APPORTIONMENT OF SCHOOL
FUNDS FOR Is4s.

Through the kindnes of Col. MARTIN,
Superintendent Of Common Schools, we
are enabled TO lay before our readers the
following statement of the amour, Of the
school funds due each county under the ap-
portonment for the year ls4s. The ap-
porlionment has been delayed for more
than month on account of the difficulty
of getting proper returns from a number
of counties under the law of lS47. MANY
counties reported under The law of 1916,
and this circumstance has occasioned the
delay in the apporlionment, which With
proper data, might have been made by the
first of February. The superintendent has
been at much trouble to be enabled to make
an appor,onment even thus early. 1t ap.
pears that ninety counties have made re.
ports, and the following table shows the
amount due each county, allowing each
child, over six and under twenty years of
age, 40 cents. Several counties have made
but partial reports, and six counties have
made no report at all. The number of
children reported over six years of age and
under 20 years is l4239s, and the amount
of money for distribution S56,959,2O.-
There are 10000 children in St. Louis
county not entitled 10 the benefit of the ap-
portionment Add to this number tho
probable number of children in those coun.
les from which no reports have been made,
and those which have made but partial re-
ports. and we have in the Stale of Missou-
ri l75,O0O children between the ages of
six and twenty years. 1t is estimated that
the whole number of minors in the State
would reach 100000.

GEN. SCoTTs CORRESPONDENCE
Washington correspondent of the Phia-

of the 18th:
The correspondence between Gen. Scott and
MIR. Secretary Marcy and Mr.. Trist, was laid be-
fore the Senate a few days since. This includes
everything in relation 10 all he difficulties except
three letters from Mr.. Trist which contain some
of the original causes Of provocaton. Whether
they were suppress sed mislaid does not appear II;
but, the first, fifth and eighth, as they are num-

There is one singular and striking fact in this

which must forcibly arrest public attention, The

PASO.
The ST. Louis Republican Of Tuesday,
says the steamer 81. Joseph arrived there
yesterday evening from the Missouri river.
She left Independence on Tuesday last. A
passenger on board is understood TO have
brought intelligence Of a startling charac-
ter from New Mexico. We did not see him.
but learn that he left Santa Fe about the 25,h
Of February; that he brings news of "a Bat.
lie between Col. Rails Regiment, stationed
at FL Paso, (about eight hundred men.) and
1000 Mexicans; that the American forces
were defeated. suffering loss of from 60
to 10 men; and that Col. Rails was retreat
ing before them. On the reception of the
news at Santa Fe, Gen. Price Immediately
ordered all his disposable force to march
to the aid of Col Rails. Col. Eas,on, with
his. command, was at Limata. some distance
from the scene of battle, and 80 miles south
of Albuquerque. The express, with the
mail, left Santa Fe three days before The
bearer of this news, was overtaken by him
and passed; but we ought soon to receive
news byit.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Old Howard Again Defeated
BENTON TRIUMPHANT!

From Judge Hill, one of the delegates
from this county to the Democratic Con-
vention which assembled at Jefferson City,
we learn the following items of its pro.
ceedings.
Trusteen Polk presided, assisted by Har.
rison Munday and Judge Leete. Stark,
Dunscum and Ament, Secretaries.
For candidate for Governor, there was
81 ballottings, in all. Refe withdrew Tor
was dropped) first; Mcbride second; Mar.
maduke third; and Hughes four,h-thus
leaving only King and Jackson before the
Convention, and on the 2lst ballot King
was chosen, beating Jackson some three
thousand votes.
Col. T. l.. Price, of Cole, was the sue.
cessfu candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
We did not learn who was the contending
candidate.
Judge Hill left Jefferson Wednesday af.
ternoon, when the Convention was still in
session.
These nominations were very unex.
pected here, both to democrats and wings;
the former looked exceedingly chagrined
and the latter, although they bear Mr.. Jack.
son no great love, yet from personal con.
siderations and county feeling, many Of
them were DESTROYS in his behalf.
Marmaduke was the first choice of the
ultra Bentonites. and after he was lost, they
were for any body to beat Jackson.
We shall soon have the full particulars
and we predict when the under-current o.
the Convention comes to light, it will pre-
sent some admirable specimens of log-roll
ing, both as to quantity and quality.
Meantime, we tender our democratic
friends our coincidence, in their trouble.

from the towns above Delphi, in comparison
with those below that point. The race O
red men who subsist only by the chase, re-
lnslng to cultivate the soil, having yielded
this fertile country to an agricultural people,
under benefcient arrangement Of Provi.
dence everywhere observable, the arm Of
the husbandman is now rapidly gaining the
mastery over this Forest and the region OF
the Upper Wabash has already reached that
stage in the history Of its improvement, from
which large and annually increasing sur
plus product may reasonably be anticipated
for transportation.
Below Delphi and from that point to the
South line Of Vigo county, the country in
its agricultural improvement is much more
advanced, and the aggregate value Of its sur
plus, collected for transportation to distant
markets is much larger. amounting as may
De seen by the foregoing tables of shipment
both by canal and river, TO the immense
sum OF near two and half million of dol
lars. This large sum Of money is returned
INTO the country in some shape or other,
either as money or merchandise, as the earn.
lngs OF our agricultural labor. And when
II is considered that this surplus of procuc-
ton was gathered from a district Of country
only 12O miles in length with the river, and
about 90 miles in width. being equal in
area to less than one fifth part Of the State
OF Indiana, the result would seem to indi-
cate good degree of prosperity, and an ell
couraging increase OF our permanent wealth.
IL may well be questioned whether an equal

do not overlook the fact that 1S41 was

lnantity Of the agricultural exports, the elf
