THE SUB TREASURY BILL FINALLY
DEFEATED.
It has always been our principle “never to
despair of the Republic.” Os late this con
fidence and faith has been most severely tried;
but we are now happy to be able to inform our
readers, that the Sub-Treasury bill, which,
like the drawn sword suspended by a single
hair, has been hanging over us for the last four
months, was, on the evening of the 25th inst.,
defeated in the House of Representatives, by a
vote of 125t0 111. We have, throughout this
session, confidently augured the defeat of this
bill, though the mere chance of its passage,
lias for so long a period filled the country with
apprehension and alarm. But we were sure
that the] unprecedented derangement of the
■currency, from which the country is suffering,
had opened the eyes of the people to the real
tendency of the financial measures of those
■now in office, and that the dangerous Money
Rower, so much declaimed against by them,
would not be entrusted in the hands of those
in whom so little confidence is to be reposed.
As is well known, it was the object of this 1
bill to provide for the deposit of the public
money in the hands of a few Government A
gents, thereto remain, hoarded and locked up,
until wanted for the public disbursements.
The disposition so often manifested by the
Government to discredit the currency of the
country, and directly to undermine it, by with
drawing from the people to its own coffers, the !
Specie basis upon which it is founded, render-;
cd the measure of the Sub Treasury Bill of
the most dangerous tendency, even after the
Senate rejected its most material clause, w hich
required the revenue to be collected only in
Specie.
This lgst and greatest defeat of the Admin
istration, will give anew life and confidence
to the business of the country. We cannot
too highly appreciate its importance. By this
vote, the business men of the whole country
are assured that the power of tiie faction
which adopted the motto, “Perish Credit, Per
ish Commerce,” is at an end, —that the Admin
istration will now be forced, in spite of itself,
to adopt measures for the relief of the coun
try, and that, as iii former times, and under
more judicious Administrations, all will again
be well.
HA! HA! HA!
The following is from Gon. Scott’s order of
the 17lh inst. disbanding the Georgia troops
in the Cherokee Country :
“ Acting paymasters Bennett and Buck, will
immediately repair to the middle district to
pay off the troops as last as they are discharg
ed, in the best money they may be able to com
mand.'”
In the best money they may be abi.k to
command! And what, think you, that will
be. A branch rivulet of the great current of
gold, that was to flow tip the valley of the
Mississippi ? or in the depreciated false prom
ises to pay of such Banks as the Paymasters
can induce to issue notes at this date, when in
preparation for a resumption of specie pay
ments, they ought to contract their currency.
If the consequences to the public were not too
sad and melancholy for laughter, this specta
cle of utter bankruptcy in a Government,
which promised, nothing but solid gold to the
country, would he amusing and ridiculous.
THE CHEROKEES.
The news from New Echota to the 13th
inst announces that the removal of the Indians
proceeds in the most quiet and orderly manner,
and at that date they had all been removed be
yond the limits of Georgia. Gen. Floyd had i
himself superintended the removal of more j
than four thousand from his district, and the (
troops under his command have been distin- j
guished for their kind and humane deportment!
towards the Indians. To the Cherokees, with
in the limits of North Carolina, Tennessee
and Alabama, Gen. Scott gave till the 12th
June to come in and report for removal. Some
apprehensions have been manifested lest the
troops might meet with opposition and hostility
from these Indians. But we are not of that
opinion; and we firmly believe that the entire
removal will be effected with that moderation
and good conduct, which have so remarkably
characterised its commencement. If the In
dians of North Carolina, Tennessee, and Ala
bama had been compelled to come in in May,
the only effect would have been, to have de
tained them the longer at the forts and the
different depots; for the Georgia Indians have
come in more rapidly tlian it lias been found
practicable to ship and otherwise to remove
them. In this delay of Gen. Scott’s, therefore,
we only see an evidence of good judgment,
in preferring that they should remain separate
ed and about their homes in preparation for re
moval, rather than, being hurried to a crowd-
ed rendezvous, and there retained uutil the
preparations for removal were rcadv. they
should be excited to hostile combination bv
the very discomfort of such a situation,
J hus tar, we think the business, ener (r v and
decision, which at the same time has been
] tempered with the utmost humanity and good
feeling, exhibited by the Governor and bv all,
j " hose official duties have obliged them to take
i part in the removal, are worthy of the highest
| praise and consideration, and give to the
! ' v °r!d the best assurance of the continuance
j of peace within our borders, and of immediate
j compliance with the terms of the treaty.
