Naval Action
AN INTERESTING ITEM OF HISTORY
(NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED.)
Giving, with other important and inierosting
matter, an account of one of the earliest Naval
Actions between the United S'ales and Grea'
Britainfought near the mouth of the Chesapeake
Bay.
The past few years have brought to light
many interesting papers and documents, illus
trative of the early history ot this State, suppo
sed until recently to have been lost, as also ma
ny relating to incidents which seemed to have
escaped the recollection of the few living co
temporaries thereof, and even tradition from the
last generation to the present. Among the lat
ter is an account of one ot the earliest naval
actions, between several barges belonging to the
State of Maryland on the one part, and to Great
Britain on the other, and fought near the month
of the Chesapeake Bay. C 1 that action, which
until now, has been veiled in darkness, we have
as full and complete an account as possible in
the original staiements by the surviving com
manders of each Maryland vessel engaged tn
the action, besides letters from other eye wit
nesses, &c., all of which are on file at Annapo
lis. A correspondent has furnished us with a
copy of the same, which we insert at full length
in this day’s issue, being'he first time they have
ever met the public eye in print. We have no
doubt they will be read with much intere-t; the
more so because lha' descendants ot all those
engaged therein live in numbers on the lower
pan of the Eastern Shore and are largely known
throughout the Slate.
We regret that the letters reflect so little cre
dit upon the commanders of some ot the barges,
the more too as several ot the commanders had
in previous actions fought nobly and done the
State much service. A statement might b» de
rived from the letters much more agreeable and
gratifying to Marylanders, but, as historians,
we teel the obligation to give all the details and
circumstances we could collect concerning the
action, and are sure that, from the crimination
and justifications contained in the staiements,
our readers will be enabled to form a true and
impartial estimate of the affair.
In the arrangement of the letters we have dis
regarded dates, and given them the order Irom
which we deem the least prejudice of the case
is to be obtained. Nor does this materially af
fect the historic order.
The letter of Com. Walley gives a short ac
count at the doings of the fleet in a few days
previous to the general action, in which befell.
The letter of Lt. Handy gives a guardedly im
partial general account of (he fight, and the let
ter of Mr. Done partakes of <he same character.
Then follows a letter Irom Geo. Dashiel, whose
information was, likewise, second hand, and
throws but little light upon the affair apart
from the others. The statements ot Captains
Frazier and Speddin, (which, we judge Horn an
expression in Dashiefs letter, were besides his
own,) made upon the requisition of theExecu--
tive, evince the partial necessity of their course
from position and circumstances, and are, so tar
a justification from the charges of Col. Cropper
and others The statement ol Dashiel, we
think, most fully justifies the unanimous con
clusion which had been arrived at concerning
him—for verily it is Hie letter ol a coward, and
the importance with which he announces the fir
ingot a gun, when out of sight and hearing of
nn enemy, is truly ridiculous. Some allowan
ces are to be made for the strong language of
Col. Cropper, who was aboard the deserted and
unfortunate’ffrotector.
Each letter throws some light upon this high
ly interesting action, and altogether renters the
account entirely complete. It is, however, to
be regretted, that so little is said concerningthe
loss of the British on the occasion. There is
little doubt that had but a portion, perhaps even
one, of the other barges done their duly, the late
of the action would have been different. As it
is, little light is thtown upon the British side of
the matter, though we may judge that their loss
was by no means inconsiderable. Those enga
ged with the Protector suffered severely as will
be perceived from Col. Cropper’s account.
From the anxiety of Speddin and Frazier for
an examination into their conduct, as per letter,
we feign hope that they were fully prepared en
tirely to justify themseldes—indeed, we are in
clined to believe, rfrdjustify themselves in pub
lic estimation, for we have the proceedings of a
court martial for the trial of Dashiel and ano
ther officer by the name of Bosfield, both of
whom were dismissed the service, and thete is
no record of even an investigation into the con
duct of the other two.
