. ‘One of the most severe storms of rain and
hail that we recollect ever to have witnessed,
was experienced here last Saturday. It coin-
rhencedaborit quarter past one, I’. M. and
continuediiearly air hour, during which time
the earth was wrapt in almost total darkness.
The pattering of the. rain, which descended
in torrents, tlierattling ofthe hail, the roaring
ofthe thunder, the brilliant fiashingof the
lightning, and the gloomy aspect ofthe heav-
ens, all cqirspii'ed to render the scene grand
and terrific beyond description.
ILis said that Mr. Edwards, the gentleman
appointed by Gov. Wolcott to supply the
place ofMr.Boardman, in theU.S. Senate, is
strongly opposed to Mr. Crawford, asta caiidi-
date for the Presidency. This appointment,
of course, does not suit Maj. Noah, and he is
otit upon the Governor in a great rage for ma-
king it. Among other pretty things, he says,
‘We have here_another proof of the limited
faith which democrats can repose in the fed-
eralists of ’98.' He declares that Mr. Craw-
ford is the candidate of Coiriiecticut,-—-says
thatthe appointment will not be confirmed by
' the Legislature,—and doubts whether Mr.
VVolcottwill again be a candidate. Perhaps
it maybe of some benefit to the Major to in-
form him that the people of this state can
as yet manage, their own concerns without
his assistance. ,
A new arrangement has lately been made
by th_e Post-Master General for the collection
of newspaper postage, by which newspaper
pulishers are required to furnish a quarterly
accourit_, under oath, of all the papers tlre_v
put into the post-office. The P. M. General
says this plan has been adopted from a con-
viction;that notmore than halfthearnountthat
should be received from newspaper postage IS
realized at his office. It is calculated that
$50,000 a year will accrue to the Depart-
ment by this arrangement.
The editor-ofthe" Salem Gazette thinks the
next Congress will have but little work to do,
except such as it cuts out for itself, and that
the session might be dispensed with, were it
not necessary to make Appropriations, in or-
der to keep the salary—men from starvirtg. It
will, he says, contain an unusual number of
disfinguislied and able men ; among others,
\Vebster, Clay, Edward Livingston, General
Jackson, and Col. Hayne, men who would
be celebrated in any country for their brilliant
talents and’powerful eloquence.
Thelegislanire of Tennessee have passed
'\,,resolutions directing their members of Con-
\
gress not to attend a Caucus at \Vashiiigton.
Advices from Natchez to September 24th,
state that no new case ofthe epidemic had ap-
peared in that place for the last four days.——
The board ofliealth_ were directing the usual
precautionary measures preparatory to the
return ofthe absent citizens. The total num-
ber.in the place on the 19th, was 784.
A letter from Bainbridge, Ohio, states that
‘the physicians of that place report 455 cases
of sickness within 7 miles of the town.
The last Georgetown Metropolitan says,
‘ we are sorry to learn that the indisposition of
Mr. Crawford, is still considered alarming.’
Mr. Clay we.believe has recovered.
\.Storm in Lout'simta.—Accounts from St.
Francisville, dated 17th Sept. state, that one
third of the crops of cotton and corn have
been destroyed by the late storm. Many
bridges had been carried away. A new bridge
over Bayou Sarah is destroyed. The injury
done in the Parish of Point Coupee is still
greater than in-Feliciana; and to add to the
-general calamity, the river had undermined
its banks in several places, and acres ofground
in one or more places, nearly opposite, liave
sunk beneath the water.
\ In the Red River country, the injury to the
cotton is said to be incalculable, whole fields
being laid prostrate. In some districts it is
doubtful whether any sugar will be made.
It is stated in a NewOrleaus paper that the
ravages of the Crawfish during the last higli
water in the Mississippi, have been more ex-
tensive tlianever before known. In repairing
the Levees the planters have found them per-
forated to an alarming extent, and the little
enemy is found embedded in crowds. It be-
comes a question of great importance how
they are to be exteroiinated, defence against
the waters being the first object with those who
reside on the banks ofthe American Nile.
