'J'he reply of the President to the call by the House of Representatives, for informa tion on the subject wag sent in to. the House of Representative yesterday, and. on the motion of Mr. Toombs,, a select committee has been raised to consider the subject. A debate took ;place! upon the motion, in the course of which ione of the leading supporters of tbj. President de clared bis opinion to be that ihe disburse ment of the money at leapt, if not its col lection, was wholly unconstitutional. We trust that a decisive Protest will be placed on record in the House of Rep resentatives against thi usurpation of power, such asshall servje for a beacon and a, warning to all future Presidents who may take it into tbejr heads to usurp powers which the Constitution . has not only not conferred upon them, but has ex pressly confided to the Legislative branch of the Government. 1 Massachusetts Spcciuli Election.

Gtvrd6r. HaAiilton' Fi Wmia Oeu'ten i. ant Goverrioij George V. PaUr?on were inductrd into v their respective offices at Albany on Monday last. 1 On the next day the Legislature of the State commenced its annual session, the Lieutenant Governor presiding in the Se nate, and ihHouse of Representatives havri been organized by the re-election of the; Hon. Anios K. Had ley as Speaker of that iody. On the same day-the first Message of Governor Fish was sent to the Legisla ture. From this document we learn that the credit of the .State is in excellent condi tion. The public debt amounts to 823. 822;304. The revenue for the fiscal year amounts to 83.833,959, all but S629.8S9 of which is derived from the canals. The outgoes and expenditures of the treasury (tho necessary expenses of the GovOj-n- ment being S200 000) were about hal&a million less, and this balance is applica hie to the Erie Ca,nal enlargements, fcc. The canal tolls were $200,000 less this; , . . . . , .. year mat! 111 1847, Whl'41 the unusual e.- portation of produce increased them. ASlate Agricultural School is recom mended for the promotion of agricultural science ; also, Boards of Supervisors to re lieve the Legislature of much local busi ness; also, a modification of the. criminal code, with a view to reliance rather on certainty than severity of punishment. The school districts reported during the year were 10,021 ; number of children taught776,723, b-i ng an increase of 27, 330. Money paid for teachers' wages, 039,008 ; paid on rate bills for teachers' wages, 8460,074; total, S1.105,0S2. A mount expended for district libraries, 881.024. The Mexican war is introduced, and 1 the army complimented for its gallantry. and thence the Governor runs into the question of slavery in the acquired Terri tories, which, he adds, the people of New York will never consent to. NaiInt. THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE. Charles Louis Napoleon is son of Louis, ex King of Holland. He was born in Pa ris on the 20th of April. 1808. He was a faVorite of bis uncle Napoleon. Upon the banishment of his family he removed with bis mother to Augsburg. Afterwards he became si citizen of Switzerland. He was'again banished from France after the Julyj revolution, (1830.) In 1831 lie took part in an Italian insurrection against the Pope. The-same year be visited England. Again he resided in Switzerland for two or three years, and occupied himself with authorship, political and military. He was concerned in another insurrection at Slrasburg in 183G ; was imprisoned in Pii ris, and sent to this Country. Some time in 1837 or '33 be took up his residence in England, where he remained till 1810. j For his unsuccessful affair --at Boulogne that year be was sentenced to imprison- j ment for life. In 1810 be made, bis es- j cape, and again, resided in England until j in SerjKmber last! when be was relume! ! as a Duty to the National Assembly from j the department of the Seine. His fortunes j and conduct since that tire as well known J to our rentiers as newspaper reports could j make them. Phil. Bulletin. i INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.

THE CENTRAL RAIL ROAD PRO JECT. We learn that a bill was introduced in to the Senate on Monday last, by Mr. Ashe, of New Hanover, to charter a Rati Roail Company, from Goldsborough via Raleigh, to this place It was estimated that the Road would cost about 3.000.000 dollars, or about 19,000 dollars per mile distance 1C5 miles. It is said that the op position to the Danville route is so strong. that it cannot pass many considering -it well calculated to drain our State of its wealth, while it enriches Virginia and South Carolina. We must confess, that this view struck us very forcibly, when the scheme was first agitated, but then we were of the opinion frothing would be done by the State irfihe way of improve ments, and we were willing" to give our humble influence to the road unwilling that the surplus produce of the surround ing country should longer be sacrificed for want of a1 convenient way of getting to a market town within our own State. Any'would have been preferable to the present snail gate mode. Since the agitation of the new roule, having bestowed some little thought on it, we are of the opinion that it is the on ly scheme which can give us character abroad and raise us from the depressed condition under which, we as a people, are now suffering. In this route, we have not only an opportunity to enrich ourselves, but to build up our own Toivns, and event ually connect the two great sections of the State from one extremity to the other. Such a communication has been ar dently desired by many of the most devo ted sons of the Old North State. 1 And why should it not be done ? Why should we not as one people, living in the same Slate, and governed by the same laws, de sire to be brought closer together? There is no, good reason why such should not be the case. This Road has our most hear ty approbation. With a Turnpike Road from Salisbury to the Georgia line (for we learn that a charter has already passed I be Senate, and that the State has invested largely in it) we must rise from the tbraldrom and domin ion of general apathy, and assume an en tirely new garb. Our fields, vhiclfnaw produce but half of what they ought to yield, will present syi aspect pleasing to j the eye of ihe farmer business of every i kind more thriving, and the laborer will j receive a larger compensation for bis work, i That such may soon be realized hy the State we rnust ardently wish. In fact,! we do not see how the members of the J Legislature can have the face to return home to their constituents without doing something towards ameliorating the con dition of the people. While our sister States on the North and the South are straining every nerve to offer inducements to their inhabitants to remain, enrich, and improve the soil of their nativity, the rep- resentatives of this State ought not and must not refuse to hold out and afford such assistance, as will have the same effect j withinur own borders. On account of! the do-nothing policy of our law makers for many years past, North Carclina has ; been drained of thousands of talented and j enterprising men, now the pride and orna- j ment of other States. Let a liberal and j enterprising spirit, for the future, actuate j and govern our Legislature, instead of at- tending to'thal which properly belongs to the Congress of the United States. this will not be so any longer, but our young nV !,., rr men will remain amongst us and seek that renown and preferment which they are now seeking and obtaining by hundreds, in other States. INSANE HOSPITAL. As a bill for the erection of an Insane Hospital has passed the Legislature, we would call the attention of those who have "7 ' " , . en. . y , 1 , . interests and success ol this Iusnttt.w" been entrusted with the selection of a site. , ami nis rHjrernent trom its superintend to Salisbury. We believe no place in ence, will be attended wib the regrs f 'orth Carolina, presents such advantages j all those who have marked hisf reata' for the location of the Hospital as this ! '" and efliciency though their regrets place. It is pretty central and labor of all kind is very low. Provisions of every de scription, and groceries, such as sugar, coffee, salt, &c, &c. arc much cheaper, we believe, than in any other section. This should have considerable weight with the Commissioners inselectinga loca tion, as it must save a large amount to the I imMiinii.. - ctt -.. : i : i oimcnniiunuy. oansoury is nwu mwras- ing in business every year, and must soon become the preat tlitoroushfare of the I . J State from the four points of the compass ; and should the road be built either to Danville or Goldsborough, must beyond doubt be the great inland commercial mart of the State. We trust the claims of our Town will be dulv considered. SONS.
