THE MISSIONARY.
MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, AUGUST 27.
Many things which are in themselves inconsid
erable, become, by a secret and imperceptible in
fluence, cither the immediate or remote causes of
wonderful effects in society. A maxim, a ballad
or an amusement', may produce upon the minds
of men more serious aud lasting consequences,
than a code of penal statutes, or volumes of moral
instruction. The character of a people, is prob
ably less dependent on its grand national institu
tions, than on a thousand nameless things which,
by obtaining the sanctions of fashion, address
themselves to popular feeling and become inter
twined with the daily habits and business of life.
There are probably two causes which operate in
giving to these apparently inconsiderable agents
this large amount of moral effect. One is, the
human character is formed in early life, and at
this period, the mind,incapable of the higher exer
cises of comparing, übstractiug and reasoning, is
under the more immediate control of things which
are light and superficial, and which come under
the hourly inspection of the senses; —and the
other , a vast majority in every society are the
creatures of impulse rather than of rational senti
ment, and act as they are acted upon by a set of
habits which have been accumulating from earli
est childhood, and which have received their
complexion and character from a thousand little
incidents that are often overlooked in forming an
estimate of the motives which regulate human
conduct. Habits of thinking aud qeliun are soon !
formed, and when formed they are generally too
stubborn to yield to the motives of interest, the
decisions of reason or the dictates of conscience.
Nothing can be more vitally important than the
formation of early character—the intelligence and
happiness of the world are iu a thousand ways
dependent on it. The guardians of youth and
the friends of virtue and piety, should endeavour
to hedge up the avenues to destruction, and to
allure the young to the acquisition of knowledge,
and to the practice of every moral duty. Exam
ple should be supperadded to precept. The
friend of God and man should stem the torrent of
corruption and folly, and labour, in the spirit of
benevolence, to benefit the world, though he
should, by this independent course, hazard his
own popularity and draw upon himself the invec
tives of those whose prejudices are proof against
argument, and whose stubbornness never yields
to entreaty.
The present period, though often styled by way
es proud pre-eminence, the day of reform , is not
in every respect favourable to the correction of
vice and the progress of virtue. There is abroad
in the world a time-serving, cringing, electioneer
ing, and popularity-seeking spirit which exercises
art unlimited tolerance to fashionable follies and
vices, while it treats with the most despotick in
tolerance that system of pure morality which
would lay an embargo upon the lusts of men,
and assimilate earth to heaven. It is only to
apply to the censor of publick taste and morals
the appellation of bigot , and the work is done.
This character is deemed a kind of spiritual out
law, who receives no quarter. To him even the
infinite complaisance of modern refinement can
not extend. Lord Chesterfield would forbid
it. Even little boys and girls elect their tribu
nals, seat themselves upon them with unbounded
self-complacency, arraign the advocates of virtue
and decorum, and, with a spirit a little less malig
nant than that of Pilate or Caligula condemn them
indiscriminately to publick reprobation. And more
especially is this the case, if the culprits at the
bar, have had the hardihood to disapprove of any
of those idle and popular amusements by which
time and money are sacrificed, the heart cor
rupted, and the intellect converted into a barren
waste.
Should there arise among ns a character pos-
I sessing the unbending virtue of a Cato, or the
zeal and intrepidity of a Paul, subjects of animad
version would crowd upon him from every direc
tion. He could hardly fix his eye upon any point
of society without, discovering some almost expir
ing virtue to be invigorated—some extravagance
to be lopped off—some effeminating amusement
to be discountenanced—some fashion or folly to
be lashed—or some vice to be chastised with a
whip of scorpions! We cannot say where he
would commence, or where he would end. But
were he at any loss fora subject, we would, from
our sacred regard to human taste, improvement
and morals, direct his attention to the encourage
ment which the state of Georgia now gives to a
kind of theatrical exhibitions.
It IS UOL Uui llltvi.i'r... 4lv. pwonl v/oaavlan
to analyze the Drama, or to test the literary or
moral constituents of which it is c.- uposed ; nei
ther shall we dwell upon the vices of the stage as
it exists in the great and fashionable world. This
labour would far exceed our present limits. Some
future speculations, however, shall be devoted to
this fruitful theme.
