Wednesday Morning, March 7.
Wo have watched with some interest, not
unmingled with amusement on the one hand and
regret on the other, the process by which State
llights’ men aro-convcrtcd to Van Burenism in
these latter days. The first symptoms are evi
denced by great restlessness on the part of the
patient (or penitent J produced by the incipient
stages of pure patriotic fever. From th is he is
relieved by abusing Clay and Webster and vari
ous other prominent Statesmen with whom he
has been acting in opposition to the administra
tion for years past and who have neither chang
ed their principles nor their position. After ar
riving at this stage of convalescence although he
is not able to comprehend mysteries of Van Bu
renisrn, yet he can “sit up” and read the Globe
or if an Editor quote from it ! He begins also
to discover that the interests of the North arc di
ametrically opposed and wholly inimical to those
of the Souih& that notwithstanding this fact,those
(title and highly patriotic Senators, Wright, Hub*
bard, Niles, Buchanan et id omne genus, are very
■very friendly to the interests of the South!! By
this'time he has arrived at that point in the faith,
at which he can talk or write, as the case may
be, about “Biddle and the Bank”—the Globe be_
comes something of a textbook for him, and the
Van B uren members o) Congress arc considered
quite Simon Pitres. By tfio time the next Pre
sidential election arrives, ho will no doubt be able
t o swallow down Van Buren himself‘with the
lights before him’,‘footsteps’and all, and consids
cr it a wholsomc dose—a regenerating and invi
gorating tonic!
Such cases, it is true, arc not very numerous
in Georgia, but in our Sister State of South Car
olina they are quite plentiful, and what is the
most mysterious,and yet the most universal fea
ture in the history of those which we have wit
nessed, is that they have all t Ceil produced by
the wonderful discovery made since the extra
session of Congress in September last, that Mr.
Van Buren has “come over” in Mr. Calhoun !

From the Frontier.
Dy the Fxpress Mail yesterday morning] we
received the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser slip
containing the following interesting intelligence
from the frontier, which is copied from the latest
Buffalo papers.
Attempted Invasion or Uppeii Canada.—
About the 13th of the mouth the mili.ary autho
rities here received information that an expedi
tion was on foot, designed to invade Canada.
Some developoments which were made qn.Salr
urday morning, led to the belief that an attempt
would he made that night, and the deputy mar
shals anil assistants were posted on the principal
avenues leading to the city.
About 8, P. M., it was reported that several
hundred men had assembled at Comstock’s tavern
on the lake shore, 8 miles from town, and Col.
Worth immediately started with the small lovee
of regulars and four volunteer companies under
his command, to intercept them. Wiien within
200 yards of Comstock’s, the road was found to
he barricaded by a rail fence and other obstacles.
These were almost immediately removed—the
cry was raised among those assembled at the ta
vern,‘the regulars are Coming !”—and these gal
lant invaders of Canada mostly fled. About 150
took to the ice on the lake with their teams.
They were pursued, but, having some 2 or 300
yards the start, were not overtaken. They,
however, left a howitzer and a swivel, which
were taken possession of.
The night was piercingly cold, and it was fear
ed that the men on the lake would, perish; hut
toward morning they began to return, some of
them frostbitten, and all heartily disgusted with
the enterprize they had undertaken. Not a man,
so far as can he ascertained, succcded in getting
into Canada. They were almost exclusively
from this country. They had no leaders, and
were illy provided with arms.
It is descrying of remark, that every fact elicit
ed in ihe examination of Major Chase, has been
confirmed to the letter.
Gen Scott. —We published, a few days since
some foul aspersions cast upon this gallant officer
by McNah and other members of the Provincial
Parliament. We learn that a spirited protest
against, and explicit denial of those charges, has
been voluntarily got up by citizens of this place,
formerly of Great Britain, in which justice is done
to the motives and exertions, both of Gen. -Scott
and Col. Worth.
Afru tET another, — On last Friday night
the arsenal at Batavia was broken open, and 75
kegs, containing about 1700 lbs. of powder, were
stolen.
