To the above article the Macon Meeeenger re-
sponds thus:
When v/c are riot fully informed upon any sub
ject, tnd there is any uutiger that by a mistake we
Buy injure Others, or prejudice, their interests,
we proli;r to say nothing at all about it. For thi>
reason, though we knew for some days before it
Wis public y announced, that arrangement* had
boon male to pnreaaao the charter ot the Mer
chan'h’ Bank of Macon, we made no reforrenoo to
tho fact, and do not do so now, “to protect the
people against a fraud," bat to give to our oon
tsmporsrjna of the Chronicle & bentinel the in
form.iti cm wo have upon the subject.
it is true that Isaac Scott, und other gentle
men, have purchased tho charter of the Merchant*’
Bunk of Macon, and design to put it in operation
anovr. The parlies engaged in tiie project aro rc
spootoWc, eo fat us wo snow, and from tho in

The subscribers to tho new stock reside in Geor

These are tho fee » wo learn in regard to the revi

Os Macon, and wo submit that they do not rnako a
CiLifl of fraud upon the public, or justify the lan
gn nr * which the tfluoi.icU dt nmtiiul employs to

lent pr u nptiou to snripose that theso gentlemen

In pursuing i , they mU.nl, coolly and deliberately,
to dohniid the public, or that they will do it. 'i'lio
Chronicle <£• .Sentinel seem* to fear that they will
malt? the Mercliiints’ Bank a “wild cat” concern,
by which wo hulievo it moans to say tliut they de
sign to get out circiilu ion in another State.
Them i» nothing wrong in this yer ee. Onr
banking institution* do it to the exient of their
ability, uniformly, and without exception. There
is not. u Hank in Augusta, wo suppose, which
would not Her, afloat, at Apalachieolu, or any other
point In Florid t, all the hills it could, redeemable
nl Augusta. There is nothing wrong in this.
There may ho gr ss wrong perpetrated upon the
public by a bunking institution in this us in other
tilings, which arc right in themselves; and to find
fault with the purchasers of the Merchants’ Bank
upon this account, the Chroniile ifc Hrntinel must
asittine that they dosign to put out a circulation
elsewhere, which they 'could not get out at home,
and which they do not design to protect. We
will not in sumo any such thing, aud that is the
dimpledillerenco between us.
Generally it is wrong, nbiolulely and indefensi
bly wrong, lor citizens of a State to sell the bank
lug lianehi i i granted them by the Stßto, or to
uhj them otherwise than os it was contemplated
that they should bo used when granted ; and those
who buy are equally to blame with those who sell,
li lulling Cliariors are grunted for tho publio bene
fit, not lor individual profit, and tho publio bus a
property in them—at loast tliai kind of interest
which oiuhorizas indignation ugninst thoso who
purvi r ilium from thoir original design, or otlier
widi abuse thorn. But the Merchants’ Bank of
Macon i i uti exceptional case, its circulation has
been rodoomed, und its operations endod, and its
ohartor is as worthless as waste paper in the hands
of lit original corporators. The publio, for whose
benefit it was originally granted, nro boncfilled in
ntead of haing injured, by its purchase and revi
val, unless we assume that this is done with a view
to defraud them.
In whatever light, then, tiiislrunsaciionis viow
ed, wo must either conclude i mk there is no harm
in it, or Mitlcipato hud and dishonorable manage
ment on tlio part of llioec iutorcstod in it, which
wo will not do.
Iv the M*e.unaer had frankly ausworod oar en
quiries, wo should luivo published the nrticlo with
out a word of comment. We asked who tho parties
aro, who have purohasod the Merchant's Bank oi
Macon, and how muny sharos each oue hold! and
the above is the reply. They livo iu Georgia, N.
York, Massachusetts and Illinois. But as to who
they me, or tho amount of Btock oach one holds,
tho Meeeenger is studiously sileut—silent as the
tomb. Why this studied silonco! Itisvery ap
parent from the tone of the article, that it is by au
thority. The same informanfcould have furnished
that journal tho desired information. But wo
suppose the Messenger foarod it might “iq/are” the
stockholders, or "prejudice" their interest* I What
wo dashed to know, and what tho public are most
interested in knowlug, is, who aro the stockhold
ers, and what amount of stock each ono owns I
Wo could then determine, whethor tho Dirt dors
and President, werotho tnoro automatons or crea
tures of llioi.o stockholders In Now York, Massn
ebuaetts mid Illinois—and what guaruntoo tho
people of Georgia would have t list tho Bank wonld
he honestly managed. For we hold that the pub
lie should have some guarantee of rnon who would
Wlbark in the f raudulent use of a Bank Charter,
(and by that wo moan u use nover contemplated by
tho Legislature,) to mako ihorn act uprightly—we
(urn not what may have been their previous char
(actor for honesty and integrity. Uuoha commotion
is primu fiat evidence of a pnrpoa* to perpotrate
a fraud in some tLape or other, and the only safety
f r the UiMioldors is to have their property bound
to a sufEeier.t extent to secure thorn egalust such
designs.
Il tho objoctof these capitalists of Now York
and Illinois, was to do a legitimate Banking bttsi
new, based upon capital, tlio Free B«uking laws
of titoeo States afford them abundant epportunity
to invest their capital. They need not, thoroforo,
eomo so fir South to m»ke an investment iu Bank
Stocks. Nor wonld they do so, unless they eon
tsniplated some illegitimate transactions. This
proposition is too piaiu to bo rejected by nny man
of common sense,*md all the spocionsuess of tho
JAu-aagi/, aided by those Directors and Presi
dent, cannot e-cape its force. There is a wide
ditfereneo, vrhioh tho Mrtungtr perfectly nndor

