Northern Mail.
We are indebted to the Hon. Jas. A. Meri
wether for the following communication of the
Post Master General, upon the subject of the
mail failures, Ac., between this and Washing
ton city. Accompanying this report, are seve
ral tables, showing the number of failures repor
ted to the Department, on the several routes be
tween Washington city and Augusta, both go
ing North and coming South, from the Ist July
to the 20th December, 1842.
This report shews that on all the routes, there
had been reported, coming South, 49 failures, 28
of which ?. ere between Weldon and Charleston;
and going North, there had been reported 61
failures, 35 of which occurred between Charles
ton and Weldon )
Report of the Postmaster General,
In relation to the transportation of the mail between
Washington and. Augusta, in Georgia.
Dec. 31,1842. —Ordered to lie upon the table.
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT, i
December 28, 1842. j
Sir: —1 have the honor to state, in answer to a
resolution of the House of Representatives, in
quiring “what, if any, arrangements hare been
made by the Post Othce Department to secure
the more regular transportation of the mail be
tween Washington and Augusta, Georgia: how
many failures of the mail between those places
have been reported to the Department between
the Ist day of December instant; what contract
ors have been fined, how often, and to what a
mount, during the same period,” that proceedings
are in progress to obtain new contracts lor trans
porting the United States mail over the great
route between Washington and Augusta, and
also upon the other routes in the Southern States.
The new contracts will go into operation on the
Ist of July next, which is as soon as the course
prescribed by law will allow.
Under the present contracts, perfect connex
ions are not made at Charleston, South Caroli
na, between the Wilmington boats and the Au
gusta cars, on the trip going south, neither in
the actual running nor in the contract arrange
ments. The contract with the Weldon, Wil
mington, and Charleston Rail Road and Steam
boat Company was made about for years ago,
before their Railroad was completed. In the
contract with the Charleston and Augusta Rail
road Company, the Department had to agree to
certain hours of departure and arrival, and re
linquish the power usually reserved of chang
ing them at its pleasure. After the Weldon
railroad was completed, the length of time for
the performance of the trip to Charleston was
shortened, agreeably to the original agreement
made in anticipation of the change. This in
creased the speed from the North to Charleston,
so as to make a gain of a business day to that
city, but not enough to make a gain of the en
tire twenty-four hours. And as the Charleston
and Augusta Railroad Company refused, and
still refuse, to delay their departures some two
or three hours, till 9 or 10 o clock in the morn
ing, Augusta and other points beyond Charles
ton have not derived full advantage from the in
crease of speed effected between the Roanoke and
Charleston, by the completion of' the Weldon
railroad. When the state of the weather and
navigation permit the boats to run ahead of
their schedule time, there is no failure between
Charleston and Augusta. Frequent efforts have
been made by the Department to induce the
Charleston and Augusta Railroad Company to
delay their departures until after the arrival of
the Wilmington boats, or to fix an hour for
leaving Charleston that would ordinarily admit
of such arrival, but without success. The De
partment, as already remarked, had not the pow
erto order the change, against the consent of the
company.
These disconnexions and delays are to be a
vsided in the new contracts upon this line, or a
different route will be adopted for the great
Southern mail to Augusta and beyond. The
service is laid out in the advertisement recently
issued for proposals so as to form perfect con
nexions at Charleston, as well as a l other points,
to proscribe a despatch between Weldon - and
Charleston that will maintain that connexion,
and to fix an hour of departure south from the
latter place late enough in the day to enable the
Wilmington boats to arrive in time. To pro
vide for the exigency which would arise if the
companies should refuse to enter into contracts
on thes»terms, or if, for other reasons, it shall
be deemed, expedient to withdraw the great
Southern mad f ronl this route, the Department
proposes in the advertisement to contract for car
rying it by steamboats and coaches from Wil
mington to Waccanww river, and thence in
stoamboats, through Winyaw bay, to Charles
to*. Another mode is provided in the adver
tieement, viz: to send the great mail bv railroad
to Raleigh, and to convey it thence in mail wa
gons, at the speed of six miles to the hour lo
Columbia, South Carolina, to connect with’the
railroad there, or through direct to Augusta, Ga
Which of these three routes will be adopted
will remain for decision until the Ist of May
■ext, alter proposals upon each shall have been
received and duly considered.
The disconnexions and delays occurring at
other points on the line between Washington
ane Augusta are the result of defective perform
ance on the part of the contractors, or caused bv
means beyond their control. Where not caused
by circumstances which they are unable to con
trol, deductions of pay have been exacted for
the failure—thus exerting the reserved power in
the Department to enforce a performance.

