Mr. MIayrk, the able Ch airman of the Investigating Coninitee on Finance tnd Banks, tnovd as a substitute, that it he referrced to a' select joint Committee composed of five for the Senate; and it was so decided; because' the Commlee on Fiuanco and Banks were supposed to be friendly to the Bank. The sequece to these remarkable preliminary m11ove, ments in the two [luuses were equally its pregnant and remarkable. The President of the Senate (a friend of the Bank) con stituted this Committee fairly and in just accordance with parliamentary law and the decisinu of the Senate; he gave three Anti-Bank men to two Rank men; and he distributed thetn so that the four quar -4ers of the State and its centre had, each, a Representative in it. The Speaker of the House of Represen tatives (not a friend of th~Bank i selected five of the seven of hithommittee from its adversaries and onty two from its friends-and instead of their being chosen. so as to represent-all parts al the State, nix or seven were from one side of the State and given to three favotedt Districts. while only one representation was allowed for all the rest-viz: twto members were from Charleston. two frm Abbeville. and two from Pendleton and' one-from Sum tsr. But besides this, one of the Senate Committee was from Charleston Dist.riet and one from Abbeville. Thus, of a Committee of twelve members, selected to examine and report on one of the most important domestic measures ever pro *sentated our Legislature or people. and 'which deeply affected every part of the State, eight nere hostile to the lnstitutiou -lung cherished by the State, which it was proposed to destroy, and only four were its friends; and eight were from three Dis tricts, and four nuly from all the other -tseky Ave -l stiers. Why' so -great a qtestimn should have had a reference so one sided, is flr those who brought it about to explain! The action of this remarkable Commit tee, was equally as remtrkable. From teir first aasembhin to tinal adjturtnent was less thar two hours? The titi ufactual consultation on the measure referred, was scarcely half that, ater deducting what w;as consumed in organizing and settling prelirinary points. readting the Papers and the discussinn of ithe motion made bry Iriends of the Bank to adjora until next day i-i ordet to prnrre infrmta'ion. and espeeiully to get the Report of the Com, mintees appointe to examine the Bank and fBranch-s arI the Annual Report of the President and Directors. The miottin for the time was voted down by S to -; and the Bill was as omse adopted. as it was reortedl to the 5w ion ses .50; a lidI whtch I have high authority hor btelievin2 lio been prepared ii Charleston by one, if not both the Ch;.irnm-t ifthe Joint Con nittees, to carry out the recomendation- of the mnessagte b-fme that me-s tge i;td beer submitted to the Legislature or been made known to the pohlic. It was this-one of the most important oftlomestie questions ever before the Legislature. and sent by it to a select joint Conttnisttre. that all the facts that could aid their jmitmmt on ii should be collected, examined. istised, considered and reported on--domunling from it vast impoirtance,. its comnplexs antd *delicate relations the imsst careful dlelhe ration-was hustled throu::h this Comit-t tee svirt less of actual examninatitin tian would hatve beetn bestoc.:' ni net tof petty incorporation, anud a :1. re ti::kedl, biald bill, readly prepaire.a -- repoirted without a single lacs, reasoant.r argtutmt to show why it shuhilde adlopted.

When the discussion was opetned by~ the.. Chairmac, Mr. Memmsitnger, his tactics were in accoirdattce with this systemi uif pesolve. hlis speech dlisclosed 'scarcely more than the Bill. A-s the Cornmiittee had made no report of their views an'l reasotn for recomsmending this idl. the friends of te Batnk naturally expected they wou!d. in all fairnies-u and candotr. have ben all free'ly and fetlly dlisclosed in shc opetnitg speeebi of the Chiiirmant.

T only legitimate ends te be aimed at. ere, were truth, and the public good; an these, all must see, would have be t far more effectually tirawn out and reramed. if Col. Mem minger, instead. f withholding them for a reply, had fa ored the llouse, in his lpeniug speech, with that long array of igures, charges, peculations and reason ings, which b since teemed in his appeal in the colt ins of the Courier. They could than have een replied to and can vassed; baut -rse d for the rply or lust tpeech, and esp ially those portions in wvhich the char acier and conduct of public servants ( ho could have no voice Lf that floor,) re so freely censured, they would go ril to the world'unan twered. How this was fair and just, [ leave to you to cide. The friends of. he Bank wished far full and free debate and so far as argument and eW iencv e concerned, they felt trey had the b of it--lhat they had aiued' sirength ery hour-th.ey desired is coatinuance v.i or six of their best ;peaketsj had nd yet spoken.

