for being a spy ; fourth, for harboring, re

wriU' g and publishing a corrupt libel .
" The order fr iho arrest, though made
on the dy of the publication, and though
ccompatHd with abundant threatsof hang.
inv"was not executed till the sixth. On
the fifih, Judge Hall of the United States
Court, acting upon misinformation as to his
beinir then . under arrest, issued a writ of
habeas corpus to have him brought before
the Court. Finding, n a renewal of the
application tho next day, that tha writ had
been prematurely issued nnd never acted
on, the Judge, for tho purpose of saving
tho trouble of writing a he- orler, and for
no other conceivable motive, altered the
date of the order to the sixth, and ..re-deli,
vered it to the officer. Whether, strictly
I speaking, ft was proper to make such an
alteration, or rather, whether there coujd
nossiblv be any impropriety in it, would ro-
ouira minurer stnttinent of the fact? ilmn
has vet been published to determine. Bat
that is immaterial, for it is very certain
there was notliiuir criminal in it, and that
-inlaea-npl lie in Gen, Jnr.kOTR.8 tftouth to
imnuta'nnv such criminality to him. For
the General, in one of his recently publish
ed letters, with an amusing sort of naivete,
tMt us'that ho robbed tho records of the
Court of tSTs very document, nnd that, for
(private purposes of bis own, he lias retain
nd lha miners so robbed ever since. It
would be equally iiideeeut and false to im
nyto a felonious inti-ayn to cither of them.
'.J Tha wit of habeas corpus was answer,
rd by an order to a file of soldiers to arrest
and imprison the Judge. Mr. Dick, the
United States Attorney , then obtained from
Judge Lewis, of tlw Louisiana Court-, n
writ in favor of , Judge llill ; and thw wn&
answered by an order for tiie arrest and iin-www-uf-JJLejid
latter was arrested and imprisoned the
former, from some unexplained cause, was
not. They had both served in the buttle,
and Lewis had particularly distinguished
himself for bis gnllantry.
"The Gwwral himself admit that, on
tliis same sixth of March, he wrote to tho
British commander, notifying him that he
had received information, of the ratification
of the treaty of peace, which, though not
official, was such as to leave no doubt of
the fact. . Mr. Lounllier was therefore tried
after the General letievci the treaty was
ratified, and, though acquitted by the Court
jHnrtml, was not rcicascu jrom p"ju U"
aaout Jhe fifteenth, when mnrun mw was
revoked. It was not until ir.eeieventn.ann
not until tha militia had befli dwbandud,
that Judge Hall was released from actual
confinement nnd even then; was ignomin
. iously escorted by a file of soldiers beyond
the city Jiiiuls, nnd there dismissed with the
modest commands of the General that he
should not return within twelve miles of the
city until official intelligence of the race
was received, or until the enemy had 'efl
the Southern coast. Thus, in the language
of, a Louisiana Senator, when jt was
thought the militia lorce might safely be
disbanded, it was not thought hafe for n

After some further businessof littliTlaV
port, guishing the morning hour, Mr. Walk
er claimed the attenvion of tho Senate to
an cxnlanalion due from him in regard to
the adverse statements of Mr! Rives and
Mr. Benton, as to certain matters of fact
..lled"od in a published speech of the former
and yesterday denied by the latter. He
went onto stuto that, when questioned as
to his impression of theeflect of the proof
adduced by Mr. B. against that produced
by Mr. Rives o'nlthe occasion, he had tidd
tho Senator J'rom "Virginia, that he did not
consider the map brought to light by Mr.
B. as rebutting that to which Mr, R. refer
red. But he clearly recollected the Sena-'
lor from Missouri to Doint out tho color-d
Motrin the chart which he p roUuced', "an JIio .'
'deaiguato it, in a loud voice and with an
emphasis of manner, as tho same " bloody
lino" to which soTnuch importance was at
tached by Mr. Sparks and Mr. Rives.
The Senator proceeded to argumentative
proofs thai tho Jpap in question could not,
by any possibility, have embodied Dr.
Franklin's views of the boundary establish
ed by the treaty of 1784. . There were, he
intimated, personal reasons why he should
defend tho fa mo of that eminent man. (The
Senator jiq. doubt here alluded to some alli
ance between himself rnd the family of Dr.
Franklin.). The colarejllinn do'A'n Jn
the map of Mr. Spark in no sort answer
ed to that designated by Pr Franklin in ihe
treaty This should ' (according to. his
words) run duo north from the headwaters
of the Si. Croix to those of tho St. Law.
rence. Now the line of Mr. Sparks and
Mr. Rives neither starts from tho same
point, nor pursues for one inch a northerly
direction, but runs almost west. Ma ad
duces various other proofs that this map in
no manner embodied DrFraoklin's ideas
of the boundary. ;

