Tho remainder of tho debt, (not tnclud'tii throe hundred- and ten t lions ind dollar ('8110,000) already provided for by Act ? 21st September last, authorizing its futldinj. i.s rodoomablc from 1875 to 1800. Tho interest on thc whole (except the Ki) Lom,) is provided for (if the holders of tl soeurittes will consent to fund it.) up to tl Isi d iv of Jaf?iry, ?868, hy which time it hoped tho Stato wiil bc in n condition 1 promptly pay interest as il fills due. Tl statement of the Comptroller Douerai, slim ing the debt and tho several periods when f ills due, is herewith communicated, It is, however, eminently proper that son financial scheme should bo now adopted l prepare tho State to meet tho principal of tl debt as it falls due. If tho interest is regula ly paid on tho debt, one hundred thousati dollar? annually sot apart as a sinking fun for twenty years, invested in safe securities, yielding six per cent, per annum, the prinei- i ? pal being further increased by the investment i , of the interest annually accruing, will ?COU mu?ate thc sum of three millions eight hun dred and ninety-nine thousand three hundred and twelve dollars, which will be nearly adc- ' ipunte to thc payment of thc entire debt then duo, and I recommend that proper legislation I be adopted at the present session to inaugu rate this scheme. Under thc Act of September 21st, already referred to, provision was made to fund the interest on stocks issued Under authority of the Act of 18(33; to oontitiuo the construction of the new State House. Thc whole amount issued w is twenty-four thousand eight, hun dred and twenty dollars (324,820). Tho is sn.; was not made until so.no time during the year ISlil, when there was a heavy deprecia ? lion of thc currency, and when labor and tn? ' t?ri.ds worein a corresponding d'grce appro j oiatCtl. Knur hundred limns ?nd dol?ais were : is med in 180.', under authority of thc Act of 18(11, wi e:i labor ami matt ri?l bad apprecia ted very little, lu my Proclamation I ex j copied th '.sc two issues front immediate fund : ing until the (lem ?al Assembly met and de termined whether these stocks shou'd I o scaled j to th i real value received by the State foi' I thom when issued. Tim Convention adopted a rule for the government of transactions be ? tween individuals during this tioio which was just and honest, tutti no reason is perceived 1 why tho same rule should not be applied in j trans ??tions between thc State and i ts credit j 018. If tho Honorai Asse ..b?y should determine to scale these stocks of cither or both issues, '. a commission must be appointed to lix tho rates, and thc interest can be then computed 'accordingly. Should tho General Assembly j take no action upon this subject during tho ; present session, the funding will be executed in aon fortuit y to the provisions of tho Act aforesaid. T?R PKXlf KXTIAHV. Pursuant to thc provisions of tho Act of the late extra session, to establish a Peniten tiary, L appointed .Messrs. William Gregg, of of IMgclield, William Li, Robertson, of Fair lid.I, and Archibald Cameron, of (marleston, " Commissioners of tho Penitentiary" '. to select and procure a silo and to erect a suita ble, temporary enclosure mid toniporary cells." They have performed tilt! duly of selecting and procuring tho site, and have ordered tho work on tho c-'lls to commence. I submit to you herewith their report, together with the ni ins, estimates lind drawings of tho entire establishment, prepared hy Capt. T. 15. hoe, the lOnginocr and Architect.

A trick loss fha n half a milo, nearly at grade will connect the building with the Green viii?

The water now run ning through thoo ?nat will furnish all the mo tivu power that will bo needed for many years Its accessibility fr mi every part of tho Stat? by railroad, abd the facilities thereby alford ci for tho transportation of prisoners, provision; and materials, and for shipping the supplie manufactured, make it a most admirable am advantageous location.

