The progress of America (luring
tlie last Century.
From the elevated position we now occupy,
let us turn our eyes back on the history of the
past . entury, to observe the progress of Ameri
ca since the birth of Washington, and the influ
ence ot tus life and character on the destinies of
his country and of mankind.—What tecs his
country 1 Eleven small British colonies (for
Georgia had then no existence, and Delaware
no separate name) were scattered along the
shores of the Atlantic, within the present limits
ot the United States. They extended inland
Oidy to a sh irt distance, their remotest outposts
hardly reachingthe foot of the Alleghany Moun
tains. Behind them was an unexplored wilder
ness, from the recesses of which, savage tribes,
trained to war and plunder, were ever ready, at
the uist.gation of an ambitious chief, or the temp
tation of a favorable opportunity, to spring forth
on their inhabitants, w ithout warning and with
out mercy. On the north and on the south were
the colonies of France and Spain, both ancient
rivals of Great Britain, and, according to the
universal opinion ot that age, its natural as well
as hereditary enemies; so that evciy contest be
tween those nations, brought war home to the
doors of the colonists, who thus suffered from
all the intrigue of European policy. From a
“ report of the Lords of Trade,” it appears that j
woo!, flax, and hemp were raised in small quan
tities by the fanners, and wrought into coarse
cloth and r -pes, in their own dwellings, for their i
own use. Besides these household manufac
tures, and a number of establishments for refin
ing sugar, for distilling, and for tanning, there
were several forges and furnaces for making
iron, and in all America, one slitting mill, one !
nail mill, and one paper mill, the last of which I
produced paper enough lo sell foi nearly a thou- ;
sand dollars a year. The inhabitants of the !
northern colonies also had recently began to
make hats, and had even exported some, of
which great complaints were made by the hatters
of Loudon, as interfering with their business. ;
Parliament “diverting the thoughts of the colo- ‘
nists” from manufacturing and exporting the
produce of their soil, enacted under severe pen
alties, that neither hats nor wool, nor any man
ufactures of wool produced in America, should
be water-borne, or laden in any vehicle or on
anv animal for transportation, even within the
colonies themselves, and that every slitting mill
should be abated as a common nuisance.
Only two of the colonies had the right of
choosing their own chief magistrates. The
others had governors appointed in England; ei
ther by the crown or by the proprietors ofthe
colony, who possessed also, respectively, the
right to annul, within a limited time, any laws
passed by the Colonial Assemblies. The co
lonies were not bound together by any other tie
than their common allegiance to the British
crown.
Such was America; a number of feeble, scat
tered colonies, eurtounded by enemies,disunited
dependant. Possessing, indeed, in its habits
of industry and enterprise, in its domestic, civil,
literary, and religious institutions, the germs of
its subsequent greatness, but faintly <!t veloped;
crushed beneath the oppressions of the colonial
system, and in this part of the country still lan
guishing under the influence of that connexion
of civil and ecclesiastical power, w hich is every
where degrading to religion, and dangerous to
liberty. Such was America! Lock o;t it now.
TV hat do you behold ? One great, united pow
erful, prosperous, free people, without • master,
■without an enemy, without a rivil. The Al
leghanies, which were then our utmost limits
urc now in the midst of our population; the vast j
region beyond them, ot that time a wilderness,
is crowded with villages, and towns, and cities,
■swarming with inhabitants, burdened with plenty;
tho Mississippi, whose oiigin and course were
not then known, iu now a common highway,
and the still more remote territory, then unex
plored, may I not say uudiscovered, is now en
tirely subjected to your laws. Your manufac
ture.-:, relieved from the monopoly ofthe colonial
system, have extended with inconceivable ra
pidity; your commerce peoples the ocean; enter
prise and industry trt every pursuit are all tin- ,
shackled; and under the protection a free
equal laws, the u; •... ‘
60 feebly >'• vdc, ,-d, have shot uj, . a
abroad, and covered the whole in. id, ur s nlos
6omed and brought forth fruit abundant.’ the
Iruit of knowledge ami virtue.