By information which we have received trom
Detroit down to the 20 h, we learn that at that
date all yyas quiet. The ‘patriuts,’ so far from
being concentrated, and about to cross into Can
ada, wcic scattered along the lake shore in strag
gling parties, in an almost shoeless and starving
condition. Their situation is truly pitiable.'
Hank Meeting.
At a meeting of the banks of the city of New
York, held on the 28lh of February, 1838, the
committee on “the resumption of specie pay
ments” submitted the following report, in part,
viz :
In contemplation of the resumption of specie
payments, by the banks of the eiiy of New York,
. on or before the 10th of May next, and under the
uncertain contingency of a simultaneous or early
resumption by the banks of some of Ihe other
great commercial cities, it is incumbent on those
' of New York to adopt all the measures within the
limits of their resources, which may enable them
’ not only to resume, hut also to maintain specie
1 payments.
Much has already been done in that respect,
the result, as well of causes not under the control
1 of the hanks, as of positive action on their part.
> 1. It appears by the annual returns of the bank
commissioners, that, exclusively of the Dry Dock
’ Bank, which is not included in the return of this
year, the gross amount of all the liabilities of the
c ty hanks, payable on demand, deducting there.
- from the notes and checks of other banks held by
them, and the balances due to them by other
banks, amounted, on the Ist of January, 1836, to
1 £26,91 8,105 ;on Ihe Ist Janua-y, 1837, to £25,-
485.357 ; and on the Ist Jan- 1838, to £12,920,-
1 604—making a diraunition in the liabilities of
. more than twelve millions and a half during live
year 1837.
*• The detailed statement for tho Ist January,
1838, rendered by the several eily bunks to their
standing committee, shows u balance to their ere
dit of more than four millions due to them by the
banks out of the stale, anti of more than two mil
lions in account with all the banks out of the city.
Ample means, as also appears by those statements
have been provided hy tho country hanks of the
stale, tor the redemption of their notes, which
circulate in the city,
On a view of the whole subject, we may confi
dently say, that the relative strength of the banks
is, and at the. time of tho resumption will he,
greater than it was during the last two years, and
probably at any former time.
The full in the rate of foreign exchanges, now
considerably below par in our city paper, renders
it absolutely certain, that no exportation ofspe
eieern take place, and more than probable that a
considerable influx may be expected. This fact
now indisputable, must have an effect on public
opinion, and ought to remove tho apprehension
of those who may have believed our efforts for an
early resumption pie mature. Secure, as all (he
banks in the United Suues are, against foreign
demands, we are Justified in expecting their co
operation, If this is obtained, we do not perceive
any obstacle to an early, easy and safe resump
tion of specie payments,
A continued suspension, on the part of some
of the other great commercial cities, can atone
render the resumption on our part dillicull, and
may prvoent a free application of the legitimate
resources of New York. Yet, such is the favora
ble relative stale ol the balances between this and
the other parts cf the union, that, for the present,
at least, hut little need he apprehended from the
effect of natural causes. Os deliberate acts of
hostility, as there could he no motive Jin such,
there should be no apprehension oh cur part
We trust that, supported by the community of
this city, and hy the stale; the banks will lie able
to sunno tit all obstacles, and on or before till 1
month ol May,to resume uuditiaialnin specie pay
ments.
The preparatory measures on their part appear
to be, first, a reduction yf their liabilities out of
the stale, and drawing in their foreign funds;
second, an equalization of the balances due from
and to each other, and a mutual return of their
notes, which nay enable all to resuemo on an
equal fooling, and with equal safely; third, a
sufficient increase of their specie. On these
points tho committee will submit a separate re
port.

Beautiful Eulogy on Buuns. —At a late
celebration in Louisville, (Ky.) of the birth dpy
of Scotland’s favorite poet, Robert Burns, Mr.
Prentice, the celebrated punster of the Louisville
Journal, addressed tho company in tho following
happy strain.—
•'Britain and America assemble to pay their
heartfelt tribute of admiration to the memory
of Robert Burns, the unrivalled minstrel of Scot
land whose fame gathers freshness from the lapse
of years, and, like the ivy, flourishes greenly over
the lone prostration of the lovely and beautiful
•‘You all know the history of Burn-. The
world knows nhy heart. The Scottish boy, horn
in poverty and obscurity, won his way through
toils, privations and sufferings, to one of (he lofts
lest and brightest places in the history of litera
ture. lie was the child ol misfortune; and main
kind still wept ovet the sorrows of that gibed ge
nius, and will weep over them forever. He was
unfilled for the rough (rials of a world like this.
