T El E M A CO IS GEORGIA TELEGRAPH. aFrom Grrham's Mazarine. LUCK IS EVERY THING- ▲ tale—by Joseph ji. chandler. Tlie course of true love, it is said, did never yet run smooth ; and those who have had experience on that turn pike ot the ali'e. i.tms, or rather rail load, as it is soon run over, bear testimony lo the jolts, "runnings off/* and tnash- ings un alive, of which the poets speak.

There was no morn pleasing young man in the thriving j village, than Henry Bradford ; and every body agreed wit.) his neighbors, that he was the most agreeable person, and the br.-t educated about. But he did not study law. he de- tpised medicine,and c 4 id not take to thechurefa ; he had fre quciuly thought of “nierch iodise,” but that required a capi tal which he coaid not raise, and so he did not get ahead, though he was forever on the brink or some wonderful sue- cess, which lie certainly would have secured, ifbe had only entered upon the enterprise. Mary Carver evidently loved Henry Bradford ; for know ing that. excepting He handsome person, pleasing manners, and good character, he had nothing to offer, she would not otherwise have been deaf to the offers of so many young men whose character and positiens rendered them desirable «o the family. These offers were repeated so often and hints so strong were given to Mrs. and Mr. Carver, that it was dtemed proper, after a serious deliberation in cabinet council to admonish their daughter that Henry was in no business, and was not likely to be in a way to maintain a family. Mrs. Carver opened the diplomacy with her daughter, and after two or three conferences, retreated under the I a ugh of Mary, who declared that she did not doubt that Henry weald one day be rich enough to take care of both, for lie had had a dream that he should be. Mrs. Carver had no disposition to laugh in such a serious mission, and so desire to be angry with her daughter.H Mary, however, knew that when her father came to nego tiate, she would have to use oilier arguments than Jaughier, and therefore, she admonished Henry of the approaching storm Henry thought of it two or three days, an unusual time for him to devote to any thing like bis personal affairs, At length^he family was honored by a formal offer frv clergyman in a neighboring town. Ilo was learned, pious, rich, ami respected, and .uch an offer was not in bo slighted. It was not slighted. Old Mr. Carver took the subject to bran, and Mrs. Carver gave her shear muslin cap a doub'e clear starching upon the very idea 01 becoming inmher in- . — : - : ,:er.

Mary made no answer, lor she was a little mortified at the ludicrous turn which her mother had given to Henry’s rather dreamy propositions, though she had never heard him build any castles in the air out of such materials. Henry came wi.kbis usual pleasant humor, and sat down by Mary, and after a few words, he perceived that some thing was wrong. "Mary,” said he, “have you been reading the Sorrows of War ter I” "No, Henry, but I have been listening to mother's sor rows—her lamentations overyou. She says ” “Never mind whst sue says, Mary, as ] perceive it is not very good; inst listen to what I have to tell." “Well, what is it, Henry ? I hope it is good.” •’Kxcellent, capital; it will be delightful." ' “Do, then, tell me what it is.” “Why last Sunday night, I dreamed tkal ” “Dreamed!" exclaimed Marv, with a most dolorous »igb. “Aye, dreamed,'' “ ■ Well, go on.” “I dreamed that I had drawn ten thousand dollari in the Plymouth Beach Lottery." “Wofl, what then ?” “Why I dreamed the same on Monday night, and on Tuesday night, and the number was 5 4 3 2. Well, I sent right to Boston on Wednesday, and purchased the ticket, and here it ia: you shall keep it, Mary, and when I go up to Boston for the p -ize, yon shall go with me.” Poor Mary smile.I mournfully and reproachin-ly. Henry left the House, and went home satisfied that be had made a right disposition of the ticket. Day after day did Henry watch at the Post Office, to read the first report of drawing; but day after day passed without the desired information. At length one of the yonogmen was heard to remark, that Henry Bradford had shot out of the Post Office, as if be received some strange intelligence. “Maty,” said Hen y. “here is your father’s paper, and look III Ihe returns, No. 5 4 3 2—TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.” Mary turned pale—the news was unexpected. “Let's go to Boston,” said Henry, “and get the money." “The prizes are payable tbiriy days after drawing,” said Mary, looking at the bottom of the ticket. Toat nigbt Mary told her mother of Henry’s luck. Mrs. Carver seemed rather