I Another project for a fiscal agent was I presented to-day by Mr. Adams. ‘ It is the I plan of Mr. Alexander Hamilton, of Now for an exchequer of issues, w ith a of fifty millions, two fifths to beta- H;e., by the Government. It was referred Hjothe select committee on the currency. Some petitions for and against a national ■panic were presented and referred ; also ■many petitions fora general bankrupt law. I The discussion of the bill for distributing ■ the proceeds of the sales of the public lands ■ was continued in Committee of the Whole. I Mr. W. Cost Johnson concluded his intro- I ductory remarks in support of the bill.— I “He contended that the lands were the prop- I erty of the State for whose benefit they were | ceded or acquired ; that the States now needed, and ought to have the revenue ari sing from them ; that the general govern ment could do without it, and would bene fit the tobacco interest and grain growing interest of the Union by imposing duties on foreign luxuries. Mr. Clifford, of Maine, who opposed the bill, contended on the other hand, that the revenue for some time to come, including that from the lands, would bo but barely •adequate to the wants of an economical administration ; that the proposition of ma king up the loss of the revenue from the lands by duties ou luxuries, was delusive ; that the duty of twenty per cent, on wines and silks would not amount to half the sum proposed to ho abstracted from the revenue; but that, it this hill passed, the deficiency must be made up in one of three ways, viz: by a duty of twenty percent, ad valorem on thd necessaries of life—such as tea cof -•• e, sugar, molasses, suit, Ac. which propo - tion was now before the Committee of Ways and Means; by a permanent and annually increasing national debt ; or by a resort to a high protective tariff. He al so disputed the constitutionality of the hill as it was an absolute grant of money in the treasury totho Btates, not the payment of a debt. The lands were indebted to the gov ernment some ten millions over and above ail the sums that had been received from them. He denied its expediency, too, in asmuch as it would not benefit the States— taking from them in taxes more than it gave them. The debate v. ili be continued to-day.— The House is already weary of it. The two speeches have presented all the argu ments pro and contra, and it is to be hoped the House will act upon it speedily. ‘File Senate was engaged in maturing the details of the bank bill. Mr. Clay of fered a number of amendments, which were discussed and disposed of. lie moved to strike out that part of the 18th section w hich restricts the bank from discounting when its circulation shall exceed three tunes the amount of the specie in its vaults. He thought the restriction useless. But Mr. Walker, Mr. Buchannan and Mr. Woodbury opposed the motion on the ground that it would tempt the bank to ex pand the currency too much, and the mo tion was modified so as to leave the section pretty much as it was. Mr. Clay will offer oilier amendments to-day. The weather has been excessively hot again. Washington, July 2. The proccrdings of the Senate, yester day, were full of interest. Mr. Rives brought forward his amendment totho Fis cal Bank bill, in the words ofthe Treasury project requiring the assent of the States to the establishment of branches. lie sup ported the motion in a very earnest and eloquent speech, advocating it as a com promise between those who wishing for a bank, had constitutional scruples as to the power of Congress on the subject, and those who had no such scruples. The amend ment neither asserted nor denied the pow er to establish branches, without the as sent of the States. If left the disputed ground untouched, and, in practical effect could produce no injury. He still prefer red the State Bond system himself, but as there was no chance for that, he would, for the sake of peace, for the sake of giving shelter and repose to the interests of the country, embrace the plan which the ad ministration, upon its responsibility and af ter mature deliberation, had given us. Mr. Clay opposed the amendment in the most decided manner, denouncing it as mis chievous and unnecessary, aud as a sacri fice of an important settled question to pre judice which he believed to be confined to a small and decreasing party in Virginia, lie did not believe the President had indica ted any opposition to the bill before the Senate. The Senate must prepare its measures without reference to any opinion lhat the President might be disposed to en tertain ; and, if there should he a differ ence between the legislative and the execu tive branch upon the bill, we must then de vise some new expedient. Mr. Preston spoke, at length, in support ofthe amendment of Mr. Rives. Mr. Merrick will probably speak on the same side to-day. Several other Senators of the whig side will vote for Mr. [lives’ amendment.