We are glad that the JnUUiffmcer aeei tho evU In anch ex tent aa It haa stated it, and perceiving it, we hope that In with ua In demanding the antidote. Tho tentaa .. . journal will Join with ua In demanding. onlv one which the eaae admits, is to dlminlik tho revenuo annually eoUected, to staunch the sources of this overflow, which the btkBigencer flnda so pernicious. The revenuo laws must be taken to a new draught | tho burdens borne hr tho people must bo lightened: wo must take off tho du- '• ^hlch there is any convenience In ad- ** •* That utbe by the peonte ties from all a — T . _ . mltting free, and reduce them on all the remainder. That la thetrus remedy for the evil; who is prepared to apply it with a Arm and unshrinking hand? There Is a considera ble party hers ready for this reform [ there is a largo party at the west | there U—at least there was, and wo hope there la now—* strong party at tho south. We bcliovo that wo can very confidently say that, wore the question now opened, there would very soon bo found In the south a strongor party In favor of a reduction of tho Tariff of 1840, than existed among tia seven years since In favor of the reduction of that of 1842. Among Southern Democrats wo imagino that there would bo hoard scarcely a dissenting voice. Not bnt that they fully appreciate tho great reform brought about by Mr. Polk’s administration. The ad valorem principle embodied In that bill will make tho TarifTof ’48 ono of tho most memorable acts over placed upon our statute books. But the good wwk was only commenced by Messrs. Polk and Walker. They did what was proper to bo done seven years since. Were they now In tho position which they then held, none, wo believe, would bo more anxious than they to take another step in tho direction of free trade. We have spokon of Southern Democrats. Bat wo shall not bo surprised to find tho great body of the Whigs of the South tho advocates of a lower tariff, whenever the question comes up for discussion. Not a few of them were formerly Nulllfiore, and, of courso, freo trade men. Tboy have no affliction for tho Tariff of ’46, because it was a Democratic measure: conse quently feel no disposition to defend and maintain it. They will, probably enough, fail back upon their old principles, and aid any movement which prom ises to .carry them out. Let not then tho next Congress adjourn without an effort to Btay the Hood of corruption which threatens destruction to the morals of tho country, by lessening tho revenues of the Government. Diminish tho sup plies by lowering the people’s taxes. It is their money with which tho treasury is overflowing. It is due to them that as less is needed, less should be col lected, than tboy now pay. Months siuce we took our position in favor of a reduction of tho Tariff.— The voters of tho country, whoso Interests are at Gtakc, should demand it of their representatives. Tub Steamer OsniEV.—Tho steamship Osprey, Capt. Bennett, running between Charleston and Philadelphia, it seems is becoming thoroughly estab lished in publio favor, and her officers are receiv ing that commendation duo to their capacity, in their respective stations, and to their character as gentlemen. While wo are happy to know that the noble vessels of tho sarao class, connected with our port, are enjoying a patronage and prosperity highly flattering to all concerned, we are by no menns jeal ous of the well deserved success of our neighbors, llonorablo competition we regard as a necessary cle ment to healthy trade. A card from tho passengers of the Osprey, published In another column, will at tract tho reader’s attention, in support of what we bavc said. The Florida.—This nobio steamer took her parturo yesterday for New York,having a full freight nnd 135 passengers, only 15 of whom belonged to the steerage. No .better ovidonco of the popularity of this route Jtfttie North, aud tho sploudid nccommo- diHkmSfurnished, could be glvon. The packet ship Constellation arrived in Now York on the 26th, with eight hundred and nineteen passen gers in the steerage, oil in good health, although they had upward of ninety cases of measles on board at one tlmo during tho voyage. The Hon. Robebt Dale Owen, Charge d’Affairato the Court of Naples, with bin family, haa taken pos* sage in tho Loudon packet ship Devonshire, to Bail from New York 4th of August next. Georgia Deaf and Dumb Asylum! Wo havo already alluded to tho report of tho Com missioners of this Institution, recently submitted to tho Governor. The report sots out by saying that the past yeor haa bccu marked by Borne embarrassing events, but trusts that sufficient has been accomplish ed to demonstrate the efficiency of tho Asylum, there by establishing its claims upon public attention and support. The general health of the pupils has bccu good, though the measles prevailed iu tho Institution for a few weeks last winter, interrupting tho educa tional exorcises for the time being. The disease, how ever, possel off without any fatal result, yet leaving its effects visible upon tho constitutions of Borne of tho more delicate members. In order to overcome tiie tirno lost in tho school the usual summer vacation will be dispensed with. In