The annual report of the Honorable R. McClel land, Secretary of the Interior, fills over six col umns of the Crb'be, and embraces a great variety ~f facts and statistics of interest, many of which however, are given in sufficient detail for the gen eral reader in the President's message and the ab stract of the report of the Pension Ollice. The re port shows the following disposition of the public lands during the past year: The quantity of lands sold for cash acres during the last fiscal year was 15,729,524.88 Received therefor, $11,485,384 75. Located with military and scrip land warrants 1,345,580.00 Swamp lands selected for States 7,470,748.82 Selected on donations for railr’ds, &c. 11,558.00 Making a total of 24,557,409.50 Exhibiting an increase of 8,893,789 81 acres over the previous year, of lands sold for cash, and a decrease of 2,071,222.26 acres located with scrip and warrants. The quantity that will be enter ed the present fiscal year with land warrants will be much larger, the number being great-1 v mul tiplied by the requirements of the recent bounty land law. The amount of lands sold during the second and third quarters of the present calendar year is about 5,264,183 acres; being an increase of about 827,- 625 acres in cash $477,442 06) on that of the cor responding quarters of the proceeding year. This is owing, in a great measure, to the extra ordinary advance and prosperity of the country, but, it is feared, in some degree, to the influence of speculation. The quantity of land covered by warrants, issued to soldiers of all the wars in which the United Stales has been engaged, is 37,858,412 acres, which enormous amount, taken in connection with our liberal system of pensions, evinces, in an eminent degree, that the gratitude of our country for the patriotism of our citizens is not impaired by the lapse of time, nor its acknowledgement extended with an illiberal hand. Under the several acts of Congress for the satis faction of Virginia military land warrants, there were taken 1,46“,<Wi acres of the public lauds. Acts more recent have been passed for the issue of scrips to satify ibis class of warrants, which are f being faithfully and yet liberally executed. The efficient manner in which the Pension Office is conducted, and its largely increased labors, are referred to. The number of applications under the new bounty land law, up to November 2<.‘th, was 225,it44; those examined number 84,500; of which 59,•'02 have been allowed, 24,608 suspended or rejected, and the number of warrants issued, 55,917, covering 6,678,32'' acres. The re-orgauization of the Patent Office has been perfected, and the good effect already sensibly ex perienced. Since the Ist of January, 1555, there have been issued upwards of 1,800 patents, and, within the year, the number will probably reach 9. 'oo. This is the result of the judicious and ex cellent system that has been adopted, and which enables the office promptly to examine and dispose of every application that is presented. The appropriations for agricultural purposes Imve been usefully and judiciously applied. The seeds were well selected and distributed, and, from i all the information received, the most beneficial results are anticipated. The Indian Bureau is represented as having ably and honestly discharged its duty. Numerous In dian treaties have been concluded during the year, and various matters, hitherto unsettled, adjusted. Measures looking to the improvement of the condi tion of the Indians are urgently recommended, and th -ir sufferings, privations and discouragements are ably and feelingly set forth. We quote the concluding portion of the (Secretary's remarks on this subject: “ Indian disturbances are too often traceable to the indiscretions and aggressions of white men. We have reliable reports of such cases and of the most murderous and unprovoked attacks upon them when entirely defenseless. Notwithstanding i the Mississippi was established as a boundary to their country, our people have passed it, and seized upon their choicest lands, and are circumscribing the aborigines to the narrowest limits. We are rapidly closing upon the hunter tribes from both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and soon all the buffalo and other game w ill have disappeared, and almost every foot of arable land be occupied by the white man. By u conjunction of circumstances m '-.t uupropitious, the Indian is being completely hedged in; and never before has he been subjected to such severe trials and hardships. Many of them are aware ol their deplorable and precarious condi tion, and speak of it with the deepest and most ex pressive sorrow; yet. with few exceptions, the of tenses they commit are not of a high grade, and these are palliated, in many instances, bv extreme want. All this should impress a generous, intelli gent and refined people with the necessity of kind ness and forbearance towards them, which is not always exhibited. “ A liberal hand should be extended to them, and every means resorted to for their improvement and elevation. Moral and religious principles, and the arts of civilized life, should be taught them. It is difficult t" instruct the aduli. Naturally