RecomuieiuJatious:
1 have used Smith’s Grammar, Geography, and
Arithmetic on toe Productive system, in my Acade

that 1 consider them superior to any works on the
subjects of which they trea:. Stiu ents in Grammar,
using Smith’s work, make progress which astonishes
these who have been accustomed to the old system of
class-books: The same might be said of students in
the oilier branches. Os these i speak confidently,
having rny knowledge from experience.

Smith’s Geography Improved,—The above siaud
ard and popular work has just appeared from new
plates, the old ones having been destroyed by fire.
I’lie entire work has been revised, and we now pro
nounce it the most accurate work in market. VVe
perceive several new maps; one of Palestine; one of
Liberia; one of Mexico, &c. The Map and O’hart of
the World i< presented cm an entire new plan, and
one which add great value lo the work, and must be
universally admitted. In all respects the work is equal
to any Geography we have, and in several important
particulars superior tdthe others.

/strated seven miles Hast of Marion, near Hamburg
IN uniting these several Medical Systems or modes
of practice Dr. B. R. THOMAS, the Principal
of the School, begs leave to state, for the information
of tile atHicted and public generally, that he lias been
many years engaged in the practice ot Medicine, and
lias di voted iiiueli of tits lime, labor and practice, with
many of the most intelligent and successful German
and Inman Doctors, both in tlib United Suites and
Canada, to the treatment of acute and chronic dis
eases of every name, stage and type, and of the most
malignant character ; and iias, by practicing with them,
acquired a thorough knowledge of all their valuable
secret Recipes and manner of treatment, which is far
superior to any thing known or taught in tiie Medical
Schools, and which kas been successful, by the bles
sings of the Almighty, in restoring to health, hundreds
and thousands of persons that had been treated for a
number of years by many of the most learned and
s tentilic Physicians of the day, and pronounced to be
entirely beyond tile reach of reinedv, and given over
i die. Yet by thesimple,effi acioiis Vegetable Medi
icines, not poisons,they were snatched from the jaws of
the gtmi monster, death, and restored to health, the
greatest of all earthly blessings; for what is riches
nnd elegant dwellings, without health to enjoy them.
Ilealtliis the poor man's wealth; and the rich man’s
bliss. To a mao laboring under disease, the world is
little better than a dreary solitude, a cheerless waste
enlivened by no variety, a joyless scene cheered by
it > social sweets; for the soul in a diseased body, like
■ martyr in his dungeon, may retain its value, but it
has lo it its usefulness.
Will he added to this institution, as soon as the ne
tt :ssat y arrangements can be made, an infirmary—dhe

GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED,
In a serus J Original Pictures, on steil, with let
ier-press dkscriftioiis.
iIHE plan of publishing in successive numbers.
pieiuri.il worKs, illustrative of the scenery of
countries, has long be, n a popular one m Europe and
is rapidly gaining favor in our own country.
The prospectus to issue such a work, devoted to
the scenery of Georg.a, although novel, will imdoubt
edty lind universal iavor, and bo rt girded as it is by
tile cdilor, a plan at once felicitous and feasible.—
Tncre is much scenery in our Slate, tiiat is not sur
passed in beauty and sublimity, by that of any other
State la the Union The upper counties abound m
scenes, which need only to be Known to command the
adm.ration ot all who love the beauties of nature.
.Much of the scenery of li e north is inferior to our
ow n. but is yet visited by ill usauds simply because it
has been written . sung and •‘lionized” by uutlio.s and
travellers, uu •. ns beauty has become universally
known and appreciated. It is desirable that attention
should be directed lo out ow n re-ources of the pic
turesque in natural scenery,and when t his is done, our
own and northern tourists will speedily render our
beautiful views us immortal as our language.
The souih is charged with general indilFcrence to
the progress of Literature and the Fine Arts; a. and
probably the s'rongest foundation for the charge is
found in her inaction in enterp; 1.-es calculated to foster
these objects, the publication of the proposed work
w ill, it is believed, be an effective blow al tins founda
tion, and a step towards the establishment of our lit
erary reput .'ion, to which end much honorable elfort
is now directed.
