Ituah Township.—There are many citi
zens of our county, we apprehend, who
are iijnorant of the existence of such a
township within itj limits. It is situat
ed between Peters rnouniain and the Kit-
talinny, and adjoins Lebanon. The
V’holo ofyts inhabitants i& comprised of
one family, the head of which, a man by
the name of Whittle^ emigrated a number
of years since from Enijland, with a for
tune of 837,000, in cash, and sought out
this place for its wild and lonely situa
tion. Previously to his settling there,
the foot of a civilized man had rarely
penetrated the valley, unless it was occa
sionally a solitary hunter with his rifle,
in quest of game. It was only accessi
ble, by an Indian path ; and for several
)ears lie cai ried all his j)rovisions over
the mountain, on his back ; he at length
made a clearing ” erected a mill, u
blacksmith sliop, and a carpenter shop
entirely for his own use, and was his own
miller, his own carpenter, and his own
blacksmith. He is said to have been an
enlightened man, and lived contentedly
iind happily amidst the mouniuins and
the wild beasts, without being at all with-
j;; the power or the protection of the law.

PowDKii I’l.ur. — Al)()ut 1] o’ciuk last
evening two young men walking by the
iSIeeting house in this place, discovered
a l)laze of fire at the souih door of the
bouse. Oti approacliiiig it they found
the lower part of the dc^or burnt through,
and the casing nearly consumed several
inches Croin the bottom—the fire was
immediately extinguished. On entering
the house a cask (jI‘gun powder was dis
covered on tiie floor near the centre of
the streplc at^lhe north end of the house,
and a trail of powder laid from the cask
through the aisles to the south door, and
■wiihin a few inches of the tire when dis
covered. Had the fire continucil to bum
a few minutes longer the design of the
incendiary would have been accomplish-
t'd. No circuiDstances have yet come to
light siiflicient to attach suspicion to any
particular person; but it is earnestly hop
ed that so dariiig and nefarious a deed
will not long remain undiscuvered and
unpunished.

Lead on the Alississijjpi.—The quantity
ot lead made on the right batik of the
Mississippi, betweeh the mouths of the
Missouri and Illinois, is very great.—
There arrived at New-Orleans, in the va
rious forms of jiigs, bars, and shot, (hir
ing the two years which ended on the
first day of October last, 7,500,000 lbs.
exclusive ot the great amount consumed
in the States and Territories bordering
on the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio.
The Missouri Caravan.—The company
of enterprizing citizens, which we latelj
mentioned as preparing another mercan
tile lour lo New Mexico, has left he.e
and entered on the arduous undertaking.
Between 80 and 100 persous, we believe,
constitute the number who have gone on
the present occasion—and the wagons
atul carriages of almost every descrip-
ton, are numerous. The amount of mer
chandize taken is very considerable;
and, if the adventurers are successful, the
foundations of many fortunes will be laid.
It has the air of romance to see splendid
pleasure carriages, with elegant horses,
journeying to the Kejiublic of Mexico;
yet it is sober reality. Nature has made
a fine road the w lu)le distance.

Me. Hi.voHAM ; I attended, on Saturday List,
an examination and concert of the young ladies
of tlivi (’harlutto Female Atademy, under the
immediate supei intc ndcncc and din-ction of the
Rev. Thus. Cottn II, his .Son, and Ihcir two La
dies. The exercises of the respective classes
were such as to da honor to the amiable and re-
spectaide persous w ho are at the head of the
Institution, as well as to give entire satisfaction
to the parents and jfuardians who attended on
the occasion. U is at all times gratilying to the
friends of literature, and ever must be so, to the
..dniircrs of beauty and female worth, to set the
minds of the fair sex cultivnted and emhellibh-
ed in such a manner as to make ivoiiiun not on
ly the wife of man, but his intelligent friend
and amiable companion. The land of Lafayette
affords iinuunerable instances, to what an eleva.
tioii the female mind can attain by a correct and
well ri gidated education. “ ’Tis true, and pity
’tis, ’tis true,” that in our own country, with all
our boasted freedom, stars of this description
have never shone in the literary firmament.—
None will pretend to assert, that it has been
owing to a want of genius in the American la
dies; for in this resi)cct, we can vie with the
proudest kingdom of Kurope. To what, then,
is it owing, but to a neglect of a proper direc
tion being given to tiic minds of our fair daugh
ters,—to the intellectual attainments of those
who, at an aft-'v period, are to become moth
ers to the heroes, statesmen, and warriors of
our country >
From the acknowledged talents of the per
sons who are at the head of this infant institu
tion, and from the admirable specimen wliich
they have given of their method of teacliing,
I hazard nothing in recommending the Institu
tion lo the liberal patronage of the public.

