An Interesting Sketch of the Oregon Ter
ritory.
BY J. K. town <i;nd, esq.
Maws. Gales <(• Seaton:— As that portion of
our extensive territory west ol the Rocky Moun
tains, known as the Oregon, has within a short
time become a subject of general interest, and
as a bill having for its object the occupation ot
this territory is at present before Congress, I
thought that a lew desultory remarks in regard
to the state of the country, the facilities which
it otters to emigrants, &c., might not be unin
teresting to some of your readers.
Kg It is a remarkable fact that although a large
portion of the countty watered by the Columbia
river has for at least a quarter of a century
been occupied bv the adventurers of Britain,
who have established trading posts on every
eligible site, little comparatively is known re
specting this interesting and fertile region. The
reason I apprehend to be this. Few, excepting
fur traders, men engaged in an absorbing pur
suit; whose sole object is gain, have been indu
ced to visit this part of our continent, and it is
well known that the Hudson’s Bay Company,
which enjoys the monopoly of the fur trade,
has, since its first settlement,' forbidden its offi
cers to publish aught in regard to the country
which might be calculated to beget a desire to
emigrate. It is clealy the interest of the Com
pany to discountenance emigration, andits high
er officers hesitate not to avow this.
Within a few years, several Americans, of
whom the writer of this notice is one, have
crossed the Rocky’ Mountains to the mouth of
the Columbia, with objects entirely unconnect
ed w ith trade or commerce. Mine was the de
sire to see a new country, a love ot adventure
for its own sake, and an enthusiastic fondness
for natural history’.
The party with which I traveled lelt Indepen
dence, Missouri, about the latter part of April;
1831, and arrived at the British fort Vancouver
in September, having performed the whole jour
ney on horseback. From this lime until Octo
ber, 1836, with the exception of the first winter,
which 1 passed at the Sandwich Islands, my re
sidence was in the Territory of Oregon. Dr.
McLaughlin, the chief factor, treated me with
uniform and singular kindness, supplying all
my wants, and furnishing me with every facili
ty" in the prosecution of my plans. This is, I
believe, the uniform character of the superin
tendents of British torts in that country. Tra
vellers, naturalists, and all who are not traders,
are kindly and most hospitably treated, but the
moment the visiter is known to trade a beaver
skin from an Indian, that moment he is ejected
from the community, and all communication be
tween him and the officers ceases. When Cap
tain Wyeth, with his party, arrived at Walla-
Walla fort, on his passage down the Columbia,
h<! was required by the superintendent to pro
mise that during his journey from thence to
Vancouver—3oo miles—he would not buy a
beaver skin; the functionary assuring him that
unless he consented so to bind himself, he would
send a party ahead of him which would I e in
structed to purchase every beaver skin from the
Indians on the route, at a price which he (Wy
eth) could not adbrd to pay. It is a tact, noto
torious in that country, that the honorable com
pany has a sum of money, amounting to sever
al hundred thousand pounds sterling, laid aside
at Vancouver, for the sole purpose of opposing
all who may come to interfere with its monopoly,
by purchasing at exorbitant priees’all the furs in
possession of the Indians, and thus forcing the
settler to come to terms, or driving him from
the country. Il it be an individual who is thus
starved into submission, he then usually’ clears
a piece of land on the Wallammet river, takes
an Indian wife, and purchases furs of the na
tives, which, by previous contract, lie is bound
to sell to the Company’ at an advance which is
fixed by the Governor.
Fort Vancouver, the principal trading post ol
the Oregon, stands on the north bank of the riv
er, about ninety’ miles from its mouth. The lort
consists of several dwellings, storehouses,
workshops, &c., all of frame, arranged together
in a quadrangular form, and surrounded by a
stockade of pine logs, about twenty feet in
height. The fort has no bastions, and contains
no armament. There are, to be sure, lout great
guns frowning in front of the Governor’s man
sion, two long eighteens, and two nine pounders,
but two of these have long been spiked, and the
others are unfit for service.
The rainy season commences here about the
middle of October, and continues until the first
of April. During this period, the weatheris al
most uniformly dull, foggy, or rainy. Some
times rain falls incessantly’ for the space of two
or three weeks. Occasionally, during the win
ter months, there will be a light fall of snow,
and in the winter of 1835- 6, the river was fro
zen over. This intensity of Cold, however, con
tinued but a few days, and was said to be very’
unusual. The general range of the thermome
ter (Fahrenheit’s) during that season, was from
36 to 'lB deg.; but for three or tour days, the mer
cury’ was as low as 25 degrees.
In the vicinity of Fort Vancouver, the cattle
graze during the whole winter; no stabling or
stall-feeding is ever requisite, as the extensive
plains produce the finest and most abundant
crops of excellent prairie grass. Neat cattle,
sheep, and horses are brought from California,
where they can be purchased at very low prices,
and to the visiter at Vancouver, the conclusion
is irresistib, that this district is one of the finest
in the wori 1 for grazing.
In choosinga site tor settlement on the main
river, it is always necessary to bear in mind the
periodical inundations to which the country is
subject, and to choose a spot .sufficiently elevated.
Fort Vancouver itself, although built upon a
high piece of land, and at the distance of six
hundred yards from the common rise of the
tides, is sometimes almost reached by the fresh
ets in early spring. The soil here on both sides
of die river is a rich black loam, the base being
basaltic rock. There is not usually a great
depth of earth, so that it is probable the crops
might, in a few years, exhaust the soil, but the
land is abundant, and the agriculturist is there
fore not compelled to wait for its renovation.
