GsN. JACKSON AND HIS TAILoR.--The South
ern Chronicle tells the following good story !:
After the termination Of The Seminole cam
paign, Gen. Jackson visited Washington city,
and during his stay there, having occasion 10
supply himself with a neither. garment, EN-.
ployed a fashionable tailor named Ballard 10
make it. Ballard, who was very pompons
little fellow and very fond of being recognised
by great men who had been his customers, a
few days after he had finished the unmention-
ables, seeing the General in front of Tenni-
sons Hotel in conversation with some gentle
men, stepped up and spoke 10 him. The Cen
eral thinking him some distinguished indvid-
uai, very cordially gave him his hand, but no,
remembering him, in whisper eDquired his
name, for the purpose Of introducing him 10
the company To which Ballard replied, ]. j
made your breeches." The General. deceived
by the sound, Immediately turned to the com.
pany aud introduced him as Major Byeeehe,
- title poor Ballard was Afterwards obl,c.
ell to wear TO the day of his death.

a y e;U Negro y alton.

From an extract published in the Albany
Argus, and derived from the narrative OF Mr..
Wilson, a Missionary in Africa, we learn that
he has discovered nation Of Philippians new
er before seen or described by a white man.
Mr.. Wilson is stationed on the Gdboon river,
which empties into the Atlantic about twenty
miles north Of the equator.
The mission is al the mouth Of the river,
but, having fine opportunity, MIR. Wilson
accompanied Toxic. distinguished negro mer-
chant. up The Gaboon and its tributary, the
Big Orombo, to kobangal's town, 50 miles
from the ocean, on the BawKe, branch Of the
Big Orombo. This was as far up the river
as he assembled. While there he met with a
new nation OF Africans. some Of whom were
satd 10 come five days journey from the ute-
rior that is from TWO to four hundred miles
from he sea coast He calls them the PAN
GwF people. because they come from the d.
yartar n which Country OF that name lies.
l he distance from the coast indicates that
a-'hsy come from Ethiopia; and possibly this
people may spread owe: that vast unknown
region OF Africa.
The existence and use OF iron Of ll,eir own
manufacture seems very remarkable, ard, PHI
losophefs would say, indicates an advanced
state Of civilization; for it is known that
baybarous or savage people never have iron of
their own manufacture until it has been FIRST
introduced by the whites. The non.existcnce
Of slavery and the slave trade among them
shows feature still more distinctive from the
ordinary African.
We are furnished by the Argus with the
following passage from the journal of MIR.
Wilson;
During our soiourn in this place we me,
with number Of men entirely different in
their features and general appearance from
those in this part of the country, some of whom
were said 10 have como five, and others ten or
twelve days journey from the interior
They were on visit 10 this part Of the coun-
try, which is as near TO the sea coast as they
have ventured. Hearing of US at this place,
they came in considerable numbers to see a
white man and old Toxic, one of whom was as
much an object Of curiosity as the other.
Those OF whom We saw. both men and wo.
men, were vastly superior in their persona,
appearance TO the mara,ime tribes, and if they
may be regarded as fair specimen Of the il
people, should have no hesitation in pro.
nouncing them the finest whom have eve,
met with. They wear no clothing, except a
piece of cloth made Of the inner bark Of a Tree
This is fastened around the loins by cord
Nor do they covet cloth. On the other hand
'hey jcer the bushmen in this region by tellin,
them that they wear cloth 10 conceal their nor

willing to give away anything they had for
the smallest quantity Of either Of these. They
represented their country as mountainous and
healthy, and affirm that cutaneous and many
other diseases, common to the maratime re-
gions, are unknown among them. They have
never participated in the slave trade. and re-
gard il, as is by no mean, unnatural IN their
circumstances, with the utmost adherence.
One or two instances are known where they
have visited attempts to enslave their people

fine the limits and extent of their country.
Perhaps the most westerly border Of what is
known as the Pangwe territory. and possibly
spread itself over large portion Of the south

immensely populous; but could not learn
that they had any very large or powerful or

slave trade, must inevitably be suppanted.'

THE subscribers have the pleasure of announ.
cling to their numerous friends and customers that
they have now on hand large supply of the above
pOughs of this years manufacture, which, owing to
the change of times we are enabled to offer at great
y reduced prices.
From the liberal encouragement extended to us
last year by the sale of 1000 Of these plouehs
and the universal satisfaction they gave, we were
induced to spair pains in selecting the very best
OF materials, and employing the best mechanical
skill in their construction. The consequence has
been that we have produced results that are highly
satisfactory to ourselves, and must be to those who
purchase Of Us. We have now a plough which is
so well adapted to SOIL that it sets all competi-
ton at defiance. For the information OF thouse
acquainted with its construction, will offer this
brief explanation: The whole surfece of the plough
is ground smooth. The mould-board is made of
wrought iron. The shear Of steel, (which is at
tached to the mould-board by three small boIts,) so
that it is easily taken off by means Of the cevis.pin,
to be repaired or replaced by new one. The shape
of the mould-board is constructed strictly scien-
tic principles so that it scours perfectly bright in
the most loose and loamy SOIL which is in truth the
great dissderatum in this section of the country; as
it thereby enables team to accomplish at least
third more work in day, with far greater case and
in much better manner, than with one that will
not scour This every practical man knows With
in the part year have received the warmest testi
monials in regard to them from hundreds Of our
practical men who have them in use and st the St
Louis County Agricultural socicty's Fair, held in
October last we were trial and awarded the pre-
MUM. Also diploma a: the Fair OF the Mechan-
les Institute held in this city in November last. But
the best evidence of their superiority to all others
now in use, is the fact that no farmer who has used
them WILL for any considerations make nsc Of any
other. We have reduced the price al retail for cash
in hand to 50 rs for the two horse ploughs, VIII
iron strap for the beam, and 81 IS for the one hor
ploughs. liberal discount made to those wi O