The lyre of his soul should have been fanned but
by the nipt of Eden, and lias given out its music
in a heavenly dime; and who can wonder that
its colds were jarred and almost broken, when
visited by the fierce winds, the swift lightnings,
and the blasting hurricanes of life. Like the
rainbow, his fame sprung up amidst clouds of
gloom; hut, like the rain-how, it was a reflection
of the sun and “its arch, though resting upon the
earth, was lost in heaven.”
•‘The genius of Burns was universal. In what
ever he attempted his success was perfect. His
talent was all powerful, whether he aimed at the
heart of the lover, to coll forth the loud or the
quiet miith of the votary of festivity, to kindle
the high and holy fervor of devotion, to pour his
grerlt enthusiasm for liberty into the soul of the
patriot, or to nerve the arm and send the lava tide
of vengeance along the veins of the warrior. Il
you pass through Scotland, you feell his mighty,
influence every where, like a universal presence
Ho has made that wild and romantic country em
phatically his own. His steps is upon her moun
tains, her braes and her glens—his image is
reflected from her blue lochs and her gushing
streams —anti his name is breathed hy her winds,
echoed hy her thunders, and chanted hy her brave
sons and beautiful daughters,”
A TREMENDOUS BLO W UP.
A curious affair occurred in this city a few
days since, which occasioned great consterna
tion in a very worthy family—and the knowl
edge of which may operate as a warning to
sundry light lingered individuals not to make
too free with their neighbor’s goods.
In a certain dwelling-house in (he north
part of this goodly city, resides two .Individuals
whom I shall designate as Mr. Wiggins and
Mr. Spriggins, and their families Now the
house being built originally with the express
design of accommodating two families, no
difficulty occurred in consequence—and Mr,
yvigginsand Mr. Sjiriggins, and Mrs. Sprig
gins and Mrs. Wiggins, and all the little Wig
gin’s and the little Spriggin’s lived a long
time beneath the same roof, as all goodly
neighbors should, on the most friendly and
amicable terms. But it so happened that the
stack of winter’s fuel consisting principally of
Mown east’ wood, of each family, was deposi
ted in llte only wood hou>e which was attach 1
ed to the dwelling. Mr. Wiggins, like a pro
vident husband, laid in an abundant quantity
forthe winter, provided il hart not been used
for purposes woich he had not anticipa ed
But Mr. Sprigging, either being stinted for
means, or for some other reason, which it is
not particularly important to ascertain, procu
red but a small supply of fuel in the fall—as
if he apprehended but a mid summer winter.
The wood was deposited in different parts of
the building allotted for that purpose—and
Mr. Wigg iisoften after contemplating h,s
own noble pile, cast a glance of pity on that
of his neighbor, and wondered that he had
not in the usual season, laid in a large stock
of this article, indispensable to comfort and
house keeping.
One day while Mr. Wiggins was examin
ing bis wood, it suddenly occurred to him
that within a few weeks it hud diminished in
- size, ts an extent, for which lie could not
, account —anditalso appeared to him; that his
neighbor's woodpile, although contemptibly
BSSSSSSBBSSSHSSSSBKSS3P3SBBBB*BSSS ||, iSHHPW*Bi
, small, was nearly ns largo as it was two or
r throe weeks before! Mr. Wiggins reflected
on the subject fora few moments, and by a
e curious process of reasoning, for he was by no
' ,nt ‘“ns a contemptible logician, he suddenly
. cam? to the startling conclusion, that his
s neighbor Spriggins, had, either intentional.
3 ly or unintentionally, been in the habit for
i some time past, of forgetting tin? location of
the respective woodpiles, and had bounuifully
- appropriated to himself the wood belonging
i to the industrious and provident Mr. Wiggins.
