NEW IRON STEAM BOAT.
augusta, Sept. 9

augusta, sept. :.
On Thursday night last the splendid new
iron Steam Boat Chatham, arrived here
from Savannah, being the first trip she has
ever made. She belongs to the Steamboa,
Company, and is undoubtedly the finest
Boat ever on the savannah River. For
safety against snags and other distractions
in the river she is certainly of the very best
construction that could possibly be devised.
Her hold is divided into four separate ap.
partments. the partitions being Of very
thick sheet iron and perfectly water-tight,
so that ifshc should snag or spring leak,
only that apartment in which the accident
occurs, can be filled with water, and only
the treightin that particular apartment can
b. injured.

OFFICIAL DEcoRUN.-The otilcla! paper
ofthe Government commences its leading
article of Yesterday thus:
"Mr. Calhoun, who never tod the truth
when s.falsehood would serve his turn.
When we consider who and what has
been this Mr.. Calhoun, who is, from the
very portals of the palace, thus branded, a
man twice elected the second officer Of the
Republic-who has presided over the Sen
ute of the United States eight years, and Is
vet one of its most distinguished members
who has been ever honorcd by his own
State-and who whatever differences may
have existed in regard to his political opin-
ions, has ever been respected for his per.
sonal virtues-when we look at the individ-
ual thus assailed, and then consider the
source from which so gross an insult ema-
mates, it affords striking proof of the de-
teriiorated condition of the public taste,
which can receive with favor and appreciation
such an outrage on decency.

Singular Though.-The Philadelphia
Saturday News says, that the architect Of
one of the prisons in that city, was lately
told bya prisoner that he did not know his
business, or he would not have built the
cells for solitary confinement square, for
said he, there is something to break the

The Supreme Court Of Massach usetts have
decided that a slave carried, or going to that
State with the consent of his master, becomes
free; and is entitled to the protection of the
State. The question came before the court in
the case ola girlcarried before it by writ ofhG-
beas corpus, who had been carried to that
state as a servant from New Orleans. The
clause of the constitution which provides for
the delivery of fugaires, does not, in the opin-
ion of the court apply to the case.

INTERVIEW WITH MARIA MoHK.-A
highly interesting pamphlet, reporting con-
versalon between Maria Monk and the Mon
treal Priests. Mr.. Jones, the edior Of the
"L'Ami du People," and Mr.. Leclerc, has
Just been published. and will obtain uni
versal attention. These gentlemen are
now in this CITY. bringing out rciutation
of her Awful Disclosures" with affidavlts,
&C., but every body will speedily see
through the whole of this attempt. From
circumstances which have come to cur
knowledge within this last day or two, we
can assure such of our readers as coincide
in our opinion OF Maria Monks book, that
the truth of her disclosures will soon be es-
tablished beyond all possible refu'afion, and
that the great body of Catholic Christians,
will themselves be convinced Oft. dnot!ter
Person, who has been in the lIo,el Dieu
Convent, from early youth, but has now cs-
capped from it, will prove tha: Maria Monk
was but an infant in the knowledge of the
horrible atrocities of that Pandemonlum of
miquity, and will expose them under ad-
vantages which Maria Monk did no: posses.
We formed our opinion Of the "Awtul Dis
closures" from the internal evidence of fthe
work, which VIC perceive to be beyond the
reach Of any ingenuity, and we now know
that it is true. The public, universally,
will be Of our opinion in a very short time
Notwithstanding the temporary effect which
may be produced by the retutations Of it
which Mcssrs.: .!ones and Leclcrc are about
to publish. Her story is true, and will be
proved to be so, beyond all rational doubt.
In the mean time we would recommend the
peusal of "lnterview, &C."
Upon the above the Christian ln:elligcn.
Ger of n. York remarks as follows:
The statement of the Sun is not without
foundation, though it would have been as
well if nothing had been said of the matter
until investigation had gone farther. |, is
true, however, that a letter was received
last week from respectable gentleman at
Rome, n. Y. stating that a young woman
was at his house. who said she had escaped
from the Hotel Dieu Nunnery, at Montreal, ,
and that her account of the niquity practised
there, more than sustained the lawful Dis
closures" of Maria Monk. The young
woman has been brought to this city, and,
VIC are told, is person of intelligence and
accomplishments. A thorough examination
as to the truth of her prcteusions will be
made, and the public will probably be in
formed of the result. The occurrence has
of course excited considerable interest as
far as It has been known.

From the Pensacola Gazette. Aug. 90.

About the middle of last month, General
Gaines sent an officer ofthe United States
Army into Texas to reclaim some deserters.
lie found them already enlisted in the Tex
an service to the number oftwo hundred.
They still wore the uniform of our Army,
but refused, of course, to return. The
commander of the Texan forces was appi.
cd to to enforce their return; but his only
reply was, that the soldiers might go, but he
had no authority to send them back. This
is a new view OF our Texan relations.

pected from it. That the subject Is OF the
first Importance, an must admit: and |
participate fully in the apprchensions so
extensively entertained and so freely en-
pressed as to its effects. But T do not des-
pair. Often as we have seen our political
horizon overcast with portentous clouds,
and d.the safe conduct ofpublic uffairs beset
by combinations which, to all appearance,
could not be overcome, we have never
vet seen the time when those doubts and
difficulties were not finally and satlSfac-
torily cleared away by the operation OF
this powerful corrector. Such, | doubt
not, will be the result now; and such, in
the nature Of things, must it always be, as
long as the people are uncorrupted and
our institutions free. Prejudice, passion,
and sciishness, may rule the hour, and
give direction to public questions, when
the controlling power rests in a single
head, or in few individuals whose posi-
tion exempts them from the injurious ef-
fects of official errors: but this can seldom
happen, when that pomer exists only, as
is the cause with us, in the great body OF
we'll informed and vir;uous communities,
who are to bear the consequences wheth-
er for good or for evil, Of public measures.

ATTEMPT TO STEAL SANTA ANNA.
By the arrival of the schr. julius Cesar,
from Brazoria (Texas,) we learn that the
schr. Passiac, Capt. Hughes, hence for
Galveston, was seized for having on board
several persons from New Orleans, who
made an attempt to steal Santa Anna and
take him to Mexico in said schooner.
The persons were arrested and imprisoned
before their plans were properly matured.
THE American Commissioner, Polnsett,
had left Valasco for Galveston Island, he
has sent dispatches for his Government by

Temperance among Indians:-..A cores.
pondent of the Christian Mirror, relates this
anecdote
can Indian of another tribe, sometime
ago, brought a keg of whiskey to distribute
among the Weas. A Wea Chief named
Charley, seized the keg, and with his toma.
hawk broke the head and poured the con.
tents upon the ground. He observed after.
wards, that the grass was killed where the
whiskey was split, and seemed to conclude.
that if i. was so prejudicial to vegetable life
it might also be to animal life---a rational
conclusion truly, which may afford lesson
to some who value themselves on a whittier
skin than Charley's. He declared that he
smell the devil three days, where the keg
was broken. A temperance society has
been formed with a considerable number oi
members.
