AFFIDAVIT OF CAPTAIN SETH
THAYER,
COMMANDING STEAMBOAT RHODE ISLAM

H COMMANDING STEAMBOAT RHODE ISLAND.
Il NV attention has been called to an
H article in an extra of the Boston Daily
Times, of the 9th March last, and J
deem it an act Of justice TO make the
following statement -
\ On Saturday last, the Odd inst, it wns
intimated to me that the steamboat OSE-
i OLA would be out in the afternoon to
lltry her speed with the steamboats, Rhode
Island, .cxington,a and }. w. Richmond
In the early part of the afternoon she
made her appearance in the North Ri-
YER, and procc ccdcd up it short distance
and returned soon 10 the head Of pier
No. I, which poin, she left about twenty
minutes before 5 o'clock, p. NJ, and
again went up tho river to opposite Rec
tor street, when she turned round and
stopped, as ! supposed, for the three
boats to start. When the time arrived
the steamers Lexington and J. w. Rich
mond rung their bells, and the former
boat started. Immediately after the j.
w. Richmond left the dock and came
out from il about once her length, when
she stopped her engine and sent her
small boat to tho wharf she had left
which appeared to receive passengers,
and then returned alongside when the
Richmond also started. The Oseola
being in norhwesterly direction from
her, / should think at about three or four
hundred yards distance.
As soon as the Richmond had turned
round on her course, the Oseoln startc d,
and pa sscd between the J. w. Richmond
and the Rhode Island, which had just
left the dock, and was asteru the Rich
mond. The Oscola came up along side
the latter, between Castle Garden and
Whitehall dock, as soon rs the Rhode
Island had turned Castle Garden, | saw
that tho J. w. Richmond was stcercd
Tor the head, or near the head, Of White
hall dock, not leaving sufficient room for
the Oscola to pass between her and the
dock, which was evidently the design Of
the latter boat; in consequence ofwhich,
the two boats came in contact. The
Rhode Island, at the time Of the coils
ion, was five or six times her length
astcrn Of both boats, aud on the starboard
quarter of the Richmond so far of, in
deed, that after tho collision, tue Oscola
passed under The stern Of, and between
the J. w. Richmond and Rhode Island
The engine OF The latter was not stopped
nor the steam shut of. This contact
with the Oscola might easily have been
avoided by the j. w. Richmond, she
having, at the time, tho entire range Of
the river on The outside of the OseoIa.
Before leaving the dock, | requested
the pilot, Capt. Walden, to give the j.
w. Richmond wide berth in case we
should come up with her, which thought
might be, and proved 10 be The case. !
told him that we had, last fall, when be-
was temporarily absent from the Rhode
Island from sickness, started ahead Of the
!. w. Richmond from Providence, aud
on passing III few miles down The river,
she came in contact with the Rhode Is
land, although every thing in our power
was done 10 avoid il.
On Saturday last, I was determined,
from this circumstance, 10 give her room
cpough. Ancr The collision above me n 9.

Ingersoll, Esq, and adopted =
Resolved, That the Directors have learned
with unleIgned regret the intention Of Mr.
B,ppLE, 10 withdraw from his situation as
President OF the Bank of the United States'
For many years tho best interests o' tne
Institution under his especial guardianship
have been protected and promoted with de-
voted fidelity, untiring zeal and shining ao'li-
~. IN both periods OF its corporate exist
encc, il has been exposed to continual as,
sault, and surrounded with complicated
difficulties. Power aud prejudice have ar
rayed themselves against It IN active hostility
popular feeling and oilicial Influence have
been exercised ~ anxious attempts To disturb
its arrangements and check IT'S prosperity
But IL has not ceased 10 prosper. More ihai,
one moniod and political crisis has threatened
the institutions of the country with serious
loss, or absolute dcstrnctioD. The country
and It's institutions have SO often survived
the crisis, that they now stand erect ana al
most unhurt FROM the pcrils to winch 'hey
have been exposed. During these eventful
periuds, arduous efforts have been mnde and
heavy burthens have been sustained by the
bank of the United States, and the largest
and most effective share Of successful excr-
ton has been contributed by its presiding
officer.
The Board of Directors owe 1t to them
selves and to the stockholders whom they
represent, i'm accepting with deep reluctance
the resignation now rendered to them, to re-
cord their grateful acknowledgements to n
gentleman whose unrivoIlcd skill in finance,
inwearied devotion to his duties, firm and
lnde ependent conduct in the midst Of obsa.
clcs, elevated and honorable principles, and
courteous and urbane department., have
marked with unlailng uniformity long and
arduous career. Who having performed so
much and so faithfully, leaves the institution
with which he is identified, prosperous IN all

the interests of the several communities, cor
dial in its associations with its sister estab,
lishments, and secure in the respect and
esteem Of all who are connected with II III

