POETRY.
STANZAS,
WRITTEN DURING SICKNESS.
I’vß plung’d in evety wild extreme,
That yftuth and youthful folly knowi;
I’m tatted deeply of the stream
.That round the shrine of pleasure flows ;
And like the Bee, from flower to flower,
Sipping each sweet, I’ve wander’d free:
Yet never found I earthly power,
Domestics Love ! compar’d to thee I
Sweeter than passion's fever’d sigh,
Dearer than pleasure’s faiiy dream:
Before thee all life’s sorrows fly,
JUike. mists before the morning beam!
Thou only canst the roses fling
That makes life’s rugged pathway fflest,
And scatter from thy downy wing
That peace which heals the wounded breast
It is not in the revel loud,
At Mirth or Fashion’s midnight shrine,
Where rival beauties thronging crowd,
That Love asserts its power divine ;
’Tis when the tortur’d frame is torn
By all the pangs disease can give ;
’Mid anguish scarcely to be borne,
Its smile can bid the sufferer lire !
Domes tick Love !—thy hand can shed
Soft opiates o’er the burning brow;
And round the couch of sickness spread
Those soothing hopes that cheer me now !
Yes ! let the libertine deride
As priestcraft, wedlock’s silken chain,
But tell me, has he ever tried
Its power, in sorrow or in pain ?
And thou, who in life’s summer hour,
Taught my young bosom to believe
Marriage an arbitrary power,
Invented only to deceive ;
Who saidst, “ At sight of human ties,
“ Made for the base and slavish mind,
“ The rosy god affrighted flits,
“ Nor leaves one ray of bliss behind.’’
Oh ! didst thou know how false, how vain,
This doctriue es thy heart will prove ;
Thou’dst own that Hymen’s fancied chain
Is the true bondage wove by love !
For where two youthfol hearts unite,
And own one faith, one fate, one name,
Think not Love’s torch will bum less bright,
Though Reason sanctifies the flame!
MISCELLANY.
NAVAL ACTION.
The following relation of one of the most despe
rate naval conflicts on record, is from Botta's
History of the American Revolution, lately
translated from tbe Italian by an American gen
tleman.
Paul Jones, a Scotchman by birth, but
engaged in the service of the United States,
had established his cruise at first in tbe seas
of Ireland, and afterwards those of Scotland,
where he was waiting for an opportunity
to make some prize, or, according to his
practice, to land upon some point of the,
coast in order to sack tbe country. His
flotilla was composed of the Bonhomme
Richard of 40 guns, the Alliance of3C>,bolh
American ships; the Pallas, French fri
gate of 32, in the pay of Congress, with
two other smaller vessels. He fell in with
a British merchant fleet on its return from
the Ballick, convoyeJ by Capt. Pearson,
with the frigate Serapisof 44 guns, and the
Countess of Scarborough of 20.
Pearson had no sooner perceived Jones,
than he bore down to engage him, while
the merchantmen endeavoured to gain the
coast. The American flotilla formed to re
ceive him. Tbe two enemiesjoined battle
about 7 in. the evening, with great resolu
tion, and the conflict was supported on both
sides with equal valour. The Serapis had
the advantage ofmetal'and manoeuvre ; to
obviate which Jooes took the resolution to
fight her closer. He advanced till the two
frigates were engaged yard to yard, aud
Iheir sides so near that the muzzles of their
guns came in contact. In this position they
continued to fight from eight in the evening
till ten, with an audacity bordering on fren
zy. But the artillery of the Americans
was no longer capable of producing much
effect. The Richard having received sev
eral heavy shot between wind and water,
was incapable of using her lower batteries,
and two or three of her upper guns had
burst, to the destruction of those who serv
ed them. Jones at length bad only three
left that could be worked, and he employed
them against the mats of the hostile frig
ate. Seeing the little impression made by
chain-shot, he resorted to another mode of
attack. He threw a vast quantity of gre
nades and fireworks on board tbe British
frigate. But his own now admitted the
water on all sides, and threatened every
moment to go to the bottom. Some of his
oflU"rs having perceived it, asked him if
he Would surrender. “NTo,”he answered
tlx m in a tremendous tone, and continued
to ; u-h the grenades. The Serapis was
already on fire in several places ; the Eng
lish could with difficulty extinguish the
fliraes. Finally they caught a cartridge,
which, in an instant, fired all the others
with a horrible explosion. All who stood
near the helm were killed, & all the cannon
of that part were dismounted. Meanwhile
Pearsou was not disheartened ; he ordered
his people to board. Paul Jones prepared
himself to repulse them. The English in
jumping on board him, found the American
prepared to receive them on the point of
their pikes—they made the best of their
way back to their own vessel. But during
tbis interval the fire had communicated it
self from the Serapis to the Bonhomme
Richard,and both were a jmv to the flames.
