10441Tresiiri Pisedect of • 'refloat& the *Atonal late honor of Monday I slag the ~precediegs column our leaders will fi nd one of the chest important mini that we have had an opportunity of laying before them-for many a day, being the plan of a Bank furnished by the Secre tary of the Treasury, in answer to'a call from the Senate ,of the United States. We cad this! the Treasury project," be. cease it emanates from that Department, -and because we do not feel authorized to call it, a Cabinet measure, though we have so doubt of its having the approbation of a ma jority of. the heads 'of Departnients. Be that as it may, however, it is- obviously a well Considered project, which, if cast into the form of law in the precise 'shape into 'which it bas been moulded by . the Secretary of the Treasury, 'could not, fail, in our opin ion, to be fruitful of benefits to the country and facilities to the Government. • , We do- not doubt but that to the mind of alinest every man who has thought at all upon the subject, this Bank project would be more acceptable if ,some one or more features of it were, different from what they , are. Out , to any plan .that could possibly be proposed, objections or detail would arise in different minds, according to their par titular views. We do not say that the Treasury plan is perfect, or oven the best • that could have been devised. We would . ourselves willing see one or two of its,fea. Lures changed. But the change of those - features would perhaps, repel two friends to the measure for one that it would attract; and, for the mere gratification of a personal - wish, we sheuld never dream of hazarding the memo of a greot measure. We trust that those who believe a mea sure of this character to be imperiously de. mended by the great interests and existing circumstances ofthe country will come to . the consideration of this plan with minds open to conviction, and act upoa it in that spirit orcompromise without which great or valuable puhlic purposes are rarely ac complished in a free and populer Govern ment? Concerning the early history of this Na. Bank question in this Government,we have an anecdote, from undoubted authori ty, which appears' to us of too , much inter est to be withheld from our , readers. We - do not know that,a more fit occasion will occur for °fairing it, as follows: Alter the bill, for the establishment of the old Bank :of the United States had peso• ed both Houses of Congress in 1791, and had been ' laid befete President Washing. ton, tor his sigtuiturci, it becamec matter of astonishment to rho Secretary.ef the Trea sury, (Gen. Hamilton,) that the President should have hold the bill in suspense until ' the tali days limited, by the Constitution . had Almost expired. • Calling upon the Pre. sident in theordinary, course of,,his official ,dutyithe latter init iota the bands of Gee. Hamilton the Opinions of Mr. Jefferson and Mr t ,Hindolph on the subject of the Batik billondmuested him to examine and an. -111181' them - .Gen. Hamilton took the pa. pers, read them, reflected `upon the subject, went.to see Mr. Lewis the aigreat black lettq lawyer" of*Philadelphia at that day. They walked,,together in, Mr. Lewis's gar. den, Hamilton explaining his views as to the law ofincorporation, which Lewis con firmed. Gen. Hamilton returned home in tbeemning, and retired to bed, giving di rections to he called at 12 o'clock at night, and that strong coffee ahollld then be ready for him. This was done. He went , to work and finished ritOpit;ion atone sitting and, when it wee copied, took it to the rieeident. 'fhe. next day Washington, when;he sew Gen. thinilton,_ taking his band to both of Me, thank you, it . my dear air, for your Opinion, le conch'. lON•and has relieved me from , much On. barrassment.

In the opinion of the Sectetary, it is de. airable that the Stales should be perMitted to take an interest in one of the foregoing modes, or some other mode, in the new in. etitution; but, if Congress should think oth erwise, then• it is recommended that the Government of the United States subscribe for ten millions of stock, leaving twenty to be subscribed by individuals. - It is proposed that the affairs of the Bank be managed by seven directors, two of them to be appointed' by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and five to be elected by the stock 'holders, at their annual meeting.

It is proposed that Ms Bank be the fiscal agent of the Government. That the public moneys be deposited in it; and when there, that they be deemed and taken to be in the Treasury of the United States, and that the deposites be not removed except by law, and that the notes of the said Bank be re ceivable in the payment of public dues, end that payments made by: the Treasurer of the United States may be by cheeks on said Bank. That the said Bank receive the funde of the United States; that it transmit them from one part of the Union to another, and distribute them for the payment of, public cteditore, and perform the duty Hof pension agent tree of charge. The ordinary powers and privileges of banking institutions being conferred upon it, and the ordinary liabilities and duties im posed in order to prevent overbanking, ex cessive issues, fluctuations in the price o stocks and consequent' speculations therein, and to secure the bill holders and. other creditors of the Bank from danger of loss, it is proposed: , To limit • the dividends to six per cent. per annum, but if they fall 'short in any year, the deficiency, with interest thereon, to be afterwards made good, and when a surplus accumulates; eiceeding two millions, the excess to he passed to the credit of the Treadurer of the United States.

