FANNY ELSSLER

Saturday evening, and received with unhounded
enthusiasm by the most distinguished assemblage
seen in the National Theatre. The boxes and par

this rather warm region he was soon accommodated
with convenient seat in one of the boxes The mem

present Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, Mr. Preston, Mr..
Crittenden, and other prominent men were con.picu-

High were the expectations of the spectators
they quite transcribed by the effect of Elsslers
first bounding the stage-her bright beaming face
and glorious form. We will not dwell upon her ad-
mirable performance in La Iarantuie of which the
public has heard much from New York and Phila.

The discussion ofthe bill making appropriations for

The motion of the Chairman Of the Committee Of
Hays and Means, to amend the bill by adding there
an appropriation of 1900 600 for the suppression of
Indian hosttes in Florida, being under consdera-
ton, yesterday, Mr.. GRAVES of Kentucky rose, and
spoke with remarkable ability and eloquencc, com
menting severely the Encouragement and incom-

Florida war.

The petition TO Congress of n subtreasurer
who has been robbed Of kegs Of specie which
the Government was transferring up the Red
river, is perhaps proof of the necessity Of the
increase Of military guards, and of the pro-
prety of following the example of Cuba. Mr..
Walker wished this country 10 be in the happy
condition of Cuba, and Mr.. Calhoun concurred
with that Senator We have before us work

Who swelIs the Appropriations beyond the
Estimates 4 t#

The Official Organ persists in falsely charging
on the opposition the blame of increasing the
appropriations beyond the annual estimates Of
the Executive Departments. This daring lie
1--WE cannot stand on ceremony in character
zng such conduct has been promulgated by
the Globe people and their adjuncts, although
they k,uow that the whole history of the session
contradicts it. Read the following sketch Of the
proceedings in the House, on the ARMY APrRo-
pRIArioN Bill.
Mr.. JONES moved an additional clause providing
for certain expenditures in Florida, amounting in all
to $500 900
Mr., STANLY inquired whether this was nclu-
ded in the estimates from the Department presented at
the commencement of the session
Mr. JONES replied that it not.
Mr. STANLY said, if necessary he should vote
for this appropriation but he again called the aten-
ton of the House to what he considered very repre-
hensiblc OF the Departments in withholding
estimates till toward the close of the session, when
there was time to examine and discuss them There
more apparent probability Of a termination OF
the war in Florida than there had been two years
since. ESTIMATES HAD BEEN AUGMENTED OVER A MIL
LION OF DOLLARS, SINCE THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE
SESSION and this would all be thrown the doors of
Congress, and urged argument in favor of the
President and the Sub-Treasury.
This is only specimen of the systematic i'm
posture attempted to be played off upon the peo-
pie, with regard to the estimates, and the appro-
prialions. The financial organs ofhe Erecutire
in Congress, (the chaimen of the finance com
mittces,) are continually asking additional appro
ded in he estimates, and get the money ofcourse
The Globe then comes out and declares the
Executive and his subordinates are only respon-
slble for the estimates, and charges the opposi-
ton with extravaganza for giving them more
Was there ever such audacities

II the bonds be good none but rich men can
be Sub-treasurers. The bonds required Of Mr.
Selden, Treasurer, are, we understand, one
million and a half. OF course this puts an end
to all aspirations for Office, on the part of the
poor, and transforms the office-holders into the
rich nabobs Of arisiocracy. None but rich men
can give such bonds as those. This is giving
more privileges TO pedih than TO honesty.

GAG LAW FOR 100000 MEN.

In the "details Of the plan for the organization
OF the militia is the following section
10Th. That the militia ofthe United States, or any
portion thereof when employed in the service of the u
States, shall be subject 10 The same rules and articles
Of iear as The troops Of The United STATES"
What are the rules and articles Of war to
which Mr.. Van Buren, would subject the militia
Of the United States2 Here is one Of the rules
and articles y
Art 9th Any officer or soldier who shall use con-
femptuous disrespeel nords against the President
of the United States, against the pice President
thereof against the Congress of the United States
against the CHIEF Magistrate of any of the United
States in which they may be quarered, il commits
stoned officer, shall be cashiered or otherwise punish
ed, as Court Martial shall direct if non-cornmis
stoned officer soldier he shall suffer such punish
ment as shall be inflicted on him by the sentence of a
Court Martial"
How many citizens Of the United States does
the Execuiiveproposet to gag in thatway2 100000,
besides the standing army Listen to the fol
lowing paragraph from the last annual report of
the Secretary Of War:
1t is proposed TO divide the United States into eight
military districts and to organize the militia in each
district, as to have body oftwelve thousand five
number This would give an armed mi
Htia force Of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
MIN, drilled and stationed to be ready take
their places in the ranks in defence Of the country
whether called upon to oppose the enemy repel the
invader"
What said Mr.. Van Buren, to the scheme of
his secretary and cabinet Councillor? In his
last annual message he used the following Ian
guage:
The present condition of the deenccs Of bur prin-
cipa scaports and navy yards, represented by the
accompanying report OF the Secretary of War calls for
the early and serious attention of Congress and
connecting itself intimately with this subject Icannot
recommend too strongly to your consideration the
plan submitted by that officer for the oil
the militia Of The United States"
This, then, is the most arbitrary and anti Re-
publican law ever attempted by any Executive
of the Union. It is the Alien and Sedition law
of modern Federalism; as odious and tyranni
cal rs ever was its prototype. What! prohib
| by arbitrary and severe penalties, 200, 900 men

sident, or of Congress, or of any State Cover
nor! There has been nothing like il since tn,
old Blue Laws Of Connecticut, when it was un
lawful for man to kiss his wife on Sunday No
There has been but one parallel 10 il in moderr
times, and that is Kendall and Niles law to pro
hibit all persons from carrying letter, or news
paper, on any mail route, or on any road pdrai

Government credit teH, il seems, Immediately
after the passage Of the sub-Treasurv. The
Treasury Department issued one million of Trea-
sury notes bearing 5 l2 per cent interest, which
is an acknowledgment that Government is now
1-2 per cent. worse off than it was before. A
large proportion of this issue was absorbed by
the ~ Y. Bank of America, the residue by bro
kers in the District.
II has been matter OF some curiosity TO know
how the Government will get along without
another call upon Congress for loans. Whether
the Secretary Of the Treasury will appeal to
Congress before its adj ournment is uncertain
Perhaps he will not How will he get on?
That's the question He has thirty millions of
expenses and twelve millions of revenue. Sup
pose, as he has increased the interest on his
Treasury notes, that those notes should not be re-
turned for the present, 50 that he cannot reissue
What then? Will he go to the brokers to get

have the presumption to draw upon distant and
depleted repositories, and let the drafts lie under
protest, and bearing legalinterest? Nous rerrons
