THE HEADSTONE.
The coffin was let down to the
bottom of the grave; the flanks
were removed from the heaped-up
brink ; the first rattling; clods had
et’fick their knell; the quick sho-
T.-llmg was over, and the long,
broad, skilfully cut pieces of turf
Wore aptly jointed together, and
ts mly laid by the beating spade, so
that the newest mound in the
church-yard was scarcely , distin
guished from those that were grow n
over hy the undisturbed grass and
daisies of a luxuriant spring.—The
burial was soon over —and the par
ty, with one consenting motion,
having uncovered their heads in
decent reverence of the place and
occasion, were beginning to sepe
rate, and about to leave the church
yard. Here some acquaintances,
from distant parts of the pai ish. who
had not had an opportunity of ad
dressing each other in the house
that belonged to the deceased, nor
in the course of the few hundred
yards that the little procession had
to move over from his bed to his
grave, were shaking hands quietly
but cheerfully, and inquiring after
the welfare oVearh other’s families.
There, a small knot of neighbours
were speaking, without exaggera
tion, of the respectable character
which the deceased had borne, and
mentioned to one another little inci
dents of his life, some of them so
femole as to he known only to the
g ey-headed persons of the groupe.
While a few yards further removed
fnun the spot, were standing to
gether, parties who discussed ordi
nary concerns, altogether, uncon
nected with the funeral, such as the
state of markets, the promise of the
season, or change of tenants ; but
still with a sobriety of manner and
Voice, that was i .sensibly produced
by the influence of the simple cere
Aony now closed, by the quiet
graves arc urn 1 , and the shadows of
the spire aud grey walls of the
feoule of God*
! Two me# yet stood together at
the head of he grave, with coun
tenances of*mcere but impassioned
grief. They were brothers, the
only sons of him who had been bu
tied; and there was something in 1
tbeir situation that naturally kept:
the eyes of many directed upon
them, for a longer time, and more
intently, than would have been the
case, had there been nothing more
observable about them, than the
common symptoms of common sor
row. But these two Brothers who
were now standing at the head of
their father’s grave had for some |
years been totally estranged from
each other; and the only words:
that had passed between them dur-!
ing all that time, had been uttered 1
within a few days past, during the I
necessary preparation of the old
man's funeral.
, No deep and deadly quarrel was,
‘ between these Brothers, and nei j
- ther of them could distinctly tell the
cause of this unnatural estrangement.
■) Perhaps dim jealousies of tbeir i
| father’s favour—selliwh thoughts
[ i that will sometimes force themselves j
-jinto poor men’s hearts, respecting!
temporal cxpectatiuns-unaccommo-1
J daliog manners on both sides—taunt-.
i : mg w ords that mean little when ut
r tered, hut will rankle and fester |
to remembrance —imagined opp >si
, (ion of interests, that duly consider
ed, would have been found one and
! the same—these, and many Other
causes, slight when single, hut
strong when risen up together la
one baneful band, had gradually bot
but fatally infected their hearts, till
at last, they who in youth had been
seldom separate, and truly attached
now met at market, and, miserable
to say, at church, with dark and
averted faces, like different clans
men during a feud.
Surely, if any thing could have
softened their hearts towards each
other, it must have been to staod
silently side hy side, while the earth,
stones, and clods, were falling down
upon their lathei's coffin. And
doubtless their hearts were so sof
tened. But pride, though it cannot
prevent the holy affections of nn
tore from being felt, may prevent
them from being shown ; and these
two Brothers'stood there together,
determined not to let each other
know the mutual tenderness that, in
spite of them, was gushing up in
their hearts, and teaching them the
unconfessed lolly and wickedness of
their causeless quarrel.
A headstone had been prepared,
and a person came forward to plant
it. The elder Brother directed him
how to place it —a plain stone, with
a sand glass, skull and cross-bones,
chiselled not rudely, and a few
words inscribed The younger
Brother regarded theoperation with
u troubled eye, and said loudly
enough to be heard by several of
the bystanders, “ William, this was
not kind in you -you should have
told me of this. —I loved my father
a# well as you could love him. You
were the elder, and it may he the
favourite sou; hut I hail a light in
nature to have joined you in order
ing this head stone—had 1 not ?”
’ During these words, the stone
’ was sinking in the earth, and many
J persons who were on their way
from the grave, returned. For a
while, the elder Brother said no-'
!, thing, for he had a consciousness in
his heart, that he ought to have con
sulted his father’s son in designing
this last becoming maik of affection
and respect to his memory : so the
stone was planted in silence, and
now stood erect, decently and sim
ply, among the other unostentatious
memorials of the humble dead.
