~ prclualC" seems TO prevail IN the
United States against our Salt, in favor
Of that of ST. Ubcs, giving the latter a
decided preference under the impress
sion that it is much better than ours.
| his &rmerly was the case during the
PeniI elaFwar,& hen The demand was
So great thaubhe orders could not be
executed without some delay, AID rllh-
er tran wait masters of vessels took
whatever they could get at very high
priccs-consequently the greatest trash
was sent Them. But this is not now
the case, as we have the choice Of ia
king it coarse or fine, and it is quite at
our option to take or refuse if not of
good quality. Here il is measured on
board by the crew-at St. Ubes 1t IS
taken by the measure marked on the
boats, and you are obliged to take it as
it comes without choice Of quality
Our measure is much better, price
about the same, quality equally good,
despatch better, as vessels are obliged
TO wal; for spring tides at ST. Ubes-
and in fact owners would in general
find it Their interest to give the prefer
ence to this port. Another thing which
gives our port superiority is that YES
sells may always get some freight home
or charter to Brazil or elsewhere
| have lately been obliged to get yes
sells TO come around from St. Cbes for
freight and have procured full freights
for almost all the Am. vessels that have
arrived here this year and have still
freight for vessels merely waiting for
an opportunity to go forward YES
sells from the Northern ports Of Europe
might generally Obtain some frrights
for this port, such as hemp, canvas,
barly, beans, cheese, sc. as these arti-
cles always pay freight, which would
be better than 10 come 10 ST. Ubes in
ballast. In Coming from England,
cargo ofcoals of the low priced quality
would pay freight; as we now have
steam boats, the demand is increasing
daily.

We cannot better dispose of our spare CO
lumns, than by giving our leaders c'rcum-
stancia, and interesting account OF the New
York Canal Celebration. We sincerely con-
graduate the undaunted citizens OF thai pow
erful and Hourishing state, upon the happy
contamination of their bold enterprise; and
we envy them not the fame they have acquir-
ed, nor the just rewards of their great and
perseyering labor. We trust that other states,
20. already commenced, will emulate the
bright example; and We hope and believe,
that ere long, the inhabitants of this District
will be cheered by scene, if not as brilliant,
at least as important as that which IS about to
be described to our readers-Isec Postscript
The union between the Potomac and Ohio,
was decrced by the great "Father ofhis Coun,
try" and unless the People and the Govern
ment should prove faithless to themselves, the
bands must soon be celebrated.

tive manners, he would have been good man.
"Here | ann said he to himself, " like roe
buck when pursued by hunters, night-owl
perched on tree, while the other side of that
creek, over which have been swimming like dog,
all is pleasure and contentment. Oh wicked rum,
you have done tyes, it is that poison of the white
men that has lit the flame of vengeance my breast;
had it not been for it, my fists alone should have
challenged Norack. should not have brought up
on me the punishment of law, and Ben Pie
would be respected chief among his people. Oh
white men your powder and your fire arms have
never inflicted more woes upon us than your IL
quor!" He then thought he heard his pursuers in
the ravine, and, ascending the other side, he bent
his to the north along the summit of rocky
ridge. But his perturbed mind saw every where
his enemies, and more than once the screeching of
the owl, OF the bowling of some wild animal, was
mistaken by him for the terrible yell of Red Fox
and Crow. He soon, however, arrived at another
precipce more awful than the first, and having de-
scended into it, he recolected that he was in the
welknown hollow, on the north side of which was
the Indian path leading to the southwark, through
which the Mohawks were formerly i'll the habit of
going the seaboard to collect the tribute of dried
clans and wampum annually sold to those fierce
warriors by the poor fishing tribes, the principal of
which were the Manhattans and the Mohawks the
first being inhabitants of New York, and the other
of Long Island.
Ben had visited this place than once, either
as warrior, or hunter, and had not forgotten
that once in pursuing deer from salt lick on the
top of the hil the poor creature taking leap into
the cavity, fell dead at the bottom. He entered
that place with confidence, having no idea that he
could ever be discovered in dark and damp re-
cess, from which the rays Of the sun are excluded
by the thick foliage of innumerable hemlocks, ex-
tending their branches from the two embankments,
and forming perfect canopy its whole extent.
This cavity formed narrow passage fifty rods long,
and terminated by perpendicular precipice about
two hundred feet from which number Of calcare.
Gus rocks, ntegrated with beds of slate, frequently
detached themselves. With his usual daring, Ben
climbed to the middle of this precipice, and seated
by it's ooseness, convinced him that with little ex-
erton it could be hurled from its resting place. He
thought if bis enemies came from below, he could
ascend to the top, and by the Indian path go to the
southwark; or fthey came from above, he could de-
scend into the hollow, recross the Papskena, and
seek safety on the other side of the Hudson
The horrd deed which deprived our unhappy In
dian of the society of his friends of his family, and
nf the Measures he endowed in his nation.

BEN PIE, OR THE INDIAN MURDERER I:
CONCLUDED.

CONCLUDED
Red Fox and Crow departed Immediately through
the desert with such rapidity and ZEAL that the mo-
ment Ben had finished his narrative, they knocked
at the door of the room in which the Colonel his
frightened lady, and Ben, were sitting. They asked
for admission, and at the same time, they were
heard in low voice to command their dogs, who
smet the murderer to be still. Ben drew his knife,
and putting his back against the door, seemed de-
ermned to defend it to the last extremity but the
Colonel, more prudent than the man of the forest,
answered to the call of the two Indians that he
coming, and losing no time to save if possible the
life of one who once had saved his own, he took
the candle and placed it in the trembling hand of
his wife, and pointing to door on the east side of
the room, he told her to light Ben through the en-
try the eastern parour and to let him out by the
back window. His request being complied with,
he made sign to Ben to follow his wife, and as Ben
passed by him he grasped his hand and shook it
with the warmest gratitude. Ben being safe, the
Colonel opened the front door, where he found the
two Indians whom he had previously met in the
yard: they had with them two dogs, one resembling
wolf, and the other terrier. The Colonel asked
themin their own language what they wanted. They
said their dogs had chased Ben Pie to his door, and
they wanted to know if he could tell them where
he was TO which the Colonel replied that an In
dian came to his house a little while before, and
had asked for food, and after having obtained it,
left the house and had been seen by black man to
hide himself in the well. They Immediately went
to the well and began to throw down monstrous
stones, but to purpose they fell in the water
without meeting any obstruction, and being finally
convinced that no one was there they made for the
barn. On their way thither, their big dog, whose
name was Yacano, caught again the scent of Ben's
track
The chase commenced, but the stratagem of the
Colonel had given Ben a considerable start Of his
