- mV letter of the 25th, 1 expressed an opinion
i Senaie Sub-Treasury bill, in its present
that the . s ,h e House. A vote has been
calculated to confirm that opin
tatteuui read, r Cauibreleng
"!;; ed t refer it to the Committee of Ways and
S “ whereupon some informal conversation
Mean.,- 4 . ‘ moved to lay it on
ensued, ana . one of t)je questions which
the table. 1 /|«bale: but must be taken
does not admit ot u. >
Vlr. Glascock requested, as a matte? of CClUte
cv the gentleman from Virginia to withdraw his
motion for a few moments, he (Mr. G.) pledging
himself to renew the motion before he sat do»il,
It was accordingly withdrawn, whereupon the
gentleman from Georgia urged with ardor, his ob
jections to the proposition, of Mr. Patton. The
,notion was then renewed, and a call of the House
ordered. The niotiou to lay the bill on the table
was taken by yeas and nays, and stood—Ayes 10b,
navs 97 ■ On the question to lay on the table,
tV friends of Mr. Calhoun voted with the admin
istration party in the negative. I think it proba
ble however,’that they thus voted, intending to
commit it. for the purpose of inserting, if possi
ble, Mr. Calhoun's specie section, and if that at
tempt should fad them to vote against its passage.
But this is matter ot conjecture.
At the Extra Session, on the motion of Mr.
Clark, the hill was in like manner laid on the ta
ble. The vote stood, ayes 118—noes 107. Ol
the 107 there are now four vacancies, viz. two in
Mississippi, and two in Maine. The whole num
ber of members is 212; but there are four vacan
cies, and (leu. Ripley detained at home by sick
ness; thus leaving 2.17 members. There were
present to-dav, including the Speaker, 204. Be
sides some of ikase who were present and voted
against laying on the table, on the main question
would vote against the bill. Os the absentees, my
own opinion is, but 1 have not the yeas and nays
before me, a majority are opposed to the bill in
its present shape. So that whatever view is taken
of the question, there is but little prospect of its
parsing without a change in all its leading fea
tures.
Mr. Cainhi-’. 'tig’s Bill, on the same suojeet,
\jt remains Irefore the House; hut you max rest
assured, in the present state of feeling, he will not
call it up for consideration, before the Gist week
in Mav, unless driven to it by some action of the
llouSe. Now is the time for the people to send
their remonstrances against the whole Sub-1 ic.i
surv project, i'll * rebuke unicli lias been giv'ii
f„ the loco foeo party, in both branches of the Na
tional Legislature, within the last forty-eight
hours, has already had a most salutary effect.—
Lot the people act, and relief will come much
sooner than they anticipate.
The Loco Focus, (or rather their managers)
are to have a caucus this evening, preparatory to a
motion which will he made tomorrow, to reconsi
der the vote of todav, laving the bill on the table.
Bv virtue of (he driil sv stem, and an indifference
mi the part of the Whigs, the vote to reconsider
may prevail; but the chances are against it.
Mv raemorv is not very good, hut 1 think in the
year*lß3-1, Mr. Clay’s land bill was sent from the
Senate to the House, and the latter body forth
with laid it o.i the table. This was done bv a
House opposed to Mr. Clay, and to the Senate as
then constitut 'd. The official organ was tuned
up on tli ■ occasion, and indicated, b_v its language,
this procedure was evidence ot the contemptuous
feelings of the House, for tire land bill aud its
author. Well, this may, or it may not have been
true. Emanating from the source it did, it pro
bably was not true. Hut what shall we say of a
House, professedly by a decided majority triendly
to the Administration, and thus cavalierly treat
ing:! i><t in .(sure of that administration? 1 know
wlnt tin; hangers-on ol power will say. i hey
wail say that tireir brethren have turned traitors.
fs it not surprising that the administration should
adli 're with sueli pertinacity to a measure, known
to be so ruinous and so odious as tl?-.' Sub r I reasury
Bill? There is not a crowned head in Europe
whose minister would dure thus to beard the peo
ple. During the reign of George the 1\ , the
British tnlinn w,u agitated and convulsed on the
question of divorcing the King and the. Queen.
It was a favorite measure with the King.
