CHIME AND CONSEQUENCE. , Continued. With lbs early dawn. I (hook off my lethargy, anil with • head fevered, and a heart aching from the dissipation of the night, I net out on my re turn home, which wan hut a few mill* iKxtant.— Although my atwence, on the |trevi«uß night, had liaen unpremeditated and unavoidable, my con science, a« it whispered over the list of my late transgressions, numbered this a* one of them. I knew I should lie greeted with affectionate smiles, and felt how unworthy I was to receive them, and (hat was a Jihtnr pang. It is not a marvel that men ahould ever la* iem|Kcd to the commission of a second moral offence, when the punishment for 1 the first is so severe ? But the head-ach of the drunkard and llio repentance of the gambler are (dike forgotten, when temptation again assails them. At I rode along, a prey to remorse, I made ma ny aicellcnt resolutions. I determined to soil oil ray racing stork, content myself with viewing tho sport, and never again to bet ii(»on it. Cauls I would never touch ; my time should l*e occupied in the cultivation of my estates, and tor relaxa tion, I would depend on literature and thcconvci aation of my domestic circle, finally, 1 resolved I# communicate to my wife all that had occurred, and give her the promise I was making to my ■elf. By the time I reached home, I had contriv ed. by these means, to restore, in n measure, any •elf-complacency, and I almost Haltered myself that I had gained n moral victory before I had •ven encountered the foe. Emily mot me at the door, with a thousand welcomes. “ How kind it is in yon,' alio said, ••to come an early! I knew when the storm came on,that I could not see you last night, and I hardly hoped you would have been so early n riser.”— “ But dearest,” eonlinucJ she. “you must have passed an uncomfortable night, your eyos arc hea vy, and inflamed.

" Quito so,” said I j “my coli surpassed tny expectations; I shall not lake a trifle for him." “ Why, do you mean to sell him 1” “ Him, and all the others. lam determined to quit the turf, Emily.” “Indeed!” exclaimed si. e, “Howl rejoice to hear you sav so, niy deir Charles, and particular ly ns you are not induced to the resolution by loss. I feared that if you «cre a winner, you would have been mure wedded to the spurt. I have never interfered with this passion of yours, Charles, but it has always been a souico of re gret to me, to see you waste your intellect on pur suits, to say the least, so frivolous, and wlilr.il lead you into society that I ciirinol but iliink unworthy of,—perhaps, disreputable to you. ’ I eagerly, ralhcr angerlv 1 fear, dcl'cmlcd my self (rum the latter charge, and assorted, that tny, associates worn, in general, men of atiitiim in so ciety and respectability equal to my own, and that if there were a lew whole character weto loss es timable, thev were merely (tie necessary instru ments of uur pleasure, and not held in the light of companions. “I care but little for station, if it he not worthi ly held.” replied Emily. “ Whilst I would pay to those whom adventitious circumstances pliico absve the mass of mankind, the lonnul respect which moiety demands, 1 should hold education end virtue to be tho lit companions of a husband whose cnltivanon of mind I admired, and whose natural goodnessot licait 1 dearly loved. Now, Charles, let me ask you, are not your associates, generally, persons of dissipated habits ; nay, vi cious ones I for I cannot look upon gambling as lets than a vice, I) * you derive from them any moral benefit 1 arc you sure that they contribute •ven to your amusement 1 I do not, fur a mo ment, believe that you Imvo learned to look upon plav as an amusement. —Oh! Oml forbid it should ever come to that! I had a friend once who was married to u gambler, and Charles, I have seen the deep anguish (hat pressed upon her heart, and graved its lines upon her pallid brow, though her tongue never uttered a complaint. When the wretch who hud trampled upon her affections h id basedy reduced him elf tn absolute want, he, as basely, deserted the family who relied on linn for support, by destroying himself, mid they were left, in their utter feebleness and misery, to the cold charity of (tic woihl. Poor Maty ! Cod hud merev on thee, and gathered thee to himselt," sighed