Remarkable discovery.— lt is well 1
known to nur renders that amonjt tho many
inuiral cnriositipß found in the extensive caves
ami irrotloes in the vicinity of the Cirent Lau
rel Ktdge, (Cumberland Mountains) many hu
man skeletons and bones ol animals have been
discovered, some of them in a petrified elate.
These caves abound in prodigious vaulted a
partmen.s and chambers, which, .when viewed
by torcii light, exhibit scenes of gloomy gran
deur which astonish the beholder. Several
petrified trees have also been discovered on the i
banks, ol the river near this ridge, as also ;
hones of mammoths, and other animals whose
races are now extinct.
But the most remarkable discovery that has
ever been made in Ibis part of the country—
if not the greatest natural curiosity in the
world, was brought to light on Sunday, tilth
January, by two scientific gentlemen with
whom we are acquainted and who are now in
town. They have been for several weeks ex
ploring lhe caves above alluded to, ami ga
thering such curiosities as they wished to car
ry away with them.
They arc provided lor this purpose with a
boat or gum clastic, and capable of buoying
two persons With this boat, and other con
veniences procured for the purpose, they will,
undoub’i !|y, before they leave their task,
penetrate every accessible hole in the West
Cumberland mountains—for they are deter
mined to spend the whole season among them.
The wonderful discovery which will now
shortly he presented to the public is three pe.
trifled bodies entire, one es a dog and two hu
man bodies, one of them holdings spear, ft
is believed by these gentlemen that all three
of the bodies may be removed from their po
sition in a perfect state ; though the dog, be
ing in a laying posture upon a Hat roek, it will
undoubtedly bn a difficult task to remove it.
uninjured. The human bodies appear to he
those ot men—probably hunters. Their cloth
ing can hardly lie distinguished—but still it is
evident that that 100 was in a measure turned
tos lone. They ore described thus—one silting,
with the head learned as it were against a
projecting rock, and the other standing, with
a spear balanced in his hand, as though ho
was surprised, and had just started on a quick
walk. The dog lies as if couched in terror, or
about to make a spring—but the features or
body is not distinct enough to determine which
position.
This wonderful formation cannot be accoun
ted for in any other way Ilian that these per
sons wore buried by some convulsion of na
ture. The cave in which they were found is
fill! 125 feet into the mountain, and is situa
ted about a mile and a half beyond what is
called Mammoth Grotto, in a direct lino. The
entrance to the place is difficult, and is thought
that it was never before attempted to all. At
the foot of the entrance of the cave is a con
siderable brook of water, which appear to
gather from all parts of it.—Them is also
a valley thence to the river. The gentle
men who have undo this interesting dis
covery are making active preparations to
bring away the bodies, which they intend to
have forwarded to New-York.
a),rue the above was written, we have had
an invitation to vis,l the cave and bodies,
which wo shall most certainly accept. We
have hitherto declined to mention the names
of the persons to w hom we have alkidod in

