 J,dge .MeLean.-The Washington correspon. oent of the United States Gazette says that cir cumstance worthy of note occurred iu the Senate. on Saturday last. MT. McDufie was speaking upon the postage bill, and of the immense patronage that already belonged to the Post Office Department. when he took occasion to pass a very high eelogi- um upon Judge Mclean --whose ability, as a pub nc officer, he declared to be nnsurpassed-and whom he pronounced one ofthe rupest men that had ever filled public station. Judge Mclean happened then, by mere chance, to be sitting up- on one of the sofas in the lobby, unseen by Mr. Mc Dufhe. HeaPing himself thus eulogized, his face cIlmsoned, and he looked extremely embarrassed. lhlnkmgs however, ppobably, that this strain would cease with few complimentary expressions. he remained in his seat; but Mir. McD. continued It, even m warmer language, the Judge was fairly put to flight, and made rapid retreat out at a pri vate door, under heavy fire of deserved praise.

Cotton has been 10 South Carolina what the mines of Mexico were to Spain, It has produced us such an abundant supply of ali the inxuries and elegances of 1ife with 50 little exeftion on our part, that we have become enerva- tea and unitted for other and more abori ,us pur- suits, and unprepafed to meet the state of things which sooner or later must come about. It is out o place here to predict that the day is not far dis. tant, yea, IS close at hand when we shall find that we can no longer live by that which has heretofore yielded us not only bountifal and sumpfaous liy. ng at home but has furnished the means for carry. ing thousands and tens of thousands of our citizens abroad to squander their gold in other counties that we have wasted the fruits of ricR, virgin soil, in ease and luxury--that those who have practised sufficient industry and economy to accr,- nulate capital, have Jeff. or arc ayfng s. fo pop uiate other States HAsrY MARRIAGE.-A Boston corresnon. dent of the Charleston Courier, in letter, says who had attracted some notice by his free living for some time past at of crack hotels, yes- terflay married pretty, but poor girl, whom t s said he had not known more than day or two'-%- According to o'r laws, parties intending marriage bS;dn Ss nnhhd ansl penaa99 a mks So5o.

 Calves scits Sheep-We have often recommen- ded the keeping of calves with sheeps as we have found it an excellent plan, and highly approved of by others who have tried it. In this way there is less trouble and the calves keep in fine condition upon the coarse part of the fodder which the sheep | leaves. In such cases, calves are never afflicted with vermins and if any are on them before, they I will soon disappear after the calves are among | sheep. Sheep are usually provided with a good warmest part of it in cold weather. Ihis plan will not do for those who keep sheep without wa ter in yinter unless the calves have extra attention in this respect.