The Theatre, as it exists in the back country
of Georgia, is constructed upon a small, perhaps
the severe critick might say, upon a contemptible
scale. The whole establishment, including actors,
edifices and auxiliaries, have probably never had
a parallel except in the person of Peter Quince,
his “ malt-loft,” and associates. For the exis
tence of this august and noble structure, we are
indebted to associations formed in most of our
country villages under the denomination of “Thes
pian Societies.” Their great progenitor, Thespis,
whose name they bear, is a familiar acquaintance
of the classical student. The old gentleman was
a native of Attica, in Greece, where every thing
good in ancient times originated ;and whence, ac
cording to the best modern judges, we derive most
of opr knowledge,and all our refinement. This old
man was a strolling player, moving in great splen
dour from place to place—pre-eminently elevated
in the tail of a cart, whence he Tecited choral
songs with his face well daubed with the lees of
wine. We may he permitted, in this place, in
cidentally to remark, that modem strollers have
discovered by a series of decisive experiments,
that a liberal internal application of wine itself is
far more conducive to what is styled stage-effect,
, than the most copious external anointing of lees.
Our 1 hespians, who aro the prime actors upon
“ the back country” stage, are rather a mixed
multitude, consisting of Attorney’s Clerks, who
are promising candidates for “the green-bag”— |
apprentices from behind the counter—and young;
men who never were , and probably never will be ,!
in any regular business of life—gentlemen, as it is j
sometimes expressed, who haviug no capital, live i
upon the interest of their money. But taken all
in all, they form a fine assortment for the Theatre ; I
for the Theatre we all know is a little world, and
it takes every body, or rather every kind of body
to make a world. This youthful bund have in 1
some respects a decided advantage over those
who have grown grey and wrinkled iu the service 1
of the histrionick muse. Their beards not being!
yet grown, it is perfectly easy by the addition of j
a petticoat and a fan, to supply the want of fe-1
male characters. For centuries has it been re
served for the glory of the Thespian Stage, to ex
hibit to admiring multitudes a rare combination
the union of the strength and beauty of the world.
1 he i heatrical edifices which have of late sprung
up and multiplied as by magick among us, are not
of the first order of architecture; but still they are
such as to establish incontestibly that we are iu a
state of progressive improvement. Court Houses,
which for a long time furnished the only place
where Thespians could “ strut their hour upon the
stage,” and prove themselves the legitimate des
cendants of father Thespis, are now generally
abandoned ; and Edifices consecrated to the
1 ragick and Comick .Muses open their doors, and
r —i i.cuinviting benches to the admirers or
the Drama. Some of these buildings might, from
their present appearance, have once been livery
stables, and some certainly were gin-houses, so !
that where the lazy mule lately trod nis destin
ed circle, and the cog-wheels and saw-gin
“ bray’d horrible discord,” may now be heard the
majestick tread of the beardless hero, and the
enrapturing strains of tragick poeiry. From the
recent multiplication of these little theatres, we
have reason to believe, that every country village
will soon be furnished ; so that every pin-feather
ed actor may flap his wings and crow majestically
upon the pinnacle of his own dung bill.
But the Thespians have their auxiliary corps.
A fresh recruit of strolling actors have arrived
among us, some of them having come all the way
from Europe, and bringing with them all the vir
tues of the Old World to graft upon the native
stock of our own country. The influence of such
men, (and perhaps they have some women among
their baggage) must be in the highest degree sal
utary in promoting the intelligence, virtue and
refinement of our growing population. The Thes
pian Societies, from the intimacy which they may
enjoy with these instructors and patrons of mo
rality, must reap a rich reward, and make rapid
strides towards perfection. In the ardour of our
own anticipations, we can hardly predict less than
that some who have heretofore never suffered
their most sanguine aspirings to soar higher than
the Bar, will leave the dulness of Blackstone to
puzzle dunces, and make a final exchange of the
green-bag for the buskin. Perhaps our readers
are not generally apprized of the fact, that these
strollers, who are liberally supported by the pub
lick, are capable of making wonderful exhibitions.
One of them has recently appeared to the
admiration of a brilliant audience, in the charac
ter of a monkey —exhibiting tail and all as large as
life. The name of the monkey he personated we
do not recollect, but believe if was some distin
guished character. We have been credibly- in
formed, however, that the actor did ample justice
to the meriis of his deceased brother. Had Lord
Monboddo been present, he would, no doubt,
have been confirmed in his profound philosophi
cal speculation, that men are only monkies that
have rubbed off their tails.