But general expressions can give no idea of
our progress. Fancy itself fi:ig K , and ru.
ft rid halts b-iiin;} the trull. Look only at out
op il.V.ion.. V hundred years ago, it did not
esc Tiit'.i , At this day, it is more than
13,’ • 0. o.isidcr, too, he difference be
tw< . t’ v ogress in this respect, during the
first l ult aud the last half of the century just
endec. The first fifty years added to the ex
isting p pulation 2,000,000, making in all nearly
3,000,000 of inhabitants in 1752. The last
fifty years have added to that number more than
10,000,000. The whole shipping of America a
century ago, was not 100,000 tons. At present,
though the revolutionary war almost swept it
liont tit ocean, and it sutlered greatly,in the last
it approaches 2,000,000 tons. In the whale
fishery alone, 1,300 tons only of shipping were
th'*n employed, and it now gives occupation to
90.000 tons. Our whole exports and imports,
which did not exceed one million sterling, ave
increased twenty-fold. There are no suffi ien:
data for estimating our progress in other respects;
but who can look around him without perceiv
ing, that in domestic comfort, in internal im
provements, in wealth, in knowledge, and in .ill
the arts of life, it has been far more rapid even
than in population or in trade; and that we have
advanced with constantly accelerated sppod
during the whole period. It began with achiev
ing the work of a century ill a generation, and it
seems to end with crowding the w ork of gene
rations into single years.— Gray.
Deaf, Dumb, and Blind. —At the Asylum in
Hartford, Ct. there is a girl who from her birth
has been deaf, dumb and blind.—This is the
only instance of the kind on record, with the
exception of a boy iu Europe. We have heard
many curious and unaccountable facts in relation
to this unfortunate girl. After she was removed
to the Asylum, she endeavored to imitate the
employments of those about her. She disco
vered that they were occupied with books, and
she would frequently place one before her, and
would also try to teach a favorite kitten to read
a newspaper. To accomplish this object, she
would spread out the sheet before the little ani
mal and then feel of its mouth to ascertain whe
ther it moved its lips, but finding this was not
the case, she would shake it and thus evince
her displeasure at her intractable pupil. If sev
eral watches are handed to her at the same time,
no artifice” ran succeed in inducing her to give
them back again, except to the person or per
sons of whom she received them. When she
was first admitted to her present abode, she ein
ploved herselt in measuring (he size of the va
rious apartments and the heights of the stair ca
ses She would get down upon her knees and
smell at the tnresholds, and so perfect is her
knowledge of the building now, that, it is said,
she uever makes a false step upon a flight of
stairs, or enters a wrong door or takes the wrong
seat at the table.—She is remarkable r.eat, and
arranges hei wardrobe with the most perfect
order; and it a single article of her clothing gets
out of place, she knows it at once. When the
basket of clean linen is brought forward each
week, she readily selects those that belong to !
her, however carelessly they may have been
thrown into the general mass,
Many presents in money have been given her
which are deposited in a box, and she has been
made to understand that its contents belong to
her.—She frequently takes it in her hand and
thus weighs it and manifest her joy according
to its weight.—She has long known that with
money she can get her wants supplied.
The following curious anecdotes are told of
her and their explanation is not a little difficult.
One morning during the last summer, while en
gaged at her needle work, she was incommoded
by the warmth of the sun. She arose, opened
the windows, closed the blind, and then resum
jed her work. The question is, how could she
know the heat was from the sun or that by
closing the blind she might yxdude his rays?—
At the tea table with the whole family, on pas
sing her cup to have it replenished, one was ac
cidentally returned to her which belonged to an
other person. She discovered the mistake the
moment she took the wrong cup into her hand,
and pushed ,t from her with some slight mani
festation ot dislike, as if her sense of propriety
had been disregarded. There wns not the
slightest difference in the cup, and in this in
stance she seemed tobe endowed with a degree
ol penetration not possessed by those who were
in the full enjoyment of light.
1 bus it seems, as has often been observed,
that in persons deprived of any one or more of
the senses, an additional quickness and exquis
itencss are bestowed upon those which remain.
fit addock's Defeat, —A writer undei the sig
nature ct ‘Ohio,’ in the Pittsburgh Mercury,
gives the following description of the ground on
which General Braddock was defeated.
