FROM WASHINGTON,
No Extra Session—The Sub• Treasury to be
Amended !
The Philadelphia Inquirer of the 27th
inst. has the following letter from Wash
ington, received by Telegraph :
WASHINGTON, JAn• 26, 1847.
The President says he will not call an
Extra Session under any circumstances.
If Congress fail to make the appropria
tions, the responsibility will be with
them.
A bill is in preparation by the Finance
Committee, to amend the Sub-Treasury,
so as to allow the Secretary to transfer
funds in any form—and authorizing Mint
Certificates. W. H.
Thus it appears that the Administra
tion are compelled to change their
gtound on the humbug Sub-Treasury—
the specie clause is to be abandoned, and
these bank-hating Locofocos are about
to adopt the use of " rascally bank rags!"
to carry on the financial operations of
tge Government. " Tell it not in Gath
—publish it not in the streets of Aska
lon !"
[Cori espontlenco of the North American.]
Passage of the Treasury Bank Bill!
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27, 1847,
The Treasury Note Bill was put upon
its final passage in the Senate and car
ried, but two votes dissenting—Mr. Cor
win and Mr. Cilley. It was then sent
to the House, where the amendments
were instantaneously concurred in—
thence to the President, who held his
immortal goose quill ready for the deed,
and finally to the Secretary of the Treas
ury, who stood surrounded by a band of
patriots, ready to relieve him of no in
considerable portion of the paper cur
rency of this hard money administra
tion (!) For days past the warrants of
the Treasury have been refused the sig
nature of the Secretary, because of the
inability of the department to meet the
current demands, or when lie did sign
by special favor, they were redeemed by
advances from Messrs. Corcoran and
Riggs, private bankers.
The Ten Regiment bill was taken up,
and Mr. Atchison enlightened the Sen
ate with his views in favor of the Vol
unteer system. He was followed by
Mr. Dayton in one of the ablest and
most fearless speeches of the session—
a speech which exposed at one view the
inconsistency, folly and rashness of the
Administration—in making the war—,
in conducting it, and in all the policy,
financial and military, connected with
its prosecution. His review of the
Lieutenant General proposition was any
ihing but agreeable to Mr. Benton, and
the friends of the Administration winced
under the exposure which he made of
Mr. Polk's restoration of Santa Anna
to reanimate and invigornte the failing
fortunes of Mexico.
Mr. Cilley's resolutions in regard to
withdrawing the army to the Rio Grande,
came up and were unanimously voted
down.
The House passed the Bounty Land
Bill, granting 80 acres of land to the sol
dier who served for six months, and 160
acres to those who served for a year or
during the war. The majority impeded
its passage with every manner of amend
ments, because they never designed it
to become a law. For this reason was
it, that Mr. Benton struggled so violent
ly to lop off Gen. Cameron's proposition
from the Ten Regiment Bill, well know
ing that it was always in the power of
the majority to prevent an ordinary in
dependent bill from being fairly brought
before the Senate, and an evidence of it
was illustrated to-day. Mr. Benton had
urged as an objection to the amendment,
that a specific measure was then under
consideration in the House. Mr. Atchi
son in the course of his remarks, sug
gested to him to suspend the discussion
of the pending bill, and to talk of that
which had now passed the House—but
he refused his assent.
There is every reasonable prospect the
debate will be protracted during the
week, if not beyond it. Notwithstand
ing the babbling of the organ, it has been
admitted by the friends of the Adminis
tration on the floor of the Senate, that
"there is no hurry for its passage," and
every body knows if " regulars" are
adopted as they probably will be, these
ten Regiments cannot be enlisted within
a year.
