It n now filly years since the ship Columbia
( ‘a ttain Kendrick, and the sloop Washington, bl
sij /if tons burthen, as tender to the ship,
fitted out at, and sailed from Boston, on a
Vnage of trade and discovery round the world,
■'tea* was the first enterprise of the kind, and was
r. owned with success. There arc circumstan
ces attending it that are fresh in our memory;
and worthy of record. When the expedition
arrived at the North-West Coast, Capt. Kcn
ilm-k tinned his back on his country —prevailed
on a number of seamen to join him, took pos
**asioo of the sloop Washington, and refused to
return. Capt. Robert Cray then took command
of the Columbia, and continued the voyage.—
‘On hi* return he called at the different clusters
of Islands in the South Seas, and among the
rest at the Sandwich, where, as well as in Other
places, he inet with the most friendly attentions
from the natives, particularly at Owyhee, where
their King resided. Sucii was the confidence
placed iu Capt. Gray, by king and people,
that they permitted him to bring away with him
to Boston, their crown prince, fully relying on
his promise to return him to them. The ship
was absent upwards of three years, and had not
been heard from for a long portion of the time,
when in the summer of 1790, iu a fine Afternoon,
we bad just arrived at Boston fiom Worcester,
when a strange ship bearing the stars and stripes
of our country arrived abreast of the castle and
fired a national salute, which was promptly re
turned by that fortress.
The firing was distinctly heard anil seen froifi
Boston, but no one could imagine what ship it
was, bearing our country’s llag, and doing and
receiving such honor. The inhabitants were
all in motion, and coming to the long wharf by
thousands; in the interim the ship wus recognis
ed, ami the artillery ordered out. As she came
tb anchor off the end of the wharf, the delighted
multitude rent the air with joyful acclamation,
while salvos of artillciy shook the neighboring
hills, and the astonished people hurried into the
city to join the general joy. The ship having
returned the salute of the city, the custom-house
barge was manned', when the venerable Gen.
Lincoln, collector of the port, w ith the owners of
the Columbia, repaired on board, and after bid
ding a hearty welcome to Capt. Gray and his
princely mes.-a'iiger, they all returned to the wliarl
together, when the air again rung with loud ac
rlaiin. and the artillery again poured forth its
thunder. The prince, who was an Apollo in
p rsonal svmin* try and beauty, was dressed in a
lieluiet of the ancient Roman form, covered with
small feathers of the most beautiful plumage,
which glittered in the sun, while on the body la
w-ore a close dress, not visible except the sleeves,
and over it a large and flowing robe, in the form
of the toga, made of cloth, covered with feathers
[wisely like the helmet. In this splendid cos
tume. he took the aruv of Capt. Gray, and a pro
cession ltcing formed, they marched to Gov. Han
cock’s, who had sent bis adjutant-general to bid
them welcome. After a residence of some months
the ship was refitted, ami with the seme com
mander, returned the prince in safety to his
country and friends. lienee sprung all that
friendly intercourse be tween those happy Islanders
and the United States, to w hom they are indebt
ed foe civ (fixation and the uselu! arts which are
making rapid progress among them. — Cincinna

THE W'Alt—-TitK CATHOLICS.
Wc copy with more thfln ordinary gratifica
tion the subjoined exiract from an able leader in
the Catholic Telegraph—the Catholic organ ot
this city, edited ly the Rev. Edward Turcell,
the brother of this district. It is replete with no
blc arntiiucnts of Patriotism: such as we expect
ed with confidence from that res|octed source. It
breathes the true American spirit, and vve be
lieve speaks the general sentiment of the Catlio
|ir people. —Cincinnati Union.
