The Mechanic.—If the dignity of tilings mav
he measured by their importance to mankind,
there is nothing, perhaps, which can rank
above the Mechanic Arts. In fact they may
be called the lever, the fulcrum and the power,
which moves the world. They do not want
the “ whereon to stand" of Archimedes ; th
have a sufficient foundation in themselves.
A' hat gives to civil nations their superiority
•ner the savage? It is chiefly mechanic arts.
Ily them the beautiful and convenient mansion
is substituted for iIip rude and uncomfortable
hit; and scarlet and fmo twined linen supply
the wardrobe, in place of the skins of wild ani
mals. They are the foundation of nearly all
the improvements and cornIhrtw of life, and
further, we may say, of the glwv and the gran
deur oft he world. 15 y them the farmer ploughs
the land, and hy them the monarch is adorned
with Ins crown, and by them the peasant is
clad in comfortable garments; by them tho tri
umphal arch is raised to the hero, and by them
the temple ascends to the lloilv; by them the
wealthy rtdl in chariots and loll on conches ;
bv them the table is spread, the bed decked,
aed the parlour is furnished. To them the
poet owns the | erpetuation of his fame. Ho
mer sings and < «sar triumphs in all ages.
Through them we arc instruetrdbv the wisdom
of Plato, and charmed by the tdoipiem e of Ci
cero ; through them wr admire the justice of
Aristides and the heroism of Leonidas.
And much of this is owing to two single arts,
♦h it ol printing, and the manufacture of paper.
fiy the form* r learning has been rescued from
the gloom.of the dark ages ; lint without the
latter, the benefit of printing would he circum
scribed to very narrow hounds. It is hy means
of the press, chiefly, that so much of Christen
dom owes its escape from the thraldom of su
perstition.
But in speaking of the dignity of the me
chanic arts, we would not confine them to.the
mete hand that excretes, without thinking of
the head that plans ■. for without the latter but
little more credit would be due to the person
who exercises these arts than to the nutonm-
ton '•'tirlt, who merhanically astonishes the
world at the game of chess. To produce the
great effects we have mentioned above, to do
so much to enlighten, to heautil'v and improve
the world, to tabor tor tlte glory ami happiness
, of others, and yet he ignorant of the springs
bv which the important movements are carried
•o, would ill comport with the dignity of (lie
mo hanic. He would (“ if we mav compare
small things with great.”)bn like the sun in the
Heavens, which renders light and warmth.nnd
comfort to mankind, w ithout itself being eott-
sci ms thereof.
here i« a philosophy in the mechanic arts.
Th mechanic who brings to his occupation
an inventive, enlightened, atirl imputing mind,
wb i is master of his craft, in theory as well as
in practice, has more of real philosophy in him
than twenty of those minute philosophers who
spend their lives in puzzling the world with
empty metaphysical speculations, nnd of whom
• Jieero speaks with much deserved contempt
The ntechnnic who perfectly understands his
trade, as well in the principles ns the practice
of t. gets himself a degree nf no inconsidqrn-
ble rank, nnd honour, ttnd that without the in
tervention nf a college, or the formol vole of a
learned corporation. To heroine an ingenious
mechanic, it is noeessary that the youth who
is di silncd for a trade, should bring to his em
ployment n tnintl inquisitive, studious, busy,
and inclined to Mechanic pursuits. Such a
mind, with m il.nary attention to its cultivation,
cun scarcely fail of becoming in n very consi
derable degree enlightened. But to the com
mon sources of information, n good many me
chanics add a very laudable attention to, the
periodical puhli ations of the day, nnd the ns.
aocialinns for mutual instruction. Meehn-
nics’ond apprentices’ Libraries nre established
and mechanics’ societies nre formed, which, hy
inducing studious habits, interchange of ideas,
nnd collision of sentiments, must tend to im
prove tho minds of tho members to a high de
gree. There is in fact, at the present time, n
very largo share of information, nml solid pr-■
tical knowledge among the mechanics of this
i ountrv.

