FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17.
Bankrupt Law- Ju-Jge Berrien’s Report.
In complying with our promise, made a few
days since, to lay the whole, or a part of this
able iie,. >rt of oar
fore our readers, we have availed ourself of the
labors of the Editors of the National Intelligen
cer, and adopted the very excellent analysis made
by diem, will be found in this morning’s paper.
The importance of the subject, as well as the
ability and interest of the report, should com
mand the calm and respectful consideration of
every class of readers; and we therefore com
mend it to their perusal.
Our Locgl'oco Senator,
True to the prominent characteristics of his
party love of the spoils, passed through this
city, we learn, a few days since, on his way
to Washington, to get his mileage. Huzza fur
the "bile Mr. Cuthbert!" But we rather guess
be will reflect about as much honor upon the
State when absent, as his successor, the Hon.
(?) Walteh T. Coi.qi itt, the author of the
"unvarnished tale," will, when in his place in
the Senate.
The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Courier says: The House evinces a
determination to curtail all unnecessary expen
ditures. They have now commenced a war up
on the Custom House officers. At one fell
swoop, to-day, they abolished one hundred and
sixty offices connected with the New York Cus
tom House, reducing the whole number of offi
cers to three hundred and forty. This bill was
introduced by Mr. Garret Davis, and it was
passed, without opposition to-day. The same
fate awaits other Custom Houses.
Being in a humor forretrenchment, the House
also took up and passed a bill, one section of
which abolishes the office held by Robert Tyler,
Esq., as Secretary to the President, to sign Land
Patents, and transfers the duty to the Commis
sioner of the General Land office.
John Jacob Astor has taken the balance of
die Massachusetts loan, about half a million of
dollars, five per cents, at 85 40-160. “There is
a decidedly better feelingin the community, and
much more disposition to invest.”
Epidemic in Vermont.—We leatn from the
Montpelier Vt. Watchman that a very danger
ous epidemic is prevailing in the Northern part
of that town, in Charlestown, Newark, Burke,
and various other sections of the State. In
some districts it is said that the number of those
who are well, is scarcely sufficient to.take care
es the sick' and bury the dead. The Sime dis
ease prevailed to a dreadful extent last season
at Burlington and in its vicinity, where many
•f the most valuable citizens fell victims to its.
violence. It is a disease until recently un
known in that section of country, and is thought
to be a species of erysipelas.
Jewish Synagogue.—A new Jewish Syna
gogue was consecrated in New York on Friday
jast. It is the sixth house of worship which the
Jews have in that city, and is intended princi
pally foremigrants from Get many.
Florida.
The St. Augustine Netrs of the 11 til insl. says:
The Senior Editor of this paper returned from
ffii expedition down the Southern coast of Flori
da, on Sunday last, after an absence of over five
weeks, during which period the gentlemen who
tQmposed our party (Messrs Humphreys,
WHarton, Zylstra, and Russell,) have greatly
improved in health, though they bad much hard
ship and fatigue to undergo. The country a
bouuds with fish, oysters, and game of every
description, to such an extent that it is beyond
description—with little cr no trouble attendant
upon procuring them. The climate in this sec
tion of Florida is in every respect equal to that
qf the Island of Cuba, and invalids from the
North would be fully convinced of the fact
should they be able to make a trial. The trop
ical plants are as green and fresh as though it
was the midst of summer; the wild flower in
still bloom, and the butterfly busy inhaling its
delicious odour. The scenery in traversing the
Halifax River, Musquito Lagoon, and Indian
River, is certainly grand and picturesque.
Another party of gentlemen from Georgia, ac
companied by their slaves, arrived in this city
vu Tuesday last. They intended proceeding
down the coast for the purpose of set'ling. The
prospects of East Florida being early settled tip
us brightening, as Emigrants/are almo.t daily
arriving.
The Marion Herald seeks to excite the preju
dice of the moral and religious portion of the
community against Mr. Clay, because he visits
the theatres and attended the race course in New
Orleans when Miss Foote run her celebrated
race—because he has, as has almost every pub
lie man, occasionally played brag—became, in
all his acts, be has not lived according to the
straightest sect of the Pharisees, of whom wo
suppose the Editor of the Herat I considers him
self a "bright and shining light.” ’ I’is true Mr.
Clay is not perfect—infallibility was never
claimed as one of bis attributes. He has com
mitted faults and acts not approvedol by the
Decalogue. Ifhehas played brag, he has nev
er played for a livelihood, but only for the ex
citement produced by the game. M any a young
man has been saved from the gamblet’s late by
his instrumentality. Thousands of dollars has
Mr. Clay refunded alter having won them in
play. And yet he i now held up by this hypo
critical Pharisee as a gambler by profession!
and one, who would, if elevated to the Presiden
cy, desecrate the seat once held by Washington!
The Herald uses a trenchant blade—which
wounds its own friends worse than Mr. Clay.
If Washington’s seat would lie desecrated bv
Mr. Clay’s occupying it, was it untarnished
when the Herald’s political demi-god filled it?
Was he pure and spotless? Were bis clothes
free from tha dust of the racecourse? or his
hands from the contact of cards!. Pshaw! such
objections to Mr. Clay, coming from a Loeofo
co, are almost enough to make one sick with
disgust. Foiglt! Out upon him! A second
Satan rebuking sin!— HuntsrilP Advocate.
Ma. Hackett. —The New Orleans papers are
particularly severe upon the representation of
RYhaid by this gentleman.
Discovery or Runaway Slaves, and their
return.—The schr Empire. Captain Powell,
which left here on the Sth inst. bound to New
York, returned to this place on Saturday last,
to land two slaves, which were found on board
his vessel. The Empire had proceeded to the
northward of Chingoteague, when Capt. Powell
discovered, for the first lime, that he had more
passengers on board than had placed theirnames
on the way bill, and on inquiry ascertained that
the unknown passengers were slaves, (mother
and child) belonging to a gentleman in this Bo
rough. Capt. P. immediately determined to re
turn to Norfolk, and upon his arrival proceeded
‘ to the Mayor’s office, and informed the Mayor
k of the circumstance ot his return The Mayor
| promptly despatched an officer on board to re
■ ceive the runaways, an.i a warrant fur the arrest
[ of the Steward, who it appears was cognizant to
I their secrecy on board.
k We learn that Capt Powell produced to the
Mayor a certificate from the passengers on
" hoard bi. vessel, averring that to soon as Capt.
P. made the discovery, he determined to return,
in which determination they concurred.
Since the above notice was made; we leant
that the steward states that he was induced to
aid them by the solicitation of the husband of
the woman. They were discovered in the gal
ley, where she states they had bean stowed two
davs previous to the sailing of the vessel

was killed in a teucjttnter b; a rifle shot by a
Mr. Henry Morris, in Henderson county,
(Tenn.) a few days since.
Cut Nails.—The Pennsylvanians, or, as
they call themselves in the interior, Pennantites,
are now making cut nails largely from their own
pig iron. A method has been contrived oi roll
ing the plates so that the grain of the metal runs
lengthwise of the nails, am! they can be clenched
like wrought nails.
Shipwreck.—The brig Mary Emily, Capt.
Dyer, bound to W ilmington, N. C., with a cat
go of Salt foundered oft Cape Fear, on Saturday
night last. Her captain and crew had arrived
at Wilmington.— Charleston Courier.
ExTßAonitiNAiiv Case.—We were informed
of a case of insanity in this county, a few days
ago, the eircuinstances connected with which
are so ex.raordinaty as to be well worth record
ing. It seems there has been in the Ipswich
Ahns House or House of Correction, for about
twenty years, an insane man who was sent there
from Salem, and has always gone by the name
of “Captain.” Os his real name and residence
nothing was ever known by the authorities, nor
has anything been discovered until within a few
months past. The man is perfectly harmless,
his malady tending rather to idiocy, ami he has
long been allowed logo about freely, sometimes
jojn >ifa rimtaMiiariHy•
ways ret Inning ill safety.