We have been furnished with a transcript ot
the evidence taken before the court martial in
the said case,«A»hich though it throws little ad
ditional light upon the transaction, yettormsa
part ot its history, and we will therefore on an
early occasion lav it also before onr readers.
We expect also to be furnished with other un
published items of history, &c., which will
from time to time be laid before our readers.
Pocomokh, Nov. 22, 1782.
Sib On the 12th inst., the barges under my
command lay in Onancock, Eastern Shore of
Virginia, when we were apprised of five Bri
tish barges on the sea coast standing to the
Southward, and generally supposed they in
tended to enter our bay. The barges were im
mediate! mt in motion, and on the 14:h inst,
arrived at Gwinn’s Island, where it was suppo
sed they would rendezvous it they came into
the buy. That night, two of the said barges
came to, under the East side of said island;
early on the morning ol the 15th we discovered
eaeh other al about one league distance. As
soon as we were discovered the enemy made
down the bay. A general chase ensued, and
about 11 A.M., the sternmost barge was brought
to by the Defence. Capt. S. Frazier; proved to
be manned with sixteen men and commanded
by a certain Daniel J. Brooks, (late of Dorches
ter county.') We continued chase after the
other then in sight, chased her without Cape
Charles, and under Smith's Island discovered
two other barges, gate chase, but they had so
great start that it was impossible to come up
with them beloredark. At 6P. M., gave over
ohase, by which time we had chased them out
of Wreck Island inlet to sea, which lays about
five leagues Northward of Cape Charles. lam
informed they have since rendezvoused at Chi
goteague, and gre there now waiting, as is sup
posed, lor our barges to go up ; however, an.\
determined to continue as long as 1 possibly
can, and have not the least doubt of frustrating
any attempt they may make on this bay. We
took two Lieutenants belonging to the two bar
ges routed from Smith’s island, one of which I
have taken the liberty of sending as an ex
change for Lt. Geo. Grison, who was unfortu
nately taken prisoner when Com. Grison fell.
The other is one Peter Franks, a Portuguese,
who is notoriously known to be at, and privy to
almost everv house burnt in the State, and on
the Eastern Shore. Very respectfully,
ZEDEKIAH WALLEY.
Silk Plant.
The following letter, says the Petersburg In
telligencer, from D. Smith McCauley, Esq , our
consul at Tripoli, to Francis Markoe, Jr., the
Secretary of the Nalional Institute, will be read
with much interest. He transmitted with it
some seed of the Vegetable Silk, which, in ail
probability, in our varied and wonderful soil
and climate, will become a new article of com
merce, and, like our cotton, a new and impor
tant source ot wealth, Should it succeed, and
become a great staple article like cotton, what
important consequences may we not expect to
follow from its introduction:
U. S. Consulate, )
Tripoli, 28th Dec., •8-14. (
Sir—l herewith transmit to the Institute a
small specimen of “vegetable silk,” raised
from a few seed that I received from Lucca,
Italy, which originally came from Syiia.
Without any instruction or knowledge ot this
plant I sowed the seeds in pots in the month of
March last. Io May and June, they obtained
the height of six to eight inches, when 1 trans
planted them into my garden, about eight in
chesapart—much too near asexperience proves.
In the month ot August and September they
were in flower, and the pods commenced open
ing in October, the plants being from six to
eight feet high, and though we have had the
thermometer frequently as low as 43“ Fahren
heit, and the apricot and pomegranate tree, with
the vine, have all shed their leaves, yet there
remain several pods on the “silk plant” which
are perfectly green, and show no signs of suf
fering or cold. This, with some other proofs
of the plant bring hardy, induces me to believe
and hope that it might be successfully cultivated
in all our cotton growing states, and should il
become a staple commodity, no doubtthe inven
tive genius of our countrymen would soon dis
cover the means of spinning it without the aid
of the cotton fibre, which I am told they' use in
Syria to assist in spinning, their knowledge ol
the art not extending beyond the primitive dis
taff. The only information that I have ac
quired ot this plant, farther than recounted
above, is trom the mouth ot one of Ihe “propa
ganda ” established here, who has seen it grow
ing in Syria, where he tells me it flourishes,
and that “cultivation of a small field gives a
support to a family;” that in the second and
third years it is extremely productive. The
plants grow to the height ot ten and fifteen tect.
and are generally separated from 8 to" 10 feei
from each other.
