ITIALE academy AT TIIE LIMESTONE SPRINGS. < THE Subscriber will, on Monday the 9th of January next, open a boarding school at- the; j Limestone Springs in Spartanburg. At this insti^. I tution, it is intended to embrace a more extensive course of studies, than has heretofore been taughC in Academies in this State. It is a lamentable, y ei:. a well known fact, that in Grammar Schools ou^1 boys are drilled long and laboriously in the acquisi-^ i sition of the Greek and Latin languages, to the utters | neglect of thei: mother tongue, as well as Natural" Science, Mathematics, History, &c. Of the youth, * I who are taught in Academies, not more than one j fourth ever expect to receive a Collegiate education ; ? yet the course of studies is precis sdy the same fori those who do not, as for those who do intend to en-; ter College. The subscriber proposes, in our school at least, to remedy this evil, and to adapt the edu cation of bis pupils to* their views in after-life. While he will not neglect the preparation of .young gentlemen for College, (the best security for which is the uniform success which has attcndec&he arppli--. cation of his scholars for admission tj?ere) he will iaj the instruction others pay more especial attention ' to History, Natural History, Book-keoping, the more practically useful parts of Mathematics as fully and extensively as is now taughtin -our College, and to Elocution, by which is meant, not simply Oratory or Dcclamition , but especially good reacting , which is so essential to every inari as. well as scholar. The healtlrfulnesss of the location, and its remoteness from all temputtions to vice or immorality of any kind combine airantages presented by ft-w, perhaps ' no institution in the State. The scholastic year will be divided into two equal sessions, commencing.on the 1st of January and ending on the 1st of Nov. The terms per session will be 100 dollars, payable in advance, in cl living all the charges for board and tuition. The terms for day scholars will be 17 50-100 dol- ! lars p? r session, payable in advance. Books, Sta tionary, &c. will be supplied to those, who desireit, at the Columbia prices.

Wj^U_of adequate force in these i The ^IflTfibservations may be applied Ordinance Corps, ard :hc General Staff, . .^rat'uws of which, as Jhey. aroitvw<?or > ganized, must either be frequently interrupted, or performed by officers taken from the line of the anny,to the great prejudice of the ser vice. For a general view of the condition of the Military Academy, and <>f other branches of the military service not already noticed, as well as for fuller illustrations of those which have been mentioned, 1 refer you to the accom panying documents ; and ainongthe various proposals contained therein for legislative ac tion, I would particularly notice the su^es tion of the Secretary of War for the revision of the pay of the army, as entitled to your fa vorable regard. The national policy, founded alike in interest and in humanity, so long and so steadily pur sued by this Government, for the removal of the Indian tribes originally settled on this side otthe Mississippi, to the west ofthat river, may be said to have b*en consummated by the conclusion of the late treaty with the Chero kees. The measures taken in the execution of that treaty, and in relation to our Indian af fairs generally, "will fully appear by referring to the accompanying papers. Without dwel ling on the numerous and important ^topics embraced in them, I again invite your atten tion to the importance of providing a well di gested and comprehensive system for the pro tection, supervision, and improvement of the va-ious tribes now planted in the Indian coun try. The suggestions submitted by the ?om missioner of Indian Affairs, and enforced by the Secretary on this subject and also in re^ gard to the establishment of additional m!i?* ~ry posts in the Indian country, are entitled t' i r profound consider!) t ion. Both measures are necessary, for the double purpose of protecting theindians from intestine war, and in other respects complying with our engagements to them, and of securing our western frontier against incursions, which otherwise will as suredly be made ou it. The best hopes of hofhanity, in regard to the aboriginal race, the welfare of our rapidly extending settle ments, and the honor of the United States, are all deeply involved "in the relations^xist ipjjbetjveen this Government and the emigrat ^ifrg^Trfcw:" -i fhrrcPu*. <_?, tiVil At- varitKis matters submitted in the accompanying docu ments, in respect lo those relations, will re ceive your early and mature deliberation; and that it may issue in the adoption of legislative measures adapted to the circumstances and Unties of tie present crisis. You arc referred to the Teport of the Secre tary of the Navy, for a satisfactory view of the operations ofthe Department, under his charge, during the present year. In the construction of vessels at the different NavV Yards, and in the employment of our ships and squadrons at sea, that branch ofthe service has been active ly atTd usefully employed. While the situation of our commercial interests in the West Indies required a . greater number than usual of armed vessels to 5e kept on that station, it is gratify ing to perceive that the protection due to our commerce in other quarters of the world, has not proved insufficient. Every effort has been made to facilitate the equipment of the ex ploring expedition, authorised by the act of the last session, but all the preparation ne cessary to enable it tosaii, has not yet been completed. No means will be spared by the Government to fit out the expedition, on a scale corresponding with the liberal appro priation for the purpose, and with the el evated character of the objects which are to be effected by it. I ' I beg leave to renew the recommendation made in my last annual message, respecting the enlistment of boys in our naval service, and to urge upon your attention the neces sity of further appropriations to increase the number of ships afloat; and to enlarge gen- 1 craily the capacity and force of the navy. ? The increase of our commerce, and our po sition in regard lo the other powers of the world, will always make it our policy and interest to cherish the great naval sources of our country. The report ofthe Postmaster General pre sents a gratifying picture of the condition of j the Post Office Department. Its re\enues,for the year ending the .*H)th of June last, were j $3,393,455 19, showing an increase of reven-? tse, over that ofthe preceeding year, of $404, 878 53, or more than 13 per cent. Its ex penditures for the same year were $2,755,623 76, exhibiting a surplus of $64*2.831 43. The department has been redeemed from embar? rassment and debt; has accumulated a surplus exceeding half a million of dollars; has largely extended, and is preparing still farther to ex tend, the mail service; and recommends a re duction of postages equal to about twenty per cent. It is practising upon the great princi ple which s ould control every branch of our Government, of rendering to the public the greatetest good possible, with the least possi ble taxation tothe people. The scale of postages suggested by the Postmaster General, recommends itself, not only by the reduction it proposes, but by the simplicity of its arrangement, its conformity with the Federal currency, and the improve ment it will introduce into the accounts of the department and its agents. Your particular attention is invited to the subject of mail contracts with rail-road com panies. The present laws providing for the makin^ of contracts are based upon the pre sumption that competition among bidders will secure the service at a fair price. But on most ofthe ra;l-ioad lin.-s, there is no compe tition in that kind of transportation, and adver tising is tnerefore useless. No contract can now be made with them, except such as shall be neu-otia'.ed before the time of offering or aflerwarda, and the power of the Postmaster General to pay them high prices is, practically, Wholesale Grocery.
