The Legislature of this State adjourned on Monday night last, after a session of 8a days. Acts have been passed laying oil the Congressional and Senatorial Districts and apportioning the members of the House of Commons and we refer our readers, for a synopsis of those acts, to another column of to-day's paper. No Senator was elected. This is to be regretted, but, under the circumstances, the failure to elect is deemed unavoidable. The Democratic party, it was thought, had a majority on joint ballot; but events have shown that this majority, if indeed it existed, was not available. We do not propose to-day, in the bustle and excite ment incident to the adjournment, to go fully into this matter; but we may say that the Democratic nominee, the Hon. James C. Dobbin, can have nothing to re gret so far as his own conduct is concern ed. He has borne himself throughout the whole crisis in a manner which has com manded the respect of his political oppo nente, and at the same time endeared him still more to his friends. By the Constitution of the State it is made the duty of the General Assembly, at its first session after the year 1851,'' to lay off the Senatorial Districts, and ap portion the members of the House of Com mons. The Constitution is imperative on this point it says this "shall" be done at the time above designated. At an early period of the session Committees were ap pointed on the Senatorial Districts, and Reports were in due time submitted by those committees. In the House, Mr Reid of Duplin, democrat, reported a plan on behalf of one pare of the coinmftleilumi Mr Mclntyre of Richmond, wnTg -aji.be'- half of the other; and, after some discus sion, the House, composed of a majority of whigs, voted down Mr Mclntyre's plan, which vote was justly regarded as indicat ing an approval of Mr Reid's plan. The two Houses, being unable to agree, ap pointed a committee of conference con sisting of two on the part of each House: and this committee, alter some time spent in examining the matter of the Senatorial Districts, reported that they could not agree. 1 he discussion was again opened and continued for a day or two, at. d scv eral amendments were made, in theliouse, to Mr Reid's plan. The 44th, Mr Bow- ot a I lilrir vxr rhanrrPfl liv nililinrT it Wilkes and striking oft another county. so as to make it decidedly wmg union was taken from Anson and joined to Ca barrus, so as to make it, as the whigs al ledged, a democratic District, and Wash ington was added to Martin. At this point in the discussion, another committee, was proposed on the part of the House, to whom the whole matter should be referred; and Mr Averv of Burke, democrat, and Mr Philips of Orange, whig, were appointed by the Speaker as this committee. This arrangement appeared to give satisfaction to the whig members; and one ot them, Mr Puryear ol Yadkin, stated in his place that such was his anxiety to settle the matter in a spirit of compromise, he was willing to support whatever plan this coror might recommend. This was on Wl !' day, the 22d, the day fixed upon by Vw Houses for adjourning sine we. Messrs Avery and Philips met. They struck out the amendment as to Col. Bower's DisU, putting Watauga to the District and leav ing out Wilkes; they also put Union with Anson, concurred as to Washington and Martin, and took Madison from thtt 491 and added it to the 50th District. They returned to the House in the course of an hour or two, and through Mr Avery made their report. Mr. Avery explained-the changes which the Committee recommen ded, and the report was made the special order for seven o'clock at night. "Ty report on the part of this Committer signed to the Democrats 22 District! to the Whigs 22, and left six Distric doubt. , As soon as the House assembled atV en u ciock me uiscusion was commence i mrt: i m uy mg teauers. j nev onered no argu ments against the plan, but indulged in general declamation, declaring that the bill, as reported, should not a that they would speak until midnight to pre vent it, and thus adjourn the House sine die! Messrs Fagg, Cherry Dargan, Mil ler, and Caldwell of Guilford, occupied the floor in turn, avowing it as their pur pose to have a bill which would give more Districts to the Whigs or force an adjourn ment. As the hour of twelve approached, the excitement became intense. The lobbies were crowded with citizens morti fied and indignant at the spectacle prettnt ed. Gen. Saunders spoke briefly In a conciliatory tone; Mr Philips, Whig, rose and declared that he adhered to the report, dah&oiliiinIIIAki and that he could ftp go with hi party upon the verge of chaos ; and while mem friends in their disorganizing nd revolu- bers of both parties wept over a condition