A few miles from the soothera bw.ik oftho Chat
tahoochee Hea the Stone Mountain, or Rock of De
Knlb. During tho fall of the last year, the writer
of this little sketch, in compnnjr nf a few friends,
vi-ited this singular and majestic fabric. At the
distance nf three miles w« first obtained a glimpse
of its bleak and solemn walls, and after a Aviva of
half an hour arrived snftrly at It* base. Here a large
and showy hotel invited us to ease and refreshmant,
fur U was already past midday. While our host
prepared u* a meal, we amused oarsolves by look
ing over tbe register of tbe name* of visiters. One
in the wealth of bis imagination calls the mountain
Crtation't Bluff, and is to delighted with this
high-sounding fancy that ho forces it fivo times in
hi* half page of scribbling. Another, less poetical
in hi* nature, leaving tha mountain as perhaps too
indigestible, Informs us, in apparent rapture, how
lerge a supper be devoured, and how soundly he
slept on the r.lgbt of his visit. This man would
have been much better pleased with the mountain
had it been an English plum pudding, with a foun
tain of wine aauco bubbling over its sides. A mi
litia colonel writes as if issuing an order frora^the
summit—Attention, the Universe, the Whole l Poor
jpay. portal, as if Qy vote* paid fill Bee trapp «T,
the archangel,—thy voice, whloh could not be beard
as far as the cry of the carrion bird gliding (hr be
neath thy foot,—tby voice, whose loudest ewell the
mountain echo would scarcely deign to answer, but
tbe eddy of tbe blast would sweep it onward into
its airy ocean, unheard, unheeded, and forgotten.
When we bad dined we commenced the painful
ascent. From the hotel .tp the highest point ef the
rock, the distance is computed to be one mile aad a
half. But for the northern aide, which is perpeiK
dicutar, the mountain might ha safely competed, in
shape, tn tuifgg half buried in the s|nd. One of
these sides, then, tho western, must afford en as
cent comparatively easy, while the other* are very
eteep. The summit, though some what round, offer*
e comfortable promenade several hundred yard*
long. Tho rock is upwards, of a mile in length,
bulf a mile in breadth, and eight hundred feet high,
and Is composed of pure and solid granite. Its dis
tinguishing fixtures are its bareness anduelformlty.
Unlike other mountains, It presents no minor ob-
jeete to divide or dissipate the attention. No hilts
on hills, no projecting peaks, or hanging forests,
or gently sloping plains, by which tho pleased eye
end unfaiigued, arrives with a graduul and self-
possessed admiration, at tbe loftiest summit. Bar
ren nnd here H lifts its bold head to the sky. Ench
point and pnrticle is moulded to a subordinate place
in thu grand outline. No human intellect con grasp
the unity of it* vast ness, but falls back upon itself
dismayed ut tbu sublime idoa and the awe which it
inspires. The Almighty has ereeted hero a menu-
r mcnt to himself, un altar of one unhewn stono, upon
which every reflective mind delights to offer tha sa
crifice of bumble adoration.
In ascending the mountain Wp hud lo scale that
mysterious structure, supposed by visiters to have
been erected at some remote ora as a fortification.
Certuin it is that thoir production is the work of
man, and the method is uppnrently very simple. At
the distance of a few hundred yards from the sum.
mil lio a number of huge unattached recks. Their
situation la an enigma; all equidistant from the
summit, end so large that no power of mnn could
move them; yet there Is no plseodiscerniblo on ibo
rock above whence they could have broken nnd slid.
On the western side these masses are so numerous,
and approximate so near to each other, as almost,
unassisted, to present a natural nnd difficult harrier
to the intruder. Between them, lo complete the
ratn|Mrt, loose ledges from tho main rock have been
piled. But, whereforef By whom 1 Alas! una
vailing inquiries.
