The ALE GANDHI A G AZETTE, for the country, is printed on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. human happiness* Ur! vac ted from Patty's Moral Philosophy, Chap ter VL Showing ia what Happiness does consist. H. We have seen what happiness does not con sist in. We are next to consider in what it dots consist. . i In the conduct of lift', the great matter is, to know beforehand what will please us, and ^ hat pleasure will hold out. So far as we know this, our choice will be justified by the event. And tips knowledge is more scarce and difficult than at first sight it may seem to be; for sometimes pleasures which are wonderfully alluring and Mattering in the prospect, turn out in the posses sion extremely insipid, or do not hold out as we expected; at other times,pleasures start up which never entered into onr calculation, and which we might have missed of by not foreseeing; from whence we have reason to believe, that we act ually do miss of many pleasures from the same cau>e. I say, to know beforehand;' for after the expei iment is tried, it is comm >nly impractica ble to retreat or change; beside that shifting ami changing is apt to generate a habit of rest lessness, which is destructive of the happiness of every condition. 15 v reason of the original diversity of taste,: capacity, and constitution, observable in the hu man species, and the still greater variety which habit and fashon have introduced in these par ticulars, it is impossible to propose any plan of 1 appiness which will succeed to all, or any me {': j.i of life which is universally eligible or prac ticable. Ail that can be said is, that there remains a pi coimption in favor of those conditions of life, in which men generally appear most cheerful and c mcented. For though the apparent hap \ > of mankind be not always a true measure of their real happiness, it is the best measure we ha v’e. * Taking this for my guide, I am inclined to be lieve that happiness consists, T. In the exercise of the social affections. r, o-v persons commonly possess good spirits, 1 wd > have about them many objects of affection : { endearment, as wife, children, kindred, 1, mR And to the want of these may be imput ed iae peevishness of monks, and of such as load a monastic life. Of the same nature with the indulgence of r ;r domestic affections, and equally refreshing t 1 the spirits, is the pleasure which results from :-e s of bounty and beneficence, exercised either in giving money, or m imparting to those \ > want it the assistance of our skill and pro le.-sion. Another mam article ot numnn nappun^s i>. II. The exercise nf our faculties, either of bo dy or mind, in the pursuit of some engaging end. It seems to be true, that no plenitude of pro <. 't gratifications can make the possessor hap py for a continuance, unless he have something i .i reserve,—something to hope for, and look for ward to. This I conclude to be the case, from comparing the alacrity and spirits of men who are engaged in any pursuit winch interests them, with the dejection and ennui of almost all, who are cither born to so much that they want noth ing more, or who have used up their satisfactions to > soon, and drained the sources of them. It is this intolerable vacuity of mind which carries the rich and great to the horse course ami the gaming table; and often engages them in contests and pursuits, of whic h the success bears no proportion to the solicitude and expense v. ith which it is sought. An election for a dis-i puted borough shall cost the parties twenty or thirty t .ousancl pounds each.— to say nothing of j the anxiety, humiliation, and fatigue of the can vass; v.fu n a seat in the iiou^e of Commons, of exactly the same value, may be had for a tenth part of the money, and with no double. 1 do not mention this to blame the rich and great, (perhaps they cannot do better,) but in confir mation of what t have advanced. Hope, which thus appears to be of so much importance to our happiness, is of two kinds;— where there is something to be done towards at taining the object of our hope, and where there i ■ nothing to be done. The first alone is of any vatuv'; and the latter being apt to corrupt into ( impatience, having no power but to sit still and j wait, which soon grows tiresome. The doctrine delivered under this head may be readiiy admitted; but how to piovide our-j selves with a succession of pleasurable en-1 garments, is the difficulty. Ttiis requires two j ifilogs; judgment in the choice of enfh adapted \ to our opportunities, and a command ol iinagi-1 nation, so as to be able, when the judgment has made eh »Lv of an end, to transfer a pleasure to tiie nu.ins; after which, the end may be forgot ten as soon as we will. Hence those pleasures are mod valuable, not which are most exquisite in the fruition, but mod productive of engagement and activity in , the pursuit. I a man uuo is m earliest m ms enueuvuis al ter the happiness of a future state, has, in this respect, an advantage over all the world; for he has constantly before his eyes an object of supreme importance, productive of perpetual eningemmit and activity, and of which the pur suit (which can be said of no pm