MONTICELCO, NOV. IJ, 18 i 8.—The pub

boding. Tried myself in the scliool of

connexion which can rive the human
heart, I know well and feel what you
have lost,—what you have sufTered,—are
sufiering,—and have yet lo er.dure. The
same trials have taught me, that, for ills
so immeasurable, time atid silence are
the only medicines. 1 will not, therefore,
by useless condolcnccs, open afrtish the
sluices of grief, nor, ?dthough mingling
sincerely ujy tears with yours, v.ill I say
a «ord more, where words arc vain ; but

the term is not very uislaut, at which wr
are to deposite, in the same cerement,
our sorrows and oi;r sutlcriiig IjcrJies ;
and to ascend in (-serice, lo an eitaiic

and lost, and wfiom we shall still have and

beneath the soil which it moistened.—

per relief, the men and the deeds of that

temporary worthies IS. gone ; the crowd
ot the unsignalizrd gn at and good disaj)-
pears ; and the leaders in war as well as

their stands on the mountof remembrance.
They come from the embattled clifl's of
.\braham j they start from ihe heaving
sods ot Bunker’s Hill; they gather from
ihe blazing line of Saratoga and York-
town ; from the blood-dyed waters of the
Brandywine ; from the dreary snows of
Vdllt-y Forge, and all the hard fought
fields of the war. With all their wounds
and with all their honors they rise, and
plead with us for their brethren who sur
vive, and bid us show our gratitude, not
by sounding words, but by stretching
out the strong arms of our country’s pros
perity, to help the veteran survivors
gently down to their graves.”
A lady who visited Mr. Jefferson in
1822, says that in his Cabinet, a coarse
looking volume attracted her notice. On

was entitled Libels, and contains all that
has so lavishly, during the war of poli
tics, been written against him.”
Every week brings us tidings of iiujjor-
tanl changes cflecled in favour of the ad
ministration, among those who were
once its opposers : and these chanjrer of
opinion, are those of gentlemen of talents
and intelligence, who, reflecting on the
unreasonal)leness of an opposition, whose
motto is, to “/>?// doivn at all events,have
wisely abandoned a cause, who.se leading
principle is to oppose, whose reigning
virtue is vioIence.—Ueally, the mal-con-
tents are ligging their ow n graves.

' portion of their readers for this infliction
on iheir patience and good sense, but they
add, that ‘‘it will be some consolation to
Ihe reader to ktiow, that the mails furn
ish noilnng half as good lo oPrer them.”

Ankcuoik —To judge from similarity
of style, one would suppose that Sir
William Draper had hit. upon the writer
of the celebrated letters of Junius. Meet
ing a gentleman at a parly who had been
pointed out lo him as the w ritcr, he thus
boldly accosted him : “I am infonned.
Sir, that you wrote the letter which aj>-
peared in to-day’s Public Advertiser, un
der Ihe signainire of Junius. Will you
till me whether you did, or did not.”
Really, Sir,” replied ih.e stranger, “that
is a ciucstion I am rtdieved from the ne
cessity of answering. If you believe
your informer, it is needless; if ytju do
not, it is rat/ici- rude to fasten a suspicion
on me from the informatiiiti of a man you
suspect to be a liar.” “Sir,” retorted
the General, warmly, “ Lord 'I'albut chal
lenged Mr. Wilkes on a similar occa
sion.’/ “And jou, Sir,” rejoined the
stranger, coolly, “ may adopt his lord
ship’s example, but 1 shall not make Mr.
Wilkes’ conduct the standard of mine ;”
adding, as he was turning on his hCel and
walking away, “ if you were to di^pati h
one Junius lo-f!ay, you would have ano
ther to encounter before the end of the
werh.”
