US-DISTRICTING THE STATE.
f. -om mend to the attention, of the reader, til
blarticle l 'nul P"lr, copied from the " Fayelte

the State at the next Session of the Legist a-
COMMON SCHOOLS.
Ha publishing to-day, the Statement from the I.it
krury Board, allowing the amount to which each
r..ntv in the Smuiia entitled, under the FkII dietri.
balira, for tba jpurposes of Common School, we
deem it not irrelevant to make a few remanss.
We believe, notwithstanding the beneneeni inien
ti.uia of those who passed the "School Law," as it is
termed, nd tho fidelity with which it provisions are
II.. .11 iro,i iWa nre vet defects, which
geueraujr -
must be remedied, before all the blessings are ex
perienced which were expected to flow from its en
actment. There is a want of system aud regularily
in the delajfe of the plun, which can ouly be reme
died by the appointment of a Superintendant, wiiose
duty it shall be to exercise a general supervision over
all matters connected with the execution of our
School Laws. We cousider our plan of Common
Schoois as the great work of the age for our good old
State. The system may be regarded as one ol In
terval Improvement, beinninr at the ritrlit point, and
radiating otfiuto Ronds and Cauals, by which Virtue
is to be conducted to the heart, and intelligence to
tha mind. But like all other works of magnitude,
there Bhonld be au efficient and responsible bead. A
State Atreut. with proper qualifications, should be ap-
pointed, whose duty it shall oe 0 irove.

Superintendents, and School Committees in the dis
charge, of their duties, and use his influence to
'waken lively interest in the success of Popular
Education. The Father of hisCountry said "There
is fcolhiug that call better deserve our patronage, than
tire promotion of science and literature. Knowledge
is, in every country, liie surest basis of public happi
ness. ilavfERsoN said "Make a crusade against
ignorance, aud establish and improre the laws for
eddtaiing the common people. No other sure foun
dation can be devised for the preservation of freedom."
The elder Adams said "A Republican Government,

learning be liberal. Spare no cost, for by audi par
Mimony, ill is lost that is eaved"
' ;Pf what avail are our Agricultural, Manufacturing
and Mineral resources, if the hearts and intellects of
the rising generation, panting for light aud knowledge,
and love of truth, are permitted to lie as a wilderness.
If we would realize the bright anticipations of patriot
ism illustrate fully the sentiment that man is capa
ble of self government sweep from the precincts of
truth aud heresy, that any class is doomed by Heaven
' to be "hewers of wood, and drawers of water, aud to
suffer from necessity the atrocities of mis-government,"
we must ana every beinghted mind with that

GEN. KEAHXEV'S PROCLAMATION.
A most extraordinary document, under this head,
Is going the rounds of the Newspapers, which we
canuot but believe to be a hoax. By it, the whole of
New Mexico is declared to be annexed to the United
States; and the inhabitants ary not only absolved
' front their allegiance "to Mexico, but are declared to
fce subject tq conviction and execution as traitors,
should they be found in arms against the forces of
the United Stales.
ID It is frequently asked to explain the difference
between the price of Wheat per quarter, and' per bar
rel, .in sterling money. A Caiiida paper says the
simple rule by which every man can ascertain this
for himself is, to multiply the price per quarter by 7,
nd divide by 12, the result will give the amount per
barrel. Thus 56 shillings per quarter, multiplied by
7, and divided by 12, gives 32s. 7d. per barrel.

GREENSBORO', N. C.
We have received from a friend at Greensboro', a
Pamplet entitled " CreensboitniBh, Us Population,
Schools, Health, &c." This thriving Town "is
beautifully situated in a high healthy country, sur
rounded by no streams of importance, eighty miles
west of Raleigh, and is the largest and most thriving
town in the State west of that Ci.y.
"Its population at the last Census was about eight
teen hundred ; and now it is supposed lo be near two
thousand. It is a place remarkable, for the euergj,
industry and morality of its inhabitants ; and for Ihe
successof its mercantile, mechanical and other indus
trial pursuits.
" Hut to its excellent Schools, is it mainly indebted
for that enviable distinction it now enjoys: besides its
" Fiee Schools," and Sabbath Schools, and several
other elementary Schools, there are three institutions
of learning intended by their founders to be of a high
order ; and the friends of each desire no other pat
rouage, than that lo which merit aud success may
entitle them.
"The" Greensborough High School," a Male In
stitution which succeeded to the Caldwell Institute.
The " Edgeworth School," a Female Seminary
of established reputation.
" The Green.'iborougli IVmaleT College," an lusti
tution which has just gone into operation under very
favorable auspices.
We learu also, from this Pamphlet, that the num
ber of deaths iu Greensboro', for the last IG 'mouths,
from all causes, and of all colours, was only 10 be
ing an average of only one death a month.
SOMETHING " UtCH AND RARE."
The New Orleans Delia publishes the following

