The Professors of the Medical College of South Carolina iu Charleston having all resigned, aud the exercises of the College have been discontinued. There were two Medical Colleges in the city. This was the oldest. After it had been in existence some i 7ears, a difficulty arose between the Pro. lessors aud the medical society of Charleston, who owned the Institution, in consequence of which the Professors resigned and set in operation a new Medical College, called the ''Medicnl College of the State of South Carolina." This latter institution is still continued and flourishes. Silk Grower.?We have received the Octo. ber No. of this work with the cover of the December No. a mistake in the stitching Room, no doubt.

Mr. Clay in North Carolina.?The Ralcigh Register states that a free and unreserved interchange of views with the Whig members of the North Carolina Legislature satisfied him that they would warmly espouse the cause of Henry Clay as a candidate for the Presidency. Ons subject "the spy in Washington," one of fhe corrcspon* dents of the New York Courier and En-! quirer, writes as follows : Washington, Jan. Teh, 1939; } 1 On ihe evening of the SO li of December. I I unde, stand, an informal communication | between the Whigjmcmbers of the iegislai ture of North Carolina was held at Raleigh. | Among other subjects, the quas'ion ef a candidate for the Presidency came under I consideration. It*was the desire of th S: in attendance to compare opinions on that j point, and to ascertain, as tar ns practica; ble, not only their own sentiments rospecI ively, but the probable feeling and wishes of their constituents. Great enthusiasm, witli entire confidence of success, pervaded the meeting ; and the result was an almost unanimous expression that Henry Clay, of It- 1-- V ., ' j rvriiiucKj, was me man ui uir jiuujmc, | the State of North Carolina. The meeting adjourned after this interchange of opinion, with a thorough conviction, that Mr. Clay I ought to, and would be supported by that i State for the office of President. - \ Congress-?Little of any importance is ( doing in either Bouse. In tho Senate a motion by Mr. Rives to poslpone indifinitely the bill to graduate the pric'C of tho Pub- j he Lands was los', 23 to 27. The resolutions of the Legislature of' North Carolina on the subject of National politics have been presented by Mr. Brown, who expressed a determination not to regard them, because they "tacitly," denied the doctrine of instruction ! Mr. Strange , also expressed his purpose of conforming to the resolutions so far as he conscencious- , !y could ; but there wer? some things re| quired by them which ever the tortures of i martyrdum would not compel him to do. j In the House, a motion to amend a bill j to regulate rations in the navy so as to allow six cents daily instead of a gill of spirits j now allowed, prevailed. Among the numerous resolu'ions of inquiry adopted were the following. . I- a* m / t.? . 1 I un motion ot air. v>iuy, 01 ixemucwy, ; Resolved, That the Secretary of the J ! Treasury be directed 10 report to the Sen! ate t c proportion of the nctt proceeds of { the public lands which each State would I have received up to and including the 1st of January, 1S39, under the "Bill entitled an act to appropriate for a limited time the process of the sales of the public lands of the United States, nnd for granting lands to certain States," which passed both Houses of Congress, and would have become a law if it had received the approbation of the , President. Mr. Bobbins submitted the following for i consideration. Resolved, That a committee be appointed, consisting of five members of the Senate, jointly with such committee as may he appointed on the part of the House of Rcprescntatives, to consider the expediency ofpro- , viding mi ins i ulionrf learning, to be estab. lislicd in the city of VVasington, for the np- , plication o*'/he legacy bequeathed by Mr. James Smithson of London, fo the U. S. in trust for that purpose ; also, to consider the pvwwlipnrv fS n r?hnr!r?r fnrQimh institution. J w. ? together with the powers and privileges which in ihe'r opinion the said char:er \ ought to confer; also, to consider the ex. > ped cncy of ways and means to be provi. ded by Congress other than the said legacy, but in addition thereto, and in aid of said . benevolent intention, and to report on the premises. Mr. R. addressed the Senate at some length in explanation of his views on the subject of the resolution ; and, after a few ' remarks from Mr. Preston, highly complimentary of tho venerable mover, the reso. ( lutiort was agreed to. Mr. Sherrod Williams ofTered resolutions that the House proceed to the despatch of , the business of the people, and that, if it is intended to remain only to make speeches j and not to do the business of the people, ' Congress ought hencefortr. to adjourn and ' let the people elect members who will work more and ta k less. Mr. Adams objected fo consider the resolutions as being disrespectful to the House. The question of consideration was decided in tbc negative 67 to 03. Washinghon, Jan. 9,1839. UNITED STATES SENATE. A re nimportant but exciting debate sprung up to-day upon a motion to print certain resolutions adopted by the Legislatute of Vermont, touching the subject of slavery and the abolition of Slavery. Mr. Prentiss, of Vermont, presented the resolutions. They embodied sentiments ttrongly hostile to the system of slavery, and favorable to the aboltion of slavery in the District of Columbia. Mr. Prentiss,f in presenting them, made the customary motion to print. Mr. Foster, of Tenn objected. Mr. Calhoun spoke in a very excited manner in regard to the resolutions from Vermont* He was not only opposed to prnting but considered the resulutions as dangerous and destructive to the union of ihe Slates. The course of the Abolitionists he considered destructive of the best inter, ests of the States, and if persisted in, would forthwith lead to the dissolution of the Union. Mr. Kins, of Ala., snoke in a mnnner siiii more excited, and said if the matter em- 1 bodied in the resolutions was discussed and 1 considered, he and his friends would forthwi h leave the Hall, and the Union would be disolved. Mr. Lumpkin, of Geo., was surprised that the motion to print should be persisted in, and moved that the motion to print be laid on the table. Mr. Prentiss said that he asked for prin. ting as an act of courtesy to the Slate ttiat he represented, and he was surprised that the motion should be objected to. The yeas and nays were demanded, and the motion to print was rejeeted?ayes 27, noes 9. The Senate proceeded to the order of the day, after tho consideration of some misoellaneous b ness. ?

