WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 3.
We are requested to state that a Barbecue will
be given by Mr. Sueaiian, at Hampton Course,
to-morrow, between the hours of 4 and 5 o’clock,
and that preparations have been made for the ac
commodation of some 4 or 500 persons, more or
floss.
It appears to be pretty well established, says
tlyjgßaltimore Chronicle, that Lieutenant Moore,
of the U. S. Navy, him accepted the commander[
the Texas Navy, and that he will carry with him
twenty or thirty of our young officers. It is said
in the Boston Atlas that Com. Thomas Ap. C.
Jones, volunteered for this command, and that
Lieut. Moore agreed to serve under him, but that
the services of Com. J. were not accepted on ac
count of his advanced ago.
The New Albany la. Argus says, that Gen
Stapp, as Fund Commissioner, has negotiated for
Indiana, a loan of §4,000,000, to be appropriated
to the prosecution of Internal Improvements.
The steam ship British Queen was to leave
Portsmouth, July Ist, for New York, as appears
by an advertisement, which gives her tonnage at
2016, and 500 horse power, with Lieut. Richard
Roberts as commander. The British Queen is
intended to depart on the first of each alternate
month, from London and New York, through
out the year.
The Yiiioinians call the following a Sockdo
loger—Gov. Cannon, of Tennessee, in reply to
tpcaker Polk, at Winchester, in that State, a few
ays ago, forcibly illustrated one of the evil ten
dencies of the Sub Treasury scheme, by the strong-
J est of all possible modes of argument,—the rcla
| tion of actual occurrences.
“ Fellow citizens, (ho said.) many of you, I be
lieve were but recently volunteers in an arduous
ii Florida campaign. You well know how you suf
■ fared there; and also know that the pay you reN
ft ceived, by the direction ot the present hard mo
■ nay Administration, was about 25 or 30 cents per
I Gay in shinplasters, while my ‘honorable’ compe-
K titor, who now solicits your votes, was shovelling
y into his pocket sixteen dollars a day in gold and
H silver ! This is the meaning, I take it. of the

Havana, Juno 17, 1839.
Admiral Baudin, in the French frigate Ncreide,
if with the steamer Meteore, and gun brigDunois,
I went to sea on the 15th. The steamer Phaeton
b is stiil in port. Admiral Baudin, it is said, is
bound for New York.
The English brig of war Sappho, Lieutenant
Frazier, and schooner of war Pickle, arrived here
on the 13th. The latter gave chase to a slaver
under Portuguese colors, oil' the Isle of Pines,
and obliged her to run ashore. She has brought
to this port about 160 negroes, taken from the
slaver, the rest, with the crew, escaped. The
~ slaver was set on lire and burned.
There is some considerable sickness among the
crews of the shipping in port, but in the city it is
generally healthy.
From Nova Scotia. —The Revenue Cutter
Himilton, Capt. Sturgis, despatched on the 1 llh
mi. by the Secretary of the Treasury, to inquire
into the causes of the seizures of fishermen un
der the flag of the United States, returned on
Saturday afternoon, and immediately made his
report to the (Jollectoi of this port. The report
11 will probably be published in a day or two.—
Capt. Sturgis states that there had been no addi
tional seizures of fishermen. On her arrival at
£ Yarmouth, N. S. the Hamilton was received by
a salute of twenty-two guns, which was returned.
Capt. S. and his officers received every attention
from the authorities there. — Boston Adv.
