MONSTROUS SERPENT.
A Rattle Snake was killed a few days ago
at Hamilton, Harris County, Geo. measuring
6 1-2 feel long and 22 1*2 inches in circumfer
ence,—its mouth when expanded was 0 inches
between the extremities—there were only seven
rattles to the tail, the balance having probably
been lost in combat with some of his serpentine
tribe. When the snake was killed, it had a large
rabbit in its mouth nearly swallowed* which
caused it to become an easy prey to its murder
er. The fangs were extracted and measured
nearly two inches long. The rattlesnake is ve
ry cowardly and acts always on the defensive
We understand (says the Philadelphia Demo
cratic Press) that Capt. Porter is expected to
return to the United States in a few weeks.—
SS bother ho will remain, or return to tho Mexi
can service, we have not been able to ascertain.
1 he editor ot a country paper, devoted with
acrimonious warmth to politics, in a notice to
correspondems, observes—“ We have no room
for truth this week; and our remarks on Mr.
Randolph’s speech have necessarily excluded
Justice. Fairplay is inadmissible. Falsehood,
No. 5, shall appear in our next.”
The work entitled America ns it is, front
which some quotations are made in the New
X ork American, is a London counterfeit.—

Among the congressional curiosities, the | productions, which arc mado up from the apoc
speech and vote of Tristram Btu'ces will be con- j ryphul statements of news papers and the for-
spicuous—I believe he was one ol John Adams’ gottun volumes of obscure tourists. The “ An-
midnight judges. He spoke several hours a- ecdotes of Foreign Courts,” Ac are ofnb bet-
gainst every provision of the bill, as destructive j ter origin or more credible character,
to the interests of agriculture, commerce and j Savannah Republican
manufactures, and portrayed, iu the strongest
colours, the desolation of New-England to he
brought upon her once happy people, and con
cluded by suying, that, although lie could see in
the bill no one tendency to do good, and many
to great and lasting mischief, yet as some parts
of the country did suppose they could profit by
it, he would vote for it—and, gross as this dere
liction of all sense of duty may seem, to day,
screwed up by the previous question, ho did
vote for it.
Mr. Campbell.—They who know Mr. Camp
bell only as the author of Gertrude of Wyoming,
and The l’leasures of Hope, would not suspect
him to be a merry companion, overflowing with
humor and anecdote, and any thing but fastidious.
He is one of the few men whom I could at any
time walk half n dozen miles through the snow
to spend an afternoon with ; and I could no more
do this with a penurious man than I could with
a sulky one.
Lawyer;.—In the course of a debate in the
House of Representatives, on the resolution to
appoint a commute to lix on a proper time to
adjourn, Mr. I’. P. Barbour adverted to the re
proach of lids government being a togocraey.—
To this, Mr. Mitchell, of Tennessee, in reply,
said “ He thought the best remedy for logocrncy.
would he, for the people to strike from the roll
of the House the 100 lawyers who were eternal
ly babbling, lie did not include in that remark
the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Barbour) who
was a lawyer of too high an order, to be at all
within its scope.
Mr. Clark, of Ncw-York, replied with some
warmth, expressing his indignation, that one who
himself belonged to the bar, should rise in this
House and slander the profession.
One Benjamin Franklin—a practical Turk,
hv nil accounts, having married sir wires in one
year in Ohio !—has been convicted in the Oyer
and terminer of Genesee county for passing
counterfeit motley and attempting to burn the
jail. Instead of the state prison for ten years,
he should he sentenced to pass that space under
be same root' with his half-dozen of wives.
Tho National Gazette, an administration pa
per, edited by Mr. Walsh, says—“We have
seen many of his (Gen. Jackson’s) letters, and
other manuscripts, dated within the few years
hack, which exhibited very few, if any, blunders,
either in syntax or orthography.”
Wo have received the first number of “A
voire from the Tide Water Country,” a news
paper lately established at Williamslnirgh in Vir
ginia. It seems to be in able hands, and is de
cidedly in favor of Gen. Jackson as candidate
for the next presidency.— U. S. 'Telegraph.
The National Journal is becoming supersti
tious, cere signum, in the following article:
Anagrams have been supposed to hr prophetic.
This idea has-been fortified by many instances.
The following, might he added to the list:
By transposing the 15 letters comprising the
name of Thomas Jefferson, they will be found
to produce this strong and characteristic declara
tion—
“ Host of man it free;"
corresponding, in a wonderful manner, with the
first assertion of this great “Apostle of liberty,”
“ All men are horn free
and by combining tho numerical power of these
letters, they will produce 1774—the year in
which he first entered the American congress,
and gave the great impulse to our revolutionary
movement.
We hope the following w ill not prove equally
ominous and prophetic:
By transposing, in like manner, the 20 letters
composing the words Central Andrew Jael;son,
they will he found to produce this remarkable
and fearful sentence—
“ Crown, and see a real King," or “ See a
real King and Crown."
Comment is left to the render.
Ilow awful is the last short sentence! “Corn-
men is left to the reader!” If the whole nation
does not fall into “ historical fits, little can it claim
on the score of sensibility. General Jackson
has stood other attacks pretty well, hut it lie
does not quail before this new, feartul, and tre
mentions anagram, lie must lie thunder-proof.
A duel xvas fought the early part of last week,
in Delaware, between iwo citizens ol Philadel
phia ; upon tho sixth shot one of them was killed,
We understand (observes a Baltimore paper) the
affair originated m a private dispute, and had no
thing to do with politics, as first assertod.
Bad Taste.—Our newspapers have the ap
pearance of picture galleries, filled with cuts ol
houses, horses, chairs, ploughs, ships, steam
boats, phials, brushes, Ac. Ac. Ac. Our ad
vertising friends must ho of opinion, that unless
something illustrative meets the eye, no one will
understand the object. He soft nothing of the

