We last week availed ourselves of the occasion of changing our day of publication, to issue two papers in one week, thus making tip for the ommission caused last fall by the unexpected delay in receiving our paper. \Y ill subscribers in arrears for a loi ger lime than we were, be good enough to avail themselves of the earliest suitable occasion to discharge their obligation. From those who will immediately pay up a'l arrearages, and will at the sameiitne also pay for the current year, we will receive the advance price. This is an offer which we have no intention of repeating. All disposed to avail themselves of it must do ; so"soon. Post Masters will please to act as agents for us and remit moneys committed to them by mail. The remarks of Mr. Moore wh'ch we con ? ' i\ .1 ' I ciihie tins weeIK, must udgrciuuy misrepresent, his political opponents, lint it still contains 6ome things worth reading. Agricultural Svcictij.?The meeting for the formation of an Agricultural Society on friday last was well attended and from the spirit and resolution evinced, \vc have no doubt that the Society will prove both efficient and highly useful. Other engagements prevented our j attending to the close of the meeting, but we j understand that or order u as passed to publish the constitution and other proceeding*. We have not yet received a copy ; as soon as we do so they shall ippeor in our columns. We understand aho mat another meeting is to be held on the Uth of May, when it is expected a still larger number will be present, especially from surrounding districts and counties. That the country is intent upon making 6iik as well as raising mulberry trees is proved i by the high price of silkworm eggs. They have been selling through the winter at from $20 to $40 per our.ee; and as the feeding season, at the North, approaches the price eeems to rise. We sec that, at Hatfield, Massachusetts, an ounce brought $50. NTow from 100 to 120 worms will produce an ounce of eggs, and three hands are tufficient to attend to 300,000, or 100,000 to the hand} which 100,000 would lay from SCO to K 00 ounces of eggs. The '"price then it is evident boars no proportion to the labor of production. N'or is it owing to any deficiency Of the stock on hand last year. !TM.o ii'nrma lvhifh wnm afifflur? t.i tl,f? rnrnnnq A UW *? V4 mw M M*w?? If V# V W%.?mvu ... for the silk were much more than sufficient to supply the demand of the present year, and at a moderate cost. The h'gh price is owing only to the unexpected extension of the si:k culture. Georgia.?The Augusta banks having refused to receive the bills of banks in the interior, and a brauch of the Daricn bank having j suspended paymeuts, the state is in great com. j motion on the subject. Almost every person i from the Savannah to the Chattahoochc, who either has cr expects ever to have possession of a dollar is in a panic. The state rights' papers are urging the merchants to petition 'for a branch of the *.Monster" as the only means of regulating their local currency."? Uncle Sam, they say, has no connection with I the horrible creature now ; he is state property and therefore acceptable to state-rights men. Incendiaries on the Frontier.?Manv houiee have been recently burnt, on the Canada ! Frontier, by parties passing across the hne from each 6ide for that purpose. 'Flic first aggression was from thfe American side into Canad3. The struggle which sido can do the other most harm, in this way, ha" been kept jup for nearly three weeks. If a few of the incendiaries wt re hung, as they deserve, it would put a stop to the mean and dastardly proceeding. If the United 6tates government cannot restrain its citizens from such outrageous assaults upon the subjects of Great Britain, it surely ought not to complain if the authorities of Great Britain should undertake the task, as some of her statesmen threaten to fa. Conrjctkut Election.?Connecticut has elected six Whig members of Congress in place ( of the six Van Bureri members in the last Con. j ; Governor has also been elected by a majority 27 10 over Governor Niles. The Whigs have large majorities in both branches of the state Legisl ature. A Court Marshall has been ordcied to in* ! vesligate charges against Commodore Elbe*. i The Military chief fairly in the field.? I A meeting of persons friendly to the election | of Gen. Scott to the Presidency was advertized ; to be held in Rochester N. V. on fho 2Sth i lilt. How little it requires in the estimation I of some persons to qualify a man for the I'res . dency, provided lie lias epaulettes on hisshou!.

I _ _ 1 Political partizans who warred to the knife against the U. S. B:nk and Mr. Biddlo whilst at its head, now, very sagaciously affirm that he has deserted the institution, only an account of the utterly desperate etate into wr.ich he had reduced its affairs, and the ascertained impossibility of retrieving them. Wonder if the men who make these assertions would not prefer the bills of the U. S. Bank taspecie, if they ! were setting out on a journey. ANOTHER CAUTION. A son of C. C Henderson, Esq. Postmaster at Lincolnton,'was killed a few days since by the accidental discharge of a Gun, which he heid in his hand at the time.?West. Carolinian. IIow strange that on this subject parents will not learn wisdom but by experience. Hardly any parent who has lost a child from the folly of suffering him to carry a gun, ever suffered another of his children to do so.? From the frequency with which we see boys with gun in hand, in the streets of our own ! town, we should not all be surprised, however | much we might be pained, to be called Up0n j again to record some such accident as the j above. For the Chcraw Gazette. Mr. Edi'cr, To answer your inquiry iuteliiigibly "What quantity ot turnips can be raised in our climate on our light 6o.l" I mu9t enter into a calculation, the result of which, I am confident will have the test of experiment.? Let U6 suppose the land to be planted, has | been ploughed deep two or three times during i summer and well manur d, and measures j seventy yards square, which we will call an acre. Let the ground be made into beds 18 inches apart, and the seed planted on thoso beds, 10 inches apart; and we shall have 140 rous, each row conta ning two hundred and fifty two hills, now multiply 140 by 252, and we have, supposing each hill to produce a turnip, thirty five thousand two hundred : and eight turnips; which at 30 to the buehel would make one thousand one hundred and seventy six bushels But let us make an i allowance of one fourth, for missing hills, and other disasters, and we shah have twenty six thousand four hundred and sixty turnips, or eight hundred and eighty two bu^h. Is. This statement may startle some of your readers, who perhaps hive never thought much about the matter; to any such, I would say make the experiment fairly, and if you do not make 83*2 busht la per acre, I will venture to assert, that you will make more than you ever made by any other mode of planting. Turnips should be planted in this climate between the I5th August and 10th Sept. and receive two or three hooings, which will add greatly to their size The best species that I am acquainted with, are commonly called | Summer, and Winter Turnip ; the former are a flat turnip and grow a good deal above giound; the latter grow bebw the surface | and are longer from top to bottom than their 1 diameter, and keep well through winter. Yours Respectfully, J. [These 852 bushels of turn'ps would be suffi cient to winter iu or cows in trns climate, with i he quantity of coarse fodder usually given to them. The butter and milk which they t would yield would be worth 5 times th J cost of raising the turnips. Suppose an aero to pro-1 dure only 400 bushels, how could the amount of labor required to'plant and cultivate them be so profitably bestowed for the benefit of cows ? If the turnips be of the kind which grow under ground they may be suffered to stand in the field all winter iu this climate. If they grow above ground they must w be gathered in the fall; v? hich however requires little labor. It is essential to good husbandry, where lands j need manuring, to raise livestock for that pur. j pose. An- roo'B are now fouud to bo so ! much the most economical food for live stock, that it is chiefly relied upon for that purpose by the most successful agriculturists.

