JONATHAN S VIST TO A* PRINTING
OFFICE.
Di<l you ever go Dp to the Printer’*,
And hc them devil* to or oik!
I cussnolchetl il beet* ell to flinten
Matbei’e fun when we kill all our pork.
Them Wien they stand right up straight,
And pick little pieces of lead.
Stuck in chubby holes thicker. I’ll bate,
Than seeds in our big paisnip bod.
Then they keep such a ducking and bobbing,
I’ll be darn'd! like aunt Peggy’s old drake
When he's gobbling up corn, or a robin
That stands on one leg on a stake.
low a plague ran they Cud alt the letters,
Is more than my gumption can tell;
They call them are workmen type setters,
And an old shoe, they said that was bell.*
Then they’ve got 100, a cast iron press.
It beau father's for cider and cheese;
’Tie tarnation hard work, I should guess,
And it gives a confounded tight squeeze.
There's a thumping great roller I swow.
They keep pushing—the Lord knows for what,
And the psprr, ’twould cover our mow,'
Such a whopping great sheet have they got.
Mow they fill it all upTs the wonder,
Where a darn do they find so much news.
As thick as pea blossoms in summer—
What a nation of ink they do use!
■By gall! I don't tec how they pay
For so many heaps of white paper,
They toll’d me they used every day;
Good Lord—it would ruin Squire Taber.
I’ve no notion, I vutn, 'tws* such tsrnal
Hard work to print papers and books,
Til go right down and scribe for the Jamal
And go home and tell all the folks.
•The old shoo kept aa a receptacle for broken
types. The devil, no doubt, imposed on the kimph
'city of Jonathan.
LESSONS FOR LOVERS. -
The last number of Frartr’a Magazine contains
a pleasant little poem under the whimsical title
of “Very," which contains some sage minims for
young gentlemen who go a courting. We extract
three stanzas:
“If for instance, a woman you wish to woo,
Be her humor grave or merry,
The game is your own—you’ve nothing to do
But maks her believe you—‘Very.’
Very sad, very gay, very sharp, very flat,
Very given to tea, or to sherry—
Very hot, very cold, very this, very that,
Very any rA/nf—so you’re'Very.’
Very tall, ve-y short, very dark, very fair,
Very pale in the face, or florid;
Nay, I've known a man loved to the verge of
despair,
For being aurptaaingly horrid."
THE AIR,
The air ia a hatchclor, merry and free,
He roves at his pleasure, o’er land and o'er aca,
He ruffles the lake, and ho Uisacs the flower.
And sleeps when be lists in a jessamine bower,
He gives to the cheek ul the maiden its bloom.
He tastes her warm kin..cs, and breathe then per
fume;
But truant like often, the sweats (hat he sips
Are lavish’d next moment on lovelier lips,
THE HOUSES OF TEXAS.
Tlio horses u-td ill Texas arc colled Muslangs,
and run wild in vast numbers over the I uundle-e.
praiiies. The following is an amusing introduc
tion to our author's steed, and a dclighllul account
of his first trick:
‘•The first thing to be attended to was the pur
chase us a kotaei and this was easy 1 1 bo ctfecled.
The small horses of the country called muiiangt,
introduced by the Spaniard*, aie now numeroua
in the more northern prairies, run wild in .'roves
over these parts us Texas, and are easily taken
and rendered servisabl.' by the inhabitants. When
caught, it would boa problem to u stranger to
confine them, where theru ia neither (roe nr rock
to he found; hut thu Mexicans pul on a baiter,
knot it at Ihn end, dig pilule shout ten inches
deep, put in the knot and press the earth down
upon n. The pull being sideways is at a disad
vantage, and the horse is unable to draw n out.—
They are driven to market, purchased lor three or
four dollars, branded, hobbled, turned out again,
and entirely obandonded to themselves until they
are needed. Whenever a vessel arrives, some ol
the inhabitants send into the woods and Cano
brakes for such a number as they suppose may
lie wanted by the passengers; and tills 1 found
had been done, in anticipation of iho wama of
those who came in tins sloop Mnjesly. In the
log stable belonging to Mr. Austin, at whose
house I lodged, I saw a number of them, with all
thu wild look which might he expected from their
habits of life. They are small, generally about 13
bands high well formed, rather for strength, snd ol
different colols, l,auw others in several other *la-
Wes, and at length made choice of s white one;
and having paid for him a doubloon sud four dol
lars, (a handsome advance on his original cost,)
stuffed a pair of saddle hags with a few articles of
f.Kvd as well ns clothes, and was soon ready fui
my journey."
