jt would In’ a needless trouble on our part, we fancy, to
commend to our readers the speeches of CAit able and vigil
ant representatives in Congress.
\Ve commend to our Bachelor readers, the very capital
report of the Committee of the New-Jcrsey Legislature,
made to the House on a very interesting subject. Our
„\vn dissent (as in duty bound) from many of its views, of
riMUV- detracts nothing from the merit of the composition.
Wo notice, among other things, the statement, that a
ypwspupcr is about to be established at Washington, advo
cating the claims of Mr. Rives for the Presidency. What
jjj Col. Benton say to this? will he not move to expunge?
\ Court Martial is ordered to assemble at Savannah, on

naJ struck from the roll of the army, and afterwards ro-
ftored, in order to stand his trial, by the President.
Gun. Bradv is President of the Court, and among the of

Texas.—The Committee on Foreigt

immediate recognition of Texas, advising likewise, an ap-
pro]iriati<»n as an outfit and salary for such agent as die
President mav send to that country. The report and reso-
Jutinns were subsequently laid upon the table. So the in-
depence of Texas, it would seem, will not -this session be

pliould the army bill become a law, our standing milita-
r » force will consist of upwards of 12,000 men.
A Washington Correspondent of the Charleston Mcrcu-
rT WV s there are hundreds of office seekers for themselves
or tlieir friends, in Washington. II« says: “ All sorts of
intrigue are on foot to aid in these efforts. Such a scram
ble for spoils was never seen. Matty is harrassed day and
night with their greedy clamor. lie puts on a winning
, m ile. and promises to all an curly and favorable conside
ration of their respective claims. The old Jackson office
holders are to give place to this new swarm—on the prin
ciple of rotation in office. The Boston C ollcctor and 1 ost
Master are to bo removed, on the ground of their original
ouil nnaloncable sin of Calliounism.
If we took possession of their vessels, they would beyond
doubt take possession of ours ; resistance would ecrtaiuly
be made, when possible, by both parties, and tlr.’s to all in
tents and purposes, we should find ourselves at once in the
midst of hostilities.
Putting out of view for a moment the train of evils, the
invariable attendent of war, it requires but a small acquaint
ance with the commerce of the United States to know that
in the event of a war of reprisals with Mexico, the com.
merce of the United States would be the principal suffer-
cr. To us the;ioss would be immense, to Mexico compara
tively trivial. Believing very strongly in the justice of Mr.
Jefferson’s views of national wars, and that'in most cases
the force of public opinion will usually completely effect
all the objects which could be accomplished by the most
successful wars; we are pleaded that Congress, in both
houses, has resisted the application |of the President, a*nd
left matters as they were before, to be arranged by negotia
tion. If General Jackson’s time was not at an end; <ve
have little belief that this exhibition of the independence
of Congress would have been made.
In the Senate, Mr Buchanan, from the Committee on
Foreign Relations, presented a report upon the message of
the President, concerning ourdifficulties with Mexico, which
concluded by recommending the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Senate concur in opinion with the Presi
dent of the United States, that another demand ought to be
made for the redress of our grievances from the Mexican Go
vernment, the mode and manner of which, under the 34th arti
cle of the treaty, so far as it may be applicable, are properly
confided to his discretion. They cannot doubt, from die justice
of our claims, that this demand will result in speedy redress;
but should they be disappointed in this reasonable expectation,
a state of things will then have occurred which will make it
the imperative duty of Congress promptly to consider what
further measures may be required by the honor of the nation
and the rights of our injured fellow-citizens.
In the House, Mr. Howard, from the committee of F
reign Relations, on the same subject, likewise presented a
report, which concluded with the following resolutions i
1. Resolved, That the indignities offered to the American flag,
and injuries committed upon the persons and property of Ame
rican citizens, by officers of the Mexican Government, and the
refusal or neglect of that Government to make suitable' atone
ment, would justify the Congress of the United States in taking
measures to obtain immediate redress, by the exercise of it3
own power.
2. Resolved, That a6 an evidence of the desire of the Ame
rican Government to preserve peaceful relations with the Go
vernment of Mexico, as long as the same may be compatible
with that dignity which it is due to the people of the United
States to preserve unimpaired, the President be, and he is
hereby respectfully requested to make another solemn demand,'
in the most impressive form, upon the Government of Mexico,
for the redress of the grievances which have heretofore been
ineffectually presented to its notice.