Since writing the above, we have, in con
firmation of our views, received the following
j official papers, by which it appears that the
Georgia troops, having accomplished their du
ties, will be immediately paid off' and disband

To Gen. Charles Floyd:
Sir— Major White arrived here last evening

FROM WASIIINGTON.
Our latest date from Washington is to the
2(>tli tilt. For the last fortnight Congress hus
been really hard at work, undswe can only at
tempt a slight sketch of the more important
measures, which have engaged their attention.
Os these, the final disposition and defeat of the
Sub Treasury hill, of which we have spoken
elsewhere, is the most remarkable. On the
2Gtli, the House refused to reconsider their
vote upon this bill, 225 to 21. The strength
of this vote shows how universally admitted
was the defeat of the Administration in this,
their favorite measure. For the present, it is
left uncertain in what manner the revenue will
be deposited. Congress cannot separate with
out making some provision on this important
point, and we regret, that it must necessarily
be done in more haste than its consequence de
mands.
The Pre-emption bill has passed both branch
es. This hill gives the right of first purchase
of the public lands, to individuals and to their
families, who settle upon the Government
Lands before they are regularly surveyed, and
put up for sale. In many respects it is highly
objectionable, as tending to encourage the
settlement of the new States and Territories
with immense numbers of hired squatters, who
with their families, will he maintained in idle
ness by speculators who would establish a
claim to the most favorite locations in the im
mense tracts of the public lands. It will thus
tend to fill the new States with a population of
the worst kind. It may, however, have a good
effect in checking the insane speculation in
public lands, which has for some years caused
such an immense drain upon the business re
sources of the country; but this might have
been better effected by other measures.
From the J s th to the 25th, Mr. Adams has
occupied the morning hour in speeches relat
ing to the proposed annexation of Texas, a
I measure which Congress had shewn the most
decided determination to drop without any def-
I inite action. This debate of the 23d inst. as
j sumed a most exciting character, and led to a
| scene of disorderly and obstinate contention
between Mr. Adams and the Speaker. A like
spirit of insubordination and contempt of the
, rules of the House, has been occasionally ex
hibited before by Mr. Adams, but never ac
companied by so gross indecorum as in the
; present instance.
I We are happy to observe that on the 16th
! inst. the bill, reported by the Committee of the
1 Senate for the proper and safe regulation of
steamboats, and for proving their boilers, was
taken up. This was done before the news of
I the destruction of the l’ulaski and of the Wash
’ ington had reached Congress, and doubtless
j the impression that those dire calamities will

produce there, will effectually prevent the
separation of Congress before tiie passage of
the desired law on this important subject,
i Monday next, IHh inst is fixed by both hous
es for their final adjournment, and close of the
] session.
THE LOSS OF THE PULASKI.
