gratified to learn that the statement
recently published, relative to the

The question of national cur

caution, but not with so much
apprehension as to perpetuate
evils which it is in the power of
Congress to remedy. Those
who are interested will no
doubt think otherwise; but
those who make laws for a
whole people, which affect
them not for a day but for gen
erations, have a higher respon
sibility. The Bank of the U
nited States is not the only,
certainly not the soundest in
the world, and it will become
the duty of those who arc to
decide on the question of its

Fire. On Thursday after
noon last (Gth inst.) while both
branches of the Legislature
were in session, an alarm that
the Capitol was on fire was gi
ven, when an immediate and
simultaneous movement was
made by all for the doors, whose
dimensions, tho' considerable,
were scarcely sufficient for the
crowd which pressed forward.
On reaching the outside of the
Vol. rr.Va. S3.
building, it was found that the
flames were issuing from the
roof near the northern chimney.
A few spirited individuals
immediately ascended the roof,
and, taking off their coats and
placing them over the fire,
kept it under until water could
be obtained. The fire is sup
posed lo have originated thus:
the end of the ridge Dole beino-
inserted in ihe chimney, took
fire, and the flame burst
through the roof, where it was
iortunately discovered in time
to prevent any material injury.

Blood enough has been shd,

cannot be legally received, but
circumstances may sustain it.

Execution of Itnapp. Jo
seph J. Knapp, jr. was hung at
Saiem on Friday last, pursuant
to sentence for the murder of
Capt. Joseph White. He was
placed on the scaffold at 7 min
utes before 9, when the death
warrant was read to him, du
ring which he was supported
on each side by officers. His
demeanor was tolerably com
posed, though he appeared
haggard and;, dejected. The
convulsive spasms continued a
boutfive minutes; in thirty min
utes the body was cut down,
placed in a coffin, and carried
into the jail. His last inter
view with his wife took place
on Thursday evening. The
scene is represented, by a per
son who witnessed it, to have
been truly heart rending. She
was unable to support herself
on leaving his cell. His father
also took his last farewell at the
same time.
