THRILLING INcIDENT-Col. Jno Mcdonald,
of Ross county, at public dinner, related the
following touching incident: In l7S7 Wheeling
was besleged by large army of British and In
dians So suddenly was the attack made that
no time was offered for preparation TIE fort, at
the time of the assault, was commanded by Col.
Silas Zane; Col. Ebenezer Zane, the senior off
Ger, was in block-house some fifty or one hun
dred yards outside Of the wall. The enemy
made several desperate assaults to break into
the fort, but on every onset they were driven
back. The ammunition for the defence Of the fort
was deposited in the block-house, and the attack
was made so suddenly and Unexpectedly that
there was no time to remove it. On the after
noon of the second day of the siege, the powder
in the fort was nearly exhausted, and no alterna-
tive remained but that some one must pass
through the enemy's fire to the block-house for
powder. When Silas Zane made the PROPOSE
ton to the men, to see if any one would under
take the hazardous enterprise, at first all were
silent. After looking at each othersforz some
time, young man stepped forward and ssaid he
would run the chance. Immediately half doz-
en- offered their services in the dangerous enter
prize.
While they were disputing about who should
60, Elizabeth, sister ofthe Zanes, came forward
and declared she would 60 for the powder. Her
brother thought she would finch from the enter
prize, but he was mistaken. She had the intre-
pidity to dare and the fortitude 10 bear her up in
the heroic risk OF life. Her brother then tried to
dissuade her from the attempt by saying man
would be more fleet and consequently would run
less risk OF loosing his life. She replied that
they had not man to spare from the defence Of
the fort, and if she should fall, she would scarce
ly be missed. She then dvested herself of such
OF her clothing as would impede her speed, and
ran till she arrived at the door of the block-house
where her brother, Col. Zane, fastened to re-
ceive his intrepid sister. The Indians, when
they saw her bound forth, did not fire gun, but
called aloud, "Squaw, squd,o, squaao" When
she had told her brother the errand on which she
came, he took table cloth and fastened it
around her waist, and poured into it a keg Of
powder. She then sailed back to the fort with
all the buoyancy ofhope. The moment she was
outside OF the block-h the whole of the ene-
my's line poured a leaden storm at her, but the
balls went whistling by without doing her any
injury. She afterwards married Mr. Clair
vile, OF Ohio.

THE TARIFF BILL VETOED.

The President as was tohe expected, has re
fused TO sign the Tariff Bill. Tie; message CON-
tanning his reasons will be found in our columns
this morning. The veto has created quite a sen:

They helda caucus on the 9th inst at which
propositions for new Revenue bill were brought
forward, but they received no counteiance. The
probability now is, that Congress will adjourn
and leave the President togelmoney ashe can,

beenTeferred to a comnittee, of which Mr.. Ad-

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, (Ga.)
Washington, August 9th 25l2.
MliIedgeviIIe, May q, IS42.


Dear Sir:-l had The honor, some time since,
to receive your letter, informing me that the
House Of Representatives had passed the appor-
tionment bill, with a provision requiring the
State Legislatures 10 lay off the territory OF their
respective States into Congressional districts;
and should long ago have answered it, but for
my multiplied engagements, some OF which
called me from home, on public business.
Satisfied that Congress has no authority to is.
sue this mandate to the State Legislatures,
soon determined that, if the bill should become
a law, would not convene the General Assem-.
bly, TO carry it into effect. Whatever. Congress
might conStitatioaa!!y do in regard to the ma
king or altering the regulations Gas to the time,
places, and manner OF holding the elections of
Representatives. it has no authority to direct
State Legislation on the subject. In fact, the pow
er conferred by the Constitution on Congress was
to prevent the catastrophe that might ensue,
upon the failure or refusal of the Legislatures of
the States to provide by law for holding these
elections. The case has not happened that
would render 1t necessary for Congress to eXer-
else the powergven in the Constitution; though
entertain no question that, the authority being
given, Congress has no right 10 determine on
the eXPedlency of using it. But 1t is absurd
to suppose that State would obey mandate
from Congress on this cubect, alter it had re-
solutely resolved either to enact no law for hold
ing elections for Representatives in Congress,
or to repeal laws already enacted. The trainers
OF the Constitution were not guilty OF SO great
folly as to suppose that the Legislature OF a
State wouldscomply with requsition OF Con-
gress TO DO all act that it had previously deter
mined 1t would not do. Hence they gave 10
Congress all necessary authority to do the act,
If the State should refuse; or to alter the act II
it should be SO done by the State as to be m-
practicable of execution But conceding the
point that Congress h,s the authority to direct
State Legislation in regard to the times, places,
and manner of holding these elections: rs the
power conferred to direct the districting OF the
:statesa The same section and clause which
Ecohfers on Congress the power to prescribe or

ting elections for Representatives, conters the

The withdrawal of the sum of S640,OOO, to
be distributed among the States, as soon as the
statements and accounts can be made up and
completed, by virtue of the provisions OF the
act of the 4th Of September last, (of which
merely moiety goes to few States, and only
about S3s3,OO0 is to Je divided among all the
States,) while it adds materially to the embar-
rassments of the treasury, affords 10 tie States

No immediate relief of this state of things is
anticipated, unless (What would most deeply
be deplored) the Government could be recon-.
cled to the negotiations of loans already author
ised by law, at rate Of discount ruinous in it.
SELF and calculated most seriously to affect the
public credit So great is the depression OF
trade, that even if the present bill were to be-
come law, and prove to be productive, some
time would elapse before sufficient supplies
would flow into the treasury, while, in the mean
time, its endorsements would be continually
augmented by the sem-annual distribution oil
the land proceeds.
Indeed, there is but too much ground 10 be
apprehended that, even if this bill were permit

than probably involve the necessity of a resort

Let it be remarked, that S5,500,O00 Of the
public debt becomes redeemable in about two
wears and half, which, at any sacrifice, must
be met; while the treasury is always liable 10
demands for the payment Of outstanding trea-
sury notes. Such is the gloomy picture which
our financial department now presents, and
which calls for the exercise Of a rigid economy
in the public expenditures, and the rendering

THE STEAMER KERsHAw.


We invite the attention of our citizens to the adj
vertisement of Mr.. H1IIARD, proposing to nayi-
gate the Wateree by steam, the coming season..
Notwithstanding the difficulties which hayshe
tofore presented themselves in the way of;steam
navigation on our river, for ourselves, weshaye.s
never doubted for moment, its entire practical
bility. The CAMDEN which was unfortunately
lost a few years since, was not constructed in
such manner as to warrant, in any greatdegree,
the hope of success, but from what we learn Of
the Kershaw we do not doubt, butthe experiment
will prove eminently satisfactory, so far aspro-'
wing the adoption of our river to steam naviga-
ton is concerned, and we trust our merchants
will make it profitable to the enterptIzing pro-
prietor. ~
