IMPORTANT TO LAsp-owHERs.-We call the attention
of the public the fact, that IN short tme the sales vi
delinquent lands will take place throughout the State The
law directs these sales in every five years,
and The present the year fsae Lists If delinquent

sale. Very frequently The Sheriff fails 10 call upon the
small lando living in part of the county
to collect the few due upon the little spot, which,
with constant labo scarcely yields support for himself and
family. The man is 50 occupied by the cares incident 10
his humble position, that the fact escapes him, and his
ignorance in this way. often endangers his rights. The
Sheriff returns the land delinquent, and the Auditor is
bound 10 send out, the proper time, for sae he land

tax The owner still remains in ignorance Of this lien

mans Of and worth $500has been sold for
dollars, and his title revocaby lost The which
thorises these sales is disgrace TO statue book.
Prior the day of sale, every delinquent has the prv

1t would be well for every landowner to inquire into the
condition of his property, and many instances he might

APPROPRIATIONS BY CoNGREss.-ln the course OF
some remarks in the House of Representatives, one
day last week, Mr.. BAyLy, Chairman of the Commit
Tee Of Ways and Means, stated that the approprla-
ton bills of the Session up to that time amounted in
round numbers to $43O00,000. The appropriations
for the Navy, reported by the Committee amount
ed to $9,427,000; for the Army, S7S96000, and
how much more had been, aud would be added, he
did not know He went on to show that the debt
of the United States was about $75000000, to which
was to be added the Sl0OO0,000, as indemnity to
Texas for tie REIMBURSEMENT of lands, making the
amount S95,000,000 This country, he said, must
make up its mind either to have the appropriations
reduced, or consent TO direct tax, or TO tax upon
tea and coffee, or to borrow money to keep the YES
sells of Government in operation Mr.. GREEN al
legged that the tax now collected TO support the Fed
eral Government amounted to more Than So per head
for every man, woman and child, black and white,
in the United States.
These facts are certainly startling, and call loudly
for reirenchment and reform. Congress has shown
some disposition to "begin at home," having adopt
ed provision in the general appropriation BILL abo-
shing constructive mileage. On the other hand, the
appropriation Of $4,000 TO deiray the expenses Of
the agent of the Turkish government in this coun-
try seems TO be rather an extravagan expenditure.
As, however, it is in accordance with the custom Of
other countries, and public benefit is expected to
result from IL we, for one are not disposed TO grum-

g9- The Southern Press, prefacing the proclama-
ton of Gov Towns, announces that the "desuny Of
the South is decided" and preends to look upon the
dissolution of the Union as certain. In view OF 'he
momentous crisis, which the Press thinks deter
mines the fate of the Union, the editors make most
earnest and af1ectionate appeal to the North, and
wind up with the following prayer "Nlay the grace,
the mercy, and the wisdom Of the Most High God
prevail in our councils"!
In whose councils If the Press means the coun-
ellis of the nation, the prayer is decidedly "behind
the times" IT, however, the councils OF the disu-
MON faction are referred to in the petition, we SIN
cerely hope it may be heard and answered Ger
ainly no set of men ever stood more in need ograce
and mercy for the msdeeds of the past, and wisdom
TO direct their future conduct, than those whose un-
firing efforts 10 sever The Union of the States Rave
been so sgnaly defeated. As offered by the editors
of the disunon organ, however, this prayer is either
destitute of sincerity or of sense. Is it not mockery
to invoke the blessing of the Most High God upon
the sacrligious effort to lear down the alresl temple
Of liberty ever reared under His gracious guidance
This is lis import, coming from the quarter it does,
or i, means nothing at all and in this view re-
gard i, as little short Of blasphsmy.

DIsuNIoN MovEMENTs.-ln pursuance of an act
Of the Georgia Legislature a! its last session, Gov.
Towns has issued his proclamation for the election
of delegates TO Convenion,to determine wha! course
should be pursued in consequence OF the admission
of California into the Uuion-lhe election to take
place on the 25lh of November. and the Convention
10 meet on the 10Th day Of December. Gov. OUR
MAN, Of Mississippi. also, ii is said, was in the act OF
writing proclamation to convene the Legislature of
his State, when he received despatch from the Mis-
sissppi delegation in Congress advising against the
particular measure. In addition, lorty-nine citizens
of Alabama have published a call on Gov. COLLIER
20 convene the Legislature of that State. All these
movements have reference to dissolution Of the u
Mon. They can have no other object. The act adj
hitting California-the grievance complained offs
passed. and canno, be repealed The case, therefore,
admits of no other remedy. But what remedy and
what grievance Suicide prescribed for monomania
From all the indications we have of public senll-
ment in The Southern States, it seems that the mass
