FOR THE SAVANNAH MERCURY. LITERAR Y INTELLIGENCE, EXTRA'. It is understood that the following new works arc now nearly ready for publication, and will be formally announced, in a few weeks: BEAUTIES OF CONSISTENCY— Exemplitied in the history ot parties for the six years. This work is an enormous folio, and iisernnge meut has been committed to Thomas Ritchie, editor of the Richmond Enquirer. All the parti culars relative to its compilation have not trans nired ; but rumor has been bu.<y with its lame Personages of no less distinction than Messrs. Cal houn, Van Buren, Me Duffle, and Hamilton, and other and numerous statesmen of less tact, togeth. ur with the small-fry of many old Crawford press es have been enlisted in its preparation. It is thoroughly radical, notwithstanding the horror formerly evinced, by at least three oi the gentle men above named, to that cabalistic term. It will consist of elegant extracts from files of the Rich, mond Enquirer, New-York Evening Post, Albany Argus, Georgia Journal, Southern Recorder, Sa vannah Georgian, Augusta Constitutionalist ct. ce tera, in which Andrew Jackson is ccmpared to ‘Certain military tyrants of notorious “energy, and his election “deprecated as a curse upon the country,”—intermixed with recent and equally elegant encomiums, from the same sources, upon his remarkable civic virtues all proving his en tire fitness for tire Presidency. The speculations of Ritchie, (somewhat drowsy,) the malicious bitterness of the Post, and the miserable, (irivel lin<r imitations of the Georgia presses, are cniiv cned by occasional sallies from that Prince of s o litical buffoons, M. M. Noam who w.ii! >m occurr ed tiiat Jackson was never thought oi for the Pre sidency until “brought into nomination by tut tgg tag and bob-tai’ oj Pennsylvania. i-i sm i this v, or-v is considereu a pertect anomsly in p u_ tics a literature—a compound ol every thmg discordant in principles, opinions and language “black spirits and white, blue spirits and grey’’ — a streak of lean and a streak of fat—here a truth and there a lie—but ail rendered perfectly harmo mious bv the pure and patriotic combination who .furnished its materials, and icho hate each other less, because tney love office more.

From the Courier.—South Carolina and the Tariff. —The operation of the Tariff, by a h:\ py turn, is actually making its opponents practic liy its advocates. The whole State is now turning its attention to its own resources. “Buy nothing you can make at home,” i3 the earnest advice of (nose resolved to oppose the Tariff. Now, t.’iis is he very principle of the Tariffitseif, and ii it is good fin- a family, it is good for a State, and for a whole Nation. So the American System of buy ing nothing vviiich can be raised and made at borne, will tie illustrated by the prosperity and denty which the non-cons nnption system will in vitably pi and ice, and thus South Carolina will >eco;ne, by her example, me strong supporter of principles, which her book-learned politicians de nounced by their precepts. Obey then tiie laws of the country ; if the}’ are bad, experience and free representation will soon afford an ample remedy, and the very fact of our Planters resolving to raise their own supplies, w ill render the Tariff inoper ative as to them. As an intelligent observer re marked, that when the people about Camden, got but 0 cents for Cotton, during the war, and lived on their own means, they were more out of debt, and nipie independent, than thoy have been since HOMESPUN. T _ From the Detroit Gazette , of Sept. 4. —Gov. Cass returned on Monday irvun Gic;ii Say, in tho steam boat Henry Clay. There arrived also in the 11. C. thirteen U innebago Indians, among whom are the principal chiefs and head men of tne tribe. They are to proceed in a lew weeks to tne city of Washington ou a visit to their “great father.,’ We learn from a gentleman who attended tho council held at Green Bay by Gov. Cass and Col. Menard w .th the Indians, that every thing w r as very satisfactorily conducted. r I ne Indians are perfectly friendly, and too Winueb igoos particu larly are well disposed. The lead country re mains in our possession until all the Indians in terested in its title can be collected for its cession. During the past week, the pleasing intelligence reached us that the posts of Niagara, Fort Grati ot, and Chicago were to be re-established, and that two companies were to be stationed at each. It is aiso stated that a post was to be established at the Portage between the Fox and \\ isconsin rivers. r l his suddmi change of policy has doubt loh resulted from the accurate knowledge which the present Secretary of War and the Major Gen eral of the Army posseses in relation to it. Fire. —Yesterday afternoon about 6 o’clock a fire broke out in a stable occupied by Mr. Josiah Smith back of new Fourth street, below Green street, N. L. The carts and, we believe, the horses, we*e saved, tiie stable and the hay with other proven del w r ere destroyed, ihe Carpenter Shop of Mr. Wiiiiaai ii. Ellis took me and was much injured, a part ofthe finished work was .saved, much lum ber it is stated was destroyed. Several Frame buildings on Fourth street were greatly injured md the rear of houses on Dilwin suffered some.