The Virginia CLAIMS The bill which has
passed the Senate bv unanimous vote, provides
for the adjustment Of the entire claim OF the State
of Virginia against the Uniled States. The Rich
mond Wing. in referring to this subject. some
weeks since. stated that the bill reported called
for the liquidation of these claims. pror'ded the
whole amount did not exceed about Se4O, 600.
This is not the case. The bill appropriates the

which the State of Virginia has already paid. and

but not vet paid. The bill further provides tor
the payment of the outstanding haif-pay claims
for which the State Of Virginia is bound. The
amount of these latter claims cannot be accurate
ly known. until they are presented. Bills are
also in progress, under the most favorable ausPI-
ces, providing for the payment of interest on ad.
vances made by Virginia during the last war, and
also for making up the deficiency Of the Virginia

 DEAR SIR "A violent ;lttackof fever has prevented me from noticing, at an earlier period, anartiele which appear ed in the last Gazette, on the subject of judge Dates removal from office; and II lsnot now my purpose to reply to the publication at length, but merely to notice that part of t which gives Cor rather, pretends to do so,) a eonversa- ton said to have taken place between Judge SEAReY and the Honorable Del egatc from Arkansas, Oil the morning afterthe last August election.
 Since my arrival here, l have seen and eonversed with Judge SEARcv, and also AIr. JAMES BOSWELL and Mf. Ea- NER, who were present at this celebrated con0ersataon, and they not only all con eur in sustaining my remarks, in q late Advocate, upon the subject of this re- flovai, but state distinctly and nnsqui- vocally, that Col. Sevier, on the morn- ing alter the election, and during his conversation with JudgeSEARcv. swore
  that Bates should be Ri1NfeVED.- Seyler also threatened that he would get up a petition. in Bates circuit, for hisrenosal, and Unnecessary, he would ae'1fe it ltoeseJ. My former remarks upon this subject, alluded 10 above, were. grounded upon information deri- vad lfiissoilaslaIf. JOHN RaxaaeI.n, ef t4is towif, q gentleman of high standing and veraeity.
 Thus, youscc, that Woodruff seock- and. bull story is wide of the mark--a mere fabrication. He set out with a determination to tell q lie, and has ac- eomplished hisobject. Whatmore can lbc expected ofa man who has not only been charged with perjury, but has been convicted at the. bar of public opinion.

the Grand Lodge Of Rhodc-Island.--
There were upwards of two hundred
members present from all parts of the
State. The procession was formed at the
masonic building at I 1 o'clock a. m. and
proceeded with an excellent Band Of mu-
sic, down Franklin and up Thamcs-str'ts
to the Cd Baptist meeting house, where
after very appropriate prayer by the
Rev. Mr.. Bcccher, and singing by the
choir under the direction Of col. Marsh,
an eloquent and highly interesting ora
tion was pronounced by Henry Y.CRAS-
sroS, Esq. which occupied upwards of
an hour in the delivery, and was listened
to throughout by very numerous audi
cncc with profound attention. 1t was

u. s. CONGRESS-

In thc Senate, on Monday, the 18th
several petitions and resolutions on the
subject Of the tariff were presented, al
against the project of the Secretary o
fhe Treasury. Several bills were order.
ed to a third reading.
In the House, after the transaction oi
some other important business, the tariff
bill was taken up, and various amend
ments offered. The motion to strike on,
the specific duty of 4 cts. per pound on
wool, gave rise-to an animated debate,
which was suddenly cut short by inior-
nation being received that the body OF
the Hon. MIR. Johnston, member Of the
house from Virginia, had just been TAX
en- from the water, nt Alexandria, and
that he came to his death by accidental
drowning.
In the Senate, Tuesday, the 10Th, a
message was received from the House ol
Representatives, announcing the deccasc
of the Hon. Charles G.. Johnston, a re.
prese entative in Congress from the State
Of Virginia, and that his funeral would
take place at four O'Clock in the after.
noon.

