THE BANKRUPT BILL.
From The Richmond Uhie

II will be found that the Bankrupt Bill, upon
the fate Of which has hung the last hope OF a
portion of the community, and which has un-
dereone severe scrutiny and considerable dis
cussion during the present and some OF the pre-
ceding sessions, has been laid upon the table, at
the instance Of one Of its warmest advocates
there to rest till the next session OF Congress-
Without intending, at this time, to express any
opinion as to the constitutionality or expedien-
cy Of Bankrupt law, we cannot but regret
the summary disposition which has been made
Of the bill; the consequent disappointment Of
those interested in the subject; and the anxious
suspense which is again to be endured for the
next twelve months. We see no good reason
why this has been done. Time and pains have
been taken to mature the bill; and its provisions,
it is believed, must be well understood. Con-
sidering the zeal with which the friends OF the
measure have advocated its merits in the Sem
ate, We have just ground for believing that the
threat of Mr.. r. has had the desired effect she
observed, if those with whom he had been act
ing persevered in support of such law as the
one under consideration, he would quit them
forever. SO help him God, he never would
vote with them again upon any question what
ever He would not vote with the administra-
ton; but never, never, would he vote with any
men that gave their sanction to that bill: and if
the bill passed, he would not vote for Andrew
Jackson. He gave them that warning, he said,
and so help him God, he would adhere to his
determination" What could not be done by
argument, has been effected by management.
The partizans of Mr.. Calhoun and Gen. jack
son, fearing the desertion Of Mr.. Randolph
from their ranks, have permitted interested
and ambitious views to get the better Of their
patriotism. That they have yielded TO these
motives, is apparent from their conduct. All
the fond expectations Of the friends of the bill,
and the high hopes which have been recently
excited, by the attention Of Congress to the
subject, have, by the unworthy influence of one
individual, and the treachery of an inconsider-
able party, been annihilated. We repeat, we
can see no good ground for disposing OF the
bill in this manner. The reason assigned by
Mr.. Hayne is plausible, but not true. The
House of Representatives. were anxious to act
upon the subiect--the Senate, from the full dis
cussion which it had undergone, must have
been prepared to give final vote; and justice
to the unhappy individuals interested in bank
rupt law, required that final disposition should
have been made of the bill during the present
session of Congress. The people ofthe Unit
ed States will Judge the agents in this transac-
ton, and bestow upon them suitable reward.

lancing bars, climbing stands, poles, & ropes;
machines for strengthening the muscles OF the
arms and legs; for acquiring the power OF sup
porting the weight of the body in various po-
sitions.
A dynamometer has been constructed, by
which the strength Of every part ofthe body can
be ascertained, and its increase. The strength
of each student is determined at stated periods,
and recorded by the monitors in books kept for
that purpose, by reference to which the grad
ual augmentation Of physical power is satisfac-
torily shown, and an inducement offered Tor the
continuance of these exercises.
The monitors are instructed every evening,
and thus keep in advance Of their sections.

was \agreed that Gen. RoDIL and his principal

British frigate Tartar, at the expense OF the
government Of Peru, and that the troops OF the
garrison should be set at liberty Rodil had
previously placed all his money and effects on
board that friga.e, and only about the sum OF
$4,000 was found in the treasury. The propo-
sition for the surrender, was made by Rodil,

CUMBERLAND ROAD.

II appears from documents laid before Con-
grcss by the Secretary of War, that the. Cum
berland Road is in a state Of rapid decay, and
unless speedy appropriations be made by Con-
eress fer its repair, its total destruction is neVi-
table. This road forms the great link between
the Atlantic and the West, and at the present
moment it becomes more necessary than 1t has
ever been, to have it kept i'll constant repair
At the last session there was great unanimlty
displayed in Congress for the extension OF the
road through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, TO the
Mississippi river; but this would be but an idle
expense, if what is already completed over the
mountains is suffered to go 10 decay. We shall
be told, perhaps, that this will not suit that
rage for economy Of which we hear so much at
the present day; but let it be remembered, that
the worst species of prodigalty is that which
undertakes the accomplishment of project OF
unquestionable utility, and after advancing with
spirit, suspends all further proceedings-squan-
dering the treasures of the people, and then re-
fusing to finish what has beer already begun.
National roads and national canals are alike
necessary for the accomplishment Of national
prosperity. No public work whatever, is more
truly national than the Cumberland Road.

