L . 1 ' 1 T??f? CH E R AW GAZETTE. FitliM* EVENING. AUGUST 16, 1839. The tobacco crop in Virginia is likely to be a short one. Hamilton C. Jones. Esq., the able editor of the Salisbury Watchman, has sold the establishment to Messrs. Pendleton & Bonner. Larqb Bests. The Augusta Chronicle says< Mr. Wro? Harper, of this city, brought to our effioe two Beets?one of them was twenty in. ches in circumference and two feet long?the other twenty inches in circumference and nearly twenty in length. One weighs 6 1-2 lbs. and the other 7 3-4. Successive Crops of Silk,?Messrs. R. & H. Carson, of Lancaster, Pa., in a letter to the edi tor of the Journal of tho American Silk Society, say : " We are now feeding a large quantity of worms and will contirue to hatch out and feed , successive crops during the season; have also hatched out a parcel of worms which were pre served in an ice house since 1837, and the worms appear qaite vigorous and healthy, and do not differ in any respect from those treated in the usual way. The vitality of the silk worm con* tinuing so long is a matter of great importance, and was an accidental discovery. We are sorry we did not reserve a portion of them in order to ascertain how long their vitality could be preserved.* Here if a fact in corroboration of several others which have been published, showing that silk worm eggs inay be preserved in an ice.bouse thro' summer without loosing their vitality / and no one doubts that when thus preserved they will batch at any time when properly exposed to a sufficient degree of warmth. We see no good reason then to doubt that five <;r six full crops of silk may be made in this climate in a sing e season, each of which is equal to a cotton crop by the same hands at present pri.es. Silk Culturitt.?We have been a good deal interested lately in looking over the back numbers of this periodical. It is published monthly in Weathersfield (Conn.) and a >ly e ited by Judge Comstock. Price one dollar per annum. , For the first two years the price was only fifty cents. The resent is the fifth year; of course the price of the current volume and back num. bers would be $4, but they are offered at $3 50 in notes of any solvent banks in the U. States, remitted to the editor or any agent without put. ting him to the expense of postage. The work, besides such practical information as the culturist might need, furnishes a history of the silk culture in this country. We subjoin the names and residence of a number of the agents, to some of whom persons at the south wishing to procure \the work might find it more convenient to make * remittance than to the Editor.

In the Lin. coin d strict, yet to be heard from, it is supposed that Mr. Conner the admit.istration candidate is re elected. If so, tho administration party have elected 6 members and the opposition 5, Mr. Fisher professes not to be for the adminis. tion, but the administration party supported him and calculate upon his vote on party questions in Congress. If the election of President should goto the House the vote of N. Carolina will of coureo be cast for Mr. Van Buren. Two years ago the Whigs elected 7 members and the Van Buren par y 6; but at the laat session two of those elected as Whigs, vix. Messrs. Shepherd of Newhern and Sawyer of Edenton went over to the Administration. Mr. Shepherd has been rc-elooted, and Mr. Sawyer superceded. We have accounts of the vote on the common school question from only 13 counties. Of these 11 voted for common schools, generally by very large majorities; and two against.

The reason which she afterwards assigned was that Mr. Van Buren had villified her husband in his life time. It is an evidence of the perfect self command of the President that not tho slightest appearance of pain or disappointment was evinced in his countenance or manner The Editors of the American Silk Grower Burlington, N. J. state that they have more than 1000 pages of new treatises in French upon the silk worm and sugar beet, now iu the hands of a translator, for their periodical. The Greensborough (N. C.) Patriot states that two children in that neighborhood were killed by lightning on the 29th ult. Both parents were from home, and on their return, found the children lifeless under an apple tree near the dwelling house, whither .tbey had probably gone to gather fruit The tree was Blightiy injured by the lightning. * ? .

