From the Baltimore Patriot.
The following curious Lcgogriph, will anjuse, and no
doubt puzzle your numerous readers. It is from the
pen of one of our ftie't distinguished scholars, the late
inestimable Dr. De Butts, of the Maryland University;
who on his sick bed, whiled thus away a tedious half
hour. 1 opine it will take as many days, as there were
minutes, to discover the secret word. H.
LOGOGRIFH.
Through all the world, my brilliant fame has spread,
Whole nations read, the useful life 1 led.
From slavery's bonds I set the captive free.
And tyrants trembled when they thought on me.
Mars and Minerva all their powers combined.
To form for freedom’s cause my youthful mind.
Although long since I’ve mouldered in the tomb,
Yet still I’m seen, in many a splendid room.
You meet me often in the crowded street;
Sometimes I’m off, and sometimes on my feet.
You often see me quite a well-dressed beau.
And sometime®, as a youth, that’s but so-so—
A squalling child, that oft in nurse® arms,
With infant’s screams, excite mamas' alarms.
You also see me with a busy throng,
A city large, with streets both wide and long;
Sometimes a town with little quiet village.
Where live the harmless, peaceful sons of tlliage.
No matter where I'm found, the Patriot’s mind
Dwells on my actions for the human kind ;
My name will last, while earth is turning round,
And manythingß in that great name be found.
Now searen them out, and tell me who I am,
’Twould puzzle a student on the banks of Cam.
That name contains a small but stinging fly.
And what friends do, when all have bid good bye.
It has the boast of modern chemic ar',
And what the lover breathes when sick at heart—
The name our fathers charged with witch’nes dire;
The highest point of character in fire.
What to a mind acu'e, is oft assurance,
And what from hornet’s tail is past endurance,
What men are called, when full of wit and fun;
What flies so swift from every fowler’s gun ;
What Milton not possessing, oft deplored;
What always tends to increase the miser's hoard—
The gamester’s object at both cards and dice;
What heat produces on both snow and ice;
What Molly takes to pick up coals of fire ;
What’s often seen enjoying mud and mire.
The man who once was called the King of Bath ;
• A word we often use quite close to lath.
It has w hat belles and beaux all like to be.
And what all little children like to see.
It has the bird, that on the tranquil stream
Spreads his white plumes to ca'ch the solar beam
It has what swings near every tavern door,
And who you often meet on tavern floor—
Has what the toper always likes to do.
And what all sober people call him too.
What cuts in many parts the useful wood,
And what on rocky cliffs has often stood;
What covers cardinals and common men;
The number which is just the fith of ten.
What the proud eagle spreads in lofty flight.
What's most delightful round the fire at night.
What French invaders found on Russian plains,
What often steals sobriety from brains.
The « ord that oft precedes both rag and bobtail,
And what the hammer does to many a hob-nap.
The place where “ droughty neebor neebor meets
What lovers oft have done on rustic seats.
What to the portrait painter we must do,
To give him of our heads a proper view.
The thing which changes common skin to leather;
What strengthens masts and sails for stormy weather.
What bears the beauteous, healthy blossom red.
The time when ail good folks retire to bed.
The word which sometimes signifies conttmpt;
And one we use when negative is meant;
The word, though short, w hich all true lovers dread,
The thing which covers many a hairless head.
How sweet Ophelia look'd when noire to save,
Her last sad warblings floated down the wave.
It has w hat dissipation oft has brought;
And what we see on many a coflee pot;
What Fhilomel is heard to do at night;
When through the grove, the moon is shining bright.
What we must do if we would wish to reap ;
W’hat rakes are doing while you’re all asleep.
It has the cause of man's unhappy fall.
An in'erection often made bv all,
The part of 1 cef that gives the poor man soup ;
The wood that gives a touch and lasting hoop.
What trots u® gaily o’er the stony r ind.
And sometimes pulls along a ponderous I ad.
It has the purpose for uhi< h Molly Mop
Makes such a fuss, with water, tubs and soap.
It has a wmrd that raises many a s gh.
And always is applied to things gone by.
It has what persecuting Paul became.
When preaching, heedless of all Jewish blame.
The word that oft implies interrogation.
And stands desirous of some information.
The place whence came the giant Philis'ine
Whom David slew, with stone and slender lit,e.