The face ot the country from Fort Georgia
(Astoria) to Vancouver—a distance of eighty
miles—is very much of a uniform character,
consisting of alluvial meadows along the river
banks, alternating with forests of pine, oak, &c.;
while behind are extensive plains, some ol
which receive estuaries of the rivers, while oth
ers are watered by lakes or ponds, many of
them so large as to remain tilled during the
whole summer. The pine forests are very ex
tensive, the trees being of great size, and the
timber extraordinarily beautiful, straight, and
free from knots. All the timber of the genus
pinus, of which there are a great number of spe
cies, is gigantic, when compared with our trees
in this part of the world, but occasionally’ one is
met with huge almost beyond comparison. 1
measured, with Dr. Gardner, surgeon of the
fort, a'pine of the species Dougl/isu, which had
been prostrated by’ the wind. Its height was
above 200 feet, and its circumference 45 feet!
Large as was this specimen, its dimensions are
much exceeded by one on the Umptqua river,
measured by’ the late Mr. David Douglass; the
height of this tree was, 1 think, nearly 300 feet,
and its circumference 56 feet I —The cones of
this pine, according toMr. Douglass, were from
12 to 15 inches in length, resembling in form
and size sugar loaves. Oak timber, of rations
kinds, and of the first quality, is abundant along
the river, as well as the button-wood, (jdntanus
nccidenialis,') balsam poplar, (popiilus balsaniife
ra,) (liquidamber slyradifhui,) beach and many
other useful kinds, but no hickory or walnut.
The Governor ot Fort Vancouver, who is an
active agriculturist, has exerted himself for
several years in raising whatever appears to be
adapted to the soil, and I can therefore only
make known the results ol his experiments so
far as 1 had an opportunity ol observing them.
Wheat, rye, barley, peas, and culinary vegeta
bles of all kinds are raised in ample quantity.
The wheat is particularly fine; tall, with long,
and well-filled heads. 1 had opportunity, subse
quently, of seeing the Chilian wheat, which is
deservedly, celebrated; but 1 consider it decided
ly interior to that grown on the Columbia.
Fruits, of various kinds, apples, peaches, plums
&c., do remarkably well. 1 remember being
particularly’ struck, upon my ai rival at Vancou
ver in the autumn, with the display ot apples
in thegardeu ol the fort. The trees were crow
ded with fruit, so that every limb required to be
sustained by a prop. The apples were literally
parked along the branches, and so closely that 1
could compare them to nothing more aptly than
ropes ot oni ms as they are sometimes exhibit
ed for sale i. our markets. Indian corn fails
here, in consequence of the shortness of the sea
son, but at Walla-Walla, three hundred miles
above, it is raised in great quantity. The
superintendent informed me that eighty bush
els to the acre was an ordinary crop, but
that he had known his land to yield one hun
dred. In the vicinity of Walla-walla, or Ney
I’erces Fort, the country, in every direction for
many miles, exhibits an arid and cheerless pros
pect. The soil is deep sand, and the plain upon
which the fort stands produces nothing but
t; ushes of dry aromatic worm word, (artemesia.)
Along the borders of the small streams, how
• rer, the soil is exceedingly rich and productive,
id on these strips of land the superintendent
' .ises his coni and the vegetables necessary for
■ e consumption of his people.
The prong homed antelope (antelopefurcifcr)
> tcasionally ranges these plains; the black tail
s' I or mule deer (c.errus macrohs) is found in the
v cinity, grouse of several species are very a
b mdant, and the large prairie hare as common.
I inter down upon the river, ami extending in
>• 'ed to the rocky cape at its entrance, is found
De white-tailed deer, (■"■< i’».« Z-j the elk,
fie. In the autumn and winter, in the. vicinity
r>l Fort Vancouver, ducks, geese and swans
swarm in immense number. These are killed
bv the Indians and taken to the Foil as articles
of trade. For a single duck, one load of powder
and shot is given; tor a goose, two; and for a
swan, 1 loads. For a deer, ten loads of ammu
nition or a bottle of rum is the usual price.
Early in May the salmon are first seen enter
ing the river, and in about a fortnight the Co
lumbia and all its tributaries teem with these
delicious fish, which are seen leaping from the
water continually. The Indians lake great
numbers, subsisting almost wholly upon them
.luring their stay, and drying and packing them
away i# thatched huts, to lie used for winter
store. The salmon also forms a chiet article ot
food for the inmates of the fort, and hundreds of |
casks are salted down every season for I lie •
sumption ot the hired men during winter.
When Captain Wyeth established his tort on |
the Wappatoo Island, he soon found himself
compelled to depend entirely upon the salmon
fishery, being forced by the company to relin
quish his trade in furs. He accordingly turned
his attention to this branch of trade, and when
his brig sailed for the United States she had a
bout half a cargo on board. The fish paid well,
and all connected with the undertaking after
wards regretted that more attention had not been
given to it. The salmon can always be pur
chased of the Indians in any quantity anti at very
low prices, cleaned and ready for salting.
