Chcrokces met the delegation from this nation: the two Ridges and Vann were all that attended, and they are not in authority in tho Cherokee nation." In addition to the above, the editors of the Telegraph are in formed by a gentleman from Fort 31 itcliell, that he did not appre hend any attack was contempla ted by the Creeks on the whites; nor was it probable that any alli ance or concert would be formed by them with other Indian tribes, owing to their mutual animosity and hostility towards each other: that it was true that the Creeks had held a secret council, for the purpose it was believed, of remon strating with the General Govern ment, and entering a protest a gainst being forcibly removed; but that the prospect of an Indian war depends upon a remote con tingency, which he thinks can ne ver happen. Hence it is that we hear .of so i many barns being struck and con sumed, shortly after harvest. Why does not every farmer attach to his barn a metal conductor! Pa. Emancipation. It is stated that the late Governor Ridgely, of Maryland, has, by his Will, eman cipated all his slaves, to the num ber of upwards of four hundred. Those who have attained the age of 28 years, are to be free imme diately; such as are over 45, to have some provision made for their support, out of his estate; and those of the younger class arc to be free, the males at 28 years of age, and the females at 25. Elizabeth City, Ann-. 5. The ?4orfolk Herald of Friday last, says: "Wc learn that a steamboat is expected from the north, to take the run permanently between Eli zabeth City and Newborn, and re lieve the Petersburg, which boat is only employed in that service temporarily, during the period of low water in the Roanoke." We are truly pleased to see by the above, that there is some pros pect of the line between this place and Newborn being permanently established. If persevered in, there cannot be a doubt but it will become profitable to its proprie tors. And we hope they will not abandon it until it has had a fair trial. There should be two boats in order to make the run twice a week. Star. Free Blacks in Ohio. The Corporation of Ciacinnati having passed an act imposing restric tions, almost prohibitorv. unon the residence of free persons of of Wallachia, are not so late as :olor in that city, and the validity of that act having been sustained by u solemn judicial decision, an association has been formed by this class of persons at that place for establishing a Colony in Can ada. Their Agents, who have visited Canada to seleqt a part of ine country tor their location, are Lightning.-Te Edenton Ga zette states that three barns and the s'ables attached thereto, on the plantation of Mr. Henry A. Skinner, of Terquimons county, were struck by lightning on the 24th ultimo, and' the buildings with their contents, consisting of between 2 and 300 bushels of wheat, 30 or 90 barrels of corn, and all the fanning utensils of ev ery description, were entirely con sumed. Two horses belonmn io Jos. II. Skinner, Esq. were killed at the same time, and a ne gro boy, the property of the Rev. Jno. Avery, yery severely hurt; but hopes are entertained of his reco very. A boy, riding one of the horses at the time it was killed, escaped unhurt. Lightning. Three barns in the vicinity of Edenton, (North Carolina) were destroyed by nghtning on the 24th ult. Ac counts of similar accidents reach us, indeed, from various parts of the .country. The number of barns which have been destroyed by lightning, this season, is rather unusual; though it is a well known fact, that barns arc in more dan ger of destruction from this cause, for the first'few weeks after the grain and hay are housed, than at any other season of the year. While their newly gathered con tents is undergoing what farmers call the sweating process, the va por which ascends, therefrom ope rates as a conductor to the fluid. Natural Curiosities. A cor respondent in the liichmond Com piler, states that there is a very large spring in the county of Wythe, Va. which ebbs and flows in the months of August and Sep tember only; during these two months, it runs four days and stops four days. It flows con stantly the balance of the vonr. The water is limestone, and the quantity suflicient for a saw and grist mill, h will begin to blub ber and sink back, and not run lone drop: and at the end nf fnnr 1 ' . w awii days, it will roar like claps of thun der, and in a few minutes after the noise with a blowing, the water spring a much greater curiosity than the Natural Uridc; and of fers as the reason why it lias not hitherto been noticed, the circum stance of its being in an obscure neighborhood. It is called the Blowing Spring. The Catskill N. Y. Recorder says, a fountain of hydrogen gas has been discovered in the bottom of Catskill creek, near the foot of Mam-street, in that village. The result of an application of fire to the surface of the water, was an immediate combustion, resemb ling burning alcohol. produced by some product of five.on Sunday leth insi Throughout the, whole vertebral division of Cuvier, flve is the lead ing number.

The London Courier of June 19th, scoffs at the idea that the war between Turkey and Russia will be extended to the rest of Eu rope. England, it says, will re main at peace.

No ulterior destination of the fleet is men tioned. Manchester accounts of the 18th June, show no material change in the state of the Cotton trade. The demand for low yarns conti nued p:ood, the prices steady, but without any advance. There was also a demand for low printed cloth, and other articles for for eign markets; but the country trade was inactive & unprofitable. The Mastic Number. Profes sor Eaton, in a late number of Silliman's American Journal of Science, has shown that five is the most favorite number of nature. He says at least half of all known plants have the parts of fructifica tion in fives, or in a number which is the product of five. The radi ated division of animals, such as the sea star, Medusa's head, and every species of coral rock, have their rays in fives or in a number 4 IMPORTANT RUMQR. Charleston. Aug. 3. We learn from the owner of the French bri and schooner which arrived here on Wednesday last, from Guadaloupe, that previous to their sailing, a vessel arrived at Point retro in a very short passage from Marseilles, reported that some v rench and English merchant vessels attempting to pass the Russian fleet blockading the Dar danelles, were taken possession of by the Russian Admiral; where on the commanders of the French and British fleets made a demand for their restoration, which being refused, force was resorted to. and resulted in the destruction nf the Russian fleet.
