To this end Secretary Toucey desires to send

Dear Sir : — ln answer to yours of the 3d
inst., I will state that land that was entered
a year ago, was sent out for taxation last
spring, and the tax will have to bo paid to the
collector in the county the land lies in, any
time before December next, after which time,
if not paid, it will be returned as delinquent
land, to the “Register of Lands” in this city;
then, if not paid here beforo the first of July
next, will be advertised for sale, and sold in
October, afterward, in the county by the
sheriff,; and if not redeemed from the pur
chaser within two years after the sale, tho
land will be lost, or the purchaser gets a deed
from the State. I believe I have given you
the whole round that the laud takes beforo
sale. There has been a decision in some of
tlio States that no tax can be collected on land
until the patent issues, but not so iu this State.
Respectfully,
A. M. Morrison, Treasurer.

The Coming Sugar Ciior Contracts.—Su
gars are beginning to enjoy here a favor that
not only reveals the immense change in our
commercial situation during the last few
months, but also great hopes and confidence
in the future. According to reliable informa
tion, there were concluded yesterday con
tracts for the produce of the coming sugar
crop of San Jose and Santo Domingo, assort
ment and class, as they arrive in market, at
the price of $25 per box of sixteen arrobes. —
The crops comprised in this transaction are
calculated at over 7,000 boxes.
Besides, we know that for other large crops
of sugars there was offered the same price, but
tho selling party has higher pretensions.—
The same happens relative to sugars made in
common trains; for as to those proceeding
from the Derosne apparatus, we know also
that offers were made corresponding to thoir
better quality.
For sugars of inferior quality operations arc
mentioned, but we are positively informed
that there are many who desire to make con
tracts at eight reals—a price till the present
not accept'ed by the sellers.
Molasses docs not enjoy the same favor: no
operations arc spoken of for the next crop,
which perhaps is due to the news of the abun
dance of corn in Europe, and for the same rea
son the future of rum lias small chances.
Mrs. Adeline Armer, of Coffee county, Ala.,
offers a reward of two hundred dollars for the
dered her husband, Richard IV., and l.er son

into seven heads, and each head has at least
seven horns, and on each horn hangs at least

