unci the same number on the second. It was evident that his whole force had been brought out, and that ho could not get an other Whig vote. It appeared also that fir. Clarke, the old and very efficient offi 'cer, who was turned out by the Jackson party, eight years ago, was the choice of the non-content Whigs, though ho could only raise 38 Whig votes. The Locos had an invincible repugnance to going for Mr. Smith, for two reasons —one that he was a Conservative, and the other that lie was the regular candidate of the Whig party. — Th,.x would not give him one vote; and, finally, they adopted Clarke as their can didate, and gave him nearly 80 votes, by which he was elected. A resolution was adopted for the appoint ment of a joint committee ton ait on ‘'the President,” and inform him that the two Houses were assembled ready to receive any communication from him. While this was under consideration, Mr. M’Kcon, of New-York, moved to strike out the words “ President of the United States,” and in sert “ Vice-President of the United States, acting as President.” Mr. M’Keon went into an argument to show that Mr. Tyler had no claim to the title of President, tho’ the powers and duties of that office devolv ed on him. Mr. Wise resisted this view, and hoped the House would recognise Mr. Tyler as -President—he having become the President by the action of the Constitution, by the votes of the people, and by the act of God. The House was unwilling to entertain any discussion of the subject, and rejected the motion very promptly. Mr. Wise moved that the rules of the House be adopted for the government of this tor the present, and that a committee of nine be appointed to revise the rules forth with. Mr. Adams moved to amend the motion by rescindimg the 21st rule, which rule was adopted at the beginning of the last Congress, tor the purpose of excluding abolition petitions. Pending this motion, the House adjourned. Every one laughed when Mr. Adams made the motion. Washington, June 2. The Message was received yesterday, and read in both Houses. It was of course very attentively listened to. There was little said in the debates on the printing of the message concerning its general charac ter. Gentlemen seemed more backward than usual in the expression of their opin ions. Mr. Pickens, however, spoke very freely and decidedly in condemnation of the President’s distribution scheme ; and his suggestions in favor of a fiscal agency founded on that scheme. He denounced it as a stock-jobbing speculation, and an at tempt to create, under anew name, a great central money power. Tho plan will be probably to create a stock of some forty millions, for the pay ment of which the proceeds of the lands will be set apart. This stock sold abroad, will give us the cash capital lor a respectable bank, to be located at the seat of the federal government, and be employed as a fiscal a gent. The States will then he tho owners, stockholders, and managers of this institu tion, and its dividends will be paid to them. By this means the States will he enabled to pay their debts without a very heavy taxa tion, the value of their present stocks will he increased, and they will be enabled to continue and complete their improvements. Mr. Adams spoke to-day, in favor of his motion to rescind the 21st rule, which pro vides that no memorial, petition, or other paper respecting slavery or the slave-trade between the States, shall he received or en tertained in any manner whatever. Mr. A. denounced this salutary rule in the strong est manner. lie considered it as a grievous oppression to prohibit the North from inter fering with Southern petitions. He said the rule was adopted by only six majority, the vote being 114 to 108, and that only twenty-three Northern men went for it. The subject was postponed for the pres ent, hut will probably be taken up again to day. Mr. Clay gave notice, in the Senate, that he should move to refer that part of the President’s message which relates to the establishment of a fiscal agency to a select committee. Os course, Mr. Clay will he tiie chairman of that committee, and will make a speedy report, and bring forward a project without delay. The bank or fiscal agency will first be tried in the Senate, and if it pass that body, it will assuredly pass the House. Washington, June 3. Mr. Clay yesterday brought forward his motion for a select committee of nine Sena tors from different parts of the Union, to take into consideration that part ofthe President’s message relative to the establishment of a fiscal agent for the collection, disbursment, and safekeeping of the revenue. The com mittee wasordered without opposition, and it is to be appointed by the Chair. Mr. Clay will be the chairman, and will, as he has intimated, exert himself to procure a speedy report and speedy action on the subject.