— L. S. Gazette, loth inst. Chamber of Trade. —We understand, that the imporUis and dealers in Dry Goods, in New fork, are about forming an association under the above name. The objects aimed at, are the pro . notion of just and equitable principles iu trade— lie correction of abuses—the protection of the rights, and the‘advancement ofthe interests of the mercantile classes.—The association will be to the Dry Goods interest what tho Chamber of Commerce is to another class of merchants. One object will be, tiie investigation and decision of all .imputes and matters involving a mercantile ques tion, which may be referred to them. Another will be the suggestion of improper practices in the mercantile community. Conducted by men of elevated character, such an association must bo productive of great good in the city, and we hear th v wish success to the laudable undertaking. IFul. There is in certain parts of New-England, a ! custom, eminently honoured in the observance, of sending .to the editors with the notice of a mar riage a generous slice of wedding cake, and in cer tain cases a bottle of wine, to Dcii/juatt the rich wedding token. We mention not these things with any view 7 of extending the custom, but to notice that such has been the revival in the mar riage market, to use a mercantile phrase, that the editor ofa New-Bedford paper has been constrain ed to solicit from friend a recipe lor preserving plum cake through dog-days. By the way,our eastern brethren spell plum (b) cake with a B —it must be Heavy. IMPORTANT. —The following copy of a let ter from the Consul at Campeachy, in Mexico, was handed to the Editor of the IMew-Orleans Courier, for publication, on the 18th August, by the Collector of that port. YVe call tlxo attention of the merchants generally to its contents, deem ing it of great (importance to their interest and tiiat of the Spanish subjects who may in their ca pacity of seamen, be so unfortunate us to go to Mexico.

PERRINE. B. Chew 7 , Esq- Collector of the Port of New Orleans. P. S. By official letters from the Gefe Politico : of this city and the Governor of this state, I am Requested to inform the Masters of American vos ! icls who may arrive here, that they must not per •nit any Spaniard of their crew, on any motive whatever either to land or to visit another vessel, not even for a moment. Masters, therefore, who wish to prevent any pretext for hostility towards themselves or the interests entrusted to their ■ care, w 7 ill avoid having any Spaniards among their ,crews, when bound to this district. Freshet at the East. —The following additional ! particulars of tho late destructive freshet are from the Williamstown [Mass ] Advocate: ■ The range of Taghkanuc mountains pass thro’ the town from north to south, at the basses of which runs a small stream called Green River. This stream has its sources in Hancock and Lanesboiough, and after running in a northerly * direction twelve or fifteen miles, falls into the Hoosuc about 100 ruds below the intersection of the main roads from Greenfield and Pittsfield. The mountain side presents an inclined plane of about, four miles in width and eight or ten in length, down which the water, in times of rain, flows as it. does from the roof of a house; and tho Green River being ttie only outlet for the water, it will readily be perceived, is easily raised even b\ ordinary showers. About twelve o’clock, on Thursday night, the workmen employed- by Luther Bartlett, Esq. [who owns an extensive tanery about a quarter of a mile above the place where the Greenfield road crosses the Green River] were awakened by the noise of a pump, which was put in motion by the water's overflowing the floom and tailing on tho wheel. They immediately alarmed the neighbours, and by tueii united and unremitted | exertions succeeded in keeping the stream in its natural channel, by which tiie gust and saw mills in. ie Jiately above, belonging to Captain Town, as well as those et Mr Bartlett, were pre served from destruction. About seventy rod? further down the stream I was > u-Ht n:ili containing two sets of stones, a eirdti- i s.v.v ■ .id iwoe other machinery. A strong dan was here thrown across the river, but its strength --.as not proot against the swollen and i-npe ums t Trent; and the tvaler overflow ing ite ba Ik’- ve th da n. soon formed a chan nel on tne west side of tiie mill, through which it r i :ed wit a resistless force, carrying before it timber, ear :i. r >cks, and every thing which im peded its c use and at about half past three the mill fell, and was b >me away by the flood. A few rods to tiie north w est ol this mill stood a large brick building, erected about tw 7 o years since’ and occupied partly as a Grist mill and par tly by Mr. Duncan as a machine shop. The earth below its foundaiicn being undermined, all the south east parts of the building fell and disap peared. Near the east end of the last mentined build ing stood a large two story dwelling house, occu pied by Mr. Luther Peabody and his father, with a family of eight persons The family had retired to rest as usual, and were awakened by gome of the neighbors a few 7 minutes before the falling of the brick building. They had barelv iimo %o (lr**,:-* and liiako tlKvr wlot'll the whole house rose on the flood and moved off.