Wednemlny Morning, April 17, 1850.
From WHMhliiKtnn.
The correspondent of (he Baltimore Sun,
under date of 12th inst., says:—
The House has, enlarged the nowtrs of the
committee raised to investigate Mr. Secretary
Crawford’s connexion with the Galphin claim,
so as to embrace the origin and history of the
Maim.
So, the committee have got work enough for
the rest of the session. They must send for
the newspaper writers who have made the
chargos against Mr. Crawford, Mr. Anderson,
his chief clerk, Mr. Rytidera, and others.
There are some serious charges brought for
ward, going to show that the claim was fraudu
lently shuffled, by a skilful slight of hand, from
tho bottom to the top of the pack, at the close
of the session of ’43. There are charges
wbitfh gravely affect public confidence in the
honesty of legislation.
If the charges made in the Whig pnpers
against individuals connected with this subject,
can be shown to be true in tiny one instance of
importance, it will cast suspicion upon all the
rest of the proceedings. If the claim wns
fraudulently slipped through Congress, we miiy
then possibly conceive that there may have
been something wrong in the prosecution nod
allowance of the cluitn for interest in the de
partments.
But it is evident to mo that the clamor raised in
regard to this atTub grows out of a concerted
sch'-taa, by disappointed whigs to force General
Taylor to change his cabinet. All other efforts
had failed ("and nothing whs likely to move
thaohl hero but charges which implicated his
own honor.
The opposition here have not led the van' in
this assault, but they willingly follow. They
are gratified spectators cf the trouble by which
Whig administrations uro always sure to fall,
and many an “I told you so” is repeated by tho
defeated Democrats. I havelittle doubt that the
committee will make u report fully exonerating
Secretary Crawford. But it is impossible thut
in regard to a report covering so wide a field,
that there can he unanimity of opinion. Ten
to one, whatever report may be made, will not
meet with acceptance from a majority of the
House.
It will be along time before the committee
will act. In the meantime, those who are so
desirous of changes in tho cabinet, must pa
tiently wait. There can be no dissolution of
tho cabinet until congress acts.
There is one thing that muy prevent General
Taylor from accepting the resignation of his
m.nisters. He can find good men to take their
places, hut can he find one man for another post
who, under present circumstances, can pass the
Senate. Tense who have been named, or rath
er sum ■ of them, could not, I am very certain,
be confirmed.
Many nominations now before the Senate will
bus rejected by a combination between South
ern men, Northern democrats, and aided by a
few Northern malcontont whig.
• It is true as I am informed, that the South
ern Senators, or u portion of them, had u
meeting on Saturday last, and advised the
meeting of the Nashville Convention as the
only means by which Congress would bo influ
enced to bring the disputed questions to a lib
eral and harmonious conclusion.
Mr. Benton has resorted to parliamentary ex
pedients to obstruct the reference of Califor
nia to the proposed solect committee. When
tho absent Senators return, there will b" a ma
jority of six for the committee. The Senate
cannot proceed, however, in the course which
the majority wish, until Mr. Benton withdraws
his impediments. Mr. Benton’s proposi
tions—five yesterday and nine more to day—
open n field fot disputo which must occupy five
months more.
Mr. Benton has set an example to tho anti-
Californiuus of the House, which they will im
itate.
It is regretted thut the appointment of Gen
Hamilton to the Senate was revoked, by reason
of non-rosidence. He has been hero during
the session, and promoted mensures of concil
iation He was quite satisfied with the views
and propositions of Mr. Bell and Mr. Webster.
Another correspondent has the following—
Who me the disunionists now ? Is not the
united South, for a compromise ? Are not Ben
ton. Seward, Hale, Chase, and the Cabinet of
Gon. Taylor, against it ? Has not tho South
now a perfect right to distrust the sincerity of
those who would divide the two bills of Mr.
Dnuglus 1 Tho Abstract justice demanded by
Mr. Benton, in the separation of California
from the rest of tho Mexican territory acqui
ed by the treaty of Hidalgo, reminds one
strongly of Solomon’s judgment. The moth
er that loved her child would rather give it up
entirely titan see it divided in two ; tho spuri
ous mother insisted on her half. Those that
love the Union will go for n rational compro
mise; these opposed to it, are also opposed to
the appointment of a enmmitteo thut might,
give strength nnd direction to public opinion
on the subject. Not one vote more will a com
promise bill note obtain in the Senate, than the
^majority which is (or the appointment of the
Jcommuttee. Tho South know it, and will not
■ he so toolish as to trust either House with the
Ciiiifurnit! bill by itself.
If the passage of the California bill by itself is
attempted and carried,you will seegreater trou
bles t rnn those with which the Union lias yet
been threatened.
The same writer says :
It isconfiidcmly reported that Mr. Butler King
o» Savannah, lutely from California, is destined
V* ""creed Mr. Preston. Mr. King is undoubt-
ridiy a gentleman of enlarge! experience in
naval matters, who Irom the commencement,
had a* good a title to the Secretaryship of the
Navy as Mr. Preston, ami would have made at
least as good an officer. He has been on the
naval committee fora number of years, and at
last chairman of that committee. His reports
won him A well merited reputation, and his last
report on California is justly entitled to the
higest consideration.

