BOARD OF HEALTH.
Savannah, June 8,1825.
Scion's Report for the week ending 1th inet.
No Deaths.
By order of the Chairman,
I. K. TF.FFT, Secretary.
*
IT No mail tvas received yesterday north
of Charleston.
Our city at the present time, is blessed
with an extraordinary degree of health. It
will be perceived that no death is reported
fur the past week, and notwithstanding the
great heat of the weather for a time past,
we understand not a single cuse of lever
was reportc I by either of the Ward Com
mittees of the Board of Health yesterday.
Superior Court.—-Thomas Franklin
Hall, whs yesterday found guilty on the
first indictment pre ented agninst him, for
robbing Williams’s Store, which we dot il-
ed at the time it was committed, last win
ter. Three other indictments remain to
be tried against him. His colleague, Ells
worth, we understand will be arraigned
this day.
The Creeks.—Major Andrews, who has
arrived at Milledgcvillc, from Washington,
charged by the President, with investiga
ting the late affairs in the Creek Nation,
and the Agency of Crowell in them, we
understand has called a meeting of the
Creek Indians, to be held on the 14th inst.
The Philadelphia papers have made them
selves exceeding merry with the exaltation
of a person named Pluck, a hostler in an
inn, to the command of a regiment of mili
tia, and their jests and jibes have tilled ma
ny columns. Thi« lias been carried, in our
opinion, too far—if the Colonel is the char
acter they represent him, ribaldry is not
likely to drive him from the office, or to
benefit the public—if lie is capable of sus
taining it, thpy should recollect that espe
cially in our country
“ Honor and shame from no condition rise
and they should recollect, too, that in thus
holding up the militia of the country to
scorn, they are weakening an arm of the
nation which must, after all, be a principal
dependence in the hour of danger. Let
them rather try to give it character, and
emulation.
The New-York Albion in noticing the
wreck of the Spring Grove, on the Coast of
Africa, refers to Padduck’s Narratft which
we quoted a few days since for #ie same
purpose, to refute the supposition that the
United States sloop of war W asp. muy have
been the vessel spoken of by the Arabs, us
wrecked on the coast of Africa. We men
tion this to say that our article was written
and published before the receipt of the
Albion.

Letters from Havana, mention an on-
gagement between the Spanish brig of war
Hercules, and tho Colombian brig General
Soubletto, off Point Jucos—after a few
broadsides both sheared off.
The Edenton, N. C. Gazette, of tho 27th
ult. says that the bodies of four Men wore
picked up on the north and south side of
Currituck Inlet, all of them with their heads
and hands cut off. They are supposed to
have been part of the crew of a vessel in a
state of mutiny.
Steam has been applied in England to
the purpose of raising pine apples—the
steam was introduced under tho roots of the

Songs of the Olden Time.—A Profes
sor of the University of Clmpel Hill, in N.
Carolina, has undertaken to rescue from
oblivion those songs which may yet remain
of the many which were composed and
sung by the American Yeomanry during
the Revolutionary war. The original songs
and ballads of a people, afford a sure index
to judge of the feelings of the moss, at the
time they were written—and are frequent
ly a record of passing events which may be
valuable to the historian. Among these a
part of which are recollected, and which
the compiler is desirous to obtain, is one ill
the form ofp Dialogue between an officer
and a soldier, to the tune of the “ Banks of
the Dee.” The following is given as a spe
citneu of it.
SOLDIER.
It was in the summer, no breezes were
blowing
When we were encamp’d near the Swamps
of Santee;
The gnais and mosquitoes around us did
hover,
The frogs in each pond they sang merrily,
The toriea they in the swamps were a lying.
Beef and rice in the kettles on the tires
ontly largo was made, and Mr*. Bbormun
was once ugu'm folded in the arms ot her
husband and restored to the world. 1 *
Caution.—An ingenious mode of swind
ling has lately bf*dn discovered, in making
seven bank bills out of six. The authors of
tho invention nut the notes in two, in differ
ent places, and unite each bill again by pas*
ting it on a part of a leaf taken from the Bi
ble. At least all that have yet been seen
are done in this way. By this process it will
be perceived that the bills so cut will be
shorter than the bills not defaced. Five of
tho notes will be deficient in different parts
ofthe body, and two will have a piucc cut
off from the ends of e*ch, which go to make
up the othor five notes. A j^IO note of this
description was offered to one of tho Banks
this morning, and they refused to receive it;
and such, we understand, has been the de
termination of all the Batiks in this city,
where their notes have been thus dealt
with.— 2?t% Post.

