The PLOUGH, THE LOOM, AND THE ANvn.-We
are glad to see by the April number that this valu-
able publication is to be continued. The untimely
and lamented death of its distinguished proprietor,
the late JohS s. SKINNER, Esq., feared would pro-
duce the disconnuance of the work and therefore
reced find that such is the case and that the journal
will be continued without interruption.
Mr.. SKINNER devoted many years of his life to the cd
vsncemen Of the agricultural interests, and bet
qualified to comprehend and promote them His aduous
abors however much they may have benefited Others added
little or nothing to his personal fortune The Plough,
the LOOM and the Anvil had began give promise of ture
remuneration, when Mr. SKINNER suddenly called to
another world Under such circumstances hope that the
fruits which be expected gather from his exertons will not
be entirely his family but that the patrons Of his work
will continue sustain it, and thus give substantial evidence
of their respect the deceased is still continued under
his name at No. 70 Walnut street, Philadelphia, where
ttances and ORDERS addressed to the Plough, LOOM and
Anvil, will be promptly attended to.--Bak Clipper.

The Columbia South Caroinian, which pub
fishes the summary of Judge Buffers speech,
has a leader under the head of 6 wavering," in
which it remarks upon the most unaccountable =
fact that
So many Of the leaders, those who have been
garded SO, occasionally manifest symptoms Of unsteaes
rather Of being quadary to the action the State
should take Eoquence almost exhausted in depicting the
rongsaye, the wrongs that the people of this State in
with their eowcitizens have suffered from federal
abolition legislation but when redress spoken Of eloquence
becomes mute, at most degeneates into the language Of
hesitaneyand uncertainty"
This looks very much as if there will be two
parties formed of the Secessionsts in South Caro-
lima, to be ranged under Senators RHETT and Bur-
LER, respectively-the one, the runmad disunion-
lists, who are for hurying instant secession; the
other the more prudent and sagacious secessonists,
who, while prepared for Southern Confederacy,
can see nothing but folly and mischief in separate
State action by South Carolina. Unless we much
mistake the signs of the times, the latter will be
large party, under the auspices of Senator BUTLER,
whose fine talents, high character, and great infu
ence will make themselves felt through the State.
We had previously heard, from very high authori-
ty, that Senator Butler averse to the separate
secession of South Carolina. The revelations at
Edgefeld squint somewhat at such consumma-
tion. May we be correct in our speculations, and
may Senator Butler win the honor of having di-
verted his beloved State from the brink of madness,

RoBBING THE TREAsugq.--A most singular sale
took place The other day a. fhe New York Custom
house of thirty rwo packages of unclaimed bonded
goods set up by the auctopeer in lo' supposed,
as he said, to contain liglr-house. This being
the only intimation bidders had Of The contents, Of
fe-s were dull, and The lot was knocked down at
five hundred dollars to a German OF the name OF
Stephen Lutz. 1t has since been discovered to be
a Fresnel light of the first order, which was con-
struc,ed in Paris by order of the United States
Government, at Q cost of seventy thousand francs
1t is a most singular circumstance that after the
goods had been sold by the custom officers. they
took notion to ace TO whom they were originally
consigned and 10 it was then discovered that these
thir,y.two cases OF strange looking materials Were
the property of The United States, and consigned
to Mr.. Bache, Chief Of the United States Coast
Survey; and that they had cost the Government
upwards of thirty thousand dollars. Having been
cold and bought in good faith, there was no help
fol Uncle Sans purse. 1t is strongly suspected,
and so stated by some of the city papers, that the
transaction was the result of a combination be-
tween set of harpies and swindlers, who mus,
have been in some degree cognizant of the value
of The contents of the packages.
Suit is about TO be commenced by the maker OF
the lighthouse for its restoration. The name OF
the plaintiff is that of philosophical apparatus
maker, resident at Paris. He is in the employ OF
