CHARLES II. AND WILLIAM PENN.
When William Penn was about to sail
from England for Pennsylvania, he Went
to take bi leave of the king, and the fol
lowing conversation occurred.
"Well, friend Wiiliarn," said Charles, "I
have sold you a noble, province in North
America ; but still I suppose you have no
thoughts of going' thither yourself."
"Yes I have," replied William, "and I
am just come to bid thee farewell.''
"What .''venture yourself among the, sav
ages of NorthlAmeri6a ; why, man, what
security have you that you will not be in
their war-kettle in two hours after setting
foot on their shores ?" j
"The best in the worlJ," replied Penn.
"I doubt that, friend.: William. 1 jhave
no idea of any securityagainst those can
nibals, but in a regiment of good soldiers,
with their muskets and bayonets- And
mind, I tell you before hand, that, with all
ray good wi;l for you and j-our family, to
whom 1 am under obligations, I will not
send a single soldier with you."
- "I want none of thy soldiers," answered !
William. "I depend ,on something better
than thy soldiers." . j
The King wished to know what thai was.
"Why, I depend on themselves on; their
own sural sense even on that grace of
GoJ which bringeth salvation and which
hath appeared unto all men."
"I fear, fnend W iiliam, that that grace
1 has never appeared to the Indians of North
America." I
"Why not to them as well as all oth
ers?" : !
"If it had appeared to them," said the
king, "they would hardly have treated my
subjects so barbarously as they have done."
" That is no proof to the conrrary,j friend
Charles. Thy subjects were the aggres
surs. When thy subjects first went to
North America, they found these poor peo
ple the fondest and kindest creatures in the
world. Every day they-would watch for
them to come ashore, and hasten to meet
them, and feast them; on the best fish and
venison and corn, which was all that tbej
had. In return for this hospitality of the
savages, as we call them, thy subjects,
-termed Christians, seized on their country
- and rich hunting grounds for farms for
Themselves! Now, is it to be wondered at
4hat these much injured people should have
. been driven to desperation by such injus
tice ; and that burning with revenge they
should have committed some excess?"
"Well, then, I hope, friend William, j'ou
"will not complain when they come to treat
you in the same manner."
"I am not afraid of it," said Penn.
fAye ! hoV will you avoid it 1 You
mean to get their hunting grounds too, 1
suppose ?" !
"Yes, but not by driving theni away
from them." i
"No, indeed ! How then will you get
their lands? j
"I mean to buy their lands of them."
"Buy their lands of them! why, man,
you have already bought them of me."
"Yes, I know 1 have, and at a dear rate
too ; but I did it only to get thy good will,
not that I thought thou hadst any right to
their lands."
"Zounds, man no right to their land I"
"INo, friend Charles, no right at all
What right hast thou to their lands?"
"Why, the right of discovery; the right
which the Pope and all Christian kings
have agreed to give one another."!"
"The right of diseavery! a strange kind
of right indeed. Now suppose, friend
Charles, some canoe loads of these Indians,
crossing the sea, and discovering tby is
land of Great Britain, were to claim it as
their own'and set it up for sale over thy
nead,wnat wouklst thou think of it 7
"Why why why," replied Charles,
"I must confess I should think ll a piece
oi great impudence in them' i
"Well, then, how canst thou a Christian,
and a C Arislian Jfrince too, do that which
thou so utterly condemnest in these people
woom tnou cal lest savages 7 ,- xes, friend
Charles, and suppose again that these In
dians ou thy refusal to give up thy island
of Great Britain, were to make war with
thee, and, having weapons more destruc
tive than thine, were to destroy many of
tny suojecis tna to utive in rest away
wouldst thou not think it horribly cruel?"
The Winer a&spnlino- to this with eirnnn
marks of conviction, William proceeded
"Well, tnen, fnend Charles, how can I
Christian do what I should abhor even in
heathens ! No, I will not do it. But 1
will buy the right of the proper owners
even of the Indians themselves. ! By doing
this I snail imitate Uod himself, m his jus
: tice - and mercy, and thereby . insure his
-blessing on my colony, it ever I should lrve
- to plant one in "North America," Weem's
Life of Wm. fenrj-
. As the light of truth and science advance
" the character of the Indian, as well as that
'Of Wm. Penn. shone- brighter and brighter
and the policy of just and fair dealings,
which Penn ever manifested towards the
red men of the forest, is continually rising
lb" the public estimation. , '
While Wm- Penn was expressing his
confidence in the power of justice and ba-
nificence for security among the savages,
the King, doubtless, regarded him as a fa-
. 14-.
natic, about to expose nimseu to tne toma
hawk. But events proved that Wm. Penn
had more correct views of the Indian char
acter than his sovereign ; and had the spir
it and policy of this philanthropist heen
displayed by all the emigrants to America,
how vast would have, been the saving ot
human blood and human woe. In that
case we should not have heard so much of
the bravery cf our ancestors in destroying
the natives : but we should have heard of
deeds unspeakably more to their honor,
and on which posterity might have reflect
ed without horror or regret.
The life and humane policy of Wm.
Penn in respect to the Indians, exhibits a
stronr contrast with the policy of Capt.
Smith in Virginia, and deserves the atten
tion of all politicians and philanthropists.
Captain Smith, with a company of emi
grants, came to Virginia in 1607: and es
tablished himself at a place which was af
ter wads called Jamestown, relying on fort
resses and weapons of death for defence a
gainst the Indians. Wm. Penn came to
Pennsylvania, and founded the city or r'nil
adelphia, resolving to make no use of mili
tary weapons for defence against the na
tives, believing that a spirit of peace, jus
tice, and benificence would afford more se
curity. japt. amitn invaded tne ngnts oi
the Indians m V lrginia, and sought tor
safety in his soldiers, cannon, forts, &o.,
and slept only in the security of sentinels
and guards. But Wm. Penn saved all
this expense, and proved that a city of
' brotherly love" needs neither soldiers nor
cannon for its defence; and Wm. Penn
and bis followers, though surrounded by
thousands of Indians, could sleep sweetly,
without even bars or bolts to their doors.
In Virginia the Indians were so desirous
to drive away the English, that they with
held provisions : and it was not without
difficulty that Capt. Smith could obtain
food, and of 120 persons, a considerable
number actually starved to death. But in
Pennsylvania in consequence of the hu
manity and justice of the governor, the
hearts of the Indians were so opened that
they brought in an ample supply of provi
sions for himself and nearly 3,000 follow,
ers.
Capt Smith and his party could never
venture from the fort through fear of being
assaulted by the Indians, with whom they
were always in " hot water," and often in
bloody war Governor Penn, with his
broad 'brimmed bit and staff in his hand,
cou'd walk through the country with safe
ty; the Indians instead of assaulting him
would throng about him to shake bands,
calling him brother I brother!
Win. Penn and the Indians lived so pet-
fectly in the spirit of brothers, that, during
the seventy years which he and the Friends
had the rule in Pennsylvania, there was
never known a single instance of murder.
The history of these two colonies shows
with great force the fulfilment of that scrip
ture with said, " he that taketh the sword
shall peribh by the sword !" Capt. Smith's
city, Old Jamestown, built in violence and
blood, has been so swept from the face of
the earth, that there is scarcely a tomb
stone remaining to tell where it stood, while
Wm. Penn's city, Philadelphia, established
in justice and brotherly kindness, has
grown up fo be the glory of the country.
We might notice numerous instances to
show that the Indian, though a savage ene
my, is more suspectible of kindess and
more completely under the influence of the
highest and noblest feeling of the human
soul, than any other people ; and the strict
est principles of integrity and honesty were
er manifested on their part, lilt the repres
sion of the whites had driven them to des
peration.
1 heir wars were wars of self-defence ;
they were fighting for tneir country, for
their hunting grounds, for their homes, and
for the graves of their fathers. But in all
their savage deeds of cruelty they were
never known to molest the Quakers, being
tauught to reverence them ; and in many
instances, during the Indian wars, hav; the
houses occupied by these peaceful Friends
been left unmolested, while every other
house in the settlement was plundered and
burned. But the Indians have been over
powered by superior force, yet their magn
animous minds have never been made to
yield in slavery to their oppressers and con
querors. They will face death with as
muck fortitude as the Christian martyrs,
but their religion and their manly feelings
alike defy the bonds of slavery. Their
honor is like the bow that would break but
not bend. But they are fast passing away.
That proud independence which formed
the main pillar of Indian virtue, has been
shaken down, and that noble spirit and na.
live courage has been made to cower under
the superior knowledge and power of their
enlightened neighbors, and the noble char
acteristics of these Indian tribes are becom
ing forgotten by the mass of the people. It
is even now scarcely remembered that there
was a time when their forefathers owned
this great land, when their seats extended
from the risiug to the- setting sun. when
all these now fertile fields were their hunt
ing grounds. It is true, that now and then
a man of genius touches the subject with a
graceful pen, and awakens a transitory
feeling in behalf of their now fading race.
CALIFORNIA QUICKSILVER.
The exports of quicksilver from Cal
ifornia during the first quarter of the
present year amounted to 6,056 flasks,
mid in the second to 5,082 do., making
a total to July 1st of 11,158 flasks of 75
pounds each, lhe principal portion
was, ns usual, sent to China and Mexi
co, although some parcels went to South.
America, and a few hundred flasks to
New York. The consumption in Cali-
iortua, too, is saiu to De increasing rap

