Thk Dim ISkws is the title of a new paper,
the first Humber of which was issued yesterday
morning in this city. Messrs. W. H. Pritchard
and K. F. Hush, are the Editors nnd Proprietors-
It is a small sheet, something less than the New
Orleans Picayune, and allho’ its Editors belong
to the Administration party, it is to be a neutral
paper in politics, or nearly so. It is issued from
the office of the old “ People’s Press.”

The Now-York Herald of the Bth says, “there

have, for some days hack, transpired failures ,
among the weaker portion of Cotton holders, t
which failures were anticipated ami considered
s
inevitable, but hopes were indulged that the |
larger houses would he enabled to stand through t
the crisis. During the past two days, however, I
the failures have touched heavy houses, and
some important dealers have yielded to the pres
sure in this city. A large house in Philadelphia
went down yesterday. This house was connec
ted with an eminent Liverpool house; ami an early |
stoppage here, it was hoped, would save the En- '

.Mrs. Chilton mid Mr. Van Itiiren. I
A correspondent of the Times, at Saratoga >
Springs, gives the following account of a severe j
rebuke Mr. Van Huron received on his arrival* j
from the widow of the late Governor Clinton. i
Having been fairly installed, he began to play '
the courtier. After graciously giving audience to I
some expectants, he saw at a short distance in the *
huge public saloon, the widow of the late Cover- 1
nor Clinton, instantly leaving his company he 1
rushed through the crowd with impressment to 1
other his hand. The lady drew herself up to one 1
of her firmest and loftiest attitudes, and bent upon 1
the weazel courtier u countenanee of disdain and
.contempt, rejected the proffered hand, and turned
with indignation, as d from pollution itself, from
the man who had reviled ami persecuted her hus
band during his life. This indignant rebuke and
‘cut direct” did not change the smile on his
imperturbable countenance. He Inis not soul
enough to feel it. The lady was heard to say ns
she left the room, •• J—l speak to the who
persecuted tny husband to the day ofhis death 1!”
The Charleston C ourier, speaking of the re
cent Libel case in New Orleans, and the decis
ion of the Court that the truth of the charge
should not ho received in evidence, says;—
The question m ule in this case was similarly
decided, by our Constitutional Court,many years
ago. in the case of the State vs. Lrhre—and
there is no doubt that such is the English law.—
We have as little doubt, however, that a legisla
tive remedy ought to bo applied, net to tender
the uulh a justification for n lils-l in answer to a
criminal prosecution, and thus license the ripping
tip of old stories for the gratification of mere pri
vate malice, but to permit its introduction in evi
dence to enable the jury to judge whether the
publication was malicious and deserving of pun
ishment, or the result of a higher and justifying
•motive. Persons, who have atoned, lierhaps by
years of reformation and good conduct, tor for
mer offences, ought'not to ho exposed to the
shaft* of libellous malice ; but the truth ought to
be a complete protection lr those, who from con
sideration of the public good, or other equally
praisoworly motives, hold up the vile and crimi
nal, by means of the paws, i i public execration.
J'rorn the Arm Yti’ i- Express,
The I’npiT Nub-Treasury.
The Sub-Treasury has two sides to it, the one
a gold and silver color, and the other of a paper
color. The original Sub-Treasury Bill of our
Slate-obedient Senator, Silas Wright, proposed
the exaction of the Revenues in gold and silver,
the deposite in vaults under bars and bolts (to
be in the custody of officers of the Government)
and when there was a given surplus, the invest
ment of that surplus in stocks. The Stock in
vestment was yielded winter before last, but last
winter, the specie clause was yielded, in spite of
Mr. Calhoun.
It ts now understood that the Loco Focos pro
per of the North and the Calhoun Sub-Treasury
men of the South demand the S/neie Sub-Trea
sury. whereas the Albany Regency, and that
part of the Party educated in that Seminary, pro
pose the Viper Sub-Treasury.
The Paper Sub-Treasury exists now to consi
derable extent, "in spite,” as Mr. Cambrrleng
said, “of the lamentations of the People here

