To onr Subscribers.
Iff* As many of our subscribers arc be- j
yond the reach of our agencies, and as the
currency is such as to forbid any other
mode of payment, we would respectfully
request from all who have not yet provided
for their last year's subscription, the re
mittance of a fve dollar note, of which the I
balance above what is due for the last year J
shall be placed to the credit of the present
year's subscription.
MAJ. COOPER.
We observe in the Macon Messenger a long (
■communication from Maj. Mark A. Cooper,
one of the State Right’s candidates for Con
gress, addressed to the State Rights party of
Georgia, in which he avows his preference to
the Anti-Banking-Snb-Treasury policy. Up
on this point, as upon most others in politics,
•conscientous men take different sides, and with
most men, were it anew question, it might be
the occasion of great doubt and hesitation.—
But this is not anew question, and in addition
to all the arguments in favor of Banking in
itself, and of its importance to the present con
dition and prosperity of our country, there is
added the yet stronger argument, that it is
wrong suddenly to change an established or- j
■der of things, upon the faith of which all the I
business of the country is conducted. It is
true we have already seen an immense in
crease of the currency by the development
of the Banking principle, and we have just ex
perienced the ruinous fluctuations of values,
occasioned by the sudden attack of our Gov
ernment upon the Banks. Still we would not
abolish institutions because they are capable of j
disorder and liable to abuse. If it-came to j
that, the time would have fully arrived to con- j
aider, whether or not it w ere proper to a-1
bolish our own government.
For our own part we do believe that in a j
young and growing country like ours, where 1
honesty and diligence, and, in consequence of
them, good credit abound, and where the pre
cious metals are scarce, it is all important to
the general prosperity, that the currency
should, under prudent regulations, be enlarg
ed and extended by means of Banks. And
this end, it is manifest, cannot be accomplish
ed, if the business of the Government is divorc
ed from that of the people and if the Adminis
tration insist upon transacting their immense
business concerns, not for the people and with
the people, but against them and at the same
time cast discredit upon their institutions.
We trust however that the sentiments of
Maj. Cooper may net influence the votes of
those of his party who differ from him on this
point, in any wise to affect his election, as the
verydecided action of the House of Represent
atives upon these measures and the express
ed opinion of nearly the whole country for
bids the expectation that these questions should
be again raised in Congress.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
From the carelessness of some Washington
letter writer, we last week announced the ap
pointment of Mr. Grundy of Tennessee to the
office of Postmaster General. This was an er
ror. Mr. Gruudy has been nominated and
confirmed in the appointment of Attorney Gen
eral of the United States. It is said that he
owes his appointment, not to any remarkable
professional ability, but to the personal friend
ship of the President
It must, doubtless, be a relief to Mr. Grun
dy, thus to retire upon a Government pension,
in reward of his long services to the Adminis
tration; as it would hardly have been consist
ent with his principles to have retained
the seat, which he has so long held in the Sen
ate, after the receipt of the instructions for
warded to him last Spring by the Tennessee
Legislature, to vote against the Sub Treasury
Bill.
latest and most ingenious elec
tioneering contrivance that we have heard of,
has been the engagement of Mr. Forrest, the
distinguished actor, by the loco focos of New
York. He was employed on the 4th inst., at
the Tabernacle, the largest public hall in the
city, to address the people. By the following
extract from the Courier & Enquirer, it would
seem that his attraction was even greater upon
the boards of the Tabernacle, than upon those
of the Park Theatre:
Democracy and Mr. Forrest. Tickets
were issued to the elite of Tammany Hall and
Loco Focoism, to hear the Oration of Mr. b or
reax at the Tabernacle. This aristocratic dis
tintion gave great offence—and one of the dis
anpointed swore that he had never ‘had any dif
ficulty in seeing Mr. Forrest before for oO
cents—but that there was such a rush to see
him in the new play of I»co Foco that he
could not get even a pit ticket for love or mo
ney.’ He consoled himself, however, «ith the
idea that he would not play it half as well as
he used to do Coriolanus.
