I returned, from the treaty on Friday c
vening lali, after Ipanding two weeks to no
purpofc,—-The Indians offered to make
Duck river the line from the month up about
four miles above the old or present line,
thence a parallel line with the present one,
or the road leading to Blackburn's taking
in a bout tour miles c.iftwardly of the pre
sent line; thence with the present line as
us high up as to be oppofitc the head of Cove
creek, in the Walnut Cove, thence a (bought
line across so as to interfeX Butler's line,
giving all above adjoining Kentucky, with
ibe lour mile flip, and from the Duck river
ridge to the river,-'..The cormniffioncrs rc
lufcd to acccept it, or any less than the
boundary line of the fate.
At our lirlt meeting the profpeX appeared
flattering, and wc had great rcafnn t® be

A Machine has lately been laid in the Secre
tary ofState’s Office, by a Mr. John M r -
Hride, ofSouth-Carolina,butlatefromTen
tleflec, and a patent taken out for securing
the profits thereof to the ingenious inventor.
This machine which is called the Columli
an Sp infer, is so contrived as to gin, card,
and spin, at the fame time, it is operated on
by one person who is perfeftly adequate to
the whole diraftion of it. This model spins
twelve threads, and machines may be so en
larged as to spin any greater number. The
machine requires no other attendance, than
the person who feeds it with the feed cotton,
who also turnsthe wheel by which the op
erations are carried on. It might be ad- ,
varitageoufly worked by water. The own
er of the present rilodel finished one of 1 q
threads (which he left in Tcnneflce) that by 1
great exertions extended each thread 7 yards
in a minute. Many ladies and gentlemen of r
Wafimigton and Georgetown have seen this ,
modeb and expressed the highest fatisfaftion
at it. f
We wifli our ingenious countryman success
in his invention, and we fmcerely hope he
may be rewarded in the sale of hls-machines.
No doubt a difeerning public will fee their
utility and avail them of the use of so valu
able an article.

Wc have received Dutch papers to the
30th ult. A land armed Neutrality, as for
merly there was a maritime one, is bow
talked of in the journals published under
French influence on the continent. The
mention of such circumstance is no proof that
any thing has been adually done. It Ihcws
however, what the cabinet of St. Cloud
aims at. Any thing in the (hape of propo
sal, negociation, arrangement, or by what
ever name it may be called, gives time to
Bonaparte to ripen new plans. When ripen
ed, he executes them without consulting ci
ther friend or foe. By every negociation,
therefore, (he is a gainer,
Mr. Luffac, in his late i£roftatia Voy
age, when at the height of 21,487 feet, fil
led a glass vdTel with the air of that eleva
tion, and another 300 feet higher ; and on
his return to Paris, this air was carefully
analysed, and prove to be identically the
fame with the air obtained in the court.yard
of the Polytechnic .School. The experi
ments of MdTrs. Cgvandilh, Macartjr, Ber

phere-is the fame over all the fuifacl of the
earth; and M. Luflac, supported by the
experiments of Melfrs. Sauflurc on the Col
du Gcanc, and on the summit Mont Blanc,
has now proved, that the Atmosphere is the

ascend as on the furface of the earth.

~ > in the Superior Court.
Columbia county. J
August term, 1805.
'The Grand 'Jury returned into court avitb
the followingprefentmenti c vi%.
1 ft. We the Grand Jury, for the body
of the County of Columbia, do present as a
G*ei v.mce of the firft magnitude and deserves
most the attention of/.e citizens thereof,
that of the present state of the reads leading
to market through the different parrs of our
County, the cause of which, in cur opinions,
is, or mull be aferibed in part to the neglefl
of the Honorable the Inferior Court of this
county, in not making the necessary appoint
ments agreeable to law, of overseers, and
dividing or apportioning the hands to work,
thereon ; and whereas, it also appears, that
a number of appointments when made, the
persons so appointed have not been regular
ly notified thereof. And it also further ap
pears, that a number of persons being so ap
pointed and notified have ncgleftcd their
duty. We pronounce it as a grievance that
men when considered as officers of the coun
ty, and in which the community are so in
tersfted, fbould negjcfit fheir duty and not
,be brought to puniftmehr,
id. We present as a grievance the bad
state of the Bridges over the big Kioka and
Uchee Creeks on the road, leading from
Wrightfborough to Augusta.
3d. We present as a grievance the state
of the buildings in the county, particularly
the Court-House, as the fame is not fit for
the reception of a court, and mull in a short
time, from appearance, become incapable of
defending any person from the weather; And
as the Inferior Court has heretofore paid no
attention to the recommendations of former
Grand Juries, We feel it our duty under the
present circamftances to recomend that the
Legislature at their next celfion, do appoint
Anderson Crawford, Gazarway Davis, Levi
Marfirall, William Lowe, and Benjamin
Leigh, commiflioners of the Courf-Houfc and
Jail of the County, and completely invert
them with all the funds for the purposes a
forefaid; and to authorize the said com
miflioners to levy a tax not exceeding one
half of the general tax of the County for
two years, for the purpose of building a new
Court-House and we do moll fincercly re
commend the representatives of the county
ta yfcjheir utmost endeavors to carry this
eur recommendation intoeffeft.
4th. We would further observe, that the
docket of the Superior Court, being focrou
dedwith suits of long Handing, and whereas
the time allowed for holding court is only
one week, by which it renders it impossible
to go through the docket, we therefore re
commend to the Legillaturc that the Superi
or Courts for the county of Columbia, do
commence on the third Monday in February
and August, and continue two weeks.
sth. We present John Ramsey for retail
ing spirituous liquors without licence, charge
to be supported by John Coldwcll and Ar
chibald Powejl,
6th. We present Walter Dent and Thad
cus Bell for retailing fpiritous liquors with
out licence, charge supported by Jesse Bull
and DinwiddieHarrifont
71b. We present Mark P. Davis for re
tailing fpirituoas liquors without licence.
Supported as above,
Bth. Wc present Sampfqp S» Steel for re
tailing spirituous liquors without licence.
Supported as above.
9th. Wc profent it as a grievance, that
the Justices of the Inferior Court, have it in
their power to appoint the members of their
own body, as Administrators and Guardi
ans of orphans. Those appointments we
deem highly improper.
We feel deeply impressed with the conduft
of his honor the Judge, for his due attention
to the bufmefs ©f the County, and hope he
will accept our thanks for the fame And
do recommend that these our presentments
be published in one of the Gazettes of Au
