OUR CORRESPONDENT.] V WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, 1838. T us Sur.Theisurt Bill came up in the Senate to day, ami Mr. Rives proposed a substi, lute for the whole measure. It is a project to ■ eorganize the Stale Hank eleposile system, with important improvements upon the ono established by the act sf 1836. The following is a general outline of its ptovtsions. That the number of Banks selected for the safe keeping of the public money shall not exceed twenty five, to be chosen from among the most solid and re sponsible Banks; and their locality to bo deter mined purely with rcfroace to the wants and condition of the Treasury. That no bank should be selected or employed that should not promptly pay demands upon ’them m specie, nor without allowing such investigation of their condition as (he secretary of the Treasury might require. That if the selection should he made during the sesskjfi of Congress, they should be appointed by a joint resolution of the (wo houses; and if during the recess, they should be promptly sub. milled to Congress for their approbation or tejeclion, at the commencement of the next en suing session. That such Deposits Bank should exhibit to the Secretary of the Treasury as often os he might require, not exceeding once a week, a statement of the condition of their business; and give to the Secretary and Treasurer a weekly statement of their accounts with other banks; provided they should not be required to exhibit private accounts with private individual.-. That they should pay ill Treasury checks, Ac. in specie. That they iliuulc '-auefer .ha public funds and dialriliuta them -a required, without charge to the go’ernnaen' That they should perform alt duties heretofore performed by the late Dank of the United State* and the late deposite banks. That it should be the duty of the secretary of the Treasury to require any bank selected to give sufficient collateral and additional security for the safe keeping of the public money in thei r possession. That before 'ho Secretary of the Treasury should ntak ß al) y contract on this subject, on behalf of 'he United States, he should obtain satisfactory assurance that the duties required of tho hanks by this bill would be fullfiled. That hanks selected and appointed by Con gress should not be discontinued as deposite banks, except they should fail to perform the duties required by the hill, or refuse to pay their notes in specie; or except the Secretary of the Treasury should have reason to heliovo them unsafe depositories, in which casu he should, promptly report to Congress tho facts of the case and tho reason (or such discontinuance. That it should he the duty of tlie deposite banks to make all settlements with the banks in their vicinity with which they have acconuis once a week,promptly pay their balances in specie, and endeavor to chock all tendency to over issues or to the misoundness of the currency. That it should he the duly of the Treasury to induce the deposite hanks to enter into mutual agreements to take the notes of each other, and to redeem them in specie, i's required. That the revenues of the United Slates of all kinds should he collected and received in gold and silver, in treasury notes, or the notes of the specie paying banks. , That in one year from the passage of this hill, the notes of no hank should he received, which should continue to issue notes of less than §!>, and in two years less than $10; provided that the notes of no banks should he received, that would not pass as specie to the credit of tho government, nor unless they should resume specie payments before July 1838. That the government should not be prevented by this hill front receiving any kind of land scrip now receivable by law. That tho &ccretaiy of the Treasury should make no discrimination in funds receivable by government, except as provided for by this bill. That it should bo the duly of the Secretary ot tho Treasury to report to Congress at tho com mencement of each session, a statement of (ho number and means of the banks employed us depositories, theft condition, the amount of money deposited in each, and the other particu lars which might enable congress to ascertain the safely of the ptshlie money. This substitute was ordered to he printed, and the whole suhjeetpostponed till Monday next. Tho House was chiedy engaged in the Mis sissippi election case. y '"•Mr. HOWARD’S proposition being under consideration, Mr. Prentiss made a few rotiiarf.s 1.