— It appears probable, therefore, that the scheme for a national bank of some kind will originate in the Senate, and be perfect ed first in that body. It is now believed that Mr. Preston fully co-operates with Mr. Clay, and that a bill establishing a bank will pass the Senate. Should the House embrace it, it will come before the Presi dent, and the failure of one bill on account of objections, on the part of the Executive, will not involve the loss of the measure, but lead to the framing of another scheme less objectionable. Both houses have unanimously agreed to the appointment of joint committee to con sider and report what measures ought to be adopted for paying suitable honor to the memory of the late President. The com mittee recommend the appointment of a member to deliver a eulogy on his life and character, and will also report a bill ma king proper and liberal provision for his family. The Senate has chosen by a ballot the chairmen of their standing committees, and the other members are selected by the Chair. Os course, there has been such a change in tho construction of tho moro im portant committees as to give a preponde rance to tho views of the administration.— With Mr. Rives at the head of the foreign relations, and Mr. Clay of finance, we may expect to see the policy of tho administra tion fully and speedily developed, in regard to all matters at home and abroad. The dcvelopement of the enormous abu ses, frauds and oppressions practised in tho New York Custom House, calls for a revis ion oftho revenue laws in important partic ulars. The instinctive dread manifested at Mr. Adams’ revenue hill in the two last ses sions, is fully justified. That scheme into which Mr. Adams’ was drawn by his pro tective prejudices, was evidently intended to promote, instead of suppressing, fraud and corruption. The close league which, for twelve years, has existed between tho collecting and disbursing officers of the gov ernment, on tho one part, ami the party in power, has engendered every species of fraud and iniquity. It is time that this co venant of mutual support between the government and its agents should be dis solved. President Tyler is, l think, dis posed to cut the tie asunder. Washington, June 4. The proceedings of Congress have be come very interesting. The abolition ques tion, and the financial question are at once pressing upon us. The House not having adopted rules, cannot make any progress, even so far as to appoint the Standing Com mittees. Mr. Adams moved to except the 21st rule and to rescind the same. He had asserted that the mover of that rule (Mr. W. Cost Johnson) was a tool of the Van Buren party, and that he made that party his tool, and he had insinuated that the new administration would repeal Iho rule.— This called forth vehement replies from Mr. Wise and Mr. Johnson. They assert ed that tho rule excluding abolition peti tions, was made by the Southern Whigs, without concert with tho twenty two North ern Van Buren men who supported it, and they insisted that the President, and Mr. Webster and the majority of the Whigs in Congress entirely approved of that rule. They implored the House not to abandon it The previous question was moved and sec onded, hut the motion for the main question was then lost —so the subject was then ta ken from possession of the House for one day. The Northern Democrats will go for rescinding the rule, inasmuch as they lost instead of gaining,in a political pointof view, by tho measure. Their policy is to let the Northern Whigs fight out the battles with their South ern allies. There will he much difficulty in settling thequestion. Let the rule he drop ped, and it can never be revived. Aboli tion agitation must increase and disturb the attention and disturb the action of'Con gross. The Report of the Secretary of the Treas ury was communicated and read. It is an aide and lucid docum.-nt. It recommends the establishment of a Bank. Mr. Wise moved to call on the Secretary for his plan of a Bank, which will avoid as he says, all constitutional scruples. Mr. Underwood, was averse to taking plans for legislation from the Executive Departments. He ua for a Bank, and he wanted to see. at once, whether the House was. We had exami ned plansand debated the subject fir twelve years. It was now time to act. He. would submit a simple resolution, declaring that the House was of opinion that the Sub Treasury should be repealed and the Bank established. If this was lost, he was ready to go home. I fit was carried, we would proceed to mature a plan. There was not one member in the House who had not made up his mind on this question, and no debate could change it. This is coming to the point. 