Tuesday, February If>, 1837.
Mr. Hamer, of Ohio, being under examination,
and having answered the questions put hy Mr,
Whitney's Counsel, tbe following proceedings oc
curred ;
First question by Mr. Peyton. Do you un
derstand from your knowledge of the «ciilioM>« , ‘"
of the members of this House that their chief ob
ject in supporting and bringing Mr. V\ hitney >o-
House, lor an alleged contempt of Us au
thority, | tho circumstances of the oc
currence 111 (be com, room before the world,
and from all you know ou o,«i subject, do you
believe that such was the object of any portion of
the members of this House ? Jf yea, state all the
facts and circumstances upon which that under
standing and belief rests.
Mr. McKcoh remarked that he objected to tho
question, on the ground that it proposed to osk
the witness his opinions on aoertain subject. Ho
made opposition with clean hands. The gentle
man from Tennessee (Mr. Peyton) might be as
sured that he (Mr. McK.) bad no wish to extend
this investigation beyond the limits of the issue
made by the accused. He (Mr. McK.) had not
ing to do with bringing the accused to tb* l bur.
He had, from the commencement, arrayed him
self against the arrest of that individual. The
great muss of bis political friends were to bo found
in the minority on that question. If Mr. Whit
ney’s contempt, however, was to bo made the
foundation of an examination into the opinions
of members of this House, it would establish a
principle opening new issues in the present con
troversy, and leading to interminable debates ou
questions which would inevitably follow (bat now
proposed. Ho wished the matter brought to a
close. He appealed to the gentleman who offer
ed it to consider the consequence of making
inquiry into the privato, confidential con
versations of gentlemen upon this Hour. He ap
pealed to him whether it would not bo calculated
to excite feelings any other than pleasant between
those where none but those of a friendly nature
should exist! Whether it would not be convert
ing this House into an inquisitorial tribunal, em
ploying Hie torture to extort opinions from its
victims 1
Mr. P v'OO sail: The gentleman from Now
York t.Mr. M.’Keon) objetsto the question pro
pounded by me to the witness, on the ground of
form, and as calculated to elicit hearsay evi
dence. I wish, in the first instance, to set the
gentleman right in that regard. The question is
intended to bring out facts and circumstances
within the know ledge of the witness. Pacts and
circumstances going to establish what 1 Why,
whether this investigation has boon entered into
b najttle, or whether it is not rather a shameless
fraud, attempted to be perpetrated by the osten
sible accused, but real prosecutor, aided and
abetted by members of this House, to affect tbe
reputation of my friend from Virginia and myself.
That, sir, is the sciqio and meaning of the ques
tion. And here I take occasion to say, in justice to
my own feelings, no less than to those of the hon
orable gentleman to whom it is propounded, that
1 know him to be utterly incapable of having any
thing to do with this transaction; nor do I know
whether he is in possession of any facts or cir
cumstances which 1 could almost say I know to
exist, tending to prove a combination between
certain members of this body, acting in concert
with others out of it, to put my friend and myself
on trial, instead of the accused, as lie is techni
cally called. Sir, 1 wish that 1 could point them
out, but I cannot; and that is the reason why I
seek evidence to establish the fact of a conspira
cy, so unjust in its objects, so insidious in its
means to attain them, and so disgraceful to the
parties concerned.
The Chair said that it was not in order to in
dulge in reductions upon members of the House.
Mr. Yell said be would thank the gentleman
to name the members.
Mr. Claiborne, of Mississippi, united in that
wish.
Mr. Peyton resumed. I unite with both these
_ gentlemen, Mr. Speaker, in the wish which
they have expressed, I too, want names,
and 1 mean to have them, if it he possible,
Gentlemen have hcretofoie clamored for proof,
and, so at ns I am concerned, they shall
have it. The gentleman from Arkansas
(Mg. Yell) ncv-l not have assumed a sensitive-
ness, for whielt I am sdfe there is no occasion, I
j and coll on me (or names, which he must have
Iknmvfi, for I had just said, that I could not give. J
Hut gentlemen need not expect to get ol! an
I soon, and so easily a« they have probably hoped; ,
j for if this House, or rather the majority of it, do '
I not shrink ami lairk out fro n the position which
I they have taken—and I do trust that they will
| not—l dare them to stand up to it—we will, I
