-' i. ... - ; - msns TOTOHAILo j CAIUDEN, S. CAROLINA. I ? ( WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 9, 1841, | i *r*5? Th? Droceedings of the mooting ^nt Hang. | ing Rock are unavoidably crowded out this week h they shall appear iu our next. J \ x . 1 I The Court of-Equity for this -District commenced t its sitting iu this town on Monday last, Chancel. ( lor Dojoqn presiding. | t The Psesidest's Message.?We present this do- s ? cument to our readers to-day, at least so much of I it as contains all ' the recommendations which the i President has made to tho extra Session, and the t reasoning by which the measures proposed are sus. t tained. t We do not feel disposed to comment on this paper, t even if we had leisure to do so, which we have not, ( as tare hivo already expressed our opinions on the t various topics which it discusses. We may say i however that the message has one excellent charac. ( eristic?brevity. t Tiw Extra Session.?The two Houses of Con- J gress were organized on 31st ult. The Hon. John 1 Wuit*. of Kentucky, was elected speaker of the t House of Representatives, and Matthew St Clair i Clarke, Clerk. In the House, Mr. Adahs had > occupied nearly a whole day, in arguing the repeal I -of the rule which prohibits the introduction, or dis- ' cufsion, of papers relative to the abolition question. 1 In the-Senate Mr. Clat gave notice that he should move the appointment of a select committee, to which should be referred the financial portion of the message. \ CrQur dates from Washington are to the 4th inst. The Senate wero at work, in good earnest. The first object is the repeal of the Sub-Treasury, and itio second, the establishment of a National Bank, both of which will no doubt, be immediately effect, ed, so far as tho Senato ia concerned. The house movos slowly. The regular committees have not Jet been appointed in that body. Mr. Adams was hammering away at the 21st rule. An Ewtor Amo.vw Flowers.?Under this hold the Editor of the G tllatin Union, Tennessee, copies our remarks upon our lute excursion to Charlotte, and then adds: The writer of the above displays comroemlVble taste; hut ho has omitted the la <Ue?t the- blooming country girls, in his enumeration of beautiful things. If he he not like Mogan, a doomed bachelor, lie must,havo been out on very particular business, and prudently points from, the object he intends to possess, if he may. Sue cess attend him, for the writer of such sentiments can be nothing less than a worthy man. We would however say that he is not exactly au fait, in .^peaking of tha Woodbine and the Honeysuckle, although .i.?, a great p?ei xras wrim-u nun . The Woodbine sliall entwine the Honeysuckle." Can a tiling entwine itself? Now, if not this a capital joke?tee who have Ixon a Benedict fourteen years from this very day, - suspeclpd of being still a bachelor! We are however greatly obliged to him for his good wishes for oar success, and whenever he goes a wooing, perhaps we can furnish liirn with a few lessons. Not so fast about the Iloncysucklo either, if you please, sir. We admit that the Woodbine iind Honeysucklo are oil of the same family and . answer to tbc eamo Generic term, yet their specific names are different. In fact their varieties are very numerous. Tho Woodbine, so far as it has come under our observation, is distinguished for the beauty and luxuriance of its rich tcral or yrllow blossoms, and is bonafide a vine. While the American Honeysuckle, though fragrant is comparatively a short scrubby affair, with a pale blossom, almost white. -The English, the Spanish, Japan, &c. all of which are cultivated in our gardens, are not only rich in their varied colouring, but retnarKaDio ior their exquisito perfbmn, a qualification in which 1 tho. Woodbine is totally deficient. They are moro an the form of a Lush, but may yet be trained to a ' v great height. VVe have now before us a specimen of the Eng. - lish Honeysuckle and also of Scarlet Woodbine, 1 and find a considerable difference in the formation ' of their trumpet flowers. Those of the Woodbine are the largest in circumference and terminate in five small petals^. The tube of the Honeysuckle is more slender. Wramating in two long petals, the upper and broader of which is four parted, while the un. dor, which is qnito narrow, curls gracefully below. ,J.J ; There is also some difference with regard to the ' leaves, but as wc do not intend a botanical lecture, ! - Mwo think wo have said enough on that subject. If