Everything that relates to Andrew Jack. son, the -hero of New Orleans. and the friend of his country, is of deep interest.. t the American people. And abhough the incident we are -about to relate is in itself of tme great interest, it becomes so to us in consequence or those connected with it. At the Nashville Convention of August 1S46. we visited the Hermitage (only twelve miles distant) in company with Judge Dtmiglass. of this State, and some other of our fellowv-citizens The Her., mitage -was crowded with people fro:N almost every State. who had heen invited thither by the -venerable. patriot on th day succeeding the Convention. Governor Clay. of Alabama, was near General Jackson, who was himsel' sitting on the sofa in the hall of his residence, anal as each person entered, Governor Clay introduced him to the hero, as he passed alcag. When Judge I)ouglass-was tuts introduced, General Jackson raised his still brilliant eyes, acid gazed for a nioment in the countenance. of the Judger still re ittining his hand a "Are you' the Mr. Douglass, of Illinois, who delivered a speech lass session, on the subject of the fine 1--- a ,, r..." .t....t.--- - ... .., t ,tn wt tin has ever rehiev. ed my mii on a sutject which has reste-l at in-it ftr thirty yetrs. My enemies al ways charged ine with volating the Cain stitution of my country, by declaring aturtial law at New Orleans nnd ay friends have alvavs aimitted the viola.. tio, but have contended that circunstan ces jtustified ie in tht violation. I never could umtlerstand how it was, that the per formance of a solemn duty in my country -a duty, to w hich if I had neglected. would have made me a traitor in the eight of God and man-could properly be pro. nounced a violation of the Constitution. I felt co'nvinced in -ny own mind that I 'vas not guilty of such a heinous offence; but I could never tmal,e out a legal justi fication of my course; nor has it ever been dtne, sir, until you, an the flour of Can. gress, at the late session, established it beyond the possibility ofcavil or doubt. I thank you, sir, far that speech; it has relieved my mind from the only circtm stance that rested painfully upon it - Throughout my whole life, I never per formed at olicial act which I viewed as a violation ofahe Const'tution of my count ry; and I can now go down to the grave in peace. with the perfect consciousness that I have nait brokten, at any period of mty lile, thte Constitu'ion or laws of mny couti try." 'lThus spoke th3 old hero, hi-s counteatance brightiened by emtntioins which it is iam possible for us to describe. We tarried ta look at Douglass. Hie was speechless. [Je could nott reply, but convaalsively shiak itag thet aged veteran's hand, bae raise and left the raom. Certainly Geat. Jackson couild have bestowed ati anyitdividual. liliuanis State Register. A mntcast EfEui'rtoNa N StAac'ff of Sia Jous~ FRaNwt.-We learn from the WVashingtaon corresapondeart of the lihiladelphia North American. that a hi hiaral atad praise-worthy praoposition haas been sutbm'itted an thet Secretary dfte Navy, thrraough Moses Il. drinnell, Esq., taf New Yaork, to equid and fornoisht two suicabile vessels for the prosecution of the search after S-jr John F'rantklint, upon the coditinu thtat the Government will leadh its countenanice of the noble enterprise, by ;appaointing naval ofIreers to enirtt~ the exploration.

He had neers been ti ere; be ,but- .t - use was comforta e appearance of the people about 'e. Having first attended to e. heiit Iowrito supper wthb .1o0 ad family.

The boat then inqiirre h t business had carried-him to Vieliin He told them he had been there to sell e of the best horses that ever wer~q a nl to that market. When he hea t tite host cast a glance at one of the inet f>the family .who seemed to be tiis son, hich the dealer scarcely. observed henh. h: iich he had reason is recall afterdh When supper was finished. the fait ed travelter requested to be shoit is bed. The host himself took iul a figth aed.cdiducted him across a lit tle vaid the back of the house to a de tache' iding. which contained two rodms, t .rably decent' for a H ungarian hotel. I the inner of these rooms was a hed, a' ere the host left him to himself. As the d er threw iff his j:tket and loo sened Ih& irdle round his waist, where his money: deposited, he.thought he might as *el a whether it was all safe. Ac cordingiy e'drew out an old leather purse that .cont bed his gold, a8d then a tattered parchm .pocket-hook, thet cntained the Austria] nk notes, and finding that both were quit right, he laid them under his bolster, inguished.ihlelighi, and threw himself t the bed, thanking God and the saints tha had carried him thus far homue war: in a fety. He had no misgiving as to the cl icter of the people he had fal len ammti t to hinder his repose. and the poor dell was very soon enjoying a pro. found ani happy sleep. He mi' it have been in this state of bea titude an our or two, when he was dis turbed typt noise like that of an opening window, led hv t sudden rush of cool ed, the his he re or g illtougti. a.. . tst dreadful alpp1rehcustoau, horrible us they were se' sudden, now agt tated the traveller, who, scarcely knowing t hat he did. but utterly despairing of pre servinc his life, threw himself under the bed. lie had scarcely dune so, when the hard breathing of a man was heard at the open wintlow. acd tire next moment a ro bust fellou' dropped into the rooms, and stag. geringacross it, groped his way by the wall to the bed. Fear had almost deprived the horse dealer of his senses, but yet he per ceived that the intruder, whoever he might be, was drunk. There was, hotevet, slight cormfore ir this, for he might only have swallowed wine to make him the more desperate, and the traveller was con. viticed that he had heard the voices of other inca without, who might climb into the room to assist their brother villain in case any resistance should be made. lHis astonishment, however, was great and re viving when he heard the fellow throw ofi hii jacketin the (l.ior, and then toss him sell upon the bed under which he lay. Terror. however, had taken too firm a hold of Vetshechi to he sloken off at once -hi; ideas were too confused to permit his imagiting nay other motive for such a miidighit intrusiou on an uarmed man with prolierty abcut him, save that of a robbery 'And assassinnaion, atid he ley quiet where le was until he heard the fet tew snicrinig with all thie son'or0~0snefs of a drunkard. Tfhen, indeed, hie would have left his hiding place, and gone to rouse the host and people in the inn to get another resting place instead of thne bed of which he had beca dispossessed in so singular a mai e'tig Josras he caine to this reso lution he heard. the door of the outer ron te door of the very room he was in softly pwed, antd two mten, arre of whbom was the host of the inne arrd thtetothet hiwston, appeared' on its ihrshold.-"- Leave. the light'where ii is." whispered the hoest, " or it maly distgrb him anid give tis trouble." ' Ttlere is nct feast uf tat,'' said the youn ger man, also in a whisper-" we are two to one; he has ntothing but a little kife abot.jim-he is dead asteep too; hear owlibnores !" " Do my bidding," said the munsternly; "would you have him wake', atnd rouse the neighborhood with his sreamns " As it) wvas, th fioror stricken dealet uder the bed could scarcely suppress a shriek, but he saw that tha son left the light in Ithe outer roonm, ancd then, pulling the duorpartiailly after them-,- to screen the rays of the lamp frot he bedI, he saw thce t wo nyirrl'erert glhi~e to the bed sirde, atta then beedrd a rustling moetion as of arms descedijbg on the bced clothtes, and a his sing, and then a gratinig socund, that turned his soul qick, for he knew it came from knieo daggers perretratintg to the heart or vitals of a human beicg like tritmsehl en ontly a few itnches atbove his own buody. This waus followed by one sudden and vim lent siart 0.j the bed, accompanied by a moan. Th'len the bed, which- was a low one.