FLORIDA INDIANS.
TAIIAu.ssrr Marcel

TALLAHASSEE, March 20.
We stop the press to tell another tale of
Indian fighting, blood and murder. We shall
be brief, for we are sick at heart upon even
an approach 10 this subject.
On Monday, while Capt. Rowcll's company
were scouting, they fell in with an old negro
man, who told them he had just seen Indians,
and directed tho soldiers where they nigh,
'fnd them. The scouts charged on, and soon
came in sight Of two Indians, who were
quietly seated upon fence, and who beck.
oned the whites in friendly manner to ap-
proacl, which the latter did fearcssly, and.
upon nearing tho fence, we're fred on by q
large party of Indians, who were concealed
in the hammock, supposed to number from
60 to 20.
Two of Captain RS company were killed
on the spot, and two badly wounded. One
dead Indian was afterward found on the
ground.
The affair happened in Pattcrson's Ham,
mock, few miles east of the Ocilla.
Capt. Rowell and his men are sal! to have
fought bravely, but had not sufficient force to
contend successfully with the foe.

not unwelcome scenes Of private life,
" in d, foncc of the character which a

exhibition of the grounds of his opposi-

THE STATE ELECTION.

Il Never was there time, when the
groat body ofthc Whig party was more
strongly called upon to come forth in
defence of their principles than they
arc at this moment and never have
the Wings Of Rhode Island held a posi-
ton which it was more important for
them to maintain than the one in which
they are now placed. The pronigacy
Of the general government has been
continued, until an ovorhowing treasury
is reduced TO bankruptcy; and the cor
ruption of the administration has in
creased, until every political station is
made the reward Of unscrupulous par
tizan services. For long while the
party which has so shamcfully abused
the confidence of the people, was able
to conceal the true state Of the public
affairs the people are always slow to
believe that the men whom they have
trusted and honored and elevated can
prove unfaithlul and treacherous /; but
when they are once convinced of it,
their Indignation is proportionate to
\ their former confidence, and the mon
strous abuses of the government have
at length become so open and so out
rageous, that no candid and well in
formed man can longer be deceived
The dclaIcatons which arc daily taking
place, the immense sums Of money en-
trusted to men known to be dishonest,
and the culpablc cglect Of the admins
tration in keeping men in responsible
Offices after their dishonesty and un-
faithiulness were fully established, are
without parallel in the history Of any
other administration.
For years the men who practiscd and
the party which supported these enormi-
ties seemed to stand in defiance of all
law and Of all honesty but at length
the disciplined valor Of the household
troops has given way before the impc-
tuous attacks of the Wings, and now
the cause of the people is in the asccn-
dant. Election after election has de-
clared against the administration, which
has so long trampled upon the people,
that it thought itself secure in any out
rage and now the Wings are called
upon to maintain the ground that they
have won. Rhode Island has done her
part in gaining the victory, and the
people look to her to do her part in
maintaining it.
i We have no fear that the State Of
Rhode Island will prove recreani to her
principles I'VE have no fear that she
will reverse the verdict which she has
twice rendered upon the measures of
the administration. The only fear we
have is from inactivity, from supine
confidence in their own strength. Iii
the great fault Of the Wings, and one
that is often with truth thrown at them
by their enemies that they cannot bear
success; they rise from defeat with that
spirit Of the old Romans which made

