? v Communicated. : FOR THE CUKIOCS. 1 What number is it when multiplied by ^ any other single figure and by adding the figures of the product together pro- | duces invariably the figure or number 9. , Q. , For the Fanners' Gazette. , We append a few notes to the following j communication. Mr. Editor: In your paper of the 1st inst. , in noticing a proposition which Mr. Sims of Darlington submitted to the considers, tion of the public, you hold these remarks: , "We see in the last number of the South j Carolina Temperance Advocate the copy of a bill which the author intends to in (reduce into the House of Keprescnia-; tires of this state, next winter, the object j of which is to exempt from liability to be old for debts of uny description one hun. dredacres of land embracing the debtor's homestead and one hor*e or mule. One , f I or benefits which it is alleged are to fed low the enactment of such a law, is that jit will improve the character of our jxqwlaiiB* by establishing and fostering a class of homest yeomanry. Such an expe. Ximent in the art of improving men's cuaracter, and infusing honesty into them, has the merit of novelty at least. If it should succeed the principle will of course be extended to all property and all j debts, and will entirely supercede the need of bankrupt laws ; a reformation in the character of our country most devout. 4v to ^e wished." What reformation is it, Mr. Editor, - which you so devoutly wish/ Is it, as ^ the collocation of your words implies, the exemption of all property from theliahili. ty of paying all debts/ You hardly mean j . rr.m knufavnr irhnf rerhnl r.rit. ? *H5? f J 1 ?* 0W livnvwif ? ? vw VWT ? . icisra may do with your meaning without omitting or garbling yonr words. (1) I agree w ith the author whose remarks you criticise, in the policy of the proposed measure as well as in the general truth of his remarks, [do not, however, understand him as saying that the measure if adopted "will improve ike character of our . population hy establishing and fostering a class of komat yeomanry (2) nor do I understand him as asserting any proposition which suggests the "experiment in the art.-of improving men's character, and infusing honesty into them " hy legislation. He neither utters, nor ({ am .sure,J entertains any such fallacy in mo. Tulsnr politics as the power of improving men's hearts hy legislation. Had you - tdone nun -the justice to publish his re. j amides mad project of a hill together with r y**mrmwH comment (which I hope you now do) (3) it would have been manifest to the reader that all the "merit" as ?v?l| as "novelty" of such a sage'experi- 1 vnent belonged to the commentator and "* 'riot the author. There is great force in ' the application of emphasis. You re. nAinhor iImmU nhrase "will van ride to town to-day*"* You have misapplied (he J emphasis, as well as imperfectly quoted* 3 The remark of the author, which y?a i tacorrertiy quote is as follows: "It will j improve the character of our population , Vf establishing and fostering a class of - bo nest yeomanry, with those feelings of patriotism and independence, Schick result . from permanent ttcftlemcmti and interest in MkigoiL" These last words, which yon entirely , smut, are the emphatic words of the ?:rite ace and shew that the "experiment" is to infuse * feelingiof patriotism and independence" into men?not "honesty"?as | you suppose; (legislation cannot do that;) and to improve the character of oar pop- , illation* net men's character" (4) The author speaks of honest yeomanry not as contra-distinguished from dishonest yeomanry (5) or dishonest population of ( any kind?hut of a class of citizens, , ...li J jMRAXilltr nnrl a 1 rA irlu W nciCTCf ItruilUf j;curinnj nnu UI V*u^ honest and not to he mad ? so by legislation. The word "honest" which you so much play upon, is in fact, obviously but a gen. eral quality applied to the description of the class of citizens which the author would establish and foster. Mark! it is . not "honesty" which he proposes to establish and foster but a class of yeoman, ry "who will, as he supposes, as they gen. erally are?be honest;" and by the estab. Jishment and fostering of such a class of citizens with those feelings of patriotism ("1) Our correspondent is smart we know ; we therefore infer that he was only half awake when he penned his criti?? o.l?i? ?ia ?? k..f ClWRi Uliroi "isc lie euuiu nui uui nave seen that the wish which our "words'* in their "collocation" express, is that the present need for bankrupt laws might be superceded ; and what the words imply, is that if Mr. Sirns's proposed experiment should succeed, then, this desirable end woaM be obtained by " the exemption of all property from liability for debts."? For if the exemption of a part makes a man honest, the exemption of the whole can only the more strongly confirm that honesty. (2) His own very words. (3) They will be found on the fourth page. (4) We wonder how our correspondent would improve the character of our population otherwise than by improving .the character of individuals who compose it, inasmuch as the plan which he advocates does not seem to contemplate the introduction of foreigners. (ft) "Himegt yeomanry not as contradistinguished from dishonest yeomanry.