Onr diitiee, however, are now to be strictly
fulfilled. The die is cast, the sword is drawn,
and every man must enter with all his heart into
‘he contl ct, with an untiinchiiig determination to
-any the flag of the Union with triumph and hon
or through t.he storm of war. Henceforth, until
peace bo restored, our great objev.t mast, be, to
defend hv'-very meanr iu our power the national
rause. Kvery privation must be sustained, eve
rv call must be responded to \Vith alacrity, every
h ind ready to carr; out the designs of those vvlio
direct the destinies ol the Republic, during the
davsofperil. Any other feeling than this would
be contrary to the allegiance which we owe to
the constitution, and which the Government has
how mere so, if possible, than at any* other time
t right to demand.
To the Catholic timeri; vve are confident, the
bonntrv will not appeal iu vain. It is natural that
wc should regret the emergency, which compels
•as to take tip arms cf the same faith, blit if the
Oregon c,u slio’i had. provoked war with Eng
land, onr Protestant f< llow-ctizcns would have
been placed in the same position, which we oc
cupy at present; and as they would not allow
their ainidaritv of creeds to extinguish their pa
triotism. neither should the Catholic citizen per
mit any objection of the kind to interfere with hi*
devotion to his native or adopted country. It is
not a question of Religion,’ blit of war which we
are now called upon to determine, and though wc
should belic’ C that many great evils would be
fal our Church by the prosecution of this war, yel
this would not justify onr withholding from tin
‘•powers that be,” that shbjectihd and ready obe
dience which is due from every citixeii to tiic go
vernment, entitled to Iu allegiance.
Catholics understand well tlicir duty on this
point, for it iscerlain.th.il if war should .be pro
claimed by the United States, against til , Sover
eign Pontiff, as a temporal Prince, it would be
the duty ot every Catholic, as it happened of old,
to carry war into the Roman States, and into that
“Eternal City” for which we entertain such high
and Indy veneration. \Yfc believe ?nost truly,
Uist if any field of battle be lost in the present
war, it will not be through the faithlessness ol
the Catholic citizens. This is a time, when in
accordance with the President’s proclamation,
we should endeavor to propagate feelings of true
concord among all ‘ lapses, and leant to submit
with greater patience than ever, to the taunts
•nd opprebic.us observations which are made by
rone to us, on account of the religion We pro
fes*.
Out whilst we endeavor to do our duty to the
Republic as citizens, w e should iibt forget that
victorv is in the hands of Ilim who rulelh over
all. \Ve should invoke his blessing on the coun
try, the rulers, and people, and pray above all
things els that peace may soon return to bless
the land and bind in Christian union the citizens
of both Republics.
THE GU.IVEYARD.
The following el<>iuont anl beautiful extract
is from “The Village Graveyard,” written by
h# Rev. Mr. Greenwood, of Boston:
“I never shun a graveyard; the thoughtful
melancholy which it inspires is grateful rather
than disagreeable to’ :ne; it gives me no pain to
tread mi the green root of that dark mansion,
whose chambers 1 must occupy soon; and I of
ten wander from choice to a place where there
is solitude nor society—something hu
inanV there; but the folly, the bustle, tjns vani
ties. tV-’ pretensions, the pride of luinihility are
gone—tmen arc there, but the passions are hush
ed, and 1 their spirits are still, malevolence has
lost its power of harming, appetite is sated, am
bition lie*i low, and lust eoldr anger has done
Taxing. allNlisputes are end fß, all revelry is over.
Ihe (client animosity buried and the
most dangerous sins a/e safely confined by the
thickly piled a|ods valley; vice is dumb
and powerless, kiyfr virtue is waiting iu silence
for the trump ojKhe archangel, and the voice of

AN EXTREMELY MYSTERIOUS
CASE OF POISONING
The brig Ganges, Captain Brown, arrived
here on the 29th April, from New York. On
arrival the Captain and most of the crew were
suffering severely from sickness, arising from
constant vomiting. Their condition was such
n3 to make it necessary to give the command of
the vessel to another captain (Bertrand) and
the crew was also changed. The water and
provisions shipped in New York were landed
and a fresh supply put on board of her. The
vessel was cleared hence for Marseilles, on the
16th ult, and proceeded on her voyage. After
tho crew had eaten their first meal at sea they
were seized with severe vomiting, so much so
as to incapacitate them from performing any du
ty on board.