ferent Stats, at a small discount, and arranging

view to give them a circulation to which they are

WasHiaeTO*, March 30,1854.
I informed yon in my last of the Nebraska Bill
having been referred to tbe Committee of the
Whole, upon the motion of Mr. Catting, of N. Y.,
end of the speech of Mr. Breckenridge, of Ky., in
which he took occasion to lecture Mr. C. some
what Beverly for the course be had taken, and im
puting to him motives inimical to the bill, while
he professed to be its friend; and I further stated,
that a reply to Mr. B’e. severe onslaught was ex
ported from Mr. C., whenever an opportunity
ahouid present. That opportunity was presented
end availed of on Monday last; when occurred one
of the most intensely exciting personal scene* I have
ever witnessed in the House; which no language
ean adequately describe, ainoe words cannot convey
any just idea of the tone, look, empbeaie and man
ner of the two principal characters in the melo
drama, nor the excited state ot their respective
friends.
The language used by each, so far as steno
graphic reporters osn give it, you have in the daily
papers of this city j and you have also very graph
ic, and much more truthful end vivid descriptions
of the scene from the pens of letter writers in tbe
N. Y. Herald and other papers; I shall not, there
fore, attempt, after eo many days have passed
away, to give your readers a description of it. But
I may remark, that both gentlemen showed suf
ficient mettle on the occasion, and were well match
ed in point of capacity and talent. Mr. Cutting
was cool, self-possessed and wary—rather provok
iogly so, and seemed to take pleasure in uttering
taunts in a tone end manner ealenleted to goad
end stieg bis antagonist; while Mr. Breckenridge
bore himself in a proud and lofty manner, and
dashed at his opponent with a fierce and energetic
invective. The latter chated in “the whirlwind of
his passion,” while the other stood unmoved,
ready to pary any blow, and to seize the first fa
vorable opportnnity to give one.
Mr, C. having charged Mr. B. with tlulling be
hind the Senate (Nebraska) bill, and having re
fused, upon Mr. B’s. request to retract the word
tkalk, tbe latter declared in the most energetic and
defiant manner, that it was /alee, and Mr. C. knew
it.
To tbia, Mr. C. coolly replied that ho should net
answer ruck remarks upon that floor. They belonged
to a different arena. He would not there desecrate
his lipa by wordasneh aa they deserved, <fcc.
His purpose was sufficiently indicated, and ac
cordingly, for two days past, the community has
been much excited by various contradictory and
painful rumore in regard to a hostile meeting on
“a different arena,” between the two belligerents.
But though it Is understood that a challenge has
been given and accepted, yet np to this time, no
such meeting had taken place, and it is understood
that the affair is in the hands of judicious friends.
The letter lately written by ox-Senator Clemens,
to the Editor of the Huntsville, Ala., Democrat, and
tho ono lie has since written to Gen. Peirce, in re
ply, apparently, to a note from the latter complain
ing of his misunderstanding him, Gen. P., have
beon the topics of conversation pretty generally
here among Southern men without regard to their
political affinities.
Mr. Clemens says to the President, “ you have
called my attention * * * * particularly to
tlio following senfenoe:
“He expressed great surprise at the opposition
it met with from the North, and equal surprise
that the South should be willing to take it.”
Mr. t!., admits that tho President may have
said the “ true nun ot the North and satisfied