Dr. a a Sir:—Your letter of the 2Gth nil. has
boon duly received. In answer to your mqui-
l can only give such information 11s was
communicated to me and others. Capt. Charles
Grndison informed several persons here
Telegraph a Liar and Scoundrel, for having
knowingly and front base motives, perverted the
truth.
While in Darien, in July last, I casually re-
marked in conversation, that if the measures of
thepresent Administration uerecontinued,they
would lead to » abrogation of State Bights,
render the Con-tiinlmn nugatory, arid from an
amalgamation of State Sovereignties a consoli
dated form of government would be establish
ed; and that n'l power being concentrated un
der one general head, its aristocracy would
multiply public officers nnd sinecures, with an
increase of salaries, the better to strengthen
Executive patronage; that the Revetiuederivcd
from Commerce, (to which the Southern States
have so largely contributed) would, from its
crippled state, produced bv rceent measures.,
prove inadequate to meet the current expenses
of such a government, to say noth ng of a re
duction of the public debt. That to supply the
deficiencies of the Revenue, direct internal
taxation would from necessity ho resorted to—
an alternative the People would not hear; that
Itie Southern Agriculturists were already near
ly reduced to a state of vassalage, hy protect
ing duties for the encouragement of other
branches of industry at their expense, and that
they could not hear an increase of unequal bur
thens, which if persisted in, would produce a
Crisis, that would provoke a separation, peace
ably or forcibly ; that such an event would fix
the seal to the death-warrant of the Republic,
and out of its ruins might arise, a monarchical
and arbitrary Government—For these remarks
the informant of ihe Telegraph, has made me
say. that I am impatient for the arrival of the
greatest calamity that can befall die Country

my acts, l*v words or deeds, give the lie Why
did this “ no contemptible man”—who it seems,

travel all the way to Macon, to disgorgo his
falsehoods, when lie had a printing office in his

Had he started from almost any other partpf
the garden, the accident would not have dk-
eurred, His preservation was indeed wonder
ful, for his back being towards the staff, while
lie was waving his flag to the audience, he was
perfectly unaware of his danger until he found
himself suspended between heaven and earth
like a telegraphic signal.
The number within the walls was not less
than two thousand, and that without something
like fifteen hundred. It is said at the garden
that he will soon make another attempt. I was
particularly attentive tn the various operations
attending the ascent, and think the actual dan
ger attending them much less than is general
ly considered, provided the weather is good.
The great risk is in getting above earthly ob
jects, and again avoiding them in coming

When I heard of these observations; 1 look
little notire of them, supposing them the result
of excited hut momentary feelings. On the

even occur to my mind. But J confess I was
surprised to he ngain informed, thnt Gen.
Floyd reiterated the same, or similar observa
tions, nnd thnt lie called on Air. Keating (the
foreman in the office of the Darien Gazette)
and got a list of the names of Ihe persons, who
attended the Administration meeting here, on
the 14th ol June* It was on the receipt of this
second editf n of General Floyd’s conduct
thn* I began to fear a plan had been in content-

