W It is admitted on ail hands, that tiie Prcs- u jre upon the money market is greater at rai lis time than during the panic two years in go; and it is equally certain, that this pres. jre is daily increasing without any prosect of relief for tiie next thirty or sixty days, gl i the mean time, should Congress adjourn pe ithout passing a law authorizing the disibution of the Surplus Revenue among the tates, or devising some other mode ofpreenting its accumulation, the scarcity of of toney must continue to increase until* the T/ ?i? immcrcial ami otlier great interests of the \ I juntry, become paralized. M The amount of Government Depdlites J >w in the pet Banks, is very nearly forty I ill ions of dollarsr* and every succeeding I iy witness the increase of this enormous V irplus in the hands of<hc Goyerhmen%. j hence it cannot return into circulation. I ecd we Ofler any other reason for the pre. I :nt scarcity of money?- Let the reflecting I >rtion of the people?those who constitute J e legitimate source -of power and who )oukl be the rulers of the cowitiy^?let 19 ose we say, seriously reflect upon this suh- 1 ct, and demand justice at the hands of their 1 Representatives. When the revenue wa? fM nly equal to tlx? absolute wants of the- 1 ountry, as fast as it was collected it wa* * jl xpenfied; and thus by returning immodi. I tely into the hands of the people to fill up- 1 ic vacuum created by its withdrawal from irculation, the whole operation ofcollecting, ic revenue was unattended with any inju. ious effect upon the money marlftt. At lis time too, the Government owed from venly to sixty miflrorfe ofdollffftl rcpresco >j by that amount of the United States < tock, which added precisely, thus much to ic available circulating medium of the ountr<'f because it could always be used in irge operations with as great and even renter facility than money itself. By tho ic reasc of the revenue this debt has gradu- - ? lly I>ecn liquidated, and as tast as liquidatd the stock destroyed. Of course it fol- \ \ )\vs, that by the payment of the national 1 ebt the actual circulating medium of the i ountry has been decreased that amount:? I ay within a few years, fifty millipns-^-and 1 ow wc must add* to that sum the immense U urplus unemployed in tlto Treasure. 1 Courier fy Enquirer, \ w * ^3 ; I :heraw gazette. TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 1816. -1 .5 y It will bo soon that the "hoau" Ruaax, Econ* j j my, on our first page was by mistake placed ore* $ J ic wrong article. Since the appearance of the email pox in Marl, i |j orough, the infected district has had so-little in. i l jrcourse with our town, and the infected Tozni- j cs so littlo with.their neighbors, that' we hare | cncrally'found it difficult to collect satisfactory I lformation as to the actual extent of the disease. 9 Ve therefore, last week, rode over to seo and in. 9 uire for ourselves, in company with two other * M lcmbcrs of the Chcraw Medical Board. The ft iseaso did not, so far as we could learn, spread I cvond - the' families which had been exposed to j lie infection before it was ascertained to be small p ox. Their number is eight. The whole num. *' cr of persons who have had tho disease is about ft 0. The few who still have it are recovering, [ho number of deaths, including an infant born ^ ;ith tho eruption is seven. All members of tho ' j unities into winch, it was introduced, so for as OA -c were able to learn, have now taken it, except ^ loso who had been protected by vaccination. As some persona, notwithstanding tipepass of V inclusive evidence before tho pdLUc, in favor rtho protecting power efvaecmatVou, ctUl en. ;rtain lingering doubt*am this subject, we state lie following facta. Herbert Smith, the first of lioso who took the disease and who had it very iverely, was nursed tliroaghout his confinement ,; y his wife and a black woman, neither of whom as taken the disease, although their only pro. ;ct ion was that they had several years since been accinated. Mr. Smith's family were til vacciatcd as early as vaccine matter could be pro. urcd. Those of them in whom the vaccination lccccdcd beforo the small pox bad taken hold of M, ic system escaped this disease, whilst those who r ad been unsuccessfully vaccinated' took it I *hrcc physicians from this town visited the first iscs of tho disease which occurred several wnskr 1 nee, and they have all escaped it, although 8 one of tlicin had any other protection than vac. ination. We might state many other fiMjti }ually conclusive, but deem it unnecessary. Upon enquiring Vhether any person who had Vtn r.vvmAvlw /*/???? A/1 /VU tvimviijr lavviUdM^i iw? vuw oui<U< |A*Aj WW ero told that a few did, bat had it so mildly qs \ :arccly to be confined by it. Their disease* >nd doubt, was, not small pox, bat varioloid, Inch often succeeds genuine small pox, M well i' ; vaccination. Fifteen cases of small pox have occurred in 3 olumbus, Ga. mostly among the colored popution. There have been throe deaths. John Q. Adams has been ill, but has again far recovered as to rcsume -his eeat in the ouse. It is stated that the resolution which passed the ra so of Representatives oFPebnsylvania instrucig the Senators of that State in Congress to Lo against tho expQneine resolution of Mr ntoa, has been postponed in the Senate till next aion, by a majority of one vote.. We learn from the New York Journal of Com. ;rco that a fellow named Robinson, a clerk in a i pec tabic mercantile house, becoming jealous of i mistress, murdered her at night in bed with a tchct, provided, no doubt, for that purpose, and ( ;n set fire to the bed and made his escape, but is afterwards appjehended. Jfe is represented bo a young man of "good address and confident inner." . * A subsequent account says that tbs femalo is the daughter of Major Goal Spsalding, of aine, and a highly accomplished girl, who was luced while a? a hoarding school, and as a mat. of course, afterwards deserted, by a fiend in man shapb, who was ** the cashier of a bank/ e know not when -we felt so strong indignation upon reading the statement. We would much . , ther see the scoundrel hung than any murderer , J the land. Tho Virginia election so far as we havo learnt res the Whigs 23, Van Buren 31. The ehan. a in all have boon 8.