There was an swfil silenee fdr a moment or two, and then the host said : - He is finished I have sdt him across the throat-take the money. I saw him put it under his bolster " " have it-here it is," said the son ; "a fptire and a pocket book." Vetshechi was then reli'eved from the weight which had pressed him almost to suffocation; ani the assassins, who seemed to tremble as they went, ran out .of the rodra, took up the lighit; and di-appeared aftagetriet f0orti the dpartment. Nosooner wete-they fairly gone than the poordealer crawted from under the hed, took one des perate leap, and escaped through the win dow by which he had seen enter the .un fortunate wretch, who (iad evidently been murdered in his stead. He ran with all his 1orril story and miraculous escape to the nirht-watch. The night-watch con ducted him to the burgu-master, who was soon aroused from his sleep, and acquaint ed him with all that had haipenred. to less than half an hour frodt the time of his escape flomt it, the horse-dealer was again at the murderous inn with the magistrate and a strong force of horror-striken inhahi tanfs and the night-watch, who had till run thither in the greatest silence. In the house all seemed s'ill its death ; but as the party went round to the stables they heard a noise; cautiuoing the rest to surround the inn and the outhouses, the magistrate, with the traveller and some half dozen armed men. ran to the stable rIdor; this they opened, arid founid tiithin the host and his son digging a grave. The first figure that met the eyes of the murderers was that of the traVelltt. Itho eflect of this on theit guilty souls was too much to be borne; they sltfiekedj and threw themselves on the ground ; and tlito they were immediately seized by hard griping hands of real flesh and blood, and heard the voices of the magistrate and their friends and neighbors, denouncing them as murderers, it was some minutes ere they could believe that the figure of the travel= ler that stood among thett tas dther than a spirit. It was the hardier villiati, the father, who, on the stranger's voice con tinuing in conversation with the magistrate, first gained sufficient command over him self to raise -'h-. hA saw the stra evidently it spew rountr rising, ho - Let me me touch The p for a ror and dik.a..... in this," said tpe magistrate; "he is un armed and unnerved, and we are here to prevent his doing you harms." On this the traveller let the host approach him, and pass his hand over his person, which, when he had done, the villain exclaimed : am no murderer! Who savy I ant a mar derer ?" - That shall we see anoo," said the traveller, who led the way to the de tached apartment, followed by the magis strate, by the two prisoneft, and all the party which had collected in the stabale on hearing what passed there. Both father and son walkedI with con siderable confidence into the room: but when they saw by the lamps the night watch and others held over it. tatt there was a body covered with blood lying upon the bed, they eried otlt, et How is this who is this!" and rushed together to the bed-side. The lghts were lowered ; their rays fell full upon the ghastly face and bleeding throat of a young man, At the sight, the younger of the murderers turned his head, atnd swooned in silence; but the father, uttering a shriek so loud, so awful, that one of the eternally damned alone might equal its eflf.ct, threw himself on the gashed bloody body, and nutrhturlttg in his throat, " My sont I h lae killed my son !" also found a temporary relief from the htorrors of his siauatioan in itnsensibility.
