Having already observed that general Gibson had made some alteration in his first deposition, it is necessary, for a correct knowledge and ex planation of this subject, to refer to his second deposition, as it appeared in the Intelligencer ol the loth March. In this it is stated, that Mr. Burrill and the chairman had refused to let him add to his statement two lettfersdhat he consider ed necessary to illustrate the subject. It is true that general Gibson was told, might strike out what he thought proper front the deposition, but he could not add any nevY ‘farts, for that could only he done by a majority *o# a committe when authorized to call for and Examine witness es; that the committee on the subjeot of the Semi nole war, having made their report, was out of ex istence, and no power remained with those mem bers who had composed that committee more than any others of the senate. General Gibson then stated, that “he had given die letters in ques tion to Mr. Eaton, of the committee, some con siderable time before, and requested him to Jay them before the committee and have them aty tached to his deposition.” General Gibson ws*6 then informed that “no such letters had been put in possession qf the committee by Mr. EatoA.” This conversation took place in thd secretary’s office, while the senate was in session. Ojf my return to the senate chamber, Mr. Eaton was asked by me, privately, whether or not such let ters had been received by him from general Gib son; he said, “they had , and he had misthought proper to lay them before the committee.” All those facts relative to the letters were afterwards stated by me, in my place, when ijv senate was in session; and Mr. Eaton was palled upon to state whether he had not received such letters and withheld them from the committee; and he stated to the senate that he had, and that he never had submitted them to the committee. Thus it will appear, that, so far from refusing to admit the introduction of those papers into the state ment of gen. Gibson, the committee never knew of their existence until after the report was made. It. is but fair to observe, that general Gibson has been long knowryto me, and no one is more wil ling to to his correctness as an officer, and private yCrth as a man; and it is confidently believed, tJfat, when convinced of the fact, that he has charged the committee w ith an impro priety/of conduct, that, if improper, can hut at laclvto a single member, he wili rejoice at hav ingan opportunity of correcting the error. In a postcript to the strictures, it is stated that general Jackson told a member of the commit tee. that he was willing to go before them and disclose all the documents in his possession. If general Jackson did say this to a member, it must have been designed as an insult to the com miitee and to the senate; he must have consid ered that body in the light of subalterns in the ar my, and he therefore condescends to tell them that he is ’willing to appear before their committee. That committee was vested by the senate with full power to call every officer in the govern ment before them, and it was not necessary for the general to have given this evidence of his great condescension, to have put them in mind ol the extent of their powers, or their obligations of du ty to the senate. The reasons for not calling general Jackson before the committee, were of a different charac ter, arising from the peculiar situation in which he officially stood, and his connection with the subject of enquiry. But, if the general was wil ling to disclose other documents to the committee, why were not those documents transmitted to the executive department ot the government and filed in the war office, from which they might have been obtained; or, arc we left to presume that general Jackson is in possession of facts of an official nature, that he will not condescend to lay before the president of the United States, to whom he should feel hiiftself responsible for his conduct? There is one charge in the strictures that ap plies exclusively to the chairman of the commit tee —that of being a partner with the contractor; the fallacy of this charge, as well as its deliberate design to inflict a private injury on a man, whose only offence was an independent discharge of of ficial duties, is fully proven by the annexed deposition of the contractor himself,col. Benjamin G. Orr, who is now the mayor of the city of Washington. I shall now close these observations, which have been extorted from me by the peculiar and virulent character of the strictures in question, and the source from whence they emanated. It is hoped, for the honor of the nation, as it is the fu st, that it may he the last occasion may occur, tp impose a similar duty on a member of the national legislature: that in future no military officer of government, cither humble or exalted, will so far lose sight of the duty and respect due to the civil authorities of the nation, as to fall into similar errors; and, if reason were for a moment allowed to assume its empire in the minds of the most violent among