From ike Charleston Mercury. Wasiiinctox, Dec. 17, 1836. The investigators of the Post Office confla ' gratiou, have discovered that tho fire origina ted in the cellar, under the City’ Post Office, I stowed with pine wood, cinders and ashes : I and that the Messengers of the building, who i had the avails of the ashes and cinders, us a diAfe. ” AU sCp.rmmmJunt'of the police ofthe’buiWtngds Mt. KeuOalPs fa tner-in-law. So the building and contents were sacrificed to the authorized cupidity of some of the subordinates attached to it. If it had been insured, the policy’ would have been forfeited, by the fact that ashes were deposited iu its cellars. Ot course it is no longer neces sary to refer the conflagration to Mr. Wise’s Resolution; but it is hinted that the ‘"search- ' ing operation” therein proposed, may yet m volve in conflagration the Lai d arid Indian Bureaus and the Office of “Mister Whitney” The friends of the Administration, as it ap pears from this day’s Globe, have determined to abide the issue which they say Mr. Wise has made, but which, in fact, was 'made by the writers of the Message, who claim for the se veral officers of the Departments, no such credit for “ ability and integrity,” The Reso lution will, no doubt, be ultimately passed, in ! the shape proposed by Mr. Dutec' J. Pierce. j 1 here will then b : uu enquiry’ into each spe- , citic allegation, which may be made against any Department or Bureau. There is no man ! who knows any thing of the administration of; the Government, for the lust eight years, who I is not convinced that the most shameful outra- i gesand abuses have prevailed in th- branches], of service which Mr. V, ise proposes to enquire into, and which the President so warmly eulo- ’ gizes. But did this eulogy come from the President? Mr. Wise says it did uot. Mi\ Peyton says ii. did not. Nobody believes that it did. It came from those who were more immediately inter estedin the frauds and abuses which it intend cd to conceal. To show that the President felt no special interest in tho Message, Air. Peyton mentioned iu a speech on the Resolution above referred to, that one of the Committee who waited upon him to inform him ol the or ganization of the two Houses of Congress, (M>. Grundy.,. I presume,) was requested bv the President to remain with him Ibra while. The President said he was lonesome, and feeble, and wished the society of those with whom he could converse as f iends. In a long conver sation which follow ed, the President made uot the most distant allusion to politico or the sub ject of the Mcsstrge. He spoke of death, of eternity, of his home,of the“ Hei mitnge,’’and his desire to return to it, and in its shades, to repose his wearied frame. His thoughts were beat upon other and holier meditations than a eulogy on the officers ol the Executive Depart ments. I may mention, in this connexion, that though some of the palace-hunters represent th Pres identes improving ami better in health, the fact is not s.-.. He is very fa ble,and fast sicking.

Savannah. Dec. 21.—W0 deeply regret to learn '..v Uupf. Brooks, of the Steamer &rn tee, arrived ycst- iday morning from Volusia, that on Saturday last, 19th instant, about 4 o’clock in ill.; afternoon, the Steam Py.utet Dolphin, Capt. Rudolph, oil St. Bar, stopt to take a Pilot on board, and in the act of starting the engine, *nie boiler burst, and unfortunately killed pTteeii persons. The San tee w;iß lyt-ic at anchor inside ofthe Bar, and. saw the cxplosi'm t-.ke place, wherein-,on she raised steam and proceeded so? the wreck — when within about h ilf a mile of the wreck meta pdol. boat <•(*John’s Bar, having on | board CqL Yn-own, ladv, three children and I serve- (jpohs u;-(i son, and Capt.

On the arrival of the Santee at the wreck she took off Dr. Martin, U. S. A. and Messrs. Waklrum and Donaldson. The small boat of the S. was then sent to a man who had drifted about, a mile on a pi ce of limb r from the wreck, and while getting him on board the boat, another person was discovered about 15)yards from them, with his head just above water, who proved to be Col. Dell of Jacksonville slightly wounded and much exhausted, and succeeded in saving him. It getting dark, the Santee returned inside ofthe Bar with the fol lowing persons saved from the wrecks Col. Brow . lady and two children; Mrs. Gibbs ami son ; Dr. JZartin, U. S. A. ; Messrs. Waldron, and Col. Dili slightly wounded, and one other person w hose name we c uld not •ascertain; Capt.