Nine miles above Pittsburgh and immediate
ly upon the north bank of th- Mononguhala river,
is the celebrated battle ground called ‘Brad
dock s I ield.’ It is famous for the destruction
ot an army intended tocapture Fort Du Quesne,
crush the extending power of'Ftance, and con
! trol the Indians on our western border. Here
H ashington fought and Braddock fell. On this
spot 50 Frenchmen and 250 Indians nearly
destroyed toe forty-ninth and filly-first regiments
of British regulars, though aided by a number
of Provincial troops. The battle was fought ®n
the afternoon of the 9th July, 1755. Seventy
ycats have passed away, and yet the crumbling
bones of men are seen in every field for a mile
tri circuit. Fur many years they were shrouded
by a mourning wilderness of shadowy trees, but
this has yielded to the busy axe, and the plough
is annually driven among the skulls oi the slain
ano the hones of the hrave.- Rich harvests
wave over fields fertilized by the blood and bo
die-, oi a thousand unbini ct men. The par
ti i< go whistles, anci the rcap- r rings on the spot
wh*-rc t., cries ol mortal anguish told the
dread rev Irv of battle. ‘Twas here the wild
whoop ol the fierce savage quclfoe ‘he rallyinu
cry of Europe’s warriors ‘Twas h,. re they
;rove the r*-*’ -w tomahawk deep into the
e ne vanquished, and with yel
*.“•'■ ■ -sit’ front the head ofthe
v...i tie .thedeai and fie dying.
’ 1 ot: and earned their wounded general
•viln tl.*in until he died.— lie was buried about
40 miles from the battle ground, in the centre
of tlie road his advancing army had cut. To
prevent the discovery of this, soldiers, horses
and wagons were passed over it, lo save the
body from savage dishonor, by thus concealing
the trace of interment. Some of Brnddork’s,
affectionate soldiers marked the trees near the
spot where he wn - laid, that tho recollections of
those who visited the west many years after,
could point to the exact place of his inteimcnt,
now einpliaticallv termed B ruddock’s grave. It
is dose to tin’ northern side ot the national
road, seven miles east oi Uniontown.
It lias been rumored from an early period,
that Braddock had been shot bv his men.—
More recently it has been stated, by one who
could not be mistaken, dial in the course of the
battle, Braddock ordered the provincial troops
to form a column. They, however, adhered to
the Indian mode of firing severally from the
shelter of a tree. Braddock, in his vexation,
rode up to a young man by the name of Faw
cett, and with his sword ras! ly cut him down.
Thomas Fawcett, a brother ofthe kill< and, soon
learned his fate, and watching his importunity,
revenged his brothea’s blood by shooting Brad
dock through the body, of which wound he died.
Thomas Fawcett is now, or was lately living
near Laurel Hill. lie is now 97 years of age.
Progress of Civilisation in Algiers. —The
influence ofthe Turks has long been declining
in Algiers. But there are a few Moorish fam
ilies not connected in marriage with the public
functionaries,sent thither fiomtimc to time from
Constantinople. Their decend inis are denom
inated Coulouglis, and have always enjoyed
particular privileges.—The familes connected
with them have been enriched; but the source of
wealth,which consisted in piracies upon thecoast
of Spain and Italy, has been stopped during
many years; and Lord Exmouth put an end to
Christian slavery in 1816, while various treaties
with Europe decidedly cheeked the former ir
regular warfare, and weakened the Turks. In
this state of things we found the Moors ready to
receive us as liberators.—Our manners and re
fined habits .vere more pleasing to them than
those of the Turkish soldiers. They bat e not
forgotton Spain and its enactments Thfii
countenances and jestures, and their whole
demeanor are strikingly Spanish One ol
them, Sidi But Dharba, told me one day, that
by his mother’s side he was descended from the
Moors el Granade. I have often played at
whist,or escartepvith these pretended barbarians,
and found m vself in enlightened diseussiou upon
the comparative merits of European and Mos
lem manners. Their dwellings are fitted up
with great luxury. At the country house ofSiiii
Hamedan, whose eldest son was educated at
Paris, are to be seen all the resources of a man
of taste, a library, and a garden laid out in the
English style. Polygamy is almost unknown
at Algiers, The women have much more free
dom than in other Mofamedan countries.
They have the exclusive management of the
house, and pay much attention to the education
of their children. The Algerines are fond of
music, and offered to contribute towards the
expense of a theatre. Many of them speak
French, Italian, Spanish, and English. And
what seems decisive as to the civilization of the
Moors, they possess a great number of schools,
conducted upon the Lancaster and Bell systems
of mutual instruction; and primary instruction is
more general than in France. It is a great
enor to suppose them hostile to our more en
lightened views.— Westminister Review.
