The U. S. steamer Mississippi reached Gibral-
tar, sixteen days running time from Norfolk Va,
averaging S5 knots per hour, 90 milcs,) and con-
Stunning but 80 tons Of bituminous coal per day.
When this vessel left the United States, she
drew 81 feet 85 inches, being feet as inches
more water than she was designed to carry, or that
her engines were proportional to thus, her engines
and boilers were arranged for an immersed section
Of $40 square feet, and when leaving Norfolk she
immersed a section of SIS square feet.
We are informed that this speed, in view of the
section immersed, and the fuel expended, is unpsr-
aeled in steam navigation, excepting in the case Of
the Missouri, burnt at Gibraltar in 1914

part Of his purchases from the son-in-Laso Of
its senior editor; and we are curious to be
informed at what price that gentleman
bought Of the original parties, and at what
price he sold to Mr.. EWING.
3 But il is one of the peculiarities Of our
contemporary, that evenif he have atruth to
tell, unless he be unusually careful, il will
turn to a falsehood in him before he can
tell it. So. in this case. In publishing
even the record he falsifes tive would
in charity suppose not by design, but from
an unfortunate habit which cannot be bro
ken off. By emitting intermediate assign
ments, or the names in the assignments of
attorneys who are publicly known as large
dealers, he brings the name of Mr.. EWING
in the connexion of immediate assignee
from the original parties, thus giving coun-
tenance to the falsehood which he does not
directly assert
But it is further said that Mr.. EWING,
while Secretary of the Treasury, was called
upon by resolution of the Senate for a
report setting forth the amount of scrip
issued, and to whom, and also to whom
assigned, and that he failed to make it.
As to this, we have examined the records,
and they show, that on the Sd of March,
1841, the Secretary of the Treasury was
called upon for such report to the Senate
at their next session, which ordinarily was
the first Monday of December then fol-
lowing. A special session interviewed,
commencing the Slst Of May, at which
the report was not presented, as there had
not been time to prepare it, having due
regard to the current business of the de-
partment but it was commenced, and in
such state of forwardness when Mr.. Ew-
ING resigned on the 18th day of Septem-
Der as enabled his successor to present it
about the middle OF January, 1842.
But for the reason of this attack, then
and now. Mr.. EWING had made himself
obnoxious to the party in various ways,
but especially by his exposure Of the post
Office frauds, and the law which he re-
ported and procured to be passed, which cut
off that resource of corruption for the future.
Therefore he must be assailed; and when
he said to those in power, " You have
plundered the public moneys" the party,
through all their presses, replied, /" You
bought land SCRIP and this they pub
lished and republished until they no doubt
persuaded themselves that the odds were
on their side-that buying was worse than
stealing, and our contemporary, it seems,
still so considers it.

The albany .Argus explains its position
on the late Presidential election. In the
paragraph which we quoted the other day,
il did not intend to avow preference for
General CAss on the ground that he was
northern candidate. Its purpose was
merely to rebuke the inconsistency of the
Free-soilers, in defeating non slayehold-
ing candidate on the peculiar issues which
they presented. We are glad that jour
nal so able and influential as the .Argus is
prompt to disavow any countenance of the
miscellaneous and dangerous spirit, which
adopts sectional questions for purposes of
political agitation. They should be left to
those reckless demagogues who would sac
rifce the peace Of the country to the graft
fcation of their personal ambition. Those
men, and those presses, that seek to
make the Presidency question between
the North and the South, will find that
they are trimming their sails to a momen-
tary gust of passion, that will hardly blow
long enough, or strong enough, to carry
their barks into the haven which they de-
sire to reach.

REMOVALS FROM OFFICE.


