CONGRESS. Stai4f, April It Ja Hmu of Jlrpreteatalitct, the bill to estend Uie charter of tlie Union Hank t( Ueorgetuwn, was read the third time and passed. A . resolution offered by Mr. liopkin. of Virginia, for dirorciag the government from all connexion wii!t i!,e public press, wss taken up daring the morning hour, and Mr. Uond concluded his remarks up on it. The lionse was engigej in the consi deration of private bills during the re mainder of the sitiin . MMiJjt, Apia ic lt the Sennit. Mr. King offered a I tint residution, which lies on the table fur consecration, that Congress adjourn on the first Monday in June The Senate took up for consideration the bill to present the issuing and circu lation i.f the notes of the lute United Slates IJink. when Mr. Grundy argued at much length, that the measure propos ed by the bill was cnnstituiional, just, and expedient. !i the course of bis remarks he took oecaiinn to animadvert upon Mr. Middle tetter, which lis characterized as one of the most extraordinary productions of the lime. He considered il as con taining a virtual d.-claraiinn of war against tle Administration, rio-rring to the part re'dtiug to jelling behind cotton bales," &e. Li the Ijuse of Representatives, Mr. Shields presented a resolution of the le gislature of Tennessee, in favor of the annexation of Texas to the United State. Mr. Hopkins, in pursuance of notice given on Saturday, offered a resolution, proffering the aid ol the government to sustain such banks as shall resume spe cie payments, it being the same as that presented by Mr. Ilameron Monday hst, and afterwards withdrawn. On a motion to suspend the rules for the purpose of taking up the considera tion of this resolution, the votes were, aves IIC, nays 83 two thirds being re quired, the rules were not suspended. J On this motion the North Carolina de legation voted as follows: JVm Messrs. Deberry, A. II. Shep pcrd, V. Shrpard, Stanly, Sawyer, Gra ham. Rencher, Williams. .V Messrs. Connor, Hawkins, M'Ky, Montgomery. Mr. l-ushing offered a resolution, di recting the Secretary of the Treasury to inform this House whether a certain let ter bearing his signature, and the date of the H it of Mirch, 183ft. which has up pearcd in the public papers, and which purports to make knon the purpose of the Treasury Department in relation to the receipt and disbtirsment of ihc promis sory notes of state banks by the federal government, is authentic or not; ami il it be, to communicate to the House a co py of the same; and r.lso copies of auy and every other official letter on the same subject-matter; and that he be further di rected to report to the House the views and intentions of the department in the premise;, and the measures adopted, or to be adopted, in execution thereof. Mr. Ciishiug moved to suspend the rules for the purpose of considering the resolution, but the motion did not prevail. Mr. Adams presented the following re solution, which was adopted without ob jection: fitsolceJ, That the President of the I'uited States be requested to communi cate to this Hoii!e, if not incompatible with the public interest, any information which he may have received, officially or otherwise, relating loan attack by a .Mex ican armed vessel upon the steamboat Co lumbia, bearing tlie flag of the United States, in the Uu'.f of Mexico. On motion of Mr. Harlan, the Post master (Jriieral was directed to inform the House whether he had collected a judgment tendered in favor of the Post Office Department against Samuel 11. Crockett and Francis P. Blair, in the Fe deral Court of Kentucky, in May 182 1. for 1827 dollars; and if not, what steps have been taken to enforce the collection of the same. He was also directed to in form this House what amount of moneys has been paid by his department to the sid trancis f. 15 lair for printing order ed by said Department since the rendi tion of the judgment, and return of the writ of execution aforesaid. " Tuesday, April 1 7. Ii the Senate, the bill to extend the charter of the Union Dank of Georgetown was read twice and referred. The bill to prohibit the circulation of bills of the late Bank of the United Slates was taken up, but no one appeared pre pared to speak on the subject and it was postponed until to morrow. Li the House of Ilepresentatives, Mr. Yell, from the committee on military af fairs, reported a bill to provide for the defence of the Western frontier. Wednesday, Apiil 18. In the Senate, the joint resolution for closing the present session of Congress ! on tlie first Monday of Jims next, after seaie delate, wiloiderej to a tbiiJ read-1 ing. I -t r- jtir, -ny, 01 svrniufky, rose, and sanl that a bill, a tieh soigbt be called Uie Pe aiieniiary bill, bad been made the order tor to-day, with the aderstaadiag that it would bow be considered. Mr. C. bad bo wish to press its consideration, if the friends of tlie till