I low diU’eremly we do these things in Amer ica ? ftt"my memory serves mo right, there have been made during the last year three souvenirs, with the help of Mrs. llemaus— (do order that differently next year: I have been twitted ot it twenty limes) —an annual.register, n novel in one volume, hy Neale, three or four thin duodecimos of rhyme, a gurduor** culetl dur, a song hook, ami a “ first part*' for chil dren. is there no talent in America?

Would you search for the other cause of the paucity of American literary nspirimtb? you will find it in the severity of criticism, and the constant nnd ovorweening disposition of iho conduutors of public presses t«» lindtaiilr. Jfn good hook is published, it finds none to praise it ; is a had work puts out, eve ry man that wields a pen is a harsh & unrelen ting commentator upon it. Is a had hook made lu re, the critics cry out, “ There arc beautiful, sublime, wonderful passages in it. Generally it is ,i failure, but let tho author try ngain, and tlu second attempt must prove successful. Thus is the author kept in spirits, and hy these smoothing plants, ns an English humourist terms them, in urged to nn attempt which perhaps places him among tho classical writers. Mr. Cooper’s first hook was “ Precaution !** and had thcieuot been within him a power which like that of Manfred “would not ho controlled,” a mind which knew its own rapacity, the sneers &- jrers of our w itlings, and “stop -watch 1 * critics would have forever silenced tho pen of which we now make boast.

A DIO. * Tit** author of iYlUam. up a sot ofrulo. or regulations for (-overning ihe mines ; which lie alters or repeals at plea [From I he Galena (Fever River) Miners* Journal, of Mur. 7 ] Hen-no thick.— YVp arc happy that it is ii our power to present to our renders the Fourth Number of the writings of \Vi:n no-kiiick.— Although the present Number was written in their nanias thereto, acknowledging themselves hound hy them ; the object of which seems to he the prevention of disputes between individu nls, «nd to secure the Government against waste and fraud. Some of those rules are good— none, perhaps could he better ; there are a few, however, if left out, might produce a more wil ling compliance with others. For the power to make In wh always implies a power to enforce them. Where the latter is lacking, nn exercise of tho former shows a weakness in the law maker. The fu st permanent settlement was at Ga lena, being the most rnntrul point of nnviga tion. In 1825, tho miners had not advanced more than 12 miles ; in 1820, 10 or 18 miles : in 1827 50 miles ; nnd in 1828, they extended 70 or 80 miles, reaching in n north direction its far us tho Ouisconsin ; on which river, two towns are now huild’iig with a view to bring supplies for thnt quarter up that river next season, instead of hauling across the country from Galena, and from Cassvilln nn the (Missis sippi, 40 miles below Prairie du Chien. The Improvements made here are on the temporary plan except in Galena nnd some of the smelting establishments, where the build digs approach towards elegance ami comfort. Tltts people being ull tenants at will, the Govern ment having in no instance parted with the soil. And the Superintendent, not perhaps having the power to do any net which might hereafter even lead to an exercise ofclernency on the part of Congress towards the people who have de veloped tho country, has only given permits to occupy, to those who make improvements either in the town or country, lobe surrendered to tho Government at 30 days notice—nnd com pels nil who obtain these permits to subscribe to those conditions before he will grant them. Nor are the citizens of Galena permitted to get timber for building or for fuel noarer than tlie Islands on.the Mississippi, (distant from 8 to 20 miles by water,) which Islands I apprehend be long to the Site and Fox Indians. Under all these circumstances, better or more substati tinl improvements could hardly have been ex pected A large portion of the miners live in huts of tho most temporary kind. The scarcity of tim her is supplied with sods or turf, and a great many hu’snre built, chimney &. nil, of that art i cle nfew poles to lay the grass & sod on to form tho roof. Some are dug into the hill sides and covered in the same manner. Yet most arc made in the cabin fashion, nnd all seem to he built with an oyo singly to sheltering from wet nnd cold Perhaps n dozen small fields would include all the farming of the country. So far, only The word “ lead ” is no universally substitu ted lor the word “ foarf” both here nnd at tho minos in Missouri, thnt it would probably Ifc next to nn impossibility to niter tlie use of it. From the JVntiortal Journal. In another part of our paper will be found n description of the Mining Country ; which wiJI ho interesting generaly, and may convey iifte- ful information to individuals who may bo dis* posed to become purchasers of any of tho pub lic mines, which, in pursuance of an net of tho last Congress, the President is authorized tu offer for sale. These mines have hitherto been rented out ; the rent being payable in lead : ‘ wi nnd it was found profitable to invest small amounts of capital in working them. The town and port of Golena is situated in the Mine Country, nnd has scarcely ever been beard of any where else. It is situated ncitr the head of the navigation of Fever River, con tiguous to tho Mines, nnd in n situation favora hie for the tanking of roads.

