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.

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 year*, do not affect injuriously the average value 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 cely err* of feudal lords.

[roa Tuz cmriiniclk ixn sentinel.] 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.
