The two rival bands, however, had not Innjr

their ancient jealousy hopun to Ureal nu’, in a

The Shoshuniea went struck with the novel

it with apird. They began to observe the
Monday* and holidays, and to have their de

innnials; about winch Ihe ignorant Euta.vs
knew nothing, while they exerted I heir usual
competition in shooting and horse racing, and
the renound game of hand.
Matters were going on thus pleasantly, in
tlri* motley community of white and red men,
when, one morning, two stark free trapper*,
arrayed in the height of savag: finery, and
mounted on steeds ns fine and fiery ns the n
selves, and alt j ngling with hawk bolls.cnme
galloping with whoop and halloo, into li.c
camp.
They were fresh from the winter encamp
ment of the American Fur Company, in tno
tlrecn river valley; and had conic to paj f aoir
old comrades of Captain Honncvtli’s coni pan
a visit. An idea may he formed from the
scenes we have already given of convivnlity m
the wilderness, ot the milliner in which those
gamebirds were received by those of their
leather in tho camp. What feasting—.vlint
revelling— .vital boasting—what bragging—
what ranting and roaring, and racing mid
gunbhng, and aquibblmg and fighting,easu nl

plosion ol'giis, and not of steam, that caused
the accident.—A r . Y. Slur,
A hasty oi tide had been written on Ihe
subject from recollection of the content*, Ihe
article not being then before me. On n sub
sequent reference to its contents, it wyis
deemed advisable to give Ihe. arliclc itarlf, and
acco npany it with such observations us had
occurred on its first perusal, which were os
follows:
* Or. Dalton Ins given his opinion that
•hypdrogen and carbonic acid gas were gen
erated in the boiler by water being thrown on
not coals.' Now, that carbonic acid gas, (.1
there really wore hoi exile below tlic boiler a*
the itateinent only lias ‘hoi ashes,’) the heaviest
of all the gasra, or even hydrogen, tho light
est, should ascend through a keyhole, one and
a lids inches diameter, may well surprise us,
and as carbonic acid gas operate* a* an exlin
t gin her of flame, nis difiuu'.t to conceive how
i it i onUI aid m the explosion.
t "But is not the phenomenon easily accoun
ted for by the fact that, after the water bad
- issued through the hole made by removing the
plug, at the bottom of the ho ler, a sulliciency
of steam would remain to resist the pressure
of the utm mplicre. Tint this would remain
fur some lime at a high temperature, equal to
that of the boilo —that m such a stale the
oxygon eoiitainod iu tho water, (when in a
high stale of rarefaction,) would rapidly com
bine with the iron of the toiler, and hydrogen
g.is be disengag'd; and which would remain
in the bo ler until coming in contact with a
stream of atmospheric air, admitted upon
opening the man hole anil the llunc ot the
candle, an explosion would immediately take
place."
Since writ ing tho foregoing, Inm fortified
in my opinion ny a comminii alion ol Dr.
Whitehead, published in the National Intelli
gem or some short time since, on the subject
of the explosion of iron boilers, which he at
tributes solely to the foundation of hadrogon
gas from (lie decomposition of s eam by the
oxydiilioii ot Ilia interior surface of the t oiler.
in one tiling, however, I apprehend Dr.
Whitehead is m error—he suppose* Unit, it
will ho sulficieMt to produce on explosion,
“that the temperature al mu bu raised to a
certain point.” No degree of temperature,
however, even to a white heat, will cause hy
drogen g u to explode, union < it conies In con
tact with oxygon. At a red heat it decompo
se* tho oxydes of iron. On this subject, 1 ro

It might very easily bo shown that what is at
tributed to paper as a peculiar fault is equally, or,
rather, in a greater degree, applicable to a gold
and silver currency, if applied to the same extent
of transaction-*; because gold and silver, a« a com
mercial commodity a* well as instrument, lias its
nnchilioris in value. And, again, it might be
contended that these (Inelalions, in a scries of

of production. Uni that is a question which we
have no lime to enter upon now, our present pur
pose being to point to the absurdity of the radical
Dcntonian outcry in favor of gold ami silver,as the
democratic currency. It is all stuff—paltry and
miserable dernagoguoism—addressed only to ig
norance, and idleness, and vice. There could not
ovist a rrpulicun government in this country with
out a paper money currency. A resort to a hard
money currency would make paupers of every
working limn in the country. It would send la
bor either,to the poor-house or chain it to the prin

