The locofoco party have completely chan ged their ground—have faced about—have deserted their furmer principles—and are now acting in open contradiction to all their professions for tho last four years. We remember well when the Leoi s i a ture 0f1835-6 chartered the United States Bank. There arose a cry from that par ty that reverberated through the dome of heaven like the rumbling that tells of the earthquake's approach. Meetings were hold in every county, and in every township in the State —and REPEAL! REPEAL! came home on the wings of every breeze, from every hill and every dale—till it seem ell that no earthly power could withstand the onset. Charges of fraud—of bribery. and of all manner of corruption, were made against the men who chartered the bank. They were denounced as traitors—as RANK BOUGHT APOSTATES—as INFA MOUS DESERTERS from principle, dzc. No name was too opprobrious—no epithet too vile to be applied to them. In vain we said the chartering of the bank had brought millions into the public treasury—in vain we said she would prove a resource to the commonwealth in the hour of her need. Her opponents wanted none of her money— they despised her means—they would not recognize the validity of her charter—it was conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity. They were determined, they said, that it should be taken trom her, and the 4 monster' of ill omen driven from the Com monwealth. When the intelligence that the bill to 'charter the bank had been reported, reach -ed Huntingdon, ti At once there rose so wild a yell, As all the fiends from heairen that fell, Had pealed the banner-cry of bell !" The party were 'indignant'—were outra ged—their rights invaded—and they resol ved to be heard at least. A meeting was called—it was said FIFTEEN HUNDRED MEN ,ATTENvEn ! but wo do not know how true this is, as the chairman may have been see ing double—and at that meeting the strong est anti bank preamble and resolutions that could be drawn up, were passed. It was not exceeded by any meeting in the State, for eloquent denunciation; and solemnly resolved, if our memory does not deceive -us, that the charter of the bank bill was in fact a nullity, and never could become bind ing on the people. And who do you think, reader, presided at this meeting, and signed its proceedings. Why no less a personage that DAVID R. PORTER, now Govern -or of the state of Pennsylvania. Well—time rolled 'on; and the cry a gainst the bank was still kept up. The members of the convention were elected in 1830, with reference to the repeal of its -charter, when the people decided against that measure; but still the cry of REPEAL! REPEAL I was rolled back and forth as the shibboleth of the party. David R. Porter assumed the reins of In on the 15th of January 1839. In his inaugural address, he overlooked the repeal of the charter, but recommended a .dissolution of tlieState from all 'entangling alliances' with banks. Bills to authorize the borrowing of money came up in both branches of the legislature, when proposi tion after proposition to compel the bank to loan' at 4 per cent., were voted down in the house of Representatives, in which the Gov ernor and his party had secured a majority; the ground that they intended to REPEAL THE BANK'S CHARTER so soon as they should get a majority in the Senate. Well during the recess of the Logisla. lure, the Governor borrowed money from the Bank at FIVE per cent. and told the le gislature in his annual message, that he had done so, but with great reluctance.' Im mediately on the reception of this message, bills were introduced Into both branches of the Legislature, to repeal the charter of the Bank ; and soon after various proposi tions, to compel the bank to loan money, were voted down by the dominant party, on the ground that, her charter was improper ly obtained, and should be taken from her, especially as she had led the way in suspen ding specie payments. But after all this denunciation—after all these charges against those who chartered the bank--after all this HUMBUG about the repeal of her charter, we found the Governor on Saturday last, announcing to the Legislature, that a loan to pay interest had not been taken, at the same time that he made a private arrangement with a com mittee of the U. S. Bank, by which it was stipulated that that institution would take the loan provided the Governor would check all those rash measures which wore calcu lated to produce a scene of unparalled ruin and disaster, from the centre to the circumference