A recent discovery is said to
have been made, that Oil extracted
f r om cotton seed will answer far
painting, that it is found even supe
rior to linseed oil lor this purpose.
The machinery necessary for pick-,
ir.g the cotton, it is seated, may be
easily converted to the purpose of
making the oil. A patent has been
granted to Mr. George P. Degges,
for securing the advantages result
ing from this discovery, anti we
hope our planters may eventually
find in the value of their cotton seed
some little set off lot the low price
of cotton itself. Augusta Chr.

A'/ i/o.v 3acxi)a ir, to his worthy friends
the ('f.nsohs — an Epistle.
When l read your last communica
tion, 1 must confess I felt something
accusing you ol ingratitude. Hut up
on proper consideration, I was led to
a conclusion which “jumps” entirely
in your la von The reason of your
reply being other than a simple’ thank
ye,’ l lay to the charge of your un
common foresight and prudence, and
(perhaps,) the influence of a slight tit
ol modesty. \\ lien one receives a
distinguished notice from a stranger,
and the supposed reason of that no
tice being nothing more than promis
ing talents, or some great act of be
nevolence rendered to the world in
common, —it is a commendable piece
ot prudence to hold such friend at a
distance until lie lias proved the sin
cerity of iiis professions.—For this
reason, I suppose, you liavegiven me a
gentle and necessary check in my
warm endeavours to serve you. 1 have
also considered that great reformers
have ever had many enemies—partic
ularly if their objects were important
as yours, and success as certain—and j
those most to he feared have introdu-,
ced themselves as friends. You have I
not only show n your prudence, bui;
such sound argument and delicate in
vective as calling one a ‘ fool,’ an ‘ ass,”
,a ‘ numskuli/ &t. clearly prove yourj
superior powers of reasoning, as well i
as the lofty tone of your genius. Al
though your sharp \yit, keen satire,and
deep discernment in criticism, have
been called forth in part at my ex
pense, yet it lias insured my admira
tion of them forever.
Having given you mv r opinion of
your inerjts, and an assurance of my
admiration, 1 should here stop, were it
not a duty imposed by friendship to
apprise you of the attempts of jealous
enemies to injure your fame. In the
discharge of this duty, I must in
lorui jou that there are now certain
enviousaud malicious slanderers,bold
ly making themselves merry with your
spontaneous, admirable f well-meant,
lauaable, edifying , excellent arid for
tunate productions. It may he that
your exposition of my error causes
them to he a iittle critic- a!, as they
repeated a musty proverb about ‘ glass
houses,’ of which, probably, you have
some knowledge, they are particu
larly audacious in meddling with the
following parts of your third number.
Mr. Editor —YVe are reluctantly
drawn into a wordy contest with some
of our sapient neighbours, Critic &
Co myany, Simon Jackdaw, and (we
suppose) a whole gang of crows and
buzzards against our little company.”
Now, say they, it is well enough to
‘suppose’a great many enemies by
way of giving one’s self importance,
—but think you will be in no danger
from any of them so long as any pity
or even saving -contempt remuins iu
the world. In addition to the sen
tence being a little sappy-e ut they say,
it is sadly overloaded ; and believe it}
would get stalled, if the passage of it
tUrouch Mr. Murray’s book were tube
attempted.
“ They are no doubt personages of!
great reading and profound research,
who have perused the productions ot
other men, that they have acquired a
most admirable style.” You were not
accused of having ‘ acquired’ the
‘ style’ of this sentence. They be
lieved it to be purely original, hut
seemed to doubt its being ‘ most ad
mirable.’
One sentence they construed thus:
“At the commencement ol Simon
Jackdaw's epistle we were within one
degree of absolute frigidity on read
ing die chilly sentiments oi a Simon
Jack dan- but before Simon Jackbaw
ends Simon Jackdaw makes ample
amends,” See. In connection with
this, they they think your declaration
ought to be remembered, —that, “ vic
tory over a man who does not under
stand the language he speaks could do
us no honor.”
“ For which reason we suppose,
‘upon due consideration, Iriend Si
