TUBS I). 1 1; . 1 UG US'l 14, 1 32 1 . ELECTION. The following- is the result of the Election in this county : John lAmkey, Esq. for the Senate. Col. Henry Rails and John Clement for the Commons. Charles Fisher, Esq. was chosen to represent this borough. In consequence of some reports concerning he liorough Election, we have been requested to publish the following' letters : Salisbury, th of Aug. 1821. Dear Sin: We, the undersigned, are appoin ted as a committee by a respectable number of the voters of the Borough, for the purpose of conterring with you on the subject ot the ap proaching election, it being understood that our name will be held up as a candidate to represent the Borough in the next General Assembly. The citizens whom we represent, in common with our Western brethren, feel a deep and lively interest in the great question of a CON VENTION: believing that at the meeting of the Legislature, some energetic and decisive meas ures will be pursued, it is much to be wished that we should send to our aid all the advanta ges of talents combined with age and experi ence : we are requested to solicit you to decline standing a candidate. We are instructed to dis tinctly inform you, that this application is made alone on the score of your youth. But should it so happen that you cannot, consistently with our engagements, decline, ycu ma; rely on the ac tive support of ourselves and the citizens whom we have the honor to represent. Your friends of the Borough are happy in having this opportunity of bearing testimony to your talents and merit ; qualifications which, with a little more age and experience, will ena ble you to do honor to yourself, and be of use fulness to your friends and the public. Witli sentiments of respect, AVe are yours, sincerely, James Jlfartin, Jr. Closes A. Eocke, Henry Sleighter, 1 Stephen L. Ferrand, j Samuel Lemley, J p A liked Macat, Esq. Jfillford, Aug. 6, 1821. Gestlemes : I have just received your note, and am rejoiced that my engagements do not prevent an immediate reply. It is so contrary to all justice and the genius of a free Republic, for a minority to govern a ma jority, that no one more sincerely desires the calling of a Convention than myself. It is the only measure that can redress our grievances, and secure us in the possession and enjoyment of our rights. If, Gentlemen, you can command the services of any of your citizens of more years and greater experience than myself, I shall most readily re fuse my name as a candidate, and unite with you in every step that may, in the smallest degree, promote the great object that the people of the West have in view. If necessary, you will be kind enough to inform my friends the motives of my conduct. With the highest respect, yours, v- ALFRED MAC AY. J. JTarlin, jr. Esq. and others. RYE COFFEE. We have been much gratified in reading an essay in the Raleigh Starfby Calvin Joms, m. ii. of that place, entitled "Brief observations on some of the-diseases of indigestion, and on the deleterious effects of the Coffee of Mocha, and theWEST In dies ; with considerations on the san itive virtues of RYE COFFEE, and instructions for preparing it." Its length only prevents us from republishing it entire ; and we must con tent ourselves with giving little 'more than his method of preparing this domestic substitute for the "deleterious bean" which has so long fur bished our morning and evening beverage. The considerations which the Doctor urges on the score of health, in favor of substituting Rye for the Coffee of Micha, will, we are inclined to think, fail of producing any practical result. They may convince ; but thej' will not change. When once we become wedded to any habit, no matter how fatal may be its consequences, even' avenue to conviction and reform seems to be im penetrably blocked up. Motives drawn from all that is most dear to us in this world, and clothed with all the solemnities and realities of another, arc as powerless as though they were directed to blocks of marble. In vain you tell the .whis ker drinker that pure water is better than the dlsVdlatcd poison which constitutes his hourly potation:?, and that table or small beer is prefer able to cither : he heeds you not: his habit is confirmed : and health, and happiness, and rep utation, are all sacrificed. As little effect will all the denunciations cf JHocha have upon us. We maybe perfectly sensible of "the indigestions produced by this foreign poison, and that the make a distin- Hiieciions ui-jjiiiuiiig, fished figure in the modern catalogue of dis eases ;" yet habit, and the luscious relish of the poison itself, will still exercise uncontrollable swav over our convictions. If Coffee, therefore, be poison, we are fearful it will long continue to torment us, and increase the patients, and of tourse the emoluments, of the disciples of -Es-culapius. But the arguments that will have the most weight are those which are drawn from motives of economy Americans are a money making people ; and when you touch their purse, you touch their tendcrest Prt. Hinc-. if they can onee be convinced, that hy banishing from their tables the Mocha bean, and supplying its place with the product cf their own fields, they would retain in their purses a good share of the "siller" which has hitherto gone to purchase the former article, the Doctor will doubtless make at least a few converts ; and wc wisli from our hearts he may make many. The "metallic taste1' of the Mocha can hardly fail cf making it nauseous to some. Let us hear what he savs on this head : " The average quantity "of Coffee an nually consumed in the United States from 1803 to 1812, was more than sixteen millions of pounds weight, and the quan tity has greatly increased since. In the most disastrous year of the late war, there was consumed upwards of 12,000,000 lbs. much of it our enemy's product, at a cost to the consumers of nearly g6,000,000. " The difference between using an ar ticle of domestic growth at one cent per pound, and another of foreign product at thirty five, is not the only economical con sideration I would impress. By the use of the former, a saving is made of one half the quantity of sugar. Our own folly lays heavier taxes on us than government does, and is an object more worthy cf cen sure than the Banks." This article is already drawn out to a greater length than we intended; we shall conclude it, therefore, by giving tlie Doctor's mode of pre paring I ye Codec, and by strongly recommen ding a trial of it to all patriotic and economical Americans, excepting, however, those who may be so unfortunate as to