Extract of a letter from one of our

*‘ Millrdgeville, Dec. 12, 1828.
The only matter of very general im
portance which has come before us, for
the last two clays, i? a report j :st made to
the House ot Representatives, by the
committee on our Cherokee affiirs—they
report a variety of matteis and facts con
nected with this sut ject, going to shew
that Georgia has a just claim under exist
ing treaties, to a portion of country, at
present occupied bv the (herokees, suffi
ci nt to make five <,r six new counties.
There appears a general disposition to
adjourn on the 20lh inst. but some still
doubt whether w** shall get off before the
evening of the 24th.”

SALT SECRET DISCOVERED.
It has been a great mystery with
many merchants of this city, to ac
count for the difference of juices a
mong those who retail salt, when it is
known that two, three, or four mer
chants may buy at the same wholesale
price, and yet undersell each other,
and make money.
We have been at considerable
trouble to ascertain the secret, w hich
turns out to be a difference in the half
bushel measures used in the various
salt stores in town, which we find in
many cases, to vary from a gill to two
quarts from the lawful standard.
Thus, while one merchant, for in
stance, may offer salt to a country
man at one dollar per bushel, whose
! measures are agreeable to t stand
ard, another will Si ii .it ci ‘h y seven
iSc a half cents, \ i muhe money honestly
if he can , —but uiuke it' —while Uio
buyer, at the same time, does not re
ceive so much salt, by twenty or
twenty five < cuts in the bushel, as be
would havedone of those who sell at
one dollar, by sealed measures, agree
able to the standard.
Salt bring sih It an inijortant lead
ing article in the commerce and trauo
of the city, we think it .proper to di
vulge this *se< ret discovered,’fot* the
consideration of the ‘Honorable the
City Council, with (lie m w to a
remedy of the evil, by ad pting a
rigorous system of insptotug the
measures monthly, at least from Oc
tober till June, during the business
season of the y ear, and removing all
those that may be. found unlawf.l out
of the market. At the same time we,
would suggest to the country p uple,
and other buyers of salt, at ret, il,
that it might be well for them to ex
amine for themselves b fore b.ymg,
and if they find them branded mi tin*
bottom with the broad letter A. (Au
gusta seal) they will be likely to g< t
the quantity of salt they have a riglii
to expert fi r their money , unless tin
measures, after being s-al*d, have
been shared down from the ti>p, or false
bottoms fixed upon the insiuC.
SHOP DING.
An American in England went to heir
the celebrated Rowland Hill preach, and
heard him tell the following story in me ,
pulpit.
S|)eaking of Patience , he said he
would tell us a story. ‘I once went
into a shop where there was a clerk, a
very pious young man, and while I
was there, lie was obliged to haul
down goodß in piles from the shelves,
and spread them out, ami then lay
them away again, and pull do an
more; and all for nothing in the
wrold, but to gratify the curiosity
ami caprice of a parcel of idle gossip
ping customers, who did’nt want to j
buy any thing—But I must tell you
by the way, that the practice is very j
rude and uncivil. Some people don’t
cure how much troubled they give.
They’ll go into a shop, and have piece
after piece taken down and unrolled
—when they don’t want to buy a far
thin’g worth,
very rude and vexatious—l’d have
you learn good manners. Well, see
ing how much unnecessary trouble the
young man was put to, I said to him, I
these people make you a great deal of
labor—you must find it very vexa
tious to wait on such unreasonable
folks. O tin, lie said, it does me good:
it teaches me the grace of patience.* 9
Lidies who are food of g ing a
shopping , may as well, perhaps, read
over tiie good jireachet’s sermon on
patience a second time.
CHESJYUT BARK.
The bark of tiie cliesiiut tree con
tains twice as much tanning matter
as oak bark, and nearly twice as
much coloring matter as logwood.
‘File coloring substance of chesnut
bark is to that of Campeachy logwood
exactly as 1,857 to I.—Leather |re
■ pared with this substance is more firm
and solid, and yet more siijiple. This
b irk is the best substance for making
ink; mixed with iron it becomes a
blue black. The liquor drawn from
tins bark apjiears blue at the outside
like indigo, but gives on jiaper the
finest black. In dying it has a grea
ter affinity for wool than sumach and
gall nuts. The color obtained from
this substance is unchangeable by air
and liglt.
