S ISSUED last year Proposals for publishing a new Meptri our State, but alter mature rtfltciiun, 1 was ir.a.ic; u to decline it till the Cherokee country should bi acquired and Surveyed. As a Bi I for surveying the Cherokee lands is now before the Legislature, und which 1;js passed into a law, I now present new proposal# t<> the public, feeling the ntmof. confidence in i»s lil.irsl.mu efficient patronage. The size of the ; »P will be the biinit ^s ihai published by my father, which 1 tlin.k si ffi cieutly large for a f ill and distinct representation. Tin style cf engraving sh >il he tqaal to that of the best en- g.aved Map of any of oar sis'.er states, and every object liiat O'igbt to be laid down, and which is usual!) repre sented on State- 'ups will be delineated wi'h mathcnitdi- cal precisioii & accuracy. -They will be neatly varnished, canvassed, ccdored and attachid to UolK rs. To suit pur chasers, u .mi able number of the m will be endured in richly ornamented covers. To assist mein meeting tin .-xp. nses of engtavirg and oilier incidentjI exp uses, wisicli will unavoidably occur while preparing tbc origin :! for the bail Js of tin- Engraver, 1 eohtii those who sub- *-ci ibe to advance what tuey can with cr-nv. ni< i.ce. Thost »vJio may be disposed to advance four doiLrs, will rece-v* it without additional charge. The cost to those who tuJ- vunce ttoo dollars, will be fee dollars; and to those who subscribe and tuay nut choose to advance, six dollars to be paid down on the delivery of the Maps* The selling price to those who do not become subscribers, will be 57 per c-.py. Those individuals w ho may please to extend their l.beral aid by making an advance, w ill receive me Maps nt a lower price, and shall be entitled to tbe first copies that are struck. No. expense or labor will be spared to render it very accurate and worthy of * liberal and ex tended patronage. The M .ps will be delivered to sub scribers and others, wi'hin six months after the Reports of tbe District Sm veyors are received and filed in the bur- vej#i--Gencra(’s Office. If tbe woik can be brought out earlier by the Engraver it will be done; but I am nut wil ling to promis: them before tbe timo mentioned. I de sign to commence my !Map of the State soon after the rising of the present Legislature, and will complete (be representation of all tbc Territory cf our State, with tlie exception of the Cherokee country; and as soon as the S-irveyois shall survey it and make their official report-, 1 will finish the Map and place it in the hands of the En graver. I will also publish a Plan of the Cherokee Lands sepa rately, representing the counties, districts, squares and fractions, compiled from official surveys. The price of tliis to subscribers will be three dollars, and if they will advance one dollar, they shall be emitted to receive it on payment of an additional dollar. To non-subscribers, it will be sold at four dollars. This will appear about four months after tlie survey is made. The engraving of this will be neat and plain. I assure the public that the v taps will be prepared ai the time mentioned, and that expectation will not be disappointed. BENJAMIN II. STURGES. Milledgcvifle, Dec. 25, 1830 25 4m The following extract from that publication contains a!) that has anyrelation lo me: , "Messrs. Editors:—While tny review of tbe Bank report-was publishing, 1 received nn a nonymous letter from one of our commorcial ciiics, informing oie, among other things, ‘that scarely a part cleof tfee Report of the United States was penned by Mr Me. D., but it was was peoned by those immediately interested in, or employed by the Bank;’ ai.d that The follow ing individuals can tell who penned that docu ment ; Langdon Cheves, N. Biddle, Air. I;i- gersoll, &c., kef Now concerning this matter (continues Judge Clayton) I not only know nothing, but be sieve noth big; I give. Lie fact as 1 received it. If true, it speaks volumes; it not true, the honorable chairman of the com mittee, or the gtfnth meii nbove named, should promptly disabuse the public as to the a iarmiug suspicion which such a circumstance is calculated to inspire, For the sake of the purity of their deliberations, Congress ought to enquire into it, if there is the slightest foun dation for such a beli"(.” * * * It is equally due to myself and to ail con cerned, that I should state explicitly, that io the whole ofttic foregoing statement ol Judge Clayton's anonymous correspondent, there is not “a particle” or shadow of truth. The en tire Report of the CornmitU e of Ways and Moans, to which reference is made, was com posed and written by the Chairman of that Committee; aud of course, not a single sen tence of it was penned by any other human be- iog. Ii the reference made to Mr. Cfieves, Air. Biddle, and-AJr Iuger»oll, was designed to convey the idea that these gentlemen, or either ol them, “penned” any part of the Re port m question, they 4 can tell” Judge Ciay- lon fhut his correspondent is a random and reckless calumniator. I am not disposed to complain of the course put.