*,; I, . in addition to those he made yesterday, in reply to those gentlemen who had supported the pro position of Mr. Howard, He drew a parallel between the Mississippi election in July and that of Arkansas at the same lime, and between the action of the people of those Slates severally in relation to those elections. Whence he dedu ced that, if the Arkansas election were good’, and the scat he now properly filled by the sitting representative from that state, then the Nov. election in Mississippi was also good as a matter of course. The house having decided that the July election in Mississippi was not good, have also decided (bat the parallel election in Arkan sas was not good. Then the representative f.oin Arkansas, if he holds his seat under that elec tion, must of course yield like the silling mem bers from Mississippi to this judgment, just ex. pressed, of the House. If, however, ho holds his seat under tho October election, then, if it be the judgment of the House that his scat be properly filled, >t follows, that under the Mississippi No vember election, he (Mr. Prentiss) and his col league, have the same right to siias members of the 25th Congress. Mr. YELL replied, and stated that be held his scat under the July election, still believing it to have been good, notwithstanding the decision of the House in relation to the July (Mississippi) election, which ho believed was contrary to tho spirit of the Constitution. Mr. PATTON, of Virginia, spoke in opposi tion to the amendment, which he characterised as entirely new, and was insisting on tho extra ordinary fact, that through the discussion on tho subject both during the called session and the present, the proposition of sending hack tho election tn tho people of Mississippi had never beenihovedj when Mr. Legare stated that he had himself brought forward such a proposal. Mr. HOWARD denied that hi« proposition was new, tut, on the contrary! was only originally prepared by Mr. Bronson. Mr. PATTdN resumed and replied to the speech of his colledgue, (Mr. Mason, who briefly explained ) concluding, both on legal and politi cal grounds, that tile decision of the House in favor of Messrs. Claiborne and Gholson, had no effect on the validity of tho second election, and therefore that the claim of Messrs. Prentiss and Word were valid, and they entitled to their seats. Mr. LEGARE followed on the other side, and insisted tbal the decision by Congress in the case of Gholson and Claiborne bound all parties as the law of the land. Several questions were put to him by Wise, Mr. Menifee,and Mr. Prentiss, on different points he bad assumed, to which ho replied. Mr. PREN’IISS mado some explanation as to the number of votes given for himselt and his colleague at the election in July. Mr. BIDDLE next obtained the floor, and insisted on the right of the claiming members, which ho supported by various supposed oioes ■ : i r'ay of illustration , ; When he had concluded. Me MKNIfhE i obtained the floor, and intimating a desire \ address the House on the subject, moved that the House adjourn. (It was now half past 4 o'clock.) On this motion Mr. CUSHMAN demanded the yeas and nays, which were ordered; and being taken, resulted in the negative, yeas 90- nay a 113, Mr. MENNIPEE then proceeded and went into a rqdy, at length to the argument of Mr. Legaro and Mr. Mason, and insisted that under the laws and constitution the election in Nov was valid, and its result to he recognized as the voice of the people ol Mississippi. When Mr. M. concluded it was past the hour of five o’clock. On motion of Mr. BELL, after an appeal to the house against forcing the question to night, wishing himself, also, to say something upon it, frith the understanding that the subject shall be definitely acted upon to morrow. The house adjourned. M. [communicated.] Tribute to the Memory of Dr. Physic. At a meeting of the Faculty and Students of Medical College of Georgia fjr manifesting their high respect for the late Dr. Piiilif Binu Put stc, Dr. Mi lon Antony was called to the Chair, and Ur. George M. Newton appointed Secretary. On motion of Dr. Paul F. Eve, the Chairman appointed Dr. Paul [F. Eve, Alexander Cun ningham, Charles Davis, George M. Newton, and William Alfricnd, a committee to draw up resolutions suitable for the occasion. After a few momenta the Committee made through tlielV Chairman, Dr. Paul F. Eve, the : I 1 i following report: The Faculty and Students of the Medical College of Georgia having heard, with the deep est regret, of the death of the venerable Dr. Philip syhg Physic, feel themselves called upon to give public expression of their sorrow at this afflicting dispensation of Divine providence. Truly has a great man fallen in our profession. 6ne who had, by bis zeal, talents and arduous devotion to our science, secured ihc entire confi dence of the American public ; and whose teach ings and signal improvements in Surgery, can never he forgotten by bis numerous pupils in every State and Territory ol our country. He was associated with Kush, Shippen, and Wistar, in establishing the first Medical School on this side of the A lanlic—himself a pupil of, the celebrated John Hunter, ancl by his fame as a Surgeon, he attracted patients from all parts of our Union. If Dr. Kush was the father of American Med f icino, Dr. Physic is no less entitled to the appel lation of the father of American Surgery.