Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. " WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 1846. j Times have changed, and men have changed wonderfully with them, here, since the good old days of the Republic, under Jeflereon, and Madison and Monroe. The oneman power, and ihe progressive, democracy, have flourished together, the latter being always subservient to the former. In the days of the sage above mentioned, it was esteemed a high honor to - be in the Cabinet. The head of a Department was selected with great deliberation, being recommended by great influence and popularity at home, and wide renown lor probity and talents. But, being once appointed, the management of the Department was confided to his judgement, and nothing would have been more offensive or disperaging to the incumbent, than for the President to go into his De

partment to intimate that he should remove one or appoint another, No head of a department, of character or spirit none who could be relied upon for an independent and incorruptablediachargeofhis duties would have submitted to such opprobrium. Hence, when Mr. -Jefferson was President, he was urged to remove a man in the Custom House in Philadelphia, who was altogether, as an officer, acceptable to Mr. Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury. . Being importuned to direct his dismissal, Mr. Jefferson told the applicants 'Why, gentlemen, that is a matter with the Secretary of the Treasury how can I hold him responsible, if I claim the power of appointing his subordinates. Oh, no," said he smiling, "where I to dismiss Mr. M. I should sot wonder if Mr. Gallatin were to dismiss me I" : Mr. Monroe was very auxious, when President, to get a clerkship in the office of Register of the Treasury, for a very woithy man, in adverse circumstances, but was obliged to give it up, the Register telling him he had no vacancy, and could not make one. It was as much, 1 think Mr. Adams said more than he could get done, or some occasion, when President, to get a young gentleman appointed Midshipman by the . Secretary of the Navy! How all that isx changed. Now, even toe secretary of State, he who ranks all his colleagues in the Cabinet, has been reduced to the abject condition of admitting, even to applicants for small, offices, that he has no independent control--that the President (and such a President!) takes these mat ters under his personal supervision; often ac ting under influences and with aims unknown if not hostile, to the head of the Department to which the appointment belongs, if that head is high enough to see the " Presidency even in the distant prospect. The only case of self-respectful resistance to Executive dictation, known of here lately, was on the part of Mr. Calhoun, when Secretary of Stale under Mr. Tyler. Like a man of honor and a gentleman, when he took charge of the Department he civr -vprtr n-rmllpmnn at nncnin l a J fc, v,.. . understand, that he wished to kuow, nothing of their politics; all he should ask was, what he intended on his own part, a faithful discharge f their official dutie! And when the President ventured an intimation that a particular cleikship winch Mr. C. had offer-' ed to A. most be given to B, "the attempt to' interefere was at once, wfili spirit and firm-" ness, but respectfully resisted, and the attempt was not renewed. - How different is the case now. . Not only was Auditor Clark removed without the acquiescence of Mr. Buchanan, as -he said, (both from the 6une State,) at a Cabinet Council held in his absence Walker and Cave Johnson only being present, but even a J lidge of the Supreme Court, an appointment consideied as all judicial offices aie, as connec ted with the State Department, is tnnle and that too, from and for his owir State, without any consultation with Lis Secretary oi State, , leaving him as he says, to get the first knowledg of the nomination by a note from a Senator ! Would any premier ol high and lofty spirit, submit to such indignity? What would Mr. Munroe have said if he had; been thus distrusted or slighted? . The Vice President too was equally ignorant that Woodward was to be nominated, and to the inquiry of a Senator who he was, clearly intimated that he was some man of little or no account.' lie, however, does not claim lo enjoy the confi dehce of the President, and has no right to complain, but for the Secretary aof State! his first confidential adviser, to be kept in ignorance of the appointment of Judge, from, his own State, to the Bench of the Supreme Court until called up m, as it might have been to counter sign his commission proves one of two things distrust or contempt to which of these two sentiments has he the best title? His submission settles the question! Cowering like this on the part of his Cabinet, to Big Hickohi, was not so bad. There was an overpowering prestige of authority in his manner a force of character united with a certain dignity and manliness of person and stature, before which his most bellicose and war-like Secretaries always quailed and bowed submission. -Even his highest law-officer, so far degraded, not himself, but hisstann.au in nnriw nnn mnmiv an nmniai opinion, at the dictation of (hat man of 'iron wilr but to live and that in high station one with which spirit and talents and selfrespect are associated in face of such thing as little hickory ! Oh pudor! Why he's no more to be compared to "Old Hickokt, whose skin he would assume, than a hedge hog to an elcphanl'.and however spell bound or place bound his Cabinet may be, you may re6t assured that hs party in Congress have already takea the measure of his foot! What you see of unity of action, is trom no unity ot respect for him, but fiom the - cohesive power" of another sort of him, -i II. mey are iuny or suspicion ana distrust; hence you see men taking opposite courses, all pro- , tes3 to be moving mjsupportor his policy and his wishes. In this affection of independence ."of his Cabinet, and of not being "governed by cliques" in his disregard of solemn promises, as in the case of the Colle c torsh ip to Coooikgton, in New York, all parties begin to see. that he is going for little hickory! His calculation is, that when these heads of cliques are worried to a certain extent, in fighting for the prize, the followers of each, caring more for the "plunder" than for their leaders, will end the dispute by awarding the Piesidency a second tune to little hick ory! "While the Secretary smiles 'submiss ion to the nominor he kicks resentment at the unoffending nomine. It has happened