with this very unimportant correction, Gen. Pierce
is content with tho record as now msdo up, and
publishes it in tho Union. Does he ask Mr. Clem
ens to deny that ho, Gen. P., had said to him and to
a northern Senator, that “Donglas’ bill wbb a prop
osition in favor of freedom, and if it should pass,
although we might absorb all Mexico, not another
slave State would ever come into the Union!”
Not at all; and by his silence admits that be did
use this language. Thus stands tbe record as
made up by himself.
And now, admit that the President ie in favor
of tho possago of the Nebraska Bill; why is he so,
from his own showing! Is it not clearly because
it is “a proposition in favor of freedom,” [anti
slavery] and because, if itpassdk, he thinks that ,
“ not another Blave State would over come into tho
Union!" Cun you, or anyone, in all candor, mako
any thing elso of this language! Hero we have
tho koy to ail tho duplicity which has character
ized the President’s course, and that of his organ, 1
in regard to the Nebraska Bill; the lame and fee- i
bio support givon it, and then altogether withheld
from it; the kcoping in, and oven appointing to
office monos known hostility to the measure, and
at the same time professing to Southern men to be i
decidedly for it. It is not too much to say that i
tho publication of theso two letters has shaken
tho confidence of every friend of tho measure of
whntever political shade, in the sincerity and
truthfulness of the President, and created general
distrust. It is ovident he thinlce he is riding a
“ Greek Horae” into the slaveJJtatee, and wonders
that the South eiioaid take it. Can it be expeoted
that tho measure will Biiooeed under such a leader!
The Committee on Foreign Eolations to whom
whs referred the President’s mesne go on the Black
Warrior case, neither has reported, nor intend to
report until the administration intimate what mea
sures the; desire to have adopted. Kossuth’s lot
tor on the rejeotion of Geo. Sanders, is truly the
height of audacity and impudonos.
The Gadsden treaty has been so severely hand
led that it is thought it will not survive the at
tack, and will Anally be rejected.
OeUTHORFE.
P. B.—The latest rumor is that all attempts to
bring about an accommodation between Mr. Cut
ting and Mr. Brcckenridgo, have proved abortive,
and that they are to fight with rifles at ten paces.
There may, howover, bo no truth in this.
Col. Benton, spoke to-day, against the six frig
ato bill, taking the ground that we wanted no navy
whatever.
Washinoton, Maroh 81.
It was announced in tho Houso this morning,
that tho diflioulty botween Messrs. Cutting and
Breckenridgo had beenadjußted upon terms hon
orable to both parties. What those terms are, will
only be known authentically when the whole cor
respondence shall have been made publio.
The House to-day passed, without amendment,
the Senate bill to authorize the bnilding of six
Btenm frigates. It now only requires the signature
of the President to become a law.
The Admininistration, it is said, are playing the
samo game in Connooticut, in regard to the Ne
braska question, that they did in Now Hampshire.
The State eleotion takes place there on Monday
noxt, and tho Administration papers are one and
all out against the measure; and, I »ui informed,
affirming that Gen. Pioroe is also hostile to it. The
Union has led its readers suoh a jaok-o-lantern
dance upon this subject that it would puzzle any
of them to tell whether he is for or against it; a
friend or au enemy. And really, so far as his per
sonal influence goes, aside from any patronage he
may have to bostow, It is a matter of very little
moment what bis toolings are towards it.

