THE MISSIONARY. MOUNT ZION,WEDNESDAY, JULY 4. It is with sensations of deep regret, that we re cord the death of the Rev. Samuel Worcester, D. D. Pastor of the Tabernacle'Church, Salem, Massachusetts. He left home some months past, by the advice of his physicians, in order to try the effects of a sea voyage and a southern climate on his enfeebled health. We have learned noth ing definite respecting the nature of his complaint and the course he pursued except what has been gathered from a letter written by himself and ad dressed to Jeremiah Evarts Esq. Treasurer of the Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. This letter is published in that excellent religious work, “ The Missionary Herald” for June last. It was probably written in the month of February while the vessel was ascending the river Mississip pi from its mouth to New Orleans. His passage from Boston to this place which was a very severe one, was performed in the month of January, and had an Unfavourable effect upon his health. But he still cherished some expectations of deriving hitnefit from his undertaking : “1 am not,” says he, “ without a growing hope, and perhaps an ill founded and presumptuous one, that by the favour of Him, who has supported me in many times of distress, my naturally elastick constitution will yet recover itself, and the heavy pressure, which pn boaral the vessel it has sustained, will ultimate ly conduce to its reparation. If my gracious Master and Lord has any thing more for me to do in this world, I shall live to do it; if not, why should ni}’ health be restored ?” It seems that these hopes of a restoration rested not upon a solid basis. At Natchez under date of March the 23d, he was so low a* to employ an amanuensis to write the envelope of the letter alluded to above. From this plare, after being detained for some days by severe indisposition, he proceeded to Elliot, the. Missionary station wijtong the Choctaws. We have been informed by a gentleman recently from the Cherokee Na tion, that he was-carricd, in the last stages of his disease, to Brainerd where he terminated a few weeks since, his earthly course. These are all the particulars we have yet been able to collect respecting his journey, the nature and progress of his disease, and the time and circumstances of his death. In the death of a great and good ruan, there 19 something peculiarly affecting; we involuntarily start and look around us when such a providence is announced, feel anew impulse to the discharge of duty, and anticipate the summons which will soon bring vs to the decisive retributions of eter nity. In the death of Dr. Worcester these sensa tions will be deeply and extensively experienced by the Christian Church. He has long been de servedly considered one of the pillars of Ameri can piety. His talents, his information, and hi s zeal for the enlargement and prosperity of the kingdom of Christ, were far above tiie common order, and such as are rarely found combined in any individual. For many years past he has been intimately connected with the grand schemes of Christian philanthropy formed incur own country for the spread of the Gospel among the heathen ; and as Corresponding Secretary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, his name and exertions will long be cherished by the churches both of America and, Europe. Few individuals of our race fall the victims of death and a,re consigned to the grave without wringing some bosom with anguish ; —but in the removal of such a man as Dr. Worcester, the church and tire world-may well monrn, for they both sustain a heavy loss. On this occasion his afflicted family and congregation are not the only sufferers. The cause of evangelical truth has lost an advocate who contended earnestly for the faith once deliver ed to the saints, and the poor Heathen have buri ed a friend who, in connexion with kindred spirits, has already done them much good. When such men are cut down, surviving Minis lerjfand Christians are apt to feel a momentary discouragement—are ready to consider the loss irreparable—and to suppose that the Church must sustain an essential and permanent injury from afflictive providences of this description. And these feelings and apprehensions might well be entertained, if the power to which we look for ultimate success in the kingdom of Christ, were lodged in human hands. But there is another view of this subject which is calculated to quiet thee apprehensions, and to inspire hope—another and brighter side of the picture upon which it is our duty and happiness sometimes to fix the eye. The instrumentality of creatures is no farther necessary in the administration of Divine Govern ment, than Infinite Wisdom choosesand when one set of instruments have accomplished their destined labour, they are laid aside, and others raised up to prosecute the same plans of benevo lence and