that, Woodward has been rejected by a large majoiity although there is a large majority of Locofocos see in this ihe difference be

tween big and little hickory ! OBSERVER. i What's in the Wind. The Spanish Naval force at Havana, 3d inst., consisted of the ship of-the line Soberano, 74 guns; frigates Christina and Cortes, 50 and 44; sloop Maria Louisa Fernanda, 24 guns;. brings PalriTacon, and Havanera, 20 guns; steamers Bazan and Congrcso: seven schooners and three barks. This is the largestnaval force that Spain has had in the West, Indies for some time, and is the remnant of her once powerful fleets and squadrons. 5 What is all this about? Is there something bre wins in Mex ico? Or is the Don afraid that Buil, his old enemy is about to seize' Cuba? Oris San Domingo to he restored? BANK NOTE ENGRAVING STATE bank of Indiana; Cincinnati, in addition to the fame she has already acquired in the aria and sciences,' is last gurniag an enviable reputation tor the superiority of her bank-note engraving. ' ; ' We were shown yesterday, at the, office of Messrs. Rawdon, Wright & Hatch, some new notes for the State Bank ol Indiana. In the arrangement of the bill?, Mr. Harrison has been permitted to execine hfs own "taste and judgement; and the consequence lias hen, that he produced notes quite superior to any that have heretofore been published at that office. - The Five's have a vignette composed ol five figurts, representing Commerce, Agriculture, Manufactures, &c., and supporting between them a highly , ornamented figure 5; On the right there is a beautifuT'country girl, with her milk pail resting on a stile; and on the left a young reaper with a sheaf of wheat and a sickle in his hand, . . - . - The Ten' have for a . viginette, a splendid eagle, perched upon the limb of a tree, with railway cars, canal boats, &c,, in the distance. On the left end of the note is a superb engraving emblematic of Springs It ia composed of three figures, two youths bearing Flora round the world, who, as she passes, is strewing the ground with flowers. It is a beautiful device, and admirably executed,. For the'purpose of preventing the alteration of three notes, Mr. Harrison has adopted a plan which we think will be effectual. On the Fives in . the place intended for the signatures of the officers, is lightly etched 5's, and on the ten's the word ten, so that it will be impossible to al ter the denomination without crossing the sig nature of the officers. " - Messrs, Rawdon. Wright & Hatch, have been established in this city for five years, and under itie direction ot air, Harrison nave acquirea a well deserved reputation, but we think we haz ard nothing In suying that the notes referred to above, will bear r"iaoio -comparison with j oUgwUung in the West whether engraved east ot west of the Mountains; and re flects the highest credit upon the taste and skill of Mr. Harrison under whose immediate supervision they have been produced. Times. APPRLH ENDED REVOLUTION. We learn trom the N, Y. Sun of the 17th inst. that letters of a stirring character have been reconived in that city by a number of French Tefugcess, who had taken refuge in this coontry, calling upon themk to return to Europe with all possible despatch, and be prepared to joiu their menus in I' ranee at an early u ay.. A lie close alliance betweeu England and Louis Philippe is creating excitement all over France, and the journals are assailing Guizol for surrendering ihe interests and honore of France to the hands of the English. " - - . 'W 7 - ' 'Aocording to the Sun's speculations, Louis Philippe, wishing to have his dynasty sustained in power in case of his death, has induced E rtglaud 4,lo' enter into a secret treaty to do so, provided the Prince de' Joinville does not assame the crown' of Regency. The English bearing in mind his pamphlet, wherein he proposes to put down the F nglish navy, and know ing the energy of his character, are apprehen sive that if occasion offers he will get up a par ty to sustain his "pretensions. England has agered that France sh&'l hivj some alditional possessions (which England will seize in case of war) in the West India Islands, in South A merica and iu the Pacific." . ' The reader will accept these speculations of the Sun tor what they are worth. A Heroic Man. In the obituary notice of Dr. McCaw, of Richmoud, Va., recently deceased, the following thrilling iiicideni is noticed, connected with the destruction of tie Richmond theatre many year ago, when bo many of the best , blood of Virginia haplessly perished : - - When the appalling burning of the Richmond theatre took place, ia the winter of 1811, Dr McCaw was present. 5 At the cry o I fire, reco! lecting the great crowd and narrow lobby, he leaped from the side box on the stage, in the hope of securing the escape of his party behind it. Pressing the curtain aside, he discovered such a mass of flame as to most effectually cut off all egress that way. Ruiurniog instantly by a backward leap, and supporting his wife, he forced Tiis way to the famous east window around which be found clustering and suffocation a crowd of persons, whoso every effort had. proved unsuccessful in opening the shutters. which' were strongly barricaded ou the suteide By an effort of strength almost supernatural, be dashed lo piece the obstacle, Slid the first gush of fresh air gave life to uutnbers who would have Derished without it. Taking? his Stand then by the high window announced his deter mination to secure the safety of every fecial before any man should 'scape. This he carried into effect, and then, literally surrounded with flames, assisted the men in the same way. At last, after saving very many lives, his clothing reduced to a crisp, as the floor sunk under h feet, he leaped from the window, -the last human being that escaped through that outlet. liis fall produced an injury of the thigh that ren . dsrsd him powerlcts for motion, and be lay un-