doubt not, have names, and farts too, amply suf
ficient to hear me out in what I have said. Jf
there ho witnesses to prove that secret conclaves
| have been held with the accused, Ac that lhis“un-
I fortunate affair,” as it has been pathetically called, i
has been thrust into this Hall, not for the pro
pose of affecting him, but of putting two mem
bers of this House upon their Irid—
Mr. Cushman called tin gentleman to order.
The Chair. The gentleman from Tennessee
is reminded that he must not reflect upon the
members of lias House, or any individual mem
ber of it.
Mr. Peyton. 1 did not allude to arty individual
member, for I have repeatedly said that it was
out of my power to do so.
The Chair again reminded tba gentleman that
he must not reflect upon the House as a body, or
upon any of its members.
Mr. Poy'on. Why, sir, it is all conjecture on
my part. Though there arc circumstances strong
enough to produce conviction on my mind, that
the conduct in this matter, 1 will not say of whom,
but of gentlemen, is in an altitude as suspicious
as the most daunting proof could place it. This
is my conviction. Hut I want the proof to sa
tisfy others. I (impose and expect—indeed, have
no doubt of being able, to prove by witnesses—
if wo can he permitted to examine them—that
there was an understanding—whether proper or
improper, I will net not say —between the said
H. M. Whitney and divers honorable members
of this House.
Mr. Y. begged leave just toask the gentleman—
The Chair interposing, raid that it war out of
order for any other rneinirsr to address the House,
Mr-Peyton. I give way, sir, with great ploa
su re.
The Chair said that it would only he done hy
general consent.
No member objecting—
Mr. Yell would then ask the gentleman from
Tennessee whether, in any part of tins transac
tion, from beginning to the end, he intended to
allude to him, (Mr. Y.) either in tiro vote which
he had given to bring the accused to the bar, or
for any oilier part lip had taken in the matter.
Mr. Peyton. I will do the gentlemen the jus
tice to sayllh.-.t I never thought of him at all;
and if he hail not interrupted rue by his frequent
calls for information, I should not have recol
lected that ho was in the House.
Mr. Yell was glad that the gentleman had in
formed the House that no intimacy existed be
tween them.
Mr. Peyton. I expect to prove, Mr. Speaker,
that this whole proceeding is a contrivance to
give Whitney the eclat and triumph of bringing
my friend and myself to the bar of this House, for
the purpose of holding Us up, sons that object
could he effected, to the indignation oftbis House
and of the country. Sir, thoio never Ims bocn
any design other titan this in getting up and caty
ing out this prosecution ; and all those patriotic
appeals, those licautilul apostrophes to liberty,
those moving pictures of a citizen in vincti/is, or
in the shambles, which, for several days post have
been addressed to our sympathies, do not in tact
apply to the accused, as he is called, but, il to
any one, are applicable to my friend from Virgin
ia and myself. Possibly, I may not be able to
to prove this ; but 1 want, at least, the opportuni
to try. And il is my purpose if permitted by tbe
House, to examine every gentleman whom I may
believe to possess any information in reflation to it.
If 1 fail then in establishing the facts, it will be in
consequence ol a want of knowledge ou the part
of the wilncsscs
llseems to me, Mr. Speaker that there can bn
no question now in regard to the teal object oi
this investigation; that it is intended to nflbel my
friend from Virginia und myself. And how does
it happen that wo are lints arraiuged before the
Congress oflhe Unites States, and before the A
merican People, for a edfitempt of 11. M. Whit
ney? Hy what indirection has it been made to
lake this direction 1 This is what l <M>«»« l ”
know, sir. And if the House will permit mo,«(
will adduce evidence so it sealable, that gentlemen
who now hold their beads high, will be made to
shrink and cower before the Public indignation.
Sir, shall I not he permitted to do this? If attacks
bn made upon honest men, in or out of this House
arethey to be denied the poor privilege of demon
strating their falsehoood ?
Will those gellcmcn who seem Jlo lake deep
and sensitive an interest in the fceli»gs and char
acter and honor—yes, sir, the honor of their
friend, deny us this privlogo ? Will they, can
they withhold it from us honorably and compati
bly with their sense of jsstico as men and as
members ! No sir,.duff vvlU not, cannot. My
purpose is to hold them up to the issuo which
they tliomsclvrs have made. lam ready logo on,
&go through- wilhjmy trial—to submit to any or