In silence, musing, we left this litliographlc frag
ment, nf perhaps u nation's history. A few mo
ments briskly walking, nnd wo stand upon tha
crown nfthamountain. Oh how exhillraling is this
mountain breece. From his far off home, pure nnd
unpolluted by the crimes, the curses, and tho breath
of men, the merry rover comes—sport# for a mo
moot round this hoary anle-diluvian—than glides
onwnrd to his unknown bourne. How now and
lofty tbe emotions that this scene awakens! How
sublime tho prospect 1 Como up hilhor, ull yo liltla
tilings, whose mental vision has boon all your life
bounded by tho narrow circumference of the dolliir
or the dime. Como up hither, and let your minds
expand with your horixon. Can U be, that you
would make this broud nnd glorious world, tho mere
hiding place of your coffers t From the peculiar
shape nnd bnrenoss of the stono mountain, you can
see, hy simply turning in your position, more than
slaty inilns in evety direction. But fuw features in
terrupt tho sublime Integrity of the vust plain. Tho
blue hills are seen malted down by distance. It
spreods far and wide, a terrene ocoan—tiio moun
tain rising another Bt. Helena from its bosom, until
lost and mingled with tho sky. And longer hurl wo
gated, but thu roving character and curiosity of
youth Impelled us away. Away, away then, wo
bounded in unoonlrnlabla excitement. To roll the
loose rock down the muunlain side, and await the
loud reply, at ench crash of tho falling thunder
awoke a thousand echoes. To fright the wild gont
from his mossy pasture, and to foot tho brink of tho
terrible precipice, ourself almost at fearless. Thus
ni length, we attained the eastern side. Hera u
now curiosity uwnitod. About half way down aru
two remarkablo fissures, called tho cross rouds, in'
tersecting each othor In tha form nf u Greek cross.
Tha floor umi wall* aro very smooch. Tho walls
tt(lotly perpendicular, though not parallel, ns they
gradually eonvrrgn from the centre, until they meet
at thu extremes. Those fissures are betweun four
and fivu foot deep, and as wido at the bottom a* at
thoir mouths. This fact chiefly constitute* tho cu
riosity, a* it preclude* tho possibility of u forco
below, and it Is difficult to assign any other enusn.
Visiter* frequently suggest tho idea, that they wore
formed in a miraculous manner, at the crucifixion of
am Saviour. " And tho rook* wuro ram," anith
thu snerod historian. From the cross roads, wo
hastened bank over the mountain, to descend.
While engaged in tho descent, wa enitght "the last
sun-bcam of expiring day," ns Its parent snnk calm
and ponceful us in tho Pacific. Wo nroso early tho
ensuing morning, tn tho sun-rlto from tho meuntnin.
Thu morning was cloudy, nnd wo wore apprehensive
that ha would be obscured. Just at the proper
moment, however, fortunn drew up tho curtain, nnd
Phccbus bounded into ills eburiat coursu. But ulus,
.we had not yet arrived nt thosummit. Yet although
we cnuld not sea the king of day mnko his entry,
from this sublime observatory, yet wo had a charm
ing glimpse of his yellow hair, as it seemml for a
moment to bo entangled in the moss and shrubbery
of the mountain. Having renowad, for snmo time,
tho pleasure. 1 ! of the preceding evening, wo again
doicended. nnd proceeded to contemplate the nor
thern side of tho mountain from its ha*o. Here,
fur half a mile in length, tha mountain rears It* aw-
(bi front, olght hundred foot perpendicular—an In-
stnnen of tho thoroughly sublime, in nature's perfect
testo, without ono jutting fragment to break thu vnst
simplicity—an adamantine curtain hung out from
the sky, or snmo huge billow hardened into stone.
Wa oould not speak—ihe voice of merriment was
huslied nnd mute. I almost ex|n-cted some spirit
hand to write the great name of God, upon this
wide granite sheet. As the Israelites must have
faxed,when led beneath the watery wall of Jordan,
we gated upon this mighty wondor, which soomed
ever ready to roll down upon and crush us. We
gated until the wrapt soul could cuntuln no more.
Farewell, thou hermit among mountains, clad in thy
messy mantle—the gray hair* of sixty centuries,
caught In their fight—thou art worn barren nnd do-
solute. Tha lightning has scarred thee, nnd the
perpetual shower has worn yet de*|wr furrows in
thy cheek. Yet wisdom will reap a rick harvest
from thy barrenness. Tfie eye of faith can see God
very plainly from thy summit. Thou silent orator,
abiding moral, farewell.
FURTHER EXTRACTS FROM LATE EN
GLISH PAPERS.
Lira Rcstorkd bt EtxcTBiciTr.—Last week
a little girl, named Hannah Shtets, fell head-fore-
most into a butt nf rain-water, which stood open in
the back yard of the house where her parents resi
ded lit Castle-street, Golden-square. It is hot ex
actly known how long she lay there, for she was
not immediately missed, and even then an anxious
March of many miuutes was made through the bouse
aad streets adjacent ere the water butt was thought
ai, When dragged out she was quite cold, and all
the usual remedies were tried, for a length of time,
by surgeon W B. Pnrkes, ofCarnaby-sireet without
success. Amongst tlie rest, alterants to inflate tbe
lungs were unremittingly perserved In for a consid
erable time. As a last resource, Mr. Parkua ap
plied the siimuluy of electricity. He first passed
shocks gently through the head nnd chest, along the
course of the spine, gradually Increasing their power,
and persevering during the whole time in the infla
tion of the lungs. After these means had been em
ployed conjointly for about ten minutes, faint traces
of respiration were observed, and, in ihrce-quurters
of an hour, ho had the pleasure to behold hi* patient
in a fair way of recuvory. The child it now in tlie
enjoyment of perfect health.—Morning Pott.
