PICTURE OF OHIO

market, get in harvest, and kill hogs before
they enter upon their teens. A large family of

'idleness;. No time for intemperance. A man
/who is not industrious cannot live in such com
'"muiiity; he is despised and maltreated if he be

industry and economy. There are no pan- !

The people me shrewd, inquiring,‘and manly—
• 'ifi-mimicy is almost regarded us a crime.—
• E iily marriages are upheld—-old age is rev-i

P*‘oulm—pride odious, and false pretentions

wear off each other’s prejudices by intercourse, •
and discover their own faults by contrast.— '
They keep up a const ant correspondence with
their friends of the east—nothing which run

Each settler of respectability wishes to keep

RELIGION.
Man, in whatever state lie may be considered,
AS well as in every period and vicissitude of
life, experiences in religion an efficacious anti
dote against the ills which oppress him, a shield
that blunts the darts of his enemies, and an
asylum into which they can never enter. In
every oyent of fortune Io excite in his soul a
sublimity of ideas, by pointing out to them the
just judge, who, as an attentive spectator of his
conflicts, is about to reward han his imeslimable
approbation. Religion also, in the darkest
appears to man as the iris of peace,
und dissipating the dark and angry storm re
stores the wish for calm, and brings him to
(he port - of safely.

DR. COOPER’S CASE.
In the summary of last week, we copied
Hom the Cohunbiu Times a notice that the
trial of ’his gentleman had resulted in his ac*
quitul. His case is repotted at considerable
length in tho same paper of the 14 h inst. 11 is
trial Wis before the Board of Trustees of the
i S?u’h Carolina College, auJ the charges, we
learn “were, in number three, and in Substance, [
that by various publications, such as his Puhti- ;
cal Economy, his Letter to any Member of i
Congress, and his Translation of Broussais on
Insanity, he had unnecessarily advanced opin
ions respecting religion, offensive to parents of
students committed to his caie, and to large
daises of citizens, and injurious to the inteiv
ests of College, and that he had, at lectures
Hid on other occasions interfered unnecessarily '
with the the religious opinions of the students,
and inculcated upon them doctrines contrary
to those in which he knew they bad been edu
cated, and offensive to their parents and guar
dians.”
The testimony tn the case consisted were the
Books referred to, and the evidence of Students
taken by the Trustees in support of the
charges, and by Dr. Cooper in his defence.
• We shall not occupy the time of our readers
’ with detailing the arguments, hy which Dr.
’ Cooper has attempted to repel the charges i
1 prefered against him. They are precisely I
' | such, in substance and in spirit, as any one fa- j
’ miliar with his previous history and writings, '
' might have expected, hi the judgment of the
’ Trustees, he has succeeded in his defence, and (<
1 they have resolved, “That no charge against i
J Dr. Cooper, showing that his continuance in t
| office defeats the endsand aims of the Institu- :
I lion or authorizing his removal, has been sub-
I stantiated by proof and that the charges a- *
j gainst him be therefore dismissed.”
Dr. Cooper is, therefore, restored to pub-' J
lie confidence; and Christian parents arc a- (
gain invited to entrust the education of their s
children to a man, who has ridiculed public j
prayer—who has attempted to undermine the s
authority of Divine Revelation—who has treat- >
ed with contempt the Institution of the Sab- 1
, bath—who has evinced a reckless opposition to '
| the Clergy and denounced them in terras of!
I unmeasured severity—who has denied the im- ' .
materiality and seperate existence of the soul-- ‘
who has attempted to dissuade the people from j ,
doing any thing to support the Institutions of ■ t
the Gospel—who Iris assailed with act imonv '«
the Doctrine of the I riuity, and other doctrines *
'which are held sacred by a vast majority of I f
' professing Christians in the State—and who is I
believed, on sufficient grounds, to be as bitter < *
an opposer so the Christian Religion, as was ; 1
Voltaite, or ILi roe, or I’.line. Such in bi ief is [
the man-—the “hired, paid salaried” man, who ! t
presides over the College of the State, and ! t
who has received for the last ten years $35, :<1
000 of the people’s money. And in token of 1 »
his gratitude for their favors, he lias infused his s
own anti-i iligious views into the minds of their
children, and caused the Press to teem with
productions, desigiK’d to destroy all regard for
tho Bible—-to break down *he restraint which
it imposes, and to blot out tt»P encouragement
which it offers for llio practice 01 religion and
virtue.—- Charleston Observer. g

