Stnte House Affairs.

The State House Commissioners have
just made Out a report Of their affairs, from
which we make shorl abstract.
The entire amount Of appropriations made
by the Legislature, upto this time, is $406,.
575. In 1849, it was $4,000; in 1850
10000; in 1851, $4,000, and in 1859 r25,
600. The appropriation Of last year has
been entirely expended. Some 10000
has been paid for marble for columns in ,ht
Halls Of the Senate and the House of Repre-
sentalves. These are beautiful ornaments
and deliberately wrought. The sale of re
fuse stone and lime has amounted to some
$1,000. The Commissioners have beer
paid as follows: Adams, former Commiss
ioner, $240,85; Smith, $237,09; Webb
$34l 09; S.ickney, $lO1 40; Wesl, Archi
tcci, $500; Linnel, Clerk, 5000.
About 5000 perches of large rough stone
unfit for use, has accumulated in The STATE
House yard, and convicls are now employed
breaking it up for building stone.
It's proposed 10 have the south wing
ready for The roof by the first of June; and !
is thought that the whole building can te en-
closed by October next.
The Commissioners ask that al leas
100000 be appropriated for the next year
The copper, marble for floors, Iron, glass
&C., necessary 10 finish, will cos, abou
Sl30,000. An expectation is expressed lha
TWO rooms for The use of The next Genera
Assembly, will be ready by next winter
We do not regard this as possible. W.
hope the appropriation will be made.-O

We are happy TO learn that a large ma
joriiy of the farmers along the line Of this
road. from Sinking Springs TO Jackson, have
freely given the right Of way. There are a
few however, who appear blind 10 their own
interest, and obstinaIely refuse grants upon
any condition. Many farmers seem in.

"capiial Invention" 10 concentrate wealth
upon towns and cities, and build them up al
