F 4031 WASIIItinTON:—SIat•LLY Taxes.—The i Bank Bill has rece'ved a second kited', on its head, -the Cabinet lies es; laded, Congrces Las ‘adjuurned, and the whole coun t ry, frum Maine I tu Georgia, from the Atlantic Ocean Ito the Rocky Muuntaine, is in a .state el excitemerk bewilderment and astonishment. Rumors are I.lldat cif every shape, hind and descrip tion. Whieperingei of unholy alliances are heard in The highly lye rid byj ways. Insinuations are scatter ed about, dark, deeP,•end damnable,: What' ;o be-. limn., or what to re*t; what conjectures to (iazard respecting future event', or abet conclusioesd6 draw from the past, we axe et a loss to say. Never has lhere•been such a 4risis in the bietory of our coun try ; never has there been a greater necessity for ce .ery true hearted dernocrat to stand by his arms—to be prepared to meetlevery - exigency that may occur —and to be ready Ed a momeet's warning to assault as well as to defend., ..-- The reeigntffion -0' the Cabineibei caused a deep aensatien in the pry itical circles. The reasons of the Attorney Ge9ersl and the Secretary of the Trea sury fur taking io important a step are before the public. All the members have tendered their resig nations to the President, pith the exception of the Secretary elf State, ad.:911:1. WEBSTER; and, as public chroniclers,• we ere bound•to notice that his retain ing office, under th 6 peculiar circumstances which led to the rupture of, the Cabiriet, hag excited a feel ins of suspicion among Me friends. As wo predicted in out last, the second bank bill has been vetoed. This message accompanying the veto will ho fad on the first page, As a literary composition, it is titbit lamentable. Tho sentences aro put together in a liUngling manner, and the King's English murdered in a ruthless and barbarous style. Argument there is -none; and we aro grieved to add, that the President exhibits a gross want of know!. edge of the very first principles of finance. The House .of R4reeentatives adjourned at 8 o'. clock, P. M, on Monday. "The Senate remained in session several hours after. The following cabinet appointments were confirmed : Walter For want, Secretary of the Treaeury. John McLean, Secretary of War. A. P. Upshur, Secretary of the Navy. Charles 4.

Tax LATE CIABIDIET.-.r_We had, hoped from the concluding remarks of the lest veto i message, that it was the anxious wish of President Tyler to prevent xi dissolution of his Cabinet. It will be obierved that he strongly regrets the,difficulties that have cc lcurred ; expresses a desire, which we have every 'reason to believe is 'sincere, to act in concert end harmony with the democratic whigl party t, and de. Glares the pleasure it bad given hire to unite with his political friends on all the great Measures of the extra'session, gave one. But it would seem the Cab inet ministers could not retain their places with hon or or even decency. Mr. Ewing and, Mr. Critten den's letters to the President, tendering their resig nothing, have been published. Similar lettors from Messrs. Bell, Badger and Granger will be laid before the pUblic.. The' following is the letter from the Attorney General,: • • - FlR:—Circumstances have occurred in the course of your administration, and chiefly, in the exercise by you of the veto power, wbich• constrain me to bc'. heve that my longer continuarce in office as a mem ber of your Cabinet will be neither agreeable to you, useful to the country. nor honorable to myself. Do me the justics, Mr. President, to believe that this conclusion has been adopted neither capricious. ly, nor in any.spirit of party feeling of personal hos tility, bu: howl' sense of duty, which, mistaken though it may be, is yet so sincerely entertained.that cheerfully sacrifice to it &be advantages and dir. tinction of office. 80-pleased, therefore, to accept this aa my reg. ignition of the office ut Attorney General of the tor te(' Stater. - The great length of Ewing's letter precludes the possibility of its insertion in our columns. It is written in a calm and temperate tone, and gives a detailed account of the causes which have induced him to terrier his resignation. He acquits the Pres ident of ail blame in his first exercise of the veto pow er ; but asserts That the second Rank Bill received Mr. Tykr's sanction before it was introduced into the House of Representatives by Mr. Sergeant. After the first Bank Bill had received its quietus, the President was anxious that a Bank Bill should immediately pass Congress, and of Such a nature, as ho could approve of without inconsi,ney. Ho call ed upon his Cabinet to stand by him in this emer gency." But now let Mr. Ewing:speak for him self : During this season of deep feeling and earnest exertion upon.our part, while we were sea lous:y de- Voting our talents and influence to serve and to sus tain you, the very secrets of our Cabinet councils made their appearance in an infarpous paper [the N. Y. Herald] printed in a neighboring city, the columns of %N hICII were daily charged of flattery of yourself and foul abuse of your Cabinet. All this I bore ; for I felt that my services. so long as they could avail, were due to the nation —to that great and magnanimous