WHAT apicture is presented in The public
papers OF the piracies OF the people, and the
connlvance Of the government of Cuba They
have ships Of war they have troops enough,
10 repress these acts, and yet they will not
Can this be true ? have they the means and
will not exert them But if we may believe
the last accounts from the island, they are
about to wipe off this stain. An expedition
is said 10 be preparing against the pirates.
They are about attempting, al least TO roo;
them out. Ii they should fail in reality for
want ofmeans, we would second them with our
own means. Sooner than these " enemies of
the human race" should thus go on 10 murder
and rob our citizens, we would propose 10
add our exertions to those of Cuba. We
would offer the use OF our armed vessels iI
them with marines, aud cut up the pirates by
land as well as by sea. But If The Governor
! of Havana would neither use bis own resoar-
ces, nor avail himself Of ours if he will still
permit the Garcas of Havana, and the free
| hooters OF Cape Antonio TO prey upon our
commerce if be will neither fs out any ex-
petition, or only such one as is intended to
deceive US, il is then time for us TO use a
stronger language to his court and to himself
Tnat our government will be found 10y
The Presidents message of next December,
TO have demonstrated against these abuses, we
have no sort of doubt. To this cause we
would ascrbe the visits Of some ofour vessels
aud the expedition, Tor the rumor of ill.,
which is fitting out a, the Havana. We know
that remonsrsoce has gone 10 Porto RICO,
The next most dangerous haunt of the pirates
10 the West Indies and that this remons,rance
has been followed by fair promises at least.
What has been done by our government at
Porto Rico, has, we have no doubt, been also
attempted at Cuba

Extract Of a Letter from Ch;licothe, dated
Sent 25 1929

Extract Of a Letter from Ch;licothe, dated
Sept 90. 1922,
AS we passed through the country from
Dayton to GAINESVILLE, il is impossible 10 de-
scribe the havoc and destruction made by
tue grey and black squirrels. Whole fields
oil corn, from s to 10 acres, are said TO be
wholly destroyed-not an ear left. During a
! squirrel hunt OF about week in the neigbbor-
irg towns about Columbus. the FIRST part of this
month, nearly 10000 were killed The ex.
act number, think, was 1886. Hundreds
were seen every day swimming the Great Mi
ami, Mad River. Scioto, and other streams.
Children from 6 TO 10 years of age would
wade into The shallow water before the SOUR
refs reached The shore, and kill them with
sticks. Many Of them are fat, and fine eating
many families almost live upon them. We
saw many little boys, and some men, with
from ten to Thirsty or forty on their backs.
! They seem 10 be almost as destructive as the
locust formerly were in Egypt. They have
never before been known 50 numerous in this
section Of The country. IL is supposed they
swim to find mast,* as the nuts are scarce in
this quarter, and then attack the cornfieIds
They will probably occasion a scarcity in
many places. However corn and oats, thro'
most Of the country where we have travelled,
is only ~ cents per bushel. and wheat by
the quantity from 20 TO 81 cents per bushel :;
butter and cheese from 10 10 cents per Id. !;
produce generally in the same proportion.
The season has been good in this and
through The western country, as far as | have
heard, for most kinds Of produce. But in
some parts of Pennsy lrania, Virginia, and
Maryland. almost every thing is cut off and
destroyed 10y the drought. | may with truth
say, that thousands of cattle,t driven from
Ohio, few weeks past, intended for the Phil
adelphia and Baltimore markets, and perhaps
some others, have been returned. back, for
the purpose OF keeping here through the win
ter--as il is utterly impossible to procure sub
sistence TO keep them slive-some of them
200 or 800 in drove.
The season is said n have been more sick.
y than common in many parts of the western
country. with bilious fevers, sgues, dysentary.
Cholera norbus, and other complaints. But
since The cool months commenced, lis ravages
have IN measure been checked.
