ens and pursuing the wild phantom of personal ag-
grandizemcnt and President making, with fury bor-
dering on madness, direct their whole power and
force against the Chief Magistrate of the nation and
threaten to overturn our whole system of government
in their desire TO be reyenged upon Mr. Tyler, be-
cause he would not consent to their infamous
schemes and complottings
Considerations like these ought to have sufficient
weight and we are sure will have with the friends
of the administration to unite Immediately and to d.
rect their influences and power to the sustainment of
the President Nay, they ought to arrest the atten-
ton of the unprecedented and urge him to throw aside
the garb Of neutrality put the of the peo-
pies party, and come up to the rescue. The neces-
sity therefore, of immediate union Of the friends
of the administration in this city and State, ought to
arouse them from their lethargy and bring them to
think of the best means of cooperation in the support
OF the cause we advocate
On this point we shall speak tomorrow.

In Ex |, all the decimal parts have been retained,
but two places the right of the line are sufficient as
in Elk. 3
The basis Of the above computation is as follows
The interest of $500 for 100 days is 1918 therefore

the multiplication Of four places is tedious, and
examination we find the work can be abridged. lst.
The product by is 1857, which multiply by g.,
and as ls factor of 49, multiply the last product

Hence, having an easy method for finding 100 days
interest on any amount we can of course take any
other number decimally thus, if SO days, we multi
ply by and 6, extending the units of each product to
Its proper place, either in enths hundredths Hence
one hundred days u.s. on this account obviously pre-
ferab'e to 60 or any other number.
The method of throwing out the decimal places
to the right is not new, but as it conveys de-
finite idea Of the nature of those fractions, and is
IN many cases means Of abrldgng the operation,
think it deserves the preference in teaching. If
pupils commence this way, they will never ADAM
don it.
The abridgement obtained by the factors in the
multplier is worthy the notice Of those who dislike
long sums in multiplication 1t is seldom used, be-
cause 1t requires some practice to avoid committing
errors.

There is, however, error in the above method
of computation Of $4,000 of cent for every ST. 900

it is therefore necessary to deduct this fraction,

From the Sapannah Georgian.

Our position as nation is at this moment pecu-
liar and critical. For several years. matters of diff
ference OF various kinds have originated between
this country and England, by which a rupture of
peace has frequently been threatened and our ami
cable relations essentially jeoparded The Boun-
Diary Question, the Mcleod affair, the right offs search,
and now the Creole case, but the mere promi-
nent points ofopposition by which we have been
ced Several OF these topics are still unsettled nor
can we tell how they will be adjusted the more
try to agree, the really differ until it
almost, that nothing but war can make us friends
again. However these dsputations may ultimate,
one thing certain, that not prepared for war,
and that war to u.s. at this tme would be highly pre-
judicial and ruinous The various alarms this head
from time to time, and the belligerant spirit occasion
ally evidenced across the water have aroused Con-
gress to few spasmodic efforts, towards preparing
for this emergency but they have only ultimated in
small Home squadron, two steamers, and few
promotions that justice long ago demanded and then
the party wars of Congress- have been carried on
with as much disgracefu hostility ever, while the
country has been forgotten. An increase of the
army has been called for-no action has been had
upon it ; a reform of the navy has been promised
it is promise still
Our coast defences are in wretched condition and
loudly call for aid-they call in vain; and while all
these things have been suffered to be thrown by, or
poposed hundreds of thousands of dollars have been
literally squandered in useless and contentious legs-
laon; productive Of good to the country but
rather hxing upon 1t stigmas which 1t will require
years OF patriotism to efface 1t does indeed seem
strange that such almost fabulous legislation should
be permitted when the necessities of the country de-
mand prompt and efficient aid
I'VE really prepared for war; we should COM
mand more respect abroad and possess more conf
dence at home. We should not be tempered with as
we are; our interests would not be as wantonly as
sailed should we be kept in state of excitement
dreading on the one hand, and yet appealing to
it on the other. Most sincerely do hope that this
ultima ratio kings will not be necessary; but whe
Their resorted to not, honor and respect to
say nothing of security demands immediate ac-
ton on the naval and military condition of the

1t frequently happens that this can be thrown
out by cancelling from the right of the line This
correction keeps the error less than one cent, until
the principal exceeds half million of dollars.
With respect to the of universal multpliers or
divsors, may | venture word of dissent from your
ingenious contributor to the last months NUMBER so
far relates to his absolute denuncaton of all such
modes of computing per cent trust the above is
at least example of their utility; and further
more, may add, that have already prepared table
of muplers, in which the error is always kept be-
low cent, and the same table shows at a glance

1868 days, together with universal multiplier fol
per cent interest, am not without hope of bringing
them into favor.
With respect to the computation of 6 per cent. in
teres for $50 days, would suggest the following as
practical method ii will obviate the necessity OF
taxing the mind for the various combinations OF all
quot parts, which, however useful as intellectual dis
cipne, are opIo sed to the simplicity we aim at for
practical calculations viz to give not only the shortest
process but the requiring the least scientific at

SCHOONER MARY CARvER.-On
Thursday we published brief paragraph
relative to the massacre ofthe captain and
crew of this vessel, by the natives at Beri-
bay, on the Western coast of Africa. The
following farther particulars are copied
from the Baltimore Sun of yesterday.-N.
Y. Spec.
On Saturday last we had an interview
with Mr.. John Watson, mate of tie brig
Harriet, Capt. Champion, last from Cape
Measurable, and now in this port; and
from him we learn that on the ooh of
April last, the schooner Mary Carver,
Capt. FarwelI, Of Plymouth. Massachu-
sets, mot Maine as reported) was at Beri-
bay, trading village on the west coast OF
Africa, inhabited by natives of very saw
age character.
No dispute had occurred, as previously
reported, between Captain Farwell and
the natives; but they induced him to come
ashore TO see some camwooG, which they
| proposed to sell to him. o. reaching the
shore he was treacherously seized, and
delivered over to the tender mercies ofthe
women and children. Having been strip
ped of his clothing he was tied to tree,
pelted with stones by the women and
children. beaten with pestles and clubs,
and otherwise brutally tortured.
He begged his life attheir hands on &C
\ count of his absent wife and child, but ths
ruthless savages had no ears for his entreat
J les. They attached stone to his person BY
suspending it from his neck, put him int
a canoe, put off from the beach and dellb
era,ely flung him overheard, when h.
sank to rise no more. The vessel wa
then beached and plundered by the NUT
derous villains.
4 While this scene was enacted on shore
more extensive tragedy on board tn
) schooner was going on. The men OF tn
tribe boarded her and murdered the entir
, crew, one who had fed aloft being com
: PEELED to descend, when he was deliberate
iy put to death. They then returned o
{ shore, informed the captain Of their sar
culinary proceedings, with the addltlons
, information that they wonld complete th
:, massacre by killing him also.
