HIERARCHIES AND HYDRAS.
Science holds this candle to science. _ There are
wondrous analogies between things seemingly the re
motest from each otiicr in nature. Theology borrows
light from geology; magnetism lias its reiationsh'ps
with electricity; lac chemists aid the agrieuluirali.-t;
the astronomer Helps the chrouologist. Let nobody be
amazed if the cultivator of physiology should, hi like
mariner, prove au ally to the student ol poiit.es; and
an entomologist be found, unwittingly, the best com
ment uor ou the nature, habits, nnd genius of the bish
op.
Into these remarks have we been led by a recent
jglancr or two at the admirable work of Koget, on an
imal physiology. In such a publication we little ex-
peek'd io meet with one of toe fullo-tand clearest ex
positions of episcopacy that ha. ever, perhaps, been
given to the world. The writer, indeed, appears also
utterly unconscious of the bearing of his observations
upon the mitred heads of the church. He treats of a
class of little reptiles called Polypi, and never once
mentions the name of Exeter, Meath, London, or any
bishop on the bench, while touching, with the most
philosophic precision, and in the most luminous man
ner, on tlio leading attributes, or, to speak more cor
rectly, tiie one characteristic of Prelacy.
Without morn preface we shall lay before the read
er what be Rogct says, just indicating, as we proceed,
the happy application of every sentence to our Peers
Spiritual :—
“ The animals which belong to the order of the Pol
ypi present us with the simplest of all possible forms
of tuo nutritive orgiuis. The Hydra, for instance,
which may betaken as the type ot' this formation, con
sists of a mere stomach, provided with the simplest in
struments tor catching food, and not.'tins' more,”
The Hydra is plainly the Bishop of the insect king
dom. Before we read De Uoget, it was the wasp we
tlisught, nr the drone-bee, that wore the mitre of that
populous diocese. We were mistaken; these animals
are no more than Deans nnd Archdcicous—the Hydra
is the Hierarch. *• A mere sumach!” John Milton
never hit off the episcopal function half so felicitous
ly. " Provided with the simplest instruments for catch
ing food, and nothing more.” Prelacy! Prelacy! thou
art tile same in all thy varieties, shapes and dimensions
—whether entomological, and needing the microscope
to observe the process of thy gluttonies, or political
and as huge ns Canterbury, or as vast as Durham!
’’Walking more!”—Hydra and Bishops are “mere sto
machs,” and “ nothin a more!" How naturally do we
xliink of Herc.u' when we sp< ak of Hydras ! Eve
ry Hydra ought to have its Hercules.
We proceed with the parallel:—" A simple sac. a-
dapted to receive and digest f «d, is the only visible
■organ of it. body.” Paunch—paunch—like air John
Faistuti", all paunch! “Sirrah,” quoth the Prince,
-“ there's no room for faith, truth, nor honesty in this
bosom of thine: it is tilled up with guts and midriff.”
But to return to tho ’‘sac. This is obviously the
same as purse, or bag: it corresponds with the •* bag”
which we read in the New Testament, was carried by
* Iscariot, who transmitted it, through a long line of wor
thy successors, to its present holders. The bag is the
very stomach of episcopacy—the only visible organ ol
its body.”
Mark the next observation closely:—“ It exhibits not
a trace of brains, or organs of sense, nor any part cor-
rcs|>ondiiig to inugs, or hart. All these organs, so es
sential to the Manifestation of life in other animals,
hare been dispensed with.”
Not a trace of brain or heart! The similarity is re-
.markable. In what pe nned box might we not deposit,
without inconvenient pressing, all the illumination and
philanthropy of many Bishops! Let their parliamen
tary history judge them; let their speeches plead for
their enlightenment, and their votes for their ethics.
You shall dad that, as in the case of their insect types,
be'.!i brain and heart “hate been dispensed with.”
Again:—** Thu Hydra, though it does uol pursue the
animals <m which it feeds, yet devours with avidity all
ViaJi r.f living prey that come within the reach of its
tcntncula.”
