k-o.i.l:tior.s prescntn-l !'' law, will be for the second discretion of the Legislature to determine. My own convictions are that it will be the better policy to receive the money, nnd rely upon the future wisdom and Justice oi" Congress for the surrender of anv further claim to the fund. If vou determine the question aflirmautivelv, then what disposition shall he made of the money to render'it productive and fife? Two plans present themselves to my mind, either of which would be acceptable. The one is to increase the State fctuck in equal proportion in all the branches of the State Bank; and the other, to distribute it equally among the counties of the several hank districts, to be loaned for a term of live years, in sums from StiOO to 500 bv the office rs of the banks, securing bv mortgage on lands at halt their valuation: the mortgage to pay the officers such fees as will compensate them, exemptinir the accuring interest from any charge of the expense of loaning. Taking into view the amount carried to the surplus fund, our bank, stock for the last year has yielded a dividend of more than ten per cent; and supposing the condition of the Dank to remain as prosperous for the future, w e may calculate upon an interest of ten per cent., should vou dispose of the fund upon the plan first named. If you adopt the second mode, the rate ot interest will be as you may direct by law. If invested in Bank stock it can be converted into cash, whenever good policy or the exigencies of the State shall make it desirable. If loaned on mortgage, it will fall into the hands of those who cannot comply with Bank regulations by making payments at short period. In cither wav the fund will be safe and productive, and the benefits of its circulation will be c-otiprallv felt bv the people. The an-

nnal interest can be npptie 1 on that accru t ing nn nnr loins, and will meet it on one fourth part of our contemplated public debt at live per cent. Should the General Government relinquish its claim, it will be our true policy to pledge the fund for the support of Township -chools after we arc throught with our public works. In the month of July last, from three to four hundred delegates, from the nine states most directly interested, assembled in convention at Knoxville, Tennessee, to consult upon the practicability, the expediency, and the means to be employed for the construction of the projected National Kail-wav, from Charleston, South Carolina, to the Ohio River, and from thence by a connection with . the works of this State, and Ohio to teach the lakes. Several of our public spirited citizens were in attendence, and participated in its deliberations. It U proposed where other provision has not been made by the States interested, that the surplus to be distributed by the General Government shall be set apart to an amount sufficient for the accomplishment of the work. Our public works will constittitute important links in the great chain of communication, and with the provision we have already made, nothing more will be required of the state. To the West, the South, and the Union, it is a work of great value. By its completion we will acquire, in the choice ot markets, all we can desire, and in reasonable ccrtaintv of success we find much to stimulate and urge us onward in the carrvin" out of our own plans. For your information, I have been furnished with ecvcrtl printed copies of the proceedings of the convention, which I now lay before you. The Governor was requested by the resolution of the last legislature, to open a pnee with the executives ot VUliV,J'v..v--Kentucky and Ohio, and with distinguished individuals in the science of Geology, on the subject of Geological survey of the three states; and to ascertain the probable expense, the time it would require, the manner in which it should be done, S:c. That duty received the attention due to it, and 1 now lay before you the correspondence pertaining to the subject. From the Govenor Kentucky, I have honored with a replv: aful it may be because he did not feel at liberty to offer any opinion, as to the course the legislative branch would pursue, without previous authority so to do. In this slate we have external indications of large fields of cod, and other mineral deposites, but for the want of the proper test of science, their extent and value are unknown. Whether Kentucky and Ohio will unite with this state must remain in uncertainty for some time to come, to say nothing of the delay that would be made in settling the terms of the examinations, the proportion of the expense to be paid by each, and where ihev should commence. These reflections have induced the belief that no satisfactory adjustment of the terms can be concluded upon in a reasonable time, and satisfied that our mineral 1 I l 1 - u resources property uevciopeo, win give employment iu uto"-i purposes of commerce, contribute to the surmort of our public works, and add greatly to the wealth of the citizens, and the state, I would advise the appointment of a competent person; witu autnoruy to proceed with the examination, under the auspices, and for the .benefit of this State alone, and if the other states shall hereafter signify their wish to unite in making the examinations, they can be included. By a resolution'of the Legislature at its session before the last, the Oovernor was authorized to receive from the Hon. John Tipton, a deed of conveyance for the Tippecanoe BaUle Ground, which he so generously proffered to convey to the State, without charge. In consequence of some emission on the part of the surveyor, the - i . i . .t0d not made before the time of Grn. Tipton's departure for Washington

