sUB.TREAsURY BILL.

We briefly noticed in our last paper the passage
OF the Su5-Treasury Bill by the House of Repre-
sentatives. This was unexpected, we believe,
even to the body of the Democracy for if any
measure has been clearly and unequivocally con-
demned by the people, it is the Sub-Teasury sys.
TEN. 1t is not improbable, however. that the
whole thingis mere feint. The Dominant Party
having solemnly repudiated National Bank, and
the Agency of State Banks, no other expedent
remains to them Of managing the Financial affairs
of the Government. The pride of consistency,
therefore. or the sense Of obligation to do some
thing, impels them TO make the appearance of an
effort for it's re-establishment; although they can
have little idea Of the concurrence of the Senate
as that body is now constituted.
The following are the ayes and noes on the en-
grossmen, Of the bill-which was the test vote.
If this mischievous measure is re-enacted, it is
well thatlhe country should know who did it.

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON.

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore American, under date of the Goth ult.,
says that the hostility between the Benton and
Calhoun wings Of the Democracy rather in
creases than diminshes, and that i. is not pro-
bable that any thing which may transpire, will
bring about bond of union. The same ac-
count of things at Washington was given by
correspondent of the Charleston Mercury,
some two weeks ago-That writer said
81 have it from pretty good authority, that Ben
ton-(caled here the Western Urus) yesterday,
in the presence of several of Mr. Folks friends.
used the most threatening language towards him.
He said he got the nomination at the Baltimore
Convention by id fraud, and he would prove
it; and if he did not mind his steps, he should
have rougher path to tread than even Tyler
This is capital for Mr.. Calhoun's friends; and if
they only stimulate Benton TO little more saw
ageism, Polk will have no alternative but to throw
himself into their arms. Since his
election 10 the Senate, he again lifts his tail on
his back; and nothing but the most explicit in
structions from the Legislature of Missouri, will
induce him to allow Texas TO come into the Uni
on, on the terms of the Treaty. Neither Calhoun
nor Tyler will wear a single leaf in the crowns
which will adofn the brow of each, unsnatched at
by his vndictiye hand"

EXPULSION OF A SENATOR.

William Emmett, a Senator from the county of
Onslow, Democrat has been expelled from the
Senate of North Carolina.-The grounds of his
expulsion appear 10 be these.-He had gone to
Raleigh without certificate of election, and
finding it necessary to have one to enable him to
participate in the election Of officers according to
his story he was relieved from his dilemma by a
person who knocked at his room door in the night
and handed him certificate enclosed in blank
envelope. He acknowledges that he suspected it
was forgery when he presented it to the Senate,
and the handwriting is said to bear remarkable
resemblance to his own. His Democratic asso-
ciates in the Senate affirmed their belief that
it was forgery by their votes-bus they voted
against his expulsion, although full opportunity
had been afforded TO him, and TO them, TO make
his innocence appear, if it could be done.

SOUTH CAROLINA.

The Legislature of this State adjourned on the
18th, after a session Of little more than three
weeks. The resolutions condemning the pro-
ceedings of Congress in relation to Abolition pc
titions and the repeal Of the 25ih rule, adopted
unanimously by the House, were laid upon tbs
table in the Senate, after stormy debate. Tie
Senate's resolutions on the subject of Texas, ibe
Tariff and Abolition, were adopted by the House
just before its adjournment.
Among the acts passed was one 10 provide for
the punishment Of persons disturbing the peace of
the State, {Mr. Hoar's case j and another amend
ing the act relative to free coored persons, so as
to prohibit the operation Of the habeas c1rpus in

STATUE OF HENRY CLAY.

The Ladies of Lynchburg held a meeting on
the Goth, in the Second Presbyterian Church of

