Two Hundred Dollars’ reward.
ABSENTED from the plantation of James Moore,
(one of the undersigned) on the 23d of December
lust, a Negro Wench, named CEI.IA* and on the 11th
January following, a negro man, named JACK, both
belonging to the estate of Mrs. Marti a Powell, deceas
ed. Fifty dollar’s reward will be given for the appre
hension of each or either of said negroes on delivery to
one of the subscribers and all reasonable expenses paid.
As it is believed said negroes have been inveigled or
stolen from the premises aforesaid, the further sum of
one hundred dollars will be paid for proof to convic
tion of the off ender.
Celia is about thirty-five years of age, African born,
speaks rather bad English, and in a very peculiar man
ner; but is otherwise smart and shrewd. On being
spoken to, she has the singular habit of throwing up
her head with a disdainful air. IACK, her husband,
between forty and forty-five years of age, about five
feet eight inches high, steady and sedate in his man
ners, one upper tooth lost, and some country marks.—
Both of said negroes, it is believed, are branded on the
breast with the letter M.

times calls himself Peter) and Amv his wife. Mingo or
Peter is about 27 years of age, 6 feet high, heavy built,
of a dark complexion, with two of his front teeth out,
and has stout whiskers, with a very fierce expression of
the eyes. Amy, about the same age, 5 feet 5 or 6 inches
high, of a dark complexion, slender built, with a leai
face. • They took with them a considerable quantity of
clothes. As said negroes have made several attemits
to get to get to Florida, it is probable this may now.ie
their intention. A liberal reward, with all reasonable
expenses, will be paid to any person who will app-e
----hend and deliver to the subscriber, cr lodge in any :afe
gaol in this state, the said negroes, or either of therrj

DARIEN, (GA.J MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1819.
To the Printers of the United States,
(1 ENTLEMEN—In presenting a list of new prices
lof types, some explanatory remarks may be useful.
The former prices were fixed during a period in
which the raw materials were dear, and not easily
to be procured, and it is presumed that they bad
some claim to be considered moderate, as in 1812.
Type were more than three per cent lower in Philadel
phia than in London; and no advance wasmade on those
prices, during the late war, although existing circum
stances would have justified the measure. It was con
sidered that an advance would be an actual loss to the
printers, as tiie competition in the printing business
bail, before that period, arrived at such a point, that the
public were supplied with printing, at nearly the mini
mum; and also, that it was probable the prices ot types
would continue some time after the return of peace, and
recompense for any advantage that was given up. This
has taken place.
For some time past, types have been lowered in val
ue, but not in price. They have been sold on long and
frequently uncertain credit, which produces, to the sel
ler all the effects of reduction of price whilst to the prin
ter who pa}sit is of comparatively little benefit. All
the advantage is in favor of tlpse who promise, but do
not perform, as in truth they get types for nothing, and
the solvent printers pay for them. Another objection
to this mode of reducing price is, that it absorbs the
seller’s funds, and, no matter how industrious or frugal
he may be, subjects him to all the inconveniences of
poverty.
Men who possess talents, economy, industry and hon
or, will sometimes lack monev. The characters who
have just claims to those attributes, will rarely be at a
loss for friends, and will enter on business with a more
favorable prospect of success, when assisted by a mod
erate, than by an extended credit, which is equally with
in the rcacli of a rival, who, with an ardent disposition
for speculation and adventure, may have but doubtful
claims to reputation for prudence.
In order to leave no ground for complaint, it is to be
understood that all purchasers, since the first of April,
who comply with the new terms, will be entitled to ben
efit by the new prices. x
Presuming on the long intimacy which has subsisted
betweeri you, gentlemen, and this establishment, 1 re
quest you will give this an insertion in your papers,
Your’s respectfully,
JAMES RONALDSON.

NILES’ WEEKLY REGISTER

a history of men and things, and the most extensive book
of reference ever published in any country —useful as
to the past, and agreeable and interesting for the present
and future.
Its politics are of the old republican school—hut strik
ing only at first principles, men a,e not regarded. The
chief purpose of all its original articles, which are nu
merous, is to raise up a national character, encourage
home industry and support other great interests of the
people. These objects are fearlessly pursued.