Hobbs’ Lock Picked, —There can be no doubt,
the Scientific American says, of the fact that “Day
A Nowell’s American Lock," under the care of
Mr. Hobbs, now in London, has been snccessfally
picked by Mr. Goater, foreman of Chubb’s estab
lishment. A long correspondence has in oonse
quence taken place between Mr. Hobbs and tbe
successful picker of his lock. Tbe London Me
chanic’s Magazine is very severe upon our country
man for endeavoring to bring English looks and
locksmiths into disrepute. It accuses him of as
serting in one lecture that his lock oouid not be
picked, andigain (after it had been picked) make
the statement that it could be picked. It there
fore fastens the charge of tergiversation upon him.
An nnpickable lock, is therefore, one of the things
yet to be discovered.
Accident ontheThaci.— We learn that, on Sun
day last, tbe passenger train on the Nashville and
Chattanooga Railroad, when running at the high

riding a mule on the track. Both were instantly
killed. Every alarm was given and every eflort
made that was possible to avoid the aocident, but
tho carelessness of the negro rendered all precau
tion vain. The accident occurred near Alisonia.—

The Dcel at Washington.— lt will be seen, by
reference to our Telegraphic dsepatch, that a duel
has taken place between Messrs. Bkeckessidge
and Cutting, of the House, in which the latter
was wounded. The debate in which the provok
ing language was used, will be found in the Con
gressional proceedings of Monday.
In our Evening Edition yesterday, it was incor
rectly stated that the former was wounded.
James Raymond, the well known manager of
menageries, who died in Putnam county, New
York, on the SSd ult., leaving property valued at
#1,500,000, has left, it is said, a bequest of #IB,OOO
to Col. Alvah Mann, to indemnify him for his loss
in erecting the Broadway Theatre, in New York.
Mr. Raymond during his lifetime endowed a semi
nary for young ladies near the village of Carmel,
New York, and would have conveyed the property
to the institution forever, had the Legislature by
an act remitted the taxee upon it. It will now re ■
vert to his heirs wbo are a son and three daugh
ters. The deceased commenced business with a
single elephant, in which a large portion of hia
neighbors had more or lees stock; and from this
small beginning, more than thirty years since has
been developed the huge caravans of animal.
which have overspread the country.

The Deseret News publishes a report from tbe
Mormon missionaries sent to China. They met
with such poor success that they returned to San
Franciscoafter a few months’ labor among the
Celestials. At Hong Kong they preached in the
streets and soon found that the Chinees who could
speak English had “no time to talk religion.” The
Mormon books were returned unread and so the
missionaries returned themselves. From Hindoe
tan reports are also discouraging. From Cape of
Good Hope the reports show considerable pro
gress. The missionaries to the Sandwich Islands
also report great success. The reports of the tra v
elling elders in Utah show general prosperity in
settlements, crops, buildings, manufactures and
spiritual matters. ,

overtures of this kind to the British Government
daring his visit to England in 1844; and that a se

