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 Monroo’s accession to the Presidency, the iuternal duties and direct taxes were repealed, and an expenditure of some millions of dollars per annum incurred by the pensions,which are so justly allowed to the surviving soldiers of the rev olution.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 - ■ ' I 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 ’ BATTLE IN PERU. Letters from Bogota, received at Santa Martha, on the 12th Sept, state that an action between the Colombian Army under Bolivar, amt the Royalists had taken place in Peru—the former is said to have been victorious. Gen. Cordova of the Colombian urmy was killed. A writer in the National Advocate thinks that Lord Krskinc is lipt the noblcinan for whose re lief® subscription was lately raised in London, but is of opinion that it is Lord Temple, who is in decayed circumstances, has u family ot thirteen children, and is In the annuul receipt of £200 from the Earl of Lnnderdalc. Lord F.rskine, so far from being a pauper, is said to have become heir to a large estate on the drnth of his father, and is also heir apparent to the es tate and titles of the Earl of Buchan—besides which he has a pension of £2000 sterling a year from the British Government, The loss of Mr. John Cooper, on St. Simons, during the late gale is estimated at from' 60 to 60,000 dollars.

Is It not manifest that the executive cham ber kvas tho vety fountain vrhobcc flowed to dif ferent parts of tjbo union it)® clamors and accusa tions against the Secretary of the Treasury; and which returning by different channels to Wash iogtonj are cited by tho cabal as proof of the ten deucy of public sentiment?

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 Colombian schr. Gen.

IvVt V 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 session oftlie Lieutenant.

RtOT INP 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.

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 ble waters of the hurhour, the privilege of which belong to the City.

At the time we read this, tvfc supposed the Governor lmd issued the proclamation in virtue of some law.authorizing him to dot 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.