I COL. PRESTON, j In the suit lately brought against the Pres. j byterian Church by the New School seceders ; from it, Col. Preston w*s one of the defendents. j A correspondent of the New York commercial Advertiser notices his agreement in the follow| ing language: " Wednesday March 20, 4 o'clock P. M, "On Monday, at 12 o'clock, Mr. Meredith having concluded his argument, Mr. Preston arose. For forty-eight hours Mr. P. had la- j bored under a very violent attack of illness ; from which he had recovered, with tl\e exception that he was very weak. After speaking about an hour he was compelled to accept the proffered indulgence of the Court and to suspend his argument till Tuesday. He occupied the entire sessions of Tuesday and Wednesday, having spoken altogether ten or eleven hours. "It is. impossible to give you here any proper sketch of his argument. It was perfectly methodical and I took full notes; but to do it even such an approach to justice a91 can most j hope to accomplish, would require more leisure than I can find to write out m full the notes I have taken. It was clear, logical, learned, witty, classical, glowing with npgery, now \ pathctical and now satirical, and perfectly triumphant. The jury acknowledged its power by tiieir rapt attention, and even bv tears; and the audience could not be restrained from I the expression of rapturous applause. The Judge, of course rebuked the expression, but the gravity of a court ofju?ticc could not altogether repress it. Unless the honorable gentleman can be prevailed on to write his speech j himself, wc sfiall probably never have it in j perfection. The reporters will attempt to do I it the fullest possible justice, and I will try to j give you as soon as other duties permit,^onie j such sketch as my notes will furnish.

OBITUARY. Died, in Chesterfield viliage S. C- on the 4th inst. John Craig in the 85 year of his age. The death of a man so universally esteemed, bo valuable to eocie'y and so seemingly indispensable in all ihe relations he sustained, is but another convincing proof that the possession of no virtues-however rare and elevated, can exempt from the ravages of death. The example of religion and purity which he led before his family, the tetfderfiess and pa ternal affection wk^ which he uemeanea nun. self fn all his intercourse with them, rendered his 6tay with them invaluable and hie loss irreparable. His death has indicted a wound "vt;i"h r**:?hrr {irno n.">r firnn'Ti^'-ncjco can f?"Vr ggy _| ) - M?mi heal; it must continue to bleed as long as his memory (which nothing can obliterate) is ; fresh in the recollection of his family. His godly walk in the Presbyterian church, of which he was a devoted member for years, exhibited a bright example worthy the imitation of all, but which few reach, he was correct and consistent but not bigoted. He was liberal but not licentious. Nor is his country s loss loss than that ot his family or Ins church.

J j [After the above was in type we received ! the following which we afco insert.] Died, at I'heFlherfield C. II,, on Thursday j the 4th of April John Craig, agod 84 years, 2 i months and 17 days. He left a fond wife, and | several children and grand children to mourn their loss. j The deceased was born in Grayabbey, Conn, ty Down, Irelaid, on the 17th oi January 1753, and emigrated to this country in 1791. For 28years, he filled tho office of Clerk of the ; Court of Common Pie as,and General Sessions, i He was distinguished for stern integrity, de~ J cision of character, and firmness of purpose. ; Prompted by a lively sense of justice, ho pur. ; susd what was right, regardless ofthe ephemeral j opinions of the croud, and the popular delusions of the day. A chasm is made in society by his death His friends cannot now, as heretofore, enjoy his cheerful conversation, interspersed with chaste and instructive anecdotes, which, while they delighted, so weh illustrated the lessons of wisdom he taught. But his loss is moro keenly felt by his weeping wife and affectionate children and grandchildren. As a husband he was unusually affectionate and ten. der; as a father he trained up his children in the way they should go. His last sickness was protracted and his decline gradual. Surrounded by his wife and children, who minisI lered to him every comfon, he died without a , groan, in the full triumph of faith, confidently expecting a glorious immortality. Many of the family from which he sp-ing, lived to a good old age. His gran father died at 09; his grandmother at 104; Jlis fither at* 86 and his mother at 94 years. CHE RAW PRICE CURRENT April 11.
