again at Daniel Wrbater,
We hoar a graat many complain ol the licentioasaeaaaad
immorality of the preaa, bat perhapa one of
th? moat remarkable apeaimena of the deinoraliza
tion of thid great institution of modern time* and
government, has jut been aet La motion by one act
ef politician! to destroy the leader of another.'
Every body knowa that immediately after tbe
election of General Harrison, there waa a certain
clique of nnaerupuloua peliticiuns, aecretly organised
all over the country, for the purpoae of controlling
the Preaident, and of ahaping future eventa to
their liking. When it began to be publicly known,
in the winter of 1&J0, '41, that Mr. Webater woald
probably be offerfd the State Department by General
liarriaou. thus aelf same chque, through their
organs, the Courier $c Enquirer, See., began to talk
of the propriety of Mr. W.'s refusing the appointment.
Mr. W< 1 afci.-'ti ukirg office 1, waa looked
upon with jealousy, and denounced in private by
tha same chque. Thinga went forward, in the courae
of time, and when the caon-skin cabinet exploded
ander the influence of the two bank vetoes, the
same eliqtu endeavored to cause Mr. Webater alao
to let go, come dowa from the tree, and giv* himself
up, aa the coon did when Capt. John Scott took
aim. But Mr. Webster was no coon, and kept his
hold up to this day.
In consequence of this tenacity of purpose, the
same clique of politicians have hooka out in a new
quarter, and have begun a moral war on tbe great
statesman, the first gun of which is the following,
from the Louisville Journal.
[From the Louisville JourtO.1
Akicdotc cr Dnnti. Whj:i*.-Ab eminently respectable
gentleman, from Washington city, has told us
an anecdote ot Mr. Webster, certainly authentic, which
proves thst, although hs is called '-the god-like,n he Is
qmie HMtUl UUe relioiui. eiuu ?i mui^ruagri
Wall,if we nait, we must.
Some week* ago, a highly reepectable young man
from Penwsy lvauis, who held a subordinate office under
Mr. Webater, in the Department of State, aurt who hod
hla young aud beautiful wife with him at Washington,
came to tho coLclusion, after conaulting with htr, that
hia very icant jr income was insufficient for their maintenance.
They knew not what to do: but thinking that
woman'* appeal might avail with the Secretary of State,
it was agreed that the wife ahould call upon him, and
elicit a more Iterative appointment for her huaband.
She accordingly called on him at the Department, and
made known her busin?*a in language of modest and
aimple eloquence ; concluding with the r? quest that
some clerkship might be given to her hu*band, in whioh
ihe, by her industry a* a transcriber, might add te hia
income. The burly Secretary gazed upon the pretty
face of the pleader, and gloated upon her voluptuotu
form, till Satan fairly took poasesaion of him. " Madam,"
aid he at last, while the Devil stood looking out of hi*
eye* as palpably as ever a man looked out ol a window,
* before I give yon an answer, 1 ahould like to have you
go into another room with me,aud let me see a specimen
oT your handwriting." Oh, oartaiuly, sir," said the
unsuspecting fair one. Thereupon, the Secretary atepped
into the next room, and the lady followed him. He
paused not there, bat passed to third room, and the 1 ady.
though a little surprised,lollowed him. Still ha stepped
not, but stalked into a fourth room, and the ladv,silent
and wondering, followed him. Then came the development
of thu mvstery. The Secretary closed the door,
and threw his brawny aims around the lady's waist,exclaiming,
"This, my dear, ia one of the prerogatives of
my office, and you need"?she waited not for him to
faith either the action or the sentence, but gave a terrific
scream, which instantly brought half a dozen clerks
o the room, among whom wa* her hutband. As they
msbed in, the old debauchee, we hardly iieed say,
ruhed oat!
The yuung man took hi* wife home; and the next day,
having In the mean time resigned hia oifioe, he called
upon Mr. Webster. Mr. W. initantly commenced an
bumble and abject apology; but the joung man cut him
short " Sir." *aid he, in a tone before which the Secretary
cowered, " I come not here for an apology. Your
iafamovi conduct admit* of none. You are an unprincipled
villain; and, were it not for your exalted atatlon in
thecouucilaof the country,I would ihiaiautant sacrifice
j ou to my Just vcngeance. Sir, 1 soorn you. and spit at
too." Having thn* unburdened himself, the injured hueband
turned upon hii heela.