of' the Commonwealth!' And in pursuance of that arrangement the loan was taken as will appear from the fol. lowing message, communicated on Satur day, viz : 7o the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. GENTLE3IEN—I have to communicate to the Legislature, that the loan authorised by the act of the 22d January last, has been taken as follows: $lOO,OOO by the president, directors and company of tho Bank of Pennsylvania ; 8100,000 by the Girard Bank ; and tho re mainder by the BANK OF THE U 1 S.; by reason of which the Commonwealth is now able to pay ofFand dicharge $050,000 of the interest which fell due upon the Ist instant, upon her loans. The amount provided by the Legislature for the payment of interest, in the said act of the 23d of January last, was evidently fixed by the report of the State Treasurer on the subject of finances of 9th January. From a statement now furnished by that canoe, it appears that the whole amount of interest dueon the Ist instant, was Deduct the appropriation ofth© • 23, of January, $650,000 00 Patti from Troasury,27,73o 00 Thus tit* is a balance of $40,860 78; for the paymerit of which immediate p'o• provision should be mn'e by the Legisla• ture. It may not be improper to add, that the further fiction of the Legislature on the sub• ject of the joint resolution recommended in my message of the Ist instant, ►s now unite cessary. February 3,1840. What is the present condition of our rulers? Every pledge violated—every promise d►s regarded. Theypave not only recognized the validity of the bank charter, but taken loans from her on terms far more profitable to her than those on which she could have been forced to lend. Her charter WILL NOT be repealed —the humbug on that subject is ended. She will go on in her course, undisturbed by any adverse or co• ercive action towards her. The reader must not suppose we regret the change that hascome over affairs hero. On the contrary we rejoice at it. We now have our enemies bearing witness to the wisdom and foresight of the Legislature of 1835-6—we now find the present Governor acknowledging, in the most pointed man• ner, the wisdom and patriotism of his pre decessor, in providing a' beast of burden,' (as she has been contemptuously designated by those who now borrow from her)jo bear the Commonwealth through her financial difficulties. We have the testimony of his acts, which in these days, is far more val uable than that of profession. But what will become of the honest but misguided men, who have been led by un• pi incipled politicians to wage a war of ex termination against the institution that those same politicians have now taken to their embrace ? Will they still be led by these who laugh at their simplicity, and use their delusion for the vilest purposes? W ill they 'about face' with Goveirior Porter, and ac knowledge themselves to be either knaves or fools? We shall see. THE NATIOMAL GOVERNMENT BANK The people of Pennslyrania were com pelled week before last to witness the dis. graceful spectacle of their noble common. wealth failing to pay the interest on her public debt, and confessing bankruptcy to her creditors. Now we have to announce that the National Government is also ap proaching that last effect of loco foco doc• trines and management, and is threatened with ran empty treasury. Although the President declared in hi annual message that " the financial operations of the Gov ernMent during the last year had been very successful," and that " all the out-standing Treasury notes could be redeemed, and the ordinary expenses paid without imposing additional burdens on the people, either of loans or increased taxes ;" he was compel. ed to send in a supplementary message to Congress sin Tuesday of last weekrdecla ring:that certain judicial decisions" have had the effect of decreasing the accruing TC• venue, to the amount of two millions of dol lars. The Executive and his Secretary oi l the Treasury, say that to increase the rates ' of duties would not afford sufficiently prompt relief for the exigencies of the Government, and they urge upon Congress the adoption of more expeditious measures. There is nothing left then tg be done but to grant authority for the issue of a new batch of Treasury Notes, and now the governments of the United States and Pennsylvania are both proposing to issue their own irredee• mable paper in order to meet the demands of their creditors. Thus they pay their debts by the issuing of now evidence of' debt, to which they add the interest due on the old principal, and at this rate of proceed ing, we ask the people how soon they ex pect to be clear of the burden, and be able to say " wo owe no man any thing?"