Wednesday Evening, February 8.
ARRIVAL OF GEN. CLINCH.
This distinguished and beloved officer arriveti
here this morning by the Rail Road, from Charles
lon, and was received with all the marks of re
spect due to one who enjoys so large a share ol
; the confidence and affections of the people of this
city, and we may add, of this State. The two
(V Volunteer Companies, the Richmond Blues, and
Augusta Guards, paraded early this morning,
and inarched over to Hamburg, where they re
ceived the General, and escorted him to his lodg
ings at the Planter’s Hotel. A largo number of
gentlemen on horseback also joined in the escort,
among whom was the Mayor of the city, and the
Committee appointed at the meeting last evening
to tender him a public dinner. A number of
guns weie fired on both sides of the river in addi
tion to the salutes of the Volunteer Companies.
The respect paid to Gen. Clinch would be shown
but to few men living, for he seems to be a favor
ite with every body, and the volunteers who went
from this city to Florida all look upon him almost
as a father.
The Committee have waited on the General,
and tendered him a public Dinner, in compliance
with the resolutions of the meeting last evening,
f vv h*ch ho has accepted, and named Friday even
ing as the lime.
At a large and respectable meeting of the citi
zens of Augusta, held at the Masonic Hall, on the
evening of the 7th instant, Willi am W. Holt,
Esq. was called to the Chair, and N. W. Cocke,
Esq. was appointed Secretary. The Chairman
having stated that the meeting had been convened
for the purpose of adopting some method of do
ing honor to the gallant Gen, Clinch, Capt. F,
M. Robertson made a few remarks in compli
ment of the character and services of that officer,
and concluded by offering the following resolu
tions :
Resolved, That a public dinner be tendered by
the citizens of Augusta to Gen. Duncan L.
Clinch, upon his arrival in the city, in testimony
of their respect for his character and public ser
vices.
Resolved, That a Committee of thirteen bo ap
pointed for the purpose of tendering him the invi
tation and making all necessary arrangements .-
and that the Chairman be one under the last of
the foregoing Resolutions. The Chairman nom
nated as that Committee the following gentle
men :
Wm. W. Holt, Esqr. Lieut. S. C. Wilson.
Gcn.G. W. Summers. Lieut. Jas. T. Gray,
Capt. Saml. Bones, H. H. Cummins, Esq.
PLTEit Bennoch, Esq. B. H. Warren,Esq.
John Fhinizy, Esq. Emm. Martin, Esq.
Dr. J. G- McWhorter, Jas. McLaws, Esq.
Gr.O. W. Lamar, Esq.

arc desirous of subset thing to said dinner, bo re
quested to call for that purpose at the Eagle and
Phoenix, United Stales, and Planter’s Hotels, this
day, between the hours of 10 A. M. and 3, P. M.
The meeting hen adjourned.
WM. W. HOLT, Chairman.
N. W. Cocke, Secretary.
From the U. S. Telegraph,
INVESTIGATING COMMITTEES.
We have refrained from speaking of the
progress of these committees, not only because
we were without direct authority as to the
facts and circumstances occurring in the
Course of their investigations, but because wo
desired that the public mind should be kept
in Unit state of impat tiality which would al
low it to judge with calranesss, when the re
ports should be made public. We do not
now mean to deviate from this line of conduct ;
nor should we have brought the subject before
the puolio at ail, until the reports wore made,
but for the course of certain prints and cor
respondents in this city. The latter have
given currency to tnanyjrutnours, gathered, no
doubt, from the prevailing gossip of the Ca
pitol, while the former, oral least one of them,
lias sought to prejudice the public mind in
advance. We would wish tlie public to await
the reports of the committees before they
pass judgment, in thought or word, upon the
proceedings.
Tlie reader will doubtless have heard of a
certain letter from A. Jackson, Esq. and may
have seen, perhaps, a protest from ane of
his associates, R. M. Whitney by name; but
lie is desired so restrain his curiosity and to
suspend Ids judgment for the present. The
whole matter will be laid before the public in
a short time, in a form that will enable them
to make up a correct judgment.
There is one circumstance which wo have
noted in the progress of this investigation,
which is very significative. The East Room
paper appears to be exceedingly anxious to
forestall the public opinion. Scarcely a num
ber reaches us that does not contain some
phillipic against Messrs. Wise and Peyton in
regard to the proceedings ol the committees.
