REMAINS OF PRESIDENT HARRISON.

The mortal remalns of the late venera-
ted President Harrison (says the National
intelligenCer) were removed from the Gov
eminent burial ground, in this City, on
Saturday lat; al The hour and under the
ceremonies prescribed by the order Of
Congress, 10 be conveyed TO their final
resting place on the banks Of the Ohio, at
North Bend. The body was attended By
the son Of the deceased, John Scott HaIri.

men TO whom was assigned the pious duly
Of accompanying the remains to North
Bend. Tie President Of the United States,
with the Heads Of Departments, the Com.
mlliees Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and large number of citizens, attended
at the place Of departure from the City, to
offer the last testimony of respect 10 the
earthly remains Of the lamented Chief
whose memory will ever be cherished by
every true.hearted America.
A detachment of Marines, by order Of
the President, attended the body as an es-
cort to North Bend. We understand that
when the order was addrc ssed to Col. Hen
derson, commander of the Marine Corps,)
to furnish the detachment, and to desig-
nate an officer to command it, lie replied
that, being himself the senior officer, he
conceived it TO be most proper and respect.
iu that he should act on the occasion, and
accordingly assumed to himself The melan-
choly duty Of heading the escort.
The funeral train arrived at Baltimore
at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The Bati-
more American OF this morning says:
" As soon as The arrival Of the body was known,
Col Hickman tondered TO The Committee the

We find in the Senate proceedings Of
the 10lh ult., that, in discussing the Bank
Bill, both Mr.. Maugum and MIR. Graham
were called up by a remark made by Mr..
Calhoun, to the effect, that the feeling Of
Southern Wings was not settling down
in favor Of such an Institution. Both of
our Senators stated, and truly stated, that
50 far as North Carolina is concerned, not
one Wing in five thousand was opposed to
a National Bank, and !ha! many Of the
other party also participated in the feeling
Mr.. Calhoun denied that such was the state
Of public sentiment in North Carolina. -
Now, we should like to know who has the
best right to speak for our people in this
matter-our own Senators, or Mr.. Cal
houn And, we should also like to know
what claim the Senator from South Caro-.
Ina has to present himself as the exponent
of public opinion in this State. Ii we know
any thing Of the People of the Old North,
he is the very last man they would select
to speak for them. It seems downright
impudence to Us, when both The Senators
from . State unite ia making an assertion
touching u matter exclusively within their
own baiIIwick, for Senator from another
State to rise and controyert it. We have
not seen the remarks made by Messrs.
Mangum and Graham, but shall. of course,
publish them, when they appear. In the
meantime, we reiterate the assertion, that
if there is Wing in North Carolina op-
posed to the establishment Of a National
Bank, we are yet to be made aware of the
fact, whilst the James OF many of the OPP
position party, who favor such an lnstitu-
ton, are familiar 10 us.--Rdl. Reg.

of the South Western Railroad Bank cir

are receiving them, probably with the OK

not receivable at the State Treasury, nor
are they taken in payment by either o. our

MONEY OF THE FREDERICK COUNTY

1t IS said that negotiations between the
robbcr OF the Frederick County Bank, Ma

tors OF that Institution, have resulted in the

minus $4,000 in gold-which he re.