worth nothing to the advertiser.—.V. 1'. Enq,
Mr. Coop cr, the Novelist.—The London
Globe, of March 6th, says, this celebrated an
thor of* the Spy, Pilot, tfc. is now in London
jvhere he intends to remain for some time.—lb
Indians.—Letters from Fort Snelling, Upper
Mississippi, express apprehensions of an attack
• on that place by the Indians, and represent the
Fort as in a very exposed situationjjfrom the re
duced number of the soldiers and the out-fort

This Journal was formerly published ui.der tho patron
age (only) of tbe Franklin Institute: but having now a—
sumed the proprif forship thereof, they are determined to
use every cm rtmn to make it a valuable work forioeclum-
and scientific persons; to do which they have appoint
ed a committee to ant in adjunction with the Editor, in
superintending the publication department. Dr. Jones
(the Editor) having been appointed to the patent office
at Washington, will he enabled to obtain more extensive
knowledge of the numerous valuable improvements that
are daily taking place in this country, and the Institute
will thereby have it iu their power to lay before, the sub
scribers of tlie Journal more general information on the
mechanical arts oftlie United States, as well as those of
other countries. The Institute are sanguine that in as
suming the publication of the Journal they are forwarding
the interest of the mechanic arts of the United States;
therefore they ask, with confident*, tho patronage and
support of the public generally to the work.
Among the subjects which have been introduced into
the volumes already published are the following:—
Proceedings of the 1'ranUin Institutions:—Steam en
gines, mill-work, Cotton machinery, husbandry, mechan
ical jurisprudence, natural history, carpentry, turning,
weaving, dying, boring for water, steel manufactures,
hardening, tempering and welding, cements and artificial
stones, blow pipe, colour manufacture, juppanning and
varnishing, lackering and bronzing, metallurgy, paper-
making. leather dressing and tanning, metallic alloys,
burnishing, furnaces, pottery, crucibles, brewing, engra
ving and etching, glass-making, hydrometry, cutlery,
musical instrument making, loek-rnaking, internal im
provement, progress of manufactures, gilding and silver
ing, seasoning and preserving timber, Foreign and Amer
ican patents, purifying oil, «!te. Sic.. Arc.
The future numbers will exhibit an equal variety, and
it is intended occasionally to enliven our pages by the
admission of articles which ore purely literary, and such
also as may afford rational amusement, without sacrific
ing the main object proposed in the publication of tbe
work. Biographicul notices of distinguished mechanics,
and other promoters of the useful arts, will likewise oc
casionally appear. May 29.

