crrru American Monthly Magazine, fur Felly. MARRIED BY MISTAKE. The »ie«m was furiously whizzing from the safety, valves of two fine boats that lay be side the wharf at Providence, crowded with passengers, and every moment taking more on board. The Spitfire and Rasp, (Captains Chace and Charcoal.) seemed like two huge monsters, impatient to display their fiery speed Upon the race-course of tho Sound'. Tho tongue of the bell had rung its last alarm, when a hot and hasty traveller, encumbered by o <cloak and carpet-bag, sprang from the wharf to the deck of the Spitfire, and in so doing blundered against a gentleman who was stand ing near the gangway. Ttie new comer, re reading from ttie immoveable form of the other, trod on ths gouty toe of an unhappy bnll-dug, who uttered a low growl, and rasped his muz zle against an adjacent trunk, signifying there by that he had the will, if not the power, to avenge an insult. The unlucky assailant sneaked bluehingly away to deposit his bur then and secure a berth, while the proprietor of the bull-dog drew himself up to his prou xleel height, toyed with a pink shirt collar, and inuitered something like an imprecation, which was lost, however, in tho folds of his cravat. The gentlemen who had thus come in con tact both belonged to the genus cockney, as 'was evident from their dress and personal ap pearance. They bo'h wore square-cut green •coats, garnished with brass buttons, and white felt hats with very yellow gloves and waist ■cuats, and there was a curiam spruce grub, ness in 'heir noses and a carroty tinge in •their cropped Socks that plainly told their ori gin. The principal differences between them consisted in the thin sandy moustache which twinkled on the lip of the owner of the hull dog and in his superior stature. Tiiis gentle man had been travelling in thu Canadas, and making the grand tour of the lakes, whence he diverge !to the City of Notions, lie was now on his way to a town on tho Hudson, theie to sign and seal ; in short, to wed a lovely damsel, the chdd of a distant relative, whom he had never seen, but whom the min ature in his possession assured him was a "•lovely crillchurc.” Tho second cockney was travelling “ for hinformalion." When the boat began to move, the passen gers on board the Spitfire crowded to the starboard side of the vessel to watch tlio pro gress of the Rasp. Frequently did Captain ’Chace descend to the “inferno” in the centre 'of his craft, and as often, on his re-appear ance, did the volumes of smoke that issued from the funnels grow denser and blacker, spreading like the wings of some vast bird u hove tho water. At length a loud hurrah • proclaimed that the Rasp had given up III; contest, and away (I iw the victorious Spit fire, justifying her name by the trail of sparks she left behind, and cleaving the waves of the Sound with a devilish velocity. The excite ment of the race soon died away. Some of the passengers descended to the cabin, others •lay at length upon settees; while not a few, with an air of determined activity, strode back and forward on the upper deck. Among the latter were our cockney friends. As niton as they crossed each oilier in their counter marches, he of the moustache gave vent to aoine fragmentary ejaculations, such as -“Von a gentleman hiosulla another gentleman,” anti lieven if the liinsnlt was Imnliintentional,” and the like; all of which muttering* ended 1 with a smart awing of Ins switeh cane, which waa very awful to behold. Whereupon the lessor cockney would look fluttered, but wou d essay Die «ir of * Money musk," which inva riably died aw.iv in a dumi smni quaver Ths conduct of these travellers, afforded much amusement to a couple of American gentlemen who had noted their proceed ngs j from the first. These last w re Frank liar ris.a midshipman, and hi* companion Dr Seal- I pel, both of the United States' navy. If the j young middy waa in the highest spirits, the 1 man of science was hy no means indispo i d ’ to join in Ins mirth. He was a hint)'and port •ly gentleman of the sect ol laughing philoso phers. To a whispered scheme of the mis chief-loving middy, Dr. Scalpel gaie assent ■and countenance. In pursuance of liio plan, the friends separated, and soon after entered into conversation with the cockneys; the midshipman making up to the lesser Bri ton, and tho surgeon accosting the owner of the bull-dog. "My dear sir."said Harris, “you must ex cuse my interference in your affairs, but I take such an interest in yon, though a stranger, that I cannot help assisting you. Yon ran against the gentleman with the switch cane •and mustacliias.” “It vas hontiroly hunhinteni ionally," repli ed the little