THe Season. We have never known season in our life that was not the most re- markable that was ever seen and felt. 1t is either the hottest, or coldest, or dryest, or wettest, or earliest, or latest, or rainyest, or snowyest, or fruitfulest or barrenest that was ever heard of. But of all the most remarkable years we remember we think the present the most remarkably remarka- ble. First comes frost in May that turns all the young leaves red and brown, as if 'twefe October ;--kil!s all the fruit, and destroys nearly every thing else. Then the locusts desolate the country. Then drought follows which dries up the rivers. burns the corn to death, annihilates the pos 'tatoes, and raises the thermometer higher than was ever know. This oven come rains which nearly wash away North Caro- Ina, and root up the cotton trees all through the South. Finally, tho scene closes by Jack Frost stepping in and chewing up the tobacco crop with the most coola and icy com. posture. fin the course of next month there is not tornado of fire and sulphur we shall think 1t a lucky escape.

HoNoR TO THE DEAD.-A writer fl, tha .Nat. Iatelfigenccr under this head relates the following anecdote When the body of Commodore DECATUR was placed in the vault of Mir. Barlow, (now Col. Bomfords) at Kalorama, and when the mul- titude which accompanied the funeral had dispersed, he observed solitary individual, in sailors dress lingering near tho place. He walked up to him, and asked him what he wanted; the sailor replied fhat he !" only wished to look awhile at the place where they laid the ndinmast of the navy!" and walked off. Who could have spoken better e0- logy? It was the eloquence of nature and of truth.

4 generous act.-A gentleman at New Orleans, not remarkable for his liberality, had q tenant who had occupied building of his for some years. During the recent pressure, the tenant called upon his land- lord, and said that he was unable to pay his rent for the preceding month, and reminded him that he had punctualy paid him his rent (S24 per month) for seven years.- The landlord was inexorable, and told him he must move, and gave him fifteen days to find house. Before the fifteen days ex- pired, the tenant called and paid him his rent-the landlord handed him a piece of paper, saying "there is your receipt. ."-- Upon the expiration of the fifteen days the tenant again called, and informed the iand- lord that he had obtained house, and was moving. The landlord replied. ''you are a fool, sir you are fool! go look at your receipt; you will find that it is in full for the rent for twelve months." The tenant had not examined it, went home in great surprise, and when he found it, to his still greater astonishment, it was bill of sale of the whole property, worth at least four teen thousand dollars !---N'atchcz Colr.

Approximation English friends seem to be outstripping even the ingenious manu- lecturers of Roxbury and Lynn, in tho application of India Rubber. Experi- ments are now being made at Portsmouth by the British Government, with India rub Der gun breachings, to break the coil of the gun; also of shoppers of the same material for cables, to prevent the drag of the anchor, or the breaking of the cable and hauser ropes. Mir. Siever, the sculp- tor, is the inventor. There are 100 tons or more of caoutchouc now annually im- ported into Britain, and some of the West India planters are planting their estates with the tree, which is the Hapia Guiancn. sis, species of fig. The India rubber is also now used in ropes, being intertwined with the hempen strands. '

IMPROVEMENT IN KENTUCKY KEN U K r

LEXINGTON, Ky. Oct. 2l.-The Mays vile and Lexington Macadamized turn pike is, we learn, so nearly completed, as to be opened the whole distance (63 miles) for the accommodation of the public. A better Maeadam road than this IS not to be found in the United States, and we doubt if there Is a better on the other side of the Atlantic. The stock we are also happy to learn will yield dividend, approaching very nearly, if not exceeding, six per cent. per annum.
 The grading of the Nicholasvile, Dan- vile and Lancaster turnpike, and the Georgetown and Lexington turnpike, was commenced some time since, and is pro- gressing as rapidly as circumstances will permit.
 The Versailles, Lexington and Frank fort, and the Winchester and Lexington Turnpike Companies have been orgin,zed by the choice of officers and portions, if not the whole, of both of these works viii be under contract within few months.
 The Richmond and Lexington Turnpike company Is the only one in this part of the State, chartered by the last legislature, the stock in which has not been already taken.