“ lx doos not pursue I”—We readily believe it. Pre
lacy is rather too unwieldy for pursuit, in the literal
aasauiug of the term. Its pursuits are figurative; fitch
os oi .y ho prosecuted in an easy ch-triot or an elbow
chair—such as are congenial with the goat, and com
patible with a pressure of the carnal man on the spir-
stnxi equivalent to twenty stone: those of Sir GJts
Overrate. 1 :, and Ids parasite Justice Greedy, a«e exam
ples. Tho !h..hop, no si lore than the Hydra, has occa
sion to stir from his palace, or so much as to leave the
couch Ijiat groans under him. An Irish Prelate, late
ly deceased, kept his bed almost continually for several
years, not nut of any illness, hut purely through the
“ ri.iiitrrt.fr ’ of his order. He had his “ tcntacula,”
li.xe the Polypus. Woe to that which coined) within
the resell of a Bishop's IenUtctda! It is "devoured”
saitil Do Rnget, " with acidity.”
Dc It met go-ss on:—*• The voracity of the Hydra is
•very great, especially after Jong lasting.” Here, in-
«Ded, the parallel is at fault. Our Hydras fast n<> more
tin i th-v pray. Besides, it is hard to conceive how,
u.id. t any rirctirnstraicr*, they could be more vorn-
c on i than they arc at present. We should have no
ohjseti.in, however, to see the experiment tried.
Trc ably, an after eminent naturalist, found that the
.Ilydra ra iy b .• '* completely turned inside out like the
finger of a glove.” without any injury or suspension of
the functions of life. Imagine for a moment Prelacy
subjected to this process! prelacy turned inside out!
Then would Mmrnoii be seca in his delve, and Belial
fa to to face. JJ mvoii shield us from the spectacle !
We have no !■■ lira to peep ia'.o the cave of Polyphe
mus, or behold tha orgic.: of the hall of Connts.
One nwresixlraet—« curious one. It would seem
that Polypi h ive just as enlarged ideas of self-reform.
atino n» Churchmen :—•* The Hydra will sometimes,
yf its own accord, split into tiro, each division being in
dependent of the other, and growing to the same size as
the original Hydra.” Here have wo critically thepro-
c'cdinTM r 'commended in the, report of the Tory

T(*a tran,rtion has been, its mud in fa-hioimblc inat-

«f 'greo* beautifully less,” has not been thought of, but
.acre Hterc was yesterday ,a bile, there is to-diy u
spermaceti caudle—the ten yards of last night are re
placed this morning by some half ell, or perhaps a
quarter. One lady was n. sufficient oi cupant, a week

may ride quite plensantly in company. Arms are at
n tremendous discount, compared with what ibev have
been; and shoulder.-, are like India-rubber balls with
the airlct out tnrniigh a pin-hole. All this looks queer,
just now, and will stay looking queer for some time
yet, blit after a while our eyes will receive their right
tone, and then shall appi *uu the change most heartily.
Nevertheless, we beseech our fair readers not too sud
denly to run iulo the other extreme, and compress the
arm entircllv up to the shoulder, as some have alrea
dy done—thereby giving themselves somewhat the re
semblance of the undressed dolls in the packages of

Important to F< rmers.—Judge Strong, in a recent
case in our common pleas, decided that no one has a
right when making a division fence, to run half the
same on the lot of the neighboring owner; but that
it bo wholly on die land of him who makes it. The
case which called forth .he decision, was an action
of trespass for cutting a ditch in meadow land, for the
purpose of a fence. It appealed that the defendant
in this case cut a ditch some five feel wide on each
side of the line which constituted the boundary be
tween him aud the plaintiff; and the judge, iu his
charge, enforced upon the jury that by no existing sta
tute was the making of a fence on dm lot of the ad
joining owner justified; but that those cot structed
half oil one side and half ou the other, must be so
constructed bv mutual consent otherwise legal mea
sure could be ’instituted for damages, &c. The ow
ners of teal estate should recollect this decision, as
cases ill which it would be applicable are not uufre-
quent in our courts of justice —X. Bed Merc.
