'•Air. Laum own.— Tito city na« been r.fc With reiHiKs for a tew day» pail, in relation to the alleged-ml’iical defalcation of Mr. Cal houn. Tire whole it mount of the matter is, that somo three or four years ago Mr. Cal houn avowed a desire to see 0 separation he. tween the tiffins 1 f the banka and those of th nation; Si when Mr. Van Bore i’s Mos.-age was first read, he remarked the coincidence nl oji.n ioa between certain passages of that Me sage and his lormerly expressed notions. As to his going over, body and soul, to the Van Bo ren parly, wo put about as much taith in it, os wc d d about the celebrated muon a'ory that originally appeared in the New York Sun. From the Mobile Examiner, B rjit I'JIA. “John C. Calhoun. —The report is cur rent in the express slips received within the last two days, that Mr. Calhoun approves ot the recommendations of the President. The report is not sufficiently authenticated to create a firm reliance on its imih ; but from our knowledge of Mr. Calhoun—from hia uni form independence am) noble, unvucitlating patriotism—we are half inclined to belief that the message of President Van fluren emho dies many of hla del.berate op niona. • ♦ • • “We sincerely hope tlic report may be cor rect. It will give the world and Ins country men another striking example of tho disinter ested patriotism and nolilo independence of this distinguished individual—a man limn whom there is not a greater or belter living —a man who has been wronged, deeply wron ged by Ins countrymen, and to whom motives arc si ill imputed which never had birth in a mind to high and holy as his. Mr. Calhoun is not wronged by those alone who d sagrec with him politically. The party who assume to claim him na their leader—but who find Ins course 100 pure and dismteicstcd to fol low—are of all others his worst enemies. Many ofthem load his name wiih their nar row, mercenary views, and send it over the world to bo laughed at and ridiculed by Ins foes; wli.le at tho same time they have no more comprehension ol the mighty workings of nis mind, than haa the meanest reptile that floats in the caverns of the groat Atlantic, of tho depth and breadth and chemical nature of the clem’ill that surrounds if.” After proceeding thus far, sir, I had the plea sure of receiving and perilling Mr. Calhoun's speech of ihc 19th inst, which is really a magni ficent production—beaming with light and knowl edge—St. strongly reminds me of ihe remark of one ol Virginia's most distinguished statesmen, three years ago, who, after expressing his decided dif ference from Mr. Calhoun on the Huhject of nul lification,observed thsl bis great forte was finance, on which he was far supeiiur to any man m ibis country—probably unsurpassed by any one in any other, of either present or past limes, ami that his really wond rful kno t ledge on it would, lie be lieved, yet astonish both the country A Ihe world. l'o use the language of tho Itrformer, in which I find the speech, “nonet delivered in either House ofCongress,since the foundation ofthe Gov ernment, haa (icon more important,or more descrv ing the profound attention of the people. With a power peculiarly his own, Mr. Calhoun has reduc ed the abstract & mysterious science ol credit,cur rency, and finance, down to tho aeope of common minds; and, by removing the veil which bat here tofore rendered it so obscure, enabled all w ho read to understand the value of Government credit. It will be aeon that hr proposes to secure the benefit of that credit to tin; lUtitllllt IMllrtMl nsMslll it as* , and, by separating the Government from Banks, and aubstiluling a Government currency for the bank currency, to supersede the necessity of u reunion."—l earnestly hope that every individual, in justice, not merely to Mr. C.dlf in, but t,.;.J m . • elf, will icad this spec It, bof.■ 11; he de n U-, up,,., ! the important matters so ably oh id.md n !l; ,| ; before taking leave of it for the p.. . u I :, ■ ioh nil to the reader one 01 1. o< \ nets. ! , ,ng I immediate 11 fcrence to the gen ..1 »utj. cl ,1 11 1 article. In speaking il Ids opposition to a Nu. tumid Bank, Mr. Calhoun says, • i Msi| to the Slav Rights patty, which, at all limes, from Ihe he. inning of the Government to thisdsv. ha- been upraised to such mi insli'u min, us uncoil dlullonal, inexiieiliem, and dan gemus. They halt eicr dreaded the union of tbc political and monied power, and (he centra; action of Ihe Government to which it so strongly tends; and, at all limes, have strenuously resis ted their junction. Time and experience have confirmed the truth of their principles; and this, above all other periods, ia tho one at which it would lie m*«* dangerous to depart from them. Acting on them, I have never given iny counte nance or aupport to ojNstional Bunk, hut under u compulsion which I tell to be im|irrious, and ne ver without an open declaration of my opinion us unfavorable to a Bank. • In suftpurting thu Bank of 181(5, I openly de clared that, aa a question ile novo, 1 would be de cidedly against the Bank, and would lie lire last to give it my support. I also slated that, in sui>- poning the Bank then, I yielded to the necessity of the case, growing out ofthe existing and long established connection between the Government and Ihe banking system. I took the ground,even at that early period, that so long ts the connec tion existed—so long as the Government received and paid away bank notes ts money, they were bound to regulate their value, and had no alterna tive, Imt the establishment of a National Bank. I found the connection in existence and es tablished before my lime, and over which I could have no control. 