IMPORTANT DECISION
It is stated in the Maine Argus, that at ’‘the
late session of the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States, the question which divided the gov
ernment of the Union and the governors of
Massachusetts and Connecticut during the late
war, was finally disposed of. It was tho unan
imous opinion of the seven judges, that tho pre
sident of the United States is the sole and ex
clusive judge whether any of tho exigencies,
such as invasion, insurrection, See. enumerated
in the constitution, have occurred, in which he
is authorized to call out the militia of the sev
eral states. Consequently, neither the gover
nor of a state, nor any of its officers or citizens
can refuse to obey the requisition of the presi
dent when communicated to them in the regu
lar mode.’’
General Neddy Harden (says his organ in
vannah) will not be, at tho next gubornatori-
election, a candidate in opposition to the
indam federalist Forsyth, nor allow his name
be used for such a purpose. That he has al
ii] allowed his name to bo brought forward
bthat design cannot be disputed. It is near-
igasnonilis since one of the Savannah news-
ien, one that it is generally understood he
>ervises, expressed its belief that he would
ve and be supported. It w is moreover un-
rstood in Savannah that he declined a re-c-
lion as senator from Chatham county to the
ite Legislature,with tho solo intent ofgrasping
!*gis of power; and it is reasonable to con-
jdc that he panted for nothing less. Had he
en unambitious, would he have allowed the
rgestion of his creature, perhaps of himself to
ssuncontradicted, until the eleventh hour had
stroyed the last glimmering of success? But
is a man of ready wit. He knows how
make a merit of necessity, and, with tho sem-
ince of free will, to make way for his betters,
hope is extinguished. He is advised
sever not to despond, but urge tho completion
bis ditch: it may pave the way to tho frui-
a of his wishes, and invest him with supreme
ntnand. Yet should it fail in bearing him
the goal of pre-eminence, should neither
at nor canoe from the Alutamaha cleave its
iters, it still may be made profitable to the
ockholders and honorable to the projector, if
heries of catfish and tadpoles be established
oeg its banks.
Mr. Van Buren and and Mr. Cambreling, of
ew York, arrived on the 12th instant at Au

