w WASHINGTON, OCL. lltn, lOOf. The Sub-Treasury Bill, you sec, is before the House. The passage of the Bill is by no means certain, even ifthe House should come to vote upon tho Bill, which is by no means certain. The Whig members of the House can easily defeat the Bill, by consuming the time of the House in showing the impractica- bility and absurdity, as well as tho wicked ness of tho scheme recommended by the President of the United States and the other branch of Congress, to the House of Repre- sentativca.

That Mr. Calhoun had at that time and ever since, so far as he (Mr: Southard] knew. been regarded as one ot the most active and Zcalous friends of a bank and his notions against its constitu- tionality and expediency, were unknown to his fellow citizens. If the Senator was now correct m his statements, it became him speedily to write anew that period of tho his- tory of the country and of his own actions for there was general, and he believed uni versal, misunderstanding throughout the na- ton in regard to both.
 This is brief outline of MT. Southard's s re- ply to Mr. Calhoun's statement In that re- ply he entered more into detail, and referred to dates.
