It may be ingrafted on a bad beart; but is more consonant to a good one. C n ra! Jackson, like most of those who were vhicated in revohUorury time, has enjoyed

RANDOLPH and the SKA CAPTAIN. To the Uditor of the National Guzrtic. Sir; I have seen since my arrival, your notice of Mr. Randolph1 letter in relation to my treatment of him during my hist passage from this port to Liverpool, which letter was so magnanimously published to the injury of an absent man. I have to express my acknowledgments to you for interposing a kind word in mv behalf, until I could speak for myself. This, I now find, in the opinion of my friend, ought to have been done before; hut I assure you it has been omitted entirely because I thought the character of Mr. R. was so well known throughout country , that reply was not necessary. As it has been suggested to me that there !,re many very respectable person?, who, s:10n inr in self-defence the conduct of jp pt mj i)oan) my s,p; N.i sooner had we trained the deck of; l(he g . nt Mvcas(!e, than Mr. lis irri- , , ,ulfP;in fn s!mtv :UtAf : , , ,. 1 table disposition hega ' " ' r , .

It mainli consisted in contradiction, severity, pro ? I j . j - - - -i fanity, vulgarity, and even obscenity; indeed, as regards the latter, such was his language that the tyvo gentlemen passen gers who had their families with them, actually desired me to have a separatr tabl for the ladies in their own cabin, and I was obliged to assure them that if

he did not mend his manners ho should

have another apartment and table for his own private use. Out of such conduct, which was either alienation of mind or influence of drink, grew the ntfair on leek, which he has so generously reques'ed should bo taken and judged hy itself without any irrelevant matter. This relevant matter is nothipc more or less than general abuse of every thing and .very body. It was hi cutom to go upon deck late at night, and there interfere with the discipline of the ship, bv diverting the attention of otlicers, helmsman md watch; a practice which neither master nor passengers, as far as my e.v ;erience goes, will approve; nor, while I am governed by my present views of duty to my owners, mv passengers, and myself, will I permit. On this occasion I politely requested him not to do so,& was treated in the vulgar manner ho has publicly acknowledged. The otlicer of the deck afterwards told me he remained in lie precise position I left him for half an hour with a large hunting knife in his hand; and I was also told that he said in the latlies cabin, that hut for the presence of the officer assd helmsman he would have ripped lh captain up. The general conduct of .Mr. Randolph had become -uch, that I was compelled, for the safety of all on hoard, to make such arrangements, as would prevent him from committing any greater act of violence, -ihould he attempt it; hut I believe he got wind of what was in preparation, for he behaved much better afterwards. I am happy to reflect that I am very well known in his own State, and will trust my character there and elsewhere with perfect confidence. I have been twelve years carrying passengers across the At lantic; and can truly say that Mr. John Randolph of Roanoke, is the first passen ger I ever had a quarrel with on hoard my ship. I will merely add, that all the passe? grrs Tn this occasion (except Mr, a ..... I K.) expressed their desire, on our an ival t Liverpool, to sign a paper declaring i I iei r en 1 1 re satisfaction with my conduct throughout. 1 did not deem it necessary to procure such testimony, hut, for the fact, I confidently appeal to any one cf those gentlemen. Yours respectfull v, S. BALDWIN. From the Vermont Aurora. STATISTICAL VIEW Or THE UNITED STATES. The following is a brief statistical view of the United States. Being somewhat interested in matters of this description, and having devoted much time to the subject, I present it you for publication. A view of the present resources and condition of the United .States is here presented, yvhich must he interesting to every person, on account of the unprecedented accumulation of her wealth and population. The American government ex rciscs dominion over a country more extensive, and one that will support more inhabitants than any other nation upon earth. The sun is four hours in its passage from the time it first shines upon the eastern shores of Maine, until it strikes our waters on the Pacific. It is about four months in nasainc throur-h the latitude of the United States, in her northern Uru southern inclinations. e,nhnrin v- r i; . ti i-r i 1 iiv tj wi 1 11.111111 .i. x lit; iiHiLU lit rniii 1 1 u- 1 1 ir 11 ivn 1 ' i -tnixt.iir,. itimatiog men me improved land at ten dollars per acre, reckoning it at eighty .!m;ill,in imc Unm .

Gir.r. at Waltham Factory. From "Hints to my countrymen," a work re cently published at cw ork, (and attributed, hy some, to the pen of Mr. S. of Stockhridge.) In 1 G2a, there was about four hundred girls employed in it. These girls are generally the daughters of farmers in the -neighboring country ; they earn more money in the cotton mills, than they could elseyvhere. Many marrv; when this takes place they leave the establish ment, hen the business commenced at Waltham, the girls wore made to understand, that the slightest suspicion entertained of the regularity of their con duct, would he the ground of dismissal, and that public opinion in the society, must const itute its law. That if a female was found in company with a man at an unseasonable hour, she would be discharged without further enquiry or proot. Upon one occasion a girl tell under suspicion from having violated this rule: her companions instituted a complaint against her: she came to the superintendant with tears in her eyes averring her innocence: he told her he was sorry for her case, if such w as the fact, but that there was no help for it. Down to the time mentioned in 1825, in a society of four hundred girls, but a single case of gross misconduct ever came to the knowledge of the managers of the institution. Surely, without vain boasting, our country may he proud of a fact like this. We cannot hut deplore the existence of vice any where, and more especially in a country so interesting as hngland, ami when we mention the notorious nroliigacv of the females in the manufacturing establishments in Manchester, it is hut to w arn our countrymen of the necessity of moral and intellectual cultivation, and to teach them that the final and certain prosperity of all institutions, will be found tu have no other basis.

M;l.lr e. 11. (a, t.) Aug, 3. Dear Sir Wc have jut rcceucd in' formation that the Osage Indians have been committing outrages upon some of our citizens, just bejor.u the limits of our country, A party of six men, seme of whom were from Hempstead, having obtained a permit from the commandant at Fort Towson, to go into the buOalo range fur their health, proceeded about two days travel, when ihev discovered Osajres making towards them. At first they determined to give them battle, hut finding the number of Indians about 30 declined a contest, and all retreated except two, who were taken prisoners, and stripped of all their clothing except pantaloons. The Indians also took a pa Ic mule and hors-e, and after abusing the prisoners with blows from their t ma hawks tinned them loose an! let them come heme, hut followed tl.ein to the! Settlements, and stole seme horses. The citizens are now ast -mhlii.g to pursue them to their village, and it is stated that some regular soldiers will go also, to ueti some horses, yvhich were at the same time stolen from the officers at the garlison, It is also stated, that 31ad Bullalo headed the party. In addition to what is stated ahote, wo learn hy the mail carrier from Miller co that the horses were stolen within four miles of Cantonment Towson, and that some of them belonged to officers of that post; and after cemmitting this theft, thd Indians only retreated 12 miles m d en camped for the night in a torn field be longing to one of the citizens of that county.

The establishment of the Janissaries, which has been recently suppressed in the Turkish capital, has displayed, as our readers are aware, a most important part, both during the glory and weakness of the Tuikish power, in extending its greatness or accelerating its decay. I, is true that the Turkish hordes had left their native wilds two centuiies before its creation, and had extended their sway from the heart of Asia to the eastern part of Europe. Like the other barbarians who established themselves on the ruins of Greek and Reman civilization war was their trade, plunder their sup-' port, and massacre or conqest their pride and glory. But like them, too, their empire might have fallen to pieces, and their' military force might have been divided among so many chiefs as to cease to bn