of a learning diposition, indolent, averse to ordinarv labor, as not comporting with his idea of dignity, he has no desire to obtain a practical knowledge! of agriculture or anv of the useful aris, nor can his attention to them be enlisted. He will not voluntarily abandon the chase, tior the wild diver sions which are so seducive even to the most refined. But by commencing with the youth, implanting iu their minds correct principles, and inculcating those moral and religious precepts which arc usually imparted among civilized ua tions bv parents to their children, a foundation would be laid for a thorough and complete refor mation of-the whole tribe. This course ■ has been pursued tea limited extent, audits results are very flattering. “It would be well for us in our conduct towards the Indians to follow the example of those benevo lent societies w hich have, for many years, labored so perseveringlv, and under the circumstances, so successfully, for the amelioration of their condi tion. They have contributed largely to this great object, having expended within the last ten years, m money ulone, nearly a million of dollars ; and it is doing them injustice to attempt to deprecate the effects of their incessant labors. Experience shows the instrumentality of religion alone can effect that radical change in the habits, customs, manners and modes of thinking of the Indian that is >o desirable. Recently, government has not be on remiss in granting the means necessary to supple both their mental and physical wants; and it is hoped the laudable spirit exhibited at the last session t f Congress will always govern our councils. Its continuance, together with the cor dial co-operation of the pure and self-sacrificing meu who have heretofore devoted so much time aud attention to them, will relieve the poor Indians from their severest difficulties aud embarrass ment- ; may tend to elevate them to an equality with the whites, and avert front this nation a large amount of obloquy that might otherwise attach to it. Facts have demonstrated their susceptibility of improvement, aud even refinement; and there fore it is our duty to persevere in all human efforts to preserve them from extinction. Messrs. Foster and Trippe. • I lu R recent number of this paper we referred to ; the position of the gentleman Messrs. Foster and I Trippe were casting their votes in favor of for t . Speaker. In another column, we give a few pas sages from the speech of Col. Richardson, deliv ered in 1854, being the sentiments of a gentleman ; that they have refused to vote for, but for whom ' ihe other portion of the Georgia delegation have j voted. The Cincinnati Convention. • P -Anderson IS. C.) Gazette, savs: Maj. Perry ; m his editorial correspondence to the Patriot and i Mountaineer, gives the following information as to the sentiment of the Legislature in regard to the Cincinnati Convention. The foolish and unsound -1 ed report so eagerly promulgated by the opposi tion press—that Col. Orr’s letter had fallen still born upon the Legislature, is flatly' contradicted. Let captious editors and disappointed politicians say what they may, South Carolina will be repre ; seated in the Democratic Convention. But to the extract: , “The caucus in favor of sending delegates to the Democratic Convention, was also an abortion, for the want of time to meet and pass resolutions af ter dinner and before the meeting of the House. This morning, however, I drew up a paper, stating that we were in favor of sending delegates, and requesting all those who concurred with us to meet at their respective Court Houses, sales-dav in March, and appoint delegates to meet in Columbia, the first Monday in May, to make arrangements for having the State represented in the Democratic Convention. Between forty and fifty members of the Legislature signed this paper, and twenty or thirty others stated that they were in favor of the measure, but thought the movement premature, and did not like to appear as taking an active part in the movement. Pretty well for a beginning. South Carolina will be with her Southern sister States next spring in selecting a candidate for the Presidency.” The Clayton Itulwer Treaty. As it is matter of much interest at this time to know precisely what were the terms of the Clay ton Bulwer treaty, we publish below those articles which refer particularly to the Central American question : Article 1. The Government of the United States and Great Britain hereby declare that neither the one nor the other will ever obtain the said ship ca nal; agreeing that neither will ever erect or main tain any fortifications commanding the same or in the vicinity thereof; or occupy, or fortify, or colo nize, or assume, or exercise any dominion over Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito coast, or any part of Central Auieica ; nor will either make use of any protection weich either affords or may af ford, any alliance which either has or may have, to or with any State or people, for the purpose ol erecting or maintaining any such fortifications, or of occupying, fortifying or colonizing Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito coast, or any part of Cen