On Fridas and Saturday Inst, the case of the sureties of Philip Box vs The Post Master General, was argued before the Honorable Judge Johnson, in the sixth Circuit Court for this district. The case came on upon writ of error from the Dis trict Court, where judgment had been ren dered in favour of the Post Mnster Gene ral. Several important points were made in behalf of the plaintiffs in uror. On Monday lust, Judge Johnson reversed the judgment of the District Judge, on the ground that the Courts of the United Siates had no jurisdiction of actions brought by the Post Master General on bonds of the Deputy Post Masters—The epinionjpf the'Court was given at length turd will be published as soon ns a copy It is stated in the New York Commer cial Advertiser, that President Monroeis about purchasingTmcqf the marble houses in Bond-street, in that city, Where he in tends to spend the remainder of his life, when his official term expires.

"We learn from a gentleman who arriv ed iatown last evening from Milledgcville, that the Legislature was expected to ad journ on Saturday last. Much business was before both Houses, but great exer tions were making to get through it. The resolution authorising Gov. Tr.ot’P, to meet GEN. LA FAYETTE in this city, and to draw on the State Treasury for any amount of funds he may deem ne cessary for his proper entertainment while in the State, has passed the House unani mously, and there was no doubt but that it Wi ul,l receive the unanimous concurrence of the Senate. Bythisa'ct, Georgia will assist in vindicating the character of Re publics from ingratitude. The bill extending the corporate Limits of the City of Savannah, has passed both Houses. *» The bill to alter the mode of electing the Aldermen of this City,which had passed the Senate, was lost in the House of Iti - •presentatives. Jenck’s bill to cut a canal from the Sa vannah river to the Ogechee, has passed both Houses. The hill to incorporate the Georgia Ca nal Company, was still before the House of Representatives, but was not expected to puss. The trial of the Commissioners for selling fractions, against whom charges of official misconduct have been preferred by the House of Representatives, has been post poned to the next session—the evidences in the case had been examined and the testimony sealed up—it is said to be very strong against them. The resolution of Col. Myers, appro- pi iatinga sum for the purpose of collatiti: arranging and publishing all papers rela ting to the original settlement or political history of this State, now in the Executive ‘ pr Secretary of Stute’s Office, has passed both Houses, and J. V. Bevan, Esq. of this city, has been appointed to carry the resolution into execution. The hill appointing a Weigher and Guager for the City of Savannah, has also passed both houses. The appointment and^iinount of fees to be allowed, is vest ed in the City Council.

The Quartermaster General and Com missary General's Departments appear to have .been admirably managed, and, as to the Pay master’^ Department, the head of it says, in his report, that he is confident, that the whole of the troops arc now’ paid to the first of September, and a considera ble portion to the first of November, and that tlie Paymasters will render vouchers before the close of tbc‘ year, which will fully account for all sums advanced to them within the three first quarters. The annual expense of medical stores for the army, it appears by the Surgeon General’s Report, has not been more than |2 50 per man. The deaths in rim army in the two first quarters of the year were but 53, and 13 ofthein were from consump- : tion.'

The bill having been read in part, Mr. Bnrbortr', expressing an opinion that its provisions were inadequate to coverall ca ses necessary to bo provided for, juud that it would probably require additional provi sions, moved that the committee rise and report progress. The committee rose accordingly, and hud leave to sit again. Ou motion of Air.

M. P. P.

Li our paper of yesterday wc copied a •mysterious article from the Alexandria Herald, ia relation to some horrible out- tage to be committed on the person of Gen. Jackson. An explanation lias been called for. The editor of the Herald says, " we shall suffer ourselves to bo forced to precipitately introduce the name of no in dividual, merely to gratify idle curiosity.” Thus tlie Herald like honest Jack Fals- taff, “ will give no man any reason upon compulsion.” Wc strongly suspect that our brother editor has been quizzed by »p®v wag or other.*- The number pf Revolutionary Pension* ersis 13,1 Ml, that of invalid Pensioners,' 3,736, and that of holf-pay in lie.u of boun ty land, 202.