Benefit* of a Newspaper.—The Christian Mirror
mentions a church which, some years ago voted to
supply every familv in which one of their members
resided, with a copy of that paper This was done at
a time when thev were unable to support} a minister
without help fn.’m abroad. They luive since repaired
their house of worship—purchased a parsonage—and
educated three sons of the church—and besides sup
porting their Pastor, diev, now contribute an amount
nearly equal to his salary for benevolent purposes.
BANGOR, Jan. 17th, P. M.
Messrs. Editors—Dy a gentleman who has just ar
rived from St. Johns, N. B. we learn dint on Satur
day last about 9, P* M. a very destructive Fire broke
nut in that c:ty which before it could be arrested, des
troyed about ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY BUIL
DINGS, situated on Soudi Market Wharf on Water
and Prince William streets. The quantity of Goods
destroyed was immense, including ubout three thou
sand Barrels of Flour. The Fire commenced in Mr.
Whitney’s Store at 1) P. M. and raged twelve hours
witli unabated fury. The stores upon South Market
Wharf were all wood, and from 3 to 4 stories in height.
They were foil of alt kinds of merchandise, very little
of which could be saved. Tiie Engines appeared to
he oftio use, being very much out of order, and the
weather was extremely cold. Fear seemed t to paral-
ise the exertions of most of the citizens.
A huge number of families, by tins calamity, are
Tendered houseless, and many who were in good cir
cumstances arc how beggars.
Only one brick buiiding was left standing in tuc
whole “burnt district,” wifeb, if I recollect, was the
case in New York, at the great fire.
Two printing offices were burnt—the Observer and
the Chronicle.
The loss has hastily been esUmatcd from between
Two and Three (Millions of Dollars.
Tiie a"ent of the Hartford .Etna Insurance Office,
stated to” our informant at three o’clock on Sunday
morning that buildings to tiie amount of $tiU,OUO, in
sured by him. had then beeu destroyed, after which all
Market Wharf was burnt.
No damage was done to the shipping. As many
of the merchants of your city are probably interested,
1 have thought prop’er to give you the earliest intelli
gence, as no information has gone west as yet. Yours
in haste.
P. S. A merchant from St. Johns called at our of
fice, yesterday, and said the fire had made him worse
than nothing. Property to the amongst of forty thou
sand dollars had been destioycd which belonged to
him. There are merchants from St. Johns in the city
who are in the same situation. Editors Express.

CENTRAL BANK.
In the BauneroftheSd Dec last, we stated that
the Directors of this Institution had asked of the Leg
islature an investigation of its affairs, in consequence
of some statements which had been given to the pub
lic, impugning their offirial conduct. 1 heir request
was granted, nnd tho Committee oil Banks directed
m make the necessary examination. A sub committee
oftnree, two of wbon were palticml opponcaents of a
majority of the Directors, and the other mu considered
as bv tin means partial to the Bank, was appointed
who* made a through investigation of its banks and
papers, in which -hey were assisted by one, at least,
of those who had preferred tho charges. I he result
of the investigation may be seen iu the following Re
port:
The joint standing committee on Banks, to whom
was referred the annexed statement of the condition
of the Central Ilaua of Georgia auJ t lie romumnica-
lion or his Excellency the Governor with the uccnm-
panyitig documents, on the subject, have hud the
same under consideration, aud submit the followiug
report:
Your committee being fully sensible of die impor
tance of tiie duties committed to them, have devoted
as much time to the examination of the state and
condition of the Bat k, end its general business, as
their other duties would allow, mid they Mil rnit here
with a statement of the condition and state of the
Bank on the first instant Your committee have
carefully counted ail the bills or notes iu the Bank
and estimated with sufficient accuracy, its return
of specie op hand, the amount of its* bills iu cir-
cnlution. and ull of its other indebtedness, mid also
the amount of notes and nil hills due to the Bunk,
with its other statement of credit: all of which they
find correct and they take pleasure in stating it ns
their opinion, that its directors are now managing its
affairs in a proper manner, and with due regard to
tha interest of tiie State.
