MUTABILITY OF EARTHLY JOYS.

STEAM BOATS.
Anew scheme has been started in Haiti
more, denominated a “Wonderful discovery
lin Mechanics,' or the “ Wonderful Lever,"
| which is intended to supersede steam, and to
1 move a boat by tlie mere clHc.iency of anew
! Lever.—A correspondent of the Baltimore
j American gives the following account of it 1 —
| Our readers must judge lor themselves of its
feasibility.
“ This lever, or to speak itwrc correctly,
the two watch barrel screw leve rs placed in
a wheel with water buckets, presents really
to the eye ol the scientific observer one of the
most sublime discoveries, power and velocity
united, that ever excited the wonder of man,
combining the utmost simplicity with other
excellencies, and owing nothing to gas, com
pression of the OUT, or steam, the power of
which it infinitely surpasses.
It consists ol two very broad and flat watch
barrels three quarter diameter of the paddle
wheel with a round hole on the middle with
a short tick pipe, and another small pipe on
1 the centre through which the shaft passes,
both pipes are loose, but fixed together by a
a piece inside and between them at one point
only ; both pipes are placed in the hole of the
barrel, the small one will be fixed by its base
to the water paddle wheel; a circular piece
in the tbrin ol a spiral with one or more turns,
without elasticity, called the screw lever, is
placed inside of the watch barrel, and fixed
by its end on the side of the largo pipe, and
the other outside crid is fixed on the border or
inside of the barrel ; one other screw lever
similar to the other is placed on the cover of
the watch barrel, attached by its outside end
to the border of the barrel ; ’the inside end
has a square hole in which the shaft of the
wheel is lodged.
Now without watch barrels, place the screw
lever with two or more turns like a spiral
without elasticity, tho centre end attached to
the large tick pipe above mentioned, and fix
the small pipe ny its bases to the water pad
die wheel, and let the shaft pass through free,
two self aeting fulcrum levers, one will he
tiexd by one end to the outside end of thcscrew
lever; the other long lever end is fixed by
its fulcrum to the edge of the paddle wheel’;
the two other cuds ol both levers advanced
in a central line to come in parallel of each
side of the centre of the wheel; a catching
piece with a square hole, and one pin on each
end will receive the round hole oi both ends
ol the two long levers, and the same for the
other side, this give s more than 200 feet of
lever to awheel of ”0 feet diameter. A large
and broad hoop about the diameter of the bar
rel above mentioned, supported by two tri
angular levers, the two shortest branches of
both levers are fixed on opposite sides of the
flat part ol the edge of the hoops in a cen
lial direction ol each, with a round hole at
the centre, where the siiatts passes through
without touching ; the long branches of the
i k v ‘ r are attached by their fulcrum to the
edge of the paddle wheel opposite each other,
and the hoop rests suspended; this hoop is
placed between the two watch barrels, or the
lever a spiral screw leva r, the whole appara
tus occupies loss than two feet of space in
the wheel.
i lie opinion ofthe best informed personsis
that this invention will, by its great advanta
ges and its great economy, prove a certain
and rapid growth in navigation, in fact a
vessel will cost three times less in building.
A vessel of any size can sail on the open seas
I °r in titers w ithout any other aid than this
I lever. One wheel placed within the vessel is
enough. A power sufficient to keep up the
motion ot the wheels is enough. The great
est power is in the wheel, and this force is
i equal to one hundred horsepower. A voy
age to Europe will he completed in 15 or 1R
days without any risk except that of coming
in contact w ita another vessel,rocks, or light
| ning, and can navigate in all seasons.

