The enumeration of the free male in ubitants of this state, has been made in the runner directed by the law of the last session. he subject of the apportionment of Repre entationl consistent with the provisions of the Jonstitution for fixing the ratio of repreaen ition in the General Assembly will of course eceive your early attention. Many of the Klerks failed to transmit their returns, as re quired by law, on or before the fi:nt day of September. "A law making returns legal trliic'i have been received since that period would seem to be necessary. Your attention is again invited to the state of our courts. It appeared to be a preva , lent opinion of the last session, 'fliat thi tei den, which from circumstances was then an ticipated, would be a favorable time for a fair iind temperate consideration of our Judicial System. The interval between the sessions .would, it was thought, afford opportunity for reflection upon the amendments suggested, snd also enable you to return to the discharge of your duties with knowledge of tbe public will On '(his important subject My o pinions with regard to it have not changed incp I was placed in the station I now occu 4.PJ1 I take the liberty of referring vmi to niy former messages, particularly that of 1821, for a view of what, has occurred and still occurs to me as the best plan of amend ment.' A plan which lessens the number of courts for the trial of Jury causes; thereby avinsr a sufficient sum to secure to us for de cision of causes in the last resort, an honest, intelligent, prudent and vigorous supreme icourt. In the hinds of this tribunal are our ;UranertVi character and lives. No exertion en be too rreat to nlace it on the best pos sible footing. That the progress of society the increase of population wealth and litigation, would make changes, in the ar rangement of our courts politic antLneces- try was Reasonably to be expected. In ma king alterations, however, we should never lose sight of the wise checks upon the le gislative tlepartment found in our constitu tion: checks not intended "or the individual benefit of Judges, but designed, by protect ing incumbents during good behaviour, to render them independent while they act cor Wclly, and. thus - to secure the rights and It- Mfties of the citizen. The best acquaint d with the dockets of our Supreme Court f Errors and Appeals, represent them as nccominor wore, instead ot less crowaea, ?A number of the causes on one of them have keen depending there for many years and Unless a remedy be applied bv the General Assembly, the situation of the court, so far rem offerimr. as it should, speedy, relief 'o the injured, would seem to create uch delay as almost amounts, in the language of wr bill of rights, to a denial ot Justice and created ereiicnd dissatisfaction.

The directors and other officers of tbe banks, hare been Mure mittinf in their exertions to place the insti tutions in a situation to pay specie without serifltialr atTrctins; the debtor claa of socirtv, hjr their operations. The object they had io w has been reached. . The banks, by a simultaneous act, commenced the payment of specie for their notea on the first day of Sep tember last, and I am highly gratified in being aSle to assure vtwi, thst little or no inconveni itce .has resulted from the measure. A mnrh lesa amount of gold and silver has been railed for than had been anticipated by the ffireetors, and but small part of that which haa been paid, has left the Stale. The resto. ration of a sound currency is a measure, which should receive the unqualified approbation and mmport of every citizen, who feela inter- eed m the future happiness and prosperity o'Tennewse. It sus'ains our credit abroad Of Ives permanent and settled vmlue to pro-! perty, and causes every dollar in the country to circulate usefullr and freely, therebv pre venting much real diminution in the circula ting medium. H is urged by some that .the time selected for the resumption of specie payment was unpropiltons; that in conse quence of the high prices that were obtained fnr cotton and tobacco, in the spring and srmmer of eif hteen hundred and twenty-five, ptcuniarv engagementa were then made, which cannot now be strictly complied with, owing in some degree to the low prices of the produce of the country. -This reasoning would be entitled to consideration if the pe riod could be pointed to, with any degree of certainty, when the community, by a prudent management of its mnnied affairs, might, be unembarrassed, and better prepared to meet the emergency than at present It may not be amiss to notice an opinion entertained by some, that the Bank of the Slate of'Fennenee might not to have commenced the payment of specie without the sanction and direction of the General Awembly. This opinion can not a 1 conceive be supported by any good or even plausible reason. The usefulness of a Bank depends on the credit it sustains, and if this institution had not begun to pay specie, when the other Ranks did, its paper would now be at a great discount confidence in its solvency completely destroyed, and when it should commence the" payment of its notes by order of the legislature, ever dollar that could be collected would be immediately pre sented, which would so cramp its future ope rations, that jt would be of little or do value to, the country. It is confidently believed, that the pecuni ary concerns of our' citisens generally are, all things considered, in a desirable situation. It is true, that the cultivator of the soil cannot get as high prices for the principal articles of exportation. Yet it is equally true, that he has in great abundance all the necessary ar ticles of consumption, and it nur ideas and expectations be not too highly raised if we are satisfied with a reasonable portion of the eroou things ot life it we live within our means if we sell more than we buy, and buv only what we need if we discouraire extra vagant importations of foreign goods by pre ferring our own household manufactures in Shoit, if we be industrious and frugal, we can not fail to be a prosperous and happy people 1 had great pleasure in carrying Into effect your resolution of the last session, requiring the Governor to procure information from the different penitentiaries in the United States, with regard to their usefulness as a means of punishing criminal offences ror the pur pose of giving effect to what I conceived to be the wish and intention of the Legislature, letters of inquiry were addressed to the Go- vernprs ot States where penitentiaries have been established, from many of whom replies have been received, containing much useful and satisfactory intelligence. I am also in debted to Governor Morril, of New ITamp shire, for the receipt of an interesting report from the " Prison Discip'ine Society of Bos ton," which turnishesmucli valuable Informa tion from most of the penitentiaries and state prisons in the union. The information con tained in this report is peculiarly important, and much to be relied upon, because it was obtained troin the personal observa jon of an intelligent & zealous agent of the) society, who was appointed to visit all tne penitentiaries in the United States, for the purpose of collect ing such facts as would enable the society to carry into successful operation the great and benevolent designs tor whicn it was formed. The communications which I hare received upon this subject, Ure thought to be too ex tensive' and numerous" to lay before your bo dy, on account of the time it would require to give them a tun (ma lair investigation: The propriety ot appointing a committee to exam ine and report upon them, is submitted to your aUeotidii. As being intimately connec ted with this subject, the committee might also examine the returns of the clerks of the circuit and county courts touching the ex- peipe ot criminal prosecutions It seems to be universally admitted bv. all those) who have bestowed much attention on the Subject, that the penitentiary system, with the improvements which have been re cently made, is .better calculated to arrest the progress ot crime, and retorm the guilty, than anv penal code that has been heretofore de- Treed. - .Experience has proved, that the pris oners must be classed; that no communica tion should be permitted between the old and hardened villain, and tie young and pliant offender; that the confinement of each indi- j vidual in s separate ceil at nignt, prevent the opportunity of forming dangerous combi nations and leads to reflection on the impro prieties of an ill spent life, which, in many in stances, has produced reformation of the most sincere nd permanent character; ; In compliance with a resolution of yonr last session, a commissioner was appointed to aid the enigeen of tbe C-Jted States, ia saakinr a survey thrwrrh this state, of a route far tW peat atioal road eoniemspUted to he ewUb hshed frosa the city of Waahuigiosi to N.