Postmaster General.

Those even of mir readers who may differ
from Mr Botts in polilii's—and indeed those
who differ from him in opinion on the very ques
tion which gave rise to the subjoined letter—
cannot brtt respect the spirit w ith which he vin
dicates his rights, and repels the officious and
unauthorized interference of the Legislature cf
this. State with the discharge of his duties as a
Representative of the People.
Virginia Legislature.
The Speaker laid before the House the fol
lowing communication from the Hon. John Mi
nor Botts, which was read and laid on the ta
ble :
Washington, Januarys, 1813.
7b the Speakers and Members of the Semite and
House of Delegates of Virginia:
1 have received, through the acting Governor
oil he State, a copy of the resolution adojked by
your honorable bodies, instructing the Senators
and remieslinglhe KepresOntatives of Virginia,
in Congress, to use their best efforts to procure
the immediate passage of a hill refunding to
General Jackson the amount of a line, witli in
terest, w hich was imposed on him in the year
18] 5, by the judicial tribunals of the country, for
a gross contempt of court, intended with a vio
lent assumpt ion of authority and dangerous in
fraction of the Constitution—declaring martial
law and suspending the writ of habeas corpus,
subsequent to the period when the ratification
of peace was known to him.
My extreme reluctance to gi re any vote for
which I should not be prepared to furnish a
plausible reason, if questioned by those who
have the right to inquire into all matters connec
ted with my legislative action here, together with
an unaffected disposition, on all suitable occa
sions, to comply with the reasonable desire of
the people of my State, as furnished by a legis
lative expression of the public will, induce me
to inquire upon what ground this claim is inten
ded by the Legislature to rest.
If upon the ground privateclaim, 1 would
respectfully ask the favor to be furnislied w ith
the testimonv laid beforebet :*•'' ’
v. ’ uo d ' * ')“ ample, to have ecqi- |

wiin anv offence against the Constitution and
Lawsofhis country.
If I labor undei a misapprehension in suppo
sing the claim to rest on either ol the grounds
above referred to, then I know of none, other
than that of a political claim, upon which the
Legislature canid have requested me to vote for
a remission of that fine; and, in which event,
as I could not approve orjustiiy the object, I
should claim to be excused from aiding in the
accomplishment of the end.
An inquisitive mind might be excused for
asking why, after the lapse of so long a period,
this question is pressed on the first Whig Con
gress that has convened for upwards of one
eighth ot a century ? And why, when the pow
er was in the hands of Gen. Jackson’s friends,
they did not themselves exercise it ? And an
uncharitable mind might ascribe it to a parly
movement, to excite the sympathies of a portion
of the community against those who might not
acquiesce in your views. But lam neither so
inquisitive nor so uncharitable.
1 know too well the high and patriotic consid
erations which at all times govern your action,
to indulge in an inquiry or suspicion so far re
moved from your real objects, and so prejudi
cial to your patriotism.
But, in any aspect of the subject in which it
can be viewed, it is not unworthy of remark, that
there are five of my constituents to be found, in
part composing your honorable bodies, and four
of these five, if I am not misinformed, voted
against the request you have made: from which
1 might reasonably infer, unless they arc to be
supposed to have misrepresented their constitu
ents, that, in yielding to the very earnest desire
I indulge to Oblige so large a number of respec
table gentlemen as have made the request, I
might run some risk of disobliging, if not offend
ing, a much larger number of equally respiksta
ble gentlemen, who have stronger claims on my
services and votes in Congress. And I take
leave to say, that I have too much confidence in
the genuineness of your democracy to suppose
that you desire me to do what the constituents
whom I represent would not sanction or ap
prove. My means of communicating, however,
with my cimstituents, are abundant and conve
nient, and J shall not fail to avail myselfofthem,
to ascertain whether it will be agreeable to
them that 1 should make this disposition of the
public funds. In which event, 1 will promiseto
give the subject the most respectful and atten
tive consideration. And, in the meantime, 1
subscribe myself, with sentiments of the highest
esteem, most respectfully, yourobedient servant,