1 yielded to the necessity in order to correct tho disordered slate ofthe cuncn ey, which had fallen exclusively under the con trol of Ihe States. I yielded to what I could not reverse, just aa any member of Ihe Senate now would, who might believe (bat Louisiana was un constitutionally admitted into the Union, but vvhu would, nevertheless, leel com|K-lleJ to vole to ex tend the laws to that Star, as one of its members, on the ground that its admission was an act, whether constitutional or unconstitutional,which he could not reverse. In 1834,1 acted in conformity to the same prin ciple. in pro;.osing the renewal of the Bank chat ter far a abort period. My oljact, as expressly avowed, was to use the Bank to break the con nexion between the Government and the bank ing sy «lem gradually, in order to avert Ihe ca tastrophe which has now befallen us, and which I Ufii dearly perceived. But tbc connection, which 4 believed to b- irreversible in 1816, bar 1 now been broken by oiieraUon of law. ll is now an open question. I feel myself free, for the first lime, to choose my course on (hie im)>orUnl sub jeel, and, in opposing a Bank, I act in conformity to principles which 1 have entertained ever since I have fully investigated the tulyect.” • • • • This pro|K> «J ta-urganixaiiun has been called 1 a sub-treasury; an unfortunate word, calcula ted to mislead and conjure up difficulties and dangers that do not in reality exist. Bo far from 1 an experiment, ot tome new device, it is only returning to the old mode of collecting and dis bursing public money, which, for thousands of ! years, has been the practice of all enlightened people till within the last century. In what manner it i* intended to reorganize 1 lit* treasury by the bill reported, I do not 1 know. J have been 100 much engaged to read 1 B; and I can only aay, that lor one, 1 ahull 1 assent to 00 arrangement which provides for a ! treasury hank, or that can be perverted into one. ' Nm wilt 1 give my assent to any arrangement • which shall ad 1 the least unnecessary pa’ronage I 1 ant the sworn toe to patronage, and have dune as much ami antlered as much in resisting it, as any one. Too many years hive passed over me to change, at this late day, my course or princi i But I will nay, thst it is impossible *0 to i»ut/.a the trruvuty for the performance of its 11 Junctions as tu give the Executive 11 tenth j pall ol tl.c patronage it will lose by the proposed separation, wincli. when the hilt for Ihc rcorgalt 1 ration c ones op, i may hive an opportunity to , show. llt jvb ventured this assertion after much | reflection, and with entire confidence in its cor rect neas. But something more must lie done besides the reorganization ol the treasury. Ultdct the reso- J lotion of IHIIi, banknotes would again lie r<-ctiv. . cd itt the dues of Ihe Government, if the banks should resume specie payments, Tbc leg I, us well ns the actual connexion, must bn severed. But I sin opposed to all liursli 01 precipitate mea sures. No great process eon be effected without a shock, hut through Ihe tigeney of time. I ac cordingly propose to allow lime for ihc final sepa ration ; and with (bis view, I have drawn up an amcris'meni to this bill, which ! sha I offer at the prujier time, to modify the resolution of 1810, by providing (but alter the Ist of January next, three-fourths of all aunts due to Ihe Government may be received in the notes of specie paying banks; and that after the Ist of Jotiuaiy next following, one half; and after the Ist of January next subsequent, one-fourth ; and after the Ist of January next thereafter, nothing but the legal currency of the United Huics, or bills, notes, or ps|ier issued under their authority, and which may by law be outhoiizcd to be received in their dues." ■" I perceive, air, by another letter of your cor resftondent, dial our Senator, Mr. K ng, declared himself greatly thocked by the remark ol Mr Calhoun, that he could not consent to give the Pennsylvania Bank of the United Hlates a tri umph over tho Government. I have much res pect and regard for*Mr. King, as an honest, inde pendent, fearless, and patriotic politician ; and however I may differ limn hia views