SATURD W, FEU. 11. 1837. CONGRESS. In the Senate on the 28th hit. the V'ce President, after the read ing of Ihe Journal, addressed the House as follows: Senators: The period is at hind which is to terminate the oJlHai relation that has existed between us, and 1 leave probably never to return to it, a body with which I have been long connected; where some remiin whom I found here fifteen years ago, and where, in the progress of public duties :personal associations have arisen never to be forgotten. r rom such scenes i cannot retire wiiuoui i emotion. Nor can I give to the! Senate the usual opportunity ofj choosing another to preside for a j time over theirdeliberations, with- out referring to the manner in I ... which I have endeavored to dis-1 charge a most gratifying and hon orable trust connected with the of fice to which mycountry called me. Entering upon it with unaffec ted diffidence, well knowing how little my studies had been directed to its peculiar duties, 1 was vet strengthened by the determination then expressed, so to discharge the authority with which 1 was in vested, as "best to protpct the rights, to respect the feelings, and to guard tire reputations of all who would be affected by its exercise." 1 was sure that, if successful in this, I should be pardoned for er rors which 1 could hardly expect to avoid. In the interval that has since elapsed it has been our lot in this assembly to pass through scenes of unusual excitement: the intense interest on absorbingtopics, which has pervaded our whole communi ty, could not be unfelt within these walls. The warmth of po litical parties, natural in such ! times, the unguarded ardor of sudd?u debate, and the collisions seldom to be separated from the invaluable privilege of free dis cussion, have not been (infrequent ly mingled with the more tranquil tenor of ordinary legislation. 1 cannot hope that in emergencies like these, 1 have always been so fortunate as to satisfy every one around me; yet, I permit myself to think that the extent to which my decisions have been approved by .the Senate is some evidence that my efforts justly to administer their Rules have not been vain; and I conscientiously cherish the conviction, that on no occasion have I departed from my early resolution, or been regardless of what was due to the rights or the feelings of the members of this body. -Though ! may henceforth be Separated from the Senate. 1 can never cease to revert with peculiar interest to my long connexion with it. In every situation in my fu ture life 1 shall remember with a just pride the evidences of appro bation and confidence which I have here received; and as an Ameri can citizen, devotedly attached toj the institutions of my country, I must always regard with becoming and sincere respect a branch of our Government, invested with such extensive powers, and design ed by our forefathers to accom plish such important results. Indulging an ardent wish that every success may await yon in performing the exalted and hon orable duties of your public trust, and offering my warmest prayers that prosperity and happiness may be constant attendants on eacli of you, along the future paths of life, 1 respectfully bid vou farewell. Mr. Van buren then retired, and the Senate proceeded to bal lot. for a President pro tern. The ballots being deposited, there ap peared to be 38 votes given 19 necessary to a choice, nf which Air. King of Alabama had 27 Mr. Southard 7, and ihe others were scattering. Mr King of Alabama was therefore declared to be elected President pro tern, and he was conducted to the Chair by Mr. Benton. The President pro tem. then ad dressed the Senate. Mr. Wright, from the Commit tee of Finance, has introduced a bill to reduce the Revenue, by re ducing the Tariff. Mr. Clay ear nestly protested against any dis turbance of this subject, as settled in 1833 by 'the Compromise act. On Friday the 3d iust. much of the day was occupied, in the House, "in 'a discussion of a most painful and disagreeable nature, arising out ol a collision between two gentlenmen, (Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, and Mr. Jarvis, of Maine,) which transgressed the usual bounds of parliamentary practice. In the end, however, ihe difficulty was adjusted, by the intervention of other members, i . .... i . i i mnru cntilarlfiri V I tin 11 (llirmir "- 0 long discussion it appeared likely l ue ... The Committee, appointed by the House of Representatives in the early part of the Session ofCon- gress, to investigate the cause of the fire by which the Post Office Department was consumed, have reported their inability to at rive at any satisfactory conclusion in relation thereto. A Joint Resolution has been re ported to Congress from the Li brary Committee, appropriating $30,000 to purchase from Airs. Madison, the Manuscripts of her late distinguished husband. Coinage. A message from the President of the United States, transmitting a copy of the annual report of the Directdr of the Mint at Philadelphia, showing the ope rations of that institution during the past year, and also the prog ress made towards the completion of the Branch Mints in North Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana. From one of the statements ac companying the Report it appears that the coinage of the Mint in the year 1830 iias been in gold, $4,1 35,700; iu silver, $3,606,100; in copper, $23,100. Whole a mount coined in 1 836, $7,764,900. fXThe Globe announces the arrival of Mr. Ellis, Charge dAf faires of the United Slates, in Washington, md intimates that a communication will tie made to Congress by