AUGUSTA, August 15, 1637.
-1/r. Dili lor —A few months ago some of the
friends of Temperance,made great demonstrations
of their real in the cause of reform. Meeting*
were called, speeches were made, and indeed a
new Society formed on tbc principle of total cb
stinente. Now from all this one would have
supposed, that some v slide exertions would have
been made to arrest what oil afin.it i* a growir.g i t
evil in our City—that frequent meeting* of the |'
Society would have been called—that discuaaion
would have been elicited and invited—that those
favorable to the cause, would have at last bad
tendered to them an opportunity of manifesting
it, l«y subscribing the pledge, and that by aomc
means or other the subject would have been kept
constantly in agitation, and held up before the
mind of this reflecting community. But instead
of this, what Ins actually been the case I—Tho So
ciety has pci hap* met once or twice since its orga
nization ; —but it would seem to little purpose. |
The zeal of its friends seems to have waxed cold j
and the lethargy of death to have settled upon i
their energies. Ought this so to be! Docs not j
, consistency require of these loncd temperance j
| men to be more active! Have they berome I
ashamed of this new doctrine, and despaired of |
j its success 1 Else, why do they fold their hands! ,
* Why are they so silent! Why put their light ;
j “ under a bushel” ! Tho truth is, Mr. Editor, I |
j like to sec men act up to their professions, and I !
! always did condemn that ephemeral zeul, which
i is too characteristic of some of our loudest phi
lanthropists.
Sir, 1 am a friend to the temperance cause, —I
believe that even in a temporal point of view, it
deserves the continuance and support of every
patriot. Its success is intimately connected with (
fie stability and purity of our civil institutions — |
is most closely interwoven with the destiny and (
happiness of the rising Youth of our land, and
upon It depend the peace and felicity of many a
domestic circle. Its object is noble. It is to ex
terminate a vice which must poison all the foun
tains of morality—of social enjoyment, and che
rish a cankar worm which, will ultimately de
stroy the vital energies of the nation. Can any
one doubt it!—Let him read Mr. Wise’s letter and
solemnly ponder on the startling facts which he
discloses, concerning the dissipation of Members
of Congress. Where is the safety for our liber
ties, when our representatives an devoting their
time and talents to Bacchanalian revelry, mid
that too at the expense of the people’s money, in- j
stead of endeavoring to facilitate the bush css of
the Country by the punctuality of their attend
ance and the wisdom oflhcir deliberations ;
I have said Sir, the object of the temperance re |
formation is a noble one! I repeat it. And I|
am not disposed to be very particular about the |
mode of accomplishing it. It does not matter so
much whether the friends of temperance adopt—
the old pledge, or the piincipla of total abstin
ence. I will co-operate with them in cither or
both methods. But what I desire, is, to see
them active and consistent. They owe it them
selves, and they owe it to the community, will
they not arouse from their slumbers.—Will not
the offices of the Societies order a meeting at as
early a period as possible ! As men engaged in
tiro work of reform, let them consider their re
sponsibility.
A FRIEND OF TEMPERANCE.
From the Savannah Georgian, August 15.
Fiiom Floiuda. —By the steamer Charleston,
Capt. Bennel, arrived on Saturday from St. Au
gustins, accounts from Fort King to the Blh inst.
have been received. Every thing was quiet.—
Wc arc informed the Chiefs have given orders
to their young men not to niolcal the whites on
any account, and that an express having lost his
way, was fallen in with by a parly of hoslilcs,
who conducted him to the road that led to Fort
King. There was a report, tho’ not believed,
that the Seminole* intended to send a deputation
to Washington. The gale did very little damage
at St. Augustine, the whuff was overflowed by
tire tide and the young orange trees much injured
by the wind.
On the llth inst, tho Charleston passed at
Fire Pond near Darien, the sehr. Wash ngton, of
Portland, dismasted, did not learn where from.
The steamboat Chatham was still ashore, when
the Charleston passed her. The sloop reported
ashore on Tiger Island, is the sloop Washington,
Capt. R.affel of this port.
From the Mobile Cum. Ilegider, August 14.
The U. H. Sloop of War Vaniialia, Com
modore Thomas Crahb, arrived at Pensacola on
Saturday morning from Vera Cruz—from which
port she sailed on the 3d inst. By the steamboat
Champion which left Pensacola yesterday, came
over to this city on his way to Washington, Mr.
Koiieut Gueekuuw, a passenger in tho Vandal
ia, who had been despatched by our government,
with important communications for that of Mexi
co. He left the city of Mexico on the 30th Ju
ly la-t, at which lime all was tranquil through
, out the interior, so far as publicly known. San
ta Anna was tending quietly at his plantation