suit, besides) lasts him to his life’s end. Yet even he must have many ends, besides the Jar end; but then they will conduct to that, be subordinate, and in some way or other capable of being referred i to that, and derive their satisfaction, or addition of happiness, from that. Engagement is every thing: the more signifi- j cant, however, our engagements are, the better: , such as the planning of laws.institutions, iuanu- j Pictures, charities, improvements, public works;1 and the endeavoring, by our interest, address, j solicitations, and activity, to cany them into ef- j feet; or upon a smaller scale, the procuring of a I maintenance and fortune for our families by a j course of industry and application to our call-J ing<, which forms and gives motion to the com-1 mon occupations of life; training up a child; pro- j secuting a scheme of his future establishment;. making ourselves masters of a language or a , science; improving or managing an estate; la-, boring after a piece of preferment: and lastly, j any engagement which is innocent, is better than none; as the writing of a book, the build- j ing of a house, the laying out of a garden,j the digging of a fish pond,—even the raising of a j cucumber or a tulip. i Whilst t .he mind is taken up with the objects or j business be fore it, we arecommonly happy, what- j ever the object or business be; when the mind is j absent, ami the thoughts are wandering to some-! thing else than what is passing in the place in which we are, we are often miserable. 111. Happiness depends upon the prudent con stitution of the habits. The art in which the secret of human happi ness in a great measure consists, is to set the ha bits in such a manner, that every change may i be a change for the better. 1 he habits thcni S selves are much the same; for, w hatevei is mane habitual becomes smooth, and easy, and indif ferent. The return to an old habit is likewise : easy, Whatever the habit be. Therefore the I ad vantage is with those habits which allow of an ! indulgence in the deviation from them. The luxurious receive no greater pleasure from their j dainties, than the peasant does from his bread j and cheese; but the peasant, whenever he goes j abroad, finds a feast; whereas the epicure^ must be well entertained, to escape disgust. Those4 who spend every day at curds, and those who . go every day to plough, pass their time much j alike; intent upon what they are about, want- j ing nothing, regretting nothing, they are both in a state off ease: but then, whatever suspends the occupation of the card player, distresses him; whereas to the laborer, every interruption is a refreshment: and this appears in the differ ent effects that Sunday produces upon the two, which proves a day of recreation to the one, but a la turntable burthen to the other. The man who has learned to live alone, feels his spirits enlivened whenever he enters into company, ; and takes his leave without regret; another, who j has long been accustomed to a crowd, or con- i tinudl succession of company, experiences in j company no elevation of spirits, nor any great er satisfaction than what a man of a retired life ] finds in his chimney-corner. So far their con ditions are equal: but iet a change of place, for tune, or situation, separate the companion from his circle, his visitors, his club, coYhmon room or cofP*e house, and the difference and advantage in the choice and constitution of the two habits will show itself You will see the one fretful and restless, at a loss how to dispose of his time, till the hour comes round when he may forget himself in bed; the other, easy and satified, ta king up his book or his pipe, as soon as he finds himself alone, ready to admit any little amuse ment that casts up, or to tm n his hands and at* \ tention to the first business that piesents* itself; or content, without either, to sit still, and let his train of thought glide indolently through his brain, without much u<e perhaps, or pleasure, but without hankering after any thing better, and without irritation. A reader, who has in uted himself to books of science and argument, if a novel, a well written pamphlet, an article of news, a narrative of a curious voyage, or the journal of a traveller, fall in his way, sits down to the repast with relish, enjoys his entertain ment while it lasts, and can return, when if is over, to bis graver reading, without distaste.— Another, with whom nothing will go down but 1 works of humor and pleasantry, or whose curi osity must be interested by perpetual novelty, will consume a booksellers window in half a forenoon; din ing which time he is rather in search of diversion than divntedjand as hooks to his taste are few, and short, and rapidly n?ad over, the stock is soon exhausted, when he is left without resource from his principal supply of innocent amusement. So far as circumstances of fortune conduce to i happiness it is not the income which any man j possesses, toil the increase of income, that af- i fords the pleasure. Two persons, of whom one begins with a hundred, and advances his in come to a thousand pounds a year, and the oili er sets off with a thousand, and dwindles down ; j to a hundred, may, in