All of which is respectfully submitted. T. EWING, • Secretary of Treasury. The most curious epistolary specimen, that we have seen for some time, is the fol. rowing . ; which we copy from the Little Rock (Ark.) Times, of the 24th ult. The writer, Abner D. Rogan, was a United States soldier, who was convicted of mur. der at the last term of the United States district court,but recommended to the mer cy of the President. It seems, however, that he decided on trusting to a good pair of heels rather than to Executive clemency: To the Gentkmen of Little Rotk, Arkansas: STATE Pnrsox, April 21, 1841. GENTLEMEN AND FELLOWCITIEENs OF ARKANSAS: I will give you all to understand that I have made my elopement, and give you my reasons for so doing; and I hope you won't blame me. The President is dead, and there is poor prospect of my being pardoned by the Vice President, see• ing he is not a military man; and I don't think'l deserve to die for this act of indis• cretion.. If I had done this for malice or animosity, I would not have said one word against the verdict; ,and you cannot. blame me. I intend never to show my fiice to a white man again as long as I live. If I get clear, I will go amongst my red brethren in the prairies; the Cumanches, Pawnees, Riowas, and Toweaskies, for I can speak their languages very well, and if I can get to them before I am taken, I may be of some service to the United States, for I will keep them from committing depredations on the frontiers and traders, and try to make them work for their living and be honest. I am very well equipped for this expedi tion; I have a rifle, a brace of pistols, a Bowie-knife, and plenty of ammunition; a first rate horse, saddle, and bridle and some money to take me through the Choctaw ea Lion; acid if I get through I am safe, for 1 am not afraid of the Indians. If 1 can get to old Tabbaquena, the Cumanche war chief, I am at home, for he wanted me to go with him the last time I saw htm;.and said he Would give me bie daughter, and now is my time. I shall be at a loss fur nothing but tobacco. Oh, if I had some seed I would be fixed. You may think it strange that I should flee to them for protec tion, but, to tell the truth, they are the most friendly human beings on earth, when they ' take a notion to any person, and they would lose their lives ' for you. For the Lord's sake don't advertise me, on acceunt of my mother, and let me go , in peace, and I will not .bother any of you any more. I warn all men from using malt liquor. for you sea what it has brought me to; on account of that I have taflee to savages for protection. Gentlemen, I have one friend in Arkan sas, unknoWn to any person here; "a friend in need is a friend indeed." If I am par doned, it is so much the better, and I may sometime hear of it; and if so, I can come back, and if not, I won't. It will be no sat. isfaction to see me hanged like a dog. • Let me go in peace and harmony. Nothing more, than I am your friend until death. ABNER D. HOGAN.

The above' sketch we deem sufficient for general information, as those among our readers (if any such there be) to whom the law may be particularly Interesting, will have no difficulty in obtaining it in full.— We consider the law an excellent one, and it should be rigidly enforced.—Those who aro in the practice of shaving others, can certainly have no objection to bo lathered and scraped a little themselves—and as for those harpies in the city who are in the habit of producing panics and groans in "the money market" by their "operations," we hope their case will soon be that ot Othello's. —Chamb.

MELANCIECLY EFFECTS OF • THUNDER Srmus.—The York Republican of Wed nesday last, says:—After a season of very dry and het weather, the clouds gathered in great blackness on the evening of Tues. day of last week, beipg evidently very hea vily charred with electricity and threaten. ing a copious rain. - Of this, however, we participated very slightly in York, the dust being scarcely laid in the streets by the shower. In other parts of the country, however. there was considerable storm ac companied by thunder and lightning, and unfortunately causing a los e of• human life. Is the village of New Haven Mrs. C.kirra- RINE Frau, who was sitting in the same room with her husband and Wilily, though occupying a position nearer to the fire place, was struck by ts stream, of the elec tric fluid which descended the chinney and caused her instant death.