A third consideration, and the last which will now
be urged, is tbe intrinsic value of such a publication as
•‘GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED.” It will embody
the representations of the beautiful and sublime in
our S'ate scenery, and attord to all, at a trilling ex
pense, exact pictures ot our mountains, vallies, catar
acts, public blindings, &c., which they may or may
not other” ise behold, but which, in either case, would
afford peculiar pleasure.
The proposed work will be executed in a style su
perior to any similar picGral work in the country.
T ie plates will be executed on steel, by eminent tn
gravers, from original drawings, made expressly for
the purpose, by Mr. T. Addison Richards, of Augus
ta. The engravings will be accompanied with letter
press descriptions, prepared for the work, and in this
departmnnt the editor will secure, as far as possible,
the assistance and co-operation of our best writers. In
short, no pains will be spared to make the work a per
fect gem of its kind, to tbe end tiiat it may meet a
welcome reception not onlv at home but also abroad.
Conditions —‘-GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED”
will be issued in monthly parts, in the quarto form, at
§5 per annum in advance, or at 50 cents for each
part. pay aide on’delivery.
Each part will contain two highly Jinithed engravings
of Georgia Scenery, accompanied with letter-press
descriptions and historical facts, printed on large and
beautiful type oa the finest paper, the whole enveloped
in a neatly printed cover.
Any individual who will obtain and forward six ad
vanced subset iptions shall be entitled to a copy of the
work. Clubs may receive twelve copies to one ad
dress for SSO, or twenty-five copies for §IOO. in either
case free of postage.
Communications aud subscriptions must be addres

From the N. O. Bulletin.
CITY OF MATAGORDA, TEXAS.
On she I4lh October, the Corner Sione of
the first Episcopal'church in the Republic,
was laid in this city, the Rev. C. S. Ives offi
ciating on the occasion.
At ten o’clock, the inhabitants met at the
bouse of Mr. Ives. The procession to the
•rround was formed in the iollowiiig order:—
The Clergyman; the Church Wardens, the
Mayor, (J. W. Sewell, Esq.): the Cuy Mar
shall, and Aldermen ot the Corporation; the
the Prolessional Gentlemen of the Ciiv; fol
lowed by a large concourse of the respecta
ble citizens, inarching two by two. The
weather was peculiatly fine, and a number
of ladies graced she ceremony with ttieir
presence. At the proper place in the service,
Mr. Ives addressed the assembly. He pointed
out the benefits accruing from the attendance
of public worship in promoting human hap
pinesss and cherishing the good feelings, par
licularly that of charity, and by establishing a
deep regard for moralily and good order. —
That as a social community, our young and
rising town would be beneficially influenced
by it, now that its character and tone of so
ciety are being formed and its prosperity in
creased—also, the still higher benefiis result
ittg from a true sense of religion, in making
man fit for the felicities of life everlasting.
Our town, which promises to be one of much
importance, is now in its infancy; it has yet
to establish its character, and bv its example
will hove a great influence over a large por
lion of this Republic. The whole history of
the world shows that no community can ever
enjoy prosperity, unless ihere he a sense of
religion among its members. Here there is a
temple open to all who choose to enter, where
will be administered she ordinances of the
Gospel of Christ, which, if properly received,
will entitle man to a life of eternal happi
ness.
When the ceremony of laying the Corner
Slone was concluded, John Delap, Esq. ad
dressed the meeting. He said,
“Ladies and Gentlemen —Fellow-Citizens:
I should much regret that the present inter
esting opportunity should pass without a few
observations from someone of our old citi
zens. It is in the memory of several now
present, that years ago the inhabitants of
Matagorda, whose opinions were of any val
ue, anxiously wished lor a minister of the
gospel to reside among them, in whom the
sentiments and affections of the people could
concentrate. That wished for consummation
has been fully realized. We have among us
our highly esteemed friend, the Rev. C. S.
Ives, iu an eminent degree possessing all the
qualities so anxiously desired. In the gener
al discharge of his clerical duties, he gives
universal satisfaction; kind and affectionate
in his address—evincing so lively an interest
in tiie welfare of each family in our city and
vicinity, that every man considers him not only
his spiritual adviser but his personal friend.”
