C APT. TYLER'S POPULARITY.
- f A letter from the Editor, (now'absem as one oftbe
;Cotnmi3soners at the sale of Swamp Lands,) written at

Cj An honorable cornet ition between man and
tnan adds a zest to the Tstioas pursuits of life ; and
Vrhen we see one man endeavoring to traduce, or in
any way insiduously to injure, the character of ano
ther in the same vocation it may most generally 1be
copsidered amark of a base mind. The high-minded
honorable mechanic, for instance, is careful to say or
do nothing to the prejudice of bla fellow. It is piti
ful to see one man endeavoring to rise upon the neck
of jfcjs neighbor, or by secret machinations striving to
gala appkase Such attempts, however, are footer
or later rightly understood by the public at large, and
those who practise these arts find the. effect of their
misdirected zeal in a deserved loss of public confidence.
And such dissertiori Ihust be peculiarly grating to the
aufierer, as he receives no generous sympathy, and ia
convinced of his own unwerthiness in net having pur
sued that manly, open, straight-forward course, which
should ever guide us through the varied relations ef
life. No man has ever established a lasting and cn
viable reputatioa'by abusing others.
J THE NEW YOltK MIRROR.
This old-sstabUdhed and deservedly popular work,
still continues improvingly, as we learn from notices
in our exchanges,' the "Mirror" having for some cause
or other estranged itself from eur table for some weeks
A few weeks since a .splendid steel engraving was
sent out with the Mirror, entitled " the Beacon," and
two others are yet to appear in the present volume, one
0 be an engraving of the Declaration of Independence
with accurate likenesses of its signers. The Mirror
has acquired a reputation for being the best paper of
the kind hi the country. A new volume commences
on the 1st of January, 1841. . -
fXj"i The second or November number of the Fam-
7y Companion and Ladies Mirror edited at Macon,
Ga.f by 4Jrs. Sarah Lawrence Griffin, promises much
for the: future success of the work. Among the list
of cont ributors are the names of many writers of talent
and deserved fame. The typography of this work, as
already mentioned, is not excelled by any other of
the kind in the country. '
Also, The Patriarch, or Family Library Maga
zine,' fot November, bj Rev. R. W.Bailey, New
York, has arrived. This magazine seems eminently
designed'to define ; and enforce the duties of all the
social relation, which have their elementary forms in

r
MrL Editor : With a view of giving what
may be regarded by some as useful informa
tion to the growers of Tobacco, I send you
the sales at Shocco Ware House, Richmond,
Va., on the 24th instant, showing the prices
of good leaf, common, and lugs. I willsim
ply remark, that the causes forstxehpw
prices are to be ascribed to several reasons,
which,! in the recollection of the old planters
and dealers, occur every ten or twelve years ;
and the first is the very large stock of old on
hand itt England and other markets. The
last crop, which has just gone forward, being
a large one. a neavy reuuciioa in prices nas
. ! Aw m ?
alresuy been submitted to, before sales could
be effected, and the article bad a downward
. tendency. Breadstuff abroad arc scarce and
. high, consequently among the poor, the con
sumption of Tobacco must be greatly lessen
ed, a3 is always the case after the failure of
the grain and potatoe crops, estrange as it
may seem too, the Kentucky Tobacco is
much more in demand than cur.North Caro
lina and Virginia, and sells for a much bet
ter price.. Thesie things, added to the un-
settled state of our currency, which produces
with the merchants an almost ruinou3 state
ot exenange, (it oeing near nueen per cent,
on foreign bills) have blasted the hopes and
i prospects of the planters (upon whom we are
alldependent) for the present year's crop. -
It is a state of things produced by a combi
nation of causes, many of which are not
thought'iof, or understood, but when felt,
there is ho class of citizens who submit with
more patience than: do the planters of our
country, who I believe are the roost intelli
gent, ant) indenendent oeonle on the irlobe.
w ' t . ri s .
I feel, Mr. Editor, that my interest is closely
identified with theirs, and wish that I had
foresight enough to advise them for the best,
but I have not, ahtfmy object is - merely to
lay before them the Tacts, from which they
can judge aa well aa you,, or I, of what is
best to bdohe, ! That they will be greatly
disappointed, there can be no doubt, and that
the same disappointment will be felt by the
siiipners. is eauallv true. I confess that I
have never felt more at a loss about the pros
pects. The prices are certainly low, but if
tne wnoie or even one nair, ot tne crop -is
kept back for the spring and .summer sales,
. will not prices go down T That's the ques
. tion for the planter to deoide, and upon
wntcnto act..

