MISCELLANEOUS.
A SOLEMN WARNING TO YOUTH.
Reported for the Vnited States Gazette.
A cate which has excited much attention in
our Storekeepers, perhaps yet more solicitude
among our young men, nml given hirth to sev
crnl publications in our newspapers, was, on
Wednesday Inst, brought before the Mayor’s
Court. The Grand .lory having found a true
hill, end the unfortunate young tnnn being cal
led upou to plead, lie plead “ guilty.” It is not
deemed necessary to detail any particulars of
this case, as they arc sufficiently known to the
public, and stated in the introductory nddress to
the sentence, which was delivered by Aider-
man Bi.nns. The silent attention of all the
Court house, during the delivery of the ad
dress, gavo strong earnest of the impression
which it will make on the minds of all who are
not concerned—in the subject-matter it embra
ces.
“ Having, as the examining and committing
Magistrates, in this case, had belter opportuni
ties of acquiring information ns to the facts, ns
well ns the disposition, feeling and dejiort-
went of the parties, than any other Judge on the
Dench, T feel it my duty—and a painful duty it
is--to submit soino observations. The prison
er is a young man—excepting the case under
consideration of the court--whose general be
havior has been unexceptionable and amiable,
and who, I am well advised when I say, is free
from the vice of intemperance and profnno
swearing. The total nhsence of these vices af-
iorJsn well grounded hope that the abstraction
from the world, about to ho imposed by the sen
tence of the court, will lend to such reflections
ns shall purify his mind from whatever taint of
'ice it has imbibed, and tnnke him hereafter a
useful and respectable member of society. The
young men with whom he has been known to
nssneisio a re, many of them, known lu 1)0 high
ly respectable and unsuspected nfcrime. Their
association with, and confidence in, the unfor
tunate young man now before the court, is men
tioned, tint so much with n view to acquit them
of all participation or knowledge nftho crimes
into which vanity, a love of company, and n
desire to he the head of that company, hailed the
prisoner, ns to show the general estimation in
which lie was held, the walls of lifo in which
he moved,and the height from which ho has
fallen. It is also referred to, that other young
men may shun temptation and guard ngninst
the cultivation of a taste for dress anti ex-
ponso beyond their menus ; a taste which
has frequently, as well as in the present case,
led to the betraying of confidence end the com
mission of crimes, at which tho youth who hot
committed them would have shuddered, but foi
the habits of extrnvnganeo which he had, n!
most imperceptibly, su flu rod to grow upon him,
until they had acquired sufficient strength to
overcome his earlier and belter dispositions,
and lead him from tho paths of pcuco uml vir
tue.
“ Tlio offences of which this young man has
confessed himself guilty, aro such as strike nt
the root of all confidence between the employ
er mid the persons eniployetb-n confidence,
without which, the business of this commer
cial and manufacturing city could not he safely
carried on. You, young man, w ere much con
fided in, notwithstanding tho early period at
which it is now known you commenced yottr
depredations. You resided in the liotiso mill
made one of the fiimily of your employer, mul
iverc wholly unsuspected ofdoing wrong, until
tho quantity, quality, nml variety of new cloth
ing, which was seen almost duily to in
crease and accumulate about you, forced sus
picion upon tlie family. Suspicion being awa
kened, detection became cerinin. It was soon
found that the goods ofy our employer lintl been
freely and frequently taken by you, dishonestly,
from his store, nnd conveyed' to tho Puwnhro
hors; where, under various fidso pretences,
and assumed names, you raised money upon
them; considerable sunn of money, although
those sums were not half w hat tho goods had
cost when first purchased. Having mention
ed the agency ofPawnbrokcrs in these unfor
tunate transactions, nnd referred to tho facili
ties which they afforded in your scheme of plun
dering, I feci tlint I owe it to tho particular
Pawnbrokers, who m o suflerers in this ease, to
stnto that when called upon, they promptly ex
amined their hooks nnd stores, and gave up,
without hesitancy, uot only all tho property
which it wns believed they had in their posses
sion, but other property, to tho recovery of
which neither tin. ow tier nor the officers ofjus-
lice had any safe cluo.
