UNITED STATES BANK INTRU-
^[ () y TIIE FACTS.—We made two
specific objections to the late transfer, and
lhe subsequent management, ofthe Iusur-
nC( . iJank of Columbus: 1st, That the
purchase had been made by a foreign cor
poration having no legal existence in
iljoonna; 2d, 'i’liat the directors appointed
fry tbis foreign corporation, are not hold
ers, bona fide, in their own right, of fifty
shares of the stock of the institution. We
have no personal knowledge of these facts;
but our belief of their existence grew out of
n number of circumstances concurring to
establish them, to which we have hereto
fore adverted Their existence, or their
nou-existeuce, is known with certainty by
lhe parties to these transactions. They
have not been denied bv any responsible
person. What docs this silence mean?
1),, ihe intruder and its friends disregard
public opinion? Far from it. A large
part of the nullifying press lias teemed
with articles, editorial and communicated,
addressed to the public in justification of
the intrusion. The editorials of one of
these papers, the Columbus Herald, show
an intimate connection between its con
ductors and the managers of this institu
tion; tliev mark it as the confidential organ
of the United States’ Bauk. Then why
this ominous silence? The charges have
been observed; they have been felt; and
they have been evaded. Why has not
Col. Iluntcr, late a Cashier, and still a
visible representative of the United States’
Hank, denied the existence of these facts?
"Why has their existence not been denied
bv the present directors of the Insurance
Bank of Columbus? Why has not some
nmeofthe many' advocates of the intruder
been authorized to give to an enquiring
people, a plain and unvarnished history
■of tke transaction? This obstinate, per
severing silence is more than ominous.
It is a full confession, it is conclusive evi
dence of the existence of the facts.
On the first of these facts we remark,
that the United States’ Bank, being an
artificial person created by a statute of
IVnnsvlvanin., has no legal existence in
(Jeoigia; and, therefore, cannot acquire or
link! property within the limits- of this
Stale. This fundamental objection can-
nut be obviated by any artifice, manoeu
vre, disguise, or subterfuge. A corpora
tion, whose existence is only co-cxtensive
with the laws of Pennsylvania, and there
fore confined within the limits of that state,
cannot he permitted to bring a vast capi
tal into (Scorgia, and to exercise a bound-
less control over the business transac
tions, the fiscal operations, and tlfc politi
cal character of our State. The attempt,
in its character, is as open to objection, as
would he the attempt ol an alien to acquire
a vast real estate within the limits of
Georgia; ami it is more hostile to the spirit
of our laws.
On the second fact we remark, that
it is in direct violation of a clause in the
charter ol the Insurance Bank of Colum
bus, which is in the following words:
‘•None hut a stockholder entitled in his
own right to fifty shares, and being a eili-
Z|, n ol the State, and not being a director
of any other bank shall be eligible as a
director.”
If the names of the present directors
love been entered on the books of the
bank for fifty shares, each, of which they
!lre not the real owners; if the shares which
have served as their qualification, are not
h'Mjhlr, their own property, but tire held
1’}’ them as agents, or representatives, or
trustees; then has the charter been deli
berately and craftily violated by the in
truder. The legal, the judicial conse-
qiiencc of this fraud on the law, is an
abrogation of the charter, with forfeiture
of all the privileges which it had conferred.

CoxoNp.i. Cctiiiikkt—iii my former number
U|>o« the subject of the purchase by the United
Slates’ liank of Pennsylvania, of the Insurance
I'ank of Columbus, I expressed my surprise to
•I’d tbosu who claim to be State Bight's men,
yielding to this insidious invasion of the charter
ed rights of the citizens of Georgia, and pro.
•pectively, those of the people at large. I
R '! i r ru d diat it was virtually and effectually the
V 1 °f the United States, seeking to intrude
Mi i into the State in defiance of its authority.
mte seen no reasons to doubt it yet. It was
flot * m, 'ltcr of surprise iliat the shaver and the
Speculator were found to be the advocates of the
Pleasure; for ihc morals of the present day
• -i pear to be regulated by interest alone. In
tunes of pecuniary distress, neither the one nor
’ in other are the loosers by it, but actually
gamers; such a state of things affording them
’v opportunity to grind the faces df the poor
? I distressed to their pecuniary advantage.—
md not supposed that the merchant would be
S(l short-sighted as to believe it would work a
l l( n uinont benefit to him in the regulation of
| 'change; for the new arrangement would only
la 'o the effect of,placing that matter in the
m "ds of a single institution virtually without
competition, instead of leaving it where it now
Js, with competition; and hence a greater pro-
ability of an equitable charge. As for the
'Miring classes of community, it was taken for
planted, theirs being the main interest in
Jeopardy, that they would oppose it “on masse.”