LATEST FROM FLORIDA.
M e regret to be obliged to recall all our recent sanguine
expectations of a speedy close of this tantalizing war.—
Peace, seems by tho following account, to be as distant as
ever. The truce has resulted in nothing, except in delay
ing the movements of our troops. Experience even in this
war, should have taught us, much more Gen. Jcsup, that the
telk of the Indian, no less than the Carthagenian, is strictly
punic,and that Indian faith, and panic faith are synonymous
in the characteristics of deceitfulness and treachery.
Of the large force of Philip referred to in the subjoined
account, we have never heard before ; great ignorance seems
to have prevailed among all ranks in Florida, both in re
gard to the numbers of the enemy, and their ample sup
plies. It is useless to hazard an opinion in relation to the
termination of the war.
Wc Imre noticed various rumors in relation to the new
Cabinet. The last, we observe, assigns the Department of
State to Mr. Rives, the Treasury to Mr. Wright, the pro-
nr.it Senator from New-York, the War Department to Mr.
l'.iinsHtt, of South Carolina, and the Navy Department to
Mr. Muhlenberg, of Pennsylvania, or Mr. M ho, gentle
reader, do von suppose ? not Mr. Whitney, hut Mr. Duttee
.1. IVarro, of Rhode Island. We can hardly thiuk it pos-
that the last appointment will be made. I rom
nur estimate of this gentleman, from all that we have
Writ itWr to discover from his public life, lie is far better
railed to he l’edhir General over the ladling Department
of the United States, than to be the chief over our gallant,
hiplnmndtd. and noble hearted sailors. Duttee J. Pearce,
Sron torv of the Navy! Pooh, pooli, it’s not conceivable:
ths rfport must have had reference to our 1-ishing Navy-
off Cajie Cod, for the head of which Department, we dare
sar. his claims may ho well founded enough.
Its I’ost Master General, it would seem from all nc-
rouritr, ij to he retained in the new Cabinet.
M’s notice that this gentleman has lately been giving his
niiiiii-in to Congress on the utility of a telegraph system,
';M|vined to he introduced; und seems very lavorable to
i> n!ij<*et. If our advice would he listened to a moment,
*!• would advise Mr. Kendal to let telegraphs, for the pre
en, slmic, and confine his attention to the muils of the
onintry : which, we will inform him, judging from all the
icomnts constantly pouring in upon us, is in a more wretcli-
'-ilrtate than they ever have been since the commencement
i'f llr- msil svstjcm. Wc would hint to the Post Muster
Wrier*l, that, so far as the South is Concerned, his entire
reputation is suspended on one peg, and that is, his repute
mn of business and efficient talent; and thnt, it cut
W.- from tlris solitary peg, as from the lamentable state
»f liis Department, will very soon be the case, he will, with
•is. have not an inch of ground to rJand on. All that is
desirjibli- in his reputation, with us, is his efficient talent:
take that awav, and there are few, we dare say, however
j luimlile, v.lui would desire to appropriate to himself the

FIUI5I THE CHARLESTON MERCURY, 2d illit.
By the schooner S. S. Mills, Capt. Southwick, arrived
yesterday from St. Augustine, wc le.aru that two of Gen.
Hernandez’s negroes who were captured last year by the
Indians, had made their escape and returned to St. Augus
tine on Saturday last, 25th inst., who stated that about
401} Indian wurriors of Philip’s gang, hud concentrated
near I’ilatlakahah, and that Abraham had gone to General
Jcsup and given himself up where he intonded to remain.
Large numbers of Indians were reported as being in tho
vicinity of Mosquito. Thus ends another truce farce.
By the schooner Polly, Capt. Felker, arrived from Jack
sonville, we learn that Gen. Jcsup had sent to Garev’s fer
ry, for 400 horses to renew the campaign, the Chiefs not
having conic in according to agreement, and that the steam
er I orester had been despatched to Savannah on Satur
day hist.

