all who would trust him ; and de

his fare hill, came here, made a
great talk about goods, got what cre

as we understand, to the north w ard.

Yesterday evening, at a late hour,
the Seuiinole quesliou w as pui to resL
Mr. Clay spoke for some time, and
was answered by Mr. Floyd, and
Mr. Irvine, of South-Carolina. Your
readers will readily excuse your not
giving auy more of the speeches,
iivery question, and there were sev
eral, \\ as carried against the report
of the military committee, and iu
favor of gen. Jackson's conduct, by
an immense majority.- On that pa it
connected with Arouthuoi's execu
tion, the question tJeing taken by
ajes and noes?ihe majority was 10ii
to 63. On that w hicfT>espected
Ambrister, the majority was 107 to
63 : aud a motion of Mr. Cobb's, to
declare the seizure of Pensacola aud
St, Carlos de iiaruncas contrary to
the constitution of the United stales,
was negatived by 100 votes to 70.
Thus has the uninterrupted employ
ment of aboui ?00 legislators, lor
three weeks, terminated : and such
is the bargain which the American
people have got for aoout ?*0,000 dol
lars of compensation money. a
lumping pennyworth, nodouot! !

J A TERNAL IMPROVEMENT.
We are happy to find that great
exertions are made to improve the
Inland Navigalion iu every part of
our &tat?. t
Oil Pedee, the neighbors interest
ed have associated to find laborers
and promote the undertaking, while
the operations are directed by thft
State Engineer with skill and ex
perience, and the incidental expences
defrayed from the funds appropriated
by the Legislature.
Mqor Wilson, the Engineer,
bas contracted for opening the llroad
and Saluda to their confluence, and
the Congare* and Santee Hi vera to
the ocean. By this, a very large
proportion of the interior of our State
will now receive their supplies and
send their produce to market by wa
ter carriage, which hitherto, they
could only do by land; the freighting
business will therefore be greatly in
creased on tliose rivers, and we find
preparations made to profit by it.?
The Congaree and Santee Steam
Boat Company have obtained nn ac
curate survey of the Sea Coast, and
made engagements for rendering it
perfectly practicable for Steam Boats
?thereby evincing a foresight and
prudence that must ensure success.
They have likewise sent orders for
an Engine on the most approved
plan, and made such other arrange
ments that their boat will certainly
be in operation early in the Fall.?
As their stock is held by those who
send nine tenths of the freight to and
irftui Columbia, there is no doubt
that they will reccive that proportion
;>f the business.
Major \V ilsox has likewise con
tacted for opening tlie Wateree and
Caui>a, up to tiie Falls of Rocky
mount anil fur making a gmul |u>r
tu?^e round those Falls, so as to cum
? i *i
inunicate with the upper part, w hich
iheCataha Company of North Caro
lina have undertaken to render navi
gable as far as the Mountains.?
This enterprising Company intend
to connect the upper part of the Ca
taba by a Canal or portage, to the
Wataga or the Natachukey Rivers
of Tennessee, by which the produce
of the ri- h valley of Tennessee, as
that of the finest portion of North
Carolina, w ill he shipped, anil their
supplies received through Charleston
as the nearest sea-port to-vn.
The Santee Canal Company will
likewise profit - by thU increase of
business?they have lately erected"
Steam Engines to secure a |>erman
ent supply of water from the river,
st) that it is confidently hoped there
will he no more interruptions from
droughts,
On Pcdee. a similar arrangement
has be?%n made with ihat of fcdisto.
* n nd the V in yaw and Wurrdo CattaV
Company h ue contracted and pro
gressed iu connecting those fine rivers
w itii Charleston. Beyond the North
Carolina line, on tnese ? alers, the
Yadkin Couipauy, aided by the
State, will opeu that navigation, so
? that a large portion of the most pro
ductive part of North Carolina will
hold a direct trade w ith Charleston
by water carriage, and their produce
be ship|>ed from tiiis port with all
the advantages attending such trans
actions?advantages that are enjoyed
in a greater or less degree by every
inhabitant of Charleston, by the in
crease of commercial advantages.?
Our prospects are very Jiattering if
j we use but commou exertions to se
cure and promote them.

A rumor was very prevalent in
London that the king of Spain had
absconded from Madrid.?l?y letters
received it is stated that he had de
stroyed himself, and by others, that
lie had been murdeied. The Times
observes, that the aspect of affairs
in Spain was such a ? made it but too
; jwobahle wome crisis was at hand.
Certainly something serious has oc
1 curred in Spain.

| author of Junius, departed this life
on the ?2d Dec. last, in the 79th
year of his age. Papers and docu

CANCERS,
In cfltisequence of a notice publish
ed in the Mercury of the 8th instant,
extracted from the Haiti more Patriot,
requesting a complete description of
the plant called " Kvergreen" wliich
is said to be a complete cure for the
cancer, a lady called at this office on
Wednesday last, and left us a sam
ple of the plant. She says it is bet
ter known l?v the name of mountain
tea, than that of I'imissaway. She
had herself been afflicted with a can
cer : had had it extracted by knife :
but it returned and liccame worse
than before. Khe hud observed a
publication in tlie newspaper recom
nr. nding Pipsissaway, but did noi
know the plant by that name, until
informed by a lady that it was gene
rally known by the name of moun
tain tea. She procured a quantity of
the tea, made a decoction of it 5
drank copiously of it throughout the
day, and bathed the cancer with it?
i?y a regular proceeding in this course,
a cure was completely effected with
out any inconvenience. The tea is
pleasant and mild. The lady show
ed us the mark where the cancer had
oeen on her lip; and said that she
wished the fact made public for the
benefit of others w ho might be la
boring under this dre:\dful complaot.