INDIAN WAR. <

which contains information of considerable : $
moment: ' v
Cantonment Gibson, Jan. 12, 183:3. I
Dear Friend— l take this opportunity of t
informing you of our situation. Capt. Ford’s ■
Company of United Simes’ Rangers left this :
place on tha sih instant, by order of Col. n
Arbuckle, on an expediiioa ag iinst the Paw- a
nees, but to their surprise, they were al- s
t icked on the 9th, bv a bind of Camanshu ’
Indians, five bundled in number. They fought
with great braveiy for an hour and a half, but s
they were surrounded and overpowered, and ; {
compelled to surrender themsi lves pi isoners oi iq

came in. One of the Lieutenants made his . I
I escape, and brought infoi million that the sav-' 1
I ages, at the lime of liis leaving them, were j'
( m issacreing their prisoners. It is supposed ,'
that all have been put to death. Five Com- , f
’ panics of Regulars, on the receipt of the in- [ (

LEWIS CASS. ,
SEcnr.TAnY of the war department. . i
Among the few distinguished individuals of the j
nation who have escaped the missiles of party du
ring the recent political conflict, the present Sec- /
rotary of War stands conspicuous. His brilliant
and commanding talents —his unspotted integiity
and cininetit national services, all combined, seem
to have raised tor him a shield ot delenee, alike
I potent against the bitterness ol party hate, and the
reckless spirit of rivalry and ambition. Indeed, a
very respectable portion ot the party opposed to
the administration of which he is an ornament, have j
been loiced to concede publicly that their opposi- |
‘ tiou extends not io him. I his high tribute to tal-
I ents and public virtue, is in the present instance
amply deserved ; as a hasty and bru t recurrence
! to sonic distinguishing event iu his past hie may
serve to illustrate.
Gov. Cass is emphatically a self-made man. He
was born we believe in the state ol New-Hamp
shire, but emigrated soon after completing lus ed- (
ucation, to the then mart ol youthful enterprise j
and ambition, the new state of Ohio. Here, lor
several years, ht pursued with eminent success and
marked ability, the profession of the law ; and gave
I eaily presage of those powers ol mind w h ich even
tually raised him to his present elevated position >
in the public view, hud as a profound jurist and ac
complished statesman, the same genius ami tndim
trv evinced tn the humbler but intricate controver
sies of individuals, readily enabled him to extend
his intellectual grasp io those great t ipics ol gen
eral interest, involving the principles, the policy
-1 and the rights of nation?.
! After tilling several important stations to which |
; he was called by the people of Ohio and by the gen- j
i eral government, at the declaration of war in 1812, j
he enrolled himself under the banner of his conn- j
try, and received a Colonel’s commission in the
North Western army, under General Hull. I n ,
yiew of their comparative lesults in the sum of hu- I :
man happiness, the civic glory to the statesman is ,
much to be preferred to the crimson fame of the ,
warrior; but those brave spirits who like Gov.
1 Cass, at the period to Which we have referred, vol
untarily relinquished home and its endearments, i
the pursuit of wealth and its concomitant blessings,
to suffer and perchance to bleed in defence of their i
insulted country, deserve —richly deserve the hon- ,
or and everlasting gratitude of that country, and <
all its well-wisher.
From the period of his entering the army to the
present, the career of Gov. Cass has been one of
uncommon usefulness and celebrity. He it was 1
though a subordinate officer, who struck the first)
blow* against the aggressors of his country, and |
with the troops under his command achieved the I
, first of that glorious series of triumphs, so nobly I
'crowned by General Jackson at New-Orleans, j'
which shed a luster upon the American character, i
and elevated our country in the eyes of the world. I
Had bis counsels been adhered to, his spirit pre- I
dominated, the American people never would have < t
occasion to blush at the disgraceful surrender at <
Detroit. The brave and honorable parts winch he ; i
afterwards bore in (he struggles upon the frontier, <
and especially in the defeat of General Proctor and |
Tecumseh at the river Thames, are matters of his- j <
tory. and need not be repeated here. <
His subsequent appointment as Governor of Mich- ) t
igan. though far below his intrinsic deserts was 1 i
most fortunate for that territory. Under his judi-j t
cious and efficient administration it has risen to a 1
state of exampled prosperity, and is soon to lake its
place as a sovereign member of the Union. In the I
selection of Gov. Cass to fill the important place v
in his cabinet as Secretary of the War Department, f
President Jackson has afforded another proof of a
that disernment and discretion which his enemies
