Vandewatur’s Water Wheel. We challenge the World to
produce its equal, ft has but recently been Introduced to
the public, and found to be far in advance of all other
wheels, botli In power and economy in water, every drop be
ing effective, and none wasted. This Wheel is not in the
lea«t affected by back water. As we prefer them being
placed below tall water in every instance, consequently we
get every inch of head; they being entirely of cast Iron,
simple of construction, are not liable to get out of order,
and are more durable than any wheel now in use. We
have recently put one in operation for George Schley,
Esq., at his Eelviile cotton factory, to whom we would give
reference. See certificate annexed.
AU orders for Wheels or Territorial Rights, will meet with
attention by addressing the subscribers.

Jagger, Treadwell A Perry—Gentlemenl have the
gratification of informing you that your Vandewater Wheel
wai succt!*Nfully put in operation at my factory last week,
and it worked to perfection. Its simplicity, durability, and
uniformity of speed, are recommendations alone ; but above
all, its highest encomium is the small quantity of water it
takes as compared with other wheels. I have been using
one of Reuben Rich's Centre Vent Wheels, of three feet
and a half <ll an. ter, and eleven Inch bucket, the discharge
openings measuring 400 inches. I displaced that and put
n one of yours of six feet diameter, with discharge open
ngs measuring 2?<> inches, and your wheel run the same
amount of machinery that the filch Wheel had driven, and
here was a difference in favor of yours of eight inches in
lie depth of water in the tail race. I feel no hesitation in
ecominendingyour wheel to all manufacturers and mill
wners, believing it Is the greatest wheel of the age. Willi
ng you success in the introductnn of so valuable an im

epilp; subscribers invite the attention of Farmers, and
1 ail others interested In feedinp Stock, to their newiy
inrenied CUTTER, which they confidently offer to the pub
lic as the most durable and effective Cutting Machine ever
used.
The Machine (except the legs and hopper) is made en
tirely of Iron and Steel, thus securing the important de
sideratum of durability ; and teeing temple in its construc
tion, there is but little liability to getout of order.
Tile Knives are nineteen in number, of fine Cast Bteel,
with a cutting edge of thirty-seven and a halt feet; they
work against nothing hut the material to be cut, therefore,
they do not wear out the Machine or soon become dull;
and when necessary they can he sharpened in five minutes
without removing them from the shaft.
With these Machines the cutting of food for a large stock
is hut the work of a few minutes, and with them can be cut
Hay, Straw, Fodder, Corn-Stalks, Pea-Vines, Turnips,
Pumpkins, and all such food as Is used for Stock, and with
such rapidity as is truly astonishing.
An inspection will convince all of its great superiority,
and all interested will be pleased with this great improve
ment in Agricultural Implements.
These Cutters are securely boxed, so that they will bear
transixirtation to any distance without injury.

ON READING THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DEATH
OF HENRY CLAY.
“ He died u he had lived, a martyr to hia country and
devoted to her interest*.” — Cooper.
Raise on high the solenm strain,
Bid him welcome home again.
Hero, patriot and sage,
Combatant of Faction’s rage.
In the thousand victories b ught, %
By the life of him who fought,—
Bid him from the scene of toil,
Welcome to his native soiL
Raise the shout of triumph high
O’er his last great victor. ;
When the dust returned to earth,
But to give the spirit birth
To the flowery fields of fame.
Where the glory of hia name
Lends new lustre to the biace
Os the stars of otaen days.
Raise on high the solemn strain, •
Bid him welcome home again,
Lay his name in kindred dust,
*l'is the birthplace of the juat—
Plant it there in mortal guise,
And immortal it will rise
A beacon star to guide the way
Os erring nations when they stray.
Crown him not with earthly bays,
“ Fading monuments of praise,”
Place no laurel on his brow.
Laurel were a mockery now
*. To hia spirit in its flight
Through the eternal fields of light
Brighter than the evening star
Lighting up the earth from far.
Raise no monumental stone,
He hath never needed one—
Living, every eye was turned
Where the blazing beacon horned—
Dead, a nation’s love still clings
’Neath the shadow of his wings—
Graved in hearts his name shall be.
And time shall yield to memory.
Lay him in his place of rest.
Plant an oak upon his breast,
And when autumn's glowing hand
Fhukes the acorns from their hands
Gather up the seeds they yield.
Plant them in the lawns and field.
And let their shadows sacred be
To him and worth and purity.

