Adolph hurried into the church,
with hasty steps; but the old mau,
who went before to show the way, de
layed him with his reflections, so that
their progress was but slow. Even
at the threshold he stopt, and flung
the light of his lantern upon the gild
ed rods over the door, to which it is
the custom to add a fresh one every
year, that people may know how long
the reigning elector has lived.
“•That is an excellent custom,” said
Hans: “one has omy to count those
staves, and one learns immediately
hovV long the gracious elector has go
verned us simple men.”
“Excellent 1” replied Adolph; “but
go on.”
Hans, however, had too long been
indulged in his odd wayward habits,
to quicken his pace at this admonition.
Not a monument would he pass with
out first stopping to examine it by the
lantern light, and requesting the bur
gomaster to explain its inscription. In
short, he behaved like a traveller who
was taking the opportunity of seeing
the curiosities in the cathedral, al
though he had spent his three-and-sixly
years in Colouge, and, duriug that pe
riod, had been in the habit of frequent
ing it almost daily.
Adolph, who well knew that no re
presentations would avail him, submit
ted patiently to the humours of his old
servant, consenting himself with an-
stvering his questions as briefly as pos
sible; and in this way they at last got
to the high alter. Here Hans made
a sudden stop, and was not to be
brought any farther.
“Uuick!'’ exclaimed the burgomas
ter, who was beginning to lose his pa
tience; for his heart throbbed with
expectation.
“Heaven and all good angels defend
us!” murmured Hans through his chat-
teriug teeth, while he in vaiu felt for
his rosary, which yet hung as usual at
his girdle.
“What is the matter now?” cried
Adolph.
“Do you see who sits there?” re
plied Hans.
“Where?” exclaimed his master;
“I see nothing; hold up your lantern.”
“Heaven shield us!” cried the old
mau: “there sits our deceased lady
on the altar, in a long white veil, and
drinking out of the sacramental cup!”
With a trembling hand he held up
the lantern in the direction to which
he pointed. It was indeed as he had
said. There she, with the paleness
of death upon her face, her white gar
ments waving heavily in the night
wind, that rushes through the aisles
of the church, and holding the silver
gobblet to her lips, with long bony
arms, wasted by protracted illuess.—
Even Adolph's courage began to wa
ver—••Adelaide,” he cried, “I con
jure you in the name of the blessed
Trinity to answer me—is it thy living
self, or but thy shadow?”
“Ah,” replied a faint voice, “you
buried me alive, and, but for this
wine, I had perished from exhaustion.
,Come up to me, dear Adolph; I am
no shadow—but soon shall be with
shadows, unless I receive your speedy
succour.”
“Go not near her!” said Hans: “it
is the Evil One, that has assumed the
blessed shape of my lady to destroy
you.”
“Away, old man!” exclaimed A-
dnlph, bursting from the feeble grasp
of his servant, aud rushing up the steps
of the altar.
It was indeed Adelaide that he held
in his eager embrace, the warm and
living Adelaide!—who had been buried
for dead in her long trance, and had
only escaped from the grave by the
sacrilegious daring of—The Sexton of
Cologne.
Time.—-I saw a temple, reared by
the hands of man, standing with its
high pinacles in the distant plain.-The
streams beat upon it, the God of na
ture hurled his thunderbolts against it,
and yet it stood firm as adamant.—Re
velry was in its hal!§; the gay, the
happy, y<ving & beautiful were there,
I returned—and lo! the temple was no
more! Its walls lay in scattered ru
ins; moss and wild grass grew rankly
there: and at the midnight hour the
1 owl’s long cry added to the deep soli
tude. The young and gay who revel
led there had passed away.
I saw a child rejoicing in his youth,
the idol of his mother and the pride of
his father—I returned, and that child
had become old. Trembling with the
weight of years he stood the last of
his eeneralion, a stranger amidst the
’desolations around him.
I saw the oak standing in allots pride
upon the mountain—the birds were
carolling upon its boughs 1 return
ed, and that oak stood leafless and sap
less; the winds were playing at their
pastimes through its branches.
* # # # # # #
“Who is this destroyer?” said I to
my guardian angel.
“It is Tune,” said he: “When the
morning stars sang together with joy
over the new made world, he com-,
menccd his course; and when he shall
have destroyed all that is beautiful of
earth—plucked the sun from his sphere
—veiled the moon in blood—yea, when
he shall have rolled the heavens and
earth away as a scroll, then shall an
angel from the throne of God come
forth, and with one foot on sea, and
one on land, lift up his hand toward
Heaven, and swear by Heaven's Eter
nal— Time is, Time was, but Time
shall be no longe1'!' ,,
“Is there no way,” said I, “to ren
der Time a blessing instead of a
curse?”
