The Tuaxes TisseUi Has i.lmost ceas
ed to be a wonder ; but the conduct of the
voungcr Brunei on the two occasions referred
to below, can r-.ver lose its claim to atlmira
t an. The extract s from an article on the
Tunnel in the New York Courier & Enquirer,
of Saturday.
The tunnel has been twice inundated.
The first tune it occurred, tbe disorder and
fright it caused among the workmen was ex
treme. Neither Mr. Brunei or Ins son were
there, but one of tbe superintending engi
neers, of the name of Griffiths, preserved
his presence of mind, rallied the men, and
conducted them in safety to the opening be
fore the water had gained the summit of the
nreii. In a few minutes afterwards, it was
filled.
Mr. Brunei being ill, his son, Lombard,
was selected to make this examination. As
he descended the stair-case, which led to the
tunnel, with Mr. Griffith, and another sub-en
gineer who was to accompany him, the work
men evinced the apprehensions they felt for
their safety, by frequent acclamations of “God
bless you,"young gentlemen !” At the mo
ment that Iscmbard was about to enter tbe
boat, and was taking leave of his mother, a
voung man sprang forward and persisted in
sharing his danger, which after some difficul
ty be was allowed to do.
The distance they had to pass, about 700
feet. When they reached the bttekier, a
large excavation was perceived in the upper
part, stopped in part by the tarr- <1 sail cloth
and clay above alluded to, but still sufficient
ly open to allow a considerable quantity of
water to enter. They took the dimensions
of the opening, and were draw ing a sketch of
it on a piece of wood, when Mr. Griffith
stooping to Iscmbard, said to him in a w his
per, Mho water gains on ns,’ I know it,’said
Iscinhard -we’ll finish and go.’ At the same
time the people at the mouth of the tunel,had
perceived the water increased. Many of
them threw themselves into it swimming, to
warn them of their danger. Others were
calling to them through speaking trumpets.
This noise was heard by the young man, who
had insisted on accompanying them ; per
ceiving that the distance to the top of the
arch was but 4 feet, he sprang up crying “let
us go,” and striking his head against the arch,
fell down upsetting the boat, and extinguish
ing the light they had with them.
Oncoming to the surface, Iscmbard called
to his companions, two answered him, and
conjured him to hasten away, as the water
continued gaining on them. Iscmbard
plunged repeatedly to the bottom, in search
oftlie other, and at last brought him up.
!lis friends again entreated him to think only
of himself, hut he answered by begging them
to assist him tn placing his burthen on his
shoulders. Animated by this example they
now all carried the body by turns, and at last
with their heads every instant, striking a
gainst the arch, again saw the light of day.—
They hid not ascended halfway up the stair
case, when the water reached the top ot the
arch. The body was then examined. Isem-
Ivml and his friends had brought out a corpse.
The unfortunate young man had fractured his
skull.
After this accident, the steam engine soon
regained their superiority, and the works
iv,r- re-commenced. Some months had
pass and, when a second irruption took place.
Tins time, Iseinhard was in the tunm-1. He
hid just left the hie kler and was half wav
(low i one of the passages, when the cry of
water! water I struck his ear. He sprung
forward, and having noticed the extent of
the disaster sufficiently to inform his father
of it, lie recollected, as he thought, all the
workmen together, and led them to the mouth
of the tunnel. There, a glance armiml him
told him that manv were still missing He
r - rite red the subterraneous passage, with
the water up to his middle arid guided by
confused ands nothered cries, perceived that
i considerable number of the men, instead of
tilling the ordinary passage to pass out oftlie
tunnel, had taken that one, of which the
egress was stopped. These poor men, in
st utl of returning in their fright struck a
giinst the obstacle which prevented their
getting out and which all their exertions
could not move. Iseinhard hastened to them
and pe suaded them to come back ; the first
communication between the two passages
was already closed ; at the second, they all
pas ed through before him except two, who
could not swim, and who begged Isembard
to leave them and save himself. Iseinhard
compelled one of them, the father of a family,
toget on his shoulders, and he reached the
| the entrance with him. Then, tearing him-
I self away from those who endeaveoted to re
tain him, he returned and brought out the
second. When near the entrance o the tun
nel, lie was struck on the head hy a piece of
timber which was drifted on the water, but a
hundred arms were stretched out tn save him,
and lie was carried senseless to his father’s
house, where his wounds confined him for
two months to his bed.

