Baltimore, October 21.—Mr. Hyde, whose trunk
was recently stolen from the Northern Stage, near Rich
mond, returned lo this city on Saturday. He informs us
dial lie has recovered of die $28,880, all but $255, which
it is supposed the robber, (a colored slave, named’ Lewis
Miner,) who lias as yet eluded the efforts to apprehend
him, has upon Ids person. $12,370 of the amount was
picked up by a man named Yarringimi, a carpenter, in an
open field, about a quarter ol a mile from Richmond, con
tained in a package in the same slate in which it was lost,
who nobly returned the same promptly to Mr. H. Dur
ing the afternoon or Thursday a lad named Charles Pur
cell, employed in Ihe Lottery Olfice of Mr. O. H. Tomp
kins, railed upon Mr. Hyde, and staled dial a colored man
had offered a $50 note in payment for tickets, believing it
to be a $3 note. This led lo a suspicion ol his be
ing concerned in the robbery, and an inquiry as lo his
name and residence, when it was ascertained his name
was Mina, and that he lived with his mother on
Shockoe Hill, and was a slave of Doctor Briggs. This
house was selected as the first to be searched, and near
ly all the content* ol both trunks were found upon die pre
mises. The clothing was secreted in all parts ol the house
and yard. Nearly th* whole yard was dug up to the
depth of two feet, and money to the amo mi ol $ltf,0t>6,
was found tiuiied in a small dunk which belonged to one
. ol Ihe ladies owning the other lost trunk, and had con
tained her jewelry. &c. Much el die clothing of Ihc la
dle*, and ol Mr. H., was also found buried there. $205
ot the money was found concealed iti a razor box in llio
garret. I lie mother ol Mina, the only peraon in die
house when Messrs. Mickle and Hyde, of die police, and
their parly entered, had some of the clothing concealed
shout her person, and was l.iken oft'to he Cage Mina.il
is said, was branded in the hand, and received thirly-nine
la-lies, lor a similar ollence at Fredericksburg. The old
woman stales (hat he had two or three accomplices, but It
is not believed that they were aware of the contents ol
the trunks. Mr. H. speaks in high terms of the perse
verance ami untiring ex*r ions of Mr. E. Mickle, nnd al
so of Mr. Deputy 8herifl' Carter, and Mr. Page, ol the
Police.— Chronicle.
We are much gratified to state, that Mr. Hyde, the
gentleman whose trunk was cut from the baggage rack
ol the Mail Coarh, near Richmond, on the 13 h inst., has
recovered, with the exception ol about $200, the whole ol
the very large sum it contained. Twelve thousand eight
hundred dollars were found near the road, in the vicinity
oi the city, on Wednesday, and about $14,000 more, on
Thursday night, in the yard of a negro man. He tender
ed to a Lottery broker a $50 bill, in payment of a ticket
which he had bought, supposing it to he only $5.—Upon
being apprised ol the amount, he manifested much con
tusion, and ran oil, and has not yet been taken. His pre
mises were searched, and alter considerable diligence was
used, the money was found buried in the yard. Mr.
Hyde has published a card, expressive ol his grateful sense
ol the interest taken in his loss, and the great zeal and ac
tivity of tho police, and the citizens generally, in recover
ing the money.
It may not be uninteresting to state, that the negro was
Mr. Alsop’s Lewis, who formerly lived in Fredericksburg,
and who was suspected at the lime, ol being concerned
in robbing the stage of baggage, on several occasions,
three or lour years ago, in ibis vicinity.—Fred. Arena.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRK AT~SOMERSET, PA.
Office of the Somerset Patriot, )
October 16, 1832. J
Since our paper was woiked ofl, we have to record one
of the greatest calamities that has ever occurred by fire
in any village o( the same size.
Ibis morning, at half-past two o’clock, the cry of fire
was heard by the citizens of this town. It w as discovered
to be in the house owned by J. F. Cox, Lsq , and occupied
by several families, and by several mechanics, a* sh pa
In a lew momenta it spread ilUo an awful conflagration, se
cond only to that wlrrli laid Cumberland in ru ns a lew
months age. With inconceivable rapidity, it spread both
e is! and west, and nolwi hstanJing he most energetic ex
ertions were ma le by lit • citizens lo subdue ii, its prog>e*s
was not sensibly arres'ed until every house between the
street which crosses Ma n street, at Judge Kurtz’s, and Main
cr.»ss s'reet, was enliiely consumed.
A bout day light. Captain Webster’s hotel, on one side of
Msiin street, atnl the hou.*cof J. Snyder, H«q. on the other,
woie enveloped in Haines.
All chance of saving the remainder of the town was
then seen to be desperate; Imt, through the united
exertions of the citizens, much valuable property was pre
served.
We have no incans of ascertaining the lo*s; it must he
immense. Upwaids of thirli/ J amities are turned home