The Letter from Home.
Standing in the Post Office avenuo a few days
since, I saw a young man perusing with a smiling
t'ucc a letter he had just taken from the office. As
I glanced at the page, the worda “Dear Brother,”
met my eye. Here then was a letter from a “Sis
ter !" That smiling lace was indicative of a smi
ling heart. “Home, sweet home” with all its hal
lowed associations, were clustering around the
heart, and crowding the memory, and venting
themselves through the sparkling eye, and anima
ted countenance ol that young stranger. Ho was
not the only on i that derived pleasure from that
letter. Although 1 knew not a syllable it contain
ed further than that of “Dear Brother,” yet I
felt that a kind and gentle influence wus diffusing it
itself from a sacred page that would tendto warm in
to new life and action, the love of home and home
joys. Here, thought lis one oftlic strongbulwarks
that surround and protect the multitude of young
men that throng our city, from the snares and temp
tations that everywhere beset them. On the wings
of every mail is borne from every direction the
gentle admonition and kind greetings of a virtu
ous sisterhood, backed by the strong warning voice
and council of parental love.
I would that these messages of love woro multi
plied an hundred fold; and they would ho so mul
tiplied, if all were aware ot the restraining influ
ence they have on the minds and morals of young
men. Tliere uro hundreds of this class who leave
their pleasant homes in the country, where they
have enjoyed from childhood the Boeicty of virtu
ous females—mothers, sistors, friends—who among
strangers scarcely know the luxury of a smile of
recognition from a female. None but those who
have experienced this desolation of heart, and
longing for the hearty greeting of the home circle,
can fully realize the value of the friends they leave
behind. Next to thereal enjoyment of home it
self, is that of a kind, familiur and constant corres
pondence, between its several members. This
should nover be neglected, or its consequence
lightly considered. Let sisters especially, who
have brothers floating on the wide sea of tempta
tion, boor tliis in mind, that their restraining in
fluence, when properly directed, is almost bound
less. How many young men who ltavo wandered
from their homes and become rough and uncouth
in their manners for the want ot the refinements of
home, which are denied them among st rangers will
speak with honest pride of their pretty sisters at
home. Rough as they arc, they would not disgrace
their sisters by a dishonorable act.
Sisters, cherish your brothers then, as you
would your own virtues. Throw around them the
gentle restraininginfluenee of sistor afl'ection, and
especially when absent from yon, cheer them often
with tokens of remembrance from your pen, and
by so doing the smilingcountcnanco of your hap
py brother may silently diffuso a ray of sunshino
to the heart of an unknown.— Bangor Courier.
Tub Manufacture of Wood Gas. —A late num
ber of the Allgemoino Zoituug contains some in
teresting details in regard to lighting the oity of
Munich with gas made from wood:
Tlie contract between the magistrates a,id the
Coal Gas Campany provides that a regular flame
shall bo rendered, consuming four and a half cu
bic feet of gas in an hour, and giving light equal to
seven wax candles, of four to tbo pound. The
wood gas", with a flame of the above description,
produces a light equivalent to that of eleven wax
caudles of the same size. Upon this, and in order
to sltow thut tlio coal gas was preferable to the
wood gas, a flame of coal gas was shown to the
commission which gave a light equivalent to twen
ty-four of the wax candles. Such a capacity for
giving light, under tlie most favorable circumstan
ees, is the same as of a good oil gas, but never that
of coal gas of the usual quality. The coal fas
which is generally nsed in tugland is equal to nine
wax candles, with a flame consuming four and a
half cubic feet in an hour. The coal gas used in
Munich lias been repeatedly examined, Doth by the
commission and by other intelligent individuals,
but its power has never boon found to exceed that
often wax candles. It would not bo difficult, by
using n very hard wood, or other processes, to ob
tain a wood gas equal to oil gas; hut it would not
bo correct to tako this as the general power of
wood gas. Another advantage of the wood gas is
its entire freedom from sulphur. Every city, even
the smallest one—nay, every village—can avail it
self of the benefit of an admirable mode «f illumin
ation at a small expense for the first fixtures. It is
irobable that, before many years, in such cities as
Iremen and Hamburg, where the best English coal
is easily obtained, coal gas will be entirely super
seded by wood gas, ivasmuch as all the collateral
products of the manufacture are valuable and com
mand a sale in any quantity. Tlie residuary coal
is nearly equal in value to tfie wood; tlie tar is far
superior to that of coal, and cannot bo replaced by
it for painting; and the vinegar always commands
a high price. In point of national economy, the
manufacture of wood gas has a special importance,
as it partly takes the place of burning charcoal in
pita, in which process the gas, tlie tar ana the vine
gar are lost.
Clerical Controversies. —The N. Y Courier &
Enquirer, in some very judicious remarkh upon
tho quarrel which has recently sprung up between
the Kev. Messrs. Beecher, and Parker, in regard
to Mrs. Stowo’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” thus speaks
of clerical controversies:
“The acerbity of our clerical controversies is
getting to be one of the flagrant evils of the day. Il
s to be found every where among churches of all
denominations. Os all men in tho world, clergy
men are the most indisposed to make concessions.
Their very profession accustoms them to regard
every thing from an absolute point of view, and
they are but too apt to carry their dogmatism down
to the pettiest trines. Go to a business meeting of
any of our religious conventions, and you will And
hours wusted in the settlement of some minor point
which one of our legislative bodies would dispose
ot in as many minutes. Look over our religious
newspapers, even those ofthesame denomination,
and in very many of them you find incessant
wrangling aud bickering, such as none of our high
er class of secular papers would indulge in for any
cause. Kot a week passes that we do not see in
some of our religious exchanges specimens of per
verse pettifogging, that would actually ciscredit a
forty shilling lawyer. This evil has grown to be
of such magnitude that many most enlightened
and sound-judging Chritiaus doubt whether it
were not better that all religious newspapers should
at ouee ccaso to exist. W e surely would not wish
them such a fate, but we would fain crave them to
set their weak brethren of the world a better ex
ample.”
tV asiiington Factobv. —Of tliis factory in New
ark, N. J. a late paper from that place says:
A very interesting and curious manufacuring
process is executed at the Washington Factorv,
occupied by Mr. John Garside. It consists in
turning miniature busts, statuetes and medalions
from marble aud ivory, by machinery, which is
similar in principle to’Blanchard’s patent last ma
chine, any number of repetitions of the same pat
tern bcingjpossible. Busts and medallious of Clay
Webster, Washington, Victoria and others made
in this manner of marble and ivory, can be f ur
'nished at comparatively small cost. Mr. Gareide is
we believe, the only person either in this country
or England, who has applied the machinery to this
object, and the superiority of these productions, in
beauty and durability, to those made of the com
mon plaster of Paris, whicliare so frequently seen,
is obvious.
Mr. G. also carries on extensively the manufac
ture pf fine table cutlery, with ivory, pearl, silver,
aud other kinds of handles, which are turned out
by this machinery, making a very superior article
said to be cheaper than those imported which arc
made by hand, and require a degree of skill and
considerable labor. The handles can be made after
any fanciful design, and medallions at the same
time worked upon them in solid ivorv, a very novel
aud tasteful article being thus produced. ' These
manufactures have received high commendations,
and with the nuerousothertrinmphsofingenuity
and energy in our city, are exceedingly creditable
to us as a manufacturing community.’
Successful Trxatmext of Cholera. —Now that
the cholera is so rapidly extending over the con
tinent of Enrope, every fact connected with suc
cessful modes of its treatment is extremely valua
ble. In German wand Austria the hot air bath has
been call into requisition by some eminent medi
cal gentlemen when patients have become too
weak for the administration of medicine internally,
and in the majority of cases where this has been
done it appears, according to accounts published
in the German newspapers, that a speedy recove
ry has followed, even notwithstanding symptoms
of the worst character had presented themselves,
and threatened a fatal termination. Os course the
air is previously impregnated with medicinal pro
perties of sufficient stre run h to act powerfully on
the system. There is, unfortunately, a great dislike
amongst medical practitioners in this country to
the old beaten track, even though new modes of
treatment are proved to be both efficacious, and in
skillful hands, free from danger; but it is to be
hoped that the above simple plan will not be loet
sight of, if this frightful disease should once more
devastate our population. Already the hot air
bath has been successfully brought into requisi
tion by Dr. Green, of London, hut at present he
seems to he the only individual connected with
his profession in the metropolis who practically
advocates the system. The Germans, perhaps,
claim the merit of the discovery, but the young
surgeon of an English vessel sailing to Calcutta
and Java as long as 1880 cured several sailors and
passengers, as well as the capttin himself, by hot
baths and friction; bnt he died about a twelve
month after, before he had an opportunity of ma
king known the wonderful and potent effect of
this valuable agency. —London Nsn, ISfA vU.

