k-EHPr.Tr\t. Memos.—That desideratum among
natural Philosophers, the non-existence of which;
has been as confidently asserted as that of a
perfect vacuum, and the invention of which has
i°ng been a standing puzzle for the ingenious i n
mechanics, has at length, it would seem bv the fol
lowing facts, been recently discovered. The pa
pers inform us that a Mr. Brighman, of Cincinnati,
Mr. Van Dyke, ot Ncw-York, Mr. Prouty of this
city, and a clock maker of Connecticut, have each
detected and discovered this arcanum in physics, t
so long esteemed fabulous, and of a piece with the
vain dreams of the alchymist. There are many i
who will sneer at the avowal of this discovery, as!
the barbarian would at the art of printing, when I
told of its efficacy in transmitting knowledge from
one clime and generation to another, but when we
recollect the march of science, and the talent of the
Americans for the inventive in mechanics we can
only withhold our unqualified belief in the disco
very, and exclaim “ can such things be, and over
come us like a summer’s cloud without our Spec ial
wonder”?

As the time for taking out grants of Land drawn
in the last Lottery has nearly expired, the following
may remind some fortunate drawers of the little
time they have left r
Laud Lotteries. —The time for the fortunate draw
ers in the land lotteries of 1818aiul 1819, to take out
their grants, was extended by an act of the last
legislature, of the 10th of November, 1829, after
the expiration ot which time, any person can apply
and take out grants for any lots the grants of which
Will not have been taken.
The election for Governor of Maine has closed,

(lie Western Mail of yesterday brought no tidings
respecting the missing packages nor has it thrown
any light upon the transaction. Besides the letter
advertised in this day s paper, and others, there was
one addressed.to Macon, containing Five Thousand
1/jllars, in Bank notes. No expense or trouble should
be spared in die search after the villainous perpetra
tor, for if this attempt a novel one in Georgia,) is
successful, there will be no safety for the mail here
after, at any rate while it is transported as at present,
in a sulky. Georgian.

Ca>te. We have n this office, a specimen of the
xibbnn cane, from the plantation of Thomas Brown,
Esq. It was grown upon pme land, which had not
received a particle of manure, is five feet in length,
measuring only the matured joints, and five inches
in circumference at the middle of the stalk. We are
authorised by several gentlemen tc state, that of five
acres, thirty at least are, on an average, equal to this
specimen. It must be recollected that the season
will be favorable for the growth and maturing of the
cane for three months to come. This will, therefore,
be regarded as a very favorable specimen of the
produce of our pine barrens.
The Cherokee Indians. —instructions have been
sent from the War Department to Col. Montgomery,
the Cherokee Agent, to suspend proceedings against
the intruders or settlers on Indian lands within his
agency in consequence of an application, and it be-i
ing reported that their com waste be cut and houses!
destroyed. The Secretary requests forbearance un
til the question respecting the Creek and Cherokee
line can better be understood.
It appears that Oen. Carrol, cf Tennessee, has
been appointed a Commissioner on the part of the
United States, for the purpose of treating with the
Cherokees for their lands. The Phoenix contains a
talk of the commissioner to the Indians, from which!
we make the following extract:—“Permit me tosav, I
that 1 am directed to make the plain simple proposi-j
tion to you- Will you agree to meet commissioners I
to be a [(pointed by the President, at such time as
maybestsuit the convenience of both parties, for
the purpose of discussing the subject of the Chero-i
t kees removing west of the Mississippi ? You will
have an opportunity of hearing the propositions of
the Government: if they are such as meet the ap
probation of the nation you will of course agree to
them: if they are not, you will reject them.” To
which the Cherokee delegation made the following
reply:—“ltis deemed inexpedient to cn ier into a
special agreement to meet commissioners for the
purpose of discussing the subject of the Cherokees
removing to the west of the Mississippi, when it is
well known that the disposition of the nation is ad
verse to a removal, and that no proposition could be
made so to change their disposition as to induce |
them ever to enter into a treaty on the subject.” j
This determination, if adhered to, will, we appre
hend, create no little difficulties between Georgia,
the United Stales and the Indians.
Our latest dates from New Orleans (says the Mo
bile Register), represent that illfated city in a con
dition that it is fearful to contemplate. While the
fever appears daily to increase in malignity in town,
it is extending its ravages into the surrounding
country. Seveal deaths have occurred at Manchac,
Tlaquemines, the Bay of St. Louis, &c.
A letter of recent dale to a gentleman in this city
t says “ The fever rages to a degree hitherto un
known at this season of the year. Few strangers to
the climate who are taken with it escape, and almost
all of them are attacked-—Let no friend of yours,
who values life venture here. ”
The weather. —A friend has furnished us with the
following facts, connected with the weather which
has been for several days so unseasonably cold as
torendet a fire very agreeble, if not absolutely ne
cessary for health as well as comfort.
On the lllh hist, the mercury in Farenheit, steed
at 38 j degrees, just before sunrise ; and at the samel
hour on the 12th 41 deg. and on the loth at 45 deg
On the 11th and 12th there were both frost and ice
in their neighborhood, which destroyed cucumber
and some other plants.
A severe draught prevails in this region of the
country. The Hudson river has seldom been so low;
at ebb tide it is 18 feet 9 inches lower than it was
in the spring at the highest.
Severe hoar frosts were experienced in Albany 1
on the mornings of the 10th, 11th, and 12th inst.
he was observed on Saturday on the low grounds. I