were not ready to act Bpon it; but it bad been laid on the table with tlie understanding that it would be cow taken Bp. Mr. Buchanan said the Senator need rtot fesr that be would nut base an oppor tunity to vote 09 Uie bill. There was bo disposition in its fiiend to suppress it. But Mr. B. would like to bear the Sena tor justify the issue of the old Botes of the United States Bank after tie expira tion ol its charter. Mr. Clay said he was afraid the Sena tor would not be gratified in Uie fulfil inent of any such expectation. Mr. C. would undertake ti smeh jiitificatiuii; but be wished to see if gentlemen were ready to rote that government bad any such power as that claimed by the till. The sulj-ct was here dropped, no mo tion being made to take the bill up, and no announcement of the. bill from the Chair. The bill to establish a Board of Com missioners to hear and examine claim aeainst the United States, was consider ed and amended, and afterwards laid on the table and ordered to be piinted. hi the Ihme of Representatives, tie Cuiiiberl i:id lioad b.ll was discussed at some length. Thursday, April 19. Iii the Senate, Mr. N'orvell presented a joint resolution of the legislature of .Michigan against the annexation or Tex as or any other foreign territory to the Union; hi-h was hid on the table, and ordered to be piinted. The joint resolution fixing a day for the adjournment of Congress, coming op br a third reading, was postponed to .Vomhv week. On motion of Mr. Wall, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill to prohi bit the issuing and circulation of the notes of the late United Slates Bank. The bill underwent several modifications, and was debated at considerable length. Li the Home of Representatives, the Cumberland Koad bill was still farther disrussed. Fridif, Apri! 80. lit the Senate, a resolution offered by Mr. Preston, concerning the annexation of Texas to the United States, was made the special order for Monday next. The Seriate resumed the consideration of the bill to prevent the issuing and cir culation of the notes of the la'e Bank ol tlie United States. The subject was discussed at great length, almost wholly on the question of the constitutional power to pass the bill, by Messrs. Wall, Preston, Clay, of Ala bama, White, Grundy, Premiss, Hives, Calhoun, Itoaiie, and Brnwn. The bill was ordered to be engrossed lor a thud reading yea 37, nays 11. Il the Ihme of Representative, the Cumberland Hoad bill was again taken up, and the debate continued. Afier which the bill was read a third time and passed-yeas Oti. nays 80. The United States an I Mexico. Wc hope t'lat none of our readers will suffer themselves to be al armrd by the bellicose intimation thrown out in the Debate in the Senate on Wednesday last, w hereof we publish to day a report, which we regret that wc have not sooner had room for. Wc are happy to be able to express a very confident opinion that Congress have not yet entirely parted with their senses, and that nothing so Quixotic as a war a ainst the wind mills of Mexico is likely to be undertaken, at this moment, or under present circumstances. Least of a!l, w ill it be vnuertaken, we appre hend, to establish a new code of law, in which tha belligerent right of blockade by actual force shall have no place, and the right of running contraband goods be effectually protected. Seriously, some members ot Congress as well as some Editors, and especially those of the city of New Orleans, who are so clamorous for a war w ith Mexico, have suffered their feelings to run alto gether ahead of their judgment, in refer ence to the case of the steam-ship Colum bia. As a belligerent, the Uepub'.ic of Mexico has certain unquestionable rights. Among them is the right by her armed vessels, to examine vessels passing in nnd out of any pott of her enemy which she is actually blockading, in order to ascer tain their character. The commander of the Columbia, we dare say for very good reasons, did not choose to have his vessel searched if he could help it. He look the risk of attempting to avoid it, and was fortunate enough, (and we, are glad of it,) by means of his steam, to es cape detention, if not capture. ; He was lucky, as well as bold. And this is the whole of the case, upon which the Se nate is invoked to take revenge as for a national dishonor! A pleasant cauce of war, truly! Autional Intelligencer. Burton and FnknuUcr's JJorks. We learn that the immense water power at the falls of the South Catawba, owned bv Kobt. II. Burton, esq. and Col. Henry Uulenwider, has been provisionally sold at the neat jure of 110,000. The gentleman who has contracted for this property has returned to England for the purpose cfa!ly completing tLe bargain. AldiougU ia Uie bands of Uie present en ergetic proprietors, it is perhaps as good a cosiness as any a going, yet wtttt a pro per infusion of Caelisb siiZf and tanUei into the iron business of Lincoln, wc ny expect to witness a oew era in that de- partaent 01 industry. We leara that tle proposed purchaser declares that Uie treat Batnral facilities of ibis situation, wilt en able his company to compete on advaa tiots terms with the larfest Ecrooeaa Cstabliibmeoti. 