The committees themselves are designated as
"inquisitorial," and evcly term of opprobrium
is heaped upon certain individuals supposed
to be rather too active in ferretting out the
frauds and corruptions of the departments.
This fact speak volumes, and tell us there is
'‘something rutlen in the State." It is worthy
of remark that the President, who, we are as
sured, was anxious for the investigation, has
found it convenient to close the doors of his
most virtuous family, and to join in protests and
prevarications with It. M. Whitney, Esq. One
stands mute—another, Mr. Amos Kendall, is
suddenly fallen into idiocy, and knows no
thing of the history of the country for tlie
last halt century, having been engaged, it
would seem, in studying the topography of
his birth-place, and claiming no knowledge
but such as pertains to Heaven. Messrs For
syth aud Woodbury have been engaged in
other anti-sublunary speculations, and are
equally indisposed to contemplate eaithly
things ; while the great god of the whole con
cern is casting about his thunder-bolts against
the intruders upon the privacy and purity of
his heavenly-minded establishment. Be it so.
The people will determine whether it is inno
cence or guilt that shuns the light, and plants
obstacles in the way of investigation.
We had promises of open doors, and invita
tions to “come and see ;” but now we are told
that general charges arc worth nothing—arc ,
undeserving of notice —and that those who make '.
thetn are slanderers and calumniators; and as ,
ihe whole concern, from tlie kitchen to the par- ,
lor, from the porter to the President, is an “unit” ,
—no one can be allowed to bear testimony against
another, on the law maxim that no petson can j
give testimony in his own case ! Asd do these ,
Corrupt ministers suppose that the people will be
content with these suspicions prevarications and
F, subterfuges t If so, 'they are dccriud? S
sl' uik r refllSC ans ' Tor interrogatories, and
skulk from investigation, and the public will at
m inbu te .be proceeding to the true cause. Th'
£ =* Ibofongh and perfect examination
or who attempt to hide their guilty deeds
mil be exposed... the nakedness of crime before
„ the whole country.
Postscript.—Since writing the above we
_ have, seen the Last Room paper of this morning
containing the letter of A. Jackson to the Hon.
- H. A. Wise, which is referred to above. It will
bereadby' l , 0 p UbKc wilh nnlvoM#l astollish !

proceedings as being in the nature of general

and that, therefore, the proposed investigation is

Departure of Santa Anna.—The U. S
barque Pioneer, Capt. Talnall, was towed to sea
i on Tuesday morning last, from Norfolk, by the
. steamboat Patrick Henry. On board the Pioneer
was Gen. Santa Anna, and his Secretary, Cap
tain Almonte, bound to Mexico.
From the N. V. Commercial Advertiser, of Feb. 4.
Disasters—The ship Avis, from Savannah
for Mobile, came in contact with the brig Dia
mond, Capt. Chaffee, fiom Now York, fur Apa
lachicola, by which accident the latter was total
ly lost. The disaster took place on the morning
of the sth of January, about forty miles cast oT
Abaco, (Hole in the Wall)—the wind at tho
time blowing a gqle, and the slop under double
reefed 'topsails. The Avis laid too to render as
sistance, and succeeded iu taking off the crew
Unfortunately, while the crew were passing from
the Diamond to the boat of the Avis, Capt. Chaf
fee fell between the ship and tho boat, and was
drowned. The A. remained near the wreck until
8 o’clock tlie next morning, when it went down.
The Avis lost her bowsprit, fore-lop gallant mast,
and started hot cutwater, and was then wise
seriously injured. She succeeded in reaching
her destination. The Diamond was a new
vessel of about one hundred lons, and was owned
by Wm. R. Bowers, of Providence, and by Capt.
Chalice. She was insured in Ibis city for $7,000.
The brig Standard, Snow, of Bangor, was
wrecked on tlie 10th Dec. on a reef off Middle
Carcos, on her passage from Savannah, Ga. to
Kingston, Jamaica, with a cargo of lumber, rice,
&e. Capt. Snow and the crew, with a part of
the lumber and materials, arrived at Turks Island
on the 23d Dec. in one of the wrecking vessels
belonging to the island.
From the New-Yorker,
WOMAN—IIX ERNEST UERENGER.