tion of the United States Bank. In treating ol
the evils that afflict society, it is necessary to ex
amine into the causes of them, that a remedy
may be devised; and the Governor, in tracing
the present gloom to the excesses that followed
the abandonment by the General Government of
its duty to regulate commerce and furnish a
sound national covertible currency, but imitates
the prudence of the mariner who ascertains the
precise position of hi s ship by computing the
distances from the point of departure. Forget
ful of the lessons taught by experience is a fea
ture of the times, and a public functionary does
well who keeps before the eyes of the people the
real source whence their misfortunes flow. We
are apt to attribute to present and proximate
causes the disasters which have their origin in
remote ones. The disturbances in our banking
institutions have not produced the evils that are
upon us: these are rather the signs and tokens of
distemperatiire than the disease itself. The
real malady is the failure of the U. States Gov
ernment, to fulfill an important function neces
sary to the life of trade—that of furnishing a cur
rency every where of equal value with specie;
and it is fit that the people be reminded of it often
that they may not lose sight of it by regarding
too intently some of its symjltoms,
Governor Roman's suggestions respecting the
protection of domestic industry are based, in our
opinion, upon the widest views of American
policy. We hope to see the day when the doc
trine of "home prat ectiiiri’ will settle into axioms
of Government: when the Congress of the U.
States will not consider it a duty lo legislate for
the benefit of every' people on the globe but our
own; when the American tanner, the American
manufacturer, the American merchant, and the
American laborer will occupy, exclusively, the
consideration and care of the American Legisla
ture. — N. O. Bee.
Naval.—Active measures are injprogress, ac
cording to general report, which we have no
doubt is correct, to place in commission as many
vessels of war as are available. The principal
dock-y ards will soon be alive with the bustle of
preparation.
Beginning at the North, at Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, the new and beautiful sloop-of-war
Saratoga is now ready for sea; her destination
is the coast of Africa.
At Boston, the new brig Bainbridge is nearly
ready, and the store ship Erie will sail for the
Pacific in the course of the present month. The
frigate Cumberland, launched last year, is to be
fitted out, and the frigate Potomac is undergoing
repairs.
At New York, the new frigate Savannah is in
a state of forwardness; the sloop-of-war Vin
cennes is commissioned; the brig Somers is
ready' for service: and ihe brig Porpoise is about
to sail for the coast of Africa.
At Norfolk, the frigates Brandywine and Ma
cedonian; the sloops-ot-war Levant, Warren,
and St. Louis; the store-ship Lexington; and
the new brig Truxton, will soon be, if they are
not already, in a condition to receive their ofli
cers and crews.
It has been intimated that the Brandywine is
bound for the East Indies. One or two sloops
will also be required for that station, and one or
two more for the Pacific.
There are 1 first class frigates on the stocks,
viz: the Santee, at Portsmouth; the Sabine, at
New York; the Raritan, at Philadelphia; and
the St. Lawrence, at Norfolk; the two last ready
for launching.
According to the estimates submitted to Con
gress, the naval force to be employed during this
and the yearfollowing will be distributed as fol

to Mier, and captured the town; but a shower 01

that they coul.l nut u.c theii 1 iff?- to advantage,
and the Mexican army arrived, and after a des
perate engagement, retook the town, and cap
tured about 2)0 or 250 01 our tro.qsi. During
the engagement, our troops capturel seven pie
ces of artillery, which were retaken by the Mex
icans.
About 400 .Mexicans were killed jn this en
gagement-only four Texans were killed. It is
not known upon n hat terms the Texans surren
dered. Only two I exans escaped, who were
found at Gonzales by o:.tr army when it returned
and it is trom these two men that Mr. Needham
derived this news. The names of these two
men are Chalk :nd Sinclair. They say that
they secreted themselves in some canes in -r
near the town, while the Texans xvere fighting
in the stone houses, and tiiev left in the night af
ter the firing had ceased. Thev say also, that
the fight lasted from 12 o’clock 'till i P. M. the
next day, and miring all this time only four Tex
ans were killed, and four hundred Mexicans were
killed ! This story seems quite too incredible
for belief, 'dhv army under Gen. Somervell
heard nothing of it until thev reached Bexar.
Mr. Needham says that Sinclair repotted that
the Mexicans were commanded by Gen. Am
pudia and Canales, and that the whole Mexican
force was 1,500 or 2,000.
Mr. Needham mentions that our army, after
the capture of Laredo, moved down on the east
bank ot the Rio Grange to the mouth of the Sa
lado, and found < i::rial“s wiin 300 men, ready to
dispute the passage, h:i' our troops crossed with
out difficulty, and he retired without firing a gun.
'l’be troops then proceeded to Guerrero and en
camped near the town, the Al-adc came out and
informed the general that, the Mexican troons
had fled, and tnat he woulq ininisit any articles
they required.
The General made a requisition for the arti
cles most needed by the sol diers, and thej’ were
promptly furnished by the Aleade. Gen. Som
erville believing that hi' force was too weak to
proceed further, otuers for the army to re
turn to Bexar. This gave dissatisfaction to a
large party of the troops, and inconsequence the
division was formed, anu ibe party under Col.
Fisher refusing to obey orders, lefube command
as before mentioned, and went down the river to
capture the small town above lAfalamoras.

