SubmarineArchitcclure.--We have never
had an opportunity of inspecting a more
remarkable triumph of art than the oper
ation ofbuilding massy stone piers in the
bed of the Potomac, now going on near
Georgetown, at the expenseofthe Alex
andria Canal Company, under lhe direc
tion of Capt. Turnbull, of the U. S. Topo
graphical Engineers. We yesterday paid
a visit to the work, and found it to surpass
our previous conception of it, as well in
regard o the magnitude oi the enterprise
as to the ingenuity by which very formida
ble obstacles have been overcome. These
piers, the reader must understand, are to
support an aqueduct, or canal, being a
branch of the Chesapeake and Ohio Can
al, which is to cross the river in this man
ner on its way to Alexandria. It is truly a
stupendous undertaking, with no parallel
in this country, and, we believe, scarcely
equalled in any other. The pier which
is begun is the second from the Alexan
drian (or Virginia) shore; the first beinsr
the next to be built. The foundation of
this pier is on lhe rock, and the structure
is of solid masonry, formed of very lar fe e
blocks of excellent stone from the Falls
quarries,skilfully laid in water cement. To
accomplish this object, a vast coffer-dam
has been constructed, the interior ol which
is about eighty feet long and nearly thir
ty feet wide, The depth of water to be
shut out by this dam is 18 feet, and the
depth of mud below thatdipth of water,
which mud it was necessary also to re
move, was more than 17 feet, so that the
building was begun at a depth of thirty
seven feet below the surface of the v» ater
Notwithstanding whic' , sosucci ssful had
been the preparations for resisting the
vast external pressure of water, that the i
rocky bottom was laid bare the whole ex
tent of the area enclosed, and even swept
clean and dry with brooms before the ce
ment was applied, in which, a few days
ago, the first course of stone was laid. The
length of the pier now building is at the
base sixty six feet, running in its length
with the current and the tide; its precise
breadth we do not remember, but it must
be something over 15 feet. The mason
work of the pier is going on rapidly anil
successfully. It had yesterday reached
above 10 feet in height from the bottom.
The whole number ol these piers (some
ofthem even larger than this) is to be
eight, besides the end piers or abutments;
and upon them the Canal is to be carried,
at an elevation oftbirty feet above the lev
el of the river.
We have given this sketch of a very re
markable work, in our immediate vicini
ty, first,because it is remarkable;secondly
to express our admiration of the spirit of
the town of Alexandria in persevering in
this undertaking of hers in defiance ofall
obstacles; and, thirdly, that we may give
the credit due to the accomplished Engi
neer, who labored so untiringly in carry
ing on this operation, and has now the
-gratification of rejoicing in its success.He
is ably assisted in this duty at present by
Lieut. Ewing of the Artillery, now on to
pographical duty.— Nat. Intell,
It is fresh in the recollection of our rea
ders that the firmness with which Hugh
L. White sustained by his votes, and vin
dicated by his eloquence,the leading meas
ures of the present administration previ
ous to his being nominated a candidate
for President, often subjected him to the
bitterest denunciations and the most op
probrious epithets from Nullifiers and
modern whigs,indiscriminately. Circum
cumstances have changed, however,with
in a few months past, and it may be in
structing perhaps to spend a moment in
contrasting things as they were twelve
months ago, with the aspect they are
made to exhibit at the present moment.
At the former period, the Proclama
tion, in the language of the nullifiers, was
the edict of a tyrant, a bold and unprinci
pled attack on the Constitution and liber
ties of the country, defended only by the
panders of power and lhe submissive in
struments ol usurped authority. Hugh
L. White gave to the proclamation his
cordial and unwavering support and par
ticipated largely in the abuse bestowed on
its advocates. Then came the Force Bill
—the Bill of Blood, as it was styled—the I
Bill, that in the language of nullification,
unsheathed the sword, and presented a
dagger to the bosoms of free men, with
the alternative of slavery or death. The
President who recommended it, was de
nounced as a remorseless tyrant end u
surper,—a Nero,a Caligula, a Dyonisius
who had cloven down the liberties of his
country, and who thirsted for the blood
ofhis couutymen. The Legislators who
supported the bill by their votes, Judge
White among the number, came in for a
full share of these epithets;—nor were
their denunciations any less violent a
gainst the protest or against those who
sustained it.
