Jonathan Stoddard, of New Haven, the newly appointed United States Attorney, for the District of Connecticut, is a bitter, rabid Locofoco, of the radical school, and, if we mistake not, is the miserable crawling party bigot who sneaked up to the poll in New Haven, a few year since, and challenged the vote of the late venerable Col. John Trumbull the last of the noble hearted guard of the Father of his Country a remembrance of which fact ought to have put to eternal shame, any man who ventured to commit an act of such total depravity, A man who could fix his mouth to challenge such a freeman a Col.

Enq. Washington, Wednesday eve. Dec. 4. The vote in favor of rescinding the restriction rule yesterday, is considered as the payment by the Loco Focos ol the first instalment due by them to Birney for the aid furnished them by him and his party at the last election.

Heretofore when Mr. Adams has risen to make a motion similar to the one which the House yesterday adopted, a dozen ofthe hotspurs of the South were upon their feet, chuck full of fight declamation, intimidation, threats of disunion and even intimations of personal violence to the offending member have been indulged tn, and the business ofthe country has been retarded lor weeks by the violent and rabid opposition of southern Loco Fooot to thit measure but now at the opening of the second session, where one would suppose that the members would come together with the views and prin. ciples wilh which they but a few months since separated and of which they were then so loud and vehement in the support, they roar you aa gently as a tucking the only show of opposition i a motion, faintly uttered, to lay the tubject upon the table, and evidently made with no hopes of success, if it even, which is doubtful, had the wishes of the mover that it should succeed. This vote shows that the violent and ultra opposition heretofore shown to the repeal of thia rule wat factious and bused upon no principle, but originated in a desire to create sectional feelings for unworthy political purposes. It also indicates, what I have before tuggested, that the Calhoun interest will uot control in the coming administration indeed it is almost certain if that gentleman shall retain his present position in the new cabinet at its organization, that he will find hi counsel disregarded, aud resign his post before the lapse of the first session of the next Con.

The bill was accordingly introduced and read a first and second time, and committed to the Committee of the Whole, and made the special order for Monday next. The House then proceeded to the election of Chaplain and on the 3d ballot Mr. Dailey, of ludiana was elected. The House then adjourned. In the Senate, Mr.

General Scott after having been at Chicago for about a month, and the disease with which his troops had been afflicted having abated, resumed his march, aud late in August 1832, reached the Mississippi. Many, from a state of perfect health in six or seven hour, were reduced to a corpse. Dr. Everett fell a victim at Fort Gratiot to those he had sought to save.

Lieut Clay, a young man justgraduated at West Point, in 8 hours after being attacked was no more. A solitary grave near the Mississippi, marks the spot where the hopes of a bereaved mother were laid. The inteivening country was filled with the spoils of Death "the conqueror." Defore the remnant of Gen.

It great value as a gem, arises not only from its scarcity and brilliancy, but also from the ex treme difficulty of working it.

The operation occupied the lapidary five months.

It has hitherto been found not only in Golcon-daand Nissapour, the Isle of Borneo and Brazil, but also in the cold regions of Siberia. These are its best known localities, though but few have yelbeenfouud in the lattur country. They are usually of a small "size occasionally, however, larger ones are discovered, which, from their ex lreme value, eonerally become crown property.

Another weighing 193 carats, is among the Russian jewel.

The lovers of liberty cannot too fully express their gratitude to Mr. Adams and his compeers, who have so long, and at length successfully battled for the right of petition. A deep, er disgrace was never inflicted upon our national legislation, a more highhanded outrage was never committed than when the free people of this republic were told, in the language of one of the standing Rules of the House of Representatives, that their petitions should not be received or entertained in any manner whatever. It was gross, violent, and tyrannical, a bold and daring trenching upon popular rights, and nothing but the slaveish submission to party discipline which at that time had reached the deepest degradation, prevented the conntry from rising in a mass, and frowning with a withering indignation, upon the perpetrators of the outrage. There have been, all the while, sterling patriots, like the eloquent and patriotic Mr.