startled. "Are you not pleased, mother?" asked Mary; “do you wish lo oppose other obstacles to our union?” “MaTy,” -.nil Mrs. Carver, “do you recollect tbe most uncompromising hostility which your father has to lotteries •—his utter abomination of money thus distributed ? This prize will be worse to him than poverty. Ever since they refused to make him a manager in Plymouth Beach Lotte y, he Ins set down tbe whole as gambling, and every prize as the devil’s gift for mischief; nml to sav the truth, most peo ple begin to bold opinions with him." "Why, mother, every body did not ask tobe made a man ager in the Lotteiy!" “No, no; hut people may, like your father, arrive at cor- rect conclusions from selfish considerations, and good opin ions may become general, without any special motive for change.” The next day Ma-y gave back to Henry his ticket, with an account of the conversation with her mother. Henry was moriitied at the result; he understood and »p predate.1 the feelings of the -‘old folks,” and in any other person's case, he might have aporoved of it. ‘‘But what does your father want ?” said Henry. “Does he suppose that the mode adopted to build churches, endow schools, and fl ush public works. Is mo impure lo supply the needy purse of one vdio wishes lo be Ida son-in-law t He it more nice than wise." “My father,” said Mary, “may not think himscT called upon to be as particular about what concerns the public char ities. corporations, or in.lifferent individuals—as be is, and is bound to be, in what concerns the respectability of his own family.” “But if I acquire wealth by lawful means ” “Henry.futlicr never askeillhatyou should be weahhy; be thought it proper, and he makes it a cno.liuon of our mar riage, that you should hare a respectable hnsineis, since you have not wealth." “And your father is right,” said nenrY; “hut how I am to get dear of the odium of my lottery prize, 1 can neither ace nor guess." “Perhaps you will dream it though,’’ sail Mary, archly. “I can dream of nothing but schooners, brigs, and ships," said Henry. “Oil, if vnu only owned n good vessel.” said Mary, “I do not know Lu: father would almost forgive its coming as n prize.”. ' A prize lo a privateer,” said Henry, “but not in a lot tery." Henry wardered down towjirds the wbarvOS and unoc cupied ship yards. The war allowed of little or no work among the ship builders! The hull ofa fine brig lay at the whsrl. Sue ha I been launched » year, ana there was none to purchase her. She was tdD clumsy lor a privateer. “Mr. H<.lri.es,” said Henry, “what is that vessel worth7” “She is worth twenty thousand dollars,” said the owner and builder t she cost that as she is, and she will bring twenty-five tlmu-and the very hour peace Is declared.” " Would you like the money for her at a ca.lt price ?’* ■■ Nothing would be more acceptable. But there are not fiftren thousand dollars in the county.” The remarks of Mary about hrr father's respect for a ship owner, bail been running in Henry's head eve- since they were uttered, un.l lie beckoned aside the owner. “Mr. Holmes,** said Henry, “ I have a commission to ful fil, an.) as you know I ntn not much of n business man, I must nsk you to consider a proposition which I am about to make to you, and to answer me explicitly-” “ Let me hear the proposition.” “ J will give you ten tl ousaud dollars for the brig as she now lies.” “ And the time of payment 7” “ Within forty days. You cannot want the money sooner; the river is frozen over, and you could make no use of the cash before that time.” Mr. Holmes turned to Bradford sad snid : 11 You know-. Henry, that 1 am aware ffai you have not the means of payment; also, that vou Me not a person likely to be cm ployed as no agent in sorb business, and yet 1 have every confidence in your word.” Henry explained fully to the ship owner the state of his affairs, nnJ exhibited to him the lottery ticket, No. 5, 4, 3, J. •• But.” slid Mr. Holmes. •• there tnnv be some mistake about tbe matter, or some failure of the lottery, by wbicli I should loss.” Henry explained his motives and wishes, and in two hours he held in hi* hand a bill of sale of the brig llelvetius, which, as the papers were not obtained, be immediately re named Mart. Tbe condition was, llial Henry was to bold the vessel for fortv days, nnd if within that time he should pay tan thousand dollars, slit was to be his ; if not, sha waa to tell you. Head that paragraph in the Boston Cer.nnel: *» Correction.—The ticket which drew the highest prize in tbe Blyteouta Beach Lottery, was 4. 