At any thing appertaining to this distinguished individual and intaluable public servant is interesting to the democratic party throughout the country ,we give the follow in rpitome of his sentiment?, which he recently declared at a public meeting in Cynthiana, Ky. They embrace the psentialsof Democracy. They are the great principles hich wc wish to see advocated and sustained: and they cannot but be read with pleasure by all true republicans : lie disapproved of measures leading to consolidation and disunion. He disapproved the attempts to -top the Mail on Sunday leave that to the consciences of men and women. He disapproved of imprisonment for debt (the Indian caught r.o beaver in jail.) lie disapproved of all monopolies equality of rights and privileges he contended for. Ale disapproved of the Band of the United States, in taking part in our elections a foreign enemy had as much right. He disapproved of the licentiousness of the press but he much more disapproved of any legal check or restraint upon itit might endanger the liberties vf the people. He disapproved of any qualifications but age and residence in a voter at the polls. . lie disapproved of any property qualifications in a voter or for office cf any kind. lie disapproved of all distinctions in society, but from personal merit. He disapproved of opposition to law by violence and resistance. The ballot-box was the place; better to submit to a bad law until repealed, than use force. , He disapproved of the irresponsible tenure by which our judges hold their offices the Constitution should be amended. He disapproved of the abuse of men in our country distinguished for talents, services and patriotism, no matter of what party. He disapproved of the principle cf being governed by the minority. It is the principle of monarchy if we cannot trust the majority, we cannot the minority. . lie disapproved of long sessions of Cangress, and long speeches any where. lie disapproved paying members of Congress by the day; let them work by the job. The People -will see that the work is well done. He disapproved of the power of the federal judges to declare ttate laws unconstitutional; it may sonictimes cure an evil, but it is itself a greater evil. He disapproved of that part of the Constitution which makes the senatorial term six years the more irresponsible the power, the more dangerous the liberty. . v Such are the sentiments of the democratic candidate for the Vice Presidency. They do honor to hi heart and head. os. r.. A Summer Evening and Night in Sweden. Evening closed in upon us, unaccompanied however with that dusk so pleasing and grateful to the eye overpowered by the burning glare of day. The contrast between a summer evening in Sweden and England is sufficiently striking. In tlM latter, the busv hum cf the country gradually subsid.ng, the barking of the village cur mingled with the noisy gambols of the children upon tne green, are borne by the gale upon the listening stranger, in the sweet notes of peace and harmony, till the grey vest of night spreads around and closes the scene. In the former, the sun reluctantly quits the horizon at eleven o'clock, his lingering rays even at the hour of midnight throw a streak of crimson light across the heavens, and impart a fiery tinge to the lanscape, a dead silence reigns, and creation reposes in the absence of the night. Even in the small hamlets thinly scattered through the immense forests, at a very Tiarly hour of evening no traces of inhabitants appear. The ploughman's whistle, the lowing of the herds, and the deep tone of the evening curfew, so unchantinjrly described by our bard (Gray, in his well known Elegy in a country church yard,) are unheard; and not a sound strikes upon the ear, except perchance the distant tone of the lute, blown by some Swedish peasant boy to collect his wanderin cows. The whispering breeze, however, creepin" through the dark pine forest, sighs in melancholv accents, sweet as tne oiin nre, nu mi v.v. mind with the softest emotions; while the eye, darting between the tall straight trunks rising in qu.ck succession, conjures up amid the surrounding gloom the flitting forms of fancy. Thus, for a.hort tune, eve's pensive hour glides silently on, undisturbed and unenioyed by man, who wrapt in sleep, thinks only of preparing himself for the toils of the coming div. At one o'clock the animal creation returns to life and the singing of various birds announces the approach of morn. A deep blush now spreads along the heavens, and shortly afterward the fiery orb of the sun shoots aloft, and gilds the mingled lanescape of mountain, lake and forest, while the rolling mists of nirht retreat at his presence. Thus, during the fleeting months of the northern summer, the sun, in the higher latitudes, keeps circling round the horizon, and darkness is unknown. To this unceasing day continual night, however; soon succeed.; the extreme cf heat is followed by that of cold; and m the absence of the meridian of the sun, the moon, durinrtwo ofher quarters, rises high in the heavens, neve setting-while the brilliancy of the constcllat ons and the darting fires of the Aurora Boreal e rushing through the firmament, light up the .Lies, and compensate the inhabitants ot these frozen recions for the loss of day. en rtfciu Brooke' Travel's tn Sxceden. ? ... . rrrrrTS OF LlOHTNINO A C ACTION Jxltxl (Mas.) the 7th instant 6a-Tvery singular occurrence happened here last ve..V" About 8 o'clock a Hash of lightning detended the red and spire of our lecture w, uheg. there were assembled, at a prayer meeting I oaD' about persons.

