Soon after m irriage, she told him, that they mast have a good log house, like ihe whites. Whool says To ne-wa, big house no good land he flouted, and flung, like a bad school boy under correc'ion. But the Indians were soon collected, to

Whoo! says To-ne-wa. Me no loVe work, like pale fa:e. Me love hunt bear, hunt buffalo. B it To ne-wa was soon in this city, ma king a trade for five hundred nursery j apple trci-i, and he was directly sur - j rounded with fences, and his house was in the centre of a fine large corn field. To-ne-wa, as had been his wont in former days, was overtaken with drunkenness; and he, who feared no other thing, or being in the universe, appeared before his wife, as a thieving apprentice com si

To-ne-wa got drunk upon his . .i i .t . i v humour in the case, and threatened Je mi ma; but her noe never was curved more inflexibly. She called him drunken brute, and asked him, if he thought, that she would allow her dear Jacob to be raised like a beast, as he was. Whoo! says To-ne-wa, you are heap medicine;' you what pale face call she devil. But young Jacob was sent to the missionaries at the Mdume rapids. Nothing could prove more conclusively, that the power of commanding is a gift, and knows how to enforce its claims upon one rac , as, well as another. It was like making a squaw of the fierce warrior, to part with Mock-e-wagh. The parting extorted tears from him, and the gust of sorrow might have ended in ill temper, if the mother had not pushed off her son. Whoever goes that way now, sees a snug log house, large fields, a neat apple orchard, bending with fruit pear, peach, and plum treesj and live or six children, dressed neatly after the Amer ican fashion. They are all instructed; and it is a sight, to cheer a good man's heart, to see them sitting of a sabbath evening, one above another, according to their ages, with their bible, or spelling book in their hands; and To-ne-wa every where boasts, that his pappooses read better than those of the white about him; and it is a question, whether Jacob shall become a lawyer, or a minister. The husband himself has become, in some sense, a civilized man, and a convert to our ways. It is not two years, since To-nc-wa's ivife was seen in this city, with a two horse wagon, and a tidy looking half blood hoy, with his switch in hand, to keep olT marauders from the wagon. She was loaded with cranberries and maple sugar to the market. Some of the people, as is their wont, turned over the sugar, curving their noses, and curling their lip a little, and asked, if it was clean? Jemima answered with a still sharper curve. Whoo! let your squaw come and see me, and I will learn her any day, to keep a clean house. Mr. Jose de Aranjo, chargp d' affaires from Brazil, was presented to the president on the 31st ult. Attempt at shaving. Three foreigners being hard pushed, carried three cases covered with matting, as if containing French goods, on board the schooner Diana, bound to Philadelphia; and r presenting the contests to be worth about ,9500, solicited the captain to make them the small loan of 30. The captain not being exactly Yorkshire, but being up to trap, hesitated, and by some means had the cases opened. One contained square blocks of pine wood, and the others pine shavings, well put up. The jokers finding it 'mo go," made ofF. Pen knives. An establishment has been commenced is Worcester, Mass. for the manufacture of pen knives. It employs fifty men; and the knives, in wormanship and quality, are equal to t lose made in England. The Saratoga Sentinel of 1 1th August, states, thai the number of strangers who arrived in that village, during the week ending on the 9th inst. were estimated at upwards of i,100. The whole number of visiters at this watering place U estimated at 1,600. Mr. Barbour, our late minister at the court of St. James, has been presented by the university of Oxford, with the deprfie of L. L. D. He appears to be highly esteemed by the learned and scienlilic societies-. jYiles.

The excitement had not ceased, and the most frightful disorders were btill perpetiated. Lord Castlereajih has been elected knight of the shire for the county of - Down. "After the election, says the London Courier, the ceremony ol 'chairing took place, during which his lordship liberally scattered among the populace great quantities of silver." A report prevails that Mr. Huskisson has been invited to return to the ministry, and that a treaty ofcommeice with all, except upon the assurance that France shall, as to its wines, be put upon the same looting as Portugal, and thai at least one half of the duty shall be taken otf French brandies.

