The hurricane of Barbadoes in 1780,
presents a scene of terror hardly inferior
to th 4 plague of Athens.
‘The events we have been relating were
succeeded, in the West Indies, by a sort
of general truce between the two parties.
—But tho* the fury of men was suspended
for a while, that of the elements broke
out in a manner much mure tremendous.
It was now the month of October, and the
inhabitants of the islands were in the en
joyment of that unexpected tranquility
which resulted from the cessation of arms,
when their shores & the seas that washed
them were assailed by so drea ls il a tem
pest, that scarcely would theie be found
a similar example in the whole series of
maritime records, however replete with
shocking disasters and pitiable ship
wrecks. If this fearful scourge fell with
with more or less violence upon all the
islands of the Wcst-!ndies, it no where
raged with more destructive energy than
in the flourishing island of Bardadoes.—
(t was cm the morning of the tenth that
the tornado set in, and it hardly began to
abate forty-eight hours after. The ves
sels that were moored in the port, where
they’ -considered themselves in safety,
were wrenched from 'heir anchors,
launched into the open sea, and abandon
ed to the mercy of the tempest. Nor
was the condition of the inhabitants on
shore lees worthy of compassion. In the
following night, the vehemence of tiie
hurricane became yet more extreme;
houses were demolished, trees uprooted,
men and animals tossed hith .:r and thither,
or overwhelmed by the ruins. The ca
pital of tiie island was well nigh razed to a
level with the ground. The mansion of,
the governor, the walls of which were
three feet in thickness, was shaken to its
foundations, and every moment threatened
to crumbled to ruins. Those within had
hastened to barricade the doors and win
dows to resist the whirlwinds; all their ef
forts were of no avail. The doors rent
from -their hinges, the bars and fastenings
forced; and ebasms started in the very
walls. The governor with his familytooki
r-J’uge in the subterraneous vaults; but
they were soon driven from that shelter
by the torrents of water that poured like
a new deluge from the aky They issu
ed theu into the open country, and witli
extreme difficulty and continual peiils re
paired under the eovert of a mound, up
on which the flag-staff was erected;
but that mass being itself rocked by the
excessive luryoftlie wind, the apprehen
sion of being buried under the stores that
was detached from it compelled them again
to remove,and to retire I'romali habitation.
Happily for them the*' held together-, for,
without tne mutual aid they lent each
other, they must all iuveitably have pe
rished
After a long and toilsome march in the
midst oftuins, (hey succeuded in gaining
a baU«*ry, where they stretched them
selves face downward on the ground, be

still a wretched and doubtful asylum, since
those very carriages were continually put
in motion hy the impetuosity of the vorti
cal gus s. Tiie other houses of the city
being less solid, had been pros 1 rated be
fore that of the governor, and llieir un
happy inhabitants wandered as chance d •
reeled dm —'g that merciless night, with
out shelter and without succor. Many
perished under the ruins of their dwell
ings ; others were the victims of the sud
den inundation ■ several were suffocated
in the mire. The thickness of the dark,
ness, the lured fire of the lightning, the
continual peal of the thunder, the hor
rible whistling of the winds and rain, the
doleful cries of the dying, the despondent
moans of those who were unable to sue
cor them, the shr.eks and wailings of
women anti children, alt seemed to an
nounce the destruction of the world. But
the return of day presented to the view
of the survivors a spectacle which the
imagination scarcely dares to depict,
This island, lately so rich, so flourishing,
so covered with enchanting landscapes,
appeared all ofa sudden transformed into
one of those polar regions were an eter
na! winter regions.—Not an edifice left
standing; wrecks and ruins every where
every tree subverted; not an animal
■dive : the earth strewn with their remains,
i ntermingled with those of human beings;
the very surface of the soil appeared no
longer the. same. Not merely to crops
that were in pi aspect, and those already
.fathered, had been devoured by the hur
ricane; the gardens, the fields, those
•u ircesof delight and opulence of the
•olonists, had ceased to exist. In their
p'acca were found deep sand, or sterile
clay,- the enclosures had disappeared,’
the ditches were filled up, the roads cut] |
with deep ravines. The dead amwitmed ,
•o some thousands ; thus much is known,
though .the precise number is not asccr- *
tained. In the effect, besides those whose
fallen hurses became their tombs, how (
many were swept away by the waxes ot
iheswoln sea and by the torrents, resem
bling rivers, which gushed from the i
hills? Much of what e-u iped Hie fury of
the tempest fell a prey to the frantic vi
olcnce of men. As soon as the gates of
•he prisons were hurst, the criminals
sallied forth, and joining the negroes, at
ways prepared f,r nefarious deeds, they
seemed to brave the wrath of heaven ail
put every thing in sack and plunder. And
pci haps the whites woul d h ,vc been all
rqussaureed, and the whole island con
signed to perdition, if general Vang!) m,