The Speaker laid before the House a communication from, tlie Governor of Alio State of New York, accom panied by cer tain resolutions of the Legislature of that State, Complninirig,and remonstrating on the subject of tonnage duties exacted by the United States ou Canal boats; which, for the present, was ordered to lie oh tlfe table. . Mr. Floyd gave notice that on Monday next, he would coll for the consideration of the bill, reported af the last Session, providing for the occupation of the mouth of the Columbia (pr Oregon) River. The engrossed-Bill (lying over from last Session) “to authorl 'u the State of Oliiq to sell and convey certain tracts of land granted to said State for the uetc of the cople thereof,” was read a third time. Bprjyinton rose and explained the ob ject of this bill, and the considerations whicli recommended its passage. The grant of these lands, on account of the salt springs upon them, to the State of Ohio, was subject to the condition that the State should not sell them, nor lease them for a longer term -than ten years. The object of this reservation wns, to.prC- vent a monopoly of this indispensable arti cle of subsistence. Since this grant, how ever, it Imd been ascertained ilmt there was in the State an abundance of resour ces for the manufacture of salt; and springs had been discovered and worked, so superior in the quantity and quality of the salt, as entirely to supersede the use of those on the reserved lands. These lands were, cortsequentiy, in their present condition, of no value to the State, and the State., therefore, wished to 1 be allowed to dispuse-of them. The State alone was in terested in this question, the Glided States having neither title to, nor interest in, these lands, having ceded both Io the State of Ohio. The hill was then passed, ncln. con. and sent to tho Senate for concurrence. An engrossed bill, also of the last Ses sion, “authorising re-pnyment for land er roneously sold by the United States," was read a third lime, passed, and sent to the Senate for concurrence On proceeding to call over the roll of bills reported at the h^t session, and laid over- Mr. Fuller, of Massachusetts, moved that the House go into Committee of the Whole on that hill which proposes to uu- l n *i was au toori ze ,i to l to the payment of the six „ cr “ if the year 1812.

Bafty the followiriff extract of a latter, we perceive that tht?; campaign is . about to open at Washington, and we may calcu late that the leadersof the three contend ing parties will- lie most assiduous in tiro pursuit of thoirkibject. Wc ventured an opinion somc'short time since that t|ie iiu- portant question, Who shall tc the next President ?' would be materially influence 1 by what mqy be conceived tho, views of the respective Candidates, on the nil import ant subject of ,SWc Rights. Tliopccu- jinr situafion of tlie Southern States at taches to theiu' a Tronger interest on this subject,thou tRht of auy other portion of the Union, and ns, every thing connected with their fitturc prosperity is involved therein, all other"considerations should yield, both on the score pf policy and necessity. Wc arc awar/i pf what have 1 been the doc trines’ aiid opinions of many of the politi cians of tm- sttite, forijlie Ipst twelve months—:we mean of those men, who once were, members of tlie Democratic Party: their U ' werq Consolidation Men, and they naturally obeyed, tlie word of command. ThU new party were well organized, and but f|f nf > lunate incident would probably have progressed, unimpe dpd in their wolj directed sfchemes. Tho discussion of the subject of State Rights nt Columbia, threw-great confusion into the ranks of the members of the “ Compact and ds it was impossible to mould to their oam desires wlint should or should not be considered a violation of the rights of a State, and as they hnd at once to come to the point itself, and upon this great ques tion could not resort to their wontedoirac- tice of trimming, BO, have these consistent politicians in one short month from Con solidation Mm become the advocates of State Rights. The alternative was a dreadful one—a loss of popularity at home, or a second H chflrgc of abandoning their party ; in their wisdom, and” with good discretion’they chose .the latter. So much fur„the amalgamating gentry. * Of the three Candidates for the Presi dency, two arc known to be in , favor of Consolidation, and one favorable to State Rights. Jackson and Adams on tlie one side, Crawford on the other. Tito future existence of the Southern und many of the Western States, also of Louisiana depends upon iHedecision which must before long ho, given upon this subject. Wc repent, therefore, that nil other considerations should yield to it, and as we value, not onr ly bur own rights and interests, but even those of posterity* so let us be united in nil effort to effect an object that will give sc*, purity to these inestimable blessings. Wc arc aware, that in this state we have milch to contend with. Popularity; aver vacilntiug, has in a measure departed frrftn the old democratic party, and attached it self to seccders, from its ranks, to men, who in our estimation do propagate doc- trinqs and establish opinions, far more dangertms to our liberties than any thing that eve)* emanated lrqm the most zealous of tlie FcderaJ party. We must bear with them, but watch them, closely; they have already, as the Spanish prrtverb says, “ Got into a.shiri of eleven yards,” and as they are sustained upon no principle of political solidity, wd niay Mi ll predict tliat llicir existence will be.of short dura tion. Connected .witl\ this subject, how ever, it would: be well to observe, that several’in this state w-fio are said to be strong^ ConSQlidaiibn Men, have, as report -goes, sold out all tlieii*jiroporty ofucertain description.: •; ,1 Should a President ]ic elected favorable to the doctrine ef constructive power, and ft cabinet-formed of similar materials, wo may prepare ourselves for much difficulty and serious embarrassment; wc 'will then hnivo to contend against the weight of power in office, and the influence of pro judiccs, and well organized opposition out of office. Is it not wise and proper, tiien ‘.hat we should meet the evil at the thresh old, and not suffer it to make headway that we shoujej by a'concert that is prac ticable, retain in our own liaudsnpQwer, tiic loss of which we would so sepsibly cl confident that the republicans, friend- y to the well knAwii usages of tlie party,- Will keeaUogRther. and us no union may be expected between the friends of Aduma and Jackson, wo shall constitute tho stron gest body; and we owe it to ourselves, to the country, and Rie future prosperity of the party, to keep together, ntid act togeth er. “I called to sec Mr Crawford, and I nearly two hojcirs conversation with him, in his office; ho looks ns well as ever, and the only remains of disease is a very slight impediment, or thickness of speech, which is wearing off rapidly indeed.