Tlie United States .Metallic Currency.
Prior to 1821, there were no official records of the
imports and export* of the precious metals. The
amount coined in the United States up to that pe
riod was, in round numbers, $7,500,000 in gold,
and $10,900,000 in silver; but then, as now, nearly
all the circulating coin was the Spanish frictional
piece*. The amount of specie then in the country
was estimated at about $3o,0“0,000.
A tabular statement in the U. S. Economist,
furnishes the following exhibit of imports and ex
[K>rta of gold and silver coin and bullion from Oc
tober Ist, 1820, to June Both, 1851:
GOLD.
Imports . Erjioris. EecesslmpU.
Coin *89.231,867 *38,704,830 *59,506,537
Bullion 6,304,822 524,811 5,730,511
TotaL...* *95,536,189 (30,249,141 *56,287,048
SILVER.
Imports. Exports. Excess Impt*.
Coin *162.351,544 *155,007,617 *24,343,929
Bullion 11,015,473 1,170,796 9,546,691
Total *173,867,024 *139,178,413 *84,138,620
Although by tlie figures the export of silver has
been ten per cent, more than tne import in the
last ten years, yet it is maintained by writers on
finance that tne stock of silver has undergone
no diminution. The reason i*, that large quanti
ties come in the pockets of emigrants, which is re
turned on the manifests when re-exported.
The total supply of American gold deposited at
all the mint* up to July 31,1852, was—From Cali
fornia, $129,706,818, and from other mines, $16,-
219,438; making a total of $145,976,251. This,
added to the net import, makes the supply of gola
amount, since 1820, to $202,263,299.
The exports of coin from the United States, from
1821 to June, 1851, were $39,574,857, and, for the
year ending July, 1852, tbev were about $35,000,-
000. *
The total United States coinage, down to 1852,
was $272,236,969; and, in the same period, tliere
were exported, as coin, $74,874,357, which gives
an increase of nearly two hundred millions of dol
lars of United States coin since 1821.
The gold coin ge, since 1821, was much larger
than the domestic supply of the metal—as follows:
Domestic supply of gold, 1821 to 1852 *145,976,251
Excess imports of gold 56,287,048
Total supply, 1821 to 1352 *202,263,299
Total coinage, 1821 to 1852 *204,699,516
The reason why the coinage has exceeded the
whole supply is, that much gold in the form of
jewelry and ornaments has been melted at the
mint, and emigrants have brought supplies which
do not appear in official returns. As for foreign
coin, notwithstanding the small supply of it, a*
evinced by the official returns of importation, it is
remarked that oar markets are well supplied with
it.
Messrs. Crawford and Gallatin estimated that
there were $80,000,000 of specie in the country in
1820. This sum, added to the increased coinage
as above, would show that the specie now in the
country is not short of $230,000,000.
Tlie lion. Daniel Webster in 1835, in his speech
on the Sub-Treasury, estimated the coin in the
country at $80,000,000, since which it ha* increased
$150,000,000, not including the bullion circulating
as money in California. From 1832 to 1852 the
number of whites in the United States has doubled,
which would require an addition of some $80,000,-
000 in specie, in order that the relative wealth and
trade of the country may remain the same. But
the productive wealth of the country, its industry
and traffic, are very much more per head than they
were in 1880. Tlius the exports of domestic pro
duce from the country were $6 per head in 1830,
aud $lO per head in 1851: tlie imports were $7 per
head at the former period, and are now sll per
head. The property which came via the New Y ork
canals to tide water was under $10,000,000 in 1880,
and was $55,000,000 in 1851. The production of
coal and iron rose from nothing to $20,000,000, and
it is about the same with sugar in Louisiana. Tiie
production of cotton has increased from 1,000,000
bales to over 3,000,000. The railroad and canal
traffic lias increased $30,000,000 per annum, re
quiring a large currency. Manufactures and all
other trades have more than quadrupled.
Under all these circumstances, if, ut $8 per head,
money was far from abundant in 1830, its relative
abundance would not now be increased at sl2 per
bead, which would give about the amount now es
timated in the ceuntry, viz: $240,000,000. But tlie
increase in population, the extension of railroads,
and the development of natural wealth, nre grow
ing with a more rapid pace than ever, and a pro
portional increased demand for currency must at
tend those circumstances for a long time to come.
There is a want of money which is yet fur from be
ing satisfied.—Sav. Rep.
French Steam Marine.— A Paris letter of the
15th ult., in the N. Y. Commercial, lias the follow
following interesting statements:
The Constitutionnel bas a long article upon
steam navigation from the timo of Pulton to the
present day. Tlie object of tlie article is to show
the success with which the attempt* made by the
French engineers have been attended, to adapt
steam power to first rate men-of-war. The results
are sucit as must put other maritime nations upon
their mettle. The first adaptation was made some
years ago, by the putting of a screw engine into
the forty-gun frigate “ Pomona." The success was
such as stimulated to further trials. The next was
the famous “ Charlemagne ,” of Dardauelle celebri
ty, making ten and eleven knots an hour easily aud
currying 70 guns. Then came the magni'fiocut
“Napoleon ” tne flag ship of the approaching ex
cursion upon tlie Mediterranean. This vcssol will
steam thirteen knots under favorable circumstan
ces, and has made an average of twelve knots du
ring a run of 200 miles. Without the aid of her
screw blio sails as fast as the best mau-of-warof the
fleet; she carries provisions and water for two
months for 800 meu, and coal for nine days.
Lastly comesthe “ Auslerliti ,” to bo launched to
day, I believe, at Chaubourg. She is in all re
spects, the mate and consorffof tlie Charlemagne. —
In short, the adaptation of the screw to vessels of
war, has been thus far in France eminently success
ful. The groatscrew steamer of the English com
mercial marine, the Great Britain, occasionally
sends us news of her marvellous progress over the
seas. She had made eleven knots at the latest
date, and when last seen, was carrying clouds of
canvass. The Constitutionnel concludes with a
hope that war will never break out between En
gland and France, but with an intimation that if it
should, London might well shake in its shoes; for
with such steamers as tho Napoleon, the troops ne
cessary for an attack could easily bo transported
across the channel, aud once upon dry land, the
Frenchman always fights with the chances on his
side.
Indigestion.— Amoug the papersread at tho last
sitting ofthe Academy 'of Sciences at Paris, was
ono by M. C’orvisart, the great nephew of the cele
brated man of that name, on the improvement of
the digestion of persons of weak stomachs by tlie
use of the gastric juice taken from nuimals. A
great deal has been said and written on this sub
ject ; but as yet, we have vory few, if any, proofs
of the efficacy of the means as a general plan of
treatment, although there may have been eases in
whicli the gastric juice taken from the bodies of
slaughtered domestic animals may have been used
by man with temporary advantage. Nor docs M.
Corvisart furnish any practical proofs of the cor
rectness of his theory. He contents himself with
discussion; but appears to liavo no doubt in his
own mind that indigestion in the human stomach
arises entirely from the want of a sufficient quanti
ty of gastric juice, and that if the deficiency were
supplied from the sources of which ho speaks, the
digestion would be perfect. As this gastric juice,
in its natural state, is of a taste and appearance
which would be repulsive to most patients, M. Cor
visart has proposed that it shall bo reduced to the
state or powder, paste, &c., aud mixed with the
aliments.— Galignani.

