refuses to give biman education because he is net intended for a learned profession. What over he may intend, be cannot know to what his son may come, and if there should be no change in this lespect, will a liberal education be lost upon him, because he is not a lawyer, a doctor, or a divine ? Nothing can be more untrue or pernicious than this opinion. It is impossible to imagine a citizen of this common wealth to be in any situation in which the dis ciplino and achievements of a liberal educa tion, however various and extended, will not have value. They will give him considera tion and usefulness, which will be seen and felt in his daily intercourse of business or pleasure ; they will cive him weight and worth as a member orfociety, and be a ne ver falling source ofhonorable, virtuous and lasting enjoyment under all circumstances, and . in every station in life. They will preserve him from the delusion of dangerous resorts, and the seductions of degrading and destruc tive vices. The gambling table will not be resorted to, to hasten the slow and listless step of time, when the library offers a surer and more at. tractive source. The bottle will not be appli ed to, to stir the languid spirit to action and delight, when the magic of the poet is at hand to rouse the imagination and pour its fascina ting wonders «n the soul. Such gilts, such acquirements, will make their possessor a true friend, a more cherished companion, a moie interesting, beloved and lovtng busband, a more valuable and respectable parent. THE CASHMERE. BY DR. RUSCHENBURGER. At our request the shawl merchants and venders of Persian rugs sent, for, and in a few minutes twenty coolies, bearing on their heads great bundles done up in white muslin, passed into an adjoining room, followed by halt the number of Eastern merchants, and half a doz en brokers, or appraisers, The bundless were speedily united, and a thousand shawls fiom Cashmere were revealed to our inspection, each merchant drawing forth and exhibiting his goods, lauding their beauties and qualities in the Hindoostanee, no matter whether under stood or not. The scene is an exciting one, for they all talk at once. One throws a splen did shawl over his shoulders, and struts to the light to show it off, at the same time looking backwards, and calling attention to its merits; while another, holding a shawl upon his out stretched hands, leans forward over his pack, looking you in the face, beseeching you to feel how soft its texture, to examine the border and the beauty of its colours. One is bewil dered with such a display, and I can imagine that a young lady might be crazed at the sight. Here were long shawls, square shawls, large and small, of pure white, green blue, yellow, ©range, red, and black ; some having four co lors so nicely quartered, that, by care in fold ing, thev might be made to show for so ma. _ny different shawls. All were brilliant in co lour and beautifully embroidered. Tho prices of the shawls vary from one hun dred to six thousand rupees, and of the scarfs, three yards long by a quarter w ide, from six to twenty rupees, according to quality The merchants always demand two or three times these prices, but to adjust all differences on this subject, it is referred to a broker or apprai ser, whose opinion is received as final. When the matter is about being decided, the merchant ard broker take each other by the hand, be neath the shawl under consideration, and for a few moments look each other in the fi.ee, the former with an inquiring gaze, the latter with an air of indifference. In this manner intelli gence is mutually conveyed in silence. Some times the broker ends the communication by tossing the shawls to the merchant with a ges ture of contemptuous derision; or, by literally forcing it into your hands, announcing the price to be paid, while the merchant,as if un willing to part with it on such terms, still re tains his hold upon it, but almost always yield, ingto the appraiser’s decision in the course of a few moments. Jn our case. Monockjee, whose word seemed to be law’, very kindly told us to select whatever suited our fancies, and he “ would settle the price.” Cashmere shawls are manufactured in the valley of Cashmere alone, whence they are sent to Surat, Bengal, or to other parts oflndia, and find their way through these channels all over ctwfcorld. The manufactures give employ. *>ant to 50,000 men, and activity to 16,000 looms. The wool of which they are made is not produced in the country, but is brought from Thibet, wheie it is an article of extensive traffic, regulated with great jealousy ; it is ori - ginally of a dark gray colour, and is bleached in Cashmere. The yarn of this wool is stain ed with such colours as may be deemed best suited for sale, and alter being woven, the piece is once washed. The borders, which usually display a variety of figures and colours, are attached to the shawls after fabrication, but in so nice a manner, tnat the junction is not descernible. The Shawls usually consist •f three sizes, two of which, the long and small square, which are in common use in In dia, are the sorts, usually sent to England ; the other, long and very narrow, with a large mixture oi black in them, arc worn as a gir dle by many of the Asiatics. They are gen erally sold in pairs; the price varies accor ding to the quality, and is considerable en haueed by the introductions of flower-work. For the English market, those with eolored grounds and handsome rich borders and flow. •rs are most esteemed ; the plain white shawls being closely imitated in England, are seldom in demand. According to Mr. Starchey, not more than 30,000 shawls are made on an av. erage, at Cashmere, in one year. From the Ist of January to the 17 of October, 1835, the number exported from Bombay was 3419. Sunset.