No peril could shake these desperate meh.
The night wa3 dark, the Combattants could
no longer see each other but by the blaze
of the conflagration, and through dense
volumes of smoke, while the sea was illu
minated afar. At this moment the Ameri
can frigate Alliance came up. Amidst the
confusion she discharged her broadside into
the Richard, and killed a part of her re
maining defenders. As soon as she discov
ered her mistake, she fell with augmented
fury upon the Serapis. Then the vaiiant
Englishman seeing a great part of hie crew
cither killed or disabled, hie artillery dis-
mounted, his reflsel dismayed, and quite
enveloped in flames, surrendered. All
joined to extinguish the fire, and at length
it was accomplished. The efforts made to
stop the numerous leaks of the Richard
proved less fortunate ; she sunk the next
morning. Out of 375 men that were on
board that vessel, 300 were killed or wound
ed. The English had but 49 killed, and
their wounded amounted to no more than
68. History perhaps offers no example of
an action more fierce, obstinate and san
guinary. During this time the Pallas had
attacked the Countess of Scarborough, and
had captured her, not, however, without a
stubborn resistance. After a victory so
hard earned, so deplorable, Jones wander
ed with his shattered vessel for some days,
at the mercy of the winds in the north sea.
He finally made his way good on the 6lh of
Oct into the waters ofthe Texel.
YELLOW FEVER.
“ It is a solemn and greatly
fact, that in New-Orleans, the disease at
different seasons of infection varies so much,
that what wasaspecitick last year, May this
year assist the deadly operation of the mal
ady. This circumstance has placed the
most eminent physicians in a perplexing
situation, and renders the application of
their skill so uncert.iM of a salutary effect,
that they arc fearful of applying what was
a cure in one case, to that cf another, lest
it shoal'd have a deleterious operation. In
consequence of this difference in the nature
of the disease, and the variety of treatment
it requires, the medical gentlemen, whose
humanity and zeal have led Ihem into (he
most profound research for a specific!,,
have almost despaired of finding it, altho, J
as Rush expresses it, Providence has, doubt
less, bountifully commanded (be earth to
produce a remedy for every disease which
sin has brought into the world. Perhaps
a specifick was last year, in Nerv-Orlean?,
discovered,to arrest the progress of Yellow ‘
Fever — Charcoal! —A resident Physician,
from Virginia, whose humanity and zealous
benevolence in the cause of the suffering ‘
victim are above panegyrick, was led to try
the charcoal in cases where death seemed <
inevitable, by reading the declaration of its i
efficacy in stopping excessive bleeding, by 1
a Spanish author. Its power of arresting
putrefaction is generally known; but its ap
plication to the stomach is not. The dis
covery and its effect were not known, un- ‘
fortunately, until the fever had abated; and 1
I shall now merely mention one or two ca
ses, among a number of others where char- ■
coal snatched the patient from the very
brink of the grave. The first was upon a !
female, upon whom black vomiting was ex- :
ercising its fatal potency, insomuch, that
the inward putrefaction was completely vis- i \
ible by the blackness of the cuticle. Com-!,
mon coal was pulverized and given to the ]
patient in small doses every half hour! It 1
was a desperate case and an experiment i 1
was tried. The vomiting was changed in- • 1
to a cathartick, and the female Was re9tcr-l,
ed to health. I.
