THE iMINERS’ AND FARMERS’ JOURNAL. Fnm the Mational IntrUigrncrr. Tlic Winyaw (S. C.) Intelligenccr in vites us to a discimon of a thing that is un intelligible and imp)!«^iWe, viz; Cofutitu- tUmil yuUifimtion. As all argument would be thrown away upon tluj-oe who once maintain the d.Ktrine, at least uiitil they ure providentiailv restortni to their senses, we should decline the challenfte of our Win- vaw friend altogether, were it not for the courtesy which is due to a civil and well- behaved opponent. We sliali bestow, how- ever, but a brief consideration ujwn it. The disunction between a law and an act will not avail hiui. Admitting resis- tance to a law to be a revolutionary meas ure, resistance to au act ot Congress, eaid act having been declared unconstitutional by any one State of the Union, he con'feid- ere to be a very diflerent matter. I'hey are just one and flio same, we assure him, to wliatever other conclusion he may have dn^am«»d himself. “Th« judicial power oi the United States,” saith the Constitution, “shall extend to all casts arising under this Constitution, the Latrs of the United From ihc Cartilin* Ob?irvcr.

But I forbear. It strikes me, whilst acknowledging the kindne;^ of distiuit strangers, that we h:xve far stronger claims upon the Legislature of our own State—unless the fell bwoop of destruction upon a civilized ronnminity is to be regarded aa the sullurings of nn un protected and wandering horde of Barbari States,” A:c.—and, further. “This Con-ians!

It would rescue them from the toilsome and ex})ensi\c necessity of sending one or two men and four horses with a dozen barrels of flour or bales of cot ton to market (to be absent a week or two, perhaps,) and enable them, with one horse to bring speedily and pkasantly, two huii' dred barrels of Hour, or tlie produce of a whole neighborhood, and return with load^ of articles t'rom which the expenses of trans portation have in instances hitherto debar red them.

Are our Legis lators content that North Carolina should continue to be formed, as it now is, of com rnunities, contiguous inleed, but estranged, with no State pride—no feelings of fellow- ship? Are our honest Farmers to tra«le with South Carolina and Vir^jinia, to barter perhaps, with one their fwtriotit^m for nul lification, and to import from Virginia the non^nse about State Ri^htg. It is not my purpose to dispute the just and well established doctrine of political e. conomy, that the freer the trade and the more numerous the markets, the better for the fanner. But whilst I Ptill left all the channels of trade open to his selection, I would pare the way to one more conven. ient, equally inviting, and within his own State.

A corresfiondencc of a private nature, be tween .Me.sra. Kuton and Ingham, appears in the Telegraph of last evening. It is to be regretted tliat circui;istances sonietiiiies occur in the private relations of life which make such appeals iieccstKiry. Thu merits of this controversy, like all others of a pri vate nature, we shall leave to the decision of tlie public, without any coiiuneut from us. VVe are, however, reqiK'stcd to state, that the account given in the Telegraph of a collection of pcr.-Miiis in the Treasury De- IHirtinont, with the view of making a per- sfjnal attack on .Mr. Ingliam, la utterly des titute of foundation. We are further requested to state, that .Major Eaton did, without any attendant whatever, seek a meeting with -Mr. Ingham, having first sent him wonl of his intention; in which he fiiiled, siiu{>ly because the r)b- jcct could not b«' cflected without violating tlie sanrtity of a private dwelling. From the Raleigh Rfguttr. Destruction if the Capitol.—In aiuioun cing this melancholy catastrophe in our la.st, we omitted in the hurry of tho moment, several particulars which may be deemed not uninteresting. The opiuion then expressed, as to the or igin of the fire, is still entertained, though there i.i some doubt whether it was commu nicated by a spark from the buniing shin gles which were proved to have lieen ear ned upon the roof that nioriiing, or was caused by the pot a«d lor preparing the solder, having become so heated as to melt the Zinc, aiwl thereby ignite the wooden sheeting with which the top of the house was covered. I’rom one oftliese causes it must have proceeded. The building was entirely consumed in about two hours from the period at vthich the alarm was given. The walls were left .standing, but a part of them has since tumbleil «lowii. I ndeed such .seems to have been their original precari ous construction, that many l*eli. ve, had not the Capitol b“cn burnt, they would at no distant day have given way, (roin the pres sure of their ow n weight, and (>erhaps have involved a serious loss of human life in their fall. Since the fire, efforts hove been made, and with succe.ss, to exhume the fragments of the Statue, which were broken off by the falling timbers and ljuried beneuth the ru ins. We are pleased to add, that the head has been recovered, having received but slight injury; ahso one arm and one leg are nearly perfect. 'I’he remaining portion of the Statue exhibits however such a tenden cy to crumble, that we fear its disjecta mm- bra can never again lie made to adhere. Nothing was saved from the Libiary, nor could any attempt for tliat purpos*' be made, by reason of the siitfucating smoke w hich filled tho room.. It was in its infancy, and the Ifisacan easily be repaired, with ow or two exreptioiiR. VVe allude to the collec- timof our old Legislative Journals, brought down in almost unbroken succestiion from the year 171.'), to the present day. Law son’s History of the State, valuable only however for its antiquity, was also burnt. Tliis is a ver> thin quarto, which was pur. chased by the State at the sale of a private libniry, a few yimrs since f^jr 870. Our piibli'; pnrtic'alurly th? S"- cretary of State and Comptroller, have an Herculean task to perform in reducing to order the chaotic confusion into which their pa|>ers have been thrown. The documents belonging to the Clerks of the two Houses and some of the Comptroller’s pa|)ers arc mixed with those of the Secretary of Stale; the attempt therefore, to hunt up at present any particular record would be nearly as hopeless a task, as to look for a needle in a hay-staek. Upon a review of all tlie circumstances connected with this unfortunate affair, it is no more than an act of justice in us to say, that 80 far as we have had an oppoitunity of consulting |>ublic opinion, the syni(Mithy of the community is strongly enlisted la iK'half of the enterprising contractor, Mr. BKA4iO. The entire work would have been finished the day af\er the accident happen ed, and his contract have been fully com plied with. Indeed, he had done all that was his peculiar province to siiperiiiteud, ten days before, and was only waiting to have the zinc nails soldered to give up tlie work to the Commissioners. Such a desi re has been discovered aniongM the numerous individuals who have vwtted the ruins, to obtain pieces of the Statue for preservation, that it has been found neces sary to enclo.se it, so as to prevent furtlier mutilation. Vnioerrity of yorth.Carolina.—It af- fords us much gratification to state, that the reccnt CommenctmenI of this Iiiatitution was numerously attended, and that the ICx- ercises were sustained to the sati.'^factiou of the Trustees and Visitors.

Those who arc acquainted with this gentlemnn, and w ho know how much his mind and heart are occupied with one engrossing suhject, would have conjectun-d beforehand, that an Oration from him would have some connex ion with Iteligion.