The Southern Recorder, says “the line now

DUTIES OF POST-MASTERS.
In a Circular recently issued by the vigilant
officer at the head of the General Post-Office
Department, communicating the Post-Office
Act, passed at the last session of Congress vVe
observe the following injunctions, which we
publish for general information.
“The strict attention of Post-Masters is in
vited to the following duties:
1. Report every failure of a mail carrier,
with the cause which produced it, if known.
2. Repair mail bags that are unsound, though
it should detain the mail.
3. When packets are mis-sent from a dis
tribution office, first inform the Post-Master of
such office, and if the error be not corrected,
report him to the Post-Master-General.
4. When a loss of a letter mailed, which
contains money, occurs, report it without delay,
with all the circumstances connected with the
loss, none of which or tho loss, sbould bo pub
lished. A publication is sure to prevent a de
tection of the perpetrator.
5. Care should be taken that the name of
an Office at which a letter is mailed, should be
plainly written or stamped on it.
6. Be careful to return, on the routes by
which they were received, all mail bags of eve
ry description, not in use. There is a great
want of attention to this duty, which subjects
the Department to embarrassment and loss.
7. Although instructions have repeatedly
been given not to enclose any communications
in quarterly returns, except such as relate to the
returns, yet resignations, application for blanks
and letters of importance, are often so enclos
ed, and the consequence is that they are not o-
pened until weeks and sometimes months, after
they are received at the General Post-Office.
As all returns are directed to be made at tho
close of each quarter, if Post-Masters would
reflect, they would see that to open" and exam
ine more than six thousand returns, require ma
ny weeks. How, then, can they expect a spefl-
dy answer to any communication enclosed in a
quarterly return? %
8. All applications for blanks at this Office,
should be directed, Oeneral Post-Office, care
of Joseph Burrows.
9. Personal attention to tho duties of his of
fice, by every Post-Master, is indispensable.
10. Printers often complain of tho miscar<
riage of their papers when they have never,
been deposited in a Post-Office, were badly
put up, or misdirected. Post-Masters are held
responsible for such failures, unless they show
tho fault is with the Printers. This may be
easily done, by any Post-Mastor, at whose Of
fice the papers are mailed.
Procure from the.Printer a list of tho pack
ets he sends—arrange this list alphabetically,
and compare tho packets deposited, with it.
If tho packets are insecurely pufup, they
should bo returned to the Printing Office—if
not doposited or misdirected, a comparison
with the list will detect the error.
11. Where an individual places his frank
upon a packet of greater weight than the law
authorizes, the excess should bo d.urged. This
is often omitted. Many articles, such os tho
cuttings of grape vines, fruit trees, &c. are sent
in tho the mail, which shonld be excluded from
it. All such abuses must be corrected, or they
will increase to tho injury of the public.
12. Every carrier of the mail who becomes
intoxicated, having the mail in charge, should
bo dismissed by any Post-Master at whose Of
fice he calls, and another one employed, at tho
expense of tho contr^tor, of which he should
be immediately advised.
Post-Masters at tho end of routes should sec
that the carriers are sworn, and that they bo
specially chargod not to cprry, out of tho mail,
letters, opened or sealed in violation of the law.
13. The energetic co-operation of every
of arduous und responsible duties, and he con
fidently expects a continuance of their exer
tions.”
' •. NAVAL ASYLUM.
In tho vicinity of Philadelphia, tho corner
stone of the Naval Asylum was hid with due
ceremony, irf the presence of the Naval’ Com
missioners and a number of citizens. After the
stone had been properly secured, Commodore
Bainbridge, President of tho Navy Board, de
livered the following address:
“The expense of the building, which is about
to commence under circumstances so auspici
ous, is defrayed out of a fund raised by the
monthly contributions of the officers, seamen,
and marines in the national service. These
contributions commenced in the year 1796,
and of course nearly contemporaneously with
the origin of our naval establishment. By the
fostering care of government, the fund so rais
ed has accumulated to a sum exceeding two
hundred thousand dollars.
“The joint stock is now about to be appro
priated under the direction of government, to
the purpose for which it was originally intend
ed.—A homo will thus be established for the
faithful tar, who has been either worn out or
maimed, in fighting the battle*' of his country
—a comfortable harbor will be secured, where
he may safely moor, and ride out the ebb of
life, from the cares and storms by which bo has
been previously surroundod. He will here
cheerfully and proudly live with his own mess
mates;. with the companions of bis former
sports, toils and dangers, and where they will
animate each other, by recounting tho pleasures
which they enjoyed, the perils which they es
caped, and tho battles which they fought. A
i iicture of happiness will thus.be exhibited, not
ess gratifying to the patriot, than it will b’e
useful, in stimulating the intrepid youth of our
country, to enlist under our naval banner, that
they also may secure similar honors and com
forts for a ‘green old age.’
“I. speak the sentiments of my associates in
the Board of the Naval Commissioners, when
I say, that wo feel the highest satisfaction in
witnessing the deposit of the corner stone of
au institution, which is calculated to secure so
much happiness.
“And I humbly beseech Him who governs
the sea and the lands, to bestow his choicest
benediction on all those,- who may here take
shelter after an honorable ‘march on the
mountain-wave.’ ”
The legislature of Alabama, at its last ses
sion, passed an act to prohibit the importation
of slaves into that state for sale or hire. Tho
act provides, that any person carrying negroes
into that state after tho first day of August next,
for sale or hire, shall bo liable to a fine of one
thousand dollars for each negro so carried into
the state, and imprisonment. It further pro
vides, that persons who carry slaves into the
state for their own use, shall not soil or hire
them within two years after their arrival.

To the Editors of the Edgefield Hive.
Gentlemen: The enclosed Five Dollars
you will please put in your pockets, and the
contents of this Letter into your paper. In
consequence- of tho difficult times now—and.
lorhaps worse ones are coming—I came, legal-
y about two months ago, to this Village; near
to tho seat of Justice, und not far from tho
place of safety. It is not for me to say when I
shall leave here, or how? Whether legally or
morallyl
It is said that the Town of Hamburg will
leave me, like tho Trade or Commerce, has
left Charleston, which I procured for her.
If so, it must be, because I have not paid for
the torn, ttor Charleston paid for tho Trade
or Commerce.
■Savannah speaks of having a great deal of
Cotton, but not enough of snipping—But as
tho Cotton in Hamburg drawtd the Boats; so
will the Cotton in Savannah draw tho Ships.
Perhaps there is an opening for a great
speculation. Tho Court while in Session
here,' last month, passed two orders for the sale
of Hamburg, by tho Sheriff, on tho first Mon
day in June next; and I cannot say how many
more Orders or Injunctions may bo granted or
obtained. But as I have already sold the
Town two or three times morally, should the
Court’ sell it two or threo times more legally,
surely tho purchasers will get good titles, and I,
money enough to pay for it; notwithstanding,
the State of South Carolina receive the Reve
nue, without payment for it.
Respectfully yours, • J

Edgefield Village, S. C. April 5,1827.
Tho people in the western section bf New
York are disgracing themselves by their vio
lence towards the masonic fraternity. In Par
ma, Monroe county, they have had-a meeting,
at which thoy resolved that they believe that
tho Murder, of Morgan was authorized by the
grand chapter of New York; that the fraterni
ty, by tho kidnapping and murder of Morgan,
havo acted counter to the laws of humanity;
that thoy will not patronizo any Editor who
will not publish tho fails relative to the Mor
gan affair. In some other place, they have
resolved not to attend or support any preacher
who is a mason. The. Editor of tho Batavia
Times too, has lost a subscriber, because his
brother is a mason! And yot the grand jury of
Monroe county, before whom tho Morgun af
fair was brought, have adjourned without be
ing able, to attain, any authentic knowledge or
evidence of the fat© of that individual, They
exatninod tho very people who had reported
(lie murder of Morgan, and who had even pre
tended to give the particulars of tho deed.
These persons could stalo nothing but hearsay
in denunciations - of the fraternityi or any'body
else, for a murder which has probably never ta
ken place, and of which nothing is known.

