Previous to the last election of President, the led

ol Jackson as the most unfit Of all the candidates
for that important station and gave his reasons
He has since discovered that the General ought to

that decent respect for own character and for

We have been blamed for publishing at disTeren,

Stage .accident 1.-THE United States Mail Coach
was swept away on Thursday night last, in attempt
ing to cross Big Elk Greek, near this place. The
heavy rains during the preceding day had swollen
the stream to an unusual height, and the force Of
the current carried the Coach and Horses down the
stream, about half mile The Mail Guard seized
The log which is over the creek lew yard. below
the fofdng place, and hung BY ii, until he
iy exhausted and ready 10 sink in The walcr, when
he was rescued by the mail driver who had been
swept further down, and narrowly escaped By CATCH
ing bush.
The alarm was given in Elkton, and many Of the
citizens ran to the creek in search OF the Coach and
Hotses which they found Judged against the bridge,
at Col. Sswsl's Mill one Of the horses was still
alive, but in such a situation that he could not be
saved.
The Way Mail vas recovered At the bridge, but
lust as the citizens were attempting to reach the
large mail bags the coach gave crash, and passed
under The bridge down the river, and was not found
until yesterday morning.-The mail bags were
chained in the bottom Of the stage, and could not
be recovered until about ten O'Clock, yesterday
morning, when they we're brought to The Post Office,
in this place and the letters are now drying Under
the care Of Col. A. Whann, Post Master, and viii
be forwarded to the General Post Office, as soon
it is thought safe to pack them up The letters.
We believe, by the care OF Col Whsnn. will be all
saved, but the newspapers and pamphlets vent &c
pieces in the water, and are chiefly lost.
Messrs. Stockton K Stokes, proprieors Of the
Stage Coach have sustained loss, it is supposed
OF $1,000.
1t i. fortunate lha, there we're no passengers in
the Coach at the time, as in all probability they
would have been drowned.
Much praise i. due to our Townsmen. for their
exertions in recovering the maiI-they al no tine

that wine has drowned greater number of men

Which since has overwhelmed and drown'd
Far greater numbers on dry ground,
Ofwretched morals; one by one,
Than all the lood before had done.

THE TIME FOR WRITING.

Night is the best time for study, but
morning is the best time for committing
the fruits Of our studies to paper. In
the early dawn, while the sluggard yet
turns upon his bed, and yawns for a,o-
ther nap, the industrious student, or au-
thor, should be up, with pen in hand,
and committing his thoughts to paper,
for his own future use, if mol for the
press, and for the good of mankind. 1t
is IN the morning, if ever, that we find
ourselves fitted for the labour Of compo-
silion. The stiffness of the season-the
general calm serenity and salu5rly of
the atmosphere-the renovated vigour
of our physical, and the cheerful state
of our intellectual powers--all combine
to promote the flow Of our ideas, and IA
cilitate their correct and vivid expression.
Our spirits seem TO rise with the sun,
and our Imagination to soar with the ca
gle, who wings his fight with that bril-
liant orb. The pcrplexites of the day,
the various calls TO which we are sub
ject, according to the nature of our oc-
cupations, have not come upon us; and
we are left to those calm reflections, and
delightful reveries, which improve the
judgment, exalt the imagination, and
meliorate the heart When we hear the
birds begin to sing, or perceive the first
ray Of light through the lattice, then is
the time to rise; then is the time to sit
down TO the labors of the desk. The
rising luminary of day reminds us of the
grea: lumnary of the universe, and
conveys our thoughts to him as the
source of all light, of all wisdom. In
such state OF mind, under such be-
nign influences, our genius is quicken
ed, our judgment is strengthened, our hui
man affections are expanded, and our
labours cannot fail to benefit ourselves,
if they do not rebound to the good ol
our country, and of mankind. Rise,
then, with the lark, and anticipate the
sun, if you wish to enjoy health of body
and elasticity of mind, and to combine
these in laborious and useful efforts to
promote human happiness and prospect.

Extract of a Letter from a Young Ladu

Extract ofa Letter from Young Lady.
Ii young lady cannot bear reproof
without sullenness, and disappointment
without repiniDg, what are we to expect
of her when placed at the head oil fam
lily, to guide and direct its concarns p
Truly the education Of too many females
Of the present day seems dramatically
opposite TO all that advances the hap
pIness Of domestic life. To attract the
admiration and shine abroad, appears to
be the principal object, as though they
were destined for 10 higher purpose
like the ephemeral fly, they futter awhile
and are seen no more. What a lamen-
table circumstance, that the admirable
picture drawn by Solomon, should not
have been more frequently initiated. All
the relinements which wealth and luxury
have introduced since the foundation of
society, will never have power to do
away the influence of those domestic
virtues which the inspired penman has
so beautifully delineated in the last chap
ter of Proverbs. One reason why the
domestic virtues arc SO much neglected,
is the love of show and external parade
When once love Questionable pleasure
steals upon the affections, it is in VAIN
to look for the growth of those virtues
which require keeping at home. Fash
ion dethrones judgment, and lays her
empire in the dust. When once the
affections begin to entwine around the
idol, the soul is fascinated with kind
fenchantment, which it seems impossi-
BILE to resist, until it becomes prey to
the most violent passions; which like
garden grown up with weeds, presents
most gloomy prospect for future day.