— With the aid of the loco-foco Senators the amendments must prevail. The hill can not pass in the form proposed by Mr. Clay. The journals of the Opposition have ta ken frequent occasion of lata to exult at what they have been pleased to term the ‘dissensions’’ among the Whigs. The Na tional Intelligencer of yesterday, with a view to undeceive any who may have indul ged iu the idea of a division in the ranks of the Whigs, assures them “when the time for action arrives—that is, when measures have been discussed and matured—that a sufficient majority ofthe Whigs will be true to the principles which they have been e- Iccted to carry out.” ‘Fite Intelligencer goes on to say : “ We speak with confidence when we express our conviction that nothing could give more pain to the President than the supposition that any political fiicnd of his would impute to him any movement or any sentiment lending to sow distrust amongst the Whigs against each other, and, above all to [dace him under the suspicion of fa voring a party in Congress distinct from the great body ofthe Whigs.” it may be that the freedom which has characterised the Whig press in approv ing or dissenting from particular features in various proposed measures of public pol icy, has been one cause of the opinion en tertained by our opponents respecting divis ions in the party, [f in their view it is necessary to the organization of a party that every measure proposed by its leaders must bo sustained without amendment or change, and without regard to the policy and justice of the measure itself—if every dictate from head quarters is to bo blindly obeyed without question or hesitation—we can only say that such an idea of party or ganization is in ill keeping with our notions of republican freedom. There is an en larged spirit characteristic of men who deal with principles—a liberal spirit, which trusting to the power of reason and of truth is not disposed to puttyranioal restrictions upon the thoughts or expressions of any, nor to vi.-dt with jealous vindictiveness a want of minute conformity in every partic ular. This spirit may dwell in politics, as well as in other spheres of life, and we hope that it IfovaysVill remain, to distin guish the Constitutional Party ofthe Union from all other parties or factions.—Balti more Patriot. DEATH OF GEN. MACOMB! We regret to announce the death of Ma jor General Alexander Macomb, the Gcn’l. in Chief of the United States Army which occurred at half past tAvoo’cloek vt sterdav. His funeral will take place on Monday next at 10 o’clock A. M. Gen. Macomb entered the services as a cornet of dragoons in 1709, an 1 was in the military family of General Alexander Hamilton; he commanded at the success ful battle of Plattsburg during the war of 1812; received a gold medal i’/om Congress for his gallantry, and was appointed, by President J. (j. Adams, Command ng Gen eral of the army of the Unit.,l Ftatcs, in place of Gen. Brown, immediately after his decease, which took place in February 1838. Since that period, (in. Mac mb has discharged the duties of his office in l his city, excepting occasion; I absonc •to the frontiers of the Union in obedience to the calls ofthe service.— M.i Usouian. The following, told by the Cone rd Free man, is probably r.r true now as it ever was ; and it is too good a story to be lost, at any rate : Some years ago a bill was reported in; the New Y ork [louse of Assembly entitled “ An Act for the preservation of the Heath ITen and other Game.” The Speaker of the House who wa probably not much ofa sportsman, gravely read it*—“An Act for the preservation ofthe Heathen and othe*r Game, a blunder of which he was uncon scious until an honest member from the North who had suffered considerably by the depredations of the frontier Indians, moved an amendment by adding the words—“ ex cept Indians.” After the mistake of the Speaker was corrected, the amendment of course became unnecessary and was with drawn. The New York correspondent of the Madisonian, under date of June 16, says : The Custom House investigation goes on gloriously, but will not probably be con cluded for a fortnight yet. At least two Penitentiaries full of double-refined rascal ity will be disclosed, and there is great hope that it can be brought home to its real authors. If'so, it will be rich indeed.