jmies.—In a discourse pronounced in
-Bitis by M. Fontenelle, on the Egyptian
practice of embalming,the professor maintain
ed, that a physical necessity had rendered
that practice indispensable. The inunda
tion of the Nile annually covered for four
months almost the whole of the cultivated
parts of Egypt. It is evident, therefore,
that it was necessary to place the towns and
villages upon elevated Spots. It appears,
according to Danvers, that at the time of its
greatest prosperity, under the reign of Se-
s istris, Egypt contained, upon a territory of
2.250 square leagues, about 6,220 persons
o i each ; which, supposing in the year that
one death takes place among forty persons,
gives 350,000 deaths annually. These
corpses must bo di posed of, either by inter

Discoveries in Herculaneum.—Several
discoveries of considerable interest have
been made within the few past months in
the ruins of Herculaneum. Among them
is the house of a barber, including his shop,
&c. The utensils employed by him in his
occupation were in excellent preservation,
as well as the bench on which his customers
used to seat themselves while waiting io
take their turns, with the stove, and several
pins used by ladies to confine their hair.

it was intended to convey by those who framed it,
which it wa3 understood to express by those who

deep regret, this’ charter of our Union endangered,
and, as we believe, silently undermined* its limits
and landmarks effaced and effacing, by assumptions
of constructive power. It may soon be considered
treason in the citizen, disorganization in the States,
to assert rights which were never surrendered to
the Federal Government, or to resist powers which
our predecessors never designed, and would never

A lone letter has been published by Mr. Eaton, of
the Senate, in relation to the disclosures lately
made in the letters of Gen. Jackson and Mr. Bu
chanan. The principal particulars which it affords
in addition to, or varying from what is contained
in the letters alluded to, will be found in the follow
ing extracts, which* with the interspersed remarks,
we adopt from the Constitutionalist.
He treats Mr. Buchanan with kindness and re
spect, and in relation to the discrepancies between
the statements of that gentleman and General Jack
son, he says:— ’
“ Between the statements of Gen. Jack
son, and that submitted by Mr. Buchanan, I
can perceive some differences ; but they
are principally verbal, and not material.
Those which do obtain, appear to me rather
as to inferences deduced from facts, than as
to the facts themselves : substantially there
.is accord. Air. Buch&jjan alleges, that, on
approaching General Jackson, ht^i^noi
come from Mr. Clay. It is 4rfpHP&ed
that he did. General Jacksor^states, his
opinion at the time was, that Mr. Buchanan
had come from Mr. Clay, or some of his
friends *, but this is given merely as matter
of impression—nothing more. By the show
ing of Mr. Isacks and Mr. Buchanan, it now
appears, that Air. Markley was the negoti
ator. A difference as to the date-—the pe
riod of time at which the convention took
place—may exist; for Mr. Buchanan places
on the 30th of December. It
The following extract of a letter to Mr. Eaton
frprti a former friend of Mr. Clay giving the reasons
why lie is no longer his friend, is of a more serious
character:
“ The bargain of 1825, between Messrs.
Adams and Clay I remember well was free
ly snoken of by many members of Congress
although I had no personal knowledge of
any fact which would warrant the belief that
the contract existed ; besides, the high es
timation in which I then held Mr. Clay, for
bade my suspicions on any accusation not
supported by positive proof: that proof was
not afforded me, and 1 held him guiltless.
Yet there was some circumstances of tinfa-
orable appearance, and which, as the friend
of Mr. Clay, I was sorry had existence.
The circumstances to which I allude, ivere
the continued silence and lengthy reserve
of Mr. Clay’s friends in publishing, or let
ting it be known, how they would vote ;
that the Kentucky Delegation who voted
for Mr. A. had a meeting to determine upon
their course, as I wa§ informed by one of
them, at which it was said to me, that, upon
the question being proposed to Mr- Clay*
for whom shall we vote, he answered, in
substance, M that in case General Jackson
“"should be elected, he believed the Admi-
“ nistration, with its weight, would be op
posed to him, to prostrate him: that
“ should Mr. Adams be elected, he felt sa-
“ tisfied it would not be so ; but that he
“ hoped no personal considerations for him
“ would induce them to act contrary to their
“ desire.’.’ Upon these circumstances, I
have often remarked, that the first was not
in character of Kentuckians, and that the
last was the strongest appeal which could
be made to a man’s friends, and the hea
viest requisition, which could be levied on
their attachment. Until a very short time
since, I had not been convinced that the
bargain had been made and executed, and I
even now regret that I am constrained to
admit it; but believing it, I shall leave
nothing undone which can be honourably

'of facts, which took place m
qentral district of the state of Pennsylvania
sdpie twelve or fifteen years ago. A farmer
was so- slightly bit through the boot by a
rattlesnake, as he was walking to view his
ripening cornfields that the pain felt was
thought by him to have been from the
scratch of a thorn, not having seen or heard
the reptile. Upon his return home, he felt,
on a sudden, violently sick at the stomach,
vomiting, with great pain, and died in a few
hours. Twelve'‘month9 after this, the eld
est son, who had taken his father’s boots,
put them on, and went to church at some
distance. On his going to bed that night,
whilst drawing off* his boots he felt slightly
scratched on the leg, but merely mentioned
it to his wife, and rubbed the place with his
hand. In a few hours however, he was
awakened by violent pains, complained of a
giddiness, fainted frequently, and expired be
fore arty succour could be applied with suc
cess ; the cause of the illness, also being
quite a mystery. In course of time his effects
were sold, and a second brother through fi
lial affection, purchased the boots, and, if I
remember rightly put them on about two
years after. As he drew them off, he felt a
scratch, and complaining of it when the
\ widowed sister, being present, recollected
that the same pain had been felt by her hus
band on the like occasion; the youth suffer

