LATER FROM MExIco-The proclamation
of Gov. Lane, of New Mexico, relative to the
boundary, and the reply of Gov. Trias, were
taken to the city of Mexico in eight and half
days by express. They had caused much ex-
element. Gov. Triass reply to Gov Lane
takes the ground that the northern boundary
of chihuahua had formerly been much father
north than at present; that the treaty of Guada-
lupe Hidalgo had removed it much father south;
that even if the territory claimed was disputed
territory, it had been always in peaceape poses
sion of Mexico; that the argument that the re.
spective Governments are not bound by the pro-
ceeding of the Boundary Commission is falla.
cious, and that besides having been for time
immemoral in possession of Mexico,it is now
inhabited by people who elnigrated there from
New Mexico because they wished to continue
Mexicans He SAYS further, that even if some
of the people did wish to change the sovereign
ty of the soil, they had no right to do it; and
that so far as protection from the Indians is
concerned, the Mexican Government has done al
least as much as the United States had done.
Gov. Trias concludes by asking Gov. Lane
if he has power to declare war.
Virginia Congressional Districts. The leg
islature of Virginia at its recent session, passed
a law dividing the State into thirteen districts,
for the election of members Of Congress. As
the Democrats were in the majority in both
houses of the Legislature, they took care that
the districts should be arranged for the benefit
of their party. They according gave the Wings
but one district, (the first, which includes the
counties on the Eastern Shore,) and that only
some 81 majority at the last Presidential cleo.

that the minimum organization of all compa.
mics be fixed as in the mounted riliemen, at 63
privates, aud that there be added to the pres.
ant military establishment one regiment of
dragons, and two regiments of ri!lcmen which
would give a minimum organization of l5,52S

the limit fixed by the law of June 7th, 1850,

increase Of from 10 900 to $4,000 men without

tary, also, that another company ofsappcrs and
miners be added to the engineer corps
With Il number of other recommendations
calculated to render the Army more efficient
and capable of enduring the hardships of ac-
tive service, the secretary proceeds to speak of
the necessity of encouraging regularity and
uniformity in the militia; and in connection
with this subject, he recommends providing
the militia with the proper books for tactical
instructions. The condition of the Military
Academy is favorahly spoken of, and the ac;-
demic term is, by the Board, recommended to
be increased to five years.

Correspondence of the Gha,lestn Mercury.

| NoLuMBiA, Dec., IL.
There were two quite spirited debates in the
House 10 day. First upon the appropriation
for the new State House; ard secondly on a
bill creating separate Appeal Court, compos.
ed of three Judges, both in Law and Equity.
On tine former, Mr. Wagner made sensible
and appropriate speech He pressed the de.
mand for sl.000,OO0, in order that The work
might proceed more rapidly. But it was ev-
dent that his proposition woul'i not 90 down
Mr. Winsmith opened the attack. followed
by Mr.. Owens, and the Debate was continued
by Mcssrs. Middleton, Perry, Sloan and others,
until after sundry amendments the House, at
last voed an appropriation of 250000, 10 be
raised by loan, the payment Of which posteri.
ty will doubtless have to look after. This is
the amount recommended in the Governors
Message, and is thought amply sufficient for
the work of the coming year.
The second discussion, as just stated was
upon the bill reported by the Joint Committee
of the House and Senate, to remodel the Judi
ciary.
Mr.. Campbell commenced the debate and
sketched out the line Of argument, which was
afterwards followed in support of the change.
That under the2 operation of the present s.
TEN the opinions and decisions of our Judiciary
had been undergoing steady depreciation. That
our reports under the old dAppeal Court ottlree
commanded the highest position, but that now
they are scarcely quoted, and to the eyes of
all were fast losing their character for legal
ability. He did not attribute this decadence
to the want of ability on the part Of the Judges
but to the working Of system which over
tasked them. He hoped that the friends of
the measure would speak in its virdicaiDn,
iuasmuch as the Chairman Of the Judiciary, to
whom it properly belonged, was unable from
indisposition to do so.
Mr.. MCGOWAN opposed the bill. He did not
believe that any change was needed, or that
the character Of our decisions was dcteriorat-
ing. He was opposed to blending law and
equity into one court
MIR. Thomson opposed The bill, stating that
the fault Of the officer was not caused by the
system. That an itiuerant judiciary was of
great service in collecting the changes of pub
lie opinion, and conforming their opinions to
the demands of society and progress
Mr.. Ihornwell opposed the bill. lie thought
that the objections to the present system or-
ginated more in tie chaerin of disappointed
solicitors than in any just defects in the pres.
ent system.
Mr. Mullins moved to amend, limiting the
jurisdiction Of The Court of Errors to coustitu.
tiona questions. Lost.
The debate was then adjourned to O'clock
this evening. On its opening Mr.. Hunt ad
dressed the House in support of the BILL and
thereupon sprung up a racy debate, in which
Messrs. Perry, Campbell, Owens and Thomson
took share. Finally, on motion of Mr. Boy.
kin, the whole subject was indefinitely post
poned. Yeas 10, nays 81