— How beautiful is sunset! and who dees not love this hour, when the orb of day is aiuking in the west beneath a clouded sky ; when nature and ail animated creation sleep in silence, and free from the constraints of man and the pursuits of life, we can retire to some place of quietness and solitude, and enjoy a acene that elevates our thoughts, and inspires us with feelings of love and gratitude to the God of Heaven for the bounties of his hands and the blessings of his providence to us his degenerate children! It is an hour solemn and impressive, taken from the rapid whirl of time, and devoted to the immortal interests of the soul—an hour distinct and alone from the turmoil and strife of life, in which we can in silent aspirations worship our Makerand dwell with rapture on the works of his fingers. Man is a being who, generally speaking, is obliged to pursue some calling or avocation in life, for the purpose of maintaining not only himself, but frequently to support those who have a claim upon him from the natural ties and relationships of life : those pursuits during the day naturally fill his mind, to the exclusion es matters of more serious and holy import; but when evening casts its shadows around, and the dews of Heaven are falling upon the grateful earth, and all nature seems hushed to repose, the scene operates on his mind in a dif ferent manner; ho then feels lifted above the earns of life, and voluntarily pours out his soul m silent prayer to the God of Abraham Isaac, and Jacob, for the inestimable privileges he then enjoys. Moreover, sunset is an emblem of the close of our pilgrimage on earth, when life’s sun itself shall set in the grave, and we be gathered to our fathers; when the world r nd all its parade and folly shall fade before our closing eyes, and when death shall forever seal us happy or miserable. Such are the startling truths suggested to the mind at the going down of the great luminary of day. and as such we should give them wel come, not otdy for the important lessons they teach, but for the glory of God and the im provement and advancement of religion in our souls. Life is, at best, but delusive and uncer tain : wo daily see our friends and relatives hurried from the bustling scenes of life to the cold and icy tomb; those, perhaps, who were as vigorous and as flourishing as ourselves, and who look forward like ourselves with flattering hopes and anticipations of years of ease and happiness, are cut offin the prime of their days; and where are they ? They have left this wil derness of sorrow’, and entered the unexplored sea of eternity, and soon w'e must follow them; end as we may be snatched away in the bloom of youth, or as life’s sun may go down at noon, and w'e be called to meet an angry God, how necessary for us to improve the time wisely, that our sun may go down in all the splendor and brightness of the perfect Christian, and rise again in all the beauty and triumph of the saints of God.—lV. Y. Christian Adv. Jour. IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL. Barry Cornwall puts into the mouth of Juli. an the Apostate, the following beautiful argu. mentin favor of the immortality of the soul ; “ I cannot think that the great soul of man, With its accumulated wisdoms, too, Must perish—why, the words he utters lives, And is the spirit which gave birth to thoughts Beneath its own creation.” Lord Brougham.— The following curious but characteristic anecdote of this remarkable man is copied from a Paris letter in the Lon don Courier of May 4 : His lordship during his short stay in Paris went everywhere, every saloon being too hap py to receive so distinguished a guest; he did not by any means confine his visits to the libe ral parties, for what may be called his grand display took place in the hotel of the Princess Lieven, where,-surrounded by aristocrats, the chiefs of the Carlist party, the Duke of Fitz james, Berryer. and others, besides a whole host of Russians, and all the ambassadors in France, the noble Lord delivered a tirade of more than an hour’s length, upon the Carlist party and the policy of the court of Russia, both of w hich be attacked with all the caustic severity for which his style is so remarkable. Though his French accent is detestable, he delivered, himself with as much confidence and rich volubility as if in his place in the House of Lords. The eloquent Barryer, who was at his elbow, looked unutterable things at each wicked thrust, but many of the Muscovi tes were perfectly thunderstruck, never hav ing heard an approach to such language in their lives. Despite all his political blasphe mies, however, the entire assembly, hostile as they Were, left the room deeply impressed with a sense of his exalted powers. Origin of “ Yes Horse'’— A gentleman trav. elling through the pine woods of Georgia, ar. rived at a settlement towards eve ing, at one of the houses of which he stopped for the night. There happened to be a ball in the neighborhood, and he being a stranger was, as