ing of the corporation. Hon. George Bliss the
President of the Company, reviewed the state
ment published by the President of the Worces-
ter Company, in the Daily Advertiser of yester-

forty cents per passenger, while the Western road

LYNCH Law. A negro man named Yeoman,
who had been arrested in Baker County, Ga, and
discharged on habeas corpus, was taken by some
Z" gentleman TO Florida where he had been, ac-
cording TO his own confession, one of an organ
lied gang Of negro thieves and murderers On
his arrival at Jefferson County, Florida, meet
ing of citizens to the number of 80 was assembled,
and after an investigation OF the facts, vote was
taken which resulted in 81 in favor of hanging :
him and % against it. Yeoman was accordingly
executed on the I'd instant, and the citizens have
offered a reward of $1,000 for others supposed 10
have been connected with him. The insecurity
Of the jais, and the apprehension that his accom-
plices would rescue him, are the chief reasons
given for this summary act.

IMORTANT FROM MEXICO.

PENSACOLA, Fla, Jan. 2. The ST Mary's
came in yesterday bringing news from the City
of Mexico as late as the 10Th of Dec. The most
important feature of her intelligence is the rres-
olue spirit manifested by the Mexican Govern
ment in the arrangement of the American affairs,
the opposition having evidently frightened Senior
Herrera from the course which he had designed
to pursue.
On landing at Vera Cruz Mr. Slidell was re-
ceived with salute of the usual number of guns
and all due courtesies were extended to him in
that city and in Mexico, but up to the time of the
st. Mary's leaving, no official intercourse had
been opened, and indeed he had not been official
ly received by the President.
The Government seems well disposed, but is
afraid to go forward, unless every measure and
step are approved seriatim by the People, or by
those who pretend to represent them.

OLIVER SMITHS WILL. 1t appears from
statement prepared from the minutes of the ma
ker of Mr. Smiths Will, pubshedin the Amherst
Express, that our previous publication of the pro-
visions of that instrument were materially incor-
rect.
With the exception Of $4,000 given to the
Colonization Society, all the important legacies in
the will are confined to eight towns 10 this inn
mediate vicinity.
The sum of 100000 is to be paid over by Mr.
Smiths Executors to board of Trustees, which
is not to be appropriateduntil it amounts to $780,
600. sum of money at per cent interest
doublesl In about eleven years and ten months
At the expiration of this time therefore this fund
becomes available for its ultimate purposes.
The following are the minutes referred to-
Having constituted Board of Trustees, Mr.
Smith directs his executors TO pay over to them
the sum of 100000, which is to be an accumu-
lating fund until it amounts to 100000
The 800, 900 is then to be divided into three
separate funds, viz
|. A fund OF $50 900, which is still to remain
on interest for sixty years, and is then to be APP
piled to the establishment OF an agricultural
school at Northampton.
III. permanent fund Of $l0, 900, the income
of whichis to be applied to forward the objects OF
the Colonization Society: and in certain contn-
gencies the fund itself TO fall into the Agricultu-
raj School Fund.
Ill. permanent fund OF $500, 900, the in
come of which is to be applied to four charities,
as follows
l. The income $3.50 900 to be applied for the
benefit Of INDECENT boys of good character, or
phans having the preference, to be selected by
the trustees from the eight towns named. The
boys selected not to be under twelve years of
age, and to be bound out by the trustees to re-
spectacle families until they arrive at the age of
twenty-one years. Each young man is then to
be accommodated with loan Of $500, for which
he is to give his note interest, payable in five
years. At the end of that time, if the young man
still sustains good character, the note is to be
given up, and the principal and interest becomes
the property of the individual.
2. The income of 100000, to be applied in a
very similar manner for the benefit of INDECENT
girls; $780, to constitute a marriage portion.
3. The income of $45 900 to be applied for the
benefit OF INDECENT young women of good charac-
ter, over II years of age, each receiving $50 as
marriage portion,
a. The income OF S45 900 10 be applied for the
benefit of INDECENT widows, with one or more
children. ntt
The residue OF the estate, after paying a few
small legacies, is made contingent fund 10 meet
all expenses and pay all losses which may occur
in the management Of the funds above named
and If the income Of the same is more than sufIi-
ciont for that purpose, the balance 10 be applied
in the same manner as the income Of the funds
Should one or more OF the eight towns refuse
or neglect TO appoint the agent and accept the
provisions named, the trust and benefits devolve
upon the accepting towns.

