FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER M.
Wc give to-day all the news we have from the
theatre of difficulty in Pennsylvania. These
things arc full of frightful omens to every lover ol
his country, and our republican institutions. The
spirit of Loco-focoism is resistance to the supre
macy of the laws, when they conflict with its dic
tates and its will. Encourage it, and who shall
stay its hand 1 Ask those who were witnesses of
that dreadful period in the history of France
when the Legislature was compelled to register
the edicts of a mob ! That history is full of aw
ful lessons to us, and the scenes at
bring them up fresh to the memory of the patriot.

,AYc were shown this morning, says the Savan
nah Republican of the 10th, a counterfeit Twenty
Dollar Dill on the Dank of the Slate of Georgia
made payable at the Branch in Augusta—No. 403’
letter K. The bill was received last night by a
gentleman of this city.
The Philadelphia National Gazette of the Bth,
states that several volunteer companies of that
city, numbering nearly one thousand men, armed
and equipped according to the orders issued by
the Governor, took passage in the rail road cars
for Harrisburg on that morning. Their presence
will undoubtedly suppress all disturbances at the
Capitol.
From Florida.
The following items containing the. latest intel
ligence from Florida we gather from the Talla
hassee Floridian of the Blh Inst.
“ On Thursday last three wagons were attacked
by a party oflndians on the Magnolia road, about
eight miles from Camp Waoisia. The Indians
were supposed to number fifteen or twenty —they
rifled the wagons of provisions and some little
clothing, doing no further mischief. They de
manded of the negro drivers powder and lead, but
fortunately there was none in the wagons. Capt_
Hoffman, with a detachment of troops from Camp
Wacissa and anumber of volunteers went in pur.
suit, but were unsuccessful in falling in with the
Indians.
“We learn from Fort Brook, that as late as
Dec. 4, the several scouting parties from that post
had found no fresh signs of Indians. A few de
scried huts had been discovered. Major Noel
had left the post with the greater part of his force
for a long scout of twelve or fourteen days. If
t'tc Indians have returned west of the Suwanne,
this expedition cannot fall, we think, in falling in
with some of their parties.’’
The Creeks. —Wchavo reports from the
west that the runaway Creeks have made their
appearance in the neighborhood of the Chipola
lake, and that the settlers have removed to lola for
safety. Wc learn from Captain Hutter, stationed
with his command at Stiffinuiga Bluff, on the
Apalachicola, that few signs have yet been dis
covered by his runners. If Indians are in the
neighborhood, they keep well concealed, and have
not, as wc have yet heard, attempted any mis
chief. Some difficulties which have hitherto pre
vented an efficient operation, we learn, are remo
ved, and Captain 11. is authorized to adopt any
measures which may lend to their discovery, and
we doubt not will succeed, if possible, in routing
them, orbringing them in, if they arc to be found.”
Pennsylvania.
Two public meetings were held at Philadel
phia, on the 7th, each of which appointed a com
mittee of Conference, to effect a compromise, in
order to suppress the difficulties and disorder which
had attended the organization of the Legislature.
The resolution of the Whig meeting which as
sembled in the morning was as follows :
Resolved, That a Committee of Conference of
five he appointed to confer with a committee, if
su di should I e appoin’ed to be chosen by the
meeting to be held at this place this afternoon.
The Committee appointed in pursuance of this
resolution were Horace Binney, Matthew New
kirk, Thomas J. Cope, J. Hall Bready and George
B. Hall.
The resoluton adopted by the Van Burcn
meeting, which assembled in the afternoon, was
as follows :
Resolved, That a committee of five he now
appointed by the chair to meet the committee ap
pointed this morning by a meeting of whig citi
zens—and that they be instructed to confer with
that committee, with a view to the restoration of
order, and the re-establishment of peace and the
supremacy of the laws in this Commonwealth—
provided the committee so appointed on behalf of
this meeting shall he assured that a military force
will not march from the city and county of Phila
delphia under the recent proclamation of the
Governor; this meeting being fully satisfied that
the intervention of an armed force must be de
structive of all hope of benefit from the proposed
conference.