‘Vast numbers,’ says the Post,‘were prevent
ed from attending by not being able to procure
tickets and numbers equally great were denied
admittance at the door of the building.’
i THE LAST FIGHT IN CONGRESS.
The tedium of legislative life at Washing
ton has been occasionally during the past ses
sion relieved, and the nation disgraced by the
personal couflicts of the members of Congress.
It seems however, that one fatal duel and two
pugilistic matches were not a sufficient allow
ance for one session, and it was impossible for
the members to separate without a scene in
closing in keeping with the violent principles
of Club and Lynch law, which have been es
tablished in certain primary assemblies of the
people, and seem now in a fair way to be re
cognized at Washington as the supreme law of
the land. We take the following from the
Charleston Mercury:
The sitting on Saturday, continued in the
Senate till four, and in the House, till eight o’-
clock, on Sunday morning ; most of the time
was spent in vain endeavors to enforce the at
tendance of absent members. Some of them
were taken from their beds, wearied and sick,
and brought to the bar of the House, to explain
the reason of their absence. Among them was
Mr. Maury, of Tennessee, who was excused,
after the payment of fees to the Serjeant-at-
Arms. Mr. Maury did not like the treatment
he received, and some words between him and
his colleague, Mr. Campbell, on the subject,
ended in a bloody and brutal fight, in the lobby
behind the bar. Maury is much injured. He
struck the first blow', and Campbell, who is the
most powerful young man in the House, milled
him cruelly. The parties in th* affray appear
to have been equally culpable. No notice was
taken of the affair by the House. The House
had just adjourned when it happened.
STEAM SHIP FUL'PON.
This new Government steamer now seems
to be admitted to be, like the administration
who built her, a mistake, and as the vessel cost
three hundred thousand dollars, it would seem
to be rather a serious one. We make the fol
lowing comparison of her capabilities with
those of the Great Wastem, from data con
tained mostly in an article in the Army and
Navy Chronicle:
The Great Western is 1(180 tons
Pow er of engine equal to 400 horses
Consumption of fuel per day, 24 tons
Speed per hour, 12 miles |
Can carry fuel, Sec. for 30 days. |
The Fulton is 720 tons
Power of engine equal to 500 horses ;
Consuption of fuel per day, 40 tons
Speed per hour, . 1(5 miles i
Can carry fuel, &c. for 15 days I
From this it would seem that the causes of
failure are not unlike those, which have led to
the embarassment of the Government. That
is to say, instead of ‘ the simple machine,' de
signed for her, she is over burdened with too
cumberous an engine, for which she is unable
to provide the supplies.
' MEANS OF THE TREASURY.
Official.—Treasury Notes. The whole
amount of Treasury notes authorised by the
act of 12th of Oct. 1837, has been issued by
the Treasurer of the United States, viz:
810,000,000.
The amount returned to the Treasury for
duties and lands, and in payment of debts, is
about 87,570,000.
There has been issued up to this day, under
provisions of the act of 21st of May, 1838,
54,iH)4,014 25
Levi Woodbury, Sec’y of the Treasury.
From this it will be seen that there are out
of the old emission, $3,430,000
The new emission, 4,904,014
Total Treasury Rags, $6,334,014 !
Deduct from ten millions $4,904,014, and
we have $5,095,986 of notes to be issued un
der the act of 21st of May, 1838.
In addition to the above, we suppose the
three and a half million of the old emission
will be re-issued, which with the contemplat
ed sale of six millions of the U. S. Bank bonds
will give the Government fifteen and a half
millions at least (even if all customs are paid
in Treasury notes) to provide for its expenses
from the adjournment of Congress, till its ses
sion in December next. We should imagine
this to be ample for all purposes, not only'of
carrying on the government for these six
months, but of electioneering; as in 1829,
when The Party first took the reins of Gov
ernment, twelve and a half millions of dollars
were found sufficient for the total public ex
penditure for the whole year.