THE PARDONING TOWER.—There was no one charge that tended more to the overthrow of George Wolf, when Governor, than that of too freely using the pardoning power.

Not satisfied with opening the prison doors, and turning again upon society the pickpocket and the DETECTED THIEF —he has knocked off the shackles fret]) those hands which were dyed with Elliman gore, and let the reckless slaughterer of his own kind, loose again upon society, to spill more blood.

Where they turned out to form a part of a band' of but. lies and blood hounds, who are to hunt hon est-men from the polls at the next election? In the name ofjustice, and in the defence of a virtuous community,we eiclaim against such a disgraceful, aye, and eriminat pro; cedure. It cannot be Gtherwiee than both disgraceful and criminal, otherwise the laws are so which establishes a sentence too great for crime. We ask. every lover of virtue and righteous Government, if they are willing to say that a Governor, and he perhaps neither too honest, nor too virtuous shall have the power to walk into our prisons, and unloose the well deserved chains of every scoundrel, knave, and felon; and-bid turn take a passport to riot 'upon the blood or treasure'of a law loving, and law obeying people?--Huntingdon Jour. 14 BEAR'S Itmerw."—We see it stated by the Ohio Statesman, that Mr. John W.

Orlealls papers of the 7th and Bth inst. and in them is given a detail of a horrible transaction at the Balize. -• We copy 'the tbllowing - from the New Orleans Efea of June 7,2" , Shocking and .Proctous Ocorrence.— The entire community was yesterday morn ing thrown into the utmost consternation, by the reappearance at the levee of the ship Charles,of Bath, Me., Captain Gorham, which en this city tor Bordeaux, on the evening of the Ist June, with e Cargo of 000 eaves, 70,000 feet of luintier, a. lei of heading and wheel sOokev. She was brought back to the city by the tow boatT4er. We have mado'Oareful enquiries into all the cir eumstanceiconnected with' the horrid bust nese which we are about to relate, and'the following details may, we think he relied upon. - The Charlea cleared on Tuesday last, Ist inst. and went' down to the Belize the same evening, crossing the bar, and getting well into the Gulf on the morning following.— During the whole of Wednesday and Thurs. day, the Charles! all welt as the Loins Qua; torze, which went out at' the.same time,was distinctlyvieible from the Belize, the wea ther being rather ,calm; though it wee ob. served that the Charles' steered to the west, while the ',wits Anaterte headed to , the test of the S. W. Pass. On Friday morn ing at an early hour,. the Captain or the towboat Tiger noticed a Vessel apparently - steering for the South West Pass, and look ing at the distance, as if her studding sails were set. 'Presuming that the vessel was in' want of atestin, he diiected the Tiger to. wards; her. nearing her he discovered , that it was the. 814. Charles. She was in the following conditions—Nearly all her sails were set, and the jib which was flying loose, appeared to have been cut, probably to'inake an awning for one of the boats. Not a solitary living being was on board. `Oa descending into the cabie,; several kit ties which contained porter, and had their necks. knocked off, were:found on Ow table; some of their contents had been spilled, and the troth :poked quite fresh. Every milli. cle 'of luggage" bad disappeared. Not ' trunk, not a bedstead, nor an article of clothing. save an old pair of boots, were to, be seen. The apparel and bedding of the captain, crew and passengers had entirety disappeared. On examining the vessel's deck, spots of blood having the appearance of being.tecent ly shed, together with 8 or 10 handspikee, were seen on the starboaid side. 'On the larboard was a small pool of blood 'running towards the scrupers, and on the same side on the outward part of the vessel,were eight stains of the sanguine fluid which had appa rently flowed from some wounded person carried or forced over the ship's side. It must be borne in mind that this appal ling discovery wart made at an early hour in the morning—about BA. M. After certaining the , circumstances just related, the Tiger, very properly put to sea, and cruised about some sor 6 hours. In the course of the morning, about ten miles die. tent from the Charles, a boat recognized as one attached to that,vessel, and containing a dog said to belong to one of the passen gers, was picked up. 