July 0. 4TH OF JULY. Anollier anniversary of this memorable day has passed, and the minds of eighteen millions of free* ! men were on Thursday last filled with those pleasing j emotions which the occasion naturally inspires. The ! fourth of July is a day dear to every American heart, and its annual recurrence will lie eomniemora- | ted as long as liberty shall dwell in our land. It is a day on which the and isyndant may proudly yet j modesty tell of the noble deeds of his ancestor —on which the orator may recount the exploits and aeh ievements of the soldiers and sngci of the Revolution -—holding their example up for the imitation of his admiring countrymen ; and it is a day we should con secrate to the remembrance of the perils which were encountered, the saciificcs which were made, by our fore-fathers, to secure to us liberty and independence, and of the obligations we are under to transmit the precious inheritance, unimpaired, to our posterity, j In itself, the 4th of July is no more than any other day—but associated as it is, in the mind of every American, with one of the most gloiious and momen tous events recorded in our history, it is set apart, in the patriotic mind, as a day interesting above all others. On that day, a band of men, small in num ber, but powerful in weight of character, energy and fearlessness of mind, and devotion to liberty, dared to proclaim to the world that they were free ! They had often assembled together under circumstances than which nono could be more ti ying to human firm- j ness—each had pondered over his country’s wrongs, j and each had sighed for redress. Rut there is a point in human courage—and when the proposition of Independence, absolute and unqualified, was made by him who said “ Girr m* Liberty , or give mr death” —some shrunk back dismayed —all were not prepar ed to take the bold, irrevocable step. But the elo quence of Henry, the irrefutable logic of Madison, the sound reasoning of Ada.ns, L c and others, pre vailed over the fears of the timid, gave Confidence to the wavering, jmd a Republic was born / We arc not deceived. age % will come, in whjclt the American Revolution will appear less than it is, one of tho great eat events in human history No age will come, in which;it will cease to be seen and felt, on either continent, that a mighty step, a great ad vance, not only in America, but in human nlfairs, was made on the 4th of July, 177(5. And no age, we trust, will come, when it shrill cease to be com memo- j rated—for it never can be forgotten, until virtue, pa triotism, and liberty sleep in a tomb from which there will be no resurrection. The return of this glorious day awakens peculiar amotions in the patriot’s breast. The days which tried men’s souls flit across the imagination, and the prob lematical scenes of the future rush upon the mind. In despite of the scenes of festivity and joy, which seem every where to prevail, an anxious solicitude j steals over the soul ofthe devoted patriot. T’*e cou- j templative mind involuntarily reverts to other days, and toother nations that were once flourishing and ! happy, and the question forces itself upon the mind, what shall be the fate of our own beloved and inde- j pendent country ? Are her liberties p rennial ? Shall this glad day be celebrated by future and unborn j ages 1 Shull tlnMnion and freedom of our happy j country, go down to posterity ns a beacon light, to direct other nations to the temple of liberty; or shall this light be put out forever ! If welook over the immense space of time which has ‘ rolled away since history began to record the deeds of man, how gloomy kre the reflections the retros- ! pcct excites. Nations in all their variety of forms j will be seen rising and tolling in rapid succession ; I •at one period presenting particular region* of the j earth in the enjoyment of all that could administer | pride, and national vanity , in another, exhibiting j a different aspect, when a few *hort years were suffi cient to change the scene, and instead of the crowd ed city, there was the desolate heath. There was a time when the city of Tyre stood , the proud rival of the greatest mo narchies, her acts ! were the wonder ofthe world, and her power com manded respect, even from her adversaries. To her ports the navies ofthe most distant kingdoms came, to procure those articles pride made necessary, but which their ingenuity was unable’ to fabricate. She commanded the nations ofthe earth—not indeed by the force of arras, hut by themiidcr and more certain agency of her skin. But if we turn to behold her now. where is she ? T'ie rolling waves ofthe Mediterrian I still wash her knrariently fertile shores.if* the mariner still pursues his pith in search of w ealth; burtn vain does he look for that renowned spot, which the histo- j nan has reowded, and the poet sung. On one side lie beholds the arid sands of Africa extending from ! the tumaltuous Atlantic, to the more peaceful waters ! ofthe Red Sea.