them to-night by Mr. Mitchell, at tho Athe.
Southern Bank of Alabama.—The Mobile
Tribune says that over $250,000 of tho stock of
this bank hnvo already been taken, and thnt it
will bo speedily organized, nnd fully prepared
for business bjfthc beginning of the fall season.
From Florida.—The U. S. steamer Fashion,
Capt. Baker, ftom Fort Brooke, Fla., the 7th>
arrived at New Orleans on the 11th inst.
Gen. Twigg’s health was improving gradual
ly. Nothing had been heard of the Indians for
some time. Tho steamer Col. Clay, with Capt-
Casey on board, had proceeded to Charlotte
Harbor. Capt. Casey went for tbe purpose of
holding a conference with some Indians at that
pluco.
Overflow of the Mississippi.—A large
truct of country between Now Orleuns und
Franklin, on tho Mississippi river, is under
water. The water is said to be considerably
higher tlion it has bofcn since tho year 1828.
Many of tho inhabitants have been compelled
to nbandon their houses, nnd large numbers of
cattle have been drowned.
The New York Herald has a tel-We.
graphic rumor from Washington that ihero had
been a disagreement between Gen. Taylor
and Mr. Crawford, and that the Cabinet
was virtually dissolved in consequence. This
is bur. one of many rumors afloat about the dis
solution of the Cabinet, and if we may judge
by what wo find in tho whig, as well ns dem
ocratic papers, there will certainly be a change
veryjshortly.
Petition for Dr. Webster.—The editor
of tho Augusta Republic says that a petition for
the pardon of Dr. .Webster has been sent to
his office, and expresses tho hope that “all who
feel assured, of his innocence, or entertain a
reasonable doubt of his guilt,” will place theii
signatures to tho paper. The editor adds that
petitions are also circulating in Savannah.
If such petitions are in circulation in this
city, we nro not aware of the fact. It seems to
a little remarkable that the people of Geor
gia should be called upon to interfere with the
administration of the criminal laws of Massa
chusetts. What would we think of a similar
petition coming from that State? If tho peo
ple of tbe whole Union are to be consulted mi
uch cases, we think the proper way would
be to dispense with courts and juries, and let
the people determine the guilt or innocence of
persons charged with crime, by vote.

The Doctrine of the Unity of the Human Race,
Examined on the principles of Science; by
John Bachman, D. D., Professor of Natu
ral History, College of Charleston, tpc. «$-c.
Mr. Editor:—Allow me through your val
uable paper, to invito the attention of the rend
ing public of Savannah, to the above work,
lately published by C. Canning, of Charleston,
and now to be had at Mr. Cooper’s Book Store,
in this city. The author who has produced such
an assay, deserves to be heard, and regarded as
a writer of equal power and discrimination.
The work, indeed, is such as could have been
anticipated from the well known character of
tho Doctor, as a distinguished Naturalist, and
a strong and vigorous writer. It displays un
common research in the multiplicity of inter
esting facts collected, and a thorough ac
quaintance with every branch of science con
nected with iho subject discussed. The au
thor’s object undoubtedly has been to arrive at
truth, and as n conscquonce, candor and fair-
dealing, characterizes the whole work. Unless
wo are much mistaken, the scientific as well as
the Christian world, are greatly indebted to
Dr. Bachman, forgiving them such a complete
and satisfactory discussion of a subject, which
at this time is exciting more than common in
terest. v In no work in the English language,
thnt we are acquainted with, has the Unity of
the Human Race, as a scientific question, been
ever before, so honestly and thoroughly handled.
Here it is examined purely on scientific
grounds..
If others receive as powerful an impression
of the value of Dr. Bachman’s labor* ns we
have done, from the reading of his essay, they
will wish it, as wo do, a very extensive circula
tion. It is the very desideratum in its own
department of science, which needed to be sup
plied, and it has been done with the devoted-
nes* ol an honest enquirer after truth, and the
penetration and skill of a profound phi
losopher. We hope it will bo the instru
ment of disseminating light on a subject, as the
author admits, surrounded by difficulties, and
which is of great interest alike to the Christian
and the man of Science. ADAM.

