We record the redemption of our sister State with the liveliest feelings of satisfac tion. The Van Buren party have con stantly boasted that Mississippi was theirs beyond a peradventure. But the progress ofKEFORM has been so irresistible that even Mississippi has felt its auspicious influ ’ ertr*v has struggled with the incubus of lo cofbcoism, has freed herself from its baleful oppression, and has followed in the wake of Louisiana. We have returns, official and reported, from.. 23 counties, which ex hibit so heavy a gain to the Whigs, that we believe we can with safety exclaim All Hail Regenerated, Mississippi ! The returns from 23 counties show a majority for Harrison of 3,433 ; Whig majority in 1839,1,259. Gain in 1840 for Whigs, 2,i?4, leaving 900 Locofoco ma jority to be overcome in the remainder of the State (33 counties.) This will easily be done. Mississippi is safe by from one to two thousand majority. In Jackson county the Whigs have gain ed 70 votes. Fire. About 7 o’clock on Tuesday morning lat£ the dwelling house of Mrs. N.M. Stone, near this village, was discovered to be on fiyc. It was found impossible to stop the progress of the fire, and the building was burnt to the ground; a portion, of the furni ture was saved, but much valuable movea ble property was consumed with the house. Loss estimated at S4OOO, no insurance. Abated.— The Extra Globe has been discontinued, and its editor be* issued proposals for publishing anew paper called Kendall’* Expositor. t . —— State Printer. —Mr. Gordon, ofChatham, has introduced in the Senate, a bill to re peal the law of 1836, providing for the election of a State Printer; and authoriz ing the Clerks of both Houses to contract with printers and publishers for the execu tion of the State printing in future. We copy the following from the Southern Recorder, ofNov. 17. There is something very singular in the remark of the Governor in his Message, “It is to be hoped that this Bank (the Cen tral) so long the benefactor of the people, will with its ample assets, be enabled to counteract the ungenerous efforts of other Banks to discredit its. issues, provided its liabilities are not increased by legislative requisitions.” Now the Governor is stren uous for the resumption ofspeeie payments, and the only reason the other Banks refuse the Central Bank bills is because they be lieve that it is wholly unable to redeem its bills with specie, as they will have to re deem theirs. Now is there any thing un-. generous in this ? The other Banks have to redeem their bills with specie ; will their debtors edme to them to pay their debts with Central Bank hills which cannot re deem its bills with specie. How long now we should like to know, would the Banks be able to hold out at this rate, ■ paying out all the time specie to their creditors, and re ceiving all the time from their debtors, bills tiiat cannot command specie ? The case is a plain one, and cannot be avoided. The Banks cannot do business at all, ifthey fcre the.sole payers of'specie, and the receivers fdr their debts of that which is cot equivalent to specie; and there is no ungenerosify it) the business. Which would his Excellency himself prefer to reeive, the ‘notes of the Central Bank, just issued to the people, or the notes of the other Banks of the State, which he recommends the Legislature to compel to resume? Or in other words, does his Ex cellency prefer bills uncontrovertible info specie, to those that are convertible ? We would fain hope that the Central Bank has not so far overstepped the bounds of pru dence, as to make issues which she cannot redeem,when the other Banks redeem theirs; but still the general impression is that she has done so, and on that account both the Banks and the people refuse their bills when they can get others. However, this matter will soon be put to rest; if the Cen tral Bank resumes specie payment with the other Banks, her notes will be the most cur-- rent in Georgia ; if she does not, they” will be little better than continental paper, and the people will be compelled to suffer the damage. A short time will settle this mat ter. Providential Escape of Gen. Harrison. — Extract from a letter dated Cincinnati, Oct. 31st. “ The Lord God be w ith us as he was with our fathers. Yesterday morning, as, Gen. Harrison was riding over his farm looking for his cattle, he rode across the tunnel of the White Water Canal, which is digging through his farm, he found the earth giving away under hib), and threw hiinsr-U nearly 15 fefcV ftlSfffflSsj” horse and” landed on the top.of the grojited without injury to himself, while his horse went down 40 feet with the earth into the - tunnel, and was still there