ills own check. That was the testimony before
the Investigating Committee. He is the Great
Sub-Treasurer. He is now “the Independent
Treasury. This is the Paper Sub-Trcasurv,
*1 hr Paper fub-Ticaaty proposes the collec
tion of thr Revenues m TrcAxury Notes, Hank
Note*, ;tml Merchants' Checks upon Banks, as
heretofore, except that the Treasury Notes are a
new currency rendered necessary hy the extrava
gance oft ie ( Fiiverninenl. There is no ohjec
; lion to this rtub-Treasury thus tar. It is an old
! practice, the continuance of which the Whigs
now recommend. But when the Paper Hub-
Trrasiircr ) propose to deposit lliis i’a()cr with
i Officers of the federal Government, in vaults of
their own, with holts and liars ol their own,
bemuse such “Independent Treasuries" are safer
than the vaults ol Bunks, we part from them. —
We allege that Banks without hu fs are safer
depositories than Officers toi/A legs. VV e say
the Bunk of America is more secure than .les e
| Hoyt. If we understand the Hub-Treasury par
| tisans, they take the converse ot this proposition.
The Paper -Suli-Treasury is eminently more
I dangerous to the morals and political organi/.a
-! tion of the Government than the Hpecie Huh
! Treasury. The Paper Sub-Treasury proposes
I the hoarding up of Bank Notes I y the Officers
I of the Government. Every body can see that
a Government, whose Re cnues arc $30,(VP),000,
with such a proportion of Bank Notes, has it in
its power, to make, or break what Banks it pleases.
Hoarding up the. Notes ol a Bunk, or becoming
one of its great depositors, it may dictate a mea
sure, an I if obedience refused, run upon the
Hank, (following the advice of a New Era) at
pleasure. It. has always seemed to us, from the
time Mr. Wright proposed to make the Govern
ment a great Stock Broker up to the lime ol his
abandonment in the Seriate of the Specie clause,
that the main object of Mr. Van Buten was to
obtain this control over the Banks of the coun
try. Under the Paper Sub-Treasury, us the pro
position now is, Mr. Van Ilmen, through his
Sub-Treasurers, the Office holders, would have
the Thirty Million-dollurs Power of the Revenue
to exercise over the Slate Banks of the country.

Trewntnes," Speeie or Paper, they notv prolfcr

Trouble Among the Indians— A Great
u
Slaughter. p
The St. I,ouis Republican, states, on the uu- f
thorily of a letter from Fort tSuelhng, dated July i
Kith, that a most unhappy slate of ali'airs exists y
between the Sioux ami Chippcways, and, that n
the latter have been slaughtered in great mini- h
hers. The following is an extract ol the letter:— |,
“The Sioux and Chippcways have had a i.
brush at two different points on the St. Croix,
and again about thirty miles above the Falls of
St. Anthony. The Chippcways, just before
leaving the Pillagers, I believe, had killed, at u
Lake Calhoun, a Sioux Brave, an hour or two e
alter sunrise. Tito news having spread like t
wild-liro, the Siouxs, about two hundred strong, a
left the Falls, llale-in-he-lap, a Chippevvay t
Chief, had pushed on with his party and was not t
overtaken. The Siouxs who left the Falls, came
across n parly of the Ruin River Band, attacked
them about sun rise the next morning and killed ■
one hundred and thirty-three men, women, and l
children. This was above the Falls, Big Thun
der, a Sioux Chief, crossed the country in pur- ,
suit of the Strong Ground Bund of Chippevvay
and overtook and fought them at St. Croix.—
Big Thunder told the Sioux not to lire where the
whites were, (Messrs. Aitkins and Mel,mind's
party) and as the Chippcways huddled round
the whites many of them thus camped. Not
withstanding the Siouxs killed thirty-six men of
the Chippevvay party, and some women and
children. The country is in great excitement
and will continue so lor some time. There will,
no doubt, he a general engagement between the
Siouxs and Chippcways before many months
more, Halo-in-he-day is a chief not to he trifled
with, and the Sioux are consolidating under Bad
Had, a first rate warrior, who has been to Wash
ington.
At cident.
As the steamboat Mazeppa was proceeding to
wards Madisonville, on Sunday last, with several
passengers on hoard, one of the young men en
gaged to row one ot the boats during the race,
went into the mate’s cabin to change his dress.
\\ bile there, he unguardedly threw a lighted su
gar into a small keg or barrel standing near, hut
on turning round and perceiving that the keg con
tained gun powder, he stooped for the purpose
of removing the segar, when an explosion took
place, by which the young man was very severe
ly scorched and wounded, the cabin blown to
atoms, and the greatest confusion ami alarm |
caused among all on board. We understand the j
individual, though seriously injured, is likely to
recover.— .V. O. Her, of the ti/A,