referring to the financial condition of the Insti tution, tho Commissioners Bubrait tho following re marks aud suggestions, which are worthy of general and favorable consideration in behalf of an Institution calculated to cxerciso such an important influence ou tho welfare or a class of persons entitled to tho pyrapathloa and assistance of thoso who are blessed with the use of all their faculties: Tho expenditures necessary to be made in keeping up an Institution of this kind is dependent, only in a email degree, upon tho number of inmateB. Certain expenditures must bo made in the employment of tho Faculty of Instruction and Superintendent. These offices are indispensably necessary to the existence of tho Asylum, aud cannot be filled without adequate remuneration. When, however, they aro onco prop- erly filled, tho only considerable item of expenditure is the board and clothing of tho pupils. Tho Institu tion is competent to educate twenty pupils more than wc have at present, without tho additional expendi ture of a thousand dollars. Yet our expenditures could not be reduced with any propriety, even under a more rigid system of economy than wo havo oxer- ciscd. Why, then, do not all who can of right avail themselves of the State benefaction, bccomo inmates or the Asylum? Tho Board havo advertised in tho publio journals of tho State—have employed Agents —havo written letters to individuals in publio statious and in private life, and have failed to awaken that interest in the pnbiio mind which we have so much desired. So far as practical results, to any considera ble extent are concerned, our advortisemonU have been unread—the appeals of our Agent have been un heard, and our letters have been unanswered. The statistics of the Deaf and Dumb attest tho fact that a large majority of the cases of deafness la to bo found in indigent families. In families whoHo ac quaintance is limited to their immediate neighbor hood, and who. in their uneducated condition, scarce ly,lf ever, bestow a thought upon the worso condi tion of their obildren. By such persons our adver tisements are never read, and our Agent cannot reach them except by going la person to them, ItU often the caso, that even after parents have been informed or the establishment of tho Asylum, and that their children aro fit subjects for tho recep tion of the State benefaction, they have too much pride to procare a certificate,to that effect, to present to the proper authorities betoro tbolr children can bc- i Benoflolarh ‘ ‘ .... ties in the Asylum. We doubt not ho Asylu that many an unfortunate Deaf Mute has been doom ed to linger on in raylees ignorance through the mor bid pride of the parent. Tnere is many a parent, fully aware of the existence of the Asylam. and of the benefits or education to his Deaf Mato child, who is unwilling to Buffer him to go from home, because be can work In tho farm or else where. Were the child blind or maimed or lnnatio, such a parent would not hesitate about sending him away whenever an opportunity should offer; but would be diligent to seek snob opportunities, because Buch children are In tho way or such parents. But the poor Deaf Mute, unfortunately, in this light of tho subject, Is perfect in physical development, ex cept In the organ of speeon, which Imperfection does not incapacitate him for manuel labor; and the un feeling, Inhuman father does not fall to require it of him. For such eases the Board can suggest no reme dy, but would assign them to that position among animated oreatores which the verdict of on enligbten- >d publio opinion may specify. There is one other oause wnici mich has deprived many Deaf Mates of tho benefits of education. All the passions of the heart which have been given to us for wise and beneficent purposes are capablo or botng di verted from their legitimate end or cbeoked in the accomplishment of ib< * of the miset la morbid. So will indulgence render any of our passions. The love of oftspring U not free from the bane. Evidenoes exist In almost every fam ily, where thUpaaafoa.-bar brooroo morbid even to wards ohlldnn who can bear and speak. It Is not strange, then, that the oondltlon of the deaf mate,up on whose heart no word of condolence has ever fallon; from whose vacant eye no gleam of Intelligence ever mm onoepure.Mt now morbid, win interpose ai dace the parent to Imagine that the very rntofoi of hie ohlflwlll Invite III usage, inlamanagomet lutatortuno* _ VpWfc and neglect from tho strangers to whoso hands he may bo committed. ' • •• 1 • • Wo have stated some and perhaps tho most prom* Ineut causes why more Dear Mutes have not avnllod themselves or tho facilities which tho Asylnm affords for obtaining ou education. Ills not the prerogative of the Board to oven recommend a remedy, bnt wo would suggest for tho consideration of your Excel* lenoy a few points which wo beliove would remedy tho matter. Tho Board would most respectfully suggest that the boneflts of tho Institution bo freo allko to the rich and to the poor. We are satisfied that such a step would bo benefiolal tu Its operations. Tho Btate owes to herself tho odueatlon of ©very ohlld within her borders. The legitimate ond of every righteous