The influence of this season over the
imagination, was a trite subject of prosing
a thousand years before Milton ■ affirmed
that his Muse was most propitious in 'he
Spring; and there can be no doubt as" has
been remarked* by a close observer, a'
warm admirer, and vivid painter of Nature
. tbatrihe season of the reproduction and
the awakening of the slumbering powefs
of Nature in the aroma and' brilliancy of
vegetation aqd fl 'Wers,. calls excitability
into action, and imparts' a vigorous and
fiappy effect to the imagination. Tet, we
cannot but agree witb'Mr. Flint when he
goes on in his beautiful language to ob
serve, that.“the Indian-summer davs of
autumn, with the associated repose of Na
ture, the broad and crimson disk of thb
stin. enthroned in the dome of a' misty
sliy, th?_r li.im>olrr pmc in the firmament;
the coloring of-the forests, and
the dishing fall.-of the first leaves,”.have,
in our climate, a far more powerful effect
upon that faculty, and stimulate it with a
deeper, though with a less .vivacious ac
tiort. Still therb is such a charm- in the
renovating freshness of Nature add the
morning sounds of wakening earth in
spring-ti .e, that even in out climate,'
where the season is as capricious as the ,

the amorous poet, in the sonnet quoted
at the head of this pargraph .(one of his ve.

