I WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 1823.
I '\\’e have heard from various source
■ shat religious subjects have recently at
■ ted more than common attention
H ftino ng3t a large portion of the citizensjof
H Charleston, and that under the awaken
■ influences of the divine spirit, num-
H i.ers who bad heretofore been careless
H ? ' ad indilfereht as to their eternal con-
I terns, were anxiously enquiring “what
■ , bey should do to be saved.” We were
|H a jgy 0 r two past favored with the peru
■ , al 0 f a letter from an excellent and pious
I iodiv; lual in that place, to a friend here,
■ fl . om which we were permitted to take
H an ex tract or two, which we publish in
H {he belief, that they will be acceptable to
I til at portion of our readers, who duly ap-
H j, reriate the importance of such subjects.
I After a few friendly remarks, and some
■ interesting observations upon the write ids
I feelings and experience, the letter pro-
I ceeds, “ But 1 must leave this subject to
I tell you what the Lord is doing for this
I people,—my dear friend, your heart
I WO uld burn within j'ou could you hear
■ same of the dear children of God plead-
I jn>r witli a«d for sinners around them ;
I could you see the dejected penitent ask-
I ing the way to Zion, and hear the rejoi-
I rings of (hose eti whom the Lord has be
■ stowed his mercy. Let me tell you, my
I friend, we have known little of spiritual
I life in Augusta —believe not that I say
I this in a condemning spirit,--O no, my
I name stands first and foremost on the list
I of unfaithful ones,” &c.
I The letter then proceeds with some
I interesting and impressive reflections,
I and thus continues, “My dear friend,
I let us awake opt of sleep ;it is time to
come to the help of the Lord ; He waits
to be gracious ; Jesus ever liveth to make
intercession; the Holy Spirit is ready to
descend, and shill we not ask lor the
blessing r shall we idly hold our hands
and say, at a more convenient season,
Lord,'wo will receive thee? O, my
friend, 1 would stir up the gift that is
in thee ; I would intreat you by the dying
love of our Redeemer, to be faithful in
duty, fervent in spirit, ever abounding
in the Work of the Lord, believing that
voi'.r labor will not be in vain. O tint
I could by one sudden wish place you in
some of the enlivening circles, where
those that fear the Lord speak often one
to another. I have not yet made one
visit which has not been closed with
prayer—their whole souls seem engaged,
their only theme how they can best pro
mote the glorious work which seems evi
dently increasing—and they make a bu
siness of it too—look at their engagements
for prayer. Tuesday and Friday after
noons Doctor Palmer and Mr. Boict’s
churches wait in prayer for the influen
ces of the.Spirlt; Wednesday is observed
by all who can do it as a day of fasting
and prayer, for the same objects ex
tended to all the state. Saturday morn
ing special prayer for their ministers —
indeed I can hardly mention an hour in
the week that is not thus devoted.—
There are many missionaries at present
in the city, and amongst others the Rev.
Mr. Linsly—he reached Charleston just
in season to be engaged in the good
work; he was employed by the Female
Missionary Society; he is doing great
good amongst this people, and they seem
disposed to say to him, abide with us
and we will do thee good,
“ I have not yet learned the extent of
this revival; it is not confined to one
portion of the city. My dear fricntL let
us pray for dear Augusta;
what associations for prayer mayaWT
prayer mutt precede a revival of reli
gion, and the children of God must
awake, before sinners will be alarmed.”
These extracts evidence what uniform
experience will prove, that those breath
ing what may be called a spiritual at
mosphere, cannot but experience feelings
of solicitude and benevolence for thci r
fellow immortals.

citizens having, without much
discussion, leu the subjec t of the propo
posed Water Works to the City Council. 1
after resolving that it was expedient to !
attempt a supply of water from some
source m the neighborhood of the city it'
Will no doubt require much consideration I
and accurate examination by Council i
to enable them to determine whether!
under all circumstances, it would le i
prudent to enter into any contracts on |
the subject, till well convinced, that they
are m no respect deceived as to the
practicability of the proposed plan or
the expense of executing it. Perhaps it
might not be amiss, if a contract is made
at all, to make it in such a manner that
the city shall only be pledged to make
the payments in the event of the experi
ment proving successful. This could
not be objected to by undertakers, if
they are confident their plan will suc
ceed, and if they are not confident of i
this, the expense may probably be too 1
much for the city to hazard upon uncer
tainty.
1 have seen an estimate of the expen-c
of bringing the water into this place from ‘
PurkneU’s Spring, which amounted to 1
forty thousand dollars ; possibly this may i
be too large, but experience will prove 1 ■
probably, that in any plan which may be (
adopted, the estimates are much below
what Would be required to secure the
object contemplated.
It must be recollected that besides the :
main pipe, running perhaps thro 1 Broad ,
street, there must be parallel pipes in all
the streets running east and west, and
cross pipes to pass through all the other
streets—otherwise the supply will be by 1
no means adequate to the wants of the
city ; and the expense of those pipes will
probably exceed that embraced in the ,
estimates hitherto made. And it may
still perhaps be a question, whether tne
Turkuett Spring will afford water sulfi
cient for a supply for all these pipes,
both for ordinary and extraordinary oc
casion?. It was mentioned by Dr. Green,
ofColumbia, S. C. that it cost him ninety
dollars to bring (he water to Ins house
and yard/ro/r the main pipe supplied by
Col. Blaudi-ig’s works, and that he paid,
1 think, sixty dollars a year, for the pri
vilege of this supply. These tilings are
only men ioned as subjects worthy the
notice of Council before any definite
steps are taken in the important subject
to whi h these remarks relate. C,
To the Editor of the Chronicle.
I am told that a gentleman in this place
has remarked, that lie would undertake,
at his own expense, to bore or sink a well
at the foot of the Sand Hills, till he
reached a vein of water wlib h should be ■
sufficient to supply the city with that
necessary article; and that the supply
could then be furnished through pipes
at a vast saving of expense; and that if
(lie experiment was nut successful , no
payment would be required for making
it.—lt being understood, 1 presume, that
if a suflkiency of water wax obtained,
this individual would have a preference,
in supplying, if he would do it on as good
terms as any other person, Hie city from
that source. Whether this is so nr not, a
lit l le trouble would probably satisfy the
public as well as an