‘ And aay, without our hopes, without our fears,
Without the home that plighted love endears, h
Without lli‘smiles from partial beauty won, u
Oh, what were man—a world without a sun ” a
A Bachelor as we arc, we are far from withhold- ti
ing our warm tribute of admiration from Crca- M
lion’s bettor part —the delight and toiment, tho u
‘ morning sunlight and tho evening joy,’ of life. b
Wo have never bowed before any * bright parti- c
eular star,’ but we profess a kind of general allec
tion for the whole sex. We love them all—with ..
a reasonable love; that is. wo do not like their a
faults. Wo confess wo could never have any
patience with the giddy flatterers who form tin*
retinue of fashionable folly. They arc like but- ''
terflios wantonly sporting in the summer sun, '
beautiful but useless; sacrificing at tlie shrine of 1
a temporary admiration tho attractions and graces u
which were designed to gild and cheer the path-
way of life. s l
But Woman—view her as she should be, and
such as fancy paints and nature designs her—is g 1
tho charm, the romance, tho presiding angel of tu
life. Without her, how desolate, disgusting, and si
common-place were the scenes around us! The pi
grace, the beauty, the poetry of existence were bf
gone. Her presence is like a sunbeam bursting
through tho clouds and gloom of earth, anima
ting and enrapturing all within the circle of her
influence, crowning the cap of joy and beguiling
the mood of wo. It is a vision embodying all
that is lovely, tender, and admirable—all that ex
acts the homage or awakens aud controls the ten
derer passions of the heart.
And who can estimate tho power of Woman,
as a sex, in the various scenes of life—in work
ing the weal or wo, tho exaltation or debasement
of fallen humanity ! If, indeed, all the causes
that are operating upon society could he distinctly
ascertained, what an untold tide of influences
would bo traced to Ibis source! How many
minds are moulded in (licit form and structure —
how many hearts arc fashioned and fired in their
operations, by the plastic baud of Woman !—How
essential is it, then, that Ibis fountain-head of ex
istence—this spring of life’s deepest, fondest and
most uncffaceable impressions, should bo pure,
sacred and holy!
We agree with Lord Byron in admiring, above
all tilings, piety in a female. We mean not cen
sorious aud ostentatious prudery, but simple, un
affected, unobtrusive piety.—lt sits easily and
naturally upon the gentler sox—throws a diviner
grace and beauty about their daily paths, and
adds new loveliness to their charms. It is in this
character that Woman appears most lovely; and
it is in this character that history testifies most
loudly to the benefit of her influence. The Sa
viour of the world had no disciples more humble
and devoted, more faithful and confiding, than
her:
• She, when apostles shrunk, dal dan to brave—
Last at the cross and earliest at the grave.’
And it is a remarkable fact that to Woman the
chief credit of introducing Christianity into the
land of our ancestors is due. It was almost in
variably through the influence of their queens
that the different kings and kingdoms of the
Saxon heptarchy adopted its tenets, throwing
aside their former barbarous riles and savage
idolatry. Amid the scenes of the Reformation
she was also a silent but efficient actor. And we
arc often called to admire her sustaining the bands
and encouraging the hearts of its apostles, and
chocring the last hours of its martyrs in the dun
geon and at the stake.
Woman, in fine, wherever she is placed, and j
in whatever sphere she moves, may ever be sure ;
of admiration. In tlie throng of fashion and the |
haunts or pleasure, we may how to her charms j
and acknowledge her power. Yet it is not there
that she is the loveliest. It is when she lends
herself to grace the common walks and to per
form the ordinary duties and charities of life that
she appears most fascinating—most angel-like.
It is around the domestic hearth, in the nursery,
by the bed of sickness and of pain, that she most
deserves our homage. It is there that we gaze
and worship. It is there that we bless her en
livening presence, and cease to wonder that
even Paradise was desolate and cheerless without
her bliss-creating smile.

THE WAKULLA BPKI.VG, FLORIDA.
BY REV. FITCH W. TAYLOR.
Sweet goblet of the sylvan spring
Whence bright Wakulla rolls,
Thou sceracst like some glorious thing
Just fallen from cerulean halls.
Thy fame hath gone beyond tho sea,
As tale from fairy laud,
Nor deem the earth has such as tbeo
1 o curl its wave on golden sand.
