Permit ut, dear brethren, before we close
our Report, to offer a tribute of praise to
our adorable Saviour, who bas mercifully
supported ui; and enabled us to undergo
with pleasure all that has been assigned us
to do, and we confidently believe that he
has been with us ; not only at our meetings j
in the Cherokee nation, but a door has thus!
been opened to preach to a great many i
very destitute immortals, the unsearchable j
yiches of Christ, on the frontiers, whose
houses have been opened to us, their tables
.spread, and their hearts deeply affected
with a sense of their lost estate. “ The
Lord hath done great things for us, whereof
we are glad.”

TO THE CHRISTIAN PUBLICK.
Address of the Sarepta Mission Society to all the
Associations, Churches, Charitable Societies,
and Individuals, who feel an anxiety for the
prosperity of the Redeemer’s Kingdom.
Dear Brethren ,
With peculiar pleasure we unfold to you
the feelings of our hearts, and relate the
prospects now presenting themselves to our
view. We feel certain that what the Lord
bath promised he will also perform. The
solitary place is already glad for the chil
dren of God, and the desert begins to blos
som as the rose. Nearly 60 Cherokees,
now under the immediate care of our
denomination, are now in pursuit of an ed
ucation which bids fair to prepare them for
usefulness in this life, and happiness in the
world to come, by faith in Christ Jesus, as
the sum of those Scriptures they are now
learning to read. Our brethren of other
denominations are also anxiously and pros
perously engaged in this labour of love, and
we feel hopeful, dear brethren and friends,
that a number of you are ready to come up
to the help of the Lord against the mighty,
if yon could only know what way you could
contribute, so that your bounty might
answer the desired purpose. Arrange
ments are now made to bring about that
end as Easily as possible. We have just
time to say, let gs rise up and work, for the
Lord is with us. Let us go up at once and
possess the promised land, for we are well
able to overcome it. Not by might, nor
by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord,
who has always made use of means to bring
about his great designs, hiding those im
mense treasures in earthen vessels, that the
excellency of the power may he of God and
not of us. We wish do one to be burthen
ed, but do conscientiously believe, that if
every friend of the Redeemer would con
tribute a small mite, there would soon be
the greatest plenty to carry on this work of
Indian education and civilization to an ex
tent unparalleled. And shall we call in
vain to those who have tasted that the Lord
isgracious to aid in imparting the knowledge
of this Redeemer to the wretched children
of the forest, who are perishing for the
lack of that knowledge ? While you re-;
member it is more blessed to give than to re - j
ceive, we trust our prayers are reciprocal,
while we all say, “ Tby Kingdom come.”
We are yours in the bonds of Christian love.
ISAM GOSS, President.

MAMMOTH CUCUMBER. w
We have teen a cucumber which grew in the
garden of Mr. Park, near Eatonton, Putnam co.
which measured One foot and eight inches in
length, and one foot one inch and a half in cir
cumference, in the largest part. It is aaid to be
a species remarkable both for site and numbers.
It is of a very light colour, and rather smoother
than the common green cucumber, and equally
i good for table use. The one we saw and measur
> ed, is said to be by no means the largest produced
upen the vines the present year.
The subjoined narrative was received a few
days since by mail, accompanied by a request that
we should insert it in our paper. Printers ofnews
papers, particularly in the Southern States, are
likewise requested to give it publicity.
Narrative of Nelly Wolf, of the Cherokee
Nation.
