Vermont telegraph. [volume] (Brandon [Vt.]) 1828-1843, 1838-03-07

We are highly gratiEedto learn, from
the Nashville Union of the 18th. instant,
that General Jackson's health is so much
improved, that he can now leave his bed,
and that he is rapidly gaining strength.
No further danger from the present at
tack is apprehended. ..
A letter from the General himself dat
ed the 18th inst says: G. am compelled
to make use of an amanuensis, on account
of indisposition, occasioned by return of
my old complaint, hemorrhage from the
lungs. The present attack has been rath-
er severe one, but it has now stopped
and am feeling great deal better."-

Mr.. HAYNES, THE CoLoRED PREACH
ER.-As the late Mr.. Haynes was travel
ing in the STATE of Vermont, he fell in
company with peraon who soon discov-
cred himself to be an unprincipIed scotfer
! at eIigion, and in the course of converse
ton demanded what evidence he had for
believing the Bible.
why, SIR answered Mr. Haynes, the
Bible, which was written more than
thousand years ago, informs me that |
should meet just such man as YOURSELF
But how can you show that? returned
| the traveller.
why, sir, the Bible says, e Peter 3:
81 There shall come in the last days,
scofferS walking after their own lusts.'
FRENCH CoMMERCE.-It is stated that
the tonnage of French vessels employed in
the commerce Of that kingdom, is Gil ,94l
tons, while the tonnage Of tho United
States amounts to nearly 100000, and
that of Great Britain to 100000. The
shipping owned in Londoni is SIS 900 tons,
in NeW-York 100000 tons In Havre,
the most important seaport in France, the
shipping owned is 78,l87. in MarseiIes,
! 7l,414, in Bordeaux, 7I,O0l, in Nantz
5S,6O4 1t will therefore be seen that
more tons of shipping are owned in New
York, than in the four principal sedports
in France-and London owns almost as
much shipping as is owned in the whole
kingdom Of France.
The Daily Advertiser makes the fol-
| lowing striking remark upon the murder
of Mr.. CilIey:
owe are sorry to have occasion to record such
an atrocity as that which has deprived the House
of Representatives of one Of its members, by the
hand of another, aud in the presence, aud by the
encouragement and advice of thee or four 9TH
ers''
This Is the strong point in the case
that murder, growing out of words spo-
ken in debate, should be thus perpetrated
by members of Congress, almost as if it
were in the presence of the House ITSELF
Will any notice be taken of it? Will the
murderer or his associates be permitted 10
mingle with honorable men on the floor Of
Congress and caressed as heroes instead
of Stunned as assassins. This will be a
test point whether members of Congress
are hereafter to sustain themselves by NOR
al or physical force, by the tongue or the
pistol. Press.