The Democrats of Cincinnati have got themselves, and "the gifted" R. T. Lytle, into a nice scrape. As, soon as 1t was known that Lytle was beaten, they assem- bled in conclave and resolved that "the Gifted" should resign his seat for the un- expired term, being the coming session of Congress-with the hope of exciting sym pathy in his favor, and the intention of again bringing him out for the office. The Whigs saw through the nianmuvre, and wisely con- cluded to have neither lot norpartin the mat ter, as even the election of AIr. Storer 10 the present Congress could produce no beneficial change upon it's legislation.-
 The ofiice-holders played every game they were master of, to produce different
 determination--hoped a "decent'' opponent would be brought out against thenl--and were even liberal enoughto to announce can- didate for the Wings, before the name had appeared'in any of their papers. But it wouldn't do the Wings were immova- ble. MT. Lytle was then nominated for reelection 10 his own vacancy; and we ob- serve, that George Washington Mason, familiarIy known as "Goldibus Gsldibsss," ,"
 has come forward as his antagonist in the farce. To add to the humor of the thing,
 the candidate announced by the offiee-
 holders organ. promptly withdrew bis pre- Itentions, declaring that he could not thlnk l of t being brought into collision with the lthird Washingsof.n If hIr. Lytle should be f. yf elected, we protestin advance against the lcnllar prints putting 1t down as another item lof :. Glory. y.n-.Mo. Etp.

SEVERE LAws-The penal laws of the State of Loulslana provide :-ss Ihai sheald aaag slare uo.ntn&l4 aposupd o2, anasns [ aef..te aaars, he slsaH bs punished auith deaA.''- Under this law, slave, belonging to Abijah Frisi, was recently arraigned, in the city of New Orleans, for striking white man, found guilty, and sentenced to be hung, on the following evidence, which was adduced on the trial =
 MT. Crone Ker being called upon, testi- fled that he was at the corner of Cont and Bourbon streets, be saw some negroes quarrelling or fighting among themselves. He went up to them and ordered them to disperse, when the prisoner sprang from the crowd, to where he the deponent was in the middle of the street, and struck him on the head with a pair of fire-tongs which he held in his hands.
 Messrs. Smith and s. M. Saunders con- frmed the foregoing evidence.
 Dr. Davidson, .jr. testified, that he ex- amined the wound short time after its in fiction, and that 1t was two and ahalf in- ches broad, and bled abundantly: that he dressed 1t. ss
 Catharine Andre testified that on the 22d Sept. she saw the prisoner coming from his dwelling with a pair of tongs, and saying to his wife, that he would l<ll white man that evening, should he be hanged for 1t. He then went towards Bourbon street.
 The attorney general then submitted 1t to the Court, who after conferring among themselves quarter of an hour, declared the prisoner guilty, and condemned him to be hung on the 18th October. between ten o'clock, A. M. and five o'clock, IP. M., on the public square, parallel to the rail- road,

U. s. SENATE.-Ih constitutional terms of sixteen Senators expire on the 4th of March next, and there are now three vacancies by resignation--malSing in all nineteen. Eleven of those who gosout are Wings: viz. Spragne of Maine, Bell Of N. Hampshire, Silsbee of Massachusetts, Knight of Rhode Island, Frelinghuysen of N. Jersey, Clayton of Delaware, Leigh of Virginia, Calhoun of South Carolina, Bibb of Kentucky, Waggaman of Louisiana, Poindexter of Mississippi, and Chambers of Maryland. The rest of the nineteen are Jackson men: viz. Brown of North Carolina, White of Tennessee, King of Alabama, Robinson of Illinois, King of Georgia, Wilkins of Pennsylvania, and Forsyth of Georgia. Four of those whom we have designated as Wings, were elect ed to the Senate as administration men, but have since come over to the. support of the Constitution. In the approaching sen atorial elections, the administration party will probably effect three changes in Maine, one in N. Hampshire, and one in N. Jersey. The Wings will undoubtedly eject one Jackson Senator-Mf Brown of North Carolina. The political character of the Senate of the 24th Congress will be the same as that of the present. That body will still remain the impregnable bull wark of the Constitution, even if no more of it's Jackson members shall follow the fashion of the times and give their services to their country.