A stranger, who had languished, for sev
eral days, until his physicians had given
him over as a subject for whom they could
do no more, and whose case was complete
ly hopeless : “ Gouts of blood” were for
cing from his nostrils, and the mortification
of his stomach running from his mouth. 1
Upon him it was resolved to try the char- !
coal. He was made to draw it through his 1
nose, and in about an hour, the bleeding
was removed ! He took it into the stomach ‘
also, and in a few hours, as the patient af
terwards expressed it—he felt something
like a dreadful weight fail from around his;
heart; an immediate and powerful purga- 1
tion took place, and in a few days the res
cued sufferer was completely restored.
Another instance, nearly similar, occur
red in the house of one of my friends, and
the charcoal was applied with the same es-j
feet. In short, as the benevolent physician !
alluded to, informed me, out of twenty such :
extreme cases, the charcoal cured all but 1
one. I know not whether I should mention j
this gentleman’s name, but his exertions in |
the cause of of suffering humanity, can re
flect nothing but honour upon David C.
Kerr.”
INTEMPERANCE.
On looking over our files of English pa
pers, the following instance of the horrible
effects of the beastly practice of intoxica
tion presents itself:
“ Avery distressing event took place at
the house of Mr. J. Christopher, in Ecles
ton. A man in a state of beastly drunken
ness, went into a room adjoining the ono in
which he had been drinking, and sat him
self down upon a cradle, in which a child
was sleeping. The mother, that it might
not be disturbed by the noise and confusion
of the company, who frequented the tav
ern, had removed into the retired apart
ment. The anxiety she felt on seeing the
cradle occupied by a drunken man may be
easily conceived—but the shock was inex
pressibly increased, when, on removing the
stupified brute, she found that the poor in
nocent had breathed its last, haviug died
through suffocation.” ‘
Anecdote of Hume , the Deist.
David Hume observed, that all devout
persons he had ever met with were mel
ancholy. On this, Bishop Horne remark
ed, this might very probably be; for, in
the first place, it is most likely that he saw
very few, his friends and acquaintances be
ing of another sort; and, secondly, the
sight of him would make a devout man look
melancholy at any time.
RECIPES.
Cure for the Cholera Morbus.
Take a half-grown chicken, strip him of
his feathers and entrails as quick as possi- 1
ble after killing him, and, while he is yet i
warm put him into a gallon of boiling wa-1
ter, add a little salt, and ccmtiirae the boil- 1
! injj half an hour ; take off liqhor, anfl
I give to the patient half a tumbler .full, and
i repeat it aa often as ha can hear it an al
-1 moat immediate effect will b e produced.
This has been known to produce a com
plete cure, after the patient had become so
much exhausted that articulation hud ceas
ed. Nantucket Inq.
A Cure for the Ague ami F ever.
Take one ounce of Bark (common yel
low Peruvian) one ounce ofCloves, ground
fine, and mix them in a bottle of good Ma
deira wine, of which take a wine glass full
every ten or fifteen minutes, beginning two
hours before the cbili is expected ; taking
care to shake the bottle well before each
drink. When the chill comes on, no more
is to be taken until the next day at the
same time.
When the person has a regular succr sion ,
of fever, without a chill, the same remedy ;
will answer.
Cure for the Dyscntary.
Simmer together one quart of strong vin
egar and one and a half pounds ot best qual
ity of loaf sugar, for twenty minutes, in a
pewter dish with a pewter cover, and no
other will answer. If the patient be an
adult it will be necessary first to cleanse
the bowels with one ounce of glauber salts
united with two grains of torterisia antimo
ny and a less quantity for a child. One ta
ble spoonful ofthe syrup is then to he giv
en every hour, night and day, for 24, 36 or
18 hours till the cure is effected. The
writer never kngw it to fail in effecting a
cure of this fatal disease within the limits
of 48 hours, even in the worst cuse9 ofcamp
dysentary during the late war.
