MOUNT ZION, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1821.
A more honourable testimony could not be
borne to the Christian system, than that furnish
od by the comparative order and happiness of
those countries where the principles of the Gospel
are inculcated ami ita institutions established and
revered. We have only tu glance the eye over
the wide waste of paganism, and to contemplate
the degradation and wretchedness of man unen
lightened by revelation, in order to carry home
to the understanding an irresistible conviction of
the worth of Christian instruction. Scarcely
any thing in the form of a bcncvoleut institution,
has ever existed in the heathen world. The most
celebrated nations of antiquity, whose mental and
military course is marked with a blare of glory, in
-This particular, claim kindred, if not identity, |
with the great mass of unfeeling barbarians. The
page* of Grecian and Roman story disclose but
few facts whiah do credit to the liner sensibilities
of these ancient lords of the earth. Magnanimi
ty and patriotism are almost the. only elevated and
profitable qualities to which they paid a steady
and pertinacious adherence. If examples of deli
cate sympathy, may here and there be found,they ;
are to be attributed to the impulse of nature, j
which cannot always be repressed by adventitious
cireumstances, rather than to a deep-rooted and
pervading national charucteristick. With the ;
m&eries ofc*thers,and especially with that wretch
edness which is the companion or the offspring of
guilt, the. majority had no communion. Hospitals
and infirmaries—asylums for the protection of the
Orphan, and societies for the relief of the Widow :
and the unnumbered associations which are based
upon the principles of universal brotherhood;
which, crossing the narrow boundaries of kindred
and country', consult the temporal and eternal in-1
tere-ts of all who wear the human form and pos- \
sess an immortal mind, are exclusively the result j
of Christian truth. Not a trace of*heir existence j
is to be found in pagan lands. These edifices, j
which stand as the wonders of the world, were i
’ erected, not by the systems of Zeno or Socrates, |
;• but by the doctrine of Jesus Christ and his apos- i
| ties.
Few inquiries are more interesting or profita
i blmthan those which relate to the progress of the
I- Gospel—to its influence over local institutions,
• and its agency in the formation of national cha
| racter. It is the only system which possesses a
| controling power. The passions, and prejudices, j
I and barbarity of man, can withstand every thing j
[ but the omnipotence of the Gospel. Wherever!
this system is published amt embraced, its reno- j
vating effects are seen and felt. Society exhibits j
la new aspect—the savage becomes a man —the 1
I intellectual powers awake from their quiescent j
I state, and pursue a wider range ; a more vigorous j
j tore of moral feeling pervades the heart; the j
I midnight darkness melts into noon-day lustre, i
and the heavy curse entailed upon the first sin !
ner and all his posterity, and under the practical j
operation of which, the earth has wept and
groaned, while the heavens have, in sympathy,
echoed back its plaintive cries, is stayed in its
execution by the more than countervailing influ
ence of this system of mercy. Such are the ef
fects of the Christian religion in this world, that it
is worthy of propagation, though the immortality
jf the soul were out of the question. Itliftsman
roin the deepest degradation, and exalts him once
more to a condition a “ little lower than the an
tels.” So distinct, and obvious, and prominent
ire its eflects, that were the nations of the earth
;o pass under the inspection of a critical eye, it j
vouid not be difficult to fix upon those, by an in
stantaneous recognition, who have been instruc
:ed in the doctrine of Christ. Their intel>,ence,
freedom and happiness, and, above all, their pub
'ickinstitutions, from which, as the centre of vi
tality, emanates the life-blood of national exis- j
■*:nee, distinctly tell us where eternal truth has
fchecl its illumination, where the doctrines of the
cross have been published, and where the Con
queror of nations has achieved his victories.