on the mes sage of the President, they ate too strongly marked by (lie tpialilics referred to, and now so rarely manifested by our public men, not to com mand my esteem and admiration. But, exercis ing nit eqoal tight to judge, mid express tny judgment, I must -ay that ihc very sentiment which ahocked him, was in my estimation ex ceedingly noble and patriotic. It went at once to my heart, and elevated Mr. Calhoun greatly in my regard. It proved him above the narrow, selfish prejudices of /mi I;/ —or personal hate— (bat he looked on the contest between the Bunk and (be Administration, us u patriot, not as a parlizan, and properly discriminated between the approved (Javei nmcnl of hit country, and Ihc 1 turn who administered and abused it. I, sir, you • know, am 11 A'nllifiei —an alleged “ rebel, trai tor, and disuiUonisl”—and though as ready now . ns ever to resist tyranny, oppression, and ucur; u -1 lion, in any shape, ycl so long us that Govern ment is the one of my choice, however tem porarily |iervcrted by bad men, I, like Mr. Gal , liouil, cun never consent to Itnm'ile it, and the 1 country,in the eyes of the win Id, before a monied ’ moim/ioly—a hem Hear, rondeau utr/ioration.' 1 And is this, sir, a sentiment to shack men !—a . Union man, 100, /me excellence, who once, in , bis holy horror of toy imagined enmity to thu l 1 Government, andjn reply to a laughing hinMhul his excited feelings and prejudices were misap plied, for I doubted not that wo should ycl meet again in political as well ns personal burmuny 1 and friendship, told mo (bat when we tlid meet again, he expected it would he award in hand! But what did Mi.

Lot thorn remember that tho principles of the Message have always been their principles, and the Sub Treasury system their system, since the adoption of the constitution— that those principles and that system, as embodied to Mr. Gordon's resolutions, and set forth in the speeches ol Messrs, Leigh, Calhoun and, others, received their general approval, and tho almost unanimous vole of their members in Congress, in 1834—that they have always I told a National Bank to be unconstitutional, inexpedient, and dangerous, and that tbc Iramcrs of tbc constitu- | lion never contemplated any connexion between ( the Government and Banks, or Bank|)tapcr, or the use of any money by the former, hut hard money, ( Arc they prepared at once to abandon lltesebmg cherished principles, without reason, ami just as . they are alrout to triumph, merely because an opponent ia forced into their support and advoca cy! They are not, they cannot lie. Such child- ' ish folly becomes not men of so Jong (tied and 1 true a faith; ami if any one of them should doub, or hesitate, let him read Mr. Calhoun’s splendid ' and conclusive speech, and he will sec reasons j enough to be more proud of them than ever—to cling to them and advocate them more devotedly j and pcrseveiingty. In conclusion, 1 beg leave to observe, that lam 1 no partisan of Mr. Calhoun, and (hough 1 agree ( with him in this matter, have frequently dificred ( with him as o|teidy and decidedly, as you know, , sin And if I have voluntarily stepped forth to vin- , dicate him, it is alike in vindication of myself, and ' my principles, which arc equally assailed, and in • that spirit which I trust will always Ire equally 1 prompt in behalf ofan opponent us a friend— the , spirit of truth rind justice. rUBI.ICOLA. I I’- —May 1 beg the favor of vou, sit, to ro- , publish in your v aluable paper, os soon us convc iiionl, the accompanying aruefo iff Mr. John JL ricasanls, on the Sub-Treasury system,—an at tide scarcely second in ability tu the sjrccch of Mr. Calhoun, and which is said to have produced * a great sensation at Washington. The I’i.Acre is Ti'kkkv.—Unly a day t or two since, a pour Greek inhabitant til | Thcraphia, was suddenly attacked with sick- j ness and thinking that he recognised symp toms ol tl*o plague, he immediately proem ded * to bis cottage ; —and stopping, ere he touched k the threshold.called to hia wife, who, avion- p let.cd nt seeing him at so unwonted an boot, j and struck by the change in Ins appearance, was about to approach turn, when he desired * her to eland back and then calumly telling " her ho was unwell, although he I:new uoi from •' what cause, lie desired her to tltrow livin’ hi* J 111 rredqpdilute,—“ It il be a mere passing sick ness,” he added, aa be prepared to depart, “it wifi only cost me a night in the open air; if it be the plague, yon will at least save our few articles ol do'hing, and the lew comforts ofthe cottage—recommend mo to the Virgin and Bt. Roche." And thus he left his home, and wandered, weak and heartsick to the j mountains. Hu felt that the biand was on 1 him ; and he went to die alone, he knew not how, whether as a wild and frantic maniac, gathering strength front the lever which would turn Ins blond to Are, slid howling out Ins anguish to