NEW AGRICtLTEIMI SETTLEMENT, TO ALL WANTING FARMS, A RARE OPPORTUNITY IN A DELIGHTFUL AND HEALTHY CLIMATE 25 MILES SOUTH EAST OF P.IILADELPH IA, ON THE CAM DEN AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD, NEW JERSEY. An old estate consisting ot several thousand of acres of productive soil has been divided into 1 arms of various sizes to suit. the purchaser. A popula tion of some Fifteen Hundred , from various parts of the middle States and New England have settled there the past year, improved their places, and aised excellent rrope. The price of the land is at' the low sum of from sl3 to S2O per acre, the soil of the best quality for the production ol Wheat. Clover, Corn, Peaches, Grapes and Vegetables. IT IS CONSIDERED THE BEST FRUIT SOIL IN THE UNION. The place is perfectly secure Irom frosts the destructive enemy of the farmer. Crops of grain, grass and fruit are now growing and can be seen. By examining the place itself, a correct judgment can be formed of the productiveness of the land. The terms aie made easy to secure the rapid improvement of the land,, which is only sold for actual improvement. The Jesuit has been, that within the past year, some three hundred houses have been erected, two mills, one steain, four stores, some forty vinyards and peach orchards, planted, and a large number of other improvements, making it a desirable and active place of business. THE MARKET, as the reader may perceive I'rom its location, is the BEST IN THE UNION, Productsbringing double the price than in loca- ■ tions away from the city, and more than double the price in the West. It is known that the earliest and best fruits and vegetables in this latitude come from New Jeisey, and are annually exported to the extent of millions. In locating here, the settler has many advantages He is within a few hours ride of the great cities of New England and Middle country where every im- ' provetntut of comfort and civilization is at hand.— He can buy every article he wants at the cheapest j price, an I sell his produce for the highest, (in the West this is reversed,) he has schools for his chil dren, divine sendee, and will enjoy an op°n winter, and delightful climate, where fevers are utterly un known. The result of the change npon those from , the north, has generally been to restore them to an excellent state of health. in the way of building and improving, lumber can be obtained at the mills at the rate of $lO to sls per thousand. Bricks from the brick yard opened in the place, every article can be procured in the place; good carpenters are at band, and there is no place in the Union where buildings and im provement can be made cheaper. The reader will at once be struck with the advantages here presented, and ask himself why the property has not been taken up before. The reason , is, it was never thrown in the market; and unless these statements were correct, no one would be in vited to examine the land before purchasing. This all are expected to do. They w ill sell land under cultivation, such is the extent of the settlement that ' they will no doubt, meet persons from their own j neighborhood ; they will witness the improvements ' and can judge the character of.the population. If they come with a view to settle, they should come prepared to stay a day or two and be ready to pur- i chase, as locations cannot be held on refosal. There are two daily trains to Philadelphia, and to all settlers who improve, THE R .II.UOAT> COMPANY GIVES A FKEK TICKET FOR SIX MO.VT-JS AS P A HALF- !

