useful institutions, which prevail in every
state in tire Union except this, would be
lbuad valuable auxiliaries in the administration
of justice, and in the management j
of the police of the districts. If adopted,
the duties now performed by the Ordina- j

to these tribuuals. They should he vested
with jurisdiction to a limited amount in
cases of contracts, and misdemeanors.?
And all the powers now exercised by the
commissioners of the roads, the poor, and
public buildings, should be vested in them.
The trial by jury, is justly esteemed ahiongst
us. as one of the birthrights of freemen.
and is by our constitution, jealously
guarded against invasion. It is a strong
defence against usurpation or oppression
in public prosecutions; and in the decision
of private rights usually adonis a tribunal
impartial, and at the same time imbued
with a useful portion of the neighborhood
feeling and intelligence. But, in proportion

Its necessary tendency, is to deviations
front that exact uniformity of decision,
which, iu like circumstances, would render
to every one the like measure of justice.
and .us far as practicable, without undue
restraints those deviations should be
circumscribed. Whether this injurious
tendency may not be increased by t lie various
habits and tempers of various Judges,
and how far, if at all, it would be well to
control the discretion of the Judges, in
their summing up of facts to Junes, are
questions left to your wisdom to determine.
So, also, is the question, whether it inexpedient
to attempt any means more c(? "tual,
than the practice in appeals, t ? correct
the errors, which under the l>C:>t circumstances,
juries often commit, in matters
of mixed law and fact; or, sometimes,
even in pure matters of facts committed to
them. Our provision as to the drawing of
juries, seem well adapted to guard against
the partiality of summoning officers, and
to secure a panel above suspicion; but it
still sometimes hannens, that a partv is
obliged to submit his ease to jurymen from!
one or more of whom, ho lias reasons f >r
apprehending injustice, although ho can
make no challenge, upon legal ground,
and a verdict is rendered, which \v ould
have heen materially altered,by the change
?>f one, or at most of two jurymen, from
which all relief by appeal, is hopeless.?
Whether, without any material change in
the practice of our courts, the right might
not be given to every party litigant, to
strike without cause, one or more of the
jurymen from the list offered liiin, I also
^.present, as a question for your considera
tion, with a belief on my part, that such aright,
might be conferred with great advantage.

The public executions of capital offenders,
is an exhibition, which is believed to
exert an injurious influence upon the
minds and morals of the people. The
terrors, with which such scenes should
strike the beholder, is often converted into
sympathy for tlie supposed sufferer,
whose exit has sometimes the appearahce
of a sort of triumph utterly inconsistent
with the horror, which should be inspired i
by the crime. In all cases, the imagina- J
lion would invest the dread sanction of the :
law, with a horror, not felt in witnessing i
the infliction. The heart which would be
hardened by the sight, might be subdued,
bv the consideration of the fact known to j
occur, but hidden and clothed in the so j
lemnity of darkness and privacy; and, instead
of the wicked suggestions and brutal j
excesses, which often attend an ! result i
iVom public spectacles of suffering, ami |
]>ul>lic discnssiiMis of the sufferer's mis-'
deeds, good influences might attend thoj
calm reflections which would follow the]
, certainty of the offender's being rut ofl'i
v ithout sympathy or support, This is j
perhaps especially true, in the case of aj
to::ce, surrounded as lie generally is, by his !
fellow slaves. 1 therefore suggest the pro-'
priely of all executions being conducted;
in some private place, and in the presence
I of such persons only as the law shall de-j
' signato.

