Virginia Redeemed.
The Richmond Whig of Monday, after an- |
nouncing the gratifying intelligence of a certain |
majority of 10 Whigs, and probably more, in the !
Legislature, says : “ But satisfactory and decisive j
as the majority of Delegates is, the election view- ■
edin reference to the popular vote, is sliil more I
satisfactory and encouraging. The numerical j
Whig vole is far out of proportion to the num- ;
her of members elected, We have compared
the vole of this year in about GO of the counties,
most of them in Eastern Virginia, with the vote
in the same counties in 18.16, and we find a
Whig gain of about 4000, and a Whig majority
of upwards of 5000. This at once overcomes
the Van Duren majority of that year, and as the
Whigs have increased in a greater proportion in
other sections, we do not hesitate to declare the 1
conviction, that the State will vote for Harrison
in the fall by several thousand majority. It is for
him now, and will be stronger for him each suc
ceeding day.
Laudable.
To give our readers some idea of the manner
in which the Whigs do things in Albany, we
extract the following from the Evening Journal:
‘THE WORK OO £ I RRAVELT OH !”
The Log Cabin will have a tremendous circu
lation. Subscribers pour in from all quarters.—

Let the opposition in Georgia manifest such
zeal, let them raise clubs in every county in the
State, and place the Reformer in the hands of ev
ry reflecting man, and Van Uurenism will become
extinct before November. Look to it, you that
value your liberties above the price of a few pal
try dollars, and see that you do your duty in this
great struggle, for the Constitution. Give the
people light,and they will rush with the impetu
osity of a mountain torrent to your standard.
Congress.
Both houses took a recess on Monday, till
Thursday, (yesterday,) to have the carpets in the
hails taken up &c. Many of the members no
doubt availed themselves of this leisure to go over
to the monumental city, to see the young Whigs,
Democrats, and Methodists in Convention.
Board of Health.
We are gratified to perceive that the City
Council have appointed a most efficient and vig
ilant board ot Health for the present year. Al
though the health of the city is such at present,
as not to require their services, and we flatter ou r
selves from the thorough investigations of the
cause of disease, and its removal by the proper
authorities, that it will continue such; yet, should
disease make its ravages again in our city, it is
gratifying to know that our board of health are
eminently deserving the confidence of the com
munity. and that their reports will be respected
accordingly, both at home and abroad.

The New York Evening Star has the follow
ing striking evidence of the economy of Mr. Van
Burcn’s Administration;
“ Mr. Andrews, a good Whig member from
Kentucky, who possesses all the blunt honesty
which characterizes the people of that Stale, whilst
dining with the President, observed a splendid
service of gold plate upon the table, and taking
one ol the golden spoons in his band, said to the
President, "Mr. Van Buien, if you will let me
take this spoon to Kentucky, and show it to my
constituents, 1 will promise not to make use of
any other argument against you—this will be
enough.”

ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN.
The Great Western arrived at New York on
the morning of the 3d inst., in eighteen days
from Bristol, bringing London papers to the 15th
and Havre to the 12th ult. We are indebted to
the politeness of the Editors of the New York
Courier and Enquirer an i Herald, for slips con
taining the news by this arrival, a summary of
which wc give below.
The Great Western arrived out on the 3d ulti
mo, in sixteen days.
The money market continues easy. The ex
changes do not improve, and a small export of
coin continues. Cotton is down l-Bd. The
duty on wheal has been reduced 4s per quarter.
Fresh Difficulties im Canton.—An En
glish vessel contrary to Capt. I Hiatt’s orders,
passed the Bogue, signed the Opium Bund, and
went up to Canton. The owner having put a
tea master on board, «as chased, taken prisoner
and sent to Canton.
Parliament adjourned April 15th to the 30th.
Col James B. Murray has as agent of North
American Trust and Banking Co., negotiated at
Puns, a further amount of $525,000 of Indiana
Slate stock at a very satisfactory rate (92 in
cluding exchange, jseveral of the bankers in Paris
are directing their attention to American securi
ties, and u confident opinion is entertained that
their sale upon the Parisian Bourse will hereafter
be constant.
The British government are evidently intent
on pushing hostilities aguins. China, and though
but in a small majority when their policy was
discussed in the House of Commons, The sub
ject was evidently treated as a party question and
not a political one.
Money is abundant, and discount at a reduced
at d remarkable rale. More confidences prevails
also at the Bank of England, the fine weather
and the improved chances of the harvest having
the principal effect, as tend-ng to remove appre
hension respecting the stocks of gold.
The reports are considerably more cheering
from the manufacturing districts, for the price of
cotton has fallen so low that a profit can now be
obtained by the spinners in Lancashire, and there
is some revival in the export trade. The foreign
markets are however greatly glutted with the En
glish manufactured goods, and so many parts of
the woild are under blockades, and other mercan
tile obstructions of various kinds, that the manu
facturing interest is looking forward with geeat
anxiety to the revival of the great markets m the
United Slates.
The weather has been very fine and the season
so favorable for agricultural operations, that there
is now a more encouraging prospect for the har
vests of the present year.
A letter from Marseilles dated Bth April states
that they have not relinquished all hope of a line
of steam communication with the United States,
but nothing is yet decided.—That Havre will
have the lino to New York, cannot, however, be
doubted-
The return of the revenue for the quarter past
away exhibits a favorable condition. The loss
on the post-office is at the rate of £1,000,000,
one million sterling per annum, hulas a progres
sive increase in the circulation of letters is shown
it is computed that the deficiency will be about
£BOO,OOO, ending the first year. As paper is an
cxciseable article, its increased consumption caus
ed by the cheap postage will add something to
the revenue.
The President’s Economy.
The late debate on the general appropriation
Bill, has developed some remarkable evidences
of Mr. Van Burcn’s economy, one of which
struck us very forcibly, was a French Bedstead
blFifteen Hundred Dollars. Wondcrifour
plain unsophisticated democrats will have any
difficulty in accounting fur the embarrassments
of the Government after learning that the Presi
dent has a bedstead that cost 1500 Dollars?
Young Men’s Convention.
The Baltimore American of Monday, after no
ticing the immense concourse of delegates to the
Young Men’s Convention, which then amounted
to several thousand, and was hourly increasing,
concludes the article in the following eloquent
and imposing tone.
The occasion which has brought together such
a concourse of young men from all parts of the
country must be something more than an ordina
ry one. What more striking evidence could be
exhibited of die deep interest fell by the people
in the coming contest than is presented by this
simultaneous aggregation of thousands in a rep
resentative capacity, who meet together for no
other purpose than to concentrate a deep, fixed,
and combined resistance to measures which men
in power seek to fasten upon the country;—mea
sures which have been tested long enough to be
condemned, and which if carried out to ultimate
completion must result in distress and suffering
even worse than have yet been experienced. The
day we venture to predict will be a memorable
one and worthy to bo recorded in history. It
will be referred to hereafter as a time when the
ardour of patriotism received a new impulse and
started afresh—when hearts were strengthened
and confidence confirmed—when the enthusiasm
