The State of Onto.—The Columbus
State Journal presents us with a brief synop
tical view of the progiesa of Ohio, which
may bo regarded as a great moral and politi
cal curiosity. It was on the 9th of July,
1780, that General Arthur St. Clair
first landed at Fort Harmar, for the purposo
of assuming tho office of Governor of the
North WeBiern Territory, a country which,
though destined, in forty years, to afford a
home to dearly two millions of civilized peo
ple, was then a pathless wilderness, tenanted
only by tavage* and the beasts of the forest.
The first attempt at a permanent settlement
had been made on (ho 7th of April of the
same year, ot Marietta; the settlers amount*
cd to forty seven. They were followed by
very few until the victory of Wayne over the
Indian*-in 1794; but nfter that event the
tide of immigration flowed with great rapidi
ty. A constitution did form of government

that a courier had just arrived from Admiral
(ireig, with news that the Turkish licet
which had entorod tho Black Men, had has
tened back to the Bosphorus, on learning
that ihc Russian fleet had gone to meet it.
Immediately aftor this hasty rotroat, the Rus
sian Admiral reinforced tho squadron station
ed offthe channel of Constantinople, and or
dered somp ships to cruise on tho east const
of Natolia. About 20 Turkish transports
fell into the hands of tho Russians, and a new
frigate was set on firo by tho Russian squad
ron near Schilli, not far from tho Bosphorus.
Important Recounts may bo expected from
Asia, as it appears by advicos from Constan
tinople, that Persia is about to moke common
cause with Turkey, and that Gen. Paskc-
witch having received large reinforcements
of men, and supplies of artillery, was prepar
ing to advance upon Erzenim.
Provisions had been received in Constan-
tinonlc, both by sea and land, from Smyrna,
undlikowiso from tho Black Sea.

The Gentleman's Magazine of Fashion, for
(hu last month, is peculiurl), amusing.—-
Its remarks on the subject of male dress arc
curiously interesting, and deserve to he
generally diffused among all classes. With
this view wo have extracted o few passages
for the amusement of our readers, who, we
are convinced, wifi peruse them with both
pleasure and instruction.
A green frock, lha colour of tho oak-ap
ple, very full about the hips, with n.-broad
collar, turned back, with the flaps very wide,
not discovering any portion of the lining,
which is of a mulerial equally flexible os tho
cloth; a straw-colored waistcoat embroidered
with black, am) a collar cut like that of the
coat; u cravQt of black satin ;knit pantaloons,
very full, of fawn colour; leather boots, high
ly vurnished, ascending half way up the leg,
and wruckcd over tho instep; polished steel
spurs; aud very deep rutiles tucked up uuder
the cuff; such is tho stylo of dress amongst
young men of good tn9to.
In dishabilo, nothing is reckoned more ele
gant thnn a great coat, the color of the cedar
bark, with a round collar, edged with braid
iog, and, in front, the braiding placed on as
in hunting vests. Instead of fastening before
by buttons, it is by a lace, which' passes
through tho loops of the braiding on these
kind of groat coats.
Tho most elegant ovening dress is a bronze-
colored coat, with buttons of the same, or one
of bluo with gold buttons, figured in a waving
pattern These buttons aro of a small siV.e,
and very near each other at the hn6e of the
waist, which is, consequently, vety tight.—
Tho flaps aro largo, aud ought to be supple,
and slightly rounded at Lhn borders. False
pockets arc no longer worn: but tbe form of
tho waist should he very distinctly marked
out, without, however, discovering tbo senin,,
which, in tho coast formerly worn, used to
appear to divide them in two parts.
Gentlemen nt bnlls wear frock coats of
black, blue, dark green, or raven grey ; but
blue or blnck ore most in favor; tho panta
loons are full; a waistcoat of some fino light
spring material, of clarot color, threaded
with gold or silver.
Tho fashion of conserving the board, ol
which wc made mention in our last number,
gaius ground Every man of fashion who
has received this manly ornament from na
ture. suflors it to meet the favoritess uuder
tho chin.
The hats havo not varied much ; the lin.-
ing is of red Moroco ; the crown cylindrical
nt the summit, and very high; however,
there arc some very elegant men who yet
wear hats with low crows.
The cast of an ugly phiz is much improved
by a good formed hot. A man having avc
ry long face should not wen? a hat boated
much ; on tho contrary, b man with a round
lace should wear rather a broad brim, turned
up smart at tbe sides.
Some tilburys havo been seen with two
horses harnessed across. There are other
fashionable men who wo know aro possessed
both both of carriages and horses, who pre
fer walking on foot in a blue or brown great
coat, with a velvet collar, turned down: a
silk cravat spread over the breast, a brown
silk waistcoat, and glazed leather gloves, the
colour of the butter-cup.
There are some exclusives who we Jj
gingham shirts, with wry pale blue stripes,
or lilac ; these arc fastened over the breast
by ten buttons of mother-of-pearl.
It is a custom among some of our cquisi-
tes to put into q sido pocket tbo money tboy
win at the card table, in the same manner
they would a pocket handkerchief, or a pair
of gloves.
Onr men of fashion have becomo great
amateur* of snufl boxes ; many of these are
oi polished steel, and bear a high price,
Tbe rye-glass of a man of fashion is no lon
ger suspended to a ribbon, but to a gold
chain. \

