SUB TREASURY BILL DEFEATED.
We have all along augured the defeat of
this bill, even in the Senate, though at times
its prospect did indeed look dark enough there.
The Administration Editors themselves, be
gan to be rather ashamed of it; and on their
side, we have not of late heard any thing of
the Sub Treasury bill; but they have been
vainly endeavoring to dignify it by the style
of the Independent Treasury. On the 24th
March, in the evening, on motion or Mr.
Ccthbert or Georgia (we rejoice to ob
serve) the section of Mr. Calhoun’s bill, re
quiring the Receivers of the United States to
receive only specie, was stricken out, by a
vote of 31 to 21.
And thus has perished one of the many
schemes of the Administration to destroy the
Commerce and the Credit of the Nation. Still
it becomes us to be watchful. We contend
with a Hydra. No sooner can we destroy one
head, but another springs forth to the attack
upon our enterprise and prosperity. This bill
it is true is deprived of its most odious fea
ture —that which would constitute Martin Van
Buren an absolute monarch over our Com
merce and business. It is well to consider
whether it be worth while to entrust to him
the limited sovereignty'm the premises, which ]
the amended Bill may leave to him. His
course in the government of the nation is like
his course in the government of the State of
New York. At Albany, as at Washington,
he first aimed at the possession of the Banks
and of the money power. At Washington, as
at Albany, he will work the woe and distress
of his country, if he succeeds in obtaining it.
Let the experience of New York speak to
warn the nation from a fatal trust in his de
signs. Let that misgoverned State exhibit
her merchants and traders obliged to sell
their votes for bank accommodations, and after
all ground to the dust, crushed and ruined to
increase the spoils of the victors.
Regenerated New York has spoken. In
the state of parties in her Legislature now in
session—in the overthrow of the Administra
tion party in New York City—in the Free
Banking law, she speaks in deeds louder than
words, to warn the Country from imitation of
her confidence in Martin Van Buren and his
Safety Fund Bank projects, —and to prophecy,
in the National, as in the State Government,
his final downfall and disgrace.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Latest date 26th March. The most import
ant news of the last week, the defeat of the
Sub-Treasury bill, we have noticed above.
This subject and its final disposition have en
tirely occupied the Senate. The House have
attended to many petitions, and some private
business. The Appropriation bills for the di
plomatic expenses of our Government, and
for the Post Office Department, the last
amounting to five millions of dollars, are be
fore them. The Sub Treasury bill has come
up in the House, and Messrs. Sergeant and
Cambreleng from the Committee, have made
counter reports of each of which 10,000 extra
copies are to be printed. The fate of this bill,
in the Senate, will, without doubt, much
strengthen the hands of the opposition in the
House. An enquiry into the British outrage,
in burning the Caroline, at Schlosser has been
instituted, and will be prosecuted with effect,
and reparation demanded of the British
Government for their violation of our territory.
But the chief interest of the week haa been
in the Senate. The debates there jbetween
Messrs. Calhoun, Clay and Webster, have
been of the most extreme excitement and in
terest The former gentleman seems to have
been born in a minority; and though he has
added another to his numerous political de
feats and again cast his best friends behind
him, he still compels us to respect his abilities
while we deplore his capricious humor.
FREE BANKING.
In relation to Banking, the people of the
State of New York, have been most patient
and long suffering. The Safety Fuxd Sys
tem, with which they were long ago loaded by
Mr. Van Buren was not in itself so odious.—
There is no great objection to reserving by a
general contribution of the Banks, a fund which
shall protect the public against loss from those
that are fraudently or badly conducted. But
tills part of the scheme from which it derived
its plausible name, was only a cloak to cover
a multitude of abominations. Os these, per
haps, the most abominable, was the establish
ment of a board of Bank Commissioners, wl&
distributed and apportioned the stock of all
new Banks, as they saw fit. The Legislature
used their discretion in granting Bank Charters
most abusively and merely for party purpose*.