As the brands on horses afforded the only ev i
deuce us (heir identity, and the propel ty of their
owner*, the rules observed in respect to them air
very strict.
These horses aro very uarful in the country,
snd may perhaps become, at some future d.iy, u
valuable article us export, as they are innume
rable,and cast only the trouble of catching. This
is done with a strong noosed cord, made of twist
ed strips of taw hide and called a fuze, which is
the Spanish word for a band or bond, Il has of
ten been described, as well as the manner of
throwing it, as il is in common use for catching
animals, and sometime* for chocking men in dil
ferent parts of America, inhabited by the descen
dants of the Spanish and Portuguese. A man
on horseback, with a rope us this kind coiled in
his led hand, and one end of it fastened to iho
horse, whirls the noose end in the air over his
head as hc approaches the animal ho intends to
seize; and on finding an opportunity, Ihiuwt it
uver hi* head or hours, and cheeks his horse.
The noose is instantly drawn light, and the poor
creaiure ia thrown violently down, without the
power of moving, and generally deprived ol
breath. They are sometimes badly injured, and
even killed, by being dashed to the ground; but
generally escape with a seve n practical lesson
on the nature of tin* rude instrument of civiliza
tion, which they ufterwaids hold in great respect
all their live*, yielding immediately whenever
they fed it again upon their necks.
<■ The mustangs often carry to their graves evi
dence of the violent mean* adopted by the Mexi
cans in breaking them to the bridle. Many ol
them are foundered, or otherwise diseased. A
horse which has been lazoed is blindfolded,
mounted by a rider armed with the heavy and
barbarous spur* of the country, after having limit
terrible lever bits put into hi* mouth, a moderate
pull which might break hi* jaws; and if ho run*
is pricked to hit speed, till be falls down with
exhaustion. He is then turned in the opposite
direction, snd cruelly spurred again. If hc is
found able to run bark to iho point from which
he started, he is thought to have bottom enough
to make a valuable horse: otherwise ha it turned
off as good for little or nothing. The process it
a brutal one ; and the agony .indicted by the bits
is extreme ; as Mood flows freely bom lbs mouth,
which is often greatly swollen : and the animal
yields to mere force.
‘•ln the morning wo mounted our horses, and
proceeded to the river, where the ferry boat, a
large scow, was lying near the shore. I dis
mounted, and taking the bridle in my hand, at
templed to lead my borne in after me. Most for
tunately I was looking at him, and was holler pre
pared (ban I was sensible of being, to make one
at those sudden instinctive motions which some
times prove essential to our safety. Had 1 been
turning the other way, or a iillla less active, ]
should probably hive lost my Ufe.or at least have
(teen seriously injured: for initetd of following
me into the boat, as an honest horse should, and
as I had expected him to do, he fixed bis eyes up
-08 JSft Wit* * mil lions »xp'fs*iuo, and sprung
■I me tike lightning, clearing the ground entirely,
end making a leap of about eight feet I jumped
aside, and barely in time to avoid hi* feet, with
which it seemed to me he designed to beat me
down. Ida nut know that I ever bed experien
ced such feelings at this occurrcncv|cxciled in rnc.
It betrayed a degiec of spile mingled will) craft
which 1 had never seen in an animal us hi* spe
cies; and laid the axe at the root of all that confi
dence and attachment w inch a traveller loves to
exercise towards hia horse. I hive been thu*
particular in mentioning tins li lit occurrence, lie
cause the wit of the country appears to be largely
invested in tbs horses; and Ibis was the begin
ning of mv while mustang."
The toliowing account of the’ sujiererogslory
real ofthe same active Utile animal, is, however,
really amusing.
"The cattle were to be only drive up new the
house; and aa there were sevens) hundreds of
them, I volunteered my assistance. Drawing my
bridle toward* them, I found my little horse no
way loth to proceed to the business, on the con
trary, he hasiened »f er the herd, and toon made
some ol them quicken their pace. He even pres
sed upvn them farther limn 1 thought necessary,
and at last began to bite such ss he could resell.
