THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA.
From Washington Irving's new work, entiled,
« The Life and Voyages of Columbus ”
On the morning of the 7th of October,
it sunrise, several of the Admiral’s crew
thought they beheld land, in the west,
hut so indistinctly that no one ventured
to proclaim it, lest he should be mistak
en, and forfeit all chance of the reward:
the Nina, however, being a good sailor,
pressed forward to ascertain the fact.—
in a little while a flag was hoisted at her
mast-head, and a gun discharged, being
the preconcerted signals for land. New
j-.y was awakened throughout the little
quadron, and every eye was turned to
the west. As they advanced, however,
their cloud-built hopes faded away, and
before evening the promised land had
Aided into air. The crews now sunk into
i degree of dejection proportioned to their
recent excitement, when new circum
stances occurred to arouse them. Colum
bus, having observed great flights of
•,niall birds going towards the southwest,
concluded they must be secure of some
neighboring land, where they would find
food and a resting place. He knew the
importance which the Portuguse voyagers
attached to the flight of birds, by follow
ing which they had discovered most of
their islands. lie had now come seven
hundred and fifty leagues, the distance
at which he computed to find the island
of Cipango ; as there was no appearance
of it, he might have missed it through
some mistake in the latitude. He deter
mined, therefore, on the evening of the
7th of October, to alter his course to the
west southwest, the direction in which
the birds generally flew, and continue
that direction for at least two days. After
all, it was no great deviation from his
main course, and would meet the wishes
of the Pinzons, as well as be inspiriting
to his followers generally. For three
days they stood in this direction, and the
further they went the more frequent and
encouraging were the signs of land.—
Flights of small birds of- various colors,
some of them such as sing in the fields,
came flying about the ships, and they
continued towards the southwest, and
others were heard also flying by tit the
n'ght. Tunny-fish played about the
smooth sea; and a heron, a pelican, and
a duck were seen, all bound in the same
direction. The herbage which floated by
the ships was fresh and -green, as if re
cently from land ; and the air as Colum
bus observes, was sweet and fragrant as
April breezps in Seville. All these, how
ever, vote regarded by the crews as so
many delusions beguiling them to des
truction ; and, when, on the evening of
the third day, they beheld the sun go
down upon a shoreless lyarizon, they
broke forth in clamorous turbulence.—
The} exclaimed against this obstinacy in
tempting fate by continuing on into a
boundless sea. They insisted upon re
turning homeward, and abandoning the
voyage as hopeless. Columbus endeavor
ed to pacify them by gentle words, and
promises of large rewards; but finding
that thev.only increased in clamour, he
assumed a decided tone. He told them it
was useless to murmur; the expedition
had been sent bv the Sovereigns to seek
die Indies; and happen what might he
was determined to persevere, until, by
the blessing of God, he should accom
plish his enterprise. Columbus was now
at open defiance with his crew, and his
situation became desperate. Fortunately,
however, the manifestations of neigh
boring land were such on the following
day as no longer to admit a doubt. Be
sides a quantity of fresh weed, such as
grow in rivers, they saw a green fish, of
a kind which keeps about rocks ; then a
branch of thorn with berries on it, and
recently separated from the tree, floated
by them; then they picked up a reed, a
small board, and, above all, a staff arti
ficially carved. All gloom and mutiny
now gave way to sanguine expectation ;
and throughout the day each one was ea
gerly on the watch, in hopes of being the
first to discover the long sought for land.