Oun Navy and Army. —The Norfolk Bea
con alludes to the line condition of the British
Navy, and forcibly observes :
“The better prepared any nation is for war, the
less the danger of actual hoslilites. It England
had not a ship in commission, nor a single three
decker in her dockyards, the danger of war would
be a thousand fold greater than now. It is in the
capacity to repel aggression promptly and effec
tively, that nations can ente tain reasonable hopes
of peace. And we trust that our government
will reflect upon the ugly questions that the
I troubles on the Canada and New Brunswick
frontiers may force upon it, and prepare forthwith
to put our Navy and Army in the best possible
condition. It is an humbling reflection that a
few three deckers from Great Britain, can lay an
embargo on our ports whenever the British min
istry so resolves. Wo have the highest confi
dence in the valor of our people—we know what
they have accomplished under the pressure of al
most intolerable difficulties and dangers—but all
the experience of the past admonishes us to an
ticipate in time of peace the preparations of ac

Canal across the Isthmus or Panama.—
! i The Republic of New Grenada has granted to a
| company the privilege ol making a canal, railroad,
or macadamised road, over this isthurns. In 1830
this p ivilege was accorded to Col. Charles Uid-
I . die. The conditions of the privilege not having
been fulfilled, it has been granted to a company
associated with the house of Solomon & Co. of
Guadaloupe. The agent of this company is now
in Europe, with the view of raising the means,
and making the preparations for this enterprise.
The conditions of tho contract are concisely
jt these :
1. The intermarine communication must ter
g urinate at one end, in the town ol Panama. It
K; may be a canal, a railroad, or macadamised road.
2. If a canal he made, the duties of transports
tion to accrue to the Government shall ho one
per cent.
3. The navigation of the river Chagrcs, in ca
noes, shall not he interrupted.
4. Vessels under the New Grenadian flag shall
pay ten per cent less toll, than those of other na
tions; that is, ten per cent oil the toll.
5. This privilege shall continue fifty years,
from the completion of the work, for which six
years are allowed.
(i. The company shall begin their operations
in three years from the date of the contract.
Failing to comply with this condition they shall
pay $25,000 penalty to the slate.
7. At the end of the term of this privilege, (fif
ty years,) the canal shall become the property of
the republic.
It may safely he predicted that the funds for
making this canal, under the present contract,
will never he raised. Contrary to the usual in
ducement to embark in such enterprises, that of
an increasing value in the stork, in the present
case, the slock must diminish in value every day,
since it must become the property of the state at
the end of fifty years.— O' lube.

Mormon Meeting.
Agreeably to public notice, a meeting was he ld
in the College Chapel last evening, which was
opened by a few remarks from a gentleman ac
companying Mr. Greene ; after which Mr. Greene
gave a statement of the early settlement of the
Mormons in Missouri, and a history of their per
secution, which has hardly a parallel even in the
persecution of the primitive Christians. They
were ruthlessly driven from their homes; their
property destroyed ; the* women and children
forced into the woods, without any shelter from
the inclemency of the weather, (it being in the
month of January) where they roamed about till
their feel became so sore that their enemies track
ed them by foot prints of blood. The men were
in many instances cruelly murdered. On one
occasion the mob attacked a smith shop, into
which nine of the Mermans and two boys had
taken refuge; it being a log house, the mob fired
between the logs and killed every individual of
the nine men ; they then entered and dragged
the two boys from under the bellows, who begged
for mercy in most piteous tones; one of the mis
creants applying his rifle to the ear of the young
est, (who was but nine years old, said,‘My lad,
we have no time to quarter you, hut we will halve
you,’ and immediately shot away the whole up
per portion of his head. The other boy was se
verely wounded in the hip, but had the presence
of mind to fall and remain quiet, and so escaped;
he is still living, and is at Quincy, 111. Speaking
of the massacre, ho said, “they had killed my fa
ther and brother, and I was afraid if I moved
they would kill me too.’) To rap the climax, the
villians plundered the dead bodies of their clothes,
&c. In another instance a part of the mob pur
sued an aged man, who, finding he could not
escape, turned, and raising his hands to Heaven,
begged for mercy; the reply he received was a
shot from a rifle, and he fell mortally wounded ;
he still besought them to spare him, when one
of the party picked up a scythe, or sickle, and
literally hacked him to pieces us he lay on the
ground. This man assisted in the achievement
of our liberties in the revolutionary war. Mr.
