SHIRTING, j wide. They offer this article to
the friends of Southern enterprise and industry
as cheap, or cheaper than it can be obtained from
the North, while it is in every respect much su
perior. It is remarkable tor the evenness and
soundness ofthe thread, and for the compactness
of the cloth. Specimens may be seen at Rich

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence or the Times.
No. 80.
Washington City. March 12, 1848.
During the past week, the Senate did nothing
of interest or importance in open session. The
discussion of the Treaty finally ratified, as you
know, on Friday night, occupied all its time. On
Saturday the members took holyday, which is to
extend until Tuesday morning next.
On Monday morning last, the Committee to
escort the remains of Mr. Adams to Quincy, left
Washington with its charge. The Chairman
drew for a cool six thousand, it is said, before
starting. I trust that this Committee may not do
its share towards introducing here what is said
to be the Irish custom of burying the dead—(sub
stituting Champagne for Potheen.) ‘
On that day, the House passed a bill from the
Committee on the Judiciary, for the “ relief of
the Justices of the Supreme Court.” This au
thorizes them to waive their Circuit Courts for a
year, or it may be longer. They are to remain
in session ift Washington in the meanwhile, to
enable them to dispose of the heavy mass of ca
ses on the Supreme Court docket. This was op
posed by many Democrats, on the ground that it
sets a precedent for such indulgence in future,
the tendency of which is to create an exclusive
and perpetual Court of Appeal here, which is
against the spirit of the law reforms that have
been effected in many of the States, and also
contrary to the very spirit of our institutions.
* On that day, resolutions brought forward by
Cooke, of Tennessee, were passed, which, in
effect, directed the Committee on Military Af
fairs to inquire which of our general Officers de
serve thanks, medals, &c. This, ycu will un
derstand, is a blow aimed at Pillow, Twiggs,
Persifor Smith, and the other Democratic Gene
erals; but more especially at the first named,who
will, in time, become a troublessme customer
to Federalism in Tennessee, they fear. The
public mind of Washington is prepared to find
the majority of the Committee bringing in any
report likely to strengthen Federalism. The
fear that the minority in its report will expose
the demagogueish and partizan character of s
sweeping condemnation of Democratic offices,
’ may, however,restrain the Federal majority ofths
Committee.
On Tuesday the House was in Committee on
what is termed “the Deficiency Bill,” which pro
posed to create four new charge ships. As it
was being amended no set speech was made up
on it on that day. Os the day’s proceedings and
of Wednesday’s, when C. J. Ingersoll, Dickey,-
Levin, and Charles Brown addressed the House
on the propriety of passing the bill, with the ap

ting this mission, while the Democrats advocated
the policy. All four are from Pennsylvania.
On Thursday, we had in the House, first, re
ports from Committees, after which a Whig
member from Pennsylvania made a violently abu