— Our importing merchants are in high glee about it. THE MORMONS. The New Y’ork Journal of Commeoce lias received a letter from a gentleman re siding near Nauvoo, giving an account of an excitement which exists against the Mor mons and the arrest of Jo Smith, from which it appears that the scenes enacted in Misouri, are in danger of being repeated in lowa. The feeling against them arose, it seems from their having taken possession of a tract of land, about 120,000 acres which had been purchased from the Indians by the whites, and were about toTbe divided among the lawful claimants by partition. The Mormons took possession, it is said, claim ing a title direct from the Creator. In ad dition to despoiling the lands of much val uable timber, they now forbid the Commis sioners and Surveyors, on pain of death, to attempt a survey and partition. Joe Smith was arrested by the authorities of Illinois on a requisition from the Governor of Mis souri. Martin Harris who was one of the witnesses to the book of Mormon, and who has been for some time lecturing in 111 i noise against the Mormons, was found dead having been shot though the head. The Quincy (111.) Whig, confirms the account ol the arrest of Joe Smith, the Mormon prophet, under a writ issued by Governor Carlin, in compliance with a demand made two years ago, by Governor Boggs, on the all edge charged of treason against the State of Missouri. Smith applied to Judge Dou glass fora habeas corpus, which was gran ted, and is not yet disposed of. THE OLDEST REPUBLIC ON EARTH. The American Quarterly Review con tains a letter from G. W. Erving, Esq., giving a sketch of bis visit to San Marino, a small republic in Italy, between the Ap pennines, the Po, and the Adriatic. The territory of the state is only 40 miles in circumference, anil its population about 7000. The republic was founded more than 1400 years ago, on moral principles, industry and equality, and has preserved its liberty and independence amidst all the wars and discords which have raged around if. Bonaparte respected it, and sent an embassy to express his sentiments of friend ship and fraternity. It is governed by a Captain Regent, chosen every six months by the representatives of the people, 66 in number, who arc chosen every six months by the people. ‘Flic taxes are light, the farm houses are neat, the fields well cultivated, and on all sides arc seen comfort and peace, the hap py effects of morality, simplicity, liberty, and justice. Mr. Erving was received by some intelligent citizens in the most hospi table and affectionate manner ; they were delighted with him because he was an A mcriean. They professed a profound at tachment to our country, and looked to it as the preserver of their own pure principles; they were intimately acquainted with our institutions and affairs, and had a library well furnished with books and pamphlets relating to America. AN IRON HOUSE. A gentleman of Brussels has constructed an iron house, which is said to answer the objects intended in a .satisfactory manner: The walls are hollow, and the hotair cir culates from a central point in the kitchen through the intervals its the walls, and by Means of valves the quantity to be admit ted may he regulated. A house consist ing of 17 rooms will cost £1,165, while a house of the same size in brick would cost £1,157. The rooms are arranged on three floors. The whole weight is 707.! tons, nvoii lupois, (810.000 kilogrammes.) The advantage of this structure ofhouse is rep resented to be its permanent nature and the facility with which it may be moved.— The expense of carrying it from Brussels to’Leige, to Ghent, or to Antwerp; would be about £25. This is a subject well worthy the atten tion ofthe friends of home manufactures in Pensylvania. It appears to us that the real uses of iron are not adequately appre ciated by the great mass ofthe community. Also that those immediately and deeply interested, have not exerted themselves in an adequate manner, or with a view to the more general adaption of this invaluable metal to the many objects to which it may be applied. The iron masters of Virginia are we perceive, about to hold a conven tion with reference to their peculiar busi ness and interests. Pensylvania should send a delegation to that Convention, in or der that something like a mutual under standing might exist, and proper coopera tion be determined upon. The iron trade of this country is yet in its infancy. — Phil adelphia Inquirer. YANKEE CLOCKS. It happens very seldom that a full blood ed Yankee—a lineal discendant of the pil grim fathers, is found breaking the laws of his country. But then they do have such queer ways of getting around them. The sapient lawyers of Missouri have placed se vere restrictions on the selling of Y ankee clocks, so severe indeed, as to almost a mount to a prohibition. The Y’atikecs, of course, ceased to sell them when the trade became unprofitable, and they were too conscientious to break the laws. But they have found out anew mode of getting rid ofthe surplus products of their industry.