We have the gratifying intelligence that De Witt Clinton, who has truly 44done the state some service,' has been re elected Governor of New York, by a supposed majority ofbetween 2 and 3,000. It is stated that a considerable majority of the members of the legislature arc Mf7-Clin tonians.

Ixgfnuitv. Mr. Hoy!, the inventor of

Cast Steel Bells and Flax Breaks, has also invented a Churn, a Threshing Machine, a Portable Fire Place and Fender, and a Jack Screw, for all of which he has patent rights, tie has also invented a Com Shelling Machine, which will shell a bushel a minute, and a Power .Machine for the former he has applied for a patent, but has

r.ot for the latter. He is of la nkce origin.

and a cooper by trade. A Georgetown (D. C.) paper sajg, in relation to the Power Machine, "It is intended to raise timber for ship building, or stone for masons. We saw a child live years old raise a thousand pounds with ease. We need no longer wonder how such hn;e masses were raised in ancient limes for buildings. This machine at once developes the principle. Mr. Hovt, of Indiana, is the ingenious inventor." The cord by which a thousand pounds are raised, is said to be no larger than a large knitting needle. A duf.l The Port Gibson (Miss.) Cor

respondent, of the 19th Oft. last, relates,

with all the earnestness, and with the ap parent satisfaction that commendable nc lions merit, the particulars of a duel that

had recently taken place on the bank of

the Mississippi, between two gentlemen. whose courage, or course, cannot be doubled, as they fought with muskets, loaded with 15 buckshot, lit 30 paces distance. B- th were wounded. To us simple republicans, who are wont to reflect upon actions abstracted from all considerations of false pride, the practice of duelling appears in a very "questionable shape'

and that of recording the particulars of

such redoubtable adventures, without a s liable of disapprobation, as scarcely deserving of less censure. If such notices have any efieet, it will be to nourish in fiery and Impetuous minds a disposition to shine in a similar manner; and to allay in others the horror naturally excited bytalcs of bloedv deed?.

Theory of tlic Earth. Ccscs, cn Egyptian merchant, having renounced Im profession and assumed the monastic character, wrote the "Christian Topography," in which he attempts to prove the earth to bo 'an oblong plane, twelve thousand miles in length from east to west, and sis thousand broad from north to south surrounded by high walls, and covered by the firmament as with a canopy or vault: that

!the vicissitudes of day and night were occasioned by a mountain of prodigious : heighth, situated in the extremities of the j north, round which the sun moved; that

when it appeared on one side rf the mountain the earth was illuminated, when concealed on the other the earth was left involved in darkness."

Last week a gentlemen purchased between 40 and 50.000 feet of cherry boards, and put them on board the canal boats, at this place, for Hartford, Connecticut. A gentleman who keeps a lumber yard in this village, rec ently received an order to furnish 20,000 feet of cherry boards and scantling, for the Rhode Island market! Who would have thought, ten years since, of transferring the products of our forests on the shores of L ike Erie to Narraganset Bay? Buffalo Putriot. Mr. T. I. Wharton in his discourse before the Penn society, at their late adversary, mentions, that the German Quakers, who settled at Geimantown, near this city about the year 1C82, were the first who issued a solemn protest against negro slavery so far back as the year 1688; and that he has counted no fewer than fifteen acts of assembly upon our statute books, all passsd Prior to the Revolution, with the same object the abolition of slavery.

Rhode Island and Louisiana are at the extremes, in respect to salaries to governors and judges in the first, the governor receives 400, ami the judges of the supreme court 200 dollars a year: in Louisiana the salary of the governor is 7,500, and the judges of the supreme court 5,000 dollars a year.

A correspondent of the Richmond Whig, rec commends the cultivation of the vine in Virginia as one of the staple crops. The climate and soil, he saye, are admirably adapted to it. Wheat and tobacco can novr hardly be made to yield six pjr cent on the capital, and cotton is a drug. The time required for raising grapes is less than f r apples and peaches, and the labor of making wine no greater than that of making cider. Brandy is also easily manufactured.

Mr. B. Swan has been re-elected twenty-six times in succession, a Treasurer of the state of Vermont. Mr. I. Haywood, of North Carolina, has been re-elected thirty different times. But these examples are nothing when compared with that of Samuel VVy His of Connecticut, who was annually chosen Secretary of State for sixty vears, and after his death his son was re-elected for 15 years, untill he also died.

A well was dug in the town of Beaver, Pa. to the depth of twenty feet, when the water appeared, which continued and filled up the well to the surface and pours out a steady stream of water.