With these facts before us, it is not strange
hat the Christian world should unite in a grand
md mightly effort for she universal spread of the
riospel. The only mystery attending this busi
less, is, that the disciples <f Christ have continu
d to enjoy such a deep and protracted slumber ;
the last command of the triumphant qav
* >ur, to “ prtack the Gospel to evert; creature ,”
tould exert no practical influence —should pos
;! sss no constraining power. We fix the eye al
irnatelv upon Christian and upon Pagan lands,
■ id pause and wonder, not that exertions should
2 1
l aw he made to impart the blessings of the Gos
| el to every nation under heaven, but that this
’ ork. requiring the combined energies of Chris-]
t ndom, should hav- been deferred so long. We 1
i imediatcly feel an identity of interest with the
la snevolent associations of the day, which have
\r their objec t nothing less than the political, in
jwllectuu! and moral renovation of the world.

Vfiich has administered bread to the hungry and
medicine to the victim of disease, has bestowed a
still richer treasure in the Bible, and the means
of religious instruction. The same spirit has
qualified many for the work of the ministry, and
sent the ambassadors of life to the distant pa
gans. TJie savage has been turned —the Hotten
tot has been restored to the dignity of a man—the
Hindoo has abandoned his cast—and the islands
of the sea forsaking their idols, have received the
laws of Christ. Nothing, in the history of the
world cau compare with thegu events. The phi
losopher may well contemplate them with aston
ishment, and the Christian with triumph; while
the inquirer who is actuated by mere curiosity
may read, with some degree of interest, the history
of these modern wonders. • -
But among ourselves, the majority a-"e compar
atively uninformed in relation to the exertions
of the Church, and the progress of the Gospel at
the present day. Religious publications are hut
little read ; and many who love the cause of Zion i
are totally ignorant of the glory which she is ac- 1
quiring in other parts of the earth. Our ow n ex
ertions for diffusing the light of life, would be
more united and efficient, if the labours and suc
cess of others were more frequently to pass in re
view before us. A religious paper which should
!go into general circulation, has long appeared to,
us the great 11 desideratum.” u The Missiona
ry” was undertaken with the hope of supplying
the defect, flow far w have discharged the im
portant duties of our posts, it rests not with us 1
but the pitbli.ck to determine.’ After struggling .
through many difficulties, we this day present our
readers with the last number of the second vol
ume. On such occasions as this, we feel our
selves at liberty to speak with freedom of our own
I concerns ; at least so far as they sustain a rela
! tion to our patrons. The expense of our estab
| lishment has been great, and when all the subscri
bers who are chargeable with total delinquency,
are stricken from the list, the sifiice will probably
be left in debt. Finding this to be our situation j
at the close of two years’ laborious occupation for
the public.!:, anew arrangement has become
indispensable. .Sued an arrangement has been
made for the continuance of the paper. The.;
whole establishment passes at the close of this
week, into the hands of anew firm,.and the form
.er proprietors wish for a settlement of their busi
ness as soon us possible. The Editorial Depart
ment will remain in the same hands as heretofore,
and the paper will be conducted in every respect |
on ‘the same principles as formerly. The propri- j
etors have the strongest wish to maintain its mer-;
it, and-to extend its circulation. In urder to ren
der our political columns more acceptable to our’
readers, the paper will be issued on Wednesday!
instead of Friday, as by this arrangement we shall
1 circulate news of a more recent date.
I We once more make our appeal to the pub
tlick. Without patronage, it is a clear case, that
: our press cannot be supported. To Christians of
the different denominations we ought not to ap
ply in vain. Our paper is conducted, at it re
spects the different sections of the Church, on
the most enlarged and liberal principles. We
venture to say, that no one from reading our col
umns, can tell to what denomination we are at
tached. Every paper we issue contains informa
tion with which every Christian ought to he ac
quainted ; —and will auy man who has been
taught of heaven, and who professes to hold every
thing in subordination to the prosperity of the
Church, bring the paltry sum of three dollars a
year into competition with tho vast amount of
good which the circulation of such a paper may
effect? For the support of such publications, the
world, no doubt, has claims upon the Church ;
and these claims vve could urge with more ener
gy, and to better effect, were it not for the deli
cacy cf our situation as a party concerned. We
only ask how professors of religion who are in
; easy circumstances, and who believe 41 The Mis
-1 sionary” calculated to be of great service to the
j Church of Christ in the State of Georgia, can
‘withhold their support? That many do this even
j iri the neighbourhood of the establishment, is too
| palpable a matter of fact.
j The man of general reading as well as the
Christian, may find entertainment from our pages,
jit has ever been, and still is our intention to
i make 44 The Missionary,” to a certain extent, a
! Miscellaneous Journal, adapted as far as practi
cable, to the taste and instruction of all, W’e
j conclude the present volume and turn our
1 thoughts to the commencement of the uext,

j generous publick will not leave our Publication
i to languish—will not suffer us to 44 labour in

MURDER.