in the afternoon ; and if the General had not been smarter than his opponents call him he might have been there too, but the Lord was on our side and saved him. I saw a gentleman last night who spoke w ith him since his fall, and he says he is not hurt. OCT The city of New York contains 313,269 inhabitants. An Effectual Mode of Frightening Crows from Corn Fields. —During my re sidence in lilt- western part of Louisiana, which is much infested by blackbirds and crows, I frequently observed a white cotton thread suspended from the top of one cane (or large reed) to the top of others through o'ut the length of their corn fields. I in quired the use of it, and was answered, that it scared the crows or blackbirds, I do not recollect which, but am of opinion it scared both. Since my return to Virginia, I have settled on a small farm in Chesterfield county. Three sides of my field are en closed by pine woods, the most choice a bode of crows. Immediately after plant ing my corn, I tried the experiment. I procured small pine poles, 15 or 16 feet in length ; set them in my corn field, 50 or 60 yards apart, lengthwise the field, as it was long and narrow ; then stretched the cot ton twine from the top of one pole to the top of another, throughout the field; and found that my corn was protected form 40 to 50’ yards on each side pf the twine so suspen ded. The next season my field being in form an obtuse angled triangle, and would require a number of threads stretched par allel through the field on account of its form, and by way of saving labor and thread, as well as for experiment, 1 stretch ed the thread around the field, or set the poles on the outer edge of the corn field, say about 10 or 15, yards from the fence, which protected the, corn entirely from crows. The present year I enclosed or stretched the thread around 30 acres ofcorn, say with two pounds of cotton twine, at 81$ cents per pound, and am well satisfied that I did not lose one hill of corn by crows. It is my positive belief that if a field of any magnitude was enclosed by the thread (unless a crow on entering the field should fly so high as not to observe the thread,) there never would be one in it as long as the thread was suspended. I get small saplings, as small as I can, so that they may give way to the winds,) about 15 or 16 feet long. First drop them around the field at 50 or 60 yards distance ; then I make holes with a “ slab, ’ (or pointed stake,) as to set the poles firm in the ground. Then I wrap the thread around the end of ihe first pole and set it up firm ; go on to the next with my ball of twine, wrap it around that, and so on throughout; observing to stretch the thread as tight as possible, in the first instance, as it will swag very much after a rain or heavy dews. I give these directions, because I believe from experience, that it is necessary that the thread should swag a little, so as to be kept in motion by every slight breeze. I hope that many will try it.— Far. Reg. From the Constitutionalist. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. November 15, 184(1 Yesterday, in the House, Mr. Roberts moved to reconsider so much of the journal of the day before, as relates to the rejection of the bill to repeal the act of 1838, re specting the granting of licences for re tailing spirituous liquors. On this motion to reconsider, the yeas were 64, nays 98. Mr. Whitfield introduced a bill to author ize the Governor to execute bonds of the State, and to procure their negotiation for specie, and to require the directors of the Central Bank to pay specie for the notes is sued by that institution, upon certain condi tions. This is an important and extraor dinary movement, especially at (his period of the session. I shall’ wait, before I ex press an opinion, for the reports of the com mittees on Banks and the Finances. The bill for the pardon of Francis Law rence, convicted of the crime pf murder, in the county of Talbot; was rejected, yeas 37, nays 124. ‘ ‘ Mr. Roberts has introduced a bill to ap propriate money for the political year 1841. “* In the Senate,” yesterday, the hill for ihe organization ofia court of errors was taken op. A substitute for the bill Was of fend by Mr.’ Jones, which was taken up and read. The’ Sehate held reSbl'Ved itself into a committee of the whole. The substitute of Mr. Jones was read by section. The blank for, .the salary of the Judges was fill ed up with $2500. At this stage of the proceedings, a motion prevailed for the committee to rise, report progress, and have leave to sit again. The organization of a supreme court, at this session, is yery doubtful. From the Texas Register. Petrified Trees in Texas. The petrified trees in Texas may be classed among the greatest natural curios ities of the country. ‘ They are found scat tered in huge logs of blocks, or in small detached masses, over a vast extent of sur face; chiefly, however, in a belt of country about twenty miles broad, which extends from near the Sabine, on the east, to the Gaudaloupe on the west; generally at the distanceof eighty or one hundred miles from the .coast. The largest of these trees yet discovered is found lying near the sum mit of a hill, in an open prairie, near the residence of Col. Moore, and about five hundred yards north of the .oad leading front Houston to Austin, in Fayette county. The body of this tree is seven feet in diame ter: and,as considerable portion's of its out laycrs have been worn away or broken off, it must have been once about Jv/enty-four feet in circumference. It is,*ompletely si licified throughout, an4-*£ so hard that the ‘TtWjis fcatJjTy'strike fire with steel. The fibres of the wood are so distinct, that the rings demoting its annual growth may be distinguished.’ ■” Some of its broken fragments, resemble flint, and are semi transparent on their edges, others resemble chalcedony ; but the main body of the tree resembles some varities of fine-grained sand stone, and is of a dull, grey ash color. This trunk resembles an immense log, lying slightly inclined with one of.its extremities buried in the earth. The portion above the surface is about sixteen feet long. Its larg er extremity rests upon a ledge of sand stone, which here protrudes through the soil, and forms an irregular shelf, extend ing along the side of the hill to a consider, able distance on either side. Along this ridge many huge blocks are scattered, which appear to be portions of the same tree, and have been mistaken ;by many persons as the fragments of its branches; some of them, however, are found at the distance of more than three hundred yards from the main trunk. It is worthy of remark, that por tions of silicified wood are also found imbed ded in this sandstone; they however ap pear to be imbedded only near its surface, and many small pebblestones of agate, quartz, and other siliceous substances are imbedded with them; apparently indicating that they once formed the beach of a sea or lake. ‘ • In the hill on the opposite side of the val ley, a similar shelf.of sand stones protrudes, and silicified wood'iare found lying along it, and m gome places imbedded in it. The soil above this sandstone, even to the sum mit of the hill, contains a large quantity of siliceous pebbles of agate, quartz, chalce dony, flint, and some fragments of silicified wood. The summit of the hill is about thirty feet above the surface of the adjoin ing! valley, which is broa^i,.and shallow, like} most.of the vsjjl.eys of this section. This ledge of sandstone may probably bte traced n ar the. summits of all the hills through out the undulating regions of Teitas. Va rious speculations have been made relative to the species of tree to which this silicified wood belongs. Some attributed! to the post oak, others to the liVe oak, others to pine. We have carefully examined several spe cimens collected in different sections of this republic, and find that the characters of all, even when shown by the microscope, are alike. They evidently belong to but one species of tree, prybably different from any now existing upon the globe;’ It resembles the pirn ; even thesmail circular dises or glands that are found in longitudinal sec tions of the pine, may be distinguished in small fragments subjected to an examina tion in the microscope. The fragments of transverse sections also exhibit the system of reticulations peculiar to - the coniferac. The pebbles of quartz, agate, flint, &c. which are found in the superficial accumu lations, in which these trees are imbedded, are found strewn in the soil throughout La grange Bastrop counties, and a large por tion of Travis, Gonzales, Colorado and Washington Counties. We have also been informed that they are found in the sections of Houston, Liberty, and Jasper counties containing these silicified trees. It is wor thy of remark, also, that extensive forests of pines are also found in this section. The silicified trees, however, are not confined to the forests of pine; but often are found sev eral miles distant, in open prairies, or in forests of post oak and cedar. Whether these trees are found east of the Sabine, or west of the Gaudcloupe, we have not ascer tained. Similar petrifactions have been found in the pine barrens of New Jersey, Missouri and in Chihuahua : possibly the same scries of deposites which contain these fossils extend along