JOHN BANKS, OF BERKS COUNTY. Notes of the Bank of the United States were at 30 per cent, discount, in Philadelphia, on Thursday last. Sad! sad! A Sub-Treasury Substitute. The Merchants' Bank of New York has been substituted for the Sub-treasury safe in that ci- ly. Syracuse. At a meeting held at Syracuse on the 23d, to raise funds for the families of those killed and wounded by the awful explosion at that place, eighteen hundred dollars were subscribed on the spot. Tennessee. The unofficial returns from all the counties, give the Whig majority for Governor, as 3344; and the Whig majority in the Legislature on joint ballot, as 2. The Buckeye Blacksmith. The Southern papers have been circulating a story that Bear, the Buckeye Blacksmith, was recently arrested and bound over on a charge of horse stealing. The facts of the case are thus stated by the Sciota (0.) Gazette : "A sharper came among the Indians to cheat them out of a horse. He got some of them drunk, and bargained for a valuable horse for some articles of very trifling value. Bear, hear ing of this, sent for the horse with the intention of keeping him until the Indian got sober. The sharper, incensed at being foiled in his imposi tion, went to a magistrate, and upon his own oath got out a warrant against Bear for horse steal ing. He was arrested, stood the examination before the justice, and was discharged, and the Indian protected against the fraud! This is the story on which the charge of horse stealing was got up and circulated in the Loco Foco press."

The occurrence in the Senate Chamber on Monday presented a scene amusing as well as solemn in its character. Mr. Benton smilin? ike a toad, and with a face as red as vermil ion, rose with a motion to arrest "the Rank ruffians" who, he said had' insulted the Presi dent of the United States by hissing his Mes sage. Mr. Rives, Mr. Preston, and many others protested that they had heard no hissing. Mr. Benton s friends, however were as confident they had heard this mark of disapprobation, though as Mr. Buchanan remarked it was nei ther loud or prolonged. While this grave and weighty matter was under consideration, a drunken loco foco in the gallery, better known at Washington as the black hole of Calcutta, was noisy in his approval of the veto message, and in his approval also of the speeches ol Mr. Benton denouncing the "Bank bullies" and "ruffians" who had been hired, as he said, to hiss the President. Mr. Walker caught a sight of the fellow through the crowd, and rising as i l l ir i i .... nign as nimscu almost, cneu out "there lie is," "there he is now Mr. President." " Yes, that's me," said the fellow, "go ahead Benton," "give it to them!" and all eyes above and below were directed to the noisy intruder Again Mr. Benton spoke, and again the loco foco in the gallery gave some token of admira tion and approval. 1 he loco loco senators be- ldw, however, took the noisy citizen to be whig as well as a "Bank ruffian," and the Ser- geant-at-Arms appeared and dragged him be low. In some ten minutes, Mr. Benton found through inquiry that he had causrht a tartar, and that "the Bank ruffian" instead of hissing, had oenu uuisierous m nis aemonstrations ot appro val, and particularly in seconding the denunci ations of Mr. Benton. Mr. Allen gave him s hint to that effect. Mr. Kins, Mr. Walker. Mr Buchanan, and Mr. Linn, a colleague, all po litical friends, all asked the senator from Mis souri to withdraw his motion for arrest. Mr o. uiu wnuuiaw xiuiwuuaiaiiuing ne jiad said to Mr. Buchanan, that "so help him God he would not!" The loco foco rowdy in the end ,.r .t.- c r.- : oi me iray, auer expressing repentance, was suffered to depart, and that on the motion o ! r I.;... IP rnl. ...1. ..I. iur. iicmon nimseii. mo wuoie scene was eminently ludicrous and ridiculous, and Mr Benton lor one at least, found that he had waked up the wrong passenger. FROM WASHINGTON. Correspondence of the Inquirer Courier. Washington, Aug. 26, 1841. Great efforts are making by a certain party to induce the President to veto the Land Bill, which has just passed the Senate; but you need not be afraid of such an act. The President will sign it ; the only difficulty being in the House, on the part of the delegations from Penn sylvania and New York, who object to the amendment to distribute the lands in the ratio of the joint representation in loth Houses of the respective States; but even this difficulty has been removed by this evening's caucus. The truth is, the smaller States are by this amendment much the gainer; but a more en larged patriotism ought to prevail, and prevent a split of the party at this critical moment. The dissolution of the Cabinet spoken of in my last is no rumour I believe I have never troubled you with mere rumours and conjec tures, as all my letters will prove but an un avoidable, necessary measure, which may be delayed for a week or so, but which must come to pass, however you or I may wish to avert such a calamity. I do not mean, however, that the whole Cabinet shall go at once, or that its mem bers one and