Extract from a letter to the Editor dated , 5th August, 1839. Dsar Sir :?Among the various prints which come to me from the Post Office* and i believe there are no less than ten, I read nom with more agreeable instruction than the Cheraw Gazette. It is the agricultural de. partment, together with the tone of moral scn< timent which pervades it, (you do not take to politics I am glad to find?party-politics J mean) that is both pleasing and profitable.? The Rice planters resident in this district are paying more attention* than formerly, to farming and the cultivation of provision crops?they have brought the cultivation of the sweet po* tatoe on a large scale, to great perfection.? Selections in your paper relating to the man. agement and breeding of stock, and on the general management of a farm, prove parti* cularly interesting and instructive to us. 1 am making an attempt to improve the coin* mon stock of cattle by introducing a cross with the improved Durham Short Horns, hav ing procured out of GenL Van Rhensaeller'e stock last summer a Bull calf of this breed which was imported at 3 months old, with the view to have him grow up, inured to the climate. It is an experiment and I feel anxious about it. At the same time I got a couple of Piga of the pure Berkshire breed, believ.. ing that aa this breed had proved worthy of all the care bestowed on it elsewhere it would be an improvement to our native stock of hogs; this also is an experiment. Our stock of sheep has been decidedly improved within the last 5 years?first by a cross with the South down and Bakewell breed from the stock of John Hare Powell, near Philadelphia, introduced by my brother ,at<3 latterly by the iutraduction of the Broad-tail sheep, imported from Asia, by Lieut. Pettigru, of the Navy. The first, generally well formed, was remarkable for breadth of chest and perfection in the brisket, (we regard the carcass chi< fly, the wool being a secondary matter) the virtue of the latter consists in its kindness to fatten and the flavor of the mutton; the wool ia coasre, and the tail is remarkably broad and thick 1 have a Ram of this breed whose tail would measure eighl inches in width. I am forgetting the object, more nearly interesting you, with which I commenced this letter : pardon iny selfishness and accept my congratulations on the institution of your agricultural society. If I were not quite so far from Cheraw I would be happy to become one of you, I have procured several new subscribers to the Gazette, but they are all Rice-pl >nten and interested in the state of the Pee Dee River, they have insisted on my first ascer^ taming from you, if it will be practicable, and agreeable to you, to give us in every number an indication of the state of the river u Che* raw* (We shall commence in our next a weekly report of the state of the river ; and if the Plan* ters geneially on the Pee Dee should become subscribers, we would issue and send to them an extra slip three times a week, giving account ol the state of tho rivor whenever the fall of rain should be such as to cause any apprehension ol a freshet* Editor.J CONTENTS OF THE American Silk Grower (or Jslf, To our Patrons Silk nt rprise at Augusta Cautiou to beginners Silk prospects in Georgia Sugar Beet Notice of the Royal and Central Society of Agriculture in Fiance Communications to be addrcssol Letter from Rocky Hill, Alabama Notice of do.

At a temperance moetmg held recently ir Hartford Ct., the following astonishing state mcnt was made: Mr. Haws remarked, that in addition to thi numerous premature deaths occasioned indirect )y by the traffic in intoxicating drinks, the citi zens of Hartford had been called, within the lasi ten years, to follow to the grave, no less thai one hundred and forty six persons, who died fron Deleriuin Tiemens, all clear and decided cases fifteen nnnnalll. Then, we say that a large proportion of then must have been "clear and decided cases" of ma] treatment by the physicians, that is, if there wa medical attendencc. Perhaps, however it wa deemed best for the public to lit them all die Gd. Ch. Gaz. crops in alabama. Extract of a letter dated Pickens County Ala., July 2d, 1889. "The Corn crops in this section of countr have been materially injured, by the drought Rain has Jallen in different directions, for th last ten days, but has been very limited in ex tent. The crops have greatly revived wher they received the first showers, but much c , what was forward, cannot possibly produ-more than half a crop. The Cotton crop i perhaps as promising as it has ever been i Alabama. The Wheat crop was uncommon ly fine?the present has perhaps exceeded an former crop by one-third." It is 6tated in the Maysville Eagle, that broad wheeled wagon of Mr. Henry Span one day last week, took a load at a commit sion house in that city, which weighed 12,18 pounds. This is supposed to have been th heaviest loaded wagon that ever left Mayi ville. ;t We learn from the Boston papers that the Fifth Auditor of the Treasury (Mr. Fleasonton) with air. Senator Davis, of Massachusetts, accompanied by the Collector of the port of Bostoi., embarked in that port a day or two ago, on board tne Revenue Cutter Hamilton, on a voyage of survey, authorized by the Government of the United States, wuh j ' a view to introducing uniforrany and other ' improvement in the lighthouses on out coast. [Nat. Intel. We understand that George M. Dallas Esq. Minister to Russia, has obtained leave to re.