der the wall of the burning . building until hie

own son a mere lad, recognized, hia . voice, crying for aid, and dragged him down hill out of danger from the failing wall. " Months of severa pain followed, duing the 'first weeks of which he could not permit the removal of a single piece of Ins clothing; when at length this was done, the very flannel next his skin was found ;burnt, and a universal cicatrix of the back evidenced the amount of heat he had borne, the painful effects lof the burn having been completely concealed by the greater suffer-i ing from the torn thigh. The heroism of this conduct waa only equalled by the modesty which prevented his giving the details for publication, often solicited from him. The earnest anxiety of the speech-oppressed members of Congress, to catch the eye of the Speaker, and to obtain the floor, that they may rid themselves of the burden that bears then, down is admirably hit off in the following sketch: ' No tiger ever looked more intently on his prey, when about to make the fatal leap, than do some fifteen or twenty members watch' the eye of the Chairman at the close of a speech, peradveulue they may be ao happy as to be re , cognised by him as to have obtained the floor.A most laughable incident occurred yesterday.: Mr. Cobb, ot Ga. had the floor, and by the way, made a very sensible speech. Seventeen individuals, (orators, men in buckram,?') crowded around Mm, as the place where of all pilier placea, they might catch the Chairman's eye. AsMr. C. turned to look at the clerk, to ascertain when his hour would expire, the seventeen braced themseves, throwing back one leg, push-, ing lorward the head and partly extending me right had with the most intense anxiety exhibred in 'every muscle. In the middle of a sentence down came the hammer announcing theexpiralion ol the hour. "Go!" shouted a wagish mem r ber from Alabama al the top of his. voice, and instantly the seventeen rprang to their leet crying "Mr Speaker,"as loud as they could bawl. Ladies in the gallery were frightened into hys terics, an immeuse roar ot laughter echoed throughjthe Hall, while Mr. Holmes of South Carolina, was seen, with horror depicted in his counteuunce, counting, with his pointed finger the numerous asoirauta for the floor. It was a rich scence one w hich would have made Ho garth's pencil laugh. , . . From Thompson's Dank Note Reporter MYSTERIES OF WALL STREET. Tub Seience, of Coknerino. We have before stated, that when the Brokers engage to deliver stock al some future day, they are called Beabs, and those who engage to receive the stock ore called Bulls. The Bulls corners the bears thus: Supposing Erie Railroad is selling at 60, ami there are 10,000 shares of the stock ooly;-7tlie beare, think ing that it ia more likely. tOfall than rise, offer freely to sell at CO, at SOyj's.: Contracts are made for a large amount, sa 2000 shares, by UitiiiT hull, who acts tor tie association of bulls. The stock ia found trnn along for thir ty or forty days, fluctuating between GO and 62. During tiH9.1be Bulls make as many time contracts as ihey can all of which must mature withiu ninety'days from the first contract. When they find that ihe Bears are a little shy of their contatcts, they ostensibly stop operating in Jhat 8TocBrnjii;mpidy a pimp ta srr.alf broker Wuo buys'tojtue large, bull) .13 buy Erie for cash. In this way all the stock of the Company, or nearly all, is taken up at 60 or 6a. At this stage of the gime, the assjcutte bulls get together, compare notes, and appoint atrusee, when the corner is over, each his due por tion of stock, and share each his due portion of spoils. Example. John put in the hands of the trustee, Jacob . ' ' 52,000 2,000 no l - 4t ' ' 4,000 Total ; -;: 8,000 And the time contracts which they assign amount' to The total number of shares