The commttteo feci bound to slate, that of the
$1,103,111 fiif. of discounted notes, $40,924 39. are
in suit, and $211,053 29. are lying over unpaid, and
n>o the whole amount of bills of exchange, discounted
by said Bank $7 J,100 is duejnud under protest.—All
oftliebills discounted are considered good; but of
the limited knowledge the committee hnve of the
makers and endorser* of the notes due to the said
Bank thev cannot express an opinion as to their
solvency. ’ They, however, take pleasure in believing
that the directors are using the l>est means in their
power, in insure the safe paymeut of all the debts due
to the Bilik.
Your committee are unwi ling to close this report
without adverting to a practice which, they are in
formed, has existed from an early dale after the Bank
went into operation which they consider not contrary
to the letti-r of the act of incorporation, but of doubt
ful policy.—By the charter no loans can be made
to an individual lor mure than the sum of $2,500.—
Yet at different times bills of exchange have been
drawn by different iudividna s, uuch for the snm of $2,-
5-K>, amt endorsed .lettered nnd discounted to the credit
of the same individual, who was one of tlieendorsera;
but in justice to the present directors, the committee
will state that the practice alluded to has not, before
this time, been noth ed by any committee of the legis.
laluro. appointed toexamiuo into and makes report
of the condition and business of the Central Batik ;
nn«f ;he committee will further state that such loans
have Leon made when mom y was lying idle in the
Bank,«. as not to interfere with loans on the days of
distribute :i among, the comities and. therefore have
been profitable to the Bank, without injury to the
citizens of thv' State.—In conclusion, therefore your
committee sub.P't fur the adoption oftlie legislature,
the following resolution
Resulted.—Thai the Directors of the Central Bank
be and they are hereby required to put all n -ties and
bills due to said Bans in unit if they are no: paid or
renewed within three njontlis from their maturity res
peclively,
An l be it further BtsolttX.—That the Directors of
the Central Bank be. and they are hereby instructed
to make no Ioann exceeding $ 2,500 to anv person up
on hills of exchange of any oil. er person or persons
whatever if they shonld be of opinion from direct
circumstantial evidence, that suc.’i bill or hills were
not offered for discimnt, for tho be nefit of the drawer

WASHINGTON Jan. 23.
The Abolition question, as far as the intention of
the House not to have the subject forccJ on them, has
been again solemnly decided for this session, tinder
novel circumstances, growing out of the Resolution
adopted on Wednesday, to lay such henceforth on the
table, without reference or other action.
The speaker announced the unfinished business from
the jast pay day to be, a Petition from Mass, praying
an interference by Congress, against Quarantine Laws,
and the imposition of Taxes, by Denmark, in the Bal
tic sea.
Mr. J. Q. Adams objected, and said, the last un
finished business was, “the petition for Abolition,
from females of Dover, Mass,” and on which, there
was a debate pending.
The Speaker decided, that tinder a Resolution adop
ted, it was included in its effect, and was disposed of;
reminding Mr. A..that the Revolution was a copy of
one adopted lastscssion (Mr. Pinckney’s,) on this sub-
ject.
Mr. A. insisted that this was l crushing of a debate
pending; it was an alteration oftlie rules of tho House,
and without complying with their usual formalities,
viz:—one day’s previous notice of such change, and
carried without a vote of two thirds of the members
E resent He appealed from tha decision of the Spea-
er, and pointed out the in justice of having heard 3
members, against the right of reception, withou affor
ding any opportunity to reply.
The Speaker referred to the decision of the House
last session, who had then over-ruled his on a similar
case. The Resolution he said, did not change the or
der of business, os the Petition was of right presenta
ble, and the House- had only made a disposition in
advance, upon all such, that might be presented.
Mr. A. contended, that the Resolution referred on
ly to such |>etitions as were to be presented. The
House without any inconvenience lie thought, cottld
decide tlte matter which was left unfinished, whether
this petition was to be received. If the House chose
to crush freedom of debate, so be it. He desired to
chim freedom of speech, and an opportunity of reply
ing to those who argued against the right of receiving
such petitions. In the forward progress of the gen
ius of slavery, the next step he supposed, would be, to
reject all snch petitions. Such being the argument
advanced, aid to which lie desired to reply. If this
was not permitted, then there was one step, one more
only to be taken, aud for might he knew, soon to be,
a motion to expel such-member as would have the
audacity to present Abolition Petitions, and if the ma
jority so determined, lie was willing to be that mem
ber.