COMMUNICATION.
Understanding that Mr. Judah, lately
from Mobile, proposes by a variety of
recitations, to present an entertainment,
at once novel, liumoroils and sentimental,
I lako the liberty, through your paper,
to remark, that in several places his per
formances have been spoken of in terms
of high commendation, and that in “ Pcr
ry’s Victory on Lake Erie,” written by
him, he has given a pleasing .evidence of
his taste and talents as a poet. His re
citations in Milledgeville are staled to
have given much satisfaction to those
who heard them, and it is presumed Ilia'
an entertainment combining improve
ment with rational amusement, will not
be unacceptable to a portion of the citi
zen? of this place.
FItOMSILUMAPi’s JOURNAL.
Philadelphia Water Works.
This fine city is now abundantly
supplied with good water, from the
Schuylkill, and a magnificent estab
lishment for that purpose is complet
ed at Fair Mount, five miles above
the city at the falls of the Schuylkill.
The entire expense, including the
purchase of the site, is ,$426,330, but
the n»oney appears to have been well
bestowed, as the success of the expe
-1 riment is complete. The river at the
falls is about nine hundred feet wide;
the depth at high water is thirty feet;
■ Jts average rise and fall is six feet,
I it is liable to sudden and violent
freshets. “ The whole length of the
overfall is one thousand two hundred
and four feet, and the whole extent of
(he dam including the western pier,
about one thousand six hundred feet,”
backing the water up the river about
six miles.
i The water power created, is cal
. culated to be equal to raise into the
reservoir by eight wheels and pumps,
upwards of ten millions of gallons
per diem. The river, in the dry
season, will afford four hundred and
forty millions every twenty-four
, hours; and as it is calculated, that
forty gallons npw the wheel will
raise one into the reservoir—eleven
million of gallons may be raised each
day.
Many interesting particulars, detail
ed in the last report of the watering
committee, which is illustrated by a
large copperplate sheet, exhibiting a
I plan and perspective, we must omit
—and proceed to state, that the ma
chinery in actual operation, is able to
raise upwards of four millions of gal
lons in twenty-four hours into the
reservoir, which is of such an eleva
tion ns to afford the hydrostatic pres
sure of ninety-two feet, throwing up
on the pumps a pressure of seven
thousand rrhie hundred pounds.—
There are two reservoirs, one of
, which is one hundred and thirty-nine
feet by three hundred and sixteen,
and twelve feet deep, having the
, capacity of three millions of gallons:
j connected with another reservoir
which contains four millions of gal
lons. The water being raised into
j these, one hundred and two feet
above low tide, and fifty-six above
the highest ground in the city; is
thence conveyed in the iron pipes
described in our last number, (page
173) the whole extent of which is
now thirty-five thousand two hundred
and five feet, “ and in no instance has
a leak been discovered.” The great
er part of the pipes now laid are of
American manufacture, none ever
having been imported except as sam
ples.
The system obviously admits of
indefinite extensions. The commit
tee justly remark, that “ the uses and
importance of this water, it is impos
sible sufficiently to value. The ad
ditional cleanliness of the city, (which
with the suburbs contains between
120,000 and 130,000 people) the
Supply of the neighbouring districts
culinary purposes, as well as for pur
poses of refreshment—the great ad
vantage in case of fire—the ornament
of fountains in the public squares so
wisely provided by our great founder
—the benefit to manufactures, and
the establishment of water power in
the city for various purposes, may be
named among the advantages of this
new work ; but above all we are to
place its effect upon the health of a
great and growing community, which
of itself would justify a much greater,
expenditure.”
THE WAR AGAINST SPAIN.
We have conversed with a very
intelligent gentlemen, says the editor
of the National Gazette, who recent
ly travelled from Madrid to Paris
and visited St. Sebastian—on ihe ge
neral condition of affairs in Spain, to
which his attention has been direct
ed. He mentions that, south of Ebro,
the population appear to be almost
universally Constitutionalists. The
few and snail bands of insurgents in
that quarter, consists chiefly of com
mon marauders, rather than of politi
cal malcontents. North of the Ebro,
—in the provinces of Biscay, Navar
re, and Catalonia, the army of the
Faith has been recruited by means of
French gold, which the lower classes
of inhabitants were too poor and
wretched to resist. Circumstances
had particularly impoverished and