In the evening, when, according to invari
able custom on board the Admiral’s ship,
t»e mariners had sung the salve regina, or
vesper hymn to the Virgin, he made an
impressive address to his crew. He point
ed out the goodness of God in tints con
ducting them by such soft and favourable
breezes across a tranquil ocean, cheering
their hopes continually with fresh signs,
increasing as their fears augmented, atid
,‘hus guiding them to a promised land.—
He now reminded them of the orders he
had given on leaving the Canaries, that,
after sailing westward seven hundred
leagues, they should not make sail after
midnight. Present appearances autho
rized such a precaution. He thought
it probable they would make land that
very night; he ordered, therefore, a vig
ilant look out to be kept from the forcas-
tle, promising to whomsoever should
make this discovery, a doublet cf velvet,
in addition to the pensions given by the
sovereigns. The breeze had been fresh
all day, with more sea than usual, and
they had made great progress.—At sun
set they bad stood again to the west, and
were ploughing the waves at a rapid rate,
thePinta keeping the lead, from her su
perior sailing. The greatest animation
prevailed th r oughout the ships, not an
eye was closed that night. As the eve
ning darkened Columbus took his sta
tion on the top of the castle or cabin on
the high poop of his vessel. However
he might carry a cheerful aod confident
countenance during the day, it was to
him a time of the most painful anxiety;
and now, when he was wrapped from
observation by the shades of night, he
maintained an intense and unremitting
watch, ranging his eye along the dusky
horizon, in search of the most vague in
dications ofland. Suddenly, about 10,
he thought he beheld alight glimmering
at a distance. Fearing that his eager
hopes might deceive him, he called to
Pedro Gutierrez, gentleman of the king’s
bedchamber, and inquired whether he
saw a light in that direction ; the latter
replied in the affirmative. Columbus,
yet doubtful whether it might not be
some delusion of the fancy, called Rod
rigo Sanchez of .Segovia, and made the
same inquiry. By the time the latter
had ascended the round-house, the light
had disappeared. They saw it once or
twice afterwards in sndden and passing
gleams, as if it were a torch in the bark
of a fisherman, rising and sinking with
the waves, or in the hand of some person
onshore, borne up and down as he walk
ed from house to house. So transient
and uncertain were these gleams, that few
attached any importance to them: Co
lumbus, however considered them as cer
tain signs ofland, and, moreover, that the
land was inhabited. They continued
their course until two in the morning,
when a gun from the Pinta gave the joy
ful signal of the land. It was first disco
vered by a mariner named Rodrigo de
Triana; but the reward was afterwards
adjudged to the admiral, for having pre
viously perceived the light. The land
was now clearly seen about two leagues
distant, whereupon they took in sail, and
laid to, waiting impatiently for the dawn.
The thoughts and feelings of Columbus
in this little space of time must have been
tumultuous and intense. At length, in
spite of every difficulty and danger, he
had accomplished his object. The great
mystery of (he. ocean was revealed ; his
theory, which had been the scoff of sages,
was triumphantly established ; he had se
cured to himself a glory, which must he
as durable as the world itself. It is diffi
cult even for the imagination to conceive
the feelings ofsucli a man at the moment
of so sublime a discovery. What a be
wildering crowd of conjectures must have
thronged upon his mind as to the land
which' lay in darkness! That it was
fruitful was evident from the vegetables
which floated from its shores. He
thought, too, that he perceived in the
balmy air the fragrance of aromatic
groves. The moving light which he had
beheld had proved that it was the resi
dence of man. But what were its inhabi
tants ! Were thev like those of the other
parts of ihe globe? or were they some
strange and monstrous race, such as the
imagination iti those times was prone to
give to a’ll remote and unknown regions?
Had he c-ime upon some wild island far
in the Indian sea 7 or was this the famed
Cipango itself, the* object of his golden
fancies? A thousand speculations of the
kind must have swarmed upon him, ns,
with his anxious crews, he waited fertile
night to pass away ; wondering whether
the morning light would reveal a savage
wilderness, or dawn upon spicy groves,
and glittering fanes, and gilded cities, and
all the splendor of oriental civilization.