We have now intelligence from New York
(to the 25th inst., and we regret to say we
have no new names to add to the list of those
■saved. Thus have perished most prematurely
more than one hundred individuals. But a
; few short days since, how full of life and
health and hope were they. Many after a win
! ter of toil and labor, were about to devote the
summer to the pleasures of travel, accompa
nied by their families. Others were on their
return to homes ffom which they had long
been absent. All were indulging the excite
ment of such pleasing anticipations as would
1 naturally under such circumstances suggest
i themselves to them, and confidently reposing
! upon the skill and prudence of the comma ml -
. ers of the vessel, who had their lives in their
charge. At this moment of security occurs
the explosion which hurried some of our
friends to a death of insufferable torture, which
cast others maimed and scalded to drift upon
the boundless ocean until a yet more linger
ing, painful death relieved them, and which
exposed the small remnant ot the sufferers to
an escape, than which the ordinary horrors of
death arc far less terrible. To estimate the
immense amount of bodily suffering thus oc
casioned is impossible. To realise the yet
greater degree of mental anguish, which lias
almost overwhelmed society, in consequence of
this fatal event, overtasks the power of thought,
or even of imagination. Had tins terrific loss
happened in the convulsion of the elements—
had it been occasioned by the earthquake’s
shock or the ocean’s storm, the most impatient
and irreconcileable grief would have been 1
checked by the rcllection that it was the act
of a Deity who chastcneth whom lie lovetli, i
and against whom, it were vain as well as im
pious, to contend. But to this unmitigated
act of human folly and vanity, drawing in its
train consequences so shocking and disastrous.
who 6an submit witli resignation?
But even amidst the deep feelings of irre
coiicileable grief which so sad ail event occa
sions, let not the public forget longer their du
ty of protection to the thirty thousand of their
fellow citizens, who are daily borne by steam
boats, in the different sections of our country.
The Moselle, the Oronooko, the Washington,
and the Pulaski, all w ithin a few weeks, have
been destroyed, and si.r hundred lives have, been
lost on hoard of them in that short space of
time. It cannot be, that with such examples
before them, Congress should separate w ithout
enacting the laws necessary to the security,
and even to the existence of travellers. It
cannot be. that a party struggle about the Sub-
Treusury, or any other hill, should be allowed
to occupy the tew days that remain ol the ses
sion of Congress, to the exclusion of the ne
glected bill, introduced nearly six months
since, providing for the proper inspection of
steamboilers, and for their regulation when in
use.
C'AI'SE OF TIIE EXPLOSION.
In our last, wc avoided any allusion to the
! causes of the destruction of the Pulaski, in
the hope that later intelligence might exhibit.
j some facts in mitigation and excuse of the
conduct, of her Commanders and engineers.
We regret to say that »c can produce no such
justification. The truth is, the Pulaski tea*
blown up in running against time, in the cn
i deavorto make the shortest passage that ever
j was made between Charleston and Baltimore.
! Wc feel therefore obliged to call attention to
1 the following facts in relation to the explosion
which, in our opinion, tlx most conclusively
| and decisively the guilt of the loss upon the
i conductors of the boat. The Pulaski was out
hut seventeen hours from Charleston, and in
; that time had gained a position to tiio Nortli
, ward and Eastward of Wilmington. The or
dinary passage from Charleston to Wilming
ton is eighteen hours for fast boats, and it is
i therefore utterly impossible that the Pulaski
should have reached the point, at w hich the ex
: plosion took place, in seventeen hours w ithout
racing. Beside this, as will be recollected, it
j was stated in the Charleston papers, that the
j steam-guage stood at from 27 to 2"J inches, as
| observed by the passengers. This indicates a
; pressure of steam in the boilers ofJbw thou
sand pounds to the se/uare foot, and though
boilers when proved, should bear a much great-
Jer pressure even than this, to makfe sure of
their security, it cannot be pretended that it is
safe thus to force when passengers are
on board.
The opinion of Mr. Cooper and of Mr. Love
joy, that due care was not observed m main
taining the water at the proper level in the
boilers, is entitled to great weight, as both
these gentlemen are proprietors of steam-en
gines, and perfectly conversant with their
management.
We have heretofore taken occasion to re
commend the Pulaski to the Public. We are
still of opinion that the conduct of her direct
ors and officers in avoiding a race with the
Georgia when she had passengers on board,
was worthy of all praise, and we can now on
ly the more bitterly lament that the confidence
reposed in them by the public, in consequence
ot tlieir conduct on that occasion, should have
been since so fatally abused, and that they
could not have been as much alive to their
heavy responsibility to the public, when they
were running alone, as when ,thc rival boat
w as by their side and taunting them to a race.
