This is glory enough for this District, —but we must endeavor to do better still in the Fayetteville District. “ Whet's in a name?" says the editor ol a Van Buren print somewhere in the west, while en deavoring to convince his readers that the mantle of Jackson still rests upon the shoulders of his successor,and that they have as good right to call themselves “ Jackson Republicans" while they support Martin Van Buren, as they had when they sustained the old hero himself. “What’s in a name!” Why, sir, if you would but shed your “Jackson Democratic Republican” cloak,and come out flat-footed “ Van Buren Men,” in less than a year’s time your party would lie forgotten “What’s in a namel” indeed, 'there’s a power in a name; and but for the name “Nullification,” State Rights principles had never me) the violent opposition they have in the South,Mid but for the same “Union,” Van Bureii men ha'd been as scarce in Georgia as honesty is in the ranks of their corps editorial. Mutist at sf.a. —Fourteen fine looking fel lows, crew of the|ship Manchester; Cipl, Hewitt, Just arrived from Havre wefe arrested yesterday by the U’ S, Marshal on a charge of having crea ted a revolt and mutiny at sea on June 10th. Their conduct it appears was outrageous, and . one of them stabbed the captain in the arm and they threatened to put him in irons and would have done so had it not been for the numerous passengers who interfered. A most fatal ami melancholy occurrence took place at Shell Point on Saturday last. At a shooting match, a dispute arose upon some question, which led to blows, an J finally tqjhe use of pistols, dirks, &c. In the fight, eight were wounded severely, and two, A. Macon, Esq. and Mr. Glissen, have since died. The particulars we have not learned — Tal. Watchman, Chicago—"‘Sum Plasters.” —Our readers remember the great shout which the Globe and its echoes made on hearing that the recent char ter election in Chicago had resulted in favor of the Van Buren candidates. Well; nearly the first thing done was to direct the emission of sev eral thousand dollars worth of shin plasters.— Hurra for Van—"democracy”—shin-plasters— “the party” generally—and Reuben M. Whitney i D particular. —. Missourian. The Boston Common Council have adopted the system of paying the firemen of the city. They have pa-sed a law to this effect by a unani mous vote - The fire department is reorganized, the number of engines is reduced to 14, with a company of 40 men to each, and each man is to |S' receive fifty dollars a year. Each Foreman is to j * have SIOO per annum ; each Assistant Foreman Ml $75 ; each clerk $75 ; and SSO for each steward. He* A law has also passed authorizing the Mayor to 11 borrow $35,000 towards the pay of salaries, &c. From the New York Star. Goon Advice.—We advise Blair to go forth | with to Mr. Van Buren and offer to sell out. He ; cannot be ignorant of the “signs of the Times.” He caanot longer govern in the name of Andrew Jackses—there is no longer any ja ency of weight in that name; and preparation i, making to turn him chit of the Congressional printing. Offer to sell out —ask a good round sum—you 1 can get it—they are alt anxious to get rid of you. Get your money secure, and leave Washington for the West—travel as little by day as you can, and 1 dont write your name on the Tavern books; you ’ may be roughly treated coming near Lynch- N. B. Take ftendall with you, and when you both look back on Washington and remember how you entered that City and how you left ft, thank God that you have both made an escape so lucky. In Turkey you would have both lost your heads long ago—in Russia you would have been sent in Siberia, and in England hanged. Hold on to the “spoils” and go as fur west as possible, you will carry Van Burcn’sgood wishes for your safe arrival at Rock River. Sell out, and sell out quickly, or you will have no bidder.

Payments—Condi tion of the Basks.— We have at length re ceived, through the Albany Argus, a full and particular statement of the condition of the banks in this city and throughout the state. The facts developed arc all of the highest importance to the public interest—to the situation ofthe country and to the moral sense of the community. A ray of light has at length been permitted to shed its radiance abroad and from this ray we see the road to an almost certain and immedi ate resumption of specie payments. The moral sense of this community cannot tolerate any longer the gross outrage inflicted on justice and integrity, by any further continuance of a suspension of specie payments. By their own showing the hanks arc amply able to resume next week and unless they do prepare in a few days; wc shall call upon the people to come forth in their majesty, and compel these recreant insti tutions by the mighty force of rightly directed public bpininion to be honest, and pay their ob ligations in specie. The following is a statement of the leading items; hearing on this point of view, taken from the rcjibrl as published in the Argus of last Sat urday;— Statement of the Banks in, the City of New York. „ July 1,1837.