Greene’s narrative contained many such instan
ces, and was indeed a talc of blood and sufl’er
ing at which the heart sickens.
[At the next meeting a full account of these
transactions will he given, in extenso, wc hope.
And he it remembered, their truth is established
beyond a doubt.]
Hon. Thomas Morrir (hen addressed the meet
ing. Ho said lie had been in the vicinity of
these transactions, and had taken some pains to
acquaint himself with the facts; and from all he
could Iciirn, the Mormons were an industrious
and harmless people; that no specific charges had
been brought against them, by the executive of
Missouri, but that their persecution was for no
other reason than that their religion gave offence to
a rnob—for causes which may atany lime induce
the same persecution of any religious sect in our
land. He said he believed the statements made
by the gentleman to be true, and that they were
corroberated by those who resided in the vicinity
of their occurrence.
On motion, a chairman and secretary were ap
pointed, and resolutions passed condemning the
conduct of the executive of Missouri; appointing
a committee to prcpaic a statement of the treat
ment received by this distressed people, and rec
ommending them to the favorable notice ol the
people of Cincinnati.
The meeting then adjourned, to meet next
Monday evening at the same place.
Attempted Escape, and Death of a Con
vict.—On Sunday, the 23d ult, one of the con
victs on Blackwell's Island, near New York, na
med Isaac Stag, recently sentenced for three years
was found to bo missing from his place of con
finement. Search was made, and he wasdiscov
ered attempting to make good his escape by swim
ming a:ross the East river. He was hailed by
the sentinel on shore, to wdiich, however, the un
fortunate convict paid no attention, he being then
nearly in the middle of the current, when the for
mer fired, and, as Stagg immediately sunk, it is
supposed that the ball must have struck his head*
and caused instant death. Nothing was after
wards seen of him, nor has the body been yet re
covered.
Light Houses lighted with Gas.— The
Light House at Barcelona, in Chautauquo coun
ty, is lighted by natural gas, which escapes from
fissures in the rocks near the shore. Ihe supply
is a never failing one and no light equals it in
power. A rude reservoir has been erected over
one of the fissures in the rock, by which the gas
is conveyed in pipes to the Light House. The
Buffalo Advertiser reminds us that gas streams
similar to those at Portland or Barcelona, exist in
the neighborhood of Fredonia, a few miles from
Barcelona, and that the supply obtained from
them has been used for lighting that flourishing
village—hut few have any knowledge of the fact
above mentioned. It is certainly curious that
gas of so pure a quality, should issue from the
earth in such quantities, and for such a length
of time.— N. Y. Express.
It is stated in the Pittsburg Gazette that Cap
tain Pepin,—who, in conjunction with Lieut.
Sharonbien, both of the Russian Naval Engineer
set vice, is visiting the States on the Ohio and
Mississippi, in order to make themselves ac
quainted with the steamboat navigation on those
waters,—has reached that city in the prosecution
0 f the duty confided to him. Among other mat
ters which engaged his attention at Pittsburg, was
th c United Slates snag boat, for the removal of
from the rivers, of which he has made a
drawing with an expectation that similar boats
may lie found useful on thc Don and Wolga, and
other Russian rivers.
The cunning of the Fox is illustrated by the
following anecdote from the Spirit of the Times:
“W amlenng, some time since, along the shore
ot Long Island, and not far from Smithlown, my
attention was suddenly arrested by the peculiar
juxtaposition of a fox and a flock of wild geese,
that were lazily and confidently floating down the
current along the verge of sedge which thickly
coated the hanks. Reynard, as soon as he obsei
ved the approach of his intended prey, betook
himself to a device worthy of Talleyrand. Ho
seized upon a largo bunch of sedge grass—drop
ped quietly into the stream, and having swam
just so far into the stream as to intercept his float
ing game, “marked time,” with all Ids body n er
ged, except the tip end of his nose, capped with
the aforesaid bunch of sedge grass, until lie found
himself in the midst of the unsuspecting flock,
when, throwing offhis disguise, he made a dash I
at, and secured two fine geese, which he bore olf 1
triumphantly. I having no disposition to inter
fere in so admirably conducted a specimen of his
legitimate vocation.”
