that of thesamcformation in M ontg6mery;--i.
Brpwn Creek' runs its? whole course in a for

the mouth of Rocky River to the mouth of

of the State. -The low grounds, as is always
the case where this rock exists, are extensive,
but subject to be injured by excess of mois
ture when the season is wet. East of the
Sandstone, there is a small wedge of Argillite
on the North, opposite to the Grassy Islands,
and a more extensive tract: on the South. Be
yond these we meet, where the sand has not
drifted in, -and where it Ijas been removed,
with the most beautiful Granite in the State
of North" Carolina. It contains a .large pro
puruou oi reiuspar, ana on tms account is
not a good building stone, decaying too rapid
ly when exposed to the weather; but for the
same reason that it is unsuitable for building,
it decomposes into a fertile soil, furnishing
good water;, and easy and jpleasant to culti
vate. I Besides its fertile soil, Anson appears
to possess few mineral treasures. Gold has
been found in considerable! quantities in the
Argillite. The old Red Sandstone furnishes
Freestone for building ant grindstones the

ore 4vere picked up three ir four miles from
Wadesborough, on the Camden road.
The greater part of Richmond Cou lit v be

beds of clay and sand. The good land is on
the Pedee, and near the 'mouths of the Greeks
that fall into it. The same Granite is found
here that is described as occurring in Anson.
On the old Red Sand-sto ic of its northern
border, there are also some good. plantations',
and othersdoubtless amongst the low grounds
of the South-eastern part of the county, which
the Professor did not visit.j Grindstones are
cut from the Sandstone, in Buftaloe Creek;
and Millstones from the Granite both at Mr.

LIFE OF NAPOLEON HONlVPAliTE.
Sift WAL'i'Ell SCOTT. "
BY
Napoleoii after his downfall. At Monteli
mart the exiled Emperor heard t lie. last ex
pressions of regard and sympathy. IJe was
now approaching Provence, a region of
which he had never possessed the affections
and Was greeted with execrations and cries
of 4 Perish the tyrant!" "Down with the
butcher of children!" Matters looked worse
as t hey ad va need. On Monday, the " 25th
April, when Sir Neil Campbell, having set
out befoie Napoleon, arrived ; at Avignon,
the officer upon guards anxiously asked if
the escort attending the Emperor was of
strength sufficient to resist a popular dis
turbance, which .was on foot at the news of
his arrival. The English cornjnissioner
entreated him to protect the passage of Na
poleon by every means possible. It .was
agreed that fresh horses should be posted
it a different quarter of the town from that
where it was natural to have expected the
change. Yet the mob discovered and sur
rounded them, and it was with difficulty
that Napoleon was saved from popular fu
ry. Similar dangers attended him else
where, and in order to avoid assassination,
the ex-Emperor of France was obliged to
disguise himself as a postillion, or a domes
tic, anxiously altering from time to time the
mode of his dress, and inviting the com
missioners, who travelled with him to whis
tle or sing, that
the incensed populace might
nnt swarp who was in the carriage. At
Organ, the mob brought before him his own
effigy dobbled with blood, and stopped his
carriage till they exhibited it before his
eyes; and in short, from Avignon to La Ca
lade, he was gmssly insulted in every town
and village, and but for, the anxious inter
ference of the commissioners, he would
probably have been' torn to pieces. -The
unkindness.of the people seemed to make
much impression on him. He even shed
tears. He shewed also more fear of assas
sination than seemed consistent 'with his
approved courage; but it must be recollect
ed tnat the danger was of a new andpe
culiarly horrible description, and calculated
to appal many to whom the terrors of a field
of battle were familiar. The bravest Sol
dier might shudder at a death like that of
the Ue Witts. At La Calade he was e
qually nervous and exhibited great fear of
poison. When he reached Aix,precautions
were taken by detachments of gensd'armes,
as well as by parties of the allied troops, to
ensure his personal safety. At a chateau
called Bouillidou, he.had an interview with
his sister Pauline. The curiosity of the
lady of the house, and two or three females,
made them also find their way to his pre
sence. They saw a-gentleman in an Aus
trian Uniform. Whom do you wish to
see, ladies?' "The Emperor Napoleon
I am Napoleon." "You jest, sir, replied
the ladies. "What! I suppose you expect
to see me look more mischievous? Oh yes
yes I confess that since fortune is adverse
to me, I must look like a rascal, a misery
ant, a brigand. But do you know how this
happened? Merely because I wished to

