I have now in my hand!1, a gold watch, which combines embellishments and utility in propor tions, and is usually considered a very valuable appendage to the person of a gentleman. Ita hands, fiico, chain, and case, are of chased bur nished gold. Its gold seals sparkling with the ruby, the topaz, the saphire, the emerald. I open it and find that the work?, without which this elegantly chased case would be a mere shell, those hands motionless, and those figures without meaning, are made of brass. I investi gate further and ask what is the spring by which all these are put in motion made of? I am told it is made of steel. The reply is, that it is iron tht lias undergone a certain process. So then I find the mainspring, without which the watch would be motionless, and its hands, figures, and embellishments but toys, are not of gold that is not 6uflicently good, nor of brass, that would not do but of iron. Iron is therefore very pre cious mctel ; and this watch an apt emblem of society. Ita hands and figures which tell the hour, resemble the master spirits of the age, to whose movements every eye is directed. Its useless but sparkling 6eals, 6aphircs, rubies, to paz and embellishments, the aristocracy. Its works of brass the middle class, by the increas ing intelligence and power of which the master epirits of the age ate moved.and its main-spring, shut up in a box, alweys at work, but never tho't of except when it is disordered, broke, or wants winding, symbolically the lubonous clas ses, which classes are shut tip in obscurity, and though constantly at work, and absolutely as ne cessary to the movement of society as the iron main-sDr'mtr is to the gold watch, are never thought of except when they require their wa gee, or are in some want or disorder of some kind or other. Interesting Letter from An1u1on, Wo find in tin rxchango paper the following interesting letter from Audulion, written to Dr. Bachman, of Charleston, P. C. Latitude -10, 10 N., June 50th, 11S. ) 110 Miles above Fort Union. To Dr. J. rUrttMAN : My dear Friend It is with a transport of pleasure thnt 1 avail my self of this opportunity of sending a letter (by a hunter going down to Fort Union) to impart the gratification I have experienced since the date of my last, (nt the Fort, 13th inst.) I can not say but that I consider all my toils, trou bles and travels in the wilderness are fully and amply repaid by the discovery of an animal which bids fair to become not only a valuable, but domestic one although I have been sue cessM in this, my last journey, in collecting a number moro of beautiful specimens of birds, attended to with great hardship in some cases; but still they arc nothing in comparison with that which I have so lately discovered existed in these regions ; and fiommy own observa tions, together with the inquiries I have made of the Indians in this neighborhood relative thereto,! am satisfied that these animals can he procured in great plenty in certain portions of this territory. Out I must proceed, as you al ways expect, with my doings since the date of my last. We left the Fort (Union) on the morning of the 1 1th inst. a more beautiful day I never beheld. Just picture to yourself a clear sky, and not too warm a sun, with the most beauti ful scenery in the world before you, affording wide plains for your researches, filled with the melody of innumerable wild songsters, scent ed with the delightful perfume of a thousand variegated and useful unknown plants and herbs, which not only delight the eye by their various hues, but at once show the vast fields that nature has provided for the use of man and the improvement of science; it was indeed a beautiful subject for reflection, though I can not say I paid it just tribute, being so intent on my pursuits. We travelled that day a dis tance of forty miles, and I procured two more additional and beautiful specimens to my collec tion, but nature seemed afterwards to be not quite so munificent , continual heavy showers have molested us daily, and it is in a great measure owing to this that I accidentally came upon the animal I am going to describe. Yes terday, about 10 A. M., we saw dark heavy clouds coming from the South-cast, attended with heavy peals of thunder and vivid lieht- ning, when, in the distance, about a mile to the west waul, we perceived a large wood or forest, on the borders of a lake, some ten miles in circumference, towards which a number of flocks of birds were directing their course. This led us there, not for the mere purpose of shelter, (for that, to a man ofiny pursuits, would be feminine,) but that we might be enabled, a mong so great a variety of the feathered tribe, to procure something in addition to my stock. We had no sooner