It was on the morning of Friday, the
12ih of October, 1492, that Columbus
first beheld the New World. When the
day dawned he saw before him a level and
beautiful island, several leagues in extern,
of great freshness and verdure, and cover
ed with trees, like a continual orchard.—
Though every thing appeared in the wild
luxuriance of untamed nature, yet the
island was evidently populous, for the in
habitants were seen issuing from the
woods, and running from all parts to the
sitore, where they stood gazing at the
ships. They were all perfectly naked,
and from their attitudes and gestures, ap
peared to be lost iu astonishment. Co
lumbus made a signal for the ships to cast
anchor, and the boats to be manned and
armed. He entered his own boat, richly
attired in scarlet, and bearing the Royal
standard ; whilst Martin Alonzo Pinzon,
and Vincent Janez, his brother, put off in
company in their boats, each bearing the
banner of the enterprise emblazoned wilh
a green cross, having on each side the let
ters F, aud I., the initials of the Castilian
monarchs, Ferdinando and Isabella, sur
mounted by crowns. As they approach
ed the shores they were retreshed by the
sight of the ample forests, which in those
climates have extraordinary beauty of ve-
getatiou. They beheld fruits of tempting
hue, but unknown kind, growing among
the trees which overhung the shores. The
puritv and suavity of the atmosphere, the
crystal transparency of the seas which
bathe these islands, give them a wonder
ful beauty, and must have had their effect
upon the susceptible feelings of Colum
bus. No sooner did he land than he
threw himself open his knees, kissed the
earth, and returned thanks to God with
tears of joy. His example was followed
by the rest, whose hearts indeed over
flowed with the same feelings of gratitude.
Columbus then rising drew his sword, dis
played the Royal standard, and assem
bling round him the two captains, with
Rodrigo Escondido notary of the arma
ment ; Rodrigo Sanchez, and the rest
who had landed, he took solemn posses
sion in the name of the Castilian sove
reigns, giving the island the nameofSau
Salvador. Having complied with the re
quisite forms and ceremonies, he now cal
led upon all present to take the oath of
obedience to him as admiral and viceroy
representing the persons of the sovereigns.
The feelings of the crew now burst forth
in the most extravagant transports. They
had recently considered themselves devo
ted men hurrying forward to destruction,
they now looked upon themselves as fa
vorites of fortune, and gave themselves
up to the most unbounded joy. They
thronged around the admiral in their over
flowing zeal. Some embraced him,
others kissed his hands. Those who had
been most mutinous and turbulent during
;he voyage, were now m<>st devoted and
enthusiastic. Some begged favours of
him as of a man who had already wealth
and honours in his gift. Many abject
spirits, who had outraged him by their in
solence, now crouched ’ as it were at his
feet, begging pardon for all the trouble
they had caused him, and offering for the
future the blindest obedience to his com
mands. The natives of the island, when,
at ihe dawn of day, they had beheld the
ships, with their sails set, hovering on
their coast, had supposed them some
monsters which had issued from the deep
during ihe night. They had crowded to
the beach and watched their movements
with awful anxiety. Their veering about
apparently without effort, the shifting and
the furling of their sails resembling huge
wings, filled ihem with astonishment.—
When they beheld their boats approach
the shore, and a number of strange beings
clad in glittering steel or raiment, ot vari
ous colours, landing upon the beach,
they fled iu affright to their woods.—
Finding, however, that there was no at
tempt to pursue or molest them, they
gradually recovered from their terror, and
approached the Spaniards with great awe ;
frequently prostrating themselaes on the
earth, and making signs of adoration.—
During the ceremonies of taking posses
sion, they remained gazing in timid admi
ration at the complexion, the beards, the
shining armour, and splendid dress of the
Spaniards. The admiral particularly at
tracted their attention, from his com
manding height, his air of authority, his
dress of scarlet, and the deference paid
by his companions ; all which poinied him
out to be commander. When they had
still further recovered from their fears
they approached the Spaniards, touched
their beards, and examined their hands
and face, admiring their whiteness. Co
lumbus, pleased with their simplicity, their
gentleness, and the confidence they re
posed in beings who must have appeared
to them so strange and formidable, suffer
ed their scrutiny with perfect acquies
cence. The wondering savages were won
by this benignity : they now supposed that
the ships had sailed oOt of the crystial fir
mament which bounded theit horizon, or
that they had descended from above on
their ample wings, and. that the marvel
lous beings were inhabitants of the skies.