gov ernment is to •ocuro tho happiness and well-being or its suhjeots in untrammelod fallnosi. The expe rience of tho part affords indubitablo evidence that no coercive prinoiplo is bo potent In induoiug a pro per observance or law—In circumscribing tho passions within duo bounds or in multiplying the sources of moral and social opjoymont, with which a merciful Providence has so abundantly crowned tho life of man—as educated mind. Prison bolts may bo brokon, ond dungeon bare may be rent asunder and tho de mon in human form is free to hold his romoraoless orgies over tho mutilated remains of tho uoplesa vio- tlm of his passions. But train tho heart to feel and tho head to think as becomes a being impersonating there is the imago of his Maker, and for him no prison bolt so strong uor dungoon liar so restraining as the pauopty of moral principle by which ho is surround ed and which is evinced in overy action of his lifo. od and which is evinced in every action If then, there be obligation on tho part or the State to educate hor children, how much greater must that obligation bccomo when thoso children are incapaci tated by tho hand of an insorutablo Providonco, for tho improvemout and enjoyment of thoso blessings with which tho Barno Providenco has favored the more fortunate ? We would furthermore remark that such a provi- vision would Jnduco many pupils to como to tho Asy lum, who cannot como now, bccauso their parents arc too proud to furnish tho proper evidences of indigen cy. Wo would also suggest as a step of groat moment to tho successful accomplishment of the ond proposed in tho establishment of tho Asylum, that an Agent be appointed, with such a salary that ho will bo nblo to visit in person every family wherein may resido a Doaf Mute. A personal effort can always l>e of more avail than any written cnmraunicatiou. It would ho j uestion which parental solicitude would suggest. ,u efficient Agent would accomplish all this. From the report of tho Board of visitors, wo gath er the following, viz ; Tho number of pupils in the Institution at thistimo is twenty-six—twelve males nnd fourtceu females— nineteen of whom are beneficiaries. Tho number of persons employed in giving instruc tion aro four. Although the Institution is yet in its infancy and has had to struggle under many disadvantages, it bos succeeded in conferring an incalculable amount of good upon thtf unfortunate portion of our fellow-citi zens. Forty-nine Deaf Mutes,—twonty-three males nnd twonty-six females, have had their dark and be nighted minds enlightened in this Institution, nnd made intelligent, happy and useful citizens. When wo take Into consideration the hapless and forlorn condition of tho Deaf Mute, deprived of the most important senses for tho acquisition of ideas and tho enjoyment of happiness, anil dcuied the ordi nary means of communicating with surrounding na ture, never to bo regaled with the concord of sweet sounds, nor cheered by the fond voices of parents and friends, bnt ono unbroken silence from the cradlo to tho grave, wo havo presented a picture of dull, dark, monotonous existence, too painful even to contem plate. Alike unconscious of tho cause of their exist ence, how or why they exist, or of their future desti ny, can wo overrate tho valuo of education or of the obligation of the State to make ample arrangements for the instruction of this unfortunate class of be- lugs. Scionco presents no more complete triumph over na- mnl tore than sho 1ms done in the education or tho IJeaf Mute. A few short months in this Institution and you behold tho most ignorant mute transformed into an intelligent interesting companion uud useful citi zen ; nnd if reasonable time is allowed to remain hero, they will go away fully prepared to engago in the useful avocations oflifo, to mingle in tho domes tic and social circle, happy ils the happiest, and vic ing with tho most intelligent This is no fancy sketch. Many of tho pupils seem to have received instruc tion with as much facility as those of tho readiest mind, with all tho senses complete, and to possess genius of no ordinary cast. It seems no to lie known that the last Legislature made provision for the edu cation of much larger number of beneficiaries than lravu availed tiicmseivcs of tho Act. More than twice the present number of beneficiaries might he receiv ed, aud the capacity of tho Institution to receive thoso who arc able to pay might bo extended to any num ber of applications likely to be made. The government of the Institution is strictly paren tal. The teachers seem to havo been selected for their kindness and affectionate dispositions, os welt as their high mental qualifications aud aptness to teach. The utmost degree of kindness and effection appear to exist between teachers ami pupils. Pa rents nnd guardians may rest assured lhattucir child ren nnd wards will rccoivo every attention and iudul- fiunco ootnpatiblu with Dronor discipline. The highly accomplished and amiable Steward aud lady have been most appropriately solected. The system of education is moral, religious nnd usoful, combining some of tho mechanical arts. All tho intellectual faculties aro called into uso and discip lined. The B mrd would respectfully suggest through you to tho uext Legislature, an alteration in the terms of admission of tho pupils of this Institution and also In tho length of time for which they aro to remain.