cockney, “I ham so wolatilo and ’eedless.” “ But the man’s irascible, and his insolence as apparent to all our fellow-passengers," * Vel, vat shall Idol Hapologizo !" "Apologize! I’ooh ! that would only en courage h*-* No—stand your ground, and I'm the man that will uphold you. Assume a firm demeanour.” “ Fray 'ow can hi! I’m so volatile 1 ’ “hs easy enough. You must, 1 say, take a determined attitude." “ As ’owl" asked the cockney. “ Knit your brows ami look big." The lit tie cockney stood on tiptoe. « Ami if lie should challenge you” “ I’d lodgu ahinlbrmation,”said the cock ney quickly. “ If you did so pusillanimous a thing" re plied his Mentor, “1 would he the first to foresake you. I would abandon you to the rage of your ferocious adversary." At that terrible voice and’ those terrible words the heart of tho little cockney died a way within him. Men iwhile a dlfiorent con- Vcrsation had taken place between the Inr gcr cockney and the doctor. The former did not wait for the latter's advances, hut commenced with:—'Ow d’ye do, sir ? 'Ow •dye do, sir. Fine day, sir. tine boat, sir. Nce gentlemanly captain. I visli I could say na much fur hall the passengers ” And ho cast a very blood-thirsty & significant glance at his timid countryman. “ I take your meaning," said tho doctor. “ Yon have been grossly insulted." “ Me and my dog” “ Twas too provoking.” "An apology, or 'is 'art’s blood !” "My dear sir, I like your spirit. With your consent I’ll wait on tiie gentleman, receive his apology or insist on a meeting.*’ ‘■You're too good, sir." “And may I ask your name!” “Tis of no consequence. At present I’m travelling incog, like rny worry good friend, the Juke of Si. James. It vili be a condes cension to meet this man, but, as the Juke says, vc can’t always valk on stilts like the French shepherds that ve saw in ’Ungary." The pugnacity of one of the parties favor ed the designs of the schemers, A duel was agreed upon, and since the doctor had pro mised to act as the second of the man with mustaohios, the midshipman could do no less than render a similar service to his timid an tagonist • R was determined on llioirarrval at New York, that they should all ascend the Hudson in a steamer, and be set ashore at a landing-place well known to the in d ly. who promised to take them to a most secluded spot. “I’m fund of seclusion,” said he to the lit lie cockney with an air of sentiment, “it’s so convenient for fighting. I’m accustomed to these things. 1 was once at a tavern, with some of my friends, when we got into a don founded aquabble. There was Jack Travers, my most particular friend, Ned Halyard, his crony Thompson, and myself. We were so hazy at the time, that the next morning none of us could tell how the quarrel began or who enacted the parts of it; but it was agreed that the lie had been given, that one gentle man kicked another,' and that somebody tbfsv a desviter at somebody else’* head, It wa* necessary to have a duel, and we drew,! iota for sides. I’nncipalsaiid seconds (ought 1 at the same time. I shot at my friend, and Ned Halyard lodged a bullet in Ins crony. Bui there was no great harm done, ami we j ahsok hands and breakfasted logoi er. We. bore no malice to each other—it was all done for the honor of the service. There was « necessity for fighting, as there is in your case j The little oookticy would fain have dispu- \ ted the proposition, but hie courage failed 1 when he heard Frank Harris talk so dashing. | ly about a duel. Arrived at the fatal battle-field, the com- 1 batants were placed in their respective sla- i tiona, and furnished with pistols by their! friendly seconds. The little cockney was pale as a sheet, and even the upper lip of the mustachioed herotwilched convulsively.‘Fire!’ cried Frank Harris in a voice of thunder. Bang ! bang! went the pistols. “ Are you hurt?” cried each second to his principal.! The replies were in tho negative. ‘‘Try it j again.” said Frank Harris fiercely, and fresh pistols were presented. This lime the hero j of the mustachioa look a deliberate mm— and missed. The little cockney railed the trigger, and down went bis great, antagonist. The seconds and the successful duelist rush ed to the spot where the -.iying man lay kick ing convulsively with a deep red stain upon his marble forehead. Like Byron’;, hero, ho exclaimed—‘‘lvcgot my gruel,” and, like Byron’s hero, too, his thought was of Ins ladye-luve. i enjoin it on you,” said ho to the victor, ‘to go to the 'ouse of Villiain Viggins, which cam't he far from'ere. Take this’ere loiter, which vas mv credentials, and show it to ’tm. Tell Miss Sarah Viggins 1 hexpired villi a wound in iny 'cd and von in my 