To the canth<l. Impartial, intelligent and
virtuous, Citizens of my country gene
rally, and to those of my sister
state of Georgia most particularly.
'Been&cient MV.'W Ci
tizens.
AFTER a gieat lapse of time, at an ad
• vanced period of my life, and _ after
sufferings, the most severe, mortifying
and afflicting that ever were endured,
during, a series of nearly forty years, re
sulting, from tiie causes, that will be most
faithfully, correctly, truly, and justly,
detailed to you, and to the world, in the
correspondence, that will be published,
between myself, and my partner William
Starhrough, sen, ami his son, William
Scarbrough, pm. now of Savannah, from
the year 1790 to the year 1819.1 am hope
ful that you will not deem it presumtuous,
malicious or incorrect, that I should cause
the causes, that have produced them, to
appear in print. For although, it may be
deemed presumptuous, for any individual
however eminent, and respectable, he may
iiavi- been, to suppose, that his misfor
tunes. reverses ai d afflictions, are, so do* p
ly interesting, to the community, and to
the world, as to call on him, for their pub
lication. Yet in tenderness, for the more
honorable, and respectable portion, of
human nature, it is but reasonable, to
suppose, and to hope, that they never
cease,to take a lively interest, in what
is right and what is wrong; or in what is
virtuous, or, in what is vicious, as (hey
relate, to the conduct, and deportment of
men, as, on theiu*, most undeniably rests,
the happiness,*the harmony, the order,
iwti ty and security of human affairs. It
ever has been, and 1 presume it forev
cr will, be, a privilege, claimed by the
unfortunate, to complain, when injured.
And, if the privillt ge, was ever claimed,
and indulged in, with justice, and pro
priety, I trust,, that it will, be deemed so,
on the present occasion. To plead, us I
have done, for forty years, for some re
dress, for some compensation, for the
overthrow, derang* inent, and final des
truction, of a concern that was once, the
iiwsi opulent, eminent, distinguished, and
re pecialde, that ever was in South Caro
lina. ' And to fail therm, as I have done,
from fraud, treachery and collision, be
comes. a naltcr, for the candid, full, and
imp..r<iul investigation, cf the just, tin
impartial, the correct; and upright, ofttie
world And to those of that description;
and most particularly, to those ot my sis
ter state of Georgia it is, Unit I most res
pectfully piny leave to make niy appeal,
After the toils of so many years, and a
life all but exhausted, in efforts, to leave
a clmractei, fair, honorable, upright, and
unimpeachcd.it may naturally he consi
dered, as a source, of great solace, and
happiness, to the misfortunalc man, to

animation, and invi sligatinn of eminent
men, the interesting, i-nd leading causes,
that have operated so finally, to a con
cert', one, so eminent, opulent, distin
guished, and respectable. It is the pe
nt, har solace, of the unfortunate surviving
copartner, in the present case, that he
can make these details, of the origin, rise,
progress and final close, of this concern,
to die eminent, citizens of his sis-er state
ol (Georgia, on whom, he is forced, by cir
cumstances the most awful, and imperi