5, 3, 2. We understand mat a gentleman of wealth in the southern part j oflhistownis the fortunate holder.” “ What do you sav to iliac, llenrv ?” "Only that the old gentleman will not now say that I have the wages of gambling.’’ •* No. nor will be give you the ered*t of being a ship own er," said Mr. Holmes. •• You have been unfbrtoeaie, Hen ry. and I am really sorry for you,” continued Mr. Holmes, changing his tone considerably, “and regret my own loss, as I have need of the money ; but as you cannot pay for the brig, yon would better bond ms tbe bill of sale, and let us destroy it." Henry drew from his pocket the precions document, and while he examined it from top to bottom, he said to Mr. HolmesThis affair has been to ire like a pleasant dream, not only on account of my aspirations for Mary, which you are acquainted with, but day after day 1 have fella growing energy for basinexs. n sort of outreiehing of tbe mind, a determination, with such a noble beginning, to proceed cautiously, but steadily, to do what l ought to have begun years since*. Then, Mr. Holmes. *§ the bill has yet some days to run before 1 ct n be chargeable with violation of contract. 1 will restore it to mv pocket-book, and if 1 can dream as l have done, X shall not, at least, be awakened too suddenly.” Mr. Holmes, of course, consented, as he really had no right to claim the vessel unlit the forty days should have ex pired ; aud Henry went np to tell Mary of the new turn his lack had taken. Though Mary respected her father too much to feel pleas ure in Henry's new possession, yet she loved Henry too much not to feel deeply grieved at his bitter disappointment. ” That dream,” said Honry, doubtingly,—“ that dream has Dot yet come to pass.” Some day* after that, there waa. as usual, a gathering at the post office, at some distance from the ship yard, await ing the arrival of the mail. The stage, at the usual hour, drove up. and the driver said, as he banded the mad bag into the bouse, that be guessed there was belier news to day than be had brought since the victory on the Lakes. " Another victory. Mr. Woodward ?’’ " No, not another victory, but Peace 1* “ Can yon tell me.” said a dapper looking youn; man, as lie slipped from the stage, “where can I Holmes, the owner of the brig Helvetius ?” " Mr. Holmes lives on the bill yonder," was the reply, “ but it is thought he does not own the llelvetius now.” “ Has he sold her?” * Yes." “Ism sorry for that—who is the owner ?” ** Mr. Bradford, the young man whom you see reading the newspaper.” The stranger stepped Into the house, and iuquired of Henry whether he would sell the brig. Henry »aid that he would cheerfully part with her. “At what price ?” “ At the peace price.” . “ Stage is ready,” said Mr. Woodward, tbe driver. “ We will rideover to the village,' said Henry, 'and converse on the matter as we go along." Henry soon emerged from the stage coach, and hastened to M r. Carver's. “ You look cheerful,’’ said Mary. “ 1 have drawn another prize.” “ Not another, 1 hope.” “ Yes, and a large one r I have sold the brig for twenty thousand dollars, to a Boston house, and .1 *m to Bo io Ply* mouih at four o’clock, lo get ray pay at the Bank. 44 Bui the brig was noi youra, Henrv. 8urely you are not deranged—you could not hold tbe brig afier tbe mistake of the prize was corrected " # 44 There is just where you are mistaken, Mary. There is a bill of sale, which allows of forty days from da e for the payment. Say nothing lo any one,” cried Henry, M and I wil 1 be w^th you before I sleep/’ “ What's the mailer wiih Henry V* said Mrs. Carver, as she entered the room; 44 baa be drawn another prise T I guess not, mother,” aaid Mary; “only dreaming again perhaps/' , ,« At nine o’clock. Henry arrived from Plvmonth, with an accepted diaft for ten thousand dollars, in favor of Mr* Holmes, and a Bank book, in which he b.*d a credit lor an equal sum; and the brig Mary made some of the moat profit able voyages that were ever projected in Boston. She waS in the East India trade; and as her return wa* noticed in tbe papers, (and it waa usually announce d about the same time that the very respectable family of Bradford had an increase.) Henry was wont to exclaim, 44 luck is every thing/' „ , _ . Some years after that, twenty-five at least, as J was n- dioe into Plymouth with Bradford anl his grand daughter, I referred to the anecdote, and came to Abe conclusion tba t •Mock way every thing/’ *t There m.ny be some thing in luck, said he; but the hope which I g3lheied while I held the ticket, with the Be- lief that I had a prize the resolutions which I formed while sitting and gazing at life lofty spars of mv brig, and ibeconh- ding virtue, the filial piety, and me perfect.lore of