from St. Johns, E. I-'., where she had been de

who left here some four or five weeks since, for
the Southern part ot the Territory, for the pur

as surpassing their most sanguine expectations.
We understand these gentlemen ate making ar

Camp Hallover, Jan. 10.
We arrived here on Tuesday last, and amus
ed ourselves in gunning, fishing, &<-. On Sat
urday last we left this for Fort Pierce, but, after
proceeding 20 miles down the Indian River La
goon, we met Messrs. Hutchinson, Loring &
Russell, (who left St. Augustine some weeks
since on an exploring expedition to Jupiter In
let,) and relumed with them. They have made
variousdiscoveriesand have visited places where
the foot of a white man has never been before.
These gentlemen started for Jupiter originally,
but were landed at Key AVest, and from thence
camedown to Jupiterin a small schooner. Our
party are vety anxious to return with Mr.
Hutchinson’s to St. Augustine, but, owing to
some delay in obtaining our principal boats, we
will have to remain some ten days, mean while
we intend proceeding down to Fort Pierce. We
have all enjoyed excellent health since we left
your city. Yours, &c.
The Late Earthquake.—The Earthquake
of the Jth instant appears to have been telt’verv
generally throughout the West and Southwest.
At Teire-haute (Indiana) its effects are thus
described by the editor of the Courier:
The writer of this felt the desk under his arm
lo shake for a minute—The same was observed
by hands in the office at the type stands—as well
as by a number of citizens through the town.
The steamer Chieftain, which was ascending
the Ohio at the time, felt the shock sensibly. ]i
was accompanied by a dull, rumbling noise, as
if the boat was running over a log oh the bottom
of the river. A passenger taken on board short
ly' atter, at Mills’ Point, Ky., stated that the shock
was so severe there ns to throw down chimneys,
and the bricks were toppled down front several
others it was reported at various other points on
the river, that the shock «as heavy, and it was
also said the ground sunk in several places at
New Madrid.
At St. Louis the shock was sensibly felt at 9,
P, M. The bells in the public and private
houses were rung, and great consternation pre
vailed in the city. The Republican of the 6th
inst. gives the following particulars:
On Wednesday eyenmg, about 9 o’clock, ihe
citizens of Nt. Louis were thrown into considera
ble trepidation by a shock ofan earthquake. The
shock was nearly a minute in duration, and so
severe as to make the timbers in some houses
crack, and generally the glasses upon sideboards
jingle and rattle, and the chairs and tables to
rock and shake. Persons who were in the third
and fourth stories felt it most sensibly, and in
many instances fled from their rooms; it was
however, sensibly felt by persons in other apart
ments. ii wasaccompailiedby a rumbling noise
like the rolling ot a heavy carriage over the
pavements. Wc have various statements as to
the direction of the. vibration, bnt those in the
best position to observe, and coolest at the time
say il was froui sVest to East. It was the sever
est shock felt in this gjty forseveral years, and is
the second felt within about lltrec months.
The Cassville (Geo.) Pioneer'qfihe 6th, .says
that a considerable shock of an earthquake g as
felt in Cassville, on Wednesday night, at about
9 o’clock.—lt commenced witli a heavy tremb
ling motion and then ceased, by roekißg a few
times cast and west.
The Washington (Geo.) News, of the sth inst.,
says.- I ‘A shock of an earthquake was felt by
many persu»*s j|t this town last} night, aboat 9 J
o’clock. It was Mrfffoifnt to alarm several per
sons, though not to damage g;iy crockery, the
highest acheivement of any earthqaafcfs in this I

