Notes of a cmwicai. journey in thf. uniter states. Boston Revisited. Trav eling in this country, lean to myself very rea dTly account for the sour description of particular scenes and minute occurren ces, which |omc Europeans.give. This is just the most heterogeneous country in the world, and strangers often think and act in regard to it, as if it were all of a piece It is a perfect kaleidoscope of men and manners—>ail kinds of men, pious and profane, gifted and stupid, cultivated and uncultivated, polite and surley, together enclosed. In the picture presented In that ingenious instrument, every thing de pends on the slight turns of your own hand. The colors combined in the differ ent pieces of spar are houndless, hut there is just confinement enough of them with in the sides of the instrument to jostle them into any variety of light and shade, any beautiful or ugly combinations you can imagine. So here, while the varieties of human character are endless, they are combined enough and confined enough to by personal necessities to certain positions so as strikingly to act on one another.— Yet are they loose, disengaged from each other, independent enough to he, ever turning up in new combinations. All de pends as to your satisfaction and pleasure, on the turnings of your own hand. 1 can go-from one end of a Steamboat Saloon to another, and find the manners and the men; the religion and irreligion; the sound information and demagogical har ranguing—all that I like and dislike, hud dled together or starting apart —just in relation to me as I choose to move and conduct myself. The whole country will support the analogy. . . . If is in breadth and length largely unappropriated. Man kind, from the more settled countries, will rush into it, as surely as air into a vac uum, for a generation or two to come.— The only wonder is, with so much width of sphere and action, sucli endless diver sities of character, they do in fact at all combine, and sustain the semblance of one people. Thank God, I cannot hut say, when *1 consider what they may he held together to accomplish—and, under Him chiefly, thank our common Mother English tongue! Thqrc cannot he a country, of course, in which more of a traveler’s happiness and usefulness depends on his own car riage and temper. If he he worth calling an unit %C makes all the unity he will! find. If what l)r. Johnson calls ‘ a good hater,’ he may quickly combine around him fire and storms, frowns and scowls and threats, to his heart’s content, on any subject. If fond, like ‘poor Goldy,’ (l)r. Goldsmith) of thrusting himself in the way of offence, because nothing is so dis agreeable to him as to he unnoticed, plen ty of kindred spirits will appear at his i oiily let him niakiTuji’Yiis'iuuitl as to "wli'at | dish of character he will order, and here is the amplest hill of fare on the earth.— He may be sure of fihding it. It was in the Portland Steamer, on my way to an Ecclesiastical Convention, a bout a year ago, that I found a gay young man making some remarks about the roasting of beef in England—when I ask ed him if he were lately from that coun try? ‘O yes!’ he replied, ‘and I am the only Englishman on hoard.’ Indeed, 1 said; and (aside to some American cler gymen) that I must at that time have A lnericanized pretty fast. My young conn flyman, seeing me,3 suppose, a little du bious, repeated his remark, that though there were lot) passengers, he could as sure pie he was the only Englishman. In the course of the afternoon he began to exaggerate the difference between the rur al life and great comforts of ‘home’ and those of ibis country. I saw where the young calf was thrusting his nose.— lie pressed these points among some young Americans, to whom lie found them disagreeable, and, bees or hornets, they had a natural propensity to defend their hive. The Englishman was not spared.; nor did he spare folly or falsehood in some of his descriptive reiurts. 1 would have interfered for him had he fairly de served or permitted it: but he went ‘ahead,’ as warm in the strife as any around. In the morning the Captain in terfered to preserve the peace. Just be fore our leaving the boat, I took aside this young gentleman and said, ‘You ob served yesterday that you were the only Englishman on hoard,’ ‘Yes, and so I am, and shamefully they have treated me all the way. It is a blackguard country.’ 1 replied ‘You are not the only English man on board. lam an Englishman, ami was so some twenty-five years before you were horn. As you were mistaken in this matter, of which you were so confident, perhaps you are not so well informed as you suppose in some others. Os one thing, allow me to say, you are not—how to travel in a foreign country. You car rJ'-.7eur elbows out-square, and expert every body to make room for you. Ex cuse the hint, to carry them by your side and you will fare better.’ On voyage, a political orator was addressing a group of passengers in one of the avenues of the Saloon, and us ed some oaths. Passing quicklv through, I gently said to him—‘Try, mv friend, whetheryou cannot make as good impres sion without swearing so much.’ A friend told me this was doubly taken in good part. The orator paused, said he suppos ed the gentleman was a clergyman, and was right —forbore to swear, and soon •closed. I of the White Mountains, the loftiest of the United States, east of the Mississippi. ; At sea, they seemed to lay like a noble tleece 'cast on the margin of the ethereal j canopy. It was sodifficult, indeed, to dis : tinguish them from a white cloud, that had not the captain pointed to them, they ' would have escaped me. Washington and 'Lafayette were, 1 understand, the worthies in sight, each rising 5000 feet above the level of the surrounding country. To what meditations might these positions, commanding the noblest view of the East ern States, give rise! Re-named by the revolution one man could take no other prospect from them, however than his school of Political Economy, or the green glasses of party spirit would permit him. Another would more naturally survey the landscape in its natural resources ; its for ests, wondrously pierced and subdued in a generation, and still tempting labor and capital; its.unexplored geology and min erals; its agriculture strangely neglected. A third would weep with more personal and creditable feeling than Xerxes, at the perishable, vexed condition of the existing lords of the soil, and read in the scattered remnants of the wandering native races, a beacon and a token of what their con querors may become, lint I forget that I am connected with yet more transient prospects. The boat in nearing Boston, just avoided those central rocks on which we actually struck in coming in, 1834.* [Bangor Journal. . a_ Ei.ectko Magnetism.— YVe do not profess to know any thing about this mat ter, hut give the annexed extracts from a contemporary print, in order to give our readers an idea of the matter: ‘lt is now a decided point that the mys terious principle of electricity—galvan ism—magnetism—for they are hut modi fications of the same principle, can be applied to machienery, made to propel j steamboats; can be applied to railroad cars, in short, every purpose to which j stern is now applied; and to thousands ol' others. Franklin proved that electricity is light ning ; it has since been demonstrated that galvanism is a modification of the same principle. Since then, every year | has brought to light some new principle j connected with this mysterious agent, j that has astonished the philosophic world. The effects of galvanism upon the dead bodies ot animals, imparting to them muscular and nervous energy, served to indicate that it was nothing less than the principle of life itself. It was next dis covered that magnetism was dependant upon this principle ; and that the polarity oi the earth—which is called the princi ple ol gravitation, according to the New tonian theory—the principle which moves the planets ; and keeps all creation in or but the effect ot the same sublime discov ery. * Every thing in nature is simple when it is once understood. Every body has seen the magnet or loadstone, and witnessed the force with which it attracts iron or another, magnet. Every one knows, or ought to know, that every magnet has a North and South pole—a positive end, and a negative. We wish those to know who do not already, that the most power ful magnets in the world, magnets ca pable of raising a weight of fifteen hun dred pounds, are produced by the action of a galvanic battery. It should he known that when two magnets are put together, the North and South poles of each attract the other, but the North pole repels the North, and the South the South, though both attract iron. Now we come to the point. Galvanism, applied to pieces of iron in a certain way, gives them a high magnetic power. By means ol this power, ahd the powerful attrac tions and repulsions, a magnetic wheel is made to revolve within a magnetic circle, with the rapidity ot lightning, and the force of a thunderbolt—yet it can he set in motion and managed by a child, and the direction changed instantly. The power can he increased indefinite ly, can he applied in any situation, or to any purpose, to wind silk, or raise a frig j ate, and while the machine is so simple | as never to get out of order, so free from j friction as never to wear out, it will cost at first, less than a steam engine, and af j terwards, less than it would take to oil : the greasy, smoky, noisy machines, that : have blown so many poor creatures into eternity.’ Waste ok i.ikk in tiie Army.—An other source of decrease of the popula tion of England, is the maintenance of the army and navy in foreign countries, which requires a large number of recruits |to supply the vacancies by death. A | force of 30,000 men in the East Indies, 7,000 in the West Indies, and 13,000 in lonian isles, Canada, <!kc. will suffer 3.- 000 yearly deaths in time of peace, ad ding to which 100 yearly deaths from shipwreck, we shall 'have 4000 as the number ol soldiers and sailors quitting England every yea* and never returning. London and Birmingham Railroad. The cost of this road, whic(j is about 112 miles in length, is estimated at .4'4,- 500,000, or about 4f40,000 a mile. It is! built of rails weighing 75 lbs. per yard, resting on granite blocks, and yet the cost per mile does not exceed that of the Liv- j erpool and Manchester road, of which the rails weigh but 30 lbs. per yard, and are placed on blocks of red sandstone. 1 here are now on the road between Lon don and Binning!)-!:!), and on parrallel BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE. routes, sixty five coaches daily, and the daily number of passengers is computed to be about fifteen hundred, *r three times the number between Liverpool and Man chester before Jhe railroad was opened. The quantity of goods transported daily between London and Birmingham is com puted to be not less than 500 ton# The Liverpool and Manchester railroad now pays a net prophet of ten per cent per annum.—There can be no doubt that the London and Birmingham will afford an ample income.