Mary, did all for me, and 1 should have been rich without the brig: so you see it was Hope, contemplation, woman s vtr- toe. woman’s piety, and women’s love, that made me what I am. And let me add, friend C-. that yon and I owe more lo woman than the world credits to her. Let us, at least, do her justice. From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce. Operation of Ihe Tariff. We said soon after the passage of the present Tariff law that it would not, in onr opinion, yield a revenue sufficient for the support of an economicl administration. Saw that we publish the vast receipts at our Custom House, we are asked tauntingly, whether we think the ‘-black tariff” will produce a sufficient revenue. Our answer is. that we have not changed our opinion. We have proclaimed, through the vears of darkness, that. Bank or no Bank, Tariff or no Tariff, whether with bad government or good gnveroineut, our country would rise from ita depression, and that in fact she was about to enter upon a career of unexampled pros perity. Our readers will recollect ibis, and will remember {tow the cries of “Land ho!” were ridiculed, and the people gravely assured that no return of good times could be hoj>ed for until a National Blflik should have regulated the curren cy, nor in fact by any possible means except the election of the croakers to office. What we see now, is only the frui tion of onr prognostications, uttered in the darkest period of commercial distress* It was certain to be so. But the Tariff, we acknowledge, lias increased the action of busi ness nt this time. The law was adopted in a period n r ex- haustation, ami certainly no man will pretend that it impart cd any immediate stimulus to trade. Business remained for a whole year without feeling the slightest benefit from the Tariff, or the least revival for any caose. Gold came pour ing in, until an unprecedented stock was accumulated, but there were no signs of life in the dry-bones, Everythirg was dead. The first effect of the Tariff was. to postpone the healthy reaction of trade. It prevented the importarnn of goods, and increased the importation of gold. If the Compromise Act had been carried oat, as it ought to have been, according to all sound principles of political economy, nnd plighted faith too—the rate of duty having been placed at twenty five per cent in lien of home valuation—there would probably have been imported ten millions more of goods.^and ten million-less of gold, Thefirst effectof the protective tariff therefore was. to postpone the healthy ac tion of business, and by creating a greater dearth of mer chandize an>l a treater superabundance of money, to set two agencies at work, whose united force would go to increase the violence of the reaction w hen it should take place.— These two propellers, added to the natural power of a great reaction, have produced what we have seen during the year 1843, nml what is now going on. This scarcity of gonds and cheapness of money have enabled our merchants lo pay thirty, fifty, seventy-five nnd a hundred per cent duty in cash, and sometimes more, nnd yet sell their goods prompt ly, and with good profits. Under such influences, the wool lens of Gtrmaov sell readily for twice their cost, and many cotton fabrics of England, together with Iter pig and bar iron and hardware, in the same proportion. Our own manufac turers a re incapable of supplying the vast demand which ex ists. so that, although tlicir goods have advanced thirty, fifty, and some of them nearly or quite one hundred per cent., they have \ et a pressing demand, nnd, runt.ing their mills with the utmost diligence, make fortunes off.hand. The maximum of their protits is limited only by the manufactures of other countries, boocht in active markets, and imported under our enormous duties. These influences have raised the price of “factory stock” to twice or thrice the price it bore one year ago. nnd set thousands to building new factories. The end of all this, unless speedily checked by a modification of the Tariff, will hc,at; organized system of smuggling, a vastly increased amount of capital and labor invested in manufactures, an over supply of goods, a scarcity of money, a break down in the prices of manufactured goods, the bankruptcy of manu ' faclurers. and a diminution of trade as a permanent matter, which will leave us with the deficient revenue which we predicted long ago, and predict ac»io now. Thus it is that any effort to regulate trade, does but di-order it; aud any elliut to protect a particular interest, raises up, in that ii est, an overgrown, clumsy competition at lmme, more i gerous than the regular, open