OHIO TRADITION.

As one Of the finest ships i'll our navy
bears the name of OHIO, It may be
gratifying to some of our gallant officers
to know the definition OF the word.
During my travels through that State a
few years since, / became acquainted
with some of its earliest settlers, men Of
good information, who gave me the fol-
lowing history or origin of the word
Ohio. This noble river, from which
the state derives its name, was formerly
settled on its banks by several. .warlike
tribes Of Indians, who were very nume-
rous, and almost always at variance with
each other; consequently, nearly all
their battles were fought in canoes on
the river; and owing to the: immense
slaughter SO repeatedly made, they gave
it the name OF Ohio, which signifies the
War river I; or. as some of the chiefs ex-
plain it, the Bloody river; apd others,
the stream of war;. This is the tradition
handed down by the Chiefs TO its FIRST
settlers, and is as given to me by them
and if correct, the Ohio bear, the only
warlike name of any state in the Union.

Metanehoy.-We learn from the Ca.
madam Argus, published at Niagara, in
Upper Canada. that General Jacksn's
FIGURE in suax has been seized and torn
to pieces ip the most shocking manner.
To justify this barbarous act, something
like trial was had, an account OF which
was published with the following head
ing:
"A/M and frue account Of rhe Trial
and Execution Of flthat notorious murder.
e,, commonly called GENERAL JACK
SON, alias The Hero OF New Orleans,
alias The Hero of Pensacola, alias OLD

Poor General Jackson has all your
glories come to this? Mary, it was well
for the loyal inhabitants. that Jackson did
not make his appearance in Propria per-
sons--they. would have scampered away
like Pockenham's troops before New
OrleaEs--it was only when the Generals

NEW. ORLEANS, MAY IL.
On Tuesday last, the Marshal of this
. district, accompanied by ayietachmeht of
troops, captured 53 nlrn belonging to an
expedition which has for some time past
been secretly organizing, in order to
make an irruption into the province OF
Texas. About six miles above the town
on this side of the river, they were dis
covered in boat, and Immediately be-
gan to make of towards the woods.
Fifty.three we're taken and brought to
town the same day. They were with
out arms. After hearing testimony, the
District Judge of the u. S. ordered the
proceedings OH the part OF the general
government to be discontinued against

4 Firc.--About 10 O'Clock on Sunday
night most alarming fire broke out in
Conde- street, in the kitchen of MIR
,Guinand's house. From the very first
there was little hope Of arresting its pro-
gress. The night was clear and the
wind unfortunately freshening. the flames
spread with devouring rspidity among
the dry wooden buildings. AT one time
we had hopes that the fire might have
stopped at the corner Of Dumaine and
Conde streets, but having crossed Conde
street, the Sale de Conde was soon in
flames, the FIRE having thence communi-
Gated to the workshops and storehouses
Of the Navy Yard, it extended with such
Irresistible fury, that it was apprehended
that it would sweep down the whole pile
Of buildings forming one side Of the pub
lie square. Fortunately, however, its
ravages were checked at this point, and
the wind having by this time luled again,
il subsidized astonishingly soon for con-
Hagration so fierce and extensive.
The sufferers by the fire arc Mr.. Gu
villier, Mr.. Guineud, DR. Dow, the
Corporation, the United States, and sew
eral individuals whose names we did not
ascertain. Five or six dwelling houses,
the Sale de Condo ball room, and the
stores and mechanics work shops attach
cd to the Navy Yard, have been con-
sumed. The less sustained we fear has
been great, though the amount is not yet
ascertained. The fire ragged for about
four hours. W.

The legislature have appointed a com.
mittee to consider the subject of main
tanning poor debtors, when in confne-
ment. With de!rreDce TO the wisdom
of Legislators, we beg leave to suggest
the expediency of passing law obfging
the creditor 10 pay the board OF the debt
or, whom he may think proper to rob of
his personal liberty, and that the price Of
the board be such, as to allow the pris.
oner wholesome and abundant food.
The law Of Louisiana fixes the price, in
similar cases, at 8 8 per week, payable
