From the Pctersl)urfj hittlligcnccr.
Our esteemed correspondent continues
to travel and to write : The following;
description of Glenn’s Falls, on the Hud
son, Ncw-Vork, and the middle ground
from thence to Lake George, will, we
doubt not, be read with inierest :
Glenn’s Falls^ Jlup. 20, 1826.
It was a dull afternoon, when.I left the
Springs, to visit Lake George, intending
to slop a few minutes at CJlenn’s Tails,
which lie immediately in the route. This
spot and its neighborhood has become
more interesting of late, by the master
ly sketches of our American Waverly.—
He has selected this ground for the prin
cipal scene in his recent popular work,
“The Last of the Mohicans.” At the
falls, I was very fortunate, in securing for
a guide Mr. \V , a friend, who had
conducted the celebrated author himself
over the whole field ; his descriptions are
most correct, and the faithfulness of
them is one of the cliief excellencies of
his happy style. 'I'he Falls, the Banks of
the River, the Island in the midst, to
which Alice, Cora, and their companions,
were conveyed for safety, are all situated
just as described. I passed thro’ the
Ca\es, the inner one terminating at
a “perpendicular declivity, under which
ran the dark current.” Our intelligent
guide pointed out the part of the whirl
ing stream above the Island, into whose
Pools, one of the Indians, in attempting
to gain the shore, was driven, carried
rapidly along, and hurried over, into
that gloomy and yawning gulph below
“'I'here, ” said he, “ is the solitary tree,’
selected by Mr. Cooper, on yonder left
bank, from whose lofty branches the dar
ing Savage was harrassing the fugitives
but soon fell from his high lurking place,
a victim to the deadly rifle of Hawk-eye.
Glenn’s Falls are beautiful and wild.—
The Hudson here, at more than two hun
dred miles from its mouth, rushes thro’
a channel of dark blue limestone, the bed
of which is worn into many very singu-
lai I'orms, by the constant action of the
current. The water falls over these
strata, which are perfectly flat, 'and are
piled one upon another, so as to resem
ble so many stone steps, or rather broad
platforms. Through them, however, ir
regular and deep channels, in some direc
tions, find their way,—and over the
■whole, the Hudson, when full, rushes in
one broad, tumultuous, and foaming tor
rent, leaping from one platform to anoth
er, until it bathes the feel of the sable
ledges below, which ascend to a great
height above the stream.
Passing over a rugged country, partly
cf pine barren, and partly of stony hills,
I arrived by night-fall at the head of Lak»*
George, and slopped in Caldwell, a most
delightful village, on the Western shore
The ground between this Lake and the
Hudson river, was famous, not only in
the Revolutionary War, but in most of
those early bloody campaigns, when the
French and cruel Savages carried thei
horrible warfare into the frontier
of
the Etiglish Colonics. Hard and suf
fering was the lot of the harrass
ed Colonists. In these contesis, the
most direct roinmunication between
the posts of Canada and the Hudson, was
by the head vi ators of Lake George. I
sight of ihe room I now occupy, ancient
ramparts are still visible ; on that very
spot was entrenchccl the army of the Mar
fjuis Monicalhi, at the siege of Fort Wil
liam Henry, in 1757. A n^ore interest
ing place cannot be found in the United
Stati-s, for the visits of those who delight
in the rich and beautiful sceriery ofti
ture—who love to contemplate heroic
deeds, long pust, but resuliing in conse
qiii nccs important even to those of the
presi-m day.
Y('u know my fondness for Music
and in the evening niy young brother an
myself took a sailing boat, wiih a bugle
player, and went upon the Lake to hear
the echo from this instrument, which is
fine beyond description in this region.
It was a lovely nighl—the full Moon was
j’.isi t ising over the opposite mountain:
her mild light ftll upon the bosom of the
wa'er in such a direction as to tinge it
gently with her brightness—ihougli in
tiic back ground, the daikness of the
vooc’s was impenetrable. Far oft’ we
■went, and our light skiff glided on ilu*
tranquil Ijay so gently, that scarcely a
ruffle passed her advancing prow. The
air was slill, and we sung our evening
Jiyiun must theerfully. “It is a fine
night for an echo. Sir.” said the Oars
man, “ we have siretclied far enough in
to the lake.” Our iiugicTnan sounded
his winding horn:—ihe eclu) from the
surrounding hills, distant half a mile, sent
bacli the i'aithful, mellow suunds, whih*
forests, by the exact repeiiuon of the
no't sfrom their shades j seemed 'o be
full of •• mocking spirits. ” Suci. lones I
had never before listened to : the pre-
melody ; now lighter and sweeter were
the changes, particularly in that favorite
piece “Auld Lang Syne,” again, deep,
clear and full. The turns, the pauses,
passed off in murmuring cadences, until
the slowly dying close was lost to the ear,
and left our minds filled with the witche
ry of the nmsic. For a long time, we
continued in silent rapture, listening to
these sounds, nor could my eyes remain
occasionally unmixed on those bright,
istant worlds, of which we shall know
njore hereafter, where,
—“ Charming sn mphony they introduce
Their sacred song, and waken raptures high,
Nn \oice exempt, no voice but well could join
Melodious part, such concord is in Heaven.”
We gained the shore at 10 o’clock—
and seldom in my life, after any cxcui
t.ion, have I sunk more calmly and happi
ly to rest.
RELiquKs.—In digging a cellar in
liraddock-street during the present week,
tw o human skeletons were found in a siaie
of preservation. One was standing up-
ight; the other was lying on its face,
with the right arm extended in the di
rection of the head, and the other lying
by the side. The pi obalidity is, that the
skeletons are those of Indians, who were
killed during the hoslililies which ^re-
ceedcd Braddock’s war. It is known that
this part of the town was then a deep
morass, covered with bushes, into which
these persons were probably pursued, and
where one probably sunk, and the other
may have been shot by a musket ball. A
few years since a skeleion was founal neai
the same place wiih handcuffs on ; prob
ably an execuied malefactor. I'he exca
vation of human bones is a frequent oc
currence, and as oflen reminds us of the
scenes of war and desolation—ofbaiile
and of death which marked the early
seitleinent of our village. Fort Loudoun,
which was then the bulwark of this fron
tier—the last hope of the early settlers,
the head quarters of Bradduck in 1735,
and of Washington in previous year;.,
still exhibits the traces of these wars, al
though in the centre of one ol tiie bosi
cultivated and most populous sections of
the Union. Winchester Republican.
Home Industry.—The advancement of
this touniry in manulaciuring industry
is perhaps unexampled in histor . In
the year 1805 the total consumpiion of
euton by the manufaciories of the United
Slates was a liiile more than 1000 bitles.
Now Rhode Island uses more. In 1812,
our woollen factories could not furnish
the army with 6000 blaukets. During
the lust war, capital was taken from com
merce and invested in manufaciures.—
Phis was the first impulse. In 1816 a re
port made to Congress shewed that JiJ'tij
milliona of dollars capital were invested
in cotton manufactures, &m\ twelve millions
in woollen. In that year we maiiulattui
ed 90,000 bales of cotton. In 1816 it was
estimated that the whole amount of
goods manufactured in the United Stales,
was equal to fifty or sixty millions of dol
lars. It is now believed that we manu
facture, of all kinds, to ihe amount of
250 millions in a year, about 25 millions
of which are exported, and the rest con
sumed in the country. The internal or
domestic vrade of every country is per
haps more permanent and useful than the
foreign. It is not subject i6 the fluctua
tions of the commercial world, which
frequently break out and spread desola
lion around, The English journalists
have been consoling themselves that our
industry was as frustrated asthcirs. The
facts which we have slated do not indi
cate much depression. N. F. Jldv.
Political Economy.—An anonymous
writer has callid ui>on Hamilton, the
distinguished advocate of the domestic
industry of our country, for a definition
of what ho calls *• a sound system of pol
icy for this country which he gives in
the following short sentence :
“ Protcct the great staples of our country
— Wheat, Cotton, iron, 'JUjucco, ll'ooU
Lead, iic. k the articlesJabricutedJrum them. ’
Under such a system, adds Uuh saga
cious writer, this country could not tail
to rise, gradually, to a degree of prob[)er-
ity of'which the world has had few ex
amples. We should then be, as we
ought to l)c, masters of our own desti
nies—and not subject to suffer in the
[jrices of our great staples, as we have

