MORE TERRITORY The twenty ninth parallel
of latitude is named as the next Southern boundary
of the Union. General Gadsden is said to have
been negotiating with Sar Ia Anna for new cessiOn
of territory, including all north of that line, when
the progress of the revolution interrupted the pro-
ceedngs OF course no one knows how true this
il; but Gen. Tadsde'i has Uay Of writing home 10
his friends vague hints of important things going on
sckich set conjecture all dgog 10 ascertain the precise
trath The difficulty about the payment of the
three millions of the last indemnity, and the demand
for reparaton for Calahan's invasion and the burn
ing of Piedras Negras, all conspire to assist this
conclusion, and probably before Pr sident Pierce
goes out of Office he will communicate treaty with
a fresh demand on our surplus millions. The TWEEN.
ty ninth parallel would throw into the United States
two-thirds of the Mexican State of Sonora and two
flths of Chihuahua, with population enough to
form one OF our States In such case the new terS
ritory would have to 60 under political pupage as
a Territory, or else New Mexico would have to be
admitted as a State. rumor is ahoat in the news
papers to the effect that Gen. Gadsden has sent
word to Washington that it the balance OF the Mesa
indemnity be not paid to the present Government
of Mexico not another foot of territory will be ceded
to the United States. Meantime we have various
other projects for acquiring new colonies. Thus
the report is revived that Russia is willing to sell
her American possessions to Us for a consideration
in money-rather too Arctic matter for the folks
at Washington, as neither cotton, tobacco, hemp,
rice, nor sugar can be grown up there. Then there
is a report coming from Europe that Russia has
suggested to Denmark the propriety of settling the
difficulty between the latter and the United States
by selling to US the Danish West India Island of
ST Thomas, the price of which, five millions of dol
lars, may be taken also as our consideration for
freeing us of the Sound Dues. St Thomas is
small island 20 the windward of Porto Rico, with
population of seven thousand souls. Right near to
il is another small island called Santa Cruz also
owned by Denmark, with thirty two thousand in
habitants For five millions of dallars we ought to
get both of them But st Thomas is of much i'm
portance from its geographical position, which is
such as would render it a formidable position in
the hands OF a naval power. 1t has a fine harbor
and is always first sought by vessels in distress
coming from seward Were it in our possession
it would, in a great measure, nuify the purpose
for which the British hold the West Indies as a ma
power might from it command the whole eastern
front of the West Indies and the coast of the United
States.

mend him to the support of the Union-loving
democracy of Tennessee. By the countenance
and aid he has rendered to agitators North
and South, the country is precipitated upon
crisis equally alarming as that from which the
Compromise of 1851 rescued it. And can he
direct the storm his folly and imbecility has
created? Who believes IT'D This Administra-
ton can acquire character for mischief-ma-
king, but is incapable of achieving greatness
for itself by allaying strife, or renown for the
nation by high-toned and manly conduct OF
the government.

tennessee school for The Deaf nnd
Dumb.

This is one of the Benevolent Institutions Of
the State, in the success of which every citizen
should feel some degree of interest. We learn
hom the Glib Bivnnial Report of the Board of
Trustees, which we find lying upon our table,
that, during the past two years, the number of
Pupils who have been connected with and
participated in the benefits of the Institution.
has been increased from hirty-siz, the number
reported TO the last Legislature, to serenity.
This Is an indication of extended usefulness
that we are graiified to see. The amount of
money expended in support oF the Institution,
since the last report Of the Board, is 500, 70l 4G,
and balance Of g., 020 SO remains in the treas
ury. OF the money expended, 1927 6S were
on account of clothing for pupils not properly
Supplied by their parents, generally poor, end
living at distance from the school The gem
eral health Of the Institution, the Report SAYS,
has been very good, "though there has been
some sickness and two deaths among the
pupils" For the maintenance of the school
the ensuing two years, an appropriation of
$4,000 per annum is asked. This for the
current expenses: in addition $4,000 are
asked TO make the improvements mentioned
in the following extract: -
1t is also highly important that we should be en-
abed TO build one two houses for married teachers
whom il is very desirable 20 have contiguous 10 the
main building, and yet not inmates of H. IL has also
appeared to the Board a subject OF great impor-
lance TO have workshops for the male pupils. that
they may be made familiar with useful trades. so
that upon leaving the Institution they may be able
10 provide for their own wants and be no longer a
burden upon their friends or the State.
Appended to the Report are several Compo-
silions which are creditable TO the pupils with
whom they originated, and to the teachers who
instructed them.
The Board of Trustees think that "mnch of
the deep and lively interest that would Other
wise be felt ia the Institution confded TO their
trust is lost, from the fact that it is So little
known throughout the State" An Institution
of this character should not be little known. ("
its advantages are open 10 all the Deaf aud
Dumb children within the borders OF the State,
and efficient steps should be taken TO make IL
fully known in every nook sud corner of Ten
nessee. II ample provision has not already
been made by law 10 secure this result We
trust the present. Legislature will not fail 10
make it, OF the tNo hundred and my deaf
mutes in the State, reported by the Board OF
Trustees as proper subjects for instruction, 80,
one should be left TO grow up in ignorance.
Deprived OF two of the noblest gifts OF nature

rable-'l.ey should not be permitted 10 lose the
opportunities Tor al anelinraiiun Of their con-
dirion afforded hem by the generosity and pa.

Lieut.. J. ". naffitt.

Lieut. John n. Mafitt who has been go much at
that he can hardly claim any other locality as
bis home, b ut who also belongs more to this town
than to any other has been restored to his command
on the Coast Survey, and it is said in the most
complimentary manner of the Hon Secretary. Why
be removed is mystery, unless the suppo>f
ton that We have seen be true, that there was q
personal hostility in the Board to those officers,
such as Maury, Maliitt and others, who have dis
tinguished themselves in the collateral or scientific
duties OF Their profession The members of the
Board suspected of having envied the excellence
to which they could not attain. In Lieut. Maititr,
case, it is said that Maj Bache, the distinguished
officer, and head OF the Coast Survey, which has
given our country so much reputation all over the
the world, interposed most earnestly to have Lieut.
Mafttt restored, one whose services had not only
been ndvaluable heretofore, but indispensable
hereafter.
Among many other works prepared by Lieut.
Maifitt the Coast Survey service are his Surveys
and Charts of Beaufort II ,rbor, Cape Hatteras
Cape Fear Bar and River, Cape Lookout, Charles
ton Harbor Beaufort, 5. C., ard Savannah river
These are works of undoubted authority, and upon
those OF Cape Fear and Charleston are entirely
based the important works now going on for the
Improvement of the harbors Of Wilmington and
Charleston. His surveys OF Beaufort Harbor set
tied all doubts OF the great capacity and value o
that, as one Of the very best harbors n the South
| or in the county.
The condemnation of Lieut. Malfitt by tn Board
is understood TO have done him much service, in
asmuch as it has called forth testimony concla-ivey
showing that AS an officer and gentleman he has
no superior save 10 rank
II is probable that such outrages as the Board
committed in the cases OF Stewart, Maury, Mafiitt
Roando and Others, will induce the ensuing Con
gress thoroughly to review its action.
