employment and management Of freed
negro labor. He condemns tho various
nudes OF employing it, by which the
laborer is made o co,partn-r iu the risks
and profits Of the year. He thinks this
kind of labor is probably, rs docile as
any other agricultural labor OF which we
have an account, and undoubtedly the
best for the special work of the cotton
plantation. We notice, also. an essay
on rice culture on the Wateree, by
George T. Wickes. Esq, OF this County.
His methods of clearing, draining, culti-
vating and ploughipg the land are al
carefully detailed. His average Of yield
has been forsy-two bushels 70 The aore.

Dr. LYNcH's LECTURE.-In his lecture
at the University Chapel, Wednesday
evening, DR.. Lynch presented in clear
and distinct light, to small but atten.
tive and interested audience, The ana
tomical structure CT map, the several
systems which compose his physical
frame, and those developments OF
thought through sensation, reflection
and tho combination Of ideas, which
pre-eminently distinguish him above
all other animals. The powers of alb
straotion were pointed to as differencing
him from tie beasts that perish, and as
allied with the great faculties Of faith ia
God, in the profession or calling which
he has assumed, and in his own powers,
and with tho necessary sense of compe-
tent authority on which to rest, which
raise him in tho scale OF creation, and
show the Immortality Of his being.
Other animals have intelligence. cunning
and contrivanoe. They posseas the
simple ideaa which concern life, it's sup
port. enjoyment apd preservation, bnt
only man is capable Of high reason. In
a concluding address to the medical
class. he enforced the responsibility
which such faculties imposed upon them,
and gave an earnest, practical and per-
sonal application Of his theme: 1.-THE
necessity OF faith in thestudy Of SCIENCE"
TIE BOND CASE IN THE SUPREME
CoUk1. The return OF the Comptroller
General will be made to-day in the Su-
preme Court. to the petition OF Messrs.
Morton, Bliss g. Co. for writ OF manda.
mus. to compel that officer to levy tax
for the payment Of interest upon certain
bonds which they hold. Able counsel
has been retained upon both sides, and
| the case is one whose Importance will not
be measured by the amount involved in
the present suit, or by the mere interests
Of the claimants. The long wished for
Opportunity is presented to determine
the valid bond debt of the State. This
is desirable in the interests of the State
and of it's creditors, and particularly in
tho interests and for the satisfaction Of
the people, who are concerned in The
payment OF what is just and lawful, and
in throwing overheard what is spurious
and fraudulent. The administration in
power is pledged to sift and separate
them. They have promised to pay none,
or the interest on none OF the outstand-
ing bonds to which shadow of suspicion
can attach. II they exert themselves to
redeem this promise, and the court be
favorable to consideration OF the VII ole
question, we shall have the bond frauds
unearthed, and the mode exposed BY
which the debt Of 100000 as report.
