I had proceeded thus far when your pa per of the 20lh inn. wns handed me, in which my attention was directed to a de scription of the buildings taken from the "Springfield Pioneer," which is a very correct one, with only one exception; which is the wing in the rear of the east end, in which tho Mess-room (which also serves as a chap el,) kitchen, bako house, hospital, apothe cary, nnd nurso's rooms, is represented to be of brick, when in fact, it is n very substantial stone building. There is now part-ly under roof a brick work seop about 200 feet long by about 50 feet wide the ono half of which is appropriated In stonecutters, nnd the other end is divided the length wise nf tho building with n narrow avenue, betwixt which affords tho Warden, by menus holes lor the purpose, an opportunity to inspect those within the two shops thus formed, without being seen him'clf. These hops will contain several descriptions of me chanics, such as carpenters, coopers, shoemakers, tailors, &o. There i one convenience connected with theconstruction of the prison, that the "Pionoer" has not adverted to, which is worthy of note that i, the situ ation of tho Guard Itooin immediately in tho roar of tho center building, or Keeper's home, out of which, through windows for tho purpose, the guard in thnt room can hnvo a perfect view of the whole ranges of cells in both wings consequently, the guard who patrols round tho block of cells is sub ject at nil times to his inspection, nnd that without his knowing when.

At present there are hut two guards on duty at the sumo time in the night ; both of whom are, under liny circumstances, in comforta ble quarters tho one being in tho Guard Itoom nnd tho other prnmcnnding round the block of cells ; and thero is but one relief during the night. There nre, however, sev eral of the day guards, who, when not on duty, sleep in quite a pleasant chamber over the Guard Room, out of which they also have n view of tho front of the cells, ns well as or tho guard who makes the rounds, The whole building, ns far as completed, op-penrs to combino strength, elegance, nnd oonvenienco without extravagance; nnd thero is very little doubt in my mind, that after tho whole is completed, the institution, instead of being an expense, will be a source of considerable revenue to tho State.

Dear Sir Having recently visited Co lumbut, and whilst there, 1 was induced, in my rambles, to call at the new Penitentiary and nrrivou within the prison-yuru ut J clock, P. M. just as the bell was summon ing the conviots to dinner. I wns struck with the evident good order manifested by them eaoh convict instantly quit his work and moved with a hurried step to his rcspec live parade ground, nnd there formed a line in five separate companies in very close or der, so much to ns to touch each other. Whon the word was givon by the guard commanding, to prooeeel, they nil simulta neously moved oft in the lock-step (us per fectly done as a company of wcll-lruined soldiers would, the several leet in each coin pony striking the pavement at the sumo time, rosembling, in sound, tho march of but one man,) to the Mess-Koom, where they nil sen' ted themselves waiting the signal to off with hats, which, when given, was nt once obuy cd. They then continued still and motion less until the signal to commence eating was liven ; upon its being done, they commenced their mcnl, composed of an abundiinoo of coarse bread nnd sweet meat, well cooked. The broad was really inviting to a man but moderately hungry: eaoh man had his cup of water set before him. After they hud oaten, they were again paraded iu companies ia the Moss-roam, and marched nut in the same onlor in which they went in, to a proper distnnoe, when they wero ordered to disperse, and each man repaired to labor. A oiroumstanco which rendered the soeno jnore interesting, wns, that during tho whole .ceremony not a word was spoken by either guard orconviot, exocpt the giving, by tho former, the neoessary command. 1 was not .only pleased, but was perfectly astonished to find the prisoners in suoh perfect discipline, it having been but about three wcoks jinoe they were transferred from tho old prison. The Warden advised nio that his .obiect in enforoinr the discinliiie iust reci ted, is to systematise All their actions thereby faoilitnting the proper management of them. Cortainly much credit is duo to Mr Medserrt, both as Superintendent and Warden, for the patient and dignified deportment manifested by him towards the onviols during the progress of the work, as well as in disciplining them sinoe they came under his entire oonlrol. There nre now in the institution one hundred and ninety-tbreo convicts; and if the pardoning power is not liberally exoroiseil, m a short tune llionum bor will fur exceed two hundred. They aro chiefly employed in tho construction of the new prison, a description of which, as far ai it it completed, might he interesting to your loaders, and which I shall attempt briefly to do, me utos eieoteu by the Di reotors for the looation of the institution is a very