an occ&ence -dlitf to have taken place in that

“Aarjage suddenly slopped, the door was

portion as their attention isdirecied to th« sub
ject.
We night quote from many respectable jour
nals detided approbation respect
ing thiamportant movement. The iwo extracts
which we shall subjoin are taken as the more
appropriate, because they may serve to show the
manne in which the subject is working its way
in the Binds of the people. The Albany Daily
Adoertur, utter a brief exposition of the plan,
says:
View like these, supported with great intelli
gence, ibilitv, and perseverance, have already
euabledMr. j olmson to obtain a w’ide and strong
hold onlhe minds of a great number of well in
formed,reflecting and sagacious men, and their
nutnbet seems to be fast increasing. Many,
who heird the proposition, when first broached,
with a wile of incredulity, or doubt, and some,
who protounced the whole plan to be an utterly
impractf ablesschemae —a mere vision—the fig
ment of; dreamy imagination—are understood
to have ilianged their views, as the discussion
has proceeded, till they have at last become con
verts, am are ready to co-operate zealously with
Mr. Jolmon to promote the plan as not merely
feasible, hit as an eminently w ise and efficient
measureliM'repairing the damage done to the
great inteests ot the people during the late years
of disastv and confusion—placing the entire
country ajain on the road of successful enter
prise, andrestoring it to the confidence of Eu
rope.
The ptblic press, too, in various directions is
coining oit in favor of this plan ; amt though we
believe thi “free trade” organs ami their contri
butors gertrally oppose and decry it, as must be
- always expected, in those quarters, in relation
r to every find of proposition for bringing the
- highest pavers of the people’s government into
. exercise fir the promotion «f the people’s inter
s ests, y'et i considerable number ot presses of
that cfassA'hich hold thalgoverntnents, especial
.■ ly our Anerican governments, were established
; bv the elective means, whether political or
physical, p advance the collective welfare, have
, already eitressed their earnest desire, and pro
: bably, thuefore, the desire ol at least a large
r portion otihe several communities with whicli
they are iamediately connected, to see the plan
> taken up, >t all events, and fully and fairly <iis
• cussed in :1 its parts and bearings.
To thi latter class we have no hesitation in
: conlessiig we belong. The plan is so compre
hensive wears sueh an aspect of general and
impartitl justice, embrace - so great an amount
of meals to do gvi 1, an.l aims at such high and
valnabh national as st ell as State objects, that
withijatpret-tiding a' present lobe ready to ex
press a p;’-,‘liv.’an i tree : opinion in its tarsi',
we are still exceedingly solicitous to see it
brought foiward in Congress, and thoroughly
debated,
Theotlur estraet, which follows, is from the
leiiuauler (i'a ) Examiner. The entire article,
from which it is taken, is written with force and
judgment. It predicts for ll|B policy in question
an unprecedented popularity throughout the
Uniop:
He must sq a dull observer who sees nut tlqs
change of opinion daily going on in the minds of
men in regard to Mr. Johnson’s plajj for reliev
ing the States. Wc meet daily with those that
were strongly opposed to this measure at first,
who confess themselves becoming more and
more favorably impressed wfrh it, as they give
the subject reflection. Nor is this to Ise wonder
ed at. Reflectihg men, have at heart the public
honor and tieir private welfare, with no alter
native to an irfiunous repudiation oftheirdebts,
but anendlss taxation scarcely less ruinous,
m ust necessarily come into the support of this
measure. Bmest men too, can see no goodrea-
Mn why theyshould not appropriate their own
maney to the payne nt oftheir honest debts—
and this is all that M r - Johnson s plan calls for.
It requires no infringement of persona' or vest
ed lights, no evasion or straining of apy one ;
filature or principle ofthe Constitution- It mere?
ly ask*; the General Government to return to the
States the remnant ofthe same property which
the States loaned to the General Government fur
a special purpose, halfaceni'in that pur
pose having been effected.
Effects of the Earthquake. - The earth
quake nt the 4th inM. was also felt violently in
Louisville, about which Birny Marshall tell*; a
laughable circumstance. A young gentleman
in a hotel there, who was proverbial for polite
ness and gallantry, and quite a favorite with the
ladies, was frightened out of his room by th?
shock, where he found others of his fellow board