The Drought ?The drought of the sum. mer and fall, and tne cold dry weather of [he past month, are producing serious in* convenience in the central portions of the State, as well as in the lake country. The ureams, very low before freezing com. menced, ore now almost entirely convened into ice. The oldest settlers in the State never witnessed such scarcity of water. All mills, except on the largest and most duraihle streams, are stopped, and the Mount Vermon Watchman says that people come BO or 70 miles to Owl crefk for grinding ; and tha* large stream only affords water to curry a run of stones at each mill. We understand that flour is retailing at MassilIon at $8, in consequence of the difficulty of obtainning grinding.?Herald. Total Loss of an Iron Steam-vessel? By accounts from Hamburg of the 29th October, we learn that the new iron steamboat the Eagle, lately built in this country, and destined to ply on the Elbe, between Hamburg and Dresden, went down in a violent storm on the night of the 26th October, near Amelank. The crew were saved in x pilot boat, and arrived safely in Hamburg. The vessel had only left Yarmouth the preceeding Thursday.

Among them is a steamsr of nearly 600 tons. The Iron-sides, the firrt iron ship built in this port, sailed on Wednesday foi Pernambueo. She looked extremely well as she pfoceeded down the river. Next day she was seen off the Kish Bank all well. We havo heard that the President, intended as the companion of the British Queen, in tne New York 'fade, wiV be 7cnsjn:e??d of; iron.

Eagles falling and hunting.?Some years since, a herdsman, on a very sultry day in July, while looking for a missing sheep, observed an eagle posted on a bank hat overhung a pool. Presently the bird stooped and seized a salmon, and a violent struggle ensued ; when the herdsman reach, cd the spot, he found the eagle pulled under watei by the strength of the lish ; and when he arose to the surface, his drenched plu. mage rendered him unable to extricate himself.