—The present state of things is the legitimate con sequence of loco loco rule, and if it is desi• sable to return to a more safe—more hon est, and more honourable administration of public affairs, it can only be done by a change of officers. Elect Old Tippecanoe —throw klaide loco foco experiments and expedients—use the public resources for the good of the country, and not the emolument of office-holders and the advancement of par ty interests, and all will be again well— prosperity will bo enjoyed, and the country resume her onward march, uncacumbered with pecuniary embarrassments and politi. cal shackles.— York Rep. . From the Philadelphia Evening Star HEAR ONE WHO WAS AN OPPONENT The Ohio Freeman, edited by Captain Duffy an old soldier and an original Jackson man, thus speaks of the gallant Harrison and hie calumniators. Hear the old soldier! GENERAL H.A RRISON. As must be very evident to my numerous readers, I have neither the time to write, nor the room for long articles. Yet, if I were to perpetrate a long article, I think it would be in favor of General Harrison. I know full well the light I am viewed in by those who pretend to all the consistency in the world, and who would fain make people believe that they were the only patriots in the world, because they would probably prove themselves to be the merest slaves and sycophants to their party. I hear of men, of their character, who belong to all sides,who are one day in raptures with the freemen, and on the next, would serve him as was served poor Captain Belisarius—that is tear nut his very eyes and send him off to beg his bread But, as I am no office hunter, and have no claims to make fin services rendered my country—she having paid me up as I per formed my duty—l may, as an honest and disinterested witness, be permitted to say just what I think of one, and ofall her yen• arable and well-tried patriots ; and I may at this time particularly allude to one of them, whom a certain party, known as the Whig Democratic Party, have nominated as a sui table candidate for the Presidency• Well, it is a great while since I read MarmontaPs affecting little story of poor blind Belibarius. I remember that I bor rowed it from the chaplain of our ship, who 8718,610 76 677,730 00 $40,860 78 DAVID R. PORTER was a pretty clever fellow, without being a very pious man, and that 1 read it between two of the larboard guns, on the gun deck, seated on a match tub. Years have passed away, and I have been rich and poor, a sul. dier, a politician, and a Muralist since ! But the memory of poor Belisarius will some times rise uppermost in my mind, oven now ; especially when I hear some profane and heartless tyro wagging his tongue, in derision of the tried courage, the venerable hairs, the patriotism, and the pure and spot less integrity of the few remaining defen ders of their country, in the days of her dif ficulty and great need! In the venerable person of Gen. Harrison, I see nothing, 'tis true, that can yet compare with the fate of poor Belisarius. Its eyes are yet spared him to look upon the smiling country, her cities, villages, and farms, he was so instrumental in building up from dreary and savage wilderness—he is still permitted to walk abroad over the face of the land he has so often and nobly defended, through the Providence of Heaven, without leader or staff ; but, like those of Belisari us, his ears are too often pained with the ungrateful acclamations of his countrymen, and his venerable brow too frequently feels the pressure of the ruffian hand of the par tizan, tearing from thence the unwithering chaplets of his pure and spotless fame! There is, therefore, according to my cal culation of the history of Belisurius, some little similiarities in the two cases. Both were soldiers, and both deserved well of the honors of their country, and both were set up as fit marks for the malignant ridicule and foul derision of foul and debased party I 0, it is cruel, too cruel, and too unjust, for the patience of a generous people to bear, to hear one of the truest and bravest and most worthy of their countrymen, tra duced in character— a his services defamed —and all the proud and noble darings of his youth and prime of life, set at naught by the foul tongue of party slander? The rich and cherished honors of a life of toil, and of ar dent and untiring patriotism, trodden