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.” Now Cotton. The New Orleans Ilee of the Cth inst. says— The steamboat Arabian, from Louisville, which she left on the 37t)h till., brought down six hales of the new crop from Rodney.

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.

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 else " All the Heeled in New ■ if I (Jol lector o; .

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. We wish to know,--we call upon the Globe, the Albany Argus, the Evening Post, or the Richmond Emprirer, Gourt Gazettes all, hr in formation, — which of the two “Independent Trewntnes," Speeie or Paper, they notv prolfcr to the People.

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, Steamboats sunk.

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. —New Orleans Picayune. 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.

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.

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.
