D1oIasses from W1eat.--A statement
is published, supported by sufficient evil
dence, of successful experiments in She
nandoah county, Virginia, of this manu-
facture five gallons have been produced
from two bushels, and six, it is said,
might have been produced with more
care equal in quality to the imported.
The following is the process -" The
grain is ground and mashed, as if for
distilling---as soon as the mash arrives
at the highest state of saccharine fer
mentation, it is strained, and the beer Gas
it is called) boiled down to molasses.
The discovery is patented; the price of
family right is five dollars, and fifty
dollars to those who manufacture for
sale.
Fever at Charlottesville new case
was reported on the 3lst August, but
there we're seven reported on the I'd
September.
The fever in Boston has subsidized
The authority of that town has restricted
the intercourse with Baltimore.
Fever in .Nszv- York.-The board of
health Of that city, reported, on the 5th
ult. two fatal cases of yellow fever (Which
carried off two brothers) and recon-
mcnded a removal of the people from
the vicinity of Old Slip. No new cases
on the 9TH.
The Mississippi Republican of the
9TH ult. states that the yellow fever had
made its appearance in Natchez. Thir-
teen persons died from the 3oth August
to the 9TH September. The citizens of
the place had generally moved into the
country.
The fever continued to rage at Balti-
more on the 10th ult. seven new cases
having beenreported for the last twenty
four hours.
We learn from capt. Scoyen, says the
New-York Post, that gen. M'Gregor was
at Aux Cages, on the 18th July, and that
few days before he sailed a British schr.
arrived there from England, with 5000
stande arms for him: he likewise states,
that 500 men were expected daily, from
England and Holland, to join his stan
lard.
High handed Measure.-With the
deepest regret have we learnt that the
civil officers of the state of Ohio, agree
ably to the provisions of an act of the le-
gislature, but in contempt of the highest
judicial tribunal of the United States,
/. and in defiance Of the provisions of an
act of Congress, have entered the vaults
of the United States Branch Bank at
Chillicothe and taken thence the enor.
nous sum required, as tax, OF that in
stitution. This measure we consider a
most unfortunate one. 1t is pronoun-
ced by some Ohiopapers to be a triumph
Of state sovereignty: but can 1t be a
matter of exultation to see the sovereign
ty of state contending against the sove-
regnty of the Union Can it afford sat
isfaction to patriotic mind to witness
the grossest contempt cast upon the su-
preme court of the United States, and
the strong arm of violence resorted to,
in order to drive out an institution con-
stituted and placed there under authority
of deliberate act of Congress We too
would ever wish to see the sovereignty
of the states triumph over all unlawful
attempts to resist it, but if there be a
difficulty between the concurrent sove-
reignties of the state and the nation, VIC
wish to see neither party triumph !: we
wish for an amicable adjustment, cor
rect and constitutional settlement of the
proper limits of each others rights and
powers. But we deprecate, in such
case, resort to force, and we yet hope
that the constituted authorities of the
state Of Ohio, sensible of the irnpropri-
ETY. of their course, will restore the mo-
ney they have thus obtained and submit
the subject to regular judicial decision.