BEDFORD, PA, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20,18GU [From the Boston Courier.] C'liristiatiify and Patriotism- LETTER FROM REV. DR. FULLER OF BALTIMORE. [Tlie Rev. Dr. Fuller, of Baltimore, having expressed his approbation of the speech of Mr. Everett, that gentleman, in reply, requested some information from Dr. F., as to the general effect on the condition of the slaves, of ihe agi tation of the subject of slavery, as it has been carried on for some years past. The subjoined answer to this enquiry addressed to Mr. E. f w.is sent by Dr. Fuller through a common friend , .y whom we have been permitted to pubfirfi .t :] To (he Hon. Edward Everett . My Dear Sir—Perhaps too much importance has been attached to that insane outbreak ol fa naticism at }I :rper's Ferry ; but the sympathy with such a deed off violence and blood, which has been manifested at the North—can any pa triot, any good man, observe this without a mazement and alarm ? i know the friends ol our common country are mistaken, when they complain that the grand Union demonstrations in Boston and other cities, have not been duly appreciated here and elsewhere. They have gladdened all true American hearts ; they have brought tears to many eyes : and caused multi tudes to say, <fc VVei 1 Jon-, good and faithful ser vants."' Still, while members are elected to Congress, who openly avow their hostility to the South, it is idle to expect too much confidence in aov assurances of fraternal affection proclaimed in popular assemblies, DO matter with what sincer ity and enthusiasm. I read your noble address with delight. J looked at tliat "touching pic ture, "The last days of Webster," and exclaim ed, "0, for one note of that clarion voice now!" But the South could not wish to hear What the Massachusetts Senators and Representatives -av. Would they avow these patriotic sentiments? Could they speak as you did,"without forfeiting their places ? Here, in this city, and over this land North and South, I fear we are feeling—and v iil ex perience still more mournfully—the wisdom of this prophetic warning, once ottered fey Mr. Burke : "Wlien bad m-*n combine, good men must associate, else they will fall one fcyscne, an unpitwd sacrifice in a contemptible ig f()o question you propose, I can answer confi dently ; fir, in leaving the bar and entering the ministry, 1 had intended to devote myself en tirely to the instruction ofthe slaves in South Carolina. For some time T confined myself to that mission, and T found everywhere among masters a prompt and active co-operat on.— True, there werp laws foi bidding the negioe? to assemble without a certain number of .vhie per sons ; but I violated that law most iiilu.-l'jous ly : meeting thousands from different p'snta ti -us and preaching to them. This wouil not be allowed now. Another statute, forbi.lJiig any to teach the negroes to read, was treated with as little regard. In almost every famil- ser vants learned to read—some oi tbem in m own household, not only reading, but writing pmucli better hand than their master. Jndeec such was the general prejudice against this latr en actment, that, in an address on the religius in struction of slaves, prepared at the rerpfct o) the South Carolina Agricultural Sooily, J strongly urged its repeal. Just about'lhtftime an attempt was made to abuse the mail ID cir culating incendiary works, and I was thut im pelled to withdraw that portion of the aiross —the president ofthe society, Gov. Seabr<&, a a most benevolent gentleman, producing tfe.w pamphletsand insisting that the law was m?s sary for the protection of the slaves tfu se Ives. In June, 1815, there assembled in Cha?s ton a body of men, representing almost allie wisdom and wealth ol South Carolina. T.re were present, also, delegates from Georgia,jd I beliew, from other States, it was a meeig of the association for the improvement, mal and religious, of the slave population, le veoerable Judge Huger presided. Having tm appointed to address that large and noble ui ence, I did not hesitate to speak my wje mind; appealing to masters to imitate the A>- nines and other magnanimous Roman Emptrs to become the guardians of their slaves, to he laws enacted protecting them in their relatis as husbands and wives and parents ; to re nize the rights which the Gospel asserts torr vants as well a3 masters, in a word, I prwj upon them the solemn obligations which <r power over these human beings imposed in them—obligations only the more sacred,?