" Tuesday April 19 The Hog Law, we think, works badlv and ought to be be repealed. If it operated only on hogs belonging to the town it would bo less objectionable than it is. But it frequently happens that hogs of neighboring planters stroll into town and are taken up and sold before the owners know any thing of it; which is little better than absolute robbery. According to the law and usage of-<he state hogs are suffer, ed to run at large in the woods, and why should persons residing or having their plantations near villages be dcbnrrd the privilege of this law any more than oth. ? rr.??. If of the town think proper to restrain ourselves from letting our hogs i run in the streets, we ought not to infringe * upon the rights of our neighbors, because - ?

In the anniversary address read before the Pee Dee Agricultural Socioty, February 22nd 1842, is contained many truths and much useful information ; hut the j author has fallen into an error on the subject of turning in green crops. As it would gratify him as inuch as any other to arrive at the truth of the matter, I will state something of my views and experience on the subject. In the prairies of Alabama it i9 highly probable that from.turning in a crop of small grain in the summer, and in the fall, turning in the weeds or grass that might grow, the succeeding crop of cotton would he increased 50 or 100 per cent, hut it is also known that some land would be almost as much benefitted by letting it lie uncultivated one year. For although the land be in turf in the spring, working it during the summer would bring it into a fit state for the growth of cotton; but not so with the wheat crop. It requires the land to be in fine order at the time of sowing. It is probable that in this country some of the stiff river lands when worn until becoming very close might be helped by turning in green crops ; for by no other common process can land be pulverized with the same case ; and this is the error; the effeet of the fine order of the land is mistaken for the effect of the turning in the green crop. Now for my experience : last vear I sowed a field of pine land in oats. J ~ % half of which had been in corn the preceding year; the other half had not hecn , planted for two years ; the consequence | was in the half where the corn had been, the oats were as good as is usual for such land; the other half did not bring more than the seed sown ; the heads were almost too much scattered for the horses to feed on. The same field is sown this year in oats and all parts being in like order the product is expected to l?e alike. I have often witnessed the inferior crops of small grain from land in had order; no common preparation will make good wheat on land which has been uncultivated the preceding summer and not ploughed until the time of sowing. A PLANTER. [We thank "A Planter," for his comtnunication. If planters would generally publish their experience in the improvement of thrir soils and their crops, [ the agricultural public would he greatly benefitted. One fact is worth a cUzen theories. But from even facts we are liable to draw erroneous inferences. "A Planter," alludes, we suppose, to the experiment of turning in a coat of green peas as a preparation for wheat, quoted in the Anaresano which he refer*, in that experiment the land was prepared by lirst plowing in the seed peas in the | spring, and then/ in the fa!!, turning in I 11* ^ . . v i . | I ' '? ft" ''** ' *. " ' '.J a ML .11 I m ?B?r? the growth of pens with the seed wheat. The yield was fifteen times as much as that of adjoining land of the same quality which received no preparation, and stood I fallow the preceding summer. - Now our correspondent on comparing this expert* ment, as stated in the Address, with his own experiment of sowing oats in land cultivated the preceding year, and in adjoining land not cultivated, was justi- j ned in ascribing the increased product of wheat mainly to the spring plowing. I But the experiment was not fairly stated in the Address. That part of the Address was written in the midst of other engagements on the morning on which it was delivered, when there was not ume ?u commit to paper a further detail of the experiment than was necessary to exemplify the leading truth which it was intended to enforce. The part of the exj>erimont omitted would have prevented a very material error into which our correspondent fell in regard to it. In one part of the field pens were sown, in another cotton seed, and a third remained unplowcd. The wheat was sown in all at the same time. That where the growth of peas was turned in yielded Jifteen bushels to the acre; that where the growth of cotton was turned in, tcren bushels, and the remaining part one bushel. The land where the coiton was turned in was plowed at the same time with that where the growth of pens was turned in. Yet the latter yielded more than double as much as the former. This difference ca.i he ascribed only to the grenter degree of improvement from the ft ... 1. . L. c .... pea crop. now mnci! me crop ui ? ?-m in both portions of the field was increased ,';y the spring plowing is not certain. It might have been seen had r part of the field been plowed without seeding at the time when tho seed for the green crops was plowed in. Tho omission to do so was the only defect in the experiment?a defect which o? cured to the intelligent author of the experiment himself when it was too late to remedy it. The pea crop on land adapted to its growth, proves a better fetilizer than a cotton crop, because : 1. There is more of it, the growth being more luxuriant; 2. It shades the land better; and 3, it probably draws a greater proportion of its nutriment from the atmosphere. Whether there is any thing in the constituent cle. mentsofthe pea crop which renders it a better fertilizer, independent of these considerations; and whether or not it is a green crop manure peculiarly favornble to 1 wheat, can lie determined only byexperi- I ment.?En.] : from washington. From the Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. Washington, April 4. Lord Ashhurton arrived in this city, this evening, in the cars from Annapolis. His suite arrived last night. Tiie Warspite" arrived at Annapolis on Sunday morning. Lord Ashhurton took up his residence at the House opposite the Presi. dent's and next to Mr. Webster's, Imlong. ing to Mr. St. Clair Clarke. He will he here about six months. There is an; organized conspiracy to prejudice the public mind against any proposition of peace which he may offer; and however favorable advantageous to us may be the tornis, which he proposes, they will be represented as degrading and ruinous.