to re.iifprm whalho had stated; and , op

Senators, many of whom, ho was assured,
.coincided with hinrin their rdiiiemorance of
the facts.
Mr. Benton would not allow himself to
bedruwn jnto any ,bu' the real issue.. VVhat
that was would abundantly appear, by read
ing again what the Senator, had said in his
written speech. Here ho again reud Mr.
Rives 8 words ; which are to the effect
" that Mr B.'in the map which he produced
could detect a microscopic doited line,
while it required other eyes to render visi
ble to him a broad rud line." The stale,
ment wns entirely iucorrect in point of fact ;
and it did not stop short, in reality, of im
puting tq him a design to mislead the . Sen
ate in a matter of great national momcnt.
It was of this specific statement that he
ewniplairied...:,,.,,
Mr, Rives reioined, with some heat. but
decorously, re-alledgingwhal hq had before
said. -
Mr. Benton said he would not repeat
himself, but bring this matter to n point.
He i returned once more to the . words pf
whioh he complained ; read them again to
the Senate, and insisted that nil who were
attending to what passed at the timo in
question must recollect that this was not the
stole of the facts. The Senator spoke
very collectedly, but obviously with strong
feelings.
Mr. Rives once more reiterated hia own

be should rest.

his favorite extract from Mr. Rives' speech

of merit shall be owing to a want of ability
on our part, and not a want of disposition or

, Up to the lost dates, the Legislature was
engaged in discussing the proposition to
accept the charter of the State Bank.- The
resolutions first brought before the Legis
lature on this subject, were by Mr. Jones,
of Ortngei and of a cbiracler" altogether
indirect they were evasive, and in fact a
mere puerile quibble not directly meeting
the question at all, though they professed
to be intended to accept tho charter. It
may be well enough just here to remind tho
reader that, the stockholders did not propose
to surrender the charter only on condition
that it was desired by the Legislature. If
tho Legislatore, as a partner in the coo.
cent, desired a dissolution of the partner-

Resolutions of Mr. Jones, by striking out
all after Whereas, and inserting the fol

Mr. Barringer moved an amendment, to
strike out all after whereas, and insert tho
followinet f Beinir tha same ottered yester

The question then pending was on me
adoDt onofthe amendment ol Mr. ttarrio
err: and Mr. Francis addressed the House
at ereat length endeavoring to show that
tho original Resolutions did not meet the
proposition of the dunks, would be a mere
evasion of the question and strongly urged
upon the House to reject tho amendment,
as it would be ruinous to the People to wind
uo tbe business of the Bank at this time.
, He was replied to by Mr. McRae, who
took occasion to ottempt to luitu his pro
mise, that he would prove that the, Banks
had violated their Charters,' and that they
were corrupt, foully corrupt. Asa rs re
speclirMin of lis logtalnmakipgtlte-r

having loaned money to the Whigs in 1840,
to form their , Tippecanoe Clubs. . These
associations, as thouglu, prima facie evi.
deoce of the corroptwntpJLlbe Banlts.
Next, tho Banks had violated their Charier
in not making dividends on several occa
siorm- and lastly, that they had practised
fuvontiam. x . ,
Mr. Scales followed briefly in reply to
remark mado by Mr. Francis in reference
to bim.
Mr. Barringer, mado some remarks . in
reply to Mr. McRae, in which ho denied
I ti'lwiw uiu drmaOTsTsiMi iuii in - a uiu
that tha vVbtg Associations

for tho proof ho thought it a gross insult
to a majority of the Amiricnn people to
charge them with having been thus bought
up by the Bank. Ho stated further, that
the gentleman from Cumberland , had dis
played treat ignoranco of Banking in sup
poning it a violution of tho Charter not to
m ,ko a dividend. X his was regulated ac
cording to the profits if there wero no pro
fits, there was no dividend.
Mr. Briggs, called for a division of the
Question; but alter some Jittlo discussion
withdrew it.
The question was then taken on the
amendment of Mr. Barringer, and it was
decided in tho negative Yeaa 15, Ixa

Tho question was -then taken on the
amendment of Mr. Francis, and it was de

The nuestion then recurring on tho on.

So it will he seen that, by a meagre ma
joriiy, this Jacobinical measure has passed.
Up to the present Writing, no account has

The committco to whom the subject was
referred, reported uufavorably to the enact

and creditor. This wns unquestionably
right. : . ' '
Tho President of the Bank of the Stato
has sent an able and lucid reply to certain
inquiries concerning that institution, to Mr
Brown, chairman of the joint select com-
mittce on banks which goes to prove the
truth of ihe assertion of tho Standard, thai
f the Bank of the Stale is one of Hie safest
and best managed institutions in the Union."
The chief complainfngainst the Bank has
been, that it issued too little that it did not
discount mora freely, and consequently its
circulation is too contracted that while
they wero authorised to issue (Ares dollars
in pnper for every one of specio on hands,
their issues actually amonnted to very little
more than the specie in their vaults. Judge
