IRELAND, winch had, ON his notion, been
recommittcd 10 the committee of claims.
This report adduces, as further testimony
against the claim of John Ireland, letter
addressed by Com. Barney To q member
OF the house, DENYING the fact that the
destruction of the house for which COM
pensation was claimed, was attributable
10 the occupation thereof by the tiotilla
men under his command, &c.
On TINS report some little debate took
place, In which MIR. Stuart questioned
the force of this SORT of epistolary declar-
alton, In contradiction to the opposing
evidence of several persons on oath and
Mr. Smith, of Md. questioned the cor
rectness of particular part of the report.
TO both of these gentlemen MIR. Williams
OF \. C.. replied.
The report was ultimately ordered TO lie
on the table.
On motion Of Mr.. Tyler, the committee
OH the Judiciary were instructed to en-
quire into the eXpediency of altering the
time OF holding the circuit court of the
United States for the Virginia district,
holden at Richmond, from The 18th TO the
I'd day of April in each wear.

ed TO enquire into the eXpediency of plac-
ing John Miller OH the pension list from

On motion Of Mr.. Bloomfield, the com
mittee on foreign relations were instruct
ed 10 enquire into the eXpediency of es-
tablishing the residence of Consul at
Mogadore, in the Empire of Morocco.
Mr.. Is. assigned as reason for this
motion The advantages which would re-
suit from consulate there, &c. and par
ticularly from the opportunity ii would
afford OF redeeming from captivity our
shipwrecked mariners and other citizens,
who might be unfortunate enough TO fall
into the hands of tie Arabs, &c.
On motion OF Mr. Bionat, the commit
tee on the post Office and post roads were
instructed 10 enquire into the expediency
OF establishing post road from Greene
vile, by Newport, cambridge, and Hills,
TO Knoxville, in Tennessee.
MIR. TAR offered for consideration
motion TO the following effect "That the
committee on military affairs be instruct
ed 10 enquire into the eXpediency of
granting 3 tract of 100 acres Of laHd 10
each surviving soldier Of the laie revolu-
tionary army, who enlisted for three years,
and faithfully served out the term of their
enlistment"
Mr.. t. said that the class referred TO
was very merltorIouS description OF

heretofore, but who, he thought ought
now TO be provided for i'll the manner
which he proposed.
The motion was agreed 10, but not

MITLEDCFyfLLE, Feb. JO.--The militia called
for by the tate requisiton are marching with
aiacrIty to Hartford, the place oi rendezvous.
The computes from Wilkes and ElDurt passed
through this place on Saturday aud Sunday last
From other counties they have proceeded to
their destination by nearer routes. BHRor, ever
brsy 10 catering for credplity, has more than once
within the last week represented Gen. Jackson
to have arrived at Fsrt Hawkins, Clinton and
half dozen other places where he certainly
had not been. 1t has been reported too.
that from 1890 to 1900 Tennessee Volunteers
would accompany hm--o this we know no.
thing-That he is already IN the Creek Nation
or on his way there, We have 10 doubt but
whether at the head Ofmany volunteers, or at
tended only by the officers Of his staff, is un-
certain. Since our last paper, we have no in.
formation that any further mischief has been
done by the Indians. il is the opinion of ma
ny intelligent persons, that the savages, from
the nature of tRcir COuutry. can eiude deCi.
slve engagement. and prucfastinate the war
uliaOai at pleasure. We think u unfortunate
that the militia had not been called out in the
first Instance, for The full term authorized hv
law. " tie object for which their services
we're required had been sooner accomplished
their dsclmfge would have followed as maj.
ter Of course.
t-5- After the above was liz tyne. and inst
before our paper went 20 press, we learned
that the Governor has received a letter from,
General Jackson, dated from jackson county
~ this state. ihc general was proceeding 10
fort Hawkins, and there IS iitile doubt but he
arrived there yesterday. as tho firing Ofcsnnon
IN thai direction was distinctly heard. The quo.

OF GEN. PUTNAM.

During the late war, when Gen. Am.
herst was marching across the country O
Canada, the army coming to one of the
Lakes, which they were obliged to pass
found the French had vessel of II guns
on it. Gen. Amherst was in great distress
his boats were no match for her, and she
alone was capable of sinking his whole
army if embarked. While the general
was bordering what to do, Putnam came
up to him, and said " that ship must be Ia
ken." Aye, said Amherst, | would give
the world she was. I'll secure her, says
Putnam. Amherst smiled, and asked how
Give me some wedges and few men OF
my own choice. Amherst could not con-
ceive how an armed vessel was to be con-
quered by a or men and few wedges.
However he granted Putnam's request,
when night came, Putnam with his maieri-
ais and men, went into boat under the
vessels stern, and in an instant put in the
wedges behind the rudder, in the cavity
between the rudder and ship, and escaped.
In the morning, she got under way, the
rndder could not be moved, much confu-
sion was observed on board, the sails were
seen futtering, she was adriit 10 the Lake,
and being presently blown ashore, was
easily captured.

And the feast Of the reaper with ecstacy dwell on

The bright yellow umipkin--how mellow its juices
When tempered with ginger and bak into pye.
Let others with dainties their appetites pamper,
And gaze with delight on the splendour of plate ;
BE stunn'd with hustle, and bid pages scamper-
Such pleasures as these resign to the great:
But give me the feast, where no knives and forks
clatter,
Where each to the neat cherry table draws nigh,

And all the rich fruits of tropical sky,
Their exquisite juices, and Aayours, and tinges-
And ask no dessert save the sweet pumpkin pye |
Then hail to the Nurse Of the Pampkin and Onion;

Still. still to my bosom her green hills are dear
