FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1825.

The result of the election for governor in

a number of counties is yet unknown to us; but from every information received, there

is no doubt that Mr. Ray has succeeded by

a considerable majority. In 40 counties,

Itf r. Ray has 3401 votes over Mr. Blackford. The amount of votes given to each in the several counties, will be published so soon

as it is ascertained correctlv.

route, &.C.; which will be done by subscrip

ion or donation.

It would be insulting the good sense of

our readers, to attempt, by any argument of

ours,to convince any one of the practicability

of making a canal along the White-Water, or to enumerate the many great advantages

which will result from its completion; all ap

pear fully persuaded that the wTork can be

accomplished, and that too with the means

within the reach of our citizens. All that is

wanting is energy a determination to per

form; and these, we are inclined to believe,

are not wanting in reality. Let erch put

his shoulder to the wheel, and then, like the

wagoner praying to Hercules, ask for help,

and it will be given, if necessary.

Greece. Every mail brings us fresh ac

counts of the rapid progress of the Greeks

in the cause of liberty. Many of their re

ccjit victories have, truly, been of a brilliant

character; and for which, we can only find

a parallel in the glorious achievements of

their ancestors. Who that has perused the

history of ancient Greece, has not admi

red the valour of her sons? Who, that

has read, in the pages of history, of that he

roic band of three hundred Spartans, who so nobly sacrificed their lives at Thermopylae, upon the shrine of Liberty, has not paused to contemplate with wonder, their

unparalleled courage and s-elf-devotedness?

And who, that has watched, with an eye o

philanthropy, the many movements of the Greeks, in their recent struggles in the same

great cause, has rrot felt his bosom burn with enthusiasm, at the rehearsal of every battle fought and victory won, and that does

not listen with mingled feelings of satisfac

tion and delight, to the recital of the glori ous deeds of her modern heroes.

Although Greece has for centuries reposed in, the cradle of obscurity, and has been

doomed to the lowest depths of national degradation ; she has at length awoke from her lethargic slumbers, and is fast emerging from oblivion's night, to take her stand among the nations of the earth, and add another brilliant constellation to the bright galaxy of the modern world. Already is the Archipelago covered with her victorious fleets ! Already has the clans: of arms and the shouts of vietory, been heard from one extreme of the

Morea to the other; and the load clarion of

war has sounded its shrill voice o'er the M gean sea, and made the proud capital of Turkey tremble to its centre. The same love of liberty the same undaunted courage the same patriotic zeal, and self-devotion, which characterized their ancient leaders, now shine conspicuous in the persons of Ni-

cetas, Canaris, Miaulis Bozzaris, nlichalis,

and many more of the distinguished chief

tains in their recent struggle. Again has

Marathon and Platse become the great thea

We are informed that a half mile of the Miami Canal, near Middletown, is completed, and the work on the line between that

place and Cincinnati, is progressing finely.

Rise in the Ohio. The Ohio river commenced rising on Sunday last, and continu

ed gradually to increase until it has arrived

at a sufficient height for its navigation by steam boats of any size. It is supposed to be occasioned by heavy rains at the head of the river.

A Boston paper states, that two hundred and eighty-six new post offices have been established since the last day of January last; and that the receipts of the post office de

partment, the present year, notwithstanding

these and other valuable and expensive im

provements, will be equal if not greater than

the expenditures. Heretofore the expendi

tures of that department exceeded the receipts very considerably. We should not

wish a better comment on the patriotic ex ertions of the present Postmaster General.

Although this place is situated in the

same state, and not two hundred miles dis

tant from New Harmony, on the Wabash,

we are not half so well informed of the pre

sent situation and progressive improvement of that place, as our eastern friends are, ten

or twelve hundred miles distant. The fol

lowing article from the Hartford (Conn.)

Times, is offered in support of the assertion:

"Mr. Owen?s Establishment. It appears

our gay folks, who cannot dance every day, nor eat as many figs and oranges as a cer

tain concavity might contain, will be anxious

to go a harmonizing over the Alleghenies. "The following letter dated 1st of June

was received by a gentleman in Washington, and first published in a new literary work there, entitled the Repository" "Harmony is a perfect garden. We have at present almond, fig, orange, lemon, mulberry, peach, and apple trees, &c. A con-

THE GATHERER.

The Post Office furnishes, perhaps, as good

a criterion as any other for estimating the

activity of business in a large city, in Balti

more, the amount ot postage received on let

ters at the Post Office, for the quarter end

ing in June, was eleven hundred dollars more

than was received for the corresponding quarter last year. In this city, the popula

tion ot which is about 5000, the receipts, lor the last quarter amounted to one thousand six hundred and forty one dollars, which is pretty fair for an inland city. Hartford (Con.) Times.

Messrs. Ebenezer and John Prentis, of

JNew-London, Conn, have invented a machine for mowing, by which a man and a boy, with a horse, will cut as much grass, as six of the best mowers, and cut it as well. The machine has been tested in the pres

ence of a number of gentlemen, and per

forms equally as well on uneven as on even

"In consequence of letters received by the

Captain General, by the brig Philadelphia,

to be got ready to act at any point. Many of the natives show great symptoms of fear;

but 1 apprehend without danger. The

the glory of the Grecian arms! Although

the seeds of distention have been sown in her

ranks, and treachery has raised its hellish front to blast her fair prospects, Greece still appears to rise above all obstacles; and pursues, with unabated ardour, the road to national glory : and while she has no other enemy but the Turk?, she has naught to fear. Clad in the sacred panoply of Justice! inspired by a holy zeal for freedom! ajid allured to action by the God of battles! she wields the sword of destruction with Herculean strength; and hurls, with precision, the shafts of Agamemnon ! And she will pursue her triumphant career, until the last of her

oppressors shall have paid the forfeiture of

their crimes.

The committee appointed by the delegation from the several counties, interested in the contemplated White-Water canal, will meet at the town of Brookville on Monday next, to make the necessary arrangements for carrying into effect the object of their appointment. The first preparatory movement will be to raise funds to defray incidental expenses: such as may be incurred in their progress surveying and locating the

bushels of salt are made daily by boiliner.

Forty-five gallons of the salt spring water make a bushel of salt, while of sea water it requires 300 gallons. In Syracuse between one and two hundred acres of land are covered with vats, in which salt is made by the process of evaporation. Cleaveland, O. July 15. About seven miles of the Canal were put under contract, on Saturday last, at prices even lower, we are informed, than the sections previously let. It was found impracticable to get any more in readiness by the 9th inst. Twenty-one miles are now in the hands of contractors; and it is expected the remainder of the line, from the Portage summit to the Lake, (about 16 miles) will be in readiness the latter part of August, and will

all be let at one time. Herald.

Should the bill ultimately prevail, every commercial nation that has strength and spirit, must appeal to them for redress. It is thought that Steam Boat Boilers are particularly in danger of bursting when the

Clay, Secretary of state after a tedious illness, during which her friends were sometimes flattered with a hope of a speedy recovery. On the morning of her decease, her symptoms very suddenly became alarming, and in a few minutes the last spark of life disappeared, the remains of the deceased were committed to the silent tomb, on Friday afternoon, attended by a large concourse of sympathizing citizens. Bright were Eliza's prospects of earthly happiness; the sun of life's morning, obscured by no cloud, promised a fair and splendid daj; but soon the storm arose, and e'er that morning passed, the feeble bark of life is wrecked, and Eliza has bid a long farewell to all the world calls good or great.