Manganese. —lt is perhaps not generally
known, there has been discovered in the State
of Vermont, a mine or bed of Manganese, of a
quality superior to the imported article.—The
Manganese mine is in the town of Chittenden,
Rutland county, 29 miles from the shore of
Lake C hamplain, and has been worked since
io.sC. Th manganese is raised from the
earthy particles, ground in mills erected for the
purpose, and is sent to the N. York and other
markets in barrels. It is understood that the
New York Chemical Company are to be sup
plied with two hundred tons of ‘this article the
present season. The principle use of Man
ganese is for making the Chloride of lime or
bleaching powders, and for glass. The price of
the Manganese is between 30 and 40 dollars
per ton in market.
We mention this as a single fact, tending to
illustrate the influence of our canals in develop
ing and bringing forth the rosorccs ofthe coun
try. — Albany Argus.
Things that / Hate. —l. I hate to see
a farmer build his fence directly in the sm
ooth, hard road, and turn the travellers out
through stumps and bush.
2. I bate to see an important public road
hawed and goal i n every direction to avoid
crossing any man’s land.
3. I hate, after having bought a dictionary or
a spelling book, to find on examination that it is
full of superflous u’s and k,s, in such words as
errotir, govrrnoitr, honour, authour, public*,
music*, politic*, enthusiastic*, &c.
4. I hate, after having engaged to send my
children to a school, to discover that the teacher
of it permits the pupils to “studdxj cut loud,”—
to us increasing and confirming the noisy pro
pensities ofthe children: confounding those who
wish to study in silence and peace, and creating
habits in the children which subsequent tuition
cannot possibly eradicate.
5.1 hate to see the letter y, in unconnected
syllables, ’pronounced, as it frequently is, espe
cially in singing, like long i as ’glorigh,” in
stead of glory.
6.1 hate to hear people say need cessily in
stead o (necessity.
7. 1 hate to see a person drop his tools and
implements wht rever he happens to use them;
and then to h-'ar bun fret b r hours because he
cannot find them; “A place tor every thing and
‘very thingma place.”
e. I hate to se p-ople employ an ignoramus
as a school teacher, merely because he teaches
cheap.
9. I hate to see people give their money to
strolling beggars from Italy and Sicily, when
hoy pretend to be too poor to buy a cheap and
useful bock tor their children.
1.1 hate to see a mnu give 25 or 40 dollars
for a wooden clock, w hen he pretends to be on
poor to subscribe for a newspaper.

AURARIA, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 19, 1833.
|C3“ We have been reluctantly compelled to oinit the

readers interested in such information, will find them in

The Election.—' “ The long agony is aver”—“ the die
is cast,” and Wilson Lumpkin is Governor, for the ensu
ing two years. The returns given below, and estimates
made of the probable majorities in the counties remaining
to be heard from, for and against Major Crawford and
Jtfr. Lumpkin, satisfy us, that the issue in favor of the lat
ter, is unalterable. In announcing such a result, we but
echo the voice of public sentiment —we but proclamato
the will ofthe people—yet we claim the prerogative, of
withholding our assent to a measure, sanctioned even by
such high authority. Now however, that the stonn has
passed—the political waves become hushed —the banner
of battle furled —and the discordant notes of angry com
batants died away—we can recur once more to the chart
of our faith, and consoling ourselves by the respite,
look to the future for a correction of the evils of the pre
sent time. Weshallnotat present attempt the sugges
tion ofany of the many causcß, which have operated in
bringing about such a result; they exist with the party of
which Major Crawford was the candidate; the aid of its
discretion came too late to li ave him, as he should have
stood, the unquestioned advocate of those principles
which have in times past,led it to conquest and to victory.
Ratification, the favorite bantling of a. few, whose aspi
rations for pow er, were identified with its success, has
been signally dee ated, and the people must again look
about them for integrity and virtue, to tarry into effect the
object proposed lo be accomplished by the late Conven
tion. A reserl, sooner or later, to direct taxation to sus
tain the current expenses ofthe government,will be una
voidable; until then, we shall look in vain tor such a mo
dification of our representative system, as will, while it
promotes economy, also securo equality t to the people.