The following gentlemen were appointed the
committee :
John K. Kane, Henry Horn, Dr. Geo. F. Leh
man. Col. Janies Page, and John H. Dohnerf.
The two committees then had a correspond
ence through their respective Chairman, which
was terminated without any practical result.
The Chairman of the Whig Committee hav
ing proposed a conference of the two Committees,
the proposition was accepted by the Chairman of
the Van Uuren Committee, and ten o’clock, A.
I M. on Saturday, named as the hour for holding
it. The following notes then passed between
them, terminating the correspondence:
Sir:—You wore aware last night that the Com
mittee of which 1 am Chairman, adjourned to 10
this morning. 1 shall consequently be unable to
lay before them until that hour, your last note of
yesterday’s date, received to day.
- I am sir, very respectfully your obedient scrv’l,
e HOR. BINNEY, Chairman.
J. K. Kane, Chairman.
* Philadelphia, Dec. 8, 1838.
if
Sir:—The committee of Democratic citizens
have just learnt with extreme pain, that a military
! * force has marched from Philadelphia for Harris
;- burg, under orders from the Governor.
II This intelligence, by the terms of their ap
pointment, annuls their authority to meet your
’ committee in conference,
e I am, sir, your very obedient servant,
, r J. K. KANE, Chairman.
Saturday morning, Bth December,
Hon. Binxev, Chairman, &c. &c.
r< _
b Sir:—l have laid before the Committee your
last note, and they instruct me to say, that while
they regret the failure of the attempted confer
ence, it is no more than they anticipated, for al
though the condition connected with the resolu
tion for your appointment had not in your opinion
presented an impediment to the cons rence, it
would have been impossible for the Committee to
have agreed to draw into question the late military
orders, or to make them the subject of remark or
l- comment in any way; and this, from the first of
y these notes, was apprehended to be your wish.
The military orders have been issued under the
*' law, by persons iu office, responsible for what they
b do ; and it was neither within our appointment,
a nor our personal disposition, to call attention to
this point, away from the unheard of outrages
upon the rights of the people, through the per
sons of t heir representatives.—The only object of
*’ the conference on our part, would have been to
t unite the moral force of general opinion, unaf
d footed by party, in suppressing that outrage; and
so the Committee had instructed me to say, when
it became unnecessary by the last of the coiumu-
R mentions received this morning.
b I am, sir, your very obedient servant,
c ' HOR. BINNEY, Chairman.
J. K. KANE, Esq. Chairman.
Philadelphia, Dec. 8, 1838.
Correspondence of the Philadelphia Herald §• Sentinel
Pennsylvania Legislature.
Harri sit vug, Dec. 7, 1888.
Dear Sir—There was not a quorum of the
d members in the Senate to-day. It is still unsafe
t for n majority of the members to appear in their
places. They are as liable to insult, abuse ami
indignity as they have boon at any time since
their meeting. The bullies arc still here mixed
c up with the crowd and occasionally give tie mo n
i. stratum of their desire to act. By their audacious
t conduct, they still keep the multitude of people
here, in control to their will, but public sentiment
'. among (lie locofooos is rapidly changing. The
p intelligent and respectable of t hat party are be
ginning to whisper their opinions, and their dis
approbation of the violent and illegal peocccdings
J of the disturbed spirits from the county. They
arc beginning to see the necessity for the rcstora
s tion of order. Those who reside in town, feel
I that their title to property is fast loosening, that
the (enure by which they hold even their lives, is
■ weakening before the attacks of disorderly mob
il ilcs. They hold all by a single thread. Rely
e upon it, that a better feeling is beginning to pre
vail.
Mr. Strohm was the Speaker pro tern, and af
■> ter the call ol the House he adjourned until to
il morrow.
The same course was taken by the usurpers in
the Hall ol the House. The chairman adjourned
after the reading of the journal.
r kou will by this time have seen the paper is
a sued by the majority of the Senate, and that sign
r cd by the Speaker of the House, Mr. Cunning
hum. Both these papers are in letter true, but
they do not convey in its true colors the truth of
R affairs as they existed. No set form of language
i- which shall not have the appearance ofexaggera
c tion, could convey the horrid facts as here wit
nessed ; and no description could exaggerate.
