Gen Harrison, who passed some time at *Jie
Virginia Springs last summer, afterwards visited
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and j
New York, in all which places he was greeted i
with public honors. We have not copied the j
notices of these proceedings because we do
not altogether approve of such homage paid by
plain republicans to their fellow mortals, however
meritorius. Bat the position of Gen. Harrison
as a prominent candidate for the Presidency
induces us to copy from the N. Y.
Courier and Inquirer of Sept. 130, the following
- notice of his reception in that city.
RECEPTION OP GENERAL HARRISON.
General William Henry Harrison nr..
rived in this city yesterday at 4 P. M., and i
we are proud to say, was received by all 1
classes of citizens without reference to party
as a gallant soldier who has rendered good
service to the country, and a civilian who
has been true to the constitution and tiie |
laws, always should be, by a just, discrim-1
mating, and grateful people. Thousands
hailed his landing, and tens of thousands i
united in the grateful huzza which marked
his triumphant passage through Broadway to j
? * I! 'l 1 ' ^
t ic American note!, j.very porca w??
crowded, and every window and balcony,
exhibfied ladies waving ihcir handkerchiefs j
and welcoming *o our ci:y its distinguished ]
visiter.
On his arrival "nt his lodgings the Chairman
of the Oommi tee deputed to welcome
him, delivered an appropriate address, to
which the General replied in a most felici- i
tous manner, and nearly in the following'
words:?
Sik,?The sentiments which you have
conveyed to me on behalf of your fellow
ciiizeus, and the kind manner in which you
have communicated them, have only added j
to the deb: of graditude I already owed to I
tiie city of New York. This is not the ;
lirst occasion upon which I have received ;
ihe generous tender of the hospitality of the ;
city; and the emotions which former mani- i
testations of their good will excited in my
bosom, can never be eftaccu to the latest i
hour of my existence.
I cannot recollect, sir, without the liveliest1
sensibility, that upon my return through this j
city from a most anluous campaign,?when
1 was most anxious to know the views j
which m v fellow citizens might entertain of j
the value of iny best services in the cause ;
of my coun ry on the frontier?that it was 1
my fortune to meet, in your city, with aj
welcome, which at once relieved ine of all j
anxiety, and left an impression on my mein- j
ii'liioh it.t l-meo rvf tune Mil dcstTOV. It I
was here, sir, that I received the most gratilying
testimony of the generous regard of,
inv countrymen, lor my exertions in the }
campaign which closed with the battle of j
the Thames.
With regard to my exertions in behalf of
my country to which you have done me
the honor to allude, 1 know and feel that it
does not belong to me to ustimutc them. I
ciui only say, that in every situation in which
I have been placed, military or civil, as I !
have never shumk from performing my clu* I
ty, so I have never abused the powers con- 1
fided to me, to oppress or wrong any indi-1
vidua!: and that in the most delicate and j
trying circumstances, I have ever made ;
it the iirst object of my most anxious solici- j
mde to reconcile my duty to my country j
with the respect due to the rights of tiie !
humblest citizen.
Af.er being introduced to many of our ;
fellow-citizens,?during which time he ex- j
hibited more of the appearance of a man of j
forty than of sixty three?he was conducted j
to the dining room prepared for the occa- ;
sion, where he with tiie committee of this)
city, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New Jer- j
sjv, and u tow invited guests, he sat down 1
to m\ entertainment prepared in Milford's j
best Siyle.
It is well known to all oir readers, that j
Mr. Webster was our first choice for the j
Presidency, and that we only united in the >
support of Gen. Harrison* because we had
confidence in his principles and believed, I
that while his grout military and civil servi- j
ces entitled him to our gratitude, his devotion
to the Cons itution and the Laws would 1,
render his election not only safe, but a na- j
tional blessing?ridding us from the misrule : j
of the present most oppressive and tyranni-1
cal dynasty. We never claimed for him a ,
high order of talents, but that we did not do 1 j
irrn?MM)nr?n \\ p vp
so* was iiju rumin wi igiiuiuuvbi ??.....w j
seen, conversed with, and heard him on the J,
spur of occasion, nutke public speeches in j
reply to subjects of which in their very na-1 j
tare he could not have been prepared; and ,
we would be wanting in our duty to the
public and regardless of what is due to truth ,
if we did not say, tluu in the whole course ' j
of our public life?and it lias not been limi- j.
ed in experience?we have never met with ,
a solitary individual?we except no one? J
who possesses such u happy (acuity of con-:.
veying to his hearers in the most chaste and I
classical style, his firm devotion to the Con- ,
stitution, his hatred of tyranny, his attach-:]
inentto republican institutions, and his grateful
appreciation of the attention which his fel-; ^
low citizer.s are every where bestowing upon (
him. In the course of last night's entertainment
he was four times compelled to addressthe
assembled strangers?for such to :
him, most of them were?and there lives
not the man who could, unprepared, have j t
made such eminently successful harangues. 11
While his mind is imbued with a devoted- j ]
ness ro republican principles which cannot! i
fail to call forth the best feelings of the Fa- j
triot, it is stored with a rich deposit of litcra-! 1
ry lore which irresistably challenges the JI
admiration of the scholar. His warmest I
friends, his greatest admirers, and his most
devoted political advocates, were alike as- <
tonished at the tact and patriotism which his i
speeches displayed, and the learning with i
which they were embellished. He is in- ;
deed worthy the support of an intelligent J
people for the first station in the world.
It affords us unfeigned pleasure to add, that i
our Mayor, Cornelius W. Lawrence, prompt- i
ed by a conviction of what was due by the <
people of this city and of the Union, to so 1
distinguished an individual and great public j1
benefactor as Gen. Harrison, and regard- j <
less as be always i^ o\jxrrfij considerations^.
in the discharge of his public duties, waited
upon the General while engaged at (Tinner
with his friends. When about retiring, a
gentleman proposed as a toast, " Cornelius C
W. Lawrence, the able and efficient Mayor a
of the City of New York," which was re. r
ccived with three cheers. Mr. Lawrence C
briefly replied, and stated that being compell- ti
ed to leave town at an early hour in the s
morning, he felt that he would have been t
wanting in his duty to the inhabitants of 1
this city, if he had not availed himself of j
the opportunity, late as it was, to pay his c
personal respects, and in the name of his ^
constituents welcome to our city, one who ?
had rendered such valuable and distinguish- \
ed service to the country in the hour of its J
greatest gloom. His remarks were res- (
ponded to by three times three, and he re- (
tired accompanied by Alderman Purdij, j
Schmelzcl Tahnndge and Benson, who had t
accompanied him on this well considered t
visit of respect for a worthy public servant. (