is involved. If the Supremo Court follow tl.eir
former decisions, the Cherokees will be agaiu
sustained ; and doubtless Gov. Lumpkin will a
guin be a Nullijler. Ileis every thing on every
occasion. In the words of tho Editor of the Co

hands, we would call attention to the positive
declaration of the Editor of the Cherokee Phenix,
ihat there “will be no treaty made with the body
politic of the Cherokees. And in reference to the
Governor's wisdom and efficiency, we would ask if
ho did not to say to sonic members of the Legisla
ture, that if they would sustain him, he would
VETO the Land act. Tho very act for which
his partisans claim on his account so much merit.?
State of Parties.
A careful examination of the aspect of affairs,
willindneeany one to believe,that there are in real
ity but three parties in the United States—not
withstanding the local jealousies that often have
their weight in the decision of important nation
al qnostions. Notwihstanding the venality o
some, tho ambition of othors, and the undoubted
patriotism and integrity of all ; yet there are three
great divisions of men upon principle. What
principle it is, that has such an absorbing influ
ence on the political character, as to destroy all
tho minor incongruities, which it is unable to o
malgamatev—we do not consider our vocation to
determine. These throe parties, upon the issue
of whose conflict the liberty of the country must
ultimately depend we aro of opinion, may be
classed, and named as follows —The most nu
merous, we believe to bo that party who are spe
cially distinguished, by the epithet of Cou.ah
Men—a term intended to convey their infinite de
votion and subserviency to men, or rather to one
man-, coreless alike of their country’s interest or
honor. The doctrines of that party, we fer.dly
herish the belief, will find no abiding place on
*|,C soil of Georgia. Though we may have
within our limits sorno docile draught politicians,
they aro attached to another, than the car of Van
Buren at present.
The Antipodes of these patriotic statesmen, the
second parly, arc the NciLirtias —a name inven
ted to he synonimou* with traitor and rcbel t
bl ,twhich with a pertinacity peculiar to some
words oftlie English language, in workiug out
their own signification, lus at length become hut
another term for ltr.rußi.lCAX ; which by the bye*
was the original distinctive appellation of this
piny. «
The third class of men who are devided on
principle, are those who arrogate to themselves
the title of Union men. What their creed is, it is
difficult io determine, as the changeable nature of
iheirdoetrines.rivals the varied and uncertain hue
of the Chamelioa : the disposition of that animal
to assume the color of any object with which it
is in contact, is possessed by that party in per
fection ; their doctrines are alwaj‘3 modelled up
on the theories of those who happen to be upper
most. The position they take to-day, they in
variably abandon on the morrow ; the argument
which is the object of their embittered hostility
now, directly becomes the cherished d<-grna of
their hearts; and anon is repudiated with unquali
fied manifestations of hatred and contempt. In
our own State this party have been most singu
lar)- inconsistent. If'lien Troup and the treaty vrss
the gathering slogan that echoed throughout our
State, where were they then ’ hand and glow
with the very men they now bespatter with their
abuse ! combating *pugnis ct calcibus' against the
principles which were then aeted on. and which
triumphed in the accession of the Indian Lands.
When under the auspices of Troup, Georgia nut
Yfftd the new treaty, these consistent statesmen
were the foremost among his opponents; but
when under the auspices of Lumpkin, Georgia is
attempting to play the same game in regard to the
Cherokee Lands,hey—presto—our qitanda/n anti*
millificrs are leading the van ; and feeding tnelr
imagination, with the lofty idea that they are
trampling under foot, the provisions of the Inter
course Law, and that they are heralding Geor
gia to wealth and prosperity. We shall take a
nuther occasion to show the fallacy of their pro
fessions. Our present purpose is with their in
consistencies. They are loud in their denuncia
tions of Nullification, but Wte/riasto the dogma
ta of their own political faith : eloquent in their
ribald hostility to the Republican doctrines, but
mute when they are called upon, to declare the
articles of faith adopted by the Union, democratic.
Federal. Republican party They claim to them
selves theexclusive title of Union men, and like
the tribe of Levi, imagine they have a hereditary
right tube the special conservators of the hal
lowed ark. We have been somewhat anxious to as
certain the political paneea with which these
quack statesmen would heal all diseases of the bo
dy politic, without disturbing the harmony of its
parts ; we have been rea'ly desirous of discover
ing what new cheek could arrest the usurping
arm of the Federal Government, according to the
provisions of the Constitution. W’hathigh author
ity could stay the vast strides of the General
Government, to unlimited power, without en
dangering the Union We had believed that the
Virginia Resolutions laid down the broad ground,
that a State might nullify an unconstitutional ac
ofCongross. And when the Legislature of Vir