Philadelphia, May Son Thursday morning
last, cause was commenced in the court OF
over and terminer and continued until Saturday
afternoon, exciting during its progress very
considerable public interest. Edward Russell
was charged with the murder Of James Nc
Cafferty, and Margaret Hagerty was charged
as an accessory after the fact. The transaction
took place on the Sd of February last, between
% and O'Clock in the morning, in the street,
in front of James Hagerty's tavern in Fitth.st.
from Schuylkil, between Chestnut and Market
streets. Russell killed McCafferty by striking
him on the head with pair Of iron tongs. Nc
Cafferty had been all the preceding evening
from 8 O'Clock on sleighing lrollc with two Of
his friends. After the charge of the Court the
Jury retired, and after some time returned with
a verdict finding Russell guilty of murder in
the second degree. The jury then told the
court that as to Mrs. Hagerty, they considered
her guilty of concealing Russell after the COM
mission of the act, she not knowing the MUIR
der to have been perpetrated; and asked for
further explanation on tina, point. The jury
were informed by the court that unless she
knew of the felony at the time she concealed
the principal, she could not be convicted as an
accessory The jury then found her not guilty
as she stood. indicted.

Syracuse May She season is rapidly ap
preaching when Niagara Falls will attract null
titudes from all parts Of the Union, 10 contem-
plate its grand and magnificent scenery. On
his way thither, the traveller will meet with
many objects which are worthy OF attention.
The principal object, which this village can
present for his examination, is its coarse salt
fields, which occupy large acre OF ground in
its immediate neighborhood. A distance OF
only one mile, separates Syracuse from Salina,
where the springs are situated, and where STU
pendous works Nave been erected, for the pur-
pose of raising the salt water from the well into
the reservoirs, which supply the different man
ufactories. If the traveller is curious in abort
ginal character, he may visit the Onondasa In
dian village, where the last of war-like race
exc out a miserable and degraded existence.
This spot is few miles south from this village,
and was once the place of Council OF the Uni:
ted Six Nations On his way thither, he will
pass the ground where the destructive battle
was fought between Gen. Sullivan and the On
ondagas, in which the latter were defeated and
great numbers Of them driven into an adjoining
marsh. This tribe, though one OF the most
warlike and powerful branch VI the lroquois, is
now the mo st abandoned and degraded OF the
Six Nations. Gdzefte.J

Indian Murders-We are informed, by gen.
tleman who arrived here OIL board the steam
boat Mexico, on the 9th instant, from Prairie
du Chen, that, on the god March, about nine
miles above Fort Crawford, MIR. Mitod, his
wife, and three children, were murdered by
party of Indians, supposed TO be the Wineba-
goes Not satisfied with the lives OF the unior-
tunate victims, they burnt The camp with part
of the dead, and committed on the body OF the
murdered female, who was in state OF preg-
nancy, deeds Of savage barbarity, too shocking
TO be related. Mr.. M il is believed, made
manly defence, as two Of the saoagss were bu-
ried the next morning after the occurrence, sup
posed to have died Of their wounds.
The civil authorities, we hear, with much Gre
dit to themselves, and that promptitude which
the occasion required, Immediately apprehend-
ed twenty four of the offenders, and, upon ex-
animation, discharged twelve, and returned
twelve for further trial. So far, so good. But
will Justice be done? If convicted, will the MUIR
derers be executed? or, according to former pre-
cedent, will their Great Father, the President,
pardon the horrid crime, and return them to the
arms Of their savage companions, at liberty to
repeat the bloody deed. The trial before our
aua authorities; the condemnation and pardon 81
guilty savage is, in our opinion, a most shame
full moekery of Justice, and evidently founded in
. most mistaken notion of the Indian character.
