Gen. Jeesup and The Indians,-A letter
from Gen. Jesup, urging the Government,
to cease its offensive war against the Semi
nolcs, and to make peace with them on
some terms-lhey being willing and enger
to accept of any condition which shall not
exact their native lands going the rounds
of the newspapers. The General--who,
~iicn seeking to supplant Gen. Scott,
promised confidently that he would end The
war in campaign--now alleges tina, they
cannot be driven out of Florida BY any
force which can be brought to bear upon
them! Their Businesses are unassailiabe
their swamps are impene'rablr, and their
country is utterly uninhabilabe oy white
men if they were possessed ofit. We bave
committed great Mistake, says the Gen.
.eral, in going to war for n country which
we cannot get, and which would be worth
less 10 US if we had il. Not 4 word of al.

WASHINGTON. March 81.

In my letter Of the 25'h, expressed an
opinion that the Senate Sub>Treasury bill,
in its present form. could not pass the
House. A vote has been taken this morn
ing calculated to confirm that opinion.
Ailef he bill was read, Mr.. Cambreeng

Ways and Means; whereupon some infor
NAL conversation ensued. and then Mr..
Patton moved to lay IT on the table. THIS
is one Of the questions which does not ad

whereupon he member from Georgia (Mr,

From The 81. Louis Com. Buiein.

1t with feelings Of profound regret that read the
late letter of Mr. Calhoun We have ever accorded to
him sincerity and honesty Of purpose, amid all his
wild and feariul doctrines of notification, and still be-
lieved him incapable Of, and above deception. When
he stood forth with Clay and Webster the champions of
the opposition, battling against the lawless usurpatons
OF the executive, thought that he led on, and
fought alone for principle but his subsequent conduct
and published opinions, must lessen our faith in his pa
triotism and compel us to wapcr in our confidence
We may truly say that "a great has fallen in Is
rael will not say by the allurements OF proered or
anticipated Office, too charitable for that, but by
way Of illustration we will give few extracts. In it
we find the following:
"As soon as saw the state Of things, clearly per-
ccived, that very important question was presented
for determination, which compelled to de-
eide forthwith shall continue our Joint attack with
the Nationals power, in the position which they
have been compelled to occupy 1t was clear, with
Joint forces, could utterly overthrow and, demo-
lish thom but it not less clear, that the victory
would inuc, not US, but exclusively to the benefit of
our allies and Their cause"
It seems then that Mr.. Calhoun pondcrcd over the
propEcy and policy OF leaving his late friends and
induced to desert because he thought they would reap
all the fruits Of victory The wings spoke Of him
as candidate for the Presidency, there others
whose clams were better founded hopes Of advance
ment was held out, and he was weared of upholdng
Improbable cause. Had the victory however pro-
wise, but the President wanted help to sustain his
tcrng administration, and this distinguished Senator,
like Corioanus Of Roman memory, is found in the ranks
of enemies The nnsued star of his fame has set,
his name has lost its magic, and whilst that of Clay will
tighten up nations sky, and stand above suspicion,
where, yes where will has be! We will not follow it
amid that night OF gloom which awaits tin charity
will think Of his past and Of his future liz TRUTH
such course, looks too much like selfish ambition,
there is nothing in IT, of that stern integrity which
rlgal ha b,a G,lIa ~
place, IN the hearts OF his counrymen From being the
friend, he has suddenly become the bitter foe Of the
Nationals, and he will now throw himself into the arms
OF party, which for years has poured upon him the
phas Of its wrath But the pure and elevated thoughts
which have fred his heart, will not cheer HIM now ; a
Roman renegade the Roman patriot. To
use figure Of Mr. Webstero, he has fallen into mo-
rass, but he will no longer struggle like strong
-qncksands are beneath hm--he has principle for
his basls, and he mast sink. The morning Of his life
gave promise Of coming triumph; the tgais fdtuus Of
notification FIRST sulled his prospects, but his late de-
seruon has ioryvor and entirely ruined them.

In our last paper stated that we concurred in OPT

General Government should bear portion of the blame,

have not brought mind to this conclusion because

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.

A slip from the Office of The Louisville Advertiser
contains the details of an attempt to rob the Mocha
mics Savings Institution Of that place which ended
in murder and suicide.
The treasurer, H. S. Julian, had gone to dinner,
leaving the first clerk o. NJ. Parker, in the bank.
Alter the treasurer left 1t Clarendon l.. Dicks
was admitted into The institution by Mr.. Parker,
who had been acquainted with Dicks from boyhood
Under what pretext Dicks entered, or how he acted
Immediately after obtaiping admission, must be mat
ter OF conjecture. Ii appears, however, that Mr.
Parker was killed at his desk by blow with The
hammer used in cancelling notes paid
He was struck on the top Of the head, and the
hammer buried to the handle in his brain, AT this
instant IL is supposed Dicks commenced his search
for money, as drawer, in which bank notes are
usually kept, was found partly drawn out-when Mr.
Julian the treasurer, arrived and knocked al the door
of the building Dicks opened the door admitted
Julian, shut the door again, and commenced at at
tack upon him with the hammer with which Parker
had been killed Julian, unapprsed of what had
occurred, parted the blows aimed al him. and begged
Dicks to pause, assuring him that he was mislak-
en- Dicks continued the asSdult-making blow after
blow-until Mr.. Julian had an opportunity TO seize
the hammer, when in struggling with his adversary
Julian fell but not without wrestling the hammer
from Dicks Deprived Of The hammer Dicks began
to feel for his pistol. The aim Of Dicks was seen,
and as Julian rose from the floor he discovered Par
ker lying dead in the room. Suddenly Julian raised
chair threw II at Dicks and thus gained time TO
rush out of the door, and gave the alarm to some two
or three persons in the immediate neighborhood.
AT this moment, Dicks, finding detection was in
evitable, raised the pistol to the side of his head,
and shot him self
Mr.. Julian though badly wounded on the head and
face IS not considered dangerous. Parker was cut
of in The prime of life, leaving TN Interesting wife

announced short time since that they would hold

upon this subject but the use Of The HAL was denied

where they were molested by those who differed
