It is sufficient tosav, thai he lias been made to lose a sum which may a mount, according to a statement received from, and acknowledged by Kane and the Clerk Champlain. to Ten Thousand Dollars. The citizens of Columbia, are already well informed of the secret departure of Kane from Columbia; it is only necessary for the Subscri ber to say, that this secret flight was attended with every thing calculated To render infam ous the name of Kane. lie lias not only com mitted an act, which ought under any circum stances, to b!acken the charactcr of the of fender, but he has also availed himself of a confidential re.'at on, in which he stood to wards the Subscriber, to efr-ct his object with all possible perfection. The Subscriber h^s appealed to the legal tribunals of his country, to restore to him a portion of the property of which he h is been defrauded; and he trusts that in appealing to the citizens of Columbia, and in submitting to then this statement of tacts, they may see in the fact of his great loss, the clearest proofof the absence of any participation in the actings and doings of Kanc.

The four young gentlemen from the i Georgetown Mathematical School, who are engaged as assistants in the Engineer corps of the State, have performed" the duties assigned them in a very satisfactory -manner. Among the young gentlemen of my acquaintance who have embraced the Pro fession of Civil Engineering, those who have been educated at Mathematical Schools have generally succeeded better than the graduates of our com mon Colleges. . A knowledge of Mineralogy and Chemistry is ol ?reat advantage to the Engineer ; and it is absolute ly necessary that he should be acquainted wrth Architectural or Line Drawing. The Student should be taught the principles of construction at the same time he is taught to make his drawing. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant. ? SYLVESTER WELCH, (Engineer in Chief for the State of Ky.) To T. F. JOHNSON, Esq. ? j * Professor of Civil Engineering , Georgetown Ky. Louisville, July 29th, 1835. Sir ? It affords me pleasure to testily to the very I correct and satisfactory manner in which the two young gentlemen from your School have conducted themsclvs during tke time they have been in the service ; and the ability manifested by the prompt and skilful discharge of their several duties, is alike creditable to them and the character of the institution in which they were instructed. The Books comprised in your- course ot studies are appropriate and well selected. I am pleased to hear that Topographical and Architectural Drawing is to form a part of your future course. This is an elegant accomplishment to an Engineer, and in the early part of his career will frequently bring him into notice and hasten his promotion to more respon se stations, where his talents may be fully devel Appreciating as I do your efforts to elevate the profession, I trust they will be crowned with success, and I assure you it will afford me very great plea sure to render any aid in my power to second jour views.

MISCELLANEOUS, MILITARY COURT OF INQUIRY. Frederick, Jan. 7, 1835. Present Maj. Gen. A. McCornb, President, Brig. Gen, Atkinson, ) . " " Brady, \ Associates. Capt. S. Cooper, Judge Advocate. I am *g*in at the reporters' table in the Hall of the great military tribunal, with in creased facilities for the acquisition of interest ing incidents for your readers. The inclemcnt weather and bad condition of the roads some whdt retarded the arrival of the members, but they are now all here, and will proceed with the case of Gen, Scott in due form. The Gon. looks indisposed; laboriously engaged durino ibe recess, and participating in the common catarrh of the season, he has lost much of his rudiness. A few days, however, will restore him to his wonted health. General Gaines arrived yesterday in the cars from Baltimore, and has taken lodgings at Mrs. Thomas', lie is in fine spirits, and, as report says, is deter mined to drag from their coverts the true cul prit8 in the Florida case. He will ask the Court for a subptBna for Lewis Cass, and re quire of him the explanations so justly due to the American people. Proceedings of Saturday, Jan. 7th. This was the most interesting day of the whole session. At an early hour, the Court room was crowded in anticipation of the ap pearance of Major General Gaines, whose ob jections to Major General Macomb as the pre siding officer of this Court, have been publicly avowed, and whose well earned fame as a sol dier, will forever render his dear to him coun trymen. As scoiuls the. President announced the readiness of the Court to proceed to busi ness, Major Gen. Scott requested that thn de posi'.ion of Gen, Clinch in continuation of his chain of evidence might be read. "There were, said he, "some questions which I omit ted to put to General Clinch, while here, Mr. President, and I availed myself of the kind ness of the Judge Advocate, who, in vis ting Washington, obtained from the General in that City, the written answers. ? 'Tis to these I refer, and I beg that they may be read,' ? They were read according, and are in keeping with the testimony hitherto furnished by that General. Other unimportant testimony was about being read to elucidate which, General Scott was upon the floor, when the principal door of the chamber was thrown open and in walked Gen. Gaines, in full uniform, wearing the splendid sword presented to him by the Legislature of Virginia, accompanied by two Aids-de-Camp. ? General G., without taking a seat, proceeded to the front of the President, and seizing the first interval of silence, ads dressed the Court ? "I am here, may it please the Court, by the orders of the Secretary of War, and I as that the Judge Advocate may be directed to read the several orders from the War Department on the subject.'*? 1 The Court accordingly instructed the Judge Advo cate to comply with the General's desire, and the Orders, calling the Court to enquire into the failure of the Indian Campaigns in Geor gia and Florida, under the conduct of Major ?Grneral Scott, and the circumstances attend ing the unauthorized publication of official papers by Major General Gaines, were imme diately read. During the reading General G. remained standing, and at its completion, observeed 'Way it please the Court, I have been ordered to appear before you, and I have done so ; and 1 must be allowed lo say that the Court is'proceeding illegally. I am a party to the trial now pending, and demand the right of cross-questioning witnesses, examin ing documentary evidence, &c." The Court objected, and assured Gen. Gaines, that it differed with him in opinion on the subject, and hinted in very delicate terms, the expe diency of his taking a seat, and concluded bv assuring him, that, as soon as the case of Gen. Scott was concluded, every facility in the prosecution of his views should be award ed hitn. General Gaines continued to descant on "the illegality of the proceedings thus far," notwithstanding the assurances of General Macomb, that his language at this time W3s rather inappropriate, and his great desire that the venerable Cl.ief would be seated. "1 come here, Sir," he continued, "not to ask favors, but to demand justice." "Clear the Court," said the President. In a short time we re-entered the chamber, and General Gaines was informed by the Court, through the Judge Advocate, that "the Court had every desire to extend to him at the proper time, the utmost latitude in the furtherance of his enquires; but that at the present time, he would not be permitted to interfere .with the hiisiness of the Court, by the introduction of irrelevant observations, anil that it was hoped further suggestions on the subject would be found unnecessary " The General continued his perpendicular position. Lt. Morris was sworn ? 'Where and in what capacity were you. in April last 1 Ans?At Tampa Bay ? I was commissary of Depot. Ceneral Gaines? "I beg leave, with due deference, to state, Mr. President ? General Macomb ? 'General, I repeat that you cannot be pe.-mitte j to address the Court, until your case is before it.' Geflcra! C.iines? 'I appear before yoo,]?f, ' by orders," ? 1 Gen.