■ jrange to tell, however, the number of its ad-
'ocates is not a few; and disreputable as it is,
find but increasing evidences of an opinion,
"at the Slate is utterly impotent t» redress her.
Sl «f the grievance, and drive the insidious
"itruder from iis confines. And still more
Mange to tell, it is seen that tl|is opinion is held
almost exclusively by those, who, but a few
slidt months ago, were clamorous nigli unto
revolution, for the omnipotence of tiuit very
Statu authority which is now brought into con
tempt by them. A reflection or two just here.
E 101,1 ai1 extraordinary enlargement of State
authority, which lias been-asserted for a sin,,
State, the power to control the entire confedera
cy, many of the advocates ol that doctrine ar
now found denying to it, the authority to con-
trol a banking corporation. From the position,
that the Slate cun in her primary assembly
abrogate government and reduce itself to
original elements (a power which is not denied,)
a precipitate and inglorious retreat is made to
the ground, that she may not suspend the bank
ing privileges of a monied institution. IIow,
Mr. Editor, is this? Can it bo true that whilst
government itsell must yield to the omnipotence
ot the people, the people themselves, in inter
impotency, must yield to a bank charter? Why
should tfiis lie so? Is a bank charter an emana
tion from the Deity, that it cannot bo touched?
Is it as the vicegerent of heaven, mantled with
the “divine right of kings,” and as such, above
the control of human agency? or is it the crea-
tui’3 of the legislative power of an organised
community? If the former, who shall have tlie
temerity to declare it? And if the latter, who
will say that it is superior to its creator? And
if not superior to its creator, who will gainsay
the authoriiy of the people through their con
stituted authorities, to modify, to revoke or to
annul it? If they cannot at their will, and for
causes which shall appear to them justifiable, do
this, then they have been guilty of the extra
ordinary folly of creating within the limits of the
State, an institution greater and more powerful
than themselves. This would argue the ex
istence of a ridiculous anomoly in our system,
and would present the case of a people having
instituted a government for the common good,
security, anJ convenience, yielding to their
forms, which are producing the opposite results.
This indeed would be a sacrifice ol ihc ends of
society to the means.
Mr. Editor, the idea of divinity, which, by
the advocates of Biddle and his bank, appears
to be attached to buuk charters, is in my hum
ble opinion a foolish and monstrous heresy; and
if perhaps a little earlier conceived, would have
rid the country of the trouble of redressing
themselves of (he old bank and its corruption.—
Piiy Air. Biddle’s friends had not thought of it
a little sooner. It would have saved the good
people a deal of trouble, and the monster front
an untimely grave.
In opposing the establishment of branches or
agencies of the new bank within the limits of
Georgia, we are met.by every species of sophis
try which ingenuity can invent. Says one,
“Where’s the danger ot exchanging a sound for
an unsound currency ?” This qucsiion assumes
for granted that which does not exist, to wit: an
unsound currency. It is builded upon false
premises; and if this be made to appear, the
conclusion of course tails. What is the fact?
Is the circulation of Georgia unsound? I think
not. Let us inquire of the farmer, who has
been handling the reward of his labor, if lie
has received lor it a spurious and baseless medi
um. lias lie lost any thing this season by re
ceiving the bills of broken banks? 1 know of
no instance of the kind, nor have 1 heard of
any. Who then has suffered? Is it the me
chanic? Certainly not. Tell us then who has
felt or seen this unsound currency? No body,
sir. The merchant has received in payment
of his accounts the same sound currency in
which the working classes have been paid, so
that this fancy about “exchanging a sound for
an unsound currency” is but “a story of the
moon.”
But it is said that the stockholders had tlio
right to sell, and consequently the bank had the
right to buy. In the first place, it is denied
that the right to sell and the right to buy are
always correlative. In the second place, it is
denied that the stockholders had the right to sell
either to the United Stales’ Bank or its agents.