tral America, or of assuming or exercising domin ion over the same; nor will the United States or Great Britain take advantage of any intimacy, or use any alliance, connection or influence that either may possess with any State or Government through whose territory the said canal may pass, for the purpose of acquiring or holding, directly or indi rectly, for the citizens or subjects of the one, any right's or advantages in regard to commerce or navigation through the said canal, which shall not be offered on the same terms to tlie citizens or sub jects of the other. Art. 2. Vessels of the United States or Great Britain, traversing the said canal, shall, in case of war between the contracting parties, be exempted from blockade, detention, or capture, by either of the belligerents ; and this provision shall extend to such a distance from the two ends of said canal as it may hereafter be found expedient to establish. Art. .8. The Governments of the United States and Great Britain having not only desired, in en tering into this Convention, to accomplish a par ticular object, but also to establish a general prin ciple, they hereby agree to extend their protection by treaty stipulations to any other practical com munications, whether by canal or railway, across the isthmus which connects North and South America, and especially to the inter-oceanic com munications, should the same prove to be practical, whether by canal or railway, which arc now pro posed to be established by the way of Tehuantepec or Panama. In granting, however, their joint pro tection to any such canals or railways as are by this article specified, it is always understood by the United States and Great Britain that the parties constructing or owning the same shall impose no other charges or conditions of traffic thereupon than the aforesaid governments shall Approve of as just and equitable; and that the same canals or railways, being open to the citizens and subjects of the United States and Great Britain on equal terms, shall also be open on like terms to the citizens and subjects of every other State which is willing to grant thereto such protection as the United States and Great Britain engage to afford. From the Washington Union. Col. Richardson on tho Nebraska Bill. The speech of the Democratic candidate for Speaker of the House of Representatives, in sup port of the Kansas and Nebraska bill, delivered on the 2 'th of May, 1854, is now before us, and the following passages are so pertinent and so manly, so patriotic and so Democratic, that we cannot re sist laying them before our readers: “Since the introduction of this bill every expe dient lias been resorted to to intimidate members from giving it their support. The pulpit has un dertaken to speak, in the name of Almighty God, against it. The abolition press have placed the names of members in what they are pleased to call the roll of infamy, who have voted for the bill. Such abuse is courted rather than avoided. “ The opponents of the bill say the people will condemn us forever. I have heard the same sort of talk before. Why, they have told me, some j t ears ago here, that 1 might look for some green spot by the side of some gentle stream, where I might timl my political grave. Sir, instead of that, they have found their political grave, and l have been continued here by the wish of my constitu ents, and against niv own desire. " But, sir, gentlemen of Kreesoil and Abolition proclivities tell us, if we persist in urging this mea sure, they will leave the Democratic party. I hope they will; for in the hour of danger and trial thev are opposed to us, aud have ever been ; and it is oulv when the victory is certain, and the spoils to be "divided, that they act with us. They have marred the moral of the victory by their clamor for the spoils. For one, I have no" desire to propitiate them. Sir, we shall pass the bill, settle a great principle, and so settle it, that in all future time we i can sustain it ; the country will approve it, and these gentlemen, now so clamorous, will acquiesce —yes, sir, 1 believe that is the word—or swear that they were always for the principle, but opposed to its application to these Territories; ami some of them will doubtless bo able to go back to some speech or essav where they maintained the doctrine that we now apply. i “ I want to say a word or two to our friends be fore I conclude. I want to say to them, that our danger, and our sole danger, consists in our divi sions. [ want to say right here to our Northern friends, that our fortunes are linked up with this bill. The assault is made upon you. Your names are in everv Abolition sheet in the land, in what thev call the ‘roll of infamy.’ If we falter under such a fire as this, there is ho arm but that of re surrection that can reach us. Take niv word for it, vou will find that to be true. You never make anything in one of these politicalfightsby yielding. ; Fight it out, and tight it ever. Our safety consists j in standing together. If we fall, let us fall togeth- j l er, and fall fighting. Let us ask no quarter, aud ! I give none. give uuuu. I have a word to say, too, to our southern friends, j and what I submit to them is applicable to our i northern friends, too. In the details of the bill | there are a great many things about which we dis- j fer ; there are a great many things that we would ; prefer to have otherwise. But we --hall have to i give uu our opinions about these details for the : sake of the great principle involved in the bill. If we stand firm, and pass the bill, my word for it, | that the excitement which has been manufactured at the North, will blow over before the elections i next tall, or, at all events, just after them. We ap- i peal to you in u spirit of generosity to yield some thing in detail, to stand by the friends who have j stood by you; not stood by you because we yield- j ed to yon, but because we believed we were, doing : justice and right. “ The principle will triumph front this time for- : ward, and the day will soon pass by when no more ; discriminations shall be drawn between the differ- ! ent Stales of this Union—discriminations that ought never to nave been drawn under any cir | eumstances, and which were not made at the'foun- : 1 dation of this government. 1 Let me say to the friends of this bill, that the | J best course we can pursue is to rote down all 1 amendments, stand by the substitute aud pass it. j I If we once enter upon a sea of amendments, i there be no telling where we shall land. L have ! no doubt a great many gentlemen here desire to j ■ offer amendments sincerely ; and I have no doubt, ! also, if thev had a good opportunity, that thev i could pass a’ bill which would suit them exactly, ! but which would not suit us at all. -Our safety, I repeat, is in standing by the sub stitute as it is. Gentlemen need have no appre hensions about the storm that will be raised at tho ! North. 1 have passed through such storms more than once. I stood here aud voted against the Wilmot proviso with only eleven northern men supporting me. * I voted against it because I con sidered it to be wrong. Ilow many of you, gentle men, would be willing to vote for it to-day ? Some gentlemen of the Democratic party tell us that they have thus far gone with us, but cannot go nuv further with us. Tor one, lam glad to get rid of you, if vou cannot stand up to the principles of : justice and equality umanjf the States —the ability ! of matt to govern himself. ' PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCIL. Regular Meeting, I January 4th, 1856. f Present—The Mayor, and members, Messrs. Blodget, Laßoclie, Walker, Maharrey, Dye, Con ley, Butt, Goodrich and Bassford. The minutes were read and confirmed. The trial of police cases was postponed until the 14th instant. The petition of Engine Company No. 6 was read and referred to the Committee on Engines, to re port at the next meeting of Council. The petition of Lambaek k Cooper was laid upon the tabic. 1 The following Report was submitted by the Fi nance Committee; To the City Council of Augusta :— The Committee on Accounts, to whom was refer red the subject of fixing the salaries of the City Officers, for the ensuing vear, respectfully report the following: For salary of Mayor $1,500 Collector and Treasurer 1,200 Clerk of Council 800 City Marshal 1,000 Deputy City Marshal 700 City Constables, (three) each 650 Superintendent of Streets and Drains 800 “ Water Works, Pumps and Wells 800 “ City Engines 1,200 Wharfinger, 8 per cent, on gross receipts.

Twenty Citv Watchmen, at $1 per night. Four City Watchmen, to be known as Captains of the Watch, at $1.25 per night, and day whenever their services may be required. It will be observed that the Committee propose • an increase of four additional Watchmen, to be ! known as Captains of the City Watch, at $1.25 per j night, as well as day, when required. It is believ ed that this addition will materially add to the es- 1 fieiency of this branch of the public service, and will ensure a much greater degree of vigilance on I the part of our city night police. The Committee recommend that the 127th sec- ! tion of the General Ordinance be so amended as to I give the Mayor the power to suspend any Police | Officer who shall be charged with a violation of j any of the City Ordinances, neglect of duty, or dis obedience of orders, until the same shall be duly investigated by the City Council. Iu regard to the rate of taxation for the ensuing ! year, the Committee are not prepared to make any j suggestion at the present time. As soon as the Di- ! gests are completed, the Committee will report j wlnit rate will be necessary, and submit the same j to Council. The Committee would again urge, as they done \ in former reports, a strict economy in the public ! expeuditures, and a prompt collection of the Citv j Taxes, as the best means of preserving the good ! credit of the city, and enabling the City Council to keep pace with the progressive spirit of the age and the increased wants of our growing citv.

Mr. Bassford moved that the rates of toll on the Augusta Bridge be the same as they were before j being abolished recently by the City Council. Mr. Blodget moved an amendment, viz: that the j toll will not be exacted until the first February j next. The vote being taken upon the motion as ■ amended, it prevailed. The reports of Wm.
