Fayetteville, Jnlyj?; I339.f 6-4w ) i EXEClTED' AT THIS OFFICER IVith neatness and despatch THE FIRST LOCOM OTIVE . By one Who saw it. In (he year 1808, I cnjojetl the never-torbe-forgotten gratification of a paddle up the Hudson, on board the first Steam boat that ever moved on the wafers of of any river, with passengers. Among the voyajjers was a nian I had known Tor some years previous, by the name of Doolittle. He was ait industrious and ingenious work er in sheet-iron, tin, and wire, but his great success lay in wirework, especially in mak ing rat-traps, and for this, his last and best invention at that time, he had just secured a pa'ent and, with specimens of his work, he was then on a journey through the State of New York for the purpose of disposing of what he called! "the country rights,'' or in other wordsto sell the privilege for catching rats according to his patent trap. It was a very c minus trap, as simple as it was ingenious, as most ingenious things are often after they are invented. It was an oblong wire bo, divided into two a partments ; a rat entered one end, where the bait was hung, which he no sooner touched than the door at which he entered fell. His only apparent escape was by. a tunnel shaped hole tn another apaitment, in passing which. he moved another wire, which instantly reset the trap, and thus rat after rat was furnished the means of fol lowing in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor" until the trap was full. Thus it was not simply to catch a rat, but a trap by which rats trapped rats, ad infinitum. -This trap, at the time to which I allude, absolutely divided the attention of the passengers and, for my part, it interested me quite us much as the Steam Engine; because perhaps, I could more easily com prehend its mystery. "IV me the steam en gine was Greek, the trap was plain Eng lish. Not so, however to Jahez Doolittle. I found him studying the Steam engine wmi great avitiuv anu perseverance, inso much that the Engineer evidently became alarmed, and declined answering any more questions. ' Why, you need'nt snap off so very short," aid Jabez a body would think you had'nt got a patent for your machine. i 1 can t meddle with you on the water, as nigh as I can calculate, I'll be up to you on land one' of these days. These ominous words fell on my, ear, as saw Jabez issuing from, the engine room, allowed by the engineer, who seemed evi- dendy to have got hi steam up. 'Well,' said I, "Jabez, what do you think of this mighty machine ?" ' Why," he replied, " if that critter had at got riled up so soon, a body could tell more about but I reckon I ve ffot a little notion on't ; and then, taking me aside, and look- ng carefully around, lest some one should overhear him, he 44 then and there" assur ed me in confidence, in profound secrecy, that if hedtd'nt make a wagon go by steam, before he was two years older, then he d give up invention. I at farst ridiculed the idea ; but when I thought of that rat trap, and before me a man with sharp twinkling gray eyes, a pointed nose, and every line of his visage'a channel of investigation and invention, I could not resist the conclu sion, that if he ever did attempt to meddle with hot water, we would hear more of it. Time went on. Steam-boats multiplied; but none dreamed, or, if they did, they never told their dreams of a Steam Wagon; for the name of 44 Locomotive" was then as unknown as 44 locofoco." When, a- bout a year after the declaration of war with England, (and may it be the last !) I got a letter from Jabez, marked "private" telling me that he wanted to see me "most desperately," and that I must make him a visit to his place " nigh Walhngford. i On reaching his residence imagine my surprise when he told me he believed 'he had got the notion." 44 Notion what notion ?" I inquired. "Why," said he "that steamwagon I tell'd you about a spell ago ; but," added he, 44 it has pretty nigh staTved me out ;" and, sure enough he did look as if he 'had beenon the 44 anxious seat," as he used to say when things puzzled him. "I have used up," said he, 44 nigh all the sheet iron,' and old stove pipes, and mill wheels, and trunnel heads in these parts ; , but I've succeeded; and for fear that some of these 'cute folks about here tnay have got a peep, through the key hole, and will trouble me when I come to get a patent, I've sent for you to be' a witness ; for you was the first and only man I ever hinted the notion to ; in fact," continued he, 44 1 think. the most curious part of this invention is, that as yet I don't know any one about here whb'ha's been ablfe 'to guess what' I'm about.' They all lcnow' it w an invention of.some kind for that's my busi ness,: you Know ; but some say it is a threshing machine some a distillery ; and of late they begin to think it a shingle split terY but they'll' sing another" turie' when they see it spinning alofig past stage coach es, wonU they ?' f ' i This brought us to the door of, an old clapboarded, dingy, long,, one-story