FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.
> “New-York Oct 5, 1844.
"The oppouonts of Mr. Crawford, continue iu the
.course of their political vagaries, to charge him
with the want of ability iu the discharge oft He
duties of his office, and that during Ids administra
tion in tlie Treasury Department, lie has misraan
aged and squandered the public funds. This is
the language of the-prints devoted to Mr. Adams;
and none arc more conspicuous in their denun ci
ntioua than the New-York American, the Nation
al Journal, the Philadelphia Franklin Gazette, and
Mr. Walsh’s Gasetto. Now let us see how far
these Journals are correct.—When Mr. Crawford
first went into the Treasury Department, the war
debt was very large in amount, due as well for the
services of the militia of the several states, as for
the arrears which had accumulated in regard to
the operations of the regular army.
"On Mr. Monroo’s accession to the Presidency,
the iuternal duties and direct taxes were repealed,
and an expenditure of some millions of dollars
per annum incurred by the pensions,which are so
justly allowed to the surviving soldiers of the rev
olution. A large amount of the Treasury notes
remained to be funded, and theengagemcnU rela
tive to the National debt were to be fulfilled; the
currency of tho Union was greatly depreciated,
and from excessive issues of bank notes, and the
variety of pecuniary interests arising from numer
ous and conflicting banks, the revenue of Govern-
tnent was, in its collection, placed in circumstan-.
ecs of great embarrassm^i*. Through the whole
of these difficulties Mr. Crawford never, for an in
stant, faltered; the public obligations have been
regularly discharged, the floating war debt liqui
dated, the funded debt paid, as it became due,
current national expenses defrayed, fortifications
Constructed, the navy increased, and the charac
ter of Clio United States for good faith and sound
credit maintained abroad as well as at home.
Not a single instance can be adduced of Mr.
Crawford’s having converted his high office of
any of its emoluments to bis own immediate or
remote personal benefit. lie has relieved tbo
people of the West from their pecuniary suffer
ings. and saved the reputation of the Union by
successfully supporting, at a trying and critical
period, the hank of the United States.
"For all these blessiugs, a generous and enlight
ened I’eoplo have thanked him; and, through
tho o- in whom they confide,have tendered to him
the iitoution of president, after Mr.- Monroe's re
tirement. The people are grateful. Bat what
iuis been the conduct of some of the principal of
ficers of the administration, towards Mr. Craw
ford?
“About two years ago the Secretary of War, a
member of the cabinet of, which Mr. Crawford is
also a member, instituted a Newspaper, avowedly
for the purpose of willing down the Secretary of
the Treasury; and this paper even entered the
sanctuary of Mr. Monroe’s cabinet, and described
'dr- Crawford as labouring under the President’s
displeasure and possessing no weight in the delibe
rations of the executive council. This hireling
trumpeter, this last prop of Mr. Calhoun for the
Presidential chair, the “Washington Republican,'
in* blown its death blast, and bid adieu to
11 All the pomp and pride of war.”
Every movement against Mr. Crawford can be
traced to a cabal among the cabinet officers
and, as if to leave not a scruple of doubt
a to the fact, Ninicn Edwurds, the notorious
dqfinuor of tho Secretary of the Treasuiy upon
the united recommendations of John Quincy
Adams and John C. Calhoun, was appointed Min
ister to Mexico. What too was the deportment of
■ Mr. Monroe when essay after essay appeared a-
guinst Mr C. in the W. R. 1 Did he signify hisdis
approbation ? Did he intimate to Mr Calhoun the
propriety of desisting? No. By his acts he pro
moted the views of the Secretary of War
K . ^ v - ■ '

impenetrable; ttaoihpoisotied shafts fell harmless
.3st!
There never has been a more splendid triumph,
a more unalloyed victory achieved by individual
virtue and integrity, over combined parties and
power, than in the cose of Mr. Crawford. The
people will roMew the whole proceeding, and wc
doubt not they >vill accord with their Representa
tives as to the “ability, integrity and correcthcss’’
of Mr. Crawford. They will hail him ns a worthy
and persecuted mnn, uud they will delight to do
honor to him who has so faithfully watched over
their iniercsls, and proved himself worthy of their
confidence. We know of no individual political
triumph to compare to this of Mr. Crawford's.—
He has been passive, yet arc his enemies hurled
from their high places, while he is elevated iu
public estimation. 1 ’

