S.&v'AN'£rAXX aJiSRCCTRY THE THURSDAY MOILYIXG, MAY 14, 1829. Tho last Milledgeville Southern Recorder, {■tatee “from the most unquestionable authority, that there is a good prospect of our soon obtaining possession of the Cherokee lands,” and that “the president has recognised, to its full extent, the doctrines contended for by Georgia. ’ This is saying a good ileal, because the claims set up by some of our politicians have been pretty exten sive, and the arguments by which they have been supported, not altogether clear or convincing. A young man named Elijah W. Smith, a printer, originally of Greenville District, South Carolina, has been living in this place for nearly a twelve month past, was arrested on Mon day last, on a charge of forgery and swindling, and being brought before Justice Chadbourn yes terday morning for examination, was committed to stand trial at the next term of the Superior Court. The instruments charged to have been forged, were orders on different individuals for several articles of clothing. We publish the following communication from a literary correspondent, without pretending to know any thing of the subject whereof he treats: We have not yet read Stephanini's Narrative,but tho literary character of “Omega” entitles his opinions to attention. COMMUNICATED. Mr. Editor: Notwithstanding every precaution, we arc every day imposed upon, by one pietender or another We have just been cleverly hoaxed by the pretended Narrative of J. Stephanini, a native of Alta in Greece, which for open effron tery, has not been excelled of late. The writer is as ignorant of the character of the Turks aud tho Greeks, as he is of the geography of the country he pretends to describe, in page 20, he ga js —“3oo piastres are equal to about 75 dollars United States currency.” Now all the world knows that a piastre and a Spanish dollar are one and the same thing. I will notice but one inoro out of the abundance of absui dities. lie says— “ The Turks smoke 100 pipes of tobacco a day, from a pipe, the bowl of which is firmed of the most delicate amber.” Now who docs not itnow that amber is used as a frankinsence, and that it will not stand the fire? In conclusion, I will barely remark, that the work in question bears every mark of having been manufactured by one who never saw the scenes he describes. OMEGA. Keith Medal. —The Royal Society of Edinburgh have communicated to the Philosophical Society (with a request to have it made extensively known in America) that, “in December, 1820. the trus tees of the estate of the late Alexander Keith placed in the hands of the Royal Society of Edin burgh, the sum of jCGOO sterling, the interest on which shall from November, 1820, form a Biennial Rr ze for the most important discoveries in science, made in any part of the world , but communicated by their author to the Royal Society, and publish ed for the first time in their Transactions.” Ralstoh, May 5. The Gold Region Few persons not residing in the immediate vicinity of the Gold Mines of this state, have any ade quate conception of the extent of the opera tions, which are carried on for procuring the precious metal. In this section of the State, the people talk of the Gold Mines, but they have a very imperfect idea of them, and but little knowledge of the vast’ sums which they annually yield. They have heard of individuals digging tor Gold, but they have taken up the impression, that the same amount of labor, directed with the same zeal to the cultivation of the soil, would create a quantity of produce of great er value in the market. They are not aware that science and skill have been put in requisition, and that a system has been adopted for working the Mims, which en sures regular profits, and renders them ex tensively productive. It is trae, the great desideratum of labor-saving machinery has been but recently put into successful opera* tion, and is confined as yet to water and horse power ; but preparations are making for that of steam, also, which will greatly facilitate the ptocess of obtaining the Gold, and enhance its profits. Already there are several companies trom the North and South engaged in the business, and we have recently heard of the formation of a com pany in Baltimore, with a capital of $1)0 000 for working a Mine in Cabarrus Indeed, monied men from every quarter of the Union, are purchasing up land, for which they pay extravagant prices. Fo reign capitalists have not thought it beneath their attention to visit the Gold Region, for purposes of speculation j one of whom in formed us, a few days since, that he had ijust returned from a visit to the South Ame rican Mines, and that those of North Ca