-•lied by Judge Ciayton, because 1 do not siscnbe it to an unfriendly, and much less, to u malicious motive. I cannot but remark, how ever, that he has permitted himself to be drawn, by an artful and iusiduous libeller, into a situation of extreme awkarduess, at least in volving all tbe legal responsibility, without any of the moral guilt, of publishing a false and malicious libel. Thajihis is a base and infa mous libel, the Judge wiii now doubtless per ceive and admit. (l is apparent, aLo, that he is the sole publisher, however inoffensive his intention, und h<- has been too long at the bar •*ud on the behrlt not to know that his legal responsibility for this publication cannot be e- vaded f>y stating, that he received the mfor mat ion from an anonymous correspondent, ailf j neither believes nor disbeliev s it. I do not m;<ke these remarks for the vain and idle pur pose of reading to the Judge a lecture on.the law of a libei; but to adm riish him of the ex treme imprudence of publishing a grave charge against a Committee of the House of Repre- 't-iilHiives, deeply affecting, jn his own opin ion, the purity of ihe National Legislature, on an irresponsible authority, stamped with suspi cion upon the very lace of it. If this charge had been published by an anonymous writer, 1 bou’d have had too much soH*respect to have noticed it; but coming before the public from respectable source, even vviih a v ry cquivoi aiendorsimnt 1 h.«ve felt that I must either i ive countenance, by im silence, to a false and I sparagirg imputation; or adopt a suggestion t the Judge, and Sdi-abuse the public mind as io the alarming sii&j ic.ien” winch his onn pnh- ncation has been the sole >nd exclusive means of producing, GEO. AicDUFFlE. texts of Scripture can be quoted as positive : uthonty for the practice, but it is quite un necessary to search them <*rt. “Because our Lord condemned and repudi ated ail ostentatious and hipocnlical prayer in public, such as was resorted 10 by the Phari of men/* and to impose upon them—because, 1 sav, Christ censured this kind of base hypo crisy, Dr. Cooper takes it for gYanted that he forbids “public prayer, both by iiia words and by his practice.” This, to sR^ the least of it. is a strange result, and one to which no man ot coinmorrsense, and common honesty, cau come after reading the Scriptures. “I sincerely believe there is “a Divine real ily in the Christain Religion 1 *—I wish this be lief to acquire strength daily if possible; that I may at last die ui it without doubt or waver ing “I therefore, for one, ihank no man for at tempting to shake our faith in the Divine au thenticity of Christianity, nr in th«. . (firi n»*y of public prayer and preaching. Nor can 1 re gard him as a good citizen, or a patriotic man, that would do so. Admitting the whole theo ry of the Christain religion to be fabulous and fictitious, all must agree that it forms an cx cellent system of morality, and constitutes the strongest cement of civilized society. Very tew. even of the few who pioless to be govern ed by “a sense of honor” are restrained by its rules. The laws of human enactment are, for the most part, easily evaded; and was it not for the “dread of a hearafti r ”—the apprehen sions of *a future reckoning," most men would be “devils ihcarn te.” “But I am neither so vain, or so arrogant, as to volunteer a defence of public prayer and preaching. If these holy practices need a champion to protect them irom ihe unhallowed attacks oflr.fidelity, a much abler one will he found in you and other Ministers of the Gospel. I merbly’wish to protest against such sacrilege, and to disclaim the policy of foster mg, io the bosom of our community, a man capable of such profanation. "Yei it soerns that such a man is cherished and patronized by our State Legislature Ilu is placed at the head of our College, and char ged with the instruction of our youth. Ho presides over and controls an institution, that virtuaiiy governs th&State. He, forsooth, must dictate the politics and policy of South-Caroli na, control her most important elections, and shape her destiny. I believe his unwarranta ble intefcrence and tampering in the late in trigues by which Judge Smith’s re-election t*; the Senate of the Uuited Slates, was defeated, is no secret to any body. I will only add, further, that if he is to he continued iu bin present situation, and permit *ed to go on instilling heterodox ideas, and in fidel doctrines into the minds of his pupils, South Carolina (to say nothing of political consequence*,) may soon “clam the palm” from /{evolutionary France, on the score of im morality and atheism. “1 remain, dear sir. your friend and humble servant, JAMES BLAIR. among people of d sguised urbanity, have been •aciily order d to evacuate the pew« winch tbey inadvertently, and unfortunately occu pied!. A graceful bow, in this case, is quad ftectoal. Iu this country of free ami inpnr- 1 ml ins! it nt ions, to trammel the scats in a chris tain church, and thereby make a striking dis tinction between the rich and poor, is, to say ihe least, extremely illiberal,'and smells strong ly of ministerial aristocracy; I combat tbe pr:ncip‘e and its kind Heeds; nut heaven forbid, that I should wish to tra duce the characters, or injure the leadings, of 1 hose pious men, who adopt, and practice the -vstem of restriction. The honesty of their intention, is not in the least degree questiona- tde. I conscientiously enti r a solemn protest against the appropriation of pews, and sincere ly think, that ft cannot withstand candid and pungent disquisition. The truth is that men of piety, and information, are f und on both sides of this controverted quest ion, and as in- ****4 • jr, «%«r • • m »• «w - • v.*- '-* nected, ali ought to b<* o,*cn to conviction. To discuss fully the subject under inspection, would far exceed the limits of a newspaper communication; but this brief exordium, it is hoped, will awaken attention on both sides of the qqestion, and produce impartial inquiry, As this essay is perfectly disinterested, and interesting however bidly executed, I hope, sir, tGat vnu will favor it with an insertion in vour crowded and popular columns.

