' The u-hcy of such laws Va i wauaerciaJ aire, and it cannot be denied that in .xt of the great commercial centres of the world. the value of money, or in other words the rate of interest paid for itsusa, depends upon the supply f.na tne demand, and the ruk in curredhv the len der, anl that all attempts, by. law, to oenflae tha rate of interest within certain filed and breseribed limits have proved futile. Sucii being the case, it has been deemed a wisor policy- to reeseve the re- f trvrtions as te the amount to be paid lor tno loan or tbbearance of money over and above a certain fixed rate, where no special agreement is made, and thus to allow money like property to seek its own vaiue. 1 - -v It i said, how truly I am not sufficiently in formed to say, that larze amounts of capital owned by our citizens have gone from our State to seek for more profitable inreKment in other States where the rates of interest are not restricted as by oar law, and that such will rontinae to be the cise to our serious detriment.' It may be doubted whether at this time capital employed la most busi- tboonrmion werfe.m-o4he,' y, and it seems to me that if tbosA Vbo bad not paid ' were entitled to culief, the others'! who had paid promptly "ave still stronger 'claims upon the justice and iibersli- la tSt their supported cause then, to U collect- ; Wilham Byrd.e ot tne . v irpnut uommts- VJSZtii tharbr hfeb ,s mA wuAA .m.-- .n. wth nthr .i aianw. left a verv full and interesting account of J : itnoot rapaang tne reasons tnereior, wnicn 'WrI r"'- i the extension of the line,; not published until the 1 gave In a former meseasf, 1 again recommend On tha first of July last, the Superintendent of der .thtttle of Westover Manu the Asylum renorted to the "public treasurer the scripts" and from Tvhich it appears that the com counties having patients at the institution, and the ; missioners resumed their work in the month or sums respectively duo by them,. amounting in the j September, 1728,, and extended the hne con grrat to the sum of $17,984 57, of which the f jointly,, to a point on the Hico nvei, now in the herit& pai4 in,, with he nubUo taxes before tbe iunt of Person, I behove, whea the horth Caro endJf the last fiscal ye, the sum of$7,109 W,!

This fact fully proves that under the existing law, the counties cannot be safely relied upon to . reimburse the Treasury n such cases. . . -. , " ' " . . . It is true that the law provides that if the tax shall not be paid by -any county within' twelve inorths after it is due. the President and Directors of the fiterary Jund shall ..deduct the amount thereof from the share of such county, . in the com mon school fund next to be distributed,' and pay the same to the public Treasurer.'

" ,- , , , ..'. - .I: I transmit herewith reports made to me by my request by the Presidents of th Atlanno and North Carolina Bailroad Company, the Western North Carolina Railroad Company, lb Chesapeake and Albemarle Canal - Company,, and the Cape r ear and Deep luver Navigation Company, the only works ia which the State ia interested as a stockholder, which are now, or have . been, in a course of construction since the adjournment of tbo last legislature. These reports are sot as full as they would have been, had more time been allowed ia . their pre- par do q : but they may. serve to show . the pre sent condition of these works and of toe com panic. In a short time I hope to be able to present to you additional reports from these eo-npantes, and also reports from other companies -. ia which the State is a stockholder. I forbear to comment on these reports as you will havo ample opportunity to examine them when printed . and laid before I have so often expressed - my opinions .to the Lq Islature on the subject ' of internal improve ments that X deem it. nnneeceasarj to repeat them quired at this session. If the Legislature be disin dined, as it has been heretofore, to make the Asy lum acnarga upon the state at large, then, it seems to me, that , some mora efficient mean should be adopted : to . enforce prompt payment . by the oountiee otherwise Joe support of the institution will sertoualy . embarrass the - operations of the Treasury. , I apprehend that it will be found difficult, in practice, to have a State tax, in a county, levied and collect Jd, promptly, through the agency of the County Courts. : Such modo of le vying and collect ings a Stmte tax would seem to be an anomaly: I can see no means of effecting, a prompt collection of such a tax on coantUss, ' except through the di- rec mtrrvenuon 01 me omcers or tne estate. Should the tax be continued on land and noils. the means ouId be furnished in the Comptrol ler's Office of ascertaining what vcr centum unon the lands and poll of any county, would raise, the amount due to the State by that County. By the la w, as it now is, the Superintendent of the Asv- made ou. and signed as before, and the North Car olina ixo missioners returned noma. vv hereupon tbo Virginia Commissioners loue epptioued. the line some seventy-two or three miles farther wes. j crossing the DarT several times, and farther'oa a ! large stream which' they called the Irvin, and terminating not xar. irom tne mountains, on "a rivulet which: ran with a swift course' towards the south," making the whole distance,, as computed by them, fom the sea stKre to the terminu of the line,.

