Washington, Feb. 23.
Presentations of the Med
vis. Agreeably to appoint
ment, and in obedience to the
resolutions of Congress, the
President of the United States,
on Saturday last, presented to
the General Officers named be
ov, the gold Medals voted to
them by Resolutions to Con
gress, passed in the years IS 14
and ISIS, for gallantry and good
conduct, in the battles of Chip
pewa, Niagara, Erie, Platts
burg, and the Thames, in Upper
taniiud, uumi me iate war
with Great Britain. The deli-l
very of the Medals took place,!
at the Mansion of the President,:
in the presence of the Secretary
of State, of War, and of the Na-j
vy, several Members of Cong
ress, Military officers, and ma
ny citizens, who attended to;
witness the ceremony.
The following arc the officers1
to whom medals were delivered:
Major General Brown,
Major General Scott,
Major General Macomb,
Major General Harrison,
Major General Gaines, (thro'
Hon. M. Houston.)
Major General P. B. Porter,
(thro' Hon. Mr. Marvin.)
Brig. General Miller, (thro
Hon. Mr. Webster.) '
The President accompanied
the deli very of each medal with
an appropriate address, which,
with the respective replies, we
expect, to be enabled to publish
in our next paper. The cere-,
mony was full of interest, as it
was associated with the recollec
tion of some of the most brilli
ant events of the late war.
w.It is a matter of regret that
Gen. Gaines, who is in the city,
was prevented by indisposition
from attending and receiving:
his medal in person. Nat. I:Ucl.
the samples of the Manufactures
of the United States,4 which were
presented there for exhibition.
It is not our intention, at pres
ent, to attempt to give an ac
count of the articles exhibited.
That shall be done hereafter.
It is sufficient, for the present,
to say that the manufactured ar
ticles exhibit a state of perfec
tion far beyond the general
knowledge or belief, and wor
thy of all praise. The articles
were all so excellent, that it
would be difficult to say which
were most admired : the woollen
cloths, flannels, blankets, and i-ron-works,
such as coal grates,
&c. seemed to attract the most
general attention.
At a future dav, we have said
we shall give the particulars of
trie exhibition. Our present
object is, to invite all those who
are within reach of the invita
tion, to inspect these fruits of
domestic skill and industry.
To afford an opportunity to
all persons to see them, we un
derstand that the goods will re
mjiin open until the evening of
Friday. If it should be deter
mined to have a public sale of
the articles exhibited, it will be
announced in the newspapers.
N. Int. Feb. 23.
New Senators. The Senate
of the United States is summon
ed to meet on the 4th March to j
ratify or reject the appointments I
to be made by the new Presid-i
ent. Ten new Senators, who'
it is thought brine: an accession
of talents to that eminent body,
will take their seats at that time !
to wit: j
Gen.Wm. Marks, from Pcnn-
sylvan ia, vice Walter Lowrie. j
Judge Ambrose Spencer, from j
New York, vice Rufus King. I
John Rowan, from Kentucky,
vice Isham Talbot.
Win. H. Harrison, from Ohio,
vice Ethan A. Brown.
Wm. Hendricks, from Iudia
ca, vice Walter Taylor.
Judge Berrien, from Georgia,
vice Mr. Elliott.
Jeremiah Mason, from New
Hampshire, vice Mr. Parrott.
Dr. Henry Chambers, from
Alabama, vice Mr. Kelly.
The other two not recollected.
The appointment of Govern
or Barbour to the Department
of War, which seems to be a fact
certain, leaves a vacancy in the
Virginia Representatives. It is
to be regretted that there should
be a vacancy at such a time.
At no period perhaps, has the
Senate been so powerful in tal
ents. Berrien, Rowan, Spencer,
Mason, are men celebrated for
intellect, and great Debaters.
It is remarkable, that like our
Senator, Mr. Tazewell, they
have all at some time, been sus
pected of federalism. Things
have certainly turned round
strangely. We are either just
getting drunk, or just getting
sober. We wish the first may
not be the case.
