ißtborities, the following, as proofs of the value
if lie territory: —
Mr Vancouver gives tin's description of tire
cotntry h the latitude of 48 dog. 7 minutes:
“The soil, for tiie most part, is a light sandy
’.nun, in several places of very considerable depth,
ad abundantly rrrxed with decayed vegetables.
Tie vyor and luxuriance of its productions prove
:ttobe a rich fertile mould. This country, retr
ied in an agricultural view, 1 should conceive, i;:
ewhleof high i npraye nent.”
Major A. S. Crooks, an intelligent, cfiiccr of the
F. States. w!k lepeatedly visited the coast, gives
this animating description of ihe vicinity of a
akc? called “Pitt's Cove,” within the limits of ;lie
proposed occupation:
“The C<>vc is a large commodious harbor for a
de?t, the shores most beautiftil; soil (•where the
bears had turned it up in search of roots) ready to
melt in ib own riches; game in absolute profu
aon.”
That country is sufficiently inviting to an en
terprising populafi m—-that country opens a great
aart for the enterprise of commerce and naviga
ton. In past years, a lucrative trado lias been
carried on hv citizens of the United States, with
fiferont puis of that coast. Various articles of
BMittfacture are there exchanged for furs. From

It will be recollected that the Committee on In- *
dian Affairs, reported adversely to the claims of
certaiircitizens of Georgia, for depredations com
mitted by the Creek Indians. Mr. Thompson of I
this State, has moved to reverse the decision of
the Committee,by striking out the word inexpedi
ent, and inserting the word expedient This mo
tion gave rise to a debate, in which Mr. Lumpkin,
and Mr. Carson engaged, advocating the substi
tute proposed—anu were followed by the mover
in support of Ins motion. After which Mr. Wilde
expressed his intention of going into a full inves
tigation of the subject, but as the hour vyas late
a motion from him that the committee should rise.
prevailed. It was presumed that the debate would
‘ *
be resumed on the Oth.
The opinions of Mr. Wirt and Mr. Calhoun, rel
ative to tire allowance of interest, &c. on the
plaints alluded to, were ably combatted by Mr.
Cirson. He happily introduced the opinion of
the Attorney General with regard to the claims
for interest, upon the construction of the awards
of the Emperor of Russia, under the Treaty of
Ghent, as conflicting with the opinions of that
learned jurist in the case of the Georgia claimants
—notwithstanding the cases were strictly anala
gons. Tfio claims of our citizens are founded on
law and justice, and should, as we fiopc they will
lc, amply recognized.
A phrenologist, who was present at one of the
President’s levees, lias taken Mr. Adams’ head in
hand, lie rays, after going thro’ various develop- \
meats, ‘‘The organs of caution are very highly de
veloped, insomuch that they appear in the skull like
the root of horns; and immediately before them are
developed very handsomely the organs of hope
anti conscientiousness. I should suppose Mr. A.
is not given to despondency, rar much tempted to
bred; the eighth commandment.
‘ Were I questioned, to what 13 Mr. Adams in
debted f>r his action a the world? I would
answer, to acquirement, occupation, opportunity,
labor, patience, and firmness, more than to ordin
al intellectual pre-eminence.”
The National Intelligencer, noticing this sub-
I ject, sportively remarks, “This phrenology, by
! the way, if “lliure be any thing in it, is a curious
science; and we should no more venture ourselves
in the company of a knowq iidcpt of it, without a
hat, than in that of a cut-purse without a guard
up o4 our pockets.”
The atAcal. —Miss Coster took her benefit on
Wednesday evening, and a public approbation of
her histrionic talents was evinced by q. crowded
v d fashionable house. The bills announced the
CaJic Spectre — the part of Osmond by a young
gentleni.m of Savannah. Although ably support
ed by the corps, and treated with great forbear
ance by the audience, he entirely failed in the do
liniation of the character, and converted several
scenes of the most touching pathps into broad
farce. It is 1o be legretted that the gentleman
himself should have so widely mistaken his own
powers, and that the Manager should have drawn
so largely on the public expectation.
The Benefit of Mr. De Camp takes place this
evening. The versatile talents and unwearied ex
ertions of this gentleman have contributed in an
eminent degree to the entertainments of tho sea
son. <; I know him well,.*.*. Atio lie .is a fellow
of infinite wit and hum. -Turn out! is the
watch-word.
It would appear from the following article that
the art and science of Breaches ok Promise, are
as well known and estimated among the wild girls
of the forest, a” they are with the veriest coquette
that ever fluttered in a ball room. “Note me rea
dy to be courted again,” is a fine satire upoji that
prostitution of moral feeling and sexual delicacy,
which has been so often and disgustingly exhibit
ed in our courts of justice on similar occasions
The female who estimates her affections by the
mercenary standard of dollars and cents, canqot
even appreciate ‘those connubial joys w hicli spiing
from a pure and ardent passipn. She may love
like Aspasia, but not like Lucreiia.
