A conven tion has accordingly been figned, fixing the fum to be paid at fix hundred thouland pounds fter ling, in three equal and annual inffallments, which has been ra tified by me with the advice and confent of the Senate.

Letters from Halifax and Charlotte counties inform, that nightly meetings were very ge neral among the negroes in the above counties —that quantities oi arms and ammunition have f been • found concealed—that ? numbers of the ringleaders have been taken up, feven of whom have been fentenced to death, and immediate execution.— Throughout the whole of the Hate of North-Caroima (par ticularly the lower counties) in lurrc&ion amonf/ thofe mif creams fceni to have been very general) which leaves us no i room to doubt but a horrid maf | fa ere of the whites was intended ’ by the negroes of this and the i adjoining Hates.

From the arrange ments which are progreffmg, we believe this will be one of the moil dt ganc and fuperb ain ners ever given in America. SAVANNAH, May 21.

Day & Hfly, TO life the language of an elegant writer, I think it the duty of every good citizen to ‘ ftandforch, and endeavor t j un deceive the public, when the vileft arts are made uie of to | defame and blacken the bright eft characters among us. An eminent author affirms it to be almoft as criminal to hear a a worthy man traduced without attempting his juftffication as to be tnc author of the calumny againft him. For my o\vn parr, I think it a ft rt of mifprifion or treafon againft fociety. In this point of view, Arifiides's chaftiftment of Mr. Midedge’s calumniators is laudable. If any further tdlimony of their attachment to the rights of man, and the immediate intcrefts of their country, ha I been required of our reprefentatives in Con greis, ol which number Mr. Milledge has the honor to be one i their faithful conduft dur ing the laft ft fiion affords the moft mcontelbble. Such con dud; Hiould not only compel lurking envy and bale ingrati tude to recoil before its brilli ancy ; but even hufh the de detrading voice of open and proteiH o enmity They have nobly fupported the well placed confidence of their condiments, whole intei eft and profpenty they have coniuited and fecured lo tar as depends on them; for which they have the higheft claims to the c-fteem of a grate ful people. But I muft regret ihar. /Iriptides had not ftuciied pcrfpicuity more than the po~ hiking his ironical period?. — His quaint alhffions to the Ex ecutive Chief Magiflratc of the Union, and a cert can great Se nate r y are couched in terms too enigmatical and obfeure for the public. In my opinion border ing upon indecorum, andincon fiftent with that relped, which is due to Inch truly exalted cha racters. He appears to be a great enemy to what he terms party fpirit ; againft this he le vels the whole artillery of his wit, which from the complexion of his larcaftical metaphors, feems to be fupplied from the magazines of quacks, cooks and butlers. I alfo am an ene . my to the ex cedes of party 1 p*- rit; but not quite fo iqueumilh as A rift ides. It ha 3 become very faffiicna ble of late Melfrs. Editors, with a certain dcfcription of men, to which 1 am afraid Ariftides lean-.—to afenbe the moft vir • tuous actions to party ipiric, to 1 even arraign the acts of our ' Legiflaturcs, which have been feakd with the public approba ( tion, as the operations cf a fac tion ; and in fhort to condemn by that appellation, every mea-
