PENNSYLVANIA.

Philadelphia, April 21. On Friday afternoon last, in the district court of the United States, Judge Washington presiding, came on the trial of John Hart, one of the high constables of Philadelphia, for having twice stopped the United States' mail stage. for not conforming to the municipal regulations of said city.-1st the western mail stage, for driving at a speed exceeding 6 miles an hour-and 2dly, the eastern mail stage, for not having bells attached to the horses, when carried upon runners. The charge of the Judge, we understand, was in favour of the defendant, who was consequently acquitted by the jury, on Saturday afternoon. This decision may be viewed as settling a very important question in relation to the right of local authorities to enforce obedience to their wholesome regulations, which have been hitherto in some degree slighted, by those who considered they were acting under paramount authority.

Norfolk, May 12.

An epidemic has prevailed for some time past in the town of Manchester, opposite to Richmond, which has carried off, in the space of six weeks, upwards of one hundred and thirty persons, chiefly negroes-a mortality heretofore unexampled in that place, the population of which we believe, does not exceed 500. What renders this visitation the more painful, is, that among the number who have fallen victims, are many of the oldest and most respectable inhabitants.

Savannah, May 5.

Population of the City of Savannah, 1st May, 1817, according to the Census taken : whole number of inhabitants, 7624. Whites, 3882; blacks, and persons of colour, 3742; and whole number in may 1810, 5215.

The value of the native products and manufactures of Georgia, shipped in one year, ending September, 1816, coastwise and to foreign ports, amounted to $10,322,880.

The Common Council of Savannah have appropriated $70,000 to change the culture of the lands in the vicinity of the city, thereby to improve its salubrity.

KENTUCKY.

The cotton and wool factory of James Wier and Dr. Patrick, 13 miles from Lexington, Ky. was burnt down on the 27th ult. Loss $40,000.

The cotton bagging factory of Messrs. Barr & Warfield suffered the same fate a few days previous.

It is estimated that 5000 hogsheads of tobacco were lost by the freshet in Kentucky.

TENNESSEE.

Salt-The Nashville paper states that a Mr. Jenkins, living about 80 miles above Nashville, after boring 60 feet, struck the salt water, which immediately rose within 4 feet of the top of the earth-every 10 bushels of water make one of fine white salt. Twenty bushels are stated to be made in a day. The success of Jenkins has prompted several enterprising capitalists to purchase adjoining land, and begin other diggings. We wish them all success, and flatter ourselves that the day is not distant, when Cumberland river will furnish salt on better terms, than any other branch of the Ohio river.

MISSOURI TERRITORY.

Extract of a letter from an intelligent officer,
dated Fort Osage, Feb. 28, 1817.
"We have had a pleasant winter, constant-
ly cold and dry for about three months; rain
in the winter is very rare in this country-
the degrees of cold, vary, from 25 deg. above,
to 6 deg. below 0, by Fahrenheit's thermo-
meter.

" The emigration to this country, continues from unparalleled extent. When I arrived here, last March, our nearest white neighbours were 120 miles below us on the river: the distance now, is not half so great, to the verge of a settlement of whites, and I believe, some families have already advanced within 15 or 20 miles of us. As soon as the spring opens, several families will be as high, or higher than this post. Neither are they emigrants of the poorest class, but respectable farmers, and strong handed, bringing with them their stock, teams, money, &c. &c. This is, probably, the easiest unsettled country in the world, to commence farming.--The emigrant has only to locate himself on the verge of a pairie, and he has one half of his land a heavy forest, and the other half a fertile plain, or meadow, covered with a thick sward of fine grass; he has then only to fence in his ground, and put in his crop. The country abounds with salines, and salt works, sufficient to supply the inhabitants with good salt; a navigation to almost every man's door, which will give him a market for all his surplus produce, and bring to him all the necessary articles of merchandize. The soil and climate are favourable to the growth of Indian corn, wheat, rye, oats, cotton, tobacco, hemp, flax, and almost all kinds of vegetables which grow in the United States.
