From all I con Id lenrn, I consider the instruction of the

about 16 years of age, ia in the school now. Him I saw on*
dargo au examination, in which it was shown conclusively
that he had obtained much valuable information. He read*
and writes well, and hae a pretty correct idea of the rudiments
of geography, though he hat been under instruction only 18
months.
Col. Benjamin T. Mosely, Principal of.Cedar Town Acad

graduated.

REPORT.
To His Excellency,
GEORGE W. CRAWFORD:
Herewith you have my account ns Commissioner for Indi
gent Deaf and Dumb. There have been no applications for
this charity of tho State during this year. Lust April I vis
ited the beneficiaries at the American Asylum, and examin
ed caYefully into their condition, degree of improvement,
die. I finin'* them all in excellent health, well provided for,
and contented ; quite unwilling to leave the Asylum. Their
improvement is altogether satisfactory.. They aro all rapid
ly progresHing in the rudiments of a sound and useful educa
tion. The boys aro learning tho Shoemaker's trade, during
the hours devoted to labor, and the girls have made good
progress in various kinds of needle-work.

of some
improvement in their wardrobe. These facts will account
for the increase m the Steward’s account, in comparison with
last year. Upon atrict examination,-1 did not find their cloth
ing to be more than they really need. The annual charge
for each pupil for Board and Tuition, is $100 00. Besides
which the following amounts have been paid for the benefi
ciaries respectively, for clothing, physician’s bills, and other
incidental oX ponses; a full account of which may be seen by

In conclusion, I beg leave to call the attention of your Ex
eellepcy to one fact; the design of the State in this charity
i# almost entirely defeated, on account of the unwillingness
of pamats to trust their unfortunate children at such a dis
tance from (hem, in a cold olimato^aud among strangers.
Thera are many of this afflicted alas*, new in the 8tote, who
ought to be nt seh ol, and who would go to an insliuitioo in
this, or any of the mQoiniag States, but who will not be sent
to the Asyium at Hartford. Your Exorflency may be assur
ed, that tb* instruction they need con be afforded them os
reports of the Commit
tecs appointed by him, under a resolution of the Association
at its organization in April last, when the following reports
were presented and read :
Report on the Agriculture of Georgia, by Wm. Turner,
Chairman.
Report on Grains, by R. S. Hardwick, Ghairinan.
“ Slock, by Wm. Terrell, “
“ Manures, by J. W. Moody, “
“ “ by I. p. Whitehead, one of Commit
tee.
All of which were referred to the Executive Committee.
Ou motion of Judge Sayre,
Resolved, That the Executive Committee cause so much,
and such parts of the reports of the several committees and
of tho proceedings of the Association, as they may deem ex-
pedient. to be furnished to the publishers of the '‘Southern
Cultivator” and other gazettes that may be willing to receive
them, for publication.
The following preamble and resolution ftere introduced
by Mr. Sasnett: ■ ,
Whereas, in the opinion of this society, Agriculture is tbe
paramouht business of the Sta te ; that upon its resourses
and improvements, nil other classes and interests mainly de
pend (or subsistence and for wealth ; amf that upon the vir
tue, intelligence and skill of those who direct its labors, com-
irising as they do the mass of our population, must material-
y depend our moral aod intellectual character as a people.
Thut it is consequently of primary importance to the mer
chant, mechanic, manufacturer, and to all other members of
society, that this great branch of industry should be especi
ally honored and encouraged, and that the Agriculturist him
self should receive all those mutual aids, and that stimulus
to industry which are calculated to make him more prosper
ous in his business, and more useful.(o society-
That the exhausted and worn out state of much of our
lands, the low price of our great staple production, and the
great scarcity and high price of .bread stuffs and other provi
sions, particularly admonishes to put forth all our efforts to
enlighten its labors and increase its productions.
Thut to tbe Legislature oi the State as the legally con
stituted guardians of the public welfare, especially belongs
tbe duty of fostering this great source of our Wealth and hap'
pines*. , .3•,£*•',.YU’’f "'e
That from tbe experience of the pest, at home and abroad,
this association is confident that the patronage of tbe Gov
ernment may be advantageously extended, (end without de
triment to the financial operations of the treasury) to this
great ptyect. ^ "Pf
Resolved, tketrfqre, That a committee of Sve be appointed
the Chair, tq wait upon and petition tbe Legislature to
it* aid in promoting and improving this branch of in-
, y in which the State is jw nOivertaHy interested, liy.tbe
appropriation of inch' a sum, and umlov such restrictions and
conditions as tnay.^in their wisdom, seem moot advisable.
The Blessings of Christianity—A beeutifol writer
says that Christianity enters the hut of tbe poor man and
sets down with him and his children; it makes them con
tented in the. midst of privations, and leaves behind an ever
lasting blessing. It walks through cities amidst nil their
andsplt ' ' -
pomp and splendor, their imaginable pride, and their unut
terable misery, a purifying, ennobling and redeeming angel.
It is alike the champion of childliood and the comforting as
sociate of age. (t ennobles the noble, gives wisdom to tbo
wise, and new graces to the lovely. The patriot, minister,
poet, aud eloquent man derive sublime powers from its indu
ce.
From a private letter by the last steamer received from a
gentleman in England who has lately visited most of the
Dock Yaids, we take this extract:—‘'The activity in ail tho
English Dock yards is unprecedented, and I have in. vain en
deavored to discover the cause. The number of War steam
ers now being built is unusually great. No one here has any
idea of a rupture with France, many believe the English go <
vernment mean to tako strong ground in regard to Oregon—
>me think the government are negotiating for Califor-
The forts erecting On different points of the coast aro
also subjects of much surprise and remark. There can be no
doubt that a war is in project—but With whom the people
here arc entirely at a loss to conjecture.”—CA$r. Cour.
New-York, Nov. 6, 1845.
A little better business was done in Cotton yesterday, al
though there were few shipper* in market. Probably 600
bales were sold altogether, but not more than 200 of them
for shipping. The decline in prices during the week is now
settled at § cent per lb. This has been caused, in a great
degree, by the prospect of a larger crop than was anticipa
ted two weeks ego, consequent upon the recent fine weather
at the South—the declining prices in all tbe Southern mar
kets, and t he arrival here within four days pest of6,000bale*.
The principal cause of the decline, however, is tbe unfavor
able prospect of the trade on tbe other side. The short har
vest renders it certain that the laboring dosses of England
will'have lees money than usual to expend for clothing, and
the exoports of yarns and cloths to the Contirteot, will be al
so greotly reduced from a similar cause—^be high price and
scarcity of broad. This is a heavy offset against toe flurry
in Flour aud Grain.—Cor. of the Charleston Courier.
PRINTING.—Qharlea the Second’* parliament passed an
act that only twenty printers should practise their art in tpe
kingdom. About six shillings current was paid for uM and
a lm 11'hours reading in 1685. -t,i^loeRf, Y *
