The .Madisonian, the recognized organ of Mr.
hives, at Washington, replies to ao article of the 1
Globe, iu which the latter print calls Mr Hives
••a renegade, whose only governing principle is
the spoils of office.” The Madisonian, who
must derive his knowledge on the subject from
Mr. Rives himself, disproves the charge by in
forming us that when Mr. Rives, in obedience
to the Virginia Legislature, resigned his place
>u the Senate, he received a letter frourGen. Jack
son, offering him any situatiou he might choose
in his Cabinet, or am? where, else within his gift—
aH of which was declined by Mr. Rives. But
again, and to which we would especially invite
the attention of the reader, the Madisonian furth
ermore informs us, that Mr. Van Buren invited
Mr. Rives to accept ofthe War Department, with
an understanding, that as the Secretaryship of the
State Department would goon thereafter become va
cated, he should then be transferred to that, sup
posing that it would be more acceptable to him
—which Mr. Rives al so declined.
Now our readers wi 11 possibly recollect when
we referred to this v fry subject, giving almost
verbatim the above «t. stenient, when we informed
our readers that we 1 md it from such sources as it
was hard to doubt, tl jat Mr. Forsyth was about to
be outsted to make say for Mr. Rives, how the
Administration press in this State did kick up—
Oh no, it could oe the that Mr. Van Buren was
going ?• prove so r ingratful to his friends in Geor
gia, as to cast Mr. Forsyth overboard. If we do
not greatly fail in our memory of their course,
they pinniply de aied that there was any truth in
the report what pver. How stands the case now ?
Mr. Rives has let the cat out of the bag, and ful-
Iv verified ih * .ruth ofthe information we received
and which we communicated to our readers.
Truth is very apt, sooner or later, to manifest its
elf, thou gh kike the shii, fogs arid clouds may for
a time obscure it.— -South, liec.

THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
\Ve learn with great plAisuie that the Select
Committee of the U. S. House of Representa
tives, now in this city, are devoting themselves
eudusively to the discharge of the important ob
ligations imposed upon them by the popular
branch of Congress, and are in the way of fulfil
ling the h'ghest expectations of the country. —
The public prints have Already indicated the kind
ness and respect which the municipal authorities
have displayed towards the committee, in exten
ding to them a formal vote of the hospitalities of
the city; and we know that private sociality, on
the part of our fellow-citizens, lias not been be
hind the public authorities in providing for and
devising the greatest amount of gratification to
these official functionaries oft lit nation. Pleased,
however, as we cannot but be with these honora
ble manifestations, we are still more pleased to
foam the inflexible detennin? tion of the commit
tee not to be drawn or turned aside from the im
portant purposes for which they have been dele
gated to visit-us; and that they invariably denied
themselves the honors and the numerous personal
gratifications which have been proffered to them
Their sessions, we understand, commence at ten
o’clock in (he morning, and continue until past
four i:i the afternoon, and are renewed again at
seven in the evening, and continue until ten o- la
ter. We accord to such sedulous industry the
commendation of “well don*, thou good and faith
ful servants," let the result lie as it may, in either
implicating or exonerating the accused parties of
the high political and moral breaches of obligation
and duly that have been charged upon them.

NEW YORK. January 28.
We continue to have extraordinary weather.
The wind now blows with violence, aud is very
cold.
Tbe loss by the gale in this city is variously es
timated from $506 000 to three times that amount;
but there are no data for even an estimate as high
as half a million. The great damage, probablv,
lias been, in destroying merchandise in the cellars
on W„ter and South streets. What mischief it
has done in unroofing and overthrowing partly
erected dwellings can not he easily reparied The
little injury done to the shipping in port is very
remarkable. Seven vessels, not of large size,
were blown on shore at the Quarantine Ground,
and in the lower bay ; and a large vessel is repor
ted to be on the Roekaway beach, from which we
have not yet heard. She does not appear like a
packet ship, as seen from the telegraph, but seems
to have a good many persons on board, as it is re
ported.
The mails are all disarranged as yet. The
Northern mail arrived at a late hour last night.
The Eastern mail of Saturday is.notyet in. The
Southern mail is a day behind.
The Committee of Investigation continue their
labors with unremitted assiduity. They decline
all invitations, and devote themselves exclusively
ito the public work. As all they do is done in
their own committee room, in the Custom-house,
but little is known to the Public. They examine
witnesses of times present and of times past, who
have been conversant in the administration of the
affairs of the Custom-hnnse department here ;
and a mo-fig the results of their investigation, one
tof -she most useful lights will undoubtedly be
flint which will lead to a better and safer mode of
doing the public business.
The patroon General Stephen Van Rensselaer

ter of free banking.

