DEBATE IN TIE SENATE

Inc arena, commenting upon the interesting de

observes: ~
The debate assumes On in,eres, from, tho r,.,
that 1t may be regarded as showing the nosition the
Senate Is likely to assume, in regard to currency
matters, ana especially the establishment of sub.
sttute Tor the Sub-Treasuay. The movement O,
Mr. Clay wasevidenty intended TO make Bank
OF the u S. the only alternative after the repeo NJ
the Sub-Treasury, and was resisted bv Nlessrs
kves, Barrow and Preston, upon that ground. and
the further objection that the law of I7s9 left tho
treasure oil the country much under the control o
Inc Executive, rs existing enacments. MIR. Calhoun
lhueeu, expressed his earnest wish that the law OF
1852 should &c revived, as it presented all the fea
lures, and was IN fact, Sub Treasury.
From all we can CLEAN from the debate. md
some prior proceedings in relation to re,olu,ior
calling upon the,Secretary of the Treasury for MAN
oil his recommendation, it is plain that the Senate is
hoI disposed to charter an institution upon the plan
oil the old Bank OF the United States, but there !,
nevertheless disposition in that body to adopt q
suitable Fiscal Agent, calculated TO remove the tre,.
sure OF the country as far possible from the con.
troll oil the Executive, and create uniform and sta
bic currency, as well for the people as for the Gov
eminent.
The question came up, Tuesday, on Mr.. CAL.
HouS's amendment to MIR. Glars amendment,
winch was adopted-and the amendment. thus
amended then rejected. The Bill repeating the sub
Treasury and reyiving the State Bank system wa,
ordered to be engrossed. The debate was inter.
esIIns. And some passes between MIR. CALHOUN
and DIR. WALKER were quite pioulnt and inJ;c ,,o
some symptoms of discord in the opposition.

JAMES McLAuRNE, Jr., in the II,h wear of his
age. For many years MIR McLaurine had been n
great sufferer. The disease which terminated his
life, (cares of the bone,) commenced about fourteen
years ago. AT first its progress was slow and in.
sIdlous, but Tor the last six or eight years OF his life
It was very severe and distressing A great part of
That time he was closely confined to his bed suffer
ms acute pains, deprived entirely Of his sight, and
to considerable extent, Of his speech and hearing
lie was unable, IN this situation, TO hold much inter.
course with the world, or TO enjoy many of its COM
loris. But MIR McLaurinc was not left comfortless
In early lite, and whilst in the enjoyment of health
he embraced the hope Of the Gospel and consecra-
ted himself TO the service OF God. For several wears
before he was disabled by disease he was an active
and useful member Of the Presbyterian Church dis
charging with fidelity and Kindness the varied du-
ties which devoved upon him, in all the relations
winch he sustained. During his long and distressing
iness, he enjoyed IN high degree, the consultations
OF the grace Of God Although hs offerings were
them all with great Christian loriitude and entire
resignation to the will OF God. IL was often said
respecting him, that he was never known TO muir.

heart lie maintained his trust and confidence in
God steadfast unto the end. His faith was trium.

surviving relatives and friends the unspenknble
cOnsolntion, that he has exchanged a world of sin
and suffering for that glorious rest that remains for
the people of God. few hours before his death
he expressed an earnest wish, that his relatives and
friends would all meet him IN heaven. "Mark the

THE GERM

mas ueeh maze, ana the bright prospect Of complete
success.
THE GERM.
we notice with great qualification the arrival n,
the Navy Yard in this City, of the experimental
steam-vesse oil Lieut.. Hunter in thirty two bours
from Norfolk.
The Germ, as she is most appropriately named
is propelled by Lieut. Hunters submerged pgopel .
lers, of which our readers have before seen sn,,o
notice taken IN our columns.
We cannot too highly estimate the yoluc nj such
an invention rs this, and OF that OF Ericsson recently
tested on the ship Neptune on her passage outwnri
TO Havana and homewards. Should thew move
successful, rs We have for some time past believed
they would, their value TO the nation MS a means of
extlngushlns eiiectually the whole steam armament
oil The ordinlry construction Of any nation which
may attack US, will be beyond computation.
100 much credit cannot be given TO the Sccre.
tary OF the Navy for the prompt manner in which
he has sought to secure TO the country the benefit
of these inventions, by sending an experienced MAYA
constructor tMr. Rhodes) to New York immediate
" after the return there of the Neptune, that he
might possess himself Of the facts relative TO the
operations oil Ercson's propellers during her trip
and by the means adopted to bring into the public
service the invention OF Lieut. Hunter.
The Germ performed the trip from Gosport Yard
10 w Washington IN 81 hours, distance Of two hum
bred and forty miles, lhereabouls-and making at
times nine miles per hour.
This is bu, germ, il is believed Of what she en-
70
invaluable to the inland commerce Of the country.
as no greater ioake or SosH is produced by the nc.
ton Of this propeller than by the motion Of an ordi.
nary boat propelled by sails or otherwise, at the
same speed.
The Germ is believed to be the smallest steam
vessel ever sent TO sea, being Of but feet Leam n,
the water line, and Of so feet in length drawing bnt
feet wator, and possessing 6 horse power. Her
propellers ore feet in dlmetar superfcies Of each
paddle a square foot.
In passing through Hampton Roads against a
heavy head sea and in tho face of a strong n f..
blow, her engine performed the usual number of re.
yoluilons, and worked steadily rs in smooth wa
ter, giving conclusive proof of the safety and Fl,
adaptation Of these propelers for sea navigation.
The we'll established fact, that the speed Of n
vessel Is accelerated by an increased dlametar OF
the paddle wheels, leaves no doubt thdta vessel ON
Lieut.. Hunters plan may be propelled as rapidly
as ono Of equal size by the propelers now in com
mon use.
This little steamer is indeed "germp Of great
promise. IL was presented TO the notice ofthe Hon
| Secretary Of the Navy soon after he assumed th,
duties of his office IN March last and by his char.
aetefisiIc determination and promptncsS Of action
he has within the short period Of three month";, at
tuHng expense to the country, constructed and put
IN operation this vessel, and thereby practically tcs
ted this important invention.