Circuit Court of the U S.—Samuel A.
Wells vs. B irtlctt Holmes.—This was an ac
tion for the invasion of the Plaintiff’s right
to a patented machine culled a Lever Truss
and Sling, being an improvement in the
mode of suspending, topping, and bracing
the lower yards ot ships or vessels. The
plaintiffproduced his patent and model, and
a model exhibiting the mode in use before
his improvement, and u model also of tin*
machine used by the defendant on the brig
Massasoit. There was some difference in
form, bu the question was whether, there
was any difference of principle between the
two machines. Witnesses were examined
who testified that the two machines were
upon the same principle, that the different
modes of suspending the yard, the one be
ing by a chain from the vessel’s top, the
oih r upon a crane to the mast, did not
change the principle or character of the
in iciiinc. That the movement and effect*'
wore the same in both modes. Thewitnes
ses further testified to the utility ofthe ma
chines, and to their getting into general
UFO.
The Jury, under the direction of the
Court, being of opinion that the machines
were subs!antially the Fame, and therefore
that the plaintiff’s patent right had been in
vaded, gave him a verdict of $175.
Note—The Potent Law:: provide that
the penaltiies shall be treble t'je amount of
damages given by the Jury ; the above ver
dict is ih rerbre equivalent to $525.—Bos

TO THE EDITORS OF THE GEORGIAN.
A disease of an epidemic character, has
prevailed with considerable violence among
the negroes upon the rice plantations of Mr.
John Potter and John P. Williamson,
Esq. u few miles aboye this city, for some
time. We are gratified to understand, how
ever, that it has within a week or two past,
assumed a more ,mild appearance. It is
said there has been on the plantation of
Mr. Potter, from one hundred and fifty to
two hundred blacks down at one time with
this disease. Mr.* Potter’s loss has not
exceeded twenty-five negroes, and the most
of them were between the ages of forty and
seventy-five years; Mr. Williamson’s loss
we are informed, is not beyond fifteen—the
«ges we have not been able to ascertain.—
\Vo are credibly informed, that the disease
is of local origin, as the negroes living on
tho adjoining plantations have not in the
slightest degree been affected with it.—
Much credit is due to the medical gentle
man, for their indefatigable exertion and
skill in the management nnd care of those
cases that have been confided to them.

ORIGINAL POETRY.
TO
Ah! weep not fur thy beauty’s blight,
Nor mourn for its departed rays—»
For tho’ its radiant, beaming ligiit,
Hath vanished with thy blooming days ;
Yet still, tho’ youthful beauty’s fled,
A dearer charm is left to thee—
Whose lovely beam o’er thee is shed,
Like beacon on a stormy sea.
For beauty’s power must yield to time,
And bow beneath affliction’s gloom—
And joy will seek a sweeter clime,
And riot in a fairer bloom;
But love shall lend its darling ray,
Tho’ days, and months and years may roll,
Ami time which takes thy charms awuy,
Shall make thee dearer to my soul.

•.moved as she was by the wuter, she scram
bled. It was afterwards ascertained that
this was the Captain’s birth, and fortunate
ly it was a few inches higher than any other
in the ship.
In this birth Mrs. Eberman sat with her
head against the deck, and up to her neck
in wafer. All was silent and dark; her
sensations were most pniitful and confused ;
she supposed the vessel had sunk to the bot
tom of the bay. In this horrible situation,
buried alive, she grasped an orange, which
was floating in the cabin ; she ate it ond it
greatly refreshed her. She now heard a
noise over her head and with a cane which
she had caught in the water, she struck

Baltimore Jtlay 30.—Cotton.—The stock
in our market in first hands is very trifling,
and our manufacturers are said not to be
largely supplied. The unprecedented spec

productive ol an advance so sudden and un
expected, that but lew had the good tur-
tune to be prepared with a stock beyond
their ordinary supply and must consequent

present high rntes, or suspend -r curtail
their operations—many causes have been
sought for to justify the extravagance of
speculation ;but the diminution of supply,
aided by the uncommon abundance of mo
ney, are chiefly relied upon—we think these
causes will not sustaiu the article at what
appears ’o us more than double its natural