Tin; minister laid before parliament a bill to ef
fect that object. It was ordered to a secoud read
ing by a majority of about si.rty. It was ordered
to a third reading by a majority of about ten.-
With this small majority in liis favor, the minis
ter did not dare to proceed, hut abandoned the
measure, as unpopular, and therefore unsafe to
press upon the nation. Such was the ellect ot
public opinion upon the action of the Government
under a monarchy.
How is it in the United States? What degree
of respect for the wishes and feelings of the peo
ple, does the President, his or Ills
Chancellor of the Exchequer evince ? State al
ter State has abandaned the Executive, and de
nounced, as destructive of tlieir best interests, the
attempt to grasp the money ot the people by the
aid of a Treasury Bank ; and yet the measure is
urged by all the means which power and influence
can control or command.
After laying the Senate bill on the table, tne
House took up, in committee of the whole, the
army appropriation bill. The Senate lias been all
day engaged on the Cumberland Road Bill.

THE SUFFERING MECHANICS.
Fellow Citizens.— More than 500 laborers have
been lately discharged from the Brooklyn
Yard, in the inclemency of winter. It is stated iy
them, and believed, that more than half ot them
have been unnecessarily discharged. Many fami
lies have thus suddenly become destitute, in a tone
of universal ; and are forced to seek relict
from cold and hunger in the assistance of the cliai
itahle. The 'Brooklyn Soup House Association,
daily distributes charity to hundreds whom the
I nited States of America ’ ave abandoned to the
rigors of winter.
Every individual discharged could have been
advantageously employed in the Navy Yard, upon
work ol some kind or other. To whom then are
we indebted lor this unparalleled econemy ? To
the commander of the Navy Yard ? or to the head
ot the Navy Department ! Probably to neither.
I lie source is higher up. A damning responsi
bility rests some where. It has lately become an
orthodox tenet at Washington, that'the Govern
ment and people should each take care of them
selves! This surely is a practical illustration of
the theory.
The Hon. Henrv Clay, of Kentucky, lately pre
sented to the Senate of the United States, a me
morial signed by 1100 citizens of Brooklyn and
New \ ork, stating that they had been ordinarily
employed in the Navy Yard, and petitioning to be
re-employed in the completion of vessels on the
stocks.
Mr. Clay addressed the Senate on the subject of
the petition, in a most feeling and impressive man
ner, anil said that “looking to the condition of
these unfortunate people, he could not but concur
with the sentiment expressed at a large and respec
table meeting lately held in New York, that the
question now was, not ‘bank or no haul;,’ but 'bread
or no bread !”
The government party profess to be the especial
friends iff the poor, and constantly endeavor to ar
ray the poor against the rich. Yet fello w citizens,
these petitioners arc compelled to pray in vain for
relief, to that same party so very friendly to the
poor. Nay more, they are compelled to seek for
friends and advocates of their cause in tiio Biliks of
the Whig pany, whom the government have stig
matised as foe* to the needy! How true the home
ly adage, “acts speak louder than words.”
In political life, public functionaries for miscon
duct, arc amenable to the public. J'i the naval
department the espoinage of the public is seldom
exercised, because its officers are not elective;
and because the consequences to the jJttblic, of
official misconduct, are generally remote, i”;pre
are situations, however, even in that department in
w hich official misconduct may directly prejudice
the public; and in such cases a liberal mind will
readily concede to the injured, the right of inves
tigation. In the name, therefore, of the eleven
hundred petitioners to Congress, I desire the
commandant of the Naval staiion at Brooklyn, to
explain the cause of so many discharges, and to
slate the number of men that might have been ad
vnntageou-ly employed.—As he has incurred pub
lic censure by the numerous and unnecessary dis
charges at his naval station, 1 deem no apology ne
cessary for thus arraigning him at the bar of pub
lic opinion; believing that he will be equally ready
to incur just responsibility, and disabuse the pub
lic if unjustly censured.
IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT—A JAIL.