the course of their time j I have the receipt and spending of the same sum 1 • of money; yet their satisfaction, so fur as fortune j j is concerned in tt, will be very different; the so- ; | ries and sum total of their incomes being the ! l same, it makes a wide difference at'which end 1 they begin. IV. Happiness consists in health. Dy health l understand, as well freedom from ; bodily distemper, as that tranquility, firmness, , and aiacrify of mind, which we call good spi- | rits; and which may properly be included in : our notion of health, ns depending commonly t upon the same causes and yielding to the same , management, as our bodily constitution. ! Health, in this sense, is the one thing needful; Therefore no pains, expense, or self-deni.il, or ! restraint which we submit to for the sake of it, 1 is too much. Whether it require us to relinquish ( lucrative situations, to abstain from favorite in-1 dulgencies; to control intemperate passions, or i undergo tedious regimens; whatever difficulties ! it lays us under, a man who pursues his happi I ness rationally and resolutely, will be content to I submit to. When we arc in pel feet health and spirits, we feel in ourselves a happiness independent of any particular outward gratification whatever, and of which we can give no account. This is an enjoyment which the Deity has annexed to life; and probably constitutes, in a great measure, the happiness of infants and brutes, especially of the lower and sedentary orders of animals, as of oysters, periwinkles, and the like; for which 1 have sometimes been at a loss to find out a musement. The above account of human happiness will justify the two following conclusions, which, al though found in most books of morality, have seldom been supported by any sufficient reasons: Fikst, That happiness is pretty equally distri buted amongst the different orders of civil so ciety. Secondly, That vice has no advantage over , virtue, even with respect to this world’s happi ness. _ ...= . I The cultivation of the sugar beet continues t*> draw attention in this country. Two letters from American gentlemen in France, are pub lished in the Globe, which contain valuable in formation concerning the culture of the beet.— \lr. Konaldson, of Philadelphia,sent a short time since an agent to France, to acquire a know ledge of the whole process of making sugar | from beet<, from the sowing the seed to the ; chrystilization of the material. Mr. Pedder, the ! agent sent, besides collecting as much as he could ot what had been written on the sub- j ject, proceeded to Douay, \ alenciennes and Arras, where the manufacture is conduct- j ed on a large scale and most profitably.— j Mr. Pedder says, that three years ago there ; were thirteen manufactories at \ alenciennes, I and that there are now sixty-four. The price ot land in the neighborhood has risen in that short period from tivc hundred francs an acre to twelve hundred. From one hundred pounds of beet root, they make six pounds of sugar, be sides eight of molasses with which to make sugar of the second quality, and fifteen pounds ot cake sufficient to keep three sheep a day.— This is an important feature in the manufacture that the caput mortuum can 1>e turned to such an account in feeding stock. Mr. Vaughan, of Philadelphia, takes great interest in having the experiment tried in this country. The Ameri can resident in France, in sending his respects to him says, “Mr. Vaughan must be a young I gentleman of my age; I recoiled dining with f him in December, 17^5. at Dr franklin's.7’ < THE INDIAN WAR. | Brigadier General J. E.

War Department, Adj. Gen’s. Office. Wmhim'ton, June 23, 1830. GENERAL ORDER. The gallantry and good conduct of the offi cers and troops in the action the Pth of June, with the Seminole Indians, neai Micanopv, in Florida, where they met and defeated a very superior force of the enemy, merit the thanks of the President: and in consideration of the meritorious conduct of ttie commando* of tiie detachment of regular troops, Major Julius I4. Heileman. of the 2d Regiment of the l .-lined States Artillery, the President of the lT. S. has been pleased and he hereby confers, on that officer, the Brevet of Lieutenant Colonel in the Army. By order: R. Jones, Adj. Gen. From the Mobile Chronicle^Juue 11. Mr. Editor: Through the medium of your pa per, we think it our duty to state some facts of a highly important nature. Last evening, the Sth of June, an Indian, who calls himself O-ha-ba-ta-ca, came into the settle ment on Little river. lie lias been three days coming from Florida, rides a very good pony, and is on his way to the Ouachita tribe of In dians near Red river. The day before lie left the hammock, culled Meta or Rear Hammock, Powell and a young chief, Ho-pa-to-pha, had a personal fight. Powell received a wound in the left side, near the heart, with a hatchet, which instantly caused his death. The friends of the deceased were determined to kill the young chief, but he succeeded in making his escape. We questioned him respecting the dis position of the Indians. He stated that thev would ever he unfriendly to the men who had taken their land. lie also stat d that there was much sickness among them, something like a cholera ora bad bowel complaint, these aio all the facts of an important nature which we learned from him. Jonathan R. Matson, Jacob 3 ickkk>. Near the head waters ol me Little Liver. June 9, 1S36. Mr. White, of Florida, in an address to the People of Florida, speaking of the conduct ol the war, and in reference to General Flinch, says: ‘‘Ho was superseded without any consultation with me; and 1 was only called upon to attend at the W ar Department to seethe orders which had been prepared 1 u* Gen. Scott, and to make any futther suggest! ms that might occur Irom inv* knowledge of the country. 