The Wallammet or Multnomah riverempties
into the Columbia, about 20 miles below Van
couver, at the lower end of Wappatoo Island,
which is called the Warrior’s Point. There is
also another mouth at the head of the island,
about three miles below Vancouver. The Wai
lainet is navigable for vessels drawing 10 or 12
feet, to the distance of about 30 miles. At this
point a small stream enters the river, which is
called the Klakatnas, and about a mile above is
a fall of about 35 feet. Here are several admir
able mill seats, and the whole of the land in the
vicinity is of the very best quality. About 20
above this, in the Wallammet valley, as it is
called, is the spot chosen by the Methodist mis
sionaries for their settlement, and lime also a
considerable number of die retired servants of
the company have established themselves. The
soil ol this delightful valley is rich beyond com
parison, and the climate considerably milder
than that of Vancouver. Rain rarely fallseven
in the winter season, but the dews are sufficient
ly heavy to compensate for its absence. The
epidemic of the country, ague and fever, is rare
ly known here. In short, the Wallammet val
ley is a terrestrial paradise, to which I have
known some to exhibit so strong an attachment
as to declare that, notwithstanding the few pri
vations which must necessarily be experienced
by the settlers of a new country no consideration
could ever induce them to return to their former
homes.
There is also another small settlement on the
Kowalitsk river, a stream which flows from the
north and empties into the Columbia, about 30
miles below Vancouver. The soil here is said
to be rich as that of the Wallammet valley, and
the country even more picturesque and beautiful;
but the climate is that of Vancouver. It, how
ever, possesses some advantages over the Wal
lammet settlement; it is much nearer the ocean,
and no postages are required to be made in the
transportation of produce, tec.
Much more might be said in commendation
ofthe'Orcgon country, but in the foregoing slight
and hurried ske ch I have merely aimed at im
parting a modicum ot general information, in
the hope at least that some of the hardy and en
terprising youth of our land may be induced to
turn their attention to our great Western posses
sions, with a view to permanent residence there.
May we not hope in time to see this fine territo
ry teeming with an industrious and moral Amcr
ican. population, governad by their self-ena ’ted
laws, instead of being compelled to submit to
the arbitrary mandales of interested and inter
loping ad venturers
Washington, January 26, 1812.
Josephine and Napoleon.
I’rinn the “Confessions of « Spy.”
Everywhere in Paris, 1 heard Madame Tal
lies spoken of as the queen of beauty, and the
very life of society. I met her once, and she
very courteously addressed me, inviting me to
her house ; but 1 had substantial reasons for
keeping away. It was not so, however, with
Madame Beauharnois; and at the expiration of
rather a long interval, I called upon her. She
expressed herself much gratified at seeing me,
and the children clung round me with delight.
Never did 1 behold a human being more lovely’
than Hortense; she was j ust at that age when
the ripening freshness of beauty is most fascin
ating and attraative. Eugene was a dull, but
well-meaning lad, ki»d and generous, but with
out intellect. The widow was more gay
and cheerful than 1 had before seen her; she
was elegantly, and rather girlishly dressed, and
certainly to appearance her age did not seem to
exceed lour-and-twenty; but even had it been
otherwise, there was ;m engaging affability and
sweetness in her manner, tiiat would have mask
ed a farther progress of years to an admirer; —
the only drawback was a discoloration and want
of uniformity in her teeth.
I had looked in one evening to compliment
the widow and her family on the opening of
the new year, 1796; and was chatting familiar
ly with them, when the door of the drawing
room was suddenly thrown open, and who
should enter but Napoleon, leaning upon the
arm of J unot. He stopped for an instant on be
holding a stranger, and his sallow complexion
became more ashy in its hue, as he fixed a keen
and steady gaze upon my face. This was suc
ceeded by a frown and a flush of anger ; and I
became instantly aware that 1 was not only sus
pected, but known. The occurrence, however,
was little more than momentary; and after
whispering to Junot, who withdrew, he advanc
ed towards the lady, who evinced no surprise at
his conduct. Hortense, indeed, shrunk back as
if terrified by’ his looks, while Eugene stood
aloof, and manifested neither fear nor pleasure.
Bonaparte could not resist the winning smile of
the widow. At first he said, somewhat abrupt
ly,—
“How ill-fated 1 am to excite alarm amongst
the friends I love! 1 was not aware that you
had visiters.”
“It is a worthy friend of mine,” returned
Madame, looking towards me; “one who did
me a kind service at a period when it was most
acceptable, and,” she smiled most fascinatingly
upon him as she spoke, “I cannot be ungrate
ful to those who have rendered me a kindness.”
Napoleon took her hand, gallantly pressed it
to his lips; whilst 1 rose to take my departure,
fully’ sensible that I should be detained; and de
bating in my mind whether I should not at once
address the General, admitting our previous ac
quaintance, and claim the protection of Mad
ame Beaitharnois, or quietly’ submit to be ar
rested and conducted to prison as a spy, when
my death would assuredly follow, as a matter of
course. I determined on the former; and, ad
vancing towards the Corsican, —
“Monsieur General,” said I firmly, as he
drew aside, “you have remembered tiiat we are
not entirely ignorant of each other; I congratu
late you upon your good fortune.”
“Enough, enough,” exclaimed he “Yes, at
Bordeaux, at Toulon!” and he grinned with
rage, “traitors are to be found everywhere—
mais, mon ami”—and he took snutl—“you do
not escape this time.”
“Not escape! what do you mean, mon Gene
ral?” uttered Madume Beauharnois, as 1 drew
myself up proudly erect before the man who
more than once had owed his life to me, though
he did not know it; “he is my friend, beneath my
roof, yon cannot, must not, hurt him here!”
“We shall see,” said Buonaparte, again ta
king snutl; “he is an Englishman—a rogue—l
detest them all, and we have a long account to
settle.” His cheeks became perfectly blanch
ed, and his livid lips with rage. Whilst un
observed, Hortense opened a door that led into
a back apartment, and holding it ajar, gave me
a look too full of significance not to be under
stood. 1 caught her meaning in a moment.
“You are determined then on arresting me,
General,” said 1, with energy. “You will send
me to a prison, and perhaps to the grave.”