STARTLING INCIDENT AND UIRACULOU
: : ESCAPE. ,
The Kanawha Republican narrates the
following incident: '
"On the 16th .. instant, two gentlemen
were endeavoring to, cross the Kanawha
river in a skiff, about one mile above the
Kanawha Falls. Being strangers, and
not knowing the character of the river,
they did not have oars, and were only pro
vided with an ordinary pole. They soon
reached deep water, where bottom could
not be obtained, and rapidly drifted towards
the Falls, and apparently to eternity, as no
human being or animal has ever been
known to go over the Falls and escape
with lifet The men, "despiring, sat down
in the skiff, and as they approached the
brink of the cataract, the boat took, fortu
nately, a course with her bow down
stream, and descended the first fall in safe
ty; the second pitch she plunged under
the water in the boiling whirlpool, which
is at the foot.
One of the gentlemen, named J. R. F.
Mosely, of Amherst county, together with
his favorite dog "Taylor," (also in the skiff
with them.) came to the surface about fif
ty yards below, and saved "themselves by
clinging to the skiff, which had turned bot
tom upwards, from which they were taken
some distance below.
The other, James. T. Cristian. of Ap
pom ttox county, did not make disappear
ance above the water for the distance of a
hundred yards, where he was rescued in
the last struggles for life, by two young
men, Hiram Johnson and Franklin Simms,
who went to his relief in a skiff, which
Mr. Henry Rigg had hurriedly got ready
for the purpose at the time of their descent
over the Falls. This is a feat hitherto un
known in the navigation of the Kanawha.