mon has to blazon tortli
his own talents,anil endeavour to rear
on the discomfiture ot others his own
visionary fabric ot literary tame.
From tliis, they say, it appears that
Simon is attempting to erect a vision
ary fabric—that they have heard of
schemes proving visionary, but it is
new that one should attempt to build
so ufisubstantial an object us a vision
ary fabric.
Upon a grammatical point, they sav
vou have taken up Simon Jackdaw and
put him down; whereby lie “ stands
corrected.’’-—Hut they do not entirely
comprehend the exclamation,(oi doub
le-headed shot as they think it should
termed,) with which you wind up your
mighty triumph over him. They do
not know what Mr. Murray would say
to the improvement they propose lor
it, which is to precede as well as lid
low it with a mai K ol tu.mii at ion, -
thus “ ! Most preposterous indeed !”
It was somew hat surprising to them
that I should be so roughly handled,
I while mV fellow -admirers ol your lu
cubrations’ Critic iv Cos. were passed
by with no farther notice than a forc
ed up ‘ thank ye,’ and a piece of .stale
advice. I think they have attributed
this partiality to its true cause : that
is— That 1 am nut a favorite of the
Muses.—But they think it inconsistent
in you to pay such deference to the
heavenly sisters, considering the earth
ly ones were so sadly tousled iu your
lirst and second numbers.
With regard to the adaptation of
vour subject to our latitude, they ap
peared to have some doubts : They
even said our Christian ‘ philanthro
pists’ would act as knowingly in send
ing missionaries to floating ice-islands,
as you to write about dandies in the
l piny woods of Georgia.
| 1 will not trouble you by relating
| their “ impertinent observations,” fur
| tlier than to say, that one, more vvick
; cd than the rest, went so far us to sup
pose you in your “sallad days” and
j “ green in judgment”—and that yon
I write with a soft gvslin quill.
Now, worthy friends, a few words
l for myself, and I will take mv leave.
A man, armed with ms good inten
tions, is safer than the soldier “ lock’d
up iu steel.” Go on, although slander
do its worst. Public opinion will fa
vor you, knowing your writings to
he spontaneous —it neither expects to
find every mushroom well-shaped ; or
other production perfect that springs
of itself. Your influence over the
minds of the ladies cannot he doubted
so long as your comparisons are forci
ble anil apt. Who among them, that
has read your first number, can be so
dull of comprehension, as not he able
to associate the idea of herself and
an “ apple dumpling?” So laudable
an undertaking as correcting them in
their manners and fashions, must in
sure you the sunshine of their smiles.
But while I anticipate your success, 1
must express my deep regret, that mv
epistle has drawn you aside, (although,
hut for a single week,) from your her
culean task. How much good you
might have done, in that time by un
loosing lacings, recommending steel
corsets, and correcting tortured shapes,
is beyond my powers of calculation.
Considering you hound for the Tem
ple of Fame, (which is a loftier perch
than a Jackdaw ever aspired to,) and
above the reach of compliment l shall
hereafter desist from my ‘ impertinent
observations.’
Singular Occurrence. —On the
evening of the 7th inst. about nine
o’clock, during the thunder-storm,
(in which for some minutes hail
stones rattled against the windows)
the sloop Macdonough, Barker ly
ing at Doyley’s wharf, at the north
end of the Battery was struck by
the lightning, and injured in a man
ner we* have seldom or never be
fore witnessed. The electric fluid
struck and shivered the top-mast,
from which it descended by the
mast and rigging, with slight but
unequivocal marks of its track, in
to the hold, from whence, to all ap
pearances, it returned up the mast,
splitting and shivering off pieces of
the spar passing off through the
mast-head into the air again —a por
tion of it leaving traces of its flying
off below on the bow-sprit and jib
boom, and some of it taking a di
rection through the cabin and out
of a window near the captain, who
was thrown out of his birth by the
shock. Singular as it may appear,
no other person on board fall the
stroke ; and the vessel and rigging,
excepting the loss of the mast suf
fered no material injury.

