Cosr OF FENcINe.--Mr. Biddle, in an
address before the Philadelphia Agri-
cultural Society, in l842, makes some
calculations as TO the cost of fencing,
which will surprise those who have
paid little attention tosthe subject. :
He estimates the expense of tarm1fen-
css in pennsylvania, and gives the data
upon which his calculations are based,
at $t05. 100000. He thinks that the
in,ereston this outlay and the annual
wear and tear Of fences. is equal, 10 an
annual tax ofSl0oo0,oo upon, the far

THE LEGISLATURE.

This body has fixed on this day as the day o.
its adjournment. Whether it will continue tc
drag on few days longer remains to be seen
Its proceedings for some time past have been
too inutie and ridiculous to commit to paper
otherwise than merely in the results; of which
the most that can be said is, that the homestead
exemption Bill IS lost and the Capitol, as far as
both Houses can do it, located at Lansing.
On Monday the House passed bill making
an appropriation for the purpose of opening q
road from Jackson to the site of the future cap
itol.
With regard to its signature by the Governor
many think that the bill is not one to which ii
is necessary. If the bill is to be considered an
ordinary enactment, it strikes us that the sig
nature of the Governor is necessary; if it is 10
be considered an amendment of the Conslitu-
ton it should be submitted to the people. One
or the other, we should think it must be. The
appropriations of money, however, will certain
ly require the Executive sanction, and by Veto
ing these bills, he can effectually preserve the
virgin soil of Lansing from the pollution of our
worthy Legislators; but, in the meantime,
where is the Capitol!

compelled to decline under the present aspects
of the case upon which they animadvert. That
the Press has a duty to perform in such cases,

of that dl ty, its conductors are responsible to

candidate for the Office of Governor, has been
appointed Minister Plenopotentiary, ard Envoy
Extraordinary, near his Majesty the Emperor
of Brazil, vice Henry A. Wise, recalled at his

his only qualification for this important station
is his coarse, brutal, and inscriptions services

Our STATE.-Another of those disgraceful
scenes, for which our State has become noto-
rious, is witnessed in the final establishment Of
The Capitol. Where, of all places, would the
interest of the State direct the location of the
Capitol! Last of all, we should suppose, in an
away from all the sites and thoroughfares OF
business. What motive should guide our Leg
islature in fixing its location. aside from the in
terest of the State! Last of all, we should
suppose, desire to benefit those curses of the
State, nonresident spectators and still less
should brides have moved them. And yet the
Capitol of the State OF Michigan has been loca-
ted, not on any of our business thoroughfares:
not at any of our important Towns: not where
the consequent rise of property would benefit
citizens of Michigan who have borne the heat
and burden of the day in settling the State: moi
in location eligible on any accountable il
sibe motive. In township owned by non- res
ident spectators, unsettled and inconvenient
Eastern capitalists again waved their po
tent wand, and the Capitol of the proud State
of Michigan, placed on the pinnacle of glory by
the sale of the Railroads, is transported through
the air, and dumped" down into the swampl
of Lansing.
Pledges of thousands of dollars for the benefi
of the State went for nothing. How mucf
was pledged for the benefit of individuals before
the present location of the Capitol was agreed
upon, we know not; we are apprehensiye, how
ever, that if some of the solicitors for the Cap,
itol had to repeat their efforts in the Hobbies, they
would never go out of the pockets of members
to look for their patriotism.
If the Governor shall veto this bill, he will
most certainly receive the thanks of unani-
nous people. If he does not, it is by no means
certain that at future Convention for the pnr-
pose of amending the Constitution, the Capito l
will be relocated.

Mexican intelligence.

1t is impossible to generalize all the various
accounts from Mexico and equally impossible
| to lay them before our readers in ertenso.-
Heavy bodies of troops are moveing in various
directions, and the point of attack was by scme
supposed to be Matamoros, others Saltillo, and
vet others suppose Santa Annals object to be-
to draw off the Americans from Vera Cruz, or
to block up the roads to Camargo and Tampico
Meantime the distress of the Mexican soldiery
is represented to be extreme. Perhaps this
may induce Santa Anna to make some decisive
demonstraton,butt the idea of advancing on Sal
tilIo and fighting the Americans in their intrencb
ments is most forloin one. Besides the move
ment of large bodies toward Saltillo the follow
ing sdlless of Santa Anna, published Jan. 9th,
looks like an attack on that place.

State Debt-The Senate yesterday reject
ed the bill which passed the House sometime
since, providing for the payment of interest on
the State debt, after l849. 1t is to be regret
ted that measure of such vital Importance to
the reputation and interests of Michigan, sho'd
have been defeated by any cause, and least of
all by influences which it is alleged killed this
bill, and to which we shall refer hereafter.
The great benefit anticipated from a reduc-
ton of the State debt are substantially destroy
ed by this repudating act of the Senate. 1t
will unavoidably fix upon Michigan the stigma
of reputation and dishonor. We still hope
that the Senate, after carefully looking at the
consequences of refusal to do that Justice to
our creditors, which both the executive and the
financial officers of the State have officially sta
ted to be within our ability, will retrace their
steps. We shall see.-Det. .4du.
The "inhuences" spoken of we understand
to be the influence of the Central and South
rem Railroad Companies, who wish by depress-
ing the credit of the State, to reduce the value
ofits bonds, for the purpose of purchasing them
to apply in payment of the Roads. Thus must
the character of the State become subservient
to the interests of stockholders. We too shall
refer to this again.
