Mr.. ;. then proceeded 60 show that very
great improvements in point of economy and
rehenchment had been introduced into the
War Department by the present Secretary,
since he held that office. He remarked, that
perhaps the best comparison that could be
made TO test economy would be to compare
it with itself. The extrayagant man natural
ly became more extravagant, and the economi-
cal man more economical in the lapse of time
1t would be perceived, he said, by the follow
ing statement, which also he read that very
great improvement had been annually made
in that Department:

That this very material reduction had been
made, was owing to the superior and trans
cendant abilities of the present Secretary.
The system he had adopted was the best proof
of genius, aud fully entitled him TO the ma
tons confidence. The custom the govern
ment had established the necessity of very
considerable expenditure in the Indian De-
partment. That custom could not be sudden
ly departed from. If, however, it should be
determined to depart from the usage, in what
manner, said he shall il be done ply with
holding appropriations No, sir; it should
be by altering your laws. Ii your trading
houses are deemed useless, away with them.
tfpresents are unnecessary, repeal the law that
grants them. Ifagents are useless or faith
less, dismiss them.-but let no act be done
that shall tarnish the national honor by brok-
en- contracts or violated faith.
Mr.. WRIGHT followed Mr.. Smyth, in few
remarks the same tendency as his. At the
last session, he said, the Secretary of War,
whose duties We're prescribed by law, which
he had no y 10 execute or omit, had in
formed Congress- that an appropriation of
10000 dollars was necessary for the Indian
department. Congress, however had APP
propriated but 100000, and the necessary
consequence was deficiency of 5 900 for
thatyear. 1t couldnot have been otherwise, MIR.
~ Cohlebucu ana tlie secretary oil WARM
whom the nation had Il confidence which the
present proceedings would only serve TO con-
irm--stood, in regard to the appropriation
now asked for, on very high ground. 1t was
an unusual thing, he said, to refuse necessary
appropriations, as was done ut the last SEES
sion 4; and, for the deficiency, Congress,
rather than the Secretary ofWar, was ac-
countablc. 1t was ridiculous, Mr.. w. said,
10 tell the Secretary of War, by law, you shall
do this and that, and then deprive him of tie
necessary means to do it., sc. These, and
few other remarks, Mr.. w. added to those.
of his friend from Virginia, who, he said, had
covered the whole ground, and clearly illus
trated the question before the house
Mr. D'cighL remarking that the hour of add
lournmen: had nearly arrived, moved that the
committee rise and ask leave to sit again.
Which motion was agreed to by vote of 20
to 50 I; and the house adjourned.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 9.-lnformation was re-
ceived here yesterday by gentleman from
Annapolis, that Spanish schooner from Bal
ilmore was stranded on the upper end of Kent
Island on Thursday night last. On Saturday
three Spaniards and black man were taken
from the wreck by Capt. Langdon of Chester
River. Several of the crew were on Kent Island
The captain and five men had taken the
boat and started for Rockhall and have not
since been heard of. The vessel had biIged
and was full of water, lying on her beam ends
the men were AL frost bitten.
We have reason TO believe the above vessel
is the La Plata, Capt Costamont, which sail
ed from this port on Thursday last T.4mer.
ltappears that the pending election of Di-
rectors OF the Bank of the United States has
excited pretty warm contest among the
Stockholders 1t is supposed that the division
IS between an Eastern and .SOuthey7. interest,
as TO the choice ofpresident. TIL
CHARLESTON, Jan. Eve learn from a
gentleman lately arrived from Savannah, that
aDumber of bills were found upon the persons
who were recently apprehended in the above
place for passing Counterfeit money, which
are genuine, hut altered in the numbers not
the amount tits presumed, from this circum-
stance, that they intended TO prevent the Bills
from being identified; and that they either
ave the men who robbed the Mail lately be-
yend Baltimore, or otherwise came dishonest
ly by them. We are adv ised to suggest TO
those who have lately lost money, to forward
the particulars to the Post Master of Savan-
nah, that he may apply to the Mayor on the
subject. TPnt

Mr.. RANDOLPH said that from what had
fallen from the gentleman from New York, he
now entertained great doubts of the propriety
OF going even so far as the motion which, on
his suggestion, had been submitted TO the
committee. He had done it on the principle
that as $4,000 dollars bad been granted last
year to cover the deficiency of the preceding
year, Vt would be almost matter of course
with the majority Of that house TO vote the
10000 dollars requisite to make good the pre-
sent dehcIcncy holding the head Of the De

Every person capable of discernment on reading the

will be ready to conclude that he is convinced such pro-

attempt to vndcate them. Instead of this he does not
say one word about the used for making preachers

sneaks off, by asking number of nterrogatons quite for

him come forward and ngenuousy and truth be on
his side, he will have nothing to fear.
Among other questions he asks-"What means do these

The base nsinua,ons thrown out by the "Stranger in
