CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL AUGUSTA. Monday Morning, Jan. 22. ‘•First it blew, and then it sneiv, and then it therv, and then it friz” was upon some occasion the humorous description of the weather by the inimitable Hood. What would be his account I of the weather here for the last three or four days we could not even imagine. For some days past it has been as warm as May, and gave avery promise of a premature spring, Until Sat urday, when it ble tv, (a gentle but cooling breeze) a.id yesterday about ten o’clock, after a consid erable fall of rain it commenced snewing and thewing, and so continued all day, and until our paper went to press last night. This morning we presume it will be friz. Within the last week we have had the temperature of all the sea sons, except mid-summer. From Canada wc have nothing further of in terest. The patriots arc still in possession of Navy Island, and the royalists have determined not to attack them there. The patriots it is said will attempt a larding on the Canada side in a few days. my reference to the letter of our Correspondent at Washington, it will be perceived that the Mis sissippi contested election, now before Congress, has given rise to a very unpleasant controversy between Mr. Gholson of Miss, and Mr. Wise of Va. The former gentleman was certainty the aggressor, and although Mr. Wise is much abus ed by the partizans of Van Duron on all occa sions, as a violent man, yet wc believe he is much more sinned against than sinning. SrBAMEU Da at ex. —The Savannah Georgian of Friday Morning says:—“Captain Nock, of the steamer Florida, arrived here yesterday morn ing from Drunswick, reports that he passed the steamer Darien about 12 o’clock M. on Wednes. day, at which time she was lying aground at the mouth of Bear Island Creek. A sloop was along side, taking out cotton. The forward deck cf the Darien. had the appearance of being about five feel under water. The afterpart of the main deck appeared out of water. It 'was then near high water. Capt. N. met the Santee, in St. Catherine’s Sound about 11 o’clock of same day proceeding on her voyage, but did not speak her, as he knew nothing of the accident. “The sloop Othello, Captain Booth, arrived last evening, (since the above was written,) with 109 bales cotton from the boat, which remains in tbe same conditon.” The Richmond Whig says: —Abijall Mann who gained quite an enviable reputation in Con gresses now a member of the New York Legis lature, and leader of the Destructives. He avows his determination tO destroy the creatures of his own hands. He stands recorded as having vo ted fir more than forty bank charters, not one of which shall now stand, if his voice can avail anything. Resumption of Specie Payments, —The New York Gazette of Tuesday s?ys “The meeting of bank officers on Satuiday evening last, was on t\e subject of a resumJi’pcU Os specie payments, and adjourned over to Saturday next. It is in contemplation to appoint a committee to proceed to Philadelphia and ascertain from the banks there when they will be ready, and to invite them to name a day for a generct resumption; but it is understood that if the Philadelphia banks should refuse to fix upon some definite lime, the banks in this city will make immediate arrangements to resume without their co-operation. - ’ IfUO.H, OUK f'ORRBSPONPFKT.] j WASHINGTON, Jan. 10,1838. The report of the Committee on Elections, on the claims of Messrs. Prcstiss and Word of Mis sissippi, was tal'.eri tip for consideration in the House to-day; and in the couysfe of the debate, a personal "scene" ln winch Mr. Gholson, one of the sitting members, and Mr. Wise were the actors, that produced great excitement and confusion in the Hail. Mr. BRONSOff oi"New York offered a reso lution to the effect that Messrs. Prentiss gnd Word are not members of the 25th Copgress; and are not entitled to seats in the House ac such. A loose and desqjtory debate too [dace on I hie proposition, and before any decision was come to, Mr. Wise offered another resolution for per mitting the claimants to occupy seals within the bar, during the discussion of their application, and to take part in it; which after a shell debate was adopted, and seals were accordingly assigned to Messrs. Prentiss and Word. Mr. HOWARD of Md. then presented a writ ten paper from Mr. Claiborne, one of the sitting members, who is detained as home by sickness, presenting an argument in behalf of himself and his colleague. It was read : Mr. Howard inti mated a wish that it might be printed, on the principle of equality; as a printed statement ema nating from Mr. Prentiss, was in possession of members. Mr. WISE opposed the motion; and in the course of his remarks intimated that the state ment of the claimants was printed, nut by order of the Housa, but at the piivate expense of those gentlemen, and