Apparently it parsed to the stove pipe followed that, and inttcad of ascending through the chimney, (which was probably forty feet from where it commenced with the pipe,) it descended the chimney passed across the west end of the house, and then two rooms below through t,ie noor lo t,,e eartI at the corner of the building opposite to that where it entered. Many persons were stunneu scorched or thrown down. One had the sleeve of his coat cut as with a knife from shoulder to hand. Another his hair singed oil over his head, and another the tole of his boot handsomely cut ctf; but the most ostouidang to relate, no one was killed." The Virginii papers announce the death of General Win M'Oiy, for many years a representative in Congress from that ititt.

LAWKlEftTCEITTI From the Western Hemisphere. OUR BOUNDARY AFFAIRS. Awaro that an honest anxiety exists in the minds of the people of Ohio, in relation to tho present stale affairs touching the boundary controversy, and that manv false rumours and filso state ments relative to the movements of the authorises of Ohio, are in busy circulation, we have applied to the Executive of the State, who has, with that frankness for which he is distinguished, permitted us to have access loall movements and correspondence emenatttig from that department of the Government of Ohio; and we communicate the same for the public information. In consequence of. the outrages at iotcuo in July, by the people of Michigan, and the subsequent annunciation that the acting Governor of the Territory would not comlpy with the arrangement entered into at Washington, by which the objects of our "Compromise Hill" were to be effected, the Executive of this Slate did, on the 7th August, cause a General Order to be issued, inviting a tender of Cavalry and Mounted Rill 'men, who would volunteer to march at a moments warning, to defend the interests and honor of the State. The Order h:s since been made public, and a tender of volunteers under it was liberally made. While things stood thus and the Executive of Ohio was wanting with anxiety to hear from the Cabinet at Washington, he received letters from two gentlemen in whom lie hid the utmost confidence, one dated the 14th the other the 20th August, assuring him that if the Acting Governor of Michigan filled to comply with the arrangements of tho 3d of July, he would be promptly superseded. In possession of this information, the Exective deemed it advisable to do no act on the part of Ohio which could be construed into a violation of said arrangement. On the 27ih of August, Col. Samuel C. Andufays, Adjutant General, was requested to repair to the North, end consult with Judges and Prosecuting Attorney of Lucas County, on the subject of holding a Court in the County on the bst Monday of September, as required by the act of the 20ih June, and with their assistance and advice pursue such course as might be deemed expedient, with regard to the organization of the Court. 'I he Commissioners had also been requested to meet and appoint some suitable time to complete running tin; line. On the 4th of September (inst.) the Governor, in accordance with Ins expectation, received an official letter from the Secretary of Stale, informing him that the President h id superceded the Acting Governor of Michigin, and hid appointed Charles Siialer, of Pennsylvania, to till the vacancy. On the receipt of this intelligence, the Governor communicated the same to the Commis sioners, and suggested to them the propriety ot r..m.iimir the runnim.' of the line until some time in Ortohpr. after the sittinu; of the Courts in MichTi,; Ua cfinidtredduc to the President of the United States as well as to Gov. Siialek; as it would give full time to carry out that p irt of the arrangement of the 3d July, which provides that all suiis that bad been commenced under the .imlmritv of Michigan, should be discontinued and at thnt time if tho compromise were complied with, the line could be completed without interruption; and on the contrary should the arrangement be dis- . t i .i tl.it regarded by the people ot .uicmgau, men, ... event.its violation would be announced by proclama tion, as required by the 3d section of the act of the 20th June that the Commissioners and Executive could, by that time, act understandingly and it it were necessary to prepare force to protect them it would be done effectually. In accordance with this suggestion, the Commissioners appointed Monday lluTsd day of November next, as the day on which they would commence running the line. These prudent steps of the Executive of Ohio, while they must meet the approbation of every citizen of the Slate who is disposed to do justice to the motives of the Executive, will elevate her char acter for forbearance and moderation, among her sisters of the confederacy. We learn by a letter from Col. Axdiiews, dated the 8th inst. that the Court of Common Pleas of Lucas county (a part of which embraces the disputed territory) met at Toledo on the morning of the 7th, organized, appointed