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.” Expenses of the School at Tensawattee.

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. C. J. Jenkins, Secretary, 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. J. M. C. Montgomery.

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. A Swindler. — Tbe Intelligencer states, that a person who calls himself Tinsley, and an agent of tbe General Post-Office, has been travelling in the states south of Washington,for two or three months past, and has obtained several credits and sums of money. The person is nearly 5 feet 10 inches high, sandy hair, light complexion, rather high cheek bones, stout built, and appeared to be near ly 40 years old.