The exercise of the removing and ap-
pointing power by the present Admins
tration vindicates itself by its results. 1t
has brought to light gross abuses in official
stations. 1t has exhibited the character
of the individuals who have been employ
ed in places of trust about the Admins
tration. No man, of any party, can com
plain because MOORE, THOMPSON, BURKE,
MONTGOMERY, BRowN, ENGLISH, and Of
fceholders of that stamp, have been dis
placed. But the friends Of good govern
ment have great reason to complain that
too many persons Of the same principles
and the same feelings are permitted to en-
Joy situations where they can continue to
embarrass, thwart, defy, and defame the
Administration.
The people, in electing General TAY-
LoR 10 the Presidency, did not design
merely to render distinguished acknow-
ledgment of his military services; they
desired to accomplish thereby peaceful
revolution in the Government. They took
the General, as they found him, decided
WING; and they expected him, if elected,
to form WING Administration, and to
conduct the Government in liberal and
popular spirit. He himself avowed,
through his friends in the Philadelphia
Convention, that he should hail with plea
sure any other nomination than his own,
"being persuaded that the welfare of our
country required change Of men and
measures, in order to arrest the downward
tendency of our national affairs" We
cannot misinterpret such language as this.
1t is of record. It was published, we have
no doubt, in every political newspaper in
the country. General TAYLOR subsequent
ly, in express terms, repeated and reafirm-
ed it, and stood before the country as a
candidate for the Presidency who was a
''decided WHIc," and one who believed
that the welfare of the people required
change of smen and measures"
What change of men' Was it to be
limited to the change of the Cabinet min
istersl The heads of Departments of the
late administration resigned their Offices,
as matter of course. WIG successors
were appointed. Did any living man
imagine that General TAYLOR was about
to fill those Offices with his opponents'
Those Cabinet officers found their bureaus
and departments filled with the enemies
of General TAYLoR-bitter, hostile, vim
dctive, rancorous partisans; men who had
ridiculed and maligned him in lbellous
letters and slanderous speeches, and who
were anxious that his Administration should
end in disaster and disgrace. These men
were in all the secrets Of the late admin
istration, participants in its abuses and
frauds, and solicitous to conceal them.
Did any candid and honest man imagine
that such individuals were to be retained
in Officer

MIR. EWING AND his TRADUCERs.

The Union of the 18th instant comes
out with labored article, accusing Mr..
Ewing of having, in and prior to 1888,
purchased Virginia military land scrip,
which issued by virtue Of law, passed
while he was a member of the Senate.

fifteen or sixteen years--to select in that
wide range what he considers the most
reprehensible act of Mr.. EwINe's public

own name shows that ne made no secret
of his acts. Indeed, we happen to have
other evidence on this subject, in our
opinion quite satisfactory-namely, card
published in the Ohio papers, over Mr..
EwNG's own signature, which shows very
clearly what he admitted and what he de-
MED. The charge then and there made
by our contemporaries predecessor, the
Globe, and his co-workers, was, that Mr..
EWING had bought up this land scrip of
the widows and orphans of revolutionary
soldiers for a few cents on the dollar, thus
enriching himself by defrauding them of
what was intended by Congress as a bounty
for the services of their ancestors. This
is the form which the charge assumed in
the party papers in Ohio, and this it was
that Mr.. EWING denied-averring that his
purchases were all, except one or two,
made of large dealers, and all at or above
the current market price; that he never
engaged an agent to purchase up warrants;
and that, if any frauds we're committed
upon the original owners, or any unjust
advantage taken Of their ignorance, he
knew nothing Of it, and was in no respect
responsible for it. And it gives us great
pleasure to know that this statement can
be substantiated by the proprietors of the
Union, as Mr.. EwrSe made very large