be urged, therefore, that the prin ciple of equality did not require the printing of Mr. Claiborne’s statement. So far, a 1 ! went on Vjuietly. No one, I presume, imagined that t Mr. Wise made an imputation of any sordid motive to the sitting members. But Mr. GHOLSON thought fit to make a most angry speech. He, and bis colleague, he said, were not before the House asking its charily for printing their paper; and then turning to Mr. Wise, he added, the remarks of Ihe member from Virginia, are unworthy of a member of this House. “Order!” “Order!” was shouted on all sides. In the midst of the din, Mr. Wise rose, and turn ing his eyes upon Gholson, said in 3 clear, firm tones, “If ignorance and impudence can make a blackguard, then, (he added, pointing his linger to Gholson,) there is one !” None hut a .cowardly scoundrel would make ——————— 1 ——-+• r*. ■ . ' inch a remark,” retorted Mr. Gholson. The Chair, and several menders in parts of the Hall, now interposafamPirdM^^H^ored. The motion to print tws then eIUIP Col. DAWSON of tnWtgia, offered a resolu tion for- repairing Messrs. Wise and Gholson, who had uttered words liable to the censure of the House, because in violation of its rules, to make submission to the House. The resolution was, after a short debate, laid on the table on motion of Mr. Glascock. Mr. MERGER then offered another resolution to the elfect that Messrs. Wise and Gholson he required to declare in their places, that they. Will not further prosecute the quarrel which arose be tween them. On this a debate of some length arose; and without cothing to any decision, the House ad journed. In the Senate, the Resolutions from the Legis lature of Vermont, which were, so frequently re ferred to during the debate on Mr. Calhoun’s res olutions, were presented : and after a short de bate they were received by a vote of 26 to 12. , 'ljhe Sub-Treasury Bill was,reported, as I in formed you it would be, ami made the order of the day for Tuesday next. M. WASHINGTON, Jan. 17, 1838. To-day the House resumed the consideration of the following resolution, as a question of priv ilege pending upon the adjournment yesterday. “Unsolved , That Messrs. Gholson and Wise, membe-s of the House, between whom warm words have passed in debate, he required by the Speaker to declare in their places, that they will not prosecute further the quarrel which has arisen thlit, .day between them.” Mr. PATTON said he had yesterday voted against laying this resolution on the table', hut ho was soon satisfied that its further agitation could do no good. He therefore moved to lay it on the table. Mr. MERCER wished the gentleman to with draw the motion for the present, as he wished to make some suggestions Mr. PATTON declined, ns he wished, he said, to avoid debate on the subject. Mr. MERCER asked the yeas and nays, and they werc yrdcred, and were yeas 126, nays Cl. So the resolution was laid on the table. On motion of Mr. CAMI3RELENG, the Com mittee of the whole was discharged from the fur ther consideration of the hill making appropria tion for the suppression of Indian hostilities, and (he same was recommitted to the Committee on Ways and Means. At one o’clock the House resumed the order of the day, which was the report ott the Committee on Elections, in relation to the Mississippi Elec tion. The qaeofibn btqrig oh the following reso lution offered by Mr. Bronson : "Resolved, That Messrs S. fj. Prentiss and T. J. Word, are not members of the 251 h Con gress, and are not entitled to scats in this House as such.” Mr. 15ELI, moved to amend the resolution by substituting a provision that tho resolution of the House, declaring Messrs. GholsUii And. Claiborne to have been ejected as members of,fhe 55th Con gress, having been agreed to without a knowledge of all the facts necessary to a proper consideration of the case, he rescinded; and that Messrs. Pren tiss and Word, having been duly elected as mem hersof the 25th Congress, are entitled to their scats as such. Messrs. Prentiss and Word, the applicants, having taken their scats within the bar, the Speak er announced to them, that they were now at liberty to address the House in support nf their application. Mr. S. S. PRENTISS, having taken[a con venient position for that purpose, addressed the House at length on the tilcrits of the question. After speaking two hours Mr Prentiss yielded to a motion of adjournment, without concluding his argument. Tho Hnqsb adjourned. ~, In the Senate HK Webster oflcred a resolu tion requiring the Secretary of the Treasury to communicate to tho Senate, with as little delay as possible, whether any, and if so, what amount of the fishing bounties and revolutionary pep slops had bccli paid by the collector of Boston in notes of the Commonwealth Bank, and by what authority. ,-.i - ~ Also, whether any of the pubitc thoney was now deposited in said