State, ns a Common School Fund, for the education of the
Poor, the amount of Capital Stock of the Banks of the State
of Georgia and Augustu held by tho State for the purposes
aforesaid, and all intermediate dividends declared thereon,
in proportion to the number of poor children whom the In
ferior Courts of this State may respectively report to the
Governor, on or before the fiflecnth day of October next.
And the said Courts shull cause correct lists of the poor chil
dren between the ages of eight and fifteen years of their re
spective counties to he made out, setting forth the names and
residences thereof, us to districts, who arc incapable of ob
taining the rudiments of an education without public aid ;
which lists shall be certified by said Inferior Courts, and

tioned.
2d. That in making distribution of the stocks according
to tho mode herein provided, if any fractional sums should

3d. That it shall he tho duty of the Grand Jury of each
county, nt the l-’nll term of each Superior Court, to examine
into the condition of the Common School Fund, allow such
amounts ns mny have been contracted by the Inferior Courts
or its authority, report what amount of suid fund has been
misapplied, lost, or otherwise unavailable, mid in case of any
loss, the same to be replaced by the mandates of the Supe
rior Courts to the Tux Collector of such county to assess an
amount on tho tax digest thereof, which shall lie equal in
amount to such loss, who shall proceed forthwith to collect
nud pny the same to the Inferior Court; to the end that the
fund hereby distributed nmy be permanent, and incapable of
impairment. And it slinll be the duty of the Inferior Court
of each county to report, or cause to he reported, to ihc

fail to perform the duties herein required.
5th. Thut tho Inferior Courts arc hereby prohibited from
selling, or otherwise disposing of the stock hereby appropri
ated and authorised to be transferred to suid Courts for the
purposes hciein specified.
From the Charleston Mercury.]
OUR POLICY (!) AS TO OREGON.
The readers of the Mercury know in what estimation we
hold tho Oregon Territory nnd the clear and unquestionable
title of the United Stutes to it. We need not repeat on that
head. But granting our title to be good, though disputed by
Great Britain, and granting that the country itself is as good
as the title, we propose, with these concessions, to consider
wlmt policy does interest, and then what policy does honor re
quire us to pursue.
On the score of interest, doubtless a policy which will with
most ccrtaiuty, at a cost proportionate to its value, secure to
us this land of promise, will he the best. Doubtless the Ore
gon territory, as well its any other object, may cost more
than it is worth. For instance, is it worth, at the most fu-
vorable estimate, a war with one of tho great powers of
Christendom?—and if it is, are wo sure to obtuin it by such
a war? Leaving out of the estimate, the misery nnd de
moralization of war, and considering it only a question of
money to be spent.—how' many millions of dollurs will it cost
the people of the United States to support a war with Great
Britain ? For the mere expense of the army and navy not
less than fifty millions a year. But this is only an item;—the
cost to the citizens in the destruction of commerce and indus
try, will he far greater.
Count up this cost through a series of years, and when you
have satisfied your love of round numbers,—then ask your
self, if we are sure by all this enormous waste of getting the
territory at last ? How indeed can wc gain Oregon by a
war ? As soon as it is declared, where will its boils full and
its fires kindle ? On the Canada frontier, on the Ocean, on
our seaboard.—any where hut in Oregon. There it will be for
tunate for our settlers, with a thousand miles of mountain
and wilderness between them and the Mississippi valley, if
they are let alone by the British occupants. If there is any
war there, it will be waged by tho settlers, unaided by any
militaiy expeditions from the United States. To say noth
ing of the impossibility of transporting armies with all their
cumbrous appendages across the wild and mountainous inter
vening country, we shall have quite too much on our bunds
at home to think of making campaigns in Oregon. We
shall not assure our “exclusive jurisdiction” there by war.—
That will be the very last battle field. We must couquer
Great Britain in every clinic and every sea, before we meet
her in Oregon. We mast sweep England from Cuimdn—
wc must demolish her fleets that cover every sea—we must
trample under foot the flag anil the pride of tho Anglo-Saxon
in Europe, before we can have time or means to take pos
session of our estate beyond the ltocky Mountains. Now,
not seeing how wc shall accomplish ull this, wc do not sec
how the United States will obtain Oregon by war, even if it
be thought worth the cost of war.
