Important Decision.
DIES MONIES. Dec. 8

DEs MONIES, Dec. 9, 1853.
The Supreme Court this morning
rendered an important decision in re-
gard to the School Law enacted by the
late Legislature. The whole action of
the Legislature is declared unconstitu-
tional. 1t is claimed that under the
Constitution, the Legislative power, in
regard to educational matters belongs
solely to the Board of Education; and
that the power of the Legislature is
merely supervisory over the action of
the Board. The decision devolves up
the hoard the adoption Of an Educa-
tional System; and throws out of Office
all the officers elected under the law of
the late session. We are of the opin-
ion however, that the leading features
OF the system will be re-enacted by the
Board Of Education.-Ioaco Citizen.

We are indebted to Gen. Bridge
man for the following extract of let
ter from John w. Ross, dated at Coun-
Gil Bluffs, December 18th:
81 have information by persons just
arrived from Cherry Greek, whom
know well and who are not only relia-
BILE men, but competent judges in re-
gard to gold, which satisfies me that
the whole country from the mouth of
Cherry Creek to the mountains is full
OF gold. These persons say that mi
ners are making from five to twenty
dollars Il day.
"The sample l send you is not a
fair one, as the larger pieces have been
taken out, but anyone acquainted with
gold, will tell you it is very fine.
ThisNill be a great point for. outfit
ting, being the most convenient one
for the departure of gold seekers from
all the Northern States.''- CITY.

Mas STowE's New SERIAL. The reading
public will be glad to learn that the story, e..
titled ''The Minister'S Wooihg," commenced
in the Atlantic Monthly for December, is the
beginning of a serial novel from the pen of
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe; and that portions
OF it will appear from month to month until it
is completed. Tae story is marked BY all the
characteristics Of style and spirit which have
made the authors former works So famous
The scene is laid in New England Immediately
after the Revolution,-the period when all tina,
was most simple, quaint, and peculiar in char
scter and manner, was in full force II was
the era before railroads, steamships, lightning
presses, fashionable churches, aud fashionable
clergymen,-in short the good old times of
which the present generation have so often
heard. We look forward to see mastery
portrait OF Puritan life sketched in this roman
ce. However, it is not necessary to do more
than to announce tie fact; an author whose
name and works are known in more than thirty
languages, and whose two novels have reached
a sale OF more than eight hundred thousand
volumes in this country alone, will not surely
want Tor readers. We shall look for the CON-
ing numbers Of "rne Minister'S Wooingo
with great interest.

The cars on TIE B. &. M. r. Road will run
to Batavia on or near the line Of Jefferson and
Wapello Counties. 10 miles west of Fairfield
and IA east of Ottumwa, in a few days, Oh
Monday it is generally understood. The gra-

is being prosecuted this winter between Agen-
cy and this city. Hurra for the Burlington

ed to think that the remainder Of the bonds of
this County would be acceptable 10 them about
this time and we are of the opinion that it will

CABBAGEs AND DIsUNIoN.-We
have found new bond Of union for
our republic. The Atlanta Georgian
acknowledges the receipt of cabbages
from the New York market, which sell
readily at 400 per cent advance on cost,
and says the idea of a people who will
not raise their own cabbages being
bored to death by agitators about in
dependence, and urged to disunion, is
preposterous. If they will not raise cab
bages now they will not raise them then
and the South would have to import
them from a foreign country, with a
tariff of two or three cents per head
tackled on to help to defray the ex-
penses of the Government or for Incl.
dental protection to encourage the
home production! Dissolve the Union
and import cabbages-preposterous!-

HON. EDWARD EVERETT AND THE New
YORK LEDGER.-in our advertising coiuns
will be found the Prospectus OF the New York
Ledger, which contains all the particulars rel
alive to Mr.. EvERErT's engagement to write
for tina: paper. The ". Y. tribune, speaking
of this engagement says:
The country journals are still engaged in dis
cusslng the recent eng agem.nt of Mr.. Ever
EFT to write for The New York Ledger, aud very
naturally, some take one view and some aaoth.
or, though the great majority incline to the
opinion that the arrangement is good thing
for all parties. In this, We dare say, they are
right.

Everett. No other act Of his life has been cal.
culated 10 add so much to hi, popularity
Widely as he is know :, il will make his name

Ii is certainly good thing for Mr.. Bonner
also. In the first place, it will add largely to
his already immense number Of readers. But
this is not the only advantage, nor the principal
one, which he will derive from it. II has served
to direct the public mind 10 iurre thor
otgh and full examination OF the geaarat caar-
acter and conteots OF his Journal AMI t, the
formation OF more favorable judgment there
on, in many quarters, than was previously eG-
tertained. The result OF such an examination
has been TO change, considerably, our own es-
tiDation OF The Ledger. We knew that its
proprietor was a man VI great enterprise and
superior business talents, deeply skilled in the
mastery art Of advertising; but we were nj,
aware, until our attention was more especially
called to the subject, Of the labor and care be.
slowed upon the different departments Of his
journal, and the varied interest which his nu-
msrous writers impa, ted to his columns. Nor
We're we aware of what is much more ilnpor-
tint, the pure moral tone, and scrupulous re-.
CARL to the nices: sense of propriety, with
which it is conducted. In this respect espe.
cia!ly, it is worthy of commentator.
We presume, from the course Of Mr. Bonner
hitherto, that he will not rest with the engage
ment of Mr.. Everett, bat that other names, of
similar eninence in liter turs, will, in due time,
be added to the list Of his contributors.
