PASSAGE OF THE COMMON School BILL
We learn from the Nashville Wing, of the
LIST, that the amendments Of the House 10
the bill to establish System of Common
Schools (that body having reconsidered the
vote rejecting said bill, and amended it 30 as
to tax privi!cges) was concurred in, and
the bill is now a law"
The Wing says the bill, as it passed, taxes
poll 90 cents, and property q cents on the
elOO; and apprcpriates one quarter Of the
tax on merchants and privileges-making m
aggregate of about $l25,OOO to Sl35,0Oo,
which, with the present school fund of
100000, will be the annual school fund
hereafter. There is reason for congratula.

BREApsTUFrs.-The Mark Lane Express
of London ascribes the fall in price of bread
stuffs in England 70 tho complete cessation
of the re.export demand there, and to the
fact that countries which were until lately
drawing supplies from England, are now Of
fering their recent purchases for re-sale.-
This, however, is not likely to be Of long
duration. Home consumption cannot abate'
as there are no cheap substitutes. Potatoes
and oatmeal arc quite as dear relatively as
flour and Indian corn is scarce. Prices will
remain weak for a few wceks-so long rs it
will require to consume what the milers
and bakers bought early in January. The
shipments from France to England have been
confined to American -four and Odessa wheat,
as French products are prohibited to be ex.
ported.

New YORK PoLrTics.-The Albany cor
respondent of the New York Express, (whig)
says:
New York Politics are in the oldest fix
here, we ever had. "1hc Hards" friends of
the Administration on the colOrcd principle
sav, and do, all sorts of bitter things against
Pierce and his Cabinet. "Sotts," enemies of
the Administration on the colorcd principle,
are its only friends in fact.
The Silver Grey Wings are dragged along
ut the heels of the Woolly Whgs who ab.
solutey roll over them. New York is be-
coming thoroughly abolition in both parties.
The Hards not only cannot, but do not care
much about making any sort Of fight in the
Nebraska campaign. They only want to use
up Piece and Marcy, and they have done it
fully.
While "Niggcrisn" is to cover continent
in Nebraska, abolitionsm here, is making
desperate fight to keep eight or ter slaves
from ever working on Mount Vernon, if it
should be purchased by the United States.
Dickinson, the great Weed leader, thinks
more of Mount Vernon and one negro there,
than of all Nebraska, Kansas, Cherokee,
"Muscogee," ""Chahta" and 'Chahahkce,' the
three New Indian Territories, with slavery,
which Senator Bob Johnson is for incorpo.

HIt is understood that Prince Napol

millions worth of forest land, confiscated by
Louis Napoleon from Leopold's Queen who
was daughter of Louis Philippe, will be
restored 10 him on condition of his frank
ARD unhesitating adhesion to England and
France in the impending war. This accounts
for the extreme affability with which the en-
voy was receivd, which was far more cordial
than any mere political proprety required.

"fIE HAS NOT AN ENEMY IN THE WORLD"
Hasn't We'll, we are sorry for him For he
has mighty little character who hasn enemies.
lie is nobody who has not got pluck enough
to get an enemy. Give us, rather, as Ou'
ideal o: virtue and manlincss, one who has
many enemies-one who has made them by
his manhood and downright sincerity, candol
and fearless love Of the things he sees to be
right. The man Of earnest purposes, strong
will, and love of principle, for its own sake
must have enemies. But this, SO far from
being i'll, is o him good. The strong tree
is more deeply rooted and fastened in the
soil by the blast than the summer breeze. A
man never knows how much there is of him
until he has confronted and braved bitter op
position.