have uniformly affected to deny him. <
Right and punctual in his business habits, plain l
and affable m his manners, with powers of mind t
which grasp as it were by intuition every subject to <
which they are applied, united to various and ex j
tensive acquirements, which stamp him as the ripe t
scholar, Lewis Cass, we disparage no one in saying ! [
it, has no superior in the present able cabinet, and I
tew, it any, in the nation ; and as he is yet in the t
prime of his life and usefulness, we feel that we 1
hazzard nothing in the declaration, that the meas
ure of Ins fame is not yet full, <
* On 19lh July, 1812, Colonel Cass, with a de
tachment of 250 men, attacked with great bravery,
the advanced posts of the British army, near Mal
den, and succeeded in driving them back upon the
main body. This we believe was the first blow
struck against the enemy in the late war. ■
THE DEAF AND DUMB.
Extracts from the examination of the Deaf and ■
Du -.b, in the Hartford Asylum, before the Le
gislature of Massachusetts.
Number and appearance, of Pupils.
The Pupils were eight in number. Four were
girls of a very interesting appearance. One of
them, apparently fifteen, dressed in blue, was deci
der.’. I '' P re,, yr w *’h afresh and blooming countenance
as indtc? l ‘ ve of thought, as the faces of the best '
sducated yoC’’n hidy in our high schools. She has
lost her hearing six years of age, still retaining
the faculty of ariiculal'ou, hut unable to use it as a '
medium of communication. * here was a pleasing
propriety in her manner, and an e<? sc and unassum- ,
ing self-possession when she was standing in the I
presence of the whole assemblage, that is u ot often [
attained in the drawiug-r<K>..». 't’he moven.'ents of j
all the Pupils were unembarrassed, and those the i
females even graceful, resulting, doubtless, in par? i
from being shutout from hearing, but particularly I
from the constant action given to the hands and
arms, in the use of the manual alphabet. They i
are never at a loss what to do with their arms, those I
troublesome appendages to all children, when con- >
scions they are objects of public notice. In fact it
would be almost worth while for those who can hear
and speak, to take lessons in this art, to learn tro’.v i
to use the limbs with freedom and grace.
Their manner of expression. j
Tn the examination, two of the Pupils were placed ;
near a black board, on which they wrote with cfialk, .
and the others were furnished with slates. The in- ■
structor, who seemed excellently adapted to his 1
task, cormnunica’' d with them by spelling words,
through the man. 1 alphabet, in the use of which
they are very expert , and by the use of conventional
signs, communicating words and ideas to the mind, j
For instance, he gave out a word, such as learn, re- |
quiring them to form a sentence containing it-
One wrote, “ There is an asylum, and the Pupils ,
learn well." Another word, wonder, was thus in- ■
trodueed into a sentence by one ot the pupils : " L
wonder that so many persons are curious to see me
on the present occasion.” Other words, such as j
swiftly, about, knowledge, &c. were thus w ritten by I
the pupils : “ A rein-deer runs very swiltly, and j
can jump across a river." “ There is about six ,
hundred Legislatures in Massachusetts." jl h ,s
was written by a small boy. The teacher pointed
with his finger to the two errors in this sentence, ]
and the lad’iostantly substituted are for is, and Le- j
gislators for Legislatures. " Knowledge in the i
United States is power.” “I love to acquire |
knowledge and religion and many other things.
The teacher then asked a question by signs,
which the pupils wrote down to answer, viz . >
‘•Why do you stand hear before this great assem- ,
bly?” Answers —“ Because we make exhibitions ,
before them.” “To exhibit to them ” ” Because ;
we wish to exhibit to those who wish to believe t.tat
we. can write and read." “ Because we exhibit »>>
the Legislature of Massachusetts.” " Because we -
wish to exhibit our improvements, that the Legisla
ture may send other ignorant children to lhe Asy- '
luni.” A voting man, who is an assistant-teacher
wrote; “ That we may show the Legislature, and ,
through them the people ot the state, that their ap
propriations have not been misapplied.
Their conversation with one. another. j
Mr. Weld sai l i.c had often been asked if the |
educated deaf and dumb conld enjoy each other s
1 conversation and society. To show this, two ol the
lads took the stand, and were directed to converse
with each other on atty subject they thought pioper.
They immediately commenced an animated inter
change of signs, which the teachcr-mterpreted some
; tilin'' in this manner —"Have vou been to New-
Hampshire ? Yes. Did you see the White moun
tains ? They were pointed out to me, but 1 saw
them at a great distance. Mas their appearance

