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

roring to regain his former position in th?
sunshine of Executive favor.
The Distribution Bill was taken up,
and the day consumed in discussing various
amendments proposed to it
r- In the House, the Independent Trea1
sury Bill was repealed after an animated
. debate?Ayes 134, Noes 87.
Mr. Pickens opposed the repeal in a
i very able speech, in which the whole subi
ject of the effects produced on the com*
, merre and industry of the country by the
? paper system, was argued in a truly phi
iosophic spirit, The Resolution for ad.
journment on the 18th was proposed, and
i it is thought probable that it will pass toi
morrow.

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.

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.

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