BEAUTIFUL EXPERIMENT.
The following beautiful chemical expe
riment may easily he performed by a lady
to the great astonishment of the circle of
her tea party. Take two or three blades
of red cabbage, cut or tear them iuto small
bits, put them into a basin, and pour a pint
of boiling -water on them; let it stand an
hour and then decant the liquid into a
glass bottle it will be of a fine violet blue
colour. Then take four wine glasses—in
to one put two or three drops of sulphuric
acid, or five or six drops of strong vinegar
into another put five or sir drops of a so
lution of soda, into a third as much of a
strong solution of alum, and let the fourth
glass remain empty. The glasses from
the bottle, and the liquid poured into the
glass containing the acid will soon
change the colour and become a beautiful
red, that in the glass containing the so
da a finejgreen, and that containing the
alum, a fine purple, while that poured into
the empty one will of course, remain un
changed. By adding a little vinegar to
the green, it will immediately change to a
red & by adding a little of the solution of
soda to the red, it will assume a fine green;
thus showing the action of acids and alk
alis on vegetable blues.
Dog Mill.—An ingenious machine Mr.
Mathias, of this city, has in operation in
King street, a mill for sawing timber for
sashes and wiudowblinds, driven not by
steam power nor bv water, nor cattle pow
er, but by dog power. Four dogs belong
to the establishment. They are worked
two at a time for about fifteen minutes,
when the team is taken off, and a reky of
the two other dogs put to labour. They
travel on the circumference of the iuside
of a wheel about 12 or 15 feet iu diameter
which gives motion to the machinery
which drives a circular saw with great
velocity. It requires some days and some
art to break a dog in. It is really amu
sing to observe the sagacity of these ani
mals. The}' are taught a practical lesson
that industry is necessary to animal wel
fare. The co st of keeping four dogs is
estimated at only 6d per dav.

Indian Spring Reserve.
I N conformity to an act of the Legislature of
the 22d day of December last, “ to dispose
of the McIntosh Reserves in the county of Butts,”
the dndersigned Commissioners have had the
Ocmulgee Reserves laid off into *• four lots as
near y square as practicable,” embracing 530
acres and have ascertained, that there will be 32
lots of 2acres, on the Indian Spring Reserve; 14
do. of4 acres; 10do. of20 acres, and 16 do. of30
acres —total 72 lots. They will therefore offer for
sale, on Monday, the 21st day of April next, the
4 lots of the Ocmulgee Reserve, at the house of
Mr. Alexander, 011 said lands, and invite the at
tention of all those who wish to purchase valua
ble lands.—And on the next day, (Tuesday, the
22d of April) they will commence sel’ingthe lots
at the Indian Springs, on that reserve, beginning
on the 2 acre-lots, then the 4, and so on, in regu-
lat aider, until all are sold.
The 2 acre lot No. 2, bason it a large house 74
feet by 50, built for a Tavern, with a kitchen and
out-houses. There are also other lots that have
houses or summer tents, calculated for rent or
occupancy the ensuingseason.
The sales will tie made each day, until all are
sold, between 10 and 2 o’clock, and one-fifth of
the amount of the purchase money must be paid
on the day of sale, in terms of the law, and the
baiance “ iu four equal annual instalments.”
A plan of the lots will be left with Col. Baley,
at the Springs, for the inspection of all persons
who may call.
It is expected by the Commissioners, that the
advantages o( the vill»ge contemplated at the In
dian Springs, in the use of Mineral Water, and
other prospects of health, ought and will briug