A. ; Miss Brown, daughter of Col. Brown ; BaruabuS Luce, mate, Beaury and Eldree, en gineers; Ketnory. pilot; two deckhands, three stewards, and three blacks. We learn that Barnabas Luce, the mate, was a native of Rochester, Mass. About 30 p rsons were supposed to have been on board the Dolphin at the time of the disaster. The survivors were conveyed to S\. Augustine, by the Steamboat John Stoney, with the exception ofCok. Dell, who was taken to Jack- oi>vilie. We uiidersta.M that the Dolphin sunk in four fathoms water, 11 is Worthy of remark, that Dr. Martin, of the Army, after the explosion took place, gave up his place m the Scow to a lady, and clung to a log, until the steamboat Santee came up No news from the Army since they depart ed from Volusia for the Wahoo Swamp.— Georgian. THE NEW DOLLAR. It gives us pleasure to announce that the dollar of our own mint is soon to make its appearance. The face of the coin represents a full length figure of Liberty, seated on a rock, with the classic emblem of the pileus or liberty -- o v<* me aincriv.™ shield. ' with its tjtirfdhh stripes, crossed by a scroll, 0.. which is the word Liberty. The reverse represents the American eagle, on the wing, drawn accurately from nature; all the heraldie appendages ofthe old coin be ing discarded. Over the field are placed irregularly twenty-six stars ; the entrance of Michigan into the Union, having been, it seems, anticipated. 1 he design ofthe face of the coin was drawn by Mr. Sully, and that ofthe reverse by Mr. Titian Peale. beth under instructions from the Director ofthe Jlfint. The dies were execu ted by Mr. Gobrccht, oue ofthe engravers of the mmt. This emission of dollars is the first coined at the mint since the year 1895. ’lt is intend ed to adopt the same design in the other coins, as soon as it is practicable to do so.— Globe. JACKSONVILLE, DEC. 15.—The army | under command of Gen. Jesup left Volusia on the 12th inst. with ten days provisions. The I march is upon Wahoo Swamp where it is sup posed the hostile Indians, or. a part, at least, ' ot them, are determined to make a last and • desperate stand. If the information obtained from the Indian prisoner, taken by Gen. Jesup can be relied on, the Wahoo Swamp is Osecla’s fortress—his lust strong hold—which he. with his men, 180 in number, are determined to de fend or die in the attempt. His fortress is impenetrable, says the Indian pris mer, except in two places—one of which will require rafts, the other can be forded—and both of them are very difficult and dangerous passes. These Oseola intends to defend and he has erected fortifications for their defence. Gen. Jesup proceeds to these two points, where there will probably’ b- hard light! ig before the passes are ) forced. But. how long can such a handful of men hold out against an army of two thousand? Let their anvimtage of position be ever so o- reat —the passes ever so difficult—the rude forti ficotidns such an enemy can erect, must be swept away and they, either slain or forced to seek refuge in the everglades. I lie amount of information derived from the Indian prisoner, seenis to be this, us near as we cun learn—that Oseola and 180 of bis war riots are alone i.i the Wahoo Swamp—that t’nidp, Jumper and Micanopy and their men, were there at. the battle of the 21st ult. but h-<ve retired south. That Oseola has two kegs ponder, I’hiup has one, Micanopy oi:e and a half, and Jumper but half a keg That it was Jumper s warriors who hung so long up on our settlements in (his vicinity and that his num lire nearly ail kdled.

