A young chief discovered it accidentally while diving after a turtle ; and the use which he made of bis discovery w ill probably be sung in more than one European language, so bea-irifully is it adapted for a tale in verse. There was a tyrannical governor at Vavaoo ageiost whom one of the chiefs formed a pKn of insurrection ; it was betrayed, and the chief, with all his family and kin, teas ordered to he destroyed. He had a beauti ful daughter betrothed to a chief of high rn- k and she was included in the sentence. The youth who had found the cavern, and Jeep* the secret, to himself, loved this damsel: he told her the danger in time; and per suaded her to trust herself to him. They got into a canoe ; the place of her retreat was described to her on the way to it (these women swim like mermaids:) she dived after him, and rose in the cavern ; in the widest part it is about 50 feet, and its medium height is guessed at the same, the Toof hong with stalactites.

A PLANTER. We have the authority of a letter from Milledge- ville, to a gentleman of this county, for saying that the report is not without foundation, and advise tne public to be upon their guard. Since publishing the paragraph in last week’s paper on the probable success of a paper manufac tory, if established in a convenient position in this state, and proposing cotton at its present and pros pective low rate as a substitute for raps, we have met with the following article from the 4 * Annals of Commerce,” by which it appears that co*ton was the first and only material used on its invention.— “ In the beginning of the 12th century, (and bow long before we know not ) paper, made of cotton, was commonly used for books and other writrngs.

Mr. Cruger was a New-Yorker by birth a circumstance that in all 1 !> e conditions of his life he remembered, and recurred to with Measure. Connected by commercial pursuits, with Bristol. England, he became a resident there, and was elected Mayor of the city, and twice, one of its representatives n the House of Commons, having for his associate the great Edmund Burke. Tt was on the hustings, at one of these elections, that his attachment to his native citv was thus^casualJv but strongly evinced.

Mr. Cruger imme diately sought him out, gave him his. hand and insisted upon his walking arm arid arm with him in the procession, at the close of the day. Mr. Cruger lived much in the society of Fox, Burke, and Sheridan: and by his a- greeable manners, animated and cheerful intercourse, and manly and honourable feel ings, was every where acceptable.

During the night of the 18th December, the Vavemo suddenly disappeared, the waters having found egress under ground, re-ap- pearing at a considerable distance, under the Neptune Grotto. This is a catastrophe not dissimilar to the bursting of the Lake of Mauvois, in the Yal de Bagnes, in 1818, which did so much damage, and nearly swept away the village of Martigny; and we regret to learn, that it has also occasioned considerable destruction. One church and several houses have been carried away, and all the various manufactories, with their beautiful picturesque and romantic mills, have been rendered utterly uselcs, so en tirely so, that the Roman Government has been obliged to forward supplies the im mediate sustenance of the common people.

We were on the point fit complimenting his discernment with the following couplet— “ Miracle of learning, That points out faults to show hjs own discerning.” Bnt as the beginning is not applicable, we hope he will excuse us for withholding it. If ‘ Y. Z.’ was in earnest when he supposed the article written by some 4 philosophical astronomer,’ we thank him for the compliment: if ironical, it is the same to us. The 4 literati,’ as he classically expresses himself, are ac quitted of any participation in the language or sen timent expressed, though we conceive it would be discreditable to many not regarded as ‘ philosophical astronomers,’ or as belonging to the ‘literati’ to say that they could not reason more philosophically upon this subject than * Y. Z.’ Upon a reference to the article we find no positive opinion of our own was expressed: that which is regarded in others &9 sr- perstition, can have no connexion with a positive de monstration, or an established philosophical axiom. 4 Some may find in this superstitious omen of wars, Slc. a natural cause for the intense cold, &c.’ ‘Some,’ or the allusion, ‘ some people,* is without reference to any private views which may be entertained by us upon this subject. 4 Some sections of the country,’ can have no definite allusion to Milledgeville, nor can crops be confined particularly to 4 wheat.’ The planters here were probably better acquainted witjl thcii Aspects at that time than 4 Y.

Still, how ever, the cotton paper maintained its ground for these purposes, till it was in its turn superseded bv the invention of a better kind, made oflinen rags.” On linen being discovered to make it of a superior quality, most other articles seem to have been ne glected, until the immense increase of the use of pa per within the last thirty or forty yearn, proved the quantity oflinen rags, ?-.c, to be obtained, insufficient to supply the demand; whence recourse was had to the former substitutes. We believe that the gene rality of printing paper, i9 now composed of at least two thirds, if not all, cotton, and that it enters very largely into the composition of nearly a>l the letter and writing paper at present to be had ; though the less of it those two kinds contain, the more agreea ble it is to use.— 44 There is,” says a Loudon Re view, 44 in the possession of the 4 London Society for the Encouragement of Arts and Commerce,’ a great variety of specimens of Paper made from, different vegetables, as thistles, potatoe haurn, poplar bark, hop vines, &c.” indeed any fibrous substance will answer in some sort; but we believe, on the whole, a sufficiency of rags would be collected so soon as it became known that thev were an article of trade. An article from the Richmond Enquirer, found in this day’s paper, touching Mr. YVebster’s grand ef fort at an amalgamation of parties in Boston, will be regarded as another indication of the declining strength of the administration. The lion of the north, laying aside that sternness of his nature which so recently fulminated the anathemas of Federal veu geance against those that dared oppose the nder of the tribe, is now attempting, by the 44 honied accents of adulation,” to propitiate seceders from the descen dant of the house of Braintree, and to unite all par ties, feelings, and principles, in support of the present incumbent. - These efiortB are made with a view to destroy the anti-administration feelings existing in the Massachusetts legislature, as an auxiliary trva change of his own official character from Represen tative to Senator, and from thence to some higher post of distinction. Much excitement is said to prevail in consequence, and the 44 dreadful note of preparation” for a formidable opposition to Gen Jackson’s claims to the Presidency, sounds ^tr and near. The particulars as detailed in the article above referred to, are as yet all that have been dis closed. The following extract from the Galaxy, ap pears to intimate tbit something might follow. “The account,” says the editor, 44 of the proceedings of the Grand Fancuil Ball Caucus, on Friday evening last, has been pretty extensively circulated, but the preliminary negociations have been kept a little too much behind the curtain.
