v Some attempts have lately been made to
put. this town to rights; hut things were
tot bettered by the nocturnal labours of
those reformers. It requires no stretch of
• wit to put rubbish before a shop door; to
takedown a gingerbread-maker’s sign; to
take the wheel* from a hdy’s carriage, and
put them on a silversmith’s shop; and make
noise enough to disturb th* slumbers of ihe
sick, bv beating stirrups for triangles, and
blowing conch shells for French horns.-—•
They fiinr all harmony for want of skill.—-
It is natural for young men to sow their
wild oats; but they shou'd avoid sowing
them among thorns and tbistlts, which
may spring up and spoil their ctops.

A method es wo. ki g pumps, by means
of a capstan, has lately briiyi invented b;
f*. F, Voo’ hees, first Lieut, of die U. S.
ship Washington. Th > machinery L*i ..
jff. , not expensive, ami so constructed as
to admit the common way of working the
pumps with less fatigue than is usual.—
This is a highly important discovery, and
cannot fail to induce every ship owner t
avail himself of the plan for the Use if hi
ajiip. Insurance offices would find ir to be
their interest, and would do an act of hu
manity, were they to insist, as one of the
conditions to insurance, that this Mg !y
unproved plan should be adopted by every
,hip over which they might have any cmi-;
fro!. The line ships, no doubt, will avail
themselves of this as soon as possible
The mod and of the above is in.w on board
the Washington, vvhere it will be subject
to inspection. It is understood that Lieut
Voorhec* intends topiesonthis inveptiop
to the different foreign governments
through the medium of tin ir Ambassadors!

V FURTHER PARTICULARS,
From the Charleston Courier at the Ist inst.
Distressing particulars of this awful vis
itation, are hourly crowding upon us. To
the South and West, the desolation does
not appear to have extended far; but to the
north and cast, its ravages are extensive in
deed.
The city was agitated all j'esterday af
ternoon by a report that t'lc settlements at
North Inlet, the summer residence of the
inhabitants of Gn oigetown and its vicinity,
had been swept away, and that all the in
habitants with one exception only, had per
j ished. After waiting in breathless anxiet y
for sonic hours, messenger ariived just at
idstrk. from Georgetown with intelligence
that ttvo families only had fallen victims,
one being that of Hubert F. Withers Esq
of which himelf aftil one servant only were
saved, li.wing been drifting about nil nigbt
upon a piece of scan ling; the other was
that.of Dr. Myers, whose house fell aud
crushed to death all who were within.—
Mrs. Botsford, the venerable relict of the
clergy man of that name, is also to have per
ished.
It. is added that little or no injury was
sustained “by the gale in Georgetown: some
booses were partially unroofed, fences
blown down, dfc. but no Jives lost, to our in
formants knowledge.
Letters from S James’, (Santee,) state
that on Murphy’* Island, at the entrance of
the Santee, the devastation by the storm is
great beyond conception—vvhule planta
tions have been nearly swept a*vay; and
melancholy to relate, 50 Neg l nes have been
lost bv being drowned or mushed to dost ■
by the filling of houses, on Mrs Horry’s
plantation. Mr. Johnston, the overseer
was the only person saved i.. his family.—
Miss Sarah Rochet was !ik‘wise lost, If

fences and trees blown down, dj'c. h - did
not hear of an y lives being lost at the vil
lage. At Murray’s ferry, the buildings
were mostly blown down, and the roads
strewed with fallen trees.
At Ribbon's Fer'y, the loss is said tii be
very extensive —dwelling houses are uu
rooied, Negro houses blown down, and
crops destroyed.
The b’ dies of seueral fine Horses are

Extract of a let er from a member of’ Cotigress
ia New Hampshire lo another in this stare.
Washington, April 14, 1822.
Dear Sir— ln answer to your enquiries
respecting the system of public scbolls in
New-Hampshire, I would inform you,
that the state is divided into two hundred
and twenty towns, generally of about six
nrles square, with an average population
of eleven hundred inhabitants to each town.
Some have indeed many more, and others
not so many—but the greater number ol
our towns, (a division which ansvurs to
your counties, though much smaller) have
fiom nine to thirteen hundred inhabitants.
Each town is divided into school districts,
generally from six to eight in each town
The school house is erected near the cen
tre of the district; and it seldom happens
that any family lives more than a miie and
a half from the school, while most of the
inhabitants of the district are much nearer.
Every parent in the siate hav-'it, therefore,
iri his power to send his children toschpol,
without separating them,.for a singh- day,
from the paternal roof. This is a meteiial
part of the system, because the mere ex
pense of maintaining their children font
home, at a boarding house, would be an it -
superable objection, with the majority of
the people of every c untry, to giving them
an education which irquired this expense.
Those schools are equally free to all ihe
iolhtbi’aiiis, whether riclror pour; anil are
alike attended by the children bom all
jclasses of the Community. The branches
j taught in them are lie iding, Writing, Ai
lithnvatic, and Englisu Grammar; evey
j thing, in short, which is neces-mry to’ era-
Idle men to conduct reputably am! correctly
the ordinary intercourse and tra sactions
oi life. J’y means of ‘lie primary schools,
education, to ti;, ex ent which I ave men
tioned, may be sum!, without exaggeration
to be -u ‘iv*:. sally (HI” sol through all class-1

