Since our last, we lave received die remarks
of Mr. Calhoun on the engrossmnent of-AMr
Wright's bill, as amended by striking out the
specie scetion. It is short, but uncommnionly u.
ble $amd comprehensive. We will give it in our
next.
Some few of the presses'unriendly to Air.
Callioun, have umide his vote oi this occasini
another pretext for the cry of inconsistency.
They stay, to have been consistent, lie should
have voted for it. We don't understand this lo
gic. Certainly lie would have been faiir gime
if he had voted for it. anfer the only section
which separated de Government and the biiks
was stricken out. IIounever, 'tis no use to talk
to such people.
A late numer of the Riclunond Whig fairly
expresses, we think, the sentimnents of a large
miajority of the people, in the following coin
Iment:
"THE Sun-TmE.tsURv Bir.r., As AMtiir..
Ir. Cualhoumi's S peech n the amemded Sub
Treasury Bill as it passe elie Senate, will attract
uttention. It is at clear exposition of imnswer
able objections to the Wretced iabortion of the
partv. It exhibits the absurdity aid hilly oftes
tablishing safemvaults, Receivers Generil, SRI
Treasurers, &c. to keep baik notes, and it dis
plays, in a strong point of view, the inercase of
jower and mtromage wic-h hilie bill cmoifirt upon
thte Executive, by enabling him to control he
banks. As relresetmted by him, and we believe
truly, the syistem proposed by the bill, is more
corrupting, and in every aspect in which it imay
be regarded, more objectionable, than the elphl
ded elt Scheme. Ti pariieille of divorce, time
only feature of tie original bill whic ha md miny
elnnmi to merit, is rejected, and a gigantic tuau
chinory of corruption substituted in its place."
"We think sone of omr Whig cotemporaries
alive been illiberal in their comments on Ailr.
Calhoun in respect to his vote against- the Sub-.
- Treasury bill in& its presentsimpe. Ilis conduct
on that occasion, as far na we have before ob
served, proved that lie acted from principle, and
not from party; and reginiring as it (lid a high de
gree' of moral courage, deserved any thing rath
er than censure. The course of the party made
him realize his anticipation, that there were imen
'in whose wisdom, firmness and patriotism lie
hnd no reAson to confide,'amid, as soon as ie dis
covered 'that, lie abandoned themi and stood
alone."
'The Wilgna pamed. mibeare to us to be the

To the Editor of the Edgefield Adeertiser :

caion to you in no light mianner, but unader a
uhorough conviction that a crisis, deep wvith thme
A fate of these States, is rapidly approachimig, and,
m the language of Holy Writ, is 'eveni at dhe
'-dror.' Your extenisive reading amid close per
sonal observattionis have long taught yomu, that all
tihe revolutionsof man, as wvell its time consionsI~i
of natuire, have becn precedled by signis, oflen~
smuall and disregarded in time beginmning, lbut in.
eenasing in magnitude iand attenitioni as thecy ap.
proachthde conmsummam~tion ofthecir destiny. When'm
asolitary andl obscuira fanatic (Peter) first preach
'.d thie necessity of a destrmuctive ernismuhe agaiinst
hMloly Land, who could have imamginmed fron
ch a begmnmmg, thiat amuch a wvarwotiiuld havme.
mouedml And whom Wilbserforce (if I mistake not1
4e others fir-st proclaimed thme doctrine of emnm.
epation in England, that it would havme b'eeni o

