upon any O,@e Ol tne aSenc1eS, tneTe WILL Oe some regulation similar to that of the bran- ches of the late U. s. Bank-for a note pay- able in Missouri will be paid there-only there--though it will be received every where for public dues-N. Y. Express.
 From the ". Y, Tribune, of Dec. 2. Important from Washington-We have in- tin1atiens from reliable sources that the Pre- ] sidelt and his Cabinet have had under con- sideration plan for assuring State integri- ty, restoring and fortifying State credit, l and relieving State and general embarrass- ments, by the nagnaniHous and vigorous ! action of the Federal Government. The plan, if we are rightly informed, contem- plates purchase by the General Govern- ment of the right of transporting, without further charge, Mails, Ordnance, Munitions of War, Stores, &c. &c. on all the Railroads and Canals of the several States, completed or in progress, at a fair stipulated price per mile, to be paid in bonds of the U. States or in a guaranty and ultimate payment of a part of those already issued by the States themselves All future collision respecting the carriage of the Mails, &c. will by this purchase be obviated, and the Government relieved from it's present discreditable posi- tion. of dependant on and chafferer for the right of way over roads which it must use, yet can do so only at the pleasure of States or Companies. On the other hand such a sum as the facilities offered by these Works to the Government are fairly worth would greatly aid the States in their efforts to maintain their pledged faith, and complete the formidable and most laudable enterpri- ses in which they are so deeply embarked. f, Our information states that this measure has received the deliberate and hearty ap- proval of President Tyler and his Cabinet, and will be ,unfoldcd and forcibly advoca- ted in the Reports from the several Depart ments, especially those of the Secretary of War and Postmaster General. Should it be presented and adopted, it's benignant inf1u- ences will be felt in every department of business and by every great ,.S5se.ssSt of the country.
 Who Pays 1.-The counties Of Adams, Am. iiy, Ilinds, Jefferson, Madison, Noxubee, Warren, Wilkinson, Washington, and Ya- zoo, gave at the late election 2,5O0 majority in favor of paying the State bonds. These ten counties pay into the State Treasury $l56,633 75!! or $l5,OOO more than half of the whole revenue of the State. Those who pay the most taxes are in favor of pay ying the bonds at any sacrifice, while those who pay the least keep up an eternal hurra about the burthens of taxation.
 The county of Adams pays over $35,OOO!! annually in taxes. This county gave 40 The county of Lawrence pays less than $2,OOO taxes, and gave 44O ma ajorty against paying the bonds, and thus silences the voice of Adams county Vicksburg Whig.
 A reo,med man.-Mr. Matthew Simpson, who has been baker in New York, Phila- delphia, and New Orleans, through the last twenty years, and who, through intemper. ance and irrelgion, failed in business in New Orleans in 1926. for several thousand dol lars, which ne still owes, having renounced liquor, been renewed to holioess, and regain ed his former competence, requests those whom he owes, whether he has compromised with them or not, 10 send their accounts to him and they shall be paid in full.

 GooD-FIRsT RATE-An incident occurred on board the Telegraph not long since, illus trative of the ridiculous pride and atfectation of the would be fashionable and the excruci- ating polite of this world. At supper lady sat down to the table with something of the flourish and toss of the head, expressive of her consequence and her utter contempt of all on board. An honest, queer looking, but SoAI0S1 JOuDS H'uIl Seuleu HIIISeIL OppOSNes and not being in the mood of waiting long. helped himself to piece of bread, and with his own knife took piece of butter to keep it company. The Lady @ immediately ori- dled up and showed by her manner some thing unusual had occurred 'wattah 7 said she, 'wattah ? take away that buttah, that rude man has had his knife in it! She was obeyed, and the butter vanished to her great relief. The poor fellow blushed to his shirt collar, and felt sufficiently embarrassed.- Before the supper was over, his politeness and laudable desire to retrieve his error, prompted him to pass the lady plate of dri-. her hand very politely and took some on her plate with her fingers. Jonathan instantly started up. and with loud voice cried out, waiter! !! take away this smoked beeE that rude woman has had her fingers on it! It was now her turn to blush. She was fairly done.-Ibd
