MIR. CLAY.

Mr.. Clay arrived at New Orleans in the
steamer Ohio on the 9Th inst, from Havana
The New Orleans Picayune, says -
The o. s. steam frigate Saranac, Capt.
Tatnall, sailed from Havana for Pensacola
on the Sd inst, at half past s o'clock A. NJ,
at / o'clock a. NJ. Mr.. Clay was conveyed
on board the Ohio in the Captain Geool al S
barge, when the OHIO Immediately left, and
passed the Moro at half past IL o'clock -
At o'clock r. NJ, saw the smoke of a
steamer about twenty five miles ahead,
which proved to be the frigate Saranac--
At o'clock P. NJ the Ohio had gained on
her SO as to bring her hull in full view from
the deck, and at half past was directly a.
beam, and about one eight ola mile distant.
The Ssranoc was illuminated with large
battle lights, fore and aft, and during the
passing of the Ohio fired salute of thirteen
guns and four volleys of musketry in honor
of Henry Clay The firing of the rockets
and the burning Of the blue lights SO illumi-
mated the ships that the people could be dis
tinctly recognized from the decks Of each
vessel. Three cheers were given by the
passengers of the Ohio, which were answered
by the crew of the Saranac. The stiffness
Of the night and the calmness of the water
lent enchantment to the scene, which was
one of the most magnificent ever seen at sea
This may be considered one of the finest
compliments that Mr. Clsy had paid to him
during his travels by sea and land.

INDEPENDENT BANKING.

The Richmond Enquirer opposed the pol
icy of establishing Independent Banks, whilst
the Legislature had it under consideration.
The Examiner condemns it bitterly, now
that it has been engraftcd upon the statute
book The South Side Democrat protests
against such hanks as being based upon a
false foundation. The Norfolk Argus, how
eyer, indicates its approval of the system
It appears to us to be much more open to
objection on the score of the conditions pre-
scribed to stockholders, than for want of ade-
quate security to bill holders The charters
provide that upon failure of the bank prompt
" to redeem its notes, they may be protested
and payment secured, from the stocks deposit
ted with the Treasurer. When an ordinary
bank fails, the bill holder has no resourse,
save to receive fraction of his dues in the
general settlement of its concerns. But, in
the case of an Independent Bank, its circu-
lation is limited to the amount Of stock de-
posted. aud cannot exceed that amount, for
it is made felony in the Treasurer to certify
an excess. Hence if the bank has to wind
up, the stock stands ready to meet the full
amount of its liabilities. Rich. Times.

ANOTHER CUBAN AFFAIR.

II is stated in various Southern papers,
that there is without doubt another hostile
expedition being fitted out in the Southern
States against the island of Cuba 1t is to
consist of about four thousand men we'll
armed and equipped. An Atalanta ga
paper, says:
One hundred and twenty enterprising
looking young men took the Macon and
Western cars from this city this morning.
bound professedly for California, but il is
well understood here that their intent desti-
nation is the island of Cuba. Several young
men from Atlanta joined the company be-
fore it left 1t is, perhaps, worthy Of no.
tice, in this connexon that half a dozen
boxes of rifles were yesterday morning ship
ped on the Atlanta and West Point railroad
from this place.
Alphabetical is said to be their rendez
vous. 1t is also stated that money has been
advanced from the island to the leaders of
the expedition.
Though these reports come from reliable
eN"NNF1 w N"""S' SNO muSD cIcucitt "
them. Those supposed to be engaged in
this movement can hardly be so sangulne as
to hope that mere handful of bandits can
in violation of the laws Of their country at
tack this strongly fortified and populous is
land with the slightest prospect of success.
The population of Cuba is about 100000.
and very limited portion of it can be relied
on as giving "aid and comfort" to the parti.
cipators in this movement If these ZEN
terprising young men, will engage in such
lawless undertakings, they had better pass
Cuba and so to Hayti, where they might be
more successful, or at least, teach his black
majesty Soulouquc, whose conduct has been
rather bad of late, to be more respectful in
future, to the nephcws Of Uncle Sam.

MILL BURNT.

The Mil owned by Capt Christian Tabler,
on the Opequon Creek in this County, was
destroyed by fire early on Thursday morning
last, the 18th inst The loss of the Mill to
Mr.. Tablcris between three and four thousand
dollars. 1t was rented by Mr.. Simon p.
Shock, whose loss in wheat and -four is about
fifteen hundred dollars. A number of per-
sons in the neighborhood had small quaint.
ties Of grain and stuff in the Mill, but Mr.
Shook having lost in manner all he posses
sed, is of course the chief sufferer. There
was no insurance upon the property
The fire, we understand, was not discover
cd until morning, when the Mill was nearly
down. The action of a gudgeon is supposed
to have originated the fire. though the Mill
was not in operation after 10 o'clock on
Wednesday night.--Republican.

INTERESTING MONUMENT.

