menced, and the whole OF the range OF the
comfortable lodgings of,he officers. Lieu.
tenants L'ENGLE and GRlFF.TH lost all
their cloth ng, &c. 1t was was owing to
the extreme exertions OF the officers and

barracks. &c. of the soldiers were saved
from the direction of the wind, the plat
form of the fort was not exposed to much
danger.
The pow der (eight barrels) was remo-
we'd from the magazine during the fire.
The fire must have originated from
some sparks penetrating through the CHIN
ney of the kitchen. which was cracked in
the late gale. IT is proper to remark, that
there is not a fire engine upon the Island.

EDUCATION.
"Quo semrel est imbuta receEs,
Seryabit odorem tesla diu."

The analogy between the natural and
moral world is evident to the most super
fetal observer, Hence the,moralist addu-
ces natural causes and effects as arguments
in support of morality. No smile, per-
haps, has ever been used, more apt than
our motto, tolllustrate the importance of
early education. This needs little illus.
tration. 1t is equally. obvious to the I'M
enlightened and the civilized; to the
savage and the philosopher. Both an
clients and moderns concur in this grand
truth
"That Education forms the tender mind
Just as the twig is bent, the trees inclin'd."
Among the former, the education of youth
was thought worthy OF the public coacern;

the house of friend near the western ex-

go 10 wood not far distant, from whence
the sounds appeared to come. The means
became less frequent and more faint as
they proceeded Upon reaching the spot,
they found fine mich COW lying upon her

of recent struggle, and tsro large dogs, OF

shocking manner-in short, devOuring the
poor animal alive The dogs as soon as
alarmed made thier escape, while the cow
was raised from the ground in state OF
more dead than otherwise. we have ire

PROSPECTS OF THE FARMERS.

FhOSfEC - OF lF1C L ANN Laos
The crops of cotton and corn, in this
part oil the state, are said to be uDcorn-
monty fine Cotton commenced opening
earlier than has been known for several
years. Some Of the planters have AREA
dy made good work at gathering in. The
last news from Liverpool, state that the
sales of cotton had become more lively
than Tor some time previous We fear,
however. that permanent decline has ia
ken place in the prices OF this great staple
OF our country. The vast stock on hand
in the European markets, and ia our own
sea port town, and the increase, extent and
promise Of the present crops, must keep
cotton down at least as low as the present
prices. II the present crop could be sold
at reasonable prices, even at what the mar
ket opened with the last season, it would
60 far towards relieving the embarrass-
ments Of our part of the country. But Il
the farmers only obtain half prices for their
surplus produce, and the sheriffs, consta-
bles, lawyers, usurers, money lenders, and
note shavers, continue as flush in business
as they have been for some time past, we
fear the people OF North Carolina may yet
be driven for reiiet TO like expedients as
those adopted by Tennessee and Kentuc-
Ky.

CRUISE OF THE PORPo!SE.

The U. S. schooner Porpoise, James
Ramage, ESQ. commander, arrived yes
terday in this port. from long and inter-
es,iug cruise on the Coast of South Ameri-
ca.
The Porpoise, during her cruise, has
s~,ited st. Barts. ST. Thomas. Porto Cab
clio, Curacao, ST. Martha, Chagres. and
Havana. From reports. it appears that on
+ the Coast OF Colombia, our trade is res
pected by the Navalforces of that Repub.
lic-5ut on the contrary, the forces OF
Spain capture and condemn all vessels
that they meet with trading to or from
ports in possession OF the Patriots.
Porto Cabello is the only place that
now holds out against the Colombian fore
es; but If is more than probahfe, that ere
this, that has also surrendered.
The Government OF Colombia, in the
ports aforementioned, appear to be we'll
organized, and every disposition evlnced
TO favor the commerce of the u. States.
The markets for American produce and
manufactures, were very favorable.
We understand that the Porpoise has
brought sufficient evidence TO establish the
piratical character of the privateer brig
Panchita, alias Palmyra, now in this port.
