sow; the rocks closed in upon his flanks,
and there he stood, bidding defiance in
his own mountain hold.
'Just at the edge of- the precipice, and
as it seemed on the very brink of eterni
ty, the dogs were baying him furiously;
one rush of the stag would have sent then,
down into the chasm; and in their fury
they seemed wholly unconscious of their
danger. All drew in their breath and
shuddered at the fatal chance that seemed
momentarily to take place. "For Hea
ven's sake, Lightfoot, stay quietly behind
this knoll, whilst I creep in and finish him.
A moment's delay may be fatal, I must
make sure work, for if he is not killed
outright, deer, dogs, and all, will inevi
tably roll over the horrid precipice toge
ther. AI., my poor, gallant, Derig!''--
"May your hand be steady, and your aim
true, for my nerves are on the lack, and
yet I must own that it is the most magni
ficent sight I ever beheld; bayed by two
furious animals, and with death shot in
his fair body the noble.—the mighty hear
ted animal still bears up undaunted."
Tortoise listened not, waited lot for these
remarks, but crept round cannily, towards
the fatal spot, looking with extreme agi
tation at every motion of the dogs and
deer, still he dared not hurry, though the
moments were so precious.
'Of the two dogs that were at bay,
Derig was the most fierce and perseve
ring; the younger one had seen but little
sport. and waited at first upon the mo
tions of the older, nay, the better soldier;
but his spit it 'being at length thoroughly
roused, he fought at last fearlessly and in
dependently. Vt'henever the deer turn
ed his antlers aside to gore Thrill, Derig
seized the moment to fly at his throat, but
the motions of the hart was so rapid that
the hound was over compelled to draw
back, which retrogade motion brought him,
frequently to the verge of the precipice,
and it was probable, that as he always
frohted the enemy, he knew not, or, in the
heart of the combat had forgotten the dan•
ger of his situation.
'The stag at length, being maddened
with these vexatious attacks made a des
perate stab at Derig, and in avoiding it,
the poor dog at length loot footirm,----his
hind !egs passed over the 1«lge of the rock
and it now seemed impossible for hint to
recover himself.
:His life hung in tthe balance, and the
fatal scale appeared to preponderate. Still
his fore legs bore upon the ledge and he
scraped and strove with them to the ut
most, but, as he bad little or no support •
behind, be was in the position of a drown
ing man, who attempted to get into a boat,
and, being also, like him, exhausted, the
chances were considerably against him.
In struggling with his fore legs he appea
red to advance a little and then to slip
back again, gasping painfully in the exer
tions; at length he probably found some
alight bearing of the claws of his hind
feet, and to the inexpressible relict of
every one, he once more recovered his
footing and sprang forward at the deer as
rash and wrathful - as ever.
'Tortoise had at length gained the pro.
per spot,—the rifle was then raised,—but
when all hearts were beating high in sud
den and nervous expectation of a happy
issue, the dogs were unfortunately in such
a position that a shot could not be tired
from above without risk to one of them,
and the danger was fearful as ever.
'Three tinies was the aim thus taken
and abandoned. At length an opening;
the crack of the gun was heard faintly in
the din of the waterfall;—the ball passed
through the back of the d,er's head, and
down he dropped on the spot, without a
struggle."—Scrope.
The representation of this noble stag at
bay on the brink of the catered, with one
dog hanging to the rim of rock by its
forelegs, is certainly as good as anything
that Landseer ever gave us. We presume
he was the tyro Lightfoot of this day's
sports—he is a deacon of the craft now.
GENERAL SMITH, late Mayor of
Baltimore, died in the early part of last
week. Ile was a valuable and much es
teemed citizen. The municipal author
ities invited the President and heads of
Department to the funeral, which took
place on Thursday last. The Baltimore
American gives the following account of
the funeral procession. —IL Chronicle.
The procession left the dwelling of the
deceased in Exchange Place at the ap
pointed hour, and atoved up Gray to Bal
timore street, the cavalry in front follow
ed by the infantry regiments. In com
pliance with the invitations which had
been sent to them by the municipal au
thorities. the 'President of the U. States
and Heads of Departments at flashing
ton, His excellency the Governor of Mary
land, and other distinguished personages
were in attendance, the President riding
in an open barowche accompanied by his
Excellency Governor Grason, the Mayor
of the city, and the Hon. Mr. Forsyth,
Secretary of State of the United States.