A few months ago the keeper presented a card
to him, and said, “Captain, you will give me
youraddyess?” The captain very readily took
the car l, and writing upon it, in an elegant
hand, a gentleman’s name, with the name of a
town in the State of New York, returned it. As
it was somewhat uncertain if this was really the
name, a few days afterwp.rd another card was
handed to him with the request that he would
give his father’s address. He immediately
wrote the same surname and town, witli anoth
er surname. It was then supposed that he might
have given his real address, and, to ascertain
tiie tact, a letter was forwarded to tlie place men
tioned, directed to the pet son whose name was
given as the father, with a req .test to the post
master, it such a person had ever resided there
and had removed, to forward the letter to the
present place of residence of the gentleman or
his family if it could be ascertained.
Nothing farther was heard until a few weeks
ago, when a letter was received from New York
on the subject. The letter was shown to the
“captain,” and as soon as his eyes fell on the su
perscription, his countenance changed, his tves
were suffused with tears of joy, and he cried out
in the most touching tone, "iny mot her! my moth
er I” It was in fact a letter from his mother—
the father having been dead a number of years.
She wro! that nothing had been heard oftfiis son
for 22 or 23 years, and he was supposed to be
long since deceased. The “Captain was ex
tremely effected on perm ing the letter. The
mother i- at present residing with another son in
the city o! ?4cw York. A iarthere.-rrespondenep
has taken place between the parries, and some
of the relatives are expected to come on shortly
and take the lost restored home. With what
tervorcan this mother exclaim, when she greets
the wanderer—“For this my son was dead, and
is alive again-, lie was 10-1 and is found.’—Sa
lem, (Must.) Register.
Awful Retribution.
A lew days since,considerable excitement was
produced by the disappearance ot a young girl,
aged about 16, the daughter of a Mr. Meicer,
oneof the most wealthy and respectable inhabi
tants of Southwark. A toting man of this city,
named Hutchinson Heberton, was arrested on
suspicion of being concerned in her abduction,
but was discharged in consequence oi the girl’s
return to her parents. It was ascertained, bow |
ever, that Heberton had seduced the young girl,
and that she had gone to a house ol ill-fame, in
the neighborhood of Pin. 1 and Twelftti streets,
where lie had been in the habit of meeting her.
Her absence as well an her return, we believe,
was voluntary. The anguish of the family at the
knowledge ot the dishonor that had fallen up
on the daughter oftheir house, no tongue can
tell nor pen describe. To wipe out the stain as far
it was possible so to do, a marriage was propos
ed to the seducer. This was declined on his
part, and thebrothsr of the seduced then clial
jeirgeij, Tibs q also .
furiatebi atlier; Sl'iiug almost to tnadiic'.-, deter
mined not be baulked in his revenge. He wat-li
ed the movements of Heberton, an.i having as
certained that he was to leave the city last even
ing in a carriage, byway of Camden, he con
cealed himsell on board the ferry boat armed
witli one of Coll's six-bat relic t pistols. Short
ly alter, the carriage was driven on board with
tiie blinds drawn up, and when within a few
yards ol the Jeti.ey shore, Mercer approached
the carriage and fired tour balls into it in quick
succession. One of them [toved fatal, taking
effect under tiie left shoulder blade, and another
entering th? body of Heberton. He was con
veyed to a tavern in Camden, where he expired
in a lew minutes. Mercer immediately gave
himself up to the authorities.
Thus has the atrocious crime of seduction
been visited with awful and summary retribu
tion at the hands of the outraged brother. We
have been acquainted with Heberton for some
years, and have always known him as a mild,
amiable and gentlemanly man —but the crime
which he committed w.c-, of too black : nd dam
ning a character tor us to express regret or
sympathy tor his untimely end. For hi s wid
owed mother we feel deeply, as well as for Ids
afflicted relatives, who are among the most te
spectabie of out citizens. 11 is fate is a striking
exampleof the evil efiects of idleness. Having
no occupation, and abundant means to supply
his wants, his whole lime appeared devoted to
intrigueand the gratification of sensual passions.
Had he been engaged witli the occupations of
business, his mind would have been tilled with
other thoughts and higher aims. Let his fate
be a warning to all idlers.-— Ph. /v’t.. <taz.
Settlement or the litti.e win between
Hayti aniiCuba.—Letters from Port an Prince
say that tiie Spaniards having tint taken two
Haytien vcsselsby way of reprisals, theqmin el
was settled thus. The Government of Cuba
demanded that the Haytien liigate, the Satisfac
tion, should fire a salute of2l guns in honor of
the Spanish flag, displayed on tiie vessel captur
ed by her, with the same flag flying at her main
mast heal. This was acceded to, on the condi
tion, which was accepted, that the Spanish
steamer sbie.ild return tiie salute with the Hay
tien flagon the main. The salutes were ac
cordingly exchanged at eight o’clock on the
morning of the Gtli, after which the steamer took
her departure. The vessels taken by the Span
iards, are to begiven up.- -Saiuiiiu ’i Republican.
Pretty Sentiment.—“ The memories of

house, all with their green and ha Bowed associ
ations, coir. ' upon the heart in the dark hour ol

JT- Tlic ' iisonian mentions, as a current
rumor, that •the Whigs will add a proviso io
some anpi.-, riatk>n t ill. p.king the pay
ment of anv salaries to ottieers appointed by the
President during the tecess of Congress. This
would prevent the President ftoni making any
appointments of his triemis to foreign missions,
collector ships, departments, Ac., without sub
mitting the nominations to the Senate, prior to
the lid-of March. The Senate of rouse stands
ready to reject the nominations if made.
Wondeiifvi. I! cape.—-The ’Cleveland 1
ald gives an account ot a dealer in notions who
called at the Willoughby Medical College and
ottered some hemlock gum tor sals to a party of
student -. They declined buying, but directing
the unsuspecting pedlar to a room in the third
story, but on entering the room the glaring eyes
ol our horror-stricken pedlar beheld nought but
dead men s bones. Here were also beings in
human shape, with shirt-sleeves up-turned, cut

sepulchral tones the terrified gum-seller was

SATURDAY' MORNING, FEBRUARY 18.
Mesmerism
Appears to be rapidly acquiring a strong hold
in Charleston, if the impressionsupon the edi
tors es the Courier be a correct index of others.
The experiments thus far seem to have been as
satisfactory as they are astonishing, and but for
the crowded stale of our columns, we should
make copious extracts from the Courier. We
trust, however, in a few daj's, as the influence
seems to be wending its way to the southwest,
to witness some of its etiecis ourselves, tor
which v. e confess our anxiety.
Tun Red River Freshr r.—The Picayune of
the 11th says:—A gentleman of this- city lias
kindly furnished us with the following extract
of a letter which gives further intelligence in re
lation to the recent terrible freshet on Redßiver.
Il is dated:
Fort Towson,(Ark.)Jan. 30,1843.
The fiver here is now 20 leet higher titan has
evirbeen known siene the country was settled.
The rise has backed the creek up to this place
(the foil,) and has taken away the small bridge
between here and Doaksville. Brummitt’s place
opposite tiie landing, is entirely gone, and so is
Jonesborougii, The river is now about 3 miles
Xsi.q&al the la::,'. ; .l >f it is ’ !r ro lie irft'fl'
slandTaud must, I think soon commence falling
although it is now rainiag very fast, and lias
been since yesterday.
Illinois.—A bill has been introduced into
the Legislature ol Illinois, which if passed will
provide that state with the means of completing
her canals, and render them a source of revenue.
