.Ameracon Carpeting..

ACase, of some interest to American read
crs, was recently to be tried in Glasgow
An old English statute makes it penal to per-
suade any worlxmen, in any of the manulacto-
ries of Great Britain, to leave the kingdom;
or to export any of the machines or utensils
used in any mandatory. The object of the
statute evidently.is, to prevent foreign nations
from deriving. any advantage from the ma
chinery or the skill of British manufac-
turers. In the case alluded to, William
Lee is indicted for having persuaded James
Mitchell, carpet-weayer, TO leave the en-
ployment of Messrs. Thompsons, and go to the
United StaieS and also for having attempted
to send with him carpet-loom, invented by
the Thompsons, for weaving particular sort
of carpeting, composed of cotton warp and
wooilen welt. tits said in the English papers
that these carpets formerly had great sale an
the United States; that Mitchell, upon his ar
rival at New-York, about a, year since, in
structed John and Nicholas Haight, of that
city, how to make the same sort of Competing !;
that the Messrs. Haights Immediately obtain
cd patent, and thereby excluded the Glas-
cow carpets, stto the serious loss of Robert
Thompson & Son., and to the injury of the
trade and manufactures Of Great-Brtain."
We recollect, perfectly well, hearing, some
time since, of the invention. Of the Messrs
Haights, and that, six or eight months after the
date of their patent, there was an importation
Of similar oarpetng from England. Upon its
being advertised for sale, the Messrs Haishts
gave notice of its being an infringement Of their
patent right, and the sale was stopped. 1t is
now said, in the Nsao- York Journal, that the
date of their patent is nearly two months pre-
yous to the time when it is alleged in the En-
glish papers that Mitchell left Scotland and
thai the Glasgow Competing, importedsinc the

Ertract from the Report of the Req. "A.
Hoyt, Of theProgress Of the Schools i,s
the Cherokee Nation, under has super
irtendeace, dated, 6 Brainerd Cherokee
Nation, Oct. /, 1921.
" There are, belonging to the two
schools taught in this place, ninety-six
Cherokee children of both sexes, about
two-thirds males; all of whom are
boarded, and many of them are cloth
ed, at the expense of the mission. Many
promising children we have been obIig-
ed to reject, or put by, until those now, in
school should be prepared to go out and
make room for them; as we cannot ac-
oommodate and pro6tably teach more
than we have had. OF those who at
tended school last year, three have fin
ished their course and left the institu-
ton, and six others have left the school
who could read and write. Twenty-four
have entered the past year.
"At the local schools we board but
few scholars, not to exceed eight or ten
at each school, and at present not more
than four or five at Taloney. As some
of the scholars who board at home have
a'gfeat distance to walk, they are not
all constant attendants, and the number
OF those who attend at all is not so great
as when the schools first commenced
The average number attending the two
local,schools, the year past, has been
between forty and fifty. Publick wor-
ship is attended'at each Of these schools
on the Sabbath, at which numbers of the
parents, as wellas children, attend and
some have made a publick profession of
the Christian religion.
"Hhe children of the schools continue
to manifest an aptness to- learn, will
hngness to Iabour, and readiness to-
submit to all the rules of the school.
The Cherokees, we think, are fast adj
vancing towards civilized life. They
generally manifest an ardent desire for
literary and religious instruction"

Gen. Eoton,s Snuff Boz.

Our readers will recollectthat Snuff
Boz was once presented to Gen. Eaton
by the King Of Denmark, in testimony
of the high estimation in which his Maj
esty held this distinguished character
In the course of events this most valua-
bic token of regard Git cost nearly two
thousand dollars passed from the pos
session OF Gen. i, into other hands.
Several gentlemen in New Y ork, Bos-
ton and other places, made voluntary
subscription to redeem and restore it to
Gen. E. 3 family. The box was trans
mitted to Mrs. Eaton, at Brim6eld, a
few weeks since, accompanied by the
following letter, which we.are politely.
allowed to publish.
4 .Neac- York, Oct "a, 1921.
MADAM--It affords me great pleasure to
inform you, that by the liberality Of gentlemen
in this city, Boston, and elsewhere, the Snuff
Box presented by the King Of Denmark to your
patriotick and gallant husband, the late Gen.
WILLIAM EAToa,. has been purchased; and
have now the satisfaction, as their. agent, Of
restoring it to his highly-respected family.
sincerely regret that the beauty of this tribute
to the distinguished generosity. and benevo-
lence of Gen. Eaton should, since it left the
hands Of its original owner have become
somewhat dofaced. But its intrinsick value
can never be lessened in the eyes of those who
were SO nearly relateditO him; who knew the
Observation-Disclosures Of his disposition, and shared
SO largely in the warmth and tenderness of his
affections.
"That this memento of your deceased friend
may long be preserved in his family, is the sim
cere wish, Madam, of
Your most obedient servant,