MißAcrLut'R Escape. —A Cim.ii nrsrri ii
. niOM a Panther ! —List Saturday forenoon,
i Mr. James Ranney and wife, who live about 9
i miles cast of this village, in the town of Wat
,on. left home mi hind ness, leaving their house
• in i liar of their eldest child, a girl aged about
1 Idyii.is. .Near noun the girl heard the infant,
i a. d 14 months,* which had been laid while
a .lei’ii on a lard ill an adjoining bed-room, utter
a horrid acrcee.li, upon which she immediately
I - ran to its relief, and imagine her feelings upon
opening the door to see a panther with the, huhe
in its mouth leaping from an open window im
mediately over the hed ! Itut she, like a true
heroine, sprang upon the hed and then out of the
window, screaming at the height of hervoice and
upon being joined by the other children about
the bouse, pursued the panther at her utmost
speed. They followed it about forty rods to a pair
of bars which separated the clearing from the
forest, at which place the girl states that she ap
proached to within 15 or ‘JO feet of the panther,
when it relinquished its bold of the child, leapt
the bars and made its way into the woods. The
infant was picked up much strangled from its
rapid movement through the grass and sand
which had filled its mouth and eyes, but soon re
covered and is now well, save a few scratches
about its body, which have the appearance of
having been made by the panther’s teeth. These
marks are very plain, and there are several blood-
Idisters raised where the lectli in slipping came
in contract. The girl stales that the panther
dropped the child once before arriving at the
fence, and it is supposed the .giving away of the
clothing was the cause, as they were much torn.
We have the above particulars from unques
tionable authority, and the probability of the sto
ry will not ho questioned when it is known that
the immense forest east of the river is inhabited
by the panther, and that at this season of the
year they frequently are the personification offu
mine itself, which fact accounts for its approach
ing the dwelling, the tardiness of ils movements,
and ils inability to leap the bars with its prey in
its mouth, as we understand it made two inelfec-
Inal efforts before .giving it up. Too much praise
cannot ho bestowed upon the brave girl who thus
saved the life of the child.— Louisville Journal.
The last number of the North American Re
view, in noticing -Mr. Willis’s late work “A.
A’ahri, or the Tent Pitched,” makes some very
just remarks upon, the affectation and dandyism
of style of the author. All who witnessed Mr.
W.’s first efforts in the literary world remember
with great pleasure the beauty and richness of
some of his first pieces, and feel deep regret that
lie should have abandoned his original style for
one which, however flippant, is devoid of force
and filled with nonsensical mannerisms. When
the author of “Absalom” first came forward, it
was in the ease and grace of nature highly en
dowed and free from the shackles of convention
al rules; hut, unhappily for his fame, “he fell
into bud comps ny,” and in associating with sucli
literary fops, male and female, as Lady Blessing
ton, Disraeli, and others of the same clique, be
came tainted with their ridiculous peculiarities.—
The remark which one of the Scottish Lords of
Session is said to have made to Mr. Jeffrey, now
Lord Advocate of Scotland, upon hearing his first
speech, would apply to Mr. Willis, Jeffrey hav
ing been educated in England, and contracted i
many of flic affectations of the House of Com
mons, such as “my 1,m1,” Arc., at which the old
judge, who was very Scotch in his feelings, was
grievously offended. Alter flic young advocate
had closed, thejudge leaned forward on his cush
ion of crimson velvet, and said—affecting the
broadest dialect he could assume—“Awcel,
Frank, when ye ga’ed awa’ frae your ain coun
try, ye carried yer ain mither language vvi’ ye—
ye hae tint that and hac brochtbiick anc that’s
muckle wnur.” So was it with Willis; —when
he went abroad ho carried his own style with
him, but he lost that, and brought back one that
is much worse.— Hah. Am.
A Pno vi ounce Dandy.— A correspondent
of the Providence (R. I.) Journal has given the
editor an account of the “stirring up” of one of
those “hanimals.” Two little urchins had come
across one of them, whose lip was pretty consid
erably shaded with dark, grizzly-looking hair, in
their travels up Westminster street:
“What’s that'!'’ asked the younger lad.