DEATH OF WV. ADGER, Esq.-It is our
melancholy duty this morning to announce
the death Of William Adger Esq, fourth son
ofJames Adger Esq, and one Of the most es-
teemcd merchants of this city, which occurred,
as the Telegraph informs Us, at New York yes.
terday.
Mr.. Adge- had left US some two or three
weeks since, on an excursion, partly for busi.
ness purposes and partly for recreation, in the
full enjoyment of health; and the intelligence
of his death, after a brief illness, has plunged
his family and friends into the deepest distress,
for which they have the heartfelt sympathies of
our whole community, in which the deceased
stood deservedly high. He was in the prime
of li!e-being in his thrty.sixth ycar-and
treadng in the footsteps of his venerable and
excellent father, now, although at very ad-
vanced age, holding the most prominent rank
among the active and energetic of our resi-
dent merchants, was identified with everything
connected with the business and prosperity of
our city
Quiet and unobtrusive in his department,
Mr.. Adger was ever most assiduously engaged
in the active duties of life. He was a mem.
ber Of the Presbyterian Church, of which he
was an elder at the time of his death, and as
President for many years Of the Eagle Fire
Company, rendered distinguished Services in
the Fire Department of our city-a department
to which we are all indebted for our safety and
security. He was also characterized for his
liberal and unostentatious charities, ard was
most emphatcally true friend to the descrv.
ing ; and although, naturally, this sad bercav
ment will more severely aflct the immediate
family circle, who best know how to appreci
ate the extent Of the calamity that has bcfal.
len them, yet there are many others who will
long remember his numerous acts of pure aud
disinterested friendship p.-CAos. Courier.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ISrE.
RIoR.--'rhe report Of Mr.. AlcClelland, Secre,a-
ry of the Department Of the Interior, is long
but interesting document. We have room,
however, tor only the following brief abstract
During the year the survey Of the public
lands has been steadily prosecuted, large bodies
of new lands brought into market, the wants OF
the emigrant fully met, and choice selections
offered to the hardy pioneer.
The Land System is nearly correct in prnci
pie. Its details need but little notification
During the year, 9Sl9,4ll acres have been
surveyed, 1865, ,s9l acres brought into mar.
kct, and ,0S3, ,495 acres sold The number OF
land warrants issued up to the 30th September
last was 2s7,O43, Of which there were then out
standing 66,047.
The entire area Of the public domain is es.
timatcd at 1884 ,09O,9O acres. Its purchase
was effected at the rate Of ii 4 per cent. per
acre, amounting to S67,999, 1000. Add the In
dan Preservation, valued ut 81 4,2509OG and ad
ding the cost Of selling lands sold previous to
June last, the entire cost, excluding surveying
amounts to Sss,994,0l5. The whole amount
accruns from sales up to June 80, 1858, was
4l,2s3,47s, being s53.29o.465 more than
the cost Of the whole. It's estimated that the
net amount which will have been realized fo
them, is the sum of 1881 ,lsl 1863.
The policy Of bringing the lands Into market
at the earliest possible day is urged. Early at
tenticn is called to the disposition of the mine
raj lands of California, the unsettled business
of the Pension office, and the frauds upon the
same. The clerical force Of the Bureau 0
Patents needs to be increased. The Indian:
have been unusually peaceful through the year

We regret to learn by the arrival at this
Port Yesterday of the French Barque Neustrie,
Capt Ramal, that on the 4th inst, just before
day light, between Cape Florida and Gun Key
she came in contact with the brig Palo Alto,
Capt Kay, of this port. The weather was so
thick at the time that the brig was not seen
until collision was inevitable. The Palo
Alto was cut down below the waters edge and
sunk few hours after being struck in lat. 26s
As and long. 79e so. Her Captain and crew
were taken on board the barlue, and brought
to this port She was from Matanzas bound
to Boston, with a cargo of Molasses. She was
the property of James Chapman, Esq, Of this
city, and was insured in the Charleston Insur-
ance and Trust Company for $4,000.
The barque Nucsrie sailed from Havana On
the 9th ult.. with sugar, and was bound to
Falmouth for orders. She was put into this
port in consequence Of being leaky and hav-
ing received some damage from the collision.
Soon after the accident she was spoken by the
brig Ceylon, Of Philadelphia, the Captain of
which vessel kindly offered assistance, but it
was fortunately not needed. -Chas. Courier.
