i“Vab|sIiments dependent upon them, the execution of the acts of Congress rela- .1—onrl the views of the officers leveral branches of the nents The enlaced in the se sendee, concerning the improve me ns which may tend to their perfection, fortification of the Coasts, and the gradual increase and improvement of the Navy, are parts of a great system of national de fence, which has been upwards of ten years in progress, and which, tor a series of years to come, will coutttee to claim the constant & persevering protection and superintendence of the legislative authon- , \mong the measures which have emanated from these principles, tho Act *,ftlie last Session of Congress for the radual Improvement of the Navy, holds a conspicuous place. The collection of timber for lha future construction of ves sels of war;the preservation and repro duction of the species of timber peculiarly adapted to that purpose; ihe construction of Dry Docks for the use of the Navy;ihe ; arection of a Marine Railway for the re-| pair of the public ships; and the improve- j ment of the Navy Yards for the preserva- i tion of the public property deposited in j them ; have ail received from the Execu- j tive the attention required by that Act, | and will'coafcinue to receive it, steadily j grei*. m» well by my predecessors, k» under the impression of the duties devolving upon me by myself. Among these are the debt, rather of justice than gratitude, to the surviving warriors of the Revolutionary War ; the extention of ttie Judieial Administration of the Federal Govern ment to those extensive and imporant members of the Union, which havii.g risen into existence since the organization of the present Judiciary establishment, now constitute at least one-third of its territory, power, and population; the for mation ofa more effective and uniform system for the government ofthe Militia; iithe ameliora tion, in some form or modification, of the diven- fiedand often oppressive codes relating to insol vency. Amidst the multiplicity of topics of great national concernment, which may recommend themselves tothe calm and patriotic deliberations of the Legislature, it mav suffice to say, that, on these, and all other measures which may receive their sanction, my hearty co-oporation will be given, conformably to the duties enjoinpd upon me, and under the sense of all the obligations prescribed by the Constitution.

Practical seamanship and the art of navigation may be acquired upon the cruises of the squadrons which, from time to time, are dispatched to dis tant seas; but a competent knowledge, oven of the art of ship building, the high er mathematics aud astronomy ; the litera ture which cjn place cur officerson a level of polished education with the officers of other maritime nations ; the knowledge of the laws, municipal and national, which, in their intercourse with foreign States and their Governments, are continually called into operation ; and above all, that acquaintance with the principles of honor and justice, with the higher obligations of morals, and of general laws, human and divine, which constitute the great dis tinction between the warrior patriot, and the licensed robber and pirate ; these can be systematically taught and eminently acquired only in a permanent school, stationed upon the shore, and provided with the teachers, the instruments, and the books, conversant with &c adapted to the communication of the principles of these respective sciences to the youthful and inquiring mind. The report from the Postmaster General ex hibits the condition of that Department as highly satisfactory for the present, and still more pro mising for t e future. Its receipts for the year ending the first of July last amounted to one mil lion tour hundred and seventy-three thousand five hundred and fifty-onedollars, and exceeded 'its expenditures by upwards of one hundred thousand dollars. It cannot be an over-sanguine estimate to pi edict that, in less than ten years, of Which one-half have elapsed, the receipts will have been more than doubled. In the mean time, a reduced expenditure upon established routes ha* kept pace with increased facilities of pub it accommodation, and additional services have been obtained at reduced rates of compensation. Within the last year, the transportation of the mail in stages has been greatly augmented.