/, The last Dan,lle Inteligencer is out a
gainst our old democratic friend and mail
contractor, Weaver Of Pousville, because
he obtained the carrying of ihe mail be-

is the matter Is the Editor or his master
about TO become joint propretors with their
good whig friend Potts in carrying the mail
between Puttsyille and Danville, or has a
late secrect base transaction become known
at head quarters, and consequently the in.

T.ENERTX POLES.

On the 4th of July the Young Wings OF
this town having raised Pine Pole with
a flag upon which was inscribed Harrison
and Liberty, Van Buren and Slavery" our
Young Democrats, not willing to have
motto, 80 opposite to truth, floating in the
air Of our democratic village, without an
an,ido,e, raised splendid hickory tree by
iis side, with flag upon which was nscrl5-
ed {" Van Buren and Liberty, Harrison and
Slavery" They thus stood, side by side,
until Monday last, when during a slight
wind, the Harrison Pole, unable to resist
evenihe action Of ganlel breeze, snaptin
twain, and down it came, bringing with it,
the desecrated flag, and both landed in the
mud, while the hickory still reared its lofty
head, in proud defiance Of even the eIe-
ments. This was sore thing for the wings,
and ii was not TO be endured. On Wednes-
day night, some full grown whig boys
smarting under chagrin at the fate of theil
pine sapling, boared hole into the hicIsry,
charged it with powder, and discharged it.
When 10, and behold they had the nortif
cation of seeing the tough old hickory still
standing upharmed, and looking down upor
them with defiance and contempt at the
puerile attempt to destroy it, and with the
proud consc'ousnes'of representing the feel
ings and wishes Of three four!hs of the free
men OF Columbia county.

CONTINENT.

CONTINENT.
Amongst the arrivals 10 be found in orr
shipping list of this day, is that Of the Uni
ted States ship Vincennes, under the com.
mand Of Charles Wilkes, Esq. The V. has
been absent from this port eighty days, most
of which time has been spent in southern |
exploration, and we are happy to have 1t ir
our power TO announce, on the highest au-
thority, tina, the researches of the exploring |
squadron after southern continent have
been completely successful. The land was
FIRST seen on the morning of the 10Th of
January, in latitude Go ~, south longitude
l54o l6 east.
The Peacock, (Which ship arrived in onr
harSor on the 22d ulumo, much disabled
from her contact with the ice,) we learn, lob
tanned soundings in high southern latitude,
and established beyond doubt the exis-
,ence of land in that direction. But the V.
more fortunate in escaping injury, complet-
ed the discovery, and ran down the coast
from the 81 deg. Is min, TO 07 deg. 45
min. east longitude, about seventeen hun
dred miles, within short distance Of the
land, otter 50 near as to get soundings with
few fathoms of line, during which time
she was constantly surrounded by ice is
lands and bergs, and experienced many hea-
Wy gales Of wind, exposing her constantly
to shpwreck.
We also understand she has brought sew
eraI specimens Of rock and earth, procured
from the land, some Of them weighing up
wards of hundred pounds, 1t is question
able whether this discovery can be of any
essential benefit TO commerce, but it cannot
be otherwise than highly gratifying to Cap
tain Wilkes, and the officers engaged with
him in this most interesting expedition, to
have brought to a successful termination tn,
high trust committed to them by their coun.
try; and it is hoped that SO noble com
mencement in the cause Of science and dis
covery, will induce the government o
the United States 10 follow up by other ex
pedilions that which is now on the point o
terminating.
We understand that the Vincennes will
sail on the 18th inst. for New Zealand
where the Porpoise and Flying Fish vii
rejoin her, should they have been equally
fortunate with their two consorts in escapin!
from the ice, The Peacock will follow a
soon as her repairs are completed; whence
they will all proceed in furherance of tn
objects of the expedition. We will onl,
add, that we wish them God speed.
