CAPTURE OF MORE THAN 500 INDIANS CON-
F1RmED.-By letters received at Savannah
on the 9th, the capture Of a large body of
Seminoles by Gen. Jesup, is confirmed.
Gen. Jesup had arranged with one of the
chiefs to meet him in council on the Goth ult.,
but they failed to attend, and from the dri-
wing of ponies and other indications, he
suspected they were preparing to fly to the
swamps. Col. Twig of the End dragons,
succeeded in capturing every individual on
the morning of the Dist.
There we're upwards of 500 men, women,
and children, and among them were $50
warriors. There were also taken l59 ne
groes, about 40 of whom were capable of
bearing arms.
Gen. Jessup, up to the 9th Mar, was bu-
silly employed in disposing of his prisoners,
SO as to be able to push South to join Col.
Bankhead, who was in full pursuit of Sam
Jones, and with some prospect of overtak-
ing Hmm Y. Express.
HARD MoNEY.-In China, ten cents day
is the utmost that a day lahorer can save for
his support if he works ever SO hard. But
China is gold and silver country-a "per-
ish credit" country-where no men "trade
on borrowed capital" for the Government
will not give any poor man chance to 60
ahead, in that way. 1t is country blessed
with currency purely metallic, and its in
habitants are wretched and degraded, and its
prosperity stationary. Mr.. Van Buren,
would make a very good Emperor of China,
with his narrow views about the financial
policy of all Governments namely, for the
Crown to hoard the metals and take care of
itself and family, and leave the people to
take care of themselves,-to feed or starve
as it pleased the bounty Of Heaven. We
wish he would 60 to China forthwith.

Windsor (VL) Bank.-We caution or read
ers against receiving the bills of this bank, at
almost any price. Aparagraph has appear
ed in the papers. stating that after its failure,
a committee of the citizens of Windsor, look
ed into its affairs, and pronounced it solvent
and the bills good. But gentleman of this
town who has Just returned from Windsor,
informs us, that facts have since come to
light, showing very iniquitous course of
on the part of the President,
who has had almost entire control of its
funds for many years and an utter rotten
ness in the affairs of the Bank. twas a Pet
Bank, and the President, Thomas Emerson,
was Pension Agent 1t turns out, although
he was reputcd to be rich, that he is deep
bankrupt; that he owes the Bank q great
sum, which he has used in speculation in new
lands and merchandise. The losses sustain
ed by business men in Windsor by this ex-
plosion, has caused number of failures and
Il great depression of business. 1t is thought
the business of that place will not recover
from the shock in many years. Poor people
have also suffered severely. One pension
er's widow had all her living, few hundred
in these bills. Almost every body in the
place had some OF these bills. Such was the
excitement against Mr.. Emerson, that he was
burnt in effigy, and it was found necessary
to guard his house, to protect him from per-
sonal violence.-Springfed Republican.
We published short time since, para
graph from the Washington Madisonian, in
which the editor of that paper stated, that he
had learned from an authentic source, that a
part, if not the whole, of the delegation in the
House of Representatives from Connecticut,
looked upon the result of the election in that
state, as clear indication of the sentiment of
the people against the sub-treasury plan,
and that the said delegates will vote against
it in any shape. That the election shews the
state of public opinion respecting that meas
ure. is beyond all controversy. The tissue"
was specifically made by the Loco Foco par
ty, and the people have, inthe most emphat-
ic manner, decided il. Therefore, if the del
egation from this state are disposed to prac-
tice agreeably to their own doctrines, they
will pursue the course that the Madisonian
points out, and oppose the sub-treasury when
over it may be presented to them.
five are not mistaken, some years since.
when Mcssrs. Tomlinson and Foot were
members fthe senate, those gentlemen were
no' sufficiently orthodox for the leaders of the
democracy then in vogue and as 1t was
thought that they did not reach the true stan.
dard OF the party, they were loudly called
upon TO resign, and make room for others
who were more sound IN the faith. Upon
the Same principle, and according to the
sanno rule, the present senators and repre-.
are IN duty bound, either TO vote
against the sub.trcaaury, and oil other Loco
Foco measures. or resign their places. and
return 20 "the bosom 0f their constituents"