Passing by ST. Patrick's (says the New
Orleans Crescent our attention was attract
ed to a white freestone monument, on which
are carved many military emblems. On
stopping to examine it more carefully, we
learn it was intended to be placed over the
grave of those who fell at the Alamo. The
rock was taken from the walls of the Alamo
1t was chisseled on the spot by an English
and a German artist who had fought in the
battles Of Texas, and, who after Re virtual
peace which followed tie battle of San ia
cinto, spent several months in this pious la
Dor. 1t was purchased by the Republic I;
but the artists claimed the privilege of ex-
hibiting it in the United States. 1t was
brought here, but it did not prove attractive.
The artists had no money, and it was actual
ly sold for the charges of exhibition. For
several years it has been lying among the
rubbish of marble yard OF course it is
valuable only as local monument, and we
trust the citizens of San Antonio will pay a
fair price for it, and return it to its proper
locality.
The monument is of white freestone, COM
posed of pedestal. on which rests an obe-
Hoh. On Two siucS Oh Tue peueSIal are es-
cutcheons containing the names OK the sol
ders, while those of Bowie, Benham, Crock
EFT aud Pranis are inscribed on the upper
lines
The faces Of the obelisk, have these in.
scriptions, in alto relieve, arranged in the usu-
al urn like form.
Upon the East side of the obelisk is in
scribed in raised characters:
ITO the God of the Fearless and Free is
dedicated this Altar, made from the ruins Of
the Alamo"
Upon the South side is the following in
scription;
"Thermopyla had her Messenger of De-
feat but the Alamo had none"
Upon the West side is the following in
scription:
"Be they enrolled with Lconidas, in the
Hosts of the Mighty Dead"
Upon the North side is the following in
scription
BLOOD of Heroes hath stained me: let
the stones of the Alamo speak, that their
lmmolation be not forgotten"

EMANCIPATION IN VIRGINIA.


The preponderancc of the Free White
population in Western Virginia accounts for
the clamor made by some of the Eastern
politicians in the Reform Convention now in
session at Richmond, to secure the contnu-
anee orthc Mixed property and white pop
ulation) basis for representation.
The protracted debate in the Virginia
Convention on the Basis of Representation
closed on the 18th inst. Henry A Wise
has announced himself in favor of the White
Basis, and it is supposed that the settlement
Of this question will eventually lead to e.
Emancipation, and make Virginia a Free
State.--N. Y. Tribune
We do not think Soft settlement on
the White Basis is meant In Western Viz
ginia, the white population preponderates
vastly over the black, it is true; yet, slave
property is held there to sufficient extent,
to prevent emancipation in the State, on
account of that preponderance, Slaves form
much larger item of property in the East,
than West; but the proportional difference
in the number of Stare holders ia the two
sections, is not SO great as some suppose -
Let the basis question be settled as it may,
We believe there is now, and will be then,
less disposition in Virginia to emaucipate
the slaves, than there was ten yearc ago
Had the abolitonsts and their journals,
pursued differen. course, the case might
have been different

FROM OREGON.

The California journals notice the recep-
ton OF aelyiees to the 22d of February. The
extracts given are of little Importance.
The Legislature had adjourned, having es-
tablisbed, as was expected, the seat of gov
ernment at Salem in Marion County the
penitentiary at Portland, in Washington
County; and the university at Marysville,
in Benton County. The Governor, however,
refused to sign the act.
Mr.. Bush had received the appointment
ct State printer of Oregon.
Colonel Beverly S. Allen, from Tennessee,
one OF the commissioners to treat with the
Indians of Oregon, had arrived. The board,
consisting of Governor Gaines, Judge Skin
ner. and Colonel Allen. was fully organized,
and would proceed at once to its duties.
A letter from Linn city, dated February
21, announces the return of some mining ad-
venturers from the Klamath who had been
very successful. The result, it was expec
ted would be large emigration for the
mines.

"vvAs ST. PATRICK AN IRIsHMANi"

We take the following curious statement
from the Albany Argus 1t will be news
to most people that the Patron Saint of Ire
land was Scotchman:
This question, which you proposed to me
on est Patrick's day." is thus answered by
the historical authority extant:
Celestine, the bishop of Rome, first sent
Palladius into Ireland, to spread christianity
among the barbarians of that island, whose
labors were not crowned with much success.
After his death, in the year 432, Celestine
sent Succathus, Scotchman, whose name
he changed to Patrious, patrick, man Of
vigor, and, as appears from the event, not
unfit for such an undertaking
Hence, St. Patrick, although there
were some Christians in Ireland before this
day, has been justly called the apostle Of
Ireland " [Mosheim's Ecci HIST, rol. l,
SIG, Murd0ck's translation
In an article on this subject, the Penn
sylvania Inquirer of raceut date says -
"St Patrick was not native of ireland,
nor was he born in Scotland, as many sup
pose; but, according to Morris History of
Ireland, he first saw light in the neighbor-
hood of Boulogne, in the ancient amorie
Britain, during the year 3S7." 1t will be
seen that historians disagree. Eds. ar
