The FooTS OF THE RArIDs.--This point
seems to be gsining ground in the estimation
of those who are unprejudiced in their opin-
ions in regard TO the different places upon the
Maumee river. The lie which. is daily and
hourly thrown back upon the slanderers Of
this stream, is beginning to be felt both by the
defamers themselves, and by those who have
stood neutral and enquiring in the controver-
sy. When from two to six steamboats,, Of all
sizes, from the diminutlve coaster, to the no
bic ship capable Of buffeting the mountain
waves Of the great inland seas Of North Amer
ica, arrive daily at the Foot of the Rapids,
and depart safely, without delay upon their
voyages, he must be most abandoned wretch
who would deny the navigability of the Maui
NEE river to Maumee and Perrysburg. Whep
the river is white with sails, from the Foot
Of the Rapids to its mouth, the observer can
hardly be induced to believe that all these
things come by accident, and that they cap
never occur again. The truth is, that peopie
are beginning to believe the testimonyPo
their own eyes, rather than the slanders OF
interested spectators, and anonymous corres-
pondents to distant newspapers. Last year,
when the tides Of population and goods were
rolling on their course to the greatswest, by
the way of the Foot of the rapids--wben boats
of all sizes were daily visiting tbat place,
deeply laden with valuable cargoes, it was
said, it would not be SO this years The lake
is high, this season, said the defamers Of the
river, but only wait for next year, and then
see. The next year is come, and the lake is
foot lower shan its ordinary Jewel, and still
the boats come. And comea they can and
will, let the lake be high or low, and it will
standing refutation Of the slanderers and
their stories, SO that if they must still continue
to tell falsehoods, they can have the satisfac-
ton of doing it with their eyesopen, and with
the proof of their mendacity staring them in
the face.

exhibit the true cause Of that failure
which has shaken Buffalo to its centre,
and has been felt from east 10 west
throughout the northern and western
states. Benz. Rathbun was devoured
by usury. Whether the letters afford
any evidence against him is doubtful
1t seems to us, however, that we have
seen all Of them, most of which, readers
wouid arise from the perusal Of them
with the impression. that if Rathbun is
not an honest man, his letters at least,
furnish no evidence against him.

issThere seems to be Western fever raging
in some parts Of our State. We learn from
the Augusta Age, that company is about
being formed in that town, to make arrange
mentA for emigrating west" And the New
Yorh Herald says, that "great numbers Of
merchants, mechanics, lawyers and loafers,
arepreparing to leave New York for the West,
thie spring. The loqfers we are not over
anxious about receiving, unless the lawyers
who are to accompany them, will agree to
|Eake them under their own particular charge.
But, as we said at the commencement Of this
article, what is the West coming to Prophe-
by y out of the question, and the day ofmira-
cles is said to be past; therefore, it lis imposs-
BILE for us to solve the problem. The people
of the East regard the giant strides we are
making towards becoming mighty nation Of
ourselves, with a jealous eye. /" We doubt
the wisdom of this movements" says the Port
land Advertiser, in the same article from
which we made the above extract !" Emf
grants will find that the pleasures of emigra-
tion are rather more in anticipation than real-
ty. Maine abounds with the means of living,
and living WELL. The expenses of moving
west would give man something substantial,
which well taken care of at home, would also
give him comfortable support through life. %
This reminds us of an article we read some
months since in, the Westminster Review, in
which the editor endeavors to persuade Brit
ish emigrants, that they will find it much more
to their advantage to settle in the Canadas,
than in the United States. AS proof Of bis
argument, he informs his readers that the price
of wheat in Illinois. is but three shillings per
bushel; whereas, in Montreal, it is worth as
much as it is in New York. Perhaps the learn
ed editor of the Westminster Review was not
aware ofthe fact that it is as easy to raise three
bushels of wheat in Illinois, as it is one in
Canada; and perhaps the editor of the Port
land Advertiser is not aware that the soil and
climate Of Maine are somewhat similar to that
of his British neighbor. We think the people
| of Maine need not complain of hard times, if
"the expenses of moving to the West would
give man something substantial, which, we'll
taken care Of at home, would also give him a
comfortable support through life, )" for we can
inform all who intend to come to this country,
that if they calculate to die in any kind of sea-
son, it will cost them more than their expenses
here, to support them through life.