Letters from Bogota, received at Santa Martha,

N. P. papers to tbe 6th inst. receive il in
.Charleston, furnish tho following partic
ulars, of the losses sustained by the late
gale in that vicinity. We copy it from
the City Gazette,
On the 13th of Sept, the gale was felt at
Nassau, and it is said to huve been more
violent than was experienced there for 8
or 9 years. The wind blew from the N.
with great power, and afterwards vecr-
to N. N. W. and S. W. whence it blew
with increased strength. The large ves
sels in the harbor rode out the gale, hut
the schrs. George tic Fourth, and Luvi-
nia, were blown on shore, but got off again.
The houses in the town suffered Lett little.
The whole of Eleuthera it seems has
suffered severely. At Rock Sound, out
of upwards of80 houses but. 1G were stand
ing. The East end.of the Island is also
much injured. At tbc North end ol' Long-
Island, the houses were ulso blown down.
At Governor’s Harbour, in Dunmore-town,
Harbour Island, three-fourths of the hou-'
ses have been destroyed.
Nq accounts had been received from
Abaco, except from a place near the Hole
in the Wall, where two ..-houses blown
down. At Andros Island the gale was but
moderately felt. At tbc West cud of
Eleuthera, upwards of 20 bouses were des
troyed, and all of the crops. Tbc inhab
itants were in a very distressed situation.
At Hum Key, the effects of the gnle
were but slightly felt; the houses and salt
works sustained hut little injury. The
sch’r. Prospcro, lying there was driven
ashore and much injured. The sclir.
Newfoundland Packet was blown out to
gea—the crew had previously landed.
Accounts from Jamaica to the 18th of
September, have been received at Nassau,
but nothing is stated of tbe gale having vi
sited that place.
The following is a list of the vessels
which have suffered, as given in the Nas
sau papers.
Schr. Sarah, Pruddcn, of Nassau, arri
ved on the 17th Sept, from Caicos, under
jury masts. The S. felt the gale in the
port St. George, on the llth Sept. The
sloop Maria, of Turks Island, Bartlct, was
wrecked at West Caicos; a number cf
passengers and the crew were saved.
Schooner George, Hope, Evans, was a-
shorc at West Caicos. Brig Edward, D.
Douglas, of New-York, Carjow, was
wrecked on the 12th day of September,
on the north side of Long-Island. Part
of the cargo and all the crew saved. The
piratical schr. Diablito, which sailed
from Jamaica llth Sept, put into Abaco in
distress. Tho Log Bookof the schr. New
foundland, was picked up, from which it
is supposed that she was lost. At Long
Island a boat drifted ashore with “ M.
Hart” branded inside the stern. Brig Al
bert, of New-York, captain Philips, from
Gibraltar for Tampico and AJvarado, had
been wrecked on the west side of Abaco—
she was captured a few days before by the

crew saved. Sloop Brothers, which was
in company, was driven out to sea, the
crew having landed'previously on some
rcoks. Schr. Hiram, was driven from her
anchorage at Crpoked Island.—she was
afterwards seen with a signal of distress ;
since whichno account had been received

BATTLE OF THE RIVER RAISIN.
In our lust We published an article from
a Kentucky paper stating that a man who
was in the above battle and was. supposed
to be dcniUind recently returned home,
(having been a prisoner among the In
dians,) and brought information of the
captivity of several other persons, who
were also supposed to be dead. -It will
be seen, however, by the following article
that the man is an impostor.
From the Frankfort (Ky.) ,'dtnmentator.
A report 1ms ght into circulation, and
found its way into the Louisville papers,
that a man by the name of Greers has
just returned to this town from'a long cap
tivity among the Indians, by whom 1m
was made prisoner at tbo battle of Rai
sin ; that lie had brought news that Cnpt.
Graves was still living, n prisoner, &c.
We thought this tale tinworthy of any no
tice, until we were informed that individ
uals had been induced to travel many
miles to have an interview with the new
found soldier, in the hope of obtaining
some news of lost frieds, who were last
seen in Ihc battle. We notice it now on
ly to prevent similar occurrences. We
have no personal knowledge of the indi
vidual, Greers, but arc satisfied that this
story is, to say the least of it, a /war.
Gentlemen who served in Captain HicU-
mau’s company, to which Greers protends
to linve belonged, wc are told, do not re
cognise him, and his name is not to bi
found on the rolls, which arc still iu pos

