THE ADVOCATE.
BRUNSWICK, (C, v.) JULY 27, 181/7 |
The early history of the North American
Colonies attests the correctness of the obser
vation, that “truth is stranger 4han fiction.”—
There is is .a romantic interest cast around the
European settlers of this country, far surpass
ing that attached to the verse of the Poet, or
the tale of .the Eastern Improvisator.
What a fund of thought springs up from the
contemplation of the stern Puritan, “half soldier
ami half priest,” making himself a home “on
the wild New England shore”—giving up the
pleasant pltices of Old England, sundering the
ties of kindred, and seeking across the Atlantic
a place to worship God. His strange incon
sistencies, equally ready to wield disputed
texts in support of his favorite tenets, or wea
pons of death in defence of his fireside—com
batting with the same zeal and obstinacy
against an opposing sectarian or the Indian
foe. What a strange blending of the most in
congruous elements, and yet what a fearful
whole ! —resembling those efforts of the pain
ter, in which the mingling of different colors
produces a dark indistinct picture, which can
only be seen in a particular-light, but once
seen strikes terror to the heart
Then the peaceful Quaker, what a beautiful
illustration of the doctrines ofhis Master—what
an approach to perfection. Read the narrative
of his life, and you find the spirit of romance
even beneath the broad brim and quaint appar
el of Penn.
The hapless Catholics of Maryland rise up
in judgment against us. The first to proclaim
the doctrine of religious toleration, but who to
the disgrace of human nature, so soon fell be
fore the demons of fanaticism and intolerance.
Talk as we may of Papal supremacy, the fact
cannot be concealed, that the Protestants have
done their share of persecuting. If blood
stains tlio mitre of the Pope, some drops may
he discovered on the dress of the Puritan.—
These strifes we fear are not the offspring
of peculiar dogmas, but arise from the cruelty
and ambition of men.
W 1 lat a brilliant character is that of Raleigh,
the graceful courtier, accomplished statesman
and gallant knight,—the favorite of the haugh
ty Elizabeth and her splendid Court, the victim
of the weak and cowardly James. Smith, too,
the rough soldier of fortune, at one time fight
ing before the walls of Turkish cities, and per
illing life in single combats for the entertain
ment of Paynim ladies—then languishing in
captivity, and now planting the Colony of Vir
ginia. So long as the “Old Dominion” retains
a trace of her greatness, will the polished
Raleigh and chivalrous Smith be remembered
and honored. Full justice has been done to
all of these great men- Fortune has dealt
more justly with them.than with ordinary men,
ami while the evil that they did has been in
terred with their hones, the good lives after
them. So has it not fared with one of the
noblest of that brilliant constellation of wor
thies, —Oglethorpe has been permitted to re
main in comparative obscurity—his eminent
virtues, wonderful industry, untiring persever
ance and invincible courage, have been but
slightly appreciated. In fact the history of
Georgia yet remains to be written, and this
neglect is the more remarkable, since the his
tory of no Colony is more full of “moving ac
cidents by field and flood.” A frontier settle
ment with the Indians fierce and unfriendly
on one border, and the Spaniards as merciless
and more powerful on another, she was plunged
in formidable wars from which she was only
preserved by the wonderful resources of Ogle
thorpe, who proved himself equal to the trying
emergencies, and superior in military talent to
the officers opposed to him. Georgia is indebt
ed to him for her existence, and some son of
her soil should pay back a portion of the
debt of gratitude by giving to the world a full
record of this great man’s deeds.
Y\ c have been led to these reflections by
reading the communication in another column,
which gives a slight sketch of the history of
Oglethorpe Bay.
Gen. M. B. Lamar, Vice President of Texas,
is now on a visit to Macon. He was escorted
into town by the Independent Companies of
Macon. Capt. Seymour of the Volunteers ad
dressed him in an appropriate manner to which
the General replied. lie was then conducted
to the Methodist Church, where he addressed
a crowded audience at great length and with
much feeling, llis subject was Texas. The
reception lie has met. on his return to his na
tive State is enthusiastic and must almost tempt
him to give up his new home.
The Jacksonville Courier has changed pro
prietors and editors. The Indian troubles have
given to this paper a degree of interest which
has made it much sought for. Its late editor
conducted it with much ability, and though a
vowing himself an enemy to Brunswick (as in- j
terfering with Florida,) we are sorry to lose so'
lair and honorable an opjioneiit.

