American people, restraining the enormous ana
and now omnionusly large importatlonS OF
foreign products and merchandise, securing the
country against the exhausting drain OF the
precious metals. gold and silver, to pay for
nro,lucts manufactured abroad, which We should
and could make cheaper at home-Such a
system is a better regulation of the currency,
and n more certain remedy for financial distress
and commercial evils, than all the banks of
this and other States that are now, or may be
established by legislative enactment. These
principles require no elaboration. Their truth
is generally admitted. Their application to
particular cases presents question OF more
difficult determination. Determinations may
be odious, but in view of the action OF the
Legislature, on the subject of the incorporation
of new banks, they become important and
necessary. On this discharge of my official
duties in the premises, may err in judgment
but will shrink from no responsibility.
Having on the day of my induction into
Office declared that Il would not refuse to
sanction the incorporation of new banks, when
indispensably necessary, and clearly demanded
by the actual business wants and interests of
the community in which thay may be located
the question now presents itself, is the bank
proposed to be established by this bill necessary
and clearly demanded by the actuul business
wants and interests of that community In
determining this question, the locality itself,
its existing banking facilities, its proximity to
other banks and to the great marts of trade,
the means of communication, the amount
value and character of its trade and business
and other attendant circumstances should be
considered From careful examination of all
these and with proper reference to private and
public interests, cannot discover the necessity
that requires, or the wants of interests of the
community that clearly demand the creation of
this bank
Feelings of regard for those who desire the
passage of this bill would prompt its approval
Considerations of public interest, and the stern
demands of official duty require me to Withhold
my signature. JAMES Pollock.

PARDoSs,-The Secretary of the Common
wealth announces that Governor Pollock has
adopted certain rules in relation to the app-
cations for pardon, to protect him from impo-
stion. Satisfactory evidence will be required
that at least five days previous notice of in
tended applications for pardon was given to
the District Attorney of the city or country in
which the conviction took place, and that at
least ten days previous notice of th4 same was
given in newspaper published where the
conviction took place. These seem like very
proper rules.

BOUNTY LAND WARRANTs.-We understand
that the Commissioner of Pensions will not be
prepared to issue land warrants under the new
law for at least three months to come. The
plates are yet to be engraved the blank war
rants printed, the clercical force increased and
other necessary preparations to be made. The
first warrant under the act giving land to those
who served in the Mexican war, passed Sept
%, 1850, was not issued until January II, ,
1851, more than three months after the law
was passed. We presume it will take at least
as long to get the new warrants ready This
will give applicants ample time to prepare
their papers, so that no delay will occur when
each case is presented. The Commissioner
had issued his instructions, showing how appli-
cations shall be made for bounty land under
the late act and who are entitled The in
structions say that where the service has been
rendered by substitute, he is the person en-
titled to the bounty. A widow, or if no
widow, minor child or minor children may
claim the benefit of the act Persons within
the age of twenty one years, on the Sd of
March, 1855, are deemed minors

THE WHEAT CRoP-The Ohio Cutivator
publishes letters from various counties in Ohio
embracing the principal lwheat-growing sections,
and the letters all concur in saying that the
breadth of ground covered with wheat is from
one-third to one-fourth less than an average
This is accounted for by the fact that the long
drough of last summer and fall prevented the
plOughing of sod lands and fall sowing was
therefore confined to stubble and corn lands.
Resort will be had, as far as possible, to the
sowing of spring wheat but as the growing
of that variety of wheat has not been COM
mon in Ohio, seed is scarce There is said to
be in Illinois at least twenty per cent more
acres in wheat at the present time than in any
previous year. The winter has been exceed
ingly favorable.

SCHOOL FOR IDIoTIC AND FEEBLE-MINDED
CHIIDREN-We have received the second
annual report of the Pennsylvania Training
School for Idiotic and Predetermined Children,
which is situated near Germantown. The in
stitution is in its infancy, and has no permanent
establishment as yet, but hope is expressed
that the Legislature and the efforts of the
benevolent may enable the society to purchase
ground and erect building where their opera
tions may be more Systematically and properly
conducted The institution received sixteen
more pupils during the year, and discharged
five. The number remaining in the institution
is twenty The expenses were $5,78S. The
Principal gives gratifying account of the
operations. He says =
1t should be remembered by those visiting
the school, that we have not only mental, but
physical imbecility and infrmity to contend
against. | am aware that it must require in
parents a good degree of confidence in our
ability to meet the infantile wants of such
extremely feeble organizations yet we are
glad to find that there are some who have the
them to our care, believing that more can be
done for their advancement and improvement,
while under the guidance of some person who
has made this subject his special study, than
all that has or will be done, while under their
own Immediate roof. | never
yet, during my whole intercourse with these
unfortunates, found one too low for improve
ment-and have often seen cases that might
have been materially improved had they been
brought to us i'll season-whie the distress of
parents who have held their children back on
account of their tender age, has also called
forth our deepest sympathy. The age at
which children should be admitted can hardly
be too early indeed we would be glad to see
half-ascore or more of infants in our nursery,
while none should be admitted after twelve or
fourteen years of age
