Correspond? ics of the Charleston Courier. Washington, January I, 1840. I look, with some solicitude, to the next meet ing of tin House, on Friday, by an order, al ready adopted, petitions are to bv received from the several Slates, the call commencing with Main . I'he nu nber of aholiti »n petitions ready to be poured in trom the eastern States is very great. There is n > restraint whatever, upon tlnar introduction, rea ling, reference, or discussion.— They will he discussed; and. as you may imag ine. the debate cm t ho very temperate or order ly. Ii is unfortunate that same rule was not a 'opted to prev. m the agitation of this subject; but it appears that, from want of concert, an- di versity of opinion, it he very dillic l! U‘ bring the House to any particular rule. A large ma- | parity of tlu House are openly in favor of the propsition of Mr. Chinn, of Loulsana. to refer the petitions, without debate, to a Select Com niettec, with the undersl- nding that the Com mittce shall be composed chiefly of Southern men. un i nuke a strong and satisfactory repoit against the object of the petitioners. Bat this mode ac kn nvledgea the right of Congress to act on the subject; it permits the reception and the consid eration of the petitions, and may serve only to encourage instead of checking the progress of fanaticism. An assuit upon tho independence of the Fed eral Judiciary is seriously meditated. Mr. Tap pan, of Ohio. has proposed, in the Senate, to amend the Constitution s > as to Until the term of the Judges to seven years. Should this innova tion he allowed, the term will soon be reduced to one year; and the Federal Courts will become the loot-hall of parly. Tallahassee, Dec. 23. On Thursday of last week a party of Indians attacked a wagon on the Federal road, near the Ocilla river, lired on the driver and guard, wounding two men and killing anotl er. Three were on the road loaded with provisions—the horses were detached, and the drivers and guard lied, leaving the wagons unprotected. Fortu nately they were not discovered by the Indians, and their contents remained unmolested. The guard we are informed have since been dismissed from the service. On Saturday night last, the dwelling of Maj. J. S. Taylor, about six miles from Montioello was attacked by Indians and burnt to the ground. Tho family made their excape.— Floriduan. Latest form Canton.— The ship Morris on, at New York, brings advices from Canton to the 271 h July. The difficulties at Canton had icceived no modification whatever, but wcic rather increasing ■nJ it is thought foreign trade will be entirely' impended soon, and that further serious interrup tions to tranquilly will occur. Foreigners of all nations (save a few Americans.) bad left Canton with all their equipage, either lor their respective countries or Macao. From the Philadelphia United States Gazette. Cairo.— W e take pleasu ein giving place to the following, for it show s, that uotw iiuaianduig tho “state ol the tunes, ’ one ol the most impor tant enterprises of the age is rapidly progressing, and alfords employment to a targe number o hands. The immense result cannot be doubted, with the capital at tlie command of the company judiciously expended, “Extract from a letter dated Cairo, Illinois, (mouth of the Ohio,) November, 1839 : > I have been waiting here at this (will be) « “queen of cities,’ with a host of travellers, lor transhipment to various parts of the country.

Cmiallcis boats an hsre takes for tha Upper Miasis»ippi and mo 1 Ohio, and for the tributaiy streams of those two • great highways. , . . . 1 This place, with the aid of English capital, is I now raoidly progressing with its improvements. —Already saw-milU. foundries, machine and workshop's, dwellings and stores, of various de tcriptioßs. give indication of the neurleus o a great .and prosperous city. Certainly there is no position in the whole West where the mechanic arts can bo carried on with more success, espc ciallv the manufacture of iron, ship and steam boat build in t, and every branch ol business con nected with iron woilt. The 1 ennessee river supplies the pig metal at 33 per cent, less than it can be sent to Pittsburgh, and bituminous coal, equal to any in the country, is to be had within a day ’s distance. The possession of these two im portant staple articles, with the finest timber in the greatest abundance, cannot fail to make Cai ro the manufacturing as well as the commercial emporium of western America. Among the thousand travellers detained here from day t* day. there is hut one opinion express ed. that ‘ the liberal and extensive plans of oper ation adopted by the company being carried out, will in ten years give a population to the plais equal to any city in the west; that in time it can have no rival either in commerce or manufac tures.” The Army and Navy Chronicle says: “Me learn with regret that Paymaster IL A. Forsyth was dismissed from the Army a few days since, by order of the