IU SSIA. Accounts from Ht. Petersburg have been received which clearly show that Nicholas is heartily sick of the war vvilh the Circas sians, ami is exceediu gly anxious for peace. The determined opposition of the enemy produces a lamented deficit in the Russian Exchequer, and continual defeat discoura ges the Russian troops. Accounts from Odessa slate that the Cir cassians have defeated all the Ru*s ian cav dry stationed along the lines of Sadj.v and and the plain* ofAlazan. A few Russians who have survived the disaster have been able to retreat to tlie fortresses. The loss us the Russians amounts lo 3,<i00 men, in- ; eluding many officer* of gieat merit. A re markable feature iu this affair is that all the Russian positions were simultaneous ly utlarked by superior n umbers, so as to leave no doubt that the Circassian s had perfect information of the strength of the respective garrisons.

S Messrs.

Four of the supposed murderers of the ; Ridges, Botidiuol, and the Wright family, hgve been arrested by orders of Gen. Ar huokle, and were sent into Fort Smith, to be delivered over to the U. H. Marshall of the State of Arkansas. The lust sent in, and the most iff&wlly looking desperado I ever saw, 1 was one Nicholas, who was arrested by Lieut. Porter of the Dragoons, and by him placed in the custody of Maj. Elias Rector, P. .S. Mar shal. The testimony against him is almost positive- AH four are now on their way to 1 little Ruck, to be tried by the laws us Arkan sas. There is great excitement here.

Bvnk AnoLTCTtoN..—The N. Y. Even ing Post has the following pertinent re marks, on the action of the Virginia legis | laturc in relation to the banks of that state. The legislature of Virginia by a vote of ’ eighty to forty have legalized tlie stoppage I of payment by the Ranks until March next This shows what dependence is to be pla ced on laws made lo restrain the improper action of incorporated companies. In thefirst place an act is passed with due solemnity ; and formality imposing severe checks up on the banks lest they should abuse their I power and in the second place the abuse is no sooner committed than they are forth with not only absolved from the conse quences but a direct and positive sanction is given to their crimes by the highest au thority in the State. What is this but a ! very mockery of legislation ? Os what use are the laws, when a parcle of irresponsi ble companies after inflicting the greatest evils upon the community mav set them aside every time they choose to violate their obligations. It were certainly better that tlie laws were not made at all than they should be suspended at the will or conveni ence of a knot of bankrupts. A base attempt has been made to poison the family of Mr. Jesse Hoyt, Collector ’ of New York. A package was delivered at Mr. Hoyt’s house which the beater said was sent from a grocery in the Bowery, and was a sample of very fine coffee. From some circumstance suspicion was aroused ; in the mind of Mr. Hoyt, and he forwarded the parcel to Mr. Chilton to analyze. It | was found to be strongly impregnated w ith : arsenic.