- cause their power was so irresponsible. That august assembly not ouly honored* with their attention, but expressed their ap val, the presiding officer concurring most i phatically in the views submitted. I need scarcely tell you that no such alls would be ragarded as wise or prudent at is time. It is not that masters are less engd in seeking to promote the mural and relfij well-being ot their servants; but mea'* Freedom of Thought and Opinion. which once could have been adopted most ben eficially would now only expose master and ser vant to the baneful influence of fanatical inter meddling. II en3'thing is certain, it is, that the Gospel does not recognize hatred, abuse, violence and tilood a<; the means b}' which good is to be done Jhe Gospel is a system of love. It assails no established social relations, but it infuses love into the hearts of those who arc bound together and thus unites them in affection. If the Gos pel is to emancipate slaves, it will be, 'not by insurrection and massacre, but by a love which iviii mi It of their bonds. Let the spirit of the Vw Testament triumph, and al! wrath and mger and bitterness will cease. The South ind the North will harmoniously consult as to ihe be. t interests ol the Africans now in our nidst ; and masters will seek to promote the lie best welfare ot those who have been com nitted to their care. i think I speak accurately when I say, that litherto every sacrifice for the emancipation of wives has been made by Southern men; and ma y hundred thousand of dollars have been ex ended in such liberations. The North has ! a'asted large sums for abolition books and lec- i ures; fur addresses calculated to inflame the j mag in at ton of women and children, and to mis- i ea<i niuititudfs of men—most excellent and ; ■ ions but utterly ignorant as to the condition - >1 things at the South. We now find, indeed, j hat money has been contributed even for the 'Urcba.se of deadly weapons to be employed a ;ainst the South, and to enlist the most fero :tous passions in secret crusades, compared with A .iicli an open invasion by foreign enemies would be a blessing. I believe, however, that; lot one cent lias vet been given to set on fool— ar even to encourage when proposed—any j plausible enterpiise for the benefit ol the slave. I In the providence of God some of these peo pie have been placed under mv care. IVIy re sponsfjilili 's have pressed heavily upon n'.ej nor have 1 failed to seek from God, and from the wisdom oMhe wisest men, a knowledge of my duty to them. lam no politician, seeking to make capital out of this dangerous subject. lam a Christian, seeking to obey God in all things. And willing to make great sacrifices, to reduce rnv'sHt and family to comparative have twice madV overt urn 1o men of influence* snd wealth at the North-once publicly, in a correspondence with Dr. Wayland, and' once more privately— and I have, in al! sinceritv, invited one, or two, or fifty, to manifest a wil lingness to part w.th even a pittance of their wealth, and then to show me what could be done to promote the happiness and welfare of these slaves. Rut not a single response have I ever heard whispered. While writing the first of these propositions there was under my roof in Carolina a violent abolitionist from New England, a man of great wealth. I read the letter to him before it was sent, and he express ed his astonishment at my venturing on such a step, but neither he nor any other man has in timated a willingness to part with money, that the negro might he rescued from what they pro fess to regard as a deplorable abyss of misery. 1t the South is denounced for not at once immolating four thousand millions of property guarantied to them by (he constitution ; tor not at once abandoning to weeds and brambles mil lions of fertile acres; for not breaking up (heir entire social system, and either driving their servants fiom their comfortable homes, to be come vagabonds in other Sta'es, which will a gain drive them out of their borders—or else harboring in their midst hordes of discontented, indolent vagrants utterly unfit for freedom, who would certainly be exterminated, unless in mercy they were again reduced to servitude. Because they will not do all this; will not in flict this suicidal wrong upon themselves, and try this fatal experiment upon the servants they love—because they will not thus hi in their families, and desolate their hearths and homes, and all this in violation of their best convictions of duty, they are to be the objects of incessant calumny, to be pillaged and mur dered iu cold blood by Ih-'ir own fellow-citi zens, who are heroes and martyrs for doino this butchery. J do now believe that the guardianship of a kind master is, at this tim e, a great blessing to 'he African. If imancipation is ever to take place, i will be gradually, and under the mild, but resistless influence of the Gospel. Wheth er slavery be an evil or not, we at the South did not bring these Africans here—we protes ted against their introduction. The true friend of hie African is at (he