Mr. FUl—re.lw New Orleans.
The Common Connell of New Orleans having
resolved to proffer to Millard Fillmore, an ex-Pre
aidentoftbe United States, accompanied by his
friend and fellow traveler, John P. Kennedy, ex-
Secretary of the Navy, a public reception on his
arrival here, the committee appointed for the pur
pose, invited those distinguished visitors to make
an excursion np and down the river yesterday
morning, and afterwards to accompany them to the
City Hall, there to be presented to onr citizens.—
This invitation being accepted, Messrs. Fillmore
and Kennedy, accompanied by ex Secretary of
War, Conrad, Lieut. Governor Farmer, the Mayor
of the city, Gen. Lewis, Mayor elect, the Collector
of the Port, and a majority of the Council, together
with several of our most respectable citizens, em
barked at 9 o’clock, A. M., on the fine steam
boat Robert J. Ward, Capt. Miller, under a salute
of .artillery, end proceeded op the river for some
diatanoe, and then returning, past the oity, and as
far down as the battle ground. Thenoe returning,
the cortege arrived at tbe landing, head of Canal
street, at abont noon.
The day was one of the finest of the season, and
the trip was, in every reepect, delightful. Among
the oompany on board were several ladies, whose
smiles and conversation added an attractive charm
to the excursion. An exoelient band aided greatly
in the agreeable effect by tbe eloquent music it dis
coursed during the passage.
On landing from tbe boat, Mayor Crossman ad
dressed tbe city’s guests, in a few appropriate
words—as nearly as we could catch them, they
were, in substance these :
Mr. Fillmore, the pleasant duty devolveson me,
as Chiet Magistrate ol this city, to welcome yon on
behalf of my fellow citizens, to New Orleans, and
to tender to yon the hospitalities of the city. Oc
cupying, as yen have done, sir, the highest office
in the gift of the American people, we but honor
ourselves in honoring you, as having been the re
cipient of the proudest distinction which the world
can confer. But sir, without using the langaage
of flattery, I may say that yon have peculiar claims
on our gratitude and regard. Called npon by a
mysterious dispensation of Providence and at a
most trying period in our domestic history to fill
the exalted station of President of the United
States, yon rolled back the tide of fanaticism which
threatened to ovirwhelm the oonntry, and nobly
vindicated the constitution, under the benign
auspices of which the North and tbe South, tbe
East and the West claimed equal protection and
support, and found it at yonr hands. Those trials
and those dangers have not been forgotten, and
that it has been reserved for me to express the
sentiment of my fellow-citizens to one who has de
served so well of bis country, is a matter of special
gratification.
Permit me to assure von in conolnsion air,
that we are moat heartily rejoiced to tee yon
amongst os.
Mr. Fillmore said briefly that he received this
warm and cordial welcome to New Orleans, with
feelings of the deepest gratitude, blended with
sentiments of the liveliest pleasure.
Amidstsaivos of artillery, which had continued
uninterruptedly from the time the steamer hove in
sight, on her return from down the river the pro
cession was formed, according to the programme
of the committee, and, under escort or a military
battalion, under the command of Gen. Palfrey—
the gueßta of the oity and their friends riding in
open carriages—passed through Canal to Chartres
street, down Chsrtres to St. Ann street, down St.
Ann to Boyal street, np Royal and St. Charles
streets to the City Hall.
Along this entire line, the streets were literally
thronged with spectators, inside and ontsido of
the honaea, stores, hotels and other public build
ings. The baloonies, ail along the ronte were
filled with ladies ; ladies occupied till the windows
looking on the streets through which the proces
sion passed; ladies were in the balconies at the
corner of Chartres and Canal, and Boyal and Ca
nal ; ladies’ bright eyes and sparkling smiles, out
vied all the jewels in Hyde & Goodrich’s ware
rooms, as they beamed down upon the cortege from
Hyde & Goodrich’s extended balcony ; the St.
Louis and St. Charles Hotels were perfectly radi
ant with the presenoe of ladies; while ever and
anon portions of this brilliant array oi beauty and
fashion waved their kerchiefs, and threw their
bouquets, in honor of the city’s guest. It was,
indeed, a sight to be seen, and a sight long to re
member.
Arrived at the City Hall, after a few moment’s
rest in the Mayor’s room, Mr. Fillmore and Mr.
Konnedv, sot >mpanied by Mr. Conrad, and the
rest of those who had formed the procession, were
invited to the front portico, where a temporary
platform had been erected. There they found
themselves face to face with a crowd that number
ed many thousands, who greeted their coming
with rounds of hearty cheers.
P. C. Wright, Esq., of the board of the Council,
and the Chairman ot the Committee of Arrange
ments, addressed Mr. Fillm >re as follows:
Sir—l have the honor in behalf of the Mayor
and Common Council of New Orleans, to bid yon
welcome to the hospitalities of the city.
Permit me to assure you sir, that when New Or
leans others her hospitality to the stranger, it iB no
unmeaning ceremony. Tho lips speak the full
ness of the heart, and the hand of welcome ia ex
tended in obedience to its noblest impulses.
Sir, you are no stranger, though for the first
time present among us.
The name of Millard Fillmore ia familiar to our
citixens of whatsoever paity or sect, and always
awakens the boat emotions of the truly American
heart; omotions of natural pride and gratitude—
pride in the glorious institutions planted by our
fathers, which inculcate, foster and reward lofty
virtue in tho citizen; and gratitude towards an
honest, faithful, and capable defender of the prin
