df" We arr- compelled, by a prcwof interesting intelli

\ry o?r corr-vporidont - Stranger" writes u* from Wash

unless the right reserved to Congress to establish Branche?
without the consent of tbc States be stricken out We ha*.,
not room this morning for 'he reasons he gives, nor do ws.
think it necessary- to publish them. If the President shal
1?. constrained to Veto that important bill, he will doubtlesi
Mute Iis?, own reasons mote clearly than any one else car

on the subject.
We regret to add that our correspondent writes us that i
the Bank bill be taken up first, there is grc-tt danger thai
ihe Bankrupt bill will he lost. We trust he is mistaken <>r
this point, at any rate. However, we shall be rind to s<>e th?.
Bankrupt bill taken uji first, since such is its proper u..,i.-r.
DCf' The Whigs in Congress, it will he seen by our re

rejoice to see the (ieoreia Delegation where they should !??

arc wasted u[>on thefirm front and hearty union of the Whig.
We rejoice that tiiis bill has passed substantially in th?
sinnet reported and advocated by the able Chairman ?>f tin
Ways and Means, IL?n. Mii.i.aktj Fillxore. It is thu,
clearly and undeniably a Tariff of Revenue : but if Tea and
Coffee and various other articles not produced or rivaled ir
this country had bcon Stricken out, it would have worn the
sicmblance of Protection, i'hi- is not tin- time to open thai
Hubjecl; let it wait till thv regular Session, when Congresi
may *et about it deliberately, and give it a thorough invest!
gation. By tli? insane fractiouaness of Messrs. McKeo>
and RoosKvxti of this city, the proposition to appoint t
Select Committee of .Nine to investigate carefully the ?hol?
?subject of the Tariff, collecting the testimony of all practi?
cal men calculated to sln-d light upon it. has been defeated,
and Congress will have to wast's n month next winter to pro?
cure imperfectly what a Committee could hav.illected
much hotter in tin: reces?. tit one-tenth the cost. Very Iike,\
tili- act of her perverse Representatives may he the cause ol
serious injury to the interests of New-York.
There would have been some little popularity but no wis?

We i.j.i'u-c that Congress has made provision to commence

Illinois Bank Robbkrt?The Mss.vet Recovered.?
The Springfield (Illinois) papers of the ?;ki ult. bring us
news of iho recovery of the money (about $82,000) lately
stolen from ?he Illinois Branch of the Illinois Bank. It was
found secreted in a by-place by Col. Mather, President of
the Branch, upon the strength of intelligence conveyed to
him in an anonymous letter. Circumstances render it moral?
ly certain that the money was stolen hy Mr. Town, Teller in
thai Brunch, who was formerly from Connecticut, hut who
has lived ut Springfiold a id Jacksonville for ?everal years
ami borne n high reputation for integrity and business talent;
but it was looj since remarked that he lived extravagantly
on n salary of $600 a year. Recently. Mr. Rockwell, the
Cashier of the Branch, resigned, and Town wus a candidate
for his place; hut the Directors chose a man named Broth?
ers. Town, who lived in the Bank, probably resolved upon
the robbery of its vaults at once to revenge his defeat and to
cover his ow n depredations. The robbery took place (by
means of false keys, its wo* supposed,) about a week after
the now Cashier was appointed. He is now in jail at Spring
field, and the Stute Register suvs he has confessed pecula?
tions on the Bank through several years to the amount ol
$4,000. The bail demanded for him is $9,000, which his
friends are trying to luve reduced.
It appeals that, after Col. Mather had secured the funds
of the Bunk, he attempted to curry tbem to ?h,? Mothet
Bank .it Springfield: but. the tidings being noised about,
the citizens of Jacksonville pursued him, surrounded his
wagon and escorted him back to their own village?we
nupposeon a mandaunu from Judge Lynch.
Cj* We understand that James j. Roosevelt, M. C.
from this City, is exhausting his ingenuity in manoeuvres to
defeat the passage of the Bankrupt hill, and that he will
probably vsste ngtiinst it at last, after doing it all the mischief
he con by insidious amendments. This is just such a return
as the two thousand Bankrupts and ten thousand advocates
of Humanity who voted for him might have expected. Mr
Roosevelt must know thut in opposing a Bankrupt Law he is
grossly, cruelly misrepresenting his constituents.