THE RIGHT FEELING TOUCHED.
We are glad to find so many of our exchan
ges deeply regretting the legal necessity which
seems to require the return of the three hun
dred captured Africans to thoir native coun
try again.il their will, aud at tho same time
protesting agaiust their return from a South
ern port being taken as an imputati.ff upon
tho righteousness of a Southern domestic in
stitution. It needs but the application of a
lit tle reason to this instinctive feeling of hu
manity and self-respect, to lead them to protest
also against the coutinuanceoflaws which cre
ate this necessity. We are not sufficiently
cunning as a casuist to deplore the necessity
iu this particular case, as inhuman and de
rogatory to our institutions, and at the same
time to justify tho laws that have brought it
about.
The Africans strongly desire to remain in
this country ; they say tiiat bondage and mis
ery await them if sent hack to Africa; and
they are willing to exchange even promised
liberty—the liberty and advantages of wild
beasts —in Africa for slavery and comfort in
America. All accounts concur in thus roport
ing their expressions. They are doubtless now
comfortable more than ever before in their
lives; they rejoice in clothing for limbs unac
customed to such protection; they delight iu
an abundance pf cooked bcof or bacon and
rice, in exchange for a scanty supply of filthy
raw meats and roots in thoir native land ;
and they have confidence to believe that in
this country they would find strong protec
tors to take care of them in sickness or in
health, and to shield them from barbarity and
want, while in Africa they have always laid
to struggle with privation and starvation, and
been left naked anil defenceless to the assaults
of many foes. But they know full well that
neither liberty nor protection awaits them if
returned to Africa—that they will be still tlio
slaves of petty princes or hopeless captives of
merciless war.
There are at the same time hundreds of ho
mano Southern men, who desire to take tnese
rude Africans and provide for thoir comfort
and improvement. Christianity, as well as
humanity, pleads against their return ; and
when to these appeals are added the entreaties
of the negroes themselves, the laws which
outrage all these considerations must be re
garded as enactments for tho physical and
moral enslavement of these poor creatures,
rather than measures for the promotion of ra
tional and enlightened freedom. —Columbus
Enquirer.
From tho Savannah Republican.
POPULA3 EDUCATION.
“Our exchanges, and private parties, inform
us that T. R. R. Cold), Esq., is advocating in
the various courts in which ho practices tho
sale of the Stato Road and the application of
a large portion of its proceeds to the promo
tion of I’ublie School Education in this State,
and tho endowment of the University ofGeor
gia.” —Atlanta American.
The friends of tho public school system may
not all agree with Mr. Cobb in his advocacy of
the sale of the State Road, but they will hail,
with no little pleasure, the entrance upon the
field of so able and influential an advocate of
popular education.
That there is an awakening, at tho South,
on the subject of education, no one will ques
tion who has observed the progress of events
during the past ten or twelve years. Tho
thought is fast taking hold of tho public mind,
that to provide for the education of the peo
ple is gernmin to the general purposes for
which governments are established, and iu a
large number of our States, there are educa
tional departments in the public service.—
At the last meeting of the Georgia Legisla
ture, a bill was introduced to provide for the
education of the youth of the State in the
rudiments of an English education, arid to
create and establish a Superintendent of pub
lie schools.
Tlio following synopsis of tlio provisions of
the bill is taken from the Augusta Constitu
tionalist :
“All the present poor school fund and ono
half of the net earnings of tho State Road,
shall constitute tho common school fund.—
The Tfibasurer of the State shall apportion
this sum among tho different counties, ats
cording to the number of returned freo white
children between eight and eighteen years.—
The Governor shall appoint a Superintendent
of Public Schools to hold office two years.—
The Superintendent shall visit the various
counties and make all necessary provisions
for the practical working of tlio system. At
tiie election for county officers, two commis
sioners shall ho elected from each county,
who, with the Ordinary, shall be a body cor
porate to superintend education in their coun
ties. These county Boards of education shall
attend to all business, and report annually to
tho Superintendent asto the number of schools
in their counties, the highest, lowest, and
average number of children attending them,
the length of the continuance of the schools
and the amount of money received.
The Justices of the Inferior Court are au
thorized to levy a tax for school purposes, not
less than one-half of the estimated amount
duo that county from the common fund.—
The hoard, on or before the first of January,
shall draw on tho Treasury for the distribu
table share of the county, to he divided ac
cording tetßo number of pupils in each school.
This act'sliall not preclude a school which is
kept a part of tho year as a common school
from being kept the balance of the year as a
select or private school, to which no one but
a contributor may have the privilege of send
ing pupils.”
This bill, for want of timo was not acted
on ; hut it is to he hoped that tlio.se friends of
popular education who have put to their
hands to the plough, will not look hack till
something has been done to make broader
the foundation and to raise higher the stand
ard of education in Georgia. Let them perse
vere and success will b? certain ; and their
reward enduring nnVl enviable—more lasting
than marble —more imposing than honors.—
A system of public schools adapted to our
condition—-judiciously introduced, and effec
tively prosecuted—would, in a few years, by
elevating the masses to thenoblestand purest
of all enjoyments—intelligence and excellence,
contentment and refinement, make Georgia,
among the States of tho South, first in educa
tional advantages, as she is now first in railway
facilities. Georgia.
CLEANSING COTTON SEED.
An intelligent correspondent (says tho
Washington Union,) residing at Antwerp,
writes under date of May l'Jtli, 1858, that a
machine for cleansing cotton seed has lately
been invented, and is now in operation in that
city. From two to three tons of seed can ho
cleansed per day by a machine of four horse
power, with the. assistance of three persons.
The cotton surrounding the seed is taken
clean off, and can he soldtocarpet manufactu
rers and paper maker at from thirty to fifty
francs the one hundred kilogrammes. After
the oil is pressed out, theoakos remaining can
he sold for the same price as other cakes ‘ of
oleaginous seeds. Tho cost of tho machinery
is said not to he expensive. This is an im
portant invention, and promises to he cf in
calculable advantage to oottou buyers.
TRIAL OF THE BTEAH FIRE ENGINEB.
Boston, Aug. 31.—The trial of steam fire
engines to-day on Boston Common was at
tended by thousands, including Governor
Banks aud other distinguished men. Four
machines were present,— tho Philadelphia,
from Philadelphia ; tho Elisha Smith, of East
Boston ; the Lawrence, from Lawrenco, Mass.;
and the New Era, of Boston. The Philadel
phia made tho first trial, as follows :—Filled
a tank of twenty-six hundred gallons iu eight
minutes twenty-nine seconds, and threw a
horizontal stream of ono hundred aud sixty
three feet, aud a perpendicular one of one
Uuudrod an 1 ton feet; raised steam in eleven
minutes eight seconds. Tito length of the
hose, used by all, was two hundred feet. The
Elisha Smith filled tho tauk in eight miuutos
tiventy-fivo seconds, and throw a horizontal
stream of one hundred and forty foot, and
aperpendicularonoof ono hundred aud twen
ty-five feet; raised steam in thirteen minutes
and fifty-one seconds. Tho Lawrence machine
was withdrawn onaccountof breaking a small
bolt, soon after firing up. Tho proceedings
then were adjourned till half-past 2 o’clock.
The afternoon trials commenced with that
of the New Era, of Boston, which resulted as
follows : Filled tho tank in 7m. 32J5.; play
ed a horizontal stream 135 foot and a per
pendicular ono 90 feet; raisod steam iu 18m.
21s.
jjTlic Lawrenco then had a trial, resulting as
follows : Filled the tank in Bm. 355.; played
a horizontal stream 1541 feet anil a perpen
dicular one 110 foot; raised steam in 10J min

