REPORT ON THE PENITENTIARY. The r**di-r will flml on the Aral p«jre of <mr paper Ihe Majority Report of ilia Joint ponding CommiUea on (tie Ponitemiary, presented to tlio Home of llepie. ■entativea oifSjtnrd.iy last, by Mr. Owen of Talbot. The resder cannot.hut bo airnclt with the plain and in telligible manner in which tho Report ia written, and the evidnneo there given of a fair and impartial invea. ligation of tho inatltution. There are no Blnlemeitta a 1 random, nor jumping at roncluaiona—no allcmpta nt concealment whatever, but the whole transaction* of the institution aro presented, conclusions are drawn, and wholesome recommendations made to the Legisla ture. Ono of them, in particular, ought, by all means, lobe adopted, and it ia that ono for the appointment of Commissioners to appraise at regular periods the raw materials, notes, accounts, and other assets of the Pen itentiary. Under the present system, large amounts of assets aro turned over Irmn one set of officors to anoth er, altogether or comparatively worthless. The last of ficer having them rcporlB them at the same amount at which ho received them from his predecessor—conse quently tho people are deceived; and suppnso the Pen itentiary has a largo amount of availabb assets, when, perhaps, from age, or some other cause, they are not worth ten cents in the dollar. By the change proposed, this state of things will no longer exist, and those in terested .an at any time know tho true condition of the institution. Mr. Wofford, from the Minority Committee, (himself and five others) made a counter Report, which we ex pect to publish in our next. We aro sorry that we can not speak of this report as the one above. But candour prompts 113 to say, that it has not the characteristics of investigation, frankness, or fair and opcu dealing—in fine, it is a one aided, parly affair. The committee set out with the proposition that convict labor cannot be made profitable—and without present, ing in their report, (as tho majority did) the whole transactions of the Penitentiary, the amount of assets received from the old officers, tho amount of assets now on hand, the labor done, &e., tho committee, after charging the present officers with what they have received, tail to give them credit for wliat they have done and the assets they have, so a9 to make good the assertion, that “it cannot be reasonably ex pected that the public can profit by criminals.” And in doing this, near $30,000 of materials and assets are left out of the credit side, which the maiorily commit, tcc say tho present officers are entitled to—and rel ative to which there ought to be no difference, as it is a mere question of fad—which tho materials and as sets in the Penitentiary at any moment show. But wo learn that, on motion of Mr. Wofford, the Majority and Minority Reports have been recommitted to the Joint Standing committee on tho Penitentiary— and hoping that Gen. Wofford and others with liitn,have seen their error, and will withdraw their report, wo shall conclude fur the present. TJ* Mr. Geoiige G. Henry, Commission Merchant ] at Mobile, Ala, in a circular of the 5th inst., estimates ' the present cotton crop of <tlie U. States at 3,150,000 bales. After giving the most liberal estimates admiss ible from the information lie has gathered by personal observation, and from what he has been able to procuro from sources which ho considers entitled to the most credit, Mr. H. estimates the crop thus—Atlantic States 500.000 j Florida 140,000 ; Alabama440,000 and Now Orleans 1,070,000 bales—total 2,150.000. lie seems to think the price of cotton this season will bo better than the last, from the fact that there is not so much made, and from the increase of Manufactures. From data, he estimates the consumption for 1340 at 3,311,. 000 bales—to complete this, estimates 1,100,00 bales stock itt Europo on 1st January, 1946, United States stock 94,000, crop of 1845, 2,150,000, crop of East In dies, &c., 510,000—total 3,854,000 ; leaving stock in Europe and in ihe United States on the 1st January, 1847, 513,000 hales. The Hon. Rice Garland, one of the Judges of the Court in Louisiana, having been charged with forgery and the evidence being tolerably sttong against him, attempted to commit suicide, by throwing himself from a steamboat in the Mississippi. He was, however, res cued. <£rovjjto zugtoiaturr. SENATE. Monday, Dec. 15. rTho proceedings of thin day, noticed iu Tuesday's paper, arc omitted.] BILLS PASSED.
