The Washington correspondent of tho Cha'rlesto: Courier under date of the 1st inst. says: "The Prcsi dont is most dangerously ill He was attacked 01 Saturday, the 27th ultimo, with peripneumonia, \ common and very fatal disorder in this vicinity. H was attended, at first, by Dr. Miller, his famil; physician. Subsequently, tho aid of Dr. May wa called in. This morning, Dr. Hall and Dr. Wor thixgton' were called into consultation. It is ap prehonded that the General lias not sufficient vigor o constitution at his advanced age, to cany him throng! the second stage of the disorder. To.uorrow wil be a critical period in the disease," We have received the following cnmmunicalior through the Post Office: "Sir, you will oblige an enemy of the fair sex, bj giving the following an insertion in your paper."? (Here follow seven verses of four lines each, signed Jonathan Slapjack, apparently from tho author ol tho lines which appeared some weeks since, com. mencing "Rose of Cumden.") Now, what could have induced this writer to suppose that we should pay the postage of his letter pure, ly for tho sake of obliging an enemy of the fair sex, wo cannot imagine. We can assure him that he has missed the figure this time, for upon no consideration could we be induced to commit so ungal. lant an act. We aro not surprised that the lady has "hiss'd" at his love, as he very poetically expresses it, for we think his signature alone, quito a sufficient reason for producmg such a result. He accuses the "proud damo" of having "trepan'd" his heart, but concludes by a "loud" defiance, that she "can shake" his "heart no more?for it's now free." Reforo ho makes another attempt "to charm" a lady's "ear," "By tolling love's fair pleasing tale," n.-mi 1,1 ndvisn him to nnnlv to tho Legislature for a more euphonious cognomen. And also, though last, not least, whenever ho wishes to enlist an cdi. tor's services in his love affairs, to pay the tostace. Jacob De La Motta has been appointed by the President, Receiver of Public Money at Charleston, in place of Dr. Joscm Johxso.v, resigned. Santee Canal.?Wo observe bj* an advertisement cf the Superintendent, that the injuries done by the recent freshet" to the Canal, liavo all been repaired, and that it was opened for the passage of Boats on Saturday last. Blood-Houxds.?Our readers cannot have forgotten to what abuse the Administration of Mr. Van Buren was subjected by the Whig party, on account of the importation of Blood-hounds into Florida.? As an evidence of the consistency of that party, and as a commentary upon their excessive humanity, wc perceive that Gen. Call, who imported these vory Blood-hounds, has been appointed by General Harrisox, Governor of Florida. '-Oh! consistency, thou art a jewel!" Why did the Banks in North Carolina suspend spccio payments? Can any of our friends in that State solve this question? The Editor of the Ob. server, at Faycttcvillc, says, "tnat an excessive is. sue of notes is among the last reasons which can be properly assigned for the suspension in this State." He goes on to say also, that "our Banks did not sus. pend for want of specie." Well, if they had not issued too much paper, and if it was not for want oi specie, we should be pleased to learn what could have created the necessity. Wo can conceive nr other reasons which would render such a course nc ccssary. FeTER Robinson, charged with tho murder of Mr Scydam, at New Brunswick, in tho State of Nev Jersey, has been convicted, and sentenced to be ex ccutcd on the I6*h instant.