I also forward you by this occasion the srnal
quantity of seed ot the plant which the limiter
number 1 have raised enables me to spare, will
the hope ot sending a greater quantity nex
year, should the climate ot our southern state:
prove favorable to its culture, or should it evei
be otherwise interesting.
I beg you will distribute these seeds amongs
those gentlemen of our “ cotton-growing states
who will take an interest in making an experi
ment of the cultivation.
Very respectfully,
Sir, your most obd’t serv’t.
D. Smith McCauley.

Women of the Revolution.
If any one can read the following without
confessing to strong emotions, such person is
made of different stuff from the generality of
mankind. The slory was related by a mother
to her children a lew years since, and will show
the deep patriotic spirit which existed among
the people ofNew England al the trying period
to which it relates:
Late in the afternoon of one ol the last days
in May, ’75, when 1 was a few months short of
fifteen years old, notice came to Townsend,
Mass., where my father used to live, that fifteen
soldiers were wanted.
The training band was instantly called out,
and my brother, next older than I, was one that
was selected. He did not return till laie at
night, when alt weie in bed. When I rose in
the morning I found my mother in tears, who
informed me that mt brother John was to march
the day after to-morrow morning, at sunrise.
My father was at Boston, in the Massachusetts
Assembly. Mother said that though John was
supplied with summer clothes, he must be away
seven or eight months, and would suffer for
want of winter garments. There were at this
time no stores and no articles to be had, except
such as each family would make itself. The
sight of a mother’s tears always brought all lhe
hidden strength of lhe mind to action. I im
mediately asked her what garments were needed.
She replied, “ pantaloons.”
“O, it that is all,” said I, “ we will spin and
weave him a pair before he goes.”
“Tut,”said my mother, “the wool is on the
sheep’s back, and the sheep are in lhe pasture.”
I immediately turned to a younger brother,
and bade him take a salt dish and call them to
lhe yard.
Mother replied, “Poor child, there are no
sheep shears within three miles and a half.”
“ I have some small shears in the loom,"
said I.
“ But we can’t spin and weave it in so short
a time.”
“ I am certain we can, mother.”
“How can you weave it'd—there is a long
weh of linen in the loom.”
“No matter; I can find an empty loom.
By this time the sound ol the sheep made me
quicken my steps towards the yard. I requested
my sister to bring me the wheels and cards,
while 1 went lor lhe wool. 1 went into the
yard with my brother and secured a tvhile
sheep, irom which 1 sheared with my loom
shears half enough fora web; we then let her
go with the rest ol the fleece. I sent the wool
in by my sister. Luther ran for a black sheep,
and held her wnile I cut off wool for my filling
and half of the warp, and then we allowed her
to go with the remaining part of the fleece.
The wool thus obtained was duly spun,
washed, sized and dried ; a loom was found a
few doors off, the web got in, woven and pre
pared, cut and made, two or three hours before
mv brother’s departure—that is to say, in forty
hours alter the commencement, without help
from any modern improvement.
The good old ladv closed by saying: “I felt
no weannesss—l slept not. I was serving my
country ; I was assisting my poor mother. 1
was preparinga garmentfor my darling brother.
The garment being finished, 1 retired and wept,
till my overcharged and bursting heart was re
lieved.”
This was, perhaps, one ol Gen. Stark’s sol
diers, and wilh such a spirit to cope with, need
we wonder that Burgoyne did not execute his
threat of marching through the heart ot Ame
rica.
Steam Boat Launch.