Adams, who have urged the abolition of the feature of absolute monarchy which shut the people out of the Halls of Congress, as intruders and interlopers. Their efforts have at length been crowned with success. The in famous gaglaw has been stricken from the catalogue of Rule for the leguiatiou of Congressional proceedings: We con- gratulatetbe people upon thit new aspect of the case, and think there is reason to believe that the spirit of freemen ha not entirely foiled out in the corruption and degeneracy of the present time. A Warning the Old Guard. The Young Democracy are determined not to be thrust aside in the distribution of the loaves and fishes, to make way for the old troops.

The Albany Atlas gives this timely warning: If the President elect would represent the feeling that placed him before the nation and that raised him lo iu head, he would, in the first place, compute his administration of men whose political era dates with his own, ami, in the second, exclude from his cabinet all aspirants for the sue-cessorship. The people desire not only to get rid of old controversies, but to break up all thoae lines of safe precedents" and indirect avenues to power, which have heretofore been channels of so much personal intrigue." The ancient and hereditary office-holders will take notice of this modest intimation, and govern their steps accordingly.

A Drama or Exilc and other Pokms By Elizabeth Hurrett Barrett, aullior of "the Seraphim" and other Poems.

New York, Henry G. Langley, No. 8, Astor House, 1844. We ought to have noticed these two charming' volumes, which have been lying upon our table for several days. They should have been commended to the public attention, for we deem them worthy of a high place among the works now thrown upon the public notice.

Thero is true poetry in them. And in the days when men are complaining of it, as prosaie and practical, it i pleasant to meet a couple of volumes of genuine poetry. The November number of Blackwood' Magazine in an article of length, speaks very highly of the powers of this authoress, and although it speaks with plain, ness of some defects, still it ranks Miss Barrett among the most gifted of her country women. The present, is the first American edition, dedicated to the American public, in a friendly preface by the authoress herself. These Poems will lie found worthy the attention of the readers of poetry.

They contain passages which one cannot pass, wiihoutmrdifi, ond reflecting upon them, beautiful images, glowing thoughts, which amply justify perusal, and will meet with public favor.

There may be in his ownestimalion a glorious uncertainty yet: not aa to who he is, for that he can never mistake but as to whoie he is.

Sooth Carolina.

In the House of Representatives of South Carolina, on Wednesday last, several resolutions were introduced, referring lo committees the sub jects discussed in Governor Hammond's message. Instead of referring those parts which relate to Nation al subjects to the committee of Federal Relations, for the purpose of having a report upon them it was proposed lo refer them to a committee of the whole House, with an expression of dissent from the views of the Gov ernor. This resolution, aflera short debate, wasagreed to, as follows "Whereas, This House most cordially welcomes the election of the Democratic Republican candidates for President and Vice President of the United Slates, as the triumph of those principles which wern so distinctly avowed by the Convention at Baltimore, whose noniina. lion they accepted And, whereas this House entertains entire confidence in the integrity and public virtue of these distinguished citizens, and regard it not only to be due to them, but to the good faith which this State owes to their brethren throughout the Union, who have made common cause in this great contest, patiently to await the measures of the new administration, and to take no separate action, which may embarrass their progress in carrying out the policy to which they stand pledged Therefore, Resolved, That this House deem it incx-pedient to take further action on that portion of the.

On Friday afternoon a very impressing lady called at the shop of G. G. Tufts, Court street, and selected a couple of dresses, which she requested to have cent to a certain number in Green street, with the bill. The boy was despatched with the articles (he lady aud a female friend were found waiting iu the entry of the house designated. The second lndy was so well pleased with the pattern of one of the dresses, that she concluded to have one also, and the bov was sent back lo the shop for it.