The Journal says that tl delay in the publication of the letteraro from the fact that it went on to Washin ton, probably io the pared from the : 5j mcrican Minister at London, ft was posf-: j marked "Washington, March 23d." ___' Per Halifax Steamer, March 4. Paris. Feb. 14th, 1841. - ! To the Editors of the Journal of Commerce: - Gentlemen: As the Commissioners of ,r- Loans of the Republic of Texas were in|>? structed, by his excellency President Lata mar, in the event of their effecting a neI gotiation of the loan for that republic, to >1-, make a public announcement of the fact, that meritorious holders of the securities I of Government, who may have aided the I country in the houf of its necessity, may is not be the victims of the speculation of i d those acting under secret information, I < will thank yon to state in your paper, or. i if this communication should arrive after j ), it had gone to press, in a slip to be imme- i diately issued from your office, that I have this day concluded, in this city, a contract with the Bank of Messrs. J. Lafitte & Co. s n for the Texan Loan. j i-j I forward a duplicate of tins letter per f n the Havre packet of the 16th, and shall i enclose this to the Texan Consul at New i c York, per the American Minister's letter y bag from London. b I remain, very respectfully, your obe.'dient servant, J.HAMILTON, i.J P. S. I have taken means as far as ? f practicable, of extending this information lij south of New York. 1 1 Indian Emigration.?The Steamer J James Adams, in the Government service, I i arrived at this port on Monday afternoon, e having on board one hundred and five In dians, emigrating to Arkansas. Major . Bellnap, who has been charged with the I duty cf transporting these Indians to their I fi new home, was on board, accompanied by E . Lieut. Sprague, Mr. Capers, Disbursing Airent, Dr. Randall, and Mr. Cloud of the E , Paymaster's Department. E The party of Indians on board the E Adams was marie up of fragments of riif E ferent tribes, Tallahassees, Micknsukies, C Scminoles, 6cc. Among them were thirty C warriors, the remainder were women and C children. The Spanish Indians captured F by Col. Harney, were also on board. F From a conversation had with the ofli- F cer, we learned that a Brig had sailed from I] Tampa, having on board one hundred and ten, embracing Echo Emathla, the Chief Ir of the Tallahassee?, with ninety of his L people, and also that one hnndrcd and L fifty were in with Gen. Armistead at the L time the Adams depnrted. The aspect of o affairs in the East is favorable to a close of the war. Wild Cat had gone in to jyj Col. Worth, at Fort Cnmmings, also, Cos- s n-tus-ta-nug-gee, one of the most war-like c chiefs, who promised to go out and bring ^ in all of his party. The Tallahassers were all in except f Tiger-tail, and a little party headed by him comprising only about forty, among whom were but eighteen warriors. Tiger C tail had been frequently in at Tampa of late, and said he was tired of fighting and wanted "to be friends with the while 1 folks."?Florida journal. w From LitlelVs Publishers' Circulate t( NEWSPAPERS.

C.?Wc , have been favored with the sight of a Report submitted by a Committee, to the Stockholders of the South Carolina Manufacturing Company, which is engaged in " the manufacture of Iron, in Snartanbunrh "7 ~ ? ? ~ i p l District. This Company, the Report in> forms us, took possession of its works, then in a very incomplete state, in November 1834. From that time to November 1835, the Stockholders paid in $30,000; and since then they have not l' paid in another dollar, except from the j profits of the works. They are engaged | * actively in making iron of all sorts, castings and nails. They had been in opera- | ' lion, from Nov. 1834, to Jan. 1841, six !* years and two months, and in that time, i ( '* under their energetic and skilful manager,! i '* Mr. William Clark, they have paid, up, j %s from the profits of the business, 870,000 d i towards" their capital, making it now a! 8100,000 paid in.

The operations of the present year, we understand, promise equally well. Mr. Clark may be said to be the foun0. der of new branch of industry amongst a. us. He has, by extraordinary preser10 vance, and devotion to business, joined with very accurate knowledge of all the operations connected with it, succeeded beyond any other person amongst us, in N developing sources of wealth, as valuable ^ to the public, as they have proved remul0 nerating to those associated with him.? ,f We are gratified to learn that he has lates. ly become largely interested in the Nesbitt in Iron.Works,situated at the head of navigaic tion on the Broad River, of which he has se the management, and where his sphere of g- operations will be greatly enlarged. Even- one must feel pleasure in the V succ'css of undertakings so intimately coi nected with the welfare of the co'antr; In peace, we can procure our supplies i iron elsewhere, by sending our mone abroad for them, which it is better w should retain at home, to reward otrrow industry in its fair competition; but it is i time of war that we snail realise the in mense value of these works. Iron entei into every business of life?ministers t every art and employment. It is nece'sst ry to peaceful industry, as it is indispensi b'le for our defence.