A New Styptic.—A Pharmaeien, at Rome, Sig.
Pagliarc, has recently succeeded in discovering a
liquid possessing so extraordinary a powerof coag
ulating blood, that if to a large basin containing
this fluid, one drop of the styptic be added, com
plete solidification ensues, so that the basin may
be inverted without causing any blood to be lost.
The following is itsjpreparation: Take eight ounces
of gum benzoin, one pound of alum, ana ten pints
of water. Bo l all together, for the space of eight
hours, in an earthenware glazed vessel, froquently
stirring the mess, and adding water sufficient to
make up the original quantity of that lost by ebul
lition, taking care, however, to add the water so
gradually that boiling may not be suspended. The
liquid portion of the compound is now to be strain
ed off, and preserved in well corked bottles.
A Notel Mistake.—Quite an amusing scene
took place in Hanover-st., last evening, a little be
fore dark, which was richly enjoyed by the few
who were so fortunate as to witness it. It seems
that a young man, clerk in an embroidery store on
that street, saw his father riding past in a carriage,
and wishing to see him very much rushed out in
pursuit of the vehicle. In the course of his run
he accidentally struck with his hand the skirt of a
gentleman’s coat. The gentleman thought tliat
his pocket had been picked, and without stopping
to ascertain that fact he immediately ran after the
supposed thief at a rapid rate. The’ race was long
and nobly contested, but the clerk reached his fa
ther’s vehicle—got in with him—and drove off.
not conscious of the fact that he had been pursued
as a supposed pickpocket. The gentleman, baffled
in his attempt to catch his prisoner, was about to
depart from the spot, when he happened to put
his hand in his coat pocket, where no founch his
money all safe. He gave one long acclamation on
making this discovery, and immediately left amid
the boisterous laughs of the bystanders, who
liad seen the fun. —Boiton Chronicle.
Importation or Rattlesnakes.—Among the ex
traordinary arrivals with which we have Been late
ly favored from America, none perhaps has excited
more sensation than the importation into Liver
pool of 86 rattlesnakes, which came over in two
large cases accompanied by their owner. M’Van
Gordon, who caught them on the Alleghany
Mountains. Some difficulty existed on board in
keeping the cases from being “broached,” as the
ship ran short of water, and the sailors hearing a
fizzing noise inside the cases thought they contained
bottled porter. Another difficulty arose at the
custom-house; but the owner, having given liv
ing proof that the reptiles were not included in
any prohibitorv tariff they were allowed to pass
tree of duty.— Eng. Paper.
Duet on Railroads.—We noticed on Saturday
the purpose of the Philadelphia and Baltimore
Railroad Company to cover the ground of their
track with gravel, in order to obviate the annoy
ance of dust. We have since been informed, as
the result of experiment elsewhere, that such an
appliance is not very reliable for the purpose, but
that a thin coating' of oyetcr-eKeUt, laid as far as
possible with the outside up, is a nearly complete
remedy. Roofing slates answer still better; but
for the railroad in question oyster-shells are very
accessible, while slates are not. With such a cov
ering to the ground, and attention paid to the due
sweeping and dusting of the cars, and beating of
the floor mats—matters either neglected altogether
or but imperfectly attended to ui America—after
each trip, this grevious annoyance to passengers
would cease, or at least be vastly abated-—.Reft.

Arrival of the Crescent City from Havana.
The U. 8. mail steamship Crescent City, Lient.
D. D. Porter, commander, arrived this morning
from New Orleans, via Havana, in 4 days and 18
hours from the latter port.
The following account of her reception and
treatment while in pon, communicated by one of
the officers of the snip, will be read with much in
terest.
The Crescent City entered the harbor of Havana
at break of day, and it was supposed, by those on
board, that it was owing to onr not being seen until
we were well inside, that we were not molested.
At sunrise the captain of the port came alongside
and asked for Mr. Smith, who, he was told, wa<
still on board. He then informed Capt. Porter
that, as the ship was in port, no steps would be
tikeu to expel him, but that no communication
would bo allowed with the shore, nor could any
person from the shore be allowed to co ue on
board. Capt. Porter replied that he desired to pro
sent his protest to the American consul, on which
the captain of the port politely offered to get fur
ther orders from the Captain General. In the
meantime he informed Capt. Porter that the ship
might lie in port as long as it suited his purpose,
or he might go to sea when he pleased, as they ac
knowledged no control over her, but she should
not communicate with the shore in any manner.
Such was the Captain General’s order, and guard
boats were placed around the ship, filled with the
usual police for boarding foreign veseela. They
coaid not relish the duty, as the boats had no
awnings and the sun’s rays were very powerful.
When the gong was sounded for breakfast, the
Spanish officers wore politely invited on board.
After breakfast, Capt. Porter ordered the paint
pots to bo brought up add the men were set to
work to paint the ship outside. From this it
.-eemed to be inferred that Capt. Porter intended
to make a protracted stay, for the police boats
were relieved, and two boats with similar crews
were detailed from a frigate to keep guard.
At nine o'clock, the captain of the port return
ed, and informed Capt. PortOthat he would not
be permitted to lay his protest bes ore the Ameri
can consul. Capt". Porter asked of what use a
consul was, if American vessels in difficulty were
not permitted to communicate with him, and nrged
that by all civiliz-d nations a consul was recog
nised as the representative of his country, and the
law of nations entitled citizens to have access to
him. The captain of the port declined entering
into a discussion of the matter, said that he was
exercising no authority of his own, but was acting
entirely under orders. The interview terminated,
and the engineer was ordered to put on the steam,
Captain Porter intending to drop a copy of his
protest on board an American barque and a brig
lying in the lower harbor. As the Crescent City
was about moving, however, word came that M.
Morales (of the house of Drake <fc Co., and the
agent of the Company) had permission to oome
alongside, which he aid in a few minutes, in a
shore boat, accompanied by a Government boat,
in which were three officers.
Mr. Morales suggested that the difficulty could
bo got over by Mr. Purser Smith sending to the
Governor General a written denial of hiß author
ship of the publications coniplsined of. Capt.
Porter refused to permit Mr. Smith to do this, us
he had himself twice disavowed it, which disa
vowals had pot been received ; nor would lie per
mit anv correspondence with the authorities by
any officer on board the Crescent City.. He said
that ho considered it boueath the dignity of the
company to make further explanations.
Capt. Porter also refused, on his part, to hold
correspondence with uny one on this subject, ex
cept through the United States consul. Inquiries
were then made of Capt. Porter respecting the
nature of the communication he wished to send
to the consnl, especially whether it contained a dis
avowal of the charges ogai list Mr. Smith. Capt.
Porter replied that it was a protest, and that it did
refer to the former disavowals of thoso charges
made by him ; adding that the protest itself was
written in plain terms. The object seemed to be
to draw out an apology on the part of Mr. Smith,
which would lead to a settlement of the difficulty.
In this howover they failed, and the Spanish of
ficers, after some discussion among themselves, of
fered to go on shore and see if it was not possible
to get the protest delivered to the consul. This
they thought could be done, if it was first ascer
tained that the document contained nothing offen
sive to the Spanish Government. Captain Porter
denied them information on this point, but they
went on shore, accompanied by Mr. Morales, and
ifter a short time Mr. Morlaud, acting consul came
alongside in a Government boat, accompanied by
the captain of the port, Don. Guillermo Chacon.
The consul was not. however, permitted to come
on board or to send letters by tho Crescent City,
Uapt. Porter personally delivered his protest to
him, and being informed by Mr. Moreland, that
nothing more could bo done, tho Crescent City put
to sea. As she passed the custom house a greut
crowd was assembled to see her departure, but
there was no expression of feeling. The American
flag was of course run up to the lore-topinastJieud
as she passed them. In passing the Moro Castle
the Crescent City fired a single gun.
The following is the protest delivered to tho
American consul by Capt. Porter :
Protest.
Whereas the first article of the treaty of amity
between Spain and the United States declares
“there shall be a firm and inviolable peaco and sin
cere friendship between his Catholic Majesty, his
-successors and subjects and the United States and
the citizens thereof, without exception of persons
or placesand whereas.
Article 6th of the same treaty promises “mutual
assistance and kiudly acts towards tho ships of
either- power, when in the ports of the other,
which engages to defend and protect them to the
extent of jurisdiction, by land or sea,” and article
9th secures the citizons or subjects of each, free
access to the courts of justice of the other in all
cases and provides that all coses be prosecuted by
order and authority of law only, and that the par
ties shall have liberty of counsel and defence.
How far the Spunish authorities in Cuba have
conformed to this treaty is apparent from the fact
that they have arbitrarily and without any form or
process of law, caused a United States steamship,
engaged in tho pursuit of a legitimate and peace
ful business, to be turned from their port on one
occasion, and refused communication on another,
merely for an imputed offence committed in the
territory of the United States, (for which offence,
if actually committed within their own territory
the Spanish authorities had no right to punish i-n
American citizen,) for on two occasions the under
signed lias, in plain terms, denied that Purser
Smith wrote anything againsttheSpanish Govern
ment in the newspapers of the United States.
But tho word of an officer, who has heretofore
eujoyed the confidence of his Government and the
company, it seems has been entirely disregarded
by the Cuban authorities, as if they wore ignerant
of tho polity which governs civilized nutions. On
the contrary, they have pursued a vindictive and
unfriendly course, which must, if persevered in,
inflict great and sorious injurios on the commerce
of the United States, and against which course, as
applied to this ship, or any of the company’s, the
undersigned once more strongly protests.
Tho undersigned begs leave to draw the atten
tion of the Spanish Government in Cuba to tho
fact that the Crescont City sailed from New York
with a large number of Cuban and American pas
sengers on board, every one of whom had with
him a passport from the Spunish consul at New
York, granting permission to sail in tho Crescent
City, for the port of Havana, with a guarantee of
safe landing on tho shores of Cnba. Moreover
that the Spanish consnl at that place #iid not in
form the passengers, or give any notice to tho
United States Mail Steamship Company, that there
was any likelihood of the Crescent City being pre
vented from entering the port of Havana.
It is true that a manifesto was issued to the un
dersigned, but the Company were in no wise bound
by such manifesto, havingperfect right to consider
it the hasty and ill-advised act of a subordinate of
licer, Martin Gallano, (by whom it was signed,)
which act, if persevored in, would interrupt the
friendly intercourse of the two countries; and
which they would likely not respect after the disa
vowal of the imputed offence by the undersigned.
The Spanish authorities in Cuba have, in a most
arbitrary course pursued by them, violated the 1
treaty of amity existing between the two countries;
have inflicted serious injuries on private individu
als and on this company. Interests of a large j
amount are likely to suffer by the non-deliverance '
of tho mails entrusted to the Government officer
of a friendly nation, and the wheels of commerce,
as far ns regards this ship, as entirely at a stand.
Mr. Smith, the officer in question, has been a long
time employed in the company’s service, with the ,
full knowledge and previous countenance of tho '
Spanish authorities who have driven him from
their harbor; and it is a woll known fact that the
undersigned, and those under his command, have
always abstained from any act of interference with
the affairs of the island, either by speech or act,
though it might naturally be supposed that they
coula not help sympathizing with the misfortunes ’
of the unfortunate captives.
In conclusion, tho undersigned takes this oppor
tunity to protest again in the strongest terms
against the indefensible disregard of the treaty of
amity and law of nations, by which American citi
zens are, without notice and legal accusation of
offence, or opportunity offered to defend them
selves, subjected to prescription and severe mer
cantile loss ; the flag of the United States treated
witii scorn and contempt, and the Government
treated with disrespect in the person of its officer,
who, though commanding a ship owned by acom
panv, is placed in his position by a written order
of the United States Government, and by a law of
the Congress of the United States. Tpe under
signed also protests against not being allowed to
make known to the American oonsnl the situation
in which he is placed, having been refused most
positively permission to communicate with the
representative of the United States in the ißland of
Cuba. An appeal to the consul of a eountiy is
even respected among barbarian powers, from
whom a knowledge of the law of nations is not so
much to be expected.
Keapectfully submitted,
D. D. Porteb, Lieut, U. 8. Navy.