But here the eye of lady bright
Hath gazed upon thy face,
And ihou bast drunk its beauteous light,
And mirrored back its loveliness.
And boro the heart with gentle beat
Hath o’er tby bosom hung,
While on tby tide the sylph-like boat
Seemed gliding now the clouds among.
And hero they say that lovers come
Upon tlieir winding maze,
■ To catch each other's smile, as from
Thy sunlit bosom back it plays.
And hearts that seek thy silver glade
With joyous hopes should glow,
Nor sorrow’s cloud cast boro one shade
So bright and beautiful art thou.
And art Ihou not the long sought found
That ceaseless years should give,
Which Knights from ‘father-lands’ sought out,
And deemed that they who drank should live ?
And live they yet who wot their lips
In thy clear fount of yore,
When gallant men came forth to sip
The aqua vine of thy shore ?
Sweet goblet of the sylvan spring,
More fair than Helicon !,
The gi fled with the lyre shall sing
Thy mystic charms us Time rolls on.
But what shall thou tho emblem bo
To this fair laud of flowers ?
Thy tides are deep, and pure, and free,
Nor shall they fail with coming hours.
So may the founts of .Science pour
Tlieir streams of wisdom out,
Still, deep, perennial, and pure,
As flows tby fount that lessons nut.
And through their land of olden fume
May Virtue's currents glide,
As onward rolls tby crystal stream
To mingle with the Ocean’s tide.
And such we’ve deemed shall be tby weal,
Thou land of golden hope,
As Time tby years shall chronicle,
And thy b.igbt promisings shall ope.
Ay, Florida, the beautiful,
The loved, the storied land,
The cop of bliss foams bright and full
Wo ask may greet thy fairy hand.
And could we shape tby destiny
Through change of onward years,
Then brightest lot should wail fur thee,
While heavenward wotul our holiest prayers.
For tliiue, wo know, are fiiirost flowers,
Aud purest founts, aud clime ;
And glndly would our future hours
Share weal and woo with thine.
[From tho Albany Evening Journal.]
\Vc hope the Author of the following linos
has cost away the Bowl, hut for winch he
would have been respected for his honesty
and admired for his genius. If suffering, des
titution and degradation, with ali the kindred
miseries of drunkenness, can induce a man to
“cast away the bowl,” this individual has
brought, himself within the rule. With tal
ents and integrity which fit him for the high
est walks in society, lie has for years been a
ragged, dirty, loathsome drunkard, hanging
about rum collars, staggering in the streets, or
rolling in the gutters ! He is sober now, and
we d-aw this picture, disgusting as it is, that
bn may boo himself— the thing he was. II
bis is deemed a harsh remedy, we reply that
all tho milder ottos have been exhausted. Hu
lias worn out tho sympathies and lost the re
ijioct of his friends. In mere compassion,
to was rescued from commitment as a vu
jrant, and placed where he lias had an oppor
unity to form redeeming resolutions. We
tincerely hope that there is as much truth as
roetry in this determination to become a so
icr man :
I’VE THROWN THE BOWL ASIDE.
I’ve thrown the bowl aside,
For me no more shall flow
Its ruddy stream or sparkling tide,
How bright soe’er it glow ;
I’ve seen extending wide
Its devasting sway,
Seen Reason yield its power to guide,—
I've cast the bowl away !
O no or tempt mo again
To drain the cup of sin:
For ruin elite, disease and pain,
Taint all that foams within ;
Neglected duties rise
In fearful, sad array,
Up to its brim. I will he wise,—
I’ve cast tho bowl away !
I
I’ve seen the pride of all— 1
The wise, the good, tho gieat— 1
Like summer leaves, all timeless fall,
And veil thcii high estate; I
I’ve seen fair woman give i
Her every charm away,—
Embrace the demon vile, and live ! i
I’ve cast the bowl away !
I
My days of revelry .
O gladly 1 give up; ,
They’re but the masks of misery, |
Which still lurks in tho cup:
While Indolence and Want (
And Poverty display
Themselves in every drunkard’s haunt, —
I’ve cast the bowl away !
A drunkard’s gloomy grave
Shall ne’er be made for me ;
O rather let the rushing wave
Engulpb me in the sea !