My mother, as lam told, was a native of Vir
ginia, but what part exactly, 1 am unable to say,
though I have been told that she lived perhaps on
Reed or Reedy Creek, or on the Shenandoah riv
er ; that she was the wife of Henry Bailey of the
above named state ; that, she was taken captive
by the Indians, but I know not by what tribe,
whether by the Northern or Southern Indians. I
am told she was pregnant with me uvheu taken,
and also informed by those of my acquaintance,
that she was applied for and carried back to Vir
ginia. The Indians contended that 1 was an In
dian, being bom in the nation, and would not let
me go. 1 was raised by Peggy Hamilton, a half
breed Indian woman, who was the wife of Bob
Lovett, a half-breed, and son of John Lovett, an
Englishman. My adopted mother, viz. Peggy ;
Hamilton, sent me to school at S. W. Point to a
Mr. George Wolf, and also to George Nully, who
taught school on Tennessee River, about 25 miles
above Dettos’s landing, and ten miles from what
is now Huntsville. The time I went to school
was from nine years old to fifteen. I learned to
read the Bible well, and was so fond of reading it
that I often lay out in the woods,perusing that and
other books, and did not incline to do any thing
else ; and was often hunted for many hours, when
I wa9 hardly out of sight. The Indians at last
concluded that I was somewhat delirious, and as
I had none to instruct me in the doctrines I read,
1 know not but what it was the case. An Indian
who is since dead, viz. Dick Brown, burnt my Bi
ble and other books, among which were Watts’s
Hymn Book, and the Baltimore Hymn Book, to
gether with some volumes of History. I also went
three months to a singing school, to one John Ui
-7 a). who taught musick in the vicinity of what is
now Huntsville. Polly Brown, a half-breed, and
Nancy and Sally Thompson, quarteroons, daugh
ters of Jackson Thompson also went to said John
Dial. We all made considerable proficiency in
the art of musick, but Dick Brown burnt my mu
sick book also. For lack of books I have nearly
forgotten all my education, though 1 can still read
a little if I had a book. I saw a spelling-book
lately in the hands of an Indian, and tried to ob
tain it, but he would not let me have it. I was,
early after grown, agreeably to the Indian mode,
wedded to Samuel Rutcliffe, a half breed, but he
soon died. I was then, in the same way, wedded
to Wat Roe, by whom I had one child, and who
was killed by Bright’9 negro on the High Tower.
I was afterwards wedded, a third time, to my pres
ent husband, George Wolf, an Indian, by whom I
have three children, all boys, one of which is now
at school not far distant from the Stone Mountain.
Part of the first circumstances of my life, I learn
ed from those who said they had them from a Wal
ter Scott, who said he knew the circumstances of
my mother’s captivity, and was her half brother.
He died in the Nation before my recollection.
He said my father, during my mother’s captivity,
married another woman, and that my father,Hen
ry Bailey, had two brothers, namely, George and
Abram. lam now living with my present hus
band, George Wolf, an Indian, 30 miles from the
Standing Peach Tree, on the waters of High Tow
er river, Crawfish town, a near neighbour to Dick
Scott, a son of the before named Walter Scott.
I have now given as concise a history of my
life as I can, from the information that I have had,
and from what knowledge I have, by experience,
of myself. Though (here are other reports of my
existence, yet 1 am led to believe the foregoing
are the most to be depended on. lam convinced j
(hat I am a while woman, and the Indians them
selves now agree that 1 am, although by being used
to the customs of the nation, I am much sun
burnt. I have a very sincere desire to
father, if yet alive, or any of my relationdHpd
would willingly exchange a savage life for aSril
ized one. If any of my relations would think
proper to come for me, there would be no difficul
ty in receiving me and my children.
The above narration was given to J.M.C. Mont
gomery and Thomas Dobbs, at the Standing
Peach Tree, Henry County, 30th July, 1821.
N. B. Two days afterwards I sent her a Testa
ment, with a request that she would read ten
chapters every Sabbath. She observed, while
giving her narrative, that she was very desirous to
be instructed in the doctrines of the Christain re
ligion. I enjoined on her to read the book that I
would send her, and told her if we never met in
this world again, te meet me in Heaven.

FROM ENGLAND.
The ship Tuscarora arrived at this port last
evening, from Liverpool, which she left on the 3d
of July. By this arrival we have received Bil
lings’s Liverpool Advertiser, of Tuesday, July 3,
latest paper brought. It contains very little of an
interesting nature.