build ing, with a window or two in the roof, the knot-holes anil cracks all carefully stiiffed with old rags:, and over the door Was writ ten, ' in bold " letters; M; No 1 admittance.' There it stood, . occupying th,e centre of all previous conceptions, rat traps,' churns, apple parers, pill rollers, cooking stoves, and shingle splitters, which hung or stood around it. And there it stood, 44 the concentrated focus" of all previous, rays of inventive genius 4 The Jtrst Locomotive.1 An unpainted, unpolished, unadorned, oven-shaped mass of duuble-riveted sheet iron, with cranks, and pipes and tunnel heads,;. and screws, and valves, all firmly made, orx travelling wheels. " It's a curious critter to look at," says Jabez, " but you'll liko it better when you see it in motion." He wes by this time igniting a quantity of charcoal, which he had stuffed under the boiler. 44 1 fill'd the b'iler," says he, 44 ar ter I stopped work yesterday, and it ha'n't leaked a drop since. It will soon bile up ; the coal i9 first rate." Sure enough the boiler soon gave evi dence of "troubled waters," when, by pushing one slide, and pulling another, the whole machine, "cranks and piston was in motion. 44 It works slick, don't it?" said Jabez. 44 But," I replied, 44 it don't move." 44 Tou mean, said he, 44 the travellins wlfeels don't move : well, I don't mean they shall, till I get my patent. You see," he added, crouching down, 44 that trunnel head, there that small cog wheel? Well, that's Out of gear just yet; when I turn that into gear, by this crank,' it fits, you see, on the main travelling wheels, and then the hull-scrape will move, as nigh as I can calculate, a leetle slower than chain lightnin'. .. But it wont do to give it a try afore I get a patent. There is only one thing yet," he continued, 44 that I han't contrived but that is a simple matter and that is the shortest mode of stoppin' on her. - My no tion is, to see how fast I can make her work, without smashing all to bits, and that's done by screwing down this upper valve ; and 1 11 show you ." - And with that, he clambered up on the top, with a turning screw in one hand, and a horn of soap fat in the other,and com menced screwing down the valves, and crank-joints ; and the motion of the mys terious mass increased until all seeded a Buz 44 It is nigh about perfection, aint it ?" said he. I stood amazed in contemplating the ob ject before me? which, I confess, I could not tullv understand, and hence, with greater readiness, permitting my mind to bear off to matters more comprehensible ; to the fu ture, which is always more clear than the present, under similar circumstances. I heeded not, for the very best reason in the world, because I understood not, the com plicated description mat jaoez was giving of his still more complicated invention.- All I knew was, that there was a machine on four good sturdy, well-braced wheels, and it only required a recorded patent to authorize that small connecting cog wheel, or trunnel head, to be thrown "into gear," when it would move off, without oats, hay, or horse shoesi and distance the mail coach es. As I was surrounded with notions, it was not extraordinary that one should take full possession of me. Itdawned upon me when I saw the machine first put into mo tion, and was now fully orbed above the horizon of my desire ; it was to see the first locomotive move off. The temptation was irresistible. "And who knows," thought I, "but some prying scamp has been peeping through the keyhole while Jabez was at work, and catching the idea, niay be now at work at some clumsy imitation ? and if he does not succeed in turning the first trick.' may, at least, divide the honors of my friend :" 'Jabez,' said I, elevating my voice above the buzzing noise of the machine, "there is only one thing wanting." 44 What's that?" said he, eagerly. " Immortality," said I, . " and you shall have it, patent or no patent !" And, with that, I pulled the crank, twisted the connect ing trunnel-head into the travelling wheels, and in an instant away went the machine, with Jabez on the top of it. with the whiz and rapidity of a Ansiied partridge. The side of the old building presented the resist ance of wet paper. Onecrash, and the 44 first locomotive" was ushered into this breathing world. . I hurried to the opening, and had just time to clamber to the top of the fence1 to catch the last glimpse of my fast departing friend. True to his purpose, I saw him alternately screwing down the valves and oiling the piston-rod and crank- joints ; evide-ntly determined that, although he had started off a little unexpectedly, he would redeem the pledge he had given, which was, that when it did go, it would ffo tt leetle slower than a streak of chain lightning,- 44 Like a cloud in the dim distance fleeting, Like an arrowMie flew away, Buta moment, and he was here ; in a mo ment he was there and now where is he ? or rather, where , is he not ? -but that for the present,, is ," neither here nor there."