The country was made to ring from
one end to the other with infiamatory ap
peals to the people, Judge White who
defended the President with zeal and a
bility, in tho Senate of the U. States, was
peculiarity obnoxious to the oppo-
B t;on. He.was particularly designated
by the Charleston Mercury, and other or
■ gans of the party,as a mean man worship
per,’ a ‘‘pliant and submissive instru
ment and tool of the Executive,” in an un
princilped crusade against constitutional
liberty All the stores of Billingsgate
and ail the sluices of detraction were let
loose on his devoted head. But suddenly
as it were by enchantment in midst of
the storm of wrathful denunciation, the
elements became composed. The thun
ders that had shaken the political hemis
phere rolled heavily but faintly in the dis
tant horizon, and in a few days all was
calm. In the meantime the Alabama
nomination had been made—the caucus
of the Tennessee members of Congress
had been held at Washington—arrange
ments, the particulars of which have not
yet seen the light, had been made, the pro
clamation the bloody bill and the protest
were forgotton; and Judge White pro
nounced by the opposition, “an available
candidate” for the Presidency. Then it
was that the Charleston Mercury, the or
gan and mouth-piece of Nullification, af
ter some contortions ofcountenance, and a
little amiable coquetry, came out with the
following declaration:
"Judge While is essentially a State
Rights man, and under his auspices, a
new and powerful party would be formed
upon Stale Rights principles, It is impor
tant to restore the Government to its orig
inal simplicity and purity. This is lhe ve
ry object for which the Whigs and Nulh
fiersarenow contending through the whole
South aud west and it is for this great end
they have United, upou White.
Theobject ofthe Whigs and Nullifi
ers, and the means by which it is to be ac
complished are plainly and distinctly a
vowed in this short paragraph. We do
not stop to comment on the gross inconsis
tency, —the total abandonment of princi
ple, either by the Judge or by his new al
lies, which these declarations imply;—we
only submit the facts in their native
garb of truth,for lhe unbiassed considera
tion ofthe honest democracy of the coun
try.-We seek not to control public opin
ion, but to enlighten it. And if the friends
ofthe pr3sentAdministration; the great U
nion party of the South are to be ensnared
or entraped by wiles,the arts,or fair profes
sions of the adversaries, we at least shall
not be found among the number.--
Bank of Charleston.— The amount sub
scribed in this city to the new Bank is
eighty one million; one hundred and
eigty thousand, eight hundred dollars.
The Capita) is two millions of dollars,
and it is probable that when the amount
subscribed in the country towns is receiv
ed it will reach ninety millions. As one
fourth on payment ofthe first instalment
was received in checks on the different
Banks of the city the amount raised in
this way has been upwards of twentymil
lion of dollars. The Banks have discoun
ted liberally, on the express understand
ingthat the parties accommodated would
apply the sums the purpose specifically of
subscriptions to the Bank and no other.
By an arrangement previously made, the
Commissioners had resolved, to receive
checks on the different Banking Institu
tions,for the amount respectively subscri
bed. As no sums w’ere withdrawn from
the control ofthe Banks,this arrangement
enabled thousands to embark in specula
tion who had never dreamed of it, until
a day or two before the books were open
ed, and ingenuity was put to the torture
to devise schemes for obtaining credit
at the Banks. The spirit speculation
brought in sudden activity by these cir
cumstances was aided by the large orders
received from the North lor investments in
the New Bank, and by the competition of
two rivals parrties each of which has
its favorite candidate for the Presidency.

. WELL DONE.
We have this moment been informed by
two gentlemen ofhigh standing in Georgia
with whom we have long been acquainted,
that Gen. Jackson has possitively refused
to approve any contract lately made with
the. Indians, believing as he does that the
whole or nearly the w'hole of the contracts
for land are fraudulent. Both of the gen
tlemen saw and conversed with Mr. Dough
erty.who went to see the President on the
subject, and to furnish him with the evi
dence of the impositions practised on the
Indians by the process ofpersonating,
Mr. Dougherty is the person alluded to in
the Journal some time since as having
written to us for the evidence in our pos
session to prove the fraud on thelndians.