The money market has another spasm, and ' stocks are on the decline. The fall in the t stock market for two days past is an indication of sales to raise casn, and the inability to obtain it on good notes in bauk. Even bank post notes of Fbiladelphia sell at 11 and 12 ' per cent, discount, and six p r cent, i reai sury notes were to day sold in the market un, der par, (99 12 per ceni.) t-.ough oearing nterest. This shows a tight money market, much pressure, and a very unsatisfactory aute of things. - . i' The holders of cotton continue to hold. If , they are to die, they are determined to die ( very hard, and at least they mean to await , their fate by the Liverpool, before they give up at all. The flour dealers also, for some cause or > other, it is difficult to detiue what, or even to , guess, so abundant are the crops, continue to hold on tor higher prices, and flour is actually on the rise. It is probable however, there are , hopes of a market abroad. The supplies here > are a so short. Again, the change of quota*, tions from old flour to new flour makes an apparent rise of price. The domestic exchanges of the country upon ' the South and Southwest grow worse, and I they are so bad it is hardly worth the whi'e to | make quotations. How long the South and .Southwest will suffer this, remains to be seen. 1 There is no union among the States now in rrn ney matters. We are under the old Con> federation. The union of trade and commerce i is nullified now. August 6.?The money market is tight," ' and "tighter," and 1 trust the "tightest" it will be tor some time to come. Two per cent. 1 a month was talked of yesterday, and in some i instances got. It is stated that the Bank of [ America has sent into market some of the hypothecated Treasury notes on which Mr. Woodbury has been raising money. The last Treasury note statement of the Secretary in. ' dicates that he has been hypothecating these i notes to a largo amount. I should like to know , what the Collector of New York does with them, when he receives them for duties. I should like to know who pockets the loss when 1 they are sold under the par of bank notes! i Are they kept floating in a circle ? Are they deoosited as money m bank, loaned out to pay duties, an i then deposited, and re-deposited ' again? If I mistak not.

