stdering his hair-brained threats to he as harmless as the weapons of that valorous knight, who killed armies by computation: But as a general disposition is evinced by our brethren of the type, to hold up the hero to the world, as a rare specimen of a rare material, we would make our mark on the carricature. tho' it is already like "Hogarth's Rake's Progress," beyond conception painted to the life. We cannot treat the subject seriously, for no one can believe the Governor was serious himself when he wrote his bulletin. We cannot think the style and manner of his remarks, worthy of censure, because to criticise them, would be to treat them with too much importance. We can only laugh, and we shall laugh, and that too most heartily when this man of buckram attempts to revive the farce between Prince Hal and Fallstaff on Gad's Hill a farce equalled only by the application of oak bark the spi inkling of Cologne water, and the smooth surface of black silk. Crisis,

It is well known that there is a very powerful party in Georgia, who are determined to drive the Creeks from what they are pleased to call the Georgian territory, and dispossess them of a very rich inheritance. At the head of this party is Governor Troup ; and its violence has long been manifest. There is also a formidable party in the state opposed to their measures, as a violation of the rights of men, the obligation of solemn treaties, and the great principles of Christianity.

Bunker Hill. We have an account of

this magnificent ceremony, but supposing that an official or retrular statement of particulars will he published, we shall defer a long notice of it until prepared to make due record of the transactions of the day, which belong to us and our children. The procession was a mile and a half long, and

contained ahout 8,000 persons, of whom, 2,000 were masons, splendidly dressed, according to their different orders. The troops were not ven numerous, being only an escort. The collection of people was exceedingly great the streets, through which the procession passed, were filled, as were also the houses on them. Seats were provided for 15,000, to hear the oration pronounced bv Mr. Webster. The ladies present, amounted to many thousands, and it is estimated that not less than f)0.000 men witnessed the ceremonies. 4,400 plates were set for dinner, at the rrand dining place, and every one was occupied. A number who fought in the battle 50 years before, were present these yere all accomodated with carriages. "lie whole number of persons who were actor or spectators on this occasion, could not have been less than 150,000! Niles.

African colony. By the brig Hunter, captain Montgomery, (late Peters), which sailed from this port w ith the last emigrants to the colony at Mesurado, and arrived here yesterday, in 66 days passage from that settlement, we learn that the colonists, who went out in her were in good health, and that they together with the other colonists, continued in full enjoyment of that blessing, and good spirits, to the time of her departure.

From tlx; National Journal. The last Detroit Gazette which came to hand, gave such a flattering, and apparently fair, description of that portion of the territory of Michigan which lies along the river Raisin, that we cannot consent to withhold it from our readers. The advantages which it holds out to emigrants are many and great. For some time past, we have- noticed the great llux of-emigration winch has passed from Buffalo, N. Y. to Detroit; every steam and packet boat conveying hundreds to take up their residence in this fertile and temperate territory. The account which we have copied has a particular reference to Lenawe county, the principal town of which is Tecum-, seh, situated 36 miles from Detroit, 33 from Monroe, and 33 from Port Lawrence, on the Miami river; and the state ment is j signed by ten of the inhabitants: J The Peninsula of Michigan, surrounded

by the feat American lakes and their con

necting straits, indented by extensive bays and more than 20 navigable rivers, presents, in our opinion, more convenient locations for the enterprising merchant, mechanic or farmer, than can elsewhere be found in the United States. The rivers are bounded by some, of the richest flats, or bottoms, in the world, and the uplands, after receding a few miles from the lakes, are high and extremelyfertile. The soil varies from a deep black loam to a fine sandy loam, intermixed with limestone pebble, and is generally very well watered with small streams fine pure springs are found in abundance.

The country presents a great variety of

openings and heavy timbered land. In the openings, extensive tracts may be found where there is not a tree to obstruct the use of the plough, and where all the vari

eties of grain can be produced plentifully,

and in no other country is there a more luxuriant growth of grass. This part of the territory is well adapt

ed to fruit. Apples, pears, quinces, grapes,

cherries and peaches, grow to an uncom

mon size,and we might challenge the world to produce better cider than is made in the

vicinity of Detroit and Monroe.

The timber of the country is generally

oak, maple, beach, black walnut, white wood, hickory, bass, cherry, butternut, sy

camore, sassafras and in the northern

parts there are extensive pineries. Limestone and clay are found in abun

dance in every part of the territory; and

an extensive bed of iron ore has lately been

discovered near the south line of this coun

As to health, we think that no country

is superior to this. Near the lakes and at

the mouths of rivers, a few cases of the fe

ver and ague are found; but the climate,

water, and the formation of the country , as well as the experience of emigrants, plain

ly indicate that Michigan must continue to

be as healthy as anv portion of the world.

Most of us have resided here nearly a year,

and can say with truth that we never en

joyed better health.

The climate of this part of the country is delightful. We have scarcely had a cold

day for the past year, and there has been no time when we could not plough, except a part of January. Wheat which was

sown on the 17th day of February looks

well, and our cattle, after living in the

woods all winter, are now in excellent or

der.

AvoTitnn ttpt.nsioN. While the steam

boat constitution was stopping at Pougb-

keepsie, to land some passengers, one oi

her boilers exploded, by which three per

sons, waiters or cooks, were scalded to

death. They were asleep, at 25 feet dis

tance from the boiler. As the accident

happened between 2 and 3 o'clock in the

morning of the 21st, and there were many passengers on boad, the confusion was very great, though no other than the three persons killed appear to have been injured. The explosion, or "collapse of the main flue," as it is called, took place when the steam was blowing off, and the safety valve up; and the boiler was not bearing more

than between 6 and 7 inches of steam,

though supposed capable of carrying 14.

The Missouri Advocate mentions, in terms of exultation, the act of the last session of Congress for the continuation of the road now making from Washington city, to the capital of Missouri, extending nine hundred miles. This, taken in connection with the one authorized to be made to Santa Fee, nine hundred, and thence to the city of Mexico, fifteen hundred, will make three thousand three hundred miles, the whole length of the road, "connecting," says the editor, "the Capitals of the two greatest republics in the world, and the immediate Capitals of the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, in the United States; and Santa Fee, Chihuahua, Durango Zacatecas, and San Louis Potosi, in the Republic of Mexico, and realizing the prediction of Humboldt that the day would come when coaches would run from Philadelphia to the ancient seat of the em pire of Montezuma."