It is more on account of its literary pleasures, that London is to he valued above every other place, than for eating, drinking, display, or amusement. The number of hooks, interesting, useful, readable books, which monthly make their appearance from tho London press, is indeed astonishing. The English arc a reading people. In your city, it is not often that you meet a man going home at night from his toils, soiled with mental treasures; here, upon the closing of tho counting houses at night, the merchants are sure to be seen, winding their way to their happy spouses, and bright sen coal fires, with the Isst now publication, one o “Horace Smith’s oddities,” or Crofton Cro ker’s merry legends, perhaps. Every street is as sure to have its circulating library, or its bookstore, as its butcher's stall, or bake house, nr "green grocery,” And the capitals cm ployed, and the fortunes made in that line of business, would astonish any one who had on ly seen the way we do thing* in America. - Colburn assorts, and no one dnuh's, that he has c.\oineu\fifty thousand pounds sterling th last year, by his publications, Mtua.v has sold 32.000copies of Lord Byron’s Works, the Inst year. Thirteen thousand pounds was laid out upon one of the Annals alone, und eleven, upon another. M* Sparks is here, ami bn.», I am informed, his gr-at work nearly ready for publication. I heard, nt Colburn tlie publisher’s,that Mr. C was in treaty with Mr. S for the copy light. It is understood that it is not to he quite so evten sivo ns at first intended some six or eight vol umes, instead of the twelve first proposed.-- Ho would have found some difficulty in dispo of tho copyright of so elaborate a work notwithstanding the merit of the subject, and his acknowledged ability to do justice to tlie memory and character of our greatest of men The American writer who at this time oceu pies the largest space in the ey»* of the, Britisl ling pnhlie, to use Mr Coleridge’s pot phrase is Doctoi dimming. I must confess I had not noticed half tho beauties of his characters ol Napoleon nnd of Milton till they had been poin ted out by contemporary British Journals.-- You would usk, “ is it possible,” when you set the superlatives annexed to his name hy these systematic contemners of every thing Ameri •an, except cash, cotton, and, perhaps for few days longer, our flour and wheat.

Soon after tho last war, the traders returned to this part of the country, to renew their traffic with the Indians, winch hail been entirely sus pended during the war from their becoming al lies of the British. Lend having advanced in price in tho mean time, nddhiotiul inducements were held out to the Indians to search for that metal ; and, ns was expected, considerable quantities were obtained. The Indian mode f smelting seemed to he tlie only obstacle tu profuahlo trtidu in that article ; to ohviuto which, the trailers unilsrtook the smelting part of tlie business themselves ; hut were only per milted to enjoy the trade a short time: uml, 1 sm apprehensive, were never sufficiently in demnified for losses incident to so sudden un in terdict. Be this as it may, however, the Gen eral Government could no longer hear of so much hidden treasure without enabling more of her citizens to embark in tho pursuit of it.— Accordingly, about the year JS'd!',she look pos session of these mines; forbid all trade with the Indians for lend ; and threw them open to industry and enterprise ; reserving to liei snll n pretty good share, hy tho hy, "provided it came out.” The Government title to these mines is deriv- I hy treaty with the Indians, purchasing fif teen miles square, to ho located on tho Ouibcoii- sin nnd Mississippi, in such trncts ns the l’resi- dcut may think proper. The entire grant was, a- I have been informed, at first intended to he located in one tract, embracing most of the lauds on Fr.vur River; hut now discoveries ol minora! beyond that, induced a dilferent deter mination ; until, at length, a tract of from se venty lo eighty milee square issealtereil over by tho whites in search of mineral. But all the difficulties which might grow out ol’this supposed trespass will, I have no doubt, ho ob viated hy treaty with the Indians next June; when, I am well satisfied, ull the mineral lands this quarter will he purchased. For the Commissioners so managed us to tame nnd pa ly the WmiiebngncN must astonishingly lust summer; nnd when they meet them next seu- snn I mu pretty sure they will he able to " grease ami swallow tlie whole tribe." The first who engaged in mining here were rattier unsuccessful, owing perhaps to want of xpcrionee, or the high prieo of provisions, la bor, &c ; and the detclopemem of the mine- very slow. Up to there were nn! tilt) persons in the mining district; in 18‘Jii about 1000; in 1827. 