Inferior banks, . 458,835 .0,705,953 1,592,701 2,686,354 14,763,596 tl, 132,577 By this extraordinary statement, coming from the hanks themselves; it apears they possess the elements of immediate resumption, in the greatest abundance. The circulation for the whole state is $14,763,530. To meet this they have specie in their vaults amounting to $2,636,- 354. It is probable, however, that by an imrpe diatc resumption, the whole amount of this specie or ncarlv the whale of it, might be exhausted jn the process of restoring confidence. Our own opinion is, that the very act of resuming would at once restore confidence, and leave neatly tfie whole of their specie on hand, but if it should not they possess the means to apqiurc more species more even than would be sufficient to effect the purpose of retrieving their honor. It appears that the total drnount of profits on hand, possessed by these nifiety-six banks is $6,- ( 432.577.—This extraordinary sum has been made out ofthe people of (His state. It is a fact admitted by the banks, and cannot be a mistake. Why therefore ought not these banks take the amount of their profits and convert it at.once in to specie? Less than half that amount would be sufiient to restore public confidence, arid retrieve the state. Specie at this moment is plenty, and is only six to eight percent higher than their paper. One united movement towards resump : lion would at onee destroy the premium, and bring paper and specie on a level. The ulti mate bvpense to the banks, would not be equal to one-fourth of the,profits they have madfc out of the comrhunily which they have dishonored and dis -1 gaaced. We trust and hope the banks will take this matter into their serious consideration. The ; banks of this city were the first to disgrace them selves in a body, by suspending during (he midst ofa ridiculous panic, wickedly produpfed by their depositors, in order to speculate on bullidh for ex portation. It was a grand cornering operation, by which the bankers and their conledcrates pro fited by their own dishonesty. There was no nc. cessity for the suspension at the time It took place. It was produced by a combination of weakness and wickedness—weakness in one por tion—Wickedness in another. It was merely ' “part dnd parcel” of the usury system of Wall street, and simply a great shave, in which the bankers were the shavers and the community the shave. We call upon the banks of New York to re s sume.—They led the way in dishonor—let them 1 lead the way in honor. The whole country will . soon follow. We shall then gel rid of the miser s able trash of paper money, now flooding both ci > ty and country. . Again we call upon the banks to resume, arid . we now give them lair warning, that we never . shall quit this call till this disgraceful suspension r is wiped away by honorable resumption.

Halsey of New Jersey, as President, and Dan c iel M’Keim of Philadelphia, as Secretary. ” On motion, Resolved, That the proceedings ol v the American Institute, of the city of New York, ,f held in relation to this Convention, on the 18th g dry of May, 1837, be read. f. On motion, Resolved, That this Convention u disclaim all party views and purposes inducing i. and influencing the same, and that their objects r are hereby expressed in the resolutions of the A- J merican Institute, just read, and that they will j consider it disorderly in any member, who shall . attempt to introduce any measure of a parly char acter, or to excite party feeling, i On motion of Mr. Buflum, Resolved, That a r Committee of three he appointed to examine the , credentials and make out a roll of the delegates > elected, as well as those in attendance, and re r port their place and residence, to the Secretary of i this Convention. The Committee appointed to 1 that duty, are Christopher Colt, of Connecticut, , L. M. Troutman, of Philadelphia, and Adam Lee, • of New Jersey. It was on motion of Mr. Colt, Resolved, That a Commilee, consisting of one from each State, (and where but one is present that he be appoin ted) to be styled, a committee of arrangement and nomination, who will report at the opening ofthe next meeting such order of proceeding, together with such names for officers, as may be approved by, and will promote the best interest of this Con vention.

The party begin (6 give signs of fear at the ap proach of the meeting of Congress. have good cause todread the assemblage of me represen tat ves of the people, even though a majority may consist of willing tools of power. Inquiry into the past cannot be avoided. The country has a right to know, and will know, in what manner public affairs have been conducted, and by what extraordinary means the Treasury has bebn bank rupted, and the nation precipitated from unparal leled prosperity into unparalleled distress.