Mr. Pinckney moved the previous question on the
appeal raised, as he said, to prevent the further discus
sion of a subject which was solemnly settled by the
general sense of the House. Tellers were called for
and the previous question being seconded, &c. The
House sustained the decision of the speaker, that the. Pe
tition from Dover should, under the Resolution of the
House, be laid on the table, without reference or debate, Sfc.
145. Nays, 32.
Mr. Adams remarked, that by this decision, they
had determined to lay on tlte table, a petition, which
was not in possession of the House.
The Speaker said, there was no difficulty about
that.
Mr. Adams said, that was the fact, and he would
not again present it, as it was already on the Journal,
as be had stated. He need not dwell further on snch
inconsistency. Mr. A., was continuing, when he was
called to order, and having taken his seat.
Mr. Cushing spoke in favor of the Memorial pray
ing the interference of Congress against tiie imposi
tion of the sound dues on U. S. vessels, which was
finally referred to the Committee on Commerce.
Sundry other Abolition Petitions 41) or 50, from
Sundry States, as a matter of course, were next
presented and laid on the table, &c. by Mr. An-
ams.
A second exciting scene wa3 got up, on the presen
tation of a Petition from “53 Luthcrian Ministers, in
New York, praying Congress to secure to all the in
habitants of the District of Columbia, equal protec
tion in tiie rights secured by the declaration of Inde
pendence,” Slavery, in terms, not named therein.
Mr. A. appealed, and after the previous question
was put, the House sustained the decision of the
Chair, to lay the subject on the table under the Reso
lution. Yeas, 170. Nays, 3!
Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2C.
In reference to Texas, Mexico and Santa Ana, we
have such a conflict of reports, that wc are utterly per
plexed to come to any satisfactory conclusion concer
ning the truth of any thing. Almost by the same mail
we get statements that Bravo is at San Luis Potosi,
and that he is heading a procession of priests at Mex
ico— that he lias resigned iiis command of the army,
and that he is on the frontiers of Texas—that tire Mex
ican army is disbanded, and that 16.009 men are pour
ing into that country—that Santa Ana will sway the
Government of Mexico to his purposes, ai:d that the
Government has ont-lawcd him, and directed that he
shall be shot wherever found. What wc are to believe
while the statements so flatly contradict each offer, it
is impossible to decide—much more does it perplex us,
when Congress is asked, solemnly, to legislate on such
a fleeting and uncertain basis.
General Santa Ana left the City this morning, by
the cars for Baltimore. He is on his return to Mexi
co. This is the day which was fixed for his dining
witli the President, hut it has been deemed proper to
throw a mystery round all his movements. There was
a snpper given at the President’s, on Tuesday evening
ns a substitute for the dinner, but nothing was known
about it out of doors, until the next morning.
A resolution was introduced into the Senate, this
morning, by Mr. Grnndy, to appoint a Committee, on
tiie part of the Senate, to join such Committee as the
House may appoint, for the purpose of arranging the
course to lie pursued in reference to the counting of
the votes for President and Vice President, &c. lie
called for the consideration of the resolution at this
time, hut it the suggestion of Mr. Clay, it was laid o-
ver until to-morrow. Mr. Clay intends to move an a-
inendmunt relative to an inquiry into tho legality ol the
election of certain members oftlie Electoral College.
This may lead to some discussion.
The Senators from Michigan, Messrs. Lncins Lyon
and John Nowell, were admitted to their seats, the Pre
sident of tiie United States having approved the Bill
for the admission of Michigan.