“Large ns were tho sums thus raised, yet
they were not found sufficient to meet your
habits of expense ; you pilfered from the draw
er and appropriated to your own use, motley,
which you received for goods sold in the Etorc
of your employer.
" Believe me, young man, I take no pleasure
in this brief retrospect of your offences, and
would not hazard tho wounding of your feel
ings, by adverting to them, if 1 did not believe
that it is my duty to do so, chat your offences
and the punishment which thus promptly, in
the morning of your days, is inflicted upon you,
lor them, may act as a beacon to warn other
young men to shun the ways and guard against
the dangerous habits in which you liuvu indul
ged, nnd thus preserve themselves ami their
family, llicir friends an ! associates, from the
shame anti sorrow which you have brought
■upon yourself uml those mo&t near and doar to
you.
“In consideration ofyoni youth, your repen
tance, your confessions, and tho recovery of a
very large portion of tho property taken, the
Cuiut havo greatly mitigated the sentence
which, under those circumstances, has been
passed for similar offences. If they could give
ear wholly to their feelings, they would make
y our punishment yet lighter, but their ohliga-
(ions, os guardians of the property of their fol
low citizens, and ns conservators of the public
morals, make it their indispensable duty to
*miik your conduct as of the most reprehensi
ble character, anil, whatever may he tlicircom-
miscrution for your youth and your deep afllic-
tion, in punish, with some severity, your offoti-
s. Tho sentence ut the Court is, that you ho
iiptisoncd at hard labor for twelve calendar
Months, that you ho foil and clothed us the law
diteots, und that you pay tho costs of prosecu
tion, or remain in custody until they aro paid.”

USE Of ARDENT SPIRITS.
The following pithy remarks on the general
e of Ardent Spirits aro from one ofilte best
iddresscson Intemperance, which tho recent
excitement on the subject lias culled forth. It
vas delivered at Ogdensburgh, N. Y. hv Thom
s Denny, Esq. late of this city. If tile state-
nents licie made ere not applicable in their full
extent to the meridian of Now England, they
'oulaiu too milch truth, not to lie often repeat-
d anti strongly urged.
Whatever wo go, at every turn, wo meet
vitli spirituous liquors in all their various forms
ml colors ; so that a man must make nn ell'ort
o keep his mouth shut, or they wilt find their
ay down. 1 hey aro almost as common as
vatcr. Many drink more ofthcni than of clear,
Otd Water. It would ho considered, umongst
line, an Insult, to offer the best cold water in
ic country, unless it was rendered palatable
copious infusion of good stuj'. If they
eto absolutely necessary to the continuance
fhie ; it they were the oil which kept the
"•hole machinery of human affairs in order;
ey coni I hardly he more thoroughly, more
tiiversaliy insinuated, throughout every part
f the great system. They are treated as the
Es.iry tucaiikcf every result; they are used
i a'l "c'caesiuus A person cannot bo born,
married,(or buried, without them. If ho is sick,
he must take them to make him well, if he is
well, he must take them to keep him so, nnd
make him feel better. If lie is cold, tie must take
n little to warm hint; and if too warm, lie must
guard against had effects by pouring n little of
tlio cooling liquid down his throat. If a labor
er turn more work to do than usual, ns n pro
tection ngninst being over fatigued, lie must
tnko a little whiskey ; nnd if he is idle he must
drink a great deal, because he has nothing else
to do. If you wish to build a house, it is tho’t
you cannot get strength and skill enough to
arrange the timbers in their proper places,
without calling in the assistance of whiskey.—
Whiskey,it i* said, vv ill husk more corn, draw
more wood, nnd get more logs to the mill, than
any thing else of the same weight, hulk, nnd
cost. Spend four times os much in nutritious
food ami wholesome drinks, hut your work will
drag on heavily, to the dull old time of “ by the
day, by the day ;” but shake a hottle of whiskey
in the nir, nml bees are not more rapidly attract
ed to a store of honey, thnn men are to this all-
powerful liquid. What would ho thought of a
man who should timlertako to keep a public
house without having a bar well storctl with
choice liquors ? It would hnrdly excite more
nstonislunent, if lie were to commence with
out providing beds. A good bar is thought ns
necessary ton steamboat as a good boiler;
nml many seem to think that you cnnnol get
along in a stage conchy without keeping tip the
steam by treating the driver ut almost every
stopping place.