in ashes was the most husiness-dniiig and populous, as well
as llte most valuable. Stores, offices, shops, taverns_all
have been consumed. Many ol the store goods of Messrs.
NefI &. Stall, Mr. Michaels and Mr. Snyder, have hern
saved. Some private families have lost their all. Some
have saved much of their furniture.
..." e should suppose the whole loss not less Ilian ONE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Baltimore, Oct. 19.—The noble ship Hark away.'
whose launch wo announced a short time ago, has just
completed her outfit, ami will sail from this port to-mor
row, to take her place in the line now about to commence
running regularly between James River anil Liverpool.
Our city has turned out a number of first rate ships with
in a few years past, the whole of which will compare ad
vantageously with a like number of any oilier poit in (lie
world, in model, materials, masterly construction ami out
fit. Ol this class i* the llark away! which we are wil
ling to have regarded, any where, as a lair specimen of
die ability of our rity in the production of vessels for the
mercantile service. Her length is about 1 HO feet, her
beam, 3'l feet, anil hold 21 leet. Her burthen is
nearly six hundred tons. Being designed mainly lor a
Ireighl ship, her model has ol course been adapted to
that object, hut without losing sight of another es
sential quality — that of rapid sailing. She appears to com
bine most happily these two requisites, ami, if we ate not
greatly mistaken, will more Ilian realize the expectations
of her enterprising owners. The cabin, containing six
state rooms with two berths in each, is elegantly finished
w ith mahogany, satin wood, ami curled and bird's-eye ma
ple; it is furnished In a corresponding style, and seems to
embrace every arrangement which can conduce lo the
comfort and enjoyment of passengers. In her construe
tion ami outfit she has been superintended by Captain R.
Fisher, her gentlemanly commander, of whose ability and
experience in the line of his profes-ion, l'<e ship is, per
haps, one of the most conclusive evidence*.—American.
The Caledonia, — the twin-ship of the Hark-away! is
of precisely the same description in all respects, and tie
signed (or the same line, will be launched in a few days.

