Southern Enternrlse. The South is unquestionably, at the present tims outstripping the Xorth in great enterprises of internal" impro?emCnt; . While railroad projects are near ly all suspended in the free States, en -terpriseir of-the most gigantic character are steadily and vigorously progressing in the slave States. Vhib we cannot enumerate but a few great works now under construction at the North, which have not been arrested and enfeebled by the panic, it is difficult to keep posted upon the rapid progress, on the numer ous great lines of roadd at the Souths The preat trunk- line through Virginia and over the AHeghanies into tho valley of tho Tennessee, and on to the llissis sippi, at Memphis, will be completed in a few days, and by the Memphis and Little Rock Railroad, i3 being carried across to tho St. Francis, the "White, and Arkansas rivers. Its engineers are steadily pointing their surveying instruments in the direction of the Pacific, conGdent that its terminus will be upon those delightful shores. Missouri, a slave State, has taken up the enterprises of her free sisters, that have approached her borders, and is carrying all their separate lines across her territory, with an energy that shames her boastful rivals, with the bold in tention of Lushing a trunk road for all of them through the barriers of the Rocky mountains, into the golden valleys of California. The lines of roads that aro approaching the valley of the Tennessee from tha coasts of the Carolinas, through the rich mineral districts that lie at the South-eastern baso of the Allcghanics, aro opening the wealth and trade of those scaled regions. From Charleston and Savannah, through Northern and Middle Georgia and Ala baina, two lines have .been for years steadily working their way; one deverging with a branch, to the commodious part of Fensacola on the Gulf, af.d Jttth uniting in a trunk to Montgomery, and thence by sections already under con struction, is making its way to the Mississippi, at Vicksburg; crossing at that point, the road (now; building from . -W V a . - . ..! vicksDurg to Shreveport. will unite il - with the Texas and El Passo road, and in time carry it across the continent to the Pacific. From New Orleans, the Opoulousas road has been constructed through the swamps of Louisiana and got upon the firm land of Attakaspas, and is gradually pushing its way towards the Texas line to connect itself with the Southern Pacific Road, which, under the liberal patronage of the State of Texas, will be the first road to reach the Rio Grande. Florida is being spanned by a railroad from the Atlantic to the Gulf; so silently and unobtrusively is the work progressing, that it is almost unobserved and unknown to the country. These are tho main East and West lines now under construction. From the Gulf towards the North, New Orleans is pushing her Northern road, which has already reached tho Capital of Mississippi;, and in the course of an other year it will be carried through that State to the Tennessee boundary, with the ultimate design of carrying it to the Ohio. Tho little citv of Mobile is about Uncomplete- one of the grandest enter prises of tho age,, in the construction of a road almost solely by her own energies and resources five hundred miles through a vast and almost unbroken wilderness from the Gulf to the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi. The close of the present year will witness the completion of this work. ( Alabama is urging on another road from the Alabama to the Tennessee river to connect with the road direct to Nashville, thence North through this point to the Lakes by tho Henderson and Nashville road, if that shall ever be built, or by way of the Nashville and Louisville road, when that road shall be constructed. The Iron Mountain road, from St. Louis, is completed to Pilot Knob, and active measures are now being taken, to extend it ICO miles South, to a point opposite Memphis, where.by crossing the Mississippi, a connection will be made with roads running to the Gulf, forming almost an air line railroad route, from Sc. Louis to New Orleans. There is another deeply interesting enterprise, that may, in the mutations of commerce, affect our fortunes, as a city. A road is under construction from Montgomery, to the deep and accessible harbor of Pensacola, the only one on the Northern shores of the Gulf, capable of admitting a large commerce. The work is progressing simultaneously at both ends. Sixty miles of the road are graded and the iron received; and the rails for tho other portions aro on their way from England, or have been contracted There is now a railroad line from Nash,Te t0 Montgomery; but when the more dircckom the Alabama to the Tennessee riveu shall bo completed, and tha road from her to Nashville shall be built, there will be an Jmost straight line from this city and through us from the lakes, to tho nearest point on the Gulf of 'lexico, to the only good harbor on its

