and a most tyrannical mistress she
is,-compelling people to submit to
the most inconvenient things imagin-
able, for fashions sake.
She pinches our feet with tight
shoes, or chokes us with a tight neck
|erchief, or squeezes the breath ont Of
our body by tight lacing. She makes
people sit up by night when they OF
to be in bed; and keeps them in bed
in the morning, when they ought to
be up and doing. She makes it vul-
lgar to wait upon ones self, and gen.
|teel to- 1--we idle and useless. She
makes people visit when they had
rather stay at home, eat when they
are not hungry. and drink when they
are not thirsty.
She invades our pleasure, and in
|terrupts our business.
She compels people to dress gaily,
whether upon their own property or
that of others, whether agreeable to
the word of God or the dictate of
pride.
She ruins health, and produces sick
ness; destroys life, and occasions
premature death.
She makes fools ofparents, invalids
|of children, and servants of all.
She is q tormentor Of conscience, a
Idespeiler Of morality, and an enemy
lOf religion; and no one can be her
Icompanion and enjoy either.
She is a despot Of the highest grade,
full Of intrigue and cunning, and yet
husbands, wives, fathers, mothers,
sons, daughters, servants, black and
white, have voluntarily become her
|obedient subjects and slaves, and vie
with one another to see who shall be
the most obsequious."

We refer our readers to the remarkable
statement made by Mr.. WEBSTER, in the Sc.
nate, on Thursday the 18th inst. as to the
condition and liabilities of the Deposit Banks
1t is taken entirely from tables transmitted by
the Secretary of the Treasury, formed from
the returns Of the Banks themselves; and not
fact, or an inference, startling as they were,
stated by the Senator from ssachusetts,
could be denied or paliated BY the friends of
the Administration in the debate that follow
ed. Results quite as remarkable as these,
drawn from the same tables, are furnished by
MIR. CLAY, in his speech on this subject, a
National Intelligcncer. Here then arc thir-
ty-ive banks, whose aggregate capital is on
ly forty-two millions of dollars, in debt to the
Government for thirty millions of deposits,
which before the expiration of the year may
be increased to fifty millions. In some in
stances the deposte exceeds the capital more
than three to one, and in one instance more
than five to one! The capital of the Savings
Institution at Louisville, for instance, is stat
ed to be $96, 460, whilst the sum of 1887
337 ,43 was deposited to the credit of the
Treasury besides the sum of $50, 500 SO on
account of private depositors. OF the two
banks in Michigan, one has a capital ofS4l9,-
100 80, and the sum of Ss2s69S 60 in public
deposites, and the other a capital of S15O,OOO
and Public Deposites to the amount of S7S4,-
764 rs !! "If we look at the commercial me.
tropolis of the Union, where nearly ten mil
lions of public money are deposited with
three banks, in every instance the amount of
the public deposite exceeds the capital of the
bank"
The total liabilities Of the thirty five banks
amount to the enormous sum of nearly seren.
ly-e'gh millions ofdoliars; and to meet these,
lhey have ten millions in specie--aJom one
aofldr IN eight The principal part of their
other means consists Of notes discounted, and
bills ofexchange egotiated.-"Tfther come

The banks would have to furnish this supply,

A writer in yesterdays paper thinks we
have done an injustice to ID. }. Peurce, IN
stating that the bill for the reliefof the N. Y,
merchants was ordered to third reading by
minority of more than forty votes, nOtwith-
standing his high flown oratory, when in fact
the speech was made after that vote, and pre-
vious to the final passage Of the bill by ma
jorty of 10 or 90. 1t may be, that we have
not sufficiently distinguished between the
three prodigous efforts of our accomplished
Representative coming, we presume,
from the same region Of the bathos, which
Kennon, of Ohio, formerly appropriated to
Pearce~-but according to his own friends
account ofit-according to the letter writer's
in his favor, his great and mastery argument
that blow, which, ifhis fatterers were to be
believed, was TO Kill The bill, was made at the
time we assigned for the speech, and to which
the House responded by minority Of AZ. If
any suppose, who ever heard p. speak, that
the sound and fury signifying nothing which
marked his performance before the passage
Of the bill, had the effect to change single
vote on that queston,we give them credit for
more gulblity than is common in this lati-
tude.
AS to the neutrality of the New Bedford
Gazctte, which is cited as an authority in
Pearcc's faeor,we should ns soon think Speak
ing Of its character for the last three months)
of quoting the Boston Morning Post, or the
Globe itself, for that safe and respectable
quality, as our thriving and industrious cotem-
porary Of New Bedford. A more thorough
going advocate of all the beauties of Van Bu-
renism, Antimasonry and Jacksohisn united,
is not to be found, we conceive, in any city
of the land.

I "SIR:-I have just set out for Fort Drane,
via Gary's Ferry, on Black creek, with two
companies of regulars, and intending to take
with me from the latter place the small but
talon o! mounted Georgians, (hcretoforc
mentioned,) under the command of MAJOR
Douglass. Lieut.. Colonel Bankliead is ut
the head Of the first detachment, and the two
together may make total of abont 2IO.-
But even this small force may be important
to rescue Major General Gaines.
\ ~ had not received the slightest informa-
tion OF the operations on the Withlacoochee
lofhclal or otherwise Of later date than the
18th ult. up to this morning; and had conclu-
ded that he had effected his march, with more
or less success, against the enemy, upon
Tampa Bay, when, at daylight, the steamer,
that am now in, arrived, and brought the
rumor which is confirmed by the two accom-
panying notes from Paynaster Lyle, re-
ceved about six hours afterwards. On the
reception Of the rumor | Immediately com
mcnccd preparations for this movement, but
being delayed by the necessity of unlading
and relading the boat, am now at anchor at
the mouth Of Black creek. hope TO put the
troops in march, from Gary's Ferry, early in
the day tomorrow, and to reach Fort Drane,
with small escort, the day following. 1t s
possible that even these little dctachments of
horse and foot may reach the Withacoochcc
IN time to render a valuable service.
The two letters from paymaster Lytlc, re-
ferred to by Gen. Scott, are dated the 5th and
the 9Th of March. The first merely an.
nounces that General Clinch was on the move
with the forces under his command to escort
supplies to General Gaines.
The second reiterates this informa,ion;
states that no intelligence had been received
either from General Gaines or General Clnch,
since the 5th; and continues as follows.
When Gen. Clineh lefl here he expected
to BE- back on the 9th The probability is,
that the wagons will return without an escort.
there being at present no troops here; and
should Gen. Clinch get back before the wag-
ons depart, his men may be too much ia
tigued to march again Immediately; and this
Of course is merely conjecture. ] am satis-
fed, however, that Gen. Clinch wonld advise
that an escort accompany the wagons back to-
This place when reloaded.

Clnch to send back the wagons for supplies
After their arrival here, will send them to-