A second barouch, followed in which were
seated the Hon Levi Woodbury, Secreta
ry of the Treasury of the United States,
the lion. J. R. Poinsett, Secretary of the
Navy, and the Hon. Felix Grundy, At
torney tienera. of the United States.
The hearse containing the body was
drawn by four white horses and flanked
on either side by mounted dragoons. It
was fol►owed by a long train of carriages
containing the Pall Bearers, the commit
tee of Arrangements of the City Council,
the Cincinnati Society, and others—Fol
lowing them were the City Guard of Baltic
more, without arms, lifter whom came the
Members of the City Council, the ()Dicers
of the Corporatioi, •the Judges of he ,
Courts and Members of the Bar, the Pro
fessors of the University of Maryland,
Officers of the Army and Navy, Officers
of the Customs, Members of Congress and
Members of the State Legislature, Con
suls and others.
On entering Baltimore street, the por
tion of the procession which had started
from the late residence of the deceased,
was joined by the Fire Department, dres
sed in the uniform of their respective com
panies, the line being swelled as it procee
ded west•vard, by the addition cf crowds
of private citizens. During the ceremo•
ides the bells of the churches were tolled,
minute guns were fired, and the flags of
the shipping in the harbour and on the
public edifices were displayed at half-mast
thoughout the day, as they had been the
day preceding.
A deep and heartfelt 'interest in the
mournful
in
seemed to pervadc all
classes in whose minds the name of the
venerable citizen, whose remains were
passing to the "cold and narrow house ap
pointed for all living," had been associa
ted with the advancement of the city du- 1
ring more than three fourths of a century.
DI-CONTENT IN ENGLAND.
The political situation of the country is
very unsettled and unsatisfactory at the
present time. The motion of Mr. Villers
for a repeal of the Corn Laws, has been
lost by so large a majority as to leave no
prospect whatsoever of the repeal of those
laws, either in the present year or during
the existance of the present Parliment at
all. The manufacturing and mercantile
.interests arc disappointed and discontent
ed at the prospect of a continuation of the
decline in British foreign commerce, as
'influenced so
. clearly by these most des
tructive laws—and, on the other hand,
the masses of the people in the manufac
turing districts are in a state of almost
open preparation for the commencement
of a civil war. What is termed the 'Peo
ples Charter,' is being signed in themanu
factoring districts by the people, of whom
about 1,200,000 have already signed this
document, and the total number of signa
tures is expected to be 2,000,000 before
the presentation of the petition to the
House of Commons by Kir Thomas
Atwood, on the Gth of May.—Petition
this document cannot be precisely said
to be, fur it purports to demand item
the House of Commons the rights of
universal sufierage, the vote by ballot and
the payment of wages to the members of
the Lower House. This petition will of
course be refused to be. even received by
the house or Commons, and this the lead

fully expect to be the result, and arc cal

ORIGIN OF COAL.
Although there are arguments of Some
force against the vegetable origin of coal,
those arguments vanish when the carboni
ferous strata is examined. Raving entered
among layers of roek, where that important
article is only found in any considerable
quantity, the mind is suddenly arrested
with the remains of vegetable production
as beds of coal ate approached. At least
three hundred species of fossel have been
discovered in coal regions, ferns, equicet
aces, aracarian, pines, contikra, cacti,
and lofty palms, crowded to *ether on the
very border of the coal. The cortical
portions of the plants is often carbonized
in sonic part of the wood has been changed
and in other instances a gradual passage
trout wood to coal is manifest. All these'
plants, wherever they are found among the
rocks, are the growth of warm latitudes;
so that a great and sudden change must
have taken place in all northern climates,
since their foliage covered the country
where they are now found. Provious to
the'great deluge, recorded by Moses in
Sacred History, the,earth hail doubtless
suffered many and great changes; and
perhaps from common causes, lakes, ba
sins, and estauries had from time to time
received successive layers of vegetable
matter, swept into them by. overwhelming
torrents. Perhaps a layer of woody mat
ter was succeed by a layer of sand, or
clay, which have produced these altera
tions that yet remain. In all this nothing
more has taken place, than is still going
forward upon the earth, and from the re
cent -discoveries of the conversation of
peat into coal, may still be advancing.—
l'he operation of causes now active upon
this plant; may be sufficient to account
for the collection of lignite so common in
all countries; but to our humble judge
ment, tre not so sufficient to explain all
the changes which have taken place. And
why need we seek to prove the formation
of coal, from the vast rafts of wood yearly
sinking in the embrosures of large rivers?
