Letter of General washington.

At a recent meeting of the New York
Board Of Currency, the following letter
relative to currency written by General
Washington, was read
Mr. VERNON, February q, l787.
Dear Sir:--Yonr favor Of 30th ult
came duly to hand To give an opinion
in cause Of so much Importance as that
which has warmly agitated the two
branches of your Legislature, and which,
from the appeal that is made, is likely to
create great and dangerous divisions, is
rather delicate matter; but as this di
versity of opinion is on subject which
has, believe, occupied.the mindsIof, most
men, and as my sentiments thereon have
been fully and decidedly expressed long
before the Assembly, either of Maryland
or this State was convened, ! do not
scruple to declare that if had voice in
your Legislature it would have been
given decidedly against D. paper emission,
upon the general principle of its utility
as q representative and the pecessity,of it
as medium. To assign reason for this
opinion would be as unnecessary as tedi-
Gus; the ground has been SO often trOd
that a place hardly remains untouched;
in word, the necessity arising from a
want of specie is represented as greater
than it really is. 1 contend that it is by
the substance, not the shadow, Of q thing
that we are to be benefited.
The wisdom Of man, in my humble
opinion, cannot at this time devisea plan by
which the credit paper money would be
long supported; consequently depreciation
keeps pace with the quantity Of emission,
and articles for which it is exchanged
rise to greater ratio than the sinking
values of the money.-Wherein, then, is
the farmer, the planter and artisan benc-
fitted? The debtor may be, because, and
as | have observed, he gives the Shallow
in lieu of the substance, and in proper
tion to his gain the creditor or body politic
suffer. Whether legal tender or not, it
will, as has been observed very truly,
leave no alternative. 1t must be that or
nothing. An evil equally great is the
door it Immediately opens for speculation,
by which the least designing and perhaps
most valuable part of the community are
preyed upon by the more knowing and
crafty spectators But contrary to my
intention and declaration, | am Offering
reasons in support Of my opinion reasons,
too, which ,of all others, are least pleas
ing to the advocates for paper money. |
shall therefore only Observe generally,
that so many people have suffered by for
mer emissions, that like a burnt child
who breads the fire, no person will touch
1t who can possibly avoid it, the natural
consequence Of which will be, that the
specie which remains unsupported will bo
Instantly locked up.
With great esteem and regard, am,
dear sir &c,,

satirIcaI Advertisement.

In the Philadelphia Ledger we find
very amusing advertisement, satirical and
true, aimed at those autocrats ofdomestie
life--the Biddies. In few lines, the
whole case, as between mistress and
servant, is well stated:
COOK WANTED:-A woman in re-
spectacle circumstances, living in the
West End, and who can give the best Of
references as to character, wishes to EN-
GAGE lady to do washing and ironing
for herself, husband and six children.
fthe family is found to be too numerous,
some of the children will be sent out to
board. In order to make the duties of
the situation as easy as possible, a lady
of inferior quality will be engaged to do
the heavy part of the washing, and "
colored gentleman will be in attendance
to do any work that may be considered
unbecoming in lady-such as backing
boots, washing doorsteps, scrubbing
floors, cleaning knives and forks, making
fires, carrying water, running errands,
and other duties of like kind too numer-
Gus to mention. She will have tho Thurs
day nights to herself, with full promission
to use what -four, milk, butter, sugar, and
eggs she may require to prepare cakes
and other dainties for the usual Thursday
evening jubilees. She may, also, without
asking permission, supply her relatives
and friends with everything from the
family cupboard A present will be made
her at Christmas of Silk Dress and q set
of Jewelry, and she will have liberty at
all times to go out to balls, evening par
ties, and conversations. Tho advertiser
never goes into her own kich6n, locks her
presses, or exercises any impertinent
interference in her family affairs. Ad-

