Itmight be well to mention, at one of the-favorable feature* in the "separate system;" thnothe invention of cruel modes of punislintent,-so mud' dwelt upon in other prisons, is not necessary in this the main gov ernment of the prison being conductedmore by firm ness and kindness, than by harsh and cruel treatment. Of the sixty received within the year, eight report themselves as temperate, forty-one intemperate and eleven moderate drinkers. _ A. BECKEIAM, IVarden tlx ;Daily illorning post. THOS. PHILLIPS it WM. H. SMITH, EDITORS SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 8, 1845 Kan' near Ftsasccatao.- I Ye had an article lesterday in relation to the strange disappearance of $76,000 of the -money of the people of Kentucky, and of which, notwithstanding the amusing game that has been.played by the federal financiers of that doomed State, mating satisfactory ha' yet been elicited. The pursuit of this money is "mighty pooty fun" for the -whig ofce-holdete, who seem as if they were gravely playing "Hide and Seek," or "Who's got the Button." The people, meantime, have become somewhat restiff, and their fears, reacting on the minds of the Senate, have induced a call fur information, which is thorough and searching, and not by any means easy to answer, if we've tojudge from the mysterious and circum locutory manner in which information so far obtain ed has been brought out. The Senate wants to know whether the money could not have been get from New York in time to perthe Ooatrectors, to whom, it seems, the State is largely in debt—what loss the State has sustained in consequence of the payment of said contractors in bonds instead of money—by what authority bonds were issued to pay the contractors—by what authority the $lOO,OOO resulting from the sale of Bonds was transferred to the Sinking Fund;—and by what au thority the State Bonds for $lOO,OOO were sold, and Bank Stock bought with a part of the money. Of course, the Sea& e knows of no legal warrant for any of these proceedings, or else it would not call fora recital of the authority by which they were done—and the inevitable conclusion is, that without any sanction of law, or contrary to law, the Whig office-hams of Kentucky committed the following Ines outrages on the rights and property of the peo ple of that State: 1. Refused to pay Contractors, to whom the State was indebted, mosey intended for their use. 2. Paid them in Bonds at a loss to the State. 3. Issued those bonds without color of law. 4. Transferred $lOO,OOO to the Sinking Fund, which should have been paid to contractors. And 5. Bought Bank Stock, to sustain an institution which was per bap lean unsound condition, instead of paying the men whom the State owed for labor done on her peblic works. This last proceeding forms the climax to the whole of this foul and iniquitous business, and illustrates milt &wally the sublime and beautiful poli'y of whig gery. These whig financiers in the first place wrong the creditors of the State by refusing to pay them the money appropriated for their use—and in the second place, pleader both the State and her creditors, by paying the latter in bonds on which they suffered a 1011 e, sad all to enable the dignitaries of Kentucky to direct the State's resources to the aid of the Bank of Louisville, by buying her stock. The Kentucky Financiers may be all. all 'honorable VAlle—they may be able to account for every dollar of "the now missing s76,ooo—but then there was a very bee election canvass in Kentucky last year, and the -applies which the U. S. Bank used to furnish, were cat os—yet a great deal of money was spent by the arhigs at that election. -Wisttaur Plant writat.—We publish this morn stag the Report of the laapeetors of the Western Pen itentiary, and also the Report of Major Brc&ffLM the able Warden. iFrom the accompanying documents, we learn that the total amber of prisoners, oa the first of Janu ary, 1845, was 130; being a decrease, of 18 since Jan. 1844. Of the prisoners, 16 are married, 101 anima riel. 13 widowers. Niue report themselves u having been temperate, 11 moderate drinkers, 101 intemperate• The total number received since the admission of the first prisoner, July 1, 1826, is as follows: • White males, White females, Colored males, Colored females, Total, Sixty are natives of Pennsylvania, 4of Get many, 1 of. Ireland, 15 of New York, 2 of Massachusetts, 1 of Vennoct, 6 of Virginia, 7of England, 3 of Cana- I /a, 7 of Maryland, 1 of Spain, 3 of New Jersey, 1 of Rhode Island, 2 of France, 1 of Michigan, 3 of Ohio. 5 of Kentucky, 1 New Hampshire, 1 of Louisiana, 1 of Mississippi, lof South Carulina, 1 of Maine, 1 of Delaware. Within the past year 60 have been received; 50 discharged by expiration of their term of imprison• went; V. have been pardoned, and 6 died. There are 122 male, and 8 female prisoners. The report of the Moist Innructor. the Rev A W. Wank, speaks in very favorable terms of the conduct of the prisoners and their disposition to improve their lives from his teaching. The syrem which be has adopted in his intercourse with them appeenve be one well calculated to reclaim the criminals, and to gist. them confidence that, afte r theysufer the penalty of their firstkransgresoion, they may, by a course of honesty regain the good opinion of the world, and live in the esteem of the virtuous ,and good. Mr B. concludes his report by stating that /the Warden and all the other officers afford him every -assistance in their power, in all his efforts to promote the moral and religious improvement of the prisoners. The whole report shows that the institution is judi elassly managed, and it is satisfactoryevidence of the supeciority.of the Nennaylvania system of Filson Dis sipliae.