New Orlians, Skit. 17, 1846.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt
of two favors from you, one dated 3Il July, the other
Slii of August. 1 can only auswer by a yarn.
A countryman of mine was ooce indulging in the
very intellectual occupation of sucking fresh eggs
raw and reading a newspaper. By some mischance
he contrived to bolt a live chicken. The poor bird
chirruped as it went dowu his throat, and he very
politely observed, " Be the powers, my friend, you
spoke loo late'."
I cau only say, sir, that your favors have reached
me too late. They have been chasing me through
the Mexican post-offices j that is, lo express myself
more clearly, when I received them, they (the let
ters) were down in Mexico and I was up here ; and
when I did'nt receive them, they were up here and I
was down there.
The fact is that most of my men have been paid
off, and are scattered to the four quarters of the globe.
They were mostly sailors, as I was myself. From
them (if there be charges) nothing can be expected.
The camp and garrison equipage has beenJLurned
over to the proper officers, with the exception of en a
dry axe smashed and placed. hor$ du combat in
chopping'Sowu those amiable chaparrals on the banks
of the Rio Grande. I except, alsb, the camp kettles
anu paiw, many of which were used up iu roasting,
boiling, stewing, and fry ing out pork and beaus, ba
con, and fresh kef, not to speak of the slow venison,
which some were ill-natuied enough to call Mexi
can beef.
l or my own responsibility in the mat'?r, I regret,
more ou "Uncle Sam's account than my own, that I
am not worth a continental Jamn. I have beau not
onlv paid, b'lt I believe nyerjiaik by alK ut TiO. My
conscience comLetiea me to reu;oiiiruio w u
raym'sters but t'.ey assured me that they made n
,, .iBi'knk bank tellers- sometimes say the saihe. I
confide. ed l'i;ir feelings and rtrhilged them. ' How
ever, I maile a good use ot the mou")' : I Jave it te
the sick aua unpaid soldiers.
Most of the oilier captains are in the same fix with
myself (barring ihe overpay) about responsibility, aud
refer to my epistle as an answer.
II yon hava auy further communications for me,
please direot to the care of Maj Gen. John L. IWis,
New Orleans. I seldom go to ihe post office, be
cause I have no body to correi-iKHiuw itli, and jet I am
not the man who never had lather nor mother, but
was " wou in a rallle." . t
Very respectfully, I

THE STANDARD'S CONSISTENCY.
The Standard complaint of the editor vi the
ister for not publishing (ho opinions of the
UnliTa Republican, the Charlotte Journal, the
Wilmington Chronicle, and the Rutherford Re
publican ou he subject of Re-District! g the
State, and asks with mock earnestness, " why
"does "the editor rcfUsVtelet h?g readers ace boll
sides of the question 1One would enpnoso,
from the Stamlard'i articlcXjhat those Wh
prints were slrongly opposed to fhemcasure, ami
had offered very cogent reasoriB whyKFliould not
be adopted ; when the fact ia, thai theyhave
done no euch thing, but merely expressed ee)me
doubt as to its expediency. As two sides to iho
question have not yet been made out, hew can
the Register, or auy oilier Whig editor, ho cen
sured lor not giving "both sides" of ihe ques
tion ? But how farccial is it for tiie Standard to
rebuke oilier prirtta for not giving " both sides of
a question !" When did the Standard ever in
dulge iu readers wilh a luxury of I hat kind ?
The editor could not even find it in his heart lo
give place to tho letter of Mr. Leake, one of tho
Democratic candidates for Governor last spring,
because it gave " two sides" to the matter be
tween him and Mr. Sliepard.
Rut the Whigs have no desire to suppress ar
g umerits oil cither Bide ; wuatever is done in Iho
preinisep, will be done after due deliberation and
a full hearing of all parties concerned. They
have no fear of the "chasm of disorganization"
which llir fancy of the Standard has opened ; for
tliey wiii lake good care that they do not tumble
into it. They have more cause to fear the sliac
kles which t ho Democratic Legislature of 18 12
imposed upon them, by which the voice of some
61)00 freemen was suppressed. They do not
consider the law of 13ivi to be irrepealable, like
the laws of the Modes and I'ersians, and they
think they have woru the shackles long enough.
