BOB BARLOW'S ANSWER TO BILLY’S
LETTER.
Dear Cousin Billy:—I am sotry to hear you
S it into such a tarual scrape down there to
ha:lepton: but 1 tell you what it is, Bill, taint
a priuiiiito anel got into up here lately, if it
was any body butyon. Bill, I woiild'nt tell on't,
but seen its you, 1*11 tell how it was. You
must kuww, Bill, liiey had an encampment up
here a couple of weeks ago, (that is, the foot and
horse company.) well you see. some of us chaps
took it into onr head* that we would jist go up
to the eucanipinent after dark nnd take the sol
diers prisoners, drink all their cider nnd beerai-d
have a bustin frolic So we went to work nnu
planed it all out in the slickest kind of a style;
who was to command, where to commence the
attack and who tdiunld guard the prisoners while
the rest eat and drank all the good things. Oh,
we had It gloriously fixed, 1 tell you. But darn
it, BUI, what a pity it is we cant sometimes see
into futuiity. £ unite of our fellers fretted so
about bavin to keep the searcrei, that they were
takin sick, and to ease their minds of such a
heavy burden they blowed it. Well you see.
the soldiers heard of it, aud I’ll tell you what a
piaguey slick trick they played ks.
The night arrived lor the attack—we met at
our place of rendezvous—sumo had glins unu
a had none, some pistol* without' locks aud
pretty well fixed lor a sham ekii uusli.—
we all turned txir coats (dont meiiiiou
about the turning coals, BjU, lor I wmild’nt have
it thought I’m n turn coal) tied handkerchief-
around our heads, painted red, green and vnllei
and prepared to march to llie attack. The
Captitt, after lixrn us in a kind of straight line,
commenced a speechificuiion thus:—’-Fellow

Al a meeting of the delegates of the associated

were pnst:

of the delegates of the associated hanks of the
city and county 6f Philadelphia, ho appointed to
consider and report to thisbonrd oil Wednesday
next, suitablo measures to be adopted to accom

The president in conformity with the first
resolution, appointed tjie following gentlemen,

Chat S. Bokei, 11. F. Ilulliiisheiid, aud Kliltu
Chauncey.
A ri.iadcl, hia paper of the 5th iust comment'll 1 ;
upon the above proceedings, reinaiks—*• Ti e
present impression is, tlint the committee ap
pointed will recommend a convention of all tho
hanking institution* in ihecoitntiy that went not
r-presented in the New York convention—such
convention to assemble ill Philadelphia at the
earliest possible moment, and then to decide
upon a day for a general resumption.
' This of course, will occupy one or two
in tilths, and the probability therefore is. that the,
banks alluded will make a general resumption
on or before the first day of August, perhaps
e irlier.”
The officers of the Banks of Baltimore also
held a meeting on Monday the 4th hist, when
was determined to ask the Banks in hs
Easter::, Southern and Western States, to meet
in Convention, cither in Baltimore or Philadel
phia, in the course of the ensuing month, for the
purpose of fixing on nil early day fur a general
resumption of specie payments.
The South Carolina Resolutions in favor of
the Sub-Treasury, were received to-day, and

and persevering. Once into the camp, we'll
drive the soldiers from it, eat up all their ginger
bread and drink up all their liquor.”
The’ tiien gave thr.ee cheers and away we
started—sich a piaguey clatter you never heard
uf. 'The darkness was so thick, that yoit cmild
have dtuck a bayonet in it nod lifted yourself
clear from the grouuu. We had not gone far
before the capful sling out; the fellers ihiukiii
lie had co,ne foul of ail iiieiny. rushed on to help
him. aiul tlie first thing I knowed, I found my-
•elfin a big hole with six ft tiers light on tup ol
me. Such a fix as l wasiu—every lime 1 tried
to boiler 1 swallowed about a quart uf mud and
water. Directly 1 feels suinetuin move under
mo,which made me feel uver smrkish like;
presently up pop* n head more ghastly than
that of panqno’s ghost, which 1 saw played in a
theater one night. \Vell we hollered aud hol
lered for suine one to help, us out, till directly I
. thought of these lines,
”Help yon out, help you «hlt.nnch what n bother,
There’* two of you there, can’t you help one
another.'
So I lent the chap, a hand and we paddled our
way out. As soon as we gut on Toner firmer
ns the Latonists say. the caplin who saw Uiat the
thermometor efotir pluck bad fallen sevaral
degrees below- fighting heat, proposed to make
another speech, ns we were near the out-posts
ofthe inemy. Well, Im made us a real fire and
hrinistdue speech, uutil the spirit ufshivalry burnt
within us like a tar barrel. He ordered us to march
ascautiuusly as possible; so when we got near
the camp we hud to git down on our bauds and
knees, and sich a lutuTdiii into ditches, scrambiiu
over brush heaps and pine logs, I never iieercd
tel! on. Directly we sees two chaps on horses
cotniu alright towards us; says I ‘ f Captiu,” for
1,was an officer, “hand,t you better jist stop them
feller#/” So he brings down his old fusee aud
holleraout. *• Who comes there?” * Picket,’ says
they; “pass on picket,” sayso..r caplin, and 1.11
be blast if they didn’t. Says 1. “ I guess them
cliapi is scured eorter bad.”
Jist at that mini', bang! bang! bang ! goos
two or three guns. “Charge tneir, charge,”
jjilgs dill the cu| till, As sennas J iiecrd tuul
my hair begin to raise till it stood right strait up
—so I hollered to my mail to charge right tip
to the cut Hill’s lent and swuller itl nnd us 1
hollered I chnrg«d right up aginst—a big feller
made a report thereon, to accompany the Bill,
heretofore repotted, for the establishment of the
Territory of Oregon.
A number of private Bills were considered.—
Mr. Lyon oflered a Resolution calling for certain
c u respoiideuce in relation to tiie charges made
by Co!. Maitland, ofthe British Army, against
the authorities of the* United Stales and the State
of Michigan, on the Northern frontier.
The New Treasury Order.
Me. VVeirster offered the following Resolution,
which lie* one day:
Resolved, That llie Secretary of the Treasury
communicate to the Senate, a copy of unv order
in circulation, issued hy him to tho Collectors
aud Receivers of public money, since the pas
sage of the Joint Resolution nf the 1st June, 1838.
“ relating to the public revenues and dues lo
the Government.”
Much dissatisfaction prevails nt tlie New
Treasury Order, and an attempt will be made
to procure some modification of it. Tomorrow
it will probably be decided whether the Sub-
Treasury Bill will be acted upon or not at this
session.
v*l he session will very probably be continued
til! tlie 9th July.
In the House, to-day. the Territorial B 11
were in order, to the exclusion of all other busi
ness. Tho Bill for dividing tho Territory of
Wisconsin and establishing the Territory of
Iowa, was considered, and nfter some discussion,
a motion was made to lay it on the table, nnd
lost. Yeas 42, Nays 134. The Bill was finally
passed.
Mr. Adams attempted to make some excite

Still further attempts to Fire the City.—The
cotHtant,though nnsqMHf-ftd efforts to;consume
the remainder of onr ilt-futed pity, ha# fi'd|ed the

We scarcely finish the record of one attempt,
when we nre called upon to recount others, in
every direction of the city. Indeed, the fearful
catalogue begins to n»sumo u regular diary ol sys

The family, who were asleep on the second

would allow any delay in the ex rcu ion of. tho

Mr. White said it was of no cqnscqoonce