rolina greatly exceed them in richness* In the county of Mecklenburgh alone, it is believed, the amount of Gold dug from the bowels of the earth, in each week, pro duces $2,000. And it is nothing uncom mon for the merchants of the town of Char lotte, when they go on to make their pur chases, to carry with them trom 10 to 40 pounds of the precious metal. It can easi ly be imagined what life and activity is in fused into every department of business, where the only Bank which is required to relieve the wants of the people is a hank of earth. To such of our citizens as have the abil ity and leisure for making excursions, we would recommend a trip to the Gold Coun try. The Superintendents of the Mines are obliging and communicative, the citi zens are proverbial for their hospitality, and the salubrity of the air is equal to any in the world. A few days spent in per sonal examination, will give an individual a more thorough insight into the manner of obtaining the Gold, than volumes of des cription. We are not without hope, from some re cent discoveries, that Gold will yet be found in this County. The first ■discovery of it was made in Cabarrus, and confined to that County for many years. The limits within which it was then suppos ed to be embraced, have continually been enlarging,-as people have been led to search the country for it It has been subsequent ly found in the counties of Rutherford, Burke, Lincoln, Mecklenburgh, Rowan, Anson, Davidson, Montgomery Randolph, Caswell, Guilford, Orange, and very re cently in Chatham. Is this not sufficient to warrant an examination of the more cen tral counties of the State, there being noth* ing in the structure or composition of the Gold Formation to forbid the belief of its existence in them also ?— Register. We copied an article from a London pa per, a few days since, relative to a quarrel that had -taken place at Mahon, between some French and American sailors, in which a midshipman was killed. In the Paris Journal des Debats of the 18th ult. we had the following article on tliis subject, copied from the Aviso de Toulon: “ Scenes, the result of which we cannot but deplore, without betng able to assign any plausible cause, have taken place at Mahon, between the crews of the French and American vessels. The latter several times attacked the crews of the corvette La Pamone, and brig Faune. The Americans always piesented themselves in supeiior numbers, armed with clubs, &c. They at tacked the French even in the houses, and were frequently assembled at Villa Carlos, (two miles from Mahon) and there attacked at different times the sailois attached to the rig Faune, and M. Meynard, a midship man, was killed. The impunity with which they made their first attacks, doubtless en couraged the Americans, and we cannot but regret the conduct of their superiors, who did not take any measures to prevent these quarrels. The conduct of these men has excited the indignation of the inhabitants of Mahon and Villa Carlos, who have assured the authorities of the country, that the French sailors were m no case the aggres sois, and solely acted on the defensive.— Several sailors of both nations were killed, and a great number were seriously wound ed. We refrain, for the present, from ma king such observations as this occurrence iugt>e.-'.s. The French navy has lost one of its most promising officers; the victim of a cowardly assassin. The guilty will no doubt be discovered and punished. The American frigate Java is now in our port, and we understand her commander is about to repair to Paris to explain the affair ” In addition to the above, the Paris Mon iteur states that the guilt)’ lias been deliv ered up to justice. Baltimore, May 2. We are gratified to loam that the Com missioners appointed by the new Charter n'tsse j by the Legislature of this state at ils last session, incorporating a Company to make a Rail Road between this city and the city of Washington, will be called upon at an early day in this month, to fix the time for opening the Books for subscription, with a view of going <*n with tho woi k. The Charter authorises the raising of a capital of .