Fight with a Whale. —Tlie crew of a boat be
longing to the achr. Gazelle, of Bingham, took a
young whale about 40 feet long, on Saturday last
otf Cape Elizabeth. When first seen a thrasher
and a swordfish were engaged in an assault upon
him, and they continued their assault for nearly
two hours, when the whale began to spout bloocf.
At this, a portion of the crew of the Gazelle low
ered a boat, and, running alongside of him, suc
ceeded in throwing a harpoon into him and cap
turing him. His body all over bore the marks of
the severe manner in which his natural enemies
handled him. They ripped open his throat and
tore out his tongue ; had torn away most of his
tail, and made deep incisions into him in many
places.— Boston Transcript.

This unfortunate city, says the Columbus Times,
has been visited by another terrible storm. We
learn from a letter before ns dated the 14lh inst.,
that on Saturday tho 9th inst., about 12 m. the tem
pest which had been gathering for two hours, burst
forth in all its fury ou tho devoted city, carrying
every movable thing before it. Honses were
blown down, roofs, porticoes chimneys, and fences
carried away, vcssols capsized or carried high and
dry on terra firms. The poor are the greatest suf
ferers, many of them homeless, and the fishermen
have lost all their boats and tackle. The storm
lasted over two hours. At three o’clock our inform

“Captain Howard, the pilot, together with two
of his seamen were drowned. The brig Metamora
is dismasted and high and dry. I drove tnv buggy