Jassy and Bucharest were in the bands of the
Turks, and prince Ypsilanti, who still remained |
at Tergoviz with 19,000 men, was on the eve of!
being attacked by the united forces of Hadschi
Achmet Pacha and Jussef Pacha of Ibrailnw. The i
Greek inhabitants of Bucharest had been disarm- i
ed. Patrass has been almost totally destroyed by i
the Turks, and the inhabitants executed in great i
numbers. The Greeks have, however, a decided i
superiority over the Turks at sea. They have
captured a great number of Turkish vessels, and l
put the whole of their crews to death, amounting ‘
to about 5,000 men ; no quarter appears to be .
given by either Greeks or Turks. Accounts from |
Constantinople of 25th May, state the return of i
comparative tranquillity; but the arrests contin
ued. The Grand Seignior had succeeded in re
pressing the seditious tumults of the Janissaries,
by threatening to send them the head of his son,
who is heir to the throne, and then burying him
self under the ruins of.the Seraglio.
A large Greek ship, having on board a vast j
quantity of arms and munitions of war, and bound
to the Morea, to the assistance of the Greek in
surgents there, was fallen in with by the English
frigate Revolutionaire, Capt. Pelew, and ordered
to surrender. An engagement took place. The
English had fonr men killed and several wounded.
The Greek ship was captured and carried into
Zante. In consequence of this event the British
government have ordered two additional sloops
of war and several of the best regiments to pro
ceed immediately to the lonian Islands, whose
inhabitants are said to have a strong itching te
make common cause with the other Greeks.
It was expected Parliament would he proro
gued on the 10(h July, to make preparations for
the coronation.
FROM SIERRA LEONE.
From thcNorfold Herald,Aug. 15.
In the schooner Emeline, from Martinique,
came passengers Mr. and Mrs. Bacon, who went
out with the colony of coloured people to the
coast of Africa, from this port, in January last.
They left Sierra Leone the 16th of June, in an
English vessel, bound to Barhadoes, whence they
proceeded to Martinique, to procure a passage to
the United States. The agents of the colony had
succeeded in purchasing from the natives a traet
of Land, between 30 and 40 miles square, to lee
ward of Sierra Leone, and in about 5 or 6 degrees
of N. latitude. The situation was believed to be
very favourable for the contemplated settlement,
and as healthy as any spot along the coast—the
i land fertile, aud supplying abundance of good
, water. The colony were to take possession of
! their new territory immediately after the rainy
! season. We learn that the colonists had general
t ly been healthy, and were perfectly satisfied with
i their prospects. One of them has returned with
! Mr. Bacon, but will accompany him back on his
1 return to Africa—of the precise period of which
| we are not informed.
Mr. Bacon and his lady had both suffered from
ill health, which, a* we understand, was the prin
cipal cause of theitreturn to the U. States.
Another of the Alligators’ prizes, in charge of
midshipman Hossack, has been recaptured by
the prisoners, who being allowed to come upon
deck for the benefit of fresh air, rose upon the
prize crew. She was carried to Cayenne, where
the Americans were treated as privateersmen ;
nor could the publick authorities be convinced
that they belonged to the United States’ service,
but sent them off as prisoners to Martinique, to
be conveyed to the United States in a French
ship of war.
It was apprehended that another prize to the
Alligator had been retaken, as she was seen by
the vessel in which Mr. Bacon left Sierra Leons,
returning towards the coast.
It is evident from the recapture of two (and
possibly three) of the Alligator’s prizes, that the
naval force employed by our government for the
suppression of the slave trade, is not adequate to
the purpose. Small vessels, it is true, are indis
pensable ; but they cannot carry men enough to
put a sufficient prize crew on board each vessel
they capture ; therefore it would perhaps be ad
viseable to send a sloop of war and a schooner in
company.