1 hope the House will meet the question fuirlv and fully. They adjourned without deciding it. Mr. Clay has got his Finance Committee and his select Bank Committee at work, in the Senate. A resolution was passed yes terday, in the Senate, on motion of Mr. Clay, instructing the Committeeon Finance to inquire into the expediency of reporting a bill to repeal the Sub-Treasury. Mr. Calhoun said if the Sub-Treasury was a bandoned, there was but one substitute—a National Bank. To that we should be driven. Mr. Clay was glad to hear this opinion. Me knew that a Bank was the only alter native. But the people had condemned ihe Sub-Treasury, and it now remained to make the substitute. Ho would however, repeal the Sub-Treasury, even if there were no substitute. Mr. Rives said there were many substi tutes to he found—the President had sug gested several. There was a fiscal agency, a Bank, and a league of Slate Banks. He would pledge himself to none of these ; but here, in his place, he would now pledge himselfto go for the immediate repeal of the Sub-Treasury. I presume Mr. Clay will report a bill to repeal the Sub-Treasury in a day or two. He may do it this morning. He will act promptly. Many suppose that the session will be a short one. The House, however, maypre sent obstacles to any action, by becoming involved in abolition and President-making discussions and manaevres. INTERESTING RELIC OF THE EUTAYV BATTLE-GROUND. We arc in possession, through the kind ness of Wm. Sinkler, Esq. of St. John’s Berkley, who now owns the Revolutionary Battle Ground of the Eutaw, of an old fash ioned English gold-watch, dug up very re cently near the foundation ofthe celebrated Brick House, in which the British took shelter, and by means of which they were enabled to check the, till then, victorious A mericans, under Greene, at the battle ofthe Eutaw, and thus to prevent the consumma tion of the American victory. The watch is a small one, inclosed in a gold case, and the golden portion of it is in complete pres- ervation ; hut tho brass and tho steel of the i works are in such a state of rust, as to ren- j der it incapable of restoration to use, with out a substitution of entire new works.— ‘ The chrystal is perfect, and so are tho hands and face—the hours arc denoted by numerical letters, and the minutes by fig. ures. On the enamelled face appear, in capitals, “ Duchesne,” and in smaller let ters, “London.” In tho interior, “Dl. Duchesne, London,” also indicates the ma ker’s name; and tho number is “ 5995.” This relic doubtless belongin'! to some Bri tish or American officer, who bore a part in that celebrated passage of arms, at once so full of glory, and so auspicious in its re sults, to our State and to the American cause. It was probably in the fob of one who fell on that memorable occasion, and was buried with him, and it would be curi ous indeed were this publication to he the means of identifying the former owner. Charleston Courier. mm AND GAZETTE. j rr.ixcii’LES and men. j WASHINGTON, GA. THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1841. FOll GOVERNOR, WILLIAM C. DAWSON. CdT The communication of “ Fair Play” is unavoidably deferred. It shall he pub lished next week. OiF We have devoted a great part of our paper this week to Congressional intelli gence, presuming it would he of the most interest to our readers, especially in the present dearth of any other kind of news. The President’s Message. We are indebted to the attention of the Hon. R. W. Habersham, for a copy of the Message, in time for to day’s paper. It is a plain, concise, and practical docu ment. Without amplification or ornament, it sets forth the condition of our National affairs in so luminous a manner, that all can understand. It requires little com ment, and with hut little upon its most im portant topic we give it to our readers, con- j fideut that it will receive from them, that j attentive perusal which its importance de mands. “Comparisons are odious,” it is said, hut if any are fond of making them, they can find a strong difference between Mr. Tyler’s and Mr. Van Buren’s last mes sage, and much in favor of the former. All have looked anxiously to tho appear ance of the message, in expectation of learning the course which President Tyler would think proper to adopt in relation to the National Bank question. Some have expected that nothing would be said about she matter, others looked for a decided dec laration in its favor. The first course would have shown an ignorance of, or in difference to public sentiment and the ex cited state of public feeling on tho question, or a fear to meet it, incompatible with the j character of the President; the latter course i ’ | would have been rash and precipitate, while the plan of the Bank is not yet ma tured and digested, and the President can not know with what features, objectionable on constitutional grounds, it may be pre sented to him. Mr. Tyler has, therefore, pursued the wisest course in leaving the matter entirely with Congress, fresh from ilieir constituency, and who must on that account be supposed to know best tile peo ple’s wishes. No doubt can exist, howev er, that in the mind of the President, there is a great preference to a National Bank over every other scheme that has been tri ed, and that he will follow the example of his patriotic predecessors and give his sanc ; tion to the plan which shall he adopted by j Congress, if iie can find no constitutional j objection to it. Tho Sub-Treasury and pet Bank schemes find no favor with him and tho only other practicable