The STATE OF LONG IsLAND.-A meeting Of
delegates from the different parts Of the Island
was lately held to promote the object of making
the Island State. Unite Brooklyn and Will
iamsburgh and make it the capital.
This project has been discussed in former years.
No State has been divided since 1896. Long
Island has larger area than Rhode Island or
Delaware, and larger population than several of
the States.
Analogous precedents, although not strictly so,
arc set off from New York of the State of Yer.
mont in 1890; and Kentucky from Virginia in
1889; Tennessee from North Carolina in 1889.

ChRrnkfe AffairS.

BY the poIiteness of General Broacn, Cherokee
Agent, we have received the following note, which
may prove interesting TO those who are concerned
in the disbursements OF that Agency
CHEROKEE AGENcY, 22d March, JS4S.
SIR - this day entered upon the duties of the
office of Cherokee Agent. AS it will be some
time before can prepare to pay out the funds of
this Agency under the proper heads of appropria-
ton. have thought proper to advise you that,
the 9Th day of April, shall be here with the
money to pay all the Mechanics of the Cherokee
nation, for the year 1917, and, probably the Sd
and 4th quarters of 1916. As the money for
paying Mechanics, for the Sd and 4th quarters Of
1916, has not been sent on to this Office for dis
bursement, have concluded to await for instruc-
,ions, from the Superintendent, as 10 the manner
of dlsbursing. 1t seems there has been some
oversight in the Department in sending the
money for the whole of 1917, and Withholding the
two last quarters of 1916.
Respectfully,

From the Jefferson Enquirer.

From the Jefferson Enquirer.
We were shown letter a few days since. from
a gentleman in St. Louis, 10 Mr.. E. b. Corde, OF
this city, from which we are permitted 10 make
the following extract:
.sThe county court of ST. Louis county, have
after mature consideration made an order and en-
,ered it upon record, whereby they invest in the
Usage Rirer dissolution, the share of this county
in the proceeds of the sales of the 100000 acres
of land | hope that all the
counties on the Usage, will make SIMILAR appro-
priation of their share of that frnd."
We have transferred the above paragraph to
our columns, to show to readers that our
proposition to draw proportion of the Inter-
nal Improvement fund and appropriate it TO fit OBJ
ects in the counties interested, namely on q road
from the Missouri line TO this place, if original,
is not without precedent.
1t will be seen by this extract that our neigh
bors, the Mssourians, have divided the proceeds
of the Internal Improvement fund among the
counties, and each county is appropriating its
share upon an object most congenial to its cit
zens. The counties bordering on the Usage river
are about to appropriate their proportion to clean
ing out and rendering navigable that river. s..
Louis county, though several hundred miles below
q
true and enlightened spirit, has contributed her
portion to that object. She has overstepped the
short-sighted policy of picayune- wiseacres,
for the citizens of St. Louis well knows that what
starts from above must 90 below and, therefore
rendering the Usage navigab!e, will add her COM
merce. The products of the rich counties of
Cole, Morgan, Miller. Camden, and others, water
ed by the tributaries of that stream will concen-
trate at that city, and increase her commercial
wealth.
By the extract it will be seen that Missouri has
already adopted the policy of the division of this
fund the only fair and equitable mode Of it's
expenditure And we believe unless we adopt
similar policy, il will be - frittered" away.
We have taken the pains 10 calculate what
would be the resources of the counties of Wash
ng!on, Crawford, Madison and Benton, and how
the Internal Improvement fund Of this State,
for the purpose of applying to the con-
struction OF good road from the Missouri line
to this place, if it were divided out on fair and
equitable terms. For instance, according to the
number of free 1rhue males. Our calculation is
based upon general SuppositiOns not having Off
cial data to govern US. We consider as large
quantity of the lands sold at from 81 to Sc, and
none lower than 81 25. that the whole 100000
acres will yield, al the lowest estimate, after all
expenses of locating it, land agency, &C., 50 per
arcre which produces $1,000, 600, and it divided
among O,655 free white males, the number in
State in 1916, will give fraction less than
SIC so per head, yielding to each county as fol-
lows:

New York, March IS, 10 a. n.
The royal mail steamer Cambria was telegraph
ed off the harbOr this morning at A. NJ, and
shortly after arrived at her mooring. She sailed
from England on the Goth uIt., and brings the fol-
lowing highly important and interesting news:
The intelligence from France is of startling
character. That country is again distrac ted by
revolution. Louis Philippe has been forced 10
abdcate The throne: and republican form Of
government has been proclaimed. The Royal
family have been compelled TO leave Paris. The

Arkansas intelligencer., 1848-04-01

Thus it is shown 10 be the interest of those coun-
ties to dissolve the Internal Improvement fund,
and to appropriate their proportion to the con-
struction of turnpike road, which will enable
the farmers of the surrounding country to get to
market with their produce; while, at the same
time, The funds which they appropriate for general
improvements, will yield an income to the coun.
ties that will answer all their county road purpo-
ses.
On the other hand, the probability is very strong
that the whole fund may be converted to purposes
wholly foreign to the object that Congress had in
view when it made the appropriation, be ex-
pended in unequal manner in favorte sections
Of the State, or be " frittered' away to another
generation.
We have no doubt that our sister counties on
the south side of the rivor would see their true
interest and desire to extend the contemplated from
tho Arkansas 10 Red river and will, therefore
present to them the amount Of this fund that will
fall to their share, under ejaculation