I now auspeenni that he had much mure expe
rience than I had nor supposed, in iho station us
a muslsi.g on u farm. And when an ox broke
away from ihe drove, us one soon did, tie wsa no
more ai a lowi concerning his doty in such a ease;
and taking a sudden turn, winch almost twitched
me out ut my saddle, threw himself after the fu
gitive at full speed, 'i he race was swift, but
short; for the ox finding iluclf outrun, turned
back to rejoin the herd. The pexiilent little horse
at tha tame timu bulled one* more, snd (how 1
know not) luok me hsck with him; lor I frit my
self on the verge of tn oveithrow. Il win not
I mg before my w*leh Inland busy little li-< s* spiel
another descnei from the ranks, and effbe sprang
again, sideways, wuhout giving me the slightest
notice and scampered over the prairie after one of
the wild creatures we were driving; then, in a inn
n ment, he was at another full slop, that almost
i. threw me over hit head, and buck again like the
wind to his old place.
"My strength snd commands proved alike una
vailing. Like a stubborn cook, who lake* raw
1 and rcast into her own hand*, lie was above my
v advice, and set my orders at naught, to that 1
< was compelled to swallow whatever he pleased to
1 give me. Hu had experience in cuttle driving
long before I had ever seen Texas or a wild ox,
and seemed to have determined to show mo how
impudent and provoking a mustang can lie, un
j der the niosks of faithful and untiring service in
* job selected fur him by his manor. I thought
fur some lima ilia: I should never get my bones
har k whole to Ansliuac ; for it was not twice nor
lliriec that the cattle ran out of the drove near us
and he invariably insisted on giving ehuee to all
etlrays, and bringing them hack in his own pe
culiar style, or like a dog after sheep, let me do
or say w hat I would. At length I began to feel
more at home in the business, and by close, si
* tention, kept myself better guarded against bis
dodging* mil doublings. It was not, however,
until the disco was over, ami I had dismounted

The following is from the Tallahassee Watch- .
man in reply to an article of ours some days since
in relation to Gov. Call’s reply to Gen. Clinch,
in which we expressed regret that the Ho.ida
press had come out against that veteran defender
ofber suffering people.
In justice to ourselves, and the people’ of Flo
rida, we cannot refrain from noticing the charge
contained in the following paragraph from the
Augusta Sentinel. The editor of that paper, af
ter m iking some remarks in defence of General
Clinch, says:
“We had hoped to see one General allcast, 1
escape the abuse of the Florida press. But we '
have been disappointed. Even Gen. Clinch is I
now traduced and reviled by those for wh ise safe- 1
ty and protection he patiently endured hardship, 1
and gallantly braved danger.”
Now as far as the “Florida Press" is concern- 1
cd, it may not he necessary or proper for us to '
soak; hut the Sentinel should at least have made 1
one exception. In fact, we know of but one pa- 1
per in the Territory, that has reflected upon the I
character of Gen. Clinch. On the contrary, so t
far ns nur kn iwlelgo attends, that gentleman
stands high in the estimation of the people gene- (
rally. That the people of Florida have in some
instances passed severe strictures upon some of
the officers who have figured in the Seminole
war, wo do not deny, but they have generally |
gratefully appreciated the services of those who
have done their duty. Do us justice, Mr. Editor. |

I would remark, however, for the information '
of “A Friend to Temperance," that the “Total 1

the result ot identity of the principles of the two ,
candidates and the division upon personal rather
than political grounds. We wore over nearly 1
the whole ground of the District and know that 1
Whigs and Van Uuren men alike supported the [
candidates without regaided to those parties. We
know Mr. Lyon to be as good a Whig as there
is in the United States.— Mob. Chron. 15th.
Wo understand that the brig Whig, Captain
Dawes, which sailed from this port about the ,
last ol January, for Marseilles, has not been heard
from. Any intelligence of her will be gratifying
to those interested in her in this city.— lb.
