WHITE MEN KIDNAPPED BY Ne

On Tuesday morning OF the present week,
our town was thrown into considerable ex-
element by the arrest Of three white men
supposed to be discIplee Of the Mormon
Prophet, 10. Smith0 who were caught in
the act Of ~decoying from their rightful own
ers several slaves Of the neighborhood.-
The facts of the case, as near as we can
gather them, are about as follows:
On Monday evening last, one Of those dis.
ciples came to the field where a negro man
in the employ of Mr.. VIM. Brown wa at
work, and offered to assist him and as many
as he could get to join him in escaping from
the service Of their masters into Illinois, and
would send them on to Canada. The boy,
who is a trusty, faithful servant, and not
slow in tact, agreed to meet the Aboliiionist
at a certain point near the Mississippi River
at l0-o'clock that night, and to bring as ma.

WASHINGTON. July &, lo4l.
Last night after | closed, the debate on
the distribution land bill was continued until
seven o'clock.
The debate then ceased, and the question
was taken on all the amendments. The up
roar was Undesirable, the minority being
indignant at being forced TO vote without
further debate.
The proposed amendment adopted was
one by Mr.. Adams, requiring the states first
may owe the United States; provided, how
ever, that the sums due under the dePosite
act be an exception.
At ten O'Clock, amidst a terrific storm of
thunder and lightning and rain, the bill was
reported 10 the House.
At half past eleven, it was finally passed
by q vote Of 116tto 1oS.
In the House this morning, Mr.. Fillmore,
from the committee Of ways and means, re-
ported a bill making appropriation for fortifi-
cations for the year 184l. It was read
twice and referred.
Mr.. Wise, from the committee on naval
affairs, reported a bill making appropriation
for the purchase Of naval ordnance and stor-
es.
Mr.. King, from the same committee, re-
ported a bill making appropriation for the
support OF a home squadron; both of which
bills were read twice and referred.
On motion Of Mr.. Williams, of Coun., a
resolution was adopted authorizing the COM

In the Senate, the resolution OF Mr..
Buchanan. calling for information as to the
number of officers removed since the 4th OF
March last, is still discussed from day TO day
during the morning hour.
This morning, after the expiration Of the
hour, the bill for incorporating subscribers to
a Fiscal Agent Bank was again taken up Tor
consideration.
A motion BY Mr.. Calhoun, for locating the
bank at New Orleans having failed, the gene

Several unimporiant amendments were Oh
fered and rejected by a large vote. The on
~ amendment Of importance which had been
agreed TO when the Senate adjourned, was
one authorizing anv ten Of the stockholders
TO examine the books Of the bank, to see tina,
there was fair play.
In the House this morning. Mr.. Fillmore
being anxious that the Loan Bill should be
pushed ahead as fast as possible, moved that
the House GO into Committee upon It, before
the expiration Of the morning hour. lie did
not succeed.
Mr.. Clarke, Of New York, desired leave
TO offer a resolution providing for a daily re-
cess, but the resolution was not received
The House is well aware that If members
are allowed to 60 to dinner. they will come
back with the bump of talkativeness and
quarrelsomenes strongly developed.
The unfinished business Of the morning
hour was then called up. The first in or
der was the resolution offered some time
ago. by Mr.. Floyd, of New York, calling
upon the President TO furnish information to
the House. as 10 whether any military officer
of the II. S. was sent to interfere in the case
Of Mcleod.
Mr.. Hunt, Of New York, being entitled
TO the floor. spoke until the expiration OF the
hour, in defence Of the letter Of Mr.. Web
ster TO Mr.. Fox and in reply 10 the speech
of MI. Ingersoll againt the Secretary. Mr..
H. considered that it was only our false pride
that prevented an immediate adjustment o'
this difficulty.
Mr.. Profit made an Intellectual attempt to
introduce a resolution requiring the select
committee on the currency TO report forth
with the Senate bill referred to them for re-
pealing the Sub Treasury law, and without
connecting it with any thing else.
Mr.. Wood, of New York, made an inef'
fcctual attempt TO offer a JOINT resolution Tor
the adjournment of congress on the 26th
inst.
The Senate bill for extending the port Of
New Orleans was taken up and passed.
The House then went into a committee oil
the Whole on the state Of the Union and
resumed the consideration Of the Land Bill.
Mr.. Pickens opposed the bill, and argued
that Treasury Notes were preferable.
Mr.. Sergeant followed in favor Of the bill
and the debate was continued until the ad.
%journment withou, any question being ia
ken.
Under the rule adopted yesterday each
member is allowed to speak an hour, but a
majority may at any time enforce the rule
adopted on Tuesday, and cut of debate Alto

Permanent System.-Mr. Kendall. in a

That is natures system" it is our Creators
SYSTEM it is a system Of Equality, OF justice,
Of pirtue-the system that comedies to eve

enjoyment. 1t is not to be found in Banks, IN
Tariffs, in Public Debts, in establishing dit
ferent order in society, such as monarchs,
mobiles and priests, in the din Of a battle or
the glory Of conquest. Systems originating
in the sourc es, splendid as they may appear
in the distance, are built Of human bones,
bound together by the sinews Of men and
washed with the tears Of widows and or

Extract from Mr.. BaMroN's speech in the
U. S. Senate, on the subject of chartering
six Banks in the District Of Columbia, TO

forced to take n part in this unworthy game;
to continue thi, state Of things for three
years, when long before that time the sus-

with the honest, specie-paying banks Of the
country, instead Of the side Of the broken
and suspended onesi and to assist the banks
of Virginia and North Carolina in their eE
forts to bring about a return to specie pay
ments.
"But it was said the people owed the
Banks; and the question is not whether the
banks are prepared to resume specie pay
ments; but are the people prepared to pay
their debts to the banks in specie? Mr.. Bid

inc account; of the extraordinary robbery
committed on the Branch at Jacksonville,
III.
The entire loss OF the bank is stated at
lS82,495,a2; of which S46,340 was IN par
ent Bank paper S13,350, in branch paper.
and SI8,260 in paper Of other B~anks--less
S5.sl8 Of untitled notes which were not Ia
ken. Gold Ss,063 81. Silver S2,433,28.
In addition, nearly all the bills discounted
are stated to be missing-say over $780,
OoO-supposed to have been burnt. as some
traces, OF them were found in the fireplace.
The discount book, ledgers and all the valua-
bic books were torn into fragments and scat
tered in every direction over the floors
Boxes Of silver were left open on the thor.
The letter states, that the robbers entered
through the window Of the dining room, for
ming the l. Of the'house passed round into
the front passage--entered The side door BY
a false kew, and also both doors OF the vault.
The safe was locked and the key placed on
a shelf in the vault: this key was used to IN
lock the volt. The front door OF the bank
was found unbarred and unlocked from the
inside and was the probable place Of egress
Of the robbers.
No clue has as yet been obtaine3 TO the
robbers. A committee of the citizens yes;er-
day made 4 most searching investigation,
and will shortly report. Every part Of the
banking premises, and almost all parts OF
the town have been thoroughly searched.
The reward Of $4,000 will, the letter says
probably be increased.
Beauties Of a Paper Currency.-A cor
respondent Of the Hartford Courier, IN CIV
ing some recollection of the revolution. has
the following:

drove n team TO Boston, with 4 load, and
brought one back for a Merchant in Spring

turning home | stnid in Roxbury one night,

ted himself at The White House, and with
much vehemence, both in manner and speech,

Magistrate of the Union. The steward OF
the White House, not perfectly satisfied with
the validity Of the claim thus unexpectedly
and abruptly set forth, attempted, with some
other persons, TO eject the claimant; but