People whose suffrages elevated your predecessor to that station which you now fill, and whose united voices approved his act when he summoned us around him, to be his counsellors; and I felt that what was due to'his merdoiy; to the in. junctions which ho left us in his last dying words, and to the People, whose servants we were, had not all been performed until every means was tried, and every hope had laile_d of carrying out the true prin ciples upon which the mighty movement was found ed that elevated him and you to power. This.bill, framed and fashioned according to your own suggestions, in the inception r of which I and another member of your Cabinet were made by you agents and negotiators, was pasSed by large ma jorities through the two Houses of Congress, and sent to you, and you rejected it. Irnportant as was the part a hich I had - taken, at your request, in the origination of this bill, and deeply as I was commit. ted fur your action upon it, you never consulted me on the subject of the veto mrssage. You did not nen refer to it in conversation, and the first notice I had of its contents was derived from rumor. And to me, at leant, you have done nothing to wipe away tho personel indignity arising out of the act. Tho Harrison Cabinet has ceased te„exist. All the members, with the exception of ltfr. Wobster4 have tendered their resignations to the President, which have been accepted, runts new set of members now fill their respective placer. Mr. Webster has addressed letter to the editonkof the Natioital In telligencer in Which he states the reasons which have induced him to retain office alter he had been abandoned by hie colleagues. Tho following is a copy of that letter: GENTLEMEN :—Lcet any misapprehension P hot: Id exist, as to the reasons which have led, ino to differ from the course pursued by my late collespes, I wish to say that I remain in my place, first, because I have seen no sufficient reasons for the dissolution of the Isle Cabinet, by the voluntary act of its own members. 1 am perfectly pursuaded of the absolute necessity of en institutior, under the authority of Congress to aid revenue and financial operations, arid to give the country the blessings of a good curtency and cheap exrhanges. Notwithstanding what ham passed, I have conti. deneo that the President will cc.ei crate with the Legislature in overcoming all chfrieJultke in the- at. tammeot eddies° objecis ; and it ia to the union of the Whig party—by which I mean the whole party, the Whig President, the Whig Congress and the Whig People—that I look for a realization of our wishes. I can look no where ch:e. In the s econd place, if I had seen reforms to resign my of fi ce, I should no ace dupe so without giving ihe President rfigonab i c notice, and affordin g him time to select the hand to which he should confide the delicate and important affair! how pending in this Department.

A ticket is to be formed whiCh shall, recon,2l :d1 dif ferences and difficulties-4f any exist in rcylity—and which shall - uninithe democracy 'of Schuylkill as one man. If we wish to ace the work of regeneration prosper in this county, all should be actuated bye spirit of concession, concord and conciliation. • The extraordinary events which have lately tran spired at Washington, requite an equally extraordi nary movement on the Tart of the people. It mat ters nit whether John Tyler has abandoned the whigparty, or the whig party abandoned John Tyler. This is not the question at issue. The result of the api roaching contest will determine higher and more important questions. It is no longer an election of a local character, but it is one in which the citizens of the whole union take a common interest—have ,a common lot. The eyes of all are turned towards the Keystone State. Much is expected of Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania expects much of Schuylkill coun ty. By your votes, fellow citizens, you will ratify or condemn all the acts of the federal administration; and tip your votes, we verily believe, will be deter mined the establishment of a Protective Tanff and a regulator of the exchanges end the currency. From the western part of the state, out accounts are of the most cheering and encouraging character to the cause of Banks and Belong." If we are poly true to our own interests, are Corn and _united, are not influenced by local prejudices end predilections, there is, there can be no doubt, that in a few weeks we shall see Schuylkill county redeemed and disen thralled from the yoke of locolocoism.

The ad dress reviews the measures adopted at the tatra ses sion of Congress, and re-affirms the charges made in Mr. Ewing's letter to the President; and leaves the question at issue to the consideration and octiop of the Whigs of" 1i Union. On the whole, the ad. dress may he said to be of a conciliatory character, and calculated to do mtmh good. No denunciation is indulged in towards the Nesident ; although the recent use of the veto power, is indirectly condemned in the strongest terms. THE NEW C/lIIEIET.-If all the Ineßbers accept, the new Cabinet will stand as follows :" DAN lEL WEBSTER, Secretary of State. WALTER FORWARD, Secretory of the Treasury.