Thousands of honest men will heartily
thank Gen. Jackson for his interference to
put down one of the most extensive frauds
this country ever witnessed. The Gener
al never performed a more acceptable act
to the people of this part ofthe country
than Lis refusal,hence forward to approve
any contract whatever with the Indians
for their lands. He sends an agent short
ly to look into each case of fraud. We
hope he will be able to get to the Nation
without being bribed himself as that will
be attempted it is thought.— Ala. Jour.

At all events a large quantity has been

be supposed a very fit delicacy for the use

FOURTH OF JULY.
We understand, that on the approaching An
niversary of our National Independence, Her
schel V. Johnson, Esq. will deliver the Ora
tion, and Dr. F. M. Robertson will read the
Declaration of Independence.
We understand that, by a resolution of the
Board of Managers, a meeting of the Temper
ance Society will be held at the Church on the
afternoon of the 4th of July next, when some
addresses will probably be delivered.
It is expected that one or two hymns will be
sung by a collection of the children from the
several schools of this place, byway of diversi
fying the exercises. Those children who are
willing to join in singing on this occasion, arc
invited to meet at the Lecture Room on Wed
nesday afternoon next, at 5 o’clock, when some
gentlemen will attend to instruct them in sing
ing the hymns that may be selected. This
pleasant mode of celebrating the national anni
versary will, we hope, with many, be the cele
bration of an independence of all intemperate
irregularities.

C A LAMITOUS FI RE!
About half past 12 o’clock this morn
ing, an alarm of fire was given, which
was found to originate in a small wooden
building, occupied as a Wheelwright’s
shop,within a few doors ofßame’s exten
sive Confectionary, which, together with
the latter, was rapidly destroyed. The
wind being in a westerly direction, the
flames extended as far South as Market
street, where it will probably be arrested.
At the time we write (3o’clock) itis rapid
ly extending down Guignard andEliery
streets. Six houses have been blown up,
and from teo to fifteen buildings consum-
P. S.— Day Light.— The fire still ra
ging. About 200 Houses Burnt—The
wind strongat W. When we left the fire
it had burnt all the houses immediately
on meeting-street, on the W. side, between
Market and Hazel I, except two large
brick houses, adjoining each other, at the
corner ofMeeting and Market steets. From
the direction of the wind, we think that
lhe fire wil not spread farther on that
sideofMarket street On the other side the
scene is appalling—. very thing between
Hazell and Market streets is gone, and a
few Houses above Hazell, which street
was crossed by the flames, but was expec
ted that their farther progress northward
would be arrested. The squares between
Hazell on theNorth,Meeting on the West,
Market on tl e South, and Maiden Lane
on the East, were all in flames or ruins
except one or firtproofbuildings, which it
is hardly possible to save. The fire has
also crossed Maiden Lane, and is burning
rapidly eastward to Anson-strect, and will
probably burn through to the river. We
have just learned that the Beef Market is
also on fire. There is no calculating the
extent of loss which will probably be suf
fered, and we cannot stop the press for
further inlomation.— Charleston Mercury
Mr. Livingston, it is said, was to have
sailed from Havre in the Constitution fri
gate, after the final disposition of the in
demnity bill. If so, we may expect him
in a few days, as the bill cannot have been
delayed in its passage through both hou
ses, after the decisive vote on the most
important section.
Considerable sensation has been crea
ted by the fact that the President ofthe
Council stated that Mr. Livingston ex
pressly denied having written the offen
sive letter imputed to him. How is thia?
If Mr. L. did not write it, who is its au
thor? Was it manufactured in Washing
ton? And by whom?— N. Y. Eve. Star.
Mr. Livingston.—A letter fjom Paris
dated April, 22d, states that Mr. Living
ston would sail from Havre on board the
Constitution frigate, bringing the official
intelligence of the passage ofthe Indemni
ty Bill, instead of proceeding to England
or Belgium.
Commodore Elliot left Paria on the
21st April to rejoin his frigate.
The debate in the French Chamber of
Deputies on the Indemnity bill has occa
sioned at least one duel between two of
the members; they exchanged a couple of
shots, without effect, when the seconds
interfered.

