000,000 of U. S. stock to be divided among the

on tho report of the Committee of Ways and
Means adverse to this project, which has brought
up the repudiation act of Mississippi. Mr. Adams
introduced this topic, and was replied to by Mr.
Gwinn of Mississippi, who was unswered and v.-cll
handled by Mr. Granger. No better proof of the
awindling character of tho transaction need be
wished than is furnished by the facta of Mr.
Gwinn himself. The appropriation bill is also
before tho House.
The House on the 15th, passed a bill, changing
the compensation of members. It provides that

from $8 to $6 per day for the additional time, and
$5 after seven months.
The President has sent to the House estimates
from tho Secretary of tho Treasury, uccording to
which tho receipts into the Treasury will somewhat
exceed the expenses. But lest there should
prove to be some error in the estimates, tho Prosident
earnestly recommends additional provision
to be mado for meeting the expenses.

for the sale of the establishment, or for the cin
ployment of un able editor to conduct it.

The Columbia Chronicle expresses the opinion ,
that although Mr. Calhoun can heat Mr. Van Huron

round numbers, one million two hundrod thousand
dollars; that there is due for salaries, interest and
other ordinary expenses, about two hundred thousand
dollars; that there arc state bonds, for the
payment of which the state has no guarantee, to
the amount of one million two hundred and seven,
ty-threc thousand dollars, on most of which bonds
interest is due und unpaid ; that there arc state
hnnds to n larrre nmtuinl fur u'tiii'h Hie stale lias

Dank and Consolidated Association of Planters
now in liquidation, on which tiie interest will
probably not bo paid ; that the ordinary expenses
of tho government exceed and have for several
yours exceeded its ordinary income by more than
two hundred thousand dollars ; that there is nothing
in our exhausted treasury; that the state can
no longer borrow a dollar from her own banks, and
that the people arc taxed as heavily as they can
bear. This is indeed a deplorable situation of our
Affairs."

OPINION OK TUB COURT OK INQUIRY IN
THE CASE OP THE SOMKR8.
The Washington correspondent of a morning
paper, has obtained a copy of tho opinion of the
Court of Inquiry, in the case of the Somen* mutiny,
which we subjoin. It is a full and explicit ucquittal
of Commander Mackenzie,?an ample justification,
by the Court, of the course which that
oHiecr found it necessary to pursue in the painful
circumstances in which he was placed. Nor does
tho opinion stop here. A high and just encomium
is passed upon Commander Mackenzie, both for
his humanity and his bravery. The good conduct
of his officers is also warmly commended. In all
these respects we believe the opinion of the Court
accords with sound and intelligent public scntimcnt:
U. S. Ship Nortii Carolina, ^
January 20th, 18-13. S
Present,
Commodore Charles Stewart,
Commodore Jacob Jones,
Commodore Alexander J. Dallas,
Ogden Hoffman, Judge Advocate.
The Court, after due deliberation, resolve to report
tho facts and circumstances of the ease submitted
to them, and to deliver their opinion upon
the facta, as follows :
In execution of the order of the honorablo Seere
tCjr of the Navy, the Court, with the exception
of Um *f the draw, who arc in confinement, exam,
incd every officer, teaman, and apprentice, belonging
to the U- S. brig Somcrs, in her late cruise,
und unanimously report the following facts as
proved to tbe eatisfaction of the Court by the testimony,
the reaord of which they have the honor
herewith to submit.
That on the 27th November, 1842, in lat. 13 24
Jfi, ari^ long. 41 24 45, Commander Muckcnzio
discovered that a mutiny had been organized on
board the brig Somcrs.
The Court further finds that such a mutiny did
exist, and that midshipma;} Philip Spencer, boatswain's
mute Samuel Cromwell, and seaman
Elisha Small wc^e ringleaders in it, and that o'hers
of the crew ba<|.> knowledge of its existence and
pnrticiputediprits guilt. I
1 hat oojClio 27th November, midshipman Spea- ,
ccr watnojewud and confined in irons, that on the
subsequent day boatswain's mate Cromwell und \
soaman fjfmaU were also confined in irons, and at
the timwtiiey were so confined, it was the intention '
?f f^lmniandor Mackenzie to bring them to the 1
UoRed States to be tried by (lie laws of their country,
and that to client this desired object, Coinmander
Mackenzie adopted every measure that a
brave, prudent, and skilful officer could adopt.?
That during the confinement of the prisoners, silllenncss,
discontent, inattention to duty, disobodi. '
cncc to orders, often ns seamen know nnrl numl
records prove, the sole precursors to open acts of
violence and blood, were manifested by the crew, |
and justly excited the belief in the commander and
officers, that an attempt would bo made to rescue
the prisoners and take the brig from those to whom
she had hcen entrusted by the Government.
The Court farther find, that there was no place
on board the brig which would have given greater
assurance of protecting the prisoners from a res.
cue, than the quarter deck, on which the prisoners
were confined.
That Commander Mackenzie, in the responsible
situation in which he was placed, sought, as it
was his duty to do, the advice and counsel of his
officers, and that the unanimous advice and opinion
of those officers, after an examination of some
of the crew, and careful deliberation, was that the
safety of the brig Somcrs depended upon the im- ]
mediate execution of midshipman Spencer, boatswain's
mate Cromwell and senrnen Small.
That Commander Mackenzie, in pursuance of
the advice of his officers, and in obedience to the
dictatcsof his own judgment, did execute, by hanging,
midshipman Spencer, boatswain's mate Cromwell
and seaman Small.
That such execution took place on the 1st December,
1812, in latitude 17 dcg. 31m. 28s., and
longitude 41 deg. 21m. 45s., and that the brig ut
the time of the execution was, by log, distant from
St. Thomas 525 1-2 miles, at which place she arrived
outho 5th December, 1842.
The Court farther find that the conduct of Commander
Mackenzie had been kind to his crew, attentivc
to their wants and their comforts, that he
: was studious to promote the knowledge of their
j profession, and that no punishments were inflicted
1 greater than were rendered necessary hy the discordant
nature of the crew, and the proper disci|
plinc of a man-of-war.
j The Court farther find that the conduct of Com:
mander Mackenzie, Lieutenant Ganscvoort nnd
I the officers of the brig, was, during the trying
i scenes through which they passed, collected, calm
and brave, and justified the confidence reposed in
them by their country.
OPINION.
The Court arc therefore of opinion :
That a mutiny had been organized on hoard the
United States brig Soiners, to murder the officers
j and take possession of the brig.
That midshipman Philip Spencer, l>oatswain's
mate Samuel Cromwell, and seaman Elisha Small,
were, concerned in and guilty ofsueh mutiny.
That had not the execution taken place, an atj
tempt would have taken place to release the prison,
j era, murder the officers, and take command of the
/ brig.
That such an attempt, had it been made in the
night, or during a squall, would, in the judgment
of the Court, from the number and character of the
crew, the small size of the brig, and the daily dc.
creasing physical strength of the officers, oeea
BimiLd i>y itiuiosi constant tvaiciiing anil DroKcn
slumbers, have been successful.
That Commander Mackenzie, under these e.ir.
cmnstanccB, was not bound to rixit the safety of
his vessel, and jeopard the lives of the young oflieers,
and the loyal of his crew, in order to secure
to the guilty the forms of trial, and that the inlinediutc
execution of the prisoners was demanded by
i duty and justified by necessity.
1 The Court aro farther of opinion that tlirough
out all these painful occurrences, so well calculated
I to disturb the judgment and try tho energy of the
bravest and most experienced officer, the conduct
of Commander Mackcnzio and his officers was
prudent, calm and firm, and that he and they lionorably
performed their duty to the service and their
country.

