?H--assass-Hi beyond tlio narrow bounds of their country and rose into offices of trust and importance, in all tho nations of the worldThere were no societies for the diffusion of useful knowledge in those days, llut the Sabbath was kept holy; it wan a day of which every dissipating frivolity was excluded by a stem senso of duty. The popular mind, with weight imparted to it by the pulpit addresses of the day, expatiated on matters of grave import, of #)??* fnn/lanrttf " -? ??..vu %MV tvMuvnvj w?a W WllVfllirilW and strengthen, not scatter and wcekcn,the faculties; and cog'tations of the weak came to bear in consequence a Sabbath day stamp of depth and solidity. The one in the seven struck the tone for the other six. Our modern apostles of popular instruction rear up no such men among tho masses as were developed under tho Sabbatarian system in Scotland Their aptest pupils prove but the loqua cious gabblers of the respective worships ?shallow superficiality, that bear on the surface of their tninds a thin diffusion of ill-rcmetubered facts and crude theories and scarcely, indeed, do we see them rising in the scale of society; they become Socialists by hundreds, and Chartists by thousands, and get no higher. The disseminator of more useful knowledge take? aim at the popular iornorance! hut. hU in. Apt and scientific gunnery does not include in its calculations tlio parabolic course ol man's spiritual nature; and so, aiming di. rect at the mark, lie aims too low, and the charge falls short. Jt-rT Tlio" Committee of ways ami Means, to whom was referred the Report of the Comptroller General, together w itl the accompanying vouchers, ask leave tc REPORT.

The examination of theso documents is very gratifying, as exhibiting a very flourishing condition of the finances of this State. The total indebtedness of the State consists of Five Loan Bonds, amounting to 1(1,743,307,93 Tlio remains of tho State, three, five and six per cents 171,071,04 A small debt to the Catawba Indians, of 24,710,71 and the surplus revenue 1,051,422,09 Making altogether ?2,980,577,77 But, if from this wc deduct what we know it will never bo required of us to pay, viz.: the surplus revenue 1,051,422,09 We shall have $1,929,153,08 The whole of the amount, except the debt to the Catawbas, of *24,910,71 is chargeable upon the bank of the State, which is required by the various Acts authorizing thoss debts, to pay the interests, and redeem the principal amounts, as they fall due.