—Wc 1 must have a full and complete exposure of the 1 whole pet bank system—all the correspondence, which has been had between any of the “fiscal 1 agents” or any of their officers and Levi Wood- | bury, or any person acting for him. Conviction ' is settled in the country that there have been cor- 1 rupt transactions between the “Government" and 1 its “fiscal agents;” and the consciousness of guilt ' and the certainty that escape from exposure is out 1 ot the question, make the leaders of the party quake and tremble as the hour of trial approaches, I Had Congress for the last five years, as in duty ( bound, insti.uted every session a rigid and search- I ing scrutiny into the condition and management I of every branch ofthe public service, corruption J had not become the order of the day, and usurpa- i lion and misrule Mid not gained the ascendancy ( over the constitution and laws. As the whole e country has suffered severely for this unpardon ( able neglect of duly, Congress will not be held , guiltless by the people, if it persist in a course which effectually screens incompetent and pccula- j ting functionaries from tho penalties due to their crimes. In every well regu lated Government, the 1 guilty, whether great or small, must be subjected to punishment fur the public good. We hope tho friends of popular rights and of 1 a pure and honest administration ofthe Govern ment, who arc members of Congress, will pre- ' pare themselves for the labours of the session— 1 and will coelly and delibere lely determine what 1 steps ate necessary to he taken for the exposure of 1 official corruption and the p revention ot it in fn- ' ture. Let them adopt no rash measures, but f strike advisedly, that every blow may tell. Con sume as little lime as possible in debate, and in- i vestigate thoroughly the co ndition of every de- , partment of the Government of which there ex- | ists any suspicion. By sm;h a course, they will ( be sure of the support of the people. | Tides.—According to recent and accurate 1 observations, the tide wave travels from the Cape 1 of Good Hope to Gibraltar a distance of nearly 1 five Ihousand miles, in the short period of twelve 1 Ilmira, which is at the rate ot above 400 miles an 1 houb The same wave requires twelve hours to I Edinburg from Gibraltar, a distance of i 1,900 miles, and pocecds with a velocity of 160 I miles an hour; whereas that from Edinburg to I Londdh, only 500 miles, requires the same lime i of twelve hours, and goes at the rate of 42 miles I sp hour. These, retardations in the rate of veluci- j ty of the tide-wave are occasioned by the obstruc- | tion it receives from the coast it comes in , contact with. . At Liverpool it is found that a , fall of one tenth, of an inch in the barometer , raises the tide,one inch, which is a beautiful il- ( lustration of the law of gravitation.— Atheneum. | Commodore Hull.— Gallignani'aMesaenJ 1 ger .of June 5, says: “Commodore Hull, with ■ (lis family, have left Paris for Havre, te etn- I Lark for the United States.

J THE MAN RUNNING AFTER His HAT. * A race—a race—a truant hat, And hate-head man on whom il sat, I The latter trying to gel at I His topmost cover; The other leaping like a cat, The fences over. With rapid pace heonward fffcs, : And now ’tis just before his eyta: He leaps too far, and prostrate lies, While o’er his head, The nimble truant onward hies, With noiseless tread. He’s up again—resumes the chase,' And flies along with speedier pace ; He leaps,determined to replace, The agile rover; The hat is foremost in the race, Ahd he’s keel’d over. Again he’s up and on the wing. To speedy close the race to bring, He leaps, and gives a desperate spring, I And all to jelly. The hat is crush’d—a worthless thing, Beneath his belly. So youth for happiness oft stray, In eager haste her flowery way,' But in so rapid motion they Leap o’er the goal, And mock’d and disappointed lay, And lose the whole. A snail like march full many keep For happiness along they sweep, In cool pursuit continued creep, And following on, Too far behind they take the leA’p, And find it gone. And others still like lightning dart, Where pleasure’s roses (lushest start, And eager to secure a part, Headlong they rush; But find 100 late, with aching (tear!, Vile flowers they cruch.

Extract frtfoi the narrative ofa British officer who was captured 6i/t hoard a transport in Massiffehusuits Buy, in June, 1776, while a prisoner in Boston, “Os the manner in Which my dap were spent during many weeks of compulsory in. action, I kept no record. A captivh among entire strangers, to whose habits and notions 1 found it impossible to assimilate my own, tilhe rolled over my head as unsatisfactorily as possible; indeed, there Were moments when 1 heartly repented that I had been cajoled into tho acceptance of my parole, and pondered ujfon tho bes: method of having the indulgence withdrawn; but my comrades on all such oc casions, withstood me, while they argued with g; eat Justice that the measure co'uld on ly bring harsh usage upon the whole body of prisoners. Meanwhile wc found what amusement we could in wandering over the town and visiting the positions of Bunker’s Hill, Breed’s Bill, Dorchester,Charlestown, & other points rendered memorable as the scene of recent operations. Among these nothing struck us more forcible than the site ol the encampment which the Americans first oc cupied after the skirmish ot Lexington.— Many huts were standing in regular lanes or streets which crossed one another at right an gles; and it was easy in perceive that the same ingenuity which they were in the habit of exercising in the construction of their rude dwellings in the woods, had been applied by the rebel heroes to the formation ol their bi vouac. We were forced to admit, while ex aming their lines, that in the use ot the spade and the pickaxe—implements of war not less formidable than the musket and the cannon —our men would be no match for an enemy so akilful. “In this manner a whole montli wore itself out, and listless indifference was beginning to mark the bearing ofsoine, when an event be fel which so farslood us instead, that it furnish ed us for a while, with a subject of conversa tion. On the 17th of July, the British of ficers on parole received each a card from the Governor, requesting the honor of Ins atten dance at a specified hour on the morrow, in the town hall. As rumors were already afloat touching the decided step that had been taken at Philadelphia, we