at the last session of Congress. I no w have the satisfaction to say that the conveyance has been made, and that the remaining instruction of the Legislature will

be complied with by enclosing the ground and procuring a design for the Monument proposed to be erected. The agricultural interests, it is believed, have been largely promoted by the encouragement given hy the law of Feb. 1835. Numerous County Societies have been added to those of the previous year; fairs and exhibitions have been held and a spirit of emulation and generous competition have been superinduced, the happy effects of which are witnessed in the improved culture and stock of many of the farms throughout the country. The State Board have done what their opportunities would admit. After examining the report of the State Board, which will soon be made, you can determine whether a revision or future amendment of the lawwill be needed for the promotion of that branch of industry and enterprizc. The accumulation ot business in our courts, the additional time allowed by law to transact it, and the enlargement of several of the circuits by attaching the newly organized counties to them, have become so burthensome to the President Judges as to require one or more new circuits; and I recommend the subject to the consideration of the Legislature. Among the liberal grants from the National Treasury for the construction of the harbors, light houses, etc. along the borders of the great chain of Northern Lakes, there have been several small ones for the benefit of the commerce flrowing through Michigan City of our State: But these disbursements are two small and two tarey for our growing trade. In point of commerce, in the number of its inhabitants, in its unprecedented improvements, and its concentration of capital and enterprize, that point on the lake has no rival, and it will be well for the Legislature to request another and an increased appropropriation at the hand of Congress. A joint resolution of the last session authorized and directed the Governor to employ some one to revise our School Laws. That duty was discharged by engaging the services of the lion. John Dumont, who will report the manner in which the task assigned him has been performed. The reports to be made hy the School Commissioners to the Treasurer, m compliance with the requisitions of our statute, arc not due until December, which prcduces trie iiovernor irom noticing mem. In establishing the several routes composing the plan of our public works, they do not accommodate the interests, nor inlist the feelings of our citizens of Jackson, Scott, and Clark counties, nor of those south of the New Albany and Vineennes Road, and therefore they complain of its injustice. Of thcr dissatisfaction, information both verbtl and written, from sources that cannot be disregarded, has been communicated to the Governor, that he may make it known to the Legislature. In the last named counties, delegates have been sent to the Convention at Jasper, to deliberate upon measures for the promotion of their wishes, and through their rep resentatives here, the character of the improvements proposed, and the extent of their claims upon the patronage of the Staie, will be made known to the legislature. But whilst they complain, they acknowledge their obligations to the State, and mindful of their duty, they arc ready, now, as, heretofore, to sustain the State in her measures, and to respect the supremacy of her laws. In the counties first named, they dssire the aid of the credit of the State for the Columbus and Jefi'ersonville Kail lioad, surveyed by Mr.C'oyle, the last year. Good policy woulJ seem to dictate a course that will quiet these claims and unite these small districts in interest and feeling, with the other portions of the state, and I recommend the subject to your serious consideration. Two years since, when entering upon the duties of my second term of service, I pointed to the time when the landholders would be relieved from the burthen of taxation, by the adoption of the ad valorem svstom, as the proper period to say something in bcha'f of the Judicial and State officers; and I now most cheerfully comply with that engagement, by earnestly recommending such an additional allowance as your liberality and sense of of Justice may approve. The salary of seven hundred dollars for a Judge was settled at the time of the organization of our State Government. We were then poor, and out of little more than sixty thousand inhabitants, about eight thousand of them paid the taxes and, therefore, a rigid economy was necessary. Land was cheap and plentiful; provision. and every description ot property were low. But now, we have a population ot more than , uu.tHHi, and nn warns ot one hundred thousand contribute to the supp()ltot the 1 reasury. l lie torest is suotu jei. our citizens "arc not only comforta ; , iu, ul easy circumstances; land provisions, and all kinds of property have a,vance,i two or three fold, but the salery of the Judge is the same. Law is progressive, science, and tokeeppace wi tli its advancement, the possession and the perusal ot Books are absolutely necessary: and for a Judge to be competent, or to attain eminence, his whole time and atten tion should be devoted exclusively to his profession. Like other men, when in ad vanccd pire, having employed his whole life in the study of the science, he should be able to point to a portion of his earnings for the future support of his family; but with his present salary he can do neither, and if you will enquire among yourselves, you will find, with few exceptions our judges are poor, and if frc 'rs at-