The Bill to prohibit the Snles of Public Lands was
taken np, briefly discussed, and further amended. The
principal amendment, was that which strikes out the
provision, that in case of forfeiture of the lands, the
purchase money shall be refunded, See. This provis
ion was stricken out. Mr. Morris withdrew his pro
position to strike out the 4tli section of the Bill. 1 he
amendments having been gone through, nnd the ques
tion being about to be taken on the amendment oi the
Committee on Public Lands, Mr. Morris moved for
the postponement of the Bill until to-morrow, but af
terwards withdrew his motion. Tlic Committee of the
whole having reported—Mr. Buchanan moved to a-
merid, by introducing a section providing that any fa
ther, cr where there is no father, any mother, may take
for each child, between 12 aud *21, any portion of the
Public Lands, not exceeding one section, on paying
the Government price. The question was ordered to
be taken by yeas and nays, but had nut been deter
mined wltep this letter was rlosed.
The IIouso of Representatives has been engagedl
during the day, on the Bill concerning the mileage o
members. It is charged, that for want of some more
specific legal standatd, there has been great over pay
ments on account of mileage; and that the abuse has
risen to such a pitch, ns to require tiie interference of
law to check it, and to prevent any recurrence of it.
Jaxvxrt 30.
■ Mr. Clay moved to-day, to take up the memorial of
the Colonization Society, praying tor an act of incor
poration. Cries of “ No! No!” were heard in several
ports of the Chamber; on which Mr. Clay asked for
the yeas aud nays, in order thnt the sense of the Sen
ate might be ascertained, as to the propriety of acting
on the subject; and they were accordingly ordered.
The question was then taken by yeas and nays, and
wus decided in the negative. Yeas 16—Nays *26.
So that the question, with tlte chartering of this So
ciety, may be considered as put to rest for this session.

IMPO RTA NT—TEX AS.
Santa Anna, it is officially announced proceeds di
rect to Norfolk, from whence he is to be conveyed in
the Pioneer, to such port in Mexico, (Vera Cruz is
named,) as he shall designate.
The expected move by the House, in favor of the
recognition by Congress of the independence of Tex
as, was made yesterday, and ere this closes I may be a-
ble to state the result.
On the 17th, Mr. Howard, the organ of tho Admin
istration, submitted a resolution, calling on the Presi
dent for such information and snch correspondence on
the subject of our existing differences witli Mexico, as
not being incompatible with the public interest, he
could give to Congress. His position as Chairman of
the Committee on Foreign relations, witli other cir
cumstances- left tboee who were not in the secrets of
tlte Admikistrntion on the qai rive. So long as Santa
Ana was here, the Administration determined to sus
pend all action on this, but he had not left the city
many minutes, crethat correspondence, and it js im
portant, was transmitted through the President’s pri
vate Secretary.
The House were engaged in a desultory discussion
on some unimportant subject until a very late hour
the day, which prevented its communication to the
House until they were anxious to leave off, when ’twas
presented.
3Ij. Howard moved the usual reference to the com
mittee, fro n whence the call for it emanated.
Mr. Boyd moved 90 amend that motion, by adding,
“with instructions td report a bill for the recognition of
Tesas *” . .
Mr. Reed adverted to the importance of the ques
tion, and called for the reading of the correspondence
previous to any question being taken.
It was very voluminous, so much so, that a motion
to adjourn was made and acceded to. So tlte corres
pondence was not read. Of its substance, I give you
exclusively the important details discussing by the cor
respondence, voluminous enough, as to the claims of
the United States, for vessels seized, and reclamation

lift. VAN BUREN’3 RESIGNATION.
Immediately after the Journal of yesterday had been
read, the Vice President rose and delivered his fare
well address. He commenced by adverting to the
length of time lie had been connected with the Senate,
und uext said he could not leave them without saying
that he had endeavored to discharge the high and hon
orable trust counected with tlte office of President of
that body, according to the best of Iris ability, and with
a sincere desire to uphold the honor and dignity of the
Senate, and at the same time to respect the leclings
aud rights of every Senator. He alluded to the ab
sorbing and exciting topics which had at various times
occupied the attention of the Senate—tiie delicacy of
his situation, and tlte desire he at all times felt not to
wound tiie feelings of any one present. He trusted
that lie had fulfilled his duty to tiie satisfaction of all
parties, (making due allowance lor the frailty of hu
man nature.) He concluded by saying—‘‘Indulging
the ardent wish that every success may await you,
will conclude with offering you my warm respects,
hoping that prosperity aud happiness may ever attend
you, aud 1 will respectfully bid you farewell.” (The
Vice President then left the Senate,) and the Senate
proceeded to the election of President pro tem—37
votes were given, of which Mr. King of Alabuma, re
ceived 26, 25 being necessary to a choice, the remain
der of the votes scattering, so that Mr. King was elec
ted on the first ballot, and betook the Chair, aud made
a short address, returning Iris thanks for the honor done
him, and professing his intention to uphold the dignity
and honor of the Senate. Messages were then sent
to the Prcsidentand house of Representatives acquaint
ing them with the fact of Mr. King having been elect
ed President of the Senate
IN SENATE.