peal of investigation, however searching, which
may he forced upon me. Hut I wpntjustice dealt
out vyMi an even hand. Wo who are on trial,
oap'tot he supposed to know all the black and dis
graoefitljcircumstaneos which belong to this trans
aei ion, but we wish to prove them by witnesses,
and we will prove them, if possible, bo the conse
quences what they may.
In conclusion, sir, I repeat that I make no ac
cusations against individuals, because lam in
posossion of no fact implicating individuals hy
name. If I were, I would make it known. Bull,
reiterate, again and again, my call for the proof;
and if it be such as I believe it will be, nay, al
most know it must be, then let gentlemen, if they
can, draw the distinction between themselves and
their Jriend, 11. M. Whitney.
On motion, the House then adjourned.
EXTRAVAGANZA.
The following extraordinary passage occurs
in Guu. Gaines’ defence, delivered before the
Court Martial, ut Frederick, lie is speak
ing of his troops, ns cooped up in the Camp
on the Witlilacoochce, win, he says, “ trium
phed over the enemy; and forced them to sue
for peace; lit so doing, they achei ved at
once a triple victory ; a victory over their
wants of regular supplies—n victory over tho
savage foe—and a victory over the alto cions
machinations of tho second United Stales
general officer, who has ever dared to aid
and assist tho open enemy of the Republic, in
their operations against the United States’
forces, employed lor tho protection of tho
frontier people. The first great offender, was
Major. Gen. Ilencdicl Arnold —the second, ns
your finding must show, is Major-Gen, Win
field Scott. The letters of Gen. Scott
shall hear speak lor him.—The Court will
then see the evil and suggest the remedy.”—
This violence of Gen. Gaines does no injury
to Scott; but reacts upon himself. Who
can believe, that Gen. Scott is a traitor to his
country? That Ins conduct resembles that of
Benedict Arnold ! The very attempt to stig
matize him by such a comparison, shows the
judgement of the accuser, to be so completely
eclipsed, by the violence of his passions, ns to
disarm him of all power to injure his adversa
ry. The assertion is too extravagant to be
lieved, On the contrary, who does not be
lieve Gen. Winfield Scott to be as pure a pat
riot «s ho is a gallant soldier? —Rich Enqui
rer.
PRACTICE versus PROFESSION.
Gen. Jackson came into power promising
to retrench tho expenditures of the govern
ment. The expenditures of the year before
, his election, was somewhere about fourteen
. millions—the expenditures of the last year
, ot his administration were about forty millions.
He promised to abridge Executive patronage
—llia triends, though froquciltWcmoiistrations
have boon made upon ibis subject, have never
i permitted the passage of a law to effect this
i subject ; and the President himselt has claim
, ed and used more patronage than any of his
, predecessors. He promised to correct the e
i v.l of bringing the power and patronage
1 of the government into conflict with the free
i doiu of elections—lie has used most lavishly &
■ directly all the influence in Ins command to
| elect a successor tiom luted by himself. He t
promised to hold all pttbTto officers to a stric- <
] accountability for their conduct —lie now rc- ,
1 fuses to give information in relation to any i
of the executive departments—stimulates his
; subalterns to a like resistance, and by perverse- I
ness in this matter has rendered all tnvesti- '
gallon into the abuses of tho government
wholly ineffectual. He lias, indeed, in the
last years of his administration, repudiated by
Ilia practice every cardinal principle upon
i which his election was primarily urged, and
I abandoned every high position which endear
ed him so much to tho American people. Bet
ter had it been for his own fame if lie had
retired from office four years ago—belter had
it teen for his countrymen, if he had not left
to his snccessors such illustrious examples of
political apostacy. lie has now returned to
the ranks of the people, Already, even be
fore he leaves the chair of state, may be seen
the waning* of that power which was so late
ly omnipotent. His recommendation against
adulteration of the Tariff' is disregarded hy
his best friends. Mis Treasury order stands
repealed by that Senate who has until now
assumed the mock guardianship of his fame,
and even Mr. Ritchie dares now appeal to his
magnanimity in favor of General Scott.
Such will ever be the|fate(of those who have
lost power; and morn especially if they have
abused that, power either wilfully or from its
corrupting effects on principles too much en
feebled hy age to resist their influence.