all, it will consist of a town lot, w ith a family dwelimir. .' Since your last meeting, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court resigned his office because it would not support his family. It was offered to most of the senior members of the Bar, but rejected, and no one sought it. To avoid an adjournment at the last term of the court, without the transaction of the usual business, the place was accepted by a dintinguished individual, at the urgent request of the Bm' reserving the right to surrender it at pleasure. Of this state of things tlie consequence will be, that those of the highest attainments will be driven from the Bench, and seats there will only be accepted by those who have not talents to live by the practice. The constitution has placed mv salary beyond your reach, by forbidding any increase whilst the Governor is in office. But having a right to advise what the pay of my successor ought to be, and this being the session at which you must act in the matter, if at all, I feel it my duty to tell you that he cannot live upon what you now allow. Place him at the seat of Government for three years, and from the price of rent, wages, fire wood, and provisions, if he does his duty towards the other branches of the government, to strangers, to our citizens, and to his station such as the laws of hospitality and courtesy require, he must leav e the office largely in Jdebt; and if found so ruinous, it will soon be, that none but the wealthy can accept it. Of the per diem compensation allowed to members of the Legislature, you are constituted the proper Judges, and your delicacy may suffer in extending even handed justice to your branch. But it is well known to all who shared in public l:fe at the time your compensation

was fixed at two dollars, that boardinor was one dollar and fifty cents per week and for your horse 75 cents; von have now to pay from two to three t.nu s that amount. Flour and pork, then worth one dollar and fifty cents, will now command three times that sum; and as it is the rise of produce that increases your expenses surely the farmers will not complain if you hereaher make yourselves whole. But this is not all. In preparing to leave home you place your crop, stock, and other business in the hands of agents who must be paid, and when you balance your accounts with the state, none of you realize 30 cents per day. This state of tilings will justify an allowance of three dollars per day for future sessions: and if at the end of three years you find your expenses are reduced you can reduce your pay to the old price; and you will find your constitution too generous, liberal, and just, to censure you. Owing to the changes made in the channel of the (ircat Miami river near its mouth, the boundary line between the States of Ohio and Indiana is so indefinite that the Legislature of Ohio to avoid collision, has thought proper to invite its permanent settlement. For that purpose I have been furnished bv the Executive of Ohio with the joint resolution, which I now have the honor of laving before W iilst giving your attention to the vari ous brandies of the public interests and service, if you may find my exertions at all necessary to advance them, vou mav rely on my earnest co-opration. N. NOBLE. December 5, 1S3G. Satckdvv, Dec. ITxii, l$'M. Presidential Flection From returns received, we have reason to believe Martin Van Buren will receive a majority of the electoral votes, and thereby be elected President of the United States but it does not follow that he has received a majority of the people' s votes. If he is elected President by the latter, it will be but with a bare majority much less than any President has heretofore received, our neighbor's opinion to the contrary notwithstand ing. As soon as we receive the oihcial returns from the several states, they shall be given to our readers. The Vice President will probably be elected by the Senate of the United States, as neituer candidate will receive a suffi cient number of electoral votes. On our first page we present our readers with Governor Noble s Message to the Legislature of this state. Oliver II. Smith, Esq. of Fayette county 'a whig) has hern elected a Senator of the F. States, for the ensuing six years, in place of Win. Hendricks, (Van Buren) the former Senator from this Slate. F.lisha M. Huntington. Eso. of Torre - Haute, has been elected J'resitieut judge of this Circuit, in place of Amory Kinney, Esq. resigned. . . . ... e, We are indebted to the editors of the Philadelphia Saturday News, for an extra number of their valuable paper.