— Tho present law requires tiicm to be between the ages often and thirty, and to remain four years. Wo are entirely convinced that it would be better to reccivt tliom earlier—say seven and the latest period twenty- four, and to remain Bix years. The docility nnd im pressibility of tho Muto, though great In early lifo, diminish rapidly as ids years increase, and is almost entirely lost by tho time tiicy arrive at thirty, and tho term of four years altogether too short to givo them that thorough education that their situation de mands. Thoso who are received os beneficiaries,have to look to their own resources mainly in after life for support, nnd four years will bo admitted by all to l>o too limited a time to acquire a practical education and to learn a trade by which they can earn an inde pendent livelihood : nnd wo do contend that the State owes no higher obligation than to provide for this class of its citlzons. We therefore recommend that tho term ho pro longed to six years. If the Legislature should see proper to continue to admit pupils as late as tidily yenrs, we would say that four years would bo suffi ciently long for that class, as hut little can he team ed any way. Wo would also suggest that provision be umdo for a greater number of the mechanic arts, so ns to givo a wider scope to the development of tho different varieties of mechanical genius anil to tho greater usefulness of tho pupils. Wo would also re- commonda Philosophical nnd Chemical apparatus. The Mute lias but few sources of gratification and amusement, nnd this would add much to their limited stock, and at the same timo be of great utility. We cannot close this report without expressing our high degreo of gratification at tho management and success of this Institution, and can refer to it with pride us Georgians, as a noble monument, worthy of the Empire Stale of the South, erected to humanity aud to scienco, nnd worthy of tho liberal encourage ment and patronage of overy friend of humanity.

Tho following table exhibits the ngo of admission, and tlio length of timo pubils ure allowed to remain in some of tho leading institutions of tho country : Mimes. Amuricnn Asylum..

When we remember tho many dlflicul tics which beset tho parth of the Student in his of forts to acquire knowledge, wo will not bo astoulshod that ovon tho most gifted child should spend even a half score years in tho task. Bat to the Deaf Mute a knowledge of even tho English language Is attained only after years of toilsome, weurisomo labor. The rules of constructiou in our language are dependent to such a groat extent upon the principles or Eupho ny, that difficulties of a formidable character aro pre sented to the Deaf Muto, whllrt tho same difficulties are sought to be removed in a speaking child iu tho first efforts to attuuo his infant ears to the harmonies of spuach, and are continued in muny instances till tho child no longer a child, exults in tho stgpngth of manhood. With tho Deaf Muto child tho case is quite different. Either from ignorance or criminal indiffer ence on tho part of tho parent, ho is permitted in moBt cases to grow In total ignoranco till ho is presented at the Asylum for instruction. In the timo which is at present allowed us wo can givo him tho rudiments of an English education, but wo cannot, in so short a time, prepare him for extended usefulness in that ele vated sphere of action, so much desired by every ra tional and intelligent creature. Wo would then sug gest, that our pupils bo allowed to remain six years. Wo at present Instruct our mate pupils in tho art of shoo making and our females in tho duties of tho household. There Is no scntlmont in which the In structors of the Deaf and Dumb are so unanimously agreed as this; that all pupils should learn somo use ful trade or occupation upon which tboy may rely for support In fnturc. Such Instruction begets a feeling of independence, which makes thorn scorn to receive subsistence, after leaving school, from tho charities of tookind hearted and benevolent. Wo would thon respectfully suggest that provision be made for tho establishment of other Mechanical trades from which onr pupils may select such as aro beat adapted to their constitutions, taato and genius. A llnhinnt. ihnn wnn .1 ’ . . A Cabinet sho] montto many Injured by too bench. We would also suggest Jolning/Printing", Bookbinding, Ac., in any of which the Deal Mute could learn to work to profit. Thoso branches of tho Mechanic Arts, could bo established and carried on with but little expensa to tho State, farther than tho erection of tho proper buildings and famishing an outfit. The Board deem it a dnty to bespeak from oar olU- sens generally, a kindly Interest in the welfare of tho Deaf and Dumb. Nor can wo feel, when the appeal is mado to tbo kind hearted, howevor abort we may become of placing the matter proporly before them, that oar words wul fall unheeded. Attached as wo become as Instractora.and Officers of the Asylam to oar