fiscal agent is a National Bank, which a large Majority of | the people are in favor of, if all the irnpor j tant elections of the past year, when the Loco foco papers invariably asserted the contest to lie between the Bank and anti- Bank parties, give any token of the people’s wishes. “ The free Ranking system is a great eye-sore to the Whigs. The idea of a set of country clod-hoppers getting up a Bank, upon their own resources, is a great annoyance to the Aristo cratic admirers of chartered rights and exclusive privileges. We believe in the system and will defend it.” —Standard of Union. We notice the above assertion only to expose the falsehood therein contained. — The free Banking system is not now, nor has it ever been, opposed by the Whig par ty. One or two of the Whig papers in the cities have spoken disparagingly of it, from motives with which party politics had nothing to do, just as the members in the legislature of 1839,fr0m commercial points, opposed it without regard to party. We repeat—-the assertion that the Whig* a? a party are enemies to the free Banking sys. tern contains not a particle of truth. Who introduced into the Legislature, the hill to authorize free Banking ! A Whig, as the Standard very well knows. It was supported by Whig advocates, and it was finally enucled by Whig votes. Let the Editor of the Standard examine the Journ als, lie will find that a very large majority of the Whig party in the Legislature, voted in favor of the bill, while of those voting against it, nearly two-thirds were Loco focos!! We did not at the time of its enactment, nor do we now, consider it to have been a strict party measure. It had its supporters and opponents among both parties, but of the former, the most able, active and nu merous were Whigs, while its Loco foco advocates were luke-warm at best, con sisting of a few among them who were a shamedsoto violate all their professions of democracy, as to oppose a measure calcu lated to give an equal right to all. It shows therefore, the most brazen effrontery in tho organs of Locofocoism,to claim any superior merit for their support of the measure, after the representatives of that party had given the highest evidence of their opposition to it, by recording their votes against it. We, so far as lay in our power, have al ways advocated the system from the very first, and we have seen no reason to change our ojrinion of it. It ensures safety, and a facility of collection to the hill-holder, greater than hanking systems; it grants no monopoly, giving to every one the liberty to carry on the business ot bank ing, who can guaranty the community a gainst loss. It may not all'oru so much ad vantage to the hanker as the chartered Banks, hut it does far better, in that its cre ditor will not lose so long as men set value upon broad and fertile acres. Neither does it tend to tiro multiplication of hanks, for during the time the system has been in ope ration, but one bank has gone into opera tion under it. That one, the Ruckersville Bank, lias supported itself wonderfully well in these trying times. Though tho pressure for specie, lias compelled it to resort, in one or two instances, to the privilege that the law allows it, viz.: to delay payment for sixty days—yet has the sterling gold always come forth in due time. Its bills have been eagerly sought for on that account, and it lias had to encounter difficulties greater than other Banks who have had a less ex tensive circulation, or who have protected themselves by a violation of the express law of the land. “ The set oi countryelod hoppers,’ as the Standard elegantly terms them, who manage and are interested in it, are men oftho highest respectability and honesty, whose characters alone would ho a sufficient guarantee to community, even if their property were not pledged for the prudent management of its concerns.— They are, too, men of more discernment than the Standard gives them credit for, fully able to comprehend the very disinter ested and sudden zeal of the Loco locos for their welfare. They are not men, who, for a slight cause, unconnected with political considerations, will desert the principles they have so long been contending for. You “ believe in the system,” Mr. Stan dard, so do we ! You “ will defend it,” so will we ! for once, we shall be found com batting side by side with you, however much we may be ashamed to be found in such company. You may “compass hea ven and earth to gain one proselyte,” hut the vote of old republican Elbert, in Octo ber, will show you but a very pitiful com pensation for your labors. The [Ton. P. K.

The matter was referred to a Committee, who unanimously refused to re port, and desired the papers referred to them to be returned to the persons presenting them. Upon this question, a lengthy and animated debate arose, in which Messrs. Steel, Slauss, Drs. MeCartee, Neil, Jane way, and others, took a part. The whole subject was indefinitely postponed. — South ern Chronicle. Bachelors looking up. —The Rochester (N. Y.)