hank, and to what amount, and at what time such deposits* had been made. Mr.WEBSTERcxpU.lncd that he had been in duced to institute this inquiry not from any news paper rumor or authority, but lie had received letters requesting Him to give his attention to tho subject, which were of most unquestionable au thority, which stated the amount of bounties and claimes to have been paid to bo very large—that they were mostly paid in bills of this hank, of which 100 dollars worth would not now buy a loaf of bread. This loss fell heavily on a class of poor enterprising fishermen. That many of those persons had applied for payment in cither gold or silver, or Trersury notes, but were told by the disbursing officer that they must take checks on the Commonwealth olfice or take no'hing. Mr. HUBBARD objected to the resolution, on the ground that it reflected by implication on lire conduct of the Seprcthfy of the Treasury. Mr. BAYARD inquired ifhhe collector ofßos ton was a director of, or any way concerned in the offices of the Bank in question. Mr. WEBSTER was not aware he was, hut was certain that the Deputy Collector, as well as the District Attorney, were both Directors of the Institution. Mr. HUBBARD asserted that the Secretary had given no directions relative to the manner in which the payment should be made. Nor was the Collector a Director of, or in any way con cerned in the offices of the Bank. On motion of Mr. BUCHANAN, the hill pro viding for the more elfcclual observance of our neutral relations was taken qp, and, after a short discussion, was, without further amendment, passed to be engrossed. M. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18th, 1838. In the Senate, to day, after tho usual morning bdsineSs, • Mr. PRESTON, rose, and expressed his sur prise that the vote upon appointing Tuesday week for the consideration of the new Sub-Treas ury Bill, had been reconsidered yesterday in the absence of a number of Senators, and that the day fixed upon was Titsday next. He mentioned tho fact that the deliberate decision of a majority of the Senate had been reversed by a minority; and felt it a duly now to move to reconsider tiie last vote, and restore the original order. Tito Chair (which was temporarily occupied by Mr. Websler) said such a motion would the out of order; hut that the Senator might move to rescind the order for Tuesday next. , Mr. KING, ot Alabama, said there was no in tention to take ad antage of tho absence of those who wauled a longer time for consideration; but that it was considered important to act early on j the Bill. Mr. PRESTON, said he made no imputation on the ftiends of the Administration o. a design to take advantage of himself and his friends, but yet the fact was that there were Senators enough within call to have reversed the decision of yes terday. He now uiged I lie propriety of ascertaining It the true sens? ol the Senate on this point. Thy a Hill was looked to as the peculiar and oagrosing u occupation ol Jongress, during the present sea- s many Senators had made their arrange- with reference t > it, and with a view to present ft the time fist appointed. * Mr. RIVES, spoke with great warmth of the disposition that had been manifested to precipi tate this irteasore fly'premature action. He wish ed to know whether Senators were really pre pared to force the measure, now that dilltrent f gentlemen avowed they would not he ready to ' go into the discussion, it was vain to talk of the measure as being the same as the Hill of last 1 jjession. There were several additional provis vflijms of great importance. He did not believe 4 the WHwould be put in such a shape as would command his support; but bo wished time for ex amination and reflection; and for vfewinp tfid matter under the lights that might be shod upon it by practical men. He regretted to perceive such a disposition to cram the measure down the throats of those opposed to it. It should not bo pushpd upon him. Ho fell no obligation to lake it or any other measure upon authority. Mr. CLAY too protested against such haste ■ in pushing forward this pernicious measure— which, in his opinion was worse than any that had been passed upon the peopb—worse than the Alien and Sedition Haws, Why, ho asked, has it hoen brought forward in this body?