Amusements lose their power to grntify, un
less they obtain on additional charm from ar
dent spirits ; nml our pleasures become insi
pid, unless they are heightened by some exci
ting beverage A social party would he con
sidered an unsocial thing without them, nnd
tho malingers of ahull would stand a poor
chance for the honor of being rc-choscn,ir they
were not very careful to have every thing nr
ranged as it should bo in this department. Fur
nishing good liquors is considered u test of hos
pitality and good feelings, nml ho who docs it
not is branded as being niggardly nnd mean ;
nnd to he n liberal, generous, good-hearted fel
low, a mnn must always drink freely, ami now
nnd then, on proper occasions, get ns much as
ho ran carry away. Ifonegoos a shooting for
pleasure, lie would almost us soon lenve his pow
der horn ns his hottle it is often said that fish
bite much better, if you have n good dram atone
end of your pole as well as a goml bait nt the
other. The established notioiiR of civility require
flint ho who receives a call from u friend or nc.
quaintance, nt any hour of tho dny, must offer, Sf
lie who makes it most accept,something from
the sideboard ;fyn dinner parly here, without a
table properly set out with a goodly number of
full decanters, would he almost an anomaly in
the history of tho village. Many in this Chris
tian land seem to think ns much of their decan
ters nnd bottles of spirits, ami of keeping them
in order, ns the heathen do of their household
gods, nml pay their devotions to them ns often
Even our luilius sanction nnd pnriuke in the
prevailing practices. Tito Inspiration which
the men obtain from whiskey, runt, brandy, nnd
gin, come to the fairor and gentler sox in the
form of wine, raspberry brnndy, nnnisued cor
dial, and various other delicuto drinks which
they know well how to prepare in their porfec
tiou. And nt their morning calls, w hen they
have already been nt so runny places, where
they Itnvo been prcssingly invited to partake of
the good cheer, that they begin to think about
prudence, they must, at all events still sip a lit
tle, to prove that they duly appreciate the in
tended politeness. On nil public occasions,
these courtesies of life are carried still further.
At military parades and elections, one might
he misled by appenranecs Into the opinion that it
was the object of Homo to provo their courage
and military spirit by showing what valiant nl-
tncks they enn make upon the enemy with
which they are struggling : nnd if they ninli,
overwhelmed by the superior power oftheir
antagonist, whom they darototho conflict ns
long ns they can maintain an attitude of defi-
Hrice, and to wliom titry %vil) m»i yivlri until
they are compelled to bito dust, they may con
sole themselves with tho reflection tlint evon to
fail in a great attempt, is no small meed of
praise.
At our electionsfor civil officers there is no
deficiency ofthoso strong waters ; nnd tho can
ditlnto who w ould not take a glass with his eon
stituents, enjoy their drinking, and replenish
tho busy anil netivo vcssols ns often na their
contents are conducted into the destined recep
tacles, would, I fear, lie provod nt tho polls to
he Inn poorly qunliftotl for tho duties required
of a public servant.
COTTON SEED HULLING MACHINE.
We ha vc since our Inst publication, employ
ed a leisure hour in visiting Fleets’ Mills, at
which one nftho now Machines of Messrs.
