possessos one of the best harbors, if not the
very best in the Southern States. The works
of internal improvement now in progress and
in contemplation as practicable, and which
will no doubt be carried through, connecting
the port of Brunswick with the resources of
the interior, cannot fail to make it a place ot
importance. Add to this the fact that there is
a Bank to be located tliero with a capital ol
250,000 dollars to begin with, and the privi
lege of increasing it to 3 millions, when the
Rail Road to the Chatahoochee is completed.
We have no interest whatever in Brunswick,
and in wishing it all the success it merits, that
feeling is dictated by no hostility to other
ports. For Savannah we have always felt a
lively interest and shall hail with much pleas- j
ure the day when her prospects shall be ren
dered bright and cheering by the completion of
her great Rail Road to Macon.
Commonwealth Bank of Boston.
The Boston Atlas of Monday publishes
an extract from the revised statues ofj
Massachusetts expressly prohibiting any ;
bank from becoming indebted more than
double the amount ol its capital stock,;
and holding the directors personally re-'
sponsible for the excess, except in case ofj
absence or dissent, which must be forth-!
with made known to the governor and
council.
In direct violation of the statute, says ’
the Atlas, we learn that the Common
wealth Bank, with a capital of $*500,000,
has extended its liabilities to the amount
of $1,400,000 —leaving an excess of
$400,000, for which the directors become
responsible. It is understood that only
one of the directors Elisha Parks, Esq,
has been enabled to avail himself of the
means of exemption presented in the
statute, thereby exonerating himself from
the guilt of participating in this infraction
of the law.
The following are the officers of the
bank:—President, John K. Simpson, (de
ceased); Cashier, Charles Hood; Direc
tors, J. K. Simpson, Adams Bailey, John
Mills, Olive Fletcher, 11. J. llow, Win.
Freeman, Elisha Parks, F. S. Carrutli,
Otis Rich, Charles Hood.
The Atlas states that John K. Simpson,
Hall J. How, Charles Hood, S. S. Lewis,
Wm. Parmenter, and Isaac Hill, are col
lectively indebted to the Commonwealth
Bank in a snm exceeding the whole
amount of its capital of $500,000.
Rev. Moses Thatcher vs. Preston Pond.
A full report (says the Post) of this sin
gular trial will be published in the course
of a few days at the oflice of the Ded
ham Gazette. 'The Gazette gives the fol
lowing general outline of the case—the
particulars are too revolting for newspa
per publication:—
“Gen. Preston Pond, in November,
1536, openly charged licv. Mr. Thatcher
with committing the crime of adultery
with one Adeline Hawes, an unmarried fe
male living in Mr. TVS family—with hav
ing improper intercourse with other fe
males, and with making attempts upon
the chastity and the person of the wife of
a deacon in Rev. INI r. Thatcher’s own
church. Rev. Mr. Thatcher sued him
for slander, and thus, of course, challeng
ed him to produce the proof of his asser
tions. The damages were laid at S3OOO.
The public are already aware that the
case terminated in favor of Rtv. Mr. That
cher, in the nominal sum of five dol
lars damages.
Description of Navy Island. Naty
Island is two miles above Niagara Falls, half
a mile from the Canadian a*i a mile and a
half from the American shore. It comprises
385 acres, and belongs to Canada. Grand Is
land, belonging to the United States, lies to
the south of Navy Island, and comprises some
thousands of acre*. Its north end—we quote
from the Rochester Democrat—“ covers about
one third of Navy Island, by drawing a paral
lel line from the American shore, and is a lit
tle short of half a mile from it. Between the
two islands the current is rapid, but not so rap
id as it is between Navy Island and the Cana
da shore—the distance between which is, we
should judge, a trifle over half a mile. It
would be impossible for a boat to make its
way from the Canada shore to the Island, in a
direct line. The current would carry them
below the Island, and, unless skillfully manag
ed, below the Falls. The only possible w-uy
for a landing to be effected by the Royalists,
would be to start from some point a mile or
more above, move partially with the current,
and strike upon the south point of the Island.