Ho was furnished with a certified copy of tl resolution, duly authenticated, and tiled it tho Department of thc Interior. Prom communication addressed to moby the Ho (,). II. Drowning, Secret a ry of the Interior, copy of which is herewith communicated, j will bo seen that ho declines to issue tl scrip untill ibo. L?gislature accepts by At Ibo donation in conformity to the provisio ol' tho law of tho Congress of the Unit Stales, making the grant. No time should lost in securing this inuniiioent donation thc cause of education and scienco, ?nfl roc30tuond that an Act be passed for that pi post. This step will certainly bo accepted ; a compliance with all tho requirements of t j Congressional law. In sonic of tho Northern States, tho fu thus raised has been used in establish i schools for touching the branches required Ant of Congress, in existing Colleges n j Universities; mid if this policy should co mond itself to your approval, tho Agricultural and mechanic;.il features of tho ('ollego nmy he engrafted ou the University of Soil th Caroli na, and snvo tho Statu till expense fur hinds mid buildings required to be furnished by it. Tho buildings of the Uuivosity ure commodi ous enough to accoinuiuduto all .students (hut may desire to matriculate, and tho hinds adja cent to and owned by the College will famish sulnuiont land fur uti experimental farm. It is very important, if tito donation ho accepted, that such legislation shall bo adopted at tho present session, us will make it available, in depondolitly of, or in conjunction with the University. i'll ti SOUTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY. Was organized early in Junmiry last, and has now about sixty-five students, but. its mun ber ol' matriculates hat} not been equal to the expectation oi\its friends. The Act of last December, establishing au Univorsisy, requir 08 further amendment, by providing for Med ical and IJUW Schools ?t> a part of the general sy?,tomof Univcsity cd nea lion. Many of tho young men who go lo the. University of other Si ues, to proscenio t|ictr studio?) in these pro fessions, would willingly avail themselves of tho opportunity, if offered, of pursuing them here. Willi CHIC Professor of Daw, and two Profo-omr? in thu Medical School.-tn conjuno tion with thc Professor of Chumistry already there, these schools could bo pul into compl?te und successful operation, and the hope nullit then bc reasonably entertained that tho milli. ber of .students would bo largely increased. The Hoard of Trustees, fur reasons which were, doubtless, sit (?sf; otory to them, declined, in May l ist, to lill the chair of Modern Lan guages. This important branch of modern education should not longer go unprovided for, and tho Trustees will, doubtless, lill tho vacant chair at their annual meeting in De cember. Thc Institution, us organized du ring tho present year, though by law un Uni versity," has been practically nothing more than the Colleg) revived. No new brunches have been taught, and SO long as provision is not made for touching thc modern languages, ami for organizing Mcdic.il and Daw Schools .so long will thc youth of the Stale see!; oilier institutions, where these . todies may be pros edited. Until tho University can bc made to merit the patronage of the State, by en larged facilities for acquiring knowledge in science, languages, und tho learned profes sions, its friends cannot expect to command a guncial public patronage to sustain it. Thc Hoard nf Trustees now numbers near ly forty members. This Dutkes it a very nu wieldly budy.' Its numbers destroy till sense of individual responsibility tho manage ment ot' the ulfa i rs ol' tho University. Near ly one half of thc Hoard are Trust?es e.r. <>/? Ju in, and, with rare exceptions, these/..< i\(firiv members constitute, by reason ol' otliciul en gagements which oall thom to Columbia in May and December, the majority who attend its session, lt was found nearly impossible to secure the attendance of ti qumum. (one half of the Hoard,) and you provided by law at the last session, that nine should constitute a quorum in a Hoard of thirty-nine m embers A smaller body would realize more fully theil responsibility to the State for the proper mail iigemcnt of Hs principal educational iustitu lion. L therefore recommend that thu Houri bc reduced to seven members, and appoint ct in such manlier as the (jencrai Assembly, ii its wisdom, may direct. 1'UllCHASti t)K CORN. Pursuant to thc resolution of 21st Septem ber last, passed by the Oe ll end Assembly, i appointed Col. I). Wyatt Aiken, Agent ol' lin Stat!1, lo make purchases of corn. Ilaviu? satisfied himself fully thal the double rest rio lion i nposed in the resolution rendered il im possible to elfoet purchases, he declined tlc appointment. I concurred fully iii lita corie!il sion, that (he double restriction rendered th? whole scheme nugatory, und I have not , there fore, appointed aunt ber Agent. Thc: r?solu (iou riuKt'erti that three hundred ihousam dollars of bonds should purchase and dclive in thc State three hundred thousand bushel; of Corn. It, is reasonably certain that tin bonds could m>t have been sold for more thai seventy cents to the dollar, and corn could no be purchased, in any market, and delivered at one dollar per bushel. Tho