Chickasaw School Lands State Skmi
n art 500:UU0 Acres the Two per
cent Fund the Brandon Rail Road.
By the compact between the Unlte4 States
and thd Statu of Mississippi on the 'entrance of
the ljttef into tho Union, the loth section of
each township of land in the State was reserved
for school purposes. This right was sedulous
ly nihered to by both parties up to the period
ol'the Chickasaw Treaty. By that Treaty all
the lands claimed by the Chickasaw Tribe
were to he sold, nnd the net-proceeds paid over
to ihn Indians. The IGth sections like other
lands in the nation, were put up and sold for
the b: m f,t of the Indian, contrary to the com
pact and in di-rogation of the rights of the
Stntf. A controversy arose between the State
an I b rumal Government, which resulted in
tin? 17. S'.ati s uq;rei.in' to ffiy to Mississippi nn
erjuik'ftfciit for tho less of her 16th sections, in
other lands, to be located under the direction ol
the Secntary of the Treasury. Directions
were accordingly jjiven to the Registers on 1
lteceiveis in this State to make locations. So
little attention was paid to the interest of the
State, that afier about twenty thousand acres of
very inferior lands had been located, the work
was arrested by an earnest remonstrance on the
part of the State. Another controversy arose
which eventuated in thqUniled States agretinqf
to permit the lands to be located under the di
rection of the Governor cf the State, and in
quantities of not less than one quarter-section in
a body. The work wrnt forward immediate,
ly, mid has now been completed. The Chick
a.?av couri'.ii s have for school enrposes, 174,
500 aens of the very bist lands in the known
world. Selected ns it has been by experienced
woodsmen with great care and i:i small bodief,
all the refuse h:nls have been thrown out, and
the cream of the country so to speak have beij)
selected, thus giving to the Northnn counties
a most ir.unilice ut school fund, and t'rriino; to
their advantage what at fiist seemed to he a
cros disregard of their ri.rhta and int. r s?s.

Tilt. 500,000 ACRES OK LVXU.
The Federal Clevermnent, vajlgarly
termed Uncle Sain, in onerf ih-ise gener
ous and jolly mood into which it some
times fa 1 is, iu spite cf the ccld avarice of
the Yankees and the cormorant proaliu?
cf the ue stem peep'e, opened i:s heart
and pave to Mississ;; pi 51)0,000 acre cf
land, for works cf internal improvement.
This land may recorc (and e fear it
will) a fruitful aource of cor.ter.tion re
lwn ihe d .rcnt KCtions cf the State.
It has been ul loctd nd is rfprcsfti'rd J
as immt.M:ly va'utb'ehy the corn T.i-ion-crs
appointed to se!ect. Wc rc:a this d s-advunt?-
in rf.jkir.g the locttirs f rihis
crast. We were cc.rrp-!ed to take not
l?ra than 320 acrf in a Liy, wherrss the
to take ns little as 150 acres. There must
be proportionahly a larger amount of re
fuse lands in this grant, than in the Chick
asaw school lands. Here again, in the dis
position of this land, the south is ready to
display her eenerous disposition towards
'the north. Not only is south Misssissippi
ready, willing and even anxious to give
to the north her due proportion of the land,
but as we believe, to go lurther; to give
her as much as will sufliccto improve all
her fine navigable rivers, even though it
amount to two thirds or three-fourths.
The leveeing of the Mississippi is a work
often spoken favorably of, and we daresay
that Wilkinson, Pike, Copiah, Lawrence,
and other southern counties, will be found
as ready to embark in it, whenever Ipshall
bo fountl to, Uv pnujiicHLle, DesntOjTuni
ca,Pono!a and other counties influediate
ly interested in it. We feel a prymd exal
tation in being able to say, that so lar from
nursing any feeling of scclional jealousy,
the people of the south, r.s a people, spurn
the very idea, and are always ready to
show by their actions, that one part of our
glorious commonwealth, is as dear to
them as another.
Tllli TWO PER CENT FUND.