Tiif. Instructions.?The resolution in-1
troduced into the Senate by Mr. Cue aie.'
which were adopted by that body on liie
Sth, passed the House of Representatives
yesterday.
These res i]nitons instruct Messrs. While
and Foster to vote against a National
Rank and in favor of the Independent
Treasury- to vote nirainst the Gag Bill
that they voted for last session, and every
other bill iike it?to vote against Clay's
land bill, and t<? vote for the reduction of
lite price of tlii! public lands?to vote for
a repeal of the duty on salt?and, in sli ;rf,
to reflect the opinions and views of the
General Assembly of Tennessee, which
'doth heartily approve the lending inc isures
and policy of the administrations of
Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren."
A nil our .Senators are further instructed to
support, in goo I faith, Mr. Van Hurt-it's
administration.
Upon the oflicial receipt of those instructions
we feel authorized to state that
Mr. Kust"r, who is now at Nashville,
will forthwith resign, according to his
pledges made interior to the late election.
Judge White has probably been persuaded
by his fatal adviser, Mr, Bell,
(who passed through Knoxvillc a few days
since.) ;o priced to Washington and take
his seal in the Senate as if no instructions
were to emanate from the Legislature?
to receive the instructions there, and to
make their receipt an occasion for a flash-;
ing electioneering speech against the Administration.
If this be the arrangement,!
the Judge wi'l pocket a snug little sum of
tlie public money drawn out of the Treasur>
in the form of mileage, which wcj
insist thai the " Whigs" shall carry to the
account of " useless expenditures."
Judge White will resign. He so stated
to a friend in a h tter read to the House by
Mr. Jacobs the other day. And we can
scarcely believe the rumor that he in-:
tends to go ro Washington is true?for he
must know, before he starts, that lie Joes
not intend (in the language of the resolu- ,
tions) to ''support the Administration in,
good faith."

The Eastport (.Me.) Sentinel, a Federal!
paper, in giving- an account of the late!
election in Ohio, says:
" We wish the elections were over: we J
are tired of recording Loco Foco victo-1
t ies, which, as chroniclers of the events
that transpire in the political world, we
have of late been compelled to do upon
the reception of election news from almost
every State where elections have |
been held."

Moini.n.?The editor of the Mobile!
Advertiser, noticing some of the proceedings
in that city, makes the following
touching allusion to the sufferings which
have been indtired by those who could
not llcc awnv from the epidemic:
< i n_.t
i/Vw communities nave ever ueeu euueu
I to s 11 flTer as \vc have suffered. Pestilence
j ami death have been in our midst, and
have done their work. Most of our citizens
tied from before the destroyer, and
left the late of the city in the hands of a
few. Of these a portion have been prostrated
by sickness, and the remainder
were borne down with the fatigue consequent
upon their assiduities to the sick
land <lying# Upwards of live hundred of
their fellow citizens had been swept away,
| and consigned to the house appointed for
jail living?their associates, their bosom
I friend, their dearest companions, one of
tcr another had fallen all around them?
they were discouraged, sorrowful, dispirited,
and*sick at heart. At tliis time, this'
' ?. -J
peculiar lime, when the city was defence-j
less, and the energies of her citizens bro-1
ken and prostrate, the demon iuccndiar-!
ism, with torch in hand, appeared in our'
midst! In the stillness of the midnight
hour, the torch is applied?anil behold our
city is wrapped in flames! Jiight after'
night, in constant succession, we were
aroused from our slumbers by the midnight
alarm bell, and the startling cry of
fire! There was no security?no safety.'
Every one felt, when lie laid his head upon
his pillow at night, that should he sleep,
the roof over his head might be enveloped
in flames before the morning dawn.?
All knew these horrid fires to be the work
of incendiaries?of monsters, who were'
of us, among us, in our very midst. Under
such circumstances, is it to be won-'

uncnntrolable excitement prevailed? It
could not be otherwise. The tact is, our,
citizens were driven almost to a state of
desperation.
Manufacture of Silk.?The following
is extracted from an interesting article
in the 32d volume of the Cabinet Cyclo-j
pedia, on the origin, progressive improve- j
ment, and present stale of the Silk manu-j
facture.
"The quantity of silk usedpn England;
alone amounts in each year to more thanj
four millions of pounds weight, tor tne
production of which myriads upon myriads
of insects are required. Fourteen
thousand millions of animated creatures
annually live and die to supply this little?
corner of the world with an article of '
luxury! If astonishment be excited at 1
this fact, let us extend our view into Chi- (
na, and survey the dense population of ]
its widely spread region, whose inhabitants,
from the emperor on his throne to (
the peasant in his lowly hut, are indebted |
for their clothing to the labors of the silk
worm. The imagination, fatigued with 1
the flight, is lost and bewildered in con- ,