"Native" Rooenaik Sireitzz.—A few days since the Native organs brought to light a dark tran saction perpetrated by the principals of a religious in stitution in Cincinnati, which was nothing less than the forcible detention, for many yeue,of a Mr. Vit naps, in the secret cells of the institution. The story originated with the Baltimore Clipper, and we believe it was re. published in this city with suitable comment.. The following from the Baltimore Argus explains the mat tes, and gives a turn to the story which will not be ve ry serviceable to the purposes of those who first start ed it. "Correetion.—A ststemeut appeared in the Clip per last reek, of a man by the name of Edwd..l. Wil son being confined for a number of years in a Catholic Institution in Cincinnati, nolens votens. We are pla ced in possession of the facts of the case which are these: Edward J. Wilson the person alluded to, was a resident of Baltimore in 1831 or '32, where he had failed in business. He went to Cincinnati, and became a poor and miserable object in the streets, and lost his mind from the effects of drink. He was taken up and placed in the Alms House of that city, 'whore Bishop Purr-ell of the Catholic Church found him, and rem*. ved him with the approbation and knowledge of the Rev. John Thompson Brook, of the Episcopal Church, who is nephew to Wilson's wife. Bishop Purcell pla ced him in his College, which is not a Catholic Institu tion, but a place fertile education of young men. Here he had n borne given him, free to dottrel go as be plea sed. From the article in the Clipper, there is an in- i sinuation-that Wilson was confined in some Catholic Institution for ulterior objects, and which most persons would infer from the manner in which it was written. We have no doubt but that our neighbor was misin formed, and has done an unintentional injury, wethere fore make the correction by a true statement of facts placed in our possession by a gentleman intimately ac quainted with all the parties, and request that the cor rection will be made in the paper in which the first statement appeared." The first version of the story created considerable excitement in certain circles in our city, and the only circumstance that cast a shadow of doubt over it, was the impossibility to discover a motive for Wilson's in carceration. This was speedily settled by a native, who appeared to know all about it; He stated that the Bishop bad married . Wilson's sister, and for the purposeof getting control of the estate of his wife's family, be had seized the brother and kept him im prisoned as the story set forth. This was quitrksatis factory, and convinced those who bed rd it that the Bish op had not treated his wife's brother with proper re spect. T a R E MUM OF JUDIt 'CUM.—The N. Y. Com mercial Advertiser sayst—"On Saturday Judge Kent closed the terms of the Circuit Court, and made his last appearance on that bench. He will, however, continuo to perform the duties of his o6ce till the 17th instant, when bis retirement will take erect. We un deretind that the members of the legal profession have commenced s sebeerietien fur the purchase of a service of plate to present to Judge Kent, and anoth er to procure his portrait for the library of the Law Institute, in testimony of the high regard in which he is held by the profession." HEAVY VICRDICT AGAINST Ant t-RssiTE .--In the Albany (N. Y ) Circuit Court, last week, Mr. Chaim eey Rider, a deputy sheriff of that county, who was as saulted and maltreated by a number of "Indians," while in the ilischarge of his official duties in 1841,re covered a verdict of $lO,OOO against four of the indi viduals, who were pre6etit when the outrage was corn tnitted, and who, though not actually participating in the assault themselves, yet countenanced and en couraged those who did the deed.

ANoIIIER INDIAN MURDER.—Lewis Rogers, son of the old Chief of the Cherokee Nation, was murder ed near Fort Gibson a few days since by several of the Ross party, who auricled him while he was returning from the Indian Council.

We must respectfully suggest to this Association, as they have ample funds, to look after this fair young creature for I the sake of the gallant old man whose blood leaps in her young veins. 17" We learn from the N 0 Picayune, that Albert Conklin arrived there on Wednesday last with the pa• cing horse James K.

Mr Conklin is a famous trotting jockey from New York. FINANCES or Gitostais,—The financial condition of Georgia is excellent. Her whole debt is but 11,683,. 210, and her treasury is now in a condition to pay the interest upon thisdebt in advance. Fifty thousand dol lars of the principal. were paid during the past year, end it is proposed to discharge the like amount during the year with specie or its equivalent, and there is now in the treasery a surplus of $186,988. The concerts of this state have been ably managed, tad she is in an enviable position. A Plea for Ugliness.—We find the following con. siderate remarks upon the injustice of condemning men upon their ill looks in a late number of the N Yoik Enprees: I saw ran editorial article in your paper 4' FtiAay which I Wes very sorry to see. It was in relation to LW man ilecused of murder at Baltimore, and reflect ing generally upon personal appearance. My experi ence as a close observer of men and manners the last twenty-five years, has show n me that the surface of the human frame is not a fair index by which to judge , n the faculties, physical or mental, of the possessor.— Among a large circle of acquaintance, I can, at this moment, think of many most virtuous and estimable friends who must fall under the ban of those remarks; while many others of my acquaintance who have hand some faces, are far, very far, their inferiors. Com parisons are improper; but on looking at those who have committed the worst species of murder and oth- . er crimes in New York for the last fifteen years, we find them to be among the moat handsome men. I will notice Robinson, Colt, Edwards, Babe she O rate, and other,.. No man makes himself; and it is cruel and unjust thus to attempt to deetioy RAY one on account of the color of his eye, or the accidental cut of his form or physiognomy, or to say that a man should be excluded from a public hotel on account of the contour of his face. The reflection is unjust. AN OLD FRIEND. t 4,100,360 £OO,OOO . 45(000 $4,745,369 70_TRZ IDITORI __— CONGRESS. ___ ___l Dollars awl Ceuta —When shall we have en A merican currency?

