THE MINERS AND FARMERS* JOURNAL. Fr&m tAk fhiladrlphia Stt. Evt. Foit. THE CORRESPONDENCE. Many of our readers have complainwl, that notwithstanding ournotice of the panipli- Jct recently issued at Washington, conluin* ing the correswondence between the I'resi* dent and the Vice-President of the United States, we left them in the dark in relation to Ihe merits of the case. We now supply this omission by the following extracts from a notice of it by the New*iork Evening Post t “ The ground of this correspondence is exceedingly simple. F roni various causes it seems that General Jackson had always cntertainod a strong impression that Mr. CttlhtHin. during the agitation of the ques tion growing out of the Seminole war, had approved and defended his conduct. Dur ing the last year, he received information of a contrary character, a copy of the let- terrontaining which was immediately trans mitted to Mr. Calhoun, enclosed in one ask ing the Vice-President if the allegations were correct. Mr. Calhoun replied, admit ted the (>art he had taken in the cabinet de bate alluded to, but contended that he nev er souglit to conceal his views, nor create an ern^neous impression. So far os the two first officers of the goverument are conceriicd, this is the statement of the whole ucstion. It is a mere matter of personal ifference—Gen. Jackson entertaining, on the one hand, an opinion that Mr. C'alhoun has not dealt openly and sincercly with him, and Mr. Calhoun on the other, endeavoring to show that he had never said, any thing to authorize the impression which Gen. Juck- Bon had entertained of the part taken by the Vice-President as a member of Mr. Monroe’s cabinet. ♦ ♦ * “ W'ith regard to the Seminole war, some information of a highly interesting charac ter is now for the first time placed before the public. The tenor of the private let ter from Gen. Jackson to Mr. Monroe, and the fact of its having remained unanswered, leaving him to infer that its suggestions met tiie approbation of the administration, is an inipMant fact in considering the pro priety of his construction of his orders.— There can be no doubt that Gen. Jackson not only considered he was acting in purs«i- ance of the wishes of the GovernnR-nt, but that be was fully warranted by concurrent facts, in the interpretation which he gave to the orders from the War Department.— While we do not think that there existed a sufficient occasion for the publication of this corre8(x>n»ieuce between Mr. Callioun and Gen. Jackson, we are decidetlly of the o- [ pinion that its tendency must be to correct I erroneous impressions of the motives oihI j conduct of the latter in former years, and place him in a still higher elevation in the ' estimation aud affections of ihe people.” 'I'he National Gazette, of this city, gives the following summary, which throws fur ther light on the subject. “ In Doc. 1827, Mr. Crawford wrote to Mr. liaich, of Tennessee, a letter accusing Afr. Caliioun and his family friends of hos tility to the ‘ Military' Chieftain.’ This was communicated to Mr. Calhoun in January', I’HaS. In April, 1*^30, Mr. Crawford ad- drfssed a letter to Mr. Forsyth, Senator from Georgia, in which lie charged Mr. C'alhoun with having written, or caused to be written, a letter which was published at Nashville, and wherein it was asserted that Mr. Crawford had, in thecaljinet, proposed to arrest Gen. Jacksjn for his conduct in the Seminole war,—a statement that had the effect of rendering General Jacksrm ex- Iremoly inimical to Mr.Crdwford,and friend ly to Mr. Calhoun. Mr. Crawford denied, further, to Mr. Forsyth, that assertion, and averred that, on the other hand, Mr. Cal- hxin made