their Clerk and Commissionerafor the County, accepted and filled the bond of the Clerk, made up their record, and adjourned the same morning. The Court was not j held, as is erroneously stated, in secret, but was; public, and in the presence of a number of citl"'cn'. I We learn further thnt Mason, at the head of 1,-j 200 Michigan Troop?, wis at Toledo at the lirnei the Court "sat. This body, it is understood, went Miere to prevent the organizition of the Court, hut were probably too much occupied in a bdchanalian revel to be aware of what was going on. We regret that our fellow citizens of Toledo, were overrun for a moment by these barbarians; but when all the circumstances are taken into view, it is, perhaps, better that they were the victims of temporary insult, than that Ohio should have had a force embodyed there at the time. I materially changes the aspect of the question, to the advantage of Ohio. Michigan, in embodying this force at Toledo, is acting in violation ol the United States; thev stand, in our opinion, in treasonous shoes, and the question is cognisable (as wc think) in the District Court of Ohio. Frora the New-York Gazette. New-York, Aug. 23, 1835. New abolition scheme. Mr. Printer, I have rot a notion in mv head about this Nigger question That I think will bring the matter to a pritty considerably of a fair understanding, and if it works Huh?, ihe credit nn't will belong to our old friend M ij r Downing, for he was the one who first put the notion in my head. In the first place he said no man who did'nt own Niggers h id any right to meddle in the matter at all, unless in the way of bargain, and face to face with them who did own Niggers, so that there would'nt be no underhanded workaoul it, and tint it was just as mean and nasty a ousiness for folks nortli to stir up bad blood between mister and slave south, as it would be for folks south to stir up bad blood between factory folks or other working folks north, and them who employed them. The Major has been a good deal in the (MHith himself, and I have beam him say cnen that he never siw a Nigger do half as much hard workin one day, as he bad done himself day in and day out, for years together; and many a day, when uo

was cutting timber or "leggin" in winter, hnd his dinner froze as hard sa a brick bat in his basket, ho wouhfnt think it mean to swop to pick cotton down south. "But," says I, "Major, wont the cotton climate be too hot for you ?M "Well,"" says he, l4I suppose it would, and just so it is with a Nigger; our climate north would kill him about as quick and in this you see ihe Providence of God. He not only gives to this earth all climates and all kinds of plants, and fruits suited to those climates, but he has created folks lo suit these climates, too. Cotton and rice won't grow north, and a white man can't work as safely as a black man where they do grow rand,1 says he, 'to pity a black man for working in the sun, would be just as funny as to pity a hardy white man like ine, for working in the frost; and, altogether, you may as well pity a goose for going barefoot; it is all according to natur. The sailor in his ship the farmer in his field the miners away down under the earth 'he doctor among his gaily pOS! lawyer and merchant at their books and writing desk, and so oiihrough all creation, to the Nigger in the cotton and rice field all work fora livinii; and ever since time begun, every man thinks his own profession the hardest to live by." B jUiow to tlivj notion I first started with, for this is ihe nub of this I nter. As in this country there might be more danger preventing fr:e discussion otilill matters, than in letting all h ive their say in most matters the only course left in this N;gger question, is, to see tint one set of folks don't tue other folks' property in carrying out their dan of "phyhnthropy," as thy call it. The meaning of the word "phyhnthropy," according lo the diction ary, is, to love man. 7 INow it any man loves a than his master does, he should love h"s mister inst as much, elsj there aint a jot of p!iyl inthropy in it. Now, according to the laws of the land, a nigger is a3 much the porperty of hi3 mister as my shirt is mine; if any man wants my shirt, Hnd I uhuse to sell it to him, its a bargiin but if he aint ready to piy me4a fair price fir it, then I say he aint got no right lo discuss the matter, particularly if the nature of his discussion is to deprive me of my shirt, without compensating at all. Now, then, if tho Abolition folks want to free a Nigger, they must ba ready to pay for him, and snmethin like this plan might work well. Let the Sothern States fix a fair price for a nigger, and form a committee to take charge of tho matier, and when an abolition man is so brain full of pliilanthiopy that he can't find work enuf at home for it, let him send v.e amount of the HtM value of a nigger to this committee South, and simply say "Gentlemen; inclos'd is $ ;p!e;tsesend me a nigger. Now this would be what I would cull true philanthropy ; and if the Abolition