all shall at once assume a posi tion hostile to the President. It may be that one or two remain, or that the most prominent member of the Cabinet' may be sent to Europe; but some important change in the Cabinet will take place immediately after the adjournment of Congress. The President has been seriously indisposed for a day or two past. The White House is literally stormed by visiters, every one think ing that his advice is sure to save the nation. It would be best for the President not to see people at all for a week or two. His kindness makes him receive every body. Mr. Bolts' card is a foolish production from beginning to end, and couched in such language that the Intelligencer refused to publish it. The epithets, "Captain Tyler," "traitor," and the like, are conceived in the worst spirit, and can not be productive of the least possible good. I still hope the Bank Bill will be laid on the table, for if it pass the Senate it will most as suredly be vetoed, and then the breach in the Whig ranks in inevitable. Twenty-four Whig members, it is believed, will go off with the President at once. Parties have been too ex cited all along, and there is, I am afraid, no chance of a reconciliation unless they are sep arated, and allowed to cool off. Congress will adjourn in two or three weeks. Why are not the merchants invited to give their experience at the bar of the House, as is done in England on all similar occasions? Each commercial city might deputy a person of es tablished character and business talents to plead its interests and its views; and Congress would in this manner obtain more real infor mation in a day than in six weeks' haranging, declaiming, criminating, and recriminating, un til they are at the sword's point just ready to cut each other s throats. I repeat it, nothing but a speedy adjournment can keep the Whig party entire. The cause of the fall of States Bank. the United The people will not be surprised at the fall of the United States Bank when they learn that it was robbed by the officials and con science keepers of Governor Porter, men with out credit, honesty, character or property, and that the list headed by O. F. Johnson, Attorney General, whose indebtedness to the Bankisdnly he small sum of TWENTY-FIVE THOU SAND DOLLARS ! We shall obtain a list of these worthies to be held up to the public gaze, unless prevented by Sentinel Brooke, placed there by the Governor. Har. Tel. A Short laved Triumph. Our Loco Foco friends, as it seems to,us, are making themselves somewhat ridiculous. They are shouting over the Veto, firing cannon, and making other similar demonstrations at the prostration of the National Bank, and all before they discover whether or not such an institution will be chartered bv the present Congress. The defeat of their darling measure, the Sub- Treasury scheme, seems to be totally lost sight of, or utterly disregarded. Their rejoicing will prove but momentary, and we may soon expect to see those who are loudest now in their pan egyrics upon the Veto, equally clamorous, when by some new act, the President shall prove that, however he may differ from the Whig par ty upon one point, he is nevertheless with them in heart and in principle in all the other leading measures of national policy. Pa. Inq. OXIjY 25,000 ! ! ! David R. Porter's Attorney General, the wri ter of the lying and slanderous Addresses, is sued as coming from the Slate Committee, owes the Bank of the United States only the small sum of TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOL LARS!! Other partizons and officers of his Excellency, not worth a groat, owe it like en - ormous sums, lor winch the iJanic will never receive a dollar. No wondor that the institu tion sunk under the weight of the Slate Gov ernment, and such a weight as this. Harrisburg Tel. The Postmaster General, who seems to have been selected as the target for arrows shot from the longest bows of the Opposition organs, has reason to be abundantly gratified wilh the vote in the House of Representatives yesterday upon the bill making an appropriation to relieve that Department from the disgraceful condition in which it was left by the late Administration. One hundred and twenty-seven voles to forty- eight is a majority sufficient to console him for volumes of vulgar abuse. Nal. Intel. Treachery of the leaders of Ejocofo-coism,--the Public JLands ami our State Debt. The State debt of Pennsylvania is now FOR-RY-ONE MILLIONS SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. If a tax should be laid sufficient to pay it off, it would amount to about TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS for every man, woman and child in this Commonwealth, and more than ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS for every taxpayer in the Commonwealth! Here then is a mortgage upon every man s estate oi tioclve hundred dollars, for a debt incurred by the corrupt and dishonest ruler of this State. Yet, notwithstanding this alarming fact every loco foco representative in Congress from this Slate, voted against a bill which would