Was there not a deluge? where is the
geologist who has the hadihood to deny
that most certain of all geological facts?
Fourth of July in Palestine.
Rev. Mr. Paxton, of Kentucky, who
has just published an interesting work on
Palestine, gives the following sketch of the
celeuration of our National Birth Day
at Beyroot. We doubt if a more curious
one ever occurred :
The Fourth of July was duly celebra
ted at this place, so zealous is our counsol
for the honor of the country he represents.
Our 'star spanglen banner' was streaming
in the wind over his own dwelling, and the
flags of the different European powers who
have consul in this place were raised, as
a token of respect. We had previously
received a polite invitation to cline with
the consul and his lady, 'on the anniver
sary of the glorious Fourth.' While we
were enjoying a pleasant quiet repast
within, the jatissaries and servants were
making all the noise they could without,
by firing muskets from the tos of the
houses, and cracking squibs &c. V 4 e
were informed that preparations had been
made to play off a few fireworks from the
terrace of new house the consul was
was erecting, and were invited to go and
see them. A little after sunset we set
out for the place which was not far dis
tant, preceded by a i.assary, with his
silver-headed staff. Arrived at the spot,
to our surprise, we found a company of
two or three hundred collected.
ground floor of the building had been laid
and formed a fine open area, for the recep
tion of company; seats had been arrang
ed at one end for the accommodation of a
few European friends, and the more res
pectable of the natives.
The Janissaries, with others, were busy
in keeping up some bonfires of paper,
which sers el for the lime to illuminate the
scene, others were beating the drums, &
playing on the instrume nts used by the
Arabs on fcstive occasions. Presently
two of them, Moslemus, I think, com
menced a sort of a sword light or dance.
Each held in one hand a naked swot d,
and ins the other a thick huge
. shield of.
about a foot in diameter, which to ward
of the blows of his companion. They
kept tints with Cm ma Ste, and it was
interesting to see the rapidity of their mo
tions at times , 4. the dexterity which
would parry the trust of the other. ‘lihen
one couple were fatigued, another would
succeed. and sometimes three or four
would join in. Their Motions were gen
erally graceful, but frequently their ges
tures were ludicrous in the extreme. To
us it was a novel sight, and we could not
help thinking how strange it was to see
these Turks skipping and jumping thus;
and all for American Indeperideneet The
rockets and other works went oft in good
style, baskets with refreshments were
brought in and ice creams, cakes, and
teas were handed round to us. The com
pany then dispersed very qu etly to their
several homes.
AMERICAN SAILORS IN THE
ENGLISH NAVY.
It is a fact, well known to many of our
officers, that a large portion of the Seamen
in the English Navy, are now composed
of Americans; and this disposition to sail
under the liiitish Bag is more infectious
among our tars at present thou ever. As
a recent evidence of this, more than forty
of the crew, who were discharged from
the frigate United States in this port, have
since this, reshipped in Liverpool for the
British service. We cannot account for
this, except that the Admirality have offe
red the.greatest encouragement to sailors
entering their service. During the wars
of ti.e continent, when it became neces
sary to keep the whole navy of Great Bri
tian at sea, no means was left unspared,
to entrap sailors in the service, and every
temptation was thrown in their way, to
keep them quiet in their state of depend
ence. But the evil coasequences arising
from this system of coercion, have cau
sed a great change in the mode of treat
ment; salutary laws making it compulsory
upon captains of vessels to give liberty to
their men at stated periods, and doing
away with corporal punishment, except.
by trial • of drum head court nuu•tials
(technically called) and various others,
' have had a wonderful effect in dissipaing
the unpopularity of that service.