a matter of course, invited. During the eve. ning the gentlemen regaled themselves with whiskey and giniwine” New England, and the ladies amused themselves with eating roasted potatoes-(which were handed round in place of cakes and wine,) taking the peeling of with their finger nails. Concluding to dance, the gentleman stepped up to a young lady who was busily employed in disposing of an enor. trous potatoes and politely asked her if she would dance with him in a set just forming? To which she replied, “Yes, Horse, if 1 knows myself, I goes it. Here Sall, (epewk. ing to a friend beside her,) hold my tater whilst I trot a reel with this ’ ere fellow’.” From the Correspondence of the Chron. and Sentinel. Washington, June 22d, 1838. The House of Representatives was again occupied during the whole of the morning hour, with the consideration oftho Report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, to discharge them from the papers which have been refer, red to them on the subject of the Annexation of Texas to the Union ; with the motions of Mr. Cushing and Mr. Thompson, heretofore noticed. Mr. Adams resumed and continued his re marks, the object of which, today, w as to show that the rule which directed all petitions, me moriils,&c.. relating to slavery, to be laid on the tabie, was unjust and oppressive. Before he had concluded liis argument, the hour elap. sed. Just as the House was proceeding to the orders of the day, McKemion moved that the rules be suspended for the purpose of consid ering the resolution submitted by Mr. Boon of Indiana, fixing the 22d of July as the day of adjournment. The question being taken by ayes and nays was carried in the affirmative. Ayes 139. Nays 55. So the rules were sus pended. The resolution was afterwards modified so as to insert the second Monday in July (the 9th instead of the first Monday (the 2nd.) Mr. Rice Garland moved to amend by stri king out the “ second” inserting the “ third” Menday. After some debate, this amendment was rejected. Ayes 90, Nays 121. On motion of Mr. Sherrod Williams, the subject was then postponed to Friday next Ayes 95, Nays 85. SUB TREASURY SCHEME. On motion ol Mr, Cambreling, the rules set ting apart this day for private inreinove were suspended, and the House went into Commit tee of the Whole, and resumed the considera tion of the Sub Treasury Bill. ; Mr, Hunter of Va., took the floor, and fin ished his remarks in support of the measure. In the Senate to day, Mr. Buchanan pre sented several memorials in favor of the pas sage of the Sub Treasury Bill. Laid on the table. ■Mr. Grundy reported a bill to change the time of holding the Circuit Court of the Uni. ted States for East Tennessee, which was con sidered and ordered to a third reading. THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT. Mr. Norvell presented a memorial from the Washington Monument Association, in refer ence to the charge lately advance d against the corporation, in the Senate of the United States. It was read. Mr. King objected to the language as im proper Mr. Morris moved that it be returned to the memorialists. Mr. Preston opposed this course, and Mr. Morris withdrew his motion. After some explanations of the object and statements of the memorial, it was laid on the table, on the motion of Mr. Sevier (The memorial states that $28,000 have been collected by the Society, over and above the expense of collection ; and of this sum Ohio contributed $6,000.) Ihe act to test by experiment the strength of steam-boilers, which was received from the House with an amendment, was then taken up, the amendment concurred in, and the bill fi nalld passed. The amendmants of the House to tho bill making appropriations for certain roads in W isconsin, were considered, and ch*motion o! Mr. lipton, the Senate disagreed to them, and information thereof was sent to the House. I he remainder of the day was spent on pri vatn bills. ' M. Washington, June 25, 1838. Ihe Sub-Treasury Bill again rejected! The morning hour, to day, being set apart for the reception of resolutions from the states in their order. Mr. Petriken moved to suspend the rules, in order to enable him to make a motion to recon sider the vote by which on Saturday last the House adopted a resolution designating the second Monday in July for the termination of the present session. The House agreed to suspend the rules, and then rejected by a large majority the proposition to reconsider. The object was to tix the third Monday for the close of the session, and then starve off a decision on the Sub-Treasury Bill for several days. But the party failed in their purpose. The. resolution for adjourning on the day mentioned cannot now be reconsidered ; and it is highly probable that the vote will be taken on the Sub- Treasury Bill tomorrow; and little doubt is en tertained, that this odious and pernicious meas sure will be defeated. The Chair then proceeded to cal! the states in their order for resolutions. Mr. Hopkins, from the Select Committee on the memorial of Francis P. Blair, asking an inquiry into the mode in which he has execu ted the public printing, report a resolution to authorise that Committee to send for persons and papers. Some debate arose on the motion. It was strenuously opposed on the ground that (here would not be time lor a thorough investigation, before the close of the session, 'i he resolu tion was finally carried by the