New-York, September 25.
A Philadelphia paper of yesterday morning
says:— ,l YV e are concerned to state, that a ves
sel arrived on Sunday at the Lazaretto, from Sa
vannah, several of whose hands arc ill of the
Yellow l-’evcr, and one died on being landed at
the Lazaretto. We have a perfect reliance in
the prudence and activity of our board of health
who will no doubt adopt cveiy necessary pre
caution to guard against the inroad of this'dread
ful disease.”
His Britannic majesty’s schooner Pike was
lately taken by a Branch privateer. It is assert
ed in a Mew-Providence paper, that the pri
vateersmen cut off all the English sailor’s ears,
and placed them in their huts as cockades.
By an arrival at Philadelphia, from point Pe
tre, Guadalotipe, we learn that on the 17th of
August they had a hurricane at that Island, in
which several vessels were got off again with
out much damage, among which a brig belong
ing to th s port. The schooner Robert Daw
son front Philadelphia, who met w ith the above
gale off Descada, in which he lost his deck load
and received other damage, afterwards fell
in with an English cruizer, who behaved with
characteristic polieness, firing on him, tearing
up his cargo to look for plunder, then leaving
the same on deck.
Charleston, October 6.
Captain Lark from New-Orleans, on the 15th :
of September, oft’ Cape Antonio, was boarded
by the British brig Elk—examined very close- (
ly, broke open several letters, and impressed \
one man, assigning as a reason, that his protec
tion was not sealed, not considering the custom
house stamp as ?. seal. ;
On the first inst. in Ist. 31.2 long. 80. cap
tain La"k fell in with the brig William Gray,
captain Saunde s 40 days from Jamaica, for
Boston—being out of provisions, captain f aun- ‘
ders had put into St Mary’s, and sent his mate
and four hands ashore in the boat, to procure
some. A gale coming on, captain Saunders
was obliged to cut his cable and put to sea,
without his hands—he had since lost one man
overboard, and another had fallen from the
fore-top-sail yard, and was almost dead—the
captain and one negro alone remained to navi
gate the vessel. Captain Lark fell in with the
bfig again on Satutday last, and supplied them
with provisions, Sic. The brig’s sails were
much damaged, and it was the intention of eapt.
S. to put into the first port he could make.
The Danish brig Triton, captain Niffens,
which left this port a short time since, for St.
Mary’s, to take in a cargo of lumber, having
discharged all her ballast from the lower hold,
was left, at low water, on a hank. The tide rose,
and she filled. She has since bilged and will
be totally lost. Captain Niffens lost all his pa
pers, clothes, provisions. See.
The brig Hercules, Weeks, from Bordeaux
for New-York, with a cargo of wine, brandy,
Sic. foundered at sea in the gale of August 20th
in Lit 40. 32. long. 66. 30. after being out 42
days. The mate and five of the crew were lost.
The remaining three, with captain Weeks,
were on the wreck 8 days, when they were tak
en off by captain Whaley, of the biig Rover,
from Liverpool,and have arrived at Newcastle,
(mass.)
Ship Argo,Lockver, of and from Philadelphia
to Huvanna, was cast away on the 17,h of Sep
tember. about three leagues to the eastward of
Little Isaac rock. On the 19th, the crew and
passengers left the ship in the boats, when one
of them drifted into the Gulph Stream, where
she was fallen in wrh by the ship Comet, capt.
Dixev, having the honorable Daniel Clark, M.C.
owner, on board ; who, on receiving informa
tion that another bo t was drifting about, crtiis-’
ed for three days, when the crew were found
upon the Cheat Isaac rock. To this humane
and generous act of Mr Clark, are the crew
and p is engers indebted for their liv es, nor can
bestow too much applause upon a man who
will, for three days, sail out of his course, to
rescue his fellow creatures from misery and
dea>h. Captain*Lockyer and crew and Messrs.
