The Crops—By a geutlemau from Li
berty County, we are informed that, as far
as came under his observation, the Cotton

jured by the N. E. gate of Friday last, the
rain which was very heavy, having cut and
protracted the plants. It ja to be feared

very severe there; which strengthens this
opinion. The Corn has also suffered from

In an account of the loss of the Spring
Grove, a Whaling Ship, which was wreck-
ad on the coast ofAfriva, on the 33d of Nov.
last, part of the crow of which were deliver
ed from captivity among tho Arabs by that
Ornament of humanity, Mr. Willsiiiiie,
the British Consul at Megadorc, tho follow
ing paragraph occurs:—
“A circumstance is stated by one of these
rescued men, which is as follows:—He says
that the Arab Chief in whose hands they
fell, could speak a little English ; and con
trived to inform them, that, some years ago,
on English ship wot loti on the African
Coast, that the crew reached the shore to
the numier of three hundred men, well arm
ed ; that hie own Tribe, consisting of five
hundred men, attacked them, and were ro-
pu sed; that he solicited the assistance of a
neighboring tribe to renew the attack, with
■niadditional force of four or five hundred
men ; that the British drove them back a
Second time, and were making good their
retreat for some settlement of security,
when they were s third time surrounded by
a body of thirteen hundred; and that the
British fought till Ihree-fuurths of thir num
ber fell, and the remainder were cut to pie
ces, alter laying down their arms, and after
killing 250 Arabs. The name of the thip,
and the time of the thipvireck, are both un
known.”
The National Intelligencer, considers it
highly probable, from several circumstan
ces, that the vessel here alluded to, was the
United States sloop of war Wasp, Captain
Blakely, which has never been heard of
since September, 1814. The last heard of
the Wasp, was on the 23d of that month,
when 6he was left off the Madeira Islands,
having up to that time captured a British
sloop of war and auuk another, in a night
fight.
“Taking this fact,” eays tho National
Intelligencer, “ with the uncertain time of
“several years ago,’’ and not having heard
of any British ship then lost in that direc
tion, we sec strong reason to believe that
this ship, thus accidentally heard of, was
the long lamented U. States ship Wasp.”
Tho term “ tome years ago,” in the sc.
count of the wreck of the English Frigato,
is so indefinite as to leave much latitude
for oonjecture. It may mean ten, twenty
or thirty. There iB, however, an account
in Paddock’s Narrative, appended to the
Narrative of Capt. Riley, of the wreck of
a British Frigate and the destruction of
the crew, which, allowing for the uncer
tainty of time, agrees in so many circum
stances with the above, as to induce us to
believe they are the same, and of course
that the vessel alluded to, could not have
been the Wasp. Captain Paddock was
wrecked on the coast of Africa, in 1800,-
and soon after diBcovorcd a number of huts,
near which were a number of brandy casks
filled with human bones and hair, and at a
short distance, a heap of bones of the same
kind. Ho was eoon after taken by the
Arabs, and became the slave of Aliamad,
who gave the following relation which com
pared with tho extract above, will be found
the samo in ail essential particulars. Tho
oxact time of the transaction in this is e-
quaily indefinite with the other statement.
“ Once,” said Aliamad, “ there camo a-
•hore a very large ship. It being seine
time before the crew were discovereri,
they had landed all their property, and
had covered themselves with their sails
When they were discovered, a small tribe
went down to take them in their posses
sion, but they fired at our men, and some
of thorn they killed. Exasperated by being
fired at by such dogs, they fell upon them
furiously, and many were killed on both
sides. Our men finding the enemy so
/strong, fell back, and sending up for help,
another tribe wont down. They now en-
' deavored to show to the enemy by signs,
that to themselves belonged the property,
and they must give it up. But not being
able to come to an understanding with
these men, by signs, so as to obtain what
they had with them in that way, they drew
•up towards them in order to take it try
them to lay down their arms, upon
their camp seemed all in confusion. At
the moment we were prepared to attack
them they formed themselves in a close
body, and begun to march off eastward.
We formed ourselves in throe divisions, ac
cording to our tribes, and the chief of each
tribe led on his own men. My tribe, to
gether with one of tho other two, got in
their front, and the remaining tribe was on
their side. We all begun our attack at
omic, and, after fighting a long time, we
had killed half of these dogs, and then the
remnant left alive laid down their arms.
We now all dropped our guns, and fell upon
them with our long knives, and every one
of them we killed; and their whole number
w< found to be upwards of five hundred.
“After we had gone through witli slaught
ering them, we stripped them all, and left
their bodies lying on the ground, and went
back to the ship, and found that they had
landed great quantities of goods. In the
ship we found guns, iron, sails, powder, and
many o’her things valuable to us; they
had in the ship large guns, such as they
have, you know, upon they walls of Su-ea-
rah When wo had collected all these
things together, and burnt the ship, we sent
for our camels, and carried them home, and
sold them about the country. We got a
great deal of booty, but we lost more than
a hundred of men killed in battle.”—Thus
ended the story of Aliamed, which lie rela
ted throughout in a seemingly natural
manner, and with so much particularity,
that he described the coats of tho officers,
and even their buttons.”
It will be recollected by many that about
the conclusion of the war, a frigate put into
Lisbon, much damaged, and reported hav
ing during the night fallen in with an A-
merican sloop of war, which after an en
gagement probably sunk, as nothing wi s
seen of her in the morning, by the frigate,
which had hauled off from the contest. That
this sloop of war was the Wasp is the most
probable in the conjectures as to the fate
of that unfortunate vessel.
Rail Roads.—Much has been written in
Great Britain within a short period past, on
the advantages and superior economy of
rail roads ovor canals. This opinion though
apparently the most popular, has nut beon
without opponents. Among these a Mr.
Wightman, who has lately published in
London a pamphlet on Rail Roads, states,
that a complete delusion prevails as to the
rate at which it would be possible to tra
vel these roads. He contends that a velo
city cannot be attained by their means
equal to half that with which our best stage
coaches now travel; and that the money
which it is proposed to expend on them,
will in most cases, be thrown away.
A patent had been granted by tbo Aus
trian government to a Mr. Karl Krauterer,
for a new invented machine, of which the
following account is given in a Vienna pa-
paper : “A carriage with a moving straight,
and endless iron rail way, fur the convey
ance as well of burdens, however heavy, as
of travellers, with very little friction and
working, as easily,quickly and without noise,
as with carriages on fixed iron rail roads,
without any greater expenso of propelling
power, up and down hill, and in any option
al lateral direction, over paved or unpaved
roads, whether passing over meadow, clay,
or sandy ground ; lastly, without causing
dust or dirt in tho roads, and without in
juring them.”
A Company called the Canada Ship-
Building Company is organizing in London,
with a capital ol £150,000 fertile purpose
of building vessels in the River St. Law
rence (for sale) of selected materials, and
to be fastened and finished in a superior
manner to those usually built in that coun
try. It is intended that one third of the
capital be reserved for persons residing in
Canada.
in this quarter a preference over all others.
The public lanas offered for sale wore ad
joining those of Lafayette, and around-the
Scat of Government, but they sold lb# jn
consequence of a singular instruction from
the Treasuary Department, directing the
Receiver of Public Monica for the District,
to take in payment the notes of certain
banks, including those of Louisiana and
Alabama, and excluding the notes of specie
paying Banks in South-Carolina and Geor
gia ! By this kind of management, per
sons who attended tho saloa with Georgia
and South-Carolina notes wore txcluded
from purchasing, which lessened the com
petition, and caused the lands to sill, gen-
erslly at the minimum price of a ddlar and
a quarter an acre. Can Mr. Soutiard, the
acting Secretary of tho Treasury, be igno
rant of what every body else kniws, that
the Banks of this State, with a sliglc ex
ception, and those of Soutli-Carolha, with
out exception, pay specie for theiriiotes ?—
That the Bank notes excluded bj his di
rection, are taken in the Branchts of the
U. S. Bank at Charleston and Sivanunh,
and are quite ns good if not better than the
notes of the Alabama and Louisiana Banks?
If ho knows this, and in his situation it
would be unpardonable ignorance not to
know it, what motive could have influenced
him to issue an order so prejudicia to the
public interest, and upending pa.rtiu.ly and
unjustly on the citizens of those states,
who were moBt likely to purchase Florida
lands ?
But suppose some convenience to the
Treasury may be contemplated by the re
ception of certain notes ut the Land Office,