Yonk Tow tv.—The volunteer companies of our Ho
rough turneil out on Saturday in their best style, to do
honor to the Anniversary of ihe Surrender of York town
''it the 19ih of October, 1781—an event wlm h terminated
in a hlar.e of glory our long ami arduous struggle for na
tional independence. The display was unusually impo
sing, and rendered more attractive hy Ihe addition of a
new and superbly uniformed company, called die ,‘JV*w
/s/ir ftijlemrn,” which marie its first appearance on lids
occasion I bis elegant corps is officered by Capt. James
'V||liam«on, lalottt. Jonathan R. Hodges, and Ensign W il
liam Delany, and does great credit to the mi'itary pride
and patriotic spirit ol our young lnen. Alt r one ot (he
best parades we have ever witnessed ol onr democratic
troops, the companies a'meridian fired a salute in hand
some s-yle, and dismisetl In the evening another salute
was fired by a detaehm»nt ol Capt. King’s |,igM Ar'illery
blues, which they follower! up by a brilliant display of
rockets, lie.
The members ol the Blues forming this detachment,
are desirous to express their warm thanks to Henry A«h
fcurn, Est|. for his polite and hospitable tender ol refresh
ments.
1 he day being also ihe Anniversary of the Independent
Volunteers, that company gave a Dinner to their beloved
and respected e* commander, Capt. J. (’apron, at Johnson’s
Hotel, as an evidence ol their warm attachment and live*
» JX »««•• ol l»isservices during a period of twenty years
The Dinner was provided by Mr. John Johnson, at the
“Norfolk House,” in a first rate style, and was attended
by the officers of the other volunteer companies—among
whom we were happy to recognize those ortho newcorpi
ot “jYor/olk Light Dragoons,” which was deprived ol the
pleasure of joining the parade in consequence of not being
j uniformed. The officers, however were in the unitorm ol
the corps, which i« the moat splendid we have ever seen.
The entertainment pa«sed off with the greatest harmony
and good humor.— W« have never seen the convivial
board heller chastened by good ortler, at lire same time
that it was enlivened to the utmost by hilirity and social
mirth. Not having time to give the loist* and oilier par
J tienlar* of the festive occasion, we must defer them nil
I our next.
*1 he Junior Volunteers partook of a supper, in honor ol
the ocrasion, which was also provided by Mr. Johnson, in
his usual handsome manner, and which we Icatn passed off
witli great satisfaction to the company.—Heiald.
MR. CLAY’—AT PROVIDENCE.
Without any allow of military parade, says the Provi
dence Journal, without any expectation of a public enter
tainment of any sort—the mere entry of this private riti
zen upon the shores of our city, was hailed will, a cordi
ality and delight, such as has never before been witness
ed bare on any similar occasion.
A largo concourse assembled in front of the City Hotel,
wailing for his presence in the balcony. Ifo did not ap
pear lor a long time, nor until he was with great difficulty
prevailed upon, when the call was loo emphatic and per
, severing lobe denied. He just stepped to the front, bow
ed and retired. The welkin rung with cheers ; and the
intenseness ol public curiosity, respect and admiration has
been demonstrated, notwithstanding his grest aim lias ob
viously been, throughout his jouruey to avoid all ostenta
tion and display. Dnring the forenoon he was waited upon
by great numbers of the most respectable citizens ot Pro
| vidence, and among others who solicited an introduction,
wero the President and Prolessor of Brown University,
and the Hon. Tristam Burgess—and the interview of the
latter with the Orator of the West is spoken of as of s
character to indicate that sound-headed statesmen may
have enough ol magnanimity to differ on a tingle point of
national policy, without incurring personal animosity.
After visiting several of 'he manufacturing establish
ments in the afternoon—passing through the streets, aud j
taking a general view of the city, he alighted at Brown i
University, and examined the library, ptiilo«ophical ap
paratus, and other interesting apartment* of the institu- '
tion; all of which he appeared to no'ice with much plea
; sure, end many eoinp'iinenfary remarks. Before leaving
the University, he was presented, by Dr. Wa) land, to the
students, wl o were assembled in the Chapel, and who
manifested the strongest testimonials of gratitude and re
spect. After 7 o’clock in the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Clay
received the salutations of a great number of geuileinrn
and lailies at their draw ing room. He atlen'led church on
Sunday forenoon wi h his family, at the first Baptist Meet
ing House; but owing *o the inclemency of the weather,
did not go out in the afternoon.
At the City Hotel, Mr. Clay w»» met by a Committee
from Boston, who tended him the warm wishes and hos
pitality of that city. Mr. Sullivan, the chairman, is said
to have addressed him in a very complimentary but deli
cate manner, anil that Mr. Clay returned a most felicitous
reply.
Mr. Clay was to breakfast at Pawtucket, on his way to
Boston, and to visit the principal manufactories of that
flourishing village.
The following correspondence passed between Mr. j
Clay and the Chairman of the Committee appointed to in- I
vite and receive him at Providence.

you, enclosed, a copy.
Be assured, sir, that their hearts are in their arts:—that
amongst the most pleasant incidents ol their lives they
would estimate an opportunity to tender, in person, their'
salutations, their hospitality, and testimonials of their sin
cere respect, lo a gentleman whom they have been ac
customed lo regard as the early, eloquent ami able advo
cate el tbe true system ol American policy; and as a Patri
ot and Statesman whose, public sets, fostering tbe re
sources ot American power, contributing to the honor of
the American character, and endearing the American
name to tbe friends of rational freedom and of good govern
ment in both hemispheres, will forever form an admired
and distinguished portion of the history of our country.
Permit us, then, with our fellow citizens, whom we re
present, and in whose sentiments tve most cordially parti
cipate, to hope that your journey may be ao arranged, as
to lead you lo the State of Rhode Island, and to enable you
lo visit the city of Providence;—in which hope, we re
spectfully request the favor ol your company at a Public
Dinner in ibis city, on such day as will best suit your
convenience; of which and of the probable lime ol your
arrival here, you will have the kindness to advise us by
I letter. In the mean time, accept our assurances of
the pleasure with which the members of this Committee