Reuben Tucker.— Dear Sir—I enclose you a sophistical, perhaps I should say, blasphemous document, written as I am informed by Thomas Cooper President of the South-Carolioa College, sign ed “wf Layman.'’ * I am perfectly at a loss to conjecture the object of Dr. Cooper, in writing such a piece, unless it !»c to raise a quarrel frith the people of South-Caroliua, in order to-furnish himself with a pretext for running away, and having them—for surely it would he a* had comment on the morality of South.Carolina, that any man should avow and publish such doctrines, and yet be sustained and cherished by that community. “I am myself opposed lo the suspension of the mail on the Sabhaih—- not because 1 fear >uch a measure would lead to “an Union ol Church and State,” blit because I think tlpe transportation of the mail on Sunday and every other day, absolutely necessary to a prompt and safe administration of the government. But to decry the preachingofthe Gospel, and ridicule public worship, requires 4 degree of hardihood, impiety, and misanthropy, that I had hoped no man in South-Carolina could entertain __ l am glad that he is not nnjrtive of our country from whom such septiments have emanated. ‘He denies that we have any scriptual atuhority for public prayer. But Row stands the factl Let any one read St. Mark 11th chap, and I7ih v. St Luke, 11—1—22*—10; the Acts of the A poslles, 1—24—3—?!—4—31; and they will find not only ample authority for public prayer, 'but find that it is taught and enjoined, as a duty, by Christ and bis disciples, both in precept and example* No doubt many other FOR THE CHRONICLE AND ADVERTISER. Mr. Pemberton:—All intelligent christains, nay, every rational mao. will readily admit the propriety ot the maintainance of orderly gospel Ministers. The vulgar assertion of the incon siderate, that * grace is free,*’ is an orlh >dox position, of universal application; but that Min isters are entitled to pecuniary equivalent com pensation for their personal services, is equally true. So far, all rational men accord but that th: y d>ff r in opinion, relative to tbe mode ot collecting this compensation, is too obvious to admit contradiction. To raise a minister’s salary from (he rent of pews, is in my apprehen sion,, the most exceptionable mode of any here tofero adapted If monied men were, by vol notary subscription, to raise the amount whicl they pay for pew rent, several inconveniences would thereby be completely obviated. It is hoped, and beli: ved, that the nppropria Don of pews is not intended as a barrier, to pre dude (he moneyless from a participation in the oonefits of ministerial performances; but never iheless, contrary lo the anticipation of pew* holders, it indirectly has this baleful effect.— If it were possible to apportion human pride precisely to tbs wealth of individual worship pers, tt'.i- system of appropriation, would meet with no objection; but alas! tbe indigent are unfortunately endowed with a large proper tion of this tr ubiesoine article, therefore, any discriminative mark of inequality, they can not willingly submit to. The diminution f a congregation, is one inevitable conse quence ot this restrictive system. You, Sir probably recollect the pious fraud, of a vene rable clergyman, who was zealously engaged lo accomplish some charitable purpose, by gratuitous collection of money. Alter he had effected ami melted his overwhelming audi ence. by pungent argument, he with apparent sincerity, requested, that no ratio who was un able to pay his debts, shouldf contribute one cent. • The application gff this premeditated match to the pride ofthe audidnce, produced an ex plosion which drew the desired article in a bundnnee, from perhaps, every pocket. Even in these degenerate days, thousands that are expended tor the occupancy of decorated pews, in splendid churches, ought, in the spir it of justice, to be paid over to disappointed, injured creditors. “See how we apples swim.”—This disposition of pews operates a- gainst that class of tnon who wish to adhere to a certain church, but are unable to pay the qs- From the United States Telegraph.