We are of the opinion too, without re
ference to the importance of many bene•
ficial laws, made for the encouragement of
seamen, that the English service holds out
much the most lucrative situation. In
our service, a seaman receives twelve.
dollars monthly wages, with no small
stores allowed; whereas, in the British
service, a seaman's wages are £2 10s,
with small stores, amounting to fourteen
or fifteen dollars per month, and clothes
furnished, at a touch less expense than in
ours. This differenc; is owing to the bill
for the payment of our seamen, having
passed Congress as far back as 1798, be
ing graduated by the standard of labor al
that time, and since this, though the value
of labor has so much increased, nothing,
has been done. It is to be hoped that this
government will take this subject into
consideration, and make some legislative
provision for the protection of a class of
men, who from their hardships and suffe
rings, are entitled to mores} mpathy than
any other persons in the world.—boslon

WHO IS GENERAL HARRISJN?
An editor "out South" inquires—. Who
is General Harrison? To this Solomon
embryo, we would briefly resrond, that if
he means the General Harrison who is
now a candidate for the Presidency, he
will find, by examining the history of his
country, that it is the same William Hen
ry Harrison who at the early age of nine
teen received a commission from "the
father of his country," proceeded to the
western wilds, and there received his
military education under one of Pennsyl
vania's most gallant suns, General Antho
ny Wayne; nobly sharing in the toils and
triumphs of that chivalric leader, in what
was then a howling wilderness, inhabited
by a race of fierce and hardy savages, de
termined to dispute ever: inch of ground
with the white man. It k the same NVil
liam Henry Harrison, whose calm, clear
voice was heard above the slits of battle
and the horrid yells of a savage toe, on
the field of Tippecanoe, urging the gal
lant sons of the West to steeds of risible
daring, and to certain victory. ft is the
'same William Henry Harrison, who alters
wards, with means which would now be
considered totally inadequate, foiled all
the attempts of Great Britian to retrain
possession of• a portion of our soil, drove
her well trained, well fed and well' paid
armies Irons our north-wester n bursters,
and finally captured the main body of
their threes beyond the American hoes.
In short, it is the same William floury
Harrison, who, in the language of the
historian, -'never lost a battle or sulfered
a defeat."
But this is not all. General Harrison
does not shine as the mere soldier only, or
his friends might greatly eir, as others
have most unthrtunately done betore•them,
in supporting him for the Presidency. A s
a civil officer his conduct is above all
praise. Go ask the hardy pioneers of the
West to whom, under Heaven, they are
most indebted for the many blessings and
privileges which they now enjoy, and they
will tell you. without a moments hesita
tion, to the late. Governor Harrison—
whose valor, prudence, honesty and inte
grity, at a time when the power delegated
to him was as absolute as that of the ezar
of Russia, led them rarely through times•
that indeed "tried men's souls," while not
a single charge of misconduct could be
brought against him. His history is iden •
tified with the history of a large portion of
our country; and in the councils of the
-nation, his voice has been heard advoca
ting the cause of the poor man, in endea
voring to prevent the wealthy speculator
from getting possession of the vast and
• fertile regions of the west, by bringing
forward, advocating, and having perfected
its Congress the pi esent excellent land
system of the Western States;by means.
of which the man with limited means, as
well as his more fortunate neighbor, may
secure for himself a home that he may
call his own.—Such is General Harrison.

We are requested to state that the Li

ly occupied b) Dr. Win. Swoope, now by
Dr. Win, Coryell; and that it will be open
Saturday week, from f to 4 o'clock P. M.
:rid every two weeks thereafter.
We are obliged for once to ask our rea
tiers to excuse us for not issuing a paper.
The cause was one far beyond our control.
Our paper maker has never failed to coin.
ply with our orders b fore, and on the very
day we expected to receive our paper, we
received a letter that he could not possi
bly be here before two weeks, consequent.
ly we were without paper; now we are
'again in hopes to inure on regularly. We
trust our patrons will excuse us.
Oh: don't.
A short time since, we made some re•
marks upon the kind of material used by
Governor Porter of which to make officers,
and we told the truth: for which, forsooth
we have a moral essay from that pink of
gentility and morality, the "Advocate."
We shall not attemp to reccrd who is the
writer, for there are so many Toms, Dicks, l
and Harrys, who make that the sewer,
through which they pour forth their filth,
and falsehood, that it would be useless.
We said drunkards, goinWers, rowdies
and Mims, were the choice spirits, who'
sought and oLtaitl preferment from the
present administration, and it is sober
truth (perhaps that is the reason why it is
not understood), and this is made the sub
ject of a moral homily, from that perfect
canker of duplicity and blackguardism.