[For the Brunswick Advocate.]
The Lombardo, Venetian Kingdom of Upper \
Italy, belonging to the house of Austria, has
been frequently styled the Garden of Europe,
and it was not until a passage by sea was dis
covered, that the Italians were deprived of the
India trade, and those Republics declined.
The products of this portion of Italy are
vines, olives, fruits, corn, rice, pulse, cotton
and various other vegetables, which the Po
and other rivers waft along to a market
Here, we have the vine, the olive, corn, rice,
cotton, and various other delicious fruits and
vegetables, which the Altamaha, the Turtle,
Satilla and Chatahoochie rivers would help to
waft to our beautiful central sea port if the
fascinating, alureing hope of gain, could arouse
commercial energy to throw open the Port of
Brunswick to the world!
Here, if we have no Alps or Alpenines, we
hav e a boundless forest of stately pines, rival
ing in salubrity the famed Dodonian groves,
and raising up annually a supply of spars and
plank sufficient for the most magnificent fleet
that ever floated on the deep !
Here, our seaboard has a line of Island bar
riers, which, while they keep in check -old
ocean’s angry surge, and abound with .Vain/
'Timber, form a Bay; the most spacious
and salubrious on the Southern coast, and
which I design presently to show, admitted the |
Spanish fleet with d,(;00 troops in 1756.
The viper tongue of calumny must be hush
ed, and the scoff of sarcasm will be less
weighty than the thistle down that is wafted
to and fro by the soft breeze of spring, when
the early history of Brunswick, now Oglethorpe
Bay, is investigated. Knox, in his considera
tions on the British Empire, while acting under
Secretary of State, addressed to the Right
Honorable Lord Rawdon, after eloquently de
scribing the policy of England to her Colonies,
observes, that the Trustees of Georgia, made i
wise by all former experience, adopted a differ
ent plan from all their predecessors.
They kept their aristocracy as well as their;
Legislature at home, for they made laws in j
England, and sent them out ready cut and 1
dryed to their settlers, with their civil and mil-j
itary Governor, General James Oglethorpe;
and the result was, that after continuing in
possession of the country near 20 years, and
expending to die amount of four score thousand
pounds of public and private monies, there was
not a single plantation settled in the Province of
Georgia, when they resigned their charter. j
During die administration of Governor Ellis
in 1756, there was not a trader in the country
who imported goods from England, except the
merchant whose first cargo came in the ship
with him, and he was six mouths here before
he saw another topsail.
The produce of all the taxes that could be
devised lbr the public service, fell short of £3OO,
and the only disposable money that remained
in the power of the Governor of the grant of
Parliament was £2OO. Yet with these scanty
moans this Province was brought to export the
year 110 left, to the amount of £38,000. Who
then will sneer at Brunswick, if her exports do
not reach £38,000 in 20 years, when here was
the whole resources of the Province throwing
the products of her rich and vigorous soil into
die very lap of Savannah for 20 years.
But to come down a little farther in the his
tory of our State, with a view to prove what I :
designed to do in the outset, that the whole!
Spanish fleet crossed Brunswick Bar, passed
up Brunswick Bay, and anchored in Brunswick, I
now Oglethorpe Harbor with perfect ease, it
is only necessary to copy the following state
ment from tiie work above alluded to,(Knox’s
Considerations on the British Empire.)
“General Oglethorpe’s attempt to reduce
St. Philips Castle, at St. Augustine, gave the
Spaniards such an alarm that they determined
to dislodge him from Georgia, and accordingly
fitted out a very considerable land and sen force
from the I lavana, to attack him in his newly
built town, and newly constructed fort at
Frederica, which stood upon a branch of the j
river Altamaha, about 8 miles from its entrance j
into the sea, at a sound which he called St.
Simons, formed by the Islands of St- Simons |
and Jekvl.
When the Spanish fleet arrived, they enter
ed the sound with the most perfect ease, and
the Commander of the troops, Don Antonio j
Arrodondo, proposed to the Admiral to proceed :
direct to the town, or as near, as the depth of j
water would permit; the Admiral would not |
trust his Majesty’s ships of war, but sent tip a j
20 gun brig and landed 1,000 troops on the '
Island at a place where Oglethorpe had con-1
structcd something of a look out post- The .