When Mississippi became a member of
the Federal Union, five per cent, of the
net proceeds of the sules of all the public
lands within her limits, was guaranteed to
her for works of improvement; three per
cent, of this money was to be expended
under the direction of the Legislature
within the State, and this look -the name
of "throe percent-fund." -The Legislature
divided it among Iho several counties in
equal portions, and'it has "gone glimmer
ing through the Him distance" to parts un
known. .The remaining two of the five
er cent, was to be expended under the
directioti cf Conrrrexs on works lead'mg
to ihe Stale. This took the name of the
two percent, fund. Congress did notex-wrcis-a
its riht to expend it. and the fund
to accumulate, until it reached the sum
of about 300,000 dollars. After repealed
memoiiahs on the part of the Legislature,
(all parties uniting,) Congress finally yield
ed to our earnest solicitations, and passed
Senator Walker's bill, relinquishing the
entire two percent, to tho rail road lead
ing from Brandon to the Alabama line.
Now, to our mind, this money no more
belonged to Mississippi before this relin
quishment, ih y'hr !,.-, ana
iov any other purpose than to build this
road, it no more belongs to the State now
than it did before t!ia relinquishment. It
is n trust conveyed to Mississippi for a spe
cified purpose, and ihe State has no more
right ti refuse lo cxtcute the trust, and
retain the money than has one man a right
lo get another's money under a promise lo
npply it in a particular way, and then re-
Itiiie to apply K, and use it lor nnoltier pur
pose. We speak with great confidence
when we assure our I'astcrn friends that
there cannot be the least doubt that tho
State will, in good faith, apply the money
to tlie road, that the great north is too no
ble and generous to withhold from the
1' in that wliich is her due; and that if ev
ery nt'iJT consideration failed (but with
the; North there can bo no such thing as
fail 1:1 doing right) her gratitude to the
List would prompt her to give her justice.
But we will not speculate on a subject so
improbable In it-self as that the north or
any other part of tlie State will interpose
la rob L'astern Mississippi of that which
the United States has given her with the
full consent of all tho States interested.
It i? hers by gift, nnd oilier parts of the
State cannot nnd will net insfc-t on taking
it from her. There would be more justico
in ma-king a son divide his patrimony with
his brothrrs and sisters, after they bad got
their full shares, than to compel Eastern
Mississippi lo divide this money. We al
ways hated family jars: lut we have al
ways hated worse to see a good naturcd
little boy imposed on by bis larger broth
ers. e hope there is n disposition any
where t ) impose on Ihe List. We can
almost say we know there is not; justice
is nil she wants; justice, we are certain she
will gel. Then let us say t-a Ihe Last, the
Gibraltar of Democracy, stand lo your an
cient battlements; stand lo your principles;
do your duty as you have always done;
demand your rights and they will not be
withheld.
Agriculture in the Xuth. Wc arc
greatly interested in th cause of Agricul
ture, and how very gratifying to see such
a spirit fr improvement manif sted, in
many cf our friends turning their atten
tion ta other proiiCli besides cct:on. Iu
the stead cf cotton ine, many changes
are recommended, such as the rearing of
Sheep, IIos d:t, I Ioncs, Mules, Corn,
.c., divcrsifymgtha labor bestowed on cot
Ion, iucittdin; Sdk. If we mistake not
thtf e maters have often been Ixfore our rca
dersar.dil appears that tiotbir.gbutstemnc
cesi.ty wi.l produce action. Sheep could
l-e ra:sed in many parts cf Mississippi and
AiaVans. no d?cU ti great pr?, and ihen
ra;e rrv'lr.s cf crt;cn. S 'k could be

and sre s?e th;i rr.ttter tri rrht
before ci:r
so ithfm readers n
a st
g and forcit'a
interest is manifested in establishing man
ufacturtes, and also in South Carolina, we
seethe establishment of a Cotton Factory
strongly recommended. Great interest is
being taken on, rqpst all these subjects, and
while so vast amount of cotton :s forced in
to market, the price must necessrily be
low. Many say it will not pay for culti
vation; well, this being the case, why not
turn your labor to something else. Un
less, like an active friend in South Caroli
na, make your cotton crop entirely clear.