— We have among us two admirable speci mens of the Yankee nation who are leasing clocks for ninety nine years. They say that their clocks “are going oft’ like hot cakes.” —Hannibal Journal. Mr. Hill, the well known delineator of Y’ankee characters, has been lecturing jn Boston on the manners, customs, Ac., of New-England. In one of his discourses, he thus humourously alludes to Jonathan's capability of turning his talents to account in all situations : “ If you place him on a rock in the midst of the ocean, with a penknife and a bundle of shingles, he would manage to work his way on shore. Ho sells salmon from Ken nebec to the people of Charleston ; had dock, “ fresh from Cape Cod,” to the plan ter of Matanzas ; raises coffee in Cuba ; swaps mules and horses for molasses in Porto Rico; retails ice from Fresh Pond, in Cambridge, to the East Indies ; mutton from Brighton, at New Orleans and South America; manufactures Monts Multicau lis for the governor of Jamaica; becomes an admiral in foreign nations; starts in a cockle-shell craft of 15 tons, loaded with onions, mackarel, and notions (too numer ous to mention.) for Valparaiso; baits ids traps on the Columbia river ; catches wild beasts in Africa for Mucomber A Go’s car avan ; sells granite on contract to rc-build San Juan do Ulloa ; is ready, like Led vard, to start for Timbuctoo “to-morrow morning ;” exiles himself for years from his home, to sketch in their own wilderness the “ wild men ofthe woods,” and astonish es refined Europe with the seeming pres ence of the untutored savage ; introduced to Metternich, he asks him, “ what’s the news ?” ; says “ how do you do, inarm ?” to Victoria ; and prescribes Thompson’s eyewater to the Mandarins of China !” SELECTED ITEMS. • The Ex-Honorable, C. F. Mitch 11, has had two hills (bun ! against him, at the Ses sions of Ncw-York eiiv for forgery; one was found by a former Grand Jury. There are now three indictments against him for forgery, and another complaint pending be sides, which will probably bo laid b fore the next Grand Jury. A reward of $2,001) is offered for the ap prehension of Garland Sneed, Peter Sneed, George .1. Hunt, and Peter Grimsley, who committed a murder upon the body of Bra die M. Brown, of Kemper county, Missis sippi, on the 14th of February last. One John Henry lloupt, a Virginian, and probably an “ impracticable,” attempted to take possession of the White House in Washington, claiming to be the rightful President of the l nited States. lie was so violent in the assertion of his fancied rights, that it became necessary to commit him to the custody ofthe Police. He asserts that he has an army ready to support his pre tensions. He is supposed to be some ma niac, escaped from the keepers. A Nut for Botanists. —lt is related in a late foreign paper, that a German botanist, who some time ago accompanied the Eng lish Colony totho Swan River, discovered there a plant, the flowers of which, warm ed by the rays of the sun, gave out at in tervals, a smoke-similar to that exhaled by persons who smoke tobacco. The learned traveller was at first very much alarmed when be saw the smoking flower, and thought he had fallen into an ambuscade of savagi s. Who's to Succeed ? —Gen. Gaines and (Jon. Scott’s commissions both bear date the same day, and one or the other will, proba bly, bo appointed by the President com mander in chief ofthe U. S. Army, to sup ply the vacancy occasioned by Gen. Ma comb’s death. There is a question raised already as to which is entitled to the com mand. Freshed in James’ River. —On the 21st ult. a very heavy rain occurred at Lynch burg, Va., which raised the waters to a ve ry great height. At least SIO,OOO damage : was done to the canal. The large tobacco | factory of Mr. Elisha Keen, in Lynchburg, j was entirely swept from its foundation. A Forger. —Messrs. Antwerp A Frank, j of Columbia, S. C., offer a reward of three hundred dollars for the apprehension of “a notorious swindler and forger” calling himself William Crone, who sold to them a forged draft on Boyd Hincken, of New- Y'ork, purporting to have been drawn by S. T. Hess & Cos. lie is a German by birth. The _N uw-Y’ork Correspondent ofthe Ma disonian. says : “Mr. Stephens’s new 1 Incidents of Trav els in Central America, and Researches amid the Ruins of Palenque and other Lost Cities.’ sells as fast as it can be got out of the hands of the binders. It has been out three days, and 2,000 conies have been ta ken in our city alone. Orders from a dis tance have to wait.” False Coin.— lt is said that at least one eighth of the five and ten cent pieces in cir culation are counterfeits. The spurious coin is without the thirteen stars. A Stale Protested. —The Mississippian ! states that Gov. McNutt has received offi cial information that the State has been protested for interest due on a portion ofthe bank bonds. Production and Money --The value of the annual agricultural product of the Uni ted States, fairly estimated, isseven hundred millions of dollars 1 The whole amount of bank debts is about five hundred millions of dollars; and the whole amount of paper money circulation, is about one hundred millions. Money Recovered. —The Baltimore Sun states that nearly the whole ofthe amount of the money stolen from the Frederic County Bank, has been recovered. The rogue who was in New York, agree to give up all ex cept SIO,OOO. The matter was arranged through an attorney in New York and the officers ofthe Bank. An exchange says “we laid before our readers last week a nasty sketch ofthe pro ceedings of Congress.” The