Extract from a journal of Welch Si Cos., vi

questrians. A Llil K K S .
Friday, July 27th.
We opened in Algiers to a full house. The
population of this city is estimated at seven 'y
or eighty thousand, one half of which are Kn ro
pes ns. There are also about two thousand
soldiers within thu walls, and about sixty thous
and stationed throughout the interior. The
Trench possessions extend lour or five hundred
miles along the coast, and ninety miles into the
interior. Oran, Bond, and Constantino, are ve
ry considerable towns. The two former have
good harbors. The view of Algiers on entering
! the harbor is magnificent ; the snow-white build
ings extending from the water nearly to the top
of the hill, contrast beautifully with the black
spars and purring of the ninny vessels anchored
in front. I,ooking to the right yon see the
barracks neatly built on the level shore, ut the
I foot of the high ridge which extends along the
Const, studded with beautilul country seats of
white freestone, or plastered buildings of Moor
j ish architecture, shaded with evergreens. To
j the li ft of the town on the top of the hill, stands
j Fort I Kniperiur, which was the first point
J taken by the French. They landed six miles
west of the city, and with some difficulty took
; this tort, from which they bombarded the town,
' and in a very short time took it. The city
and surrounding ceuntry has been greatly im
' proved in the thirteen years the French have
' had possession of it. The lower part of the ci
ty has been entirely rebuilt, and some fine sK,
Mpiares and buildings tuny he found; but in the
upper part, the alleys for they cannot be call
ed streets twist and turn under and through
the stone buildings ; some are entirely closed

Dkar cousin, I've gazer) on this image
Of meekness and beauty so long,
That its spell has enraptured my spirit,
And awakened my lyre to song.
I would that some fairy would furnish
The words to be woven in verse,
For my language is weak and unfitted
The charms of that face to rehearse
That brow has the brightness of morning
Those tresses the sable of night,
Save just w hore the day looks upon them.
There gleams a soft trace of moonlight :
That cheek shames the lip of the sea-shell
So warm anil so soft is its glow
AVhile those lingers just fall on the bosom,
Like snow llukes descending on snow.
The blue and the brightness of heaven
Have met in those soft beaming eyes ;
They remind us of violets nursing
Th sunbeams just caught from the skirs,
Their glances of gentleness, cousin,
Have thrown an enchantment round you
And 1 tear if 1 gaze on them longer.
My heart w ill turn worshipper too.
Take back, then, and cherish the sembhince
Of her yon have won for your bride
Whose goodness enchains your affection,
While her loveliness wakens your pride,
And take with it many kind w ishes
That Heaven may prosper your love
Whose beauty, though "of thecaith caithy:"
Shall beam with new glory above.

Il is very large and has alauit sixty pillars, anil
arches, the floor is covered with matting and
beautiful carpets: every I ur hours, day and
night, a white flag is hoisted on the lolty turret,
where several Moors go up and enll on M.ahoin

them when they die, while those below, stand
in front of the pillars making singular motions
with their arms, then falling on their faces they
kiss the floor ; this they repeat a number of
times. Tney bury their dead at night and
stand them erect in their graves with their faces
towards Mecca. The lull of hair which they
do not shave offjlin crown of their heads, is left
for Mahornmet to tnke hold by, tocarry them to

I visited the Dey'a Palace, Citadel, and Se-
riglio; they arc at the extreme tipper part of
the town and are all connected, forming the
Southern barrier. This immense Moorir.li
structure, contains rooms and halls sufficient to
lodge six thousand soldiers. The lower class