( A NEW INVENTIONS Charles 0lcott, Esq.
of Washington, in this state, has published a
pamphlet, containing specifications Of a new
ly invented mode of building ships, for which
he has procured patent. The invention
consists in constructing water craft Of oil
kinds, from hooker Of a few tons, to the larg-
est ship of war that navigates the ocean, en-
tirely Of iron, or any other metal. The frames
OF the vessels are to be cast and the covering
rolled iron, bolted upon the frames. The
masts and spars to be tubes ofrolled iron, ta-
perng properly, and the rudder to be an iron
plate, cast of the proper dimensions. The
rigging is to be composed of iron chains, con-
structed of the proper size and shape but
whether the sails are to be constructed of the
same durable material, we have not learned.

or HoAxINo through the newspapers seems
to have become quite fashionable. The long
story in our last paper, respecting the arrival
of large Geological collection at Boston, from
Africa, turns out to be hoax; and the more
incredible delneation of the removal of an
electric eel from mans stomach, published
by us two weeks since, is also false. Another
hoax has been perpetrated at Boston, in the
report of the loss of the ship Jubilee, of Dux-
bury, the particulars of which we have not
seem. But the most ridiculous and despicable
hoax Of all, is one which we saw published
IN the columns of the N. Y. Evangelist, and
purported to be an extract from letter receiv-
ed from some friend at Perrysburg. This let
ter, after stating the particulars Of revival of
religion, which never took place, and Of a
large accession to the church, which never.
was made, goes on to draw debasing picture
of the morals of the population, representing
q state Of irreligion and infdelity, such as
never did exist in Perrysburg. The whole
detail is too disgustingto publish, and too false
to have been written with honest intentions.
The writer ought to be exposed.

The MONEY MARKEr.-There is yet no ap-
pearance ofreliefin money matters. The fat
tering news of to-day,is regularly dashed by
the evil tidings of tomorrow. Hope fingers
in the breasts ofsome who still, in spite of the
daily disasters and failures occurring on all
sidess predict speedy relief. The failures in
New York are nearly $50, and the difficulties
under which commercial men labor, are be-
coming greater and greater A horrid apa-
thy is creeping over the souls of the hitherto
honest and laborous, and spirit of fatasm
pervades the breasts of those who see their
friends failing around without the power, Ell
ther to rescue them or to preserve themselves
from like overthrow. Bankruptcy, like a
plague, is sweeping over the land, overthrow
ing in its progress the honest as well as the
dishonest, and the careful man of business as
well as the headlong speculator. The fruits of
years of untiring care and unrenitting indus
try are torn away in moment, and the regu-
lar and the irregular, the honest and d;shon-
est, the man of capital and the needy specula-
tor, are alike hurled into the same abyss of de-
struction. The merchants of the principal
cities of the United States, however, sustain
themselves nobly. They consider the press
ure in money affairs as great national ca
lamity-one of SO much Importance as should
effectually cause the postponement ofall minor
affairs, to the grand and noble undertaking of
sustaining the great commercial interests of
the country.

FROM FLoRiDA.-'rhe Charleston Mercury
of the 9th inst. received by express mail
contains adviccs from st. Augustine to the
J st inclusive. II they may be relied Oh, We
are likely to be entertained with new act
of the tragico. farce of the Florida war. .
An express had come in from Fort Mellon,
with intelligence that a large number Of ne
groes had arrived nj that post, who reported
that the Indians had held a general election,
deposed Micanopy, and Installed Sam Ionss,
alias Abiaca, AS the head chief Of the Sc vcral
tribes, and that at the mex, new moon they
would resume hos,ilnics. This; the inform
ant of the Mercury adds, is onlya negro story,
to be sure, but then, he says, the negro sto-
rlcs have been always found true, in the end;
and besides it seems TO be the general in,-
preston in that quarter, that the Indians are
IN no mind to emigraie, ut all events until the
summer is over, and that the termination of
the war Is by no means an assured matter.
The posts Of Vousa aud Fort Mellon are
said to be growing unhealthy, as the sumner
comes on. All the forces had been with
drawn from the former, except u srrgeant's
guard and one company OF Creeks, and tho
guard is to be relieved every ten days from,
'icoiata. The garrison at For, Mellon will
be kept up.
