The Tallahassee Star of the 21st says:— ‘ The
army express which arrived here on Monday
morning last, brought the following piece of news
in the shape of a memorandum, upon the way
bill, made by Capt. Miles.
“Col. Harney sate at Key Biscayne, has cap
tured Sam Jones’ nephew and 25 other Indians.
The boats of the United States Steamer Poinsett,
also captured 15 Indians on the Miamo River.”
The Savannah Georgian of Monday', stales
that a severe thunder storm occurred in Beaufort,
S. C., on the 19th inst. Some damage was done
the crops on Lady’s Island ; and the schr. Le
vant, of Charleston, was thrown on her beam
ends, and filled in three fathoms water off Pig
eon Point. She was, however, raised, and dis
charged her cargo at Beaufort.
Rhode Island.— The election of two mem
bers of Congress took place in this State yester
day. The New York American states that a
portion of the Whigs have adopted one of the
Loco-Foco candidates, upon a local question. If
this defection be to much extent, it will of course,
when parties are so nearly balanced, lead to the
success of one or both of the Loco-Focos—a re
sult under existing circumstances, deeply to be
regretted, and not the less so, because the Whigs
have it in their power to prevent.
The Boston Atlas contains a statement of the
expenses and profits es the different Railroad
Companies of Massachusetts, with the amount of
declared by them respectively as re
turned to the Legislature. It appears that the
Boston and Lowell Railroad gave a dividend of
six per cent, for the year—the nett revenue on a
capital of $1,575,000 being seven and a third per
cent, for the year 1838. The Andover and Ha
verhill Railroad divided three per cent, for the
year 1838 being GJ percent, on §250,000. The
Boston and Providence Raijfoad divided G per
cent —the nett revenue being 7A per cent, on $l,-
700,000. The estimated nett revenue on the
Eastern railroad, open for public travel as far as
Salem, is, on S3GO, n OO paid by individual stock
holders on the Railroad from Boston to Salem,
13J per cent. It will thus be scon that in their
infancy the public works of that State are re
turning a revenue which gives every reason to
believe that they will soon become sources of great
profit.
From the Apalachicola Gazette.
The affair at Charlotte Harbor, appears to have
been even more disgraceful to the American arms,
than was at first represented. It appears that
according to the provisions of Macomb’s treaty,
a trading post was established within the Indian
limits, near Charlotte Harbor, and suttlers sent
there, well supplied with goods, to trade with the
Indians. They sold them plenty if Whiskey,
provisions, and notions. It is staled by letter
writers, (whose correspondence is published in
the northern papers, and probably from officers at
the post,) that the Indians were very solicitous to
purchase powder, ammunition, &c.—for said
they, how can we subsist in our country, unless
we have powder to kill game. It is not admitted
ttoy sold any to the Indians, but there were sev
erA white men, Spaniards, who had no difficulty
in getting as much as they wanted. After bam
boozling Col. Harney, and his officers, for a while,
by pretending the utmost friendship, the Indians
all at once, set upon his post, during the night,
and murdered nearly the whole of them, and
plundered the camp of what remained after their
sales. Among other things v Inch they obtained,
were a considerable number of the lately patent
ed repeating rides—to which the Indians took a
great fancy, which they were very inquisitive in
learning how to use, and which they were not
allowed to purchase.
So infatuated were the officers and soldiers at
this post, that notwithstanding all the bloody ex
amples which have recently been given of Indian
treachery and bad faith—yet they had failed to
fake the least precaution to guard against it, and
were overtaken and destroyed in their beds, with
out raising a hand in their own defence.

A difficulty seems to lie brewing between the
Territory of lowa and the State of Missouri.—
The Legislature of the latter, at its last session,
laid claim to a certain tract of land, which the
former claims to he within its limits, Ihe Mis- i
souri officers have been recently assessing the
people within the disputed district; and Gov. i
Lucas of lowa being advised of it. has issued his [
proclamation, warning all persons against exer- j
rising the rights of jurisdiction within the organ- j

Mobile. Advertiser,
The Loco-Foco organs groan lustily at the de
feat of Robert Dale Owen, who was a candidate
for Congress in Indiana. Their tears and lamen
tations are in this case very appropriately bestow
ed. Owen, in conjunction with Fanny Wright,
was the founder ot the Loeo-Foco sect, in politics
as in religion. He broached the principles which
now constitute the cardinal doctrines of the Ad
ministration. He first preached in this country
the now favorite and leading doctrine of ‘‘the Pur
t.v” —equal rights, and a community in all things.
He sought to build up a party which would level
all distinctions in society—which would confound
virtue and vice, and give to the idle, prodigal,
profligate ami vagabond, the proceeds of the labor
of the virtuous, industrious and enterprising por
tion of the community. His discomfiture is well
bewailed by those who are indebted to him for
their creed, and wdio, in their appeals to popular
prejudice, have profited by his (to the vicious)
fascinating hut demoralizing dogmas, —Richmond

