The ExAMINATIoN.-The examination
of our schools, last week, attracted qnite
a number of visitors, and rendered our
village unusually lively and gay.
The exercises. s.commenced in the male
department on Monday, and continued
until "Wednesday night, when they con-
cluded with an amusing comedy which
the students performed in fine style. The
examination throughout, was alike credit
ableto the instructors and the instructed
and afforded the patrons of the institution
satisfactory evidence that it was in charge
of teachers of ability and experience, and
that the students were well acquaint ed
with the different branchesthe had been
pursuing.
The examination of the Female De-
partment commenced on Thursday, and
was attended by large number OF vlsi-
tors, who express their entire satisfaction
with the progress and proficiency OF the
Young Ladies of that department. On
Friday evening, the Young Ladies OF the
Music department. gave concert TO
the largest audience we have ever wilt
messed Oh similar occasion. The whole
proceedings were highly entertaining
agreeable, and creditable to Teachers and
Pupils.
Both Academies were crowded during
the exercises so that many were unable
to gain admittance. Indeed, we already
begin to see the necessity for larger
buildings, and hope every effort will be
made to have them erected as speedily
as practicable. Our schools are rapidly
gaining popularity, and deservedly SO too'
for we 40 not hesitate to say that they
afford better facilities for the education
of the youth of our country, than any
other in the State, and are surpassed 10y
none in the South west. Our citizens
feel proud of the ability and success wilh
which they are conducted.
The ffth session of the Female del art
mont will commence on the third Monday
of September next, under the supervision
of the present able principal, aided by a
full corps of experienced and competent
assistants. The next session of the Male
department will commence at the same
time under the direction of the present
board of instructors. We invite the at
tention of parents and guardians to the
advertisement of Professor Slack in an
other column.

TREssPAssERs ON THE Public LANDS.
The immense value of the .imber taken
from the United States every year may
be Judged of by the fact, that the Dis
trict Attorney of Michigan recently re-
ported to the Solicitor of the Treasury.
that he had authorized the Marshal to
seize some twelve millions of feet of lum-
Der, sawed and in the log, lying at differ
ent saw mills ia the State, all taken by
tresspassers from Uncle Sans land.
A case has been decided in the United
States District Court of Alabama, where
Daniel Gore, of Tuscaloosa county, was
fined $500 and imprisonment for cutting
400 pine trees from the public lands
The following points were decided by
the Court:
/. That the cutting or removing from
tne public lands any timber of any des-
cription, is indictable and punishable by
fine and imprisonment.
2 That the entry of the lands by the
tresspasser, after the trespass, is no bar
to the indictment.
3. That the statute of Limitation does
not begin to run till five years after the
trespass.
The imprisonment in the above case
was. by the Judge, made merely nominal,
at the suggestion of the United States
District Attorney.
The judgment in the above case is
strengthened and confirmed by recent
decision of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, at Washington. on an appeal
from the United States Circuit Court of
the District of Michigan. The United
States Supreme Court in that decision
says:
1.-The cutting and using oak and hick-
ory trees is indictable; and so the cutting
and using any other description of timber
tree from the public lands would be
equally indictable; and being so, the pun
ishment by fine and Imprisonment must
follow in all cases.

AN INDIAN WAR BREWING ON OUR
FRoNTIER.-On the 18th ult., party OF
Cherokees and Creeks, numbering, 80
Warriors, armed and equipped for the oc-
casion, marched upon We ewoka, IN the
Seminole country, on the North Fork OF
the Canadian, with the view OF attack
ing a negro town where there were over
an hundred able bodied men, and taking
number of said negroes. alleged to be
slaves of certain Creeks and citizens OF
Arkansas
1t seems the party of Indians camped
some ten or twelve miles from the negro
town, intending to go the next night and
charge upon IT, The news of their arrl-
val reached the negroes and they armed
themselves and sent word Of defiance to
the Creeks, and the next day party OF
Seminoles, all stript and painted appeared
on the opposite bank Of the Creek who
sent banter for fight. Upon these
belligerent demonstrations, they concla-
ded to come to a parley.
When last heard from the head chiefs
of the Upper Towns. {Creeks) had re-
paired to the scene Of difficulty, and with
the chiefs of the Seminoles were waiting
for the arrival of COL Duval the Semini
ole Agent, to go into council.
This negro town is deH OF runaway
slaves where every negro who can make
his escape from Louisiana and Arkansas,
is hafbored 1t should be broken up by
the military; some day it will be the
cause of serious troubles between the
different tribes and the Seminoles, as
well as between the citizens OF Arkansas
and that tribe.
The troops at Fort Smith instead OF
being removed, ought to be increased.
