FREDERicK, Md.( August Is.
William II. Crasc(ord, the Secretary Of the
Treasury, accompanied by his lady anda few
friends arrived in this city on Tuesday evening
and proceeded westward on "Wednesday NOR
ming. He proposes, We understand, 10 spend
a few days atths Springs at Bath, in Virginia,
and from thence will probably travel through
Pennsylvania TO the north.
We are gratifed in having It 10 our power
to assure our friends Of tho complete re-es-
tablishment Of the health Of this much abu.-
ed s. truly estimable mao. Heis, however, still
somewhat affected with the debility pecessari-
" consequent to his protracted sufierings ; but
is entirely free from disease. A few DAVIS, we
feel assured, will restore him to his accustom
ed vig0ur and strength. The surest proof we
can offer of his rapid convaescence. is the fact
that on Tuesday he passed over twenty eight
miles Of rough and billy road, and, refre.Ii- d
by good nights rest, resumed his Journey at
an early hour the following morning.
Mr.. Crawford is upwards Of six feet in stat
ure, Of noble figure, but somewhat relaxed nv
his late illness. His countenancp is open and
manly, with nose Of admirable contour,
guarded by pair Of eyes whose sparkling in
dictates penetration, and whose mildnes ex-
presses the placid mind aud benignant heart

NEW ORLEANS.-By the shin Chan.
cellor at New York, New Orleans papers to
the 2lst ult. have been received. The Lsuis-
lana Advertiser of the last date speaks thus
of the crops
From recent accounts we can state, that the
staples OF Louisiana never promised more
abundant yield, especially that Of sugar the
fields are literally grooming under their rich CO.
| vering. In despite of every disaster, Louisia-
ma, like Sampson of old, can never be COM
completely bound. Her agricultural strength
will break through every temporary enthral-
ment, and must carry her sons in triumph
to the portals Of wealth and grandeur. She
| must be the Mistress Of the West-huricanes
and rot to the contrary notwithstanding.
The total shipment Of Cotton from New
orleans, the present season was 14l, 267 bales.

ALABAMA.-A meeting for Crawford and
GaIlatin was held ut Mobile, July 18th. Re-
solutions in favour of the national Democratic
Candidates were unanimously adopted; and a
committee was appointed to address the people
on their behalf.
The editors Of the Mobile Commercial
Register say that from all they can hear they
are inclined to believe that Mr.. Crawford has
as good q chance for the vote of Alabama as any
candidate and that there can be no doubt
very considerable changes are working in his
favour. Phil Press.
CHESTNUT WARD.-In this ward at the
election of Delegates for the Harrisburg Con-
vention last winter, three fourIhs of the VOTES
were for the Jackson ticket; but at the late
election of delegates there was tie between

decided in favour Of the former by the casting
yOte;0f the chairman. II is not in Chestnut
ward alone that the General has lost friends.
The Jackson tickets are believed to have
carried less votes at the late meetings than
they did last winter, alilio' in the intermediate
time they had received an accession Of the
whole Calhoun party, and obtained all the ad
vantage which the result of the Harrisburg
convention could give them. The truth is
that at this time, Gen. jackson has no standing
in Pennsylvania but what is acquired by no.

THE Usage MURDERERS.
LITTLE Rock, (Ark.) June 29.-Fiye O.
sage indians, being the principal leaders of the
band who murdered Maj WeIhorn and party
in November last, were brought to this place,
from Cantonement Gibson, on Friday last, by
Capt, PhIbrick, with guard of u. S. soldiers
Six Indians had been given up by the Osages
as stated in our last paper, but one of them
rnnde his escape from Capt. Philbrck, on the
first night after leaving the CanIonement. II
is thought. however, that ne will be immedi-
| ately given up on his return TO the nation, as
the Osages are very much alarmed at the mea-
sures which have been taken to compel them
to surrender the murderers.
The prisoners were delivered to the Acting
Governor of this Territory, and are now con-
fined in the Jail in this place. Their trial for
murder will take place in October next
