Considerable discussion were on an a
mendment by the Senate, to an amendment
made by the House to a Bill from the Sen.
ate, entitled a "Supplement to the act incor.
' !prating the Cumberland Valley Rail Road
ComPany." The amendment is an unim
:l portant ono, and was finally concurred in.
, A motion was made by Mr. STEVENS,
-,/.that the House proceed this afternoon to the
consideration of the improvement Bill,
!. which was after considerable discussion, in
which ,
, Messrs. STEVENS, WALKER of Erie,
KARNS and SPACEMAN participated in favor
of the motion; and Messrs. T. S. &urn,
COPIRAD and BIDLACK in opposition thereto.
The motion of Mr. STEVENS, however, pre
, railed. This afternoon the bill passed thro'
Committee of the Whole, with sundry im
portant amendments, which must, however,
rather have a tendency to increase the
chance of its passage,than otherwise. Two
entirely new sections were
,offered by Mr.
STEVENS, which were adopted—the inten
tion of which are further to provide for pur
poses of GENERAL EDUCATION, by an ap.
propriation to the Education Fund of be.
tween FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND A
itxxxiox or DOLLARS; and for the establish•
merit of Branches in other States, provided
it be so ordered by their respective Legisla-
turea. The features of the bill are such
that they can not fail to receive the sanction
of alt impartial men, who have a desire for
the prosperity and welfare of the "Key-
Stone State," by. Internal Improvetnonts
and Education. No doubt some ofthe par•
tizans of Andrew Jackson, LL. D., will
be soon horribly shocked at the "Monster;"
t it is to be presumed, and hoped, that a
majority of FREEILEN are not so easily inti-
inidated. As the bill, as amended in Com
mittee of the Whole, is to be printed, I for-
lon reported a bill consolidating the several
acts relative to a General System of Edu
cation by Common Schoolb; which has been
made the order of the day for the 15th of

House in a day or two; what its fate will he
in the Senate, is difficult to conjecture.—
Strong hopes are however entertained by
the friends of the bill, that the importance
of the measure, and the benefits that would
naturally result to the Commonwealth from
its passage, will enlist the favor of a majority
of chat body in its support. It is sincerely
to be hoped, that a measure fraught with so
many blessings, w;:: not be sacrificed at the
shrine of partizan feelings.
HARRISBURG, Jan. 27,1830.
The House met this morning, and after
the journal was read adjourned for the pur
pose of.attending the funeral of JA3IES
Tnitantx, Esq. in conformity with a resolu-
tion adopted yesterday.
We had a session this aflernoon,the whole
of which was occupied until past six o'clock,
on the Bill for the re-charter of the United
States Bank. The question was on an a
mendment to an amendment in the sixth
section when the House adjourned on yester
day. This afternoon the consideration of
the amendment to the amendment was re
sumed, and negatived. The sixth section
occupied the whole of the session, and would
not have been disposed of yet, had the pre-
vious question not been called for by Nfr.
STEVENS. There has been a disposition by
the "faithful," to destroy the bill by loading
it with amendments. But regardless of all
he opposition they can make against it
things are assuming a more favorable aspect,
and strong hopes are entertained, that it
will not only pass the Houk, by a very large
majority, but that it will also receive the
concurrence of the Senate. Surely Penn
sylvanians will not prove so recreant to their
interest and the prosperity of the State, as
to sufFer the favorable opportunity to pass
by without availing themselves of its bles
sings. New York, Maryland and Virginia,
are just waiting to see the result of the de-
liberations of the legislature of Pennsylvania,
and should she reject the measure, either of
those States will be anxious to secure it, and
thus conduce to their own prosperity, at the
sacrifice of poor deluded and misguided
Pennsylvania.
HARRISBURG, Jan. 28, 1830.
I have merely time to inform you that
the House has had two sessions of about 8
hours, the whole of which was occupied on
the subject of the bank. It has at length
got through second reading with various
important amendments, one of which was by
Mr. STEVENS, to appropriate to purposes of
General Educatiou, the sum of two millions
of dollars to be paid to the General School
fund in twenty annual , instalments, beside the
five hundred thousand dollars to be paid on
the third of March next. Tomorrow the
bill will be up on third reading. There is
no doubt of its passage in the House. The
vote on transcribing for the third reading
was Yeas 56, Nays 33.
HARRISBURG, Jan. 29, 1839.
The Bill re-charterin! the United States
Bank and for other purposes, passed the
House of Representatives today, and has
been sent to the Senate for concurrence.—
The vote on its final passage was Yeas 57,
Nays 30. As to what will be its fate in the
Senate is very uncertain. The Bill report
ed near the commencement of the session,
for the suppression of secret societies, bound
together by secret and unlawful oaths, was
today considered in committee of the whole,
and reported by the Chairman with several
unimportant amendments.