Mr. Delap then took a view of Religion,
as it operates on mankind, in llieir political,
civil and domestic relations —adv< rted to the
impression on tiie minds oi men, in all ages,
civilized and savage, with iespeci to the ex
istence of a Supreme Being. “What,” said
he, “held together the ancient Republics of
Greece and Rome? Religion. ‘Our fist du
ties,’ said one of their philosophers, ‘vve owe
to the gods, our second to our country, our
third to our lamilies.’ No nation ever be
came great or respected, whose political in
stitutions were not based on Religion. Look
hack to the great, the good, die religious men,
who, in a neighboring Kepubl c, wrested their
freedom and independence lrom one of the
most powerlul nations in modern times!—
What was George Washington? A tiuly
religious man. What gave lorce to the im
mense military talents he possessed? The
conciousness ol the justice of ins country’s
cau*e, and conciousness based on genuine
religion. Let our rule. . and our citizens fol
low the religious example btqueaihed to us
by the founders ol the iieptibic of the Uni
ted States of America, and like that nation,
Texas will become great at and respected.”
“In our civil capacity,” said Mr. Delap,
“vve have already experienced the important
advantages ol the introduction of a regular
form of religious observances; self-respeci
has been followed by respect lor tire persons
and opinions of our neighbors. The Sabbath
day is decently observed—no more drunken
broils on our streets —we can meet on change,
in our social or commercial capacity, without
the annoying interference of intoxicated ruf
flan ism. lam proud to hear the approving
observations of strangers on our present gen
tlemanly, orderly and moral social condition.’
In discussing the high advantages ot reli
gion as it a fleets our domestic cornlorts, Mr.
Delap, in a most thrilling manner, introduced
the inte.esting picture of fireside bappmi ss in
Burns’ “ Cottager's Saturday Night!” —
“What,” said he, “sheds such a sa< led halo
around this charming picture? ’ Tis Religion!
! dial genuine ligbiener of the cares of iile.”—
i He ended by praying, that the “Moon of mo;-
| ally, enlightened hy beams emanating from
the sun of genuine religion, might shed her
rays on our path through life—political,social j
and domestic.”

MR. CLAY’S POLICY.
Tbe Bank system, the Land Distribution ;
or Slate Debt Assumption System, and the |
Protective System, are in active preparation, j
and are beginning lo be urged even belore
the Inauguration of the President of the
Federalists. The “Banner Stale” is active
in pushing them; hut they have found a stur
dy opponent in the Hon. Robert Wicklitle,
Senator from Mr. Clay’s District. This gen
man, though a Harrison man, will not swa!
| low Mr. Clay’s measures. He foresees their
, disastrous results to Kentucky herself He
j deuies that the Bank question *‘w settled ”
I He says if that question is forced upon tnis
I Congress, it must lorce Harrison to sell ct a
Bank Cabinet. He comends that a National
Bank and Slate Banks cannot coexist. He
believes the former constitutional, and if a
proper charter could be secured for it, is wil
ling to see the State Banks 6unk; hut be sees
danger ahead. He believes that if the Ken
tucky Banks were all paying specie, the cer
tain prospect of a National Bank would stop
them in sixty days. He objects to political
Banks—ft ars the Bank proposed would be so.
Ff tbe Government takes stock in it, State
Governments, State Rights and Libeity are
gone.
The credit of Kentucky must suffer by a
great Bank being chartered. He advised the
Legislature to mind their own business —
maintain the public faith of Kentucky, pay
her debts, and set at once about the taxation
which is inevitable.
Such a Bank would bear within it the seeds
of its own dissolulion, and would cause run
ous fluctuations. The old Bank was a politi
cal connection between Government and iri
d viduals. Tiie Bank was to take care of the
interest of the rulers. It would drain Ken
tucky of specie to pay foreign dividends. —
Th school lund would be sunk. Why
pledg** themselves in advance and take a leap
in the dark?
He was the friend of Harrison and Tyler
—not their hr.rth's ecmnt. By voting for
Ihem he was not pledged for a Bank. If ei
ther of them had voted for such a Resolution
as that under diseusskin, they could not have
touched bottom in Virginia, South Carolina,
North Carolina or Georgia. John Tvler con and
ml possibly give his aid to such a measure.
Harrison he declared was opposed to a Na
tiotial Bank in many essentials. If Harrison
vent tor such a Resolution, Harrison would
be perjured.
