FRIDAY. AFR1L 12. 1839.
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

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.

supply the demand of the present year, and at

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.

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

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.

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

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. He was not only a father and a
christian, but a patriot m the true sense of the
word, always ready at his country's call,

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.
