Gen Lafayette will enter Baltimore this day
Preparations for his reception in that city, It Is
said, are equal to those of Nex-fork and Phi'
ladelphia; he entered the latter on Tuesday the
9Sth ult. with an immense escort, his approach
to the parade ground was announced under a
salute of sixty gurs. He'commeneed, on foot,
the review of the numerous body of troops, ac-
companied by Gov. Shulze and VI ajor Gene raj
Cadwalader and their aids The number Of
troops paraded, as reported to the Inspector
General, was ten thousand. In line, two deep,
they extended two miles and half. The Phi.
Iadelphia papers state, that there could not have
been less than thirty thousand spect ors. We
perceive by the Fredercktown papers, that
three Light Companies marched from that place
on Monday last, to unite with their military bre-
thren Of Baltimore, in welcoming himto that city

BALTIMORE. SEPT. 81.
EXPLOSION On Saturday night
last about eight O'Clock, we regret to
state an awful explosion took place at
the new Powder Mills erected on
Gwynn's Falls by Mr.. JosErH JANIsoS.
The explosion took place in the princi-
pal building ofthe factory, amidst sever
al hundred pounds OF the combustible
materials, and was so violentin its effects
as 10 blow to atoms the house machine
ry, even to the foundations. We learn
that the workmen had suspended all op
erations, and closed the mill at sunset.
and were totally unaware of the explo-
sion until it had occurred, One of the
workmen had a very narrow escape from
the fragments Of the mill but providen-
TALLY no one sustained personal injury.
The report and shock were distinctly
heard and felt throughout the city, al
though the distance is about six miles.
Since the above paragraph was in
type. we learn that the amount of dam
age is about $4,000 and that it is be-
lieyed to be the work of an incendiary.

THE NATIONAL. ROAD.

This great work, (says the Winchester Re.
pubiican,) IS beginning To attract no small
degree of attention. tits contemplated that /;
will pass through this town, following the ge-
neral direction Of the present post road through
Stanton Lexington, Fncastle, &C. to Knox
vile, and thence to New Orleans. 1t is i'm.
possible 10 conjecture the immense advantages
which will flow to this part Of the country
A new start will be given to every thing. Pro.
perry will rise, and with it the produce of the
land. Grain will no longer rot upon our hands,
because we cannot get it to market, and the
whole valley, we anticipate, shall bud and
blossom as the rose.
The only step yet taken is to survey the
country. report will be made to the next
congress, and bill, aporopriating sum Of
money TO carry it into effect, viii no doubt
be introduced. But then comes the rub -
Washington has said, "For my own part, |
wish sincerely, that every door TO that coun
try 1.-THE west) may be set wide open, that the
commercial intercourse with it may be render
ed as free and easy as possible. This, i'll my
judgment, is the best, If not the only cement
that can bind those people to us for any length
of time-and we shall, think, be deficient
in foresight, if We neglect the means OF effect.
ing it."
In exact conformity with this parting advice
of the father of our country, is the policy Of
the present government; and with that policy
are the sentiments of Messrs. Adams, Clay,
Calhoun and jackson. IT either of these gem
temen shall be elected, no doubt the present
plans and policy of the government Will be
pursued BIT M Crawford mil PIT has ue.o
Nbon any bill going to curry into effect these
great and important Objects. The Richmond
Enquirer says:
1--WE have the strongest assurance that he IS
friendly to system of economy in the dis
bursement of our finances, and that he IS not
an afvocate for so Splendid scheme ofgnverp-
ment as We are told his opponents Will pursue.
He is not run mad about internal improvements,
sblankd roads, canals. Sc"
And again:
..Can you consent that the constitution shall
be infringed by approprrating the public money
to opening rolds and enais2"
1t is upon these grounds that Mr.. Crawford
is supported We do not misstate his sentl.
ments His friends boast of these opinions as
purely republican. 1t is for the people of the
valley to say, at the election on the first Mon
day IN November, whether their best interest:
are to be lost or not. and whether the prosper
ity, nav the existence Of the nation, is TO be
jeopardized; for it is impossible tor the natior
to exis, without roads TO connect the distan
and different interests together as it is for the
human system to be animate without the yeiI.

of recent date. 1t is hardly possible to
conceive of a state of feeling, in which
such language should be exultingly con

certain the strength of parties. In the
Senate we can count within two of two
thirds, whotA we know TO be Jud ge-brea
kers, and one in the House of Represen

than enough to make up two-thirds in
both Houses, whose sentiment are IN
known to us. 1t thus appears that o.
overwhelming maiorities, if not two-
thirds, of both Houses, are Judge break

A GOOD STORY.

Among the first settlers Of brunswick, Ne
was Daniel Malcolm, man Of undaunted
courage, and an inveterate enemy OF the
Indians, who gave him the name Surgur.
numby, j. e. very strong man. Early in
the spring he ventured alone into the for.
est for the purpose Of splitting rails from
the spruce, not apprehensive OF the re-
turn of the Indians so early in the season.
While engaged in his work, and having
opened log with small wedges about
half his length, he was surprised by In
dams, who crept up and secured MS mus
ket, standing by his side. sSurgurnumby,'
said the chief, 'now me got you; long
me want you; you long time speak In
dian, long time worry him me have got
you now, look up stream to Canada. -
'Weil,' said Malcolm, with true sang
froid, 'you have me but just help me
open his log before go! They all, FIVE
in number, agreed. Halcoim prepared
a large wooden wedge, carefully drove il,
took out his small wedges and told the
Indians 10 put in their fingers to the par
tally clefted wood, and help to pull il
open they did he then suddenly struck
out his blunt wedge and The elastic wood
instantly closed, fast on their fingers, and
he secured them.