every successive year spin their slemlor :
threads for the service of man. J
"When newly hatched, 5-1,526 silk
worms, are upon an average, required to i
make up the ounce After the first casting
of the skin. 3340 worms are found to !
have this weigrtt. After the second change <
? ?
610 weigh an ounce. In the week passed
between the second and third ages, the ,
number of insects required to make up ,
the same weight decrease to 145. During ,
the fourth age a similar rale of decrease (
is maintained; 35 worms now weigh an
ounce. The filth age of I he caterpillar
comprises nearly a third part o! its brief
existence, and has been described by an '
enthusiastic wrietr on the subject, as the ]
happiest period of its life, during which
it increases rapidly in size, and prepares 1
and secretes the materia! it is about to

six of them make up the weight of an 1

weeks, the insect has multiplied its bulk 1

Rkmarkaiile Providence.?There was
a very remarkable circumstance transpired
a few weeks since, in Castle Woods,
liiissel county, Virginia. A lad about
ten or twelve years of age, by the name
of Samuel Skoan, who was supposed to
have been laboring, for some time, under
partial derangement, went to a precipice
in the neighborhood of iMaj. James Dickenson's,
and after some supposed preparation,
leaped off I, in company with
Mr. Easterly, visited the place on yesterday,
Sept. 24, and a very rugged place it
is. There were three or four other lads
standing near the base of the precipice
when Samuel made his leap; one of them
informed me that he was standing within
twelve or fifteen feet of where he fell.?
There is a rock at the lop of the cliff,
which is elevated some two or three feet
above the main rock. They say, that
upon looking up they saw him standing
on the top of the elevated rock; he then
asked them if that was a good place to
jump; one of them answered that if he

place. Immediately and unexpectedly lie
made the leap, and went clear of the rock,
with the exception of his feet having
struck against a rock which projected out
some feet fiom the main body of the rock,
which gave him a turn, and the}- saw that
he turned over two or three times before
he fell to the earth. There lies at the base
of the precipice the trunk of a sugar mapic,
which is considerably decayed, and
lies about three feet from the surface; this
he fell upon and broke it short oil'. We
measured the distance from the top of the
rock to where lie struck the log, which is
about (50 feet. Dr. Easterly was called
upon in a short time to visit him, and reported
him but slightly injured. He is
now well, and I conversed with his mother,
who states that his health is at least
as good, if not better, than heretofore.