The instructions wh'xh were given to the commissioner, together with his report, are herewith laid before you In obedience to an act passed at the last aes sinnf two commissioners were appointed on the part of Tennessee, to confer with those of tlie stafe of Alabama, on the practicability of removing the obstructions occasioned by tbn sfusrle Shoals in the TrnnruM n. k . - - - - -- .,-7 improving us bed, or by a canal on the north side f the nver The commissioners from i tbe two states met e.rlw in Rn.mK.. .-A I examined is Hhn.1. -;'.k m.

The propriety , of making cimpensation for the services or those gentlemen, as well as the commissioner who attended the engineers in the examination of s route for the national road, will donbtless receive your favorable consideration.

Marlborough, Penn. 1CMA July, 1826, Dear Sir: 1 take the liberty to forward lor your perusal the followtp. case of a Horned Woman, hoping Ithat from us very rare occurrence, it Inay not prove unacceptible. The accouut may be relied ou, as many others beisiles myself, have seen her, and s .e resides but five miles distant from this place Mrs. li , aged about 7U years. the wife of a fanner of Bucks county, of a robust consiitntion, was affected 4 vears affo.with averv troublesome itch- n; over the centre ol the parietal.

In a short time she per ceived a hard tumour of a horny struc lure occupying the place thus anected, which continued tuf increase, so that by the end ot twelve mon ins, it nau at taineu ine ieiii:tn ot one men. vv u out any cousiUi-rable pain, it has pro gressed in its fcrowth, an inch every year rj ' t I and is at present tour inches in leiigui, i . i:..i' It anu as. tincit as one a nine uugci. a is norattacnea to uie uoue, uui io cu deptly an affectiop of the caticle; com- mencinn with a eranulur hour glass sna- ltd tumor ot three-eights el an men in ength, from which the horn abruptly . ... i rises. After growing siraigni lor one inch and three quarters, it takes a spi ral direction, and has completed near Iv a c rcular turn and a hall horizontally of about the diameter of a quarter dol lar niece. In appearance it so closely resembles the horn of a buck sheep, that was it placed near a real sheep s horn it would be difficult to distinguish be tween them. It is of the same color, a dingy yellow; is as perfectly hard, and has all the rings natural w a norn oi that animal, tapering also, as it aoes to the end. As it occasions no pain excent when a blow c-mnressesits fleshy base between the horn nud the bone; as it is Derfectlv concealed by her head dress, and on account of what is of far more m.iment with her a supersticiou beliefthatitis a judgment from above tor some ot her manitoiu sins, sue re sists all nersuasion to have it removed With sentiments of gratitude, lam yours, &c.