handsome one, about the sumo dis tanoo from the State House thnt the old Pen itentiary is, but in a north-westerly direction, on the hank of the Soioto, dirootly np posits a ourvo of the river nbove Columbus, hnving command n( the landing in said curve, which auords a secure anil conven ient harbor, access to which, with a trifling From ilia Western Spectator, TO THE PUBLIC. The Ohio University ia aunnorted bv Lianue given oy congress to tho Ohio Uom pany. Of this donation, tho Torritorii1 and aliorwarua the State Legislature Ohio, ivoro mode Trustees, until tho Insti tution was organized, and Trustees regularly appointed by thorn, to carry it intoop-oration. The eontlcmen to whom this imnortant charge was committed, have had the Col legiate department in rosular onerntion for a considerable number of yearn. They have faithfully managed ita funds, and endeavored, by all honest means, to increase them: and by the establishment of wholesome rules of discipline among the pupils, to render it a blessing to the present and future generations. This Institution is the prnnerlv of the nub- lie; and to render it a blessing to the citizens of the Slate, nnd to others who may choose to avail themselves of the advantages winch it auords, has been the ami of the Trustees. It is, therefore, with regret that wo now mention recent adverse occurrences, which have greatly lessened our numbers, and cast a gloom over our present situation. At tne opening ot the present term, November, 1834, more than twenty of the students, who rolurncd with the viow of pros ecuting their studies in this Institution, refused to comply with a recent requirement ot tho Hoard ot trustees, and returned home to their parents. Tho Trustees aro not now, and will not, perhaps, be in session boforo April next; and lor this reason the c acuity think it their duty to mako tho fullniving statement. Uurintr the past summer, tho quiet and order ol tho Institution was frequently interrupted by acts of the most wanton character, which could not coiitributo to tho advantage or rational pleasure of any ono. In the silent hours of tlio night, brick-bats and stones wero rolled along the Collogo halls, in a manner calculated to disturb and wake up every one in the building. The doors of the recitation rooms w ere found so closed up that, in tho morning, tho teachers could not euter; their black-boards were carried away and concealed, and in somo instances, destroyed; the door leading to the boll so fastened that the students could not bo called, rogularly, to recitation; loud and tumult uous noises were undo in and around tho College, at limes when all should ho at rest in their beds; and even while the Hoard was in sossion, during a recess of that body, their table and seats wero thrown from the windows of the third story of tho Collcoe edifice and broken to pioces. All this, and much inoro ot a like natura was done, at times and under circumstancos, which bade defiance to the vigilance of the College olH ccrs to prevent; and such was tho stato of tooling among tho students generally, that no mode of inquiry or examination, which the faculty could omnlov. could oroduco anv disclosure, or any evidence, evon of facts wnicn must be presumed to be generally known among them, as to the disorderly conduct before stated. In view of these circumstances, tho Hoard passed the following resolution: "Resolved, That at the commencement of next term, the Faculty shall cause all the students to subseribo the following, or some similar declaration: "We, and each of us, do declare it to bo our purpose to be quiet, regular, and orderly in all our deportment; and to obsorvo tho regulations of the University; respect the authority of the Faculty, and render our aid in detecting and suppressing disorders; so long as wo continue in tho Institution, thus will we uo: Ann hereafter no person shall be admitted as a student, until he shall have subscribed such declaration. " This is the resolution which gave offence to tho students, and w hich many of them refused to subcribe, and particularly thel clause wnicn says, "ana render our aid in deleting and suppressing disorder." Whe ther the Board havo required of the pupils under their patronage what is unreasonable and unjust, must be loft to the decision of a judicious public; and especially to parents, wno uesire to promote the best interests ot their sons. Every Academy, College, or Sominary of learning, is a distinct society; and requires, for its government, a code of laws adapted to its peculiar circumstances. The principle embraced in the offensive clause of tin resolution of tho Hoard, is simply this: that each student of the Ohio University should, in a discreet and brotherly manner, watch over every other, for the purpose of preventing disorder; and if disorders actually tako place, and are continued, in spito ol private and friendly efforts to check them, in such case, by detection, to suppress mem. Iu the Church this principle is distinctly recognized and inculcated, under the penalty of being aocuunted nil .toceasury. Lev. xix. 17, " I hou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, end not sulfur sin upon him," or us we read in the mnrgin "that thou bear not sin lor linn." Tho benevolence of the upright man will urge him to the performance of this duty. If a brother transgress ho thereby provokes tho nnger of his Judge, and if we love him as ourselves, we shall be disposed to warn him of his danger, nnd persuade him to nbandon his wicked ways. When a student by noise, mischief, or in any way whatever, disturbs the quiet of his In stitution, he violates tho common rights and inte rests of his fellow students. 