By the proposed act, the whole administration
ot her canals and the property belonging thereto
i» to be entrusted to thtee trustees, one named
by the Governor, and the other two by the capi
talists who shall advance the million and a halt
now required by the State. These trustees are
to go on and complete the public works, and sell
off the canal lands, &c., and from the proceeds
fir-t reimburse the million and a half loan, and
divide the excess rateably among the other cred
itors of the State.
Translation or Bernal Diaz.—We learn
that our Minister to Alexico, Gen. Waddy
Thompson, is employing such moments of lei
sure as he can find and spare from rhe laborious
duties ot’his important mission, in translating
the celebrated “ History of the Conquest of
Alexico." from the original Spanish of Bernal
Diaz. It is well known to be a work of en
chaining interest, written with great purity of
style and beauty of diction; and from Gen.
1 hompson’s known literary abilities we may
look fur one of the most interesting works which
has yet appeared of the conquest of Mexico,
and the exciting scenes enacted by the early
Spaniards and their brave though unfortunate
opponen t. The work will probably be soon
published ill this country, and we shall hail its
appearance with pleasure.—Pm-.
Gross Outrage on the Savannah River.—
On Tuesday evening a shore boat, belonging to
one of the sailor Boarding Houses in this city,
and manned by some hall dozen desperadoes,
loardcd tiie British barque Covenanter, and
took therefrom twelve sailors—nine on a first
v isit, and three on a second. The master of the
barque iiad unfortunately no tire-arms, and was
therefore in no condition to make resistance.—
The desperadoes insulted the Captain, and fired
several pistols at the ship. This boat, or one in
company, then proceeded to the British barque
Springfield, Capt. Hoy, which vessel was ready
lor sea,and made an attempt to board her. They
were, however, fired into, and three of the party
wounded, one of them known as “the Mobile
Slasher,’ receiving a bail in his lurehead, and
another in his mouth, which knocked out three
of his teeth. Another by tiie name of Brady,
receiver! three buck shot in his body, and tiie
other, whose name we did not lean), was so
badly wounded that it is expected he will not re
cover. We are informed that he has been ta
ken tu the Hospital.
I'hoTrwww, ?>F rwo-f .iwlemen we.-w frivsn t:
who saw one of these piratical boats leave the
wharf—the scoundrels on board of her being
armed with cutlasses, guns, &e. It is said to
be their custom to go out every nigh’, seeking
to entrap as many sailors as they may. We
have before called public attention to their pira
tical enterprise-, hut we do not heat that the city
authorities have taken any measure to suppress
these daringoutrages and punish thefreebooters.
Our port will get a name equal to in
its worst days, if these things continue. We
unhesitatingly affirm that it is highly discredi
table to this'city, tiiat foreign vessels should
come here, and be compelled to defend their
l ights by force of arms. This is what they are
determined to do, however, and we hope' they
will make good use of them. The master of
the Covenanter, was in town yesterday, and
supplied himself with arms. Two or three of
the Captains also came up on the same errand.
If our laws cannot protect them, why then, we
say, in God’s name, let them defend themselves.

Cotton Culture in India.
NUMBER THREE.
7'o l.’ic K 'i'urs of the Tr.f.::
Tiie experiment that has given ti.-e to the
great variety of speculations anti opinions that
have been recently expressed at different times,
in tiie public prints, both in this country and in
England, is that some account of the conduct
and results of which [ intend to give you in this
number. I will coniine m yself strictly to a sim
ple narrative of facts, wiii 'll is the only solid
basis upon which a correct opinion can be form
ed on such a subject, allowing every impartial
reader to draw bis own conclusions. We ate
too apt generally' to indulge in wild theories,
and loosely to draw conclusions from general
principles and facts, on subjects, a lucid an !
intelligent comprehension of which depends <m
a familiar acquaintance with minute details,
and on no subject is this more the ease than the
present, compassing as it does the nearest in
terests of millions of people, and calling into
action even in this country, a capital of more
than seven hundred millions of dollars.
To give tin’s experiment a complete and sat
isfactory trial, the East India Government gran
ted several portions of land, in quantity about
three hundred begahs, (a begah being a small
fraction less titan an acre,) the necessary num
ber of laborers bullocks, (for horses were not
used for agricultural purposes,) and the requi
site implements lor cultivation. The location
of this land is in latitude North 211, near the
city of Baroach, w hich is situated on the north
ern ban’.; of the Nerbudda river, in the district
of Guzeiat. This district is the most genial
and productive, and emphatically the cotton
country ot the whole peninsula, and the only
region from which exportations of cotton have
ever been made in any considerable quantities.
In Guzet:.t, Beroda, Malwa, and other contigu
ous count: i , ate grown all those cottons known
under the r ~..mu.n name of Surat cotton. This
name is derived Irom tiie name of the port
whence in former times this cotton was export
ed. Under the auspices of the British rule,
Bombay has become the seat of commerce for
the whole Western part of India. In former
times, Surat was the great commercial empo
rium of Western India; and without being the
residence of royalty, was proudly called, from
her wealth al«ne, the “ Imperial City.” With
the loss of her com merce was dissipated the
charm of her grandeur—the spark that once
animated, being extinguished, lias left the im
mense body a useless incumbrance. Sural is
now scarcely known as a commercial port —the
brilliancy of her prosperity has rendered deeper,
the gloom of her adversity—she is now in nt ins,
■crumbling and prostrate, and her prince-like
merchants have become begging shop-keepers.
The character of this country is an extended,
unbroken plain, watered by the Taptee and
Nerbudda rivers. The latter river is broad, but
shallow, ar. 1 when swollen by the rains, resem
bles greatly the Mississippi. There are two
kinds of soil in Guzerat; the one a dark clayey
loam, in appearance similar to the alluvial de
posit of our own great river. The other is known
as the Garat soil, an t is lighter in appearance,
and morecalcareous. The former is lertlleand
productive, and is that soil on which is grown
with the greatest success the indigenous cotton ;
the latter i less productive, ami is not held in
so high esteem by the natives, and does not
produce the native cotton to advantage.—
The experiment- that have heretofore been
made, have been generally tried on the
black soil; the results in every instance have
shown that it is peculiarly inimical to all for
eign cotton-, and some men of science have pro
nounced it poisonous, but I apprehend, upon a
more practical examination, it would have been
discovered that it is poisonous only in its un
suitableness to the grow th and production ot
cotton, for it has not been found inimical to any
growth that is suited to the climate.
Some experiments have been tried on llteGo
ratsoil, but the test has not been so satisfactory
a-on the I laiTire reason why it has Tot
been tried ofter.er is its general barrenness and
infecundity.' It is <• ntended by some who are
u,interested in -ecuring the patronage
•f the Government to the prosecution of these
experiments, that this soil is favorable to the
production of exotics. The pioces- ol reason

ing by which this conclusion is arrived at is
similar to that by which many other important.