instrumentality of the previous question. A great number of resolutions were submit ted and laid cer till to-morrow. The most important of them will be noticed as they suc cessively come up. Mr. Bell rose, and remarking that the most of these resolutions were unimportant, and could not be acted upon at the present session, moved that the House should proceed to the consideration of the Sub-Treasury Bill. Those who wished that important measure starved off endeavored to put down this proposition by clamor; but it would not do ; and an order was passed that the Sub-Treasury Bill should be taken up immediately after the recess, at half past three o’clock. Mr. Bell expressed a hope that both sides of the House would agree to let the bill be re ported from the C ommitttee of the Whole this evening. When the House re-assembled, Mr. Rhett addressed the Chair until near six o’clock, in a speech tempered with nullification, anti-abo lition, and other sentiments (it not extracts) from old speeches of Calhoun, Miller, and others of that school. After which, the Com mittee, by a vote of 92 to 86, agreed to the motion of Mr. Garland to strike out the enact ing clause, and reported the bill to the House. As soon as the Speaker took the Chair, Mr. Sherrod Williams called for the previous ques tion, which was sustained, and the question now being on ordering the bill to be engrossed and read a third time, Mr. IFise asked for a call of the House, which was ordered. After the call was gone through, and all the members except five found to be in atten dance. The question was then put, and_deeided in -nrgatinK A'yes ill,?favs 125. So the House have REJECTED THE SUB TREASURY BILL!!! The Vice President laid before the Senate, to day a communication from the Secretary of War, with a report from the Commissioner on Indian Affairs, in pursuance of a Senate reso hition, containing information as to the steps which have been taken by the Executive for exchanging land South West of the river Mis souri, for land owned by the Pottawatlomies and other Indians. Laid on the tabie and or dered to be printed. Alvo, from the Treasury Department, detail ed statements in part of the accounts of such collectors, receivers, and disbursers of the public money as have been reported to Con. gress, at its present session, as defaulters—of the accounts of the deficits respectively, of the credits obtained by such defaulters, with ex planations why these credits were not allow ed, &c. tec. &c. Mr. McKean presented a memorial from Pennsylvania, remonstrating against the exe cution of the Treaty of New' Echota, will’ '.he Cherokee Indians ; also several memorials on the subject of annexation of Texas, and aboli tion of slavery in the District of Columbia— all laid on tho table. Mr. Buchanan presented several memorials from Philadelphia, praying the immediate pas sage of the Sub-Treasury Bill; and remonstra ting against the establishment of a National Bank. Mr. Nicholas, from the Committee on Com morce reported a Bill authorizing vessels bound to the ports of Mexico, and excluded from them by blockade, to enter and secure their cargoes in the ports of the Ignited States. 'The resolution from the House of Represen tatives fixing upen the second Monday in July as the day of adjournment was taken up: and postponed till to-morrow. '1 ho Senate spent the remainder of the day in private business. M. WASHINGTON, June 26. 1838. I had the pleasure to announce to your rea ders, by the Express Mail yesterday, the sig. nal defeat of the Sub-Treasury Bill in the House of Representatives, by a majority of fourteei ! This glorious result has spread joy and exultation throughout the city. The an nouncement called out an enthusiastic burst of applause from the opponents of the measure, and from a crowded auditory in the galleries. From the moment the order was given fora call of the House, the Hall was a scene of great ankiety, until all the members in the city were got into their places. Mr- Jackson, of Georgia, who it was sup posed would vote against the bill, left the cily on Sunday for the Springs. Mr. Bruyn, of New York, is confined at his residence in his own State.—Mr. F. O- J Smith was ab sent, having gone to Europe. Mr. Ripley, of Louisiana, was absent from indisposition.— Mr. Lawler, dead. With the exception of these, every member of the House was present, and a morerolemn vote never was taken. You could hear every name distinctly responded to. The members kept their seats until they had voted, lest by any chance they might move be yond the bar, and lose their votes. To day, after the presentation of a few unim portaut petitions and memorials, Mr. Robertson, of Va. offered a resolution proposing a plan for <i Special Deposite System. Seutlis r » H i ® ♦ Mr. Cambreling objected, and that gro tesque personage, Mr. Petriken, of Peniisylva da, joined in his objections. Ho did not, for sooth, wai t a thing to enter in at the windows that could not come in at the door ! Mr Robeitson moved to suspend the rules, ind the q: esfion being taken by ayes and nays, the House refused tw suspend. Mr. Adams then resumed his remarks on the subject of the annexation of Texas to the Union, and spoke until the expiration of the hour, without concluding what he had to say on the q uest ion. THE SUB-TREASURY BILL ABANDONED ! The House being about to pass to the orders of the day. Mr. Foster, of New York, rose