[From the London Times.]
Paris April 18.—Among all the fab
rications retailed in the Chamber and the
newspapers, on the subject of the Ameri
can claims, and the treaty which reduced
them to the form of a liquid obligation, it
is a matter of surprise, especially to the
members ofthe diplomatic lody, with
whoßi the fact is familiar, that neither de
pines nor journalists have laid their hands .
on an anecdote which wonld have thro vn
. more light on the chief point at issue, than
all that has resulted from a fortnight’s in
cessant debate. During the first days of
the revolution, when the future King ot
the French was still at Neuilly, and La
fayette was hesitating at the Hotel deVille
between the proclamation of the republic,
and the institutions of a monarchy sur
i rounded by republican institutions, the
I Duke of Orleans sent across the barri
. cades,to ask an interview with Mr. Rives,
; the American minister, who, like most of
the diplomatic servants of the United
States, is known to have entertained opin
ions on the subject of government having
a decided leaning towards aristocratical
and monarchical forms. The object of
his Royal Highness was to induce Mr.
Rives to go to the Hotel de Ville, and con
vey to Layfayette the effect of his own
conviction on the all important question
which was then under deliberation. The
American Minister consented, and during
his subsequent stay in Paris, us perhaps
now at Washington, he delighted to re
count the part he played at this crisis of
the revolution, putting especial emphasis
on the cordiality with which he was re
ceived by the venerable old man, who for
the moment held the destinies of France
in his own hands, because in the repre
sentative of the American Republic, La
fayette thought he saw the personification
of that pure form of government with
which be desired that his country might
be endowed. Suffice it to say, that the
mission proved successful, that Lafayette
allowed himself to be convinced, and that
Mr. Rives knew how to exact from the
King and his Ministers the price of that
intervention, which had contributed so es
sentially to smooth his path to the throne.
Spring Place, Geo.
May, 24 the 1835.
J Mr. Editor.
Dear Sir.
1 have just came to the knowledge of a
small meeting that was held in the upper
part of our County, at the house of Mr.
Keith on yesterday, for the purpose ot
giving a stab, to our friends in this coun
ty and which I understand is to be for
warded for publication. This Meeting was
composed oftwelve or thirteen persons; a
mongthe mostconspicious ofthesepersons
were Nelson Dickerson, John B. Maston
and several others,which attended a public
Meeting, the proceedings of which were
published in the Southern Recorder Ex
tra of April 30th, 1834, together with
some other disappointed aspirants for of
fice who determined to secure office if pos
sib'e at the expense or prostration of prin
ciple. Amongst this number is James
Edmonson and John Humphreys, whom
the Nullifiers have, no doubt, purchased
up This notbale faction collected at the
House of Nelson Dickerson some time
previous to the date of the Extra, above
mentioned and passed Resolutions abusing
Gov. Lumpkin, and all his friends inbroad
terms, and have continued to do so until
recently
Their Resolutions are these.
Resolved, That his Excellency’s con
duct in lending his aid and influence to
encourage a disregard of the mandates
of the judicial tribunal of the State and
conniving at and instructing his Aid de
Congs and his friends in their outrage
upon civil order, he has forfeited our con
fidence and support and he and his fiiends
are no longer entitled to either. And a
nother reads thus:
Resolved, That we entertain a high
respect for the judicial character of
Judge Hooper and have unabated confi
dence in his integrity firmness and abil
ity and we will at all hazzard, sustain
him in the discharge of his duties.” &c,
4*c.
In this manner this little rabble hai
continued from time to time to abuse our
policy, our laws, and our public men,
heaping all manner ol vituperation and
slander on the whole of us, until they have
nearly rendered themselves ridiculous to
all our friends who know them; and they
have been recently advised by the Nulli
fiers, no doubt, that they could not rise in
that way, and they have now met, I am
informed, (by Mr. Isaac Baker, our for
mer Senator and our present candidate
for the same station, and Mr. Barnett our
present candidate for representative in
place of Mr. Wacaser who has declined)
and have come out with a string of reso
lutions highly approving of the adminis
tration of Gen. Jackson, Gov. Lumpkin
and highly complimenting my friend. Col
Nelson, intending thereby to deceive our
Union friends and give the semblance of
action with the Union party to gain friends
amonst us, praising all who do not imme
diately stand in their way, and try to give
to the cry raised against us by the Nulli-j
tiers; as what else could they intend by
their sudden change of sentiment as expre •
ssed in those two meetings mentioned.