facts are discovered, and is a iair sample of the
[ logic of military gentlemen on the science ol
Agriculture, anil may not be out ot plate as it
will give some idea at least ot the ingenuity of
a cockney cotton planter. It is known that In
i dia is a tropical country, and that cotton is a
. tropical plant India is a cotton growing coun
try It is further known by repeated experi
‘ ments that exotic cottons cannot be produced on
the black soil—ergo, the light soil must be fa
vorable to the production of this article. But
the attention given the idle reports that multiply
on this subject, aflbrds but additional proof of
the great facility with which governments are
gulled in the prosecution of those works which
belong so peculiarly to the sphere of individual
enterprise. The black soil was selected on ac
count of its known fertility, and the great pre
ference given to it by the' natives, as that on
which should be tested the experiment that was
tried in the year 1841, under the superintendence
of the Americans who went om to India lor
that purpose. Before the coming of the mon
soon the necessary preparatory steps have been
taken so that when the planting season arrived
everything was ready for action. Some at
tempts had been-made to use the American
plough, but the results were partial and abor
tive. The monsoon usually sets in with great
violence, which is callei the “bursting oi the

and most oft heir ploughing and planting is done
during this .short period. The strict recurrence
and uniformity of the seasons of this country,
give the farmer no choice as to the season tor
planting, but he is compelled to take advantage
ot the tavors granted to him by Nature. It was
intended that this experiment should be tried en
enrirelv after the American mode of cultiva
tion, which, as will appear in the sequel, was
found utterly impracticable. The seed planted
were taken out from America for the purpose
they were good, and came up abundantly—they
were planted between the tenth of June and the
first of July. Knowing that the wet season,
which is always prejudicial to cotton, would be
protracted and violent, ridges were thrown up,
as is the practice in America, ou which the cot
ton was planted. This, it was thought, would
be one great superiority over the mode of culti-
X'ation practised by the natives —who plant their
cotton on the level earth and without ridges—
having no plough suited for this purpose. The
soil in which the cotton was planted being moist
and warm, it soon sprang into lite, looking heal
thy and luxuriant, and grew for some time with
great rapidity. But the rain continued to fall
unceasingly and in great abundance—the earth
became saturated with water, and soon the ex
tended plains of Guzerat assumed the appear
ance ot an outspread sea of water. The fields
of cotton that, a few days since, looked so beau
tiful and thriving, (began now to droop, and as
sumed a yellow, sickly appearance, and great
quantities died with the lust, during a period of
six weeks of the monsoon.
The rains are so continued and violent, that
not only are the labors ot' the farmer stopped,
but it is impossible to pass from one part of the
country to another, except on foot. This is
not an unusual state of things. Toone unac-'
qttainted with the peculiarities of the country
and climate, it would appear calamitous; but it
is looked for, and praj-ed for by the Hindoos, as
an annual blessing. For weeks after the rains
have partially ceased, and the standing waters
have evaporated and subsided, the earth that has
been ploughed is so unsound and mellow, that
no beast can pass over it. The period during
which the plant is undergoing this trial, is the
most critical, and it is at that age at which it
requires the most careful an.i fostering atten- '
tion.
From the state of things above mentioned, it '
will appear to any one acquainted with agricul- 1
lural pursuits, that anv attempt to cultivate the
plant, under such circumstances, would be at
tended with the most destructive results. For
tunately weeds and grass do not grow very a- '
bundantly during this period, as it: the case with
u> and therefore render:: that constant attention
which we have to give our crops, in a great
measure unnecessary. J 1
When the rains had subsided, tiie cotton re
v ived Horn its drooping condition, and assumed 1
the appearance of a healthful and vigorous re- 1
: uscitation. But this favorable change was
plant, than was the violence ol the rains. The 1
tznnination of the monsoon is no less sudden
than its bursting; The waters suddenlyretiring
leave upon the surface ofthe earth a thindepos- 1
it of m ud. which being exposed to a vertical sun '
is soon baked to a hard incrustation, and so in- 1
dnrate is tin's incrusted surface, that in many 1
instances the trunk ofthe plant in process of ex- 1
pan-lion was entirely cut oft’. It was thought ’
that this evil would be Remedied by a timely ap- i
plication of the plough and hoe. But here an '
iinexpi cteddilficultyaro.se. Although the stir- <
foci, ol the earth was dry; beneath it was saturat- ‘
cd with water, and the nature ol the soil being ‘
purely clayey, and unrelieved by a grain ofsand '
when wet, assumes the adhesive and impervious :
consisteney of putty: so that it was found en- t
tire'y impracticable to use either the plough or
hoe. The impracticability of adopting the A- <
merican modeof cultivation, will more satisfac- t
torily appear when it is observed that even with ,
the smalt implement used by the natives, (asde- ,
scribed in No. 2,) for cutting out the grass and |
weeds, it is necessary, after each application of t
it to the earth, to cleanse it by passing it through i
the forefinger and thumb.
So inimical and unwholesome is. the condi- ,
tion ofthe soil to the American cotton, that the ]
top root would not penetrate it, but curled up ,
and sought nourishment about the surface. It ,
may be observed here, that the indigenous co’.- .
ton is not subject to these baleful vicissitudes;' .
its roots penetrate the earth, and although it does ■
not grow during the violence of the rains, it re- ,
mains comparatively in a wholesome condition.
Under these circumstances, the idea of using :
tiie American impiiments es agriculture was i
abandoned, but full advantage was taken of the
native mode ot cultivation. In spite of every |
effort to keep the cotton in a growing and thriv- ,
ing condition, it manifested daily symptoms of .
decline, and soon ran into a premature inaturi- (
ty, or, in other words, was scorched and killed
by the intensity of the heat; and in six weeks .
from the time the rains had ceased, the stock .
liriit ceased to grow, and the leaves were burned (
to a crisp. So complete and entire was tiie fail- ,
ure, that with the exception of the cotton that j
grew on a few elevated spots, irom which hedg- ,
es had been cleared, no forms matured on any (
of the stalks. All the cotton that did open was
carefully gathered, and tiie aggiegate amount .
Irom the three hundred begahs, did not exceed
one hundred pounds of seed cotton. The cot
ton that did open was forced into maturity—its 1
quality was therefore greatly interior to that of
trie same article raised in tiiis country ; it was 1
however superior io the indigenous plant.
This is abi ief statement ofthe taels that led to '
the failure of this experiment. I will make
some additional statements on this subject, with
which I will open the next number. I projiose,
in the numbers that follow, to notice more in de
tail the obstacles that oppose the improvement
of the agricultural interest of India, and particu
larly the introduction of exotic cottons. AV.

The Abdui tion urom'New York. —We co
pied a few days since, from a New York paper,
an account of the abduction from that city of
Mrs. Miller by her husband, Mr. Charles' F.
Miller. We learn from the Norfolk Herald,
’hat the parties arrived in that borough oti
Thursday morning week, accompanied bv a
gentleman, (a friend of the lady.) On Tuesday
last, the father of Air. C. F. Aliller airived in
the steamboat from Baltimore. On consulta
tion, it was decided between them that lhe hus
band and wife should go to the West Indies in
the brig Trio, then about to sail tor Guadaloupe,
and that the wife had consented to go, anil had
already gone on board the vessel tor that pur
pose. The Herald then proceeds to say:—
“One ot the gentlemen who had heretofore
bell tended her, accidentally became possessed of
information which left no doubt on his mind that
the object in getting hei off to the West Indies
w.v a sinister one, and involved dark surmises
and suspicion-; and he resolved that gi, >!o
should not. Accordingly he had an intet view
with the la.ty on board the brig, and caused her
to change her intention of going to the West
Indies; and the subject was talked over, and the
consequence anil probable results in case ot the
leath of the lady, discussed without reserve on
’heir part—and not without effect: sot about ten
o'clock Mr. M., senior, went on board the brig
himself, and returned with the lady—and on

Bill was important in its details, and some
distant day should be named for its considera

Mr. Buchanan presented a inemorial from
to Amos Kendall.
MH. MCDUFFIE’S RESOLUTIONS.
Mr, McDuffie moved for the consideration of
his Resolutions, according to the Special order.
The Resolutions he said lie had presented sole
ly upon a conviction in his mind as to their im
portance. He had consulted with no one. It
was the opinion of many that these Resolutions
would have come better from another quarter.
It was the opinion ot some that the majority
were solely responsible for all the evils in exist
enccduring the Administration. There wasan
opinion that such a state of things would be con
ducive) to the benefit ofthe party not in poxver.
This was not his political morality. He con
sidered both parties in some sort responsible tor
the evils in existence.
