From the Troy Sentinel,
idive Occurrence. —Three lads, mem
bers ol Lansinsburg Academy, went into
the woods on Monday last, to gather winter
greens, and found, and ate, a kind of root
they supposed to be spikenard ; before they
got home, however, they complained of feel
ing unwell, and one of them Cambridge Da
vidson, of Charleston, S. C. died before he
could reach his boarding-house; another,
James Hector, of Lanainburgh, died imme
diately after; and the lit; nf young Heer
mance, of Albany, was saved by the opera
tion of a powerful emetic. The root (liey
had eaten, and belived to be spikenard, pro
ved to be tValer Hemlock, which it seems is
one of the moot active vegetable poisons pro
duced in our climate. Young Davidson was
preparing to enter college in the fall, he was
a youth of great promise, the only child ol
his mother, and she is a widow. May that
Wj&ffWS “who tempers thewind to the shorn
her unMHhts heart-rending
bereavement.
In addition to the above accident, we find
the following in the Montreal Comant:
Died, in Bridgewater, Mass. Miss Olive
Keath, au:ed 23. She was troubled with the
tooth ache, and was urged by her mother to
wet some cotton with the essence of pepper
mint; not finding that, she took what she
called the essence of tanzy, but, by mistake,
the oil of She wet the. cotton so
much, that a drop escaped, and she swal
lowed it. She was immediately in great
pain until she died. The body was exam
ined, and the intestines were found des
troyed.
We congratulate, our fellow printers
throughout the union, on the.consumation of
their wishes. The new post-office regula
tions, as passed by the late Congress, will
doubtless meet with their free and hearty
concurrence. We have not *ime nor room
to enter into particulars. The most prom
inent, and to us, by far the most interesting,
items, are those which regulate the convey
ance nf newspapers. Pt inters are expressly
authorised to send printed or written notes
of thrir accounts to subscribers, instead of
being prosecuted therefor, as has been at
tempted, and a fine of fifty dollars will be
imposed on the postmaster detaining any
newspaper from its owner, or taking a peep,
as the National Intelligencer expresses it,
into any package not intended for his office.

Trade and Commerce. —We understand,
says the Manehesler Courier, th.it,widtin the
last week, many of the principal Manufac
turers at Bolton, have advanced the wages
of then weavers Is. per cut. Messrs. Orm
rpd and Hardcastle are now paying 9s, 6d.
per cut for the 6 4 60 red cambric, 120 pks.
in inch, 24 yards in length ; this may be
considered the medium fabric, Within the
last 3 weeKS short wools have risen from 30
to 40, and long wools from 50 to 60 per ct
with every prospect of a farther advance.—
As a consequence of this, blankets, and, in
deed, all goods made from the coarser kinds
of ou'- native fleeces, have already risen full
10 per cent, with cloths, the product nf j
comb'd wool, have experienced an advance
of nearly double the amount Ton has again!
adhanced. It is now double the price it was
in Dec. 1823. Liverpool Paper.

CONSTITUTIONALIST, i
AUGUSTA- |
*
FRIDAY. APRIL 8, 1825. 1
| _J t
We cannot but congratulate ourselves on 1
the quiet state of public feeling among us. j
There seems to be nothing for us, now, to |
quarrel about, if we were so disposed.it
Our brethren at the north are making a I
great ado about Mr. Clay’s treachery, and 1
Gen. Jackson’s conversation, and Mr. Kre-
mer’s letters (which by the bye, seem to be
written for him) and forty other matters;
while we, like Gallio of old, “ cate for none 1
iif these things.” There is something that
smells much stronger of fadian than of j
principle, in endeavoring to embroil they
country in quarrels about an election which 1
is over. Mr. Adams is, constitutionally,!®
President of the United Stales. The great j t
first principle of our government requires
that we acquiesce in his being so. If indi- a
viduals have violated their own judgment, "
and gone counter to the wishes of their con- |
stituents in electing him ; it is a matter be- {
tween them and their own consciences and j
their own constituents. The nation has \
nothing to do with it. Why, then, try to 1
stir up a groundless opposition to the pre-ij
sent administration, a priori ? Is it not ,
best to see what it will attempt, before we t
condemn it ? Our country’s welfare is to_•
be promoted by the measures of the gov-! 1
eminent; not by merely havi tig. or not hav- ,
ing, particular individuals in office, without f
reference to what they will do. Mr. Adams I
is yet to be tried. We have him, and can* 1
not get rid of him. Look to his adminis- (
tration ; and by his deeds, let him be justi
fied or condemned. Men out of place,
who would prefer being in, are ever ready 1
to cry, “ the republic is in danger.” These 1
very men are the most dangerous, after all.
While gaping for the “ loaves and fishes,”
they are glori us patriots. Stuffthem with t
places and salaries, and their Argus eyes 1
are closed forever. Now, if (he admirers,
of Gen. Jackson are determined to support j,
him, at the next Presidential election, let |
them do so, and elect him if (hey can. But '■
they must excuse us, who never did and ne
ver can consider him a proper person for
the office, if we do not join in a clamor
against Mr. Adams, only to serve their
purposes. i

TAPER FROM LIVERPOOL.
When our last paper was published, (says i
the Savannah Georgian,) the letter ba>' of
the E nilv had notbeen delivered at the Post- t
,| Office. Among her letters were some writ- t
ten on the afternoon of the 23d of February, |
containing advices of another advance in l
cotton, during that day, and the probability, i
of a still further increase in price.—The t
present spring has opened with a golden ,i
prospect for the planters who have retained
their crops. Expresses, we understand,
were despati he’d by land and water, to Au
gusta, New-Orleans and Mobile, with the '
1 intelligence, for the purpose, we suppose, of i
again scouring the markers of the we-t. The 1
following is a copy of one of the letters allud- i
ed to : ‘ i
Liverpool 23d February, 1825. i
We continue to experience an immense
demand for cotton. Speculators are active,
ami consumers alarmed at the limited a- 1
mount of stock, and slow airival of supplies,
are buying freely. Upwards of 50,000 bags ■
have changed hands during the last ten day s,!
and this is more than halt tie stock. Good!

