April 7. By a gentleman from the northward, we are informed, t’nat a woman living in Argyle (ltate of New- York) on Mon day fortnight, committed a horrid mur der on a child of two years old, entrult ed to her care to bring up—a jury fat on the body and brought in their ver did, wilful murder! It appeared that the child by fome means had wet its cloaths ; the inhuman woman in a tit of rage caught the child by the arms, and held it to the tire, till burnt to a crifp— a son of the woman, twelve years old, who was the only one in the house beside, was queltioned by the jury, who find the child while writhing in her arms, cried, Mamma mamma, you burn me! The wo man is now conulied in gaol at Salem. MARTINSEURG, April 2S. A mofl savage murder was committed la ft Sunday night, on the body of Mr. Nicholas Young, an honest, aged citi zen, living in the borders of Shepherd's Town. About twelve o’clock on that night, Mr. Young dilcovercd attempts making to enter his house by a back window ; he immediately rose from his bed, went out of the door to the back of the house, where he was instantly lei zed, a pistol put to his body, difeharged* and the contents lodged in his breast ; he, after walking two or three paces, fell and expired ; his unhappy wife, on hear ing the report of the pistol, ran to his relief, when fhc no sooner law the part ner of all lhe held dear lying a corps, but an immediate attempt was made at her life by the difeharge ©f another pistol which, fortunately,only burnt the prim ing in the pan, and flic escaped. From her heft rccoliedion she saw two per sons, who were acceffary in the hor rid adl, and heard her husband speak to the one who lhot him, previous to his ■tall: the villain’s name was mentioned but ihc difremembers it. The cause of this daring attempt appears to have been * rom die unfortunate Mr. Young’s hav ing received a large payment the even ing before, for a plantation he had fold and the villains apprehending the money to be in the house, determined on the murder, with a view to obtain it : how ever it was left m Shepherd's town the evening it was received, but the aged Columbian jEufeum, proprietor loft his life by its means.

Savannah, March 25th. Cotton Ginning. TH E Subscriber is empowered by Mr. E ft E, of the Bahama 1 Hands, to receive a fubfeription for his Cot ton Ginning Machine. Gen tleman of the Hates of South-Carolina and Georgia, who may wish to become fubferibers, are requested to fend for ward their names as soon as convenient, in order that the fubfeription may be closed. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv er the Machine, independent of the pow er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con tracts that this Machine will gin joolbs. of clean cotton per day, with a small impelling power either of wind, of wa ter, or of horses. This machine in a few days, and with a trifling expence, can be attached to any machine in use for other purposes, such as rice machines, saw or grist mills. Mr. Eve will lend over a perlon competent to let them in motion, and fully to explain their Sev eral powers. From fome small expe riments that have been made upon the green feed cotton it appears that from Ijo to 20olbs. can be ginned in this machine per day. For further informa tion upon this lubjeft I beg leave to re fer gentlemen to the underiigned certi ficate from a refpedable Cotton Plan ter of this state, who has been an eye witness of the execution done by this machine, and to various certificates that have come out at different times in the Bahama papers, signed by the moft ref pettable Planters in that country. Fur ther particulars will be made known upon application from any gentleman who may with to become a lubfcriber. Tbs machine has met with universal ap probation in every part of the Weft- Indies to which it has been sent. THOMAS SPALDING. GEORGIA, Chatham County. IDO certify, that, being on a visit for my health to New Providence, one ot the Bahama I Hands,;! was induced to make an experiment on Mr. Eve’s Cot ton Ginning Machine of the green feed cotton, commonlycuitivatedin the back country of the southern dates, and sent to Savannah for a small quantity there of, which on experiment 1 found to An swer. The rainy season setting in a bout the time I received the cotton the whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve as sured me his machine was competent, from the calculation he had made, to clean out in good weather two hundred weight of clean cotton in the course of a daj'. The machine separates the feed from the cotton by rollers without do ing any injury to the ilaple, and, from a sample ot feed and cotton in possession of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be immediately convinced of the truth of this opinion. During my flay in Nas sau I frequently visited Mr. Eve’s ma chine which was impelled by wind, and never saw more than two people attend ing the fame, one a grown person and the other a small boy. This machine is capable of being attached to almost any of those used for various purposes in this country; the conftrutflion appears by no means complex, and every planter of conference in the Bahamas is in the prattice of nfing them.
