THE DISTRESS IN SOUTH CARoLINA.-We
are much gratifed to learn from Southern paper,
that the apprehended distress in South Carolina,
from the failure of the corn crop in some sections,
has been greatly exaggerated. The extent of this
failure is not great was feared, and corn was
poured into the State from other sections Of the
country freely, that it is selling at very reasona-
BILE rates in Charleston. A committee appointed
by Convention in Anderson District, to take
measures to procure bread stuffs, &c., has reported
against any application to the Legislature for relief
as inexpedient and unnecessary. The committee
rely conidentally upon the abundant supplies Of
other States, and upon the active benevolence Of
such Associations as have already been formed for
the importation of corn, and Its distribution al
prime cost to those who need.-C Courier.

FOREl GIN N E VS..
rrivol of The Steamship Hibernia.
SEVEN DAYS LATER.

The New York Morning News says:
The steamship Hibernla arrived at
Boston on Sunday morning, bringing
seven days later news from Europe,
with one hundred passengers and max
ing her passage in fifteen days. She
sailed from Liverpool on the 4th inst.
PnospEcrs OF THE HAKvEsT.- The
reports which have reached US since
our last, respecting the progress made
with the harvest IN the north, are not
of character to allay the excitement
previously felt on the subject. 1t is
foared-and not without reason-that
the more back ward parts of the king
dom may fare even worse than the
south.
By our Scotch advices, we learn
that the harvest operations, which had
been interrupted by the heavy rain
that fell between the 10Th and 22d, had
again been actively resumed.
From Ireland the complaints in re-
gard to this matter are, no wever, be-
coming general; even along the West
coast, where the crop was previously
stated to have escaped injury, the root
has, it is stated, been discovered to
have been attacked. On the whole
we are disposed to think that the har.
vest will turn out better in Ireland
than in this side of the channel. The
rise in. the English markets had had
the effect Of causing an advance in the
value of both wheat and oats.

result; and the proof of it is, that no
Mexican troops have as yet moved to-
wards this frontier."
The Mexicans are said to be exciting
the slaves in Texas to revolt, and are
engaged in kidnapping them.

Mr.. Terrell, late Texan Minister to

the day would soon come when Texas
would regret her political fate.

general condition Of the country pros

recreation and leisure which are indispensable to
a decent degree of mental culture and the proper

too great to be effectuay resisted by those whose
only resource is the labor Of their hands. They

their operatives as part of their machinery, to be
managed in the manner which will bring the grea
test profit They will work them as many hours,
and reduce their wages as low possible, be the
tariff high or low, and their own profits fifty per
cent or but five. If the tax which the people are
paying to the manufacturing capitalists increased
the profits of their operatives, we should regard
the tariff with little more complacency.

THE RIGHT OF SUcCEssION.-The Circuit
Court of the United States for Tennessee, Judge
Catron presiding, has recently made decision of
much interest relative to the inheritance of real
estate. A woman owning land had daughter,
who came into possession of the land on her moth
er's death. Her father married again and had a
daughter by his second wife The daughter ofthe
first wife died, and the land was claimed, as heir
to her, by her half sister, the daughter by the sec
ond wife, and also by her cousin, the nephew of
the first wife, The decision was that the half sis
Ter inherited, to the exclusion OF the nephew. Or
to state the decision more generally, it was held
that when lands come by descent, brother or
sister OF the half blood though not of the blood of
the acquiring ANCESTOR is to be preferred heir to
more removed collateral relations, although the
latter may be of the blood of the acquiring ances-
tor. This is directly contrary 10 the English rule
OF descent as laid down In Blackstone, collateral
knsmen Of the whole blood being there preferred to
a brother or sister of the hall blood

A farmer lately turned his sheep into a lot occu-
pied by some cherry trees, which had sent up
shoots from the roots; the consequence was that
the sheep partook of the leaves of these shoots and
were soon seen staggering about the lot and tum-
bling upon their heads. Many of them died. when
their stomachs were found to contain large guam
titles of these leaves, which, all know, abound
with prussic acid, fatal alike to man and animals.
1t should be known too, that the stones and twgs,
as well as the leaves Of the peach, also contain

The recent Improvement in the manufacture OF
SALT discovered at Syracuse is attracting much at
tention among scientific men, as well as others.
The process is simple that all wonder why 1t has
not been thought OF before. AS it may lead to
other useful applications of the principle, and 40
the majority of our readers may not have noticed
it, we briefly state that the brine of saline spngs
contains from 70 to 100 per cent of salt, but less
thar the necessary quantity for saturing it, soper
cent of salt is therefore, added TO it, when the i'm
purities consisting of some 30 per cent, float upon
the surface, and the 100 per cent, including, OF
course, the 80 per cent added sinks to the bottom,
and is drawn off, and the water evaporated As
there are now about 20 900 900 of bushels of salt
made at the Salina Spring, the amount will proba-
bly, be more than doubled by this process, since
about onethird more is made by it than by the old
process