The Brooklyn Slander Case.—The suit
for slander, brought by the Rev. Jno. C. Green
of Brooklyn, New York, against Mr. and Mrs.
Fierce, tho mother, and the futher-in-law of tho
late Mrs. Maffitt, in which the damages were
laid at $10,000, has resulted in a verdict for the
plaintiff of 6 1-4 cents dunioges, and the same
amount of costs. Tho slander complained of
was spoken by Mrs. Pierce, who stated that
Greene took her daughter to the Museum, soon
nfter her marriage, and when they left there
tried to induce her to accompany him to

Boston, April 12.
Letters have been recived here from Mr.
Wilson the U. S. Commercial Agent at Cape
Haytien, dated March 21, which make no men
tion of any trouble with Solouque. The story
of his imprisonment is believed to be incor
rect.
The Committee of the Governor’s Council
have reported unanimously against commuting
the punishment of Pierson, the condemned
murderer. He will undoubtedly be hung.
Tbecounsel for Prof. Webster have published
a notice in the evening papers, stating that the
report of his trial which appeared to day, got
ten up by Dr. Stone and others, is inaccurate,
especially as regards their arguments.
Public opinion is decided in regard to the
verdict in Webster’s case. There are no in
timations yet in reference to tbe disposition of
the Governor relative to the fate of the unfor
tunate prisoner.
The
A Grave Subject.—Some of the leading
Northern journuls are beginning to entertain
apprehensions of evil consequences to grow out
of tho daily increasing emigration to California.
The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser has a long''
article on this subject, under the above ca| -
tion, in which tho writer considers the natural
consequences of tho change in tho character of
the population of the Northern, Middle and
Western States, now so rapidly taking placet
The editor says:
In all probability, we have seen as yet but
the commencement of emigration to the Pacific
shores. California, for its gold, nnd Oregon.as
nn agricultural region, will become important
drains upon the present states of the Union,
both in the number and quantity of those with
drawn. It becomes then, wp think, a grave
qnostion. what relation does our immigra
tion bear to this vast present emigration
In point of numbers, we conceive, there is lit
tle ennse for apprehension.—But in quality
there is, and necessarily must be, a most strik
ing discrepancy. We are parting with Ame
rican citizens and receiving foreigners ;—losing
these who have been educated among us, train
ed under our institutions, are devoted to their
spread nnd peruetuity, and receiving in lieu
thereof masses of people in the main ignorant;
to a European degree degraded nnd animnliz-
od ; in many instances poor nnd destitute, and
universally disqualified for a right apprecia
tion of the spirit and tenor of our institutions.
Men who hnve yet to commence the lives of
American citizens.
In this view of themntter we are justified in
directing attention to this transformation ns n
gravesubject. Could we be sure that our im
migrants would all wait the due term of natu
ralization betore they exercised their elective
franchise, nnd other privileges of citz.enship,
perhaps there would be something less of peril
in tho exchange. But it is notorious that, by
some means or other, muny of the foreign pop
ulation of this city do vote before the legal
term of naturalization expires—that they get
“their papers” before they are by law entitled
to them. TIiIh we say augments the danger
that threatens us from the transformation now-
going on, which would still be a mntter of suffi
cient gravity even were it not liable to this con
tingency.
Wo are of opinion that there has been much
deception practiced to produce the result
which the editor so seriously deplores. Poli-
ticinns, outfitting merchants, and speculating
ship-owners, have all conspired to exaggerate
and inflate the accounts from’California, which
have produced the prevailing emigration epi
demic, which hus “carried off” its thousands,
and will continue to carry off its hundreds of
thousands of adventurers, to encounter the tri-
Is, privations, nnd disappointments of fortune
hunting on the shores of the Pacific.
Many of them—the shrewd, the energetic
and industrious—will prosper, a« they would
have done lind they remained at home; while
British Navigation Laws.—Tho
Montreal Gazette of Monday, says:—
We understand that the Government have
dispatched, to the collector at Quebec, blank
licenses for foreign vessels to proceed to Mon
treal witb cargo or in ballast. In this instance
thn Ministry certainly deserve credit for tb
promptitude with which they have acted, nnd it
opens to Montreal uil the advantages given to
oilier sea ports under the navigation laws.
The recent ordors in Council respecting the
inland cuasting trade have been rescinded, and
others are published which are more consonant
with public opinion.
The Gazette also mentions that it is the inten
tion of the Executive to bring in a bill to im
prove the channels of the St. Lnwrance in the
different rapids, with a view to increase the
safety and facility of the route from the lakes to
the ocean.
The Irish Viceroyalty.—The Lord Licuten
tint is getting ready to depart. His aids-de-camp
have got notice to hold themsolves in readiness
to join their regiments, und the viceregal house
bold are under a month’s notice. The effect up
on tbe Irish capital of the withdrawal of the
viceregal court is thus predicted by the Nation
:—“The courts of law will follow the executive
—the threatened plunder of tho Dublin hospit
als will furnish a precedent for disbanding the
few national institutions that remain, and Dub
lin, which is essentially a capital, essentiallv a
city of gentry, lawyers, officials, and the race
of nonproducers in general, muy drop behind
Cork and Belfast, (which have learned to live
by their own industry,) like a bankrupt dandy,
without tho talents to live or the courage to
die.”