under foot by a ruthless arid mercenary, and ma lignant band of ignorant demagogues,whom a worse than ignorant people have chosen as their leaders, and into whose hands they have entrusted the destinies of themselves and of their country. I do not speak of him now as filling the attitude of a candidate for the Presidency. It is true, many of his countrymen have chosen to place him in that attitude, and he consented. And what of this? Shall his fellow citizsns,his fellow countrymen,there fore, in order to reach his patriotic pride and dash all his hopes in the dust, throw a shade of dishonor over the proudest era in western history—an era in which he figured so largely—out-topping, as it were,the toast gallant spirits of his time! If these demagogues do not intend that he shall be elected, let them at least, far the sake of their country, he just to him—for his fame, and the fame of their country , is so closely wedded together, that to mar the one is to blot the other! Do they know; that it they wound or destroy the fame of Gen. Harrison, they must first tear away many of the highest scrolls that emblazon the proud escutcheons of their country, and trample upon some of the fairest pages of her glorious history - I 1 am no partizan—and there are many others, who, like myself have become polit ically heart sick! But we can stand aaoth• or campaign, and we we will stand another campaign, If it needs be, in defence of the honest soldier who stood by us and our country, before many of those traducers were born, or fbund a peaceful asylum on shores! TALLAHASSEE, Jun. 7, 1840. Gen. Read was, on Sunday night last, very nearly killed by Willis Alston, broth• er of Augustus Alston, whom Gen. R. shot recently in a duel. This occurred in rho supper room about half past 6 o'clock, and whilst the room was crowded with persons who, at the moment, wore peacefully enga• gad with a dish of hot coffee, and your hum ble servant among them. Alston had un expectedly arrived from Texas; came into to lin about • 4 o'clock in the afternoon, per haps determined to revenge the death of his brother. Gen. Read, I understand, was advised of his arrival, but did not think proper to keep out of his way—on the con trary, came down to the Hotel after dark, where Alston stopped. Alter the supper bell had rung, arid all hands, about one hundred and fifty persons, were seated at the table Alston who came in, was standing very near the entrance with his elbow out, talking to some gentleman who were seat ed eating—at this time, Gen. Read also en tered, and, it is said, • jarred Alston's elbow as he passed going down the passage (about three feet wide) between the supper table and the wall of the hoube. 1 did not see either of them then, nor until after the row was over, though seated on that side of the table. After Gen. Rend had proceeded on his way about five paces below me, some thing induced him to turn his head (this is the report) towards Alston, and a hostile glance was thrown by both at each other. Alston immediately drew his pistol, and as Gen. Read had turned to him, fired and struck him about the lower part of the lap pet of his coat, the ball entering and mak ►ng a terribleund, (at first thought to be mortal;) and as Gen. Read rushed at him with his cane and pistol, Alston fired a se cond pistol, which missed Gen• Read, the ball penetrating the wall at the upper end of the room. Gen. Read then fired at Al ston, wounding him slightly in the hand, (so reported.) As Gen. Read rushed upon him at the door, Alston stabbed him badly with a Bowie knife, (not a mortal wound,) and cleared himself; he has not been seen or heard of mice Whilst this firing was going on, as 1 observed, I was between the combattsnts, and young from Alachua, was standing up by me, and behind my, chair. a little stooping. This was rather an awkward predicament for peaceable peo ple, and providential escape from death or serious harm. Gen. Read is slowly recov ering ; supposed to be out of danger.