arrived at the place describ ed, than it rained in torrents my companions placed themselves under shelter of a large tree, while myself, too well aware of the abundance before me of that which I have so long made my study, Fullicd forth with my fowling piece (with the loek well protected from the rain.) I had proceeded the distance of about -100 paces when, to my horror, I heard not far from me, a very singular cry, in some measure resembling that of a human being in distress, but much louder. For a moment I did not know what to do, having nothing with me but small 6hot however, I was determined to proceed towards the spot from whence the cry arose, and ascer tain, ifpossible, what was the cause, knowing from its continuance and loudness, that my com panions would be attracted thither. I had not advanced many paces to the left, verging on the margin of the lake, before I perceived some animals moving among the trees. I approached very cautiously, and to my surprise saw two beasts, engaged in playing, or fighting; they appeared there to be of enormous height? when they 6tood on their hind legs, which have since ascertained they continually sit on, I remained watching them a short time, un certain what to do, when to my great joy my friends came up, being attracted by the noise, and having 6ome fears for my safety. Inactive spectators we could not remain so determined, therefore, to attack them, as they then lay ex hausted. 1 thought if they were not too vicious hut armed with sharp claws, and they bound or jump with their hind legs. They have a tail somewhat like that of a sheep, about 10 inches long, and round the middle of the body they have ring of flesh, about 12 inches wide and 8 nches thick in the middle or centre, which produces a great quantity of oil. On their heads they have two horns very similar to the horns of the deer, but not more than 12 inche long; the head is shaped also very like that of the deer, and hns the same kind of teeth; but what is more remarkable than all the rest, their coat is of the most beautiful fur I ever beheld, of a dark brown color. The proportions of the one we killed were very great ; it weighed, to the best of onr calculations, upwards of 000 pounds, and it measured from the top of the head to the end of the tail 9 feet 1 inches, which appears to be their full grown size. We had no sooner killed this one than some Indians, attracted by the report of the rifle, joined us. Our interpreter conversed with them they said thnt in these wood lands these animals were in great abundance). They call ed it in their tongue the Kc-ke-ko-ki, or Jutnp- they feed on grass herbs and foliage. Up on observing us take off the skin, the Indians expressed a desire to have sonic of the flesh, which we gave them. We cooked some of the same, and found it delicious ; it was very white and tender, tasted very similar to veal but the ring on the body was nearly all oil, and the whole upper port will produce a great quan tity. The Indians took us to their hut, or vil lage, which consisted of but six families ; there we saw no less than six of these animals do mesticated, two young ones, male ond female, which I bartered some beads for, and intend to send down to the Fort by the first opportunity. I think, without doubt, in point of useful ness and value, I may pride myself in surpass ing most of my compeers, in thus bringing so great a discovery to light. Every information respecting them I shall ondeavor to obtain be fore leaving. ded of him, as he proceeded, to say whether he alluded to him. McD. disregarded him, and merely told him, in a by-spcech, to call at his room and he would soon let him know. As McD. closed, Randolph said ho hoped the gen tleman would have spirit enough to soy whom ho meant, and took his scat apparently much agitated. Hut his courage, like that of Bob A- cres. evaporated ot his finjrers', or rather his tongue's end. I have passed over his encoun ter with Willis Alston and the circumstances attending it, which ended in an indictment by the District Court, and a fine of $20 imposed on Mr. It., fearing I have already sufficiently wearied your readers. But should they feel a disposition to hear me out, I have materials enough from the fertile source of oddity, genius and fiery temperament to compose another number. S. I.OWEI.L. From the frequent notices which we see in our exchange papers of lwell, her improvements, her manufactures and her in dustry, we are led to believe that she holds a more important rank in public esteem than is generally supposed by our citizens. She is certainly the queen city in manufactures in this country, and her rapid growth is equal to that of any ofthose Western cities, of which we often hear much said.