Mr. Bacon brings intelligence confirming the
account, via Boston and St. Thomas, of the death
of Napoleon. The news had been brought direct
to Sierra Leone from the Island of Ascension,
where it was received by a British gun brig from
St. Helena. He is stated by this account to
have died of a cancer in the breast.
New York, Aug. 13.
Bonaparte's death confirmed. —Capt. West, of
the schooner Moxa, arrived at the quarantine
ground, last evening, from Bassaterre, Guada
loupe, states that just before he sailed, a British
frigate arrived there with despatches, announcing
the death of Bonaparte. No particulars had been
promulgated, and the frigate, after remaining half
an hour at the port, got uuder weigh, and pro
ceeded to leeward.
Capt. Harris, of the ship America, arrived from
St. Petersburg!), informs us, that a few days be
’ fore he sailed, between 30 and 40,000 troops had
| marched from St. Petersburg!)—destination un
known. The Emperour Alexander arrived the
day before Capt. H. sailed.
New York, Aug. 4.
A remark made yesterday by his honour the
Recorder, in his charge, to the jury on an indict
ment for keeping a disorderly house, 19 worthy
the serious reflection of gamblers:—“ Mark it
where you will, in ninety-nine cases out of the
hundred, the gambler goes through life poor, and
to the grave destitute and degraded.”
Savannah, Aug. 23.
Fire! —On Tuesday night, about 11 o’clock,
the alarm of Are was given in this city, which was
discovered to prooeed from a back building in the
rear of Col. Flournoy’s dwelling house, on Bolton
square. The progress of the flames was rapid ;
but fortunately the wind was light, which pre
vented the fire from involving a great portion of
that part of our city in destruction. It was not
however arrested until it had destroyed eleven
buildings; most of which were small, and situ
ated on the lane. Among the buildings des
troyed, were the dwelling house, kitchen and
stable of F. Korman, on Abercorn street; a house
and kitchen occupied by Mr. Turell, on the lane,
and the wash house, kitchen dnd stable of CoJ.
Flournoy. The remaining houses on the lane
were occupied by negroes. In addition to the
above, two small houses, one on the corner of
Abercorn and Market streets, occupied by Mrs.
Eyrick, and another on Market street were pulled
down to stop the progress of the flames. The
out bouse in which the fire originated, and the
dwelling house to which it was attached, were
unoccupied, and it must, therefore, have been
the work of an incendiary. We understand that
Mr. Kortman’s property is insured. The exer
tions of the citizens, and different fire companies,
are deserving of every prais?.
The following account of the disinterring the re
mains of Major Andre, was handed us by an
eye witness,accompanied by his request to pub
lish the same. [JY. Y. Ev. Post.
“ This event took place at Tappan, on Friday,
10th inst. at 1 P. M. amidst a considerable con
course of ladies and gentlemen that assembled to
witness this interesting ceremony. The British
Consul, with several gentlemen, accompanied by
the proprietor of the ground, and his labourer,
commenced their operations at 11 o’clock, by re
moving tbe heap of loose stones that surrounded
and partly covered the grave. Great caution
1 was observed in taking up a small peach tree that
! grew out of the grave, as the Consul stated his
intention of sendiogit toliis Majesty to be placed
in one of the Royal Gardens. Considerable anx
iety was felt lest tne coffin would not be found,
as various rumours existed of its having been re
moved many years ago. However, when at the
depth of three feet, the labourers came to it.
The lid was broken in the centre and had partly
fallen in, but was kept up by resting on the skull.
The lid being raised, the skeleton of the brave
Andre appeared entire ; bone to bone, each in its
place, without a vestige of any other part of his
remains, save some of his Fair, which appeared
51
in small tufts; and the only part of his dress was
the leather string that tied it. As soon as the
curiosity of the spectators was gratified, a large
circle was formed, when Mr. Eggleso, the under
taker, with his assistants, uncovered the sarcoph
agus, into which the remains were carefully remo
ved. This superb depository, in imitation of
those used in Europe, for the remains of the illus
trious dead, was made by Mr. Eggleso, of Broad
way, of mahogany, the pannels covered With rich
crimson velvet, surrounded by a gold bordering:
the rings of deep burnished gold, the pannel also
crimson velvet, edged with gold, the inside lined
with black velvet, the whole supported by four
gilt balls.