been sustained with sufficient judgment, it is that of the
editor. Ami even here were xve to credit the batteries
of our eotempories, xve might have spared ourselves t!ii<
confession. But whatever this may have been hereto
fore it shall he bettered. We pledge it with the confi
dence of experience, increasing years and awakening vi
gour. Depending as we do, solely upon tile opinions of
the public for the reputation, and consequently the circu
lation of our journal, we shall be assiduous to please that
public, and render ourselves more justly entitled to their
henofuetions. The tone ofour sentiments will always
take the color of our judgment, and sincerity, and justice,
shall be the only moderators on the strictures of that
judgment. All that can serve to instruct aud lo amuse,
all that i* calculated either to enlighten the understand
ing or to improve the heart, will he eagerlv and assidu
ously sought after, to adorn our pages. The advocacy
which iu the outset we professed for women, and which
we believe has been the paramount cause oftlie success
of’this journal, will rather be increased than diminished
in its future conduct. Dispassionate criticism, moral fic
tion and meritorious verse, will never be welcomed to its
columns. The arts and sciences shall not he forgotten,
nor the brilliant witticism, ortho pleasant bon mot lost
in a world of pedantry and metaphysics. In short, the
most devoted and fustidinus attention shall he paid both
to the matter and manner oftlie work, with a laudable
ambition to render it still more deserving among readers
of taste and attainments.
The embellishments which shall accompany the third
volume ofthis work, shall exceed those of their former
volume*. Nothing shall be calk'd so that shall not be
considered intrinsically an embellishment. If they cou-

the country, and not the miserable print* that are too gen

paper shall he good and uniform in its texture- The
number of pages will be the same as at present, but from
a more discriminate arrangement of the type, a large por
tion of reading matter will he furnished weekly. With
these views in anticipation, we throw ourselves Upon the
bounty of the public, soliciting none to encourage who
shall not consider the possession of the work equivalent
to the amount of subscription,
To the numerous editors who have so generously copi
ed onr former uoticies, who have so liberally commended
our feeble efforts to please, and who have so largely trans
ferred our articles into the column- of their journals, we
return our unaffected thanks. Beggars that we are, the
obligation will bo still more enhanced by a few insertions
ofthis prospectus. We do not offer an cnchange in com
pensation tor this service, bnt a* a feeble tribute to their
courtery, for even the obligation will be uncalled and
the same.

under the superintendence of a highly gifted arti-t. arid
will consist chiefly of landscapes, sketched from the most
interesting spot* on the western wat.irs. As no expense
will be span d in this department it is believi d that the em

fore been seen from flu* American arti-t. In the literary
dej artment, the Editor lias been promised the aid of many
gentlemen of taste and genius. It is hoped that other wri
ters of character will with liberality volunteer their aid,
and that gentlemen who may bo personally unknown to
the editor and publishers, \vili not wait for a more special
invitation to contribute lo an enterprise, which, if success
ful, will refb'et so much honor upon the literature and into
ofour common country. The articles desired, arc. Tales,
Boetry, Historical Anecdotes, and description* of-ceiicry

I'oeti will recollect that in their uvocatiou it is peculiar
ly true, that “brevity is the soul of wit;” ami that isvarie-
ty is a great claim in such a work us ours, the poetic con
tributions should be numerous, elegant, and brief.
A* fiction is generally more agreeable than truth, histo
rical anecdotes will bo sparingly admitted; un*l those only
will be received which possess some romantic or pictur
esque attraction to recommend them, and are adorned
with the graceful beauties of wit.
Descriptions of scenery and manners, wilt be grafoiuhv
accepted. They should he graphic, light, and ea.-x. and
refer, if po cable, to points which possess -ome historical or
local importance, to recommend them to the general renb»r.
But while wo lay down these general rules, wo are
aware that inueh must be left to the tastes of authors; xve
do not desire to shackle tho inspiration* of genius, by arbi
trary restriction*, hut merely recommend that which 'p-
pears to us to bo expodiont, and develop our own view* of
what ought to bo the general outline oftlie proposed work,
leaving writers at liberty to select their oxvn subjects, and
treat them after their oxvn manner.