a body of regular troops. His cares were
successful in saving a considerable quan
tity of provision, but Ijir which resource
the inhabitants would only have escaped
the ravages of the humcuoo. to be vie
• tns of the no less horrible scnury*e of
famine. Nor should it be- passed over in
silence by a sincere friend of truth and
honorable deeds, the Spanish prisoners of
war, at this lime considerably numerous
in Barbadoes, under the conduct of Dan
Pedro San dago, did every thing that
could be expected of brave and generous
soldiers. Far from profiling of this cala
mitous conjuncture to abuse llieir liberty,
they voluntarily encortered perils of e
very kind to succ >r the unfortunate isl
anders, who warmly acknowledged their
services. The other islands, French as
well as English were not much less de
vastated than B uoadoes. At Jamaica, a
violent earthquake added its horrors to
the rage of the tornado; the sea rose
and overflowed its bounds with such
impetuosity, that the indundation extend
ed to the interior ofthe island
“In consequence ofthe direction ofthe
wind, the effects of tiie sea-flood were
the most destructive in the districts of
Hanover and Westmoreland, While the
inhabitants of Savanin-la-Mer, a conside
rable village of Westmoreland, stood ob
serving witli dismay the extraordinary
swell of the sea, the accumulated surge
broke over them, and in an imtant, m-n,
animals, habitations, every thing w’as car
ried with it into the abyss. Not a vestige
remained of that unhappy town. More
than three hundred persona were lime
swallowed up by the waves. The most
fertile fields were left overspread with a
deep stratum of sterile saud- The most
opulent families were reduced in a mo
ment to-the extreme of indigence. If the
fate of those who found themselves on
shore was deplorable beyond all expres
• sion, the condition, of those wlio were
upon the water was not less to be pitied.
Some of the vessels were dashed upon
s loafs and breakers, oilier foundered in
the open ocean, a few made their way
good into port, hut grievously battered
and damaged. The tempeet was not only
fatal to ships under sail, hut spared not
even those that were at anchor in the
sccure.it havens.’ pp. 176 -180.