A Minister’s Walk and Conversation.—
The editor of the N. C. B csbyterinn, who is
at the Virginia Springs, \ has heard a good
story of speaker Orr and4ho Rev. Dr. AY., of
Lexington. Not long since, the story goes,
they were both at the warm springs, and met
in a public room of tho Hotel. They had
been sitting with other company, and after
awhile the Dr. rose and walked across the
room with the usual limp in iiis gait. Mr.
Orr immediately recognized him, and asked
if he were not the Chaplain of the University
of Virginia at such a time, naming the year.
The Dr. replied that he was. “I was there,”
said Mr. Orr, “a student, at tho University,
and I knew you by your iiinp.” “Well,”
said the Dr., “it seems my limiting made a
deeper impression on you than my preaching.”
The joke placed Mr. Orr in an awkward pre
dicament, and most men would have been un
able to extricate themselves, but lie replied
with ready wit: “Ah, Dr., it is tho highest
compliment we can pay a minister to say lie
is known by his walk rather than by his con
versation.”
SpringsLife.—Theeditor of tho Fredrieks
burg Nows, writing one of his lively letters
from the Greenbrier Whito Sulphur, draws
it (rather strong, we fear,)as follows :
“Hero we are, a community of seventeen
hundred, nobody working, all well dressed,
with nothing to do but to enjoy themselves—
all rich apparently, anil by reputation!—
Would you believe that a man came here to
find a poor girl for a wife and couldn’t find
one? They are all wealthy aristocrats.—
One lady was here for two weeks, who nore
throe different drosses every day, and left be
cause her other trunk had not arrived and
she would have to wear a dress a second time.
To see five thousand dollars worth of ilimonds,
lace, Ac., on one lady at a ball, is not consid
ered remarkable.”