and moved to reconsider the vole by which the Sub-Trea sury7 Bill was rejected last evening. vr. Biiggs moved to lay’ the motion to re consider on the table. Mr. Mallory, of Virginia, took occasion to remark that he would vote against reconsider ing, as he had vol<d against the bill yesterday in compliance with the instructions oi his con stituents. Mr. Mason called upon Mr, Biiggsto with draw the proposition to lay 011 tho table, and allow a direct vole to be taken. Mr. Brings complied with the request. Mr. Sherrod Williams then moved the pre vious question, which was sustained. A call of the House was ordered, and there b ing a large atteiidai.ee of members, the question was put on agreeing to reconsidei, and negatived. Ayes 21, Noes 205!! So the Sub-Treasury has been rejected and abandoned. Mr. Kennedy, of Maryland, and Mr. Thomp son, of South Carolina, successively proposed resolutim s in relation to the use of bakkp as depositories, and the reception of bank notes; but the House refused to suspend the rules. 'I he House resolved itself into Committee of the W hole, and took up the bill to increase the Military Establishment of the United States. In the Semite, to-day, Mr. Webster gave no tice that he would to morrow, move to lake up the bill introduced by him, in regard to the use of banks as depositories of the public money, and the reception of notes of banks issuing notes of a denomination kss than five dollars. O.i motion of Mr. B.ichauan, the Senate took up the Joint Resolution fre-m the House fixing the second Monday in July, for termin ating the present jession. Mr. Benton objected to binding the Senate to a particular day fur closing the Session, lest many important bills now mentioned should be lost for want of lime, to act upon them. He moved to postpone the resolution, till Monday next; and demanded the Ayes, and Nays. Mr. Buchanan replied: and after some dis cussion the question was put, on postponing the resolution and negatived. Ayes, B. Nays, 39. The question then recurring on the adoption of the resolution, was carried in the affirma tive without a division. So tho ninth day of July is fixed on as the day of adjournment. After the disposal of some private bills, Mr. Buchanan rose and made a demonstration, which deserves particular attention. He in troduced a bill purporting to be supplementary to the Act entitled. “An act to establish the Treasury and which is in facta proposition for a system of special Specie De posites. The le enueis 10 be collected under the order of the Secretary of the Treasury: and the money placed in special deposite in specie at regular terms : and those bank bills which shall be reserved and not disbursed, shall after sixty days be converted into specie, and that placed in special deposite. The bill further provides that after a limited time, no notes shall be received of banks that issue bills under ten dollars; and after another limited period, no notes of a less denomination than twenty dollars. This measure was read twice and referred. It will not fail to attract the attention of the country, that the introduction of this measure wtis contempdrafieous with the entire aban donment of the ■Bb-Treasury Bill by the House. The remainder of the day was spent on pri vate bills. M. Washington, June 27th, 1838. In the Senate, to day, Mr. Webster called up the bill introduced by him some days ago, to which the attention of } our readers has been repeatedly drawn, making provisions in regard to the use of Banks as depositories of the Government, and thv receipt of notes of banks which have issued bills of a less deno mination than five dollars. Mr. Webster expounded and advocated at considerable length the different provisions of the measure : and urged its adoption as neces sary to give effect to the Joint Resolution (re pealing the Specie Circular of July 1836.) which had been passed, and to restore the country to the condition in which it was be fore that order was issued. The bill.be said, would facilitate the measures of the States and of the banks for the resumption of specie payments: and would tend to bring back the Government in its financial administration to their ancient customs—old forms—and estab. Itslied usages, the departure from w hich has brought so much distress and embarrassment on the country. Mr. Buchanan then rose, and moved that his bill, of which I gave a brief account yes terday, be received as a substitute for Mr. Webster’s bill. Ho went into an elaborate exposition and defence of the substitute, and opposed the original bill. He declared that he brought forward his scheme on his own responsibility alone, and without concert with the Administration. He expressed the conviction that the Sub-Treasu ry Bill could not possibly be passed then, nor for two or three years. And maintained that Congress should not adjourn without doing something to regulate and control the finances bylaw. Mr. Strange next took the floor, and threw cold water upon Buchanan’s proposition. He hoped the friends ot the Administration would not connect themselves to any such measure ; and then followed a speech in the true non committal style. Were the field open, he said, he would prove Buchanan’s measure exceed ingly inefficient—he would say it was calcu lated to do little good. He, however, had no idea it would have been presented as a substi tute for Mr. Webster’s bill. Ho wanted time for