Tub Last Thial op Fidelity.—The reign
of Napoleon, worried and ransacked as it has
been by the writers of memoirs, recollections and
histories, is a mine that still lias a multitude of
rich, and, as yet,unexplored views. The history
of the secret associations that spring up in the
latest days of the emperor would form a most
curious and interesting volume, ami there would
| be no lack of materials to till it. The society of
the United Brothers alone, would furnish pages
of the most absorbing interest, while nothing
could appeal more forcibly to the imagination
than the strange and dramatic episodes collected
with its mysterious imitation. Perhaps a hun
dred incidents might he related as striking and
well conceived as the following.
An officer of the French army, having incur
red the suspicion or resentment of the Emperor,
thought it expedient to abandon his country, and
take refuge in one of the Austrian provinces;
and here he became advised of, and initiated into
a society, the object of whose formation was to
hurl to the ground the Colossus whose arm smote
and governed the whole continent of Europe
with a sceptre of iron. One day a letter was
brought to him, containing the usual signs and
passwords of the society, and requiring him to
repair on tho following night to a secluded spot
in a forest, where he would meet some of his as
sociates. He went, butho found nobody.—The
orders were repeated four times; the officer
sought the appointed place, with no better sue- I
cess than the first. On the fifth night of his ap
poaranco at the. rendezvous, after waiting some
time, he was on the point of returning, when
loud cries suddenly arrested his attention.
Drawing his sword, he hastened to tho spot
whence they seemed to proceed, and was fired
upon by three men, who, on seeing that ho re
mained unwounded, instantly took to flight—
but at bis feet lay the bleeding corpse, in which,
by the feeble light of the moon, he in vaiusought
for tokens of returning animation. He was yet
bending over the dead man, when a detachment
of chasseurs, summoned apparently by the noise
of the p.stills that had l«en discharged by him
self, came uy> suddenly and arrested him as the
assassin. He was loaded with chains, tried the
next day, and condemned to die for his supposed
crime. His execution was ordered to take place
at midnight. Surrounded by the ministers of
justice, ho was led, at a slow pace, by the light of
torches, and the funeral tolling of bells, to a vast
square, in the centre of which was a scaffold, en
vironed by horsemen ; beyond these were a nu
merous group of spectators, who muttered impa
patiently, and at intervals sent forth a cry of ab
horrence.
The victim mounted the scaffold, and his sen
tence was read, and the first act of tragedy was
on the point of fulfilment, when an officer let fall
a word of hope. An edict had just been pro
mulgated by the government offering a pardon
and life to any condemned criminal who should
disclose tho members and secret tokens of a par
ticular association. the existence of which the
Frenchman to whom these words were address
ed had lately become aware of, and of which ho
had become a member. Ho was questioned, hut
he denied all knowledge, they urged him to con
fess, with promises of additional reward—bis on
ly reply was a demand for immediate death—and
his initiation was completed.
All that passed was a terrible trial of fidelity,
■ those who surrounded him were members of the
society, and every incident that has been descri
bed, from the summons to the last moment of ex
pected death, was only a step in the progress of
the fearful experiment by which he sought to de
t termine the trustworthiness of the neophyte.—

i Charlotte ( (mice, the Assassin of Gene
ral Marat.
