(Correction.—There wus an error in the statement qf
last wet k, that there was but one execution against Mr.
Burritt older than Mr. Watson’s. We have understood
since that there are more than one - b\.t did not know it
before. It was not designed to cast any reflection on
Mr. Watson—but merely to shew that there was no at
tempt by the purchaser of this press or his friends, to de
preciate the property. If the other creditors had been
disposed, the properly might have been run up to the
amount of their demands. Mr. Solomon stopped his bid
ding a: $1540—and the nesi bid got Rat $!5»0.
We shall notice h-rfcafter the compliments paid to Dr.
Fort on the occasion of ms receniapp iintment—and pay
.some attention to the “Pace offering.” We h ive not
room for t tem at presen* The business of the Superior
Court, now in session, lias prevented our attention to se
veral topics of inter, st.
The Weather.— We do not ncoHeet to hire ever seen
such a continued drought as has prevailed throughout
almost every r gion of our State since early in June. The
earth has not been thoroughly wet in this region since
that time. We have .rcasionally had light showers—hui
never enough to last three days with benefit to vegetation.
—Notwithstanding we are thus parched wi h heal and
drought—it remains very healthy.
We do not know who is the writer of the following
Com.uunic .tion; yet, as it does not impugn the motives
or character of any individual, we nut uiny give it u puce,
but briefly answer his enquiry, according to our concep
tions of the subject.
Though we have ever been opposed to a protecting Ta
riff, yet, (assuming forty-five per cent as the average duty)
*ve cannot perceive how the farmer, who raises 100 bags
ot Cotton pays 45 of them to the Government—unless he
•pend the whole ot them in the purchase cf articles paying
45 per cent duties, fur the support of his family, planta
tion, &c. It is evident that the consiim. T dues not p .y du
ties on more than he consumes. Tins is a plain proposi
tion. And it is l>y overlooking this simple truth, that
Mr. McDuffie »nd others have bten led into a fundamen
tal error. If (lie Southern States p iy a duty of 45 per
cent upon the whole product of their agricultural industry,
they must lay out, as wesaj, their entire crops— otherwise
they could not pay it upon the ivhole of them. And by
such a process, io two years, we should all be bankrupts
For wniie we spent our entire income, our lands would
be growing worse, and our debts (for most of the farmers
owe some money) would be tuting up our negroes, stock,
dtc.
If this reasoning be correct—then, Mr. Subscriber; as
tour “outlays” for iron, salt. kc. only consume 15 of your
Lundr d bags—it is plain, ihat you do not pay 45 of them
to the Government by way of duty— but you save 85 for
I profit
You can easily make the estimate to shew ihe error of
such an idea. Though the following mny not be strictly
[correct—yet, we think, you w ill find it sufficiently so, (in
[round numbers) to expose the fallacy of the reasoning in
Itbe Journal.
I Suppose your 10.0 bans, each to weigh 300 lbs.
J and to be sold at 10 ctnls—They will yield &3.GQ0
W J5 of suine weight and price jield $450
Suppose that you pay 45 per cent upon the
whole of this $450—Equal to $202 50
* This lust amount (which is the dut)) deducted
from the $450— leaves $247 50
By this sirnpic process, you will at once see that what
■you could buy fur $217 50, without any duty at all, will
•now, under the Tariff, c«st you $450— mat ing, (accord-
ling to this estimate) vour tux for duties $202 53, or about
'six bags and three quarters, insti ad of 45 bags, out of one
hundred.
Taking the average of the Tariff of 1816, to be 20 per
/Cent, the consumer pays at the rate of 25 per cent for in-
. crease of duties since that period. With that tariff the
South was pretty well satisfied. There must have been
some revenue fur the support of Government, which bad
incurred a heavy debt by the late war. Deducting there
fore 20 per cent, from $202 50; you have a fraction over
IJ160, which, upon the basis of o.ir estimate, the planter
pays to the Government upon 100 bags of Cotton, (if 15
will get his supplies)—and so on, in proportion as his ex
penditures are greater or less.
Though this estimate falls very far short of 45 bags or
cbotit $ 1350, yet it will be seen that it is a heavy tax.
VVhen to this we add the depreciated price of Cotton oc
casioned by the restrictions upon commerce, the injustice
and oppression of the Tariff, are very evident. And when
we consider that this Tariff'is a bounty to the manufac
turer, the hardship is more glaring.