A Milledgeville paper says there will be a
third less tlran an average crop nfcotton this
year in that state, owing t.o the rot. The
same paper also states that for 12 years there
has not been so sickly a season as the present
in that part ofGeorgia.
W/'ir_at.—The Troy Sentinel states that one
oftheir merchants paid last week 113. per
biislicl, for 1200 bushels of wheat, all raised
by one man in Vermont, and brought to that
city from 'i3‘irr~linglon in acanal-boat. The
price of whr-zit in New-York is only 103. 6d.
The Sentinal adds, ‘It is a fact, that the first
quality'ofwlie-.it does, and probably always
will coiimiand a higher price in this market,
than in any other on the banks ofthe Hudson,
by reason of the extensive flouting business
in which many of our capitalists are engaged.
Great yield.-—-The Burlington Sent. states
that a gentleman of that county raised the
past season, upon 8 acres and l~l0lh ofland,
215 bushels of wheat, which he sold. for seed
at 31 50 per bushel. ‘The particular mode
of cultivation we have not learnt, but presume
he pursues the best one, namely, to use no
more land than he can cultivate, well.’
Another Steam- Boat lost.—On the 20th tilt.
the steam-hoatVirginia,on her way from Lou-
isville to St. Louis, struck on a snag in the
Mississippi, 70 nrile:<‘a‘b'ovc\tlie mouth ofthe
Ohio, and sunk, with all her cargo.
A steam boat has been introduced into the
canal, at the west. At the rate of 4 miles an
hour, he was thought to produce less agita-
tion in the water, and to do less injury to the
banks, than a boatof the same size, going at
the saineratc, towed by horses in the usual way.
A part of the embankment at the last Canal
lock in Albany has given way. The damage
will be repaired in a few days, and the boats
, be able again to pass the lock.
'I‘he important subject of a canal to Buz-
.7..'ird’s Bay has been revived in the papers.
of the Great Miami and Sciola rivers, which
were intended to be comteyed to the summit
of the middle route of the prgected Ohio ca-
nal, will not afford a sufiicieiirsupply in a dry
season, further surveys have been abandoned.
The citizens of Philadelphia have subscib-
ed $488 for the relief of John Cotton, the sea-
man whose arms were shot off in a contest
with the pirates, and he has now gone to Bal-
timore, for further assistance. $1006 of the
money which has been collected, is to be de-
posited in the saving batik, and the other to be
eniployed as a capital to set liimup in the gro-
cery business New-York.
Dist;-essing occurrenca.—-Oii Sunday eve-
ning 12th inst. the dwelling house of Mr.Jolin
Whitman, of Milburn, Maine, was destroyed
by fire, and shocking to relate,all his children
(5 in mimber) perished in the-flames-—the el-
dest, a female, was 20, and the youngest 6
years old. The parents were absent at an
evening lecture,aiid it is probable the children
retired early to bed, and were insensible of
their danger till too late. It was appalling to
see their bodies, wrapt in flames, falling from
the chamber into the cel|ar,while the distract-
ed parents were with difficulty restrained from
rushing into the fire.
A letter from a lady in Harris, Oneida co.
(N. Y.) to her friend in'Whiting, (Vt.) states,
that while four ladies were taking tea togeth-
er iiear that place, two of them sickened and
died at the table, and the othertwo died the
next morning. On an examination ofthe tea
kettle, it was found that a hard worm had been
boiled in it, the poison of which was the cause
of their death. ,
A lad about It”. or 14 years of age, an ap-
prentice to a saddler at Petersburg, Vir. was
latelv ran away with by a horse on which he
was mounted, and falling from the saddle, his
feet hung in the stirrups, and thus he was
dragged a considerable distance on the pave-
ment, until ‘ released by a kick ofthe animal.