— Mr. Rbert VV. Smith, who was endeavouring to save some of the most valuable articles, was in the house at the time; nnd owing to the roar of the wind and torrent, and the crash of falling timbers, he did not perceive his perilous situation, till he was fairly in the centre of the channel, and mo ving at a rapid rate over its rocky bed. No time was to bo lost; and finding the door made fast by tiie springing of the timbers, he jumped through a window, and was carried down the current a mong timber, plank'trees, and the wreck ofthe house, which fell to pieces the moment he was so fortunate as to make his escape. In his pro gress he several times attempted to save himself by catching hold of the bushes which in some pla ces lined the banks of the river, but without ef fect. At length, after being carried about 100 rods, lie succeeded in catching by a tree, which w r as lodged on a small island in the middle of the river; here he held fast till his friends, who had followed on the shore, succeeded in throwing him a rope, by means of which he regained the land, ?tier heiyg in the water about two hours and a half, having received only a few slight contusions on his body and a cut on his wrist which was probably made by the glass when he jumped through the window. It. is impossible to form any correct estimate ofthe damage sustained. Mr. Peabody has suf fered more severely than either of the others; ha ving lost his furniture, clothing, bedding, provis ion, Ac. The buildings, we understand, were the property of Mr Win. B. Shearman, and were probably wortli from $2,000 to s3‘ooo. The in jury done to the new Cotton Factory, by the des truction of its sluiceway is considerable. Thi’ damage done to highways is very great, and seven bridges on the Green River were swept away, besides several small bridges in other parts of the town. j The gardens, fonces, Ac. on tho banks ofthe river, near the buildings destroyed, were com pletely swept away’ earth and all, leaving scarce a wreck beliind- We understand the freshet was felt severely at the south and east, several ofthe bridges on Deer field River Having been carried off, and many small ones in Savoy, Curnmington, Cliarlemont and other towns in the vicinity. FIRES.—A fiie occured yesterday at 12 o’clock, in the back part of the building 186 Cherry st. It was caused by the boil wg over of some oil in a paint shop. Another fire broke out in a bakery in Stanton street, No 216, on Thursday. The damage in both these cases was of no great amount. This morning, between one and two o’- clot k, the ahum was again given,aud prov ed that a fne had taken No. Thomas st. in tire bakehouse of Mr. Jacob Medinger, which with several oilier buildings were destroyed. in all the above cases, our firemen be haved with their wonted promptitude and skill, iu ihe latter, the turn out was gener al, aud their exei tmns merited the highest praise. Great difficulty was experienced in obtaining, water, aud some time elapsed before a line was formed to the North Ri ver. The school house was saved only by great exertions The following we believe to be a cor rect statement wf the property destroyed : —No. 11, occupied by Mi. Hudson ; No. IJ, by Mr Gilbert ; No. 15 occupant un known ; No. 19 Michael Sanford ; No. 21 Abraham Cadmus and Mr. Backner—toge ther with a number of back buildings, to wards Duane street, in ‘the rear of Public School No 10; which, early after the fire broke uui, caught,and the efforts of the fire men were particularly directed to its pre servation. From the Buffalop Journal. Important Army movement We under stand ill t Fort Niagara is immediately to Be garrisoned by four companies o the second regiment of United States inUtfit ry; and report says, that this iort will be made head quarters of the frontier line ot posts. By the Detroit papers we are m formed ot several new arrangements made in the west by the G r ar Department, among which are the re occupancy of i oi t Dearborn (Chicago) and 1 ort Gratiot But the most important measure of the Department we conceive to be, that of establishing anew post, immediately upon the portage between the Fox and Ouis consin rivers, in the country ot the Winne bago Indians. Permission fortiiis was ob tained of the natives, at the late treaty at Green bay The post will be called Fort Winnebago, and