[ADVERTIFEMENT.I • The Firet Troop Schuylkill County Cavalry, Capt. G. C. Wynkoop, held a meeting on Thursday eve. ning, July Ist, at their drilP room. Afler the drill, they were making arrangements for celebrating the sth, when they received an invitation from Captain Kutzner, of-the Artillerists of Minersville, to join them in a celebration at their place on that day— which invitation was read 'l3nd placed before the company. It W6B put to vole and carried unani mously by the company. On the same evening, on ii.vitation %sae received from Capt. Boyer and others, of Bernville, to attend the Washington Camp, on the :25th of August, which was alto accepted by a un animenis vote of the company. On the sth of July, the Company being prepared and in full expectation of going to Al ineraville, when theVitptatn halted the company and laid a verbal invitation before them, given by one of the privates, to partake of some refreshments at Port Carbon.— Lieut. Mortimer having been previously informed by the Captain of this invitation, and being favora ble to it himself, made it his special business to go around amongst the members to persuade them from going to M inersville, stating that a vote would be taken in favor of going to Port Carbon. On parade, before the vole was taken, Cornet Michael Murphy advanced and addressed the company in a short speech, stating his objections. Ile observed that as the compiny had received an invitation from Capt. Kutzner, and was unanimously agreed to, and as word having been sent to the Captain and citizens of Minersvilte, he thought they were in duty bound to go there—that it would not only be slighting the comp • ,n 3 but a decided insult to them as well as the , citizens of Mineral/die—and that it would disgrace the Troop themselves., paying so little respect to their own proceedings. The citizens of Minersville had spared no expense in getting up an entertain- men for ,their guests. A table was actin the woods and a dinner prepared; and the company and eiti. zees, alhunder the impression of being visited by the Troop, turned out with one accord to receive them and join in the celebration with their families. The drums were beating around the hills, full of expectation; and continued beating, earning part of the way in hopes 'of meeting them ; until towards evening, when they were fully persuaded of their disappointment, ncre dismissed, and returned home. After Cornet Murphy's address, a vote wail taken 'on the 'Subject, which 'was about a tie; the Captair, however, cried it was lost, and ordered the Troop right wheel to Port Carbon. After they; had wheeled to the right, satire of those opposed to going is heeled left and retired to their quarters , . Cornet Murphy I kept his eland ; when the CaEtain, looking bask, ordered him to advance. The command was obeyed by the Co. net. The Captain then asked him, if ho did not intend accompanying them,- when he said he would not, unless under arrest. The Captain then called on a guard of privates to. arrest him. The Cornet observed that it was not customary and ilk. gal to arrest a commissioned officer by , Privates; as such he would cot- allow himself to be arrested by them, but to prevent-any disturbance-, Would consid. er himself under arrest, and agreed to go -with them. The next order given was to those privates to dis. arm him, which as a commissioned offiher he would not permit, and stated that he would] give up.his arms to none but a superior officer. The. Captain then ordered three privates to seize and disarnalmn -by force, which was accordingly done. After this proceeding. the Captain addressed the `cornpany re specting the disobedience of the Cornet,andbrdered a vote to be taken to have him expelled, which vote was taken and the expulsion followed. ' The Cornet wheeled and loft the Company, and the Troop pre. ceeded to Pot t Carbon. 'I he matter rested, in this situation until within a few days of starting to the Bernville encampment, when Mr. Murphy stated that tie was going to take his situation', of Cornet in the company us usual, as he - did not consider his ex pulsion legal. The l'roop was much excited at his determination, and many were the threats indulged in. Notwithstanding all the threats, on the morning of Aug: 25th, he was on the ground, mirk his station among the 'l'roop, and proceeded with them to the encampment. During their absence, nowithstand. Mgt, the previous vaporings, he was treated with tire greatest respect and all his contmandsdbeyed by the company. The only difficulty that arose,: was with Lieut. Michael Mortimer. Who: on 'duty on the camp ground, the Lieutenant rode up to the Cornet's station, and told the men not to obey the orders of the d—d It ish 6- of a b— ; that he had no business there. The Cornet then called on him and told him that he would hold him responsible for the insul', unless he .vould make an apology to him and the company--and that if he Was an Irishman he was proud of Nis birthplace, but 'oe , was an Amer:- can in principle. The Lieutenant declined doing se, when the Cornet told him lie must put up with the consequences. That morning they took their de parture for home. On their way, the Cornet called on the Captain to form the company, as he had some business to lay before them, (the only words ex changed 'Jet wecn bias and the Captain since they left Petti:villc.), The reqtru7srwas-complied with ve ry politely by the Captain, when the Ciitect LH , , e . eastern to address the company respecting the insult he had received ; and a , . it was en insult of such Sr. aggravated nature, he considered it a duty to him self as lA Cti as the company to call upon the Lieute nant for redress—u hen the Lieutenant very politrly ee dined giving satisfiction in any shape or form.