lightened labors and mechanical ingenuity of

Mr. Woslev, the venerable founder of the
I Methodist denomination, is universally allow
|ed to have been an extraordinary and highly
distinguish; 1 character. W hatever may be
thought of his peculiar sentiments, no one can
deny him the credit of truly apostolic zeal and
benevolence in what he conceived to be the
way of duty . For upwards of fifty years be
travelled eight thousand miles each year on
lan average, visiting his numerous societies,
j and presided at forty seven annual conferen
ces* For more than sixty years, it was his
; constant practice to rise at four o’clock in the
morning, and nearly the whole of that period
i fo preach at five. II;: generally preached
near twenty times a week, and frequently 4
times a day. Notwithstanding this, very
few have written more voluminously than he;
I divinity, both controversial and practical; his
tory, philosophy, medicine, politics, poetry,
& c * were all, at different times, the subjects
on which his pen was employed. Besides
this, he found time for reading, corresponding,
: v isiting the sick,and arranging therinatters of
i his numerous society; hut such prodigies of
labor and exertion would have been impossi
hie, had it not been tor his inflexible temper
ance and unexampled economy of time.
Yet, to suppose that he had iio failing or
that ho was free from faults would he absurd;
hut after viewing his sufferings, and the ex
treme of his success, with an unprejudiced
mind, it is impossible to deny him the char
acter of a singularly great and worthy man.
In 1701 he finished his career in the 88th
year of his age. In the course of which time
he preached near 40,000 sermons and travel