DIVISION OF THE STATE.

A correspondent of the Liberty Tribune,
writing OH the subject of the rejection of
the Constitution, and the evils under which
we labor under the present Constitution,
proposes a division Of the State as the
easiest and cheapest mode of settling the
difficulty. He thinks the small counties
will never yield their power, without being
forced-whereas, equalzing representa-
ton, by allowing each county TO have one
represen,ative--making the population of
the smallest county the ratio-wll SO in
crease the expense of the State, and con-
sequently the taxes of the people, that ii
would be unbearable, and hence, he is in
favor of division of the State, on which
subject he says:
Ii it again be asked can no plan
be devised by which those evils may be avoidedi
answer under a different organization there car
be such plan devised. 1t is well known that
in point of territory our State is the largest in the
union. 1t is also known that the extent or this
State is amply sufficient 10 form two respectable
States, which will be above the medium size o
the States OF this conlederacy. 1t is estimated
that the area OF this State does not fall short OF II
thousand square miles, this would give to eacl
State some thirty five thousand square miles whcl
repeat is above the medium size OF the States o
this con(ederacy. 1t will be seen by reference
TO the map that the distance from the north ives
corner OF the State to the South east corner, can
not fall much short OF seven hundred miles, Will
the medium breadth Of the State is aboutwo hun
bred and thirty miles. thus it will be seen in poin
of convenience and compartness the form OF GU
. State is very unfortunate; this Inconvenience
might be remedied to great extent by division

VEToEs.-Polk's veto of the French
Spoliation BIZ, is exciting more Indignation
in the public mind, than his veto of the
harbor and river bill. This bill provided
for the payment of claims arising out of
captures and depredations committed by
the French, some forty years ago. The
Justice of these claims were not denied, but
the plea that they had been left unsettled
so long, and the exhausted state of the
Treasury, is set up against them! Polk
does not hesitate 10 ask two millions Of
dollars TO purchase peace, or for appro-
priation of millions upon millions to carry
on war he has forced upon the country,
but when bill has passed Congress for
the protection of the lives and property
of our citizens, or for indemnifcation for
losses sustained, he vetoes one upon con-
stitutonal grounds and the other because
he has not the money to pay. Polk be-
longs 10 that class of men who have had
greatness "thrust upon them"-and, as is
generally the case, he uses those who made
him great the worst.

CHEROKEE DIFFICULTIES.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Evening Post says:
81 am informed that the Cherokee com.
missioners have settled upon the principles
Of their decision and award between the lit
igating parties in the protracted controver-
sy in that nation. They decide upon a
compromise of claims. They decide that
the whole country west of the Mississippi
belongs to the whole nation equally and
that no portion Of the tribe have an excu.
sive title to it. This is adverse TO the wes-
tern Cherokees or old settlers.
But they decide that the latter party are
entitled to proportIonate share of the fund
created by the sale of the Cherokee country
east in 1885, and that they are now emit
tied to considerable amount OF the per
capital money to be divided under that trea.
ty. They decide that many charges have
been improperly made by the United States
against the S5,000,O00 fund which must be
made good 10 the Cherokees, but they do
not include in this class Of expenditures the
1851 900 aledged to have been fraudulent,
ly allowed and paid to John Ross.
Finally they will recommend to the Pres
ldent the conclusion OF treaty with the
Cherokees, by which specific sum shall be
paid to the complaining parties, and shall
be paid to the complaining parties, and by
which It shall be provided that the criminal
laws and jurisdiction OF the United States
shall be extended over the lands and coun.
try OF the tribe. A meeting of the parties
and the commissioners will be held to-mor-
row.