On Sunday, the 13th inst. a cruel and unnatural
murder was perpetrated by a man named Daniel
Wagnon.living in a part of Greene county, known
by the name of Cracker’s Neck, upon the person
of his wife, a woman of advanced age. The cir
cumstances, as we learn, are these : Early in the
morning he fastened the doors of his apartment,
and having furnished himself ‘with a billet of
wood, lie proceeded to the bed in which his wife
was lying and struck her a severe blow upon the
head. Tier screams avvxike a young man residing
in the family, who instantly broke into the room :
hut the fatal blow had been given ere he could
arrest the ! arm of the wheeling monster, who
! coolly remarked, that he was sorry to experience
any interruption until his purpose had been com
pletely effected. Tie was immediately arrested,
and lodged in jail. W r e have heard it mentioned
that he had for some time exhibited symptoms of
mental derangement.
LITERARY.
We remark that anew novel from the mint of
the Author of Waved y, to he entitled the Rue
ranters, is announced os in the British press.
The title is of fine promise. A translation of
Kenilworth into French appeared in Paris in the
month of February. All the works of the same
hand enjoy the greatest voguo in France.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
From the Recorder , May 15.
The Legislature, having acted on the principal
business introduced at this session, will adjourn
in a day or two. The Land Bill, after some dis
agreement between the two houses, which was
finally adjusted by committees ol conference, has
1 become a law. It does not materially differ from
the act* authorising the last lottery. Several
other sects, generally of a private or local nature,
have been passed at this session. Among those
of publick interest we notice the repeal of a law
passed some years ago, which imposed a penalty
of twenty-five percent, on refusal of’ the State
Bank to pay specie ; and an act prohibiting the
sale of lottery ticket.-, except of lotteries author
ized by the state, under a penalty of one hun
j died dollars for each ticket sold.
The Circuit Court of the (J. States,for the dis
-1 trict of Georgia was held here during the last
week—Judge Johnson presiding. ’there was,
we are informed, much important business before
the court—a decisitu made at this term, relating
to the Bridge at Augusta, is likely, we understand
to produce colli'iou between the Federal and
State authorities.
The Executive appointment of Thos. U. P.
Charlton, as Judge of the Eastern Circuit, was
last week confirmed by the Legislature.
A resolution (says (lie Journal) has passed both
branches of the Legis.uture, authorizing the peo
ple to express on their tickets at the next gene
ral election, their assent or dissent to the call of
a convention to revise the constitution of this
state. The resolution will be published in due
season.

Mobile, April 3.
Extract of a letter from Col. Santiago Mordella,
of the Mexican army, operating in I'exus, to
an oiiicer of the United States’ army at this
place, dated
Fort Bolivar, Jan. 19, 1821.
“ 1 take this opportunity to acquaint you with
our arrival at this fort, aud the commencing of our
operations against the royalists, by taking trom
them a fortification on the river Trin.dad, with
four six pounders, and T6O prisoners, and 200 de
serters of our standard; our loss was 12 killed,
and 18 wounded.
“ We expect some provisions froro the United
States, and some officers with 900 men, and as i
soon as they arrive we will march to St. Antonio.
“ The day after tomorrow, I am going to take
La Batiia de St. Dernatdo, defended by 200 men !
and 10 pieces; but the men, who are creoles, j
are waiting for us to join our cause Gen. Cua-i
lusse Victora who is 200 leagues from us, intends !
to fori i a junction with us as soon as we fortify
St. Antonio, and march to the interiour, so be
will form a diversion in our favour,and call the at- 1
tenlion of Gen. Arredondo’s army. Our force
will then be 1-1,000 men, aud master of four pro- :
vinces.”