mercy. All these providences, how ever dark, or mysterious, or afflictive, are directed by the unerring hand of God ; and the full and firm conviction, that the Judge of all the earth skill do right, should inspire us not only with sub mission but with hope. It is the appointment of Heaven, that man should die ; and from this uni versal doom—from the operation of this irresisti ble decree, no talents however brilliant, no erudi tion however profound, and no piety however elevated, can for a single moment exempt their possessors. There is something so truly melan choly in this general wreck of human nature, that the eye will often tVecp and the bosom heave an involuntary sigh oyer the ruins which sin and death have made, in this fallen world. The only consolation which presents itself amidst this sur rounding gloom, is derived from the Gospel of Christ. The.re are we assured of the immortality of the soul, and of appropriate rewards both for thwjghteous and the wicked. Aided by this, we can look beyond the isthmus of death, and see the departed servants of Christ crowned with light and, encircled with glory—and from their lips we may hear the sting of heavenly triumph, ’i'orthy is the Lamb that was slain. H. \V. fcovcll, psq. p. M. Watkinsville, Clark Cos. is an agent forthis paper in place of Dr. Win. Wright, deceased. COLONIZATION OP AFRICA. The Agents of the United States for captured Africans, and of the American Colonization Soci ety, who went out from this country in February last, have transmitted tq Washington the most gratifying intelligence of their reception at Sierra Leone, and of the general state of the colony un der their care. The British governour of Sierra Leone, his officers and people, had shewn them much kindness and attention ; and an offer of any part of the Crown Lands, not otherwise ap propriated, had been made to the agents for the use of the colonists during the rainy season, or until they could establish themselves on lands of their own. Mr. Bacon, one of the agents, had sailed down the coast with a view to select some suitable situation for a permanent settlement; and several places have been named as affording a prospect, not only of enjoying health, but of establishing a colony which would,in a fevv years, be enabled to open an extensive and lucrative trade with theU. States, It is stated in the Na tional Intelligencer, that “ the agents speak of the climate and country as exceeding th eir ex pectations ; that there is no difficulty in accom plishing the objects of the Society by prudence and perseverance, and that there was not a doubt in the mind of any person in Africa, with whom they had conversed, on the subject.” The colo. nists themselves were highly pleased with the country, and with the prospect which was before them of realizing all that they expected when leaving America. Letters from two of them will be found on the last page of this paper. Eleven of the people from Sherbro had joined the new settlers and signed the Constitution. No deaths had occurred among these people since the first fatal sickness. Arrangements were making to carry away the stores from Sherbro, and such of the colonists as might be disposed to sign the con stitution of the new colony. Mrs. Winn, wife of one of the agents, was actively employed in in structing the captured Africans who were sent out in the Nautilus, and they had made conside eruble progress under her tuition. Thus, we have not only rescued these unfor tnnate victims of avarice and cruelty from servi tude, but we have restored them, at the publick expense, to the bosom of that country from which they had been unfeelingly torn—we have done more—we have instructed them in letters and civilization; we have imparted to their dark and pagan minds the light of revelation, and taught them to build upon the ruins of a senseless idolatry , the firm fabrick of Christian hope.— Every true American cannot but feel an honest and elevated pride in that glory which so exalted and philanthropick an undertaking must confer upon his country—a glory which has nothing to do with the pride or pomp or ravages of war— which a thousand defeats cannot tarnish, nor a thousand victories increase—a glory whose lustre will survive the desolations of time. In this no ble work the State of Georgia has taken a decided and active part. It ought not to be forgotten, that by a special act of her Legislature, thirty four Africans, who had been illegally introduced within our limits, were placed at the disposal of the Colonization Society, to be restored to their friends and country ; and who, but for this hu mane interposition, must have been doomed to perpetual bondage. In addition to this, many of our citizens have cheerfully and liberally contrib uted to the funds of the Society. The attempt to colonize Africa with a portion of the free blacks of this country, and