Capt. Elliott.—W't have l>een favored
with the following extract of a letter, and
correspondence between Capt. Elliott
and the commandant at Rio Janeiro, by a
gentleman of this city :
RIO JANEIKO, JUI.Y 15th, 1826.
The Cyane, after leaving this port, had
to return to examine her mainmast, cap
tain Llliot having discovered it to be
defective under the rigging; this vyith
expert seamen, employed but little time
—in the mean while he directed the sloop
of war Boston to proceed to the River
La Plata, to warn our unsuspecting coun
trymen of the blockade.—The vigilance
of captain Elliott has been highly praise
worthy.
Twelve richly laden English vessels
have already arrived at this place, prizes
to the Blockading Squadron: these may be
estimated, I am informed, at g500,000, a
circumstance not at all agreeable to John
Bull—one vessel belonging to the U. S.
has been sent, in, but her cargo is British
property.
When the Cyane was last here, on the
eve of getting under-way, she was visit
ed by four Austrian Officers, who de
manded, in the name of the Emperor,
deserter from the army, supposed to be
on board ;—Captain Elliott very properly
assured them that, should it prove to be
the case he would most certainly send
him on shore. After getting to sea the
man was discovered. On our return here
caplain Elliott performed his promise,
by delivering the deserter to the proper
authorities, at the same time, made pri
vate intercession fi;r his pardon—this
was doing the ihing in a becoming man
ner—a painlul duly was discharged,
while at the same '.iine, the humane feel
uigs of an interces:,';r \>ere extended to
ward the uid'ortunaie oflViuler. The cor
respondence of the commanding officers
on the subject, is highly crediialjle, as il
displays tiiose amianie trails always esli
mable. The Cne\alier is an officer who