CANADA.
The wann sympathy, which is felt all along j
the Canadian frontier, particularly in Michi
gan, in favor of the revolutionary movement
in the Canadas, is far from being entirely
checked. About the first of this month, it
was designed to attack and seize the arms and
stores deposited in the U. S. Arsenal in Michi
gan. But the project was given up, after the
danger attending ibrexecution was discovered.
It is said, that nearly one thousand insur
gents have landed in Upper Canada, near the
river Thames, and have rescued a number of
the prisoners of the Canadian Government.
Nothing is more likely than that these re
ports come to us in an exaggerated form.
Yet they give evidence of the unhappy jealou
sy that is still felt by our countrymen, of the
British Government, and of a mischievous dis
position to interfere with its affairs and embar
rass its administration.
We have received from “Glynn” a valuable
'communication upon the subject of Education
which shall appear in our next
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
GEN. CHARLES FLOYD.
We learn that this gallant officer and his
suite reached Savannah last week, on his re
turn from the Northwestern part of the State.
He was received by the military of that city
with the marked distinction due to his impor
tant public services in the Cherokee country.
COL HAZZARD.
We make the following extract from a note
of this gentleman, which has been handed to
us. The watchful attention to the interests of
j Glynn County, which Col. H. has always so
zealously represented, is appreciated through
| out the County; and much regret is expressed
: that he feels obliged to discontinue his servi- j
1 ces:
“ May I request you to say to my fellow cit
izens of Glynn, that I feel very grateful to them
1 for their long continued kindness and confi
dence, and regret that business which requires
my personal attention this winter, will deprive
me of the pleasure of representing their inter-'
est at the ensuing session of the Legislature of
Georgia.”
NORTH-EASTERN BOUNDARY.
On one of the last days of the session of i
Congress, Mr. Fairfield of Maine, offered the
following resolutions in relation to this sub-!
ject, which were unanimously agreed to. This!
action, on the part of the House, may be re-1
garded as an earnest of the spirit, with which
the people are prepared to maintain our rights
in that quarter, in spite of the obstinate dispo
sition of encroachment, which has been man
ifested by the British authorities:
Resolved, That, after a careful examination
and deliberate consideration of the whole coa- (
troversy between the United States and Great!
Britain relative to the Northeastern boundary
of the former, the House of Representatives
does not entertain a doubt of the entire prac
ticability of running and marking that boun
dary in strict conformity with the stipulations
of the definitive treaty of peace of 1783 ; and
entertain a perfect conviction of the justice
and validity of the title of the United States,
to the full extent of all the territory in dispute )
between the two Powers.
Resolved, further, That, considering that j
more than half a century has elapsed since the J
conclusion of that treaty ; considering the ex- j
traordinary delay which has hitherto marked |
the negotiations and proceedings of the Gov- j
ernments of the two countries in their endeav- j
or amicably to settle this controversy; and
considering the danger of mutual irritation
and collisions upon the border of kindred and
friendly nations from further procrastination,
this Housejcannot forbear to express an earn
est desire that the pending negotiation should
be brought to a close, and the final decision of
the dispute be made as early as practicable.
PENNSYLVANIA BANKS.
We are hapyy to observe that Gov. Ritncr
of Pennsylvania, has issued his Proclamation
requiring the Bunks of that State to resume
specie payments on or before the thirteenth day
of next month. In our last we stated that a
Convention of the Philadelphia Banks had re
commended a resumption on the first of Au
gust, and vve presume that this proclamation of
Gov. Ritner is designed to oblige the country
banks of that State to co-operate with those of
the city to the extent of their ability. The
Banks of Pennsylvania are in general in a
sound condition, but we should not be surpris
ed to hear of two or three in the interior being
broken up by this peremptory call to meet their
liabilities.