While Mr. Randolph was out, for the purpose of entering into the usual preliminaries for the anticipated duel, and holding a conversation with Senator White of Delaware, (I believe, but I am not certain, as his second,) the House had ordered the previous question, which cut off all f.trthor debate. Rondolph returned just ns the main question was about to be put and got up to speak, but beingstopped by the Spea ker's informing him what hnd taken place, he flew into a furious passion, and declared thnt the House had disgraced itself. The epithet "d d liar" was heard from several quarters. and Dr. Shaw of Vermont, said the rascal ought to be expelled. The House was in an uproar for some minutes, but the roll was called, the bill passed and thellonse adjourned.

Another such an animal I never saw your buffaloes or mountain elks are nothing in com parison, in the scale of worth. To give you a proper description will be to liken it some what in shape to a kangaroo, but varying in many particulars. It sits on its hind legs the same way, but not shaped in the abdominal re gions the same ; its front legs or arms are ihort Itcnjnniln RathlHin. "It is stated that Benjamin Rathbiin's term of imprisonment for forgery will expire in Sep tember next. Some of the Buffalo papers ore already making calculations about the benefits that will result from bis return to the scene of his former operations, when they think, not withstanding his former dissrace, he will give a new impulse to the prosperity of the place." We cut tho above from the Hartford (Ct.) Cotirant, and have seen it in at least fifty other papers. Its travels should be stopped. No Buffalo paper so fir as we know, have made any "calcnlation about tho benefits of Benja min Rathbun's return to the scene of his for mer operations," and none think "he will give a new impulse to the prosperity of the place." The truth is, there is a little or no diversity of sentiment here in regard to the effect of hiso perations. To say nothing of the incalculable moral injury he inflicted upon this city, he was entirely too grasping, too monopolizing, in his business, even if that business had been carried on without the aid of forgery. He was a bold, reckless speculator, and first set that ball in motion that has overwhelmed and crushed so many victims. He was a merchant, and wish ed to monopolize the business, and in his spec ulations as builder, grocer, coach and harness maker, painter, blacksmith, brickmaker, lumber dealer, &c. tc, his object sccmcn to be to grasp every thing, to drive every other master workman out of the business, and concentrate all in his own person. Sustained as he was by gigantic forgeries, of course no fair dealer could compete with him. The eflect was ruinous. Pile after pile went up by the enterprise of our citizens, but Rathbun was the builder, and there was death in the seeming vigor and prosperi ty. The mechanics, the support and life of tho place, were reduced to depend on one man. To the stranger, Rathbun seemed all in all ; when he fell, the explosion of his system caused a wreck and desolation, from which it has taken us years to recover. He was not a good busi ness man, and we have never yet heard of a plan of his indicating sound judgment. Any man with millions at his command, no matter how obtained, can produce great and stri king results ; but by his lavish expenditure, the public all the while ignorant of its source, and his wild, visionary undertakings, suitable only for a city of immense wealth, numbering its hundreds of thousands, he may unsettle all so ber calculations, and generate the like reckless spirit, which cannot fail to lead on to disaster and ruin. Such has been the effect of Rathbuu s operations here, but the stern loss has taught other people wisdom. They have struggled manfully against the world of obloquy cast upon their good name, by the exposition of the Rath bun forgeries, and against the deep, and as it seemed, almost incomparable losses which his operations inflicted upon them peculiarly. They are now on the firm substantial road to prosperity, and will never again be seduced therefrom by such a rnan as Ranjamin Rathbun.

All this blus tering and fuss i merely intended to bully Fp pes, and then through the disinterested inter ference of a friend, to get the quarrol accommo dated on the best terms he can.' And so in deed it happened. On the eve of adjournment, on the Sd of March, 11 1, a friend of Randolph, prompted to it, ns it was thought, by Randolph privately, called on Richard M. Johnson, Fp- pes's second, who was a good natured fellow, as was his principal Eppos himself, and offer ed, on the withdrawal of the challenge, to make a satisfactory explanation on tho part of Ran dolph. The offer was accepted, the matter a- micably settled, and the honor of the parties preserved whole with their hides. But you would be astonished to learn all the minutn'and details of the science of duclism. The care they take in selecting and putting in order the "irons." The bullet must fit the bore to a ni cety.

