5000, 900 OF PAPER MONEY oNA SPECIE BASIS
OF $l5 ,000.-The new batch of Ohio banks are au-
thorized by Kelley's law, under which they have
come into existence to issue fipo dollars in paper
money for every fifteen cents in GOLD and Sill
YER which they have in their vaults. This in an
astonishing fact, and it is not less true than it is
alarming. WeinvIte all hsnest men to refer to the
banking law and satisfy themselves of the accuracy
Of this statement 1t ia an unfortunate fact that the

Z. "BANKERs MUST BE TAXED LIKE OTHER
pEopLE.---The federal assessor for this township.
Chester Bidwell, made the above remark to US the
other day, and added that the people would never
submit to the present mode taking banks.
Wehave not conyeIsed with an honest and in
telligent whig upon the subject since the passage
Of the law, but holds to the same doctrine, and all
that surprisesus is that Mr.. Bidwe and other fed
eral leaders did not find this out before the deed
was done. But so it is. Federalism Is not capa-
Bile Of making laws fit to govern free and equali-
ty loving people. Their legislation is alwayspa
tial-beneftting one class of people at the expense
OF another. "Give them rope enough and they
will hang themselves" as they have done in this
case. Iyun,6nlf Democrat ma saief 5hg

MARRIED WoMEN.-A law recently
passed by the Ohio Legislature. having
in view the protection of the right p
married women, contains the foil wing
among other provisions: 3l
/. The real estate of the wife. wheth-
er inherited, given or devised by deed
or in trust, is protected in all forms
against the creditors of the husband
not for the wife only but tor the hers
of her body. 't
2. The personal property, such
stocks, money, &C., (which the husband
has not actually converted to his own
use) is protected against his creditors.
8. The furniture and household goods
bought with the money of the wife, or
given or devised to her use, canno OF be
taken for debts con tracted by her hus-
band. ,. ''' @ III
A. The interest of her husband in the
estate Of his wife cannot be conveyed
except by Deed properly acknowledg-
ed &c. Faaas ta0 '5' ra
This act, however, does not take eff.
feet against the debts contracted during
the marriage Of the wife, and before the
passage of this Act.

near 1000 vessels, and during the war
we took from her 400. Before the
war she seized and made slaves Of 5000
of our citizens, and we in the war Kill
led more than 5000 other subjects, and
caused her to expend such a sum as
amounted to 1000 or 5000 guineas a
head for every slave she made. She
might have purchased the vessels she
lost, and have used the 5000 Of her men
killed, for the purpose to which she ap-
piled ours, have saved the four or five

VIRGINIA ELECTIONS election in this
State has resulted in favor OF the democracy. Not
wthstanding there was some division in the dem
ooratic ranks, they have carried the State trium-
phantly. The Washington Union after summing
up the result, says there is democratic majority
of in the Senate--and IA or Is in the House of
Delegates. Joint majority more than 20 in all prob
ability. This result secures the election ofa dem
ocrat to the United States Senate, in the place of

the service that the cause of this step
is that old source Of complaint, brevet
rank. But whatever may be the cause,
the whole country will regret the loss
Of Gen. Worth. II is no disparage-
ment TO others in the service to say
that, in the highest and best qualifca-
tions of a general officer, Gen. Worth
has no superior in the army.
Another untoward event in the SER
vice we have to chronicle. On the
morning ofthe 10th instant, Col. Cross,
the acting quartermaster-general Of the
army, left the camp on horseback un-
attended, on business in his department.
Not returning within reasonable time,
alarm was excited in regard to his safe
ty, and parties. were sent out for him,
but could obtain no satisfactory tidings
of him. Three or four days elapsed,
and the gravest fears were entertained
for his life, when happily, through the
energy and adroitnees OF an officer Of
the dragons, it was ascertained that
Col. Cross had been taken prisoner by
party Of Mexican rancheros, consist
ing Of a captain, lieutenant, and five
men, and carried off. Not the least ap.
prehension is now entertained for the
personal safety Of Colonel Cross, but
1t is not known in General Taylor's
camp, where he is. Mexican officers
positively deny that he is in Malamor-
as, and we must wait patiently little
while for the mystery to be unravelled.
But let us repeat that, at last accounts,
the officers of Gen. Taylor's camp felt
no alarm whatever as to the persona.
safety Of Col. Cross.

RESISTANCE OF THE TAX LAw.--Th Mount
Vernon Banner Of the 2st April, says; /" Almost
revolution is on foot In Monroe township in re-
gard to the odious whig Tax Law. The assessor
has been round and left his blank forms, requiring
the tax payers to list their property and swear to it,
which they refuse TO do. We have received their
objections, signed by nearly two hundred Of the
tax payers the township, without regard to party,
but they came too late for insertion this week.
Be patient, gentlemen, and you shall have the
pleasure OF being heard next week." In another
article, the Banner pertiDently observes /" The
present law would suit every honest man II il was
what It's title purports to be, " An act to tax all
property according to its true value" But the
heavy complex machinery erected by 1t, to drag
every thing which the poor man possesses Upon

rich, s.wbat every honest man, intrath, ought 70

CoNeREss.-The House has finally passed a
bill to establish the Smithsonian Institution. Our
readers win recollect that Mr.. James Smithson of
London. by his last will and testament gave the
whole of property to the United States, to found
under the name of the " Smithsonian Institution, "
an establishment for the increase and diffusion of
knowledge among men. The whole amount of
his estate, if our recollection be correct IS about

THE THREE MILE PAINTlNG.-The
Louisville, KY, Courier, OF the 10th
inst, says:--We passed a few moments
yesterday in the rooms of Mr.. Ban
ward, the gentleman we spoke of some
weeks since, as having been industri-
ousy engaged for several years in de-
signing and painting grand panorama
of the Mississippi and the Ohio rivers,
on canvass covering an extent of
three miles. His work is one of i'm
merse magnitude, but he is constant in
his labors, and IS progressing finely.
He has at the present time, completed
the Mississippi river from New Orleans
to some distance above Vicksburgh,
with views of all the towns, islands, and
sugar and cotton plantations between
those places. Every thing is given
with truth and accuracy, and with the
finest scenic effect. Beautiful moon
light scenes, magnificent forests, the
richest shrubbery, steamboats, majesti-
calIy ploughing their way through the
water, or taking in freight and wood,
ssbroadhorns'' quietly floating down
the streams, and all the features which
characterize our western rivers, are
portrayed by Mr.. Banvard with won-
derful force. The Mississippi will be
completed in some two or three months,
when Mr.. B. designs taking il East.

FOR BURNING PHOSGENE GAS, is confidently

light is produced by the burning of an eriform Gas
which rush s. in beautiful jets, of small peri Ta
tons in Patina. Its construction is such that while
exceedingly beautiful, both in appearance and per
formance, all possibility of accident from its use is
entirely removed. The materials and workmanship
of it, make its great simplicity sure to keep it in or
der; and though its lights the most brilliant and iu

than any other artificial kind
Il requres no cleaning or trimming, nor any glass,
as do the Solar, Oi! and Camphne Lamps and burns
equally well either with without shade or glass
and entirely free from any smoke or odor.
1t is admirably adapted to all places where light is
required.
The opinion of the scientific may be learned from
the fact that the American Institute awarded TO these
Lamps the First Premium on Lamps, at their last an