Honors to General Harrison.?Never
since the visit of LaFayette to this city, has
tti.TP witnessnd stmli si hurst of elitliU- (
siasm as that with which theHeroof Tippe-11
canoe has been received. Thousands upon ] i
thousands of all Conditions and professions j
crowded to the City Hall yesterday morn- j 1
ing to pay their respects to the man of the 1
people. It is as gratifying to his friends as t
it is honorable to our fellow citizens that i i
lor one day. all distinction of party seemed | <
merged in the universal desire to render ; '
honor to our distinguished visitor. The ! 1
spectacle was oneof which any uation might j I
justly be proud; and the impression made c
upon all who were spectators of the scene, t
was that of the honest tribute of a people's ) i
gratitude to a brave soldier and an honest ! t
man who had rendered illustrious services } <
to his country. j t
\Yc can but regret that our time and space 1
% I
will not allow us to detail all the interesting 1
incidents that occured during the morning's j t
ceremony;?among the rest, a deputation j t
front the members of the Bar, apj>ointed { \
impromptu, waited upon the General,and the j [
Chairman, Hugh Mtunrc 11,Es<\. made an ap-1 c

entertained by the Committee for his pri- j

the nation in the darkest hour of the late ? c
war. Here again was manifested that tab ' t
ent ibr which Genera! Harrison is so eini- [
nentlv distinguished, viz. of ready ofT-hana <
replies of the most appropriate style and t
sentiments. Exhausting as is the task of c
receiving and shaking hands with thou- t
sands of his fellow citizens, the hardy vetc- *j
ran seemed to be insensible to all approach f
of fatigue. c

