PRACTICAL RESULTS OF A HARD MONEY
THEORY. The Secretary of the Treasury was
an unsuccessful supplicant yesterday to one OF
our City Banks for loan of their notes on credit
mere bank rags in the slang of Mr.. Walkers
political suggestion-upon deposite of the notes
Or rags of the U. s. Treasury bearing an interest
OF per CT The proposition of the Secretary
was, that the Banks should place some three or
four millions to the credit of the Treasury OF the
United States, and accept as a security therefor
like sum OF Treasury notes, bearing per Ct
interest in other words, the organ of this hard
money administration offered to the Banks-com-
plete separation between which and the public
moneys OF the axoms of the Baltimore
Convention and is the main foundation OF the Sub
Treasury bill-wih all its apparatus OF iron safes,
Receivers fatty paid, and penal bonds-that if
tsey would advance to the Federal Government
some three or four millions of their paper bearing
5 per cent. interest.
And the banks refused With good reason
they refused, for If such an amount of their ordi-
nary capital was loaned to the government, it
would be so much distracted from the ordinary
capital employed in the regular business of the
cty-unless indeed the Treasury notes deposited
as a security should be Immediately put in the
market by the Danks-which in the present di-
minished receipts at the Custom House could not
probably be done, without causing decline in
the value of such notes.-N. Y. Courier.
LATEST FROM OREGON Mr. Bonney of
Oxford, Ohio, has arrived in town. He left Ore
gon the 18th May. The elections were to
take place in June, for members of the Legisla-
ture of Oregon. Considerable interest was felt
to the result, the great question at issue being
as to whether the sale of ardent spirits should be
permitted in the territory not. He met five
hundred wagons on his route in. Some were
going to Oregon and some to California. Mr..
Bonney robbed on his way in by the Indi-
ans, OF his horses, provisions and clothing, and
travelled about seventy five miles on foot and
alone.-I1depend Mo-, Erposit0r

PROFANITY. A man of sense will never
swear The least pardonable of all vices to which
the folly or cupidity of man is addicted, is that of
swearing. Could he, who so freely INDUCES in
profanity and indecent language could the pro-
lane swearer behold himself in glass; as others
behold him, he would shrink from his own image
as from thing of contamination. In other vices,
more or less excuse of some kind NAV be found.
the qualification of some passion, OF indulgence
OF some appetite, may be pleaded as palliation
but in this vice are no mitigating circumstances
to be tound,-no plausible pretext for such folly.

The following letter from an esteemed friend
attached to the squadron, gives the particulars
of this melancholy affair:

Aususr 90, l846.
| avail myself Of the sailing of the U. S.
cutter Legare to give you an inklng Of what is
going on here.
Santa Anna arrived here on the 10th inst.
from Havana, in the English merchant steamer
Arab, accompanied by his lady and friend, Gen.
Almonte. He was well received on his land
ing at Vera Cruz, but our accounts say not We.

Through the English squadron stationed
here, we were informed sometime since that
Com. sloa,, commanding the U. S. naval force,
in the Pacific, had taken possession Of Califor-
mia. This is what might have been expected.
regret to inform you Of the loss Of the
beautiful U. S. brig TruIton, by all accounts
the best vessel Of her class in our service, Capt.
T.. w. Carpenter. The TruIton sailed from
here in the early par, Of this month for Tam
pico. On the l4th, while standing into the
harbor Of Tuspan, 100 miles north Of Vera
Cruz, a small Mexican coasiing vessel was dis

Carpend, engaged the captain Of this vessel
to pilot him into safe anchorage, but in doing

soon in a very perilous situation. Capt. Car
pender then despatched Lieut. Bergman to the
squadron for the assistance Of a steamer. The
boat in which this officer left was, after tour
ds, . hard pulling, picked up by the ST. Mary's
of Vera Cruz. As soon as our Commodore
was informed Of the fact, he sent the Princeton
to Tuspan.
while the brig was on the reef, after the de-
psrture Of Ii. Bergman, two Mexican coast
ing vessels appeared in the offing: these were
captured by q boats crew in charge Of Ii.
Bushrod Hunter, but this gentleman was una

the time, 20 reach the wreck with his prizes,
and was therefore compelled to make for this
place, where he srrived several days ago. On

but it was supposed that he would leave in q

Gen. Worth, if he continued his march, must
be close on to Monterey about this time. lie