A captain Dickenson, who distinguished himself iu the battle of Navari uo, and received a large number of honorary orders, is about to be tried for lose ing hi- mizeo m st in the battle, and not having a sufficient spring upon his cables! Russia and Turkey. We have no fur ther particulars feinting to the fall of Sihstria, but an impression prevailed that the event would induce the sultan to listen favorably to the negociations for peace, to effect which the amba-sa dors arrived at Constantinople on the 24th of June; the people appeared much gratified at this event, and predicted a favorable result to the mission. They had not as yet had any formal confer ence with the reis efiendi, but it was un derstood that the porte would not treat on the basis of the protocol signed at the foreign office in London, and would ob ject to the article which required the extension of the boundaries of Greece to the gulphs of Volo and Arto. The London Standard of the 17th ult. says that the king of Prussia had appoint ed an extraordinary ambassador to pro ceed immediately to Constantinople to assist the o'her ambassador in bringing about a peace in the cast. After the victory of 1 1th June, the em peror of Russia it i said, addressed a diplomatic note to all the European cabinets, to reassure them of his intentions, and protesting his desire to make peace with 1 urkey as soon as that government' should have satisfied the iust nVmW IHp R.ii.nn rahinnt. the Russian cabinet.

The emperor, it is said, will repair to the head quarters of the victorious general. We learn from the Aug-burgh Gazette, "that 'he grand vizier is collecting all the troops he can at Choumla, and hopes to be able to assemble 40,000 men without weakening the garrison. All the men able to bear arms have departed for the Balkan; the Turks admit that the number of men and the artillery lot by them in the battle of the 11th, was very considerable. Some persons still flatter themselves with the hope of 1 1 y ... peace, and speaK ot agents having been sent to the Russian camp. Ali Pacha, it appears, was killed in the battle of the 11th. The captain pacha has not yet returned from the Black sea." The Ga zette gives another letter from Constan tinople of the same date, which says "The grand vizier returned to Choumla after the battle of 11th June with 6000 men, of cavalry, and 12,000 infantry. The Mussulmans, thrown into consternation by the first intelligence of the defeat, resumed courage when they learned that the mass ofthe army had returned into the camp. It was also represented to them that the loss of the Russians was very considerable. A later arrival says the grand vizier has not been able to "reorganize his army, and that of 40,000 men, scarcely 15,000 remained; the soldiers taking advantage ofthe defeat to return to their homes. A Russian detachment under maior general Burzoff, recently defeated a onsiderable force undor the command of

Achmet Khan. The battle took place near the village ofTsurtskab. Constantinople, June 10. The Turkish fleet, much damaged, returned to Bu-

jukdere on the 29th ult. having, on the 27th of that month, met and engaged a division of the Russian one. It appears, however, that the Turkish gunpowder was found damp, and made no impression on their enemv, and therefore the (captain pacha prudently availed himself of the northerly winds, that fortunately -prevailed, to limit himself merely to a running fight, and thus sve his whole fleet. On his arrival at Bujukdere he sent in his resignation, which was not received, but a strong ai d energetic investigation was ordered regarding this suspected high treason; and on the 6th inst. a Turkish grandee was taken up, and on the nf xt day was decapitated at Bob Jumahy, the gate of the imperial palace, a place where only criminals for high treason are executed, and therefore everybody is of opinion, the nature of his crime not having transpired, that he was! one of those concerned in the gunpow der plot. 1 he 1 urkish fleet, aiter re

same captain pacha, and e ery body's attention is again engaged in the ap proaching event of the fleets meeting We hear of the opening of the campaign by general Paskewitsch, of a new revolt in Arabia, which engrosses all -he attention of the pacha of Egypt. We hear of fresh troubles in Bosnia, and it would not be surprising if we should hear that Servia had risen in favor of the Rihlans. On the other hand, it a; pears that the plague, which had manifested itself at Gallez, has snread into Aiabia, tnd even to Odessa. It prevails in the camp of Choumla, at Sophia, and insevral villages on the banks of the llebrus. The country of Thrace presents one vast scene of desolation, most of the vil lages are destroyed or deserted, the innahitants having fled to the towns or the mountains. By letters dated Bucharest, 25th May, it is stated that the accumulation of wounded and sick of the Rusrian army at Biailia, Thirsova and K tllaiasch was very great. The epidemic, which has xisted for some time, was still raging. The physicians had not yet been able to agree upon its character, all that they had as yet done, being only in the way of experiment. The reduction of Choumla is spoken of; but it appears to be an almost impregnahle fortress, and theattenpt would cause a great loss of life. Greece. The president of Greece had called a meeting of the members of the Panhellenium for the purpose of communicating to them the protocol signed in London. He had also issued a decree for the convocation of the national assembly, which was to be held at Argos on the 13th of July. It had been doubted whether the president intended to convene this assembly. Theacts of capitulation of Missolonghi and Auatolica, signed May 14, and of Lepanto signed April 23, are published at length. By the former it was stipulated that the Turkish families in the two places should be transported by sea Willi tneir enects, to bayada or rrevesa,