Mr. MeDume said lie was not disposed to in
dulge in mutual eliminations and recrimina
tions. The Administration in power after the
removal of the deposities were unquestionably
responsible tor what ihen happened. Such was
the universal infatuation and delirium ot the
times. State Banks sprung up, and specula
tion prevailed every where. A subsequent Ad
ministration retraced their steps and abandoned
their error anil acknowledged it, too, in a mau
ly manner. This was the responsibility of that
party. And what course was adopted by the
other parly when the Independent Treasury
was proposed. When the one party abandoned
the Stale Banks, the other party took them up.
Thus both parties were in tault, and both pat
ties were bound to apply the remedy.
In the opinion of some of the people a restor
ation of the currency was the only remedy. In
his opinion this was a mere surface measure.
It did not touch the disease. In the course of
three months the currency in the expansion
increased Irom s9l to $145,000,000. This was
thecause ol the evil. Since the expansion the
currency had been and must be further reduced.
It had not yet been reduced to the extent neces
sary; and when the currency had been reduced,
what were we about to do? Restore the curren
cy. Nature had remedied the evils complained
us, and would continue the cute. We were
now to abandon lhe restoratives of nature and '
resort to the miserable quackery and contrivan
ces of man to remedy the evils.
Mr. McD. said that some of the most intel
lectual men ofthe country, and in some sec
tions almost all classes of people, were crying
for that panacea which had produced the evil.
A restoration of the currency was the very last
thing which lhe patient could endure. You
could not reform and expand the currency at
the same time. The contraction was the only
reform; nothing could revive the country or re
store relief in the manner of benefits conferred
by the Government. We must look to some
thing more substantial. Gentlemen said they
wished not so much to increase expansion as to
restore confidence. Confidence in what, he
would ask. In Banks? In false hopes that
must be disappointed.
Mr. McD. hoped that that sort of confidence
would neve; be iestored. It was like the con
fidence oi the mother of men in rhe serpent,
‘Which brought death into the world,
And all our woes.”
There could be no confidence in Banks and
Exchequers. If he was asked for a remedy, be
had none to give: but this he could say that it
was but to leave nature alone a while longer.
A Bank would do no good. You might in
crease the circulation of lhe countiy, but you
would add nothing to its wealth.
Mr. McDuffie acknowledged that he had sup
ported a Bank of the U. States as long as it
existed, and he had always believed that it con
tributed to the soundness ofthe currency. Sub
sequent events, however, had induced some
change of opinion. His opinion, however, al
ways was that specie should be the basis of our
currency. Bank’s should be left to themselves.
No man, however, ought to say now what was
the precise remedy required. He thought that
we ought to leave things as they were lor one or
two years mure. We could see in the mean
time what nature would do.
The Tariff was next considered, and Sir Ro
bert Peel was quoted at once as authority tor the
Tariff here. It was said that at the very mu
ment Sir Robert was taking measures forthe
introduction of American Grain into England,
’ve were pacing tariffs almost of a prohibitive
•haracter. If the receipts into lhe Treasury’ for
lhe month oi January afforded any estimate of
■he receipts of lhe year, the whole income woui I
be but thiee millions of dollar.?.
Mr. McDuffie passed offinlo a high eulogi
;nn upon American Commerce, and a corres
ponding reflection upon American Manutac
ures. Commerce Lad sustained us from the
foundation of the Government, and Commerce
ie c msidered waspart and parcel of domestic
.ndustiy. Production was in the samepropor
ion by the Exchange made for Commerce. We
•ould support commerce and manufactures at
he same time. What claim bad manufactures
o the special protection or favor of the Govern
ment. Had this domestic industry ever given
me cent tor the support of the country, nv laxa
iun <»rotherwre? No. It was a combination
«f great ingratitude and miuistiuus injustice.
\nd yet to sustain this we were breaking down
o ii commerce, the life and spirit us our Gov
ernment. If the People would abandon prutec
i . nthey would be supplied at one third less
han by domestic manufactures. We were de-
straying our best friend, Commerce, in order to
build uj> our w orst enemy, Protection.
All the pirates of the ocean, said Mr. Mc-
Duffie, all lhe elements in commotion, all the
storms of nature, never produced, never could
produce half the evil which this Government
was designedly or intentionally producing by
its laws. It was interfering with the rights of
man in labor, and in property, and there was no
power on the face of the earth to take a man’s
own from him; and yet it was done by the Tariff'
policy.
He knew of nothing so monstrous as this, and
he won iered that the high spirit of the Soutli
had submitted so longto this monstrous oppres
sion. The manufactures of England when
brought in exchange for Cotton, were as much
the property of the exporter of Cotton as was
the Cotton he exported.
Mr. McD. though that the Compromise Act
strictly carried out, and the payment of an av
erage duty of 20 per cent would yield five mil
, lions more than the imposition of duties in an-'
other form.
Said Mr. McD. we were under an erroneous
and despotic Government, and the enlightened
people would not endure for a longer period the
oppressions of lhe Government.
Mr. McDuffie spoke for about two hours, and
in bitter opposition to every thing like protec
tion. Having closed, and the hour being late,
Mr. Evans moved that the Resolutions be pass
ed I v until to-morrow.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTA'iTvES.
GENERAL JACKSON’S FINE.
Mr. Moore called upon the Whig party to as
sist him in inducing the House to go into Com
mittee of the Whole on the subject ol General
Jackson’s Fine. The subject however was not
taken up.
The bill from the Senate in relation to private
expresses, was referred to the Committee on the
Post Office and Post Roads.
INDEMNITY FOR SLAVES.
The bill lor the payment of s79t>s 23 to the
persons who are entitled to it for slaves lost on
board the Comet and Encomium, was received
from the Senate, and the amendments concur
red in.
Mr. Giddings moved a reconsideration of the
vote, and thereupon predicate 1 some remarks
on the subject of a rank abolition aspect—insist
ing that Congress, in passing this law, was aid
ing and abetting the traffic in slaves, etc.
Mr. Cushing replied, stating all the circum
stances attending the loss of slaves on board
these vessels, and insisting upon the justice ot
the claims—the admission having been made
by the British Abolition Government, with an
abolition Min istry, that the individuals referred
to were slaves, not merely by the laws jf the
United States, but by the laws oi New Provi
dence He placed the subject in a clear light,
and spoke of the importance of protecting the
interests of all parts of the Union, without re
gird to sectional differences.
Mr. Arnold moved to lay the motion to recon
sider on the table, which was decided in the af
firmative—yeas 110, r.ays 38.
BREACH or PRINILEGE.
Mr. Giddings arose and remarked that Mr.
Dawson of Louisiana had insulted him as he
was passing through the aisle; and he asked the
House, not to protect him, but its own dignity.
The Speaker said that he had not observed the
proceedings.
Mr. Wise briefly remarked that the gentleman
from Louisiana was one of the most courteous
men in the House, and perhaps it was in reply'
to lhe question of Mr. Giddings whether he
meant to insult him, that he (Mr. Dawson) in
differently said that he did.
A voice, “O! let it drop.”
Mr. Mallory’ said that he witnessed the pro
ceeding. The gentleman from LouisMna was
passing through the a isle in which the gentleman
from Ohio was standing; and he merely put his
hand on his shoulder in the gentlest possible
manner, as if o ask him to move to let him pass.
And Mr. Dawson only' spoke to Mr. Giddings
in reply to questions which were asked him.
Mr. Adams understood that it wasnot a threat
to cut his throat from ear to ear. [Cries'T'order”
The Speaker here interfered, and cut short
the debate which wes likely to arise—remarking
that there was no motion before the House.
RECIPROCITY.
majority move to postpone, until Wednesday
next, the resolution relating to treaties of com
mercial reciprocity. The motion was agreed
to.
REMOVAL or JONATHAN ROBERTS.
The resolution submitted more thana month
ago by Mr. Toland call ing on the Secretary ot the
T reasury for information in regard to the remov
al of Jonathan Roberts, late Collector of lhe
Port of Philadelphia, was taken up and adopter!.