In this condition the vessel was foUqjl by the
towboat Porpoise, which brought her dp to the
Point, when the crew, provisions and Water
were again changed; She proceeded to sea a
second time on the 26th ult ; and whefi outside the
Passes the captain and crew Were again seized
w ith the same vomiting. In this state the ves
drifted into,the West Bay, where Captain Ber
trand spoke an oyster boat and offered the crew
of the latter S4O to bring a letter to the Balize.
Tho oyster boat soon afterwards met the tow
boat Hercules and requested her captain to
lend assistance to the Ganges. The Hercules
did so, and brought the brig up to the Poilit, op
posite the city; the day before yesterday mor
ning, at 3 o’clock, the first mate; Mr. Charles
Fitzsimmons; died, and was buried in the after
noon. Captain Bertrafad and the rest of the
crew arc still suffering seventy from constant
and excessive vending.
From which wc have
had with some inislliirm^F shipmasters, we find
that their opinion vessel herself must
be in an impure that her cargo will
have to be dischaimpg|nind her hold, cabin, etc.,
thoroughly purifi®. ‘fifais is an extremely cu
rious case, surpHHng understanding, and
we should be pleased if of our sfhi’uring
friciids would solve the mystery for us.

SpArVy VS. I*AjjjOrOTISM.
There are Versons and jwses in this coun try
who never liiAthe covmßy in the right; and
who, in their hostility to their rivals,
frequently ding into the arms of the
national enemy. sneer at this war with
Mexico is the fmro ritV occupation with some of
the that retch us. To denounce it,
as unriglUKus, is the crista nt business of others.
Yet Maßfi,.'Wrcnging aim robbing our citizens
for twfuty yehrs, deserved Ja he punished by us,
even if there had been nP Texas at all: and
these very presses have, until this moment, de
nounced the Government as imbecile for not re
pressing our people by the strong arm, for all the
treacheries and wrongs which the Mexicans have
indicted on them. There is not less bliildness
and badness ol heart in the writers who deal in
this sort of warfare against.the action of the na
tion. The action of the nation, once adopted
and begun, with reference toa foreign and hos
tile naVpn, must be sustained at all hazards by a
pat *’ i> ( ‘peop[c. It will not do, at such a period,
to 7;-ivc wouhl have had it otherwise.” _ We
mi C ikeep the nation intact and undishonored,
lether follow ot\r opinions or not. And where
this is n<sl ‘the principle,—where party becomes
so blind arid Insane, as to fail in this proper pat
riotism, the nation revenges it terribly on the
offender. The presses that thus deal in constant
sneer and censure of what is done by the existing
Government against tfe foreign enemy, mistake
greatly the temper of our people. They do not
sufficiently allow for the natural sympathies of
the great mass who are not politicians by pro
fession, and make no trade or sacrifice of the
local affectiori*. These never forgive the bare
show of hostility to the canse of the country—
whether right or wrong; and, if they do not rise
in their fury, and rend the cold and selfish assail
ant of the national progress, they hold him in a
degn e of distrust and loathing, which makes it
self felt, in some manner, through all succeeding
time. Many of the presses of this country are
conducted by Englishmen,—many of the corrcs
iKind'Mitsof the press are from England. Good
taste and good sense equally suggest, to all such,
the propriety of forbearing topics, in the dis
cussion of which, it is equally evident and natu
ral, that their sympathies cannot be with the soil.
SHAVING A NOTE.
Old Skinflint was the most celebrated broker
in Philadelphia—his “shaving” operations were
famous, as he generally took oil’ not only beard
and whiskers, but “ a pound of flesh” in addition.
