FRIDAY EVEXINtt, AUGUST 13, 1852. THO. J. WARREN, Editor. 1 IVinter8 Convention. We see that several of our exchanges are in favor of i . ' hoi-ling a Convention of the members of the Press oi i South Carolina. We Uo not Know what specific object ' our 1 ?r:.-i hron haw in view. l?ut as the surest ion scorns ! to lie a reasonable one. and some rood niijrlit result j therefrom. wo shall take pleasure in mcetinjr with our i co-laborers at sudi a time as may he hen-after deter* 1 mined upon. T!ie time intimated by t'10 Carolinian j will suit us, and we hope that the first Wednesday in licfemhi r next will he considered the time at which j the meoiiuir will he held. Although this may Ik? styled J a S'-ll'-'on-uitutod Convention, t'ct. we opine unworthy . motives will not be attributed to its meiiih rs. for we are ipiiie sure our deliberations will not contemplate in the .-'Elites' decree, any action, by wbi<-h the eonimouwcal'Ii will sutler detriment. On the contrary, we hope tin- 1'pvs of Soutli-Carolina will continue as it 0 should' the yuardian "1 the people's liberty?not; an instrument fi r party purposes, or unworthy its appellation as the great fulcrum and lever of the moral ; _ | world. v' i "lie Legislature. 1 The T.< ei-lat't" of a rhate.-houhl always Ik-a correct V rejre.- iitati?n of t!i-*? views and sentiments of the pen* pie. It appears, however, in the history of South C'a- ' rolinn. that its I. -.ds'ature has not always bo n a tor* " r< ' ! criterion hy which to judge ofitlic will of the s were ign people. It i? il!t?ii*nit in ;il 1 thines to know what that willis; for unless there is more attention paid to their eduoa- j , tional wants, and the masses are proper!}* instructed, i and taught to think and net for themselves, they will 1 , have no particular will of their own, nor manifest any i ' concern or preference for any thin?. We lane lately j ' ; heard a good idea advanced, which we think so well j t ' of. that we (at least so far as we are concerned) are ' j i disposed to immortalize :t. The idea is this: The State ' < slioiiltl make ample provision for t!.e ed m.- ?' n < f th" : |. poor, and make it an indictahle ofi'enee where the pa- | : rent refuses to give the child the benefit of the mentis ' iprovi<!eil hv the State for its education, j. ' We h'lieve in no other way. can our Legislature | ., he made to reflect the will and the sentiments of an ' , iutciliceiit and happy people, than hy providing ample j : means lor '.he education of the poor. Good News. 0 A friend writing us front* Cluster Idstrict, says:? 1 , "The crops are very fine, (esp* chilly the corn crops.) | mid 1 have just returned from a tour in North Carolina, | having travelled over seven or eight counties, and I j hav never seen mu.Ii crops growing." This is truly i good news, and we earnestly hope the high expectu j 1 lions of our farmers in this section sis well as of those ] , abroad, may not be c ut ell". 1 j Congress. d Tuesday, the 31st inst. lias been fixed upon by both ' houses of Congress as the day of adjournment.

Rosin is the residuum after distillation. Tar is made from the knots of the tree, or from those parts which contain the greatest quantity of gum. The wood is cut | into small pieces, piled up in a conical form and covered with earth, and then tired at the base. A barrel, sunk into the ground reeeives tlio tar as it runs from I the bottom of the kiln, which is made hard and smooth 1 and slightly concaved. Tar may he made on a small scale, by inverting an , iron pot over a pile of light-wood, split small, and ig- 1 tilled. The above named articles are extensively used in the arts. The lumber made from the pine is mostly , r.itied down tiio streams to market; some is sent on Railroads. Piank roads would in some parts of the country be a groat advantage to lumbermen, who could with their own teams haul their lumber to market at a heap rare. .Steam mills might he erected, where the ;iine was plenty, and ne?t too far from market, and piank roads buil: t n which the lumber could be trans* 1 I pm tcd at comparatively a small cost. All persons engaged in the conversion of the pine into a condition ; for use, usually find tlie business profitable. * * Tiik Hiutisii Ministry.?The Derby ministry, says the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun. is fully sustained bv the elections and confirmed in tlicir ! iwcr.