Committee on an important bill. I did uot hear

Most of Friday’s session of the House was
devoted to the consideration of private bills.— *
On that afternoon, however, an hour or two be
fore the House adjourned, Gen. Haralson, of Ga.,
and G. W. Jones, of Tennessee, two of the most
orderly, mild, and modest men of the body, un
fortunately had a misunderstanding while sitting
at their seats, which resulted in the passage ol
blows between them, in the presence of the
House. Os course great commotion ensued, and
on the interference of mutual friends the whole
matter was explained to their satisfaction and
that of the House. They made friends again,
shook hands and tendered to the House the usual
apologies. Nothing has occurred for a long time
in the Hall, to give me so much pain. It proves
that ths most modest and gentlemanly members,
and both are of this number, will, at times, get
off their guard in the Hall.
We are rarely or never without exciting ru
mors afloat in Washington. Queer ones they are,
too, at times. For instance, it was, a day or two
since, positively averred by the quid nuncs, that
the War Department had received a despatch
from the Commander-in-Chief, announcing that
by virtue of his authority, as the Supreme Com
mander in the field, he had clapped Gen. Towson
and the rest of the Court of Inquiry in irons, in
stead of obeying the order to submit his conduct
to their examination 1 A* ridiculous as this story
is, it found not a few firm believers among Fed
eral wonder-mongers. * The General-in-Chief,
good man, is a strange one, He cuts
“ high didoes” at times, as will be apparent in
the correspondence lately transcribed at the War
Department, to be sent in by order of one or the
other Houses of Congress. But he is far too
well informed in military affairs to be guilty of
any such piece of insubordination. Believing the
roor-back, hundreds of Federal quid nuncs have
spent hour after hour in hunting up or framing
excuses to justify such conduct.
The promulgation of the correspondence re
ferred to above, will prove a well-deserved pun
ishment to the Whig party in Congress, for its
eagerness in making “calls,” only with the view
of embarrassing the Administration in the pros
ecution of the war.
On the adjournment of the Senate on Wednes
day night, it appeared to be well understood
that the Treaty would be ratified at an early hour
on Thursday. Thursday came, and the Senate
met, only however, to make apparent the fact
that the ratification was in far more danger than
had existed since the treaty was 6e.pt in. In the
session of that day, I have reason to surmise,
unexpected combinations were found to exist,
which, indeed,only exhibited themselves as the
hour for taking the question dre v quite near as
it were. More Whig* besides Mr. Webster and
his acknowledged stump of a tail-political other
anti-Clay or Taylor Whigs gave out. signs that
they deemed it of importance to the General’s
political prospects to thus, if possible, prolong
the war. I fear also these were unmistakeable
evidences that all the Democrats were not too
shrewd and firm to allow themselves to be used
to further this no-party Federal scheme, I know
nothing of the particulars of the Senatorial oc
currences of that day, but saw sufficient in the
eyes of the knowing ones to feel assured that
in Executive Session there had really been the
“ to pay.”
Eves since the existence of our Congress—
that is, since the adoption of the Constitution—
the Senate has been the most scheming place on
the face of our North American earth ; but nev
er until this treaty was taken up, was the wiring
and twisting capacity of its members made as
NUMBER 14.
apparent as in the recent scheming of the obsti
nate wing of federalism.
The proposition to create the Chargeships to
Rome, came well nigh being defeated on Tues
day last. Mr. Levin, who led the Whigs on that
occasion, is as pertinacious as cunning. He la
bored with almost unexampled zeal to induce
the whole Whig party to respond by their votes
to his denunciations of Rome, the Pope, Catho
licy, &c. However, common sense came to the
rescue of Hilliard and a few more Whigs, vho
bolted Nativeism—deserting Mr. L. and the mass
of their political friends. So the proposition
triumphed in Committee. This nominal “ Defi
ciency Bill,” of which itis a section, establishes
four new Charge-ships to Rome, Guatamala, Bo”
livia, and Ecuador.
The existence of a necessity for these missions
affords unmistakeable evidence of the rapid
growth of our Foreign Commerce, whichjeannot
fail to gratify all desiring to see our country
soon advanced into its legitimate position as the
first commercial nation of the earth.
The tone of Mr. Levins recent harangues in the
House against the Catholics,though itis presumed
to have given infinite satisfaction to the mass ofthe
Whig party rallying under his banneragainst the
mission to Rome, was too much after the fashion
of his appeals in Southwark, (which were follow
ed by the burning of St. Augustine’s Church,) to
gratify members, other than these so eaten up
with the spirit of Native Americanism, as to act
with him on this occasion. He is the first man
who has essayed to lug religion into the Hall
as a topic for Congressional disputation. Inde
pendent ofthe rebuke administered by the House
in the defeat of his persecuting and demagogue
.motion to strike out; MftCla-y, of New York, in
exposing his mendaoiou* effort to palm, what
were, in fast, false quotations on the Houso to
substantiate his statements against the Pope and
lour Catholic fellow-citizens, and the castigation
administered to him on Wednesday,.by Charles
Brown, of Pa., hare reduced hitfi to his proper
position in the House. It is a great place, by
the by, for showing up demagogues who are so
silly as to essay upon the representations, slang
and misrepresentation which, at times passes un
exposed when shouted from the slump.
Charles*Brown, who had the “dressing of him
off” to perform, is evidently one of the most
powerful debaters now in Congress, and knowing
his man from root tip branch, he did the thing in
capital style. Levin will never again boast of
having “ jumped on the cannon and dispersed
that mob.”
Mr. Webster’s friends and the Tylerites ap
pear cut to death by Clay’s enthusiastie reception
in New York city. They evidently dread least
his rumored intention to proceed as far North
as Boston, may spoil their cunningly arranged
scheme, to transfer New England Federalism to
the raw “ ebony and topaz” combination.
Their failure to so amend the treaty as to force
a majority of the Democratic Senators to rote
no on the question of final ratification has done
much to disconcert their measures, and what
Clay cannot do in the course of this journey, un
dertaken to head them, Botts will surely under
take. He has written a sharp and telling letter,
to let the well-filled sails, with which they are
making the pirate cruize on. the South. This
will be in print in a day or two, you may rely on
it. The Clay Wbigado not hesitate to connect
the closely observed scheme of Webster & Cos.,
to defeat the ratification ofthe Treaty, with W.’s
attempt in Tyler times to prostrate Clay and
Whiggery,that he might earn a better chance to
inherit the Presidency from John of the exten
sive nose.
Fourteen rather than fifteen (as published) Sen
ators voted aga inst the ratification on the final
question. They were equally divided as to par
ty. Upham, Badger, Hale, Westcott, Berrien,
Baldwin, Alley, Douglass, Lewis, Sprague, Ben
ton, Atchison and Breese.
The injunction of secrecy not being taken off
the proceedings, I cannot write you with cer
tainty concerning the details of the amendments
enacted. I may, however, safely assure you
that the guarantee ol Mexican disputed titles to
lands in Texas, is no longer there ; nor is there
any thing in the treaty as returned to Mexico to
give any religious denomination preference over
another, so far ns protection from the Govern
ment or unequal discrimination in its favor is
concerned. The indemnity clause as amended,
too, will, in a great measure, leave in our hands
the security for the ftdthful observation of the
treaty by Mexico. It is to be paid to the Mexi
can Government without the privilege of assign
ment as provided in the original paper. This de
prives the bonds <*f their negociable character ;
so that if the English desire to get the money in
payment of their claims on Mexico, they must
first labor to make Mexico strictly carry out her
part of the treaty, as otherwise we stop the pay
ments. The time at which they become due, is
extended so as to afford sufficient time for the
fulfilment of the Treaty by Mexico, before any
considerable amount of the indemnity is paid
over.
Our friends are insisting on the immediate pas
sage of the War Bill, as a necessary measure
of precaution. Many Whigs, however, oppose
this course, in the street. They know well that
the ratification by Mexico, depends in a great
measure, on the fear of finding us prepared to
resume the war with vigor, in case she backs out.
Notwithstanding this, they appear willing to risk
the triumph of peace to effect their miserable
partizan end of embarrassing the administration.
LOWNDES,
Col. Morgan, of Ohio, who distinguished him
self in the tecent battles in Mexico, related the
following anecdote at a public dinner, recent
ly given to him by the citizens of Columbus,
Ohio;
“In one of the battles near Mexico—at a mo
ment when the storm of battles raged the fier
cest, at the darkest hour of the conflict, when
death was making fearful havoc in the ranks, the
halls rattling like hailthrough the thinning ranks
of the regiment—the standard bearer, struck in
the face by a spent ball fell, carrying with him
the flag. All who noticed it, supposed him dead
A gallant ybuth of the regiment, scarce sixteen
years of age, forgetful of everything save that
that flag was in the dust, rushed forward, seized
and raised it, and shaking out its folds, sprung
forward to the assault. The Irishman stunned
for a moment, raised himself, and wiping the
blood which blinded him, from his eyes, saw the
flag placed in bis charge, soon rode in advance;
he rushed forward—bloody and ghastly with
his wounds, and seized the loved banner, and
in his peculiar language, exclaimed:. “By St.
Patrick! .1 am worth a dozen dead men yet!”
and, wounded as he was, he carried that flag
through the remainder ofthe fight, until it wav
ed in victory. This is but one instance of the
devotion ot the citizens of foreign birth.—[Savan