a proposition to punish the Gen eral. PresidcHit Jackson, it seems, always supposed that Mr. Culhoun was the uniforiii approver of his whole conduct on the Sem inole raiii|>aign. I>ut the General happen- eJ to be informed that Mr. Crawfonl had male a statement concerning this business, which had c«jm«; to the knowledge of Col. J. A. Hamilton, jf New-York; and on mf^ing Mr. Hamilton, he told him that he had received information from aiK)thcr source [the Marshal of the District] and re quested him to write and obtain the consent of the profier parties to his seeing the state ment. Accordingly, Col. If.imilton procu red the consent, anil Mr. Crawford’s letter to Mr. Forsyth. When the President had read this, he, the day after, [ Vlay IH, ' encUjsed a copy to Mr. ('uIIkmui, annmincing his pur|MiS3 t» ascfirtain whether it could U.- possibly correct. Such were Ihe cjiusrs and commencement of the correspondence. “ In answering the President's note, Mr. Calhoun begins by denying his right to call in question his [Mr. Calhoun'sJ conduct on Ihe x:casion mentiH»el. He disclaims any irt'-a of mttking excuws it> his n.piy, and t-lls tiie General that he must or "should have known that he [Mr. C.] concurml in the de ision of the cabinet tiiat the (Jener- al’s orders did not authorise tlie r>ccu|i»tiofi of St. Marks and I'ensaro'a. With res- to the part he to»k in the ilelilterdtioiiH ' of the cabinet, as Secretary of War, he adds that he did express his opinion that th' orders had b!fn tranMr:ended, and that i:iv»'stigation, as a matter >f cfMjrse, ouuht to f >llow ; but that he never qiiestioiH;d the jwtriofisin, nor the motives of the (ieneral; and that ho fiiwlly gave his aMs«‘nt and sup- p;rf to th'» efiurse wliich was uii.'inimousl} d3torn»inet! uj>on in the cabinet, aud com- municatel to the (icncnil by >lr. Monno’s letter of July 10th, lSl8.” “ The Book,” as it is familiarly rall“d in Washington, has certainly s»iceeeded in civ- ating gi'eut coniniotioii in the political world. That It has rausod an irreparable bn'uch between some of tl»c membiTS of the Cab inet, we believe is not questioncdi “ 'I'lie Globe,” a pnpf'r in the confidence of the Pn*»ith;nt, donouuces the “ Washington Tel egraph” as being a jirincijwil agent in en deavoring to bring out Mr. Calhoun for Ihe Presidency, for the next four years, wheth er Gen. Jackson should be a candidate or not, while the “ Telegnipli”denounces" The Globe” for making divisions in tkf Uepiib- lican [Hirty ! Thus the two leading Admin- istnition papers are nt l*ggerlieuils, and with the dis^MMisions and strife in the I’ahi- net, we judge there is troublesome times at head ((uarters. Some arc of opinion, that the gentleiiian noticed by .Mr. lJurges, ma\ be thanked for the greater part of the diffi culty thus created ; he is represented as be ing exceeding busy in electioneering for himself behind the curtain ! Others think there is more than one aspirant to the Pres idency about the General, and that the cause of this “ confusion worse confounded” may be ascribed to this source. It is natural for candilates to be Jealjus, and there may be some truth in the surmise. At all events, the present situation of affairs, at \Vashing- ton, is seen with deep regret by hundreds and tliousunds, who care for the honor and prosperity of their country, and not for tlio predominance of particular individuals, from party motives. Such distraction in the s|M>t which should give life, health and vigor to the free institutions of our republic, and where the whole machinery of government IS set in motion and controlled, cannut, we fear, but seriously af]ect the common inter ests of our country.—Phil.