Geological plienomena. Some months since, in the act of boring for salt water, on the land, of Mr. Lemuel Stockton, situate in the county of Cumberland, Kentucky, a vein of pure oil was struck, from which it is almost incredible what quantities of the substance issued. The discharges were by floods, at intervals from 2 to 5 minutes, at each flow vomiting forth many barrels of pure oil. I witnessed myself, on a shaft that stood upright by the aperture in the rock from which it issued, marks of the oil twentyfive orthiity feet perpendicularly above the rock. These floods continued for S or 4 weeks, when they subsided to a constant stream, affording many thousand gallons per day. This well is between a quarter and a half mile from the bank of Cumberland river, on a small hilldown which it runs to the river. It was traced as far down the Cumberland as Gallatin, in Sumner county) nearly 500 miles for many miles it covered the whole surface ofthe river, and its marks are now found on the rocks on each bank. About two miles below the point at which it touched the river, it was fired by a bov and the effect is said to have been grand beyond description. An eld gentleman who witnessed it, says, he has seen several cities on fire, but that he never beheld any thing like the flames which rose from the bosom ofthe Cumberland to touch the very clouds, (hisown words.) The oil has a very strong scent, and was, while it issued in great quantities, smelt at the distance of 5 or 6 miles above its entrance into the river.' The odour is disagreeable to all persons who have inhaled it, except three, two others and myself. The oil is so very penetrating, that no

barrels which could be procured retain

ed it perfectly. Some few barrels were filled and put into the ground. They have caulked the aperture in the rock, in order to procure what remains, but it is feared the harvest is over. jYashviile Banner, Treasury Circulars. The following circulars have been addressed by tin treasury department to the collectors of the customs. CIRCULAR. To the collectors of customs supple mentary to the instructions of the I9ih September, 1828. Treasury, department, August 8, 1829. There being some diversity in the practice at di tie rent ports, in computing the allowance or deduction of five per ct. thich it is the usage of trade to make on broad cloths, it is deemed propel to establish a uniform mode by a general instruction. It is understood that this deduction is made in the first instance by the manufacturer, for the shrink of the cloth, after the measurement at the manufactory. taken from the quantity alone. But, as the deduction is founded up on the facts, that the manufacturers' measure will not hold out, and this is an average agreed upon between the man ufacturer &l merchant, to ascertain with convenience the true measure of cloth, it j is not to be allowed at the custom house in any case, where it is ascertained that the fact on which the usage has been founded has been disregarded in making out the invoie. And, whenever the ac tual measurement of a package of broad cloth shall equal or exceed the measure stated in the iuvoice, (exi lusive of the deduction), the measurement of such package must be the rule for all those of the same description in the tame invoice w ithout deduction. If the owner or consignee shall object to this average upon other packages, the appraiser will at his request, cause such other packages to betxamined, and the whole charged according to the same rule. S. D. INGHAM. Secretary of the treaeurv, Samuel Swartwout, collector, New Yoik. Treasury department, July 20, 1829. Inconsequence of some irregularities which have recently taken place, in reyard to the employment of subordinate ' flicers in some ofthe collection districts, it is deemed proper to state, for the information of the collectors generally, that no subordinate officers ofthe customs can be removed or appointed with out the approbation of the secretary of the treasury previously obtained . When the removal of any such oflicer is thought necessary, the collector will report the same to the secretary, with his reasons; and will, at the same time, nominate the person whom he desires to employ in his stead; and, on receiving the secretary's approbation, he will proceed to adminis ter the necessary oath, and the onicer will then be legally qualified to entei upon the duties of his office. Compen sation cannot be allowed until these re quisitions are complied with; and cannot, in any case, commence before the date ofthe oath When additional officers are thought neceseary, the collector will report fully to the secretary, the grounds of such necessity, and the rate of such compensation proper to be allowed. After he has received the secretary's approval of the proposed increase, he will nominate the person whom he desires to employ, and will pursue the same course as is above prescribed. Where the urgency of the case requires that the employment of an oflicer be discontinued before the special sanction of the secretary can be obtained, the collector will suspend the oflicer, and report the case to the secretary for approval. (Signed) S. D. INGHAM, Secretary of the treasury. Attempt to Bribe. The New York Courier ofthe 1 1 th inst says, a passen- . mm ger in me l.opernicus, lately arrived from London, attempted to bribe one the inspectors, by slipping four sovereign into his hand, and saying "that is the amount of the duties on my property, you need not trouble y ourself to examine it." The inspector told him that, "sovereigns did not go in this country,1 much to his astonishment. A complaint has been made to the police, who have taken the matter in hand. From the PotaivQtlimic and Miami Times. August 8, 1829. LOGANSPORT is situated near the centre of Cass county, (which was formed by an act ofthe last General Assembly,) on the point of land between the Wabash and Eel rivers, about 4 1 deg. of N. latitude, and about 70 miles from the north line ofthe state, 65 from the west, and 85 from the east line, at the point where the road from Lake Michi gan to Indianapolis intersects the line of the Canal, which is to connect the waters of Lake Erie with the Wabash. By the.

