A SHAKE IN MUSIC.
Jo Gunn, like many another one.
_ In music was a screamer;
So glib his tongue on music run,
It might be called a steamer.
No wondcr that a lad like Jo
Should be on singing bent;
He had a voice like any crow,
Which nature she had lent. •
He'd raise the music-notes sublime,
He’d give them rapid fall;
In keeping tune ho deemed that time
Was saiity wasted all.
But chief the genius of Jo Gunn
Lay iu the music’* shake:
lie had a method nil his own
To give the rpiiiv'ring qdake.
lie shook hi3 hands, he shook bis head,
lie shook his feet end all;
Then, breaking forth in triumph said,
••That is a shake, by gaul!"
From the London Littrvry Gazette.

CKNTENXJUM OF GEORGIA.
Our promising young sister was horn on Fri
day, 9th February, 1733, and therefore is now in
her lumdreth year, yet though of this age and
embonpoint iu appearance, she has not yet reach
ed above a fourth of li-r growth-
The following description, of ha christening,
taken from Whitinnrsh’s SuutMl^mliuaGazette,
of March. 31, 1733, will interest equally Caroli
nians ami Georgian,:
First Dinner, first Sermon, and first Home.
■ Account of the progress of the first colony sent
to Georgia. - ,, „, „
“We set sail from Gravesend on 1/th Novem
ber, 1732, in the ship Auu, of two hundred tons,
Joliu Thomas, master—being about one hundred
and thirty persons, and arrived off tfte bar of
Charleston on. 13th January following. Mr.
Ogletlior|KS went on shore to wait upon the Gov-
cruor; was received with great marks of civility
and satisfaction; obtained an order for Mr. Mid
dleton, the* King’s pilot, to carry the *hip into
Port Koval, and for small craft to carry the colo
ny from'theuce to Savannah, with a promise of
further assistance from the Province, lie return
ed ou board the fourteentli day, and came to an
chor within tiio bar of 1'ort Royal at about six
teen miles distance from Beaufort.
On the-18tb he went on shore upon French s
IsWud, and left a guard of eight men upon John’s,
being a point of that j-laud which commands tho
channel, and is about half way between Beau
fort ami the river Savannah. .They had orders
to prepare lints for the receptiou ol the colouy
against they should lie there ui their passage. ,
F’rom theucc he went to Beaufort town, where
ho arrived about one o’clock iu the morning, and
was saluted with a discharge of all the artillery,
aud had tho acw bnrraeks fitted up where the uew
rolouy landed on the 20th day, uud were in every
respect cheerfully assisted by Lie-ui. Mutts, Eu-
«igu Farrington, and the other ollieers ot Ins M.i-
j-stv’s independent company, as also by Mr. No-
labart, and other gcntleuicu of the neighborhood.
While the Colouy refreshed themselves there,
Mr. Oglethorpe went up the river, and chose n
situation for a town, and entered into a treaty
with Tom® Ciii Chi, the Mico, or chief of the
only it'Uion of Indians living uenr it.
He ro urned ou the twenty-fourth day, and they
celcbrao d the Sunday following (~8th January,
1733) as a JJay of Thanksgiving for their sale
arrival, and n sermon wasi preached by tho Rev .
Mr. Jones, (the Rev. Dr. Herbert who came with
the colony, preaching that day « Beaufort town.)
There was a great resort of tho geutlemcu ot that
neighborhood and their families, and a plonurul
dinner provided for the colony aud ail that came,
hy Mr. Oglethorpe, being four tat hogs, eight tur
keys. besides fowls, Euglish beef, and other pro
visions; a hogshead ofpiuich, u hogshead or beer,
and a large quautity of wiuo; and all tyu* dis
posed of iu so regular a maimer, that no persou
was drunk, nor auy disorder happened.
On the 3Utb, tile Colony embarked on boardla
sloop of 7,1 tons, aud five perwugers, aud made
sail, but were forced by a storm to put in .a. n
place called Look Out, and to av there allmi gUt.
The next day they arrived ul John s, whoa they

The river washes the foot of the hill, which
stretches along the-side of it nbout a mile, aud
forms a terrace 40 feet perpendicular above high
water.
From the Key, looking eastward, you may
discover the river as far as the island* iu the sea,
and westward, one may see it wind through the
woods above sis miles.
The river is a thousand feet wide, the water
fresh, aud deep-enough for sloops of 70 tons, to
come up close to the side of the Key-