Ot the Gale and Storm we have a wide-spread
record of havoc. Albany has met with sad losses,
even aumountitig to one million of dollars, it is -
stated. The steamboat North America, at the j
whart there, is nearly destroyed. A great deal |
of ffnur in store has been spilt. Trnv and Cntts-j

gre it damage lets been done
I he Governor of New Brunswick, so his mes
s *• to the Provincial Legislature, expersses
hi- satisfaction with the apparent disposition of
<foi Government to put down invasion opon the j
British territories. He recommends that great
attention be paid to the royal road from the Lower
to the Upper British Provinces, and intimates that
the home Goveicmeut contemplate the carrying
of tlie mails over sea by steamships instead ot
packets as heretofore.
In our State Legislature, the Regency party
have not shown their baud. It is clear that they
intend to hold onto their old friend, the Editor ot
the Argus, as public priuter, who is so by statute,
to the last, but they have some misgivings about
preventing the election of a Uuited States Senator,
and depriving tfie Governor of his customary
patronage. It is found somewhat dithcult to make
all the Regency Senators staud fire.
One of the most impoitant officers in this State
now, if not the most important, is the Comptrol
ler, who has the regulation of the whole ot the
free banking securities, aud the issuing ot their
currency. The Comptroller is, iu fact, “the
money king”—the money maker; aud as upon
the judicious exercise of n;s judgment rests the
whole fabric of the free banking system, the office
is one of the most important a mancau hold iu this
country.
The Committee of Investagation are all work
and no play. They look as wise as owls, but what
they are doing the whole active coips of news
papers and reporters cannot even guess at.
Tit" money market is without change. Stocks
to-day fell a little. We wait for Europeoan news
with some anxiety. If the Great Western an
ticipates the packet, her budget will beau abun

A PENITENTIARY SUBJECT.
A man, calling himself Win. Stuckey, was sen
tenced at the last term of the Superior Court of
tins county, to two years’ imprisonment in the
Penitentiary for horse stealing, upon his own con
fession.
He was, withal, the most candid man we ever
heard of. It appears he was travelling through
the country, on his way to South Carolina, upon
a very poor, broken-winded horse, and fearing his
conastoga would not hold out to perform the
journey, made it convenient to stop at a gentle
man’s stable in this county, and exchange for one
better able *o perform the service, and had made
his way nearly to Travellers’ Rest before he svas
overtaken, When brought into court he reques
ted of the Judge that liis case might be brought
immediately up so thathe might know his fate as
soon as possible ; which was accordingly granted.
When the question was propounded to him, —
“Are you guilty or not guilty of the crime for
which you stand charged ?” he unhesitatingly
and distinctly responded, “GUILTY,” and then
stated the circumstances as we have detailed them
above. It was suggested to him that the mere
taking one horse out of a stable and putting ano
ther in, could not be considered any thing more
than an exchange. “Gentlemen,” said he, “yon
can have it what you please, but 1 would call it
stealing, and nothing more nor less than steal
ing /”
The Court accordingly sentenced hi mas above.
We have neglected to inform our readers, that
Cook, the celebrated robber and murderer, an ac- j
count ot whose black deeds we published a few

FOR THE CKOKQIA MIRROR,.
Messrs. Editors'—Allow me, through your
columns, to call the attention of the public, and
especially the good people of Florence, to an evil,
the more alanniug iu its nature to the upright aud
well meaning portion of society, because of its
daily increase. I allude, Sirs, to the vile and un
lawful practice of some of the venders of ardent
spirits iu your town, of retailing out the same in
large and small quantites to negroes, without a
permit from the owner of the slave. But, Sirs,
the worst is not yet told. *As if the violation of a
salutary law of the laud, were not of itself an of
fence sufficently enormous, these reckless ofleu
ders of law aud good order are found profaiuiug
aud desecrating the Sabbath day iu the clandes
tine accomplishment of the disgraceful traffic, for
tfte sake of a pitiful, unrighteous and unlawful
gain. The bad effect of sucli a state of things
can be felt only by slave owners, who will be com
pelled to take the matter in their own bauds, aud
they are determined to do it. A reformation must
take place, and if yourcivil authorities will not do
their duty, the slave owuers iu this neighborhood
will interdict all communication aud intercourse
of their slaves with your town. Nay, I for oue
itt least, am determined, moreover, to prosecute
such offendr* a to the l ull extent of the law, and l
will be diligent iu ferreting out sufficient proof to
convict them of such illicit traffic.—Messrs. Edi
tors, 1 repeat it, something must be clone oa the
subject, it is of the utmost importance to the well
being and interest of the honest portion of your
citizens. You may establish banks, erect bridges
or what not, for its prosperity,‘but sb long as these
obstacles remain, the slave owuers who are suf
ferers from this evil, will remain alienated from
your welfaie; and instead of aiding and promo
ting the risejaud progress of your oromising young
town, they will he compelled in self defence and
for self protection, to obstruct and put down
the source and cause of much disquietude and
injury to their interest,and if experience shall prove
that from a want of moral firmness in your com
munity or weakness in the arm of the law that the
evil is beyond remedy, instead of liailiug with
joy and gratitude the establishment of your town,
its distraction will be rejoiced as a day of deliver
ance. But I know Sirs, that if the proper efforts
are made, the sources of corruption can be
removed. Let your civil authorities hold your
officers charged with the preservation of good or
der in your town, accountable for thi transgres
sion of its municipal decrees, by offenders against
the same and it will stimulate them to double
vigilance—offer liberal rewards to those who may
testify against offenders of both law and authority ;
leave no expediontuntried that maj tend to bring
about a wholesome in lieu of the present rotteuand
shameful state of things-—depend upou it you
will be repaid an hundred fold for my and every
expense both of labor and money— for 1 consider
that the interest credit, and reputation of yourtown
is at stake in this important matter, when ;t is re
collected that “a good name is a jewel above all
price.” More anou.

