There is a young lady at Saratoga of such
exceeding lightness, that Whit Of wind blew
her over the house, like thistle down. She is
a blue-eyed creature, and so volatile and ethe-
real, that we should not be at all surprised to
hear that she had retired from the world, and
taken up her residence in q honeysuckle.

says:
) There has been such 8 marked decrease in
the sickness prevailing in the city. that the Sa-
maritan Society closed the Inarmary at Barton
Academy on the LIST. inst. The Can't Get Away
Club intended to shut up its In6rmary at the
Eutaw House yesterday, but some Of the few
remaining patients could not be removed with
safety, and IN consequence it will be kept open
for . few days longer.
4 The Tribune also gives the following account
Of railroad accident:
On the arrival Of the down train from Citro-
nellie on Sunday evening, the locomotive was
detached as usual short distance from the
depot. At the proper point the engineer At
tempted to stop the engine, but something being
out Of order, the machine drove ahead with un-
diminished speed and encountered under the
shed large passenger car on the Same track,
giving it such q sudden and powerful momen-
tum, that It pitched through the south end Of
the depot building, breaking off heavy square
timbers that interposed, and brought up near
the opposite side Of the street. The locomotive
followed until it struck the ground, where it
stuck hard and fast, leaving the tender on the
track. The damage sustained was trifiing.

From the Palmyra Wig.
LEI THE AUGEAN STABLE BE CLEANsED,

Mn. EDIToR:
The political elements, for the past week, have
been ina perfect ferment. Never in the hiso-
ry of Palmyra, has there been such rejoicing on
the part of the wings, and upon the part of the
unterrifed democracy has there been such long
and doleful looking countenances. You are
aware, Mr.. Editor, that this state o. things has
arisen from the unlocked for faci, ihut foT oT1oo
in fifteen years the Legislature has elected a
whig President and majority of whig Direct
ors in the Branch Bank ut this place. This pla.
ces the whole and sole control Of the Bank in
hands Of the wings. And here il is proper TO
pause and reflect upon what il is best for the
wings to do. For the last fifteen years they have
been manlully battling to get at least fair = p
resentation in the Bank; but never until the pre-
sent time, have they been enabled 10 accomplish
their purposes. (Manytlhanks TO Messrs. Moss
and Martin, our representatives, for bringing
about this new state Of things.) Some Of our
friends have thought this bad stroke of poi-
10y on the part Of the wings, and give as rea-
son, that the Bank is in an unsound condition
that it will at the winding up prove TO have
been an improbable concern--and that the
wings, as a party, will have TO shoulder the
whole blame Of its mismanagement. For my
self, take the reverse Of this proposition, and
say that it is the imperative duty of the wings,
now that they have 60. possession OF the Bank,
TO march boldly and fearlessly up to their duty
and act without fear, favor or affection 10 any
man; and if they find that the bank is in fall
ing condition, Ga thing do not believer il will
become their duty to take such steps as will Sc
cure as much of ihe peoples money as possible.
And in order that everything may be carried on
Ifaithrully-and as the wings must shoulder the
responsibility, whether it be for good or evil |
propose that an entire new set of officers be put
in, from the Cashier down TO Notary, go in
for a clean sweep, and say, as haze headed
this article, Let the Augean stable be eleansed.
It is well authenticated fact, and the history of
the Palmyra branch establishes it, that the bank
OF the State OF Missouri anl its branches has
been prosttuted to the basest of purposes. The
bank was chartered and brought iutp existence
for the benefit Of the whole people, bat instead
OF the original object being carried out, il has
been made party institution, and TO subserve
party dricksters. II has been made 80 hy the
ldominant party. And oil that the Mhgs can d
Twill be to take charge Of il, and save what Is LET

Nothing so much vexes a physician as TO be
sent for in great haste and to find, after his ar
rival that nothing, or next 10 nothing, is The

gent case of this kind recorded of an eminent
English surgeon
He had been sent for by gentleman who
had just received a slight wound, and gave his
servant orders 10 go home with all haste imagi
nabla, and fetch certain plaster. The patient,
turning little pale, said
Good Heavens, sir, l hope there is no dan

if the fellow doesn't run like a race horse, the
wound will be healed before he can possibly gel

Mr. JONES then moved to refer the bill to the Com
mittee on the Judiciary, with instructions to amend
AZ TO abolish capital punishment in the Distct Of Colum
bs and on this motion he demanded the previous CUES
The question being taken the motion Of Mr. JONES' il
was disagreed to- when
noes 81
The SPEAKER laid before the House message from
the President of the United States, in answer the
solution Of the House requesting information relative to
the seizure by the Spanish Government Of the barque
Georgiana and the brig Susan Loud.
Mr. POLK moved that the message be referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs which agreed to, and
it was also ordered to be printed.
Mr. p said that his purpose in having the message re-
ferred to the Committee Foreign Affairs was pre-
vent its being printed until it could be examined by that
committee The relations existing between this Govern
ment and Spain Of that character which he did not
think would Justify the publication Of this document
iii it should be examined. He therefore moved
consider the by which the message ordered to
be printed.
Mr.. STANLY hoped the motion would not prevail. As
the condnct Of the Administration had been arragned
he thought it than proper that it should
have IN opportunity vndcate itself and he therefore
hoped the House would not reconsider the vote by which
the message was ordered to be printed.
Mr. POLK said it not his purpose to deny the Pre-
sident hearing, to do him any injustice but he made
this motion from Of propriety that all commune
cations of this character should be examined by stand
ing committee before made public.
Mr. STANLY said that he did not impate the gentle
man any design of doing injustice to the President but
that would be the effect of his notion should be agreed
to. They had had very sharp controversy from one
quarter in regard to this case and it was more than
Justice that the papers should be allowed to before the
country If at this late period of the session they should
be referred the Committee Foreign Affairs for the
purpose of examining whether it would be expedent to
publish them, under the rules that COMMITTEES would
never be reached He thought there could be no impro
prety in publishing these papers, and he hoped 1t would
be done
Mr. POLK said that the gentleman would remember
the publication of the Cuban correspondence, and he
thought that if that correspondence had first been exam
ined by the Committee Foreign Affairs, it would not
probably have published He did not think it would
do any injustice the President to refer this message
without printing.
Mr. STANLY said that in tile course of his experience
as member of the House, which had not been brief he
had never known such course to be taken in reference
to messages from the President.
Further debate ensued; when
Mr.. HOUSTON demanded tie previous question.