hard times for that article; if we do our
duty, there are no people under heaven
can nndersell nc in that, as well as ma
ny other comforts of life, that have their
basis founded on the production of the
earth. Yes a distiller would do good
business here now, and sell spirits of
high proof, at twelve and half cents
per gallon, according to the plentiness of
corn, well knowing that the pot ale or
still Stop is worth as much, full out, as
the corn would be, to feed stock.
Every one may not know what advan-
tage there is to be obtained in mailing
Indian corn, both as to production and
favoD for the purpose of distillation-
there is no doubt when the corn is all
matted, but it exceeds all other grain

tolerable for that preferable beverage,

rience, as the faculties of corn malt
and deties any practical manufactures 10
show why the lees of wine, or the offals
of a sugar house, with the assistance Of
molasses can produce spirits ofan equal
quality with corn malt.

The late Lieutenant 7rihhe.

We understand that the sword which
the late gallant Lieut.. Trippe wrested
from the commander of Trlpolian 'es-
sci which he boarded, in the affair off Tri-
poll in 1904, has been received from one
of his friends, and deposited among the
trophies of the Navy Department.
Lieut.. Trippe, it will be remembered,
jumped on board the Tripolian, followed
by midshipman Jonathan Henley and
nine men, after which his gun boat fell
off, leaving him exposed to the attacks
Of ,hirty-six TripoIitans. "Though at
first, says the historian, /" the victory
seemed doubtful, yet in few minutes
the Tripolitans were subdued. Four
teen of them were killed and twenty-five
taken prisoners, seven of the latter Sc
verely wounded. Lieut., Trippe receiv-
ed eleven sabre wounds, some of them
dangerous. The blade of his sword
bending, he closed with his antagonist
and both fell. In the struggle, Lieut.,
Trippc wrested the sword from him, and
stabbed him to the heart -
1t is gratifying to know, that this me-
mortal of one of the most gallant actions
and gallant spirits Of our early little ma
Wy, is placed where we hope it will long
be preserved. Nat. Int.

pect of Friends settlement at place
called Diamond Grove, about S miles
below the Sangamo river, and 10 or IL
from the Illinois,: An enterprising
member of that society, of the name of
Wilson, from the state of Newt ersey,
has gone there with his family, and ex-
poets number of others from the same
place, shortly, to join him.
This part of the country appears to be
remarkably healthy: those particularly,
who have settled little distance from
the water courses, and in the open plains,
are but very little troubled with diseases.
There are no ponds of stagnated water,
no marshes, where poisonous efhuvia is
engendered, to produce agues, intermit-
tents and bilious disorders, especially
in the highlands and somewhat remote
from the rivers, as before mentioned.
| As is the case in all level countries,
good springs are rather scarce, and even
the creeks are many Of them, apt to fail
| in dry seasons but in many places there
are excellent springs and the best water
may be obtained there in almost any
place, by digging from 8 to 90 feet: in
general plenty may be had, for the
supply of man and beast, at the distance
of 10 or q feet from the surface. And
some of the streams have never been
known to be so low as to be insufficient
for mills.
The Illinois river, and indeed most Of
the smaller streams, are stored with an
abundance of excellent fish, of various
kinds, aid in some places, wild foul are
very numerous game IS, also tolerably
plenty, particularly deer, turkeys, prairie
! hens, sc.
Domestic and foreign merchandise
may be had at St. Louis, at prices very
little higher than the same kind of arti-
cles sell for at Cincinnati and Louisville,
groceries may sometimes be purchased
cheaper there, than they can be at those
places.
Upon the whole, there is not, perhaps
any portion oflhe western country (Which
is yet in a state of nature, or but partially
settled) that holds out SO many induce-
| ments to emigrants. at present, as that
under consideration, especially to those
who wish to turn their attention to farm
ing and stock raising the land may be
so easily titled and is SO exceedingly
fertile, that immense quantities of grain
or grass may be produced with COM
| paratively little labour, and cattle, hogs,
sheep &c. can be raised with far less
trouble and expense than in Ohio or In
iianna and as ! have shown IN the pre-
ceding, whenever there may be good
market at New-Orleans, the people ip
this part Of the country will have the adj
vantage of it.