'art—slio’ll under stand the compliment. Tell ’em I died game —ami ’ark ye, I torgivo you ’urtily. It was all my hown fault." Having wrung the hand of the repentant homicide, he closed his eyes and Iny back upon the sward. “ 'Eaven knows,” exclaimed the poor little cockney, “that I didn’t seek his life. I shut my eyes ven I fired, and I thought the bullet vouldgo over ’is ’cad.” “ You have killed your brother traveller,” said the surgeon, in a deep scpiilchurnl voice. ‘■My brother traveller !” shrieked the poor little cockney. ‘‘Yes, and that makes men fratricide.” “This is no lime fur lamentation,” said Frank Harris. “Rouse yourself. If you re solve to comply with the dying man's injunc tion, you must procure a conveyance at. the inn, where they can direct you to the house of Wiggins. As for me, I will soon meet you again. Tell the story of your victim's death, but conceal your agency in the affair. Adieu !” Tho disconsolate duellist shook tho proffer ed hand of the midshipman, and after one sorrowful glance at thu body of his victim, took his departure from the fatal spot. At the inn he was informed that Mr. William Wiggins lived in the immediate neighbor hood, and thither he proceeded on foot, mu sing, “under the shade ot mclahcnoly boughs,” upon I lie Into di-aster. “Ho from the world had cut off a groin man And what waa to bo bis reception ot the bouse of the bereaved bride. How would bet lovely bosom heave, and her beauteous eyes be filled ! with tears, ulllic melancholy intelligence which widowed her ere she had been wedded. And the heart-broken lather loo! ft would bring down his grey hairs in sorrow to the grave. In tho evejit of their discovering that he had been the desit »y vr of their bliss, wlnit would bis peni tence uno 1 tears avail? Into such a state of agi tation was the poor little cockney thrown, that upon arriving at the Wiggins’ house, ho had j hardly strength enough to pull tho door hell, j The house stood on the outskirts of a thriving ! village, and was a trim litllo box of a place, all j overgrown with v.'tios, and embosomed in foliage 1 unJ (lowers, lookin.'t out upon a pleasant Inwn. i Hut (he Utile cockney had no eyes for tho beau ties of nntute, and no liino to observe them ; for at the sound of the bell, an aged domestic appear ed at the door, and ushered the tremulous visitor into the best room of the i. ouse. Mr. Wiggins immediately entered, a porli'y little gentleman in a snulfcolured suit, with tho in igblest pair of eyes that over looked a person through. He bowed, ami wailed for the visitor to speak. “Mr. Villiam Viggins, I presume.” “ The same sit." " I come sir, to liiuform you of a.’i happy, a worry unhappy event—your son-in-law—that vas to bo—boh lord I boll dear! I never can gel through vith it. This letter” ——“ Is directed to mo! Hey? Speak fast. Lot's have it.” And as the trembling youth yiel ded up the letter, the piercing little eyes of Mr. Wiggins ran over tho lines in a minute. iNo sooner had he finished tho perusal of the letter. Jinn his laeo lighted up, mid springing forward, ho grasped tho hand of tho little cockney with warmth. “ So, you are Mr. John Smith —hey 1” “ That certainly is my name. I vender vere ho found it out," was the exclamation of the cockney. “My dear Mr. Smith, I’m so delighted to sec you—we've been long expecting you—made all tho preparation, my dear fellow—and Sarah feela ns brides expectant ought to feel, and Mrs. Wig gins is in the fidgets—but I’ll present you at • once.” i “ Mr. Viggins, you mistake henlircty.” “ No mistake at all in (he matter.” - “ 1 didn’t come to marry your daughter, but to say that her marriage can never lake place.” “What d’ye mean, John Smith 1" cried the i irascible old gentleman, bis litllo eyes twinkling i with sudden passion. “ D'ye know to whom you speak? Adsblud! I'll make you marry her. . Why, you’re mad as a March hare.” Several times did the unhappy hearer of a ton . common name attempt an explanation, but us of ten as ho essayed to speak, the singular little r oyos of the old gentleman would spmklo and light [ ,l l‘. and ho would overwhelm the wi el died Lon . donor with a torrent of high words. So tho lat ter siiho.itted at last, with forced resignation to j his fate, which is this instance seemed to hurry \ him into the arms of a very pretty girl. Both ; mother and daughter welcomed their guest with delight, and ho soon found himself at ease in their company ; hut as often as he began to speak • on the subject that lay heavy on his heart, the eye of the old man kindled up, and ho made a menacing gesture, which brought hack all the fears of the unhappy Smith. Thus beset, ho be gan to think it would