be a priest of his religion. Fortunately for tot
'tcring dynasties of the present day, this wish was
not accomplished. His trade required him to
travel; and after some years be returned to hie
native place and established a small business.—
He soon, however, gained considerable notoriety
as a collector of old and curious coins, which
brought him much in contact with persons of
rank, among whom it wo a fashion to make
such collections; and finally he went to Hanover
as clerk in a large banking house. Subsequent
ly, with a few years’ savings, he returned to
Frankfort, married, and commenced a little ex
change business. His great sagacity, strict punc
tuality and a. rectitude of conduct, pushed him
rapidly forward, and towards the close of the
century the Frankfort hanking house had become
famous, and profits large. The banker, mean
time, brought up ten children, of whom five eons
were “after his own heart;” and when he died’
he left them vast wealth end an extensive busi
ness, with the injunction to dwell in strict and
unbroken unity. And the injunction then be
stowed has been faithfully carried out. The fivo
sons conducted as many banking houses at the
leading capitals of Europe. ‘They were as fol
lows:—the eldest, Anselm, was born in. 1773;
and was the most substantial citizen of, Frank
fort pand, representing the father, he was the
head of the whole operations of the house. Thu
second Solomon, born in 1774, became a citizen
of Vienna, where he is held in high estimation
as a man. as well as a member in the most stu
pendous banking house in the world.
The fourth son, Charles, wav bom in 1788, an<s
has since 1821, conducted the house at Naples,
where his popularity is equal to that of any of
his brothers. The youngest son, Jacob, was born
in 1792, and is banker for Paris, where he main
tains a splendor that eclipses most ofthe Princes
of Eu rope. The third son we have yet to men
tion, Nathan, who was horn in 1777, and become
the head of the London house in 1798, apd was
in every intellectual respect, a giant. It was
observed of him that should he partake ofthe chase
it could only be to hunt elephants.
These five houses, combining all the financial
resources of Europe in their movements, which
were always simultaneous, have exercised for
half a century, a power unseen but overwhelm
ing. Nearly all the government debts of Europe
are their contracting. Through the wars of
Bonaparte their information was always correct,
and always in advance of the British government
which was often dependent upon them for infor
mation as well as means of action. Although
their residences were always widely separated,
each conitolling all with the spliere of his influ
ence,and commanding all means of information,,
no important transaction was entered into with
out consultation and strict harmony of opinion
among them all. AH commercial exchanges gnd
all movements of business were known to and
often controlled l>y thcold Jew in Frankfort, who
would in the exercise of his great power look with
contempt upon feeble despots crying to him for
help; and the aid asked depended on the assent
of the five brothers. Accordingly, they were cour
ted in every possible way. In ISIB, they were
made private commercial counsellors to the King
of Prussia; in 1815, financial counsellors to the
Hessian'government; also to the Austrian Em
peror, who conferred on them the rank of Baron*.
In 1836 Nathan died, leaving £53,000,000 and
seven children, of whom four were sons. The