Arkansas, March 3.
Gov. Miller returned to this place on Tuesday
last,after an absence of more than three months;
during a great portion of which time he has been
engaged in holding Councils and Talks with the
Cherokee and Osage Indians, and endeavouring
to prevent the long expected rupture between
them—but without effect. A deep rooted enmity
has long existed between those Indians, and both
parties have been qquaily eager for the bloody
coinbat. Hostilities have been commenced for
some time ; and as both are powerful nations, a
long and sanguinary conflict may be expected.
The Osages are said to be the strongest in point
of numbers, but the Cherokees are much the best
provided with arms and ammunition. We are in
hopes of obtaining some further particulars rela
tive to the Indians, which will be published in
our next.
March 17.
Appointed. —The President of the U. States,
witli the advice and consent of the Senate, has
appointed Benjamin Johnson, Esq. of Kentucky,
a Judge of the Superiour Court of the Territory
of Arkansas.
Osage Mission —We are happy to learn, that
the Mission Family to the Osage Indians, arrived
at the place of their destination, in safety and in
general good health, on the 20th Feb. last.
Their establishment is located on the Six Bull,
opposite Spring Creek, and about 50 miles above
the junction of the former with the Arkansas.
They have six small buildings already erected
and so far finished as to afford comfortable quar
ters to the family.
Fine Arts. —Another young American painter,
we are extremely happy to announce, has com
menced his career in Great Britian, with distin
guished success. Mr. G. S. Newton, of this
town, has recently produced a picture entitled,
44 The Importunate Author,” from the 44 les Fau
eheux’ of Aloliere, and sent ; t to the British In
stitution, Pall Mall, for exhibition. Ace ng an
unusual variety of pictures, upon historical, po
eticlc and inventive subjects —nearly all produced
within the year, Mr. Newton’s held the highest
roflk. It was purchased before the opening of
the exhibition, in a very flattering manner, by Mr.
Thomas Hope, author of Anaslatius ; but per
haps better known us the possessor of one of the
most magnificent galleries of paintings in England.
Earl Grosvenor, a connoisseur, expressed his dis
appointment: at being too late to be purchaser,
and pronounced it more pleasing 44 than any
modern picture he had seen for many years.”
I he Morning Chronicle notices it as a piece of j
rich design, full of mental expression and vivid
humour—yet finished in strict accordance with
nature.
The F.xaminer, of Feb. 19th, edited by Mr. L.
Hunt, expresses the following flattering though
confused opinion:
44 G. S. Newton, a citizen of the American Re
pubjjck, is the painter of the universally admired
picture, No. 12.”
It has the same want of finishing, while it is
equally full of sensibility with his countryman’s,
Mr. Leslie’s picture from the Spectator, in a re
cent Royal Academy Exhibition,and lias as bright,
it not a brighter charm of colours, approaching
the splendid. The transparency and potency
with which the crimson, purple, gold, and silter
dresses of its two figures, give the fullest effect to
the mind impressed, face and figure of the Author,
as lie flings to the arm of his impatient companion
—and to the latter, as he looks at his watch, in
an appeal to time, in favour of his going from the
egotistick aud troublesome author.
Fhe subject is most clearly, vivaciously, and
witli the above exception, satisfactorily told.
After looking at a number of the other pictures,
with our eyes oniy, we look at Mr. Newton’s
witli an accompaniment of our hearts.
Mr. Newton has it i,i contemplation to design
bition,’ at Somerset House—(he #ubje!ff taken
from Kenilworth. He also intend* | 0 pai ano
ther picture from Moliere, and on* from Dante.

Extraordinary Preservation Extract of a let
ter from a lady in Franklin, Missouri, of unques
tionable veracity, to another in this neighbour
hood, dated 23d February, 1821.
“ Mr- lienj. F. Rogers, a native of Fayette
county, Kentucky, and half brother to Dr. James
Moss, late of Maysville, Ky. and his friend Mr.