V. Vorte, Sep/.' 19.—Yesterday the contem
plated Ru/looti Ascent of Mr. Robertson took
p'lace, hut terminated in disappointment to the
siiccfators, and imminent danger to the tcro-
natit. Castle Garden, ns it is now called, is a
large stone fort, semi-circular, of one tier of
ports, embracing nn area of one aero and a half
of ground, and stands upon a wharf built in the
river, whin't communicates with the Battery
promenade by a bridge about 100 yards long,
being upon the whole the most convenient
place for an experiment of the kind probably
in the Union. Outside ofand against tho wall,
is a very tall flag-staff I suppose 90 feet or
more in height. About 3 o’clock the process
of inflation commenced’ , which was continued,
(aided by and under the direction of Mr. R.)
until near six. when the car. furnished with a
barometer, &c. was attached to tho cords, nnd
shortly after the balloon rose majestically,
“ carrying with it tho intrepi d mronaut amidst
the roar of cannon, and tho sound of music.”
The voyage, hovever. so an'spicioiisly com
menced, was mos unfortunately ended, almost
as soon as began. The wind had blown fresh
from E. nil day, but had subsided almost to a
•nlm, so that the balloon nnd its ndventurnns
iwnor rose almost perpendicularly, hut feeling
the air as it ascended, it was carried directly
against the flag-staff. The point of the pole
penetrated the balloon a few feet above the
lower end, whole the gas is admitted, while
the. cords, the car. and the flag that was flying,
became entangled, nnd the car, (which, hy
the by, was mni* of wicker, nnd little larger
than n coed sized market basket,) being upset,
Mr. Rohertsor, wna thrown out. Ho, how
ever, retained his hold upon tho side, which,
together with the support of the cords, staved
him. His situation was now perilous in the
extreme, tor tlm balloon losing its gas, nnd
the rent becoming large hy its struggles to get
clear, nnd his strength gradually failing, the
danger of falling on tlm stones of the wharf
below was every moment more imminent.
The rope hy which the colors are hoisted, of
fered the onlv possible means of escape, hilt
the poor fellow, dangling in the mid uir with
his head lower than his heels, and apparently
half choked with n enrd across his neck, was
ignorant of the neighbourhood of the rope,
though a thousand voices vainly shouted the in
formation. A momentary, partial silence be
ing obtained, a gentleman halloed to him in
French, to seize the rope, which, ofter several
ineffectual attempts (ns ho w as suspended out
of reach) and it being cautiously slackened
below, he effected. Tlm cords w Itich were
his preservers at first, were now nearly fatal
lo him. for lie could only free himself by ta
king the rope in Ins mouth, while ho used his
hands, which he did at the expenso of two of
his teeth. When ttcar, his descent was so
rapid tlmt the skill was torn from his hands. I
oppose he a as thus situated about fifteen mi
nutes, during which the greatest excitement
prevailed among Ihe spectators, particularly
those in tlte garden. Ladies were shrieking,
the men were shouting directions and encou
ragement, rendered indi-tinet by the tumult
that prevailed, mid rewards were offered to any
person who would climb tlm staff One man
attempted it. bill failed, from its great circum
ference and smooth surface. Mr. R's. de
scent was greeted like his ascent, with cheers,
(but much more enthusiastic,)music nnd firing
of cannon. I never hud, in my life, my feelings
so wrought upon—the caso I believe with all
present.
But for this interruption, it would have been
one of the finest aerial flights ever made. All
th ngs from the commencement of inflating
the balloon to its meeting with the staff were
conducted without interruption or delay—the
day serene, nnd just breeze sufficient to carry
him about thq distance of Newark before dark.
Important Army Movements.—AVe under
stand that Fort Niagara is immediately to be
garrisoned hy four companies of the second re
giment United States’ Infantry; and report
says, that this fort will be made head quarters
of the frontier line of posts. By tho Detroit
papers, we are informed of several new ar
rangements made in the AVcst, by thc -AVnr
Department, among which are tho re-occupan
cy of Fort Dearborn, (Chicago) and Fort
Gratiot. But the most important measure of
the Department we conceive to bo, tlmt of es
tablishing a new post, immediately upon the
portnge between the Fox and Onisconsin riv
ers, itt the country of tho AA’inncbago Indians.
Permission for this was obtained, of tlte na
tives, at the late treaty at Green Bay. The
post will be called Fort AVinnebngo.and is to he
garrisoned by two companies of the first regi
ment of United States’ Infantry. This Fort
will occupy the only intervening land, (a por
tage of hut six miles) between the chain of the
A\ r estcrn Lakes, nnd the Mississippi river.
The position is about central between Prniri
du Chien, on tho Mississippi, and Green Bav,
and upon the extreme Northern verge of. the
mining country. To chtain n cession of this
district to the United States, is among the ob
jects to he embraced in tin* late treaty at Green
Bay. Tho purchase was not effected, but per
mission was obtained to occupy Ihe minin L
district, until all the Indians interested in the
sale can be collected, at a Council which will
convene the ensuing summer, probably at Ga
lena, when there secmslittle doubt the arrange
ment will take place. In the mean time, flic
Indians propose to inform themselves of the
numbers of tho whites, bv actual observation;
for which purpose fifteen of their principal men
came to Detroit, in the Clay, on their way to
Washington. They propose visiting, before
they return, the seaports of New England, and
many of the large interior towns of thn coun
try. “This,” says the Michigan Herald, “ will
doubtless have u powerful effect on those sa
vages, who have heretofore considered them
selves equal in number to the whites, and more
brave aud warlike. They will soon be eon-
vinced of their error, in regard to the numeri
cal strength of the People of the United
States, and, of course, less willing to put their
bravery to the trial.”
Gen. Porter, the Secretary of AA r ar, arrived
hero with his family, on Friday morning last,

