Discovery in Africa.—The following is

agent of the Colonization society, to the
Board at Washington.

-words Aries will once in' about twenty-fiye
thousand three hundred and eighty years,
be in the same situation of the zodiac.
The angle of the equator and ecliptic is
found to be twenty minutes less every thou

hundred and fo^ty-one-thousand years more,
i our equator and ecliptic wilt coincide and
[days and night? be continually of equal
flength all the year round. In other words
that the ecliptic requires 270,000 years to
extend itself from the equator to the pole,
540.000 to go and return again.
When the ecliptic extended to the pole
the arctic and antarctic regions of the north
and south were as warm and habitable
as any other parts of the earth. This ex
plains one of the causes of tropical animals
being dug up . in the northern countries of
Europe, as Russia, Siberia, England, &c.
The ocean appears to rise about ten feet
in one thousand years. For Heron says co
lumns are now standing not far from Cleo
patra’s needle, a distance much below the
level of the ocean, which were placed there
ahout 2C00 years ago. Herculaneum, burn
ed and buried by the eruption of Mount Ve
suvius A. D. 79, is found to be forty feet
below the level of the sea. The ruins
of Heraclea, six leagues from Alexandria,
are covered with water a long way, in the
Mediterranean ‘ sea; and is as yet visible
beneath its surface in a calm. Hence it is
evident that there is not only an increase of
land bnt of waters on this globe. Globes
seem to grow. '
Do these facts account for many pheno
mena in geology ? For instance, of anchors
being dug ujftfar from any rivers or seas ; of
the s|umps of trees being dug to in the level
country of Murfreeaborough in N. C.
found between twenty and thirty feet below
the level of Chowan river: wherein the
shafts of trees are yet standing ; of the like
occurrence noticed about Philadelphia, 13
feet below the earth’s surface ; of American
shell fish dug up in Europe : of the moose
deer of America dug up in all the valleys of
Ireland; and of the Egyptian crocodiles
discovered in the bowels of the German soil;
&c. Fulgose an Italian, says, that A. D.
1460 a ship was dag up with the bodies of
40 persons, in the canton of Berne 600 feet

of mammoths, and of trees and plants, which

We were prevented of our intention last week
of inviting to a notice of the Advertisement of Mr
Tucker, who' has commenced another order of
classes for instruction in Penmanship: but as we have
already experienced the benefits of his success in one
or two instances, we feel indisposed to let the op
portunity pass further without a passing remark, in
the hopes of being still more largely relieved by the
practise of his art. It has been observed by some
one, that “ nothing tends more to impress with a fa
vourable idea of the respectability of an unknown
person, than .receiving a communi cation be may find
it necessary to make, written a fair legible hand —
as a preliminary recommendation, it even takes pre
cedence of correct spelling and composition as being
first caught by the eye, though certainly not so
good an evidence of a studious and intelligent mind,
as the latter; but for want of it many a brilliant off
spring of the imagination, has lost its effect by dis
traction of the attention between decyphering the
and] writing and Reaching after the ideas it contained
while a composition of very ordinary talent may often
pass current from the fact of oar being able to glide
easily through it by means of handsome and "distinct
penmanship.—Such, we have evidence, the ability of
Mr. Tucker is able to impart, with proper diligence
on the part of the scholar; and we trust all who
have sufficient tender sympathies to “commisserate
a printer’s woes,” will avail thcih selves of his eiffers, if
they ever contemplate calling our services to their
aid, and are not fully conscious of a respectable ac
complishment in the art. V X
Dr. Good, ini his book of Nature, says
there is iron enough in the blood of 42 men
to make a plough-share—weighing, gener
ally, from 22 to 34 lbs. This is a singular
proposition ; but as the learned doctor is a
gentleman of high respectability, and deep
scientific research, it deserves a readK*f$i
dit. We should like to know the quantity of
brass which is incorporated into the system,
either in blood or bone of some individuals.

PertraUa.—The number of penions whose situation
and connection with society, is so isolated as never
to awaken & recollection in the j-eetto] of events that
supply the subjectsof social conversation, arofow in

called forth, an intuitive foefing of curiosity to know
what “ manner of man he was,” seems inseparable
from the human faculties, and is ooly satisfied by its
gratification in some way or other. In this feeling
originated the ancient practice of embalming dead
bodies, and tho after art of the sieulptor and painter,
to preserve the form and features of those whose ge
lations with the present, might tender them interest