? ?rDarkness
at Quebec.?The Quebec
Canadian statesthat on the forenoon of the
ISth of October, darkness settled upon
that city, which rendered the use of candles
necessary for several hours in the
forenoon. The wind blew from the west.
The amosphcre was moist. The same
phenomenon occurred on the 17th October,
1834, and on the 11th October, 1785.
The present number of students in the
diflbrent departments of Yale College is
about six hundred and fifty. A greater
number than ert any former period.
' From the Army ami Navy Chrouicle, for Nov.
. Florida War.?The season for active
operations having returned, and the public
mind, in the army as well as out of it
being somewhat agitated bv the contradictory
nature of the reports in circulation
we have made inquiry that we might in
form our readers what measures were con
templated in the approaching campaign
Gen. Taylor, by the zealous and intel
ligent discharge of his duties, having giv
C CT ' OCT
en satisfaction the Department will con
tinuc in command.
The troops now in Florida are the thin
regiment of artillery, sixth and sevenll
regiments of infantry. The third artillery
having been much reduced will be sent tc
onrl Ko VdllAr nrJ * tii#? fiiv
Hit? UUlUly UJ1U uv iVI4V? ?'T UIV 1U./
artillery, which lias been recruited and i:
now full. The companies of the secont
dragoons that arrived at New York in the
spring being now full also, will return tc
Florida; and the regiments of infantry wil
remain.
It is intended to drive the enemy out oj
the settlements by occupying the country
within and north of a line drawn from
Pilatka>to the north of the Withlacoochee
includiug Fort King, thence along the
western coast to the Appalachicola; ant
by maintaining posts as low down as the
mouth of the Withlacoochee. The inhabitants
will be armed, and the defence
of their firesides and neighborhoods con
tided to them, with such assistance from
the regulars as occasion may call for.?
The posts on the Atlantic coast and al
TainDa Bav will be continncd, with suck
others as the commanding General may
find expedient.
Experience having mournfully proved
the impracticability of forcing the Indians
from their swamps and hammocks, sc
familiar to them but inaccessible to us, nc
further attempts will at present be made:
leaving time and the gradual spread of the
settlements the occomplishment of an object
unattainable by arms.
The reports so extensively circulated,
of conferences between the Secretary ol
War and Major Generals Macomb an 1
Scott, are entirely without foundation? no
such conferences having been held.?
Equally unfounded is that of sending
teem thousand troops to Florida; if all
our regulars, now out. of the territory,
were taken from their present station-,
they would not amount to the number
named. The northern, northwestern and
south western frontiers are quite as mucli
exposed, and stand as much in need ol
defence, as does the territory of Florida,
There has been no design entertained heretofore
of sending tire eighth infantry tr
Florida, its presence being considered essentia!
to th'o maintenanee of neutrality
on the borders of Canada. Th.c 4th ar
tillory will he stationed between Cleveland
Ohio, and Fort Gratiot; and the second
artillery will ho divided between Fori
Xiagara and Buffalo.
It is believed that some additional smal
vessels will he built or purchased, ant!
sent to the coast of Florida, to proven'
depredations by the Indians upon wrecked
vessels and their crews.
Connected with the foregoing remarks
a retrospect of recent events in Florid*
will not he inappropriate.
During the last session of Congress ar
appropriation of 85000 was ma?1e 'ibi
the purpose of holding a treaty with t!u
Seminole Indians." In virtue of that ap
propriation General Macomb was sent, u
Florida; and bcln'i the General in Chic
of the army, it was thought that his rani
would have more weight and influence
with the Indians than a civilian conk
have. General M. held conferences will
some of the chiefs, and finally entered in
to an agreement (there was no writtei
treati/) Cliito Tustenuggee, the acknowl
" ? ? n _ _
edged successor ot Arpmcat, or soan
Jones; (the latter, it is understood, ha:
never held or exercised any military com
mand, but stands in the light of a conn
seller among his tribe.) One of the stipu
lalions of this agreement was the cstab
lishmcnt of a trading post, near the moutl
of the Synabcl river. The mission o
Col. Ilarney, to cany into effect this sti
pulation, the surprise of his party, tlx
massacre of a portion and the escape o
the rest, are familiar to all. Sam Jonci
and his tribh were at the time in the vi
cinify of Fort Lauderdale, distant abou
100 miles, and have not only denied ai
participation in or knowledge cf the mas
sacre, but up to the latest advices continix
to manifest a neutral disposition aixl at
intention to abide by the agreement madi
with Gen. Macomb.
The approaching campaign then wil
Mortibn mr?rn of a defensive than offensivi
character, as it will be confined to driving
the Indians from the settled portions o
Florida, where they have committed dc
predations almost without check. It hav
ingbecn found impossible to force the In
dians from their fastnesses, any furthe.
attempt to effect that object would onh
be attended with a needless sacrifice o
life and money.
These remarks were prepared for the C'hro
niele of October 2t; but since they were written
information has been received which rendcisit in
expedient to withdraw the 1st artillery at preset!
from the Canada frontier. The third will therefor
remain in Florida, until the exigencies ot thc^er
vice .it other noiuts will allow of d reliev.itiiegb f?
