FROM WASHINGTON.

A letter from Washington, dated the 18th,
TO the editors Of the Cadet, remarks: "Mr.
Stevenson, Of Penn. you will have seen by the
papers, who is not Chairman Of The Committee
on Manufa %cturers, has given notice that he
shall call up the bill reported oy that Commit
tec, on Tuesday next. A greater insult could
not have been Offered TO Mr.. Mallary, tho
chairman"
FEBRUARY 15-You will see by the Intel
~ligenccr Of this morning, that the opposition
have attacked the whole system Of internal
improvement. II was made yesterday, while
the House was in committee Of the Whole, on
tho question Of oppropriating $50, 600, for
making surveys for the ensuing year. Mr..
Martin, of S. C. commenced the attack, and
was followed by Mr.. p. p. Barbour. They
both deny the power of Congress, to make
such appropriation. Then the question which
has been settled by former Congresses, is again
10 be discussed. Mr.. Buchanan refused TO be
harnessed into this discussion, with his Jackson
friends, but Mr.. Kremer, his colleague, err
planned his reasons for voting against the ap-
preparation. The question was not taken when
the House adjourned, and I think it more than
probable that it will not be for some days"

WADswoRTH's STEAM ENGINE.-Doctor
WADswoRTH, who, it will be remembered,
on a plan peculiarly his own, has established a
machine shop near the western environ of the
town, where he has put his engine in success
full operation. We have had the pleasure OF
witnessing the operations Of the engine, but as
we are not conversant with such affairs, W. will
not venture m opinion as 10 its merits. 1t has,
however, been examined by scientific gentle
men, and they have reported in its favor. AS
an evidence Of the correctness of the principle,
it is only necessary TO remark, that Doctor
Wadsworth, and his associates, have had or
ders for three engines Of the kind for the pro-
pelling Of steam boats.

DE WITT

The unlimely and unexpected demise, of the
distinguished individual, whose name heads
this article, has produced a sensation, rarely
felt in this country, where men are not decor
ated with the tinsel of court attire and tie
robes of royalty;-and it will in all human
probability, produce an effect on tho political
affairs of the nation, which will be d~cplored by
the few ,and ~rejoiced at by the many; partie-
ularly by those few, who look towards the at
tainment of national honors and political dis
tinctions, without caring hut little, how they
arc attained.
In noticing the dem.so Of this great man, we
will, if our readers will permit US to do so, pre-
sent a brief sketch Of his life and history, for
the correctness Of which, we rely upon data
and books, collected from sources which wo
believe can be depended upon as correct, and
entitled 10 the confidence of the public.
De Witt Clinton, was born in the county Of
Orange, 10 the state Of Ncw-York, in the year
1859"
''In 1884 he entered Columbia College and
~ INC CotntitchSCihtht W o"'S'S go
he received the honours Of the University
Early in the year 1885, he commenced the
study Of the law with Samuel Jones, Esq. a
celebrated counsellor in New-York. He re-
ceived the usual licenses or degrees, but did
not immediately commence the practice of the
Law. He was shortly afterwards appointed
secretary to his uncle, George Clinton, then
governor Of the State, in whose service he con-
tinued, during his administration, which ended
in 1895.
In 1897, he was elected a member OF tho as
sembly for the city Of New-York. During the
period Of his legislative career, he devoted a
largo portion Of his time 10 every subject which
had relation to the advancement of science;
the promotion Of agriculture; manufactures,
Inc the arts generally; the establishment of
tho credit Of our staple commodities in foreign
markets; the gradual abolition Of slavery; the
Encouragement OF steam boats; and the various
objects Of municipal improvement.
In February, 1902, he was appointed a SEN
alter Of the United States, in the place Of Gen.
sral Armstrong, who had resigned. lie con-
tinued an active member Of this body until De-
tober, 1909, when hs retired. having been
chosen mayor Of the city Of Ncw-York. In

Letter from Louisville Kentucky, dated

Letter from Louisville kentucky, dated
January 25th, says:
1.-THE delegates who went from this place
to attend the celebration Of the 9Th Of Janua-
ry at Ncw-Orleans, have just returned. 1t is
agreed that it was a sorry business all round,
and that a special share Of ridicule must fall
on the Kentucky delegation. They were
Kissed in the public street, and pointed at as
the cowardr who fled vigorously from their
post on the right bank of the river. II seems
that Gen. Jackson's official letter, so Aattering
to Tennessee, and so disparaging to Kentucky,
is still believed in New-Orleans, notwi,hstand
ing the old gentleman's efforts to smooth il
over, since he became a candidate for the
Presidency, and began 10 desire the vote Of

SUMMARY PnocEss.-A gentleman of this
town, who has an elegant country seat, not
many miles distant, has been exceedingly an
noyed by a race Of infamous vagabonds, who
depredate on his grounds, and destroy his
property. He has been at much pains TO cul-
tiva,c a delightful grove, and places npon it,
an almost inestimable value. The grove has
frequently been assailed by vasabonds, who
have occasionally cut down u tree; and as the
gentleman was not much inclined to have his
little forest destroyed, no, long since he placed
himself upon guard, to watcn the operations
of the dcstroyers Of his property. He had no:
been long in ambush, when two stout negro
men arrived at the grove, and commenced cut
ting down a couple Of the trees. The gentle
man spriuging from his hiding place, and seiz-
ing the rascals By the throat, ordered them TO
suspend their labours. The afrighied blacks
laid down Their axes, and begged for mercy.
Uader"tlnl me gentiemen, said the owner
Of the properly; this grove has becn depre-
dated upon for several months, and I have at
length resolved to detect and punish the ofcn
der. | have taken both Of you gentlemen, and
you may dopcud I have made up my mind
TO punish you, to the extent Of the law, and ]
shall either inoarceratc you in a prison, and
let the law have its course, or l shall fog you
severely myself. Situated as you are, l now
give you your choice, you may take a Jogging
at my hands, or 60 to Jail. One Of the two
things you must do, and you must decide imms-
diatcly.
The negroes said it was a hard case for
them ;~-tbat they only cone 10 take as much
wood, las their poverty and necessities demanded
and that they did not like the idea of going to
jail, and then being publickly whipped at the
whipping %post-that they were placed like the
donkey between two stacks Of hay-they
knew not how to decide, but if the the gentle
man would not strike too hard, they would
oonsen, to be whipped. Here the bargain was
cIoscd-the negroes of coats, and received
twenty two stripes, zach OH the bare back,
when they were suffered TO depart, by their
captor, and from that day to this, have no.
been heard off, and the grove has not been
any further molestcd.

Lotteries, under tho management Of Messrs.
Yates g. M'mtyre, will be sold by our wonders

THE WHALE. The Whale who has visited
General Jackson did at New-Orleans, still re-
mains within our little dominion, aud sports
and frolics with our fishes On Monday last,
he was pursued by four whale-boats, and twice
harpooncd, but the deadly shaft, was soon ex-
treated by the mammoth oc the deep.
Yesterday Messrs. Wilcox, Brown. and 9TH
crs. accompanied by four experienced whale
men, left town, in pursuit Of his whaleship
and ere this have probably taken him. as he
has been badly wounded. The whale is said to
be of the largest size, and whalemen who have
seen him, say that he will produce one hun
dred barrels of oil.