operations of foreign trade. We are destined to become a great manufacturing people, j We are in fact already great, in coinnietce, agriculture, ' mnnufaot ires, nnd fisheries. ^ e have 80 much business, and Providence has given us a condition so much superior to that of other nations, that we prosper in all that we set onr hands unto, until we have more labor pressing upon us than our highest energies can accomplish. We can tnanu-t facture all sorts of merchandize cheaper than any other pe“- tnstrumopts of war wore enough to blanch many a fair cheek. The —Peace maker” loaded with ball ot 225 lbs., was discharged three times, and, as it was sent skipping down die r ver. many were the expres-ions of gratification, and numerous '.he compliments Captain ruockton received on the occasion. A ter dinner, and when the ship was on her return totiie c iv, the forward gun was tired, but with out a bait, and loaded wi'h powder only. Who that beard the exmosion of that gun will ever forgetit? The gun bad burst. A as the smoke cleared away, Mr Upshur. Secretary of Slate; Mr Gilmer. Secretary of the Navy; Commodore Kennon. of the Navy? Virgil Maxcy, late Minister to Bel gium, and Mr, Gardiner, oftia r diner’s Island, were ki'led and so mutilated as to be scarcely recognizable. Mr. Pratt, Member from New York, and Mr. Barney, of Baltimore ruslted to the spot the moment after tbe discharge. They discovered men on both sides of the gnn, prostrated, and particularly two persons on tbe larboard side; covered with fragments of the yet smoking gun. Mr. Prstt soon recog nizeti Mr. Upshur snd Mr Gilmer. Farther on. mangjea, and still quivering, lay tbe brdy of Mr. Gardiner, torn into atoms. Mr. Pratt seized a handspike, and, with great diffi culty, and the aid of several sailors, removed the iron from the bodies of Mr. Gilmer and Mr. Upsher. Mr. Gil mer Was bathed in blood nnd still gasping, but a moment more, and it ceased. Mr. Upsliur was dead. Mr. Gilmer was standing with bis back to the gnn. and was engaged in convei sarion with Mrs. Withered, of Baltimore. Amass of iroa struck him in tbe back, weighing, it is said, not less than a thousand pounds. Com. Kennon and Mr. Maxcy were on the starboard side, and were instantly killed. Four tailors and the President’s body servant were mortally wounded. No ladies were hurt, although one, who was alluding near, had her hair burnt and her eve-brows scorched. Mr. Benton’s escape was miraculous, bis hat was blown off and he was uninjured. The President was likewise most providentially saved. Being engaged in con venation with one of the Miss Gardiner's, who, as they were about to discharge the gun. felt “atnngely nervous" she said, and requested him to band her to the cabin. How beautiful and happy were those fair girls, this morning, when they leftiheirlodgiogs, accompanied by their lathers? In a lew hoars, they returned, crushed to the earth by their bitter bereavement. The President has taken thereto his borne, where the ladies of his family, tbeir intimate friends, will minister to their sorrow. Who can picture a scene of more poignant wo, than this affecting blow, to the yoang and numerous family of Gov Gilmer? How inscrutable are the ways of Providence. He never gained bis own consent to accept a place in tbe Cabinet, although urged by alibis friends to do so. He openly expressed his conviction tbat it “boded biin no good.” It is impossible to describe the ulnrra and distraction that pervaded here when tbe sad* disaster was first known. Citizens and strangers were rushing to the hotels, to ascertain the particulars. “Great God. whnl ia this 1 hear,” exclaimed Mr. Wise, at pale and quivering with emotion, be asked for information, be fortunately not bavies been one of the party. Mr. Spencer was also kept away by pressing engagements, ToCapt. Stockton no blame can possibly be attached. He was mu-.-h nearer the gun than any one else—in fact, was found standing on it when the smoke passed away. Of course be was stunned and burnt, but dreamed not that death had made such havoc with his gnests. When told that the Secretaries were both dead, he was almost phren- zied—exr'aitning again and again, with clinking emotion, “would to God that 1 bad been tbe only victim.” He was brought to liis lodgings, at Gadsby’s, and is quite ill. Many hair-hicad.fi escapes are related. A gentleman bad bis hat torn to pieces by a fragmen of iron; another rested in tbe lappelle of bis coat. Mr. Benton’s hat war knocked over board by the concussion of air caused by the explo sion. A diamond ring was found on deck, and a pocket which coutained a net silk purse, in which was