Kentucky was embarrassed from borrowing,
when she ought to havebeen taxing. Ii was
alwaysunore popul tr to burroxr. Let Kentuc
ky save her credit, cherish those of her own
Banks which have done well, and noi lay her
sell at the tool of an institution, lliat will only
fleece her out of fat dividends.
Mr. W. combatted the prejudice against
South Carolina, and vindicated her from the
aspersions of the member from Louisviile.
He confessed he could not answer the ques
lion “\Y here shall we get a sound currency?”
It could be prot ed by her annals, that Ken
tucky had assumed ail sons of attitudes, and
gone now (or nullification—now for consolida
tion—in short, for all and any doctrines,
Had she not voted for Tyler, Ami-Bank in
policy and principle? for Harrison, nut so
explicit, but of the same opinion. He hao
tea red, that, while there “the old felicit) would
have committed himself.”
Wait until Harrison comes in, if you must
instruct. He had declared liom the slump
that Harrison and Tyler were Anti-Bank.
Note you tell t hen) ‘‘the question is settled. He
is a high Bank man, as rank as Webster him
self.
In the Course of a subsequent speech, Mr.
Wickltfle made a telling hit at Mr. Clay, and
his speeches are as good as Democratic.
It is almost supeifluous to say, lhat Mr. W.
was voted down. The Clay men had it all
their own way—went with a rush for the
principles f~ which Harrison was elected,
and adopted the Resolution in favor of a Na
tional Bank by a “Banner State” majority.
Resolutions in favor of Mr. Clay’s Disiri
bulion (alias assumption of State Debts) were
also adopted.
CONGRESS.
Few exciting questions have arisen during
the present session, and indeed public atten
tivJn has been mainly turned to such passing
glimpses o( the policy of the coming admin
istration, as might be afforded by the boasts,
promises, threats, and other intimations of the
leading Whigs. There is, however, a fate
higher even than Whiggery. Mr. Clay has
threatened us with a National Bank, to pro
mote and regulate the growth of “grass in
ihe streets of Norfolk and Charleston.” Mr.
Webster has expatiated on the blessings of
unlimited credit; but these things grow not
by talking; and as to the Florida war that
Gen. Harrison was positively to finish, it
seems perversely determined to end itself
without him. There will be little left for the
Whigs to do but to raise the taxes and run us
in debt, both of which they promise.
More than the usual quantity of private I
claims have been disposed of, so tar, and ini
the Senate the project of a sort of Star
Chamber Court, under the name of Commis
sioners of claims, has again been brought
forward. It has been, from the first, opposed
hy Mr. Calhoun and other Senators, as involv
ing a great and pernicious change in the leg
islation of Congress on private claims, and is
lor the present deferred. A majority of the
Senate have been heretofore in favor ol this
measure, and may he so now.
In the House of Representatives, on Thurs
day, a motion to go into Committee of the
Whole on the President’s Message, on the
Monday followino, failed, and of course no
part of that document is likely immediately
to go to the appropriate committees.
A diplomatic correspondence relative to
the burning the steamboat Caroline during the
Canada troubles was sent to the House on
Thursday and after reading, ordered to be
primed. It is of considerable interest at.d
may prove another seed of’ hostility.
Application had been pressed some months
since by our Government fur redress and
compensation by Great Britain in the maiter
of this outrage on the Caroline, but no satis
faciory answer returned, and there the ques
tiun rested, when in Nov. last the athorities of
New York arrested and put upon his trial one
Alexander M Leod, an charge of murder and
arson, as having been concerned in the burn
ing of tbeCaro'ine, the property of citizens of
New York, and being at the time within her
jurisdiction.
The pith of the note of the British Minis
ter Mr. Fox, complainingof this imprisonment
of M‘Leod, may be summed up in one of its
paragraphs.
“I feel it rny duty to call upon the Govern
ment of the United States to take prompt and
effectual steps for the liberation of Mr M‘-
Leod. It is well known that the destruction
of the steamboat ‘ Caioline” was a public act
of persons in her Majesty’s service, obeying
the ortler of their superior authorities. Thai
act, therefore, according to (he usages of na
tions, can only he the subject of discussion
between the two National Governments. It
! cannot just y be made the ground of legal
proceedings in the l tilled Stales against the
I individuals concerned, who were bound to
! obey the authorities appointed by their own
! Government.”
