The Jlfoff*.-We were very innocently ltd into a very great error on Saturday, in atatthg that (ho back letter mails had arrived. The error did not originate with ua—ont information waa obtained from the Post-Office, which we twice visited on the preceding evening, ami where jve twice received the Information we ■retailed the neit morning. No blame Calf be •attached to ihoposluffloe—it was a mistake into which W tn'ghtltave fallen. Fifteen Northern Halls are now due, and rlntreli very little prospect, according to the Charleston papers, of our receiving any oflhem t: a very er1/ period.

Mr. Easterling, the owner of the line from Georgetown to Marion court. ■ house, got Ids brother-in-law, Mr. Cotton, to go upon the main line to esamine the state or the roads—he did nut however, proceed further than Marion court house, having met with such Obstructions that hi* progress further was oom jdetely impeded—lie lias therefore returned.— It may b'i some time before we receive a north, cm mall by the main mail road i and more ei pecially as no Mlroonf are made to clear out the road from Pee Dee to Marion cnurtdioosc.

In these arc placed as many tablets of polished brats, having inscribed on them, at full lengtli, the well known humorous and highly descrip, live tale ot “Tim ’o -Shinier |" while, on the other side, it a clever painting by Stephen, an able Ayrshire attist, representing “heroic Tam," mounted on Ilia grey mare Meg, and ihulung onward amidst the appalling horrors of (lie midnight storm— “Whiles Itaddih 1 fast Ins guile blue bonnet, Whiles crooning o’er some sold Scots sonnet, Whiles ginwring rout,’ ’wt prudent caret, Lest bogles catch him unawares.” We have it in cur power tn relate a most extraordinary experiment mode by Dr. Y.

We really feel imeompetent tu task of describing the melancholy effects pro duced in thin town nnd neighbourhood, by the late dreadful Hurricane ; we had in tended tngive at least n summary account of the damage sustained within tho town, but it has been so general, and the build ings exempt frnm serious injury so few, that we mu6t content nujncmot with stat ing that nur town oxldhiis, at this mo ment, a scene of ruin and desolation nev er surpassed in this State. The wind ap pears tn have been lull as violent as it was at North Inlet—the title, however, certainly did not rise so high. The Court House has sustained very serious injury, and many of the records in the Clerk’s Office destroyed ; the Sheriff's Office Imd every door and window blown in and the records and pi pers destroyed ) the four cltimnes nf the Jail have been blown down and the building in other respects much injured; many of the tiles have been blown Hum the root of tho Dank ; the building over the market, occupied by the Town Council, is nearly down, every pillar xvhich supports it, being fractured. We have lisd no particular accounts of the injury sustained in the crops ; but it must neces Mtrity be great, as much of llte lieu which was harvested has been hlnwn out of the ham yards and dispersed—many negroes have been killed, and most of the bants and mills have been unroofed and other wise injured, and the hanks and trunks torn to pieceB.

As an extraordinf ry example of what may be taught a child, her acting is certainty very curious. We look at it as we would a ties in a chariot team, or a lent tied lobster, or the automa ted cltoss player, wandering how the deuce the thing could be taught ; but it destroys all llte illusion of the drama,— ami not only of the drama in which she takes part, hut of the drama generally, lor whenever ye see a clever actor after wards, the impression is strong upon our minds “ This is trick and not intellect, mere traditional imitativeneas, and not original talent.” In witnessing the Duen na with this little Wonder’s lauao Men- dnza, these thoughts occurred very force lily;.and even Iter more congenial exor lions in Little Pickle (Spoiled Child) only confirmed their truth. Yet her per- situation of this Character is really sur- prising, and so admirably sustained that it must he seen to have its playfulness and spirit fully appreciated. We are assured that out of the pale of Iter theatrical ex hibitions this Clnra displays no remarks ble abilities, hut is on the contrary rather less informed than girls of her age usually are. ■Kokanl Tartars—The account which has recently been published of the very interesting journey which the Russisn Embassy made to the Tartar-country of Knkant (in Central Asia,) informs us that the inhabitants speak tho Turkish Ian- guage in the greatest purity, and are very tar advanced in. civilization.. The strict eat probity is stated to prevail among them. Whoever is convicted of imposi tion, is immediately stripped of all his clothes, without respect to persona gcourg cd with whips through alt the streets, ahd compelled to proclaim himself aloud cheat. Their lawsuits are carried on without uny records of the proceedings. The priests are their,judges, Who in large assemblies, at which the commander in chief presides, hear causes and pass sen tence. Treachery »nd usury are punished with death. The property of a person executed falls to (he public treasury; his wives ami grown-up daughters are given in marriage to common soldiers. For theft, one or both hands are lopped off, according tu the value of the thing stolen; immediately after the execution of the sentence, the stumps of the arms are dip ped in boiling oil, and the thief is then suffered to depart as incapable of farther mischief. A murderer is given up to the relations of the persons murdered who are.t liberty either to kill him or sell him. Aduliresses are buried in (he earth up to the breast, and then stoned to death by the people, * THE GATHERING OF TUB CLANS. “ I tee the d*ggefcreit of Mar, I aae the Moray’a silver atar Wave o’er the elats^Of Saxon war Tlttl tip the lake cornea winding far.

