Cause and Effect.— The cabbage has been
said to he a sovereign remedy for curing intoxi
cation from wine. This property of the cab
bage is mentioned by Aristotle and Theoph-
us, who are of opinion that it proceeds from
the antipathy which the vine shows for the
cabbage- If a cabbage he planted near a vine,
the latter retires to ns great a distance as pos-
ihle, or perhaps dies. Hence il is concluded
that the vine, owing to this aversion, allows
itselflo he overcome by the cabbage.

Hal Snow.—The following ('uriotis article,
is an extract from ('apt. Parry’s narrative :
t hi[-usl2(I.—“In tin* course of this day’s
journey wc met with n quantity of snow, tin-
aod, to the depth of several inches, with some
-red colouring matter, of which a portion was
preserved in a Imttlft for future examination.
Tins circumstance called to our recollection
our having frequently before, in the course of
this journey, remarked that the. loaded sledges,
in passing over hard snow, loft upon it a light
to■*«•-coloured tint, which at the time we attri
buted to the colouring matter being pressed
out of the bireli of which they were made.
To-day. however, we observed that tho run
ners of the boats, and even our own footsteps,
e.xhrhitrd the same appearance ; and on watch
ing it more narrowly afterwards, we found the
same effect to he produced, in a greater or less
degree, by heavy pressure on almost all the
ice over which we passed, though a magnify
ing glass could detect nothing to give it this
tinge. The colour of the red snow which we
bottled, and which only occurred in two or
three spots, appeared somewlnt different from
this, being rather of a salmon than n rose co
lour ; but both were so striking,as to be the
subject of constant remark.’*

part of the face is distinctly formed in each, and
both of them present tho pleasing countenan

the laces where the usiinl formation of the ear
takes place, the additional face comment
with a slight undulation towards the cheek of
tho second face, which then proceeds through
all its regular features until it terminates at
the left ear—so tho face on the left side one

So the Bill was passed.
Mr. Witile moved to amend the title. As it w as be
coming tin* fashion to call things by their tight names;
and as the gentleman from South Carolina, w ho was at
the head of the Committee nfWuys and means, hatl set
tiic example, by calling one of ins hilts; “a [till making
appropriations for Internal Improvements,” he moved
to amend the title of this hill, by adding to it the words
“and for the encouragement of Domestic Manufac
tures.” ■
A number of voices seconded the motion.
Mr. Itmulolph said he hoped the amendment would
not lie adopted, lie was as much a friend to Domestic
Manufactures as any man. But by domestic manufac
tures, he understood those which tire carried on in our
own families; in the commencement of itis public life,
such as were known by the name of Virginia cloth.
That was the kind he was a friend to. If the gentle
man from Georgia wished to amend the bill, he ought
to call it a bill for the encouragement of one part of our
domestic manufacturers, at the cost of another; ora
hill to rob one half of the country, to put it into the
pockets of the other. What is (lonu;8tic manufarturcs ?
lie should not look for them til a long range of ware
houses; neither would he seek for them where the
white nabob strutted among his slaves. He w ished the
gentleman from Georgia had left those who begat it—
true fathers of the hill, to give it his name. He
lid not consent to be its god-father neither at the
font nor any where else. He hoped the motion would
be withdraw n.—The title is a mere ad captandum vulgus

It was easy to see that this hill has been passed, hav

Mr. II ilde said, in making his motion, he had nn in
tenrinn of provoking on the title of the bill a debate,
which had been pursued nn the bill itself until the pa
tience of the I louse was exhausted. He wished to give
the gentlemen all the benefits of their bill. He did not,
any more than the gentleman from Virginia, believe
that this was a hill for real encouragement of domestic
Industry, As, however, lie had no desire to provoke
discussion, he would withdraw his motion to amend.
The amendment was then withdrawn.
Mr. Printon then moved to amend the title of the
bill, by striking nut all after the word “ act,” and inser
ting the words “ to increase the duties on certain im
ports, for the purpose of increasing the profits of certain
manufacturers.”
lie stated that he should not directly nor indirectly
support tho passage of the hill, which had encumbered
some parts of the country with heavy duties, with a ve-
ry small pro|*onionste benefit to any of the rest. He

“ Our republican ticket, for state officers,

Wc have heard another terrible story about
General Jackson, showing what a dangerous
character a “military chieftain” is; that he
caused a man’s hair to turn while in a single
niglil. The story is, that a man in Louisiana
of the name of Rrent, was in New Orleans in
1815, and was required to turn out and fight
for the country. lie was rich, and thought
Gen. McIntosh, the great' Warrior, of the
Tribe. The policy and council of the first,
was explained and advocated by the second,
and enforced by the last. The two first could
not speak English, or if they could it was bad
ly, they very seldom did. The persons of
these. Chiefs, exhibited a remarkable variety—
Big Warrior was a man about six feci three
inches it* height, fat and very corpulent—an

Well he swore he would not fight. The go-
neral asked him if he saw that tree yonder.
Brent w ho told the story to one of his friends,
said that he went home, made his will, went to
bed, and when he awoke in the morning, that
damned rascal Andrew Jackson had scared
him so, that in the course of the night his

Montgomery, (Ala.) April 18 We aregra
lifted in being r'.Jc to announce, by the arrival
of the steam-boat Florida from Mobile on flic
11th instant tho return of Col. Rrearly, accr.
for the em grating Creek Indians.
Col. Rrearly left the Rordcrs of the Greet*
Nation, in this State, in the early part of Nov
last, with several hundred Creeks, composed
of all ages and sexes, destined for the countr*.
selected by him for their future residence wes
of the Territory of Arkansas. From the ear
ly and extraordinary rise of tho western wa
ters, together with the inclemency of tho wea
ther incident to the season, it is evident the*,
had many difficulties to encounter. It i*.
however, a soitren of much satisfaction to
learn, from the Chiefs and others who accon:
panied Col. Rrearly on his return, that sncl
was their confidence in his energy and perse
vcranco, that not a murmur of discontent was
heard, or a symptom of despair exhibited, amid
their greatest difficulties ; and that the countr'
offered to them is so vastly suporior, in ever*,
respect, ro tiny they ever beheld, or expected
to find that they were fully compensated ; and
that no temptation could induce the return oft;
single individual of them to hts former ter:
dence. Col. II. was met in this town by Cupt
Walker, the assistant appointed to superintend
the emigrating interests in hts absence ; and
shortly left here for the Indian Nation, with a
determination, ns we understand, to proceed
immediately to the Tuckabatehie towns in o v -
dor to put down tho opposition manifested in
the hostile Chiefs in his absence—during.w hic!
they not only burned the building erected fe*
the reception of the public stores, but offered
violence to Capt. Walker, and to those wiio
were about to enrol! themselves for emigration.
It is the intention of Col. Brearly to com
niencc the assembling and movement of a se
cond party immediately ; and from the indefati
gable z.eal and perseverance ho has manifest
ed in the cause, wc cannot doubt of his sue
eess. It is a subject of deep interest to the
State of Alabama—more particularly to thi*
section of il—'he citizens of which, wo are
confident, will promptly yield their protection
to the Agent, in his efforts to carry into effect
the views of tho Government.—Journal.