Tflfii Tho Columbui Inquire/
of tho 25 th ult. mentions that a thousand
stand of arms had been ordered by (ho Presi
dent io be forwarded to Fort Mitchell, and
that a detachment of thirty or forty regulars
on their way to Fort Mitchell* passed through
Columbus on the 22d ult. Tho commander
atatod that additional force would bo ordered
to that place from Pendleton, S. C. and alio
from Charleston.
The Enquirer says—“The excitement cre
ated by Crowell’s report ofliortiio intentions
among the Indians, has pretty much sobsided.
Many of the Head Men of the Notion have
visited Columbus for tbo purpose of enquir
ing into the cause of tbe alarm, and thoy all
concur in denouncing tho report ob false,
and totally unfdundod. They deny that tbo
question of war with the whiles was agitated
inthoir councils, and notwithstanding tbo
Agent’s notorious hostility to voracity, they
cannot conceive what kind of statements ho
could have made to tho'War Department,
sufficient to induce the Government to army
a n ilitary forco against them on tho frontier*.
We understand that many of them will coll
upon tho Agent io a few days to know of
him what representations he has made to the
Secretary of War, and tho facts upon which
ho predicated his communication.”
In consequence of the alarm caused by tho
many alarmiug reports several citizens of
Columbus had sought an interview with the
agent, and give the following as tho sub
stance of their conversations with him. ,
Ho stated to us, that he had been appris
ed of a secret council having been been held
by the Indians, in which they hud come to
the determination to send deputations, and
had dune so, to tho several Indian tribes, to
ascertain whether tho same talk had been
sent to them by tho President aa that which
they had received, and if so to lake a stand
in opposition to the views of the Government
and do ns much injury aa thoy could, and
then die on their land.—this information ho
had derived from a Chief, a? also from some
private Indians, some time previous. We
are informed that tho deputations that wero
sent to tho Sonmioles, had been instructed
to ascertain if there were any English or
Spanish vessels along the coast, from whom
they could procure amunitioo ; he had also
learned that Ridge was preparing a talk for
the Cherokee*, in which (hey were advised
not to give up their lands io accordance with
the wishes of the Government. He inform
ed us ho had communicated this information
to the War Deportment, that such measures
might be adopted ns they might deem ex
pedient, Col. Crowell treated the matter
lightly, and had no apprehensions of his own
safety or any immediate danger to tbe fror -
tier inhabitants—he had no doubt that they
(tho Creeks) had determined in their own
mind to proceed to hostility, but that its ac
complishment depended on so many and such
retnc'lp contingencies, (bat bo thought it
uncertain, or rather improbable, whether
they would effect it. Ho represented the
improbability of (ho Choctaws and Chicka-
sawa acting in concert with them, and other
obstacles to the accomplishment of their rash
dasigns—Ho further staled that ho had been
furnished with an affidavit, shewing the op
position of certain individuals to emigration,
which he had forwarded to tho Governor of
Alabama. Ho stated that ho should not
have hesitated to impart this information to
the Governors of Georgia and Alabama, had
he believed that the public safety at thm
time required it, but nt present there was no
danger '; and if any should hereafter exist,
lie wax' confident he should be npprised of
it sufficient 1 }’ early for timely notice to be
given to the proper authorities, ub well aB to
tho frontier inhabitants.

Tbe following directions for boiling Rice

to add to its circulation abroad, it having

mode of cooking bettor known.
Put your Rico in an open pot. covering it
with water ; then put it on the fire to boil—
when it is boiled so aa to become aoft, (which
is easily ascertained by means of a wooden
ladle, which we call a hominy stick) take it
off the fire, drain off the water, and cover
tho pot so ns to retain ^he hunt—then put it
on coals, or hot ashes, for about 15 or 20
minutes, so ns to throw off the steam, or as
it is usually called—to soak. Your rice is
then ready for the table.

We publish to day, a Petition, which is

designs of tliH parly, and we regretted ex*
coedingly for the character of that respecta

question bad ever been carried. For many .
years past there has beep a gradual spreading
of Northern feelings tmd opinion over tho

tho occasion to revolutionise Virginia can
littlo bo doubted. Internal Improvement by
the general government, protection of Na

called) and the destruction of slave property
form the groat views of tbe Mercer party.—
Heretofore the wcatlh and influence of Vir

raise the question—alarm tho fears of the
weak, and thereby reduce tbe value of slaves
