NEW ARRANGEMENT.
CL.YFIjVEL OFFICE ,
29th May, 1809.
WITH a deep sense of the encou
rage meat and liberal patronage that
this paper has received since its first
appearance, the subscriber new returns
his sinccrest thanks tothe public for their
support, tie is proud in the recollec
tion that at least he has endeavored to
merit it-
He henceforth declines all concern in
this (paper.... The property ill which and
the printing business ot this office he
has transferred to Mr. Samukl Plam
mond, junior.
He respectfully solicits from his
friends the continuance of that patron
age in Ins support, not doubling but that
he will make Independence his object,
Truth his guide, and Decency his com
panion.
He cannot close without congratulat
ing his countrymen at large on the pre
sent prospect in the political affairs of
the United States, and the succeeding
edioor in particular, on the pleasing du
ty he will have, in bearing testimony to
the revived growth and renovated pros
perity of this land of freedom,
ture and commerce, under the auspices
of an administration, that in its first step
evinces a spirit of moderation, free from
disingenuousness, and a wisdom, that
appearing to despise the cob-web arts
of diplomacy, at once has met a frank
atonement and a fair proposition, with
an honest face and a cordial desire for
reconcilement by honorable negotia
tion.

CEjVTIXEL OFFICE,
3rd June, 1809.
THE undersigned takes the liberty
of requesting the future patronage and
support of the public in conducting this
paper. He will essay to deserve their
good upmion by a steady adherence in
politics to principles purely American ;
in private disputes to forbearance and
decency, and in business, to correctness
and dispatch. These sheets have never
yet been stained with any thing that
honor could blush at, or virtue disap
prove of. He pledges himself in these
respects, that they shall still uphold
th»t character.
Remote as lie is from the great scenes
of politics and commerce, he leels his
duties not the less essential, although in
a limited sphere. To amuse, inform &
protect, shall be his pleasure and his
care. The seat of our general govern
ment is not alone that of power nor of
science. These independent states,
confederated for external defence and
internal peace, and in all other regards
though unequal in size, numbers and
weabh, yet co-equal in rights, must
preserve within themselves those means
of integral existence, necessary to give
them due weight in the sovereignty of
the nation. They must (acting from
their own centre) each guard against
the infringments of their sister states,
and the encroachments of federalpower,
in order to effect a benign and social
combination of the wh01e.... Amongst
the means by which enslaved states have
become free, and free ones have been
preserved, the Liberty of the Press
stands pre-eminent,... Where vaunting,
the scourge of popular tyranny, or the
sword of despotism have ever prevailed.
The state of Georgia has shone conspi
cuous in the ranks of freedom. She
has often felt ttie pang of adversity....
and she has triumphed in the smiles of
victory- She has been agitated by the
collision of parties ; but she has grown
from infancy to manhood, unimpaired
by their convulsions. She has with
others pined in the period of interdicted
activity....she has risen superior to all
these. The editor hails the present
time, and repeats cordially the preced
ing congratulations without the dread
that they will be found irksome. The
measures then that he shall support,
unequivocally will be those that tend
to harmonize the general and state gov
ernments. He views the latter as sub
aUntial parts of the constitutional fab-
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA.
rics, and the former as their cement
and ornament. On public men and
measures he shall freely comment, and
whilst official public virtue receives his
aid, official public viie shall meet his
animadversions. The open violator of
our rights shall be corrected, and the
insidious traitor detected, whenever the
one affords the occasion, or the other
an opening. In private controversies,
his duty will compel him to be the ve
hicle for public appeal; but he will
strive to mollify. In the transaction of
his business lit will vie with his co-tem
poraries in obtaining and preserving a
just proportion of the confidence of his
fellow citizens, on the same terms his
predecessor lias clone.

continue to be sent to pi rsent subscri
bers us heretofore, unless otherwise
directed.

Brigade Orders,

'’TTIE Brigadier Genera! of the Ist
JL Brigade of the 2d Division ol
Georgia Militia, having received Or
ders from the Major-General, to dis
charge his quota of the Three Thou
sand Two Hundred and Forty-two Mi
litia of this State,” which were lately
called for by the President of the Uni
ted States.
Lieutenant Colonel Walker, of the
10th, Lieutenant Colonel Beal, of the
lltli, and Lieutenant Colonel Stilh, of
the 12th Regiments, belonging to said
Brigade, will proceed without delay to
discharge that part of said quota, which
was detached from their respective re
giments. In doing so, they will pre
sent “ the thanks of the President of the
United States, to those corps, whose
patriotism induced them to volunteer
their services, to the detachment gen
erally, the sincere thanks of the com
mander in chief, for the alacrity with
which they have obeyed the call of their
country; and to the officers and men un
der their respective commands, the Ma
jor-General’s most cordial approbation
of their conduct for their promptitude
on all occasions wherein they have been
required to prepare for war, as well as
his congratulations on the pleasing
prospect of a termination of our differ
ences with foreign powers, without re
pairing to the field,”
The Brigadier General would do in
jury to his own feelings as well as in
justice to the officers and men under
his command, were he, at this time, to
withhold an expression of his decided
approbation of their conduct, he will
not, on the present occasion, refrain
from felicitating them and his country
on the grateful prospects that are again
dawning upon our land.

THOMAS GLASCOCK.

THE BOARD~of TRUS
TEES of the Richmond Academy, at
their meeting on Monday last, rescin
ded their Resolution respecting St.
Paul’s Church, and appointed two of
their members, together with the sub
scriber, a Committee to wait on the
present Pew-holders, to know if they
were willing to relinquish their exclu
sive right to the Pews ’till January
next, under the late leasing, for the
purpose of having the seats in Church
free to all persons who choose to wor
ship there.
And the subscriber feels a pleasure
in stating, that most of the Pew-holders
have already been called upon and have
freely and cheerfully relinquished their
claims under the late leasing; and lit
tle doubt exists, that the very few, who
remain, will do the same when they can
be seen. He therefore feels gratified
in announcing an arrangement, which,
making the seats in Church free to all
persons, and leaving the congregation
the choice of their preacher, will doubt
less give general satisfaction to those
who fee! an interest in the subject.

had of Mr. Janies Levingston, at
Campbellton, of John Sin.kins, Esq. at
Edgefield Court-House, or of the sub
set iber at his residence in Edgefield
District, South-Carolina.
There are few, if any, of the En
glish grass seeds adapted to our south
ern climate ; hence arises the scarcity
in our markets of a number of neces
saries of life, which this grass is calcu
lated to remove, as it appears to be pe
culiar to our climate, aftd well worthy
the attention of farmers ; it will grow
on any kind of soil, and will not only
yield a large quantity of Hay in the
summer, but will answer an excellent
purpose for winter grazing.
