9 We invite the attention of our readers to the report of Mr. Porter, late secretary of war, on the subject of Indian affairs, published ou our first page. 07- We are authorized to announce AMOS JjAJSTE, of this place, as a candidate to represent this (the 3d) district in the 22d congress. We have been requested to announce the following named gentlemen as candidates for Constable in this township, at the ensuing election: H. W. Cloud, T. Longlej, L. G. Elder, A. B. Henry, J. Whipple, E. Sutton, J. Gattenby, J ohn Feree. We are informed that a man attacked with the smallpox, died in Aurora, in this county, a few days since. It will be seen that the legislature have passed an apportionment bill. The next legislature will consist of 104 members 30 in the 6enate and 74 in the house of representatives. This county has lost one member. The bill which first passed the house gave Dearborn 4, without increasing the aggregate number (if we recollect right) as high as the bill which has passed. Against this bill two of our members voted and protested, as has been seen; but on the passage of the 2d bill, which only differs from the first in giving us 3 members and increasing the aggregate number, we find these members voting for it. Comment is unnecessary. Snow-storm. Our exchange papers contain many notices of the snow-storm which occurred about the 15th ultimo and which it seems extended very generally over the country. In many places to the east the snow fell to the depth of 5 and 6 feet, and in others it drifted to that of 10 and 12. Travel ling on the principal roads, and even in some of the streets of New-York and Philadelphia, was almost stopped for a few days. XT. S. Supreme Court. We notice in the pro ceedings that Amoa Lane, of Indiana, was ad mitted to practice as an attorney and counsel lor in the Supreme Court of the United States, on the 12th ult. fj7-It will be seen by the following1 letter to the Editors, that the Hon; JOHN TEST is a candidate for re-election to Congress. Western Timet. Circular to Editors in the Third Congressional District. Washington, 1st Jan. 1331. Gentlemen Although I believe it is pretty generally known that I am a candidate for the suffrages of the citizens of the Third Congressional District ; but that there may be no misunderstanding of the matter, I will request you to make it known through the medium of your columns. I will only beg leave to cay, that since I have been honored with a seat in Congress, I have attended exclusively, to the duties of my trust, . A A A Tvunout even attempting to secure a continuance of my professional business. During the Sessions of Congress 1 have attended daily, in the House, unless prevented by circumstances, not within my control. The intervals between the sessions, have been devoted to visiting my constituents, in order to learn their grievances, if any they had; find storing my mind with the information necessary to their redress. As I have never changed my political tenets, I presume they are well understood ; I need not, therefore say that I will hereafter make them known. Having for so many years "pursued the even tenor of my way," and that too, under circumstances the most trying; those who have approved my course, have a pretty sure guaranty, that I shall not be disposed to change, without some very solid reason for so doing. That I have erred, there can be no doubt, but for the purity of my intentions, in every public act of my life, 1 can appeal with confidence, to that tribunal which never errs. I will frankly confess, I feel a lively interest, in being once more chosen the Representative of my fellow citizens, in the present district, as it will be the last time, on this side the grave, that I can have the honor of directly serving them in that capacity. Accept my best wishes for your prosperity. JOHN TEST. Anti mason Jrom the beginning. In one of the counties of Ohio, a man whose surname was Mason, had his son christened by the name of Anti.

Small Pox. The existence of pome cases of this loathsome disease in Morris county, and its prevalence in other parts of the country, has suggested the propriety of making public the following Recipe for its management and cure. This mode of treating the small pox was in use during the revolutionary war, and at intervals since, with the most complete success. This recipe is one practised upon by Henry Little, of this county, who during his life, was called to visit patients in extreme cases, not only in his own vicinity, but in New-York and elsewhere. Nor is it known that he ever lost a patient tho'

