Mr.. Secretary walker and the Public
Finances.

| The Union, in allusion to the recent pro-
ceedings of the House Of Representatives,
says:
Son the 18th inst. they passed bill for rails
ing ten additional regiments. YSeerday they
passed at one heat, the loan bill. The first bill
to raise more men, the last to raise money!
Both are wanted-wanted immediately.n
If it is true what the Union SAYS, that the
Treasury requires this loan immediately, what
a gross and palpable Aersption Mr. Walker has
practised on Congresssshd the nation, when
but few weeks since, 10 his annual report to
the former, he stated he should only require to
negotiate one-half of that loan merit summer,
and the balance IN the autunn!u In a solemn
and deliberately penned official document, in
tended for the information and government of
the representatives of the people, he gra7ely
tells them that with the cash then in the Trea-
sury-the balance of the loan of SlO,CCl,CJo
authorized at the last session, and The current
revenue, he requires no other supply until the
ensuing summer, and yet, before half of the
month of January is expired, the Union first
lectures Congress for not having already provi-
ded means to supply the Treasury, and now
| tells us, it is wanted immediately.
When Mr.. Walker told Congress he should
not require any portion of this loan for more
than SIX months, and the event proves it is re-
quired i'll as many weeks. he either deliberate
ly stated what he knew was untrue, or he was
most grossly and shamefully ignorant of his
dutv and tho stuatipn Of tha
which, in an evil hour for this nation, he has
been called to preside-he can choose between
the two alternatives, for he can in no other
mode explain his conduct
Another deception, equally glazing, was in
stating that under continued state OF war,
that a loan of $4,000 600 would be sufficient
to cover the wants of the Treasury up to 30th
June, l848-it is really insulting the common
sense of every man in the nation to put forth
such declaration and ask credence for THE
has obtained Sl0,OO0,0o0 by loan on Treasury
notes since the 18th November, all of which
besides S4,000.000 then in the Treasury-it ap-
pears is exhausted, IN about two months and
half, being an extra expenditure of Sl4,0O0,C00
over and above the current revenue, and in the
face of such fact, we are called upon to be-
lieve, that 100000 will cover the extra ex-
pendtures above the usual receipts, for the
next seventeen months, say from February lS47,
to Goth June, I848.
We will leave Mr.. Walker to calculate how
long 100000 of dollars will furnish supply,
under an expenditure at the rate Of Sl4,O00,0OO
in two months and half, or how much it
would require at this latter rate, to furnish a
supply for seventeen months.-E 0. Bulletin.

Pipes for water Conveyance.

| Sir Robert Peel declared his opinion, not
long since in England, that gla. water-pipes
would soon be laid down for the purest con-
veyancs of water to the people. 1t is well
known that water is poisoned by lead-pipes,
and more than year ago, we published GER
tain articles in the Transcript, written by a
respectable physician of this city against the
use of that metal for water-pipes. 1t has gen.
orally been thought that the action OF water
on lead is owing to the presence in it of car
bonic acid, which forms-carbonate of lead,
which is a soluble poison, paper, howev-
err, has recently been read before the British
Association of Arts and Sciences, which is
much commended by writer in the Gardner's
Chronicle" of London. Mr.. Osborne, the
chemist and author of the paper referred to,
shows that atmospheric air, even when free
carbonic acid is absent, is powerful solvent
of lead, and that in some waters the evil is
increased BY the presence of chlorine, which
forms chloride Of lead, another poisonous
salt soluble in water. 1t is, therefore, clear
that lead pipes should never be employed for
the conveyance of water to be consumed by man
beast or plant. 1t is very true that water inn
Pure-as for example, spring water impreg-
nsnt with lime, is said not to act rapidly on
lead, in consequence Sc its throwing down a
crust, which guards the lead from the solvent
action of the water; but is is BY no means
clear that THIS preservation is as effectusl as
is supposed, and at all events il can only OPP
crate after time. We therefore, entirely a.
gree in advising all persons to avoid the use
Of water brought through leaden pipes. Glass
is quite unobjeetionable, and iron nearly 90.
Green bOtlle-gIass is cheaper than iron, and
Mr.. Osborne, as well as Others, advises that i,
should be employed iOrPuPOses Of conveyance.

The Natchez Free Trader publishes let
ter from Col. Reuben Davis, Of the I'd Missis-
sipp Regiment dated 28th January, at New
Orleans, giving an account Of the movement Of
his command = together with the hardships
they have had to undergo since they we're mus

lect shown by the U. 8. oficers--of the refu-
sal to allow him the use Of the bsrracks-of
the want Of accommodation--of medicine-of
nourishment, and Of the outrageous conduct
of the Steward of the Hospital towards the
volunteers. He gives Gen. Brooke and Capt.
Belger credit for their sympathy and efforts
to provide for the sick The execution of or
ders being slow, Gen. Brooke senta Steamboat
and had the sick brought and placedsin ! Hos
pitalin the city. The Colonel says:
ssFae severity of the dispebssssoii spread
gloon. and dismay throughout the regiment
Hearts less stout would have sunk despairingly
before such great calamity, but true to their
noble spirit, which the sons Of Mississippi
have always born e, they qusiled not, but look
ed with buoyant hopes to the approaching con-
flict, where they could have borne death and
battle with him. We sail tomorrow, all is

unable to march weep with DISAPPOINTMENT

affection and has wept for her sons-soon she
shall hear from us in our glory and rejoicein our