— The GEN. HARRISON'S POPULARITY AMONG IDS OLD SOLDIERS. We know of nothing that can bet regard ed as stronger proof of the real merits of the Old Hero, than the uniform and enthu siastic devotion which all his former asso ciates and companions in arms manifest in his support. They yield no reluctant—no hesitating acquiescence in the general ac knowledgments of his courage, his labours and his sufferings in defence of his fellow citizens, but one and all, without so much as an exception to the rule, join heart and hand in paying homage to his claims upon the gratitude of his country. They were with him in the times that tried men's souk and none can better appreciate his worth. To those in the Tory ranks who are vile enough to attempt by false and malignant aspersions to traduce Gen. Harrison, we would present the testimony of onetamong the thousands who still survive of those who have seen him standing in the front ranks of battle, and who are ready to testify to the peril to which he has hundreds of times exposed his life in defence of his country. Col. OTallon, of St. Louis, formerly his aid-de=camp, having been chosen president of the Tippecanoe Club, recently organized in that city, took occasion among other re marks to pay the following tribute to the merits of his former commander.—Ruston Atlas. " At the up of nineteen, I first became acquainted with the distinguished patriot, in whose behalf we have assembled, and having been by his side through nearly the whole of the last war, I can bear testimony to his cool, undaunted and collected courage, as well as to his skill, as an able, efficient and active offider. Atter the battle of Tip pecanoe, which has thrown so much glory over our country's arms, it was universally admitted that General Harrison was THE ONLY OFFICER ,THAT COULD DAVE SAVED TILE ARMY FROM. DEFEAT AND MASSACRE. SHOCKING FAMINES Sad Condition of British India-500,- 000 People swept yr.—British India is an empire as large as Europe, exclusive of Russia, with a population, including tribu• tary states, of more than 150,000,000. Over this empire and people, a sway is ex ercised wholly British; while it is affirmed that ignorance, poverty, crime and disaf fection prevail there, to a distressing and alarming extent. It has been estimate I that the famine of 1837 and 183 S, in the Upper Provinces of Ben , ral, swept off more than 500,000 peo ple. The famine of the year 1830, visited the Northern Provinces of Bombay and Madras. The Asiatic Journal for A tigfist, 1839, sta!es that '200,000 were scantily fed dui ly by Government and private individuals in the north west provinces; yet this is but a faint palliative. The people are dying like dogs—mothers throwing their living children at night into the Junina—disease Idestroving numbers whore famine has spa red—dogs and jackals actually devouring bodies in which life was not extinct.' At law:liar 'hydraphobia was t J fatal as chol era—famine dreadful—horses, asses, buffe t foes, every thing that has died a natural death, eaten by the natives.' At gra I 'police pick tip 130 bodies daily.' On the 14th of April 1839, 79,000 pining wretches, men, women and children, were fed by bounty at Agra; and between the Ist and 15th of March, 71,523 infirm and sight. loss creatures were relieved in a similar I manner. So great were the ravages of death that the air for miles was tainted with the effluvia from the petrifying carcases of men and cattle, and the rivers of the Juna• Mt and the Ganges wore choked up and poi soned by the dead bodies thrown into their channels. The water and fish of these riv ers were rejected as unfit for use, and men kept constantly employed in pushing the accumulated bodies down the torrents. The mortality was at the rate of ten thou sand a month; a destruction of life which, if it had continued, would have swept off the entire population in less than a year. A still more dreadful picture is given in a letter from Calcutta, under date of the 10th of April, which says—'Since the des patch of the overland mail per the Berenice, which left Bombay at the close of last month, public attention in this quarter has been engrossed by the accounts which dai ly reach the capitol of the horrid ravages of famine in the provinces to the west and north west. It is impossible to compute the numbers who die in their tedious pro gress from the desolate districts to the towns where food is procurable. We h ear almost daily of mothers deserting their chit dren on the highways—of infants crawling around the granaries to pick up the grains of rice accidentally scattered during the pro cess of distribution at the doors—of the roads being lined with dead bodies,. a prey to the vulture and jackal—of the courses of small rivers actually obstructed by the masses of dead bodies thrown therein by those who are employed to clear the high ways—of the European inhabitants of the large towns of Aga, Cawnpora, &c. being compelled to abandon their evening drive, from the impossibility of encountering the effluvia from the putrid corpses around.'