MR. CLAY'S ANSWER.
Dear Sir—I received at New York on the 17 li in
stant, both the original and duplica e letters which you had
done me the honor to addisss to me at that city and Phil
adelphia, respectively, transmitting a copy of the resolu
tions adop'ed at a meeting of the citizens of Providence,
by which I was invited to visit this city. Not having an
entiie control of my time and movements, I thought it
be t to postpone an-wering your Irivndl communication
until my artival here. And I now ha* eu lo express my
thanks for the la vm able consideration of me, which indu
ced the meeting, ot whom you are the ogan, to give me
a proof so distinguished ol their esteem and confidence;
for the eiithnsi.ism w hich ha* marked my reception ; and
for the cordial hospitality which has been extended to my
i family anil myself. Nor can I suppress an expression ol
, (he graifiration which I have derived, from a survey, in
; this prosperous place, of the rich ami abundant fruit* of that
true policy of our government, w hich inculcate* reliance
upon our own ample resources and undoubted skill, rather
i Biari dependence upon foreign supplies. If 1 had ever I
l doubted tbe wisdom ol that policy, heretofore, the many
proofs which I have seen of it* effects, during my present
journey, would have banished my doubts.
I request sir, that you will communicate to your con
stituents my grateful acknowledgment* for the warm
hearted manner with which, in numerous way«, and by
all classes, ages, sexes and parties, my arrival in Provi- j
I deuce has been welcomed. 1 regret that I am restrained,
by several considerations, from accepting the honor ol a
public dinner, by which (hey were dosirous of further
testifying their kind feeling* toward* rue.
And I also request that, lor the polite and delicate man
ner in which you have conveyed the sentiment* of the
, marling you represent, you will acrept my cordial ac
knowledgments, and with them, assurances of the high
respect and regard with which I am, most truly,
Your fiiend and obedient servant, H. CLAY.