“Aux inlernaux—to perdition,” was his re
ply, in a manner that left no doubt of his de
sign; but I scarcely waited to hear himjaut, be
fore 1 darted through the doorway which tiie
lovely girl had left open, and observing a win
dow thrown up, 1 bounded through it to alight
upon an out-building only a few feet in descent,
and thence slid down the sloping roof into a
walled garden. Here, looking round me for a
moment, and observing that no one was in pur
suit, I ascended the wall and tiropt into an ad
joining plot ot ground in the rear, passed round
the house unnoticed, gained the street, and har
rier away as quick as my legs would carry me
for the old building, where 1 changed my dress,
mounted a curlv-wig and a pair of spectacles,
darkened my eyebrows with burnt cork, Hap
ped on moustaches, and sallied forth to see how
matters went on.
1 passed Ate residents of Madame Beauhar
noistwo or*uee times, an orderly dragoon was
al the door, but every thing was perfectly quiet.
The following day 1 met my police friend,
who told me a long story of a desperate attack
that had been made the night before on the per
son of Napoleon by an English assassin, who
escaped; and the Police had issued
instructions to the subordinates to use every ex
ertion in finding the ruffian out. He added, “I
have experienced your vigilance many times;
now, see what you can do for both 'of us; if
you are successful, it will elevate me still high
er, and 1 will get you promoted. Here is a de
sertotion of the assassin,” and he put into my
halms a printed paper, giving a pretty accurate
portraiture of my person.
“You may rely upon my best exertions,” said
1; “the villain to attempt the life of our brave
young General. But where did all Illis hap
pen ?”
“Aye, there’s the mischief,” returned he.—
“Citizen Barras is very fond of fine women, and
he has greatly admired Madame Beauharnois;
but General Buonaparte is superseding him in
her regards, and there are strange tales and ru
mours. My brother tells me they will be married,
and Barras Ik trying to bias the Directory to get
Buonaparte the command of the forces that are
to invade Italy. Depend upon it, he is in the
high road to favour and to fortune—a rising sun
which we, like true Persians, must learn to wor
ship.”
I promised my ready and willing acquiescence,
and that if the rascally assassin remained in
Paris, 1 would soon gain a clue to his wherea
bouts. At the same time I hinted that there were a
number of English in the city, who ought to be
carefully watched, and requested him to obtain
me a list of all the names he could, that I might
ascertain their business.
Three or four days afterwards, 1 was furnish
ed with a long catalogue of addresses, purport
ing to be those of English residents, but amongst
whom were mixed people ot almost every na
tion. There was at this time a singular per
sonage in Paris, habited in Turkish costume,
and affected to live in great state, notwithstand
ing the dearth which prevailed. He wasgener
ous in the extreme to the poor objects of destitu
tion an<l misery, and God knows they were not
lew. He not only supplied them with food, as
far as he was enabled to purchase it. but ad
ministered as a physician to them under dis
ease; and every tongue was warm in commen
dations of the philanthropic Turk. He spoke
I'rrnrli with all the freedom ot a native, fre
quented the public places, and was quite one of
the lions of the city. Wine was a prohibited
litKury; but fame took great liberties with his
character, by asserting that he was a very diable
I at brandy and hollands. Some circumstances
occurred, that brought him under suspicion. If
■ I recollect right, it was through Buonaparte
, having questioned him relative to his country,
and receiving not only ambiguous answers, but
i a vast deal of rhodomontade, which scarcely a
greed with the intelligence he had gathered from
’ others ot the faithful, Napoleon artfully introdu
ced him to a supposed fellow Mussulman, and
, they conversed together very well in French,
. but Were sadly bothered in their own language,
, the generous Turk talked very fluently in a ton
s gue that the other declared he could not compre
, bend. They were both arrested and thrown in
to the same prison, but without being allowed to
! communicate with each other.
s II so happened, however, that after their first
> examination by the Judge de Paix, they’ were
s conducted back together to confinement, to be
brought up at some future period, when the first
i Turk, during the temporary absence ordistance
> of the guards, heard the second Turk mumble to
s himself, “Diel grip you for a loon, for bringing
- me into sic a scrape 1”
i “Och, blood and ouns I and what’s that ye’re
f after saying !” exclaimed the first.
■ They- looked at each other with feelings, in
■ which the ridiculous was most prevalent, and
• begged to be taken back before the judge, as
i they had confessions to make. This however,
was not granted; but an examination took place
■ in the prison, when it came out that the first
Turk was an officer in Louis XVl.’s Irish Bri
gade, of good estate, who had come to Pajis in
: disguise,for the purpose of carrying on an amour.
The Scotchman was a renegade physician, ac
tually attached to the household of the Sultan;
I but had visited the capital of France by invita
i tion on scientific pursuits, as about that time an
■ Institute was forming on sound and judicious
principles, which afterwards owned some oflhe
■ most learned men in the world amongst its mem
; bers. It was some time, however, before they’
I obtained their release, and even then for a ccr-
I tain period under the surveillance of guardians,
I who were made responsible for their good be
; havidr. The affair caused great amusement
amongst the citizens for a few days, till some
thing else turned up. As for the Turks they
, abandoned the turban, and as the occurrence bad
■ afforded them great eclat, no fete of consequence
was given without tl’-ir being invited as the best
i friends in the world.
Shortly after this, Napoleon was united to
Madame Beauharnois; and in ten days subse
i quent set out to take command of the Army’ in
Italy, therefore, my apprehension,as far as he
i was concerned, were at an end.