Qcp- The subjoined Report was made to the Court
of Quarter Sessicius of Adams county on Tuesday last:
WE, the subscribers, appointed viewers
of the Poor-house by your Honorable body,
have performed the duty assigned us and
report as follows, to wit:
We find the number of Paupers to be 65
32 males, of the average age of 54 years—
more than the half of whom have been re
duced to their present destitute situation by
intemperance. There are 22 Females, of
the avenge age of 45, and 11 children un
der 12 years. Many of the women and
children have been brought to their present
dependent situation by the intemperance of
those whose duty it ought to have been to
provide for their necessities. The calcula
tion is a very simple one, and one which
we would recommend to all tax payers, hoW
much of the poor taxes might be' saved
honest exertions in the cause of temperance?
To the Philanthropist, how much of human
misery and crime might be prevented?
The establishment is well kept; the pour
comfortable; the Farm, (Sze. in good order.
It is to be understood that when we speak
of the intemperance of the Paupers, it is not
from our own knowledge, but from the best
information we could obtain.

THE INDIAN WAR.
By the Savannah Georgian of the 14th
inst. it appears intelligence had been receiv
ed from St. Augustine bringing the most
alarming accounts of the war; also of the
scarcity of provisions. The whole of the
neighboring country people have flocked to
town and left their corn and provisions,which
are all destroyed. At least 2eo to 250 ne
groes to be fed; the few horses and compan
ies getting all their supplies from St. Augus
tine, and there being only one sohooner, the
_ _
S. S. Mills, in the trade to Charleston, and
she making hing trips. The provisions in
fact are nearly out; lard, pork and bread are
not to he got; the butchers cannot go into
the country to get beef, and the fishermen
are on the night-guard. There was not a
vessel in port of any description by which
to make their ebcape, if necessary. The
road from St. Augustine to Picolata is occu•
pied by Indians; and it was expected all, in
tercourse between St. Augustine and Jack
sonville or Pablo would be cut off.
In the battle of IV ithlacoechee of the 31st
Dec. it appears that Gen. Clinch marched
from Fort Crane Dec. 29th,wit h 212 regular
and 550 volunteers militia, that on Monday,
the 31st at daylight they reached the With
locoochee river, and loud instead of a ford
as reported by the guides, a rapid deep
stream. The regulars crossed over first,
seven men at a time in a canoe, and march-
ing 400 yards from the river encamped, and
remained unmolested two hours, during
which time only 25 militia joined them.—
The Indians now emerged from the adjoin
ing hummock, and were immediately charg.
ed upon by Col. Fannin and the regulars.—
Gen. Clinch who had now crossed, took com
mand and again charged, when the Indians
wore dispersed, leaving 14 dead.
Many bodies must have been removed and
the slaughter must have been tmmense, as
the troops discharged among them 1000
rounds of ball and buck shot duriag the ac•
tion for 70 minutes. There were 4 regulars
killed, 50 wounded, volunteers 4 wounded.
Late in the day, finding no ground for en- .
campment,re.crossed the river in good order,
and returned to Fort Crane, whore the vol
unteers immediately set off' for home, their
time of seryice having expired. Captain W.
M. Graham was badly wounded; Lieut. C.
Graham,sevorely in the chin and leg; Lieut.
Ridgely received a wound in the arm. After
Lieut. C. Graham had fidlen, his Sergeant
(there being no other officer with him) gal
lantly led on the company. Major Lyttle
had a horse shot undor him. Colonel War
ren, of the volunteers, had a severe wound
in the breast. Dr. Clarke also had his horse
shot undor him. Major Cooper was shot
through the body.
DISTRESSING FROM FLORIDA.
Butchery of two Companies of U. S. Troops.
The Mobile papers of the 12th inst. fur
nish the annexed account of a most horrible
butchery of two companies of United States
troops by the Seminole Indians. These
ruthless savages have now, for several
weeks, had complete possession of a large
part of the Territory of Florida, and have
burned,robbed and massacred, almost with
out resistance. How wise .it would be to
provoke an invasion from a few regiments
of French troops, when a horde of wild In
dians can thus overrun one of the Territo
ries of the United States.
From the Mobile Chronicle, Jan. 12.
HORRID MASSACRE.
By the mail bout Muzeppa, Capt. Cur.
son, arrived yesterday afternoon, from New
Orleans, we have teemed the painful and
distressing intelligence of the surprize and
massacre of two companies of United States
Troops, under the command of Major Dade,
conqsting of 112 men, by the Seminole In
dians.
Major Dade had started with his Troops
from Tampa Buy to Camp King to join
Gen. Clinch, when on the morning of the
28th December at eight o'clock, they were
surrounded by a large body of Indians, sup
posed to number from 860 to 1000, and
were cut to pieces. Only three men of the
112 escaped, badly wounded, to recount the
lamentable history of the butchery of their
fellow soldiers.
Major Dade was shot oil' his horse on the
commencement of the. attack. Captains
Gardner and Fraser soon after fell mortal
ly wounded, and their scalps were taken by
the savages. Lieutenants Bassinger, Hen
derson, Mudge and Kean, and Dr. Gatlin,
Surgeon to the detachment, were all slain.
Lieutenant Bassinger was wounded on the
onset, and was discovered by a negro in the
party of savages, crawling off to a place of
concealment, and tomahawked. We do not
remember the history of a butchery more
horrid,. and it stands . without an example
in the annuls of Indian warfare. Our citi.
zees, we are sure will meet together and
send some relief to the suffering and de
fenceless inhabitants of Florida.
Colonel Twiggs of the U: S. Army, char.
tered the steamboat Merchant,. and started
with four companies of troops from New
Orleans to Tamba Bay, Major Belton is
now there with the force under his com
mand.
A letter from Nassau,of the 7th inst. states
that the trial of the 180 Tesiau volunteers,