, ATTORNEY GENERAL of the U. States.
The render will perceive a paragraph from the W.
( Globe of Thursday last, announcing the appoint
ment of Peter V. Daniel, Esq., of this city, ns Atlor
! t»«y General of the If. States. We understand that
this gentleman took the stage for Washington on
i Sunday last—mid we shall leurn in the course of n
1 few tluys, \v!:c»t..,r |(e accepts or declines the ap
pointment which has thus lieen honorahly tendered
to him by the President of the If. Slates. lie is anx
ious, we understand, to obtain the information which
no one here can inquirt to him—about the extent of
its duties, the perquisites which may belong to it,
and the leisure which it may allow him for other
practice at the Imr. This is the third office which
has been offered him by Gen. Jackson—without uny
solicitation on his part, or on the part of his friends,
j lie declined the two others without difficulty—and
we know, that were Mr. D. to consult his own wish
es, he would equally put by the present appoint
ment. It is still very uncertain, what course he may
take on the present occasion. Yet has he been un
ceremoniously chnrged with otfice-himting—and
with an ambition which knows no bounds or dis
cretion.
We have been disgusted, but wo cannot say sur
Crised, at the coarse and illiberal remarks, which have
een made in tlie public prints here and elsewhere, I
upon the qualifications of Mr. Daniel. He is u gen-1
tleman of a strong mind, of great firmness of cha
racter, of the most untiring industry, and the most
unblemished integrity. We have liefore us a testi
monial in his favor, so creditable to him, ami so well
calculated to arrest the torrent of vitiqienition
which his enemies are pouring upon his head, that
we cannot hut republish it, in justice to him, ns well ns
to the administration. It is from one, who knows
Mr. Daniel well, both as u lawyer, a politician, and u
•nan. It is a portion of Mr. Benjamin Watkins
Leigh’s s|teech, in the Virginia Convention, oil Dec.
9, 1829—and runs as follows :
•• I have been told a thousand time*, since the Conven
tion assembled—I do not mean in open debate, nor do I i
mean that I have been 90 told by tlie gentleman from
Fauquier—for he avows himself a convert, in Mine me*-!
•tire, in respect to an Executive Council.—I have been i
told, that the Council is a useless body, a set of loiterers, J
whose office is little better Ilian a sinecure. I shall not i
reflect on the motives of this denunciation: I shall only
say, that my observation and experience do not justify the
truth of it. I shall not affirm, that this Council lias al
ways been tilled with the ablest and most expeiienced
men in the Stale : but 1 do affirm, that it lias always been
filled by men competent to their duties; and that those du
ties have been, in the main, wisely and prudently, and
always honestly, discharged. The office lias been held
by men, two ol whom have since filled Ihe office ol Pre
sident, and one that or Chief Justice ol the United States.
The ablest men of Virginia have been'in the Council:
and I shall take occasion to say, that the present Lieuten
ant-Governor (I mean the gentleman, who, being ilie
oldest Councillor, is charged with the duty of Lieutenant
Governor,) is in point ol capacity, abundantly fit for the !
management of the affairs of this State, or any other State
in the Union; and, in point ol firmness, integrity and vir
tue, there is not a man in the Commonwealth that would
he disparaged by a comparison with him.”
The gentleman, here spoken of by Mr. Leigh, was
Peter V. Daniel, Esq., then the Lieuteuant-Gover- j
nor of Virginia.
THE VOICE OF THE SOUTH.
Signs are frequently appearing to confirm the opi
nion of the N. Y. Evening Post. “It is not by any
means certain that Dr. Cooper’s new views in rcla- I
tion to the Dank of the United States will he em- !
braced by the body of the party to which ho he- j
longs. There is a certain respectability nnd grace
in consistency which nil men are not willing lightly
to part with.”—This negative statement, however,
falls short of the reality. We have direct nnd posi
tive testimony before us, that I)r. Cooper will he
abandoned, on this question, at leaHt,hy the Nullify- |
mg Myrmidons, whom he has hitherto conducted. 1
We have the 2d No. of “Turnbull” in the co
lumns of the Columbia Telescope. After stating
the six arguments, which he quotes from Cooper’s
“Essays on the Dutlk,” Turnbull subjoins this vigo
rous protest:
•*I will IhIcc up these arguments, in their onler. I.et
me fiisl, however, a.-k every mmi to review them, codec
lively, and nay, whether they offer one single reason, i
directly addicted to the merit* or truth of the question?_I
Whether they contain one motive, lor supporting the Bank, i
which is not of the most merely temporary and illusiv'e
charactei ? II such are to enlist us against our own cause
—against our own reputation—in lavor ol the Bank, ran
we not (I ask) find a thousand, equally strong, and of the
same nature in behalf of the Tariff, Internal Improvement,
the Supreme Court, Consolidation, or any tiling else that
we most abhor? No man can answer me, nay: not I)r. i
Cooper himself can gainsay it. But I proceed to his argu
ments.” ”
One more pnssnge from Turnbull, which, how
ever, softens down the truth, lie is spenking of “the
close of Cooper’s Preface, justifying the Bank-suh
sidics to the Press”—and Turnbull adds, (though
we solemnly protest against the proposition he lays
down in the first sentence)—“ To tlio hostile power
nnd money of the President, the Bank might fairly
have opposed its own strength of influence and
funds—provided, always, that this was openly nnd
fairly done. The very contrary is grossly the fact.
It is in proof, in a manner that cannot be disputed,
that the Bank, when formally called on, for infor
mation upon this very matter, made an utterly false
and fraudulent report—declaring itself to have only
expended in this way some six thousand dollars;
while it had secretly disbursed, for this very pur
pose, the enormous sum of near 40,(MX) dollars! Is
this to he excused? Will Dr. Cooper defend so
gross a deception as this? In the end— the object— |
they wero justifiable; but the method \vliic!« they
have chosen to employ is certainly a most dishonest
one.”
f But let us call oilier witnesses against Judge
Cooper’s doctrine, into court. Here are the two
most active Editors for Nullification, in the States of
S. Carolina and Georgia.—What says the Charles
ton Mercury?
"We observe that I)r Cooper’s pamphlet, and the just
Indignation m»-ii tested by the whole Slate Rights Pres* in
this State, at the removal of the Deposiles, ha* produced]
the impression amongst the Rank papers at the North that
the vote of South Carolina will certainly be given in lavor
of the re-chaiterol the Hank. We think that thi* is a mis
take.—Our delegation may he reluctant to gratify the ma
lignity ol (Jen. Jackson, and apprehensive that by voting
against the present institution, they will ba preparing llw
way for one as unconstitutional and more dangerous by re
moving an impediment to the consummation of the grand
scheme of the unprincipled Albany Regene v; but we are of
opinion that with the exception of .Mr. M'J). tliei/will vote
against the re charter, on the. principle of not doing evil
to avoid danger. They will vote sfririly against every
infringement of the. Constitution, and if the defeat of a less,
is followed by a greater infraction-having opposed both,
they will have washed their hands of the sin of trampling
on the Constitution. Since bo'h the Van Boren and the
Batik Parties are fighting again*! the Constitution, Sonlh
Carolina ran league with neither, though she believes the
former to he by far the most unprincipled and dangerous
enemy. ” *

