Mn. JEFFERsON's OPINIONS OF GEN.
JACKSON. In consequence of letter ad-
dressed to Governor Coles, of Illinois, for
merly private secretary of Mr.. Madison
by eight respectable citizens of Edwards
vile, requesting him to state what opinions
he had heard Mr.. jefferson express, in re-
latlon to General Jackson's fitness for the
Presidency, he, Governor Coles, answers
that in August 1926, he heard Mr.. jefferson
give the following opinions of General
JacKson's fitness for the office of President,
which he Governor Coles) asserts were de-
clared by him before in a letter dated May
9th, 1926, viz.
:" Mr. Jefferson told me last summer that
the zeal which had been displayed in favor
Of making Jackson President, had made
him doubt of the duration of the Republic
that he did not possess the temper, the ac-
quirements, the assiduity, the physical
qualifications for the offfce-that he had
been in various civil offices and had made
figure in none-and that he had COM
pletely failed and shown himself incompe-
tent to an executive trust in Florida-in a
word, said the venerable old Patriarch,
there are one hundred men in Albermarle
county, better qualified for the Presidency
Governor Coles also writes to Thomas
w. Gilmer, Esq. of Charlottesville. Va. re-
questing him to state what opinions he had
heard Mr.. Jefferson express concerning
Gen Jackson; and Mr. elmer, whom the
National Iatelligencer says is believed
:" to be a thorough-goi supporter of the
Military Candidate" declares that he heard
Mr.. Jefferson speak as follows OF Gen.
Jackson
~ remember to have heard Mr. Jeffer-
son, on one occasion, use an expression,
which struck me, not so much by the SEN
iment it contained (which, indeed, was
hen a very common one in Virginia) as the
style in which itwas made. Speaking OF
the several candidates for the Presidency,
before the last election, he remarked that,
one might as well make sailor of cock,
or a soldier of goose, as a President of
Andrew Jackson These words made an
indelible impression on my memory. They
were uttered with tone of sportiye, al
most of contemptuous derision."

JUDICIAL DECISION.
The Commonwealth M Indicted for the ma =

Inc commonwealth Indicted for the ma r
william Losher. der Gfhis '0ife-
At the swearing of the Jury in this case,
at the present term of Oyer and Termin-
er, Isaac W. Morris, member of the So
ciety of Friends, being called as Juror
declared to the Court his unwillingness
and inability to find verdict of convic-
ton, whatever might be the evidence, in a
capital case. The Attorney for the Com
monwealth, thereupon offered to chal@
lenge the Juror for cause. This was OBJ
jected to by Counsel of the prisoner
they alleged that the declaration of the Ju-
ror was no cause of challenge, and con
tended that he should be affirmed. After
argument at length on each side, Chief
Justice Gibson said in substance, that he
considered the point as recognized and
ruled by the late Chief Justice Tilgham
and himselfin former case in the same
court, where a member of the Friends
Society was committed to prison for refus-
| ING to serve as Juror, in capital trial.
| The case fell within none of the causes of
challenge laid down in the books-it was
an error and mere abstract opinion of the
Jurors; if the Court was not to deprive
him of it, and he thought the Juror should
be affirmed, as being Omni erceptione
major"
Judge Rodgers, who had been called
( from the Court of Nisi Prius, adjoining, to
take part in the decision, in giving his
opinion, denied the right of the Court to
place the Juror in a situation, to violate
his conscientious rights; such interior
ence would be violation Of the Consti-
tuition. LEAD us not into temptation"
said Judge R. is our daily prayer Z; and to
compel the Juror to act either against his
conscience, or the law, would be to tempt
him to wrong. The obvious religious per
suasion of the Juror confirmed him in be-
lieving his declaration was a sufficient cause
for challenge.
Judge Todd did not think the point de-
cided in the former case referred to that
there, the Juror had only asked to be ex-
oused. We are bound, said he, to support
the law. Murder ought to have the pun
ishment which the law provides, or no
punishment at all. 1t Would be an abuse OF
language to say that an assassin was tried
by Jurors who felt the convictions which
Mr. Morris had expressed. He gave his
opinion that the cause of challenge a0aS
good.
The Juror toaS ercused, and another
substituted.

A REvoLUTIoNARY soLDIER.

4 On the 18th ult. Mr.. Sprague presented to
Congress the petition of John Blake, revo-
lutionary officer, who entered the service
IN April, l775; who was in the battles of
/ Long Island, Harlaem Heights, East Ches-
ter, White Plains, Trenton, Saratoga, Still
Rwater, Stoney Point, besides a score of
skirmishes. The following is an extract
from the petition:
"When in the Jerseys, captured sew
eral small attachments of refugees, which
so irritated their commander, Colonel De-
lanca. that no offored reward of sixty
gnlneas to any person who might bring me
to him, dead or alive. Gen. Washington.

/ York, wrote me letter to repair to his
quarters. When / arrived, he SAYS, Friend
Blake, have pleasant tour of duty for YOU.