correspondons between Col. Aiken and myself is hercwitl communicated. The grain crop of the State has been gath ercd and you are better prepared now, thai at the extra session, to determine tho delicien ey, and what will be needed to supply tho ah solute wants of thc poor. When you hav fixed the amount, the grave question arise! how are you to supply I he funds to purchas il. The feverish .and ll use! I led condition ? public affairs has not tended to appreciate th credit of tho Southern Stiles; and if thc pin chase of n large amount of breadstuff*, li distribution milong the poor is lo bc clTecte by the salo of State bonds, it jun only be ai complished al a ruinous discount. ThuqilCi tim is earnestly commended tumour grave; deliberation. Tho finn of Hrowuo & Sohirtnor, grain me chants of Charleston and Columbia, have mad a proposition to furnish corn, and have roques cd mo to lay it before you. They propose tba if the State shall advance to thom twenty liv thousand dollars, which they will give ii| proved security lo refund, they will engage l fn misil sixty thousand bushels of corn pi 1 month, to bc sold at actual cost, with tran portatimi am] two und-one-half per cent, con missions added, to tho citizens of the Stat invoices to bo submitted to Commissioners, -r the com to bo subject to inspection by tl commissioners or byan agent. Il ft largi amount should bc needed monthly, that latg Amount will be furnished, upon condition th thc State will make ii pro nita increase of tl loan. Tho ninney loaned is to bo returned I soon ns tho contraot terminates, lt is propost hy those gentlemen to establish depots for tl s ile of the corn in Charleston, Columbia and Marion, from which points it limy be readily distributed to every ?oction of thc State. . Thc members of thc firm arc enterprising and trust worthy, mid, if such a contract is awarded them, they will doubtless fulOl its stipulations with fidelity. If th? necessities of the State .should require thc importation of one million of bushels, to supply the wants of those who inufjt buy and are able to pay, the saving to tho people of thc State, by such nu arrange ment, would not fall .short of two ii und red thousand dollars. I have been informed tbat a proposition of thc same sort will be submitted to you by li ll. Hiker, a ?rain merchant of Charleston, i who can furnish you with satisfactory testimo nials of integrity and business capacity. Thone plans for supplying with corn too whole pop ulation, including thc Hoards uf Commission ers of thc Poor, who will be compelled to pro vide for a larg? number of indigent persons, at a profit of only two-and-a-half per cent, to thc contractor, or cost and expenses, arc com mended to your favorable consideration. Tlll? I'lX'UNI ARV I1ISTUKS8 Ol? Tl IK I'KOI'I.R or TUR ST A TR. j The short crops of grain and cotton causes \ the indebted noss of the people to press heavily on them. This State ?if things imposes oil CV ? cry generous creditor the duty of m dung as j liberal compromises with bis debtors as bc cali admit without, pecuniary ruin. If lie has been j fortunate in escaping thc general wreck, he should cheerfully lend a helping baud to bis I lc.:S fortunate neighbor who is still struggling in a sea of debt, Legislation consistent with the Constitution and the genera) interest of the community may bc adopted, which will great lievc the public. I reiterate my re.eominonda tion made nt the extra session, that imprison ment for debt be abolished, except in cases of fraud, nilli when a debtor is it bout remov? Mt; ; bis person or property without the limits of the State, that, the insolvent laws bc so ex tended that a debtor may. by petition, en giv ing three mouths' notice to all his creditors, retjuiro them to come in and prove their de mands, and upon his surrendering Ins entire effects for their benefit, that they be perpetn ally barred from ever again pi oom tiing against him in thc Courts of this State, ?md that ill all 0 iSCS where a di fend.nit is sin d and makes no defence to thc action, no costs shall be taxed against him. Persons in SM*' Juris can now compromise with their debtors, and often lind il to their interest to do so, but such as occupy a fidu ciary position at e restrained by tho stringency of legal rules; and not being authorized to compound with creditors, they frequently lose th centirc debt. lt is sound pulley to modify these rules, so ns to allow them to compound the demands they hold against debtors, biking care lo guard against fraud or ill faith on their part. I invite your attention to the propriety of passing a homestead law, nod id' oxton ling the ? value of ai tides exempt from levy anti sale, ' fur the head of euell family. Most of the ' States have made much more liber.il mel hu 1 mane provisions th in South Carolina for guard ing the families of thc unfortunate am) im provident debtors against being cast out upon j the world, houseless mid breadlos. The de cisions bf some of thc S ta to Courts have af firmed tho constitutional power of their Legis 1 lannes to enact laws increasing the oxetnp I lions from levy and sale, even upon the ante ! c?dent debts, lt is not by any means clear that you arc precluded from enacting such a 1 iw, either by precedent, reason, justice, or thc Constitution.