’ . W'ggins was thunderstruck at these
I singular logical deductions, lie could hardly'
believe it possible that his very worthy iteigh
i hor, Spriggins, would he. gujlly of playing
s him such an unneighbourly trick. The cir -
cumstantial evidence was strong, hut not suf.
i ficient to convict him—and Mr. Wiggins was
, a man who scorned to think evil ofhisntigh
: hor without cause, lie resolved to have pos
i hive proof.
1 Accordingly <V n Saturday last, Mr. Wig
> gins borrowed of a neighbor, a ship carpen
i ter, not Mr. Spriggins, an inch and three
quarters augci, and selecting a handsome,
■ attractive looking maple log, bored a hole in
it, into which he introduced a certain quan.
thy of a eombistiblc material, called gunpow
\ dcr. lie thenolugged up the hole, and pla
ced the log on .he top of the woodpile; in a
I very' conspicuous situation, and withdrew.
. Early on Sundry morning Mr. Wiggins visited
his woodpile, but ‘tbe log of maple” bearing
within its boson a full charge of gunpowder,
, had mysteriously disappeared during the
. night! Mr. W ggins forthwith concludes that
f he would not go to meeting that forenoon,
, but would stay at home and watch the pro
gress of the event.
1 Mr. Spriggins. mean while wa-- not aware
oflliis nefarious plot against Ins character
- and his dotaeslic quiet, which was concocted
by his neighbour Wiggins. Unsuspicious
soul! He had the day before purchased a line
looking spare-rib of pork, winch lie intended
t lor his Sunday's dinner. The spare-nb was
; accordingly deposited in the tin kitchen—and
the ini kitchen was duly placed before a
roaring lire, lor be it remembered, e.n passant ,
1 Mr. Spriggins did not use n cooking stove.
1 Tlie pot, well filled with potatoes ami
onions, and fur aught we know, other pilatas
hie and nutricious vegetables, was suspend
ed .frqin the old fashioned crane—the lire
burnt brilliantly, and there was every reason
to believe that in due season, a most excellent
dinner would be excellently well cooked
Hut alas, the most deliberate calculations, ami
apparently, reasonable anticipations, are some
times abruptly overthrown by some untoward
and unexpected event.
While Mr. Spriggins and Mrs. Spriggins,
and the several I tile S, riggins’s were snug
ly sealed in the room, alter the morning
service, inhaling the fragrant effluvia, which
proceeded from the tin kitchen, and antici
pating with watery mouths, the lime when
J the spare-rib, done to > a turn, would be
' placed before them, well dished, and prepared
■ to administer to the gratification of the organ
of Alimelilivcness,winch at that time was con
siderably excited —while Mrs. Spriggins was
the very net of preparing the rich gravy,
which is always considered a necessary ac
companiment to such a dish—and wtiile one
of the hub) Spriggins’ thus in the very act ot
declaring that he loved roasted pork heller
than anything in the world, a horrible event
took place, which dashed to the floor, the
anticipated c'.'p of joy, and actually shipwreck
ed them m sight i f port!
An explosion look place, which created as
much consternation, and produced almost as
much confusion us if the volcano of Mount
Vesuvius, hud suddenly hurst forth beneath
their feel' 'i he ashes and cinders were scat
tered all over l!te room—the tin ki.chen was
upset, and its {ontents, including the rich
gravy, were strewed over the floor —the pot
was blown “sky nigh”—and the half .cooked
vegetables winch it contained, sood after
wards came tumbling down the chimney in
niiscellanediiijjcoiiluiiioi) Thechildrcn scream,
ed—the doff Larked—grimalkin caterwauled
—and Mr, and .Mrs. Spriggins, supposing an
earthquake had actually shaken the house to
its foundation, and covered with dust anil
asheeii ami hespalercd wdh gravy, bawled
Ins ily for assistance!
Mr. Wiggins, who was on the watch, heard
the uproar, mid rubbed his hands with delight.
He then entered the apartment of Mr. Sprig
gins, and vvmle he gravely enquired what was
me mailer, and tendered Ids assistance, he
laughed heartily (m Ids sleeve) at the success
which, even beyond h s hopes, had attended