—On this shore, where so many cel- ‘ ebrated cities once stood, and arts, science, and law ‘ flourished, nothing now appears other than a few wretched inhabitants, and the sand dashed by the unquiet wave! It was here the noble eity of Car thage reared her aspiring head, and nurtured in her j bosom, the warrior who so long shook the Roman j Empire. She sent forth her armies to meet the op ptessors ofthe world ; —but where now is Carthage ■or in what part of the great mass of the earth is she, to be found 7 The philosopher will direct you to a heap jfdust, around which, a few miserable inhabi tants hare erected their temporary dwellings. He will tell you these are the mouldering remains of the great city; here has terminated the fame of Hanni- ‘ bal. and the glory of Carthage—the busy pursuits of her citizens, and the wisdom of her rulers, hare not been sufficient to avert from her the common destiny of nature. Amid captivating assemblage of attractions there is presented an isolated, and obscure rock, which is all that now remains of the famous Tyre. Anew orderof feelings is brought into action, and we are insensibly carried back to the days of classic song; fancy connects the present with the past, and alarms the soul with a dread of wbat hereafter may be pro duced by the revolutions of time. Whereonce these celebrated emporiums astonished mankind, and the ample fleets unloaded their rich merchandize, noth ing now is heard save the watchful sea bird, as she cares for her callow brood. No magic incantation can awake the dead, no mystic ceremony can illum ine the sepulchral darkness which rests upon the scenes of other days. With enthusiasm which education has promoted and excited, the scholar will direct to imperial Rome, for the evidence of the immortality of genius,—and for an example of what human sagacity cun acoom ! pliah. We can scarcely tolerate the undeniable fact, that the Roman nation with its long catalogue of po ets, historians, orators, ami statesman, was felled be fore the ruthless ravages of time. Willingly would ! wo claim an exemption from the general lot of man kind, for a people to whom the world is so much j indebted. An instinctive horror covers the mind, when we are compelled to ad vert to the destruction of I those mighty governments, whose institutions have given vigor to succeeding times. But there was a nation, which deservedly ranked among the first, if not the very chief, to which even at this distant period, we must acknowledge our obli gations.— Her power was extended not so nuch over j the bodies, ns the minds of men; and hence her influ | cnee was of a milder, though more lasting nature. The triu phs of the Roman arms arc lost, in the ■ superior splendour of the Grecian art*;—in all that could ennoble human nature, or promote the intel lectual happiness of nv*n, Greece, was pre-eminent. Her history discovers instances of heroic virtue, to j which the annals of no nation can produce n parallel. The nurse of letters, mother of poetry, the region I which gave birth to Socrates, and a Plato, could | have been no common country. W ait, however, arms could not defend, arts and refinement* were incompetent to support. Greece fell before the colos sal power of Rom**, and while she groaned under the fetters of political authority, gave the laws of phil osophy to her conquerors. A question of deep interest arises out of this rev iew, and demands investigation from its connection with our own immediate prosperity. What was the I real cause of the dissolution of those great empires, which fllv now only known by the decaying wreck of j grandeur, every where apparent in Europe and Asia? They had military prowess, experienced generals, a ute philosophers, and eloquent orators, yet they have vanished away. The same late which befel them, may sooner or later overtake the proud republic of which we arc members. To avert it nothing will avail, other than the dissemination of moral and intel lectual light; without this every thing else will be worse than useless. The nations of antiquity fell in consequence of their want of what may be called general education, for | while the philospher argued in the lyccum, or debated I in the academic bowers, the great body of the people | remained in ignorance. They were indeed taught a knowledge of those gymnastic arts, which tend to fortify the body, and augment its strength, hut they were permitted to grope, in darkness, as related to their true and lasting interest in the public govern ment. The condition of the world generally, at the, pres ent period, exhibits a similar scene of melancholy degmdution on the one side, and proud exaltation on the other. The grand defeat in the institutions of every government on earth, is the want of an efficient mode of imparting instruction to the minds of those, who the most require the aid of knowledge to assist them iu the discharge of their ditties. Dear was the price your Liberty cost—precious the lives that were sacrificed. Ye are resolved never, never to suffer yourselves to be robbed of such an | invaluable inheritance, nor quietly to submit to any infringement of the rights and privileges which it confers. No! sooner will ye perish—sooner will yonder plane be strewed with your bones—sooner slurt! the tented buttle ground be stained with your blood, as with the blood of your fathers! for what is life without liberty to him, whose bosom glows w ith the patriotic fire 0f.’76, and who scorns to be a slave 1 * Be it your care then, to repel every encroachment upon your sacred rights and privileges to see that the equal rights of conscience—the freedom of religious opinion—the provisions‘and the spirit of the con eonstitutions of the political government of your country', are never trampled in the dust. Remem ber that eternal vigilance, is the price of Liberty ! ftT The Temperance Address delivered on the 4th by Mr. Haywood, was, we regret, handed to us too late for the present number of our paper. It shall aj>- pear in our next. An accident occurred at Riceborough on the 4th. A cannon used in celebrating the day, burst, and injured several individuals. Accident.