Upon the capture of Lisbon by Don Pedro,
his brother Don Miguel abandoned the siege
of Oporto, and encamped with his army be
fore the capital. The country residence of
Mr. Brent, the American Charge d'Affliirs,
was 'situated upon the banks of the river
Tagus, and near it engagements sometimes
took place, between the small detachments
of the two contending armies. On one oc
casion, during the absence of Mr. Brent, a
company of the troops of Don Miguel, hay
ing.uppeared on a height near that country
seat, a battle ensued between it and some
boats of Don Petite, in the Tagus. While
the battle was raging, the shot passed so
near the residence of Mr. Brent as to en
danger the safety of the family; whereupon,
Mrs. Brent, alarmed at their situation,rush
od forward, and with her own hands, un
furled the "star spangled banner," and
waved it from the window. The sight of
the "broad stripes and• bright stars," had a
most powerful effect on the contending
threes. The firing on both sides instants=
neously ceased, and Mrs. Brent retired from"
the window, perfectly satisfied of her secu
rity, while under the protection of the Amer

03-The Governor has appointed this gentleman to
the office of Register fur Montgomery county. No
appointment has given us greater satisfaction. The
Secretary under Simon Snyder—the early and stead
fast friend of Democracy and of Democratic Anti-Ma
sonry, and the inestimable citizen in private as well
as in public file, is justly worthy the notice of the
appointing power. Gov. RITNER may well be assu
red that the appointment to office of such men, while
it bespeaks the soundness of his head and heart, will
do much to build up and establish an administration
upon a basis so firm that the united forces of a cunning
and wicked Lodge will labor in vain to pull down.
TAXES! TAXES! TAXES!
ac.,4- It affords us great pleasure to state that the
Bill reported by Mr. STEVENS, to REPEAL THE
STATE TAXES, AND COMPLETE THE PODLIC IM
PROVEMENTS NOW IN PROGRESS WITHOUT FUR
THER TAXING THE PEOPLE, has passed the
House of Representatives by a large majority, and
been sent to the Senate for its concurrence. A strong
effort is making by the Grand Lodge, and its super
nuaseraries,to have it rejected by that body. A com
mittee has been appointed by the Grand Lodge to at
tend in the Senate Chamber to browbeat and threaten
political annihilation to every "Democrat" who shall
dare vote for it! Yes, to declare any Senator who acts
for the People—and disregards the calls of the Lodge
and of party, as PURCHASED and anitme by the Bank!
Is there one Senator in that body who would be intlu
ented by tiuy other consideration than the wishes and
best interests of his tanstituents—not the interests of
a portion of his party—but of the trhote district which
he represents? No, we cannot believe it. Such men
as MIDDLECOFF, PENROSE, LEET and others, know
that the People have been ground to the dust by TAX
ATION UPON TAXATION; and their dignified course
heretofore warrants us in believing, that they will re
sent all threats and dictation, to coerce or drive them
in the way the Lodge or its unprincipled partizans
may dictate. And that when they can,by an honora
ble and high-minded course, he the means of rescuing
their beloved State from impending BANKRUPTCY,
their regard for party whims—party threats, will van
IA in a desire for relieving THE PEOPLE of an almost
intolerable burthen. On the Senate now are the
hopes of the hard working Yeomenry of the State for
relief from this burthen. May their hopes be realized,
and the State saved from bankruptcy!
P. S. In the Senate, we learn, tho Bill has been
referred to a very large Committee—a majority of
whom aro supposed to be favorable to its passage.
Our readuis have already been made acquaint.
ed with the provisions of the above Bill, through
our attentive Harrisburg Correspondent. A new
section was added just before its final passage in
the House, appropriating an additional sum of
$500,000, payable on the ad of March, 1837
$lOO,OOO on the Ist of Jane next, and on each suc•
eeeding Ist day of June von NINETEEN V EAItII
thereafter, the like sums of 100,000, to be . paid
over with the annual appropriation . provided by
the Commonwealth for COMMON SCHOOL
PURPOSES. This is a most important addition,
and cannot fail to add much to the importance
of the passage of the 03111 by the Senate.