In his leply, Mr. Forsyth, on the part of
I tie President, declines to inlet sere in favor of
the accused, and vindicates the determination
>u a very sufficient manner, as will be seen
bv the billowing extract.
‘•The jurisdiction of the several States
which constitute the Union is. within iis ap
probate sphere, perfect ; y independent of the
Federal Government. The oflnee with
which Mr. M*Le-.d is charged was committal
I within die teriitorv, and igainst iiie laws and
1 citizens of the State ol New York, ana is
jone that comes clearly within the competency
iof tier tribunals. It does not, theieiore, pre
jSent an occasion where, under the constitution
ad lawsuit’ the Union, the interposition cak
ed for would he proper, or lor which a war
rant can he found in tlie powers with winch
; the Fede al Executive is invested. Nor
; would die circumstances to which you have
| referred, or the reasons you have urged, jus
tify the exertion of such a power, if it exist
ed. The transaction out of which the ques
| lion arises, presents the case of a most un
justifiable invasion, in lime of peace, of a
j portion of the territory of the United States,
■ by a hand of armed men from the adjacent
territory of Canada, the forcible capture by
them within our own waters, and the suHse
quentdest net ion of a -teaniboat, the proper
ty of a citizen of the United Stales, and the
murder of one or more American citizens. 11
arrested at the lime, ihe offenders might un
questionably have been brought Injustice by
the judicial authorities of the Siate within j
whose acknowledged territory these crimes j
were committed; and their subsequent voiun- j
ta-y entrance within that territory : laces j
them in the same situation. The President
is not aware of any principle of international
law, or indeed of reason or justice, which en
titles such offenders to impunity before the le
gal tribunals, when com ng voluntarily within
their independent and undoubted jurisdiction,
because they acted in obedience to their su
perior authorities, or because their ac!6 have
! become the subject of diplomatic discussion’
’ between the two governments. These me
thuds ot redress, the legal prosecution of the
offenders and the application of their Govern
ment lorsaiislaclion, are independent of each
other, and may separately and simu taneously
be pursued. The avowal or jurisdiction of the
outrage by the British authwiities, might he a
ground ot complaint with ihe Government of
•he United Slates, distinct from the violation
of the territory and laws of tiie State of New
Y. The application of the Government of the
Union to that of Britain, for the redress of an
authorized outrage of the peace, d.gnitv, and
rights ol the United Slaies, cannot deprive
the State of New York of her undoubted
right of vindicating, through tae exe cist o
her judicial power, the property at.d Ives of
her citizens. You have very properly te
garded the alleged absence of Mr. M Leod
front Ihe scene of he offence at the time when
it w is committed, as not material to me dec
siou of the present questi -n. That ;s a mat
>er to be decided bv legal ev.denct; and tee
sincere desire ol the President is. that it may
be saPsfactoii.y esiablishe . If the destine
tion of the Caroline w.is a public act of per
sons in her Majesty’s service, obeying tiie or
der of the superior authorities, this fact has
not been before communicated to the Gov
ernment of the United Stales by a person
authorized <o make the admission; and it will
be for the court which has taken cognizance
of the offence with which Mr. M Leod is
charged, to decide upon its validity when le
gally established before it.
Correspondence of the Charleston Courier,
Washington, Dec. 30.
In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Crittenden, from
the Committee on the Judiciary, reported the
bill to establish a geueral bankrupt system.
The bill is similar to that which passed the
Senate at the late session. It provides for
voluntary and compulsory bankruptcy; but |
not extended to banks. Mr. Crittenden ask
ed the early action of Senate on the subject,
and fixed the 7tli of January as the time for
taking it up, when all, he hoped, would be
prepared to consider it. Ido not believe that
the subject will attract any attention, at this
session. Very little will be done a this ses
sion. It will be difficult to bring the minds of
members of the House to bear on questions
unconnected with party excitements.
Mr. Calhoun’s bill, to cede the public lands
to the States in which they lie, was reported
by Mr. Norvell, from the Committee on the
Pub ic Lands. This is a most important sub
ject, but I doubt whether Congress is dispos
ed to take it up, just mw. The several prop
ositions of Mr. Benton, Mr. Clay, and Mr.
