Mr.. CALHoUN's MANUSCRIPTS follow
ing resolutions have been adopted by the legis-
ature. They were pref;Iced with an able and
eloquent report by Mr.. Carew, chairman Of n
special joint committee, which we regret we
have no room for. South Carolina and the
South are deeply indebted to Mr.. Calhoun He
loved and served the South with ability confes-
sedly urequalled, disnteredness and devotion
unquestioned, and the legislature by the adoption
of these resolutions, could not have performed
more acceptable duty for the people. This
great and good man, with far-seeking sagacity
which has seemed like inspiration, anticipated
many Of the grievances the South has 80 often
heretofore had, and now have just cause of com.
plaint and he would have prevented them had
his warning voice of wisdom and prophecy
been needed but, Cassandra like, he was
doomed to sec the disbelief and fatal fulfllment
of his worst predictions.
Resolved, That the sum of ten thousand dol
lars be appropriated for the purpose Of stereo-
tipping and publishing the two manuscript works
of the Hon. JOHN &. CALHOUN, comprising a
treaties on government, and discourse on the
Constitution Of the United States.
Resolved, That his Excelency, the Governor,
is hereby authorized to appoint suitable editor
to contract for supcrintend the publication,
within this State, of said manuscripts; and that
said agent, after reserving for the use of the
State five hundred copies of the work, shall
place the stereotype plates and the entire pro-
ceeds of sales at the disposal of the family Of
Mr.. CALHOUN.

The growers of tobacco on the Western Shore Of
Maryland have to complain this season. The
failure of the Kentucky crop, which enters largely
into domestic consumption has caused active demand
for the common and inferior sorts OF Maryland, which
otherwise would, in all probability, have been mere

BRANDRETHS PILLS, AND THE BODY's
WASTE.-To those candid men who honestly doubt
the truth ofhe Brandrethian System, would entrea
them to ponder well upon the following facts
The food taken into the stomach is converted into
blood which vital stream flowing through all the rami-
hcatons of the SYSTEM not only imparts strength and
connuaes life, but actually creates forms and builds up
each and every part of the animal machine. If the
blood therefore is pure and healthy the body which is
formed and supported by the blood cannot be diseased
But there be in any part OF the body any Affection such
bile ulcer even bruse, the blood circulating
through that part takes up impure matters from the local
affection and carries it into the general SYSTEM This
is the often Of sudden death persons Of full hab
it, afflicted with bes, and who use no medicine
the matter gets into the circulating system and chokes
up the fine blood vessels which supply the brain with
vitality, and life ceases as if bere by lightning Now
this can be emedied-the Brandreth Pills will if used
at these times take out all impure matters from the cir
cuation, and the general health at the same time
they are curing the local affections
Oh how important it is to find that this subject
be well comprehended it would save many from tedi-
times OF sickness, and often secure their services
to their friends, when otherwise the tomb would have
its victim

by the friends of these schemes than such connections

single element of calculation will show the impor-
| lance to of such connection
! The transportation of50O00 passengers alone per
annum, over the Is miles OF travelled distance which
would be gained by our Road, by connection at the
upper point, over that lower down, would at fifty cents
passenger, yield the sum OF 900 dollars. This
ken in connection with the fact of extremely favour
able character for a Railway as demonstrated by
surveys and that the distance from either Richmond

short distance as by any other route would to
forbid the idea that any other route could for moment
| be entertained.
If we shall lay the heavy rail up to this point ofd
vergence my opinion is that shall demonstrate
the value and Importance OF such connection that it will
give us the strongest guarantee towards insurng it..
1t will enable us to make such rapid and easy connec
tons between Richmond and Lynchburg as to secure
! the entire travel between these points
In my opinion, the adoption Of the act Of assembly
will insure the completion Of the Road to Danville it
will put us in possession OF sufficient iron and timber

its purposes and establish itself in public favor

/ which may be required will be taken.
In conclusion, beg leave most respectfully to suggest
to the stockholders that in my opinion is requiring
much of Drecors-men of oh aracter and business to
sacrifice their time and interest at home to attend the
meetings OF the Directors at great distance and in
convenience to themselves, in discharge Of their duties
with the responsibility attaching to their position with

done without compensation, requiring rather too
much. fair compensation should be allowed, and not

FLOUR IN THE WEST.

The following article from the ST. Louis Republican
will be read with interest by the trade:
Much anxiety is felt by parties interested to ascertain
the probable aud were it possible the exact number
bbs of flour be received in this city from the upper
country between and next harvest known that
receipts will be unusually light, and it is thought by
many that the article will advance to very high price
We inclined ourselves to favor the opinion, ON the
fact that the arrivals OF wheat, Notwithstanding pre-
sent high prices, were never known light at this
season tor years, showing very concIusvey that the
grain is not in the country. The receipts OF flour
too, are much less than anticipated and from all the
information to be gathered, it may be considered set
tied that the quantity OF both now in the country and
10 come forward will scarcely keep pace with the
home consumption and demand. As conclusive evil
dence of this assertion, we are told by one Of the
heaviest dealers in this city, and who has the con-
troll and sale OF flour manufactured by tt1elce mills
the Illinois and Upper Mississippi that very recent ad-
vices from all state that they have not barrel to send
forward Some have neither wheat nor flour on and
and only few have supply sufficient at present to
meet the demands OF their home trade 1t estimated
that from thirty five to forty mills, situated the upper
rivers, in Missouri Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin, de-
pend upon this market for the sale of their flour,
and OF this large number, very few perhaps not
coed five or six are now sending any thing forward -

The New York Post of Tuesday afternoon has the
following article
Wheat-It appears from our last advces, that the
stocks OF Wheat in London and Liverpool, are much
lower than they have been for years The stocks
IN London are not more than third, and those in
lyerpoonot more than one half Of what they were in
the spring of lS49
In other out ports and throughout the country, the
stocks IN the hands of dealers and miers are much
below the usual size
In the hands OF farmers the stocks very considerably
Small and nampered farmers have none but where the
farmers better supplied with capital and means the
stocks OF Wheat are considerable perhaps fourth more
