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.

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

`conditions 'provided and imposed by that
act.
And for the amount of the six million to
be Subscribed by the Baited States on their
own account, and also for the amount to be
subscribed for the 'Jae of the several States,
it is proposed that a stock be Created, bear
tog an interest of five per cent. per annum,
redeemable at the pleasure of the govern,
ment at any time after fifteen years,
In case Congress should not see . fit to
make such a provision as is proposed for
paying to the States the fourth instalment
under the sleposit act, it may be well worth
while to consider whether the States might
int be permitted to take the stock of the
Bank according to their respective amount
of population, to the extent of ten millions
in all,lissuingtheretor stock of their own,
bearing such interest, atid 'reimbursable at
such period, as might be prescribed; the
dividcnds on the shares thus held by the
States, respectively, to be apPlied, In the
first place, to the payment of the interest
on their stocks; with a further provision, i
thought necessary, that, in case the pro
ceeds of the public lands should be assigned
to the States, those proceeds should , be ap
plied to the teimhursement of the principal
of their debts, or stocks, created or issued
for the purposes aforesaid.
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. A presi
dent to be ebosen by the directors out of
their own body. • • ,
That the , branches be managed by not
more than seven, nor less than five direc
tors, two or them to be appointed by' the
States in which the branches may situated,
if such State be a stockholder, and the rest
to be appointed by the directors of the Bank.
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. ' -
That the amount of debts which it may
at any time owe, shall not 'exceed twenty
millions, over and above Its deposites..—
That tho debts at any time due to the bank
shall not exceed the amount of its capital
and seventy-five per cent. thereon; and that
when the amoun t of bills in circulation shall
exceed three times the amount of specie in
its vaults, do neWlean shall be•made.
That it shall not deal in any thing except
coin, bullion, promissory notes, and inland
bills of exchange. • '
That it shall take no more that six per
_,,----\
cent. upon loans, •
• That it shall discount no proms ry note,
and purchase no bill of exchange w ch has
more than one hundred and eighty days to
run, or make any loan for a longOr time.
That no debt shall be renewed.
That it shall not at any time loan the
United States more than three millions . of
dollars, nor any State more than 100,000
dollars, nor either for a longer time than
one hundred days, unless authorized by law.
That it shall contract no debt for a lon
ger time than one year. .
That it shall issue no note of t less de- 1
nomination than ten dollars-
That the officers of the institution shall
not be permitted to borrow money from, or
contract any debt therein, in any manner ,
ivhatever; a note or bill of which such offi
cer, as maker endorser , or acceptor; is for
bidden to be discounted. The directors of
the branches not to be considered ` officers
within the meaning of this provision.
To prevent or expose th is
fraud or indi
rection in the ,management of the institu
tion; to 'prevent, also, large and irnprciper
loans toindividuals, to the injury of the
stockholders and the public; and to prevent,
likewise, false imputations when such irreg
ularities do not exist, it is proposed that the
books of the institution, including the cc
counts of all individuals therein, be at all
times open to'-the inspection of the Secre
tary of the Treacnify of the United States;
to a committee , of either House of Congress;
to each of the directors of the Bank, and to ,
committee of the stockholders, with pow
er to make public whatsoever they may
think fit.,
It is,proposed to provide that the branch
es shall not issue notes or bills adapted to
and intendetfor "ciritilation; but may sell
dratts s not less to amount than My dollam,for
the purpose of tranimaission and exehtuite. "
Thee ths-Hank shall not @wend sp ecie
payrnertit—that 7 t shall cot pay
.out any
thing but Coin'or, bullion, or its own notes.
That its existents's* 4 corporation contia
ue for twenty . years; but that it be allowed
to use its corporate name *for two years
longer in settling up its affairs.
That no other bank be established by
Congress during the existence of the
charter.
And providing that it shall not be deem
ed an infringement , of the privileges grant
ed by the charter, if Congress shall ordor
the said corporation to place ofFicea of dis
count and deposite wherever the same may
be necessary for the collection, safe-keeping
and disbursement of the public revenue.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

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.

FATAL DUEL.—The New Orleans Bee
of the bth inst. says:—A duel WU fought
yesterday morning at Mandeville between
Messrs, Ammar, WiuouT and S. W. Ore
'Ear, merchants of New Orleans. The
hostile meeting grew out of certain articles
in the Vicksburg Sentinel' grossly elusive
of Mr. OAKET, and of.which Mr. WRIGHT
was the reputed. author. The combatants
fought with rifles. The first shot proved
ineffectual. At-the second Mr. Wright
fell, haiing received his adversary's , ball in

(4'8500, one , half for the use of the Com•
monwealth and'the other half for the use
of the guardians of the poor.—This law is
intended to put a stop, as far as practicable,
to that species of gamb/tng carried on to a
most mischievous extent in the cities,
known by the designation of time stales of
stock, and declares that all sales of this
kind stipulating for the delivery of stock at
any future period beyond five juridicial
days next ensuing the date of the contract
or agreement, shall be null and void, and
that any person so offending shall be liable
to a fine of not less thee $lOO •00. more
than $lOOO.
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.

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.
Pennsylvania semis iron to 'the Northern
States, and one-41th of it iareturneil to her in
manufactured articles; she sends them ,coal
and flour, and receives in return cotton

foreAsind gentlemen's parks, and 12,895,-
230 incapable of cultivation. 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.

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. Y. Express.

. 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