The Webster Trial—f^B„ 8t0 „ Trl „.
script understands that Attorney General Clif.
ford is preparing a teply to the strictures made
in other cities upon tho manner in which tl,
trial of Prof. Webster was conducted.
A Boston letter to the New York Mi r „ r
says
“I attribute to the necessarily hasty and ill.
digested manner in which the details of , „
trial were laid before the public, out of Boston
during its progress, a larg- proportion of this
evident rmsappreriatinn of the facts i„ ,|, e
etise. A careful perusal of the evidence and
t r.„ nr * UT r ,t *’ ( t,,py nre ’ U9t published by
1 lnilips, Sampson & Co., here, with perfect
accuracy,) will go fur, I think, to correct erto-
neous opinion upon the subject.”

The Mysterious Rapping.—The Buffalo
Courier, in an article upon the Rochester
knnckiiigs, publishes the following and vouches
fur its truth. It does not surprize us at all.
A young man called, a day or two since, upon
the ladies in whose keeping are the Rochester
spirits. His bearing was sad, and his voice
was tremulous with emotion. Sorrow was in
his countenance, and a weed wus on his hut.
He sighed us he took a sent, and tho by-stan-
ders pitied him us they saw him draw fourth a
spotless hankerchief nnd wipe away a tear that
hud gathered in bis eye. After a few moments
ot silence he took one of the ladies aside, and
requested if consistent, to be put in commu-
nicution with the spiritual essence of his moth
er, and here he wiped his eyes rapidly, und sob
bed.
A period of quiet elapsed and a knock was
heard, signifying thnt the desired .correspon
dence could be had, and with a hesitating
voice, the young man commenced questioning
the invisible one.
“How long had I gone before you died 7
A length of time was stilted.
“Where are you now mother ?—arc you hap
py *”
The knocking indicated that th> spirit was
at rest.
“Are those of your frionds who have gone
before with you 7”
“They are,” said the knocking.
“Then you can recognize them peifectly?”
The noise certified tho affirmative.
“Can you see me at ail times when you
wish - ?”
The raps proclaimed the perpetual clearness
of the shaker’s vision in thut respect.
Tho gentleman seemed relieved, and the
spectators stood overwhelmed with wonder.
Taking his hat tho mourner rose, thanked the
ladies, and, us he stood in the door, quietly
remarked—
•T have been very much entertninod, ns no

A Capital Rat Story.—Rev. Walter Col
ton, in his agreeable and christian-like diary of
a voyage to California in a man-of-war, entitled
“Deck and Port,” relates the following capital
rat story:
“ I have always felt some regard for a rat
since my cruise in t{je Constellation. We
were fiiting (or Sea at Norfolk, and taking in
water nnd provisions; a plank was resting on
the sill of one of the ports which communica
ted witli tile wharf. On a bl ight moonlight ,eve
ning, we discovered two rats on tho plank, com
ing into the ship. Tho foremost was 'eadinf
tlie other by a straw, one end of which each
held in his mouth. Wo managed to capture
them both, and found, to our surprise, the one
led by the other was stone blind. His faithful
friend was trying to get him on board, where
ho would hnve comfortable quurters during n
three years’ cruise. Wr felt no disposition to
kill either, nnd landed them on the wharf.
How many there are in this world to whom the
fidelity of that rat readeth a lesson!”
Tho weathercock, nfte- all, points to the
it sh
highest moral truth, for
a “ vane” thing to a “spire

Taking Slaves to California.—A Hu
rana correspondent of the Cincinnati Enqui
rer says:
On our vessel are quite a number from Ken

an agreement to gii-e them their freedom fur
two yenrs services in the mines. Will the
slaves adhere to the contract ? They will.
They are honest, nnd will not violate ibeir word

ana shore ; every inducement was offered at
Evansville and other pluces for them to leave—
thoy resisted nil.
Fire at Buffalo.—The book store of 0.
G. Steele, in Main street, was destroyed by fire
on Wednesday morning. The loss in stock is
about $13,000, on which there is an insurance
of $5000. The fire is attributed to on incen
diary, ns the tront door of the store was found
to be broken open, and the iron safe wits forced,
and $30 in money and some papers of value
had been taken there from.
