Tt is ascertained that the stratum of silver, at the piace where the auger penetrated, is 6 feet 7 inches thick. Some ot our readers may wish tokiiowhow the thickness of the stratum was ascertained with so much precision. The instrument called the suger is from 1 2 to iS inches in length, to which a poic or suitable size and convenient length is firmly attached, and as occasion requires, an additional pole is attached to the preceeding one til! thev descend in some instance?, more than 500 feet in a rock which extends all through this part or the country with, generally, from 10 10 20 feet ot irood soil covering it.

THE FLU R IDAS. I 'rem t!" Satinud Advccjs. A pamphlet has been published in London, under the following title: w i be Cession ot the Fioiida to Ameriea, and the necesMt) of acim'uin:; tiie Island of Cuba by Great Britain; by F. Ratienbury, Esq." The t-nrofa- of the Florida, so important to the United States, and so perfectly useless to Spain, has created much excitement in Great Britain. Already have real or imaginary fears magnified the increasing power of the Union, and aroused the jealousy, it not awakeued the alarm of our good transatlantic friends, who fear that we are about to ruin ourselves with too much territory, aud, like a patient in a Plethora, we want bleeding. To provide a remedy, however, they are bent on having Cub, "peaceably or forcibly,' in order to maintain a position from which the commerce and prosperity of the United State may be easily annoyed; but, under this mak of fear, a ray cf English ambition and jeab ousy is strongly visible: they perceive the Spanish monarchy tumbling to pieces, and trom the wreck they arc desirous of bearing oil what is most valuable, and otfer in excuse the injury which they will receive irom the transfer of Florida to the United States. We certainly arc not indebted to the liberality or justice of English writers: our character, institutions, and national feeling

have been unhandsomely represented bv them all; vet, when jealousy, alarm, or distrust is to be awakened, they can speak the truth on cardinal points. From the Utica Patriot. Shiuliir Explcit. A singular conllict with a large Panther is related to have uken place a few days since, in Jefferson county. Mr. Rich, formerly the conductor of a newspaper in Waterton, went out to examine some traps which had been set for wolves, and found a panther caught in one ot them. He returned, and 'procured a friend to accompany him, for bunging in the aninrd alive. When they arrived at the trap, they found that the panther had disengaged itself and escaped. They soon discovered it at no great distance. Mr. Rich advanced towards it, and his companion retired and leit him. Mr. Rich tired and shot the panther through the head. Having discovered what he ;scd iQ 5C another he initantly loaded and tired again, but found he had mistaken his object. Immediately, however, he perceived a large one ad vancing towards him, which sprung at him fiercely, with its mouth open, betore he could load his piece, lie t hurst hii hand into the mouth ot the panther, and caught hold of his his tongue. The panther scratcned furiously, but Mr. R. kept hi hold, until he took from his pocket a jack knife, which he opened whh the as:itancc of Iris teeth, and cut she tn.oat of the panther, lioth the panthers were after wads brought into Watertjwu. Mr. R. was bad ly scratched, and ms clothes nearly torn off. Putnam's exploit With tllC WO-l Was . "fool

to thu. t N. York, J.;n. 10. A letter to a gentleman in this city, dated oil the Bdize, Dec. 7, states ''the U. States Revenue Cutter L ni.sa, capt. Loomh, had seized the British ship Francis & Eliza, of London, with two clearances, one Lorn Mariretta, and tfie last from Falmouth, Jam. The latter subjected her to seizure under the Navigation Act ot April, 1809, which prohibits ail trade with British VVcet India colonies, in English bottoms, or even touching at or clearing out from them. She :s a Jine ship of 350 tons, and carries io guns. 1 here is no doubt she will be condemned. She is one of the ships that left England with troops for the Patriots of South America.' FOR THE REPUBLICAN. THE MAIDEN FAIR. Let kings, in royal picador reign. And monaixh bct their proud domain; Let ptiuccs sin;; the r.obler birth, Of taoe that 1 ale aud say the eardi. Let him who marshaPd legion Luds, Kecount and tell his valVous deed-: With warlike pride relate and Uii. How victors fought, or cowards fe! ; Or how his breast with vulor beai. And thiob'd, the hostile band to meet, How blood and carnage filled the field Or adverse foes were forced to yield; How he amidit sulphurious clouds And match-burnt blazes, led his crowds, Thro vrhut phalanges charg'u his nay, Whiht smoke ti'iuir'd the c:h of ( 1

Or how each soul with fond desire Inhal'd the flame of martial fire, Whilst earth's strong base, and heavends high vault Seem'd rending by the dire assault. Of deeds like these let others boast, But I the maiden fair, will toast. For whom the swelling heart beats high, For whom earth's noblest sons must sigh; Before whose shrines the monarch bows And lords confess, and own their vows. To them the boasting victor yields Who vanquished thousands in the fields. Nor did the crimson stream e'er move In one but felt the force of love Ye maiden fair: for you I say Refinement marks progressive way. For you the vicious stand in awe And libertines from vice withdraw. For you the roving mind returns, For you the breast, with fervor burns. For you the hero trophies, brings, For you the bard his sonnet signs. And all below the spangled blue Are forced at last to yield to you. VIRGINIUS.