The word that disappointment often brings;
At coronation®, w’hat thev do to kings.
It lias the man who fortified by grace ;
Saved from the flood a remnant of his race.
The place whose gate let out 'he widow's dead ;
But when, at heaven's command her sorrows fled.
It has the antlered game, of hunter’s story;
It has what I have raised to power and glory.
What seamen do, w-hen putting in a cargo,
And what they do when under an embargo.
A sacred thing which binds the will of man;
What horses like to see in trough or can.
What every woman likes when smart and new ;
A constellation often bright to view.
What gathers through the summer, winter’s store:
A game that calls for players number four.
W’hat little misses often like to wear;
On Mississippi oft your cause of care.
What sinful rage compels the teeth to do, »
The first word of an earnest question—who 1
What Hamlet saw scene 4th and act the first;
What we all cry when we have heard the worst.
An opera which gained full approbation ;
What Charles Fox became to save the nation.
And though my name has just of letters ten,
’Twill furnish you with »ow, but not with—then :
And though ’twill give you sat, and hat and gnat.
And fully give you this, refuses that.
»*•****•
Now while the muse, in all her pride was flaunting.
If I forgot a word, why then ’tis—wanting.
Os words, I thought I gave an ample stuffing,
And yet another came, but that is—nothing.
MILITARY TITLES.
We arc glad to see that attention is attracted
to the impropriety, not to say the absurdity, of
the conslant application of Military titles to the
officers of our Militia. Not ambitious of the
reputation of a Reformer, or the honors es •»
Martyr, we shall always continue to use these,
noms de guerre not only where a regard to
propriety demands—as in speaking of officers
upon actual service—but in all instances in
which, as they form the only claim of the indi
viduals who bear them to distinction, the neg
lect of them would be offensive.

ORIGINAL.
STAGE-COACH RECOLLECTIONS.
NO. VII.
Niagara Falls, August, 1833.
To the Editor of the Southern Post:
Dt»R Sir—Wa'ering places have not hitherto offered
many charms for me, hence the few days I spent at
Saratoga, before leaving for this place, present no very
vivid sernesin th«®e recollections, and but for the greet
ings of some dear friend, and the ever p'easant privilege
of accompanying two in'ere®ting and lovely girls, from
our own sunny clime, in their morning waks »o the
fountain, and occasionally to view the scenery around,
1 should have left without regret.
To one, however, who can view these scenes with
the calmness of an acute observer, deeply read in the
human heart, much may be learnt, there is no want of
subjects of every grade of mind and every diversity of
character. Here the great drama of human life opens
with all its scenes and dramatis persona. The grave,
the gav, the repub’ican. the aristocratical. 'he statesman,
the demagogue, the eoeknev, the dand v, the bewiskered,
the mustachioed, and any other variety of biped which
belongs to our race, are found occasionally congrega
ted around the fountain, sipping its spirkb’ng and
healthful water®. B-ight smi'es too, ad lovely faces
are there, the mild b’tie-evrd maidens of New England,
and the dark, but brilliant laughing < rbs of cur run
South, ming'e together in harmonious concert, firming
a lievv of intellectual beauty and virtuous lo< elines®.
no' excelled by the proud or the titled, who, occasionally
reach here, from the ariswra'ic circles of Europe; and
while they for a the m ist va ue l attraction of onr
happy h ime®, they redeem the character of'hose circles
from the pretension and puppvrfn. two often f mnd
usurping the place of that manly and. generous pride
which should distinguish our®ex.
Except the Fonn’ai sand the company, there are but
few objects to attract visitors to Saratogjl. Asa natural
curiosity, however, what is called the High Rock
Spring is deserving of a casual notice, the form of the
rock is comical, rising five or six fee above the ground,
witli a round aperture at the top, opening to the ever
bubbling fountain, the surface of which is now' about
two feet from the highest point of the aperture, 'here
seems to be no doubt hut that the rock was formed by
the waters, of the geological character of which it par
takes, though no very sensible alteration has been dis
covered in its appearance since first known to thew hite®.