If no resistance should be made, this could
very easily be accomplished; but the dis
charge of a few pieces of ordnance—laden
with grape shot—upon the fleet or boats
which would necessarily be employed upon
Buch an expedition, would so maim them as to
inevitably either sink them, or make them so
perfectly unmanageable as to be carried with
the current over the Falls. It is the know
ledge of this fa at winch prevented more than
fifteen to volunteer their services for an attack
upon the island. The thunderings of the
mighty cataract were far more eloquent than
the harangue of Governor Head; and its
frowning brow more terrific than his threats
and swaggerings. It makes Navy Island—un
adorned with either walls or bulwarks—-more
formidable than Quebec or Gibraltar, and per
fectly impregnable. Five hundred men, well
armed, and a good train of artillery, might bid
eternal defiance to ten thousand.
Chippewa is about half a mile below the
north point of the Island, and so situated that
it could be destroyed by hot shot from the Is
land. The troops on the Canada shores are
principally quartered in two large taverns di
rectly opposite the centre of the Island, both
of which could be easily shattered by the pat
riot artillery. The banks of the Island are
from ten to twenty feet in height, and gener
ally perpendicular. At no point, however,
would they present a landing, if unguarded;
but their elevation would enable a few men to
do wonderful execution among those who
would venture an attack against an armed
force.”
The two Johnsons. From the “Sketches
of W estern Adventures.”] Early in the fall
of ’O3, two boys by the name of Johnson, the
one 12, and the other nine years of age, w ere
playing on the banks of Short, creek, near I
the mouth of the Muskingum, and occasionally
shipping stones into the water. At a distance, j
they saw two men, dressed like ordinary set-1
tiers, in hats and coat, who gradually aproach- j
ed them, and from time to time threw stones j
into the water, in imitation of the children. — I
At length, when within 100 yards of the j
boys, they suddenly threw off their masks,!
and rushing rapidly upon them, took them
prisoners. They proved to be Indians of the j
Delaware tribe. Taking the children in their'
anus, they ran hastily into the woods ; and af
ter a rapid march of about six miles they en
camped for the night Having kindled a fire,
and laying their rifles and tomahawks against
a tree, they lay down to rest, each with a boy in
his arms. The children, as may be readily
supposed, were too much agitated to sleep.—
The eldest at length began to move his limbs
cautiously, and finding that the Indian who
held him remained fast asleep, he gradually ;
I disengaged himself from his arms, and walk- j
!ed to the fire, which had burnt low r . He re
! mained several minutes in suspense of what, j
was to be done. Having stirred the fire, and
ascertained the exact position of the enemies j
j arms, he w hispered softly to his brother to imi-
I tate his example, and if possible to extricate j
I himself from his keeper. The little boy did j
| as his brother directed, and both stood irreso-;
j lute around the fire.—At length the oldest,who j
was of a very resolute disposition, proposed
I they should kill the sleeping Indians, and re-1
I turn home. The eldest pointed at one of the
I guns, and assured his brother if he would only
j pull the trigger of that gun after he had pla
j ced it to rest, he would answer for the other
Indian. The plan was agreed upon. The ri
fle was levelled, with the muzzle resting on a
log, which lay near ; and having stationed his
little brother at the breech, with positive orders
not to touch the trigger until he gave the word.
He then seized the tomahawk, and advanced
cautiously to the sleeper. Such was the agi
tation of the younger brother, however, that
he touched the trigger too soon, and the report
of his gun awakened the other Indian before
his brother was quite prepared. He struck the
blow, however, with firmness, although in the
hurry of the act it was done with the blunt
j part of the hatchet, and only stunned his an
tagonist. Quickly repeating the blow, howev
er, with the edge, lie inflicted a deep wound
upon the Indian’s head, and after repeated
strokes, left him lifeless upon the spot.