sioht I ever behold was on entering the large

were confined. They were nil about half na

The expedition of Lewis and Clark to the
Rocky Mountain, is a work well known
throughout the United Slates. These two in
ilivirhiils were employed by the General Go
vernment to explore the North West Territory
from Iho Mississippi across the Rocky Moun
tains, down the Columbia river to the Pacific.
A correspondent of the North Arkansas, a pa
per published in llatesvillo, Arkansas, gives an
interesting narration of the fate of Capt. Geo.
Mr-rriweather Iewis, one of the persons em
ployed in the expedition, whos (ate has hither
to been shrouded in mystery. The writer of the
narration is at present a teacher in the Chero
kee nation, and assures the editor of the "Ar
kansas" that the facts set forth are substantially
true; tint he became acquainted with Mrs.
Grinder a person who is referred to in the
narration while stationed lor several months
in her neighborhood.
The w riter goes on to say that Lewis and
Clark, accompanied by from seventy to a hun
dred others, commenced their expedition about
the year 103 or l-'O-t. and completed it in a-
bout three years. They were men of great
enterprise, bravery and usefulness. He then
calls attention to Capt. Lew is, ami the question
is asked, where is he ! and he replies, his mor
tat remains are deposited in the south west cor
ner of Maury county. Tennessee, near Grinder's
old Stand, on the Natchez trace, where Law
rence, Maury and Nickman counties corner to
gether. When I visited ttie grave, says the writer, in
ISH, I could scarcely distinguish it from the
common ground, it being grown over with
shrubbery of different kinds and no stone, no
palings, no monument to tell whose grave it
w as. Grinder's old stand had long been con
sumed to ashes, and there was no house within
several miles. The old field was grown up
w ith bushes and briars, and it was lately a
dreary, soliiBry looking place.
There is something very mysterious connect
ed with the d. iith of Capt. Lewis, which in all
robiibiliy will never he developed until "the
'cad, sn all and great shall stand before God."
lie gives the following particulais as he re
ceivnllhem from Mrs. Grinder, the lady at
whose house lie terminal?!! his mortal career
She said that Mr. Lew is was on his way to the
city of Washington, accompanied by a Mr.
Pvrna and a seivant belonging to Major Nee-
One ( veiling, a little befjre Sundown, Mr.
Lew is called at her house and asked for lodg
ings. Mr. Grinder not being at home, she hesi-
tated to take him in. Mr. Lewis informed her
that two other men would be along presently,
who also wished to spend the night st her
house, ami as they were all civil men, he did
rot think there would be any impropriety in
her o-viiig litem accommodations for the night.
Acer i.tingly sue consented to let them stay
Mr. L w is dismounted, fastened his horse, took
a seat by the side of Ihe house, and appeared
qmle sociable. In a few minutes Mr. Fyrna
ami the servant rode up, and seeing Mr. Lew is,

called for lodging. Mr. Lewis immediately
drew a brace of pistols, stepped towards them
and challenged them to fight a duel. They not

per, however, was ready in a few minutes. Mr,

and sit as if in a deep study, and feeveral times
exclaimed, -If they do prove anything on me,
lin y will have to do it better." Supper being
over, an. I Mrs. tinm'er seeing that Mr. Lewis
wis menially deranged, requested Mr. 1'yrna
to get his pistols from him. Mr. 1. replied,

The very sensible remark of Ibis poor negro

were old and tattered, but not the same he had
on the evening before and though Mr. P. hud
said that Iwis had no ammunition, Mrs. G.
found several Ulls, and a considerable quantity
of powder scattered over the floor of the room
occupied by Lewis ; also, a canister with se

to the house, lie opened his shirt bosom and said
to Mrs. G. "Pear, madam, look at my wounds.

'If I had njt done it, somebody else would."

"Our nearest neighbor was Squire Pelcg;
Sandford ; well, the old Squire, and all his fa
mily was all of them the most aw ful passinate
folks thai ever lived, when they chose, and then
they could keep their temper and be as cool as
cucumbers. One night, old Peleg, as he was
called, told his son Gucom, a boy of fourteen.
jears old, to go and bring in a backlog, fur the
Are. A backlog, you know, Squire, in a wood
fire, is always tha biggest stick you can find or
m . 1 & I : A
carry. It lanes a flout junK oi a ooy io mi one.
"Well as soon as Gucom poos to fetch the
og, the oh! Squire drags forward the coals, and
fixes the fire so as to leave a bed for it, and
stand by ready to lift it into its place. Present
ly in comes Gucom with a liitle cat stick, no "
bigger than his leg, and throws it on. Lncla
Peleg got so mad, he never said a word, but
just seized his ridin' whip, snd gave him a' most
an awful wliippin.' He tanned his hide proper
ly for him you may depend. 'Now, go, sir, and
bring in a proper backlog.'
"Gooutn was clear grit as well as the old man,
for he was chip of the old block, and no mis
lake ; o out he goes without so much as sayin
a wo'd, but instead of gom'totlm wood pile, he
walks off altogether, and siaid away eight
years, till he was one-and-tweiity, and his own
master. Well, as soon as he w as a man grown,
and lawfully on his own hook, he took it into
his head one day he'd go home and see his old
father and mother agin, and show them he w as
alive and kickiu', for they didn't know w hether
he was dead or not, never haviti' heard of or
from him one blessed word all that time. When
he arrived at the old house, daylight was down
and the lights lit, snd as he passed the kecpin'
room winder, he looked in, and there was old
Squire sittin' in the same chair he was eight
years afore, when he ordered the backlog, and
gave him such an numercil'ul whippui'. So
what does Gocuni do, but btops at the wood pile,
and picks up a most hagacoous log, (for he
grow'd to be a' most thunderin' big feller then,)
and openin' the door he marches in and lays it
down on the hearth, and then lonkin' up ssis he
" 'Father, I've brought you in that back
log. "Uncle Peleg was struck up all of a heap ;
he couldn't be'ieve his eyes, that that great six
footer was the boy he had cow-hided, and he
couldn't believe his ears when be heard him call

heard some p. rsoti at the door ol lhe nann where
she lay. She inquired, "Who is there !" Mr.