th's obvious tvnsoo, that they are equally

i-’ . -uppen of these.primary schools
d.os r.ol uponsuhscriptiou, tuition-fees,
i voluntary . out-, ibntions. but upon an
i . uil tax, rai.-ed md assessed like other
| *ve- on ,tlie per-ou- and property of the
! i.uibit.an's. By a law of the state, a sum
jro t less (hen nniety tmiusuiid dollars, (itid
generally a inudi huger one) is nunually i
raised for this pufipose. J'he amount rais-j
jed in each town depends upon its relative!
! wealth, as ast ertai.ied bv its valuation, ta-j
I ken once in five vea,, for the purpose of;
| apptirtioiHffg die -ti'e tax equitably among j
I the several towns Ninety thousand did-j
jlars, thus raised would give, according to a !
j rough estimate which ! have made, about j
j sixty dollars per ay aunt to each school; j
| and though this sum seems small, it is suf-j
ticienf, with our cheap and simple niotlej
of 4s.Vin<>;, and the low rate of wages, to sup-)
’putt, oo an average of ,;!l our districts, a j
-chool in eacn for at least four months in
Ihe year, or one third of the whole time
this sum, which the towns are)
obliged to raise annually, they have a
rigb to levy, by a gtneral tax on all the!
inhabitants, aay litrilier which [
j they may choose to i up i .e; am) (,ot'n;.g is ;
i more common than for towns to raise a
larger sum than that i .‘qnired bylaw. The
expense of erecting scho and houses is a se
paiate tax. Othr charge's, such as for fu
el, when the school is kept in cold weather,
are olten defrayed by voiunhny subscrip
tions among the more wealthy farine's;
the bijti'tls of the school master is often
given (aim by the same persons, so that the j
tax amounting, perhaps, to rot much !?-
than one hundred and twenty thousand j
doll os per annum, is devoted almost ex
clusively to pay the wages, (if instructors.
Theseuustructors are generally young men
of “respectable characters and competent
knowledge, amounting perhaps to fifteen
hundred in (he whole, stationed in every
part of the -date, each the Centre of instruc
timi aud improvement in his own little,
disfrict, vvhfrehe reides, during the term
of his engagement; the equal attd the com
! pnohm of its most reputable inhabitants.—
‘The school masters are selected by tli**
town officers, (called with us selectmen,)
•JttO'i suiisftictnry evidence that they pos
bit’ qualilicatiims required by law
! t<"’ .:t employment; arid the schools are
Iv > d’ rh and examined two or three times
; : *i tue course of the season, bv a commit
jtee rai-ed for that pur posh by the own.
i It depends upon the vote ol each town
jto determiue how tin* motie’ raised For
i-cnouls shall he distributed among its se
veral districts. In some itss divifled ac
jcording to the’ number of scholars in
i the several districts. Bat the more ge
jneral practice is to expend within each
distiicl, the su r<iis‘’d within toe same.
Though by this distribution a poor di~
tiictiias a sellout for perhaps, not more
than three months, while a rich one enjovs
the same benefit for nine or fen months,
the propriety of giving, to'each district the
full advantage of i's owr. contribution!'.,
whether large or small, serves to remove
complaint, and prevet objections which
might otherwise be made.
I will only add that, besides these pri
mary schools, we have one College and
about thirty Academies in different pads
•f the state, where the higher branch
es. ol knowledge are taught to those who
wish to go beyond these elementary stu
dies taught them in the town schools.

NEVV-ORLKANS, Sept 5.
The press not being free in the new em
pire of Ifutbide, no dependence cast be p!a
ced on the intelligence contained in ihe
journals of that country when they speak
of the condition and temper of the inhabit
ants. It is safer of course to trust to verb
al accounts than to the public papers,;
which mention nothing but what is
dictated by the as el,ts of the emperor.
Several persons lately arrived from
Vera Cru* report that universal discontent |
prevailed; that general Victoria and other 1
chiefs had raised the standard of liberty:)
that large numbers of men had j ined