Charlotte Cordee was born at St. Saturnindes
Ligncrcts.in the year 17G8. Nature bad bestow
ed on her a handsome person, wit, feeling, and
masculine energy of understanding. She received
her education in a convent; hut disdaining the
frivolous miutia! of that species of education, she
, labored with constant assiduity to cultivate her
' own powers, and hourly strengthened that bent
. of her imagination towards the grand and sublime,
which accorded with the inflexible purity of her
, manners, while it fitted her for that perilous en
r terprise, to which, at the age ot 25, she tell a dc
, voted sacrifice.
. Her love of study rendered her careless of the
• homage that her beauty attracted, and her desire
i of independence caused her to refuse many offers
i of marriage from men to whom her heart was in
, different. But even philosophy and patriotism
. could not always render their fair and heroic dis
[ ciple invulnerable to the shafts of love. The
young and handsome Bellzunee, major-cn second
■ of the regiment of Bourbon, quartered at Caen,
became devoted to her and succeeded in inspiring
her with a passion as virtuous as profound. This
young officer was massacred on the 11th of August
1789, by a furious multitude, after Marat in sev
eral numbers of his journal called V Aami du
People, had denounced the unfortunate Bellzunee,
as a counter-revolutionist.
From that moment the soul of Charlotte Cor-
I j ee knew no happiness, and reposed only on the
I desire of vengeance upon him whom she believed
| to be the author of her misery.
To execute with perseverance and caution that !
! which she had planned upon principle, was natu- !
| ral to the determined and steady mind of Char- |
lotte Cordee. She left Caen on the 9th of July |
1798, and arrived on the third day about noon at )
! Paris. Some commissions with which she was |
j charged by her family and friendr, occupied her J
the first day of her arrival. Early on the next
morning she went to the Palais Royal, bought a
knife, and, getting into a hackney coach drove to
the house of Marat. It was not then possible for
her to obtain an audience of him, though she left
nothing unassayed, that she thought likely to in
fluence in her favor the persons who denied her
admittance.
Being returned to her hotel, she wrote the fol- ,
lowing letter to Marat— <
“ Citizen —l amjust arrived from Caen. Vottr
love for your country inclines mo to suppose you '
will listen with much pleasure I*' the secret events 1
of that part of the republic. I will present my
self at your house; have the goodness to give or- ,
ders for my admission, and grant me a moment’s ,
private conversation: I can point to the means by \
which you can render an important service to ;
France.”
When Charlotte Cordee arrived at the house
of Marat, between seven and eight in tiro evening,
and spoke impressively of her desire to see him,
o the woman who opened the door Marat, who
heard her from Iris bath, where ire then was, con
cluded it was the person from whom he had re
ceived the letter of the morning, and ordered that
she should immediately he admitted.
Being left alone with him she intended to im
molate to the monos of her lover and the injuries
of her country, and sitting close by his side, she
answered with the most perfect self-possession his
eager question concerning the proscribed deputies
at Caen. Ho demanded their names, with those
of the magistrates at Calvados, nil of whom she
named accurately. While ho wrote memoran
dums oftheir conversation upon his table, Char
lotte Cordee, measured with her eye (he spot
whereon to strike; when, Marat having said that
all of these deputies and their accomplices should
expiate their treason on the scullold, her indigna
tion received his words as a signal of vengeance ;
she snatched the weapon from her bosom, and
buried the knife in his heart! a single exclama
tion escaped from the raise ruble wretch —‘For me. 1 '
he said and expired.
Tranquil and unmoved amid the general con
sternation, Charlotte Cordee, ns if she proposed
to atone for the murder, however she deemed it
necessary, by a public death, did not even attempt
her eseape.—Shu had received several violent
blows on her head, from a neighbor of Marat, the
person who ran into the room on hearing the news
of his assassination ; hut when the armed force
arrived, she put herself under their protection.—
An officer of the police drew up minutes of the
* assassination, which she cheerfully signed, and
was then conveyed to the prison of the Abbey.
Calumniated, abused, and even personally ill
treated by the faction of Marat she was three days
exposed in her dungeon to all the insults and ill
usage, before she was brought to trial. During
this interval, she had found means to write to her ,
father imploring his forgiveness for having thus
disposed (.flier life without his concurrence.