 Why this is a curious proceeding. - Where, in the name of sense, did they keep the jfoar or jfire children, they were in honor bound to have, during these four or five years of their secret marriagel ltis deci- dedly "mysterious," and should be investi- gated. We fear that several little brats have had foul play. A bili of discorcry should be filed, and the parties forced 10 make full exhibit of all their core,i pre- ceedings.-Nat. Bonner.

"A gentleman informs US that eight fami- lies of his acquaintance, in an adjoining county, are making active preparation to emarate to the West. Poor Carolina! dear lY loved as you are hy your sons, the strong ties of affection must yield to the apathy and mismanagement which portend nothing but poverty and ruin.o
 The above paragraph Is taken from the Newhern Spectator ofthe I7th instant. It IS a source of regret that, at the moment when Carolina is putting forth her power to attain her former rank in the Confedera- ~cy, that any oi' her sens should forsake her, and seek a distant land. But this incident ought to remind Us Of an important lesson. It IS the result of that policy which Virgin ia and North Carolina have too long pnr- sued; and to the baneful character of which both are awakening. Could we recall, by the magic wand of the enehanter, the gal lant sons and lovely daughters of Virginia and Carolina, who have gone from Us to build up the young empires of the Vest could they appear before us with their long train of descendants, how forcibly would we be struck with that miserable policy which has banished such a goodly host from our landl But thq past is beyond our pow ef; and it becomes us to be stirring, lest another generation shall pass from OUT con fines, and the people, unnerved ansdispirited, relapse into that hthargy from which, after q long slumber, t2ey have at length awaken ed.-g4ortolk B4acoa.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct zZU.
 The Schooner Philadelphia, which sail ed from Aransas, Texas, on the 9th inst, arrived this morning. She has on. board about 40 emigrant passengers from Powers colony, on the Mission river, Texas. We learn from a passenger on board that they are completely disgusted with the country, that near all the colony, principally composed of Irish, had been sick with the fever, and that namber of deaths had ta- ken place among them-it is further stated that 1t is the intention of all the colonists to leave the country as soon as possible. Those who came passengers in the Phlla- delpha were more or less afflicted with fever and ague when they left, but were rapidly recovering.
 We hope that some steps will be taken by our liberal minded citizens ta mitigate the distresses Of these unfortunate emi- grants. CoT;cr.

 II IS with sincere regret. that We have to announee the death of Mir. John Adams. son of MT. J. Q. Adams. He died last Thursday, at Washington, where he has re- sided for the last ten years. He had been tor some time i'll, of bilious fever, and his iather, apprised of his danger, hurried to washington. and had the melancholy satis- faction ct attending him in his last mo- isisiiss. he deceased was the secon;sii oi il taree sons of the ex-presidcnt; the elder of whom died few years ago, and the survi- ving one resides in this city. J, Adams was oi Inc class that graduated at Cambridge, in 1923. During the Administration of his talhcF, he was the Presidents private Se- cretary. He was a young gentleman of su- Peflor talents and accomplishments, distin- gHished for his domestic and social virtues. and universally beloved by those whoknew him best. five remember correctly, he studied law with the late Mr. Wirt under suehan instructor, q person of his inquiring miad could not fail to have reeeiveda a correct knowledge of the principles and practice ot the law. Some years ago, he married Miss Helen, of Maryland, an amable and accomplished young lady, and relative of Mrs. Adams. His premature death will be a severe bereavement 10 his parents, and to his own domestic circle.

