Fir. < 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. From the New York Times. 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. From the Corespon.dearc of the Nat. Intel!igrneer. 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 is dead. The immediate cause of his death was ;ti violent fit of coughing, which produced strati •■gulation. Major General Scott has returned to the fron tier. There is no trouble there, however. The stock market to-day is very lively, and sales large. New banking institutions are spring ing up in every quarter. We shall have banks .enough, in number, this is clear, but how much profit so many can make remains to be seen.— i oinking people here begiu to think on this mat ter of free banking. NEW YORK Jannnry 30. 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 kiil al«o eider severely. All along the Hudson 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 dant one. &;igage FLORENCE, CA. Tuesday, February Is, (S3®. State Right# Tieket , FOR THE REDUCTION CONVENTION.

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.

THE GEORGIA MIRROR. Departed yesterday tnornir.g Steamer ARAB, with upwards of B#o square bales of cotton, prin cipally bought for the Law rence aud Lowell Mau *a{actories, Mass, reared in Stewart co. Ga. and acknowledged to be the best lot of cottou, and heaviest freight, that’has; ever |weut dowu the Chattahoochee. 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. CHATTAHOOCHEE. 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.

Thomas’ Regiment at Savannah, du ring the last War with Great Britain, anil after that (or many years filled the office of Judge of the Inferior Court of Montgomery county, the 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 “noblest works of God.” a strictly honest, just and upright man in all his dealings.

Died at his residence in Stewart county, on the 24th nit, after a long and protracted illness ctf 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 acquaintances. 1 died without a groan, and «y 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.