The new tariff bill, proposed by tho Commiitee on Manufactures, for the express pur. pose of affording protection to manufacture*, -?j 1 -~r .l- ir ?_ 1 is now primen, ana ueioro me nuuse. in . looking it over, I see that it contains some ! novel provisions. In the first place it imposes a doty of thirty per cent, on all dutiable artilces. Then it excepts iron, woollen, some c ?tton, glass, sugar, salt, coal, cordage paper, spirits and wines, silks, shoes and leather, &c., and ?m- | poses specific duties on them, amounting to more than thirty per cent, ad valorem. Then it enacts that, after the 3(>th June, 1843, an additional duty of ten per cent, ad valorem, be paid on woollens, colored, linens, lae.cs, silk and wors:ed goods, leather manufac'ures, spirits, hemp and cordage, wines of Prance, Austria and Germany?provided, that if anv : country shali receive our tobacco, grain and ; flour at a duty not higher than our duties on their produce or mantif'acturos, then tins additional rate of du'y shall be remitted in regard ?/\ ortioloo t\f t Ko n? ruliim Ot./I m^nnfaAtiiPa nf lU w. y "U??01lU ?. j hat country. The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to change any ad valorem to a ! specific duty, after giving due notice. The 4th sect. provides nothing in the bill shall suspend the execution of the distribution ant. The 5th spet. impose* a duty of three per cent, on ail sales by auction, of any dutiable ' goods, if sold withm six months after unpor- ! lation. This last provision will be of great detriment to those who wish to buy their goods where they can get them lowest. It is aimed at British agenis and intended to afford protection to American,impn-ters and additional protection to Atperican manufactures. CXi the whole, it isstrong a bill as the manufatluting interest can desire and stronger than will be permanently beneficial to thein The to-day, was engaged in the consideration of tue loan bill.

Mr. Buchanan, in the course of his remarks expressed the opinion that our foreign rela ions wore a lowering aspect; that there Wis at lea$t an equal chance of a war; and that, con* sidering the number and complication of the questions at issue, no accommodation could be expected. He said that he went tor the settlement of all or none of these questions. If all could be settled it would be well, but he repeated that he went for oil or none. Mr. Rives said, in reference to the same subject, that whether there would be war soon or no*, there would undoubtedly be a necessity for keeoing up, on our part, for some years at least, an armed observation of the principal powers of Europe?especially of England.

