Academy in Greenville, at 2 o'clock, P. in this resnet. has been iroverncd bv a M.. on Tuesday of our February Court." in this respect, has been governed bv a ... i f . tonscienlious purpose to exercise the re moving poer only in case of unf.ithful ness or inability, or in those in which its exercise appeal i.'d accessary in order to discountenance a;id suppress that spirit of active Dartisjushin on the nrt of h dders of office, which not o dv wiih-draws them from lb ? steady and impir'ial discharge of their otnei d dtiti!', b it exuiis an undue and injurious infl-.ience ovt'r election, and degrades the character of t!ic Government itself, inasmuch as it exhibits ia Chief Magistrate as being a party, through hi a gents, in the secret plots or opon working of political parlies. In respect to the exercise of th! power, nothing should be left to discretion which may safely be regal Hud by law; and it is of high importance to restrain, as far a possible, the stimulus of personal interests in public elections. Considering the great increase which has been made in j public ollices in the last quarter of a centu ry, and thi probability of furth r increase, we incur the hazard of witnessing violent political contents, directed too often to the single object of retaining lhce by those who are iu, or obtaining it by those who are out. Uuder the influence of these tonvictions, 1 shall cordially concur in any constitutional measures for regula'ing, and, by regulating, restraining the power of re moval. 1 suggest, for your consideration, the propriety of making, without further de lay, some specific application of the funds derived under the will of Mr. Smithson, of England, for the diffusion of knowledge, anu wmcn nave neretoiore ueen vested in public stocks until such time as Congress shouldjhink proper to give them a specific direction. Nor will you, I fetl confident. permit any abatement of the principal of me legacy to oe matte, should tt turn out that the stocks in which the investments have been made have undergone a depreci ation. In conclusion, I commend to your care the interests of this District, for which you are the exclusive legislators. Considering that this city is the residence of the Gov ernment, and, for a large pirt of the year, of Congress; and considering also the great cost of the public buildings, and the pro priety of affording them at all times care ful protection, it seems not unreasonable that Congress should contribute towards the expense of an efficient police. JOHN TYLER. Washington, December 7, 184 1. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1841. (fyNo paper will bo issued from this office the ensuing week.'

Agreeably to notice a Republican mee'ing was held at Greenville, Pitt co. on Satur day, 1 1th of December, 141. On motion of Willie Brown, Williams J. Stancill, Esq , wa called to the Chair and on motion of Rippen Ward, George W. Tison was appointed Secretary. Henry I.

Battles1 Factor) Recently passing in the neighborhood ol the Cotton Factory, owned bv those enterprizins centlemen. the Messrs. Battle, we called by and gave it a hasty examination. It is situated at the Fails of Tar River in E Ijjecombe county, within a very few yards however. of the Nash line, and about a mile distant from the Wilmington Rail Road. The building itself is of hammered Stone, and, ol course, ol most substantial character. It is three stories hiih, besides the base ment, and is S3 feet lone by 46 wide. The whole establishment -is in the full tide of successful experiment. " The machinery is of the best kind, and a great part of it, we understand, has not only been invent ed, but made by the enterprising Proprie tors themselves. .We are not much vers ed in matters of this sort, but we learn from a gentleman conversant with the principles of machinery, that the improvements are of a valuable character, and exhibit great ingenuity in their construction. The num ber of spindles tun is UOO,and the average daily amount of work turned out, about 115.

On portions of the Tim bered Land, near Lake Pungo, in Hyde, belonging to the Stale, the Trees are of al most incredible size; and it is not to be wondered at, landing as they have done for centuries undisturbed, and imbedded in a soil of surpassing fertility. A Cypress was recently found there, measuring 3,s feet in circumference, which gives a dia meter about 13 feet! Only think of a Tree large enough lor a Horse Stable, with room enough inside of it, to admit of two cariia ges passing abreast of each other! We were assured too, by a very respect able gentleman, that 1 3 bushels of Corn were raised by a neighbor of his in the hol low of a Cypress stump! ib. (QMr. A. C.: " Dickinson, Contractor for the Tributaries to Puugo Canal, in formed us last week, that Hie has killed the present year, almost within sight of his dwelling, Seventy Lher!" One day, he killed two Bucks, and caught, with a com mon hook and line, 400 lbs. of Fish! ib. The Swamp Lands. The sale of re claimed Swamp Lands, adveiti.sed to take place in Hyde county on the last day cf November, was very thinly attended, and none of it was sold because the bids were below the minimum price fixed on the same by the Board, low as it was conceiv ed to be. The value of the timbered Land can hardly be estimated It is worth from Sao to 100 per acre for Shingles and Rails alone, and will command, after the timber is cut off, S50 an acre for cultivation. At least, this is the ordinary price of the adja cent Mattamuskcet Land, which is, in no expect, superior to that owned by the State. The Literary Board, therefore, however anxious they might he to convert these uinus into a tund which would serve to drain Swamps in other sections of the Mate, could not think of sacrificing them especially, as a postponement of the sale could, in no wise, ahect their value. Was not the hand of industry afraid to strike, ana were not the energies ot our people paraiyzeci hy the present unhinged state of me country insomuch, that no man, wnaiever his ability, likes to embark in new enterprises these Lands would readi ly command from ?30 to S50 per acre. As it is, the State will have tosusnend her operations in this branch of Internal Im provements, until a more propitious state ol atlairs, and a more just appreciation of the value of these Lands, (the fertility of a portion of which is not exceeded by any in the Union,) shall create a demand and market for them. We understand that, for the present, it is the intention of the Board, to receive at their office in this city, private bids for the iano. a piat, exhibiting the various sec tions, location. &e... hr Kpon loft i Agent in Hyde, and a corresponding one placed in possession of the Board here. So, that nothing more is necessary for a person 10 do who desires any particular Tract, than to designate it by the Plat, stating the price he is willing to give, and forward his bid to the Board, when they will consult their Plat, and decide upon the offer. ib.