a notice of the proceedings of the N. Y. Legists
ture with the following paragraph :
" Finally we perceive that a joint resolutioi

limits of Washington whether they are paid o
not; as to which wo can only wonder how thi

ter serving pi* sessions. lie says, in a letter to hii
constitucTits?
" I havo never made a speech in Congress. Il
is known to you that all my lifo has been chiefly
devoted to my profession, and to many of you
that in early life I had no taste for politics, and
, of course, never had more than a common-place
I knowledge of pnbl:e affairs, such as every mar
who loves his country should acquire ; and I knew
I had not a sufficient fund of information, nor n

Besides, when I came into Congress, there

rucnt debaters, but the dem^pd for good listeners
was great, nnd the supply ; and being ambitious
of disti.."tion, and having the vanity to believe
myself tolerably well qualified for this arm
of the public service, I conciu^-d to join this small
but silent corps of hearers, ana tJ''k my st'.tf nccordingly
among the silent and hearing members,
in that pirt ol the hull since called * Sleepy Hollow.'
"
M vrdkr.?We learn from undoubted authority
that Mr. Lea, a hog drover from Kentucky, was
shockingly murdered 0:1 his return home, a few
days ago, in the mountain region of Virginia, by
two men who travelled with him the principal part
of the day on which he was murdered. It seems
that lie was shot by a pistol in the hack part of
his head while passing through a lonesome region
country; lie fell from his horse instantly gasping
for breath. The robbers thereupon rilled him of
his pocket* book, and were in the net of riding off
when they were suddenly brounht to a stand bv
the appearance of two mountaineers, who happened
to be c-.loso by, hunting game in the woods.
It appears that the two hunters had not separated
long in the forest heforc they heard tlie report of
! the pistol, and each taking it for granted that the
other had shot at something, they both ran to see
what had been shot; but fortunately bounded into
the road about the same time, one a little above
and the other a little below the robbers. Seeing
the sight described, they quickly sprang the triggers
of their rides and bid the murderers stand or
die. On approaching Lea they found him in the
last agonies of death ; but he was able to tell who
l shot him, and who robbed him ; lie also told the
hunters that the robbers hud missed his money,
which was concealed in his coat collar; and a few
moments after this he expired. The hunters then
imarchcd the robbers to tho village jail.?Milton
Chronicle.
TUB FLYING MACHINE.
I A Mr. MeDermott, in Louisiana, writes to the
I New Orleans Tropic the following description o(
l a flying machine of his invention. He acknowl.
i cigcs that he finds it difiicult to " embody" tliis
" conception of the mind.'*
J " I have a kite one hundred and ten feet in
, lencrth, twenty feet broad, and tapering to each end
like the wings of the fish-hawk. Under the centre
jr... . . .
of the kite I have a frame eighteen feet high, in
winch I stand. Under the kite arc four wings,
j which operate horizontally, like the oars of a boat.
, The blades of the oars arc each twenty square
feet in surface. They are moved by the muscles
of the legs. The blades of the ours arc made of a
series of valves, resembling Venetian blinds, so

when the stroke is made. The wood purt is of
canes, the braces of wire?the kite of cotton cloth,
lie tuil of the same material. The kite has an
angle of ten degrees to the horizon."
A man in New Orleans has invented another,
j which he thus describes:
" A hollow machine, ulioiit twenty feet long, is
made precisely in the shape of the body of a bird,
i and inside this will stand or sit the serial navigator
when he makes his experiment?by light and
simple machinery working a piir of wing?
! modelled precisely after those of a bird."
A BRAVE DAUGHTER.
In the Memoirs of the Duchess of St. Albant

in Argyle's rebellion against James II. was taken