The inscription merely gave the
name and age of the deceased, and
1 told that the stone had been erected
“by his affectionate sons.” The
sight of these words seemed to soft
en the displeasure of the angry man,
, and he said some what more mildly,
“Yes, we were his affectionate
sons, and since my name is on the
. stone, lam s itislied, Brother. We
I have not drawn together kindly of
| late years, and perhaps never may ;
j but I acknowledge and respect your
worth ; and here, before our own
. friends, and before the friends ofj
our father, with my foot above his
head, I express my willingness to he
on better and other terms with you ;
and if we cannot command love in
our hearts, let us, at least. Brother,
bar out all unkindness.”
The minister who had attended
the funeral and had something en
trusted to him to say publicly be
fore he left the church-yard, now
came forward, amt asked the elder
Brother, why he spake not regard
ing this matter. He saw that theie
1 was something of a cold and sullen
' | p"ide rising up in his heart ; for not
: easily may any roan hope to dismiss j
I from ‘he chamber o( his heart even
I the v.'est guest, if once cherished
there-—With a solemn and almost
t severe air, lie looked upon the re-
I lenting man, and then changing his
s countenance into serenity, said gent-
Behold, bow pod • thing it u, \
And how (learning weU,
Together such is hretheru are, '
In unity to drell!
The time, t'ae place, and this ]
beautiful expression of a natural ;
sentiment quiteovercome a heart in j
which many kind if not warm affec- (
tions dwelt; and the man thus ap- (
pealed to, bowed dpwn his head and (
wept. “ Gi»e me your hand, s
Brother”— and it was given, while \
a murmur of satnfaction arose from
all present, and ill hearts felt kind- t
lier and more jutuanely towards $
each other. t 1
As the Brothels stood fervently, i
but composedly grasping each o i
tber's hands in til* little hollow that <
lay between the jrave of their mo- I
ther, long since lead, and of their i
I father, whose ihroud was haply I
not still from the dust to dost, the (
I minister stood btside them with a |
j pleasant countenance, and said,* 1 i i

the dust of your mother, depart not
from my huriil, till, in the name of
God and Ciirht, you promise to love
one another as you used to do.
Dear hoys receive my blessing.”
Some turned their heads away to
hide the tears that needed not to be
hidden ; and when the brothers had
released each other from a long and
sobbing milliner, many went up to
them, and in n single word or two,
expressed their py at this perfect
reconcilement. I he Brothers them
selves walk'd away from the
church yard, arm in arm with the
minister, to the manse. On (he
following Sabbath, they were seen
sitting with theii families in the
same pew, and it w as observed, that
they read together off the same Bi
ble, when the minister gave out the
text, and that they sang together, ta
king hold of the same psalm-book. —
The same psalm was sung.(given out
at their own request,)of which one
verso had been repeated at their fa
ther’s grave. A larger sum than
usual was on that Sabbath found in
the plate for the poor , for Love
and Charity are sisters. And ever
after, both during the peace and the
troubles of this life, the hearts of
the Brothers wero as one, and in
nothing were they divided.

FROM THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER.
The Greeks,
Wc have been favored with the follow
ing cstrai t of a letter from an ollV’cr on
board the Constitute r. It presents a ful
ler account of the condition of the Greek*,
their army, navy, ( ecu a y lesources,
possessions, ,kc. than any we recollect
to have seen ; and it may be relied on as
authentic, since the writer’s situation en
abled him to ho thoroughly informed of
the facts which he desi rihes:
U. S. SHIP CONSTITUTION,
GIBRALTAR BAV, AUG. 1, 182?.
“ 1 wrote you in May from Leg
horn ; since which lime we have
heen to Naples, Messina, up the
Archipelago as far as Smyrna, &.c.—
When at Naples, 1 visited all the
places worthy of note, and was much
pleased ; but had 1 been a classical
scholar,! think it would have been
difficult to have torn me away from
Virgil’s tomb, Bain, I’ompeii, &«;.
I shall not attempt to give yon a
description of these places because
! 1 know 1 should fail, but will refer
you to Lady Morgan's Italy ; a
work, which so fir as my observa
tions have gone, is more correct
than any I have read. Eustace is
more minute and probably to the
antiquarian more interesting ; hut,
as 1 have no pretensions that way,
I was much moie pleased with Lady
Morgan’s descriptions than his.
Mount Vesuvius was very quiet,
whilst we were at Naples ; but we
had a fine viow ofStromboli on our
passage to Messina, whose volcano
was very active. We were becalm
ed and remained near it several
nights, and could distinctly see the
lava running down the mountains,
we remained only a few days at
! Messina, and of course had not time
to make excurtions into the coun
try or to vim; Mount JEtn.i, it threw
out no flames, and the country
around it appeared, at the distance
we were irom it, to be fertile and
well cultivated.