$300,000, the pi iviiege of sub scribing for $50,000 of which is reserved to the state of Maryland, and a similar re servation is made in favor of the U. States for SIOO,OOO, so that the actual capital to be raised by individual subscription is but $350,000. St. Louis, (Missouri,) April 14. Lieutenant Buford, of the United States Topographical Engineers, arrived in town, on Sunday last, on his return from a sur vey of the Rock River and des Moines Rapids. We understand that Lieutenant Buford reports favorably of the practica bility of removing these obstructions to the navigation of the Upper Mississippi. Should this measure, which, in the prepay ratory step, has been so vigorously pur sued, be followed up with corresponding zeal by the General Goverrimeet, wo may expect to have, at no distant day, a free and uninterrupted communication with the important section of country bordering on this river. Exploring Voyages. —We learn from a gentleman recently from Montevideo, that there were at that place, a few months since, three British government vessels des tined to different quarters on scientific voy ages. Two of them had already been ex amining the straits of Magellan ; a third, the Chanticleer, Capt. Foster, was bound to the suth seas, on an experimental voyage The Captain of one of the former had com mitted suicide. On the arrival of the Chanticleer, she was saluted by the Boston sloop of war, then in port, and to the aston ishment of all the salute was returned by one of the vessels from the Magellan straits. The Chanticleer had but two guns on board, which Capt. Foster was particularly order ed by the Admiralty not to fire except in cases of great emergency, as he had on board about 20 chronometers, with other delicate instruments, which would be inju red by the firing of cannon. This of course solved the mystery. Her crew consisted of only twenty men, all told ; she was bound as far south as the ice would permit her to navigate. Capt Foster was a Lieutenant under Capt. Pa-ry in his two last voyages, and is distinguished as a mathematician, & for ardent zeal in scientific pursuits. The British government, ever on the alert, and justly sensible of the value of a key to eve ery sea, probably have it in contemplation to form an establishment some where with in the strafrs of Magellan. These straits possess many fine harbors, (accessible ei ther from the Pacific or the jAtlantic) in which there is an abundance of wood aud water. — N. V Mer. Advertiser . Lyon, the Hydraulic Engine Maker. — On Tuesday last, Mr. Patrick Lyon, hy draulic engine maker, died at Philadelphia, in the 60th 3'eur of his age. This worthy individual had a singular genius for mecha nics His skill was so great, and his re putation so high, that he w, from the fact, involved in injurious suspicions, at one pe riod of his life. Several years ago, the Bank of Pennsylvania was robbed to a considerable amount of property. A great effort was made to discover the perpetra tors. Tiie property of the Bank hail been secured b v bars and bolts and locks of the most curious description. It was well known that Lyon had a wonderful aptitude for in venting ingenious locks. Suspicion imme diately fell upon him. Not a whisper had ever been heard against bis reputation: but it was believed by the Police and Bank officers, that none but Lyon could ever have got through doors and iron chests. Mi. Lyon treated the suspicion with in dignation and contempt. This made the over cunning more confirmed in their opi nions. A great rogue, they thought, always n?a,ves the loudest protestations of his inno cence Besides they knew no man th.it could open so many ingenious locks as Patrick. Surmises, conjectures, and float ing reminiscences were huddled together, or til they actually got Mr L. apprehend ed on suspicion. To the best of our recol lection, he was long imprisoned, then tried, and was, at any rate, triumphantly acquit ted. He then turned round, prosecuted the Bank of Pennsylvania, and recovered a thumping sum in damages. He was a man ot great genius and excentricity. New York Enquirer. From the London Magazine. THE STAGE COACH. “ He bore A paunch of awful bulk before, Which still he had a special care To keep well erainm’d with thrifty fare ; As white pot, butteimilk, and curds, Such as a country house affords! With other victual, which anon, We farther shall dliate upon.” I never, for the life o’me, could under stand why a man of few stone should pay as much for coach hire as one of twenty. — There’s neither reason nor virtue in it; and the stage coach proprietors must be a set of unjust jolterheads not to alter it. The rogues weigh your dead stock ; your lug gage ; and, if it be what they call 4 over weight,”’ they make no scruple of charging you so much a pound for every pound above a certain number of pounds, but they take no account at ail of over weight in living luggage, and will charge just as much for carrying a little whipper snipper of a pas senger, whose entire corpus in full dress, might be tucked into a coach pocket, ns they will for a great over*fed fellow whose emp ty waistcoat would button round a haystack ! i If a man wil! stuff himself till he’s as big as a roasted Manningtree ox with a pudding in his belly, let him do so ; there is no sta tute to the contrary thereof that 1 know of; but I see no reason why he should obtrude his fat upon folk of reasonable compass ; or expect to have bis over weijht of blubber carried about the country for nothing.