Now if they had, they obtained it from the legis
lature. The question then is, Did the legisla
ture intend to grant them this power? This is
easily ascertained, when it is asked, whether it
would have, upon direct application, granted this
specific right. No man believes that they would
have done so. Then if the legislature which
grouted the charter, did not intend, and would
not have given to the stockholders of the In
surance Bank of Columbus the power to sell to
tile United Slates’ Bank or its agents, whence
is the right to’dispose of it in that way de
rived? Nowhere. For I lay it down as a
self evident proposition, that the stockholders
have no right under the charter, to do that which
the legislature would not have done, or upon
direct application, granted them the power to
do. This transfer lias been effected in direct
violation of the spirit and intention of the grant,
and the parties concerned in it deserve the uni
versal execration of the people of Georgia.
But, says another, 1 believe the affair will
operate most beneficially as a grand check upon
the Stale Banks, in the prevention of over-issues.
To those who make this a reason for advocating
the foreign bank, permit me to say, that they
are wofully ignorant of the operations of our
monetary system. That desideratum is alrea
dy supplied; for there is now and has been in
operation for two or three years past, a system
of regular settlements among the banks, which
has so far effected, and will continue to effect
the prevention of over-issues. Besides, if this
were not true, and the State did in reality need
a guardian to watch over her banking institu
tions, it ought in all conscience to have and to
exercise the right of appoint meet.
But it will “regulate the currency and equal
! exchange.” As to the soundness of the
currency, we have already spoken. Ourcircu-
a'.iou is good, and all that we lack upon that
score, is a little more of it honestly put into our
pockets. In relation to exchange, ! have one
remark to make. During the existence of the
old Bank of the United States, it was at one
period as high as three per cent. u|xjii Savannah.
This is the sort of equalizing we shall have
again, if this new institution in its new garb is
suffered to fasten its fangs upon us. The rate
of cxchargc between the north and the south is,
I learn, from one and a half to two per cent,
which is one third lower than it was formerly
between Augusta and Savannah. There is
another material fact connected with this brauch
of the subject which should be remembered. It
is this. Since the expiration of the old Bank of
the United Slates, and the consequent introduc
tion of competition into the exchange market,
our local banks have, for a considerable portion
of that time, furnished it at par, whilst the
general average has also been lower than during
the existence of that institution. As to the idea
of equalizing it, if it be intended to convoy an
impression that the rate of exchange will assume
a fixed price, that would betray an ignorance
of the nature of exchange, and the laws both
necessary and arbitrary by which it has at all
times been governed; for whether the balance
oftradc be for, or against us, the Bank of the
United States as well as the State Banks have
found it to their interest to charge lor it, almost
at all times.
So much for the objections, or rather the
arguments which 1 have heard in favor of the
transfer. If there be more, and I knew them, it
would be worse than idle for me to attempt to
follow the advocates of foreign intrusion into all
the labyrinths of sophistry by which it is at
tempted to bolster up this dangerous intruder.—
The plain truth is, that the opposition of many
to any measures of redress against this Bank, is
founded on their violent hostility to the measures
of President Jackson. It is known to them,
that he is the unbending enemy of that institu
tion in any shape it may assume—hence their
friendship for it. Thetr principles appear to
consist in op|>osing every thing he advocates,
apd advocating every thing he opposes—tho
good of the country in the meantime being over
looked. And now, sir, let me conclude this
article by reaffirming what I before said.
The people of Georgia and of the Union well
remember iLe contest which terminated the ex
istence of tiro Bank of the United States as a
national institution. That indeed was a contest
between power and the jicople. The friends of
civil liberty, pending that contest, had frequent
forebodings that this monster institution wou.'d
prove too strong for them. Finally, however,
they had reason to supppose they had triumph
ed. But, sir, it appears lhat they had “scotched
the snake, not killed it;” and if the people of
Georgia may not by virtue of their rightful
authority expel the monster from among them
—if after all that has been said and done by
them, it shall be found to “rise and be itself
again,” then indeed is il true that this monied
monopoly is greater and stronger than the peo
ple, and all that remains to be done is, quietly
to submit to its death-grasp.