Knickerbocker. JOtt ADAMS.-GCORGE III. The account that Mr. Adams gave in a let ter to a friend, of his introduction td (jEOUge III, at the Court of St. James, as the first Minister from the rebel colonies, is very in teresting. At one o'clock on Wednesday, the 1st of June, ,1785, the Master of Ceremonies called at my house, and went with me to the Secretary of State's office, in Cleaveland row, where the Marquis of Caermahthen received ant.introduced me to Mr. Frazier, his under secretary, who had been, as his tbrdship said, uninterruptedly in that office through all the changes in administration for thirty years. After a short conversa tion, Lord Caermart hen invited mefto go with him in his coach to Court. When we arrived in the antechamber, the Master of Ceremonies introduced him and attended me while the Secretary of State went to take the commands of the King. While I stood in this place, where it seems all Min isters stand upon such occasions, always attended by the Master of Ceremonies, the room was very full of Ministers of State, Bishops, and all other sorts of courtiers, as well as the next room, which is the King's bedchamber. .You may well suppose I was the focus of all eyes. I was relieved, how ever, from the embarrassment of it by the Swedish and Dutch Ministers, who came to me and entertained me with a verv agree able conversation during the whole time. Some other gentlemen whom I had seen before, came to make their compliments to me, until the Marquis of Caermarthen re turned, and desired me to go with him to hia Majesty. I went with his lordship through the levee-room into the King's closet. The door was shut, and I was left with his Majesty and the Secretary of State alone. I made three reverences : one at the door, another about half way, and another before the presence, according to the Usage established at this and all the Northern Courts of Europe, and then I ad dressed myself to his Majesty in the fol lowing words : ' "Sin: The United Slates have appointed me Minister Plenipotentiary to your Majesty, and have directed ine to deliver to your Majesty ibis letter, which contains the evidence of it. If is in oletti ence to their express commands that I have the hon or to assure your Majesty of their unanimous dis position and desire to cultivate the most friendly and liberal intercourse between 3'our Majesty's sub jects and their citizens, and of their best wishes for your Majesty's heallh and happiness, and for that of your family. ' "The appointment of a Minister from the Uni ted States ft) your Majesty's Court will form an epoch in tfie history of England and America. I think myself more foitunate than all my fellow-citizens in having the distinguished honor to be the first to stand in your Majesty's rOyal presence in a diplomaiic character; and Ishalll esteem myself the happiest of men if I can be instrumental in recom mending my country more and more to your Majes ty's rojal benevolence, and of restoring an entire esteem, confidence and affection ; or, in bettcf words, the old good rtature'and the good old ho rn or,' between the. people who, thouarh' separated by an ocean and under different Governments, ;hare the same language, a simitar religion, and a kindred blood. I beg your Majesty's permission to add, that although I Tiave sometimes, before been instructed by my country, "it was never in my whole life in a manner so agreeable to myself.' 'The King listened to every wordlsaid with dignity, it is true, but withpparent emotion. Whether it was mv visible a?i- tation, for I felt more than I could Express, that touched him, I cannot say; but he was much ttflecled, and answered me with more tremor than I had spoken with, and said : " ' Sir, the circumstances of this aodience are so jextraordjnary, the language you have now held is so extremely proper,-and the feelings you have dis covered so justly adaj'ted to the occasion, that I net only receive with pleasure the assurance of the friendly disposition of the United States, lut I am glad the choice has fallen upon you to he their min ister." I wish you. sir, to believe, that it may be understood in America, that I have done nothing in the late contest but what I -thought myself indis pensably bound to do, by the duty which I owed my people. I will be frank -witu you. I was the last to conform to the separation ; but the separa tion haying become inevitable, I have always said, as I now say, that f, would be the first to meet the friendship of the. United States as an independent power.

A Village Church. -The following, from a late number of the fcnickerbockef, is Washington Irving's description' of: a vill age church : 'As the Dominie generall y preached by the hour, a bucket of water was providen lially placed on a bench near the door, in summer, with a tin beside it, for the sptac of those who might be athirst, either from the heat of the weather or the drought of the sermon. : Around the pulpit, and behind the com rttunion table, sat the eiders of the church; reverend, gray-headed, leathern visaged men, whom I regarded with awe, as so many apostles. They were stern in their sanctity, kept a vigilant eye upon my gig gling companions and myself,. and shook a 1 rebuking finger at any boyish device to re lieve the tediousness of compulsory devo tion. Vain, however,were all their efforts at vigilance. Scarcely had the preacher held forth for half an hour, in one of his interminable sermons, than it seemed as if the drowsy influence 6 Sleepy Hollow breathed into the place : one by one the congregation sank into slumber the sane tified elders leaned back in their pews, spreading their handkerchiefs over their faces, ns if to keep off the flies ; while the locusts in the neighboring trees would spin out tleir galtry summer: notes, vieing with the sleep-provoking tones of the dominie."4 MELANCHOLY.

She had just got dn horse back, to accompany her father and a party of young friends a few miles into the coun try, when the animal on which she was riding, dashed off, and after running some hundred yards threw her against a tree.