in 6,000 the company being only ten thousand. Now, if the tiustees ho'ds, when the corner break, the whole 10,000, as is generally the the case, John must take back 2500, Jacob 2500 and James 5000 shares. The profits in money which shall occur in the trustee's hands, must be divided, in proportion to the amount of stock put in. It will be seen by the programme above, that the Bears are short 6000 shares, and that the Bulla have it in actual possession all but 2,000. The trustee is iow invested with full power to operate. .He buys all the stock he can at 70 then at 75 then at 80 then at' par. It is now ten days before the great day two of the the small bears fail four more go to the bulls and compromise, by paying half the loss already against them, and get up their contracts but the fat bears are bound to suffer, . 'At this stage of the game, it is evident that the only question, to be settled is, how much will the shorts stand before they tail; for , the bulls can make any price they please without absolutely purchasing another share. , . . -A DREADFUL CASUALITY, Ah appaling disaster occurred at the coal mines in Carhondale, (Peon.) on the 12th instant, by which some 50 or 60 were literally buried. alive, of whom it is supposed that 15 have lost ineir lives. - The accident consisted in the tailing in of a number of acres of the roof of the mi ue, which happened al about 10 o'clock in the inormu", while liia haoia were at work. Among - those buried in the ruina was Mr. John Hosier one of the ovorseets, who was rescued on the 3rd day after the occurrence. From the New York Courier we learn that at the time of the crash he was in the second of the three parallel mines or roads', nearly a mile from its month, and at some distance Irom the shaft by which the mine was ventilated. At the instant of the crash all the lights of the mine were extinguished, includa ing that ot the lamp win cliche held in haadi and be thus lund himself suddenly en veloped in darkness. He first attempted to dig a passage , into the adjoining chamber. which alttr a long time he affected,' but found entrance barred.. He returned to his brst po sition, and then went bnck to the rear, or headings or escape, he again ' returned and saw a light in 'the third chamber, towards which he directed his steps. On his way, amid the utter darkness ot the subterranean passage. he stumbled over a car aud lay for some lime stunned by liis fall. Oh recovering 4he tight had disappeared, and he resumed Ins wander ing in the darkness. Finding, however no way ol escspe, he returned to his first position, where lie remained until" the next morning, when he perceived another light and oil calling for aid was finally taken out by ao assitant overseer and two men who were searching for him ml others. Mr. Hosie's escape is certainly remarkable; and from his success, and thu fact that he re mained there from Monday mornine, the time

Of .the accident. Until Wadneadav. whan Kfl

was released, it supposed that. others may still be immersed in these underground passages. In ihe mines there are about 30 miles of railroad o that there is wide -pace for wandering in the dreary darknes of the place. Only (ourieen persons are still missing. A bov was taken out but died soon after. Some 50 or 60 persona were "ithe mine at the time. . These mines are those from, which Lacks wana coal is taken, and constitute part of ihe property of the Delaware .arid Hudaon Canal Company. The pecuniary injury sustained by thia accident will be trifling, but-for some weeks must cause a serious derangement of their worka From 12 to 15 acres of ihe roof have settled down, by crushing the pillars and porps. The most melancfioly part of the disaster is the loss of life. Mr, Hoaie did not see or hear any of the fourteen men that are now missing. He was aloneMEDICAL.
