Washington's Old Servant.
WasliiKgton, February 5, 1813.
The spirit of patriotism within me has been
refreshed this morning by a communion with a
man whose Existences constitutes a link—pro
bably the only link—which connects the present
with the long, long past.
Having noticed that a bill passed the House
of Representatives granting a pension to John
Carey, who was the servant ol Col. Washing
ton at Braddock’s deleat, and who was also his
army servant during a part of the Revolution
ary war, I inquired him out, and to-day the
Hon. Mr. Briggs of Massachusetts, and the
Hon. Mr. Morgan of our own State, accompa
nied me to the old veteran’s cabin, which is up
on a branch of the Potomac, about a mile from
the Navy Yard. We found him in good health
and with a strong feeling of gratitude to God
and his country al the prospect of a pension.—
He says that the people of Virginia, thirty years
ago, told him that if he came to Washington,
he would be sufe to get a pension, and though
he has suffered many yearn of disappointment,
instead Os complaining he has been thankful lor
the mercies and blessings he has enjoyed.
When we commenced conversation with him
his voice was tremulous and his utterance dif
ficult. But this, as his feelings rose, was over
" 'uiucli'animatToti, evincing remarirapfc i'.ieili
qence, a strict regard lor truth, and a just sense
ol proprie'v. He did not know how old he was
but from . rmalion derived from persons who
knew hin. >est, fixes his birth m 1729. He
says that lie was several years older than the
“Colonel” at Braddock’s deleat. Washington
took him as a servant when he entered the ar
my in 17-13, telling him he must give away his
fiddle, stop playing with dice, and he would
take care of him, and that lie found him a kind,
I good master. He gave us a brief but intelli
gent account of the disastrous battle in which
the English General fell. This living chroni
cle of a battle which occurred almost one hun
dred years ago, from the lips of one of the actors
in the same was deeply interesting.
Mr. Briggs showed the old negro a sword be
longing to General Washington, wliich by many
was supposed to be the one worn at Braddock’s
defeat. After examining it, the old man said
that it was not so : that the “Colonel” had two
swords with him in that campaign, both of
wliich he said he had the care of, and which he
described. Mr. B. informed him that the sword
came from Washington's grand-nephew; but
lie persisted in saying that was not used in that
campaign, as is the fact, for upon the belt-buckle
“G. W. 1757” is engraven, showing that it was
made two years alter that battle.
He then gave some accounts of scenes on the
Brady wine, in the Revolutionary war, and of
the surrender of Cornwallis, when he was again
Washington’s servant, but with less distinctness
showing that the earliest scenes were best re
membered. When he heard of 'Washington’s
illness, he came from his residence to Mount
Vernon, arriving the day after the General died.
At first nobody there knew him, or who would
allow him to see the remains, but his importu
nities finally brought some of the family out,
by whom he was recognized.
At the close of the war General Washington
gave him one of his military coats, which he
has carefully preserved, and values it as a relic
above any price the world can offer. This was
shown to us. It is blue, with yellow facings,
and large metal buttons, six of which have been
feloniously cut off by visitors. In looking at
and talking of this precious garment, the old
man brightened up and became enthusiastic.—
Mr. Briggs asked him what he would take for
the coat. He saw the question was not in ear
nest, and barely replied, “ Don’t ask such a
question, massa.” Mr. Morgan, with apparent
earnestness,’repeated, “How much money shall
I give you for it, John ?” At this be drew up
and replied with spirit, that if he had nothing
but rags to .wear, and nothing to eat, all the mo
ney in the world could not buy that coat. But,
he added, “you may put it oh, as a heap of la
dies and gentlemen have done before.”
Having been with him more than an hour, I
spoke of going, but he urge”, us so earnestly to
stay, that we remained milch longer, listening
with constantly increasing interest, to one who
has lived to more than five score and ten years.
His mental 'faculties are yet unimpaired.—
His vision and sjjqpch arc affected, but hearing
is good. Hiswiji. is more than seventy years
his junior, and his only companion and’ nurse.
They live iq-a. cabin.which he built before the
late war.
The bill which has passed the House under
the auspices ol Col. Taliaferro and Mr. Briggs
gives him a pension ol per ahnuhi, com
mencing in 1842.

The war in China,by which tire industry and

mercenary speculations of the opium smuggler,
and thus the field poppy, the most fragile lion -

the destinies of a people which fondly thought,
by their institutions, to Lave secured to them
selves an independence ot thought and action,
that would last asking as the wmil il.-e. From
time immemorial they had lived exclusively