Young Harry Scarum was one of those dashing
chaps who love wine and horses, and who form
the majority of great army of borrowers. Har
ry, having wants, on various occasions borrowed
of Skinflint, at three per cent, a month “ off" —
and having, at sundry periods, made “raises,”
paid oil’ bis responsibilities. At last lie got tired
of such constant borrowing and repaying. It
would be six years lie fore bis estates could be sold,
under the terms of his father’s will, who had
prudently postponed that event until Harry would
reach the age of “ thirty,” and Harry concluded
it would he better to make a heavy operation at
once, and he rid of the bother of continual bor
rowings. Away to Skinflint lie hied, determined
to procure a good round sum and be done with it*
“ I want ten thousand for six years.”
“ Hem ! what security will you give 1”
“Oh,you may have my bond—that will bind
my property.” v .
“Hem! what discount will you give ? You
know my rule is, always to take the discount‘off,’
—besides, you owe mo thousand due to-day, and
l lent you ‘a ten’ in the street the other day.”
“ I won’t pay what I’ve been paying,—one and
a quarter per cent, a month is enough. You
may take it * off,’ and take out what I owe you
besides.”
“ llem! well, here’s a bond for SIO,OOO at six
years—sign it, and it’ll be all right.”
“No sooner said than done. Harry affixed
his autograph, and hummed a tune, whilst Skin
flint got out his check-book, and made a calcula
tion.
“ Have you got ten dollars about you 1” said
he, in a moment; if so, let me have it.”
“All right, my old boy,” said Harry, suppos
ing he wanted it to “make change,”—“here it
is.”
“ Hem ! honi!” said Skinflint, locking up liis
desk, and making preparations “to shoot.”
“Stop, old fellow!” said Harry, “where’s
my moiicy ?’’
“ Your money ! oh! why, you’ve got it.”
“ Got it! what do you mean 1”
“ Why, I was to take off the discount, wasn’t
wasn’t I, and the thousand 1”
“ Yes, but I want my money.”
“ Why, my dear fellow, you’ve got it. Ten
thousand at one and a quarter a month, for six
years, is nine thousand- —a thousvnd you owed
me—and you’ve just paid the tem ; it’s all right,
m'y dear boy— a fair business transaction /”

REAL GREATNESSi
He who possesses the divine powers of tlie
soul, is a great being, be his place where it may.
You may clothe him with rags, chain him to the
slavish tasks—but he is still great. You may
shut him out of your house, but God opens to
him heavenly mansions. He makes no show
indeed in the streets of a splendid city, but a clear
thought—a pure a flection, a resolute act of a
virtuous life, will have a dignity of quite another
kind and iur higher than accumulations of brick,
and granite, of plaster and stucco, however cun
ningly put together, or though a stretch ihg far
beyond our sight. Nor is this all. Ideal great
ness lias nothing to do with a man’s sphere. It
docs not lie in the magnitude of his own out
ward agency in the extent of the effect which it
produce. Perhaps the greatest men in our city,
at this moment, are buried in obscurity. Grand
eur of character is wholly in the force of thought,
moral principal and love, and this may be found
in the humblest condition of file. A man brought
up to an gjjscure trade, and hemtneiied in by the
wants of a growing family, may in this narrow
sphere perceive more clearly, discriminate more
keenly, weigh evidence more wisely, seize on the
right means more decisively, have more presence of
mind in difficulty than another who has accumula
ted vast stores of know ledge by laborious study, &
he haS more of intellectual greatness. Many a
man who has gone but a few miles lroui home,
understands human nature be■ ter, detect motives
and weighs character more sagaciously, than an-
other who has travelled over the known world,
and makes a name by his reports of different
countries.
It is the force of thought which measures in
tellectual, and so it is force of principle that mea
sures moral greatness, that highest of huma.fi
endowments, that brightest manifesto of the di
vinity. The greatest man is he who chooses
the right with invincible resolution, who resists
the sore temptations from within and without,
who bears the most heavy burdens cheerfully,
who is calmest in storms and fearless under me
nace and frowns, whose reliance on truth, on
virtue, on God, is most unfaltering—is this
a greatness which is apt to make a show, or
which is most likely to abound in conspicuous
stations.— Wm. I'. C/tanning.