Carr, also from Fayette county, were on their re
turn from Council Bluffs, as the cold weather
commenced. Rogers was sick and weak; their
progress was slow, and a fall of snow exhausted
their horses, and they had to abandon them. 1
was told tbe snow was three feet deep. Their
next attempt was to proceed by water, arid they
went down the river until Mr. Rogers’ weak state
of health, and the accumulating ice, determined
to land and decide on Mr. R’s reinuinining until
Mr. Carr would proceed to the settlement, and
precure help to take him in. The settlement, or
j inhabited part of the country, was one hundred
and fifty miles distant, and they feared, as the
weather was so cold, they might both perish, as
i Mr. Rogers was too weak to proceed. The snow
was raked off by his faithful friend, leaves gather -
ied for a bed, wood to last to liis return, a fire
kindled, powder left him to kindle his fire in case
it should go out, a buffalo robe and a horse bkrnk
,et left him, and all the provisions they had, a
i quart of corn. The friend took his leave, with
a promise to return as soon as a man and horse
1 could be procured. The first night he (Carr)
stopped, he -attempted io kindle a fire, but his
powder was wet and he did not succeed; he had
to beat about a tree to keephimcelf from freezing.
In this manner he reached the settlement, and as
soon as he could,‘with the necessary help, return
ed to his friend. In the mean time a fall of snow
happened. Thisadded to the ttifficofiy ot‘finding
the place where he had left his friend. He’
thought it was near Cow Island, and spent many
days in exploring, fearing Rogers had moved his
ground. Not succeeding in Ids search, as he left
him on the bank of the Missouri, he was deter
mined to proceed higher up, and on the 21 ct day
after he left him, he found him 40 or 50 miles
from his first search, but where he had actually
left him. He observed a rise of snow, (the snow
was all over the ground) and many tracks of a
wolf leading to it, and with a palpitating heart he
went up to it, and saw a piece of buffalo robe
’ sticking out, and stooping down, discovered the
shining eyes of his friend He was alive ! but his
; feet were much frozen. His fire bad given out
and in attempting to make more, his powder blew
up. He was afraid his friend had frozen and in
; despairing of life he rolled himself up in his buf
j falo robe and lay down. He was eight days
i without any kind of food, and was so exhausted,
| that when the wolf stared him in the face, he w-as,
not able to make any exertion or noise to drive
him away. They got him safe into Hempstead.
It was feared he would lore his feet, but Dr. B—y
told me he would not even lose a toe ! Is not this
a wonderful tale i—but nevertheless it is strictly
true. I went to see him at the doctor’s in this
place. I did not hear all the particulars from
himself, as he was is much pain when l saw him,
but I had it from the best authority. He acknow
ledges the hand of God in his wonderful preser
vation. It is a miracle! The last time I saw the
doctor he told me he would soon be well ;
that he would lose part of the flesh off of
his great toes, but expected it would be replaced.
Let no one in the most trying circumstances de
spair of the mercy of God.”
Charlottesville, Vir. April 27.
Bloody Affair. —On Saturday last, a most trag
ical affray between two men by the name of Ross
and Moss, was witnessed at New Canton. Buck
ingham County. VVe have had a verbal, and
perhaps imperfect account of this affair. It seems
that Moss made an observation in the presence of
Ross, which somewhat offended the latter, who
said to the former, if he repeated it he would
shoot him ! Moss repeated the offensive expres
sion, when the other unhesitatingly drew a pistol
loaded with buck shot, and fired at his head I
The shot entered his face in several places and
wounded him severely ; he immediately retreat
ed to a house a short distance off, procured a
gun, returned and fired at Ross, who was on
horseback, and gave him a mortal wound. The
load entered just above the hip and lodged near
the heart; Boss drew another pistol, and attempt
ed again to file at Moss, but was so feeble,
from the wound he had received, that he fell from
his horse and expired in about two nr three hours.
We have not been informed whether the noun I
received by,Moss is considered mortal or not;
hut from rumour, are inclined to believe the for
mer to be the case.
The result of this unhappy affair ought to serve
as a caution to Q.oce, who sometimes suffer tin ir
passion to conquer their reason, aud we hope it
may never become our painful duty again to no
tice an act so deliberate and so bloody.