11 ihinVa that thm ex- crl! enee of the oar and Ue cheapness of water power and provisions, will amply make on for the d.flerenee in the nnee of ; labor and the absence of mineral coal. Carolina It'atchutan. A'orth Carolina. Jharle B. Shaw, Esq. the Engineer of the Literary Board n ibis State, lias lately made a very interesting report uit the drsinings of Uie Swamp laud lying in its eastern section, herein be shows that there are not less than 139,003 acres of very valuable swamp lautls belonging to Uie Mate, beidej what has been entered by indivi dual lying on Pungo and Alligator rivers. and the lakes connected with Uem. and points out th mode by which they can be euvrtua'.ly drained, at a cost not ex ceeding $70,000. Mr. Shaw states, tint the appropria tion maue by the last LeiIatore 89.090, for the purpose of draining Matamuskeet Lake, has been expended on a canal; that the water is slow ly subsiding, but that other drains, and a further appropriation will be necessary to complete the work. This plan of recovering the Swamp lands of North Caroliua, does great cre dit to the Legislature of that state, and csiinot fail to add largely to the funds of its Literary Board. Betides putting into cultivation hundreds of thousands of seres of as rich laud as cau be found in the Union, it will remove a cause of sickness, arising from the malaria of its present state, and will prevent its respectable sg rieultural citizens from leaving their na tive state, in search of the rich lands of the far West. Sat. Intelligencer. From the Baltimore American. FLORIDA. Accounts from Carey's Ferry, E. F. received at the Savannah Georgian Of fice, states that the punters bad aban doned the crops between Fort Harlre, Mieanopy, and Newnansvilie, and had gone into the forts for protection. An express rider, it is said, was re cently shot in an arm within, a mile , of tort Ilarlee, on Ins way to Mieanopy and Newnanville, but made bis escape vaek to the fort. On the ICtli two men named Snowden and Townscnd, were murdered on New River, twelve miles from Fort Ilarlee, by a parly or Indians. Col. Sanchez, on the Cth, was driven from his plantation by a party of 18 to 30 Indians, and had gone to iNewnansviIle. A detachment of the 2d dragoons, left Fort Brooke on the Stit instant for Black Creek. The 4 di infantry under command of Col. roster, arrived at Fort Brooke on the same day, and three companies of 4th infantry, under the command of Major Reiley, were to have left Fort Brooke on the IO1I1 instant, for Mieanopy. The Charleston slips of the 14th, fur ther stale, that about a week ago, Col. liankhead captured seventy Indians near Key Biseame. It is also reported that Gov. Call has been killed by the Indians in est Honda. EMIGRATION. The ra?e for emigration which, a few years since, threatened almost to depopu- taor 111c uiu iumi uiui uia uctuiuci in some measure, stayed. We have even heard of several lamtlies removing back to their old haunts, havini? been taught bv experience, that " all is not gold that glistens." I tie loiiowmg exuaci 01 a letter, just received by us from an enter prizing and practical man who emigrated some vears since to the west, bears testi mony, as strong as it i just, to the capa cities ot our state, ami us auaptaiinn to the wants of her citizens. Register. I can now say from two years ex perience in the North, and seven years in the West, that North Carolina is as rich in materials for permanent improve ment, as any of the fourteen states that I have travelled through. And if the land holders there really understood what was best for their interests, they would be turning their attention to the ways and means of improving their homesteads, instead of disposing of them for a compa rative trille. with a view to acquisition of new lands to the great West. If they could only see, that the future Vineyards and Mulberry Plantations, on the sunny hills and verdant plains of the South, would, one day, not be exchanged lor the rich woodland's and prairies of the West, they would soon cease disposing of the former, for the acquisition of the latter. Certain it is, after all my wanderings, I decidedly prefer "ftorth Carolina to any state I have seen; for while other states have the advantages in soil and other cir cumstances, you have it in climate and the privileges of water power advanta ges which art can never bring about, where they are naturally lacking where as, the improvement of the soil, and eve ry other circumstance dependent thereon, can be effected with you by a little extra care and attention.