Spaniards finding no opposition at their landing,
began their march immediately, but as the
whole Island was covered with massy oaks and
thick under brush, except a fewopen places cal
led Savannahs, and only a narrow passage cut
through by way of a road to the town, they took
no cannon nr baggage with them, and could
only proceed two abreast, which gave Ogle-1
thorpe time to be apprised of tlieir rout, and In* i
despatched Sergeant Southerland, with twenty !
men and -10 Chickasaw warriors, who lie hud
brought to obey command, to ojipo.se their jiro
gress by taking possession of a little Savannah '
which lay about 4 miles from the town, (now !
called bloody marsh.)
But before Southerland’s |>arty arri\ed, the'
Spaniards had already got there, and finding a 1
little pond of fresh water in the middle of it, <
and tiie day being very hot, (in August I be- j
lieve it was,) the whole body sat down upon the
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
grass to breakfast, in which, situation they
were, when the most advanced of Southerland’s
party discovered them, and forming a semi-cir
cle round die pond, and mixing die Indians
with the soldiers, his whole purty opened a
volley on the astonished Spaniards, and die
Indians at the same time raising die war
whoop, and sending in a running fire from tree
to tree, the terror and surprise of the Spaniards
deprived them of even the thought of resis
tance, and their affrighted imaginations repre
sented to diem all the savages of the Continent
surrounding diem, they therefore left their
arms upon the ground, and widiout returning
a single shot, crowded into die narrow path,
and others ran into the thickest parts of die
woods; where diey were hunted out bv the
Indians, some days afterwards nearly famished
with hunger.”
The 20 gun brig was in sight of Frederica
when the troops ran away, and was immediate
ly recalled, and the whole fleet crossed Bruns
wick Bar and put to sea widiout any accident
that is recorded.
Such is the early history of the military op
erations in Glynn County, as recorded by Mr.
Knox, and such, was die important position of
Brunswick Harbor, in a military and naval
point of view, that the Spanish Government
sent “a considerable land and sea force,” at
various times to dislodge General Oglethorpe;
but the skillful and persevering soldier defeat
ed all tlieir plans and vanquished all their ar
mies, with a mere regiment of England’s sons!
Leaving a name co-eternal with onr majestic
oaks and spacious Bay !!
A WHIG OF GI.YNN.
It may be well to mention that on the Isl
ands of Jekvl and St. Simons, not a death has
occurred from fever for several years, and per
sons are now in the enjoyment of healdi, whose
ages range from 76 to 83, and it is a fact not
generally known diat on the Island of Little
St. Simons there is a considerable quantity of
Live Oak Timber that has never been cut and
may be purchased by Government, if a Naval
Depot was established at Brunswick.
1 The intelligence from England is of the j
j most melancholy nature. On the arrival of
the packet in Liverpool conveying the informa
tion of the failure of two Banks in New York
and the general pressure through the country,
die Bank of England refused further aid to the
houses engaged in the American trade. The
consequence was the immediate stoppage of
those houses whose credit had heretofore been
undoubted. Long before this, however, a true
state of American affairs have been received
and confidence restored in our honesty and a
bility.
| Later from Liverpool. The Storm
\ Thickening. The brig Old Colon v, (-'apt.
' Crosby, arrived at Boston on the evening !
I of the 14th inst., bringing Liverpool dales
to the Gth June, and London to the ;>th.
In the Liverpool Mail of the Gth June,
i the merchants of this country are most
unmercifully abused for their withholding!
remittances, and the accusation is stated j
in round terms, that they have wantonly
and purposely sivintUed the merchants and
manufacturers of England, of a sum not
less than seven millions of pounds sterling.
'Fhe same paper also asserts that it is part
and portion of our policy to swindle, and
cheat, and deceive, I What is more, says
the same Journal, the laws of the United
States are made for the purpose of swind
ling Europe!!
The Mail says that “certain Directors!
ot the Bank of England held paper of the ’
American houses which they supported j
until their paper was paid," and that as'
soon as they were free themselves, thev
voted against any additional aid to tliei
concerns which they have previously fa
vored.and propped!!” Noble and dis- 1
interested conduct! Yet these are the!
preachers of commercial morals.

quotations.
The packet ship Europe, of the 10th 1
May, sailed from this city on the 10th.,
carrying out large remittances from the 1
swindling American merchants. Should,
she get in before the London packet of'
the 10th, the news of our Bank suspen
sions will not create such alarm, as they i
will at once see in this movement the re
lease ot specie from this country. The!
Liverpool Mail of the Gth reports’ off, an
American ship, with a black ball, at ;>
o clock, P. M., on the sth. This is prob
ably the Europe.