folks at home and abroad would just try it a spell, they would find at 1t:ist the true diffjrence between right up and j down justice, and their kind philanthropy, which is verv apt to overlook it. Your frien, 3 ZEKEL 1UGELOW. (Extract of a letter from Commodore Porter.) Gk.U1-K A RADIAN HORSE MOW DISTINGUISHED. About a mouth since I saw a singularly beautiful light chestnut sorrel horse standing in my yard; no one was holding him; his bridle was laying over his neck, and the person having charge of him was standing behind him, platting hii beautiful long silky tail, which trailed on the ground; he appeared lobe fullof life, spirit and intelligence, and as docile as a a ojj Phere was something so fascinating in tho ap pearance oflhis animal, something so gazdte-like that I was determined if he was for sale I would have him coutequi coute. His age I ascertained to be a little over seven years. He had coma from the city of Suliemanich, in Tiiaurdistan, which is a province bordering on Poisia on one sitle, and on ihe other side by the Pachailic of B igdad, which latler borders on the great desert of Arabia. The horse belonged to an Agha,who had recently arrived from thence; be said the horse was a little sick, and would not eat, and that as the Agh i was compelled to return immediately, he had offered the horse for i cum which no one knowing the value of a Thaurdistan horse could refuse to give. I finally closed the bargain for the horse, adding a present ol two hundred an d hftv piasters to the groom. After tryInn thH horse under the saddle, and approving of his gaits and fleetness,! sent for the sultan's farrier, who the moment he saw the horse pronounced him not only a pure Arabian, but a oeaumui one, anu said that he lud seen but one so pure before in his lite. I now sent immediately to the Agiia to request him, if in his power, to give me ino pi-uigno the horse; he sent me word that be did not know h's nedturec, nor did the person from whom ho boo ht himthat the Kurds when they stole a horse, stole onlv the best, and dul not stop to inquire after the pedigree; hut if I wished to stisfy myself that the horse was of the pure Arabian breed, I must examine his neck, on both sides of which I f should find a beautiful natural tree projecting up-: wards from half way down the neck, and that I should find spurs on his fetlock joints, both of which were certain indications of the purity of Ins blood. . , About half way down his npek, a few inches from the rnane, on boih sides, I found a dark spot, rather hrger than a chick spot, destitute of hair; but around these, to the size of a dollar, tho short and silky hair made several eccentric turns, then shot up towards the ears in the form of an ostrich plume; nnthin" can be more beautiful. On pvamina lite fetlocks, I found that be had on oarh f.re foot, a spur of two inches long, of the size of the litsle finger, at the root, gradually tapering to a point, and turning up like those ot a cock, un the hind fetlocks were the same, but not more than half die length all were slightly fringed about the root with soft silky hair. On being satisfied of the value ofthe horse, which circumstances had placed in my possession, I told thu doctor to go to work and cure him if possible. Hh felt the pulse of his legs, then examined his mouth, and fell his ears; and turning to me, said he had the guenzhemich, which when translated means the eye bone, or bone eye. Never having heard of such a disease, I asked him what it was, lie thurst his finger into the lower part of the horsei eye, and turning the lower lid wrong side out, desired me to feel of it. I did so, and felt a hard bony substance; the lid was much inflamed. He now thurst a needle with horse hair through tho black rim of the inner lid, and pulling it out ofthe eye, cut therefrom tho bony substance. Tho eye bled perhaps half a spoonful; he performed th same operation on the

other eye; after which he threw up each nostril, through a short reed, about a spoonful of burnt alum and black pepper, which brought on a violent sneezing. He then directed that sornre garlic, vinegar and salt should be mixed with a kind of red earth, which had the appearance of red ochre, and that his mouth should be washed with it three or four times a day, for 4 or 5 days, he next scarified his mouth and put him into tho stable. Wo have followed his directions, and ihe horse, that for long time past would not tuch bearly now eats it freely and is to all appearance well. This disease and the mode of treatment, is to me altogether new it may not be so to others. From the inquiries I have made I am satisfied that in ten days moro the horse would have been ruined the farrier said be would have been in five. The disease, it is said, is brought on by straining their eyes in anxious watching for their food. A Turkish horse is double haltered to both ends of his trough,

