This itnmansa geographical surfaca has been organized six new sunreying dar partmtnts. During this period there have been sold for cash 30,935,174 acres, for which has been received $27,940,151 ; lo cated for mijitary bounties ,15,806,200, ap prored under swarop-land grants 30,199, 056, and granted for railroads 17,036,282 ; making the aggregate of 93,976,772 acres," grants. As one illustration of the great labor incident to the accompIUhmenj of these operations, it is mentioned that the records of correspondence cover ninety thousand folio pages. Eight thousand ac counts hare been adjusted, and four hun dred thousand land patents hare been is tsued by the General Government .The discontinuce of four offices of Sur veyors-General ia recommended, and tni tiatory'steps have 'been taken to that end. The number of applications under the re cently enacted bounty land kvws, to the r . i i . ee rr J . . 1 - amined 239,726 of which 182,070 have been allowed, and warrants issued cover ing 22,003,290 acres ; 57,656 have been suspended or rejected, leaving 25.542 o rigiaal cases not yet examined. The report , recommends thatj further power be given to the Commissioner of Pensions to sus pend, diminish or discontinue pensions when the reason) for granting them has partially or totally censed, and the Secre tary is convinced from experience and re flection that the phly true principln upon which to base pensions is that of indigence, f -In4' the opiuion of ihe Secretary, there are distinctions and.jdicrimin&tions between army and navy pensions which are unrea sonable, and should not be permitted lung- on i. ,r T i.

The continued per petration of frauds ia connection with pen sions is noted.- J"j" - J " ; - The fisld-work: of the Mexican Cbunclary Commission has been all accomplished, as stated in the last report.' The Mexican Commissioner, according to agreement with the American Commissioner, repaired to Washington .'about the 1st of July last, for the purpose of constructing the maps re quired by treaty "to show the boundary, and three maps will be furnished by the 1st of March next. The first part of the report is already in the hands of the print er, and nothing retards its publication but the necessary delay in engraving the maps. The report again calls attention to the extraordinary . expenses of the judiciary, and urgss the absolute necessity for a radi cal change or modification of such of the laws as relate thereto. In regard to the Insane Asylum, the re port says that on the 30th of Jane, 1855, there were within the same CO patients, and during the fiscal year there were re- ceived 47 ; 8 died ; 6 were discharged, and there .were left on the 30th of June, 1856, 93 patients. The institution is in a flourishing condition, and bids fair to be the first in the country. I , - . The number (of convicts in the Peniten tiary of the Districts of Columbia is 72. Thirty-hve were admitted and 23 discharg ed during the past year. The expense of managing it is now nearly equalled by the income, and the excess is being yearly diminished. The estimated cost of the contemplated new jail, at or near the peni tentiary, ia 9150,000. The site, however, js not altogether unobjectionable. -The report tlraws attention to the want rtt auitahle accommodations for tha Crimin al Court of the District of Columbia, The ' Bridge across jthe Potomac will not be finished this winter-but a full report on the progress made may be expected in Febru ary. , The report notices that the improve ment of the grounds south of the Execu tive Mansion has been completed ; and, ihough all that is required has not been done, yet the public grounds in the city of Washington have bsen considerably im proved. - - - The report enters into some interesfing tatistics respecting negotiations and deal ings w it hf the Indians, and closes with tiRiiiiiiir iifittiiuiiii v lu ma uusa ujaiJiini in which the Chiefs of Bureau add the em ployees of the Department nave uiscnafg ed their official Hutietf.