The New York Times, after stating some (
incidents in the trial of a colored woman indicted
for purjury in the suit of Anron Burrs wife
tbr a divorce from her hnsband, gives the fol- '
lowing history of Burr's acquaintance with *
his said wife. J
It is said he became acquainted with (j
Madame Jumel, then a light and lovely Jer- c
soy girl, about 45 years ago. It was soon [

in 1801 he went into the House of Itepre- y
sentaves on a tie with Thomas Jefferson a
for the Presidency of the U. States, follow, ii
ed his checfjuered fortunes, and bore a love r
towards him which hns never ceased whol- 1
lytocxis\ She had, it is said, children, b
Report states that it was a favourite maxim
with Aaron Burr thut men are like fishes in b
the sea, born to devour each other. h
Whether this lady practically experience a
ced the conduct that must grow out of such n
an idea is not known. She afterwards be- c
came the housekeeper of Monsieur Jumel, h
a rich French merchant established in New ti
York. Report states that she became dan. t<
Tprously sick and solicited Monsieur Jumel F
ro let her die the death of an honest woman, n
He married her; immediately after which c
site rapidly recovered, and assumed the n
honors and wealth belonging to the wife of it
her husband. He soon after departed for a
Kuropc, and died in Paris, leaving her mis- si
tress of great wealth. For a long time af. 1
tor this, she was housekeeper again to Aa. si
ron Purr, and having, it is said, a point to o
?ain in relation to her children, induced him si
to marry her. He mortally oflended her, /
however, it is supposed in relation to some 11
money transactions, and a deadly breach p
occurred between them. She sued for a di- p<
vorce on the only ground that could entitle C
her to one in New York?that of infidelity; ?
1 black woman was brought forward, who
swore to having witnessed the crime, and a
Jivorce was granted. Hence the present c<
iction. There have been events and oc- ^
tjurrencos in the life of Aaron Purr which j
would out-roinance e'en fiction itself?he } e<
has been a splendid, a fascinating, and a I al

Teas.?The following information resecting
the manufacture of Tea in China
.nd the mode of preparing it for the table,
s extracted from a letter from an American

accompanying a present of two small

All Green Teas are cured with Prussian
ilue, to give them a goo-J color, and are
ence therefore considered by the Chinese
s partially poisoned. No class of Ciiiese
use any description of green tea, cxept
to sell, neither do any foreigners who
ave resided any length of time in the coun y.?The
best and highest priced green
j?s. however, are tinsred with but verv little
Vussicin l>luo, whilst the cheaper kinds are
luch alloyed with this ingredient. I can
onlirm this, from having witnessed the
lanufacture of teas for the last three years
) this empire. Black teas of even* grade
re perfecrfully free from alloy, and are conidered
by the Chinese as very wholesome,
^he "\V oolong Pouchong," which I have
nt you, is considered the highest quality
f black tea ever manufactured, and the
mall box of"Pekoo" is nearly equal to it.
I small quantity of the latter should be
lixed with the former when used, and steeped
with very hot water in an air tight teaot.
This is the universal custom of the
hinese, aud is considered absolutely noessary
to make a good cup of tea.

A correspondent of the Newburyport
Icrald furnishes us the following interesting
atistics of the sales of public lands for the

ave the purchasers a credit. After the 1st
['July, 1829, the price was reduced to 81

about sufficient to supply the actual demani
occasioned by the increase id'population. I
the last named year the symptoms of th
present fever manifested themselves, an
the sales rose about two millions, gradual]
increasing for the next two years. Th

"Our communications with La Granja ar

that, at this moment, there is no longer in Spai
any royal authority.
"The domineering sway is that of terrorisn

