What 4 signal illustration Of the unpopu!artty Of
the S1b-treasurv scheme!
We now predict, in the fullest confidence, that
when we shall receive returns from each OF IN;
States the approaching session Of the several le-
yisla,urcs it will be found that the Slb-treasary
scheme is approved by the Goyorncr Of but five
States out Of the twentysix! Those five will be
New Hampshire, Missouri, Arkansas. Mississippi
and Alabama. The Govorncrs Of those States
which are counted on with m ,ch confidence by
the friends ofthc new scheme, to wit. Connecticut
New York, Illinois and Virginia, il not Michigan
we feel prepared to say also opposed to 1t, and
will doubtless express their disappearing senti-
ments when the proper OCCASION arrives.
Are any more indications wanting OF the I'M
bounded and unprecedented unpopulariy OF the
Sab-,rcasury schcmcs-[ Madisonian.
FLouR-,hc following ex,rac, from the Duff 10.
Commercial Advertiser, shows the value ct this
grea, staple commodity ofihc Norih-which OF II
self more THAI balances the almost only ono OF the
Southern Statcs:-
alt is calculate that the population of the Y. 5
estim,tc is grounded npon tho ra,ions of the army
and is therefore excessive; for children cat less

The land this year sown to wheat anlonnfs to -
600, 900 acres. % bushels to the acre IS low
estimate, this gives 2OO,OO0O0O bushels for the
produce of this year. This at 50 cents would
come to Sl6O, 100000. and make 10000 900 bbIs
of flour. Deduct lS,OOO, 900 for home consunp
ton. and VIC have surplus Of 22,O00,OoO bbls-
for storage expectation.
In 1922 flour was sold at from 50 so TO So 90
per bbl With enough on hand for three years
consumption, what price ausht i, at present TO
sustain?'
TAX ON KNowLEDGE-We were not aware OF
the immense cxpencc attended upon periodicals
in England. We learn that publication called
the Cyclopedia, in England, pays 100000 dollars
annually 70. excise the paper alone. The
Penny Magazine, which has about four times the
circulation, pays annually near 100000 dollars.
The entire income from the duty paper in
England, amounts to four millions of dollars; and
on every newspaper which Is sold, 3 cents
paid by the purchaser to the government.
Sir William Jones, speaking Of the Bible says:
81 have carefully and regularly perused the Holy
Scriptures, and am of opinion that the volume
contains more sublimity, purer morality, more
important history, and finer strains OF cioqucnce
than be collected from all other books, in
Whatever language they may have been writ
tea"
Monday last, contains the proceedings Of ono OF
the largest meetings ever held in that county,
for the purpose Of appointing delegates to a State
Convention. spirited address was introduced
by a committee appointed for that purpose, 10
the 'friends Of reform IN the State oil Missouri,
olutioDize the State, at the election. Missouri
can throw Of the yoke, and VIC sincerely believe
that she will.
DUEL.--A duel was fought on the 81 instant,
in kemper county, Miss between two gentle
men Of Dcmopolis, Ala named A. A. Anderson
aud John w. Henley, both Of them lawyers.
They exchanged shots at ten PAGES. The first
was without effect. The second slightly wound I
cd Anderson in both thighs, and cut Henie,'s
pantlOons Immediately below the vest. The al
fair was then amcably adjls'ed-ho,h parties
shook hands retired hons &tc'ter fricnhs ;h,n es-
