JOHN HOWARD. Macon, Sept. 5, IS;8. Extract of a letter from a. correspondent, dated. Tai.t.ahasskk, Sept. 5, 1832. Our religious prospects are at this time of an encour aging nature. On last week I attended a Camp Meeting in Gudusden, near Quincy, and 1 do r.nt recollect of our attending a meeting where the. word preached appeared to take deeper etSicl. The gayest and most profligate were awed into reverence before God. Conversions ( were few; yet I doubt not tint hundreds were deeply and ptingontiy convicted of the necessity of u radical , change of the heart as preparative to ultimate bliss. On last Sabbath evening tlie duties of the third quarter ly meeting for this station closed. During the services oftha meeting much seriousness and attention prevailed; several altar mourners, hut no conversion. Up to tbe presrhit , i)nte, wo have received thirty-tiro members. Notwfth*l£iidtd we have not had any con siderable religious on this station during the present year; still wc have reason tn believe that our la bor m the Lord hus uoti-hoen in vain. ’npentient have, been made to see tjbeirfiiimger and their duty:— ‘ mourners have been comforted and believers made to re joice; and wo are encotiragod to hope from the serious- 1 ness and attention of the congregations; the prayerful engagedness of the members of tho church, and from What I have felt, and do now experience in my own soul, . that the Lord in mercy is about to revive his work among ns, which is my most earnest and sincere prayer. Then shall .Zion prosper and Israel he made to rejoice. Yours, truly, TUOS. I’. C. SUELMAX. NATURAL WONDERS. It is very surprisin'!, that ttvn nf the greatest natural curiosities in the world arc within the U. States, and yet scarcely known to tlie best informed, oar geographers and naturalists. Ihe otic is a beautiful water fall, in Franklin coun ty, Georgia; the other a stupendous precipice, in Pendleton district, South Carolina, they are both faintly mentioned in the late edition of Morse's Geography;. but not as they merit. The TueCoa°fall .is much higher than the fails of Niagara. The water is propelled beau tifully over a perpendicular rock, and when tlie strain is full, it passes down without being bro ken. All the prismatic; effect, seen at Niagra, illustrates the spray of Tuccoa. 1 lie 1 able , mountain in Pendleton district, South Carolina, is an awful precipice of 900 feet. Many per sons reside within five, seven, or ten miles of this grand spectacle, who have neyer had the cuiosity, or taste enough to visit it. It is * now however occasionally visited by curious travellers, and sometimes by men of science. Very few persons who havoooce cast a glimpse into tho almost boundless abyss, can again ex ercise sufficient fortitude to approach tbe mar gin of the chasm. Almost every one, in look ing over, involuntarily falls to the ground. Senseless, nerveless, arui helpless,; and would inevitably be pcecipitnted and dashed to atoms, were it not for measures df caution and securi ty, that’have always been deemed imli3p hie to a .safe indulgence of the curiosity < visitor or spectator. Every one on proceeding to the spot whence it is usual to gaze ovet 1 wonderful deep, has in his imagination a hm'- tatmn, <rn luated by a reference to distune s with which his eye lias been familiar.

IIYDROPIK >IMA- The last number of the J ournal of Health has this paragraph: “it has long been our opinion Ilia* two-thirds, at least, of the eases reported ns hydrophobia, in the human subject, were either instances oil tcraiuis, or disease of the nervous system,[ produced entirely by the influe.nee of the ima gination. The most singular instance of purely j imaginary hydrophobia, occurred, a few years since, at Guy’s Hospital, in London, which places, in a clear light, the dreadful effects pro duced upon the body, by tlie mind, when strong ly impressed with fear or horror. The case to which we refer occurred in the person of Sam- j uel Rufiles, the head waiter at Dover Castle j Inn, Lambeth, lie was brought to the hospialj laboring under every symptom usually describ ed us presenting itself in hydropobm. He foam ed at the mouth, yelped and harked like a dog, and, on water being presented to him, he was immediately attacked with repeated spasmodic convulsions, of the most violent character. lie was immediately bled copiously by means of cups; n most strict examination was then made to ascertain whether there were any wounds or j scars abouj his body, which might have been | occasioned by the bite of an animal; but, after the minutest search, none were discovered. By pursuing the ‘soothing system’ lie was entirely relieved, und in a few days was suffered to re turn to lus family, llis attack was attributed by liis medical attendants to tlie effects ot ex-i Ireme fear and horror, occasioned by his liav-j ing read an of hydrophobia, in which, a short lift injection of water into the veins had been practised,, without effect, the patient dying iu the most hor rible agony.” ’i)OM I' ST!

