WESTERN RAIL ROAD. The commits
sioners and engineer of the Western RAN
Road have returned to this city, after hav-
ing made careful and laborious examine
ton of the country, i'll some parts on sever
al routes, as far as the Hudson river.
There are, we believe, some other routes
to which they will hereafter turn their at
tention. 1t is not to be presumed that they
can determine with confidence, from the
results of this preliminary examination,
what route will be most eligible. rms
will remain to be decided, after the prlncI-
pal routes have been fully surveyed. We
understand that Col. Baldwin will begin
the surveys Immediately, and proceed with
them as fast as will be practicable.
The commissioners examined several
routes from Connecticut river to the Hudson.
One from Springfield, by way of West
field, Blanford and Stockbridge another
by way of Chester, Beckett and Stock
bridge; and another Ivy way of Chester,
the west branch of Westheld river to its
source, Dalton, Pitts6eld, Richmond, &c.
This last is supposed to have the most
gradual ascent of the three, but the other
two are more direct. Another route which
they examined, branches from that last de-
scribed ut Dalton, and follows the course
of the Hoosac river through Adams, Will
Jamestown, the Four Corners, and thence
/ to Troy. On their return, the commission
ers examined route through Cummington
| to Northampton, 4. and from Northampton
/ through South Hadley to the Three Rivers.
and through Ware, Rutland and West

Gov. CLINTON. We last week mentioned a
report that Gov. Clinton had consented to be
run as Vice President under General jackson,
and at the same time expressed our disbelief of
the report. 1t is still strongly affirmed in some
of the papers, and as strongly denied by others
The most liberal and intelligent doubt it, The
Editor of the New York Advertiser gives
strong reason for disbelieving the story, and
concludes his article thus:
eve think that Governor Clinton must
be convinced, that, if he is ever advanced
to any place of distinguished honour under
the national government, it will be owing
to Northern, and not to Southern influence.
The foundation of the present MALIGNANT
opposition to Mr.. Adams, unuuestionblv
rests upon SLAVERY. Demagogues NAV
pirate, and fret, and scold, as long, and as
loud as they please, but the truth will re-
main the same. We have no more doubt
of the correctness of the above remark.
than we have that Gen. Jackson is totally
unfit for the chief magistracy of the Union.
But Mr.. Clinton is quite as obnoxious to the
southern politicians on this ground, as Mr..
Adams. They may stife their feelings
for the moment so far, as to make use of
Mr.. Clinton to displace Mr. Adams, but
when that is accomplished, they never will
consent to the promotion of Mr.. Clinton an
inch beyond the Vice-presidency. If he
is satished to take that place, they may
agree, for the accomplishment of a great
er OBJECT, to let him step into it-But it
VIII be his last step. He will die in it
politically, If ne does not naturally. With
all their protested regard for his character
and talents, they feel none except as those
talents and influence may subserve their
interests; and when they have secured
their object, they will discard him with
out ceremony.

Gen. Jackson and his Garter, have driv-

Eat on, whilst their friends are fighting

an does not substantiate Gen. Jackson's

TO count out specie as one would wish TO

On the 10Th of September, instant, the
agent again appeared, so fond is he of I'm

The $I8,82l he then presented, were

a little rsse in reserve, and on the second
day after, without having returned to-" her

ing to intrude, with $2,706, by way Of a
meat surprise. This, however, would not
do, and the vault was found 10 jingle as

$4,000 capital, has redeemed its own bills
in specie TO the amount of Sl06, lO4
There are, probably, but few banks in the
United States, that could stand such run,
and especially hold out in wind like this
bank, which is now as ready to meet the

we do not pretend to know much about
the effect of the allied banking system,
upon. circulation, and so far as it fairly
tests the stability of banks that are inclined
to overstep their means, and keeps up a
wholesome circulation, it is to be approved
But if the object is by resoring to petty
tricks TO make other banks give up theil
own independence, or their honest profits
end in fact pay tribute to the Suffolk, it /.
a plan unworthy honorable merchants, anC
ought to be discountenanced. Suppose ;
company of merchants of immense capital
should resort to these kind of tricks, buy
ing up paper and breaking upon other mer'
chants of less capital, and pretend they
were doing it for the good of the public
20 keep doubtful notes out of the market
and test the credit of the merchants they
were running; and suppose they stopped
buying up the paper of any merchant, whC
would agree to pay them one quarter PEI
cent, upon all his commissions? WoulC
this be considered honorable and fair deal
ing? We are somewhat at loss to see
why the parallel does not hold in the con
duct of the Boston Allies towards the coun
cry banks. But we don't pretend to be

