HEDGES.

A the season is near It hand for plant
ing and sowing, We would call the attention
Of our farmers to the importance Of grow
ing live fences.
To this .Prairie Vest where the grea,
difficulty Is scarcity VI timber, We should
ct once turn our attention TO live fences
Our fencing timber is scarce, and but
small portion Of our country is furnished
With stone for fencing purposes. Live fen
ces, therefore, must be sooner Or later re-
sorted 10 40 q matter OF necessity, and they
NAV be a. Z matter Of ultimate economy.
We are satisfied, that we have abundant
materials, in the Indigenous growth Of our
country, for live fences, and that we can,
after we have profi.ed more from expert
ecce-and the sooner we acquire this the
better--advantageously employ them in
growing live fences. The greatest bar to
our progress in the business is, want Of pa.
tience, and q just perception Of our ultimate
interest. II we could grow live fences ss
readily a. We can construct dead ones,
there would be no hesitating 10 resorting
to them, however expensive. But the
idea Of devo,ing six or seven years to
Bringing them TO perfection, deters many
from planting hedges, as il does fruit and
ornamental trees. The object Of the par
ent should be invariably, not only to pro-
vide the means of promoting his own CON-
fort, bat to lay up an inheritance for his
children, and this, he should consider, is as
effectuaIIy done by enhancing the value Of
the acres, which are to constitute the pat
rimony, by good and permanent live fen
ces, orchards Of good fruit, and rural EN-
bellishments, as by any other means. Live
fences not only serve to enclose lands, bu.
would afford highly beneficial shelter to
farm crops, and add greatly to the beauty
Of the landscape.

~ The above is a brief account ofthe tri
al of two Chippewas for the murder of two
white men. The names Of the murdered
persons were Andrew J. Drake and Alexan-
der Livingston, The Indians were both
found guilty Of murder, and sentenced by
Judge Knowlton, to be hung at Willow Riv
er, Wisconsin, on the 25th October. 1t is
believed that the ignorant savage, who knows
no lam but that of revenge, will not be dealt
more severely with than his more fortunate
white neighbors-and that while the Red
man is made to suffer the penalty, he may
also be benefited by the protection of the
law of the white men. Who can estimate
the amount Of misery which the Indian exPe-
riences from the treatment which he too often
receives from lawless white men

LbI Flight of the sisitenxyans of Traverse
des Sioux.
A communication from Mr.. Hopkins, q
Traverse des Sioux, informs us of the flight
ofthe Sisitonwans from that place, and the
reasons why they fled. For the sake o.
brevity, the substance is only given below,
When the Indians of Traverse des Sioux
returned from their summer hunts to then
corn fields, an elderly man named Hotonman'
found that the cattle had destroyed nearly all
his little field. Magnifed by a g lance into
the future, the consequences ofthe loss file

Of his sullen soul. .
By kind words and the promise of full r.

The opinion is confidently expressed
that the estimated receipts above stated
will be found to approximate the truth,
should an adherence to the policy pursued
by the last Legislature, i'll relation 10 pre-
miums on charter, and other financial mea
sures be authorized and countInued.-
Should such be the case, the above sum,
at the present rates, would eXingush up
wards OF four hundred thousand dollars OF
the funded debt, during the present fiscal
year. The sources from which the sink
ing fund is supplied must necessarily in
crease. The tax on collateral inheritance,
and on theatre, circus and menagerie IL
cences, prior to the act creating a sinking
fund, yielded TO the Treasury about the
sum of S45, 600 annually. BY the provi-
sions of that act, these have been increased
to the sums above stated, and the other
sources of revenue have been created by
recommendations heretofore made TO the
Legislature.
With these means for the supply OF the
sinking fund, together with such additions
as the probable resources of the Treasury,
from time to time may justify, it is suscep-
tible of easy calculation TO determine, how
nearly approaches the period when the
State taxes may be repealed, and the bur-
then Of the people removed. So manifest
ly important are these results upon the
industrial pursuits of the citizens, and the
interests and honor of the State, it is sug-
gested for consideration whether good pol
icy would not require the transfer of all
balances in the Treasury at the end OF
each year to the Commissioners of the said
Fund.
Every consideration that can impose
Itself on a government demands the pay
ment oflhe public debt. The local advan
tages of our Commonwealth the salu-
brity of our climate the vastness of our
mineral posites-the fertility of our sol |
and the prosperity and happiness the
people, alike require the repeal ola system
OF laws, which compel emigration pre-
vent the settlement of uncuItivated lands
drive capital from our borders, and para
lyze the industry of every class of our citi-
zens! Should these balances remain
in the Treasury unappropriatea to the
SAID Fund. the history of the past VIII re-
mind MS that prod igal expenditures will
De made 50 objects of diminished impor-
tance.
The subject OF the revision and equali-
cation of the laws for raising revenue. is
again earnestly pressed upon the attention
ofthe Legislature Great injustice arises
under existing enactments, from the want

The foregoing estimated balance in the
Treasury, at the end of the fiscal year
1850, would appear TO justify the appro-
priation of $4,000 toward the completion
of the Western Reservoir al Johnstown,
as hereinafter recommended. 1t would
also authorize the appropriation of sum
not less Than 100000, in addition to the
amount already appropriated, to be ex-
pended in the completion of the North
Branch Canal.
The Legislature at its last session au-
thorized the reissue of the relief notes
then in circulation, and suspended their
cancellation for three years.
The amount of the whole
issue now outstanding is S653,l 90
The amount paid into the
Treasury and supplied by
new issue is 443,5 ,537 90

Provision should be made al an early
day for arrangements with the creditors
holding these claims. To permit them to
remain in their present condition, would
not only evince an iRdisposition to pay our
just debts, but would also operate iuiuri-
ously to the holders Of the stock, by COM
pelling sales at a price below their par val
ue. The annual demands upon the Trea-
sury, with the present means of the State,
will not permit the payment of these loans;
and the only practicable mode which sug-
gests itself seems TO be the negotiation of
new loans, supulailng an extension Of the
time of payment. 1t is believed that such
loans could be negotiated at rate OF inte-
rest not exceeding per cent. Should
authority be given in the arrangements
suggested. TO stipulate that the said stock
should be exempt from taxation. the in
ducements to investments therein would
create such competition as would be high
~ advantageous TO the Treasury. Justice
and honesty require that these debts should
be promptly paid, or arranged to the salts
faction of the parties interested, and anv
provision which the Legislature NAV deem
proper on the subject, will meet the cordi-
al appreciation of the Executive.
The establishment of the sinking fund,
by the appreciation of State stocks, and
the consequent increase of confidence i'm
the ability of the State TO meet her engage
ments; with replacement by new issue
of the old and defaced relief notes, has had
the salutary effect of enabling the Treasu-
ry department with slight expense in the
exchange or transmission of means, to
meet the payment of interest on the public
debt IN par money, as also to pay other
creditors of the State in good funds. The

Balance,

The above balance has been DESTROYED
or has failed to reach the Treasury during
the year. These notes, the redemption of
which being amply secured. and afording
safe and convenient local currency, have
the confidence and the favor of the clti-
zens. Ii is therefore recommended that
authority be given 10 proper officers, to
keep them in good condition, by a new
issue, in lieu of such as may become mu-
tilated and delaced.
In addition to the suggestions made to
the last Legislature on the subject of the
monied affairs of the State, it is deemed
proper to call your attention to the fact,
that portion of the funded debt is over
due-a part bearing an interest of six per
cent.-and a part falling due the year
1850, as follows:
The amount of five per cent.
funded debt overdue, ex-
capt bank charter loans, is 1854 $40 10