is to be garrisoned by two companies of the first regiment of United States* infantry This lort will occupy the enlv intervening land (n portage of but six mile) between the chain of western lakes and the Mississippi river. The position is about central between Prairie du Chien on the Mississippi, and Green Bay, and up on the extreme northern verge of the min ing country. To obtain a cession of this district to the United States, was among the objects to be embraced in the late trea ty at Green B y. The purchase was not effected, but permission was obtained to occupy the mining district, until all the In dians interested in the sale can be collected, at a council which will convene the ensu ing summer, probably at Galena, when there seems little doubt tha arrangement will take place. In the mean time tiie In dians propose to inform themselves ol the numbers of the whites, by actual observa tion ; for which purpose, fifteen of their principal men came to Detroit, in the Clay, on their way to Washington. They pro pose visiting, before they return the sea ports of New England, and many of the Urge interior towns of the country. ‘This, says the Michigan Herald, “will doubtless hive a powerful effect on those aravages, wh > have hitherto considered themselves equal in numbers to tlit- whites, and more brave and warlike. They will soon be con vinced of their error, in regard to the nu merical strength of the people of the Uni ted States, and, of course, less willing to put their bravery to trial.* , Should the proposed treaty, the ensuing summer, result favorably, we trust no time will be lost in rendering perfect the navi gation between the F xand Ouisconsin ri vers, and thus opening the way by the short route of the Eie canal ana ithe lakes, for the flood of emigration which is ready through that channel, to penetrate the for ests of the west. From lute London papers.m Paris, July 19. A letter from Angers, dated the 15th July, contains some curious facts relative i to a convent of female Jesuits, which exists , near that town. —“ For the last two years a | convent of Jrsuitesses, under the title of the ; Sacre Camr y ha> been established at a place ; called iVJaisun Rouge, a quarter of a league t from Angers Sixty thousand francs were paid for the premises ; and building, to a I considerable extent, has been, and is still, carried on there Whence the purchase money came, is not accurately known, hut is strongly suspected that the laXe Ministry I furnished it; but the expenses incident to | the improvements and construction carrying I on there, are in part provided for in the fol lowing manner: Every two months, and (even oftner, it is announced from all thepul j pits in thediocess that there will commence, jon a certain day, a retreat in the convt nt, ’ sometimes for the men, sometimes for the women ; at other times for tiie young girls, and then for their schoolmistresses. W hen the female retreat is announced, you may see crowds of women hastening to the con vent from all the parishes in the diocess, to the number of five or six hundred, though in the present state of the building it is not capable of accommodating more than 400. The abandonment of their houses anu families by these women during the eight days ot tiie retreat gives rise to numberless quarrels between tin m and their husbands To give more importance to this retreat, | during which Jusuit preachers hold forth twice or thrice a day, tfie Bishop frequent ly repairs thither in his pontifical robes, and heads the processions which take place within the waits iff the convent. It is cal culated that each of these retreats brings about 3,000 francs to the convent. With regard to spiritual matters, all the peni tents who present themselves receive a pretty equal portion of pious instructions, benedictions, and indulgencies ; but with regard to temporal matters —viz. bed and board—the case is different; the penitents ar e divided into four classes : the first class pay 25 francs for the eight days of the re treat—the second pays 16 francs-—the third 9 francs—arid the fourth 3 francs. Those of the first class have a well served table, with coffee and liquors, and a separate bed ; each ; those of the second have a very plain dinner, without coffee or liquors, and sleep two in a bed ; those of the third get neith er wine, coffee, nor liquors, and have but a single mattrass for two to sleep on ; whilst the fourth get nothing but a little bread and soup, and sleep on pallets on the grouud. Awful Calamity , —We have been fa- ! vored with the following extract cf a letter from a gentleman in Hartford, to his friend in this city, dated Sunday morning, Sep 7. 1828. ‘ “ You doubtless know something of our freshet, but the half has not been told.—it is now neady at the highest, though still swelling a little. It is a melancholy spec tacle. Probably no calamity so general has occurred since the settlement of the country, bordering on this valley.