— The number of Post Offices has been increased to 7,(XXI; and it may be anticipated that, while the facilities of interc ourse between fellow-citizens, in person or by correspondence, will soon lie car ried to the door of every villager in the Union, a yearly suiplus or revenue wid accrue, which mav be applied as the wisdom of Congress, under the exercise of their constitutional powers, may devise for the further establishment and improve ment of the public roads, or by adding still fur ther t the facilities in the transportation of the mail. Ofthe indications of the prosperous con dition of our country, none can be more pleasing than those presented by the multiplying rela tions of personal aud intimate intercourse be tween the citizens of the Union dwelling at the re motest distances from each ojfcer. Among the subjects which have heretofore occupied the earnest solicitude aud attention of Congress, is the management and disposal of that portion ofthe property ofthe Nation which consists ofthe public lands. The acquisition of them, made at the expense of the whole Union, not only in treasure but in blood marks a right of property in them equally extensive. By the re ported statements from the General Land Office, now communicated, it appears that, under the present Government of the United States, a sum Tittle short of thirty-three millions of dollars lias been paid from the common Treasury for that portion of this property which has been purcha sed from France and Spain, and for the extinc tion of the aboriginal titles. The amount of lands acquired is near two hundred and sixty millions of acres, of which, on the first of Janua- ary, 162(5, about one hundred and thirty-nine millions of ecres have been surveyed, and little more than nineteen millions of acres had been fiold. The amount paid in the Trca ury by the purchasers of the lands sold is not yet equal to the sum paid for the whole, but leaves a small balance to be refunded ; the proceeds of the sales .of the lands have long been pledged to the credi tors of the Na ion, a pledge from which we have roason to hope that they will in a very few years be redeemed. The sy stem upon which this great National interest has been managed was the re sult of long, anxious, ic persevering deliberation; matured and modified by the progress of our pop ulation. and the lessons of experience, it has been hitherto eminently successful. More than nine- tenths of the lands still remain the common prop- , erty ofthe Union, the appropriation and disposal of which are sacred trusts in the hands of Con gress. Ofthe lands sold, a considerable part were conveyed under extensive credits, which, in the vicissitudes aud fluctuations in the value of lands, and of their produce, became oppressively burdensome to the purchasers. It can never be the interest or the policy ofthe Nation to wring trom its own citizens the reasonabla profits of their industry and enterprize, by holding them J-fithe rigorous importof disastrous engagements in March, 1821, a debt ef twenty-two millions of dollars, due by the purchasers of the public lands had accumulated, which they were unable to pay. An act of Congress, ofthe 2d of March 1821, came to their relief, arid has been succeed ed by others ; the latest being the act of th“ 4th of May, 1826, the indulgent provisions of which expired on the 4th of July last. The effect of these laws has been to reduce the debt from the .,k*rchasers, to a remaining balance of about four millions three hundred thousand dollars due; more than three-fifths of which are for lands within the state of Alabama. J recommend to Congress the revival &. continuance, forafurther term, of the beneficent accommodations to the public debtors, of that statute, and submit to their consideration, in the same spirit ofequity, the remission, under proper discriminations, ofthe forfeitures of partial payments on account of pur chases of the public lands, su far as to allow of their epplication to other payments. There are various other subjects, of dsep in terest to the whole Union, which have heretofore iieeo recommended to the considf ratiup of Con- wlticlt the arduous duties of ilie B“ncii”h;id been discharged by his Honor Judge Schley. During the present session, Wensley Hobby and Wm. C. Micou, Esquires, were admitted tothe Practice of he Law. On Saturday the 8th inst. Lieut. G. McLaughlin was elected Captain of the Hamilton Riflemen in place of Capt. Cumnaing resigned. The Governor’s proclamation announ ces the election of Richard tl. VVtlde, esq. to Congress. We have noticed nothing of a general nature done by tin* Legislature, except the extension of the time to fortunate drawers in the Land Lotteries of 1818 1819 and 1821 to takeout their grants, and to make the Estates of attorneys at Law liable for the payment of all sums of money by them collected and not paid o- ver, before the payment ofany other debts. The Senate, h <>wever, agreed to re-consi- der their vote in favor of the last bill.— The Committee to whom was referred the memorial of Mr. John Schley on ihe sub ject of domestic manufacturers have revol ted in favor of the object of said mem- ri al; & the senate has agreed to the resolu lion ofthe H. of R. appropriating.$20,0G0 for enlarging the State House. -*•»©?