often called when the regular physician had pronounced the case entirely hopeless. His manner of treating patients was exclusively known to himself until towards the close of his life, when he made known the particulars to a friend, exacting a pledge that no publicity should be made until after his death. His confident was true to his word: but after his decease, from motives of humanity, he gave the Recipe to the public. It is now re-published for the benefit of all concerned under the firm persuasion of its usefulness to all, afi.icted with the distressing malady. The wonderful success which al ways attended Mr. Little's mode of treatment, as we are advised by our correspondent, renders the Recipe invaluable, not only to heads of familie?, but to practising Physicians, wherever the disease has obtruded itaeif upon society. Newark Sen. Recipe. Directions from the first day of the appearance of the pox. As long as the skin between the pock keeps its natural colour it is doing well ; but must be fed with a little snake-root and with Nanny tea. To raise the pock a little, saffron and a little milk punch must be added. If all this fails, give sage tea four times an hour, and as much oftener a3 the strength of the patient will bear but not to offend the stomache. If the fever should rise, give a teacup full of balm tea, to abate it, but not to extinguish it; for there should be some fever. When the pock is three days old, crowd on your growing medicine, if all looks fair; but if the pock appears to be shrinking, giv sage and Nanny tea with milk and rum the milk must be scalded. If the fever is too low, give saffron, snake-root and rum; and if too high, give a little balm tea; and if none ot the above will do give bohea tea, sugar and rum; still keep up your dri ving medicine. If all seems to do no good, give a tea spoonful of paragoric once an hour to a grown person. If that is insufficient, give the barks once an hour, if the stomach will bear it if not, as fast as it will until, you find it of no use When the throat is stopped, let the pock be as it will, take butter and melt it in an earthen cup, and skim it as long as any skum will rise; pour it offas far as it is clear; then put in as much hon ey as were is outter, ana me same quantity of rum, and one fourth part vinegar, and steep the whole together, and pour it down the throat boiling hot. If the patient cannot swallow any thing, then take a brick, make a hole in it, heat it hot, pour in vioegar,and take a tunnel and heat the throat over the brick. The eves should have cold water dropped into them every day, which will prevent the pock from injuring the sight. Jew Jersey Lagle. The snow-storm that commenced on the 14th instant, was one of the most violent experienced, (its duration being considered,) for many years past. The navigation of our rivers was suddenly closed, and our roads blocked up by i i . r j . . nuge Dunns oi unven snow. At one time, three northern mails, four south of Washington, and three west of H; gerstown, were all due at the Baltimore post-ofhee, notwithstanding the utmos exertions of the contractors and carri ers to eret them alone in which some of the latter suffered exceedingly. Niles Register. The Portsmouth (Ohio) Courier o the 21st ult. says, the citizens of Ports mouth are adopting measures to free the town of its coloured population. We saw a paper, yesterday with between one and two hundred names, including most of the house-holders, in which they pledge themselves not to employ any of them who have not complied with the law. The authorities have requested us to give notice that they will hereafter enforce the law indiscriminately. The free negroes who left Cincinnati about a year ago, have obtained a grant of about 25,000 acres of land, in Upper Canada, about 350 miles from Detroit, for which they are to pay gl,50 per acre. They are about 700 in all. Their children attend the free schools gratis. They are gathering strength rapidly, The Quakers of Ohio have prevented much suffering, by the donation of 700 dolbrs to them last winter.

Congress. Tho bill allowing to Mr. Monroe the amount of his claim against the United Stales has been rejected in the House of Representatives, on the motion of Mr. Chilton, by a vote of 78 to 67. An allowance of 40 cords of wood, from the surplus supply of congress, has been granted to the relief of the suffering poor in Washington, and a bill appropriating 1 500,and authorizing the President to employ two or more vessels, with sufficient surplus of men and provisions, to be despatched to sea, in order to succour such vessels as may be in distress from the late storm, has parsed through its various stages in the Senate. Judge Spencer and Mr. Wickliffe, on the part of the prosecution have addressed the Senate in the case of Judge Peck. Delaware Gazette, Jan. 21.