The Bank Commissioners took what stock they
wanted for themselves and their friends, in the
most open and unblushing manner. Between
these two millstones, the men of business of the
State of New York, have been-grbund for more
than ten years. So little did the Legislature
provide for the wants of their business com
munity in banking, that we have it from au
thority that we cannot doubt, that the Banks of
Rochester, actually have cleared from fifteen
to twenty percent per annum; though of course
this fact was smothered in the public reports
of the Banks. This happened in an immense
flour producing district in which it was neces
sary for the millers to purchase large stocks of
wheat, and lie out of their investment, until
their product was in market Their business
was most legitimate, and their credit could
truly be said to be “as good as wheat” Yet
were they cramped in their banking facilities)
and their petitions for new banks were refused
that the old ones might be glutted and gorged
with their spoils.
The State of New York is now free, as the
nation will soon be free, from a “ Perish Credit,
Perish Commerce” Administration. And in
the first moment of her freedom that Commer
cial State worthily proclaims FREE BANK
ING. For why should not Banking—the deal
ing in monies and securities, be as free as the
trade in any thing else, and like all other com
merce, subjected only to such regulation as
shall give the proper security to the public.
The project of a Free Banking Law, which
shall open banking to all men, without distinc
tion of party, will be found in the following ab
stract of its three first sections from the Al
bany Argus:
Sec. 1. Authorizes and directs the Comp
troller to cause to be engraved and printed,
blank notes in the similitude of bank bills, of
the different denominations now authorized,
and issued by existing banking institutions ;
to be countersigned, numbered and registered
in proper books in the office of the Comptrol
ler, under his direction, and by such persons
as he shall appoint for the purpose.
Sec. 2. Entitles any person or associations,
for the purpose of banking, to receive for cir
culation from the Comptroller an amount of
notes so countersigned and registered equal
to an amount of State or United States Gov
ernment stock deposited with him, at the par
value, in trust to secure the payment of such
notes.
Sec. 3. Authorizes such persons or compa
ny to make them obligatory promissory notes,
payable on demand, at the usual place of bu
siness, and to loan and circulate them as mo
ney, according to the ordinary legal course of
banking in this State.
From these the plan and design of the pro
posed law may be seen. The remaining twen
ty three sections relate only to the detail of
the comptroller’s duties, and other matters not
of general interest This project is now be
fore the New York Legislature with a fair
prospect of success. Even should it not pass
at the present session, a spirit is manifested
throughout the State in its favor, that leaves
no doubt of its final enactment.
FROM FLORIDA.
The last dates from Florida represent the
Indians as very much distressed and tdmosl
ready to come in and surrender on any terms.
On the other hand the accounts from Wash
ington represent General Jessup as being very
much distressed indeed, and quite as anxious
as the Indians to be relieved from the war.
Both are merely old stories over again.—
From the commencement of the war we have
all along been beating the Indians and on the
point of extinguishing them ; but truth to tell,
we have spent twenty millions of money and
thousands of lives and are hardly nearer the
desired defeat and removal of the Indians than
when we began.
Occasional Indian murders are heard of as
since the commencement of the war.
On Saturday, 16th uIL George A. Gillett,
his wife, four children, a woman and four chil
dren were murdered near Ocean Pond.
On the 29th uIL we spoke the John Stoney,
from Florida, who reported the discharge of all
the volunteers in compliance with orders from
Washington.
On the 12th Feb. Gen. Jessup met 200 In
dians 28 miles southwest of Fort Jupiter who
agreed to come in and surrender, the General
encouraging them that they might remain in
Florida. But this amounts to nothing. The
words of the Indian are still as they have ever
been, fair and false.
NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.
Mr. Hill is certainly elected by a majority
of 1500 only, where a year since the Adminis
tration triumphed in a majority of 20,000. Mr.