Red River Raft. A correspondent of the N. O .Bulletin, gives the following in relation to the raft : ‘The raft presents a body of timber, wedged and piled together in a singular chaotic state; trees of the largest stature stand erect, buried to a great depth in the alluvial ; in many places, masses of tim ber thirty and forty feet deep, the accu mulation of ages with large trees grown up, firmly rooted in the discomposing mass. The enormous quantity of timber cut out in the distance of five miles, ex ceeds credibility. The body of logs floated, hauled, and piled to form a dam over one outlet only, would have reqiured, without the aid of steam, the labor of an army for years : dead trees of solid tim ber, ten to fifteen feet in circumference, are torn out of the beds in which they have been resting for ages, sawed up, and disposed of as if they were but walking sticky. It is supposed that the raft will a°¥4° s M L the work is engaged in, next fall. This however, I much doubt—the great fresh et of 1833 will be found to have knit the accumulation of the last ten or twen ty years, into an exceedingly compact body.” Death-bed Confession. —John R. Buzzel, who was indicted and tried some two years and a half ago, for having been engaged in the celebrated Convent°Riot, and was acquitted upon liis trial, has, says the Boston Atlas, since died, and on his death bed confessed himself to have been one of those who set tire to the Convent. Gold. The mines are still sending in their weekly products. W e saw three beautiful bars from the \V alton mine-yes terday, containing seven or eight hundred dollars, and a day or two previous a lump containing somewhat over that amount. Other mines are making their deposites with great regularity.—[Richmond Com piler. Lvkf. Sii'Eiuon Fti. lino Ui*. There are one thousand streams which empty themselves into this Lake, sweeping in sand, stones and drift wood, from which case the lake, it is said, is gradually filling up. The same is the case with Lake Lrie. Long Point has, within the last three years, extended itself three miles into water. The water near the shore is gradually becoming shallow. Reform. One of the best instances of reform, of which we have heard, is one going on in Belfast, Me. The Dis tillery in that place-is to be turned into a Grist Mill, and thus will be instrumental iu sending forth true nourishment for the people, instead of that which has proved a poison and the source of discord, un happpiness, poverty and crime.—[Prov. Jour. The time to Blush. “Blush not now,” said a distinguised Italian to his young relative, whom he met issuing from a haunt of vice; “you should have flush ed when you went in.” The heart alone is safe which shrinks from the sUghest contract or conception of evil, and waits not to enquire, what will the world say. A Short Account of the Whole Trouble. Ihe Boston Advertiser says: “All the world owes all the world more than all the world are worth, and all the world call upon all the world to pay. All the world, therefore, are in reality worth just as much actual wealth as they were before the world failed. The passions are the pairs of life, and it is religion only that can prevent them from rising into a Tempest. THE ADVOCATE. BRUNSWICK, (Ga.) AUGUST 10, 1837. Mr. King’s fust letter, we are happy to see, has been copied into many of the Georgia pa jiers. This week wc publish the extract to which he alluded in the letter to the Athens Student, which appeared in the last number of the Advocate. This extract is not only inter esting to the friends of Brunswick, but must be valuable for the information it furnishes in regard to the various works either under con struction or projected in the South Western States. If by any means, the course of trade can be turned from New Orleans to the Atlan tic, there must be an immense saving of wealth and life. The difference in the time of the voyages to and from Europe between a port on the Atlantic and a town on the Mississippi, would be the saving of great sums yearly, and the greater security for the lives of those en gaged in commerce is another most important item. It is a well known fact too, that the channel of the Mississippi is rapidly filling up, and an examination of the valley through which this river flows, clearly proves that most stupendous changes constantly occur in its for mation. The alluvial deposite which has thus far formed this immense valley is still adding to its extent The solid earth is encroaching Upon the Gulf slowly, though surely, and the city of New Orleans must yield up the com merce of the West The fact is well