Calhoun have long been before the country,
and, at no distant day, they must be decided
on.
Mr. Benton still goes it on his salt bill, In
dian blankets, &,c., on which subjects he is
very great.
The bill, to establish a Board of Commis
j sioners on claims; has been laid on the table
| lor the present, to allow a more thorough in-
I vestigation of the matter. 1 tear that it will
never become a law.
The House was engaged the whole day on
the Navy Pension bill. There was a perfect
confusion of tongues and opinions on this sub
ject. Members have paid little attention to
it, and know nothing about it. It, is not a
party question, and, therefore, no one will
care much how it goes.
The law ol 1800, jjrovided that a portion ol
the prize money, received from the Navy,
should constitute a fund for pensioning the
Widows or children of those killed or disabled
in the naval service. But Congress, by the
law of 1837, seized upon this fund,, and ap
propriated it to oilier objects—i. e. for the re
bel of a class of persons not contemplaied in
the law of 1800. But the act of 1800 fortu
nately provided that the government should
be responsible for any deficiency in this fund.
So, there is no fear of the result, in regard to
the pensioners. The government has squan
dered and lost the fund, but it is answerable
for it..
There is great and continued excitement in
regard to the Bank of the United States in
Philadelphia. Some say that it cannot, in
fairness and honesty, resume specie payments
and that, therefore, it had better not resume at
all. One thing is certain, that it will soon be
proved whether it can resume or not. The
15th January is at hand, and then, 1 suppose,
it will resume or not resume. If it resumes,
there will be a strong run upon it, which, I hope,
it will be able to stand. It can stand only on
one ground—to wit solvency. Wanting that
advantage, it cannot be sustained by the mere
clamor of its friends.
Washington, Doc. 31.
There was an interesting discussion in the
House, to-day, of the subject of our border
difficulties with the Canadas. A message
was received from the President, in answer
to a resolution of the House, calling foi infor
mation as to the state of the negotiation with
the British Government, in regard to the at
tack on the Caroline , &c. On the motion to
print, some debate arose. It appears that the
attention of the British Government had been
repeatedly called to this subject, by Mr. Ste
venson, but than no reply had been received
by him. In the mean time, the authorities of
New York undertook to avenge thernseives.
They arrested Mr. M‘Ueod, the Canadian dep
uty sheriff imprisoned him at Lock port, and
indicted him for murder and arson, on which
indictment he is to be tried for his life. Mr.
Fox, the British minister here, demanded ihat
MfLeod be re eased—stating that the attack
on the steam boat Caroline was made bv or
der of the British authorities; that it was,
therefore, a public and national act, for /. inch
the British Government was resjxi: sibie, and
for which this government had sough; re, tress,
as a national affair. He therefore contended
that no individual could be amenable to
the laws of New York for the pjretended oi
fence.
Mr. Forsyth’s reply is elaborate and able—
the best thing I have ever seen from his fieri.
He declines any interference in the matter,
for the reason that Mr. M‘Lood had been guil
ty of an offence against the laws and the cit
izens of New York, and within her territory,
and that *he offence is clearly within the com
pe ency of her tribunals.
Mr. Pickens praised the paper as an admi
rable defence of the State Rights doctrines.
Mr. Alford, of Georgia, commenced it on the
same ground, but declared that we had too
tamely submitted to the insolence of Great
Britain, ar.d that it was time to put an end to
this controversy. Mr. Holmes of South Car
olina, remarked that there appe/rei to be a
settled plan, on the part of the friends of the
new administration, to involve the count ry in
a war with Great Britain.
Mr. Cushing ma : e a pretty strong war
j speech, and supported the Views of the Sec
i retary of State. He denounced Mr. Fox's
j demands, as unre3s -nable and insulting. As
|to the charge that s he vvhig3 were des.rous of
a war with England, ,l was equally ground
less with that ether charge against the whigs,
with which the Van Boren presses had teem
ed, that the whig® were influenced by British
gold.
Mr. Duncan took the floor for the purpose
of proving that the whig par‘y acted under]
the influence cf the British moneyed aristcc-
racy* But the speaker called him to order.
Mr. C ashing told Mr. Duncan tiiat he hoped
to have the opportunity to meet him on that
point in committee ot the whole. The mat
ter l.e re ended—sooo copida of the message
being ordered.