South, and thousands of hearts there are seeking to know what can be done for this race. There must be some Jim its to human responsibility, and a man in New England has no more right to interfere with the institutions of Virginia, than he has to interfere with those of England or France. All such interference will be repelled by the master, but d will prove injurious to the slave. Dr. Chan n.ng was regarded as a leading abolitionist in his day; but could that noble man now rise up, he would stand aghast at the madness which is rife everywhere on this subject. "One great principle, which we should lay down as im movably true, is, that if a good work*cannot be carried on by the calm, self-controlled, benev- ; olent spirit of Christianity, then the lime for doing it has not come." Such was his lan guage, when opposing slavers'. \Vere he now living, the delirious spirit of (he day would de nounce him, as it denounced Mr. Webster, and j now denounces you and every true patriot. Nay, even Mr. Beecher is abused as not trucu nlent enough. Jesus saw slavery all around him. Did he ;eek to employ force ? He said, "All power in heaven and earth is given unto me, tlrerelore, *o teach , go preach the Gospel.'' INO language can express my love fur this Union. Others speak of the blessings it con fers; I regard tire Union itself as the greatest rlessing; and other advantages chiefly to be pri ced because they corroborate and perpetuate the Union. Hitherto I have smiled at ail croak rg about disunion; now I feel that the Union sin imminent danger. The tocsin of rebel ion is heard from many quarters. It rs writ en in the book of Genesis, that when Rebecca, a danger of expiring, cried fo God to know the cause of the strange pangs by which her frame vas convulsed, the angel replied "Thou cerri st two hostile nations in thy bosom." Unless Heaven interposes, this land must be rent and orn by two nations burning with the fiercest iostility, and engaged in a fratricidal and most rorrible warfare. I rejoice that there are yet pared to us some men of the old revolutionary damp: men with hearts like yours to love the [ nion; with eloquence like yours, to sound the llarm ere it is too late, and to rally to the cause >f the Union all who are worthy to be citizens jf this and glorious Republic. With esteem, my dear Sir, I am sincerely yours, RD. FULLER. Baltimore, Dec. 19, 1559. Bowler Atf ventures- Extraordinary strength and activity, with the most daring courage, and a thorough knowl edge of life in the woods, won tor Joshua Flee hart, a high reputation among the first settlers ™r npand ohio. When the Ohio company its settlement at Marietta, in April, 1 /78, Fieehart was employed as a scout and a hunter. Jn this service he" had no supe rior north ot the Ohio. At periods of the trrea test danger, when the Indians were known to be much incensed against the whites, he would start from the settlement with no companion but his cog, and ranging within about twenty miles of an Indian town, would build his cabin and trap and hunt during nearly the whole season. On one occasion this reckless con tempt of danger almost cost the hunter's life. Having become tired of the sameness of garrison Tie, and panting lor that freedom among the woods and hills to which he had a!wavs°been accustomed, late in the fall of 1795 he'took his canoe, rifle, traps, and blanket, with no one to accompany him, leaving even his faithful doer in the garrison with his family—for he wa3 go ing into a dangerous neighborhood, and he was fearful lest his bark might betray him. With daring and intrepidity he pushed iiis canoe up the Scioto river a distance of fifteen or twenty miles, into the Indian country, amidst their best hunting grounds for the bear and the beaver, where no white man dared to venture. These two were the main objects of his pursuit, as the hills of Brush creek were said to abound in bear, and tire small streams that fell into the Scioto were well suited to tire haunts of the beaver. The spot chosen for his winter resi dence was within twenty-five or thirty miles ol the Indian town of Chilicothe, but as they sel dom go far to bunt in the winter, he had ' little to fear from interruption. For ten or twelve weeks he tiapped and hunted in this solita ry region unmolested. His success had equal- Jed Ins most sanguine expectations, and the winter passed away so quietly, and pleasant ly, that he was hardly aware of its prog ress. ° About the middle of February, he began fo make up the peltry he had captured into" pack ages, and to load his canoe with the proceeds of his winter's hunt, which for safety had been se creted in the willows, a few miles below the litlle bark hut in which he had lived. The day before that which he had fixed for hi* depar ture, as be was