MIR. CLAY AT ASHLAND.

The Rev. DR.. Humphreys, President OF
Amherst College, Mass, who is travelling
through the Western States, gives the
following interesting picture Of the great
Orator Of the West, as he appears in the
Republican simplicity of his delightful
farm:
Happening to meet, and TO be introduced
10 Mr.. Clay in the morning; he very polite:
ly invited US to call at his seat, mile and
a half out of town, which we did ut four
o'clock. He received US with oil the ease
and urbani,y for which he is so much dis
,ingulshed, and entered freely into CONVEX
salon upon variety of topics as they
happened 10 come up. 1t is delightful 10
find great man so perfectly atfable and
unaffected ; and indeed this s one mark OF
Irue greatness.
Ashland is an enchanting spot. ihe
mansion is simple, spacious and venerable
Standing just on the border Of park oi
eighty acres. which for the ma jesty and
beauty of its thousand forest trees, IS the
finest ever saw. Mr.. Clay has two other
woodland pastures, and in all something
like 800 acres in his farm. He has inefy
turned his attention very much TO raising
stock, and it is said that no man IN Ken.
lucky. even, can show you finer oxen and
cows lhan he can. He spent an hour in
walking with US over his grounds, and dc.
tainrd us, almost unpercepibly to ourselves,
till nearly sundown.

F LO RI D A.

We copy the following from the Tallahassee
Floridian of the 22d ut.
The extract of letter from Mr.. Poinssett
to citizen of this Territory, affords satisfac-
tory evidence that the Government has resov.
ed that under no circumstances shall the Sc.
mnoles be suffered to remain permanently in
Florida. The Washington Metropolis, pa
per supposed to be IN the confidence of the
Administration, edited by Judge T. J: Smith,
lately of this Territory. confirms this determl-
nation of the Executive, by information de-
rived from "undoubted authority" So far so
good. We learn Governor Call has not been
officially informed of the views of the Govern
men, since Gen. Macomb's arrangement.
Sir-I take the liberty of requesting the pub.
lication ofthe enclosed extract from letter from
the Secretary a, War, which places the arrange.
mcnt made by Macomb in its true light 1t clear
" shews that the Administration have no idea
Of substituting the armistice made by Gen.
Mscomb for the Treaty of Paync's Landing:
1--WE must expect hostil.ties TO be partially
continued for short period after an armistice
bus, am of opinion that the arrangement made
bv Gen. Macomb will lead TO the Paciticat!on
of the country and enable me to remove the In
dams from the Territory much sooner than can
be done by force" -

HORRIBLE.

Yesterday morning whole crowd Of
,eope were collected in front Of a house in
From. street, below Market, their counter.
ances indicating the most painful and in.
tense anxiety. We looked up, and on the
roof of house beheld small boy creeping
from ,,e dormant window, down towards
the spout, in order to catch little pet bird
that, released from It's felters, haa taken re.
fuge in that apparently inaccessible 5! s!oos.
He had gotten abou, half way when teaT
overcame him. He advanced a tIle more.
We held Oar breaths and closed our teeth
with excessive sympathy. Another step,
and u convulsive shudder ran through the
crowd. the bird moved q little further.
The boy made one unsuccessful grasp-and
The boy, horrible 10 relate, fell--lnto the
hands ofhls father, who pulled him in the
win Iow by the bree.hes, and severely whip

NEW GUN.

We were shewn, few days since, a
newly invented Gun, which, as far as we
were able to judge of the merits Of such
death.dealing implements, is the most in
genlous and effective we have ever seen or
heard Of. 1t has received the name Of the
Torpedo. and was invented by Mr.. B. F.
Smith, OF South Hadley, Mass. and made
in that town. 1t is so constructed that the
cartridge, which contains the powder, ball, or
shot, aud wadding in their proper ORDER is
inserted in chamber at once. and in mo
ment of time; and the discharge is pro-
duced by percussion, the result of rod or
piston driven forcibIy through cap 20 the
powder in the chamber. With such facility
is the process carried on, that the piece can
be charged and discharged ten times in a
minute, or once in six seconds. The ma.
chiuery connected with the gun is entirely
hidden from sight, l. is said 10 be perfectly

The ST. Louis Republican states that gold

1--WE arc told that number oflumps OF the
same kind have, al different times, been

knowing what metal it was, it has hereto

not informed whether the indications are
such as to justify The expectation that it ex'

Female Institute. s<

HyHE increased share of public attention
which the subject of Female Education mas
recently received, and the lively interest which Is
.eginning TO be felt in its behalf are encouraging
signs Of future improvement. The System whlch
has long obtained in our country, is to be
ted is radically defective in that almost exclusive
attention is paid to the ornamental to the neglect
Of that which is of primary Importance. This
desideratum, it has been the effort Of Mrs. Greef,
the principal ofthe Rockingham Female Institute
TO an pplv and the result Of the recent examina-
tion which we had the pleasure Of attending,
nrovas that it was not without success. In this
institution the culture of the mind is the cardinal
object of attention and greater importance is
attached 10 the formation OF habits OF Close
Thought and protracted mental effort by which
the mind is endued with strength, vigosr ana
elasticity, than 10 any given amount o. eisaS
information gathered up in the "store mouse "

The committee having attended the recent ex.
animation, take pleasure in expressing the satls-
faction they felt in witnessing the interesting
exercises. We feel no hesitancy in pronouncing
it equal, if not superior. to any examination OF
the kind we ever before witnessed; and the
readiness and accuracy with which answers were
given to the questions propounded,. and the

On the Evening OF the same day we were
highly entertained with the performances ofthe