pupils, during their stay here; and consoious as have but iittlo experience in toe ways of the world, in lta conventional forms,own the more minute rules of propriety. They generally understand tho princi ples of the Moral Law, aod ate oarofal to regard a strlot observance of the same. Htlll they should not be expected to demean themselvM«n all ooeaelons with the same scrupulous punctilio which raatks tho course of the most refined society. Kind-hearted and affootlonato, thoy are sure to make frionds among their most intimate acquaintances; bnt thoy may lack neewaary sympathy in the more extended olrolo of those who«now them but partially. Among those with whom thoy dally associate, thoy meet frit »i—. , —, f yet unfortunately, they often find thoso who can lay no claim to that tltlo. Persons who will amuso thorn- solves by laughing at tbolr errors, teazo thorn for tbclr mistakes, or who will nook cruel pleasure in provoking their anger, are their most dangerous com- B unions. From such associates tho friends of the oaf Mutes should draw them as from an adder. A person who would thus treat a poor Deaf Mute, 1b either a simpleton or has a most malignantly cruel heart. Let such an individual know,—lot tbo com munity in which such a transaction occurs know, that tr * • ~ anoh treatment does tho unfortunate Doaf Mato an injury which it may impossible to remedy. Ho broods over his wrong, unchecked by the reasoning of others, until his passions rioo to a fearful height.— His excitement of reeling adds a thousand aggravat ing attendants to tho wrong; till, at last ho conceives himself tho victim of unpardonable and premeditated injustice. How much more cliristinn-liko— how much more like obedience to tho golden rule—Do to others as tee would that men do unto iw, would it bo. to win tho confidence of tho unfortunate one by kindness and gcntlenosB, and lend him in tho ways of peaco and happiness. Let tho moral and religious of every community, administer a rebuke in kindness to a Deaf Mute wlten he doparts from tho path ol recti tude to tho commission of wrong. Wo havo endeav ored to accustom him whilst under our cure, to re spect virtuu and abhor vice, and wo doubt not that an effort to restrain him from Immorality will easily touch a chord to which bis soul and being will vi brate. However far ho may have advanced in tho commission of wickedness, wo feel assured that tho moral and religious instruction given him in the Asy lum, enuuot bo forgotten. Thoy constitute a perma nent foundation upon which tho superstructure of morality nnd virtue may be secured; wo then respect fully entreat, that the moral and pious, do not give over their efforts to bring tho wanderer back. A selection of proper books for the perusal of tho Deaf and Dumb, is an important item for tho consid eration of those who would exercise a controlling in fluence for good over their characters. From tho very nature of their mlsfortuno arises tho fact, that rending must Bupply the lack of conversation, aud well worn volumes must fill the places of companions. It nray not be amiss in this connection, for the Board to give an outline of principles employed iu Imparting instruction. This wo do that our plan of instruction may bo known, and its difficulties appre ciated. .The great and all important auxiliary, in the hands of the Instructor, is tho Natural Sign Aon- gnage. A proper unfolding of its principles involves a consideration of tho mental operations in tho con ception of thought. Tho embodied conceptions of tho sculptor, as seen In tho life-like statue, or the fancies of the Painter, as exhibited on tho canvass, form no unfitting Types of tho thoughts as they occupy tho mind. Tho perfect expression of a thought in words, differs not at ail from tho expression of tho samo thought in its perfect embodiment in marble or on canvass. Speech is iotiguago founded on arbitrary rules. Sciilptnro is language founded on natural principles ; each strives to perform tho same office, viz: Proclaiming tho operations of tho mind. An idea, to bo distinct, must have ideal shape or form.— The imagination creates tho ideal representative, and tho memory retains it till a knowledge of it is imparted to other minds. It is immaterial whether tiro tongno of the orator, the pen of the writer, tho chisel of the sculptor, ortho pencil of tho painter., bo the medium of communication. The tongue, the pen, the chisel, and tho pencil, aro but instruments used to make a faithful impress upon ono rniud of the thought whioh occupies another. Having promised this much, we remark that with tho instructor of the Deaf aud Dumb, tho fingers subserve the samo purpose, iu transmitting thought from mind to mind, ns the tongue or pen. For the successful accomplishment of this important office, the ideally embodied thought of tho Instructor, is communicated by imitative or descriptive motions of tho body nr hands. Tills constitutes the language of Signs, and it ia natural only so far as tbo motions or gestures givo a faithful stereotype of tho thought of tho Speaker, nnd that too in tno order in which the thought occupies tho mind. A departure from this principle renders tho Signs methodical or arbitrary; which, if used at all, should be used with extreme caution. Thu adaptation of these signs to the purposes of ordinary communication requires primarily a thor ough knowledge of tho natural order of thought ond tho ability to fix that order in the memory. By grammatical analysis wo are taught to consider the relations whicli words bear to cacli other, according to tho conventional rules of language. In a logical classification of words wo will havo to do only with tho relation which tho thought expressed by the words bear to each other. According to logical di vision, sentences have buttbreo great elements.