A motion was made to lay the bill on the table for the remainder of the session, which was negatived by yeas and nays, 66 to 118; and the bill was then made the order of the day for Monday, 1 7th inst. This vote is a favorable symptom for the bill, but not decisive, as the motion to lay on the table precludes debate, and tho opinion of members cannot be presumed to be finally made up.

The Massachusetts Jonrnal of Saturday contains several documents relating to Colombian affairs, one of which is a proclamation of Paez. dated Valencia, 2d March, declaring Bolivar an outlanvA and offering a reward of g'2000 far his head::! The following are extracts from this document: Considering that Simon Bolivar has cot received from any legitimate governCient, authority to make war amoni us: Considering that the defence of our lives and homes is of natural right, that in no wise we have provoked this war, but that on the contrary we have main tained ourselves in an attitude, just, mo derate and decorous respecting the rights of our neighbors: And in fine, consulting the safety of the country, which is the supreme law, Tre haye decreed and do decree I I. All the citizens are authorized to kill Simon Bolivar, his officers and sol-1 dters, who shall be found making war in me territory or veneiueia, or committmg any act of hostility sgainst her Deaceable inhabitants. 2. If any village, town or city, shall pivc aid to the tyrant Bolivar, ot his tolv . . . lowers, it shall be outlawed and burned, 3.

The Choctaw Indians.- The Choctaw Indians have sent an agent to this city, lith power to negoctate a sale of their possession east of the Mississippi. The number of this tribe is estimated at 21,000; the lands claimed by them amount to about one-third part of the Territory embraced in the geographical limits of the state of Mississippi, and they occupy a tract in Alabama, lying on the west bank of the Tombeckbe river, about 20 miles wide, and about 70 miles long. They ask for an appropriation something like a million of dollars of money, as a consideration for their laodt) besides cer-

tain other privileges or benefits. We

should think, that what they ask, if it can oc so managed as to ensure their benefit, and prevent them from being the Drey of speculators and contractors. would be reasonable enouch. - w A'atiozal Intelligencer We understand, that the Sub Atrent here, has been to sec the Aecnt for the Sac and Fox Indians, at Rock Island, to confer with him on the subiect ot the late difficulty, which took place four miles below the mouth of the Ouisconsin. the substance of which was publish cd in our last; and asking lor further in st'uctions, Stc.

I rr, r 1 his evening, abut halt pan nine o'clock, our citizens were alarmed by the ringing of bHh and the cry of hi e. The flames were first discovered in the centre of a long rang of wooden stores, situated in Buffalo st near the centre of the vill age, and contiguous to several dwelling houses, and other bildings ot expensive construction. The only source from whence water could be drawn being at some distance from the conflagration, the m II engines could not commence queuing the ravages of the element until three of the stores had burnt to the ground, and several others partially enveloped in flames. The whole range of stores, consisting of ten, some of which, however, werc not occupied, were entirely consumed Two families resided in the upper stories of thesebuildings. A dwelling house, occupied by Mr Seymour, as a boarding house, was aUo destroyed. A building, the ground floor of which was occupied as a store, and the chambers for the printing office of tht

Anti-Masonic Enquirer, wis likewise burnt to ashes. Most of the furniture and merchandize, and all of the printing materials of the Enquirer Office were saved. The loss we have not been able to ascertain. The buildings were owned by Mr. Mar chant. AMERICAN CALICOES. It is not generally known to the pub lie that the art of calico printing is now brought as near to perfection in this country as it is in Europe, and that at the Eagle Point Works, at Belville, in New Jersey, distant only eight miles from the Ferry, upwards of 4000 pieces or 120,000 yards are printed weekly. We visited these works a few days since in company with a number of gentlemen from this city, and were not only suprised, but highly gratified to witness the extent and perfection to which the enterprising proprietors, Messrs. Samuel Wright and Andrevj Gray of this city, have bi ought this branch of business. The works are very extensive, and em brace with themselves not only the necessary appendages of Printing works, hut shops for the manufacture of all patterns, forms and tools which are required in conducting the establishment. Upwauls of two hundred persons are constantly employed, and, as we before men lioned, finish about 120,000 yards per week. Those who have never witnessed the printing of cotton can from but an im perfect idea of the different processes which they undergo from their first pas sage over a red hot cylinder to their finish for market. The perfect accuracy of the machinery used, the rapidity of its execution; added to the beautiful simplicity of its construction, forcibly impress upon the spectator the wonderful ingenuity of man. Our attention was particularly arrested by a machine which primed with two colors at the same time, and with the same rapidity as if one color only were used. New York Enquirer. From the Delaware Patron. DISTRESSING CASUALTY. We learn, verbally, that three young men (brothers) lost their lives in the east part of Marion county, on Friday last, I r i

oy uic prcsenco oi caroonic aciu grass, familiarly denominated damis. The first entered the well, for the purpose of eleaning it out: but had descended but a part ot the way, when he suddenly tell to the bottom. His mother who was standing by, supposing he had slipped, called another son immediately to his relief; who having descended a tew feet, also fell in the same manner. She then called the third and last son, who also eutered the fatal well. He had scarcelv begun to descend, when he called out "mother I am faint," and instantly shar ed the late ot his unfortunate brothers. On assembling the neighbors, it was soon ascertained that tiie well was so completely charged with the noxious vapour, that a lighted candle was extinguished within six feet of the surface. The lifee3s bodies were taken out as soon as it could be done consistent with the safety of those assisting. What makes this case peculiarly distressing, is the fact, that the father of the young men is blind, and they werc his principal, it not only support. The name of the family, our informant did not recollect. It is matter of some surprise, that with the universal knowledge of man kind, of this danger, so common to wells, that so little regard ia paid to it. No person should ever presume to descend into any well, without having first let down a lighted candle; if that will bum freely their is no danger from this cause. Milledge ville, (Geo ) April 17. Jiore uoia -One ot our townsmen has brought from Habersham county, piece of gold recently found their worth we oegin to dc oi tne opinion, gtnerally entertained in the upper coun ties of this Sta'e, that Georgia is ex tremcly rich in the precious rnetals, and perhaps as much so as Mexico or Pciu Our gold region begins to at t act more attention than ihe sugar re glon. How strange that the discovery of gold in this State was not made at an earlier period: Thousands are now pro fiiabiy employed in searching for this precious metal, and we arc afraid some of our most steady, prudent citizens will have their heaos turned by "gold en dreams." The profit will be to in dividuals, not to the country- all expe rience proving, that the superabundance of the precious metals, by causing the neglect oi agriculture, is rather iniuri rious than beneficial to the posperity of a country.

The room now occupied by him as a SruDr Room, is not only very spacious and convenient, but undoubtedly the most pleasant and healthy room in the place, or a large collection of students. Pa rents are requested to visit the Seminary, and view the Study Room. Young females that are placed under his care for instruction, tre most icru pulously attended to. They occupy a part of the Study Room, entirely separ ate from that occupied by the male schol ars; they are classed to themselves, and have no more communication with the male department than if they actually went to a different school. The morals and good conduct of all, are guarded with the strictest attention, as the pupils are always under the watch tul eye of their teacher, not only in the Study-Room, but also in recreation. No indecorous language or unbecoming actions are tolerated at all; tor strict morality is deemed by him, the most es sential part of education.