Northern coast. Besides New Orleans, there is no port on the Gulf, into which a

vessel caa enter, drawing more than eleven feet, but that of Pensacola' Ther the largest ships of war enter, and it has a capacity for a commerce with the world. The cost-of taking a ship from the Balize up to New Orleans and back, is greater than the expense of her outward and return voyage to Europe. It requires, therefore, no spirit of prophecy to foretell the effects upon the commerce of the gulf, In openmg an avenue of transportation from this noble harbor to the rich and productive regions 'of the vast interior to the North of it. Will ship go up to, New Orleans at an expense of $1,000, when she can be laid along side of the wharf of' Pensacola for pilot's fee? Will not the exports from the interior meet the ship at a point where she can afford to take her freights at twenty-five or thirty per cent, cheaper than at other points? If produce can reach Pensacola over a road of 500 miles in length, will it go over anotheT route of 700 miles to get to New Orleans where freights arc one-third higher? Pensacola seems destined to become the great seaport of the Gulf, where the-trade between the cereal regions of tho conti nent and the tropics will centre. And to this destiny the Northern and Southern railroads now under construction by Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee, are rapidly preparing the way for. this old Spanish Fort. The Mobile and Ohio road tunst be eventually extended to the gulf at Pensacola. The enterprises of the South are producing greater relative improvements in her condition than were ever achieved, in the same period, by the energies of the North. Sectional prejudice may be slow to perceive it, but the results will ere long make the truth manifest to the most prejudiced mind. These great work are carried on SO quietly, and with so little puffing, that their progress does not attract the attention of the North to the extent their importance would naturally excite. The spirit of depreciation is so strong that the magnitude of the works is not ad mitted and appreciated by Northern journalists. The high price of cotton for tho . past five fears has poured immense sums of tveahh into the rural districts of thi Souta through which these roads are lo cated. They are being constructed to a far greater extent by home means, than Northern roads hare crer been; arid the fact thai their securities arc not puffed and hawked in every money market in the world, is one reason why they - hare attracted les.s general attention than Northern enterprises. They are, however, no less important to the . country because less known. The South, by her own works, is linking herself more and more to us by bands of iron and hooks of steel, and neither the corrupt machinations of the politicians, nor the madness of sectional factions will ever separate us. Our so cial ties and commercial interests, are more closely interwoven than our politi cal relations, and form a bend of union that can never be severed. Our interests are in common one portion of the country cannot prosper without conferring benefits upon the other. To us, in this region, the progress of the. South is the prosperity of our best customer. Wo should rejoice in her newly awakened spirit of enterprise, and be ready, to award her praise, and be foremost to cheer her in her prosperous labors. : Teatlmouy la Bright and F'.trh's Cast). On Thursday last, the Commissioners for taking testimony for tho protestants in the case of Bright and Fitch, claim ants of scats in the U. S. Senate, had Gov. Willard under examination before them. He stated, under oath, that Judge Gookins, of the Supreme Court of Indiana, had administered the oath of office to twenty-four of the newly elected Sen ators, and that he, as presiding officer of the Senate, had done the same, under the direction of the Senate, for Mr. Cooper, the Senator from Kush county. These, with the old Senators, who held over, made the whole number of Sena tors qualified, fifty, and constituted a full Senate. Got. "Willard's testimony, theic fore, refutes the statement of Dr. Fitch, made in tbe United States Senate, that there were but forty-seven Senators holding seats in the Indiana Legislature when his alleged election took place. Gov. Willard, under oath, says there were fifty Dr. Fitch, without special reference to truth, says there were but forty seven. Tha statement of Got. Willard, who was present at the organ ization of the Senate, should bo worth rather more than that made by Dr. Fitch. ' . 07On yesterday there appeared.here, a one dollar note on the State Bank o Ohio, raised to a ten. There are two ways of detecting them. The right end has the oortrait of Gen'l Harrison, in stead of a female, and by the poi trait of Judge Swan. No ten dollar bills have the portrait of Judge Swan on them.

The Commissioner of the Lani Office. The Mount Vernon Advocate, which

seldom casts any censures upon the con duct of any officer of the Administration, and when it speaks, does so in very cau tious terms, does not hesitate in its last issue to express its beliefs in the complicity of the Commissioner of the General Land Office in the fraudulent sales of lands in Nebraska and Kansas to ? I the I Bright, English anil Foley. It gives' following-reasons .for. crediting - the charges against the Commissioner. They are enougn to awaxen puouc inaignauuu gainst all the parties concernedf ' Tho Vincennc Gazette chames tbo Com missioner of the General Laad office with complicity in various frauJLsin connection with tho rtijtnoniuon Ol V'.

The charze implieato t'iio Oommir-sioncr in the sy stematic violation of tho Act in this State, and in mr opinion crreitlif. Notwithstanding tho meaning and t.urpo.so ot the law were us plain as lanirnnire could make them, by a cries of twistins and distortions ot its phraseology, the commissioner in his interpretation of the law, and ins-truotious to his subordinates ot the local otUccs, grossly perverted that iiieaniujr md n-.irnose. and iravo the amplest opportuni ties lor the complete frustration of that pur -pose. We have in our possession one ot the circulars directed to tho local olficcrs hy the Commissioner, for their guidance under the law. A more perfect perversion of tho mcanliisr of a law bv its administrator it is imposfibio to conceive oi; all oi which, oi courc, tended to pen tho door to that ee rie of fraud that have been so sncccssiuiiy practiced under tho law in this State partic ularly, and by which it is charged tho Com missioner has personally pronicu. The insufficiency of the law as adminis tered to CÖcct the ends designed becoming obvlons, Congress passed a supplemental Act to remedy the defects of the original. But iuwi v - I . .1 one, tho Commissioner mannged to render it nnlhty likewise. It provide. ."Hump other thini;, that whore fraudulent entries were proven under ire original act, mat mo iiuiu hould revert, and bo subject to rc-eutry upon the tonus prescribed, viz: actual settlemc.it and cultivation, being complied with n (rood tai tli. This provision, as well as all others looking to the dif possesion of the parties illegally in jmsscssion, ha., it is notiirioixlv known. vroven a rwrfeot dead let ter. In no insUcco that lias come to our knowledcra has it ever been en forced, nc onrsclf, in two distinct case in which we were enzaucd. submitted to t lie general tie nartnicntthe most conclusive proof of fraud on the part of caterer, yet without crTt-ct in either cae. The parties! entering were both wealthy men and heavy landholders, living in a distant part of the tute. . They, with others, niado the tour of the Southern part of the State, selected uch un occupied (Jovcrnnicnt land asthcy chose, and by mutual perjury obtained certificates of purchase therefor.