Florida was founded, so to speak, by mollus
cous animals, who Ifave built up these enor
mous piles from the bottom of the ocean.
The climate in July, August and Septem
ber, is hot and peculiarly sultry; during the
rest of the year it is mild and pleasant. E
ven on the inferior lands, almost on pine
barrens, the sugar cane is raised with great
facility. Colonel Dummet raised in lhe
East 200 barrels, which he sold in Boston
at eleven cents a pound. Sucrar is not ex
tensively manufactured, because the enqine
and boilers cost between 3 and 84.000.
l'here is difficulty, too, in procuring the
seed, Several wagon loads of cane being ne
cessary to produce seed enough for one aierc.
We observe by the Pensacpla Gazette
that a new town to be called Magnolia, is a-
bout to be established on the river St.
Marks, about eight mijes from the fort of
that name. 1 he sue ot the nlew town is
said tobe in a healthy-and securejsituatiori,
and that it possesses equal advantajres, m
point of facilities to trade, with Fort St.
Marks. The situation of the latter place is
very unfavorable, low, marshy, and wet; in
he driest times; and inhtavy storms from
he South it is perfectly deluged.; The
Town of Magnolia, therefore, is destined to
supply to the merchants of Tallahassee and
to the inhabitants of the whole of that sec-
ion of Florida, a desideratum much needed.
Protection from Ilaill 'The v i n e y a rd s i n
some districts of Switzerland and, France,
are always liable to destruction from the
storms of hail, Which occasionally desolate
tracts ol territory, nail being a phenome-.
non dependent upon electricity, conductors
to control its effects upon the clouds were
attempted in America, upon Dr. Franklin's
principle of the lightning rod, in the, year
1819. these were called paragreles, and
lave passed from the new to the old world,
where they are said to be crowned with great
success. i hey were maae oi tail poies oi
poplar, pine or other wood, with a brass
wire the twentieth of an inch in diameter,
attached to the pole in its whole extent, rest
ing in a shallow groove, channelled m the

wooa, ana sharpened at tne point, wnicn ter
minates three or four inches above its sum
mit. They should be planted from one to
two thousand feet apart.
As early as 1788, the erection of metalic
points in the fields for the purpose of), "de
priving the clouds of their electricity, and
thus preventing their resolution into hail,"
was adopted near Mantua, and it was be-
ieved with good effect. It seems probable
that the concentration of the electrical fluid
in parts of a cloud, may deprive other sec
lions of it of the heat necessary to keep the
suspended vapour in solution, and that it
consequently is suddenly frozen and falls in
hail. The improved paragreles modity the
clouds in thunder storms, by influencing and
changing the electric character, or by equal
izing and softening the fragment of ice
into snow, or dissolving them vvtn ram.
rior to this application of scientific truth,
discharges of cannon from high summits
were resorted, to,, in parts of Switzerland
and France, for the purpose of warding off
the effects of hail, and dispersing the com-
ng storm. A great part ot the vineyards
of the Canton de Vaud are now-guarded
by paragreles, and have thus been complete-
y preserved, while neias aajoimng tnose

jRevchition of the Magellan Clouds. It is well
known to navigators, that, in the straits of
Magellan, so called afterthe great Spanish;
navigator whose name they bear, and form
ed by the island of Terra del Fuega and the
Southern extremity of South America, cer-
I tain nebula?, of the nature and appearance of
the" Milky Way, are seen, vmich have, fromi
the time of their discovery, borne the name '
of the ''Magellan Clouds." They have hi
therto been considered as a small portion
only of those immense arid immeasurable
masses of nebulae scattered over the face of
the Heavens, but placed so far beyond the
limits of the fixed stars as to induce the great
DiV Herschellito; hazard the opinion, that
Jtheir very light had been a million of years
in travelling, to our system!" In a recent

persons, there are but 15 newspapers, eight
of which are printed in Warsaw, Our 10
or 12,000,000' are supplied with something
like 5 or 600 newspapers, There is a dif
ference here, : '

of the meridianof Greenwich, within which.
limits the clouds were clearly to be perceiv-i
ed; namely: That the smaller cloud, or sup
nosed cluster nf rlittsint tt5irc. rnnQlnnl lv nrp.
served the altitude of 50, remaining peri
fectly stationary; while the larger cloud re
volved round the saHerone in the space of
twenty-four hours, constantly preserving
the same distance from it of about 22.
As the ship progressively approached the
equator by sailing to the Northward, th&alv
titude of both clouds of course decreased
but, as long as they Were seen, this revolu
tion of the one around the other was uni
formly observed; and so satisfied .were the
observers of the fact, that they have furnish
ed us with a diagram of the position and ap
pearance of the clouds at several periods of .
observation. Although the rate of motion
at which the larger cloud must revolve
round the stationary one surpasses all hu
man conception, still when the best astron
omers are agreed that the distance even of
many of the fixed -stars may be such that,
'since they were first created, the first beam
of light which they emitted has not yet ar
rived within the jimits of our system; while
others, v hich have disappeared, or -have
been destroyed for many ases. Will continue
to shine in the Heavens till the last ray
which they emitted has reached our earth,"
no rapidity of motion or extension of space
can, of themselves, justify credulity, while
both are infinite. But though such sublime
and awful jtruths'must annihilate tjie pride
of finite capacity, and fill the mind of man
with wonder and admiration, how must it