of the young kindled a warmer glow in the bosom
of the old, and a new pledge was given to go
stoutly on and turn not backfiorn the well begun
work of a nation's redemption. This day will
designate a point of time indissolubly blended
with a noble effort which will ever stand forth as
a memorable one, made in behalf of constitutional
liberty and in vindication of principles for which
it is glorious to contend.
From Florida.
The report of the murder of another family
by the Indians, mentioned last week, is confirm
ed. The Indians, about fifteen in number, ap
peared on the premises of Mr. M’Leun, on the
Tologee, early in the morning, and were discov
ered by one of the daughters, who ran to the
house and gave information to the family, Mrs.
M. took her children, three in number and made
for the hammock, when they were overtaken and
inhumanly butchered by the Indiana. Mrs. M’s,
throat was cut, and her children beaten to death
with pine-knots. The Indians returned to the
house, where Mr. M.’s son, about 16 years of
age, had deteimined to defend himself, and fire I
frequently at the Indians. They then attem| led
to fire the house by means of arrows wrapped
with blazing cotton. Failing in these efforts,
one approached with a torch, but he was shot
down by the lad, and has since been found dead.
Mr. M. was absent at the time, but returned to
wards evening, to witness the inhuman sacrifice
of his family.
Information was given to the troops in that
quarter, a. toon as possible, who went in pur-
suit ; and after following the trail for a day or
two, returned without finding the Indians. The
greatest vigilance is necessary to prevent these
frequent depredations; and although several
companies of troops are continually scouting in
that quarter, the Indians seem able to elude all
pursuit. Wo know not how or when these de
predations are to be ended— Floridian Id hut,
Indians in Florida.
More outrages, attended with blood
shed. —We learn from an officer,arrived hereon
Sunday, in the General Clinch, from Garey’s
Ferry, .hat on the 271 h or 28th ult. as Capt.
Rains, 7th Infantry, with eighteen men, (all
mounted.) was returning from a scout, he and
his parly were fired upon near Fort King, by a
large party of Indians, concealed in palmettos,
near a hummock, and four of his men killed, and
five wounded, Capt. Rains himself having been
severely woundad- Capt R. and the survivors
were compelled to retreat before superior num
bers.
Capt. R. rallied his men, and returned the fire,
killing three ot the Indians, (who are supposed
to have been sixty or seventy in number.) This
new outbreak is presumed to be owing to the de
struction, by Major Loomis’ command, of some
of the crops of the savages, in the vicinity of An
nutlalliga and Harnosassa, 130 acres of corn, four
feet high, having been destroyed by the troops,
as also some sweet potatoes, partly ready for use,
and a variety of oilier vegetables.
Capt Rains, previously to leaving the Fort,
bad concealed in the hammock, a shell, covered
with blankets, which the Indians removed, and
the shell exploding, some of them, it is presumed
lost their lives, as blood was seen about the spot
by the troops.
A volunteer, named Sanders, of Capt. Hinely’s
company, was killed about the same time, by In
dians, about four miles from Newnansville, and
another man wounded. These white men were
alone.
On the same night, Stanley’s plantation, with
in ti.rce miles of Newnansville, was visited by
the Indians, and houses, with the crop of last year
totally destroyed.— Sav. Georgian.
From the Mobile Advertiser,
Gen. Harrison and the Alien and Sedition
Law.
One of the unfounded accusations against
Gen. Harrison, made by the Locofocos, is that
he was in favor of the Alien and Sedition Law
of John Adams. This charge is boldly put forth
in the administration journals, and repeated as a
fact, by their orators in the public assemblies.
The only authority adduced to substantiate this
charge is, that of the eccentric John Randolph,
who, in a speech in Congress in 1826, charged
Gen. Harrison with having been “ an open zeal
ous, frank supporter of the Sedition law and the
black cockade adminisiration of John Adams."
Gen. Harrison promptly replied to Mr. Randolph
and his speech, as reported by Gales and Seaton,
is to be found in their Congressional Debates,
vol. 2, part 1. page 365. ft is as follows.
“In the course of this debate, Mr. Harrison
said, that he could not refrain from making his
acknowledgements to the gentleman from Virgin
ia for the notice he had been pleased to take of
him. He has been pleased to say, that in the ad
ministration of Mr. Adams, I was a Federalist,
and be comes to that conclusion from the course
pursued by me in 1799-1800. At that session,
the gentleman and myself met for the first time
—he in me station of Representative from Vir
ginia, and I in the more humble one of Delegate
from the Northwestern Territory. Having no
vote, I did not think it proper to take partju the