SIX officers were made prisoners, but the
Colonel was absent and escaped.

for my services, and have lately had the
misfortune of having one of my arms brok-

bllltated and disabled as am, of Iaboring
to support life. But soon will the vital
spark expire, and free my country from nv
pressing opportunities. Shall Congress be
reproached with partiality?. Why, then,
do some, who served only nine months, re-
celye their pensions as many years, whilst
Others, because they have, by persevering
Industry, obtained a scanty pittance, are
remanded from their country's generosity ?

the day. My countrymen, reckon upon
your justice and generosity"

DEBORAH SAMPSON. Memoirs Of the
female of this name, who served as volun-
teer soldier during the last three years of
the American revolution, are proposed to
be published 10y Mr.. II. Mann, of Dedham.
She was, we believe, native of Sharon,
in the county of Norfolk, and her husband
and children still survive. Many of the
motives inducing her to engage in an en-
terprize so unnatural to her sex, together
with the particulars of her situation in the
disguise of her sex amidst an army of all
dispositions and habits, were scrupulously
withheld by her during her life but when
disclosed, says the publishers, will, if be-
lieved, reflect honor upon her name. The
publisher solicits information relating TO
her from such as may recollect any inter-
esting circumstances Of her life and char
acter in the army or elsewhere. "She en-
listed for a class in Uxbridge, Mass, was
mustered at Worcester, enrolled by the
name of Robert Shurtliffe, and on the lines
at West Point, was put into Capt. Webb's
company of infantry in the 18th Massachu-
sets Regiment, commanded by Colonel
Shepard, and General Paterson's Brigade.
To this last fine officer she was waiter or
aid great part of three years. A discov-
cry of her sex, after the peace, was made
while she was sick in the hospital at Phil
adelphia, by DR.. Dana, experimenting sur
geon. She was pensioned by Congress as
long as she Hved."--Columbian Reporter.

TOBACCO Factory. Passing Spring
street, few days ago, saw large pile
of brick buildings IN Laurens- street, and
extending to Wocster-street, occupying
about sixteen lots of ground On inquiry |
found it to be the snuff and tobacco factory
of the Messrs. LorIllards. Their new fac
tory is creditable to themselves and the
city. understand these gentlemen have,
by Industrious and honorable means in a
long course Of business, brought their es-
Establishment TO be the first and most extern
sive of the kind in America. Commencing
with small capital, at IA period when the
greater part of the snuff and tobacco vend-
ed here was brought from Europe and a
neighboring city continuing and perse-
vering by their improvements TO excel in
the manufacture Of those articles, they
have not only excluded all importations
from Europe, and nearly all from other
places, excepting inferior qualities, but
have gained a preference for their snuff
and tohacce in almost every part of Amer
lea; and their snufs are now exported to
Europe, and used at the courts of Vienna
and ST. Petersburg. Such establishments
as these compose the solid wealth of the
nation and our city employment is given
to hundreds Of hands in the manufacture,
and thousands make profit ON the sale of
the articles.

son who had been taken out of the water.
volunteered his aid in the process of resus-
citation, IN which he succeeded. although
the man had been twenty minutes sub
mersed, and oeen subjected to the fright
ful ordeal ef hanging by the heels. The
proper n.eans OF recovery were applied a
fuil hollr without success, but at the end
oil thrt time, circulation and respiration be-
gah gradually to return; the recovery was
accompanied, however, with dreadful te-
tanic commissions. Bleedings were made
from the arm to rather a copious extent.
M. Bourgeois infers that a drowned per-
son should never be abandoned until de-
composition begins to manifest itself. Up
on this subject M. Leroy d'Etoiles has ad-
dressed communication to the academy,
In support of the claims of galyanism in
such cases. He maintains that, if short
and very fine needle be plunged into the
side OF the body between the seventh and
eighth ribs, SO that it will reach the attach
ments OF the diaphragm, and communi-
cation be established with pile of twenty
five or thirty couples of plates, Of an inch
diameter, the diaphragm will Immediately
contract and an inspiration be made
Then, by interrupting the circle during
this inspiration, and replacing it in order
to excite a second, we may at length sue
coed IN establishing perfect respiration.

VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE. 1t will be
perceived, that the proposition to appoint a
Committee on Manufacturers, has passed
the house of Delegates by large lnaiori-
ty. Two or three years ago, such motion
would have been ordered to lie on the
table, like that to elect Chap 'ain, with no
intention on the pant of the majority to act
upon il. The truth is the People of Vir-
gina begin to see matters in a new lioht :.
and their Delegates are aware of a chance
in their opinion in relation to Manufacturers
mot that they are more friendly than for
merly to ahigh tariff on imported goods
but all their opposition has been unayailino'
they are determined now, instead of carry,
ing on war of ,cordS, to attempt rivalry
of works in which their Northern and East,
ern brethren are yet so far ahead of them

DEATH WATCH. The influence of SUI
perstltlon and ignorance is astonishingly
great; as one proof, what dismay and UNI
easlness has not the watch like ticking of
this grub often excited among all descrip-
tons OF persons? and, indeed, as a writer
IN certain periodical remarks, "that in
sects almost invisible, should in regularity
OF time and distinctness of sound, initiate
a machine which has employed so many
hands III its construction, and composed of
wheels and springs, with the utmost ingen-
mty, Is above all ordinary comprehension"
" 1t was only within few years past that
considered these visitors as solitary and
nightly disturbers since which have ac-
cldentally discovered that this is by no
means the case. Having occasion to
stretch a piece of silk paper moistened
with glue water, on square frame, was
frequently surprised at different hours of
the day, by noise similar to what we are
accustomed to hear in a watchmaker's
window, full of watches, and distinctly
audible at five or six yards distance. |
soon found that my frame was occupied as
a drum, by numbers of those little gray
vermin, not much larger than mites and
was enabled to identify the performers,
and witness the harmlessness of their
music and think tits more than probable
that could these little creatures oftener
meet with a proper tympanum, we should
much more frequently hear them, at GER
tain seasons, when their little drumming
which no doubt concerns their own social
community, is constantly heard by their
own companions, though inaudble to us.
