Correspondence of the Paltiruore Patriot "Tlorlda unr" St. Aiuistine, Sotli Dec. IS 10. If you could bo an eyc-witncss to the scenes that are daily passing around us if jrou could see, and hear and know as much as I do of the condition of this unhappy country, and of the way in which the "war is carried on" you would not wonder that our patience is nearly exhausted, and we sigh for the -1th March, IS 11, as the commencement of a new era in our history. God grant we may not be disapptiuted. The inconceivable blindness and infatuation of the Government, every one believed, had reached the utmost verje l human folly when the "treaty"' of General Macomb was made last May with a fewvagabond Indians, and when ho pompously announced to the nation that "the. war va$ at an endV The complete lailure of that wretched abortion, and the subsequent treacherous murders by the Indians in all directions of citizens and soldiers of women and children during the ejchtence of the truce, induced the general belief, even among those who were witnesses of their former folly, that the Government should at length open its eyes to the disgraceful and mischievous policy it was pursuing, and abandon the futile attempt to treat with the faithless bandits who had often taken advantijio of their imbecility j and credulity.

Correspondence of tlie Haltiraore Patriot. Wasuinuto.v, Jan. 8, li; 11. It has been a very prevalent opinion here, that Mr. Benton either wrote, dictated, or at least suggested the articles with which the Globe has recently abounded in reference to the men whom it is so fond of parading as likely to take an active part in determining the policy of the coming Administration, and in regard to the measures which it so indusiriotisly gives out, are to be brought forward after the inauguration of President Harrison. This opinion is confirmed by the exhibition the Missouri Senator made to-day. He favored ns with a mere rijf'acitncnto or hash of all the trash which be has'tiecn pouring out on the public, through the conduit pipe of the Globo for some time pist. In the Congressional report, transmitted to you, the resolutions of Mr. Chit-tknpi-.x for a distribution of the proceeds f the silt s of the public lands, and on the subject of the pre-emption policy, weie given at length. I ask the particular a'tention of your readers to them; for they will uiKiucstionably become the subjects of much important discussion hereafter. Hi: nt o.n started up ns snnn as they were read, and in a Bo;nbates Furioso style which culled down upon him general ridicule, d bounced them in such tcrmi, that sovcmI gentlemen who happened to have re;d the Globe in the morning, recognized the author of its declamatory twaddle at once, rufiing ai.d swcllirg with his im-

. t . . t 'he pnMic rxpendi'urcs only from 13 mill-ion-i to 19 million i't j Pn tending to infer these issues from Mr. Cimtti'.ndex's speech, (it was all prc- '"") he bowed Ins thanks to the Ken tucky Senator, and sat down amidst the ill-suppressed jeers and laughter of all present. Mr. Crittt.ndex told him, in reply, that he was welcome to all the advantages he could derive from his public declarations. Thinking himself too humble to Since the Missouri Senator was in such a view for giving thanks, Mr. Crittenden said he would go fiirther, ami present another claim to his gratitude. He would not only sustain the DisTiuncTiON Policy, but be would go for laying taxes to laisc a revenue to meet tho wants of the Government, under an economical Administration. Mr. Chittenden concluded by pouring a fire f f sarcasm and raillery into the hypocritical pretenders who have had professions of reform, retrenchment, and economy, on their bps for the last twelve years who, alter expending millions beyond their income, nnd loaded the country with an enormous debt, now come heie, and recommend, in their expiring moments, the I iirac'.ico of a ri"id ceonomv: The most amusing incident of the day, however, was tint Mr. Calhoun, immediately after Benton's ihodomontade about the horrid design of distributing the pro ceeds of the land sales among tho States i in fair and roiiitable nronortions: and after bis charges about withholding the products ef the land sales fioni the public revenue that aficr this displ.iy of the Missouri Humbtigger, Mr. Calhoi n should start up and give notice of his intention to press forward his proposition for an entire region of ti e States f all the public land? vin;j within tluir Limi positions weie obvious to all- and the declaration of Mr. Cauiovn created much mirih throughout the chamber.

