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. [From the Columbus Enquirer-] There appeared in the Macon Telegraph of September 11th, a scurilous and slanderous letter purporting to have been written from Columbus in w hich it is stated that when the bun fired (that killed Maj. Camp) “I remark ®d that 1 must go and emp'oy Iverson as 1 had been requested bv Col.

The precise grounds of displeasure are not stated. But from certain expressions in the criticism, we infer that the Maryland orator atiackcd the protecting system, even within the sound of the cataracts of Pawtucket, and the whizzing and whirring of the fly-wheels and spinning-jennies. Our Providence friends, however, can find comfort in the wri tings of Mr. Jefferson, who has taught ns that! erros of opinion can safely be tolerated while reason is left free for tnc combat. [A - y.

As the public are generally informed, that, in consequence of our paying Mr. Noah thir ty-fve thousand dollars for the New York Enquirer, in 1829, lie bound himself and his friend, in the sum of twenty thousand dollars. not to establish or write for a daily newspa per in this city for the period of eight years without our sanction, it becomes onr duty to say that the bond in question, so far as relates to the contemplated new publication, lias been cancelled. .V. }; Cour. and Enq.

Such is the favorable nature of the country between those two places, and such is the abundance of suitable materials, that it has been compu ted the above sum will be quite sufficient to complete the contemplated road. Many counties East of this, have at length, entered upon the pruiswortliy business with a zeal, and earnestness, which must, if perse vered in, ensure eminent success, and the most signal advantages.

THEMES. Slil’TlktlßllK, ISBB. FOR GOVERNOR, JOEL CRAWFORD. “ That the principle* and construction contended for by sundry of the Slate Legislatures, that tbe Gen. eral Government ia the exclusive judge of the ex. tent of the powers delegated toil, stop nothing short of DESPOTISM—since the discretion of those who administor the Government, and net the ON. STITUTION, would be the measure of their pow. ers—That the several States who formed that in strument, being sovereign and independent, have the unquestionable right to judge of the infraction— and that a NULLIFICATION by those sovcreig.v. ties, or all unauthorised acts, done under color of that instrument, is the RIGHTFUL REMEDY.” Cxtruct from Kent. lies, by 7'hos.

Exl/i rtf join MtiS Resolution by 'l'hos. Jefferson. The topic lias been urge.d home to the people of Gergia, that the efficient administration of Wilson Lumpkin had secured to the State, the peaceable possession of the Cherokee Lands. It will he seen by the Message of His Excellency John Ross, Governor and Commander in chief of tlir Chrroltt!© territory, whieiv publielt to-Hay. tnat he relies on the principles of the Proclama tion, “ to enforce the treaties and intercourse act ” — for their protection. Avery peaceable possession acquired by the Governor; and from all appear ances. this peaceable possession is likely tube a lasting one ! There are four new cases, we are in formed, carried up for the decision of the Supremo Court, in which the TITLE itself to the land 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 lumbus Democrat, “he is a slippery fellow, that’s a fact ” When on the subject of the Indian 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. JOHN ROSS. Red Clay, Cherokee Nation, May 13, 1833. * Treaties have the same force with Laws by the Constitution of the U. States. To Mr. Dwight —Daily Advertiser. Washington, Sept. f>, 1833. My good old friend.—Since I wrote to you last week, we have seen so much said in the papers about money being so scarce in New-York, and other places north, ( some say it is all owin to ’Squire Biddle, and some to Amos Kindle, and some to me and “ the Government”—that the Gin-! eral wants me to go right off and look in 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 light. I’ll stop a day or so in Philadelphia, 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 Street. I'll git to the bottom of it in a minit. I know tliere is money enuf somewhere —folks donteat it—and what the Gineral wants me to find out is, where the money is, and what on earth is the reason folks cant get it when they want it. Your friend, J. DOWNING, Major. Downingville Militia, 2d Brigade. 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 in a short distance of the Church of Cit- Leon .—Montreed Gax. Western Rivers. The St. Louis Republican states that Mr. B ooks, in giving" the milage of the principal rivers wltich pour their treas ures into New-Orleans, does not state 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 nal improvement shall be carried into operation, not only New-Orleans and the great valley 'i the Mifrilrippt will be benefit ted, but every portion of the United Staies will feel the invigorating influence of such a course.” National Intelligencer. Black Hawk has declared himself a can didate for the Presidency ! And really we are not surprised that he should imagine him self with some pretensions to the office, when he looks to the recommendations of the pre sent incumbent, and the equally flattering demonstrations of respect which were shown him hy some of the northern cities. Black Ilawk, 100, like General Jackson, is a warrior, and has gained his victories over both In dians and white men, and he is unquestiona bly quite as much a savage as the Geneml in implacable hatred, though, perhaps, infe rior to him in the unscrupulous and unmanly modes of warfare to which he resorts to sup plant a rivil or destroy an enemy. To make out the parallel, Blaek Hawk has his MtT — his son Toininvhauk—who may he run for the Vice-Presidency. —Abbeville From tbs N. Y. Journal of ommsrcc. 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 that the Emperor is represented in his famous redingote, and his no less famous cocked-hat.

These facts are men tioned as illustrating “ the military enterprise oftlie two great nations of the old world ; but they teach a much more important lesson.

In the September No. of the American Turf Register, among various items of sporting intelligence, we find the following challenge, addressed to the North: “Tho editors of the American Turf Register and Sporting Magazine have been requested to announce on responsible au thority, that the South will match a three year old against any three year old to be found in the North, taking the Potomac as the line of demarcation ; to run a match over Central Cora**, agreeably to the rules of the Maryland Jockey Club, on the Monday preceding the first day of Octo ber meeting, which will commence on Tuesday the 15th.