Such ia the outrageous aad ridiculoua fiction
which ia put forward by George D. Prentice, the
editor of the Louliville Journal. This Prentice ia
a sort of a drunken poet, very much in want of the
Temperance Pledge, and no doubt he was in a state
of glorious intoxication when the libel was penned.
The story is utterly improbable on its face.?
The State Department at Washington, is crowded
with clerks, office seekers, politicians, loafer*, and
all sorta of people, so (hit it would be utterly iinpoaaible
for Mr. Webster to take a lady from one
room to anoth:r without being seen and heard by
hundreds. 11 there was any foundation for the story,
it was probably a trap laid to give some color to
an attack upon his private character.
The intense hate which a certain efuju:o( politicians,
who have their head in Kentucky aRd their
extremities every where, entertain to any prominent
man that may interfere with the " Magnus Apollo"
can be better imagined than described. Two
thirds ef the violent hatred with which certain
newspapers have assailed the New York Herald,
have originated in a political hostility, because
this journal was independent and fearless.?
For nearly two years a moral war has been
been urged against us, by this cKqtie?a war, utterly
reckless, unscrupulous, and beastly. But we have
survived it and came out of it triumphant. The same
elements of hate and beastliness have now concentrated
their force on the Secretary of S'.ate.and assailed
his private character?dopged his footsteps and
picked up the scandal of the day to destroy his repn_
tation and character. In this region of the country,
among 'the stews, it is possible that the Louisville
Journal may find congenial spirits?but if they proceed
far in thia horrible system of defamation they
will soon find their length and breadth.
Licentiousness of the press! There is nothing so
beastly as the morals and conduct of these political
diquts that are trying to get office and spoil;, any
how and any way.
The Loxg Lo?t President-?It is supposed from
the following extract from the log book of the brig
Poultney, Captain James Moult, ofBaltimore, that
the hull of this long lost steamer has at l?st been
seen.
July 31, 11 A. M. let 40 31, N. long. N l? W. from N.
York for Smyrna, passed a lurge nieca of wreck, sixty
feet long?thirty to forty wiJe, and looked like the broad
aide of a steam boot. It apoeaied to be part of the main
channels, having four dead eyes, with turned mouldinga
and long flat iron straps. Her hulk was black, with a
broad white streak,and large painted black ports. There
was a bite of a hauler over s piece of wood, apparently
part ofthe guard*.
The ill fated President was seen both here and in
Liverpool by the chief male ofthe Poultney, and he
unhetitntingly says that the' wreck passed was part
of that steam ship. Every thing about the wreck
plainly showed from their great six; and manufacture
that they belonged not to any merchant vessel
or a man of war, but to a largo steamer. We think
as the mate does, oa this point, and believe the
wreck seen to have been that of the unfortunate, ill
stared President.

some idea of the manner in which the Ixmcri i*

three from Ohio, one from Upper Canada,
two from Vermont, four from Connecticut, one
from Illinois, one from Wisconsin Territory, besides
half a dozen from different parts of this State.

Ten Days Later from Citing?Capture ot
another Celestial City?Progress of British
Affwulwi? Kind Vcellnp of Uu Emperor.
Another ahip came in from China yesterday,
| namely, the .Valparaiso, which sailed from Maeoo
on the 14th of October.
It appears that another Celestial city has been
knocked into a cocked hat by the guns of Kngland
Hingpo, the greatest commercial place in all China,
was captured after a brief fight. This city is situated
opposite the Island of Chmaa, and to the north
of Amoy.
It had been determined by Sir Henry Pottingaer
to go into winter quarters, after ibe tak'ng of Xingpo.
This will give the Enperor time to reflect.?
In the spring, nearly the whole British force will
commence operations faither to the north and penetrate
to Pckin. We do not believe his Celestial Majesty
will make any concession of consequent? till
that is done.
An edict had been received horn the Kmperor, ordering
the English to be treated with respect. This
was after the capture of Amoy, and shows the very
amiable feelings of his majesty.
With the exceDlion of the affair at Ninsoo. everv
thing appeared to be in the same atate as whea the
Probus sailed.
