* MISSIONARY. ■ ! ■ ‘ k I>* MOUNT ZION, I'iUOAY, MAY 25, 1821. \ more honourable testimony could not be liorne to the Christian system, Ilian that furnish 0d by the comparative order and happiness of (hose countries where the principles of the Gospel are inculcated ami it* institutions established and revered. We hava only to 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 benevolent institution, has ever existed in the heathen world. The most celebrated nations of antiquity, whose mental and military course is marked with a blaze of glory, in this particular, claim kindred, if not ■identity, with the great mass of unfeeling barbarians. The pages of Grecian and Roman story disclose but few facts wliioii 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 cute sympathy, may here and there be found,they are to be attributed to the impulse of nature, which cannot always be repressed by adventitious cireumstances, rather than to a deep-rooted and pervading national characteristic!;. With the liiiseries of others,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 terests of all who wear the human form and pos sess an immortal mind, are exclusively the result of Christian truth. Not a trace ofaheir rtcistence iisto be found in pagan lands. These edifices, ! which stand as the wonders of the world, were erected, not by the systems of Zeno or Socrates, [ hut by the doctrine of Jesus Christ and his apos- ties. Few inquiries are more interesting or profita \ bie than those which relate to the progress of the k Gosuel—to its influence over local institutions, ■ am! its agency in the formation- of national eba -5 racier. It is the only system which possesses u I oontroling power. The passions, and prejudices, I and barbarity of man, can withstand every thing i but the omnipotence of the Gospel. Wherever j j this system is published and embraced, its reno- i \ vating effects are seen and felt. Society exhibits Ia new aspect—the savage becomes a man —the | intellectual powers awake from their quiescent I state, and pursue a wider range ; a more vigorous * tore of moral feeling pervades the heart; the midnight darkness melts into noon-day lustre, and the heavy curse entailed upon the first sin ner and all his posterity, and under the practical operation of which, the earth has wept and groaned, while the heavens have, in sympathy, echoed back its plaintive cries, is stayed in its Bxecution 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 if the soul were out of the question. It lifts man rom the deepest degradation, and exalts him onae nore to a condition a “ little lower than the an ;els.” So distinct, and obvious, and prominent ire its effects, that were the nations of the earth o pass under the inspection of a critical eye, it vould not be difficult to fix upon those, by an in stantaneous recognition, who have been instruct ted in the doctrine of Christ. Their intelligence, freedom and happiness, and, above all, their pub ickinstitutions, from which, as the centre of vi- BaliJy, emanates the life-blood of national exis tence, distinctly tell us where eternal truth has thed its illumination, where the doctrines of the ■rrosshave been published, and where the Con ■queror of nations has achieved his victories. I TV it h these facts before us, it is not strange hat the Christian world should unite in a grand ind mightly effort for the universal spread of the jospel. The only mystery attending this busi | less, is, that the disciples <f Christ have continu : id to enjoy such a deep and protracted slumber; the last command of the triumphant , >ur, to “ preach the Gospel to every creature ‘j wild exert no practical influence —should pos i ms no constraining (sower. tVe fix the eye al irnatelv upon Christian and upon Pagan lands, i id pause and wonder, not that exertions should l w he made to impart the blessings of the Gos- I si to every nation under heaven, but that this ork, requiring the combined energies of Chris* i nddm, should have been deferred so long. We i UTH'diately fed ar identity of interest with the fa ! nevolent associations of the day, which have ®r their object nothing less than the political, in tellectual and moral renovation of the world, eifi In this aye of Christian effort, ive are presented with a rich fund of the most cheering intelligence. Christianity has in some measure, taken the .Jilace of the systems of mere human policy ; and *n equal if not a super!our interest is excited by He'|:)iniiges which attend the march of the King W ZionpvhicTi was once the exclusive prerogative HTpolitical revolution. Religious News is deoi \ edly the most important which is in circulation | t the present day. The elements of the moral * ‘stem are ii a state of revolution, while the po -9 deal world is in a condition of comparative rest. || Tile human empires, with few exceptions,main f m their old and- settled boundaries, the king < im of Christ is acquiring glory by the addition C one subjugated province after another. In this v irk multitudes have already united, and, in the f’ pilar progress of terrestrial operations, which aj : moved forward by an invisible, though potent an, the resources of the world will be combined itj giving publicity to the doctrine, and triumph ta (he spirit of the Gospel. Numerous are the Si- ieties which ore engaged in this work ; and tir enterprises of philanthropy at home and will form a grand feature in the history of 1 has been entirely fcrs-la*ir:<!. The same hand! Vbich has administered bread to the hungry and ! medicine to the victim of disease, has bestowed a I 1 J stiil richer treasure in the Bible, and the means of religious instruction. The same spirit has qualified many lor the work of the ministry, and sent the ambassadors of life to the distant pa gans. TJie savage has been turned—the Hotten- 1 tot has been restored to the dignity of a man—the j Hindoo has abandoned hir, cast—and the islands | of the sea forsaking their idoh, have received the laws of Christ. Nothing, in the history of the world can compare with theca*, 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- ] afively uninformed in relation to the exertions of the Church, and the progress of the G ospel at | the present day. Religious publications are but little read ; and many who love the cause of Zion • are totally ignorant of the glory which she is ac-! 