ginia, Resolved “that this assembly doth expli
citly and peremptorily declare, that it views the
powers of the Federal Government, as resulting
from the compact, to which the States aro pat ties,
as limited by th eplain sense and intention of the
instrument constituting that compact, —as no
further valid than they are authorised by the
grants enumerated in that compact, —an J, that in
case of a deliberate, palpable and dangerous exer
cise of other powors not granted by said compact,
the States who are parties thereto, have the right,
and are in duty bound to interpose for arresting
tne progress ol the evil, and for maintaining with
in their re3FEctive limits, the authorities, rights,
and liberties appertaining to them: ” We had
thought that when the Legislature of Virginia
made these declarations, they certainiy intended
to say, laws nun u.o w. —./.v. have no effica
cy in themselves, and may be disregarded. Dm
a late commentator on these very Resolutions, lias
discovered that they meant to preserve the Union
in an entirely different manner. If a Law was
unconstitutiona'.and therefore void.a State should
have no power to declare it so, or in other words*
to nullify it; that would endanger the Union.
But she would have a perfect right to save the
Union, by seceding fromtt! ! Here is the new
discovery of the Virginia commentator.
“Unless the wrong were immtdately redressed,
and the most solemn assurances liven against
the repetition of the outrage, we would with
draw from the union. This is the Conserva
tive Remedy, which our politicians (in Virginia
at least) contemplated on adopting the Constitu
tion.”
The Union democratic, Federal Republican State
Right’s men, or to call them by their alias the
Union moil, protest against Nulltffcation as en
dangering the Union. Now we would ask them
lilts very plain question. If they are disposed
to resist tne exercise of usurped power, which
they must do in upholding the Rights of the Slate,
would Nullification or Secession endanger the
Union most!
We are apprised by a letter lium Augusta,
that a company of U. S. Iroops, under the
command of Capt. Loud, took up their line
of march on the I9tn uit. trom tue Arsctiul at
mat place, destined lor Fort Mitchell. We
presume the object of this military movement
is to release our neighbors in Alabama from
the trouble and danger of protecting their
own lands.
To th* Committee and Council, in the Ge neral
Council convened.
Fbiends and Fellow-Citizens :
It has been deemed advisablo to con
vene you for tho purpose of making you
acquainted with the proceedings of the late
Delegation to the seat of the American Gov
ernment, in order that you may be prepared
to make them known to tho people of your
respective districts, as it is important they
should at all times be correctly informed of
our public affairs. From the documents
lierewithjiubinitted, you will perceive that the
business of the mission was brought directly
before the Executive branch for deliberation
atid action It may be proper to state some
oftlie reasons which influenced the delegahon
on this occasion in confining themselves ex
clusively to this course, when it is known
that the President had hitherto disclaimed
any right to interpose his authority against
the illegal and highly oppressive encroach
uients of Georgia.
it is evident, however, that the President
in pursuing this course, was actuated more
from motivrl of policy Uy effort mjr t*cnt"*ll,
than to sustain us in our just rights; arid as
the Supreme Court of the United States hav.
ing decided the question of cause favorably,
and the President in his Proclamation to the
people of S. Carolina, on the subject es Nul
lification and soecssion, having ; romptl* de
clared the supremacy of the Constitution
and laws* of the V. Sta ts over State au
thority, there tens every reason to believe that
tie would ultimately enforce the treaties and j
intercourse act for our protection. Under
this persuasion, it was thought best not to .
agitate the question of our aff-irs before Con
gress at that tune by presenting another me
morial, it being a short session, and more
over the prncipies of nullification and seces
sion, which were agitated bv S. Catalina,
having been submitted before both houses es
Congress by the Piesident, and that the final
action of the general Gevernment upon that
important controversy, could not fail to affect
the Georgia proceedings towards us also, as
the principle upon which they are based, he. I
mg nothing more nor less than that of .Vilifi
cation, and the »nl_v difference in the princi
t'le ns maintained hy South Carolina and
■ eorgia, is that the former has only asserted
it in theory, when the latter has reduced it
to practice. A law has finally been pnssi and,
extending the nowers of the Federal Jmlici j
try, and vesting the President of the United
'tales with sufficient power to suppress the
practical operaticn of this unconstitutional
and ruinous principle. Whether this nation
will he benefited bv the decisive of act Con
gress on this subject or not, is a question
which will depend much upon the unity es
sentiment and action of the Cherokee people
themselves, as well as on the wisdom and
integrity of their representatives.
Should it become necessary, I will in a
subsequent communication, express my views
with regard to our public affairs in more ge
neral terms.