the Executive, which "will develope the state of things existing at the moment our Charge d' Affaires left Mexico." Our Rail Road. It will be perceiied from a notice this day, published by the President of ihe Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road Company, that a call is made for a special meeting of the stockholders on the 27th inst. This is done with a view of having books for subscription opened im mediately, in order that the bal ance of the capital required may be forthwith subscribed, and there by seMire to themselves ihe sub scription on the part of the slate. Though the call is directed to the stockholders only, yet it is one in which the Public is deeply con cerned, and to which no one should turn a deaf ear. For years have we been open-mouthed and clamorous against the slate, for so long withholding her aid in the cause of internal imnrovement. And now, since she has hearkened to the voice of her enterprising citizens, and generously stretched forth her hand to aid them, shall j we play the part of laggards, and refuse the means required at our hands, and which are so complete ly within our powei? Certainly not! By way of aiding this noble en terprize, one in which the town of Wilmington and Eastern North Carolina have so deep an interest, the two banks in this place, have also taken a praiseworthy stand. They have consented to loan to individuals, (on approved personal security,) 30 per cent, of the a mount they may subscribe, on a credit of iwelve months; and then to be collected in instalments of one fourth every 90 days. What more can or ought we to expect. We appeal to every lover of bis country, every true son of North Carolina, who loves His own dear native state," to -come forward, and respond to the call now made. If this is not enough, we would urge their further subscriptions, upon the ground of interest, stem interest itself, and tell them, that some of the wisest heads of our country, in nowise connected with the undertaking, have pronounced as their firm belief: "that in five years from this time, the slock ot this road will sell at two hundred per cent." Let us, then, be but true to ourselves, and this rich re ward will soon be ours. We are haopy to learn, that an additional subscription, of up wards of seventy thousand dollars, was made on the opening of the books yesterday, by the citizens of th'rs place alone. They have set their friends in the country a noble emple'fVilmington Adv. CC?" Archibald M.

A distinguished visiter. There is now in this place the smallest Dwarf ilia' we ever saw. His name is Curtis Chambers, he is a native of Iredell county, in this Stale, and was bom on the 4lh of March, 1818, almost nineteen years ago. His stature is rather under 36 inches, and he weigh 30 pounds! We conversed with this manikin a few evenings ago, and found that his intellect is a bout on an equality with that of uneducated lads of twelve or four teen. He is the offspring of heal thy parents who were of rather j more than common stature, and he ! has tw o brothers also of the usual j R..t whnt i ,nns, .u,r ' is, that there were twoother dwarfs j in the family, both smaller than Curtis, one of whom, we believe.! ; ..;m r.;.. n-u i ! Boti are younger, ins lather is poor, but able to support his family, and the visit of the little man is not for the purpose of exhibition for gain, but for the gratification of curi osity, or, as he told us, for the pur pose of "seeing a little more of the world." JSewbern Spec. INDIAN WAR. The Creeks Apprehended Di fficulties. A letter in the Little Ko k Arkansas Gazette of Jan. 3d, has the arrival af A-potl-lo-yo-ho-la and his chiefs at Fort Gibson. The Mcintosh party have held a council and exhibited some symptoms of disaffection. They have refused to admit Gen. Arbuckle to their deliberations. Blood is apprehended from their contentious for power. The New Orleans Bulletin of I the 25th ull. believes the report of threatened hostilities, to be well founded and makes the following sensiuie ano judicious remarks. The accounts which we publish ed esterday from Arkansas, af ford pretty conclusive grounds for believing that a savage warfare is shortly to be commenced on our Western frontier, and that without the adoption of some prompt mea sures on the part of the Govern ment for the defence of ihe coun try, ihe scattered inhabitants of that vast region may be subjected to all the horrors and cruellies which for some lime past have desolated portions of .Alabama; and Florida. Many of the tribes west of the Mississippi, bordering on the Rocky mountains, are re presented by travellers as among the most warlike of the aboriginal tribes. They are brave, cunning and cruel, and are possessed o( ttrealer skill in fighting and in ihe use of weapons than most ot the nations formerly inhabiting the country on this side of the Alissi sippi. The Chcrulcets Dissatisfied. We learn from the Mobile Regis ter of Jan. 23d, that the Cherokee Delegation sent lately by that tribe to examine the country set apart for them west of the Missis sippi, have returned, and were al Decatur, Ala. Jan. 10th, greatly dissatisfied with the location that had been made. They very rea sonably object that it is not only unhealthy but too cold, and that their more southern constitutions cannot endure the change. This delegation will proceed to Wash ington and lay their grievances before the government. They are accompanied by a delegation from that portion of the Cherokees thet are now west of the Mississippi. The first dele gation is headed by John Ross, the other by John Looney, jY. Y. Star.