The Senate debate of this day will bo found worthy of Attention, on account of the statistical facts, political view-*, and moral sentiments advanced in it. Mr. Woodbury and Mr. Preston and Mr. Young, were the chief debaters. Many ; new and startling views were brought for. ward by these gentlemen in reference to the prospects of the country. Mr. t Woodbury, contended.and, hy facts incontiovcrtiule, shewed that the revenue -.fontemplated to bo raised to carry on the government, cannot be ptocured from the tariff. He shewed that in .10 two yearsexcept at the close of the yeir before the repeal of high duties, and in the one or two years, while the imports were swollen by the amount of state stocks exported, did the revenue from imports ever amount to 26 millions a year. The increase of duty; would also, of necessity,'diminish I the revenue totho extent of the protection afforded by the revenue, and this was the purpose of the proposed discrimination in favor of domestic manufactures. Cash duties and the bankrupt law would alsodi; rninish imports. Mr. W. therefore inI sisted that the government could not go on, without recalling the land fund, and adopting necessary retrenchments. Mr. | Ws. plan was to bring the ordinary ?Xj p*i.. as of the gove-nment down to 20 millions; to allow one million for contingencies and appropriate two for the debt. This sum of twenty three millions he would thus rai???16 from the present Tariff; 3 from the lan&; and 4 from tea, pfiffwo nther srtirles now flee. If thisl plan was not adopted, we must soon resort to practical repudiation or to excises, and whiskey taxes, and meet whiskey insurrections. Mr. W. romarked, as one objection to the proposition to sell the stock, under the { loan bill, to the highest bidder, that the buyer should lake ttarniug of the princi pies which had been avowed and carried out in some of the States. They must beware how they tempt those who follow us to excuse themselves from paying the debt by declaring that they have not re ceivcd a full equivalent for it?that it f-waa extorted from them by fraud, by no. cessity,or by Shylorkism;?this pipe had been held sufficient, in these times of repudiation, for refusing to pay a debf. Mr, W.'s warning ought to be heededIt is an awful, an overwheling truth? that the government deserves no confidence. Mr. Preston's speech was one of the most powerful he has ever made. He devoted much of it to shew that the wretched situation of the government and the country had been brought about by the extravagance?.the corruption?the inbecility of the late administration. Other portents of it related to the present situation of the country, and its future pros| peritv?-the remedies for the present embarrassments, 61 c. One truth he brought forward?which seemed startling as coming from a man of his moderation?though it was thundered at us, the other day, byMr. Mangum, it produced less impression ?that the moral sentiment, on which this poverment wns founded, had been o stunned Uy recent shocks; that no man could now entertain the same love for his country that he did prior to the loss of credit by the general nnd state govern, ments?and that, though we might never cease to love her, with all her faults yet, it would he, aa we loved a friend who had been tainted in honor. Mr. Prciton advocated the passage of the bill, without the amendment restoring the lands; though he was ready, in a separatebill, to vote for recalling the land fund. The question being taken, the amend- j ment pledging the lands for the debt was lost?yeas 19, nays 25. The House was engaged all day on the general appropriation bill.

Ii was attended by about 150 gentlemen? embracing many members of both Houses of Congress, strangers and citizens, ivinsi of those present were Mr. Clay's warm personal and political friends. The sen. timents and speeches were of much inter, est, and manifested a strong devotion to Mr. Clay. At the same time, it has been remarked, perhaps with justice, that the tone of the meeting was influenced more bv the recollections of disappointment, than by the prospect of success. It was a meeting of friends who had long co-op. erated, with their distinguisned leader, in a great political object, and for the purpose of bidding him farewell. If they assemble again, it will be in victory. They might well leave said to Mr Cla/? '* ]f we do ineet aga in, we'll smilo indeed. If not, 'lis true, thi* partipg was well ma le." Mr. S. S. Prentiss^ of Mississippi, made a very brilliant speech. Mr. Saltonstull made some remarks which were well re. eeived. Mr. Clay and Mr. Preston also *poke; with great etlat. Mr Tyler and - ,. .~=. . the heads of department were invited, hut but did not come. It is remarked that s Mr^Tyfer could not attend, after Mr t Clay's Alexandria letter, which speaks of Mr Tyler's administration as weak, vacihting, and faithless." Asjo the Sec. retaries, they took to themselves, of course, their share of the compliment. Much has been said lately* in this city ^ in regard to the next Presidency* The | campaign is fairly opened. At n recent congressional wh?g caucus, it wasdetef- c mined to press tho claims of Mr Clay, * and to adhere to him, through all cir. ^ cumstances and all changes. This is the tone of a portion of the whig pnrty now and more especially of those who were the fir*t to betray and abandon Mr ('lav, at the Ilarrisburg convention; and who wish to use him now, for the ultimate pur. pose of bringing out General Scott. Among those from whom he may again expect the same treachery a*e, perhaps, some who, last night, * dipped with him ' in the dish" Mr Mnngum did not, in his lata invoctive, oxaggoratc the political profliga- . ey oftbo time.