PLANTATIONS.
| On the general management of a. Plantation;
EV W . W. U.VZZASO.
“West Point, (Geo - ) 4th April, 1831-
I Dear Sir, —You request to know w'tat is
tny general system of management ! I en
deavour to employ those means in conduct
iugr the internal or domestic police of the
plantation, which in my judgement is deem
ed best calculated to promote the comfort and
Contentment, and suit the condition of the
subjects over whom they arc intended to ope
rate, and at the same time, secure subordina
tion and good order.
Those means should he assnr.sivc and just,
as Well as imperative and effective. To tho
end I rarely punish myself, but make my dri
ver, virtually! an executive ollicer, to "inflict
punishments; that I may remove from the
mind of the servant who commits a fault, the
unfavourable impression, too apt to be indul
ged in, that it is for the pleasure of punish
ing, rather than for the purpose of enforcing
obedience and establishing good order that
punishments are inflicted, as it is no picas
me to a humane judge to sentence a fellow
creature to he hanged, and at one fell swoop
plunge him into eternity.
To impress this more forcibly on their
minds, when they have urged as a pica, that
they are servants, and must submit to the w ill
lof their masters, who can do as they please:
I hatc addressed them m a mild and simple
: manner, assuring them that the laws of the land
have secured to them rights, which a master
dare not violate, without ineeurring the risk
ol a heavy penalty, “by imprisonment and la
bour iu the Penitentiary, for a term not less
j than one nor longer than five years,” and “it
; is the duty of the Inferior Courts of tho sever
: ulcounties iu Georgia, on receiving infirrtna
tion on oath ol any infnn slare being in a suf
fering situation from neglect of the loir r.ir, "to
! to make particular inquiry into the situation
|of such slave, and render such relief as they
in their discretion may think proper,” and
“they arc authorized to sue for and recover
from the owner the amount appropriated for
! <he relief of such shire.”
i ins protection which the benevolence of
our laws have thrown around their persons, to
save them in old age and infirmity from want
and wretchedness; the boasted philanthro-
Phyof Europe and the Northern States have
never extended to the poor,old, white man!!
1 have told them too, that a soldier for diso
bedience of orders may forfeit his life, while
they for a similar offence are only chastised :
because it is the interest of a master to [ire
serve the health, vigour and life of his ser-
I \ tint, u hicli produces amoral connexion and
i attachment betwixt master and servant, that
treak, violence or misrule seldom severs.
| W hen any quarrel or disturbance occurs on
| the plantation, one or two not implicated are
examined in the presence of the accused, who
have the right to correct false statements,
and establish their innocence, by reference to
other testimony, which is immediately pro
'bleed by the driver, or if absent, and the
case an important one, judgement is arrested
until the necessary information can be pro
cured.
I never permit a husband to abuse, strike
or whip his wife, anil tell them it is disgrace
ful for a man to raise It is hand in violence
against a feeble woman, and that woman too,
the wife of his bosom, the mother of his chib
dren, and the companion of his leisure, his
midnight hours. If the wife tenses and ’pro
voltes him by her nightly clatter, or crabbed
deportment, and lie complains and establish
es the fact: she is punished, but it sometimes
happens that the husband petitions for her
pardon, which I make it a rule not to refuse,
ns it imposes a strong obligation on the wife
to use her tongue with Jess bitterness, and be
more conciliating j„ her behaviour.
II the driver suffers any irregularities on the
plantation, or careless work to be repeated in
the field with impunity, I reprimand him in
private, then publicly ; and tell him, that as
a religious man, as lie professes to be, lie
should recollect, that if he cannot be faith
ful to his earthly master who is at all times
near him, providing food and clothing for his
use anil comfort; that tho scriptures have de
clared, lie cannot be faithful to his heavenly
master whom he has never seen. If this
simple mode of reasoning, fails to excite his
pride, I then appeal to his passions, and
rouse his fears by moderate punishment.—
This being one of the rare instances, where
the master, or manager should inflict the
punishment, and not degrade tiie driver by
allowing a private to punish ; which will hum
ble a driver and postrate his authority, that
should he absolute.
If one negro steals from another, or from
me, the driver is required to take of the ma
rauder’s goods and chattels an equal quanti
ty, and restore the loss, or the thief is cer
tainly punished if ho cannot make restora
tion, or if fair promises are made, time is al
lowed for restoration. Drunkenness, if riot
ous, would be punished by lving i:i the
stocks all night and drinking a pint of warm
water. If a negro is sick a pint of corn is de
ducted from his allowance every day: be
cause if he is really sick tho nurso supplies
him with good gruel, he therefore, dot s not
require corn, and if he is merely shamming,
a reduction of rations, like stopping a sailor’s
grog, will induce him to be more active in the
performance of his duties.
The driver keeps an account of his sick
ness, and renders an account every Saturday
of the work done, an acre notches on a stick,
and in the same manner on his walking stick.
So that if any mistake or fraud is committed,
I immediately detect it; if his listing, bed
<dug, and planting accounts do not corres
pond.
He also keeps an account of the number of
calves nmrkeif, branded and altered; the
names, colours, and qualities of our hounds,;
and the cause of their death; the time wc
plant vegetables and how they produced, with
a list of flowers in the parterre.
Thus have I endeavoured to give you a
brief sketch of the internal police of the plan
tation. To encourage industry and increase
the comfort and contentment of these people,
I allow every one, a task iff ground', and a
half task for each child capable of working.
They have one Saturday to prepare, and an
other to plant their ground, and aft. rtvards
are assisted with a mule and plough, when it
can be spared. They manage it their own
way, and the entire produce is appropriati and
to their purposes hot subject to my control,
and raise with it as many poultry as they
please. I give to families having six chil
dren living, one cow, with the male issue;
reserving the heifi r calves. When the fam
ily increases to ten children living, I require
no other labour from the mother that to attend
to her children.
Whenever they are sick a careful nun
comes in the morning, reports their case, gets
the necessary medicine and administers it, or
the patient is personally examined.
W till regard to tho agricultural depart
ment, if we do not intend to clear land, as
soon as the crop is laid by, and all the corn
blades stripped, dried and housed, we com
mence listing (in August) at the rate of from
one and a hall to tw o tasks to each full ham!
(able bodied man or woman.) As soon as the
listing is completed we clean out old ditches,
dig Others, and repair the fencing, if a late
crop delays cotton picking. \\ hen the crop
is gathered and prepared for market, w e com
mence bedding, by running two fttrrottglis
directly through the alley, so as to break it up
well, and then bed with the hod, at the rate of
lroni two to two and a halt tasks to each hand,
as the ground may be heavy or light.
Me first commence planting potatoes in
large flat beds without cutting them; then
early peas, (which are now up,) corn, and
lastly cotton, in all just five acres to each
taskalde hand, that is every negro capable of
working over two tasks of "ground generally
in a day, and sometimes they have a part of
a day, having finished their task. The corn
is planted three feet apart, and thinedto one
stalk ; we formerly planted on the list, but
find a good flat bed the best, os it. saves a
hoeing and elevates the plants above the
smothering weeds around it. The eolton is
planted on large, flat, wide beds at eighteen
inches or two feet distance, and thined down
to otic or two stalks as tho soil is loamy or
sandy.
On the third of April the whole crop was
planted ami the side hoeing commenced, as
we never hoe down if it can be avoided, consid
ering it ruinous to the crop.
Me are cruelly calumniated, and reproach
's with a keen point have been hurled at the
slave-holder, ever since the sanctity of law
bus checked the avidity of gain, and tho trades*
men in human flesh have become the snivel
ling philanthropist, mourning over the objects
of their traffic. But the condition of these
people in Fouth-Carolina and Geoxgia is in
finitely preferable, to the plebians of Rome,
and the canaille of France, tho Circassians of
Egypt, the Gil.len of Flanders, ami even the
peasantry of polished England, and not to he
compared with Asiatic and African w retched
ness. Here the slave is not required to pay a
burthensome tax ; lie cannot he forced into
hattie, or made to do militia or jury duty:
while the limvanc laws of England transports
the African from the land of his birth, the
homo of his children, to sacrifice their lives j
in the cause ot a king, they have never seen,
and in defence of a government they know
nothing about, and derive no benefit from:
where a law 1. ss press-gang can tear from the
bosom of a helpless family their onlv protect
or, their chief support, and drag a ploughman
from his plough, merely to-increase the w ar
like array of an ambitious monarch, or sh. and
the lustre of renown on some royal favourite;
dotard. Yet so strange is the inconsistency
ot mankind, that this system ot slav. rv unto <
death,has received-the halo of approbation.'
and the sanction of custom has reconciled all
generations to it, while we are vilified for*
improving the condition of these indispensa-!
ble auxiliaries to Southern agriculture.
Hoping that 1 have embraced and not ex-•'
cceded the object of your inquiry, or the pur-;
posts of the Agriculturalist, 1 am, Sir, with!
my best wishes for your success, f

