To the Editor fthe Baltimore Patriot
Mr. MuNRoE 1t is with real satisfaction
inform you that a number of our enterprsing
fellow citizens have il in contemplation to
make Rail Road from this City to York Ha-
ven, on the Susquehanna, by purchasing out
the York turnpike and turning the summer
roads, as they are called, on each side into a
Rail Road, over which the immense country
walered by this noble river, and its tributary
streams, would pour their numerous products
into Baltimore. OF all the schemes that has
ever yet been devised, TO bring wealth 10 our
city, this, in my humble opinion, taking all
circumstances into view, is decidedly the best,
because, hiis Road may be made ,ohie that 10 tbe

way, provided the turnpike can be bought al
reasonable price, (of shich it would be folly

V-NEw PAPER.-Stephen Simpson, Esq.
famed as the editor ofthc Columbian Observer,
has commenced the publication of newspa-

differently. aPplauds his talents, and pufIs his
paper! What consistency! This is all brought
about by reason of change in Major Noah's
political creed! Mr.. Simpson, is certainly a
man of handsome talents, and will beyond a
doubt, in connexion with John ii. Eaton, make
warm Jackson paper. But we will whisper

The Buffalo Emporium states that the long
celebrated chief Red Jacket has been dcposcd
by his brethren and associates in authority
DIR. Jimeson was present at the act Of deposit
ton, and has communicated for publication
the ls,;cua ge used on that occasion. The En-
porium adds, that dispositions of this kind have
before occurred; but that the instance is rare
in which a chief OF such eminent talents has
been prostrated.
Red Jacket has been for a long time ex-
tremely dissipated, and in every respect moral
ly worthless. He is about seventy years Of
age; yet he is remarkably active, retains his
mental powers, and to the last will no doubt
exert them, to prcscnt any amclioration of the
condition of his people, by introducing among
them the arts Of civilized ife."

a. During the thunder gust of last We'd
nesoay, the dwelling house situated on the
Donnison Estate, Cranston Road, was struck
with lightning, and considerably injured. 1t
made its attack upon the gable end, which is
Of brick, and destroyed some Of the windows,
and drove few Of the bricks through the ad-
joining room. The house is occupied by Mr.
Fitch, very worthy farmer and tcamster,
and we are sorry to add, that two or three of
of his children were severely burned, though
not dangerously. The house was protected
by two lightning rods, and was insured at the
Mutual Fire Insurance Office. The damage
though small, we understand is to be repaired
by the underwriters; but here the very nice
question arises, is lightning fre!" If it be
fire, then the Office is holden, but if il be not
fire, as some writer's have contendcd, then the
Office is not holden. The house was not I" fir
ed." by the lightning-and no injury could be
done by fire, unless it burned Hence, it may
be contended that the underwriters arc not
holden for loss Suppose for instance, that a
house, which was insured against loss by fire,
was prostrated by red hot shot, from an cne-
my's cannon, and not burned, could the as
sured, come in for loss, simply because the
building was destroyed by fre-that is by rcd
hot shot!

Greek Frigate Helias.-It is TO be hoped
that tho following unpleasant report will prove
incorrect. We copy it from the .New York
Gazette of Wednesday:
Captain Farnum Of tho brig Perseverance,
which arrived on Saturday from Gibraltar,
states chat a brig arrived there from Malta the
day before ho sailed, which reported that the
Greek frgate Hcllas had been captured by the
Turkish squadron. This, il true, will prove a
sad misfortune for the Grecks-one to be la
mcnted by every friend to that nation. The
report, however, wants confirmation. Il pives
no particulars, and seems to bo n vague asscr-
ton. We earnestly hope it will turn out to be
false.
This rumor is rendered the more incredible
and improbable by our late accounts via Liver
pool. As recently as the LIST Of August, it is
stated, the Hellas had captured a Turkish
vessel Of 36 guns and a gallot, and had passed
that place in safety with her prizes