Public Expenditures.
An inquiry was put on foot a few years since
to ascertain the comparative expenses of support
ing a republican and a monarchical government,
but with what success we do not now recollect,
nor is it of any practical utility, since the supe
rior advantages ot a republican government to
the people, over all other forms, more than com
pensate for any additional expense. But it is
important at all limes, and e' ery where, that pub
lic and private economy should prevail. Espe
cially it is important that our government should
be administered with the strictest economy ; for
although the vast domains now held by the gen
eral government in public lands, and the sales of
which produce a great revenue, and relieve the
people from much of the tax necessary to sup
port the government, it should he remembered,
that this domain probably belongs to the people
of all the States, and should, in the exercise of a
common justice, go to the several States, if not
to the people of the several States. Besides in
the exercise of a prudent foresight the people
should see to it that habits of extravagance do not
grow up in the government, that by and by, when
the means for gratifying it, now afforded by the
sales of public lands, shall he cut olf, they may lie
called upon to pay out of their own pockets by a
direct tax, or the government go on contracting a
national debt like that of England.
The jealousy of the people was greatly aroused
to this subject during the administration of Mr.
Adams, because for all the expenditures of the
government, it required about thirteen millions of
dollars per annum. If there was cause of com
plaint at this sum, what shall he said of the forty
millions of dollars now required by a reform,
economical, locofoco administration 1 If the
people were alarmed and indignant at the former,
with what feelings ought they to consider the
latter ]
Let us take a few facts to account for this vast
difference in the aggregate annual expenditures
of Adams and Van Buren.
The patent office under Mr. Adams’ adminis
tration, employed four officers, with a joint salary
of three thousand seven hundred dollars. It now
has twenty-live officers, with salaries amounting
to twenty-five thousand dollars. An increase of
more than twenty-one thousand dollars.
In 1828, the revenue amounted to twenty-three
million two hundred and five thousand five hun
dred and twenty dollars, and its collection cost
the government eight hundred and eighty-nine
thousand three hundred and twenty-seven dollars.
This was denounced as extravagance. But in
1888, the first year of Mr. Van Buren’s admin
istration, the collection of eleven million one
hundred ami sixty-nine thousand two hundred
and ninety dollars cost one million four hundred
and ninety-seven thousand two hundred and se
venty-five dollars. Here is a large increase in
the expense of collecting, though the revenue
collected amounted only to about one half that
of 1827.
The expenditure for internal improvements du
ring the four years of Mr. Adams’administration,
averaged four hundred and five thousand one
hundred and seven dollars per annum. And (he
people were told over and over again, that this
sort of extravagance would ruin the country and
make her bankrupt; and to put an effectual slop
to it, the party was opposed to internal improve
ments by the general government, except of a
particular character, which must necessarily he
limited.
But vve see that in 1838, the sum of one mil
lion nine hundred and seventy thousand three
hundred and seventeen dollars was appropriated
for that purpose. An increase, for one year, of
more than one million five hundred thousand dol
lars.
It cost thirteen thousand dollars to prepare the
President’s house for the reception of Mr. Adams,
but Mr. Van Buren requires nineteen thousand
for the same purpose. It cost the people six
thousand dollars more for a professed democrat
than for a real one.
In 1828, the war department employed twenty
officers, with a joint salary of thirty.eight thou
sand six hundred and sixty dollars. It then
managed the business of the Indian department.
In 1837, the war department cost the people six
ty-three thousand eight hundred and ten dollars.
It then employed forty clerks; and the Indian
department was managed as a separate concern,
by fifteen officers, with a yearly salary of nineteen
thousand four hundred dollars. An increase of
only fifty-four thousand five hundred and sixty
dollars.
The government in 1838, had to pay the fol
lowing sums for newspapers subscribed for by the
President:—
Post Office Department, $307 00
War Department, 884 00
Treasury Department, 977 93
Navy Department, 450 75
Total, $2.099 71
Besides the expenditures which are enormous
ly increased over the reported extravagant ad
ministration of Mr. Adams, we find it also slated
that the following among other similar sums have
been paid outof the Treasury in 1838. and which
smacks a little more of official extravagance than
we think the people ought to he willing to sup- I
port: —Ross hushes for war department, fifty-six
dollars and sixty cents—dinners at taverns for
clerks of the Post Office department, one hun
dred and eighty-eight dollais and seienty-four
cents—iee tor Treasury department, eighty-nine
dollars sixty-six and a halt cents—bust lor Sec
j rctary Forsyth, six dollars.
Are the people to be gulled with the objection
to the greatly increased expenses of the govern
! ment, and to its abhorrent extravagance, that the
i President is not responsible, because he dues not
nwke the appropriations ; and that the party is
not responsible, because it does not pay nui the
money. This kind of game may answer fora
lime to amuse the readers of the Belfast Journal,
but it is too lame and sick and sore to stand
against the prying gaze and close observation of a
free and industrious and intelligent people. The
gold furnished official may approve and pass
along any thing for an objection against what
helps him, but the hard toiling freeman, will
place the responsibility, with the majority, where
it belongs; and if the plea is, that this adminis
tration is composed of men who have denied their
accountability to God and men, we shall not bo
disposed to doubt it, but earnestly desire a change
in men, manners, principles and" practices, in the
high places of our country, that she may go on
ward and upward in the path of honor and safe
ty-

