> The Philadelphia National Gazette remarks,
that during the year 1830, upwards of three bun ■
dred and fifty lives were destroyed by steamboat
,i accidents; in 1837, six or seven hundred were
cut oil'in the same way; and for the year 1838,
wc may already count nearly or guile a thousand
persons killed thus, and a prospect of having lo
witness at the end of the year, if the evil be not
arrested, a proportionable increase to this hideous
ratio.
Mississippi Crops,
It is with heartfelt regret, says the Southern
i f Miss.) Argus of the IGth ult., that wc have wit-
I ncssed the injury done lo the cotton crops in
♦ his and several neighboring counties. Tbc re
cent slight trosts and cold, damp weather, have
very seriously injured the cotton. Indeed, sonic
planters aro engaged in ploughing up what is
still alive, with a view of planting corn in its
iilcad. We fear the crops will bo less, by a third,
or more, than usual.
Tobacco crops in Tennessee.
The Nashville Banner of the IGth inst. says.
“From the best and moat authentic information
than can ho obtained, it seems that iho prospect
ol the tobacco crop this season promises little hot
ter than that of the last, which is known lo have
been considerably short ot the average quantity.
Should this bo generally the case, the article must
not only keep up, but get lo higher prices than
it has commanded for some time.”
From our Correspondent.
Washington, June 27th, 1838.
In the Senate, lo day, Mr. WtusTsu called up
the hill introduced by him some days ago, (to
which the attention of your readers has been re
peatedly drawn) making provisions in regard to
the use of Banks as depositories ol the Govern,
rncnl, and the receipt of notes ot banks which
have issued Dills as a less denomination than five
' dollars.
Mr. WunsTEti expounded and advocated at
considerable length Iho different provision* of the
measure: and uiged ils adoption as necessary to
give effect lo the Joint Resolution ( repealing the
Specie Circular of July 1830) which had been
passed- and to restore the country to the condi
tion in which it was before that ordcl was is...ted.
The bill, he said, would facilitate the mea.ules ol
the States and ol the bunks loi the tc uiopliou ot
peciepayments, and would tend to bring hack

iuc Government in its financial administration to
their ancient customs —old forms—and establish
cd usages, tho departure from which bus brought
so much distress and embarrassment on tho coun
try.
Mr. Buchanan then rose, and moved that his
bill (of which I gave a brief account yesterday)
be received as a substitute for Mr. Wkiisteu’s
bill. He went into an elaborate exposition and
defence of the substitute, and opposed the original
bill.
He declared that he brought forward his
scheme on his own responsibility alone, and
without concert with the Administration. He
expressed the conviction that the Sub-Trcasury
Bill could not possibly be passed then, nor for
two or three years. And maintained that Con
gress should not adjourn without doing some,
thing to regulate and control the finances by
law.
Mr. Strange next took the floor, and throw
cold water upon Buchanan's proposition. He
hoped tho friends of the Administration would
not conn ect .themselves to any such measure ;
and then followed a speech in tire true non-com.
initial style. VV ;ro the field open, he said, he !
would prove Buchanan’s measure exceedingly
inefficient —he would say it was calculated to do
little good. He, however, had no idea it would
have been presented as a subslita.e for Mr.
Weusteu’s bill. He a wanted time for consults,
tion and reflection, and therefore, said ho, I will
move to lay it on the table, and will not with
draw tho motion for any man.
Mr. Buchanan asked him shaiply whether he
would call it up to morrow.
Schange replied that he would not; but might
call it up on the day after.
Mr. Buchanan then said ho would himself
cf.ll it up to morrow.
Thu bill was then laid on the table.
After the presentation of a few petitions, me
morials, and resolutions of little or no importance,
the Senate proceeded to tho consideration of bills
of a private and local chcracler: and was engaged
in business of that character during the remain
der of the setting.
In the House of Representatives, on motionjof
Mr. Howaiiu, a resolution was adopted requi
ring the Committee on Public Buildings, to pro
cure an estimate of the expense of ventilating
the British House of Commons, and to report, by
next session, in the practicability of applying the
same plan to the Hall of the House of Represen
tatives.
TEXAS.
The report of the Committee on Foreign Af
fairs asking to be discharged from the further con
sideration of the subject, came up as the unfin
ished business.
Mr. Adams being entitled to the floor was
about to resume his remarks, when, at the solici
tation of several members, he gave way, in order
that reports might he received from Committees.
Mr. Adams, himself from the Committee on
Manufactures reported a bill for the remission of
duly on all Iron imported for tiro construction of
iron steam boats. It was read twice, and referred
to the Committee of the Whole. None of the
other reports possessed any remarkable interest.
The House then resolved itself into Committee
of tin; Whole, and resumed the consideration of
the Senate Bill for increasing the Military Estab
lishment of the United States. M.
JACKSON BORO’, June 28.
Mu. Jones —I copy tho following short article’
from your paper of Juno 25th, and under your
editorial head ;
“Wo take tho earliest opportunity of informing
our friends in Savannah, that on Friday,immedi
ately after tho Northern Express hod arrived,
bringing the joyful news that some of our friends
had bfcen saved from the wreck of the Pulaski,
art Express was immediately employed, and who
left here at 12 o’clock, lo carry to them the same
glad tidings, but who, after reaching Jackson
bora', \vm detained fur the want of horses •
which could nut he purchased fur love ormoneij.’’
Four informant has imposed upon you, in the
above statement, so far as lam concerned. The
express rider did not mention his business fir
me. Ho came to my house between 11 and 12
o’clock at night, and brought a letter lo bo mailed
by me, to Augusta, which I did. If ho had in'
formed me of his mission, he could have been
furnished with one or more horses lo have went
to Savannah. The, assertion that horses could
not be obtained in Jacksonboro’, “ for love or
money,” to continue the express to Savannah,
is therefore unfounded as it is untrue.