“That,” replied the other, "why that—that is
—1 donl know what they cull it, but it belongs to
the caravan.”
“To the caravan!—why I wonder how it ga*
louse —perhaps it will hill ?"
"No, 1 guess not; poke a stick at it and sea.”
Not at all afraid, the 3 murker did run after it,
and coolly poked a slick at it.
“You impertinent little rascal,” exclaimed the
exquisite, turning suddenly round, “desist, or 1 ’ll
chastise ye ! dem'me, if 1 will not;”
“lleyl” cried the astonished mchin.
“H-a-y!—yes, you low, vulgar, ill born, lllili
rnte scamp, I’ll ahsquatalizo you in an instant I”
and raising his foot 100 suddenly loeHeclhis pur
pose, as ill-luck would have it, a seam gave way
undone leg of his pantaloons was entirely ripped
apart.
“Burst his boiler! burst Iris beiler!” scream
ed the lads, and away they scampered.
The best of the joke was, three ladies stopped
by the way and witnessed the w hole affair, ap
parently with much gratification.
Extraouuinahv Discovkht.—The Citron
ii/iic <lc I‘uris relates the following extraordina
ry scene as having taken place at the Court of
Assizes, A youth of about 19 was brought to
trial for having broken the window of a baker’s
shop, and stolen a two-pound loaf.
The. Presdcnt —“Why did you steal the loaf!”
Prisoner —"l was driven by hunger.”
“\V by did you not buy it 1”
“Because 1 had no money.”
“But you have a gold ring on your linger;
why did you not sell it 1”
"I am a foundling; when 1 was taken from
the bank of a ditch, this ring was suspended from
myjncek by a silken cord, and I kept it in the hope
of thereby discovering at least who were ray pa
rents ; 1 cannot dispose of it,”
The J’ronirenr du Hoi (King’s attorney)
made a violent speech against the prisoner, who
was found guilty, and sentenced to imprisonment
for five years. Immediately upon this, a woman,
more worn dowir by poverty than age, came for
ward and made the following declaration :
“Gentlemen of the Jury : Twenty years ago.
a young woman was seduced by a young man of
the same town, who, after deceiving, abandoned
her. Poor and distressed, she was obliged to
leave her child to the care of Providene. The
child has since grown up, and the woman and
the seducer have grown older: the child in pov
erty. the woman in misery, and her seducer in
prosperity. They are all three now in court.
The child is the unfortunate prisoner whom you
have just pronounced guilty ; the mother is my
self; and there sits the father!” pointing to the
1 Procurcur du Koi.
A Pennsylvania Loan.—The Baltimore
Patriot states that Mr. Henry G. Brown, residing
near Bmwnville, Pa. with an ordinary six horse
team, hauled, last week from Hagerstown to
Frederick, forty-two barrels of whiskey, estimat
! ed to weigh 13.000 pounds. This "monster” of
a load was brought iir safely to that city, (by the
i way. over the worst of the road,) hut the wagon
; proving insufficient, 15 barrels were uni aided
j there, and the remainder brought on to Balti
- more, consigned to Messrs. Reynolds & Moshier.
1 This is probably the heaviest wagon load ever
[ brought over the mountains.
Singular Amalgamation— A cat which
hail made her accouchement in a garden in J
Granbv-street, about a month aro, brought forth _
among the usual number of her feline progeny,
a perfect leveret, a young hare except that its
head and neck were those ot a at. It is now
j alive ami hopping —having all the actions of a
j hare—and shares equally with the kittens the
affectionate regard of a madam | uss. A hare
: had frequently been seen in the ga.den ; and we
must conjecture this strange amalgamation to
have been the result of an intimacy between it
and the cat. The opposite natures of the two
animsls, combining to such an end, however, is
not a little remarkable, nor unworthy of the at
tention of physiologists.— Norfolk Herald.
The upper rivers arc now so low as almost to
prevent navigation. The chap who got up the
boats “ that run any where If it's only moist,''
will have to start his line again.— New Orleans
| Picayune.
1 In passing Lafayette Square yesterday about 0
I o'clock, we overheard the following short dialogue
I between two loafers: “I say, Bill—aint this
i weather most extensively warm? My eyes! I
I feel just as an old wot dish rag looks—l'll go
home, I h’lieve, and get wrung out and hung up
j to dry."
j “ Guess you’d better, Sam—you’ve been soak-
J ing it for more than a month, and I rather think
| if you don’t do so, you'll gel mildewed afore long.

