Milledgevillk, Sept. 25* ,1 THE PENITENTIARY. \ This humane institution of our state, I is now in the ** full tide of successful I experiment!” Most ofthe convicts are profitably employed in the manufacture of shoes and cigars, which are-sold at a very reduced price. Negroes shoes, of good quality, can be had at a dollar—the convicts, one of whom is an excellent workman, will make on an average, near ly two pair a day each. Other branches I of manufacture will probably be com-j menced, as soon as the necessary ar rangements can be effected. The con victs have a neat, heathful appearance; : and the institution, which is yet in its infancy, we trust will equal the hopes of its friends, and answer public expecta tion. To satisfy the frequent enquiries that, are made by persans at a distance, res pecting the number of convicts, their pe riods of imprisonment, and the offences for which they are confined, we have pro cured, from the Superintcndant of the penitentiary, the following statement for publication.

We haave just time to state, that we have conversed with a gentlemen direct from Amelia, who informs us that the Patriots completely defeated the Span iards on the ijth inst and compelled them to retreat nine miles. Several offi cers belonging to the Spaniards were kitted. On the part of the Patriots, no loss was sustained whatever. Colonel Irwin was daily receiving reinforcements, ami it is confidently thought that he will be able to hold possession of the town ol A--' w Fernanda. 1 lie Spanish force amounts (o five hundred men negroes, Spaniards and renegadu Americans.

IMPORTANT. W c have seen a letter from a gentle man at Gibaraltar, date June 12, stating, that he had conversed with an officer belonging to the United States’ship Pea cock, just arrived at the place of Al giers ami Tunis. From the latter place they had bro’t our Consul, Mr. Anderson, who was induced to leave there, owing to his having been treated in a manner that would not just ify lus remaining longer as the repre sentative of the United States. The Hey, for some time previous to his de parture, would not permit him to come i n his presence, in cttnsequcnce of his re fusing to kiss his hignes's hand. He has also detained there an Atner-| ican citizen, for demanding payment for property sold his Highness, to the am ount of several thousand dollars. The Peacock left them getting their ; fortification in-order,-and it is the gene ral opinion that there will be a brush with them, soon after her joining the squadron at Merseiltes.- She will saili as soon as she can get in a supply-of pro visions and water.— Gazette., Norfolk, (Vir.) Sept. 10. Captain Cox informs that the United States sloop of war Peacock, capt. Rod gei’S, arrived nt Gibraltar some time in Juno last, from Algiers, for the purpose lof procuring provisions: as the Plague was known to be raging at Algiers, the Peacock .as compelled to ride Quaran tine, and it so happened, that when she | was permitted to have communication with the shore, there was not an article of salt provisions te be purchased in the whole port of Gibraltar. Immediately, however, at the request of the American Consul, the Governor of that place, gen. Don, supplied captain Rodgers, with whatever he required, out of the public stores, requiring only that the same should be replaced by our Consul as soon as convenient. The Peacock sailed from Gibraltar up the Mediterranean, on the 28fh of June. The conduct of Gen. Don in this in stance, accords with his usual deport ment to our countrymen, which we have frequently heard spoken of in the war-, mest terms of recommendation. AVc have met with an interesting ori- I ginal work, just published, entitled, “Oh- J servations on the Geology ofthe United J States of America; with sonic remarks J on the effect produced on the nature and I fertility of soil, by the decomposition of I the different classes of hocks, &c. By William Maclure. ” The work is ac- I companied with a beautiful Geological I Map; and canrot fail of being highly in teresting to the patriot and the man of I science. j The folowing extracts from the work I refer to tire tract of country, part of | which has been lately exposed to sale by I our government, and will probably be ac -1 ceptable to many of our readers. « That part of this state (Georgia) which I lies upon the declivity ofthe Allegany ] mountains sheltered to the south from I the northerly winds, and open to the j mild temperature of the south and south- J west breezes, ought to be, and indeed I is, one of the most moderate climates of I the United States: in a groat measure I free from the sudden and violent changes Jof heat and cold produced by the free j circulation of those two oposite currents j of air from the north and south bringing I along with them the temperature of the J opposite climates from whence they Jcame, It may likewise be considered (as a climate more congenial to the growth I ol plums from the south of Europe, such las the vine and the olive, than any sit- I nation north of it in the United States.” Ip. 116. I « That part of this district (Missis- I sippi territory) which lies on the decliv- Jity of the hills towards the south, pro- Itected from the north winds, and open j towards the south, will most probably j enjoy an equal and moderate climate; j and, like the part of Georgia in a similar situation, it will be favorable to the pro j duction of the vine and the olive.” p, 118.

HINES, Submits to the Citizens of Georgia and the American people, generally, fho following Prospectus of a New Paper, • to be published in the town of Mil ledgevillc, under the title of The Reflector. WHATEVER is necessary to bo said of a paper that will soon speak for itsell may he comprised in a few words. The editor is in feelingand principle, decidedly a republican, attach ed to our political institutions, and friendly to the late and present adminis trations of flie general government.- These sentiments will stamp the politi cal character of his paper; but he does not think himself infallible, or believe all meu to be ignorant or corrupt, who dif fer from him in opinion. His feelings are tolerant, and his conduct will be li beral. He will duly respect the opini ons of those who entertain sentiments different from his own, and allow them to be heard if their language and manner jrive them a just claim to the courtesy. He will endeavor to avoid party strife and personal altercation, and labor assi duously to soften party aspcrityjto con vince (hat every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle, and to unite, as I sir as possible, the whole American family in devotion to the happiness and glory of the republic. But while our country, Europe and the whole world, except Spanish America, are at peace, and while there are so fc\y subjects upon which public sentiment among ourselves is divided, the political department of the paper must necessari ly bo circumscribed within narrow lim ns. The editor rejoices at this, as it will give ample mom and opportunity to ad vance objects of vital importance to the country, such as river and canal naviga tion, agriculture, and the useful and do mestic arts—for promoting the diffusion ol scientific knowledge—inculcating a taste for elegant literature, and for giv- , ing ardor to virtuous principles ami c«u ilifrnce to religious truths—-an employ ment better suited to the editor’s feel ings, and which his judgment assures him will be more beneficial to his country than any other. The paper slmll contain sketches of the proceedings of the National Geor gia state legislature; Most of the iteviews, Magazines and reports and transaction* of learned bodies in America, will be re gularly examined, and their quintessence radiated from the “Reflector.” Inline, it will be the editor’s object “to hold the mirror up to nature, to shew Virtue her feature,, anil Vice her image,and the very age and body of the Time his form and pressure. CONDITIONS. The “ Reflector” will be published, weekly, in the town of Millcdgeville, with a good type, on paper of super-royal size, and committed to the mad, or de livered to subscribers in town, at three dollars a year, payable in advance. Advertisements that are not improper for every eye, will be inserted on tlio usual terms. Each year will comprise a volume, at the end of which an extra sheet will be puolised containing a title page and a copious table of reference. It is there fore hoped the subscribers will preserve and bind their volumes. The eilitor flat ters himself that tliey will be worth pre serving, and that in future years tliey will be .advantageously consulted as a correct history of passing events, and an a repository ol tnuch agricultural, scien tific ami literary matter of permanent interest and value.