He was lifted up entirely lifeless, his brains
dashed out upon the rocks,and his body bruis-
ed in a shocking manner.
A few (lays sincea female in Elizabeth-
Town, N. J. in perfect health, was employed
to make a shroud for a deceased neighbour,
but she expired soon after it was finished, and
was clothed with it herself.
.Murder.—-Two men, named Andrew Fer-
guson and Julius Dagger, have been coinmit-
ted for trial to Monroe county jail, Indiania,
charged with murdering Isaac Edwards, of
Lawrence county in that state. It appears
that the murdered was pursued by his mur-
derers from a wedding, at which they all had
been guests. Ferguson and Dagger,gaveEd-
wards to understand that they intended giv-
ing him a flogging. Upon which he, like oth-
er men, unwilling to have corporeal punish-
ment inflicted without resistance,drew a knife
in self defence. The ruffians, then armed
tlrcmselves—-Ferguson with an axe, and Dag-
ger with a club. The fatal blow was given
by Ferguson, with the axe, upon the shoulder
of the deceased. On examination it was
found that the axe had penetrated to his
heart, in which a wound was discovered an
inch and a halflong-—-Not satisfied with this,
Dagger struck him twice with the club upon
his head. ‘
It is stated in the New-Orleans papers that
on the Blist tilt. the convicts in the jail of that
city attempted to escape. As one of the turn-
keys was opening a door leading to the yard,
a rush was made upon him to get the key, but
he thwarted their plan by throwing it through
the grating into the street. By this time an
alarm had been given, and the guards and
citizens assembled. Finding themselves un-
able to succeed by the front door,part ofthem
endeavored to escape from the roof of a low
building in the rear——here their progress was
arrested, but it was not until several shots had
been fired among them that they would retire
into the prison. In the mean time others tri-
ed to escape by cutting a hole through the
floor ofthe slicriff’s ofiice,hut a few shots soon
drove them from this point. All was now
quiet, and the mayor and part of the military
entered the prison,wliere they discovered that
one ofthe leaders was killed 81. another inor-
tally wonnded—3 others slightly wounded.
The Western Carolinian inform us that as
a gentleman on horseback was driving home
a negro, who was tied with a rope, and‘otlier-
wise shackled with heavy irons, weighing 36
pounds, he becoming wearied, flagged, on
which the man goaded him on rather harshly,
which induced him to revolt, and be seized
the .man by the leg, and pulled him off his
horse: a scuffle ensued, during which the man
got a knife out of his pocket, and attempted
to stab the negro, but the latter managed to
wrest the knife from the former, and cut the
rope by which he had been previously fasten-
ed. The odds was now fearfully against the
white mangthe negro tied him with the rope he
had cut loose from himself, toa tree, mounted
the horse and rode off.
A negro who had been purchased by a ne-
gro speciilator at Mobile, and who was about
to be torn from the bosom of his wife and fam-
ily, committed suicide after murdering the
whole of his family. He said, as they must
be separated on earth he chose rather to meet
them untimely in heaven, than to endure the
pangs and pains ofa life of misery.
The Boston Dai. Adv. mentions the fact
that two of the islands which defended the
harbour of this city from the swells of the o-
cean have disappeared within the memory of
persons now living, and says that two or three
of those remaining are in a fair way to share
the same fate unless means are used for their
preservation. Ifthis be the case, it is, certainly
one worthy public attention, and it would be
a_ pity for want of public care, to lose those
ornaments and defenders of our beautiful har-
bour.—Bo.r. Statesman
Mr. Chantray, the celebrated sculptor at
Piinlico, near London, is now engaged in
preparing a colossal statue of Washington, to
be erected in Boston. The inhabitants of
Massachusetts have subscribed nearly $15,000
for this object.
The Providence Journal states, that at the
late Cattle Show in Rhode Island, ‘ Dr.Benj.
