LATRENCEBUKGH. SATURDAY, NOV. 7, 1829. The Ohio is still in fine stage for navigation, and rising at a good rale. Trade is extending itself rapidly along its wafers, by means of the facilities thus afforded. Peter Derbigny, governor of Louisiana, died at New Orleans on the 7th ult. His death was occasioned by an injury received in jumping from his carriage while the horses were running away. Europe. Late arrivals at New York from London, announce the termination of hostilities between Russia and Tur key. The Alias stales that a treaty of peace has actually been concluded and signed between the contending parties, Jbased on the treaty of Ackerman, with a provision of indemnity to Russia for the expenses of the war. We shall be able next week to give a more detailed account of this important event. New Orleans. The Commercial In telligencer of the 3d ult. says, "our mar ket was never more dull than at present. The weather of late has been boisterous, xvet, and somewhat cool. The health of :tbe city continues to improve, but is still unsafe for those who are unacclimated." Tennessee. Felix Grundy has been elected lothe senate of the United Slates, by the legislature of this state, to fill the place of John II. Eiston, appointed Secretary of war. Land Sales. By reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that the president has ordered the sale of forfeited lands in this state. This step, on the part of the executive, is viewed by many of those who are likely to lose the lands they have been occupying for years past, through the indulgence of Congress, as a horrible pprversion of power. We do not see it in that light, though as little disposed to oppress or injure our fellow men, as the most loud in denunciation of the measure, nsome cases the sale of the lands reverted to the United States, may operate peculiarly hard on our citizens; but this cannot be the case in general. Persons Tvho have held possession of lands 10 or 15 years, and are yet in arrears, we xvould suppose, can have little claims to sympathy or indulgence, if at this day dispossessed for non payment. Indeed the good of the country requires that a more rigid course should be pursued towards land purchasers, that those who are willing and able to improve the lands may have a chance of doing so. There is a considerable portion of the lands in this state held by those who will neither improve them themselves or suffer others to do iL They bold posses si on under the impression that Congress will continue to indulge them, and make little or no exertion to secure the title in their own hands. The expiration of every relief law finds them equally destitute of the means to meet the demands of the government. And so it would be for 20 years to come, if indulged by congress. There must be a windir up of this bu siness some time; and the present is as favorable as any to make a beginning. Wc think, however, that under the cir cumstances, many believing that further time would be given for payment, it would have been better to have extend ed the time of sale a few months longer, that all might have had an opportunity of exerting themselves to redeem theic lands. This we think will yet be done. We would not, however encourage this idea too strongly, but advise delinquents t6 propitiate government by a manful exertion to help themselves. Lazzrenceburgh Mirkel.

The editor of the Agriculturalist, Brookviile, Ind. has forgotten that we lite in the.

The Indiana Palladium gives, vnhnt it supposes to be, an extraordinary a mamoth growt of a Potaloe, weighing two pounds and thirteen ounces. We expect a larger one by nearly one half: and will, in the mean lime, in behalf of the productiveness of the soil in Brookviile and Franklin county, crack the Dearbornites and Lawre nee burghi an s, with a Radish, raised iif the garden of Mr. Samuel Goodwin, of this p!aC, which measures twenty-eight inches in length, girts twenty two and a half inches, and weighs Fourteen pounds plump, down weight. While we wail f-r the mamoth Potatoe. ivp sav in the

- 7 - j - jDoarbomitee, beat this if you can. We'll try shortly. The following ludicrous blunder, we are assured by a friend who reduced it writing, was committed during meeting service in a thriving town not 50 miles from Louisville. Original Anecdote. A lay preacher, of the Campbelltonian f.iith, in the course of one ot his discourse?, a few Sabbaths since, after discantii s at considerable length on the baneful and deleterious effects of these here abominable temperance societies, with grai credit to himself and the no little, amusement of his congregation, in further illustration of his views on the suoject, remarked that Doctor Franklin had laid down an excellent rule for parents to govern themselves b): for he had said, "irain up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart therefrom. However, he observed, he was not entirely certain whether it was Fiai klin, Solomon or some other of the apostles had said so, but be was well convinced it was one of them. The publication of the following communication will bring to mind an article inserted in the Palladium a few weeks since, signed "not Toby Wt kins," from the Indianapolis Gazette. In that article the writer, it seems, made some ratements wnken, tnough they do not show him to b "Toby WVitkins," show another thing, to wit: that he is not, in some respects, much belter than he should be. To the Editor of tlie Indianapolis Gazette. Sir You paper of the 13th inst. war h -iided me the moment I was ifavii.n Mtdison with my family for CrawfordsvilU , nnd I regret that I did not arrive Here in time to notice in this week's paper, some singular mis-statements of one who signs himself "a subscriber." Tiiis writer, amongst other things which I shall not notice, attributes the following language to Major Whitlock, on receiving me as his vsuccssor: "When any man will ride to Washington to supplant an officer that has done his duty I will neither receive him as a friend, nor treat him as a gentleman." We are not told whether I was thus addfessedj during my first interview with my predecessor on the 31st of August, or during my second, on the 7th of September; hut let the writer locate it when and where he pleases, it is utterly destitute of truth. The bravado of the President, attributed to the Major, is equally unfounded. But it is not to deny th" imputed language of Major Whitlock that I address you this note; for whether the reception the Major gave me was polite or the reverse is not matter of public concern, and therefore not a fit subject for newspaper discussion. T '-e charge of having caused the Land Office to be closed during the first week in September, is of a different nature, and one of public interest. This charge is equally unfounded with the former. Major Whitlock's determination to close the office with the close of the month, had heen communicated to a number of persons, previous to my arrival in Crawfordsville, and was a matter of public notoriety. He had declared this intention in the presence of a number on the Saturday previous to my arrival, anu had been imparled to me by two of those gentlemen, thirty miles this side of Crawfordsville. The Register give me the same information, and the Major himself in an early part of the conversation I had with him, declared his intention to close the office that night. Finding the Major determined in the course he would pursue, I handed him the open letter of the Commissioner of the general Land Office, for examina tion, and to see if he would take any ex ception to an error in the phraseology which required him to deliver to me all the books, papers, Szc. of the Register's and not the receivers office. Major Whitlock noticed the mistake and ob served, that with the books and papers of the Register s office he had nothing to do; but would deliver me the instructions and forms, in his office, whenever I pr.dtutd my commission, and the books as soon as he could bring them up, and