Memga tie Clavu near Vein Cruz; the rumors re
specting the despatch of troops to apprehend him,
are unfounded.
Mr. Ghekniiow relates, that when about to
leave Jalaps, at 3 o’clock on the morning of the
2d instant, a violent earthquake occurred, which,
on his arrival at Vera Cruz, he learned had cau
sed much damage to tho city, and produced the
utmost consternation among its inhabitant-, ma
ny of whom took refuge on board of the shipping
in the liaihor. The shock was felt on hoard of
the Vaml ilia, about which it occasioned much ag
itation of the water, and shook tho chain cables.
The Vandalia remained for twenty one days at
anchor iu the narrow pass between the island of
Sacrificious and the main laud—and her crew
enjoyed better health in that situation, than at
any other period of tho cruise—although the yel
low fever was raging in the city.
There is no prospect of an invasion of Texas,
and certainly not the remotest chance of success
if the attempt should ho made.
From the Baltimore Chronicle,
Value or the Public Revenue. —The value
of the public Revenue, as formerly collected and
kept, consisted not only in furnishing the Gov
ernment the means of paying its debts, increasing
the navy, strengthening the defences and develo
ping the resources of the country, hut also in the
ahhlity which it gave to the Banking institutions
in which it was placed, to foster and support the
enterprise and industry ofihe merchants by loans
and accommodation. In Mr, Hamilton’s report
upon Public credit this is rlated as one of the
, chief advantages ofa National Bank. In all the
schemes for keeping the public Revenue, which
have been since suggested, it has been deemed a
cardinal principle that it should be so employed,
as long as the Government did not actually need
it, as to benefit the community. Even in thear*
rangements of Mt/I’anex, at the (imeofthe sub
stitution of the Stale Banks for the Bank of the
United Stales, this use of the public funds was
contemplated. J’o prove this, it is only necessa
ry to cite the annexed letter to the Girand Bank,
dated
Thea svht Department,
September 25. 1833. 3
bin : Tlie Guard Dank haa been selected by
this department as the depository of the puhlt;.
money, collected in Philadelphia, and its vicinity,
and the collector of Philadelphia will hand to you
•he form ofa contract, proposed to he executed,
with a copy ot his instructions from this depart
ment. r
in selecting your institution, as one ofihe sis-,
cal agents of the government, I not only rely on
its solidity ami established character, as affording
a sufficient guaranty for the safely of the public
money entrusted to its keeping, but I confide also
m its disposition to adopt the most liberal course
which circumstances will admit towards other !
moneyed institutions generally and particularly
to those in the city of Philadelphia. j
J be dcposilcs of the public money will enable j
J on to atliird increased facilities to commerce, and
to extend your accommodation* to individuals.!
And as the Julies which aie payable to the go
vernment arise from the business and enterprise
«l the merchants, engaged in foreign trade, it is !
Unit reasonable that th-y should to p tferred iu 1
J
the *<Ulilioaal accommodation which the public *
deposits* will enable your institution, to giro
them whenever il can l>c done, without injustice ■
to the elaimt of other classes of the community.
I am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant, T
R.B. TANEY, 7
Secretary of the Treasury. 5
To the Prcs’t, of the (iitard Bank, Philadel
phia. , .
There cannot Ire the least doubt that it is to
this use of the public funds that a considerable v
share of the commercial prosperity of this conn- j
try is owing. But, what is the proposition now 1 ><
What disposition is it proposed to make of the li
1 public funds now 1 Are they lobe loaned out, P
! upon adequate security, for the good of the com
inunily and the advantage of the government 1 j,
I Not at all. The ‘‘accommodation” which Mr. a
Ttsrr thought it hut reasonable should he cx- v
i tended to the merchants and others, is lo he en
• tircly withdrawn, and the public revenue, no mat
| ter how far il may transcend the wants of the gov- j
' eminent is lo he locked up, to mould, idle, and n
| unproductive, in the vaults of the Custom Hous- -
! ns, and such other depositories as, in the opinion
j of the Secretary of the Treasury, may best secure
it from the depredations of the midnight robber. j
We do not hesitate to say, that in no other r
country in the world, would such an abandon- c!
memos the interests of the comthunity be lolera- t
ted a single hour. If the Executive of England, c
in a moment of caprice, were to withdraw the ,
public deposiles from the place where they are j
employed to swell the channels of trade and sus- ,
tain the enterprise of the country, the hour that t
1 witnessed the promulgation of the mandate to t
j the world would witness the downfall of the au
thority of the monarch who should thus contemn
the interests of a whole people.