Our readers have already been apprised of the
fact, that a company of enterprising gentlemen
were constructing a steamboat to run on the
Coosa river, between the falls and the head of
navigation on that river. The following ac
count of the launch of that boat, which we find
in the “ Coosa River Journal," wilt interest eve
ry friend of internal improvement in Georgia
Launch of thb Stbamb at Volunteer!—
3,000 persons Present.— The launch of the steam
boat under construction at the Head ot the Ten
Island Shoals, upon lhe Coosa River, in St.
Clair county, Alabama, catneoff as heretofore
announced upon the 241 h ult. It was witness
ed by a large concourse ol persons, numbering
at least 3,000, from the counties ol St. Clair,
Benton, Talladega, DeKalb, Cherokee, (Ala.,)
and a few trom Floyd county, Ga. An assem
blage so large, at a point so secluded, was as
unexpected as it was gratifying, and affordsevi
dence that the inhabitants ol the Coosa valley
are awake to ihe advantages they will derive
from the steamboat navigation of lhe Coosa
River. Indeed, a people must be singularly
apathetic, that could look with indifference up
on the great change that wiil take place in
their position incident upon the completion of
the Rail Roads of Georgia, and the opening ol
the navigation of IGO miles of a river, passing
through the heart of their country, which has
hitherto been almost useless. The head of the
Ten Islands Shoals which will be the foot of
navigation ot the Coosa River, lies so far into
the interior of Alabama that at least one-third
part ol the State will feel immediately lhebene
ficial effects ol the opening of this new avenue
to market. The counties lying upon the east
ern side of the State already waggon their cot
ton and surplus produce to the head ot the Mon
roe and Georgia Rai! Roads. In the month of
November, when lhe State Railroad will be
completed to the Oostenaula river, and the
steamboat will be plying upon the Coosa river,
it is our calculation that all North Alabama
east ol the Muscle Shoals, and all middle Ala
bama within 50 miles of the head of navigation
of the Alabama and Warrior rivers, will cer
tainly adopt lhe Coosa river route to market.
Both time and expense will be in its favor—so
much so, indeed, that we have heard iuielligenl
merchants in both Tuscaloosa and Wetumpka,
assert, that they would receive their light goods
this way, even wilh the disadvantage ol 120
miles wagon carriage. Travel, which isgovern
ed more by time than expense, will hr attracted
from a much larger scope ol country than trade.
In November next lhe citiz -ns of Middle Ten
nessee and Northern Mississippi, will find this
the most expeditious route to tiie eastern cities,
and a well arranged system of staging would
even draw the travel at Memphis—the staging
between Memphis and Charleston will then be
only 200 miles.
Such then being the importance ot the Coosa
river as a link in exiension of the Georgia Rail
Roads, its navigation is ot equal importance to
Georgia and Alabama, and ihe launch of a
steamboat upon its waters is calculated.to ar
rest the attention ot al! who ate alive to the
great changes the progress ot internal improve
ments are making, in the wealth and prosperity
of the United States.
The people began to collect cn the evening
previous to the launch at the hospital le dwell
ing ot A. Green, Esq., the only house within
convenientdistanee oi the river. Many of lhe
candidates lor office at ihe election held on the
Ist Monday inst., availed themselves of this op
portunity to mingle with the voters, andamong-t
others we had the pleasure of making the ac
quaintance of Chancellor Martin, the indepen
dent candidate for Governor, and the Hon. Fe
lix G. McConnell, an eccentric member of the
last Congress, and now the independent candi
date for re-election in the 7th district—a large
company from Talladega county arrived with
flags flying and a good band ot music, just in
time to enliven the spirits of the youngpeople
with the prospect of a merry and exhilerating
dance. Under their anspices ihe evening pass
ed off'gaily. The morrow dawned bright and
glorious, and from sunrise until 12 o’clock, the
moment of the launch, the crowd kept continual
ly pouring in from all quarters. Many and cu
rious were the queries propounded by the in
quisitive bystanders. Many had never seen a
steamboat—nine-tenths had never seen a launch
—they were puzzled to know how she was to be
put into the water—the waggish boat hands hail
amused themselves by engaging a great nilm
bertocome with hand spikes, a quiz which,
however, was found out in time. The deck
was crowded with venturesome spirits, some of
whom, judgingfroin their anxious countenan
ces, w’ere apprehensive of serious consequences.
