min.” “ For unto us a child is born ; un-
“ to us a son is given ; and the govern-

As To-morhow will he Christmas Pay,

When we contemplate, and look hack
for a half a century ago, that this great
Continent was humbled by a depcndance
on a little island in Europe, as degrading
to the dignity of the people, as it was
shameful to the prosperity’ of the country,
iiow giand the reflection ut tlii> moment!
The is.-ue of our revolution rni'sed us to the
rank of independence among the sove
reigns of the world, and gafe a general
and ueep impulse to our immense inherent
resources ;—retrieved the degenerated re
putation of our forefathers and elevated
tlie moral Sentiments of the people-; but at
the same time, it brought us unsupported
and alone, a little, timid adventurer, ti
ro m; the powerful and artful nations of
Eur< pc. . w ; •'
'1 he pride of an American was gratified
with the national characteristic which hnd
been recently impressed upon him and he
enjoyed in perspective a full range to the
bold and hardy enterprise of his. country
men. But the political indcpcndeucc of
the courtrv was protected by too little
p< vver to procure for our sepcr&te rights
a jealous attention from others, and the
dear idol of commercial independence had
period, perhaps, will the future
American recur with more prole than to
the present. It is true, in after ages he
will find more wealth, ami population, and
science, and improvement; the arma
ments of the great Republic may appear
before him with more imposing magnitude
and loftier trophies of conquest: he may
find them for centuries compelling sub
mission to our national dictates against
which even hope has failed to present to ri
val ambition a prospect of sueecssfiBop
position.
But lie will look beyond that meridian
splendor, to the first glance of light which
hutst upon our shaded horizon, when the
Constitution struck the British Guirrcre.
It was the time of our national chivalry.
It was the conquests not merely of our op
posing forces, but the opinion of mankind.
It was the little combat of our single frig
atos, and not the many victories of our fu
ture navies, which surprised public opin
ion, and caused nations to hang oil the is-
sue of a battle, with all the great passion!
of the soul suspended on their breathless
attention. v
The latt war is the epilogue of tin
great drama of the revolution; and neve
will the eye of ardent curiosity turn bad
to the source ot our independence, without
stealing along the events which recordtlu
first combats of our infant navy. These
arc tile times for the romance of patriot
ism—it is to these events that poetry and
painting will turn the subjects of enchant
ment and inspiration.

najovity of the Legislature arc favorably
disposed to another Lottery. The bill to
niter mid amend the militia laws of this
state was introduced at so late a period of
the session ns to prevent its being acted
upon, and was therefore laid over with
much <mior matter of equal importance.
The bill to vest the Poor School Fund of
the County of Chatham, in the Savannah
Free School Society was lost. The im
peachment of the Commissioners for sol
ing fractions, whose trial will take place
the next sitting of the Legislature has
created considerable excitement at the
eat of government. It is believed that
they have been guilty ofgross misconduct.
Wo ore happy to state that Gov. Tuottr
who had been seriously indisposed for a
greater part of the session is now entirely
restored to his usual health. He has, wo

From the revolution till the clul of the

than a growing treasury for the cupidity of

higher powers, nor the weakness of

r i he lute war with England is an era in
the history of this country—from thnttime
v. e have had neither injury nor indignity;
and the republic has enjoyed, for the first
time, independence and security. Nor is
there much fear that the system of depre-
•'awons will ever he renewed. The mari
time resources of this young republic are
even now second to none hut the country
of our forefathers.—We could fight suc
cessfully any other nation who might op
pose us on the seas; & even England feels
that the present generation: will scarcely
pass away, before her degraded colonists
will place at hazard even per own supre

the apprehensions and sympathies of man-

gave rise to some eonversation oil the part
of Mr. Barbour, Mr. Ilayne, nnd Mr.
Lloyd, of Mass, which Was interesting, ns
it indicated a strong desire and determina
tion in the Senate to leave no effort unem
ployed to effectually protect our commerce
from piracy in the W cst Indian seas, and
to extirpate the freebooters, who now, by
the facilities of concealment afforded to
them in the Island of Culnt, &sc. prey on

between the inhabitants of the two.couu-
tries, in which domestic cottons, and other
articles, lmd been carried out from tho

mules, brought hack in return; thnt the
interveningtrihoSof Indians presented the
only obstacle to the successful prosecution
of the trnde upon a large scalo; that tho

trnct of country inhabited by different
tribes, to enter whose territory without n
license, was penal under the Inws of the
United States, nod dangerous, unless the
consent of the tribes wns previously oh
tained; that some outrages to persons, and

BALTIMORE, Dec. 15.
On Friday last, a soldier deserted
from the fort, under circumstances which
induced a belief that he had stolen forty
dollars from ono of the officers. As soon
as it was known,that he had gone, Major
Belton dispncjfed a Sergeant, nud a file
of men in senrchofhim, who having speut
several hours in useless search, fortunate
ly met Mr North, n vigilant watchman on
tho Point, and after giving him a descrip
tion of him, he recognised in the per ion
described n man whom he hnd noticed
through-the evening, a3 having changed
his dress, nnd was induced, from that cir
cumstance, to trace lam to Ills dtjji among
the frail sisterhood on the Causeway, and
to which plucc he piloted the Sergeant and
his., comrades, and by making a rapid
movement upon the gentleman’s bed cham
ber,tsurprized him ia tho arms of his
“denree.” He mnde ho resistance, hut
after dressing himself, accompanied the
watchman and the guard of soldiers very
qnictly to theWhtch House, where lie was
deposited for safe keeping, until morning.
After the prisoner lmd been locked up in
one of the prison rooms, tho Sergeant sta
ted to Capt. Evans that he hud better tnkc
pare, as lie was a bad fellow, and hnd
dirk, upon which the captain concluded
would he best to take it from him before
the guard retired, nnd for that purpose
called him oat into the guard room, nnd
demanded of the prisoner whether he had
not n dirk, to which he very civily replied
he had; the captain then approached near
er to him, nnd asked him to give it to him
mid to which request he civilly replied
thnt he would, nnd putting his hand into
the side pocket of his coat, drew out the
dirk and stabbed both Cnpl. Evans and
the Sergeant utmost at the same instant
Cnpt. Evans was stabbed on the breast
and the Sergeant on the breast nnd just
below the stomach. At the moment of
stabbing, he took to his heels nnd succee
ded in tanking his escape, the Sergeant
attempted to follow him hut fell at tho
door from the loss of blood, he was how
ever pursued by a file of soldiers und sev
eral watchmeii up Market street, and was
overtaken by one of tho soldiers opposite
to Ramsay’s Rope Walk, who in order
stop him, pricked him in the back with
his bayonet, which lmd the effect to arrest
his progress; hut ho no sooner stopped
than ho wielded his dirk with such dread-*
ful certainty, that the soldier received
seven stabs in the rencontre, and the vil
lain succeeded in getting off and eluded
all search for the remainder of the night.
Ho was, however, pursued by order of
Major Belton, in the morning, on tlie Phil
adelphia rond, whiflicr it was conjectured
he had bent his course; and wns arrested
and brought back. But such was the de
termined spirit of the villinn, that he bran
dished his steel in defiance of the guard
when they came up with him, and it was
not until a pistol lmd been Bn apt at him
that lie gave himself up. He is now safe
ly lodged in our jail, where lie Will remain
until the Court sits, when he will have
justice measured out to him. It appears,
that when undergoing an examination
before the Justice, he behaved with great
rudeness, and manifested a total iudiffer-
nco ns to the fate that awaited him.