*' is an abstraction rather too transcendental for our comprehension, ? unci independence, he proposes to improve the character of our population. (6) Your inference, that the tendency of the measure would be to encourage dis honesty (for that is what you really intend [ suppose, and not misrepresentation) is alike unjust to the charncfer of the measure?to the principles of former legislation in this state?and the known laws of human nature.(7) The project itself provides that ail existing contracts shall be exc tpted from its operation and thus guards against the fraudulent or dishonest conduct of those who would run in deht with this shield overthein. The creditor is put on his guard?notice given to him, so that he will not extend credit on the faith of such property as the scheme would exempt from levy or sale. No dishonesty, therefore is encouraged as against creditors? they cannot complain.(S) Again. Former legislation has in various instances recognized and established the principle of the measure. What is the character of our private bank chartcrs? Do they not, and are they not iivamut n InrcrA hflft of the III IC'IUCU IV LAVHi^/% M IUIp.. w stockholder's estate from the hazzardsof speculation and trade? The liability of the stockholders is limited to the amount or twice the amount of their stock. What is the character of those companies authorized hy act of assembly, for purposes of trade and speculation, with limited responsibilty ? Does not all this species of legislation recognize the principle of the measure, in favour of the mercantile and speculating classes of our citizens ; and shall less be done in favor of the agricultural and farming interests? It is common to cry down every measure which has for its object the benefit of ag. riculture, as though all other interests were more deserving of protection. Copartnerships with limited responsibility may be formed, corporations with the sime principle for banking purposes may be enacted and no cry of dishonest tendency is raised ; but so soon as the same principle is proposed in a small degree to be extended to the farmer and his family the measure is met with denunciation of dishonest tendencies. The truth is, the Legislature may well do in this instance what they have often done, in principle, before, provided the public interests will be promoted by it. That is the true question.(9) (6) The feeling of independence springing up in the bosom of an u honest yeo. man" from the consideration that his lana is hot liable for his debts, is a moral phenomenon worthy of attention from the philosopher who is curious in such matters. And as to the patriotism generated by the same cause it requires not the ken of prophecy to foretel that it will most comrhohly evaporate with the whiskey for which such patriots are too apt to barter their 44 hundred acres" in this land of free trade and drunkards' rights. (7) If it is "unjust to the known laws of human nature" to inler that "the tendency of the measure would he to encourage dishonesty" then men are natuaJlv honest, and need not the compulsion of law to render them practically so; they would of course, every where, pay their debts as far us able to do so, notwithstanding any legal exemption of their property from liability. The proposed "measure" would of course he a dead letter on the statute book and the splendid dreams of improvement to he made by it in the st .te of society could never be realized. 0 The gentleman who proposes the kw knows that the federal constitution precludes its application to existing contracts; hut the immorality of applying to contracts made feuhsequcntiv to its passage would not he a whit the less for being le* *"** 1 ? I- - ,L. guiixed. TtU8 H'OUIU orsiy involve mesiaic equally with the dishonest debtor in the crime. By a legal fiction a law is con* strued by the courts to Ikj an ingredient in every contract on which it hears, although it may never have entered into the minds of the contracting parties.? No man credits another without an exlactation of being paid. The law may exempt debtors, hut an honest man will not avail himself of it. If a creditor kindly indulges a debtor till his claim is barred by the statute of limitations would an honest man, on that account refuse to pay the claim, knowing it to be just? To do so might he consistent with lawyer honesty but not with moral honesty.? The refusal by a debtor to sell his land to pay just debts merely because the law does not compel him to do so, would be of1 precisely the same moral character with pleacing the statute of limitations in bar to the recovery of a just debt. A man who could do either would most certainly steal his neighbor's purse, or his hogs if - - - ' ?u ?- ??.u., I entirely sure tnat ne couiu nut pioaun; be detected. If such a law act that proposed were enacted, only rogues would avail themselves of it. An hoi$st man, or a man of one particle of pro|?er pride or self-respect, would repulse with indignation the very suggestion of taking shelter under the pretext that his creditors had been put on their guard against him by a law of the land exempting his property from liability for his debts. 