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in
Westmoreland comity, to his irieild in
Carlisle, dated.
“Greensiiuiki, 2-lth Sept. 1824.
"No doubt you will have heard through
tile medium of the public prints before you
receive this, of the grout mob that lately
arose in Pittsburg. Them arc, however,
circumstances connected With it, which I
presume will not be made public, at least
in that quarter, of which, according to my
information, I will give you a bird's eye
lew.
Tho object of the Mob was to tear
down the Circus, on account of tho alleg
ed seduction of a respectable young lady,
by Mr Pepin, the master of the Circus
who, some time since, opened u riding
ehool in that city, to teach young Indies,
fcc. to ride gracefully. The allcdged vic
tim urns one of his pupils, and had the
misfortune to entertain the most violent
passion for him, which she discovered to
him as follows;
“ One evening when riding out with
other young Indies, accompanied by Mr
Pipltt, she pretended that her horse was
ghtcued, and caught Mr l’ipin by the
hand for protection, but in such n way
that he understood her at once. . Ho af
terwards received several letters from ltcr,
one of which, being first intercepted Went
i disclose * * * between them,
Inch ho positively denies. The thing
became known to her friends, who sent
her into the country. Tis strange that a
young girl, worth from 10 to Hi thousaud
dollars,and perhaps not more than 16years
age, should fall in love with an old man, of
ith a wife and family, but so appears this
fact. Now the mo!)—•
“The evening the attack was made by
mob, the circus, was crowded with la
dies and gentlemen. The mob was so
large that tho building was completely
surrounded—they commenced by throw-
ingstones, and endeavouring to tear down
the circus, and became to outrageous, that
the company had to stop the performance,
and call upon the people within to assist
them; they then endeavoured to appease
the mob, but in vain. At length, some one
more eloquent than the rest, prevailed
ith those turbulent beings to desist until
the ladies and the children could get home.
Ten or fifteen minutes Were allowed them
for that purpose. Hero then was crying
hustle, and coulusion. After the ladies
had withdrawn, hostilities recommenced
between the mob mid circus men, the lnt
ter of whom wore nil well armed, and
rove the mob in every direct ion; hut they
still returned, which created a spirit of
desperation in the circus nun, one of
horn fired into the crowd, nod killed a
man. This, for a moment rousted a spirit
of vengeance iu the mob, some of whom
proposed arming themselves with ruusk-
ts. &c. But they soon began to think
seriously of the consequences, and diaper,
sed. The circus mnu who shot the citi
zon, wns udinitted to bail-—But the whole
circus company had to seek protection in
tho common jail, for two or three days.
If tliis was not “witchingthe World with
horsemanship,” I don’t know what it
was.”

Lots.—Twenty six lots of land, laid out
on the north side of the proposed new
market, were yesterday sold by auction
or rather twenty-four were sold by auc
tion, two having been previously disposed
pfby private sale.
The highest price given at the public
sale was nineteen dollars and the lowest
7 dollars per square foot. The quantity of
land sold was 30,037 3-4 squure feet, and
the amount oftlie purchase money $303,-
195 42, making an average of ten dollars
and ten cents per square foot.
The lots on the South side, which are
of considerable greater extent than those
on the North, and said to be more val
uable, as they border on the two wide
streets, remain lobe sold, and also a tract
of land north of the lots sold, The Mar
ket House is to be built of granite two sto
ries high, fifty feet wide, and five hundred
and twenty feet long. There will be a
street 65 feet wide on the north side of it,
one 60 feet wide on the south, and another
65 feet wide and 290 feet long on the east
This last street will border, on the naviga

will pay all the expenses of the purchase,

it. Otherwise, it could certainly he of no
effect. We now learn, however, from a
paragraph, in the St. Louis Republican of
Sept. 13; that we erred in this supposition,
and that the proceeding on the part of the
Governor is, doubtless, void.
This case; and that of Tennessee,
whoso Legislature is now in session to
remedy a defect in the Electoral law, will,
it is hoped, impress our future Legislators
with the importance of a more particular
attention to the phraseology of their aets
on this subject. It would lie a lamentable
incident, that the result of au Election for
President should be changed by the irre
gularity of the votes of any State. Yet
tiiis occurrence is quite possible: and,
even in' the present case, it might happen
that on the vote of Missouri would de
pend the question, if the election is not
final by the Electors, who shall be the
third of the three persons having tho high
est number of votes, from whom a selec
tion will in that event have to be made by
the House ol' Representatives.--Nat. Int.

STRIKE THE CYMBAL.
Strike the cymbal, roll the tyinbal,
Sound the trumpets, beat tho drums,
Loudly ringing, cheerily singing,
Lo! tbe patriot hero comes.
Groat commoner, slighting honour,
Here theyouthfulliero came,
Aiding stranger*, braving dangers,
Human freedom was his aim.
Troops come prancing—^ee advancing,
All Columbia’s sons und daughters.
Greet the hero, lauds and waters.
Streamers streaming, shouts proclaiming,
Fur and iicur the hero’s name.
God of thunder, rend asunder
All the poiv’r tbut tyrants boast,
AVIint urc nations, what tlreir stations,
When compared to freedom’s host.
What are mighty moriorchs now;
While ut freedom’s shrine wc boiv.
Pride of princes, strength of kings,
To the dust fair freedom brings,
Hail him—hail him—let each exulting band
Welcome Fuyclte to freedom’s happy land.
All hull him—all hull—-'all hail him.

On Thursday last I attended-it meeting of

currence which took pluce.
A Grocer wus brought before Council cwp 1
with having retailed liquors without a licence
before any investigation took place to provo tt
or his guilt or his innocence, the Mayor sW
that the informal manner in which licences »■
been g.-anted, rendered it doubtful whether ai
fine would be imposed, admitting the p»rf
charged was guilty, mid submitting tlio (jin™
to the Board for their consideration. An lion 01