IN -NEW ZEALAND.
We take the following description from
••Mr?. MurieH’s N<*rratrve.” The lady
had already spent one day at the Mission
cry establishment.
•'The neat day-we could not sail as tve
expected, thewiad blowing too freshfrom
the-north.. The natives, seeing this, were
desirous that we should again come on
shore, and an invitation for us to visit them
came from the king and queen, which was
accepted. This was the 23d da., of Jan
uary, 1830: The boats of the Antarctic
Were prepared, and those of the ships
yoined, amounting in all to twelve whale
boats, handsomely manned. The natives
had expected us, and came in myraids (o
see us. On touching the shore we were t
met by Kippt Kippx, the king; , the’queen i
then approached, and extended Her hand
most courteously to weicernean Amen- i
can w,.man to her territ >ry; Hur ap- <
pearance was affable and kind. ’ After our i
greeting was passed, she waved a faifshe i
held in her left hand, and at this signa! ;
more than seven thousand of their train, i
of both sexes, broke out into a song of j
jayons welcome; after which 'hey gave I
three- cheers that made the welkinting. i
They their formed two double parallel i
lines, tho females composing the inner,' 1
and the males the outer sections. As we I
advanced, the females fell on their knees, 1
and the males on one knee. 1 was carried 1
on a sort of stage or chair, by six of their
principal warriors, who proceeded «r>h
great state and solemnity, decorated-wita
feathers of difTment kinds. Some of
their ornaments were of surpassing beau
ty. The women all bore a green branch
in their hands, and the heads ol the men
were ornamented with branches and sea
thers. When we came within fifty yards
of the king’s palace, the pathway was
strewed with beautiful wild flowers, q lite
to the door, where we found elegant mats
spread for at least ten yards square. The
King now spread befote us a superb ban
quet of the choicest fruits of hie clime;
add the young women Entertained us w.th
many songs, of ho ordinaty melody; af
ter ’which itie warriors gave us a war
danefc for our amusembrit. There weri
at least two hundred of them.- The king
then came forward and made u's a speech,
and to my surprise, he spoke very good
English. The substance of the oration
1 was in praise of the missionaries. He
that before these good men came
they knew nothing, but that now they
were good men j that they could now lie
dfoWn, and sleep Without fear of being
killed by their enemies ; that now they
could sleep in peace; and that before
these good men came, they had eaten hu
m'an flesh, and jhoirght ft acceptable So
their gods. The night coming oji, I
Could not obtain all the information 1
' could wish. I acquainted the queen that
1 must*ft<»w leave her and, go on b >atd ?
at which’ she clasped mb iri her artfis, and
kissed me'several times. She made me
- many presents of Elegant mats and dtrli
: care shdlls, when I tobk my .departure,
and was attended to the boats with great
ceremony. The bows being directed to
our Vessels, the tars, both English and
Ainerihatt 1 , dropped their oars at a signal,
ahd the boats were propelled like dolphins
tfiVough the water.
As soon as we left the bbach, tbo da
tives gave three cheers, which were an
swered by our men with great glee. In
a'few minutes, we reached the Antarctic,
where we found a gieat many canues
alongside, loaded with* potatoes and hogs
ih abundance, presents from the king and
queen. It would be difficult afteruthls to
make me believe that missionaries could
do no good among savages; such as we
saw Wo ult|. do good any where. Ina few
short years air within llieir influence had
been softened, and effery one was anx
ious to more enlightened. Some
[ genileness that allcncls life po
. lite and good in any country. The terri
fit mdhareb of fierce warnoti was now
!. as courteous as a man could be, brought
up iu the brtsom of polished society,* and
at thtf'very first opportunity made an open
acknowledgment of his obligations to re*
ligion and letitfrs. 1 did not consider'that
these honors were paid to me aS no iodi
. vidua), b’tft to all females of my own
country and'those of the English nation.*
The next morning, January 24th, we
took leave of all our English friends and
the natives, gbt under way, and put to sea
I with a fresh bieelu and a light rain,
buund'to Manilla.”
Sound Conveyed by Solids.
'Apply the ear to a table while some
t person is scratching with a piu at the other
, end, through the air it willnut be audible,
bui perfectly so by the medium of the
solid. Falstaff tellsßardolph,or one of the
'• kuights of St. Nicholas, to put his ear to
,' (he ground to listen for the passengers
j.. they intended to rob, being sensible he
could hear a sound with greater ease by
the solid, than conveyed through the air.
. Thieves are often not bad natural phil
osophers; miners are* detected by the
sound bi their tools-iri thd same manner.
The muttering earthquake is the souud'of
subterranean explosions conveyed from
immensely distant spots by ihe solid earth.
Yaurmflsital snuff box,-heid in the hand;
is scarcely audible; put it against the door,
on the sideboard, of table, it will vibrate
Like a harp. You see people ascertain
, whether a kettle boils by putting the poker
on the lid/ond the other end to the ear,
(that is if you ever mix in company where
an urn is not used;) the bubbling of the
water then appears to them louder than
the noise'of a carriage passing io the street.
A 'slight'blow given to the same poker, of
which the end is still held to the ear, pro
duces a sound that jars terribly bn the ear
of the person to whom the poker is' ap
plied, though scarce beared in the room
by others. You hear of haunted houses,
of noises in them, they are nearly always
produced by a spectre that offers no ter
rors to the ages,the spirit of sound cours
ing over solids; as of a rat scratching in
ibecellars, heard in the garret, the wind
whistling through a subterranean crevice,
or o’clock vibrating aloft, when hung a
gainst a wall. The fact that solid* con
vey sound much more perfectly than air,
rests not'as an abstract principle of no u
tility. To the medical profession this
fact has mrnisrefe’d essential benefit.' Dr.
Lienee,"of Paris, proposed, -Some years
ago, to listen to the sounds Tn tbeintdrior
of the body, and to those in thi chest es
peciallp'by the application of the stetes-'*
cope, or chest surveyor, to the" surface of
it at one end of*this ! 'wooden cylinder, and
the ear at the other. Now what lakes
place in the chest, consist of the entrance'
and exit of air iff breathing the
motion of the blood in the heart &> blood
vessels, on all which actions the *teiho
scope gives us th& advantages nearly e
qual to sight, and thus does one seftse,'with
the wise man, serve the purpose of two:
in fact, he has numerous senses'and per
cept ions, «>f which ther ignorant never
dieam. ’ Think now uh the number of the .
iiihabiiatfts of Europe, .commOmy- stated
at a fifth, that‘die of diseases of the che*t,
iuflarUajatldcs, abscesses, phthysics, drop
sical deposits,, auflurisms, affections of the
heart and blood vessels, then judge of the
importance of the stethoscope. Medical
men at first ridiculed this igstnimenr, ma-
ny do not understand its use even now.— —
This is greatly owing to the wretched
state us medical education of; practition
ers to their utter shame, being wholly un
acquainted with the simplest principles of
the laws of nature.