discusnon of any of the great political questions
which divided the two parties. My business was
to procure the passagi of the hills which I intro
duced for the benefits of the people which I re
presented.—The gentleman had no means of
knowing my political sentiments, unless he ob
tained them from piivato conversation. As I
was upon terms of intimacy with the gentle
man, it is very probable tint he might have beard
me express sentiments favorable to the then ad
minisralion. I certainly felt them—so far, at
least, ns to the course pursued by it in relation to
the government of France. Nor, said Mr. H.,
was I unsupported m that opinion by those who
had a control of my actions, if not my opinions.
In no part ot the country were those measures
more decidedly approbated than by my immedi
ate constituents, the legislature of the Northwest
ern Tcnitory. as the address of that body to the
president, during that session, will clearly show.
For Mr. Adams, said Mr. H., I entertained at that
time, ami have ever since entertained, the great
est respect. I believed him to bean honest man
and a pure patriot, ami his conduct during that
session proved him to be such. This opinion, I
know, said Mr. H., was entertained by those two
able and upright statesmen, John Marshall and
James A. Bayard. [Fo the question asked by
Mr. Randolph, whether Mr. 11. recollected a con
versation between Mr. Nicholas and himself, in
relation to the negroes and politics of Virgina,
Mr. A. answered] —I recollect it perfectly well,
but can that be adduced as evidence of ray favor
ing the Sedition law ?”
It is important to note here, that the above ex
tract, which is only about one half of the speech,
as reported, has been published in many of the
Van Burch papers, among which are the Rich
mond Enquirer, Nashville Union, Ac., as proof
that Gen. Harrison admitted the charge to bo true.
They have wilfully and designedly led astray
many a “youthful orator” by withholding that
part of Gen. Harrison’s speech, in which he ex
plicitly denies the charge of Mr. Randolph. By
this unfairness and disingcnuousncss, on the part
of the loco foco journals, many an honest, well
meaning loco foco orator, is induced lo make a
charge which cannot he sustained, and by an ex
hibition of the whole speech, is made to appear
in a supremely ridiculous light before his fellow
citizens. The conclusion of the speech, as re
ported by Gales & Seaton, is as follows .-
“ Mr. Nicholas was my relation and intimate
friend; the conversation was entirely jocular, and
so considered by that gentleman at the time, and
ever after. I will never resort to any one to sup
port an assertion of mine in a matter of fact. But,
if I choose to do so, the gentleman from Mary
land, who sits opposite to me, and who was the
brother-in-law of Mr. Nicholas, knows the unde
viating friendship and support which I received
from Mr. Nicholas, through his whole political
life. Mr. Jefferson was at that time Vice-Presi
dent of the United States, and was upon the most
intimate terms with Mr. Nicholas. He took hia
scat as President of the Senate within fifteen
minutes after the conversation alluded to had
passed. If it had been considered in any other
light by Mr. Nicholas than a joke, Mr. Jefferson
would certainly have heard of it, and would cer
tainly have withheld those evidences of hia confi
dsne.c and regard which I received from him (lur
ing the whole course of his administration. But,
sir, said Mr. Harrison, mt opposition to the
Alien ano Sedition Laws was so well
KNOWN IN THE TERRITORY, THAT A PROMISE
WAS EXTORTED PROM ME 111 MY FRIENDS IN TUB
LEGISLATURE, BT WHICH I WAS ELECTED, THAT 5
1 WOULD EXPRESS NO OPINIONS InPhilaDEL inC
PHIA WHICH WSIII IN THE LEAST CALCULATED htr
TO DEFEAT THE IMPORTANT OBJECTS WITH l)Or
WHICH I WAS charged. As 1 had no vole, I ran
was not called upon to express my sentiments srm
in the House, The Republican party were nil wh
in favor ot the measures I wished to have adopt- ing
ed. But the Federalists were the majority. Pru- alel
denco, therefore, and my duly to my constituents, stai
rendered it proper that I should refrain from ex- loa<
pressing sentiments which would injuriously nf- rest
feci their interests, and if expressed, eould not low
have the least influence upon the decisions of it si
Congress.” s|)e ,
Now, we honestly appeal to all candid men, all I
does Gen. Harrison, in the above spetch, confess add
the correctness of the charge made by Mr. Ran- “
ilolph, as is staled by Thos. Ritchie and others 1 ted
No one can deny that the very reverse is true. “
Taking the speech entire, as reported in the Con- frin
gressional Debates, it is plain, that General Har- “
rison, not only did not ronjess the charge, but that heei
he intended explicitly to deny and refute it, and com
to explain the reason of Mr. Randolph’s mistake our
as to his sentiments, in a manner perfectly natii- “
ral, and perfectly consistent with his denial. that