— These elements are subject, predicate nnd object.— These usually correspond with tho elements of the Analytical division, viz: tho Nominative case, the verb, and the Objective case. Hence, a simple sen tence may consist of only threo words, expressive of these throe elements,—to which simpler or incidental elements may be added. In the sentence “ the Chris tian worships God,” the word " Christian ” Is tho uuhioct.—" wottihipi ” thn predicate, and " God" tho object Tliis >eutenco is a model of the manner in which the logical divisions aro expressed in tho En glish Language. From habit we are ready to con clude that tills is tbo most natural and expressive form of tho language used. But in this wo differ from every other language. The same sentence in the Latin language would read thus, "Christianas Deum adorat,” in which the name of tho predicate is the last word used. Now tho question arises whicli of the two forms of expression is in accordance with natural principles. In giving expression to the same sentence in the natural Sign lAiuguago, wo would un questionably follow the order of the Latin. For in uccordupre with tho principles of uatural signs wo must cousidcr first tho Christian,—second tho object, and last the act of worship. Wo do thi3, becauso an analysis of the mental process by which a knowledge of the act is arrived at, will show us that the worship per first attracts our attention, and the object of tho worship, and both occupy tho mind antecedent to the act of worshipping. Tho first principles of Natural Sign Language be ing laid down as above, wo may next consider tho minor elements in a logical classification of a sen tence. These arc usually classed under tho head of Adjectives and Advorbs. As their object is to de scribe or modify tho signification of tho greater ele ments of a sentence, they are usually found appended each to tiie respective element it is intended to de scribe or modify. In the sentence which we bavo already quoted, we may add tho minor elements and make It rend thus, " Tno humblo Christian devoutly worships the omnipotent God." In giving expression to the sentence as it now stands, wc would differ from the former method only in giving tiie greater ele ments with the description or modification as ex pressed in tho describing or modifying word which stands in immediate connection with it. A farther difficulty might bo suggested by requir ing the use of the Natural Sign Langugo in complex sentences. In this, howevor, tho difficulty is easily removed. For in every complex sentences thoso are two or inoro simple sentences ; and by analysis these may l>o scperatcly consi^prcd, aud afterwards, by synthesis, may be regarded as single. Although it may be seen, from the outline sketch of tho principles of Natural Sign Language which we have given, that tho difficulties in tho way of the pupil are great, still thoy aro not so great that con tinued effort may not overcome them. Tiie cource of instruction, from tho very nature of the case, must be through aud practical; and tho more practical tho easier for both teachor and pupil. For tho sake of convenient reference, we should re capitulate the several items whicli wc think would conduce much to the prosperity of the Asylum. 1st. Open our doors, freo of chargo, for tho recep tion of every DenfMnth in tho State between tho ages of seven and twenty-four. 2nd. Extend the tiino of instruction from four to six years. 3rd. A specific appropriation,to snpplytho Asylum with an astrouomical and uhilosoplilcal appartus and museum. 4th. Provision for instructing in more of tho me chanical trades among tho pupils. 6th. Tho appointed of a Traveling Agent. In reviewing the year which now closes, we have abundant reason for thankfulness, and under tho smiles of Him who rnleth in tho circle of tho heav ens, wo humbly trust thnt tho future position of tho Asylum will bo as a dispenser of blessings to tho un fortunate, an ornament to tbo State, and an hour to the enlightened benoveicnco which gave it existence. All of which is respectfully submited. 0. P. FANNIN, President pro tcm. S. J. Johnson, Secretary. Cave Spring, Gn., Jtdy 1st, 1853 TERMS AND ADMISSION. 1st.

This revived, for tho ono hundredth timo or more a long ontcrtalncd intention, which I now at length en gago in fulfilling—partly, at loast—by committing to paper somo inoideuta which, as regards tho point of character In respect to which ho was most misunder stood, afford a just conception of what Andrew Jack- sou truly was—what ho was, not fitfully or exception ally, but habitually and regularly.