his supposed 'hai all the vessels seni

Thus, you see, the jirimiples they con
tended for, prouuce effects, which now act
as retributive on their commerce, daily
found io depreciate.
It IS graiii'yinij to an American to see
our national ships in this quarter—their
presence, their character, give us con
fidence, und inspire foreigners with res
pect 10 oui government, which seems
ever ready to waich over our interesis,
und ;o guard our rights. It is to be hop
ed lhat the squadron will be continued on
this coast—it has, be assured, a most
iiappy influence on our oflicers—produc

Moiisieur It Commandant—
Sir :—Still more convinced of the no
bleness of your sentiments, from the hon
orable manner in which you have just
acted, it is with the greatest satisfaction
1 t;ive you the assurance that from per
sonal respect to you, the soldier Scner-
mir of the 3d Regiment of Battalion w nich
1 have the honor to command, shall not
be punished.
No person can be more certain than
myself thai neither by your command, or
ihe design of any other of the very much
esteemed American oflicers, will any
Brazilian soldier be induced to deseri;
on the contrary you have given me a suf
ficient example of your disapprobation ot
such conduct, in the circumstances which
have just occurred, and which would noi
have taken place but for the arts of a bad
subject, of whom the person to whom
they principally relate, was formerly tbs
domes’.ic. Receive, sir, the assurance
of the highest consideration, with which
1 have ine honor to be, your most humble
and most ob’t. serv’i.

Dreadful Death.—A farmer of Thoar-
oniin Flanders, was following a swariu
of bees in the heat of the day j at length
seeing the bees hanging on a branch of
an ash, he presented the hive to them
but unfortunately the queen bee took her
station on his face, and in a moment iho
whole of the bees followed their sover
eign, and the unfortunate man was over
whelmed by this cruel species of attack.
In a quarter of an hour he was dead. A,
person w ho was with him in the onera-
iion,ran away from him.
, We presumc'the* following statement
says the National Journal, in relation to
the MSS. of the Waverly Novels, taken
liom the John Bull, which is said to be
edited by Dr. Maginin, a friend of Sir
W'aiter Scolt, will g^ far to settle all
■loubts on the subject of the authorship of
tl-.ese celebrated productions. We think
however, that some more powerful rea
son than a mere feeling of delicacv to
wards any individual, however exalted
his station in life may be, ought to be as
signed for the conduct of Sir Walter
Scott, in remaining silent on the subject,
while his manustripis are allowed i»
speak so conclusively :
A letter has been published, wiihou^
the permission of ihe w riter, or the per
son to whom it was addressed, from Sir
Waller Scott, in which he pointedly de
nies his claim to be considered as the au
thor of the W'averly Novels. This let
ter, if it be genuine at all, was wriiien
by Sir Walter some years ago, although
dated April in the present year, but lhat
it is a forgery, we must believe—we may
almost say, hope—for we know', in com
mon with every person who has visited
certain circles in Edinburg w ithin the last
few’ months, that Sir W'aiter Scott has
actually presented Mr. Constable, the
Bookseller of that city, with all his ori-
ginal manuscripts of his Novels and
Tales, here so distinctly and strangely dis
avowed. Were this gift a secret, or had
we heard of it in confidence, or were it
questio!iable in the slightest degree, wc
siiould have remained silent upon the
subject; but Mr. Cons able speaks of it
openly and generally—justly considering
and feeling it the highest mark of honor
i'lat a man, connected as he is with litcr-
iture, '-»;iiid have received ; unless, there
fore, int letter which wt have alluded to
l)C a forgery, we are puzzled to find out
a!'; i-iii cause for the reason why Sir
W. Scott, the sovereign of the hierary
u .)rl(l, should think it necessary now so
distinctly and positively to disclaim works
which every body wlio knows any thing,
ktunvs to be from his unrivalled prn.
We ^,e a'vare that a reason is assigned
22 years ol age. A tall and elegant niau, J bich does honor to Sir Walter’s s(ood
Americans in Greece.—Evans’s last view
of Greece contains some notices of the
prominent Grecian and American char
acters, who are engaged in the cause of
Greece. The Americans are How, Jar
vis, Miller, Washington and Allen.
How is a Bostonian, “ofsmall stature,
but of middling height,” and possesses
talents and resolution. He is uselully
employed in (ireece, and Mr. Evans pre
sumes ho will meet with much success.
His princij)le objt-ci in going to (ireecc*