constipation and reflection, and therefore, said he, I will move to lay it on the table, and will not withdraw the motion for any man. Mr. Buchanan asked him sharply whether he would call it up to morrow. Strange replied that he would not: but might call it up on the day after. Jfr. Buchanan then said he would himself cull it up to morrow, 1 he hill was then laid on the table. After the presentation of a few petitions, memorials, and resolutions of little or no im portance, the Senate proceeded to the consid eration ot bills of a private and local charac ter :- and was engaged in business of that cha racter during the remainder of the sitting. In the House of Representatives, on mo tion of Mr. Howard, a resolution was adopt ed requiring the Committee on Public Build ings, to procure an estimate of the expense of ventilating the British House of Commons, and to report, by next session, on the practi cability of applying the same plan to the Hall of the House of Representatives. TEXAS. The report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs asking to be discharged from the lur ther consideration of the subject, came up as the unfinished business. Mr. Adams being entitled to the floor was about to resume his remarks, when, at the so •icitati ill of several members, he gave way, in order that reports might be received from Committees. Mr. Adams, himself from the Committee on Manufactures, repotted a bill for the remission of duty-oh all Iron imported for the construc tion of iron steam boats. It was read tw ice, and referred to the Committee of the Whole. Nons of the other reports possessed any re markable interest. The House then resolved itself into Com mittee of the Whole, and resumed the consid eration of the Senate Bill for increasing the Military Establishment of the United States. M. 'Vashington. June 28th, IS3S. In the Senate, to day, there was a most in teresting and animated discussion on the fi nancial questions of the day. Mr. Strange called up the bill introduced by Mr. Webster, in relation to the use of Banks as depositories, and the receipt of notes of banks, which issue bil : s of a denomination less than five dollars. The question being on the adoption of the bill proposed by Mr. Buchanan, as a substi tute for'he original bill. Mr. Calhoun rose, and opposed the propo sition of Mr. Buchanan at great length. He said he would not support either the original measure, or the substitute : but if one of them was to be passed he would much prefer Mr. Webster’s, because the responsibility ought to rest on the opposition. Another reason was, that the substitute enlarges the discretion of the Executive, and leaves the banks without the restraint of law, while that of Mr. Web ster, though objectionable to him. in other res pects, pul (he banks under the control of law ; and was therefore preferable. AZr. Caih aiii remonstrated earnestly against raising any intermediate issue ; and argued that the only safety for the Administration, was to adhere to the high ground they had as sumed of a Divorce; and that to lower their position would be only to distract the commu 1 mty. Mr. Buchanan replied, defending his propo sition, and controverting the views and argu -1 meats of Mr. Calhoun, After seme explanations between these gen tlemen. Mr. Grundy rose, and said he felt under his instructions b?tmd to vote against the substi tute offered by Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Clay then addressed the Senate in oppo sition to the substitute, and in favor of Mr. Webster’s measure. Mr. Strange followed with an elaborate Speech on the general subject, and expressing his conviction that the Sub Treasury scheme was the only measure, which could be perma nently beneficial, yet said he would go for Mr. Buchanan’s substitute. <0 render some modifi ca'ions, as a temporary remedy. After he finished, the bill was laid aside till to morrow, on motion of Mr. Webster. The Senate then went into the considera ticnof private bills: and was occupied with business of that character during the remain der of the silting. In the Houseof Representatives, after pre sentation of several memorials, petitions, dec.’ the consideration of the Report of the Com mittee on Foreign Affairs, relative to the an nexation of Texas, was resumed. Mr. Adams occupied the w hole of the mor ning hour, with a continuation of his speech 0:1 the subject, and then the House resolved it self into committee of the wholevand took up the army bill: which after a long considera tion was reported'to the House : uud will pro bably be disposed of finally to morrow. It i« now set if. d, that tha Cabinet will be entirely re-organized after the cluse of the ses sion. There bus been the greatest difficulty in obtaining a competent person to lake the of. ficecf Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Buc. hatian, of Pa., has refused the offer of that de. partmeut. M. OUR CHEROKEE AFFAIRS. The Southern Recorder, of last Tuesday, contains the following gratifying informa tion. From the following despatches it will be seen with unmingled gratification, by every Georgian, that our Indian difficulties have been brought to a happy conclusion, and that most of the Georgia troops are about to be hon orably discharged from service, having per formed the duty for which they were organ ized giving possession of the country to our citizens. We have only space to renew our