It is said that the wafers formerly flowed freely over the
top, and that a large tree w hich was once fallen across
the side of the cove split the rock ; by which the wa
ters and gnss (bund a place oi escape below the surface
and has never risen since, though the fracture has now
almost disappeared; hence it is easy to account for their
having been no recent change in the rx'ernal forma
tion, that the waters po sess in a high degree the quali
ties of incrustation, may be seen by examination of die
instrument ill daih use for dipping (lie wa er, in which'
scales of ihp same substance are constancy t inning.
Near the Congress Spring, a simple but quite ingeni
ous contrivance has been some years in operation to
give healthful exi rcise to visitors; itconsisrsof a circular
rail way, I would think probably two hundred feet iti
diameter, on w hich run cars, propelled by the riders by
means of a double crank, the operation of which gi-.es
expansion to 'he chest, as well ns healthful cxerci®e to,
the limbs ; t ere are some gardens also in the vicinity
neatly sited up for recreation.
Leaving tiie springs with all their scenes ofgoeity,
dissipation and folly behind us, we took our westward
journey toward this place, making short stops a Utica,
Auburn and Rochester. The route from Luckp rt to
the Fa.ls is now passed by Rail Ro id through the
Tuscarora r> servation, several hundred of whom live
immediately on and near the vicinity of the road ; they
have small but well cultivated farms, a neat little church,
in the congregation of which, it is s.iiJ there is between
fi’ty and an hundred communicants. Though now but
a handful, in a state of semi-civilization, they were once
a considerable tribe whoeavgrated from North Caroli
na andjoined the powerful confederacy of thefive, after
wards the Six Nations of the Northwest Their females
of whom there arc frequently many seen about the vil
lage,are very c!ecent& cleanly in their appearance;dress
in the Indian costume :n robe®, usually of blue broad
cloth very fanciful}’, and sometimes tastily wrought w ith
various col jure J beads. They offer for rale to visitants
some beautiful specimens of bead-work wrought on
deer stein, such a rnocasins, purses, work pockets, &,c.
Though they have long lived in the immediate vicinity
of, and surrounded by the whites, but few that I saw
spake the English language.
The roaring of the Falls of the mighty waters is so
< (fi dually overpowered by the rumbling jarr of the cars,
that you have noevidenc® of your near approach until
the majestic and unrivalled sublimity of the Horse-shoe,
or crescent fall with its overhanging clouds of liquid
crystals, bursts immediately before yon at a point of the
road about a mile and a half distant. This is probably the
best spit for a distant view tube found, being on an
open bank within a few steps of the high precipitous
cliff on ihe American side.
As I have never read any description, have never
seen any drawing, picture, or engraving from w hicb any
correct idea can be formed of t is most beautiful, sub
lime, aid stupendous, of nature 's works, niy humble
pen may not venture where the ablest have failed, I
may, however, with your leave, after having traced
some of the interesting spots in the vicinity, venture
again upon the indulgence ol your readers. - X

JkT'The absence of the Edit, r, the greater part of

as an apology for the meagre appearance of our Edi

Our friends, in the city, who Jo not receive their pa

unable to furnish them as we have hitherto done.

LATEST FROM FLORIDA.
THBRIBLF. SITIPVYUECKS AND INDIAN -MASSACRES!
By the U. S. Revenue Cutler Madison,
Cdjjtain Howard, which arrived just as the
impression of this day’s paper was completed,
we lien r of a mote extensive loss of life and
property, than was ever before effected ill a
single hurricare upon the !Sout..ern cost.
Between thirty and forty vessels are said to
have been lost upon the Bahama Banks o:i the
7th ofScpternber, and the hurricane is repre
sented to have been more terrific than was
ever before known in those latiti des. No
panicle of canvass could withstand the force
of the gale and the survivors represent that the
bare masts and spars were blown out of staunch
and new vessels. Anti beside the extraordi
nary horrors of shipwreck upon a desert shoe,
many of the numerous survivors of the wrecks
upon the Florida coast, aftertheir escape from
the horrible battle of the elements, only reach
cd the land to meet a more frightful death in
massacre by the Indians of Cape Florida.
We give th* following, which are all the few
particulars of the wrecks, that we have aa yet
ascertained.
The sh p Kentucky, New Yoik and New*
Orleans packet, was lost on Guru Kev, Baha
mas—a total wreck—but passengers and crew
all saved.
