AN EXTRAORDINAiY LoCK.--TLe editor of the Americai Artizan was recently shown a piece of- mechanism called Yale's M gie Loek, which is ab solutely unipiekable as the kernel of a alnut would he without damaging the shell.

I dein 'oper.pethlireslold of.oflike, rStite in brief and gener a1 teris, the views which will here ifter govern my official conduct. Our constitution coidides but a limited portion of the activo power of governnient to its chief executive o iceur. Besides the general superinten dence demided of him. the supervis. ion of t he institutions ofeducation, anr the connand and inspection of mili tia, his nost responsible duty is the discreet exercise of his interposition, in telpjar-ing any uidue.rigor, in the en forcemzient of the penal lIaw. It is scarcely nc-cessary to advert to the ilipot tace of a proper at tentIion to those institutions which the State has established ior the imnprovenient of education. I shll regard it as oiIe of r1ost pleasing functions, to do my part ill the discharge of this, our com mon duty. And if I can contribute, in any degree, is raise the standard, Or extend the benefits of these wise es tablishmlents, I shall regard mnyself as richly rewarded for the most anxi. ous eilits. A proper attettion to the organizil tion (of tie Alilitia is also an inidispen sable pait of liy public ditty; and if we cannot expect to render our citi zen-soldiery equal to those trained ill the severe school of* nilitary life, we may yet do most ituportait service inl keeping up such a sytel, as will it oice iretniind our countrymen t hat they inay one -day have to take their pliace inl the field, and will keep us acquainted with the resottice-s of* the State. The Constittition re'jin-cs of ne to t.ike care that the laws be executed in maercy; and to this end clothes tie with the power of pain111 Itid reprieve. Ill ily view, this by no imneans permits ile to indulge iy own feelings in the genet-al adniiiistration of justice. The expediency of' an law is exclusively Ia question fotr thu Legislature.

The common coiplaint of too much i legislation, is certaiuly not applicable to this State, and our legislators de' serve all praise fur the' despihtel'ith which the..ave inr sisio f, twen ty-two days, transacted. brsiness, which to-uninitiated eyes seemed to hluvq e nknded the attention of m9nths. Our own delegates have well done their part. To Col.

AsuMOitaE's motion, to increase the appropriation for the Free School fund from $37,200 to *74,400, (which was passed,) commanded strict attention. A monig the bills carried throngh vas one amndli(ling the charter of the Wil nmiigton and Mainelester Rail Road Cmnpany so as to allow it to connect with the Columbia branch (if the South Carolina Road, which the delapidated condition of the Camnden branch, as evinced by the late. accidents on that Road has rendered extremely derir ous. Also a bill re-chartering the Bunk of tihe State, and granting char ters to eight new Banks, amoing which is the Bank of Sumter with a capital of $300,000; we believe there is searcely two opinions in our comnmn'df itr re. gard to the necessity of having such an institution in our intMst, there is capital ettidA ih Yur District to es tatblisi many sneh Banks. and we hope it will not now be withheld. The iinportant measure of re-district hig the State, occupied soic time, and has resulted in the aniexation of Ches ter to our Congressional District, which, as far as we can learn, is generally ne eeptable. The Comptroller General was au thorized, upon satisfactory' evidence being produced that *250,000 had been raised by private subscription, aid ex. pended in t he construcifon of the "Blue Ridge Rail Road," to endorse bonds to the amount of .625,000 ; on an ad ditional expenditure of *250,000, the State to endorse a gain to thle amount of' *625,000; the bonds to lie sold at par or the State eudorsetit tW be void.

BanAKINo UP' OF AN leEino IN 'InE A ac-rw SEA.--When an immense ice berg begins to tumible to pieces, and chamige its position ini the water, the sight is really grand,-perhaps one that canm vie with an earthquake. Mas ses inconceivably great, tour times time size of St. P'aul's Cathedral or West minister A bhey, are submerged in thme still blue water to appear again att thme surface, rolling and heaving migantically iim the swelling waves. 'olumes of spray rise like clouds of white vapior into the air all round, and shut out the beholder fromi a sceme too sacred for eyes not im-. mtor'tal. Thie sountd that is emitted is not secondl to terrific peals of' thunder, or the dischairge of whole parks of' aitillery. The sea, smooth and tranqumil, is aroused, and oscillations travel ten or twelve miles in every direction; and if' ice should cover its surface in one entire sheet, it comes uip into detached pieces in the same manner as if the swell of an extensive sea or ocean had reached it. And be fore a quiescent state is assum~ed, pro bably two or three icebergs occupy its place, the tops of some of' which may be at an elevation of upwards of two hundred feet., having, in tihe course of the revolution, turned up the blue XMG t6 025pe100 lhbs .t", notwgthstang r0 l eQ ld Apts'at ti paeover hose Jf fale IJ is ate seliing i-om the bok at 8 a. 82 centa per >onid.