THE AVAR NOT ENDED YET!
Ou Sunday night lust, information was received from
(leu. Jesup’s Camp, at Dade’s Battle Ground, and wc re
gret to state, that it is far from cheering. It'is stated that
the Indians have held no talk, nor a ve the Chiefs return
ed as they agreed to. Gen. Jesup was to wait until Satur
day. when he would re-commcnce hostilities. About one
hundred Indians bad been in tho Camp, and Abraham and
others were allowed free ingress »nd egress. On Saturday-
night last Gen. Hernandez’s two negroes, Aleck aud Ste
phen, who were taken by the Indians in May last, returned,
having' effected their escape on horseback. We have not
seen them, hut wo learn that they State, that there is u
great ileal 'of ilissention in the Nation. The Chiefs are
willing to give up, but the young Warriors ure averse to it
—that they have plenty of ammunition—that Philip’s tribe
at Topkoliky have not been disturbed—and that they
have a force of more that 400 lighting men—that in the at
tack upon the brea.t work at Lake Monroe, they lost one
killed and three wounded—and that the party did not know
of the Armistice. A report prevailed among them that Ge
neral Jcsup, beholding out the offer of a talk, intends to get
them, hand-cuff them, and sliip them off, und this has pre
vented their attending. Many of them are now going
South with their families. These negroes are tube examin
ed fin relation to the correspondence whicli has been car
ried on with the negroes in town, and much interest
ing information is expected from them. They are in pri

FROM THE SAVANNAH RE TV DLTC A X.
W <• are indebted to a friend for the following extract of
a letter, received this morning, from an officer in the U.
S. Army, now under Gen. Jesup, dated
“Fort Dade, (Big Witlilaeoochee)Fob. 22.
“I was with Jesup in his recent operations against the
Indians: lmt as our march was not very fruitful nf incident,
arfd vou will probably have seen the accounts in the papers,
it will not be very interesting for me to repeat all the parti
culars: suffice it to say, that we killed a few, made some
prisoners, aud, what we relished with much greater gout,
took a great many cattle. One of the prisoners was sent
nut to invite the troublesome rascals to come in and submit
to the terms of die treaty of Pain’s Landing, which pro
vides for their removal West of the Mississippi; anil the
result was, a cessation of hostilities, and their agreeing to
meet us at this place on the 18th instant. Abram is, as yet,
the on]v distinguished character who has honored us with
;l visit—the rest being generally common Indians anil ne
groes.
These promise that the chiefs will be in in a few days
hence. Whether they speak truly, or are only amusing us,
a short time will determine. 1 understand that about a
hundred have collected in the neighborhood, and it is sup
posed they are waiting to hear from Fhiiip before they
take anv further steps in the business. I saw Jumper at
the Big Cypress Swamp, (the. place we fought them,) anti
he pledged himself to use his inlluence to persuade the In
dians to remove.
After all, it seems that Powell is not the great gun we
supposed him to be in the last campaign. The world has
made him the hero of the war, much to the prejudice of
other Chiefs of greater influence. This year we hardly
hear his name meiitionuil. By the way, ussist me in cor
recting a very common blunder in regard to his cognomen.
“ Oseola” is the name with which the writers have christen
ed him; but his true Indian name is “ Asse Y ohola, which
means the “black drink call”—a sort of gurgling noise
which is made by the individual who hands around the bjack
drink, whilst the rest are regaling themselves with that plea
sant beverage. The use of this drink seems to be quite an
indispensable custom before partaking of their “green com

Murder.—A murder was committed in Upson county
on Sunday last, upon the body of Mr. Hiram Sbnbot, by
three individuals, by the name of Isaac, Henry, mi Mel-
sher White, who were the brothers-in-law of Smoot/ It
appears that a short time since, Smoot had married the sis
ter of the Whites, and that an animosity had 1 existed a-
gainst him in consequence of it—-that on Saturday previous
to the murder, one or two of them had attacked him tffcile
at work on his plantation, but were rathef worsted in the
encounter. On Sunday, Smoot and his wifiS went to the
house of their brother-in-law by the name of Baker, where
he was followed by the Whites, and suddenly attacked in
the yard, and knocked down with a stick, and afterwards
struck on the head with a rock. He got up and went into
the house, where he was again attacked by the Whites; and
beaten until rescued by his w ife. He lived but a short time
afterwards. A blow he received from a rock on the teAi-
ple is supposed to have caused his death. Isaac and Mel-
sher White were arrested during the night, and are now hi
custody—and as the Superior Court is sitting, it is probable
they will meet a speedy reward for their crime.—Macon