A wor between Russia and/Tar- key is like theJiattle of tbe kite and snake t which ever destroys ihe other, leaves a destroyer less for tho world. This pugnacious humor or mankind seems to bo tbo law of his nature; ono of the obstacles to too groat multiplication, provided lit tho mechanism no Uni verso. Tho coclu of tho hen yard kill ono accompanied him from Washington to tbe " . Raps," an artificial mound of stone, formed in tho Chesapoke Bay, opposite to Point Comfort, os tho foundation for Cattle Calhoun, ono of tho defences of those waters, then in the process of erection. There, amidst the souuding serges, iu one of tho temporary buildiugs provided for officer’s quarters, lie took up his nbodo for tho fow weeks ho could de vote to the invigoration of his health. Ono evening, aitor I had parted witii him for tho night, revolving over tho directions ho had given about somo letters I was to prepare, one point occur red, on which I was not perfectly satisfied as to what thoso directions had beeu. As tno letters were to lie sent off early next morning, I returned to his chamber door, and, tapping gently, in order not to wake him if he had got to sleep, my tap was answered by " come in." He was undresred, but not yet In bod, as I had suwposed that ho must be by that time.. He was sit ting at tha little tabltf, with his wife’s miniature—a very large ono, then for tho first time seen by me— before him—propped np againstsome bookB ; and lac- tween him and tno book lay an open book, whioh bore tho marks of long use. This book, as I afterwards learned, was her Prnyer Book. • The miniature he always wore next to his heart, suspended round his neck by a strong black cord. Tho last thing ho did, every night, before ly ing down to his rest, was to road In that book with that picture under his oyes. In Washington, where the servants brought by him from Tennessee had not, any more than their betters generally are, there, been proof against the influences which so many of low grado aiftl of high, be- ' ‘ ’ * fly under como what, in homely phrase,“is called " thoroughly spoilt ond utterly ruined," on going ono day into tho President’s offleo, I found that 1 brokoin upon a tele a tele between him and Charles his negro driver; Charles was looking tho culprit to his best, that is, as well as was permitted by a lurking smile, which betrayed his consciousness that nothing very terrible was coming. As I entered, the General was saying, ' Charles, you know why I value that carriage. This " Charles, you know why I value that carriage. i9 tho second timo it has happened. And, if it ever happens again, I will send von back to Tennessee.” This lecture nnd threat, Charles had brought upon himself by having left his conch box : as tho natural consequence of which, the horses had run away, and broken tiie carriage. In this sceno, I was struck with tho fact that tiie General’s thoughts and fecliugs dwelt upon tho car riage, upon the injury sustained by it, without turn ing nt all upon the expenw or tho injury to tho horses, noble dapple greys—his favorite color—of his own rearing, and descendants of his famous horse Truxton. I at onco inferred that this " why" had reference to his wife; nnd upon Inqlury of Col. Earle, m.. «... . 1 n.j I ii - ... _ t ! my conjecture was vertifled. Becauso tho carriage hud been hers, it was bcttn than any new one , mustnevurbo given up, hit always repaired and mado as good as now, through the cost might be grea ter than that of new ono. Such was this " roaring lion”—ns, by tho world outside, ho was believed to to for all around him—al ways" ripping nnd tearing,’' as'tis termed in western phrase, and|" Bythe EternaPteveriu his mouth : a lmb- it, by the by, whicli I havo in vain taxed my recollec tion for a single instance of. Such wus lie habitually regularly, nnd without shadow of turning. To nil nbout him, whatever the relation in which tno stood, nnd iti whatever capasity dependent upon him and his humor for their comfort and happiness, he was tliis always—nover anything qise. • There was more of tbo wouan in his nature than in that of any man I over knew—more of woman’s tenderness towards cbildrei and sympathy with them; often 1ms he been known, though ho never had a child of his own, to walk up nnd down by tho ■ ,A, ‘‘ - ' 'do hour with aniufunt in his arms, becauso by so uoing he relieved it Irom tho cause of its crying ; more also of woman's patience, and uncomplaining, uuuoticing submissiveness to trivial causes of irritation. There was iu him a womanly modosty and delicacy, 03 re spects of tho relation of tho luxes. Bcipio was not more continent—more clmsto would bo the right word ns to him—than I feel sure he was, in thought as well ns in conduct. By no man was the homage duo to woman, tho only true homage she can receive—faith In her—more devoutly rendered. This chaste tender- ness towards the sex was constantly manifesting it self, nnd in a manner so unstudied, so poriectly spon taneous, as to show tint it was as natural to him as to breathe. As reganls patience, I havo often scon his temper tried to a dogreo tiiat it irritated mino to think ol, by those negbets in small tilings that go so hard' with an invalid—os