Bcfidcc that poverty of the lad year's crop aarurally productive of resources very lncompe tent to the wants and spirit of a liberal people, fcveral concurrent causes have contributed to reduce the subscription, and among them an expensive importation of elegant Types, a measure which he conceived neoeffai y to exhibit a publication, in appearance at least , worthy of the acceptance and patronage of, a country, rapidly progrclfing in arts, wealth and science. It is naturally expected, in the numerous crowd of Grangers, almost daily collecting from all parts of the world to fettle in this Southern region, attracted by a genial clime and generous foil, chat men of mechanical and other fcientific telenet my be found, whose exertions will be courted to give fame originality to the Augusta Chronicle.

SIR, INyeur address of Saturday last you have invited, if not direXly, by strong impli cation, a correfpondeace with men accustom ed to think and probably reason on the oc currence* of the day, whether transitory or trivial or serious and permanent. From that class of beings, in every com munity who have mote leafure than bufineft, you doubtlefa, will receive in the com fe of this year, communications enough on politi cal fubjeX* to form a library at eopious at the penal popery statutes of Ireland ; but it it «xpeXed, that your judgement aud benevo. lence will fcleX, from the lucubrations of your corrtfpondcnts, a digest of politicks not only less faoguinary and iniquitous, but more diflioguilhed for genius aud philaothrophy s And yet the tranfaXions, on the frontiers of this truly fertile region, wearing at pre sent a gloomy and unpromising afpcX, im pels on our minds not unfounded appreben- ( fions of a critical and intcrefting period-—viz. Whether the fpirittd citizens , •within thepro utimi of the United States •will patiently be hold the pillage and plunder of tbtir neighbours, the tnejfatre of their defencetefs •wives and cjf fpring, or like their fathers, in obedience t 'he ir re fist ibis impulft of nature, Iravely rt / GEORGIA. I and repelling savage aggrrjjson retort and in fi -7 the form. nts cooly premiditated against t.n rjfenfivefettlers. Every man in the flat# acquainted with the recent occurrences in Franklin county will immediately difeover the origin of these re flexions. A banditti of frontier Indians flimulated by more savage refugees from all law and justice, sheltered by this unhappy people, made an incurfioo into Franklin, and having robbed and murdered fcveral of the natives retreated with precipitation. As soon as cir curnftancet could admit they were pursued by a Mr, M'Clulky and fifty-nine equally emu lous in defeoce of family and country, who, having gained the rearoffome, dividing the spoil by mutual murder and tamohawke, revenged by fuminary tetaliation, tho* unable to re-take any property. This was the firft objeX for the operation of the proceedings of Congress calculated to produce happier cffeXt than could it feema be expeXed from an Indian mind and ravage policy. No (ooner had the lavages heard th* President’s Proclamation, than they interpret ed every syllable of it as an impunity for eve ty depredation and a fanXioaing warrant to tl *Vi?e l Stai^pursuance * war rant from the Federal judge and his official duty, which be is as emulous to difebatg* ■as every obligation where siiftreft can claim, • apprehended M‘Clu/ky and brought him to the goal of Savannah, three hundred miles from bis vicinage. Here, however, he met tome friends who procured for him security to take his trial at the ensuing Federal Court, and on his return thro’ this city yesterday he furuiflied thefubferiber with the fubjeX of this narration. It is not intended to come to any fpecific conclusion in this tranfaXion, much less to descant on any narrative of fuf ferings detailed by the prisoner, which noth ing could palliate but the politnefs and huma nity of the Federal Marrtial, who, iadif efisrge of his duty, M'Clulky, emphatically (aid remember'd mercy .
