Tho idea seems to mo preposterous in the ex treme. To say that eight men shall have full power to settle all disputes, of indebtedness be iweon parties, when according to law it. always' :ook twelve, besides one or. two Lawyers and a Judge, >kc. But it seems to be based upon re iponsibHity I ask how that is to be done? Where a the injured party to got redress? Perhaps it irill bo said by law. Then if that be the ease, vhero is the necessity of such a course, as prc cribed. To say the least of it, it is the most ' dropliost idea imoginablo to a thinking mind. . I am in favor of compromises between all par ios,.whore the debtor is sot actually able to pay j ill his indebtedness. But for mc, or the public, o baug np our opinions and right in tho premises | p j UK', eight mon; and they too perhaps already < vurped into the idea of repudiation, or have no i norry towards tho..poor, the fatherless, or thc 1 vi do-.7. ' 1 moko no allusion, whatever to those | :igbt persona mentioned in the. proposed plan, is to. their personal. character, fori know: the ', nost of thom, and I esteem them, as my best ' 'rienda. , But I do abhor tbo idea to tho greatest degree. , [ dont suppose that half of theso men would ac- j :ept tho offer. I would bo . greatly disappointed f they did. I would like to know the mover of 1 hif groat and wonderful plan of settlements. It ia? occupied tho minds of our greatest and wisest nen for months past, to deviso some mo'bod thereby some just and reasonable settlement night bo mode. It ia os though somo new light ias sprung up on tho subjeot. I think it best, it least for tho present, to let things take their :ourso. There aro hundreds of men now hoping that tho Legislature will do something in their favor, and this keeps them from -paying 'their debts. Why, sir, monaro gmo almost crazy on thc Bubjects. Thry forgot that thoy ever owed a just debt. Shirking all tho time, to keep from pay ing, what they are actunlly able to pay. I hope all good and honest peoplo will not sign tho pe tition at Messrs. FRAZIER ? SANDER'S Storo. I further have moro confidence in tho Legislatura than to recommend such a plan. OCEOLA. Shall Convicts be Taught the Mechan ic Arts? The Macon (Ga-) Citizen has a very sensi ble editorial on this subject, io which the question is tnken that " no class of the com munity should have an ovil fastened upon them from which other classes are exempt ed." In other wordy lhere is no reason why the Penitentiary .convicts 6hould be taught the mechanic arts, while the learned profes sions are not taught in that institution. A physician or a luvryer would object tb associ ate with one of either of these professions who bad received his education'- ja the peni tentiary, and this they would have a right to do. Why should not the mechanic have the same objectiou with as much reason ? What applies to the ono class in this respect mast apply equally to the other. There are other modes of labor which can be applied to tho convicts besides the mechanic arts, and the learned professions, and, therefore ought to be applied. We are pleased to notice that the views of the Penitentiary Committee of thc Legislature, in their late Report, coincide with ours ; and we may ?ay with the Cit izen : No class of the corr mity should have an evil fastened upon t'.em from which other classes are exempted. Besides, in the present state of the coun try, every possible . development and encour agement should be given to the mechanical, and manufacturing interests of the State, in stead of throwing odium upon them, by plac ing felons On tho same platform with honest men. The recommendations of the commissioners are good. The convicts should be employed in the rock quarries, iron, lime, and coal' minesj working on public improvements, at servile labor, as the most useful to the Slate and least prejudicial to those engaged in hon orable industrial pursuits-and we hope the. Legislature will adopt their suggestions. ?&- A band of regulators ban been organized in Marion County, Ky. They hare hung three mon, and oth?rs ara prUoucra io their hands.' ' ..

DISTRESS IN MISSISSIPPI.-A correspondent of the Memphis Avalanche sta .es that there are twenty thousand dependent orphans and widows in Mississippi who need immediate re lief. The moro favored classe* in the State, are doing what they eau to relieve the help less sufferers ; but the sad failure in the crops renders adequate relief at home impractica ble. Aid from abroad is therefore, indispen sable. The Orphans' Home of the State of Mississippi, located at Lauderdale Springs, is doing a noble work for the poor sufferers. But more than two hundred applications havo been made already for admittance to the " Home" whose cases have been postponed fyr want of means to feed them. An earnest appeal is made for assistance, in porting and extending the " Home," and it is certain that thc people of Memphis, who have the means, wili not be slow in giving mate rial aid. To OLO CAVALRYMEN".-A young man from the country, who visited Cleveland, Ohio, the other day in search of employment, wan asked by a man to whom he applied if he could ride horseback, and eagerly repticd in tho affirmative. His prospective patrou told him he had an opening for a young man-a business that necessitated a great deal of traveling. The applicant declared that he should like nothing better thar, to travel for a living, and a bargain was soon struck be tween the two. But he was somewhat cha grined at finding that the business consisted in riding a blind and infirm old horse, in a circular track, for. the laudable purpose of grinding tan bark. He declined the proposi tion. _ ^ _ PRECOCIOUS.-An urchin, leading a small dog along tho streets the other day, was ac costed by a gentleman as follows : 1 Well, my son, what is your dog's name ?"
