A Qinfcrtort OP VEUACITT the exciting debate in Congress, caused by the Presentation of the petition for a dissolution of the Union, Mr. Botts of Virginia, Charged the 'present Secretary of the Navy, Judge Upsher, with having been in favor of the dissolution of the Union. The Secretary, in a letter to Henry A. Wise, published in the Madisonian, denies the charge, and intimates pretty strongly that his associations have been quite different from those of Mr. Hotta —and does cot recollect hving ever held a conversation with him upon any subject. Mr. Botts, in a communication in the National Int'lfigencer, reiterates the charge in the most pos itive. manner, and stands ready to prove it. As regards the intimation thrown out by the Secreta ry, Mr. B. thinks that before the subject is dis missed, there will be no ground for the Secretary herecifter intimating that he does not know him. COAL Tix.—A public meeting Avail recently held et Pitts!.urg, where the following resolution was adapted: - Resolved, That we are most decidedly opposed to taxing coal, as it would be highly oppressive on the laboring community; we therefore instruct our rep resentatives to vote against-any tax that will militate against the interests of the industrious classes. The mere proposition to enact such an unwise and iniquitous law, is calculated to do our State serious injury, and will more than counterbalance all the good our wise end enlightened legislature is likely to accomplish at Harrisburg this winter. Drrona's RESUMPTION BlLL.—This Bill has passed the House by a vote of 63 to 14, and has been sent to the Senate for con .mce. It is generally believed that it s cannot p that body in its present shape. %e are xious for a spee dy resumption of specie payments by our Banks as any person can be, but the present • bill Avill fail in accomplishing the . object for which it is in tended, so fir as the banks are concerned; but the effects upon the conimrity at large would be such, that it could scarcely be characterised by any other name than kgislglive swindling. Jons Dt. BliTt6 has replied to the letter of - Judge Upsher in, a communication, which occu pies fOui columns of the National Intelligencer. The testimony brought forward to sustain the charge made against the Judge, that he was in favor of a dissolution of the Union, is generally admitted to he pretty strong and conclusive. The Secretary has since promulgatedVCard through the t same medium, requesting the\publ.c to suspend their opinion for the present, until he has time to bring forward rebutting testimony.

GOVEII3OII'S !ifiSS/GE.,.-GOVerflar Porter sent a Mrisage to the Legislature on Saturday last, on the subject of the State Interest and the stoppage of the Pennsylvania Hank. from which we make the following extract, embracing all of gen eral interest : " Late on the evening of the Ist of February, a successful-arrangemt was made, by which, I have reason to believe, the payment of the inter est due his now been commenced, and will be cenipleted as soon - as the funds can be arranged for the occasion. This arrangement consists in 'pc application of the available fustls of the Bank of Pennsylvania, to wit: Foreign Bills of Exchange, of the value of specie. Bills receivable and soon available, 150,000 And the proceeds of a requisition made upon the other Banks, which will be sufficient to pay the balance of the interest due, the whole of which will be assuredly met in the course of a fortnight or three weeks. — The State Treasurer, by. him self and assistants, will make the payments of in terest at the Bank or at the Treasury. It is well known from my repeated communi cations on the subject to the Legislature, that I have long entertained the most serious apprehen sions of the security of the State's investment in Bank of Pennsylvania; and; to provide a gainst the probability of its delinquency, I took the precaution on the 25th day of November last, under the authority of the resolution authorizing a loan, passed sth ot%lay, 1841, to call upon the banks, which, by the terms of their charters, was bound to loan a sum not exceeding 5 per cent of their capital to the Commonwealth, ' and hold themselves in readiness to advance the balance, which might legally be required of them on the first 'of February inst. The amount of deposites to the credit of the Commonwealth in the Bank of Pennsylvania and its branches, was about $850,000. The amount of available funds received from that institution, as stated, is $500,000. The balance is in pro 'gress of being secured, by the transfer of notes and securities to a Considerable larger amount than that sum, falling due at short dates. They may not all be reduced to cash in less than nine months or a year from this time. Any surplus .received from this source, will, of course, be re turned to the Bank. But I have no. ; doubt the State is secured from any ultimate loss of her de posits. Her greatest suffering has been from the injury to her credit in postponing, even for a day, the payment of the interest duc ,)ter creditors." COMMON Smoot. REPOOT.-Our acknowledg ments are dug to Col. Straub, and S. 11. Clark, Esq., for copies of the Eighth Annual Report of the superintendent of Common Schools. From this Report we glean the following : The whole number of Scholars attending the Schools in 1841, numbered, Males, Females, Total, The average number of pupils in each School was 44—and the avenge expense for each pupil, per quarter was $1 26. The number of male teachers employed' was 5,234—and .females 2,36 B—making the total number of Teachers employed 7,602. The av erage salary of the Male teachers was $lB 91-- and that of the females st' 45. The whole number of School Districts, in the State, exclusive of the city and county of Phila. dephia, was on the first of June bit 1,072. Of this number 917 have accepted the provisions of the School Law, and IES have rejected it. The 'State Appropriation to .the School fund in 1841, amounted to $259,400 84—to w must be added the tax assessed for School purlio ses in the accepting districts for 1941, $397,952 01, which makes the Common School Fund for the year 1841 amount to the sum of $647,- 352 85. A Disattacsrui. PICTCFRE.—The Washington correspondent of the New York American, in a recent letter gives the following heart.sickening picture of matters in the capitol. He says: , 4 There is a general determination. among the friends of peace t adjourn every day at four o'- clock. It is firmly believed by most experienced and judicious .persons, that a candle-light sitting would bring on riot, fighting, use of knives and pistols, and murder in the Hall of Representa tives. Several of the southern metnbers, I know, are - armed, and on the first blow, deadly weapons would. gleam throughout the Halliand pistol balls would soon whistle among them. , I fear you have not the least conception of the slumbering, latent horrors of the scene. At a distance, yOu cannotlinow the hundredth part of the heinohs facts which we shudder at know ing here, many of whom are yet reeking from the murders which gave them honor and eminence in their own country, I am prepared to' see the hall drenched With blood in a general melee, on such a provocation as one hasty word inay give: One southwestern member has already threap, ened the life of another; and the latter now goes armed, with the determination to take the life of his threatened foc,.if he comes within a certain distahee of him."