‘•'he opinion is that ATLeod will be acquitted,
for want of testimony; but if the New York
ers shomd hang him,, it would give rise to a
war at once.
A message was also received on the sub
ject ol the interruption of our trade in China.
It appears that notice lias been given us by
Lord Palmerston that the river and port of
Canton are under blockade, and that all the
measures authorized by the laws of nations
will be adopted and executed, v ith respect to
ail vessels which may attempt to violate that
blockade.
Mr Adams reported his bill to insure the
more laithiui execution of the laws for tlie
collection ot duties. He sent a letter to the
Chair from the reporter of the New York
Herald, stating the report of Mr. Robert Jaf
tray's speech is perfectly correct. Much
amusement was excited by this. So, Con
gress stands accused, by the New York mer
chants, ot being subject chiefly to the influ
ence ot “money and champagne.”
We have had a rumor here that General
Jackson was to be sent to the Senate of the
United States from Tennessee, but of course
no one credits it.
From the Natchez (Mis.) Free Trader, Dec. Zy
Paganism —The Hollowing picture of idol
ati v is given by Mr. Sutton, a missionary at
Serampore, who witnesses daily the norrid de
formity ot Paganism, at the very doors of the
Pagodas of Juggernaut— where millions of
the wrpiched beings make annual pilgrimages
to celebrate the rights ot this revolting wor
ship, many thousands of whom die ou their
journeys. How beautifully does the revealed
religion of Cinist contrast*with Oriental Pa
ganism in all its splendor. No pilgrimages to
Mecca, Medina, Juggernaut, Btnaise, or
Sagur, is required of the votaries of the’reli
gion of Christ—r.o sacrifices or penance, but
those which tend to make the man a better
member of society, in all his intercourse with
his iellow mao. Christianity weeps a t me
relation ol such scenes as the billowing, and
sighs lor the time when Hindoosian ams Thib
et, with their millions ol degraded beino , shall
embrace the Gospel of the Son of Peace.
‘ I saw many pilgrims, and many of them
the most misei a hie objects tha I can be ima
gined. One or two particularly attracted my
attention; one was a blind old man, wasted
away to such a degree that with Ins sunken,
sighiless eyes, he formed a very striking re
semblance io the picture of death; another
was an old woman with tottering steps and
emaciated body, bending her course to a home
which it is next to uri|)<>ssibJe she can ever
reach. Oiheis were young men, who had
performed a pilgrimage of perhaps 1000 or
1500 miles, and now naked and starving, and
exhausted with fatigue, they are slowly re
tracing their weary way. Most of them are
worn out with walking, an.j their feet so blis
tered and torn that they are obliged to bind
them up with the only piece of cloth they
have, to enable them to prosecute their jour
ney at all, And what m the fruit of all this
toil? W by, they have a picture of Jugger
naut, such as you have seen in England, sus
pended round their necks, and two or three
little sticks colored with red ochre, to lake
home, if they ever reach it, as a memorial of
tiieir pilgrimage.
“We have now travelled about fifty miles
along the great road to Juggernaut, and every
where it is alike lull oi pilgnms passing to
and from that accursed thing. Oh tiiat I
could describe in proper language the miser
ies ol its wretched voiaries. But the ac
counts would scarcely he believed in Ameri
ca, and here they are unnoticed. Mary are
blind, who go to obtain holiness by approach
ing the vile block; one ol this description lies
now at the door of our tents, at the foot of a
tree. What a poor wretch he is! He is
perpetually crying: give me some food, I die,
l die; my body is shrivelled up, my feet are
broken, and my substance is passing away
with the cholera. Ah Boba, Boba, I am ‘a

G Juggernauti. I have now given him a ru
pee and some rice, and put him in the road;
arid now, afflicted and alone, he has gone gro
ping his forlorn way blind in body and soul.
But this is not a solitary case. I think I have
noticed ten blind pilgrims in these four dav*d
journeying, and I cannot be supposed to ha ve
seen a fourth of the pilgrims who are on the
road. The majority of those who return, g<>
laboring along, with tottering steps and bro
ken feet, and bended backs, and a death-likc
emaciated frame, begging and sighina, and
groaning all the way. Oh, idolatry!” 0
