Journal of Paul Jones.—A copy of this va luable and interesting manuscript, in the best of binding and handsome writing, is now in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It was copied from the original by Paul Jones himself, and presented to Louis XVI. on the 1st of Janu ary, 1786, as will be seen by referring to Jones’s Life, page 353. It is shortly to be published, together with some correspondence relating to our revolutionary war.

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 sta in a steamboat from Savannah. It is id that they will visit Oglethorpe county, to ink whiskey with the ex-secretary and play chess with the family. The Southern Recorder, says “the line now using by tho joint commission of the United ites and this State between - Georgia and irida, will pass, we understand, north of the ! formerly run by the State’s Surveyor, and [ill consequently add to Florida a long slip of , of a mile or two in width, which was iosed to be in Georgia.” he Lafourche Gazette states, that upon sugar plantations of General Wade , on the rivor Mississippi, state of iana, there are about three hundred ef- e hands employed; the quantity ,of sugar !o the present year, is one thousand hogs- tds, weighing each 1280lbs. worth, in New deans, at the ordinary prico of seven cents :r pound, .$89,600. The General, however, lipping his own sugar to tho northern mark- where it bears a high price, estimates his it revenue, this "year, from his Louisiana stations, at one hundred thousand dollars.

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.

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 HENRY SHULTZ. 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. Cold. Several now veins of this precious metal have been discovered in this county with in a short time, and 'the knowing ones say they are rich.

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.

Smith owner, ail with full cargoes groceries. • • .Departed—Boat Towaliga, Rowland owner, with cotton for Darien. » At the distance of a few rods, both streams fall into one channel, and thence bepd their course to tho Juniata river. 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, BOAT< iNEWS, COTTON, in thli place, C 1-2 to 7 1-2 cent*. ,, in Charleston, 8 1 -U to 9 1-2. . „ in Savannah, 6 1-2 to 9 1-2.
