Indeed it seems he has used every means in his power to prevent impositions upon purchasers and the Government, and has asked advice of the Secretary of the Treasury as to what means he shall adopt to guard against the encroachments of speculators. In answer to interrogatories which 1 put to the Receiver on the subject of exchanges of scrip, he replied iu the accompanying notes marked b and r. The Receiver has purchased no lands on tus own account, nor in tiust for others. Nor has i. fur ns I can discover, loaned any ot the

The books iu this office were brought up to the day of examination. The penmanship is rood, and the entries generally made with accuracy. The Rrsrister is assisted by his son, who is a very cap ble and attentive clerk. I was astonished to find that no entries had ever been made in the township plats from the commencement of the office! The predecessor of the present incumbent had a high reputation Cor c.vnprtency ; and, having held his office tor more than twenty years, the present Register, who had no previous experience in the manner of kec.ina land office books, very naturally inferred ' (as frequent examinations of the office hid taken place during the time of his predecessor,) that the entries on me im .. ... veresmn.

Comparisons were instituted, according to your instructions, which proved the books to have been coirectly kept. The penmanship is plain and neat, and the books generally free troni blots and interlineations. No scrip w as found in this office, nor could I hear ol tiny in the town; which nufficiently proves that neither Receiver nor RegUtt r are ai all concerned in facilitating the speculations iu this paper, so frequent at some other offices. 1 was very particular in my inquiries on this sub ject; ami am well satisfied that no improper transactions iu scrip have ever oeen perpeiraieu at either of the offices iu Vincennes. The furniture of the Receiver's office conmnts for books, old and worn, worth about ten dollars; one paper case with folding doors eight dollars and a common iron chest. the book case is without doors, and the books exposed to flies and dust. An improvement in the furniture, to the amount of twelve or fifteen dollars, is essential to the convenience of the -officer; and I respectfully recommend that the Receiver be instiucted to make the same. The Receiver resides at his office, and gives his daily personal attention to his duties. llis character stands fair as a public and pr.vatc6 mail, and his amiable and obliging disposition renders him a very popular and valuable olli ctr. KEGITTEIl's OFFICE. The several books in this office were found posted up to the commencement of the examination. They are all kept with remarkable neatness and accuracy. The venerable Regis, ter is assisted by his son, (a very competent and obliging cleik,) and both give their daily personal attention to the duties of the office. The character oi the Register is altogether unexceptianal,and has been well known to the Government for the last thirty y ears. I consider him among the best officers iu the service of the department. The Register's leger is filled up, and a newbook required. No new furniture is desired ny lue negisier, although most of that in his office is his own pri-, vate properly. The public desk and boolc-case are of little value, say fifieen or twenty dollar?.

BOTHER THE MAILS. We have the .National Intelligencer of the 1st. 5ih and Glh, but the dates between these are Mill behind. In the Journal of the Senate of the 2nd inst.(a copied into the Baltimore Patiiot) we perceive that r tir en at or, M i II end i icks, ha made a epterh upon the Waba?h que9 lion and a publication, of it is promiked. It is probably inserted iu the papers now taking the circuitous route to Madison by the way of Indianapolis', by which half the Intelligencers of late, have been sent and we shall ptobaldy get it in a week or two. This kind of mail route huaineai is a real bolheratinn. By the by, we have one question to ask Mr. Barry, through Gov. Hendricks, (if he plea-e ) Why is it that we have not j a direct mail fiotn Madison via. Lexington i to Salem? The disjointed afiair needs remedying. The mail from Vernon passes through Lexington to Salem and Paoli, one day too soon, or one day before the mail from Madison arrives a! Lexington. This causes at Lexington a delay in the passage of papers and letters sent on that route of six days! The power that regulates these matters ehould put a linger upon the mail that goes from Vernon to Paoli and turn back its operations one day. Then all would be right, and go like clock work. Will Major Barry atteud to this little affair ? IT DD LING TO THE SAME TUNE. A gentleman put up at u country tavern, w here it it- common, in cases ol emergency, to put two in a bed. He retired to rest; but la had not lain long, before he heard the landlord, followed by a g, stump,)e aong towards his room, ; r & ,, , ;,, i l.im..lf VM I v 11 LIU lili Itltwir nnitj v f "1 hope he's not going to thrust another man into bed. I'd us soon sleep with the devil as with one of my own sex. Id unnatural; ami then who knows but what he will give me some terrible disease the small pox, the measels, or the Scotch fiddles? Ha! that reminds me now ol whatl will do to get rid of the fellow." All this passed through his mind, and by the time the landlord opened the door, he was sitting upon his bed, as if just awakened from his sleep, and industriously drawing the nail of one hand over the back and between the lingers of the oth er, besides eagerly tci utchitig iu other places "Landlord," said he, what's nil this for! Why do you come and disturb me after i was fail ly asleep'. O, what a comfortable dream I had!