ALABAMA.
The reply of Secretary Cass to the Governor of!
Alabama occupies so much space in otir paper of,
this morning, that we are roiiqiclled to lay overae-j
vend matters, selected and original, for our next.—
The subject is acquiring new interest every hour—
What was yesterday a spot in the Heavens, “no liig- |
ger than your hut,” is dilating itself into a dark and
angry cloud—mid unless it bo dissipated by n little
delay anil hy great moderation in both parties, it
may harst in fury nnd desolation upon our land. I
The Columbus Knqtiirer furnishes new move-1
ments in the matter. We thought it bad enough
that there should be a threatened collision between
the military authorities of the State and the United
States. But there is a new question getting up of
elashing authority between the civil authority of
Alabama nnd the military power of the U. States. -
The following is the lust information we possess: 1
“The •‘trouble* in the wigwam” on the oilier siile of the
Cliattahorliee seem to srciuiiula'e a* they draw to a focus
Next week we understand the U. S. troeps t^ke up the
line of march from Fort Mitchell, to expel the intruders1
upon public land* in the Creek Territory. The intruders,
it i* said, are determined to keep po*se«aion, while the
commander at Fort Mitchell lias positive order* to remove
them. Time will show ua the issue.
-in me memniine mere i- an underplot going on, which
excites considerable interest in this neighborhood. W’e
st .le the facts a- they we/e furnished to us, believing them
to be in the main correct. It will be recollected that a
man named Hardeman Owen- was a short time siuce shot
by a U. 8. soldier, while acting under the orders ol the
Deputy Marshal, in an effort to expel Owens. The court
for Russell county in which the deed was committed,
commenced its session on Tuesday last, and issued its sub- J
pocnss for certain soldiers at the Fort,’as witnesses to prove
the fact. Maj. M'lntosb, the commanding officer, relus-:
cd to let them attend, upon which the Court issued lit ca
pias against the Major lor contempt of Court, w hich has
-I-o been disregarded. The Court lias now applied to
Gov. Gayle to order out a sufficient portion of the militia
to assist the Sheriff in arresting M’Intosh. The result of
this application is not yet known.”
How nre these complicated questions to he de
cided ?-— How can they he decided, without great
moderation being practised on both sides? These
Territorial questions nre the most delicate, and at the
same time most difficult—which can occur under our
complicated system of government. They touch
on the one hand the sovereignly of the Suites; and
on the other, the power of the U. States—the juris
diction, to which the one is entitled over its soil—
and the right which the other claims of protecting
its lands. The one lays claim to certain rights, and j
acknowledges certain obligations, under a treaty._'
The other denies the constitutionality of such a trea
ty-—What is to he done in such a dilemma ? To ;
push on the parties to open issue—to invite either
or both of them to draw the sword, and to shed the
blood of the Citizen?—To egg on the parties to
immediate collision? To invite them to pause—to
ascertain the facts in the most authentic manner—
to devise remedies for the evil, nnd thus to awatt
the threatening dnngcr?—The N. Y. American ad
vocates n direct recourse to militnry foreernnd open
violence. We are for gnining time, for the under
standing to reflect, nnd the passions to cool.—The
last American says:
“Now, Alabama prevent* herself, less a>lvantagenus|y
imlved as to title, hut genet ally upon the same principles j
of Slate sovereignty ami supremacy a* Georgia, in ileft-nrr <
of her citizens who have unlawfully intruded upon the
Creek lands, and whom, as bound by treaty to do, w hen so
required by ihe t-reeks, lire United Stales authorities are
removing.- We should think that there could not lie two
opinions in the United States on the abstract right ami du
ly of the federal government to interfere in tin- matter,
nor concerning the obligation of Alabama to acquiesce in
that interposition. \ et the Richmond Knquirer, we oh