not only nay the interest on this enormous debt, but in a short time, pay off the debt itseljl I he tfill to distribute the proceeds of the Public Lands, for which Pennsylvania poured out her best blood in the Revolutionary and Indian wars, among the people of the several States, to whom they belong, did not receive the vote of a single loco Joco! Will the people of this Stale sustain men who thus betray their interest? When the hardworking and industrious farmer or trader, or mechanic is called upon to pay an hundred and fifty or two hundred dollars on property that he has toiled a whole life to accumulate, LET HIM REMEMBER THAT IF THE FRIENDS OF DAVID R. PORTER HAD VOTED TO DISTRIBUTE THE PRO CEEDS OF THEPUBLIC LANDS AMONG THEM AS THEY OUGHT TO HAVE DONE YEARS AGO, THEY WOULD NOT NOW HAVE TO PAY A DOLLAR of TAX, AND THE STATE WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT OF DEBT! Log Cabin Rifle. From the Bucks County Intelligencer. The following dialogue is supposed to have been spoken by Peter R. and Patrick M., near the "Devil's half acre:" Peter. Padrick, wos der tyvil makes de Ca nal preak so much down dare apout Neely's ? It preaks now dree or four times dis summer, all de times at one place. Why dont Rogers mend him better a ready? Patrick. Why Pater, ye know the Canal must break somewhere, and as some men of in- fluence in our party live about there, ye know they may as well have a share of the public money, for lumber, stone, dirt, and so on, as any body else. Peter. Wos you mean py sayin de Canal must preak? I taut de Canal was made to hold wasser, and was not to preak at all, but now he preaks all de time. Patrick. I dont mane that the Canal is to be breakin foriver but only till the 'laction jist. Peter. Padrick, you has been on de Canal a great deal, and knows how tings is done dare but I unnerslands dis "preakin till de 'lection, notting. Patrick. I'll tell ye in a minute ye know the 'taction will be here in aboot two months, and then we'll want all the votes we can get, to kape the Governor in office, so that he can kape Rogers in, and then ye know we II git fine, profitable, asey jobs for the naxt three yares. Well ye know the more the Canal breaks the more hands it will take to mend it, and the more hands the more votes ye see; and we'll take none that isn't for Porter and Rogers, if we can help it and we cant kape them with out havin a little of something for them to do, and we must kape them somewhere in this State till the Haction, cost what it wull. D'ye see .until it now, Pater? Peter. Der dihanker, yaw! I sees now wos for de Canal preaks so much, and why so many hands is kep on the bublic improvements all ober Pennsylvany unt I see dat de way our rail roads and canals is managed, is jist done to make de beeples pay taxes, to raise money to pay dese hiret voters tint de rascals in office. Patrick. Stop Pater now, ye're not a good loco foco, or ye'd niver talk that way sure now isn't it all for the good of iiieparty to kape the Governor and his friends in office? Tell me that now. Peter. Yes, yes, it's for de good of de Gov ernor unt de party of office holders, dat dese tings is done, but it ish not for de good of de beeples, unt so it aint Democrat, unt I dont go for it, unt I wont go for it neddur. Der Gover nor has made us more otate debt as we ever had, unt more taxes to pay, unt he puts men in office dat aint fit, unt dat de beeple dont like, unt every ting is gone wrong since we made him Governor, unt dey are gittin wus unt wus cvry day. So de sooner we gits clear of Por ter, de better, unt den we'll be clear of his un derlins too. I'm sure we cant git wus ones a ready. Patrick. Pater, I'll report ye till the lad of the party, an' the divil a bit iver you'll git ladcrs on the County Ticket as long as ye live ye shant aven be a Committee of Vigilance man for your own township, ye sour krout tub ye. Peter. Yaw, yaw, dat ish de way, whon folks find out how dey are cheated mit loco fo cos dat tries to make dem Delievo dev are Dem- ocralS llnt wont be cheated no longer, den dey plackguard us aui, call us names but I dont care, I votes as I please after dis, unt not for parties. I ish a Democrat, unt not a Loco Fo co, nor a potato bug nedder. Patrick. Houl yer tongue, yo oul Dutch. Peter. Halt, halt, Padrick, I hears no more dis time. FARAWELL. The Case of Eldridge Dead! The charges alledged against Dr. Eldridge will pro bably fall to the ground at present. At the conclusion of the last term of the Court of Gen eral Sessions, wo understand that the counsel for the prosecution forgot to force the defend ant to renew his recognizance. He is at pres ant liberated from all liabilities. liCt it be Remum&ercrf. That the loco papers attempted to cre:ite the belief that the "Tips No. 1." to the number of eighty odd had declared for Porter which was false! That they have declared that the Carlisle Volunteers received SI 1,174 17 for their ser vices during the rebellion created by the duo keepers of Philadelphia and the lazaroni who supported Porter in 1838, when in reality they