The Main Chance. —On Monday
a vessel entered our harbor, whose
arrival was a greater cause of con
gratulation than that of any vessel
before her. She was not from Liv
erpool nor from London ; neither
was she from the West or the East
Indies—nor had she a very ccnly
cargo. Not to keep the reader in
suspense,—she was not even from
sea ; nor, in truth was she from up
the bay, or from any of the great ri
vers in our neighbourhood. To
come to the point, we refer to tfto
arrival of the sclir. Rebecca Ed
wards, Capt. Burgess, from Hali
fax, N. C. through Albemarle

nal, with a cargo consisting of fifty
nine bales ot cotton, forty-nine bar

Mr. Adame's donation to the town
of —We have seen a pam
phlet containing the deeds of gift
from the Hon. John Adams of seve
ral pieces of land, and of his libra
ry. The first deed begins in the
following terms. “ Know all men
by these presents, that I, John Ad
ams of Quincy, in the county of
Norfolk, Esquire, in consideration
of the veneration I feel for the resi
dence of my ancestors and the place
of my nativity and ol the habitual
affection l bear to the inhabitants,
with whom I have so happily lived
for more than eighty-six years ; and
of my sincere desire to promote
their happiness, and the instruc
tion of their posterity in religion,
morality and all usefularts and sci
ences, by contributing all in my
power for these purposes, do here
by give, grant, &c.” The instru
ment then proceeds to describe two
lots of land, called the Cedar Pas
ture and Mount Ararat pasture, and
to convey them to the town ol Quin
cy upon certain conditions, the
most material of which is in the
following words: “ That the rent
of the herbage of these pastures,
together with the profits arising
from the sale of wood, luel of any
kind, timber and stone, be strictly
applied to the following purposes,
viz: To be placed at interest in
some solid fund either of the Com
monwealth or of the United States,
and the interest again placed at in
terest as it arises, until the amount
shall be sufficient with what the
town may grant other individuals
subscribe, or the probable sale of
pews produce, to raise a fund lor
the completing and furnishing of a
Temple to be built of stone, to lie
taken from the premises, lor the
public worship of God, and the pub
lic instruction in religion and mo
rality, for the use of the Congrega
tional Society in that town; and
next after the completion ot said
temple, that all the future rents,
profits and emoluments arising Irom
said land, be applied to the support
of a school for the teaching of the
Greek and Latin Languages, and
any other languages, arts and sci
ences, which a majority ol the min
isters, magistrates, lawyers and
physicians inhabiting in the said
town may advise.” I his deed was
executed June 25, 1822, and the
grant was accepted by vote ol the
town with the restrictions and con
ditions on the Bth of July, and a
vote of thanks passed.
The second deed, executed on
the 25th of July, 1822, conveys six
lots of land described therein, on
the same conditions named iu the
first deed, with others, one of which
is in the following words : “ Pro
vided, that when the objects men
tioned in the former deed, are ob
tained, a stone school house shall,
be erected over die cellar which;
was under the house anciently
built by the Rev. Mr. John Han
cock, the father of John Hancock,
the great, generous, disinterested,
bountiful benefactor ol his country,
once President of Congress, and
afterwards Governor ol this state.

The resolution laid before the
parliament of Lower Canada, rela

try and this, is of a singular char
acter. It complains of an act of
the British parliament as ‘ highly
detrimental’ to their interests, and
for remedy thereof, proposes an
application to the President of the
United States, praying that he will
take such measures, ‘ for the main
tenance of the interests and vindi*-
cation of the rights’ of the people
of Canada , ‘as he may deem most
proper. This may be regarded in
the nature of tin appeal fiom the
mother country to the United
States, and goes so far as to pro
pose, that if Great Britain will not,
by negotiation, remove the cause of
dissatisfaction, that our Congress
shall adopt ‘ measures of retalia
tion.’—Philadelphia D. Press.