IVritlen for the Saturday Evening Post GEOGRAPHICAL INSCRIPTION OF BACHELOR'S ISLAM). By a lady. Bachelors Island is situated on the burning sands of the deserts of Folly, where even the savage inhabitants of the foiest seldom veture to tread. , It is boun ded on the east, by the regions, of AfTec tation, Vanity and Deceit; on the north, by the territories of t ear and Cowardice; on the south, by the burning zone Remorse, Disease and Death; and on the west, by the dead Lake of Oblivion. Hence it is easily to be supposed, that the air of this island is sultery and pestiferous; exposed to perpetual scenps of storm, hurricane and tempest; and its climate, like the minds of its inhabitants, is never settled for an hour. The Spring of Bachelor's Island totally differs from that ot any other 1 have hitherto .read of as that, is here the seaeon of the most pcrnicioos heat, and in which the generality of its inhabitants are possessed with a kind of madness, the most destructive to themselves, the most injurious to every ciztlized country, and the mo&t subversive of unguarded innocence. Those who weather ut the Spring, and live to see the summer, though 1 they loe a great degree of their mudness; yet in the season they become artful, hyp-1 ocrilif al, and treacherous. Their winter is truly despicable iudeed, since, among all nations upon earth, you cannot express your contempt of a man more pointedly, than by calling hiu; an old bachclor-n thiog that lives only for itself a thing that has no social harmony in its soul a thing that cares for nobody, and whom nobody regards a thing that, like a mushroom delights in bogs and morasse., but hates the generous warmth of the moon-day sun. 1 hough the natives ol this miser able island, make those of the isle of Matrimony the constant object of their ridicule; yet there have been numberless instances of their stealing from their owu island into that of Matrimony, nurses and restorers, after their constitutions had been nearly ruined in their former miserable abodes; for the isle of Matrimony, though clouds now and then gather over it, yet they serve only to render the remainder of the day more brilliant and cheerful. In Bachelor's Island, love is a thing much talked of, but totally unknown to them; and they are hated and despised, robbed and plundered, by the objects of their miserable embraces. How many have quitted this island, and fled to that so much despised, in order to repair their ruined fortunes, by seeking a rich aud amiabe patner? Bachelor's Island is a mere desert, incapable of producing any thing but nettles, thorns kbriers; here are no bleating lambs to please the eye of innocence; here are no doves to cherish their young, nor does the useful fawn bound over that barren plains, but wolves, tigers, and crockediles, are seen in abundance. Here are neither wife nor chilchildren to weep over the ashes of the deceased; but owls hoot, ravens croak, and the reptiles of tiie earth crawl over their graves. In short, of all animals that ever nature produced, an Old Bachelor mus be the most contemptable : he lives a useless being on earth dies without having answered the end of his creation, in opposition to the mandate of his Great Maker, and is at least consigned, even to oblivion! c. b. b. WASHINGTON'S RULES OF LIFE. Washington lived by rule. Some of his rnles of action he has left behind him ran ll'Sl HI in writing. 1 hey are puoiiMiea in mr. Spark's collection of his papers. It is intersting to know by what rules so perlect a character was formed. We subjoin a few. Associate yourself with men of good quality, it you esteem your own repution, lor it is better to ue alone than in bad company. Let your conversation be without malice or envy, for it is a sign to trac lable and commandable nature, nnd in all cases of passion admit reason to govern. Utter not base and frivolous things amonjrst errown nod learned men, nr very difficult questions or subjects amoi g the ignorant nor things heard to be believed . . Speak not of doleful things in time ol mirth; nor at the table, speak not of rnelancholly things as death and wounds and if others mention Ihem, change if you can the discourse. Tell not your dreams but to your intimate friends. Break not a jest where none take pleasure in mirth. Laugh not aloud nor at all without occasion. Deride no man's mis fortunes though there seem to be some cause. Speak not injurious words neither in jest or earnest. Scoff at none, although they give occasion. Be not forward but friendly and cour-