— The Comet immediately rode up to him; drew a pair of loaded pistols from his holster, requesting him to take 11:s choice, and select a !fiend from ti,e ewe panrand retire into a neighboring field, which the Lieutenant refused. The Cornet stated to him that he would have no other opportunity far redress, as iu all probilbility they would not meet again in mil. itary unifbrrn, and as a commissioned - officer and equal in rank, he demanded', apology on those grounds. As a citizen, he would not call upon him on any consideration, hut as a soldier and gentle man, on military duty, he demanded ii.l On the ar rival of the Troop try Pottsville, through the Cap tain and Lieutenant's good management, they had the Cornet arrested and bound over on two charges, before Judge Leib, under heavy penalties to appear at the next Court of Quarter Sessions at Orwigaburg. Since that a Court Martial has been called by Capt. Wynkoop, of which the Cornet has been notified by Brigadier General High, of Reading, to be tried on the 27th inst. in Pottsville. The Cornet has a civil prosecution entered against him, which is followed immediately by a Court Martial. Nbw it would appear as if the determination was to Weak the Cor. net on one suit or the other ; and not only deprive him of his citizenship for seven years, as the law demands., and pay a fine of $5OO, but to send him to the penitentiary, there to amuse himself sawing sandstone for one year. . ri - ut ti_m_a_L.-:- Schuylkill Coal Tr a de. REMARKS The great detention of boats at SacoOka' Haven, alluded to in our last, is over ; the Navigation Company having transferred the weighing of boats from near Schuylkill Haven to the Weigh Lock at Port Clinton, where there is a sufficiency of water. The benefit of this judicious arranqment will bo perceived in the increased amount of shipments Ibis week. We again have to notice a continuance of dry weather. When our paper went to press, however, it had commenced raining, and there, wag ev e ry prospect of a settled rain. The shipments this week, including Little Schuyl kill, amount to 24,575 tons. Total this season, 355,377 tons. The amount shipped to the same period last year, 281,877 tone. Excess in favor of 1811, 63,50(1 tons. We quote freights to Philadelphia at $1,70; to New York, $3,50. Since our last; v‘e do not nonce, any ;material al teration in the prices of freight or coal in the Phila delphia market. In New York, lest wick, 1100 tone of coarse Newcastle coal brought sB,2s!cash and 4 months; and 2E6 tuns small Newcastle, $7,50, 4 months. A cargo of Sidney brought $7. The North American state§ that the channel of the Schoylk.ll river has been so muchimproved cf late, that vessels carrying over 300 tone, and drawing 13 feet water, can now freely pass oier the bar. This is an important fact to be known.to those at a distance engaged in the coal trade. , e, The shipments from tie Lehigh region this sec son we do not think will exceed 125,000 to is ; be ing 25,000 torch leas than our previous 4timate, It gives us muchplrasure to state, th4t the Read ing Railroitd Company' pushing on their work with great vigor. The contra( tens have (received or ders to complete their contracts with the utmost ra pidity. Already the bridge at Schuylkill Haven is nearly completed, and we understand that the ent ! e l i line of the road, between this place and Reading,i is in such a state of forwardness, that theirails can e laid as soon as the Iron arrive?. No doubts now :l ist but that the Reading Railroad Company will e able to run a 1 assenger train of cars. by the Ist of February, and will 113 fully prepared to transports al over their railway trout this region as early as t .43 opening of navigation hilEt "spring. on wind that blons nobody good;" and therein every r son to believe that the freshets of last spring, and t e low stage of water in the canal during !the prose t season, have peculiarly bcnefitted the interests of t to Reading Railroad Cemipany. The public now .ro mate fully', aware than over of the necessity of hav ing the means of a direct tramportaiion between Pottsville knd Philadelphia at all scasoos of the year, and which shall not be interrupted b 3 such contin gencies freshets" or revere droughts." Tho Atlantic cities are as much interested iri the success of this road as Pottsville; for had the road 1)+1 opened in' the early part 'of the season,lia greater a mount of coal would have been sent tb market tire this, and at lower - prices than the prices which the consumers are now paying..