Slightly Mistaken. — A gentleman of Platts
burgh, som* years ago, when visiting in Canada,
introduced to on elderly English officer, and on
the officers learning that he was from Plattsburgh,
he inquired if he lived there at the time ofthe b t
•tlo, and if he knew the name of the officer who
stormed the battery on the night of the lOtli. The
gentleman replied that he was in Plattsburgh at the
time of the battle, and that the officer who led the
storming party he had mentioned was named Mc-
Glassen.
“Will you be so good as to tell me what number
of men he had with him?”
“About sixty, I believe,” replied tho gentleman.
The officer looked astonished, and at last said—
“ Well sir, I was an officer in oomtnandof that
battery. 1 would give more to see Mr. MeGlassen
than any other man in tho world. It was the most
complete thing,” said he, “I ever saw or hoard
tell of; for we were quietly at our position when
the words—^ 1 charge on the front and rear,’ broke
the death-like stillness, as if a voice from the a;r,
screamed the words. My men ran like mad-dogs.
I tried my utmost, in the confusion to bring them
in order, but without success for some time, but
at last I discovered a body charging in fine style.
I placed myself at the head, and anxious to repulse
the attack, urged them ou with all the energy I
possessed; when taking a more anxious look at
them, to see whut one stood firm, in the surpriso,
behold! they were a lot of Yankee*, who had
charged up another way, and I was leading them.
“Then,” said he, “was my timo to run. ■ Where
my men had gone to, no one knew. But I rushed
poll mell into the woods, over logs, mud and wa
ter; then astraddle of some stamps; then bring
ing up against a tree, over stones, and into holes—
up and down, sometimes on one end and some
times on the other.' I arrived in camp, about the
worst bruised, the worst scratched, the sorest and
mosj frightful individual you ever saw. “If you
ever said he, shaking the gentleman from Plattsbnrg
by the hands, “meet Mr. MeGlassen, give him my
compliments, and tell him that was the most
gallant thing I ever saw achieved by any man.”
A New Propeller.— The last files of tho Syd
ney Morning Herald contain account of a new pro
peller invented by Sir Thomas Mitchell, the Sur
veyor General of New South Wales, a trial of
which in a small steamer nt that port had excited
great interest. It is called the Bomerang propeller
and is constructed on tho principle of tho weapon
of that name used by the natives to kill game.—
Although the experiment was only on a small and
imperfect scale, a speed of 12 knots an houraguinst
a head wind is stated to have been obtained. The
instrument is described to combine great strength
and simplicity, while it has only the advantage
that, it* motion in the water causes but a compara
tively slight agitation, so that it is capable of being
adopted to canal boats as to the other vessels. At
the conclusion of tho trial Sir Thomas Mitchell ex
pressed his conviction “that the weapon of tho
eurliestinhabitants of Australia has now led to tho
determination, mathematically of tlio true form, by
which alone on tlie screw principle, high spceci
on water can be obtained.” A private letter says:
“Sir Thomas Mitchell has been testing his new in
vention—the Bomerang propellor for steamers in
lieu ofthe screw. He bus tried it on a steamer
here, and it has answered very well. Sir Thomas
says he willbe able to get 20 knots an hour out of
it. It will be tho very thing for ocean steam ships.
He has taken out a patent, and wishes to go homo
to bring it out."
A Pleasant Surprise. —A young man of eighteen
or twenty, a student in a nuiversy, took a walk
one day with a professor, who was commonly call
ed the students’ friend, such was his kindness to
he young men whom it was his office to instruct.
While they were now walking together, and the
professor wus seeking to lead the conversation to
grave subjects, they saw a pair of old shoes lying
in the path, which they supposed belonged to a
poor man who had nearly finished his dnys’s work.
Tho young student turned to the professor, say
ing:
“Let ns play the man a trick; we will hide his
shoes, and conceal ourselves behind these bushes,
and watch to Beo his perplexity when ho cannot
find them.”
“My dear friend,” answered tlie professor, “we
must never amuse ourselves at the expenso ot the
poor. But you are rioli, and may give yourself a
much greater pleasure by means of this poor man.
Put a dollar in each shoe, and then we will hide
ourselves.”
The student did so, and then placed himself,
with tho professor, behind the bushes hard by,
through which they could easily watch the laborer,
and see whatever wonder or joy ho might express.
The poor man soon finished his work, and came
across the field to the path where he had left his
coat and shoes. While he put on his coat he
slipped ono foot into one of his shoes; feeling
something hard, he stooped down and found the
dollar. Astonishment and wonder were upon his
oouuteuance; he gazed upon the dollar, turned it
around, and looked again and again; then he
looked around on all sides, but could see no one.
Now he put tlio money in his pocket, and proceed
ed to put on the other shoe; but what was his as
tonishment when he found the other dollar 1 His
feelings overcame him; he fell upon his knees,
looked up to heaven, and uttered a loud and fer
vent thanksgiving, in which ho spoke of his wife,
sick and helpless, and his children, from some un
known hand, would be saved from'perishing.
The young man stood there deeply affected, and
with tears in hiß eye*.
“Now,” said the professor, “are you not much
better pleased than if you had played your inteud
ed trick?” *
“Oh, dearest sir,” answered the youth, “you
have taught me a lesson now that I will never for
get. I feel now the truth of the words which I
never before understood, ‘lt is better to give than
to receive.’ ”
We should never reproach the poor but with a
wish to do them good.
Survey or our Rivers.— Capt. J. M. Scarritt, U.

survey of the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers, for
the purpose of reporting in time to secure an ap
propriation by the noxt Congress, for tlio naviga
tion of these rivers.
Wc have been informed that tho removal of a
few of the worst snags would greatly lessen the
danger of navigating the Chattahoochee, and that
tho cost of removing them by snag-boats, such as
are used on the western rivers, would be very in
considerable compared with the benefit to be de
rived from such an application of a small portion of
the money paid into tne National Treasury by this
section of tne Union.

