A Word TO the Wise.

Now that the people of ShePherdstown and
vicinity have a newspaper published in their
midst, they no doubt perceive its advantages as a
medium for advertising the public on all subjects
of general concern. Whilst we are far from as
serting that the old method Of advertising by
sticking a piece Of manuscript upon board or
post was entirely inefficient, yet We DO think
that now something very much better Is offered,
every citizen who confesses 10 q particle Ofpub-
lie spirit will not fail 10 make use OF 1t. We
shall be happy to place cOnsPicnously before the
eyes of some thousand or more readers, all noti-
ces of sales, business cards, and in fact every
thing in the shape Of advertisements, at reason
able charges.

The Secretaries RepOrtS.

THE REPORT OF TIE SECRETARY OF THE
TREASURY makes the total estimated deficits for
the years 1850 and 1851, at 6,375, PA 80, to be
met by loan, The public debt is stated at s64,-
704 693 II, redeemable at various periods up TO
1868. There have been located for patents on
military bounty land warrants 5,O25, 400 acres of
public lands, worth, at the price Of SIPS per
acre, the sum of S6,26I, $50 90. During the last
fiscal year, under the treaty with Mexico ST.
629, 100 have been paid. The Secretary shews
that but for the extraordinary expenditures &C
cruing from the Mexican War, balance of
Sl2 GOA ,638 g. would have been left in the Treas
ury on the lst Of July last.
In order to meet the above deficits, the Sec
rotary recommends an increase in the duties on
imports, and boldly advocates the protection of
our own manufactures. He discusses the whole
subject in an able and satisfactory manner.
He advocates return to specific duties as
simpler than the ad valorem, and more beneficial
to the home producer. The Warehousing sys-
tenn is shown to be very expensive and inefficient
TO the supposed objects ofits erection. Congress
is recommended to abolish the Sub Treasury, as
it operates insecurity and ineonvcnienty. After
reporting the proceedings of the Coast Survey,
the condition of the Lighthouse establishment,
and the Custom Houses, the Secretary winds up
by advising Congress TO establish Mint in Cal
ifornia, and to build other edifices necessary to
the safe navigation of its seas and waters.
THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY reports the
whereabouts of the public marine of the u S.
A Nautical Almanac Of American production is
under preparation by Lieutenant Davis and as
sistants. The mail steamers to carry the mail
between New York and Liverpool will be COM
pleted at various periods in 1850, the first, it is
supposed, about the first of March. But the

Mr.. Cobb and his Committees.

The Washington Republic loudly com
plains of the manner in which the Speaker
of the House of Representatives has con
structed the Committees. 1t charges him
with having played false to the letter and
import of his pledged word, that he would
" faithfully and impartiaHy" discharge
the duties of his office. Of the thirty
seven Committees, the Speaker has given
not less than Mirty-sir to his own party,
which is in a minority Of the whole House
by some eighteen or twenty votes ! The
only Committee that has Wing Char
nan, is that of Accounts Mr.. King OF
Mass. enjoying the singular honor.
And not only so, but Mr.. Cobb has con-
trived that on all the important Commit,
tees, his own friends shall have the second
man as well as the Chairman, thus pre-
Guiding any probable chance Of Wing
Chairman upon any Of them. Nearly all
the Committees, and quite all the impor,
tant ones, have Five Democrats to -Four
others, Wings and Free Sellers mixed
This, of course, in most cases, must give
preponderance to the Democratic portion
of Committee, quite irresistible.
Mr.. Cobb and his friends might imagine
that they have gained great point by this
course of conduct, but we rather opine tha
the common judgment of the people viii
approve of it as little, as Of any other ac
founded in gross parti0lity and injustice
We hear occasionally great blasts of blus.
ter and braggadocio about chivalry; i
might be very fine thing if we could ge
it genuine, but really such chevaliers as
Mr.. Cobb make a miserably poor show
for their Knighthood. For ourselves, we
prefer to continue among the rank and file
The narrowness and illiberality dis
played by Mr.. Cobb in this matter Of con
structing his Committees will become more
conspicuous by recollecting how it was he
was elected. He was elected, not by {
majority, but by plurality, and for tina
he is indebted to proposition from the
Wings, offered by them as the only means
to save the House from degenerating into
"a mere bear-garden. This act of self;
sacrifice on the part Of the Wings, Mr.
Cobb has rewarded in manner as little tc
his personal honor and reputation fol
patriotism as, in the long run, it will be
injurious to the Wing cause.