In a late number of the Philadelphia Inquiier,
■there is a slight sketch ol this slate, of which
'less is known than of China. But, from the
testimony of the Dutch, and the very slender in
formation gleaned by the poor tempest-to-sed

exaggerated ma ten-fold degree. The British
are regarded by them with such a bigotry of ha
tred, that by imperial mandate, issued' about
live and thirty years ago, every individual, of
that nation, found within the limits of any of
the islands which acknowledge the Japanese
sway, is doomed to certain death. This bitter
hatred to the English, arose from a very curious
incident in the naval history of that power. In
1808, a frigate commanded by Capl. Pellew, a
son of the celebrated Admiral Lord Exmouth,
then Commander-in-chief in the Indian Seas,
was cruizing in the vicinity of Niaphon, in a
small port of which island’ the Dutch had, and
still have, a factory. Being in want of water,
and the scurvy having made its appearance a
inongst his crew, the Captain determined, al
though well acquainted with the exclusive }>ol
iey of the Japanese, to make an attempt to sup
ply htmself with that most necessary article,
and also to obtain a lew vegetables, to mitigate
the severity ot the dreadful malady on board.—
with much caution he entered the roadstead, and
disguised his ship so well, that the Dutch resi
dents at the factory, on Iter dropping anchor,
came off, and were not aware of the deceit prac
tised on them, until they found themselves on
the quarter-deck of the frigate, prisoners to their
most terrible foe. Capt. Pellew told them his
object, and promised to release them, on his
being supplied with what he sought, offering
payment, of course, for what lie should receive.
One of the gentlemen was permitted to land,
and communicate with the Goveinor. On the
latter’s hear ing the particulars of the occur
rence, his rage knew no bounds. Vengeance
for the insult offered to tire nation was determin
ed on, and nothing but the destruction of the
frigate could appease the insulted genius of this
vain people, for daring to impose bonds on those
under its protection. It was agreed on, in the
first place, to recover the prisoners from the En
glish, and water and fresh provisions were sup
plied in abundance.
As soon as the Dutch gentlemen were releas
ed, a levy’ of armed men was made, and the
most formidable preparations entered into, for
the destruction ofthe ship. Vessels were load
ed with stones, to be sunk seaward, so as to
block her up, and render her flight, impossible;
fire rafts were constructed, and a body of twen
ty-thousand men assembled, all devoted in their
zeal to avenge the outraged honor ot the nation.
AU this, however, was vain, for Capt. Pellew,
either distrusting the affected friendship of so
usual!}’ hostile a race, or obeying orders to keep
on his cruising ground, suddenly’ weighed an
chor and put to sea, thus escaping the contem
plated destruction of Iris vessel and crew. It
appears that the point of honor among this re
mote people, is as strong and binding as among
the most polished nation of Europe, but it is
manifested in a very singular way. When any
individual receives a personal affront, of a na
ture to sully his self-respect, he immediately de
stroys himself, and the aggressor is bound,’ un
der pain of exclusion from society, to follow
his example. The public officer, entrusted for
a time with the charge of the national honor,
must also wash away in his own blood any
outrage which it receives while in his charge.
In obedience to this most extraordinary precept,
the unfortunate Governor, in the case above de
tailed, destroyed himself on receiving news of
the escape ot the English frigate. Since this
period, the most determined leeling of horror
and detestation lias beeninculcated in the bosom
of every Japanese, against ever}’ one of that na
tion, and the crews of several ships belonging
to our transatlantic neighbor, wrecked on their
shores, have been mercilessly butchered.—The
Chinese expedition, now available, is, we ob
serve, to be employed by the English to coerce
the Japanese; and as this Empire contains a
population of more than thirty millions of peo
ple, living in a high slate of civilization, and
possessing abundant resources of almost every
kind, natural and artificial, who have hitherto
lived in utter seclusion from the rest of the com
mercial world, the most stupendous results may
be expected from the obtaining of a commercial
treaty with her. This is the object for which
Great Britain has ever contended, and on no
other conditions will she discontinue her hostile
operations. Here, there is another vast field
opened to the sons ot commerce; here, there is
another magnificent theatre for the develope
ment of the beauty and peace-disposing attri
butes of our holy religion : and whatever may
be the obloquy accompanying the first cause of
their operation in the East, the philanthropist
will view in their progress, unmitigated good,
and an approximation towards the accomplish
ment of that desirable end, which is to produce
“peace and good will among Eten!” Can we
not derive any advantage from this favorable
conjunctionoi’happycircumstances'? Are we
too sanguine when we anticipate that the enter
prising sons of Columbia will be found uutreh-
Ingpari passu, with the Englishman, towards this
new stream of commerce, now gushing, and
about to gush, with the immeasurable produc
tions of an almost unknown world! No! the
star-spangled banner is destined to float by the
Cross of St. George in the peaceful contest lor
commercial gain, with the. same pride and ulti
mate success with which she has met it in hos
tile array, and we as heartily bid it G' d speed

A CtiAPTtm on Noses.—A little paragraph

We have been bragging a good while about

Very likely. If they had been, in the battle
they would have turned up “the white of their

with him found it so.— Augusta Age.
good reason why they should “turn up their
noses”—it smelt too strong ofthe “gunpowder”
and “defeat” for them.— Bay Slate Dem.
"Wc do not know tvhat maybe the nasal ele
vation of military men of Europe, when they
speak ofthe battle ofjXew Orleans; but this w’c
do know, that a large number ofthe military
men of Europe, who were present on the occa
sion turned their noses up so high that they fell
on their backs and were ncverabl'e to get up a
gain. Thousands of them were in thispredica
ment, turning up their noses at every crack of
the rifle.—/ J ansiilfauii’ii.
Just so; and if some ofthe military men in
Europe, aforesaid, had been in the battle, they
would not only have turned up their noses, but,
as Dr. Pollapod says,
•‘First, they'd have turn’d pale.
And then they’d have turn’d tail!”