1 ho influence of even a small number of disorder ly individuals, unrestrained, in injuring the literary progress, as well ns iu lowering the standard of moral wurth among his associ ates, is greater than can be easily estimated. It stumps tho general character of the so oiety Such unhappy individuals aro certainly transgressors, ami merit the penalty of the violated law. If a fellow student render his aid in suppressing disorder, ho dors it to protect himself nnd to provent crime. If he render hisnid in detecting a crimo which has been committed, he preserves the order of society, and perhaps saves the transgressor from further advances in iniquity. Iho prmciplo of the Hoard exlnhitod in their resolution, is considered essontinl to the due execution of the laws of civilsociety- On the fidelity and success of tho mag istrate in the discharge of his duty depends, in a nign uegree, the morality and the happiness of society. But if the private citi zen, combine in tho concealment of crimes, if they withhold their aid in detecting nnd suppressing transgressions of the law, how littlo will the magistrate be able to effect 1 If the foregoing remarks are correct, the Trustees of the Ohio University have required of the pupils of this Institution to ro-oognise for their government, a principle which iou lias sanctioned in the govern ent of his church, which is esseutinl to the well being of civil sooicty and the go vernment of law, and which, we think. ought not to he accounted ngoruus, unjust or tyrannical. Nor can it be said thnt tho principle novel or unusuni. ine same provisions substantially, hnvo found, a placo in the various Colleges of our country: and in this Institution they have been distinctly recognized and published : although for several years pnst, the peaceful and ordinary state of the Institution did nut require their aid, and they were suffered to full into disuse.

THE SANDUSKY HARBOR, Has been a subject of misrepresentation, ever since we have been acquainted with it, to such an extent, at limes, ns to operate very injuriously upon the commercial interest of this town. The reports relating to it, have had their origin in the same mo-lives, and probably with the same persons, who very unjustly gave it the character ol nn unhealthy situation. Although we had no hopes thnt tho malignity which propagated them, would ever ceaso, while there wero interests to bo advanced by thwarting ours, yet we believed they would fail to have a prejudicial cITect, lifter the often repented proofs ol their falsehood wero given to the public. Every commencement of spring navigation is met by n renewal of unfavora ble report.; and although tho channels may he generally known to havo been good the preoediug year, yet such changes iiro said to have taken plaoe, ns to rendur it not only difficult to effect, but dangerous to attempt an entrance. Wo have no douht that such reports are uftnn countenanced, if not promulgated by somo captains of stcn-nboats, to excuse themselves fur landing pnssongers for this place at other ports; nnd this circumstance, without the falsity of the pretence being known to the rest of the passengers, is the means of spreading the injurious impression more rapidly and more extensively than it could be done hy our mure zealous but less powerful enemies, State ments have heretofore beuu puhlishod, which have no douht satisfied all the readers of them who desired to know the truth; hut owing to the causes befuro alluded to, and to tho fact that these statements were generally rondo by citizens of this place, they were imputed to iiilerosteil mutives, und for that reason received less credit, nnd had less onrrency, than they deserved. Although self interest undoubtedly hnd its iufliieiico in making them, that alone ought not to destroy their credibility. Masters of vessels who are in the habit of entering Sandusky bay, need no informa tion upon tho suhjeot but there may be others to whom a truo stntoment of the condition of the harbor would bo interesting-: nnd however hopeless ia tho nltompt to nut down wniinl interested misrepresentation, we will record ono more prool ; and wo do it with the mora pleasure, because, while it it of the most respoctuble character, it is en tirely thsi ilerested. Wo speak of a letter from the officers ol the V. S. Revenue Cut ter Erie, to some uf our oitiznus, which has been handed to us fur publication, and which will be found below. Sanouskv, Nov. 13, 1834.