“Yes,” said the angel, “by laying
hold of him as he passes by he will
waft you sweetly to blessed immortal
ity; but by neglecting bim. and suffer
ing him to pass unheeded, he will bear
you swiftly through waves of trouble
to a deep gulf of wo. He rolls on
most rapidly, and will soon land you
beyond his influence, where he who
made him will reward you for your
conduct towards him. If you would
be happy, you must esteem him of in
finitely more value I ban gold or silver.
Grasp each moment as it flies, and
spend it in doing good. Minutes are
worth dollars; and sixty years, the
number allotted to man in this world,
if well spent, are to him who spent
them, e.ven after they are numbered
and finished, thousands of worlds, yci,
eternity! but the same number of years
spent in sin, will prove to him to
whom they belong, a curse as deep as
hell. Be wise, 0 man! before it shall
be too late!

NEWECHOTA:
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1828.
CREEK INDIANS.
A company ofCrcek boys seven in num
ber, passed this place, a few days since on
their way to the Choctaw Academy, Blue
Springs, Kentucky. They were conduct
ed by one of the leaders of the Nation, and
Patrick Carey, a young man of intelligence.
The number of Creek students at the Aca
demy will now be about thirty, ail support
ed by the appropriation made at the treaty
of Washington. The appearance of the
boys and their conductors was unlike the
wretched condition of the Creek Nation,
of which lately we hav6 frequently heard.
We took occasion to inquire of Mr. Ca
rey the state of emigration among his coun
trymen. We were informed by him that
ColBrearly was employing every measure
to obtain emigrants, but was likely to be
defeated in his expectations. Of the emi
grants who were stationed at fort Strother,
200 deserted and returned to their homes,
leaving a few mulattoes to pursue their
journey to the promised land. The Chiefs
of the Creek Nation strenuously deny em
ploying any measure to discourage emigra
tion among their people. The question is
left to individual free choice.
New York, Sept. II.
Havana.—We have frequently
heard of the great prosperity of this
place, and the faithful and judicious
management of its concerns; but, un
til we received the annexed letter
from our correspondent there, we had
no idea that it was in such a highly
flourishing condition. We submit it
to our readers with the single remark,
that implicit reliance raey be placed
in his statements.
“Havana August 17, 1828.
“Agreeably to your desire, request-
1 ing a detailed account of the agricul
tural, commercial and financial condi
tion of this city, I present you the fol
lowing statement.
“There are probably few countries
that offer so flattering a prospect. Its
advancement within these last years is
really astonishing, notwithstanding the
depressed value of coffee, and that an
immense capital is invested in nearly
one thousand coffee plantations, which
yield no iheome to the proprietors. In
the district of Matapzas thirty new
sugar estates went into operation last
year; the average value whereof is
£80,000 each. As an illustration of
the enhanced value of land 120 miles
from Havana, a caballeria (equal to
33 acres) which a few years since was
worth $50, now sells for $G00. This
is a decisive indication of the prosper
ous stale of agriculture.
But the increase in the value and
bulk of importations, proclaim the
progressive improvement of public
wealth. The amount of importations
accruing during the last six months was
eight and a half millions of dollars
which is $2,278,000 greater than the
two first quarters of 1827. The to
tal amount of importations and export
ations in this city only, was fourteen
millions of dollars the last six months,
whilst that of the corresponding peri
od of 1827, was eleven millions.
“The increase in tonnage entry, du
ring the last two quarters, was 12,-
252 tons: from which is to be infer
red, that commerce prospers; that
the population has increased, and that
the wealth of the country is in a rapid
state of progressive improvement.—
Independent of these facts, which are
sufficient to form a correct idea of its
situation, I must add, that there has
been a surprising fall in the interest on
money; for, two years ago, the rate
ot interest was 18 per cent, and at
present it can be obtained on good .se
curity at 9 per cent, per annum.
“In every other respect, two ob
jects only engross the attention of these
people; namely, the accumulation of
wealth and the enjoyment of it. The
most profound tranquility prevails,
and the inhabitants, after their occu
pations, think of nothing but amuse
ment. The hand of government is
neither felt nor perceived; persecu
tions, party spirit, revenge or tumults
never occur to interrupt our peace.
“We have very respectable land
and naval forces, and from their ex
cellent management we have never
been disturbed by those who envy our
lot. 3500 men have lately arrived
from Spain; they were immediately
marched off to the barracks in the
country, to be acclimated. A frigate
of the largest class has also been add
ed to our navy.
“The expenditure is of course im
mense; but nevertheless, fortunately,
no kind of direct taxation is known
here; and the indirect taxes are so ad
mirably conducted by the intendant
Penillos, that they not only meet all
the heavy demands of a brilliant army
and navy, but a surplus exists to be
applied to internal improvements aud
institutions. To the enlightened zeal
and extraordinary generation of that
individual, is to be attributed the high
ly prosperous condition of our finances.