I was now busily engaged in fathoming a
concerted plan for aiding rebellion in Ireland,
but the whole was so secretly managed, that it
was with difficulty that I could procure infor-
I mation, though I actually’ got acquainted with a
i jesuitical priest, who was employed as the nego
tiating agent; but he was a shrewd close man,
and never conversed upon any but general top
ics.
It was some where of April
that whilst attending to my police duties, 1 was
passing near the prison of the Abbaye, when a
parly of dragoons came rapidly along, preced
ing a carrige by the side of which rode several
officers, and there must have been at least twen
ty dragoons bringing up the rear. 1 knew well
that this could not be a guard of honor, and im
mediately concluded that it was one or more
■ state prisoners of importance who were about to
be consigned to durance; and, as rumors were
afloat that Monsieur had been seen in the neigh
borhood of Paris, 1 conjeetured it was he. The
carriage passed quickly along. 1 was pretty’
close to it; but instead of a royal captive, 1 be
held the curly’ hair and handsome features of a
good-humored Englishman, in naval uniform,
whom 1 instantly recognized as the gallant Sir
Sidney’ Smith.
Fike.—The Mobile Herald of the 28th tilt,
says;—About 2 o’clock yesterday morning afire
was discovered by the night guard in the cloth
ing store ofG. Fredericks, No. 14, St. Michael
street, and in the building occupied by Taylor
& Mcßea, dry goods merchants, and T. J. Hill
& Co., Commission Merchants. The alarm
being given, the firemen wh > were on the spot
with their usual promptness, succeeded in ex
tinguishing it, and saving the property from en
tire destruction. The loss sustained by Mr.
Fredericks is about $3,000, that sustained by
the other parties is but trifling, caused by’ the
moving of their goods.
Gen. Putnam.—The last number of the
Knickerbocker says:—“We have before us an
unmistakeable autograph letter of his, which,
both for its hand writing and its orthography,
is a decided curiosity. It runs as follow:

t Taking it Cooi.lv.—lt is said of a certain
i young Lieutenant ot the United Stales Navy,
- who some ten years ago was a passed midship
i man, that while the Constitution frigate, to
which he belonged, was lying-to at one of the
- Azores, a heavy gale came on. The ship was
r drifting toward a rock-bound coast, where she
> would inevitably go 'o pieces. All was con
i stei nation on board, and the probability was, it
■ she went ashore, not a dozen souls would be
saved. This young officer, whether on shore
- or at sea, was peculiarly neat in his dress—ra-
I ther foppishly so; and he had acquired, by this
• peculiarity, the title of the “Pelham” of the Na-
- vy. During the gale, his station was on the
- gun deck forward, superintending the paying
> out of the chain cable, as the ship kept diagging,
t and in some way his kid gloves got dirty. It
- should be remarked, that with all his foppish
ness, he was an able, eool and determined young
. officer. Dm ing the height of the gale, the
I Chaplain went round the ship, praying heie and
there tor Hessings on those who were about to
- lake the great leap inn eternity. Approaching
- Mr. with a serious countenance, he ad-
- dressed him:
■ “ Can J do any thing for you, Mr. , on
• this awful occasion
“ Yes,” replied the young officer, without
, changing a muscle, “won’t you be so good as to
turn down nut shirt collar ?”
Fortunately the frigate escaped—but the “turn
■ down my collar” of “Pelham” was a standing
expression among his messmates.— Piarytme.

A Woodman’s Mode ok Tooth Drawing.—
1 had an impertinent tooth in my upper jaw
that had been loose for some time, and made
me chew with great caution. Particularly I
could not grind a biscuit but with much delib
eration and presence of mind. Tooth-drawers
wc had none amongst us, nor any of the instru
ments they make use of. However, invention
supplied this want very happily, and 1 contri
ved to get rid of this troublesome companion
by cutting a caper. 1 caused a twine to be
fastened round the root of my tooth, about a
fathom in length, and then tied the other end to
the snag of a log that lay upon the ground, in
such a manner that I could just stand upright.
Having adjusted my string in this manner, I bent
ray knees enough to enable me to spring vigor
ously olf the ground, as perpendicularly as 1
could. The force of the leap drew out the tooth
with so much ease that I felt nothing ot it, nor
should have believed it came away, unless I had
seen it dangling at the end oflhe string.
An under tooth may be fetched out by stand
ing off the ground and fastening your string at
due disianee above you. And having so fixed
your gear, jump off your standing, and the
weight of your body added to the force ot your
spring, will prize out your tooth with less pain
than any operator upon earth could draw it.—
This new wav of tooth-drawing, being so silent
ly and deliberately performed, both surprised
and delighted all that were present, who could
not guess what 1 was going about. I imme
diately found .the benefit ot getting rid of
this troublesome companion, by eating mv »u;>-
;rer with more comfort than I had done during
the whole expedition.

Destructive Fire at Cincinnati*
:u:v::h u. lives lost.
An exlta li nn ihe olbvC ol the < ineiniiali
Gazette, dated Feb. 26, 8 o’clock, A. M. furnish
es the following particulars of a destructive fire
which occurred at that place on Saturday pre
vious.
Distressing Fire*
On Saturday afternoon, about 5 o’clock, afire
broke out in the smoke house of Messrs. Pugh
& Alvord, at the corner of Walnut street and
the Canal, which in its consequences, lias been
one of the most distressing that ever occurred
in this city.