known to commercial rnen that ships employed at present in the New Orleans trade are of much lqss burthen than those used twenty or even ten years ago, and they must constantly dimin ish to enable them to ascend the river. Should the same natural causes continue in active op -eration, ere many years New Orleans must be completely shut out Mobile and Pensacola will take the business of the lower section of the Valley, while Baltimore and Charleston, if they carry through their rail road, will com mand that of the North—the cotton'will find a market on the Gulf—the wheat and other pro ductions go to the Atlantic. Whether the operation of natural causes and the channel of the Mississippi re tain its present depth and New Orleans all its facilities, very much of the trade which it now monopolizes must be turned aside by the dif ferent rail roads of which we have spoken.— For instance the products of the Tennessee River will pass through Georgia whenever the Great Western Rail Road is completed. So the Ohio will pour out its fullness on Baltimore or Charleston, and the riches of the lower Mis sissippi will reach the Atlantic by means of the Brunswick and Florida Road. Is it not then of the utmost importance to Georgia that this rail road should be constructed and a conj will be able to claim a portion of the tradft of the West ? Absentees. Rambling about town the oth er day, having nothing better to do,we number ed seventy one of our finest dwelling houses closed, their owners having taken w'ing for the Summer. The smallest among them would yield a yearly rent of from $450 to SSOO, and many double the amount—Suppose each of these families to spend SISOO during their ab sence, and we have the aggregate of SIOB,OOO, the interest at 5 per cent ofupwards 0f2,000.- 000! This is exclusive of the thousands carried “but of our State by hundreds of others of our fel low citizens, the item being confined to a few heads of families, whose absence is indicated by their deserted mansions so conspiciously situated as to attract the attention of the pass ers by.—Go ahead with your Rail Road friend Gordon, for if our City must send annually from her limits, large masses of money, let her have an opportunity of spending them among our bret 1 iron in the interior of this State, w hore a climate and a country may be found equal to any in the world. * The above is from the Savannah Georgian, and is good evidence of the truth of the state- ment so often contradicted, that there is no healthy Port on the Southern Coast. Why should all these families desert Savannah dur ing the Summer if it is so very healthy ? Why should they year after year, leave their pala ces and all the luxuries they afford, for the in conveniences and discomforts of traveling in the North ? It must be, because health is en dangered by remaining at home. Brunswick, Situated on the ocean, with no fresh water in her neighborhood, will be able to retain her population during the year; and instead of her citizens departing every Summer to spend at the North the proceeds of their labor during the Winter, they will keep it at home to add to the productive capital of the State. We join with the Georgian how ever in wish ing success to their Rail Road. We wish well to every enterprise of the kind, for every new work must add to the friends of Internal Improvement, and on this feeling must Bruns wick depend for her future importance. In the Macon Carrier w e notice a call to the young men of that city to form an associa tion “ for the benefit and comfort of the sick stranger and all others that may need the hands of charity or the kind attentions of friends.”— .Such a generous call we sincerely trust met a-synipathetic response from the young men of Macon. They could join in no holier con cert—in none which can afford them more pure satisfaction—on which they can look back with so much true pride. “May"you die among your kindred,” is a beautiful saying of the Arabs, but only the stranger can jj* full beauty and force. It is hard to die among one’s kindred, where every want is supplied— where the pillow is smbothed by the hand of affection—where loving eyes watch the un quiet slumbers, and kind voices speak words | of hope or of preparation For the awful change. But how mlich keener must be the anguish of death when it comes to one in a strange land, dependent on attentions and services bought with money and reluctantly bestowed. With “No voice well known through many a day, To speak the last, the parting word Which when all other sounds decay, Is still like distant music heard. The tender farewell on the shore, Os stormy lilt- when all is o’er, To cheer the spirit ere its bark Puts off into the unknown dark.” Extract of a letter from Thomas Butler Kino, President of the Florida Rail Road Company, to Thomas Lamb, Secretary of the Company. 