Emily, us a l«ar stole down her cheek. “Ah. Charles, you *ej I have good reason to hate gaming.” “You cannot detest it more than I do, Emily," replied I; “never fear that I shall ho caught in its snares." “But Charles, men acquire habits by degrees, and learn to love that which they unco loathed: and what pleasure ia to he derived from associat ing with those whoso time is spent in play, if you Jo not join in their occupation. They can not converse wiili you; that would take oil their attention (ru n the gamut and they cannot listen tn you, their inteiest is absorbed i i their desito to distress thoso whom they cull ttieir friends, by winning their m nicy. But, my husband, I did moan to read you a lee.tiro," continued she smil ing. “ Ah, well Ido know, for your wife's sake, for our cherub child’s sake, you will never aban don yourself to the infamy of a gambler's life.”— And she threw herself into my arms. I pressed that form of loveliness to my bosom, and fell the beating of its confiding heart, and, coward that I was, I betrayed its confidence by vvilllho ding tile enminuniculiuii 1 had decided to make. 1 fell hunvded by her purity, and rebuked by her love, and I dared nut tell her what 1 had dune. The dar wore on, not without and reflection on my p.»rt, hut 1 felt self-assured that I would never ■o ert again, and as this confidence became strong, I persuaded myself that it was unneces sary to distress my wife by any disclosmcs. I had only to pay nlf the debt I had incurred, and there was an end of the. nllair That evening, Roberts called upon mo. 1 had no desire to see one who had been an eye-witness of my lust night’s madness, and 1 felt a dread lest ho might allude to it in Emily’s presence. There was no oc casion, however, for any such apprehension. Ho talked of various things, and in the most amusing manner, but never referred to the races, except to observe, in a slight and careless way, that I had missed no s|*ort by having been absent that mor ning. It was nut until my wile retired that he touched upon tho subject. “ Why, in the name of common sense,” he asked, “ did vou leave us this morning so abrupt ly, W or rather, why did yuu nut re turn 1” “ Simply,” replied, I, “ because I was guided **y common sense. 1 had lost enough, and too j much, and in away that my feelings disapproved of, and there was no pleasure to ho derived from lingering about the scene of my folly," ”1 lost too,” said Roberts, “ but I never sit down con tented with a loss. He were but a poor mer chant, who would fold his arms, nnhandon all en terprise, because, torsuoth lie found one adventure unsuccessful.” “ It is the business of the merchant,” said I, “to take such chances ; it is not mine to gamble, and yc I should think that merchant foolish, who should take a li.ix ud where he clearly saw that the chances were against him." “ And how do yon know,” asked Roberts, “that the chances arc against you 1" “ Beciusc every uuc lost last night but the banker,” 1 replied, “ And he had to refund this morning all that he had won," said llolierts, "and pul a good round sum to the opposite side oftheae ounl.” ‘•lndeed!" said I, “did vou play 1" “To be sure 1 did,” was the reply, “and have got til my money back a yam, with a tolerably comfortable slake besides. I regretted much that you were not there. Our error, last night, ia ob vious enough; the wine made us imprudent, or we both could hare risen from thu table win ners.” “ Perhaps it is better that we, at least (hut I, did not. I might have been tempted to continue a course that I foci confident would lead to dials tfousjconseqnenccs.” “ Well," said Roberts, “ I dare say you are right; and right or wrong, it is certainly not my wish to urge you to play. I merely thought you might be desirous to recover what you had parted with, and would therefore venture a trifle more to effect such a result; hut let that be. You will be on the field to-morrow, of course 1" “ No,” replied I, firmly. “ No!” exclaimed Roberts,with great surprise. l “ WV, who! becomes *f your horse, Vdox 1— J Time it nothing in the atahlrs to match him, snd a heavy purse to be won.” “I have determined to sell out my racing stock.” Roberts s*areii at me. “Indeed.” lie explained at length. “What next? lam prepared now for any marvel.

