suit of a gang of Indian desperadoes, who have
been annoying and committing serious depreda
tions on several families in that neighborhood.—
These savages who were very numerous, were
overtaken by them at the above place about sun
down, and a general and destructive battle ensu

PROSPECTUS
For publishing, in the town ol Darien, h Weekly News
paper, to lie entitleil
“ THE DARIEN GAZETTE.”
Seated at the estuary of a mighty river, which,
dividing about one hundred and twenty miles
above, into two capacious streams, affords ready
conveyance for the commodities of extensive re
gions, Darien must flourish in proportion as the
agriculture of the interior shall increase. But a
few years ago, that inland country was a wilder
ness, ami Darien had scarcely the appearance of
a village; the forest having since been partially
reclaimed, it now presents the cheering aspect of
a thriving town. The obstacles to its further
growth, are such as require no very strenuous en
deavors to overcome tliein. The roads commu
nicating with the interior being almost impassable
for waggons, the farmers in general prefer a safer
though longer way to bring their staples to the
seacoast. A passage for vehicles, drawn by
horses, might be completed in a short time, with
out incurring heavy expenditure. With such a
facility, and a bar all owing easy ingress and egress
to vessels of considerable tonnage there will he
[ nothing, it is presumed, sufficiently enticing in
the old route to divert the trade with the back,
country longer from its natural channel. The
genius of tiie age, however, renders such an ex
pedient almost superfluous. Steam-boats being;
about to be employed on the Altamaha ami its
two parent streams, the Oconee and Oakmnlgee,
up country produce will, in future, reach its pro
per mart at less than one half the expense ami in
one fourth of the timejneident to land transpor
tation. These conveniences once in operation,
Darien must rapidly increase in importance, ami
yield, at no distant day, in trade and in riches, to
few seaports in the southern states.
The utility of gazettes in commercial places,
and indeed ever) where—to circulate and record
the events of the times, to facilitate the views of
the merchant as well as to instruct and amuse the
politician—is too well understood and generally
admitted, to require illustration. Darien is al
ready opulent enough, and, with the adjacent
country, contains a sufficient number of inhabit
ants to support a printing establishment on &
small scale ; and the undersigned expecting to
further their own interests, as well as to comply
with the wishes of their friends, intend to com
mence the publication of a weekly newspaper it*
that town, about the beginning of October next.
Its columns, as far as they will admit, shall
contain intelligence, political and commercial,
agricultural and statistical, miscellaneous ami
w 1 at-oever shad be conducive to the welfare of
the rising community. Its political aspect will
be of the kind usually denominated republican.
The editorial exertions shall tend to support the
administration so long as the policy which has re
sisted the aggressions of foreign powers, con
served the rights of the country, and raised the
national character in the eyes of the world, is
pursued—and no longer. This deteroiinudnii
will not, however, induce the publishers to exclude
the productions of persons who may differ with
(hem on political points. Temperate ami rea
sonable essays, in short whatever tends to elicit
truth and expose oppression, (excepting th u lo
gical controversies) shall without any regard to
tiie writer’s creed, be admitted. The press shall
be free.
Terms.—The Darien Gazette will be printed
with new type, on a royal sheet, and issued eve
ry Monday at noon. The price of subs cription
«ill he five dollars per annum, payable in advance.
Advertisements of one square or less will be
charged seventy-five cents for the first in-ertion
and thirty-seven and a half cents each successive
time. Notices above that size will be charged
ptoportior.sbl v ; and no advertisements will he
discontinued without orders to that effect from
the advertiser.
All letters on business to the editors must be
post-paid.
