SAVAGE TALK-The New York Tribune is
well pleased with The Presidents Message,
and esecms it as victory on the side of !tee
soil 1t is quite savage to Mr. Howard
Il SAYS:
"'ihc language of Mr.. Howard in the
House on the reception of the message is that
Of IN iasoleni traitor, aid ought to be resent
cd as suca by every citizen who believes in
settling our domestic di>pues by votes and
Judicial decisions rather than by arms"
Tho Tribune concludes thus:
elf Tcyls wants 10 get out of the Union,
let her 60 without a Struggle or murinur;
but that she should remain in il and bully it
by military force is not tolerable.'

The last SwindIe.

The explosion of the Havfe de c rsee Md ] Bank turns 0ue to be morc of a break up than at 6vr anticipated. A letter from that place 10 the Balii more Sun, dated Aug. 3l, 1850, says:

On Friday night the place was guarded to prevent his escape. He will probably bc arrested b day provided they can bsiag justihable charge against him, which is verydeubtfni.
 Immediately upon il becoming known that the Bank had closed, meeting was held Of the direc- tors. who repaired to the bank and s-ized sn empty safe few notes of hand the largest of which are presumed to be spurious, One, far instance of a large amount, drawn by John Jenkins. Thera is no such person in this community. At first ti'' directors thought to go shea and redeem the out standing uotes but a more thorough investi gation satisfied them il would be nothing more than the effects Of gavanic battery on an inanimsie body, a lew convulsivs gasps, a motion ai the hand or foot when al i. over. in few days more thor on rh investigation will take place, when nothi D 2 will be brought to light more than Can tell you now When the Bank first went into operation, cue J.

Collier was appointed Tn his strad, at which time aotes to the amount or Sl9,000, sigued by Austin, were called in, and instead of briug hnreed, were locked up in slie, where they all were last Satur- day. On the following Fl ursday not one of them was to be found about the Bank but were as plenty black berries the street.
