George Birk, who was lately committed to

day, in the circuit court now sitting for this

At the time of the passage of the act in
corporating "the Louisville and Portland
Canal Company," we w ere of opinion that
the work, so long under consideration, both
"by this state and that of Kentucky, (that o
making a canal round the falls of Ohio,)
would be entered into with spirit and soon
brought to a final conclusion. But how
mistaken! The season is now far advanced
and nothing worth mentioning has yet been
done; not even an earnest is given that any
thing of importance will be performed nex year. The act authorizing the cutting o
the Ohio canals, was passed subsequent to
that incorporating the Louisville and Port
land canal company; now mark the contrast
The Ohio canal commissioners have com
pleted several miles of canal, while the com
pany at Louisville have barely made a location, if that, to see where it might be cut or made. It does not require a knowledge of the occult science to account for this disposition to procrastinate the work: Of the gentlemen who compose the company, the greater part reside in or contiguous to Louisville; they feel a lively interest in w hatever tends to the advancement of that place; they have calculated what elfect the opening of the canal would have upon it the result was unfavorable. The money which is annually expended in that place for drayage, storage, Sec. would, in that event, pass her and be distributed in other places. These considerations have acted paramount, and rencounter to every liberal and generous feeling; they have set at naught the received opinion, that the advantages enjoyed by
the few, are to be given up, in a certain de
gree, for the good of the many. Were the
Legislature of Kentucky to pass a law re
quiring every man, who trades up and down the Ohio, to pay to the citizens of Louisville
a certain sum for their special benefit, (he)'
would rise up en masse and declare such a law tyrannical and oppressive. The name
is what makes this great disturbance, for it cannot be denied that under another colour
the people of Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Kentucky, and Indiana, annually pay this
tribute, and that too almost without a murmur. To be sure the payment is, what
some would call, optional; that is, they may
or may not pay it; but necessity soon dictates a choice: there is the barrier it must be got over or round, cost what it may. This is the tribute optional, which every one who passes the falls in a low stage of water, with
goods, produce, &c. has to pay. Means for
the removal of this barrier are in the hands of the company they are ample and sufficient they are subscriptions by individuals who feel anxious that the work should prosperbut that they will be employed in consonance with this wish, appears, to us, somewhat doubtful. Let them sec to it; let the people, who arc interested, see to it; and most sincerely do we hope, that when the subject again comes before our Legislature, they will sec to it, and do the best for the interest of the slate.
New-Albany, Sept. 24.
We perceive that our fellow citizens of
Wayne, Franklin, Fayette, Dearborn, Union and Allen counties are in ijood earnest about the White-Water-Canal, from Fort 1 ayne to the Ohio river, at Lawrcnceburg. They have authorized their Commissioners to procure an engineer from the eastward, and take such other measures as arc calculated to facilitate the work. The gentlemen engaged in the above work, deserve much praise for their indefatigable dili-
ence and perseverance. How unlike a

The Mails. We are now favored with a
dailv eastern mail, which is a great addition
al tacihtv to the mercantile community, as
well as those whose business requires speed)'
remissions of money by mail. Could an ar
rangement be made to expedite the mail be
tween this city and Louisville, we are conn
dent it would be of much importance to the
twro places. The mail on this route requires
four days from Cincinnati to Louisville, a
distance by land ot little more than an nun
dred miles. 1 he same number oi miles is
travelled in a day and a half on the eastern
line. We think this is a subject worthy the
attention of the Postmaster General, especi
ally as the western mail is of considerable
importance. Would not an additional wes
tern mail be advantageous both to the de partment and to our citizens? We think i
would, if it passed through this place, Law

dav evening last, (being the last day of Sept
term of the Harrison circuit court,) the jurv
empannelled to try Isaac I. Desha, for the
murder of r rancis Uaker, brought in a ver
diet of guilty. We learn further, that im

made known, the counsel of Desha prayed a new trial, on the ground of informality in
the indictment the counsel for the com

The governor of Kentucky is loudly called upon in the newspapers of that state, to convene an extra session of the legislature, on the ground that the opinion of the people on the question of the new Court of Appeals has been clearly expressed by the result of
the recent elections. The object is to have
the old Court restored, the judges of which were not constitutionally removed. At pre
sent, the new judges draw their salaries, and
the old ones cannot be refused theirs, if they claim them; consequently that state is liable for the expenses of two courts, without

A very interesting fact has recently been mentioned on this subject in a memoir presented to the Academy of Science, by M. Costa. In the presenc e of that learned assembly, 31. Costa, who is of opinion, supported by Messrs. Lassis and Lasserre, that the yellow fever is not contagious, has made a proposition which proves how strongly he is convinced of the truth of the cause he sustains. He desires 1st that the Minister for the Interior should give orders to have brought from the Antilles, where the yellow fever generally rages, clothes belonging to the persons who may have fallen victims to that disease; 2d. that these clothes should be deposited in jars, hermetically sealed and sent to 3Iarseilles, or some other parts; and lastly, that individuals in perfect health should clothe themselves in these habiliments, and wear them for forty days, under the most strict superintendence of a
commission, composed of those physicians
who may be most convinced ot the doctrine
of contagion. Well aware of the difficulty
of finding men disposed to go through this experiment, and desirous to show his agree-
meni in me opinion oi ur. cassis, lie proposes himself, along with Dr. Lasserre, to be the objects of the experiment. Journal Des Debats.
The Southern papers mention z report,
which we have reason to believe well founded, that the Governor of Georgia has demanded, of the Executive of the Union, the
irrest and trial of General Gaines, for al-
eged violation of the articles of war. The
article of war supposed to be alluded to is
he tilth, which is in the following words: "Any officer or soldier who shall use con
temptuous or disrespectful words against the President of the United States, against the
Vice President thereof; against the Con-! gress of the U. States, or against the Chief
Magistrate or Legislature of any of the U.
States, in which he maybe quartered, if a commissioned officer, shall be cashier
ed, or otherwise punished, as a Court 3Iar-
tial shall direct: if a non-commissioned offi
cer or soldier, he shall suffer such punish-
ishment as shall be inflicted on him by the sentence of a Court Martial." JVat. Int.

Brick buildings. It is not generally
known, that brick buildings expand and
contract with the atmospherical changes of
temperature. A series of experiments were carried on some years ago to investigate
this fact, and the building was found to alter
its form as the sun advanced; even a slight
shower of rain produced a sensible effect.-
As the different parts of buildings are seldom at the same tempearture,this continual heaving and settling must materially accelerate their decay.

We acknowledge the receipt of Holla's friendly epistle. We are truly sorry that the ''miss-printing, rnisfiguring. and disgracefully mangling," by us, has so disfigured his last piece (the ''Forest Flower) that he don't know it! We assure bim it is the same, with very little deviation from the original. The errors alluded to by 'miss-printing, as they were unintentional, wo will here correct: The iifth line, in the first stanza, should read 'And tho' its home is rude and wild,' The third line, in the second stanza, should read 'Thou'rt doom'd to hide tby lonely face. The other part of his letter we shall take no notice of at present, tho its contents dictate a very different course. We have too much respect for the character of a gentleman, ever to assail it unrighteously; and too much respect for ourselres, knowingly, to interfere with any other. Should our poet still conceive himself aggrieved by the depredations committed on his 'Forest Flower,1 he can "call at" our "office and" he "shall have" such satisfaction as he may deserve.