the.windsjil midnight, without one kind voice to comlbrt or onu fond hand to gu.de him until at length lie dropped down to die upon the damp earth. On the morrow the wile hastened to Ihc mountains with food, in search of her bus hand. She had not taught heraell to believe, that the plague had touched lorn, and she fear ed, that he might suffer from lunger, —She , led onu of her children by the hand —Ins la-‘ vorite child ! —and they were long before they j fount! him, for although the young clear voice ofthe boy, shouted out his name, was borne far away upon the elastic air ofthemountams there was no answer to the call; the fattier lay cohl and still'in a gully of the rock. The anguish of the unfortunate woman may be conceived. In her first agony she sprang to wards ihe body ; but the shriek of her child recalled her to a sense ot her peril, and the fate ,lhtil she would entail upon iter little ones. Thu struggle was long and bitter; but at length, she turned away with the weeping Iny, and returned into thu village to proclaim her widowhood. Os a still more tragic character is the fol lowing anecdote which has reference to the same frightful scuurage: A melancholy tale was related to me by n lady of Thcraphia w ho had watched, from day to tiny, the proceedings of one of these little plague stricken mountain colonies, through a telescope —lt consisted of a miserable family Ihc father, grey haired and feeble; the mother, bent and pilaled. The children died first,one hy one; (or the disease drank their young blood more eagerly than the chill stream which moved sluggishly through the veins of the aged parents; and at length the old couple were left alone. They used to sit side hy side for hours, under a tree lacing their village,the birth place of their dead oues, whom they had put into tho earth with their own hands; but within n week,the childless mother sickened in her turn, and the grey old man dragged a wretched mattress to Ihc fool of the tree, from beneath w hieh Ins stricken wife had no longer power to move; and he held the water to her lips, Mid lie pm the bread into hoi grasp; but till this care availed her nothing, and, with Ills lean mid trembling hands, ho scrached Iter a grave, tinder the shadows of the tree that she had loved in life, and when the earth had hid den her from his sight, ho lay down across ihc narrow mound to die in his tun. —[ Ms.ii Vanina's Cily if the Sultan. cilllONlCliK AND SKNTINEL.

Washington, Oet.9, isa?. ■ The House adjourned at 10 o’clock on Satur ■ day evening, but without coming to any decision . on the hill to authorize the issuing of Treasury Nolca which waa under discussion. The sense of the house, however, was very clearly expressed in favor of the proposition to require interest on the notes —motion alter motion having been made under different forms, to strike out that clause, and successively rejected. When the House adjourned, Mr. Underwood’s amendment was under discussion. It proposes to defer the issue of Treasury Notes, except for the amount of $3,560,000, until after the government bonds held by the bank of the U. S. shall have been sold; but providing that if those bonds were not sold at the expiration of three months, then the Treasury Notes to the amount of ten millions ■re to lx? issued, as proposed by the bill. The debate on this was resumed today. Mr. Cambrc ling opposed it attending to embarrass the Trea sury. Mr. Underwood vindicated it from this charge. Mr. Seargeut of Philadelphia, spoke at length in hivor of (he amendment, and in oppo sition to the hill, unless such a proposition was incorporated. During the morning hour an immense load of petitions and memorials was ptosented from dif ferent northern and middle Slates, remonstrating against the annexation of Texas to the union. A memorial was presented by the Speaker, from an individual named Costar, declaring that lie hud commenced suit on certain notes of the Bank of the Metropolis, and that the proceedings had been stayed by an injunction from the Dis trict Court. He prayed that Congress would cause the charter of the bank to be forfeited.— Mr. Adams said the subject was so important that it could not he satisfactorily discussed and settled at this session. The question involved was, in in his opinion, no less than whether a suspension of specie payments did not, ile Jacto, forfeit the charter. At his suggestion the petition was laid on the table for the present session. No farther proceedings have been had upon Mr. Wise’s resolution of inquiry resecting the Florida War. Mr. Elmore o(S. C., moved for the printing of ten thousand additional copies of the correspon dence relative to our affairs with Texas, and a portion ol the documents. Mr. Adams proposed that all the documents should be included in llto order. This gave use to a brief discussion, which was cut off by a successful motion logo to the order of the day—the treasury note bill.