The Alexandria Gazette says "We are ay much rejoiced at the noble attitude in which Mr. Senator Southard is now placed, as we are now tickled at the ludicrous position of .Messrs. Senators Tipton &, Hendricks of Indiana, the gentlemen who unfortunately made a wrong jump t'other day." We dissent from this. .Mr. Senator Hendricks made just such a jump as the whigr Wished. He was of Sam Patch's opinion that "some things could be done as well as others" had been for some years a nothingarian tried V'anBurenism and was floored by a whig. Bank notes are no longer receivable at the Land Office at this place for public lands. Payments must be made in gold or .silver. -- Park. We learn from the Cincinnati papers, that the market opened at 7, but soon fell to 5 cents per pound. It was the opinion that the latter price would be sustained. From t.'ie .Xew York Star. Kr. Van Bursa's Cabinet. It is rather early to talk about this, but a Washington Correspondent assures us that the Secretary of State w ill be Mr. Rives, of Virginia, and that Governor Marcy, of this Slate, will probably come into the War Department. Mr. Woodbury, our Correspondent thinks, is the only member of the present Cabinet who is likely to be retained. J turned of Commerce. Mr. Van Buren will find that making up a Cabinet is not a very easy matter. It is not as he Irishes, but as he is compelled bv, "the rude enforcement of the Times." The new President conies into office overwhelmed with political debts, without the means, to speak in a mercantile way, of paying five shillings in the pound; and he can make no settlement or com position that will not displease one half of his creditors-, consequently he will be worried and embarrassed during the whole of his four years reign I lis appointments may be classed under the following heads: First C'lnss. Cabinet and Ministerial appointments growing out of direct and distinct bargains for the votes of States. Such for example as Mr. Rives, Secretary of State, in repayment for Virginia; Dallas. Rush, Ingersoll and Buchanan, for Pennsylvania, Sec itc. Second Class. Direct bargains and understandings with General Jacksonhimself as to a certain number of his confidential friends, who arc to be retained in office, or other wise provided for, which class includes at least one Cabinet- one foreign and several miner offices. Third Class. Atrangemen'.s with the Kitchen Cabinet, which includes Kendal, Blair, Whitney, and others, w ho aided te get up the Baltimore Convention. Fourth Class. The multitudinous claims of the Albany Regency, and their coad jutors, which will be noisy, restless, and not easily satisfied, nor yet to be fobbed off. Fifth Class. Close and confidential friends of some pretention, whose aid as active politicians has secured his election. Sixth Class. The Democracy the candle ends and cheese parings, if any be left. Under such a load of political debt must Mr. Van Buren stagger, and most of this capital will be placed to the hands of trustees Wright, Benton, Cambrcleng and Co. for example. As to Mr. Woodbury, who, it is said above, is the only one to be retained in the Cabinet, w e think on the contrary that he is to retire and come into the Senate from New Hampshire. As to Governor Marcy, we think he has more state pride than to surrender the second ollice in the country for a subordinate one at Washington besides Mr. Van Buren cannot but see the impolicy of taking President, Secretary of War, and Attorney General, and probably several others from the state hof New York. It would excite jealousies against the State, before lie is strong enough to ward them off. Manage it as he will bend to the storm as he may shift, shirk, dodge back out and blink the question Mr. Van Buren will have a stormy time of it. The thousands w ho voted for him in Pennsylvania, believing they w ere voting for Gen. Jackson, w ill discover their error. The 10.000 Whigs of North Carolina who I, t In. r tx'l icviiiir that their j n n; ivium kvictory in August put down the opposition, 'will rally around old Tippecanoe forthwith for another campaign, and entire union oi me oomu jhu m secure the election of (Jen. Harrison with a majority full as great as brought in Gen. Jackson after his first defeat. -, Singular Scene in a Court of Just ire. The Chronique do Paris relates the following extraordinary scene as hav ing taken p?ace at the Court of Assizes. A - .l i wc ,.;n ' youth of about 19 was brought to trial for -J . . . -i , having broken the winnow oi a oaner s shop and stolen a two pound loaf. The President "Why did you steal the loaf.'" Prisoner "I was driven by hunger.' "Why did you not buy it? "Because 1 aatl no money." "But you had a gold rino-on your finder, why did you not sell it" "lam a foundling. When I was taken from the bank of a ditch, this ring .was suspended from my neck bv a siUen cord, and I kept it in hope of thereby discovering who were my parents. I cannot dispose of it." The' procureur du Roi made a violent speech against the prisoner w ho was found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment for five years. Immediately ; poverty than age, came forward and made Ube following declaration: -Gentlemen

of the Jury. 1 vventy years ago, a young woman was seduced by a young man of the same town, who after deceiving her, abandoned her. Poor and distressed she was obliged to leave her child to the care of Providence. The child is in poverty, the woman in misery, and her seducer in prosperity. The child is the unfortunate prisoner whom you have just pronounced guilty; the mother is myself; and there sits the father," pointing to the Procurtur. Shoeing Horses in I (Inter. In ('anada, where the winter is never of leas duration than five months, they shoe their horses in the following manner which serv e for the whole winter: The smith fixes a small piece of steel on the fore part of each shoe anil not tempered too hard, which turns up about 1-t of an inch in the shape of a horse's lancet; the same to the hinder part of the shoe, turned up a little higher than the fore part, tempered in the same manner. In going up a hill, the fore part gives a purchase that assists the horse, and in going down, prevents him sliding forwards. -- -

