PRINCE n'1nrNvII.I.E.

Col Stone, of the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser, says that this Prince, with
all his repose of manner, is close obser
yer of men and things. He has travelled
through our country almost with the rapi-
dity of an express. And yet, says the
editor, we discovered that little on his va
rious routes that was worth seeing has es
capped his observation. He was delighted
with the Journey throughwhich he passed
from Philadelphia toPittsburg, and thence
to Niagara via Cleaveland and Lake Erie.
OF the scenery in the neighborhood Of
Pittsburg he spoke with delight, as he did
of the general beauty of the Western
country, regretting exceedingly that his
orders forbade visit to the more West
ern States--the country Of the great pra-
iries. But he hopes yet to perform that
tour.
In descending Lake Erie, he remarked,
in reference to the western march Of in
dustry and civilization, that he could not
but contrast the appearance of the coun-
try now, with what it must have been
when, only forty years ago, his father

He spoke of the enterprise of our peo-
pie with enthusiasm. "Why," said he,

Mountains and valleys are no obstacles.
You must literally run rail roads through
the air" This remark was in allusion to
some high entertainments. SIN ten years."

continent tie the Pacific by rail road and

In one word, the young Prince has been
delighted with his visit; and the charac-
ter Of our people and country. His age,
we believe, is twenty-three. He speaks
English with more than usual delibera-
ton, but with remarkable precision and
correctness.

IEssRs. EDIToRs:
We have some time since observed
With no little surprise, an article in the
Liberty Advocate, over the signature O.
8s'ZION HILL" the obvious object Of which
was to convey false--a wrong impress
sion to the public, concerning Mr.. 10th
ill's private character, and the part he took
in an affair betwixt Mr.. Gray and the PEG.
pie Of this settlement. Mr.. Tothill was
Gray's avowed, and we believe, real friend
but took no part in the matter. But the
real object was to injure the character Of
Mr.. Tothill, generally, particularly with
the people Of Zion Hill, it, however, has
proved an entire failure. As to the con.
tenton and difficulties that existed be
tween Mr.. Gray and the citizens of Zion
Hill, it, no doubt, was prolonged and ag-
grayated by those who interfere in what
is not their concern--meddler in other
peoples business. We are willing to dc
Mr.. Gray justice, and no doubt, he will, on
his part, do us the same. The excitement
on both sides was carried further than due
reflection or cool judgment would war.
rant.
As residents Of Zion Hill, it will be adj
mitted, that we know the feelings and
sentiments of the people--we hesitate not
to say, that as long as the Piney Woods
Planter is conducted with the spirit and
honest manly independence, that has
from its commencement characterised it;
ats editors will have our cordial and hear
1y support.

death speeds his shaft and wounds our peace

death speeds his shaft and wounds our peace :
DlED-On the evening of the 22d inst,
Mrs. AMANDA M. HAYNES, wife Of
Bythel Haynes, Esq, of Wilkinson county
The merited eulogy of the dead is obvi-
ously calculated to benefit the living, es-
pecially characters so replete with exem-
plary virtues as Mrs. Haynes was so we'll
known to be-suddenly snatched from
within the curtains of her husband, the
embrace of her children, and the affec-
tons of a large circle of friends; leaving
an aching void-vacuum; causing fixed
and melancholy gloom. In the circle of
her acquaintance the benevolence of Mrs.
Haynes was proverbial, where, in the Sc
vcral relations of neighbor, associate,
friend, parent, and wife--these excellen-
cies that have ever been and will ever be
admired most; which contribute most to
the good of society and mankind, and a.
bove all, and more than all, enhance the
loneliness of her sex; but
Like other tyrants, Death delights to smite,
Who smitten most proclaims the pride of
power,
And arbitrary nod

dence, in this county, Mr.. LOUIS JACK
SON.