The Sub-Treasury, it was do. clafed, would produce this resu:t, and on thatiround was urged and suAairied. It no doubt will be so; and every thing else must go down with it, if the scheme is Ills tened upon the people. Already the fir mer feels sorely and deeply the effects of the administration war against the great in terests o o the country—their markets are destroyed;their prices are reduced more than one half, and evenat the lowest rates they can sciiicely obtain a dollar of cash to pay their taAes. The turn of the mechanic came a Ittttp.;soonet; but now the laborer; he who eariis,hread for his family, by day's work, is to bear his share of the sulfuring produced by g,tivernmental abuse. The administration leaders are boldly, we may say impudently, taking ground against the laboring and producing classes; and the word bus gone forth that prices must come down and be kept down, as well of produce as of labor! It is true that the administra tion has for years been at war with the best interests of the winking man; but they have not before shown out their colors, so plainly ; they have always managed to blind and deceive their victims, and lead them to destruction.

We extend a welcome hand to all who are tired of this government, and desire a change in the national administration—to all who seek fur protection to our home industry— who desire fair prices for the producer and the laborer. Come with us, and share the glorious victory we shall certainly achieve over the enemies of the country.—Bearer Argun. Alluding to the next Presidency, Col. Stone of the New York Commercial says: "With the feelings now abroad through the whole country, we hold the election of General William Harrison to be just about as certain an event as that the time of hold ing the election will come. The evidence to sustain this opinion, flowing in upon us from every quarter is irresistible. And yet, with the folly of the ostrich, which, by thrusting its head in the sand, imagines be cause it can see nothing it is unseen, the lending administration papers are yet affec ting to despise the strength of Harrison; and, as though blind and deaf to all the ovi• dencis of the popular will around them,still talk of the re-election of Mr. Von Buren The Richmond Enquirer the ether day claimed New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Illinois, for Van Buren. in sober earnest, Mr. Ritchie, do not deceive yourself thus. Your friends may bet, and they will be ru-• toed. New York will go for Harrison by fifteen thousand. Mark that, Mr. Ritchie. Ohio will go for him by fifteen thousand more. Mark that. Illinois by five thou sand, and Indiana by ten. Set down these, Mr. Ritchie Aye: and set down upon the same side half a score of other states,which will aid to elect him by a triumphant ma jority." These are the views of no partizan, but of one of the coolest and clearest heads in tho country. The truth is, the enthusiasm with which the nomination of Harrison has been received—the union it has produced in the ranks of the opposition, have surpri sed even the most sangine of the friends of the distinguished patriot and veteran sol dier. They all knew him to be popular, but they did not thoroughly understand rind appreciate the depth and strength of that popularity. We candidly coincide with the Commercial as to his prospects. They seem to brighten with the progress of each hour.—Pu. Inquirer•. VAN BUREN ECONOMY --Facts worth Remembering.—ln his speech in the U.S. [louse of Representatives, on the subject of the public printing, 51r, anAvis, of Ken• tucky, stated that filr. Gideon, by contract, executed for the Adjutant General's Office, a piece of work for which he received twen ty dollars. Tho same work had been for: merly done by the printers of the Globe, and they charged and received for it, one hundred and twenty dollars. Another fact was, that the cost of the printing and stationary for Congress and the public offices, in 1819, was about $70,- 000; while during the last Congreirs, their printing and stationary, and the printing and stationary of the departments, exceeded five hundred and sixty thousand dollars; which, estimating the profit at only twenty per cent, would afford a net gain of one hundred and twelve thousand dollars. And this heavy sum, the Van Buren members of Congress voted to put into the pockets of the publishers of the Globe news paper, rather than to support a proposition for getting the work done by practical prin ters, unconnected with the political press, at the lowest and best terms to the govern ment.