The Abolitionists north and east of the Poto
mac are holding a grand convention in Albany,
j N. Y., and one of the main propositions is the
j introduction of abolitionism into the political
field. They ptopose to murk even such men as
.1. Q. Adams, who will not toe their line; and,
as for Mr. Clay, they will hold no manner ol
communion with him, a holder of slaves.
A Pertinent Question. —The Methuen
Gazette propounds the following methematical
question:—“lf a man is too poor to pay tor a
newspaper, how many dogs can he afford to
keep?” An answer is requested.
The following toast was delivered at the cele
bration of the Fourth of July at St. Josephs, Fa.,
by P. I’. Gautier, Esq.
The Glorious Thirteen States of 1776, —Like
the faithful servant in Holy Writ, can this day
render an account of their talents. “ Lord thou
deliveredest unto us thirteen talents. Behold we

'
AnnicuLTUßE.—lt is stated that Dr. Joseph
E. Muse, of Cambridge, Md., has a field of four
a :res of corn, which will yield one hundred and
fi re bushels of shelled corn to the acre. Ho
in ode seventy bushels to the acre last year.
Them eniioub Power. —A locomotive engine
built at Lowell, for the Western railroad, was ,
triod on the Lowell railroad recently, and started |
from a slate of rest, a train of sixty-three cars, ;
filled with merchandise, weighing three hundred |
and thirty-three tons, of 2<'oo lbs., and carried it ]
j with case, over an ascent of ten feet to the mile, j
j at the rate of nine miles an hour! ,
A Kentucky Load.—lt is stated in the t
Maysville Eagle, that a broad wheeled wagon of f
Mr. Henry Spars, one day last week, took a load ,
. at a commission house in that city, which weigh- i
|cd 12,184 lbs. This is supposed to have been the i
heaviest loaded wagon that ever left Maysville. I

A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS,
DR. IK. EVANS’ CELEBRATED SOOTHING
SYRUP, for Children Itutting their Teeth. —This
infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil
dren, when thought past recovery, from convul
sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the
gums, the child will recover. The preparation is
so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no
child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it.
When infants are at the age of four months, though
there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the
pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup
in the nursery where there are young children; for
if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the
pores and healing the gums ; thereby preventing
convulsions, fevers, &c. Sold only at Dr. Wm.
Evans’ Medical Office, 100 Chatham street, New
York, where the Doctor may be consulted on all
diseases of children.
PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF
Dr. EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent
of Dr. Evans’ Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir—The
great benelit afforded to my suffering infant by
your Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and
painful dentition, must convince every feeling pa
rent how essential an early application of such an
invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and
torture. My infant, when teething, experienced
such acute sufferings, that it was attacked witq
convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that
death would soon release the babe from anguish,
till we procured a bottle of your Syrnp ; which as
soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change
was produced, and after a few applications the
child displayed obvious relief, and by continuing in
its use, 1 am glad to inform you the child has com
pletely recovered, and no recurrence of that awful
complaint has since occurred; the teeth are ema
nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health.
1 give you my cheerful permission to make this
acknowledgment public, andwill gladly give any
information on this circumst; ncc.
WM. JOHNSON.
TONIC PILLS. —The power of Evans’ Camomile
Pills are such, that the palpitating heart, the trem
ulous hand, the dizzy eye, and the fluttering mind,
vanish before their effects like noxious vapors be
fore the benign influence of the morning sun.—
They have long been successfully used for the cure
of intesmittc-nts, together with fevers of the irregu
lar nervous kind, accompanied with visceral ob
structions.
This tonic medicine is for nervous complaints,
general debility, indigestion and its consequences,
as want of eppelite, distension of the stomach, acid
ity, unpleasant taste in the mouth, rumbling noise
in the bowels, nervous symptoms, languor, when
the mind becomes irritable,desponding, thoughtful,
melancholy, and dejected, liypochondriacism, con
sumption, dimness of sight, delirium, and all other
nervous affections, these pills will produce a safe
and permanent cure.
Evans ’ Camomile Pills were first introduced into
America in 1835.
EVANS’ FAMILY APERIENT FILLS are
purely vegetable, composed with the strictest pre
cision of science and of art; they never produce
nausea, and are warranted to cure the following
diseases which arise from impurities of the blood,
viz:— Apoplexy, Bilious Affections, Coughs, Colds,
Ulcerated Sore Throats, Scarlet Fever, Asthma, Cho
lera, Liver Complaints, Diseases of the Kidnies and
Bladder, Affections peculiar to Females, and all
those diseases of wl atsoever kind to which human
nature is subject, where the stomach is affected.
More conclusive proofs of the extraordinary effi
cacy of Dr. Wm. Evans’celebrated Camomile and
Aperient Anti-Bilious Pills, in alleviating afflicted
mankind. —Mr. Robert Cameron, 101 Bowery.—
Disease—Chronic Dysentery, or Bloody Flux —
Symptoms, unusual flatulency in the bowels, se
vere griping, frequent inclination to go to stooL tu
nusmus, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fre
quency of pulse, and a frequent discharge of a pe
culiar foetid matter mixed with blood. great debility,
sense of burning heat, with an intolerable bearing
down of the parts. Mr. Cameron is enjoying per
fect health, and returns his sincere thanks for the
extraordinary benefits he has received.