A battle, has lately been fought It at Nacogd oches, betweeu the pitizens of Texas and tiff i soldiers under the command of Col.

There were not morl than 260 citizens, young and old, altogether without discipline or experience- They were com manded by Col. Bullock. The gained a decided victory. The Soldiers retreated du ring the succeeding night,in thcdirection ofthe River Angelina. They were past'd by a small party of the citizens. Only about nineteen of • this little band, under the eoiuiimnd of Capt. ! Bradshaw, and adjutant Laney, formerly a iioii !commissioned Officer in the United States Ar- I my, placed themselves in front of the retreat ing Soldiers, behind trees, on the bank of the River opposite the Ford. They as the enemy approached opened a severe fire upon them which lasted for fifteen minutes. They rc j turned without loosing a man. This battle of only 19 men against 285, terminated the con j test. j It is said that most of the Officers, with the I exception of Col.

A Correspondent has politely furnished us with the annexed account of an unusually bright arch, which was observed in tie heavens ! on the evening of Thursday last weei. CELESTI AL PHENOMENON. On Thursday evening, 23d inst. a few min jutes past ten, a phenomenon of rather rare oc currence, was presented to the view (jf those who were so fortunate us to be abroad at that hour. ’ About 20minutes past 10, an afeli ot light was seen extending from tho eastern point of the horizon, to the zenith. In its form and the color of its light, it closely resembled tho nar rowing portion ofthe nulky-way. Its breadth was about 5 degrees and uniform, until near its j termillation in tlie zenith, where it expanded itself and became Wended with the light of the galaxy. It rose foin the horizon in a due east direction, gently mrviiig towards the south, un- Itil it attained an < lovation of 29 or 21 degrees, whence it stretched in a straight line to the ze nith. On its first appearance the light was whitish, as the diffused light which remains a short dis tance above our western horizon two or three hours after sunset. The smaller stars were visible through it as through the ordinary Au rora Borealis, and the appearance of the larger was scarcely changed. It seemed to ho collect in') additional matter from every point of the heavens within llie range of its attractive inllu encc. It did not remain the same for a mo ment. Tlie light became condensed, the belt was consequently narrowed, until at half past h>, ten minutes from its first appearance, it was reduced to a narrow strip, no more than .1 or 2 degrees in width. Its position too, whs a little different —the base was still due oast, but the curvature was considerably increased by the inclination of the curve towards tit south per haps 10 degrees. It row presented a most interesting appear ance, and to the superstitious would have no doubt afforded a fruitful subject for alarming speculation. Its color was now reddish, like the deeper tints of a summer evening’s sunset lines. Tho smaller stars could no longer be discerned through its substance, nnd the larger ones were dimly seen. A feeble tremulous motion wns perceptible throughout its whole extent, as if it were violently agitated, but at too great distance for its motions to be distinct ly visible. The planet Jupiter, \vh:vh was about 15 degs. south assumed a peculiar appear ance. His light was diminished, while Ins disk was apparently enlarged by n nebulous misty light, in which he was enveloped.—The whole eastern heavens were divided into nearly equal portions by this hell of light colored flame, whose splendor contrasted with the deep blue, ofthe sky on either side, increased tlie brillian cy of any stars ofthe first magnitude which de corate the constellation Adromeda, Casstpeia and Pegasus. Pensacola, Aug. 25. The Weather. —For tlie last three or four weeks we have had rain almost continually. On the 16th and 17th we had heavy winds and gales from the North and North East, which did but little damage in this city, but which further cast was very severe, and occasioned almost a total loss of the crops. A friend from Alaqna writes under date of the 17th, on the morning of that day it blew a hur ricane prostrating almost all the timber on liis plantation, and leaving not a stock of corn stand ing. We have heard of no deaths or injuries to persons in that neighborhood. The mail rider we learn gave glowing accounts ol the des- Iruclion of crops on Holms’ Valley. As the gale was very light westward of this place, it may be inferred that its power was expended on the Atlantic const, and we fear accounts will soon reach us from the cast of serious and ex tensive damage. ✓ The salubrity of New-Orleans at the present advanced state of the season, is altogether un precedented, if we except last summer. Noth ing like a prevailing epidemic has yet been spoken of, and the: number of deaths for a mouth past, from uy and all causes, has been comparatively few.