The powder, the first Ixindon duel ing, had to undergo the process of warming and drying, in a clean white crockery plate, o ver a 'chafing-dish or furnace of charcoal, from thence transferred to a sheet of white paper, and minutely examined by a microscope, grain by grain, and every mole, or particle of extrane ous matter, removed, before it was rammed down the pistol's throat, to propel with the ce- hie site in the heart of the city. The Imcll Company ate building a fine large Mill, in which to manutiicture carpets by power looms. We observed yesterday that the workmen were busily engaged in slating the roof. It will be ready to receive the machinery we pre sume by tho fill. We have before stated that Mr. Marland of Andover, had commenced manufacturing mus lin do laines. We oujrht to have stated nlso in connection, that the goods are printed in this city at the Hamilton Print-W orks, hy block printers. But little block printing has been done heretofore by this company. Should the Protective policy of our Govern ment be sustained, and we believe the workmen of our coun'.ry are strong enough tosu.-tain it, we may look forward with confidence to the future, and predict with certainty that the manhood of our city will be equaled only by the strength and vigor of its infancy. Lowell Courii r, ')ih. Death at Titr Gamino Table. Singvlar. Circvmstanci!. The German papers speak of a singular circumstance, which is about to give birth to a law suit. A middle aged man was not long since playing pharo atKoethen, in the principality of Anhalt. He had heen playing for some time, when the card he held won 1000 ducats. The dealer handed over the money, and inquired how he wished to continue the game; but the man made no reply. Repeat ing tho question, and receiving no answer, ha desired one of the bystanders to see if some thing was not the matter with the man. Ho did so, and the player was found to be a corpse. The dend body was taken away, and the deal er very cooly drew back his 1000 ducats, say ing that the game was a synallagmatic contract made between persons capable of fulfiling itj conditions and could not be supposed to hold good between the living and the dead. Thft heirs have claimed the sum, and the matter haa been referred to the tribunals. Icrity of lightning, tho deadly hall. It being a main point with Wilkison, and other profes sors of the art since, to draw the antagonist's fire. Randolph's beheviour to young members, whose maiden speeches were indicative of friendship to the 1'xccutivc, was extremely il lilieral. He was sure to bear down upon them with supercilious and personal invective and bitter sarcasm. In fact, he put mo in mind of breaking-in colts. He would spring upon their backs, with whip and spur, and the more they plunged and reared and stove ahead, the more he gave them tho lash and spur, until, having given them a thorough sweat, and taken off their fiery edge, he would dismount, and leave them gentle and well-broken political hacks. Sometimes, however, he would meet with his match, in some full-blooded foal, that proved re tilf, or to use one of his words, "iinpractica bio." Among them was Geo. McDiillioot S. Carolina. I believe Mr. McDutlienindo his de but in tho Session of 1-19. Randolph, who watched his motions, having heard some senti ments from the young orator, rather unpalata ble, undertook as usual, to give him a smart check. McD. replied in the usual vein of his bitter irony, and although he did not commit a breach of the rules of order, by alluding to the gentleman from Virginia by name, yet he sup posed a case, directly the reverse of a gentleman of a high sense of honor and generosity of feel ing, who, instead of quietly encouraging and sustaining the first rude attempts ot his fellow servants on the floor, did all he could to brow- beat, expose and put them down. He painted such conduct in the blackest colors of indignant eloquence. The House, by sympathy, cordial ly responded to every syllable he uttered. Ran dolph left his seat during its delivery, and stood by McD. in nicuancing attitude, and douiau- The Ciu iu ii op Scotlanu The following is given by the Scotsman as an estimate of the emoluments surrendered by the Clergyman who seceded from the Church of Scot land : "The stipend in the lowest class of livings in our established t. nurcn, lsxi.n tis. ru ; ana the manse and glebe lieing valued on an aver age a.