ANECDOTE OF WILLIAM IV.
The king sometime ago accosted an old
workman who had been many years employ,

worked hero, old man, oh ?” • Why, sir,
a matter of (ivn-and-thirty years,’ replied the
old man pretending ignorance of the person
of the king.— ‘ Five-und-thirty years, eh’.—
‘Why you must have known tho king then?
‘Yes, sir,’ (returned the man) ‘and his blessed
father too, ah, sir, ho was a king, many times
when lie saw mo his biassed majesty used to
say, ’Ah ! Brown, what, at work still—there’s
a crown for you. Brown.’ Those were good
times, sir, then.’ ‘You do not know the pre
sent king, then, eh” asked his Majocty—‘No,
your honor,’ replied the wily old workman,
‘I never saw him ; but they do say ho is as
much like his blessed old parent as peas—
open & generous like, sir, you know.’ “Should
you like to see tho kind ?’ ‘Ay, that I should,
sir-’ Then take this, said his Majesty,
throwing him half a sovereign,’ ‘and if' any
body r,sks where you got it, say the King gave
it you;’ and off wont lito good-hearted mon
arch, chuckling at the idea of having stolen
a march upon the old soldier.

PROGRESS OF FREE PRINCIPLES.
Among (ho items of foreign nows, received
this morning from our attentive correspondent of
the New York Commercial Advertiser, and hy
them received hy the packet ship Poland, wc find
the following! Notices have been given in the
English Parliament,
“By the Attorney General for a hill to abolish
imprisonment for debt.
By Mr. Gioto for tho vote by ballot.
By Mr. Clay for a repeal of the corn laws.
By Mr. Ward for a reform of the House of
Lords.
By Mr. Hume for tlife extension of suffrage to
all householders.
By Mr. Ewart to abolish the law of primogen
iture.
By Mr. Lnshington fora resolution against tho
silting of Bishops in Parliament.
Hy Mr. Philips for tho repeal of the duty on
raw cotton.”
The Constitutionalist of this morning publishes
a long letter to the Governor, from Murray Coun
ty, professing to detail tho existence of a most
lawless stale of affairs there, in violence offered
to citizens and the burning of tho public arms.
Misrepresentation shall not thus stalk though tho
community, masked in the garb of virtue, while
we cun wield a pen to expose it. The public shall
know the whole.
It will be remembered that sometime in Janua
ry last wo published from the Miner's Recorder, a
Union paper of respectability printed at Dahlohno
ga, a minute and detailed account of the outrages
of Bishop, and his gang at the January Election, in
forcibly preventing the citizens from voting, and fi
nally tiring upon them with tho public arms, woun
ding two or three very severely, one of whom it is
said, has since died of his wounds. This statement
was never been contradicted—Uishop has been
called upon by tho Federal Union to do so and ho
lias failed ! Ho has admitted that the statement
was substantially time! This cun be proved.
Since he Ims loft there, warrants have been issued
by the civil authorities against those who under
his directions committed those outrages, and tho
very heart rendering detail given in the letter to
the Governor is nothing more than a partisan
statement of the circumstances of their arrest by
the -Sheriff', who was compelled to call to his aid
the posse of tho county. Wo do not justify tho
bunting of the public arms. We can excuse it!
These arms have been for throe years in tho
Isands of Uishop and by him used to overawe tho
citizens of Murray county into submission to his
will—into subjection to his authority ; and now
that the day of their deliverance from the thral
dom of this petty military despot has come, in the
moment of exultation and joy, tho citizens burn
in tbe public square, those arms which have so
long been used as the instruments of lawless vio
lence and oppression. From tho bottom of our
hearts wc excuse them ! It was indeed a day of
rejoicing, worthy of bonfires and illuminations !
The scale lias turned; through the firmness and
courage of Judge Kenan, and tho orderly portion
of the citizens of the County, the supremacy of
tho laws is once more about to be established.—
That some things nray have been done improper
ly by tho Sheriff' and his assistants is not im
probable —such things will happen; but honesty,
justice, and the laws arc triumphant.
But why has the Governor just now waked up
to a knowledge of the disturbances in Muirayja
county? Difficulties have existed there forjt
years; but while Bishop and his clan were in the I
ascendant, the Governor was deaf to all com- ] I
plaints, dead to all sympathy for those who were . i
the victims of brutal violence and lawless wrongs.
The administration of the laws has been stopped
—courts and juries broken up—the right of suf
frage violated—individuals mobbed and abused ;
and still our partizan Governors opened not their
mouths. But now that the author of all these
disorders, the progenitor of all these difficulties
has left the county, and been provided by “ the
party,” with a snug and lucrative office, our very
patriotic and sensitive Governor runs to the pub
lic press with the first letter he gets fro m one of
Bishops partizan friends, to let the public know
that disturbances all'll exist in Murray county
although he (Bishop) may have left it.
We may bn thought to speak harshly—we feci
warmly and think warmly on the sulrjoct, and wc j
arc determined that the true state of things shall |
not go untold for want of courage on our part to
expose it. We intcnil no disrespect to the Edi
tors of the Constitutionalist for publishing the let
ter, but it is a matter of astonishment, that the dif
ficulties in Murray county should have existed so
long—that so much violence should have been
done to the laws and the administration of public
justice, and that they should just now begin to
open their eyes to the fact that "that the social j
condition of Murray county is indeed truly de
plorable.”
Wo extract from the Southern Whig of Satur
day last, the following letter with a name to it,
which tells quite a different story from the Gov
ernor’s correspondent.
Frovi the Southern iVlug.
OfF" Wc hasten to lay before our readers
the following letter, but owing to the latenesa
of the hour and the want of room, we are pre
cluded from making any comment till a future
number. The letter, however, speaks for it
self. We are only surprised that the explo
sion has not taken pla :o sooner.
Pleasant Valley, Murray C’ty, Ga. )
March Ist, 1837. {
Mr. Jones. —l take the liberty of address