not tie so very wrong to ae f cept of the wife thus singularly forced upon him. e He was in good circumstances, no obstacle'stood in his path, and it was very unlikely the affair would ever be cleared up. On the contrary, should his full confession be beard, should the l knowledge of (tie unhappy rcconlre transpire, , what had bo not to fear from tho severity of un . known laws in an unknown land ! He could not j run away, for tho biight-eyed old gentleman kept I a vgilant watch over him, and he found ho could not pass the limits ol the lawn in a morning walk - without being pursued by the aged domestic with s some message that invariably brought him track. . Therefore we should not wonder that when the i weddingday was fixed, Mr, John Smith was passive , bridegroom—-that he pronounced all the vows re . qutred by love, law, and religion ; Squire ’Cobus j liverlink kissed the bride, and was as gay as a , man in such unhappy circumstances could be. , On the morning after his marriage, to his hor , rot and surprise ho was confronted in the little parlour which had witnessed the sacred ccrcmo , oy, with his ancient antagonist, who, accompa ;i med by Harris ami the surgeon, appeared to 0 beard the bridegroom in his den. The rcsusci li tation of the largest Mr. Smith is easily account . °'l for. The mischievous midshipman had su i, P l ’ ri V' JoJ a httl® red paint to the charge of pow ’ der in tho pistols, and the appearance of this on 0 [* IC forehead of thdeoeknoy so alarmed him that he gave himself up for dead. Ho had now ar rived too late in the day. What an eclaiuciue d merit.' And the hride trembled and fainted, doubtless ? She did no such thing. But when she found that ons Mr. John Smith was quite as y respectable as the uthei-, she clung to the arm of • < Ur husband, dsclared tUt he was ths man I of her choice, that site never could have looked j ! twice npon the oiher ; and was as happy as pos- 11 siblc though naiihieo «r mistake. 11 Friday F.Vening.

To this 1 necessity he seems to have been brought by tbc , defection of Jumpier anti others, who bad previous ly surrendered, and threatened to disclose his rc i treat to Gen.

I 'This war being now concluded, a question of ' j some importance and perhaps difficulty arises.— i What is to bo done with the hordes of Negroes i B . who have from time out of mind been congrega ; ling in the Seminole nation ? Such as can be . | identified by tbeir masters, will of course lie dc - livered up: but such as cannot, and such as have been raised up there and have taken up arms against the whiles, what is to be done with them? t From the Darien Telegraph. n GLORIOUS NEWS, il imfortajVt from Florida. ; By the steamer Oemulgcc, Capt. Blankenship, r arrived yesterday, (Sunday) direct from Black s Creek, we have received the following interesting | particulars : ] On the 2d hist. Gen. Jesnp encountered Jump , | par and Alligator, who commanded a body of In , 1 dians amounting to about 10i'. The General ' routed them and took 50 prisoners. Outlie 4lli I Jumper and Alligator gave themselves up with the remnant of their band. These warriors sla ted to the General, (bat they would endeavor to bring Powell to terms, who was on an Island, in : the Withlacoocheo, destitute of provisions, and 1 ammunition, with a few devoted followers. Jumper and Alligator also stale that tho great ( cr part of the Indians were bumbled and thorough ly convinced that it was fruitless to contest any ■ longer with tho whiles. Defeated in all their en r (leavers lo obtain a supply of ammunition from i Cuba, and other places, they are, no doubt, crest fallen. Tho chiefs above named told Ocn. Jesup, I that they would, with his permission, bring in Powell, by fair moans, if possible; if not they ■ would me stratagem or force. They tendered • their families as hostages, and their oiler was ac . copied. I Gen. Jesup baa thus covered himself with glo ( ry, for there can bo no doubt that be will eventu ally have the haughty and malignant, hut truly brave Oicola, within his power. Wo are glad that Jesup has succeeded. One of our Generals, , at least, will not bo brought to a Court Martial, for not doing Ilia duly. What Clinch, Gaines, ’ and Scott, under fair auspices, could have accom plished, Gen. Jesup has been enabled to perform. 1 The stain which has blotted the national escutch eon, that of permitting a band of savages to burn ‘ our habitations, mid destroy our citizens with im punity, is at last wiped off, Our correspondents need tic under no appre hension, respecting the truth of our statements, c VVe can vouch for their general correctness.— y Tho Ocmnlgee brings official despatches from J Gen.

