Gen. Ldfayefte.-Some months ago,
Mr.. Alfred Willard, of the city of Bos.
ton, sent to Gen. Lafayette several
specimens of American carved shell
work, manufactured by Mr.. Willard.
Among them were one or two elegant
combs, which had received the first
premium of the American Institute of
New York, and one Of them contained
a likeness of Lafayette surmounted by
the american flag, Eagle, symbols of
war, &c. A few weeks ago, Mr.. vii.

These pieces of beautiful workman

Murder of Mr.. Jennings, Post Mas.
Ter, Port Gibson. The Correspondent
OF the 18th gives the annexed account
OF this brutal assassination:
One of the most lameniable occur.
rences that has ever afflicted any COM
mun.ty, took place in this town ON Mon
day last. As John Jennings, Esq.
was passing from the Court House TO
Mrs. Deirance's tavern, and when u.
bout half way between the two, he was
fired upon by man named Jacob Skin
ner, after deliberate ann. The ball
entered his body, little below the ma
val, and passed out at the hip, with 50
much force as to make alarge indenta-
ton in the brick wall Of the court
house, about twelve PAGES distant. He
fingered about five hours and died.
Mr.. Jennings was not observing Skin
ner at the time, nor was he aware that
he harbored towards him an intention
of the kind.
Mr.. j. was one of our most peacca-
bic citizens, had lived in this place from
his infancy, in all of which time ii was
not known that he had ever made an
enemy, or given any cause for harbor-
ing i'll will towards him. So strongly
himself was he impressed with this be-
lief, that the night before this melun-
choly occurrence, he was expressing
to his afflicted consort, his gratifica-
ton that he had adval eed to the middle
age OF life without having made SIM
gle foe. But, alasl how uncertain are
the calculations Of man--at that very
moment there was one miserable being
planning his destruction, which he was
too successful in accomplishing. Mr..
Jennings was in effect u member OF the
christian church, and united perhaps
as many of the excellencies of cbarac-
ter, as christian and man, as any
other person.
With his latest breath he forgave
his murderer, requesting those around
to tell him that he had not merited that
death. Mr.. Jennings was Post Master
in Port Gibson, and was and had been
the repository ofmuny important trusts
confded to him by the public and indi-
viduals.
Skinner had been a resident of the
place for two years, was watchma-
ker by trade. He had been treated by
Mr.. Jennings in the kindest manner,
had been invited to his house, and re-
ceieved every other demonstration OF
the most friendly feeling. After he
had pcrpetrated the deed, Skinner at
tempted to escape, but vas soon appre-
hended, and is now in conhnemet, a.
waiting his trial.

Washington this morning, states, SUBJ

office, but was turned out, in the true
Jacksonian style. The following are
the particulars, as reported:
The cabinet council convened at the
Presidents house, on Monday, when
the secretary of state, Mr.. McLane;
the secretary Of war, gov. Cuss; and
the secretary Of the treasury, Mr.. Du-
ane, presented written opinions, ad-
verse to the view of the question pre-
sented by the president at the previous
meeting.
These documents having been seve-
rally read
The president declared that he had
determined upon the course to pursue;
and, turning to Mr.. Duane, required
him to sign the circulars to the offices
Of the custom, directing the removal
Of the depositcs.
The secretary ofthe treasury replied,
that he had duly consideredthe subject
in all its bearings, and could not con-
sent to the issuing of any such order.
Whereupon
The president, who, as his flatterers
tell him, was 'sborn tocommand," turn
ed from his minister of finance with a
cloudy brow no doubt) and directing
his eyes to the attorney general, said
Mr.. fancy, APPOINT YOU

There was no mistake in this deli

A resolution has been introduced in
to the Legislature of Tennessee, to in.
struct the Senators and request the
Representative in Congress from that
State, to procure the passage of law,
by which copy of the list Of members
Of Congress with their per diem pay,
and pay for mileage, and the distance
charged in going to and from Wash
ington, &c, shall be published, and a
copy deposited in the Secretary's Of
flee of each state.
A debate Of some length and spirit
ensued, in which the fact came out that
the resolution was designed to affect a
particular individual, IA prominent can
didate for office. The name and Of
flee are not mentioned, but it is to be
inferred that the reference is to some
one of the candidates for the U. S.
Senate. The fact alleged by Mr..
Yeager is, that "the gentleman alluded
to travelled through East Tennessee to
Washington, distance of $50 miles,
and charged mileage for the river
route, which exceeds 1000 miles. -
The difference in his favor, going and
returning, is about t,co hundred dollars.
The resolution was laid on the table
for further inquiry.-Bdh. Anne.

Cutting Of Steel by Sof Iron. Extract
Of letter to the Editor Of Silliman's 5
Journal, from the Rev. Herman Dag
get.
l take liberty to communicate to you a
fact which has lately come to my know
ledge and which l Judge may be of con-
siderable use to the mechanics and per-
haps in philosophy. 1t may not, how
ever, be new to you.
Mr. Barnes, a Cabinet Maker Of this
place, had occasion TO repair cross cut
saw, to be used by two persons, of We
ry hard plate, which would require con-
siderable labor in the usual way Of FL
ing. He recollected having heard that
the shakers sometimes made use OF what
he called buz to cut iron. He there
fore made circular sheet Of iron, a
piece of stove pipe fixed to it and put it
in his lathe, which gave it a very pow
erful rotary motion. While in motion he
applied to it a common file to make per-
fectly round and smoothe; but the file
was cut IN two by it, while it received
itself no impression.
He then applied piece Of rock crys-
tai which had the desired effect. Ht
then brought under it the saw plate
which in few minutes was neatly ant
completely cut through longitudinally
When he stopped the buz, he found j
had received no wear from the operation
and that be could Immediately apply his
fingers to it, without perceiving much
sensible heat. During the operation
there appeared band of intense fire a.
round the buz, continually emitting sparks
with great violence. He afterwards
marked the saw for teeth, and in shor
time cut them out by this means. i
seemed evident that the buz in effectinp
the division, never came in actual con
tact with the plate.
