This I rivulet traverses a range nf tftw ornrinds for some miles, occasional ly spreading itself out into morasses,; which i were formerly,, anq in omo . nowi overgrown ;with thickets of arrow wood, nine hark, and various other snruos. Wh hnlr . f In thef course of this Stream there is one point! where tha higher ground of the country !KtMebes in;1 upon be bed ol the marsbj. fronri either t side, so as to leave a gorge of ;about a hundred yards in width, froti ibtof whichfe minencxsthe spectator may look back upon the low lanos oi me swamp for nearly; am We. Just at that period of ihe ilife of my grand oricle when his fevef of Improve ment 4iad risen td its cr'sis. !and when he was daily creating immense fortunes, in hi? dreams, it struck him, upon: looking at the gorge I ha j-e described, tjiat .with very little trouble and expense, be might throw a stout breastwork frpm one side to the other, and have as fine a mill dam as any man could possibly desire. It was so simple an operation that be jwas surprised u nau ineyer occurred toihim before, then a flour mill might be erected a distance be low, - And short whiebj iwopfd cpst but a irine,-tratid.tbe ineviiable result would bej rj mat this pnprohtable tract of waisteiland would jtbtreupon become the moslt valua ble part of the estate. j I am tld that bejongeri to tbe char--cter bf ry grand uncle to (al I absolutely in Iovf wth my new project. He turned this one oyer in his mind fol' two br three nights; and it became as clear to bim as daylight, that he was to work wopdjers with his mill. . ; -Jj.: : , if j . -. , j ': .

ICohtempblia'iieriy;;' 'with tljiis last operation, he set f bout thb, jdam ; land, in the course of.onei fsumteri He had ia huge breastwork of logs thrbwn across the path of the modest, diminutfve Applepie, which would have terrified tfie stream even if it bad been a giant. J M ! As soon as tbrsfstrosturei was comple ted, the waters egan to gather. My grand uncle came down every day jto look at them, and as tie saw them gradually, ebcroabhing upojti the different! little mounds of the swamp, it is said he smiled, and remarked to his son Walter, whom hb frequently took with him, that it was strange to see what results were produced by human art." And it is also told bf him, that he made his way, during this rising of the waters, to?a tree in the bedfof the dam, to notch with his pen-knife a point to which the flood would ultimately lend; that,, whiie stoopg to' take a. level with t(ie breast of the cjara, he lost his balance, and was upseit into a poo), formed by the ebcroabhtbg eerbent; and thatj when VValter eipectekf to see him in a jpassibn at this mishap, bej rose laughing, Jind ob served, Nhat tite bed of the damj was a damnerj bad bedf which is said tb be the only gun that ever Was: made in the Haz ard fa mil V, and therefore Ii have put on record.' j:"- ;i -. f j ; I In a tw davs. with the belo of One or two rains, the ; pool was completely full ; anoVto be infinite pleasure of my grand ujncle, a hin thread of water streamed oVer one corner of; the dam, the most beautiful little calcadb in ihe World ; it looked (ike a glossy streamer of delicate white ribbon. !

" It'sjonlyf the big wheel slojped;;ai cHock as, a jtorwtoner said thej miller, ndtid ittjaiurally screech es, becaue you see. the gudgeon jis new, and wants grease." Hereupon ajsourt of inquiry was instituted ; and, leading the vanHblfowed by the whole troop, ojit went iriy grand uncle to look at the heid gate.

In tbe first place, the, beautiful ribbon cascade was clean gone. In the second, there were all the little tussocks of the swamp, showing their small green beads above the surface of he water, which would hardly have covered one's shoe-top ; and there were all the native shrubs of.the marsh, bending forwards, in scattered groups, like a set of rose bushes that had been visited by a sbowerj dripping wet,' and having their slender stalks tangled with weeds ; and there was towards the middle, a little line of rivulet meandering down to the edge of the dam, and; then holding its unambi tious course parallel with the breastwork. eploymg to the left, where it entered tbe rracje, and tripping along gently, down to the very seat ots the bull-frog.

I be mill dam was like a bank that had paid ouit all its specie, and, consequently, could not bear the' runniade upon it by the big; wheel, which, IrTt urn, having lost ib credjN. stopped payrbeht with lhat hid! eous yell that wrought such a shock upon the nerves of my grand uncle. I i In vain did the old gentleman ransack the storjejs of his philosophy, to come at this! pritciple He studied the dase for half anlbpur examined the dam; in every part, and iwas; exceedingly perplexed. fj Those! rascals of muskrats have been at work," ajd he. So, the examination was conducted to this point ; but not a bole could be found. " The soil is a porous, open, filtrating kind of soil," said the old gentleman. ; I " It seems to me, master," said an arch looking negro; who was gaping over the flood gate j upon the muddy waste, "that the milljS jrun but of water." ; j WhO ajsked you for your Opinion," you scoundrel," said nay grand uncle in a great fury, for he was now beginning to fret get out of my sight, and hold your tojngue.fp K ! ?

In the simple observation of the negro, that re sponded' exactly ;lo my uncle's secret thoughts ; and some such conviction rising up in bis mind, gradually lent its aid to smother his wrath; How could he beat the poor fellow for speaking the truth !

J - 4 True," said my grand uncle, recollect ing 1 himself ; come, Walter, we will mount our horses, and think over this mat ter when we get home. It is very extra ordinary ! Why didn't I foresee this? Nejyer ttiihd, we will have water enough thefre tomorrow, my boy ?"

Herschel, CONGRESS. In the House of Representatives on the 12lh instant. Mr. Stanly moved a suspension of the rules to enable him to offer a resolution requesting the President tO inquire into the truth of reports which represent the Hungarian exiles now in New York as being in danger of starvation; and if so, that he take steps to relieve their suffer ings. And .appropriating thousand dollars for that purpose. Mr. Preston King, abolitionist of New York, desired to ask a question of tbe gentleman from North Carolina. Mr. Stanly, said that he answered no questions coming from that quarter of the House. . Mr. King desired to know if the gentle- j man did not vote against tbe resolution to receive Kossuth t Mr. Stanly replied that his resolution was for exiles, not for humbugging gov ernors. - The question was taken, and the House refused to suspend the rules, 125 to 46. On Tuesday, a message was received from toe President, enclosing a correspon dence between iihe Secretary of State and Mr. Lawrence, tJ. S. Minister to England, in relation to a scheme of the British gov ernment for promoting the emigration of free blacks from the U. S.' to the British West Indies. It appears that Mr. Law rence's attention was called to the sub ject by Geo. W. Owen, Esq., of Georgia, who supposed, from tbe language of a cir cular from Earl Grey on the subject, that it was designed to promote the emigra tion of slaves. Mr. Lawrence according ly called on the British Minister, who promptly assured him that no idea of the kind was indulged ; but, that tbe govern ment being aware of a deficiency of la bor in the West Indies, had supposed that the people of the United States would be glad to get rid of the numerous free blacks residing among them, and would readily unite in promoting their emigration as proposed ; and further, that tbe persons who desired to emancipate slaves, and were obliged to send them out of the State, would avail themselves of this plan. Which was designecfto pay the. expenses of re moval of all such persons of both classes. On Wednesday, nothing of importance. On Thursday, Mr, Conger endeavored to introduce a resolution going the whole Kossuth doctrine of intervention t but ob jection was made.