ACQUITTAL ON A CHARGE OF MURDER.
Washington, July 29. The trial of
young Jarboe, for the shooting of Nally,
the alleged seducer of his sister, was con
cluded this evening. A recess had been
taken until quarter-past five o'clock. The
jury then retired, and returned in twenty
minutes into a crowded court-room, when
John Scrivener, the foreman, announced a
verdict of tt Not Guilty." This was im
mediately followed by un irrepressible burst
of applause, which was severely condemn
ed by the court.
When the words M not guilty " fell from
the foreman's lips Jarboe's father fell upon
his son's neck quite overwhelmed, and then
withdrawing a few feel burst into tears.
It was an affecting spectacle, and crowds
rushed forward to congratulate young Jar
boe. The jury were then dismissed. M.
PRIM PEOPLE.
There is a set of people whom I cannot
bear the pinks of fashionable propriety
whose every word is precise, ami whose
every movement is unexceptionable ; but
who, though well vereed in all the catego
ries of polite behavior, hare not a panicle
of soul or of cordiality about them. We
allow that their manners may be abund
antly correct. There may be elegance in
every gesture, and gracefulness in every
position, not a smile out of place, and not a
step that not would bear the measurement of
the severest scrutiny. This is all very fine;
but what 1 want is the heart and the gaie
ty of social intercourse the frankness that
spreads ease and animation the eye that
speaks affability to all, that chases timidity
from every bosom, and tells every man in
the company to be confident and happy.
This is what I conceive to be the virtue of
the text, and not the sickening formality of
those who walk by rule, and would reduce
the .whole of human life to a wire-bound
sjstem of misery and constraint Dr.
Chalmers.
THE HOTTEST WEATHER FOR SLXTY-
EIOHT YEARS.
Mr. E. Merriam, the sage of Brook
lyn Heights, has addressed the follow
ing note, with accompanying interesting
statistics, in reference to the weather, to
the New York Express :
This is the 18th day of the present
heated term, which was commenced on
the 11th itist. by an earthquake felt at
Freeport, Armstrong county, Pa., on the
evening of th I Oth. No lightning has
been visible from any place of observa
tion since the evening of Tuesday, 23d,
which immediately preceded the second
series of heated days of this term thus
presenting another case in which the
thunder and lightning has not cooled
the air. That storm was severe at Cro-
tou Falls and in the State of Rhode Is
land. No rain has fallen here since
12ih, and but one inch and fifty-three
hundredths of an inch since 23d June.
Since the date of my last communica
tion containing the maximum tempera
ture each day from 11th to 24th inclu
sive, the maximum temperature has
been each -day as follows :
Friday, 25th 96 deg. from 1 to 4 p.
m.
Saturday, 26th 99 deg. at 3 p. m.
Sunday, 27th 100 deg. at 1 p. m.
Monday, 28th 98 deg. at 3 p. m.
On Friday, at and above 90 deg. for
eight hours, averaging v4.
On Saturday, at and above 20 deg
for ten hours, averaging 94 1-2.
On Sunday, at and above 90 deg. for
twelve hours, averaging 95 2-3. ; .
- We have nothing on our records for
sixty years that equals the present Heat
ed term for intensity and long contin
uance of the heat combined. July,
1854. approaches the nearest from 3d
to 5th of that month, three days, the
maximums were 96. 67 and 100 deg. :
and for six davs in the same month
were 90, 92, 98, 99, 96 and 92 deg. .
" MEET XIE AT THE CLIFTON HOUSE."
This is the popular by-word of the hour,
and it seems Ukely, by apropos allusions to
it. actually to "turn away wrath M in tem-

him from an , impending-, difficulty. But
there is a disposition to improve upon Mr.

