Which resolumion was adopted. Dr. John Davis moved the filowing: Whereas; C.ngress having passed a law for the suppression of tihe importation of impure anid inert drugs, has vested in the Treasury Departmment tihe power and duly of appointing an inspector of drugs for the dillhrent ports, and, Whereas; un Inspector has been np. pointed for the Port of Charlston, whose neiquitintaict with the science of Medicine seems not to be sufficien to gmii runtee the faithful enforceniment of tihe said Law; therefore be it.

The amount of information comprised in the brief compass of an Oration is, most generally. small; but in the present instance, wenust accord to Dr. Gaillard the happy faculty of compressing a vast aRmout of information in a small space; of being con cise and explicit, without obscurnghis mean ing by his brevity. Aflter Ihe Or.ition, the Assoiation adjour ned to the Hall of Iho South-(arolina Socie. ty, where a sunptuous entertainment had boon ordered by the Stewards of the Associa. tion, and which was served up in Lee's usu. ally elegant style. At foiur o'clock the mem bers wore seated around the festive board; mirth and hilarity prevailed the entire eve ning. and the Physicians of the city and coun try vied with each other in contributing tothe eijoyments of the evening; and the "i'nst of reason and the flow of soul," the enlivening song and mirth exciting anecdote, made hours appear as minutes.

SuBScnnRs To NEWsPAPErS.---Ve would have soe subscribers learn, that before they have any right to find faith with a newspa per, they should discharge their own obliga tions to it, by honestly and promptly paying what they owe-for how do they know that the deliciencies they imagine to exist, ma not be occasioned by the neglect of themse ves and others, to support the Editor and the - publishers, as they engaged to do. Let us suggest, also, in this connection, that the ex perience of Newspaper Editcrs will probably go to prove, that nine out of ten of those who find fault witi their papers, have not paid for them. When a man has made hiviself the real patron of a journal, ho'generally discov ers more readily its merits than its demerits. Moreover, we would that some of thiose huo subser .4 u ceiving the paper, xIbits an 'liquity of moral sense, which we deem utterly incdn.; sistent with the character of that noblest work of God-an honest man.-Southern Literary Ga:cue. WrAT is LAW L. m..-Law is like d country dance; people are led up and down in it till they are tired out. Law is like a book of surgery-there are a great many terrible cases in it. It is like physic too, they that take the least of it are the best olY It is a like homely gentleman, "very well tofollow," and a scolding wife, very bad when it follows us.- '4 Law is like a new fa-hion, people are be wit ched to got into it; "and like bad weather," most people are glad to get out of it.

'In an earthen or tin pan, any acidity n tie inilk will act up. on the lead with which those articles are cov ered, and tie milk will be in some degree in juriously affectcd.

Po .cE aAN A'rE CO'r-ON.-Since our laste i in which we noticed the existence of this sin gularly prolitic and superior species of cotton, we have had the pleasure of an interview ty, Mississippii, now ini this city, who has with himi several specimens of trio p'ant, in dicatinLg its rich and luxuriant qua lities. It is decidedly superior to any species of upland cotton whlich we have ever seen. The bolls . are larger and miore abundant, literally covers ing thec branches; the staple is longer, stout^. or, and finer, anildie cotton can he picked or gathiered with greater case and rapidity. Tihe stalks and biranches have the peculiari y of having no joints as in other varieties; mtd being' stout aind uplright. Gen. Mitchell; whlo is a highi!y initelligenut and practical lhan or, has cultivated this cotton for two years' rid has found it easy of cultivation, and re narkaubly prolific. One acre yieled over 'ix thousand pounds of snperior cotton, of vhiich one hundred poundr: in the seed fnrn; shed thirty-t wo and ai half pounds of thN lint: Bly accuraite experiments, he found th,1 si~it~ jI ive bolls yieldeid one pouind of ginned cotton.