It is a mournful task to record the untimely
death of young men cut down in the vigor and
springtime of life, and we never undertook its
discharge with more pain than in the instance
of Richard F Hannon, Esq. of this city, who fell ;
in a duel on Santa Rosa Island, opposite Tensa- t
• da, on Saturday evening at six o’clock, from t
Die shot ofLieut. Mono, of the U. S. Navy. We j
understand both pariics behaved very well on the J
occasion, and that the survivor was painfully as- J
fected at the melancholy issue of the meeting. ,
Lieut; Munn was the challenged party Woun- I
derstood efforts w etc made to produce a reconcili
ation, hut time and other circumstances prevent
ed the mutual Iriends effecting their laudable pur- (
pose. How much bloodshed and how many val
uable lives might bo saved by the establishment
of Courts of honor. The most fatal consequeu- I
ces sometimes flow from a misunderstanding
which the timely intervention of honorable friends ’
might prevent. ,
Mr. Hannon was inteired in this city, amid i
the deep regrets of his numerous code of friends
and acquaintances. He was a naive of Peters
burgh, Va. had studied law, and located in this ci
ty. — lb.

“Caution. —Our readers are cautioned against t
retaining Notes of the old Btate Bank of North '
Carolina, in their hands after the first Monday in 1
November next. They are now as good as any j
Notes, at the counter of the Bank of tho State; — (
but after the day above mentioned, they will he |
good for nothing. We hope our country friends i
will avail themselves of this, and send these bills to
Raleigh for redemption, as quick as possible; we
hope also, that they will make this matter known j
throughout every neighborhood.
The above remarks apply to the old Banks of

The Liverpool Albion, received by the last arri’
val from England, has the following article:—
We had, last week, the pleasure of statinthat
the Directors of the Bank of England had unan- (
imously agreed to sustain the house of Messrs. /
Wdliam and James Brown & Co., which, like
moat of the houses engaged in the trade to the
United Slates, had experienced temporary embar- *
rassment from not having received the remiltan- e
ces on whiqh they had relied to enable them to
meet their engagements. The arrangement gave |
great and general satisfaction. Its influence was
immediately felt in the partial revival of confi- v
vlence. and in the restoration of activity in the a
Cotton Market. That influence contiuca to he d
fell, a sensible improvement in trade, pailicularly J
in the cotton trade, having taken place.
Some writers of what arc called “City Artie- t
las” in lbs morning papers, arguing from tha al
leged abandonment of the Messrs, Wildra A Co., -
tha Director* of the Bank of England, who, it
is, said, bad agreed to carry that bouse through f
u difficulties, express doubt* with regrd to the
permanence of the arrangement which the dtrec- ta
.ora have entered into with Mcaara. Wm. anU .
las. Drown A Co. At least, they set in to be of *
jpmion, that either the bank director* or the b
Souse in question, ought to make some announce- „
merit of the nature and the extent of the arrange
ment entered into between them, that the mind of h
the commercial world may be assured of its suffi
ciency to enable the parlies to meet all their en- #
gagementa. n
Now, without pretending to khoW more about
arrangement than well informed mercantile men
know about it, we may stale, for the satisfaction
of the writers in question, thit thb directors of the
Bank of England, when the application for as?u- c
tancewas made to them, resolved to advance the ,
amount that might be required to meet the en
gagements and the liabilities of the Liverpool
house of Messrs, Wm and Jas. Brown and Co.,
to the 31st ol Deccnilier next.those gentlemen un
detlai. lr >«! to furnish the bank with adequate securi- j
tics and sultleient gurantecs to repay that irtstitu- J
lion fur any advances the directors might be call
ed on to make on their behalf. The securities
and the gurantees required have been furnished
to the bank; they more than cover all the Me-sr-.
Brown’s engagement* »nd liab line* lie 8t
December next. So that all ihe liabilities of lb*
linn for acceptances, book debts and endorsements .
arc as certain to be paid] as they become due, as
if the parties to whom the house are indebted had
the money now in their cash boxes. I
As we are on the subject of the affairs of this
eminent house, wc may lake the opportunity to *
mention that, notwithstanding the magnitude of j
the engagements Messrs. Wm. & Jas. Brown & (
Co. were under on American account, rhey did
not anticipate any great inconvenience uni 1 the
arrival of toe packet of the Bth ult., bringing them
an account of the general prostration ol credit in
the United S ates, followed by suhscqtichl advices
by the packet of the the 15lh, advising the sus
pension of specie payments o« the part ot the
banks and the impo-sihilty of sending funds for- j
ward to meet English engagements. Under
these circumstances, they at once determined to
apply to the Bank of England lor a temporary
loan on stock real estate and other securities. Ihe
application was most promptly and most liberal
ly met by the Directora resolving, unanimously
to bokl at the disposal of the Messrs. Brown all
the funds that might be required to meet every
engagement their house is under up to the 31sl
of December. Their foreign bills will be mostly
paid in at lew days; and their present inland ac
ceptances will be nearly liquidated in the month
of September.