I did not a* bandon my resolution, it is true, but I postponed its execution, and it amounted to tho same thing in the end. I will not tire you by detailing the various connivances which wore resorted tutu in duce me to ploy. I could not if I would, recount the various schemes of villainy by which 1 was stripped of mv personal property, and compelled to mortgage my real estate. Usury, as well as gaming was now hurrying me on to destruction. 1 was fully aware of my situation. Tho dark clouds that hung over me were plain to my eye, tiio roar of the breakers was distinct to my car, hut ia sullen des| cration 1 held on my course, un til the bark, freighted with reputation, fortune, earthly linpi incss, and future hopea, was dashed upon the flinty rocks, and the shattered fragments strewed upon the waves. Long, lung before this, Emily ha I loon conscious of the cout'ie I was pursuing; my frequent and prolonged absence from home, my moodincst when there, my alter ed looks, my nights unblessed by sleep, or filled with horror-bunhened dreiuns, that spoke in deep groans of despair, told the tale in accents nut to he misunderstood. Oh ! what clforls did she make to reclaim me—with what kindness did she try to snot ho me—with what eloquence did she plead and urge mo to abandon tho vice that was pregnant with destruction tn us all! And how often did 1 promise—how often did I I swear to reform, until perjury on perjury robbed Iter of all respect for, and cofidenoo in me, though they could not totally extinguish the flame of un dying love that himied on the pure altar of her heart. Her health gave way at lust; the bloom of beauty faded from her cheek, and her form of gracefulronndnesswasullcmialrd toa shadow. My little hoy, 100, as ifhn sympathised with his droop ing mother wasted away,and looked the very type of misery. What a heart had I,to inflict all this ! 1 iia*c sometimes thought that a demon must have possessed me, and was permitted, for some wise purpose, to work his will. I know it was a fool ish thought, a misenble attempt tn shufllo oil', from my wounded conscience, the awful respon sibility of my own uninfluenced crime. But is it not strange ! 1 was tempted by no gratification of passion, by no smiles of success; there were no changes of fuituno tn retard my downward progress, and yet, unvarying loss could not loach mo to despair, and the hunting consciousness of the wretchedness I was heaping upon all who were most dear tome, could not prevail upon me tu refrain. But lot mo proceed. My ruin war. ut length complete ; every thing was swept away. I had neither food for my fami ly, nm a roof to shelter ilium. Before this, Emily had been repeatedly urged by her relations to accept of an asylum with them, but she hud re fused to abandon me.

But the time hud now come when it was necessary that she should look to her filends for the hare necessaries of life; and the state of her health 100 required comforts ami as sistance not lobe procured by poverty. For the pro -out, therefore, she consented to remove, with our hoy, to her father's house. 1 did not accom pany her, for I was fully uwaru that my society would not he tolerated there only for her sake ; and sunk as I was in my self, and justly degrad ed in the eyos of others, my ptide could not brook any manifestation of life feelings entertained to ward. me.

Major General Gaines, attended by his staff, entered the room a few minutes alter 11 o’clock A.

The Judge Advocate read “Order No. 65,” appointing the present Court and specifying its duties; and "Order No. 68.” directed the same tribunal to inquire into the expediency of certain publications, and whether said publications were not a violation of the articles of war. Gen.

He says he made a volun tary pledge also to the Governor of Loins- I iatta, t hat he would not require the troops lo , go further than lie himself went, and that lie f would stand by them as long as they stood by , him in the contemplated movement. He , also alludes to the extract from the Secretary’s letter to Gen. Scott, touching the “imagina , ry line” about which said Gen. Gainer, “ the . honorable Secretary of War has been pleas r ed again and again to give himself so much , trouble—that is a mutter which I perfect un . der.-tand—the long continued intrigues and ' vindictive efforts of those who have written 1 to mystify the subject, lo the contrary not j withstanding.” | General Gaines observed to the Court, that he knew tiio lorue in Florida was weak and having g.ven a pledge to co-operate with ' the troops at Fort King, it might have induced [ the officer to have gone into the wilderness, ] and perhaps have been cut up without Ins co , operation. 1 was within two day's march of j what I deemed to be the theatre of war.