a.nt Indians and lodian'couutrymen, with
the belief,that he (is authorised to say, from
the auiheri y of the War Department,
that iti a short time, all the Georgia sut
lers, who have, settled under the author
ity of tho laws of Georgia, will be driven
from their homes by the United State?’
Army. There wnay be some exaggera.-
tron io these statements; but I am forced
to the dohtliAiun, from what I have
heard, and from the reading of this impni
dem loner, that great efforts are making
in that country to mislead,-and delude tlrb
.unforniiiate Cherokees.
I do not hesitate iu my reply? to >uc!i
communications, to assure the people ol
thpt country, that no change has taken
place in the views pf the Federal Exccn
tive/and that the fudTans so long as they
choose to remain tn Georgia, most yield
implicit obediance to the supremacy ol
the laws of the State. And that no pow
dr of the Federal Government, will ever
be exerttf&'tb remove tfib inhabitants who
have settled under the authority of the

But f consider it highly important that
you should with all possible dispatch,
make such a communication :o the Cher

ries’of'the'bharacier pointed- oiit. Such
a communication should be publicly and
authentically made to the whole people
who may assemble at their council on the
14ih of next month.--It is submitted to
your consideration, whether a commjioi
cation from .you or the President of the
Uhifed States himself, might riot be made
through me to the Cherokees most effec
tually. At any rate, please to let me hear
from you immediately or) this subject, for
I deem it indispensable,at their approach

idle delusion into which these.people ate
led, bv the exertions of bad menr. If the

DEPARTMENT OF WAR.
Office indian affairs, March 14tu 1833.
Sir. —Your lettei on ihe B'h inst. ad
dressed to the Secratary’of War, on the
subject of intrusion on Cherokee laud, by
white citizens, has been referred to this
office for reply. It cafinot be denied'that
your compliants are well founded, and
that your people have sustained ityu
nos from the rapacity and lawless conduct
of our citizens. It is however in some
degree, an unavoidable evil, incident to
the present condition of your tribe, and
no blame is faiily attributable to the De
partment on that account. It is due to
the Secretary of War to say, that so somi
as he recieved notice of intruders having
presented themselves on your lands, he
pave orders for their expulsion. These
order's will now be repeated and a military
force will forthwith be despatched to the
assailed .part's of yocr'cuumry-, for the pur
pose of expelling and keefiiug off intruders
and orders will also be'igiven tojtlie Dis
trict Attorney of the United States to
prosecute for trespass all such as ' may
dare to return after their expulsion. You
cannot consider it a misplaced assurance
and it is made with the utmost sincerity
that the Bepartmeut cherishes deep soli
citude for the welfare of your nation, and
will to the extent of its powers endeavor
to promote It.
With high respect,
your humble serv’’t,

letter of the 26; h ult. together with the
copy df’oue from the Commissioner , 4 of
Idian Affairs, dated .March 14th,’ and ad
dressed to some of the principal men a
mong the ‘ Cherokees.
Before the receipt ofyour letter, ap
plication had been made by some of the
Cherokees, to know whether any change
.had taken place io the opinions of the
President, respecting the constitutional
right of the Executive to remove persons
from land, claimed by the Indians, where
the laws of the State had beep extended
over such land. They stated that they
made the inquiry, because some of their
people bad taken, up such an i©pre«s ; on /
founded on the above letter of tha Com
missioner. Immediate measures were ta
ken to correct this misapprehension,,
explanatory letters, copies of wHicfi 'l
have the honor to enclose, were written
and despatched to Col. Montgomery, the
Chrokee Agent, Major Curry the special
Agecn, for emigration, and to the Chero
kee persons who sought the information.
These letters will undoubtedly remove
any errors, which may have prevailed
and will show that the opinions of the
President, are unchanged.
Very respectfully, 1 have the honor to
be your ob’t serv’t.