Mr. Benton explained that the provisions of i. this bill ns it had been framed, are the same as U those of the bill introduced last year, and that if ir adopted the effect would be to raise an army nu t, morically lo 12,000 men; but ns one-fourth might e be always estimated as unfit for service, tho cfli ), cicnl force in the Cold would not be more than i- 10,000; and this number ho considered abse il lulely necessary to be employed, to enable the >t army lo sustain itself and the country. il The details of this bill and the amendments k occupied a considerable time in the reading. The b most important feature in the bill appears to be ;. the provision that every officer without reference e lo his rank, shall receive 'an additional ration per c diem for every five years that he may have been :- in the service. At three o'clock this packet was s closed ; the Senate still in session, a HOUSE OP It KPU KSK NTATIVKS. Tat.tE or R. M. Whitney. —Tho Chair in r. formed the House that the Sergeant at Arms had e reported to him that he had now in custody the j. body of Reuben M. Whitney, and was ready to bring him to the liar of tho House, and further 0 that he had furnished the said Whitney with co j. pies of the papers specified in the resolution un [. tier which he was directed to be arraigned ; and I. on motion. It was ordered, that the Sergeant at Arms do , now bring the accused to tho bar. lt Mr. Whitney accordingly appeared st the .. bar. .. The Speaker proceeded to inform the accused ; 1 that he had been arraigned to answer for an al- | „ leged contempt in refusing to obey the summons ; „ of the Committee of the House, as a witness. ; )f which committee had been authorised to send n for persons and papers. Furtlier, the Speaker informed the accused that Si he wan entitled to be heard by counsel in his dc- d.' fence, if he pleased ; and that he win* now at li berty to make bis answer to the charge. is Mr. WiiT.nt replied in substance as follows. a Mr. Sccaueß : 1 hold in my hand a paper res- a ponding to the charge upon which lam arraigned, l( and lieg leave to uifer it for the consideration oi the tlouae, - The papet Was received and read. It states that bis retinal to attend before the committee was not intended, nor by him believed to be disrespect- ' fol lo this House. And that ho docs not believe that it can be con | sidcred an n contempt of the authority of the ® i House.— His reasons for not obeying the sum mons of the Committee had been truly stated in v his letter replying to the summons. He did not l think himself hound to obey such a summons; * j hut, notwithstanding this, he had attended before [ another Committee, and would have attended he- r fore this Committee, if he thought he could do it i without exposing himself to insult and violence, c He therefore answered to the charge of the t House, \ y-V.vsf, That the summons was illegal, and that [ the House had no power to enforce it, and Second, That he could not obey the summons t without exposing himself lo personal assault. . If the House however, decided in favor of the ( legality of the process, ha would respectfully ask, ( First, That the'Committee should lie instruct- , ed to state their questions in wilting, and he be permitted to answer them, on oath, before a mu- ( gislralc, as had been done in former eases. Second, That the House would insttuct their committee to prevent the introduction of deadly weapons into the committee room. He further asked that he might bo permitted to examine witnesses before the House, and that ho ho heard by counsel, should it become necessary. Mr. Gholson moved that the accused be now permitted to produce testimony in bis behalf. Mr. Haynes said a preliminary question of the power of the House ought first lo he decided. Mr. Palion suggested that it had been usual to prescribe some mode of conducting the trial. Mr. Uouldin saw no necessity, he said, for any further proceedings in the case. The accused said in his answer, that he was ready to go be fore the Committee, provided arms should he ex cluded. He was sure that the committee did not wish lo have any weapons. Mr. McKay was unwilling to instruct the com mittee not lo carry arms; hut he had no objection lo settling the matter by directing the inquiries to he made in writing and answered before a ma gistrate, Mr. Huntsman wished to get rid of the matter in the easiest way possible. Ho had no idea of consuming the rest of the session with it. Mr. Lincoln said that his duly, as a member of the Committee, was to offer a resolution for the arraignment of the accused for an alleged contempt; hut, after the House had adopted the resolution, he did not consider that he had any thing to do with the prosecution. He, however, in conformity with the precedents, offered a reso lution as a substitute for that proposed by Mr. ’ tiholson, directing the appointment of a select committee of seven to report Iho mode of pro \ ceeding in the trial. Pending the discussion on this question, The Speaker directed the Scrgcant-at-Arms lo retire with the accused and await the decision of the Mouse. Mr. Camhreleng opposed lha motion to ap . point a committee, as producing unnecessary dc : lay. Unless some forms should he dispensed i with, i« would he impossible to pass even the or , dinary appropriation hills for the support of the government during the present session. After some further debate, the above amend , ment was rejected, and the resolution of Mr. Cholsmt was so modified as to direct the trial to ■ proceed forthwith, by the examination of witness es, and that a committee of live be appointed to direct the examination on the part of the House. Mr. Whitney requested lime till Wednesday next to prepare fur (he examination and that the following persons be summoned as witnesses, vis : Messrs.