with such of the slave population as may, from time to time, be emancipated by their owners, together with those unfortunate beings whom our laws may res cue from the holds of slave-ships and the grasp of lawless plunderers, was made by too many of our wisest and most distinguished citizens to admit of much doubt but that something would be done. There were, indeed, numerous difficul ties to encounter and prejudices to overcome, be fore any considerable effort could be made ; but many of these obstacles have been happily sur mounted, and the friends of African colonization have now additional inducement to go forward and carry into mo-e complete effect, that great and exalted scheme of benevolence, which, with the blessing of heaven, shall convert barren wastes into fruitful fields, wild and savage barba rians into civilized and intelligent freemen, igno rant and besotted heathen into enlightened and rational Christians. A powerful and salutary ef fect can hardly fail of being soon produced upon the natives, wherever a well regulated colony of civilized blacks shall be established, particularly if a judicious course of policy is pursued by the set tlers. On this point, however, there can be little reason to fear, as both the Government and the Society have no doubt selected men to manage the concerns of the iufant establishment in whom the greatest confidence may be placed, and who will, as far as human agency can avail, use the best exertions to effect (he objects of their mission. | It can now hardly be thought visionary, to an- ‘ ticipate, that a great moral revolution will be ef fected in Africa at no very distant day. The at tention of Christian nations has within a few years been directed, with more than ordinary in terest, to that long neglected and long abused 1 quarter of the world. The reports of travellers and missionaries who have explored her regions of desolation, and witnessed the dreadful degra- i dation of her inhabitants, have called upon the nations of Christendom in a language which can not be misunderstood or disregarded, to repair the wrongs and heal the wounds which, for whole ■ centuries past, they have been inflicting, with iron .hands and marble hearts, upon her suffering and defenceless population. England has al- I ready done much in the business of reparation, and she will do more. America has enlisted in j the great work with azeal and activity worthy of I her character, her intelligence and her resources ;! and we trust that the little colony which she is now planting, will flourish and expand until the 1 remotest desert where a human footstep can be traced, shall experience the redeeming influence of civilization and Christianity —until “ myriads of freemen, while they course the margin of the Gambia and the Senega), the Congo /md the Ni- * 19 ger, shall sing in the language which records the constitution, laws and history of America, hymns of praise to the common Parent of man.” In the last Missionary, we stated same partic ulars respecting a duel which recently took place near Milledgeville. From the subjoined letter, we infer that a construction has been put upon certain expressions used by us, which we were far from intending. We did say, respecting the duel, as we had been informed, that it “ took place within hearing of the town, of the capitol, and the governour’s house”—but we intended to express our views of the bold effrontery of the combattants, and not to convey an insinuation that his Excellency Governour Clark had been remiss in his duty. We are truly gratified to learn that Anderson has been arrested. The well known fact, that duelling has long been winked at, would still, in our estimation, justify the interrogation in our remarks on this af fair, “ When will,” &c. Milledgeville, Jifly 2, 1821. Gentlemen, By your last paper I see you make some obser vations on a duel that occurred near this place a few days since, and state that it was within hearing of the Governour’s house ; and that the majesty of the law should not be violated with iinpuriily. For your information, and your read ers’ also, I now state to yon that Mr. Anderson arrived here in the last mail stage, and was ar rested a few minutes after his arrival by the di rection of the Governour. I give you this information that yon may publish it, to let the people know, that his Excellency is not disposed to let the laws be insulted, the ag gressor being now bound to appear at the next court for this county. The gentleman who enclosed a Theatre Bill to the Editors of this paper from Milledgeville, is informed that his attention and politeness are du ly appreciated ; and, for his particular satisfaction, is assured, that we paid 18 3-4 cents for the favour. COMMUNICATION. Messrs. Editors, Journeying lately in the Cherokee Nation, I was favoured with an opportunity of gratifying a wish which had been