officers, is recommended. The number of ottl-
GERS in whose favor such measure would oPcr-
ate, does not now exceed twenty-five, and the
annual cost Of their support would be less than
fifteen thousand dollars. A provision is recon-
mended for retired soldiers, worn out in the SER
vice, which shall shield them from suffering and
destitution. The West Point academy is desery-
eddy euogzed. The circumstances of the late
commoton ongthe Indians remaining in Flor
ida are recounted and the policy Of removing
them all beyond the Mississippi enforced.
The Secretary notices the assistance rendered
by the army to the civil power in California and
New Mexico, and closes with an award of APP
probation of the manner in which the several
bureaux of the army have discharged their duty
to the public.

Ineligible they travel "by rail- and
the cars are carriages" To lengthen our
parenthesis, we may add, that the fashion
originally adopted in America OF separate
compartments in the cars, is universal in
England, and on the continent. 1t doubt
less suits better the English anti-gregari-
GUS habits, and falls in with their fashion
of different priced accommodations
There are first, second, and third-class
cars. The carriages of the frst-class are
more luxurious than most of ours, but none
OF them are half as agreeable, being so
much less airy and light, and so ill-htted,
in comparison for view OF the country
Being detained, as we were saying, at the
station for an hour, waiting for another
train, we had an opportunity OF noticing
the immense amount of travel on this, the
main road between Liverpool, Birmlng-
ham, and London; at least a dozen differ
ent trains, from both directions, came IN
within an hour, and this, as Bradshaw's
admirable guide taught us, was only fair
sample of every hour in the day and night
The punctuality, system, precision, eau
ton, and success with which the English
roads are managed, is truly Marvellous
But any one may see, who looks at the
intricate complication of roads in England,
that nothing but ehronometrical regulari-
ty could prevent the utmost confusion and
peril in the operation of the roads.

Mr.. Clay was present, and the dlstln-
Cuished statesman, with difficulty, made
his way though the crowded rooms, so
great was the desire of those present to
offer him their respects. The company
were enlivened from time to time with
admirable music from the Marine Band,

Home Department.

The report of Mr.. Ewing is of an eX-
tremely interesting character, and the
multifarious subjects that come under rev.
lew are discussed with equal candor and
force. They cannot all, of course, be
commented on in an article designed as a
mere general notice of the document itself;
although we would point to the branch
treating of the public lands, and especially
the mineral lands of California, and the
projected railway to the Pacific, as en-
bracing numerous considerations of inter
est and value. The passage in relation
to the establishment of an Agricultural
Bureau carries out the suggestion made IN
the Presidents Message, and is, indeed
one that must attract the favorable re-
gard of the country, it ought to slim
ulate responsive action in Congress.
Mr. Ewing speaks with warmth OF the
Patent Office, but does not so much eX-
patiate on the advantages this institution
secures to inventors and discoveries as on
the vast benefits which the country and
civilized world derive from the never
ending studies and labors of the ndeiatl-
gable class of citizens whose interests II
was intended to guard. He properly char
acterises them as benefactors to their coun'
try; and makes a very just, as well as
forcible suggestion, when he recommends
that the large surplus fund accumulated
from their contributions should be appro,
Driated by Congress, not "towards the
erection of wings to the Patent Othce
building" but to the nobler, wiser, snd
more equitable purpose of encouraging
the inventive arts and rewarding success,
full inventors. This is recommendation
which Congress ought to carry into effect
Nothing would seem more natural or more
advantageous than that the moneys col,
lected from ordinarily, not very well lined
purses of men of inventive talent, strug-
Cling to perfect devices and creations OF
art. from which the human family all
derive advantages, instead of being buried
in domes and pillars, which the republic
ought to rear from the common treasure,