The presidential campaign has already
opened in the setith. The artillery of the
press has been put in requisition, jmu! a
missile warfare has been carried ou with
considerable -vivacity. The conflicting
‘ parties, however, have retired; to recruit
their strength, we presume, for a re-newal
of the contest. During this cessation of
hostilities, when, it is reasonable to sup
pose, the effervescence of public feel
ing must be in some degree allayed; and
the mighty champions wf the war are
.' resting on their— quills, smiling defiance
at each other, we shall occasionally re
connoitre tfle belligerents, and watch their
movements.
“ Wko shall be king in Israeli” is the
mighty question which has originated the
portentous coolest.
There are but two rival candidates that
have yet been thrown into the arena—
J. (jt. Adams,and Win. H. Crawford, esqr’s
, Whether the retirement of Mr Mtmnciv
fixed upon, we know not—b it we should
imagine it s->, from the confident and de
cided manner in which the Hon. Secreta
ry and treasurer are introduced to our
, view. Assuming ibis as granted, we shall
attempt to scan the claims of these two
gentlemen, to the honorable distinction of
! President of the United States. Induing
this, wc shall entirely divest ourselves oL
■ local prejudices. On a subject so momen
tous, our views will not be bounded by the
narrow limits of a slate—-they will cm-
J brace the Union! It is a pitiful and des
tructive pride that would, to the detriment
of the public weal, gratify sectional ambi
tion.
What then are the claims of Wm. H.
OswlVml, to the Presidency of the United
States ? We meet tae question on the
very threshold, and answer, none! —ln
what public duty, or service, hat. this gen
tleman distinguished himself, or displayed
a mind rising above the dull level of me
diocrity ? Has he done it as a National
Legislator, or as a Cabinet or Foreign Mi
oister f If he has, it is heyond the ken of
our observation. But let us review his
most prominent official acts—those sets
which have drawn him into notice as a
Statesman, and marked him down as an
enlightened politician, a fugacious diploma
tist, and a deep and clear-headed Financier.
We shall lake first in order, hi* pro jet
for civilizing the Indians by inter-marrying
them with the whiles. As far as merit is
attached to originality, we here concede it
|to the honorable gentleman. It is diffi-
I cult to bring flic mind go look upon this
| amalgamating system, with a becoming
ffpflvtty—but w? will endeavor to ctmtroul
our muscles, aiid approach it with all the
composure we can summon to our aid.—
We have already conceded the originality
of the projet —but the wisdom of the pro
posed measure has been deemed rather
questionable. Did it dcvelope that pro
found knowledge of men and thing's—of
the policy of our government that deep re
march into it* arcan't —or that intimate ac
quaintance with the congenial natures and
appetcnci-s, which so strongly exist be-
Mr«cn savage and civilized men ami wo
men,-as would characterise an c dightened
statesman } —lf, assume book-worm philos
ophers comend, a stale ofnature is more de
si ruble than one of civilization, the projel
may be a very good pro jet —.inasmuch as t,he
chance of (he whiles being savaged by
the lords of the f west, is equally as
certain as that of the lords of the forpst
being civilized hy the whites. This, how
ever, would have to be decided by the re
lative quantum of savage and civilized
blood flowing in the veins of each. To do
this effectually, it must be ascertained by
a kind of inverse proportion—whether
the Indian is more perfect in his savage*
than the while is in his civilized state!
What folly, what infatuation, could cn
gender in the brain of man, a scheme so
absurd, unnatural, and destructive. We
shall stop here for the present, and leave
our readers to reflect, and judge, whether
the projector of such a pic-bald policy as
the amalgamating system, is a lit person to
hold the reins of out national car
His fiscal career, and his mission to
France shall hereafter occupy our alien,

The above paragraph is copied from tin

the “Evening Journal," we are unable,
however aiixiouc, to learn the grounds 01
complaint, entertained by General Jack
son. It is added,
"Having promised to abstain from party
politics, the editors feel that they cannot
give publicity to the important facts their
correspondent communicates, without pas
sing tiie boundary they have prescribed
for themselves ; but if the individuals ap
pointed to office in Florida, are so very ex
ceptionable, both in regard to talents and
character, as the letter writer intimates,
the truth ought to be known to the peo

singular description, indeed, if a man of
Gen. Jackson’s description of character
cannot keep them in order.**

On Thursday afternoon about 4o’clock
as Mr. Samuel Duncan, of Newcastle (an
inspector employ ed in the Custom-lions;
of this port.) was engaged in fishing net''
the entrance of this harbor, he saw the
Sen-Serpent lying asleep on the water,
about a qua ter mile from Hush l»hnd.—-
He at first supposed It to he a large log
flouting on the water; but on approach
mg within about one hundred yards, the
serpent immediately moved with great ra
pidity towards the wesu, and approached
near In Odiornc’s .Point, In bis motion
through the water be slimt ed five bun
cites «t a time, about five pm poises fol
lowing each other in p right line. Mr
was seen distinctly, while going about a
mile and a half When he came near O
dioruc’s Point he turned, and made to.
the shoals; Mr. Duncan was in a wind.-
boat, accompanied by Ids son about 18
years old, and by Mr. Jonathan Vennatd,
who both saw tbe serpent.
About fi o’clock tbe same afternoon, !
Mr. Duncan.was hailed by a man in another j
boat, who directed his attention inwards I
the south, where- he again saw die serpent
about halt a mile distant, approaching the
boat in which Mr. Duncan was. The See
pent came directly towards the boat, and
approached within 4 i feet of the stern;
when he suddenly changed his course, and
went oft' towards Vo k Ledge.
Mr Duncan la confident that the animal’
he saw was entirely different from any
which he ha I ever s en before;—and he
represents hlmse'f to be well acquainted
with the *M> pesrance of the different kinds
of Wbales, Porpoises, and Sharks, is well

saw bad no spuearance of any fins. Flic
first time the serpent was s.-eu, he wash
sight about half an hour, and by the ra
pidity of his in alums appeared to be m
larmed; but the second time, he contin
ned moving in different directions, near
the boat, as much as an hour.