.7 IJunk Failure. In consequence of the recent failure of the President of the Nahant Bank at Lynn, Massachusetts, there was a run on the institution last week for specie, and the result of which was, as we are informed by our Boston Correspondent, and also by a gentleman w ho left that city last Saturday, that the Bank, unable to meet its notes with specie, was obliged to stop payment. Fiekntll's lieport er, jYovember 22. A ship called the Daniel Webster, was launched at Boston last week. Mr. Webster was present, and in reply to a complimentary address, said: "That he always esteemed it a happiness to be in the company of his fellow citizens, and that he rejoiced in the opportunity to meet his friends on this occasion. In allusion to the sentiment just given, expressive of his fitness to command a more important craft, he said that if he were not destined to command, he trusted that he had learned the duty of a good citizen to obey, and to sustain the laws and the Constitution, on which side, he should always be found. it wc had a good government, we ought to go ahead under it, and if a bad one, we ought to shoulder it and then go ahead. Under the flag which floated aloft, he would propose as a sentiment, the Constitution and Laws of the United States." V. J'. F.rprcss. Taking the Veil. The Alexandria Gazette, says that during the last week, at the Convedt of the Visitation in Georgetown, the following young ladies underwent the ceremony of taking the white veil: Miss Elizabeth (Irennell, of Charles county, Aid. now Sister Boromea, aged IG years; Miss Ann Hurley, of Philadelphia, now Sister Mary Rose, aged 10; .Miss Rosey Neale, of Charles county, Md. now Sister Mary Leonard, aged 10; Miss Ma ry Hunter of Baltimore, now Sister Ma ry Loretto, aged 16. I. F. press. The tomb of OJ'a has lately been discovered in digging a vault in the church yard of Hemel. The coffin was stuck about four feet beneath the surface, and taken up entire. An inscription was dis covered on the coffin, proving the remains to be those of Olla, the celebrated king of the Mercians, who built the Abbey of St. Albans, and w ho died in the eighth century. The coffin is said to be a very curious piece of workmanship. X. J". Z.'u prcss. Martin Van JJuren. The London John Bull of the 10th October, calls Mr. Van Buren, General Jackson's toady. The article in the John Bull is headed "What Mrs. Grundy says of us," and closes as follows: "No Yankee ever caught rattle-snakes in a eleftslick more adroitly than Andrew Jackson has caught these people, and handed them over to Mr. Martin Van Buren! AVhelher .Mr. Martin Van Buren will be able to hold the people as his master has done, is now the question iO!s verrons.' A". J". Exp. Wc mentioned the other day the explosion of the Powder Mill at Acton. The Yeomans Gazette informs us that there was supposed to be between 1200 and 1500 lbs of powder which exploded. There four men at work in the mill. Henry L. Dodge, a native of Concord, w as literally blown to pieces, and his mangled limbs, tattered llesh, and parts of his body were found in a neighboring field twenty or thirty rods distant. On a hill at least fifty feet higher than the mill, even there the miserable fragments of humanity were scattered, and pieces found hanging like rags on the bushes and trees, showing how effectual was the work of destruction. Lyman Osborn, a native of Nelson, N. II. and Reuben Osborn, a native of Acton, were killed instantly, and their bodies were found a few rods distant from the site of the mill. Addison Osborn, brother of Lyman, was picked up alive, his clothes all in a blaze, both of his legs broken, and his whole body burned and gashed in many places. He seemed to have no sense but that of suffering, and died in about three hours. The mill was swept to its foundation some of the timbers were found on the hill, and thousands of fragments, great and small, scattered all over the meadow, like leaves. Boston Transcript. Oufrazcous J'illany. Amongst the Police Office reports of the New York Jour, of Commerce, we find it stated, that on Wednesday lust, a Mr. R. who keeps a grocery Store in Ilnds to sell his stock in trade a grocery Store in Hudson street, agreed to a Mr. L. tor

C.paid 810 on account, and got a bill of sale of the goods, and immediately went to a Mr. II., to whom he owed a debt, and confessed a judgement for 800; and a little after four o'clock on the same day, II. put an execution in the Sheriff" s hands and against the property which C. had purchased from P., and swept away the whole of it, although R. had received only $10 on account of it. Outrageous as the transaction appears to be, it seems to have been managed so as to avoid criminal prosecution s th'magistrate did not con:dcr that lit conl 1 take cognizance of it, and that the parh.-j mut have resource to a civ il suit.
