vi. Calhoun The Washington Cor.
respondent Of the Philadelphia Ledger
makes the following st;,tement relative to-
the acceptance Of The Office Of Secretary
of State by Mr.. Calhoun ~ Cal.
#houn's readiness 10 accept the appoint
ment was known before the. late Inelau-
choly catastrophe. Forlit was in conlem-.
plalion to nominate Mr.. Henry Wheaton,
now our Minislerln Berlin, to the vacant
.Judgeship, aad To appoint The late lament
ed Mr.;Upshur Minister to Prussia. Mr..
Upshur only wished TO retain his office Of
Secretary Of StateIill tile arrival of the
treaty with The Tariff league, which he
expected in about four weeks. ~
So far as this relates TO Mr.. Calhoun,
we feel aulhorized,jlo say, tha, in its en-
.tirely unfounded. We Iearntbat,he5 first.
-intmation he had of bisintended nomiaa-
lion wasby letters received from Wash
ington datedz,he day after the catastrophe
on board the Princeton. His answer9was
moi waited for but The nomination sent in.
and unanimously confirmed, withou, hear
ing from him on the subject. That he
leaves his retirement with great reluc-
tance. we know. Nothing bu, tho i'm
porlance of The questions at issue and The
manner in which the appointment has
been rendered by; the constitutional; au-
lhorilies and received by the people, would
induce him to do so. And we. believe he
accepts, with the express understanding,
that he Is TO be at liberty to retire imme-[
dialely on the adjustment of the Texas
and Oregon questions or so soon as it
shall be asceriained tina, they cannot be
adjusted by treaty.
In proof Of Mr.. Calfoun's reluctance TO
give up his agricultural pursuits. and EN-.
ter again on public life, we have recently
learned from Washington, thai The distin-,
guished gentleman who now fills his place
in The Senate, and who was once "a poi,i-
cal opponent, on hearing regrets express.
ed at Mr.. Calhoul's retirement, whilst
80 many great questions were yet pending
masnanimously proposed 10 resign, in or.
der to permit Mr.. Calhoun again 10 enter
the Senate. To this, Mr.. Calhoun posi-:
lively refused 10 assem-. The proposal 10
relinquish office under such circnmsl auces,
exhibits a generous disinteres;cdness on
the part of the Senator, Of which few men
are capable. And we are. gratifed 10
learn from the same source from which we
derived the above, that Judge Huger is
universally esteemed at Washington, and
"well sustains the dignity and character of
a South Carolina Senator

the Address and Resolutions Of the Central
Committee, to the Democratic Republican Par

careful perusal, as we feel satisfied that their

one, under present circumstances, that they
could have suggested, so as 10 avoid the charge

The CASE OF THE PHGSIx BayK OF
COLuaIRuS

COLUMBUS. ts !
MIR. Frederick Martin, President of the
Phenix Bank Of Columbus. was arrested
and committed 10 gaol, in This city, on,
Tuesday evening last, under warrant is-'
sued by Thomas Martin, Esq, Magistrate,
on the affidavit of gentleman acllns un-
der the authority Of the Governor of Geor-,
gia: The affidavit alledging ,hatMr. Mar,
tin was President of the said Bank, and
that The Bank had become insolvent-and
had fraudulenty failed 10 redeem lis noies,
according to the law Of Georgia. The
Georgia law on the snhject, euacts that
any Bank which shall become insovent,
or fail to redeem its bills, in specie or cur.
rent notes, shall be presumed 10 be guilty
of fraud, and makes the President and Di-;
rectors liable to indictment for the same,
and on conviction, to; be putto hard labor
in the Pcnitenliary, for not less than one,
nor more than ten years, unless they can
prove that the Bank failure occurred
without fraud on their part.
Mr.. Martin left Columbus for New York
some time in February last, and about
three weeks after, while be was in New
York, the Phcnix Bank failed. Procee-
dings were i'm Iiedialely instituted in Geor-
gia against Mr.. Martin and others, and an
Executive requisilion prepared by the
Gov. of Georgia On The Governor Of NY.
for the arrest aud surrender of Mr.. Mar
tin. The agents of the State of Georgia,
finding MIR. Martin here, on his return
from New York, bad him arrested al this
place, as above stated. On Wednesday
morning Mr.. Martin was brought before
his honor, Judge Wardlaw. on habeas cor
pus, and his discharge was claimed chiefly
on the grounds-f. That the alleged Of
fence against Mr.. Martin was mere mis-
demeanor, and the Constitution Of lhe U.
States only authorised the arrest Of fugi-
tives from justice of another Slate in cases
of ''lreason, felony or other crirne."a2 O.
That the prisoner could not be held fur
gitive from justice, as he had left the Sta1e
of Georgia three weeks before the com.
sion Of the alleged offence. His Honor
took time to consider the questions, aud
yesterday morning refused TO discharge
the prisoner, ruling i. That The alleged
offence, although but niistemeanor, was
very grave. one under the laws of Geor-
gia, and sufficient TO warrant the detenlion
of the prisoner. 2. That the absence Of
the prisoner from the State, the time of
The conSummation of the offence was not
sufficient 10 exempt him from arrest, es.,
pecially as an affidavit had beeo submit
ted, stating that the causes Of the Bank
failure had existed anterior 10 the 'depar-
ture of the prisoner from the State.
The order Of his Honor was that the
prisoner should be remanded TO Jail for two
weeks to await the expected requisition
from the Governor Of Georgia on the Co
vernon Of this State. 1t is likely, howev-
CIR. that MIR. Martin will not await these
forms, but at once return to Georgia with
