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! CbMMWlCATlofS, 3»rs aoshAotyA.

CPT40A. 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