And may it he my lot
To die 'ncath Reason’s ray I
Remembered by my friends or not,
I’ve cast the bowl away !
i
My potli henceforth is plain,
In honesty to live—
To shun Intemperance and its train,
By Industry to thrive ;
No duly to forget,
And live to bless the day.
When I was led without regret,
To east flic hove! away ! 1;
c From the N. V. Courier and Enquirer,
s “THE DAY OP SMALL THINGS.”
We never felt more forcibly the applicahi.
t lity of this old fashioned form of words, that
'• in reading a communication a day or twe
i since in one of the Philadelphia papers. It it
t in the shape of a letter from John M. Niles.
5 Senator in Congress from Connecticut, to otic
Mr. Pettit, who it seems, invoked the opin
‘ ion of the said Niles on tho right of a Logis
• Inture to repeal a bank charter deliberately
granted, and tho more general power of “the
people,” to do any acd every thing which
tlieir petted demagogues may deem expe
dient. This Mr. Pettit appears to be proud
beyond measure, of his senatorial correspon
dence, and ho parades Judge Niles before
the public ns tin authority that is pretty likely
to settle tho matter effectually. That illus
trious individual happens by one of those in
scrutable dispensations of Providence, which
theologians themselves find it difficult to ac
count for, to bo tlie representative of a sover
eign commonwealth in tho national legisla
ture, and advantage is taken of this circum
stance to make Mr. John M. Niles a man
whose opinions are worth something. He is
called Judge Niles, with the view, we sup
pose, of producing the impression that ha has
held a judicial station in his own State that
entitles him to consideration ns an expoun
der of law and an annontator on the constitu
tion. His legal and constitutional learning
must be estimated by his own display in the
letter itself, with which tve have nothing to
do atllfis moment; we have not yet got to That
part of the remarks tve shall probably make
before we ar s through with this article; but
it is proper lor us in the onset to disabuse the
public on a preliminary point. This min is
called a Judge and literally speaking, the
charge is cotvoct, John M. Niles was actual
ly « Justice of the Quorum for tlie county of
Hartford—in a Court that is used ns the more
stepping stone to trial before the superior tri
bunals, and in whoso capacity ihe Ltv'islaturo
basso little confidence, that it is allowed to
have final jurisdiction in no cases involving
pecuniary claims over seventy dollars. Tins
name Judge Niles was taken in high party
times from a more pettifogger's office in an
obscure hamlet called Poqaunnock, to the edi
torial supervision, of a Inv party newspaper
in Hartford, named the “ Times,” ami while
editor of that charmingsbeet, made u judge of
the court inferior in grade and jurisdiction to
all others in tho Stale, saving always tlie
county magistrates. This is the Judge NUes
ot whose opinion so much : s attempted to bo
made, and whose judicial dignity is consider
ed so “available”' in an emergency. Wo
venture to say, that among his three hundred
thousand constituents in Connecticut, three
and twenty cannot be found who would rely
upon his legal opinion in a controversy in
volving the title to a tinuip patch ; and yet,
because a political casually has tumbled him
into the Senate of tlie United States, tho
demagogues ol Pennsylvania are not ashamed
to trumpet the crudities of this man’s brain,
ns high authority in u great question of gener
al and constitutional law ! Truly has our
country commenced “running emptyings,”
and our era become tlie “ day ol small things,”
when John M. Niles is quoted as of conse
quence.
Having told our readers how much tho au
thor of the letter is wort It per se, it would
hardly seem necessary to notice the contents
of the loiter itself, and wo confess that we leol
considerable repugnance to such a task ; hut
we will glance at it, worthless, ignorant’ and
abusive as it is—that wo shall bo brief, is all
tlie apology we have for noticing it at all. In
one respect we feel grateful to the Philadel
phia Jacobin for publishing this letter, it will
convince every man of common intelligence
that blockhoadism and knavery form the ’foun
dation of all the movements against the laws
and constitution of the country, ami that this
Mr. Niles is only distinguished for his promi
nence in the display of those qualities.
Judge Niles is quite clear that n Bank
charter may bo rescinded with as little cere
mony and as little compunction as a law may
be repealed regarding the fishing f'or(alewives.
