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 ! *The following is an Extract of letter from a gentleman in New Orleans to a friend in this dated Feb, 25th, “Cotton can now be bought here at 9 cents; >d what is called a prime lot in Augusta is 'th here 9J to 9J cents.

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. Aliikii Gallatin, Pkteh Stago, Geo, Newdold, Cohn’s Hetkh, John I. Palmeii, G. W. fiAWUIi.NCE, P. W. Edmonds, Whereupon, the report was unanimously ad opted by the meeting. On motion, JieaolveJ, That tho same he pub lished. BEN.! M. BROWN, Chairman. Wm. M. Vedmilyk, Secretary. 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 Ins wicked Hratagem.
