JI i^^qpog'Tii—T - j-iftriM'V'l ■ <ayfWiH)m COLU MBI AN~C ENT [KELT SATU~RDA Y, AUGUST 2. DIED, at liis Plantation in Edge field district, South-Carol'na, on Mon day the 2Sth July, Mr. Mason Moseley. In justice to the feelings of an afflicted young widow and aged parents; and in the hope of exciting a vigilant atten tion in the community for apprehend ing his murderer—the following state ment as given by the deceased, is re quested to be made public.—t):i Satur day morning last, as Mr. Moseley was taking a short hunting excursion round his neighborhood, lie discovered a ne gro fellow endeavoring to hide himself from his view—which induced him to suspect he was a runaway, on approach ing and interrogating the fellow, his suspicions were strengthened ; and for the safe securing of the fellow, jie or- to strip off his cloathvs, to discover if he had any offensive weapon in his possession. The fellow denied having any, nor was any to be discov ered about him. He was then direct ed to walk on to Mr. Moseley's house, about one mile distant, the deceased following him—unfortunately the lat ter inadvertantly approached too near to the Negro, when he suddenly turn ed round, closed upon Mr. Moseley, and gave him a fatal stab in the belly with a knife, which he had somewhere concealed when previously examined— Mr# Moseley soon after fell, and the fellow made his escape, taking with him the rifle loaded with two balls—The family being alarmed at the unexpect ed delay of Mr. Moseley, went in search of him, and about three hours after the accident, found him laying near a road, with a great portion of his bowels pro truded through the wound—these were soon returned and the wound stitched up ; medical assistance was procured, but all was in vain; he lingered in great pain until 1 i o’clock, Monday fore noon, retaining his intellectual facul ties to the last few minutes before his death. The Negro Fellow who committed this murdes was described by the de ceased, to be about 5 feet 10 or 11 in ches high, between JO and 40 years of age ; the thumb of the left hand off a scar on one of his thighs; and his back was well marked with stripes—he had on a short dark colored cloath coat, bine pantaloons, good sharp toed shoes, and a tolerably good hat—he had with him a large bag, the contents unknown, and a good blanket apparently almost new, all of which with the following described rifle lie carried oft' with him. The rifle is of the common length and bore, brass mounted, the stock broken near the hind sight, and there tied with a waxed thread. Should any fellow answering the above description be ta ken up or lodged in any Jail, it will be performing an act of justice to the com munity, to forward information thereof to William Moseley, living at Deer Savannah, Edgefield district, on the road leading from Long-Cane to Charleston, South-Carolina; 16 miles distant from Augusta in Georgia, so as the yillian may be brought to condign punishment. [ Herald. SAVANNAH, JULY 26. EBEjYEZER, Effingham County , July 24, 1806. In haste I communicate to you the following distressing news. On the arrival of Mr. JOHN GROMET and family, with merchandize from Savan nah on Sunday, on the Monday follow ing they were employed in opening them. On Tuesday evening a hogs head of Brandy took fire from a candle, b£T in what manner it is difficult to say; the fire communicated from that hogs head to others, and in a small time the house was in flames, by which Mr. Gromet was so much burnt, that he died on Wednesday morning, and Mrs. Gromet lies in great agony, and it is feared she cannot survive long. Brandy, Gin, Rum, kc. &c. were consumed in large quantities, with ev ery article the house contained; papers, and a few small tilings excepted ; and notwithstanding the distance at which the buildings are placed from each oth er, the destruction ol the remaining part of this village, w r as prevented only by a severe shower of rain taking place at that time, and the exertions of the surrounding neighbors, whose activity alone preserved the Church, which stands 60 or 70 yards from the red house, in which these unfortunate peo ple had taken their residence. The President of the United States has appointed Mr. John IJ. Dabney, American Consul at Azores or West ern Islands. Arrived at Philadelphia, ship Active, captain Morris, in 60 days from Cape Gooo i lope : by her we are informed, that Sir Home Popham sailed from the Cape on the 14th of April last, in the Diadem, accompanied hy the Diamond and Raisonable, of 64 guns, two fri gates, and a number of transports, on board of which was a train of artillery and a highland regiment. It was gen erally believed that this expedition was destined against the Spanish settlements of Rio-de-Pluta* We are informed, and we commu nicate the intelligence with sorrow, that Gun-Boat No. 7, commanded hy Lieu tenant Ogilvie, which sailed from the port ol New-\ork lor the Mediterrane an, returned to that port with the loss I oi her must, and sailed a second tirpe j for her place of destination, has never since been heard of, and there is every reason to believe she is lost, with ail her crew. Gun-Boat No 6, arrived at this port, has sprung lur mast; but she is rep resented, by her officers, to be a most excellent sca-uout. Charleston Courier. Edward Carrington, Esq. has ■ been appointed by the Presi ;cnt of the United Slates, consul at Canton. ■■■■ - We hear that on the Sd inst. the • Stone Church at Fort Tobacco, was • blown down by the most violent wind • ever experienced at that ph.ee. Hun i dreua ol