were paid but $600! We have asked in vain what became of this $10,000! That the Bradford Porter acknowledges that useless offices have been created on the Ca nals. That the Spirit of the Times, another loco foco paper, confesses that favoritism was prac tised in the Iettings on the Erie Extension. That no paper in the interest of David R. Porter has dared to deny the charge that ninety-nine thousand dollars were received by him for signing the suspension resolutions. That the Venango Democrat another loco paper, has charged Gov. Porter's Auditor Gen eral with embezzlement of the public monies. That the Keystone, another loqofoco paper, the senior editor of which was an Adams Fed eralist, is out against the One Term Principle. That in every quarter of the state Daud R. Porter's relatives and friends are securing eve ry public job at immense profits. That the Canal Commissioners, their engi neers and agents have not the common capac ity to have the repairs on the Delaware Divi sion completed, but that break has succeeded break, four times, solely on account of bad workmanship. That not one single reason has been offered why Judge Banks should not be elevated to the Governor's chair, while the enormities of Por ter's administration are so great, that his friends are compelled to confess them! That by the election of John Banks, we in troduce permanently the One Term Principle the only means of democratic Reform, by which the Executive power can be faithfully and honestly exercised for the general good. Harrisburg Tele. Messrs. Buchanan and Sturgeon, the two Senators from Pennsylvania, have been instruct- e t0 vote for the bill to distribute the proceeds of the public lands among the States; but they have contrived to "dodge the question," by de claring that they cannot vote for that provision of the bill, which allows ten per cent, of the proceeds of the sale of land within each State to that State; because forsooth, such an allow ance would make the division unequal! and therefore be contrary to the strict letter of their "instructions!" Upon this flimsy pretext do they hang their opposition to the entire bill upon this shallow foundation do they hope to stand securely in opposition to the will of Penn sylvania! But they will be remembered. The Keystone cannot forgive the men who, in ex cuse for sacrificing the rights and interests of a great commonwealth upon the altar of paity, can offer nothing better than a contemptible quibble. Sussex Register. More liynching. We learn from the Peoria (Mi.) Register that, a few weeks since, a young man named Geo. Fisher, of Henderson count, was taken out of bad at night by a band of ruffiians, one half of his head shaved, his body tarred and leathered, and then, with his hands tied behind him, put into a canoe and set adrift in the Mississippi river, with a threat that they would kill him if he came ashore. After floating a few miles, Fisher contrived to free his hands and reach the shore. He immediately returned home, and caused some of the ruffians to be apprehen ded, who, after due examination, were bound over to appear at the next Court two of them in bonds of $1,200 each, the others from $400 to $800 each. The remaining four ruffians made their escape to the Iowa side of the river, and there succeeded in rallying a mob, who came over in a ferry boat and recaptured Fish er. This was in the middle of the afternoon. Fisher was taken some twenty yards from the road, tied with a chain and rope, and a guard of two men, armed with knives and pistols, placed over him, who told him that if he hal looed, instant death was his portion. Here he remained till dark, when he was taken to the second island above Bloomington, and flogged by four men until his back, legs and arms were cut into welts. He was then presented with a lie-bill to sign; refusing to do which, he was again put into a canoe, in which was a large stone, and set afloat. He however effected a landing a few miles below Burlington. iV. Y. Tribune Another Female Sailor. A female sailor, only 16, and who had been three years on board a sloop on the Devonshire coast, was recently discovered at Brixham. -She was treating a couple of lasses at a fruit garden, with all imaginable gallantry, when a tailor interfered with her girls, which she re sented, and a batllo ensued, in which the dis.- guised heroine was severely beaten, and the bystanders in offering to assist her, discovered her sex, to their great astonishment, and that of the tailor himself, whom she had manfully withstood. Disease among Cattle. It is stated that 20 or 30 cattle have recently died in the vicin ty of Byfield, Mass., in tho course of a few hours after they were attacked. No satisfac tory account has been given of the cause of the disease, but it is supposed to have occurred from eating the loaves of the wild cherry tree which has long been known to be fatal to neat cattle. Two cattle were also poisoned in Claremont, N. H., last week, in consequence of eating the leaves of a black cherry tree. They died in a few minutes after eating the leaves.
