I hasten this communication, in order that C®n-S Kress may adopt such measures as may be properS to testily their sense Os the respect which is due 10l the memory of one whose life has contributed sol rssehtlally to the happiness and glory of his COIUI-S try, and to the good of mankind. j* (Signed) ANDREW JACKSOX. K The message having heen read, H Mr. PA I'TON of \ irginia said that the parti k cular relation in which he stood, as his immcdiateS representative and personal friend, townub the! great public benefactor whose decease, ‘•lull olj* years and full of honors," has just been announe-l cd by Ute message of the President of the I uitedj States, had induced the Virginia delegation to de-;-j Volvo upon him the mournful duty of ;•loposiug to:\ the adoption of the House the resolution he about to oiler, for the purpose of iletei mining up-g on the course to be pursued for giving expressions to the national sensibility to the great bereavementjl We had suffered. I do not, however, Mr. Speaker, feel it to be ti 9 suitable occasion in which to employ or indulge in J arty studied phrase or pm'gyrick upon the publ.cj or private virtues of the ' cnerable man whose lossi we deplore. It U true, sir, that early imbued with the sincer est veneration for the character of Mr. Madison, with the profoundest admiration ol his talents, and the warmest giatitude tor bis eminent and varied public services, there is no language that I cot.ld employ which would exaggerate the deep emo tion with which I have been impressed by the me lancholy iiiivHigcucc of his death; nod 1 nm sure that it would be equally impossible for me to speak of him in any terms that would depict an individ ual pre-emiucut in all the virtues of social and private life, or one that combined the merits of a patriot, statesman, and sage, that would not find u ready and full response in the miuds and hearts of all who hear me. But it is not a feeble effort of this kind, such ns 1 could make, nor even by the highest effort of human eloquence, the lofty inspiration of poetry, “the storied urn or animated bust," that can rear an appropriate monument to the memory of Mr. Madison, or erect a suitable monument to his fame. His appropriate and enduring eulogium is to be found inscribed in those pages of his country’s his tory, which arc identified w ith her honor and gio ry. It is engraved upon every pillar of that splen did fabric of constitutional liberty under which w< live. It is identified w ith the existence of thatglo rious Union of confederated States which he con tributed so essentially to form, and the mainten ance and preservation of which, with all its nume rous blessings, were the constant objects of his care during his long, laborious, and useful public life.B and of his most earnest and anxious solicitude in the shades of retirement. And Mr. Speaker, another ami not less decisive and more affecting evidence of his merit and title to public gratitude, will be found in the deep grief with which his loss will be deplored by every man in the nation as a great national calamity, I offer the resolution which I now send to the Chair. Resolved. That a committee be appointed on the Cart of this House, to join such committee as may e appointed on the part of the Senate, to consider and report by what token of respect and affection it maybe proper for the Congress of the United States to express the deep sensibility of the nation to the event of the decease of Mr. Madison, just announced by the President of the United States to this House. The resolution having been read— Mr. ADAMS rose, and addressed the Speaker By the general sense of the House, (said he.) it i-H with perfect propriety that the delegation from th> g Commonwealth of Virginia have taken the lem'fl in the melancholy duty of proposing the measure suitable to be adopted as testimonials of the vene ration due from the Legislature of the Union t< the memory of the departed patriot and sage, ihi native of their soil, and the citizen of their com munity. It is not without some hesitation, ami some dis fideace, that 1 have risen to offer in my ow n be half, and iu that of my colleagues upon this flooi, and of our common constituents, to join our voice at one* of mourning ami of exultation, at the e vent announced to both Houses of Congress by the message from the President of the United States— of mourning at the bereavement which has fallen our common country by the decease of one of her most illustrious sons—of exultation at the specta cle afforded to the observation of the civilized world, and for the emulation of aftertimes, by the close of a life of usefulness and of glory, after for ty years of service in trusts of the highest dignity and splendor that a confiding country could be stow, succeeded by twenty years of retirement and private life, not inferior, in the estimation of the virtuous and the wise, to the houors of the highest station that ambition can ever attain. Os the public life of James Madison what could I say that is not deeply impressed upon the memo ry, and upon the heart of every one within the sound of my voice? Os bis private life, what but must meet an echoing shout of applause from eve ry voice within this Hall? Is it not in a pre-emi nent degree by emanations from bis mind that we are assembled here as the representatives of thej people and the States of this Union? Is it alls not transcendently by his exertions that wed address each other here by the endearing ap-H pellatiou of countrymen and fellow-citizens ? OfS that baud of benefactors of the human race,.theg founders of the Constitution of the United States,! James Madison is the last who has gone to his re-6 ward. Their glorious work has survived them all. They have transmitted the precious bond of union to us, now entirely a succeeding generation to them. May it never cease to be a voice of adtno tion to us of our duty to transmit the inheritance unimpaired to ourchildrcn of the rising age. Os the personal relations of this great man, which gave rise to the long career of public ser vice, in which twenty years of my own life has 1 been engaged, it becomes me not to speak.— The fulness of the heart must be silent, even to! the suppression of the overflowings of gratitude and affection. The resolution was agreed to, and the com mittee ordered to consist of one member from each State. A message was received from the Senate, announcing the adoption of the following reso lution by that body : In Senate. of the United Staten, Juno 30, 1836. Resolved, That a committee be appointed on the part of the Senate, to join such committee as may be appointed on the part of the House, to consider and report by what tokens of re spect and affection it may be proper for the Congress of the United States to express the deep sensibility of the nation to the event of Hie decease of Mr. Madison, jnst announced by the President of the United States. Ordered, That Mr. Rives, Mr. Clay, Mr/ Calhoun, Mr. Grundy, Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Leigh, and Mr. Tallmadge, be the committee. Attest, WALTER LOWRIE, Sec. On motion ofMr. PATTON, the House con curred in the resolution of the Senate, and ac cording to a previous order of the House, the committee was ordered to consist of one from each State in the Union; and the following gentlemen were appointed: Mr, Patton, of Virginia, Mr. Mason, of Maine, Mr. Cushman, of New Hampshire, Mr. Adams, of Massachusetts, Mr. Toucoy, of Connecticut, Mr. Pearce, of Rhode Island, Mr. Allen, of Vermont, Mr. Ward, of New York, Mr. Parker, of New Jersey, Mr. Anthony, of Pennsylvania, Mr. Milligan, of Delaware, Mr. Washington, of Maryland, Mr. Deberry, of North Carolina, Mr. Griffin, of South Carolina, Mr. Coffee, of Georgia, Mr. Johnson, of Kentucky, Mr. Dunlap, of Te npessee, Mr. McLene, of Ohio, Mr. Ripley, of Louisiana, Mr. Carr, of Indiana, Mr. Claiborne, of Mississippi, *! r ’ Reynolds, of Illinois, Mr. Lyon, of Alabama, Mr. Harrison, of Missouri. I^ExTrESIDENT MADISON. I Mr. PAT I’OX, from the Select Committee,® [made the following report: & 1 “The President of the United States hav-S [inir communicated to the two Houses of 'the melancholy intelligence of the death of j ■their illustrious and beloved fellow-citizen,? Uami s Madison, of Virginia, Lite Presidents? ’of the United States, and the two Houses shar-5? ’ing in the general grief which this ■event must produce : M I Rfiolrrd by the Senate and House u’) ißrprrst ntatirr s ot the United States, in Crm-a <grrss asst mbled, That the Chairs of the Presi-\ ‘dent of the Senate, and of the Speaker of they .House of Representatives, be shrouded in black* during the present session ; and that the Presi-® Idem of the Senate, the Speaker of the House’ll' [of Representatives, and the members and olli-*S cers of both Houses, wear the usual badge mourning for thirty days. li I “ Resolved, That it be recommended to the|| people ol the I nitetl States to wear crape on«F the left arm, as mourning, for thirty days. "Resolved, That the President of the Uni-S ted States be requested to transmit a copy oijl these resolutions to Mrs. Madison, and to sure her of the profound respect of the twos Houses of Congress for her person and charac-5 ter, and of their sincere condolence on the late® afflicting dispensation of Providence.” The report and resolutions were concurred 3 in unanimously. On motion of Mr. BRIGGS, the Houses adjourned at one o’clock in the morning. HEAD QUARTERS OE THE ARMY. ) Adjutant Office, • Washington, July 1,1836. \ ORDER No. 45. The Major General, commanding in chief, has received, through tlie War Department, the commands of the President, to announce to the army the death of the illustrious statesman and patriot, Er-President Madison, who died at Ins seat at Montpelier, in Virginia, on the mor ning of the 28th of June. As a testimony of the feeling for the loss which the nation has sustained in the death of this great and distinguished citizen, in which the army participates, the President directs that funeral honors, agreeably to the regulations, be paid to the memory of the deceased, at all the military posts, the day after the receipt of this order, and by the army in the field, where circumstances will permit. By command of Major General Macomb. R. JONES, Adj. General. Mr. Madison was born in Virginia, on the 17th of March, 1750, was a Member of the Le gislature in 1775, one of the Council of Vir ginia in 1776, Member of the Congress of the Revolution and of the Convention which form ed the Constitution of the United States, elec ted a Member of the first Congress, in which body he remained rainy years ; was appointed Secretary of State tin ler Mr. Jefferson on the sth of Mirch 1&)I; inaugurated as President Id the United Stites, on the 4th of Mtrch 1809, and again on the 4th of March, 1813. INDIAN WAR. It is now generally understood that the war is closed, so far as relates to the great body of the Creek Nation. With the exception of the party which crossed into Georgia not long since, and murdered several families in Baker county, it is believed there will be no further occasion to fire another gun ; and that band of outlaws have been so beaten and routed by the forces under Col. Beall, that they will hardly rally again. Having encamped themselves in a swamp, which they deemed impenetrable to the white man, they were reclining in conscious security, when Col. B. with an intrepid band, overcom ing every obstacle which nature had placed in his way, broke suddenly’ upon them, killed nine who were found, and made himself master of their camp, tents, clothes, blankets, provisions, ammunition, goods of various descriptions which they had taken at Roanoke, besides money, camp equipage, five horses, &c. of which all was destroyed except such articles as could be taken out of the swamp ; and on the day folio w- Eintr, thirty horses more were taken from them. JAV e hope soon to learn that the whole party are tin the hands of our forces; and from tlience jlorth may we be relieved from the war cry of Ethe savage through all time to come. CHEROKEE TREATY. The Bill to appropriate four millions five hundred thousand dollars, for carrying into ef fect, the Treaty lately concluded with the Che rokees, has passed both Houses of Congress, after encountering the most vindictive opposi tion of some of the leading IlVtigs. SUPPRESSION OF INDIAN HOS TILITIES. A Bill appropriating two millions four hun dred thousand dollars for the suppression of In di in hostilities, has passed the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, which, with those of the same character hereto fore passed, will afford ample means for the contemplated object. MR. WISE, r.s. GEORGIA. This rantipole orator, who has been so much extolled by the niillifiers for his talents and pa triotism, and particularly for his State right principles, now stands distinctly identified with the enemies of Georgia upon a question of vital importance to her people. lie has taken sides gwith the Cherokees—denounced Georgia for the exercise of a sovereign right, and exerted himself to the utmost, to prevent the fulfilment of the Treaty, in opposing the appropriation by which alone it could be carried into effect. with John Quincy Adams and other malignant spirits in the House, Mr. Wise has distinguished himself for his bitter hatred and most unqualified opposition to the rights of Georgia. Will the niillifiers still praise him ? Ik ho are the friends of Georgia 1 Van Buren and his friends. Who voted for the ratification of the Chero kee Treaty ? Van Buren's friends. Who voted against it ? They were all White, Webster, Harri son—Whigs. Who opposed the appropriation for carrying the treaty into effect ? John Q. Adams, Everett, Wise, &.c. &c. &,c. all whigs. Well! well! How this whig party is mixed up of all sorts of people ? Adams and Everett are abolitionists, and Wise is a nullifier, and yet how wonderfully they amalgamate upon • very question involving the interests of Gcor- >gi«, While Van Buren and his friends go in fori “us "like a book". i It won’t do. The sober sense of the peoples ?can distinguish their friends from their « The niillifiers may attempt to throw dust in" [their eyes, but we can tell them as the boy said,a (“you can't fool Parker with corn cakes, when? .there's biscuit about.” K ! General Scott is expected hourly. * Governor Schley will be in this plafco on ; ‘Saturday or Sunday next. | IT 11E SURI’LUB REVENIIE—I>EPOSITS.I “! Tiie question which has produced so much ; among the bankites, the federalists, Inullifiets,since Gen. Jackson removed the pub-/ [lie revenue; which has furnished the material forJ (the panic-speeches and alarm-guns, which were: fever and anon bursting from the Halls of Con-< Igress, during the session of 184—5, is now set-: Itled. ' [’ | By the late act, the surplus revenue which; [has or may hereafter accrue, over and abovea Jfive millions of dollars, is to be deposited from* land after the first dav of January next, in they [Treasuries of the several States, in proportion [to their representation in Congress, to be trans ferred quarterly, and to remain in the custody ol the States without interest, until called for bv the General Government. According to the best data in our possession, Georgia will receive in the course of the next year, one million of dollars, and as it is not at all probable that the money will be called for, in the course ol many years to come—a verv important question presents itself at once to the consideration of our fellow-citizens.