Tired oMIew York and its senseless parade, I knew
not whuher to fly. ,The kiea occurred of proceeding
eastward r but I bad imbibed a sort of dislike, to tbo
Yankees, and so tltougbt I, I will defer going into their
country until I. -have grown older in the ways of this
ftinny world, I sauntered along back toward the
South, stopping at various poinU, neither knowing nor
caring where- 4 went, a couple of thousand miles
througb Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, un
til I found tayselfonecvegingin tbe City Hotel, Nash
ville. Ye who liavo travelled but a single day over
bad roads in the heat of summer, in ricketty coaches,
with sorry teams and worse drivers, may pity my feel
ings when ushered into , a mean, dark little seven by
nine chamber in this Hotefcand threw myself upon
a bed to try and find in dreams, what I could not in
toy waking moments what to do and where to go
next. I verily believe that if I had then been within
fivejiundred miles of the ocean, I would have gone
to sea in search of foreign wonders, for I cannot think
that I am any thing of: a Jonas on the contrary, my
bad luck is always upon terra firma.
: I have erossed and re-crossed the great Appalachi
an chain of hills, or back bone of the country, some
four or five times, at different places, and never but
once do I remember having done so, without meeting
with some accluent or detention. These things try a
man's philosophical temperament, for whether time is
or is not precious to him, any unnecessary delay be
tween two points, is apt to be relished but sourly
Nevertheless, I have managed to extract a great deal
of the useful and sweet from these little incidents.
On one occasion when within ten or twelve miles
of the "gap one of the horses gave out, and the dri
ver protested be could not pull even the empty coach
up wit& less than four. I demurred, entreated, and
persuaded, but the fellow was ittexorable, and I was
compelled to stop two -days at a miserable house by
tbe wayside, and put up -with such fare as offered. On
another occasion, when on my way westward through
tbe south-western part of North Carolina, a violent
hurricane impeded my progress, and delayed me sev
eral days by literally . blocking up the road for many
mues wim uprooted lorest trees, nurieu in wild con
fusion across my path. Tbe heavens frowned most
dismally the thunder thundered in horrid peals, and
tbe lightning flashed so vividly that the darkness was
turned into noon-day. Houses and fences, and grow
ing grain were laid prostrate on the earth, and rivulets
swelled into the size of rivers. The hail showered
down for an hour with such fury as to disfigure trees
and houses &c, and horribly kill or mangle such
swine, sheep or poultry as happened to be beyond tbe
reach of shelter. It was an awful time ; and of a truth
at one moment, I thought 1 heard Gabriel's last trump,
and that tbe final day was at hand, but. upon looking
around .1 saw that the sound proceeded from a misera
ble donkey who was so pelted as to give expression to
bis feelings in doleful brays.- However, us an ill wind
that blows no good, and.tbis wind blew me into most
quiet, pleasant and delectable quarters at a house near
by, the residence of Mr. S , whose lady is one of
the neatest and prettiest women and best cooks 1 nave
ever had the felicity to look upon. I advise all trav
ellers to ston at that house, who know how to appre
ciate and enjoy good eating, sweat beds ind virtuous
women. I parted from it with regret and shau return
wi:h delight. , '
I continued' on over a horrible road by the Warm
Springs to Knoxville ; but roads 1 Utile cared for,
when the roadside was adorned with beauties of na
ture, lovely, enchanting, grand, noble and terriffic.
The scenery of Switzerland cannot exceed this in but
one thing,, and as to that, only imagine an occasional
mountain somewhat higher than it is, and you have
it at once. As to the loveliness of the ladies through
all this part of die country I'll pit them against the
world.' At one time, we were crawling along the side
of a mountain, mid-way between heaven and earth,
whence the slipping of a pebble might have sent us
head over heals, tumbling many hundred feet down
wards, and then again we were creeping along through
some dark defile shut out from the light of heaven by
overhanging crags which seemed every moment ready
to fall upon and crush us.? Rivulets leaping from rock
to rock, and from precipice to precipice, in blithesome
glee, tumbling, ifoaming and gurgling down through
many hundred feet to reach the level below, beguiled
the moments we could spare from tbe enrapturing
scenes around us, by their pebble-toned symphonies.
Never till now, had I so forcibly impressed upon my
mind the awful sublimity and omnipotence of the
great Creator of all things Wonderful are thy works,
oh God !" 'Tis instructive to pass among such scenes