It is aaid that the Mandarine, to keep the Chinese
soldiers from ruuntag, when the attack was made
on Amoy, chained them to their guns. Than, whea
the English landed, the long qued Mandums took
to their heels, and left the poor soldiers at the mercy
of the enemy.
One Mandarin, just befoia the attack,, sent a flag
of trace to an English captain, stationed opposite
his fort, and desired to make an agieement that
neither should use balls, but to blaze away at each
other wilk powder. He said it woald please the
Emperor just as much as if balls were fired.
AU was quiet at Amoy.
There was a report when the Valparaiso sailed of
the lass of the armed steamer Madagascar, on the
east coast, and that the fleet.had suffered considerably
from haavy gales.
Fears were entertained at Macao (hat the Nerbadda,
transport, with one hundred and seventeen souls
on board, had been luat. A boat from her, with
thirty-three souls, chiefly soldiers, had been picked
up; they reported leaving the Nerbudda in a sinking
state, having driven over a large reef oft the north
end of Formosa. The boat had been eight days at
sea when picked np. The Nimrod sloop of war had
been sent in search of the Neibudda.
The mate and one of the hands of a British smuggler,
were decoyed on shore near Chuean and murdered
by the mandarins, in consequence of which
the crews of several of the smuggiiag vessels landed
and with the assistance of the crew of II. M.'s
steamer Phlegethon, burned a village and killed
all the Chinese they could find.
There had been a good deal of sickness in the
settlement at Macao, and many inhabitant and
Chinese had fallen victim* 4o a kind of influenza
which was travelling about.
We give below all the intelligence werth reading
Also some verses, hitting off Captain Elliot and his
negotiations.
iPYo* th? Cmtoa Press/Oe*. iUi to itth ]
We have no farther accounts of the movements
ol the fleet, although the Chinese say that letters
have been received dated the 7S:h of last month
from Ningpo. stating that city to have been taken
and destroyed by the English- There are reports
that an Imperial edict has lately been received in
Canton, of a pacific nature, but we have not been
able to trace this report to any satisfactory source,
nor are we inclined to put mucn faith in it, the indications
of hostile intentions being so much more numerous
and better authenticated. The forts near
Canton and the river are being repaired and garrisoned;
great quantities of guns and muskets nave
been of Tale purchased by the Chinese, and these are
even imported into Macao by British vessels. The
Chinese state it to be really a fact that Keshen has
been tried by a commission at Peking, found guilty,
and was to be strangled after the " Leihtaew" holidays
(7th August ) The Comprador was likewise
condemned to the ignominious punishment ofbeing
cut to pieces, and a mandarin wno had recommena
ed him to Keahen's notice was also to suffer
death. At the same time it is said that Lin is
about to be recalled from banishment and again received
into Imperial favor. All this looks not as if
the Peking government intended very soon to come
to terms. In addition to this we hear that a high
mandarin, late Viceroy of the Province of Hookwang,
has arrived in Canton to take chief command
over the troops at Canton, with whom it is said he
intends very shortly to reoccupy the position at the
Bogue- It is said that this new Commander who is
about to play a conspicuous part in the war, had for
some cause or 01 her incurred the Imperial displeasure,
and was about to be sent to the cold country to
keep Lin and Tang company, but he appeased his
master's wrath by a promise, that if the command
were given him, he wonld soon rid the Empire of
the invaders.
Bv this promise he has for the present avoided
punishment, but it seems very doubtfal that be will
oe able to kerp it. Every thing seems to portend a
long continued struggle, and we sincerely trust that
ih? irnvrmmrnt at home mav be nrrnarrd for it
and Mod out the necrmry rv in force menta. The
force at present in China and on ita way out aeema
ta Iw inadequate to theparpoaeait baa beenaent for.
Excepting a few and not heavy ahowera. we have
had no rain almoat aince the typboona in July last,
and the conaequenee haa been that the winter ricecrop
ia likely to be much injured by the continued
drought. Already rice, we are told, in ruling in
price, and ahould rain not come soon, the crop,
which ia generally cut in the middle of next month,
will be very acanty. During the laat five year* the
province of Canton at leaat ha* enjoyed a^wt abundant

Canton was, on the fth instant, as open to British
as to neutral merchant*; it is ao now, and we
think it will continue ao to be : any Britiah merchant
will be aa Bale in Canten aa any neutral: that
they do not chooae to go and conduct their business
thereiatheir own afiurj if, indeed, the llong merchants
were to flatly refuse to transact any business
with the Britiah moaehanta, then the blockade of the
port would become a new question baaed on entirely
new groundsthe trace and its terms would
not then be regarded- It is not improbable that this
refusal may soon be declared ; ana then the h- m.'s
officers will pursue that course which their dnty dictates.