“ We sailed from Messina on the
Hth of J une, entered the Archipel
ago on the 15th, and on Sunday, the
16th, being off the Island ofCandia,
(Crete,) heard a very heavy firing
for several hours. The next day
we were informed, that the 1 urkish
squadron from Alexandria, joined
with the squadrons from Tripoli,
Tunis, and Algiers, had made an at
tack on the Greeks, (who were be
sieging a castle held in that Island
by the Turks,) for the purpose of
raising thesiege ; that they had been
repulsed ; And those who had land
ed compelled to re-embark. We
heard, as we passed there on our
return July 4th, that another attack
had been made with the same suc
cess, and that the Greek squadron
from the Island of Idera (Hydra)
was washing their motions. We
should have touched there, but
heard of their having the plague.
On the 19th of June, after slopping
at Milo (Melos) to get a pilot, being
of the Island ofScio (Chio.) and in
the passage between that island and
the main land ; at 2 o’clock in the
morning saw a great light and in half
an hour afterwards witnessed an ex
plosion of great magnitude. The
next day we were informed by ao
Austrian vessel, that the Greeks
had sent in tw< nre ships, and that
one of them had succeeded in blow
ing up the captain Pacha’s ship of
74 guns, and that the other would
have blown up the ship of the se
cond in command, bad lie not have
cut Ins cables and put to sea- The
w hole squadron followed his exam
pie and were thrown into the great
est confusion. The Greeks who
had leftlhe fine ships in their small
boats, taking advantage of this con
fusion, boarded and carried off one
of their brigs of war, and we after
wards saw her in the island of Ip
serva, a prize. In a short time
this report was confirmed by the
dead bodies and parts of the ship
floating past us ; out of a crew con
sisting of two thousand souls, all
perished with the exception of three
hundred. An American vessel from
Boston, that happened to be near,
picked up the Admiral’s first Lieu
tenant and cne seaman, who had
got on a spur, and put them on
board the second in command, who
had just h listed his flag as admiral.
“ It was thought at Smyrna that
all the captains on their returfi to
Constantinople would lose their
heads for suffering the admiral to be
blown up. We were near the
Turkish squadron for two days ; but
they appeared to have no wish to
speak to us, (probably the idea oj
fire i ships still hunted their imagi
nations) and, as we had nothing to do
with them, we passed up to Smyrna
without having any communication.
It consisted of 5 ships ofthe line, six
frigates, six corvettes or sloops ol
war, and twenty-two smaller ves
sels ; and yet strange to tell ! they
suffer Hie Greeks to cruise within a
few miles of them, and very often
to molest and harass them greatly
The Greeks have three naval de
pots ; viz. Ipserva or Fsyra, Idera
or Hydra, and Specia or Tipareni
us islands that produce very little ;
and they are compelled to get sup
plies from the Morea.—They have
at each of those islands about 30
armed vessels ; the largest only 1(5
guns, and Hie most of them mounting
only one or two. They have no
fortifications of any consequence,
and yet the Turks never think of
attacking them ; blit on the contra
ry. suffer themselves to be blockad
ed frequently, and never stir out ol
port without having the Greeks at
their heels.
“ We anchored of Smyrna on the
22d, and left there the 25th : we
went on shore only once, and then
in that part of the town occupied
by the Greeks and Turks : it was
not considered safe to go into Turk
town, as they were very much ex
cited at the loss of the Capatan Pa
cha, and nothing prevented their
massacreing the Greeks, but the
presence of the French, Dutch,
English, and Austrian squadrons.—
They were not much pleased at
our going into their port, and I be
lieve, did not like our being so near
the admiral's ship when she blew
up. That part of Smyrna that we
saw was confined, dirty, and every
thing about it disgusting. It is de
fended by a Small fort, that our ship
could have hammered down in 15
minutes. The day we got out of
the gulf of Smyrna (261 h) we saw
the Turkish fleet close in with the
south end of Mytilene (Lesbos,) —
and the Greek squadron from Ip
serva, it was said, was on the north
side watching their movements.
“ We stopped at the islands of
Ipserva, Idera, and Milo, and got
the most correct accounts from the
Morea. Athens was taken by the
Greeks about the 14th of June,and
the whole of the Morea was in pos
session of the Greeks with the ex
ception of Napoli di Romania,
which was expected to fall every
day when we left there (Ist. July)
and perhaps a small fort on the lo
nian Sea, Motion, I believe. — Ibe I
Congress was sitting at Argos ; and
the arrangements made by them for i
carrying on the war, were judici
ous ; but that great sinew of war
was wanting (money,) and their o
perations of course must be limited.