long entertained, by visit ing Brainerd, with some of the other missionary stations in that country. I cannot but think a visit to that interesting spot, calculated to awa ken in the benevolent mind, some of the noblest feelings of our nature. The affirmative of the question which has here tofore been considered as problematical, whether those tawny sons of the forest can be civilized and evangelized, is becoming more and more probable by the confirmation of fact and experiment. The advancement already made in this work is by no means inconsiderable. This would appear alone, (though other things shew it) from the flourishing state of the schools and the friendly disposition generally possessed by the natives towards them. There were in the school at Brainerd, when 1 was thereabout an hundred scholars. Most of them could read in the Testament; some of them wrote a fair hand, aud several were advanced in arith | metick and geography. I was with them on the Sabbath. Their appearance was becoming in every respect. They were cleanly in their per sons, decent in their dress, and decorous, to more, methought, than an ordinary degree, in their be haviour. To the preaching of the word (which in the morning was in English, and the evening in Cher okee by an interpreter) they listened with fixed attention. Towards sunset they met a third time, to attend catechetical exercises. The ques tions, comprising the fundamental doctrines of 1 our religion, were answered with surprising promp i titude and correctness ; and, as would appear, ’ quite intelligibly to themselves. They sung many i hymns which they had committed to memory, mostly in English, but some in their native tongue. Few, it is believed, could listen to their singing without the mingled emotions of surprise and de ! light. To hear the praises of Immanuel resound ! from the tongues of the youthful descendants of ! those wild inhabitants of the woods, and that with I a melody of voice and justness of performance 1 | which can scarcely be excelled, if equalled, by | those of equal age in civilized and improved soci-j | ety ; —to hear them chant the high praises of the | j Redeemer in their own Cherokee language, that! their parents and kindred may join in the song of! Zion with the heart and understanding, must give scope, in the benevolent soul, to the exercise of feelings which princes might envy. The writer does not expect, nor design, to com municate facts unknown to the publick. But is the tone of feeling among the Christian publick in our country sufficiently elevated toward this cause of humanity ? Ought not this cause, founded on the pure principles of good will towards the abo rigines of our country, carried on through hard ships,privations and perils, and dependent for sup port on the charities of a Christian community, to receive those succours which are necessary to con duct its operations with vigour and success ? If solicitations of charity are frequent and pressing, it is to be recollected that the demands for them are not less so ; and to what use can the gifts of Heaven be better applied than in lending what is not needful for ourselves, to the Lord? Who would not think his property well disposed of, by being bestowed in charity, if he could by that means deserve to have inscribed on bis tomb stone, the epitaph of Athos of Rheims:—“ He ex ported his fortune before him into Heaven by his charities; he has gone thither to enjoy them.” ’ ForeignandDomestick Intelligence. VERY LATE FROM ENGLAND. j The ship Hercules, arrived at New York, in \ 30 days from Liverpool, has brought English pa pers to thq 17th of May. We select the following paragraphs from the N. Y. Com. Advertiser. The Church Missionary and British and Foreign , Bible Societies, had their aniversaries the second i week in May, at Free Mason’s Tavern ; the meet ings were numerously attended, and the proceed ings, as usual, highly interesting. Lord Gambler filled the chair at the former, and Lord Tejg n . mouth at the Bible Society. Christianity is -ep resented as making considerable progress in India and other parts of the heathen world. Prince Ypsilanti, who is at the head of the Greek insurrection, is a very gallant officer. He was wounded by the side of General Moreau, at the Battle of Dresden ; the same bullet that struck the General, carried away Ypsilauti’a left hand. ‘lhe Hecla, and Fury, discovery ships, and the Nautilus transport, sailed from the Nore on Tues day morning, the Bth of May, with a fine breeze S. S. W. The best wishes of their own country men, and of the friends of science, every where attend them. The papers furnish us with but few items of intelligence from the continent. In regard to Greece, accounts through Trieste state that a large armed Greek vessel had arrived there from Patras, in the Morea, for the purpose of purchasing arms and ammunition. She left Patras