The question, by Mr. Butler, is a mere insinua in his diary: "Nov. 2lst. Reached Fort Pitt in the afternoon, distant from our last encampment twenty five miles, and, as near as I can guess, thirty five from the Mingo Town. The land between the Mingo Town and Pittsburg is of different kinds.

For four or five miles after leaving the first mentioned place we passed over steep, hilly ground, covered with white oak, and a thin shallow soil. was succeeded by a lively white oak land, less broken; and this again by rich land, the growth of which was chiefly white and red oak mixed; which lasted, with some intervals of indifferent ridges, all the way to Pittsburgh. It was very observable that, as we left the river, the land grew better, which is a confirmation of the accounts I had before received, that the good bodies of land lie upon must be doomed to never ending rebuke. Now, reader, what do you suppose gives this sinful and degrading character to our conduct in March, 1825? We will tell you, reader: our conduct, in March, 1825, was sinful and mean, in the eians at the seat of the "General government" a prospectus for the pjper ban been printed at Washington and divers 'copies- of it franked into the country by Andreix Jackson.

Invited the officers and some other gentlemen to dinner with me at Semple's, among whom was one Dr. Connolly, nephew to Colonel Croghan, a very sensible, intelligent man, who had traveled over a good deal of this western country both by land and water, and who confirms Nicholson's account of the good land on the Shawnee river, up which he had been near four hundred miles. This country, (I mean on the Shawnee river,) according to Dr. Connolly's description, must be exceedingly desirable on many accounts. Tho climate is fine, the soil remarkably good; the lands well watered with good streams, and level enough for any kind of cultivation.

A word spoken at one time, on one subject, relates back to, and qualifies an act performed in relation to an entirely different matter, four years and eight months before. If those gentlemen are satisfied with such an explanation as this, we can only say that we are content, and most cheerfully admit that they arc very easily satisfied.

The following is the article in the Statesman: "OTJy perverting our paragraph, in which we charged upon the Gazette the 'sin' of Jacksonism, the editor of that paper has attempted to divide the odium of his 'mean apostacy, by naming several gentlemen, to whom he would have it believed this latter reproach was also applied. This is another among the mean and contemptible acts of the Stockholders July 1st, 1831. The Joint Board of Directors of the Delaware and Raritan Canal, and Camden and Amboy Rail Road and Transportation Companies, in conformity to the ISlh section of the act of incorporation of the Delaware and Raritun Canal Company, and of the 17th section of the act incorporating the Camden and Amboy Rail Road and Transportation Company, requiring "That the President and Directors of said Companies, shall, as soon as the affairs of said companies will admit, declare, and make such dividends as they may deem prudent and proper of the net profits thereof, and shall semi annually declare such dividend, and pny the same to the stockholders of the said companies, in proportion to the amount of shares held by them respectively, or- in case they fail so to do, assign viewed Mr. Butler as a brother editor, who was, of aware, is the pel bank of the government in Bah timorc. It has recently appeared that tho public course, entitled to respect as such his remarks, therefore, sometimes irritated us, and while angry, we expressed ourselves strongly.

And wc believe the gentlemen to whom it refers so consider it. The charge of'meanness' cannot be applid to them; they have never cited as a reason for their withholding an expression of opinion in politics, that they had a patron of 'forty Rail Road and Transportation Company for the measures on the jwrt of tin; latter institution, applied $100,000 of these drafts to the purchase of the celebrated Tennessee Iwinds for crT ctini the; sale of which he received These bonds were afterwards pledged to the government ns security for the public deposits. So that Mr. Taney has committed the wonderful feat of mnkieg the government pay for its own securities.

What a wicked Senate to reject so accomplished a last six months, after paying to the State of New Jersey the transit duties secured to her by the acts of Inco'rporation and the supplements thereto, and the interest on the loan negotiated in the United States in the month of July 1833, and leaving years standing, who uinercd Willi them! Jor have they calculated 'political or refused to act independently, because their 'patrons were equally whatever their sins may have been, they arc not obnoxious to a charge of such groveling surplus fund to meet contingencies in the lianas of the Treasurer, justify the directors in declaring a dividend of 3 per cent, on the joint stock of the Delaware and Raritan Canal, and Camden and Amboy Rail Road and Transportation Companies.

A new and most desirable government might be established there, to be bounded, according to his account, by the Ohio northward and westward, by the ridge that divides the waters of the Tennessee or Cherokee river southward and westward, and a line to be run from the falls of the Ohio, or above, so as to cross the Shawnee river above the fork of it. Dr. Connolly gives much the same account of land between FortChartres in the Illinois country, and Post St.

To express ourselves, therefore, ns we formerly did about him, would be preposterous.

FoRT Pitt, in 1770. There being no fresh news this morning, perhaps the following old news may be found interesting. In the 3'ear 1770, Washington visited Fort Pitf, (now Pittsburgh,) on his way to Kenhawa during this journey he kept a diary, which we find in the second volume of Sparks' edition of his writings, from which we make the following extracts, in relation to this place the dates commence October 17, 1770: "Oct. llh. Dr.

traik and myself, with Captain Crawford and others, arrived at Fort Pitt, distant from the Crossings forty three and a half measured miles. In riding this distance w.e passed over a great deal of exceedingly fine land, chiefly white oak, especially from Scwickley Creek to Turtle Creek; but the wholo broken; resembling, as I think all the lands in this country do, the Loudoun lands. We lodged in what is called the town, distant about three hundred yards from the fort, at one Mr. Semple's, who keeps a very good house of entertainment. The houses, which are built of logs and ranged in streets, are on tho Mo-nongahcla, and I suppose may be about twenty in number, and inhabited by Indian "traders.

The fort is built on the point between the rivers Allegany and Monongahela, hut not so near the pitch of it as Fort Duquesne stood. It is five sided and regular, two of which, near the land, are of brick; the others stockade. A moat encompasses it. The garrison consists of two companies of Royal Irish, commanded by Capt.

The New York vacancy, in place of Lawrence, elected Mayor of New Yoik, ill bo filled at the general election in November.

There is, we believe, no law of that state authorizing special elections. There is a vacancy in Ohio.hy the appointment of II. II. Leavitt, Judu-e.

"That as I was a person whom some of them remember to have seen, when I was sent en an embassy to the French, and most of them had heard of, they were come to bid me welcome to this country, and to desire that the people of Virginia would consider them as friends and brothers, linked together in one cjiain; that I would inform the governor, that it was their wish to live in peace and harmony with the white people, nnd that though there had been some unhappy differ-ence between them and the people upon our frontiers, they were all made up, and they hoped forgotten; and concluded with saying, that their brothers of Virginia did not come among Ihcm and trade-as the inhabitants of the other provinces did, payment ot three liali pence per paper, and that this occasion, to declare, that their confidence in gima, march to Alexandria in ttie spring, and the same postage will be. exacted for all English tho productiveness of the Canal and Rail Road papers forwarded to the Continent.

With these combined forces they were to act as circumstances should require. The committee at Frederic Town sent Connolly's papers to Congress, and lie was himself immediately ordered to Philadelphia, where he was imprisoned for more thau a year, nnd then was sent to a jail in Baltimore. He was afterwards allowed to go abroad within certain limits, on his parole, but he was held a prisoner till near the close of the war. He wrote several times to Gen. Washington, complaining of his hardships, but the General declined interfering, as he claimed no control over the prisoners of Congress.