The moral and political effects oi the tariff as are much to
he reprobated, as the inequality of its operation. It gives
to large capitalists great influence over the laborers in tbier
employ. The laborers generally fall in debt to the little
factory store at the end of the year—and must re-engage
fur another year. Thu* they are in a situation in which
they are very liable to the political control of their em
ployers, or to be turned out of employ. The Tariff also
gives to the dishonest importer a great advantage over
the honest. The former smuggles in his goods and cheats
the Government—the latter, irom conscientious scruples,
pays the duty—and of course his profits are abridged.
Thus, Mr. Subscriber, we have briefly given you our
views of the subject of your inquiries. If you think them
wrong, you can correct ua. We cannot perceive how the
thing can be settled upon any other principles.—Though
this representation of the actual operation of the Tariff,
om no’ suit the/ever heat of nullification, yet, it appears
to Us to iit the only correct view offfic ease. You know,
sir, that our political opponents have charged us with be
ing the advocates of the Tariff. You must know too,
that this is not true. Because the Clark parly have not
been willing to join in the cry that has been made so
loud against ihe Government—because they have pursued
a steady, undeviating course—because they have preferred
dignified, constitutional resistance, to those principles
which they deem incorrect, instead of inflamatory repre
sentations and forcible resistance—they have been charg
ed with unfriendliness toward Southern interests and
Southern principles, as they are called. This charge is
as unfounded as the other. They do not recognize any
such tiling as sectional principles. They look to the great
principles, by which the Government must be preserved
as a government securing equal rights to every section of
the Union. This they believe can only be effected by the
same spirit which brought the Government into existence.
And they now behold a most signal triumph of theif prin
ciples in the almost universal opposition of the Republi
can party throughout the Union to the “Carolina doc-
trims” as they have been called; or the new Tangled code
of ntUlificalion. Having lived through the tumults and
prejudices of so many years, we entertain no fear for our
j principles. \\ e have never feared the truth. We do not
noiv fear it. It will prevail.—But we have not now time
fur ihis discussion.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE FEDERAL ONION.
Sir—I nave read in the Georgia Journal, published
sometime su.ee, that every planter who raises 100 bales
ot Cotton pay s 45 baits to the General Government, and
so in proportion on a Ess or greater quantity raised.—
t his information, Mr. Editor, has rendered me very un
easy; and it has c.iu»td me many sleepless nights, to find
out how I, a planter e. ho make about a hundred bales of
Cotton, pay 4a ol them to Lhe General Government, when
1 get as good, ana oiten a better p-ice lor my Cotton than
my neighbors. I purchase but few imported articles, as
mere are maue on my piauiaiion nearly all the clothes for
the family, and for all the domestics. My out lays are
ior iron, salt, coffee, tea, sugar uud molasses. T he two
latter articles, I know pay a high duty; but that is impos
ed, as 1 am informed, to encourage the Southern planter,
The snnK knick-knacks lot the guts, by way of finery, they
cnntiive topuichase out of the luon.y they receive from
the sale of eggs, poultry, & c. As you, Mr. Editor, know
ail about these things, please inform me through your use-
i’u; paper, how n is that 1 lose 45 bales of Colton out oi
the I (JO that I make, as I am sure that 15 bales will pay
fur ati the imported articles that i purchase yearly. It
will greatly relieve the minds of my neighbors, as well as
a y own, to know how these things happen, foi we talk
tin- subject over, and cannot for our lives make it out.
I thought I was doing mighty well, as I was laying by
money yearly for my children; but the information in lhe
Journal makes me unhappy, fearing next the General
Government w ill take the money that 1 have been hording
up for my children, when they become men and women,
to give them a start in life. A SUBSCRIBER.
[COMMUNICATED.],
Jtfr. Editor.—I find upon the list of names announc
ed as Candidates lor the next Congress, from Ibis State,
that of Gen. DANIEL NEWNAN. Having known this
distinguished warrior and patriot for many years—I feel
proud as a Voter, that he has consented to offer his servi
ces fai so important and dignified & station. It is respect
fully hoped that the good people of Georgia, in whose
cause his blood was so freely and cheerfully shed in the
last Indian War, will, as some reward, place his name on
their tickets at the October election. His old soldiers i
am sure will not forget him. C ALEBA.