that the conveniences and improvements which
have been added to ibis Establishment, in all
those matters which essentially concern the
health, comfort, and amusement ot its visitors,
will remit r it the ensuing season, more attractive
than ever, 'i’he private apartments will afford
ample retirement to invalids, families, and others
who prefer it. They are so arranged, as to com
bine every convenience and accommodation, suit
ed to the largest or smallest assembly, male and
female. Arrangements are also made, with the
particular design ol accomodating lanm families
by affording them large, spacious* cabins, near to
or remote as they may select from the centre build
ing, with double and single rooms, where they
can be at all times, perfectly secure iu tiie enjoy

The Subscriber pledges herself to devote her
chiet exertions to the accon todation of privatt
families, will spare no means to render visitors
happy and agreeable, by providing every thing
that may contribute to their health, by carefully

in its Springs and climate many advantages, and i
gives it ascendancy over all the Mineral’ Water

new Reformed Medical Institution has be, aV
ted in At orUungton, an in!, resting and IhmrivWr
town on the Whetstone llivcr, 8 miles north f

has been chose n because it presents the .m-atc •
advantages to facilitate the researches of the B;
tanical student; the country around It alwandii,!
tvuh every variety of medical plants yatul'tW
nation being the most healthy and dcligltlftf i,
tho W ester l 4 country—nud because tlio ocvwFSficy
of the large College Edifice, together with groun.l
of every variety of soil for an extensive botuiij&j
garden, has been presented to us by the board ot
trustees of Worthington College.
There will be attached to the institution, a Dk
poiisary far aualy/.ing and preparing Vegeta!)!-;
Medicines; and an Infirmary, where persons fmu
the neighborhood, or a distance laboring\md, t
fevers, consumptions, dkspepsa, liver complaints,
gravel, ulcers, fistulas, cancer;, 1 &c. &c. will be
successfully treated, without bleeding, mercury ■
the knife, and from which the student will acquire
a correct knowledge ot the nature, operation aa-l
superior efficacy of vegetable agents in rcuievir-r
disease.
The necessity for nn Institution of this u.] j, t
the west, to be under the direction of the compe
tent Professors is strikingly evident. It is ;.n in),,
tution that is designed to concentrate.and dissen

to the student and the sick that vegatubles alon;
afford the only rational, safe and effectual mean
of removing diseases without impairing the err
stitution, or endangering life or ljmb.° The pn
sent system of practice which treats diseases -f
every form w ith metalic mmesuls, the laticet 1 -
knife is dangerous as the lamentable fans
which every day presents too fuF.y illustrate. X :
is this truth more clearly exhibited ri's.n the tA:
j that vegetable substances alone, are v-ud of dav
ger, and powerfully efficient when adminsterdj
a reference to the success of our New Yirak i
firmary and the success of ignorant botaui&l
physicians, proves this fact.
The College and Infirmary will bo opened t -
first week in December, where students from
parts may enter and complete tin ir Medical K -