A. M. and that John Schley, .Wm. H. Tor

a Committee to prepare and report an ex
pression of the Court and Bar upon this me
lancholy dispensation of Providence. At the
hour of 11 o’clock, the Court having met
pursuant to adjournment, the committee
made the following report :—
The Committee appointed )by the Court
to prepare and report an expression of their
of their distinguished
and esteemed fellow-citizen and member of
this Bar, know not in what manner suitably
to approach the subject. They feel that
their powers are too feeble, and language
too impotent to convey their feeling of es
teem and respect for his memory when dead,
or his worth and many amiable and virtuous
qualities when in life. To those who had
the pleasure and happiness of his acquain
tance, nothing can be said of him, which
will render his memory more dear and las
ting ; and to theme to whom he was unac
quainted, this committee can say nothing
that would do adequate justice to his cha
racter. They therefore refrain from the at
tempt, by here observing, that in his pub
lic character as a senator of the Legislature,
as a senator in the Congress of the United
States, as Mayor of the City of Augusta,
and other offices which he has filled, Geor
gia has been proud to claim him as her citi
zen. These appointments have all been
conferred without his solicitation ; and have
been discharged with that ability and that
integrity, which has done honor to the ap
pointments and credit to himself. He was
the pride and ornament of the middle circuit,
and could boast of that which fafis to the
lot of but few individuals. He had nume
rous friends, and the committee believe none
will accuse it. of stating any thing but the
truth, when it says lie had not an enemy
upon earth. . It is, however, with his amia
ble end worthy family, the committee most
deeply sympathize n this.afflictive dispensa
tion of Providence, as it is there l^s l° ss
be the most seriously felt. Asa husband, fa
ther and master, hd was tender, affectionate
and indulgent, and in his social intercourse
land deportment through life, open, generous
and sincere. The committee, in taking a
retrospective view of his life, cannot but ex
claim, a great and good man has fallen ;
they therefore recommend the adoption of
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the Court and members
of the Bar of the Middle Circuit, heing im

of the distinguished and lamented JMajor
Freeman Wailter, as a testimony of their
respect and esteem for his memory, will
wear crape oil the left hrrp for the space of
thirty days, and recommend to the members
of the Middle Circuit to conform to this re-
solutiop.
And it is further resolved, That the above

A true extract from the minutes.
MORGAN BROWN, Clerk.
The Little Rock, Arkansas Gazette, of
the 31st July says :—
The last mail from the south, we under
stand, brought a letter to Gov. Izard, from
Maj. Cummins, Commanding officer at Fort
Towson, enclosing a Proclamation which
has been recently promulgated by Col. Rob
bins and Buckham, (the latte r, also, a Mexi
can officer, and recently of Miller county,)
inviting volunteers to join their standard,
for the purpose of making wUr on and plun
dering the Indians in the Mexican territo
ries, who are hostile to that government.
We have not seen the Proclamation, but un
derstand it offers to volunteers, in addition
to the usual pay of troops of the line, the
whole proceeds of all caplu/es which they
may make from the Indians. The volun
teers are directed to meet at any point south
of Red river, and west of the Spanisli Bluff,
which we understand, is some 20 or 30 miles
east of Miller C. H., and in a part of the
country where the authorities of this Terri
tory continue to exercise civil jurisdiction.
This proceeding, whether authorised or
not by the Mexican authorities, calls loudly,
in our opinion, for the interference of our
government Such predatory parties against
the Indians, are calculated to exasperate
them against our citizens, however innocent
they may be, and will unquestionably result
in their attacking and making reprisals, on
all other hunting parties whom they may fall
in with ; and on our frontier settlements,
for all depredations which may be commit
ted on theln or their property, by these
Mexican volunteers.
[Subsequent accounts state, that the ex
pedition had started ; about 50 armed men,
with a large surplus of arms and ammuni
tion, for which it is calculated to have re
cruits on the march—it is said to be a plun
dering expedition against the Camanche and
Pawnee Indians.]

This town [Providence, R.I.] is now
distinguished for the Manufacture of Cotton.
The business is carried to great extent, and ’
we are surpassed by no other place in the
union except New York.—We have nine
teen extensive Jeweller’s shops, which give
constant employment to over three hundred
persons. The Jewelry manufactured year
ly amounts to over six hundred thousand dol
lars. The business is not confined to any
particular description of work, but generally
to the setting of Diamond and Pearl; the
manufacture of ladies’and gentlemen’s gold
chains, filagree and variegated gold work,
paste and all other kinds of Jeweller’s work,
which is done in as great perfection as in
Europe or any other part of the United
States. The nineteen shops pay annually
something like ten thousand dollars premium
on the gold by them manufactured, and sup
ply many cities with the product of their
labour.