SERIOUS ADVICE TO THE CLARK PARTY,
Cnntabiing six reasons why they should elevate to a seat in
Congress “that pink of purity, SEATON GRANT-
LAND.”
1st. Itis important you should choose for your repre
sentative, a man who thinks himself infinitely your su
perior, or at least regards you with unmixed contempt
and scorn. Therefore you should choose Seaton Grant
land.
2d. You ought to choose the man most averse to your
principles, and who regards you with the greatest abhor
rence. Now, who in these respects can be compared
wi'.h Seaton Granllanu?
3d. Choose by all means him who has incessantly vil-
iified, misrepresented, and slandered you. Now only
open the file of foe Recorder, and see if you have not
found the man.
4 h. Choose above all a political renegado, who cannot
be torn loose from the money-bag by the most violent
revolution of the political wheel, and who has literally
grown rich by abusing you.
5th. Choose not an implacable enemy merely,but one
void of magnanimity or generosity Shew some grati
tude to Seaton, who since you became powerless in 1825,
bas scarcely suffered h week to pass without opening the
culverins of his foul batteiy against you.
Now hear the voice of a lrieiid: Ornament your tickets
with the name of “the pink of purity.” Do not compel
me to reiterate the cry of the unfeeling drummer who ap
plied the lash a tittle higher and a little lower as requested
hy the suffering criminal, till disgusted with bis com-
pfsinis, he doubled the violence of his blows, saying-—
Z.tumls ! there is no such thing as pleasing you.” And
G h. I had almost forgotten the last and most import
ant reason—Seaton looks to you for support! ! !

To the Editor of the Athenian —
[continued from our last.]
But, Sir, theie is yet another reason for believing that
you secretly worship at the shrine of this Baal. It is
well known that you arc always “in the habit of rejecting
articles altogether, that do not suit your views.” There
fore the admission, and publication of an article in your
paper, is sufficient proof that you agree with the writer,
or think favorably of his opinions. Here then the evi
dence is another degree stronger, that Cooper’s doctrines
are favorites with you. But we can take yet one step
higher in the scale of evidence. According to your con
struction, ihe loregoing remarks apply to cases where the
article has been published at the special instance and re
quest of the author. In this instance there is litlleroom
lor the exercise of discretion; b-cause very often person
al regard will induce the publication of an original essay,
containing sentiments from which the editor wholly dis
sents. But as you have rigidly applied your rule to this
case, I ask if it be not more Conclusive, wheit the article
is expressly selected for publication from a mass of other
mailt r, by the Editor himself? You cunrtot refuse assert
to a proposition so plain, and in yielding it, you again
condemn yourself, for you are precisely in this situation.
You selected Cooper’s letter for publication; you did
so, because the sentiments contained in it were of kin
dred with your own; the conclusion, therefore, the obvi
ous, infallible, conclusion from these fact^, is, that you
are an enemy to the American confederacy ; to tbe Union
of these Slates that constitutes them one great people —
Remember vOur very delicate allusion to “pitch,” and
“defilement,” &c ; you are defiled with these atrocious
doctrines, and never can the stain be purged away.—
They have entered into your bosom- they have penetra
ted to the secret recesses of your heart; by their “abid-
inginfluence” they have acquired the “tenacity” of “in
nate principles.” This influence is betrayed in every act
you perform; in every word you utter; in every political
sentiment you express.
In reply to these “damning proofs,” I am aware that
you will point to your paper of subsequent date, in which
you say, that you “agree with the Statesman, in consid
ering Cooper an inconsistent and dangerous man.” But
my good Sir, this asseveration comes loo late; you bad
previously published Cooper’s letter under eircumstances
Which your own rule of evidence irtefutably shows, a-
mounts to an unconditional acknowledgment cf the
soundness of his doctrines, and the value of the man who
we have been told by your fellow laborer of tbe Journal,
has done so much for Southern interests ! So far as your
vehicle extended, you had aided his designs by circulating
his poison, unattended by one poor word of antidote,
thereby clearly giving your readers to understand that
voO approbated the sentiments it conveyed. How is it
Ihen, that you have so suddenly discovered their author
to be “an inconsistent and dangerous man?’* Have you
but recently arrived at this knowledge, or did you possess
it at the time of adopting his creed? for with you, adop
tion, and publication, are synonomous terms. If you did
then know that he was so inconsistent and dangerous a
man, felt you no remorse of conscience for furnishing
your readers with intellectual food from a source so cor
rupt, and that too “unaccompanied” by one friendly word
of caution against its deleterious effects? Methinbs I
hear you exclaim with a certain renowned knight, “ah!
no more of that, Hal, an thou (west me!” In pity to
your distress, the “milk of human kindness” would urge
me to spare you; but your sins are too many and too fla
gitious, for the arm of justice to be atajed in its descent.