for her in Tur-diy's papers. Stiil nothing was see a or heaid
of her till Wednesday, when Mr. H. 6. Luther and two other
gentlemen, whu wer- ;>as-inr; the >ybii*i Cave, near Castle
Point, Hohoken, in a sail-boat, were shocked by the sigh: of
the body of a young female in the water. They brought it
a?hore, n Coroner's Inquest waVsurnmoned, and it was proved
to be the body of Miss Rogers, and it was evident that *'r.c
had been horribly outraged and murdered.' The Inquest re
' turned a verdict of Murder by some person or persons un?
known.
We understand that the deceased w as a young woman of

A SLAVE CONSPIRACY !
.Ilrdifnts-rl In?mrr?Tlic?t '?*> Louisiana!
The New-Orleabs papers of the -3d ult. give accounts of
a formidable conspiracy of the Slaves of that State, which
was lo have broken out on the l?t inst. (yesterday) all along
. the Mississippi from Bayou Sara to Natchez. The Cotn
; mercial Bulletin sat i:
INTENDED REA'OLT OF 9LAVE3.
Intelligence was received yestetday by the packet ?tramor
i Clipper from Bayou Sara, of a sysit'tnat:7.ed plan on the part
of 'he tn cro-'s to rise upon and murder the whites. The
naws, greatly exaggerated in its repetition, has created quite
a sensation in town. The plain truth is certainly sufficient
1 to occasion serious apprehensions.
The particulars that we have received are these t
The overseer of the plantation of Robt. J. Bat row, of
We,t Feliciana, having occasion lo aris?- fr-m his bed late in
. j one of the recent hot nights, heard rrhat he believed to be
j negroes conversing in One of the quarters. On silently ap
proaching the vicinity and listening, be overheard two of the
I ?luves discussing the subject of a risins against the whites.
1 his led to the examination the next morning of the two lel
: iw s. when they confessed the fact, and cave inf-.>rntr.ti'in that
led to the arrest of several others-. Tht alarm was imme?
diately spread abroad, arrests were made in various planta?
tions, and it was found by the confessions that they all agreed
in the main Facts, that there was t? be a general rise, and
i that the first of August was the day agreed upon.
A white man. a carpenter, who had lately done a job of
I work (?r Mi. Harrow, was also arrested on suspicion, end
I examined. He said he had nothing to Jo with the plot ?
that he had never s? ill any thine to the negroes on the sub?
ject, but acknowledged that they frequently spoke to him,
and informed him all about it.
Tins white man, with about 40 negroes, all of whom had
confessed their knowledge cf the intended t isinc. were in the
jail at St. Francisville, guarded by u company of volunteers.
Their examination by a competent tribunal, was to have
ci mmenced yesterday at 10 A. M.
At Woodville, we [earn numerous slaves were confuted in
I the jail, having confessed to the same facts as those arrested
j ia Feliciana.
Capt. Laurent states that on stopping at Paint Coupce, to
communicate information of the situation of the affairs above,
several gentlemen recollected occurrences of recent date
which tended to confirm the suspicions that the slaves of
their section were parties lo rise wicked plot. Duct. ??
said he hud been asked what day of the month it was. by
ni ire negroes, within thp last ts-n days, than in seven years