At length when all was ready, the music sound
ed a national air, and she glided into the water
to the infinite satisfaction of the admiring mul
tituae. She is a beautiful model, and sits grace
fully upon the water. Her length on deck is
140 feet, length of keel 145 feet, 20 feet floor, 21J
feet beam, 33} feet including guards, 4 feet depth
ofhold. She was designed to be ot very li'-bt
draft, and has more than satisfied the expecta
tions on this noint. Her draft now is 8 inches,
and it is the calculation that the cabins and ma:
chinery will double it. This will be 16 inches,
or we may say safely 18 inches when in con/
plete running order. With this draft she can
run the Coosa river in the lowest stage of water
that ever has been known. Everything is upon
the spot necessary for her entire completion, and
with good weather and health amongst the
workmen, she will be ready fora trip before the
Ist day of October. This will be jttsl in lime
to co-operate with the Rail Road that will then
be finished into Cass county, Georgia.
The launch over, and (he boat moored to the
bank, the company withdrew to the stand that
had been prepared in a dense and beautiful
grove to listen to speakers first upon the subject
of Internal Improvement, and afterwaids upon
general politics. W. Spencer Brown, Esq.,
civil Engineer, first addressed the assemblage,
and was followed by Col. Wm. B. Martin ot
Benton county, in an interesting notice ot the
progress of Internal Improvement throughout
the United States. He pointed out in a forci
ble manner the disadvantages under which that
part ol Alabama now labours, and the pleasing
anticipations ol improvement it might indulge
in for the future. Col. Martin was unhappily
interrupted before he had done full justice io
the subject, by the withdrawal of the ladies to
partake of the Barbecue, for which the late hour
in the day, and their long exposure in the sun
had well prepared lhem. He did not resume,
and lhe stand was taken by Chancellor Martin,
the independent candidate for Governor, who
addressed the people ably, and at great length
upon the subject of Alabama State politics.—
As this engages very little the attention ol our
readers, we shall content ourselves by saying,
that both candidates are democrats ot the most
orthodox stamp-differing mainly upon the fu
ture policy proper to be pursued in winding up
the Alabama Stale Bank and its branches. Col.
Terry, lhe regular nominee, is in favor of a
gradual curtailment of tire debts, giving lhe Di
rectors the discretionary power to extend the
time ot collection, when in their opinion the
debt will thereby be I etter secured. Chancellor
Marlin on the other hand, is opposed io all fur
ther indulgences; believes that they have al
ready involved the State in heavy losses, and
that the wisest policy is to collect the debts as
rapidly as possible. Then the people, bethinks,
will cheerfully submit to any taxation necees
sary to maintain the faith and credit of the
State.
Gen’l. McConne’l next ascended tire stand,
and entertained the crowd by a lew humorous
laushter provoking remarks. lie entered into
no argument—he was on the wrong side of the
r ver for that—out ol his district—but he told
his constituents that il they liked the looksol
just such an individual as he was, to be very
certain to pul the right name in the box on the
first Monday in August, and he would he sure
to win. He concluded by a witty, complimen
tary appeal to the ladies, and most felicitous
quotation of poetry, and descended from the
stand having said just enough to maintain, and
even increase his reputation tor eccentricity.
The Barbecue furnished abundant food lor
the large assemblage, and was creditable to the
hospitable managers. Not an accident; nor
even a mischance occurred to mar the pleasure
of the day. No liquors were permitted upon the
ground, and though we did occasionly detect an
evidence that the rule had not been literally com
plied with, stili we observed no other effect than
a pleasant hilarity among the partakers.