SUSPENSION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.
Our attentive friend ofthe Mobile Mercantile
Advertiser, by an express slip, announces, “with
feelings of the deepest mortification,” fist the
Branch ofthe State Bank of Alabama, in that ci
ty, has suspended specie payments a second time.
This movement ofthe Branch Bank seems to
have been wholly unexpected ; but is explained
by a statement of the Cashier; front which it ap
pears, that in the short space of 24 days, they
paid the enormous sum of §217,987 66 in specie*!
The other Banks ofthe city had declared their
determination not to suspend.
Since writing the above received
another slip of a later date, from the office of the
Advertiser, the Editors of which, In again refer
ring to the suspension, say that it meets the erm
demnation of every citizen with whom they have
conversed. It appears that the Bank, by its own
showing has $383,000 in specie in its vanlts, also,
it is said, available funds and bills running to ma
turity in New Y r ork, within the next sixty days,
including reported negotiations to the amount of
$1,500,000, to $2,000,000, together with 100,
to $200,000, maturing in New Orleans, kesides
credits to enable the Bank to check on Boston
for ?iOO,OOO, and on England for eCuO.OOO, ster
ling. In addition to all this, facilities to a con
s derable amount have been tendered the State
Bank by the Agent af the U. S- Bunk, and by
the Planters’ and Mechanics’ Bank, and Bank of
Mobile—and yet she suspends ! What’s the mat
ter ?
Slid Later.—Wo have recieved another slip
from our attentive correspondent of the M<> bile
Advertiser, dated Thursday last, from which we
learn that the Chamber of Commerce in that city,
at a called meeting, had adopted a resolution ap
pointing a committee of five to enquire into the
causes that have led the Branch of the Bank of
the Siate of Alabama, to suspend specie pay
ments.
In the same slip the Branch Bank presents an
expose ofthe causes of suspension, which are sta
ted to be the indebtedness of the institution to the
United States, its general liabilities, the removal
of individual deposites to a large amount, and.
st range to say, a general want of confidence in the
Bank to sustain her late resumption. It is, how
ever, stated in conclusion, that arrangements
have been made, which will enable her to re
sume iD a very short time.— Ga. Journal.
FLORIDA WAR.
From an officer who arrived last evening, from
the seat oftvar. we learn that the India its are scat
tered through middle Florida, in very small par
ties, and that there is no prospect »f bringing the
war to a close for some time. Cattle in grfeat a
huiidance are found in all the hajnmocks, to
which they resort for fdod and jhe few Indians
who have been killed and taken, were plentiful
ly supplied with ammunition of the best quality.
—Gen. Taylor had son" to Tampa Bay, having
learned that a number ofthe Seinirioles and Mi
rnsukes intended to surrender themselves at that
place.
It was reported that the express rider from
Fort Harley to Micanoov had been killed, near
the latter place. Very little confidence was pla
ced in the rnmor of a surrender at Tampa Bay.
Gen. Taylor has established a cordon of posts
from Tallahassee to Sitwannnee river, between
which and the Gulf, most ofthe Indians are sup
posed to be. Twenty-five men of each company
are mounted. which renders a speedy concen.ra
tiou of a considerable force practicable upou an
emergency. And by gradually drawing the posts
towards the Gulf, thus narrowing the field of ope
rations, tlie general expects to force the ludiaus
to ajspeedy surrender.
Major Noll, with the greater part of the sixth
regiment, left Deadman’s bay on the morning of
the 27th Jan., for the mouth of the Suwannee,
where, it was understood, a coonsiderable party
of the Sentinoles were concentrated.
Gen. Taylor has been very active and zealous
in endeavoring to bring about a termination of
this protracted war.— S. O. Bee.
We feel it imperiously our duty, to call public
attention to the objects for which the Couveution
is to be held in May next; and to invite to the in
vestigation and discussion of this important mat
ter, those who are capable of Tendering public
service, by the use of their taleut and experience.
Altbo’ we believe the public tuiud to be thorough
ly convinced of the necessity of the reduction of
our legislative body—though all we believe are
satisfied that such reduction will superinduce as
consequents, a great saving of the public niouey,
a much gteater personal responsibility on the part
ot the representative, and much more wholesome
legislation—yet we feel not less certain, that
great and obvious iliflieulties lie in the way of
bringing about this much to be desired measure.
Good feeling and R conciliatory spirit, we deem
mure important qualifications for members ofthe
approaching Couventoin, than eyen intellectual a
hihty. A compromising spirit must pervade the
body, or we fear their labors will be worse than
useless. Hence the essential importance ofthe
Cos unties selecting their most discreet, experienced
and patriotic citizens as their representatives for
this delicate and important sejwice. In the di
versity of sectional interests and feelings, there
will be very much to excite the greatest jealousies
and to call foith the strongest exercise of good tem
per, and of a patriotism that will act for the Siate,
the whole State, an! nothing but the State.—
Sectional jealousy and selfishness, we trust, will
be as much eschewed ou the one hand, as party
political purposes, will be lost sight of on the oth
er. The welfare of the State must be the con
trolling principle, or the welfare of the State will
not be ptomoted by the Convention.—Those who
had the opportunity which we had of witnessing
the proceedings of the last Convention held for
this purpose, will not think we are now laying
too much stress on the qualities which we have
been so seriously recommending. In that Con
vention, even age the most venerable, experience
the most profound, and talent the most distin
guished, did not, and could not prevent the most
violent explosion of feeling and temper, and we
regret to add, the most narrow-minded an 4 uu3
just course of action. That Convention proved
worse than useless ; its measures were rejected by
the people, and well did they deserve to be so re
jected. \Ve trust that the incidents of that day,
may not be lost on us at present. If we do not
profit by experience, our case is hopeless indeed.
If the people desire the reform so much and so
long talked of, they will not fail to send as their
representatives on this interesting occasion, their
most discreet, soberminded and public spirited
citizens.
We shall recur again and again to this subject
and iu the mean time invite its discussion, in
short and pithy articles, hy our readers who may
feel a proper interest in the subject.