the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, quite round to the feet of the Cordilleras, in Chihuahua, and are al so connected with the great tertiary region of Missouri. As many of our readers may be anxious to learn how these trees became changed to stone, and thus buried beneath deep beds of soil, we will here remark that the whole section in which they are found, was once covered by a deep sea. This is indicated by the marine shells which are found imbedded in the sandstone on which they rest, and the vast quantities of round ed pebbles found in the superficial accumu lations above the sandstone. Into this sea the mountain torrents of adjacent lands may have drifted vast quantities of trees, and other vegetables, which, after becom ing saturated with water, subsided upon its sandy bed ; and as the woody matter de cayed, siliceous particles contained in tbe water were deposited in their place, and at •length; their trunks and branches became transformed to solid stone, which possibly during ages rested on the tranquil bed of the silefit deep and the currents of centu ries swept over them the vast deposites of earth and pebble stones in which they now lie! These events may have transpired thousands of years before the days of No ah. In progress of time, the ocean bed was uplifted from beneath the waters; and the rains of centuries gradually scooped out the hollows, and wore down the elevations of the surface thus upraised, until at last pres ents the broad, shallow vallies and smooth ly rounded hills, which characterize the undulating region ofTexas. The shelves of sandstone extending along the sides of these hills, however, indicate that this sea remained stationary for a long period of time; and as most of these silicified trees are found lying along these ridges, it is doubtful whether the trees were imbedded in the superficial accumulations, resting upon the sandstone ; and were thus deduc ed by the abrasion of the waters; or wheth er they were thrown up against and upon these ridges by the violence of the waves of the ancient ocean. The former opinion is rendered the most probable, from the fact that some of these huge trunks, which are found lying over the ridges and upon the sandstone, are more than six feet in diameter, and twenty or thirty, orxneve feet long ; these will weigh several tons; and it can hardly be sup posed, that any force of the waves would be sufficient to cast them over these ledges without at the same time shattering them to atoms. The hypothesis that they once grew upon the spots where they are now found, cannot be maintained ; because none ofthe-trees are footed erect or with roots or branches; but merely the bare trunks are found lying horizontally, or slightly inclin ed ; and in shattered, broken masses, as if they had been subjected to the action of powerful currents. In conclusion, we will furnish our read ers with an account of the subterranean forest of the Isle of Portland, in England, which contains silicifi'd trees, similar to those we have attempted to describe. This forest is imbedded in solid rock ; it consists in'vast numbers of trees, belonging to spe cies resembling the pine and to some spe cies resembling palms, and other trees that are now found growing only in tropical countries. The roots of these trees extend into a layer of earth about a foot in thick ness, resting upon a deep bed of limestone, Containing marine shells. ; ‘Many of the stems of these trees, as well as the plants, ■ ate still erect, as if petrified while growing undisturbed in their native forest—the trees having their roots to the soil, and their trunks extending into the superincumbent strata of lime. The strata of limestone ex tending above these trees are several hun dred feet. The strata nearest the trees contain fresh water shells ; above these are stra’a containing shells of an estuary ; and above all these, other stata oflirnestone con taining marine shells ! Dr. Backland re marks, that the structure of this district af fords a good example of the proofs which Geology discloses, of .alternate elevations ahd submersions of the strata, during the formation of the crust of our planet. Ist, we hive evidence of the rise of the bed of lime stone on which the soil lies and on which the trees are rooted, till it reached the sur face of the sea. Secondly, this surface be ca)n;4, for i time, dry land, crowned by a tqrnporary forest, during an interval which is indicated by the thickness of the bed of filacjc mould, called the dirt-bed, and by the rings of annual growth in large petrifi ed trees, whose roots have grown in this mould. Thirdly, we find this forest to have been gradually submerged; first, beneath the waters of