All we have to add is, uospopula damns, which

So tlowe:—and if (he nasal organs ol the
military men of Europe should by chance evet
become so elevated as to incline them again to
attack the “beauty and booty ” of New Orleans,
perhaps they will find that they’ have “run their
noses into tbe ground. ' — Fir,.

Animal Magnetism.—The wonders worked
by this fluid are pot confined to this generation.
When Dr. Franklin was minister to France
is is well known that Mesmerism was in the
full tide of successful experiment. Miracles no
less strange than are now performed, were then
as now afforded, to satiety, to the lovers of the
marvellous. A correspondent ofthe Journal of
Commerce says:
“The force of the imagination is capable, of
producing strange effects. When Animal Mag
netism began in France, which was while Dr.
Franklin was minister to that country, the won
derful effect it produced on the persons who
were under the operation, exceeded any thing
related in the strange accounts in the history of
witchcraft. They tumbled down fell into trances*
saw wonderful sights ; and went through many
manoiuvres, 1 ike persons supposed to be bewitch
ed.
“The Government in order to ascertain the
fact or detect the imposition, appointed a com
mittee of physicians to inquire into the ease, and
Dr. Franklin was requested to accompany them,
which he did.
“The committee went to the operator’s house,
and the persons on whom the operation was to
be performed were assembled. They were
placed in the position in which they had been
when under former operations, and blindfolded.
In a little time they began toshowsignsofagita
tion, and in the space of about two hours they
went through all the frantic airs, and performed
all the wonders they had shown before, but the
case was, that no operation was performing up
on them, neither was the operator in the room,
for he had been ordered out by the physicians;
but as the persons did not know this, they su]-
posed him present and operating upon them.
Il tiazs the effect of imagination only. Dr. Frank
lin in relating this account to the writer of this
article, said, that he thought the government
might as well have let it gone on, for thatas im
agination sometimes produced disorders, it
might also cure some.”
Loan Byron’s personal and poetical char
acter, blended as it is in his writings, has con
stituted the subject ofmuch criticism. The ab
sorbing egotism of the man has given to the
full exhibition of his individual nature
—<if the inmost workings of his mind. It was
not enough that the results of his intellectual ef
forts should speak for him—and even these
would have spoken much, since they embodied
a great deal of his personal passions and asso
ciations—he must make bare his bosom to the
public gaze and expose his own follies, and vi
ces, and sufferings, out of a singular vanity for
startling effect. The extremes of the little and
the great have scarcely ever been so strikingly
combined as in this distinguished personage.
But we design merely to introduce the follow
ing extract Irom a notice in the New York Tri
bune, ofalecture recently delivered in that city,
on the “Genius of Byron,” by Mr. Giles. In
reference to a principle, advanced by the lectu
rer, that the conflict between the ideal and the
actual, which in Byron was so marked, leads by
a natural process to misery and gloom of soul,
the Tribune remarks:
This, we believe a truth, and one of high im
portance; and with most terrible poweris it en
forced in the whole life of Byron.' But it seems
to us that this principle does not go far enough;
it does not reach to the bottom ot the matter.
The possibility of sin, of sensuality, consists in
the ability wliich man of all God’s creatures
alone possesses, of giving up his soul, that in
him which is spiritual, to lite indulgences of
the flesh: of descending from the higher to the
lower, and of making the base passions of the
lower the food and sole portion ot the higher
within him. The fact. < f such a burial of the
Soul in the mire of the Synse, of such a descent
from the high and holy ground of the Spirit to
the pollution and shame of fleshly pleasure, is
the great fact which embraces all Byron’s per
sonal life; and it was set forth by Mr. Giles
with an eloquence and power which command
ed the admiration of all.
From that fact, too, he deduced the misery A
the sorrow, the heart-loathings, the life-long ag
onies of the great Poet: and this deduction seems
to us in every way accurate and proper. That
suffering follows sin, is as certain as the law of
cause and effect: it isanatural process: itsfull
dcvelopement may be put off an hour, a year or
a life time; but in the end, the law is just as
sure to vindicate itself, the order will as surely
be completed, as the Sun will rise on the Earth
and return to the same position in her orbit.
The infinite Soul, longing for immortal food,
stifled in any air butthat of Heaven, must be
miserable when it comes down into tlie gross
ness of nature and seeks to satisfy itself with
the passions of flesh. This is trite, and was
most true ol Byron.
This, too, was exhibited by Mr. Giles, with
great power and beauty. But it only states half
the truth—and that the least important half. In
ik A.xoroly ututco tKat Dyi on c ntn is
tol.r in his plan of life, and that his life was
therefore wrt tched. It omits clearly to hold up
the main truth, that of his men frec-utiU, Byron
tints brought his soul down from its high estate
and forced it to feed upon the husks which were
fitted only for his fleshy nature; it was in obe
dience to no law of cause ana effect that Byron
sinned and degraded his faculties, and brought
leanness and agony into his soul. This wasan
act which iiad an origin, for it followed no law;
and as there is no origin in Nature, it must have
sprung from that within him above his nature:
from his spiritual being, hissuper-natural Will:
and thus upon his own head rests the guilt as
well as the consequence of his profanation.
Valley of the Columbia River.—ldo not
dilate upon the value and extent of this great
country. A word suffices to display both. In
extent it is larger than the Atlantic portion’ of
the old thirteen United States; in climate, .soft
er; infertility, greater; insalubrity’, superior;
in position, bettei, because fronting Asia, and
washed by a tranquil sea. In all these particu
lars the western slope of out continent is far more
happy’ than the eastern. In configuration, it is
inexpressibly fine and grand—a vast oblong
square, witii natural boundaries, and a single
gateway into the sea. The snow-capped Rocky
Mountains enclose it to the east; an iron bound
coast on the west; a frozen desert on the north,
and sandy plains on lhe south. All its rivers,
rising on the segment of avast circumference,
run to meet each other in the centre, and then
flow together into the ocean, through a gap in
the mountain, where the heats of summer and
the colds of winter are never felt, and where
southern and northern diseases are equally un
known. This is the valley ot the Columbia—a
country' whose every advantage is crowned by
t lie.id vantage of position and configuration—by
the unity of all its parts —the inaccessibility of
ils bonieis—and its single introgression to the
sea. Such a country is formed for union, wealth
and strength. It can have but one capital, and
that will be a Thebes; but one commercial em
porium, and that will be a Tyre, queenoi cities.