The herm. brig Victory, Dunham. mn c tcr.
was also lost on Gun Key—a total loss of
vessel and cargo. Crew and passengers saved.
We have the following from the South Flori
dian of the 15th ult.
Tiie French brig Gottrierdc Tampico, Jule
Julian from Havana, bound to Bordeaux, with
a cargo of Sugar, Segars, Arc. was driven
ashore on the night of the 7th, about twelve
miles north of Cape Florida light—only seven
out of sixteen r 0 ds saved : brig and cargo to
tally lost—the survivors rescued from the de
vouring ocean were soon visited by a large
pa.”tv of armed Indians, who spared their lives
heenusd were Frenchmen, saying, that
t!te onlv kil’ci Americans. The Captain and
the six other survivors were taken from t e
beach after the gale was over, by a smack
from the North, bound to tins place.
The brig Aina, T mnas, of Portland, Me.
from St. Jago. went ashore about the same
time and near the same place. Everyman on
to trd, except one, a Dutchman, was massacred
ly the Indians. lit was spared : t the time
of tiie general slaughter and subsequently hid
himself in the hold ol the hug. During all o ;e
day and night the Indians kept up a horrible
pout-wow aboard t'ebrig; they were about
fi.tv itt number. Tie next day the Indians
left the brig for a short time, when the poor
man cue it out from his hiding place, discover
eJ and hailed the wrecking sloops America
and Mount Vernon, and by them was taken
oIF. the Indians again appearing in sight after
he had left the brig. Tiie Indians Will wreck
the brig.
[We arc happy to he able to slater there are j
two more survivors of the wrec k of the Alua,
woo are now oi board the Madison at this
port, v.z : Eleiznr Wyer and Samuel Cam.
me:t, hot i of Portland. Wyer was shot
through the thigh and band, hut has nearly
recovered.]
T .e brig Export, and a ship, went ashore
at t .e same time, nearly oIF Caesar’s Creek.
T -e m ister and crew ofti.e brig have arrived
at tiiis place in the wrecking sloop Globe.
T..e sloop Globe and smack Splendid have i
saved about three hundred boxes of sugar ft om j
the brig.
Tie sloops Alabama, Dead and Caution, j
of Mystic, bound to tiiis port drove ashore j
and lost in the same gale. T. e only survivor
yet ascertained is Joseph Noble. They went
ashore near the French Brig Courier. Noble
escaped from tire Indians and joined the French
crew. When the Indians came up with tiie
Fieuch crew lie passed himself off as ore of 1
their number, and thus saved his life.
The sehoo; ie Caroline, of Key West lying
ut anchor, at Cffiz ir’s Creek, during the gale :
drove from her moorings out on the rcef.sti lick j
and sunk. Master and crew all last.
Toe scltoo ;c‘r Caledonia, , from Ha- !
vana, bound to New-Orleatts. with a cargo of
sugar, coffee and segars, was totally lost on |
the Co.oradocs, on or about the Bth Sept. Fate j
of the crew unknown.
'File Revenue Cutter Campbell, and tiie
United States Schooner Wave, then lying in j
our harbor, immediately upon hearing of the j
disastrous intelligence above given, got under I
way and proceeded for the Cape. It is to be
hope I, if there should be any wandering sur- i
vivors left they may speedily be icstored to
their friends.
Tiie boats of the U. S. schrs. Madison,
Wave and Campbell, examined the Keys in
the vicinity of toe Cape, in tiie ho|>c of rescu
ng survivor , but we regret to say that, with
the above exception oft he two survivors of the
Aina, none are known to he saved. Tiie j
boats of the Wave and Camplx il attacked a !
party of fifteen Indians, who weie plu tdering 1
the French brig, but succeeded in killing but
four of their number.
The Madison brigs lie further intelligence
of the loss of the schr. Forrest ofLubec, loa
ded witli live oak. She struck on the reef ü
bout 18th ult., one day out of Key West, and
sunk. Tne crew and passengers returned to
Key West in her boats.
Tiie works left by the troops at Key Bis
cayne, were burnt by the Indians about the
last of August. Tne Government Hospitals
•nd Barracks on Cape Sable have also been
burnt.
Tiie Madison is now on her way from Pen. i
sacola to her station -it Portsmouth, N. H.—
Officers and crew all well.