It was in the presence of the men about to de
cide upon her death, one should have seen Char
lotte Cordee, to have felt the grandeur of her
character. The records of the trial, and her own
letters, give a faint picture of her dignified and
noble deportment. If she despised the men who
satin judgement on her life, she forbore to insult
them; hut replied to their vi iterated questions with
a composure and presence of mind that astonished
them,.; while her face amt person were animated
with the bloom of youth and beauty, her words
were graced with the eloquence of a sago!
The defence made by her counsel deserves to
he recorded here for its peculiar propriety in her
circumstances.
“ You have hoard,” said her counsel, altogether
confounded by the courage she had displayed,
“the answers of the prisoner; she acknowledges
her guilt—sin even acknowledges, in a very de
liberate manner, her long predetermination of the
event. She has not suffered even the most revolt
ing of its circumstances to pass unnoticed by you.
•She confesses the whole charge, and does not
seek in any manner to justily herself, in the very
presence I may say of death; ibis absence of all
remorse; these are so far from being natural, that
they can only he resolved into that political frenzy,
which places a poignard in the hands of a maniac,
and it is for you, citizen jurors, to determine what
weight this consideration ought to have in the
balance of justice.”
After the tumult and loud applause that fol
lowed her condemnation had ceased, she addres
dl herself to her counsel—“ You have defended
me," she said in a manner ns generous as deli
cate ; "it was the only one that could have ren
dered me that service which was in your power;
accept my thanks and my esteem. Those gen
tlemen inform me that my property is confiscated,
hut there arc some little debts to pay in my pris
on ; and as a proof of the esteem 1 hear you, I
give the performance of this my last duty into
your hands.
'I he hour of her punishment, had drawn im
mense crowds into every avenue to the place of
the execution. When she appeared alone with
the executioner, in the cart, in despite of the con
strained attitude in which she sat, and of the dis
order of her dress, she excited the silent admira
tion of those even who were hired to curse her.
One man alone had courage to raise his voice in
her praise; he, was a deputy from the city of
Mentz—his name was Adam Laix. He cried—
“S/ie. i. V greater than lirutus He published
the same sentiment, and signed his own condem
nation. He was shortly after guillotined.

-1 daily those who are desirous of embarking in
the growth of Silk ; be it known that in the early
part of Ibis past spring, being determined to make
a permanent business of it, 1 visited, in person, the
North, for the purpose of obtaining the best Silk
Worm Kggs, and from my facilities for information,
1 am induced to be.icve that 1 procured as good as
could bo had, perhaps in any section of the country,
and this season I have been employed in feeding
about two hundred and fifty thousand worms. I
shall therefore have a good supply of Kggs for sale
by the first of July, which may lie bought at any
time during the present year. 1 have the Yellow,
the Sulphur, the Mammoth White, and a few of the
two crop or small worm. The eggs' of the last I
purchased from Mr. Plant, of Augusta. 1 will sell
on as reasonable and accommodating terms a any
one. Orders specifying the quantity and kind
wanted will meet with prompt attention. There
may he some who suppose it to bo all important to
feed on the multicanlis, to such 1 would say that 1
have fed entirely this season on the native mul
berry, and from experience, I find that the worm
will do well on them. 1 have seen sewing silk
made from the native mulberry of a superior qual
ity, and it is my opinion that the multicanlis will
add nothing to live health and prosperity of the
worm, yet I believe that the texture of the silk
produced from the multicanlis will he somewhat
superior, and that the vise of it will save much
trouble and some expense. And now, as a native
Georgian, suffer me to say to my countrymen, that
the raising of Silk is rot such a humbug as some
suppose, but will bear the test of close calculation,
in the which it will prove to be much more lucra
tive and less laborious than the culture of cotton,
and in all probability .will remain so for many
years. ANSEL M. ALBRITTON.