MACON BRIDGjE.
A model fir the bt idge about tob« erected
across the Ocmiilgee in this town, lias been'
t lopt dby tbe Commissioners. Five mo
dels were submitted m» them bv the differ
-1 ent architect-, all of winch undoubt diy had!
their peculiar excellencies, and were very
neat specimens of woik.uanship. The one
mct print
which was adopted was made by Mr. flig
ginsua of liis town, upon the principle of
Town’s patent, and undoubtedly possesses
great advantages for simplicity, strength,
and convenience in repairing over any other
kind of wooden bridge that has yet been in
vented. As a proof of its great strength,
to those who are unacquainted with the
principles upon which it is constructed, we,
would mention that the budge is perfectly 1
level, and requires no other support than!
the abutments. It is proposed however to
build a pier in die centre fit, although it
is deemed bv good mechanics lo be unneces
sary. The time of Letting the building of the
bridge is on the loth April. [Misaenger.

Extract of a letter, dated Havre, February
17, 1825.
“ We enclose for your information a
printed statement of the importation, con- 1
sumption, &c. of Cotton in France, made
up to the end of 1834, with that of 1823
shows an increase of consumption during
the last year of 71,000 bales. Our stock on
the Ist inst. was-- 9000 biles of United
States growth, 5600 have been imported
since, making 14,600 from which deduct
3,300 biles sold since the same period, and
our slwck this dav will appear to be I 1,300
bales which is very small for die season of
the year.
Not knowing the extent of the supplies
we may expect from the United St vies it is
impossible to speak with certainly as to the
future prices, but from the foregoing cir
cumstances, and the continued flourishing
state of our manufactories, we think it fair
to infer that we shall have an active demand
throughout the season, that our prices
will be fully equal, if not superior to those |
of Liverpool, especially as the first news of
the rise being received from that place, a
greater proportion of thfe shipments may
have been directed to England and conse
quently to this country than usual.

Steam-Boat Disaster. — We have receiv
ed from a passenger the following account of
ihe disaster of the Steam Boat U, S. capt.
Brooks.—“ We left New-Haven for New-
Yorkat 8 o’clock on Friday morning, the
(storm had commenced but a few hours be
fore, and on getting into t.ie Sound, the
I sea was very rough, and shortly after the
larboard shaft broke ; capt. Brooks with
his sails, then endeavoured to gel the boat
into Black Rock Harbour—at 11 o’clock,
finding the gale increasing, and a heavy sea,
he brought tlie boat to, with three anchors
down, unable to get her within the harbour*
at 13 o’clock it wit" fuutit) She diugged Kef
anchors ; fears were entertained that she
would go ashore on a point of rocks, and
endanger the lives of all on board—soon af-|
ter daylight ihe wind changed, and the boat
went ashore on the beach, opposite Fairfield,
and all on board landed in safety. An ex
press was immediately despatched to New
llaven for assistance to get her off.”

Canal of Amsterdam. —The now canal
ot Amsterdam, forming a communication
from the ocean lo that great commercial cit y,
exceeds in dimensions any similar work
in Great-Britain. A 44 gun frigate appears
to have already made the passage with Suc
cess ; and it also appears there is sufficient
capacity for even a ship of 80 guns. The
projected canal from Portsmouth is calcula
ted for ships of the line, and, if executed,
might vie with tins canal of Amsterdam in
depth and width, and in length would ex
ceed it in the proportion of 100 to 30 miles.

Statue of Napoleon.-—We. learn from
Mr. Memes’ intere- ing “ Memoirs of Ca

Satue of Napoleon, by I’anova, was pre
sented by the French Ring to the British
Government, bv whom it was subsequently
given, says Mr. Memes, “ to the Duke of
Wellington, in whose house in Piccadilly
it now stands— -below a stair—where it not
only cannot be seen to any advantage, but
where it is exposed to all manner of acci
dents.”---'This is just what might be ex
pected from the lucky Commander at Wa

The Elephant. —Wiiile breakfast was
getting ready, 1 amused myself with look
ing at a baggage elephant, and a few cam
els which were in the act ot loading. The
intelljgeiit obedience of the Elephant is well
;known ; but to look upon this huge and
'powerful monster kneeling down at the
I mere bidding of the human voice, and, when
he had risen again, to see him protrue his
trunk for the foot of hia mahout, or attend
ant, to help him into his seat, or, bending
the joint of Ins hind leg, make a s'ep for
him to climb up behind , and then; if any
loose cloth or cauls fall off, widi a doglijf.e
docility, pick them iip wi,h his probocis and
put them up again ; will delight and sur
j rise long alter it ceases to be novel. When
lodged, this creature broke off a large