Sir, the pride, the patriotism and the intelli
gence ol Georgia cannot, ought not, and will
not submit to this shameful humiliation. The
true question is between Georgia and the bank;
between the citizens of our State and the citizens
of Pennsylvania; between uur own people and
foreigners.
Who will declare for the Bank? Who for
the Englishman? Now is the time to test, who
are the real State Right’s men. Wo shall see*
NO STOCKHOLDER.
IMPORTANT FROM FLORIDA.
Col- Andrews, U. S. Army, arrived at
St. Augustine, 11th inst. express, and in-
lortns that Gen. Jesup had an engagement
with the Indians, which lasted two days.
On the second day, Jumper and Alligator
came in under a Hag of truce, and surren
dered themselves, staling tha t the Indians
were in a distressed situation, and anx
ious for pence.
During the engagement, four U. S. sol
diers and lour Indians were killed—one
hundred Indians and Negroes were taken •pri
soners. Col. Andrews informs that Jum
per and Alligator appointed the 18th inst.
as the day to conclude a treaty at Dade’s
Battle Ground, and had despatched ex
presses to the Indians to inform them of
the arrangement. They stated that Powell
was on an island in the Withlacoochee,
with about one hundred and fifty follow
ers; they supposed that he would come
to terms, and should he refuse, they would
point out where he was. All hostilities
were to cease by both parties until after
the LSih inst.—Char. Courier, 14th inst.
Indian Hostilities.—We published on
M mduy last, an extract from the Floridian
of 2>tli ult. narrating the attack by six
Indians upon three wagons, near Talla
hassee, driven by negroes, one of whom
escaped. Several of the citizens cf Talla
hassee started on the 2Slh ult. in pursuit of
the enemy.
The Tallahassee Watchman of 1st inst.
furnishes the following:
“On Sunday, a small party command
ed by Cupt. Johnson, fell in with the In
dians at the Econfena. They were fired
on by the Indians, and promptly returned
the fire. Owing to the softness of the
ground our men were obliged to dis
mount, and give chase on foot; but as the
enemy had already gained the opposite
side of the stream, although our men
promptly crossed, vet they were not able
to overtake them. Capt. Johnson and his
spirited company, however, succeeded in
recovering all the negroes, mules, and
plunder carried off by the Indians. The
wagons, we learn, belonged to Capt. Fitz
gerald and Dr. Munro, of Gadsden.”
THE UNITED STATES AND
MEXICO.
Public attention is beginning at present
to direct itself to the state of the relations
between the United States and Mexico;
and the letter ol Mr. Forsyth to Mr. Ellis
having shown the wrongs and injuries
committed by Mexico on the persons and
property of citizens of the United States
since 1S32, it may be well to recall the
recollection of some other wrongs commit
ted prior to that time. It is well known
that many American citizens have been
imprisoned at Santa Fe ot New Mexico,
and only released alter long detention,
much suffering and total loss of all the
property or money .which they had in pos
session. Of those instances of outrage,
the case of Mr. Demun and Mr. Choteau,
of St. Louis, Missouri, and their twenty-
four companions, will be stated, as com
promising within itself greater and more
complicated outrage than the history of
civilized nations has produced in modern
times. The points presented by it arc,
the invasion of our territory by an armed
force of 200 Mexican dragoons—the seiz
ure of 2G American citizens on the terri
tory of their own country; the deportation
of these citizens out of the United States
into a foreign country; their incarceration
in dungeons and in irons for forty-four
davs; their sham trial before a mock court
martial; the menace to shoot them; the
plunder of $30,000 from them; their dis
charge, naked and defenceless, to make
their way from Santa Fe to St. Louis, at
the immenent hazard of starving to death
or being killed by the Indians. The ac
count is taken from the public documents
of ISIS, as communicated to Congress by
the Department of State, under a call from
the House of Representatives.
For these enormous outrages; outrages
to the territory of the United States; to the
property, and to the persons, of their ci
tizens; "outrages transcending any thing
in complicated and revolting enormity,
known in the modern history of civilized
nations, no redress of any kind has vet
been obtained. Twenty years have roll
ed over, but the claim for justice and sa
tisfaction is not dead. At the last session
of Congress the attention of the Senate of
the United States was called to this sub
ject by Dr. Linn, one of the Senators of
Missouri, and on his motion a call was
unanimously made on the Slate Depart
ment for all the information which was ne
cessary to its complete understanding.—
Globe, 10/A inst.