teous; the first, to salute, hear and answer; and be uol pensive wheo it is a time to converse. Detract not from others, but neither be excessive in commending. If two contend logeiher, take not the part of either unconstrained: and be not obstinate in your own opinion: iu thitiga indifferent b of the major side. Reprehend not the impel lections of others, for that belongs to parents, masters and superiors. Gaze not at the mark or blemishes of others and ask not how they came. What you may speak in secret to vour

friend, deliver not beforeothers. When another speaks b attentive vour. self and disturb not the audience. If any hesitate in his words, help him not. prompt him not without being desired: interrupt him not nor answer him till his sueech ba ended. Make no comparisons; and if any of the company be commended foranv brave act of virtue, commend not another for the same. Be not apt to relate new?, if you do not know the truth thereof, iu discoursing of thi ngs you have heard, name not vour author always. A secrpt discoi er not. Undertake not what ou cannot per form: but be cureful to keep y our prom ises. When jour superiors speak to any ody, here them neither speak nor laugh . in dispute, be not so desirous to over come as to give liberty to each one to deiver his opinion, and submit to the judge ment of major part, especially it they are judges of the dispute. bpeak no evil of the absent, for it is un just. Make no show of taking great delight in your victuals, feed not with greediness cut your bread with a knife, lean not on the lable, neither fiod fault with what you eat. Be not angry at the table whatever happens, and if you have reasons to be so, show it not, put on a cheerful countenance, especially if there be strangers, for good humor makes one dish a feast. Set not yourself at the upper end of tho table, but if it be your due, oi the master of the house will have it so, contend noft lest you should trouble the company. When you speak of God at his attributes, let it be seriously in reference to honor, arid obey your natural parents although they be poor. Let your recreations bo manful, not sinful. Labor fo keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience. Mason and Dixon's Line. --Whenever the rights, interests, or duties of the Northern and Southern States, respectively, are iu question, reference is commonly made to"Mason and Dixon's Line." This boundary is eo termed from the names Charles Mason aud Jeremiah Dixon of the two gentlemen who were appointed to run the unfinished lines in 1 76 1 , between Pennsylvania and Alary land, on the territories subjected to the heirs of Perjn and I iOrd Baltimore. A temporary lino had been tun in 1739, but had not given satisfaction to the disputing parties, although it resulted from an Agreement in 1732 between themselves. A decree had been made in IC82 by King Ja'ues, delineating the boundaries between the lands giveu by chaiter to the first Lord Baltimore, aud these adjudged to his majesty (afterwards to William Perm,) which divided the tract of land between DeUware liay and the La stern sea on one side, aud the Chesapeake Bay on the other, by a line equally inteii-octing it drawn from Cape Henlopen to the 40th. degree of north latitude. A decree in chancery rendered the King's decree imperative. But the situation of Henlopen became long a subject of serious, protracted and expensive litigation particularly after the death of Peon in 17! 8, and of Lord Baltimore in lG14;till John and Richard and Thomas Penn, (who had become sole proprietors of the American possessions of their father William.) and Cecilious Lord Baltimore (Grandson of Charles and great grandson of Cecilius, the original patentee) entered into an agreement on the 10th of May 1732. To this agreement, a chart was appended which ascertained the site of Cape Henlopen, and delineated a division by an east and west line running westward from that Cape to the exact middle of the peninsula. Lord Baltimore became dissatisfied with this agreement, and heendeavoted to invalidate it. Chancery suits, kingly decrees, and proprietary arrangements foL lowed which eventually produced the apointuoent of commissioners to run the "temporary line." This was effected in 1739. But the cause in chancery being decided in 1750. new commissioners were appointed, who could not, ho never, agree, and the question remained open till 17C1, when the line was run by Messrs. Mason and Dixon. Salem Ga2t.tte. Baltimore is filled with spurious 25 Cent piece of coinage of 1832; they are pewter wwrhed with silver.