NcNEw-YoRK JOURNAL or CoMMEEcT

WNEw-YoRK JOURNAL OF COMMERCE.
We have read the attempt at vindication,
made by the proprieiors Of the Ncw-York Jour
nal .. Commerce. and although we do not
conceive that il has disproved the ch.:..,,u uf
Major Noah, We certainly do think, that i sat
isfactorily explains the misunderstanding had
between itself and the Times There is, how
ever, something rather singular in the whole
affair, and, it appears to US, that the Journal
of Commerce, stands upon no very favorable
grounds with the public. At the onset, with
the hope Of gaining the good will of the world,
and securing its patronage, it avowed that it
would not advertise Lottery Tickets, or
give publicity to advertisements in relation to
Theatrical exhibitions, Sc. But finding that
the avowal did not take very well with the
multitude, it has at length declared, that it
will not toar against Theatres or Lotteries;
but on the contrary, will suffer both to go on,
to the hearts content Of the public. The
Journal Of Commerce is one of the largest
newspaper publications of the country, but
thus far, has proved far less interesting than
any other publication that is issued from the
New-York Press. 1t IL conducted by Mr..
William Maxwell, formerly Of Norfolk, Vir-
gnia, lawyer Of some repute, and an elegant
poet. Mr.. Maxwell, is a religious fanatic, a
good man at heart, but bis zeal often leads
him into difficulties. Some two or three
years ago, he published series of essays in
the Norfolk Beacon, tending to eradicate the
evil of negro slavery; and although his motives
were certainly pure and phanthropic, he got
himself into difficulty, and imprudently caused
no small disturbance among the negro slaves
OF that particular section Of the country.
In the Editorial department, Mr.. Maxwell is
assisted by Mr.. Halle. and between the two, a
tceakly daily paper is presented to the public.
Mr. Maxwell is abundantly capable of making
sn interesting paper, but it appears to us, he
Is exceedingly indolent, or constantly engaged
in secret prayer.

h.diaSs-ia ruris.-A number of 0sdSs In
dians are, or were lately in Paris, where they
excited much attention, and ranked among the
principal lions Of the day. Besides several
other public places, they visited the Theatre,
and were much pleased with the representation
Of Melo-Drama, particularly with the COM
bats On the stage; but while their attention
was principally devoted TO the actors, that Of
the numerous audience which their appearance
had been the means Of drawing together, was
almost exclusively fixed on them. After the
play, the Chief, or, as the French denominate
him, the Prince ofthe Osages. arose and in his
own language made what our critics would call
ga brief, but neat and appropriate address, "
TO the audience, thanking them for their kind
attention. The speech was Immediately rem
dered into French by an interpreter, and was
received with acclamations.

ur.Morgan .afair.-Thc Governor of New
York has by Proclamation, discharged Eli
Bruce, Sheriff of Niagara County, for having
violated :" his duties as a good citizen and
faithful officer in being concerned in the alb
duction Of William Morgan" The Proclama-
tion also says, it appears that at a recent
trial at Cunandaigna of certain persons charg-
ed with the said abduction, the said Eli Bruce
when called as witness, refused to testify on
several material points, on the ground of self
elimination; from all which, am persuaded
that he was a participant in the said abduc-
ton, and thereby has rendered himself unwor-
thy Of the official station which he at present
occupies" This is as it should be.

UIt has been stated. but we know not up
on what authority, that the offer of pubic en-
ployment, in the event Of the election of Gen.
eral Jackson to the presidency, has been made,
to a distinguished editor alta ched to one of the
papers Of tho city of New York, if he would
come out, and support the claims of General
Andrew Jackson. We further learn that the
offer was Indignantly rejected by the honest
minded editor, and that he who made il, will
at no distant day, together with the names of
his employers and vouchers be given to the
public. This affair, will probably cause as
much excitement, as did that between Mcssrs.
Jackson and Buchanan. We wait with some
impatience for the issue.
