PROFESSOR SnLIMAN REBUKED.-A writer in
the Charleston Mercury, in letter addressed
to Professor Silliman, Of Yale College, admin
listers justly deserved rebuke upon that dis
tiDguished savan, for bis folly and stupidity as
exhibited at the late New Haven meeting
in behalf Of a collection of rifles for the
abolition disturbers Of the peace of Kansas
Had the learned Professor issued circular
positively declaring that Yale College hence
forth would be closed to students from the
South, it would scarcely have placed him in
more damaging and ridiculous position than
his silly, fanatical speech, and his subscription
of rife at that New Haven meeting. Never
did man of science make more absurd expo
rimsnt In The chemistry Of faDsticism.

INJUNCTIONS.-It is time something should be
done by the Legislature to settle or to restrain
the power of the Judges to grant injunctions
As the law now stands, or rather, to speak
more correctly, as it is interpreted by the
Judges, they seem to possess the power Of stop
ping any work OF impeding the fulflment Of
any contract, by mere Injunction, based on
no inquiry into the merits of the case. When
the Mayor is forced by the necessity Of the
city and the clamor Of the people to call for pro-
posals for cleaning Broadway, and award the
work to contractor, up starts gentleman
with bushel oflaw texts, who gets an injunction
against the Mayor and Comptroller and every
one else, forbiddding them to pay the man
who cleaned the streets, or to have any thiug
to do with him. No doubt, when the matter is
inquired into, it will appear that all WAS
rightly done; but in the meantime, grevious
delay is caused, and injury inflicted On
the other hand, some one obtained an injunc-
ton against MIR. Ebling, forbidding Mr.. Flagg
paying any bills Of the Street Commissioner,
Hence, if ne clean the streets at all, he is
compelled to 60 on the credit system
for work performed. 1t is we'll under
stood that the usual object Of an iDjunc-
ton is to obtain delay; that when tie
party enjoined is ready, and comes into court,
the case is sure to be put of from day to day
and from week to week, until the applicant for
the Injunction has obtained his ends, whatever
they are; whereupon, he pays the costs, and all
is said. There is something wrong here
In q case we mentioned the other day, the
Staten Island Ferry Company having held
possession of the slip at the foot of Whitehall
street for ten months, without any lease from
the city, prevented the Comptroller selling
the lease by an injunction. This Injunction
was granted upon an affidavit, in which it~was
stated that the boats Of the company Gnslad-
ing the ever-sinking Columbus) were excel
lent safe and suitable; that they had run re-
gularly, and that the company had built ferry
houses at the ferry landings. Now, every .oae
VINO ever visits this ferry knows how untrue all
this is. The company knows it too, and does
not intend to try to prove it is not. But by
the aid of the injunction it will obtain several
weeks delay.
Either the law should prohibit the granting
Of iDjunctions on ex parte evidence, except in
few very rare and exceptional cases, or else
the Judges should use the great power they
possess with the utmost discretion.

AGRICULTuRAI-FOREIoN SEEDs.-We pub
lish this morning an interesting letter from
the Patent Office to the Congressional Commit
tee On Agriculture, briefly reviewing what has
been done in the way of naturalizing foreiga
herbs and plants in the United States. Every
body knows that some years ago, on the repre-
sentation of the Patent Office, Instructions
were sent to our representatives abroad, and to
the naval officers on foreign stations, to collect
seeds and bulbs and cuttings of foreign growth,
and to send them home for trial here. The
plan has been in operation but short while,
and the appropriations made for it have been
small; but the results as given in Mr.. Browns
report, are already very gratifying. Most far
mers are acquainted with the Mediterranean
wheat" which ripens in great abundance, ear
lier than our common varieties; few years
ago it was unknown here. From France We
have obtained two Chinese plants, which the
enterprise of French agriculturists domiciliat
ed sometime since on French soil-the Chi
nese yam"-a very fair substitute for the po-
tato, and the "Chinese sugar cane," one acre
of which produces twenty five tons of fodder
of the most nutritious and excellent kind.
Another good forage crop has been obtained
from the "chufa," plant of Spanish origin;
and yet q third from the Moha de Hongrie. from
France. Cuttings of foreign plum trees have
been imported in large quantities, and engraft-
ed upon the common plum with such success
that we may shortly expect to produce all our
own dried prunes. 1t is now proposed to i'm
port more largely than heretofore, in fact, to
obtain from abroad every plant, herb or tree
which has been cultivated successfully any
where. For this, larger appropriations than
usual will be necessary. That Congress ought
to grant them there can be no question.

HENRY CLAY'S son ON THE CHARGE OF

In the course of the late speech of James B. Clay,

him upon the testimony of the very person whom
he is said 10 have wronged and slandered; and
however little partisan editors and partisan orators
NAV esteem the evidence OF my father himself,
il IS abundantly euiicient for me, his son. The
charge ot bargain and intrigue WAS hrst made ny Mt.
Krener. in An anonymous letter. subsequently re'trra'
ted by Carter Beverley, in his celebrated Fayetteville
letter, and finally asserted by General jackson, who
assumed the responsibility Of it, and TO prove its
truth summoned Mr. Buchanan before the public as
his only witness. Mr.. Buchanan promptly responded
to the call for his testimony. Did ne sustain MT.
Kramer. Carter Beverley, and General Jackson-the
Last of whom had summoned him On the contrary,
hs evidence was clear and distinct, and fully excn
pated Mr.. Clay from the charges made against him.

accused testified publicly and privately that he con-
sider.a Mr. Buchanan had done him NO wrong"
After quoting from his fathers public and private
letters, Mr.. Clay procccded'
Thus, fellow citizens, we have the private and
public opinon Of my father respecting the testimony
of Mr. Buchanan upon the charge of bargain and in

SUPERVISORS,
THE WAY THEY ELECT FILLMORE.

Mr.. Flournoy in his speech at the African Church,
in Richmond, on Friday night last, the conclusion
Of one of his curs sai, "if were now to call upon
this vast assemblase, 10 the man who is to re-
store this country TO its former state of prosperity and
peace, THREE THOUSAND VOICES in this house rould
eselain, as r'h tie roics of man, MILLARp FILL
MORE"
Now let it be understood that at this period Of Mr..
Flournoys speech there were not more thpn eight
hundred persons in the house, upon the most liberal
estimate, and amongst these there a very large
sprinkling of Democrats If this be the way in
which Mr. Fllmores friends generally calculate his
chances, need not be surprised at the declaration
80 frequently made by tiem that the contest is be-
tween Fillmore and Fremont. We incline to the
opinion thar friend who sat near US very clearly hit
the mark when he said, soto rorc, in reply to Mr..
Fiournoy, ''as sis hundred to three housaad,
are Mr. FI!lmors's chances Of success against Nr.

A FAILURE.

The Buford expedition to Kansas has proved an
entire failure. Mobilian writes from Franklin, X.
T., under date Of July 9th, giving dolefu picture Of
the career of the band he says that Of the 800 who
accompanied Buford not more than fifty remain in
the territory. OF those who returned the correspon
dent .ays:
THE men on whom the South relied to vindicate
her rights and for whose support liberal subscriptions
were made, the men whom the Mssouriaus welcomed
with outspread arms and open purse. have proved
false Just at the time when they should have stood
ready to do or die for Southern rights.
Having seen Kansas, having spent their money in
dissipation, when the time for work and enduring
hardships came they struck for home to dsparage
the country, to denounce Col. Buford, and what 10
worse to desert and leave unprotected the rights of
the South. In short they will do and say anything to
save themselves from that contempt aud indignation
with which they should be received by their old
neighbor, and friends"
