THE GREAT UKIFERSAL PLAGUE.

.as this was perhaps the most dreadful and the most

universal Plague which is related in modern history, it is worth while to present a more lengthened description of its character and duration. For this purpose I take the liberty of abridging an excellent account of this great Plague from a recent number of Frazier's Magazine. ."This dreadful pestilence, like the cholera, made ; its first appearance in the east. It arose in China, Tarlary, India, and Egypt, about the year 1315. It is ascribed by cotemporary writers to the general corruption of the atmosphere, accompanied by the appearance of millions of small serpents and oilier venomous insects, and in other places quantities of huge vermin, with numerous legs, and of a hideous aspect, which filled the air with putrid exhalations. Making every allowance for the ignorance and credulity of the age, it appears that some natural causes had'eontributed to corrupt the air, and load it with pestiferous vapours. It came into England in the year 136S; and it rained from the previous Christmas until Midsummer, almost without ceasing. Great inundations followed, and accumulations of stagnant water, by which the whole almosphcro was poisoned. It appears tint in many countries there were also earthquakes and tremblings of the earth. In many of the accounts given of these convulsions of nature, wc may presume . there was a good deal of exaggeration. But the testimonies aro too numerous and respectable to leave any doubt that, before and during the pestilence the elements were in a state of general convulsion which seems unparalleled in history. The pbguc extended it ravages from India into the more western parts of Asia, into Egypt, Abyssinia, and thence into the northern parts of Africa. It proceeded over Asia Minor, Greece, and the Islands of Archipelago, almost depopulating the regions over which it stalked. It may bo literally slid to have decimated the world, even though we were to lake this term, as implying the destruction of nine, in place of one out of ten. The Plague appears to have staid five cr six months in one place nnd then to have gone in search of fresh victims. Its symptoms are minutely described by many writers, and appear to be the same in every country it visited. It generally appeared in the groin, or under the arm pits, where swellings were produced, which broke out in sores attended with fever, spitting, and vomiting of blood. The patient frequently died in half a day generally within a day or two at the most. If ho survived the third day, there was

hope, though even then many fell into a deep sleep

from which they never awoke. FromGrceco the plague passed into Italy. Tho

Venetians having lost 100,000 souls, fled from their

city, and left it almost uninhabited. At Florence . 60,000 persons died in one year. Franco next became exposed to its ravages, and the mortality was horrible. The malady proceeded northward through France till it reached Paris, where it cut off 50 ,000 people. About the same time it spread into Germany, where its ravages arc estimated at the enormous amount of 12,100,000 souls. At last this fearful scourge began to be felt in England. About the beginning of August, 13 IS, it appeared in the seaport towns on the coast of Dorset, Devon, and .Somersetshire, whence it proceeded to Bristol. The people of Gloucestershire, immediately interdicted all intercourse with Bristol, but in vain. The disease ran or rather flew, over Gloucestershire. And thenco it spread to Oxford, and about the first of November reached London. Finally, it spread over all England, scattering every where euch destruction, that out of the whole population, hardly one in ten was left alive. Incredible as this statement may appear, it seems borne out by details of contemporary annalists. In the church yard of Yarmouth 7052 persons who died of the plague were buried in one year. In the city of Norwich, 57,374 persons, died iu six months. In the city of Yoik tho mortality was equal. In London, the dead were thrown into pits forty, fifty, or sixty into one: and large fields were employed as burial place?, the church-yards being found insufficient for the purpose. No attempt was made to perform this last office with the usual care and decency. Deep and broad ditches were made, in which the dead bodies were laid in row?, covered with earth, "and surmounted with another layer Tf bodies, which were also covered. The mortality fell chiefly upon the lower classes of society, and among them principally upon old men, women, and children. In theso respects, this plaguo seems to have differed from some of the plagues in tho 17th century, which ft 11 particularly among the upper classes. It was remarked, that "not one king or pvincc of any nation died of the pbguc, and of the English nobility and people of distinction very few were cut off. Among the higher orders of tho church, the

deaths were rare." It appears that no precautions

could prevent the influence ot toe contagion. The

bonds of society were loosed; parents forsook children and children parents; some fled to the

country, others locked themselves up in their

houses, and many went on board vessels. But every where the fugitives were followed, for the des

troying angel had a foot on the waters as well as on the land. "The pestilence spread into Wales and into Ireland.'1 As to the Scots they are said to have brought the malady upon themselves. Taking advantage of the defenceless state of England, (or rather resolved to avengo the injuries they had suffered under tho Edwards,) they made a hostile irruption with a large force into the country. But they had not proceeded far when tho plague overtook them. They perished in thousands, and car-1 ried the disease with them into Scotland, where its ravages were soon as destructive as they were in England. Early in the year 1310, the plague began to abate; and by the month of August it had entirely disappeared. Its consequences, however, continued forsomq time to be severely felt. During the prevalence of tho disease, the cattlo for want of men to tend them, wero allowed to wander about the fields at random, and perished in such numbers as to occasion a great scarcity. Though t.ic fields, too, were covered with a plentiful crop of Corn, much of it was lost for want of hands to reap and gather it in! The last drecr3 of this sreat pla

gue were drained by that unfortunate race the

Richland, June 29th, 1S31.