A resolution was also passed calling for the
names ot the persons who petitioned for the re
moval of Calvin Blyth, to give place to Jonathan
Roberts.
ARMY BILL.
The Army bill, with the Senate amendments,
was taken up, and the amendment appropriat
ing $50,000 lor the removal of obstructions in
the navigation ol lhe Western Rivers, gave rise
to an animated discussion.
Mr. Fillmore hoped the House would not
concur in the amendment, not because he was
not favorable to the object, but he xvould not
yield his consent to strike out some appropria
tions of equal consequence and make an invidi
ous selection of ot hers.
Mr. Triplett denied that any had been strick
en out oflike magnitude with this, and made a
statistical statement of the amount of human
life and property xvhichannually passed through
the Ohio and Mississippi.
Mr. Reynolds made some remarks.
Mr. Hunt, of New York, spoke with much
earnestness against the amendment. Lake har
bors were of as much consequence as Western
Rivers, and this sectional legislation was oppo
sed to every principle of justice.
Mr. Proffit next took the floor, amidst cries of
question! rise! rise !
Mr. P. said that gentleman who desired to
rise could do so, and leave the House, but he
should not, and he went on. Alter be had clo
sed,
Mr. Weller obtained the floor: but, the hour
being late, on his motion the committee rose.
Mr. Hutu, on leave given, laid on the table a
proposition, [purport not heard;] which xvas or- ,
dered to be printed.
STATE OF THE TREASURY.
On the suggestion of Mr. Wise, the Speaker
laid before tire House the following message
from the President ofthe United States:
Washington, Feb. 13, 1843.
7T the House of Representatives :
I herewith transmit to the House of Repre
sentatives a report made to me on the Dili in
stant by the Secretary of the Treasury, on the
subject ofthe present and prospective condition
of t tie finances.
Yuli will perceive from ittiiat even if lhe re
ceipts Irom the various sources of revenue for
the current year shall prove not to have been
overrated, and the expenditures be restrained
within the estimates, lhe Treasury will be ex
hausted before the close of the year: and that
this will be the case, although authority should
be given 1.1 tire proper Department to re-issue
Treasury notes. But the state of facts existing
at the present moment cannot tail to awaken a
doubt whether the amount of the revenue for
lhe respective quarters ofthe year will come up
to the estimates, nor is it entirely' certain that
the expenditures which trill be authorized by’
Congress may not exceed the aggregate sum
which has hitherto been assumed as the basis of
the Treasury calculations.
Os all the duties of the Government, none is
more sacred and imperative than that of mak
ing adequate and ample provision for fulfilling
with punctuality its pecuniary engagements aud
maintaining the public credit inviolate. Any
failure in this respect, not produced by unforseen
causes, could only be regarded bv our common
constituents a serious neglect ot the public in
terests. I feel it, therefore, to be an indispensa
ble obligation, while so much ofthe session yet
remains unexpired as to enable Congress to
give to the subject the consideration which its
great importance demands, most earnestly to
call its attention to the propriety of making fur
ther provision for the public service of the year.
The proper objects of taxation are peculiarly
within the discretion of the Legislature, while
it is the duty ofthe Executive to keep Congress
duly advised ofthe state ofthe Treasury, and to
admonish it of any danger which there may be
ground to apprehend of a failure in the means of
meeting the expenditures authorized by' law.
I ought not therefore to dissemble ray fears
that there will be a serious falling off in the esti
mated proceeds both of the customs and the pub
lic lantis. I regard the evil of aisappointment
in these respects as altogether too great to be
risked, if by any possibility it may be entirely
obviated.
While I am far from objecting, under pres
ent circumstances, to the recommendation ot
the Secretary, that authority be granted him to
reissue Treasury notes as they shall be redeem
ed. and to other suggestions which he has made
on this subject, yet it appears to me to lie wor
thy of consideration whether more permanent and
certain supplies ought not to be provided. The
issue of one note in redemption ot another is
not the payment of a debt, xvhich must be made
•In the end by some form of public taxation.
I cannot torbear to add, that, in a country so
tull of resources, of such abundant rner.ns, I
they be but judiciously called out: the revenues
of the Government, its credit, and its ability to
■ fulfil all its obligations, ought not tu be made
■ dependent on temporary expedients, or on cal-
culations ot an uncer.ainei ar.icttr.--The j.ub
.ic faith in this, as in allthirg; else, ought tu be
placed beyond question and bjvond contingen
cy.
The necessity of further and full provision lor
supplying the wants of the Tteasurv will be the
more utgent, if Congress, at this present session,
should adopt no plan for facilitating the finan
cial operations of the Government, and improv
ing the currency of the country. By the aid of
a wise and efficient measure of that k ind, not
only would the country be invigorated, but im
portant additions to the amount of revenue ari
sing from importations might also be confident
ly expected. Not only does the present condi
tion of things in relation to the currency and
commercial exchanges produce severe and dis
tressing embarrassments in the business and
pursuits of individuals, but its obvious tenden
cy is to create also a necessity for the imposition
of new burdens of taxation, in order to secure
the Government and the country against dis
credit, from the failute of means to fulfil the
public engagements. JOHN TYLER.
Treasury Department, Feb. 9, 1843.
Sir—Pursuant to your direction, I have the
honor to submit my view of the prospective
condition of this Department for ’.lie current
year :
The balance in the Treasury on
the Ist of January last, appears
as well as can be ascertained at
this time to have been $2,840,041 72
Customs $13,000,000 00
Lands .2,500,000 00
Miscellaneous sour-
ces 100,000 00
Loan and Treasury
notes 4,883,358 36
Aggregate of means 23,323,400 08
The estimate of expenditure dur-
ing the year is as follows:
Civil and miscella
neous 4,445,122 00
Military services, &c. 9,286,428 00
Naval service 7,881,223 00
Interest on loan and
Treasury notes.... 1,320,000 00
22,932,773 00
Estimated balance Ist Jan., 1841.. .$390,627 08
It will be seen that this estimate makes no
provision for the amounts which may be requir
ed to meet the appropriations tor private bills, or
ojher objects beyond the official estimates, nor
for the redemption of Treasury’ notes, of which
there are $11,028,977 69 outstanding and re
deemable during the year 1843. Ot these, lhe
whole except $2,402,390 56 carry interest af
ter maturity', and will not probably’ be present
ed for redemption. But the sum of $2,402,390
56, on which the interest ceases after the year
from the date of issue will require to be provid
ed for, and will not only absorb the balance ol
$390,627 98, but will need a further supply ol
upwards ot' two millions to maintain the public
credit. I have proposed to the Finance Com
mittee of Congress to place these notes on the
same footing in regard to interest as the other
issues, and to authorize the Department to re
issue such Treasury notes as may' be redeemed
previous to July, 1844. Should this proposi
tion be adopted by Congress, the estimated bal
ance ot $390,637 08 will remain unaffected, ex
cept by such appropriations as may be made
beyond the estimates.
Believing it necessary that some further pro
vision shquld be made by Congress for the pur
pose ot ensuring an amount ot receipts that
will enable the Treasury to meet punctually all
demands that are likely to be made upon it, 1
have this day addressed a communication to the
chairman ofthe Committee ol Waysand Means
recommending duties upon tea and cofi’ee, to
gether with several other articles which appear
ed to be proper subjects ot taxation. However
desirable it may' be to avoid this resort, it was
thought to be imperatively called for by the
condition of the finances and the state ot the
public credit.
I have the honor to be, with great respect,
y’our obedient servant, W. FORWARD,

BANKRUPT I.AW.
Mr.Berrien gave notice that on Mon day next
he would move to take up the bill to amend or
repeal the Bankrupt Law.
the special ordep. resolutions.
Mr. Evans at I o’clock rose to reply to the re
marks ofthe Senatorfroin South Carolina, (Mr.
