very reasonably, ask some legislation on the part
of Congress, to secure their rights in the utw Ter

they know to be within the proper province of
the Treaty making power, but they set forth that
it is doubtful whether in the present disastrous

The •Wfishitigtou Globe makes the following
remarks relative to the course of the House Coni
miitcc of Foreigu affairs, on the French Ques

“The President, in his Message, says:
"If it shall be the pleasure of Congress to await
the further action of the French Chambers, no fur
ther consideration of the subject will. a( this sis
sion, be requited at your hands." . He, however,
suggests, S3 a reason for provisional legislation,
at this session, the fact, that the Chambers had
been, against the pledge given, “prorogued to
the '29/A of the present month—a period so late
that their decision can scarcely be made known to
the present Congress.” The call of the Cham
hers to meet on the 1st of December, instead of
the las: of the month, a circumstance which was
not anticipated, and which, by putting it in the
power of the Chambers to net in relation to the
treaty in time for a communication of the re
sult to Congress, before its adjournment, has
precisely recommended provisional legislation.
The Committee, then, in declining to report a
bill authorising reprisals, have but accommoda
ted themselves to the new state of things which
have arisen since the delivery of the message,
and this course is iu perfect accord with the views
of the Administration. Wo believe th-U neither
the Piesident, uor any member of his 'Adminis
tration, wishes provisional legislation uow. when
every arrival brings news of the proceedings of
the Chambers, and when, therefore, Congress j.s

the ultimate decision of the newly elected Depu

of the case, when a few days might entirely re

Here is a miserable tribe of Indians, so exter
minated “by means of instruction," received from
.Massachusetts and its benign legislation, that the
very name of the unfortunate race is lost except
in the immediate neighborhood of the poor ghosts
that still hover about the graves ol the nation;
and the Gbvcrnor of Massachusetts has the hardi
hood to tell the American People, that this for
lorn remnant of the powerful nationv.wliicb once
occupied the State, l wlll soon be able to manage
the affairs of the district which they occupy."—
What cold blooded sarcasm this to the unfortu
nate Marshpers ! When upon the point of be
coming utterly extinct by two hundred years of
oppression under the lash and slaying system of
cruel overseers, they are mocked # with tho idea
of becoming an independent people, and “able
to manage the affairs” of a nation!!—Globe.

The Worth of a Good Education.—Of the dy-
; Monarch, Don Pedro, the Lnudou Chroni
cle says, that he lias to the last maintained his
high and decided character. In a conversation
with the physician in attendance on him. shortly
J-cfc.re his resignation,' he inquired whether he
hart any family. The physican having answer
ed that he had a large family.-thcu. said Pedro,
above all things take care that they receive a
good education. As a living matt, whose words
ought.to have some weight, 1 entreat you to at
lend to this. For myself and brother Miguel our
education was so thoroughly neglected, that on
reaching manhood, wc were iu a state of brutish
Ignorance, Having been, by the incidents of my
life, thrown among men of cultivated minds and
experience.. I discovered my own ignorance,
and endeavored.' as far as was in my power, to
avail inyself of such opportunities as offered for
my improvement. But after accidental circum
stances led me to discover my defects. I was still
obliged to act according to my imperfect infor
mation and under tbe influence of erroneous im
pressions. Mature age brings with it correspon
ding duties, and a man finds to his cost that it is
too late to gain much that might have been ac
quired with ease in youth.” This anecdote we
have received from a source which may be re
lied ou, and it is strongly characteristic of the
man aud proves how much Portugal will lose by
his death.. .

