We learn, from u gentleman who
has just returned from a tour OF inspec-
ton, that the workmen on the Dele
ware and Chesapeake Canal are pro.
ceeding with great rapidiiy. During
the winter six hundred men were
kept at work. The tide lock at the
debouche into the Delaware stood
like adamant. Excavations have been
begun for the lock at the western ex-
tremity Of the canal; and the work
will, this sumrner,b be carried on, as i.
was during the last, on the whole line
of the canal. In 1927, the canal will!
be navigable; and in four years from
the date Of the commencement Of the
work, the stockholders will, in all
probability receive a dividend on their
Investments Phil. GAG.

Sarannah. fGeo.) March si.-A-
mong the visitors of Lafayette, yester-
day, was an old negro man now entire
ly blind, who was his servant during his
services in this country. and now be-
longs TO Mr.. M'Queen, near this city.
The old negro appeared overioyed at
the honour of the visit, but soon COM
menced recounting the actions in which
be had accompanied his master, and the
incidents which took place at that time.
They were listened to by La Fayette
with that afiability and kindness charac-
t%eristic of the individual, and the old
slave encouraged and his memory as
sisted by reminding him of other inci-
dents of the sane nature. Every ac-
ton of this truly good mans life, adds to
the respect and admiration Of the virtu-

Florida Lands.-The Pensacola
CIV. FL Gazette, OF Feb. 90, says,
that The Commissioners on Land
Claims In that District have made a
very long and elaborate report upon
the conflicting British and Spanish
Claims, in which they give il as their
decided opinion, that the British claims
have no validity under the laws of
Spain and of Nations, and that the
Spanish claims ought to be recognised
by the Government, of the United
States, in preference TO those emana-
ling from the British Government
This is Of much importance to Ae
numerous Spanish claimants whose
rights have been jeopardized by the
long forgotten and justly deprived
British Claimants.

two weeks past presented a singular
appearance--the water is so low that
the shore resembles that OF river imme-
diateIy connected with the ocean, at
neap tide-it is about 4 feet lower than
il was last autumn. This remarkable
fall in the waters ofour river, is caused,
we learn, by the accumulation Of vast
quantities Of ice in the river st. Clair
a northeast wind has prevailed for some
time past, which has driven the ice down

WHITNEY's COUGH PILLS.

HIlESE pills, which are composed most
II ly of vegetables, are not inferior TO any
thing vet discovered for coughs, colds,
asthmas and consumptions; and even in the
latter case, where a cure is not to be ex-
pected, they prove an excellent palliative
by expectoration, relieving pain and pro-
ducing sleep.
Numerous certificates of the virtues OF
these pills might easily be procured, but it
is confidently believed they are sufficiently
known TO render recourse TO such means
unnecessary, and where they are not known
we are well assured a trial of them will be
a more efiectual recommendation than a
host of certificates for using,
with the box.
Each box contains forty pills; price fifty
cents.
N. b. To prevent impositions each box
will be enclosed with label bearing an
impression of the good Samaritan, with the
following inscription,
"Uht .ey's Cough Pills."
and each bill OF directions will be signed by
the inventor.

The Landing cfhe Pilgrim Fathers.
The breaking waves dash'd high
On stern and rock bound coast,
And the woods against stormy sky,
Their giant branches toss'd;
And the heavy night hung dark
The hills aud waters o'cr,
When Band of Exiles moor d their bark
On the wild New England shore.
Not as the Conqhefor comes,
They, the truchearted, came;
Not with the roll Of the stirring drums,
And the trumpet that sings Of Fame:
Not as tho Flying come,
In silence and in fear
They shook the depths Of fthe deserts gloom,
With their hymns Of lofty cheer!
Amidst the stormthey sang;
And the stars heard and the sea!
And the sounding aisles ofthe dim woods rang
To the Anthems OF the Free
The ocean Eagle soar'd
From his most by the white waves foam,
And the rocking pines Of tho forest roar'd--
This was their welcome home!
There were men with hoary hair,
Amids. that Pilgrim band
Why had they come to wither there.
Away from their childhoods land,
There was woman's fearless eye,
Lit by her deep loves truth;
kncTc was UnduHOOu DfOW tercnely nlXnS
And tho fiery heart of youth.
What sought they thus afar'
Bright jewels ofthe miner
Vhe wealth ofseas, the spoils OF war;
They sought for Faiths pure shrine,

The soil where frat they trod!
