To my old lnend Mr D wight, of tho iN'ew-York Daily Advertiser: My last letter to you telled vou about that are scuffle 1 bad among some of our folks down staiis, and do you know it has been nigh bringing war among us. Mr. Van Puren came down her e all in a lather about it. He was plagy fraid there would be more voluntary dismissals; and be says it wont do to have too many of them all at once, or the folks about the country will begin to think that wc aint all imtfj. Some on em did try, I suspect, t j make muddy water between me and the Gineral, for one day when I vvas busy doin up some vvntin fir the Gineral, he was called out a id had a long talk with Mr Van Buren aud Amos Kindle, and some more on err., and when he came back, says he. Major. ! wish you ami I w as at the Hermitage -- Why. says 1, how so Gineral? Well.

Well no I thought, says the Gineral; but be says i' wnld be be?t only to hold it up by the ail, a you do a fox. and keep all the dog 'arking for it ; for as soon as you throw the fx in the crowd, a few old Jowlers jral bold, and the rest dont git a mouthfull: and then comes trouble. Well, say? 1. Gineral, that's true enuf. and that'? just the way we are doing now with ;he minister to England, and some other appointment?; we must keep the folks smellin round, and one vacancy to fill, say? I, i? worth a dozen filled up jBut, Major, that aint the worst trouble (now . says the Gineral ; and he got up, and jptomped about, and then came back and jfilled his pipe, and stomped about agin. without lighting it. 1 see there was trouble brew in Says he. Major, I dont care so murh about il myself; but they say you must make Amo Kindle an apology night. And with that 1 riz right up, mid 'walked straight up chamber, and put on 'my regimentals, and my cocked hat, and hooked onmv sword, and went 'trait down stairs to Amos. Here, sa ? I. mister, the " . .1. iQmern HayS you want to say something! to me O no, Maior. says he, there must j

be some mistake. Well then, says I, it is the luxuries ot intellectual enjoyment. that you want me to say something to you. Hut even the rich, we are persuaded, feel 0 no. says be, that's a greater mistake j as little their own interest in this arrange1 looked at him for about a mmit; and he ; ment a? the poor; for the wealthiest man shook like a North Carolina ague. Saysj alive, if he reflect at all, cannot but see, he, Major, I suspect the Gineral meant that if, on hi6 death, he leave a family beou to look over with me a statement I am! hind him, the majority of bis descendants,

crafts, or you will not employ them, even it they should oLer to do their work at an extiemely low price; foryouju-tly consider that work to be too dear, however cheaply done which is imperfectly or bunglingly done. Why, then, should the business of Teaching form an exception to this general rule of valuation? Ilete you would seem to act in opposition to your own principles; you do not seek for a good Teacher, but a cheap one; anil whether he has learned bis art or not, you care little; you ate satisfied il he profess to have learned it, and will not charge too much for the exercise of it. Hence your children, m many school?, learn nothing, or ocxi to nothing; and the most preciou 'imc of their lives is lost to themselves, their parents and to society.

Put this can never take place until ?uffieient induce ments shall he held out to Teachers, to Ibrm them?elvep into a regular Profession, and to study it ? stematically. With regard to the defect? of Education alluded to, we believe them to belong chiefly to Elementary or Common School?. And, indeed, we are not so anxious about ihe education ot the wealthy, which i9 already tolerably well provided for, as" about the education of those who earn their dnilv labor. How many a rine and vigorous mind is kept down, among this clas9 of the people, for want of the. benefits of early Education, which very Republic, that is tint a mere political farce, or Ambition?

Fellow-Citizens, and a? men. and as Christians, we have become thoroughly convinced, and we share in this conviction, we are assured, with the most thinking among yourselves, that unless an effective system of Popular Education be established in these Western States, we are on the very eve of losing all that moral and rational freedom which . - i : :..: terposition or your patronage, or, rather, we believe that their own proper merits can rivet your regards sufficiently, but we supplicate you, Fellow-Citizens, we implore vou, we most earnestly beg of you, do, do something more than you have done, for ihe cause of elementary and popular Instruction; take care that every youth in this free country shall be able at least to read; but do not, we beseech you, stop at this; see that he is also instructed in the history of his country, and in the knowledge of its laws, those laws, which are made for his observance. but how shall he either observe or do them, while he remains ignorant of them? But let il be remarked, in addition, that legislative enactments alone, can never effect this object, the general diffusion of Education among the people; if they could, we should have been al' well edncoted

A DOirUEE REFINED ROfJI I?. About two weeks ago, two fellows by the names of Ludlum and Fisher, were committed to Bridewell, the former chare ed with stealing a watch, and the latter with stealing a quantity of carpenter's tools. On Tuesday last, Fisher was bailed out, and was entrusted with a lettci from Ludlum to his wife, which he punctually carried, but before delivering it. represented himself a9 a deputy keepei of the prison, and insisted upon receiving 25 cents for his trouble. He then tolo Ihe woman that her husband had desired him to tell her to send by him a change of clothes, and she unsuspectingly made up a bundle consisting of a f air of pantaloons, a vest, hat. stock, two shirts, and other small articles, which Fisher carried forthwith to a pawnbroker' and pledged

a part of them for two dollars, eub- q:;rp?. ly disposing of the remainder in vaiious ways. The roguery was discovered by Ludlom's wife calling at the Iiridewell,

Cincinnati Gazette. Child Smothered. One of our packet masters, who arrived within a few days, states that a poor ignorant Swit? mother, at Havre, placed her son, a lad about three ears of age, in a box which she brought on board his ship among her baggage, under the false notion that she could in this way smuggle her child on board, and save pa) ing its passage. After bringing the box on board and secretly opening it, she found to her astonishment that the child was dead She appeared to be in great distress. There was no doubt the child was smothered by placing it in a situation in which the air wau excluded. Dai. Adv. DVNX'IXi AN I. HALS. Gocc, turkeys, cor.it?, &c are taught to dance by the following cruel method : The wins of the birds are bound cloe to their sides and then they are placed upon I he arena of a rl. stone, or plate of iron, beneath which is a fire, and the fides of which are barricaded sufficiently high to prevent escape. While one man plays a lively time, on the orc;an, or some other instrument, another blows the fire ; ami as the heat increases, the poor creatures lift their fert quicker, until the VR'ilts of their contortions and tho rapidity of their motions may be supposed to represent a dance. This system is persevered in until the birds, when placed n; on common earth, will dance in similar manner at the sound ol music. Hear-, dogs, monkeys. k.c. are taught to dance in a similar manner.

The nutmeg is an East India tree, about thirty feet high, with smooth obloncr leaves; it produces an ova! or globular fruit, of which the nutmeg is the seed, and the spice called mace, the arillus or cover. Although the fruit is nine months in ripening, it produces three gatherings annually : first in April, second in August, third in December. Parley"1 s Magazine.