The smoke house was in the rear, and some
what detached Iroiii the main building, being
connected with it only by a wooden door and
narrow passage-way through which the meat
was usually wheeled. It was thought the lire
could be confined to the former, and for that pur
pose tiie Pork House was closed tight as possi
ble, by shutting all the doors and windows, to
exclude a rush of air to teed the Hames. In
the course of half an hour the main building
was filled with smoke, ratified air, and probably
some inflammable gas, from the smoke house,
and when the flames burst through the wooden
door connecting the iwo buildings, an instanta
neous roar of flame was perceived, and, in the
twinkling of an eye, the wliole of tiiis spacious,
substantial building was a mass of ruins. The
whole roof was lilted up in tiie air and thrown
into the streets in laige itaginent.- —the second
story walls on the north and south sides were
thrown down, and the wliole eastern end of both
stories, fronting on Walnut, blown into the
streets, froin’ils foundation up.
The appearance of the explosion was awfully
terrific, and its consequences fatal to several of
our most estimable citizens. It is thought that
from eight to twelve persons were iiniiiediately
killed and piobitbly twenty were severely wound
ed, some of them dangerously.
In view of the i.telaneholv circumstances of
the case, tiie loss of property is hardly worth
mentioning. There were about2oo,ooo lbs. Ba
con in the Smoke House, totally destroyed, fully
insured however. We understand there was
also s6oo<)insurance on the Pork House, which
will rebuild it, as tiie lower floor and founda
tions are uninjured. Tiie surrounding sheds
and yards were filled with barrels of Pork, Ba
con and.La rd, wliich was generally got out with
out much injury.
Murderous Consviracv to take a Convict
Ship.—We find the following startling narra
tive in tiie London Sim of the 3d insr.:
“Intelligence has just been received of an in
tended massacre of the officers and civilians on
board the Eliza, government transport, which
sailed from her Majesty’s Royal Arsenal, Wool
wich, a few months. since, with convicts for
Seuth Australia. It appears, as the vessel
neared the Line, a murderous conspiracy ex
isted among some of the convicts, which would
have terminated, no doubt, in the certain de
struction of those walked down as their victims.
There was 267 convicts on board, among whom
was a soldier, wiio had Veen transported for 14
years tor striking a sergeant! He privately
sent a letter to the surgeon, informing him of
the intended outbreak, o:i the morning of the 4th
of March; that the design was to put to death
all the soldiers, officers, passengers, and such of
the crew as offered the least resistance, and then
to steer tor the Braziliancoasi. Tiie man was
prudently conveyed to the dabin, its not to ex
cite suspicion, where he was minutely exaniin
qd by the surgeon and captain. He never va
ried in his statement, and so answered all the
.htterrogatories put to hint as left no doubt on
the minds of his hearers oflhe intended horrors.
Extra sentinels were immediately posted, and
at 3 o’clock on the eventful moiniiig, the pas
sengers and ciew were sunilnoucd on deck,
when their situation was explained to them, and
all then being well armed, were ordered to de
fend their lives to the last.
The morning, our correspondent writes, was
calm and beauteous—njt «t whisper was heard
on the mighty deep, when suddenly eight bells
announced the hour when the murderous con
flict was to take place. The prisoners were
well organized and armed with iron bolts and
other weapons stolen frsm the ships stores. The
surgeon, with all the gallantry of the navy, was
unwilling to sacrifice the life of the sergeant,
whose duty it was to open the convicts’ gate at
4 o’clock—all was breathless anxiety, when the
surgeon unhesitatingly himself advanced to the
gate, desiring a couple of file of soldiers to ad
vance and shoot the first prisoner who dared to
pass except the one he named. They at once
perceived theii plot was discovered, retired to
their berths, and threw the bolts and all offensive
weapons out of th- ports into the sea. Had the
collision taken place, the loss of life would have
been dreadful. The ringleader was a voting
man of the name of Dickenson, who hail been
an apothecary's assistant in Thavies’ Inn, Hol
born. He was a desperate opium eater. He
leaped overboard immediately after the discov
ery, and notwithstanding eveiy exertion to save
him, he was drowned. Every precaution was
adopted for the security of the convicts, and they
were handed over to the civil power on arrival.”
An Earnksi I*viL.. . ru* - ’mex* l1 1 1 '-
tai anecdote is related of Col. Harry Babcoek,
late of the United States army, who was an ed
ucated man of brilliant oratorical powers, tho’
a somewhat eccentric personage:
On a certain time when his regiment was
formed for players it was announced that the
chaplain was unable to attend through a sudden
indisposition. The Colonel instantly ascended
the drum-pulpit, coinmanded attention, assum
ed a reverential altitude, and burst forth in a
strain ol the most impassioned eloquence.—
Supplication on supplication for every earthly
blessing, and tiie conversion of both J w and
Gemtile nations, were offered up in a sublimity
of language and manner never before witness
ed. Then, after an appropriate pause, he pro
ceeded: “And lor our enemies in particular, O
Lord, we beseech thee to hear our prayer, that
they may see the error of their ways, and be
speedily brought to a sense of justice, in end of
their oppressive and wicked usurpations. But,
if not, (changing his voice and manner to a cor
responding degree,) then, O Lord, brace our
hearts, nerve our arms, and permit us to lake
vengeance into our own hands;” here of a sud
den he came to an abrupt pause of some few
moments. Then breaking forth anew, in a con
trasted style of oratory, lie added—“ But, O,
Lord, what shnll we say of those cursed Indiaus’f
Damn ’em all. Amen.” The amen was res
ponded to by every one. and followed l y three
oud huzzas.
Jewell vs. Jewell.