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 , listhe great 11 desideratum.” “ The Missioxa- ; ry” was undertaken with the hope of supplying the defect- How far we have discharged the im portant duties of our posts, it rests not with us I but the publick to determined After struggling j 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- j ! tion to our patrons. The expense of our estab- ( 1 lishment has been great, and when all the subscri- - * hers who are chargeable with total delinquency, 1 are stricken from the list, the office will probably !be left in debt. Finding this to be our situation j i at the close of two years’ laborious occupation sor’ i the public!;, anew arrangement has become \ indispensable. .Sucli an arrangement has been j ! made for the continuance of the paper. The j | whole establishment passes at the close of this j week, into the hands of anew firm, and the form .er proprietors wish for a settlement of their busi ness as soon as 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 I etora have the strongest wish to maintain its mer-; ; it, and-rio extend its circulation, in order to ren-1 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 I circulate news of a more recent date, j We once more make our appeal to the puh- I lick. Without patronage, it is a clear case, that cur press cannot he 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. W'e 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 any man who has been taught of heaven, and who professes to hold every thing in subordination to She prosperity of the Church, bring the paltry sum of three dollars a year into competition with the vast amount of I J . 1 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 we could urge with more ener gj r , and to better effect, were it not for the deli cacy of our situation as a party concerned. We only ask how professors of religion who are in ; easv circumstances, and who believe “ The Mis -1 sionarv” calculated to be of great service to the j Church of Christ in the State of Georgia, can 1 withhold their support? That many do this even ■ in the neighbourhood of the establishment, is too palpable a matter of fact. The man of general reading as well as the j Christian, may find entertainment from our pages. (It has ever been, and still is our intention to ! make “ The Missionary,” U> a certain extent, a Miscellaneous Journal, adapted as far as practi cable, to the taste and instruction of all. We conclude the jtresent volume and turn our thoughts to the commencement of the uext, cheered with the confident expectation that a i generous pnbliek will not leave our Publication ; to languish—will not suffer us to “ labour in j vain,” i And plough the winter's wave, and reap despair. 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 wc learn, are these : Early in the morning lie fastened the doors of his apartment, and having furnished himself ‘with a billet of wood, he proceeded to the bed in which his wife was lying and struck her a severe blow upon the head. Tier screams awtike 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 ’arrn of the unfeeling monster, who ; coolly remarked, that he Was sorry to experience any interruption until his purpose had been com pletely effected. lie was immediately arrested, , and lodged in jail. We have heard it mentioned i that he had for some time exhibited symptoms of mental derangement. LITERARY. We remark that anew novel from the mint of the Author of Waver! y, to be entitled the Buc caneers, 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 vogue in France. Foreign and Dowcstick lateljigence. Since oar last, no additional advices have been received from Europe. 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 of conference, lias become a law. It does not materially differ from the act* authorising the last lottery. Several other acts, generally of a private or local nature, have been passed at this session. Among those of pubiick interest we uolice the repeal of a law passed some years ago, which imposed a penally of twenty-five pgr ceut. on refusal of the State Bank to pay specie ; and an act prohibiting the sale oflottery tickets, except of lotteries author ized by the state, under a penalty of one huu j dred dollars for each ticket sold. The Circuit Court of the U. States,for the dis trict of Georgia was held here during the last week—Judge Johnson presiding. t here was, we are informed, much important business before the court—ly decisicu made at this term, relating to the Bridge at Augusta, is likely, we understand to produce oolli'iuu between the Federal and State authorities. The Executive appointment of Thos. U. P. Charlton, as judge a the Eastern Circuit, was last week confirmed by the Legislature. A resolution (says (he 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. Fhe resolution will be published in due season. Col. James Blair, David Terrill, Esq. James Alston, Esq. Dr. Thomis Moore, and Peter La mar, Lsq. were elected) commissioners to super intend the drawing of life Land Lottery. Hezekiah Luckie, wllter Campbell, Edward i Thomas, Charles Phillip-:, John S. Porter, Drew !ry Stokes, Jacob McJtendon, John Mcßride, ’ Richard Kennori, and Jfhn H. Broadnax, Esqrs. were appointed surveyor: to lay off the county and district lines. Mobile, April 3. Extract of a letter from Col. Santiago Mordella, of tbe Mexican army, operating in Texas, to an officer of the United States’ army at this place, dated Fort Bolivar, Jan. 10, 1321. 11 1 take this opportunity to acquaint you with our arrival at this fort, and the commencing of our operations again't the royalists, by talcing trom them a fortification on the river Trinidad, with four six pounders, and ffiO prisoners, and £OO de serters of our standard; our loss was 12 killed, and 18 wounded. “ We expect some provisions iron# the United States, and some officers with 900 men, and as soon as they arrive we will march to St. Antonio. “ The day after tomorrow, I am going to take La Bahia de St. Bernardo, defended by 200 men and 10 pieces; but the men, who are creoles, are waiting for us to join our cause Gen. Cua lusse Victora who is 200 leagues from us, intends to form a junction with us as soon as we fortify St. Antonio, and march to the inleriour, so he will form a diversion in our favour,and call the at tention of Gen. Arredondo’s army. Our force will then be 1-1,000 men, and master of four pro- vinces.” Arkansas, March 3. Gov. Milter returnfe’d 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 j parties have been qqually eager for the bloody combat. 