The other, frightened at the explosion of
his own gun, had already taken to his scra
pers, and with much difficulty was overtaken
jby his brother. Having regained the road by
which they had advanced, the elder fixed his
hat upon a bush, to mark the spot, and by day
light they regained their homes. They found
their mother in an agony of grief for their
loss.and ignorant whether they had been drown
ed, or taken by the Indians. Their tale was
heard with astonishment, not unmingled with
incredulity, and a few of the neighbors, insis
ted upon accompanying them to the spot where
so extraordinary a recontre had occurred. The
place was soon found, and the truth of the
boy’s story placed beyond a doubt. The tom
ahawked Indian lay in his blood where he fell
but the one who had been shot, was not to be
found. A broad trail of blood, however, ena
bled them to track his footsteps, and he was at
length overtaken. His under jaw had been
entirely shot away, and his hands and breast
were covered with clotted blood. Though
very much exhausted, he still kept his pursu
■ ers at bay, ahd faced them, from time to time,
j with an air of determined resolution. Either
I his gory appearance, or the 'apprehension that
more were in the neighborhood, had such an
j effect upon his pursuers, that, notwithstanding
their numbers, yet he was permitted to escape,
j Whether he survived, or perished in the wil
| derness, could not be ascertained; but from
J the severity of the wound, the latter supposition
is most probable.
11l MARK A lit. E PHENOMENON. Tile
Hempstead (Long Island) Inquirer, of
the 1:1th, gives an almost supernatural
narration of the corpse of a young lady
which was exhumed a few days since m
that village for re-interment in another
spot. 'l'iie coffin was in a good state of
preservation—and on examination of the
corpse, which yet presented its original
shape, there were found to lie growing
from its surface a vegetable substance, in
the shape of filaments of grass, but of a
whitish color, with a small bud on the
end of each one. These spires of grass
had risen from various parts of the face,
the forehead, upper lips, and cheeks.
Several were plucked, and are now in the
possession of the gentleman who inform
ed us of this remarkable fact, and who
has promised us an inspection of them.
It is well known that in all dry, gravel
ly soils like that of Hempstead plains the
body undergoes little or no decomposi
tion even after the lapse of centuries.
Under the tower of the church of St. Mi
chael, at Bordeaux, (the famous grave or
gravelly country which raises the choice
wines,) bodies arc shown that are dried
into mummies, and are several hundred
years old—their features, expression, iSoc.
still remaining. The same, we believe,
exists in a church at Palermo, as describ
ed so graphically in oue of N. P. Willis’
letters. In the above case, however, the
fluids of the body appear to have been
preserved, and to have afforded nutriment
to the invisible germs of some of those
cryptogunwus plants whose propagation is
but little understood. [New York Star.
We perceive that one or two men have
recently been stabbed in the stomach, in
New York. This is “the unkindest cut
of all,” in these hard times when it is so
difficult for a fellow to get anything to put
into his stomach—after it is once there
it should be allowed to remain. [Boston

BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
ANE THOUSAND DOLLARS RE- i
WARD.
WHEREAS it has been reported that there !
is ail outer bar opposite the entrance to the j
Port of Brunswick, in Georgia, some miles dis- 1
tant from that surveyed by throe Commission- \
era of the Navy in lc3<i, and having less water
upon it; the above reward is offered to any per- i
son who will discover any such bar so situated ,
as to cause a hindrance to shins entering the '
Port.
And whereas it has been also confidently re- ’
ported that there is a bar across the inner chan-!
nel of Oglethorpe Bay, opposite the eitv ofj
Brunswick, having only the depth of six or!
eight feet of water on it at low tide ; a reward I
of five hundred dollars will be paid to any per- j
son who shall discover such bar, or any bar :
so situated, which has not an abundant depth of
water upon it for the passage of merchant ships 1
of the first class up to the town.
The inner bar above alluded to is probably
the one described in the following extracts,
Ist, From the report of the State Commis
sioners, John G. Polhill, Hugh Lawson and
Moses Fort, Esquires:
‘•Between Brandy Point on this island, and
Dennis’s Folly on the Brunswick shore, there
is an inner bar, upon which there is about twelve
feet at low water, and. as the tide rises ten feet,
it gives the same depth of water that we find on
the outer bar, with this advantage, that the
bottom being soft mud creates no damage to
ships and may be very easily deepened if it j
were necessary. But no such necessity exists, ■
as any ship that crosses the outer liar cun run
over this at high water, and find the best an- ,
chorage near the bluff along the whole extent i
of the town, in from twenty to forty feet water '
at the lowest time of tide. This we ascertain- j
ed from careful soundings at low water, and
after having finished the soundings for our- j
selves, ascertained that Stockton's report and !
| diagrams confirmed our own survey.’’