— Twelve slone is about the average weight of a man ; and if the coach owners were not blockheads and ho ; blind to their own interests, and to common equity, they would establish a scale of fares, bang weighing chairs in their coach offices, and demand so much additional fare upon every stone weight above twelve; reducing the fares to those of less weight in proportion. If they would do that, a man, wedged into a six in side coach between two of these enormous bowel-cases, might take some little comfort to himself in knowing that what he suffers in saves in pocket. And tru ly, your political economists, your Malthu ses and M’Cullochs, are little better than strainers at gnats and swallowers of camels, or they would have proposed some such ie~ , gulation as a check upon over-consumption; it would do more towards saving tlie nation al victual than any of their fine-drawn schemes for stinting day-laborers in brats and potatoes. It wrs our fate to have one of these two legged prize cattle; 4 a certain Franklin in. the wild of Kent,* as a travelling sixth in the Ramsgate and Dover Morning Star U nicorn coach. Wo took him up, or rather he was heaved up, by the coachman and half-a-dozen helpers, at a road side public house, somewhere between Sandwich aid Deal; and when he was up, and had poked forward half way across the inside of the coach, his hips stuck in the door-way, so that he was obliged to turn aside, before he could bring in his rear. At length he was all in; aud down he went, squash! into the only vacant seat, between two venerable spinster-like ladies; his bowed elbows spread'ng over them like a couple of Brob dignagian sausages, and his stupendous ca tastrophe tearing all before it as it subsided. “Mercy on us!” cried one of the spinster like veneiables, 4 I declare you have torn 1 my gown completely out of the gathers /* ‘“Aye, I thought 1 felt something give way,” grunted the mountain of mummy ; and then, instead of sitting up, as they had requested, he leaned slowly from side to side so as to smother each lady in her turn I whilst the other was dragging her torn gown : from beneath his abominable brawn. llow ever, all that being arranged, and room ha ving been made for his legs , as he called ; them, on we went; but we had not gone ! more than a mile, when he grunted 44 Can’t j stand this!’ 44 Stand what, Sir?)ou seem to me to be sitting,’ said somebody. “Can t ride backward , never could , grunted tallow keech, in reply Now it so happened that directly opposite to him sat a fine bouncing dame fat, fair, and fifty, tightly done up in blue braided broadcloth, overhung with a gilt Belcher chain almost big enough for a chain cable, and she no sooner heard his complaint of not being able to stand riding backward, than she offered to change places with him whether from sympathy with his fat, or respect to her own blue broadcloth, did not appear. And how this exchange of places was to be brought about, was the thing ; to the lookers-on it seemed to be al most as easy as turning a couple of bullocks in a watch-box ; but, as the necessity for it was growing more urgent every moment, the at tempt was made. In the first instance they each essayed to rise as ordinary people— but that wouldn’t do ; before the male was half up, down he went again squash! and they repeated the attempt a second time with no better success. “I tell you what, ma’ro,” grunted tallow-keech, 44 you’d bet ter catch hold of my hands.” The lady complied ; and having hooked their fat fin gers together, in the way the bv>ys call butcher s hold, they succeeded in bousing each other up, fairly out of their respective seats; but in the attempt to turn, they mis sed stays, as it were, and swung round hor izontally, across the laps of the rest of us. Here was a pretty predicament! In a mo ment we were all mixed up togethei like so many maggots in a grease pot, all trying to gel the upper hand of each other; the spin sters were shrieking, the bouncing dame squalling, the fat fellow grunting, and all of us sprunting with might and main, to keep our heads above. Luckily, the two fat ones had 44 a kind of alacrity to sinking,”— their ability to sprunt being diminished in exact ratio to their superabundant blubber, so'that we soon got them pretty well under ; but, nevertheless, there is no knowing what the upshot might have been, had not a lean and long necked linen dealer, in the corner, poked bis head out at the window, and implored the coachman to stop.