War again.—By Col. Field who arrived
at this place on Wednesday evening last
from Fever River Lead Mines, we learn,
that before his departure from that place, a
letter was received from Gen. Atkinson,
dated at Prairie du Chien, 20th August, en
closing a letter from Gov. Cass and T. L.
McKenney, U. S. Commissioners, for hold
ing a treaty with the Indians at Green Bay.
Mr. Cass and Mr. McKinney state that
they could effect nothing by counciling with
the Winnebagoes ; that not one fourth of
the tribe attended, and that those who did
attend, refused to give up the perpeirators
of the murder at Prairie du Chien, and those
engaged in the attacks of the contractors’
boats descending the^fiver from St. Peters.
They further remark that Shambly the
chief of the Ottoways had been among the
Pattowatomies, and reported to the com
mander at Chicago, that the Pattawatomies,
and Winnebagoes were makeing prepara
tions for war, by secreting their women and
children, and preparing provisions for
informed Gen. Atkinson that no terms could
he made with the Winnebagoes, and advis-
hd him to march immediately, fearing that
an attack Would be made on the miners at
Fever River,. The letter bears the date of
August 18th. W
Gen. Atkinson accordingly marched with
600 men from the Prairie on the 29th ult.
General Whitesides and Col. Dodge on the
same day marched from the mines, with 150
mounted men. Two hundred men from
Green Bay, with 100 Menomines, were to
leave Green Bay on the 15th Aug. for the
portage between the Ouisconsin and Fox
rivers, where the whole body of troops were
to rendezvous. An attack will then be made
upon the hostile Indians, and from the force
employed, we cannot but anticipate a spee
dy settlement of our Indian difficulties. The
council at Green Bay was to be closed on
the 15th August.—Intel.
Messrs. Shultz and Boyd charged with
whipping Martin to death some time since,
prere lately tried at Edgefield Court House,
S. C. and convicted of Homicide.—-Their
sentenco is six ihoaths imprisonment and

Shultz made a very interesting address to
the Court after it had delivered its seutence,

J\Iexican .Mines.—By oar late files, we
perceive that the shares of some of the
mining associations have experienced a rapid
and considerable rise in the London market.
The Real del Monte rose in a single day
upwards of 70 per cent, on the exchange.
A gentjeman has arrived (in New York)
from Mexico within a few days, who states
that the prospects of this mine (and others)
are of the most flattering character. The
weekly returns of the Real del Monte alone,
are from $20,000 to $25,000. This asso
ciation is recognized as one of those which
were set on foot by some of the most re
sponsible capitalists in Loudon, and its
shares were never hawked in the market.
If there be toy person in the United States
interested in its prosperity, the foregoin
statement may not be unacceptable to them.

It appears from a publication in the Balti

adapted to the service, is about to be built
in that port, by Mr. James Beacham, (if one
suitable for the purpose cannot be purchas
ed,) in which Mr. Reynolds and his associ
ates, arc to undertake the Antarctic Expe
dition. It is added that the funds necessa
ry for the purpose are nearly realized.
Sea Serpent again.—We do not know a
subject which causes more speculation than
the Sea Serpent, no two persons can give
the same description of it, except its resem
blance to a horse or snake. About the 20th
of July last, Captain Thurlow, of Deer isle,
reported that he had struck, and was drag
ged by this god of the Ocean, upwards of
four miles ; that it took place 10 leagues to
the eastward of M. Desert, that the line
parted, and left about 20 fathoms of it at
tached to the iron in the serpent—this state
ment had a very general circulation in the
papers at that time. We now have another
story to tell, and which seems to carry more
truth with it than any other respecting the
Serpent.
Capt. Daniel Brown, who arrived here
on Thursday, fell in with a singular fish,
about 20 leagues East of mount Desert,
from which he took a pair of five pronged
granes, together with 20 fothoms of warp
attached thereto, and exhibited the same at
our office yesterday, the fish was dead, and
measured-less than 25 feet ; had a flat head
and appeared something like a blaek fish.
Capt. B. does not recount ever to have seen
one similar to it. It mustVhave -been dead
some time, ns it was much 'decayed and its
skin parched or sun-burnt, had no scales up
on it. Capt. B. kept it alongside of his
vessel about three quarters of an hour, had
a fair opportunity to examine it, and we
rely much on the testimony he has given.

An Equestrian on his 'Travels.—-One Boy-
den, a member of a troop of equestians, who
were performing at Huntsville, Alabama,*
took it in his head, about three months ago,
to perform a feat which must have astonished
the company, as much as their dexterity had '
astonished the natives. He took from a
trunk belonging to the corps $2000, with
which sum m his pocket, he threw a somer
set which brought him on horseback, and
gallopped off*. He has since been making
the northern tour, spending his money gen
teelly, and visiting the falls, and the other
lions of the north and west. He had some
idea of settling at Rochester, but was in
duced to change his mincL by the apparition
of a countenance which had been fomiiiarto
him in Alabama. As he was returning from
the falls, io company with two gentlemen,
the latter were attracted by a hand-bill ■ in
the town of Waterloo, a name as fatal to
our hero, as to Napoleon. The placard .
offered a reward for the return of the $2000, /
and described the person of Boyden so ac
curately, that there was no mistaking him.
On arriving at Ithaca his travelling com
panions introduced him to a constable, and
lent him the placard to read for his amuse
ment. The result was that he-gave up
$1380, and walked off in high dudgeon.—