the Editor of tho Union ever journeys in this ! direction, we will tako him to. our own domicile where wo will prove tho truth of our first assortion, ' - : and also greet his wondering eyes with the Wood* bine and Honeysuckle, of different varieties, twining together in graceful luxuriance, and that too with, -.in a few feet, and in full view of our Editorial c table. i t < ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA. By the arrival of the Steam Ship Acadia at Boston, we have date? from Liverpool to tho 19th ult. The news in not of a very important character. The 3 cotton market ia very dull, though money was plen. ' ty, and the grain crops promising' ( The British Ministry do not seem disposed to \ hurry into a war with this country, about the casoof ] ; * r McLsod. There is not the slightest nows of tho President Steamer, and all hope of her safety is abandoned. * ' A Judicial Scene in Virginia?On looking over some old Magazines lately, ' , (says the N. Y. Sun,) we came across the ' following capital description of a curious ' scene in a Court Room in Virginia, during 1 the last war with Great Britain: i waa during the last war when the vessels of Ad miral Gordon * were- making their way up the Potomac to Alexandria that a negro woman was arrainged for kil ing one of her own sex and colour she hat been committed for murder, but the evi ience went clarljc/fo establish jhe deed t( manslaughter, inasmuch as itwasdon? n sudden heat, and without malice afore .hought' The Attorney for the common' wealth waived the prosecution for rfiprdei )ut quoted British authorities to show thai ihe might be convicted of manslaughter, hough committed for murder. The counsej or the accused rose, and in the most sc emu manner asked the court if it was a hing ever heard of, that an individual * - - - .tini.t/l iccuaen 01 one crime anu ueijuutcu onutnu ie arrainged immediately for another, inder the came prosecution? At intervals >oom?boom?boom went the British canion?British authorities, gentlemen!?Is here any one upon the bench so dead to he feelings of patriotism as at such a mo nent to listen to British authorities, when he British cannon is shaking the very tails of your court house to their four iation. This appeal was too cogent to be relisted. Up jumped one of the justices and irotested that it was not to be borne?lei he prisoner go?away with your British uithoiitif.s! The counsel for the accuset rubbed his hands, anil winked at the attor ley: the attorney stood agast?his aslonisl ment was too great for utterance, and thi negro was half way home before he re covered from his amazement. Highly Important from Washington War with England Prodablv at last ?The United Stales Gazelfe of yester day lias the following astonding state ment:? Hijhly Important. Extract of a letter, dated WASHINGTON, May 26, 1841. Much surprise lias been exptessed b; the public, that our Minister in Londo should have taken upon himself the rt sponsibility of recommending the immcdi ate return of our squadron from the Medi terronean. This surprise will in some tneasur cease, when I inform you that Mr Steven son had information that the British Gc vernment had transmitted instructions t the Admirals at the American stalior ordering them, immediately upon recciv ing authentic information that McLeor an officer of the British army; had bee executed, to proceed on the coast of th United Stales, and to set fire to, and bur down, our cities nnd towns along th whole coast. There is every reason to believe thf this statement is true. We may as we prepare for war as not.?N. Y. Herald. Berkshire Hogs.?We have always fe some doubt as to the correctness of th claims set up for this breed of Ilogs, unt a day or two since. We saw at our friend' Dr. Tarker of Columbia, a pair of Berl shires, the sow is only thirteen months oh and was raised in the yard with twent others, on slops from the kitchen?fairin just as the others?and we think no on would judge her to weigh less than tw hundred and fifty. We measured he four and a half feet round the body, ju; behind the shoulders, where the girth i smallest, and four and a half feet fror the root of the ears to the root of th tail. It is decidedly the finest hog we hav ever seen, to be raised as it has been, an we have no hesitation in saying, that an one who will expend a few dollors in ob taining the breed of the Berkshires, wi soon find his money returned ten fold ii the improvement of his stock of Hogs. Temperance Advocate.