It will be gratifying to you, I am well satis

my, the people and the Cabinet, have been al
laved.?all have become of one way of think
ing, and nothing but harmony and goo<
feeling exists. We hear no hostile fo<
approaching us, and that the Mexiean Ar
my has dwindled down to 2000 men, stil
at Matamonas, decreasing daily by deser
tions; that much discord and disunion pre
vails, and all that have ever been in Texai
among them, never wish to visit it again. Oil
Commissioners, Teal and Cairns, who wen
there to effect an exchange of prisoners, &c
&c., are still retained; and the last account!
received from them, stated they were in c/os,
confinement! So much for Mexican treachery
We have nothing to expect from this great anc

c THE CREEK WAR AT AN END. ,
c Extract of a dated Columbus, (Ga.) Sept. 25. 1
L* "I believe the war may now be considered f
s at an end. All the emigrants are on their i
^ way, except the Creek Volunteers. Upwards i
of 14,000 have lately gone, which with what
were sent before, make about 19,000. Be- ^
0 tween 7 and 800 warriors have gone to Florida,
leaving their families here, \vnich increases <
11 the sum to 22,000. About 100 warriors have (
" been killed by the Georgians, which will
n nearly account, they say, for the nation. ?
. Lane has been selected to command a regi- 4
r ment of Creek VolunJeers raised by Gen. Jes- c
sup, under the 10,000 act, by authority of the i
President. He has used a great deal of ener>f
gy, and much talent. Jim Boy and Paddy
h Carr, and other influential chiefe accompany F
e him. He is Colonel you know. He went! p
U I flOWn Uie HWl last. ?? euiicouajr ?? mi ixjo *\ uuic c
command, organized at Dog Island, at the (
e mouth of the Appala?and will be placed bv '
5- Steamboats from thence either at the mouth
i of the Withlacoochee or Suwanee. The e
i- j Tennessee Volunteers (1500 mounted) went i
e into Florida some time since, as you know; n
n have passed through Tallahassee, and were
expected to attack the enemy at Newnansville r
i, yesterday. r
e But the great hope of closing soon that t
d campaign, I believe, is founded on the expec- v
i- tation that they will be able through several
s chiefs who have been selected with great care
i- and pains for that purpose; who are to come
mence immediately alter their arrival a nego-j'
n tiation with Jumper, and others, to effect an | 2
, arrangement with the enemy, and by a diplo- j t!
malic arrangement to get the terms, which it i o
d i seems so difficult to force them into with their j 0
n muskets. i,
y General Jesup made last week a most rapid I
o i flight to Tallahassee and back, having had a jv
I a IK. Willi VJUVCfJIUl V/OJ1, oiuut; tvuiv.il lie uao u
c determined to go home, and only waits for us c
r to get the remainder of the stores and the pors
tion of the Regulars, who are to go down the
i- river. This we will effect in ten days. It is p
y now determined to keep here five companies, i'
i- and I have no doubt they will be of the 4th
e | Regt. Artillery. The 3d and 1st will probad
bly be off as soon as the boats return from ta- ^
king the Indians down. Five companies of
- Alabama troops were to have been here to
o watch any stragglers that might remain in the
s swamps, &c. and the Marines were to march i
r home. But they (the Volunteers J have not j
- appeared. I believe the General has ordered i
a them (the Marines) however to go with the j
d exception of two companies under Col. Free- i
r man. They have been a very subornate and i
s orderly set of fellows, and have gained a good *
- name?but are about as sick of soldiering as t
t any body. ?

More Indian depredations.?The mail car- 1
s rier from Tallahassee, who arrived last Satur- 1
day evening, states that on Friday last, he met 1
a man nearly naked, and almost dead with ex- 1
haustion near Onean Pond, between Alliga- 1
tnr anrl Snu-aiipp This man. namnH Tfuntor. i (
said that on Wednesday morning of last week 1
about fifty Indians attacked a house near 1
Orange Pond, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Uptej
grove, and himself, all advanced in age. Mr. w
I Uptegrove was killed. Mrs. Uptegrove fled v
| from the house through a back door. Mr.
i Hunter says he saw four or five Indians running
close "after her, having shot at her with- j
out stopping her flight. She was undoubtedly
taken and killed by her pursuers. P
Mr. Hunter managed to escape the pond, tl
3 and got into it as far as he could. The Indir
an surrounded the pond, and remained on
t guard for him till near daylight the next morning,
when they left, doubtless supposing their
3 intended victim was drowned. Near 24 hours ci
e did Mr. Hunter remain in the water with no ft
part but his face out, so that he could breathe. 0,
\ In this way he eluded their vigilence, and after
the departure of the Indians, he left the ?
r pond and endeavored to make his way to the n
nearest post when he was found by the mail n
l rider. He had been without food from Wed- c,
j nesday morning till Friday. ^
f St. Augustine, Sept. 22.?The communica- m
; tion between Garey's Ferry and Picolata is in1
terrupted. It is considered extremely danger- w
r ous to send expresses over land, and there has a
been no communication by water for some w
? I time. w
f; There are at this post, in Hospital, 117 sick
?i and wounded U. S. Troops, and 29 in Quar- n<
i j tors, among them several officers. There