THE TERMINATION OF THE WA HASH AND ERIE CANAL. This is a tnpio which has attracted and is now attracting much attention. Whero will tho canal terminate? ia n question daily and Hourly reiterated, ami which unils groat variety of conflicting nuswers, from persons interested in different places, each or which on account of somo local ndvau tngo, churns to bu the most favorable spot for such luruilnatioii. As for curwlvcs, we will freely ncknowletlgo'thnt ws do not know whero the en mil will terminate, and we nre ulio ns free to state, that we are not of the opinion that many others nre wiser than we are upon the subject. We have, however, an opinion, mid that opinion is bused upon our kuowlcdgo of certain facts which are known to many besides ourselves, and which if they do not load to is si irresistible conclusion, ntf rd at lent, a strong presumption, that the termination of the Wahush and Erie Canal will not bo far from n point on tho Maiimee river oppositu the largo I.liind which lies between the town of Pcrryshurg on the nuo side, and the town of Muumee on the other. These facts nre, first: That the summit of the ridge of land between the waters uf Swan oreek and tho Muumee in twenty or more feet higher than the bed of tho river nt the head of the rapids, for a diitaiice of several miles; thus shutting out tho po-ibility of the ca nal ever being carried iu thnt direction, wero there no oilier reasons why that location should not bo chosen. Second: That it has been ascertained by scientific ud measurement, that tho oanal cannot be built upon what has been culled the high level. This is the opinion opouly expres sed hy the Engineer upon the line ol thi canal, and is a fact of public notoriety ; and it ia us well known that if the low level is the rout chosen, tho canal cannot on account of the high bluff banks bo extended fur below the towns of Pcrryshurg ami Mail-meo. That tho bluff bunks are an obstacle to the extension of the c i mil below the point mentioned, may be gathered from the reports heretofore niiiilo hy the engineers upon tho line, and Hint the necessity for nn nrliucial water communication ceases ut tho head of a superior natural one, no man of sense oan deny. These nre tho circnnistnne.es upon which wo build our opinion, ninl wo submit them to those who wish to know the truth upon the suhjeot. That there nro strong oxerliona making to extend tho canal to certain other points. mid to carry it iu certain other directions, is ns true ns that those whu aro making those exertions, nre driven hy their seal for some favorite looation, into measures which lire fur from being honorable. -The atnry has been repeatedly circulated, that the oauiil has been laid out in tho direction uf Swan creek, and would follow tho valley of that stream to its termination lit Port Lawrence. ami even now thero nre those who do nut hositato to declare that suoh is the fact. Others pretend to ridiculo the idea that tho canal is to toriiiinnle so far above the head of navigation, nnd ussert that it is to be continued by the way of the valley of the illutimce, to Fort l.avvrcnoe. I,et those who wish to know the truth of the matter, looK, nt tacts, nnd not to the declarations of interested individuals; und if they flu it to Do (run, that in the nature of tiling, it is perfectly impossible to construct and feed a canal extending to I'ort Lawrence, they will probably coiuo to the oonolusiou that it must stop nt aotne plaoe nhove there, nt a point whero the canal nnd lake naviga tion oan meet without difficulty, and where tho face of the country does not preclude the possibility ol oonstructing n canal proclamation: WHEREAS, by the 13th section of the not, cntitleu "An net to incorporate the Ohio Lifo Insurance and Trust Compu ny," it is made the duty of the Governor of this stato, upon being notili.'d by the trus tees of said Coropuny, that they are ready to oommence business, to appoint some suitable person to exuminennd count the monuys paid in upon the first installment of the said capital stock, and there actually existing iu the vaults of the said oorapnny, &o. agreeably to the proviaions contained in aaid section; and whereas, after being so notified, Geu'l.