other parts black. Did you travel in a sleigh, or

We rae'ely ci”e a specimen ol the
lion, to show the unembarrassed manner iu which
the pupils communicated with each other in pres
ence of a large assembly.
, Hiblical Knowledge.
Three of the pupils were called upon to relate n
story, or an incident in Bible history. One of them
gave an account of Paul and Silas in prison, their
singing at midnight, the bursting open the prison
doors by an earthquake, the terror of the jailer, liis
attempt to kill himself, his releasing Paul and Si
las, applying someth ng to heal their stripes, per
haps oil, but does not know, and the baptising of
the jailer and his house. To signify this last act,
the pupil made ssigu for plunging in water. His
manner and gestures throughout were particularly
expressive.

PRESIDENT’S INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
The Inaugural Address of President Jackson,
like eveiy thing else coming from that patriot, is
looked to with the deepest interest. It is expect
ed in that address, whoever lhe incumbent of lhe
office may be, the views entertained of the govern
ment and ihe maiiner of its administration, will be
chalked out. At this very interest period of our
political history, we look, anxiously, into this ad
dte’s’s, ahd, behold, the “blood-sucker, Ihe destroyer
of siate-rrghts, the uiilitary-dictatdr, the bloody ty
rant, the federalist, lhe king" appears in every line ;
if the President pursues the course marked out in
that address, farewdll ——, but, stop, we will not |
lament departed Liberty until it is gone.
Andrew Jackson hhs been inducted into office as
President for the ensuing four years, we hope he
will, al least, recognise his steady and consistent )
friends, who have continued faithful to him in weal
and in woe.
What will the old elevenlh-hour-men of Georgia '
do now ! there was not much confidence placed in
their fidelity, notwithstanding their vociferation , j
they came in late, but could not bear the service o f
one short hour, during the last quarter, as the
jockies term it, they bolted; yes, not only bolted, but
turned all their energies against him—but he has
parried the njissi es leveled against him, and we
trust, will continue, without deviation, to adminis
ter lhe government for the next four years as it has
been administered for the past four.
But, what will the eleventh-hour-men do ? shout
“ Glory to Henry Clay !"—Be it so.