It is u horrid place —aud many a time, when
through the grates of my prison window, I have
watched the rays of the sett.ng sun as they gilded
some neighboring spire, I have wondered that
any mm could find it in his heart to put a fellow
being in jail for debt. I hav eat last given up the
hopes o'. Liberty—-bUsseil Liberty ! L can hardly
w rife the word w itliout dropping a tear a* the recol
lection of (he joyous days of Liberty which are
gone forever. lam .-ad when I think how they
have fied away like a dream and that mother 1, nor
my creditors can ever rc< all them. W hen 1 enter
ed the wadis of this terrible jail, in which amid the
rattling of chains I am writing this little of my life
I was young, iu good health, blessed with a w ife
w hom 1 adored, aud as fine a hoy as ever smiled in
the face of a father. The hoy is dead; and my wife
is no more,. She was indeed a most excellent w oman
hut she was-wounded to the soul by the horrors of
our situation. Her spirit was broken (low n, and she,
with the infant that caused her sickness, died in
jail, shortly after my imprisonment.
Minder —A murder was committed last week
in Georgetown, Georgia, opposite this place by
one Nathaniel Venerable, who has for some time
past been a resident of Irwinton.
He struck the deceased two blows on the head
with a Gun, w hich eaus.i his death in a few hours.
The deceased was a tailor, by the name of Mc-
Lean, said to he a harmless inoffensive, man.
Venerable was arrested the next day by our citi
zens, and delivered to the civil authorities of Geor
gia. He is now in Randolph Jail to await his tri

MONTGOMERY, March 30.
The peace of our City has again keen disturbed,
by a gross violation of the rights of reason, law,
justice, and humanity. On Wednesday evening
last, "about I o’clock, an affray commenced on
Main St. near the Montgomery Hall. The per
sons engaged were Win. J. M ooney and Kenyon
Mooney his son, Edward Bell, and Bushrod Bell,
.Tr". the first received a wound in the abdomen,
made bv that fatal instrument the Bowie-Knife,
which caused his death in about 15 hours The
second was shot in the side, and would doubtless
have been killed, had not the hall partly lost its
force by first striking his arm. The third received
a shot in the neck, and now lies without hope of
recovery. The fourth escaped unhurt, and we
understand has tied. This is a brief statement of
one of the bloodiest lights that we have ever heard
of. There are numerous stories in relation to its
cause, progress, dec. and the entire facts, at this
particular time, we expect it would he almost im
possible to obtain.
LATEST FROM FLORIDA
By a slip from the Savannah Georgian dated
March 30tli, it is stated that information had been
received from a letter dated March 20th, at Tam
pa Bay, that between five and six hundred Indians
are on their way to Tampa from Ft. Jupiter,* under
the escort of the Tennessee volunteers and a por
tion of the 2d Regiment of Dragoons, and that
Major Loomis of the Ist Infantry had captured
two Indian women who say that Sam Jones had
<rone to the South, and Aligator to the West, that
both were willing to surrender if requested. That
Major Loomis had circumnavigated lake Gheehe
bee in boats.
It is'also stated that Captain Hcwson while cross
ing Cypress Swamp struck the trail of Indians,
pursued and overtook them, about 2o in number.
Capt H. lost four of his men in the attack, was
wounded himself in the abdomen, but not danger
ously. He took four prisoners, and killed sever
al of the Indians—the others escaped.
The news of the captute ofsoo Indians &c. by
Gen Jesup is confirmed, says the Georgian, by
letters received at Ft. Mellon—from which their
informant left on Sunday baforc the 30th ult,

FLORENCE, GA.
Monday, April 10, IN»8.
W e are glad to find that the Commissioners
appointed under the act incorporating Florence,
have entered upon the discharge of their duties,
and that ordinances have been passed for the bet
ter regulation of our town. Those chaps who
have been in the habit of getting the caloric up
on the Sabbath day, and cutting considerable
swells in our streets, had better keep “wide awake
and duly sober,” for if they fall into the iron grasp
of our marshal, they will be handled without
gloves. \\ e refer the reader to another part of
our paper for the Ordinances passed by the Board.
A rencontre took place at Roanoke, three miles
below this place, on Thursday evening last, be
tween Thomas N. Statham and James Temple
ton, in which the former was severely stabbed in
several places, and it is feared he cannot survive.
Templeton lias been committed to await his trial.
THE REPORT.