Such were the facts in tbe cases alluded to, which we substantiated by tho sworn testimony of threo disinterested and credible witnesses. Also, tho furthor fact, that from tho day of this pretended "settlement and cultivation," to tho date of the certificate we submitted, neither ot the parties, nor any one in thoir behalf, ever set foot uron the lands. Yet upon being furnished with these facts, and assured that wl.atevcr else was necessary to establish to tho fullest satisfaction of tho Department, tho transparent character of the fraud practiced, tho answer was coolly returned that '"the proof made by under tha graduation Act of August, ISM, lain ac cordance with tho proviaionnof said law, and a patent will be issued to him for the laud m question. ' Important egotiation. It is very confidently reported from various sources at Washington, that the President is negotiating for a cession of all that part of Mexico lying North of a straight line from the mouth of the Rio Grande to that of the Mayo rive, on tho Gulf of California, the whole of Low er California included. This embraces the greater part of Sonora, Chihuahua, and Coahuila. and is about one-third of all Mexico. The 4Churcb party'1 in Mexico, is the agency through which our government is said to be operating. A few millions of dollars in exchange for four or. .five States, over which tho new government will find no easy worlc in maintaining its authority, will not unlikely prove a very strong temptation perhaps an irresistible one. These States are now in actual rebellion to the central Mexican Government, and have an organized revolutionary Government, that has al ready set up for independence, and, aided by the fillibustering forces from this side of the Rio Grande, the Government of Mexico, can entertain but little hope of retaining them long, even in nominal subjection. It will be wise therefore, for the Mexican Government to take a few million and convey what they must soon lose altogether. The wealthy and intelligent citizens of the Capital of Mexico, who have large land grants in the State of Tamaulipas, New Leon, Coahuila and Chihuahua, seeing the inevitable result of the present relation between those States and the Central Government, are offering their lands in those States to Americans for mere nominal prices. We have recently seen proposals from parties offering to convey four or five million acres of land large quantities of which were under cultivation at prices that did not exceed five cents an acre. In the mania for the acquisition of lands, among our citizens, there is no finer field for speculation, than in the purchase of these large Mexican grants, in that portion of the country, which must, in "the course of human events," before many years, be brought under the dominion of the stars and stripes.

The Princeton Clarion says, that under the , following lause in tho Acta of 1355 tor mis demeanor, several information were gotten op by the prosecutor in the Common Fleas Court during the term which haa just closed. ' Jle it enacted bv the General Assembly rf. the State of Indiana. That if any person oi' the age of fourteen years and upward, shall be round, on tno first day ol tue wees, commonly called Sunday, riotine, hunting:, fishing, auarrelin?. at common labor, or enffared in their usual a vocations, (worka of c har'tty and necessity i excepted such4, person shall be fined in any sum not les than one nor more man ten dollars, 5fcc. The informations alluded to waro princi pally against grocery keepers, for selling lienor on Sunday, liquor selling being their usual and "every day" avocation. Judge ritchcr, in amesäinz a fine of fivo dollars against one of these men, said that he would pursue in Gibson, tho ' same coir?e he did in Posey county; that for every second offense üon was an outrage upon every moral una religious sentiment, and ought to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. He gave all warning what might be expected at his hands in future. ' ' The efficacy of the luw under tho adjneations of Jndge Moore might be tried in this county, for tho public benefit. In one of the above trials, the defendant an old man of tixty five years escaped the fine, by the failure of tho prosecutor to prove the offender was above the age of fourteen. It cleared him, although standing with his grey head before tho Judge at the time. ' lie said he could not judiciously take notice of a man's ago without proof. Embezzlement.

I also ctrtiry , that I haveeompared tbo list of policies furnished me Ly the President as on tho bonks of tho Company with aluaticoi tables sufficiently to test the accuracy of the results fivta by the Secretarr, and find the values as sved within to be numerically correct. That Is to say, the present value -of tho fo turtTisk of the office on all outstanding policies, or the difference between the present value of the fnturo premiums to be poid on tliens is St3,W?,l?. The total value of policies, the holders of which aro entitled to dividends is f 2V.227,. - And if the surplus is correctly stated it 711!,'l, the difference betweea this and tie present value f the future risk of the Company on cxistine policies, after deducting 19 per Cent, of it for the relief funs, is the proper amount for dividend, I wit, S24ilO,7. The true principle of dividend is to assign to each policy holder who has Insured on the mutual plan a share proportioned to the present value of bis policy, which is the true value of his Interest as a stock holder of the Company. This share amounts to '4 per cent, cf the present valueof the policy. CHARLES W.HaCKLET. February 5ith, W57. . As Agent for the shove Company.