In tho year 1752 he arrived in. America, and at
the commencement of the Revolution en'isted in

tinned with little interruption for nearly 30 years.
He was engaged in some of the most mciuorbble
battles of-tlte Revolutionary War. When La
fayette wits wounded at the battle of Brandy
wine, Wallace assisted in rescuiog him from
his perilous situation, and carried him off the field
of battle to a friend’s house nearly two niiles dis

with the exception of a tremor in his baths, en

Wc regret th* loss of the owners ; the Balloon,

M ACON FANTASTICALS !!!
The good people -of this ilk were amused on
Saturday last, with a spectacle,, at ouee divert-
iug aud mortifying : divet ting from the ingenuity
of the contrivers and tbe ludicrousuess of ibt
scene ; and mortifying that the statutes of tbe
commonwealth and the enlightenment of the
times, should still foster.ail institution so osclesi.
so expensive and so utterly inefficient as the cue
thus solemnly travestied—viz: tlte nulitiasystem.
It was muster day. The commandaut of the
564th Company G. M., as in duty bound, had
ordered out his men for drill and inspection; aud
they, as in duty hound! abb, appeared on the
field, arihed and equipped—nof exactly as the
lawdiretts—but exactly as their peculiar humor
directed. Of course, they appeared ia all man
ners of equipments, complexions ant! attitudes.
It was a complete masquerade—ajfaucy training,
a rag b ill, at which every one assigned the cha
racter most agreenble to himself. Many eminent
personages were there represented to the ’life :
there was Col. Pluck,with his enormous cha
peau, and feather some six feet in heighth; a tre
mendous broadsword carved from a poplar board,
and spurs and w hiskers to match : then there tvs*
Captain Downing, of the Downingville militia,
with a codfish strapped to J;is back bv way of
knapsack, a loaf of bread for cartridge box, and
a stone jug forcautetea. There was also the cc-
I lebrated Black llawk and his. suite, in their ap
propriate; costumes aud with their peculiar war
weapons. There were a.’so many other conspi
cuous characters, whose names we were uot for
tunate enough to learn, and whose dresses it is
impossible to describe—hot knowing any thing to
compare them to. either ou the earth, or in tho
waters under tbe earth. They surpassed all com
prehension. We saw no two dressed nlike-^nor
hardly aity two limbs. If one branch of the upper
or nether garment wits black, the other was red,
or white.-or blue. Tbe caps or helmets were of
all shapes and sizes, jud material's—front a cala
bash, to- a Wafer pail; tln-y were most!* however
ol pasteboard, handsomely fitted and ornamented
lor’ the occasion. "The music was delectable!
there were tip horns ami rams horns., cow -bells
•nd whistles; and for .1 bass drum, a man beat
upon a huge tin k tchci; with a pair of baud malls.
There w ere some guns ou the ground, but the
most common weapon Was a broom. One had
a box ofsegars instead of Cartridges ; and ingo
ing through Mie manual lu handled them with
considerable dexterity. Some appeared in tre-
nuaduus whiskers, others i.a prodigious mosta*
Chios, that would have pul Don Miguel’s to the
blush. Many* were bump backed, and some put
bellied. Several had their legs marked in large
letters “right” and “left”—to assist them we sup
pose in keeping the step. Tne coi j)> marched
through several of the pri11cip.1l streets, aud per
formed various-evolutions—to tlte -entire satii-
faction ol the spectator?, many of whom nearly
dislocated their ribs m laughing!—and though the

NANKEEN COTTON.
, A load of Nankeen Cotton, from tho planta

New Invention—We li.ive juSt witnessed brick,
making on a very complete and rapid scale, by
a machine which litis beeu recently invented by
Captain Thomas Bennett Shaw, ofCiarksville.
Habersham county, Georgia, It ii now in lull
operation, at Mr. .vitgustus ILGihsou’s place,
near thi® village, and makes about one thousand
bricks p ’r hour, with seven hands aud a pair of
oxen. The clay is thrown into the machine m
its natural state, ami from its gradual operation
aud working up, is perpetually casting and mould
ing out solid bricks with smooth fronts and ends,
which for squareness and beauty w have neve
seen equalled iu any part of tlie country. I j **
brick can'lie made of 'any size and shape, suit
able for forininj; a square or cir le. The whole
construction appears to be plain, simple and
cheap, and can be carried on by negroes or auy
other persons. The respectable and industrious
inventor of this machine lias taken out a patent
for the same, and we understand he is ready to
furnish them for any person, at a tnod< rate price,
who may leei disposed to undertake the business
in any of the counties of this fftate, or the United
States.—Southern Spy, September.
Through the politeness of Mr. David F. ” ti*'
son of this place, who h is purchased the i'Jv 1 *