“ Trieste, July 31.—ATerclianfs’ letters from
Ancona announce that Count Capo d’Istrias,
President of Greece, had arrived on the 13th
at Corfu, with the Secretary of State Trikou-
pis, on board the Russian ship of the lino
Azoff, on board of which was Admiral llevden.
Count Capo d’Istrias had had at Navarmo, a
long inrerview with Ibrahim Pacha, Count
Hoyden being present; and in which the Eg.n-
lian commander is said to have hound bine 1 If
to evacuate the Moreaat thn end of August,
and to deliver up to the Greek authorities tho
fortresses which wore still in his hands. An
Egyptian ship of war is said to have been im
mediately sent to Alexandria to inform Meho-
inet Aliof the situation of affairs, and to ask
him for transports lo bring away the Egyptian
troops which are in Greece. The same let
ters say that Admiral Rignv wa« a' Corfu,
where Admiral Codrington, who hnd had v
Rante an interview with Count Capo d’lstnas,
was expected, as well as Mr. Stratford Can
ning. It was thought that thn conferences on
the pacification and independence of Greece,
at which Count Capo d’Istrias is to be present,
would soon commence.
“ Meantime the blockade of the ports which
the Egyptians still hold in Greece confirms
in the strictest maimer, and some Egyptian
vessels attempting to violate it at Mndon, are
said to have been sunk by the ships of war of
the Allied Powers. There is a report here al
so ol the blockade of Alexandria and the Dar
danelles hy tho Allied squadrons, in ease the
evacuation of thn Morea should not take place,
and it is added, that this measure would even
bn combined with a landing, if Mehornel Ali
should refuse to recall his son, or if the Porto
should not ratify the stipulations which may be
agreed upon at Corfu.”
The Constitutional assures us, on the autho
rity of letters from Corfu, that Admiral de Rig
nv had demanded and obtained from Ibrahim
Pacha the hberntion of eight hundred captives
—thnt ahoW 3.G0O Albanian soldiers, who
composed pt.rt of his army in tho Morea, bail
resolved not to continue the war against the
Greeks, and Ibrahim himself was about to re
turn to his father. “ If,” adds Ihe Journalist,
“ this news prove correct, tho projected expe
dition in favour of the Greeks will lose mnuv of
its difficulties, though none of its importance.
In opposing an insurmountable obstacle to the
efforts of Ottoman obstinacy, this expedi
tion will preserve the military and political
character ascribed to it. AVe repeat 'he as
sertion, that the army feels all the importance
of the mission on which it is sent, and that it
will answer tho expectations of Franco, happy
and proud to carrv back civilization to the land
which was anciently its cradle.”
Thus, if the word of tlm wily barbarian so
lemnly pledged to tho allied Admirals, confirm
ed hy his chief officers, and enforced under the
vigilance of European caution, can bo relied
upon, the Morea may be considered as already
evacuated by tho mere men ten of a French
expedition, before a single soldier of that ex
pedition has embarked for Greece. In these
circumstances, it becomes important to ask,
will that expedition sail, arid what purpose can
it be intended to serve in a country where it
as soon as possible, but without avail, as it ap
peared that life was extinct. This most unfor
tunate instance of premature intention!, should
he n warning against too early a burial in any
case where death is sudden, or onlv preceded
by a shoit illness. It is to he feared that too
many instances of this kind occur, that are ne
ver discovered.—Poulson's I). Advertiser.

“ Differences are said to have existed for

late tours. It was at AA'indsor that a final in

in order to carry on the siege.
“Our troops attacked the Turks with im-
