COMMON SCHOOLS.

Shall our children be educated? that is
the question; question that comes home 10
every man & woman in Wisconsin. It IS a
question Of grave and awful moment. Look
over the map Of our broad Territory. Towns
and Counties are hourly forming, to map over
its surface; and the settlements of Wiscon-
Sin will soon be spread over greater extent
Of land than is embraced in the limits OF any
one of the sisterhood of States. Have We any

The Supreme Court of our Territory has de.
cided in favor of the Constitutional power of
Supreme Court Commissioners to allow wrls
of certiorari. The decision was made In the
case OF Michael Cassen and Eleazer Smith VS.
David ]. Odell, in error, from the Iowa county
District Court. The reasons and grounds for
this decision, are set forth with much perspi-
Guilty and at considerable length by Judge Mil
Ter. The Judges exposition concludes thus:
"Afler full and fair examination, according
to these principles, of the statutes relating 10
Supreme Court Commissioners, and confer
ring upon them powers TO discharge the min
islerial duties above referred to, we cannot pro.
nounce them to be repugnant to the organic
law, and void. We shall not feel ourselves
justified in deciding, that the Legislative As
sembly possessed no power 10 provide for the
appointment Of Supreme Court Commissioners
wri. Of certiorari to Justice of the Peace.
For these reasons, the judgment of The Dis
trict Court of lowa County, quashing the Ger
iorari in this case, must be reversed; with an
order to said Court to restore the same to the
docket of said Court.

LICENSE TO RETAIL LIQUoR.-We do not
like our license laws. We wish 10 see these
laws amended. Licenses should be uniform;
but not too high nor yet very low. Iftoo high,
the license will not be taken; the retailer
will run the risk of fine, by selling clandes-
timely. Az exlravagant duties, operate as a
bounty on smuggling, SO do exlravagant Ecen-
ses operate as an inducement TO the retailer,
TO smuggle liquors down his customers red
throa,s. Retailers ought to pay $50, year;
they can stand that we'll enough, while they
retail at half dime drnk-and pay no more
tax to support the paupersm they produce,
than the rest Of US do. All who sell, ough, to
pay the same license. There is no reason in
the world why man who keeps nothing for
the public but rank 'whlskey, colored aud sun-
cClored, in dirty dosgery. should pay one
hundred dollars a year for the privilege Of re-
failing, while he who keeps two beds and a

The New Orleans Picayune of the 4th ul,.,
contains news from Vera Cruz TO the 2o!h,
and from the city of Mexico TO the 10th June.
The most important item of intelligence from
that quarter is the recommencement of the
war between Mexico and Texas. The Plea
yune says:
l.rom our papers and correspondence il,
would seem that Santa Anna has sent orders
to Gen. VOL 10 publish decree at once 10
the effect that the armislice with Texas is al
an end, and tina, hoslil,ies are to be immedi-
atesy recommended with yigor. Report has
il that Santa Anna has also ordered Gen. VOL
TO advance on Texas. He had called upon
Congress TO furnish him with 80 900 men and
81, 600, 900. wherewith to recommence The war
against Texas. Gen. Reyes has been sp-
pointed Minister Of War aud Marine, in place
OF Tornel, and General Gomez de la Coriina
first officer OF the war bureau. Gen. Nalentia
Canalizo has been chosen commander of the
army destined to operate against Texas. The
rev Minister of War has ordered the militia
into immediate and active service, and from
present appearances |; would seem that Santa
Anna is determined to make q strong attempt
10 suhjugate Texas.
The news of the rejection of the Annexation
Treaty had not reached Mexico. One Of our
correspondents, wiring from Vera Cruz under
date Of 29ih ult., says:
"Al is anxiety here to learn the fate Of The
treaty 10 the Senate. The United States frig-
ate Potomac arrived here three days since
the Vandalia, Nincennes, Somers and steamer
Union are momenIIy expected. ne don't like
to hear this much"

relieve the excess OF production. They point
us to the vast excess of agricultural industry
as il we wanted to send off and sell every pro-
duct we can raise out of the earth. There Is
great fallacy in such reasoning. Infinitely the
greater portion Of that which is produced on
The farm, goes directly to supply the wants OF
the producer. and support his family and his
laborers; to fatien the beef and pork for their
Subsistence; and TO seed his ground the next
year. So tina, market for a small part OF his
produce-especially after dedociing what he
will conveniently barter away in dealing with
the mechanics ia his neighborhood, is all he
requires. This is illustrated in our own coun'
Ity,-where we have most abundant market

great deal more, simply by the consumption
