41 -. -'.-V- ' ;, . .Correspondence of the Charletton Merewy. < Washington, Aunust 6. 1841. In Senate tiiis morning, upon the read- < ing of,the.journal it was discovered lo bp | nut exactly u "faithful record" of the prt)- 1 cecdings on the point of order yesterday, j and on Mr. Calhoun's motion it was amend- ' ed. The cause'for the discrepancy be- | ri/.iQ nnd the reenfd was sooii iwcru nib iiiviw mVde apparent.; On yesterday, as I stat- i ed Mr. Benton presented a paper contain ing lift? proceedings of a meeting in relation to the measures of the extra session, which*Jic moved to have printed. Mr. Clay moved to lay the motion to print on the taBTe; vvhiclV was carried. On Mr. Benton i ihtfn proceeding to address the Senate on the subject of the paper, he was called to order by Mir? Clay, at whose instance the Chair decidfetF that laying a motion to print on the table, also laid the subject ttf* table. - Mr. Calhoun appeal ed from this decision, and ivas going to . discuss ihc point1 of; order, when Mr. Clay called him to order. Mr. Calhoun asked , Jiifft t'o"?rnie"his"p(TttTt of (?rder. Mr. Clay with much urrogartcd insisted on his (ak- I ing his seat, and requested the Chair to call him to order on the ground that an appeal on a'point of order was not debatable. Mr. Calhoun very composedly kept the floor, and asked for the decision of the-.Chair on the point of order- TIip '*? Chair very promptly decided it in favor of Mr Calhoun, who then went on at "some length to discuss the point of order, until the .expiration of the morning hour.? ; \ . This morning after the journal was read, the Chair said that the question before the ~ Senate was the second point of order! made by Mr. Clay on Mr. Calhoun, wnen . in fact, he had yesterday decided that question. He was reminded by several Senators of the fact, but he chose to be so obtuse in recollection, as to make it apparent that he had been tampered with during last evening, and that the falsification of the journal was only a part of the i scheme to reverse his decision. He had no recollection, therefore of having deci . tied the question yesterday, and gave a directly contrary decision to-day, viz: than an appeal on a point of order is not a privileged question, and is subject to a molion to lay it on the table, which must be ^ decided without dpbate. Mr. Calhoun then appealed from that decision, and in i a burst of indignant eloquence exposed i the insidious attempt by this collateral I movement to introduce the gag law into i Senate. The morning hour having ex- < jtired, the debate was interrupted, and the ( innl; nr? the Naval Pension hill, j and al! attempts at repealing the law of 1837 having failed. Mr. Calhoun moved i "v . an amendment that no new names should be put on tbe Pension roll under the act \ of 183G. This was <voted down by .the i casting vote of .Mr. Southard. Mr. Man. 1 the instance of Mr. Preston, sat down and voted against it. A limitation of the law < to the end of the next session of Congress i was then proposed by Mr. Buchanan < . which was carried against the earnest re- i monstrances of Mr. Huntington, Mr. Oh oat i and some others, who there is much res- i son to suspect have a deep interest in the I perpetuation of the abuses of the law of ? 1837. The bill was then passed. The ? bill for the Distribution of the proceeds f ?>f the Public Lands was then tuken up, I and Mr. Smith nt Indiana addressed the I Senate at great length in favor of the bill. I The Senate then went into executive sessionjnnd in about two 1 units after, adjourn- t cd. I learn there was an attempt to con- t t firm n nomination of an Abolitionist, {nod t have reason to suppose it was Mr. Everett.,') ii but finding it too hazardous to put to the i ,vote, it was hung upon jhe same peg as I those of Beta Badger, renrose and stunt '1 'v others.^ " i In the House the Bank hill was pnss^d I ?ayes .129, nays 97. Every amendment i was promptly voted down, in pursuance I of a previous decision in caucus, and the bill was passed precisely in the shape it I came from the Senate. \Vashinoto.v, Aug. 6, 1841. : The Bank Bill is passed by a vote of f2S to 97, .exactly in the shape in came J from the Senate. A motion in Commit- 1 tee, was/made by Mr- Adams, to strike out thfi compromise section introduced by Mr. <3lay in the. Senate?some five or six Whigs phly voted with him, and some fort)rt)eniocrats. The truth is, the Whigs xSere'afraftr to send the bill back again to v the Senate by adding any amendment to it '? for tfeafcU should then fail; and the Demo-1 erat|HMn'4rqual)y averse to any amendmentV?^jpffiinff the bill to go to the executive; <md not be stopped in the Senate. SO both sides were gratified in the Bill passingVsactly as it came from the Senate.. , AH-npw look to the veto. Tlie Whigs ^ fear it, bui.do not believe that Tyler has nerve enough to exercise it. The Democrats expect it, but have also their fears of the President's firmness. The Virginians who are in his confidence, have no doulit of the Bill being vetoed. 