abella by the Catholics at Madrid, and who is a

This gentleman it is who has become a member

A Drunkard ox Fire. —Dr. Nottin his lec
tures, gives the following account of a young man
about twenty-five years of age:
“He had been an habitual drundard for many
years. I saw him about 9 o’clock in the eve
ning on which it happened; but he was then as
lull as usual, not drunk, but full of liquor.
About 11 o’clock the same evening,|l was call
ed to see him. I found him literrally roasted,
from the crown of his head to the soles of his
feet. He was found in a blacksmith’s shop just
across from where he had been seen. The ow
ner all of a sudden, discovered au extensive light
in his shop, as though the whole building was
in one genera! flame. He ran with great pre
cipitancy, and on throwing open the door, he
discovered a man standing erect in the midst of
a widely extended silver colored flame, bearing
as he described it, exactly the appearance of the
wick of a burning candle in the midst of its own
flame. He seized him, (the drunkard,) by the
shoulder, jerked him to the door, upon which
the flame was instantly extinguished. There
was no fire in the shop neither was there any
possibility of any fire having been communicated
to him from any external source. It was pure
ly a case of spontaneous ignition. A general
slough soon came on, and his flesh was consum
ed or removed in the dressing, leaving ihe hopes
and a few ofthe larger blood vessels; the blood ;
nevertheless, rallied around the heart and main
tained the vital spark until the thirteenth day,
when he died, not only most loathsome, ill fea
tured picture that was ever presented tu the hu
man view, but his shrieks, his groans, and his.
lamentations, also, were enough to* rend a heart
of adamant. He complained of nopain of body;
his slosh was gone. He said he was suffering
the torments of hell—that be jvas just upon the
threshold, and would soon enter its dismal cav
ern ; and in this frame cf mind he gave up the
ghost. Oh! the death of the drunkard! Well
may it be said to beggar all description! I have
seen other drunkards die, but never in a manner
so awful and effecting.”
The Interior of the Earth.—A fact of
great interest, says Professor Siliiman, has been
proved by the borings for artesian Wells in the
suburbs of Paris—namely, that as we go towards
the centre of the earth, the temperature increas
es at the rate of about one degree, for every fifty
feet. That the whole interior portion of the
earth, or at least a great part cl it, is an igneous
portion of melted rock, agitated by violent kviflfd,
