ANOTHER NATIONAL BANK!

New York, has thought proper to urge upon
Congress the adoption OF Bank, framed after

ot The extra session. We have but one word
nsay to this proser over things gone by. The
day has been when such scheme might have
met our appreciation, and, probably, the approval
If those in high places. As measure Of
conclliation and compromise, it was offered TO
Congress, and as such it was contemporary
rejected and he who, with the exhibitions OF
public sentiment since made, can now serious

CONGRESS-.

In the House of Representatives, Thursday
Mr.. Everett submitted resolution 10 take the
Apportonment bill out of Committee on Mon
day next at twelve O'Clock; but, on the motion
OF Mr.. Andrews, Of Kentucky it was laid upon
the table-Yeas 90, nays "a,
Mr.. Kennedy Of Maryland, presented the
memorial of nine thousand and ninety-four citi-
zens Of Baltimore, without distinction of party,
asking for protection TO domestic manufactures
and counteryaiing duties in our commercial in
tercourse with foreign nations.
Mr.. J. T. Mason remarked that very few De-
mocrats had signed the memorial
Mr. Kennedy was happy then, 10 learn that
there was such large number OF true Wings
in the city Of Baltimore
Mr. Medill presented the proceedings and re-
solutions of large meeting of the citizens OF
Hooking Valley, in the State of Ohio, in rela-
ton to the pending negotiations between this
country and Great Britain.
On the motion of Mr.. Everett, the House
went into Committee Of the Whole on the
state of the Union, and took up the Apportion
ment bill. The question pending was on the
amendment of Mr., Everett, as amended on the
motion Of Mr. Stewart, of Illinois, providing for
striking out $4,000 as the ratio and inserting
| SIS, 600
| Mr.. Tillinghast opposed the amendment, be-
cause, if it should be agreed to- it would de-
prve Rhode Island of one of her Representa-
tves, and he expressed himself in favor of the
ratio of $4,000.
| Mr.. Thompson, of Indiana, opposed the
| amendments, and said that he would, when in
order, move to in ,ert 100000, and gave two
reasons why this motion should prevail; the
| first Of which was, that the number of Repre-
sentatives would be reduced TO l40 which
would give some guarantee that order in then
proceedings would be preserl ed, and, the Sc
cond, that the smaller the number the greater
will be the economy.

when the vote was taken and the amendment
rejected-Ayes 81, noes not counted.

such numbers as they might desire for the Com

were then read--in all, some fifty-and proposed
from less than forty to one hundred and forty

After voting upon twenty nine of the amend
ments, the ratio of 60,5o0 was agreed to, whic

STATE OF THE WORLD.

The present condition of the world, in re-
spect 10 the relations Of nations, is somewhat
novel, and not undeserving of consideration
The great commercial and Christian States have
enjoyed, among themselves, long peace, long
er, we believe, than any general peace of Eu-
rope has endured before for some centuries 1t
will be twenty-seven years, next month, since
the wars Of the French Revolution may be said
10 have been terminated, by the battle of Water
loo Since that epoch France and Belgium
have undergone revolutions and Spain has been
the theatre of internal wars but, upon the whole,
the generals state of Europe has been pacific, and
is now pacific. But we speak fthe worlds being
at peace, because the great States are at peace,
between themselves, although several of them
have, in fact, wars on hand.
Thus we call England at peace, though she
is carrying on war with the North of India, and
the whole Empire of China; an Empire of three
hundred millions of people.
So we say, also, that France is, in the com
mon acceptation, at peace, having no war on
hand with any European State but France,
nevertheless, is employing very large military
force, and making vast expenditures in Africa,
not only for the defence of Algiers, but, as now
seems generally understood, for the purpose of
Obtaining large territories in the north of Africa,
10 be permanently held by her. Russia is not in
arms against any European power, but then she
is prosecuting an expensive war with alternate
success and disaster with the various nations,
tribes, and hordes, on her southern frontiers.
Last of all, we do not call ourselves at war,
(though no one knows how soon we may be)
but still we have several thousand troops in Flo
rlda traversing the sands, wadng through the
swamps, and threading the jungles, in search
Of a hundred or two of Indian warriors, whose ST.
tuation will enable them, and whose disposition
'unhappy leads them, to commit depredations
on our citizens on every occasion, and with
whom there can be no peace while they remain
in the country. Here is a string of cases
in which it happens that Christian State:
are severally, at war with pagans, in6des, and
heathens. Protestant England is at war with
the Indians Of Asia, and all the myriads o
China. Catholic France is in hot controversy
with the Arab of the Desert; the head of tn,
Greek Church fights against all the sects ant
mixtures Of sects, Christian, Turk, and Pagan
round Caucasus and the Caspian; and toleran
America where so much has been done to civi
lie our "red BRETHREN" as Mr.. Jefferson Gale,
them, is yet compelled to make war upon one o
their weakest and most reduced clans.

have the honor to submit for the information Of
the Major General commanding in chief, summary
of the operations of the troops since my last report.
On the 10Th ut. command sent in the di-
recon of the Ockockonnee, (west of Tallahassee,)
for the purpose of examining The hammocks which
border that river and, also, what is termed the Oke
enokee swamps that quarter, being succession of
pine islands, surrounded by belts Of swamps
and "bogs." Signs were discovered which gave evil
dence Of design to cultivate and also camp Of con-
siderable size, which from appearances, had not been
abandoned more than week, and had been estab-
shed for the purpose of drying jerking beef judg
ing from the number of fires and implements.
From this discovery, it was determined to make
movement in that direction. Accordingly, force of
20 infantry and company Of Dragons, together
with the aid offriendly Indians, acting guides was
put in motion, in small d, tachments the 9th inst
the dragons along the east bank ofthe Ockockonnee,
from Fort Barbour towards its mouth, to watch the
crossing places; one hundred infantry, to cross the
river in t attachments, and 10 proceed west
wardIy, with slight departures north and south,
while, from Forts Chlpoa and Barbour, detachments
of 80 men each, to move by separate routes on the
Ocklockonnee, to sweep the entire country be-
tween it and the Apaachicola; and twenty-five men
to ascend the Ocklockonnee, examining the numerous
islands in the river, proceeding up the Toogie far
practicable, and then, returning TO its mouth
tinue up the Ocklockonnee to Fort Braden. Favor
able results anticipated from these movements.
During the operations on the Ocklockonnee, the
whole ofthe dsposabe force under 1t. Col. Whistler
was concentrated at Fort Tanning, and thence pro
ceeded by attachments Of forty men each, to make
animation Of the EsteenLatchee and its connec
ton with Cooks hammock-the detachments iakinl
different routes, so as TO enter the hammock at oppo
site points. At the same time the commands from
Fort Pleasant, and other posts on that line, were pu
in motion, by detachments, with view to co-opera