1 have no doubt myself, the veto will be put, and that the dissolution of the Whig Party is ^ at hand-r-a week will tell. WASHINGTON, August 7, 1841. The Senate were.occupied during near- l ly the whole of to day Vsitting.in discus- < 6ing the appeal taken by Mr. Calhoun fro'O the decison of the Chair. Notwithstanding the zealous efforts of Mr, Clay to sustain the decision, which, no doubt, was rlfade at his bidding, for the purpose of introducing the gag into the Senate, it "v "2 *J. . / -'V;' - - v & 3p9&ypi vm so palpably erroneous that but nine Senators liavl the hardihood to record heir names in its favor. The vote on the ]tiesiion "shall the decision of the Chair ?e sustained?" was ayes 9, noes 30?eight jf the Whigs voting in the negative, while Mr. Preston and some others "dodged." rite question was then taken on the appeal from the decission of the Chair, by Mr. Benton, and after the decision was materially modified, it was sustained by ? party vote. The Senate then adjourned. In the House a motion was made t? take up the bill for the repeal of the Indeoendent Treasury. This was refected? nyes 82, noes 89. The Bankrupt bill was liien taken up and read through, when t motion was made to lay it aside and tak? up the Repeal bill, this and two "or Lhrei others of a similar tendency were defeat ed, when a motion was made for the Com miltee to rise, which was carried. A mo ion was then made to discharge the Com mittee of the Whole from the further con sideraiion of the Repeal hill, and this wa< carried?ayes 103, noes 102. Several ques tions of order were made, hut were prom pt ly overruled by the Chair, and the bil was brought into the Honse. By 1Kb lime however, the Senate had adjourned and ft was found that the purpose- of al this "hot and indecent haste," could no be accomplished. This was to s'ehd tin Bank bill ttgd the Repeal bill together t< the President, for which purpose the former had been kept back several hours.? The bill was then suffered to be debated and the House adjourned about 4 o'clock, \Ir. Pickens having the floor for Monday, The Bank hill is now before the Presi dent, and the Whigs confidently asseri that lie will sign it. They will be mista ken. There is some doubt, however wheihet he will place himself on the higl ground occupied bj him in former days on this question, or whether the veto wil be qualified by recommendation of "tfu thing," which you call "the otter." It is also thought by many that even if the President's veto is an unqualified one, tin present cabinet will not resign, as it wil be much more agreeable to them to forsake their principless than forsake theii places. Washington, August?, 1841. In the Senate, this morning, n Kesolu lion submitted by Mr. Clay, of Alabama some days since, was taken- up. Tht Resolution was an inquiry of the Secreta ry of the Treasury whether additions 'icrks had been appointed in the Land Office Bureau since the 4th March last, ant if so, tfce causes for the increase. Mr. Smith opposed the Resolution at uncalled for and improper. Mr. Clay replied at some length, insisting on its propriety, as giving the public in opportunity of contrasting the acts oi iflis Adiorniairn-tion with t+T*?? iwf--retrenchment of those who support it Mr. Presto* t'lien, in a most grandiloquent effort, which was most liberally inerspersed with scraps of Law Latin and quotations from Virgil, lauded the present \tlininisirniioti as the " wisest and best" be-country has beeti blest with for a greaj virile aud ihnt it was liberal almost lo a aull in to'lt rating political differences ol pinion. He winced a perfect knowledge ii' the situation of our several diplomatic unctionaries abroad, which could only lave been attained by laborious investigation, though, doubtless, it was a labor id love. Mr. Buchanan in reply, expressed hie satisfaction that the Senator from S.tilth Carolina had again buckled on his armor, ifier the itigl .cious ease he had indulged n for sometime, but he thought his renarks in relalien to the extravagance ol he former administration, would have 3cen mote appropriate nine months hack, mil thought it was a poor evidence of rc? [briii when the abuses of the present Ad? ministration arc attempted to be justified by reference to similar abuses of the past. Mr. Benton in reply ?? Mr. Preston said, he would endeavor to contrast facts with fancy, and as an evidence of the liberality of the dominant party, read Mr. Webster's letter to the President, which the latter within a few days has transmitted t? Congress asking an appropriation of 872,)00 for outfits and salaries of new .diplomatic functionaries to be sent out in place ?f those recalled. Seventy-tWo thousand Jidlars for the purpose of displacing D<** nocrats, whose situations were to be fill* ml by Federalists and Abolitionists, asked 'or at this Extra Session, which ivas call* ?d to relieve the distresses of the country, md the only relief so far, have been bills o create a national debt, and a bill to in* :rease the taxes between eight and nine nillions of dollars. Without taking a piestion on the Resolution, it was laid tver. The motive for the Resolution was this: When the Commissioner of the Land Office entered on his duties, his first move* nent was to dischurge fourteen Demncratc clerks, who were among the mo3t effluent in the public service. Mr. Tyler vetoed this act of proscription, and leu ol lip rlnrks were renlnred. Tn nri*nmi?li?jli .heir object in another mode, new appointnents of Federalists and Abolitionists (a ton of the notorious Slade being among he number) have been made, increasing :onsiderabiy the number of clerks, nnd in t few months it will be found that the force can be considerably " reduced" without detriment to the public service, when the Democrats will of course be the firsi upon which the reduction will operate.? The z^al displayed by Mr. Preston is arcounted for by the fact, tlitt he lost ground considerably with the President by hit coarse on the Bank Bill, and he is cndea : L r '.-ssr - . -s &?'- .J ' y - .}>- ;; .