Up to yesterday (Sunday) afternoon, no | tidings of the steamship President, Lieut. | Roberts, R. N. commander, had been re- j ceived by the British and American Steam j Navigation Company, at their office in Bil- j liter-square, Billiter-street. The following reports have been receiv- ! cd : “Cove of Coiik, May 12. “ The Columbia Packet, Capt. Garrett, from Monte Video, which place she left on the 27 tli of January, for Antwerp, lias ecme in here, and Capt. Garrett reports that 10 days since (2d instant,) in lon. 18, he saw at some distance a large steamer, bound for the eastward, and which appeared to him to he disabled, as she was going very slow- j ly, and could Hardly keep way with his j vessel. As night came on he lost sight of j her, and two days afterwards experienced j v. heavy gale to the eastward. The appa- j rcntly disabled ship was so far from him j that he cannot describe her appearance further than she was a steamer.” j Capt. Garrett had not heard that the Pio sident was missing until asked by the gen | tleman (George Wright, Esq.) surveyor to j Lloyd’s, who was good enough to favor us with these particulars. LOSS OF THE WILLIAM BROWN. Havre, May 10. Dreadful Shipwreck. —The Louis Phil lippe, New York packet ship, has this mo ment arrived. Information having readied the town that some shipwrecked seamen were on board, the report became general that they belonged to the President, and the excitement was beyond all description.— On the arrival in dock, however, a strong ] body of the gendarmerie were in waiting,: and immediately took into custody the mate | and eight of her crew of the ship William I Brown, bound from Liverpool to Philadel phia, which was sunk by an iceberg in the latter part of last month. It appears, when the vessel struck, thirty-three passengers, the mate and eight of the crew took to the long boat; the captain, three of the crew and eleven passengers, took to the jolly-boat, all the rest sunk with the vessel. The boats parted in the night. Some days af ter, the mate and the crew determined (as they say.) in order to lighten the boat to throw seventeen of the passengers over board, which they accomplished, and some of the most horrid and revolting scenes took place. Some clung to the side of the boat, praying for mercy ; but their hands were cutoff, and they were pushed into the deep. Fifteen ladies and two men remained in the boat. One hour after this massacre, the Crescent fell in with the boat, and saved the survivors of this horrid deed. The passen gers remained on board the Crescent; the crew arrived in the Vi 11 e de Lyon ; they are under examination before the Ameri can consul. The result I will not fail to communicate to you ; but you may rely on what I have already stated. The jolly boat has not yet been heard of. The dates of the Ville de Lyon have been anticipated by the Acadia. —Morning Post. A Ferocious Fcl/otv. —A commission was I recently taken out of the Niagara Circuit to j examine certain witnesses in Canada, to prove that McLeod was not one of the par ty that destroyed the Caroline. The Hon. Mr. Elmsley, one of the witnesses, refused to testify, declaring that “the only way in which he can consent to aid McLeod, is in assisting to give such a thundering rap at the door of the dungeon where he lies in i carcerated, as will at once convince the re publicans that the demand for the liber ation of a British subject, unjustly detained in prison, comes from the British nation.” The spirit that Mr. Elmsley shows would become a hero of the largest magnitude ; but still he should remember that the bet ter part of valor is discretion. Ilis testimo ny may quietly open the doors ot McLeod’s prison and save the necessity of any super human effort in battering them down. He should rem-’mberthe deplorable effects that would follow the explosion of *u temper r ‘ perfectly Paixhun as his own, and in a sp;r it of humanity immediately uncork his thunder, and allow its distinctive elements harmlessly to escape. The accumulation of such wrath is exceedingly dangerous.—* Ledger.

This truth is making its way.— Channing. Incombustible Clothing. —A London Jour rial says that a solution of phosphoric acid basilic power of rendering linen, muslin, &c., incombustible. This has been fully demonstrated at the Royal Institution on a late occasion, to the satisfaction of a nu merous audience. It is of importance that this fact should he made generally known.— Phosphoric acid may beobtained by burning a piece of phosphorus in a bottle, in which it will be collected in tho form of a white powder which readily soluble in water. Republican Hatred of a Dictator. —ln 177fi, Patrick Henry waselected Governor of Virginia, and in the fall of that year it was proposed to make him dictator. The project was crushed by Colonel Cary, the Speaker of the Senate, who thus accosted Henry’s step-brother, Colonel Syme, in the lobby of the House. “I urn told that your brother wishes to he dictator: tell him from me, that tire day of iiis appointment shall be the day of his death, for he shall feel rnv dagger in his heart before the sunset of that day.” There is no proof of his implication in tho scheme,which was suggested merely by the temporary had aspect of affairs.— (fiarter/y Review. Ocular Demonstration. — A person who religiously adhered to the old opinion, that the sun went round the earth, was opposed by a bon vivant, who observed that when his cook roasted a partridge, the bird turned round on the spit, and not the fire round the bird. His conclusion being still ques tioned, he observed, “ but you’ll not deny the old adage, in vino veritas /”— “No,” said the other. “Why then,” rejoined the bon vivant, “I have ocular demonstration on my side ; for when I have drank plenty of wine, I can see the eartli turn round.” Polite. —“ Madam,” said a druggist the ot Her day to a lady who was examining some Cologne, “ I assure you it is an excel lent article, and if you will condescend to approximate the extreme extension of your proboscis to the unclosed orifice of the bot tle, you will perceive tho truth of my as sertion.” HI A It H I E D , In the Village of Lincolnton, on Tuesday ev> 1 nirur Ist of June, by the Itov.John W.