But. our honor inay demand war, nnd (hen of course cost
and consequences are of little moment. Wliut has Great
Brituin done? She hns extended the protection of her laws
over her subjects in Oregon. She has not attempted in any
way to molest our citizens in that country, or to contravene
the terms of our treaty made with her in 182G. Can honor
require ns to do more than Great Britain has done ? If we,
as she Im3 done, extend our laws over our citizens in Ore
gon, what more does honor require ? Neither this nor any
precceding Administration has complained that Great Brit
uin hns in the slightest degree ever violated any of our trea
ty stipulations with her respecting Oregon. Nothing tojusti-
fy retaliation, or to demand precipitancy on our part. Hon
or then mny demand that we go ns far as she has gone in es
tablishing control in Oregon, but it cun require no more.
For these reasons we submit that neither interest nor hon
or require that we should give the one year’s notice stipula
ted in the ttcaty of 182(5, preparatory to taking exclusive
possession of Oregon. But there are other considerations
that also condemn this course. It hns been only within a
few years that our people have turned their eyes to Oregon.
They arc now passing the mountains in a stream of coloni
zation, and in a few years will have the mastery ofthe coun
try. Is it not folly to arrest this natural course of things, by
which the territory must inevitably and peaceably become
ours,—because we will peaceably have secured a foothold in
it which war cannot touch ?
But still higher considerations urge us to forbear any hasty
movement, which will give Great Britain the advantage in a
contest for Oregon,—if a contest is unavoidable. The nn-
tion which gives thc.notice for the termination of the Conven
tion of joint occupancy, must follow it up by enforcing its
jurisdiction over the country. If this is not the design, it is
mere trifling to give the notice. And if it is the design, as
the President leaves no reason to doubt, then wc become the
aggressor,—we break the pcuce of the world. Now, why
should we take this position when neither policy nor honor re
quires it? Under the Convention of 1826, we nre gaining
strength every day, unci Great Britain is losing it.
The country is inevitubly and rapidly falling under our
power, without cost and without blued, and neither cost nor
blood cun now win it. Let us leave Great Britain to act the
aggressor, if she chooses to do so. Let her give the notice
of the termination of the Convention of 1826, nnd then at
tempt lo enforce her jurisdiction over our people in Oregon.
If she does jo, wc will light for iho tight, und in the mean-
lime will begaining power for the contest. If she does not
move in the matter, the territory will surely and naturally he
ours.
Whilst therefore wc disapprove of that portion of the
President’s Message which recommends the year’s notice of
the termination of the Convention of 18215, preparatory to ex
tending our “exclusive jurisdiction” over Oregon, with its
certain consequence,—war,—we approve of so much of it as
ndvises the extending of our laws over our citizens there,—
which is no more thnnGreat Britain hns done. It may also
he advisable to raise and so to dispose an additional military
force, us to protect the emigrants on their way to Oregon, ns
the readiest and most peaceable way of advancing the set
tlement of the question. If there he uuy wisdom in our
councils, it will he settled by one of two ways—emigration
or arbitration. It cannot be settled advuntageously to us, by
war.
There is no dearth of crime in New York. 11,404 arrests
have been made by the police during the last three months.
NO. 17.
A w,v Case—Death of a Lady.—The Rich
mond (V a.) I imes has the following notice of the death of a
lady, which occurred in that city Inst week :
“A lady representing herself us Mrs. Agnes Thompson,
front Philadelphia, not long since arrived und took up her
abode in the lower part of the city. She was young—about
24 years of age—very pretty, and showed all the indications
ol gentle breeding. She was a stranger to all the neighbors
on her arrival, but they soon bccumc acquainted with her.
she soon fell ill—her disensc consumption; hut the kindness
ol her neighbors mitigated, as far as possible, the horrors of
her condition.—She hud with her two young children, a son
and daughter. Her neighbors of course felt a natural curi
osity to learn something, of her history; but all thut they
could glean from her was, that she had been attached and
enguged to a gentleman when n girl; that her parents ob
jected to the match, and that she afterwards married another.
While in her lust illness, a gentleman visited her several
times under circumstnnces of great mystery. He entered
the room on one occasion, while one of the neighbors was
present. As soon ns he discovered the presence of a stran
ger, he endeavored to conceal his fuce—walked up to the bed
kissed the sick lady, asked her some questions, when the
neighbor, not wishing to embarrass their intereoiiroe, left
the room. Whenever this gentleman visited her, he left her
supplies of money. On the 21st ult., she fell a victim to her
relentless disease, lcavinsr two small children dependent up
on the charities of neighbors. 1
“ We make this statement at the request of one of the
neighbors, in order to acquaint Iter friends with the fate of
this inUtcrious female.”
Government Patronage.— 1 There arc 33,000 persons in
the pay of the Federal Government, and 54,000 in that of
the vurious State Governments—and these may be supposed
to maintain on the average three persons each, making an
aggregate of 261,000 deiiendunts on the public puise.° In
New York there arc 400 persons employed in the Custom
House. In August, 1845, there were 4000 applications for
office ut New York, or 0 applicants for each office. If the
same proportion exists elsewhere, these 87,000 office holders
would represent nearly 800,000 men engaged in promoting
the success of their |mrty, with the hope of obtaining office.