After having employed seven days in the examination of
witnesses, in the case of the contempt of it* authority, by
a witness summoned before one of its committees, tlie
House of Representatives, as our readers were informed in
our last, broke off in the midst of their enquiries, and dis
charged the accused free of censure, and yet not exculpa
ted. \\ ithout entering now into the morit of these extra
ordinary proceedings, it may be remarked, we suppose
without oflence, that the House ought not to have brought
Mr. Whitney to its bar, unless with the intention to vindi
cate, in on« way or other, its lawful authority in the mat
ter. The effect of the late proceedings must he to lessen
the respect paid to its mandates; and they nmy hereafter

War.—Prince Eugene, who was ono of the very ablest
among the renowned generals of his day, and who had gain
ed honor in many a well-fought field of battle, made the
following remarks in relation to war:
“ Tho thirst of renown sometime* insinuates Itself Into
our councils under the hypocritical garb of national honor.
It dwells on imaginary insults, it suggests harsh and abu
sive language, aud people go <*n from one thing to another
till they put an end to tho lives of half a million of men.
Tlie call for war proceeds generally from those who have
no active share in its toils, as cabinet ministers, women,
and the lounging politicians of a large town.”
We regret to learn that rumors of Mr. Webster’s resig
nation acquire strength. We find the following in the Bos

We have seen a letter from n gentleman at Washing

sured me to-day, that he should resign his seat in tho Se-
nato at the end of the session. He says he has been four
teen years in succession a member of Congress, from our
State, and must take a resjiito to utten.I to his own private
affairs.”
Earthquake.—The shock of an earthquake was dis
tinctly felt in Quebec, on the morning of the 9th instant.
Its duration was from half a minute to a minute, and the
buildings were so much agitated as to shake the furniture,
wake persons in their lied*, and occasion the hinges of the
doors to creak. It was accompanied by a rushing sound,
such us is heard when a flue is on fire.
Illinois.—A bill on the subject of Internal improve
ment on an extended scale, in this State, has been ordered
to a third reading in the House of Representatives, by an
overwhelming majority. A great central, rail road is the
basis of the system, anil it is proposed to borrow 8,000,800
of dollars, for which, the faith of the State is to lie pledg

Something new.—A committee of the Massachusetts
Legislature have reported a bill authorizing the Governor
to appoint a practical experienced fanner, to make an agri
cultural survey nf the Commonwealth, and to make a de
tailed report every six months. Tho sum of $ 2,500 to be
appropriated to the purpose.
Louis M’Lanf..—The Wilmington Gazette, in reply to
some remarks of ours, says that Mr. Louis M’Lonc chang
es his position from New-York to Baltimore, less with n
view to pecuniary emolum*at than to promote the great
objects of tho latter city in the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road. The object is worthy the talents f the distinguish
ed gentleman. We wish him success, as we wish success
to all who devote time and talents to the promotion of in
ternal improvements—that source of jmblic and private
wealth, and of national union. It is a good sign for the
republic, when men who have occupied the stations which
Mr. M’Lane has filled, and which he might, with a little
more flexibility, ha ve continued to fill, or to look down upon
find hoi;-nr and content in the discharge of duties uncon
nected with political office—secure in the possession of
talents and character, and in tlie reward of earnest and
honest industry, satisfied with a “ private station.

On F’riday a bill was passed in the Senate, to increase
the army by an addition of about 5,500 troops—nearly
double the peace establishment, when this Administration
came into power to retrench expenses, and to restore the
Government to its original republican simplicity. Five
thousand five hundred men at one dash!—and that, too, at
a time when we are at profound peace with all foreign na
tions ! This will increase our annual expenditures about
one million and a half of dollars per annum. Bui what of
that ? They have just found out that the greater their ex
penditures the greater is their economy. This is but the
beginniug. If the fortification bill pass, we must have six
ty thousand more troops to man them, and a proportionate
increaseof expenditure to support them.—V. S. Tele.
There arc, it is computed, not fewer than 3000 attorneys