— Coachman, cried he, Coachman, for Hea ven’s sake stop the coach !” Why it was to be stopped for Heavens sake, [ could not make out, unless from a 1 notion that a fat body must needs have a fat soul, and a fear that Heaven might he as much burdened with blubber as we were, for, indeed, by this time, the fat fellow did begin to manifest very purely phisiognomi cal svmtoms of apoplectically ejecting tho immortal tenant of his mortal brawn.— However, the coach did stop, and that right speedily, for the cry was urgent, and both doors being set wide open, we, the four lean ones, as soon as we could disentangle ourselves, got out upon the road, shoe top deep in mud, and the rain raining as though it thought the sooner we were cooled tho better; whilst the two fat ones, assisted by the coachman and others, were getting them selves set upright on their own proper per sonal seats, and this matter achieved we all got in again. Now you would think per* haps, that after such a squabish, the fat man’s appetite would bt sadly damaged and I thought so too, but I was mistaken; for in less than an hour after, I sat down to dinner with him, at one of the inns in Dover, and I II just tell you the manner of his feeding. It vvas a sort of a four shilling ordinary ; plenty of food there was ; and some twenty or thirty feeders ; each with a four ounce lump of bread by the side of his plate.— You’ll take some soup. Sir V 1 said some body to the fat Franklin. Yes, “I’ll take soup ” said he ; and did ; three plates ful 1 , to which he added the aforesaid four ounce lump of bread. ‘You 11 take salmon , Sir V ‘l’ll take salmon’, and som v bread, waiter.’ The plate of bread was handed to him, and having paw’d off three four ounce lumps, he inpulph and two of’em with the ‘Salmon. Shall I send you a fried sole, Sir 1 ‘Yes ; I’ll take fried soles, and some fresh ale, waitei.’ A quart jug of ale was set beside him ; and having ingulph’d a gieat goblet of it, lie sent down a half pound sole, and the fourth lump of bread after the salmon. Here’s a fine brill, Sir ; will you allow me to send you some ? ‘Yes: I’ll take some brill , and some bread , waiter.” The plate of bread was again handed to h m, and hav ing paw’d off four lumps, down went one of them with the brill and another goblet of ale cleared his gullet for the second course Second course :—Roast beef, roast pig, calf's head, and boiled leg of mutton.- Beef, sir? ‘Yes I'll take some beef : champ, champ, champ, chamble, chambie, champ, and gulp, gulp, gulp and there was an end of the beef, and a third goblet of ale.— Some calf’s head, sir ? ‘Yes ; I II take calf's head ; slerrup, slerrup, chamble, chamble, slerrup ; gulp, gulp, gulp.’ A little moro calf’s head, sir? ‘Yes, I’ll take a little more calf's head ; slerrup, slerrup ; bread , waiter ; slerrup, slerrup, chamble, chamble, champ ; gulp, gulp, gulp ; and thus ended the second course. Third course Shall I send you the wing of this goose, sir I ‘Yes, I II take the tving of a goose and he did. Allow mo to seud yon a slice or tw o of the breast, sir ? ‘Yes, I’ll take some of the breast ;’ and he did.’ Some boil’d fowl and oysters, sir ? ‘Yes, I’ll take some boiled jowl and oys ters ; slert up,slerrup, chump, champ, champ, stop waiter ! where are you going with that duck ? I shall take some duck,’ and having finished his boiled fowl and oysters he lu Ip ed himself to the breast and leg of the duck. By this time his eyes stood out like a lobster’s ; the perspiration stood in large drops on his bald front. But still he went on, champ, champ,, champ ; and fearing the pastry would be cleared away before be had finished his duck, he contrived to eat the solid slices from the breast with one side of his mouth, whilst he knawed the beef from the leg with the other ; the drum stick poking out from the corner of his nas ty mouth, till it dropped completely pick and upon his plate. Then gulping down the remainder of his ale, he tossed a glass of brandy after it ; and asked for some dam son tart ; swallowed it in a twinkling; a lit tle custard pudding 1 Yes. Cheese l Yes, and finally a bottle of sherry ! Is it not monstrous, that a fellow like this ; who will cram himself with more food than will serve a dozen moderate men, should ob trude his abominable paunch upon the de cent people and get his over-weight carried about from town to town for nothing. Missionarij Box. — An American priva teer having during the late war, captured in the Irish channel, a sloop from Cardi r gan, laden with coal, the Captain of the privateer entered the cabin to survey his p.ize.
