A distinguished citizen of Philadelphia,
(says the Columbia South.Carolmian,) who
holds a deservedly high place in the respect
and rega-d of the people of this State,
and of the South, pays the following tribute
to the wo<th and virtues of Gen Huyne, in
a private letter to the editot, dated the 9th
inst.
"I condole with South Carolina, upon
the loss of her distinguished son Robert Y.
Hayoe. I had the pleasure of a personal
acquaintance, and of an extensive correspondence
with him, on political subjects,

FRIDAY EVENING. OCT. 20, J039.
The rain which fell a week ago, affected the
river but little.
The Semiannual meeting of the Pee
Dee Agricultural Society was h-*id in this
town dh Friday last. Although it rained all
the morning tlic ofendance was full; several
members being present from a distance
of 15, 20 aifd more m les. Tnen umber of
animals exhibited was not so groat as it
would have been had the weather been loss
unfavorable. The begining was one which
affords certain praspect that the future
exhibitions w II equal, if not surpass <>1
pist expectation. Wo regret that we were
unable to attend ourselves, but expect an
offi ial report for our columns.
Oxba ok Twin Cotton.?A friend has deposited
with us a small parcel of the seed of
this cotton for sale. It is said on good authority 1
to bear thieo ilineo as manyunwlff as the com- 1
don kind on a stalk, while it branches but lir- 1
tie and can therefore stand closer. A sample
of the cotton his also been left with us which 1
we will take pleasure in exhibiting to any who '
may wish to see it. We have shewn it to
several experienced cotton purchasers who
pronounce it a beautiful article. It is of the
cream color so much admired in cotton; the
staple is finer than that of the common variety,
but not so strong, o wing perhaps to the greater
. fineness. ? ,
We refer to the Prospectus of the Rural ,
Library under an Agricultural head. It will
be seen taat books are published in periodical
numbers, and therefore transmitted by mail at
magazine rates of postage, and that they are
furnished at about one fourth the bookstore
prices.
The Suspension.?The New York Banks
till hold out against suspension, and hope to
be able to do so. If they succeed, the New
England Banks will not suspend. The Bank
of the State of South Carolina, and Jie Bank
of Charleston also hold out. This will proba,
bly enable the banks in the interior to do so.
Holders of their bills now understand their own
interest and that of the public too well to draw
specie while bills answer their purposes as
woll or better.
The Whigs of North Corolina are holding
meetings in different counties and appointing
'delegates to a Convention to be held in Raleigh
next winter. The Administration party
have also commenced holding meetings of the
same kind, and name Wm. H. Haywood as
their candidate for Governor. The Whigs
reco umeod M. Morehead of Guilford.?
Pity that the people could oot be inspired
with something like the same zeal and activity
in the improvement of their soil and their
mind.
A destructive fire lately occurred at Vicksburg,
Mi. Like most recent fires it is ascribed
to incendiaries. Two men were seen
issuing from the building in which the fire
originated at the moment it was discovored.
Wonder if.Loco Foco matches are not ofien
the incendiaries.
The steam car ran against a cow on the
Carrolton railroad, near New Orleans, on the
12th. and the jar threw the ingineer across
the track, where he was run over and instantly
killed, A negro passenger broke his legs
by jumping out of a car.
The President after an absence of from
three to four months, spent chiefly in Pennsylvania
and New York, has returned to Wash'
?
ington.
The stock of the United States Bank, has
fluctuated, since the suspension, from 70 to 90.
It fell suddenly to 70, then rose rapidly to 90,
in Philadelphia, and 80 in New York. Efforts
have been made in certain quarters to produce
an impression that it is insolvent, it may be
by presses, which being themselves greatly
straitened, if not insolvent, were refused ac- j
commodation by it to the extent wished. It
may be insolvent, but (he public have yet no I
evidence of the fact, tho' it has certainly b^en '
hard run. Without stronger evidenc* than 1
has yet transpired, there is no reasonable i
ground for such surmises. i

