The President of the United States has aP-
pointed Samuel Harrison Smith, of washing-
ington; anthony Charles Ca-enore, OF Aiexan-
dria. and Clement Smith, ofGeorgetown, Com
missioners ON the part of the United States, to
receive subscriptions for stock in the Chesa-
neake and Ohio Canal Company. The distri-
button is as just as the selection is good, and
we doubt not that both viii give general salts

of August.
will be seen BY the returns copied from
the Charleston Courier, that Col DnArroS
has been elected member of Congress from
the Charleston District, lately represented by
Mr.. Poinsett, minister to Mexico. The re-
turns are from two parishes only, but the Cou-
rier speaks positively of the result. Colonel
Drayton is the gentleman so highly recon-
mended to Mr. Monroe, by General jackson,
as Secretary of War. He has pledged himself
to his constituents not to join any organized
opposition to the present administration, but
to iudgeit by its acts.
Capt Symmes.-An Ohio paper states that
this specious and ingenious Philosopher has
actually accepted the invitation of the Russian
Emperor to join an expedition to the South
Polar Region.
Ifhe succeed in discovering extensive in
terror regions, it would be blessed circum-
lance to Southern Europe, could he prevail
on the Autocrat to remove his Court.
Counterfeit Money. -Notice has been gwen
by the New-York police, that spurious Span
ish Dollars of 1898, and Fourpence Halfpen-
MES of 1907, are in circulation in that city
They appear to be newly made, and the inn
pressions are holder than on the genuine coins.
A Nev Paper.--Yesterday's mail brought us
the first number ofthe .3merican Patriot, print
ed at Portland. The specimen Of editorial ef-
fort is highly promising, and the mechanical
arrangement evinces taste and judgment. We
congratulate the proprietors on their debut,
and tender them our best wishes for an honor
able and successful career.
Patent Hoe Harrose We perceive by the
last Charleston Mercury, that many OF the
first cotton planters in the state of South Ca
rorna have tried Mr.. McConauchy's Patent
Hoe Harrow, and express themselves entirely
satisfied with il. They think, from its great
simplicity and cheapness, that it will soon su-
nercede the common hoe in that section OF
the country, as it has already done in Penn
,ykana and the middle states
This valuable improvement in agriculture
is advertised for sale by Messrs. A. c. Gaze
move s. Co. agents for this place.
We substitute the following more particu-
lar account from the IntelGgencer, OF the &C
cident which occurred day before yesterday In
Washington, in lieu of the one given in yes
terday's Supplement. We are happy to hear
from gentleman who came down last even
ing, that no lives are in danger.
A very unfortunate accident occurred IN
this city yesterday. As the Mail Stage from
Baltimore was about to descend the CaPitoi
Hill. the horses took fright at something or
~. Lafp In IN hnI
them in, they dashed down the road towards
the avenue, but were going too rapidly to be
turned into il. They ran across towards Ma
ryland Avenue, where the Stage ran OFF the
road, upset, and was smashed literally to a
toms. There were, we believe, six passen-
gers besides the driver, most Of whom were
more or less injured, but some ofthem severe
= ". The driver, MIR. Bell, very worthy man,
is supposed to have been most hurt, having
one of his arms broken, and one OF his thighs
fractured, besides other injuries. MIR. Hath
way, of Vermont, an entire stranger here, had
his arm broken, and was otherwise hurt Mr..
n. O. Tyler, of this city, (who had the bad
luck to have got out at the door OF his own
dwelling, but afterwards re-mounted to go
down to his ofiice,) was also much injured.
The Messenger who has arrived from Colon
bia, with the ratification by that government
of the Treaty with the United States, was also
in the Stage and slightly hurt. 1t is hoped
that none of the lives of the hurt persons are
IN danger. :,
oftwo persons who escaped unhurt, one had
been pursued by the other on charge OF
theft, and when the accident happened, was
arrested and carried before magistrate, by
whom we understand he was committed to
prison.
Z RicHARD C. ANDERSON, Esq. Minister to the
Colombian Republic, arrived at Washington
on "Wednesday afternoon.
The New-York American says, that Mr..