Or, if if any additional stricture be pioduccd, it will be but of tcmporaiy character, soon to bo succeeded by greater activity and animation in the various channels of business and employment. As the details of tho article arc so voluminous, we must be content for the present with giving ns above the conclusions of the Cjazette on the important subject of resumption. We may stale, however, as one of its elements, and as referring specially to tho II. S. Rink, that the immediate liabilities of that institution, on the 5th insf. were as follows: Individual depositee $V)03,000 Depoite of distant banks. 2,007,000 7,512,000 713,000 0,500,000 Circulation, Due City Bank, 8,2,-5,000! j The d"posiis, it is held, canDot he ma

Specie, 1,300,000 500,000 407,000 2,073,000 54,940,000 In addition to this "(sars the Gazette "it is understood that she had a right to draw largely on England, and has every reason to expect, by the next packet, authority to draw for several millions of dollars. Under such circumstances, she can have no difiiouliy in resuming.'1 The detailed statements given in ihe article, as to the condition of the other fourteen harks located in the city ami county of Philadelphia, are of a character to shew that thev are fuliv able to meet j the responsibilities of their position, in lease of resumption. But two of these hurtccn banks, and these the smaller ones, have an excess of circulation, over oilier notes ou hand. The excess in these cases amounts only to $143,110; while the other twelve banks have an excess of other notes of nearly six millions of dollars, over their notes in circulation. Public opinion, universally assigns to the oth er banks of Philadelphia a littler state of prcpaiedness for resumption, than that of the U. S. Bank. Consequently, we need very little more, as to t lie condition of the former, ns exhibited in this authoritive ariicle. For, if the Gi.zette shews that the U. S. Bank is able to adopt and maintain resumption, the conclusion will be readily adopted, that the other banks of that city can nnd will resume. As the effort is so soon lo be made in Philadelphia, this needful strength, by the other banks there, for the purpose, and this confidence m it, must, of coujse, be high iy gratifying in all quarteis. From the Baltimore Patriot. Disastrous Flood loss of human utir paper una morning teems witu appalling accounts of disasters by freshets resulting from the rams oflast week. The loss of property on all hands seems to be immense; and in several places human life has been added to the sacrifice. Most afilictively rife with such painful intelligence is the following extract of a letter, received by private express, dated MUNCH CHUNK, Jan. 7, 1S41J Thursday evening, 11 o'clock ) One of the most awful and tremendous freshets that has ever happened in this part of the State has taken place here. It commenced raining last evening, and has not ceased yet. There will be few closed eyes in Munch Chunk this night. Our town is all alloat. Tlie re is a mighty torrent running the whole width of the main street some six feet deep. On one side the inmates have left the lower story and taken to the second for safety. It is an a'vful night. House after house is going down the Lehigh. All three of the saw mills have gone. Two slune stables at the hotel also gone, with the bridges, ifce. All the canals, locks, &o. gone. Whole houses arc passing. One of the large packet boats broke loose, and passed down close to the piaiza of tho hotel, which is two stories high. What the damago is below we dare not think of. We fear ere tomorrow's dawn many valuable citizens will have found a watery grave. Yriday evening. Our darkest foreboaings have been more than realized. All our beautiful navigation, above and below, is swept away. Dams, locks, lock-house, inmates and all, are gone. Those tremendous locks arc entirely swept away. The bridges above and behnv are gone. The large railroad bridge at the end of tho Narrows, the one at Lehighton, (inp, &.c, arc all gone. Out of twenty houses, from Sipiiic Sayres lo Lehighton, but four remain; and very many of the inmates are gone with them. Those who heard them. sny ,l,eir shrieks for help was most appalli ji'L'. F.very account grows more dreaded. ! The river is a clear stream from mountain lo mountain. Squatting a Little. The Clermont t ( .

Speaker: I rise to let you know that 1 did not dodge this question. I only squatted a little, in order to lake a better view of the subject, and I now say 'no" to that critter." The m inner in which this was done excited a universal burst of laughter among those present. ('oirs holding tip Milk. A writer in the Now Knglaud Farmer gives the following as his remedy to induce cows to give down their milk feely. First he ascertains what kind of food the cow likes best; whether it bo meal, oats or potatoes; he takes tho food and coaxes her to one corner of tho yard or into a stable; ho then eives it to her, and commences milking: if the cow refuses to givo her milk, ho tries the same the second time, nnd ho always succeeded to iret tho milk as freely as 1 from any other cow, unless the food was neglected, or contained something she did not like. My father bought a young cow last winter she had her calf quite - iy to ,he .pring; on taking awsy th

The cow says, no supper no milk. This is the fourth or fifth cow of this description he has bad, and he has always succeeded in gelling the milk, as freely as from anv other cow.