so that he cannot turn his head, which of course brings a great strain on the eye when he wants to look on one side or the other. I havo measured ibis horse from the shoulder to the ground lie is exactly four feet, nine and a half inches high (fourteen hands, one and a half inches hi-di.) Those who know Eclipse, say that this horse is a hiuhlv fl itterins likcncs3 of him. I shall t 7 0 V keep the horse although I have been strongly advised to send him to America, but I am nppre hensive it might turn out like many, nay, I may say all such speculations. Bit if you know ot any one who wisfies this horse, they uray write to any disinterested person in this country to examine and report cn him, and then we will agree on the terms. I am now satisfied there is not another Arabian in Const3iilinople, tho sulton's horses are generally sooted, verv fit. and very spirited; they look extremely well with their trapping on, but I am assured that he has not a pure Arabian among them. Am. Turf Reg. A most melancholy accident occurred in the neighborhood of Eiston a few days since. The E iston Argus gives the following particulars "Two daughters of Mr. John Christrnan, of Salem Township, one aged 19 years and the olher 13, came to Eislonon Thursday last, in a light wagon drawn by one horse. On their return, when a short distance above South E iston, on the berrn bank of the Lehigh canal, tho horse became frightened by two men, who were lying fast asleep by the road side. The way Lure is very narrow, and there is a perpendicular wall ot'at least four feet from the surface of the road to the water in the canal, which is here at least 7 or 8 feet deep. Over this wall, and into the canal were the unfortunate girls, together. with fishing in the Lehigh, near the spot but so furbelow as not to see the accident, heard a terrific scream and hastened to the bank lo learn the cause. They beheld a bonnet fl atingon the water, and the horse rendered furious by the fall, kicking and plunging in tho most awful manner. Assistance soon arrived, and the bodies of the unfortunate girls were taken from the watut but life was exliuct. A New -York. Dandy. One youth of this kind 1 know, a dolt ofthe very first water, who said to an acquaintance recently, in my presence : "Do you know the Miss 's of Noo Yawk? What devilish susceptible creathurcs they ar' lo be su-ahl I called on them a few months ago, and sang to them Zurich's Waters,' and 'Me sister Dc-ab,' and dont you think ihey both fell in love with me! Egad, they did so, hut I could'nl relieve, and so I cut them. I vow I wont be cruel to any one if I can help it, I wont positively, would you?" This was at an Ordinary. "1 say, stranger," said a rough looking book pedlar from Illinois, who sat near this scented braggart, "you are not a wan, are you? a full bound man? You don't sartingly answer to a masculine title, do you? I should take you fora pocket edition of a sheep. Them'd my sentiments, and you have 'em gratis. You hav'nt brains enough to fascinate a kitten yet you raally fancy that you are something uncommon! You are roo flit to keep your eyes open, fully and I'll bet a wolf trap, that the sight of a full blown poppy would set you to sleep, any time. Oh, psha! Landlord, give "this thing a weak lemonade, scented with rose water and tote rne a pint of brandy, hot with a red pepper in if, and a common cigar. Til go bail for the bill. Kinckerbocker. "Suicide." A man by the name of John Ham inel. committed cuicide in the Fairfield county Jail, t .ct inf.l tvhMm bo was confined on a charge of horse steeling. The Ohio Eagle states that he bad formerly been convicted upon a similar charge, and sentenced to five years imprisonment in ine Penitentiary, which sentence was commuted and he liberated, last spring. He has left several pipers Inddnd him. in which he asserts his innocence of the crime for which he was first convicted. His writings, (says the Eagle,) show that he was possessed of a good miud,and a very sencitive disposition. Cin. Republican. Duels. A gentleman who has just arrived from Rio Janerio, informs us that while the Peacock lay there, noles3than three duels were the Midshipmen attached to her. One ofthe U6s was shot through the lungs and killed, another had a leg fractured. All this among friends. One of the battles had its origin in a pea jacket. One said good naturedly, "Tom, that is my pea jacket you have on." The other replied with equal good nalure, "you he it is my pea jacket.7' 1 ho jorfes were pushed until the parties became angry, and then upon the honor of gentlemen they must fight, and one of them in consequence dressed in a winding sheet instead of a pea jacket. An awful responsibility rests on those superior officers who have the boys under their guardianship to murder each other thus. Jour, of Com. Wheat. The prince of this article has declined at Louisville and New-Albany. It was selling at tho last dates at 80 cents per bushels, and the princes current. itis The PiiiLDELrniA Inquiker slates that rumored that a forgery to tho extent often thousand dollars has been committed in that city, by an individual who was a few month? inc engaged in mercantile pursuit.