ing you a few lines, to inform you of the late
movements in this County. You seem to be
aware that a large part of the honest citizens
of this County,who are opposed to IV. Bishop,
were, at the last January Election, driven u
vvay from the Election Polls with the arms of
the Stale, that four or five respectable men
were fired on and wounded, some of them
dangerously. They have continued to use
them since, in order to shield themselves
from arrest and enforcement of the law, (and
in fact, have done soever since their intro
duction into this County.) However, she
citizens treated as aforesaid, took out pre
cepts for them, put them into the hands of
tho Sheriff, who euramoned in a sufficient
guard, who assembled at Spring Place at an
early hour on Monday morning hist, and suc
ceeded in arresting nine or ten of the clan
—had them examined before two Magistrates
touching tho promises, who were accordingly
found guilty and committed to Cassville Jail.
Wo also'took all the States’Muskets found in
their poaosson, about 50 in number, and com
mitted them to tho flames on tho Public
Square at noon day—sacrificing them to the
cause of liberty, upon the altar of tho public
good. We are of opinion that the Public in
their opinion will sustain us ; for it is well
known that the Governor has been well ap
prized of these arms being used in postrating
law and liberty in this County, to the annoy
ance of tho civil citizens thereof. Yet it
1 seems that his Excellency is determined to
sustain Captain—Colonel—Postmaster —Cl'k
of tho Inferior Court—County Treasurer—
Governor’s Aid, William N. Bishop, let what
may he the consequence ! But lam of opin
ion, that the citizens of this County will let
the world know that they are determined no
longer to let their liberties be trifled with by
such lawless blackguards as Bishop and his
clan, though they may lor a time bo smiled
upon by Gov. Schley, end supplied with arms
j which serves only to shield them from having
j their crimes brought to light by a fair admis
tration of the law.
I was personally present, saw the men ar
rested as above stated, and helped burn tho
guns. If any of the foregoing is worth pla
cing before the public, you are at. liberty to
use any part or all, as you think proper.
CAREY W. JACKSON.
* • * • • March 4, 1837.
MrDiunSm. —I consider this a great, per
haps a good, I hope not a bad day for tho country.
Prcsidtj.it Jackson’s time ends, and every (me
friend of ti'.’c country must hope with his time
will end mucti of that violence of tho constitu
tion and tho laws, that .has marked his adminis
tration. Posterity no doubt, will bo astonished
in reading the history of tho present day, at the
extent of tho delusion that has seized upon the
people and caused them to approve and support,
measures so arbitrary and unwarrantable, a* have
marked the course of General Jackson ; he might
have named for himself an enviable place in our
history, had he pursued the proper course—but
ho gave it all up for the purpose of securing the
caption of his successor.
Martin Van Buren goes into office to-day, but
ho goes in without that reputation that will sup
port him in “ treading in Jackson’s steps.” Ho
goes in witli tho suspicion of oven those that
placed him in, hanging upon him. All parties
and persons distrust tho man—his art and cun
ning have enabled him to triumph over the virtue
and patriotism of tho country, but a triumph
based upon such a foundation cannot but bo short
lived. There is no settled course of policy that
Van Buton can pursue that will bo popular if he
attempts to imitate and make Jackson his proto
type, be will fail for the want of Jackson’s po
pularity to sustain him, if he takes sides with
tho north, tho restless abolitionists will make him
identify himself with their cause, and if he pur
sues a course of policy favorable to tho South, the
North will abandon him. It is reasonable to sup
pose that ho will endeavor to pursue that tem
porising course that has brought him into power
—that is, ho will wink at the North with one
eye, and at the South with tho other,|and for tho
want of a third, will nod his head at the West,
with both eyes shut. A compromise policy will
suit neither portion of tho Union —the Abolition
ists, like blood-hounds have started their prey,
and like them will continue tho pursuit— they
have a right to expect that Van Buren will favor
their views. Tho South, fond of her own rights
and institutions, will never yield them to be med
dled with by the North, and has an equal, if not
superior right, to suppose that Van Buren will
favor her rights—thus we see Van Buren's cri
tical, if not awkward, situation.
This is a great day for the whole country; for, ,
having different men and dlflerent metres to ,
contend with, there is some hope that the virtuous I
and patriotic of the country, have some chance 1
to arrest for awhile at least, the stroke that seems
to threaten tire integrity of the Union. The at-
tachmcnt of the south to the Union has been i
a question; would any other portion of the
Union have done less towards its dissolution than !
the South, had they been annoyed and oppresed J
as much ! What portion of the Union has made t
as extensive sacrifices to preserve the integrity of I
tho Union, as the South ! Has not tho South j “
been galled and chafed by tho unjust Tariff sys
tern that drank up her life-blood I Would any 1(.
other portion of the Union have borne as much -
for i s preservation 1 Are not the Abolitionists
now doing us so much mischief that every slave
holder amongst us is required to be a sentinel,
: upon the watch for their emmissaries amongst usl
, Suppose that the South had said to the North, we a
I require that all your manufactories should be bus- j
pended ; that not another ship should sail from ]
your ports—you arc owning property and doing
a business that conflicts with our views of pro- n
priely, would there not be as much reason in the J
requirements of the South as there arc in those .
of the North, in interfering with our domestic 1
policy 1 every one must see there would be; yet ■
how preposterous would be such a demand. Sup- ■
pose the South should go further and petition
I Congress to curry her exactions upon the North
! into execution and Congress should show a ‘
strong inclination to sustain the views of the
South, under such circumstances would the North '
do less than the South has dune in her own de
fence, and for her own preservation 1 <

