lie i-Dli Oho'
Gentlemen-I have observed in your paper
for two or three days past, an advertisement by
P. Hawkes., who offers to the world work on
Geography, in which he has taken the City OF
Washington as centre from which he says all
other places are measured; Now sir, curiosity
has induced me to examine one Of the numbers
of his production, and l can most assuredly
say that I.never was more agreeably surprized,
than was when ] saw his arrangements
At once perceived, no; only useful book
for pupils, but an excellent assistant for mas
tiers Of schools, and valuable treasure for the
community at large In fact no one should be
without it. | find those calculations Of his
which approximate the East and West points,
are performed with that degree of exactness
and attention, unless he has tables superior to
any / ever saw,
AS a companion in the schools, ii will enable
the master to give greater variety Of prob
out the accuracy Of their results, thereby saw
ing time TO attend his other pupils
1t will also in most instances, show how far
he terrestrial globe is out OF adjustments
As for the Chart, think never met with any
thing that pleased me so much; 1t is circular,
and carries out its Radii Of Islands, Towns,
and Villages to all parts Of the globe, and any
principal port or place can be found by single
glance of the eye. A SUBSCRIBER.
The Cincirna,i Republican states that MIR.
CAMPBELL, one of the present Representatives
in Congress from the State of Ohio, who, 1t
will be recollected, has declined reelection,
has no idea of being candidate for Governor
of tina, State but, on the contrary, wishes to re-
tire from pubic life, in order TO pass some time
in retirement on his farm. We shall regret the
loss Of Mr. Campbell in Congress, where he
deseryedly enjoys a high reputation; not less
for his experience in the practice OF the House,
than for the calm aud clear Judgment which he
has usually evnced on all questions OF public or
| private interest.

Uesiruciirs U,rrieane - One Of tba
most Tremendous, awful aud destructive
hurricanes, Of which we have any re-
cord, passed through the country about
10 miles above here, in nearly an east
direction, on Friday evening, the so,h
inst The current Of wind was only A.
boot 100 yards in width. In its course
Il swept erery Thing from the ground.
such was its resistless fury, that the
s,urdiest oaks, and the heaviest rocks.
were torn from the earth, and blown OF
like feathers before an ordinary wind.
This is exiravigant language. we know;
but it's no moro so than the reality will
bear US out in using. The forest where
The hurricane passed, was krelied wi,h
ne ground presenting the appearance
OF meadow Of luxuriant grass, wiih'a
single swash moved through the centre
Of Il. Wherever il passed plantation,
Il totally annihilated every thing 10 ito
course. The greatest sufferer we hare
heard of, is Samrsi Jones, Esq. tlase
sheriff Of this county, The hurricane
unfortunately passed directly over the
mostvaluable imprnyem ents on his plane
taiion near the Yadkin river, shout a<
miles above this; and il left desolalion
and death in its wake. His large dwell
ling, the kitchens, smoke houses, negro
houses, and great number Of othsr
out-houses, with all their contents, were
entirely swept from the ground where
they stood, and blown of into thousands
OF atoms, and scattered over the country
for mica around. Two negroes were
killed, and another not expected to live.
Fortunately number OF negroes, ON
hearing the coming Of the wind, ran into
large barn, which was but little injured
the current OF wind passed east Of Il
On the northeast side Of the river, tho
hurricane in its course passed directly
over the farm OF Mr. Jacob Hoover;
swept away all his buildings, and every
thing in them; and killed bis daughter.
aged about - years We have not Lear
ned the whole extent Of the harricane.
To give some idea of the tremendi-
Gus force of the wind, we can state, ON
the best authority, that large timbers, 10
inches square, and so or so feet long,
were carried two and three miles: some
OF the wearing apparel, blown from Mr..
Jones' house, was found lodged 6 or
miles from there; knives and forks were
blown two and three miles, and some Of
them stuck fast in trees at that distance,
sc. sc. We could name hundreds Of
other instances, seemingly as improba-
BILE as the above. which are vouched for.
10 way that will not admit doubt a.
to their correctness.
1t lis almost impossible to estimate the
loss Mr.. Jones has suffered; it cannot b
less than $4,000.