some say it is all owin to ’Squire Biddle,
and some to Amos Kindle, and some to
me and “ the Government”—that the Gin-!

to it, and put it to rights, for the Gineral
says if there is any ailing in money in one j
place, it will spread like the Cholera Mor- >
bus, and if it getts to Washinton, wc shall
be in a bad way, for nigli upon all on cm
here cant stand much of a Squeeze. The
Gineral says he don’t want to have any
thing secret about it, and that I must write
to him through the papers, for then all of
our folks can read it at once, and wont pes
ter him about it.
I start to-morrow mornin, afore day

and see how things go on there, aud then j
look into York. If 1 can only get a fair j
talk with some of them are folks in Wall

The Earthquake.
Tho affects of the Earthquake, appear
to have been terrible in Canda, if confi
dence may be plaecd in the subjoined ex
tract.
Earthquake at Canada. —The last Mi
nerva contains a strange account of an
earthquake, which is said to haue occur
red at St. Leon, in the district of Three
Hives, which, if true, s well worthy of
attention and public notice. About five
in the morning, a general convulsion was
felt throughout an extent of fifteen acres
at least. It is said to be impossible to
describe the scene of desolation which that
spot now presents; all is overthrown and
fallen to the banks of the river. The
house and barn of Isaac Lessagc, have
sunk in, as also the house and barn of
Austin Fcrron. Isaac Lessage is now
dead from having been crused under the
ruins of his house. His wife, who had
gone out to milk the cows, saw the house
sinking in. An old man saved himself,
with several children, by getting out of
the roof.—The body of Lessage has been
found, all dreadfully mangled. The house
is so sunk into the earth, that nothing but
the head of the chimney is now visible—
The barn has entirely disappeared.
The family of Lessage, who have lost
all their provisions and most of their pro
perty, arc in great privation. It is said
that"a large cross, erected on the road
eide, as is customary through the devotion
of the inhabitants, ’ was conveyed to a
great distance without falling, and is even
more perpendicular than it was before
The whole of the accident occurred with