4000 ; and in 1828, pro liable 10,000. In 1825, sumo alterations were made in the terms of woi king tlie mines, which enabled every pair of miners, or every twu hands, lo occupy a portion of ground without giving hnnd anil security ; and secured to them all the benefit nf any discoveries they might make. These new tortus, copied from the Mis iiri mines, at once enabled the induslriuu and enterprizing, at the risk only of their time and a few incidentals expenses, to examine w liethcr nr no dame fortune hail any thing here in sture for them. The emigration fund which bail been brought upon wheels lo llhiuus and Missouri the few years previous, having almost unobserved, taken wings and returned to the Atlantic cities ; and produce at a low ehh ; was a great incentive for their citizens in partake in any advantages which the mines might oiler ; and to which circumstance may indeed, tie attributable, in a great measure their present prosperity. The terms upon *vliirh tho Government nt this lime permits tho mines to be worked, nre briclly these : Every two persons, or for every two hands, n lot of two hundred yards square is allowed : all the mineral raised must he sold tn a licensed smelter, who gives bond, in *10,000, to pay the Government one tenth of all ihe lead ho may make. Lenses for three years, of half a section of land, is given on hoods of .'?5,(KMi, conditioned similar to those of a smelter. Smelters are allowed suffieient timber to carry ui their works; blit lessees can only uso whin limber there mny he on their half sections. Jf ihere is none, they sell their minornl to a licen sed -inciter. The Huponutcndcot Ims drav'O y loaned us : • wing ' from which wc extract the 1828. Steamboat?.

There being few females hero compared to the number of males, cooking is mostly per formed hy the miners themselves, and ns they hnvo to cat it find little fault w ith the stylo in which the victuals arc served up.

The I III noinns were the first who received tho nppella live, which produced a corresponding nppella tion for the citizens of many other Stntos; hut none so appropriate ns thnt of Eels, given to the emigrants from “ the land of steady habits who have nt any rate to father nil tin* slipper;/ tricks of tho whole nation. These nirknnmos arc bestowed without any desire of producing unfriendly feelings, or of engendering sectional prejudires; hut operate ns a complete satire upon all atich nations, remove all restraint nnd sweeten serial intercourse. Indeed, so rom pletely are the people of these mines divested of sectional nr nntioanl prejudices, & identified in friendship, thnt you tnny often see the natives of Stntcs If Kingdoms the most distort, all united ns puriners in search of mineral. I am enabled In produce nn instance which will show what salma/fundi mixture we ore composed of. A lend [load*] in inv neighborhood, is owned and worked hy five individuals. One is n native of Germany, one of England, one of Ireland, one of France, and the other of Portugal. Thoir religions nre as different ns thoir countries.— One is a Lutheran, one a Protestant, one n Cntholic, one a Methodist, and tlm other a Jow. All are Mechanics, and no two of tho same trade ; two nro Free Masons, nnd to crown nil two opposed each other on tlie Field of Water loo. But this only proves whnt is known al ready, that distinctions do not live in the pure air of Liberty, but sleep in the dark fogs of Eu rope. I might produce many other instances of imilnr partnerships by citizens of different States: nor indeed do I now remember an in stance to support thnt axiom which says “ no two of a trade ran agree hut, on the contrary, scores might lie hnd to prove that the rule does not hold good hero. The prosport nf amassing n fortune in a short time nt a little risk nnd trouble, has drawn here people of almost nil profession-, kindreds and tongues. From the ermined judge to the least limb of the law. The sons of Esciilnpius from the most eminent M. D. to tho lowest ot tlie healing art. The Clergy of various denomina tions ; mol the Military from Mnjnr Generals down to ihe lowest fighting grade. But all these distinctions nro i xrhnngod for tile pick and shovel, which none nro ashamed of, nor feel too proud to use. And strange ns it mny seem lo those at n distance, among sueli a heterogen eous mass, yet such is the fact, thnt taking the miners ns n community, a more friendly, liberal, benevolent, intelligent and patriotic collection of peoplo cannot bo found in nnv country. WEN-NO SIIICK. Pe kn-tol-nk, Oct. 25, 1828. P. H. A friend at Praire du Chein kindly ad monishes me of mi error I h-retofnr© inadver tently made. In speaking of the local ranees of fever, I should have confined them to the Miasis-ppi nnd other streams only so far ns barked up hy thnt river. Tho natives boast of tho health nf tho Ouls cousin, and say “fever does not live in tho ivlutn snndsol the Ouisennsin” above the back water of the Mississippi. Upon m king a cnleutation, I am now satisfied that not more than one-tenth of this tract is covered with timber. i’HE COTTON TREE IN CUBA.