This case was tried at the Circuit Court at
Charleston, South Carolina. One Benj. Jewell
a Hebrew, lived from 1795 to 1810 witha Cath
olic lady named Sophia Provost, or Jewell, and
they had eight children. He then left her, and
in 1813 married a Mis.. Isaacs, and never return
ed to South Unr.dina.. By his last connection
he also left children, and finally died at sea. On
searching his papers in Louisiana, a will was
found among them, but while the oiii 'ers of jus
tice were at dinner, th; • will disappeared, and
has never been found. The last wife and her
family only were present.
The deceased thus being intestate, and no
provision being made lor the distribution of his
estate among his t .vo lamilies, each claim the
inheritance exclusively. The children of the
first marriage claim that, as the marriage with
Miss Isaacs took place when the first wife was
living, it was voi:. and her issue illegitimate.
The wife and chit iren of the second marriage
alledge, to rebut ibis, that the first connection
with Miss Provost was not marriage, but that
she was only a concubine, and so the second
marriage was valid. So that the whole ques
tion turned on the validity of the first marriage.
To prove which, testimony was introdueed.that
they lived together respectably, and called each
other husband and wile; that .-he was called on
to renounce dower to part of his land. This
was unanimously concurred in by eight or ten
respeetable witnesses. Still farther to confirm
it, the first wife, having renounced her inf est
swore she wasiltilv mairieJ to Boni. Jewell in
Savannah, 1795 or 6. She was married by a
magistrate, she being a Catholic and her hus
band a Jew.
To confirm this, a witness who was at the
house, but did not see the ceremony, went in.
ate cake and drank wine, and congratulated
Jewell, and immediately after, she was in his
store and received in society as his wife. An
other witness testified he heard Jewell was to
be married on a given day; after that, he was
married, and witness saw him and his wife liv
ing together. There was various other evi
dence, such as their living years together in
Charleston, educating their children, &c. The
other siue alledge she signed a paper receipting
for SSOO as a full consideration of Jewell’s
breach of promise, and agreeing still to live
with him. It was objected that this paper was
an imposition. Jewell and his first wife sepa
rated in 1810, and in 1813 lie married again,
and she also in 1818—considering herselfat lib
erty to do the same ; both wives are living.
The jury found a verdict in favor ot the le
gitimacy of the first set ot children, and the case
comes to the Supreme Cour on exceptions to
the charge of the Court, who stated in the exacl
words ot Chancellor Kent—“ That if the contract
be made yer t erba tie pres nil, and remains with
out cohabitation, or if made per rerbo de future,
and be followed bv consummation, it amounts
to a valid marriage, which the parties (being
competent as to age and consent) cannot dis
solve, and it is equally binding as if made in fa
. cie ecclesise,” to which the plaintiffs excepted.
The Bill to lav off the State of Alabama in
to Congressional Districts upon the vhile basis
alone, has passed both House's of the Legisla
ture ot that State, and is now a law. Thus,
the principle laid down in the Constitution of
the United States, guaranteeing to three-fifths
of the slave population full political weight in
the distribution of political power over the Un
ion, is repudiated by a “democratic’’ slave-hold
ing State. ft will be remembered that a simi
lar proposition was made by a democratic Sen
ator in the Tennessee Legislature last fall, but
was promptly scouted down. Why mav not
all the non-slave holding States of the Union
with as much propriety disclaim the right ot
political power now enjoyed by the South on
account of its slave population, as that the non- I
slave holding comities in Alabama should with- I
hold it from tin- slave holding counties ’ - />’<- I

Johns, Potto Rico, bring, advices ol' the efecis
of a severe shock of an earthquake, on the Hth
February.
Extracts of a letter received bv the ownei of
the Fiances Jane, dated St. Johns, February 14(11
and Islh. state:
“We have just r'ceiv.sl .ilvi --' - from the
Windward. The eifectsol the earthquake ol
the Bth inst. have been awfol, indeed. Point
Pdre, in Gaudaloupe, is to'otly ihslrmied, and ten
thousai: t persons are supposed to iicre been, billed.
The loss of property is iinmen e. At Antigua,
also, there has been a great lo;s of property, but
five lives lost. All the mills and Sugar works
are more or less injured, andtfie greater part of
the crop will be lost. Nevis, Montsenat, Bar
bedees, &c. <ic. are said to have suffered much,
but to what extent is not known yet.
“Here, and at St. Thomas, the shock was al
so severe, and lasted at this jilace two minutes;
but there was no material damage done at either
place.”— Bultimore Patriot of the Hit.
Another Slide.—A third slide occurred at
Troy, on Wednesday evening, a short distance
south of the two previous ones. The amount
of earth which fell was about half as large as
the first slide. There was no injury dene to
person:, or property.
Red River—’l’tie steamer Southwestern, from
Shreveport, arrived last evening, Tepoi.s that
Red River was falling at thnt point, but isiug
at Natchitoches and Alexandria. At tiie latter
place the citizens were fearful of an inundation,
and were actively engaged in measures for pro
tection. The water was within 18 inchcsollhe
top of the bank, and thewbolel’oree oflhe town
was employed in throwing up a high levee to
keep it oil. Between Shrevepurt and Natchi
toches, many plantation were inundated—the
houses raised upon it niporury elevations, and
the inhabitants moving about in canoes and
other rude craft. Cattiewere seen in every di

Exceptions are also taken to.the rejection of
the statement of one Simons, who declared Jew
ell and wife were not married. Also for reject
ing a newspaper publication.
The interest ol the case depends up- u its in
volving the questions what constitutes marriage
—what forms are necessary, if any—and how
far the confession of the parties for a series of
years can afterward be denied by either to bas
tardize their issue.
The counsel were Attorney General and .Mr.