NEWS FROM FLORIDA. i
We hope that there may be no mistake in the \
following news which we copy from the Savan- i
nah Georgian of day before yesterday. Osceola |
it seems, although it is reported that he was ac- i
caned of cowardice, is the only one of tho chiefs :
who yet dares to brave the power of our govern- .
ment.
From the Savannah Georgian.
By the steam boat Free Trade, Capt. ,
Crosswell, arrived yesterday afternoon from
Gary’s Ferry, wc are indebted to our corres- '
pendent of tfio Jacksonville Courier for a Slip
containing the following intelligence, which
we hope may prove true.
GOOD NEWS !—BETTER NEWS 1—
BEST NEWS ! — THE PROSPECT BRIGHT.
WAR AT AN END.
Through the politeness of Col. Dell, of this
place, wo are favored with the following intel
ligence just arrived from Black Creek.
The intelligence contained in the letter of
Mr. B. M. Dell is confirmed by that brought
by the steamer Free Trade, also just from the
same place. The Bourse from which this in
• telligonce comes, entitles it to credit. If Mi
canopy and Phillip have unqualifiedly surren
dered, the war is indeed over, and Gen. Jesup,
by his success and the amende honorable
lately published, has covered himself with
glory.
To the Editor of Ihe Conner. —
Sir : —I send you the enclosed letter from
my brother at Black Creek. It contains
gratifying information. Y’ou arc welcome to
it for publication, if you think proper.
Respectfully, yours, &c.
JAMES DELL.

