4 From tk» Baltimore Sun. 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. To Francis Markoe, Jr.. Esq., Cor.

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. The yragze statue is six feet high, on a granite pedestal/l-v Herr Hahnel.

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. np’.Pyw ’ F. W^C HF.NEY.

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.