from several of the Cherokees, I have
been instructed by the Secretary of War,
to call your attention t<» my letter to you
of March 13th, 1833, and to say to you
that the provisions of that letter relate
solely to those portions of the Cherokee

laws' of those State£h'ave not been extend
ed. of the President upon
this subject have been often and too pub
licly expressed? to leafve any doubt of the:
course which, iu his opiirion, should be
pursued. And this explanation would
have been considered unnecessary* had
not some of the Cherokees, intimated dif
ferent views. The president yrt ’kinks,
as he has always thought,* the Executive
has no cousti'Utional right to apply milita

Will see b\ these leueis, that some mis
apprehension has existed, as has been as

That order is intended to opeiate only

could arise. If however atij has arisen
it Wid be cleared up by these

to which you allude from the War De

My letters to Mr. Ross, and others of the'

of the 15ih of March, were intended to

THE MAILS.
It is impossible, when we contemplate
lhe-course of events and our daily trans
actions, not to bear in mind the language
Shakspeare puts into the mouth of Flu
ellen, in his conversation with Henry :
“All” «as “the King’s fault’’—and, in
the instance before us, all is the fault of
the Genet al Post Office. Now whatev
er may be the peccadillos of the G. P. O.
and its agents, I have no hesitation in say
ring,- that the greater fault is to be found
in the want of energy in the people, espe
cially of S. C. To this is to be attirbuted
the great delay io tho Malls, and to this
may be ascribed that exclusive brood of
contractors "whose palaces rise like ex
halations, and whose equipages blaze like
meteors.’’ .These have obtained posses
sion of all the avenues to the G. P. O.
Access is not denied to others, but never
demanded by them.
If I mistake not, the price of convey;
ing the Mail iu the Southern States is 87$
cents per mile.
In England, the maximum price for
hoi sing the Mail is 20 cents (ten pence.)
ijiat of hire for the carriage is 6 cents
(three pence.) The coachman is furnish
ed by the. horse owner, anti a Guard by
tho Government, c (f .
Tire speed of these Sputherfi Mails
does not eiceed 3 miles an hour.
1 From Chester to Sfiewsbufy, .in Eng
land, <he distance i's 40 miles, and it is run
in 4 hours.
From Edinburg to London, the 400
miles are run in 40 hours; so that inclu
ding stoppages, the travel is 11 miles per
hour.
From Exerterto London, the 173 miles
are ran in 20 hours.
The Devonpurt Mbit travels 227 miles
in 22 tibirrs.
Now, let us see the system by which
this rapidity of travelling is obtained.
liii the fust place, ten horses are kept
for ten miles jffudr f»»r goin£, four for re
turning, and two for testing. Tiiat it has
tfofKed well in England is demonstrated
by the actual price <>f horses. Notwith
standing tl]s rapidity of travel, it is now
only sllO oi £23- They last three
years.
The plair is—A, B, C, and D contract
io horse a coach 8b miles—each 20 miles.
In this diise, he is said to cover both sides
of the road. At the end of the lunar
mbnth a settlement takes place, and if the
£ros/, earnings should be s4s of £lO per
mile, and leave $3840 or £BOO, to divide
between the four proprietors, or to each
$960 or £2OO, or $12,480 or £2,600 pei
ano. after the charges of tolls (these aie
not Mail Stages, but carriages that do not
receive a stiver from the Government)
duty to ti.e revenue (eight cents, or two
pence per mile, I believe,) 2 coaeijmen’s
wages, hire of the carriage .per mile from
the coach maker, porter’s wages, two
booking eflices, and daily wasiirng the
coaches—these charges amount to $720
■ r £l5O, or .nearly. $768 or £I6Q, tu each
proprietor for the expences of his twenty
horses being $9 60 or £2 per week for
each horse. Less tIN n $-18 or £lO per