Breach of Marriage Promise.—A short
time since a case was reported by the Cin
ciuati Chronicle,which shows, that a breach
of the marriage promise is held in detesta
tion among Indians. A young Indian
failed ip hjs atjpntionsto a young and beau
tiful squaw. Sho made complaint to an
old chief who appointed a hearing ortiml.
The lady laid the case before the judge, &
explained the nature of the promise made
to her. Jt consisted of sundry visits to her
fathei’s wigwam, “many little undefinable
itteniiops, * and presents, a bunch of tea
ieis, and seyeral yards of red flannel.-
‘’his was the charge. In defence, the
faithless ftvain denied “the undefioable at-

tentions* in toto. Hehad visited her fa
thers wigwam for the purpose passing
away time, when it was not couvenlertt to
hunt; and had given the feathers and flan
nel from friendly motives and nothing fur
ther. During the latter part of the defence,
the young squayv fainted. The plea was
considered invalid, and the offender sen
tenced to repair the wrong, by giving the
lady “another piece of flannel, a broach
that was then dangling from bis nose, and a
dozen coon, skips/
1 The sentence was no -ooner concluded,
than the squaw sprung upon her feet and
clapping her hands, cried out for joy,.'‘now
me ready to be courted again.”
Five, with loss of life. —A little before 2 o’clock
yesterday morning, says the Charleston Courier
of Monday last, a fire broke out in a small house,
back in a yard, on the south side of Wentworth,
between St. Philip and Coming sts. The weather
being extremely cold, the citizens were rather t&j
dy in assembling, and the fire had got such a start
before the firemen were fairly at work, that throe
or four frame buildings were entirely des
troyed. The buildings consumed, were the pro
perty of St. Philip’s Church, and Mrs, Horry—
they were occupied by persons of color, and we are
sorry to add, that a negro woman, the property of
Ms. Wm. Swift, was burned to death, and a ne
gro man, her husbancj, was also severely burned-
Tlio fire is attributed to the negligence of the wo
man who lossed her life.
Washington, Jan. 5, 1829.
In the Senate, yesterday, the memorial
of sundry citizens of Connecticut, was pre
sented, praying that the practice of trans
porting the L T nited S'ates Mail, on the Sab
bath, he discontinued. The Committee
on Military Affairs, made a report 011 the
memorial of Major General Scot-, cimclud
ing with a recommendation that the prayer
of the memorialist be not granted
Jn the House of Representatives, yester
day, Mr. Min er, concluded his observations
on the condition of slaves and the subject of
slavery in this District. He was succeeded
by Mr. Weems, who opposed his reasoning
in a few brief remarks, when, the hour
having expired, the discussion was again
arrested. The House then proceeded, in
Committee of the hole, on the state of the
Union, lo the consideration of the bill re
lative to the settlement of tlio* Oregon.—
Tim amendment moved by Mr. Taylor,
was negatived by a vote of GO to 59. Mr.
Drayton’s amendment was then modified by
himself, so as to strike out the limitation as
to the number of persons to compose the
party, and also adding a provision that a
military escort should accompany the sur
veyors. It was further amended, on motion
: of Mr. Ingersolf, by adding a section pro
| viding hat the jurisdiction of the U. ‘tates
courts should he extended to the territory,
so ns to embrace all criminals among the
citizens of the United States Jn this shape
the amendment was adopted, in lieu of the
origiqaj bill An attempt was made by Mr.
llamsay, to add a section empovyering the
President to select a part of this region as a
place to winch persons convicted of criminal
i offences might he transported, but the pro
position was not sustained,
i The Committee then took up the hill for
the preservation and lepair of the Cumber
land Road, merely for the purpose of filling
the blanks; having done which, the Com
mittee rose, and reported the hill concern
ng the Oregon Territory as amended and
reported progress on the other hill.

Wo learn from the American of last even
ing, says the N. Y. Gaz. that the estimate
of the amount of duties for the third quar
ter of last year, ending on ih© 30ih Sept
that portion arising in N York was put at
the sum of 3,000,000; and upon the basis
the report of the Secretary of the Treasury
was made. The accounts having now been
made up, it is found that the result is even
more favourable than was assumed ; and
that the actual amount of duties for that
quarter is ; 3,584,599 —thus exceeding the
estimate by more than half a million. The
last quarter, will, it is believed, turn out in
proportion, and thus present the Treasury
to the new Administration, in a most flour
, ishing condition.

From the Norfolk (va.) Beacon 8, Jan. 1829.