Foster and several others, the i skeleton of a letter to Gen. Scott, supposing I him to beat Tamhti Buyer near there but s on ilie contrary, he was not there nor Intel he f been heard of. He then staled tn these gen r tisinen that the difficult.es whi h hud exfeted t between himself and Gen. Scott, must be o • verlooked in the discharge nf a public dull/. I As he did not find Geu. Scott there, lie went into tho nation, “met and beat the enemy, and compelled him lo sue Ibr peace—all of which 1 shall he real ter prove.” The Adjutant General's letter dated at Washington, 22(1 February, 1836, was read, Ini- Gen. Gaines raid he did not receive it until his campaign had terminated. Several orders, being requisitions upon the Depart ments, and a feller to Capt. Webb, of U. S. , Vuiiilalia, wore read. On the 23 Febuury Gen. Gaines reported ’ to the Adjutant General Ins arrival at Fort ■ King—detailing his marches and operations [ and enclosed Capt. Hitehcock’s report oftho t massacre ground of Dade. Tho General 4 hero remarked, that the bones of those poor (ellows had lain for 53 days unburied, and yet ’ lie was accused Ibr precipitancy in moving tu # avenge the foul slaughter. j On the same day Gen. Gaines reported his i arrival at Fort King to the commanding offi s cer at Fort Drane. Gen. G. observed, that tins letter was as much intended fur Gen - Scott as Gen. Clinch, but, Gen. Scott had not » arrived even at this time within 80 miles of hie ■ (Gaines’) department, and he contended that a me rules ot military law did not authorize the ■ transfer of the command until the officer appoin ■* led by the War Department had arrived at llu j seal of I for. The General here made an ab * hision to a case which happened in Portuga e in the British Army in 1809, in which Sir Ar l ' tliur Wellosly,Sir Henry Hardinge, and Sir [ Hugh Dalnnple were parties, which was aim- dar to the case of Gen.

He said would have 0 ’ co-operated with o corporal if he hud been sen j by the President of the U. Stales, in terruiu ating the war. General Gaines in a letter, dated at For d King, Febttary 23,1836, addressed to Govern is or White, ot Louisiana, after announcing hit i- arrival, says;—“The inclosed papers wi 1 ap re prise you oft the co-operation which 1 huvt II reason to calculate on from thu forces unde lc Generals Scott and Clinch." In speaking o m the war, he says,—produced probably—mos *>• certainly by tho lolly, and imprudence, if noi " by the corruption and intrigues of our ewr jo agents, and by the radical defects of our late J* system of policy towards the Indians.

'j “General Order, No 7,” details the npera -1 i lions of the army, the subjection of the Semi notes, and transfers the command to General Clinch, passing also the highest encomiums : upon the officers and men composing it. General Games then rose and continued I his remarks which he began at tbo opening of 1 j the court. “Upon the occasion alluded to our great and good President Madison approved rny C conduct and the Congress of 1814 honored me and my brave campamons in anus, with . j a unanimous vote of thunks. . I 1 was ordered upon that occasion to com- Imand the forces on ihe N agara Peninsula. I think I was not particularly ordered to throw myself in the breach w hich the enemy had i j previously made, or to attack and heat the en. i | emy. No such order was necessary to an officer who had made himself acquainted with ■ his duiy. It is scarcely necessary for me to i say that I advertto that deeply interesting ■ portion of my public services to show—not that if 1 did my duty honestly and faithfully ’ then, I ought to be indulged in doing wrong • now, but. that I acted in accordance with the highest principles of military law then, and that the same principles governed me in eve ry measure connected with my late campaign ’ m Florida. I had been ordered to command \ the Western Depaitment, and I affirm that to command a department, is promptly on the ' first appearance of an enemy to meet and beat him; and thus to repel invasion and protect j- the frontier, people, for whoso protection I . have lung been honored with a high commt.nd i in the army. Iftliisianot flic great object of the people of the United States in the hea vy burden iltey have imposed on themselves m maintaining an army, lam indeed ignor ant of the object of the creation and continu ance in service of an army. I am prepared to show that it was as much my duty and right, on hearing of the war in Florida, to fly to its rescue from the grasp of the infuriated Heminoies as it Mr. Secretary Cass had written mo as long an order as one of those upon your table.” Immediately succeeding these remarks the Judge Advocate then read the official report of General Gaines, dated at Camp Sabine, Louisiana, July 4,lß36,Jaddressed to the Arlju taut General, in reply to a demand of the rea sons which prompted Gen. Gaines to go to Florida. Tins splendid & masterly production of General Gaines attracted the most intense interest, during its reading, but its great length precludes my sending it yon for the present at ie st.