One says Wool will not do, another says,
Silk wont do a third tells us stock is too
unprofitable a fourth reiterates the old
saying, that manufactories will ruin our
country and so we go, like an old time
piece, pursuing the even tenor of our way,
without appreciating the great and untold
advantages weenjoy the invaluable re
sources that are lying entirely dormant,
only wishing for some one to call them
forth. But it would t .ke an age to do this.
We discover that our friend Cockbfll,
strongly recommend the rearing of Wool
in the south, and not only to rear, it, but
to manufacture. Should the establish
ment of Cotton and Woolen Factories
prove successful in the South, (and we see
no good reason why they should not,) no
doubt great would be the good arising from
such a course. It matters not much to us
what article shall be produced more abun
dantly than another, but we do feel an
abiding interest in the general prosperity
of our country, whether Cotton, Wool,
Hemp, Flax, Silk, Rice, Sugar, Grass, Live
Stock, or what not, we wish to see the
people prosperous and contented. Diver
sify your labor so ns to give all emplyment.
When one cannot raise Cotton, let him
raise Wool when one cannot raiso Wool,
let him raise Silk; when one cannot raise
Silk, let him engage in manufactories, and
so on until men, women and children are
an
engaged.
Mrs. CAUDLE'S CURTAIN LEC
TURES. Mr. Caudle has lent an ac'piaintance
the family umbrella. Mrs. Candle
lectures thereon.
B.th ! That's the third umbrella gone
since Christmas. What were you to do !
Why let him go home in the rain, to be
sure. I'm very certain Ihnra .wttiUig
about him that could spoil. Take cold,
t - lie dosen't look like one of the
sort to take cold. Besides he'd have better
taken cold than taken our only umbrella.
Do you hear the rain, Mr. Candle ? I say,
do you hear the rain ? Nonsense; you
don't impose upon me. You can't be asleep
wilh such a shower as that ! Do you hear
it, I say? Oh you do hear it! Well,
that's a pretty flood, I think, lo fast Tor six
weeks; and no stirring all the lime out of
the house. Pooh ! Don't think me a
fool Mr. Caudle. Don't insult me. He
return ihe umbrella ! Anybody would
think you were born yesterday. As ifany
body ever did return an umbrella ! There
do you hear it? Worse and worse ! Cats
and dogs, and for six weeks always six
weeks." And no unbrella !
"I should like to know how the children
nrc going to get to school to morrow.
They shan't go through such weather, I'm
determined. No: they shall stay at home
and npver learn anything the blessed
creatures ! sooner than go nnd get wet.
And when they grow up, I wonder who
they'll hare to thank for knowing nothing
who, indeed, but iheir father? People
who cant feel for their own children ought
never to be fathers.
"But I f t. w why you lent the umbrel
la. Oh, yes; I know very well. 1 was
going oui u ua at dear mother's to-mor-rovy
you knew that; and you did it on
w-t w . ii . - r .
purpose. lJom ten me ; you nnic ior me
tog-j there, and taKe every meat) aavan
tage to hinder me. But don't you think
it, Mr. Caudle. No, sir, if it comes down
in buckets fill, I'll go all ihe more. No:
and I won't have a cab ! Where do you
think the money's to come from ? You've
got nice high notions lo that club of yours!
A cab, indeed ! Cost mo sixteenpence at
least sixtcenpx nee ! two and cightpence
for there's back again ! Cabs, indeed ! I
should like to know wlio's to pay for em 7
can't pay for 'em; and Fin sure you can't
if you go on as you do; throwing away
your property and beggaring your'cluldrcii
buying unbrcllas !
Do you hear that rain, Mr. Caudle 1
I s ayj do you hcar'it ? But 1 dont care
I'll co to mother's to morrow: 1 wiil; and
what's more, I'll walk every step nf ihe
way, and you know that will give me my
death. Don't call me a Toolish woman
it's yo;i that's tho foolish man. You know
I can't wear clogs; and with' no umbrella,
that's s ire to cive me a cold it always
docs. But what do you care for that ?