Follkt & Smith, for Hulling Cotton Seed, is in
operation ; nnd if the very plain nnd modest
description of those gentlemen needed support,
would most willingly add our feeble testimony
to theirs, of the peculiar merits nnd transcend-
nnt importance of their invention to the South
ern States of this Union. It is, ns far as our
knowledge nf Mechanical Science extends, al
together original—n new principle applied to n
now substance—through which a superabun
dant material used hitherto only aa a manure
for our fields, is at once converted into a valu
able nrticlo of commerce, the demand for which
must conlimio while a tusto fur some of tho
most useful arts, besides many of tho comforts
anil olegnneies of life, endures. Cotton Seed
has been known for years to contain oil -but
lilto the mineral in the unexplored quarry, its
quantity nml kind were uncertain, and some
thing was wanted to clear away the rubbish
with which nature had encumbered it. At
length the desideratum is supplied—the worth
of tho extract is tested l>y actual experiment.—
The Machine now running in the vicinity of
our Town, calculated nt rather more than two
horso power, hulls uml cleans a bushel of ker
nel in about 8 minutes, and tho quantity may
he increased, hy enlarging upon the same prin
ciple, adlihitum. It is ascertained that from n
bushel ufclenn kernel can ho expressed more
than two gallons of oil suitable for (min
ting, lights, nnd other uses, worth at least 50
cents per gallon. Now, estimating the quant),
ty of seed in the Southern Shales, which may
he applied to this purposo, at (1,000,000 bushels,
producing 12,000,000 gallons of oil, at thu rate
just mentioned, there would bo a nett gain of
ti,000,000 at once to the amount of utir produc
tions, without mentioning some other obvious
collateral results. Wluit n prospect here opens
to the view of the Planter! How much more
valuable w ill he his future crops of Cotton than
have been the past? The Hulling Machine
will rank next in importance to the Gin of
Whitney— hut may the reward of its inventors
he difibrent from the one which fell to tho lot
of that ingenious projector !

STRIKING FACT.
The public, debt of the United Stntes has
been so much reduced hy the umuial appropri
ation of$10,000,000, that we may have it in
our power without any cxirunrdinnry diminu
tion of the revenue, to extinguish it in the
course of tho next four or five years. This
a consuinatinn, which is not only ‘ devoutly to
he wished for ’ lint will probably be without n
parallel in the world. A nation without u pub
lic debt is a phenomenon.
Few circumstances arc moro strongly ca -
ciliated to impress themselves upon tho people
of other countries than the stnto of our treas
ury. With tho menus of extinguishing our
whole debt in the course of five years—and
with our national resources entirely divested
of this ineumbrnneo, we shall ho nblo to attain
nn unrivalled degree of prosperity. No won
der that this advantage is so highly estimated
by tho people of Great Britain. Oppressed
with debt, in utter despair of ever cancelling
it,cumbered with taxes for the purpose of
discharging the annual interest; and this dark
fenturc mingling itself with till the specluutions
nf their politicians upon the future condition
of their country, they must look to such a
young and rising and disencumbered country
ns this, with some little astonishment and es
teem. Among tho ciiTiimslnncHS which are
brought forward in a late able article in the
Loudon (lutirtely Review, as affecting the
prosperity nnd destiny of Great Britain, is the
very heavy debt which presses upon all the
resources of that country. It is a sort of incu
bus which preys upon it with the most melan
choly horrors. It is not surprising then, that
such paragraphs, as the following from the
London Times of 9th May, should sometimes
escape from the British press :
‘Wo publish a financial letter of the United
States, which ought not to he read hy any llrii
ish statesman without exciting in him the
most serious feelings. 'I he debt of that Great
Republic is not more thnn 112,000,000 to 114
000.009 sterling—one fourth of one years re
venue of G. Britian, and about one sixtieth of
our national debt
Mark then the singular contrast! Whil
our own debt does not exceed from 55 to 00.-
000,001) dollars, that of G. Britain is made hy
the calculation ofthe Times 10 exceed §.‘1,300,-
000,000—a debt which can scarcely ever he
redeemed with out the aid of the sponge. For
ns soon ns she pay olf u few millions ; her local
situation exposes her to new wars and heavy
expenses. In any given series of years, her
loans exceed hor payments—so, that her
debt grows faster than it is redeemed niul the
possibility of extinguishing it, is the merest
plantom of 8 disordered imagination.