Jan 19 I The New Pilot System.—A committee a was appointed, a few days since, by a meeting of merchants and traders held at the Exchange by the Chamber cf Commerce, and the sev eral insurance companies, to devise a project for a new law. regulating the pilotage ot tins „ port: the gentlemen composing the committee (i are Messrs. C. Bolton. Charles H. Marshall, fi Wi hum Nelson, Gilbert Al en, John Barstow p and Robert Hermit; and with a promptitude , 1 for which they are entitled to public grati- 1 j lude, they have already devised a plan, ol t which the following is an outline. , A board is proposed to be constituted, to be r demominated “The Commissioners of Pilots, for the appointing, licensing and governing ot the pilots. The board is to “ consist ot three • wardens oftbe port,«ln belannually designated ‘ by Ihe Judges ot the court of Common Pleas, of two m mbers of Hie Chamber of Com merce, to be apointed by that corporation, and i oftwo persons to be appointed by the incur- porated insurance companies ofthecityof ( New York insuring against marine risks.” , The Commissioners are to license such per- , sons and so many as they may deem the pub- i lie service to require.—Each pilot boat is re quired lo keep a jog-book or journal of its va rious positions, and the events of each day, the state ot the weather, &c. No more than fifteen pilots are to belong to one boat, and no common interest or division ot earnings Is to extend farther than to the company on board the same boat. The rates ot pilotage are increased, and are, vessel? drawing less than fourteen feet of water, two dollars per foot; from fourteen to eighteen feet two dol lars ami fitly cents ; and over eighteen leet three dollars ; provided the vessel be boarded In the southward or eastward ofthe VVhite Buoy, and half the rates outward. If the vessel be boarded inside the White Bony, half rates only are allowed, and if not boarded beyond the Upper Middle; no pilotage is to he charged unless Hie vessel make signal for a p lot. If vessels are boarded very far off the compensation is increased, and the boat which furnishes the pilot inward is to have the per ferance for the same vessel outward. The committee have prepared an appro, palate letter to accompany Ihe hill, a copy of which, and a printed copy ofthe bill, have been addressed to each member of the Senate anil Assembly. The whole plan seems to us to bear the impress of practical wisdom. The New-York Express of the 11th inst, says—“ The Memorial put in our columns for a new U. S. Bank, to he located in the city of New York, will undoubtedly attract the at tontion of the public. Coming as this Me: morial does from the Board of Trade, of this great city, composed of Merchants of both par tjegi-a body so intelligent—so cap ible ot judg ing—so sincefely inteie-ted in a good curren cy, ami whoso interests are so closely united with the best interests of I lie whole ot this great country—it ought to have an nflnenco sufficient to effect its object. The currency is and has been, in a sad disorder. The, Boafn of Trade [impose the only remedy. Will not the Government hearken to the voice of wisdom experience, am).oxperine'it! We fear not but we shall see.” The Raleigh Rfgiste of Dec. 19 says* “On Thursday, the bill conferring Banking privileges nnihe Charleston and .Cincinnati Rail Road Company was taken up in Cum in tlee ofthe Whole, Col. Memminger, Coir.' missioner from our sister Slate, «ddi'esseil,tlie/ Commitee, in a Speech of more than three hours length, showing the imnense advantag es which would accrue to our Slate from the construction of the Road and the utter im practicability of its success, without the aid of Banking privileges. His Speech before the Senate, the concluding portion of which appears in this paper, wo considered an un common effort; hut it sinks almost into me diocrity, when contrasted with that which he do ivered lo the Commons. W nd r has been expressed within our hearing, uv numerous individuals, that so strong-minded a man has not been elevated by his State to distinction and honor, and we can only account for it on the ground, that he does not belong to the dmrfnant party in Sonth-Caml na. He is a Union man, and yet he paid the handsomest, tribute to Hie purity ofthe motives by which the Nullifters were influenced, that we have ever heard. VVALLL STREET. Wednesday, Jan. 13. Yesterday