Confusion in Congress,—The corres
pondent of the Baltimore American, in
speaking of the proceedings of Cqngress
on the 27th ult. says :
"In the House there was fun not a
little ! After the passage of the bill to
increase the pay of the volunteers and
grant them land bounties, Mr. SCHENCK
called up his resolutions for the with
drawal of the Armi &c. Oh, what an
uproar it created ! fhirty , or forty mem
bers all on their feet and all talking at
the same moment ! The Speaker look
ed as if he thoughtiPandainonium had
broken loose ! He made a decision—
an honest one—and forthwith it was ap
pealed from, and the party came very
near reversing it for party ends, although
every member must have known that it
-was correct. Then came the changing
of votes on the question of receiving Mr.
SCHENCK'S resolutions for action. Some
thing like fifty grave members who had
voted and had their names recorded,
rose one after another, and had their
votes changed ! And, that too, for par
ty purposes! Great, upright and con
sistent legislators!
General Taylor.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Jour
nal of Commerce, writing from Wash
ington, says:
"The Union says that uncontradicted
rumor points to Gen. Gaines as the
friend to whom General Taylor's letter
was addressed, and by whose permis
sion it was published.' A letter from
this city, in a New York paper, states
that Gen. Gaines had admitted that the
letter was addressed to him, and by him
published.
" But, after all, the fact is not so.—
The letter in question was addressed to
a friend and relative, and it was in this
city before it was sent to New York.—
It may possibly have passed through
General Gaines's hands to the press,
but not probably. lam inclined to be
lieve the publication was made, upon
deliberate consideration, by Gen. Tay
lor's friends, who probably thought it
time to return the fire which was pour
ing in upon General Taylor from the
masked batteries of the administration."
PROPOSED MODIFICATION OF THE TARIFF.
—The Washington correspondent of the
North American says, that the Secre
tary of the Treasury will recommend an
increase of ten per cent. on Coal, and
ten per cent. on Iron—generally, a re
duction of ten per cent. on Scythes,
Axes, &c., upon which, he says, the rev.
enue is depreciated by prohibition, and
in which he is decidedly mistaken, for
the policy has not been fairly tested.—
He will also recommend thirty per cent.
increase on refined sugar.
THE SUR-TREASURY.—The Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore
American, says :--" There are inten
tions, I believe, to amend the Sub-Treas
ury Bill, by contriving some new machi
nery to prevent the counting of specie
by the Sub-Treasurers. The time con
sumed is more than the patience and
number of clerks will allow. The con
trivance designed is paper money, to
bear the sobriquet of " mint certificates."
These are to be added to the $28,000,-
000 which were authorized by the act
of Wednesday.
The Ten Regiment Bill is still under
discussion in the Senate, and the Naval
Appropriation Bill in the House.
Resolutions of thanks to Gen. Taylor
have been introduced into Congress.
Awful Calamity
One-fourth of Ripley, Ohio, in .nshes—
Great loss of Property-7'heee Children
Burned to Death—two Fireman Killed.
The Ripley Telegraph Extrn, of Jan.
214, dated 4 o'clock, A. M., says—
" A-IYout one o'clock•this morning, a fire
broke out in the iron foundry of Messrs.
Bentry & Burt, which was soon wrapt
in flames. The Relief Fire company
did every thing that mortals could do,
but all was ineffectual. McMill & Rey
nolds' large Mercantile house with its
contents, is totally destroyed, so rapidly
did the flames spread. Also the Mer
chant Tailor Shop of Johnson & Cremp.
Three children of the widow Lenson,
whose house was burned, perished in the
flames. Dungan's Hotel is now in flames.
The same extra, dated 5 o'clock, in
forms us that the Telegraph office and
its contents save a few materials, is de
stroyed and the extra was worked off
in the street. At least one fourth of the
town is in ashes, and the flames still ex
tending in every direction. God knows,
says the Telegraph, where it will end.
Two firemen were killed by the falling
of timber."
Another.
A fire occurred at Chilicothe, Ohio,
on Saturday night 23d ultimo, which
destroyed some twelve or fifteen houses,
generally small frames. Damage not
very great.
