After the vote, Mr.. Webster said he should be
in favour of the establishing assay offices in Cali
| forna, as many as may be necessary, and thought
proposition of this kind would meet with gener-
al concurrence to which Mr.. Mangum assened.
Mr.. NJ. afterwards said, however, that he voted
against the amendment with great reluctance and
desired time 10 consider the matter. Mr.. Under
wood and Mr.. Bradbury expressed themselves in
favour of the California branch mint, and inst
the New York one. The further consideration of
the bill was postponed until Monday.
We infer from the votes and speeches of Sena-
tors, that at least an assaying office, and probably
a branch MINT will be established in California
Richmond, or Norfolk, has better claim than
Charleston for branch mint for the branch mint
at Charlotte, in the Southern border of North Ca
roina, fully accommodates all the gold region of
the Carolinas and the recent successes of Virgin
ia gold-miners give her strong title to the prvi
lege of "coining money"
We learn from the Milton, IN. CO. Chronicle,
that at meeting of the friends of the North Ca
rolina Central Railroad at Caswell Court House,
on the 18th inst, after Gen. R. NJ. Saunders had
made an address, Mr. w. P Tunstall, President
of the Richmond and Danville Railroad Compa-
ny being present. was called upon, and delivered
a speech which greatly amused and delighted his
audience. The Chronicle says:
/ "He paid North Carolina the highest compliments
said that she had the best Government on earth
denounced State line distinctions between this State and
Vrgnia-he knew such ine-did not want to know
them and would not-the interests OF the people OF the
two States in this vast region were denical-and
shoulder 10 shoulder they should march. He
bid the of Central Road God speed
and in the biting he rebuked that stand
still do nothing spiri: in North Carolina and Virginia,
that asked for "a little Sleep little slum
ber and whichhad kept the two States behind all the
rest in prosperity"

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

/ On Sunday night week, about two o'clock
a fire broke out in the freight Depot of the
Richmond and Fredericksburg Rail Road
which proved very destructive in its effects
indeed the building and property therein
has been destroyed and Of that portion Of
this once spacious establishment, nothing
now remains but the broken and still smoul-
aering walls.
/ Tie fremen were prompt in their attend
ance, knew their duty, and, with their en-
gines and apparatus, faithfully performed it
BY their exertions The workshops and LEGO
motives were saved and the fire confined to
the freight Depot where it originated. Oc-
casionally,, howeyer,it extended itself to a
freight or burthen eat Several Of which were
standing in the yard,) but the damage in
this way was slight HI
The Company was insured to the extent
Of their property tin every way but the a
mount Of wheat and corn destroyed cannot
be less than 60OO bnshels, which, with $50
s5arrc,,s o. u .,our a.solestroyed, will amount
70 800. The lOss IF the grain destroyed,
We rsgret,t to learn will fall heavily upon some
Of our farmers The owners Of the grain, in
some cases, we are informed, had, uufortu-
nhtely for themselves, allowed it to remain
for several days, and, in some cases, for
weeks, to suit their convenience for removing
the same. -Ricls. ENqairer. HI

state what would have been the condition q

cured He thereby shows that, if ths

have been money enough in the treasury I'd
pay current expenditures without borrowing
Nov. any body but fnancier who esd!

revenues, and all it can manage to borrow,
would suppose that this is a very reasonable
mode of arriving 1t the result sought Itis
clearly enough tie only mode of getting at

These same gentlemen complain that The
Secretary shows that !. If the money which
was paid out for the expenses OF Che Mexi.
can war had been left ih the treasury, shefe
would have been no de6sit.n This Is aneth.
er mode Of stating that the deficit is oeea-
stoned By thesexpenses Of the Mexican var.
How is any ingenuity to escape from the
fact, that if there would have been money
enough in the treasury for tie current dis.
bursements but fol. the Mexican war, the
Mexican war expenses were the cause ot
therenot being money enough IN the treasury