The 1 Secretary of the Treasury (among other can*, r es) has been so heavy a borrower in Wall i 6treet that he has quite emptied the vaults of f some of the banks. The following curious circumstance occasioned an alarm of fire at Philadelphia on Thursday evening. Several children had been put to oea in one of the rooms of John M'Cabe's tavern, in L.ictitia Court, leaving with them a lighted candle, which a hungry rat seized and carried off, setting fire to the bedclothes in passing underneath tho bed. The children fortunately escaped uninjured, though several quilts and biankets were destroyed. TUB CHINCH BUG. A letter from Fairfield District, dated the ( 4th inst., gives the fallowing account of this new and formidable enemy of our grain crop. ' [Char. Cour. , "The Chinch Bug has done serious injury to , the provision crops in various parts of the up country, but they are not general in their atl tacks?some crops in the same neighborhood i suffering severely, while ethers remain unin j'ired, and some entire neighborhoods suffering but lulle. It is not to be concealed, however, ? that they are (comparatively) a new and formidable enemy to the farmer in nearly every section of the State. They exist in the lower country, but as yet not in numbers sufficient to do any material injury. They collect in shoals upon the stalks of 6tnall grain and corp. and exhausting the juices, injure and at last, destroy the plant. Drought is highly favorable to their propagation and growth, while the plant is of course less able, at such time, to re 1 eist their attacks." MEW INVENTIONS. 5 It is no slight evidence of the inventive spir" it of the age, that almost at the same turn*, ' three apparently equally important discoveries, in the department of the tine^arts should he 1 made in Paris, Petersburgh and Berlin. While ! Dagurre, in Pari?, found out how to produce the most accurate copies of subjects in a 1 chemical way by means of the action of lieht, while Jacobi in Petersburg!), transformed by a ' galvan c process, engravings on copper into a works in relief without destroying the form r, s an invention by means of which it is possible to multiply in a mechanical way, oil paintings ' with all their brilliancy of colours, and that with a fidelity hitherto unattainable is approaching to perfection at Berlin. The inven? tor, Jacob Leipraano, has been led by his studies of colouring, and the mixing of coiours 7 to the idea on which he has been already en'* gaged ten year*, til' he has recently been enc abled to accomplish the difficult object which * he proposed for himself, e >f INTERESTING TO RICE PLANTERS. e A sample of Maranham Rico, of which 400 s casks have lately been imported into Havana, is n left at this office for tho inspection of those con[. corned, y From a letter dated July 11th, from St. Jago de Cuba, (south side) we learn that the brig Leader had arrived at that port from Para, Brazil, a with 300 tierces rice. 3, Our planters must look tor falling prices next i- season, as the high rates ruling here is an in4 ducement for the cultivation of the article in 0 Brazil. Tho quality is said to be as good as our }. Carolina Rice, being cleaned by Thomas Napier's Mill, by a miller from this city. Ibid. FROM MEXICO. News has been received at New Orleans from the city of Mexico to the 14th ultimo, inclusive. The greatest tranquility prevailed throughout the Republic. Santa Ana was still the President adinlerxm, and, though in a precarious state of health, exercising the functions of his office with increasing applause and success. Bustamente was momentarily expected in the capital. The expedition to Tampico being crowned with sach entire success, Ins return was every where greeted with the most enthusiastic demonstrations of affection and regard. According to the Diariodel Gobierno, Santa Ana and he are to effect the most salutary reform in.the Constitution, to do away with the cause of the late disastrous disaffection, and conciliate all parties. All the Federalists who gave themselves up to the disposal of the Governm nt are to retire to their farms, and never to reside in a city, or near a fortific ation, under pain of death. Urrea was sentenced by Santa Ana to be banished for six years, but, while on his way to Vera Cruz for embarkation, he made his escape at Perote on the 30th ult. and has not have heard of since. Lcinus was chased out of Monterry by Canalzo; he and his brother fled to Monclavo.

A tornado passed through a part of Connecticut on \Vednesday afternoon, which was terrific iD i s operation. The first account we have of it is from New Haven, where, at about noon, it destroyed several buildings, part of them brick. The African church was among the buildings thrown down.

A? it left the direct line of travel at thia point we hare heard nothing of its ravages until it arrived at Cast Windsor, where it was at 4 p. m. with unabated fury, tearing aii before it. Forests and fruit treus were scattered in all directions, and buildings torn down, some of them of strong construction. ' A gentleman, who was in a stage at the lime, passing from Ellington to East Windsor, says he never saw such a torrent of rain as {loured down. Several persons were whirled into the air, aod a good many injured in various ways. A family in the upper part of New Haven had just sat down to dinnof in the j basement of a small house, when the wind struck the house aud carried it away, leaving the family and table untouched, though, we suppose, not undisturbed. Some buildings and a good deal of furniture, it is said, have gone nobody knows where. Hartford and the other places between thatcity and New Haven, on the railroad route escaped ; but we fear that the tracks of the tornado, not far oflj must have beon one -of dreadful devastation. In character it appears to have resembled th>* tornado which visited New Brunswick, N. J> a few years ago. N. Y. Jour. Com. livin6 ahead op means. As a warning on a humbler scale, we copy the following announcement; The Philadelphia Savings Institution has failed. The immediate cause of the failure is said to be an extensive issue of certificates in the form of post notes, which, as they reached maturity, the company were unable to re deem. Here the poor who had deposited their little surplus as a resource against the evil day, are made to suffer because the Directors of the Institution chose to make an "operation" beyond their resources, and borrow from next year. The deuce is, that when we borrow from next year, we think it will never come. When surefooted time brings it round, however, we find it as inexorable as tho last?the load which wehaveimprovidently thrown upon it mu6i be discharged. Borrowers are astonished to find too, that it has its own cares, necessities and expenses, quite as tnuch as it can bear, beside those which they had shifted upon it from other times, and in the attempt to conquer the multiplied difficulties, they fail ?which iike death, is a cure-all for those who can no longer hold up their heads.
