ORIGIN OF NANTUCkET.-As many OF
the citizens Of this Isle Of the Sea, may be
ignorant of its origin, or how it was form.
ed, we give below an Indian tradition,
which we believe to be- the truths If any
Of the present inhabitants Of the island can
prove it to be false we should te pleased
to hear from them.
On the West end os Martha's Vine
yard. are high cliffs Of variegated colored
earths. known by the name of Gay Head.
On the top Of the hill is a large cavity
which has the appearance OF the crater Of
an extingushed Volcano, and there are
evident marks of former subterraneous
h,es. Ehe Indians, who live about this
spot. have a tradition that certain Deity
resided there beforc the Europeans came
to America. that his name was Manshop,
that he used to step out on ledge Of
rocks, which ran into the sea, and take up
whale which he broiied for his own eat
ing IN the Goals Of the aforesaid volcano.
and often invited the Indians to dine with
him or gave them the relics of his meal.
That once t" show their gratitude to Man
shop for his very great kindness to them.
they made an offering to him Of all the
tobacco which grew upon the island for
one season. This was scarcely enough to
fill his great pc. bat he received the
present very eraciously, smoked his pipe
and turned out the ashes of it into the sea,
which formed the Island Of Nantucket.

America. Alanshop retired in disgust. and

WILMINGTON RAILROAD.-The Aurora
says
The travel on our Road does not dimin-
ish. On Wednesday last the company
found it necessary to employ an extra
Train. Much must be attributed to the
adjournment Of Congress, and the return
of southern merchants from the North. but
more we think to an increased confidence
in the safety Of The Route. and the accom-.
modating disposition of the officers.