Hill felt this to boa desperate struggle for
success ; and left no base endeavor untried to
secure his election. He had the unblushing
effrontery to dress his paper in mourning, on the
receipt of the news of Cilley’s fatal duel; and
thus, it is said,secured many votes. No doubt
a pious and conscientious mind may properly
enough feel and display its horror at a public
sentiment, which authorizes such flagrant ex
amples from the rulers of our nation. But for
Isaac Hill!! for the New Hampshire Patriot!!
to have their moral tense disturbed or shocked
by any amount of duelling after having for
years supported Gen. Jackson, “the hero of two
wars and thirteen private engagements,” is in
deed absurdly ridiculous.
The New York American aptly quotes on
this occasion the maxim of Rochefoucault:
“Hypocrisy is the homage which vice pays to
virtue.”
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
We take the following from the Columbus
Enquirer, with some grain of allowance.—
Aware, as we are, of the persevering energy
and disinterested, endeavors, of our fellow cit
izen, the Hon. Thomas Butler Kino, to pro
mote the project in question, we yet appre
hend that the state of the finances of the
country, is such as would forbid the instant
action reported by the Enquirer. . We do trust,
however, that the report is well founded; and
can only say in discredit of it, that we have
no information in regard to it, more direct than
is contained in the extract below. Mr. King’s
absence at the North prevents our obtaining
the proper information from him. It is very
gratifying to perceive generally that our friends
in Western Georgia are alive to their own in
terests and ours in the encouragement they
give to this magnificent and noble project.
ENTERPRIZE.
We learn that Mr. King, is actively prepar
ing for the commencement of his magnificent
plan for connecting Western Georgia with the
city of Brunswick. We are told he has secur
ed a loan of sufficient size to ensure the total
chain of Rail Road to the mouth of the Chat
tahoochie, and that he gives assurances of do
ing so early as the work can be done. This
is a work in which we should all feel, and we
believe our mercantile friends do feel the deep
est concern. It is decidedly to Columbus, and
the whole of Western Georgia, the most im
portant enterprise of the day. We have al
ready felt, to no inconsiderable degree, the
disadvantages under which we struggle, in
consequence of our dangerous route to the
Atlantic. So long as we are obliged to trav
erse the capes of Florida, it is out of the ques
tion that we can pay for cotton such prices as
will command the distant planters attention.
Those who are most convenient to Columbus
will find it their interest to trade here, even
though we give a trifle less for their staple and
require a trifle more for dry goods than other
markets. But it cannot be expected that those
who are, within a few miles, as near to other
markets giving better prices will trade with
u% We must devise some plan which will
enable us to offer as good prices as other
places, and sell on as good terms. The ex
horbitant rates of insurance and freight which
we are required to pay around the Flori
da Capes, form no small portion of the cost of
our goods, and add no little to the actual ad
vances for cotton, laid down in New York.—
Mr. King’s undertaking will remedy this evil.
We have the best river in the State, and if he
will give us a good rail way to the Atlantic,
possessing already decided advantages for the
Gulf trade, we may look forward with pleasure
to the day, not far off, when Columbus will be
the First City, inland, of Georgia.
We are sanguine of the completion of this
noble work. We do not even doubt its com
pletion. In the mean while, let those who are
entrusted with the management of the upper
road, go ahead. There is an identity of inter
est in the two undertakings; they will mutual
ly aid each other—and we have sadly mistak
en the signs of things if some ot our doubting,
halting capitalists do not very soon regret their
backwardness in taking up the stock which
they have recently had a chance to secure.
[Columbus Enquirer.
THE CHEROKEES.
The Milledgeville Union, anti the Raleigh
Register, express great apprehensions of dis
turbance upon the approaching removal of the
Cherokees. As yet, we have heard no fads
which should justify such fears. Apprehensions
thus expressed, without a statement of the exact
circumstances upon which they are founded,
have the worst effect, and are directly calculat
ed to produce and encourage among the Cher
okees a collision with the Government, which
all must deplore. The requisition of troops
mentioned in the above papers, we take to be
only for the companies of Col. Lindsay’s com
mand, which force, as we understand the mat
ter, is rather for the protection of the Indians
against the whites than to guard against any
resistance expected from the Indians.
