A'ITUFSD.IY WORJYLYG. JULY 21.
t'rrm the Georgian.
A DAY AT MONTGOMERY.
Messrs. Editors, —A short time since some dis
cussion took on the eligibility of various
places in our neighborhood as summer retreats,in
the event of sickness in town, but principally to
counteract if possible, the propensity of oof citi
zens to deseri their own state. Several fentlo
men who entered warmly into the projcctcxanu
ned and reportod favorably of Camp Jack, in Ef
fingham County, distant twenty-six mile*, a draft
of which 1 believe remains in your News Room. —
Their efforts, however, as far as 1 can fcarn, have
been exerted in vain, the migratory tide setting
northwardly as usual leaving our city as bare and
83 dull, as at any former season. Hearing that
several families had spent the last summer satis
factorily at I determined upon a vi
sit of reconnoissancc which on Saturday, 1 carried
into effect, and now give you the result.
At half past 5, A.M. the morning warm but
pleasant, I set off, and after passing over an ex
cellent road, half the distance through luxuriant
woods almost impervious to the rays of the sun,
at the end of twelve miles arrived at the end of
my journey, without effort, at 7 o’clock The
few houses composing the place are situated on a
Muff on a branch of Ossabaw Sound, in a direct
line probably seven miles from the ocean, the
Raccoon Keys, and an extent of elevated salt
jnarsh intervening. The principal attractions of
the pun.e are sea air, salt water bathing, fishing,
shooting angling. There is a sea breeze every
day; bathing may be enjoyed immediately m
front of the settlement on a sandy bottom; fishing,
by anchoring in the stream, where the capture ot
the delicate Sheep-Head is sure to reward the pa
tience ofthe piscatory amateur ; shooting, either
jji the neighboring foiest or on the adjacent isl
ands, the haunt ot deer ; and sailing, on the river
leading into the sound, (in some places a mile
•vide,) or on the sound itseit. In the immediate
vicinity oifty a few yards front the house under
t } ie wide spreading branches of the rugged moss
hung oaks, are cool seats and shadowy pleasant
walks. - >
Accounts the most favorable were givon me o
Vne health ot the place, it having been for many
years the summer residence of different individ
uals, and ono family has spent fourteen summers
there, enjoying as uninterrupted health as could
be expected in any placo. Indeed, although but
twelve miles from the city, the situation is as ru
ral and retired, as if ten times the distance, offer
ing too all the. advantages of daily communica
tion. There arc doubtless some offsets, one of
which is sand flies, the great plague of onr sea
board, but 1 found none and am told they are but
seldom annoying after the month of May. In fact
if the character given it tor nealth is just, it wants
only society to make it a more pleasant resort
than the far famed Saratoga, which wanting its
ephemeral population, is at best but a desert ot
sand arid pine trees, both of which we have in per
fection at hoine.
A capital house, considering i!s recent opening,
is kept by Mrs. Cohen, a sociable, industrious,
motherly lady, whose chief wish seems to be to
make her visitors comfortable. Fine fish transfer
red from the river to the pot, form a regular dish
together with the delicacies usually found on our
tables in town.
At seven o'clock, after tea, l set off on my re
turn home, where 1 arrived before 9, much pleas
ed with the place and the entertainment, and big
*ith the desire of making it known to all desirous
of enjoying the same.
Paper Machine —Isaac Sanderson, of Milton*
Mass, paper manufacturer, has invented, and se
cured a patent for, anew and highly important
improvement in the cylinder paper machine, for
manufacturing paper, consisting of a counteract
ing horizontal whirl wheel—and a paper forming
roller, by which the paper usually made by ma.
chine is greatly improved in quality, strength and
durability—and several kinds of paper are made,
never before produced by any machine.
an examination of the specification and
drawing as lodged in the patent office of the Uni
ted States, we arc induced to believe that a valu
able discovery in the art of paper making has
been made by tho construction ot the machine.—
It is evident that by means of the improvement,
machine paper may be manufactured equal, if not
superior to that made by hand or tho old method