New Bank in New York. Under the
new free banking law of New York, the .Yorth
American Trust and Banking Company has
been organized, and its first subscription of
two millions has been filled. Joseph D. Beers
and Myndert Van Schaick, Esq’rs. are elected
President and Vice President. It will be re-1
collected that these Banks are obliged to hold !
but one eighth of their capital in specie, and
are at liberty to invest the remainder in state j
Stocks, &c., tiie amount of their issues being !
regulated by State Commissioners. The ef
fect of this must be, very much to increase the
currency of the country, without at all dimin-'
ishing the security of the public. The insti
tution above mentioned, is the first to avail it
self of the provisions of the new law.
the Northern papers come filled with
complaints of the heat of the weather. The
New York Commercial Advertiser says,—
j “ There is no sleeping in this city, unless a
■ mong the loafers who enjoy the luxury of hori
: zontal accommodations jn the Park and on the
I Battery. The sky is as of burnished brass and
] the earth like heated iron,” Sic. &c. Similar
I complaints are made in Philadelphia. There
has been no such heat as that above complain
ed in this more Southern latitude. The tlier
| mometer here does not stand so high by four
i_or five degrees as in New Y'ork, and the re
freshing sea breeze which the Spaniard so ap
propriately names “ The Doctor,” sets in reg
ularly each day and tempers the atmosphere to
exactly the most luxurious degree of enjoy
ment.

The Pulaski. —We stated, in our pa
per before the last, that we were taking
measures, which we thought calculated to
fasten the awful responsibility of the loss
of the Pulaski upon the shoulders which
should bear it.
Since then, our unwillingness to injure
upon suspicion, or to bring serious and
damning charges against the humblest of
God’s creatures, without sufficient proof,
has induced us to trace out the thousand
and one rumors connected with the loss
of this boat,(all of which tended to incul
cate one individual.) The result is, that
we do not think the evidence is such as
would warrant us in arraigning him at
the bar of public opinion. VVe are indis
posed cither to “ mitigate justice,” or to
do a wrong to a fellow being, which years j
of repentance could not repair. As we j
value the public good, therefore, and our i
own happiness, we must be wary how we
permit crime to go unpunished or lightly
to impeach any man with so grave a charge.
We here promise, however, to make dili-j
gent inquiry, and swear to make true
presentment of any criminality w hich may
come to our knowledge, in the investiga
tion of this distressing affair.
YV e would have deemed it unnecessary,
under the circumstances of the case, to
have said thus mucli had not our article
already referred to, been copied into pa
pers north and south, and public expecta
tion been thereby aroused to hear what
we had to say. [Wilmington N. C. Ad

FROM THE FRONTIER.
Sackets Harbor, July 12, }
I o’clock, P. M. (
About 10 o’clock this morning, the steamer
Telegraph, in the service of the United States .
arrived from a cruise among the Thousand
Isles, and brought with her two prisoners of .
Johnston’s gang of desperadoes, and Johnston’s
famous twelve oared boat, so much extolled
for its swiftness.
The London Chronicle of June 7, contains a
full report of the dinner given to Sir Francis
Head, on the 6th. When the health of Sir
Francis was proposed, he rose and commenced
a speech in which, he said, he was anxious to
explain what had been the conduct of the j
North American colonies, and that of the Unit- j
ed States and their citizens; but before he !
had entered upon the details of his exposition,
he was so much overcome by his embarrass
ment that he was utterly unable to go on, and
after several unavailing attempts, resumed his (
seat amidst loud cheers.”

Statue of Washington. The following
l from the Cooperstown Freeman’s Journal,
j gives the only definite information we recol
j lect to have seen of the progress making by
* Greenongh, the sculptor, with the statue of
Washington, ordered by Congress. Tt will be j
seen that the figure has been modelled, but I
that the delay has been mainly owing to the j
difficulty of procuring, in an entire block, the j
marble which is to perpetuate the artists de- J
sign—weighing as it does in the rough, some [
sixty tons. —[Albany Argus.
‘Mr. Fennimore Cooper has a letter from Mr.