Col. 2 Dawson’s aide and instructive speech is also look r. ed for with much anxiety. It will be published soon. M. :- From the N. O. Bee Oct. 7. i- A VERY SEVERE GALE, r Since tbe 6th insl we have had a constant rain; e the wind blowing with the utmost violence, has - caused great damages, as well among the ship ping us in the interior of the city. The French ship Caroline, from Celle, ready for sea. lost n her mizen mast and bowsprit. The Citizens’Bank r- has also suffered; its roof, although fastened by id strong iron bulls, has been blown down. The it, loss is immense. While writing the above (the te 7th insl at 8 o’clock, A. M.) the wind is blow s- <ng with such violence that new disasters arc to m he expected, ■d The French ship Amilic, which arrived yes •e torday from Havre, with 186 passengers, lost its |, bowsprit, by its collision with other vessels. The B violent change must necessarily pul a slop to the _ prevailing epidemic which has afflicted our city g for some lime past. ’ N. B. The above is no doubt a very small part of the injury which must have been experienced ill from the gale. A large steamboat, name not i„ know to us, has also sunk. '? MAINE ELECTION—FOR THE LAST TIME. The Argils, the Globe, the Evening Post—the Tory presses generally, and Tory talkers at the corners, asseverate most vehemently that A'ent is 18 not elected Oovotnor of Maine, and that there is a Van Burcn Legislature. They complain that the r " Whigs have burned powder prematurely—and that they will be compelled to unsay all that they have been saying for the last three weeks. Now, r - although the Whigs find sufficient justification for burning no small amount of powder in comment ft oration of the glorious triumph of the De mocracy of numbkiis in North Carolina, Ten t. nessce, Kentucky, Indiana, Vermont and Rhode Island—still wc contend that there is not a gun lost ot the lens of thousands that were sited for the l- regeneration of Maine. Flic latest news from Portland confirms beyond a doubt the etc (ion of Kent, and the election of a Whig majority in the House of Representatives of the State. Returns show that the whigs have now clectedj ninety seven members to the House thus securing a Whig majority of nine, it all the districts yet to he beard from should have ■- elected i’ories. Kent’s majority for Governor, n over all the other candidates united is 350. JV. 1”.

IN conformity to a resolution adopted at a meeting of the Stockholders ol tho|Vaucfue*s Manufactur ing Company, their establishment will be sold at public auction,on the second Monday m November next, at Vaucluse. Terms —One lottrlli t ltsfl, and the remainder on a credit of one, tw o and three years, in equal instal m nts; the purchaser giving personal security, and. a mortgage on the premises, it is confidently believed that no similar establish- I menl in the Soul hern States combines so many ad ’ vantages. Situated on a bold and nipni stream run* ' lung amidst sand bills, it is entirely exempt from the lever's of the country The supply of water, at all seasons of the year, Is sufficient lo impel ten limes the existing machinery. The bouse is 100 feet long, forty wide, and five stories high; built of solid granite, of w inch there is an inexhitusliblo quarry in thirty yards of it. There are in operation lOSG throstles, GUO mule spindles, 120 wool spindles, 3G looms, two dressers, and all the other machinery j. requisite to keep these in motion. The tract olTand 1 contains 1200 acres, abounding in the finest kind of pine timber, with several fine springs of pure water, unequalled in the State, and there is a saw mill upon it, capable of supplying all the wants of the com pany in extending their buildings; also a gristmill. Vaucluse is 14 miles from Augusta, Ga., 0 miles from Aiken, S. C., 16 miles from Fidgefield Court House, 8.C., and 4« miles from tho Charleston and ■ Hamburg Rail Road The proximity to Augusta renders it unnecessary to keep a considerable inac tive capital invested in raw cotton, as a weekly sup ply can be certainly,and at all times, obtained at fair prices. in the hands of a man who understands the man ufucturing business, and would personally attend lo it, this Factor) would be a splendid fortune.