Kozues fu!l out, &e.” been so forcibly impressed BMMjPWTthis maxim, as on reading in a late the “Federal Union,” a vin dication of Charles C. Mills, late Cashier of the Central Bank, fr< m certain charges made against him by Gov. Schley, Dr. Fort, and Rhodam A. Green the present Cashier of that Bank. It seems that during the Casl.iership of the said Charles C.: ha was unable (as he says) to account for an overplus of-$2,700, CO cash W'hich was discovered ou counting the funds of the Rank. And on retiring from his office, in the absence of a more safe place of deposite, he transferred it to his purse, without ever disclosing the fact to his successor; and no doubt invested ihe amount, thus honestly ob tained “m a fair business transaction,” in a certain negro speculation, in which he forth with engaged—He admits that he was satisfied this amount had grown out of some error w’hicb he would sooner or later discover—but as he failed to detect the error, the money was I of course his; which he establishes by a most cogent and conclusive argument, viz: that if by tiny error life Bank had sustained a loss, he was liable—ergo as there was cash unac counted for it was his. His immediate suc cessor, John W. Porter, finding the cash ac count balanced by Mr. .Mills’short process of pocketing the overplus, did not detect the er ror; consequently it was left for the “saga, cious” Rhodain to ferret out—>ti doing which he forthwith as ia duty bound communicated his discovery Io the directors, and the Gover nor notified Mr. Mil's’ Securities of his “def.il cation"’ and threatened suit—Whereupon Mr. Mills ptiid up the money, and would ” in his article that he merits much I- - esty:—quite as much we should be awarded to a thief fIL up stolen goods which had been Among the disclosures however lH has made,: is one which deserves a notice—He complains of a want of courtesy and a dispo- ' sition not to extend him any indulgence; while j he charges upo i Dr. i-’ort as doctor culpable ' neglect, in a certain matter connected w iih one I Z.

This is all Vcty honest Mr. Mills, but we think we hazal’d ii<itiim<g in saying, the public would have given you qiidc as nltich credit, if you had advised them of this misrule at an earlier dav. But this is the established mode of vindication now a days in all controversies, to criminate and recriminate; and in this case with all our heart we say “Lay on McDuff, And d n the man, That says hold or enough.” FOR THE SOUTHERN WHIG. Mu. Jones—Allow me to present a summa ry of (he argument used by me in your last paper to shew that the public lands North-west of the Ohio river constitute a Fund for the use and benefit of the .States in their individual and not in their federal character. Ist. I shewed by the articles of confedera tion that the Stales severally supported the con federated States, that the States in their fed eral character had no resources and could raise no taxes but in the manner, specially desimiati'd in the articles of confederation, they could acquire no property because, as they existed solely by a written instrument, they cowld do nolhing but what that instrument authorised, and that it did not authorise the acquisition of property, especially as a source of revenue, since that -voiild be the obtaining a power by indirection; directly prohibited in the instrument of their authority. 2d. I shewed that the mode of supporting the confederated States was but in one single way, and that was by a tax upon landed pro perty m each State to be assessed by Congress in a certain proportion; but to be raised mid paid by the State Legislatures, this was to dC fray the charges of war and other wpcnsCs. It would be well to recollect, in passing, that this dubious and imcertain method of support ing the old liiainly contributed to the forma tion of the new gover.imeut. 3d. IsheM’d that the State of Virginia con veyed to the United States in the year ’B4 while under the articles of confederation all her lands North-west of the Ohio rivet, (now composing the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, the Michigan and Wisconsin territories) under the following condition, to wit, “that the said lands shall be considered as a common fund for the use and benefit of such of the United States as have become, or shall become members of the confederation or Federal alliance of said States, ViUGiNiA inclusive, according to their usual respective proportions of the general charge and expenditure and shall be faithfully mid bona fide disposed of for that f->r no oilier use nr purpose this wa> i-iiend- d. not .is a but a-; a substitute for, 1 • •' 1 v 1 ' h.