The Great Western.
At four o’clock on Monday afternoon, pursu
ant lo notice, the Great Western left the foot of
Rutger’s slip. Two steamboats, the New Haven
and the Vanderbilt, laden with passengers, ac
companied her, and a small steamboat, the Sun,
with not many persons on board, pulled away in
company. The assemblage at Rutger’s slip was
not large. This was probably owing to the be
lief that tho Great Western would pass round
the battery lo give tho multitude a good opportu
nity of seeing her lo advantage. The Battery
and castle garden wore crowded, as on the occa
sion when the great steam ship left us fur tho first
time. There were no less than seven steamboats,
all crowded with anxious spectators, skimming
the waters of the bay, and giving it the most
lively and animated appearance. At length tire
knife like bow of the splendid vessel was turned
, towards the narrows, and she cut her way through
the waters in gallant style, amidst the cheers of
tho assembled multitude.
Capt. Mole, of the Si.rius, gave orders to fire a
couple of guns upon the Western’s leaving her
moorings, but unfortunately ihete was no powder
on board, so tho compliment intended by the
• captain of tho 18irius to tho second steam ship
that has crossed the Atlantic was not paid. Gap
tain Mole, after a dinner, given to a lew select
friends, did as Iris gallant predecessor would have
• done, drank to tho safe arrival out of the Great

Important to Texas Volunteers.
Many ul those who served brief campaigns in
Texas, and have been obliged by their business
engagements, to remain in tire U. Stales ever
since, are laboring under the impression that
they have forfeited their claims by their absence.
This is ail a mistake. They are still entitled to
their head rights and their bounty lands. .
Upon this subject, \vc have been permitted, by
an old volunteer, to see a letter from a Texian
gentleman of high respectability, who look down
a largo body ol troops in 1830 ; and, for the infor
mation of his comrades in arms, who may be
scattered over different portions of the U. States,
vve lake pleasure in publishing the following
extracts :
“Velasco, Juno 23, 1833.
“Yourself as well as every other man who
came with me to the country during that time
(1830,) is entitled to his head right, independent

