The Legislature of Virginia promptly met

of the STATE of Ohio for The settlement, by
compact, of the questions of boundary, and
llso Of the use, ,navgation, and jurisdiction

In organizing the three Regiments of VOL
unteers for the Mexican war last year, the
State incurred liability Of more ihan thirty
thousand dollars, considerable portion o:
which remains as yet unpald by the United
States Government; ss'will more fully appear
by the report of the Quar,ermas,er ieneral.
Two other Regiments, being the fourth and
fifth Infantry, aud one company of Cavalry,
have his year volunteered, and are now in
Mexico. In The organ Estion of these latter
troops, aid no, consider s,ysef either all-
,horizcd or called upon to expend large sums
of money; first, because Congress had mad'

President, and the Legislature of Ohio had
moi, for that purpose placed funds al my dis
posal; and, secondly, because the requisition
itself contained the following clause: "Thc
proper officers OF the Staff Department will
be Immediately sen. to the place of rend, z
vous, with funds 10 defray the necessary Ga
penscs, which have been incurred agreeable
to law"

ary, and The moral and religious insIrumanI-
al,ies brought into requisition, including the
largely Increased Library for Tie use OF thr

are exercising, | trust wholesome influence
upon their character. No duty inirusted to
government, is more difficult otexect lion than
that of The punishment, Of crime. The grea'
ohiec. To be kept in view is, the protection ot
society, by the confinement, aud especially
by the reformation of .be criminals, in such
