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 “ To lash the rascals naked through the world.” QfffNOTICE.

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 with the intelligence. Boston Pat. Atg.s. In corroboration of the above, a Barbados pa per of 12th July, received at Baltimore, stater that an English ship, bearing Sir G.

London, June 27th. The Queen.— We are not yet able to present to our readers her majesty’s memorial to the ser vants of liar husband ; nor are w sure U>— surer Kr. ItH-li returned. The King returned to imim j-eelerday, and Lord Liverpool is to have an interview with his Majesty this morning. As we formerly strenuously cautioned ministers against : her triul and the refusal to insert her name ill the i liturgy, we in the same manner, but with I much greater earnestness, do now urge ministers I either to desist from this ill omened project of the I coronation, or to admit the Queen to the partici pation of her just right. As to the precise course which her Majesty may adopt, should her memo-: rial be rejected, we know nothing. But she may j probably see the King ; she may throw herself in * his way, for bayonets cannot stop her, as Volum uia did that of her son. She is fully sensible of the lustre of her name ; she feels the blood of the Bruuswicks in her veins From the Portsmouth N. H. Journal, Aug. 4. 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.” From the Buffalo Patriot, July 21. 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. [lb. Commodore Barron— The National Intelligen cer states that the article from the Norfolk Herald, i relative to the confirmation of the acquittal of Com. Barron by the President, is not founded on| 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. The National Intelligencer states, that the U.S. schooner Grampus was launched from the Navy Yard at that city on Thursday last. Her rigging is all prepared, and she will soon be ready to ! scour the ocean for pirates and slave-traders. Manlius, N. Y. July 23. A young lady was escorted through this village ! on Monday by professor Tipstaff, on her way to j the county jail—for what offeuce or upon what authority we have not learnt. The only crime i that we have heard charged was, that the maiden had cast off her calicoes, crapes and Leghorns, I and assumed the Cossack pantaloons, the starch-1 j ed cravat, the dandy coat and the sugar-loaf hat!! I Nor do we see any thing worthy of bonds or death | !in ail this! The damsel has an unquestionable right to flirt in gauze and silks, or strut in buckram and boots, as best suits her fancy.
