It's Primary School Fund is already large and

ten, the constitutional provisions Of the State
ample, SO that the Common School shall very soon
De much elevated in character and entirely FREQ OF

its benefits.
Its setnM wealth has very largely increased in

doubled within the last eight years, are moral, IN
telligent and industrious, and inspired with spirit
OF enterprise, being encouraged with tho assurance
that their own tavorite State is destined soon 10
rank high among her sister States in wealth and
position.
When but part payment for these lands IL made
down for settlement assignable certificates Of sale
are given 10 purchasers. But whenever full pay
ment is made, either at the time of purchase or
subse quenuy, and officially endorsed upon the
eertit cate 10y the State Treasurer patents deeds
from the State are issued 10 the proper holders Of
all su ch certificates on their presentation ut the
Office Of the Secretary of State. The greatest care
should be taken by those who intend to purchase
certain lots Of land, that their descriptions
curately embrace just the lots they intend and
not others portions Of others, with their proper
sections, towns, ranges &c. Serious disappoint-
ments and injury occasionally occur to some by
their having enormously procured descriptions of
lots, with view to purchase, that they did zot
intend or desire to buy.

"The Richmond South has an interesting arti-
Gle referring to the rapid progress If Abotiouism
in the different nations of Europe. The editor
tees the late decree of the imbecie Emperor Of
Russia, to abolish scrfdom in his dominions. which
is now causing serious alarm, and leading 10 meas
ures Of protection among the more intelligent cas-
scs Of his subjects, against the ruinous consequence
o: such stop
Such is the language OF the Galveston
NewS, a paper seeming y devoted to sla-
very and the dissolution of the Union
1t is a remarkable feature in quite large
portion Of the Southern press, that it is
hostile t. the emancipation of either the
white or black races. 1t is often assumed
that "frec society is a failure" The
maintenance of caste is advocated as siren
uously as if Republicanism had never
been established in America. A little
time since one of the Louisiana Senators
in Congress cited the serftLom in England
to prove that slavery was a part OF the
English Common Law, and that the right
to property IN man was strengthened by
the fact that such dominion Of man over
man had existed in England 1t is a Gu
rious feature in the conduct Of alarmed
and guilty despotism, that it looks with
adherence upon all human effort TO dis
enthrall the oppressed.
1t is undoubtedly true that those "in-
toligcnt classes Of Russian subjects are
cadcayoring to prevent the eradication of
Scrfdom in Russia. 1t is even said they
threaten to dissolve the Empire, or to in
yolyo in it civil war before yielding to the
weakness OF the Emperor, or his Govern
mcnt in the accomplishment of scheme
SO rcpugnant to the lust Of power Of
course the s'avoocrats Of Russia find the
same coGent reasons for the continuance
of oppression that slavery always finds
The pro-slaycry spirit is the spirit of ruff
fanism everywhere. 1t is not very par
ticular as to color where its power can be
maintained. 1t knows no Justice, nor ac-
knowledgcs any right until alarmed into
dcccncy by fear of consequences, or bro't
into subordination by the mightier power
of freedom.
Could the founders Of Republica,lism
in America have forcscen the repugnance
manifested by the Southern press toward
the elevation of Russian scrfdom to the
dignity of manhood, what opinion would
they have had of their ?ostority? The
efforts Of an absolute monarch to olsen
thralI his subjects, aud 20 free them of the
worst of all bondage, mans assumed right
Of property in man." is worthy Of the
age in which he lives. That a measure
which is calculated to associate the appro-
val y the civilized. should meet with IN
dignaut reprogch from those sho claim TO
be freemen in America, is indicative Of
the actual spirit of slavery in all parts Of
the globe. SorTnsrDE.

On the last day but one Of their oiiicisl
life, the Board Of 1854 allowed T.. Gould
SSl 81, and A. Gould 1866 - for pro-
fesficnal services. Who viii doubt that
this was all fraud
On the last tag of their official life they
allowed Sl,076 90 for fat cap paper
which it is well known the State never
had.

materials, fitting up Capital, &C. $3.50 90

The principal amount in this small
item was for curtains for u windows

as the last chance, for men to exchange
all their bad money for good
During the last mouth they allowed ac-
counts to the amount of SOS, lSl 55.
Over $40, 600 of this is known to have
been frauds of the most glaring descrip-
ton and not less than half of the re-
mainder is reasonably supposed to be -
Yet the very men, or some Of them, who
conniyed at, and shared in, these frauds,
have taken upon themselves the task Of
persuading the people that our present
State Officer are corrupt, and have vast
ed their money; and that they must rein
state the old dynasty which died drunk
with fraud, so that honesty May again
rule in the State affairs Are they not
pretty set Of witnesses? One Of the foul
est mouthed of them is himself an official
dcfaultcr; another was expelled from
Masonic Lodge for embezzeling its funds,
another was expelled from the Church Tor

ant in a suit for receiving pay from the
State twice on the same account.
Such, fellow citizens, is the standing of
tic three or four men with whom nearly
all the charges against the present State
Administration, have originated. The
editors throughout the State,
who have caught up their song, and play
ed it on their harp of thousand strings,
cared not, nor stopped to enquire, as to
the truth it was enough for them, in
their desperate condition, to find charges
no matter by whom, and
no matter how ungenerous and unjust
They publish the falsehoods, but when
they arc proved falsehoods, not a word of
correction or retractiOn is ever found in
their pages pages. They pat forth the
most palpable falsehoods, and de ny the
plsinest facts, without a blush, expecting
that large number of their readers will
read no other paper, and believe them.-
We have no fear Of the fnal verdict of an
intelligent people.-Lonsiny Republican.

addressed a letter to his wife informing
her that d" \ gentleman Of her acquaint-
ance---an old and true friend would dine
with her that day rs soon as she re-
ccivcd it, all hands went TO work to get
everything in order. Precisely at the
hour fixed she was prepared to receive her
guest, The house was as clean as a new
pin \ sumptuous dinner was on the
table, and she was arrayed in her best
attire. \ gentle knock was heard, and
she started with pa pitating heart to the
door She thought it must be an old
friend - perhaps brother - from the
place where they moved. She opened
the door, and saw her husband with n
smiling countenance. "Why ny DEAR"
said she in an anxious tone, "where is
the gentleman of whom you spoke in your
note % Why, replied her husband

it is frequently the case that success may
be owing more to deep and thorough
knowledge of the constitution Of the pa

tons As an Illustration of this, we will
relate an anecdote Ct one Of our old phys
icians, who, if finds physic will not cure,
tries other means as the case may require
DR.. D had long been the attend

her teens, and affected with certain disor-
ders, incident to want of occupation and
the care of family. She sends for tho
Doctor in season and out Of season, he
rushes out at two-forty pace, and finds
his patient physically perfectly well, but
sad and lonely, and of course, afflicted
with the blues All he can DO is to ad-
minister " tincture" with few drops o!
peppermint, and the patient il well FOR a
day.
On one occasional cold, blustrous night
the Doctor had just turned lii wrapping
himself snugly in his blanket, with the
hope Of quiet sleep, when loud rap
aroused him.
Who is sick p inquired the Doctor.
Miss Sally Strickland, sir; she is