money; but although every inquiry has been made, no one knows to w-bom ibey belonged. The upper half of the gun, below its axis, killed Mr. Gilmer, Upsbur. Kennon, Maxcy and Gardiner, who were grouped together on the larboard side. Much of the iron was thrown into the rigging. The sailors were wounded by the separation of the breech of the gun, which also drove out the bulwarks. Commodore Warrington will take charge of the Navy Department for the present. Mr. Wilkins. Secretary of War, owes his life to a pointof etiquette. He left the group around the gun, sayintj tbat he bad no riglu lo interfere with the business of tbe Navy De partment. Mr. Maxcy, who was among the sufferers, was a brother ot tbe distinguished Dr. Max-y, President of the South Car olina University. WASHINGTON, March 1, 1844. This has been one of the brightest and most delightful days ever witnessed at this season. The sun shone with intense splendor. Little business seemed to lie transacted in this city, and there were but few people in the streets.— The President's House was open daring the morning to such as cbose to cast a fleeting glam-c at the countenances of the dead. One of the coffins, tbat of Mr, Upshur, it had been found necessary to close. The funeral is to take place to-morrow, at 11 o'clock, and tbe cortege will be un commonly splendid and imposing, every necessary arrange ment for ihat purpose having been mode by Adjutant Gen eral Jones. Mr. Packenham, the British Minister, who, by the way, was invited to the party on board of the Princeton, but did not attend, sent an express tbe same evening, with the intel ligence to Btftion. He is in communication with the Cunard line of Steamers, by special Rail Hoad express, which shows that he has already commenced his negotiation. It is to be supposed that tbe late event will retard for some time, the progress of the negotiation. Mr Nelson, tbe Attorney Gen oral, will discharge the fuactiona of Secretary of State only liil a person can be appointed; This office appears to have been unfortunate of late. Mr. Forsyth tlied soon after leav ing it; bis successor, Mr. Webster, was driven from it by party intrigues, nnd in opposition to the earnest advice of Mr."Upshur. Mr. Legare succeeded to the discharge of its duties, and the additional labor and responsibility thus thrown upon him cost him his life; Mr. Upshur followed, but with great reluctance, and with the intention to leave the office” and the country before the termination of the present session. Mr. Gilmer came into the Cabinet with the understanding that he was to succeed Mr. Upshur as Secretary of State. It would appear that ill fortune must attend not only those who lake tbe office, but those who are designed to take it Those who were wounded in the late disaster, are in a fair wav lo recover, including all the sailors but one. It is not known that anv are missing, and the conjecture to that effect ia now believed to be unfounded.

'‘ r rieeni The existence of a volcanic mountain in Rabun County has been denied. It should seem, however, from the fol lowing article, that there is some truth in the statement which, we believe, first appeared in the Athens Banner, de- describing tbe periodical eruptions of the volcano. From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce. The Volcanic fflonnlnin in llubuu County, Georgia. I have advices from my correspondent. A. W. ferns’ Esq., of Clayton, in said county, of the I5lh inst., giving the particulars of the phenomena attending the convulsions of that volcanic mountain, which is in his immediate neigh borhood. The smrke which issues from the crevices in the rocks, is very dense and black. The fire has been seen to rise ten to twelve feet above the summit of the mouutain. There discharges are not regular, but occasional; some times once a month—then intermitted—and again at inter vals of two or three months. These discharges are seen in the day time, and also in the niglp. My correspondent adds that there is something uncommonly strange about the inte rior ol this mountain. Rabun County, or roost of it, is high table laud—the agricultural part of it is elevated above tide about 1800 feel. The Blue Ridge is the rangeofmountains which pass through this county, and which is here volcanic. Kabon County is in Lat, 34 deg. 55m., Long. AV. C. 6 deg. 24m. AV. The immense pile of mountains which load the sui lace of the Eurth's crust for a great distance through this part of the continent, is enough to produce convulsion, en crusting as it does the great gasometers of inflammable air. This is tbe Volcanic Mountain of which the newspapers some few months ago gave an account. The information given by my correspondent may be relied upon for its ocru racy. E. M. Kjclrzioi-diuary discovery in the Jin nit rite In re ot Halt. Several months since, we stated that a remarkable phe nomenon had occurred on the Kanawha, by which the nat ural Gas, coming up with the Salt water lmd been used as fuel to boil the saltwater. Jn the following article which we extract from the Kanawha Republican, it will be seen that this process has been carried still farther and that this phenomena is now one of the most extraordinary natural developments of modern times.