era distinguished gentlemen We should imagine
that this work has high claims upon the patronIg,
of those who engaged in the important VOL
-oi Educ alton If our schools are not well con-
Quoted, il must arise from criminal apathy and in
dolence the part of the Instructors.-'Ihe most
powerful ntellects in our land are devoted to the
illustration of the grand principles of physical, and
moral education. Sincerely do we wish that this
excellent work could be read and understood by
all the committees who have the management of
common schools throughout the state. There is
too little importance attached to the Office of a
teacher; and it is no very uncommon event to find
nm ignoramns paid ten or twelve dollars month,
when perhaps trenty dollars would command the
services Of qualified individual. Our schools are
our national nurseries.-IIundreds and thousands
must enter upon life with other advantages than
are furnished by the district school.--lf these
schools were literally patronIZed, and ably con-
ducted, they would supply elements for future
Thought, and lasting improvement how Of
ten is the honorable post Of teacher filled by an in
,Iiydual utterly incompetent to the duties of in
struct on'-A man without mind, or what is
much the same thing, with an undscplined one,is
employed to mysiify and darken every rudiment of
knowledge and the poor children pass wear after
year without the acquisition of that learning which
would render them the ornaments and benefactors
Of their country. We wish every school commit
tee would furnish the teacher with this cheap and
valuable erodical.-Perhaps it would be one Of
the mos, useful expenditures in the year.

performer by the name ofAndcrson, who,
while on his passage to this country from

sions highly derogatory to the American
character, was not permitted to appear
on the stagc-four liifhs of the audience
joining in the shouts and Kisses that were
raised against him. The manager was
finally obliged to come forward and an
nounce that he should be Withdrawn. This
sufficed, and the performances went on.

1 The Cotton Crop-4Ye are indebted .o tie polite
 ness of MT J. Austill just returned from tour for the purpose of examining into the prospects of the ensuing Cotton Crops the Southern section of the
 State, for information the subject which will not be unacceptable to our commercial readers.
 Mir Austlll visited Monroe Wilcox, Dallas Lowndes, Montgomery, Greene, Tuscaloosa and Pickens and the results of observations made Tn these sections doubtless form grounds for opinion on the whole crop, upon which we may safely rely. It twas found upon inquiry instituted for the purpose of ascertain
 ing the probable extent of ground put under cultva- ton this year, that it exceeded in the sections exa- mined, the amount of the last by twenty-five per cent In the same plantations which in 1S30 embraced cultivation of fifteen thousand, the amount was in- creased this yeart eighteen thousand seven hundred and fifty acres This result obtained by extend- ing inquiries to plantations of all dimensions new and old and although the increase is surprising, our
 informant is satisfied, that events will shew a corres- bonding increase throughout the South otthe State, or that the dimnton from this proportion will not ex- ceed five six per cent. The fifteen thousand acres mentioned, produced seven thousand nine hundred and ninety-one bales of Cotton If the magnitude usual with planters. If we take this for basis to calculate the whole amount of land subjected to the cultivation of Cotton in this section of the State in 1880, we find the result nearly two hundred and twelve thousand four hundred and syty-two acres. And if the supposed proportional increase of this year prove true, there is now in cultivation nearly two hundred and sxty-fve thousand five hundred and seventy-seven 1.-the product of the land cul- tivaed in the of the plantations examined fur nishes just standard for the residue of this section of the State then the lands of South Alabama yield more than bale, or more than four hundred pounds of Cotton ill condition for market, to two acres.- Notwithstanding, however, the expectation which may have been raised by the great increase of sub dued lands alluded to, the greatest crop that be expected this season, our informant is of opinion will aXcapd OF he lncf wi unfay hla weather might yet possibly be very much reduced The heavy rains for which the past has been remarkable. diminished greatly the product of the fields; and nothing but suspicious weather for the young crop of bolls that advancing to maturity, could supply the deficiency. Depending upon this circumstance, it does if frost early nter enes the crop will not reach the extent of that of the last year, by very material difference
 Much rain tends to make Cotton of pale color, and the crop by this pecuIiarty of the will probably be injured in its beauty, it may be in it's magnitude. The staple, however, quality of more importance than color il is said, will not be at all i'm paired, but good as that ofany previous crop Mobile Patriot, 14h inst

From the Washington Globe of October 8.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. 18th, 1851.
 Dear Sir.-l hasten to inform you of an important decision made by the Court of Common Pleas for this county, this day-a decision which I hope will open the eyes of the people of the United States as to the gigantic powers expressed by the Bank of the United States and the mIschievous effects of that exercise on the community at large. Some weeks ago. person named Cunningham, tried for having Tn possession certain counterfeit notes, purpoting to be notes of the President Directors and Company of the Bank of United States-knowng the same to be forged and with intent to utter" The counsel for the prisoner conended that the indictment ought to be quashed inasmuch as the document produc- ed in evidence was not note purporng to be of the United States Bank, but check drawn by the President of the Branch Bank at Louisville, coul- tersigned by the Cashier residing in Philadelphia It was agreed, however, that the case should be lerred to the jury, and the man was convicted His counsel then give notice that they would move for arrest of judgement-and the lay over till yes- terday, when the motion made, and the polnt argued and concluded this day-when Mir Edward King, in eloquent and impressive speech ,convinc- ed the court that the indictment bad not been sus- tained and the prisoner was liberated
 Mir King in his argument, showed most clearly that the Bank had not legal authority for putting in circulation Bank notes those checks-that no note under $100 could be legally made payable to order that the Bank is completely irresponsible for the payment of those checks-that the Bank had at two 
 authority to appoint two additional officers to sign notes, as the President and Cashier could not sign sufficient number of notes for the currency of the counry-that the request was refused on the ground that by multiplying the signers of notes, facilities would be given to forgeries-that notwithstanding Congress had refused two additional sgners yet the Bank had increased the number to 25-by the Pres- dents of the 24 Branches being authorized by the Directors to sign notes-that this was an illegal stretch of power unauthorized by the Charter, or any other law-and finally, that there is no law of the State of Ohio for punisbing any one for having forged checks in possession.
 Thus, Sir, the whole currency of the Western country so far ten and five dollar notes go has been shewn to be illegal, and the Bank irresponsible for their payment And, also. that there is no way by which any punishment can be inflicted on such villains may have forged checks in possession with intent to utter them.
 have understood that 15 persons were convicted last Session of our Court, and are in the Pen- tentiary, with many others from various other coun ties of the State, and who will no doubt, be let loose upon the public as soon as this decision has been made public.
 am sorry that time will not permit my further observation of the mischief arising from this state of things but perhaps you may hear something further after next Saturday.