9 Our farmers have abundant cause to congratulate themselves that one man has at length appeared who is willing to legislate for their benefit. Their interest is now to be advanced by maintaining among them such drunken vagabonds as with a hundred acres of land and a horse or mule are too lazy to keep themselves out of the sheriff's clutches. If the character of our population is to be improved ' * 4 Your supposition, is equally at war with the known laws of human nature. The measure is to have a prospective operation. Can it then tend to promote dishonesty? Have not all writers sacred ' and profane, in all ages of the world, concurred with the uniform experience of mankind, in representing the character of man as covetous ot property/ That be is never satisfied with a little gain, but the more he has the more he craves? A little, so far from satisfying him and damping his exertions, only stimulates him to exertion to acquire more. How than, without reversing this known law of our nature, can the secured possession of a small farm on which the farmer may by industry, not only support himself and family in comfort but also improve his circumstances generate a tendency to indolence and dishonesty J Those who are entirely broken down and have nothing may, and often do, become dispirited and indolent. It would seem therefore that the natural tendency of the measure would be, if not to "infuse honesty" in the heart of man, at least to infuse into his pocket the ability to perform the external and social duty of honesty. In this sense perhaps, the words ol the author are true even in your interpretation of them, in "establishing and fostering an honett yeomanry." They would have the ability to perform their honest obligations.( 10) I might say much more in defence of the measure; but I desist. My object was simply to request you to publish the project of a bill and the author's remarks, and to correct, what I conceived an improper criticism. PEE DEE* by fostering such fellows, why not do it by general taxation, and not at the expense, altogether, of their neighbors? This according to our correspondent would not accord with the " former legislation" of the State. We cannot exactly see the force of this argument, unless two wrongs make a right. - - ? * f i _L;I I ill mere s logic ror you, anu puoo<H>. i phy too, more profound than Watts or Whately, or Bacon, or Reid or Brown ever dreampt of. Man's innate covetousness is never satisfied; the more he has the more he strives to increase it: therefore, when an idle spendthrift reduces his wealth to a hundred acres of land, his covetousness will, at this point, make him industrious, economical and honest f pro. vided always that the land belongs justly to his neighbors, and is still secured to himself. The reform which much prop, erty honestly possessed could not effect, a very little unfairly held, effects-?The greatness of the effect is in the inverse ratio of the strength of the cause Q. E.

All of Coacooche's hand, except one man aod his family, have come in, and are in safe keeping here. [Correspondent of the Savannah Georgian.] * East Florida. Sept. 5 1841. Dear. Sir?The gratifying intelligence has been communicated from Tampa Bay. that the gallant commander of Florida, Col. Worth, on the 17th ult. siezed Hospitarka, a chief of importance among the Everglades and Spanish Indians at Pease Creek. Fifteen of Hospitarka's warriors were taken at the same time, including sub-chiefs. Five of the warriors were sent out after the balance of the tribe, numbering three hundred^ to to l>e in at Fort Desnaud, on the Ca loos, ahatchie, on the 11th of tnas month.? This is an important haul, another like it and the Indians will cease to be in Flori. da. To all this good news I must add the mortifying intelligence, th; t on the 3d inst., about noon, as four citizens were going from Micanopy Wacahootar and about three or four miles from the former they were fired on by a party of twenty fndmns. Three were killed, Daniels, Harrold,and Jennings The troops were immediately on thfe trail, and followed it until night, when, singular to say, it came out precisely at the same place they had started from, Martin's point.? Pursuit was renewed yesterday, morning ? s I i sn/l t nntop Ul UitV Hgiil, anu ^icai ijupca aic vmcc tained, the murderous rascals will yet be caught and punished. Yours truly. St. Attgustine Sept. 3 Indian Intelligence.?We are in receipt of the fuliowing interesting rumors, whicli are supposed to be correct in the main: Ahospatake, (Spread Bark,) with some 25 or 30 of Sam Jones' people, has gone in to Pease Creek. Tiger Tail sent in a message requesting an interview with Col. Worth on the 7th inlt. at Annutilga Hammock, and that he intends bringing there all his own people, as4tell as numerous Creeks who have been feting with him. ' J comparative physical diffbmncb pu twbbn the knglish, ibish and scotch, arc Professor Forbes of Edinburgh, has re- *ljl rently made a series of experiments upon tel the physical differences between the English, Irish, and Scotch, the results of which th? cannot be but interesting to our readers.# The Professor made his experiments upon students of the University, attending his class during many years, and therefore, we think they roust be accurate. The ni first attempt Was to ascertain the relative c*i heights of a number of men at twentyfive years of age, and he found the result ei as here exhibited. Age. Englvth. Seotch. Irish. 25 08. 9 inc's. 69. 3. inc's. 70.2 inc's. This shows the Irish uppermost in the scale of stature. ## ^ Frofesaor Ported extended his inquiries * among the English, Scotch, and Irish a" students, to ascertain their bodily weight, adding examinations of a similar and im mixed class of Belgians. The result was ro1 the following: Agr. English. Scotch. Irish. Belgian*. lul rs 15$ lb. . 