[CorrespondentofihirClvailestun Courier ] j Wasiiinctus. Dec. 28. j Neither llouseof Congress is in session to day. The Standing Committee* are to be an nounced on Monday, and there is much specu lation ns to their character. The question is whether Mr. Hunter will feel bound to place administration majorities on the principalconv mittees, with a view to facilitate the progress of public business, for which the administra tion is responsible —or, whether he w ill place i the business in the baud*of thosegentlemen—- i. e., the Whigs Md Nullifiers —who elected him. It is a safe and just pariiamentary prin ciple that the Committees ought to represent the majority of the House, If the majority are friendly to the measures of the administration . then tlie Committee* should be formed iceor-1 dingly : hut of this there is some doubt. The administration hav e a decided majority for the Sub-Treasury, but it does not yet appear, not withstanding the assertion* of lip’ Richmond Enquirer, that the Calhoun members (so cal | led) are ready to go all lengths, on all questions, with the administration. We shall see how j they will vole on the printing question —which is. undoubtedly, as fair a test as the Speakers election. If they could not vote for Mr. Jones, can they vote for the Globe 1 If they can, then the breach created by the iiiiceriwonious abandonment of Mr. Dickens, may be cousidet ed as closed. We have many rumors afloat, as to the course of Mr. Calhoun and his friends; but none of them are lo be relied on. As fast as one obtains currency is is contradicted, and superceded by another. The amount of it seems to be, that the Buchanan interest is wil ling to receive Mr. Calhoun in full communion; but that, between hnn and Mr. Benton there is a deep gtilph. We shall soon be ablelo learn from Mr. Calboun’eowu lip* the truth in re gard to his present position. I have very little doubt that Mr. Speaker Hunter will place Mr. Illicit or Mr. Dickens, at the head oftheCoin mitteeof Ways and Means, and cast that Com mittee in such a way as to facilitate the finan ; eial measures of the ad mist ration. On the | Committee of Foreigh Affairs, he can place a majority of Whigs, with Mr. Cushing as Chair man; especially us tlm House i* unanimous upon the only important question touching our foreign relations. Mr. Wise is excused from serving on any Standing Committee. The j “private reason,” which he says he has for ma king this request, Ido not know. It may be, . that having been influential to the elceium of Mr. Hunter, aud prominent in the party that gave lheir|iinamtnous support to him the Spea ker might have been disposed to place him at j Some post of labor which he did not It is presumed, too, that Mr. W ise will he at the bead-ofa Committee of investigation, as [ heretofore. No champion has yet appeared for the a* sumption of State debts. Col. Benton lias thrown down the glove, but no one has adv an ced to take it up. Some essayist, in the Lou don Bankers’ Circular, and a writer in the New York Courier and Enquirer, art- the only advocatcsofthe scheme, that I have ever heard of. The new* from Richmond is, that the “ im practicables” have given way, and that Mr. Rivers will be elected to the E. S. Senate. from the Autrnela Conutitutionalirl. Washington, Dec. 3 l. 1839. \\ c have some of your Native American Georgians at present in thecity,on a visit front the far West, and their leader, Mr. John Ross, has just arrived in time to read the severe re marks made on his late murderous conduct hy Mr. Secretary Poinsett, in his annual report. These red people seem to be betlei taken care of than our own, for they not only have meal, drink and clothing prov ided for them free of \ expense, but they are permitted to kill w hen they please, and w ho they please, without suf fering the. infliction of any other punishment than a few hard words from the newspapers. Os course this Scotch Indian-Chief and his clan will become the lions of the day, and instead of suffering for their misdeeds, will be sent home with that sovereign golden plaster which remedies all the ills they receive from being | contaminated by civilization. The Virginia Legislature elects a Senator ! on Monday next, and there is every probabil ity of the success of John T. Mason, the demo cratic candidate—at least such is the prevalent : opinion of the Virginia membersof the House, formed from the advices they have received. The New Jersey whig claimants arc hang ing on yet, and occasionally usurp the desks of members, in writing letters and lounging. I like to watch these minority gentlemen— they are so very modes! and unaesumine. It is thought their case will not be settled for sev eral mouths—and if either party are allowed | lb’ seats, it will be those having the majority [ of the votes of the people. Washington, Jan. 1. The President's mansion was, according to custom, thrown open to-day, to all who wished to show their respects to the Chief Magistrate of the nation. The foreign Di plomatic Corps, aud the officers of the Ar my and Navy, made an unusually brilliant appearance. The heads of departments and nearly all the members of Congress, ol both parlies, were present. Among those whom I noticed were Mr. Clay, Mr. Preston, and Mr. Calhoun. The President lias not lost the hcalthfulappearance which he brought with him from his northern tour, and he teceivcd all in his usual bland and courteous manner. The levee was I graced with an uncommon share of bcautv and fashion; and, on the whole, it was more orderly, select, and elegant than any thing that has taken place here since the acces sion of General Jackson to the Presidency. The successor of Mr. Grundy, in the of fice of Attorney General is not yet appoint ed. Rumor assigns the office to Mr. Gil pin, now Comptroller of the Treasury, or Air. James M. Poster (brother of the Gov ernor) of Pennsylvania. Congress. —ln Senate, 31st ult, Mr. Cal houn gave notice that he would atk leave to bring in a bill to cede the public lands to the new state on certain conditions- Mr. Norvell submitted the following resolu tion ; Resolved, that the Committee on Indian Affairs be instructed to inquire into the ex pediency of making an appropriation suffi cient to effect by peaceable and pecuniary means and inducements the immediate re moval west of the Mississippi of all the In dians now in the Teriitory of Florida. In the House same day the following offered by Mr. Sergeant was passed. Resolved. That the 20th rule of the House be so altered that the daly presen tation of petitions be allowed for twenty days from this day. The Banks of Virginia. —The bill for the relief of the banks of Virginia, which had previously passed the House of Dele gates of that State, also passed the Senate on Tuesday ,with an amendment, requiring the banks to pay persons applying, for pur poses al change, ten dollars in specie.— The banks are required to pay the interest of the State debt in specie.