Gentlemen: I regret that my absence in the country, delayed, until yesterday, the receipt of your favor of the 20th instant, inviting me to the "Democratic Festival to be given at I'ountain Green, on the 4th of July next." It would afford me high gratification to unite with my fellow-citizens of the city of Philadelphia and its vicinity, "to bring together those democrats, who have been for some time, divided in their choice of men, in union and harmony to resuscitate the doctrines of Thomas Jefferson, to proclaim an aversion to man-worship, and to establish principles as the only safe standard, &c.' Our own reflections and the examples of history should convince us that no free government can long be sustained, where men are substituted for principles. If we are not incapable of receiving instructions from example, we must profit by the republics of past ages, which have been overthrown by an abandonment of principle and a blind adherence to men. We aro all such selfish beings, and either through infirmity or depravity are always liable to err. A principle which may be denounced today may shortly be the test of political orthodoxy, and thus all the great movements of the government may depend upon the whim or caprice of an individual, who himself may be the miserable instrument of political jugglers. This is a' government of an absolute monarchy, by whatever name it may be called. - It is a just and profound observation of Machiaval, "that the real powers of government are some times contracted to a narrower point in republics than in monarchies." He who has not seen this tendency in republican governments has profited little by the lights of history or experience. In the days of Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, who ever heard of Jefierson men, Madison men, or Monroe me? Parties were then known by the principles which they advocated, and they formed the rule by which men were judged. And if we wish to preserve our government, we must get back again

to the standard of principles which were then professed and entertained. Let a party bo organized with an exclusive reference to any individual, and let that individual be placed at the bead of the government, he must of necessity be supported in all his measures. If he shall be supported by his party, only when ho is right, the party must soon be broken in pieces; for his name being the only rallying point, whenever the party shall fail to justify and sustain all his acts, it loses its appropriate designation and must dissolve. It is therefore as necessary to support the chief of a party, thus organized, when he is wrong as when he is right. ' I have the honor to be, with groat respect, your obedient servant, JOHN MeLEAN.

Cutting timber. In reply to the inquiry made by D. R. respecting the proper season for cutting limber, we say, that where durability is the object, limbcrshould be cut at that season, when there is the least sap in it, say in February, but where it is for the purpose of clearing land and the timber to be cut is of a kind that is likely to sprout, than it is. desirable to have it cut when there is most sap in it, as that not only prevents the stumps from sprouting but they rot much sooner than when cut in February.

Gold Coin. Mr. T. M. Moore of this city, has just completed a very admirable contrivance for the detection of counterfeit gold coin of the new emission. It is neat and durable, and by it a piece of false coin can be instantly detected. The balance is an unfailing one, and those who possess themselves of one of these articles may feel perfectly safe when taking the half and quarter eagles. The article is sold at a very reasonable rate, and is almost indispensable for Hanking institutions, store keepers and others. We have a few of these Balances for sale at this ofiice, price $1 50 each. BicknelV C. D.

A cruel and deliberate murder, without provocation, was committed at Tuscumbia, (Ala.) by a man named Flake a well digger, 22 years of age, on the person of a man named Pool, aged 45, who was intoxicated at the time. Passing the cabin of Flake, the latter called him and said he had some information to impart. Pool went towards him, when Flake began striking him with a stick, apparently in fun; he then kicked him severely. Se

veral persons then requested him to desist, Pool I

not making toe least rcsistencc. lie sun ioiuwvcu Pool, and picking up a stone weighing two or three pounds, ho struck him so severely on tho back of the head with it, as to fracture his skull, rendeiing him insensible, and causing his death next morning. Flake was committed to prison, after examination to await his trial.

A dangerous Situation. When pricing nrni tho Itiet river gMc, and whilo our oxen wero grazing, Van Wyk, tho colonist, related to us the following interesting circumstance: 'It is now," tie jnid, "more than Iwoycuis frincc in the very phco wln ro we stand, I ventured to take one ofih; most dning shots that ever Was hazarded.

My wifi, either frozen with fear or aware of the danger at-. tending any attempt to fiy, remained motion! in her place, while the child tvu tr.k refuge iu her lap. Tho cry they tittered attracted my attention, nnd I hastened towards the doer; but my astonishment may be well conceive d, when 1 found i1k entrjiico to it barred in m:c!i a way.

Passing Counterfeit ,Money. Wc learn that ftt the late; term of the Court of Common Pleas, in Worcester, Mass. a person by the name of Azariah Walker, was found guilty of passing counterfeit money, and sentenced to two years imprisonment in tho state prison. It was proved, on tho trial, that he had offered a two dollar bill, of tho Franklin Bank, Chepachet, II. I. to a tavern keeper, who pronounced it-counterfeit. Afterwards he passed tho same bill to another person, saying that he had shown it at a Ban!;, where it was "considered good, (the bill being suspected by tho person to whom it vas passed,) and by that means getting rid of it. There was evidence that Walker came honestly by tho bill,and that his character was good. Two years imprisonment is the shortest term authorized by the statute against this enrTcnce. It is probable that the number of tenants of the state prison would be greatly increased, were all sent there who have been guilty of tho samo offence that Walker is. It was only (as described by a witness,) "tucking off a bad bill that somebody had tucked on AtV." Ib.

IValJiing under water. The apparatus by means of which a gentleman of Boston amused tho people of that city, by a walk under water, is thus described: A large cap made of load, with a circular gh?3 in front, and weighing about 75 lbs. envelopes the head and rests upon the shoulders, to this the water tight India Rubber dress is attached. Tho air is conveyed into the cap by means of tubes made of India Rubber cloth, through which it is propelled by a forcing pump kept in tho host or vessel as the case may be. Shoes made of lead weighing several pounds each, are also worn. At the depth of twenty four feet no inconvenience is experienced from supporting this weight, which should be graduated according to the depth of the water. Between two and three hundred young men, headed by tho Captain of the Watch, made an attack upon ten gaming houses in Richmond, Va , on tho 15th inst., and destroyed all the gaming implements found in the different apartments, without disturbing, or in any way injuring any other kind of properly.