A new dailv paper has been commenc
ed at New Orleans, called “ The Picayune.”
It is said to be, as its name imports, a little
one, but full of fun and frolic.
Harry White, convicted for being con
cerned in burning the Treasury building
at Washington City, in March, 1S34, was
on Friday last sentenced by the Circuit
Court to ten years imprisonment in the
Penitentiary.
The expenditures of the City of New
York for the year 1S3G, are estimated at
$3,000,000. *$1,000,000 for improving
the streets.

DINNER TO GEN. CLINCH.
In pursuance of previous arrangements, about
200 guests sal down to a sumptuous dinuer at the
’Eagle and Phoenix, at G o’clock. Every thing
was in magnificent profusion and displayed in
Mr. Batty’s best stylo. IndeeJ, glancing at the
decorations, with the festoons of evergreens, be-
tokening the perpetual greenness of laurels which
were beneath them, qo one could doubt that the
fingers of Beauty had been busy in the arrange
ment. The Hags of the Blues aud Hussars, and
the Withlacoochee banner were iri graceful sweep
over the heads of those who bad borne them aloft
in the wilds and hammocks of Florida. A cheer
ful harmony pervaded the company, and youth,
manhood, and old age, with one consent, joined
in honoring the friend of their brothers and sons
in scenes of danger and of death.
Tho Mayor, Samuel Hale, Esq. presided, as
sisted by Gen. Walker, Judge Holt, Judge
Wilde, and Andrew Kerr, Esq. On the deliv
ery of the 3rd toast, Gen. Clinch, when the pro
longed cheering had ceased, rose to address the
company; but his feelings rendered him very
short, being, evidently, deeply affected by tbis
exhibition of kind regard manifested towards
him. In concluding, he toasted the Blues and
Hussars, amidst thundering applause.

COTTON.—We have the same dull market to notice,
notwithstanding tlie recent accounts from Liverpool to the
3d January which represent' d iliat market in a healthy stato
and a fair business doing. The enquiry here is principally
for the belter qualifies of cotton, w hich are held in store hy
planters, and limited at prices, above our present rates. In
ferior cottons are dull of sale, and holders wishing to sell
are compelled to tower their rates in order to induce pur
chasers intake hold. Our stork of cotton at present is in
■ lie vicinity of 27,000 hales, of whirh not over 500 bales are
on the market. Our receipts continue light, owing no doubt
to tlie bad state of the roads, and the greater portion of that
coming in continues to go into store. Tlie sates from ware
houses, as fur as they have come to our knowledge, reach
only 533 hales, which wore disposed of as follow : 5 hales at

grain has arrived at the port of New-York,
f*om foreign ports, as follows: Bremen, 1938
bags of wheat; Marseilles, 8000 bushels of
wheat; Trieste, 3G58 bags of rye; Dantzic, 1G0
casks of wheat.
CAYENNE PEPPER vs. ABOLITION.
Ludicrous Scene.—The Boston Traveller relates the lot-
lowing:—A singular scene occurred yesterday in the Artists’
Gallery, during an anti-slavery meeting. Mr. Staunton,
who was addressing the numerous assemblage, felt a sudden
affection of the lungs, amt was obliged to suspend his re
marks hy reason of coughing. The propensity seemed con
tagious; immediately great numbers of the audienca set a
sneezing and coughing; a rush was made for the door, and
the meeting was completely broken up. On examination,
it appeared that some mischievous person had sprinkled
CAYENNE rzrrEE on the heated stove in the room, which
soon infused its sternutatory powers among those present.
Murder.—Mr. XV. C. Charles, known in Mobile as
Dr. Charles, was way-laid near the theatre on the night of
the 3d instant, in that city, and beaten and bruised in such a
manner ns to die on the subsequent morning. His person
was rifled of about $3,000, a watch, &c. He was the keep
er of a faro bank, and a roulette table.
A letter irom Texas (says the New York Sun) received
hy Mr. John A. Coomhe, of that city from his brother
Alexander Coomhe, describes an individual who has just
obtained a lieutenancy in the Texian army, anil who was
suspected of being no less a personage Ilian Robinson, the
supposed murderer of Helen Jewett.