hearty congratulations to the citizens of the State, that our Indian troubles are at last closed we may hope forever. Head Quarters, Middle Military District, ) New- Echota, 18th June, 1838. $ Sir:—l have the pleasure to inform your Excellency, that I am now fully convinced there is not an Indian within the limits of my command, except a few in my possession, who will be sent to Ross’ landing to morrow. My scouting parties have scoured the w hole conn try, w ithout seeing an Indian, or late signs. If there be any stragglers in Georgia, they must be in Union or Gilmer counties, and near the Tennessee and North Carolina line ; but none can escape the vigilance of our troops. Georgia is ultimately iu possession of her rights in the Cherokee country—and her citi zens unanimously concur with' your Excellen cy in the determination to defend them. '1 he removal of the Indians from Tennessee, North Carolina, and Alabama, commenced on the 12th inst. They are yielding quietly to the troops, and no difficulty whatever is ap prehended. '1 he Georgia Brigade w ill s®on be dis charged from the service of the United States. With high respect, Your ob’t servant, CHARLES FLOYD. Brig. Gen. G. M., Com. Mid Military Dis His Excellency G. R. Gilmer, Governor of Georgia. HEAD QUARTERS. Eastern Division Cherokee Agency, ) June 17, 1838.' \ The removal oflndians, for emigration from the Middle District, late Cherokee country, being nearly or quite completed, arrangements w ill be commenced at once for the honorable discharge and payment of the volunteers and militia in the service of the United States with in that district. For these purposes, Brigadier Gen. Floyd, will as fast as the state of the service w ill per mit, cause those troops to be assembled at one or more points as, after consulting with Major Payne, the acting Inspector General, may be suitable or convenient. 7’he latter in mustering out of service, will call to his aid Major Fauntleroy, of the U. 8. Army, and give all orders for securing the public property of every description—as well as (after consulting Brig. Gen. Floyd) the arms and accountrements belonging to State ot Georgia. Major Payne may also cause to be sold and accounted fir, such property in the 1 Quarter-master’s and Commissary department I as may be advantageous to the United States to sell. Acting Paymasters Bennet and Buck, will immediatey repair to the Middle District to pay off the troops as fast as they are disehag ed in the best money they may be able to com mand. The Commander in the Eastern District will as soon as he can dispense with their ser vices, order the Georgia companies at Chas, tain and Fort Newnan, to report to Brigadier Gen. Floyd for discharge with the other Geor gia troops. Captain Cleveland’s company at Dahlohne ga, will be discharged at the discretion of Brigadier Gen. Eustis, giving notice Jo the Paymasters above-mentioned ; and he Will re tain Captain Derrick’s company of Georgians for further orders. Brigadier Gen, Floyd, it is hoped will re main in service, until the business of his Dis trict shall be entirely completed. He, his staff the officers and men of the Georgia line, will please accept the thanksof the United States, for the promptitude zeal, and humanity they have almost universally displayed in the dis cliarge'of their painful duties. The only ex ception to this just commendation, is the de. tachment ordered to Chastains, and in its course the delays and disorders committed, are no doubt, mainly to be attributed to the mis conduct. of the Lieutenant Colonel, w iio has since resigned. The Brig. Gen. himself has exhibited a degree of intelligence, decision and method, which would do credit to any ser vice. By command of Major Gen. Scott, (Signed) W. J. WORTH Lieut.

The “National Intelligencer,’* speaking oft the efforts which were made to secure the 1 passage of the Sub-Treasury Bill, by the Ad- j ministration, holds the following lang iago: | It is reported, and is believed, that greater* efforts were made, by direct overtures from men in high places, to Members of Congress, to induce them to give their support to the Sub- Treasury bill, than have ever been made in fa vor of any measure depending in Congress. It is honorable to the independence and the firm, ness of the umpires on this question, (just about numerous enough in the House of Representa tives to constitute a jury in a court of law,) that they resisted whatever inducements or solicitations were addressed to them, and fol lowed the dictates of their consciences rather than the suggestions which it Would have been more their interest to have listened to. It is told by Bishop Burnet, in the history of his own times, that James 11. King of Eng land introduced the practice of closeting, by inviting Members of Parliament, individually, to conferences with him. In these conferen ces, by every argument at his command, he enjwned it upon those Members to change their religion, and come over to his Church, In the course of this plan cf operating upon Members of Parliament, lie sent for one, by name Colonel Kirk, who is represented to have had almost no religion at all, and besought hiirf to embrace bis M ijesty’s religion. The Co lonel answered ihe King, that he would most cheerfully comply with his wish, but that when he commanded at Tangier (at some pre, ceding time) be had promised the Grand Seign ior that, if ever he did change his religion, lire would turn Turk. Whether nny of die gen. tiemen said to have been closeted on the recent occasion gave to the closet-ers any such r“e buffs as Col. Kirk administered to his Royal Majesty, we cannot say ; but the state of tho vote on the bill at least shows that they refused ta change their (political) religion upon sohe. itation. Can a dr?.' B< !