Notwithstanding you knew Ccoper to be an “inconsist
ent and dangerous man,” you published his mischievous
sentiments; when these sentiments were held up to pub
lic execration by tbe editor of this paper, jcu made use
of the language above quoted; you denounced Cooper.
but defended his doctrines; you reprobated the mischief-
maker, but sanctified the mischief. When the indignant
voice of a virtuous people had wrathfully uttered its con
demnation of this unprincipled tool, and his baleful pro
duction, like the Recorder, you could not even then discard
them both; or like tlie Journal, hold your tongue until a
more fit opportunity; by yielding one half to public jus
tice, you thought to be permitted peaceably to hold on to
tbe other half; so you discarded Cooper, and cleared unto
his doctrines, expecting thereby perfect impunity for the
latter. But the device is too palpable, foe artifice too
shallow—you canoot hope to conceal your true motives
under a veil so thin; sharp-sighted public intelligence
has scanned your designs and already pronounced sen
tence upon them. The conclusion to which we arrive
is this; that you cannot evade the force of the charge first
alledged, by citing this concession extorted from you by
the force of public opinion; it came too late; tike tbe
vane of a steeple, you veered round, not by an effort of
volition, but, ex necessitate rei, by the power of a gale
you could not resist. In this however, you have not been
singular, your right worthy confederate of foe Recorder
has just done the same thing—and although you will say,
‘‘better late than never,” I reply, that we judge actions,
by the native which prompt thtm, consequently your pre
sent anxiety lobe loudest in vociferating your anathemas
against the pet son of Cooper, whilst you defend his
creed, cannot stand the test of the crucible. Besides, I
now proceed to shew, that the “Leopard has not changed
his spots, or the Ethiopian Lis hue.” The Athenian yet
holds on to the opinions imbibed from its prototype, the
English Cooper. The following extract from your paper
.under date of the 20ib June, 1830, will speak for itself:
“Tbe following we find published in the Charleston
Courier, anJ is said to be an extract from a gentleman in
this state to another in that city. Wc re-publish it, be
cause we think it expresses, in regard to the part this state
will take, the sentiments of nine-tenth* of the people.—
h outh-Carolina need not expect any aid from Georgia al
this time, in an open resistance to the general govern
ment—if she does, aha will assuredly be disappointed.
Georgia is as determined to have tbe tariff modified a3
South-Carolina, and the milknium will never arrive until
that is done. But we do not think it expedient al present
to run a tilt with the northern states to effect it. On the
contrary we believe it to be among the most ardent wish
es of the promoters of Ihe “American System” at the
north, that the Southern States may be indiscreet enough
to resortjo violence. Georgia will try reason and argu
ment a while longer; if they do not answer, more cogen..
tySSSVjes may become necessary. At this time her peo-
pit QfhVpct see any good to be derived from ah open resis
tance. Even if the policy was clear, which is by no
means the case with us, the people are not prepared for it;
and any attempt at force ivould but bring contempt on
its imbecility. The energies of the state could not be
exerted, and the feeble effort would end in a failure.”
Sir, if like Cooper you do not “cherish a cordial and
habitual” hatred to our institutions, and the Union of
States by which alone these institutions can be preserved,
for what purpose was this expression of such feelings?
Recollect this is the highest evidence of your opinions
that can be offered to tlie people—There is no necessity
for inference, or presumption, here, to gather your real
views. It is a direct, unequivocal, expression of them,
from your own pen; and goes conclusively to prove the
truth of the charge, that you are jet a ©ooperite in heart.