ANEcDoTE OF MIRABEAU LAMAR.--A
friend who knew the late Mirabeau
Lamar well, in private letter, speaks as
follows: "Well, Mirabeau L. Lamar is
dead! lie made the first political speech
| ever heard, and said "By Heavenl
had rather see Georgia an iceberg
leadess and lifeless-doating in the
frozen sea, than to see her submit to
Federal exaction. Nay, sir, l had rather
see her sink into a lake Of fire, seven
times hotter than mans conception!'
When he had fever twenty years ago,
Colquitt went to see him, and he lay
scorching up and raving to die "Any-
body can die" he said "but me. Any.
body else would die with this fever; but
here am ], and shall not die, but suffer
on and livel" But he is dead--a brave
man and poet, he was not happy, and
we tremble to lift the yeil'that hides his
eternal future.

bingham Mass, lastweek, which attracted
several hundred persons. At the close
of tho entertainment, the generous con-
certizer produced lot Of soap, warrented
to cure all kinds of skin diseases, which
he offered at the low price of twenty-five
cents a cake. OF course tho chance to
procure so excellant saponaceous
article was not thrown away by the
audience, and the Yankee soon disposed
Of his stock and left the town. The next
day it was discovered that large
majority Of the citizens of Bucket Town
were the possessors of small cakes Of

which they had paid liberal price.

MY OTHER SOUL.

Mine to the core Of the heart, my beauty.

Love given willingly, full and free,
Love for loves sake, as love thee.
Duty, servant, keeps the key.
hut Love, the master, goes In and out
of his goody chambers with song and shout,
Constant and happy-merry and free!
Mine, from the dear heads g crown, brown golden,
To tho sllken foot that's scarce beholdenl
Give warm hand to a friend-a smile,
Like generous lady, now and awhile;
But the sanctuary heart that none dare win,
Keep hottest Of hoiest evermore--

The high priest only enters In.
Mine, my own-withont doubts or terrors;
With all thy goodnesses, all thy errors,
Unto me and to me alone revealed,
Aspiring shut up, o fountain sealed"
Many may praise thee-praise mine and thine.
Many may love thee-I'll love them, too;
But thy heart of hearts, pure, faithful and true,
Must be mine-mine wholly forever mine.
Minel-God / thank thee that thou hast given
Something all mine on this side of heaven;
Something as much myself to DO
As this, my soul, which lift to thee:

But each unto each, as In thy sight, one.

PRESENT APPEARANCE OF MOUNT VEsU-
vIus.-A correspondent in Naples says:
"Vesuyius has been tolerably quiet Of late;
that is to say, it has not been making any
great external demonstrations. On the
2Sth Of last month, however, about mid
day, another mouth was opened at the
bottom of the crater whence issued yellow
and green circles of fire. The crater OF
which:I speak is the one which is nearest
the Hermitage, and is constantly throw
ing out smoke, ashes, and lapili." cat
the foot of the mountain" says the old
guide, "where five currents of lava were
to be seen, there is grotto, which / en-
tered, and | could distinctly hear large
masses of stone falling, as it were,
from the internal summit of the crater to
the bottom of it. showing, as it appeared
to me, vacuum, and the not improbable
event some time or other of a fall in of
the crust Of the cone of the mountain. "
The currents of lava which traversed
the couatry are now at rest, and except a
batch of fire here and there nothing is to
be seen from Naples. 1t is worthy of
notice, that, previous to the destruction of
Pompeii, Vesuvius was in state of erup-
ton for seven years, currents of lava
spread over the neighboring lands, and at
last the mountain Of Souman opened, and
separated in two parts, covering Pompeii
and Herculancum, and reducing them
outwardly to vast plain covered over
with ashes. Will there be q similar ter
mination to the present long continued
eruption.

ASSASSINATION OF A MISSISSIPPI EDITOR.
A telegraphic dispatch of the 18th, from
Vieksburg, Miss, states that W. D. Roy
Editor Of the Seminal and Sun, was shot
through the heart by Sheppard, his clerk,
who had defaulted. Roy was also Sur.
veyor Of the port Of Vicksburg, and
charged Sheppard, his deputy, with
swindling. The latter was arrested
during q bridal tour to New Orleans,
some months since. This is doubtless
the origin Of the tragic affair.
