THE AUGUST TREASURY CIRCULAR

We recall the attention of our readers TO the
article which we copied from the Baltimore Pa
triot, giving an account OF circular from the
treasury Department in August last authorz-
inc the receipt of Checks Of Disbursng Officers
as money at the Land Offices. That article
with our remarks preceding it, is copied into
the Globe of yesterday, with a comment, OF
which the following is the essential part:
"NorE BY THE GLoBE.-It is hardly necessary
"to add, what we learn on inquiry 10 NC Tue
So fact that the above statement, as 10 the con
"tenls of Treasury Circular, are utterly ''''''
from beginning to end"
When we copied the article from the Patron,
va Aid IL with some reservation. We asked,
dis II nossibie that the Treasury has issued such
, Circular2n The official paper peremptorlly
denies the statement of the Patriots cores
nondent We have it noo in our power, as we
now do, on the authority of Representative IN
Congress who has seen il, to re-attirm the ex-
istence of the said Circular: and We do, upon
the same authority declare, that, unless 1t shall
be sooner made public, copy OF II Will De NOV
ed for as early in the approaching Session OF
Congress as the rules of one or the other House
will hermit In the mean time we snail see
whether the official paper will or will not apollo
gize to the Secretary of the Treasury Tor the
dilemma into which it has dragged him, or TO
the public whom il has, upon official authority,
deceived aud misled on this occaslon-Naf. mr.
this morning makes sort Of denial OF the state
ment of om Louisville Correspondent in regard
to- the Treasury Circular. Its denial is intend
ed TO pass for more than it is worth-being We
nv much in character with the letter OF Hugh
Goodwin, Jr.n commenting on the Gordonsvle
philosophy and table talk of President Jackson
The simple reader, at first blush, might have
su3posed that Mr. Goodwin took the field to de,
nv, or did deny. the accuracy OF the report OF
President Jackson'S amiable expressions at that
place. But close inspection of his letter would
at oace shew that Mr.. Goodwin had no such in
tention or certainly that he failed to execute It.
And so it is with the Globe. The official print
"learns on inquiry that the statement OF our
Circular, are utterly false" &C. But why not
nublisb the Circulate Let the Globe do that, as
a Circular evidently has been issued, and then
every one can judge for himself as TO It's CON

terpreter. Let us have the text, and then, II

has been injured by the upsetting of the coach
in which he was travelling to Washington. The
accident happened in the neighborhood of Han

on his head, and slight confusion on his left
side, yet his surgeon was OF opinion that in two
or three days he might safely resume his jour
nev to Washington.

The editor of the Nashville Republican denies
the authenticity of the speech of MIR. Bell, which
we copied from the Murfreesborough paper
He AYERS that the report Of the speech "came
from no friendly quarter, with no friendly in
tent" He adds
ave were not present when the speech was
delivered, and cannot therefore speak from per-
sonal knowledge, but we have the highest au-
thority for saying that on that occasion, MIR.
Bell uttered no sentiment inconsistent with the
high character he has attained for manly firm.
ness and independence, or with the dignity of
the office he has recently received at the hands
OF the representative of the people,"
What that highest authority is, has not been
disclosed; and thus the denial rests on nothing
positive. A mere allegation from the editor Of
the Murfreesborough paper is WORTH probably,
quite as much as one from the Nashville editor.

Providence, Nov. l6.-Ths quiet city was, a
few days SINCE cast into state of unusual eX-
element, by reason of an assault, said to have
been made by young man on little ghl OF
the age Of ten years. The party accused is
said to be very respectable; and, the conse-
quence was, that the mother of the child found
it difficult to prevail upon the constabIes and
sherffs to serve capias on the offender. In
dignant at this delay ofjusiice, the mother, with
soul swelling with all the just Indignation OF a
parent, armed herself with brace Of pistols,
and herocally marching to the quarters of the
cuprit. demanded his surrender on pain of q
mothers vengeance. The young man quailed
before the fury OF the storm that threatened
him, and submitted to quiet capture. He was
the next day brought before board of Justi-
ces and after full examination of the case
was required to enter into heavy recognizance
for his appearance before the Supreme Court
OF the State, at its regular term next March
find that there is variety of opinions with re-
ference to the affair, but few persons believe the
young man to have been guilty.