In another part of our paper may he found the
able report of the Convention lreld in Augusta,
for which we wish to bespeak an attentive perusal.
No Sputhern man, it seems to us, can rise from
the reading of that paper, without being fully con
vinced that it is high time the South should take
care of herself. If indeed it be true, as is argued
in the report, and we have no doubt hut what it Is,
that the action of the Federal Government in
the unequal collection and disbursment of the
public revenue has been somewhat against the
South, while it has been favorable to the North,
are we not greatly to blame in lending our aid to
the accumulation of capital in the hands of Nor
thern Importer? to do that for ns, which we can do
much better for ourselves.
Calculating the expenditures of the Federal
Government for the last twenty years, ending 183(1,
they vvere ascertained |o have been four hundred
and twenty millions of dollars, of which one hun
dred and thirty millions were consumed inpay
ment of the national debt, of the remainder
two hundred aril tm millions were expen
ded in the Northern, and eighty millions in
the Southern States, making a difference of one
hundred ami thirty millions in favor of the North.
During this period the South has paid to the Nor
thern cities not less perhaps than one hundred
millions more to import and export for her. Is it
any wonder then that our friends North of us
should have fattened into bloated importance, and
assumed the right to dictate to us in matters of
greater moment ?
If we wish cotton shipped to Europe it must
pass through the hands of a Northern merchant;
if we want goods from Europe, they must come to
us through the same hands, as if we were not com
petent to transact our own business—surely it must
be thought that tve are a race of inferior beings.
\Ve are greatly at fault in all this matter, for
strange as it may appear, it is nevertheless true,
that we seem to set a higher value upon every
thing that conies from the North. Are we in
want of preachers ? they must come from the
North; a teacher for a country school or college ?
lie must come from the North ;''bhWve want corn
brooms and axe helves ? they must conic from the
North; garden seed and wooden nutmegs? why
they must all come from the North. Strange in
fatuation, shameful dependence. It is time that
we should think and act lor ourselves. Our means
are ample—let them be but properly employed
and all will be well. But read the report.
GEN. SCOTT.
We see in several of our exchange papers that
Gen. Scott is again to be sent to the South for the
purpose of taking charge of tli«‘- United States’
forces stationed in the Cherokee Nation to insure
the removal of the Indians to the West, in case
they should be disposed to resist the execution of
the treaty.
But a few more weeks have now to elapse when
the Cherokees must remove, "peaceably if t'nnj
will, but forcibly if necessary .” There is conse
quently hut little time to he lost, and the Govern
ment cannot act with too much promptness in re
lation to this matter. We believe that if those in
authority had dealt with the Semmoles and Creeks
in the way their duties and the character of the
Indians required, helpless Florida would not now
he bleeding at every pour; the distress and devas
tation which was suffered and w itnessed by our
citizens, would never have been felt by Georgia
and Alabama, and the cries of lamentation would
not have been heard from the widowed wife and
orphaned children; our Treasury would not have
been drained of its millions, neither would our
country's arms have suffered dishonor and dis
grace. The Cherokees may be encouraged by the
success of the Seminolcs, and headed by John
Ross may break out axil do immense mischief. —
We trust however that our rulers have learnt a
lesson from the past, and have been taught effec
tually the force of tlie adage “in the time of peace
prepare for war.” M e have all confidence in the
patriotism and activity of our worthy Governor,
and believe that every thing has and will he done
on his part, to insure the removal of these deluded
people.
THE SUB-TREASURY.
It will be seen by reference to the correspon
dence of the New-York Courier & Enquirer,
which wc publish in another part of today’s paper f
that the Sub-Trwisury experiment has met with
ratheraeool reception in ihe House of Represen
tatives, liavmg boon laid upon the table without
discussion, w here, we trust it will forever sleep the
■txep of death.
The Representatives of the people have, so far,
acted with an independence of character well
worthy the American people. While this bill
has almost wholly engrossed the attention of the
Senate ever since the commencement of the ses
sion, and after being altered, amended and meta
morphosed so as scarcely to be recognized by its
authors, has passed und tumid its way to the
House, where it lias received a blow, which we
trust will prove fatal.