(t/WYe give below the Cards, published
by the passengers of the Pulaski, returning
their thanks for the kind attentions of the in
habitants ot \\ ilniington to them, when arriv
ing among them in their exhausted and desti
tute condition. It any thing could alleviate
tiie extreme distress and severity’ of such suf
ferings ns they underwent, it would lie the ev
idences ot good feeling and sympathy, bestow
ed upon tin m by the good citizens of Wilming
ton, which must ever he remembered with
gratitude by themselves and their friends.

TO THE CITIZENS OF WILMINGTON. 1
We, the committee, on the part of .a num
ber of t!ie passengers of the Pulaski brought
to this place, tender to the citizens of Wil-!
niingtui, our heartfelt gratitude for the more
than generous hospitality with which we have!
been received. It is not in words tlmt we can
express our feelings, hut we pray to that God
who lias preserved us, to shower down his
choicest blessings on the people who have re- !
ceived and nourished ns.
We think proper to correct, sortie errors:
made i:i a previous statement relative to this
aecideat. The explosion took place* at. from ■
12 to 15 minutes past II oil Thursday night,
and in about 15 minutes thereafter the boat
separated, the forward part of the boat sunk
about 10 feet, when the hull left her, and her
upper deck rose to the surface —lß men re
maining on it. A great many having been ■
killed or drowned by I lie temporary sinking of I
the forward deck. At about half past twelve, 1
the promenade deck tell off. leaving the stern
of the boat uncovered, which, witlmiitsinking,
drilled oft’, w ith many people on it. plainly vis
ible to those on the forward deck. At this
1 time (half past 12) the small boats left us, not
remaining to pick up those in the water anil
plan-* them on the wrecks. At half past 12,
(’apt. Pearson came to the forward deck on a
plank, having been thrown into the water bv
the explosion; when he reached us no boat
was in sight. On Saturday, th,i.-c oil the for-
I w ard deck picked up i’n ., 1 persons on a small
deck. and on Tuesday, at. 10, A. M. those on
thi bnvard deck, wore, after suffering inored
i ihle hardships, picked up by (‘apt.. Eli Davis,
of tae schooner Henry Uniucrou, of Philadel
phia who not only aided us, but at the request
ol' tliose on the forward deck, weal in .search
of another wreck, and picked up six persons,
moro Os this gentleman it is unnecessary to
snv much, or of (’apt. I’earson—our feelings
and liieir own speak sufficiently.
Daring the time the remains of the upper
part of the forward deck was hunting, ('apt.
Pearson was sanguine that if any boat reach
ed tim shore, we should have immediate re
lief. but unfortunately ilio.se arriving in the boat
expo ssed themselves so confidently that the
boa' was sunk—that all was lost—that no in
ducement appeared, worthy of consideration,
to send boats to look for us. As soon, howev
er, at we arrived, and a hope appeared of sav
ing any one, the most energetic measures were
taken, and we hope that more will be found
and rescued.

Extract of a letter from Cnpt. Pearson, sail

‘‘Wn.MiNGTo.N, June 20th, ISIS.
llr. Francis Sorrell,
Dear Sir, —I suppose, before this reaches
yon. that vou will have hoard of the fate of
The Pulaski. It is a heart-rending catastro
* ph-v It was my watch below, and 1 believe
Gant Dubois was ill the wheel-house, as I
i iia'O heard since. I landed here yesterday af
ter being on the wreck five days with 20 oth
er.-, having been picked up yesterday at !• o’-
j ehek by the schooner Henry Cameron, of
Pliiladeiphia, Captain Smith, ( Dnvisf) After
getting on hoard I prevailed oil the Captain to
; hail to wind and stand to the Eastward.