THE EXPRESS MAIL.
The Vicksburg Register says:—“We find
after a tedious examinatiou of our bushel of old
papers received by the last mail little news of
any interest which had not readied us pre
viously.”
Thus hardly docs this wretched express
mail bear upon the diffusion of true intelli
gence through this country, and every faithful
editor who duly examines his bushel of old
newspapers can sympathise with him of Vicks
burg. The striking events of the hour are
hurried off in slips per express mail, at a rate
no fasler than the regular mail can and ought
to be carried, while the substantial newspaper
containing correct and detailed accounts arrives
some eight or ten days after. Then must the
patient editor, if he be patient, sit down and
fill up the gaps of his garbled and incorrect
slips per express mail, and make acknowledge
ments, apologies aud corrections, without num
ber for his previous innocent deception of the
public. In the mean time the public themselves i
between the Express and the Slow mail, are;
thrown into a confusion and disorder of inind,
quite as admirable as Amos Kendall himself
could desire in his most ardent endeavors to
blind and deceive them as to the true effect of
the measures of the Government, and of the
party in which he takes so leading a part
ObitU4BY. In Boston, Hon. Nathaniel
Bow ditch, L. L. D., Actuary of the Massachu
chusetts Hospital Life Insurance Company, and
President of the American Academy of Arts
and Sciences, in the 65th year of his age.
Mr. Bowditch is most extensively known to
the public as the author of Bowditch’s Practi
cal Navigation—the best practical work on
navigation in our own or any other language.
It is in the hands of every American Shipmas
ter, and may be considered to have contribued
not a little to the superiority of our mercantile
marine.
In the scientific world, Mr. Bowditch is hon
ored not only as the editor, but as the corrector
of La Place. He held ■ most distinguished
rank among modern mathematicians, and was
a member of the most distinguished scientific
societies of Europe. This distinction he at
tained simply by the force of modest and un
pretending merit Without connexion or for
tune he rose, we think from being the master of
a merchantman, to hold a high rank among the
literary and scientific benefactors of the world*
His loss is a loss to the public, and as such
will be deplored.
We regret to learn that his great work, the
translation and illustration of La Place’s “Mes
canique Celeste,” which he commenced print
ing at his own expense, some few years since
remains unfinished. Three volumes quarto
have been published. Another is left in readi
ness for the press, but the last volume is thus
lost to the world by the death of the author.
The extracts below will be atttractive to
those who are interested in the practical con
struction of Railroads. The Great Western,
which connects London with Birmingham, is
doubtless the most perfect Railroad as yet
constructed in the world. The w idth of the
track is seven feet, and the weight of the rail
and the solidity of the are in such
proportion to other Railroads, that Locomotive j
Engines of three times the size, weight and j
power of those heretofore used, are built for i
this road. The first class cars made for it are
twelve feet in wid#i, and fitted up with conch
es and sofas. The cost of these car-bodies
alone, without their running gear, is two
thousand dollars each.
The term ‘Kyanized’ may not be familiar to i
all of our readers. It refers to an invention of
Mr. Kyan for protecting timber of all kinds
from the action of rot, dry rot or worms. This
is effectually done by steeping the timber,
which it is desired to preserve, for fourteen or
twenty days according to its size, in a solu
tion of corrosive sublimate, known in Chemis
try as the proto-chloride of mercury. This
invention proves most effectual, and is not I
very expensive. It lias gained for its inventor;
a lasting renown.
Great Western Railway. We
have much gratification iu informing our I
readers that last week the first trial of
the locomotive engines was made upon a
portion of this railway at the London end,
and with a most satisfactory result. We
need not inform those who have paid any
attention to the construction of railways
that, iu the formation of the Great West
ern line, Mr. Brunei has boldly deviated
from the practice hitherto followed in the
north in some of its most essential fea
tures. Not only has he introduced a per
fection of levels hitherto unequalled in
any railways, but, by adopting a greater
width (or gauge) of track for the loco
motives, by increasing the diameter of (he I
working wheels of his engines, and more!
especially by his mode of laying the rails j
upon the continuous bearing of timber,
Kvanized.