They are in want of*arms and am
munition, and I fear, if it be true as
is reported, that Russia will not go
to war with the Porte, their dreams
of liberty will be short-lived and
I illusive. What a pity that the
' Christian nations will not unite and
restore to them their liberty and
country !
“ We declined going to Athens in
consequence of the report, that
. symptoms of the plague had made
its appearance. We were all very
i much disappointed, and a majority
I would gladly have risked catching
: the plague, to have had a view of
t the plains of Marathon. We had a
. distant view of the promontory of
; Sonium where Plato discoursed to
; his disciples ; and the remains ol
i the temple of Minerva. The same
1 reasons deprived us of the pleasure
;of seeing Alexandria; and our
f cruise, from which we expected to
• have derived great satisfaction and
j improvement, has turned out rather
i barren.
s “We stopped a few days at Malta
I to get provisions and water, but can
• give you no description of the place
f or its inhabitants, as we were in
I quareutine, and of course could not
• go on shore.
s “ 1 have been induced to give you
s a true account of the situation of
the Greeks, well knowing that the
- statements in the newspapers are
) very often erroneous. I forgot to
1 mention in its proper place, that the
- Greeks who are properly armed in
i the Moiea, amount to sixty thou
• sand ; but the number of men, that
- compose the army, is considerably
e more. They have one or two
e manufactories of powder in the Mo
|> rea, under the auperintendance of
- Frenchmen ; but the quantity as
I yet made, will nothing like meet
e the demand.-—ln Candia, they have
n about six thousand very good sol
’ diers under (he command of a na
■ tive general (whose name I forgot)
of areal talents, and who served as
II afield officer several years in the
l} Russian array. We landed in
Greece opposite to the island of
• Idderva, merely to say that-we fad
n been there. There was no town,
r and we had but a few omer.ts to
e sta/, as the ship was under nay.
e We stopped for afevv hours at M i
1 laga on our way down, hut they
would not admit us to pralique. We
• arrived here about two hours ago,
• and are quarantined j ofcourse have
0 no news from the shore ;1 am glad

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1323
For hr ankle and Advertiser.
In the course of a few days, I hope
to present (he public with a full ex
hibition of the conduct of Mr. George
M’Duflie; but I am induced on one
topic, to anticipate my intended pub
lication, in consequence of a news
paper calumny which is uttered with
an impudence calculated to deceive
those who are not acquainted with
the author. Mr. M’Duffie stated in
, his Greeneville handbill, that on the
Bth of June I braced my nerves with
artificial stimulants. This charge
by a man whose tees were scarcely
safe from his own pistol, excited no
thing but ridicule, as the stimulation
referred to was supposed Xo be an
external use of Cologne water. But
he attaches to his bill in its recent
republication, the following query—
“ Will Col.Cumming have the ef
frontery to deny that he stimulated
internally by the liberal use of opium,
in addition to the strong liquid in
which he washed his face the mo
ment before he took his stand?” If
any thing from such a fellow could
surprise me it would be this. Ex
cept in severe sickness about ten
years ago I never took a particle of
opium in my life.—Neither on the
Bth of June, nor for six months pre
viously, that I can recollect, did 1
take one drop of laudanum or any
other preparation of the drug.
Here then is a subject definite and
tangible. My antagonist accuses me
of having used opium on a particular
occasion. I tell him flatly that it i* a
. base falsehood, and it is proven te
be such by unquestionable testimony,
so far as a negative proposition can
be established. Let him now pro
duce the evidence of what he has as
serted, or submit to the reprobation
of every honest, in addition to tlie
contempt of every honorable man.
WM. GUMMING*
On the night of the 7th of June, I
slept in the same apartment with Co:
Gumming—we rose at the same hoir
next morning, and I was with hi®
almost every moment of the time tha.
intervened between our rising aim
the combat with Mr. McDuffie. -
am certain, so Tar as I can be of a
negative, that he did not on that oc
casion take any stimulant stronger
than common coffee. On the ground
he washed his hands with C ologne
water, (as he had long before deter;
mined) to render them pliable,
also at the same time rubbed a smal.
quantity on his face, as I believe i
frequently done by those who use
that article, on account of its agreea
ble odour. Before Mr. M‘Duflie
own repqrt, I never even heard o
Col. Gumming using opium at any
time or in any form. I have known
him from my infancy, and of late our
association has been so intimate, t.ia'
I think it impossible he should ha't
used that drug without my know -
edge. He takes a small quantity 0
tobacco, but I never saw in his p OS "
session a single particle ot opium
or any preparation of it. I shall no
insult him by speaking of his hr lll
