has been introduced i'm Congress, the OBJ
ject of which was not 10 allow any credit
on the sales of Public Lands, and TO fix
the price al one dollar and jitty cents pera-
ere, after October 1920. This motion o.
riginated III the senate, and passed that
body by very large majority. 1t was
taken up inthe House just be fore the close
OF the session, and underwent short dis
cnssion, but was laid aside without being
acted upon probably, owing TO want
Ofsnfiicient time. From the reception it
met with, however, there is but little rea-
son TO doubt that a large majority were
decidedly in its favor. This is measure
which, shoull il become law, will have
an important Influence upon The future
prosperity of our new states. In the i'm
provement and cultivation of our wild
lands much depends, in our opinion, on
the encouragement given 10 the middle

PORTUGUESE PRIZE.

NEW YORK, April g.. I'VE have a
Charleston paper of Wednesday last,
which states, that information was re-
ceived at Wilmington on the 25ih ultimO,
that large Portuguese ship Of about 700
tons, prize to some privateer, had strand
eel near Beaufort /; that the ship had gone
10 pieces, but most OF her valuable cargo,
consisting of coehineal, cotton, teas,
hides, indigo, &c. had been saved, and
was TO be sold on the spot. The Portu-

they murdered the passenger who lay
sleep in his birth. After numbering the
captain and crew on deck, they entered
the cabin, and thrust harpoon three
times into the passenger before il held
