THE AMOUlhDKD DUTCHMAN It was about fivtt-and-twenty yenrs ugo, ns Mann fccltloffij'kopl waa trilling under un un eicnt button-wood Iren, on the eastern bank ol tti6 Hudson, und enjoying his uflrrmion pipe, tnat he wun suddenly nruused from a cnmlortable reverie by the sight of a huge co- linnn «.f black smoke down Ilia rim, which ascended a* it were from Ihe very middlo of the stream. 11 rose aloft in epny fold*, and left a long dark track behind it, us it seemed every moment to approach nearer and itearer to where the astonished Dutchman aat. Hens at first opened hie eyes to three times their usual width, to be positive in the first place that he was actually awake and not drea ming ; and to be aure in the second place that his sense of seoing if awake had nut in reulity deceived him. Using satisfied that he was actually awake, and that iho phenomenon, whatever it might be, was no dream, he began to draw in and puff out iho smoke more furi ously lhan hia wool; nod,.instead of sending the curling lumas leisurely above his head, lie blew them straight from him in a horizontal dine aon, like tho fitful gusts of a dark north wester. Still ho did nottake hu pipe from hia mouth, or utter a word. It must bo some thing mure than an ordinary excitement Hint will draw forth a Dutchman's pipu in tho midst of hie afternoon's enjoyment, or induce him to speak a word more then is absolutely ne cessary lor the transaction of his ordinary off urs. l)ul still as the black smoke seemed to roll up from the bed ol the river, nnd approached nearer and nearer, Hans could nut give veni to tits as omshiiseut by merely puffing more fu riously tuau usual. He begun to sit uneasily in his chair, to move thie way and that, to aireicli up his hull-neck to its uttnosi length, and to strain his eyes nil they seenivo lo be turned nearly wrung side uulwards. At length be could hold m uu lunger, nut taking the pipe ftom Ins mouth, he exclaimed—• " Mein UoitI” This pmut ejaculation was all that escaped bim at hrst, when resuming his pipe, he drew in ana puffed out ihu fragrant liimes more fiercely than ever; and one would have sup posed that he waa attempting, by his counter blasts, to blow away from before him the ap parition of Ihe column of smoke which arose (font ihe river. But it would not do j he drew ibe pipe again Irom hit mouth, started on ins feet, and'exclaimed— " Donuer and blitaen I .Yasn Cbrisi! San to Llausl De l'yfel and al. I via i*h dat for a aUtnokecoroindarifferupt >Vruuw! Vrouw! come here sos 1 De riffer is at a fire!” - His wile ren out, rubbing tier eyes, for she too had been indulging in a half dreamy half smoky boor of afternoon’s comfort. At first she could no! disttnefly see the object which had so slanted Ihe good mao of the house; and, bolding her hand over her eyes lo keep out the declining sun, she ejaculated— “ Were—were is it Hanst" “ Wereexclaimed Schlaffigkoph, 11 is you blind!, vrouw, dst you can’t zee do slimnke rollin from no riffer like twoniy lousan Tyfels nil shmokin deirn pipes at once!—Look I look, goody vrouw, if so pe you pe’s not plindt allokelher as one pat.

Tito good vrouw at last got her eyes upon the phenomenon, nnd burst out with, “ I zees it now, Mans I 1 zees it now as plain ns de shmokc of ourn gimbley dop. Mein kraciotts! how it dues roll and dumble up! You’re right, Iians, de riffer is zure enuch all a fire. IA at shall we do, Hans “ Do 1“ exclaimed tho good man, beginning again to smoke furiously, “ wat can we do? If so pe do riffer purns up, it purus up—dere’s no help for it.” “ Yow, mein good mann,” returned ihe pru dent wife, “ put.deen it will purn up ourn houses loo, which is so near du riffer’s punk He must do someting, Hans.