From Santa Martha he departed on the 20th for Bar auqiiitliT and Carthagena, and from Carthagena for Bogota on the 31st, visiting all the interme diate places. At Mompon lie intended to take the steam boat Liberator for Ocana, and thence’ proceed to Cuouta, the place of his birth. lie did not probably reach Bogota till the middle of August or later. At Santa Martha, Baran quilla,” Carthagene, and all the towns in the ! vicinity, he Was recived with a degree of cordi- j aljity, and even enthusiasm, which must have ) been extremely gratifying to his feelings. In , all those places it was a continual scene of re joicing. He was addressed by the most re spectable ofthe inhabitants with many eloquent speeches, prepared for tlie occasion, and he was hailed by all as the President elect of New Grenada, as the father of his country, the pro tector of the lawn, and the oldest and firmest friend to Liberty. At the numerous parties mid balls, many appropriate toasts were given mid returned. On all these occasions, Gen. Santander conducted himself towards lus form er opponents in-euch a manner as to gain their respect and confidence. Napoleon Pierre L. Bonaparte (a nephew of Napoleon the Great) who had joined Gen.

IN the month nf May, u man by the name of YOUNG MILTON WILSON, came to this city, Savannah, as agent for the Aletliodi. * society in St. Augustine, for the purpose of col lecting money to build a parsonage house in that place, lit* passed fora regularly licensed preacher iu the M. E. Church and repeatedly exhibited a written testimonial to that rflb.-'t which has since proved to be a base forgery. Having first deceived the good people of St. Augustine it became easy for him through their recommendation to deceive the churches in Sa vannah, Augusta, and Charl /ston, ill all of which places ho made collections to a considetabio amount. In Savannah ho got about one hun dred and seventy dollars: from Savannah by went to St. Mary’s, where he became ac quainted with a young Indy of respectability, to whom he was married in a short time. From St. Marys he went to the Sawanc Springs,.in E Florida, where he remained for sometime ; in the mean time his statements as regarded his success in collecting were various, lie made no return of monies collected to, the pursons who employed him, and when ho was called to an account by the Rev. Mr. Simons, the Method ist Missionary to St. Augustine, Ire, (Wilson) stated that lie had collected only sixty dollars, and presented a bill for travelling expences to a much larger amount. But on finding that Mr. Simons was in possession of evidence as to the amount received in Savannah, he stated that he had returned tlie amount to the individual from whom 111* received it. Those circumstances led to ft farther investigation of his character, anil tho result is as follows: “ In 1828 or 1829, Wilsbn was an exhorter in tho Methodist Church; iu 1830 he was expelled from tho church for the following charges, (viz.) selling goods on the Sabbath, drinking, swearing, fighting, gambling with cards, and dealing far r#, Horse-racing Ac. In the character of hus band he is represented as lazy and improvident. When he came to this section of country, (Ala bama) ho stated that his wife was dead, but rumour said, and it is confirmed by the letters now before me that he left liis wife and two or three children. The gentleman, (A. Jaekson)from whose let. ter the above extract is taken is a member ofthe Methodist Church in Alabama, and seems to have taken all the care in collecting the history of this man which lus infamy merits. For fur ther information, as regards Wilson, Mr. Jack son refers to Casper Howell,and Frederick ’ Ledbetter, of Upson county, Ga. j Iu all onr acquaintance with men we have scarcely known an instance of greater depravity. Wilson is about five feet eleven inches in height, has rather dark, tho’ not black, blue eyes, and about twenty six or eight years of age, he is plausible m his nppearence and conver sation, though often guilty in his most wary mo ments of such imprudences as would lead the judicious and sensible to suspect that he was an impostor.