CHERAW GAZETTE.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1836.
We have complaints from different quarers
of the irregularity with which our paper
9 received. We assure our subscribers that
;he fault is not ours. The papers are carefully
)ut up and regularly mailed. Complaints of
;his kind are common in all parts of the U.
States, and have been from the time when
fudge McLean was driven from the Poet office
Department; and we have no doubt will
;ontinue as long as Kendall, Van Buren and
company, are entrusted by the people with the
reins of Government. It is said that the Post
Master General, in answer to the daily complaints
poured in upon him of irregularity in
the transmission of papers by mail, is in thehabit
of replying that it i3 for the letter mailshe
is anxious and not for those carrying" newspapers.
Unfaithful public servants are not
ipt to be anxious for the circulation of news
papvxo.
The minority of the Maryland electors of
State Senators, who refused to attend the
meeting prescribed by the Constitution have
bad the hardihood to publish an address tothe
people in which they avow their object to
bavc been a revolution of the government,
rhey consider the did government nomatbolshed
and modestly recommend to the people
to choose delegates to assemble for the purx)se
of re-enactiiig the present, or rather fornerlaws
and conferring upon the present State
jfficers the power of holding on till some other
Drovision shall be made for the government
of the State.
The outrageous conduct of the Van Buren
Sectors of Maryland seems to be effecting a
change in public sentiment in that State arainstu
the party." An election for delegates
othe Assembly took place throughout the
State on the 6th. We have seen accounts
rom only Baltimore and Annapolis. In the
ormer the V. B. majority was only 209.
fVhereas at the late election ft* electors of
he Senate it was 1,661. In Annapolis the
V. B. ticket succeeded before by a majority
>f 19. Now the Whig ticket by a majority
>f 18.
Memoirs of Lucien Bonaparte, Prince of
Canino, icritlen by himself have been publish d
in N. York by Saunders and Oatly, airanch
of an English house. The Harpers
ilso advertize the work. Of this the English
lublishers complain and some of our cotem>oraries
sustain them in their complaint, beause
they have exclusive authority from - *
he author to publish the work in this country.
Jut what right lias any foreigner or any one
lse to exclude a citizen from publishing what (
he laws Drotect him in Dtiblifihinrr t We d?
ot now speak of tlie policy of refusing <sopy
ights to foreigners. Congress, to whom the
natter is entrusted has seen fit to do so, and
hat is sufficient. We ourselves see nothing
rrong in this act of the Harpers.
We have in a very few instances ha 1 comilaints
made of our44 high prices" for idvctiing.
The rise in the prices of almosi. every
liing else has raised printer's wages, ti e cost
f printing materials, and the whole expense
f newspaper publication, it has tlerefbre
een found necessary to raise the price of adertizing
in many places. The following tale
from a Western paper will show the
harges for advertizing in that region of country
here living is much cheaper than in ;he seaoard
States, and in a town too whore there
s a great deal of advertizing done.

O* TO THE PUBLIC, xi '
Mr. Editor: I beg leave through the
olumns of your pap# to call the attention of ,
lerchants and particularly those who are ^
wners of Wagons, and all who expect to have
oods hauled from the river, to notice the
jad on which they are to be hauled. It is
ow almost impassible. The object of this
jmmunication is to procure something to be
>ne towards repairing it before the com- |
enceraent of the business season. The li
riter is aware that there are a few who have
knowledge of the state of the road and are
illing to contribute either money or labor,
id it is his wish that some of them would
imc a day or two in the columns ofthe Gazette .j
r working on said road. The writer will
Dt be backward in doing his part. 1