-id to pny whot> of course the supplies went into their own Treasury, if it did not amotttif to the requisition then the States had to make tip the deficiency from the land tax—That it was no good ob- . . . lection to say the respective States would have to pay it hack to the confederated government in discharge ®f their quota Os taxes, that might or might not be, especially, as some of the States hid large claims against the federal government, but that if such objection were good, it ceased the moment the new constitu tion was adopted; fbf then also ceased the i mode of supplying the federal government bv i the individual States, and consequently the I fund generously set apart by Virginia to aid , her sister States, herself included, to meet the j requisitions of the federal government, being no longer wanted, fell back into their own State Treasuries. 4th. If, (to use the very words ofVirgi.ua) this land was to be disposed of and divided i among the States, according to their usual res i pcctive proportions of the general charge and ; 1 expenditure and to go to their credit against 1 ■ whatever might be required for that purpose, ; 'it follows beyond all cavil, that when that “charge and expenditure” ceased the fund spe- i cially provided for that object, could not be ap- ' plied to any other use and must of course re- 1 vert cither to Virgi .ia, or to the respective ob- ' jects of her liberality. It could not possibly] be transferred to the new government under I the deed of cession, for there is nothing in it 1 to th.it effect, either express or implicit—Vir- I ginia could hot foresee that anew government i would he framed. Indeed there could be no! reason for it, for as the constitution had abro- 1 gated the plan of furnishing the federal govern ment by requisitions from the States, indirid ually. and fully clothed itself with authority to raise its oWn means iu its own way, and to any extent, it does not seem possible to con. ■ ccive that the .States, having so clear and di i recta 1 : interest m these lands, would give them j up also, :1s a resource for supplying the wants 'of the new government. And the provisions; 'n the constitution declaring that “all enga<re- ' guilts catered into before its adoption should 1 rstvaiid against the United States” and, (while ' . - . ,2' disposition of territory) “un- *" ''STL!. should prejudice the are conclusive j this If' nnl ’ im nediatcqfe jßiuse there I is not auoili t ". • knifercnce ! to territory which *hev were y 45re any ne. ttessity for in which tho individual “pre judiced.” 5:1). If Virginia had ccd.d th : land for her j use and bcncjil, according to her own pro.' portion of the “general charge and expend!- ( tare,- disposed of for no other use or : every one wi’l perceive that if the' lands sojj for more than her said proportion 1 she 'Vou’fi have h ■eii entitled to the sutplus, i b.CfiUse, j[ they had sold fjt Zi .ys the govern- I I ment Waul ih rm required h-r to make it up- < I'arthvr, h" t ( lr C ud cf six years, w hen the ’ I Federal Const it nt ion was framed and the iievY government agreed to take other modes of tax ation in lieu of that winch was provided iu the articles of confederation, and the land which was intended as a substitute for the same, is it not equally obvious jhat Virginia would have a right to take back her lands, or in othen words would not the federal govern ment, while carrying into effect the other ob jects of the cession, become a Trustee of the fund for her use, and liable to account to her for all their proceeds lietween the dates of the cession and the adoption of the Federal Con stitution? If so, what is to hinder her from calling on this same government to account to her for all the proceeds since the adaption of the Constitution, for no one can contend.unless the constitution itself reserves these lands for the use and benefit ofthe Federal Government,- that they Have acquired the right in any other instrument. Then; it follows, that if to \ ir gmia, these rights would accrue, they would also belong to the other States; because the ; deed of cession unites them with Gih. Finallv. To illustrate the argument, 1 ’ . if, when the present Federal Constitution went l into efiecßJheni had bce.i in the hands of the- ; old government, under the artich s of confed eration, 30 millions of dollars arising from the sales of lands North-west ofthe Ohio river, it would have been bound, after settling with the States and deducting the amount of requisi tions due by each, to have paid over to them whntevar balance was left, according to their respective proportion*- of the “general charge ; and expenditure.” I f this be sound reasoning. ! of which there cun be no manner of doubt, I then the land itself and whatever has since ; come into its hands by reason of subsequent ' sales, equally belong to them. Their acquies cing, from ignorance of their right, or any : other cause, in the Io ig and undisturbed use of tlb-si* funds by the federal government, does : not in the h ast degree forbid a reclamation of them at this time. What would be just and j right then must be just & right now. W henever the Federal Government pleads the statute of limitations it will be time enough to meet them jon that ground. It will be recollected how. I ever, that such a plea admits a former right in I the deniandaht. I A. S. CLAYTON. I New Sci>;a.£ ofn. r I Judge Strange, of N.
