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.

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. MARRIED. O i Thursday evening last, by Duniel Dennis Esq.