ciples upon which those institutions rest.
Were Ito attribute to yon, sir, the highest
characteristics of the statesman—to rank yonr
name with these which have shed lnstre upon the
name and institutions of our country, I oould
not suspeot myself of indulging in unmerited
energy.
Your Administration, sir, though not marked,
as have been those which preceded it, by achieve
ments of oar armies, is conspicuously distinguish
ed by enob events as in litneß ot peace call into ex
ercise and full development the tradscendant
qualities of the statesman. Events which demand
ed on the part of the Chief Magistrate, especially
unyielding firmness, patriotism, and signal ability
in maintaining tho principles upon which the fab
ric of oar oonslitation rests, when, for the first
time, men dared to caloulate the value of that con
stitution and of the Union itself. But, sir, yon
were found equal to the emergencies, and yonr
country will honor yon.
Sir, may you in retirement be as bappy as your
public servroes have been gratifying to yonr coun
try, and honorable to yourself.
Again, sir, in behalf of the Cresoent City, I bid
you a beartv welcome as her guest, whom she
delights to honor. Haring the time you may
please to honor us with yonr sojourn, you may
have opportunity by personal observation to be
oome to some extent acquainted with the peouliar
institutions of the South, and the qualities and
leading characteristics of our citizens. The gallant
sons and fairest daughters of Louisiana will greet
you with a welcome from hearts enlarged and ex
paned beneath bright and glowing skies, and amid
the influences of nature displayed in her boundless
magnifioenoe.
Again sir, in the name of these assembled thou
sands weloome to New Orleans. [Cbeera.]
Mr. Fillmore bowed in acknowledgement of this
handsome address, and advanoing to the front of
the platform, addressed the assemblage at some
length. He was received with the most enthusi
asts applause. Ho said he had been very unex
pectedly made a witness of such a sceno as was
then presented to his view, and he must confess
he was entirely taken by surprise, and was quite
unprepared to reply to each a welcome as ho had
received. He ooula not conceive how it was that
he had been>made tho subject of such an honor.
Were he a military chieftain, had he been associa
ted with the recollection of any of liis country’s
glorious buttles—hi d the reins of power in his
ands—or was he a partisan candidate for a high
office, he coaid not underatand such a demonstra
tion, such an eloquent reception, at the hands of
his friend, and such a yet more eloquent reception
as was expressed by tho faces of men he saw and
heard around him. He alluded to the journey ho
had made from the icy North to the sunny South,
and to the wolcome ho had reoeived during the
whole of his tonr. He knew something, he eaid,
of the history of this State and of the Crescent
City; but the half had not been told him. As he
passed down the noble Mississippi, and marked
the o escent line of shipping and steamers, ves
sels of all parts of onr country, and from all lands,
with their various flags, he could not but fancy
that curving line the rainbow, as it were, of com
merce. [Enthusiastic cheering.]
Mr. Fillmore reiterated the confession that he
was embarrassed by the warmth ot this reception
—by the eight of a spectacle like this. Rome, in
her palmiest days, had deoreed no more distin
guished an honor to her generals returning with
triumph from a well fought field, and why should
he bo the recipient of such f Why was he there is
Buch an attitude f He could not but feel as he stood
there, that all whom ho saw before him were as
dear to him as those with whom ho had lived in
his own native North. [Renewed cheers.] Ho
alluded to the compliments paid him by the chair
man of the committee in connection with his pub
lio acts, an d declined assuming the honor express
ly for himself. He then adverted to the election
of Gen. Taylor, a citisen of Louisiana, and in
the same connection to that of Gen. Jackson, as a
Eroot that republics are not ungrateful. He did,
e said, when in offloe, no more than was his sim
ple duty. He trusted he did it fearlessly. He
knew he did it houestly. [Great cheers.] After
some further remarks ho said ho had neon talking
without method, and it was natural, after what he
had seen that day, that he should be somewhat ex
ited. He had heard a great deal before of the
loveliness of the fair daughters of New Orleans,
but he had never before felt the fascination of
Creole eyee. [Laughter and cheering.] Again lie
offered the assemblage his grateful thanks for the
kindness shewn to him ana to those who accom
panied him, and sat down amidst the wannest
applau«e.
Mr. Kennedy and Judge Conrad then madea few
eloquent remarks, winch were well received, but
which we regret we have not allowed ourselves the
space to report; and after an half hour devoted to
the reception of such citizens as wished to pay
their respects, the President and his party were
escorted to their quarters at the St. Charles Hotel.
I was in all respects a most brilliant and memo
rable oeremonial, as honorable to the city who'paid,
as to those distinguished citizens who received it.
It is stated that a commander of a vessel, and
who is a naturalized American, was recently mob
bed at Valparaiso, on the ground that he had ill
treated his passengers, a number of Chilians, and
when he asked for protection from the authorities,
they threw him into prison. The U. B. Consul ad
vised the governor of the province that he recog
nized the Captain as an Amerioan citizen, and de
manded for him • fair, prompt and impartial trial.
He oomplained also that the mate of the vessel had
been mobbed, and declared that unless such pro
ceedings were stopped, he would make a national
affair of it. _