As soon as the journal had been read
Mr Van Bureu rose aud took leave oftlie Senate in
the following address:—
Senators—Tlte period is at hand which is to termin
ate the official relation that his existed between us,
ami I have probably never to return to it—a body with
which I have beeu long couucctcd, where some re
main whom l found here fifteen years ago, and where
in the progress of public duties, personal asssociations
have arisen never to be forgotten. From such scenes
I cannot retire without emotion.
Nor can I give to the Senate the usual opportunity
of choosing another the preside for a time over their
deliberations, without releriug to the,manner in which
endeavored to discharge a "ratifying aud honorable 1
trust connected with the office to which nty country
called me. <
Entering upon it with unaffected diffide nee, well
knowing how little my studies had beeu directed to its
peculiar duties, I was yet strengthened by the deter-
Hliou tii-rn expressed so to discharge tlte authority with
which 1 was invested as “best to protect the rights to
respect the feelings, and to guard tiie reputation of all
who would be anccled by its exercise.” I was sure
that, if successful in this, { should be pardoned for er
rors which I woukl hardly expect to avoid.
In tiie interval that hussiuco elapsed it has beeu our
lot in this assembly to pass through scenes of unusual
excitement tiie inteuse interest in absorbing topics
which has prevaded our whole community could not
be unfelt within these walls. Tiie warmth of politi
cal parties, natural in such times; the unguarded ardor
of sudden debate; and the collisions seldom to be sep
arated from tiie inestimable privilege of free discus
sion, have not been unfrequently mingled with tiie
more tranquil tenor of ordinary legislation. I cannot
hope that in emergencies like these, 1 have always
been so fortunate as to satisfy every one around me.
Yeti permit myself to think that the extent to which
nty decisions nave beeu approved by the senate
is sonic evidence that my etiorts justily to administer
their rules have not been vain; and 1 conscientiously
c <erish the conviction that on no occassion have I de
parted from my early resolution, or Leconte regardless
ot what was due to the rights or tiie feelings of the
members of this body.
Though I may henceforth be separated from theS cn-
ate 1 can nsver caasj to revert with particular interest
to my long connection with it. In every situation in
iny future life I shall remember witli a just pride the
evidences of approbation and confidence which I have
received, aud as an American citizen devotedly attach
ed to the institutions of my country, I will uhvays re
gard with becoming ana sincere respect a branch of
our government invested with spell extensive powers
and designed by our forefathers to accomplish such
important results.
Indulging an ardent wish that every success may
a wait you in performing the exalted and honorable
duties of your public trust, and offering my warmest
praverstfiat prosperity and happiness may be constant
attendants upon each of you ulpug tiie future paths of
life, 1 respectfully bid you farewell.
COLUMBUS, (OHIO,) Jan. 17 1837.
A scepe of tiie mo*t extraordinary nature took place

tlte Democratic party, until 12 o’clock at night, when
the arrival oftlie Sabbath rendered it necessary to ad

From the Jacksonville Courier, 2(lf/i ult.
LATEST FROM GEN. JESUP’S ARMY.
Col. Warren who returned last Friday from Fort
Drane, has favored-us with the following information,
given him by the Quarter Master at Fort Drane, and
at that time just arrived from the army.
Gen. Jesup was on a trail of Indians leading to
wards the Wacassasa country—and intended to pursue
if possible, the trail wherever it led, till he overtook the
Indians. . „
The Indians are, it is supposed, scattered in small
parties through tlte country.