— Appreciating then the great loss which has been sustained in the death df our venerable Father, I Dr. Philip Syng Physic, late of Philadelphia, it therefore SResolve </, That we deeply sympathise with / the community at large, mingle our sorrow with our professional brethren throughout the United States, and offer our sincere condolence to his distressed family. Resolved, That as a tribute of respect for the worth and character of the deceased, we will wear the usual hedge of mourning for the space of thirty days. Resolved, That we respectfully request that the next number of the Southern Medical and Surgical Journal bo issued in mourning. Resolved, That the Secretaiy transmit a copy of the proceedings of this meeting, signed by ’ himself and the Chairman, to the family of the deceased, and to the Editor of the Sou'hern Medical and Surgical Journal, and the Editors of each of our city papers. On motion of Dr. P. r. Evo, the report was unanimously adopted,— ' On motion of D. Dugas, the meeting adji .mad. MILTON ANTONY, Chainmr Geohoe M. Newton, Secretary. Fire.—On Tuesday night last, about 9 o’clock, the house of Mr. John Marlin, in the north western part of the city, was discovered to be on fire, and was entirely consumed, with the furniture in the upper story. That in the lower Uory was removed. The fire is believed : to ho the result of accident, and must have been communicated near the roof, as it was first dis covered when breaking though the shingles. The house being detached from nil other buddings and the weather calm, only prevented the fire from i spreading; although the Engines were promptly on Ihc ground, they could not procure sufficient water to put them in operation.—.l/ aeon Jiles, Fnig.—On Saturday afternoon the alarm of fire was caused by the roof, of a house oc cupied by Mr. Dominick O’Byrne, corner of Bay and West Broad streets, being on fire, where a stove pipe penetrated the shingles. It was fortunately discovered before it hat} made much progress, and was, therefore, scon arrested by our firemen and citizens.

At an unusually large and respectable moc ling of the Democratic CititeiisofPipe Ward convened in pursuance of public notice on Friday Evening, the sth mat., at Garbin’* long room, * Pine Ward Hotel.” Francis Timmins, Esq was called to {the Chair, and B. Ginnily, Esq. was appointed Secretary; The following report was made by the Committee of Observation and Vigilance; REPORT. The Committee of Observation and Vigil ance, appointed by the meeting of Hie Demo crntic milieus of Pine Ward, held on the I3th day ofNovonTuw, s*Jh r have convened tins meeting lor the purpose of laying before their fellow citizens the result of tneir observations and the information they have gathered upon the subjects to which their vigilant attention was directed; The proceedings of the meeting referred to, must be fresh m the recollection of those who were prcaei t, because of its being the largest meeting of the parly held in this ward for many years past, ami because the harmo ny of that meeting was disturbed by six or Se van of the faction, whose fierce and obstinate domination has heretofore prostrated the party throughout the Slate; and whose furi ous struggles for ascendancy now, , continue this work°of destruction and ruin to democ racy. „ , The few disturbers of our political peace referred upon the evening we last met, mi ted in the organisation of the meeting, offered several resolutions and discussed them; and remained until the election for delegates had been gone into, when they withdrew, pro claimin''their deVunninaliun not to abide by the rroeftedingo of the meeting, and immedi ately left the bowse, Tina siep was the more affronting, as it was preceded by a deliberate canvass, which they had made ul the legality „f every voter present: ami was followed by a publication in “ The Pennsylvanian” the next day, of themselves as delegates under the pre ' tended authority ot a meeting ot which one ol them was styled Chairman, and another one as the Secretary, wheieas no such meeting was held, nor at any time aferwards even by hemselves was it pretended to have been ticlu* * The revolting mockery is over,and the dul cgaics pledged and bound to carry out the alarming schemes of this desperate cabal of ■ pnliticalga'neslerp. Some man strongly im- witft the pernicious and prevailing plots will be nominated by the 4'lupl March Convention. The democracy of The 1 State will entertain no respect or confidence in such a candidate, and ho will be defta -1 ted. •• i . i It was nrdentlyjjojied.tbat the party would have roused up, itnu open Hi'# inqrortant oc casion elected sound and honest men. But the lorn''curies of abuses the respectable mem bers oUhe party have suffered whenever they have come out, from those political vagrants, has discouraged and disgusted some two or three thousand democratic volera in this city, who have tor several years past withheld their suffrages and that the same disposition has conirnlcd tens of thousands of votes through out the Slates. This resolution will not probably be lon ger adhered to tor self delcnce will impel ve ry many to range themselves with those who have gone over to the opposition, and an in voluntary repugnance to ll.c profligate and disastrous measures of the general govern inert, will oblige every man |wlio las a ves tige of intelligence or honor to vole down these reckless adventurers for spoils and of fice. The period seems to have arrived when nil the old land marks of oil parties have been lost sight of in u struggle (by the most abaii (toned and depraved renegades of the coun try,) on the one side for plunder, and an in dignant resistance by the great mass of the country on the other side, to this impudent grasp for power and speculation. 