Greenough the sculptor, of a date as late rs
May 6,1838, in which that gentleman speak
ing of the statue for the rotunda of the Capi
tol, says—‘The statue of Washington, qfter
cruel delay, from cholera,quarantines and the
state of the roads, is now in full progress.
The marble promises well, and we are near
the surface. The block weighed 1:40,000 lbs.
when we commenced on it. It is fast losing j
its chips. In another part of the same letter |
the artist says, ‘1 have just finished Venus
Victrix, and am now preparing a statue from
the Paradise Lost; Abdiel as described at the |
j close of the Fifth Book.’
j ‘As the art of the statuary is so little under- |
: stood in this country, it may he well to ex- )
plain why a statue that was ordered four years j
j since, should now be just commenced in the j
! marble. The figure is first modelled in clay, 1
by the artist himself. In this state it receives!
i its general form with all that is intellectual,or I
its attitude and expression. A good artist fre-!
j quently consumes years on a single work, j
while in the clay. When modelled as it is;
j called, the whole is covered with plaster ofi
I Paris, the clay is dug out, and a firm mould is j
i left, with a concave impression of the figure.
; Fresh plaster is introduced after oiling the in
■ ner surface, and when the concave mould is
J broken, a regular statue in plaster remains.—
! This is done to produce a statue in a firm sub
stance like plaster, instead of leaving it in the
| clay, which requires to be constantly moisten
led to prevent its falling to pieces. The work
in the maable now commences with measure
-1 ments taken from the plaster cast When or
dinary workmen have wrought the stone down
to what Mr. Greenough calls ‘the surface,’ the
artist takes it in hand again, and gives those
finishing touches with the chisel, that produce
the appearance of flesh, muscles and bones.
This finishing forms the merit of the detail,
as the ideal, or the expression constitutes the
I intellectual character of a work of this sort.’
Scene at a Boarding House. ‘Good
morning, Mrs. T ,’ throwing our valise
from the chaise, and preparing to alight.
‘We can’t accommodate you, sir.’
‘Have you boarders?’
‘No, sir, but we can’t take you.’
‘Havn’t I always conducted myself like a

‘Yes. I spose so—in a worldly way; but you
are a sinner, young man, —you don’t believe
j as I do.’
‘Why, what do you believe that I don’t?’
‘You don’t believe that we all shall be damn

‘No, not all—but I believe some will.”
‘How many?’
‘Fifty thousand, perhaps.’

[Vicksburg Register
J Western Life. A mason recently locat-1
ed at Lyons, Illinois, writes to a friend in this
| city, in this wise, under date of June, 1838:
While on the railway between Ottawa and !
| Juliet, the stage halted at a log house, to
change horses and give the passengers their
only chance for a supper, affording likewise
an opportunity to thaw out our benumbed
limbs, and return thanks for having forded the
multiplicity of ‘slews’ and quagmires in safety.