De Ty- fel / woman, wero is yourn nits kono a kaddin all lo once ?” The good vroutv, without noticing Ibis ob servation of her husband’s, began lo bustlo about in good earnest, and to tuke measures for securing their house in case it should be necessary, by actually placing the large scal ding-tub under tho nozzle ofthc pump and fil ling it wilh water. As for bans, lie could do nothing hut smoko furiously, and ejaculate al iniorvals, “Mom Goit!” “Donner nnd blitz! “ De Dyfel!"—and such liko expres sions, whereby lie might pour out wonderment with which his mind was affected. After making preparaiiona to extinguish the fire, Mrs Hnhlaffigkopf, wilh (he real commu nicative disposition of her sex, set out to in form her neighbors . f the slrnngo phenome non of the Hudson being on fire. She had not gone half the distance, however, before she met the Widow Wundcrgeist, who, hav ing herself discovered the wonderful affair, had on her pari set out to communicate the nows to her fnonda the Schlnffigkopfs. They both now mado Iho best of their way lo the house of Hans, who, fancying there was no use in running about Ihe uoighboriioud, had resumed his -cat, and was merely smoking and ejaculating by turns, according as tho love of fumigation, or the exec s- of wonderment, chanced to obtain the mastery- By this time the strange phenomenon had been discovered by the most of the neighbor hood, nnd sundry persons, in running to com municate what eucli supposed would be news to al! tho rest, chanced to meet at the house of linns ScMuffigkopf. ’• Donm-r mid blitz!" cried ono—" wni for a shmokin in furnace is dal down de riffer Mein Gotl! it rolls oul mure shinoke as diriy- klass-houso gimblies.” DeTyfel!" exclaimed another—“ Who zecn de like! linn-, wni you think o’dis, Y ever -N you lazy shmokin hundt, you ?” “ Wni I tmk ? Wy, I links do Tyfel is to pay, and no bitch hot.” By this limo ihe alarming smoke had up- proached so near, that, the wondering crowd oil tho hank could perceive that it did not arise immcdialely from lie river, hut that there was snmo species of water-craft underneath, from which it ossended. This dicovcrv however, did not in the lensi lessen their astonishment, especially whon they saw Ihe vessel come ploughing along against both wind and tide, which happened lo be against her, and tossing from her prow the foaming waves, as if in mere sport and downright mockery of Ihe op posing elements. “Mein Gollt” exclaimed Hang, as she swept ulong, " it is do Vlyin Dutchman, comin de riffer up milaus wings!” “ Fuifluclit and dc Tyfel I” roarod Fritz Kobbler—“ how she does blough it along I She cares no more for wint or tile dan 1 do for n tram o’ plack-slrap- Mein kraicious! nnd she’s kot weels loo.

How it hours up, placker aa a donner-gloud, and ticker as a kocksit o’ molatsea in de mittel of do winter!” “ Yasu Christ I” exclaimed the wife of Shn- itzerachnutz—wat a smell o’ prim-tono it has ?” “ Zure enuch,” said the Widow Winder geist, " it ia de Evil One himself, koing up to Alpany. Look di re I don’t you see de little imps o’ tyfels on de leek treat in men’s and women’s glnze!” “ Yaw, yaw, yaw,” exclaimed a number of voiece*—“ I zees ’em!

He can sink ’em in de pottomlesa bit mil de opening of his moul. He is one powerful msn—dat Dominie.” It was forthwith agreed to commit the strange craft, which was verily believed lo be of infernal origin, lo the handling of th neigh boring clergyman, who waa emphatically call ed the Dominie. Juat aa they had coma to of the blushing girl to the embraces of the (his conclusion, it chanced that the good man himsolf who had also been attracted by the novelty, appeared among them. Being belter informed than his parishioners, be endeavored to allay Ibeir apprehensions, to explain to them the probable nature of the new craft, and lo assure them thal, though it went against wind and tide, it was perfectly harmless. All his masoning, however, waa of no nvail. Not one of his hearers would believe, that a ves sel which went with wheels, vomited out smoke in such profusion, and had no regard to wind or tide, could be other than the prop erly of his Salsmc Majesty; and they insisted that the Dominie should take instant measures against iho common enemy. Seeing ho could prevail nothing against their prejudices, he had no other means of satisfying them, than by seeming lo fall in with their views; and he accordingly engaged, as soon as he should retire to bis home, lo uso all necessary means for the expvls-on of the general foe. Thus assured, the company dispersed, some one way and somo another, lo spread the news, how the Devil’s Ship had been seen on its way to Albany, where it was supposed it would make an uttack on the city, and would finally prove a great annoyance to tho good people on the banks of ibo Hudson, unless tho ghostly measures in preparation should have Ihe desired effect of driving it back lo the regions from wlicnco it came. So astounding, to the honest Dutch inhabi tants, was the uppurilion of the first Steam Dual. Sv yL ,|d, the infirm and ugly? Money.