McDuffie) made yesterday.
In a manner peculiarly his own, teise, senten
tious and practical, Mr. Evans jumped at once
into the middle of his subject. He Ibegan with
the Tariff law of the last session which has
been personified as a very Pandora’s box of ills.
He showed first that the tariff had not time io
work the evils complained of. He -showed too,
that the prices of foreign goodshad "not increas
ed under the tariff’, and there haff I een no dimi
nution of prosperity at home in cc insequence of
the passage of that act.
The argument of the Senator Xr«>m S. Caro
lina as to the causes of the depression of foreign
commerce, was next examined with great abili
ty. In the first place the prosperity of foreign
commerce was made to depend up >n domestic
prosperity. When other departmen. ts prospered
foreign commerce prospered. It wa s not detri
mentally affected by the success of domestic
production and manufactures. The de; ression
of foreign commerce was admitted, but the dis
ordered state of the currency was ts .e cause, ft
was the want of a sound and unifo rm currency
which affected both domestic and. foreign com
merce. The contraction of the cut rency as pro
posed by’ lhe Senatorfrom 8. C. dU I not appreci
ate the currency.
Mr. E. said, in continuation, th at commerce
could in no way prosper unless, business was
prosperous at home, and business at home was
to be improved by a sound and aniform curren
cy. At this time we had more, ’gold and silver
in some of the Banks than notes in circulation.
Money could be had for five pt :r -cent, where the
legal rate of interest, in New York, for exam
ple, was seven per cent. The currency was be
yond the business, and it was lhe state of the
currency which had made it so.
Manufactures did do son lushing for the cur
rency of the country, and tl tey paid much into
the Treasury, whenever the y increased the con
sumption of the country, when they enabled
people to purchase more fi ,v<ly, whenever they
added to the comforts ol the people and the pros
perity of the countiy. Th ; idea that lhe planter
ot Cotton paid all the dut les was preposterous.
He paid only for what he eonsumet 1 .. Jf he sent
his cotton to Europe and exchanged it for Brit
ish manufactured goods, and brought bus goods
home and paid duties upc n them, lie did .no more
than the man from the I North who sent a thou
sand dollarsor more, botight cot)on with If r sent
it to Europe, brought I <ome goods with it, and
paid duties upon them. If he sent Irom hi s re
sidence money to Eure pe and bought goods with
it, he paid duties upon tham as much as the
cotton grower.
Mr. Evan’s remarks upox i the Tariff, its ope
rations and. details, its e'.feets and the conse
quences of an opposite jxflicy were very states
manlike and able. The s peech here commanxl
ed the attention of all, ar .d was clear as light.—
The Senator in discussing the ways and means
made somfe brief rema'cks in relerence to the
condition ofthe Treasury. He expressed his
belief that the revets)jes of the year would a
mount to $13,000,000 as estimated by the Secre
tary of the Treasury.. The receipts at the New
York Custom Howie for January were SSGO,-
000, and at that rate, the receipts would be $12,-
000,000. Besides the expenditures of the year
were fast diminish ing.
He did not be) ieve expenditure ’ would
exceed $18,0(X),0f>0 for this year, or $21.',000,000
forthe 18 month irom January', 1843. to Julv,
1841.
The effects as the tariff had restorerilhe crectit
of the Genera) Government in some degree, it
was al-o urg> ri, in answer t<: the oppasiti m ot
Air. McDup 1

Mr. Dayton and Mr. Rives mlrmiucetf two
new sets of Resolutions referring to Stale Debts
the duty’ ofthe States to pay them, and the Co
nstitutional objection to the assumption of the
State Debts by the General Government A de
bate of an hour took place upon these resolutions
which was participated in by Messrs. Buchanan,
Allen, Rives, Archer, Merrick, McDuffie, Cal
houn, Dayton and others. No vote was taken
before the adjournment.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Barnard gave notice that on Thursday he
would ask the House to go into a Coiimiitwe ol
the Whole on the State of the Union, with a
view of taking up the Exchequer bill of Mr.
Cushing. He should, in tiiat case, move bis
substitute therefor; and of this he wished gen
tlemen to take notice, and be pie pared for the
proposition.
JESSE HOYT.
Mr. Barnard from the Committee on the Judi
ciary, to which the memorial ol Jesse Hoyt had
been referred, said he had been instructed to
move that it be printed.
The motion to print was rejected.
MISSISSIPPI BONDS.
Mr. Gwin rose to a personal explanation, in
relation to remarks of Mr. Granger respecting
the Mississippi Bonds. He stated distinctly
that the money for theirsale was not received by
the State, but by the Union Bank, without the
sanction of law. ,
Mr. Grange) iepiieivlh<u
ceived for the bonds was useaas tnC rote Wpre
tai of the Union Bank; and he read a letter to
show the other side ot lhe picture, in contrast
with that presented by Mr. Gwin.
These explanations were cut short by
Mr. Arnold, who called up his bill to reduce
the pa v of members of Congress. He moved
that the debate cease at three o’clock, and the
motion was agreed to—yeas 92, nays 78.
The House then resolved itself into a Com
mittee ot the Whole on the state of the Union,
and proceeded to theconsiiieration ofthe bill.
The bill having been read, several substitutes
were offered. One by Mr. Gwin, to reduce the
pay’ ofthe civil officers ofthe Government twen
ty per cent., and providing that, for the remain
der ot a long session beyond five months, the per
diem shall be four dollars per day’.
Mr. Hunt proposed an amendment to the bill,
fixing the annual salary- of members at SISOO
per annum, and tour dollars for every twenty
miles travel.
Mr. Williams of Conn, submitted a bill fix
ing the compensation at $6 per day, and $6 for
every twenty miles travel.
All those were read for information; ami, af
ter a great deal of talk and confusion, the exact
result ol which a spectator could not well deter
mine, the Committee rose and the Speaker re
sumed the chair. A
Mr. Holmes submitted an amendment to al
low members their actua' expenses of travel
ling, and eight dollars a day for the time so oc
cupied.
Mr. Cushing opposed the amendment.
The question was taken, and it was decided
in the affirmative—yeas 98, nays 64.
An amendment was adopted that the mileage
es any' member shall not be more than S3OO for
a session of Congress,
Mr. Wise moved to strike out $6 wherever it
occurred, tor the pay of members, and insert ;"’I.
The vote stood—ayes 56, noes 62.
The committee then rose, and the House ad
journed.
Washington, February 15.
UNITED STATES SENATE.
Aftersome miscellaneous business of no pub
lic interest, Mr. Miller of N. J., called for the
special orders, which were the various Resolu
tions submitted to the Senate yesterday, and by
Mr. McDuffie upon a previous occasion.
Mr. Dayton commenced by alluding to the
Resolutions of Mr. McDuffie and the debate
growing out of them. He said that Senators
upon the other side of the Chamber ought to re
member that they’ were responsible for this de
bate, and for any consumption of time which
resulted from it. He had hoped that when the
Senatorfrom South Carolina had introduced se
veral Resolutions, leading to no conclusions,
that some practical proposition would have fol
lowed the consideration of lhe Resolutions, but
none came. The Senator’s remedies were to
do nothing with the currency mid to rely upon
Free trade lof a Revenue.
With some brief remarks Mr Dayton pro
ceeded to elucidate and defend lhe following Re
solution proposed by him as an amendment:
Resolved, That the distrust and obloquy cast
upon thi Federal Government, by reason of the
failure of certain States to make prompt pay
ment of their debts, is an unjust and unfounded
imputation upon its credit and good faith. That
while this Government deplores the misguided
policy' ot those States which have embarrassed
themselves, it disclaims all liability, legally or
morally, for such delinquency. W hile, in vin
dication of its own unblemished faith and hon
or, it appeals with confidence to its past history.