— ln the upper part of this county on Saturday last, two individuals were out hunting, when a deer was suddenly seen be tween them —both fired, and unfortunately Mr. Michael King received the contents of Mr. Carter’s gun in his body. We learn thataltho Mr. King is severely wounded, he is likely to recover. tCj* Proceedings ojthe Fourth at Net cm ink Cottage. —A correspondant has furnished us with the proceedings at the above place. It seems they had a regular jollification there, toasts, speeches, and an oration was delivered. If we have room in our next, they shall appear. How often printers have to regret that their correspond ants do not write a legible hand. We can read almost any writing—Chickasaw and the dead languages, excepted. Death of Gen. John Floyd— We regret to learn the death of this esteemed citizen and soldier. He at one period of his life repre | sented this State in the Congress of the Union, and was greatly respected and esteemed iri ! ever station, which his fellow citizens invi ted him to occupy. He died at his residence ! in Camden county, on the 22d ult. aged about 65 years. Glynn County. — A writer in the last Bruns wick Advocate nominates F. M. Scarlett, Esq. | for the Senate, and Maj. U. Dart, for the House, to represent that county in the ensuing j legislature. They are gentlemen well quali fied to represent the interests of our sister county, and have no doubt will be highly ac ceptable to the citizens. Why is Mclntosh so lukc warm upon the subject of her representatives ? The day of election is not far distant, and it behooves us to be up and doing. Shall this county be repre sented, or shall we permit those who have no kindred feeling for her interests advocate her cause ? Last week we mentioned that Gov. Gil mer was dangerously ill. The last ac counts from Milledgeville we are happy to say, state that he has so far recovered as to be out of danger. THir MCINTOSH SI HR-.A *** FOURTH OF JULY ! -Sills CELEBRATION OF TEE FOURTH The Six t^- Third anniversary of our national in dependence was celebrated by the cili/.cnsof Darien, in a most laudable manner. At 10 o’clock the citi zens repaired to the Presbyterian Church, where an eloquent discourse was deliver and before the Tem perance Society of Mclntosh County, by Mr. Hay wood. The address reflects honor on the head and heart of i s author. At I*2 M the eiii/. ns generally met at the Mansion House, and formed a procession and proceed and again to the Presbyterian Church, 1 where the. D duration of Independence was read, in a correct and impressive manner, by D- . E. Tl. Bono, and an excellent oration delivered by Col 0!. 11. Hopkins. It was listened to with profound atten tion by a very large, respectable, and intelligent au dience, and occupied about 35 minuses in the delivery. We. will not attempt to give even the substance, (so far as recollection would serve us,) of the oration, ! lest we might do injustice to th effort. The choice of topics embraced were very judicious, and ns a lit erary production it has undoubtedly great merit. We have no hesitation is saying that it would gra tify those who heard it, and the public iu general, to see it in ptint. We hope Col. Hopkins will yield to the solicitations of his friends and permit it to ap pear in our next. After the oration, n large party of gentlemen re paired to the Mansion House, where an elegant and plentiful repast was prepared by the worthy proprie tor. H. S. Hell, was appointed President, and Maj. j O. 11. Pelot, Vice President. The cloth being re-| moved, the following sentiments were drunk, inter spcrsrd with appropriate songs, and the firing of cannon. TOASTS: The Day ire celebrate.

Ouryoung i slor took no h. ed however, and at his next of fence was put ill the cask, whidi was headed I up, leaving a large bung hole for the admission lof air. That night the ship encountered a vio- ! ; lent storm and in a sudden lurch the cask con- ‘ . tabling the hoy rolled over into the sea. The circumstance was not noticed by those on board.—Fortunately, the cask struck bung up, and floated about thirty hours, when it was throw upon the beach at (’ape St. Bias. Here | the boy made desperate efforts to extract him self from his prison without success and in despair gave up to die. Some cows however strolling on the Bear'll, were attracted to the I cask,and in walking around it, one ofthe mini- ! her, it bring fly time, switched her tail into the I bung hole, which the lad grasped with a des perate resolution. The cow bellowed and set off for life, and after running some two hundred yards with the cask, struck it against a log on j the beach, knocked it as we say, into a cock’d I hat. _ The boy thus providentially released, was discovered by some fishermen on the l’oint and taken into Apalachicola, where a small collection being made for him, he was enable to preceded North by the way of Col umbus.