Since then neither of the hdies have been seen or heard of. They must have been acquainted with the customs of the house at which they appointed the rendezvous, as the family were at supper while the ruse was enactiug in the entry. A gentleman on the same evening called at the trunk store, 8 Hanover street, and selected a $3 valise. He requested the shopman to tend tho valise to a house in Hancock street, aud euough change for a $10 hill. All agreed (o.and when the boy and valise arrived in Hancock street, the gentleman was there in waiting, and said to the boy" I am in a gieat hurry give me the change, and carry the valise in that house, (pointing) and they'll give yon the $10 bill."

Nine com pari iet of infantry were ordered from the Lakes and two companies from Baton Rouge, lo pat an end to the and tucb was the promptness with which these order were executed that in eighteen days, four out of ix coin pan iet of artillery ordered from Fort Monroe on Chesapeake bay, a little below Washington, reached Chicago eighteen hundred miles distant.

A class of cade Is from West Point, to evince thoir patriotic ardor, accompanied the expedition, and on the fust of July, 1832, the whole force destined for Chicago, animated with hope, stimulated by duty, and anticipating glory, arrived in safety at Detroit. While moored at its wharf two instance of a strange and hitherto unknown disease, created in thit little band unusual alarm. The attention of the army urgeont ond of the village physicians were immediately directed thilhet all however to no purpose. In a few hour the person thus attacked were no more.

i The Asiatic Cholera was then raging violently at the East and Canada, and aa it usually atcended the ttreama and overspread their valleye first, the mystery was solved. The Cholera was in the camp and every countenance overspread with gloom. Tbey had scarcely re-embarked when several new cases appeared. Three companies of artillery and two of iufantry commanded by Col. Twiggs, alarmed for their salety and unable-or unwilling to pro.

ceed, together with the cadets from West Point, were thereupon landed from the steamboat at Fort Gratiot about forty miles on their way. Some of them died in the hospital. Some in the woods and were devoured by wolves. Some deserted to avoid the pestilence, and being scattered about the country, shunned by the terrified inhabitants, iaid down in the fields and died without a (riend to close their eyes or to console the last moment of their existence. Some havings license to depart were seen marching about they knew not whither, with their knapsack upon their backs, repelled from the cottage doors not through inhumanity but from fear of contagion, till nature being exhausted they fell and ex pired.

Of 203 men under Col. Twiggs, a few only Some of the companies were entirely broken up. The cadets by the advice and direction of General Scott, returned. The residue continued on their course and most of them arrived safely at Mackinaw. There was at that time but a few sick or diseased among them.

The Choi era however soon renewed its ravagas, and on their passage from Mackinaw to Chicago thirty were thrown overboaid. What a striking illustration of Dr, Johnson' remarks, War has means of destruction more formidable than the sword. Of the thousand and ten of thousands that perish, there is but small part that ever feel the stroke of an enemy the rest languish in tent nd ships amidst damps and putrefaction, pale, torpid spiritless and helpless, gasping and groaning, unpitied by men, made obstinate by misery, and are at last whelm. ed in pit or heaved into the ocean without notice and without remembrance." General Scott reached Chicago on the 8th of July 1832. On his arrival, Fort Dearborn was converted into a hospital.

The troops stationed there and a few fami- lie who had sought a temporary shelter within its wall immediately left it and bivouacked in it neighborhood, some in tents, (if they had them) some under hovel erected in few hours, aud so mo less fortunate like the ravens on the open prairie. A few boards eel up against the fence constituted a decent tenement, and sick woman we are told wa protected from the storm by a server reversed. During the first thirty days after General Scott's arri-val, ninety of his detachment paid their debt to nature, and were "whelmed in pit," without coffins "without notice and without remembrance." The scenes of horror occasioned by this singular disease uo pen can describe no heart conceive, and no tongue can adequately tell. The burial of the dead wa intrusted at that time to a Sergeant, and bit duty was executed with military pre-cision as soon as life was extinguished.