DISASTROUS GALE—TIIREZ VESSELS LOST. The very mild weather experienced hero for the last ten days or a fortnight was succeeded on s Sunday night by a most violent gale from the . northwest, which continued throughout that night > and yesterday. Wo have already mentioned that s the river was clear of ice from its mouth up to I Hawkin’s Point, and the effect of the gale was to [i drive the ice in the main channel and south branch . of iho river down upon the vessels at its edge, i. and thus to crush and sink them. No less than I. three were thus overwhelmed—the btig Eliza i) belli, of Poitland, with a cargo of mackerel; the a Bremen brig Column, from Turks Island, laden . with salt; and the schooner Wm. Tomkins, from La Guuyru, wi h a valuable cargo of indigo, coffee, . and hides. Wo arc gratified to bo ahlo to stale d that although the crews of the several vessels >. wore in the most imminent danger, and encoun tered the severest exposure, not a single life was n lost, i- Vestcrday morning at sunrise our estimable fellow-citizen, who has charge of the works at II Fort McHenry, and whose philanthropic spirit led j him to lake an early and anxious observation of i, ] the river, despatched lo one of the Insurance i- i offices the following notet ■- Fort McHenry, Monday, Sunrise, i I A brig is sunk about two miles below this d | The crew arc on the mast, and unless the Relief v or some, other bout is sent, they must perish. HENRY A.

His preparations lor de i, parluro were hastened, and having forced through thu ice in the inner harbor, which occasioned i- some delay, his course was taken directly to the if spot where the topmast was visible with the crew - upon it. The heavy blow and swell in the river i, made it a ,|gett*'r of no little difficulty to lake off >, the sufferers in safety, benumbed and frozen a i, most of them were; ami nearly an hour was oc cupied before the last man was got on hoard the steamboat. They were literary cased in ieo 0 from a half lo an inch thick, and some of them it had suffered greatly. Instead of proceeding to I Annapolis,as Captain Taylor originally intended, f he returned to this oily with the consent of the passengers, who united with him and his crow in f doing all their power to adininste.r to the comfort ■ of the suffefers. The passengers also generously t contributed about sixty dollars for their relief. It ■ is due to Captain Turner of the Iceboat to say t that ho went down in the Maryland, for the pur - pose of rendering such aid as circumstances might 1 require. At the commencement of the gale on Sunday i night, there were lying at the edge of the ice, be -1 j s iJes the vessels above named, ten or a dozen bay i j vessels. —What late has befallen them is yet tin ■ | certain, hut it is feared that some ol them must j have sunk. - 1 From the United states Telegraph. FINALE. —On yesterday the last net of the drama was performed, with solemn cere mony, tn the Hall of the House of Represen tatives. At 12 o’clock the Clerk of the House announced to tie Senate that all things were ' | ieady, and that the House was prepared to i proclaim our monarch in duo form. Upon this I annunciation, the Senate moved in funeral | procession to the House, with solemn steps and slow. Each member look his allotted seat in silence ; the Vice President pro tern- I pore mounted lo the s de of the Speaker, and m a loud voice informed the vast concourse I assembled of the object of this pompous page ; ant. The tellers were stationed at their proper ■ places, and the opening of the seals coimnen- I ced. Long was the ceremony, and imposing ■ the mockery ol the scene, before it was told in ; voice of authority that the Hon. Martin Van Purcnvvav elected {.’resident of the United Uates for four years, from and after the 4th lay of March next. n 'Thus ends this ni ghty business, and this 1,1 s the reward of years ot vitdfmrntion, of arts ® md intrigues, and calumny and corruption, * and falsehoods in number ten thousand times Leu thousand, and thousands ol thousands. ?or this have hundreds of honest and virtu- ous men been proscribed and persecuted ; - thousands rmned lorever; the constitution violated and trampled upon, the country ex- f cited and agitated lo its centre; private rights disr-gurded. and public liberty despised and « outraged ; the halls of the nat.oon councils filled with corruption, and the whole Union with violence and wrong ; the press subs'di- u zed and prostituted, and every imaginable species of vice, every conceivable enormity, r practised without scruple!