Wharton. Courtauld and Parry, passengers,
arrived at this port on Tuesday, in the Comet.

PATRIOTISM,
We were highly gratified yesterday, at the
review ol the detatchment, under the command
of major John Ward, called “ The Legionary
Corps.” This detatchment constitutes the quo
ta to be furnished by the 7th brigade of this
state, of the 100,000 militia ordeied out by tlie
President of the United States ; and is entirely
composed of volunteers, in uniform, well arm
ed and disciplined, and prepared in every res
pect to take the field, it consists of a compa
ny of cavalry, captain John Geddes ; a lieuten
ant’s command of artillery, lieutenant John
Marshall; a corps of riflemen, captain J. C.
Priolcau ; the German Euisiliers, captain John
Slrobcl ; Rangers, captain Thomas Somarsall ;
the Foresters, captain \\ illiam Lee ; the liish
Volunteers, captain E._M. Phelon ; and the
South Carolina Volunteers, capt. Myer Moses.
—Charleston Times, October 6.
Among the numerous instances of patriotism
which the present crisis has displayed in every
section of the union, it is with pleasure we no
tice that of our fellow-citizens of this state.
Ihe militia ol the counties of Halifax and
Northampton, when called out to furnish con
tingent tninuteir.cn for the United States’ ser
vice, rejected the idea of a draught, and mote
than the number necessary to complete their
respective quotas stepped forward as volun
teers ; the only lot to be drawn was, who
should be enrolled.— Halifax jV. C. Journal.
On the 24th ult. a general muster was held
in Beaufort county, for the purpose of raising
their quota of 70 men. After appropriate ad
dresses from the officers, more than half the
whole regiment were found amongst the vo
lunteers, some ol the companies having turned
out to a man !—The colonel was under the ne
cessity of drafting to ascertain which should
have the honor to be returned.
On the 19th, a similar muster was hold in
Wilkes county, to raise 112 men ; when, after
being addressed by general Welborn, almost
the whole regiment became volunteers ? Af
terwards, those most anxious to be enrolled,
prevailed on the others to give them a prefer
ence.
On the 11th inst. a general muster was held
at Edenton, lor the purpose of raising the quo
ta ol men from Chowan county by draft, or
otherwise to make up the number of militia
required of this state ; when 48, the number
required, including officers, volunteered their
services. *
On the 11th inst. the militia of Edgccomb
was called together for the purpose of raising
127 men, their quota of the number to he fur
nished by this state, when, after a patriotic ad
dress from major Balfour, and notice being
given that such as were disposed to volunteer
in their country’s cause must advance four pac
es in front of the regiment. After the drum and
fife had passed the third time, they were imme
diately joined by captain M-Nair’s Light Infant
ry, who displayed great patriotism upon the oc
casion ; their example was followed by the
whole oft he regiment, (13 men only excepted)
who manifested their zeal by three cheers. A
second attempt was made to draw from the re
giment the 127 men only, but 304 rushed out
of the regiment, formed, and marched after the
drum and fife, each contending to be first to
avenge their country’s wrongs ; and lots were
at last cast to determine who should have the
preference.— Raleigh N. C. Regis er.
FROM THE PORT-FOLIO.
At a time when the pretty song of
“ Shepherds, I have loft my love ;
Have ycufeen my Anna 7”
was sung by every chamber-maid ; some wit,
eager to satirize the Grecian style of dress,
I then introducing by the ladies, wrote a divert*
j ing parody, which began
1“ Lovers, I have oft my waist ;
Have you seen my body ?”
As the ladies now discard all dress, except a
kind of longer chemise , we present them with
the following parody ; and sincerely hope, that
it may persuade them, as the winter approaches,
to purchase more flannel, and fewer muslins.
•Doctors, I have loft my health;
Where, O where's my vigour ’
No faithless swain, no adl of Health,
Reduc’d me to this figuie.