Receiver was bound to obey his orders ;—
but at whose instance, and for whose profit
were such instructions given ?
When exceptions of bank notes,so little to
have been expected,had been determined on,
why were not the people at large informed of
it by a public notice? Tiie matter requires
explanation. That there has been a neg
lect of public doty, or eomeibing worse, is
manifest.—Our Officers of Government
should be not only honest, but free from the
suspicions of corruption.

The Plaoue—To tho Editor of the
Morning Chronicle.—Sir ; Among the va
rious novelties of the present uge there is
none more remarkable than the new opini
on recently entertained respecting the
Plague. I suppose I may be allowed to of
fer my opinion on this important subject,
which is diametrically oppusite to this new
opinion. Novelty is the order of the day,
and it muy be said, with all tho new Com
panies, “ wiiy should we not have a new
remedy for the Plague?” In Mohammedan
countries the plague is considered as a bles
sing sent occasionally by Providence to car
ry off the snperflux of population. and it is
therefore called by the Arabs, el Khere
(the good, or the blessing,) and I am appre
hensive that those who have suggested its
character as, non-contagious, will, in tho
event of the abolition of the quarantine law,
be instrumental to its intruductioh into
England at no distant period !
I hove resided in a country that was rot
ten with the plagne ; I have visited the sick
with that disease ; I never confined myself
like other Europeans ; 1 had every opportu
nity that time and circumstance ceald allow,
to observe and investigate the nature of this
disease. In the interesting extract from