A Strange Story.
Lord Prtidhoc and Major Fi lix bcitig at Cai
ro last autumn, on ti.cn return Hom Aln ssmia,
where they picked up much of that inforinatiun
which has been wmked up so well by Captain
Bond Head in his life of Bruce, found the town
in a state ot extraordinary excitement, in con
sequence ot a recent arrival in those parts of a
celebrated magician from the centre of Africa,
somewhere in the vicinity ot the Mountains of
the Moon. It was universally said and gener
ally believed, that this character possessed and
exercised the power of showing to any visiter
who chose to comply with his terms, any per
sons, dead or living, whom the same visiter
pleased to name. The English travellers, after
abundant inquiries ami some scruples, repaired
to his residence, paid their fres, and were ad
mitted to his sanctum. They found themselves
in the presence' of a very handsome young
Moor, with a very long black beard, a crimson
caftan, a snow white turban, eighteen inches
high,blue trowsers and yellow slippers, sitting
cross-legged on a Turkey carpet, three feet
square, with a cherry stalk in his mouth, a cup
of coffee at his elbow, a diamond hefted dagger
in his girdle and in his right hand a large vol
ume, clasped with brazen clasps. On hearing
their errand, he arose and kindled some spices
on a sort of small altar in the middle ol the
room. He then walked round and round the
altar for half an hour or so, muttering words to
them unintelligible; and having at length drawn
three lines of chalk about the altar, and placed
himself upright beside the flame, desired them
to seek a Seer, and he was ready to gratify them
in all their desires. There were in the old
days, whole schools of magicians here in Eu
rope, who could do nothing in this line without
the intervention of a pure Seer— to wit, a maid
en’s eye. This African belongs to the same
fraternity—he made them understand that noth
ing could be done until a virgin eye was placed
at his disposal. He bade them to go out in the
streets of Cano, and fetch up any child they
fancied, under ten yeais of age. They did so;
and after walking about lor half an hour, se
lected an Arab boy, not apparently above eight,
whom they found playing at marbles. They
bribed him with a few halt-pence, and took him
then to the studio of the African Roger Bacon.
The child was much frightened at the smoke
and the smell, and the chatter and the mutter
ing—but by and by he sucked his sugar candy,
and recovered his tranquility, and the magician
made him seat himself under a window—the
only one that had not been darkened, and pour
ed about a table spoonful of some black liquid
into the boy’s right hand, and bade him hold the
hand steady, and keep his eye fixed upon the
surface of the liquid, and then resuming his
old station by the brazier, sung out for several
minutes on end—what do yon see? Allah bis
millah—avl'.at do you see? lllala Resoul Al
lah! What do you see ? All the while the
smoke curler, up faster and faster. Presently
the lad said, “ Bimillah!" I see a horse—a
a horseman—l see two horsemen—l see three—
-1 see four—five—six—l see sEven horsemqn.
and the seventh is a Sultan." “Has he a flag?”
cries the magician. “He has three,” answered
the boy. “Tis well,” says the other, “now halt!”
and with that he laid his stick right across the
fire, and standing upaddressed the travellers in
these words: “Name your name—be it ot those
that are upon the earth, or of those that ate be
neath it; be it Frank, Moor, Turk, or Indian,
prince or beggar, living and breathing, or re
solved into the dust ot Adam, 3000 yeais ago—
speak; and this boy shall behold and’ describe.”
The first name was William Shakspeare.
The Magician made three teverences towards
the window, waved his hand nine times, sung
out something beyond their interpretation, and
at length called out, “Boy, whatdo you behold?"
“The Sultan alone remains’” said the child—
“and beside him I see a pale faced Frank—but
not dressed like these Franks—with large eyes,
a pointed beard, a' tall hat, roses on his shoes,
and a short mantle!” The other asked for
Francis Arouet de Voltaire, and the boy imme
diately described a lean, old, yellow faced Frank,
with a huge brown wig, a nutmeg grater pio
file, spindle shanks, buckled shoes, and a gold
snuff box!” Lord Pi udhoe now n lined Arch
deacon Wrangham, and the Arab boy made an
swer, and said, “I perceive a tall, gray-haired
Frank with a black silk petticoat, walking in a
garden with a book in his hand. He is reading
on the book—his eyes are bright and gleaming;
his teeth are white—he is the happiest looking
Frank I ever beheld,” Major Felix now named
a brother of his, who is in the cavalry of the
East India Company, in the presidency of Ma
dras. The Magician signed, and the boy again
answered. “I see a led haired Frank, with a
short red jacket, and white trowsers. He is
standing by the sea shore, and behind him there
is a black man it; a turban, holding a beautiful
horse richly caparisoned.” “Godin Heaven!”
cried Felix. “Nay,” the boy resumed, “this is
an odd Frank—he has turned round uhile you
are speaking, and, by Allah! lie has but one
arm!” Upon this the Major swooned away.—