October, according to an official report pub- ^

agricultural summary.
The Maine Farmer contains an abridged
report of a case in which it was decided by the
Supreme Court of that state that a person leas. "
ing a farm for agricultural purposes has not a ^
right to remove the aauure made by his cattle (
and horses j but ibat it belongs to the owner of
the land, un.ess there is a special agreement to J
the contrary. The court stated that the case ^
might be different when a livery stable was a
rented for a year or years. *
Some persons in milking leave a small quantity
in each teat for the calf; not being aware
that in this way they lose the richest of the ]
milk. For if each successive half pint of milk
drawn from the same teat of a cow be kept 1
separate, it will be found that the quantity of *
cream yielded will increase in the order in c
which the half pints have been drawn. Calves i
after the first few weeks *ill thrive upon skimmod
milk having a sprinkle of corn meal thrown |
into it; or what is better having mixed with it j
well boiled corn meal, oat meal, or barley meal, t
Preserving Apples.?Mr. O. B. King of
Waterford N. Y. packed his apples in Char. *
coal in the autumn of 1836, and overlooked ;
two in removing them. These two he found
in the summer of 1838 in a State of ffood pres- 1
eivarion (See Cultivator July, 1839) Apples <
may be kept in an ice house all spring and '
summer.
Tim* or Cutting Timber.?Benjamin
Adams in a communication to the Maine Farm- i
er, states that in December he was cutting
timber, and happen.ng to cut a rock or a sugar
maple more than he had need for, he laid it un.
der the fence. In March, when cutting his
summer's wood, he cut another tree of the
same kind and size, which he laid by the former,
where hoth lay till September. At that
time, intending to use them in making a wagon,
he hewed both, and found the one cut in
December beginning to rot, whilst the one cut
in March was still green.
| Setting Posts.?Posts last longer when
the wood is reversed from the growing position;
that is when the top is turned down ; the reason
of which is that the structure of the wood
is such that the sap ascends when it is growing
and all moisture passes in that direction
through its pores more readily than in the op
posite direction; of course when the but end
is inserted in the ground it absorbs more mois*.
ture than when ihe other end is inserted.
If posts are surrounded by fresh lime at the
time of setting they will last much the longer j
of it. It may be done by placing boards around
the post at the time of ramming the earth,
with holes a few inches above the ground. The
boards can easily be prized out by inserting
the end of a lever in these holes, and using a
block for a fulcrum, and then the vacancies
can be filled with lime.
Judge Waggaman of Louisiana states that
i1
he can make cocoons in that state double th<
size of those raised in France, and at doublt
the profit.
A farm jr in Virginia,the present season hatch
ed out some silk worms t? be attended by hii
three children, going to school. Toe childrer
gathered the leaves and fed the worms, in th<
morning before going to school, at noon wher
they returned to dinner,and in the even ng aftei
school was out. The wo. ms had no attention
except what they received from the children
in this way, and the silk made by them when
peeled was sold for $175. (See Silk Farme:
jfOet. 19th.) Where are there any three
ichool children of any farmer who earned so
nuch money at any other business, in the same
ength of time ?

and a large numbor of five and tix feet. Tho

as with the aid of a hot sun, and extraordinary
dry season, have imparted maturity and firmness
of wood. Most of the Trocs are planted in
chequers 12 feet apart, each way, covering an
area of at least twenty acres.
All, therefore interested in tho culture of Silk,
will have an opportunity of furnishing them,
selves, on the most advantageous terms. The
object of the Subscriber in offering his Trees at
this time, is to afford tho purchaser an opportunity
of seeing the Trees as they are growing, or
as they h&vo recently grown. The sale will
therefore take placo on the ground. The Troo9
will bo sold in lots to suit the hum lest purchaser,
and on such conditions as will enable tho
poor man (notwithstanding the sneers of certain
Editors among us,) to compete with the wealthy
man, wjio can bring a larger force into the field.

ready for being broken up.
I The Buildings are situated upon a highridgo
i of Sand Hills, proverbial for health, insomuch
r that the neighborhood affords a retreat for nanny

months. It was on this account, that the site
was selected for the business, (a Female Board,
ing School, t to which the buildings have been
dedicated. The water is excellent, supplied by
1 two pumps; besides which, there are two excel.
1 lent Springs.
