whence she sailed on the 9Th ult. The editors
of the Gazette have received their London and

TO its introduction into an appropriation bill.
i.ir. Lvermorc was also friend to the Academy,
but feared the insisting on this purchase might in-

liked this indirect sort of legislation. If the farm

to find that they were no.s 4, tered for this vic
weed; we are happy to hear from such learned
authority, from the gentleman who superintcnds
our national industry, that our tobacco-plant has
only flourished since 1890, under the salutary
protection OF Congress, But our admiration
reaches its altitude, when we como to the duty
on sugar. This duty had, before 1900, reached
> i-2 cents; it is now but three. We always
thought Louisiana had belonged to Spain-then
to France. Ii appears singular how this duty
could have been proposed for the protection Of
French and Spanish planters. But what's
this difficulty TO our modern logicians? Those
who can transfer Hindostan to Carolina
in 1890, can, with equal facility give history
retrograde movement, and tell us, what no
body will have the tcmerity to deny, that our
ancestors generally laid this duty TO protect and
encourage the planters of Louisiana, though
then not within the circle of our confederacy.
Such is the foundation upon which this argu-
mentotrcciprocity rests. Auargument addressed
to our local Prcjudices. He regretted to perceive
that thedebate, on every item ofthe BILL seemed to
be generally confined too much to mere local
ground. 1t was natural-it was proper, that
we should advocate the interest of our state, and
of the particular district we represent; but he
trusted the time would come, when we should
bring into every discussion more national feel
ing-when our national interests would be con-
suited.

CALCUTTA, Sept. 1O.--We have received
letters from the Upper Provinces, mentioning
that the heavy rains in the regions above food
ed the rivers, that several hundred villages have
been inundated by Il deluge which swept away
many OF our fellow creatures and DESTROYED hou-
SEES and property to great extent. The price
OF gram had risen III consequence, and 1T is even
asserted that parents were disposing oftheir Off
spring to preserve themselves and children from
starvation! The corn dealers taking advantage
of the distress, had advanced their prices and
commenced a system of forestalIinr.
Letters from Nuddca and Patna rive the
most lamentable accounts of the effects of the
late foundations. Nuddca is completely over
wnelned, and at Patna the native population is
reduced to agreat state of misery by the destruc-
ton of their huts, and have consequently been
obliged TO take to boats. The JelIinghv has
risen to an unparalleled height; the KishDagar
and the surrounding districts are one entire
sheet of water, and the inhabitants are in the
same state as those at Fama.
Considerable GOODNESS is said to prevail be-
tween Russia and Austria, in relation to the af-
fairs of Turkey. A secret engagement has lust
been published, by which Russia, in 1917, sold

THE COMMITTEE OF INVESTIGATION.

This committee has at length reported, and from
the reading OF in the House, we were only able
collect its general complexion. 1t appears that al
most every material fact stated by MIR. Edwards il
his memorial has been sustained by the committee
The receipt OF uncurrent notes from certain debtor
banks, is admitted to have been made contrary tt
law. The Withholding of documents, called for BY
the House under diferent resolutions, is admitted
The transfer of the deposites OF public money:
from the branches of the Bank Of the United States
TO local banks, without as is requiredb by law, repor
ting the reasons to Congress, is admitted.
That MIR. Edwards made his publication in 1919
announcing his intention of Withdrawing as drec-
tor from the Bank of Edwardsville, is admitted.
That he advised the receiver to withhold the de-
posts from the Bank Of Edwardsville, In 1919, uu-
Ill he should be advised on the subject by the Trea-
sury Department, is admitted
In relation to the foregoing acts, so far as they
might seem to impeach the conduct of the Secreta-
tary, The committee say there is no evidence of any
bad motive.
The statements of Mr. Edwards then turn out to
be true and The only point in dispute is, the inten
ton of the Secretary. I, will be remembered, that
Mr.. Edwards does not charge badness of intention
he only urges those facts IS evidences of careless
ness, orgetulness, and erroneousness of Judgment,
in the particular cases mentioned, and therefore,
that the memory Of Mr.. Crawford should be doubt
ed when brought in contact with his oath, and his
distinct recollection Of any particular fact, which
Mr.. c. might controvert. The absence Of impro-
per motive in the illegal and negligent conduct OF
the Secretary suppose that to be true, does not, in
the least degree, lessen the force of what Mr.. Ed.
wards has stated, with view merely to the defence
OF his own veraciy.
How far the opinion Of the committee as to motive
may be found to be we'll founded, is question for
the nation to determine.
The committee very properly propose to prose-
cute this investigation further, as TO afford Mr..
Edwards an opportunity to be heard We say, let
him be heard. We know his int epid character,
and he will, no doubt, bring every thing to light.