'The dog appeared by no means exhausted, and had evidently not been long adrift, as when offered water, he did. not lap very eagerly. After searching some time longer ; and finding nothing what ever to elucidate. the mystery, Capt. Crow. ell returned to the Charles, took her in tow, and returned to town, where he arrived yes terday'morning at 7 o'clock- It is needless to state that this singular afiair has given rise to innumerable specu lations. Horrid rumors of murder and pi racy, mutiny and issassmation fled, from mouth to mouth with incredible rapidity. The most prevalent"'.'supposition.—though about ast•voglin as others—Wis that the crew had risen, murdered the captain and passengers, seized the baggage end money on board and escaped in one of the boats, which it seems is missing. In the absence of positive'infoiltiatien, -or even - plausible data upon which to 'base a conclusion, we forbear indulging in conjectures which may be disproved by' the earliest intelligence. We are happy to learn that the city au thorities,,on the receipt of the news, assem bled and adopted prompt and vigorous measures for tracing the mystery to its source.' It is 'more thin probable that some clue will be shortly obtained by which this atrocious transaction may be unveiled and its authors discovered and delivered up to justice. P. S. Since the above was in type, we learn that a meeting of the Council of the Second Municipality was held yesterday, at which decisive, measures were ,adopted for the discovery of the clue to this' dark transaction. The steamship Neptune was immediately chartered to go on a cruiie in the Golf, and 80 able bodied seamen en- gaged as her crew, fully armed and equipp ed, the whole under the command of Capt. Butler, harbor master of the Second .Muni. cipelity. ik large number of citizens offer ed their services •as volunteers, but the Neptune having ler . full compliment, the proffer was declined. We have seldom beheld a more animated spectacfe than that Witnessed et the depar ture of the Neptune. The Levee was thronged with sipectators, and the tone and feeling manifested were honorable' to the humanity and Spirit of our citizens. , Nothing further has been ascertained at New Orleane e en the Bth inst. of this piracy. TUE CO4, IRON AND MI Ml' Or PENN" Enax.eNzA.—The three great staple precincts of the Keystone State are Coal and Iron Mines and her Wheat,' Some eating statistics with reference to each of these were presented at'the Business Con vention at Harriebut in en excellent siieech, by Mr . . Henry. K. Strong, of Schuylkill county, from which, we compile, the follow ing summary. About one.fourth of the State comprising more than seven, millions of acres, seated mostly upon navigable. waters leading to.tan States of the , Union,, is one vast bituminous coal.field, filled with lime and iron-stone, and possessing as fine a soil as ever the sun shone upon. Anthracite Coal no other State possesses, so that t the whole Union mull purchase oft Pennsylva nia for ever. Tiventy.one years ago,When the trade first commented, only 865 tons were takeii'froni the Lehigh mines to mar ket: there aro now mined more than one millione.of tons annually. About 800,600 tons are 'sold to other States, and 260,000 consumed in Pemisylvania. In great' Bri tain about 8000,000 tons are mined annu ally, of which only e 12,245 are exported to foreign • 'countries. -In 1834, less than 000,000 tons were used. for fuel, and mare than 25,000,000 tons :were consumed 'in driving the machinery of manufactories.-- This is the true poficy , which Pennsylvania must imitate; a large.porrion of her coal and iron fungi both be computed in .propell ing her own machinery, and driving her own cotton, woollen and iroa factories. . The quantity•of pig iron annually manu factured in Pennsylvania. is estimated at 160,000. tons, or one-third -of all, that is Made.in the United Statea. It may be in creased so as to meet the demand of the whole Union, though as yet the annual . value • is estimated at only 11 15 , 000 P 0 . -,-- The amount of pig iron made annually in Great Britain is .valued at 828,000,00c1,, while the value given to st by manufactur ing part ofit into bar iron, 4ardwitre and cutlery, ts estimated at . 90,000,000 more.