desolated those provinces ; and their
proximity to the French territory,
laid them open to the bribes and in
trigues of the French government and
the Spanish refugees. But the influ
ence of the priesthood had not been
much exercised upon them, nor was
it in any degree as powerful as it had
been, in any part of Spain. Much
less is to be apprehended for the con
stitutional cause from this source,
than from the want of money and the
materiel of war.
The garrison of St. Sebastian was
composed of about 2,100 men, and
commanded by O’Donnel, a brother
of the able general of the same name.
The utmost reliance is placed upon
his firmness and the bravery of his
troops, but St. Sebastian being a for
tress only of the second order, and
not in perfect repair, may be taken
by the French engineers. General
Mina, had under him about twenty
thousand regular troops, and ten or
eleven thousand tried militia, all ani
mated by the best spirit.—General
Morillo had invested nearly Ids whole
fortune in the funds of the Constitu
tional government, as a pledge of his
sincerity ; and further to obtain con
fidence, had chosen as his second in
command, Ballesteros , whose zeal
and fidelity were never doubted.
The Count d’Abisbal (O’Donnel,)
General <4uiroga and others, conspi
cuous for their patriotic ardor and
military talents, were indefatigably
active, and resolved as to obstinate
resistance. All the members of the
? Cories, who amount to upwards of
, one hundred and fifty, and hold the
must respectable personal characters,
professed the same opinions and feel
ings. None of them considered the
. occupation of Madrid by the French
as at all likely to prove decisive of
the contest. They calculated that
the British would not suffer the
French to carry on any extensive
maritime operations against them.
These they particularly dreaded, as
affecting the security of the south of
Spain. They did not expect to be
obliged to leave Seville; but if so,
the retreat to Cadiz would be easy,
and the asylum impregnable. Our
informant inferred from what he
saw in the French provinces, and in
Paris, that the war and the Bourbons
were very unpopular, to use the soft
est term.
In mentioning yesterday, says the
same paper,the circumstance that Ge
neral Murillo had spontaneously ap
pointed General Ballesteros his se
cond in command, we omitted, acci
dentally, the phrase—at the present
epoch of the Ml) July last, when die
I royal guard* attacked Midrick Bad
le&eros now holds a separate com-(
mand. The arrangement of the!
Spanish forces is as follows:—1st!
corps—that of Mina in Catalonia,
called the army of Operation. 2d .
corps—that of Ballesteros, in Ara-j
gon, called also an army of Opera - (
tioji, 3d corps—that of Count del \
Abtsbal , in Caslille, called an army (
ol Reserve. 4th corps—that of Mo- ]
ril/o, in Gallic!,i, the same. ,
These several corps comprise, to
gether, about seventy thousand men;
as many as the French troops who
were to enter Spain—but though
they consisted chiefly of regulars and
good militia, their number of raw re
cruits was larger in proportion than
that in the French ai my. I
RACING POPULARITY.
When about departing for the race
course on Tuesday last, Mr. Ran
dolph suggested to some gentlemen,
I that it would be a good time to elect
(a President of the United States, as
j there would he an assembly of 50 or
i 60,000 people from the different parts
|of the Union, and probably every
state would be represented. On his
return, however, to the city, he re
marked that he was glad his propo
sition had not been acceeded to, as
he had no doubt that if the election
had taken place, Purdy tnould have
been chosen over any other man in
the Union! —[N. Y. Com. Adv.

The duty incumbent on them becomes
a pleasure a bile they have the satnfac

which had previously occupied the at

any studied eulogy, we venture to say,
there arc low s hool.< that can, in every
respect, come in competition with that
now under unr respectful consideration.
Tile examinations upon Orthography,
the Accidence and Syntax of English
Grammar, Geography, American and
Ancient History, Rh..toric, Logic, Moral
Philosophy, fcc. were suntan -rl with a
promptness and pieci ion, which enti
tle them to (lie honor of being th • reens
sieuls of merited praise. A just regard
to emphasis and cadence was preserved
throughout the whole performance.— •
The very intelligible elegant, and audi

It is deserving of admiration, that those
studies, many of which require a main,
rily of judgment to comprehend, should
, he so successfully cultivated by young
ladies of such tender years.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed
upon Miss Andrews for her unremitted
exertions and devotedneso to her pupils,
as well as for the very judicious selec
