We have complaints from different quarter persons who put their names to subscriptior papers for the Cberaw Gazette, that the paper h&' not been sent to them. The reason is that th< subscription papers have not been returned to us Wo hope persons still holding any with names t< them, will be good enough to return them with out delay. We havo received a report of Congressiona proceedings down to the 13th, but not in time foi this week's paper. Nothing very important hat been done. In the House the debate on the abo. ktion question was postponed, but has, no doubt, 'before this boon resumed. A debate arose in the Senate <m tho samo subject on the 7th, which consumed tho day. The question wa6 one made by Mr. Calhoun, wltether or not a petition from Ohio for abolition in tho District of Columbia should be received. The principal Speakers were Messrs. Calhoun, Porter, and Preston. The question was again moved on the 11th and the ciatter laid on the table. The Soutlicrn Member; are determined to obtain a decided expression ol the epinion of both Houses on the subject. Nc better time can ever arrive for it. Hut one mem. bcr, Mr. Slade, of tho House, lias yet made an abolition speech. Ex President Adams has threat. <ned to niafce one, if tho members from tho slave, holding States would not evince a fear of meeting the^aeation by letting the subject pass without defette. *?*. Wo are glad to see among the proceedings of the Senate the following resolutions offered by Mr. Clay, on the 11th nst. and adopted on tho nextday: Resolved? Yhat the President be requested to lion."

R .sclv-d, also, under the resolution above mcntii/ued, in the event ?t ?ny *ucK overture having been made. That the President be requested to tuform the Senate what answer was given to it; and that he be further requested to communicate a copy of it to the Senate. It has been stated on credible testimony that an overture suchasjthit referred to in these resolutions had been made to the President before he transmitted his message to Congress at the opening of the session, d* that he rejected, it. It is due tc O r the character of the President and the nation to settle the truth of the rumor. Mr. Barton, our late Charge d'Affaires at Paris, has returned home, and Mr. Pvgcoi^has taken hi? departure from Washington. All diplomatic cor. rcspondence between the two nations is thus cut off. But we still hope that war may and will he avoided. Southern Agriculturist. We havo received the January number of this valuable periodical. It contains an unusual variety of interesting matter in its department.? This is the first No. issued under the management of its new Editor, B. R. Carrol, Esq., and contains ample evidence of his fitness for the task which he has undertaken. The Columbia Telescope says: 44 We confidently predict that his lakriM will elerntn the usefulness of the Dublica it Insurrection. Lynching:.?It appears from a let- i d ter published in the National Intelligencer, dated ! 0 N. Orleans, Dec. 29, that an insurrection of ne. 1 groes was detected at Jackson, heliciana county, 11 Lou., on Christmas cvv. Upwards of 40 slaves .S were found in arras, among them favorito confiT dential servants of families. Great commotion d was of course produced in tlie surrounding coun- | > try Two white men, one an overseer and the j O ot}jcr an abolitionist, wero partakers in the in- : y gurrection, and were both hanged, on Saturday j ir the 26th. i. f 11 Jackson City.?On tho 11th inat. Gen. Juckt son laid tho corner stone of a new city to be call- J ed Jackson', which some northern capitalists have i ' undertaken to build on the south side of the Potomac, nearly opposite Georgetown. A large g concourse of people assembled of conrso to witt ncss so imposing a spectacle. 9 ^ > Wm. H. Haywood, Jr., Esq., of Raleigh, has been appointed by the Governor of North Caroj Una, Commissioner to proceed to the Northern ; . cities to negotiate a loan of ?400,000 to pay tho shares of stock reserved by the State in the Bank of North Carolina.