FOll THE COfSTJTTITItI’IAI.IST.
It is ascertained that Messrs. Mealiso and
Rhodes, are the only Candidates before the voters
ot Richmond county, offering for a seat in t ll e Sen
atorial branch of our “ General Assembly” at the
approaching session. We have observed several
articles inserted in the, newspapers, setting forth the
high qualifications of quire Rhodes: To this we
cannot object ;we would not detract from tlie me
rits ot the Squire ; no, not even to promote univer
sal Temperance. If what we wanted just now
was a Deacon for a young and thriving church, or
jan inspector of cnld water, perhaps we would cur |
,selves give a vote for the Squire,* but as the ob
ject which now concerns us, is to send some one tc
jMillcdgeyille to guard, in the first place, the inter
ests of Richmond county ; and second, the inter
ests of that party which we in common with a ma
jority in Richmond, choose to support \ we would
at this time prefer Mr. Mealing The Squire’s
friends may probably urge that “ he is, of the two,
best calculated to protect our local interests,” we
will grant, for the sake of the argument, that the
two gentlemen are equal in this respect, wc can
not concede more. Now, as we have two primary
objects in view in the selection of a Senator, viz :
the protection of our local interests, and o r our par
ty ; supposing the abilities of the two to be equal,
towards the attainment of the first object, we see .
no reason why Troup or Forsyth men should sacri
fice Ule second, because a few individuals, more j
zealous than judicious, solicit them to remove an
obnoxious tree, by falling to work upon its extreme
branches.
The supporters cf Mealing may rest assured, that
he will do all in his power, towards promoting in
ternal improvement, and popular education ; than
which no objects at present, are more vital.
It should not be forgotten, that at the lime when
seven or ten thousand dollars Worth of property,
1 belonging to the county, (we allude to the negro
ceinetry in Augusta) was, by a secret movement,
confermed upon some twenty individuals j of for-I
tunes, some of them, not much exceeding half a
I million—our friend Mealing was the only man of|
, our delegation who had sense or honesty enough
to offer opposition.
“ One fact is worth an hundred speculations.”
A VOTJJR.
1 * This is to be received however with the quali
i fication, that none of the present managers of the
. Temperance Society were candidates ; for in that
• case, our regard for this truly valuable and vital as- 1
sociation, would compel us to minister to their pro
motion.

The Yellow Fever seems to have extended its rav
ages in the country. Intelligence from Manchac
and Plaquemines reports several deaths by that
I dreadful disease ; and one of our respectable citizens
(lately arrived from the Bay of St. Louis, slates that
■ j six privates and an officer of the company of
I I United States’ troops stationed there, had died. In
(town, the sickness, far from diminishing, seems cv
-1 cry day to increase in malignity, and at the mouth
of Bayou, St. John, where, if we mistake not, no
case of yellow fever had ever been seen, several
have already occurred.

Mexico. —The Mexican Congress, in 1824, eitl
, mated the population of the Republic at 6,204,000.
Mr. Ward carries it so high as 8,000,000. The
Mexican Indians consist of a considerable number
1 of distinct tribes, speaking languages entirely dis
-1 ferent, not less than twenty of which have been
traced. The Indian population is situated chiefly
■in the great plains towards the South. They are
ignorant and apathetic, but not deficient in intelli
gence. One of them being asked for whom he
would vote at the approaching' election for Con
gress, answered—“ For the Holy Ghost.”

Tea. —This delicious Beverage, so much admired
in Great Britain and the United Slates, is almost
unknown, except as a medicine, in several of the
countries on the Continent of Europe , and in others
is consumed, at most, very sparingly. The amount
annually consumed in Great Britian and Ireland, is
about 25,000,000 lbs. In Russia, on an average of
four years, 5,187,492 lbs. Netherlands, about 2,000-
000. France, on an average of five years, 220,-
053 lbs. The amount imported into Naples, in 1826,
was 5,961 lbs in 1827, 3,419 lbs ! In Sicily, the
annual consumption is about 20 chests ! Sardin
ian States (on the Continent) about 5,600 lbs !
Tuscany 3000 to 4000 lbs ! Austrian States on the
Adriatic, 1,100 lbs ! Denmark, 129,000 lbs ! Ro
man States, 4,243 lbs ! In the Governo del Litorale
of Trieste, the County of Gorizin, and the Peiunsu-.
, la of Istria, containing a population of 300,000 souls, |
not 1000 lbs. in nine years ! These facts are deriv
ed from a volume of official documents on the sub- 1
ject of the East India and China Trade, just pub
lished in England, agreeably to a vote of Parliament i
lon the 4th of June. It will be observed that the
| countries in which tea is least used, are those where
the grape is most extensively cultivated