—As you approach the plantation La Gordina you discover one of the most beautiful nnd grand objects, that exuberant nnture produces in this favorable situation, to gratify the eye j for it answers no oilier human purpose, - it is neither timber nor fuel. The cotton however, I should not forget, which it yields in a very scanty crop, is sometimes used to stuff n pillow, fine on the Santa Ana Estate towers a hundred feet towards heaven, sixty five of which, ascertain ed hy admeasurement, arc a smooth cylinder, without a limb or knot, twenty-seven and a half feet in rircumferenco six lect from the ground : and near tlie base, where it spreads ilsetfin tho direction oflts principal roots liken giant bra cing himself against the tempest; ijto fluted trunk has been measured, forty six fc,4( nnd n half. Wore there nothing to bo seen hut this noble shaft, with its whits smooth surface, it would excite admiration. Cut nt the height nl-_ ready mentioned, it stretches forth its nrms, ol a Rize for timber, horizontally and symmetri cally and forms n top, for width and grnndueur worthy of the trunk below. It has been moius- u red and found lo cover a diameter of one hun dred and sixty five Let. This immense tree is a world by ilsciC and is peopled hy its million-. The wild pineapple colonizes its lop. Uejuco-, or vines, vegetate on its extended limbs, & run downwnrd to tho earth coiling like ropes on the ground, which the thirsty traveller, when water fails him in this land of rare springs, cuts, and the sweet milky juico proves to him a delightful beverage.— These vines, very possibly, answer ouother purpose of nature, who regards with tender ness her humblest offspring. Tho mice nnd rats and opposuin, who might find it difficult to ascend the plain surface oi the trunk, mayen- stly ascend these natural shrouds, and drink? out of tho cups of the pine?, which stretch their leaves to catch und concentrate the rnimt and dews in those natural reservoirs.—I said this tree nan peopled by its millions. This Is quite within hounds; you may see among its branches the commonwealths of the comajcn, and tvood-louso. They are not peculiar to this tree. Their largo black cities nre attach ed to the body or somo limb, or safely repose in some fork of the treo, whore they nro a Chi nese population, innumerable.—-This insect about the size of a flea, forms a covercrod way of a mortar of its own, down the, trunk to tho ground; nnd ns they have dilferent public, roads, it is prolmlilo thnt come nre for ascen ding, nnd otlicrs for descending, so thnt tho travellers may not incomrnodo each other.— This insect is harmless, nnd their populous nests are carried whole to the poultry yard, where I have Bocn hundreds, young und old, enjoying the repast, with all the glee of turkeys in grasshopper time. Abbot’s Idlers from Cuba- f TbC leoulftf rein in n S pic.) MYSTERIOUS STORY.—A FrencT. paper contains the following : “ A most singular occurrence took place about a fortnight ago at Sarragucminep. A ricli ami pious Indy, being nt church, joined in the service with remarkable fervor. Upon rising from her knees, siio found behind her A letter which announced thnt St. Peter would sup with her that evening, nnd bring tier news from hep husband, who hnd died a short time before. A. sumptuous repast tvus prepared, and in tho eve ning a knock was henrd at tho door. A robust man, having a long henrd, and a largo iron key hanging by his side, entered nnd saluted her with a benignant nir. Tlio Apostlo related to her many glorious things respecting tho other world, niid dwelt particularly upon tlio felicity enjoyed hy her last husband. At length they sat down to table, and the servnnt-girl was or dered to carry tho dishes to tho door oml leave them there, from whence the Indy fetched thofn and placed them on the table. The servant on her side, had nn apostle in tho person of a stout gendarme, who came to pay her nn evening visit. Surprised ut seeing ho much bustlo in thn kitchen, ho inquired tlio cause. “We hnvo a] stranger come to supper,” said the servant, “ who has a very singular appearance. lie hoo n long heard ; hut 1 only caught a glimpse o( him, for my mistress forbids me to entor the room.” The gondarmo followed tho sorvnni to the door, which lie pushed open, and wonl in. “ Who nro you Sir," snid ho abruptly, “ami where is your passport:” “The Saints,” ret plied the stranger, “ have no need of pnstports j I am St. Peter, nnd here is my key.” This gent darnie withdrew, but went out and commuitH rated the adventure to his brigadier. The Inti ter too!; several men with him, nnd went am hid himself in the Indy’s house. Shortly after there was another knock at the door. It ira opened, nml four other Apostles entered. Tin gendarmes immediately seized them, as welt a St. Peter, and, upon searching them, foiim they hail concealed under their clothes dag gers, knives, pistols, key?, and whistles AI the Saints wore humidified ami taken tl Metz, where they were committed to misontt take their [rial.” 1
