The following from the Harrisburg Reporter.
may throw some light upon this subject.
The tenth section of the law chartering the
Bank of the United States enacts that the said
Bank shall make, to the Auditor General,
monthly returns of its condition. showing the de-
tails of its operations" Sc. 1t is well known
that during the last year the Bank in violation
of this solemn provision of the law, failed, for
several months, to make any returns. The
Bank is playing the same game at this time
We applied at the Office of the Auditor General
yesterday for certified copies of the statements of
the Bank, for the months of April and May, and
were informed that they had not been receiued
The reason is obvious. The Bank of the Unit
ed States, knowing its condition, is determined
to keep of'a resupmtion of specie payments to the
last possible moment, and Notwithstanding its
boastsd accumulation OF specie, 1t shuns an in
resttgGtion its Affairs.

horse was observed tied in the woods three miles
from home, and upon search being made, he was
found lying in the woods in state Of insensibility.
Every means were used by his neighboTs, who were
without effect he died shortly after 1t is supposed
that finding himself unable to reach the Springs he
resolved to return home and that his strength fail
might enable him to proceed.
The deceased was Soldier in the Revolutionary
war. At the battle of Kings Mountain, where he
was dangerously wounded he was actively engaged
as well as at several other engagements. He was
an Elector from this district at the last Presidential