Newspapers in the Stale of New-York. An extract from Mr. Williams' forthcoming State Register for 1831, gives the number of Newspapers in this State at 234, of which about 70 are favorable to the present Administration, and 80 against it ; 4G of the latter number are Anti-masonic. In Putnam and Richmond counties only, no papers are published. In the city of New-York, there are 51 papers of all kinds; Daily 11, semiweekly 10, weekly 24, semi-monthly 5, monthly 1. There are supposed to be 16,000 daily sheets published, 18,000 semi-weekly, and G0,000 weekly. The whole number of papers printed in the city in a year is supposed ,to be 9,536,500 in the whole State. 14,536,000. The paper consumed by the Journals of the State, in a year, is estimated at above 33,000 reams, and the cost of it, at $4 a ream, 133,000. JY. Y. Gaz. Distressing Wreck. We learn from the Detroit Courier, that on the 15th ultimo, the schooner Emily was wreck ed on Lake St. Clair, when 7 np.rfions. - f J including the master, perished. The Emily sailed from Detroit on the Satur day evening previous, for St. Clair riv er. Near Point Huron she Atnirk re peatedly upon the shoal?, became very leaky,and when about half full of water, capsized. Five persons reached an island in the boat, but being unable to return, on account of the wind, were forced to remain idle spectators of the fate of those left behind. Another "Abduction" The village of Brooklyn was thrown into a complete state of ferment on Friday, 7lh inst. by the reported absence of a young lady, daughter of a respectable inhabitant there. It wa3 feared that the NewYork noosers had made a grand descent on the village, and would carry clTall from thence who were fit for dissection. An embargo was about to be laid on the coast to prevent any communication with our vile city4 and a corps du garde about to be established to prevent the escape of the persons who had already got on shore. It appears that the young lady alluded to, who is aged about 15 years, was sent on a message in the morning the afternoon passed on without her return. Search was made throughout the village enquiry was made on all sides, but without effect. At last, when night had almost arrived, an old beldame, who lived near the residence of the young lady's father, informed him that his daughter had gone to Paterson to get married. The father hastened to Paterson, and there he discovered that his daughter had really been noosed positively noosed in the matrimonial bonds, lie was too late to prevent the marriage, but was in good time to partake of the banquet prepared for the occasion. Ne7v-York Cour. and Enq. Milton, N. C Dco. 25. We have learned iVotn nuthoriiy ol the most undoubted kiiui , iiiat the inhabitants of Neubern, Tarborough, Hillisborough, and their vicinities, are considerably excited with the anticipation of insurrectional movements among their slaves. Our informant, just from the latter place, states that considerable consternation exists among its citizens that they have provided arms and ammunition, and are patrolling every exposed situation. The inhabitants of Newbern being advised of the assemblage of sixty armed slaves in a swamp in their vicinity, the military were called out, and surrounding tbe swamp killed the whole party. It appears from various rumors, that Christmas morning 'had been selected as the period of rebellious motions. Roanoke Adv. The weather. Since our last we have had a heavy fall of snow, succeeded by rain and snow intermixed, which continued until Thursday morning, when it commenced blowing and freezing. Yesterday, last night and this morning the cold was unusually severe. The river, by reason of the rain, has risen enough to start the ice, which is considerable quantities. running in

Extracts from White's Commercial Report. NEW-ORLEANTS MARKET Jan. 1. General Remarks. There have arrived since our last 31 steam boat?, viz: 17 from the interior and Mississippi, 12 from Cincinnati, Louisville and Trinity, and 2 from St. Liuis all with full cargoes. of produce, which gives that part of the Levee where they are moored an animating hustle in the business of discharging and receiving freight, which has from the abundance, caused a further decline in many articles brought to market this week, as noted below. The weather has generally been favorable for out door business, and of late, quite cool. The Mississippi is still at 11 feet below ordinary high water mark. To day, and Saturday next (Eighth of January,) being Holidays, will have some effect in retarding commercial operations. Sugar. We continue to quote for good merchantable quality on the plantation, by the quantity, at 5 a 5 1-4 cents per lb. at which sales have taken place. We find the latter rate to be the uniform asking price, and the for-

We generally receive these articles from the north; this year considerable have come down the river of good qual lty, particularly bbls. Flour, in the absence of a foreign demand and heavy arrivals this week, has accumulated in quantity, which causes that article to be dull at $4 50 per bbl. Pork is not in that good request as was expected by many; we have heard of sales in mess at12,50, and prime 10,50. Those rates it is supposed will not be fully supported. Lard in the fore part of the week was sold in large parcels at 6 1-4, and is now in fair demand at G 1-2 cents lb. Bacon arid bacon Hams are in moderate request at our former rates. Hams in pickle. There have been a few arrivals which are held at 7 cts. buyers feel unwillingly to venture over 5 cts per lb. IVhiskcy has generally sold at 30 cts. per gallon. We have heard of a few sales at lower rates. The President and Directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road have given notice that the Company will pay four thousand dollars for the most ap proved Locomotive Steam Engine, of American Manufacture, which may be delivered for trial on the road by the first of June next; and three thousand five hundred dollars for the Engine which shall be adjudged the next best. 1 he engine must be capable of drawing fifteen tons inclusive of the weight of the wngon?, fifteen miles per hour, with sundry other specified properties. M. George Lafayette has been appointed Ambassador from Paris to the United States of America. He is to embark on board the frigate La Didon, which is now arming at Toulon; and the Prince de Joinville, third son of King Louis Phillippe, who has adopted the naval profession, is to sail with him in quality of midshipman.