ling atom and worm of the dust you really are, when
compared with Him, who rides upon tbe whirlwind
and guides the passing storm.
mThe "Warm Springs'." as a summer resort, has ho-
r thing particularly to recommend it except the delight
ful country in which it is located, tuougn upon tne
whole a weH conducted establishment is kept here,
and I would advise every dyspeptic and weakly body
to try the invigorating breezes which play around this
spot, the temperature of which may be guessed at,
when I assever that, although mid-summer, afire was
indispensable to comfort.- Some six miles beyond this,
directly on the margin oftbe river, you pass in a man
ner under what is called the "Painted Rock," which
is a huge natural wall upwards of a hundred feet high
and several hundred yards long, having upon it faint
traces of some hieroglyphic devices, supposed to have
been done by the Indians, and which is also pointed
out as the land-mark or dividing line between the
States of North Carolina and Tennessee. So now we
jire in Tennessee, the whole of which was formerly
attached to North Carolina. I recollect having onoe
confused an Ticquaintance by asking him bow it was
that the Mississippi" river which at. one time formed the
western boundary of Carolina, should now be at the
western end of Tennessee, some hundreds of miles
distant. He declared he could'nt tell, and thought
the question a very absurd one. Perhaps so do you,
reader, . - ,
I bad been so accustomed to observe the smiling fa
ces of rosy cheeked damsels peeping out at as from
every neat house by the way as we passed, that I soon
got so that I expected -it, and was not satisfied without
this addition to the appearance of every house passed.
In fact, one can always teftat a glance whether there
are ladies about a house, from die air of neatness ob
served in every thing, and from the beautiful flowers
nd creeping evergreen vines which are tastefully in
troduced ra every proper place and nothing is so
ninir to the eve as this ! One day I bad .been ta
king a doze.'and. just as we came opposite to a house, I
is no girl in that bouse ; there should be one upon my
word,"-but.had scarce uttered ie words, when,
true as tbe needle to the pole, oufcpopped the most
free and airy form I ever beheld. At thS moment ray
hat, before I could convey my hand to raise it off my
bead-r-as I invariably do in the presence of the divine
angels suddenly and of its own accord fell off and
dropped out of the coach to theearth. Never before
was sp just homage paid to beauty rmy very bat could
not resist its influence; and I preserve that hat to this
day as a remembrance of the unknown beauty, inor
dinately sorry at the same time that it is the only to
ken Lpossess from her. . . ' . - -