A Second Elijah.—The New Haven Register states, tha
a ham near lhat city was destroyed by fire on the evening
of tho 25th ult. by a man by the name of Platt, who con
ceived the notion of going up to Heaven ns Elijah of old
did, in a charriot of fire, sot fire to the hay and lay down
by the side of it, expecting to he wafted upwards; but the
fire scorch' d and pained him so that his faith failed him,
and lie was induced to have the chariot nnd escape on foot.
This second Elijah, who had not the faith of him of old,
has since Ibund himself safelv secured to this terrestrial
sphere by the bolts and bars of the New Haven jail.
Worthy of Imitation.—The distillers of grain in Frank
lin county. Pa. have held a meeting, in Chambersburg, at
which they unanimously resolved to so regulate their busi
ness, either by its reduction or suspension, as to adapt it to
the existing exigencies of the public, as regards the present
scarcity and dearness of bread stuffs.
Efccofion.—A better safeguard for liberty than a stand
ing army. If we retrench the wages of the schoolmaster,
we must raise the wages of the recruiting sergeant.
The most foolish thing in the worhl.—To bow to the rich
t ill you're unahle to stand straight before an honest man.

Mrs. John's of Florida.—.This lady, who
was barbarously scnl|>cd by the Indians, lias ar
rived bore by the Ocmidgee. She is about to
visit Savannah and '.Charleston. Let our citi
zens remember that this lady has lost her all.—
Her husband was killed before her eyes, and
she threw herself on his bloodin'; body, to pro
tect hint from the tomahawk, showing that she
was true “oven unto death;” but the remorseless
savage knew no mercy, anj) she was shot and
scalped. Our cily is famous for its benevolence
—here is an object that all should pity. Cotne,
try if money can alleviate the suffering of the
poor and houseless widow.
Narraticc of the sufferings of Mrs. Johns.—
We have been favored with the perusal of a
brief narrative of the sufferings of this lady.—
Tlie work is written in a concise manner, and
the author evidently restrains himself, being de
sirous cf placing tli#naked truth before the eyes
of the public. Il will, wc presume, be publish
ed.—Darien Telegraph, 13/A inst.
Courageous Behaviour of a Woman.—The
Columbus Tennessee Observer has the following
account of a recent occurrence in that vicinity.
A Mrs. MATHEWS, who resided about four or
five miles from Columbus, was assaulted by a
negro, while her husband was absent. The
wretch attempted to cast her into the fire; but
site brought him to Iter foot on the floor, and
held hint for a time fully at bay. Recovering
himself, however, the athletic miscreant. drag,
ed Iter out of the door of her house, intending
to drown her in a pool (tear hy. On his way
thither he made a* attempt to assassinate her
with a dirk-knife, but with undaunted presence
of mind, the courageous lady wrested the wea
pon from his murderous hand, and cut his throat
tm the spot; after which she gathered her af
frighted children together, and fled to Iter near
est neighbour. The wound in tlie jugular of her
assaillant, unfortunately, not quite deep enough
for his death. The struggle, says the Observer,
lasted for a considerable tiinc;and we have giv.
ett the particulars as near as we can recollect
them. Where is the woman in a thousand,
that would not, from the great alarm, have sur-
rendered her life immediately into the hands of
tlie demon? He told her, during the fight, that
lie had made a large fire for the pur|>ose of burn-
jnir her and her children in that night, and at ono
t j,oe can?? very near putting her in it.
The FrUP '* 7| H Baptists applied to the Legis
lature of New H.jnps.'.'ire, at their recent ses.
sion, for an act of incorporation f° r their Homo
Missionary Society. The legis.'jMurt} rejected
the petition by a large majority, because, ns *>? s
alleged, “the sect had been engaged in dissem
inating the Abolition doctrines, which many of
them believe are inculcated in the Gospel.