line of the Michigan Road it is 60 miles

north to the St. Joseph river, (a navigable stream of Lake Michigan,) G9 south to Indianapolis, the seat of government of the stale. Lafayette is 43 miles southwest, and Fort Wayne 80 northeast. This town is surrounded by a large tract of fertile land; on the south side of the Wabasb, and between the Wabash and Eel rivers, the country is thickly covered with black and white walnut, sugar, beech, cherry, hickory, elm, and an abundance of oak, with s me poplar: on the north side ofthe. Wabash and west ol Eel river, the country is principally prairie, Lime and free stone of an t xctllent quality, aie found in this country, and it is believed to be as well watered, with never failing springs, as an) part of the United States. By an examination made by capt. Smith, of the United States Engineers with a view to the selection ot a site for an armory on the western waters, there has been found to be near 20 feet fall in the first two milts of the Wabash above the mouth of E1 river; and upwards of 20 feet fall in the first mile of Eel river above its junction with the Wabash, affording abundant water power for all purposes that may be required. On the latter there is a saw mill erected which cuts S000 feet of lumber in a day,& yet it cannot supply the demand of the citi zens; another saw however will be star ted in a few days. This town was commenced about one year ago, and is improving rapidly. At present it contains between 50 and 60 buildings, many of which are frame, and some brick, about 200 inhabitants, 4 stores, 3 taverns, 8 carpenters, 1 gunsmith, 2 blacksmiths, 2 tailors, 2 thot makers, 2 cabinet makers, 2 brick layers, 2 stone masons, 3 plasterers, 1 house and sign paiyter, 1 chair maker, 1 saddler, I halter, 1 bakt r, 2 biitk makers, 1 coop er, a doctor, a liwyer, a semii.ar) , a masonic lodge, and a printing tfiice. The Indian Agency, from which is disbursed annually ,w from 60 to 100,000 dollars, is also in the vicinity of this place. In short no town has started with fairer prospects of becoming a place of business. Nnthirg is now wanting hot the state and the United States to fctll their land, and let the farmers possess themselves of it, and this place will soon become the most desirable part of the state of Indiana. The seat of justice of Cass county is not yet located. The commissioners appointed for that purpoge, will meet here on Monday next, and there is no doubt but it will be established at this place. The proceedings of the commissioners will be given in the next number Miami Indians. This nation is about 900 strorg, and are settled principally on the Mis?issinawa, Salamonia, Upper Wabash and Eel rivers, in this state: it is divided into tribes or parties, each of which have their village chief; this chief commonly accompanies his party on hunting excursions, &c. A few weeks ago, some of these people, from two parties, met at a trading house, about 18 miles from this place. An old grudge had existed between these parties, in conse quence of a man belonging to one of them having been killed by a warrior of the other in 1823. The offender was present, and the effect of whiskey loosened his tongue; he began to boast of what he had done, and to threaten what he would do, when two warriors present, of the other party, 6hot him and his companion, and left the place and returned to their village. The n Lt day ten warriors, of the party to which the two last killed belonged, repairing to the village ofthe other party, in search of the two murderers, and finding but one of them at his wigwam, killed the warrior and his squaw. The agent repaired to their village, summoned a council, and put a stop to their murders. He informed the Indians that they had transgressed our law, as the murders were committed on our lands, and should the civil authority demand the murderers, he should notify their chiefs who would be compelled to surrender them, to be tried and hanged according to the white man's law. Thus has this matter ended; there is no judging to what extent it would have spread, had it not been for the interference of ofjthe agent, as the squaws and children of both parties, were sent to the agent's re sidence, and the warriors armed and threatening to take revenge. Although these sons of the forest have many combats among themselves, they never attempt to interrupt the citizen?, unless they take a part in their quarrels. Reported Assassination. A report has reached this place, by way of .New Orleans, that Mr. Poinsett, our Minister to Mexico, has been assassinated. We hope it may prove incorrect, though credit was attached to the report at N. O. The pensacola Gazette of Aug. 3 also contains the rumor, received from Vera Cruz via Trinidad by the U. S. Schooner Shark, Lieut. Voorhees. JV Rep. James Pig cautions the public, in a Tennessee paper, not to trust his wife Betsy. It seems, by this, that Betsy did not like "the whole hog.n lb