serve, invokes the Government to pause, to send commis
sioners of inquiry, fee.— Do any thing hut execute the law.
This is really chilli’s play, and should have an end.”
Child’ll play or not; it is upon the best considera
tion and upon a mature review, the wisest course
ivltich can he taken. We see the danger better per
h/ips than the American—nnd would arrest it by
the utmost discretion ami moderation of measures.
We understand that Mr. Abert, chief of the Topo
graphical corps of Engineers, and assistants, art:
pushing on to Aluhnmn, for the purpose of complet
ing the survey and locating the selections of the In
dian lands. This would he n great point obtained—
ami if time can he gained for this object, it would
lie productive of great benefit.—But the last N. In- .
tclligencer mentions another step which has been
taken by the administration, which may lie produc
tive of beneficial rcsttl s :
“ In what the (tenoral (fovernmcnt ha« ilouo towards px
polling the intruders, it has acted unquestionably in ohrdi
i-nce to the law* of the land, and therefore in the strict
line of itsittity. I he execution of (lit* duty, however, is I
rendered exiirmely embarrassing, hy the magnitude of the I
evil which the Government is called on to repie**—lor the
number of persons who have gone upon, and for the most '
part settled on the Indian lands, is said toamount totwrn
ty thousand, or more. 1 he ease, therefore, presented to
the Government, is one of a very delicate nature, involv- i
ing measures ot great responsibility, requiring wise coun
cils *o to sliapr them as to assert the supremacy ot ihe laws
without appeal, if possible, to the ultima ratio, he.
••The Government, w e dare say, is exerting ilsell lo ail.
jti*t Ihe present difficulty in a manner compatible at once
with its own credit and the public peace. An Agent, an
officer of rank and discretion, letl the city lately for Ala
bama, wilh a large sum of money, to he disbursed, we un
derstand, amongst the Indians; hut w hether in any way
connected with ihe dispute, or to operate immediately or
remotely in its adjustment, wc do not know.”
Whether this mission nrul its objects be the snme
with those we hnvc nlremly mentioned, we know
not.—If it embrace n different purpose, it tuny fur
nish some new remedy for live existing difficulty.—
I<*t,,B not nlso conceal tire otiier hope, tlmt inny arise
from the giving of further lime—that negotiations
witli tlie Indians may yet eventuate in obtaining their
lands by piirchnses nnd removing them to the West
of tho Mississippi, Would it not then he most
deeply regretted, if nil these resources should he de
feated hy precipitation—nnd that while any chances
exist for adjusting one of the most difficult ques
tions which cun arise under our system, wc should
hurry on to cut the knot with the sword? In this
case, instead of settling every thing, it would throw
every thing into confusion.
The Exposition.—The New Hampshire Gazette re
publishes the Erpose of the President’s sentiment* from
the Globe—and truly insists upon it, that it '• should hare
s place In all the papers that have given publicity to his
Proclamation.” The Gazette recommend* this article to
the attentive perusal of its readers *nd trusts,“if any doubt#
remain in their minds, as to Ihe soundness of the Presi
dent’s doctrines, regarding the nature and origin ol our go
vernment, they will he removed.”
The Proposition—The Nashville Banner Calls Ihe atten
tln of it* readers to our article on the proposed change of
the Constitution. It states that “the subject to which it
relate* is one of great importance lo the people of the U
States, and the proposition itsell seems to tie gaining con
1 tolerable popularity. It is one of the most feasible expe
dients yet proposed to ohvia'e the necessity ol caucus
j nominations, and to avoid the great national evil of having
elections for the Presidency determined in the House of
i Representatives. It is worthy of consideration. Re
flection on tHefubject will beget discussion, and discussion
will lead In a right understanding ol the subject uu the
part of ihe people.”

