P ld II. WARD. haw village.—*• On the 28tii we reached Jimmv town, a part ol the old Cliehaw village ; and here we were informed ol one ol tlie most infamous outrages that ever disgraced the human form. It w ould even give a darker shade to the blackest deeds of an Algerine pirate. On our near ap proach to the village, we saw a party of mounted warriors retiring very last into tlie swamp, and sent on our pilot a head to inform them w e were friends, aim would not injure them. lie did nut succeed in overtaking them, but found another party at tlie landing who had come in fur provi- a P-.|sioii8. When we approached they appeared friendly, but very much alarmed. \Ve enquired lor provisions, having none among us, and were told that they had none. They informed us that their town had been attacked and destroyed ; that their warriors were lying out, and that they ha I only come in to get something to eat. We were struck with astonishment at the fact; but could get no information of the cause, or the authors ol this base transaction. All we could learn was, that a party ol mounted men had entered their town with a white flag and fired oil them, while the hand ol friendship was extended to them ; that they had killed old Howard with six other men, and three females, an old woman,a girl and a child ; that they had burnt all theirbouses, plun- ot j tiered every thing they could lay their hands on, and made a precipitate retreat. Of the cause | they were as ignorant as we were. They expres sed no sentiment of hostility, but relied oh the justice ot our government for reparation, anil seemed to think that it would be amicably settled, and here 1 hope government w : If not disappoint them. \N e informed them w e were confident government could not have authorised tlie mea sure, and that the commanding general was en tirely unapprised of it ; that General Glascock at the head of the Georgia militia, was in their neighborhood and would afford them protection ; and that they might with safety call in their war-- riors, old men, women and children, which they did. On our arrival at Fort Early we were in formed of the facts. A Mr. Wright who was elected in Savannah to command a company of militia from that place, which afterwards in con sequence of liis being sick & unable to command, elected the. 1st lieut.to command the company,who was regularly mustered into service as tlie' cap. tain of (lint company, and is now in command of the company in the U. S. service—lie (’Yi'i'diV in the west part of the city. 1 lie flames had so far progressed before assistance could be rendered, and the w ind being high, the stables, together with the out- builuings, and Mi. Remsliart's dwelling, (a two story house) Ik two other dwelling houses were consumed in a short time. At one time we tlio’t the whole ol the south east part of the town would have been destroyed : but owing to the persever ance ami activity of our citizens the flames were arrested. Mr. Adam Cope’s house, (the only one saved on the block) escaped the devouring flames —twice, aye three times, was it on fire, and vet was rescued : although the out buildings belong ing to the dwelling were consumed, and the flames not more than tw enty feet off. Had Mr. Cope's house been burnt, find only knows where the fire would have ended ;—we should in all probability, have witnessed such a scene as was exhibited in the year ’96. But what is still more distressing, eight or ton horses that w ere in tlie stables, per ished in the flames.—It was really affecting to ev ery observer, who was not dead to the noblest sympathies of the soul, to witness the shocking sight. While on this subject, we would remind our citizens of one thing—Mr. Kemshart lias by this disaster, in the space of tw o hours, lost his all—he is one among our best citizens—has resid ed among us a long time—is now poor and infirm —we would then suggest, that a subscription, forthwith, be opened for Ids relief; and we have tun high an opinion of our citizens, to even sup pose that they will withhold the band of aid in this instance. We have not been able to ascer tain bow the fire originated—various opinions are afloat on tliesubject.—Savannah Hep A magnificent and superb Cenotaph, with suit able inscriptions, is to be erected in London, by public subscription, to perpetuate the memory of the andable and lamented princess Charlotte.— It is to be composed of a temple of the purest order of architecture, containing a statue of tlie princess in Parisian marble, surrounded bv a monumental gruupe. With aview of rendering tlie subscription to this public expression of a na tion’s sorrow as general and as diffusive as possi ble, no sum above a guinea was to have been re ceived from any one single individual—while the smallest amount, as a tribute of respect to the re collection of those illustrious virtues which it was the object to eternize, would be cheerful!v accepted.—Chcrlc.Jpn Tiuiyy begins to fold up on the eddy or that side of the wheel returning against the current, and is car ried easily over and inclined plain, by means uf a small wheel or roller, fixed in the lower e-ige of the float, and pass off the float so soon as ir i ;<u he acted on by the current. The inclined plain can be dispensed within tidewater: tlie ehb and flood acting alternately on the different sides of the wheel, and without changing or alterin'* its motion. The wheel is suspended bv two swords, indented on one side and passing through blocks on the arms of the cog-wheel ami retained by- catches and is raised or lowered by levers to suit the different stages of the water, or to increase or diminish its operative power. The inclined plain rises and falls with the water. The current in the pai l of the river on which the above wheel is erected, is far from beingbrisk ; yet the wiiceL performs one and a half revolutions in a minute* driving a stone of four feet diameter with great power and with a velocity of one hundred and. twenty revolutions in the minute. The proprietor will have in full operation tii a ensuing summer, two pair of stones and a saw, r ,11 attached to and driven by the same water wl.e ,.|. The great and important advantage arising fi 0 io this invention, is the substituting the com i.on current of rivers, for the usual quantity of t -ii,. r acting under a head, or falling under "an b and without a dam or any other obstruct oof to the current in rivers than a small triangula r wharf extending from the bank above, to half th e diam eter of the wheel, to protect it against dri ft-wood, ice, ike. There are few rivers that do not affix,xl a situa tion every mile or two for the erection, of a w heel on the above construction, and thereb y affordin'*, to farmers living on such water courses a facility of manufacturing their own grain, saw ing up anil rendering profitable, timber that otherwise would prove un unprofitable incumbrance on their ground ; and in short is well calculated to pro pel all the various kinds of machinery, whether on a large or small scale, by increasim* or dimin ishing the size of the wheel. The premium for using the above described wheel, if obtained of the proprietor, will be two hundred dollars ; but if an agent, some what higher. To a priviledged. right will be attached a schedule, containingafullaiid accurate descrip tion ol all the parts, sizes, &c. composing the wheel, so as to render it intelligible and easily comprehended by the most ordinary capacity, it being extremely simple, when seen or under- Still) WILLIAM PURNELL.
