Otra CA^AL.—From Indianapolis we Have just learned that a bill has passed the House making Canal Scrip receivable for tolls and water rents west of Tippecanoe river, with interest at 6 per cent. And that another bill has passed the Senate making the Scrip receivable for tolls and water rents on the whole line, east and west of Tippecanoe, without interest. It is said that one or the other of these bills will pass both Houses—and if either passes, the letting* are not to be stopped, but the work not to commence until Sept. 1st, except on the heavy jobs, riuch as the crossings at Cole, Sugar, Racoon, and Otter creeks.

The Santa Fe Expedition on our first page is this week brought to the capture—sent under guard to San Miguel—thencc to Santa Fe, &c. S! The communication of R. B. C. ts publisn* «d by request. Of the matters in controversy between the author and the Express, we know nothing, and have nothing to do. ^4*

EXCHEQUER.'—In another column will bo found the vote, yeas and nays, on th? subject •of the President's Exchequer. Rather decisive we should think. One hundred and ninety three to some eighteen. The Exchequer would seem to be in worse o-Jor than the Sub Treasury—both bad enough in all conscience. It is a pity that the will of the people as expressed by their representatives, cannot be carried out, in a matter so important as that of the currency. There is one plan of currency that would answer. All others have been tried and found wanting. A National Bank is much wanted and we think would not be found wanting. A slight change of tho mood and tense, would still make all right. But, President TYLER wont oblige the people ~~ha mxitdo this, andiie wont do that—neit er will he do as he pleases. At least, so says Mr. MARSHALL of Kentucky in his recent speech in Congress. Mr. M. said that Mr. TYLRR really reminded him of the story of a *. boy, to whom his mother said "Jack, will you have this!" "No!" "Jack, will you have that!" 4,NO!m "Then Jack do as you •'.* please!" "No! I wont do as 1 please!" *ff But the poor Exchequer, of all other plans seems to be the most repudiated. After a full investigation by the able committee of w&ys and means, to whom the subject was committed, this scheme is represented as unwise, dangerous and unconstitutional. The committee in concluding their Report say "That, in their opinon, if this plafl should be adopted as reoom mended, it would overwhelm the Treasury with bankruptcy, corrupt., the Government, and confer upon the Executive moat dangerous authority and, if should be stripped of its formidable powers, It would bis uselees in attesting the great objects fbr which it was designed. They therefore deem it essentially defective and incapable of any modification, at least without an amendment o( the Constitution, that coald justify its adoption."

Mr. Gregory opposed concurren#* Mr. Mitcheir protested against thitway

State had been districted and esp^w«lly the way the two northern districts Sad been framed by the House, by which ite democratic majority in Elkhart had been^niothered under the heavy whig majorities of St. Joseph and Laporte, which he sau would eternally disfranchise them.

A message, was received from the House stating that they had unanimously adopted the report of the committee of free coiifcrence.

Mr. Walpole favored concurrency Mr. Bradley was astonished that committee had sacrificed so much as had. There had been no compromise ma Senators »n that committee had gi He contended that Fountain count bs placed ifi the Vigo district and ft in the Montgomery district. He CQU for concurrence,

Mr. Parker contended tliat he had ^n that committee labored with the utmost jfcal to procure the assent of that committed to the Senate's amendment spoken of by Br&dley. He had found that the only alterhative was to take this compromise that was Adopted by the committee or to fail entirelyjuj the districting. He regretted most especially that the Tippecanoe battle-field should be placed in a determined locofoco district, but there was no help for it. Both parties were as near agreeing now, he thought, as thtyr ever could be .Mr. lnnnehill favored concurrent It was true there were quite a number ofyWhi districts in the bill, but he, for his part, like to run in a Whig district.

Mr. Morgan thought the compromise unreasonable and could not in justice to his constituents concur. His district acdDWing to it contained 81,000 and the next one only 57,000.

Mr. Ritciiey did not appear to like ^e report, but did not speak explicitly. Mr. Gregory said no party would father the bill as it now stood and again o&>osed concurrence. Individual interests had too much to do with it, and those who vot^d for it would be ashamed of it within ten jfears. Mr. Gregory continued at length.

Mr. Ewing opposed concurrence, anStsaid the bill as it now htood was not just. He contended that the district in which he resided was framed without any regard to justice, equity, or the act of Congress. Ho saw|hat the next legislature, no matter which fiarty had the majority, would condemn the act, wipe it from the statute book, jind cn& on Congress to perform the duty of framiq£ the districts out of contiguous territory which this hill had not done.

Mr. Alexander opposed concurrency but not from' the same principles which actuated other gentlemen. His country had no identity of intereM with theiist|icum ffhiamtlr now* ptttcedjknd a regard Tor the wishes of his constituents impelled him to oppose .concurring with the report of he committee.'

Mr. Pennington favored concurrence, believing it was as near satisfactorily to all parties as could be accomplished.

The question was then taken upon conducing with the report of the committee with tbe following result:

AYES—Messrs. Aker, Burke, Curr of J., Carr of L., Collins, Cornett, Cotton, Defrfees, Dobson, Everts, Farmer, Harris, Hetfield, ^Hoover, Kelso, Kennedy, Parker, Pennington, Pitcher, Read, Ritchey, Sands, Shanks,

FROM TEXAS.