16S 5 lbs. 156 160 lbs. [si Here again the superiority is with the er Irish, the others holding the relative post- 15 tions as in the case of stature. The next sw experiment was in relation to physical mi power. inj Age. English. Scotch Irinh. Belgian*. Rg $5 403 lbs. 423 1b*. 4321b*. 3391b*. ;ol The relative result in physical energy j-j. is about the same, and the experiments W( altogether, show the Irish in many res- ^ pects the superior race. Suppose the aJ) Professor had called in Doctor Comb, and ef{ had taken the dimensions of the heads, 0f could he not have experimented relative mi to the strength of mind ? S(1 Such experiments instituted to learn ze the relative physical powers of citizens of the different States in this country, might a be a means of eliciting considerable in. a|1 formation, and we are not sure but the i pr time will come when experiments will de. ^ monstrate, that climate and local causes, W) independent of education, influence the CJ| mental as well as bodily powers of man. efj This may be considered somewhat specu- ^ lativfe by snch as have thought but little, ^ but it is assuredly a subject of interest. ^ The Agriculturist. ;n Fatal result or Imprudence.?On the 22d ult. Mr. A. Loomis, porter mer chant of new Orleans, was drowned un- . dcr the following singular circumstances: At. 8 o'clock the steamboat Walker left the railroad for Mandeville, while Mr. L. ^ was on board, not intending to go in her. He was engaged in conversation and did notice that the boat had started until ^ about a mile out, when he asked the Cap. j ' tain to return, which being inconvenient .| was not done ; upon which he # said he , would jump overboard and swim 'back.? . This was remonstrated against by several E, persons, but he persisted, and according. . ly got on to the iudder of the boat and leaped into the water with all his clothes u on him. He swam some time with apa- ** rent ease, when he accidentally lost his . hat, for which he coolly tuined back and recovered it. Soon after this his strength - began to fail him, tod before assistance 1 1 could reach him from a fishing smack near .| by, he disappeared. He was an excellent ., swimmer, and it is thought that he must ' have been attackted with cramp. tr. Yankee Mode of Testing Courage.?U is well known that in the time of the old French war much jealously existed be. . tween the British and Provincial officers. ^ A British Major deeming himself insulted fro by General (then Captain) Putnam sent ne a challenge. Putnam instead of giving ch him a direct answer, requested the pleas. ?u ure of a personal interview with the Ma. jor. He came to Putnam's tent.and Gi found him seated on a small keg, quietly ve smoking his pipe, and demanded what ex communication ifany, Putnam had to !lc make. 44 Why you know," said Putnam, * " I'm but a poor miserable Yankee, that ( never fired a pistol in my life, and you must perceive that if we fired with pistols you have an undue advantage of me. Here are two powder kegs; I have bored a ce hole, and inserted a slow match in each; t? j if you will be so good as to seat yourself an there, I will light the matches, and he who of dares to sit the longest without squirming, shall be called the bravest fellow." The pf t?nt wm full of officers and men. who were wt henrtily tickled with the strange device tio of the Mold . wolfe," and compelled the al Major by thejr laughter to tquat. The signal was given, and the matches light* J ed ; Putnam continued smoking, quite in* ^ differently, without watching at all the ve progressive diminution of the matches? but the British officer, though a brave fel* ofi low, could not help casting longing and lingering looks downwards, and his terrors ^ increased as the length of the matches Qf diminished. The spectators withdrew, ga, one by one, to get out of the way of the fiel expected explosion. At length, the fire ih* was within an inch of the keg, the Major, thi unable to endure longer, jumped up, and ew drawing out his match, cried out, " Put* ' nam this is wilful murder ; draw out your fw macth, 1 yield."?1* My dear fellow," B < cried Putnam, ? don't be in such a hurry, ed they're nothing but kegs of onions!" ^ From the National Intelligencer.. the 44 8 how kb of flk8h and blood."

But the most teresting account of an event of this ad is given by Reaumur, from whom 5 learn that, in the beginning of July, 108, the suburbs of Aix. and a considerle extent of country round it, were coved with what appeared to be a shower blood. We may conceive the amaze ent and stupor of the populace upon ch a discovery, the alarm of the citi ns, the grave reasonings of the learned II agreed, however, in attributing th? pea ranee to the powers of darkness id in regarding it as the prognostic and ecursor of some direful misfortune out to befall them. Fear and prejudice ould have taken deep root upon.this ocsion, and might have produced fata) fects upon some weak minds, had not .

Hearing a fluttering, hich informed him his insect had arved at its perfect state, he openejj.fhe ix in which he kept it; the animal flew it, and left behind it a red spot. He unpared this with the spots of the bloody lower, and found they were alike.