(in a lound voice) "May it please the Court, I wish to be heard for a moment.? I do not desire to retard its operation*, but, I wish to protest formally against the illegally with which it is, and has been conducted.? The nine-first article, Mr. President, 'Ji . Gen. Macomb ? "General Gaines, submit your views to paper, and they will be consider ed and regarded. Do so now or any time af ter the adjournment of the Court this morning will do. Gen, (J.? "No, Sir, I will do so now. Proceding3 were accordingly suspended to enable the "gallant old soldier to embody bis views, at the completion of which he-Commen ced another address to the Court, but was a gain interrupted by Gen. Macomb. o. ? "I wish, Mr. President, to con. vince this Court and the country that the who'e tenor of its proceedings is at war with hiw, usage and reason and ? I^, , Gen .M. ' General, you shall not be longer , tolerated in these gratuitous expressions. The Court will confer? Clear the Court!"? The crowd, with the two Major UeneaMe, repaired to an antechamber, andthere awawj^tl the second result of arbitration. Whilst there* a feeling of profound regret at the unfortunate causes of the estrangement of these two &&+ inent soldiers, irresistibly pervaded us. Champions of Republican Americn, thoSL.to whom the present generation of our coW^ trymen ever look with patriotic exu?tat!on wotB now, without a fault of either, exhib.ted tfr public gaze as gladitors in the political arer.a There they stood on opposite sides of the room encircled by their several friends, a d occa sionly eyeing each other's manly form, with other, I trust, than embittered reflections.?

Where j and what are they now! OCrKnight?, on the j political chess-board of the upper and lower cabinets. On the Te-opening, the Court, through the President, anounced the protest of General Gaines should bs incorporated with the pro per documents. G<-n. Gaines then read his ac queisence in the decision of the President of the United States in relation to Gen. Macomb and after the transaction of unimportant busi n as the Court adjourned until to-morrow a? II A- M- , ? The opinions of the Court, as expressed to Gen Gaines, were delivered by Maj. General Macomb in a language and manner highly ereditable to his Ialents and urbanity. He urged upon his brother officer, to whom he stood in a relation altogether unsolicited, an adherence to a course the expediency and pro priety of which his own judgement must ap prove and one which thefrulesof service abso lutely exacted. \>% S.? General Gaines has publicly expres sed his determination to prosecute the inqui ries now pending to their utmost extent, and bring the actually guilty fairly before the world. In this he will be seconded by the hero of Chippewa. From the Richmond Courier. LETTER OF JOHN RANDOLPH.

(for this dreadful spell of weather has frozen us all up until to davr )?the knife was found in the bot tom of the carriage, where it must have drop oed from a shallow waistcoat pocket, as I got In at your door, for I missed the knife soon afterwards ? When I got home, I had the poc kets of the chariot starched and every thing there taken out? and it was not until John had searched strictly into my portmanteau and bag, taking out every artrcle therein, that I be came perfectly convinced, cf what 1 was be fore inlly persuded, that 1 hsd left the knife in my chamber at your hou.^e,on Tuesday, the 6th: and when I heard it had not been seen, took it for granted that your little ytl'ow boy, having "-found US' had according to the nejrro code of morality, appropriated it tojiimself.? In this, it seems, 1 was mistaken, and 1 ask Uis pardon as the best amende that I can make him ; a~d at t he same time to releive you and Mrs.' M. from the nnplesant feeling tbat such a su.-pecion would occas:on, I despatch this note by a spec al messenger, although I have a certain conveyance to morrow.
