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, and the votes as far as has been heard from stand for Mr. Unnton, 4,737- —for his opponent Mr. Smitji, 4/139. Hut the returns are not yet completed, on ly 25 towns having been heard from. Mr. LisnoA, the Ex-secretary of the Brazilian Legation to our Government, has left Washington City on his way to the Republic of Colombia, whi •ther he has been transferred by the Emperor of Brazil. (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. [lie Norfork Theatre is to be opened on the Ist of October, «ith the company under Mr. Adams, for a short time previous to his departure for Charleston. Tallaijashe, Sept. 15. 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 I Trog Centinel j 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.

Niw-Out.eavs Septembers. 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. ; This evening the steamer Grampus will take down : to the Balize, the brigs Chilian and Cornelia, Spanish : transports, with the battalion of La Coruna who iS| • now at the Turn. Admiral Laborde will not leave | this city before the end of this week. The 74, El ; Saberano, and the two brigs of war, are at the Balize. We shall soon hear the result of the expedition of Santa Anna against Tampico, as several vessels are daily expected from Vera Cruz. 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.” Nat. Gazette. 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 [iV. Y. Jour.