1 * Monticello, Wayne County, Ga. ? ® (itli January,' 1837. ) ' “The Rail Road project, from Brunswick to the Gulf of Mexico or Appalachicola river, is daily attracting more and more notice and admiration. The inhabitants of this State be gin to realize its vast importance to the most fertile cotton districts east of the Valley of the Mississippi—the Southern counties of Georgia, and the lands on theChattahoochie—that river is now navigable to Columbus a great portion of the year, and can be rendered so all the year at small expense. From Columbus, there is a Rail Road to be constructed shortly to West Point, along the rapids—from whence the river is for two hundred miles into the rich farming districts in the Northwestern counties of the State. The produce from which and the supplies for which must pass over our Rail Road.' There is a Rail Road now being constructed from Montgomery in Alabama to West Point of Columbus, to us it is,not mate rial which—all communication over it with the Atlantic must pass over our road. Georgia is now pledged to construct a Rail Road from the Steamboat waters of the Tennessee to the nav igable points on our own rivers;—the main trunk to descend to Forsyth, from whence there is a Rail Road now being constructed to Ma con, —and by a glance at the map of Georgia, you will perceive that a Rail Road can easily be constructed from Macon to join the Florida road somewhere in Ware or Lounds counties ; thus directing the travel and freight which will pass to and from the “mighty West,” over near one hundred miles of the Brunswick and Florida Rail Road. I have obtained the pas sage of a law granting to the Brunswick and Florida Rail Road Company the privilege of constructing a branch road to the city of Colum bus on the Cliattahoochie, with all the privi leges secured by law to the main road. From this branch near Pindertown on Flint river, it would not be more than sixty miles to Macon - iaJoin.rthfl ac JiQSI&HW Tennessee, which is to lie construePtnto. My opinion is thatthe Brunswick and Flor ida Rail Road ought to extend from the junc tion of the Flint and Cliattahoochie, direct to Pensacola—the distance is not over fitly miles further than to St. Andrews or Choctahachy— which is not more than four hours run for a loaded car, and about three for passengers.— All freight and passengers could then pass to and from Mobile, New Orleans, and towns in the interior, without being to the storms and dangers of the Gulf, or to sea-sick ness, and last but not least, to an enemy in time of war. There is a Rail Road now be ing constructed from Pensacola to Mobile! When the Brunswick and Florida Road shall be completed, the line of communication to the Mississippi will be perfect There is not a port on flie coast of Texas deep enough for a ship to enter. All the trade of that fertile region must therefore be carried oil in coasting vessels—and of course come to the terminus of our road, as well as a great portion of the produce of the Valley of the Mississippi. Safety and celerity, control the commercial exchanges of the present day.— Our Rail Road will secure those advantages in a greater degree than any other line, or means of communication with the Y r alley of the Mississippi, and the borders of the Gulf.— There are several Rail Road projects from Pensacola, and Mobile, to various places in Alabama, and some of the most important will I undoubtedly be constructed. All the freight j and passengers on those roads destined for ; places beyond Cape Florida, and all supplies , tor that wealthy State, must of course pass over our road if we carry it to Pensacola. And it will make no difference to the Brunswick Company, whether the roads in Alabama ter minate at Mobile or Pensacola, as there is, as I have observed, a road now being construct ed between those places. In fact by extending the Brunswick road to Pensacola, it must and will receive the passengers and freight from the interior of the country and the borders of the Gulf. The political condition of the West Indies, is annually becoming more precarious. When ever the present Governor of Cuba, shall be removed, that Island will probably be revolu tionized. The distracted state of Spain, is rapidly promoting such a result. It is at pres ent impossible to {form an opinion how long the contest will continue between Texas and Mexico, It is not improbable that our com naeire to the Gulf will suffer more or loss whetror die United States become involved in Avar with Mexico or not. It therefore appears evident to my mind that the unsettled and un certain state of the political communities on the borders of the Gulf, to the West and South of the United States, and the increasing wants and importance of the Southern portions of the Valley of the Mississippi, Florida, and the Western part of Georgia, the dangers and de lays of the navigation round Cape Florida and among the Keys of the West Indies, infested as they ever have been, and ever will be by Pirates, and Wreckers,—render the construc tion of the Brunswick and Florida Rail Road a work of vast importance not only to Georgia, but the whole Southwest, and that it ought to extend to Pensacola; the harbor of which is already fortified, and unquestionably the best on the Gulf, within the limits of the United States—a Naval Depot is established there.