POLITICAL.
From the LaGrange Reporter.
Some reasons why we vote for Webster and Jen
kins.
Mr. Editor :—A jnst respect for public opinion
is laudable; and no man should take a political po
sition unless he feels be has good reasons to sustain
iiim in it. In tho Presidential canvass now pend
ing, a large number of the Constitutional Uuion
men of Georgia have chosen to support for the
Presidency the Hon. Daniel Webster, the great ex
pounder of tho Constitution and defender of tlio
recent Congressional Compromise—and for the
Vice Presidency the Hon. Charles J. Jenkins, the
patriotic and skilful framer of tho celebrated plat
form of 1850. lam sincerely a member of this In
dependent party, aud feeling a desire to huvo as
many of my fellow-citizens vote for the man of
our choice us possible, 1 make this appeal to tho
common sense of Georgians and call upon men of
all parties who desire to give a wholesome rebuke
to these National Juntos (which of late years sup
press instead of expressing public opinion) by ral
lying upon tho strongest ticket in the field, so faj
ns civil ability and worth is concerned, and uniting
with us in the cordial support of Webster and
Jenkins.
The first great reason why I have embarked up
tlic support of Webster and Jenkins is, that I urn
a Constitutional Union man, and believe that the
election of Gen. Scott would be unsafe to the Re
public. Let us see how it would be unsafe.
In tho first place then, General Scott accepted the
nomination cf the Baltimore Whig Convention,
distinctly announcing that lie did not recant any of
his previously expressed opinions. Now let us
look back a few years and see what some of these
opinions are; and before I will embark upon this
delioato subject, I will premise that I stand by the
documents and proof in all I say:—Gen. Soott lias
declared himself in favor of annexing Canada to
this Confederacy;—ho has declared that lie is op
posed to frateming or to becoming, in any way,
closely connected with the country ou our South
and Southwestern borders; —lie has furthermore
declared that he is iu tavor of subjectiug tho i’res
idential veto to the will of a bare majority in Con
gress. Uisoplnion upon tbissubjectis, thutif a bill
is passed by Congress and vetoed by the President,
it Bhould return to that body ana fay upon tho ta
ble ten days; then if Congress should take it up
and pass it, it should tbenbecome a law. Now tho
Northern portion of tho confederacy is the strong
est iu Congress, and the annexation of Canada
would increase that strength, especially if we were
not permitted to have counterbalancing territory
admitted from Mexico and our other Southern
neighbors. Thorefore, if Gen. S’s. view of tlii veto
should obtain general adoption (and I fear it would
if it had the iufluonoo of tho Presidential Chair
to commend it rotlie public consideration during
a period of four years) aud Seward and others of
like kidney should grow in power as they have
been growing for the last few years, is it not easy
to perceive that it will be placed in the hands of a
reckless majority to dissolve tiie Confederacy ?
This result is plain; for the first insult perpetrated
against the South will bo tho knell of the Union,
Union men look to your footsteps. Mind, or you
will do worse than 'Esau did who sold his birth
right for a moss of potage—you will sell your coun
try and your principles for the support ofarnun
who is run by a national clique for uvailibility, to
the exclusion of the brightest, purest, most pa
triotic, well-tried, honest and devoted civil talents
in the country. This annexation business, we all
know is dangerous; aud this growing disposition
to make innovations on tho Constitution of our
forefathers, I am decidedly of opinion, is ruinous
in its tendency.
There is another grave and potent reason why I
cannot vote for Gen. Scott:—he believes thut our
naturalization laws should be so amended as to
lengthen tbo present term of five years tutelage
before citizenship, in accordance with tlie princi
ples of the party calling themselves native Ameri
cans, except in case of service under arms, in time
of war. In that cuso ho recommends that all per
sons so serving during tho period of one year shall
be entitled to the privilege of citizenship. Now
the disposition to elevate military chieftains to
civil power is becoming fur too prevalent in the
country; and therefore, if this disposition should
continuo to increase as it has increased for tlie past
few years, and Goueral Scott’s views are adopted,
(which may-reasonably be feared in case he is
elected) a system of alien soldiery would be en
grafted upon our arms so thut iu a sow years the
regular line would be composed of foreigners, and
it may bo feared that some modern Caesar or sel
fishly, ambitious Napoleon will turn that sword
against American liberty which should be entirely
sheathed in peace, and only drawn in defence of
our country’s honor aud the just rights of her hap
py citizens.
Tliere uro other grave reasons why I am entirely
unwilling to vote for Gen. Soott, which my space
will not permit me to enumerate.' Where then
must I, and those with whom I have tho honor of
co-operating in the present canvass, go? Who
must wo vote for? Wo cannot sustain Franklin
Pierce, for he is obnoxious to many of tlie sumo
objection to which General Scott is subject. He
too, is tho creature of uvuilibility aud policy. We
rejoice that the ballot-box is left us, and that we
have the glorious privilege of endorsing the recent
administration, with ono unqualified admiration,
by voting for its Secretary of State for President,
aud one of its ablest defenders for Vice President.
This then, we are determined upon. We will
stand by the men of our choice through the can
vass, until we are convinced that we are laboring
under a mistake and until it is proven to us that
the Fillmore administration, of which Daniel
Wabater was the moving spirit, was a curse to
America inatcud of being u rich blossing as wo
verily believe, under the blessings of God, it was.
And we call upon all men who admire the admin
istration to shake off the weak wires with which
political tricksters have sought to fetter the public
mind, and to cast an honest vote lor the men of
their choice. It is true that some men have re
cently abandoned the flag which they themselves
had a hand in running up in Georgia. And it
may be vainly thought that Webster and Jenkins
men are intimidated by their inglorious desertion.
But lot them go in their vacillating and erroneous,
but doubtless honest retreat from a noble strife
into which they so gallantly led us. The standard
is ours, wo have nailed it to the masthead; and
we will defend it in ’52 if we fall by it. In ’56,
mark the prediction, brilliant success will perch
its staff, and the principles now sustained by the
Independent party, which casts its vote for Web
ster und Jenkins, will be in the asoerulant securing
the perpetuity of the oountry by the election of u
propor civilian to tho l'rosidontiul Chair.
Tho supporters of General Scott may claim to
be the Whigs; but it is all gammon. The writer
of this is AS GOOD A WHIG AS ANY OF ’EM.
Our Forelgu Relations—The next Administration.
Tho chief topics upon which the leading orator
of the Pierce party harangue the people are those
which relate to the foreign policy of the country,
in reference to whioh they promise some stirring
changes if tbe people will bo kind enough to elect
Mr. Pierce. They do not oare to dwell much upon
the tariff system. If they allude to that subject it
is, goucrully, to boast of the ample revenue pro
duced by the tariff of 1845, without mentioning
the fact that this ample revenue is derived from
an immense mass of imported foreign goods for
which the country now stands indebted to a largo
amount on foreign account, and that our bonds and
stocks, National, State, city and of companies, are
held to the extent of two hundred and sixty mill
ions of dollars in European hands, as evidences
und securities of that large foreign debt.
In like manner the leading orators of the Pierce
party are disposed to avoid much allusion to the
policy of internal improvement, as it respects riv
ers and harbors. In some sections of the country
where that polioy is warmly sustained they may
undertake to claim credit for the pussuge of the
river and harbor bill at the last session of Con
gress-omitting, however, to connect that circum
stance with Mr. Pierce’s well known opinions and
public course in relation to that subject, and omit
ting, also, to state that the river and harbor bill of
the late session was passed by the great body of
tho Whigs of Congress, aided by the junction of
a fragment of the other party.
But our foreign policy is the favorite, theme of
such distinguished leaders of tho Pierce party as
Douglas, Soule, Weller and others. It matters not
that the present Administration has managed tho
foreign relations of the Government with wisdom,
promptitude, courage and complete success, up
holding the national name, exalting the reputation
of our flag throughout the world and extending
protection to American interests on every soa.—
All this will not do for those aspirants who arc
restlessly anxious for the possession of the powei
and the emoluments of Government. The coun
try in general, it is very certain, are quite satis
fled with the manner in which Mr. Fillmore lias
managed our foreign uffairs, and we believe that
most of those whose interests and business rela
tions are connected with commerce, would find
much gratification if they could be assured that tho
sumo priuciples which have marked the course of
his foreign policy will continue to be preserved.
Vet a change in this regard is demanded by such
leading orators of the Pierce party as Senator Doug
las und Soule. An aggressive policy, a policy of
aggrandizement, a policy of war, is called for; and
the people are told that it Mr. Pierce is placed in
the Presidency such a policy will be introduced.
They do not vpnturo to declare that any just cause
of war oxists between the United States and Spain,
yet Mr. Douglas announces that Cuba is to be torn
from that power and made a part of the territory
of this Eepublic. He does not say that we have
any just cause of war with Mexico; yet he pro
claims a crusade against that feeble nation for the
avowed purpose of destroying its political exist
ence and of absorbing all its territory down to the
Isthmus. ...
Such a policy of rapacity is denominated demo
cratic ; and if those who stimulate the passions of
the policy by holding out these conquests as the
prizes of cupidity or of adventure, Can accomplish
the puapose they have in view—the attainment of
power—what care they for the calamities which
may fall upon the interests of the country, or for
the discredit that may attach to her name ?
We have taken into view here this question of
further conquest and war without looking beyond
the parties immediately concerned. Spain is
weak; Mexico is weaker still. Saying nothing
about the magnanimity of the thing, we might go
to war with one or both of those nations upon the
most frivolous pretexts or without any pretext at
all, and take the attitude of a bold bully with little
other risk than some depredations upon our com
merce. We might do this, if we were willing to
stand before the world in the aspect of an unprin
cipled people, regarding no rights held by the
weak and unprotected, and ready to violate the
laws of nations without scruple whenever we could
do it with impunity and hope to gain plunder and
spoil by the courage,
It is probable, however, that some of the Eu
ropean Powers would think themselves bound to
take some notice ol sqch a system of spoliation
and agraodizem&nt as the policy of the Pierce
party promises to inaugurate. England might
imagine that ahe saw in the progressive aud ag
gressive movements towards the Sooth against
Cuba and Mexico a warning signal of Northern
enroacaments upon Canada and her entire North
American territory. She would be blind if she
did not see it. The new Emperor of France anx
ious to stamp the opening of his imperial career
with something brilliant and striking” might be
well disposed to unite with England for the pro
tection of Spain ana Mexico. He might entertain
the belief that his throne would be the more firmly
established both at home and in the sympathies of
monarchical Europe by a war of defiance and of
resistance against this country whieh in addition
to the crime of disregarding the laws of nations
, w *® guilty also of the political offence of eberish
mg republican principle and institutions.
In the eyent of Mr. Pierce’s election, the ap
pointment of Mr. Douglass to the State Department
is spoken of as a thiDg understood. The country
may know, then, in advance what to expect in the
matter of our foreign relations if the control of
our foreign policy cornea into the hands of tlia:
gentleman. It is an issue made up end avowed;
it is openly proclaimed and made the subject of
popular harangues. Let the considerate of all
parties take good heed when they come to cast
their ballots for the Presidency.— BtU*. American.