A shocking event, but which Common prudence could not guard against, occur red yesterday nt the Alms House. A in nntic, whose violence was t such that the keepers were obliged to keep him chained, pushed the straw in his cell Against bis stove, set fire to it, oud though as.iistauee was promptly a flora dl, it provetl of no avail; the poor maniac was burned to death. . He was one of that unfortunate class, to whom beds are not allowed, on account of their tearing them to pieces, One of the keepers had visited the ceil, less than ten minutes before the cvcut oc curred.—Phil. Gaz. The following circumstance recently occurred in a church in this city. N. Y.Post. The Rev. Pastor bad mentioned from his pulpit, on the proceeding Sunday, that a respectable shoemaker of bis congrega tion, had requested him to preach a ser mon from the 11th verse of the 12th chap ter of Exodus, and that ho intended to comply with this pious request on the next Sunday. This sermon was preached ac cordingly, on Sunday tho 5th inst. in the iresencc of the son of St. Crispin, who lad come to church prepared, it seems* to make good tlie promise on his part. When the Collection plate tvas handed round, he drew from his pocket a pair.of new shoes, suited to the parson’s measure, and depos ited them in the plate. This well made donation was not unobserved by tho wor thy divine, who, ns he passed the clerk’s desk, while tlie congregation was retiring, very dexterously transferred the shoes from the plate to his pocket, and thus dc monstrated to his flock, that he was de voted to the care of soles to the very last and though a good friend to faith, yet that good works were always acceptable. An attempt to stop the mail coach be tween Frederick and Harpers ferry, was made on Tuesday night last between the hours of 6 and 7 o’clock. The coachman Wiis driving leisurly along, when a man rode out of tfie wood und enquired wheth er there were any passengers in the stage On being answered in the negative, lie turned his horse and retired. Presently two men rushed from a" fonso corner, and endeavoured to stop the horses, at which they took fright, and rati with much speed to which wc may suppose the driver had no particnlar objections, as long as he held, the reins. lie saw no more qf them Bal.