editor un doubtedly meant to say hasty sketch, but his types evidently knew the propriety of names better than he did. Counterfeiting. —The lovers of gold are beginning to find out that “ all is not gold that glitters”—in other words, that Col. Benton’s coin can he counterfeited quite as readily as Bank notes. Avery large a mount of spurious gold coin has been put in circulation in the upper part ofthe State of Missouri. We notice a statement in a Lib erty (Clay county) paper, ofa case in which a citizen of Clinton county sold a horse for seventy-five dollars, and received his pay in half eagles, not one of which was genu ine ! From the Southern Planter. CORN COBS FOR CATTLE. C. T. Botts —My Dear Sir pleased with your recommendation of cob meal in the last number ofthe Planter. I am perfectly satisfied ofthe value of it.— Having understood that Col. Burfoot, of Chesterfield, never wasted a cob, but con sidered it capital feed, I took some pains to discover bis mode of using them. It is as follows : Whenever he shells corn for mill the cobs are thrown into a half hogshead of salt and water, to which his cows have ac cess. By the time lie sends to mill again, there is plenty of room for more cobs. I have tried this plan with great success,— l The cobs are hardly soaked by the salt wa iter, bofore they are eagerly devoured by Imy cattle. I would as soon think of throw- I ing away my fodder as my corn cobs. Yours, A. B. S. Wo have understood, upon inquiry, that Col. Burfoot now boils his cobs, instead of | soaking them. He breaks them with an I axe, and throws them into his ti ed kettle, j and we are assured that their is no portion : ofits contents that ate preferred to these bits ofcorn cob. These plans are no doubt bath good ; much better than throwing away an article that contains so much nutriment; but, where it could be done conveniently, we should greatly prefer to relieve the animal from the labor and trouble, which he fre quently only half performs, of grinding the cob, Besides, when ground, it is food for either horse or cattle. If its nulrious qualities are admitted, there is surely as much reason in grinding the cob as in grin ding the grain. From the N. Y. Commerciel Advertiser. RASCALITY WITHOUT A PARAL LEL. While in YVashington ten days ago, the following statement from the Louisville Journal was put into our hands. Notwith standing all the known and unknown in stances of official corruption under the late Administration, we could scarcely credit a tale of such unfdusliing viilanv, and we straightway applied to the genera! Post of fice for information. We were there in formed that it was true to the letter : “ When Mr. Barry was Postmaster-gen eral, a committee was appointed by the U. States Senate to investigate the affairs of j the Post Office Department. The investi j gation resulted in the very able report made by Mr. Ewing, in which divers extra al | lowances, and other corruption, were duly J made known totho people ofthe country. To parry the e ffects of that startling” re port Mr. Barry, itrnay be remembered, pub lished a pamphlet, a vindication, so called, of his conduct. This pamphlet was of course an individual, and not an official document. Nevertheless, ho agreed to pay to the editors ofthe Globe, Messrs, Blair & Rives, $1,569 for printing it, and charged j the amount to the Government l When Amos Kendall succeeded Mr. Bar- ! rv, as Postmaster General, he glanced o- I ver the books of the department and saw this item of $1,500. Afraid that another investigation would soon take [dace, and that this extraordinary item would thus he brought to light, he made Blair and Rives refund the money ; at least he entered it as refunded on the books. Thus the matter I remained till the 3d of March 184!, the j very last day of Mr. Van Ruren’s Admin istration, when Mr. Niles, the successor of Kendall as Postmaster General, paid back the 1500 to Blair A Rives, and an entry was actually made in the books to that ef fect !” The statement, wo repeat, is true, and : ] the facts doubtless constitute a fair speci-I j men ofthe conduct of the Post office De- j j partment during the twelve years antece- ] dent to the 4th of March last. Bevond ail 1 doubt that department has, during that-pe j riod, been one of foulest dense of corruption | that ever existed in a civilized nation.—— \ From another but well advised source we were informed that being out of funds, Niles drew upon a Pensylvania postmaster in favor of Blair for the amount. The lat ter was in great haste to oftain the amount before Mr. Granger got into power, and | proposed sending an express to Pensylva ! ilia for the money, to prevent the possibil ity of defeat. Let there be a. resolution of enqury in the House of Representatives. To the B “ottrs of Mt’ovgin F’ YpELLO\V-Ci i I /.I!.\tv ~ V e've a very inge nious sort of a brother Farmer over yonder in Eibert county ; and iast week, lie wrote “a good j piece for the News & Gazette.