E Words are weak to describe ; and when it is said
what was literally true, that the laws and consti
tution were trampled under foot—the powers of
government usurped by a mob—all ordcraud place
destroyed,—who can realize it !
Prosecutions for treason have been commenced
1 against the most prominent agent of the General
r Government here, and against others of the bullies
> who are known. But there is great difficulty in
proceeding. Their true names are not known.
Some fifty or sixty answer to the name of Peters
—Joe, Bill, Dick and Sam Peters. But their
persons can be identified. The preliminary tes
timony is being taken before Judge Blythe, the
i Hon. President Judge of this district, who will
issue his warrant for their arrest. Mr. Bartley,
the Senator from Bradford, is attending to the
matter, at the private residence of the Governor.
In no public place could the matter bo proceeded
in with safety. This morning the Judge is at his
private chamber inquiring into the case, with Mr.
I Cooper, of Adams Co., as assistant.
1 It is as uncertain to-day as it was yesterday,
! when order and safety can be restored.
The military detachment under the command
’ of Major General Patterson, left this place for
Harrisburg on Saturday morning, to the number
of about 1200. We learn that up to 3 o’clock of
that day, they had only travelled about sixteen
; miles.— lb.
•Still Later.
Extract of a letter dated,
Harrisburg, Deo. S.
Several companies of volunteers, 270 in num
!’ her, arrived here to night from Philadelphia, and
400 more arc expected to-morrow morning. Af
fairs are still in great confusion.

Harrisburg, Saturday night, 12 o’clock.
; An armed force, from the city of Philadelphia,
have possession of the Capitol of the State. Two
companies have already arrived, and five more
are expected before morning.
Wo publish the following extract of an article
in the New-York Evening Post, over signature
ol “Veto,” written by a friend of the Administra
tion. It will be seen that he very candidly and
sensibly assigns as the causes of the defeat of that
party, the very reasons which the Whigs have
often urged upon the people as grounds upon
which they should be defeated.
“To what do we owe our defeat 1
“I desire iu the outset to make a dislinct de
claration that Ido not participate in the enj of
corruption and fraud that has been raised.
“We must look further and deeper for the
f cause of our defeat. I confess that my prevail
ing impression is to attribute want of success,
whether in individuals or parlies, to want if con
duct, to tome error against which they might
have guarded. And in the present case 1 believe
it will not be difficult to trace the loss of many
of our adherents to our own blunders. The
1 limits of the articles do not permit a full ami de
tailed statement of the whole case, but it is easy
in a few words to maintain this position.
“Our errors, I believe, commenced with the
• late Administration, and wc have to trace the
gradual falling olf of our majorities far back in
the daps of President Jackson. This most as
suredly is said not to throw the blame on one
now deprived of power, but because it is just
to Mr. Van Burcn to acquit him of mistakes
which he has not made. The present Chief Ma
gistrate is a man of the mast acute sagacity, of
r the most calm and annulled temper. The firm
-3 ness of his conduct commands respect and udmi
. ration, and I have no doubt that had he had the
. control at an earlier day he would have avoided
. the errors of his predecessor,
i “The first cause, then, to which I believe the
l disasters arc to be ascribed is the violence of the
) lute Administration, and the hostile position
; assumed and maintained by many of its organs
r up to the present time tow Aims th k com m kiicial
f class. 'Fhe late President had great and com
. manding virtues—they were too marked not to
, be recognized—a strong sense of justice, love of
j truth, and hatred of partiality or wrong. But
, ho had also great faults; these faults were
, chiefly what arc called of the minor class— faults
s uj temper; but in his case they wore ol much
. greater important c.
f “The course pursued by him in regard to the
j United States Bank-was one founded upon
- sound reason, and which must ultimately com
-1 maud the respect and assent of this country, but
i iu the course of the controversy he permitted him
. self, by the violence of the Opposition, to he be
trayed into a retaliation of the most lasting in
jury to himself and to the democratic cause.
For this violence of temper, caught up and
echoed by servile followers and blind imitators,
created a belief in the minds of many that the
Government wee hostile to Ihccummeidal inter
j ests of the country.