Dear Sir:--The- Whig, Convention, at Chardon, the 29d, proved to -be be Much lar ger than.we had any teaStin to expeet—in stead or thtithree houses I twined, - all . the houses there were not large enough to hold the multitude that assembled. The Con vention'assembled in the open air. The day was fine—indeed it was a proud' day for old Geauga. Mr. Peikins, at the close of his speech, challenged the Ashtabula delegation to give as largo a majority next fall, as Geuaga, and was responded to by Mr. Wade, pledging old Ashtabula to give 3000 majority for Harrison and Tyler. HUNDREDS OF VAN BUREN MEN HERE HAVE RENOUNCED THEIR ALLEGIANCE TO THE BOWERS THAT RE, AND HAVE COME OUT DE CIDEDLY FOR HARRISON, and it is possible that we may come up to the three thousand majority next fall. In fact if the Harrison enthusiasm continues we shall be unani mous, saving the "office-holders." A Peculiar Case.--A few days ago, the infant child of Enoch C. Harrington, resi ding in Phinn street, below Fifth, gave in dications that it was in severe pain, and that its sufferings were confined to its leg. Dr. Mitchell was called in, but not percei ving any mark upon the limb, thought it advisable to send for Dr. Diane, with n hom he met to consultation. On examining the. thigh, something of the size of half a bird' shot was ascertained to ha lodged and deep ly embedded in the Substance of the mus• des. On touching this matter, the child. would scream violently. They immedi• ately.came to the conclusion that an opera,. lion was necessary, and Dr. Duffee accor-. dingly made a very bold incision on the lower edge of the vaslus exe'rnus muscle, and cut through the fascia and a portion or the muscle, and then extracted a large dar ning needle ! now the needle entered tie limb of the child remains unknown. It is P 5 months old, and' is now doing wall.— Ledger.

Aft. r a prayer addressed to the throne of grace by the Rev. Prof. B•ounsn, a n oration on "The Man of Integrity," was delivered by Mr. W. B. M'CLEctArr of this place, who acquitted himself very creditably indeed. This young man bids fair to become an ornament of the Society, as well as of the Institution to which ho is attached. Ho was followed by Mr. E. Scriw,trerz, with an oration on nillagnanimity." This gentleman deserves much praise for the able • manner in which ho handled his subject . .

From the wide ly extended literary fame of thin gentleman we confidently expected a treat of more than ordina ry merit,—in this wo were not disappointed,— for, never within our recollection, were we per pitted to listen to a more masterly literary pro. ,duction.

BRIDOES OVER THE POTOMAC.-WO learn from the National Intelligencer of this mor ning, that the "Long Bridge," opposite that city, after resisting the running ice for thir ty hours, gave way about 11 o'clock on Monday night, with a tremendous crash, owing to the pressure of the immense bod ies of ice which floated down the liver• About two hundred yards of the bridge have been entirely swept away, including the draw and the buildings occupied by the bridgo•keeper on the Virginia side of the river. This destruction of so large a sec tion of the bridge, will necessarily, impede travelling to and from the South, for some time. l'he Chain Bridge, above Georgetown, has also been considerably damaged by the ice, and will probably be for a while impas• sable.--Galt. Patriot. FRESHET AT CUMBERLAND. CorrePpotalenee of the Baltimore Patriot. CUMBERLAND, 51d. Feb. 10, 1840 The thaw and consequent breaking up of the frost, produced an unusual swell of the waters in this vicinity. The innundation of the low parts of the town extended far ther than it has done upon any similar oc• casion fur many years past. This was owing in part, perhaps, to the encroachment upon tho bed of the river by tile Canal Compri,. ny's improvements. These were extensive ly injured by the great quantities of floating ice and high water. The fixtures about the darn in progress at erection, were entirely swept away—so likewise was the bridge built by tho company across the river, just below the town, to bring materials for em banking over the river from the Virginia shore. • The embankment of the canal upon the margin of the river; for several miles, was likewise materially injured, and in some pla ces swept almost entirely away.