tionary movement; and Mr Dobbin appeal- of things they could not change, these un ed to the House in thrilling tones to scrupulous leaders were thinking only of rescind the order for adjournment, and thus prevent the state of disorganization on which the government was rapidly ruthin. He alluded to a period during the war with Great Britain, .when a ma-j - a m. 1 1 a. ww----p- sure was pending involving the character of the country, and wnen nenry iiay, in doubt as to the result of the vote, suddenly appeared in the midst of the members holding his watch in his hand, and ex claiming I count the minutes which my country's honor has to live l" -and he called upon members to bear in mind that a similar crisis was upon us that the minutes might be counted during which the State government was to go forward in its accustomed path, or gu down in confusion and revolution. At this . point, about half past eleven o'clock, Mr Pur- year onereu a Resolution proposing to send a message to the Senate to rescind the joint agreement to adjourn at twelve o'clock; and Mr Speaker Baxter entertain ed the Resolution and put the question on it. in violation, as he stated, of the rules of order. He bore testimony, at the same time, . to the disposition evinced on 4he part of the Democrats to act in a spirit of justice on the subject of the Senatorial Districts, and said he was pained at the conduct of his Wiiig friends. The Reso lution was adopted, the Senate concurred, the hour for adjournment sine die was fixed at twelve o'clock on Thursday, the next day ; and soon after the two Houses adjourned. On ihursday the struggle was renewed. The bill was amended, by which the Whigs gained, and having been read the second time, the revolutionary leaders in sisted that the rules shttuld be suspended so as to give it a third reading before twelve o'clock. They threatened again and again to dissolve the government if the House should refuse to yield to their d ;- mands ; and within about ten minutes of twelve o'clock, a message was received from the Senate proposing to rescind the joint order to adjourn at that hour, and hxing Monday the 27th as the day lor adjourning. Here again Mr Speaker Baxter interposed, lie entertained the message, and took the question on it in violation of the rules of order. The House concurred in the Senate's proposition, and the revolution was averted. Mr Speaker Baxter then asked to be heard. He stated that he had witnessed the recent struggle with pain that he had sympathized with his Whig friends in their efforts to obtain justice from their political opponents; hut, having seen a disposition on the part of Democratic members to do justice, he had taken upon himself the authority to violate the rules of the House with the view of preventing a dissolution of the government. He concluded by re signing his place as Speaker, and by call ing Mr Puryear to the Chair. He did this, he said, out of respect to his political friends who had placed him in the Chair, and against whoe course he had just been compelled, by a sense of duty, to take such decided action. Mr Cherry here rose and declared that he had been de vised to the course he had pursued by the Speaker, among others ; that the Speaker had urged h:in to stand forward as he had done ; and Mr Miller, of Caldwell, said the same in substance. On Friday morning Mr Baxter was re elected Speaker, all the Whigs and several Democrats voting for him. The Demo crats generally voted for Mr Averv, of Burke. On resuming the Chair Mr Bax ter delivered an address, in the course of which he said that several Democrats had urged hi in to arrest the movements of those who were about to produce a revolution, and had declared to him that they would stand by him at all hazards ; and he com plained that some of these Democrats had voted against him. It is doubtless true that Democrats did uige him to arrest the revolution, and did promise to stand by him in the course he pursued ; but they did not know, al that time, that Mr Bax ter was a party to the revolutionary move ment. They thus urged him, and thus pledged "themselves before Mr Cherry spoke c.l "Thursday ; but after what Mr Cherr lud aid, though they respected Mr r w ltd when the House .-C to be adjouri1 y the violent &. t Cacti"-t couduct c j party, still , -dulu rot f rt him for re election i5rsake- L .M in doing they con- sidetcii'tiiey might be held responsible as endorsers of his conduut in this matter from first to hist.

A new Constitution would have been the result, and all this brought about by party spirit and a desire among a few whig leaders for party ad vancement and party honors! The sum and substance of what these whig revolu tionists demanded was this .

