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.

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.

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.