Globe, Feb 4. From the Nashville Union, February 1. THE DEMOCRATIC POLK ADMINISTRATION The President leaves this city today for Washing ton to enter upon the discharge of his duties. Rumor andconjecture have been busy in ministering to the ea ger curiosity of the country as to the probable course of policy to be adopted by him. We have heretofore endeavored to deduce from our knowledge of the true character of the President, the line of conduct most likely to be pursued in his administration. Mr Polk will enter upo.l the Presidency under circumstances of a character peculiar, and in many respects embarras sing. Being younger than any other President at the time of being chosen, his political reputation may not be as extensive as that of some of his predeces sors, and on that account his true political character is nets° well understocaLparticulerly by his opponents. In reference to his talents, great miarepresisntations have characterized the discussions of the late canvass. He will have no cause in the end, however, to regret this circumstance. When he shall have filled the Ex lecutive chair fora short period, the country will be , come fully satisfied of the injustice done him in this respect. His abilities will be found fully adequate to the discharge of his high duties in such manner as will put to shame his reckless assailants in the late canvass, whilst his democratic friends will have abun dant cause to congratulate themselves on biienecess.— I f he commences his administration with less of po• litical reputation than some of his predecessors, we venture to predict that he will terminate it with a stan-, ding on the same platform with the most honored fath ers of the republic. In his administration we look to Mr Polk for a di:+- play of wisdom, of deliberation, firmness of purpose,l independence of action and energy of execution which will command the admiration and win the confidence of the country. These will be found to be the promi nent chamcreristics of his administrative policy, if we have understood aright his past political history. If it be true, as we fear, that the democratic party Is in danger of being divided into cliques in reference to the succession, we shall be disappointed if the new Presi dent does not take his position high above all such movements, and make it his business firmly and promptly to rebuke all attempts to introduce into his administration the influence of any clique. "Mea sures and not men" has long been a favorite motto with Mr Polk, and it is fair to presume that ho will akhere to it in the Executive chair. !Us first and leading object will be to carry out faithfully the doc trines promulgated by the Baltimore Convention. To effect this great purpose be will feel the necessity of calling around hint counsellors and advisors imbued with the same spirit of devotion to measures with him self, and hence he will not commit the suicidal act of permitting the harmony of his counsels' or the single ness of his purposes to be obstructed by influences looking to the gratification of individual aspirations. The people have east upon Mr Polk. the heavy re sponsibilities of the Presidency—from these responsi bilities he will never shrink, bin will expect to bear all the odium, if any there shall be, growing out of his policy; and on the other hand, he will claim the honor, if any there shall be, resulting from the success of his administration. To bear the responsibilities of his station and to be entitled to the resulting honors, he must be the l'resident in fact; and this great fact must be distinctly prominent. lie must know the ember- BALTIMORE MARKET. rassments which encompass him—rind he will not fail Batllllone, Februaty 4. to see that there is but one course for him to pursue— Cattle—There were offered at the scales yesterday, and that is to have a Democratic Pot At atiministra -340 head of Beef Cattle, 227 of which were sold to tion.

The heavy business which was transacted in Cot. ton on Thursday nearly swept the martet of all that was on sale, so that yesterday only a limited quantity was offered. The demand, however, was very brisk, and resulted in sales to the extent of 5,500 bales, at prices even a shade higher than those paid before. holders having generally succeeded in obtaining their asking rates. We never recollect to have seen the market at this season of the year so bare as it is at present. There is not much business doing in Sugar, and pri ces rule as last quoted, say from 24 to 5c if , th for ex treme qualities.

Pork is very firm at $9 50 per bbl. fur bless; holders are now generally asking $9 75 to 10. In other des criptions of Provision.) we have change to notice. There is a very good demand for Exchange with but little offering. We quote Sterling 8} to 91 ip cent. premium; Francs 51.264 to 51.30. New York 60 days 1i to 14 f ct. discount; Sight checks par to per cent discount.

There had been an active de mend for Cotton in the Liverpool market for several days proceeding, and the sales from the Bth to the 11th inclusive, had amounted to 32.000 bales, at prices fully sustaining the advance of id. before noticed.— Our own market yesterday was so bare that notwith standing a good demand only 3000 bales were disposed of, at steady prices. There is a moderate demand for Sugar at prices ranging from 21 to sc. f' lb for extreme qualities.— Some sales have been made on Plantation; but we could not obtain the precise particulars.