cd unanimously, That the members OF
the Senate attend the funeral Of the de-
ceased, and wear Grape around the left

spect for his memory.
On motion of Mr.. Tazewell, it was or
dcrcd that when the Senate adjourn, it
adjourn to meet at half past three o..
clock.
On motion of Mr.. Tazewcll, the Sc
nate adjourned.
In the House, after the Journal of the
preceding day was read, mr. Bouldin an
nounced to the House the deceasc of his
colleague Mr.. G.. G.. Johnston--nnd af-
ter paying a feeling tribute To his memo
ry, mr.. B. moved resolutions that the
House attend the funeral at 4 p. m, that
n Committee be appointed to supcrintcnd
the funeral rites, and that the members
of tho House wear Grape on the lcft arm
during the remainder Of the session.

fCPWc are reluctantly compelled to
defcrto our next paper, the remarks which
arc justly called for by the Infamous at
tack, in the Republican OF this week, on
the character Of Mr.. J. F. Simmons, Of
Johnston, and the gentlemen, who repre-
sent us in the General Assembly. The OBJ
ject aimed at by the author Of that libel,
is well understood by the freemen Of this
place, ~ho are fully a'rare Of his patriotic
intentions, and riH take e0eciual measures
TO meet Them in season. In the meantime,
it is due to the gentlemen implicated in
that publication, that the nature of
calumny should be1horoughly siited, and
this piiifM attempt 10 get beck inio office,
be placed upon the footing which its
mcnnness merits. A very few remarks
will suffice for this object; and we again
regret that the prc-occupation Of our CO.
Iumns is such as to prevent us from at-
tending Immediately to this duty.

not sufficient You must not only think,
but you must also act with us. Just en-

I han those whose career is already half

delivered in very animated and impress
sive style, and the frequent bursts ofap-
pIause from the audience afforded the hest
proof that it rcceived the appreciation Of
all who heard It. The orator commenced
by imprcssng upon the minds of his nti-
ditors, the duty Of man towards man, and
cautioned them against Judging them
selves favorably, and others with rigid,
unyiclding severity.-IIe defended in a
very able manner, the institution az ainst
the charges brought against it-made a
distinction between political and moray
anti-masons, according to the latter the
most respectful consideration showed in
various ways the unfairness by which ma
sons have been pursued by political anti
masons--referring to the fact that the
Tammany and other societies, confessed
lv and exclusively political in their or
ganizntion and action, were permitted to
exist without being prosecuted; s. dwelt
at some length upon the fact that the Ii
ccntious doctrines of Fanny Wright were
promulgated by her in this country, in
giving lectures, and by the presses which
she had established, against which no
excitement had been manifested--ad-
mitted that in the organization Of the So
clety facilities could be found which, in
the hands Of bad men, might be produc-
tive of mischicf-rcprobated in strong
terms the abduction of Morgan, and de-
clared that all their masonic obi igations
with which he was acquainted, were en-
tirely and absolutely subordinate to their
civil obligations. In conclusion,t the orator
declared with great earnestness that
"with all his attachment to masonry, his
prayer was, that whenever masonry
should come in conflict with the interest
or happiness Of his country, then let her
funeral kncll be soundcd-lct her die
with deccncy-let her be at rest-and
then"-he further observed-''let the
wicked cease from troubling"
After the services at the meeting -houso
were concluded, the procession again
formed, and proceeded down Farewell,
Marlborough, and Thames streets, and
up Church street to the Masonic Hall,
where they partook Of n most sumptuous
dinncr-all the good things ofthe season
were put in requstion, added to these
a fine turtle expressly procured for the
occasion, served up in the best style.
We avaicd ourselves of a very polite in
vitation to partakc Of the entertainment.
The Rev. Mr.. Wheaton was present and
addressed the Throne of Grace before
and after the feast. After the cloth was
removed, number Oftoasts were given,
an imperfect memorandum of which we
gathered at the time. Owing to our cir
cumscribed limits we are necessarily O.
bliged to omit thcm-Suiiicc it TO say
that the utmost harmony prevailed, and
nothing transpircd in the least degree
calculated to mar the enjoyment Of any
one present.
We understand that the Grand Lodge
have requested copy of the oration for
the press, and hope their request will be
accedcd to, as it cannot fail to be read
with great interest.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year:
