Tobacco. It has been ascertained that one hundred million pounds of tobacco are annually consumed in the TJ. States, and it is estimated that the time lost by the use of it and the pauper tax which it oc- casions, together with its cost to consum-ers- , can not be less than twenty-fou- r mill- ions of dollars. One of the New-Yor- k Editors states that in the clear-headed- , sharp-sighte- d, money-makin- g city of N. York, the inhabitants pay more for tobac- co than they do for bread. We think this rather a tough story; still, it must be ac- knowledged that the amount annually expended for tobacco is unreasonably eno:mous. Eastern Baptist.

Penn. Freeman. Effects of Peace. The Peace of the world was never so general and so long maintained, as at present. The con- sequence is, that commerce was never so much extended, the arts so much perfect- ed, or the aggregate welfare of mankind so great. The Emperor of Russia has a palace at Berlin, where he is expected to reside some time. Kings are divested of much of their power and exclusive-ness- ; they visit each others dominions, and the lion and the lamb may almost lit- erally be said to lie down together. The elevation of the people, by the moral power of right education, of both mind and heart, is now one of the. great ob- jects of all civiliz.-- nations. Cincinnati Gazette. The Suits at Law. We believe, af- ter all, that but one suit has been com- menced, relating to the General Assem- bly. The actual serving of process, in that to which the Trustees are parties, ap- pears to have been defer red. It seems a pity that the Presbyterian church, by hold- ing property, or having held for its use by trustees, should be exposed to suits at law. But so it is, and there is no help for it. The jurisdiction of courts must extend to all bodies by whom or for whom proper- ty is held. Is it not desirable, then, for ecclesiastical bodies to keep themselves as free as possible from this exposure? N. Y. Observer. Scgar in the French West Indie.

The ln? of R'ay between Lyons and St Etienne, the largest manufacturing town and the richest coal district in France, is only 34 miles in length ; yet, such is the unevenness of the country, and so great has been the anxiety of the engineers to preserve as complete a level as possible, that there are actually no less than twen- ty tunnels between the two termini ; One of these is a mile in length, while anoth- er, which is half a mile long, is carried under the bed of a liver which crosses ;he line.

A young lady possessing great personal and mental accomplishments, and, also rich in this world's goods, commuted suicide at Farm-iiigto- n, New York, only fifteen days after marriage, being impelled to the la-- j tal deed by discovering that her husband was a drunkard.