ho always was at the period when I knew him—and whicli aro so apt to test one’s temper. But things of this kind passed off without so much as a shade coming over his coun tenance. Of courso I do not mean to say that lie was not sub ject to anger, and at times to tho most vehement out bursts of passion. I luve no doubt tliut he could he, nnd has been, a perfect volcano. Though I never witnessed anything of tho sort, there was that about him whicli told thnt he could bo so, and confirmed what you heard of tin fearfulness of his wrath. I speak of what ho habitually was. This peculiar tenderness of nature entered largely, no doubt, into tho composition of that manner of iris, with which so many havo been struck, and which was of tho highest available stamp, as regards both dignity and grace. Mr. Jefferson was strongly im pressed with this, at their meeting at Lynchburg— that meeting made memorable by tho toast, which, because of the then apprehended and subsequently realized political consequences of Jacksou’s position before the country, was by some never forgiven ; “ Honor to tho man who has filled tiie measure of bis country’s glory.’’ No better jndgo of rammers lived than Jefferson, whose own were a charm to overy ono who approached him, and whose associa tions through lite bid been such that it must have boon no easy matter for him to receive au impression of the kind. And yit, so strong had tliut impression been that, that many years afterwards—but tho year before his death—upon lieing visited by an old friend whom he had kuowmunidst tbe most polished circles of Paris, lie dwelt upon this point its tho most sur prising thing about Jackson. How lie could have gut such manners—iiannem which, for their polish no less than thair dignity, would havo attracted tho at tention of every oue nt any Court iu Europe—was to him an enigma. This was related to me manyyt nenrelei after Mr. Jefferson’s death by tho gentlemen referred JeiTerson’s own manners were tho fruit of culture and opportunity; the remit of Chat self-improvement iu all things, which, from his boyhood, he hud ever been intent upon : aud which, iu this particular, was favored in tho highest poadblo degree by the models constantly before him. And so had it been witii every other specimen of fine manners lie had ever met with. But hero was i man, bred in the hack- woods, amidst tho" rougj and tumblo" in nil its forms and modifications, peaceable and hostile, of tho " boys" there, among whom he had natnrelly as sumed the post of tiie captain and leader. True tho " camp" had always been recognized as being next to tho " court," as a school for manners ; hut this camp had been a very difforeot sort of thing from that of a backwooks Inuian-Hgliter. Here was a man whose contacts had never beeu but of bis deesriptioo, and yet whoso match, in point of greco nnd dignity of manners, it would ho difficult, if not impossible, to find in all the courts of the old world. Not the grace and dignity, such os thoy are found in the Iddian war rior, and which display themselves in his attitudes and in ills way of folding Ills blanket around him, but tho grace and dignity ortho jiolished gentleman, and manifesting themselves iu each and every particular embraced in tiie mcaniug of tiie word " manners.” when thus applied. Another or the n nmlying fidelity- JacKHou’s character, manifested itself in reua ills wife’s memory, was the relation established by him towards Col. Earle, tho portrait painter. As a Nashville artist, Earle had been a jirotegc of Mrs. Jackson, one of tho many objects on which tho kind ness of heart recorded in tho epitaph—bo different in truthfulness from most epitaphs—had found its indul gence. Tills was enough. By her death, this relative became sanctified for the General’s heart. Earlo be came forthwith hlr protege. From that timo forward, the painter’s home was under his roof—at Washing ton, in Tennessee, in the President's house, as at the Hermitage, where he died before tho General. And I the Dumborloss particulars in whicli the f foi -tho truly feminine fidelity of Gen, .uffci— tills treatment was amply repaid. Not, indeed, by of his brush, in transmitting tho General's the fidelity , „ physiognomy to future generations—for, Earle, what ever ho might bo iu point of admiration for bis pro tector, wus no Appelles in ability. There was not a particle of geolus or of artirtical skill in tho man But there was something bettor, an honest heart. If his brush was false, his soul was truo. If ho could go on, os he did, year in and your out, painting tho Gen eral, and tho GoneraLaud never anything but the General; if the lost of these repetitions was (as any one could have predicted it must necessarily bo from tiie very nature of tho mind alone capablo of such mill-horse occupation,) yot more destitute, if possiblo, than the first or a single flash of tho light within, by which thoso nigged features were illumined. One thing no ono could doubt—his devotion was more un tiring even than his own brush: and its steadiness a — would havo proved itself, at any moment tho oppor tunity might have offored, by his '*—’ ’ , Ight have offored, by bis cbccrfally down his life tn his services.