[leis afraid we shal corrupt the families
and children, because we say drunkards
and thieves yock together!" would not
he make a beautiful guardian for chit]
dren, who needs a guardian himself? wet
cannot ima:ine what threw the thing into
such a stem,—we did not say all the
drunkards were appointed , although
most of them applied for office; and some
at them were growling like starved
hounds, when, for that time, : they were
told they must Luke the water.
He don't like to read such naughty
talk! it will corrupt his morals. "How
this road does swing about" aS the fellow
said when he had too much ballast in his
head, to keep on one side of it. "That's
a mistake in the printer," as a bystander
said in reply.
It dings dongs away at the old Ken
sington story. Poor thing, what a hard
blow it strikes. W e have often heard
said, that you might hurt a man's leg se
verely with a common tallow candle, with
out breaking it, if you would only strike
to one place. Hit him again bluejacket.
.'dew Constitution
Our readers should bear m mind that it
becomes the actual duty of the pm:ant
Legislature to enact laws to meet the re.
quirements of the new constitution. It
is their duty or they violate their oaths.
The members have all sworn to support
the constitution, and that instrument
declares the session of 1838-9 to be tho
first legislature under the new instru.
We purpose keeping a strict watch over
the movements of the Legislature; and at
the same time keep oar readers furnished
with the amended sections, that they may
judge themselves whether their servants
at Harrisburg are performing their duty
to the people or the party. If party feet=
` ins roil party prejudices are to be brought
Ito bear to effect the constitutional law of
our land, it is mach ter be regretted.
By way of showing. that such is the
intention, and openly avowed, we shall
introduce air article from the Harrisburg
Ke,ystone, the mouth piece of the present
administration. It speaks the spirit of
Loco Focoism and the agrarian notions
of the clique who surround and direct
Goy. Porter. They openly recommend.
the violation t f their oaths to their prti ,
sans—openly call upon them to prostitute
themselves to the Moloch of Party—and
we regret to say that there is danger that
they may fancy that they emulate a great
example and wilfully trample their oaths
under their feet. But we leave our read
ers to judge it we do not speak truely
hen see say, they openly call upon their
'loco torn compeers ta"sneer at the serifche
er of all hearts," and tell him they fear
no "answer at the great day."
We will first make an extinct from tho
ne v instrument, to show what the framers
of it intended when they passed it from
their hands 10 the people, and •ariat the
people meant when they declared that it
was good and that they in their soveasign
will pronuneed it to lie the law of the
land. The third section of the schodulo
is in these words.
Sec. 111. The clauses, sections, and arti
cles of the said constitution which remain
,unaltered shall continue to be construed And
have effect as if grad constitution had not
been amended.
here then is a declaratory law, , made'
by the convention which amended the'
constitution and ratified by the people
themselves, that every thing which was
unaltered should be in force and be con.
strued as it always had been. The cause
of this was obvious. The convention
was called to amend and not to &vile
'anew - the constituion, and for this cause
they wished that there should be no new
difficulties raised about such parts as re
mained unaltered. But we have not yet
shown how the Keystone recommends a
a violation of their oaths to the loco foe()
members. Read for yourselves.
AMENDED CONSTITUTInN.—ID our last
paper, we took occasion tot freestone sugges
tions relative to the enactment of laws to
ca rry the amendments to the constitution in
to effect. We stated a few brief reasons to
prove, that under the amendments, each
county of the State at the adoption of them
was, sad is entitled to one member of this
Ilotse of R‘presentatives. No provision in
the schedule can prevent this result—and if
they be so entitled, it is plainly the duty of
fete Legislature to provide, first of all things,
to give them the enjoytnent of this right.
Should the Senate refuse to concur in this
reasonable and just course, then the duty of
the House o/ Representatives is obvious,l"
IS'[ o LEAVE A LI, THINGS AS THEY
NOW STAND—PASS NO OT H ER
LAWS—AND Timmy THE RESPON
smut' v OF POSTPONING THE OP
ERATION OF A PART OF THE A•
MEN DMENTS UPON THE FEDERAL
PARTY. No great inconvenience can bo
suffered from the -resolution, not half su
much as will be suffered by five or six coun
ties of large territory, but "small population