returning to his camp just at evening, Fleehart's acute ear caught ihe report of a nfle in the direction of the Indian towns, but at so remote a distance that none but a backwoodsman could have distinguished the sound. This hastened his preparaticyis for de camping. Nevertheless he slept quietly, but rose the following morning before rhe dawn ; cooked and ate his last meal in the little hut-to which he had become quite attached. The sun had just risen, and he-was sitting on the trunk of a fallen tree, examining (he priming and lock of his gun ; casually casting a look up th** riv er bank, he saw an Indian slowly approaching with his "eyes intently fixed on the ground, carel fully inspecling the track of his moccasins left in the soft earth as he returned to his hut tiie evening before. He instantly cocked his gun, stepped behind a tree, and waited till dian came within a sure range of his shot. He then fired and the Indian fell. Rushing from the cover on his prostrate foe, he was atrout to apply the scalping knife ; but seeing the shi ning silver brooches and broad bands on his arms, he fell to cutting them loose, and tucking h M; SB *s. , 'hem into the bosom oJ his hunting shirt.— U hile busily occupied in securing the spoils, the sharp crack of a rifle and the passage of a ball through the bullet pouch at his side, caused him to look up, when he saw three Indians with jin a hundred yards of him. They being too j numerous for him to encounter, he seizo r his rifle and took to flight. The other two as he r<ii> fired at him without effect. The chase was continued for several miles by two of the In dians, who were the swiftest runners. He of o n stopped and "treed," hoping to get a shot a-' . kill or disable one of them, and then over come the other at his leisure. His pursuers al so "(reed, and by flanking to the right and left ! reed him to uncover or stand the chance of a shot. He finally concluded to leave the level grouods, on which the contest far oeen held, and take to the bi 2 h hills which lie ! back of the bottoms. His strong muscular limbs here gave h ; m the advantage, as he could ascend the steep hill sidf-s more rapidly than his pursuers. The Indians seeing they could not overtake him, as a last aflort stopped and ftred ; one of the bails cut away the handle of his hunting knife, jerking it so violently against his side that lor a moment he thought he was wounded. He immediately returned the.fire, and with a yell of vexation they gave up the chase. Fleehart made a circuifamongMhe hills and just at dark came on to the river, near where the canoe lay hid. Springing on board, he paddled down stream. Being greatly fa tigued with the effort of (he day, he lav down in the canop, and when he awoke in the morn ing the boat was just entering the Ohio river. Crossing over to the southern shore, he, in a few days, pushed his canoe up to Farmer's Cas ile, without further adventure, where he show ed the rich packages of peltry, as the proceeds ot his winter's hunt, and displayed the brilliant stiver ornaments as trophies of his victory, to the envy and admiration of to is less venturous companions. Ciood advice from a slave A slave named Green was hung in St. Jo seph, Mo., on the 2d inst., for the murder of his master, I. M. VVlight. He was a fellow pris oner with the notorious Doy, and the day be fore the execution he made'a confession of his crime. Ho said his master treated him kindly, and never spoke across woid to him. and the only reason be could give fur shooting his mas ter was, that he was told to do so by white peo ple. He aiso said :—"lf I had not listened to thp advice of bad white men I would not now be coDGned in this jail. I would like to say a word to my black friends, and it is this—l had a good borne, but listening to the advice of bad men 1 am now in thir jail ; and I would advise ait who have good masters and mistresses, and even those who may have bad ones, never to listen to any advice men mav give them, advi sing them to run off, or to do injury fo the p. operty of their masters or mistress. I took Kie advice or bad persons, and I am to suffer oeath for listening to them.

Audubon of course ca,.ed upon several of his subscribers for payments. It so happened that Mr. Astor (probably that he might not be troubled abou> smal, matters) was not applied fo before the de nsely ut a.i the letter-press and plates. Then however Audubon asked for his thousand dol lars; but he was put off with one excuse or an nolher. • Ah, Mr. Audubon," would the own er ol mi.lions observe, "yon come at a bad time rnoney ,s very scarce; I have nothing in bank ! I have i nvesteu all my funds." At length, the th udubon calh ' d U P™ Astor for his thousand dollars. As he was ushered into his presence he found Hif ham B.