w'hemi the simll timd feeble inotie ofdisconmtent wit

of theo pa-emit counmtry, thiat it woumld so soon
- pgeW into r-evoltution and inidedenh ce. Avud
lastig to come down to our own times aui4 ob.
servatinus, that when' the first tnriff ITor 'tection
Wal laid by Congress, to the dissatli1ieut)st)of
tIhe Shuth, it would end in uulllfieatios andrik
ofeivil war.
Now, sir, these fnatics boast efbeing 300,000
strong, and that within about fonr qr five years
from their commencement; and Mr. Adamis,
contenpltible as we know he insist be is every
portion of the country, can cOsmnissand the peti
tions of thirty or forty thinsand of these delud
ed crusaders; and! Mr. Clay, himself a slave
holder, in his eager purisuit of the Presidency,
cower beneath their strength, gives theis a side
bow in his assault on Mr. Calhoun, aid in some
of hiis own suistitute resolutios, evidently in
tended to secure their patronage. If then, in
so short a timie, they Irave attained such power
und influence, what may we expect front their
ine'rensed numbers in a-few years more I Sir,
the people of tIse slave States must stand upon,
their iglhts. Who but a ind mazna e-nn doubt
that a dissolution of the Union must be tie con
sequence, or we must submit to a state of things
far more intolerable than slavery itself, unless
God in his mercy averts the blow by a dispen
sation of his providence, little short of an an
cient mairacle ? It has been but a few years since
Garrison, Tappan, and a few others, commene
ed this unholv crusade agaisit our rights and
institutions. Their petitions were' few and fee
be, with not as zany signers as they have at
this time distinct societies ; but now they have
assimced a bold and daring front,and will case
by States. Vermont has already marshaled her
firces and assailed the federal smetropolis, aid
in a few years more, these finatics will control
tme political destitny of this country. No wan
to tihe North of. 3ason's and Dickson's line enn
have a sent on the floor of Congrees, but as the
champion and defender of abolition; and a Pre.
sident of the U. States must nscend that high
and dignified station cinder a corrit pledge to
do their bidding. A nd onl the! principle of con.
solidation, tle constitution will be in their hands
like the spider's web to the horned oxen. Tihe
nmnn- who expects mercy frot fanaties, will
iost assuredly be disa ppoi nted-thle imassacre
of time imputed Witches at Ithe North, eand the
Smsithstield artyrs, cantt esi tihe fac. Sir, we
must rely upon our own strength, and I again
reiterate that a sepniration of these States ap
peare inevitable, and nso man will regret the
dreadful necessity iore than the writer of this
article.
More tsan twoyears ngo I gave my views to
the public, recommending a Conzveiitionu, ins
which all theslave States should be represent
ed. I have since seen nothing to weaken that
opinion, but much to strengthen it, and to%% hies
the slave States must ultimately come. The
obje< t of uition is, in all cases, to bensefit tle
parties united; but whenever it becomtes a curse,
it his not only failed in its object, but ias a mas.
elievocus tendency, and therefore ought to be
abolished. I a aware of the disadvantages
of a separation, but I am in this emergency, as
in every other, for emsbracinsg the less and a;
voiding the greater evil. -Could we enjoy in
penee the rights secured to us by the Constitu
tion, I for ose would say, "Union forever."
llt, sir, it w'll be a dear and bitter union to us,
iftke only conditioni on whies we shall be per
witted to enjoy it,is the loss of our most valna
ble property, -nud this propetty turned loose
among tie, like so many hingry wolves to de
votr our remaining substance, and filled with
all the malice which could possibly grow
out of their pnst condition. I have said that a
sLeparation of these States appenrs inevitable.
I will nowy give yot the grounds on whicl
that opsinions is formted. First, thze abolitions

Real Estate.--The value of real estate
continues to enhance in our city, and rent
are still on, the rise-and the prospects ol

That' I Lts, on East Bay street, op.
pomie the Battery, but a short time since a
lmud pond, and a nuisance to that vicinity,
sold ydsterday by Eliott & Condy, Aue
tioneers, brought the followinet prices
Lot No. 1, $5.750 -, lot 1Jo. 2, ,0Q5;
lot No. 3, $5,100; lot No 4,83,650; lot~No.

100; lot No. 8, $5,100; lot No. 9, 4,600.
Total, $44,250.
A portion of the above lots, purchased
snme 18 months ago, of the estate of
Wightnan, by tihe City, 'for $16,000, has
now realized $24,550, a profit of 9,550 on
the purchase.
The noble block of new brick stores, in
Pearl street, opposite the new Hotel, are all
or nearly all rented to wholesale mercants
at $1,500 to $2,000 rent per annum. Otte
of the stores, we understand, has been sold,
by the enterprizing proprietors for 822,000
'I he stores in the basement story of the Ho
tel, on Pearl-street, are, we learn, to be oc
cupied by retailers.
APALACILCOLA, March 19.
Sale of Lots.-The third sale of Lots by
the Apalachicola Ltand Company was held
during the last week. The result has veri
licd our predictiou that "there would be no
depreciation in the value of Lots." Not
withstanding the general embarrassment of
the country, the great pressure of the money
market, yet the prices of 1836 and '37 have
been sustained. In the improved parts of
the city, and on streets which have been
graded, lots sold for nearly double what
contiguous lots were purchased for last year
And generally in the neighborhood of im
provements, a iery considerable advance
has been experienced, while remote lots
have fully held their own.
The amount of sales has been $42,615,
00, mostly dwelling lots, attd to persons
contemplating early improvements, but few
business lots were offered.
Among the improvements soon to be
commenced, is an Episcopal Church. The
funds for a beautiful edifice have already
been raised. A lot also for a Roman Cath
olic Church has been purchased, and at
rangements are making for erecting a suit
able building. Measures have also been
taken for the erection of a Baptist Church.
A lot was aipropriated two years ago for a
Presbyterian Church, and measures are in
progress to advnnce the interests of that do
nomination.
' Applications, we understand, for plats of
ground suitable for extensive mechanical
works, such as ship yards, foundriese:&c.
have been made. and from !he known dis
position of the Land Campany to accom
modate these valuable branches of indus
try, we hope and believe they will be estab
lished.
The sales were adjourned after the second
day.

been informed that Messrs. Rolterts, Allen
& Co. iave purchased in thle neighbour
hood of their present location, and intend
to establish an fros Foundry.