My Dear Siu—your highly gralifyin^
favor of the lOlh insi. I have had the'sal-
isfaciion to receive, and now the honor to
acknowledge.
The generous manner with which you
met my intei cessitjii in belulf of the man
who had unknown to me secreted himself
in my ship, lends greatly tu enhance the
already justly high opinion I had enter
tained ot the German characier.

which you have so nobly exislecl in hon
orable combat, and the promptness with
which the heat l has been openetl in ex
tending ihe iiand both churity and fur-
givmcss poor soldier must leave you in
possession oi' a feeling more ea^ilv im
and possesses brilliant talents. Evans
says “it is unnecessary to speak of him
further.”
Miller is from V’ermont, from 30 to 40
yeaisofage, rather below the common
stature, and of ordinary personal appear
ance. He has native talents but ihey
have not been extensively iniproved, nor
well regulated. Were h** in military life,
Evans thinks he might display some
courage, tjut as yet, he has exhibited no
thing of the kind, worthy of notice.
Allen is from N. York, and was form
erly a midshipman in our navy, is 27
years of age, and “ a tolerably good look
ing man.” He has sailed on several
cruises under Miaulis and the (ireek
commanders, by whom he has been much
praisid. He has fought valliantly in sev
eral engagemtnis, and been several times
severely wounded.
The captain Gakth who is mentioned
in the English newspapers as having elop
ed with lady Ashley, is an illegiiimate
son of one of the princesses, daughter of
the late, and sister to the present king of
England. He was born at Weymouth,
which, it will be remembered, was a favor
ite summer retreat of Cicorge HI. and
his lamily. General Garth, his reputed
father, .was in atlendanee upon the king
constantly and was a gieai favoriic with
him. At the time the young caplain was
born, the general was at least CO years ol
age. He however, acted as bis foster
lather, and had the care of his educaiior
and bringing up. The (iejieral lived at
a place called Piddlelown in Dorsetshire,
about twelve miles from Wevmouth,
where the young captain, at the age of
from 15 to 18, during which lime he was
well known to the writer ol this para
graph, lived in great style, keeping his
servants, race b.orses and hounds. 'I'ho’
he was frequently called Garth and used
to talk about the general, yet he no less
frequently was accosted by his familiars
as 'Tom King,’ in allusion to his connec
tion with royalty.

question whether even that be justly
strong enough to induce a continuation

personal friends, but by the exhibition of
the manuscripts themselves in the house
of Mr. Constable, the bookseller.
Burning of Horses.—On Friday night
ai the burning of a stable in the neigh
borhood of Green and Sixth-streets, be
tween 11 8c 12 o’clock, 4 horses were burnt
to death. The flames had enveloped the
building before they were discovered.—
The by-standers succeeded in gelling
several horses out, but although thi sta
ble door was open, such was the intensc-
ness of the heat inside, that all attempts
to release the other animals from their
fastenings were fruitless. One horse—a
noble creature—“although surrounded
with fire, stood perfectly still while a
person attempted to get him loose, l.hc
halter could neither be untied, I'roKer.
or slipped off; there was no knifq to cu*"
it, and the flames raged with increased
violence. When the nian sprang cut o^
the stable, the horse, as if aware that hn
was abandoned to his fate, uttered mosc
horrid screams. The teri’ific andalinos'.
unearthly cries which horses will.give in
their agony are well known. This poor
animal struggled madly for his deliver
ance, and in his violence, tore open his
breast by running against bis trough.—
He then laid down for the space of sever
al minutes perfectly quiet, but as the fire
began to play around his nostrils, he a-
rose again, and after a few struggles
with a yei w ilder scream and his eyes
bursting from his head, made one furious
effort, and fell dead. The whole scene
is described as having been heart sicken-
ing. In the morning, the bodies of tho
four horacs w'erc buried. Before this,
however, several negro women cutpiccc i
of flesh from the carcasses, as they stat
ed, to serve for food. The fire origifu'iif*^
in accident. U'e are informed that lor
some time past, several men had been m
the habit of going into that stable at
night, unknoVfU to the owner. They
would Slick !i;»hted candles between the
boards, and then would sleep on the ha;.
On this night, it is supposed that the
11 line of the caudle counnuiMcated witii
the rombusiible material around.