At the celebration of independence this
year we had exhibited several specimens
of wine which have been examined in Bal
timore and Philadelphia, and pronounced
by good Judges equal to the best foreign
wines. The vineyards in this neighborhood
are extremely flourishing, and the vintage
of last year affords handsome profit to
their proprietors. The Tuffcanum vine
yard, the oldest and most productive is now
worth near a thousand dollars an acre, and
yields more than the interest of that mon
ey. A gentleman ten miles below, who
put out ten acres in the white mulberry,
assures me the field yields him annually,
beyond all expenses, six hundred dollars.

From tie Charleston Courier.

Mr.. EDIToR-A small negro girl, on
Monday, the Both of July, trod accidental
ly upon piece of glass, which lay over
hollow in the earth. In the course of the
day one piece of glass, which lay in sight
just beneath the skin, was extracted with
the finger, and it was supposed this was all
that had entered at the time of the acct
dent. But as she still continued to com
plain of pain, poultice of bread and but
ter, with spirits of terpentine poured on it,
was applied to the wound, and in an hour
or two, upon examining the poultice, anoth-
er piece of glass made its appearance.
The child being still in pain, and the ball
of the foot extremely sensitive, the poultice
was again applied, and with similar sue
cess. 1t was found necessary to continue
the same process for nearly week, during
which time, no less than % small pieces Of
glass, generally Of triangular shape and
with angles extremely sharp, were drawn
by this simple but powerful agent from the
interior of the wound. The foot was also
daily soaked in I've water, which generally
brought away one or two pieces. What
renders the case more remarkable is, that
after the first piece was taken out there
was no appearance of any deep wound, and
no more glass was felt, or could be suspect
ed to remain in it; and by the time that
eleven or twelve of the fragments had
been extruded, skilful surgeon, who prob
ed the wound, pronounced that nothing
more was perceptible within. The proba-
bility is, that at first long slender frag-
ment of glass entered the foot, almost par
allel to the skin, and at some distance be-
meath it, and that the girl who afterwards
walked about for some time, thus broke il
up into so many very minute parts. She is
at present free from all pain and irritation
in the part, and walks with no appearance
of lameness.

We learn that two Conventions between
the United States and Great Britain have
been received at the Department of State,
which were concluded and signed in the
early part Of last month, a few days before
Mr.. Canning's death, by Mr.. Gallatin, and
Messrs. Grant and Arlington. By one of
them, the Third Article of the Convention
of 1918, which stipulates the joint occupa-
ton of the country beyond the Stony
Mountains, is continued; and, by the 9TH
er, the Commercial Convention of 1915,
which was continued by the above men
toned Convention of 1918, is further con-
tinued. The duration of the Convention of
1918, having been limited to ten years,
which would have expired on the Goth of
October, 1923, on that day the existing
Commercial Convention, and the article re-
specting the country beyond the Rocky
Mountains, would have terminated, but
for the recent Conventions. They are
now to continue indefinitely as to time,
each party reserving the right to put an
end to either of them, upon twelve months
notice given to the other party.-.Nat Intel.

AWFUL CALAMITY. Three men, faith
er and two sons, named Saul, were killed
on the 9Th Sept. near Columbus in Ohio.
in attempting to descend into well, filed
with fire damp. The particulars, as they
have been related to us, were as follows
they had been engaged in digging the
well, and had descended twenty feet. 1t
was observed, the night before, that, on
coming out, the workmen appeared unusu-
ally pale. On returning to the work yes
terday morning, a brother-in-law of the
young Sauls, first attempted to descend, but
experienced so much distress before he
reached the bottom, that he requested to
be drawn up. One of the young men then
got into the bucket, and was let down a.
bout half, when he fell to the bottom of the
well. His brother Immediately attempted
to descend to his relief but likewise fell
before reaching the bottom. The father
then, contrary to the circumstances of those
about him, insisted on being let down he
had descended about half way, when he
called out to be drawn up again, but before
he reached the top, he also pitched out and
fell dead-upon his dead sons. Means
were Immediately taken to recover the dead
bodies, and attempts were made to resusci-
tate them, but vitality was wholly extinct.