Interesting and authentic from
Florida. The steam packet Florida,
Capt. Heiihard, arrived here yesterday
from Black Creek.
We regret to learn from a Correspon
dent, who is well informed, that there is
no reliance to be placed upon the Indians;
that they have no intention of emigrating.
It is believed that the Micasukevs” Taila
hassees, l allopoes and Indian negroes,
must be exterminated before the Semin-'
oles proper can be removed. 'The pacific
disposition manifested by the Indians who !
have come to the frontier, arises it is said,
from the perfect preparation which they |
everywhere observe, not only to repel then
attacks, if made, but to chastise them
should they manifest a hostile disposition.!
Gen. Jesep, it is thought, will forbid
all trading with the Indians under any
circumstances whatsoever. Until an un
conditional surrender take place, and:
their arms are delivered up, not a single'
ration will probably be furnished, or any j
trading allowed. Their Chiefs, it is said,
have no influence except for purposes of
mischief, and it would L'e, it is said, ths
extreme of folly to trust them again.
Gen. Jesep, we learn, is the only officer
of the Regular Army, who is not sanguine
ot the result ot our Indian difficulties. He
has always, it is said, objected to a pacific
course, and in following the course lie
has adopted since the 4th of February
last, has only yielded to the opinions of
of 99-1 OOths of the Army.
Our Correspondent remarks—
“lie lias been the most untiring Gen
eral in the field, and I sincerely hope will
be allowed to end what he has so well
begun. It is reported-that be is to be re
lieved from the command. This I cannot
believe.
“Gen. J. possesses much valuable infor
mation of the country, its resources, and
that of the Setninoles. The same infor
mation any other Commander will require
six months to gather.”
We coincide in opinion with our Cor
respondent that Gen. Jesup should lie per
mitted to terminate the war. It must be,
in a great measure, a war of extermina
tion, and as, from all we can learn, Gen.
J. is ol the same opinion, he is a fit Gen
eral to push them to extremities.
Another General might adopt a course
of conciliation, which would only retard
the hour ot retribution, and expend more
blood and treasure.
We cannot believe that the Honorable
Secretary contemplates any change.—

such a facility is needed, at least by the Press,
is disposed to connect with it a General Agen

Dents, in t'us and the neighboring Southern
States, and will travel almost continually to
present them himself. Should the-business of
fered he sufficient, the agency will be made a
permanent one—and while his long connexion
with the Press and consequent knowledge of
its peculiar requisitions and benefits from such
an Agency, and his extensive personal acquain

HA VINO received a number of communi
cations trom individuals, making enquir
ies respecting my Brick Machine, invested by
Calvin Waterman, and novt in successful ope
ration in this jilace, 1 take ibis method of an
swering them —l invite all who feel disposed
to purchase rights, to come and see the opera
tion of the machine, and if there bo any one
who says he is disajipointed in his expectations,
1 bind myself to pay the expenses of his trip.—
1 do not expect to sell a right to any one with
out their first having seen the machine.; but in
order to afford an idea of its value, I annex tire
following certificates, one of them signed by
two of the most experienced brick masons in
the Southern States. In my absence from
Macon, the editors of the Messenger will act
as my authorized agents.
T. L. SMITH.
We having witnessed the performance of Mr
T. L. Smith's new Brick Machine, invented by
Citlviii Waterman, now in operation in this
place, take pleasure in recommending it to the
public. The fact of its performance is its best
recommendation. We timed it, and find that
with new moulds and inexperienced hands, it
made at the rate of two thousand thveq hund
red and sixty-eight brick per hour. By
ing ten hours in a day, it would therefore tore
out twenty-three thousand six hundred yor d*'y
It requires six boys to bear off, and four tffg&nd
the moulds, Ac.—together with four grown
men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make the above named quaotrty of the most
beautiful brick per day. , WMk

1 have witnessed the performance of Mr T.
L Smith s new Brick-tnfcking Machine, just
put into operation in thm place *, and hav e no
hesitation in pronouncing it a great and useful
ftnprovcment on any other method of brick
making I have ever seen, both as to the quality
of the brick and expedition in making. By re
quest I timed the machine for half an hour}
the result of that trial shows that w r ifh 14 hands
the machine will turn out of beautiful and%’ell
tempefed brick, 2,368 in one hour, or about 40
to the minute. JNO. RUTHERFORD.