Washington, Aug. 9. The whole city is fn a state of doubt and . "anxiety, in respect to the fate of the Bank - bill. The Whigs have not entirely lost iheir confidence in the opinion uniformly ? expressed by them, that Mr. Tyler would sign the hilt. Some prominent members of the Cabinet, were of that opinI ion, as late as Friday, us I know; and even 3 on Saturday, sortie distinguished function, aries here, scouted the idea of his vetoing I it. f confess I don't know what to think t of these assertions, for' I have supposed 3 that the President would veto the bill, I > stiil think that he will, unless he should yield his judgment and inclination to the pressing circumstances of the case. One . thing is certain, that he has not yet signed , the bill. If he was perfectly free from . scrunles on the subject, one would sup pose that he would have signed the bill at t once, well knowing, as he does, the anx iety of the public, Old Senator Dts<?m car. ried the bill to him, and proposed to him, i drily, to sign it, while he waited. The ? President replied that the bill was rather I Ionir, and he must look over it, and he : would be ajrry to detain Mr. Djxon till he i signed it. : Should he sign it, I think he will cer; tainly do it to-day, and quiet the public I apprehensions. So, if we do not receive a message announcing that hehasapprov' r ed and signed it, to-day, we may expect the veto message towards the ead of lite week. The House disposed of tlie bill to re neal the Sub Treasury Act to-day, after . hearing Mr. Pickens in opposition thereto, f The President will thus hare to consider what-substitnte we shall have fortheSub I Treasury, if the Bink fail. I Tlie Bankrupt irrii comes next, and will I be finished by Thursday. The Secretary of the Treasury has isi sued only one and a half millions of the bonds for the twelve million loan, and they - will be readily taken at five and a half and : five and two fifths. f -Several brokers and business men from > PliiUdvlphia and Ne*t.Tork, !ia*e been to the President and represented very confi* - dently that the Bank slock will mrt be la ken, because it cannot be used as a remit* I tance to Europe, nor pledged to ike Bank L for loans; and because the stockholders are 1 limited 3e seven per cent profits, while t the) ru* the risk of aH the loss This' opinion is general; but it is the intention' f of the friends of a Bank to modify tlie; ; charter in these particulars, by a snpple* : mentary bill. Savannah, Augnst 7. r Glorious news pro* Florida! Co a-! coo-ch ek's whole band in! Close or the" Florida War.?By tire U. S, steamer1 i Gen. Taylor, Capt. Peck, arrived here1 ? yesterday, we have the gratifying intelli-i I geuce from Florida, that the waT for the J ninety-ninth time, may now be consider " ed as at an end. Wild Cat's whole band, men, women, children and negroes, 1601 i in all have come in at Tampa, and 40i more Indians of another band were onj their wat, and were expected at Tampa in two days. A gentleman who came on io the Gen. Tayjor, says that he does not <tiin.tr fiAllmr rifle ui I! bp firpd hv thpi i enemy. When Co-n-cotschee^ family came in, Col. Worth told him tM* he might go on ! shore from tho schooner where he is con? fined and see them. He raftised to go, saying ihat though he was anxious to see his family, he would not permit them to 1 see him in irons. The Colonel finally consented to let him go on shore without his shackles, and after a warm greeting with his family, he dined with the Colonel, ! and then returned on board the schooner. As snon as his irons were replaced, he told Col. Worth that lie had but one request more to make, and that was, to al low him and his people to go West as ' soon as possible! We nnderstand that Col. Worth on taking command in Florida, set the first day of January, 1*842, as the time of closing this war. From his admirable management and indomitable perseverance, ? seconded by the gallant officers and troops now in the field, there is every prospect that he will redeem hia pledge. Should he succeed, he will have the honor of accomplishing what older and more experienced commanders have failed to perfoim. During the war many of the officers of our gallant little army have distinguished a _ i* -1 I Memsetves, and more ot inera womu nave i done so, had opportunities been present* i ed. It has been a field in which there has - been plenty of hard service and but little i glory to be obtained. E?ery thing how* l ever, that could be done? has been done, and we are glad once more to see a pros* peet of speedily subduing the enemy. I The first Regiment of Infantry now in } Florida, hare been ordered to Fort Craw ford, Prarie du Chien, Upper Mississippi. .