We have received the following addi
tional particulars from a correspondent:
It is with the greatest satisfaction we
are able to announce that a full trial was
made, during the whole of Wednesday,
in running the engines on two or three
\ miles of this line, near West Drayton, be
tween London and Maidenhead.
The object of the trial was to prove
the rails, and most satisfactory was the
result, both as to the increased width of
guage; and the use of continuous bearers
of Kyanized wood confined by piles, on
which plan the line is constructed.
An engine with eight feet drawing
wheels, made by Messrs. Tayieur &, Co!'
of Warrington,—weight 23 tons, with
the tender, water, coke, &.c. and another
engine made by Messrs. Mather &, Dix
on, of Liverpool,—weight about I?) tons,
with tender, &c., ran the whole day
without producing the slightest vibration,
either on the rails or the wood under
them. The rails are, in fact, so hcauti- ]
hilly firm, smooth and true, that the engine
glided over them more like a shuttle 1
through a loom, or an arrow out oT a bow,
than like the effect on any previous rail
way; there is literally no noise, no appar
ent effort; nor can there ever be discover
ed any difference between the centre and
the joints in the rails.
A maximum speed was not attempted,
as on so short a piece, the momentum
would he no sooner attained than it
would require to be lowered, in prepara
tion lor stopping the engine. A speed of
forty-five to fifty miles per hour was at
tained; and when the engines are run, as
they will be either next or the following
week on an eight or ten mile length,
there is no doubt they will as easily run at
a very much higher speed.
We congratulate Mr. Brunei on the
high practical science evinced in his ev
ery step in this great undertaking; and
we feel convinced that the Directors and
Engineers will now have the high gratifi
cation of seeing the eyes of all Europe
fixed on a successful opening of this
great undertaking to Maidenhead in
March next.—[Bristol Mercury.
Aquatic. We are happy to learn that a
six oared boat,thirty five feet long,built ofeedar,
lapstreaked, is on its way fiom Boston to this
place. She was built of the best materials,
and in the most thorough manner for a club
boat, and was probably intended rather for
practice than racing. Still this will give to the
lovers of sport an opportunity of matching the
beautiful cypress boats of this neighborhood
against her, ami of ascertaining their relative
speed.
In our* of a fortnight since, we published [
some views in relation to the distress of the
employed and working class of the communi-1
ty in New York City and tracing it to the pres- j
ent deranged currency. In confirmation of
the views then expressed, we quote the follow
ing which has since come to hand and dis
plays even a greater amount of misery and
suffering proceeeing from the gross political
errors of our Administration than we were
then aware of;
Distress in New York. The fol
lowing article is a strong authentication
of the expression iu Gen. Jackson’s fare
well address—“ I leave this great people
prosperous and happy.” If he did leave
them in this situation, how soon has Mr.
Vanßuren, by ‘‘following in the footsteps,”
plunged them into poverty and distress ;
‘‘The New York states that
the disclosures made at the various Ward
Charity Meetings, in relation to the suf
ferings of the poor in that citv, are of the]
most awful character. It was asserted on |
the authority of the central committees j
that at the present period, not less than J
forty thousand persons in the city of New
York are dependent on the hands of ehari- 1
ty for their daily supplies of food and fu - |
! el. Amongst these are found not only the !
vicious and improvident, but thousands of
the most industrious and, hitherto, labor
ious of the population, but they do not
work, merely because they can find noth-i
ing to do—labor being at present out ofi
the question. The Express adds that |
there, is not a day passes in^that city in j
■ which there are. not more or less deaths
from want of food and fuel.''
How long will a people, who boast ofj
their freedom, submit to be oppressed to]
starvation and death, by the sub-treasury
schemes and loco toco measures of the
present administration ?