Proc. Jour. . More Frontier Trouble. The Rochester papers of the 4th inst., bring information of u strange arTair at Brock-ville- , Uppe: Canada. The steamboat Telegraph, while leaving the wharf at that place on Friday night, was fired in- to by the militia, stationed at Brockville, am! attftougrr nobody -- vras- hurt, ovra! balls left traces of their progress. N. Y. Spec Tno following particulars are nom -- ue Rochester Daily Advertiser. Captain Childs, of the steamer Tele graph, states that on putting into Brock- ville, or rather while there, he was about 10 o'clock on Friday night fired into by the Queen's militia, stationed at that place. From fifteen to twenty shots were fired, f.ur of which we know to have struck th boat. An ounce ball passed thro' the bdifs' cabin, near the centre, barely miss- ing the chambermaid, who was standing by the stove. It must have been a nar- row escape, judging from the holes in the wall compared with the position of the stove. It wa3 known at Kingston tnat an attempt to destroy either the Oneida or Telegraph was to be made that nignt, but the fjrmer passed without calling on them. The Telegraph was fired on till out of reach,' which was not long, as the engin- eer, suspicious of ' foul play, kept up dur ing the stay of the boat a heavy pressure ol steam. The officer commanding the guard at Brockville attempts an excuse by saying that the men' had ed his or- ders, which were to fire muskets into the air as a signal, provided any suspicious boats should approach. The degree of suspicion that justly attaches to the Tele- graph, may be learned from the fact, that her bell was sounded twice, as is custom- ary at that place. - From the Cherokees. The Geor- gia Constitutionalist of Saturday last has the fallowing : Late from the Cherokee Cou- ntry. From an authentic source we place before our readers the following informa tion, respecting the proceedings of Gen. Scott in the Cherokee country. This in- formation is more favorable than could -- have been expected ; but we have to learn whxt effect the extraordinary movement at Washington will produce on the minds of the Cherokee. Indians, and what course General Scott will feel himself bound to pursue, in regard to the instructions which must have reached him by this time. On the '26th of last month. General Scott gave orders to commence the oper- ation of gathering the-Indian- s within the state of .Georgia. In compliance with, this order, upward of 200 Indians were assembled at Echota at 10 o'clock A. M. en the 27th. The same number were as- sembled at a post near Cassvillj at noon; 300 at the Sixes, on the morning of jhe 23th; and spo at Fort Buffington, (5 miles east of Canton :1 and it is probable that upward of 2000 were assembled at those places by the right of the 28th. The In run werecollec ed by the troops seemed reluctant to leave their hbiries but made no resistance,"' It must be obsr red, howrver, that but verft few yoon aaen, or ivarriors, w?re among those brought in." .; General Scottvhad givea orders to send the Indians immediately to tha'agefe .jtj at Calhpunr or Ganter'a Landing."- - to evacuate tne territory jiereioiore, nem by them within the limits of the, State of Georgia.'. His measures met with no re- sistance. On the 29th, he had under his .control three thousand Indians and, be- fore thiatime; it is supposed anat" not a It .Wandering Indian rematna within the ' ter- ritory of Ots?rgia. The manner in which this doty has been discharged by that dis- tinguished General is praised for its kind-nes- s, humanity, and from vio- lence This information is -- gratifying; for sorely there is cnoirjb to appeal to the public sympathy in thedestiny of these originaljords of the soil, without "adding to ft unnecessary violence. . " We r ioice. for the sake of our fellow citizens of Giorgia as well as for that of the Indians, that, so fit, an goes on as it does, with as little difficulty as could pos- sibly We been hoped. the Georgians themselves appear to be sincerely gratifi- ed that it ' has so turned out ; and the friends of the Indians, who 'cannot enter into all the feelings of the, Georgians and other Southerners on the subject, will jret not lets rejoice than they, that the policy of ihe Government does not end in blood. Nat. UteL 'Jne . From the Georgia Journal,. May 29. Pckic F'Aim. -- Georgia duped by Mai tin Van Rare.- - To-- : Governor of this state has been informed that General Scott hat reeeiced orders not to enforce th treaty!! After.all the promises of Mr. Van s friends, that his ad- ministration, would advance Southern measures, after all the bravado on his part, of ordering troops to the. Cherokee cou- ntry, the Indians are stil ts to retain their finds, and Georgia must wait the pleas-tir- e of the Government to make another treaty, to be, again broken. We are of opinion that" Mr. Van Buren...was never sincere in the impression he'Jiad created, thaihe In Jims would bu removed by the Government. The troops of .the United Stilus hire be,ni brought Within tha lim- its of.

" the trkatv MUST JIB feXrORCED." These impatient Georgians seem to tink every- - minute during which they are prevented. from occupying the lands of the Indian?, to be an-ag- e. They are as impatient of the progress of lime as a br.tcj of b.trotbed lovers lor the. day. of their nuptials. . The President .has cer- tainly shown no disposition to retard the emigration ofthe I idUnt bat is rather endeavoring to accelerate their departure, fey indd:ing them to go voluntarily. .His course has been recently marked by con- siderations of humanity, for which we honor him and we trust that he will not be diverted Irom his benevolent purpose by the blustering of the Georgians. At nllevents, it is to be. hoped by every Christian man, that, having robbed the in dims of their country, the guilt of mur during the dispossessed may not be add- ed to the weight of our national sins.

The ital- icising is our own : 'With regard to the burning of Penn- sylvania Hall, the event is to be regrett- ed : but nt the same time, exhibits the out-hur- st of an indignation, springing frovi the highest sense of justice and pride, a feeling worthy of Americans a sense of what is due to the'jr southern brethren and to their own dignity.

Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Co., should have plac- ed such a figure upon one of their Bank plates, and still more that having done so, they had not omitted the names of the en- gravers. Journal of Commerce. Melancholy Accident. An inter- esting boy, about 12 years of age, son of Mr. John T. DinfjW, of this city, was Udrowned in the back bay, near the crossing of the Prov4dence and Worcester Rail- roads on Monday afternoon. He had gone in to bathe, where the water was quite shallow, in company with a boy smaller than himself, and probably stepped into one of those deep holes which have been made by digging out the mud. His companion had come out before the accident happen- ed, and gone home; and although there were several other boys bathing near by, he was not missin? until his clothes were discovered upon the bank. Search was then immediately made for him, and he was taWpn from th mud. ntthe bottom. V,v two gentlemen, who dove down for that purpose every effort was made to resus- citate him, but in vain he had probably been in the water about two hours. Bos- ton Post. Smithsonian Legacy.

Tobacco. It has been ascertained thatone hundred million pounds of tobaccoare annually consumed in the TJ. States,and it is estimated that the time lost by theuse of it and the pauper tax which it oc-

casions, together with its cost to consum-ers- ,

can not be less than twenty-fou- r mill-ions of dollars. One of the New-Yor- k

Editors states that in the clear-headed- ,

sharp-sighte- d, money-makin- g city of N.York, the inhabitants pay more for tobac-co than they do for bread. We think thisrather a tough story; still, it must be ac-

knowledged that the amount annuallyexpended for tobacco is unreasonablyeno:mous. Eastern Baptist.

Effects of Peace. The Peace ofthe world was never so general and solong maintained, as at present. The con-

sequence is, that commerce was never somuch extended, the arts so much perfect-ed, or the aggregate welfare of mankindso great. The Emperor of Russia hasa palace at Berlin, where he is expectedto reside some time. Kings are divestedof much of their power and exclusive-ness- ;

they visit each others dominions,and the lion and the lamb may almost lit-

erally be said to lie down together. Theelevation of the people, by the moralpower of right education, of both mindand heart, is now one of the. great ob-

Is it not desirable, then, forecclesiastical bodies to keep themselves asfree as possible from this exposure? N.Y. Observer.

More Frontier Trouble. TheRochester papers of the 4th inst., bringinformation of u strange arTair at Brock-ville- ,

Uppe: Canada. The steamboatTelegraph, while leaving the wharf atthat place on Friday night, was fired in-

to by the militia, stationed at Brockville,am! attftougrr nobody -- vras- hurt, ovra!balls left traces of their progress. N. Y.Spec

Tno following particulars are nom -- ueRochester Daily Advertiser.

Captain Childs, of the steamer Telegraph, states that on putting into Brock-ville, or rather while there, he was about10 o'clock on Friday night fired into bythe Queen's militia, stationed at that place.From fifteen to twenty shots were fired,f.ur of which we know to have struckth boat. An ounce ball passed thro' thebdifs' cabin, near the centre, barely miss-

ing the chambermaid, who was standingby the stove. It must have been a nar-

row escape, judging from the holes in thewall compared with the position of thestove. It wa3 known at Kingston tnat anattempt to destroy either the Oneida orTelegraph was to be made that nignt, butthe fjrmer passed without calling on them.The Telegraph was fired on till out ofreach,' which was not long, as the engin-eer, suspicious of ' foul play, kept up during the stay of the boat a heavy pressureol steam.

The officer commanding the guard atBrockville attempts an excuse by sayingthat the men' had ed his or-

ders, which were to fire muskets into theair as a signal, provided any suspiciousboats should approach. The degree ofsuspicion that justly attaches to the Tele-

graph, may be learned from the fact, thather bell was sounded twice, as is custom-ary at that place. -

From the Cherokees. The Geor-gia Constitutionalist of Saturday last hasthe fallowing :

Late from the Cherokee Cou-ntry. From an authentic source we placebefore our readers the following information, respecting the proceedings of Gen.Scott in the Cherokee country. This in-

formation is more favorable than could-- have been expected ; but we have to learnwhxt effect the extraordinary movementat Washington will produce on the mindsof the Cherokee. Indians, and what courseGeneral Scott will feel himself bound topursue, in regard to the instructions whichmust have reached him by this time.