A body of about eighty or 'a hun dred Highlauders nod Amateurs, associ. ated for encouraging and reviving the na tional dress and customs ot the mountains, and numbering many men of rank amlix consequence. In general, they are fully ' and even superbly dressed and arrayed in the belted plaid, each in his own clan tartan, which distinction gives a rich and half barbaric effect to their appearance.— Their grenadiers carry partizans and tar-, gets, ami arc headed by Captain Macken zie, of Uttinard, whose stately, and at the same time handsome and active fiyure, re alizes the ideal of a complete Highland soldier.

Clan Gregor, under their Chief, Sir Evan Mac’Gregor, whom we rejoice to see completely recovered «f the wounds he had sustained in India. The tartan of his clansmen is red, with a branch of fir in the bonnet. They are (Gentlemen and kernes) about thirty'in number ; and we saw with particular interest this clan, wlttme sufferings and proscriptions are so well known, come forth so gallantly to at tend the Crown of Scotlond,’’ Which still they lovo, because their Tattlers war.” 5. Glengarry has a small, but select following: twelve Gentlemen of his house, amongst whom we noticed the gallant Col. Macdonell, brother of the Chief, and famous for his achievements at the de fence of llougnmnnt, where, assisted on- ly by a serjvant of the Guards, he slow or drove back six French grenadiers, who had forced their way into the Court yard. Also we saw Barrisdalc, Scolhouse, Ma jor Macdonell, and other cadets of this ancient line. Each had a gillie in atten dance-tall, raw boned, swirtliy fellotva who, besides the sword and target, earri’ ed guns of pot lentinus length.- We be.* Iieve they are chiefly the furrestere of the Chieftain ,and, indeed, they look as if' they had dune nothing all their lives but lived by hunting, and slept in (he woods. 6. The Marchioness of.' Stafford has sent up fifty men from Dunrobin. They came to attend on !r,.r Ladyship’S' second son, Lttni FrancU Levesnn Gower, who carries the Sceptre, by Royal permission, as representing Itis mother. They wear the plaid, acarl fashion, and the trews; which, though perhaps as ancient » garU‘ has not quite such a military effect tmtho belted paid.

Upon !.'° ,hat 5 f l men were wanted, 200 volunteered within ait hours ; ami, in l .ie course nf the next dxy, 1,000 came down to the Castle, all eager for the expedition. “ 7. Lady Gwydyr has produced a very gallant band of Drummonds, about 30 we think •, for equipments, in the hurry, could be round for no more though many were -assembled. They wearuword and targe, have a holly bouigh in their cap, the anci ent badage orthetr tyrbe ; & g re aa smart mountaineers as the eye could wish to look on. The Dukes nf Athol and Gordoi( M Lend, Lord Fife, Mrs. Farquharson; ot tnvercauld, and other high chiefs, offer ed, we understand, to contribute to this martial attendance ; and it would have been, no doubt, an easy thing to have rendered it twenty fold more numerous. I his was, however, declined, lor various reasons ; and in particular, because the two or three hundred men already assent, blrid formed a sufficient specimen of the readiness of Highladers, their martial ap pearance, and their attachment to their chiefs. To legalize the meeting of so many of the clans, they were all aworn in to act a> guards to the lord high constable and knight marshal, in discharge of their high offices-; and nothing could be more orderly thap the cuuduct of these milita ry strangers.