Tan RIBUT or PUTITION.—The National tote!lige:leer of yesterday, in an article relating to the condition of thing in Congress, and the long debate had upon the question of the right' of peti tion, very justly observes— The. right of petition we consider, in the first place, too sacred to be subjected to the influence of the opinion of the member es to the object which may be embraced by only genuine petition, couch ed in respectful language addressed to congress. . As to .the right of a Member of Congress to present every such petition transmitted to Win we conceive the right to be undeniable. The right of either Rouse of Congresi to en tertain such a petition, or to refuse to entertain it, after a knowledge of its contents, wo conceive to be equally unquestionable.

JOURNAL RICHMOND, Jun. 31, 1842 Dear Sir :—I perceive by your last Journal, that a project is seriously agitated to subject the Coal trade of Pennsylvania to a burthensome tax, as a means of raising a fund to enable the SMte to meet the interest.on her public debt. If there is among the voluminous records of political quackery, (furnished by our State and Federal Legislatures during the last twelve years) one case more glaring than all others—it is this : If Pennsylvania had an overflowing Treasury, and a proposition were started to offer a bounty of 25 cents pet ton on all Coal, and $5 per ton on all iron produced within, and transported beyond the State, I could understand and admire the pol icy of the measure. But tliat the Legislature of that great and enlightened State, can allow itself to be seduced, by the prospect of a merely tempo rary and but partial relief, to adopt the suicidal policy of thus strangling in its infancy, this giant interest—is what I cannot comprehend and will not believe. If the State shall thus sacrifice her domestic interests, (the source of wealth to her citizens and of strength to herself) to meet the interest on her debt, I pray you, how can she ever be enabled to provide fur the payment of the principal. It would be the most ruinous usury to which she could resort: It would be preying upon her very vital.sfor her daily food —to become the cormorant of her own heart. Pennsylvania, if she wishes to realize the high• destiny which nature holds in reserve for her,.• must set herself seriously to work, by every means in her power, to develpe the rich resourc es of her highly favored Territory—to foster and encourage the domestic arts and home industry of her people—to facilitate by ullmeans the trans portation of her products to tide Water—and stimulate her citizens by every expedient, to sup ply within themselves, os far 'as may be, their own domestic wants. Let her notfollow the ex ample. of the foolish farmer in the fable, (who sought at once to realize the whole harvest of goldmi eggs) by ripping up a branch of domestic industry that is destined, in good time, to make her a heavy drawer on her sister States for the proceeds of a valuable export.