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, with 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, ‘•The Importunate Author,” from the “les Fau cheux’ ’ of Moliere, and sent ; t to the Britbh In stitution, Pall Mall, for exhibition. Among an unusual variety of pictures, upon historical, po etick and inventive subjects —nearly all produced within the year, Mr. Newton’s held the highest rusk. It was purchased before tbe opening of the exhibition, in a very flattering manner, by Mr. Thomas Hope, author of A nasi alius ; but per haps better known as 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 “ than any modern picture he had seen for many years.” The Morning Chronicle notices it as a piece of rich design, full of mental expression and vivid humour—yet finished in strict accordance with nature. The Examiner, of Feb. 19th, edited by Mr. L. Hunt, expresses the following flattering though confused opinion : “G. S. Newton, a citizen of the American Re puhlick, is the painter of the universally admired j picture, No. 12.” It has the same want of finishing, while it is equally full of sensibility with bis countryman’s, Mr. Leslie’s picture from the Spectator, in a re cent Royal Academy Exhibition,and has as bright, if not a brighter charm of colours, approaching . the splendid. The transparency and potency 1 with which the crimson, purple, gold, and silter dresses of its two figures, give tile fullest effect to the mind impressed, face and figure of the Author, as lie flings to the arm of hi? impatient companion —and to the latter, ns he looks at his watch, in an appeal to time, in favour of his going from the egotistick and troublesome author. The subject is most clearly, vivaciously, and with the above exception, satisfactorily told. After looking at a number of the other pictures, with our eyes only, we look at Mr. Newton’s with an accompaniment of our hearts. Mr. Newton hgs it hi contemplation to design ■ ; ;, e o-rin* Ex h bition,’ at Somerset Home—(he subject taken from Kenilworth. He also intend* to paint ano ther picture from Moliere, and one from Dante. [Boston Intelligencer. Yankee Ret.—A bet was made in Providence, R. I. on the Fate gubernatorial election, of aCake of Gingerbread, to be of a* large /(intensions a\ the winner should direct. Accordingly, a cake was baked by a Mr. William Barstow, under di rection, of the following dimensions. It was ten feet long, two feet two inches wide,, two inches thick, aud contained forty-three feet four inches board measure. On Saturday last, it was exhib ited for distribution, handsomely figured and dressed out with box. [Boston Centinel. Paris, Ky. April 3. 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 Meysvifle, Ky. and bis 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 the 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, arid the accumulating ice, determined to land and decide on Mr. R’s remainining until Mr. Carr would proceed to the settlement, and procure help to take him in. The settlement, or 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 Mr. Rogers was too weak to proceed. The snow was raked off by his faithful friend, leaves gasher ed for a bed, wood to last to his return, a fire kindled, powder left him to kindle his fire in case it should go out, a buffalo robe and a horse blank et left him, and all the provisions, they had, a quart of corn. The friend took his leave, with a promise to return as soon as a man and horse j could be procured. The first night he (Carr) ! stopped, he- attempted to kindle a fire, but his powder was wet and he did not succeed ; he had to beat about a tree to keep himself 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. This added to the difficulty oi'finding the place where he had left Ids friend. fie’ thought it was near Cow Island, and spent many days in exploring, fearing Rogers had moved his ground. Not succeeding in his search, as be left biiu on the bank of the Missouri, he was deter mined to proceed higher up, and on the 21st 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 flown, discovered the shilling eyes of his friend .’ He was alive 1 but his ; feet were much frozen. His fire had given out and in attempting to make more, his powder ble w up. He was afraid his friend had frozen and in ; despairing of life he rolled himself up in his bus ! falo robe and lay down. He was eight days I without any kind of food, and was so exhausted, i that when the wolf stared him in the face, he was 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, bui Dr. B—y told me he would not even lose a toe! Is not this j a wonderful tale ?—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 ift 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 1 saw the j 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. We have had a verbal, and perhaps imperfect account of tiffs 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 repeater) 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 1 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 wouud. The load entered just above the hip and lodged near the heart; Ross 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 or three hours. We have not been informed whether the oun 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 Uiose, who sometimes suffer their passion to conquer their reason, and we hope it may never become our painful duty again to no tice an act so deliberate and so bloody. Central Gazette. It is now ascertained by the Census of this Ter ritory', (which was published in our last,) that the number of inhabitants who reside within the lim its of the late cession to the Choctaws, together with those who reside so near the line as to ren der it indispensable to their safety to remove, amount to about Five Thousand Souls—compris ing about one-third of the population of the Ter ritory.