The ConventioD reassembled to-day. - Mr. Jones, of Georiria ' movef3 to t?e from the table Mr. Goulding's "resolution sTa Slave tratte rlestonSiln VI. lative to tne re opening of the Mr. Spratt, editor of the Cbarlesto daxd, hoped the motion would" prevail. He thought the question of slavery a most ap- pr,opriate -one occupy the attention of tne Convention. He' advocated a renewal of the slave trade, end desired to bear their objections stated by those who resisted the consideration of tBSsubject. The Conven tion should not reefgniss the Tight of Con gress to impose restrictions upon the slave trade. They should meet tha question at once. , - , Mr. Hohter, of Virginia, "rhcught the Convention, was not competent to consider the subject. It was a great moral ques tion, and the South should ponder long be fore defying the opinion of the whole chris tian world. The recent message of the Governor of South Carolina astonished the whole South, and for one he (Mr Hunter) was not prepared to endorse the views there in embraced. The subject was one involv ing trscnendous consequences, and time for reflection was necessary. Mr. Iichardson, of Maryland, said he was not prepared to advocate commerce in slaves, and he hoped the firebrand would not be considered. Mr. Gholson, of Virginia, opposed tak ing the subject up, unless we now discuss with the world the moral question. If the South desired the revival of" the slavo trade, if would drive away many now with v, and be regarded as a direct attack upon the Union. 4 Mr. GouMing, of Georgia, made a fiery speech, defending the renewal of the slnve trade. He believed the institution of slave ry to be from God, and was ready to de fend it in a!l its bearings..' It conferred e qual blessings on both race.'. It was, in his opinion, a greater crime to tear husband from wife in Virginia to work the cotton fields in the South than to purchase the ne gro in Africa, and christianize and civilize him. Now was the time to -decide the question, and assert our rights before the whole world. Messrs. Cropper and Green, of Virginia, endorsed Mr. Goulding's views. Mr. McLeOd, of Texas, pledged his State iothe extremes! views urged Mexice. is fall ing -to pieces by our side, and we must in troduce there our peculiar institution and counteract European- mtrigues. Negro la bor is necessary for the development of that region. . s.; The motion to take up was lost: Ayes 18,. noes 63 Soath Carolina, Texas, and part of Tennessee only voting in the affirm ative. . Air. Cochrane, of Alabama, chairman of the Business Committee, reported a series of resolutions relative to the Pacific rail road. The first declares that the General Government. has no power to construct the road; that the railroad should be made along the line of the 32d parallel, by and from the States, individuals, and Territories, and by grants of Jand by the General Gov ernment, and by contracts tor carrying the mails, military stores, &c ; also, recommend ing to the Southern Stales to aid, by every means, the construction of the road. . . The first resolution was adopted; the second elicited a long debate. . Mr, Buckwell defended the resolutions as a practical measure. He regarded the road proposed aa a conduit to carry South ern institutions to the countries bordering on the proposed route, including northern Mexico. The co-operation of the .whole South is needed, or the route through the Northern States will be selected, to injure the South. He denied 'the power of the General Government to build the road.' L Air. Hubbard, ol Alabama, tnoueat as the General Ooveroment was benefited by the bunding of the road, it should grant land therefor. , :.-,-',. . Mr.' Clemans, of V irginia, opposed at lenrth the asking of grants from Congress as likely to lead to corruption aad abuse of power, .

The Portland State of Maine says that shortly after five o'clock on Tuesday morn ing: two assassins entered the house of the venerable Judge Potter, now in his eight ieth year, and one of them made a murder ous assault upon the judge as he lay in bed. Ihe judge was awake when the ruffians entered bis room, and called "Whoa there.? ' The man immediately advanced and leveled a brow at his head, -cutting a deep gash on the side of it, through a flan nel cap and a silk handkerchief which he wore underneath it like a bandage across the forehead. He Was nearly stunned by the blow, but had presence of mind enough to cry for help and draw his bedclothes over bis head. Three other blows follow ed in quick succession, two falling in front and the' other on the right side of his head. His cry raised his daughter and servant, who both answered his call, when the as sassins retreated down stairs and out of the front door, which had been unbarred The recovery of the judge is very doubtful CO-PARTNERSHIP NOTICE.

The Message of onr creat and good President Pierce. 1d which be asserted the rishts of tho South under the Constitution, contained the pre cise doctrine that The Commercial had advocated for many years, and the Cincinnati Convention having sustained that doctrine, we found in the GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY, those with whom we could conscientiously act noder the influence of onr judgment and the im pulse of our heart. The principles avowed in the Cincinnati Platform, win t anstamea bow and so long aa we remain in public lite. We believe Buck an ax and Brccbenridob will be the honest and faithful exponents of the prin ciples to which we adhere, and on which the safety ana Itapplnvt of th sontn aepena. rare in private character, honest in public life and of unimpeachable patriotism, tbelr e Wet ion can alone preserve this Union from rain and disas ter. - ' Thos wlio have heretofore read oar paper, know that we have long desired to meet the pres ent hour, when the South will demand her rights without stint or compromise, and nee how many of th National Deatteratsof th Pre States will austain her just im-tt-iw. Enough will befl found, we hope and l-liv to bear our Banner through ibe "battle and th breeze," and assist as to transfix it on the ramparts of th Constitu tion. - - - - : fyStrict attention paid to reports of Markets, domestic and foreign- Respectfully, T.