About 400 Mexicans were killed io this engagement only foor Texians were killed.— It is not known upon what terms the Texians surrendered. Only two Texians escaped, who were found at Gonzales by our army when it returned, and it is from these two men that Mr. Needham derived this news.-*-The names of these two men are Chalk and Sinclair. They say that they secreted themselves in some canes in or near the town, while the Texians were fighting in the stone bouses and they left in the eight wheo the firing bad ceased. They

JL.ATE AND IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE. From tie New Orleans Bee, January 18. By the steamship Neptune, arrived this morning, we have later intelligence from Tex as. It appears that a portion of the invading forces, after capturing the town of Mier, were attacked by a large party of Mexicans, who. after a desperate struggle, retook the town, and captured 250 Texians. The following from the Houston Morning Star gives the news more io detail: "Since our paper went to press this frtoftiing we have seen Mr. Needham, who arrived last night direct from Bexar. He states that Gen. Somerviile, with a portion of the army that remained under his command, about 200« men, had returned to Bexar. Another por tion of 300 men left the command of General Somcrvillve, elected Col. Wm. S. Fisher commander, and went down to Mier, and captured the town but a shower of rain came up just after they had captured it, so that they could not use their rifles tp advantage, and the Mexicans arrived, ami, after desperaj* ted with much modesty and christian chart engagement, retook the town and captured a bout two hundred or two hundred and frfig of our troops. During the engagement our troops: Jbat he was captured seven pieces of artillery, which ~*:l r"~' were retaken by the Mexicans.

also that the

fight lasted from 12 o'clock till 2 P. 11. the next day, and during atl this time only four Texians were killed, and fear hundred Mexkilled 1 Tins story seen* quite

leans too incredible fbr belief. The army under Gen. Somerviile beard nothing of it until they reached Bexar. Mr. Needham says Shfcietr reported that the Mexicans were commanded by Generals Ampudia and Canaies, adl that Uie whole Mexican force wis 1,500 or 2,000.

Mr. Needham mentioos that our army, after the capture of Laredo, moved down on

the east iMink of theRto Grande to the mouth of the Salado, and found Canaies, with 300 men, ready to dispute the passage hut our troops crossed without difficulty, and he retired without firing a gun* The troops Uien proce»ded to Guerto, and encamped near the town the Alcade came out and informed the General that the Mexican troops had fled, and that he would furnish any article they required- .n-

Tlie General made a requisition for the article most needed by the soldiers, and they were promptly furnished by the Alcade.— Get). Somerviile, believing that jltis force was too weak to proceed further, gave orders for the army to return to Bexar. This gave dissatisfaction to a large .portion of tho troops, and, in consequence, the division was formed, and the party under Col. Fisher, refusing to obey orders, left the command, as before mentioned, ond went down the river to capture the small towns above Matamoras." "P. S. By the arrival of the Spanish bng Tonanto frorri.Laguna, we have received information that a party of eighteen hundred Indians attacked a place called Champertown, about the beginning of the month, and captured it. The inhabitants,authorities^ &c. had fled to Laguna for safety. ..

Correspondence of the Ifrumrk Sentinel father Mathew—Hi" Appearance, and Mode of Administering tke Pledge.

LAKE RIDGE, N. Y* Jan. 17th 1843. Throughout our whole country there is an intense interest in every thing connected with FATHER MATHEW. His sadden appearance before the world as a great reformer, the almost 'miraculous successes which have attended his efforts, and the immense positive good wrought for his native land, have given him a place in tber same category with Luther, 2wingle, and Knox. Throughout Great Britain, proverbial for its political rancor, there is hut one opinion of Father Mathew. Conservatives and Reformers, Radicals and Chartists all agree that he has done more for Ireland than all the ministries that ever existed. In Ireland itself the feeling amounts to idolatry. •.. ..

During my late tour I had the pleasure to meet this eminent individual, and become acquainted with his manner of administering the pledge. Whilo I was in Edinburgh he visited Scotland for the first time, by invitation of the Glasgow teetotallers, and the friends of temperance in

4Auld

Reekie* went

over 1000 strong in an extra train to meet him. On our arrival in Glasgow we were greeted by an immense assemblage: a procession was formed, and we moved, as fast as we could move through the miserable, tatterdemalion mass of paupers and factory operatives that wedged the streets, towards the Common. Here was the most imposing spectacle that I belield in Europe. From 75 to 100,000 people were assembled, from the North and the South, from the Highlands, from the banks of the Ayr and the *bonnie Doon,' with drums beating and colors flying. We had scarcely forced our way to the centre of this living sea of heads, when a most unearthly shout was heard from one end of the Common, and a barouche and four were seen approaching, with Father Mathew standing in the middle, bowing to the populace, ana waving his handkerchief over his head, nsif in triumph at the glorious scene^ before him. As he caraa nqpr enough to dfetrrrguish his iwtures, I was struck with his imposing appearance. From his priestly title of Father I was led to suppose like many others, that he was a decrepid old man. Far from it. He is about the middle age,portly, and handsome, His figure is short and robust, his complexion florid, and his nose highly aquiline. His mild blue eye beams with benevolence, and his fine, honest face tells you his whole character before he opens his lips. He wears the long, black coat of the Catholic priesthood, and a white neckcloth: his only decoration is a temperance medal, worn on the left arm —an emblem, to my mirid, more proud than the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor.