<>w will be found the latest intellgenco from the disturbances in Canada, which have recently broke forth again. Experience bus taught us that little reliance is to be placed in the various rumors which are circulated by either party in these struggles; and hence, in giving them to our readers we feel it our duty to remark that they should be received with much allowance ; and assuring them, that tho only (hit g of which we are certain, is that the disturbances have been renewed. From the New York Daily Express. FROM UPPER CANADA. The Lewiston Telegraph of the 23d, con firms the account of the battle at ‘’Short Hills.” An engagement took place last nigh*, at the Short Hills, Niagara District, IT. C., between the Patriots and a company of the Queen’s Lancers. The Short Hills are thirteen miles from Niagara Falls, and comprise u district of uneven surface, covered with tli'ck woods and swamps, and admirably adapted *0 that spe. cies of warfare which the Patriots seem to have adopted. It is inhabited by men of de. termined character and liberal principles, and we have long expected an outbreak in that quarter. A company of the Queen’s Lnncers were sent into that quarter a week ngo, to put clown any demonstration of patriotism. This mor nit g at ten o’clock an express arrived at Nia. gtira, who stated that the whole company had been surprised, and after a l >ss of several killed, all who survived were taken prisoners. The report was first doubted, and a gentle, m in of the highest respectability went over to Queenston to Ascertain its truth. Cap*. Palmer, the commander at that place idmilted that there had been a skirmish be. tween ten of the Lancers and two hundred patriots, in which the former lost their horses and equipments, and were all taken prisoners, Jxut-Jkw-04-0 i.UwswwiJb r*-ki .* |, rf. - The leader of the Patriots is said to be Sa. mue! Ch am idler. We believe that the whole company of Lnnccrehave been taken prisoners, and retain, cd as such. Philip Bender was the only man who escaped ; he was wounded i.i the I g. McLeod is stated to be one of the Patriot Leaders, and Sa nuel C. Fn y is a 1 so supposed to be am»ng them. For the last ten days the Canadian Refugees have been retaining by night in small parlii s, and we have understood their rendezvous to be at the Short Hills. This morning 110 regulars and some volun teers were ordered from Ch ppawa and Drum mondsville in that district, but as the Patriots have now commenced the war, the woods are alive with them, mid the regulars will probably, all be cut to pieces within twenty four hours. All this news however, needs confirmation. From the Jacksonville Courier, June 21 ANO THER INDIAN FIGHT. 4 p. m.—By the Steamer Santee we have just received intelligence of a battle with the Indians,on day before yesterday, within a few miles of Newnansviile. Capt. Beal of tho Dragoons, with 30 or 40 men, Lieut. Ho We of the same corps, with 12 men, and Capt, Walker a volunteer, fell in with a body o» about 60 Indians, who gave them a warm sa lute. Walker was killed, and sos Beal’s com mand were woiaidcd. Five horses were kill ed; —irniong them Beal’s and Howe’s. Sev eral Indians said to be killed. Gen. Taylor with six companies of men arrived yesterday nt Black Creek,and we trust he will soon teach the savages better manners than to crowd themselves thus into civiiizeti society. By a very serious and unfortunate disap pointment, we have not been able to publish our paper since week before last. We haver much important matter on baud, which we hope to give the public in all erf this week. The following from the St, Augustine Her ald, confirms « hat we have heretofore publish ed i ST. AUGUSTINE, June 16. By nn officer of the army who arrived from Fort King on Thursday last, we learn that the Indians have destroyer! the bridge across the Withlacoochee, and set tire "to another, but a heavy shower prevented it from extending. Gen. Taylor had arrived at Micanopy, whb twelve companies of Infantry, from Tampa. Lt. Col. Harney of the 2d Dragoons, has re ceived orders to repair forthwith to Micanopy, to join Gen. 'Taylor. He kft this city yester day for that post. Ttie editor of the New York Herald, in ono ; of his recent letters from London, says: ‘•Anew mode of applying steam has been invented, which will do away with horse pow. or entirely on canals. On the day of the launch last week, a small boat of "forty tons was passing the river,without paddles or sails. I She had a high pressure engine on board ; and ■ there she went through the water, puff, puff, ppufl, puff, without indicating any other symtom of motive power, or even a single ripple di*. I turbtng her course. “ It seems that she has under her bottom a single paddle, in the shape of a screw, with one turn only. Io this screw is given a rota, ry motion by the steam engine—and its motion [ propels herthrough the water, a ilhout creating j a single ripple on the surface around the boat, iAn experiment was made List week on the I Surry Curial, and it sfiicccttlcd beyond all