The carriages cost s(>72 or £l4O. The

Let u* now suppose that we could find
an A,'B, C and Dto set up a stage be
tween Fayetteville A Charleston, byway
of Lumberion, Darlington, Kingstree and
(if its enterprising proprietor cannot find a
nearer A better one,) Leuud’s Ferry. I
say Leuud’s Ferry, becauseit is the only
certain one, and one, that I apprehend is
well calculated for a Ferry, established
on the German plan. Fur the particulars,
together with an useful application and
illustration of its principles, I would refer
him and the proprietor of the Fee Bee
Ferry to the April number of the Fraklin
Institute Journal
This is decidedly "he best and most
certain route. It avoids three nut of five
Ferries, and from Pee Dee to Kingstree,
has as fine a road to run as is to be found
in Che world. VIATOR*

We have seen a letter from an unquestionable!

cumstances of the defalcation of the Cashier ofl
the Office of Discount and Deposite in that place!
We are glad to be able to apprise the public, tha!
the credit of that Institution cannot be eflectedl
by such deficiency, the securities of the Cashietj
being undoubted, and this, with the amount ofl
his property transferred to the Bank, will cover
all deficieuces within an inconsiderable amount.

At Holt’s hotel, in New York, boots are black,

cylinder, in number; the first takes
on the dirt, the second puts on the blacking, and
the third gives them the polish; and it can alf
be done in a third of a minute.

The Petersburg Intelligencer, in giving an ae-
Co.uut'Of the close of the New Market Races,
mentions that the Jpckgy £.h*b dined together,
& were honored with.the presence ol the Roan

elected an honorary member, A’ter the removal
of (he. Cloth the President gave as a toast—
“ Our distinguished guest—ik speedy restora
tion to hea'th.” 7
Mr. Randolph replied.to the compliment In his
singularly discursive and eloquent style His
speech was plentifully seasoned-with appropriate
anecdote, biting sarcasm high compliment, and
bold denunciation. Whilst Chief justice Mar

high-wrought praise, Daniel Webster and the
Editor of the Richmond Enquirer were com

evidently was, ( >vitb all the brilliancy, strength

L’he locomotive Phoenix, with two passen

up by‘the party. The distance perform

besides taking in wood and watery ex- t

proved to the satisfaction.of all, that the
mail to Augusta can ba transported with
safety and regularity jn less iha'n nfite

Charleston Courier, 27th. inst.
[From the Charleston Courier.]
In foi<ner years, agents were sent on
by the Postmaster-General whenever
failures were frequent, to discover the
cause ; and where neglect jyas apparent,
either in Postmasters or Mail. Contrac
tor* effectual measures were immediately
adopted to remedy the evil—if found io
be unavoidable, the public had at least the
satisfaction of having the causes of fail*
me explained. The state of affairs is
different now, the most gross irregularities
are suffered to pass off without notice,
and those who are engaged in the trans
portation of the mail, can consult their
own ease and convenience, with impunity**
while the interests of the public are eo.
tirely disregarded.
From the following correspondence, we'
should judge that instead of endeavoring
to afford facilities to the transmission of •
information there is J a disposition to ob
struct it. It wirk be seen that -the priv
ilege the public have hearetofor&eojoved,
of carrying on a correspondence with
New-York by the David Brown, is to be
hereafter denied us. A public megitpg
should be called to take the whole subject .. ’
into consideration. Let the voice of the
people be heard— and obeyed. , .*• -