The scenerv at the Head ot the Ten Islands
is very beautiful. The river itself, looks like
a deep lake. Descending the river it seems to
pass to the right of a high bold chain of moun
tains, when suddenly turning to the left, lhe gap
is discovered, and almost immediately the still
waters are heard to break amongst the shoals
that continue for six miles. These shoals are
too abrupt to ad u.it the passage of an ascending
trade. For lhe present, they will be the south
ern limit of the Steamboat navigation upon the
Coosa River. But Alabama will in a few years
appreciate the importance oi a more intimate
union between the Northern and Southern divis
ions ol lhe State, and either by an improvement
ol the river, or a construction of a Rail Road,
unite the Tennessee, Coosa and Alabama rivers.
Before the close of the day lhe people had
nearly all disappeared, leaving enough behind
however, to call into full requisition lhe music,
and render the evening joyous with light hearts
and bounding figuics, until the short bouts of
night warned them all to repose.
Altogether il was a glad and happy day, only
to be equalled, we hope excelled, when the
Steamboat Volunteer, lands amongst onr own
hills.
Grand Musical Festival.—Foreign papers
stale that the most extensive preparations are
making at Bonn for a grand festival on the oc
casion of lhe inauguration of the bronze statue
to the memory ot Beethoven, to last three days,
the 11th, 19th and 13th of August. There will
be five concerts, at which 2000 performers will
assist. All the musical genius of Germany
are expected to assemble on this occasion, as
weil as many foreign distinguished musicians,
including Auber, Berlitz, Heleve, &c. The
music will be under the direction ot Dr. Brier
denstein ; it will commence with a grand mass
by Beethoven at the cathedral. Listz, who had
contributed previously .£4OO to the subscription,
has set to music a cantata for the occasion.

GIDEON HOTCHKISS.
Augusta, Ga., May 1, 1845.
The undersigned having purchased the Patent
of the above celebrated wheels lor the State o
Georgia, are prepat ed to receive proposals for
the sale of rights for counties or lor single rights.
They are also prepared to supplv all orders
for wheels at short notice, and to furnish compe

Flutter Wheel Mill, if in good order, and hung
upon the same bearings, if sufficiently strong to
sustain the power of the Wheels. When used
for Saw Mills they require no gearing to produce
from 175 to 300 strokes per minute. Backwater
is no impediment when there is a head above.

NOTICE TO COTTON PLANTERS.
IWILL say to the planters of Geor
gia and South Carolina, that J continue to
carry on the manufacturing of Cotton Gins in
Crawlordville, Ga., where 1 am prepared to ma
nufacture them on various plans to suit purcha
sers. I will give a minute description of my
best gins. My saws are of the best cast steel,
and 10 inches in diameter, and I put nine teeth
to the inch; saw cylinder one and a half inch
square. The breasts are all wrought, well faced
with steel and very thick ; the brush is equal if
not superior to any made, and runs on the anti
friction plan. If persons should not like the an
li-friciion plan, I make them with a very superior
box, which will contain oil enough to last the gin
three days, with a steel screw in the end so as to
prevent the saw’s rubbing the breast. Either ot
the above mentioned kinds of gins I wiil sell at
$2 50 per saw, and warrant them to make as
good cotton as any gins made in the United
States, and to gin a good quantity per day. 1
will make the plain gin of the same material for
$2 per saw, the saws 9 inches in diameter, ami
warrantthem to make equally as good cotton. I
will frankly acknowledge that my old make of
g ns were nothing like equal to the gins that 1 am
now making. Any person wishing one of the
above mentioned gir. swill address the subscri
ber at Crawfordville, Ga., and a gin of either of
the above mentioned kinds wiil be delivered and
warranted to perform equal to the above recom
mendations.
I will further state to the planters my reason
lor mentioning hat my breasts are all wrought)
I have tried lhe cast ribs and find them not equa
to the wrought. In fully authenticating what 1
say relative to the performance of rny improved
gins 1 give below certificates from gentlemen
who have used my gins fur the last s aeon.