' We stood on lor one hour and saw nothing.
Tie Captain came down and said to me that
in; would go in and send out a Pilot Boat. 1
1 replied to him that no open boat could venture
oet at such a time. I remonstrated with him
1 and prayed him to go on, and at last he con
sulted to steer a little and luckily I descried a
week to windward, the wind being East. We
tacked ship, and at II took in Mr. Smith, of
A sgusta, Miss Lamar, of Savannah, and Mr.
H itehison, Mr. Lamar’s son, two negro women
anil another passenger, name unknown.
'flie Boat was getting along finely when I
le t the deck, and when the explosion took
place. 1 believe it was carelessness. —1-4
past twelve 1 was blown about 30 yards
intr the air and when I lighted 1 was on my
back with mv left arm completely scalded.
However, I hail all my faculties about me and
immediately set them at work how I should
get to the boat So I started ahead. At tins
tm.e the boat had ranged ahead about 3-Jths
ot a mile. 1 counted 7or 8 heads above iva
-1 ter and*told them to take a pi. ink and make fo r |
the boat. When I got within a hundred yards !
ot the boat I found her going down. 1 stop-1
ped until I saw all her lights disappear. I ox-'
claimed, Is it possible the Pulaski is gone? I
f'vam awav for her as fast as po -ihlm and hav
ing approached within ten yards, I hoard a
terrible crash, and she went down, bows fore
most, and immediately the bows came up 1
again. She broke in two. 1 hallowed for the '
■ boat to take oil’the Ladies that stuck on the]
after part of the boat, and there was not any to ]
lie Hu ll ii 1, as 11 ibbert had lowered one of the
boats and took two men in her through pre
tence that he was going to see whether the ■
j boat was sinking or not. Had he have re- !
mained by the boat, I could have saved a great!
many on the forward deck, more especially the j
Ladies. I would willingly have died if the
passengers could have been saved. Some of
then; would have famished on tiie w reck fori
the want ot water. I assure you it was a j
heart-rending scene. What became of Capt.
Dubois I cannot tell. lam now in bed and i
have heard ot thirteen more saved. I conclude '
by remaining your most ob’t servant.

Several ot our excellent divines arc now
laid aside, by the bronehites, or throat
distemper. I have queried whether it is ]
not owing in some measure la a custom, |
almost peculiar to them, of drinkin r wa
ter frequently while speaking. The old I
clergy of New England never thought ol
having a pitcher of water in their jnilpits, j
more than a loafof bread; yet they preached i
often two hours and prayed one, and nev
er knew nnv thing of this disease.
I have observed that Mr. Buckingham, i
who lectures two hours, never drinks j
while speaking, or alter: and 1 am told ]
tint members of the British Parliament,]
who often speak live or six hours, are nev
er allowed, by the rules of the house, to
drink any tiling at. all w hile speaking. J
have supposed the effect of drinking wa
ter frequently during the exercise, would
have the ame effect on the throat, that l
'veiling the strings ol tiie bow of a violin i
would have upon that instrument while it j
was in use. It would soon heroine hoarse.
At the bursting of a boiler, a stout !
Yankee pbmged i:y!o the river and saved
the life of the captain. As soon as they
readied the shore, the captain was prolific 1
ot thanks to the preserver of his lile. |
“Save your thanks, my hearty,” said the 1
other, for I only saved you from the wa
ter in the hope that 1 should have the
pleasure of seeing you hung for the vviiiul
murder of your passengers.”
Tin; wav t<> n;ia. nun on i; urnr.i: to
iti; so. Never want any tiling Imt what
you must have, mid never buy any thing :
but what you want. Owe no man any
tiling, and heconli iit to lime a little some
thing in vour pocket—or, ns Franklin
would say, always he prepared for a rainy ’
day . 'rile man who lias hut little, and is j
contented with that, is richer than lie who
lias abundance yet wants more. The rich
fear poverty more than the poor. Riches
do not make rich.
