Coming willing to invest their surplus
capital in manufactories, for the pro
duction of fabrics, out of the staple
raw material of our state. The Geor
gia Statrinaq and Patriot announces
that two manufactories, for bagging,
negro cloth and sheeting, are about to |
be established in the neighborhood of
Milledgeville—that the agent of a
house hi Savannah, pun based a lot at
the late sale of the reserve at the In
dian Springs for a similar purpose—
and that John Schley, Ksq. of Jeffer
son county, and CJnl. Seaborn Jones
anti Mop John A. Jones, both of Mil
ledgevjjle, have it in contemplation to
erect a manufactory of cotton bagging
on Reedy Greek, in Jefferson county.
It in also intended to have progressing,
in the same establishment, machinery
for the fabrication of cloth of cotton
w arp Ac woolen woof, the thread from
four to six hundred, and should the
establishment prosper, to ultimately

experience in such business, having
manufactured in this State timing the
war with England; and feels no

the manufacturers of the West and
North, In addition to which, the 1
Georgia Fourier of the 10th inst, says
Mr. John Schlev, left this city this

THE YOUNG CONVERT.
Led by her heavenly maker tho ’ unseen,

Milton.
The brilliancy of a fair and un
clouded sunset, had been succeeded by
the mellow rays of a full naobn, now
standing at tuerediac, whose sitting
.splendor, decorated vernal nature
I with sw'eetest tints, in rich profusion,
when 1 wandered through the grove,
skirting the village (where i
was a casual visitant,) to enjoy the
calm serenity of the sceih*. I soon
discovered numerous crowds passing
iu Urn efcwe direction, and led by cu
riosity, I abandoned my first inten
tion, to enj<y the evening in solitude,
and determined to follow the multi
tude, and ascertain its object; a few
hundred yards brought us to au area
of, probably, an acre, in the centre of
which stood a large arbor, rudely
constructed of p |es and brushwood,
under which a numerous collection
Was fast assembling. Seats were
tinned of l'gs, and at one extremity
was an end -sure, in the centre ol
which, a stage had been elevated—
evidently intended as a place of pub
lic worship. This then, said 1, must
be a house of G >d. The days of pri
meval religion, when the Saviour, en
tering the tenement of frail mortality,
appeared among men, to teach his
ll.dy Gospel, at once struck me with
awe. The ministers all sitting on tin
stage, in the attitude of devotion, sur
rounded by so rude a structure, re
minds one f the Saviour, with his
Apostles, teaching the iriulitudc in
the wilderness. A venerable minister,
silvered with the hoary frosts of age*
rose and read, in an audible, yet tie
inulous voice, the beautiful llymn be
ginning with “ Sweet is the work my
God my Ring,” whir h was responded
by the congregation, in full < h rus, in
a strain of sweetest melody, which
methoiight i had never heard surpas
sed. It floated oil the air, until tin-
tones of the mingling voices seemed
lost in the distant e, and if ever the
music of the choristers of ihe church
reach the footstool ot the Saviours
Throne, these sweet numbers must
have been wafted there.
As snon as the singing was conclu
ded, the aged Minister, bending in
the attitude of Prayer, breathed fai th
an Orison for the general benefit of
the mourners, in which, 1 thought, 1
bad never witnessed the humble lan
guage of the meek and lowly suppliant
more ably or more feelingly portray-!
ed; each listner was as silent as the 1
iiousc of death, not a lisp, not a breath
disturbed the altar of the most high
God, other than that of his aged ser
vant-, and the heart burs nig amen of
the mourners, at each losing period
(1! it was a Prayer where The human
eharacter and human iniquities were
ably portrayed—where thy blandish
ments of folly, and the ittiquity of;
vice, which iharacterize the human
family, wts ably explained, and the
remedy asked most feeling and
humble manner In ad ever heard;
tt expressed; many there*, wore who
mourned over their own wickedness,
and many whose bursting hearts
yearned for relief from so grievous a
‘ urtlien of sin and depravity. L*-*
mentation and mourning was heard
from many hearts who had, but a fi;w
minutes before entering the rude
building, light and careless as the bu and
which sings its song in the grove,
where nothing can disturb its haruio
ny.
I particularly noticed a young female,
apparently, not more tiian fourteen,
whose sobs were distinctly audible,
unable to continue in her seat, under
the weight of her emotions, she sunk
on her knees, uncopcious of those a
round, and soon prayed fervently.
Apparently relieved, she arose, after
a few moments, and joined in the
Hymn, the congregation were sing
ing. As soon as it was concluded, a
young minister arose, read a few ver
ses from the Scriptures, fiom which
he selected for his text “ Coine all ye
that labor and are heavy laden and
I will give you rest.” liis renlirks
were brief, yet expressive—he com ;
menred by explaining the life and
history of our Saviour, in a most feel - j
ing and pathetic manner—the vision of j
Bethlehem—his sufferings and perse- j
cutions while yet an infant in the man- j
ger—his ripening w isdom in early j
years, and the final close and suffer
ings of his earthly pilgrimage—ids
numerous and prophetic sayings a
niid the dying agonies of the cross—
the period of his resurrection and ap
pearance again among Ins disripies,
until the final ascension to the mercy
jfleat at the right baud of God. Ail
most eloquently described, in the
glowing and pathetic language of a
devoted servant of the glorious Re
deemer, He finally closed his- re
marks, by exorung the multitude to
follow the wise precepts and glorious
example set before them, ’till out few
ryes were dry. I again marked the
young penitent, whose sobs were so
audible as to be distinctly heard
wti*Te I stood. 1 recognized her to
beau acquaintance I hau long known,
though not aware, until that moment,
tnat she was in the neighborhood >f

passed, now aud then, into a faint
glimmer of hope, while she inwardly

saw the happy gleaming of. hope,

even more than human—then was sho

As soon as the meeting w-as conclu
ded, 1 made myself known to Fran
ces, and escorted her to the tent where
sbe lodged. She was somewhat sur
prised to see me, as we had both left
our homes, without either knowing
the destination of the other. She told
me w hat had been done for her soul,
aud expressed an ardent hope that her
friends might soon taste these holy
pleasures. I never saw so altered a
being—Before, she was proud, gay
and volatile—without care or thought
of eternity, and often have I heard
her repeating, in mockery, the pray-
ers ami admonitions of the grey hair
ed monsters of God—But now, she

DVIXQ FRIEXDS.
Who that liveth hath not felt the
pang of separation which death in
terposes betwixt the dearest friends?
Where is the heart that has not bled
by the keen dart of the great Tyrant?
Where is the house into which the
gloom of mortality has never intro
duced the still horror of faded forms
and dissolving relicks? Who cannot feel
resposive sympathy with the Psalm
ist, when he complains so tenderly.
Lover and friend tliou hast put far from
me and my acquaintance into dark
ness? To many this life is little more
than a dark gallery, hung with tho
images of the tomb, and c heered only
by the lamp of hope which throws
a flickering light upon the grand ter
mination. Almost every day that
passes is the anniversary of some ca
lamity which reminds them of the
prosi ration of their earthly hopejs,
and of friendship’s last farewell.
Dying friends read us an awful,
yet instructive lesson. To stand by
them and see the world gradually re