There is a very singular CAVERN about six
miles from the town of Lafayette, Murray co.,
which is thus described by a writer in the Geor
gia Pioneer: »
The company being met, with lighted torches,
wo entered the Cave, through a small aperture,
descending a flight of natural stairs almost per
pendicularly, some ten or twelve feet, wo were
then shown the grandest and most magnificent
room that I have ever beheld, formed on each
side with the utmost regularity, and ceiled over
head with a perfectly smooth surface! and being
desirous of viewing as minutely ns wo could,
front the amplitude of this anomaly of nature,
and its various curiosities, we raised a consid
erable light, and illuminated the room as far we
could by the means wc had, when we discover
ed that an almost infinite number of stalactites,
had been formed by the almost Continual drip-
pingof the water, resembling in size and appear
ance various anirr.al bodies.
Having reached ihc extreme end of this dome,
we found, to proceed farther, we had to ascend
stupendous, and almost inaccessible heights, o-
ver craggy precipices and yawning gulphs, to
the height of some 50 or 60 feet, when, by the
dim light of our tapers, we discovered through
a small opening, another room less spacious, but
far more beautiful and picturesque; for there ap
peared to the astonished beholder, not only the
representation of a part of the animal creation,
but a true delineation of a great number of inani
mate objects, such as cones, altars, pyramids,
tables, and candlestunds, with a fac simile ot
some of nature’s choicest productions; and it real
ly appeared as if she, in her wild and playful
moments, bad intended to mock the curiosities ot
art.
“A gentleman recently from New-Oricans
stated yesterday (says the Philadelphia Inquirer
of the 28ih ult.) to a merchant of this city, that
he was in a well known great commercial house
in New Orleans at the time a draft was presented
by a respectable looking man in the military un
dress of an officer. The applicant inquired of
the chief of the firm—whether the draft was
good? The merchant replied in tho affirmative,
and accepted it accordingly. After the military
gentleman hud gone out, the acceptor told our in
formant, that it was a draft from Gen. Santa
Anna, in favor of Texas—for five hundred thou
sand dollars!'"
Flour.—One of the causes of tho present e-
normous price of flour is the attempts of capitalists
to monopolize the article. The Schenectady
Reporter states that one wealthy individual in
Albany was in possession of 4000 barrels of
flour, and had refused $13 a barrel for the lot.
The Reporter justly adds, that if this is the case,
and wc havb no doubt it is, wc most sincerely
hope he will keep it until it is not worth six doi.
lars per barrel. We do not like monopoly in
any thing; but we most cordially abhor it in an
article of food, for the recson that it operates
more directly to the detriment of the poorer
class. An individual, who will distress the poor
for the purpose of gain, is unworthy to be denom
inated a human being.
Gas Lights in Paris.—It is stated that
the Municipal Council of Paris has de
termined that the whole of the city shall
be lighted with gas, and that the names,
of the streets, squares, and bridges are to
be painted on the lamps, in the manner
already used by shopkeepers, so that they
may be apparent by night as well as by
day. *
The boring for the Artesian well, at the
Abattoir of Grenelle, France, has got
down to one thousand and fifty feet, with
out finding water. The temperature at
the bottom, according to the thermome
ters which have been let down, is cighty-
two farenheit, while at the top it is fifty-
nine.
“ A Gentle Past.”—It was but the other itay that vra
pave a report of a “keen encounter of wit*” in tlie Virgiuia
House of Delegates between Mr. Moore and Mr. Fisher,
in which ihere is no donbt as to who was “second best.**
The last Richmond Whig furnislie* another instance,
about which, likewise, ihere car. he no mistake.
In tlie course ol Mr. Bayly’s remarks yesterday In the
House of Delegates, he was called to order hy the Chair,
on the ground that he was introducing irrelevant matter.
Mr. B. was about te appeal from the judgement ol lhe chair,
when Mr. Shinn said, let him go on, Mr. Speaker—give
him rope enough, and he will soon hang himself.
Mr. Bayly replied*—Well, if Ido, Mr. Speaker, I shall do
iliat for myself which some gentleman ought to have done
for (hem, if they had their deserts.
Mr. B. then proceeded with his argument.
The severity of lhe retort will be properly estimated when
it is recollected that Orator Shinn lies under the incubus of
several indictments at home.—Alex. Gazette.
Foxes and Wild Cats.—The State of ^Massachusetts has
paid since April, 1835, in bounty money, seventeen hund
red and ten dollars, for the destruction of 3,270 foxes, 14
wilil cats, and 1 bear, within the State, being 50 cents for
each fox, and $5 for each of the other animats.