Dyer, ofProvidence appeared clad in a com-
plete suit of silk, of a superior quality, manu-
factured in his "own family, even from the
culture ofthe trees tothe growing ofthe worms,

The capital prize of.tweiity Thousand Dol-
lars, in the lottery drawn in New-York last
week,was sold to two young men at work upon

At a late term ofthe Supreme Court ofR'

Capt. Symines has lately discovered a bird
and vegetable which he believes to be indigen-
ous to the centre gravity of the earth.
The greater part ofthe machinery of the
steam-packet New-York has been got ashore,
and hopes are entertained that she will final-

Apprehensions existed at Antigua, at the
last dates, of an insurrection of the negroes.
The Providence American remarks, that
the administration of the “far Department,
-since it ‘devolved on Mr. Calhoun, has been
distinguished by its system,econoiny and strict
accountability, and he has effected actual re-
ductions of expenditure, of between one and
two iitillioizs annually.
There are now living in Bristol, in good
health, twelve persons who were engaged in
Gen.Sullivan’s expidition on Rhode Island in
1778. What is a little singular, is, that six of
them were attached to one company, and en-
listed in 1775, under Captain Caleb Carr, of
Warren, who is also living ; the other six
composed one mess, were drafted at the same
time, marched together, and joined the army
the same day.
New-Jersey C’aual.——Mr. Clinton and Gen.
Bernard reuirned to this city on Wednesday
evening from a tour through New-Jersey, for
the purpose ofsurveying the route of the con-
templated canal from the Delaware to the wa-
ters of the Hudson, through the counties of
Essex, Morris, and Sussex. We underst;ind
that they traversed the whole line to its term-
ination at Easton, Pennsylvania, and are fully
satisfied ofthe pi-acticabilityand advantages of
such a navigable coinuiunication. ltis esti-
mated that the wliole expense of the canal
would amount to $800,000, and that the an-
nual amount of tolls, when the work is coin-
pleted, would not be less than 31.’i0,000.——
This high estiuiate of the amount of tolls is
justified by the consideration that the canal
will not only pass through a wealthy, agricul-
tural, aiid inanufacturing district; but also
through a section of the state abounding in
rich mines of var ous descriptioiis.- lminense
quantities of the Lchigli coal would also come
to this city through the same clianiiel. The
profits would therefore be iinuieiise, and add
greatly to the wealth and population ofN. Jer-
sey. It is said the recources of that state are
fully adequate to the untlertakiiig, iftlic Gov-
ernment and the people will but enlist in the
enterprise with becoming spirit, which it is
supposed will be the case. Interesting reports
may shortly be expected from the distinguish-
ed gentlemen who have been engaged in this
tour ofobservation. VVe uuderstaiid they ex-
press themselves highly gratilied with the fa-
cilities affordetl them in the execution oftheir
duties,,and the cliaractcristic hospitality evin-
ced by the citizens ofN. Jerscy.—Statesman.
WASHINGTON Ci'rY.—Respecting the state
of the Public Buildings, and the Capitol as
the principal one, considerable progress has
been made, during the season, torvaids the
completion of this magnificent edifice The
interior ceiling of the great central dome is
finished—a more extensive-labour than any
one can well conceive who has not seen it——
aud. the scaffolding is struck. This great hall
cannot be completed at once, because of the
sculpture of the entablature (we believe it is
called) which surrounds the hall and forms the
base from which the dome springs; but this
work is rapidly advancing. The rooms in
the back part of the centre building are mostly
plaistered and painted, and the Office of the
Clerk of the House of Representatives is re-
moved into asuite ofthese rooms, which have
been handsomely fitted up for its reception.-
Tlie spacious and elegant room which is to
receive the Library is also nearly finislred.—
'I‘lie alteration has been completed in the
Representatives’ Chamber, to make room for
the additional members who come in under
the new census, and does not detract from, as
We apprehended, but rather increases the
beauty of the Hall. Other alterations are
making in the lobby,to establish an easy and
appropriate communication between the Hall
Of Representatives and the Clerk’s Oliice
in the central building. Whilst these things
are going on within the edifice, the work
without has not been neglected. The exteri-
or of the great dome has been finished, and
the basement of the extensive eastern portico
and colonnade has been reared to a level with
the principal floor.