George Culvert, the head chief of tlie Choctaw naiiou, u man of cu peiior intelligence, the greatest of H arriots and the white man’s friend. He was a Re volutionary veteran ; he served under Gen eral Washington in out struggle for indc-*” pendencc, front whom lie received n com mission of Major of Militia in the United j Elates service, and a sword. He served under Gen. Wayne, and also under Gen. Jackson in the Florida war of 1814, against the Semiuolcs ; for his bravery, General Jackson presented him with a colonel's commifsiou, and afterwards a sword, when President of the United States. He gained the entire confidence of the officers lie ser ved under for his integrity Olid valor : he. was physically and mentally a great man ; although 95 years of age, he walked as upright as a man of 25. ** The commanding officer, on having received and read n commission, ordered an escort from the fort of three officers, a captain and two subalterns, also nil the men doing military duty to escort his corpse to its last testing place with reversed arms, and buried hi* remains w ith the customary salute due his rank : lie was interred with • his saddle and bridle, the swords presented him by Generals Washington and Jackson, and a United States flag. He was of great importance to the cause of civilization among hi* people by examples of industry; he was a planter, his fields of cotton whi tened the hills and dales near the fort.— He educated his sons and located them on plantations among his people, whiclr work ed a moral influence among them ; he was looked up to a* a father, and exercised a father's influence over his people.” Savannah, Jan. Gth. Fire. — From a gentleman direct from Springfield. Effingham County we have received the following painful intelli gence : Last night, between the hours of 10 and 11 o’clock, probably about an hour after the family had relited to rest, the house of Mr. Samuel Scoven took fire—and so. rapid was the progress of the flames that it was with much difficult Mr. Scoven — bearing in his arms his youngest child, in company with his wife—effected their cs cape, bv throwing themselves from a win dow, leaving as victims to the fiery and merciless element their only daughter, interesting child about four years old and a black boy, aged about fourteen years, be*, longing the Rev. Mr. Right,—.-Mr. Scovcn made icpealing and daring attemr s to res cue his little daughter but it was worse than in vain; it vyas beyond the power of man to have rendered any effectual assis tance. And if possible it could have been, done no human aid was present. AVhcn friendly aid did arrive the work of death was already accomplished—woe and mise-. ry sat heavy upon the heaving bosom of the surviving sufferers. No diction can ade-. ! quately describe the sensations of the un-. happv parents when amidst the cracking ilanies, the cry the expiring child in 1 accents the most piteous, called for its mother—that mother lay on the cold,damp, earth unhoused and urtappar eled. Mr. Sco-. ven himselfis badly and seriously injured by the fire. They lost every thing, not even ihe smallest particle of clothing wa* saved ; and their destitute and horrible cojft-. dition cannot fail to elicit in their behalf the tender sympathies of a Christian cotp, niunity- — Rep.