><-- The Congress of the United States met on ihe 3d instant. Both Senate and House of Representatives were organised the first day. Of the whole number of Representatives, only. 4 were absent, viz : Mr. Oakley ot N. Y., Mr. Holcombe of N. J., Mr. Bryan of N. and Mr. Da vis ot S. C. Of the Senators, all but two were in their places. The Vice Presi dent was in the chair of the Senate at 12 o’clock. After calling the names of the mem bers, 207 of whom answered, the House of Representatives proceeded to the elec tion of Speaker. Andrew Stephenson, of Virginia, received 104 votes, J. VV. Taylor 94, P. P. Barbour 4, J. Stephen son 1, S. D. Ingham 1, Stephens 1. So Mr. Stephenson was ejected Speaker. We perceive nothing further interesting in the procedings of the first two days except in the Senate, Mr. Johnson of K v. true to his humane intensions, gave notice that he should, early in the session, intro duce a bill for the abolition of imprison ment for debt. We wish him and all by whose co-operation in the different states his views on this subject have been se conded, the full success which their bene volent exertions deserve. —*•!>#— We noticed the award of Prizes for the best loads of cotton in so hurried a man ner in our last, that several matters which we intended to have noticed, escaped our recollection. There must have been the most perfect fairness in the decision of the judges from the manner in. which it was made. The cotton was all sampled by persons appointed for that purpose, and put into separate papers with the No. ofthe Wagon from which it was taken,— These were examined by the judges with out any knowledge of the owners, names, and their decision made accordingly. We find it impossible to be particular in re ference to the quality of the cotton, man ner of Packing, baling &c. but as the ob ject of the exhibition was to engage the cultivators of cotton in an honorable ri valry for the improvement of our great staple commodity, and as our remarks are made in the same' spirit, we must be per mitted to say, that to the most cursory observer who passed the street, the cotton of Mr. Paul Fitzsimons, in the appearance of external neatness, distanced all compe tition. The following list of the names of those who offered for premiums, will show the tended for exhibition, did not arrive t il after the Premiums were awarded. We are authorised bv ihe judges to say, that on examination, his cotton was found to be unexceptionable, and that it was sold at I2j rents, the price obtained for the first premium load. Three Miniature bags composed of ihe samples of the.3 prize loads have been picked, and left at this office for public inspection. They were packed by the model of a packing machine, invented by Mr. Lenvis Layssard, to be seen at Mr. John Holcombe’s Warehouse, and are ex ecuted, in a style of great neatness. One bag tsdestined for Savannah, where a sim ilar exhibition of cotton took place on the same day; another for New-York; and the third for Livei pool. The names ofthe gentlemen who drew the prizes will be stamped on them. Each bag weighs one pound and contains 21 samples, being samples of every bale in the three prize loads, the samples of ffre first prize load on one side, those of the second in the centre, and those of the third on the other side, separated from each other by a piece of canvas. We have been thus particular f ont the hope, that, as a similar exhibition is con templated next year, the? result of the pre sent may effect ari evident improvement iu the generaljmanagementof so important an article in the market of the world. We are informed that in Savannah, Mr Blackshear took the first premium for the best load of c ottou; Mr. Thomas Butler the second, and Mr. Williams the third.— The first was sold at 12-4 cents. are certainly no better.

The Society met at 12 o’ clock at the Eagle Tavern to transact bu siness; at which time the following gen tlemen were chosen officers ofthe Socielj' for the ensuing year : Alexander McKenzie, President. Win. Smith, jr. First Vice President. Peter Bennoch, Second, do. R. A. Reid, treasurer. -Wm. J. Wightman, Secretary, and M essrs John G. Cowling, Gabriel Murray, and W. B. Thomas, Stewards. At 5 P. M. the Society, accompanied by several distinguished strangers, sat down to dinner, served op the sumptuous table of the Eagle Tavern, in Mr. Ken nedy’s usual siyle of elegance and plenty. After which came, if not the “Feast of rea son,” certainly ‘‘the flow of soul.” Se- veral excellent songs were sung and manv appropriate Toasts drank, in reference to early recollections, and present political happiness. The utmost harmony, 6z social good will prevailed, and the company rose at an early honr, feeling that they had not lessened die fotceof the maxim, “Juice est desipere in loco.” It is said Mr. Calhoun’s election to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Dr. Young, will be contested. Owing to the exclusion ofa precinct, whose poils were said not to be opened according to law, Mr. Calhoun had a majority of only 16 over his opponent. A resolution in the Senate of the Uni ted States, confirming the election of Duft Green as Printer, which was made last session, was passed 25 to 19. — S! A REQUEST.
