Tennessee To!cano.-We have just conversed
with gentleman directly from Kentucky, who
passed through Sumner County, and he says
that he was there informed by several, that il
was then ascer,aince 10 a certainty from whence
those Meteoric Stones which fell in Summer
county, on the 9th of May, came, viz:
A volcano has broken out in Sumner coun-
", between Galiatin and the Kentucky line. 1t
is said that the explosion was seen by negro,
who represents it as stream ofhrc, OF consider
able extent, rushing from the earth as high as a
tree. The marks are yet visible TO all who call.
The earth or the knob is considerably torn up,
and the trees adjacent are scorched and burnt
10 the tops; but there is no fre or smoke issu-
ing at present.
This discovery &C cunts for the phenomena of
the rocks falling or 10 miles from that spot

Gould, ESD. the Master Of the School, is
sound and interchangeable scholar, who has rem.
dercd much service to the ends Of classical
education in this country, by his editions of
Virgil aud Adams Latin Grammar, and his
Erceypia from Ovid, with Notes and Questions.
The Virgil, in particular, deserves to be widely
known, from the peculiar correctness Of the
text, hich is substantially Keynes, the varia-
lions from that--the best cXtant-beIng slight
and such only as careful collation. of all The

From tie National Gazette
We have been informed by very intelligent
and respectable gentleman who recently return
ed from Guatemala, where he resided for some
time, that the characters and views Of the con-
tending parties in that country do not appear
to be we'll understood in the United States.
He represents those whom the President of the
Central Republic calls the insurgents and Grim
inals of Salvador, and who were lately defeated
in battle, as the patriots ant republicans, and
friends of the Constitutes which President
Arce and his associates, the cid Spaniards and
clergy, had violated, and wished to destroy in
its essence. The victory of Arcc, he adds, was
a subject of lamentation with all the. genuine
citizens and liberals in Guatemala, as well as in
the other provinces. According to our infolm
ant, the finances of the Republic were in a
wretchcdcondition owing chiefly to the mis-
management of Arce; but notwithstanding the
present disorders and dis,resses, it may be
expected that the native constitutional party
will ultimately triumph, as the principles Of
civil and political freedom arc daily spreading
more widely and taking deeper root, and that
the public economy ofthe new state will -four