We call attention to the following extracts
from the St. Louis Bulletin and Pittsburgh Ad
vocate giving accounts of the origin and fatal
progress of the Small Pox among the North
western Indians. Reports from the Indian
country are very likely to come in an exagger
ated form, as they are made by individual
traders or hunters of facts only within the
knowledge of a very limited number of whites.
Still there must be some foundation in
fact for the reports of this widely devastating
pestilence, and however we may discredit the
particulars of the intelligence, there can be
no doubt of its general truth, confirmed as it
has been by the rumors of the last few months;
Official accounts of the most melancholy
and appalling character, have been received
at Washington respecting the extraordinary
and we may add, unprecedented ravages
made by the Small-jiox among the Indians of
the Upper Missouri. Several entire tribes
have been already annihilated by this
loathsome disease, and its devastating ef
fects, it is believed, would be extended across
the Continent, and only be arrested by the
Pacific ocean.
“Thousands of them have fallen victims to
the pestilence. The U. S. trade in that sec
tion of country is said to be utterly ruined for
many years to come. A letter from the Fur
Company’s agent at Fort Union describes the
disease as a “hundred times more horrible
than the ordinary small pox.” The same dis
ease has penetrated to the remotest part of
the Assinaboin country, where the Indians, ac
cording to the last accounts, were dying by
fifties and hundreds a day, the surviving wo
men and children being left in wretchedness
indescribable. The Assinaboin tribe, which
not long since numbered 9COO, was literally
annihilated! The Mandans, a tribe of about
2000, living 1600 miles above St Louis, had
all died but 31. The Minatarces, living near
the Mandans and numbering about 1000 had
lost one half of their number, and the mortal
ity was still raging- The amount
ing to 3000, had lost one half their number,
and the remnant were dying hourly. The
Crees, numbering 3000, were nearly all de
stroyed. There was little doubt, that the
dreadful disease will do its fatal work upon all
the tribes on the Columbia river, and upon all
South of the Missouri to the Mexican settle-1
ments!”
“The circumstances under which the dis
ease was introduced into that region are thus
related in the St. Louis Bulletin: —In the lat
ter end of April l ist, Messrs. Pratte, Coutcau
&. Cos. of St. Louis, started their steamboat,
the St. Peters, with supplies for their various
trading posts on the Upper Missouri, and she
was destined to Fort Union, about 2000 miles
above Saint having on board, at the
same time, the annuity goods due from the
Government to a number of tribes on that
river. When the boat arrived at the Black
Snake Hills, a trading post sixty miles above
Fort Leavenworth, and about 500 miles above
St Louis, there was :F mu hit to man on board,
who became affected with what was then sup
posed to be the measles, but by the time tlie
boat reached the Agency for Council Bluffs,
where the annuities for several tribes were de
liverable, it was ascertained to be a case of
small pox, and as a matter of course, had
been communicated to others on board, though
they had not yet experienced its effects. The
boat was then far advanced into tlie Indian
country, had passed several tribes, with whom
it was impracticable, under the circumstances*
to prevent an intercourse, some of whom had
no doubt taken the disease; and it must be
obvious to every individual at all acquainted
with the situation and wandering habits of all
the Indians in that region, that no human ef
forts could have checked tlie progress of the
disease, or prevented it from being communi-;
cated to the different bands, when once intro
duced among a single tribe.
TIIE NEPTUNE.
This splendid boat it seems had a narrow i
escape from the fate of the Home on her last
passage from Charleston. When will our peo
ple learn to sacrifice a little speed to safety
and to build us good sea going steamers* in
stead of attempting a sea voyage with those of
long, sharp and narrow models fit only for
rivers.

of forty-five degrees. A gentleman with when*
we conversed, contrary to the received accep

during the severity of the gale. When the
front smoke-pipe was blown off*, and the thick
iron fastenings, which bound it to the boat,
and to its fellow in the rear, were rent assufr
der like pack thread, hope seemed to have de
parted to return no more. But the other pipe;
still remained firm. The passengers exhibit

and bustle was to be heard among them.—