American Silk.—W« have within this week had an dpA

silk, from the incorporated establishment of Samuel Mfhit-

account of speculation in land in that city Und neigh

“ The animation in real estate for a npwlh post has been
active, and extensive sales effected at enormous profits.
First, the town of Bath was sold for 5 or $600,000 that
nine months since cost $ 35,000. Thou came “ Uncle
Sam” CO miles from New-Orlean», which sold for about
$ 500,000. This town is on the New-Orleans and Nash
ville rail road, and has great advantages of water-power.
Next came Harlem, 8 miles above New-Orleans on the ri
ver, which cost $ 40,000, and was sold under the hammer,
at $ 220,000!! at five annual payments. The corporation
of the second municipality, bought, a square or two of

General has stated his intention to put in operation an ex
press from this city along the route «f the national rood to
Sl Loom, passing through the capitals of Ohio, Indiana,
and Illinois, and connecting by a branch with Cincinnati
uit ,and the southwestern States.
J He states, with reference to the experiment that has al
ready been made of an express m*;i that:
“ The amount of postage on letters sent and received by
the present express mail at the cities id New-York, Phila
delphia, Baltimore, and Washington, during the last month
yielded a revenue exceeding its cost. That it w ill largely
add to the general revenues of the Department, instead of
diminishing them, there is now not a shadow of doubt.”
At a recent court in the State of Maine, a whole family,

ident Jackson. The Jefferson cheese presented by the cit.

iu diainetor, two feet thick, and weighs fourteen hundred
pounds. It was transported through the state of Now*
York with great parade, to the place when* it wa« shipped.
It reah -d Washington accompanied with a splendid painted
emblematic envelope. We understand the President de
signs to offer this great cheese, which is finely flavoured anil
and in fine preservutiwu, to lii* fellow-citizens who visit him

Unhapft Disclosure.—Olie evening last week, a'tfai-
tor in hti oyster house in Philadelphia, everheard a plan
between a couple of ciiNfruners then- eating, to commit a
forgery ou the following morning. He heart? the natim of
the liomk, but not the name of the person whose name was
to be forged, and iu the morning soon after'fhe bank Ras
opened, be repaired thither and informed the teller of what
he Ind heard. Sevaral checks had already been 1 paid, and
on looking over them he picked out ono which he pronounc
ed a forgery. They repaired immediately to the oyster
house, where the toller recognized in iv roiitig man present,
tlit! one who hail presented tho check, and ho accused
him of it. The vising man confessed, annf refunded ull the
money, on condition that his name should not lie disclosed.
Tho affair having reached the ear of tlir merchant wlmw
name had lieen mod, he insisted upon knowing the name-
of the forger that he might bring him to punishment. The
teller positively refused, and the merchant became so en
raged as to use threats, when, finding it impossible to ap
pease him, he called him into a private room, and then
informed him that the culprit .was his orrn son. Tin* fa
ther’s feelings can be better imagined than described.
Whale Fisheries.—Every on- hears of the whale fish--
eries, and yet we will venture to assert not one person in
ten thousand has a pnqier conception of the vast value of
this branch of trade. Our eastern brethren have long turn
ed their attention to this department, of eommeree, anil
have been gathering from the vasty deep treasures that rost
them nothing save the toil and expense of collection. Dur
ing the year 1836, there wen- imported into the United
States, 130,998 barrels of spermaeeti oil, valued at % 3,031,-
154 ; also, 129,908 barrels of whale oil, worth $ 1,801,110,
and whalebone, the value of which is estimated at $259,193
—making a total of f 5,089,491 ! In the year named, there
were!42,000 bis less of spermaceti, and 9,317 barrels more
of while oil imp irted thin in the preceding twelve months.
Tho data from which the above estimate* are tiki 0 are
in some instances from actual gauging, and in other* front
the quantity stated on arrival. The value of the bone is
by estimate. Thus far. the whale fishing lias found no vo
taries a* far south as the Chesapeake, although the Dela
ware has of late years participated in its benefit*. Why

patent Cotton Gin, of which w e made a notice some time
since, says the New-Orleans Bulletin of Monday, was put
jn operation on Saturday last, to the entire satisfaction of
large number of competent judges, who were present.—
The genera! opinion seems to lie that it not only causes
great saving of lalior, but also improves the quality of the
staple so much, as to enhance its price from a to J{c in a
pound.
The best proof of the success of the patent,- is, that se