Vaccimatioi*.—It is stated is the Londou Med•
ieal Oaxelte, of Saturday weok, that Mr. Estliii,sur>

from thiTcow, which has reproduced the disease in
the human subject. Tho new mutter is represent
ed as of a wcllmarkod and active chnrncter, produc
ing more local and constitutional affection than that
in common use. Some has been sent tn the small
pox hospital, in Lonpon. Mr. Estlin hus offer, d to
provide any gentleman with it who has the care of a
public Institutlbn for gratuitous vacdnnaiion.
TunQuaxa'a Bxn.—Tho visitors of Bucking
ham Palace, who have an opportunity ofseeing the
Queen'* bed, nnd wbu are nreustomed to conclude,
that royalitv must repose on font her beds nnd downy
pillows, will ho astonished to havo pointed out tu

THE CHEROKEE8.
Tbe following extract of a letter* under date of tha
15th In*. Crum Gee. 8eott to Gov. Gilmer, will be
found interesting to raeb of our readers as are desi
rous of obtaining correct information in regard to
lb« emigration of ike Chefokees.
Hxad Qvartcxj, Eastern Division,
Cherokee Agency, Oet. 15,1818.
"The Cherokee*, as R is known were divided into
tWe political partles—friend* and opponents of the
treaty of New Eehou. Of the former, there were,
remaining east in May last, a^oat 50B souls—of the
latter, inaluding 378 Creeks, 4 a little more than
15,060. A boat 2,599 of tke anti-treaty party were
emigrated in Jane fast, when (oa the (9th) tke
mo*<3meat was responded ky my order, until the
first ef Scpreiab. r. oa aueouat ef the heat and tho
sick aest efthfl season. Tlie suspension Was appro
ved hy tke war department, ia anticipation, by an
order to that affectreeeired a f*w days later. Tho
Indians had alretilv. With but very few exceptions,
been reflected by tha. troops, and ( whs further in
structed to enter into the arrangement with the dol-
egation, (Mr. John Ross and hi* colh-agui a) which
placed tho removal of the 12,506, immediately Into
their own bands.
" The drought, which commenced in July and con
tinued till thu end of September, caused the loss of a
month in tho execution of the new arrangement*—
detuebraents are, now in march for the west; three
ur four others will follow this week, and as many
more tbe noxt—ull by land, 900 miles-Hbr tho riv
ers aru yet very low. The oilier party, muki.ig n
small detachment, Is also on tho rood, after being
treated by the United States, in common with their
opponents, with the utmost kihdusss nnd liberality.
Recant reports from these five datachmunts, repre
sent, as l am happy to say, the whole as advancing
with alucrity in ilie must perfect order. Thu re-
nmindor of tho tribe are already organised into de-
inchmunts, nnd each is eager fur precedence in iho
march—except tbe sick and decrupid, with a few of
their friend* as uttemJuiiis, who will constitute the
last detachment, and which must wait fui thu re
newal of steam navigai ion.
"By the new Hrrangoment not an ndditional dol
lar is to be paid by the United Stutus in, or un ac
count uf the Cherokee*. The whole expense of tho
removal, us before, is to be deducted from tlio mon
ies previously set apart by tbe treaty and the late
act uf Congress in nid thereof.
"Among tbe partv «f 12,500 there ho* prevuiled
an almost universal chuerfulness since tho date of
tho new arrangement. Tho only exception* were
among the North CuroHniuns—a few of whom, tam
pered witli by designing white mon, nnd umlor tlie
auspice* alluded to above, were induced to run bark,
in the hopn uf buying lauds uttd remaining In their
native muuni.nins. A part ofthesa deluded Indians
have already been hrourht in by tho troops, aided by
Indian runn- rs sent by Mr, Ilnss nnd III* colleagues,
and tho others are dully expected down by tho same
means.
"In your state, I nm confident thnre tiro not loft a
dozen Indian families, and tlie head of each Is a
citizen of the United State*.
"For the aid and courtesies I have received from
Georgia, throughout this must critical uttd painful
service, I am truly thankful, and
I have tho honur to remain with high considera
tion, your uxcolluncy’a most obedient servunt,
WINFIELD SCOTT.