before?and there had been unusual assemblies of the slaves,
i.i rather bye-places, for several Sundays past.
Some of the negroes have confessed that the combination
was from Bayou Sara to Natchez.
ll may not be amiss to remark, that the plantations in Fe?
liciana and Wilkinson county from which the slaves were
taken who are imprisoned, are owned by the m ?st wealthy
and respectable planters ol the State, w hoso kind and hu?
mane treat mem of their slaves is proverbial.
FA HI II HR PA It TIC V LARS.
The Bulletin of the same date says t
\t the time of the departure of the Clipper, Ilie greatest
onsternation prevailed at Bayou Sara and the neighborhood,
mil tho inhabitants were armed and maintained a constant
watch. The negroes were lo be tried on Wednesdays and it
was believed that u short shift um! e sprrdy doom would be
twarded to the guilty.
In addition to this intelligence, we find in yesterday's
Courier some statements corioborutiug the above. A con?
siderable number of slaves, says that journal. Bed to the ra?
llies and swamps as soon as they heard of the arrest of the
leaders. Many slaves among the plantations in the neigh?
borhood of Woodville (Miss.) had been apprehended. The
? lourier publishes the following letter from n respectable in
'.abilant. dated "Points: CotrrBE July 1!>, IMI.
?? The negroes on the other side of the river?say Bayou
Sara and environs?have had a regular conspiracy. It was
to have broken out some days since, hut owing to the illness
of the leader, it was poet pone d. La?t evening was to have
been their final meeting, and then waf to have commenced
?heir massacre; hut fortunately some of the confederated
-laves informed their masters. A body of men was imme
liutoly raised at Bayou Sara, and some 1.5 or '20 of the
leaders have been arrested, ami will no doubt be tried and
executed immediately. This i? no humbug.
"Send me up a dozen of your best Bowie knives.
" l\ S.?It appears to have been a regularly organized
conspiracy from this place to Natchez., (nearly \b0 miles of
toast.) The leaden have been white men, one of whom is
i.iw in jail tit S:. Francisville, und w ill no doul>t be executed.''
W ,? find another letter on tke French side of the Courier,
j dated July -Jlst. giving the following details:
?? W e have bad u negro insurrection, or rather it was on
he point of breaking out. w hen the plot was discovered. All
the white population from Natchez to Baton Roug", and all
he negroes refusing to join the insurrection, were to bu as
j sassinated.
" There are in our prison22negroes who have been given
' iy by their musters; about a dozen more are exprcted to
j lay, to i?o examined and tried. While men air implicated
in this set vile plot, and were to have been the principal lead?
ers. One oj them was taken yesterday near Jackson t he is
: safe in prison with the negroes. A rumor prevailed ye-ter
i iay thnt be would be hung without form of mal. Since Sai
! tirday, no one lias slept. The militia and citizens keep guard
! around the prison, und the patrol maintain an uctive
: -vntch. Sic."
It is possible that before our paj>er goes to press, further
?<irt culttrs may l.e received?tf so. we shall hasten to luv
hem before ouriender-. The next boat ssii! pro1, ably bring
is accounts of the result of ihe trial of the slaves.

