he dictated whilst another wrote, as is So
lemnly certified by Antoine LIE CHR, U. s.
interpreter for the Sacs and Foxes. AS a
life of the warrior it may be read, but not on
account ofany ability displayed by his aman-
uensis. 1t is dull and meagre account OF
the battles in which this chief has been en-
gagged with neighboring tribes and with the
whites, written in loose and disjonted STYLE
The facts as stated may be true, but are not
worth the time and irnnblo which have been
employed in throwing them together. This
work and the Life of David Crockett, ought
to be placed on the same shelf-[Lou. Her.
EFFECTS OF THE GALE ON TUESDAY. Dec Is.
The storm appears to have been more dis
astrous than we have even apprehended in
our paper of yesterday. From every direc
ton we continue to receive the most distress
ing details. In our bays and along the coast,
We have tidings of the most melancholy
description.
The storm was very severe at Staten Is
land, the Planters Hotel Dock, and the
Steamboat Dock are almost entirely destroy
led; The Public Store Wharf is very much
injured, also the Quarantine Deck, and the
new block sunk last fall also damaged very
much: in fact the wharfs are so much injur-
ed that it is difficult to land or receive pas
sengers in the Steamboats,. Several of the
Lighters are more or less injured, one lighter
and small soop were driven on the Steam
boat Dock, one small schooner was driven
up In tine road near planters Hotel. The
damages from the narrows to the Kills on
Staten Island are estimated at 500, OO0--
We learn that considerable damage was
done to the roads &c. at E!izabethtown.
A gentleman who came out from Phila-
|delphia yesterday by the Rail Roah Line,
st; ties that the roads were much injured near
South Amboy, and that house was carried
away; but the railway was perfect, and in
no place so much injured as to interrupt the
cars ~. Y. Daily Adver.
The Nashville Republican, which supports
Mr.. Van Buren,, in late paper enquired,
"What claims has Judge Mclean upon the
mechanics2" A working man, in the Ban
ner, hits the Republican a rap over the
knuckles in the following: sit is enough for
the editor OF the Republican to know that the
mechanics and working men wish to choose
their own rulers-nolwithstand it should
displease the Albany Regency. n-[Herald