Ho is exceedingly lucid upon this point, and
he is perfectly pellucid in the opinion Unit n
.State Legislature has the right to do precise
ly what it pleases with the acts of a preceding
legislature. Us power in his opinion, is uii
qualifiedly omnipotent, especially in regard to
banka. In the caac of turnpike incorpora
tions and some others, he thinks there may he
more scruple, hut as to banks, their charters
are more baubles that legislatures may play
with as tlieir children would sport shuttle
cock. Mr. Biddle’s letter, ho characterises,
as “arrogant and insolent,” and altogether
very shallow. It proceeds, says the classical
Senator, “on an assumption of the question
at issue, namely, that the charter of a Bunk
it a contract within the meaning of the con
stitution of tlie United Slates.” Wo think
Master Niles right in this position, though he
is a little ridiculous iu his phraseology. No
body but a booby ever doubted, wo believe, that
a hunk charter, granted upon conditions, is a
contract. 11 it be not, we wonder the won
derful Mr. Niles does not tell Mr. VV. V. Pet
tit what it really is. In tho absence of all
Senatorial explanation, wo are bound to be
lieve be considers it a cheat—a payment in
counterfeit money, Senator N. expresses his
full conviction that the charter of tho United
States Bank was bought of the Legislature of
Pennsylvania, and in this opinion 100, tho
people of Pennsylvania will probably agree
with him. It was bought, am) as we are in
clined to believe the Pennsylvanians consider,
pretty well paid for, in the immense benefits
it will confer upon the State. Tho vile insin
uation intended to be conveyed by Judge
Niles' letter, that the Legislature was bribed
into the grant, will ot course be treated with
the contempt it deserves.
The arguments of the .Venator are almost
100 contemptible for notice. Asspccimens ol
his wretched ignorance not only of legal prin
ciples, but of English enough to prove it, Ihey
may bo useful to bis own constituents, but
they are utterly disgusting to all others. This
letter of Mr. Niles has not the redeeming
quality found even in the poorest and paltriest
productions which have been poured upon the
country by stupid ami illiterate men since Mr.
John Cade has been made a model'of repub
licanism in this country. It is not even “plau
sible in a blunt way.” It cannot pretend
even to common sense. Its sophistries are
the nonsense of a school boy ; its reasonings
would do dishonor lo the Abbot of Unreason
amidst the inebriety of a Uhrisrnas revel.
The veriest pettifogger that ever sported fid- |
ly before a backwoods Justice of the peace, i
would be ashamed to utter such contnrnmafo 1
shallowness—at all events 1 1 innnit'ett to |
profound an ignorance of elementary knowl- <
edge. Wo certainly cannot foilow Ihe Idler
through its labyrinth of absurdities, for it h; a 1
very long one, but we venture our iviiii'a'ini !
upon the assertion th.it no man of ordinary '
capacity and common acquaintance with tho t
topics A iroitls upon, can find a point (Incus,
sod in the whole letter that does not betray I
the most obvious ignom.ee and the most
barefaced impudence. With the language i
in winch the Poqnnnnock I’undit lias seen fit '
lo express himself, it. wore perhaps trilling i
passiimc to sport. It is beneath all criticism, 1
and abundantly beyond coiiipreliensio i, to
any but the initialed, Speaking of the “con- i
at.tutioii.il” propriety of revoking con*nets 1
with the Banks, the Senator thus expresses
himself •Aa no sacrifice of | roperty or in
i- justice will bo consequent upon their dissoln
.ii tion, there can be no implied pledge of tlie
o public faith that shall exist in perpetuity.’
is We dare say the Senator thinks there would
s, be no sacrifice of injustice in such a case, &. il
e is therefore a favorite project with him—but is
i- that the scntimentjho meant to express? We
do not select this foolish sentence invidious
y ly. It is about a fair sample of the Senator’s
o grammar and ethics—quite ns good in both
li respects as the major portion of his letter,
i- We do not indeed, make any part of tho ro
d marks contained in this article, from mere par
i- tisan feelings towards Mr. Ndcs, or from
0 friendliness towards the object of his most
y impotent attack ; but we make them because
I- we would not permit people in foreign conn*
. trios to read this exocruble production of an

Corrosponili'iicß of tho Baltimore Patriot.
Washington, Jan. 26, 18f37.
11 In my letter ot lust night 1 informed you
that Reuben M. Whitney appeared before the
Committee of Investigation yesterday, and
produced a Protest against the whole proceed
ings ol the House instituting this inquiry,am!
of the Committee in their action under Mr.