' This terminus I be-1 lieva to be in the preaent county of Stokas. -The writer tanner states that posts were put down to show the line at the crossingat the -roads, but ! though the forests the line was merely chopped on' the tree. ;..

Indeed, the examina tion made during tbe present year, not only by cieatifio men, but by thcee having a practical knowledge of such matters, have tended more and more to bring to light tha immense mineral re sources of Uat remar kable region, -r ' Some of these 'gentlemen I have seen and con versed with, and all concur In Ueae opinion, and especially a to tha existence Uere of immense 5 use lilies of Ue most valuable kind of iron ore. o develop thia weath, however, there was but oae opiaion also as to tha necessity of proper means for iu transportation, WiU adequate Bailroad and water facilities, ao doubt was entertained by any of them, as to tbe rapid development of Ue 1 I I . a a aa - coax enu iron inieresi, ana iaai it would oe speed ily followed by oUers almost aa important. ' I deem it my duty to call your attention to Ue coouiuow ot ounauiBs eysseea. a regret to say Uat we have aow scarcely any military organi zation in the State, except what is to be found ia a few volunteer companies. Bat few Regiment exist Uat have offioers, or that are called out' at aay time to ' perform military duty. Should an emergency arise requiring Ue employment of any considerable militaty force, we aboutd, for a time, be almost powerless for want of any organization. If a well regalated militia be of the first impor tance ia our syt'em of government, (and (uch bas been Ue opinion of oar wisest men, boU civ il and military,) Uensom-thing should be done to infuse vitality into that ef our State, ao a to n!m lnacoMition,if nofaoduve efficiency as a miU ( itary body, at lean in one in which it might be! H1M1 I submit Uese suggestion for your consideration. Of oourse Ue details should be such as to protect the counties as well as Ue State, reaairin? the Sberiifr to pay to tbe State only the amount due and to account for any overplus collected to the coun ties. . - The reports of the Superintendent of Common Schools for Ue last and present year will be laid i . r . . . . ueiore you, wwnicai rcmr you lor information as to the schools. That officer, wiU his usual indus try, soon after the rise of the last Legislature, made a digest of the laws on the subject of Com mon Schools, a large edition of which, a well as of Uelawa ia full, was published by the Literary Board and generally disseminated Urouch the State. - With much skill and care he also prepar ed a Common School Register, which was DubhsL- ed by order of the Board in sufficient number to furnish one to .each school in the State. The con of .this publication was considerable, but the Reg ister will last for six or eight years, and will tend greatly to promote order in the schools and uni formity in Ue System Urooehout the State. I have every reason to believe that the evstemiaan improving one, and that we shall realize from it tbe most beneficial results. Experience bas shown from time to time', wherein our Common School laws- were defective. The legislation of Ue last session, lam Informed, had a salutarv effect in curing some abuses, and some further legislation may be necessary. But I prefer to make no par ticular recommendations on tbe SublecL as tha Superintendent, from his knowledge of Ue practi cal workingof Ue system, is better qualified than s am so suggest suca amendments a are neoeasarv lativd duties.