From the National
Cast of T. Watkins. —Un the opening
rs the Circuit Court yesserday. Chief Jus
tice Cranch delivered the revised opinion
of the coin t on the point on which the court
had overruled the dimmer, and sustained
one of the indictments filie $750 case)--
which point had been re-argued by coun
sel on Saturday last. The review of the
case had not changed the opinion before de
livered, but had confirmed the court in the
unanimous decision that the demurrer he
overruled. [Judge Tlirusion concurring in
with his brethren in their opinion, deliver
ed at length his individual reasons for that
concurrence.]
The demurrer being overruled, the coun
sel h r the prosecution prayed the court for
judgment against tho defendant—-his coun
sel having, by the demurrer, admitted the
facts alleged in the indictment. This mo
tion was opposed by tiie counsel for the pri-’
sonor, and the privilege of a trial demand
ed. Much.discussion followed,and autlioi
ties were road, on the questions whether,
as was contended on nno sidt, the court
was not, after having, on solemn argument
and formal decision,.overruled a demurrer l
i.i h criminal action, bound to £ivc judg- ‘’
*ncm ; or whether, as was maintained on ]
the other side, tho conit had jmt the dis-I
cretion, in criminal as in civil action?, to
permit the defendant to withdraw the de
murrer and go to trial. This being a ques
lion not before decided by this court, and
coming before it unexpectedly, it required
time to consider it and look into the author
ities. The question will prohaqly bo de
cided to-day, and judgment given on the in
dictment, or the parties forthwith proceed
to trial ou the indictment.
The United States vs Ann Royall.—An
other case came up yesterday before the
circuit court, which, by the unusual crowd
that thronged the hall, appeared to excite
much interest Mrs Ann Royal, against
whom a bench warrant was issued last week,
appeared to answer to an indictment found
against her during the term by the Grand
Jury, for certain alleged improprieties of
conduct, denominated in legal phrase—
“common scold,’ 1 “common slanderer, 11
“ brawler/ 1 common nuisance,” &c. The
defendant’- counsel entered a demurrer to
two out of the three counts of the indict
ment, which the counsel for the prosecu
tion agreed to submit to the court without
argument The defendant also asked a
continuance of the trial till ftiday next, on
the ground of the absence of two witnesses
material to her defence. The indulgence
was granted, on tho uwdoretaudine; that if
she was convicted, the expence (growing
out of the repeated attendance of many
witnesses) would bo paid by her. The tiial
was accordingly postponed to Friday. —lb
Alleged Felony. —On F.iiday afternoon
there was no little commotion on the steps
of Washington Hall, in consequence of the
intrusion of Joseph L H.tys among a circle
of gentlemen who were standing there, and
the arrest ot one of the party. The pri
soner demanded tho reason of his arrest,
and those in conversation with him were
much surprised to learn that it was on a
charge of felony. They endeavored to
persuade the officer that he had mistaken
his man; but he knew what he was about,
and in a few moments ushered his new ac
quaintance into the police office The ap
pearance ofthe prisoner was highly respect
able.
The case as it was given in evidence ap
peared as follows*
The prisoner boarded at the Eastern
Hotel in Pearl street, and yesterday mor
ning several of the boarders discovered
that they bad been robbed. A suspicion,
by some means or other, rested upon the
prisoner, and on application being made to
the police, a warrant was issued for his ap
prehension. It was his practice not to
dine at his boarding house, but a. the Wash
ington or National Hotel. He was taken
into a private room, searched, and some of
the lest money found upon his poison
The b Its that were in his purse were recog
nized immediately by one ofthe complain
ants, as the identical ones that ho had en
dorstd but the previous day Under these
circumstances the magistrates had no other
alternative but to take his examination and
sign a commitment to Bridewell.
The connexions of the party, both in
Maryland and this city, are highly respect
able.— IS. F. Jour . Com
Smuggling. —The editor of the Niagara
Gleaner, in his last paper says that several
seizures have recently been made by the
Collector of Niagara. Whiskey appears
to be the chief article attempted to bo run
into Canada. The editor adds that the
temptation to struggle on both sides is
great, so much so, that an honest trader
cannot live, ‘he must smuggle in self de
fence.’
The alarm of fire between 2 and 3 o’-

We have been told with an amusing af
fectation of virtuous feeling, that General
Jackson wi} not countenance defaulters and
that to reform our public offices he was lo

Put there isauotlier part of his system of
reform, the merit of which he and his party
may, in their excessive modesty, be slow
to claim. We will therefore, by way of
interrogatory, give them one and il they
require further instigation, they shall hear
from us again on the subject

Home Industry. — While racking our
brain for a subject wherewith to eke out a
paragraph, we were remiuded by a fiiend,
that an improvement in the costume ot the
fair deserved some notice at our hands.—
We are truly sorry to be unacquainted w ith
the utility of the ornament alluded to, ns
we should be proud to bestow upon it one
of our prettiest commendation. / In the
mean time it may be sufficient to state, that
the most fashionable offenitdes have fallen
in love—with They have put on
stout linen aprons, which the? wear through
the streets, well assured that the emblem of
industry is ever an ornament of honor.—
The best of the improvement is too,that they
have pockets in this new fashioned apron,
to hold, we suppose, the proceeds of their
toil.— Virginian .

Stephen T. Conn
hns invented a metallic capstan, which may
bo seen cm board the steam boat Libertador,
Cant. Trebly, near Rector street wharf,
North River. The barrel of the capstan i
bollotv cylinder cf cast iron, of half an
inch thickness, provided wilhin with four
setts of cogs and four pinions. To each of
the pinions, which are of composition, a
crank is attached, and such is the power of
tho capstan, that one man can raise the an
chor of the Libertador, which weighs 500
pounds.—We raised with little exertion,
200 pounds of iron from the deck of this
vessel, attached to a tackle. The barrel of
tho capstan moves in one direction, while
the brass drum head at its top, moves in an
other. VVe doubt not that the saving of
power by this capstan, and the ease and ra
pidity with which it can be worked, will
recommend it to general use in our merch
ant vessels, and our vessels of war. It will
be well for the .interested to take an early
view of this improved capstan, as the Li
bortador will shortly leave for the river
Magdalena, Colombia, whero site will bo
employed by her owner, Mr. Silas E. Bor
rows, in the navigation of that river, con
nected with the N. York and Canhegena
line of packets, forming a monthly line to