— Cin. Citron. The Kanawha Salt Region —We have said before that the subterranean wonders of the Upper Kanawha Val ley were not half explored, and every day proves that there are not only mysteries but treasures of wealth of which the preceding generation bad no conception. AVIien a year or »o ago Mr. Tompkins turned out the gas that forced up wa ter under the kelllei to aid in converting the brine into Balt, thereby saving one-balf of the fuel, it was thought to be n vast stride in the march of improvement and discovery, bat now Messrs. AVarllt & English at tbeir new furnace hat e actually attained the Irishman’s desiderutum in the proposed S urchase of two stoves—they save alt the fuel. The gas as sufficient power to force a column of water three inches diameter, from the depth of a thousand feel to the height of about fifty feel above the surface of the earth. It is then turned under the furnace ignited and boils the water till it is btought lo 'he slate for cnryslalization and then conveyed to the cisterns and produces the heat that carries on the process of evaporation. Thus 350 bushels of Salt of the first quafity are made per day, without one panicle of other fuel titan the gas. At these works but one cistern is yet erected nad tney are able tu use only one half of the water that is forced up; another is in progress of erection, when completed all the water will be used, and 70 or 80 barrels of Salt manufactured daily, without coal, wood, or tbe rays of the sun. The circumstances connected with the explosion of the gun on board tbe Princeton, were investigated by a Com mittee, and are thus reponed: « The Committee, at the request of Captain Stockton, pro ceeded to examine witnesses, as to the causes of the explo sion. and accordingly called upon the officers whose duty was most immediately connected with the loading of the gun, for such information as they had to give. “ Lirnt. H tint, ordnance officer in cna’ge of the great guns, represents that he loaded the gun himself, with but twenty- five pounds of powder—tbe usual charge being 30 pounds Over the powder was placed a single shot, with the usual number of wads. That the persons nearest the pun at the time of the explosion, were Capt. Stockton. Mr. King, the gunner of the ship, and himself. “ Lieut. H not also states, tbat this gnn has been repeated ly filed with a charge of 35 pounds of powder, and once in New York, with acuarpe ol 49 pounds. “ In the statements of Lieut. Hunt. Mr. King, the gunner of the ship, concurs. Mr. King is a blacksmith by trade, and is of opinion that the gun was indifferently made, of iron of an inferior quality. “The Committee, as well from the foregoing testimony. The Morals of Banking. If any person desires to write a homily on Btmks, let him take the “ North American Trust and Banking Company” as his text, and refer to the report of Mr. Receiver Leavitt for ilhulralion# By the process of final ciering adopted it! that exemplary iustitatiun, and under the sublime system of strict accountability (to each other) pursued by its pru dent and trustworthy managers, only the small sum of three and a half millions of dollars has been sunk in three years. Those who invested fu ids in its stock, i I"not among the number of special assignees, need nut. we presume, give themselves the slightest trouble about tbe affair, as the Receiver states that the whole of the capital, with even the chairs and tables. &c., belonging to tbe concern, has vanish- ed. leaving as little trace behind as a ship that lias been en- gulphed in Goodwin Bands* Mercury, the guardian angel of modern financiers, has accomplished his perfect work, and has performed his task so cleverly, safely, and legally, that he may look on composedly without having occasion to use the wings attached to bis heels for the purpose of ab- squatulation. We wonder what “friend Hutne,” the Cocker of the British Parliament, will say when he reads Mr. Leavitt’s report. He had, we believe, “a small venture,” say 50,- 000or 6100,000, in this same unfortunate Institution.