He has frequently been known to untie tho halter with hi« teeth, open Ihe stable door, which was fastened with a hasp on the out side, and get out into Ihe barn yard then he would open the great barn doors, by disengaging from a bolt n stick four or five feet long, enter the barn and fill lumselt with hay. Afterwards, becoming thirsty, he would open a gate, which was thought to be secure ly fastened, go to tho well, where the water was usually drawo with bucket and sweep, draw a bucket of water and drink ; then for the sake of variety, he would take down the field bars, help himself bountifully to clover, nnd return to the stable ; where Ins master would find him next morning, looking as innocent nnd demure as a newly married damsel I— Exeter News Letter. look placo two miles from Doylestown, on the poor-house ground. It is computed that at least ten thousand persons were present, and we are pleased to stale thal them were not more than one hundred females in the vast concourse. The culprit was luken from tho prison ut half past nine o’clock lit Ihe morning, and rode to the place of execution in an npun dearborne, m company with Ihe Sheriff and a Catholic Priest of this city. The civil authorities of the village preceded the dearborne, und immediately after it about twenty persons, assistants and friends of Ihe Sheriff, among the latter the gentleman to whom we are indebted for this statement.— After these, several troops of horse and sever al companies of infantry from ihe surrounding neighborhood followed. Our informant visited Mina, in prison, at a late hour on Wednesday morning, as well ns on Thursday morning. On both occasions, the culprit conversed lightly and freely on va rious subjects, and exhibited no symptoms of lenitence, until the clock struck nine, (ihe hour fixed fur his departure from prison) when he raised his hands to heaven, nod exclaimed, " Oh, my God ! the hour is arrived /" From that lime until the moment of his execution, lie appeared thoroughly given lo inflections con cerning his dreadful IV.so. mid held constant communion with the pricsi He knelt un the scaffold, beneath the gallows, and prayed wilh npparent sincerity for several minutes. He protested to the Inst thal ho was innocent of the crime for which he was olioui to suffer ond immediately beforo Ins exit into eternity ho made a short speech in Spanish, which was translated by the clergyman. The substance of it was us follows: “ Americans I you seo before you an inno cent victim—I have not to my knowledge wronged any person; if I have, however, I sincerely hope they oil will forgive me as I forgive all those who have over wronged mo.— Fou thirst for my blood! You think I am a cowjjrd—1 will show you that I will die like a man—Innocent Mina I Poor Mina is inno cent!" • Wc regret to say that bis death struggle was protracted lor np« arils of tea minutes, there not being o sufficient length of rope allowed fur tho foil to brenk his nock immediately.— Tho poor wretch struggled convulsively for a long limo, nnd endeuvored apparently in every possible wny to put an ond to his mortal ago ny. Tln-re appeared not to be the slightest sympnlhy entertained in any bosom for the sufferer, and so strong was the excitement against Mrs. Chapman, that had she appeared upon the ground, it was the opinion of many that sho would immediately have boon put to death. The conduct of the sheriff throughout, was such as tn have produced general satisfaction. He performed all ihe unpleasant duties of hangman, &c. with his own hands. On Tuesday night last, we undersland that Mina attempted tn commit suicide. Having found a rusty nail in one portion of his cell, ho ground it lo a sharp point on the stones, and penetrated one of the veins in his left arm, by which a great quantity of blood was emitted. After having been delected in this attempt and the wound hound up, he swallowed a large quantity of broken glass, but wilbnut the de sired effect. On being questioned with regard lo these attempts, he said (bat. his object was not to commit suicide, but to weaken himself by blood-letting, in order that his death by vio lence might be rendered easier. _ "* Throughout the revolting ceremony not the slightest disturbance look place among the spectators, and an involuntary shudder passed through the bosoms of all as the murderer was precipitated into eternity.—Pkil.

