JACKSON AND BURR.

Every body has heard of Col. Aaron Burr,
that daring conspirator who once aimed at
the subversion of our republic. Every one
knows that he was guilty of the charges al
legged against him by his country. But ev-
cry body does not know that Gen. jackson,
whom his partisans are now endeavoring to
seat in the presidential chair. was. while the
conspiracy was carrying on, the friend and
associate Of Burr. That while all good men
and true patriots were in state of alarm
for the safety of the goyernment--whilee v-
cry effort was making to apprehend the trail
tor and bring him to merited Justice, he was
safely reposing under the shades of the Her
mitage, enjoying the friendship and hospi
tally Of our now would be President. The
following extract from the Tennessee Ca
zette, taken therefrom into the Richmond
Enquirer, of the Goth January. 1907, pa-
per published then, as now, by Thomas Rit-
chic, will serve to demonstrate as well the
relation in which Col. Burr stood TO Gen.
Jackson, as the relation in which he stood
to the country:
"Col. Burr arrived on Sunday evening
last, at Gen. Jackson's. about miles from
this town; and has been in this place sever
al times this week. He appears to be pre-
pairing for some movement, we know moi
where. Should he attempt any hostile move
ments, we will make it known"
Thus il seems that while Col. Burr zap
pears to be preparing for some movement, :
and while the people of Tennessee were ev.
cry day expecting him to attempt some
''hostile movement" he makes Gen. Jack.

THETHAMEs TuNNEL.

A.meetingof the proprietors of this work
was held in London on the 28th of January,
when report was made by Mr.. Brunei on
the state Of the works, the extent of the late
disaster. and the measure resorted to for
repairingit. II appears from this report,
that the excavation had advanced previous
to the accident of Jan. 1850 feet from the
shaft, and SO feet since the repair of the for
mer breach. 1t had now reached within
rs feet of the middle Of the channel and with
in SIS feet. of low water mark, and within
37S feet ofthe first wharf on the north side
of the river. The distance yet to be exca-
waited, befcrereaching the shaft on the north
side, is7oo feet.
The present breach is less than the form
err one, as it, has required only SIS cubic
yards OF ground, principally clay in bags, to
tillit. The former required 14s0.cubic yards.
The filling was not yet considered complete,
and sufficiently condensed to bear the weight
of water above il, but the water has been
so tar drawn. off, as to be eleven feet lower
in the tunnvl, than in the river. The funds