of Gen. Wool, Major Baker and clheroffiecrs of
the army, the shells being loaded with a compo
sition which v.'. j lode.- them at the instant of strik

The Journal thus describes one of their experi
ments.
A 24 pounder howitzer was placed on one
side of a hollow and a taiget on lhe opposite
side of the hill, distant, perhaps 251)yards. The
The target composed ot heavy timber, waseight
feet square and thirty -two inches in thickness.
One ofthe projectiles, in appearance precisely’
like a solid ball, wire then placed in the cannoli
and the piece fired. The shot passed through
the upper timber of the taiget and glanced off’,
but irit/iout exploding. A second and third was
made, but witii no better success. It was then
stated by the inventors that in preparing the shot
for tlie day’s experiment they nail changed the
proportions ofthechargeandthey could account
tor their Jailure (the roly one they had met with
in the entire range <f their trials) on no other
ground than the supposition there was too much
powder in the shell to allow the composition lo
take effect. ISeaich was then made for the shot
which had been fired ami two of them were found
unbroken in the side o the opposite hill, it was
proposed to try these shot a second time, and
they were accordingly’ j laceil in the cannon and
in both instances with perlecl success. The
first shot passed .hrough lhe target and exploded
as it rebounded into tlie air, the interval between
the impact anil explosion being neatly a.second.
The second shot si ruck la illy in the'centre of
the target and exploding in about half a-seeond
after impact, tote the taiget into a thousand
fragments.
The effect ol tins single shot upon a large
ship would have ! ecu to ; ink her almost instan
taneously’, and expltxling in or near a body of
troops it would have proved awfully destructive.
This result establishes th ■ <//<', :' , ( .j/ of Messrs.

Mesmerism and tile Snake “Charm.”
Exti act of a letter from a highly respectable
gentleman of Alabama —formerly of this State
—dated,
“hlxHtoN, Perry Co., Ala., Feb. 26, 1843.
“I see from your late papers, that the good
people of tour town and Charleston, have all
become Mesmerized. lt is really startling, and,
notwithstanding the lushly respectable array ot
names insist, in this matter
at all events, that‘seeing is believing.’ I was
reading the account the other day in my office,
when Mr. A W ,* an old friend, and a
most excellent and truthful citizen, having
heard what 1 read, related a snake stonj as
confirmatory of the fact of a perfect sympathy
between the Mestnefizer and Mesmerizee. As
the story goes 'o prove the identity of what is
usually called ‘charming’ (by snakes)and Mes

recital of it.
that many years ago, he was trav

a rattlesnake. The road was narrow, and it is
important to say the snake was on the right
hand. Mr. W—— dismounted, and procured a
stick to kill the snake, struck it a bl w so as to
disable i’, and to his a tnnishment, heard a par
tridge flutter on the left hand side ofthe road, at
the instaid the blow was inflicted on the snake.
The partridge was eight or ten feet from the
snake, a d he immediately went lo it and pick
ed it up, intending to secure it first, and then
dispatch the serpent. He recollected, however,
having heard that the chai mon the bird was
communicable, by contact with it, to any other
living animal, and deposited it in the place
whence he had taken it, and resumed his ‘labor
of love’ on the ‘charmer.’ To his great aston
ishment, he obsetved that every blow on the
snake seemed to tell on the partridge, which
fluttered at every one; and as the woi I; of death
progressed with the snake, it seemed to proceed
pari passu with the bird. When the snake wti
thed, the bird fluttered, and v. hen the snake was
dead, the bird absolutely fell mt its side, made
sundry gapes, and expired almost simultaneous

