States TO lands selected under the act Of 4th
September, 1S41, for schools and other SIM
liar purposes. The policy ofgronting lands
for these purposes is enforced; and the
claims Of the District of Columbia TO assis-
lance of this character are incidentally pre-
scented.
A necessity exists for regulating by act
of Congress the survey of the California
lands. There and in Oregon land offices
should be established. The propriety Of
extendingthe United States land system into
Nebraska, Utah, and New Mexico is sub
mitted for consideration. The loss 10 the
Government by the leasing system on the
Upper Mississippi, is adverted TO as a rea-
son for avoiding the system on the Pacific.
The subject of land grants to aid in the
construction Of railways is discussed by the
Commissioner, who urges the benefits that
will accrue from them both TO The particular
States and TO the General Government
iiC ShO"S lildL III llllliOlS luIluS WHICH lldu
remained unsold for many years have been
eagerly sought at the enhanced minimum
since the grant for the Mobile and Chicago
Railroad. He dwells especially on the ex-
pediency of making grants TO States west of
the Mississippi, to California, and to the ter
ritories of Utah and Oregon. He conceives
that if this policy be pursued with liberal
hand, "many now living will see the waters
of the Atlantic and Pacific brought within a
few days travel of each other"
Referring to Louisiana, the report states
that about 100000 acres--much Of
which is inferior-will remain to the United
States after deducing all the swamp and over
flowed lands granted to the State; and it is
recommended that this quantity be ceded 10
the State in aid of constructing levees and
drains.
The Commissioner concludes with re-
capitulation of the various duties now de-
volving upon the General Land Office, in
directly exhibiting the extraordinary growth
and expansion of our public land system, and
the arduous labors and responsibilities Of
those engaged in its direction.-[ Washing.

Cuba.

Cuban Annexation, Conquest or Pur.
chase, is just now prominently before the
public. 1t is not 10 be denied that those
who are in favor Of bringing the Island of
Cuba into our conlcderacy, are looking to
the new Administration for assistance, oi-
Their positively or negatively. Under the
present Administration, fillibustering has
no possible chance, either to take or buy,
and hence an early effort may be looked for
under the new. What course Mr.. Pierce
will,adopt, when he comes into power, is
not known, and his views on this subject
will be looked for with interest.
Asa part OF the history Of Cuban Annex
alton, we publish on the outside Of to-day's
paper, the proposition of President Polk,
for the purchase Of the Island, from the
Spanish Government, and the reply of the
Spanish Minister 10 the proposal. The
paper has but recently been made public,
and has been read by but few of the mass
es. We call attention 10 it, and trust its
length will deter none from perusing it,
The subject is bound 10 occupy large por-
tion Of public attention, and the intelligent
reader will find this publication of impor-
lance.

An IMPORTANT DiscovERy.-A scientif-
ic correspondent of the New York Courier
has made an important discovery in voltaic
electricity, which may be practically ap-
piled to the cure of weak nerves. It is
this:
If a cylindrical piece Of zinc is placed
near the top of broom handle. and another
about fifteen inches below, connection being
made between the two by means of wire,
person taking hold of the top piece with
the right hand while the left is placed on
the copper or lower piece, forms voltsio
circle, which becomes powerful the more
the broom is used. The hands must be
without gloves, so that the metals are in
contact, and the windows of the room should
be open when the broom is used, so as to
admit the air freely. The discovery is in
valuable to females in a weak state, for
want of active life, and for males it can DO
applied to ak handles.

Tobacco.

The impression still prevails that the To-
bacco season will open late. Buyers are
holding up for growers TO come down, and
growers are holding on for buyers to come
up. There will doubtless be good deal of
'parring before the trade fairly opens
Steamers stand on very low figures, while
manufacturers are offering good prices for
first rate crops.
We have Thirteen establishments-Man-
ufactSries and Stelnmeries-ia this place
and immediate vicinity, all prepared for bu-
siness, as soon as the season opeas. As
yet we have heard Of no sales, but offers
have been made for some crops, for Manu-
fucturing purposes; the highest offer we
have heard is So per hundred. The mon
ey and men are here, the Tobacco in the
barns-and as soon as the buyers or grow
ers get tired OF holding on, an active bust
ness will be driven until the crop is sold

alton and wisdom. "Tis not for mortals to
command success; let US determine to de-
serve it,"