:mance of that call, in Harrisburg, on the 14th of
December last,—and whereas, a majority of said
Convention, after tieing called faro specified pur
pose, in total disregard adult call and tho usages
of the party lioretotore,did deem it necessary and •
"expedient" to treat with contempt those who
sent thorn there, and go into a nomination of
Candidates fin• the Presidency and Vice Presiden
cy, to be supported—not by the Anti• Masons of
other States—but simply by the party in Peon
rylvania—thoreby dissolving National Anti.Ma
sonry, and our existence ria a National party
'Flierefbro
Hese/red, That tho Anti-Masons of Adams
county cantiot counteuanco so groat arid unwar.
ranted departure Irmo the established usages of
the party; and that they do not, nor can they re
gard or consider tho nominations outdo by tho
said Stale Convention binding upon them.
Resolved, That the delegates from Adams
co
unty ueted perfectly consistent and proper in
withdrawing from further participations in the
proceedings of the Convention, after the object of
assembling said Convention was set at naught by
the majority present.
Reeolved, That we highly approve of the con.
duct of the inflexibly minority in withdrawing
and protesting against the proceedings of the ma.
jority, end in appointing delegates to a National
Convention—behoving that the only course to be
pursued calculated to preserve our pure princi
ples and distinctive party organization.
Reso/ved, That we have full and perfect con-.
fidence in the pure Anti-Masonic principles, and
correct views of National policy entertained by
the Delegates appointed to represent us in the N e .
tumult Anti Masonic Convention—and that they
will, us has heretofore been done, sleoct none but
firm and consistent friends and supporters of the
Constitution and Laws, for our support, for the
high and responsible offices of President and
Vice President of tho United States.
Resolved, That the binding principle of our
party being Anti-Masonry, we protest against and
will oppose, all attempts to merge us into a per
sonal party—" Principles, and not men," being
tho bond of our union; that the- Anti. Masons of
Adams county attribute the success which has
heretofore crowned their efforts in the cause of
Anti-Masonry, to the rigid adherence to these
principles which has characterized them on all
occasions; anti that they will thus "PEItfiENZRE,"
until the total suppression and extinction of al?
secret oath-bound societies shall ho effected.
Resolved, That we view the result of the late
attempt of our Legislature to investigate the Evils
of Free Masonry as alarming proof of the power
and influence of the Lodge upon its members—
and their shameful disregard of the Constitution
and Laws of the State; arid which calls aloud for
united action in future by all opposed to such oaths
bound societies, and us well as for Legislative ac
tion upon the subject.
Resolved, That our Senators and Represent°,
Lives in the Legislature be requested to user
their influence in procuring the passage of a lavtr
prohibiting the administration of Extra-Judicial
oaths or obligations, and rendering just cause of
challenge to Jurors where ono party is a member •
of such association or society and the other is not...
Resolved, That the Secretary forward copies of
these proceedings to our members in the State
Leg islatore r and call their attention to the two pre..
ceding Resolutions.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting
be signed by the oilicets, and published in tha
Harrisburg "Telegraph," Pittsburg "Tunes" and
"Gazette," and such other papers as may see pro,
per to insert them.

public has not been surpassed by any inven
tion of the kind. Its construction is exceed

be -threshed with ease with one horse, and
ono hundred with two horses. Some of the
fi►rmers of Cumberland County have used
the machine for threshing Clover Seed, and
find it fo answer. the purpose excellently;
and yet it is sold for LESS MONEY than
any that we knoW of.

Mr. M'CLEtr.ii's Barn; in Gettysburg, drir.

the Farmers to call and judge for themselves;
and not a doubt is entertained of their being
fully satisfied, that no machine has ever been
offered which answers the purpose in all
respects as - well as this.
