MIR. BroGden made some remarks on the resolution
Mr.. Sharpe moved to strike out the one-thirteenth
part of the same, which amendment was lost.
Mr. Johnston said, that he would cordially support
the resolution requiring the Treasurer to refund TO
Captain Upton the amount he expended, Ill con-
strucng suitable grave yard Saltillio, Mexico,
for his deceased Soldiers as he knew that the work
done forth, and he considered it laudable
and Heritorous And for the Information of the
House, he would say that Captain Upton collected
together Sattiiio, Mexico, all of his dead men,
surrounded them with neat rock wall, and erected
over them a suitable Monument, upon which were in
scrbed the of the men. The work was al
tended with good deal of trouble and eXpenS and
he fell confident that the set forth in the
olufion was reasonable enough. For fear that some
might think that Captain Upton more careful
with his deceased Soldiers than the other Officers OF
the North Caron Volunteers, he would further state
that all of Captain Tiptons men who died in Mexi-
co, were buried in and near SalIillo, Mexico. and
thereby he enabled collect them together and
erect suitable Monument over them, while the re-
mains of the deceased Soldiers OF the other Gonna

The bill to provide for the distribution of the School
fund according to white population was taken up and
read second time.
Mr. Erwin said that the present basis of dstribu-
ton was rank and infamous outrage on the rights
of the West. He intended test the matter, and to
know who in the Legislature were for, and who
against them.
Mr. Gordon advocated the distribution according to
white basis He asked if it was justice that 900
children in Craven should receive as much money as
5000 in Wilkes. The original school fund was dis

Mr.. Erwin expressed surprise that any gentleman
on the Democratic side of the House should stand
up for the West. They had, this day, given fatal
stab the interests OF that section they had refused
to aid in giving power to the great Wing West. He
read from the Standard Of to-day, and endeavored
