WINTER. thou daughter of the Storm
Hove thee when the day is Ger,
Spite Of the tempsst's outward roar;
Queen of the tranquil joys that weave
The charm around the sudden eve.
The thick'ning foot, steps thro' the gloom,
Telling of those We love come home;
The candles lit, the cheerful board,
The dear domestic group restor'd:
The fle that shows the looks ofgIee,
The infants standing at our knee;
The busy news, the sportive tongue.
The laugh that makes us still feel young
The health TO those we love, that now
Are far as ocean winds can blow;
The health TO those who with US grew;
And still stay with US tried and true;
The wife that makes life glide away,
One long and lovely marriage day.
The music comes, till round US creep
The infant Iist'oers half asleep;
And busy tongues are loud no more,
And, Winter. thy sweet eve is DER.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman

in Washington. dated Dec. 26.
"Our General Assembly are yet in

thorizing and requiring the surveyor

the entries made with him before the

pact.) for lands lying near the Ten
nessee river, in the course Of two years.
and to make out plats and certificates
of survey, as usual, so that grants can
be obtained 1oithout further difficulty
1t also requires general connection
OF their claims 10 be laid down and re-
corded, showing their interference with
the land. as laid off in townships dur
ing this year.
"The law makes it the duty of the
surveyor to procure chain carriers, &c.
and to proceed to the sork without a
waiting the special application of tie
claimants.
GA bill is before the House for the
surveying of the Treasury warrant
claims. entered before the law passed
reserving that country for the military
claimants. | fear the disposition to
adjourn may defeat its passage.
s. 1t may be we'll to notify our Vir-
ginia friends of this; perhaps it would
not be amiss to publish it in the Intel
ligencer, as there is much anxiety in
Virginia OIL the subject Of their militia

supposed that these measures taken to-
prevent the surveying these claims in

SMOKING OCCURRENCE.

On Thursday evening last, about o.
clock, the inhabitants Of this borough were
alarmed by the cry of fire which with a
sudden glare of light. aided by slight fall
of snow, created for few moments, sensa-
tions or terror and CONSERVATION, which may
very naturally be felt by people inhabit-
ing place so compactly and so combusti-
bly, built. The fire. we soon learnt, origi-
mated. at the village of Old Mill, about a
mile and a half distant, in an old dwelling
formerly occupied by Mr.. Darius Folsome,
deceased, and 10 which bis aged widow late
~ lived. and died in consequence of tit OF
apoplexy, which felled her in the fire. she
being the only tenant of the house. But a
most singular and appalling circumstance is,
that the very person who discovered Der in
her last distressing agonies, was the very
person who has now fallen victim Through
her own depraved and vicious progressively
TO the same destroying element. The WI

The savagas-nnt to forget the deceh.

we now inhabi', sparkling with the
spires Of our TEMPLES, decorated with
sumptuous and cOmmodionS edifces, en-.
Iivened b, the proud display of arcbl'
tectural magnifccnce. swarming with
population, and rxhiliratrd by all the
varied facinations Of female beauty, We
are not IT, forget that we owe all these
multiplied blessings to the ancestors OF
those solitary red men, whom we now
persecutc almost to the extinction OF
the race. If the question was PIT t"
some Sol"n, some Iaw-giver of The
woods to expound, whose presence he
dreaded the most-frnm whnm he had
the most cause Of apprehension, the
bears and panthers of the wilderness.
or from those who profess christianity.
and practice more DISCRIMINATING hos"
tiIity. what would be his answer9 He
would say, let our PROSTATE wigwams
reply-we were from infancy acqualnt-
ed with the full measure of brutal hos
tility-we might venture to attack the
wild beasts with our arrows-if over
powered in the contest, the great Spl
rit has endued us with strength and a
gility of limb to fly from his ravages
Our rude and untutored minds had breu
taught by experience to meet these en-
emies on more than equal terms. But
while We fondiy solaced ourselves, that
our venerable woods were doomed for
ever to shade our native wigwams,
willie we fondly cherished the hope,
that, we should hunt on our mountains
for sustenance. in an eriI hour the 1chite
man came. We found him poor, ia
mished and defenccless-h implored
for mercy--he told US Of the persecu-
tons that he had suffered for his wor-
ship of the Great Spirit beyond the
great waters-he claimed merely the
rights of hospitalty-we lent fasora-
Bile ear to his entrcaties. He was che
rislsed i'm our wigwams--he was pro-
tected from the winter colds, and our
arrows provided him with subsistence.
Suddenly this white man grew to the
size ard dimensions OF giant he
tramplcd on the wiswam where re had
formerly fed. and it was crushed be-
meath his feet.
he welded in his hand the thunders
of heaven, and he launched the red
bolts against the sons of the wilderness.
We fled to the deepest recesscs of our
forests, and we found him there-we
sought shelter on the SUBMITS of our
loftiest mountains. and behold the white
man was there-we plunged into the
darkest carcrns of the earth, and there
we found the white man. Our wives
and children have vanished from his
presemcc-the tombs Ut our fathers
have been levelled with the earth, and
their bones are no longer to be found.
Death had been but the shadow OF the
whiteman. We tried to pacify his
wrath-to soothe his rcsentment-We
endeavored to propitiate the evil spirit
by concessions. but the more we gave.
the more he grasped. until we are M
longer capable of appeasing him by sa-
crifce. or resisting him by arms. Do