The improvement also which was ordered
last session for the President’s House, has
been executed with much proinptitiide, and
the noble circular colonnade on the south
from ofthat building has advanced almost to
completion. This fine building now wants
only the notliern portico to give it all the bean-
ty of its original design, and we trust Con-
gress will not suffer it to remain another year
without giving to it this finishing ornairieut.
The activity which has been displayed dur-
ing the season on the national works at the
Seat of Government, has we are happy to say
been emulated by the industry evinced on city
objects by our municipal authorities, and, we
may add,by private enterprise. That portion
of the City Hall which was obtained by the
government for the use of the Circuit Court
has_ been finished, and the Court, with all its
offices. removed thither. Other apartments
are preparing for the Orphans’ Court of ‘the
Coiiuty, and others" still, for professional offi-
ces, &c. The sum of 9000 dollars has been
expended in filling up the low grounds on the
Tiber; much progress has been made on the
new route to which the Canal is to be remov-
ed, and in a year oi two, the extensive tract
l
in front of the Capitol, lieretofdre a great part
of it a swamp, will offer to the view the Botan-
ic Garden and a planted and ornamented Mall.
In the City, within the p_ast season, sixty
private buildings, many of_ them large and
handsome houses, have been erected. A new
Baptist .Cliurch has also been added to the 14. .
places of public worship w_hich the city already
contained. Besides these public edifices a
large building has been reared opposite the
Department "of State for the Branch of the
United States’ Bank, which, when finished,
will form a conspicuous ornament tothe, city.
Several new Wharves have been built, indica- -
ting that our commerce is growing,new streets
have been opened and old ones iiiipr_oved;.a-
inougst them, the circular avenue around the
Capitol is opening to twice its former width,
and the facilities of communication generally
throughout the city have been extended and
improved.-—1iztelL , _ ‘ ,
Ma. JEFFBR.SON.-—-Tllnmas Earle- having
lately written an able pamphlet on ‘ theirighr
of states to alter or aimul charters, and the
decisions ofthe supreme court thereon exam-
ined,’ a copy of it was sent to Mr. Jefferson,
from whom the following letter has been re-
ceived in reply : .
‘That our Creator made tlie'eartli for the
use of the living, and not of the dead; that
those who exist not can have no use nor right
in it, no authority nor power over it; that
one generation cannot-foreclose or burthen
its use to another,wliich comes to it in its own
right, and by the same divine beneficence;
that a preceding generation cannot bind a
succeeding one by its laws or contracts, these
deriving their obligation from the existing
majority, and that majority being removed,
anot-her comes in its place with a will equally
free to make its own laws and contracts 2--
These are axioms so self evident that no ex-
planation can make them plainer: For lieis
not to be reasoned with, who says that non-
existence can control existence, or that noth-
iug can move something. They are axioms,
too, pregnant with salutary conscquences.—
The laws of civil society, indeed, for the en-
couragement of industry,_ give the property
of the parent to his family on his death, and
in most civilized countries permit him even to
give it by testament to whom he pleases.-
And it is also found more convenient to suf-
fer the laws ofour predecessors to stand on our
implied assent, as ifpositively re-enacted, rin-
til the existing majority positively repeals
them. Brit this does not lessen the right of
that majority to repeal, whenever a change
of circuinstances, or of will, calls for it. Hab-
it alone confounds civil practice with natu-
ral right. Of the merits ofthe pamphlet I
say nothing ofcoiirse ;liaving found it neces-
sary to decline giving opinions on books, even
when desired.’