AND AN INDIAN TRADITION CONCIIKMNO IT.
At almost every step, in this part of Florida,
are to be found traces of the old Spanish settle
ments which some hundred and filly, or two
hundred years ago, were scattered over a great
portion of this Territory. Here are to be seen
extensive fortifications, with portions of tliejr
walls still standing— lheie, embankments, en
trenchments, and gatewaysw-alj easily to bedis
tiuguisbed, though overgrown with the loftiest
pines or oaks, and wherever the soil isdisturb
ai or thrown up the signs of strife and warfare
—gun barrets, broken swords, mingled with the
bones of horse an 1 mail. Anon we come upon
I the ruin of some sttberban residence of brick
or tubby, still surrounded with the vigorous,
though old and venerable live oaks, with their
long streamers of moss, all planted with great
regularity, so as tolbrm avenues, or ornament
al shades to the dwelling ofthe people of a
bye gone century, Deeply worn roads may
also be traced rutiujpg through the country in
all direetimis.
About two miles west of the cjty of Talla
hassee, lie the ruinsuf what tradition says was
once the Spanish Fort Mt. Louis. Our atten
tion has been recently directed to these ruins,
Hom the circumstance, that;; very intelligent
gentleman, formerly ol Georgia, now of AJaba-
I ma, has at this time, many laborers engaged in
excavating lhe site <X' till ; eld tort, on a search
alter hidden treasuiq-. Whether or no he may
succeed in bringing to light any considerable
deposits of the preejous meials, is not lot us to
say. But lie has already thrown up from he
neaththe soil, wberethey had long been entom
bed. mhny articles vhich will po-sess great in
terest with lhe antiquarian.
There has longerisfed a popular belief, that
beneath the ruins of many ol' these old finds,
lie concealed uttuli of the wealth ol the past
age—large hordes of prccimi: metal'. 'l'hi
belief has been gallieiec. Ittni lhe traditimi-cur
rent among the Indian-, as well as from the lew
historical facts which remain, of tire condition
otjhe Spanish inhabitants, who Ibr more than
a hundre I years, flourished in this section ol the
country. That they were wealthy, is evident
from w!.: t r< mains of their dwellings, their for
l tification , their orange groves, their extensive
plantatii a - —the signs of which may yet be tra
ced. The Gulf coast of I'l jrida, was long the
favoiiw icro;', her bays and itiiets, but lit
tle known io re: tof the’ wot Id, long coniinu
ed to be the.-life Jftreat —of that bold, dcsper

elii .was. It w..-1*...;: court that theymew
their main supplies; and when driven from the
ocean, it was her? in these unknown regions,
that they sought safetv. And according to tra
dition, it was to the Spanish forts and settle
ments along the coast, that they carried much
of their blood-stained wealth, which they’ had
gathered by piracy, from the four corners ol the
earth. /
Under the feebje government of Spain , there
was no authority; perhaps no disposition—witit 7
in this distant colony—to bring the freebooters
to justice. Indeed Florida for a long period,
seems to have been as much forgotten by her pa
rent government, as she was unknown to all the
world beside. And if the connexion of the set
tlpuj.etjts with the’ bticcanecis, is such as some
traditions have represented it to be—it may be
presumed, flrey, tijemsclve.’, did pot care to make
tjteir copdiiiop mpre exteiisively known.
Al what precise period this Spanish race
ceased to occupy tjje pountry, is not now exact
ly known. Fi'>ui tbp grow th of tlie oaks arid
the pines above their former dwellings, it may
be supposed that it was much over a hundred
years ago. That they wcredriven forth by war,
by violence, and with a bloody hand, is evident
from the marks which they left behind them.—
The traditions current among the Indians, all
tell lhe same story.
Tradition says, that the regions now known
as Georgia, upper South Carolina, and Alaba
ma, poured their Indian hordes into Florida.—
The Spaniards, who were not on the first irrup
tion butchered, retreated to their Forts, andlong
maintained an obstinate and bloody contest
with their savage neighbors. The overwhelm-
however, ofthe savages, al length
proved an over mafch for the discipline, and the
most resolute pufl f out of the
Spaniards. They were driven from SffWg
hold afteranother, or buried themselves beneath
their ruins.
And at length, Old Fort St. Louis became the
last point where the Spaniards could maintain
a foothold, from St. Augustine to Pensacola.
Hither had those who escaped from the slaugh
ter and tlie destruction of other posts, been driv
en—bringing with them their treasures of gold
and silver, their plate and whatever else they
may have had opportunity,or means of remov
ing. But here were they followed by their re
lentless pursuers, hemmed in and beset on all
sides. With unflinehingcourage, the Spaniards
long continued a desparate, though unequa
contest
The imagination ofthe old Indian legend bea