His remarks upon these topics were vety
practical and able, particularly when he answer
ed the calumnies of Englishmen upon our Insti
tutions and credit. Among the acts of lhe Ad
ministration of Charles the Second, ofthe Long
Parliament, and of the Parliament of 1813, he
found precedents of National dishonor and re
pudiation.
Having closed, Mr. Merrick, of Md. in order
to save the time of the Senate and to prevent the
discussion ol mere abstractions, moved to lay'
the Resolutions upon the table. The vote was
as follows: —Yeas 24, Nays 23.
The subject was thus disposed of by a bare
majority,
The Senate then went into Executive session,
and in an hoUrafteiward adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The House resolved itself into Committee of
the Whole, for the purpose of taking up the bill
in relation to the pay and mileage of members.
The question was]taken on the following a
mendment offered by Mr. Hastings, and it was
rejected, viz:
Strike out all the section, and insert a substi
tute which he had prepared, and which provided
that, from the commencement of the present
session ot Congress, and henceforth, each pas
senger should receive $6 per diem, and $4 for
every twenty miles travelling, to be the usual
route; and that, on aking the oath at the com
mencement of the session, they should be sworn
to restrain the franking privilege to letters on
such member’s own business, or the extension
of liberty the circulation of documents, &c.; and
providing further, that the soldiers of the army
and the sailors of the navy shall have $1 a
month added to their present pay.
Two other amendments, viz: to estimate the
mileage by the shortest mail route, and allowing
$5 mileage, were also rejected.
Mr. MeKennan submitted an amendment to
reduce the eight dollars per diein after the ses
sion shall extend beyond a certain time. This
was rejected.
Mr. MeKennan submitted an amendment,
which was adapted, to the following effect, that
in lieu ofthe daily pay, and mileage, members
shall receive eiulit dollars a day for the time
they actually attend in their respective Houses,
and four dollars a day for every twenty miles
travel, if a session shall extend beyond’five
months; if longer, and not exceeding 2 months,
six dollars a day for the additional time, and it
protracted longer than seven months, four dol
ars a day for the remainder of the session.
Mr. Clarke, of N. Y., submitted a proviso,
which was adopted, that a member shall receive
mileage for the distance actually travelled.
[This will cutoffcohstructive journeys, such
for instance as Mr. Benton and others do not
travel after the close of the session and the im
mediate convocation of an Executive session.]
The remainder of the bill proposes a reduc
tion in the pay and emoluments of certain offi
cers in the' Federal Government, from twelve
to twenty per cent according to the difference
tiie compensation received. The amendments
offered were numerous, most of v. hich were re
jected; and among them one oftLicd by Mr.
Mars Antony Cooper, to reduce the at my and
navy —the latter to six vessels of war.
Mr. Gwin proposed a substitute for the bill—
to reduce the salaries of all officers ofthe Gov
ernment twenty per cent; and when the session
of Congress shall be protracted beyond five
months, the per diem pay of the members shall
be four dollars.
The question was then taken on the amend
ment of .Mr. Gwin, and it was rejected.
After some further proceedings, the Commit
tee rose and reported the bill to the House.
Mr. Cushing moved to lay the bill and amt nd
ments on the table ; and the question was d< ci
ded in the negative—yeas 42, nays 167.
Mr. Fillmore moved to strike out $4, and in
sert $6 fo r every twenty miles ol travel; and on
the veas and nays being taken, the question was
decided in the negative—yeas 59, nays 145.
The bill was then read as amended, and the
amendments having been concurred in by the
House, it was read a third time and passed—
veas 166, nays 48.
' After which the House adjourned.

Jemmy Hoskins a gentleman wearing a ted
cap, a remarkably greasy flannel jacket, ami im
mensely thick ovetnau I stockings, appeared to
sustain a claim fur XI J Rs. 6d, against Thoiu*.
Tibbs, a wholesale dealer in heel and pork aau
sages, black puddings, saveloys andvoungGer
mans. It is impossible t* say which was the
dirtiest, the plnintifi or defendant; the whvle at
the auditory very readily and politely made wag
for the savory venders.
Commissioner —What's this claim for?
Jemmy Hoskins — For luakin o'sassingetn
Sir.
Defendant—You mean for spilein'on’em, Jem
my.
Jemmy Hoskins (knowingly)—l,ll spile you
afore you’re done. (Laughter.
Commissioner—Do you mean that this is for
wages’.
jemmy rtwrhlw— Yes, sttylW TSne Week ih
vich I made a matter o’three ton o’sassingeij.
and yonug Gat min. [Laughter.]
Commissionei—Thtee tons of sausages and
young German? Why, what do you mean ?
Explain yourself. How do you make them?
Jemmy Hoskins—Dues your honor mean what
on? what did we make’em on?—cos if I wan to
tell that, why, perhaps [Laughter.]
Commissioner— Sir, you are bound tu answer
any question I ask. From what did you manu
facture so many sausages and young Germans,
as yon call them? Ofbeei?
“Beef," said Jemmy Hoskins, reflectively,
“beef! yes—why, there sartinly were some beat
that week; and let me sec, we had two green ’utus
and no less nortbree luckies!"
Commissioner—And pray sir, what is a green
’un!
Jemmy Hoskins—Vy, a hunfortnnate pig, to
be sure; a pig as don’t uie a natural violent death
—one ns goes off’without being slick’d. (Laugis
ter.)
Commissioner —Then how does it die?
Jemmy Hoskins—Oh, warious ways. Souae
times a pig gets the measles, and sometimes
they gets smothered, and dies in tiiat way! (Great
symptons ol nausea in court.)
Commissioner —Butsurely you don't use such
unwholesome stuff for food?
Jemmy Hoskins—No, sir, we chops’em up
for sassingers—(roars of laughter)—and wofa
very bad indeed, we makes into saverlora and
Germans. We seasons up all on’em well, and
dries’em over burning sordust I
Commissioner —Upon my word, you are a
clever fellow. Fray what do you mean by lucky !
Tell the court what lucky is?
Jemmy Hoskins—A' lucky, sir, is a oss as
meets with a haccident in the street such as
breaking a leg, getting a shaft run inter him,
an sich likes (laughter.) We’re sure to buy
him cheap, cos he mus be sold. Meat’s beauti
ful, sit—you wouldn't know it from ox or beet.
Why, we picks out the prime parts for the cheep
soup houses and penny pie-shops. (Roara of
laughter.)
Commissioner—Well, Mr. Thomas Tubbe
and what do you say to all this!
Say, sir, (said Mr. Tubbs) —1 say as how this
ere man’s a lying warmint. The werry last
day as he left me he sjriled about three hundred
weight ot stuff.
Commissioner —Stuff! What stuff?
Mr. Tubbs—Why, the sassage meat, to be
sure. Instead of running the ptoperlicker intel
the skins, he tun’d in cold water; and, in course
the sassingers han i’t got no taste nor flavor in
’em at all. (Laughter.)
Commissioner—You hear thus, Mr. Jeiwny
Hoskins!
Year him, (said Jemmy, indignantly,) in
course, 1 years him. The mornin' as he speak*
on 1 was g<jin’ to fill the skins, and he comes up
to me, and taking a handful oi sassage mem,
he smells to it; and then a stakin' his head, be
ses, “Jemmy,” ses he, his yere’s rather too
strong; you’d better give it a rince over with the
licker in the bilers.” “Why, that's for making
ketchup.” ses I, “and that’s my perquisite.’
Commissioner—What! make catsup from wa
ter that horseflesh has been boiled in?
Jemmy Hoskins —Yes, sir; the best musfa
room ketchup in the world. (Laughter.)
A fat sleek-headed juryman here turned very
sickly.
Mr. Jemmy Hoskins continued—“ Fact is, sir
nobody don’t know what he years in London. I
want my money, that’s all, and it so hedonhtork