Wc hear loud complaint* from every quarter of extraordinary irregularity in the mails. The f extreme confusion into which this very important * department of tho National Government was thrown by the Reform at the commencement of 1 the present administration, is, we fear, not likely to be remedied soon. The public want accoin. modation in this department, as well as retrench* ' ment of exjwnses. We jive a single instance of irregularity. The mail from Louisville to Cincinnati is carried by steam boats, and passes thro' , no intervening Tost Office. Yet wo learn from the Cincinnati Whig that lately two successive weeks had passed during which not a single number of the Louisville Journal had been re- i ceivcd at tho office of that paper, although the j i journal, which is a daily paper, had been regularly deposited in the Louisville Post Office. The < Editor of the Journal is pretty angry on the sub- 1 ject. We would let our readers sco how he speaks, : but that he uses harsher languago than we arc accustomed to admit into our columns. He affirms that his annual loss " consequent upon their (the Van Burcn Postmasters')' rascality, J cannot be one farthing less than six or sevon thousand dollars." Enough, this, to make a mau , angry. , We recollect seeing it stated in tho N. Y. Cour- j ier &. Enquirer lately, that more than twenty \ subscribers discontinued that paper at a single office, ou account of Uiu irreguiuriiy wuu wnicn they received it. We do not seo complaints on this subject in j the administration papers. If they havo cause they ought to complain in justice to the depart' ment. For then honest men would not be so apt to suspect dishonesty in its management. ' We say dishonesty. For as all parties pay equally > to the support of the Post Office department, it j would surely be dishonest to distribute its benefits unequally. 1 The Post Muster General lias fined the contractor for carrying the mail from Mor; gantown to Ashcville, N. C. twelve dollars j ' for failing three times to deliver the mail when i due. . Mail Robberies.?Some weeks ago, it was discovered that a depredation had been committed on the great mail between Maysville, Kentucky, and ZanesviHc, Ohio. A I prompt investigation was made, which, we learn with pleasure, has resulted success1 flUK I IU11V* A driver of the name of Raynolds and his confederate, Wickersham, a storekeeper, it is said, at Sinking Spring, Ohio, have | been arrested. Rayuolds has confessed, j * and delivered up money and drafts. They ; ware immediately taken to Columbus,where,' the Court of the United States being in ses- \ ; sion, thev have been indicted. At the same court, Smith, a mail robber, heretofore indicted, was convicted. Globe. I Tho Cincinnati Whig pays that this is the elcv. j i? cnth time the mail ha9 born robbed within 12 ; years between Bainbridge and Maysville. . ? We have been informed by a gentleman, j recently from Mobile, that the mail bag con; taming newspapers, was broken or torn pp. en, by accident between Macon and August ta? and that packages of New Orleans pa. . pers were occasionally falling out, to which ! f no attention was paid* by the driver. This j . will account for the occasional failure of the 1 newspaper mails.?Char. Conricr. Cincinnati and Charleston Rail Road.? i . Col. Blanding, the efficient agent of the cit-. . izens of South Carolina, in this great enter-1 i prize, arrived in this city yesterday. lie j : has effected more in three or four weeks, j r than any individual or body of men ever I - did in the same period; -lie lias got the bill . which we published on the 9th iust., passed 1 into a law in the States cf South Carolina, j North Carolina and Tennessee, without es-' r scntial variation, and we have no doubt he , will succeed equally well with Kentucky, - and for this plain reason: he will show her j . Legislature that it is for their interest to pass | it. No man in the United States unaCr"1 > stands this subject better than Col. Blanding, ? s he having been for eight years superjnten-! - dent of public works for the State of South ; Carolina, and his being employed on this j most arduous and delicate mission, is a dc- j r cisive proof of the manner in which he ex- j r ecuted his former trusts.?Cincinnati Past, j i t Turpentine commands (per barrel) $4 at i Wilmington, and 84 25 at Newbern, N. C. j We learn from the Post, that a number of our citizens offered Col. Blanding, of South Carolina, a public dinner, on his recent visit to this ]>lace. The dinner, however, was declined, in consequence of official engagements.?Cincinnati Whig. A Good Example.?A mercantile firm in Fayettoville, N. C., on hearing of the great fire in New York, immediately remitted S20,000y with orders to anticipate the payment of all demands against them held bypersons who had suffered by the fire. N. Y. Journal of Com. The N. York Star states, that " among the ruins of the Exchange, the Jersey Little Falls Co. dug out their Iron Chest, containing $23,000 in bills?all secure!" So much for a good Iron Chest. Fifty-two volunteers for Texas left Cincinnati on the 29th December. Arrest of a murderer.?Thomas Curtis, who murdered Thomas Cash, in Anson, N. C., several years ago has been apprehended and committed to jail in Mobile. The Senate of Illinois have adopted resolutions approving the nomination Judge White for the Presidency. On Friday, the 25th ultimo, a melancholy accident occurred at Frankfort, Ky. The middle arch of the bridge over the Kentucky fell into the river, carrying with it two wagons with their drivers and teams, and several foot passengers. It is supposed that several lives were lost. One colored man is known to have been killed. Rail Road Accident.?Mr. Geortre Green, of Boston, who is somewhat deaf, was walking on the track of the Lowell Rail Road on Tuesday morning near Winter Hill, in Charlesto wn,when the dii t cars passed along. The engineer rang the bell to alarm him, but as he turned to avoid the train, his foot slipped, and before the locomotive could be slo ped the cars passed over his leg, crushed it to pieces, and broke his arm in two places. Five of the cars were thrown from the track, and an Irish labourer had his neck broken by falling backwards across the rail. Boston Transcript. Rail Road Accident.?As the cars were on their way from Lancaster to Philadelphia on Saturday, they came against a car that had been left standing on the road. The concusssion destroyed the standing car, and threw the locomotive off the road, though fortunately no other injury was done. Horrible Catastrophe.?On the 11th ult. the house of Mr. Christopher Iloughtaling, in Lafayette, Onondaga county, New 1 ork, was burned to the ground, and Mr. H. and one of his children perished in the flames. On the night above mentioned, Mr.H.awoke, and found his house completely enveloped in flames?so much so that all communication with the doors leading to the open air was completely cut off. He took his wife u?a two .mail children and thrust them thro' a small window into the open mr, and then returned to rescue another child, but-the? flames bursting in upon him, he was unable to make good his retreat, and together with the child ])erishcd in the devouring element. When taken out he was literally burned to a crisp. Mrs. H. and one of the children, through exposure to the piercing cold, were severely frozen. A young man by the name of Hovt was also severely burnt. He csca ped through the flames at the imminent risk of his life. Sudden Reverse.?The Eastern Argus relates the death, at Stonewater village, of a young lady, Miss Winslow?by being overturned in a sleigh on going home from a wedding party. Avalanche?An avalanche of a Large body of earth and rock occurred lately on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road, about thirty miles from Baltimore. But it was not apprehended that any interruption would take place in the business of the rail road. Tlie following is a literal extract of a letter from a gentleman of high standing at Paris, to his correspondent in New York: "Paris, Nov. 21.?We have communicatcd to you, from time to tiinc, the different versions current as to what had passed on tho cnHiwt nf the Treatv. and we mav now add, that it lias been stated to us, that M. do Broglie had declared to Mr. Barton, J^e was ready to pay the money instantly, provided the latter would write a few lines tp the effect that the American government had not intended to menace or insult France?which was declined." Gen. North died in New York on the Gth inst. at the age of 83. He served through the Revolutionary war, a large portion of the time as aid to Baron Steuben. The Bank of the United States has declared a semi-annual dividend of 3 1-2 per cent.