The sarcophagus with the remains, have been
removed on board his Majesty’s Packet, where it
is understood as soon as some repairs on board
are completed, an opportunity will be afforded of
viewing it.”
Augusta, Aug. 30.
Don't eat their Butter !—An intelligent gen
tleman gave us the following information:—A few
months ago, he visited the upper parts of South-
Carolina, where he learned from several respecta
ble sources, that, owing to some particular grass
or shrub which the cows fed on, the milk became
poisonousftnd the butter made from it more viru
lent than the milk. Entire families had been car
ried off by its use, before the fatal truth became
known. •
At a house where this gentleman happened to
call, he saw several of the unhappy wretches,
who, though they had escaped death, their situa
tions were horrible to behold, from the use of this
pernicious food ; and to his utter astonishment he
found, that they still continued its use. “ We,”
said his hostess, “ have become usen to it, sir;
and where it kills one of us, it kills ten in Augus
ta !”
This is no hoax, and the prudent will lay it to
heart.
Charleston, Aug. 20.
From Nassau. —By the arrival yesterday after
noon of H. B. M. schr. Speedwell, Lieut. Geary,
in 7 days from Nassau, we have received a file of
the Royal Gazette to the 11th inst. inclusive.
We find nothing of particular importance, unless
it be the following paragraph, which may be con
sidered as confirming the tvent to which it relates.
The Amphitrite was from London, bound to Ja
maica, where she arrived on the 13th ult.— Cour.
Death of Bonaparte.- -The Amphitrite was
boarded on the 23d of June, by the East-India
ship Winchelsea, Capt. Adamson, from China,
last from St. Helena, bound to London, which
communicated the above intelligence. Captain
Adamson stated that Bonaparte died on the sth
of May, of a cancer in the stomach ; was laid out
in state till the 9th, when his remains were inter
red with military honours. In consequence
thereof, the port of St. Helena was thrown open
to American vessels,”
Savannah, Aug. 25.
Tornado and Hail Storm. —On the evening of
the 22d inst. a tornado, accompanied with hail,
thunder and lightning, was experienced at Tybee
Island, which blew down the north-west wing of
the United States’ Barracks, and destroyed many
of the panes of glass in the lanthorn of the light
house, and several in tbe house of the keeper of
the light. The glass in the lanthorn is manufac
tered expressly for the purpose, and is about four
times the thickness of common glass. Some of the
hail is said to have been an inch in diameter
Admission of Missouri. —The President has is
sued his Proclamation, declaring that Missouri,
having complied with' the fundamental condition
prescribed by Congress, her admission into the
Union as a free, sovereign and independent state,
is complete.
We understand the keel of a national ship is
ready to be laid at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia
which is expected to be the largest armed ship in
the world, by having three entire tiers of guns, be
sides those on the quarter deck and forecastle, in
ail 140 guns.
A cargo suited to Hard Times !
The 9hip Sachem, arrived at Boston from Can
ton, brought out 3913 chests of tea, 2325 pieces of
crape, 1750 crape shawls, 850 pieces sarsnets,
100 ps. Florentines, 650 ps. senshaw, and a large
quantity of raw silks and other valuable merchan
dize. Os what a vast amount of specie must the
country have been drained to pay for these arti
cles of luxury which might be so easily dispensed
with.
The Columbus 74 was absent 15 months, and
from a crew of 800 men lost only six, 2 by casual
ty, 2 by consumption, and 2 by fever. The
perfect state of cleanliness in which our vessels of
war are kept is much to the praise of the service.
They would not suffer by a comparison in this res
pect with the houses of our best farmers.