The Massachusetts Horticultural Socie

an interchange of fruits the ensuing autumn,
with the Philadelphia, New York, and Al

the purpose of establishing their syn.ony

perienced by receiving from different cities
fruit trees of a kind already .possessed, but

It is seriously stated, we know not on
what grounds, that Mr. M‘Lane, our new
minister to England, has been instructed to
negotiate with the British Minister, with re
ference to the tariff of 1828—That is, as
we understand it, he is authorised to say,
that the rate of duties will he essentially
modified if Great Britain will admit, on
moderate duties, the grain and flour of the

XATEST FROM BAHIA.
Baltimore, July 13.
The Editor of the Patriot has been fa
vored with the following extract leceived
by die brig Superior, arrived at Portland,
Me.— E it) act of a letter dated
Bahia, 20th May
Since the date of our last, we regret to
say, that no material change or improve
ments have taken place for the diminution
of our stock oftflour lias been inconsidera
ble, the actual consumption not excoeding
1 500 bbls. per month., which leaves in fiist
hands, and in those of speculators, about
2,800 bb!s. The demand, however, is very
far from being animated for at the present
price of 17j|000 f our bakers purchase in
small parcels only, for immediate use, and
speculators holding such large amounts,
from previous purchases, exhibit no dispo
sition to enter into any additional ones at
the price which now governs. We feel
perfectly assured that nothing over our quo
tation could possibly be realized for a car
go. With all other articles of import from
the United States, we continue to be
most amply suppled ; the stocks of which
may be considered heavy, without much
demand, and sales effected with difficulty
at quotations. Sugars are in full supply,
and wo quote them, say Whitts 2,600 Mus
covado, 1,800 per aroba, but as ttie Euro
pean den and for the season, has in a great
degree subsided, we may anticipate seeing
them a few weeks hence at more favorable
prices A greater deficiency in hides, has
rarely if ever been experienced than at this
moment, and they are now so scarce that
it would be difficult to procure th m, and
certainly not at les3 than 120 rs. per lb
The course of exchange so far from impro
ving, has on tho contrary gone lower than
at the date of our last advices. The trans
actions in it by the last packets for England,
were done at 3 4<J. and we fear it wiil not
be sluntly at & better—but that a farther
decline may be expected.

THE UNLUCKY. PRESENT.
An Anecdote .
Mr. L , of C , in L anarkshire, j
(who died within the present century,) was
one of those unhappy persons, who, to use
the words of a well known Scotish adage,
‘can never see green cheese but their een
reels.’ He was extremely covetous, and
that not only of nice articles of food, bin
of many other things which do not general
ly excite the cupidity of the human heart.
The following story is in corroboration of
this assertion. Ruing on a visit one day
at thg house of one of jiis parishioners a
poor lonely, widow, living in a moorland
part of the palish-—Mr. became fas
cinated by the charms of a little cast iron
pot, which happened at the time to be lying
on the hearth, full of potatoes for the poor
old woman’s dinner and that of her chil
dren. He had never in his life seen such a
nice little pot. It was a perfect conceit of
a thing. It was a gem. No pot on earth,
could match it in symmetry. * It was an
object perfectly lovely. ‘Dear sake!* said
the widow quite overpowered by the man’s
commendations of her pot: ‘if ye like the
pot sne weel as a’lhat, I beg ye’ll let me
send it to the manse. It’s a kind o’orru
[superjluoyis] pot wi* us; for we’ve a big
ger ane, that we use oftener, and that s
mair convenient every way for us. Sae
ye’ll just take a present o’r, I’ll send it
ower the morn wi* Jamie, when he gangs
to ihe Schule.* ‘Oh,’ said Mr. L*—
* can by no means permit you to be at so
much trouble. Since you are so good as
to give me the pot, Fil just carry it home
with me in my hand, I’m so much taken
with it, indeed, that 1 would really prefei
carrying it myself.’ After much alterca
tion between the widow and him on this
delicate point of politeness, it was agreed
that he should cany home the pot himself.
Off then he trudged, bearing this curious
little culinary article alternately in his hand
under his arm, as seemed most convenient
to him. Unfortunately the day was waim,

Pressed by the urgency of his distress, tar I
fortunately recollected tiiat there was ; if

across the fields, where, if he could reach it 1
before the period of suffocation, he n-ght I
possibly find relief. Deprived of his eye- 1
sight, he could act only ns a man of feeling, I
and went on ns cautiously as he could, with I
his hat ia his hand. Hdf crawling, half 1
sliding, over ridges, and furrow, ditch and If
hedge, the unhappy man tiavclled with all 11
possible speed as nearly as he cuald g.iess, 9
in tho and irection of the place of refuge. I 1
leave it to the reader to conceive the sur- If