THE following statement is made in com pliance with the 10th section of the school law, of June, 18:36. Districts that have accepted the Common Sc/tool System. - The atnount which ouch accepting school district is entitled to receive the ensuing year, commencing on tho Ist Tuesday of Juno neat, out of the annual state appropri. ution, is n sum equal to ONE DOLLAR for each taxable inhabitant in the district. The amount of School Tax required to be let ied, to entitle a District to its share of the State appropriation, must be a sum equal to at least sixty cents, for each taxa ble inhabitant in the district. Districts that have not accepted the Com mon School System. The amount of undrawn balances remain ing for the use of non accepting districts, for the school years 1635, t 936, 1837, 1839 and 1939, is mita DOLLARS and FOR TY cr.ssrs, for each taxable inhabitant in a district, according to the enumeration of 1935 ; and fur the school years 1840 and 1841, it is TWO DOLLARS for each taxable inhabitant, according to the enumeration of :39. The school year 1841, will com mence en the Ist Tuesday of June next. Hence it follows that each non accepting school district, in which the qualified citi zens accept the system, at the next spring, actions, and lay a tax equal to sixty cents itch taxable inhabitant, will bo entitled to equal out of the state appropriations. a 1 1 sum equal to more than six DOLLARS, for 1 taxable inhabitant in the district. 11 , 1.-. y a resolution of the Legislature, pass. ed ths"24th day of June, 1839, the above Jindratirn•baleinces are to be retained for the use of nbn accepting districts only until the Ist of November, 1840. On which day they aro to be repaid into the common school !mid. Hence it follows, that as the law now stands, unless the non•accepting districts accept the system at the next spring elec. lions, these undrawn balances amounting now to a sum adequate to the erection of school houses, and putting the system into complete operation, will be forfeited.

Jayno's Expoctot ant: PHILADELPHIA, August 16111, ISM Mr. AT/tlNsort— . -Dear Sir: A fow weeks ago I noticed in your paper, an account of the surpri. sing afflicts of Jayno's Carminative, in •restoring. n groat number of passengers on board a Miesis. eippi steamboat, to perfect health who were affec ted with Bowel Complaint. I was glad to se., you notice it eo kindly; you may rest assured it. deserves the praise bestowed upon it. The ben efit I have recoivod from this medicine, more es. peciall y his Expectorant, Induces me to state my case to you.for the benefit of those who are afflie. tad in the same way. It has boon my misfortune., sir, to labor under a cough and.ristlimatical op. pression, for more than Palf a century. When a soldier in the American camp, in 1778,1. with many others, (owing to groat exposure,) had a violent attack of disease of tho Lungs,by which I was disabled from duty for a long time. Sauce that period until recently, I have never been free from a violent Cough and difficulty of breathing. Year after your 1 have expectorated over a gill a day; often touch more, and sometimes mixed with blood. For months together, night after night, I have had to sit or be bolstered up to ob tain my broath.Tho weakness and debility cau sed by such constant expectoration, frequently brought me to a state borderhag on death. It has been a mattor of asionishraent to my family and friends that lam here to write this to you. I have had skilful physicians to attend me, and every thing alone that was thought likely to give me relief; without any beneficial effort. Last winter I had another severe attack of Inflame lion of the Lungs, which I fully expected would be the last. I then considered my case as past the aid of medicine, when I was persuaded to emit on Doctor Jayne. With the assistance of Divine Providence, through him,l was once more raised tram my bed, but the coughing and wheeziog' wearied me day and night. He advised me to use his Expectorant. 1 did so, e , with a strong hop that, as it had eured many of my acquaintances of various diseases of the Lungs. it might at heist mitigate my sufferings. Need I say bow gratifi ed I felt? It has EFFECTUALLY CURED me. As soon as I commenced taking it. 1 found it reach ed my case, and I began to breathe with more freedom. My expectoration became more env, and my cough entirely left rne. 1 now feel as wall as ever 1 did in my life, and am bettor than I have boon for the last SIXTY YEARS. Lust sum. mar I spit a groat deal of blood; now, thank God, . lam perfectly cured Now, Sir, after suffering so long,and finding at last such signal relief from Jayne et Expectorant, I feel anxious to inform my follow. citizens where relief may bo had.