On Saturday, August ~, 1897, liltlc girl,
named Jane, aged 3 years, n daughter Of Mr..
Sicorns, who resides within thirty rods of the
Railroad Depot ut Lynn, accidentally drank
n few swallows Of potash water, which in.
jured her stomach so much that she has taken
no solid nonrishmcrt since. She has occa-
sIonally drank little milk, but for a largo
portion oi the llrnc she has subsistcd only on
water. And often she has passed whole
weeks without even drinking that. Tho
longest time she has gone without anything
passing into her stomach is twenty one days.
AZ the time oi writing this which is on Fast
Day, she Inns gone nineteen days without any
nourIshncnt Whatever, not even n swallow
Of water. II is now one year and seven
months she has been IN this case. When
she drinks milk she Is able 10 run about and

more terrible after Il defeat than alter a
victory, but continued success relaxcs
their energies and unnerves their
strength they grow careless and for
getlul, aud are surprised by an enemy
inferior in strength but superior in craft
and stratagem. Not SO with the train
ed forces of the administration they
never relax their vigilance the same
in victory or in defeat, watchful Of
every opportunity and eager never to
lose an advantage. No certainty OF
success ever bctrays them into throw
ing away a single vote; no certainty of
defeat ever induces them TO relax a
single effort.
Our undoubtcd majority is ofno avail
unless we bring out our strength, and
if our friends suppose that we are to
walk over the course in the Spring cleo
ton they deceive themselves, and for
get the character Of tho enemy. We
must contend with the whole patronage
of the general government; with the
whole body of the Office holders, backed
up as they are by the treasury. True,
they can bring nothing against us which
we have not twice Overthrown true
they can only collect the same forces
which we have twice scattered within
two years but our victories then were
won by ceaseless activity, by pcrsever-
ing effort, and by these alone can it be
won again. We have the strength, but
we must employ it. Our opponents arc
not idle, they have been at work for a
long while, silently and cautiously as
usual, but with an industry which must
be met with a similar report from us,
if we would maintain the power which
we have acquired. Let every man then
take his post and remain at it, during
the contest. There is no time to be
lost. The battle will be u fierce one,
and although VIC can surely win it, we
must win it by the same exertions, tho
same industry and the same devotion
to the cause which have borne us tri-
umphantly through two powerful strug-
giles, and which we trust will yet bear
us no less triumphantly through many
more.

RESIGNATION OF MIR. BIDDLEs
Ii will be perceived that Mr.. Biddle
has resigned his station as President Of
the Bank Of tho United States Of Penn
sylvania. This event totally unexpect-
ed, created no little sensation in Phila-
dclphia, as was also the case in New
York and Boston. Nobody dreamed
that the Bank President had any idea
of resigning, though it appears that he
some time ago intimated such intention
to the Board Of Directors. O
Speculation in New York and Phila-
delphia was rife, in assigning motives
for this act. Rumor, with its number
less tongues was busy assigning fo'
him various stations, such as Secretary
of the Treasury, Secretary Of State
Special Envoy, and SO forth. Witness
letters on this subject. Nevertheless
the ex-Presidcnt himself gives good
and substa antial reasons, for the act
Twenty years services in the Banks
approaching age and precarious health,
are considerations sufficient, without
rcsorting to conjecture. Indeed, we
place very little credit in the rumorsi
that he has been invited to take office
under the administration. The very
fact, that such an invitation would
prove, that he chad been more sinned
against, than SHINING" would be ban
to his appointment. The present, is
not an administration for rcdccming
an abused opponent from partisan OBJ
loquy.
While the public will regret the re-
tircmcnt of Mr.. Biddlc, it will be graft
| lfying to hear him declare, that he
leaves the institution in ga state OF
great prosperity" He is n man, who
never speaks without book, and his sol
cmn declaration in this respect is sure
guaranty Of the sound condition Of the
Bank. Again, Mr.. Biddle is not man
who sIiinks from difficulty. The Bank
has engrossed his whole soul, for &c
years, and the very fact of his resign
ing his station, is proof positive, that
he considers the institution in good con-
dition, and the future prospect auspi-
cious. The new President is spoken
of, in the highest terms of commenda-
ton, and as ho will have the counsels
of the late President for his guidance,
we may anticipate that the affairs OF
the Bank will be conducted with ability
and discretion. Mr.. Biddle rctircs, en-
joying the respect Of the nation, aud
with its best wishes for his personal
happiness = Bost Gas.