We paid three shillings each for tea, and salt
pork, with ‘fixens,’ and then re-embarked in
our vehicle; the outside passengers consoling
themselves with the cheering prospect of hav
ing to alight at the next like Her
cules of yore, put shoulders to wheel—but un
like him in one respect, for the said ‘outsides’
were emulating Job while standing in a liquid
which proved a ‘shin moistener’ by leaking in
over the top of their boots. On another occa- 1
sion, while changing the team, one of our
company enquired of the log house occupant
what land sold for by the acre adjoining his
farm, (which by the way is six miles from tim
ber.) ‘Three dollars,’ was the answer. ‘But
what am Ito do for wood?’ ‘O! you can plant
black locust—it’ll grow big enough to make
rails in eight years from the seed.’ ‘I can’t
wait so long. I should want it immediately to
build with, and enclose my field.’ ‘Wall,’ re- j
sponded the Hoosier, ‘people can’t expect to
find every thing in anew country where there
ain’t nobody, nor nothin’ to do with.' ‘But
there is one tiling,’ remarked the traveller,
‘that people may reasonably expect to find on
your tables. I allude to the wild fowl—so
plenteous in every part of the State: but by
the Great Gun that defends the passage of the
Dardanelles, I 'have travelled this territory
south and north, during a period of three
months, and set at divers tables, but rat me
and my kind, if ever I had set me a
morsel of any other meat but salt pork and
salt beef. Yes, I have at last found out the
terms ‘wild ducks’—‘prairie liens,’ ‘woodcocks,’
&c.—their definition may be all summed up in
two syllables, to wit —salt porkT After driv
ing all night, the stage forded the Dos Plaines
river, anu entered the village of Juliet at six
the next morning. This is quite a pretty
place, and were it not for its low situation in
the vast ravine which extends from near Lake
Michigan to the Illinois river, believed by all
who have seen it to u have once been the out
line of that lake, it would be a desirable place
of residence—but its inferior location combin
ed with its almost entire destitution of trees us
a means of mitigating the heat of the sun in
summer and as a shield from the winter’s in
tense northern blast, of which eastern people
can have no just idea until they experience
the same—these objections united, must pre
vent its growth, to the great gain of Main
Lockport the adjoining town, which being
built- on a bluff with its main street thickly
shaded with forest trees, and commanding u
view of the Des Plaines river and the Indian
mounds iu the level valley below, has conse
quently superior advantages to attract new
comers. At the stage houses were these fear
ful inscriptions placarded on the walls—‘No
Michigan money received here for stage fare'.’
Scarce a farmer in the State but had his pock
ets burnt more or less by bills of the unehar
tered banks of the State of Michigan, a great
majority of which, it is the general opinion,
will never be worth one fraction to the bill
holders. The unhappy expose by the Bank
Commissioners of the glass and nails compos
ing their specie put the ‘grand finale’ to their
| credit, and even the bills of the old chartered
| banks could be bought in towns on the Illinois
! river for 25 cents on a dollar. The three de
j grees of that money are ns follows:—lst,
i Banks of the city of Detroit, called ‘Red Dog.’
) 2<l. Chartered banks in the country,‘Wild Cat.’
| 3d, Banks instituted under the new general
banking law, ‘Catamount.’ The stage stopped
on the road to take in a passenger who handed
John a bill, which was instantly returned, ac
companied bv the phrase, ‘Don’t take red dog'. 1 ’
‘No?’ ejaculated the other. ‘Why, that are
kind o’ money, they tell me, is jest as good as
the specie and lighter to carry.’ Jt may be
lighter to curry. What other inoney’ve you
got?’ ‘Nothing but wild cal and catamount. O!
j Here’s two bills that rank next to old gold—
| the‘Bank of Cold Water,’and the ‘Bank of
Sandstone.’ ‘Shan’t take ’em—they’re cala
| mount'.' ‘Then I’ll foot it. I took all o’ this
for good money, and it’s got to go! You may
! drive on, Aboinilique—sorry you don’t know
I your interest!’ We now ascended a rolling
1 piece of ground, our team proceeding leisure
! ly along to balance the trouble of hailing'
| through a swampy lot, when we were hailed
j by a ‘ginewine Illinois Sucker’ who wished
j passage to Chicago. ‘I can pay you,’ said he
| to our coachman, ‘in money that is money, and

Miss Ellen Tree. The following is a
Iloosier’s description of Miss Tree’s acting in
St. Louis:
‘l’ll tell you an almighty strange thing of
how that gal (Ellen Tree) works Hie feelings
of critters. When she was acting Julia in
our parts, the door keepers came away in, foe
it was tarnation cold, and ik» one took no no
tice of the doors, cos no more could get in;
when an old bear sniffled his way into the
town, and finding no one astir, for they were
all at the play, wlmt docs the critter do, but
shifts his way there too, and crawls up behind
the boxes. I guess he meant to sup off us
chaps: but howaver, he listened, and listened,
till he got quite affkcted, and so molified, that
he would never go man-eating any more; next
night he came again and brought his wife; and