2d. From the report of the Commissioners of
i the Navy, made subs- quently to the last:
J “A shoal of soft mud, close to and below the
; town, on which but 12 feet can be found at low
| water,seems to indicate some other point in the
j harbor as a more suitable position for a navy
'yard. We believe Blythe Island, on the op
posite shore, to be the most eligible.”
■ Any person making (he above discoveries,
! will please give information of the same to
the Resident Agent of the Brunswick Com
panies. and the reward shall be paid ia each
case to the first successful applicant.

A Acre Advertisement,
.] .Vue Year, and a .Yew Inducement, for sub
srnbiiur to t/,c Weekly Messenger !
rpHE cheapest and decidedly the most pop
-3- ular Family Newspaper in the U States,
with a circulation of many thousand subscrib
ers The American Weekly Messenger is
published every AA'ednesday, on beautiful white
paper, ofthe largest class, at $2 per annum, or
ten subscriptions for §lO.
Its contents are adapted to the wants of the
Farmer, Mechanic, Tradesman, Agriculturist,
Merchant and Manufacturer.
Tins Journal was commenced on the first of
January last, and, without any previous effort
to herald its success, went into immediate and
rapid circulation. Such was the unprecedent
ed popularity which attended its projection
that, in about six months from the period it
was first issued, not less than fifteen thousand
names were embraced on its subscription lists',
which have beeii ever since constantly and
rapidly increasing, and now bid fair to super
code in extent and stability every other pub
lication which lias existed in the literary world.
it is generally conceded that the contents of
the Messengef embraces as much origimal
mutter as any other periodical of the present
day. The diffusion of useful and wholesome
information, with a view to the cultivation of a
correct knowledge of Polite Literature, is the
chief object at which it aims. Arrangements
J have been entered into, by tihieh the publish
|or will be assisted in the editorial department
Iby the talents of three or four gentlemen of
| distinguished abilities—and it is intended tiv
' introduce several important improvements,
which will bespeak additional popularity for
its columns.
As the character and leading features of this
! Journal are well known throughout the United
! States, it will be superfluous to enter into a
I recital ol the same, 'flic season is approach*
; ing, however, when the reading public are ex
pected to make their selections l'or the next
I year, and we deem it advisable, therefore, to
! furnish a brief and explicit statement of our
terms, w iiGli we hope will prove satisfactory,
and he implicitly observed:
J A ten dollar bill, forwarded hy mail, postage
paid, will pay for ten copies ofthe Messenger
for one year! A five dollar bill, forwarded by
mail, postage paid, will pay for lour copies for
one year ! Two dollars, paid in advancq, is
tiie price of an individual subscription for one
' year One dollar, in advance, will pay for a
I single s ufisc;option for six months only,
j A five dollar note will pity one year’s sub
i scription to the AA’eekly Messenger and also
the Gentleman’s Magazine, edited by AV. E.
! Burton, Esq.
LURemittances from Clubs, to be entitled
; to the full advantages ofthe liberal terms here
I offered, must be made in sums of five's and
ten's of current Bank notes—any lesser u
j mount, forwarded Ly mail, will be classed a-
I long with individual subscriptions.
A premium of FORTY NOA’EL‘3, neatly
I and appropriately bound, containing the pro
ductions of many of the celebrated writers of
the present day, will be presented to any Agent
forwarding forty subscribers, and the pay in
j advance,as heretofore stipulated.
At tin' expiration of the term subscribed for
and paid by clubs, the paper will invariably be
discontinued, unless the advance money is for-'
warded provh us to that time,and the subscrip
tions renewed, in the manner above specified.
It will fie a great saving to the publisher,-
and facilitate the early mailftig of the paper, if
the individual forwarding the sum required for
four, or ten, or more subscribers, when they
are located together, will allow the package to
i fie, addressed to the Postmaster, or someone a
mong themselves, who being made acquainted
with the names of the Club, can as readily dis
tribute them as if directed separately.
All letters must be post paid, or they will
not be taken out of the office. Address