ESTIMATION OF JOHN FORSYTH,
AT HOME.
“The betrayal ol the feelings of constituents,
and tho abuse oi their confidence, was never
moro plainly evinced than it has been by the
Republican citizens of Hilisborough, and its vi
cinity, in Jasper county, in their recent mani
festation of abhorence at the conduct of Mr. ■
Forsyth, in his support of tho Bloody Bill—
his opposition of the peace-making and reduc
tion bill, and his unnatural alliance with Web
ster, Van B uren <fc C ■o. His apostacy to the I
views of his constituents, has very deservedly
incurred their most indignant displeasure and
reprobation ; and whilst we are no advocates
or justifiers of the manner in which they mani -
fested their proud spirits and sore feelings at
tho strange course which Mr. Forsyth has so
! madly pursued, yet we admire and applaud the
j motive which actuated them. Let an insulted
1 people frown with indignation upon an insulting
I public servant, and they thereby leach him his
i dependance on theii suffrages.
But we have not yet told our readers of the
facts. They may be comprehended in this
short sei'tence.
On the arrival of the mail at Hillsboro’, on the
Sth inst. it was aucei taiued that Mr. Forsyth
had suppoi ted the Collection alias bloody bill
—and opposed tho reconciliatory and peace
making cffoit made by the patriots of the coun
try. This mortifying intelligence, induced the
citizens to show their indignation ; whereupon,
a gallows was erected with an effigy of Forsyth
attached, and he was znwcAr-exectitetl. The ef
figy was suspended for an hour, with the bloody
bill in one hand and Jackson’s Proclamation in
his mouth, and many other significant terms;
after which, it was consumed by fire, &.C,
We received a comniuuiciitiun fr< ni a respec
table source, i iiibudy nig tire übOve Si.iieniCnt,
and to publish the particulars, at the reijuest of
many of ihe citizens who witnessed the exhibi-
n
, lion.
) We do not pretend !o deny the right of the con
’ stituent, to offer what indignity may be proper, to
' a public servant, when that servant may prove re
creant to the interests committed to his care ; in
deed, we approve it. Amongst all the indignities ’
and disgrace with which the American people are
1 accustomed to brand their faithless officers, the
: burning in effigy is esteemed the gieatest ; but
! this mode of punishment looses it effect, entirely, as
j does all others, by its frequency and by a resort to
’ it on improper occasions and by improper persons,
I or if the person intended to be punished does not
! deserve it, in all or either of which cases, lhe result )
is directly the reverse of what was intended. For j
i this mode of punishment to succeed, lhe person on
; whom it is to operate, must have acted in direct j
opposition to the known and expressed will and
) interests of his constituents, on some cardinal
' point of duty. For a few inexperienced boys of a
College, or a few rash and unthinking individuals
1 ol some remote hamlet, upon every trifling and un- '
! suitable occasion, to oiler such indignity to the
President of ib« United States or to expect to I
I blacken the character of Mr. Forsyth, is, entirely,
I chimerical ; the consequence o. such a course oi
| conduct is, to cover with shame, those concerned,
‘i We should not have noticed the foregoing piece
or made the subsequent remarks, had it not been
for the imposing words placed at its head ; the
piece, certainly, brought us the first and only in
formation we have on the subject ; we have not
heard the slightest whisper, ot the transaction of
which it speaks, other than it affords , ami, we
are clearly of opinion, that the pt isons engaged,
intended its effect shot.ld not pass the precincts of
their imine liate neighborhood, which it has not
done, we presume. We need not. on this occa
sion, attempt to wipe from the character of Mr.
Forsyth, anv disgrace that malice may have de
signed but has not succeeded in affixing upon it.

Fayetteville, February 2&.
The Cape Fear has been higher during the past

Other water courses North and South of this
also have experienced the effects of the heavy rams,
as the Northern mail’s, we believe, were delayed
some hours, and the Southern entirely slopped for
two or three days, by the impossibility of crossing
some streams.
Among the other effects of lhe flood, we under
