: J ENCMRAGEMENT FOR POOR BOYS.
Among those who formed a part of the
settlement during the revolutionary strug
gle, was a poor widow, who havmg bui ed
her husband, was left in poverty, with the
task,upon her bonds of rearing three sons,
0 r theso tho two oldest ere long, fell in the
cause or their country, and she struggled
on with', tho youngest as best Bho
After tho' fall of Charleston, and the disas-
Uous defeat of Col. Buford of Virgima, by
Tarleton, permission was given to some
four or five American females to carry
necessaries and provisions, and administer
some relief, to. the prisoners confinedon
board the prison ship and in the jmL of
Charleston. This widow was ono of the
volunteers on this errand of mercy. She
was admitted within the city, and braving,
the horrors of pestilenco, employed herself]
to the extent of her humble means, in al
leviating the deplorable sufferings ol her
C9 She ry knew what she had to encounter
before she went; but, notwithstanding,
went bravely on. Her message of human
ity having boen fulfilled, she left Charles-,

ure to the pestilential atmosphere she had |
been obliged to breathe, had planted in,
her system the seeds of. fatal disease, and,
ero she reached her home, she sank under
an nttack of prison fover, a. bravo martyr j
to the cause of humanity and patriotism.
That dying mother, who now rests in the
linkhown grave, thus left her only son, the
tie survivor of this family, to the world s]
charity; but little did she dream as death ,
closed lier eyes, the future of that orphan
boy That son became tho President of
this free Republic, for that widow was the
mother of Andrew Jackson.

STATE TREASURER'S REPORT.
To the Senate and House of Rewescnta r
tives of the Commonwealth of Penn'a.
Gentlemen :—Agreeably to tbo act of
16th of Match, 1832, 1 submit to your
Honorable bodies this, my annual report,
on tho finances of tho Commonwcalt i,
being for the year ending the 30tb day of
November 1852. The tables which will
be found hereto appended, show, in tlio
usual form the revenue and expenditures,
the cstitaates, the montldy statements, and
statements relative to tax on real and per
sonal property, relief notes,balance of ap
propriation and public debt. Front these |
it will be seen that the whole amount or
receipts, for tho year, was seven millions |
seven hundred and sixteen thousand five
hundred and fifty-two dollars and seven
teen cents, (7,716,552 17.) and tha of
the payments six millions eight hundred
and ei"lity two thousand six hundred and
eleven dollars, (0,882,011.)
As this representation of the facts non -
ever might in some degree convey an cr-j
roneous impression as to the true state oi
our finances, it is proper to remark that a
large portion both of ihe receipts and ex
penditure, is of an extraordinary charac
ter, being loans, premiums on loans, sales
of public property, extension und improvo* (
monts of the public works, &c. Divested j
of these items, tho recoipts and expendi
tures may be stated as follows, viz .
Receipts at the Treasury from permanent
sources of revenue du n ti|theyeare n d
ing Nov. 30, 1852. §4,428,096 .3
Pav ments at the Treasury as
applied to objects of a per.
manent character during
the same time. 3,879,6<3 30
Expenses of permanent rev
•enueover permanent ex
penditures. .. u 48,4 j- 2
Whilst it thus appears that the ordinary
and permanent revenue has been more
than adequate to the ordinary support ol
the government during the past year,the ap
propriation* for extraordinary purposes be
vend the loans at tho last .session of the
Legislature, and paid out of the Treasury
proper, have fully.absorbed this excess.-
The "ratifying fact-noverthless, is present
ed that tho resources of the Treasury nro
no longer insufficient to sustain the plight
cd faith of the Commonwealth, but that,
with proper economy and prudent legisla
tion, a few years only will have elapsed
till our public debt will be, if not number
ed among the things that were, greatly re
duced, and our people relieved from the
burtlien of taxation. .. , .
Although an apparent available balance
of §1,382,611 was in the treasury at the
close of the fiscal year, yet the same is not
at all applicable to the payment of the in
terest on the funded debt, falling due on
the,lst day of Februarynext. The sum of
§711,573 28 being part'’J. lhe ■
thorizfld by the act of 4th May, 1852,, for
the redemption of the over due loans ol the
Commonwealth, there remained an availa
ble balance for interest purposes of but
8671,037 72. In my reportoflpst year,
I found it necessary to ask for the passage
of a law authorizing a special loan to meet,
the February interest. It became neces
sary to make the loan thus authorized,.and ,
it cost the State seven thousand two liun-,
dred and three dollar* and thirty-five cts
T am entirely confident that tho interest,
next can bo paid without resorting to a
the five millions’ loan authorized by
the act of 4th May, 1852, for the redemp
tion of the over duo loans, the sum o
three millions five hundred and ten thou
sand dollars had been negotiated upto he
close or the fiscal year. -Since then the
balance of said loan has been taken, ma
king up the full amount. The su mof one
hundred thousand dollars of this loan,
bearing 4 per cent, interest, was taken at
W by tho bank of Northern Liberties
E the sum of four millions nine hundred
thousand dollars, bearing f P" “g'j
interest, at premiums, ranging from 103
pbr cotitum to five per centum, as follpws,