repeated and singular deaths being rumored
in the country, a medical gentleman'called

upon the friends of the deceased, to inquire
into the particulars, and at once pronounced
their deaths to have been occasioned by
venom. The boots, that had been the cause
of complaint, were brought to him when he
cat ong"of them open with care and disco
vered the extreme point of the fang of a
rattlesnake issuing from the leather, and as
sured the people that this had done all the
mischief. To prove this satisfactorily he
scratched with it the nose of a jdog, and he
died in a few hours, from the poisonous
•effect it was still able to convey. In confir
mation of these facts, I have been told by
native Americans, Hhat arrows, dipped in
rattlesnake venom, would .carry death for

that the meeting to which I allude, was on

Proposals have been issued in Charleston for pub
lishing a new work, entitled, “ The Southern Re
view,” having for its object a more general diffusion
of literary,'scientific, and agricultural intelligence,
the first Number of which will appear early in Feb*
ruary, and quarterly thereafter.—Exceptions, we
perceive, have already been taken to the title which
this proposed publication is to bear—a Southern Re-
vieto—as well as to the principles, (the offensive fea
tures of which we subjoin,) that it will advocate.
Its tendency to a still further separation of that corn
munity of feeling which should unite the various sec
tions of the country, can exist only in an apprehen
sion that the landmarks of the constitution may be
too scrupulously guarded. In its title we discern
nothing at issue with that community of interest
which now regulates the movements of the different
members of this political compact, as its selection
was evidently mode with reference to its distinctive
locality, and in contradistinction to a Northern or
Western Review. Its political character, so fi»r as
the attention of the work is directed to the great na
tional interests of tha country, will of course, be in
accordencq with the general views entertained by
the South upon this question, even should the impu
tation of sectional feelings follow the exercise of
such a privilege, as we regret to nay it has, the an
nounccmcnt of ^uch an intention. Such a work will
be regarded as a valuable acquisition to the history
of southern literature; her intellectual resources af

ago. It is as follows
“ In January, 1825, a few days before it
had been known that Mr. Clay and his friends
had declared in favor of Mr. Adams. I; was
called upon by Mr. Buchanan of Pennsyl
vania. He said, it was pretty well under
stood that overtures were making by the
friends of Adams on the subject of cabinet
appointment: that Jackson should fight
them with their own weapons. He said,
the opinion was, that Jackson would
retain Adams, and that it was doing him
injury. That the General should state
whom he would make Secretary of State,
and desired that I would name it to him.
Aly reply was, that I was satisfied.General
Jackson would say nothing on the subject.
Mr. Buchanan then remarked, “ Well, if he
will merely say he will not retain Mr.
Adams, that will answer.” I replied. I was
satisfied General Jackson would neither say
who should, or who should not he Secreta
ry of State—but that he (Mr. B.) knew him
well and might talk with him as well as I
could. Mr. Buchanan then said, that, on
the next day, before the General went to the
House, he would call. He did so, as I af
terwards understood.”
There is^tn incident related by Mr. Eaton which
is of the same class with the “ invitation to pass

The Hon. Daniel Webster—Has at all
times, been an ardent and uniform Federal
ist ; was strongly opposed to the election
of Mr. Adams as President, and on his arri
val at Washington in the winter of 1824—25
assumed a reserved and cautious demeanor,
which left many in doubt as to his real de
sign. He was at one time in favour of Cal
houn, and when he was dropped, he was in
favor of Crawford ; and when it was doubt
ful as to his success, he was left to choose
between Adams and Jackson. His vote in
the House individually could not affect the
vote of his State, but his personal influence
in the House might be of much conse
quence. At this crisis, Webster was wai
ted upon by Bailey, the same who it was
said interfered in the Vermont election for
Senator, and sounded as to his determina
tion. In the course of conversation between
them, Webster avowed his Federal predilec
tions, and said he did not think the Fede
ralists if they gave their support to Adams,
could calculate upon any consideration m
the distribution of the government offices.
Bailey having thus ascertained Webster’s
principal objections to Adams, left him;
and next day he addressed a letter to Web
ster, stating, that after a conversation with
Mr. Adams, he was authorized to say, that
Mr, Webster’s doubts regarding the Fede
ralists were unfounded, and that if Air.
Adams was made President the claims pf
that party to office should have all and every
proper consideration. Webster met Bailey
after the receipt of this letter, and told him
his letter was a very satisfactory one, but
it would have been more so, had Mr. A-
dams written it, or would confirm it—for af
ter he (Webster) might act upon such pled
ges, it might turn out that Mr. Bailey’s au
thority to make them would be denied—and
Mr. Adams refuse to be bound by them.
To this Bailey replied that Mr. Webster
must see the manifest indelicacy there would
have been m asking Mr. Adams to write
such a letter, and how improper it would
be to ask a formal acknowledgement of it—
but that Mr. Webster was intimately ac
quainted with the handwriting of Mr. Adams,
or
advocates of that policy which embraces the
protection of domestic^Umifactures, and
the general system of internal improve
ment.”
Elections.—The Election in the State of
Delaware for a Representative in Congress,
to supply the place of Mr. AIcLcan, chosen
to the United States’ Sen. took place on the
2d inst. The result was that Mr. Johns,said
to be a decided friend of the National Ad
ministration, was elected by a majority of
441 votes over Air. Bayard, the Jackson
candidate. '
The recent'election in Alaryland, has re
sulted in the choice of 50 Adams and 30
Jackson Delegates to the Stale Legisla
ture. ,
Much excitement seems to prevail in the
State, and especially in the City of New
York, as to the approaching election. The
Presidential contest of course is the chief
cause of the ferment. A little time will in
dicate which way the wind bloics.

o’clock, the Blacksmith Shops in the Peni