After some parliamentary manceuvering this morning, Mr. Adams gave way to a motion to lay the whole question of privilege, which bas occu pied the House fur the,last two weeks, upon the table, and, whether the members from the South had become convinced thnt they were in the wrong, whether they found they had caught a tartar in Mr. Adams, or whether they were frightened at the immense file of documents he laid on his desk this morning, and were fearful that he would, before ho had done with them, annihilate both themselves and their •peculiar institutions," I cannot tell; but from some cause or other they cried peecavi, and, after 83 long re fusing to lay the subject on the table, were now glad to get rid of it, and of their very troublesome customer, Mr. Adams, in that way ; and so, by a vote of 144 yeas, to 52 nays, THE WHOLE SOBJEOT WAS LAW ON THE TABLE, where it will lie to the end of time, ere they burn their fingers with it again, or attempt to muzzle the lion of the North. The editor of the Savannah Georgian has em bodied in the following short paragraph a large mass of statistical information concerning in dustry, as exhibited in the Russian empire. He aaya— The Russians are the largest landholders in the world. Their country covers one-fifth of the surface of the globe. Their forests spread over neatly five-hundred mill.ons of acres, and their plains, or steppes; are almost unbounded in ex tent. The Remnant', however, have turned much of their attention of late to manufactures. They have now nearly 7000 workshops, - or manufac tories, employing 412,931 masters and workmen. Of these establishments, soc, are for woollen goods, 221 for silks, 446 for weaving, 1,918, f feather dressing, 444 for candle making, 486 for metalic hardivare, and the rest for ealtpetre,sugar, potash, chemical, color, tobacco and paper works, The internal trade circulates through the means of such boay and crowded fans' as are held at Novargoep, whither goods aro often brought to the value of nearly £8,000,000, of which at least one-tenth comes from China. The five other fairs of Corona*, Ida, Res. tow, Kreehensh, and Romm;y,in the governments respectively of itersh, Perm, P.shawa, and Jo skutzlt, presented wares, taken altogether, in 1839, to the estimated amount of £2,500,000. The total of Russia imports from foreign countries, for 1838, came to something under £11,000,000, of which one twelfth came by land ; ono fourth con sisted of consumables ; one half was for the Use of manufactories, and one fourth was manufac tured goods. The gross exports, for the' year 1838; came to nearly £14,090,000, .of which" fifth passed through Riga, a tenth through Odessa, twentieth through Archangel and Tsgauro;. The Washington correspondent of tbo N. Y American writes the -following passage concer ning Mr. Adams on. Thursday: Lord Morpeth was again a devotes-and wrapt au ditor. He has not missed a day / since the °Mir beoan. It was beautiful to-se(a British Minister 1 of lints sitting here and looking up to learn liom I this source, the unwritten, deeper history of his own country, as well as of Europe. For such •it was, when Adams gave the history of the move ments at the-Court of the Emperor Alexander, caused by his agency, which eventuated in the Russia -British alliance, resulting in the overthrow of the great Napoleon. - 'Fite general interest (though less completely intelligent) in the perfect beauty, and value of the apical to the past, was not less Impressive and all abaorbing. The whole House drew together ern end him and eat at his feet like children, trans. fixed- and adminng. Wild, furious Sotherners, and treacherous nothern Loca,Facoa '•ferget their rage" and baseness for a time, to p l ay this involun tary tribute to “the old man eloquent." As he stood pouring out the torrent of wisdom and patri otism, the blush of shame tinged many a dark face. and-stern brows, candy knit it him in hate, • 1 rlxed their scowl to the ingenuous bland expres eioi of esteem and veneration.

Sranrnixo is WELL LS STU kNEE.—Virginia is divided by the Blue Ridge in two distinct sec tions, one occupied by planters, ari'd slaves, and the other mostly by 'an intelligent white fanning population. A Washington correspondent says among the wonders of the day at Washington is the novel and extraordinary phenomenon present ed in the notice of a petition from Virginia fur the abolition of Slavery in the District of Colum bia! It is signed by ninety-three men in Lewis county, which is in the northern part of the inte rior of the state—a free-laboring, grain-growing district, which has been much OM up lately with the sturdy Northern farmers who have been emi grating thither from Pennsylvania.