On the J3th inst. the Alabamians under Gen. Jesup
came upon an Indian on tiie west side of the Withla-
coochce, while he was in the act of skinning a beef.-*
Seeing himself surrounded he made no resistance, nor
endeavored to escape, but gave himself up with good
grace, a prisoner of war.
This Indian states he belongs to a town situated on
the west side of the Witlriacoochee, at which are a-
boi't one hundred Indians—warriors, women and chil
dren— and that they are williug, and wish to give them
selves up—and would have done so some time ago had
they not feared the whites would kill them. The In
dian offered to point out the town to the army.
Major Graham, with about 200 men, and tiie In
dian lor a guide, proceeded on the IStii inst. for the
town.
The Indian also states that tho other tribes are wil
ling to come in to the whites—and that all his warriors
except fifty or sixty, have left Oseola.
A party of about 110 men arrived at Foit Drane on
tiie 18th inst. with orders to proceed against Alligator’s
tribe on tiie Ochlawaha, and to proceed thence around
Orange Lake, scouring the country between the Lake
aud St. Johns river to Black Creek.
The hotly of Mr. S. Rooks was found on Thursday
last about 5 miles this side of Santa Fe Bridge, and
near the place where Mr. Dell’s negroes were captur
ed, two bullet holes through it—scalped—-aud plunder
ed of the pantaloons. The trails ol five Indians were
discovered about tiie body. The horse was shot dead
not far from the body. Air. Hooks belonged to Capt.
Smith’s company. He was one of an escort to a train
of wagons that loft the Creek on or about the 18th ult.
His horse gave out on the way; and he had permis
sion to return to Black Creek. He left tiie train to re
turn and had not been seen or heard of till Thursday
last, when found as above stated. Thus, for more than
a year, have our citizens, one after another, been cut
AIORE INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.
One man killed—House attacked—White man with the
Indians.
“ Air Rossau, who arrived in this place to-day, in
forms us that on Tuesday, the 25th iust. Lieut. J. AI.
Smiley, of Capt. Reed’s company, stationed at the Alin-
cral Springs, was shot by a party of Indians near the
house of Air. Sykes, his father-in-law, with whom he
lived Air. Sykes’ residence is five miles from the
Springs, on tiie road leading to Levingston’s Ferry on
tiie Suwannee river.
Lient. Smiley was about 150 yards from the house
engaged in cutting wood, when he was shot. Three
balls took effect—one in Ins body—one in his head—
and one in tiie arm. He was k'lled instantly and scalp
ed.
Air. Sykes was in his corn house—hearing the shots
and yell of the Indians, he ran tor Iris house amid a
volley of shots from the Indians. He closed tiie door.
The Indians made a furious attack upon the house con
taining Air. and Airs. Sykes anil Airs. Smiley and child
and two or three negro women. Mr. Sykes defended
the house by keeping up a fire on the assailants, sup
posed to be from 25 to 50 in uumbor. The attack was
commenced at j past 3 o’clock P M, and continued
till alter dark. The house is literally cut up with bul
lets.
After dark Air. Sykes raised a plank from the floor,
sons to get out a negro wouiai , "hom he sent to the
Springs, to notify the men there to come to Iris relief.
Site succeeded, and a party of nine men reached the
house by 11 o’clock. The Indians had retired. None
of the inmates of tlte house were wounded, although
bullets passed through the clothes ot some of them.
Air. Sy ties is confident he wounded or killed four. On
examination next morning, at the four spots pointed
out by Air. S. where he thought the Indians were shot
by him, blood was found, indicating some execution
was done—and one* Indian was found shot through
tlte heart. Air. S. had 7 guns in his house. He also
states, that he is confident he saw a white man with the
Indians, for he had so fair a view of him, as to be able
to note, that lie wore blue clothes and a white hat.
The trail of the Indians led into a hammock near b>.
A small company had ridden around it, without find
ing a trail leading out. When Air, Rossau left the
Springs they were raising a party strong enough to
pursue the trail into the hammock, and secure the In
dians, if possible.
The inhabitants who had returned to their homes,
in that section, (Columbia county,) arc again abandon