They may perhaps reconsider the vote they
have given, as the party in favor of the measure
are mustering up their rank and file men, but we
think it very doubtful. r l lie members of the
House must certainly know, yea, they do know,
that the people are sick and tired of experiments,
with this fact before their eyes we do not think
they w ill dare so far incur tlie displeasure of the
people, even should they reconsider, as to adopt
the bill upon its filial passage.
May we noi now indulge the hope that the peo
ple’s rights and interests have been maintained,
and their liberties rescued from the grasping hand
of usurpation which lias been stretched out in the
shape of this Sub-Treasury Bill ? Hgve the Rep
resentatives of the people fulfilled the trust repos
ed in them by their constituents, and discharged
tneir duty fearless of the consequences which ninv
flow from the imperial seat upon which Martin
Van Burensits? We hope—we believe they
have. And 1* ii pot time that Mr. Van Buren’s
knees had began to smite, like Beltshazzar of old,
because ol the hand writing that is thus plainly to
be seen oil the wall in this action of the House,
and the Jiearfy apprTP'uJ it will meet with from all
parts of the Union. By this let him learn that
though by chance, elevated to power add tfust,
those who raised him will not, cannot stand still
and see him (ear away their l ights, and jeopardize
their interest, without speaking in a voice which
is not to be misuuderstood, or passed by unheed
ed and disregarded.
MIL CUTHBERT.
We wonder what the friends of this gentleman
will have to say in relation to the course pursued
by him in moving to strike out the favorite section
of the .Sub-Treasury bill for which the Van l>u
ren party have so faithfully and zealously conten
ded, and hv tjie success of which motion all their
labor has b/en lost, tlieir main object defeated
and tlieir plans and intentions entirely frustrated.
It is true he voted for the Sub-Treasury bill, but
was it such an one as the party wished or their
leader desired ? We are certain it is not. Upon
the point of the hard currency system, they have
been particularly tenacious. It was for this Mr.
King was forced into retirement, and for the same
reason Messrs Grantland and Towns have been
severely rebuked, and as Mr. Outhbert has gone
in direct opposition to this part of the bill, we pre
sume if they pursue tire course they have hither
to adopted, that they will “talk to him like a book,"
Irom which lie may read a lesson lie will not very
soon forget, if they do not invite him home in or
der that soure more pliant tool may be sent in his
stead. We shall see.
Indian Deprcdudons. —We are happy to sec
that the citizens of the Creek portion of Alabama,
are alive to tireir interests in this matter. The
•letter of Mr. Lewis lays the subject before them
in its true lieht, and places the claims of the suf
fers upon the true grounds on which they should
stand. That it was the duty of the government
to protect the settlers from the depredations of
tire Indians, it seems to us no one will be arrogant
t«r weak enough to deny ; and that tlie proper au
thorities were informed of the danger and threat
ened hostilities, in time to have arrested them, is
also proven by the correspondence between tlie
.Secretary of War, and the Executive of Alaba
ma. Inasmuch, then as the Government did not
interpose to arrest the arm of the ruthless savage,
either believing, or affecting to believe, that there
was no immediate danger to be apprehended, with
what shadow of Justice can Congress deny the
claims of our citizens for indemnity.
The citizens of Russell have held a meeting, to
consider of the best means of laying before Con
gress, correct information, relative to tlie extent
of hostilities in 1830. We assure our friends in
Russell, and elsewhere that Barbour county is not
behind them in active measures going to effect the
same object. The citizens of this town and vi
cinity, held a meeting on the 23d ult. and appoin
ted a committee, to examine into the extent of trie
hostilities, and whatever might be of benefit to the
sufferers, and forward the same with as little delay
as possible to mr distinguished Representatives
in Congress. We trust other counties adopted a
similar "course, and w ill lay before Congress such
a mass of testimony as cannot fail to convince the
most skeptical, of the justness of their claims.—
Irwinton Hearld.
We understand that a meeting of representatives
of the different banks of Georgia and South Caro
lina, will beheld in Charleston, on the first of next
month, to take into consideration such measures
as’will be proper for them to pursue, and especi
ally in regard to the retnrn to specie payments.
We presume before that day the banks of New-
York will have decided their course in regard to
the same matter. — Recorder.
