It wn« plain, direct, to the point, demonstrative, and left nothing for any onoolse to do. Senator* and tiuditors, all alikd, listened to it with the otlcntimt it deserved, and with the conviction it was calculated to producer He began hy speaking oftho great importance of the queslon at issue; as it effected the finan cial and tho political intercut* of the country.— lie considered that it divided itself into two dis tinct heads, for the discussion oftho Hcnato; the first being tho disposition oftho public deposited for disbursement,—that is, tiieir custody till dis bursed,—and tho second, the reduction of tlio u- innnutof public money in the Treasury Treating of the first of these considerations, he said ho thought a compromise might be arrived at, in the Senate, based upon both Mr. Calhoun's and Mr. Wright’s plans, proporlv modified.— lie thought it, in the first place, highly impor tant lo extend the number of tlio Hanks, in which tho public money is deposited. Tho sums de posited are large, and tho Hanks ns constituted, are notable to take a safe custody of them. In tho States, there are limitations hy law, with which it is inconsistent for Dunks, under their charters, to assume such a responsibility. Ho also thought that the deposited should be’subject wherever they were, to reasonable discount,— nud to make this possible, he thought it absolute ly necessary that the number of the Duporito Hanks should lie increased, under tlio present arrange cut of kfi-piugthe public treasure. In Boston, who o lie o iro now two, ho thinksthoie should he hi least four, and six nt least in New- York, where there aro hut three. He then made romc remarks upon tho subject of transfers from ono Deposits Hank to another, and was of opin ion that the present plan of conducting them should bn altered. He wa« of tho opinion that the Hanks which received the deposited, should pay interest upon them, and thought 2 per cent by no means too much, while his own views were, that 2£ por cent would i)i» nearer the true rote. A« m the amount ofspecie to be required to he kepv.ntho Hanks rncoiviug the public money, Mr W-lwter thought it ought to bcur'tlie same prooo v tiQti to tho increase of tlioir capital thus ri?u '*•’« ‘V ,,M ‘mount of specie to their actual or chvrtered capital. He thought our present sys- tom o:'paper credit too expanded, and was of opinion that specio in the Hanks to meet the pa per, w.is f ir bettor than any specio currency of modern invention. Ho thought that there should bo a restraint upon tlio power lo change those lie polite Hanks arbitrarily, as otherwise tho nysumi was but u more Executive machine, aud one which no patriotic and high minded head of the Treasury would wish to have the codtrol of, unregulated by law. Air. IV thou remarked, that were Congress to pass tho Hill with just these modifications, and there stop.it would teud to relieve tho country { and thus much is ne- fl^ery, whether other bills and measures now before Congress do or do not pass. Hut, he added, t'uiuhut the whole system enn never ho • Convanisiit ouo for doing the public business, from tho impediments thrown in the way by the r, objects, charters, and characters of Molting on aggregate of -ixty-ono million* for the year, t $61,000,000 in round mimbers. Then, allowing nyory rea- sonahlo latitude fordilferences of opinion u* to the amount, the result is such ns to make every sober-minded tnnn think of the necessity, and the expediency, and tho practicability of a reduc tion of tho amount, which, nt the otxl of the year, will be iu tho Treasury. The estimates Ibr the year none has set higher than 85 mil lions iif dollars—und till this could not possibly be expended, if appropriated. Unexpended ha- balance* ore ulwuys great in proportion to the amount oftho appropriation;and for tlioso Mr. Webster deducted from the 85 million*, 14 mil lions, leaving 21 miJJioiM to bn axpondud, and actually paid out this year: mid then ho asked, ' ami is even tin* probable or passible?" Any way it could be viewed, with oven the most lib* era! allowances and deductions, Mr. Webster demonstrated that there must ho for tho next, and several ensuing years, n largo surplus reve nue remaining in tlio Treasury—and that it was the duty of Congress to provide for its disposal. It must not remain iu tho Treasury. Ho looked upon it as an anomaly in tins history of govern nients—an extraordinary, occasional, accidental case—a phenomenon, that more monoy bud been sufiered to ncctimulato in tlio Treasury than could possibly be disbursed. It coujd ne ver bo the system of our government. He then examined the caascs which had pro duced this great accumulation ofrevenuo in the Treasury. Ho showed that tho operation oftho Tariff of 1833-3 had been to iucrcuse it, and tho sudden increase oftho value of the public lauds. This last he attributed to the rise of the price of Cotton, to tho low rates at which the lauds are sold, aud to tho expansion ol'bank paper credit. Besides these causes, tho prices of tlioso lauds do not vary and vacillate like that ofothor property, and there are constantly increasing facilities