We commend the above speech to our loco

it is very evident from recent indications that

It is necessary that one fart should be borne in
ad. Mr. Randolph is the only person who
ir charged Gen. Harrison with being an advo
e of the Sedition law, and this charge of Mr.
was immediately denied, and promptly repelled
Gen. Harrison himself, on the floor of tho
ited States Senate in the speech above report-

' These benefits we own to tho intrepidity of

Dr. Bartlett—l have lately seen published, se
rai medical directions for the cure of Bolts in
irses ; and as I do not like any of them, I think
;an prescribe a more certain and effectual rem
y. The several publications that I have seen
e not deadly enough in (heir operations to de
roy the bolls. It is well known that the bolts
e not easily removed or destroyed, and when
ey commence their operations, they will in a
lie time kill tho horse unless they are quickly
moved. Some of the publications that I have
ro, recommend fish brine, hickory ashes, spirits
d molascs, and the bowels of chickens. These
•ommendations I consider wholly idle and in
eclual, and as well calculated to cure the Spa
i or Big Head, as to kill or destroy theopera
n» of the bolts. They hold with considerable
'•city to their prey, and if nothing more dele
ious and quick in its operations is applied
in fish brine, hickory ashes, spirits and tnolas
i, or chicken guts, they will soon destroy the
rae. The only certain cure is Nux Vomica,
hen it is discovered that the bolts have com
meed their operation, take three or four but
i»or Nux Vomica, rasp them up, put them
o a quart bottle, pour into the bottle a gill of
ling water, then shake it until the Nux Vomi
is sufficiently dissolved. After doing so add
the gill of boiling water cold water enough to
went the hot water from injuring the horse:
m drench the horse with it, and it will in a
le time relieve the horse from their deadly
orations. It may be thought that it might in
e the horse—if bo, it is a mistaken idea, for I
re repeatedly made experiments with it; I have
on in desperate and stubborn case* as many
■I eighteen buttons of it, and it never injured
my horses in the smallest degree. It will not in
jure granmivorous animals, and the botls arc of
different species; they are the carnivorous ani
mals; they live hy sucking their nutriment, and
when the horse is drenched with the Nux Vomi
ca they suck in the liquid, and in a little time
they become so completely intoxicated with its
deleterious effects that they are compelled to quit
their prey—it destroys them effectually. Asa pre
ventive against the bolts, a quantity of the Nux
Vomica should be kept rasped up, and at three or
four different times in the course of the year, give
three or four buttons of it at each time to each
horse. It will not only destroy the bolts, but it
will give the horse a good appetite to eat and
make him thrive off kindly.
Yours, O. H. KENAN.
Removing the Depositss. —We learn that

The business in Cotton fortliiee weeks past has
been rather extensive, out the inferior qualities,
from the increased supply of such, have, during
that time, declined about \d per lb, while the fair
and good qualities remain steady at quite as high
rates as a month or six weeks ago. The recent
imports consist of a larger proportion of ordinary
Cotton than has been usual so early in the season,
and a lower grade having appeared on the market
than before, cMwriaMtMeeales have been made as
\ low as 4<ji].,and in some instances merchantable
’ Cotton has sold at 4.j a 4jd. while we quote fair
qualities at 5J a Gjd per lb. The depression in
the ordinary qualities has been more decided since
the 4lfi inst., when the '• Great Western’s” ac
counts were received here. The sales for the
week ended 27th ultimo, amounted to 25,300 bales;
for that ended 3d inst. they were 32,240 bales,and
for the week ended 10th inst. they were 27,670
bales. Os the latter 6290 were Upland, at aoj;
13,739 Orleans at 4} a 8; 3,900 Alabama and Mo
| bile at 6$ a 6;f, and 140 Sea Island at 11 $ a 28d per
lb. Speculators took 2000 bales, and 1500 were
taken for export. On Saturday the 11th inst. the
business was estimated at 4000 bales, and yester
day about 5000 were sold. The demand for Yarns
has been more general and extensive of late at the
low prices; and the money market is easy. The
prevailing winds, have, with partial exceptions,
been unfavorable for arrivals for some time past,
and very many cotton ships Ere now due—still the
import since the Ist January amounts to 391,000
bales against 260,000 to same period last season.
The supply from the United States is 326,000, be
ing an increase of 128,000 bales. The stock in
this port is estimated at 230,000 bales, against
264 000 last season at same period; the stock of
American is about 176,000 bales, or about 30,000
less then it than was.