3L83S. ftT0. 8S. From the Kentucky Gazette. Messrs. Williams and Boyd contiryie to bo noticed in many papers, as berhg of the opposition. This is incorrect, as applying to either. Mr. Williams, on the election ofSenatof to Congress, voted for Mr. Guthrie, a decided friend of the Administration, against Mr Crittenden, the Whig candidate; and in the canvass for his own election, he took the stump against the United States Bank. The party loss and gain in Kentucky, at the late election, wo think, fairly stands thus: Administration gain. Congress, I State Representatives, 20 Adminislraton loss. Statu Senate, 2 The Whig majority in the last Legislatura wa 2 Senators and 48 Representatives. In tho next, it will be 4 Senators and 18 Representaves. Official. On Wednesday, Senor Don Dominco A costa, who was originally accredited as Charge d' Affaires of the Republic of Colombia, near this Government and who ha3 for some time past resided in the United States in that capacity, presented his credentials to the Secretary of Slate, and was recognized as Charge d' Affaires of the Republic of New Granada. Globe. French Indemnification. We offered, oa Saturday, a few remarks upon the probability of tho immediate payment, by France ofthe money novr due on the indemnification treaty. And we find in the New York Commercial Advertiser of Saturday evening, a letter from Paris, dated 15th August, from which wo mak et.be following extracts: "I am inclined to tho opinion, that tho French government will regard the letter of Mr. Livingston as the required explanation, since that letter has received the "entire approbation" of the President. He assents lo the full declaration of Mr. L. and lo all his endeavors to satisfy the French Ministers, that no meanace or insult could have been intended in the message. This is spying all that reasonable men can expect; and if, after all, the French govern ment do not avail themselves of it, I think they will discover their mistake, in the general support which would be given by our whole country to tho position in which our government now stands in ihe controversy. "I am almost alone in the opinion that our foolish quarrel with France or rulher the foolish diplomacy of last year will be settled before December. But I think so. As tho thing now stands, I think the French Ministers will see that they are in a false position the world will not sustain ihern in demanding farther satisfaction for disclaimed insult. U. S. Bank. The Journal of Commerce says that the U. S. Branch Bank ot Charleston, has been sold lo the new "Charleston Bank," and that an arrange ment for the sale of the Baltimore Branch to one of the local Banks in that city, was 'expected lo bo closed on Thursday. It is understood also that overtures have been made for the sale of the New York Branch to one of the local Banks there. On Fkidav night, the tiger in the menagerie in Sixth street, contrived to escape from his cage, and having a good appetite, he beact the little Shetland poney that belonged lo the same concern. Having despatched the horso bo turned to one of the men belonging to the establishment, and would have torn him to pieces but for the timely interposition of some of the attendants. The beast was killed and the man saved. Phtla. Gax. Fkohi A.vriGUA. The Wilmington People's Press has received Antigua papers to the 18th ult. The hurricane of the 12th was terrific in that Island. It began at 4 o'clock P. M. and continued till midnight. When it was past, "the town presented a painful scene of wreck and ruin, in a wide wasting havoc and a confused intermixture of fragments of houses, trees, enclosures, etc. Acounls- from the country state that the buildings, sugar works, and fields ofthe plantations, present an equally frightful picture. The lo3s is estimated at nearly half a million of dollars. 20 schooners and 2 bugs were driven on shore. Several blacks were killed on the plantations, by the falling of houses, &c.' it Sawyer's Patent Brick Machine. The right to use this machine in the city of New Orleans, has, we learn, been sold within a few days, for twelve thousand dollars. The purchaser was the agent of a company, who intend to erect a macnine witn tmr-ty-two moulds, which, operating ct the ordinary speed, will turn out about one hundred thousand bricks per day, sufficient to supply the demand ofthe city. The right for Illinois, with the exception of a few counties, was sold some time since for $7,000. Lov. Pub. Adv. It is said, wo are told, upon respectable aulhoriry, that a carriage containing three females, was attacked, and fired at, nearViile Platte, some timo last week the darkness of the night prevented them seeing the ruffians. We are glad the inmates were preseved from murder, or any other detestable crime, and suffered no other injury than the shaking of their delicate nerves. Opelousas Gazette. The Genesee Flats.
