The substantial packet Schooner Seavcngrr, will
sail By order of the people of the United States.
for the head waters of Salt River, during the
month of November. She carries out as pas
senger the Hon. HENRY CLAY who, after
having sought Office at the hands of the said peo-
pie for more than twenty years, has at length re-
ceived the appointment OF Collector of Customs
at the head waters of said riIer---zt which point
it is expected he will prove in his acioI capacity
that high tariffs make cheap goods. He will
carry out strong corps of Surveyors, tide-waiters
bum -baiif1s, &c. and as the country Is new and
unsettled, it is thought these officers will find con-
slant employment. The following appointments
have already been made: Sarveyors-Millanrd
Fillmore, of New York, Gen. Markle, of Penn
syvania, Berrien, Of Georgia, and Morehead, Of
North Carolina. TideaoGiters-Stanly, Cherry,
and Palmer, of North Carolina, and Pleasants,
of Virginia Bun-beat Womem-Messrs Man
gum and Badger of North Carolina. These last
appointments are considered peculiarly appropri-
ute. Mr.. Mangum, it is thought, will sing three
times day, at least, song Of thankfulness for
having been delivered from Mr. Edmunds, of
Virginia, while Mr.. B. will serve as beacon, by
standing at the mouth of Old Sak every night
with mammoth cigar in,his mouth. The Col
lector, it is presumed, will permit aim to while
away the long hours of the night by uttering
threats Of revolution TO intimidate the bats and
owls.


From the extraordinary abilities displayed by
the Collector as a Letter-writer, the public may
expect many curious and interesting accounts from
the head waters of Salt River It is hoped he
will be able TO give a satisfactory reason for the
strange and inexplicabIe fact that although many
go up Old Salt, none were ever known to come
dOrun it.


IS. The Little Blo,oer goes out as TTum-
peter to the whole crowd. He will charge each
member of the company only shilling fot the
privilege of sailing in the same boat with him
self, and as the collector has proclaimed the right
to play cards royal one, and therefore exclu-
sively his own, the Blower wiU HOt it is thought
be permitted 10 render himself more notorious
than he already is in the line of safe" card
playing. Success to the EXPEDITION.
