modes OF employing it, by which the

and profits Of the year. He thinks this
kind OF labor is probably as 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. cult
va.ing and ploughing the land are all
carefully detailed. His average Of yield
has been foEty-two bushels 70 the aore.

Dn. LYNcn's LECrURE.-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 man, the several
systems which compose his physical
frame, and those developments Of
thought through sensation, reflection
and tho combination Of ideas, which
pre-eminen.ly distinguish MIN above
all other animals. The powers of ab-

Other animals have intelligence, cunning
and contrivance. They posseas the

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