be noosed to "slatterns anddrozzles," as we wish the experiment to be fairly made : " To prepare Rye for use it should first be scalded and washed, then boiled fifteen minutes, afterwards remain in the water until somewhat swollen, and lastly thor oughly dried in the open air. The next progress is to roast or parch it carefully without burning. When ground, about two gills is by the admixture of cold wa ter to be formed into a paste. Three quarts of boiling water are then to be add ed and the pot which contains it to be placed on coals and kept boiling for a quar ter or half an hour. It is improved by slow and long boiling and by a leisurely depuration afterwards. When sufficient ly boiled it is to be removed from the fire and a quantity of cold water, equal to that which has been evaporated, is to be sud denly poured into t he pot and the whole slightly stirred up with a spoon. A little is now twice to be poured off and return ed to the pot. Alter remaining 8 or 10 minutesor longer,togive the grounds time to subside, it is to be poured off into a notlicr pot until the sediment is disturb ed. The grounds on a little agitation are rendered so buoyant that this decanting is necessary to preserve the liquor free from turbidncss. 1 hus prepared, it is of a fine amber colour, and, with a due portion of sugar and and cream, has a rich balsamic taste and a very grateful flavor. Some who employ it mix with the Hyc one fourth the quantity of Coffee to give it the peculiar flavor of that deleterious bean but this is the sacrifice of folly to a very silly prejudice. The rye flavour is supe rior to that of the coffee when custom shall have rendered it familiar ; and to re tain the fomth of the evil, for that consid eration, is making very bad terms with an exposed and stibiucratcd foe. Besides, conj thcr taken singly. " Rye is a delicate grain and should be preserved carefully and treated with scru pulous exactness, or it will disappoint the expectations I am attempting to excite. It should be kept dry and well secured from mice and insects, and be occasional ly .stirred and aired or it will acquire an unpleasant flavor. After scalding and washing, if not dried speedily and thor oughly, by being thinly spread, and hav ing a proper exposure, it will become musty ; and even after being roasted, witn great caution, ii ins wciiiuci is uuiujj and hot it will sustain injury. So much care and attention arc required to have the best breakfast beverage in the world, that I would except a slattern and a drozzlc from this recommendation of its use. Let them adhere to the beverage of the Arabs, and to a bandaged head, rather than the reputation of rye should sutler. SS"SiW There are few men that know how to converse. You may see many a man like Addison, who can draw on his banker for 1000. but who has not nineptnee in ready cash, to contribute as his share in conversation. Wom en, on the contrary, are always both ready and willing to speak. Women have a ir.ost graceful way of talking about nothing, which men, in their wis dom, esteem beneath their powers. The French ladies are pre-eminent in this art, and ufter them the Irish ladies hold the most distinguished place.

Believing it will render an essential service to the public, I think it a duty to communicate the following circum stance which took place a lew clays since in the family of a near relation. Miss being about a quarter of a mile from home, was unfortunately bit ten on the foot by a snake, called a pi lot, so severely that the blood ran free ly from the wound. Being greatly a larmed, she made all possible haste in her power, and with some difficulty was able to reach home, the poison spread so rapidly ; but on applying the recipe below, she was, almost instanta neously, relieved from the misery of the wound, and in a few days was able to do her ordinary business.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. The Board for Public Improvements met in this city, on Monday last, and ad journed yesterday. (A. Moore, Esq. and Col. Avery were absent, the former be iii kept away by indisposition, the latter, it is presumed, by high waters.) The Board have received from the State In ij;ineer, Heports on all the Rivers, See. that he had visited since their last meet ing, upon which the necessary measures were taken. A number of other commu nications were laid before them and acted upon ; and fresh instructions were given to Mr. Fulton in relation to the objects necessary to he attended to previous to the next meeting of the Board. Among these were, to complete the survey of Cape Fear between Haywood and Fayette viile ; and one from Fox's Island to Strode's Creek, for the purpose of ascertaining the practicability of canalling between those points and the expense thereof. When a contract shall be made for improving the Navigation of Broad Kiver, Mr. Fulton is to visit that Kiver and give the necessa ry instructions to the contractor: He is also to isitthc Yadkin, and give instruc tions for improving that Kiver between YVilksboro' and the Bean Shoals ; and to have the necessary Surveys made be tween Flat Swamp and the Uhaiie Rivers. A Survey of the Dan and Roanoke is di rected, beginning at the Dan at Col. M. Moore's or Johnson Clements, in Stokes, and ending at Plymouth, determining the plans of improvement, at all the places from the Chesapeake at the proposed Ro anoke Inlot ; and if it does, what is its ve locity, and how far out it runs from the point of the proposcd Inlet. The Board adjourned to Wednesday, the fourteenth of November next. fta'righ Register. American Asylum. We have received from Hartford the Fifth Annual report of the Directors of the American Asylum for the Education and Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb. The institution appears to be in a flourishing situation, and when the Directors shall have derived the tunds which they expect from the sale of the lands granted them bv the United States, they will be able, not only to extend their usefulness, but to educate this unfortunate class of persons at a much cheaper rate. The whole number of pupils now in the Asylum is sixty-two. Ninety have been instructed there, but 30 have left at differ ent periods. Twenty-one of the pupils are supported by the State of Massachu setts. The expenses of the establishment, for the last year, including S9,!89 4, for building, amount to S26,5T5 S3. This report is rendered uncommonly interest ing from the many specimens of original composition annexed to it, and which shew a degree of proficiency among the pupils generally, truly surprising.