a fresh water lake, next of an es tuary, and afterwards beneath those of a deep sea, in which cretaceous and tertiary strata were deposited more than 2000 feet in thickness. Fourthly, the whole of these strata .have been elevated by subterranean violence into their actual position in the hills of Devonshire! Such are the evidences of the mighty rev olutions that have affected the globe upon which we reside. A Quick Way to Get Rich. —-A Miss In gram, of Pontiac, sometime since was pe rusing a Texas paper, and observing a mong the persons that bore a prominent part in the affairsof that government, a man bearing her own name, and jocosely remar ked to her companions that she had found a namesake iPTexas, and intended to write to him, and claim relationship. This reso lution more from curiosity and a desire of novelty than from any conviction that her hopes would be realized, was carried into effect. She wrote him a respectful letter, giving him a history of her family and pa rentage, and suggesting that as the name was not as common as most of the names of our country, the probability is strong that a relationship existed between them. She received in reply, a friendly and affection ate letter, acknowledging her as a cousin, and expressing an earnest desire that the cor respondence might be continued. This was readily acceded to, and it was carried on agreeably and satisfactorily to both parties, until very recently, when she received in telligenceofliis death, and information that in his will he hud bequeati and her the hand some sum of twenty thousand dollars in gold and silver, leaving his personal property and immense landed estate to his relatives in that country. A few days previous to the reception of this joyful communication, she had connected her fortunes with those of a Methodist clergyman, and should their deeds of charity comport with their means, the widow’s heart will be filled with joy, and many an orphan live to implore bless, ings upon the heads of their benefactors, for the deeds of their benevolence and genero sity.—Michigan Northern Advocate. The Mother of General Greene. —Among the many ladies who distinguished them selves for their patriotism, charity, and o ther good qualities, in our Revolution, there is one whose name ought not to be forgotten, and who, in my opinion, is equal in merit to any that flourished in our coun try, and there were many at that time. A bout the commencement of our Revolution, and as it was ascertained that Nathaniel Greene, (afterwards General Greene,) in tended to join our army in defence of his country, a deputation of Friends, (common ly called Quakers, and to whose society he then belonged, by order of their meeting,) waited on him to endeavor to dissuade him from it, and after listening to all their ar guments on the subject, he informed them that he felt an irresistible propensity, not to be got over, for joining his brethren in arms. He thanked them for the interest they had taken in his welfare; but he could not comply with their request. When the deputation took an affectionate leave, and left him, his mother, who had been listening with all the anxiety of a fond parent, used tier best endeavors to prevail on him to stay at home, when he told her it was impossible . After a pause, “she burst into a flood of tears, with this remarkable observation : “ Well, Nathaniel, f thee must go, it is possible that i may hear oj thy death, and if it be God s will that it shall so Happen, i hope 1 shall not have the mortification to hear of thee being wounded in the back.” Comment is needless—a Spartan mother could not have said more; but Mrs. Greene stands preeminently superior to the mothers of antiquity, as her education was so different—she was bred a Christian. Definition of Cherub. —A lady (married ofcourse) was once troubled with a squal ling brat, whom she always addressed as “my cherub.” Upon being asked why she gave it that appellation, she replied—“ B ecause it is derived from cherubim, and the Bible says, the cherubims continually do cry.” Good, that. An Editor's Luck. —A Tennessee editor found a five dollar hill in his office, and was much rejoiced at the unprecedented pheno menon ; but, ten minutes afterwards, while he was inditing a paragraph, calling loudly for Chapman to crow on the occasion, an owner called for the money. In his vexa tion, he immediately changed his “ crow” into a bitter article against a political oppo nent, by whom he was prosecuted for libel, challenged to a duel, and got a sound thrashing into the bargain. Van Buren’s “ last card’’ seems to have been the knave. He played it skil fully, but Harrison counted too many honors for his tricks.