INTEMPERANCE IN GREAT BRITAIN.
From a statement presented to the British
Parliament,during their present session, it ap
pears that the quantity of ardent spirits consu
med in England and Wales, lias increased du
ring the last 20 years from 12,000,000 gallons
to 24,009,000; or 100 per cent, while the increase
of population during the same period, has been
less than 50 per cent. The quantity of mnlt
made now is less than it was iu 1787, ardent
spirits having extensively taken the place of
mult liquor.
VICTORY.
A very large stage coach wns drawn through
the street yesterday afternoon, by three horses
abreast. It wns cnculated to enrry between 20
nnd 30 inside passengers, three on a scat ovor

wheels were like those ofthe Clinrriot of Ju"
gernnin. The body of the vehicle was hand
somely painted and bore upon the panne), the
word, “Victory." *

INDIANS.—Respecting the report of in
tended hostility un tlio part of the Creeks, we havo
nu other information to emnmunicato but whst fol
lows, which we have copied from the Culumbua En
quirer, of the 18th instant.
INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Much alarm has been excited in this place by
some recent movements of a hostile character
among the Indians. Several secret Councils
have been held in the Creek Nation, with a
view, it is believed, of concerting warlike ope
rations against the Frontier Settlements. In
consequence ofthe general apprehension of
danger, some ofour citizens, on Wednesday
last, visited the Creek Agent nt FortMilchell, for
the purpose of obtaining whatever information
lie might possess in relation to the anticipated
difficulties. The following is the information
which lie afforded. The statement is furnish
ed us by one ofthe gentlemen who held the con
versation with him.
" The agent stntcd that there had been sever
al secret councils held by the chiefs ; that he
Imd been informed by several Indinns, that
they the Indians, in these councils, had resol
ved to stay nnd die upon their soil; tlint they
Imd also resolved to kill him the agent and
wnge a war of extermination upon the frontiers,
and assassinate every white west of the Flint
river; and when troops should he sent to fight
them they would retire to the swamps and die
to a man fighting for the soil of their forefa
thers The ngent, not putting sufficient con
fidence in these reports, felt no alnrtn until ati
old, respectable chief, in whom lie Imd always
put the utmost confidence, and who had nlways
manifested for him the greatest friendship,
came to him and told him in confidence that
the report was true, and that ho himself wns a
member ofthe secret council which passed the
aforesaid resolution, nnd that ho voted for it,
but that he had so great a friendship for him
tho agent, that lie could not reconcile it to his
conscience so for io violate his faith as to seo
him sacrificed without apprising him of his
danger. Thus much having heretofore become
public, no injury can accrue from tho repeti
tion of it ; but some other communications
which the chief made to the agent, for pruden-
tml reasons, perhaps had best not ho inude loo
public, ns ihey appertain to the safety of tlio
agent. The chief also stated that deputations
had been sent to the Gliernkuus, the Choctaws
und Sennnoles, in solicit their concurrence it)
sentiment and action with them, the Creeks,
hut that none lint the Chorokees had boon heard
from, nnd that they conctirt il; that Ross, tho
President, wns preparing a talk for his nation,
advising them never to give up their land, but
to kill every white man who crossed the line.”
Front the same gentleman who furnished
the above wo also learn, that Crowell hits writ
ten to the War Depurtmon concerning the af
fair, and tlint he would also have apprised tho
Governor of Georgia of the same, hut that ho
(the Agent) does nnt apprehend immediate dan
ger to the citizens of Georgia ; hy which wo
may infer that no information will be communi
cated to the authorities of this state, by this
humane officer, until immediate danger comes
upon the people. But whether near nt hand
or not, if lie is sincere in his opinion, that Ihe
Indians are meditating war upon the whiten,
we humbly conn ive il to he his duty ns nil of
ficer, and most certainly ns a mau,jjto niako
known the fact to the Governor of Georgia,
and also to the Governor of Alabama. Ho
may possibly have communicated with the lat
ter ; and il he has declined to correspond with
the former, because of a hostility which he muy
have contracted ngninst nur state, iu conse
quence of her efforts to obtain her rights,
which he so actively opposed, we can only snv
that it is high time that such enmities should
give place to belter feelings.