Seat of War in ,Spain.-The war in Spain is confined to the three contiguous provinces, Biscay, Navarro, Guipuscoa, and Alaya, north of the Ebro, and compri- slng 45o square leagues and 6eG.0G0 in- habltants. Since the irruption of the re- nelllonln 1853, fomented in a great measure blythe fanaticism of the Carlist priesthood, there nave been successiveiy four different commanders sent against the rebels, by the Queen Regent Christine. viz. Saars- field, Galpes, Quesada, and lastly Rodil. the brave Marquis, who drove the preten- der, Carlos, and his friend Miguel, out of Portugal, and will now do the same with the former in the North of Spain. RodIl has adopted the wise plan of destroying the convents of the Carlist priesthood, thus breaking ptheir depositeries and lnanufac- tories of arms. But his most eifectual weapon is the establishment of gasrisons, whereby the intermediate villages over this tract may be protected from punder by the bands oi rebels who conceal themselves in the defiles of mountains. An @rbaa or city guard also may be tbus organized. A larger regular force also viii be required. Rodil is said to be exceedingly alert aud vigllant, and Don Carlos and zumalacar- regui reduced to the last extremity. IL IS proposed by some of the spaniards to have an armed intervention from France, to be confined in their operations between that kingdom and the Ebro.

Fellow citizens, this is not a question ofBank
or no Bank-it is a struggle between liberty and
power, & of the rights of the people, through their
representative body, to the control and care OF
their own money. 1t is the effort of the execu-
tive to seize and hold the federal treasures. 1t
is a contest between the rights of the people and
the spirit of encroachment; between the Con-
s~titution of our fathers and the assumptions of
the day. We demand in our name, and In
behalf ofyour laws, that this grasp of power be
instantly relinquished-we inherit a jealousy OF
executive abuse. The men oftbe Revolution
the stern and enlightened patriots of '9S, point
ed to this part of the system, as most dangerous
to popular freedom. Our revolution common
ced in an act of executive usurpation.
The removal of the deposites of gunpowder,
(then the peoples property in rs, drove our
fathers to arms-they rushed to the rescue, and
whilst the Satrap Off King concluded his mani
festo, with the loyal prayer of God save the
Royal Executive, the men of that day respon-
ded to it with the patriot shout of God save the
liberties of America.

PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY MEETING

A meeting ofdelegates from the different cleo
ton districts Of Prince Georges county and a
large number of other citizens, was held pursu-
ant to notice, at Upper Marlborough, on the 18th
inst. The object was to take into consideration
the distracted state of the country, resulting
from the removal of the public deposites from
the Bank of the United States. Robert w.
Bowie, Esq. was called to the Chair, and Tho
mas l. Marshall, Thomas B. Hall, and Henry l..
Brent, Esqs. were appointed Secretaries. The
meeting being organized, the Chairman rose,
and, in a short and appropriate address, called
upon the meeting to express their sentiments
firmly and calmly upon the recent act Of Elk
ecutive usurpation, in removing the Govern
ment deposites from the Bank of the United States
contrary to law.
After the close ofhis remarks, a committee of
eight was appointed to prepare resolutions
these having retired, in a short time reported a
preamble & resolutions disappearing the course
persued by the President in removing the de-
posites. and in regard to the hostile attitude as
sumed by the Government towards the Bank of
the United States. A resolution was also adop
ted inStructing Mr.. StOddert, the Representa-
tive in Congress from that district, to aid by his
influence and vote, in procuring the restoration
of the public deposites to the United States
Bank.
The committee also reported a memorial to
Congress, setting forth in plain but eloquent
terms. the evils of the experiment, on the agri-
cultural interest of the people of that county,
and praying the restoration of the depos-
ties, as a principal means of restoring trans
guilty to the country, and its accustomed pros
perity.
Committees were appointed in the different
election districts, to procure signatures to the
memorial, and a deputation of five from each
district, to proceed with it to Washington.
