The very able history Of the Ordinance in last
weeks Examiner, ought to have been credited
to the National Intelligencer. The author of it
is Peter Force, ESQ. Our young men, espe-
cially our young professional friends, should
make themselves thoroughly familiar with this,
and kindred subjects.
1t has long been a moot point whether
THOMAS JEFFERSON was not really entitled 10
the credit Of this important ordinance. Not
that Mr.. Dane did not write il, and offer it, and
propose its immediate adoption. This is ad-
mitted. Bu:tha long before this was done, the
idea-the spirit which gave success to the pro-
Position-was started by Thomas Jefferson
embodied by him-and so directed, through his
efforts, that il became the law of the land.
This would be good subject for the moo,
court Of the Law School, in the rooms of the
Lyceum. IL Southern man be really entitled
TO this credit, he should have it.

CHILD MuRDKR.,--We regret that we are
compelled 10 notice a second occurrence OF
this most Infamous crime in this county with
in the short period Of Ten months. On the
18th inst, in the township of Greensburg,
tine body Of an infant child was found hang
ing against drift in the Blanchard river.
A coroner's jury was summoned by John
Ramsey, Esq, and the result Of the inquest
held upon the body was, that the child came
TO its death by violence, and that one Elcan-
OF Wing was guilty, as an accessory before
the fact. The violence appears 10 have
been inflicted upon The birth of the infant,
and before the body was thrown into the riy-
or, in whish il probably lain for two or three
months, putrefacion having commenced.
An examination was held on Monday last
before Esqrs. Grove and Knapp, which result
ed in tho discharge Of Mrs. Wing. The ev-
idence ofthe post moriem examination CIV
en- by Dr. T. X. Allen, which was highly
crsditable to him as a man Of observation
and science in his profession, and which was
fully sustained by tho testimony Of Drs. God
frey and Pomeroy, left litte doubt but that
the child had been born alive, and that its
death was caused by violence; but the State
wholly failed 10 connect Mrs. Wing with the
commission Of the crime. II may be proper

THE LOAN TAKEN.--We have the pleasure
Of announcing that the whele loan Of eigh-
teen milliens is taken abors par, at prem.
um varying from one-egh'h to two per cent.
The whole amount bid was $50, ,79O, 1852, Of
which the sum Of $54, ,926, ,5S3 was bid abope
par, and the remainder 81, 1854, 200 at par
Thus, it will be perceived that the bids at
premium largely exceeded three times the
amount Of the lean advertised. Considera.
BILE Sums are taken for trustees and execu-
tors, for savings banks and persons net in
business, for actual investment, and who de-
sire to pay the money immediately The
Secretary, however, has guarded against cal
ling in the loan more rapidly than It is want
ed; for, were he to do so, it wonld make the
government pay interest prematursly, and
derange the business Of the country by too
large call for specie in any one month
The bids of ffifiy-eight millions ofihis loan,
demonstrate the just confidence Of the peo-
pie in their own government, and tho ample
resources and wealth of the conntry. No
doubt this auspicious result was aided by the
recent glorious victories at Buena Vista and
l,Vera Cruz under our heroic lenders, Taylor
and Scott; but the successful ,rcsult Of the
tariff Of l646 which il is demonstrated, Dill
yield an annual reuenac of thirty millions Of
dollars, and the new military contributions

ted 10 swell the bids Washington Unios.
