Two nr three years ago, at a din rtf par
ty in Washington, Mr. C. who had been
a distinguished member of Congress,
sportively claimed the honor of having
been the immediate cause of the late war
with Great Britain. The assertion, how
ever, was defied by one of the ‘‘univer
sal Yankee nation,” who was present
who maintained that the declaration of
war was the consequence of a little
Hhode-Island pig’* having broken into a
gentleman** garden, somewhere near
Providence. The pig perpetrated some
damage, and a law suit was the conse
quence. The late eminent Mr. Burrill
was engaged in the case, and by some
mean* gave offence to the owner of the
pig, who was subsequently chosen to the
Legislature, Mr. Burrill was a candidate
for the Senate of the C. States—but
lost his election by a single vote—the
owner of the pig, though of the same
politics, voting against him. The de
claration of war passed the Senate by a
majority of one vote only, Mr. Bnrrill’s
competitor voting for it; whereas Mr.
Burrill himself would have voted against
it, and thus the war would have been
prevented. Tims it was the pig, and
not Mr. C. who produced the declara
tion of war. Soon after the ditiner ta
ble occurrence, the story of the pig ap
peared in the newsnapeas. The editor
of the Providence Amet iean has now re
vived ami improved it, by tracing the
election qf General Jackson to the pig
aforesaid inasmuch as if it hart not been
fir the war brought about by (be pig,
General Jackson would not have con
quered at New-Grleant, and consequent

rival of a Steam-boat (lor the first time)
at Macon. The boat North-Carolina,
Captain Salter, arrived at Rowland’s
wharf, on Thursday morning last.—
She is in length upwards of one hun
dred feet, and forty feet wide, including
wheel-houses. As the river was rather
low during the fust part of her voyage,
she experienced some difficulties, but less
than could have been anticipated, con
sidering it was the first attempt at navi
gating the river in this way. On Fri
day she made a trip a few miles down
the river, for the gratification of our citi
zens, with whom her decks were crowd
ed. Bhe has been thronged by the
people of this vicinity who either ac
cidentally cue to town, or whose curi
osity prompted them to do so to sec so
rare atf object as a steam-boat.

it can be much improved by we.i diiect

Sik: The innate greatness of thought
oi your mind, seems to me, should be
entitled to a better market.
The great ancient philosophers (C4in
number) who corrected, revised and
translated the MS?, of those great men of
old, styled in the Scriptures the Apostles
of our Saviour—adding, no doubt their
own construction upon many important
points, relevant to a subsequent system
of governing the rising propensity of an
inert-ignorant—sell interested and su
perstition*'-useeptibilitics of human na
ture. of the then and prospective ages,
framed a striking parable in Holy writ,
based upon the sower, who went out to
sow seed —“some fell upon good ground
and some fell upon stoney ground, fce.”
Now, it is rational conclusion in my
estimation of the great beauties and sim
plicity of the fundamental laws of that
High King of glory and wisdom, who
created worlds and framed laws (sitpmi
or to the comprehension of man) for
their government: that M AN. being the
highest planatory object ol his w orks and I
admiration) is doomed to combat the <
ignorance ant} superstition of the world,
and suffer martyrdom when he is called
to do so by that innate greatness and ex
pansive thought, with which yon seeem
to be so abundantly gifted, for the esta
blishment of any new era of discovery
and knowledge, for the general benefit
of his fellow creatures, acd the houor of
his nation-
This position is abundantly-established
in the records and history of the ancients.
Human nature is the same (whether un
der a “ Republican” or irtonarehioi Go
vernment) from the beginning to the end.
But the scriptures tell us that “ all shall
redound to the glory of God.”
Look at our Saviour suffering mnvtyr
dotn to overcome the superstition of the
world—Look at. his Apostles who fol
lowed his example—Look at John Rod
gent at the stake—Rook at Columbus
upwards of 8400 years after the flood,
and the other persecuted heroes w ho fol
lowed in his trail, to seek an asylum,
(from the ignorance and persecution of
Despots.) in the deserts of a Western Sa