— It is perfectly safe for seamen in Summer, and the town is considered one of the most health ful in the Southern country. I am therefore of opinion, that it is better suited to the great purposes of a terminus of our Rail Road on the Gulf, than any other place.” Foreign. By the Roscoe arrived in New York, intelligence from England has been re ceived up to June 23. The extracts from the English papers refer mostly to the death of the King,* and the proceedings subsequent thereto, and are not particularly interesting. It is very gravely said, the People cheered when Victoira was prononneed Queen. They tlid the same thing when William the Fourth was proclaimed,—and so will they, when the successor of Victoria ascends the throne. Cotton was on the rise. The Times contains the follow ing paragraph: “We learn that an idea prevails among the leading mercantile men and capitalists in the city, that lliat the fi nancial difficulties which have existed for so many months past are now nearly at an end, and that a public declaration to that effect is in contemplation. The late events in America have evidently tended much to restore confi dence.” Nothing of interest in France; and in Spain the Carlists have the better of the game. London, June IG. The stock of bullion in the Bank, we arc glad to say, is progressively accumulating; and amounts at present we be lieve to about 5,300,000?. It is a fact, that while bullion is being imported generally from the Continent, from 10,000/, to 15,000/. a week goes to Holland, as paymenthy the gulls who have bought Dutch Stock. Some of our contemporaries seem to be sur prised that gold should come here from Russia but is quite as much in the natural course of things as that sugar should come from Jamai ca. Russia bids fair to be the Mexico of the Old World. Last year the produce of the silver mines amounted to about (108,000/., and that of her gold mines to about 335,000/. Not having, notwithstanding the rapid increase of wealth and civilization, a demand for so large an amount of bullion, the supply necessarily finds its way to the best market, which at this moment happens to be England. LgxppN, June ID. The accounts froi«Ahe nMpftajflhring districts generally arc very fiat, buTwe no]>e scion to see an improvement, as the most serious cause of uneasiness has been removed; however, it cannot be denied that the early prospect of a general mourning tends to aggravate the stagnation of trade, which originated with the suspension of the American orders, and the discrediy-esulting from the embarrassments of that Wanch of commerce. In Liverpool there was a much better feeling in all departments on Saturday. Liverpool, June 24.— Cotton. There has been a very decided improvement in the cot ten market sine the worst has been known rel ative to the expectations from the United States. It is some satisfaction to be assured even of the worst. When that is known, doubt ceases, and the springs of enterprise ob tain anew elasticity. Trade is a tiling gov erned by fixed principles mid of these the leading one is a certainty orthe grounds on which it acts. In this place, the assurance that commercial affairs in America have pass ed their crisis, has caused the reaction—has created the rebound which, wfith ordinary care, will probably in a wholesome and, at the same time, an extended renewal of the enter piise which, discreetly worked, causes general prosperity and individual success. The improvement in the cotton market has been followed, of course, by a like improve ment in other produce, for as the chief staple sinks or rises in price, there is a corresponding decline or increase in others. This improve” ment will extend itself, of course, beyond Liv erpool, because what causes the advance here, must produce.good effects elsewhere. The increased demand for cotton here, leads to the conclusion that the manufacturers of Man chester, Stockport, &c. will resume their full tide of work ; —and, indeed, the latest reports from the manufacturing districts already show some of the favorable results we mention. But it is not alone from what we may call “the cotton districts” that such reports may be anti cipated. Trade, although a much extended and delicate complication, has its various de tails mutually dependent upon each other. The same cause which gives life and spirit to the cotton market of Liverpool leads to an improvement in the demand for hardware from Birmingham, for cutlery from Sheffield, wool len cloths from Yorkshire and the west of En gland, printed calicoes from Manchester, and China from the potteries of Staffordshire, Wor cester and Derby. Let us hope that with the reviving energies ofiltrade, the spirit of over speculation may not revive also. It is a wild and delusive sport. It has led to many, if not most of the evils under which the country has for some months been suffering, and from which it only now be gins to show symptoms of recovery. An aw ful lesson has been taught—may the merchants and manufacturers of England profit by it America. The article with this title on our first page, we think will be read Rath much interest. The graphic and highly fin ished description of Dr.. Channing appeared originally, as editorial in the American Month ly Magazine, conducted by N. P. Willis, sev eral years since; and from this circumstance we conclude the entire article is from the pen of that writer. Setting aside his foppery, Mr. Willis is one of the pleasantest writers in A merica, and excels in description. His letters from Europe have been extensively" published