We will barely add, that if success be any cri
terion of merit, this wandering band have the most
unquestionable pretensions. In every place they
have met with a liberal patronage—such as an in
telligent arid virtuous people should ever afford
those who spend their lives in endeavouring to
make them wise and good. The plan which they
have adopted of exhibiting at the Courts, and es
pecially as they are to perform in conjunction
with the Thespians, and that too, six nights in
the week, must be productive of the finest effects
The Bench and Bar, and all the great ones, if they
feel disposed, can attend—our young men will
find their virtuous sensibilities strengthened—and
those who are destined for the Law, will be rap
idly qualified for their profession, especially by
the exhibition of Farces —and the players will
obtain money to support them in their useful and
virtuous course. Under the influence of these
considerations if the publick withhold their pat
ronage, they might as well renounce at once
their pretensions to taste, virtue and refinement.
They might as well openly join those bigoted mor
tals who would treat strolling players no better
than pcdlers, and prohibit their peregrinations by
law ; —who would

DEATH OF BONAPARTE.
By Mr. Hodges, who came passenger in the
Ruby, arrived at this poit from St. Jago, Cape de
j Verd Islands, we are inftrmed, that while at Fort
Fraya, he met the late Governour of the Isle of
Bourbon, who had recerily arrived there, and was
mformed by him, that \a his passage from the
Isle ol Bourbon to Fort lraya, he stopped off St.
Helena, where all commiiicatiou with the place
was refused. The boarding officer of the Eng
lish squadron also declined giving any answers to
inquiries made relative to Bonaparte. The vessel
iu which the governour was a passmger, after
wards touched at Ascension, (about the 20th
day) where they fell in with Sir Geor-m Collier
who stated that Bonaparte died on theijth May*
and that he had despatched a gun brig toFlnelaud

The Sea Serpent. —On Thursday afternoon
about 4 o’clock, as Mr. Samuel Duncan, of New
castle (an inspector employed in the Custom-
House of this port,) was engaged in fishing near
the entrance of this harbour, he saw the Sea-Ser
pent lying asleep on the water, about a quarter of
a mile from Bush Island. He at first supposed it to
be a large log floating on the water : but oil ap- |
proaching within about one hundred.yards, the j
serpent immediately moved, with great rapidity to- i
wards tiie west, aud approached near to Odiorne’s j
Point. In his motion through the water he shew-!
ed five bunches at a time, about five feet apart;
presenting the appearance of five porpoises follow
ing each other in a right line. He was seen dis
tinctly, while going about a mile and a half. When
he came near Odiorne’s Point he turned, & made
j towards the shoals. Mr. Duncan was in a whale
boat, accompanied by his son about 18 years old,
and by Mr. Jonathan Vennard, who both saw the
serpent.
About 6 o’clock the same afternoon, Mr. Dun
can was hailed by a man in another boat, who di
rected his attention towards the south, where he ;
again saw the serpent about half a m ; le distant, ap- i
proaching the boat in which Mr. Duncan was.
The Serpent came directly towards the boat, and i
approached within 40 feet of the stern ; when he
suddenly changed his course, and went off towards ‘•
York Ledge.
Mr. Duncan is confident that the animal he saw i
was entirely different from any which he had ever!
seen before ; —and he represents himself to be 1
well acquainted with the appearance of the differ- j
ent kinds of Whales, Porpoises, and Sharks, as 1
w ell as of Horse-Mackerels. The animal he saw !
had no appearance of any fins. The first time ;
the serpent was seen, he was insight about half an \
hour, and by the rapidity of his motions appear
ed to be alarmed ; but the second time, he contin
ued moving in different directions, near the boat,
as much as an hour.
03” The above relation is taken from Mr. Dun
can himself, who is ready, if required, to make
affidavit of its truth.
In reference to the above, the editor of the N.
Y. Commercial Advertiser observes :
“ Those who profess to be wiser than the gene
rality of mankind, may affect to disbelieve the ex
istence of these large serpents, and even laugh at
our credulity if they please ; but we are as fully
convinced of the fact of their existence,
as we are of the best attested truths of natural his
tory. Iu corroboration of our opinion, and of the
many accounts that have been published, we are
informed that about 15 years ago, the remains of
a Sea-Serpent were found among the rocks on the
coast of Shetland, one of the Scottish isles; the
animal had gone on shore, and having got entan
gled among the numerous rocks which bound these
romantick shores, dashed itself to pieces in at
tempting to escape. Some gentlemen from Ed
inburgh, on learning the lircumstance proceeded
to the spot, from which they conveyed the back
bone of the Serpent, measuring about 40 feet, to
the Museum in that city, where, we believe, it
may now be seen. .Dr. Mitchell has now in his
possession a scaly snake or serpent 18 inches long,
which Is considered by naturalist as the ojvoivn a f j
the spieces in question.”