Agreeably to the 103 d section of the act
of 4th May, 1852, notice was duly given
to tho holders of the loans and domestic J
creditors’ scrip, which have iailen due, to
present their certificates for payment, and
that the interest on the same, from sixty
days thereafter,would cease to be allowed
The amount redeemed up to tho closing o
the financial year was as follows :
Of 6 pdr cent loans. 00
Of 5 per cent loarts. OO
■ Interest certificates, scrip &c. 149,071 JU
81,333,42(5 75
As a very targe portion of these loans is
held in • Europe, some considerable time
may elapse before the certificates reach
the Treasury for redemption.
The bonds issued in pursuance ot tnc
act creating the aforesaid loan, have at
tached to them coupons, or certificates for
interest, and whilst the market price or the
ordinary bonds does not exceed their par
value, the forrnor commands a handsome
premium/ This is, in a great measure,
there can be no doubt, owing to the facili
ty with which they can be disposed ot,
requiring no power of attorney or other
authority to transfer them, but passing
readilv from hand to hand. The question j
may therefore be asked, would it not be,
wise policy in the government to change
the character of other public loans to that
of coupon bonds? 1 do most cordially
recommend this question to the considers-;
tion of the Legislature, and were t)ie prop
er provisions made for this change, and
the coupons made receivable at the State
Treasury in payments of all public dues,
lit admits of but little doubt that the value
lof the bonds would be greatly enhanced.
1 cannot sec that any disadvantage mcon
sequence of such change coiuldpusstbly
suit to the Commonwealth. The five mil
lion loan already negotiated shows to the
Bv resolution of the last Legislature,
passed 4th May, 1852, the Governor was
authorized “to appoint three commission-j
ors 1 to digest and simplify tho general tax i
laws ofvho State, and to report the samoto
the next (prospnt) 'Legislature. As
commissioners thus appointed, wdl m j
discharge of their duties submit the residt
of thei rtleliberations to your consideration,
I do not deem it proper, under the circum
stances, to suggest any amendments to the
revenue lawsf as they now ex.st, trusting,
that matter' entirely to them. • .
The tolls from tho public works during
tho past year have largely exceeded those
of any previous year, Tho receipts at the
Treasury from that source, having reach
ed the sum of one million mno hundred
and thirty-eight thousand ■ five hundred
and soventv-four dollars and forty-threo
cents (1,938,074 43.) This truly is the
Gratifying result<if good imanagement, pa
well as of increase of trade, and shows
conclusively, what may bd expected- whep