J The Land Distribution Bill from the House now came un

: Committee) gave notice that he should not cull tor its con

The House bill to establish a Home Squadron came up
j next in order. Mr. Bentor. rhtJved an araendtneitl requiring
I that American Hemp shall lie used as the staple of its sails
j and cordage. This ameudmeut was, after some discussion,
withdrawn, ami the bill con-idervd in all its stages and
P*-sed. The Senate then adjourned over to Monday.
In th-' Hut s;:, a great many memorials and other paper,
were presented, but. objection being ma.de, they could not
be received at this time. Among these wen' the Resolutions
of the National Hail Meeting in favor of a Bank; the Albany
Meeting in favor of a Bankrupt Law. Sec. presented by Mr.
BERNARD. Mr. B. also endeavored to have the Bankrupt?
cy bill from the Senate taken up, read twice anil printed :
but this also was refused, as interfering with the prescribed
i order of business. So the House proceedod to take up the
J motion of Mr. W W. Irwin; uf Pa. to reconsider the vote
j bv which it had been determined to take the Revenue bill
j out of Committee at 12 o'clock this day. Mr. I after a few
remarks, withdrew his motion, asking only that his proposi?
tion to tepen! the pre.cnt exemption of Railroad Iron frnm
dutv be considered.
The Revenue Bill was take:; np
Mr Wish spoke his hour, and Mr. Keim of Pa. briefly,
; against it.
Mr. FlLLMORE followed in defenceof the bill. He showed
? that m?n- Revenue was absolutely necessary; that a ger.cr
i til impost of 20 per cent., excepting only a few specified ar.
tides for obvious reasons, was the fairest and best trlodu of
' providing it. until full evidence could be obtained-on tho sub?
ject. Ho considered the proposed exemption of Tea and
I Cot.ee unwise and objectionable; the consumers would hard
' ly know that 2(1 per cent, was levied unless told of il, while
! it would ndil $2.ODO,O0? t<> tho Revc-nun. A temporary ex?
emption was worse stili: it would till our stoie-houses with
ti two yen;.' supply of Coffee : and when the duty took
effect, the price would rise lo the actual value: so the Rev?
enue will have lost all. nnd the con.Miners gained nothing;.?
He trusted gentlemen were prepared to vote frankly and
cheerfully the supplies needed for the support of the Gov
ernmunt and Defence of the Country.
[ Mr. F. was called to order in the midst of his remarks by
Mr. SnYDER of Pa. The Speaker decided that he was not
out of order. Mr. S. appealed, and the House sustained the
. Speaker's derision.]
The haur of 12 having arrived, the debate was arrest?
ed by rule, and the H"uso proceeded to vote on the vurious
propositions of amendment.
Mr. AtHERTON's motion to sliike out th- enacting clause
was negatived: Ayes 82; Noes 119.
The question was now nn Mr. Lawrence's amendment
' tu exempt Tea and Coffee from dnty.
Mr. CLIFFORD of Me. moved lo add " Sugar, Molasses and
Snlt:" which prevailed: 112 to 84.
The uhole amendment whs now rejected: 112 to o7.
Mr. FlLLMORE moved that the new dutius tako effect on
I the 1st of September: Carried.
An extraordinary nutnbei of small amendments were suc?
cessively offered and nearly nil rejected ; among them one to
, teduce the duty from 20 to 111 per cent.: ?nc to exempt
woolen blankets costing under 76 cents ; one proposing du
: ties on French Wines and Silks retaiiateiy of thnt levied on
. our Tobacco. Several attempts were made to limit the ef
, feet of the bill to iwe, two nnd a half, and three years, but
; neither prevailed. Finally, the amendments being all dis
posed of, the Committee rose and reported the bill, and the
; question wus now on ordering it to a third i ending.
Mr. Cave Johnson of Tenn. moved thnt the bill and
amendments do lie on the table.?Negatived: Yeas89 Oppo?
sition, and Messrs. Gilmvr, Wise of Vu. and Shields of Tenn,

State Prison Lahor?The Mechanics of Tray held

Whereat, the State Legislature did. on the call of the
people, pass a law in the year 133.3. forbidding the agents of

trude than came to prison posse.s.;d ot such trade; and
whereas, the Mechanics of the Suite, in consideration of-aid
law, did make investments in materials and machinery, to
: secure themselves the profits of their labor, looking forw ard
to the tune when that system, ?o oppressive to their inter?
ests, would be abolished, and thereby leave them a fair
chance for competition with each other; and whereas, ihe
violation dailv practiced of the law of 1335. passed as a cotn

Mechanic, and calls foe the severest denunciation: and
: "hereas. the rrrost-cst fraud is practiced under the misera

WATER COMMISSIONERS es. COMMON COUNCIL?
That difficulties have existed between the \\ ater Commis
sioner* and the Common Council i-. I believe, notorious.
One of the charges made by the Commissioners ?as that the
Common Council were paying too rt ucH for pipc4ar/%ng. and
tl at ;: ought to be done much cheaper.
I am informed, from undoubted authority, that :t has cost
the City for most of the pipes laid $1S00 per mile for J g
gins the trenches, and in consequence of the stand taken by
the Commissioners, it has resulted in a contract being mad--,
hy which it is done fbt about $M0 per mile, making a clear
savmr ut" $1,160 on each mile.
I also understand that there is one person who on a con?
tract had already made twenty mile*, and whoso contract has
expired, is now progressing in the business and receiving
$1,000 per mile, without any agreement by the proper Com?
mittee. .Vier pocketing $1.160 for every mile more than it
should have cost, is this man to be allowed lo continue h;
depredations cm the unsuspecting citizens who Lave to pay
f-r all this extravagance and waste, for no other reason than
to pm money into die hands of a political favorite ?
If the Water Commissioners were allowed to lay those
pipe* it would s.ne the City a large >um of money. It the
true state of the case could hav- been placed before the Peo?
ple at the Spr.ns Ejection, the present Common Council
would have U'pti Whig. Tax-payers ' how !r?ng will you
