There is one circumstances attending
the sin OF SANDER, which renders it pc
culisrIy injurious-the difficulty Of
calculating the i'll effects produced by
it When once you have uttered the
words Of SANDER, it is no longer in your
power TO stop their progress: they tray
ell from one to another into general
circulation. "behold, saysthe apostle,
@what a great fire littlespark kindleth!'
How many are the griefs caused by
false or exaggcratedreports! how many
the place of families be destroyed by
them! The discord and quarrels in
neighborhoods may frequently be ira
ced to this malignent source.-The
misrepresentations Of detractions have
even caused friends TO arm themselves
against one another, and MURDER has
been the consequence. Many are the
individuals who owe their ruins to the
thoughtless and i'll natured discourse
oftheir neighbors. Figure to yourself
that you may be the cause Of any Of
these calamities, and what must be
your feelings and remorse! Many per-
sons are the cause of them. Check,
then, early, your inclinations to evil
speaking and SANDER, lest you may
have to rcproach yourselfwith the most
bitter reflections on the misery you
have caused.

Tartary, has been built full two thou
sand years, and is supposed to be full
twelve hundred miles in length; its
height varies according to the circum-
stances Of the surface. It is upwards
Of thirty feet high, and twenty-four
broad. The foundation is laid upon
large square stones, the superstructure
is brick; the center is kind Of mortar,
covered with flag stones. A parapet
Of no ordinary strength runs on each
side Of an embattled wall. If we con-
slider that this immense fabric covers
the widest rivers, on arches of proper
tionate size, or, in the same form, con-
meets mountains together, occasionally
ascending the highest hills, or discend-
ing into the deepest wales, the most ac-
tive powers Of Imagination will be re-
quired torealize this effort Of man? In
every situation, however the passage
along it is easy and uninterrupted; and
it serves as a military road from one
end Of the kingdom to the other. At
proper intervals there are strong tow
ers placed, from whence signals are
repeated and an alarm may be commu-
nicated to the most distant parts ofthe
empire, with the expedition Of the tele-
graph.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

A RIGHTEOUS DEcIsIoN.-We learn
from the Boston Post, that the leaders
of the rioters, who short time since
made base and unprovoked attack
upon the Montgomery Guards, while
on duty, and which the wing editors,
particularly their correspondents were
disposed to justify, because the corps
was composed Of Irishmen, were on
Monday, sentenced by Judge Thatcher
to three years imprisonment in the
House of Correction. The following
paragraph we take from the Judges
remarks to the prisoners previous to
passing the sentence.
"From the personal injuries which
hegentlemen ofthiscorps thus suffered,
they were happily restrained by the
prudence Of their officers from making
any return but that Of patience and for
bearance. But it cannot be forgotten,
that you did all in your power to close
the pageantry Of that day with scene
Of blood. Is il to be understood that
when citizens are called to perform .
military duty, they are to be subjected
to the insults Of 4 british mob2 Had
these soldiers, in the absence Of other
protection, defended themselves with
the arms which the corntry had put
into thir hands, and the thoughtless as
sailant fallen in the rencontre, an in-
denen%ent ;,,rv nf their fellow citizens

10 THOMAS STONE.

TO THOMAS STONE.
MouNr VEhNox, Feb. 6, 1887.
DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 3Oth
ultimo came duly to hand. To give
an opinionin case Of 50 much impor-
lance As that which has warmly agita-
ted the two branches Of your Legisla-
ture, and which, from the appeal that
IS made, is likely to create great, and
perhaps, dangerous divisions, is rather
d delicate matter; but As this diversity
Of opinion IS on subject which has, l
believe, occupied the minds of most
men. and as my sentiments thereon
have been fully and decidedly express
ed long before the Assembly either Of
Maryland or Of this State was conyen-
ed, / do not scruple to declare that, il
/ had voice in your Legislature, it
would have been given decidedly a.
gainst a paper emission, upon the
general principles Of its inutility as a
representative and the necessity Of it
as medium.
To assign reasons for this opinion,
would be as unnecessary 40 tedious.
The ground has been 80 eften trod, that
hardly place remains untouched; in
4 word, the necessity arising from the
want Of specie isrepresented as great
er than it reallysis. Icontend that it
is by the substance, and not 6y the
shadov Of a thing, that we are to be
benefited. The wisdom Of man, in
my humble opinion, cannot, at this
time, devise plan by which the cred
It Of paper money would be long
supported; consequently, depreciation
keeps pace with the quantity Of the
emission, and articles for which it is
exchanged rise in greater ratio than
the sinking value Of the money
Wherein, then, is the farmer, the plan
ter, the artisan, benefited? The debt
or may be, because, as ! observed, he
gives the shadow instead Of the sub
stance; and, in proportion to his gain,
the creditor or the body polite suffers.
Whether it be legal tender or not, it
will, as has been observed truly, leave
no alternative. It must be that or no.
thing. An evil equally great, is the
door it immediately opens for specu-
lation, by which the least designing,
and, perhaps, most valuable part Of
the community, are preyed upon by
the more knowing and crafty specula-
tors.
But contrary to my intention and
declaration, am offering reasons in
support Of my opinion-reasons, too,
which, Of all others, are least pleasing
to the advocates for paper money. !
shall, therefore, only observe general
~, that 50 many pen1,is have suffered
by the former emissions, that, like a
burnt child who breads the fire, no per-
son will touch it who can possibly a.
void it; the natural consequence Of
which will be, that the specie which
remains unsupported will be locked up.
With great esteem and regard,
] am, dear sir, etc.
GEORGE WASHINGTON.

designs Of til. miscreants. The plan
resolved upon by the negroes, was to,
kill all the white males, and save the
females and children. Some Of the
leaders. however, the two parties quar-
relied upon hispointamong themselves.
This disagreement contributed to frus.
trate their internal designs.
Mr.. Compton having discovered
that one Of his slaves was principal
actor in the contemplated insurrection
had him arrested and tried. He wa
convicted, and under the gallows con-
fessed that it was his intention to muir

Onthe 10th and l2thult, nine Others
were convicted and hung, and thirty