Topics abound upon which her Centennial Or
ators might insist with justifiable pride. Among
others they may with safety assent that she ha,
surpassed every one of ilie old thirteen in the ra
pidity of her growth. Pennsylvania, ubotc pro
gress during tier first rmturv exceeded that of nil
tho others, possessed in'1/00, which was 110
years after her settlement, a population of 4-4.1.-
000. Georgia, before she has completed her first
century, has reached *510,000. Again, those of
the old”thirteen who nre beyond tho Potoinuc, iu-
dulge much self-complacency iu the delusion that
their movement is all celerity, and that the South'
is sluggish, stationary, aud rather advancing back-
icards. Now, bo Isir from tilts being- the fact,
Georgia has distanced every one of them in her
increase, except New York, *ind her she has
clearly beat. The population of Pennsylvania at
present is but somewhat mere than three times
its amount forty years ugn, that of New York
less than six .times, whereas that of Georgia ap
proaches sevenfold its amount in 1790.
Another truth, which a Georg! :n may be ex
cused in contemplating wirli satisfaction, may be
specified: it is this, that'while the “Old Domin
ion'' is yit-ldidg to an incxplirable infatuation
Which will destroy hersolf, and is already shak
iug the foundation of Southern prosperity, this
young member of tho American family cherishes
the spirit, and resolutely adhere to luc institutions
of the Plantation States. IVa admire her fideli
ty. May she ever continue the profitable, oonlevt
of seeing which ran do the other the most good,

From the Consti’.uiimalist of the 2d March.
On this day ...forty-one years ago, diod that ex
traordinary and highly esteemed rum Jopn NVes-
let—the founder of a Church—powerful in pie
ty, talents, numbers and wealth.
Mr. Wesley was born in the year 1703, ami at
the age of six, had a narrow escape from the
flames, which induced him to adopt as bis motto
—••Is not this a brand plucked from the burn-
ing.” _ '
llis education was classical, and about 1730,
;md his brother Charles founded the Society
of Methodists; called so at first in derision, from
a sect of Physicians at Rome, founded by "Tllem-.
ison—differieg iu practice, from others of the fac
ulty—and also, from ccrtaiu polemic Doctors
who sprpnc up iu the 17th century, and zealous
ly defended the Church of Rome. •
in 173oi thr brothers cama to this country with
the view of converting the Indians. In the same
vessel with them was a company of Moravians,
and it has been affirmed, thatTrum an intercourse
with these during the pn-sage—came much of that
strict economy by which ;be Methodists are distin
guished.
Mr. Wesley was at first greatly shocked at, and
opposed to field'preaching, then successfully pur
sued by his friend W liiificM—but he soon gave
up his objections, aud engaged in y it zealously
himself. In 1739, a meeting house was built, and
a society of Methodists formed at Bristol. In
1742, Wesley aud \\ bitfield differed on doctrinal
points—each took liis course—but Mr. \l esley
proceeded to organize his sect. He established
class-meetings—animal conferences—appointed
preachers and conferred the title ol Bishop.
Mr. Wesley is supposed to have travelled uear
300,000 miles and to have preached 40,000 ser
mons. He published several volumes of sermons,
hymns and tracts. .

uiges of auyothertotirittl'ln travelling by night,
!u the beginning of April, through the valleys of
Mouut Bphruim, he was attended for more than
an hour hy an ignis fatuu* that displayed itself iu
a variety of extrawdinary appearances. It wa*
sometime globular, aud rometimM pointed like
tbr flames of a eatidlu; then it spread itself »o at

mast* ami yards of ships, aud are called by the
mariners eorpusanse, n corruption of cuerpo santa,
or sacrod body, of the Spaniards. The same
were the Castor and IVdux of the auciunts.—
Smnd writers iinve attempted to account tor the
phenomena, particularly for the ignis fatuu,, by
supposing it to 'bit occasioned ov successive-
swarm, of flying glow-worms, or other insects of
tho same nature, liut,-as Dr. Shaw observe,,
not to perceive or ft cl any of these insects, even
when the light of which they produce spreads

One - of the most extraordinary cases of somno-