“What conviction could be more fatal to an
Administration'! A country commercial to its
core, of which the commercial characteristics arc
3 most intimately blended with all the other pur
-3 suits, at oucc took the alarm, amt it was only sur
r prising that this cause did not sooner produce its
1 effect,
3 “ Another fundamental error of (he Adminis
-1 (ration (though tins has been rather one of the Go
- verument organs than of the Government itself,)
s has been she violent and ultra language that it
> has us/don thesubjcct of the circulating medium,
t and which has given rise to the widespread bc
-3 lief that it desired to establish a compulsory spe
. cic currency. This preposterous idea lias been
. readily caught up by the Whig prints, and it lias
s been rendered plausible by the ahsi iiiuties that
/ have been echoed and received about gold and sil
- tier, as if, iu a country like ours, paper, as a me
-1 dium of exchange, was not as necessary as the
t air we ureathe.
s “ With this is to be classed the hostility to the
( - small-bill law —a law which has undoubtedly
y produced a great effect upon the election of this
i- State. But I believe it susceptible of proof that
that law would not have had this effect, if it had
not been conceived part and parcel, in a scheme
to banish paper money from circulation, and to
juslcn upon us an exclusive specie currency,”
~ “1 approach another system of measures pur
,l sued by the Administration, which I believe has
tended greatly to discredit it in the popular mind,
and that is, the appointments to office —the sys
_ tematized adoption of partisanship as a basis of
promotion. It is not to be disguised that this
t originated with General Jackson. It was un
p questionably the greatest fault in his character,
c that he was too liable to be biassed by his personal
attachments. A trait tiiat would lie admirable iu
, private life became dangerous in a public station.
“He made it a rule to provide for his friends,
j and it was impossible for a man in his situation
to discriminate as to the motives of that friend-
C ship. Tiie result was, that the most sordid per
c sonai motives were in many cases considered as
but devotion to the true interests of the country,
and rewarded accordingly. It very shortly be
came a maxim to reward partisans by lucrative
1 and honorable offices, and in an ill-omened hour
5 it was declared that to the victors belong the
1 spoils’ AN ADAGE FRAUGHT WITH CORRUPTION
AND ABUSE TO AN EXTENT THAT DEFIES CAL
-5 CULATIO.V.”
The New York Herald says: “Wc learn’
J through aprivate channel, that the Russian Con
sul, of Boston, on a visit to Montreal, has been
arrested by the public authorities of Lower Cana
da, on a charge of instigating the la.;- ebellion in
that Province, and of aiding and aliening the in
surrectionists in their movements. The Consul,
it seems, has several children attending a’convent
or seminary there, for their education. On a
visit to see them, the arrest iu question was
made.”
Wc have been politely furnished witli the fol
lowing particulars of the loss of tiie fine steam
boat Wilmington, by Capt. Gallagher. After a
heavy blow of 48 hours, at 5 o’clock in the morn
ing of the 10th November, found the boat leak
ing badly from the constant and severe strain of
tremendous cross seas. An attempt was made
by keeping both pumps going and setting all
hands bailing, to reach Cape Florida, about 00
miles to tiie south of them, but tiie water gained
so fast that all efforts were found in vain, and tiie
safety of all on board required that stie should be
directed to tire shore. The boat had settled down
to her guards, about a mile from tiie beach, when
the small boats were launched, and al! on board
reached the land in safety, hut w ith the loss of all
except what they wore. The steamboat went
gradually to pieces after striking the beach.—The |
gale continued so as to render all attempts to pro- j
cced in tiie boats for assistance useless until tire |
19th, when the Captain and six men put to sea; j
and after pulling about 36 miles, fell in witli tiie
U. S. sloop Panther, under the command of Lt. I
Shubrick of the Navy, lying at Solder Key. On
I reporting the circumstances, the sloop was im- I
mediately git underway and proceeded up (lie
coast in search of the parly left on the beach.
After running about 23 miles, llie other tw o hoots
" ere met at midnight, w ith the remainder of the
dew. All were taken on board and conveyed to
Indian Key, and thence in theU.fci. Mailschoon
cr Hope to Key \\ esl, where they arrived on the
33d, and took the sloop Chilu for Mobile.