on the 4th of April, with statements of open war having taken place between the Turks and Greeks. A general insurrection was expected in the Morea, on the 6th of April. The Turks set fire to the Greek church in Patras, but they were compelled by the Greeks to retreat to the citadel. The bishop of Ephesus had taken the field at the head of a great body of Greeks. The Pacha of the Morea has stopped his march against Ali Pacha. The inhabitants of the lonian Islands sympathize in the Greek insurrection, particular ly those of Zante. The German journals men tion tliht several foreign officers have proceeded to Moldavia, to offer their services to Prince Ypsi lanti. There appears to be some degree of dis sention between the two chieftains in Moldavia. Theodore Wladmiskor aims only at a recovering from the Porte tiie rights formerly granted to his countrymen, while Prince Ypsilanti has for his object the complete emancipation of the Greeks. If the Porte arrange with Theodore, and set hounds to the exactions of the Hospodars, it is thought that Wallachia will be tranquillized, and that Ypsilanti will not be able to maintain himself in Moldavia. The immediate result of the union of the forces of Theodore, and those of Prince Ypsilanti, at Wallachia, was the creation of a council or gov ernment for civil administration and the supply of the army, which is said to be 60,000 strong, encamped on the banks of the Danube, near Bucharest. The decision of the council author ized the casting of the bells of the numerous mon asteries, in these districts, into cannon, and in Moldavia the first cannon were actually cast of bells of the churches. Letters from Paris of a lase date vaguely report that the insurgent Greeks had sustained a signal defeat near Bucharest, where they were unex pectedly attacked by the Turks. Austria. —Accounts received at Paris from Vi enne. to the 25th of April say, “ an Edict has ap peared, ordering the levying of 150,000 conscripts. Such a levy at this moment, after the declaration of the Marquis of Londonderry, that the Russian troops had been ordered to halt, and had not crossed the frontiers, the Liverpool Mercury says, is an unaccountable measure. Spain. —The accounts from Madrid to the 24th nit. state that on account of the movements that have taken place in the northern provinces, ex treme measures have been resorted toby the gov ernment. In the Castiles troops have been as sembled. The Empecinado was sent to disperse the insurgents in Burgos, who at Salveterra amoun ted to 400 men. At Malaga the authorities arres ted 8 suspicious persons; and at Grenada 11 per sons were put into confinement,all persons of res i pectability. At Seville,Oviedo, and other places, 1 persons of rank, chiefly connected with the eccle ! siastical establishments have been seized and im | prisoned. In Salvatierra, in the province Alba, j not far from the boundary of Navarre, the insur- I gents, consisting chiefly of fanaticks and raarau • der9 headed by friars have been dispersed ; many | of them having been killed, and many more woun ( ded. The priests have in vain attempted to raise lan insurrection in Biscay. Florida Commissioners.— The Board of Com j missionsrs for the settlement of the Florida claims, I met on the 14th inst. and adjourned to meet again ’ on the 10th of September next, then to determine ( the claims which may have been offered. Indian Outrages. —The Arkansas Gazette states; that a party of four hundred Osage Indians, headed by nine of their chiefs, appeared before Fort Scott, on the 9th of April, demanding ammu - nition and Provision. This being denied, they evinced an intention of attacking the Fort; but by the prompt display of bis artillery by Lieut. Scott, the commanding officer, they relinquished their design. They then left the fort, and com menced plundering the inhabitants in the vicinity ,of Lee’s Creek and the Pcto. No while persons have been killed, but forcible measures were re sorted to, to compel the surrender of horses, &c. ! The Osages state, that the Sacs and Foxes have joined them, and that they shortly intend to make - an attack upon the Cherokees. | The Grand Canal. —The Albany Daily Advert J tiser states that the progress made in this stupen \ dous undertaking surprises and astonishes its ad vocates and friends—enemies it has none It : advances with giant strides towards the Hudson, !to unite its waters with those of Champlain. Al ! ready it approaches the city of Schenectady, and I the excavations will soon be carried on within 5 ! miles of that oity, and progressing forward. A few weeks, and the citizens of Albany will wit ness this work commencing and progressing in their own neighbourhood, probably within the limits of the city. Twelve sail of American fishermen have been captured by a British gun brig in the Bay of Fun dy, said to be for infraction of the treaty. Notice.
