ces ofour city, induced us yesterday to
examine bale OF NJ AryIdnd Calico,
which had just been finished at the
Warren factory, in the vicinity ofthe
city, and transmitted to the warehouse
IN Hanover street for the inspection
OF merchants and dealers These cali
lcoes are of the description generally
known as indigo blues, and are of va
rIous patterns. They are the first at.
tempt at manufacturing calicoes at
the Warren factory, where prepare.
tons have been for some time making
to carry on this branch of domestic
manufactures on an extended scale.
The specimens now exhibited, al.
though the cloth is of coarser texture
than that hereafter intended to be used.
have met the decided appreciation of
dealers and judges, and afforded the
best proof of the complete success
which will attend the future opc-
rations of the factory One fact
wor thy of particular mention, is, that
these goods, from the progress Of
the raw material, through the various
and distinct Operations of spinning,
weaving, and bleaching, dying and
printing. have been completed at the
Warren factory, ard we believe are
the first American calicoes which have
thus been finished, from first to last, at
one establishment 1t is circumstance
known to every one, that the excellent
quality and low price of the grey and
bleached American cotton goods have
caused them to be preferred, wherever
they are known. over similar goods
of any other country-and iflike eau.

card nothing in declaring the opinion
that in the due time the calicOes of our

The Indiana republican states that
on the 2lst inst. Dr. Shinn from Ili-
nois encamped upon the banks of the
dry fork of Indian Run, about ten
O'Clock it commenced raining, & when
DIR. Shinn awaked, he found the wa.
ter two feet deep round his wagon,
and before he could get his family
into the wagon, they were washed
away and drowned. 1t was with
much difficulty DR.. Shinn swan
to an adjoining mill and was saved
with the loss OF all his clothing and
money. His wife and child were
found short distance below where
they encamped. 1t is supposed the
river rose eight feet in ten minutes.
The Times This is the cucumber
season for news-congress has closed Its
session the hustle of the state legisla-
ture has ceased-the fourth Of July is
passed and even tine last of the song
of mourning over Byron's grave, is dy-
ing on our ears. Now is the time for
our authors, small and great, to come
cut with their works, while the reading
community have an abundance ofIeisure
to examine them. 1t is said, that in
Germany the literary harvest is the
greatest in the summer mon,hs-but,
as yet, the seasons of our mitd fowers
are not particularly marked in the Ca
lender The snow drop of the noun
tain, the daisy of the heath, and the
sweet briar of the pasture, are trodden
down or plucked without affection or
care-we have so long been charmed
with exotics, that our taste is not for ma
tive flowers which now "wastes its
sweetness on the desert air." will be
gathered and cherished in our gardains,
and those worth the culture, preserved.
Our mountains have, as yet, reared
their heads unsiung," and the ''blue ex-
panse of our lakes" mas not often been
viewed with poets eye--the grave man
of angles of lines, has just taken sur
vey of them, but no lover of nature has,
as yet, dwelt upon their beauties. Our
battle fields have been viewed with more
interest, and will probably be first to
call fourth the best talent of our coun-
try. By history of fiction, Saratoga
seems destined to become distinguished,
and at no distant period, will be as po-
etical in its sound, as Bannockburn or
FIodden Boston Go=.