Inasmuch ns the Agent has not thought proper
to disclose to the Governor the indications of
hostility among the Indians, the Colonel of our
county ;U. Lsavis) has acted with praiseworthy
promptness in noinmunienting the Information.
In compliance with the wishes of many of tho
citizens of this place, he forwarded lust Tues
day an express to Mdledgevillc, with n request
that his excellency the Governor would cause
n deposit to he made in this place of public
arms nml ammunition, sufficient for its protec
tion in the event of hostility. At present tho
Town is in u very defenceless situation, not one
man in ten being provided with arm*.
The throats of tho Creaks, as communicated by the
Crcolt Agent, inny hnvo some connection with tho
intelligence communicated hy the correspondent of
tho New York Courier and Enquirer tlint “ It affords
me pleasure to inform you that David Uronrly, tho
faithful st iiidofaligHblo ngent lo the niigiulory Crocks,
hus been ro instated in his station, after a temporary
suspension, through tlio machinations nf
We shall call also the attention of our roadors lo
tho following rommunication, addressed by Colonel
Brearly to the Editors of the Nuliona! Intelligencer.
Gentlemen : I observe in the Intelligen
cer of the 2d inst, an article taken from tlio
Cherokee Phoenix, respecting the country West
of the Mississippi, offered hy the Government
of the U. Stntes for the future residence of tlio
Southern Indinns— pretending to state the fee
lings nnd situation of those Indians who have
emigrated to that country. As it cannot be
presumed that tho publication referred to could
make any deep impression on tho Indians, it
must have been intended lo influence and mis
lead the public mind, hy drawing upon tho
feelings ofour citizens, whose sympathies for
that unfortunate race of fellow creatures it is
well known are increased in proportion to their
dependence on iis. I therefore deem it proper
to offer such information ns my knowledge of
tliojr present condition and ofthe country allot
ted to them enables me to afford.
With respect to the Chickusaws, I have not
learned that any particular location has been
assigned to them ; hut ns it regards tlio Cliero-
kees, Choctaws, and Creeks, the provision
made by the Government cannot fail to render
■ hem, either ns hunters or cultivators of thu
soil,far happier than they noiv arc, or possibly
can be in tlie country now occupied by them;
particularly the Creeks, with whom my inter
course has lioen such us to enable me to know
the disposition of all the emigrants, which ip
without a dissenting voice, in favor oftheir new’
country ; and I assure you it is untrue that any
have expressed a wish to return. On tho con
trary not a single family could he induced, even
at tho oxpense of the Government, to relocate
itself permanently in the old nation. Tlioy are
p’seed immediately beyond the Western Terri
torial idle of Arkansas, bounded oil the West,
anil at no grenr distance, hy tho prairies which
extend to the Rocky Mountains, presenting n
harrier to any further removal. Instead, of
being surrounded hy Wiiito People and delu
ged with whiskey from every quarter, they
hnve hut one channel of intercourse, the rivers
generally coming from the West on which
they are located, affording them the advantage
of water transportation for llie products oftheir
labor or hunts, and of receiving in return hy
steam bonis, directly from New Orleans, Cin
cinnati), Pittsburg, &c. Szc. nil the necessaries
and luxuries oflife which their wants or their
fancies may require. The lands between tho
Territorial line of Arkansas and the Great prai
ries are hy fur the richest I have ever seen,
beautifully undulated, nnd well watered, and
certainly more congenial to the rearing of stock
of every description than any other in tho Uni
ted States. Thus while every inducement to
the arte of husbandry arc increased, and tho
means of living rendered secure aud easy, the