1 Garland’s resolution. This precious docu
‘ nient is of a most formidable length, and as
’ sumes the highest ground ns to the rights of
’ tins Treasury Familiar and the Banks which
! employ him, while it denounces in umneasur
-1 ed terms the inquisitorial conduct olllm House
' of Representatives aud of the Committee.
’ The contemptuous language in which Whit
! ney spoke ol the intelligence of Congress, iu
■ his circular letter recently published, has not
‘ passed out ot the recollection of tho pulilL.
3 This protest I understand, is in a still loftier
• strain of arrogance. Ho is quite indignant at
3 the passage of the resolution through the
1 House—although, bo it remembered, his own
I political friends voted lor it—and kicks at tlie
* course of the committee, upon whom also, ns
1 you are aware, there is majority of Ins yoke
-1 follows in subjection to the Dominant Power,
though nut, lot ns hope, in iniquity. He re
-1 gards the officers of the Doposito Banks and
3 himself ns private individuals wilh whom
1 Congress had nothing to do; and alter a long
3 rigmarole about Ins constitutional and inulien
-3 able privileges, ho winds ns wub professing u
s willingness to answer all questions touching
3 matters of a public character, of which ho lia.s
■ knowledge.
3 The Committee thought proper to take him
* on his ow n ground, ami making themselves
■ judges of what questions did refer lo public
r matters, they proceeded with the examination,
■ which was conducton by Mr. Peyton. Wliit
> ney however refused to answer any of tlie
1 questions which Mr. P. propounded to him
3 in succession. In making liis replies his man
-1 nerwas far from respectful to tho committee
> or tho gentleman who (rained tho questions.
• Ho would look at them (lor, you will hour in
r mind, the whole examination is conducted in
writing) then throw themjnsido, with a remark
that they wore inquisitorial, or concerned him
■ ns an individual—-and ho decliued.lo answer.
One of Mr. Peyton’s questions was so framed
■ as to require a direct statement, whether
1 Judge Taney did not refuse to countenance
1 Whitney or recommend him for the situation
I he now holds I Tins the Witness declined to
1 answer, more particularly, hq said, us the
I mover of the inquiry had declared tho charge
I was true, and he (Whitney) thought he ought
i to prove it.
This you will remember was tho subject of
I the card Whitney lately published in tlie
i Globe, iu which ho pronounced the assertion
of Mr. Peyton a falsehood ami calumny. As
1 Mr. Peyton, whoso fearlessness and magna
nimity tire known to tho whole country, and
therefore require no vindication, did not con
descend to notice this card, Wliitnoy doubt
less felt liimsolfsafo in exhibiting before the
Committee his poor splriiui spite, to a man
so much elevated above iiis miserable sphere.
But Mr. Peyton did not allow tins climax lo
tho insolent character of his general bearing
to pass unnoticed. Ho rose, and began an ap
peal to Mr. Garland, the chairman, on the in
sulting reply of tho witness—but very soon
Moke ofl—und stepping up to Whitney, ho ad
dressed him thus : “You Thief and Robber!
if you dure to insult mo here, before the com
mittee, I’ll put you to death!” Whitney was
frightened out of his senses—but made no re
ply.—“ You said in your Card that I shield
myself behind my constitutional privileges,
now sir, I wish you distinctly to understand
that I waive a), privileges
Mr. Ga,land, the Chairman, hero interposed
to preserve order; and Mr. Peyton resumed
his seat. Wliitnoy then rose, and wits pro
ceeding lo speak, when Mr. Peyton interrupt
ed him, commanded him lube silent, and de
clared he should not answer but in writing.
Mr. Wise here remarked to his friend, that
Whitney was unworthy of his notice. He
attempted to draw Mr. Peyton off from him,
but Mr. Peyton said, “No —l pay no regard
to Isis cards—hut when ho insults me here,
in the committee, I will notice him, robber
mid thief as lie Is.” Mr. Peyton then turn
ed to the Chairman, and reminded him that
ho had treated Whitney respectfully. Hith
erto “ 1 have treated him, said lie, us if he
were a gentleman, aud I will not permit him
to insult mo.”
