COMMUNICATED

Mr.. EDrroR: 1t having been our lot to take
passage at Buffalo, for Southport, on board the
Steamboat Great Western, Capt Walker feel
called upon to express our highest satisfaction with
the boat and its management. The boat is certain
ly a superior one, its conyenences are, good both
for cabin and Storage passengers, and the fare eX
Celcnt And it has never been our fortune to travel
on any Of the great thoroughlarcs of our country
where more pains has been taken to make travellers
comfortable and travelling pleasant. And we think
any one must be extremely particular who after a
passage on the Great Western, is disposed to find
fault in any respect 1--WE were gongto say, )but there
is one exception, which our feelings prompt lis to
make, and that is with regard to that abomination
of abomlnations, that sickenng drug, Tobacco
which has unfortunately fourd its way on board as
it has in most other places: but as this is not the
fault Of the officers at all, we shall overlook 1t the
next Journey we wish to take on the lakes. BY the
way feel called upon to express similar salts
faction with the entertainment of "Mne Host of
the Temperance House at Southport; and we are
glad to find that 50 large a number of the travellers
10 this region are disposed to favor the cause of
temperance by patronizng this housc;we as
sure our friends that no better entertainment can
b. found And it is interesting to how rapidly
the principles of temperance increasing with
the population of thus region; special indication
OF which are the numerous entertainment houses
kept on temperance principles. One we would
mention is. that of our friend Folsom, the Bur
lmgton road, II miles from Southport, where We
had occasion to stop few days. Mr.. Folsom Is
situated in the midst of a rapidly increasing neigh
borhood and we think for the good Of his neighbour
hood as we'll as ravelershe has commenced on right
principles And we trust that the same principles
may bc predominant wherever entertainment
house is necessary for the accommodation OF trav-
etrs. Yours &c.
S B. DANFORTH, and others.

0TPrint'ng by electricity is said 10 be
almost accomplished. Mr.. Alexander Balm,
a native Of Scotland, boldly proclaims that
he can print any number OF copies Of a
newspaper, at any distance from his office
by means Of wires electromagnetic. AS
Mr.. Balm has invented a clock and tele-
graph on similar principles, the scientific
are very ready to believe good deal Of
what be says.

II The Combination has placed the 5. &. Gen.
Scott on the route between Green Bay and NIaci-
&C, or the purpose Of running if possible the trade
Of Northern Wisconsin, or at least preventing en-
Igradon to this section OF the Territory. We I'M
derstand that the boat left Detroit very quietly in
order to prevent any passengers from coming to
Green Bay. She arrived here yesterday afternoon
with fewer passengers than any boat ever brought
to this port, within our recollection. This is cha
racterstic of the enmity the Combination bear to-
ward this town. We hope if the Gen. Scott con-
tnucs to ply between this port and Aacinac, our
citizens will in preference, patronise their own sail
ing craft, rather than be imposed upon in this man

Selling White Nen.-The Spartansburg
rs. c. Journal of the 9th inst. says: The
disgusting spectacle of offering two white
men for sale. under the sanction Of the law,
was exhibited in our town on last sale day.
The gentleman were bid off at e IA cents
each, BY their friends,and thus the full
plenalty of the law was paid"

Frcahs Of LiglmRg.-The Barn of De
Witt Parshall, Esq, Of this village, was
struck by lightning on Monday of last week.
The fluid struck the north east corner of
the barn, and dividing. part fit descended

entered the barn at the south side, where
there wasastove and pipe-herc also split
ing the post and sills and tearing off the
clap boards, There was quantity Of hay
and straw in the barn, bat they were not
injured \ hen,the only occupant Of the
barn at this particular time, was killed, the
fluid tearing off the fathers as nicely as any
good old grandmother could have done it in
a much longer space of time. Feathers.

a protection against lightning, are not in

poor hen. The tin conductor that convey

REPUTATION REP, DATED. The fol-
sowlrg resolutions have been passed by
nQn branches Of The Legislature of ILL
I.ris:
Resolved, By the House ofRepresenla-
tive, the Senate concurrlng therein, That
we fully recognise the legal and moral
obligation of discharging, with puncluali-
,y, every deb, contacted by any aulhorz
ed agent or agents of this State for good
and valuable consideration, and tina, the
revenues and resources of :he State shall
be appropriated for that purpose as soon
as they can be made available, without
impoverishing and depressing the people.
Resolved, That our failure hitherto to
meet our obligations has not arisen from
my intention OH the part of the Legisla-
ture, or any respectable portion of the
people, to repudiate or envade these obi
cations, and that we utterly delest and
abhor the reputation of just debts, by
States or individuals, as miserable, dis
honorable. and destructive OF public and
private character.