BRITISH NEWSPAPERS.
From the Ms. Y. Com. Adv.
It is ascertained at the Stamp Office in London
where the paper on which the daily and weekly
journal? printed in the United Kingdom, is all
stamped, that the number of newspapers circula
ted in a week in London, amount* to about three
hundred thousand; in the country to six hundred
and twenty thousand; giving a total of nearly a
million a week, or fifty millions in a year.
[From a statement given, it appears that of
eight Morning papers, the number daily printed
is from 1500 to 7000 at each establishment ; and
of seven evening papers, the daily editions are
from 1500 to 1-1,000 —making a total, daily, of
47,200. The number of weekly newspaper es
tablishments is 18.]
The number of papers, including daily, week
ly and thrice a week papers, published in the city
of London alone, in a year, may be computed at
near Twenty Millions !
There are a number of other papers published
in that metropolis, not included in the foregoing
estimate. Besides, these, there are at least one
hundred provincial papers published in England ;
Scotland3l, Ireland 56,the British lslesO. The j
London Literary Cazette says that many of our!
country papers have a very great sale, so that’
they may be safely averaged at 2000, or thirty- j
six millions and a half annually. The most vio-,
lent ofthe opposition papers, stood higher in 1819:
than they do at present—some of them by thou- 1
sands, and the papers of a less decidedly party i
character have increased.
The revenue derived by the government from ,
stamps, is not all. In 1820 the duties up<sn the :
advertisements in London alone, amounted to
£46,000.
Though simply speculative, (says the London
Literary Gazette) it would be curious to calou-,
late on these data the number of readers in the
kingdom, the number of hours employed in read-!
ing, and the quantity of effect produced in con- :
versation by this prodigious circulation of news-’
papers. At a first view it would seem that the j
entire adult population of Great Britain did noth-.
ing else but print and peruse journals.
During the sitting of Parliament, each morning
journal has from six to ten or more gentlemen ofi
literary acquirements, engaged in reporting the
debates. These succeed each other in rotation !
in the gallery of the house of commons, or space j
for strangers in the upper honse ; and remain as !
may be requisite, half an hour, an hour, or two I
hours, respectively, to take notes of what passes ; j
as one retires, another occupies his place ; and ;
the succession lasts till the business is done. In j
the same way the matter is delivered to the *
printers ; the first reporter goes to his office, and !
i writes out his part of the debate, while the second
| is carrying on the system of note-taking ; and so!
the whole proceeds through three, four, five, six,
i seven or ten individuals. This division of labour
; renders that practicable which we daily see, and
i which would otherwise be thought impossible.—
, The same principle is seen in the printing office,
or chapel, as it is called. The principal printer
receives the debates written on slips of paper, and
distributes them to his ten or fourteen composi
tors to be put in types. When finished, the mat
ter is put regularly together, and impressions are
taken as the work goes on, which are submitted
to another officer, called the reader, for correc
tion. A lad reads the manuscript to this person,
while he con? the proof, and jots on the margin
the needful alterations. Again handed to the
compositor, these alterations are made in the
types, and the proof is read twice more before it
is finally made up in columns for the editor, and
for putting into the shape in which it Is published.
The news and politicks, and all other branches of
the paper undergo a similar process ; and it is al
together curious to see the busy and active scene
in which perhaps ten able writers, a great num
ber of clever printers, superintending readers,
correctors, printers, and editors, are all co-opera
ting to the same end—the publication on the
morning of the morrow, of that well-filled sheet,
of which the very commencement was witnessed
some twelve hours before. The circumstances of
j sheets stamped at the stamp office,
I wetting for printing, and submitting them to the
| press, in pages or forms,(i. e. two pages'together,)
■ • it would prolong this article too much to detail;
■, we shall only mention that, for expedition’s sake,
1 1 is often necessary to print the latest made-up
pages four or five times over, so that, though on
ly one sheet is produced, it is frequently set up in
fuc-similes twice or thrice.