were not without suspicion as to the purport of this meeting; and we hesitated for a while Hs to the sanc tion of our culinienance to a proceeding which we could not hut regtlM as truitorus Curiosity, however, got the better of our scru ples which,to say tiie truth.fftfeH] not rcry[well founded; audit wall resolved, after a brief con sultation, that the invitation ought to bo ac cepted. Accordingly, at the hour appointed* wc set out, arrayed in the full dress uniform of our crops, and became witnesses to a spec tacle which excited even in us fellings it would not, prehaps, he very easy to he define. As we passed through the we found it thronged in all quarters with persons of every age, aud both sexes. All were in their holi day suits, every eye beamed forth with de light, onjtl every tongue was in rapid motion. King street, and the other streets adjoining the Council Chamber, were lined with detach ments Irorn two battallions of infantry tolera bly well equipped; while in front of the jail, a brigade ot artillery was drawn up, the gunners standing by their pieces with lighted matches; nor, to do them justice,was their any admixture of insolence in tuojoy which seemed to pervade all classes. Whether our lengthened residence among them, and with the anxiety which we displayed never wantonly to offend their prer judices, had Keen red t heir esteem; or whethe they considered us beneath llie dignity of agrave people s anding in a position so crili cai,to vent llteirepleen tij/otj individuals entire ly at their mercyi Ido not know blip the mark edfrespect with which we were treated, built by soldier? and civilians could not bo under stood, The very crowd opened a lane fur us to the door of the hall, and the troops gave us as we mounted the steps the salute due to officers of otir rank. “On entering the Hall we found it occupied by functionaries, military, civil, and ecclesiasti cal; among whom the same good humor and excitement prevailed, as among the people out of doors. They received us with great frar k ness and cordiality, and allotted to us such stations as enabled us to witness the whole of the ceremony, which was as simple as the most republican taste could have desired.— Exactly us the clock struck one, Colsnel Crafts, who occupied the chair, rose; and si lence being obtained; read aloud the celebraj tbd declaration, wfriclf denounced to the vvorld that the lie of allegiance and protection « - hich bad so long held Britain and Iter North American colonies together was for ever sep arated. This being finished, the gentleman ctood up, and each repealing the words as they were spoken by an officer, swore to uphold, at the sacrifice of life, the rights of his coun try. Meanwhile, the town clerk rend from the balcony the declaration of independence to the crowds; at the close of which, a shout, begun in ball, passed like an electric spark to the streets, which rang with loud huz zas, the slow and measured boom of cannon., and the rattle of musketry. The, batteries oft I Fort Hill, Dorchester Neck, the Castle, Nap taeket, and Long Island, each saluted with , thirteen gqna— the arlillor /in the town fit ■ thirteen rounds, and the infantry, scaitex into tlerteen divisions, poured forth tin net volleys—alj corresponding to the number i States which formed the Uuion. What fp lowed may, be described in a few words.- There was it banquet in tho councd chambei . Where all the richer cit.zens appeared—wher much wine was drunk, and many appropriat toasts giveij. Large qu'Pmines of’liquor w. r distributed among Ihe rft’oh, whose patriotism of course, grew more anti more warm ut even draught; and when night closed in, thi darkness was effectually dispelled by a gen. eral and, what was termed then, a splendid illumination. 1 need not say that we nenhei joined, nor were expected to join in any of the festivities. Having ■ufliciemly gratified on curiosity we returned to our lodgings, ami passed the remainder ofthe evening in k frame of mind, such as our humiliating rind irksome situation might he expected to prbduce " Death of Murat.— The Court Martial sat, and whilst they were judging him, the King, who had ordered the Captain not to say u word in his defence, was quietly conversing with four oliicers, to whose care he had been entrusted. The last moments of his life were those of a herb, The Kng was still conver sing with the officers, when the door of his room was opened; the Recorder had come to inform him that he had been sentenced to death, and thalhisexecution was to take place in half an hour. The King; who had listened with great sang froid, sat down and wrote an affectionate letter to his wife, Queen Caroline; he then cut oft’several locks of hair, and hav ing enveloped them with the letter, ho deliv ered it unsealed to Cnpt. Sturogo, requesting him to transmit it to It s family, and also the seal of his watch, which would he found in his right liand after his death (it was a come lian reflecting the face o r his wife,) Ifc then said td lo the Recorder, “Do net wait any lon ger; Idm prepared to die." The King was then led out of his room—that is, ho only step ped out of the door, and beheld twelve sol diers drawn up who were waiting for him.—• He walked towards them with a steady step, and with a smiling countenance said, “soldiers! do not let me suffer pain; the situation you are placed in even renders it necessary lo fix the muzzle of your muskets on my bosom.”— He then pointed to his heart, and looked steadfastly at the seal which he held in his right hand. The twelve soldiers fired. Thus died King Joacnnn, at 4 o’clock on the even ing ofthe 14th of October.