SONG OF THE VOLUNTEERS.
BT T. 31. SLAUGHTER
*******
We go where the brave are in battle contending,
And Freemen in triumph, their banner unfold,
Where true fearless spirits their rights are delfend
.
And Victory smiles on the arms of the bold.
Wc go where the claymore of Liberty sunders
The chains that were forged by Tyranny’s hand ;
Where war-clouds discharging their fierce battle
thunders,
Are rending the hills of the dark Rio Grande.
VVe go where the armies of freedom arc pouring,
Each heart iron-nerved, and undaunted each eye;
IFhere the proud battle-eagle in triumph is soar
ing!
And screaming its war-cry of “Conquor or die !”
Above us is streaming the Banner of Glory,
That pointed our Fathers to Liberty’s Star;
Its full-blazoned folds relate the glad story
Os Freemen triumphant iu Liberty’s TVslt.
Still tyrant’s before that proud banner shall trem
ble.
As brightly it gleams o’er the ranks of the brave;
For pledged arc the hearts that around it assem
ble
To bear it triumphant, or sink in the grave.
From dark Rio Grande to the deep, rolling ocean,
From bleak Northern Heights to the Mexican Sea,
Shall rise the dread trampling of Freemen in mo
tion,
And peal the loud shouts from the hearts of the
free.
Then onward we move at the trumpet’s shrill call
ing,
Adoring our blood-purchased Freedom, wre fly
Where brave men and true in fierce battle are fall
ing—
This stamped on our hearts—we will “CONQUOR
OR DIE !”

FOREIGN PERIODICALS;
RE PUBLIC ATION OF
The London Quarterly Review—The Edin
burgh. Rcview-r- The Foreign Quarterly
Review—The Westminster Review, and
Blackwood’s Edinburgh. Magazine,
The abuve Periodicals are reprinted in New
York, immediately on their arrival by the British
steamers, in a beautiful clear type, ou fine white
paper, and are faithful copies of the originals—
Black\vocl’f} Magazine bemoan exact sac-simile
of the Edinburgh edition.
The wide-spread fame ofthese splendid Peri
odicals renders it needless to say much in their,
praise. As literary organs, they stand far in ad
vance of any works of a similar stamp now pub
lished, while the political complexion of each is
marked by a dignity, candor and forbearance not
often found in works of a party character.
They embrace the views of the three great
parties in England— Whig, Tory and Radical.—
“ Blackwood” arid the “London Quarterly” are
Tory; the “Edinburgh Review,” Whig: and the
“Westminster” Radical. The “ Foreign Quar
terly” is purely literary, being devoted princi
pally to criticisms on foreign Continental works.
The prices of the re-prints are less than one
third of those of the foreign copies, and while
they are equally got up, they afford all that ad
vantage to the American over the English reader.

PRESENTMENTS.
Os the Second Panel qf the Grand Jury, at May
Term 1846.
Grand Jury Room, )
Muscogee Superior Court, May Term, 1846. J
Y\ 7 E the Second Panel of the Grand Jury,
* V for the present Term after diligently ap
plying ourselves to the duties imposed on us as the
Grand Inquest of said county, have to state that
■ma have now brought our labors to a close, and
desire to present our views and the result of our
deliberations to the Courl and people of this
county. But before entering upon our report, we
would state that the proceeding qf the first pan
el have our entire and hearty concurrence. It
seems to U3, that they have examined with fideli
ty and ability all matters brought to view by
them. And here we would earnestly call atten
tion to that part of their presentments which re
late to the poor school fund with the view of sug
gesting some inode for its being greatly enlarged
and faithfully applied.
It is with pain and sorrow, that we noti’co the
large number of children in this county depen
dent on charity for instruction, whilst the fund
set apart by the State and county for the purpose
of education is so entirely inadequate, if so
a port ; on of our population remain in ig
norance, misery and crime Will take up their a
brtde in our midst, which shall be like a broad
stream incessantly .flowing across the bosom of
our favored land, bftter as the waters of Marra.