our old comrades know this. They deserve eve

The Arm at at Short Hi els. — Wo have
learned but little respecting this allair in addition
to what wo published yesterday. A gentleman
of this city, who left the Falls this morning, in
forms us that it was generally understood there
that the light had its origin in a tavern broil.—
The Lancers were insolent and overbearing, high
Words were followed by blows, and a general
melee ensued, iu which several were severely in
jured and a few killed. There is no evidence*
that any violence was premeditated by either
party, and so far as wo can learn, it was purely
a casual recountcr. It may, however, bo but the
prelude to fresh troubles. There is no aflinily
between the resident population of the province,
and the Drilish soldiers. The latter arc looked
upon 4 as foreign mercenaries, and wo may expect
to hear of frequent collisions between them and
the people.
A report was brought up by the car this noon,
that CO regulars had been taken prisoners by the
insurgents, near Short Hills. If this is true, it
would indicate that there is a more perfect organ
ization on their part than wo had supposed, and
that they aro about to recommence active opera
lions; but wo doubt the story altogether. If any
troops have been captured, they probably belonged
to the "Queen’s Own,” a detachment of which is
s ationed at Lundy’s Lane.— Buffalo Cam. Adv.
11 y the Northern Mail last evening, wo leant
that four of the Lancers were killed and the re
mainder taken prisoners. There is no doubt a
large body of Patriots m arms. Their number is
variously estimated from one to two thousand,
they arc encamped in a swamp near the Welland
Uunal, about 20 miles from Niagara Falls. The
greatest excitement prevails at Chippewa. The
place is garrisoned with n rgghnem of infantry
and a considerable body el volunteers, The
Steamboats from Bullulo aro searched before the
passengers aro permitted to land, and every pas* '
sago is strictly guarded. Further troubles may
be apprehended, for the conduct ofthc British sol
diery is not calculated to allay the excited state of
ba ling, that we have evidence to believe exists in

The Lewiston Telegraph of the 23J,/confirms
the account of tiro battle at “ Short Hills;”—An
engagement took place last night, at the “Short
Hills,” Niagara District, U. C., between the Pa
triots and a company of the (Queen’s Lancers.—
’Flic Short Hills are thirteen miles from A'iagara
Falls, and comprise a district of uoeven surface,
covered with thick woods and swamps, and ad
mirably adapted to that species of warfare which
the Patriots seem to have adopted. It is inhub,
iled by men of determined character and liberal
principles, and we have long expected an Cut
bregk in that quarter.
A company of the Queen’s Lancers were sent
into that quarter a week ago, to pul down any
demonstration ol patriotism. ’Phis morning ul
ten o’clock an express arrived at Niagara who sta
led that the WIIOLK COMPANY had been
surprised and after a loss of several killed, all
who survived were taken prisoners.
The report was first doubted, arid a gentleman
of the highest respectability went over to Queen
ston to ascertain its truth.
Capt. Palmer, tbo Commander at that place
admitted that there bad been a skirmish between
tea of the Lancers and two hundred patriots, in
which the lormer lost their horses and equip
ments, and were all taken prisoners, but wet j af
terwards released.
The leader of the Patriots is said to be Samuel
Chaundlor.
We believe that the whole company of Lan
cers have been taken prisoners, and retained as
such. Philip Bender was the only man who es
caped; he was wounded in the leg.
McLeod is stated to be one of the Patriot
Leaders, and Samuel C. Frey is also supposed to
bo among them. For the last ten days the Ca
nadian Ilefugces have been returning by night in
small parties, and we have understood limit ren
dezvous to bo at the Short Hills.
This morning 110 regulars and some volufi
luctf were ordered from Chippawa and Drum
monville in that district, hut in, Ihe Patriots have
now commenced the war, the woods (ire alive
with them, and the regulars will probably , u/f

, will, wo imagine there must yet be a great fall in
puces generally before the financial allairs of llio
country can become firm. The prices at which
stocks ami other securities are held without doubt
are fictitious values; that is, they hold the intlalod
rales, nearly, to which they were carried under the
influence of the rage for speculation and stock
gambling which prevailed two years since.
The nominal value which was then affixed
to every kind of properly still attaches to
the slock market, hence the sensitiveness of the
dealers which causes pri ;os to rise or fall 5 or b per
cent with every breath or trilling rumor which
is circulated by the designing. So soom as the
tall business starts, which will now be soon, there
will boa greater demand for money than exists
at present, and the mass of thocaptal now alloat
will be absorbed in the natural course of business
without leaving any surplus fonho maintenances
oi the disposition to speculate which still lingers
in VV all street, and sends up prices to extravagant
rales vvith every favorable rumor which is made
public; therefore we are of opinion that a few
months ot renewed business will have the cfl'ecl
to bring down the rates of securities to their real
vuiues, at which there will ho business enough
done to satisfy the rosoimble. The markets

thinly from Mr Calhoun, and in the expression
id his dissent, displays the high end generous
feelings characteristic of the man. Ho does not
seize the occasion to abuse old friends,with whom
it has been his pride to art in trying times, nor
to impute to them dishonorable motives for tin ir
new course. In this respect hie conduct is wor
thy of llto imitation of those who think them