On the '26th of last month. GeneralScott gave orders to commence the oper-ation of gathering the-Indian- s within thestate of .Georgia. In compliance with,this order, upward of 200 Indians wereassembled at Echota at 10 o'clock A. M.en the 27th. The same number were as-

sembled at a post near Cassvillj at noon;300 at the Sixes, on the morning of jhe23th; and spo at Fort Buffington, (5miles east of Canton : 1 and it is probablethat upward of 2000 were assembled atthose places by the right of the 28th.The In run werecollec ed by the troopsseemed reluctant to leave their hbiries butmade no resistance,"' It must be obsr red,howrver, that but verft few yoon aaen,or ivarriors, w?re among those broughtin." .; General Scottvhad givea orders tosend the Indians immediately to tha'agefe

.jtj at Calhpunr or Ganter'a Landing."- -

to evacuate tne territory jiereioiore, nemby them within the limits of the, State ofGeorgia.'. His measures met with no re-

sistance. On the 29th, he had under his.control three thousand Indians and, be-

fore thiatime; it is supposed anat" not a It.Wandering Indian rematna within the ' ter-

ritory of Ots?rgia. The manner in whichthis doty has been discharged by that dis-

tinguished General is praised for its kind-nes- s,

humanity, and from vio-

lence This information is -- gratifying;for sorely there is cnoirjb to appeal to thepublic sympathy in thedestiny of theseoriginaljords of the soil, without "addingto ft unnecessary violence. .

We r ioice. for the sake of our fellowcitizens of Giorgia as well as for that ofthe Indians, that, so fit, an goes on as itdoes, with as little difficulty as could pos-

them to cultivate; and from their fathers'sepulchres, that the plough of the whiteman may mark his title upon them. Huraanity sickens at the outrage, and herheart beats with agony as though it wouldburst it3 casements. The general govern-ment proposes in the last resort conditionsof mercy and amicable adjustment. TheState of Georgia, more savage than theaborigines, defies the general governmentand disdains all propositions of mercy.These wretched people then must go. Itwould seem as though no earthly powercould avert their melancholy fate ; and apage of our national history, as black asever disgraced theannals of mankind, mustthen remain to exhibit the horrid andbloody triumphs of a treachery never surpassed ; an avarice utterly insatiable : andan inhuman abuse of power unrivalled in j

its ferocity by the cannibals of New Zealand.

They have their reward. A portion of the southern press, looks upon thePhiladelphia incendiaries with a patron-izing air. and uives them a nice susrarplum, for their zeal an ! patriotism, in j

throwing Pennsylvania principles as a j

propitiary sacrifice upon the altar of south-ern slavery. We cut the following scrapfrom the Richmond Compiler. The ital-

icising is our own :

'With regard to the burning of Penn-sylvania Hall, the event is to be regrett-ed : but nt the same time, exhibits the out-hur- st

of an indignation, springing frovithe highest sense of justice and pride, afeeling worthy of Americans a sense ofwhat is due to the'jr southern brethren andto their own dignity. We hail the event,painful as it is, as an index of the properstate of public sentiment, on the subjectof abolition at the North." Pennsylva-nia Freeman.

Immodest Vignettes.- - Wesaw yes-

terday a 50 dollar note of the ManhattanBank, of a' new emission, with a vignetteupon it which would suit the latitude andlongitudr of the Fire Point.--. Wc knowmost of the Directors of that institution, &we know that they would not be willingtheir sons or daughters should look onsuch a picture. We hope they will de-

stroy the infamous plate at once. This isa new way of debasing the public morals,and one which, so far as we can speak,shall not fail to be held up for public rep-rehension. We wonder that the very re-

spectable engravers, Messrs. Rawdon,Wright, Hatch & Co., should have plac-ed such a figure upon one of their Bankplates, and still more that having done so,they had not omitted the names of the en-

gravers. Journal of Commerce.

Melancholy Accident. An inter-esting boy, about 12 years of age, son ofMr. John T. DinfjW, of this city, was

Udrowned in the back bay, near the crossingof the Prov4dence and Worcester Rail-roads on Monday afternoon. He had gonein to bathe, where the water was quiteshallow, in company with a boy smallerthan himself, and probably stepped into oneof those deep holes which have been madeby digging out the mud. His companionhad come out before the accident happen-ed, and gone home; and although therewere several other boys bathing near by,he was not missin? until his clothes werediscovered upon the bank. Search wasthen immediately made for him, and hewas taWpn from th mud. ntthe bottom. V,v
