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. From the Philadelphia Union. Mr. Bronson —During a late visit at Mount Vernon, 1 found in the blank leaf of a book, the following compliment from Lord Erskine to Gen eral Washington.— The book was entitled ‘A view ofthe Causes and Consequences of the pre sent War with France; by the honourable Thom as Erskine.’ s***. TO GENERAL WASHINGTON. ‘ Sir—l have taken the liberty to introduce your August and Immortal name in a short sen tence, which is to be found in the book I sent you. I have a large acquaintance among the most valuable andjxalted classes of men: but you are the only human being for whom I ever felt an awful Reverence. I sincerely pray God to grant a long and se rene evening to a life so gloriously devoted to the universal happiness of the world. T. ERSKINE. London , March 15, 1797. 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. Advertisement* and Job work at the cus tomary prices.