Repairing will be done by special contract on
ly, and as cheap as any gin maker in the South
ern States. AH orders addressed to the subscri
ber will receive prompt attention.
1 will keep gins for sals at the principal ware
houses in Augusta.
S. R. CRENSHAW, Crawfordville, Ga.
Crawfordville, March 11, 1845.
This is to certify that I purchased last tail one
ofS. R. Ctenshaw s improved anti-fiiction cotton
pins, ami said gin has come fully up to the ie
ti.inimen.lnsi »n given to lhe gin. I can gin from
1000 to 1200 pounds of neat cotton per day,and
makegood cotton, such as will command from }
to I cent over that of the common gin.
GILCHRIST OVERTON.
Gbkenk County, Ga., March 25, 1845.
Tins is to certify that I purchased a fifty saw
anti-friclinn Gin of Air. N. R. Crenshaw last Fall,
each saw has one hundred and seventy-two tec th
which are very fine ; the bru?h wheel has eighteen
rows of brushes; the gin runs very liJnt, so
mu h so that one mule is salTicient to carry it
without difficulty. The cotton when ginned has
to a cons.d -rable extent the appearance of having
bconcarded, and s) coinplet. ly is the lint s. pa
ratt d from the motes that almost the whole of
them drop down. I have compared the cotion
ginned by a Carver gin with mine, and it was de
cided by several persons who saw the samples,
that mine had fewer motes, and was better gin
ned in every respect. If Mr. Crenshaw would
make al’, his gins like mine, I would recommend
all wh > want gins to seed to Crawfordville, in-
Ftead of to the North or anv where else.

WARM SPRINGS.
Sf THE fTate of Georgia, deaerved-
I iv cclcbroieil for tho fertility of 11h soil, the
WFS and abundance of Its mineral ores, its
stupendous cataracts, and beautiful mountain
seem ry; can also boast the most valuable mine
ral fountains on the lace of the globe.
This ,s no vain boasting; a distinguished gen
tieman, one who has travelled extensively in to
reign land*, assures us, that while in England
and on the Continent, he visited lhe most cele
brated watering pi ices ; that he saw not one on
which Nature had been so prodigal of her guts
as those bestowed on the Wurm Springs, in Meri
wether county, Georgia.
This truly wonderful natural curiosity,and de
lightful Summer retreat is situated on a sj ur ot
the Pine Mountains, thirty-six miles north of the
city of Columbus. A fountain, gushing forth
per ininuta fourteen hundred gallons of crystal
water of 90 J temperature, is Indeed a rare curios
ity. In virtue, however, of curing diseases,
which have defied the skill of lhe most eminent
Physicians, seems still more wonderful.
The ingredients of the water as nsctitained by
accurate analysis air—quantity one wine pint,
or 28 875 cubic inches —specific gravity 0,998
distilled water being 1000. GASSES—Carbonic
acid gas, 2 cubic inches. Sulphurate of Hy
drogen, a trace.—Solid contents: Carbonate of
Lime, 1 grain —Carbonate of- Iron, 3.5, grains—
Carbonate of Magnesia, 10 09. The tempera
ture of the water, Winter r.nd Summer. 90 de
grees.
The certificates of Judge Stocks, of Greene,
Mr. Carey, of Columbus, and others, who have
experienced it? beneficial effects, and the opinions
of such Physicians as Boswell and Hoxey,
should satisfy the most seep ileal of its healing
properties.
As u resort for him who already enjoys tho
blessings of health, and who chooses during the
sultry Summer months to lay aside the duties oi
his avocations, to travel in eean h of pleasure,in
ah< althier and cooler there are but few
places in America, vffier- he can find cooler
breezes, more pictures, Vie mountain scenery, a
greater diversity of amusements, or more re
fined society, and not one where he can enjoy
the luxury of warm bathing to such perfection rs
at this favored spot.
Ihe subscribers having I ecome the exclusive
p:r.prietors, nre permanently located here. They
beg leave to assufe those who may honor them
with a visit, that all their energies wiil be direct