You say, “South-Carolina ntcdr.ot expect any aid from
Georgia, a! this time, in an open resistance to the general
government.” Will you please then, to designate the
precise time, when such “aid” may be expected? Is it
not fair to infer, that as yon know tlie present is not the
time, you also' know at what future time the expected aid
shall be furnished? Does not this savour of Cooper’s
favorite system of “calculation?” Again you say. “itis
not expedient at present” to adopt Ibis course. Now,
Sir, you sufficiently ut.derstand the import of wetrds, to
know that procrastination, and abandonment, are noi sy
nonomous terms—hence I infer that the only difference
of opinion bet eer. you and the Carolina disunionists,
relates to the time when it may become expedient to re
sort to that measure. Therefore ytu merely favor post
poning the event, and not at al! tbe abandonment of the
whole design. You say again; “at this time, her, (that is,
Georgia's) peoplf. cannot see any goal to be derived from
an open resistance!” Is there not a strong implication
here, that at some future time the people maybe brought
to, see that “good may be derived from open resistance?”
And may you not have some knowledge of the specific
time when the people shall be so made lo think? How,
where, and by whom, was that knowh dgc communicated?
But, say you, “l/re people are not prepared for it;” and in
fact, here lies the grand secret—the truth popped out
then. It must have been involuntary, surely. ’Tis a
most precious confession. The people are not prepared
to shed the blood of their brethren; to pull down the
most equitable system of government ever devised by
human wisdom. Why, this is true. God grant they
may never be prepared to raise their hinds to this sacri
legious work! Tiiis ihen is tbe reason why you do net
think it expedient at present, to enter into civil ivar; the
people are not prepared for it; so whenever the people
shall have been prepared, they will find you and others,
“always ready!”
Why need I array additional proofs; why marshall mori
numerous facts *o sustain the charges preferred against
you? Whoever has followed me through this investiga
tion, must rise from the perusal of this article with the
deepest conviction that I have redeemed my pledge, nm
proven that >uo have “violated the obligations of truth
and justice, by per}, rsibn and misrepresentation!” An.
moreover tha 1 you entertam a deliberate and rancorous
hostility to the American Union. I promised to develope
at the close, the adequate motive, for aH the pains you.
and others, have taken to vi/ify, traduce, and misrepre
sent, the motives, opinions, and sentiments, of the Editor
of this papci—I now do so. You are leagued with others
who ardently desire the establishment of a separate con-
foder cy at the South: the force of public opinion is the
only obstacle that prevents an immediate attempt to ac
complish this conspiracy; the public mind requires to be
corrupted; you cannot succeed in this, until every press
in the State circulates your noxious, withering doctrines
The Editor of this paper has discovered your designs, and
faithfully warns the people of them; being incorruptible,
he must be destroyed; a simultaneous slid systematic
course of detraction, and misrepresentation, is commenc
ed by some half dozen individuals, who hope by means of
a subservient and degraded press, to accomplish theii
purpose. The people cannot be prepared for resistance,
until J'ou and your confederates have the exclusive pre
paration of them—Here then is a true delineation of your
real motives; do you recognize the likeness?
But the subject expands as I proceed, I must therefore
dost; should circumstances require it, you may again
hear from mo—a gentle correction now and then admin
istered, may prove salutary to your constitutional aberra
tions, In tlie mean time I exhort you to reflect seriously
whether or not you have deviated from the right thing.—
Be governed by the monitions of conscience; let not a
false shame prevent you from acknowledging, that your
Zeal has seduced the better feelings of your nature. Re-
tantation always honorable when Sincere—I will be a-
tnong the first to extend to you the hand of forgiveness
and reconciliation. Be persuaded then not to attempt a
reply unless you can do so in better temper, and with pu
rer purpose than is usual with you. Ribaldry and abuse
never yet succeeded to convince one understanding a-
bove the level of a brute. Pay more regard to the intel
ligence of your readers, and furnish them, if not the
thing itself, as near a likeness to argument, as the bad
ness of your case admits. I w juld rather, however, find
you quietly seated upon the stool of repentance, recol
lecting the wisdom of the poet who advises, “to bear the
ills we have, rather than fly to others” that may be greater.
I will then, with sincerity, exclaim,
God preserve you many years !

TO CORRESPONDENTS.
We are compelled from circumstances beyond our con
trol, to postpone several Communications, now under con
sideration.