'The principles advocated and the objects avowed by the prevailing party, would pros!- rate all the cherished institutions of the con federacy, uproot the foundations of our nation al currency, rob the people ul 1 tici r bard earn ings, and place over them a band of idlers sycophants and rogues. National economy, republican simplicity, and rotation in office, are hypocritically pro. fessed, and practically scoffed at —The indus try of the country is libelled by ihp false ami affronting charge of having Jirodticed all the disasters of the present lime. And after a profound fleaeo ot mo/« than twenty years, amidst continued, unexampled and successful prosperity, we are suddenly brought to the verge of ruin by the wild and shameless ex periment of our rulers, and impudently ’.stinted with authors of our own destruction. This insolent and insulting s ander has . been recently carried out by a spirit of Malevolence, 100 broad and gross for tolera tion. The national government having by a senes of frauds and violence despoih d the country of its only means of prosperity, a sound currency, avails itself, tnrough medium of an executive message to Cod gross, to abuse and vilhly in unmeasured terms the .only remaining currency of the nation which is at par ten miles from its place ot payment, and to recommend wlmt is called a sub-treasury system; but wlncn in fact, is a proposal to.surrender the national exchequer to a band of unlicensed political vsgbonds, alike destitute of character, remorse or shame. Odious and revolting as is this series of in sults, outrages and frauds upon the people, Vhcre arc not wanting here and elsewhere i be Ta)?andoiicd miscreants who, while they hold j public meetings at which they fulminate their I denunciation of oil Ranks, and slavishly eu- I dorse and re-echo the scandalous and die : graceful measures of a corrupt administration, arc themselves hourly engaged in foul con spiracies for del..ding the community with millions of spurious paper currency, under I t!;t fraudulent and illegal cover of the most , detestable St unblushing, u—o horiztd corpo ' ’Elions c jrwi liic \ ~ * * : ■ ■ I Ins t. taint outliut t 1 *ior: cf t T .

No hope can be entertained for relief hut in that energy and action of the people which must speedily overtake and disarm those open insurrections and flagrant violators ot law and public justice throughout the Union. To this deliverance we confidently look, and solemnly conjure our democratic breth* ren throughout the State to yield their best efforts and their united strength for its accom plishment.

The following resolutions were then ofler cd ami unanimously adopted: Resolved, Thaf we hold the conduct of this vile and corrupt faction, c»l\ing themselves democrats in this city, for the division, dls. traction and ruin of their party; for their foul hypocricy and open contempt of the first prin. ciplcs of republicanism; and their gross fraud and outrage upon the pure democracy of Pine Ward, in the unjust abhorrence and detes’a tion which all men should be held who have neither honor, decorum or integrity. Resolved, That we do most fully approve of,and cordially adopt the views presented by the foregoing report; that the thanks of the meeting are hereby presented to the Com mittee of Observation and Vigilarce for their indefatigable and fearless discharge of duty; that they are desired to continue their labours, and to call .ipcelings of the Ward and make reports thereto as they shall think necessary.

Resolved, That from the obvious and gen eral conservative spirit which is abroad, and the strong continued and invaluable support it has derives! j'rom the strenuous exertions and loftv achievements of HENRY CLAY, of Kentucky, there is a proud and confident hope to be indulged, that this enlightened, and experienced statesman, and pure and distin guished patriot will in 18-tO, be called to ac , ccpt the highest service and the brightest r reward es his grateful country. Resolved, That the entire democracy of I should'support this stern and r incorruptible republican for the next /’resi. dent of the United Stales, let him be nomina ! ted by whatever party, and against all other ; candidates who mr.y be proposed for that office. _ i Resolved, That the proceedings of this I meeting be published in the American Senti nel, and Pennsylvanian, the Keystone, and the Globe, and that I ',OOO copies he printed in a pamphlet form, to be distributed under the direction of the Committee of Observation and Vigilance.