tuwperate men endeuv .re.l i'>, their teswie mi
ring the long siege which followed. But the
tortures ot famine were milled t i the hopeless
ness of their condition. And the enfeebled for
tress listened to the terms ol a truce, which was
proposed by the Chief Watrior of the Indians,
woo seems to have been stiuck witii admiration
of the idomitable courage and the heroic valor
of his enemies. He proposed to them that they
should leave the Country, with 11 their effects
behind them, save only their arms, which as
they had used them like braves, he would not
have them part with.
The proposition was accepted. The Span
iards, alter obtaining a supply of food from their
late enemies, marched out oi the Foil.
Before leaving the Fort, however, they had
watnetl the Indians that they had left behind
them tbeir ‘‘Grcal. Mediiine," and that it would
be certain death for any Indian to enter the Fort
until the shadow of the trees turned eastward,
or before the lapse of six hours from their de
parture. Saying this the Spaniards took up
their march for the Ocklockney Bay, where
they had information, or supposed, were some
vessels, on which they might be transported to
St. Augustine of Pensacola. Hardly, however,
had lhe Spaniards disappeared from tlie Fort,
when the Indians, urged on by their cupidity or
their curiosity, and having perhaps little respect
for the Great Medicine ofthe Spaniards, rushed
into the evacuated Fort by thousands. The en
closure was filled, crowded, wi'h lhe wondering
and admiring savages, their warriors, their wo
men and their children; when,horrible to relate,
the subterranean magazines exploded, and thou
sands of the poor wretches were buried beneath
the ruins ot Old Fort Saint Louis! Thei
bones may be seen to this day, mingled with the
fragments of broken arms, horse furniture, guns,
swords, and tbe- materials of the overthrown
walls I
UJBut the Indians took a bloody revenge, on
what they believed to be a most treacherous out
rage, on the part of tlie Great Medicine of the
Spaniards. The friends and relatives of those
who perished in the Fort, puisued the retreating
band, fell upon them and slaughtered them to a
man.
This is an Indian tradition, but the facts re
lated, are pretty generally credited. And it is
supposed that the motive which induced the
Spaniards to leave behind them a train to fire the
mag.'zine, was to conceal by the misplaced earth
and fallen walls, the entrance to those subter
ranean apartments, where they had concealed
their treasures, and which they intended on
some future day to reclaim.
But it is said'he Indians ever since, and to
this day. have a most awful dread ofthe Great
Medicine of Old St. Louis, who gave to them
such a terrible and signal display of his ven
geance, on this memorable occasion. We have
been assured by old settlers, who came to the
country when the Indians inhabited it in great
numbers, that no one was ever known nor could
be induced, by any consideration, to approach
within a mile ofthe old ruin. Such was his
superstitious dread ot the mysterious power of
the Great Medicine. — Tiilluhassec Star.
Tin: Glaci.irum, na Skating Pond.—The
“Glaeiarum” is the indoor skate-house which
has been frequently mentioned in the English
journals as the pr oject of Mr. Kirk, ot London,
for tlie benefit ol the lovers of the invigorating
and graceful pastime of skating. The projec
tor, it seems, has been entirely successful in
carrying his operations into effect; so much so,
that a private view ol the work has been re
cently given at its location in Portman Square,
a brilliant co.nj any being assembled. An En
glish joutnal gives the following description of
the Glaciarum as it appeared on the day ofthe
exhibition:
Consisting of3>X)o ft. of artificial ice a frozen
lake extends over the surface ofthe floor, actual
in its veri-similitude with the same thing in na
ture. If it lack any thing in this respect, it is
only the aqueous transparency of the original
body, which here, perhaps, assumes the appear
ance of a dense marl, over which the snowdrift
seems to have passed.
This smooth expanse receives the sKate ad
mirably. Fastening on the polished steel, you
can run a race with wing-looted Mercury up
and down its extent; or if inclined to more cour
teous movement, pursue tbe revolutions of the
dance, or lhe animated gesture of the gymnast.
Absolute security also is its undeniable charac
teristic. The separation from peril only by two
inch brittle crystal—the dread of immersion in
unknown tlepths, have no place in the thoughts
of a Glaciuruin skater. In truth, all the recom
inendatoiy qualities of the sport attach to his
pleasure, devoid of drawback. Ftee, 100, from
assailance of the weather, no sleet spits in his
face, no east wind chills him to the bone, but
he glides along in mirth and recreation, with
the thermometer at spring temperature, while
beneath him, spreads for sport, the winter ice
of tie Arctic.
Mr. Kirk stands a fair chance of depopulating
the parks. Chemistry has made him acquaint
ed with a substance no less singular than novel.
An amalgamation chiefly composed ol carbon
ates of soda, having, subsequently to its Itquid
state, tinttergone a rapt t erysiaitzaiioii, lias en
abled him to lay down a species ot extensive
ice-plant smooth as a metal mirror.
The ensemble of the gallery or apartment is
rendered complete in detail by its cast of orna
mental design. One side of lhe room is barri
caded! off by railings for.spectators. Alpine
scenery enriches the other three. From the
base or borders ofthe lake rise grottoes, decorat
ed like Calypso’s. Beyond these and forming
portions of the landscape, spiry steeple, Swiss
avberge, and low-thatched cottage. Further in