O N assuming Ihe duties and responsibilities of the publication of the Southern Banner, the Editors feel themselves bound by every sense of duty, both lo the former patrons of tbe Athenian, and those of their friends whose aid they confidently anticipate—in order to retain the one and merit the otner-to lay before them a fair and candid, but succinct exposition of tbe prin ciples by which they are to be governed and directed in the prosecution of their arduous and responsible un dertaking. They do not think it necessary at this late day—a day which is sht* ling ita light and glory, with such general and invigorating power over onr whole body politic, to enter elaborately and minutely into a detail of their political views ana opinions. Indeed, to cient guarantee of the principles of Ibe genuine Chris tian; so do they hold it only necessary to own and pro* less the names of the three great apostles of correct principles, in order to satisfy in enlightened commit, nity of the nature of their political/aflA, and tbe inevi table tendency of their future practice. The Southern Banner,then, will rest hereafter for support and patron, age, on the broad, Ann, and immutable rock of Repub licanism. All those pure and hallowed doctrines which originally flashed upon the world from the pen of a Jefferson—which have been cherished an handed down lo tie by our venerated Crawford, an 1t•• otessed ao in flexibly, and so triumphantly practised, in many res- peels, by our favorite Troup, will in it find a champion, however humble, yet of stern and uncompromising in tegrity. Various causes will, they believe, tend to render Ihe Banner hereafter, (and they say it without intending ihe least reflection on the course pursued by their wor thy predecessor, the late proprietor of tho Athenian,) of more general interest and of greater value to tbe party, than it hue been oflate, and none of which seems to them, so well calculated to produce this result, as the opposition tvhicli will be shortly exerted, in this place, to their press, and to their principles. This idea ■hey do not deprecate, but rather cherish, know ing that an honorable end liberal opposition, will tend to dim- ulate them to Ihe performance of iheirduty, whilst they hope it will rally to their support, their friends, and the frienda of the party, for whose interest and prosperity they are determined to devote every honorable exertiou. The editors have engaged among the r correspon dents, several gentlemen of establiahed Literary and Political character, whose communications will hereaf ter serve to enrich and adorn the columns of the Southern Banner. And with regard to tho other de partments of the paper, they can but add, that their best oxertions will be devoted-to render them useful and amusing to their patrons and readers. Great promises are, however, at best, but cheap commodities, and of course they feel themselves bound to eay as little, and promise ss charily as possible; but in launching forth their little barque upon the stormy waves of public opinion, they must trust alone lo their skillful pilotage for meriting, and winning for it, moorings safe and snug in Ibe bcarlsoftheir fclloiv- citizcns.

Athens, .March 22,1832. PROSPECTUS OK THE GEORGIA GAZETTE, A EATER TU RE TUELISHED WEEKLY, AT ATHENS, UA. I N issuing proposals for publishing a new paper in this section of ihe country, reason and duly would scorn to combine, lo invitefrnin us some exposition of the circumstances which have urged us to the attempt, as well as a brief outline of Ihe principles by which we will bo governed in our course. This task wc perforin cheerfully. Tho population ol tbe State is rapidly increasing; her system of Internal Improvement at its nascent period of existence; her jurisdictional limits actually and pros pectively extending; her chartered rights and Indian relationships assuming new and deeply interesting as pects; and her financial resources presenting to her eons Ihe appalling alternilivc of oppression in future by burthensome taxes, or bankruptcy without some eelu- tary change in her representative apportionment, all combine to render an additional Herald of intelligence to the present number altogether proper. But iheae by no means constitute the whole cata logue of inducements. Ours is palpably a government in experiment. The principles and terms upon which it was based, were professedly novel, and by conse quence it would ho lair to assert that they were nut al together understood. The progress of events has de- nionstratcd this truth. The constitutionality rf u na tional Bank; a system of Internal Improvement l,y Congress; Ihe power to tax foreign imports lur tho protection of domestic industry; in short the whole fa bric of implication, remains yet to undergo its final and legitimate analysts. They are topics which must agi tate, and thal deeply, every patriotic bosom inlhc con federacy. To maintain Ibe honor and rights of the Slate under her constitutional reservation ; lo remen. atrato with promptitude and firmness ofpuipose against all infractions of the compact, and to preserve the L'niim by enlightened discussion or rational compro mise, according to the plan of Jcflcrson and Jackson, shall be our constant aim. Our columns shall also contain as far as practicable, important items of intel ligence in the departments of murals, literature, and science. In our State politics it would be impossible, under our present impressions, to adopt the principles of Ihe Troup party in most of ita measures. CONDITIONS. The Georoia Gazette will be issued about the first of July next, on a large eupcr-royal sheet, wilh type entirely new, and we hope splendid, at (3 00 per an num, payablo within six months after (he receipt of the first number, or $4 00 if not paid within the year.

We are now publishing it Thrice a week, the additional cost at ourown expense: but there are so many of its friends badly situated io relation to the facility of receiving it by Ibe Mails, that we intend to isatte immediately a If'ctHy Paper for those, who cannot, from the cause mentioned, receive it but once a week. This will be issued at a period in tbe week, best suited to the up-country mails, and moat favora ble for the transmission oflhe earliest intelligence to its country readers.