Plump and rosy was my face,
And graceful was my form,
T ill fafhion deem’d it a dF vee
To keep my body warm.
I farrific’d to modish whim,
(What belle can ere for fake it ?)
Tomakemyfeif genteel and Aim,
I ftript me almost naked
And naked thus I must remain,
Tift Fafiion weds with Reason ;
God grant they may united reign,
Before the frofty ieafon.
If two negatives make an affirmative, what

woman going over Roxbury ‘t<4ck, observed
she had left a box at some of thti shops in town,
the lid only being left in the cart. She sent
ter husband back to enquire among a lew
.hops, where she must have left it. With an
anxious, inquisitive countanance, he asked in
several stoics—“ A'obody don’t know nothing
about no box- that nobody left h-re , with no kiver
on, as nobody knows on ; does’here i"— Thistle.

Yesterday Messrs. R. St J. Bolton’s beautiful
new ship Gossypium, capt. Valentine, lately
launched at this port, completed her voyage
between this anil Liverpool ; having been gone
about one hundred days. She left Liverpool
the 21st of August, consequently, biings no
thing later than the Mary, from Greenock.
Pitvate letters by the Gossypium, confirm
the expectations indulged in those received by
the Mary—that ropara ion would be made for
the outrage on the Chesapeake, and that the
light ol search would be made a subject of ne
gotiation between the two governments. This,
however, was mere supposition, nothing official
having transpired on the subject.
Gun-Boat No. 2, lieutenant Elbert, arrived
at Five-Fathom yesterday. The May before
vesteiday. off North-Edisto, spoke ship Olive-
Branch, from Gieenock, bound to Charleston.
Arrived, this morning, sloop Ranger. Beck,
New-York, 6 days. In the Gulph, a few clays
ago, fell in with the ship Joanna Charlotte, cap
tain Norris, from Point-Petre, for New-York,
in a leaky condition, expecting every moment
to founder. Soon after, the schooner Minerva,
from Curacoa for New-York, hove in sight.
\\ hen, the crew agreeing to abandon her, they
divided themselves between the Ranger and
Minerva, and left the ship.
The brigs Luna, Georgia and Sea-Tsland
were at New-York. The Luna was to sail the
day after the Ranger. No late arrivals from
Europe at New-York.

COMMUNICATION.
In pursuance of the resolutions adopted and
published by the clergymen of Beaufort and its
vicinity, relative to their determined opposition
to the principles and practice of duelling, a ser
mon was delivered in the Episcopal Church, by
the rev. Mr. Hicks, on the afternoon of Sunday
the 27th ult. The scene was truly solemn and
awful ! —The other two churches were shut up
and the inhabitants, with their pastors, compos
ing several denominations of Christians, assem
bled in the above place of worship ; when an
appropriate and most impressive discourse was
delivered to them from the pulpit. The preacher
founded his discourse on the 4th chapter, 26th
and 27th verses of the Epistle to the Ephesians
— u Be ye angry, and sin not : let not the sun
go down upon your wrath : neither give place
to the Devil.” ihe causes, progress and con
summation of anger were judiciously discrimin
ated and forcibly expressed ; and the eloquence
of'he preacher was peculiarly discernablein the
effects which it produced—every beatt felt the
energy of his i.sonine, and many cyesoici
flowed with tears. The graves ofthe two young
men, who, in the bloom of life, had fallen sacri
fices, under the influence of this passion, were
in the immediate view of many of the hearers,
and by an appropriate reference to the tombs
of the deceased, near the close of the sermon,
the sensibilities ol the audience were peculiar
ly moved.
May such melancholy instances of the depra
vity of human nature, teach us to keep our hearts
with all diligence, and to cultivate those anfi.i
ble virtues, which will render us worthy mem
bers of society, and through the grace of the
gospel, in our dying moments, enable us to say—
O, death, where is thy sling ! O, gtave, where
is thy victory 1-—Charleston Courier.