It is upon the schooling of the masses, the per
manence of our institutions mainly depend, light
and knowledge “arc indispensable as the elec
tive franchise is the fundamental element of pop
ular Government, indeed it is tlie Corner stone
of republican freedom, then let the cry rtf'* Give
us Cultivation,” go forth from this to every
county in the State and may the echo of that
voice be in time heard rebounding from the lakes
of Canada, and from the borders of the Rio
Grande.
Among the matters left untouched by the first
panel for our investigation are the Roads and
Bridges, we find them in passable order, except
the following: Ist, The Bridge across Bull creek
on the St. Marys’ ltoad; is in a bad condition,
and if not soon attended to, will be rendered
useless, the Bridge across a small stream oppo
site the plantation of Mr. Madison Dancer, is in
Want of repairs, as also a Bridge on the Lump
kin road, Over IV ooltblk’s Mill creek, about 12
miles below Columbus, this latter bridge is rep
resented to us as being in a condition so bad that
tOjCross it is endangering the lives of travellers.
The road leading to Capt. Butts’ Mills, common
ly known as the old Macon Road, together with
a bridge thereon needs attention. As the over
seers of these several roads, (if there be any ap
pointed) seems to be remiss in the discharge of
their duties. We would respectfully recommend
to the Inferior court, to give this part ot their
business without delay, a full and thorough in
vestigation.
Thq/evil of trading with negroes, we have rea
sons to believe is carried on in our midst to an
alarming extent, there are small trading shops in
our city-, said to depend mainly for their support
on the traffic of selling liquor and other trumpe
ry of but little value to this class of our popula
tion and receiving by way of barter some commo
dity which is not unfrequntly Stolen. Negro
w’igonert from the country, have been kuown to
seif a part of the supplies intended for their
teams as forage to obtain spirit. In the winter
this class of persons create a considerable trade
and at times are the best customers at those
sinks of iniquity. This is a vice which is found
difficult to suppress as it is generally carried on
with much caution, for fear of detection, we
doubt not, however, but the filischicf might be
abated if not entirely eradicated through the vig
ilance of our Marshal and other officers of the
city, we therefore earnestly make our appeal to
them, and desire that they put forth their utmost
endeavors to crush this great and abominable
crime.
This Grand Jury are likewise impressed with
the conviction that the oft'cnce of Gambling is of
great and terrifying prevalence in our City, of all
the evils fastened upon our community this is
believed to be the worst. It is corrupting in its
tendencies, indeed it is daily manifesting its
baneful influence upon society, as it is destroying
the morals and characters of some of our best
young men and clerks. Now, we blieve that Ihe
strong arm of the Law consists in the determina
tion of our good citizens to lend their aid to such
persons as will pursue the offender with energy
and effect, and in the course of time they will
either disappear or be compelled to yield to the
forcible gripe of justice-
Whilst upon this “subject ofgrievances it is prb
per here to say, that we notice and have ifoticed
for a length oftimd about oiir Streets ail insane
individual by the name of Reid, who in addition
to the danger of his going at large is a pdblic
nuisance, this Jury would therefore earnestly're
commend to the proper authorities to such
steps as may be legal & proper todthe end that he
he immediately sent to the- Lun: tic Asyluiii ot*
this State. v , v
We must also say. thdugh with extreme re
gret and rportificatjon, that (jifripg our present
service, we,’ have ‘ wftneeMjd’. soiiyething like a
criminal Reluctance on of many who
werejlrawy* and ujkGrand Jurors, in
performing-the duties of them. This
panel has been composed oi tfyfeje.
or four exceptions during our Avc
would therefore request his honor, in'order to
induce a more certain compliance with Mkie re
quisitions of the Law to visit such neglect of a
high public duty with certain legal and adequate
punishment.