From ti. '» statement it appears therefore that on
the part of tiio Bank of England the measure is
full and complete; the Directora are quite satis
fied with the resources of Messrs, Wm, and Jas-
Brown A Co. and the .Bank may be said to be
the guarantee of the firm for all payments, in this
country, to the period hefo 'e mentioned.
A Powerful Preacher. —A Kentuckian
who listened to an eloquent and popular

Vaucluse Factory for sale.
IN conformity to a resolution adopted at a meeting
of the Stockholders ot lhe|Vaurlues Manufactur
ing Company, their establishment will be sold at
public auction, on the aecond Monday in November
next, at Vaucluse.
Terms— One fourth cash, and the remainder on a
credit of one, two and three years, in equal instal
m-nls; ihe purchaser giving personal security, and
a mortgage un the premises.
it is confidently believed that no similar establish
ment in the Southern State* combines so many ad
vantages. Situated on a bold and rapid stream run
ning amidst sand hills, it is entirely exempt from
the lever’s ol the country The supply of water, at
all seasons of the year, is sufficient to impel len
times the existing machinery- 'i he house is 100
feet long, forty wide, and five stories high; built «f
solid granite, of which there is an inexhaustible
quarry in thirty yards of it. 'There are in operation
1056 throstles, 600 mule spindles, 120 woo! spindles, i
36 looms, two dressers, and all the other machinery 1
requisite to keep these in motion. The tract of land
contains 1200 acres, abounding in the finest kind of
pine timber, wiib several fine springs of pure water,
unequalled in the Slate, and there is a saw mill upon
it, capable ol supplying all the wants of the cum- ,
pnny in extending their buildings; also a gristmill.
Vaucluse is 14 miles from Augusta, Ga., 6 miles
from Aiken, S. C., 16 miles from Edgefield Court
House, S. C., and 4i miles from the Charie*ton,and
Hamburg Rail Rood 'The proximity to Augusta
renders it unnecessary to keep a considerable inac
tive capital invested in raw cotton, as a weekly sup- i
ply can be certainly, and at all limes, obtained at fair
prices. t
In the hands of a man who understands the man
ufucturing business, and w ould pcr.unally an cud to
it, this Factory would be a splendid lortune. And if
there be any desirous of purchasing this de
scription of properly, they are requested to examine
for themselves, before the day ol sale.

A MAN who calls himselt HENRY J. 'THORN
(an assumed name, no doubt,) came to my

called fur lodging and was taken in Soon alien
stopping informed me that he went either in the last
or first of the present year from New York to Flori
da. He was called in the service for four months, ’
alter the expiration of which time ho volunteered,
for two months more, which had also expired,.and l
ho was trying lo leftim to New York. Staled ho
had lost a fine horse about fourteen miles ft m
here, at a Mr James Williams of this county,where,
his baggage was, and that Mr. Williams would bs‘
up the next day to dinner, with a small waggon or’
carriage, to assist him un his wav as faros Telfa.r
court house. But his baggage did not arrive in due
time, nor, indeed, at all; which disappointment he
seemed to regret, and w onder at very much. Spoke 1
in the highest terms of Mr. Williams, and attributed
ilie delay to some providential cause. Alur two
days slay, purchased or bargainedfor ahorse of me;-
said he must go on at any rate, and the third day
employed a son of mine to go and bring, hietfUnga
from Mr Williams; but Ik bold, when biy son went'
lo Mr Williams’, nothing was there, not quite as
much as when this Mr 1 hora came there; fur while
there, he burrowed a pocket comb, and had nut tbs
honesty or politeness to leave it w hen going away.
When nil this reached me, 1 was perleclly astonish-'
ed; but I lium walked out in the right lime to be'
out of the way before this. I now know that he
must be a scoundrel, nnd a complete well finished
one; for he makes a good appearance, has a harmless ~
pleasant and firm countenance in conversation, well
calculated to deceive. He said a great deal about:
doing business lor Lavelty &Gaqtly in New Tariff,
a house which he said done a very extensive busi
ness. He has either read or travelled considerably,
for beseems to he well acquainted with the most of
the large cities in the United States and Ihe Terri
tories, all the principal officers, and most distin
guished characters, &c.; talks easily OB almost any
subiect.