Peonsylva• nits contains 30,000,000 of acres of land, aot mare than 3,000,000 which are inca pable of being converted into tillage anti padturago. And yet Great Britain which in 1700, when her population was mainly agricultural, produced only 14,000 bushels of wheat, in 1630, under the stimulus of her manufactures, increased the amount to one hundred and thirty millions—nearly twice as *rnualt as is raised in the whole United States. Thus .it will be men that the value of the great staples of Pennsylva nia is annually —of Coal, $5,000,000; of irons B5,000,00 0 ;80 of Wheat, 813,000,. OW—making an aggregate of $23,000,000. Y. Tribune. • .....• SOO.. Tug ROM OV REPHIMNDATIVES.—We should really like to know of the Members of fhe'Llonse of Representatives, the Whig members particularly, upon whom we have a right to call, if they mean to go on doing nothing, as for the ten days last past. To take about two weeks to organise a Rouse, for what ought not to be over a , six weeks session, is a little too much- even for one's Mend to bear, especially when there is no doubt who has the majority, and how large that majority. Many Members daily vo ting for every -adjournment will anon be called lo account. , More will •suffer before the People, and loose their seats too, if this Congress adjourns and does nothing, as is indicated by this waste of two weeks in the House. - There is, we readily see, no spirit for business among the Politicians of either party in the House r ,, Why do they not take bold of their 'work as business men, as Merchants would., and hurry to do what they have to do, in order to return home.= Why quibble for hours upon points of or der? Why waste lame upon abstract prin. ciples, when tuition is what is wanted. Mr. Adams for .example, will surely have timo enciii,gh, the next seision of Congress, to vin dicate the itbstract right of petition; without worrying the country out ot patience now. Mr. Ingersoll, could print hie essay on Sla very and not consume the time of the House. The Loco Foco Members are,' however, hardly, to blame., ,, They came to de noth• log; and they ,don't mean, if they can help it, that anything shall be done. It was most unfortunate for the action. of Congress, that the , proposition of Mr. Ring to lay aside the luxurious desks ;and cu• shioned seats, did not succeed. As it, is, the Capitol in about the only comfortable place now in the City 'of Washington, and it, therefore, has positive temptations for members to waste their time there. The air in the well ventilatoil and spacious mg is good: .The grounds around are beau tiful. Tbs protection from. the scorching rays of the sun complete. MeMbers upon their desks can write all day, much more agreeably than ip the hot, narrow' rooms of theifiboarding houses, so that, protracted and_fatigulnksessions are held acconiplish. ing nothing, and doing no good. Talking against time is permitted, for talking; what is wanted, consumes time. Members feel no ultimo inconvenience, for they have oc• cupation, or if not, the best of seats, in the best of cooing, which all. outward applian- Cris to make them comfortable. On the Contrary, if all were seated hard, all pro miscuously, without chairs on desks, or mere benches, as in the House of Commons, they must, and would work, for being so miserable there, .they would 'hasten to es. cape elsewhere. • As the House of Representatives is con stituted and as it, acts, there is not the least need ofsuch'a so-called branch of the Government. Its expense certainly ought to be dispensed with. The Senate is the only legislative branch of the Government, and creates and perfects all that can be done. The country mist look to that body for aid, and leave the members in the House to prate. till dog days upon points of Order, and its 2lst Rule. Id a few years hence. however, as the 111118EttiCU in the House hecome too expen sive for the People, and too intolerable to be borne, the body will be forded to adopt the customs of the British House . , of, Corn. tione,, Which long experiendc.has proved to be the only means that can make such lame deliberate bodiss act.—N.

Congress. . The House of Representatives is at last organi zed, and we entertain a haps that the business of tegislatrOn will now be more rapidly pushed for. ward toward iompletion. Nearly three weeks of the time of the House has been uselessly consum ed by a•set of disorganizing demagogues, whose base and hollow pretensions entitle them to little or no consideration whate4r, and whose wrang ling and jangling produced a scene of chaos and confusion, such as would disgrace oven it.cock-pit, and could not. fail .to mantle the cheek of any true American with shame and mortification to wit ness. We regret this the more on account of the fact that the House is composeil of a majority of Whigs, on Whom must necessarily rest the rd. sponaibility of this profligate waste of time end money. . The present session of Congress, it was confi- dently believed by the , people, would be of short duration, and its action confined exclusively to measures having for their object the relief of the . country and the community. But in this, present appearances justify us in' saying, they aro liksly to be disappointed. Dusiness,.foreign to the purpo ses of the call for the Extra session, has been brought up, and much time consumed in discus sion upon it. Already half of the time of the session has expired, In which it was thought all the business which called for action by the pre sent Congress, might be disposed of, and yet comparatively nothing has been done. The ter peal of the Bub-Treasury, 'tis true, has been ef fected in,the Senate, but the House has accent plished—nothing! Does this beat any analogy to the reform' promised our friends previous to the late election! It is what we would call re• forming' backwards. Wo hope far better things hereafter.