riors fought by our aidu at the buttle of the Horse

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.
Dnt Goons Tuanr.—•'Thn pnst week has boon
one of considerable activity and briskness. Tho
Eurnpouu arrivals hnvo been very numerous nnd tho
supplies of Dry Goods somewhat largo, probably ns
much so ns any tlmo before this sensun; yet the
quantity of Full and Winter descriptions tlrut hnvo
come, ure of thu right kind and granted, many uf
wlilch were disposed uf previous to arrival by snm-
pies received by ilia steam shins recently arrived,
and the remainder will command a ready sale nt full
prices, which, ns a matter of coarse, hascuased Im
porters to he more busy than fur snmo weeks before.
Among thn Jobber* almost tint sntne degree of ani
mation ha* prevailed ns for the past two nr three
work*; stock* generally have been lighter,the snles
may nut hnvo been as heavy, hut very advantngenus
for them, as they have reduced their stocks vury ma
terially.
Tito discovery of an Invention is thus noticed in
the New York Journal of Commerce, which, if suc
cessful, must prove highly Important:

CHARLESTON. Nov. t.
A correspondent, writing us from Fort Mellon,
(East Florida,) under date 21st ult. says—"There
are soma Indians at Tampa Ray, apparently nt thoir
old policy of endeavoring to delay the movements
against them, by pointing |out prospects of n gene
ral surrender. (Jen. Taylor, it is said, believes
them to be sincere, ami at the same time carries oa
his operation* as though they wore not. If they
have tbe least sincerity, it is believed that thi* early
re-occuparinn of the abandoned posts by the 4th Are
tiller/, will abiige them to make a more unreserved
avowal of It Thn destruction of Forts, however,
and other works, during the past summer, indicates
a hostile statu* of feeling, which will hardly subside,
we think, into one for voluntary emigration."
Valuk or Ad vertisikn.—An old familiar friend,
who is tiudging on, a* hearty as a buck, to four
score years—stopping only by the way side, to
pluek a flower for the present, or plant a tree fur the
tuture, was greatly rejoiced iofind that by advertis-
ing his loss, he had reomered hU absconding friends,
a valuable pnirofspectacles. He is 'tickled todeath,'
by this witty invention,' Ha never, in the whole
course of .his life thought, of advertising anything
lost, until now. He kindly communicated bis good
fortune to us, and. added, by way of moral or im-
provemeoteiQds story,— 1 'What magic there i*4a an
advewlssmilT 1 Tremtcripe.
It is very common to seo our resperted neighbor
of the Enquirer, twitted about his ago. "Second
childhood, mere oblivion, lean and slippered patita-
loon," Stc. aro generally thought appropriate quota
tions, when i everting to thnt subject, by those who
hnve not seen bis clastic step, nnti enjoyed his lively
humor aud huoynnt wit and repartee, indicating ra
ther tho primo of manhood, than tlio winter of life.
An incident occurred on Friday, which mny estab
lish that ho is nnt quite nn octogenarian. Being one
of tha guests rtf the rifle corps, in iheir visit to Pe
tersburg, he hnd tho pleasure uf mooting hi# school-
muster there, who wa* also a guest. Thu mooting
of master nnd pupil wns no dnulu highly gratifying
lo them. Tho venerable tutor is, wn understand,
in bi* 84th year, In good health, nnd can yet eqjoy
and enliven the scenes of tho festive board.
Goto Church.—There it no one thing which
helps to establish a man’s character and standing in
society, more thnn a steady attendnneo at church,
and a proper regard for the first dny of the weak.
Every head of a family should go to church as nn
example of parents who have loved them,nnd watch
ed over their best interest. Lounging in streets and
bar rooms on tlw Sabbath is nbominnhln and deserves
severe cehsure, because it lays thu foundation of hab
its whieh ruins one, body and soul. Many a young
man can date the commencement of his dissipation,
which made him a burthen to himself and friends,
and an object of pity In the sight of his anemw.s, to
his Sunday dolmuchory. Idleness is tho mother of
drunkenness—the Sabbath is to young people gene
rally an idle day, therefore if it be not properly kept
it were better struck out of existence.
Go to Church!—If you are a young man just en
tered upon business, it will establish yuur credit.