first troops into that place, unless the "adven-
turers' have got there ahead Of him, which
would not create much surprise in the minds OF
some.
During some days previous to the 29ih ult.,
Matamoros had been rife with rumors OF the
taking Of Monterey by party Of men from
San A ntonio.
1t was stated that Col. Harvey, with the
troops at BeIsr, had crossed the Rio Grsnde at
Laredo and thus proceeded to the place in ques-
ton without advising the Commander Of the
movement; but dispatches had been received
from him since, dated at San Antonio; so that
account is out Of the pale OF probability
Now il there is any version Of the affair that
looks reasonable, it is the Mericans'. They
say that letters from Monterey assert that q
body Of Amencsns, who came down BY the
way Of New Mexico, were joined near the
Preside by number Of Texan adpentWerO,,
and the combined force had entered the town
without any opposition. Il 10 believed TO be

Late from santa Fe.

The St. Louis Republican of the I'd inst has
the following:
letter from Mr.. H. Colburn, our correspon-
dent at Santa Fe, announces his arrival at In
dependence in this State, on Thursday last in
twenty-four and half days from Santa Fe.
From the letter OF Mr.. Colburn we gather many
facts OF interest to our readers, which are here
arranged.
Mr. Colbun left Santa Fe on the Sd of Au-
gus!. There were then only $50 Mexican SOL
diers stationed at Santa Fe, but the authorities
stated that they had 1000 men ready to march
alta moments warning to meet Gen. Kearney
and 1000 were expected from the lower coun-
try. Howiar this expectation may be realized,
may be judged of from the fact, that Mr.. Ken
nedy, who had just arrived from Sonora, roper
ted that they had there only 800 soldiers, 200
at Chhuahua, and 40 at FL Passo.
When Mr.. c. left Santa Fe, nothing had been
heard of Gen. Kearney's movements for fifteen
days previous. 1t was not then known that
Gen. Wool was moving against chihuahua.
About two hundred miles on his route home,
he met with eight Mexican dragons, who had
been watching the movements of the American
force under Gen. Kearney. They said they
had not seen the troops, although they had been
in sight of Benrs Fort and to the Simarone.
Mr.. ColburA reached the crossing Of the
Arkansas in ten days, being the quickest trip
ever made to that point in wagons. He found
grass and water scarce. He there met Captain
Worcester Of U. S. Artillery, T. Caldwell and
Chas Bent, only ten days from Independence,
and sent by them to Gen. Kearney all the news
OF which he was in possession.
On the 18th, he met Mr. Turkeys company
OF three wagons, for Taos, and also foriy-thr q
Government wagons and 81 men. They were
lying by for repairs. They had lost fifteen
yoke Of oxen, many of the men were sick, and
they had only two rounds Of ammunition. No
guard could be placed at night, and they had
nothing with which to protect themselves when
hunting their oxen. The Indians were attack
ing some Of the company almost every night.
This detachment of wagons was then sixteen
days behind the rrmy, which Mr.. C. learned
was then subsisting on half a ration of bread
and meat, with neither sugar OF coffee. He exc
presses the opinion that one hundred Mexican
soldiers could capture all the supplies of Gov
eminent stores from the Cotton Wood to Bent's
Fort, fthey only knew theirexposed situation.
II is also stated that the dragons had only fl
teen rounds Of ammunition with them. Mr.C.
says that the Indians were in Santa Fe, offer
ing their services TO Gov. A rmijo, on condition
that he should let them have the spois
which they might take from the Americans,
but that he had refused to accep, the PROPOSE
ton. lfbe had acceded to it, the army might
possibly have been defeated, or their supplies
cut of, which would have caused great dis
tress.

Gen. Taylor has signifed his intention to leave
Camargo about the end Of the first week in
September; he would assume personal direc-
ton of the whole advancing force at Seralvo
thenceforward to head them until they met the
enemy.
There were various reports in circulation at
Camargo, at latest dates, about the position Of
things at Monterey; some announcing that the
Mexican army had abandoned that city-others
that they had strongly fortified it, and would
certainly make a stand.
The volunteers will take up the line of march
as speedy as practicable, for the goal of all the
hopes Of the army, viz: Monterey. 1t was
confidently expected that there would be a
hght--a field fight, Perhaps-in front of that
city.
