Presidential Veto.

President Buchanan has vetoed the bill
donating public lands to the several States
and Territories to provide colleges for the
benefit of agriculture and the mechanic
arts. lie shows in his message that the
appropriations would amount to seven and
half million Of dollars. The result would
be, that upwards of six millions of acres
would be thrown into the market, aud land
spectators would, after all, he, the parties
mostly benefited. His objections are bas-
ed on the ground that the appropriation is
both ineXpedient and unconstitutional
The bill. lie says, has been passed at time
when sufficient revenue can with difficulty
be raised to sustain the expenses of the
Government. Should the bill become law.
the President says the Government would
be deprived of all income from the sale OF
ltuds, which for the next fiscal year is es-
tinlatGd ut FIVE millions. On the constitu-
tional question, lc advances the following
sound and substantial Calhoun State Rights
doctrine, 1t is refreshing to read such an
emanation from the head of the Federal
Government - CaroiipiuM.
But does Congress possess the power,,,n-
der the Constitution, to make donation of
public lands to the different Stats of the
Union to provide colleges for the purpose
of educating their own people?
l presume the general proposition is un.
deniublc that Congress does not possess the
power to appropriate money in the treasu.
ry raised by taxes on the people of the Uni
ted States for the purpose OF educating tho
people of the respective States. 1t willuut
be pretended thut any such power is to be
found among the specific powers granted
to Congress, nor that it "is necessary and
proper for carrying into execution" any one
OF thes@powOrs Should Congress exer-
else such power this would be to break
down the barriers which have been SO care
fully constructed in the Constitution to Sc
paTHte Federal from State authority We
should then not only '*lay and collect tax
cs, duties, imposts and excises" for Fedcr-
al purposes, but for every State purpose
which. Congress might doom expedient or
useful. This would be an actual consoli.
.dation Of tho Federal and State Govern
nIcnts, so far as the great taxing and mon
CIV power is concerned, and constitute sort
OF partnership between the two in the Trea.
sary of tho Uoited States equally ruinous to
both.

Mountain.


Hr. Ettttor; Some time ago it was rencr-
ally announced that ON the Goth day Of Feb,
1859, there would bc Pic Mic ON Six-Mile
mountain, lying east of Pickens c.. H., and
about three miles from Twelve Mile river.-
rs the time approached great anticipations
ofelevatel pleasure were cntertained-plca
urcs mountain high with plenty to eat Le-
meath the broad canopy of our Father. 1t
WAS expected that many communities would
bc there represented, even from your fair
village, from sunny Bower, MoorulIendum
and from mcaities away down in Anderson
district. TWAS set ON this day, because the
leaves of tho trees have all fallen so that
thereaFc fewer distractions to the fine sconery
around; but perhaps any time in March would
do as well, as the embryo foliage of the com.
ing summer would not yet disturb the view.
But observation-disclosures antirjpatmnswere

doubts tile day before, when clouds henvy
an gloomy clouds fllel all the doors above
and iaring thunder, just before sunset with

dercd and ruined, and did not stop raining

How grand thy destiny appears.

While at his feet his lovely bride,

And Kenesaw his double head

While near him, DER its pcbbly bed,
Rolls Chattahoochee's azure sheen,
Upon thy soil hath Nature raised
Her monumental granite rock,

For calmly wrapped in cloudy gray,
Defying Time or from its birth,

In academic shades embowered,

Whose minds were trained within her doors
From oglethOrpe's time honored halls

Inc Yankee at Sebasfopol.
SEBAsTopoL, Dec l3, 1S58.-As many
reports have been circulated relative to the
American enterprise of clearing the harbor
of Scbastopol, the most of them being in
correct, beg TO state the facts relative to
the position OF the Marine Exploring Com
pany, their sncccss and prospects.
entorod into contract with the Imnc-
rial Russian government in October, 1856,
to clear the harbor of Scbastopol from the
! ships, steamers, and vessels that were sunk
during the late war, and was to receive as
compensation, one-half the property rccov-
cred. On my return to the United States,
a company was formed in Pennsylvania to
carry out the enterprise, under the title of
the Marine Exploring Company, duly char
tered by the Legislature. Powerful ma
chinery was constructed and men employ
cd, who embarked from the United States
under my direction, and arrived here in
June, 1857 ltrcqured much time to con
struct powerful caissons to assist in lifting
the sunken ships Our machinery was not
completed until June, 1858. On the Sd
OF June the first vessel was raised to the
sufmce OF the water--thc sclfooner-of- war
Smeai, of sixteen guns. Since that time
have raised the steamer Turk, war steam
or Groznoi, iron steamer Danube, Is guns;
brig Hncas, yacht Parisenne and cutter
Strella. These vessels in excellent condi-
ton, and comparatively sound. The Tcrc-
do has only penetrated the upper works of
the vessels, leaving the main hull quite
sound and in good condition. The engines
OF the steamers are in nearly as good con
ditiOn as Though TIE vessels hod been ON
the surface of the water / sold the steam
er Turk to the Imperial Government for
10000 silver roubIes, and she will be run
ming again in the course of four months
The commission who examined the steam.
er reported that five per cent. of her value
would pay fhe cost OF putting hcr in per

going repairs at NcolaifF. l have also sold

they may deem cxpcdicnt.
The advocates ofthis bill attempt to sus-
tain their position upon the language of
the second clause of the third section of
the fourth article of the Constitution, which,
declares that Z" the Congress shall have
power 20 dispose of, and make all necdful
rules and regulations respecting the terri
tory or othcr property belonging to The
United States" They contend that. by
this clause, Congress possesses the power
to fair Interpretation of the words "dsa
pose OF" i'll make this gift of public lands
to the States for purposes of education.
1t would require clear and strong evil
dcncc to induce the belief that the trainers
OF the Constitution, after having limited
the powers of Congress to certain, precise
aud specific objects, intended, by employ
ing the words dispose of" to give that
body unlimited power over the vast public
domain. 1t would be strange ariomaTy
Indeed, to have created two funds, the one
by taxation confined to the execution of
the enumerated pswers delegated to Con
Srcss, and the other from the public lands,
applicable to all subjects, foreign and do
mestic, which Congress might designate.
That this fund should be " disposed Of"
not to pay the debts of the United States,
nor to raise and support armies, nor to pro-
vide and maintain navy, nor to accom-
pllsh any one of the other great objects
enumerated in the Constitution but BE
diverted from them to pny the debts of the
State, to educate their people, and to carry
INTO effect any other measure of their do
mestic policy. This would be to confer
upon Congress vast and irresponsible au-
thority, utterly at war with the well known
jealousy of federal power which prevailed
at the formation of the Constitution. The
natural intendment would be that, as the
Constitution confined Congress to wcll,de-
ined specific powers, the funds placed at
their command, whether in land or money,
shoald be appropriated to the performance
OF the duties corresponding with these pow
crs. Hnot, government has been created
with all its other powers carefully limited,
but without any limitation in request tu
the public lands
But ! cannot so read the words dis
pose OF" as to make them embrace the
idea OF giving away" Phe true mean
ing OF the words is always To be ascertaincd
by the subject to which they arc applied
and the known general intent of the law
giver. Congress is a trustee under the
Constitution for the people of the United
States to dispose Of" their public lands,
and think may venture to assert with
confidence, that no case can be found in
which trustee in the position of Congress
has been authorized to " dispose of by
ITS owner, where it has ever been held that
these words authorize such trustee to give
away the fund entrusted to his care.