TO Tifl-2 CiTIZENS OF THK SOUTH.
rpHE GENUINE BRANDRETH
JL PILi.S have, in all cases in which they
have been used, fully sustained their high char
acter. In the East and West Indies, in Russia,
TurHey and China, the Brandreth. Pills are ex
tensively patronized,. The same may be said of
Mexico and tliroughout South America. I have
recently received one order for eighty thousand
boxes, from tho Gor er nor us a Colony of Portu
gal in tiie East- Indies. He had used the Bran
drelh Pilis in Madeira, by the advice of the very
Reverend, the Canon, Thomas Tolentino de Sil
va, my agent at Funchal, and found them so ex
cellent as an anti-bilious physic and purifier of
the blood, that he became, after much experience
of their beneficitd properties, one of their best and
strongest advocates, and has now introduced them
into the Colony of which he is the appointed Go
vernor by the Government of Portugal. Thus
the Brandreth Pills continue to have the sphere
of their usefulness extended.
In the Eastern States of North America, and
in Great Britain, no medicine was ever in such
universal use as the Brandreth Pills. High and
influential individuals often purchase them io ad
minister to the poor. In every place where they
have been introduced, and where no rilsitnUatlon
of them has been sold, their reputation has con
stantly increased, and the circle of their useful
ness enlarged. They are conceded to be the best
purgative, the best anti-bilious and the most cer
tain purifier of the blood known. The. cures they
have performed in chronic diseases, where hope
had tied, is beyond belief.
As a general family medicine, especially in the
South, their value is incalculable. By having the
Brandreth Pills always on hand, should a sud
den attack of sickness take place, they can be gi
ven nt once, and will often have effected a cure
before the physician could have arrived, m v n<>-
lic and intiumaliuii of the bowels, these Pills will
at once relieve, and perseverance in their usp,
according to the directions, will surely do all that
medicine cun da to restore the health of the pa
tient. In diseases arising from the use of mer
cury, or from any cause of vitiation, from bad
blood or otherwise, their use will produce the most
happy results. In all attacks of Rheumatism, in
Erysiphilas, Sult liheum, and in cases of chronic
or recent the use of.the Brandreth
Pills will be productive of infinite service; some
times being productive of so great a change for
the better, as to occasion great thankfulness. In
all cases of indigestion, worms, astinna, diseases as
the heart, and in all affections of the and
bowels, the Brandreth Pills will be found a ne
ver-failing remedy,
To insure the full benefit of these celebrat’ d
Pills, they should be kept in the house, so that
upon the first commencement of sickness they
may beat once, resorted to; one dose then is bet
ter than a dgzen after the disease has become es
tablished in the system.
The Brandreth Pills are purely vegetable,
and so innocent that the infant n 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 duringall the critical periods
of their lives; —the Buandhe j n Pill, wjll insure
their health, and produce, regularity in all the func
tions "Os Ijfe.
Be careful qf counterfeit Pill;. How to aioid them.
No. I Securitv.
Each Agi-nt who sells the genuine Brandreth
Pills, has a Certificate of Agency, which has
been engraved at a vast expense. It represents
the manufactory at .Sing Sing, ori the banks of
the Hudson River, and is signed by Dr. Brandreth,
and his seal stumped upon the paper.
No. 2—Security.
Arqve all, obseive the labels upon the boxes;
Each box of th genuine Brandreth’s Pills has
now three labels upon it. The top and th<* bot
tom label cont.tinin/ upwards of five thousand
letters in red ink; the words Beniamin Bran
dbath’s Pill:- being printed orer two hundred
times upon the two labels.
No. 3—Security.
There are also upon each label two signatures
of Dr. Brandreth—one ‘ B. Biandeth,” and also
one “Benjamin Brandreth.” Each box, there
fore, to be genuine, must have six signatures of
Dr, Brandreth upon it. If ’he box do not an
swer this discription, the Pills are not the Bran*
dreth Pills, but some vile counterfeit of them, as
all th .• old labelled boxes have been collected.
Besides th * above signa of genuineness fac
similes oft-ie Branhbeth Pill labels are upon
the Certificate of Agency; therefore comp-ue
your box with the labels or. the certificate; if it
agrees the Pills are true, if it does not, they are
false.
I have expended much time, and a- least five
thousand <l di:irs, in perfecting these checks to
tlie sale of mnterfeit Pilis, and in the hope they
will secure riv genuine Brandreth Pills to all
who want rii *m.
