BANK OF THE UNITED STATES

More than ninety days have elapsed since
the Bank of the United States stopped pay
ment, and what is more, it continues to
refuse to make the monthly returns requi-
red by its charter. What will our ,OiSe
and patriotic Governor do in this case!
Will he fulfil the promise so boastfully
made in his proclamation, and see that the
laws are faithfully complied with, or will
the will and behest of Mr.. Biddle? We
assert, without fear. that he will not dare to
take any steps by which the interests of the
Mammoth Bank may be compromised or
jeopardised. He was elected by the infu-
ence Of the Bank, and in return has sold
himself to be one of the veriest slaves that
moves upon the earth. Poor Pennsylva-
mia, how art thou degraded

A Court Martial was recently held &.
Union, Fayette county-President, Il
Witliam Redrick, for the trial of Cat
Samuel Snider, of the 9th COMPANY q
the general charge of misbehaviour. Il
specifications were, that on training De-
he appeared as a "fantastical''- his "ta
bLacked and his person otherwise riic
lously, shamefully, and unofficer-like 90
coutred;" and that he countenanced On.
permitted three other persons disguised n
accoutred in the like ridiculous manner s
appear on parade at the same time"
On all the specifications he was foun
guilty, and the Court sentenced him to b
''cashiered and rendered incapable of ho..
ing commission for the term of 7 years
Brigadier General James c. Cummng
confirmed the sentence of the Court and de-
clared the Captaincy of the 9th Compaol
vacant.
This is right. The details of our Mil.
tia System are defective and ought to b.
improved, but those engaged in bringin,
the whole system into disrepute, should b
punished whenever the law can reach then

We have seen several statements pub