“The greatest sufferers by the cataatrophy were
the good people living at the Dove, ten miles north
east of WytheviUe. A stable, we are loid, of or
dinary size, was raised into the Mr, and torn to
pieces, and the largest boards were carried by the
wind to the top of thf Cove mountain—a distance
of more than a mile—and the logs, from one hill
to another, withont touching the ground. The
half of a two story house was raised, and carried
for several hundred yards, into a field, withont
being broken,until it was rased by the fall. As
for the fences, &<l, these were but as ‘chaff in

■ bishop Hugbes, bas addressed tbe subjoined note
j to the Charleston Mercury:
, Meesre. t ditort : 1 have been quite astonished
, at the programme of political opinions and politi
i cal purposes imputed to me in tho newspapers,
3 regarding the much talked of Annexation of the
Island of Cuba. The prime autiior of these impu
tations dors not appear; butthe Editor of ihe
Washington Star lakes bis pluce boiore the public
1 and of coarse can have noobjection to iny holding
!■ him responsible, which I do— -for Ike present. —
, When 1 reach Washington, I shall do myself the
honor of calling on the Editor, to ascertain the
name of the gentleman on whose testimony ho has
made such unwarrantable use of mine.
In the mean time—having a distinct reoolleotion
' of every conversation on the subject of Cuban An
nexation in whiob I took tbe slightest part—
whether ingoing from New-York to Havana, or in
comingfrom Havana to New-Orleans—l have no
hesitation in pronouncing the article above alluded
to, whether as regards the letter or as regards the
spirit of the same, utterly unfounded m truth.
The Editor of the Washington Star, however, may
be able to refresh my memory.
I was in Cuba as an invalid, by tho advice of my
physician in New-York. But whilst there I sew
no signs of "‘degradation” or “imbecility” in the
“Creole population.” On tho contrary, I found
them quite on a par with corresponding classes of
society in our own and other countries through
which I have had occasion to travel. Neither did
I witness any evidences of “incapacity” in those
who administer the government of tne Island.—
On the contrary, I found them well educated, kind
and accomplished gentlemen—highly qualified to
discharge their respective duties with honor and
ability.
Bo tar, then, from having any complaint to make
against either the Government of Cuba or the Cre
ole population, I take this opportunity to express
my gratitudo and thanks for the distinguished at
tentions, I received at their hands. It the gentle
man who wrote the “private letter”—who did not
coma with me from Hsvr na to New Orleans, but
“went.”—or the Editor of the Washington Star,
or both, wish to make out a case against the Gov
ernment and Creole population of Cuba, they will
do well to summon other witnesses. The testimo
ny of the individual with whose humblo name
they havetakon such indelicate and unwarrantable
liberties cannot be of the least service to them.

