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. Tho three beneficiaries who accompanied^ me to the Asy- P3Mk"te LETS, HAMMERS, 1 VV&1GUT * STETSON. lum in April, 1844, were provided with clofhjng barely sui cient for the purposes p 1 f traveling. The Steward was di rected to furnish them. The two other beneficiaries, who were already inmates of the Asylum, were in ur >D *•** 3HTA STETSON. as4 Irons, ' It STETSON 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 reference to Steward’s account, marked (voucher 8:) cregy*—• ■sMiirWrtwt- rtHHSSL orwkhb willbuwU low cilr, by hiiMxufiiis, audits. .

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.

About six shillings current was paid for uM and a lm 11'hours reading in 1685. -t,i^loeRf, Y * Society punishes not tbe vices of ks members, but tbeir detection; like tbe SpartUnS, who punished the discovery of theft, and not tbo crime. so take your cboioe.’ 'Go ahead,' said tbo other, *1 bed ra ther All six gaxettef then on* coflln.’