TO TIIE EDITORS OF TIIE RECORDER.
Gentlemen—If I have seen with surprise
the late publication of a manifesto or talk
of the Indians, friendly to the late Gcu. M’-
Intosh, I was still more astonished to find
that this paper had boon formally laid be
fore the Legislature by Gov. Troup.
I shall not enquire how far Gov. Troup is
justifiable in interfering between the Indi
ans and the Agent, under whose chargo
they are placed—but I beg leave to say, that
I do not consider myselfin any way account
able to him or the Legislature of Georgia;
yet as an individual, I feel called on to de
fend the character, of which this very im
posing communication seems intended to
deprive me. Tiie statements contained in
that communication, as it relates to me, are
groundless ; nor do they even pretend to
rest on any authority which ought to have
weighed any thing with Gov. Troup, or
which has ever been considered valid in any
case of excitement between an Indian and
a white man. What is the authority on
which this formidable paper is published ?
The long list of names annexed, do not pre
tend to make it more than the report of
Benj. Marshall, and he nut only an Indian,
but a fugitive from his own country, who is
seeking to enlist the people of Georgia in
the quarrel of his party, for purposes of re
venge.
It is seldom that wo are fortunate enough
to have good testimony to establish the
truth in cases of this kind, and we are con
sequently much exposed to misrepresenta
tion and calumny ; but I am happily aide
in this case, to lay before the public a state
ment of truth, under each authority as to
render comment useless. I submit the ac-
conipaning certificates of Col. Wirite and
Mr. Buchannnn, and do not fear that they
will be thought equal to the authority of
Benj. Marshall.
I have also obtained the certificate of
Mr. Broadnax, who appeara to have been
the writer ot Gov. Troup’s papers. It is
also offered without comment. Although I
deny all accountability to the constituted
authorities of the State of Georgia, I feel
gratified in having it in my power to lay be
fore the people of my native state, this con
clusive refutation of defamation and slan

lie owed the nation and did not know whiit

Benj Marshall, that if he was ufraiilto go to

“ A daughter of Asa Paine, in Barre,

intention to be hostile, Josiah Gray and
Coweta Tustenmiggee, have relumed to
Fort Mitchell, and Gray paid a part ofthe
money lie borrowed from the nation, and
got indulgence from Ilapi-harjo for the bul
anno. After thisconversation I asked Capt.
Triplett if lie thought thoy would hurt Chil
ly M’Intnsh if he should return ; his answer
was, that the Indians sny that had topped
the tree which they Gad intended topping,
and if the Cuwetas attempted to get re
venge, they would cut off the branches at
their leisure ; otherwise he gave it as his o-
pinion they would remain in peace. Ho
further told Marshall, that Governor Troup
nor his Aid had nothing to do with the In
dians, and that a part ofLamar’s report was
false. Capt. Triplett stated to me, that
the Indiank admitted thatM’Intonh was ex
ecuted by order ofthe Chiefs ofthe nation.
This I believe to be the substance of all
the talk held between Capt. Triplett, and
Marshall at my honBe.

Here follows certificates from John Buch
anan, and John H. Broadaux, both to the
some effect.
It is stated in the Massachusetts papers,
that the representation from the towne to
the present General Court, is unusually
small—Boston, for instance, sends but 20,
when she is entitled to about 60—many
towns not sending any representatives
Tho reason given for this, is that each
town has to pay its representatives while
in session.

If you think these observations doserving
a place in your intelligent Journal, they are
at your service ; the amor patriae urges mo

The Cuba Project.—A well informed
correspondent, in a letter to us, written with
a view to correct erroneous reports, furnish
es some particulars in relation to the pro
ject tor invading Cuba, of a new complexion
to moBt of our readers Ho says that St.
Anna, who issued the recent proclamation
Useful Discovery.—We understand
that a gentleman residing a few miles from
this city, in Baltimore County, has invent
ed and secured a patent right, for a very
ingenious machine, to be applied to the ex
cavation of Canuls. It is calculated to be
worked by horse or Btcam powor, and pns-
sosses the capacity of not only excavating
the earth, but of depositing it on both or
either side of tiie canal, as it may be necea-
ry.
The Machine, we learn, is called a “Pro
gressive Excavator,” and is extremtly ini-
pie in the principles of its construction, and
calculated to be accommodated in point of
sizo and power, to the dimensions of the
canal in which it may be required to work.
Without passing judgment upon the pre'
sent invention, or upon the practieability of
one being made to answer the purposes for
which this is intended, we would barely re
mark, that should it be found to answer the
end proposed, that much of the canalling
may be thereby saved.