for communication with tho Territory whore they are located, especially with tlmt in the South West,—as Wisconsin, Ohio, Iudintin, be Then there is nil iminen*e amount of foreign capital, iu various forms, in tho country. Tin Stain debts iiitliocounlryumount(coi))i>ntes Mi \V.) to about 6,000,000 nfdolUrs, much of which is owned abroad. This brings active capital in to the country, and this is tho basis of the widely expanded paper system—expanded to three nr four times its original amount. Then, Mr. W. remarked upon the amount of foreign capital forming the basis of mercantile operations hero, wluco he set down at about fiG millions, forming that basis, and supplying the place of so much capital. Then, with so much entorprize, with such large profits, with such a public und perva ding tune of gain—there is no wonder that the lauds should bo quickly bought, indeed very much faster than they could be settled. Mr. Webster wm’in favor of providing a pre sent not a permanent measure, to meet the emer gency. lie could not anticipate the operation of CUIU03 now not seen, tho possible demand* on tho Treasury—tlio causes tliut might effect tlio customs—exportation and importation, &c. The future was subject to contingencies, he said; the time would come when the absorption ol'cap- ital in public binds would cease: impost.* bo viewed as only proper, so fur ns the necessities of government demand, and the proceeds oftho lands should belong to the States—therefore, lie was of the opinion that tlio money should be di vided among the Stntes, ns deposites, for their use, till called for by the government, which would only bo ill such an emergency as is usu ally mot by the imposition of u direct tax. lie objected to Wright’s nnipiidmeut (of which I have told you heretofore,) us unequal, nud a* lia ble to all the objections brought against it hy Calhoun.

We take the following from the Miltedgeville Recorder, being all received by this morning's mail, relutivo to the Creeks. "Our private advices from Columbus, (in ad dition to tho details which wo have taken from the papers,) inform us that an express arrived at Columbus on the 3d, (last Friday,) from Fort McCreary, bringing’tlio intelligence that the Crawford Infantry, Cupt. Carr, but commanded by Maj. Brown, consisting of sixty or seventy men, had a fight with the Indians on tho same morning. This company being informed that tho Indian.* Iind cutioes and intended crossing the river at Boykin’s Ferry, marched to the place, laid in ambush, when shortly nboutsixteen Indi ans, in four canoes, started across*. Tho whites fired, and three Indians wero seen to tumble from the canoes into tho river. The Indians on the opposite bank then presented themselves, and returned tho fire. Tlio firing continued a- cross the river, until the ammunition of the whites was exhausted, when they retired. The number of Indians was computed by tho men at fivo huudred,butts supposed to be exaggerated. One white man was killed: Mr. Cosby of Craw- tbrd. It is supposed four Indians wero killed. Throe companies loft Columbus on tlio 4th, for tlio scono ofuction." "Further account states that the steamboat Georgian, which had left fur Apalucliicolu, was fired on hy the Indians, on her route; tho fire was returned; no damage done, as supposed, on either side." Tho same papor says—" Our accounts from Columbus, dated on Saturday Just, state that Gen. Scott was atthat timo confined to his quarters by sickuess. Gen Jessup was to have loft for Tuskegoo on that day, escorted by three companies of mounted men. Troops wero arriv ing daily, but few of them nrtnjd. Arm* wero r ooked for constantly."

Dear Sin: In a tour to tho West lately, I heard of a new mode of speculating on tho Gov ernment binds. A speculator hires poor men (and tlio poorer tho better,) to squat upon iinsurveyed lands, or those uot in the market, under u pledge that the squatter shall perfect his pre-emption right—the speculator advancing tho purchase money und paying the squatter in money or granting him a portimiofthelatid. Iu tho particular case of a speculator hero, lie sends on fuinilies, underta king to give them ono-qunrter of each parcel of which the Government is thus to lio plundered. In this State tiie public lands aro fust melting away before the march, not oftho settler, but of Eastern capitalists. The lauds nro considered worth, instanter, upon tlio entry, from three to six, nnd evou ten dollars the acre. Tho recent arrangements os to “Land office money," work extremely well for the specula- tors. The man who has $109 to buv n fiirm with, may and does often travel a week with his Cleveland or Warren money, or some other of equal^quality, to exchange it for something the Receiver wdl take; while the man who would bring hi* Eastern fund* with him to enter 10 or 80,000 acres, deposites in a pet batik and bring# a certificate which is receivable, os you know, Or for a Western man who wishes to enter largely, tlio burden of getting jiroper funds is tri vial compared with that to which the humble eighty acre settler is subjected, looking to the re lative extent of their objects.