Whnt capitalist would not sooner entrust a new be
ginner, who Instead of dissipating his timo, his char
acter and his money in dissolute company, attended
to his business on busineiss days, and on Sabbath ap
peared in the house of Ged. Go to Church! with a
contrite heart, and bending a knee at tho throne of
your Mvker, pour out a sincere thank offering forth*
■nreMRof «b* pa* week— Baltimore Patriot
Ata meeting of tbe Board of Health, on mo
tion of Dr. Mitchell, it was unanimously resolved,
that the board of health return their thanks to the
chairman of this board for his gentlemanly conduct at
this board, and his faithful discharge of his duties to
the public In the capacity, of presiding officer of tide
board.
Further resolved, That the thanks or this board be
tendered to the secretary, for the correctness and bu

Black Hawk hnsbeen reported dead so many itmea,
that the last annunciation of his decease D not
readily believed. It is undoubtedly true, however
The Wiscuntin Territorial Gazette states thut his
body was not buried, but was placed on tlie earth in
a sitting posture, with his cano clenched in his hand,
and endowed with slabs, or tails. Thi* is the man
ner in which the bodies of chiefs of the Sac nation
are usually disposed uf, and wns douo at his own
specinl request. A considerable number of whites,
we understand, were present at the final arrange-
mentof his remains.
Spaniards.—It is not a little remarkabln that
almost every country on the globe, inhabited by
Spaniards or their descendants, is now involved in
wur, either fureigfi or domestiu. Spain, the mother
country, it is well known, is so sadly rent with civil
commotions that her own subject* are In constant
danger of their lives and fortune*; and she cannot
bo visited in safety by any modern traveller. Tho
civil wur, which originated in a disputed suacessiun
to the throne, has been protracted for years, and is
yet without prospect of eat ly termination.
Tho Spuntsh race in South America are fighting
ench other with desperation. Their career becomes
doubly interesting tu us, and tbe more worthy of
our attention, because, like our own peaceful und
prosperous suites, they buve thrown off all alle-
ginnee to a foreign power, und entered upon tho
nlUmportant oxperimant of self-government. If, as
a people, we would nvoid tho rocks on which they
founder, it becomes us to mark the course which
they pursue and shun the sapie. It is but too evi
dent that tho points which threaten thorn with im-
minnnt peril, tiro tho ignorance of tjie people, and
tho ambition of thoir rulars.
Muxico is not only closely blockaded hy a foreign
fleet, but rout with civil dissensions, for more dan
gerous within. What may bo the result of such
cotnmatUn* cannot bo predicted with confidence,
but the commercial world is becoming restive un
der the blockade of so many port*! and thore it a
prospect thut othor powers may interposo to briag
about an adjustment of the difficulties, so far as
thoy affect neutral nations.—Prairie Beacon

"Allow me now to remark, thnt I think it very
likely that tho Victoria will be the largest steam-
vessel that willbe built of wood. . I hnve been long
of opinion,t hat iron will supersede all wooden steam-
vrssol*, and havo made some calculation* nn the sub
ject, wltlch may prove interesting to the commis
sioner*.
"The ndvantnge* of iron over wooden vessols muy
be briefly stated to he:
"Superiorstrrngih with one hnlf tha weight, con
sequently less displacement,and a grqxter speed with
equal power.
"Greater safety, in consequence ofhoing divided
with water light comportments by iron bulkheads.
"Greater economy, ns they require less repairs.
"Greater capacity for passengers nnd goods; a
wooden vessel, of 30 feot bonin', is only 27 feet 6
inches wido inside; while an iron vessel would bo
29 foot 6 inches, consequently saving two feet in tho
whole length nf the vessel.
"When in Liverpool, you can satisfy yourself
whether these statements are correct.
"I think, for thn American trade, nn iron vessel
of the following dimensions cnuld he trade tb go nt
a medium, ten miles per hour;—Length. 212 feet;
beam,33; depth, 15; with engines of300 horse
power. Hor weight, exclusive ofengines, would bo
about 260 tons; nnd a wooden vessel of similar di
mensions would not lie got under 600 tons, if even
with thnt, nnd certainly not with equal strength.
N»w, supposing, with her machinery and cnals on
board, she drew 9 feet woter, hor sectional area
would not rxcecd 250 feet; nnd her power being
300 horses, it is but fair to suppose hor speed to ap
proximate to 12 knots'in smooth water, ar that she
should average 10 knots; if so, she would make the
passage of 3,000 miles in 12^ days, and consume
only 300 tons of coals, allowing ono ton per horse.
The cost of this vessel complete, with her engines
and fittings, would be less than the cost of the hull
of the Victoria; in other words, the latter will cost
£60,000, and the iron one to do the same work in
less time, would cost about £30,000. In fact, for
tbe cost of one vessel, making six voyages annually,
you would bare two mtkipg twelve.