Mint of tmk I'MTKn States, Pliiladt'l|iliu, Jan. 31, l^tl. Sir : Confoniiabic to general instnictions from the 'I’reasury Department, iu«sjiys have been made of' the following foreign coins, the result of which is now respectfully suf)- mitted: GOLD a)IN!*. From the Assayer’s Rejwrt it appears, that the golil coins of Great Britain and Portugal contain 22 parts of fine gold in 21 |«rts; thooc of France 21 lW-32 jmrts of fine gold in 24 parts; and those of S|>nin, 20 (>3-U4 parts of fine in 24 |>arts. The value (ler [>enny weight of the gold coins of Great Britain and Portugal, de«lu- ced from the above assay, is the same as tfiat of the gold coins of the I'nited States, viz. 8-i) cents; that of the gold coins of Fnmoc, is h7^ cents; and that of the gold coins of Spain, >^4.7 cents p«?r pennyweight. These results are very nearly conforma ble to those of our previrm ass:i_\s of the above coins, except in regard to gold coins 111 Spam, which, in this lastaiH-e, give a va lue slightly alx)vc the average of those us- imtlv obtuiiicd. It nmy tx‘ coiitidt'litly iiil'T- red, that no reduction in fineness has bc«!n made in either of the coins mentiKM-d. In addition to the above, assays have been mads of the gold coins of Mexico and ’o- lombia, issuel m Ic*'^'); luid of Centnil A- merica, issued in I''27, lieing the latest dates procured. 'I'he result indicates an adheranee on the [>art of lh»e Ciovcnimeiits, to the gold standard of .“^pain ; tlie greatest deviatum from that staiulard not b)'ing grea ter than S|»inish gold coins frequently ex hibit. 'I’he gold coins of Ihost; new States may be estimated at e!4 2.')-100 cents (»er pennyweight, which cories|Kiiids with the average value thereof, ascertuiniNl by the .ossavs of l'?20. SH.VER COIN.S. Of S|>anish milled dollars, no Inter dates have been procurel than those heretofore assayed and reported r»n, viz. of the year l'"2t. 'I'he fineness thereof may be stated at 10 oz. 15 dwts. 12 grains fme silver in 12 ounws, conformably to previous rejKirts. 'I'he value |K;r ounce corres[Kinding thereto is 110 i-10 cents. Standard silver of Ihe L'nited States contains 10 oz. 14 dwts. 4 ij-13 grains of fine silver m 12 oum;es, the value correspjnding to which, is 110 •‘J'^-100 cents per ounce. S(K:cimens of the Mexican and Peruvian dollar of 1^3(», the (Antral American >f 1 “(2!>, and that of I^a Plata of 1S27 and 182S, have also been subfnitte*i to exanunation. 'I'he three first mentioned, are liniiid to be of the full SpaiMsh standard ; they even in cline to a fintiiess slightly superior to the ordinarj' Spanish dollar, but not such as to indicate any authorized appreciation in this r*‘s|»ect. B«-ing of recent emission, their weight exceeds that of the dollar of Spain now in cireulation. 'I'he intrinsic value of these coins may lie stated at 110 1-10 cents per ounce. By tale, they may Ixj estima ted to average 100 cents 4i mills. 'I'he s[ieciini:ns of the dollar of I^a Pla ta, exarmiifsl in 1^20, were fiiund equal in fiiieiiess to the Mexican, though of less va lue by tale, by reasm of their inferiority thereto in weight. On an avenig«% they were not found to b«! worth more than 100 rents each. 'I'he latest dates then examine*l were of I SI 3 and 'I'he specimens of this coin issued in 1*^27 and 1M2H, miw assayed, pre- s*Mits results materially diffi'rent from the alnive, and indicate a very sensible deterio ration in Ihe xtiindard thereof. 'I’hesc s[K'- ciniens vary from 10 oz. 1 d»vt. 12 gniins line- silver, to i 0 fiz. 7 dwts. 0 grains in 12 ouiicfM, 'I'he tijrmer is ec|uivalent to cents j^T '•’ince, and the latter to ill 0-10 cents |K.’r ••unce. 'I'he value of the former, according to tli ir ordinary weight, will l>e, l>_\ liile, alHjiit 03 O-IO cents, and that of the latter 001, cents. Nothing can be iisi fully affirmed of the average value of coins liu- Me to variations ef this exteiit. Late do[iosites of large amounts In Span ish dollars, exhibit a result not obsorv*d at the Mint livfore the latter part of the last year. They have heretofore Ik’cii stated us producing on an avcrag'? 10(t cents «1 mills, Conformulily to the ascertained vaUie of large quantities received from time to time for coinagx'. Recent ilei«osites have |)roluced less than one mill above their nominal value. 'I his is to Ik? attrilmted to the diiimiislied average weight of these coins, arising in |mrt from the cessation of new issues, and probably still more to the fact, that a lurgt; pro[H)rtion of the S|»om8h dollars now remaining in the United States may lie tho iesiUie of (uircels f'roni which the’most |K-rfect have been selected-for the pnrjHises of commerce and the arts. ^ Very restiectfullv, vtmr oU-dient serv’t. ■ ■ .SAMl’iX MOORE.