erection of the proposed STATUE OF HENRy CLAY

wing, esqrs.-a constitution adopted, officers e.
lected, and committee appointed to solicit dona-
lions. The amount Of subscription is limited to
one dollar for each member, am offers than menu
berr are allowed to contribute.
We observe that the Ladies Of Charlottesville.
Lexington, and some other towns, are also NOV
ing in the work. Would it not be well for the
Ladies of Staunton, likewise, to take immediate
action on the subject? We should not venture to
make a suggestion even, much less an appeal to
them, which might convey the idea that they
needed prompting, did we not know enough of
their individual feelings to be assured of their So
lictude for the success of the enterprise, and their
readiness to unite in it. All that is necessary,
therefore, to accomplish their wishes, they will
permit us to say, is, that few Of them consult,
and arrange time and place of meetng.-There
is no lack of suitable orators among US, whose
services they may readily command, to give ami
nation and interes. to their proceedings.
The following address to the Wing Ladies of
the State has just been issued by tho officers of
| the Parent Association at Richmond.
WIG WOMEN OF VIRGINIA:
| Society has been formed for the purpose OF
erecting Statue to Henry Clay, and we ask your
Jealous aid and cooperation. In associa,inp our
| selves for this purpose, we do not enter the no.
litical arena nor pass the limit assigned to our
sex. Henry Clay has been rejected by the Ma
ton, as we believe unjustly but we bow to the
decision, and declare that our admiration of this
great man is independent OF the party politics of
the day. Asking no voice in the councils of our
Country, we may be permitted to exercise the
privilege of offering tribute TO tried patriotism,
exalted worth, and spotIess honor. AS Virginans
We would record the merits of her noble son. AS
Americans We would testify our gratitude TO the
Statesman and Orator--io the friend of his Coun-
try and the benefactor of his kind We ash the
assistance of the Wing women of Virginia In this
undertaking, and trust wo shall not appeal in

scorTsvlILE ROAD.

Wehave been favored with copy Of the Report
OF Edwin NJ. TAYLOR. Esq, the Engineer APP
pointed by committee Of the citizens OF Rich
mond, and others of,he country interested in the
work, to make survey Of the Staunton and
Sco'tsville Road, with view to ascertain the
pracsicaSility Of Matchmaking the same, which
has recently been laid before the Legislature, and
ordered by that body to be printed. We regret
that its length prevents from publishing it en-.
tire in our paper, at this busy season, when there
are so many demands upon our columns. We
shall endeavor, however, to give as satisfactory
view OF the most material parts of it, as possible
Mr.. taylor sets out by stating his apprehen.
sion that scarcity Of rock for covesing the road
might present the chief obstacle to the accomplish
ment of the scheme. He therefore deemed it pru.
dent to dispatch his assistant, Mr.. r. H. KINNEY,
to make the necessary examinations on that sub.
ject. His report satisfied him that there was
nothing to fear on that score, (the difficulties in
some places, though great, being not nsuperable,)
and he proceeded at once to the regular survey.
1t was his desire, for several sderaons, to ad-
here, if possible. to the present location of the
road, but his examinations satisfied him that some
changes were strictly necessary, and others advs-
able. In looking for the best location, he assumed
"a degrees as its proper maximum grade. On this
subject, Mr.. Taylor remarks:
| Experience has shewn that McAdamized road,
with sleeper inclination than this, does not
yield accommodation commensurate with its cost
The grade adopted, gave good crossing of the
Blue Ridge, and permitted the use Of much of
the present turnpike in other places. A, the same
time, however, If lighter one, say degrees, can
be obtained, without a sacrifice Of these advan-
tages, and too great an increase Of distance, |
would recommend its adoption. At any rate it
would be advisable, in the event that the construc-
tion OF McAdamized road is decided upon, to
make survey for the purpose of ascertaining the
cost OF road whose inclinations should no where
exceed this limit.
diminution Of grade is attended with not only
the obvious advantage Of enabling the same pow
or 10 draw up 1t greater weight, but it also faci-
litates the holding back of the load on descent
a consideration not generally attended to, but
which is OF the highest importance where the me-
falling has become compact and firm, and its sur
lace so smooth that the resistance from friction is
comparatively slight.
The following table exhibits the loads which
the same power can draw up different grades on
a netalled road, horse power being assumed at
the American standard, the weight of large
class wagon at 1900 pounds, and the force of
traction at 70 pounds for one ton:

ONE DAY ELECTION BILL.

The National Intelligencer, in speaking Of the
passage of this bill through the House of Repre-
sentatives, which it regards as expedient enough
in itself, remarks-"Yet it cannot escape the OBJ
servation of attentive readers that. according to
the judgment of the very House that has just pass
ed it, it WILL after having received all the sane
tons of the law be utterly null and void for it
will require farther action of State legislation to
carry out its effects. 1t conflicts with subsisiing
State laws, and is just as much Mandamus to
the State Legislatures as was the District Con-
gressional Election Law, which was last winter
nullifed by the very party from which the pre-
sent plan has come" Such is the beautiful con-
sistency of Locofocoism!