THE LIMESTONE AM) CIIALV-
J», A lIHATH SPRINHS, Spartanburg Dis
p, ■ajj trict, S.C. ninety-five miles from Charles
. Ihilhw ton, and fifty from (Ircenville.
The undersigned has the pleasure to inform the
public, that tlie elegant and extensive accommoda
tions prepared for the reception of visitors at this
place, will be entirely finished by the 10th of dune
next. Drum three to four hundred persons can he
accommodated —-comfortable and airy rooms are
prepared for familea in the large brick building, oj
it preferred, line apartments will be assigned to
them in the dilt’creiit Cottages.
There is an abundant supply of Ice, Wines, &c.
on hand. Amusements of every kind will he With
in t lie reach ot visitors. The country around the
Springs admits of a variety of excursions, on horse
hack or in carriages.
Tim Limestone Spring is a highly medicinal
water. In add lion to Lime, there is found Magne
sia and Epsom Salts in it; ami the great quantity
of Carbonic arid gas, constantly escaping from the
Spring, renders the water very light. To Dyspe i.
lies, and persons laboring under liver complaints,or
of constipated habits, experience enables ns to say
that this water is in valuable. If any visitor labor- .
ing under any of these diseases lias ever visited
the place, and not been benelitted, it is to ns un
known. There arc two fine Chalybeate Springs,
one rising out of the Limestone Quarry, and the
other a short distance below it. hi addition to iron,
11103- are supposed by many to contain other active
ingredients. Since they have been discovered,they
have been found to bo very henelicial to many
weak and debilitated persons.
The grounds about the Springs are beautifully
laid out, and alford many fine anil delightful walks.
Several intelligent and respectable gentlemen
have settled permanently at the Springs, and con
si it ute at all times a delightful society. They have
made their settlements with a two-fold object,
health and the education of their children. For
this latter purpose they have established two ex
cellent schools —a Male Academy, under the di
rection of Mr. Housa, and a Female Academy un
der the cure of Miss Williams. Jloth schools merit
every encouragement —they are well conducted',,
and imparting to their respective pupils, sound and
good education. Familiimvisiting the Springs,will
have the opportunity of placing their children in
these excellent schoo s. Mr. Saunier, will teach
Music during the summer months, Ins qualifications
are equal to any instruction which may be required..
A competent instructor or instructress in Dancing,,
is expected,and will be certainly in attendance to
nstruct all who may desire it,
These arc some of the inducements which are pre
sented to the public, to favor the Limestone Springs
with their patronage. When it is remembered that
tins establishment owes its foundation to the liberal
ity and patriotism of many gentlemen who have
advanced large sums of money for the purpose of
presenting to the people of South Carolina and
(ieorgia, a place of health and relaxation, almost at
their own doors, it is to be imped that it will not
languish, decline and die for the want of patronage.
’Flic thousands expended in Northern travelling,
may be saved, and the people of tlio seaboard and
the mountains may enjoy all the mutual benefit of
travel ami intercourse.
To the religious public (lie undersigned would
sa3’, that gaming and all such gross irregularities us
would he offensive to them, are prohibited at this
establishment. Arrangements are in progress for
having divine service on every sabbath, which we
hope and believe wiilbe successful. Persons can bo
as private, secluded and retired as thc> r please.
For Dyspeptics and invalids a separate tabic will
lie prepared, where they can have every accommu
dation they may require.
The universally admitted salubrity of the cli
mate, together with the immense mineral produc
tions of the neighborhood, will open a field for spec
ulation and amusement for leisure travellers.
In addition to the above inducements, we have
six arrivals and departures of mails, each week.—
Accommodation Stages to I ircenville, twice a week,
and after the Ist of July there will be a Hack to
Union, on every Wednesday, to meet the Columbia
stage.
To sportsmen :f rna3' be some inducement to know