As soon as the dense mass could be brought into convenient shape, a procession was formed, which moved through the city, and «brought up* in the Grass Market.— Here the pledge was administered, after the following fashion. Horses were driven about to clear an open space, proclamation was made for all who desired to receive the pledge to como forward, and about two hundred presented themselves. They then kneeled before him, he repeating the pledge, and they responding, verbatim, after the mode of the Episcopal Church, When this was concluded, the Father walked slowly among them, throwing medals over the necks of such as desired them and in five minutes room was made for two hundred more. In this way he gave the pledge to 10,000 in one afternoon And in three days spent in Glas

25.000 converts were enrolled. I had an opportunity of being introduced to him there. He is a devoted admirer of America and her institutions, and when I told him whence I.came he threw his arms about my neck, and received me with all the warmth of an oriental salutation 1 7

In the evening a Grand Banquet was given in the City Hall where Father Mathew detailed the glorious progress of the cause in Ireland, and I was happy to follow him with an equally encouraging account of the movement in our own land. His speech was a fine specimen of impassioned eloquencewell conceived and well delivered. He re]a-

ty the origin of the work, and its progress under his own instrumentality. He stated not an advocate of Temperance until a few years since, when a number of Quakers in'Cork persuaded him to join the society, and use his wealth and influence for this great object. In one year his society hutnbered only 80 converts! Hevisitsd Limerick and attended a cattle fair where 30 or 40,000 persons were assembled for rioting and drunkenness. Here, to use his emphatic language, "the people flocked around him as if by magic to receive the pledge,** and since that time the contagion has spread un5,000,000 of Irishmen have enlisted under theTemperanee banner. Among these are

Duke of Leinster, Marchioness of Clanriearde, and many other influential and noble families. How do they keep the pledget is tie natural

In Edinhurg, Glasgow, Berlin and Paris, he attended lectures delivered on this subject, bjr the most distinguished proles* sore, and in the sam^cities, he assiduously attended the: Mflt! hospitals, and infirmaries where such diseases were exclusivelv treated, and where operations were constant' ly performed.

TIIE SUPREME REMEDY FOR FEVER ANI AGUE AND RILLIOUS FEVERS.

Moffat's MedicM nsurejnvaria-

Fever and Ague, in all its four leading species, Is pemliar periodical disease, and Dr. Moffat has fully estahlished the important ditrovery that its cure can never be effected with precision ana certainty, except by a periodical administration ol a proper remedy, in connection with the s|iecific powers sf one of the ingredients in his medicines, is the secret of his invariable tri- v? umph, while all other practitioners either entirely (all or only temporarily succeed, were with the very best remedies lia were know n. A net us, or Ague is either I Quotidian: or daily Tertian, or third-day Quartan, or fourth-day Erratic, er sometimes one of these periods and sometimes another or it is Complicated, by '. taking these periods in succession, ana then running into intermittent fever of a more malignant eharactcv. But it is a remarkable fact, however mysterious and unaccountable it may appear, that each and all or these .•?' species of Ague, hnve a fourteenth-day crisis, in which they may be cured with certainty, hut by neglecting which they can only be cured hy chance. Dr. Moffat's directions for taking the medicines in thisdiwaso. are therefore theses—First, take two of tlie Lite Pills st bed time, and next morning before breakfast a full wine glass of the Phoenix Bitters in about the ssme quantity of water, and half a wine glass more in a full wineglass of water, about half an hour before each meal during the day. On the second night take three pills snd the bitters as before on tho third night four pills and the bitters as before, and continue taking four pills every night for three nights more, with tho bitters during the day. On or before the seventh day, the Ague will seem to be entirely cured, and the patient will feel well, hungry, and hearty, but he must nevertheless continue to lake the bitters as before prescribed, until and on the fourteenth day, with two pills every night alter the seventh day. He will then, ami not until then, with positive and invariable certainty, be permanently cured, not only of Fever and Ague but of whatever bilfious and liver affections it may have superinduced or even in any way conntcted. If, how- 5 ever, the patient should by any neglect, or nndne confidence in restored health, omit to take tlie Phouiix Bitters in the full quantities prescribed, at least three 3 times on this fourteenth dav, Dr. Moffat must not be I blamed if the disease should retnrft, ard rhe patient should learn wisdom from affliction, and gn threngh another course of the medicines for a fortnight longer. Obeying these instructions, however, he will be io thoroughly cored, that he msy bid defiance to the disease, however unhesltbv may be his location or prevalent the malady around him. For children between seven and fourteen years of age, half of the tbove quan» tities of 1 he medicines will suffioe for younger efnldren, quarter of those quantities, to he increased or diminished in proportion as tl»e age varies from advan* A eed childhood to infancv. For very yonhg children, small quantities of the bitters only will alone be ne-