In the course of oiir investigations wo have
examined the Court House and the condition of
it is such that although the subject has been fre
quently brought before the public notice of the
proper authorities by our predecessors, y r ct we
refrain from appealing most earnestly to the Infe
rior Court Upon the necessity of their adjfcngingfor
its speedy’ repairs. The house Jflßar# tra
ces of delapidation and of raphjgtkcay, from
leakage, the plastering is now irupi|tfling condi
tion in every room and the dsf§&r accruing
therefrom to the inmates we conceive to be
eminent. And whilst this is true of the build
ing, the neglect which marks the enclosure
is not less conspicuous, many of the trees that
were planted have died far want of cultivation
and nourishment, they ought to have been prun
ed and manured, the wild erbage and other poi
sonous weeds of the luxuriating there
should be supplanted by the Rose and the Ever
green. If our noble and costly structure contain
ing the Hall of Justice be the seat of intellect, and a
place for the display of learning, so should the
surrounding grounds, when beautified by art be
come the delightful promenades of recreation
and of meditation.
Having now finished, and although We have
performed those legal obligations devolving on
us under the sacred sanctions of our oaths to the
best of our capacities, in which it is attempted
to be shown that we labor to some extent under
evils and disabilities detrimental to the welfare
of society, still we feel that there are many rea
sons for being thankful in the continued favor of
Providence we have thb blessings of health, a
generous flow of the showers of heaven and the
prospect of an abundant crop, whilst we may
look with exulting satisfaction upon the gallant
conduct of our brave sons whose military en
thusiasm displaying itself in our city at this par
ticular juncture bear testimony to that Patriotism
and virtue in which the country will ever find
safety do well as being a just cause of bur pride
and glory. ... ,
But in the closing of our presentments we
must not omit, as it is certainly not our inten
tion to forget, returning our sincere thanks to
their Ifons. Judge Alexander, Judge Hill and
Judge Dougherty for their obliging and courte
ous deportment towards us, we congratulate the
county and circuit on the accession of his Honor
Judge Alexander to the bench, in him wo are
assured it will be found that the qualities Os a po
lished gentleman are only surpassed by his abil
ity and willingness to discharge his official du
ties.
To Mr. Campbell our Solicitor General, we
also feel'under many obligations for his urbanity
and readiness to respond to our call, having so
able and vigilant a prosecuting officer we look
confidently forward to a decrease in the list of
crime and to a higher state of morals consequent
the/eon.
We request that our presentments of a public
nature be published in the Gazettes of Colum
bus for the information of the citizens generally.

cluding §lO for lots, paid S R Andrews $40.-r
Amount in hands of he Chairman of the Commit
tee, $5 42. Afaking a total of $325.
It will be perceived by the above statement
that the sum of $325 has been received, for lots
sold, and 319 58 ofthat amount paid out fpt. ex
penses incurred in doing samo work, leaving 5
42 in the hands of thle Committee. There is *|ill
due the city on lots sold, about 100; but it?*
doubtful w hether mere than half the sum will
ever be collected from the fact that some of the
purchasers have left town, while some others rr
fuse to take the lots, and some others are proba
bly unable to pay for them. There is owing to
SR Andrews tor fencing sauTgro.uUd sss,deduct
ing from which amount the sum of $5 42 in tho
hand* of the Committee, leaves a balance stUl
wanted of 49 56, which amount we would re
commend to Council to of the first money
in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, as it
is exceedingly doubtful whether it can be collect
ed out of the afhount due for said lots this sum
mer, and in view of another fact, namely, that
he did the work exceedingly low, and has npw
waited for his money Some two months, when it
was to have been paid punctually when tho work
was done, and should have been, in view of all
the circumstances; immediately on its comple
tion. The Committee, however, after having
done their best to collect it, with the assistance
of the Marshal, have not been able to do it. The
amount due to said Andrews is all that is due on
the work. We recommend that the Clerk boro
quested to keep a book, in which he be required
to put down the names, in a plain, legible hand;
of all purchasers of lots from time to timo, and
that all money received be paid to the Treasurer,
who shall keep a seperate account of the sained
and keep it a distinct fund. All of which is re
spectfully submitted;