— Why, is it not urged in the popular branch that is surcharged with the feelings of the people on the subject? If it was lb be urged, he hoped, time would he allowed for tho consideration of it. Mr. CALHOUN opposed any further post ponement. He contended that lime enough was allowed; and if on Tuesday next any member wished more, and ho thought the request reason able, it might he then-acceded to. The Senators opposing, ho said, might go to their studies, and like tho tills, and investigate them in the time allowed. Mr. CRITTENDEN commented with some warmth on the want of courtesy exhibited in re fusing or opposing the indulgence that was ask ed tor; and urged the propriety of the Senate re storing its original older. Mr. HROWN, and Mr. WALKER supported the ground taken by Mr. Calhoun Mr. ROANE moved to reconsider the vote of yesterday ; and it being decided to bo in order, the question was put; and carried in the allirma tivo Ayes 35 Nays 21. The question was then put on postponing the bill of Tuesday and car ried in the affirmative. When this hill comes up the debates will he full of intoielt. It will probably ho attacked in detail at the outset. The Hill for compelling the observance of our neutral obligations was then taken up and passed. In the House to-day lire Mississippi Election case was taken tip ; ami Mr. PRENTISS proceeded in his argument in behalf of himself, and his colleague, liefore he had linislted lt;e argument, the House ad journed. M. THE HUNIiLB V CASE. ( Continued.) Jmalhan Parish , Continued —I asked him a number ol questions; Itcsatd ins father’s name was Win. 1). Buukley, that the I), stood Tor Daniel; lie said the T. in ins own name stood for Lewis, and repeated tile answer. I>e did not recollect whether his lather owned any’ plantation in Jones, or not, lie said lie recol lected whore Squire Hillnioslea in irrieil his mothet’—ho did not know, but thought Hint at the breaking up of the estate, they fatten, od some hogs? lie did not know how far, the hog-pen stood from tire house, but said lie could go to the place. He was asked if lie recollected going to the plantation and shoot ing birds there, at Christinas, with Esquire Pofllmgslea, a ttegro.and another person, and who was that person—who shot—and what were the circumstances. He did not recol lect who shot, when askod whether they wore patrnig s, tlovec, or blackbirds; lie said they were pigeons. I was lit “person who shot— the gun kicked me, and threw me flit on my track, and flew over my head. J. L. H was present on this occasion, and prisoner could not tell mo any thing aboql it—they were blackbirds, and sixty-two were killed. J. L. B. was then probably between tea and t.ilr teen years old. I examined prisoner anil foil of him, and told him 1 hud written out several questions and evidence, aid told him it lie could answer them he could convince mo that he was J. L. B. I then asked him if he ever wont to school in Mtlledgeville, Eton ton, Monticello, or either of them. He said it appeared to him that, lie had went to school in Eatonton —he forgot the name of his teach er and the person he boarded with; he did not recollect wether any person went to school with him from Clinton or Jones county; he did not recollect the time of day nor the cir cumstances attending his leaving Eatonton; and in the time, for a minute or two, death stared two of the company in the lace, and J. L. B was one of them; J. E. H- went to school in Eatonton to Alonzo Church, and Jefferson Siiitter wen' to school with him, and boarded with J- L. B. at Church’s, six months; I then went and boarded them at Abner Vensoy’s, six months more. I went after both the boys, and when we started from there the sun was about an hour high, in the evening; we tra velled by star-light, and reached Low’s mills, on Coder Creek, about 11. o’clock at niglil\, in driving at night we struck a stump, and upset, J. L. B. being in the gig, wrapped up in a cloak; some negroes and Mr. Lowe came to our assistance, and we went opposite to the house and encamped. Prisoner recollec ted none of these circumstances, and could not tell a single occurrence. He has never answered any of my questions. Mrs. Low ther lias no interest in the property claimed by prisoner; t heard that.l L B was confuted jn jail in Augusta; by the assistance of Mus uruve and the Carrs, 1 got him out of jail, by mvinga bond of 814,01)0 for his appearance —I have heard nothing more of the case; have understood that it was nolle pros’d, ac l cording to previous agreement. Tins crime was for going into a lady’s ro nn in Augusta. J LB insisted on having Skitter’s horse, ind he took him, a.?d Slalter pursued him to Sandersville, brought him track, and 1 pur. chased the horse. lit tard nothing of a pro secution about it. 11 e demanded the money, and personated J I. B in Jones county, J L B’s lino r was bt oft’at the Jasper camp meeting, and Mrs. Liwther clipped off the l, ont >; it was the middle linger of tho left hand, aid no nail was left on it. Toe prison er has lost no finger, J L B had light hair, yellow eyes, Ins nose rati,er short, ;j|ld ,a litfje turned up, his upper lip inclined to turnup, lull and round t ree full jaws, a dimple in the chin, large hips, large Hugos,ami 1 irge legs, a full body, slim round me waist, he had a scar, 1 thing "jm the right underside of the neck, under the jaw bone, which grew up in a ridge; there was a scar right and be o.v the