he wisely ordered to the coast on finding
general Simblettc’s army considerably re
enforced, and-that he had no chance of
escaping, if lie hazarded a battle with an
enemy double his numbers—added to this
he was in great want of provisions and
other supplies, and it ia a melancholy fact
that the independent troops a* well as the
royalists have been an straightened for
provisions (for Coro is thei poorest pro

In the "Georgia Advertiser” some re

relation to the Secretary at War:—ami

is judged expedient tu say something in
return.
The Editor of it has usually been men
tioned to us a* a person carrying with him
very much of the habits of « courtier—
smooth, oily and bland : but it is now to
be presumed that his manners were fash
ioned slier those of the wigwams of the
Indian Chiefs over whom he wat super
intendent, or that they ape the gait of Itis
Long 'Cane Patron.—This gentleman
from the nature of his office must have
possessed some actual information On the
subject; and I am surprised that under
the circumstances, he should have found
it necessary to refer to any-one nn that
t.oad, as his phraseology .would seem to
imply. But be that as it may, we are all of
us, in this State at least, sufficiently ac
quainted with the nature of Indian af-
lairs; and every man trt' tls knows, that,
whether the Commissions 'are counter

in eR'ect the appointments are made by
the latter, ami the Treaties are always

itaving made any statements, but such as
can be proved to be substantially correct;
and I-still think that the whule transac

a distinguished public servant. The cir
cumstance alluded to, besides, was never
adduced by me as an argument, and so I

Of Sermons on various xufcydMs by tU
late Hknht Kollock, D. Di4 volt.
Dr. Kollock, wax a man of no ordina
ry stamp; and, as might have been ex
pected, ihe productions of his pen ir* aucli
aa tn do justice to the anticipation* which
his efiurta in the pulpit generally excitad-
After til that we iiave seen and heard.of
other men, we are compelled to admit that
there was a charm in his eloquence which
we have never found in equal force in any
other individual. We du not speak -from
personal attachment, for our acquaintance,
with his private life was small; nor yet
from sectarian partialities, for we are of
a different denomination; but from the
impressions which hi* public efforts made
upon our mind, and from tho sense of
that justice which superior eminence ia
a divine art clearly demands. It ia so
seldom that we see a great mind exerted
upon objects of proportionate magnitude
that we cannot withhold the testimony rif
oar admiration from those cases in whitAj
talent has received n new splendour from
the glory of those themes with whir It it has
been .couveraant. It is not meet that those
who Have applied their great powers to
tlie cause of virtue and religion, who have
counted the humility of the Cross their
highest honor, whom “ Ardens evexit ad
xthera virtu*,” should sink into nn esrlv
oblivion ami cease to influence the desti
nies of the living,
Dr. Kollock was remarkable for his pul
pit performances. Nature had dealt to
him no sparing measure of her most atk
tractive gilts, and in bis hands her bounty
was not abused, nnr perverted. His di
ligence made every endowment sobser.
vient to ihe great purpose of bis being.
Ilia fine manly (urm, on which were im
pressed the characteristics of benignity
and candour ; Itis clear masculine voice,
which filled every ear with instruction
and delight, and the vivid expressions of
an amiable countenance, were all brought
into-the service nf his Saviour, and made
sacred by Christian charity.
It was impossible for infidelity itself to
listen to such an advocate without feeling
some good will to the cause which he re
commended. Fur in those affecting appealn
which he often made to his hearers, and
which were seconded by nil the advan-
tages of a winning exterior, he seemed to
be fired by a holy ardour, with a good
portion of which he inspired them, bearing
them along with him to heights whence
could be descried the brightness of a hap
pier world, and whence could be heard
"melody born among the stars.” For the
confirmation of this we have only to ap
peal to numberless living witnesses whose
testimony must secure us from the charge
ot exaggerated representation, and who
giving an impartial evidence, mast allow
correctness nf what we here affirm.
Though the SermoRs which he deliver
ed had, in general, been written out be
fore hand, yet such was the power of his
memory, that he needed very little aid
from his notes, and in the delivery of his
discourses, he had all (he pathos and ener
gy of extemporaneous speakers, with
much more correctness than ia common
with such. .His diction-was generally
chaste and simple, and whilst it rejected
all unnatural efforts to surprize and gra
tify a classical ear, was yet at times en
riched with the'fine8tallustons.
The writer of Hie biographical sketch
prefixed tuhia Sermons, informs us that in
his earlier preparations, he had made
great use nf tlie French preachers, and
had considered them deserving of imita
tion. In one respect, we believe that he
might have admired the compositions of
their more eminent Divines, He approv
ed the noble disinterestedness of persua
sion und eloquence, which shine in their
imblic addresses. But Itis theology came
irom a different school. He had thorough
ly studied the works of Edwards and
Fuller, the latter of whom he held in the
highest possible estimation. We can
never forget tlie terms of earnest appro
bation with which he first mentioned to us
the’name nf Andrew Fuller, whose writ
ings he regarded as the commencement
of an era in theology. “ Fuller'” baid he
"'is the most perfect master of his subject
of any writer on religion that I ever raid.
He nses no word without meaning arid
he-never suffers his meaning to lie, hid.
Though perfectly original in his matter,
he is neverobscure in expression.”
Dr. Kollock is distinguished for an ele
vated and fervid glow of piety in all his
Serwiona und discourses. He brings home
his subject with great efftet to his au
dience, and makes them a party concern
ed in every sacred transaction which he
represents. Instead nf holding them at
a distance by cold didactic dissertations,
he brings them near his person, makes
them intimately acquainted with his pri
vate thuughts, lay* open tu them the soli
citude of a besrt which seeks’ their salva
tion, and stands clear in the correctness
and confidence of Christian integrity and
candour. <
It is stated by JEIian that a Scythian