When near the summit of Cumberland mountain,
and bont crossing a little brook which murmured mer
rdy and laughingly along beneath our carriage .wheels,
ttKMriyer stepped and told us to follow the rivulet a i
short distance on its course, and we could see a pretty
sight. So. out we sprung, and running along a few
paces, suddenly came upon the verge of a precipice,
where crawling upon our hands and knees and peer
ing over, we beheld a most asionisbing spectacle
The brook which just now had glided so joyously along,
was here abruptly tumUed'Ovef a precipice of such
great height, that 'twas lost in spray and vapory mist
long ere it reached tbe bottom. Dear, pretty, lovely
rivulet, thought I, if I could I would place myself
across thy path, and let all thy waters flow into my bo
som, and there fondly cherish thee, rather than see thee
thus rudely tumbled into nothingness! Tbis, too, is
the end of many a frightened beast, that has in the at
tempt to. escape ruthless pursuers, suddenly been pre
cipitated into death down this giddy height. The
ground below is even now strewn with the bleached j
bones of animals that have perislied here:
Leaving Nashville, I glided akAg the devious mean- j
derings of Cumberland river, until the broad expanse j
oftbe beautiful Ohio upon whose banks I have spent j
so many happy days burst full upon me in all its na
tive glory. I was in a happy temperament for enjoy
ing so rich a sight, and my fancy, when looking up
and viewing this great body of limpid water rolling on
ward, brightly pictured die various growing towns and
cities which dot its banks ; and downward, tbe gigan
tic Mississippi with all its stupendous associations,
crowded on the mind. Nature how I adore thy
works! I have submitted to many doleful thumps and
jolts, and wearied my bones repeatedly in scrambling
up dizzy neigttts ; and yet, notwithstanding all this,
could I fly from iioint to point as direct as a beam of
light, I would not do it, but would rather glory in toil
ing along as I have done, that I might drmk in at ev
ery step some new and increasing beauty. The plough
share of time, turns up all these pleasing sights to tbe
mind's eye, and fixes them vividly on fancy's canvass,
and I am tbe happiest of mortals in having seen what
I have seen, and in the manner I have seen.'
There, are ever a variety of incidents and scenes at
hand in our progress through life, to keep our minds
and pens busily and profitably engaged, if we will on
ly keep our eyes open and take advantage of every fair
opportunity to use tbem. The man who could travel
a thousand miles and not fill a volume in its recital, is
no man, but a log of wood, so far as feeling is con
cerned. Tis stated, and stated truly, that lie who tra
vels through a country in a coach and four with liver
ied servants, will form a very different opinion of that
country, from the man who follows tbe same route on
foot. And I would advise every one who seeks to tra
vel profitably, to do so iu a medium style, if be wish
es to see things as they are. And as this is the only
sure way to travel through the world to enjoy life, so a
medium in all things is most likely to make us happy
at last, when old Time shall have swung his scythe
into our vitals and wafted us to the land of spirits.
Great wealth is a SQiirco of disquiet here, and of never-
dying trouble hereafter. " Gold and silver, are too
heavy luggage for him to carry who seeks Heaven."
With these admonitory hints, I beg leave to close the
chapter.
WHIG ORGANIZATION.
For the present, we have only time to invite atten
tion to the annexed extract from a letter to tbe Editor,
frem an intelligent source. The suggestions relative'
to a change of time for holding the Whig Convention
in this city, appear to have some weight, but of this
and other matters, more hereafter.
Warren County, N. C. Nov. 21, 1841.
Notwithstanding a vast majority of the
people of this State are Whigs, it is proper
that we should organize, and thereby retain
that majority. I am pleased to see your sug
gestion for a call of a Convention to meet in
Raleigh though I must disagree as to the
time, believing the 24th of January will not
answer so well as a latetdate. It will be
too soon to give the different Counties an
opportunity to appoint delegates, as but few
Courts will take place before that day; be-
- ges it WU 4c almost in the midst of win
1
ter, consequently preventing many from at
tending, who reside in the extreme parts of
the State. Suffer me to suggest Monday,
the 7th of March, as a proper time to hold
the. Convention, which will enable every
County to be represented. Furthermore,
suppose we " follow in our illustrious foot
steps," by having another great gathering of
10,000 freeman, similar to one on the 5th of
October, 1840. A meeting of that kind will
stimulate and filial) with enthusiasm, which
is sufficient to organize freeman. Moreover,
would it not be a most fit occasion to invite
" Harry of the West" to visit the Old North
State 1 He has never, I believe, been among
us, and no doubt would embrace this oppor
tunity of coming, which he could so easily
do from Washington, We should by no
means let this occasion pass, as it is his de
termination to retire from the Senate after
the approaching session of Congress. His
acceptance of an invitation to meet his
friends in this Stale, would of itself induce
thousands to attend, they would go to sec
and hear that man whom you, and I, and ev
e ry true Whig believe has not his equal
throughout the world, in all the qualities
which adorn the character of a patriot,
statesman and orator. I have lately travel
ed through' a, dozen Counties in this State,
and as many in ;Virginia, and with but two
solitary exceptions, I found but one feeling
prevailing among the Whigs, and that was
for Henky Cj,ay. for. the next President.
One of those was a gentleman nominated by
the President to fill a station in one of the
Western States, but was rejected by the Sen
ate, he goes for "hisaccidency," the vGap
tain." The other was a soap-lock, without
a habitation, a sort of loafer, who says he is
a Scott Whiff. By the by, were you not sur
prised to see Gen. Scott's announcement of
Trimself for the Presidency; though Tsup
pose you knew that he waSs always very much
pleased with himself, "the GeneraPs esti
mate, of his popularity, reminds me of t,he
egotism of Capt. Tyler,", who told a friend
of a few days;rfter -the Presidential
election that . his name heingon the ticket
with General Harrison added 10,000 rotes to
the Whig majority In Ohio1 v

Sugar. It is now ascertained beyond
doubt that the crop of sugar in Louisiana
will be clit short about one-third by the late
frosts. The frost was earlier this season than
usual, and at the same time cane was less
matured, in consequence of the tine crow

the juice of the cane is very weak, requiring
a much larger quantity to a pound of sugar
than customary. Baton Rouge Gaz.

Deer Sir: I perceive, by your paper of the 12th

accuses me of having sought to injure Mr. Webster,
through the New. York Herald ; and I thank you
most heartily for your prompt contradiction of this
calumnious charge ; and I beg permission to confirm
what yon have said on the subject of the falsity of
that accusation in all its parts and relations, and to
add that whoever shall impute to me any purpose or
act of injury to Mr. Webster, I pronounce every such
person a liar and a scoundrel. I am yours, respect

end a thrill of joy through every benevolent heart.
The reformation of the jnebriat has commenced add