Mutiny.-We are informed by an officer
of the service, lthat a serious mutniy occurred
two or three days since at the Naval Asy.
lutm on the Schuylkill, in which the pen
sioners were engaged against the officers of
the establishment, who were locked in close
confinement by their assailants. The com

by the prisoners to comtmunicate news 01

We give below time official account of at
outrage on our flag, which calls for tn
promptest and severest retribution. Whik
the steamer Columbia. Capt. Wright, wan
on her Way hither from Velasco, with It
"stripes and stars" flying at her mast head,
she was intercepted by two Mexicaii ships ol
,war, who fired upon her repentedly, and, hui
for the decided conduct of Uipt. Wright,
would have compelled her to stop, if not
submit. Before we give the official account,
we will state some information we have from
a well informed and intelligent friond, wh
was on board the Columbia. Sonic six
,veeks ago, a schooner put into Galveston
island apparently in distress. She had a
large number of passengers, prienipally Mex
scans ,and Spamaiirds, who were permitted
to visit the naval station at the Island.
Some of these parties, it is pretty well
known, communicated the particulars to tie
Mexican Government; and there is a moral
conviction arising from the flacts already
known. and from the very large number of
men on board the two attacking ves-sels. that
it is the intention to land a force on the
asland, and burn up the Navy Yard and
other establishments there. The brig spo
ken of in the annexed report, was the new
sloop of war, "Igula," said to be one of the
fiest vessels that ever sailed out of Balti
more. She was commanded by Commo
dore Lopez, carried from M2 to 36 gns, and
is believed to have had over 200 men on
board. The other vessel was the 'Iturbide,'
commnauded by a renegade American nasmed
Davis; and though carrying only 18 guns,
had on board an immense number of men,
supposed . to be troops intended for the de
scent on Galveston. Atlie time the Colum
bia stopped her engme, she had on a heavy
head of steam, with all her hose manned for
the purpose of using the boiling water for
defence or attack, and could easily have run
down the " Igunla:" which Capt. Wright
was strongly disposed to do, but hesitated
from the recommendation of sonic of his
officers. hlis conduact tlroughioutis spoken
of by all as worthy of every recomnmenda
tion and while we re-echo the call on our
naval commnanders in the Gulf to do prompt
justice for the insult oifered our flag, we pre
sent the name of Capt. Wright to outr citi
zeis as one deserving their warmest estecum.

TIE CANADAS.
We received yesterday morning sme
futher papers from both Provinces. They
eoutain nothing of a public character of in
terest. The 'Tronto Patriot, after detailing
the names of the members of the coutrt
mamtial convened for the trial of Souther
land, which we' have already published
goes on to say:
He is tried by the provisions of an act
of our Provincial Legislature, passed dur
ring the recent session, entitled, "an act to
protect the inhabitants of this Province
against lawless aggressors from the sit
jects of foreign countries at peamcc with her'
Majesty."
We attended the opening of the pro
ceedings, & it appeared to us thnt althou;,h
the general deportment of the prisoner was
calm and possessed lie seemed taken a littl
abak when he fouid by what law he
waro be tried. However, lie bore ip up
oAt' whole, vory well; and with ihit
degree of vulgarity and insolence we ex
pectmd from him. Ile stated his profes
sion to be that of a lawyer, and at the same
time, that lie knew little of military law on
such occasions. lie was anxions to know
whether the officers who tried him were of
the regular army or of the militia, aid
whether they were residents of this country.
We thought we could perceive a slight
beam of satisfaction pass over his sallow
compexinni whmen informed they wvere all
militia oflicers. Whiatever may be his finite,
lhe can have ino cause of complaint of thec
muannier in whichm lie is treated amid thme leni
ency that is shtown him. lie is allowed
time benefit of coumicil, so fa r as consmultationa
goes, but not to plead for lhim. A copy~ of
the charges, and also a copy of the A etiup.
on wvhiieh lie is tried, has beeni furnmished to
him : and lie is allowved the use of pen amid
ink. Tme Court adjournmed unitil1l0o'clock
