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.

HARDY P HUMPHREY. Ctj’TliQ editors of the Darien Gazette are requested to give the above two publications, and forward their account to the Journal office for payment, .Milledgeville, September 7 e 18 DARIEN,,(GA.J MONDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1819. ‘Co the Printers of the United State.#, (IF.NTLF.MEN —In presenting a list of new prices y°l 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 hail some claim to be considered, moderate, as in 1812. l ype were more than three per cent lower in Philadel phia than in London; and no advance was made on those prices, durirfg the late War, although existing circum stances woidd have justified the measure. It was con sidered that an advance would he an actual loss to the printers, as the competition in the printing business had, 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 of types ” ould 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 qf price whilst to the prin ter who pays it is of comparatively little benefit. All the advantage is in favor of those 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 money. 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 )s equally w’itli in the reach of a rival, who, with an ardent disposition for speculation and adventure, may have but doubtful claims to reputation for prudence. In older to leave no ground for complaint, it is to be understood that all purchasers, since the first of April, w ho comply with the new terms, will be entitled to ben efit by the new prices. Presuming on the long intimacy which has subsisted between you, gentlemen, and this establishment; I re quest you will give this an insertion in your papers. Your’s respectfully, JAMES RONALDSON.

Nu.ks’ Register has been published at Baltimore since September, 1811, and perhaps, no publication is sues from the American press that is more generally read. It is received in every state and territory of the union, taken and preserved in all the great departments of the general government, and complete sets of the work are furnished to all the foreign ministers of the I luted States. It is oftentimes quoted in our courts of law, and to be found in many public libraries A num her of eppies arc regularly transmitted to Europe, South-America and the West-Indies. The public documents contained in this work would cost, if purchased separately, more than twice the a mount that is demanded for it per annum; but so much other matter is got into it tiiat the documents, perhaps, do not generally occupy a third part of a volume. It is 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 arc of the old republican school—but strik ing only at first principles, men are 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. 1 he Register has received the most flattering sanction of a large number of the principal characters in the United States, and a volume of approbatory letters, from high and honorable men, might be published if it were necessary. TERMS, &.c. Niles’ Register is published at Haltimore every Satur day, and immediately transmitted, being 1 securely pack ed, to any post-office in the union; or, if preferred, it wiil be delivered in volumes. The price is five dollars a year, payable always in ad vance. Numbers lost or damaged in the mail (which does not often happen) are gratuitously supplied, the application therefor being made without expense to the editor, that gentlemen n.ay preserve their files complete. The volumes commence in March and September in every year -being two volumes in a year; each of which is furnished with a title page and index.

Files are said only for cash. Subscribers may begin at what period they please, but it is recommended, (so that they may have a complete work while they receive it,) that they shoxxldcommence with a volume.