Dear Brother:—An express arrived at this
, place 13 o’clock last night, bringing this
i agreeable intelligence from Geu. Jessup, that
. the war is in reality closed. The Indians
; have given up—have surrendered. All the
: chiefs, but Oscola, have come .hi, and have
; consented to removal. All are to assemble
at Tampa Bay by the tenth day of’April next,
prepared for removal to their western homes.
The Indians say that Oseola is on tho Suwa
■ nec, and that they will bring him to Tampa
\ Bay by the 10th April. In great haste, or I
would write mure fully,
j Yours, &o. BENNGT M. DELL.

t SIX DAYS LATER FROM FRANCE.
By the Havre packet ship Poland, Paris
t papers to the Oh of February have been re

r the 4th inclusive.
s The French journals bestow much corn
i ment upon the total omission of all reference
s to France, in the King of England’s speech
at the opening of Parliament.
The English ministerial journals sneak very
guardedly iLi relation to the capture of the ,
• Vixen, by the Russians. The Morning Chron- j
i iclc, after stating tho questions involved in ,
■ this affair, concludes with an intimation that ;
i the British government will probably demand
explanations, and this expression of its own ,
opinion:—“ We may be in error, but it ap- ,
pears to us that the seizure of tho Vixen can *
in no way be justified.” The Chronicle is ]
• understood to be the ministerial organ.
Tho King and crown prince of Prussia, had i
, both undergone an attack of the grippe, but ’
were convalescent on the 27th of January. i
The King and Queen of Greece arrived at I

, There was a species of riot at Lyons on the 1
26th cf January, in which two or three sol- '
diers were wounded, and a largo body of
1 troops bivouacked for the night in the public *
1 square. The origin of the disturbance was *
a charivari. 1

An attempt was made to assassinate the -
Sultan of Turkey, by an ex-Janissary, who
shot at him with an air-gun. The assassin a
and nine accomplices wore tied in sacks and c
thrown into the Bosphorus. b
Prince Ferdinand, husband of the Queen g
of Portugal, was insulted by a Frenchman
named Mercier on the 23th of January, who n
threw a large stone at him ; it did not strike t!
the Prince, who was on horseback. Mercier p
was seized. He had been an ensign in tho v
Queen’s service, and was supposed to be in- c
sane. t;
The Portuguese Cortes commenced its sea- r
sion on the 26th of January. The Queen, “
who, by the way, is said to promise an heir to S

A notice of motion was given in the House j
of Commons, relative to the seizure of the

The claim oflbe United Stales, under the "
will-of Mr. Smithson, came before the Rolls q

MONEY MATTERS,—There is no disgui
sing the fact that money is hard to be obtained
in this, as well as in Now York, except upon the
very best paper, at enormous rates of interest.
Saturday was what is, in common parlance call
ed a “ tight day—great deal of paper remained
unpaid in Bank at ten minutes before 3 o’clock,
and yet it was taken up some way or other. Wo
are glad to see a determination manifested on the
part of our merchants to meet their engagements
honorably, at almost any sacrifice ; and yet there
is a point beyond which they cannot go, and we
would caution money dealers, those who have
money to loan, not to be too greedy or avaricious
lest they bring about a state of things in which
they themselves must bo the principal suffer
ers.
We hope this hint will not bo lost upon them,
for if it is,we shall bo obliged to speak more plain
ly'and tell them unwelcome truths.
Letters from New York represent the state of
things there as very gloomy and almost without
the prospect of relief, and groat fears are enter
tained lest there will he a general rupture before,
relief can bo obtained. Merchants in that city
as well as hero, had looked to lie relieved by
payments from the Western and Sourthern men
in the months of February and Match ; but in
this they have been much disappointed. We
understand that largo amouuts of drafts drawn on
the South and West have been returned protes
ted, and to bo provided for; this produces great
embarrassment and pressure, In addition to this
;;iany Southern gollcmcn have come on with the
bills of “tho Missisippi and Alabama Railroad
and banking Co.” which are made payable at the
Girard Bank in tiii? city, and the Merchants’ Bank
in New York, and which was not worth a
groat.
A premium of two or three per cent, has ul
many instances been paid for these bilis, under
the expectation that, being payable in Philadel
pho and New York, they were current here;
whereas no funds have ever been placed in either
city for the redemption of a single dollar; and
those who have been saddled with them on ar
riving here, instead of being ablejto pay their debts
as they expected, find themselves without a sin
gle dollar—for this paper is no bettor than “Old
Continental.”

J nested that persons sending mores, will send a note
or the season and a pedigree of the marc. t
John Bascombe never liaving covered, his powers
1 as a foal-getter are, of course, unknown ;
therefore, ns do not prove in foal, shall have the
benefit of another season, free of charge. Messrs,

and Stables, for mares that may be sent to remain

Every care and attention will be taken to guard
against accidents or escapes, but no liability will be
i incurred for cither. A report having gained circula
tion that John Bascombe would not cover, 1 take
litis method to contradict it, so far as lie has not re
fused.
i PEDIGREE.—John Baseomho is a light chesnut,
fifteen and a half hands high, fine bone and muscle,
with very superior limbs and action, six years old

1 great grand dam was old Sharaerkin, who was got

Bascombe’s performance on the Turf are of so re

has never lost a heat since ho lias been in my hands. ,