President of the L. fe., for a de falcation of about 515.000 in his accounts. “liy resignation and death, and consequent promotion, all the field olficers of the 4lh regi ment of infantry were changed within three days —a remarkable event that may not occur once in 20 or 30 y ears, in time of peace. Col. • ummings. vice Cutler, resigned. c « Incut. Col. (fiirland. vice Foster, deceased. Major Stamford, vice Kiley, promoted. In reference to the numerous paragraphs that have appeared in many papers, to the chert that a court martial was about to sit in Philadelphia, lor the trial of Com. Elliott, the Chronicle em phatically says that no court marital has yet been ordered. More Steamboat Disasters. —The Knic kerbocker struck a snag near the mouth ot the Ohio Dec. 10th, and fortunately fell in with a keel boat, which saved the passengers. She than sank; cargo lead; th ce-fourths of vvicli ($15.- 000) is insured at Louisville. Tae Gen. Gaine.- was snagged on t e Ohio near the Wabash.— The Return, with a heavy height of cotton snag ged and sank, at the mouth of Yazoo river. Power of Steam. —The power of steam in its application to rapid traveling on railroads, is familiar to all readers. The Philadelphia U. S. Gazette mentions a recent instance of its power; in the transport ition of an immense load, which deserves to be noticed. On Monday last, a loco motive constructed by Messsrs. Easterrich & Harrison of that city, conveyed on the Railroad from Reading to Philadelphia a train of sixty nine cars, laden with flour and iron, the gross weight of which was three hundred tons.— Among the items of the load were 1400 barrels of flour. Mvrriaoe of the Qitef.n or England.— On the 23d of November an “Extraordinary Ga zelle” was published in London, containing the following declaration of Queen Victoria to the Privy Council, that she is about to take unto herself a spouse. “ I have caused you to he summoned at the present time in order that 1 may acquaint you with rny resolution in a matter which deeply con cerns the welfare of my people and the happiness of my future life. “ It is my intention to ally mvself in marriage with the Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and Go tha.. “ Deeply impressed with tho solemnity of the i engagement which lam about to contract, I ha-e 1 not come to this decision without mature consid eration. nor without feeling a strong assurance that with the blessing of Almghty God, it will at once secure my domestic ftlicity, and serve the interests of my country. “I have thought fit lo make this resolution known to you at the earliest period, in order (hat you may Ire fully apprised ot a matter so hi-ihly ■, important to me *nd my kingdom, and which I persuade myself will be most acceptable to ail my loving subjects.” Whereupon all the Privy Councillors present made their humble request to her Majesty, that her Majesty’s most gracious declaration to them might he made public; which her Majesty was pleased to order accordingly. The Vicksburg Sentinel of the 14lh December states that the Marshal of Mississippi, has seized on a large amount of funds the property of the Brandon Bank, levied on to pay the debt due to Messrs. Dennistonn. of New Orleans. It ap pears that a short time ago the Brandon Hank hail ordered the President of the Bank of Lex ington. J. De W. Smith, to draw 5150,000. at tho North, being the balance of iis cotton funds. The marshal understanding this to be the case, and acting by evidence of council proceeded to Jackson, where he broke open the vaults of the Planters’ Bank, and look therefrom 538,000 in specie, being a spe ial deposit to the credit of said Smith. Returning to Vicksburg, the Marshal, after apprising Smith of his object, broke open rinilli’s trunks, and took therefrom. s6.uno in notes, belonging to the Brandon Bank. Deputy marshals were sent to New Orleans ami else where to seize money belonging to the Brandon Bank, which, with the above already secured, will mike <he sum of $75,000. Steps are also to be taken to procure the refunding of SBO,OOO. said to have been paid over by Smith to Col. Shelton, formerly President of the Brandon I Bank. The Editor of tke Army 6c Navy Chronicle states that he has seen a living specimen of the honud frog, whose existence was many years ago strongly doubted. The body resembles that ot a trog. and is about tho same size. Gut the skin is like that of he lizard—scaly— and it has a tail, halt as long as the b dy. tapering to a point. It was in rather a torpid slate, the climate being too cold fur it. This frog was brought .rom Fort Towson, by Lieut, Willot Martin, of the 3d infantry, as a present fiom an officer stationed there to Col, Hook of Washington. No less than twenty-eight printers lost their lives at Fannin’s massacre in Texas, Printers are always among the first to dip into any art ur where the liberties of their fellow men are at stake, or the yoke of an oppressor needs to be broken.— Picayune.
