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. Pupils will be received
at any period of the session and charged according
ly ; but no deduction will be made to those who
leave before the end of a session. . ..
Passage can he had in the Sparianburg Stage
Columbia, to the Springs.
..""?'Ail letters of application must be directed to the
subscribrr at Columhia, until the New Year ? after
that time, at the Springs.

I I 'to wf^eom mOT^OT^^^^Hf^rinc reifse in the
Engineer Corp3, ond for a re-organization of
..the Topographical.Corps, submitted to you in
|iny last annual jnessage, derive additional
gBtrength from the great embarrassments ex
jfcerienc d during, the present year, in those
branches of t he service, and under winch they
fWe now suffering, ^tveral of the most im
portant surveys and const ructions directed by
'acent laws, have been suspended ia^conse

i The ^IflTfibservations may be applied

. .^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,