metal have been discovered in this county with

obtaiued 600 dwts. in the space of three weeks.

tained by this company which wo shall publish,

SINGULAR SPRING. »
Amongst the many natural curiosities that
are to be found in tho state of Pennsylvania,
there are perhaps none that bear a more con
spicuous place than tho ebbing and flowing
spring, near tho margin of tho Frankstown
branch of the Juniata river, about 5 miles below
the village of Frankstown, Huntingdon county.
The writer of this article has often witnessed
the flux and reflux of this spring much as three
or four different times in tho course of an hour,
At other times it will run with a strong and
steady cnrretlt for six or eight hours together,
gradually diminishing away and censes running
altogether, so long that tho channel becomes in
a manner dry; then again gradually common
ces running as strong and steady as before. It
is supposed by naturalists to bo occasioned by
a pool or reservoir of water in the heart of the
hill from which it issues, and which is thus ac
tuated by subterraneous wind engendered in
tho bowels of the earth. And indeed this con
clusion appears to bo just, as tho flux at the com
mencement is accompanied by a sensible gur
gling noisQ in the earth, which is undoubtedly
caused by the air forcing its passage out
ward. Hence it is called a natural syphon.—
Tho water of this spring several yeah) ago was
thought to contain medicinal qualities, and a
bath was accordingly fitted up; but tho idea
was found to be fallacious.
Another circumstance which adds to the cu
riosity oPtlris spring, is, that at the distance of
about three or four feet from where this spring
rises, there issues forth another stream, which
runs at all times with a strong and undeviating
enrront, without the least sensible variation
from the irregular fluxions of its neighbor.
whom he left behind last year, aud arc too
happy in the freedom of those wild regions to
think of returning to tho comparative thraldom
of civilized life. It would seem that no at#
tempt had been mado to ascertain the prcciso
latitude of tho point at which general Ashley
crossed the mountains. It is to be hoped that
this will not bo neglected on the next expedi
tion. From all that wo can learn, tho eleva
tion is exceedingly small where the passage of
the mountain was effected—so small as hardly
affect the rate of going qf the caravan, and
forming at the most, -an angle of three degrees,
being two degrees less than the steepest as
cent on the Cumberland road.

WESTERN REGION.
The following interesting account of the practica
bility of the route over the Rocky Mountains, is co
pied from a Zanesville paper:
The recent expedition of general Ashley to
the country west Of tho Rocky Mountains, has
been productive of information on subjects of
no small interest to tho people of tho Union.
It has proved that the overland expeditions, in
largo bodies, may be^mado to that remote re
gion, without the necessity of transporting pro
visions for man or beast. Genoraltfrshloy left
St. Louis in March last and returned in Sep
tember. His return-caravan consisted of up
wards of ono hundred horses and mules, and
more than half the number of men. Ho wont
to.the station of the party lie left beyond the
mountains, when he came in a year ago, and
descendod a river bcliovcd to be tho Buena
ventura, about one hundred and fifty miles
tho Great Ljike.
His return march to St. Louis occupied a
bout sevqnty days, each mulo and horse carry-
ing nearly two hundred pounds of lieavor fur,
tho animals keeping their strength and flesh on
the grass which they found, and without losing
any time on tlus long journey. The mqn al
so found an abundance of food; they say tho:
was no day in'which they could not have sub
sisted a thousand men, and often ten thousand
Buffalo furnished the principal food—water o
the best quality was met with every day. Tho
wholo route lays through a lovol open country,
better for carriages than any turnpike road in
tho United States. 'Wagons and- carriages
could go with ease as far as general Ashley
went, crossing-the Rocky Mountains at the
souree of the north fork at tho Plate, descend-
ing.tho valley of tho Buenaventura towards
tho Pacific .Ocean.
Tho lake which terminated the expedition
westward is a most remarkable body of water,
and heretofore unknown, unless from vague ac
counts. It is estimated to be pne hundred
miles long and sixty or eighty wide. It was
coasted last spring by a party of general Ash
ley’s men in canoes, who were occupied four
and twenty days in making a circuit—They
did not exactly ascertain its outlet, but passed r
place whoro thoy supposed it must havo been
Tho water of this lake Is much saber than
that of tho sen. Some of tho salt obtained
from this water by boiling, has been brought
by general Ashley—he has also brought somo
specimens of rock salt found in a stratum sev
eral feet thick at tho surface of the. ground
with streams of water running through it it
numerous littlo channels. The people in the
mountain's plentifully supply themselves with
salt «t this spot, and carry it home in bags,