knee-pan, I think on the left leg, immediately across ilia leg. Interrogated prisoner in re g ird to some occurrence about my hsuso—bo soul, pointing to a widow in my dining room,if that widow could apeak, it would (ell volumes, die would nut tell me any tiling else. There. wHk n noise in my house, in one of the rooms, among some ladies,and if Uunkley went in he' must have done in a different window from, the one pointed out by prisoner. If ho had gone in at the window he pointed out, lie could not have got up stairs. If any one; went up stairs, it must have been by a . slick \ of wood, leaning in the corner. I wont at the nrfse up stairs, but found nobody. certain letters were exhibited to which he proved to be in the hand writing ot J. L. 13., which were read ] , | I required of prisoner respecting a trip to New York; I sent J L U .$lOO, and gave di rections how to get home, by arrangements with Messrs. Foumn, Musgrove and .Wet more, ho came home. Prisoner said he had been to New York, but I could never draw him out upon these circumstances. He said, 1 think, that he came to Charleston from New York He said ho came out in a ship ol different name from the Cotton Plant; but don’t recollect, what iiamo he culled the ship; prisoner could tell mu nothing about the perilous condition ol .tlje vessel. . Cross-examined. —Prisoner nail been some two or three weeks in this county before ho demanded ofmc his money; 1 think he came i«>Clinton in September; he wascalled 15 ink ley at that time; 1 came home with J 1, H from Augusta to Clinton we were to keep him away from Augusta-—I did not advise bin 1 ! to leave the Slate, he said he would go to Now Orleans —lie said there was a gentleman in pr son there who said he could make a for lime bv piracy and counterfeiting, but he spur ned the dua of making a living in such ways'. Ido not recollect at _what lime the difficul ty occurred about his uncles I'pirhe—-the diffi culty occurred m Augusta, and he left Augus ta 1 think in April. 1 never heard hia uncle speak of prosecuting him. 3 do not recollect how long alter he wont away, that 1 heard he was dead; ! think the first time that I heard that he was alive was in 1880 or ’J3L—I heard prev ous to this, that he was dead. In 18132, when I was paying over the money to William I), Uunkley, I said Jesse might be alive. I look a bond, and Samuel I,outlier security, from Win. U. Ilnnkley, When t settled with him. He did not leave school in Eatonton till 1 took him away. I do not know a family of Lewises Unit live near the Lucases. I do not know where prisoner was arrested, except by hearsay—l saw him at Lawsee’s, in 13 hb coun'y, on my way to Stewart, and on my return he had been arrested. When J 1,13 went away, he said he would go to Tcniiefisec, and thence to New Orleans, and that he would he back the day before ho was of age. 1 did not see John Todd when he was here two or three years ago, at least 1 do not recollect it. I did not gb to Macon to see prisoner; I have had one or two short interviews, with the pri soner alone. J L 13 was quite a dissipated young man when he left—so from report lo f Die. / had a great deal of trouble about him; ' prisoner was sober whenever 1 conversed with him, 1 have seen him several limes apparent ly intoxicated: Bob Uunkley never gave me any oescninunijn'iliis man; lie said he thought he was taller than Jesse; he gave me no other description Os him - he said that the man that cnllo.l nimsui j l. i) m mo not ais brother. He exiirnmed by Stale—The estate of Win. I). Uunkley is fully able to respond for any amount that J. L. 13 might claim in my hands; I led myself perfectly safe from all loss. At the time of ray settlement with Wtn. D. Uiink ley, Maj. Smith fully concurred in the rumor and bpiiuf that J. L. 13. was dead. Mr. Paljper cKmohjerc a fbw weeks before prisoner came hero, Mr. Palmer oll'erea meri power of ultor ' noy purporting lo be made by Jesse J,. Uunkley, and authorizing him lo receive J L, ft’s estate coming from his father and his brother Wm L). The name of Uunkley in the power, was spelt IJunkly, end llie signature, liunklay; in the power (he name of William had been erased, and the name of Hubert inserted above with a pencil; I had another interview with Mr Palmer, and had the power of attorney a second lime in my hand; I saw it again, t.io third time, ami where William and Hubert had been written in the power, was entirely torn out and gone; the power of attorney, I think purported to have been written some where in Arkansaw—l think in H. lona. The signature to the power was a scribbling hand, difficult to bo made out—the body of it elegantly written. lUib Witness. James Freeman —Was acquainted with J L 15 three or four years beiore ho left here; prisoner does not an swer the description of J L 13. lie J L 13, was of a full round face, raflicr swarthy complexion.