The So'tfhem Staph",. —• Sugarhaving
been introduced into general use in the
’ I uited .States, is now considered more
as an article of necessity than luxury,
and front the immense supply that is re
quired for home consumption, it is very
important that our own soil should re
ward the industry of our countrymen bv
the produce of the sugar cane. It was
’with great pleasure that we found, aiter
i an absence of many years from the State
ot Houth-Caiolina. that many Planters
were in earnest in their endeavors to in
troduce this culture into that Slate;
j and* as an evidence of this, tve saw seve
ral loads ol the Cane passing through
the streetsof Charleston, which had been
| grown upon the lands in the vicinity of
i that city. We also saw, on ottr passage
I from Savannah {o Charleston, several
barrels of Seed Cane destined “for Co
lumbia, S. C. which convinced us a de
sire wa prevalent amongst ihp Planters
to abandon the cultivation of the Cotton
altogether, and introduce the Sugar
Cane, as a great southern staple. We
aref.tr from believing that South-Caro-
Ima possesses all the advantages that w ill
attend the cultivation of the article in
Florida, but we consider the prospect
too flattering to be lost sight of, even in
that State, and have no doubt that the
cane w ill be lound to be a more favorable
growth than the Cotton.
Every man who loves his country, will
glory in its prosperity; and nothing can
contribute so much to its solid advance
ment, as the extension of agriculture by
th introduction of such articles as wiii
enable us to supply our domestic wants.

June. The former is sown in furrows,
and reaped in about three months; the

bring its delicate produce to perfection.

Modern F male Fashions. —The pre

surprise the eyes of Dicky Sams, wiki
make tlo'.n -t ire w ith astonishment ?
\V t i are credibly informed, that tiie new
dresses will require twice lire iptantilv
of stuff’that is employed 111 oinking one
within fashion, and that where twelve
y ards of silk were sufficient before, fonr
nil-twenty will now scarcely make a la

on a pucker before, and a hustle behind;

bles of fflm.de attire, which are hid from
the eves ol all save, ilio.-c of the initiated
our wives and dan liters will w hen dres

twice their natural bulk, and present to
the eyes of admiring friends a rotundity
of figure truly aldet manic. The shoul

a grenadier's C.Mt; the sleeves, down to
the elbow, will be completely filled up;
and a hump, under the soft name of a
hintk, placed on every fair creature’s
back, in resemblance of the “envious
mountain,” “ whereon sat defrymitv,”
which King Richard the Third wears in
dramatic exhibition. The truth is, that
some fat, mishapen dowager is the in

we have attempted to describe. Finding

observation, when surrounded by the
s vlph-like forms and fairy shapes of Na

which should destroy all symmetry of

smiling.— Albion.
Common Method of making Vinegar —
To every gallon of water put a pound of
coarse Lisbon sugar let the mixture be
(roiled, and skimmed as long as any scum
arises. Then let it be poured into proper
vessels ; and when it is as cool as freer,
when worked , let a warm toast, rubbed
with yeast, be put to it. Let it w ork about
24 hours and then put it into an iron
hooped cask, fixed either near a constant
fire, or where the summer Sun shines the
greater part of the day : in this situation
it should not he closely stopped up. hut
a tile, or something similar, should be
laid on thebung hole, to keep out the
dust and insects. At the end of about 3
months (something less) it will be clear,
and fit for use, and may lie bottled oil.
The longer it is kept, after it is bottled,
the better it will be. If the vessel contain
ing the liquor is to he exposed to the
sun’s heat the best time to begin making
it, is the month of April.— X. Y. Farm.
Cos spring.— A spot has been discov
ered in the hill side near the I'nvivetsal

which issues constantly, a considerable
volume of inflammable gas, which ap

It burns with great intensity and affords
a very brilliant light. The deeper the
cut the greater ihe quantity of gas evolv