was the most remarkable day we have' experienced since the year began. The prices of stocks rose on an average of 2 lo 5 percent—and tho activity of ihe market was quite considerable. In ihe early part of Ihe morning we had intelligence from England nearly twenty-tour days taler, by tho way u s I'ldladcl) hla Tlie great enquiry was lo know ihe stale of Hie money unit cotton markets in England. It was found that both were ralliereasy, the last accounts representing the cotton market lirra and looking up. 1 his news created a most cheer ful aspect throughout every a enne of busness It was very generally be ioved thai the crisis had pass ed m England—that the danger was completely over —and Hint both cotton and specie ciusedno longer any disturbance in I hut country. Particular iidur nmlionof this condition ofihings was nut received. The vogue and general accounts, escaping through the lazy newspapers us Philadelphia, wore all tne facts that could be depended on. In addition to this l ews Irom abroad, we had the intelligence from Washington that the Specie Cir cular would bo rescinded. Tho Herald and (he Journal of Commerce were the only prints that an nounced this flier, but ns soon as n was known, it spread a general so ling of joy throughout our com mercial classes, 'f ho withdrawal of that Circular was ot once seen in all ns importance. The southern and western hanks would immidialely be relieved from the manacles now pressing on their circulation. As the spring business is Just beginning, the move ment would permit those hanks to extend ihoir ope rations, beneficially for the whole commercial conn try. From the west there will bo sent us specie where it is not wan ed, and we will receive it hero when it is wnntid, and where is it legitimate depo sitory. Cold and silver in masses are only necessary to liquidate the balances between nations. We can balance our accounts with the south and west, with products on one side and merchandize on the other, (treat masses of specie are useless in the western states. Men, women (lovely women) and much cattle are their pri cipal wants. With these they can produce rosy children, and all the other trimmings and tassels of opulence, wealth and power. , The combined influences of those circumstances had therefore a must salutary on the money market—the stock market—and Hie spirits of alt W all siroet. The fine, open, pleasant, agreeable, de licious weal her, was even no small item in the gene ral impulse that was felt. We shall positively have an early spring business. The only drawback lo this stale of things, are the slow movements of Congress on the subject ol the tariff and land systems—and the ndicul us conduct of the Legislature nt Albany. The manufacterers, who have been for five years enjoying n prodigious monopoly, begin lo cry out against Mr. ( ambreieng’s Bill 'I lore is a probability that the bill will pass m nearly the same shape it has been reported, not withslanaing the ridiculous excitement ntiempted lo be raised hv the lew opposition politicians Mr <'ambreleng’s bill ought to pass—and that imme diolcly. The singular and contemptible opposition of the Courier and Enquirer, a commercial paper, depending on commercial patronage, lo tho deep commercial interests involved in this subject, is ut terly without motive, reason, or arcument. In the Stale Legislature, we expect nothing to be • done. Mr. Maisou’s hill will end in smoke, and so will tho proposed repeal of the usury law It is a . singular tact that the whole proceedings ol the legis lature relative to the currency and money mantel, • would appear In originate in a common purpose ol ’ the I henix, .Manhattan, Stare, .Mechanics, Mer . chants, mi l other hanks, to drive out of the cily, the Morris Canal, United Slates Bank, and other institutions, so that they may enjoy a complete mo nopoly of the foreign and domestic exchanges Mr Maisun is the Notary of tho Uulchcss bank —the mere representative of a hoard ol directors He is 1 in-rely a pup|iel in the hands of the Fhonix and other banks. Instead , thireforeyf an investigation of the banks, tee shall not be surprised if the bank influence in Albany, inert ased tenfold the shackles , and manacles of the money market. Did ever men I act thus and so l 'ilia proposition to make all the Safety Fund Bunk* redeem their papers in New York is another ftree. Jt veil! never pass.