Double this number and you have an army of 1,600,000 men,
actively enguged iu the corruptions of purtizan political war
fare.
Affairs in Canada.—We learn that des|intches to
Lord Metcalfe came in the last steamer from Liverpool, au
thorising him to return home, in consequence of his indispo
sition. It is said that ho intended to have left Montreal on
Wednesday, whence he will proceed to Albany, and by tho
Western railroad to Boston. State rooms have been en
gaged for him on board the Britannia, which will lenve Bos
ton next Monday, Lord Cuthcart, the communder of tho
forces, will act as Gov. General till a successor to Lord Met
calfe arrives from England.—J\ r . Y, Herald.
Earthquakes.—Sixty-one earthquakes have occurred or
the coust of Chili. An earthquake ut Lisbon, the capital o
Portugal, in 1775, shook nil the seas of Europe, the nortl
of Africa, and the West Indies, and even Lake Ontario
It lasted only six seconds, but in that time it destroyed out
quarter of the dwelling houses, all the public buildings, nnr
30,000 inhabitants of Lisbon. During an earthquake al
Lima, the officers of a ship says that the ship was violently
tossed, the surface of the water boiled, nnd was covered witl
ffslies. One of the chain cables belonging to the ship suf
fered partial fusion, lit 1765, three quarters of the city o
Lima, and 120,000 of its inhabitants were destroyed by ui
earthquake. J
Important.—The Boston Post says:—“Wc lmve good
ground for believing tlint the English Government will im
mediately recall Mr. Packcnhnni, who it is understood, hns
been placed hors da combat iu the negotiation about Oregon
with Mr. Buchunau, and send n new Minister to this country
to adjust the difference between the two nutions upon n.ore
liberal terms than have heretofore been insisted upon by
Greut Britain.”
The New-York Journal of Commerce confirms the above
Prison Business.—The State Prison or Penitentiary ol
Louisiana is easily managed, it would scetn. The following
paragraph, front the New Orlenns Times, shows how:
“The Penitentiary at this place is leased for five years, tc
several gentlemen of Kentucky. They |iay nothing to the
State; they take all the material on hand from the State at u
fair valuation, nnd retain the mnteriul they nmy have on
hand, at the expiration of their lease. The State ulso loaned
the lessees $15,000, nt six per cent, interest, to enable them
to make a beginning in the manufacture of bagging and rope,
It is understood the system works well, and that it will he
quite profitable to tho lessees. The most |irofitable brand
carried on is the cotton factory, and it would he still more so
if the factory were enlarged sufficient to employ the entire
force of the Penitentiary.”
Congressional Proceedings by Telegraph. W»
made arrangements, a few dnys since, for a daily rc|)ort of tin
proceedings of Congress, to he forwarded by the “Magnetic
Telegraph” uftcr the adjournment of Congress, so that u<
shall publish the proceedings as soon as they do in Washing
toil. Both houses of Congress usuully adjourn about four oi
five o’clock P. M. The report will then he made up nni
transmitted to this city. The provision is lo have this worl
commence about the 15th of January.—Philadelphia Ga
zclle.
of
The Tallahassee Floridian states tlint five or six samples
Sea Islund Cotton raised in Middle Florida, were exhib
ited in that jilace, and declared by competent judges to he
worth from 22 lo 30 cents a pound. Tho best specimen
was raised on a light sundy soil, which produced about 325
pounds to the acre.
Tiie Oregon Question.—Rumors and anticipations in
regard to the President’s Message, had occasioned some ex
citement oil this subject. It was rumored thut the President
would take high ground, even higher than that of his inau
gural address. The subject, it is said, had occiqiied u great
ilcul of the attention ofthe British Cabinet, during their lute
frequent nnd protracted sittings. Willtner &. Smith re
mark: “There appears to he something very warlike in the
wind, for the activity on the sen board, and in the naval ursc-
nuls, is as steady and unremitting as when we noticed the
subject a month or six weeks ago.”
Hudson's 13 ty Produce.—Tiie annual importations of furs and
skins by llie Hudson’s Bay Company from that quarter bail just la-
ken place. One of their vessels, Hie I’rlnce Albert, arrived iu the
London dueks two or three dnys ago, und llie oilier vessel, the I’rinco
Rupert, arrived a few days previously, with immense cargoes of every
description ol iho most valuable furs and skins of unimuls abounding
in that place.