close his accounts which he supposed would require about a week. To Judge Dunn, late register, who introduced me to Major Whitlock, and who was present during the whole of the short interview I had with him, I fearlessly appeal for the correctness of the above statement. I hope, sir, you will excuse this short notice which I have thought it necessary to take of this vulgar writer and his silly production; and I assure you had it related to myself alone, I should have suffered it to paes quietly to oblivion without any notice whatever.

ADDRESS TO THE PRESIDENT. At a meeting of a number of citiz .ns from Pennsylvania ;ind Tennessee, held at Mr. Gadsby7s hotel, in Washington, on Saturday thn 10th incf. for thn nnrnn?P

Jettcn and D. Jr. Haley, of Tennessee, were appointed a committee to draft resolutions and addresses, which were unanimously adopted. The compam then proceeded to the house of the president, having previously despatched Messrs. Potter, Soaldirsr and Brooke, to announce their intended visit. The doors of the hospitable mansion were speedily unfolded, and in a few minutes they were ushered in the presence of the man of the people. lhe toll wine address was delivered! by general Cameron of Penns Ivar.ia: Gen, Jackson: The gentlemen assem - bled before you, are citizens of the sate of Pennsylvania and I ennessee, who have accidentally met i;i this city. They were anxious to pay iheir respects co the president of the United States in a body. All arc; your perso il friends, and allot them have viened with admi ration and feelings ol gratitude, our long and continued exertions in behalfof the human race, and your devoted at tachment to the rights and interests of the American people. All are now sa tisfied that since your inaoguratio , abuses have been discovered, and, with your characteristic energy, promptly corrected. Judging the future from the past, we feel confident t:at the institutions of our country will receive renewed life and vigor, while in the hand of tlie last soidier of the revolution. As ci.i zns of states, princ ipally, whose future wealth anl prosperity depend in a great measure upon their works of improve ment whic h are calculated to make them more formidable in war. and more hap py in peace, we cannot help expressing our gratification at y - ur repeated expressions and well known attachment to the domestic industry and enter rize of the country. Permit us to add our individual prayers, for your continued health and prosperity. To which g'Mi' ral Ja.kson replied: I receive, gentlemen, with grateful feelings, your kind expressions of approbation of my past life. I shall by a faithful and honest discharge of the important duties committed tn my care, endeavor to merit it for the future." After receiving the cordial grasp of friendship, and partaking of refreshments, the company retired, impressed. with additional esteem and admiration! towards the man whose untiring zeal and devotion to his country, justly enti tied him to be recorded in the sun bright page of history as the noblest of Columbia's sons. J. C. TILL1NGHAST, din. James Walker, Secretary. Intrepid Rogue. On the I Sih instant, a man who had disposed of a horse not his own, was pursued by the Constables. The ferryman at the Falls, was taking him across tbe river, when on being hailed by the officers in pursuit, he commenced returning with his charge. Our hero not relishing this movement, leaped from the boat as soon as it landed, and frVd down the river, throwing off hi? clothes on the way, until he had put himself in a state of complete nudation, when he plunged into the water and swam for the opposite shore. He was pursued by the boat and officers, which shot ahead of him before he could fairly land. He then tacked about and made fcrlhe other shore, where he met witn the same fate, the boat again interposing between him and the shore, when he again turned and swam back making the third time he had crossed the stream where it is about 70 rods wide tbe boat all the time in close pursuit. By this time he had floated down the liver farther than the boat dare venture, and had got into a whirlpool, in which i : 1 u i ! . e iemauieu, wniriing round lor auoui ten minutes, crying for help ; but none dare approach him. He at last extri rated himself from this perilous situatioi, and reached the shore; when this ambitiorjs biped plunged info the woods,in the same state as when he entered the water, and has nolbseo heard of sir c e.