Mexican Frauds. —The report of the Committee
on Mexican Claims, which was on Tuesday pre
sented to the Senate by Mr. Brodhead, embraces,
besides the report itself, the journal of the pro
ceedings of the oomuiiitee, the testimony taken
before them, and the report of tbe Commissionprs
(of whom the Hon. Henry May was chief) sent to
Mexico by the committee to investigate tho cases
of George A. Gardiner and John H. Mears, This
latter report embraces the journal of the commis
sion, kept by Mr. May, detailing very minutely
the action of the commission, and also various de
positions and authenticated official documents, as
'veilas the correspondence between Verastique and
John C. Gardider, proving conclusively, and be
l ond the shadow of a doubt, not only the guilt of
the accused, (Gardinor,) but revealing his accom
plice in Mexico. The testimony taken before the
committee will tend to show who were his accom
plices in Washington. The claim of Mears tor a
quicksilver mine is shown to have been, from be
ginning to end, a fabrication and fraud. From
many of tho memorials, in reference to the adju
dications of the late board referred to the commit
tee, they ask to be discharged—tho committee
being of opinion that tho claimants received not
only what they were legally and equitably entitled
to, but, in some instances, mnch more. This re
mark applies particularly to tho class of cases aris
ing out of tho seizure of the eohooners Julius Cte ar,
Champion, and Louisiana. In the ease of Alexan •
der J. Atocba, the committee were equally divided
as to the merits of the claim. The claim of Jarrero
they pronounced to be eminently American, and,
as such, the claimaut eutitled to relief. In tho
esse of Jonas P. Levy, the oommmitteo report fa
vorably upon one item of the claim, but reject all
the others.
Tho whole report will cover some flvo or six hun
dred pages of printed matter. It will prove a high
ly interesting document to readers generally.—

be effected, very often to tho injustice of many ;

OBITUARY.
Died, at Lochnie, East Flo Ha, on the 28th ult, ED
WARD 11. OA'IES, third and youngest *on of the lata
Gbohgb Oates, of Oiartotoo, P. 0 , aged 29 years.
In all ihe various 'tlxtons of Ife he cxempl’fied aeon
6ist*-nt and symmetrical piety, and cied n the full hone of
a bli ftful immo tality.
Aflf c ion wi 1 ch-neh h J s m»mcry, rnd his famil* and
friends, whi e deploring tneir loss, will rejoice In his eter
nal gain.
Calm ©o the bosom of tly God,
Pure rp rit r*st thee now ;
E’en while with us tby V otsteps trod,
Unmi wa- on thy brew.
Dust to its narrowhou=i * beneath
-Boul to Its p a e on high—
Tb->y th* have seen ihy look in death,
No more will fear to die.
Died, at Becluseva’, (the residence of his paternal Grand
mother, )on Tuesday, the 14th inst., at 9 P M.,FREEMAN,
eldest son of Col. to, H. t. and Mrs. Mary T. Walker,
aged 4 ytars and 7 months.
Thus, after the brief illness of a few days, with scarcely
a note cf warning, has de-ith removed from time to eterni
ty this lovely child, who w*s truly the Joy of hi* devoted
parents and the ie light of ad who knew him. Thefot dest
hopes, the brightest anticipations were cherished for his
future pathway in life, for he was a child iodeed of rare
qualities both of head and hearl; but God, in his wisdom,
has seen fit to take him to himself; and whilst the hearts
of afflicted parents, and endeared r* latives and friends
bleed at their sad bereavement it should be a consolation
for them to know that ‘it is well with the child.'
Sweet lovely Spring-time blossom,
So like the merntrg ray,
As the s ft dew upon the rose
To blest—then fade away.
It was the call of Angels
That lured him from our love;
But s t’s a comfort to our hearts
To know ho rests above. •
In this city, on the 26th inst., WILLIAM HENRY,onIy