Warniing Against a Forgery.
The National lJitelligorjcer of Wednesday says:
Believing that littlo is ever effected by petty
tricks, in tlie decision of groat National issues,
we seldom notice the little tabricatious which ap
pear openly in tho columns of the partisan press
on the cvc of » Presidential election. Finding,
however, that one of those counterfeits, (styled by
our adversaries “Roorbacks,”) which appeared
a few days ago in the columns of the l'hion , and
which wo wore yesterday enabled to nail to the coun
ter, has received a fresn and more covert’ start iu
the shape of a handbill for Southern circulation,
wo recur to tho fabrication with a view to put our
Southern friends on their guard against it. This
it is:
On tho 12th instant tho Union contained what
purported to boa late letter (Yom tho Hon. Lewis
D. Campbell, of Ohio, plucing Gen. Scott in a fulsc
Dositiou in regard to the Fugitivo Slave Law, and
Monday last we roeoived from Mr. Campbell, by
telegraph, and published yestorday, the following
letter:
“ Hamilton, Oot. 18, 1852.
“ To the Editors of the National Intelligencer:
“The publication in tho “Union” of Tuesday,
tlie 12th inst., ovor my name, declaring Gen.
Soott for a repeal of tho Fugitive Slave Law, is a
base forgery. I nover wrote or published such a
circular. Lewis D. Campbell.”
Yesterday there was plaoe d in our hands a large
handbill, priuted by the Dcmocmtio Committ ein
this city, containing tho fabricated letter, accom
panied by various inflammatory imputations on
Gen. Scott, together wi;h other electioneering mat
ter, and headed in staring capitals, “ Astounding
Disclosure—A Voice of Warning to the Sout h.”
This handbill was of course prepared before the
appearance of Mr. Campbell’s contradiction; bat
we are credibly informed that one hundred thou
soud copies of it have been printed, and as thoy
have doubtless been transmitted to the South in
groat numbers, we give this information to the
Whig presses in that quarter that they may guard
tlie ptiblio against tlie imposition. We do this lest
th j Union may not itself cftmo forward promptly
With a disavowal ofthe fraud which, we presume,
has been practised on it by some ono possessing
more zeal than honesty.
A Full Trcaziiry and an Indebted Nation.
The statement which wo published a sow days
ago from tho Bunkers’ Magazine of tho estimated
amount of American stooksnow held in Europe or
advanced on by foreign bouses, and issued for tlio
various purposes of National, State, City, Banking
and Railway Companies, showed not only n large
increase of such liabilities within the last few
years, but an aggregate ot indebtedness altogether
which cannot bo regarded without alarm. The
whole amouut, as estimated, reached the great
sum of $261,200,000.
Tho vast debt reprosonts an immense amountof
goods imported, tor Which payment has yot to bo
made by liquidation of the principal indicated by
tlio scrip wndo in the meantime the country has to
bear the drain of some fiftuen millions of dollars
annually in the way of interest. If wo had paid
for our importations by the products of our
own industry wo might have imported with ad
vantage to tho country’s prosperity, and might
still go on to do so. But the policy which has in
vited this vast influx of foreign merchandise into
our ports lias had tho effect at tiie same time of
crippling our own productive powers, ofmpress
iug the advancing development of our resources,
and ot compelling capital and industry to find em
ployment in pursuits subsidiary rather to the in
terests of European capitalists and manufacturers
than to the establishment of a firm basis for our
own national prosperity and independence.
While tbo accumulation of American stocks in
the hands of European holders has gone to such a
fearful extent, our exportß of breadstuff* and pro
visions have fallen off from some sixty-oiglit mill
ions of dollars in 1846-7 to some twenty-two mill
ions in 1850-51 ; and of this latter aggregate tlie
amount that went to Great Britain, whore we were
to have so great u market undor the policy of non
protection aud open ports, was but little over eight
millions.
Now how is it possible that with a diminishing
market abroad for our breadstuff's and provisions
wo can continue to bold up tlio fatal policy which
diseouages the increase of n manufacturing popu
lation at home, which would ho a population of
consumers and whicli might be made to constitute
a reliable home market, always enlarging as the
prosperity of our homo industry went on to ad
vance an 1 increase ? “Tho manufacturers of
America,” Bays a British journal “ cannot exist un
der competition with England without a higher
tariff; and the simple question is whether manu
facture shall cease or not.” This was said in ref
erence to our approaching. Presidential eleotion
and to the part which the tariff question might
bear in that issue.
The decision ofthe “simple question” just sta
ted cannot bo pnt oil' much longer. If wo would
avoid a terrible revulsion bringing ruin upon tho
oreditand disaster to tlio interests of every pursuit
of industry and business • the process of paying
for immense importations by credit-scrip bearing
interest and constituting and increasing debt must
be arrested, and wo must outer at onco and hearti
ly into the policy of placing the manufacturer by
the side of tlie agriculturist, and thus strengthen,
enlarge and make permanent a homo market for
our breadstuff* and provisions and other products.
“Whenever wo open n mine, or build a mill or
furnace,” says a writer in tho Plough, tho Loom
and the Anvil, “wo add to tho number of those
who are only consumers of food, and every addi
tion to the limn her of consumers of food tcndß to
raise prices. Whenever wo stop the building ot
mills, or furnaces, or oloso old ones, wo oompcl
men to beoome producers of food, and every addi
tion to the number of produces tends to redum
prices.”
Under tho operation of our system of profuse im
portations, which is heaping up u formidable load
of obligations abroad, the rovonue from duties on
tliis mass of imported goods is rapidly increasing.
Twenty millionsof surplus, it is estimated, will be
accumulated to the Treasury by the close of the
presentyoar; undtliusto extravagance in specu
lation and over-trading we may expect to see, nn
lcsa our commercial policy is changed, political ex
travugamo in the squandering of tho publio
money.— Halt. Amer.

gives a hasty summary of them os follows;
Tho frigate Powhatan will certainly sail this Fri
day afternoon, pursuant to orders from the Navy
Department to nave her “fitted out with immedi

aid thcU.S. Marshal in a ocrtaln extensive Cuban
cer movement, of which Government, but not the
public has recently got wind, off South. So goes
the story,
Orders have just been received, to have the sloop

about one-half their ordinary number of guns
In our ramble about the yard, our eye met the

thorough repairs.
The frigate Constitution, and store ships Fredo
111a and, Southampton, have been thoroughly re