—How is this large sum to be disposed of? Is it to lie dormant and unproductive, or should it be so managed as to produce a revenue to the State ? There can be but one answer to tliisquestion. If it must come into the possession of the State—if the responsibility ofkeoping it, and the liability to refund it are to rest upon her shoulders, let her so use it, as to realise from it, an equivalent for those high obligations ; and at the same time, in a manner best calculated to diffuse its benefits among the greatest numbers of her people. How then, can that object beattaaned? We answer—by placing it in the Central Bank, to be loaned out according to the regulations of that institution, at the low rate of six per cent. It will enable the Bank to accommodate all who may apply with good and substantial notes —relieve the necessities of those who arc com pelled to borrow money at ten, twelve, fifteen, or twenty per cent, and thereby produce a hap py result in reducing the exhorbitant rate of in terest at which many good men are now com pelled to borrow ; while at the same time, ii will produce sixty thousand dollars per annum of clear interest, to be applied to such objects a t future Legislatures may direct, If this policy should be adopted at the next session, it will enable the Bank, with its pres ent means, to loan out iu the year 1837, one mil lion three hundred thousand dollars ; and in stead of one distribution of three hundred thou sand dollars, she may distribute three hundred and twenty five thousand every three months during the year. FOR THE STANDARD OF UNION. Jflr. Editor— The following is an extract from the speech of Paulus Emilius to the Ro man people, as he was about to take tiie com mand of their army. How true are the remarks of that great Gene ral. Let the people of Georgia read them, and then reflect on the injustice which some have been disposed to heap on the shoulders of Gen. Scott, (the hero of “Lundies Lane,”) during the late I lorida and Crock campaigns. [Here follows the speech.] “ i ou seem to me, Romans, to have express-! ed more joy when Macedonia fell to my lot,! than when I was elected Consul, or entered up-J on that office—and to me your joy seemed to her occasioned by the hopes you conceived, that E: should put an end, worthy of the grandeur and? reputation of the Roman people, to a war,® which in your opinion, has already been of too! long continuance, I may venture to assure you,’, that 1 shall do my utmost not to fall short ofyourl expectations. I shall take care to transmit to you, as well as to the Senate, an exact account of all that passes, and you may rely upon the certainty and truth of my letters. But 1 beg of you, as a great favor, that you will not give credit to, or lay any weight, out of credulity, upon the light reports, which are frequently spread abroad without any author. I perceive well, that in this war, more than any other, whatever resolution people may form to obviate these rumoirs, they will not fail to make impression, andinspire, I know'not what discouragement. Tlere are those, who in company, and even at table, command armies, make dispositions, and prescribe all the opera tions of the campaign. They know better than we, where we should encamp, and what parts it is necessary for us to seize, at what time, and by what defile we ought to enter Macedonia; where it is proper to have magazines; from whence, either by sea or land, we are to bring provis ions, when wo ought to fight the enemy, ant when lie still. They not only prescribe what is best to do,! but for deviatingever so little from their plans; they make it a crime in their General. Bud know, Romans, this is of very bad effect wit'ii your Generals.” And may we not also add, Know, Americans,' that such is of very bad effect with your Gene-! ra >s.

Scott bad been ordered® to give up the command in the South. The Wash-ra mgton correspondent of the Southern Patriot, inji his letter of the 29tb ult., confirms this statement.® and adds that the President has ordered an inquiry into Gen. Scott’s conduct, in relation to both the Seminole and Creek campaigns. (?eu. Jesup, already on the spot, succeeds him of course. We have little doubt that Gen. Scott will sustain any irdca), to which be may be subjected, without prejudice to bis military’ skill or well-earned lau ds. W e have seen nothing, that renders tiie re call of Gen. Scott from his Southern com mand other than the rumor of Washington let ter writers, who tell more lies than they will ev er atone for. It may, however, be true, as the General may’ wish an investigation into his conduct to silence his enemies at once and for ever. It is altogether the fashion with some people to abuse him—asking now at the close of the (. reek war it Gen. Scott has done any thing; as if the commanding General was ex pected to be the leading man in the swamp, and lis hand the first that throttled Neah-Maribla and Jim Henry. If any’ thing spirited or praise worthy is done by any’ portion of his command, it is aked, why did not Gen. Scott do it, as iffi he was expected to plan, and execute too, allg .he well-devised measures of the But we are tired of the injustice, which sorne’O strange propensity is leading a portion of then public to do this officer.— Coltrier.

Ardent in the cause of his country, he enroll-3 ed himself as a volunteer in the late FlofidaS campaign, and performed duty as a soldier andg patriot under the command of Capt. Meriweth-g er of the Georgia Fencibles, until he was hon'-0 □rably discharged.
