GENERAL EATON.

GENERAL EATON.
1t is well known, that the United States
were indebted to the adventurous spirit,
undaunted bravery, and unexampled per
severance, of the late General William
Eaton, of Massachusetts, for the release
Of large number Of their sesmen who had
been captured, and were held in the most
cruel slavery, by the Tripoiitans. The

spirit, at the age Of AZ, leaving a young
and amiable family not only to mourn the
loss Of a parent, but oppressed with the
evils Of straitened and embarrassed circum.
stances. In the year 1900, when Gene.
raj Eaton was Consul for the United
States at Tunis, he was instrumental in
procuring the redemption Of six Danish
vessels that had been captured by thf
Tunissian corsairs, with their crews, aud
the latter held 10 bondage. The King O
Denmark, DESTROYS of mauifesting his re
spect and gratitude TO our country man
for the above act of Kindness and gene
rosity, transmitted TO him, 10 July Of the
following year, gold snuff box, ornameu

brilliantly set with diamonds. This hand

the sanctily ing influence Of that religion

chaste and energetic ;--his delivery,
warm and impressive. In the character
Of teacher, The modesty Of bis nature
was happily mingled with the confidence
which arose from his firm conviction OF
the awful importance of his theme. Com

whole soul seemed fraught with the sub

appeared wrapt, ike the Seer Of old. in

From the Baltimore Morning Chronicle.
A writer in the Kentucky ReporteE
proposes TO establish communication be.
tween the East Indies and the month
OF the river Columbia. He proposes 10
apply to the government, not for the loan
OF money, for that is not wanted, but 10
incorporate an American fur compa v.
with leave to form a port of entry al the
mouth OF the Columbia, and 10 establish
chain of posts, aud trading stations, from
thence to the upper navigabe waters Of
the Missouri. He asserts, that within
two years they would have this plan in
operation, and would begin a revolution
in commerce, aud would check the drain
of gold and silver in the United States. -
We may talk as much as We please of the
grandeur OF monarchies-of their vast and
comprehensive projects, but where shall
we find cue superior to this? We have
little doubt, that this plan will, at the en-
suing session Of congress, be laid before
that body for their appreciation. But an
important question may be asked, whether
this scheme, if sanctioned by congress,
will not bring us Immediately into coli
Iision with the Emperor Alexander. He
has already formed settlements. not faF
from the mouth of the river Columbia.
aud has established a chain of fortified.
tions, perhaps with the very view of ea-
crossing the American trade to the East
Indies, from that quarter. We do not
mention this suggestion in terrorem; at
present we have nothing to fear from Rus
sian hostility, and perhaps Alexander
himself would, on proper representation
Of the case, abandon his ambitious pro-
jecls, sooner than risk premature rup.

has lately made its appearance in London.
THE CONVICT.
RoBERT WILSON was market garden
Ter. Early 10 life he married deserving
young woman whom he loved with entire
Tenderness, and by whom he had several
children. No mau on earth could be
fonder of his little offspring than Wilson,
and they on the other hand, almost wor-
SHIPPED their father, taking delight in no.
thing so much as in doing what he wish
ed. Wilson was not very wise, nor was
he at all learned, but his heart which as
have said was all Of tenderness. told him
with unerring instinct that his children
would be governed more perfectly and
with more wholesome effect under the
domiaion Of love than under thai Of fear
and his was indeed y happy family. where
affection, pleasure, obedience, and faith,

This box was delivered by General
Eaton, during fit Of sickness, to cred
itor as security for debt, aud to prevent
the attachment Of other more necessary
articles Of furniture. AS The family could
not redeem it, it has since passed from
lone hand to another, either as an article

has consented to let fireman al this Of.

be made to accomplish bis object in a.