them, it would he discover ed, that inevitable disgr :c to the individual con cerned would he the consequence of such meas ures, perhaps the prostration of the army, whose very existence docs and ought to depend on a con viction in the public mind, that the military de partment of the government is subject to and sub ordinate to the civil powers. While this principle is practically observed by the officers of the army, that l'>i’ becomes dangerous to public liberty, and otig ,t and should be reduced. „ These observations arise not, as is alledged, from “splenetic hostility to the army,” but with a sincere desire to preserve and make it useful; and time will discover unless a change of conduct is observed, that from the deadliest enemies bf the army, arc to he found some of the officers who command it. And under these impressions, and in the spirit of sincere friendship to those officers, the writer ventures to tender to them this honest advice: That they chasten and moderate their tempers, and restrain die violence of their lage against the civil officers of government, and, in-*“ stead ol tufting off’ the members of congress, sharpen their swords to meet their country’s enemies in the fl '" ,r shall be so directed by the civil /ioiucr\ Let them “cease to do evil, and learn to do good;” never forgetting that they too are subject to Icgalxontrol, and but at best “ subordinate ” servants polit ical household. f If this advice be taken, their former tran-.gres* sionsmay he forgiven and forgotten by a magnan imous people, who still remember, with gratitude and pride, their former services. But ■: .;us i wholesome and friendly advice he disregarded; and if, in despite of the dictates of prudence and reason* they will persevere in this career of mad ness and felly, they must perish in their military sins, and will, perhaps when it is too late, he fully convinced that it would have contributed to th.dr true interest and honor, to have listened to and followed the frank and candid admonitions of their friend, Sic. • \ A. L.vcoc.;. Extract from the journal of the senate. Wednesday, Feb. 17, 1819. Mr. Lacock submitted the following motion: Resolved, that a nu rftber he added to the com mittee already, appointed on the subject of the Seminolie war, in the place of Mr. Forsyth, who has recently been appointed \o a foreign mission. On motion of Mr. Eaton, That the further consideration thereof he post poned until the sth day of March next. It was determined in the negative: y as, 16—nays, 2 1 .

The motion having been agreed to—-Ordered, that Mr. Eppes he the member. Washington County, District of Columbia, to nit: Personally appeared before the subscriber, a jus tice of the peace for the county aforesaid, Benjamin G. Orr, and made oath on the Holy Evangelists of Almighty God, that Abner Lacock, esq. late a senator from the state of Pennsylvania, was not directly nor indirectly concerned with him in any contract which he has had with the war department, at any time, and particularly with that for die state of Georgia, which the author of the strictures on the report of the select committee, says “it has been intimated that.” he “was interested” in, neither was his son at all concerned furtherthanas an agent, at a stated salary per annum. The deponent further says, that, a few days prior to the appearance of the “strictures,” in conversation with gen. Jackson, on the subject of the report of the com mittee of the senate, he was asked by the general, if Mr. Lacock, who had been bis agent at Fort Scott, was the son of the senator of that name, and on being an swered in the affirmative, lie furdier asked, if he might so state it; the deponent replied, that as a fact, he m ght dispose of it as he pleased; but that he could not per ceive any connection between it and the subject of the report of the committee; and, having been told that morning that a suspicion was entertained that gen. La cock had been a partner in his Georgia contract, the de ponent took that opportunity of assuring gen. Jacks’ n that it was wholly without foundation, which the gen r al admitted he had been apprised of. And further this deponent saitli not. Sworn before me, this 17th day cf March, 1819. JOSEPH FORREST. Hoax. —One of those most contemptible at tempts at w it, generall) called a hoax, the author of which, if discovered, would be well rewarded for his ingenuity by public flagellation, was on Christmas-day played off’ on the family of Mr. S , a respectable inhabitant of VValcot piacc, Lambeth. At an early hour in the orning, the house was alarmed by the cries and knocking of three different chimney sweepers, all of whom j had received orders to attend at the same time. These were scarcely dismissed, when two post chaises, provided no doubt by the same kind friend, came to take Mr. Sand family out of town. The post hoys, more in dudgeon than the animals they drove, reluctantly turned from the door, tl.e knocker of which, for some hours after, scarcely rested a minute, for the numerous applications of tradesmen applying for orders and delivering goods.