They wish to destroy the confidence of
our friends in us, and to rise upon our ru
ins. This is certainly a struggleon our
part for principle and on the part of our I
'ocal adversaries for office.
You may rest assured that no other
cause has prompted them to offer their
ireainble and resolutions to the world,
>ut to promote their nefarious designs,
md consequently we have been led to ap-1
’rise you of their standing and intentions, *
beliaving when you wore informed upon
I the subject you would refuse their'pream
ble and resolutions a place in your paper.
After they have used the Nullifying press
as long as they could to advantage, they
nowtry to sculk into our papers, as wolves
insheep’s clothing, to undermine and in
jure us.
These men are the same who held the
meeting at the house of Nelson Dicker
son with a few from our ranks who are
disappointed and ambitious together with
a few, who from motives of self in
terest are found amongst them. Some
unsuspecting obscure individuals have
been selected by them to sign those proceed
ings of theirs, in this case I believe a Mr.
Norton, Kincannon, Jackson and Doug
las have signed them, as Chairman Secre
tary, very ordinary men who could
be used by designing men for any purpose
almost; but the party is the same, their
end and aim the same. This party as
now organized are the constant vindica
tors and admirers of Judge Hooper and
his clan, every avowed Nullifter in the
county acts with them and their force is
and has been mustered to try to reach us
as we are the peculiar object of Hooper
dp Co’s, hate, myself in particular. Those
disappointed aspirants for nominations
and office rri&de those Nullifiers their
bosom friends and advisers, during our
Superior Court week just passed all boar
ded at the same house, all planned and
matured the same measures. The sher
iff of this County has been bought up
by them, who managed to pack a grand
jury by summoning talismenof his choice
for the purpose of bringing bills of indict
ment against me in several cases connec
ted with my official acts as agent—with
one exception he summoned my sworn
enemies.
I was informed ofhis declared intention
to so arrange the Grand Jury as to be
able to find bills against me in those par
ticularcases. Ofthis I informed the Judge.
Strange to tell, he declared he had no pow
er to remedy the evil, of which I com
plained. He had the talismen thus selec
ted, sworn and ordered, bills made out a
gainst me, and then admitted Indian testi
mony into the Jury room; and this same
foreman, James Edmonson, spoke lengthily
in favor of the Indian testimony being re
received, as good aud valid. I made the
statements in the Court House in lhe pres
ence of the Jury and sheriff”, which sheriff
never pretended to deny the charge, but
remained silent as death. This same
sherifTand this same foreman of the selec
ted Jury were both sadly disappointed;
for the Jury in most of the cases returned
on the Indictments No Bill. Only
one true Bill out of three being returned.
These same identical Sheriff and
Foreman were present at the last mention
ed meeting, and the Foreman James Ed
monson harranged the 13 persons present
for a considerable length of time on the
object of the meeting. It is worthy of re
mark that a large portion of the persons
present were of this notable Grand Jury
who had previously submitted to be thus
packed and used by the Nullifiers, who
after they had failed to answer all their
purposes of rancor and hatred toward me
and my friend, they took this disgraceful
and malignant method of abusing us in the
confidence of cur friends, together with
the hope of being profited by it themselves.
In taking said course,many other disgrace
ful artifices have been resorted to, to try
to drain our union friends to their sup
port, and to try to rise on our ruin; and if
they ever should rise I have no doubt they
will act with the enemy. Under all these
circumstances we sincerely hope their
hypocritical and unfounded resolutions
will not find their way to the public
through the medium of any Union paper
in the state. Very Respectfully
I remain Yours Truly
WILLIAM N. BISHOP.
We the undesigned do fully agree and
concur with the statements in the above
communication, as we were present at the
court above alluded to; also at the meeting
last held at Mr Keith’s, and the statements
are substantially true.