Mr. Hogan, bearer of despatches lor Mr. Thompson, oar Minister at Mexico, passed through this city yesterday on his way to Washington. He left the city of .Mexico Oil the 13th ol February. He informs us that there is still consid erable doubt about tbe final settlement of the decree of ex pelling foreigners from the Californias A good deal of ex citement also existed among the American residents at Mex ico in relation to the movements of Great Britain in regard to Texas. A British fleet was stationed at Vera Cruz. The general impression was, that the English were secretly as sisting the Mexicans in tbeir efforts lo regain possession of Texas. The Mexican army numbers about 25,000 tnen in all, cav alry, artillery, and infantry, ol whom about 16.000 are effec tive. They are much belter paid than formerly, and more efficient. Tbe Castle of Ulloa. at Vera Cruz, is being put in a thorough stale nl repair. It mounts a battery of ICO guns, though many of them are out of order.

They are all in chains with the exception of some five orsix, and nre employed upon the public works. They are in a most deplorable condition with no prospect ol a speedy release. From Mexico. By tlje ship Tipperanoe, CapL Gray, from A’era Cruz, we learn that at the time of her sailing (17th Feb.) every thing was qn'et, both at that port and in Mexico. The Mexican Government have approved of the arrangement made by their Minister in London, hence ail difficulties be tween England and Mexico will be amicably settled. Mr. Bankhead, the new British Minister to Mexico, had not yet arrived, but was looked for daily. The February instalment, due on the indemnity to the United Btntej, had been paid. Tiie U. 8. snip Vincennes, Cnpt. Buchanan, was nt A’era Crux, to sail ill a few days for Pensacola ; she would have sailed on the luth February, but wa- detained by a ‘ North er;” on the 15th, information was received that General Thompson had finally concluded his business with the Mex ican Government, ami intended to leave Mexico immedi ately for the United Btntcs. The Vincennes would, there fore await his arrival, it being bis intention to take passage The officers and crew of the A'incennes were The Buckeye Blacksmith. This Whig missionary has lately been enlight ening ihe ignorant people of Savannah on ihe “Beauties of Whiggery/’ The Ediiors of the Republican” were thrown inio ecstar ips oft ihe occasion, anil occupied a half column of tbeir jour nal in eulogising “Buckeye,” and expressing their uninierrupted pleasure and satisfaction” while listening to bis ‘‘entire” speeches. We envy not the refined- lasle of the Whigs of Savannah, if tlicir spniimenis are expressed in the columns of their organ. “Buckeye” was in 1 his city previous lo his visit to Savannah, and addressed the Clay Club. So disgusting were his performances, so low and vulgar wert^ his arifecdotes and allusions, on his first appearance, that, on his second night, many lead ing, intelligent, and influential Whigs absented themselves, heartily disgusted and ashamed of llieie animal. We would refer (hose who may not he gifted with the faculty of memory, to the jour nals of 1840, where they will find a certificate, signed by a number of respectable citizens of Mus kingum co., Ohio, certifying JOHN W. BEAR to be “A DISHONEST MAN, OF BASE CHARACTER;” that be swindled certain per sons of Muskingum county, out of money, a horse, a wagon, &c. and sloped. He subsequently runa way from Indiana. Shortly afier these interesting and patriotic exploits, he suddenly re-appeared in tbe Eastern part of the United Slates, in company with Win. C. Preston and Win.C. Rives,as Whig emissniy. under the cognomen of “The Buckeye Blacksmith.'’ Tiie Whigs are welcome to their worthy disciple and his influence. From indi cations, exhibited among the virtuous and intelli gent of this'city, while “Buckeye” sojourned here, we were induced to believe that his race, as a public orator, was nearly run; hut the “talen* ami decency” ofSavannah have received hint wilh great demonstrations of joy, and “Buckeye still shines—a splendid luminary in the Whig galaxy. The bosom of every true patriot and Inver of his country, burns with shame and mortification, on the reflection, that men, arrogating to themselves all the “talent and decency," can he assembled, and listen rvith “ ttninierrupicd pleasure and sat isfaction,” to the vulgar, anecdotical harangues of a hired, worthless vagabond, who is indebted to his heels for the liberty lie enjoys without the walls of a penitentiary.