The St. Louis Republican states that
Mr. B ooks, in giving" the milage of the

exleut to which the Missouri is navigable
bv steam. This is deemed ol some im
portance inasmuch as there is not, in gen
eral, an accurate knowledge on this sub
ject. The American Fur Company have
sent their steamboats, twenty-one hun
dred miles abovo the mouth of the Mis
souri, and in high water, steamboats of
iight draught can ascend two thousand
six hundred miles. Ihe Mississippi is
navigable by steam between six or seven
hundred miles above St. Louis. These
rivers pass through an exceedingly jertil
countrt ; and when a just system ol inter

operation, not only New-Orleans and the

Black Hawk has declared himself a can

he looks to the recommendations of the pre

3la|or Jack Downing.
" bile in Boston,l visited the Athenceum
Gallery of Paintings, and there 1 saw the
portrait of the immortal Jack Downing,
that wonderful traveller and commenta
tor on the sayings and doings of our great
men, the President’s right-hand man, and
the individual on whom it is said the
learned fraternity at Cambridge conferred
the title of A. S. S. which Jack says, be
ing interpreted, means “Jlmatin Smart
Sko’lar ! Perhaps your readers might be
interested in a brief description of the per
son of this singular genius, as represented
by the portrait. It is said to be a phren
ological head, of which the critics in Bos
ton and elsewhere speak very highly. It
is the production of Mr. Harris, a young
artist in Portland, Me. Jack is about for
ty five years old, thick set and stoutly
built, his features bold and strong, com
plexion llorid and healthy,—nose acqui
linc,—yellow hair, with a cow Ick on the
top of the head, (a capital hit). —But his
expression is inimitable. The whole face,
in the words of the Boston Globe, “begins
with the characteristic expression and sly
humor of a shrewd, thriving, and full
blooded Yankee. It is a sort of human
ized Silenus, with a breadth and vividness
of sensual roguery in the expression of
the mouth, whom Rubens would have
turned to good account in one of his Bac
chanalian groups.”
Jack Downing’s letters first appeared
in the Portland Daily Courier, about three
years since, when he introduced himself as
an honest farmer from Downingville, on
a visit to Portland for the purpose of sell
ing a load of bean poles ; but happening
in at the Legislature then in session, he
became interested—forgot his bean poles,
commenced commenting on their pro
ceedings, (corresponding with “Uncle
Joshua,” “Cousin Ephraim,” “Aunt Nab
by,” and others,) and since that time has
continued his letters, which have been as
extensively copied, perhaps, as any cor
respondence ever known.—The London
paper* are now republishing them.
The portrait in the gallery represents
him in the attitude of inditing one of his
epistles,—with a copy of the Daily Cou
rier lying beside him, and a full length en
graving of “the Presideut” before him.
Since tnc appearance of the portrait in the
gallery, there have been a number of
other portraits and engravings got up
purporting to be Major Downing, but
these, I believe, arc all a hoax. The
original portrait has not been engraved.
It is proposed by Mr. Smith, the editor of
the Portland Courier, to collect the letters
of Major Jack and republish them, togeth
er with his life, in one volume to which
will be added, doubtless, the original pic
ture of which Mr. Smith has the copy
right.—lt would form a very interesting
amt amusing volume for a long winter
evening.
A correspondent at Paris, who saw tin
bronze statute of Napoleon raised to its pe
destal, mentions that a number of spectators
wus not great, nor the sensation manifested
very strong. He adds—“ The Government
seems to have had no idea that the affair
would go off so quietly, as thev hud station
ed a large number of soldiers about the co
lumn to prevent any disturbance. Engraving.-
of the statute have for some time past been
exhibited in the windows of the priot-sho >s.
and hawked about the streets. You know