—And this is the b return for all these things 11 Who gains ? t , Alas! the people may well enquire! Ho they t gain any thing? No, no. no. The vile and c the vicious only will reap the rewards. I hey g who have deceived, insulted and betrayed, t they only will reap the harvest. a Thus falls the curtain for the present. 1 lie I day was gloomy, the sky covered with clouds I and the mists hung darkly and dim over the t Capitol. Such atmosphere befitted the bust- l ness in hand. We regard not portents, but t wc wish that the darkness ot the day may c not be etninous of the deeds which are to bo ‘ done. Hot the curtain has fallen, and we may not look behind the scenes. Martin Van Buren is President, and R. M. Johnson Vice President of the United Stales. Ihe latter received this favor from the Senate. Par»g nubile fracleum ! From Iho Constitutionalist. LOANS OF THE CENTRAL BANK.

J -weekly paper, to be published at Eruuowt ct, £ Glynn county, Georgia. M rn VUE causes which render necessary the -■ B establishment of this Press, and its claims Ist to the support of the public, can best be pro- a sented by the statement of a few facts. , Brunswick possesses a harbor, which lor |ni accessibility, spaciousness, and security, is kr unequalled on the Southern Coast. 1 his, ot to itself, would be sufficient to render its growth hi rapid’, and its importance permanent; lor tie « best port south of the Potomac must become the site ofa great commercial city. But when a , to this is added the singular salubrity of the climate, free from those noxieus exhalations generated by the union of salt and river wa- w ters, and which are indeed “charnel airs to a white population, it must be admitted that Brunswick contains all the requisites lor a $ healthy and populous city. This much has t been the work of Nature, but already Art has begun to lend her aid to this favored spot, and the industry of Man bids fair to increase its ■ capacities, and add to its importance a hun dred fold. In a few months a canal will open to the harbor of Brunswick the vast and fer- a tile country through which flow the Altama- 0 ha, and its great tributaries. A rail road will a shortly be commenced, terminating at Fcsa- _ cola, thus uniting the waters ot the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Other rail roads intersecting the same in various divec lions, will make Brunswick their depot, and a large portion of the valley of the Mississippi j will yet find its way to her wharves. Such, j I in a tew words, are the principal causesjwhich t will operate in rendering Brunswick the prin- i cipal city ot the South. But while its advan- ! tages are so numerous and obvious, there have i been found individuals and presses, prompted j by selfish fears and interested motives, to op pose an undertaking which must add so much to the importance and prosperity of the stale Their united powers are now applied to thwart in every possible manner, this great public benefit. Misrepresentations and ridi cule, invective and denunciation have been heaped on Brunswick and its friends. To counteract these efforts by the publication and wide dissemination of the facts—to present 1 the Claims of Brunswick to’lhe confidence and favor of the public, and to furnish informa tion relating to all the great works of internal ' improvement now going on through the State, and to aid in developing the resources of Geor gia, will be the leading objects of this Press. Such being its end and aim, interference in the party politics of the day would be impro per and impolitic. Brunswick has received be nefits from—it has friends in all parties, and every consideration is opposed to rendering its Press the organ of a party. To the citi zens of Georgia—and not to the members of a party—to the friends of Brunswick—to the advocates of Internal Improvement—to the considerate and reflecting—do we apply so aid and support. J.