What political husls is WIG minis
ter with LocoFoco features-with Loco
Eoco eyes, ears, body and members! Into
what perilous tolls does secretary enter
who sits down surrounded with subordl-
mates whose disposition and desire It is to
mislead and betray him. How can ne
justify to his party and to his principles
If he believes the one and is true to the
other--such blind and infatuated conf
dence If he did not believe in the ne
cessity OF change of men in administra-
ton, how happens it that he found him
self arrayed on the side of the party who
sought it I If he did believe it, how can
he suppose that the party with which he
acted will be content with change of one
secretary for another Inordinate, indeed,
must be the self-complacency which can
suppose that the great WING party Of this
country is to be satisfied with the conduct
of that minister whose zeal for the reform
of government terminates in the gratifca-
ton of his own personal ambition. False
to himself, false to his principles, and
false to his party, is that man in any pub
lie station who suffers himself to be sur
rounded with subordinates and advisers
who are hostile to his party and his prin-
ciples.
We believe that the WING feeling
throughout the country, the feeling of the
friends of President TAYLOR every where,
accords entirely with our own. That feel
ing has been hitherto repressed 1t can
not but find emphatic utterance, how
ever, when we see the Chief Magistrate
of the country--a man gray with years
and covered with honors-assailed as Pre-
sident TAYLOR has been, by creatures
whom mistaken clemency has too long
retained in Office, but whose shameless
and infamous conduct has demonstrated
their utter unftness and unworthiness.
1t is the first duty Of government to sspre-
serve the magistracy, and legal authori-
ties, in honor, respect, and force" The
first step in the performance of that duty
is to purge the public Offices of the men
who hold that magistracy and those au-
thorities in hatred or contempt.

The FLORIDA EvERGLADEs.-There has bean
some discussion in the Senate of the United States
on Mr.. Westcotts bill for the draining of the Ever
gades of Florida. The region of country known
as the Everglades comprises large surface, many
millions sof acres of marshy land in some places
wholly submerged. and in other places partially So
This land is wholly useless to the Government and
must ever remain useless unless it is drained. Mr..
Westcott's bill proposes TO give the whole of this
waste land to the State of Florida, on condition of
its being drained and made productive. If the
necessary works are not commenced by the State
In two years, and finished in ten years. the law be-
comes nugatory
The level of the Everglades is considerably
above tnat OF the Atlantic, and is higher than the
Gull FROM this fact it is inferred that the process
OF draining would be thoroughly successfully, if
prosecuted IN proper manner and upon suffi-
GENTLY large scale. The following description il
from the report of Mr.. Buckingham Smith, who
was employed by the Government some time ago
to make reconnaissance of the Everglades
sThey lie in a vast basin of limestone rock.
Their waters are entirely fresh, varying from one
to six feet in depth. Their usual level is, l am
satisfied more than twelve feet above that Of the
waters of the Straits of Florida and the Atlantic
Ocean, but, of course, not great above the Gulf
OF Mexico. As the Everglades extend southwardly
from Lake Okechobee, they gradually decline, and
their waters move in the same course. They have
their origin in the copous rains which fall in that
latitude, during the autumn and fall, and in the
overflow of Lake Okechobee through swamps be-
tween it and the Everglades Lake Qkechobee is
the reservoir Of the waters of the Kissime river,
which rises up the peninsula some hundred and odd
miles, and of streams of minor extent flowing into
the latter from the country contiguous to it. 1t is
fresh water, said to be deep, and its average
diameter is about thirty miles. The rim Of the
BASIN is of lime rock. The waters of the glddes
die ent distances from the coast of the gulf,
of the straits, and of the ocean, On the eastern and
southern sides of the peninsula they are within
from ten miles of the shores of the straits and
ocean while, on the western side, they are from
ten to fifty miles from the gulf Many small rivers
creeks empty into the bays and sounds on the
southern and eastern sides. In wet seasons, when
the basin is full its waters find outlets over the low
places in the river, and from rivuets running into
the necks of the rivers" -
The bill granting this waste region to the State
of Florida was supported by Mr.. Senator Benton,
who made one of those descriptive speeches, which
no in the Senate out of it can do better The
urged in behalf of the bill seem to be salts
factory and conclusive The proceeds, if there be
any and aboye the expense of draining, are to
be applied by the State of Florida to the support of
common schools.
