ted entirely TO The concerns Of The State. That
part Of j, relating 10 the banking institutions Of the
STATE. and par,icuIarly 10 The Union Bank will be
interesting to al, The Governor presents some
striking and iorcble remarks respecting the dispose
of the State bonds, the va dy Of the sale Of which
no asserts has never been ADMITTED by the Exeeu-
tive. He also speaks briefly but very pointedly
upon the subject of additional taxation to pay the
interest accruug on the bonds The message, we
consider upon the whole, an excellent State paper
and we commend il TO the careful perusa OF all.
The Secretary and Treasurer Of the Franklin
Academy was prepared TO submit his report--which
was intended for this paper. But The President
Doct. Taliaierro was absent on professional en-
Racements. The report shall appear, next week
or We have had several arrivals from Mobile
this week. Large quantities of Goods and Groce'
RES have been brought up, and business Is beginning
10 be hrisk in town. Articles can be obtained here
nearly, or quite MS cheap as in Mobile. See Mr..
Simpsons advertisement in ,o-day's paper
or Now, that il Is n matter pretty well ascertain
ed and generally admitted that Daniel Webster is 10
be the Premier ofihe new Administration, we hope
that the wing papers will acknowledge "the cora"
and ADM, that Harrison is a federalisL
To- We are without any late news from Wash
ng,on. Our exchange papers from the North have
tailed 10 come lately owing, we suppose, principally
10 bad roads and bad weather. It seems 20 be the
gen, raj impression tina, Harrison will have called
session Of Congress Blu, the knowing ones" are
rather mum upon the subject. The wings are all
hungry for Office, aud some Of them will siarve, il
they don't receive part Of the loaves and fishes
before the end Of March.
AT LAST Gen Harrison has recently resigned
lie Office Of Clerk Of the Common Pleas Of Ham'loo

MARSHAL OF THE NORTHERN DISTRICT
We have been handed for publcalic" the loIow-
iny repor, Of the Grand Jury TO The District Court
Of the United States for the Northern District Of
Missssipp.--We give place to il with grea, pleas
uYe. The commentator bestowed by the jury on
Marshal Weir, is, we are satisfied, justly due
There is not, in our opmiou--and we have had
good means Of judghg--a more strict or efficient
Marshal in the Union than Aduphus G. Wen is.
The Grand Jury 10 whom was referred the Elk
animation Of the Census returns of this Dstric,,and
other business beg leave 10 report 10 the Honorable
United States Court Of the Northern District ol
Mississippi, that they have gwen said returns a
critical examination and compared them with the
aggregates, as Also The statistical account and re-
csp,uIa,on and find tie sane 10 have been done
in accor lance, VITA the act ofConRress regulating
the abect and that the whole is correct. No other
business has been presented for M investigation -
The correctness aud neetness OF style IN Which
the Marshal has performed his duty IN relation 10
the Census, is such, as TO command our highest
commentator, ~ the expression OF which, we hope
we shall not incur the charge of oi6cousneSs or OF
having travelled beyond the line olusr duty.