Nothing at all. I may be laid up for what
you care, as dare say I shall and a pretty
doctor's bill ihcre'il be. I hope there w ill!
It will teach you to lend your u.ntrel!a
a;ain. 1 shouli'r.t wonier if I ca-J2ht ny
d?ath; yes: and thahi what yen lent tht
umbrel'a (or. Of course ,
Nice clothes, I sh&il i too, trapesing
through weather he this. My gowaar.J
bonr.ft would to spo;it. Needn't 1 wer
'em then? I ;d ed, Mr. Caudle, I thill
dowdy to please you or anybody else.
Gracious knows ! it isn't often tbat I step
over the threshold; indeed, I might as well
be a slave at once, better, I should say
But when I do go out, Mr. Cnudle, I choose
to go ns a lady. Oh that rain if it isn't
enough to break in the windows.
Ugh I do look forward with dread for
to-morrow! How lam to go to mother's
I'm sure I can't tell. But if I die, I'll doU.
No, sir; I won't borrow an umbrella. No;
and you shan't buy one. ( With great
emphasis.) Mr. Caudle, if you bring home
another umbrella, I'll throw it in the street.
I'll have ray own umbrella or none at all.
"Ha! and it was only last week 1 had a
new nozzle put to that umbrella. I'm sure
if I'd have known as much as I do now, it
might have gone without one for me.
Paying for new nozzles, for other people
to laugh at you. Oh, it's all well for you
you can go to sleep. You've no thought
cf your poor patient wife, and your own
dear chUdren. You think of nothing, but
lending umbrellas !
"Men, indeed ! Call themselves lords
of creation ! pretty lords when they can't
take care of an umbrella !
"I know that walk to morrow will be
the death of me. But that's what you want
then yon may go to your club, and do
as you like--and then, nicely my poor
dear children will bo used but then, sir,
then you'll be happy. Oh, don't tell me !
I know you will. Else you'd never have
lent ihe umbrella ! .
"You have to go on Thursday about
that summons; and, of course, yoa can't go.
No, indeed, you donH go without the um
brella. You may lose the debt for what I
care it won't be so much as spoiling your
clothes better lose it: people deserve to
lose debts who lend umbrellas.
"And I should like to know how I'm to
go to.mother's without the umbrella? Oh,
don't tell me that I said I would go that'3
nothing to do wilh if; nothing at all.-
She'll think I'm neglecting her, and the
little money we were to have, we. shan't
have it all because we've no umbrella.
"The children, too! Dear things!--They'll
be slopping wet: for they shan't
stop at home They shan't lose their learn
ing; it's all their father will leave 'm, I'm
sure. But Hipv io school. Don't
tell met said they shouldn't; you aro so
aggravating Caudle, you'd spoil tlie temper
of an angel. They shall go to school;
mark that. And if they, get their deaths
of cold, it's net my fault didn't lend the)
umbrella."
"Here," says Caudle in his MS., "I fell
asleep; and dreamt that the sky was turn'
ed into green calico, with whalebone ribs;
that," in fac', tho whole world revolved un
der a tremendous umbrella." Punch.
The intelligence from Europe by thes'.iam
er Cnledonia, was published last evening et
ihia oiliee, in advance of every other newspa
per office in the city. The present ministry
of Great Britain, annoas to retain their places
and avert the disastrous overthrow with which
they are menaced by a powerful opposition,
propose a war with the United States, fortha
possession of the Oregon territory. They at
tempttd lo bully us out of the annexation of
Texas, and noV resort To the same empty va
poring on the Oregon question, not only with a
vi.;w to the manufacture of political capital at
home, but with the hope of yet preventing an
nexation by oaeratine upon the fears cf the
people of Texas. War under any circumstan
ces, is a calamity. But a war for the mainte
nance rf car rights is not only justifiable but
honorable, and should it be necessary to resort
to the dread alternative, England will find iu
the United States an antagonist neither power
less nor contemptible.
It is the height of madness for England lo
talk of war in which all Europe would be in