Mercantile Journal we extract the following let
ter, chronicling the eventful history of another
Sub-Treasurer.
Mu he Ruoirnnv — lt will be seen by the fol
lowing letter which we have received, that there
has been guite a ‘‘flare up” in the pleasant vil
lage ot Exeter, N. H., in consequence of rougue
ry in the Post Office at that place.
“Exeteb, N. H., Aug. 20, 1839.
Dear Sir—Our quiet village was thrown into a
slate ot excitement this morning, by the arrest of
Hiram Whittemorc, Assistant Post Master, at this
place, by process issued by the United Stales At
torney, for purloining money from sundry letters
as they passed through this’ofliee. It. seems that
several parcels of money directed to Dover, have
been missed, which led to suspicions of persons
in this office. And Mr. Smith, the Postmaster at
Dover, wrote to the department, mid got authority
to search the mails as they passed this and other
offices—and yesterday he caused letters, contain
ing money, and directed to Dover, to be mailed at
Haverhill and Kpping, and then followed the mail
from this place to Lamprey Uiver, and there open
ed it and found one ot the letters mailed by him
missing, and the money taken from the other two.
He then returned to Exeter, and late last evening
caused the Assistant Postmaster to be arrested
. anil examined—and the identical bilk contained
in the two letters, which had been marked by
him. were fodnd on his person—and the other
was found among the waste paper in the office.
Mr. Whittemorc is son of Judge Whittemorc of
Pembroke, one of the ornamental Judges of our
county, and married to the daughter of Mr. Hoit,
our Postmaster. He is a full-blooded locofoco,
and, as it seems, of the Harrington, Price, and
Swartwout school. He is now in jail.
Reception op Mu. Clay. —The reception,
yesterday, of the distinguished Western States
man, was more enthusiastic than his warmest
friends could have anticipated* Ifwe measure it
by his distinguished deserts, or by the gratitude
and affection of the People, it was all that even
those deserts could have demanded, and all that
the heartiest affection and the sincerest gratitude
could have desired. Never have wo witnessed
such a spontaneous and irresponsible outburst of
popular feeling. Never before have we seen a
whole community rising up and pressing forward
to pay an unbought tribute to a citizen who has
no claim upon them but that of eminent service
—no official position to summon official parade
and pageantry—no place and patronage for the
reward of a voluntary homage. The memory of
this eventful occasion must ever be cherished by
Mr. Clay, as among th • proudest recollections of
his life. Come what may, he can never forget
the generous and enthusiastic welcome which he
received yesterday from the citizens of this vast
metropolis. We do not believe that the annals of
the world record a purely civic triumph, combin
ing so much that was gratifying and honorable
to its object, with so much that, was disinterested,
sincere and heartfelt in the multitude assembled
to swell and share its display.— N. Y. Cuur, A

I he transport ship Quebec has at last arrived
at Quebec, and is said to be destined to convey
the. political prisoners in the Canadas to their des
tination— Botany Bay. There they will be in
dentured to the Colonists, and treated like galley
slaves for life, made hewers of wood and drawers
of water, and branded with the infamy of felons.
J his simple and primitive appearance of the
habitnns, dressed in the costume of their coun
try, will excite surprise at Botany Bay that such
men could cause so much trouble and expense to
the British Government, or that they were worth
transporting to a penal colony at all, for they con
sist of men deficient in energy, ignorant and su
perstitious to a degree. To them absence from
their native land will be infinitely worse th ?in con- |
finement in a prison, and the great length of the
voyage, which the slowness of the Buffalo will
considerably lengthen, will inspire them with an
indescribable feeling of alarm.
Ihe Courier ot yesterday appears to doubt if
the prisoners will he transported after all, and as
we live in strange times, it is not at all impossi
ble or improbable that they may yet be set at lib
crly probably some more fees are longed for for
commuting their sentences a second lime.—Mon

The Dying Husband.
BY ANN S. STEPHENS.
Dearest I’m dying:—bend thee down
One little moment by my bed,
And let the shadow of thy hair
Fall gently o’er my aching head.
O, raise me up, and let me feet
Once more the beating of thy tieart,
And press thy lips again to mine
Before in midnight death we part.
Nay, tremble notj but fold me close,
Pillowed upon thine one dear breast,
1 fain would let my struggling soul
Pass forth to its eternal rest,
iihe stoops, and on her bursting heart,
His drooping bead is resting now,
When white and trembling lingers part.
The damp hair from his pallid brow.
And there, upon its eold white front.
With qu tv’ring lips the kiss was given ;
And press’d as if’{would draw him back •
Back from the very gates of heaven.
There, like a dying bin), his soul
1-ay panting out its quiv’ring life ;
And still his almost lifeless arms
f lung fondly to his pale young wife.
One look he gave her, and it seemed
An angel had from Heaven above
Shaded with wings of tenderness
The troubled fountain of his love,
A hoi y smile came o’er his face,
As moonlight gleaming over snow,
One struggling breath—one faint embrace,
And lifeless he is lying new.
The setting sun with golden light
Was flooding all the room and bed,
Enfolding with his pinions bright
The fainting wife, the marble dead.