He prosecuted with energy and vigor
the venality of some officers; he extir
pated smuggling, which was reduced
to a system and carried on as a regu
lar trade. lie gave an impulse to
the upright dealer, who would not
stoop to the dishonorable practices of
those of an opposite character, and
consequently could not compete with
them. Under Pinillos’s administra
tion, the increase of the revenue has
been allied to the the increase of trade
and’ agriculture. The people find
that the extraordinary expenditure at
tending the arrival of fresh regiments
and ships of war is covered, and yet
the export duty on coffee has been n-
bolished, and no public burdens are.
imposed, and finally, that a great sur
plus fund remains in the Treasury.
The revenue of this City, during the
last six months, was three millions of
dollars, which is 400,000 greater than
the corresponding period of 1827, not
withstanding the suppression of the
export duty on coffee, and the consid
erable importations of flour from
Spain, on which there is a great re
duction in the duties.
“In short, this is a truly prosperous
country; poverty is unknown to all
Glasses. We export to the United
States to the amount of seven millions
annually, which is greater than they re
ceive from all Spanish America uni
ted.’'
Proa the Buffalo Journal.
Important army movements.—W«
derstand that Fort Niagara is imnie.
diately to be garrisoned by four com.
panics of the socond regiment of Uni. ’
nited States’ infantry; and report says,
that this fort will be made head-quar*
ters of the frontier line of posts. By
the detroit papers we are informed of
several new arrangements made in the
west, by the War Department, among
which arc the re-occupancy of Fort
Dearhorn (chicago) and Fort Gratiot.
But the most important measure of
the Department >ve conceive to be,
that of establishing new post, imme
diately upon the portage between the
Fox and Ouisconsin rivers, in the coun
try of the winnebago Indians. Per.
mission for this was obtained of the
natives, at the late treaty at Greea
Bay. The post will be called Fort
Winnebago, and is to be garrisoned by
two companies of the first regiment of
United States’ infantry. This, fort
will occupy the only intervening laUd,
(a portage but six miles) between the
chain of western lakes and the Missis
sippi river. The position is about
central between Prairie du Chien, oa
the Mississippi, and Green Bay, and
upon the extreme northern verge of
mining country. To obtain a cession
of this district to the United States,
was among the objects to be embraced
in tho late treaty at Green Bay. The
purchase was not effected, but per- I
mission was obtained to occupy the I
miniug district, until all the Indians
interested in the sale can be collected,
at a council which shall convene tho
ensuing summer, probably at Galena*
when there seems little doubt the ar
rangement will take place. In tho
mean time the Indians propose to in
form themselves of the numbers of the
whites, by actual observation; /of
which purpose, fifteen of their princi
pal men tame to Detroit, in the Clay,
on their way to Washington. They
propose visiting, before they return,
tho seaports of New England, and .ma
ny of the large interior towns of the
country. “This,” says the Michigan
Herald, “will doubtless have a pow
erful effect on those savages, who
have heretofore considered them
selves equal in numbers to the whites,
and more brave and warlike.- They
will soon be convinced of their error,
in regard to the numerical strength of
the people of the United States, and,
of course, less willing to put their
bravery to the trial.”
Should the proposed treaty, the en
suing summer, result favorably, we
trust no time will be lost in rendering
perfect the navigation between" the
Fox and Ouisconsin rivers, and thus
opening the way, by the short ioute of
emigration which is ready, through
that channel, to penetrate the forests
of the west.'
. From the New-York Observer.
THE OSAGES.
Messrs. Editors.—The following ib
an extract of a letter dated “Hope-
field, (Osage Nation,) July 9, 1828,”
from Rev. Wjlliam B. Montgomery;
who is stationed at that place:
“The past Spring has been a more
than usually eventful one to the O-
sages. Our principal settlers, who
thought they had forever buried the
tomahawk even with regard to Indians,
now stand responsible for tho killing
of five white men in a single day.-—
But, happily, the transaction was one
for which they are not likely to be
blamed, at least in this country. At
10 o’clock, on the 15th of June, this
place was alarmed by the report, of
guns in rapid succession, a short dis
tance beyond the fields, on the oppo*
site side of the river. The next mo*
ment brought intelligence that The
Bird, one of the earliest settlers, was.
lying in the road killed and scalped.—
The men, immediately seizing their
guns, crossed over and set off in pur*
suit of the party, supposed of course
to be Indians. In this there was no
difficulty; for the murderers, as i.’jup-
dicially deprived of common sense,
kept together and were overtaken in
open country, and the whole of them,
amounting to five persons, were de
stroyed, without loss to the OBages,.
The return of the latter after an ab
sence of about two hours, exhibiting
in triumph the scalps of those wretch
ed men, and their outcry and fifing
when they arrived at the spot where
the man was killed, presented a full
specimen of barbarous manners. The
lamentations of the widow and children,
over the corpse were of course more
vehement than even their ordinary
mournings. Whether the Osages h«4
any suspicion with regard tp the