It is said that DougDt vbamu ) me ik-h id

niukavine : one-in which there Is more of truth
than poetry or romance, and in view of thi old
saying and the Annimal'a experience, hi old

line hereafter cut tbe same caper again He ll
kick any man that would intimate such a thin'.
The Live Giraffe will then bo nentrul. It will

summer roses do." but for its columns : it will
Keek every opportunity to turn grave and tininter-
e.oting matters into pleasant and agreeable iticl-
ilenia ; upset an lu-naioreu Humanity it ruceiv

The ctlizens of Raleigh Know welt in.ngh the
value of such a sheet, and would not do without
it another year tor half a million Yh . inc- the
exit of Ihe Animal from their borders, they have
had more bad luck than was vcr beat d of before.
More Trusts have lcen made more liens been
given upon projierty, more assignment made,
more quarreling and flghtina. more drinking of
liqHOr tnoro meanness generally, and more ill
nek than ever was Known at any periou since tne
great plague in Eaypt. -
Now Hits 19 as plain as nayiignt. ana tne onty
remedy for such evils is to trot out tbe Animal
again. So I think.
Now. this is the proposition I shall matte to
you I waul an assurance of your willingness to
patronize tbe Animal, and to get tuat assurance l
xhall give yon full opportunity to correspond with
ine and to scud in all the names mat can be so-
cured.
If 600 names e n be secured, we shall have no
fears o the succefea of Ihe Animal, lie will soon
grow lat when he begins In take exercise, and,
then he can plead his own ease, it not with elo
quent vords at least with an occasional kick at
he Iwiys.
it has been intimated to me that the connec
ion I sustained to the "Carolina Pennant" w ould
injure the Animal since the Pennant" had sud
denly expired and left many of its snfoseribers in
the sifts. I have to av here, and 1 hote it will
satisfy every body that I had no interest in the
Pennant. I wrote most of its Editorials lr
which I should have received simething according
to agreement hut I did not. I have tried this
co business and it neither pays nor suits my ge
nius. I want a broad hemisphere, a wide lalr
tud, and nobody to divide with me in thespnils.
Then, friend, we now oriderst nn eacu otner
I want yon to send me your names between now

'Animal" will mk-hU bow; it not no harm done.

THE CmiEKION:

16 pities, 4to.
J AS commenced on ihe 3d of November, 1655,
V and has thus far received very general appro-
cation Anxious to extend us influence, ana piuce
it upon a substantial basis of support, the Publish
-r desires moat earnestly to direct ine attention oi
ihe thinking public of America to it claims upon
iheir consideration.
The main feature of the CRITERION is its 're
views of Cum nt Literature In this department
are given thorough and able criticisms of all the
most iinnortant Books as they are issued, pointing
out their chief chancterUt'cs, and indicating
their moral tendencies, thus keeping its readers
informed of all new publications which deserve
their attention. It also contains-
Copious Intelligence of Affairs n the Literary
World,
Gossip concerning Books and Writers, '
Announcements of contemplated Publications, and
Lists ot riev) Books issued in America ana Europe.
The Drama," Mubic, Fine Arts, and Science, also
receive aitenilon. and several columns ot curelullt
selected and agreeable mat er are giveti in each
number, in addition to trie above mere is a ae
partmenl of MUceilanea tor reading ot an enter
taining character, car- fully selected I rom new books
ana tne aoiest reviews, ana a weeaiy cutiet-non oi
Notes and Qufriea. which contain a great variety
of curious and valuable information
It is confidently believed that a journal such ns
lhe C It I I'Eu ION cannot fail to have a good t ffi ci
upon our national literature, and t some extent
upon rur nation.il character. It will be found es
pecially valuable In directing the attention of youth
to works of real excellence, and encouraging nn
appreciation for valuable reading which is D.-lna
rapidly destroyed by the circulation of t-uperfiVi.-ii
and a.-phistlcal books. To the reading- man the
literary inttlllgence alone must render it very de
tain Met and to alt who wish to promote an improve
ment in taste, the encouragement of merit, and an
uncnprniisina condemnation of vieioua style,
mock sentiment, and evil principles, sucn an enter
prise cannot at least, should not be indifferent.
To members oi Historical, Li:eray and Ncientl
fie .Societies, Lyc-sins and Debating Clubs, the
subjects discussed in this paper will at all times
pr-ve of peculiar interest, and It Is the design of-
the editors to thoroughly canvass irom time to
timeihoseiinportant philosophical que.- tions which
agitate all inquiring minds, correcting lalsc theo