Indian Disturbances,
Accounts from the Upper Missouri
River state that a battle took place on the
16th of December, near Council Bluffs,
between a band of Sioux Indians and a
band of the Omahas, in which sixty of
the latter were killed before the conflict
terminated. The Sioux had a few days
before murdered a number of Omaha
women and children whilst the warriors
were absent on a hunt. Four days be
fore this event a lodge of the Omahas
was attacked by a party of the Ayonas,
and four men killed.
A letter from Fort Scott, in the St.
Louis Republican states that the Sac
and Osage Indians had recently held a
council in the Osage nation, the object
of which was to unite their forces and
influence, to rob and plunder the whites,
possibly under the impression that they
could obtain aid from Mexico.
The Osages and Creeks were also
about commencing hostilities.
The Common Council of Sayan.
nah, Geo., have appropriated $5,000 to.

The Steamer Hibernia, Capt. Ryrie,
arrived in Boston at 20 minutes past 7,
A. M. on Monday 25th inst. The fol
, lowing summary is compiled from Tel
egraphic despatches of the New York
' journals. The Hibernia experienced
much rough weather, and her passage
was prolonged to nineteen days in con
sequence. She was detained more than
the usual time at Halifax, where the
Governor General of Canada, Lord El
gin and suite landed. At Halifax it was
found necessary to take in a fresh sup
ply of coal.
The last message of the President has
been much found fault with in England.
It has been universally attacked by the
press, and that portion of it relating to
the Mexican war handled with very lit
tle courtesy. The passage in which he
states that the war was not undertaken
for conquest has been severely com
mented on. The English press, how
ever, says that it gives a hopeful assu
rance that the ,Imerican 7ariff, so far
as it regards British goods, will be main
tained, and gives English manufacturers
a cheerful prospect for their trade for
the coming Spring.
The condition of Ireland continues to
be the absorbing object of attention.—
Day after day the distress continues to
increase, and famine is doing the work
of Death in various parts of the coun

Immense numbers of poor half star

Channel and beg, and exist as best as
they can by appeals to the feelings of
the inhabitants in the great towns of Eng
land.
The suffering population in the high
lands and Islands of Scotland, is esti
mated at 100,000. A considerable sup
ply of potatoes has arrived in London
from Holland.
Mr. O'Connel is looking feeble, and is
said to be fast assuming the character of
extreme old age.
The Government had offered Father
Mathew a pension of £4OO a year.
Cotton advanced since the 4th ult.
Flour advanced 5 to 6 shillings per
barrel.
Corn 12 to 14 shillings per qr.
Wheat, 3 to 4 shillings per qr.
Meal, 5 shillings per bbl.
The Money market quiet.
From 2 to 300,0001 in specie came on
in the steamer.
Corn 68 to 72s.—Flour, in bond 37 to
38s.
Large sales of lard in kegs, 48 a 50s.
American beef and pork in demand—
supplies large, and prices firm.
A Paris paper asserts that the French
Government intends to propose to the
Chambers a considerable reduction in
the duties on foreign corn.
Rome has been visited by terrible in
undations; the distress is great, and the
amount of property destroyed is serious.
The pew Pope has mitigated their hard
ships by his purse and his personal exer
tions.
He also has reduced the duty on the
exports and imports of grain into the
Roman dominions.
MR. W EBSTER AND TUE ENGLISH.—
The London Times makes itself merry
over Mr. Webster's recent tariff speech,
and thinks the Americans will never be
such fools as to go back to the protective
policy! It advises brother Jonathan to
listen to English wisdom instead of Mr.
Webster, and ridicules the idea that the
American constitution should be a rally
ing point for any party. Very disinter
ested counsellor !
lOWA SENATORS.—The St. Louis Re
publican of the 16th instant says :—The
Legislature of lowa failed to meet in joint
session on the sth instant, to elect Sen
ators in Congress. The election stood
adjourned to that day, but the Locofoco
members of the Senate, fearing the re
sult, refused to meet the House in joint
session, and it is now probable that no
election will take place at the present
session.