In w hich it is Mated among other things, that *• they (Con-*

I never had any dealings with the Editors of that paper,
nor was I knowing to their having any dealings with the’
Bank, until the same was made public by Ibe Congres

properly used my name, whether by mistake or from false
information remains lor you to explain, and which, from
your accustomed liberality and just regard for individual
rights, i am persuaded you will promptly do.
If you intended to enrol my name among the advocates
of tlie Bank, 1 should hive been obliged bad you first read
my opinions as expressed by myself in the accompanying
printed paper, and il these opinions could have found suf
ficient favor with you, lo have entitled them to the sup
port of your valuable paper, my vanity would have been
flattered and my opinions belter understood.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

(Hr* U e ha*t*n to insert the above correction, in - ,
to Mr. Marker. We rannot doubt the truth of hi* state

the name of the celebrated Stephen Jim rong/is. With
the necessary correrlion, therefore, ol "for Jacob Marker

leave to read the original sentence as follows: "Congress

a man to whose support it w ill he indebted lor its renova

another President.' This is no Oracular nutitinrialion;
bin it is lire deduction ol common sense from sound pre
mises. We see men of sounding lame, and indomitable
ambition—derelict in principle—seizing upon the influence
ol tlie U. S. Bank and it* mercenaiies, as instrument* to
accomplish their selfish purpose*. We see that Institution
seconding their designs of vengeance ami ambi ion. Here,
then, is a con-piracy against tlie virtue and liberty of the
people. If the power ol the United Slates Bank Ire such
a* we sec it i*, when opposed by a popular President,
what would riot be its fatal influence, when combined
wiih the glorious "American System,” and under the
special favour ol an artful and ambitious President? Per

FOR TIIE EJVOlHRER
VALUE OF LANDS
The “Free 1'ress’* of Charlestown, Jr fir non ro , Va.,
contains the following article:
“Jrn iRnoN county Land. — Laic sales indicate a
jil*t esliinale ol the value of our Lauds. The Key's Fer
ry tract, on the Shenandoah, lately sold for $IH per acre,
at auction, A beautiful farm of 21)0 arras, with good im
provements, a mile and a half south of Charleston n, was
lately disposed of, at private site, for Jjtlitt per sere. A
tract of 225 acres, within a half mile of the Shenandoah,
but with scarcely any improvements, brought, at auction,
$ IS per sere; and another, ot neatly 200 acres, two miles
north west ot town, with ordinary buildings, was knocked
oil on Monday la«t, at $13 70, cash. These sales piove,
either that tlieie is an intrinsic value in our soil, which
our farmers know well how to appreriste, or that the great
public woiks in our vicinity have something to do with j
the matter. Our readers will perceive that there is still
some land in market A man, with a Jefferson farm.rle.u
of debt, and with » clear conscience, need ask or desire
no better '‘home'' this side ol Jordan’s bright fields."
That the lands in Jefferson are very rirh and produc
tive of small giain and grass, has been known to other
portions of the .Slate tor a long time. It is a rirh lime- |
stone soil, peculiarly adapted to wheat. Rut, there are
facts in relation to llio«e lands, and the management of
them, independent of tHeir original fertility, which de
serve, consideration. They have been judiciously ami
well farmed for a long series of year*, by a laborious and
rareful people; being benefitfed, in this time, by the best
ploughing, the use of lime, rlover and plsister, and manure.

it is doubted whether nr not they would command s fourth
of the price of these sales In Jefferson. And what is the
reason? Is it not hersuse the product ol them is so hea
vily tased before it rearhes a market? Candour compels
me to acknowledge that,in the county of Jefferson, there
is a spirit of industry and pains-taking among the larmers,
whieli enables them in reap heavy props, Irmu the soil,
and, at the same lime keep it improving. We have not

produce heavier crops.
W hy, then, should there he surli n wide difTrcnev in the
price? I spoak ordy ol the good land., and lh»«r» with re
quisite qualities for linproveuietit. Hour men of capital
prefer to invest all their money in brick Ironses in town.iiv
Hank stock or to lend it out to individuals, they probably err.
For, a well-improved little farm in tire neighborhood ot a
good market ami good society, la a delightful retreat for
pleasure or for lie Jth—arid in very many cases, inay

II the destroying tide of emigration can be slopped,
' irginia wil soon recover from her depleted condition.
And no'lring ran slop it, but vigorous dibits to make the
necessary internal impiovernents, that the products ot her
*oil may get to market promptly ami cheaply. \\ hen this

It they do not do o'hermen will come from other quar

which give to lands in J.llrr*oii *o miiotvadditional value.