Mr. Whitney was then ordered to with
draw, and Mr, Hamer offered a resolution that
the last answet of the witness should ho re
turned lo bun, as il was no reply to ihe q’les
lion, and was disrespectful to a member of the
committee. This resolution was adopted
unanimously, so deeded and strong was the
conviction of every member that the demean
or and language of this “great man ” wore
improper and hit tilling.
On Whitney’s return this resolution was
road to him, and ins answer given hack to i
him. He then apologized and ( .pi--*scd Ins
regret for any disrespect he had manifested to
tho Committee.
To-day ho has been much more pacific; and ,
somu important facts havo been disclosed in I
Ids testimony. He admitted that he was I lie ]
author of the letter (recently published) and ‘
signed by the six cashiers of the deposilo |
banks, recommending the establishment of n t
bank bureau in the Treasury lb p.irfment, mid 1
recommending himself! R. M. Whitney ! us 1
a proper ( erssu to he placed at the head of
il! This letter was wr.tten while Kendall
was acting as the «g-nt of the Treasury Do- «
part nient, and 1 believe while be was in I’tid- 1
ttdelplfia on a journey of discovery to see on 1
what terms the banks would receive the de- 1
posit should ill ,J y ho removed from tic Bank 'i
ol the United Stales. Mr. Peyton and Mr. <
Wise | nl question after question to the wit
ne f, to ascertain whether kondttll liad nnv ‘
time’ to do with getting up this letter—tint he j
woi.nl not answer a word to anyquerry that ~
touched Air. Amos Kendill. Mailt that! i
Whitney admitted that ho applied to Mr. 11
D line for the appointmhnt he flow holds.
II ■ admitted that lie wrote tho circular te '
r un ive-.. recently published ; and declared he
was aiitlioriki'4 by the Secretary of the Treas
ury to use the threatening J.inguige he did
ouin'oy.

I- The Ohio—No river in tho world rolls lor a
l- thousand miles a cuirent so smooth and peaceful.
ie its tributaries wind through as many valleys in
” ten dillerent Slates. The first in size, the Ten
,l [lessee, having passed a navigable course through
It three States, for more thi n one thousand miles,
j a falls into the Ohio river fifty miles above its
e mouth; the Cumberland—sixty-two miles—being
navigable for steamboats to Nashville, and .for
' koclboats three hundred miles further; the Wa-
I bash, two hundred and thirty miles ; Green river,
two hundred and eighty miles from the mouth of
' the Ohio—navigable two hundred miles, and two
hundred yards wide, at the mouth; the Kentucky,
five hundred and four ihllCs, find navigable one
II hundred and fifty-miles; Great Miami, four hun
;t dred and cighly-lwo miles; Scioto, seven hun
-0 dred and forty-two ; Great Konewha, eight hun
‘ dred and fifty miles—navigable sixty-four miles
a to the Salines, where annually Is made from
e five to seven hundred thousand bushels of salt;
• Great Muskingum, nine hundred and fifty miles.
C These are tho principal auxiliaries which give
substance and strength to the Ohio’. In its course
of mure than a thousand miles, it washes six
States, and with its tributaries has more than five
|( thousand miles of navigable waters. Its main
width is six hundfed yards, with the exception
j of its lowest fifty miles, the average width of
1 which is one thousand yards. The average ra
j pidity of its current is three miles an hour. It
1 rises fifty or more feet. At low water, its sur
’• face at Cincinnati is supposed to be one hundred
and thirty feet below the level of Lake Erie, and
■ four hundred and thirty above the tide water of
• the Atlantic. Such is tho Ohio.

Roofs Covered milh Paper. —To over tho
; roofs of farm buildings, especially of barns, use
• may bo made of sheets of paper, of which tho
‘ best is tlio paper made of wool, which is both
1 strong and cheap. Each sheet is steeped in a
1 boiling mixture of three fourths of pitch and otto
• fourth of mineral bitumen, melted together. Tho
r sheets are left to dry a day or two, when Ihey
I undergo a new immersion and a second drying,
t a ..l they may ho immediately used. They are
t fastened on the roofs like slates, upon laths then
i covered a line and a half in thickness, by means
s of a brush, with a liquid composition ot two
. thirds tar, ( guudron ,) and oue-third pitch. Tho
■ whole surface is sprinkled over with sand, or with
. iron dust from the forgo. This kind of covering
J is very economical, and requires but vety light
, frame wotk fur the tool'.