We are indebted to our corres- | pondenf of the News office, for the follow- ' Ing intelligence: Corrttpond*nct of tie Satannak Republic**. ' ' OFFICE OF THE NEWS, ) St. Augustine, August 3, 1841. j . . The steamer Wm, Gaston, Capt. 80mers. arrived this afternoon from Southern Posts. The large scout started from Key Blscayne and Fort Dallas, for the Everglades, 011 the -'evening of Friday,, the 30th ult., consisting of ?ix Companies Artillery, under the command of Capt. Burke, and a number'of Sailors and Marines under the command of Capt. Rodgers and Lieut. Sloan, of the Navy? amounting in all to about 400 .men^aind 50 canoes, with which they anticipate accomplishing much towards the close ?JT this protracted war. We.heartily wish.'them success; and look forward with no ordinary -anxiety, for the< ^accomplishment of much good, ^ We ?re flnrrv tn learn, that that.ffallant officer, .Major Childs, who was ?o have commanded. the expedition wa? left sick at Fort .Dallas.- The Fosts South, are generally very healthy, with the exception of a few cases of slight fever owing to the exposure of the men to the fcuri, '' Major Childs has issued an order for the removal of all the stores and store-hfouses, from Key Biscayne to Fort Dallas, and will break up that post (the Key) entirely. The accounts from Key West are of the most deplorable nature. The yellow fovrr i? said in hp r a or in (7 nt that nlace. ,w" "** *- ?? i ? and very fatal; a large number have al-. ready fallen victims to it. One of the unfortunate victims is Mr. Landon C, Henry. The lever has been still worse at Havana, and we learn that there are nine American ships now lying in that port without a soul on board, ell having died of the prevailing fever. We have no further news from Tampa Hay to communicate, since the last intel. ligenee of the Indians coming in very ra pidly. PILATKA Aug. 7, 1841. Gentlemen.?The prospect stilf continues to brighten^ besides the band of Coa-cno-chee, which are all in small parties .if Indiana are coming in daily at Tampa Bay, and recent accounts give strong assurances that Sam Jone will eomein soon. A small detachment of troops, with some Indian guides, left a few days since to meet a detached party of Halteck Tustenuggce's band; and no doubt is enter lainetl but that they will also be induced to come in. ??. . One Company of 7th Infantry is to be stationed at Wacasassa, one at Fort Wheelockand three at Charley Emeu's Town these five companies have<been stationed at Fort Mveauopy, which "post has been abandoned, Yours, &c. From the Sl.Auguttine Newt, 6th intt. On the 24 ult. rive Indians visited the plantation of Col F. R. Sanchez, in Alachua County, and waylaid the field, for the purpose, it is supposed, fo killing some one, but they were discovered by a black boy, and driven off by the lew men with dogs, who happened to be atthe plantation. On the 25th or 26lh, they plundered and burned W.IIiam Townsend's place, about 12 miles from Newnansville* Upwards of 100 Indians, men, women, and children, have come in at Tampa; principally of Coacoochee's band. Amongstthem are some warriors from Sam Jones1 party. It is believed that the whole of Coacoochee's band have come in, as re qiu;-euoy nim inrougn me rnnners mai ne sent out from his prison at Tampa. Th*cheif, and all his people are kept on board vessels at anchor in the Bay, and are well guarded; not being allowed any longer to remain upon that soil which has been the scene of their oft repeated treacheries and murders. The chief himself, with some of his warriors, are in irons. Thus we see that the bringing bim back from New Orleans, and putting his neck in danger of a halter, has resulted in getting in his people. He was, certainty, aa Col. Worth remarked, "the best card in his hand," and haffbeen well played besides. It is understood that some of Aleck Tustenugee's band are disBfiecte# 1 towards that chief, and are watching an opportunity to con:e in?,so say the prisoners. The message now sent by Col. W. to the Indians is, that he has no talks foy them?if they come in they must go at once to Arkansaa but he does not care whether they come or not; for as soon as the proper season arrives he will catch them, and force them to go, or hang them. They are not 1 persuaded to come in, bat only told this as their day of grace; and if they.choose to ' avail themselves of it, well; but. if not, lo 1 take the consequences. This is the proper way to talk to these people, and we doubt not, will produce a good effect upon them. Meantime, scouting parties of our troops are kept constantly in motion; 300 men are now searching the Everglades in canoes; and two or three detachments are moving by land, for the purpose of co-operating with them. The Indians will thus be made to know that a system of warfare has commenced which will break up i their secret hiding places, and allow them i no rest until they surrender. . i , " i 7" - *" Indians West or tfte Apalachicola.