The avoidanco of ihe inclined planes ol
the Allegheny Portage railway, may be
urgod with equal force—whilst the facili
ties for transportation will be greatly in
creased, n vast saving to' the Common
welath will bo the effect. The expenses
now attendant upon the operation of these
planes uro much more than commonsurate
with the interests on the cost of avoiding
them. The same reasons that operated
to the avoidance of the Schuylkill inclined
plane, mnv be applied with equal, if not
creator force, to the case in question.—
Expbrience has already tested the wisdom
of the former measure, and time will show
175,000 00
the wise policy of the latter.
For more specific information in regard
to these improvements, reference is made
to the annual report of the Canal Commis
sioners, which will belaid before you.
Our public debt on the Ist of Dec. L 852,
although staled in the table at 841,524,-
875 37, was in realty 8711,57 3 25 less;
this sum being in the Treasury at that time
and constituting part of the loan of 4th ol
May, 1852, was subject to the redemption
o( any of the 6 per cent, certificate ol loan
then due. Had these certificates been
presented for payment before the close ot
the year the amount of them outstanding
would have been reduced equal to the
amount of the new loan received. It may
be well to remtrfk that this loan does in no
wise increase the State debt, ns it but takes
the place of those loans that have fallen
due On the contrary.it directly reduces
it in amount equal to the premiums receiv
ed these being vested in the commission
aioners of the sinking fund for the purch
ase of State stocks. The only item of in
crease in the,debt since the Ist of Dec.
1851 is the North Branch canal loan, und
this was dictated by the soundest princi
ples of policy.
V By reference to tho tables of estimates
for the current year, it will be seen that
the revenue is calculated to exceed the ex
penditures by the sum of nearly six hun
dred thousand dollars, irrespective of the
balance now in the Treasury But while
this favorable aspect of our, affairs is pre
sented to our view, wo should not too soon
lose smlit of the unfavorable position in
which°we stood some years ago, when
Pennsylvania, for the first time ui her his
tory, failed to meet punctually her hancst
engagements. Although we have now
fairly attained our former position,
prudence and the exercise of sound judg
ment are necessary to retain it. It. was
by these, as manifested in our Imllß of leg
islation, that wc regained it, and it is only
in the same way by these that we can ex
pect to retain it.
1 am with great respect,
Your obedient servant,

Tho Plague in Rnssias
The Boston Traveller is indebted to a
mercantile firmof that city for the following
extract from a letter just received from bt.
Pctersburgh, and dated the 21st of Dec.
“There is a report that the plague has
entered Russia, and is prevalent at anoth
er place. The emperor has ordered a
military cordon of sixty or seventy thou
sand men to prevent its advancing further
into tho interior of the country. Soipe
alarm is felt at St. Petersburg ; thougti in
former times, as in the reign of' Cath
erine, it stopped at Moscow.”
The latest advices received from Mex- ]
ico indicate that the process of disorgani
zation is going on rapidly in that republic.
It is said that all tho Mexican Stales but
three have joiped in tho movement ngnmst
the central authority, and that thoaug
menting: pawor of the revolutionists has
put tho; whole couutry in a very Unsettled
and disturbed condition. "
: Santa Anna’s immediate return to Mex
ico is; regarded as highly probable. • :
It is obvious thatisiich a state-or things

A despatch from New Orleans/receiv
ed last evening, brings the intelligence
that the Mexican republic ijfem the brink
of destruction. The revolutionist^-are
successful in every quarter. The uUWst
consternation pervades all classes qf_ Citi
zens. Arista has resigned the presidency
and fled tho city; whereupon Ceva
predident of the Supremo Court, organized
a sort of provisional government: 1 his
brief summary of events'in Mexico sug
gests to the mind a story of social anttr
chv, disorganized government, and deso
latino rebellion, which tells us that Moxi*
co no longer exists ns a stable and inde
pendent government. The edifice is
crumbling to the'earth in hopeless'rUih:—
How long can this country idle
and indill'crent spectator of a -neighboring
neonlo consumed bv all the dalamaties 01
anarchy"! How long will itbe-bef.llolhe
interposition of the United StaWß'WtUJe
invoked to rescue Mexican society told
civilization, from total anarchyand'bar
barism?. How long will u be before. Ot
her powers will assort rights tn respdetto
Mexico ? These questions are worthy oi
the" anxious consideration of the statesmen
or this country. Thb United Statescan _