Not a sail was discovered during the nine days
they were on the beach. Tiie Indians began to
collect around them before their departure, and
built fires to attract others of tile tribe; but they
did not collect in sufficient numbers to venture an
attack. A Spanish brig, tiie Triumph, from New
Orleans, via Havana, hound to Cadiz, and loaded
witli cotton and cigars, w ent ashore about 10 miles
to tiie north ot where tiie Wilmington was strand
ed, on the same night. The rrew was said to lie
armed. We understand that $35,000, about the
cost of the steamboat before leaving port, were
insured in [lie Philadelphia, Baltimore and New
.Orleans offices— .¥oi.7e Commercial Register.
1 he I . S. sloop of war Boston , arrived here on
the 2~d hist. Irani a cruise on the const. We un
derstand that she has carefully examined th- whole
coast from Gape Canavrel to the Torlugas, with
out discovering the slightest trace of Indians, or
detecting any vessels engaged in supplying tin m
witli munitions ot war. Tiie officers and crew
enjoy good health, notwithstanding tiie severe ami
disagreeable weather they have experienced du

More Defalcations.— Wall street was full
ol rumors yesterday of more defalcations. Some
of them were certain, such as that of tile pel
banks, according to Mr. Woodbury’s Report.—
1 lie simplest way now, as those tilings are crowd
ing upon us, is tostate them in tabular form thus:
Defa’cations of the Pet banks, (o/lieiul) $3,500,000
Do. of the Canal Cominis’, (reported )' 1,750,000
Do. of Samuel Swartwout, (reported.) 1,250,000

Every day—every hour, wo expect fiesh ones,
particularly from Washington. It is said that
several more in the Custom House are preparing
to cut and run.
It is a generally received opinion in this coun
try that celerity is (he essence of travelling, and
weean prove it by the authority of a hotel keeper,

i di ection of Mr. Jesse f. Paulett, Piineipal, whose
character: nd abilities, as an instructor, arc so well
known, that we deem it unnecessary to say any
i thin ; of them byway of recommendation.
; The female department will he underthe cure of
r Miss Mary McClesky, who has taught a female
School in Athens the present year, with general
s satisfaction to her patrons, and who is recommend
ed in very high terms by Rev. N. Hoyt, and other
gentlemen in Athens, of highest respectability.—
We, therefore, feel assured that we hazard notiiing
in saying that Miss McClesky will prove an able
and faillifid instructress, as well as a trustworthy
i guardian of the morals and general deportment of
the young ladies who may be placed under her
eliaige.
In the department of music, the services of Mr.
I’. CL Gottenhe ger ha»e been engaged. Os Mr. i..
wc will say to those who wish their sons and
daughters to learn music, that he is a native of Ger
many, a country celebrated for the industry and
i skill of its citizens in the sciences generally, and
1 particu'arly in the science of music. In addition to
this, Mr. G. has many testimonia's of the most am
ple charai bn-, together with the experience of seve
ral years of very successful teaching. That he is
amongst the best music teachers, in point of skill,
and superior to most teachers, in point of industry,
his testimonials, and the experience of those who.
have taken lessons under him fully prove. Mr. G..
; is prepared to give lessons on the Guitar, Flute,
Violin, and several other instruments, as we'l as on
■ the Piano.
i We deem it proper to state that the male and fc
ma'e departments will he kept in separate houses,
situated at a short distance from each other. Doth
schools are placed under the supervision of the Prin
i cipal, and the young ladies who may be engaged in
f those studies, in which the appaiatus is used, and
in the languages, will recite to him. Ry this ar
rangement, the Trustees believe they have secured
the advantages, without the disadvantages, of a

tensive apparatus. The location is exceedingly
healthy. The morals of pupils are well guarded ;
(every species of vice, arising from drinking or re
tailing spirits, being effectually and permanently
' excluded from the village and its vicinity,) and the
teachers employed have abi ity and faithfulness.—
We, therefore, recommend the institution to the
public with the utmost confidence.