I o conclude the whole, the publishing of a large
t impression is, in itself, remarkable. The speed
-! with which reams of moist paper are counted,and
. I disposed of in quires, dozens and single papers, to
( | the various newsmen ; the clamour of their boys,
r an< l the impatience ofthe devils, [a nickname giv
en to the errand boys of a printing-office] consti
• tute a spectacle of no common kind.
The evening papers which take their reports
from those of the morning, are, of oourse spared
a very considerable expense* Some of the lead
ing morning journals disburse, for literary assis
tance and printing, about £206 weekly. In the
weekly prints, the system is nearly the same ; on
ly they do not employ reporters, or look after
much original matter: except, perhaps, that some
of the leading Sunday newspapers obtain an ac
count from the Law Courts on Saturday, & of any
late news on that day. Their expenses are thus
comparatively inoonsiderable, and their emolu-
Hents great. It is not easy to speak with cer-
52
tainfy, nor would it be rieht for f* *>*’•'!
the profits of any particular journal", we * h J“ l
therefore conclude by stating the common ru
mour, that ot leat one morning paper worth
from fifteen to eighteen—two from eight to ten
one evening more than ten—undone, or perhaps
two weekly, from three to five thousand pound*
per annum. . , t
We wih some of our brother editors in each oi
the United States, would take it upon him to col
lect and publish the names and title* of the seve
ral newspapers in the states in which they
respectively reside. It would be difficult, if not
impracticable, to ascertain the number of copies
published daily, weekly, or serai-weekly in the
U. States, but if we knew the whole number of
establishments it would be gaining one paint.

PROPOSALS
For publishing a Paper in the Town of Milledge
mile, to be entitled,
WE, THE PEOPLE.
“ ’Tis not in mortalsto command success,
u But we’ll do more, Semprouius,
“ We’ll deserve it.”
Tli U Press has been truly and classically call
ed the Palladium of Liberty. In the dis
semination of useful knowledge, in the correction 1
of political abuses, it stands proudly pre-emineut
above evey other institution; it is the handmaid
to the Arts and Sciences, the conservator of Ge
nius, and the pioneer to the march of Liberty and
Virtue. However corrupt a press may be, how
ever ably and skilfully conducted, it cannot long
retain an undue influence upon the minds of the
People: the glare of publick observation through
which it moves, like the unsullied mirror of Con
fucius, immediately reflects its deformity; and
exposes its venality. Someone has aptly observ
ed, that opinion is the Queen of the World. She
is emphatically so in a government like ours.
The aristocralical maxim, “ the people are their
own worst enemies,’' 1 under whatever semblance
it may appear, will still retain an impress of its
original features ; and the ken of an enlightened
community will soon penetrate the gossamer man
tle, and drag the monster to light.
WE, THE PEOPLE, will be particularly
devoted to an impartial examination of the poli
ticks of the State of Georgia. The policy of its
present administration is one which fully accords
with our feelings and principles ; and so Jong as
it adheres to that honest and independent course
which has invariably marked its prepress, so long
will the Editors be devoted to its support. All
other subjects of State or National concern wiil
receive that portion of attention which they mer
it ; and every exertion will be used to render the
paper a medium of useful intelligence.
Such are the sentiments of the Editors; and
thus feeling and thinking, will they launch their
little barque upon the political ocean. With
Truth their chart, and Independence their com
pass, they hope in attempting to avoid Scylla they
will not founder on Charybdis ; but ride in tri
i tunph on the Sea of Principle into tjbe Port of
: Publick Safety.
We, the People, will be published forthwith,
under the management of one of the Editors of
the Augusta Chronicle.
The terms of subscription will be three dollars
per annum, puyable on the delivery of the
number, or four dollars at the expiration of the
year.