1 could not, ol course, make any objection, after it had been decided upon by the President, to a commander whose com age and talents w ei e so unquestiona ble; and whose former service in the field had shed so much lustre upon the history o' out country. 1 knew, too, that objections would have been unavailing. My regret then was. that a man so competent, in every respect, as Gen. Flinch—wtth a pci feet knowledge of the country—accustomed, from a long re idence to the climate, and identified with the interest and prosperity of the Territory, should be supersed ed by any one.*1 The Tallahassee Floridian of the ith inst. contains a long letter from Maj. Read (whom Gen. Scott recently reported to the War De partment as a liar and a coward,) to Gov. Fail, giving an account of his successful elf-rt to relieve the* brave little garrison that wei<* loft to perish, by starvation or butchery, at Camp McLemore on the W’ythlacoochee. It does not differ materially from the unofficial ac counts heretofore published. Vv e, however, make an extract, in which, it will be seen, he does not spare Gen. Scott: “The future operations of this war, to be suc cessful. must, l respectfully submit, bo conduct ed not with the very laudable view of pursuing such small parties of the enemy, a^ annoyed the army of Florida in its grand movements and ascertaining their sex, but their towns must be burnt down, their provisions destroyed, their growing crops cut down, and lastly their women and children must besought and captured. In attempting to accomplish the objects above in dicated, or perhaps either of them, the enemy might be brought to a general engagement, to render the result of which perfectly satisfactory to the supposed present views of the diplomatic agent of tho War Department, only one thou sand volunteers, would lie quite adequate—am ply sufficient, especially if those volunteers hnp- , pencil to lie from that community, to be a com- j manding general in which is deemed so great a misfortune. ! I do not hesitate, Sir, to declare as my nrm ! conviction, that one thousand men, such as the population ol this Territory can even now at- j lord, under the command of an active and on-' terptismg onicer, will if ordered to act in si multaneous and cooperative movement, with expeditions hy water, such as recommended, j bring this disgraceful war t<> a close in loss than j three months, and long before the "three thou- j sand good troops,” so much desired, can be j brought into the Jield. Should it be ascertained ; that that force cannot be raised from our op pressed and harrassed country, an appeal to the I gallant sons of the West will bring us the means of preventing, in an effectual manner, those in cursions, which seem sometimes almost to threaten the existence of the Territory. J he fancied uuhealthiness of tiie climate, can no J longer be urged against the continuance of active , operations against the enemy in summer. Should a campaign be resolved upon, a mea-1 sure which I would most respectfully, but car- i nestly urge upon tiie consideration of your ex cellency, more can be accomplished at this sea son, June and July, with less expense of life and treasure, than at any other, it is notorious to: all. who have observed the operations of our j climate, that May, June, and July are the most j healthy mouths, of the spring, summer and fall, j In corroboration of this remark, I have to com- j municate a fact, not less interesting and gratify-1 big to the humane ami benevolent, that it must j be valuable in the future operations of govern- : ment. There was not a case of disease in the j block-house, and but one of even slight indis position, though the miserable edifice had no i roof on it, and the moil subsisted for upwards of ■ twenty days, without moat, without bread, and j without salt; parched corn and coarse hominy J made in a worn out hand mill were their only i food: tiie maize had been exposed to the weather for nearly the whole period of tlaur detention. 1 have said more could he accomplished.—Tiie . women and children ot the enemy can now be , found, wherever their plantations are. ami for- j tiher their crops arc now growing and may be i destroyed. i CONGRESS. In the House of Representatives on Saturday; After several motions relating to the priority ol business, which were rejected, The House resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole, (Mr. Loyall in the chair,) in exe- j cution ol the special Order of the Day, for the j consideration of the bills relating to the District of Columbia.