It is becoming a singular spoliation, wh?t will the
end of this beginning of war with China. Our opinion
is that the Mtfatchow dynasty should be overthrown,
another placed on the tnroae, and China he thrown
open to all the world: thia end, we think, would be
infinitely prnferable than to possess any portion of
its territory under the present dynasty.
We are informed by a native that Yihshan and the
Governor are again recruiting tor stout and valiant
troops, and arming them with muskets, which we
expect they handle like cows.
Jt'dgs Noah's Return moat W.vshisotoh.?Our
ancient colleague and fellow sufferer, has just re
tamed from Washington, with a variety of new impressions
and idea*, and a whale budget ot anecdotes,
illustrating the cad condition of public affairs.
The Judge found the whig* in a Mate of
complete confusion?without order?without discipline?without
purpose?without prospect. The
locofocos appeared to be in better order,
aad took the drill much more kindly. The
Major visited the White House, and shook
handa with Captain Tyler, and, for any thing that
we know to the contrary, the following conversation
took place between the Captain and the Major i
Major Noah ?I hare seen it stated in some of
the papers, hostile to your administration of affairs,
that there was a difference of opinion between
yourself and Mr. Webster, and he would probably
soon leave the Cabinet.
Prkpidemt.?It is true, Major, that a difference of
opinion on some subjects, between myself and the
Secretary ef State does exist; but I trust that I
shall not, in cor sequence of this difference of opinion,
be deprived of his valuable services in the
Cabinet.
Major.?If my request i* not an improper one,
Captain, I should like exceedingly well to know the
important subjects on which you differ in opinion.
Prkmdent ? Oh, your request is by no means improper;
I will answer you honestly and frankly.
The most important subject on wbich we differ, aad
which division of sentiment, aa I said before, in my
opinion will not cause a dissolution of the Cabinet,
is thisMr. Webster is .food of making chowder;
for my own part, I prefer to open oysters!
Major.?I am very happy it is no worse, Captain.
There certainly is n difference between chowder
and oysters, on high constitutional grounds, bat it
ought not to break up, the cabinet, but I am very
positive that soim sush important difference in the
construction of th? constitution on chowder and
oysters, has entirely broken up the whig party in
Congress
" I think 00 too," replied Captain Tyler
On the whole, Major Noah returns from Washington,
with a keen tense of the atter impracticability
of the whig party?the superior discipline aad
tact of the locofocoa?and a very confused notion of
future events- The truth is, politics, piety, finance,
trade, every thing is undergoing a revolution at the
present day. Yea, even the climate ia changing?
April weather co i? upon us in midwinter, and the
whole world seema to be turning topey turvy. N.
B. For God's sake, don't let us be indicted for this
report, for we mean to be a* accurate as possible.
Steamboat Explosion.?Early yesterday, the
boilers of the steam tug boat Citizen exploded with
a tremendous noise, tearing up the after port of her
dsck, and otherwise damaging the steamer. She
had been towing a brig, and hud just left her off the
foot of Pike street, when the esplooion took place.
There, were four or five men and one female on
board, but none were killed, none were scalded,1
and only one slightly injured by n cut on the lip. I
was a most extraordinary escape. The steamer
Samson went to the assistance of the Citizen.
The Ikish and O'Connbll.?It is now generally
auppooed that there will be a complete revolution in
feelings of the natives of Ireland in this country towards
Haniel O'Connell The Irish have a fanatical
horror towards all abolition?all amalgamation?all
the colored race, if Daniel O'Connell attempts
to make abolitionists of the Irish in America,
he will find himself a small potatoe, and* vary pooi
one. _
Lt.orkur.n r? im Hmh Lira.?There is some small
- talk about elopements about these days, but we
find that the one recently published in a Philadelphia
paper, of ayoung lady, daughter of an ex-minister,
going off with a foreign mUmeki, ia nil wrong?in fact
mere fancy- There are elopements, but not that
one. ___