Most Diabolical Murder /We learn
from Capt. Turner, of the Matthews Pack
-1 et, that an inquest was held on Sunday last
i over the body of Mrs. Jinn Pritchett , a re
-1 spectable lady, between 45 and 50 years of
1 a ge, wife of Capt. John Pritchett, of New
Point Comfort, found in a dry well on her
, own farm, a short distance fiom her dwel
ling, where she had been thrown by the
murderers after committing the shocking
deed. From the evidence adduced to the
jury, from circumstantial information deriv
ed from the neighbors, and from the sub
sequent confession of the wretches, two
negroes by the name of Henry and Dick,
who have been apprehended and commit
ted to Matthews Jail, as represented to us
by Capt. T. and a neighbor who accom
panied him, we have obtained the follow
ing particulars of this horrid aflair. On
Wednesday, 31st ult. Capt. Pritchett being
from home, the first named of the negroes,
Henrv, a hireling, entered the house and
demanded from Mrs. P. some change which
she had promised him some lime before,
and upou her stating that it was out of her
power to pay any thing until her husband
returned, which would be iu a few days, he
swore he would be paid immediately, and,
on that night, with the assistance of Dick,
who belonged to Capt. P. he brutally mur
dered the old lady, by strangling and suffo
cating her, as was decided by the inquest,
from the marks of violence upon her throat
aqd about her head.—They then threw the
body into a well near the house, which was
not used and almost dry. They next pro
ceeded to rummage the house and trunks in
quest ol money, of which, they say, they
found only three dollars, one of which
Dick has since given up.
The first knowledge of this shocking oc
currence was obtained by Mr. Johnson,
keeper of the Light Ifouse at New Point, !
who sending a message to Mrs. P on New
Year’s day, and learning from her murder
ers, that she was very sifk in bed and af- •
terwards hearing nothing from tier, although
the most friendly intimacy subsisted be
tween their families, suspected that all was
not right, and calling a neighbor, they pro
ceeded to the house. They found it des
erted, and after searching all the apart
ments, without success, Mrs. P. extended
their examination to various parts of the
plantation, when on passing the well spok
en of above, they found the body crammed
into it and covered over The negrpes on
leaving the scene of their butchery, went
to several of the neighbouring houses, and
upon inquiry being made, why they had
left. Mrs. R. on the plantation, they said, by
way of diverting suspicion from them when
the horrid deed should become public, that
she had plenty of company with her for
several sailors had come ashore there, and
demand Ucjijor, provisions, See. swearing
that they would throw her into the well,
if she did not give them what they requit
ed.
These circumstances caused the arrest of
the villains and their commitment, since
which, it is said, they have confessed the
whole matter.
Mail Robbery !—The Cleveland News
Letter, mentions n,i extensive robbery of
the Norwalk post office, in Huron county,
Ohio, and of the method by which the thief
was discovered. A number of gentlemen
of Milan, suspecting the robbery to he com
mitted in the Norwalk post office, put into j
the mail a number of bank notes, enclosed ;
and directed to Sandusky city, via or
walk which not arriving according to di• I
rection, induced an examination at the Nor- ,
walk post office which resulted in the dis— }
poyery of the letter from which the money j
was t ken, and the arrest and commitment
to prispn of A. W. How e, a deputy post
master..
4n unfortunate rencontre took place at !
Clinton, in Hind’s county, (Mis.) on the
sth ult. between Col. James Gibson, and
Mr. Anthony Durden, his brother-in-law,
both of the county of Warren. They
were in attendance on the Chancery court
before which they had a suit depending,
which was decided on the sth in fayor of
Mr. Durden. They had been at variance
for some time, and it had ripened into a
deadly hatred. A few words passed be
tween them at the supper table—rising
simultaneously, they met at the head of the
table, and exchanging a look of desperation,
commenced with sword canes a furious
fight, which continued about five minutes,
when Col. Gibson fell never again to rise.
He received five stabs, three in the abdom
en, ope in the breast, and one under his
chin, passing through his mouth into his
head. He lived but a moment after his fall.
Mr Durden who has been admitted to bail,
was not seriously hurt.— P. G . Corres,
Avery distressing and awful occurrence
took place not long since, at the Iron Works
of Messrs* Baxter and Hicks, in Dickscn
county. By digging out the ore from the
side of a hill, the workmen had made an
excavation of considerable extent, and were
in the habit of prosecuting their labors, in
large numbers, immediately under the im
mense projecting mass. One morning,
while three men, (ope white and two black)
were thus engaged, the whole body gave
way and instantly buried them beneath its
ponderous weight. About 50 men, after
nearly half a ejay’s labor, succeeded in dig
ging out the carcasses, which were com
pletely mashed to pieces Not a whole
bone remained, the heads were pressed in
to thin flat plates, and the bodies retained
scarcely a resemblance to human form. It
is* indeed surprising that so great a number
of persons should have exposed themselves
to so imminent and obvious a danger, and
it is a master of grateful reflection that the
awful catastrophe occurred at a moment
when so few comparatively were in a situa
tion \o be destroyed by it. Had it happen
ed at almost any other hour of the day,
perhaps ten times as many human beings
might have been overwhelmed, and shared
the fate of their unfortnnate companions.