The American Agents, Surveyors and party
! employed in running the boundary line between
this country and the British possessions in Canada,
under the 6th article of the Treaty of Ghent, ar
rived on Saturday last, at Black Rock, in the
schooner Hannah, having completed the surreys
under that article.
We learn the surveyors will be engaged for
several weeks in the neighbourhood of this place,
in completing their maps, &c. after wMch a
meeting of the Board for a final decision and re
port under this article, will take place in Utica.
We anticipate with much interest, the publica
tion of the correct and splendid charts which this
survey will furnish, of all the navigsble waters,
channels and bays between St. Regis, on the St.
Lawrence, and Lake Superiour; embracing an
extent of more than 1000 miles, aad comprehend
ing, as we are informed, not less than 2500 isl
ands. These islands, many of which contain
from 10,000 to 100,000 acres of land, and are ex
tremely valuable, wi/1- be divided by the commis
sioners, and it is to be hoped that the two gov
ernments will immediately take possession of
such as may fall to them respectively, and put
them in a train for sale and settlement, by which
means we shall get rid of the hordes of smugglers
and reiiegndoes who now infest many of them.
The Rev. Dr. Morse passed through this place
last week, on his way to Canada.
The golden age, the iron age, and we believe
the fighting age have passed away, and we think
the present age may be with propriety styled the
reading age. Almost all the packet ships out of
New York have been furnished with useful libra
47
ries for seamen and passengers, and we learn that
the steam-boats Connecticut and Fulton, on the
Sound, have been furnished with well chosen li
braries of five hundred volumes. We hope the i
example may be generally followed. [ Georgian.
u The editors of the New York Evening Journal,
have received a letter from New Orleans, the
writer of which apprehends that the arrangements i
made by the national executive for the territorial
government of the Florida?, will induce General
Jackson to resign his office.”
T he above paragraph is copied from the Phila
delphia ÜBion. Not having seen the “ Evening
Journal,” we are unable, however anxious, to j
learn the grounds of complaint, entertained by
General Jackson. It is added
“ Having promised to abstain from party poll
ticks, the editors ftel that they cannot give pub*
licity to the important facts their correspondent
communicates, without passing the boundary
they have prescribed for themselves ; but if the
individuals appointed to office in Florida, are so
very exceptionable, both in regard to talents and
character, as the letter writer intimates, the truth
ought to be known to the people. The office
hollers must be of a very singular description, in
deed, if a man of General Jackson’s decision of
character cannot keep them in order.”
If the editors are in possession of information of
so interesting a character to the publick, why do
they net publish it—if not in their own, in some
other of the newspapers which would do it ? We
are certain that there are many who would not
be so scrupulous in the discharge of their duty.

U. Slates’ Cadets. —A battalion of U. S. Cadets
composed of students from the Military Academy
at West Point, under the command of Major
Worth, arrived in Boston on the 7th inst. They
were met at the southern barrier by the municipal
officers, attended by a cavalcade of citizens, and
conducted to their place of encampment on the
common. Salutes were fired, and refreshments
furnished by the town authorities. The rank and
, file, and musicians of this corps, amount to 285 ;
• and every one of them who left West Point wellj
’ was in good health when the corps entered Boston,
’ after a march of 200 miles, over a mountainous
country, and having for the most part of the time,
very bad weather. “ One of the youths of the
excellent corps, now our guests [says a Boston
paper] is a son of the celebrated chief of the
Creek nation, well known for his martial achieve
ments, and attachment to the cause of the U. S.
The cadet’s name is David Maniac, from Alaba
ma.” The discipline of the cadets while at the
academy is extremely rigid. Ten months are de
voted to various studies, two of which to the study
of tacticks exclusively; they are excluded from all
society except that of the corps. Two rich and
; elegant Standards were to be presented to the
j corps by the Selectmen, at the State House, in
: presence of the Governour and other State and
municipal officers. The discipline and correct
j deportment of these youth, who are to compose
the future officers of our army, are spoken of in
terms of the highest admiration.