fer:; from hia old comrades more in sorrow than
anger; and while ho regrets the existence of any
rhll’erence, he deplores deeply the intolerant spirit
with which that dill'sretme is urged to extremes.
That Mr Calhoun and a portion of his friends
should concur with Mr Van Duron, in relation to
the Sub Treasury, and desire its adoption, could
ho complained of by no one; hut to make this
coincidence ol views on an isolated point, the
pretext ol going over to the administration, and
loreing nil the Slate Rights party to do likewise,
or submit to he branded as traitors and hunted
down us wild beasts, is what it could not ho ex
pected would he endured without a murmur.—
Those, gentlemen, by the zeal and violence which
they have exerted in the cause of their now allies
—by the denunciations and proscription of their
old allies, may succeed in gaining favor from
those in power,—hut, in the end, they will find
that this lavor will poorly compensate them lor
the loss of old friends,and the ruinous distraction
in the South which, will spring from their fronsL
ed course.
Dut on their heads he the consequences. The
Slate Rights Whigs, whoever else they may not
support for the Presidency, will never give their
aid to Marlin Van Duron. Circurstauces might
by possibility, induce them to take no pint in the
presidential set amble, or ft least to be the parti
sans of no man ; but lb. y never can, while in
their souses, give their support to those who have
plundered the Ti 'usury, disgraced the country,
and trampled upon the Constitution. Mr. Cal
houn and his friends, who claim to he the only
true advocates of Stale Rights, may hurl their
thunderbolts at (ion. Hamilton, Mr. Preston, and
others, who, like them, have not the spring and
elasticity to hound from one extreme to another.
Dut the State Rights party proper cannot consent
to rest their hopes upon this corrupt administra
tion for recommending an expedient, which Mr.
Calhoun’s genius has manufactured into a pana
cea for all our national disorders. They will

President Making.
It has always been our endeavor, in our feeble
manner and humble sphere, to recall the thoughts
of our people from foreiyti hopes and objects, and
to fix them steadily on our domestic institutions,

which her citizens should look for both saf ly and

most assuredly the country will go unsaved, ft

liberty for the .Stales are to come from the central

governments, unless self derived, self dependant,

Dm.vtii op Talukyiianu.—The following
eloquent article Iruni lliu Liverpool Mail, on
the death ol Talleyrand, will make the blood
llow quicker, its truths will nut be denied;
JNow that Prince Talleyrand, or milter the
remains of him* have been deposited in the
“baht! earth Item which he sprung,” it may
not he considered an net ol indelicacy on our
part to pronounce a lew last words, byway of
moral, over his grave.
la all the stirring events of the last fifty
years, so liuiUttl of revolutions, anarchy, and
crime, Talleyrand played an active, sometimes
an invisible, often a conspicuous, uniformly,
ait important part. The master whom he
served, namely,the “first whig’’ according to
the definition of Dr. Johnson, it is
said, lie personally resembled, appears to have
bestowed upon him an unusual share ol his
affection and protective inliucnec. On this
ground, principally, if not entirely, his num
berless escapes from the guillotine and the
gallows tun bo accounted for. Wherever
mischief was at work, or numo criminal plot in
concoction, a king to he murdered, a prince to
he ass issinated, or some thousands ol j leohins
li, he let loose like lories, to drink the blood
of each oilier, there M. Talleyrand, Prince
Talleyrand, Priest Talleyrand or Citizen Tal
leyrand, or the Bishop of AuUni, was sure to
he ; silent, perhaps, i s a vampire at midnight,
hut us eii.-aiiguincd as a sculping Indian ; cool
as a qtiakor at meeting, but as unrelenting as
a Spanish monk, familiar with the acts ol the
I loly inquisition ; sure barged with vengeance,
but meek as a saint; calm and decided ; plau
sible, but unforgiving; biller, remorseless—
Satanic !
We do not recollect in history a man who
lived so long ami bote so worthless, so hide
ous, or so lepulsive a character an Prince Tal
leyrand, l!(J was of noble decent, bore
maimed to excite cominissoratiun, with a dull
unmeaning lace to conceal the working ol Ins

lower regions which bad done its worse, by
low intrigue, and a love of self preservation,
to endanger thrones, oven to rain republics,
and at last to court monarchical institutions,
in the dotage of an ill-spent life, for purposes
purely of a personal and money.aggrandizing
nature.
Let him rot with the finger of scorn point

instructive but odious history. Wo cannot
say one word more in relation to a man tow