Tr.-imendous Explosion.—A vast mine was
sprung at Borer, England, on the 2<ith nit., to
blow up the Rounddown Cliff, which stood next
to Shakspeare’s Cliff, the object being to make
a roadway instead ofatunnel, forthe Southeas
tern railway. The gunpowder was 18,500 lbs.
1,000,090 toils of chalk were dislodged by the
shock, which settled gently down into the sea
below. The blast would save the company
jZIOJO worth of labor. Sir John Herschel and
a number of scientific men were present, as al
so an immense assemblage.
The Forsaken.
BY MARY 1.. LAWSON.
It was a beautiful sentiment ol one whom
her lord proposed to put away—“ Give me then
back,” said slue, “that which I brought to you.”
And the man answered, in his vulgar coarseness
of soul—“your fortune shall retuni to you.” “I
thought not of fortune,’' said the lady; “give me
back my real wealth—give me back my beau y
and my youth—give me back the virginity of
soul—give me back the cheerful mind, and the
heart that has never been disappointed.”— Hot
icer.
Think not for fortune’s gift* I cure,
Alas! what are thej r now to me.
But give me back youth’s promise fair.
And every charm I brought to thee;
Give me again the many years
O’er which thy hand a blight has <.e-t.
Give me the hopes unstained by teals,
Those glowing visions of the past.
Give, me that freshness of the soul
That knew no doubt, that feared no ill,
That ne’er had bowed ’neatti grief s control
But fondly loved and trusted '•till,
Ami that deep fount of holv love
My heart has ever poured on thine.
Iladst thou a power earth’s power above
('ouldst thou restore v hat once wa* mine?
Couhlst thou give back the cheerful mind,
cloudless as the beam - «»f
That ne’er mid neglect had pined.
Or viewed its fairest dream.- decay *
Then tell rne not 01 golden store!
Thy proffered gift ho v poor—how rain—
My real, my only wealth rc.-i;>.-e
Give me my happy heart again.
Yet though thou send'st me forth, alone
To brave the cold world s heartless scorn.
Though every trace of love has flown
Prom her who is indeed forlorn.
I still will proudly bear the worst
That fate may hold in store for me:
It cannot bring a lot more curst
Than longer to abide with thee.

ripilE GENUINE BRANDRETU
fc PILLS have, in nil cases in which they
have been used, fully sustained thvir high chai
acter. In the East and West indies, in Russia,
Turkey and China, the Brandrcth Pills arc u.i
teiisivuly pationizud. The same may be said us
Mexico mid throughout South America. 1 haw.
recently received une order for eighty thousand
boxes, from the Gorcnwr of a Colony 'jf Portu
gal in the !hi-;c ladies. Ale had used the Bran
drctii Pills in Madeira, by the advice us the very
Reverend, the Canon, T’humus Tolentino de Sil
va, my agent at Funchal, and found them »u ex
cellent a.u an and-bilious physic and puiifier of
the blood, that he became, after much experience
of their beneficial properties, one of their best and
strongest advocated, mid has now introduced mem
into the Cuiunyof which he is the appointt d Go
vernor by the Government of i*m:tigal. Thus
the Brandretn Pitls continue to have ihe- sphere
of their useiuhii-ss extended.
In the Knski.i Stales of North America, and
in Great Biitain, no medicine was< v< r i.i . uuh
universal u/u ns the Brand, th Pill?. High and
inllueniiuj individuals often purchmiu them lo <td
niiniutcr to ihe poor, in every place wlk-i.. they
have been introaucudj and where no riJeiuiilaliun
of them has been sold, their reputation has con
stantly increased, and lb*: circle of iheir useful
ness enlarged. They are conceded to be the b st
purgative, the best mni-billoh? and th; l most r. r
tain purifier of the aloud known. The cures they
have peiforund in chrouic diseases, whore hope
had tied, is beyond belief.
As a general family mediefue, t-speually in the
Smith, their value is incalculable. By having the
Brandreth Pills always on hand, should a sud-
I den attack of sickness take place, they can be gi-
I ven at once, and will often have eiiScted a cure
before the physician could have arrived. Ju Cho
lic and iafiamntion us the bowels, these Pids will
j at once relieve, and peisevenmce in iliLir use,
| according to the directions, will surely do all that
1 medicine can do io restore the health of rhe pa
| tient. in diseases arising from the use of mer
} c-ury, or from any cause of vitiation, from bad
j blood or otherwise, their use will produce the nim-i
i happy results. In all attacks of Rhcui.Kit.isni, in
iErysiphilu... Salt Rheum, and in casus us dhrmiie
or recent the use us the Braulret t
Pills will be productive of infinite service; some
times buin.- productive of so great a change for
the better, as m occasion great thankfulness, in
all cases of infHmention, ironns, asthma, diseasis of
the heart, and in all affections of the .stomach, and
boioeis, the Brandiieth Pills will be found a 4>e
v.T-failia;. remedy.
To insure the full benefit us these celebrated
Pills, they should be kept in the house, so that
upon th • firs: commencement of sickness they
may beat <mc * lusurtrd to; one. dose then is bet
ter than a dozen after the disease has become es
tablished in the sysu hi.
Tli - Bkanureth Pills are purely veyretable,
and so innocent ihal the infant a month old may
use them if medicine is required, not only with
, safety, but with the certainty of receiving all the
benefit medicine is capable of imparting. Fe
males may use them during all the critical periods
of their Jives;—the Brandhei h Pills will insure
their health, and produce regulaiity in all the func
tions of life.
Be careful of couulerft.it. Pills. How to amid thuni.
