out TO the camps to tell how beautifully he
would play, and that would bring other
crowds, so that he was full all the time,
and he couldn'tstop the noise. He said
he was never in the business before
wished he was out of it--but he wanted
to make a little more at it during the land
sales. Pittsburg is a swarthy' good look
ing fellow, and on the whole made quite
an interesting speech and we expect if he
ever quits his present business he will
turn lawyer. He promised to do better
and their Honors let him off by his pay
ing the costs.
During the day there were several 9TH
ers taken up for keeping gambling and
disorderly houses who were fined aud de-
prived Of their licenses. IN the evening
loafer who has cut quite swell during
the land sales, was taken on suspicion Of
being counterfeiter. He made PROPOSE
tons of loaning money, but it could not be
|ascertaincd that he had ever loaned any
or that he had any to loan. During his
trial he played rather hoax on their Ho-
nors and the Constable. He told them he
did not let every one know where he kept
ibis money, but if they would come with
him, he would show them where it was.
Accordingly they. started with him, but
before they had gone far he stopped and
Uniformed them that it was no use to 90

Every one now sees, and the leaders in
the Van Buren, party admit, even, that one
result of the Snb Treasury scheme will

Mr. JENKs.--This gentleman delivered
an interesting lecture on Common Schools
at the Methodist Church last evening"
BY an advertisement in another column
it will be seen that he will lecture on an
other subject at the Episcopal Chapel,
this evening. Mr.. ]. has travelled extern
slve1y among the ruins of the ancient
cities of Athens, Thebes, Memphis, &c.
and will doubtless be able, with the aid of

AS some of the woud-bc Adrhinistra-
ton lcadars have expressed willingness
to take the responsibility of calling a
Convention for the purpose of organizing
the Sub Treasury party in this Territory,

machinists, &c. &c.