INAUGURATION OF GOV. REID. On Wednesday last, the 2 2d December, His Excellency David S. Reid. was in augurated in presence of both Houses of the General Assembly as Governor of the State for the next two -jtears. The oaths of office vrerei adminis&redVSy Wesley Jones, Esq., a Justice-of the Peace for Wake County. Gov. Reid delivered upon the occasion the following brief but appropriate ad dress : Senators and Member s of the House of Commons Profoundly grateful for the approval of my administration in being again called to the Executive Chair of North Carolina, I shall enter upon a second term with the earnest invocation to the Great Ruler of the Universe to enable me to discharge the duties of the office with prudence and justice, and in an acceptable manner to the people of the State. The principles avowed in my last In. augural Address will govern my adminis tration during the ensuing term. They are too wen known to require repetition on this oecasion. The extension of the right of suffrage is a great question of popular right, founded upon the immutable principles of truth and justice, and is demanded by the voice of the people. lhis reform is essential to the preservation of the blessings of liberty. and I shall continue earnestly to urge its consumation. Keeping constantly in view the fact that the place I occupy was bestowed for public convenience, it will afford me plea- s ' sure to co-operate with the legislature and the people in all measures calculated to promote the cause of Education to just ly distribute the benefits and burdens of government and to advance the Agricul tural and other great interests of the State to the end that industry and enterprise may be properly rewarded, and the people become mure free, prosperous and happy. ON THE APPLICATION OFl.IME TO GRASS L.AND. When we consider the vast quantity of lime that is removed by a cr ip of grass, it seems reasonable to suppose that some means ought to be taken to restore that element to the soil, if it does not already contain a sufficient amount. Two tons of red clover will carry oft 150 pounds of lime two tons of rye gras, 33 pounds. This is from an analysis by Professor John son, whose high authority cannot be doubt ed ; and from analvsis we find all grasses to contain lime in large proportions, es pecially clover and lucerne. Although the quantity of lime appears a great deal carried oft by these crops yet very small when compared with tle weight of the soil, as one cubic foot weighs about 80 pounds and the presence of a much great er quantity of lime is necessary to be pre sent in the soil than what is actually re quired by the various crops, as the roots of fooding organs do not come in contact with the hundredth part of the soil. The clear glassy part of the stems of grass is composed of a silicate of potash or a silicate of soda ; and in the absence of either of these substances, lime in contact with sand or flint will render it sufficiently soluble to enter into the organism of plants, and will also set at liberty matters that have been taken up in the soil, and quite unfit in that state for the food of plants. If grass is not carried away in the shape of a crop of hay, but is used as a pasture for milch cows or growing stock, till a great amount of lime is removed by those animals: 100 pounds of bones contaiu above 57 pounds of lime. Milk, too, car ries off carbonate and phosphate of lime in great abundance. Yet if must be remem bered that there is a marked difference be tween the full grown animal and a young and growing one: the former excretes car bonate and phosphate of lime in its liquid and solid excrements, whereas nature has so organized the young animal, that the greater part of the lime eaten in its food is assimulated for the growth and extension of its bones; if such were not the fact, how could bones possess the immense ...Ir r lima in t Hii r rninniMilinn) So, even by this means, the soil becomes deficient of lime, if all the excrements of such young auimals were returned to it; if such soil did not contain a sufficiency of lime, which there is much reason to doubt, as crop after crop removes lime, and lime is seldom applied as a dressing for grass land; and certian it is that we cannot ar rive at anything like accuracy in the ab sence of analysis; and practical experimen ters and farmers will do -veil to consider this. Mr Wetherly, an English farmer, who has experimented largely with lime, states that the fall is the best time to apply lime to land, as it exercises its most beneficial influence in the winter months. a nai which contains the greatest amount of the pure carbonate of lime, is the best. About three tons are applied to the acre. It is slacked and spread evenly over the land as quick as possible. Its use should be regulated as to the kind of crops. Po- tatoes are much benefited by its use toiis. with their tons, will take from soil 270 pounds of lime 45t neps,with their tops, willf pounds of lime; hence the J to turnep crops from thf from the fact of their sur7 addition to the organic enlxjic American. . . - ' ' From !

A letter from Rev. J. C. Richmond, dated at Bergen, in Sep tember last, and published in the Evangel ical Catholic, of this city, contains much that is interesting respecting tlvis -matter. The whole number affectedby leprosy in that country, is estimated at three thou sand. The disease has begun to penetrate inland, and is sometimes found far in the interior. Mr Richmond calls attention to theimpo tant fact that the Norwegian emigration this country is togreat a extent from leproi districts, and persons known to be infecj ed have already emigrated to IheAiiui' States. Dr. Daniellssen regard"-" tain that the diseise vil among these enimigra rally be expectedto U Mr Richmond recomiv" of the most stringent C tection of such as are! may be prevented fron!

The remedy may act harshly in some in- lividua! cases, out it is ly no means more tyrannical than the quarantine laws that already exist. It will tend to secure future generations against one of the most leanui calamities mat can oecome per manent among a people." In co-icluding his letter, which is ad dressed to Bishop Wain w right, he says: Could you have witnessed, as indeed you did in the East, the poor creatures, some afflicted with that type of the disease which covers the face, and even the eye lids with red tubercles, ami, by the growth of the 6a me within the throat, destroys the speech, or reduces it to a husky and hoarse eRWrt, while the poor leper in a few years decends to the tomb; or could you behold the limbs by degrees dropping from the body, and while they remained, so destitute of feeling that the poor suffer ers frequently burn themselves with deep scars before they are even aware of the heat, you would not wonder that I should wish to arouse such attention, before it be too late as may secure our posterity against this loathsome infliction.