Tlie panic was however quieted the next day by the news from Washington, and the stocks rose.

Revenue of Neto,York.?We learn that the amount of revenue collected at the Custom House in this city during the quarter ending on the 30th September last, amounted to no lesS a sum than $5,472,642 04, which is more than half tho revenue of the year 1834.

Jan. 19. lOtf THE SILK CULTURIST. ] THE Executive Committee of the Hartford ' County Silk Society, have commenced a 1 monthly publication, called the Silk Culturist and FarmerManual. The object of the publication is to disseminate a thorough knowledge of the cultivation of the Mulberry Tree, in all its varieties?the rearing of Silk Worm6?the production of Cocoons, and the reeling of Silk, in the most approved method. The importance of this knowledge will appoar from tho.fact that the nett profits of land devoted to the culture of Silk, is double, if not triple to that derived from any crop which can bo put up. j on it. It is also a fact, that every fanner can , raise several hundred dollars worth of silk, without interfering with his ordinary agricultural j operations. But in order to avail iiimself of this j facility to gain competency and wealth, which our soil and climate have given him, he most pas- ' sess himself of information on tho subject?for without it his attempts will be fruitless. It is, therefore, the object of the Committee to diffuse this information as extensively as possible, and at the cheapest rato. Tne publication will contain a complete manual or director)* from sowing the seed to reeling the Silk, together with such facts and experiments, as will enable farmers to ] raise Silk, and prepare it for market, without fur. ; ther knowledge or assistance. It will also con* tain interesting matter on agricultural subjects in general. Terms.?The Culturist will be published in monthly numbers of Eight Quarto Pages, at Fifty Cents a year. No subscription will be received unless paid in advance, and for not less than a year. Subscriptions received by F. G.