large trees were also levelled ' to the ground—and several houses ut terly destroyed. A canoe with a man i fishing, was taken up out of the water, ■ and carried upwards of a hundred yards, i without hurting the man, to the plan tation of a gentleman! Several persons : were injured. J J r ashingtm Federalist. Mr. Sampson, the Irish Barrister, • whose great exertions in defence of his • suffering countrymen have exposed > him to so much persecution, and who has opposed nothing but candor and I magnanimity to it, arrived here on Fri ■ day the 4th inst. in the British Packet. The social qualities and various accom plishments of tliis gentleman will make • him an agreeable acquisition to socio i ty. Ilis talents will entitle him to high : rank amongst mm of learning and gc > nius; more still is clue to him in regard , to his private and moral character, but iiis highest praise is, that he never em i ployed his abilities, but in the consci ; entious discharge of his duty, and that ; lie deviated from the high road of pro fit and honor that lay eminently open to him, not from any private ambition, I but as an act of voluntary self devotion | to the cause and relief of the unfortu nate. A". York American Citizen. j Albany, (N. Y.) June 30. ' t Grecnbush and JVetv-Harroivgale Waters half a mile from the Albany Ferry. ’ These waters, upon several trials by ; the most eminent physicians in Albany, ‘ appear to possess all the properties and ; distinguishing qualities of the justly ce ; lebrated Hamwgate Waters in Eng land. They contain purgative salts, a small quantity of earth, carbonic and azotic gass, with a large proportion of sulphurated dydrogene. The llarrowgate Springs in England are much resorted to, and are found eminently usclul in many cuticular eruptions, such as the itch, those aris ing from surfeits, scal’d head, salt rheum, and even the leprosy. Also, in complaints of the stomach and bow els, whether arising from indigestion or other causes ; hypochondriac affec tions, obstinate costivencss, piles, Bcc. they have been found to give great re lief; they bid fair to relieve many rheu matic affections, and have been useful in sprains and parahtic weaknesses. They prove an excellent vermiluge, and have restored the lost appetite and debilitated habit of body. M any of our citizens have already experienced great benefit from their use, but in obstinate complaints, and those of longstanding, i a physician should be consulted as to the quantity to be taken, and the man ner they should be used. In consequence of the favorable opin ion of the faculty in Albany, the spring has been secured from defilement by lock and key ; therefore, real invalids may rtly on getting the waters perfect ly pure from the fountain ; and giddy boys, and such as go only to idle away an hour and gratify curiosity, will not be permitted to disturb and waste the water as they have heretofore done. Such invalids as do not reside in Al bany or near the spring, may be ac commodated with lodgings and dieting at the Greenbush Hotel, and other houses In the neighborhood of the spring. Extract of a tetter received in Philadel phia, dated LIVERPOOL, MAY 24, 18d6. “ The dam > occasioned by political occurrences still bangs upon our export trade. The demand for common cot tons was free (particularly feu- low A merican cottons) until the dose of last week, when some heavy sales of West- Imlias, of a description not much want ed, were brought forward, and meeting a dull demand, gave rather a check to the market; hut the holders have been steady in the Prices and some few sales are making, viz. middling-uplands 16d. a 16d. 1-2, fine 17u. New-Urleans, ve ry prime, I9d. middling 18d. and m;x ed 17 a 17d. 1-2. The consumption seems to have run upon these descrip tions ; it it continues, and the supplies do not come in faster from America j than they have done so far, it is not! improbable the market may be run ve- i ry fine, the stocks here being by no means heavy. The trade in the man ufacturing towns is rather better, but stiil very much depressed ; and under tlie situation of affairs with the conti nent, we are unwilling to hold out any inducement fur arrangements in Amer ica further than we have already done. The demand for fine cotton is not so favorable. “ Flour has experienced a reduction; and we fear losses will be sustained in shipments from America, if the orders j which have gone from hence affect the j markets, it will iluctuate as specul t- ! lion occursbut lue stocks oi grain, J Sxc. arc fair here ; the prospect of liar vest favorable, and a probability of some j supplies through neutrals from the Bal tic, the ports being open. “ Uur government has abandoned tlie tax proposed on pig iron, and have given official notice of the blockade of the coast from tlie Llbe to Brest; both inclusive, but not to extend to neutral , vessels laden with goods not ocing the 1 i property of his majesty’s enemies, and j i not contraband of war, provided the ' vessel shall not have been laden at any ! port belonging to or in possession of any enemy, or be destined for any ene my’s port with ilie exception of the coast from Ostend to tlie Seine, which will be vigorously blockaded. “ War is declared against Prusssia and Papcnburgh, apd the embargo is ( taken off Hamburg and Oldenburg ves sels, also ol such Bremen and Pupen burg vessels as cleared out of any port of Great-Britain previous to the Prus sian notification of the 28 th of March. “ We observe several Danish vessels are brought into the southern ports.” AUG USTA PRICE-CURREJYT.