duties of which he discharged with honor tohirn
sclf, being nt all times remarkable for his strict
adherence to jusliee, keeping inviolate the Gol
den Rule of “doing unto others as he would
have them do to himself.” Notwithstanding his
advanced age and infumity, he was voluntarily
engaged in many ofthe skirmishespvhich occurred
during t!.e war in 1836, against the Creek Indians;
—he was actively engaged in the battle near his
plantation on their retreat to the Ichawaynocha
way swamp, in which he fought valiantly, even:
after he had received a severe wound in the
shoulder, hy a bullet from the enemy, since that
event he has not experienced a well day. In the
death of this good man, the poor have lost one of
their best fi tends, and community one ofthe

the dyspepsia, which he bore with Christian forti
tude, Samuel Williams Esq. in the 50th year
of his age. He had been laboring for several
years under the disease which terminated his
earthly career, but by prudent caution had been
ablcto attend to his business, which was various
and extensive, until abont the beginning of winter
when he was confined to his bed, from which he
never arose. During the whole time of his ex
treme rllness.be never was heard to murmur or
complain, but being calmly resigned, he bore it
with that christian-like and manly firmness which
was always characteristic of him. He had served
bis country faithfully and satisfactorily to all, in
several instances. He had been a member in the
Senatorial Branch of the Geornl Assembly of this
State, for several years—-which station he filled
with becoming dignity, and during the late Creek
War, he shouldered his musket, and was ready
t tall times to perform his country’s service.
He was in several engagements with the Indians;
wasat the memorable burning of Rnanoak-—where ;
he displayed as mnch coolness and bravery, during
the whole of the engwgenjeirt, as any nran upon i
the ground. His whole course of life, whet lie
i in the councils ofliis couutry orou the.field ofbot
: Me, was considerate, prudent, and uniform. Hewas
I the friend of the widow and orphans, and his
whole soul was always open to tbe wants of the
distressed and the afflicted, bestowing favors oti
every hand, and to all charitable objects. It may
be said in truth, that lie had not an enemv on the
eaith, for such was his general character, that
wherever lie lived, lie created friends and made
no enemies. He las left an affectionate wife and
six promising children, and a large circle of friends,
to mourn over their loss. He was very much en
deared to his fatuity, as a tender husband, an in
dulgent parent, ami kind master, and generous
and benevolent to all his neighbors, Lriends and

few uiomeuts before lie expired, his countenace
was lighted up with a sereu and cheerful smile,
testifying to his family aud surrounding friends,
that he was goiug to that rest wbfcre troubles
cease and sorrows never come.