merable citizens, of the greatest eminence,
and distinction, in onrcuuntn. under

THE three tracts of land on the Alttama
ha River, that were advertised for
sale by Mr. James A Youug of the Man
sion House Hotel of this City, on the 23d
of May last, in the Chronicle of this place,
remains unsold in consequence of Ids
sudden, and unexpected death.—The
same three tracts of land are still offered
for sale —And in consequence of the
death of Mr. James A Young, who was my
legally authorised attorney. I have dtriy
appointed and fully empowered Mr. Ro
bert M’Keen and his son Mr William P.
M’Keen of the Mansion House Hotel of
this City, my lawful attorneys, and to
whom I have delegated every requisite
legal power, to sell and to convey away,
the said three tracts of land, or any purls,
or parcels ofthem, in Fee Simple.—Suf
fice it to say, that there will be placed in
the hands of my said attorneys, such evi
dencics of legal ana safe titles to said
lands, as will defy the world o deny, or
to disprove the same. These evidencies
will ai all times be produced, to such as
may be desirous to purchase. And the
subscriber who executes this power, will
hold himself hound to make such further
explanations as cannot but be completely
satisfactory to any body. The sale ot
these lands does not result from any risk
t.< sell them, but from necessity; result
ing from the entire loss of their present
owners fortune, by Spanish Spoliation
Which still remainsnnredressed, after all
the efforts, that could be made, by the
American Government, for the last twenty
years past. —No further proof will he ne
ct ssary to satisfy any person who may be
inclined to purchase any of these lands.—
Can on inspection of the particular tracts
and informing themselves of their quali
ties, and their particular advantages.—Not
one of these tracts of land, hut, was se
lected more than fifty years ago by per
sons ot skill and^ndgment.

Apgustq, January 1.1 m
Brought to its Highest pur
fec ion-
THr.Snhscriber in the jiears of his youth
and since, throng! life, has ever paid
the most pointed attention to the truly im
portant, and deeply interesting subject
of Penmanship, as an art of the most uni
versal use,and convenience in every stage
and every department of civilized and
polished life, as peculiarly adapted to the
convenience andndvAage of those of it,
who are destined to fill the active, and
laborious stations and departments of it,
and more peculiarly adapted to adorn, po
lish and particularly to accomplish that
portion of society, destined by na
ture, to sweeten, cherish, animate and
endear themselves to it. Viewing tlm
art of this very high, and important na
ture on civilized and refined society, hi
lias ever viewed with deep and sensible
regret, the manner in which the teaching
of this indy important, and all interest
ing art has been conducted.—Early, sen
sibly and deeply impressed with a full
conviction of its importance, utility, an '
advantages in society, he, early in life
applied himself to masters, the most com
fdetdy competent, to impart a full; per
ect and accurate knowledge of it, Tim
i knowledge, he has fully and most com
plelely possessed through life; but no
event having ever induced him to make
any off er to the public, of communicating
and teaching of it, until circumstances ol
a hard earned and afflicting nature, resul
ting from Spanish spoiliations, particular
ly known to many of the most eminent
and distinguished citizens of this commit
nity, induced him, on the 20th of July
last, to give publicity to his intention of
teaching the art in its fullest perfection
to the young Ladies and Gentlemen of dis
tinguished families in this community.
lu consequence of that notice, sufficient
means have been afforded to him, of giv
ing the most satisfactory evidence of lib
possessing the art, in its highest perfec
lion, as the inspection of the specimens
tff the pupils of liis Academy, have most
amply, and satisfactorily proved —Au
thorised from the trials made, and the.
specimens that have been submitted to
universal inspection: To say; that he will
guarantee and engage to instruct any at
lentive young Lady or Gentleman, of al
most any age, from five years, to write
an elegant, beautiful and corret band, in
eighteen days.
And this has determined him, to an
nounce it, as his intention, to ihe respect
able families of this community, and to
those of the sister stale ot Georgia, that
from the present day, he wall pursue it,
as a prcftssioi. And holding himself
bound, by the ties of gratitude; and res
p- cl, to make liis first tender of services,
as a W riling Mast or, to the respectable
inhabitants of this community; and to
hose of the sister state of Georgia—
He therefore solicits, the kind patronage
of the beneficent of bo h states, and the
which, should it be their pleasure to ?.f
--lord to him, He, will use, the greatest
exertions in his power, to make present,
an era in the finish of the education of the
young ladies of both states, leaving them
in full possession of the most important,
us'ful, and to them, mo>t interesting art
of IVriling, a fair, easy, beautiful and ele
gant harut, at a less expense of time, and
money, than was ever before demanded.—
For farther particulars, relating to this in
tended profession, so deeply intetestingfo
society, he prays leave, to refer, to the
Subscriber, at present residing at the
Mansion House Hotel.