Afore good news from the W cut-. We published on Thurs
day hut, a letter from a gentleman in Abbeville, stating,
in general terms, that a large Majority of the people of
that District were opposed to the Nullification or Disun
ion measures, which • few’ hot headed and wild enthusi
asts among 1 hem, are Urging upon the State. This state
ment is now satisfactorily confirmed by another fotter
from an influential gentleman of that District, which we
copy from yesterday’s Gazette. This intelligence so
cheering to the real friends of the State aud the Union,
carries dismay into the Nullification ranks in this quarter
—and we think we may assure the gentleman in Abbe
rille, that he bas qo reason to entertain fears of Charles*
ton. She fs (rue to tbe Union, to the State, and to ber
own character—and she will trust no man with her desti
nies, who is even suspected of Nullification and Disunion
principles. She has ivithin her bosom hundreds of talented
and high minded sons, who bare never been tainted with
the “new fangled doctrines” of the day; and from them she
will elect a Delegation, who will give a firm and cordial
support to their country’s friends, and unite with them in
preserving the State from the most fatal of all calamities
—a civil war!—Charleston Courier.
“Abreville, August It.
"Dear Sir—Since my first recollection, nothing has
ever occurred, to agitate the community, to one tenth of
foe extent, to which we are now brought in this district,
by this new fangled doctiine, called Nullification. The
advocates of this measure, so arranged their plan, and so
combined their forces here, that when they first moved,
it appeared, that it would be impossible to resist them.
There was combination of the * * **’s * * * *’s
**♦♦’•+* * *’s 4 * * **s * * *
♦'sand* * * *’s, with' - their friends. This combi-,
nation was aided by hatred to the Tariff', by the Newspa
pers, am! by the known opinion bf Mr. McDuffie, and
the Vice President, all in favor d(f Nullification. The
party, headed by four or five practised Lawyers, have tra
versed the District, in every direction, and with all the
powers of their intellect, have preached a crusade against
foe Government of their own country. They have mag
nified the evils under which we labor, uutd they would
bear a comparison with any object, seen through Rand’s
Solar Microscope—anJ have promulgated the doctrines
of a peaceful and constitutional remedy, called Nullifica
tion.
This mighty power, this moving concert, it has been my
fate, aided by two or three friends, to resist, and although
the contest has brew hot rtnd hostile, yet I think I can now
safely say, that Nullification, and its friends, are prostrate
in this District, to rise no more. We have had about one
hundred speeches on the subject, and all that declamation,
argument, satire, and irony could do, has been resorted to
freely on both sides. The District votes 2400 strong,'
and I believe, if the election could come on to-morrow’,
that from 6 to 700, would be th : ‘ extent of the strength of
the Nullifiers. They carry consternation in their looks,
and it is understood, have called Mr. M’Duffie to their
aid—and it is sui J he h.ts agreed to speakTor them shortly.
If so, he is a ruined man here; and the truth is, he is
more unpopular, since his Disunion speech in Congress,
than he has ever been before. If he speaks for Ntdiifica-
lion, it is very doubtful whether opposition to him will not
be started, and under present circumstances, he would be
in great danger. But enough of Abbeville.—Tell me, for
God’s sake, has Charleston determined to sever the Un
ion ! ! Does she believe the middle and up country are
with her in this crusade against the Union? If she does,
she is ivofully deceived. Nor do I believe that there will
be a Nullifier elected from the up country. We hate the
Tariff, but love the Union, and will not yet despair of the

A terrible eruption of Mount Etna occurred on the
1SU» May, by which eight villages situated near the
mountain, were destroyed with lava and fire. The houses
had disappeared under heaps of calcined stones and cin
ders, which were thrown around the country to a great dis-
tance. A great number of men and cattle perish* d, al
though tbe most, frightful explosons gave warning of tbe
coming catastrophe. The coast of Calabria and some
parts of Italy, were covered with a reddish dust similar to
that under which foe country near Etna was buried. A
beautiful country bas been ruined by this eruption, which
had never been reached by any similar calamity.
Trial by jury has been introduced into the Island of

Dear Sir.—I have tbe satisfaction of informing you
that yesterday I moved the Dredging Vessel on the Floun
der Slue, in 5] feet water, and commenced dredging at 3
P. M. and filled the first Land Lighter in 15 minutes,
wind blowing from S. W. and chopping sea about 3J feet
high—Each succeeding lighter was filled in nearly the
same lime, conveved away and discharged. The ma-
chine operates with the gretest success, and I think in
calm weather, we shall be able to remove nearly fifty cubic
vards per hour—at al) events much faster than it can be
conveyed away. For the machine raises nearly double
foequanty that was calculated upon, and I have not tbe
the least doubt but that we can now remove every shoal
that obstructs the navigation, provided no gale takes place
that might tend to fill up ihe channels.