Whh
Exhibition of Manufactures.
The Rotunda of the Capitol
yesterday presented a very in
teresting subject of examination
and reflection to the Members
of Congress, and all others in
Kremer vs. Clay. It ap
pears that Mr. Kremek has
published an address to his con
stituents in justification of his
conduct towards Mr. Clay.
We have not seen this produc
tion; but presume, from the cir
cumstance of its being refused a
place in the columns of the Na
tional Intelligencer, that it is
not marked by the most patient
spirit even if characterised by
truth and candor. The Nation
al Journal intimates that Mr.
K. is not the writer of the ad
dress, but merely an instrument
in the hands of others. lie is
then to be pitied.
Petersburg Int.
Mnrder. A report has
reached us, (says the Richmond
Compiler) that Mr. THOMAS
EDWARDS, of King William
county, has been murdered by
two of his slaves. It is said
that Mr. E. went into his woods
to see how two of his sawyers
went on. He had previously
complained of their being lazy,
and threatened some punish
ment upon them, if they con
tinued to neglect their duty.
He did not return that night
to his house, and his absence
excited some aiarm. The next
morning one of his family (per
haps his son) repaiied to the
spot where the sawyers were
at work; and seeing the traces
of blood, he became still more
uneasy and offered a considera
ble reward to one of them, if he
would inform him what had be
come of his master. The slave
finally confessed, on the prece
ding day, Mr. E. had been
knocked down by one of them
with an axe, and horrible to re
late! his body had been cut into
two, and the pieces secreted in
different places; one part was
found in the hollow trunk of a
tree! It is not yet said, wheth
er all the limbs had been found.
His watch, pocket book, &c. &c.
had been stolen by his murder
ers! The slaves were immedi
ately arrested and thrown into
prison.
Royal Notion. A writer in
a Boston paper suggests the pro
priety of having our national
coin to bear the stamp of tiie
President's face. This is no
new thing (remarks the Balti
more American) it was at
tempted in the days of Wash
ington, who immediately order
ed the die to be broken. The,
arms of the U. States are sub
stituted for the face of the Pre
sident, because it is desirable
that the image of our country
should take precedence of every
thing else because the face of
the President might substitute
party feeling for national -because
it is desirable that our re
verence should be paid not to
individuals but to laws. A
more fatal mode to perpetuate
and prolong party animosities,
could not be adopted, than the
proposed alteration in our na
tional coins.
Very Bad Roads! The
Boston stage coach due at New
York on Friday morning at S
o'clock, did not arrive till half
past 3 p. m. and came in drawn
by eight horses.

at my stable in
North amntnnC'tv-

PEDIGREE.
ATLANTIC ' was got by the
great horse Sir Archie, his dam,
M iss Halifax, by the imported
horse Phoenix, his grand dam Miss
Jefferson, by the imported horse
Diomed, out of Mr. Marmaduke
Johnson's Medley and Sentinel
Mare, so remarkable for producing
racers. Miss Halifax was raised
by Mr Thomas B.Hill, and distan
ced the field at Halifax in a race
when three years old. The im
ported horse Phoenix was gotten by
the imported horse Dragon, in Eng-.
land, his dam Portia by Volunteer,
he by Eclipse, out of the old Tartai'
Mare, which produced sixteen
colts after she was fourteen years
old; her dam, sister to Sting and
Bordeaux.by Cygnet, and also dam
of the imported horse Flimnap; her
dam by Cortouch, out of the famous
mare Ebony, by Basto. ATLAN
TIC was, no doubt, one among the
first rate race horses, as was mani
fested by his beating Mr. Wynn's
famous mare Beggar Girl, two mile
heats, for the Jockey Club purse at
Tarborough, in 1819, with' great
ease; after which, in training, he
unfortunately got lame, and trained
off the turf. Atlantic is now in full
health and vigor.
