rhcrc are rmors aoat here that owing the hostile at
de assumed BY the Wing members of Georgia and quasi
Wig member from Virginia (Mr Morton) agansf the Ad-
nstraon by attempting throw the organization OF the
Iouse into the hands of their political opponents both Mr.
Crawford and Mr. Preston seriously entertained The idea OF
sGderng their designations as members oil enera la!ol
abrct For If the representatives from their STATES com
renee factous opposition 10 the Administration IN me
ery first of their Congressional career Is virtually
assault upon the course Of both The Secretaries OF war
gains, Mr.. Crawford, but cannot against Mr fres-
in and for this reason. Mr. Morton who goes with
be Georgia factionists vas elected IN OPPOSITION 70
dr. Pcndeton, who the regular Wing candidate and
more indebted Locooco than TO Wing voIes Tor his seat
10 Congress. While Mr. Raymond, who was run as The
Nhip candidate from the Wheeling district against the noto-
ous Thompson the revler Of the Administration has gone
rith the friends Of the administration for MIR winthrop as
Speaker throughout AR Preston therefore, is sustained by
Inc regularly elected Wing representative from Virginia.
But Mr. Crawords position is far different have myself,
however idea either Of the members Of the Cabinet
FAMED will tender their rosignaons nor DO oee'e 'hey
, would be accepted by the President If rendered
The report OF the Secretary OF the Interior WIN the COM
nissoners report will exhibit immense fund Of useful
information the public and VIII contain recoliefuaois
that will command universal appreciation The latter State
paper learn shows that the whole area Of public LANDS
Ever held BY the Government Of the United States from rs
oeanizaon 10 that acquired under the Treaty Of SS with
Mexico is equal Fifteen Hundred and Eghty:four an,
lion acres That of this domain but one hundred ana
fortysi1 millions of have thus far been disposed OIL

subject that additional donation for schoo purposes be-
osdes the sixteenth section be made by Congress TO each
rownsbip-a recommendation that will find hearty response
Tin the bosom of every friend of Education throughout our
divide spread land. Another recommendation winch learn
s urged bv the Commissioner in his report is that suitable
rewaTds should be held by the General Government for
0mpoyemen in the important branches of agriculture, as
wc as of the and sciences This 1t is proposed to do
by an appropriation for the purpose OF small portion oi me
proceeds of the public lands and Is 10 be hoped mat he su
peston will tho early and favorable acon Of congress
The derived from the sales Of tne puoc anus mas
,nost materially diminished Notwithstanding the number Of
nces sold is much greater during the than the year pre-
ocedinp it, This arises from the large number OF bounty

led does not vary fraction either way from forty thousand

The excitement Is very great growing Out o me conic
interests that are work prevent the organization Of
the House save upon sectional grounds which refrain from
