THE HUSBANDMANS PRAYER.
BT H. . BI.LXKWOOI,
O Thou ! whose wisdom, power and Jove,
This world, and all its creatures, prove ;
The fertile field and fruitful trees,
Thrive, or decay as thou shalt please ;
And haman art and toil are vain,
If thoa withhold thy sun and rain !
Still may thy bounteous Providence
All wished—all needful good dispense.
When brumal storms have spent their power,
And Spring expandeth many a flower,
May ne’er the frosts that fall at night.
The seeds of future harvest blight ;
May ne'er the blushing blossom yield
To storms that devastate the field:
From such, and from too piercing air,
The new-shorn lamb und nestling spare !
In Susmss, when the solar ray
Is felt through all the enfeebling day,
Mild be his genial beams, without
Contagion's force, or parching drought.
And frequent may the full fraught cloud
The azur arch of heaven enshroud,
That gentle moisture, temperate heat,
A plenteous harvest may complete.
V When Autubih’streasures spread around,
And earners teem, and fruits abound.
Then shall the husbandman npraise
To thee his grateful hymn of praise ;
To Thee, who gavest not in ram,
The early anti the latter rain ;
To Thee, whose promise doth avail—
Seed Time and Hantsl ne'er shall fail.
God of the Seasons ! let thy ca-e
Preside o’er each revolving year!
Slay health ! fair queen of blessings ! crown
Each city, and each rural town—
While sweet content and heartfelt joy
This land of freedom shall employ ;
Thee, may thy offspring—man—adore,
Till time and seasons change no more.
Revolutionary Incidents.
DEFENCE OF FOE F SULLIVAN.
June 28, 1776.
From Memoirs ot'ihe American Revolution, as re
lates to the Statu of South Carolina—By John
Drayton, L.L.D.
Os the 7th June (17 73) Cel. Moultrie in
formed the President (Rutledge) by 1 letter,
that several of the fleet, which had not
come ever the b.tr, had gone northwardly,-
perhaps to land troops. This was sooo as
certained to he the erase ; and that thpy’
had effected a landing on Long lsand, next
to Sullivan’s Island.
Immediately on General Leee’s rece iv-’
ing information of this debarkation, lie on j
the Bth of June directed Col. Moultrie to j
detach Thomson’s and Sumter’s regiments j
of riflemen, and c apt. Alston’s, May ha ms .
and Couturier's companies, to Long-Island ; j
with orders to attack, and if possible dis
lodge the corps of the enemy which had j
lauded there; and to make the attack at I
break of day. This however did not arrive j
in tune to be executed; ami was therefore j
countermanded. On the 9th, President!
Rutledge invested General Lee with the j
command of the forces ; and on the evening
of the day, the camp of troops in the rear
of Fort Sullivan was broken up; and they
were ordered to “ remove their baggage,
and lodge within the lort;” this being the;
jjpsit time, when the troops, wjto were to
defend that post, had moved into it. On
the 10th Capt. De Brahm, an engineer, was
sent to Sullivan's island, to direct the throw
ing up of some breast work', adjacent to
the fort, and at the advanced guard, at the
jHoai of the island, opposite to Long Island.
About this lime it was ascertained, that the
whole of the British land forces were on L.
Island; amounting to near 5.000 men, un
der the command of Major General Clinton ;
who had under him Major General Lord
Cornwallis and Brigadier General Vaughan.
A’ this ere of a battle, which held in nice
balance the destinies of South Carolina, it
is proper to ascertain with some accuracy,
in what manner General Lee hail posted
the troops, upon whose valour and services
the safety of Charleston and the colony de
pended; and what were the situation and
strength of the forts destined to oppose the
approaches of the enemy.
General Clinton haring’ lander! on Long-
Inland with ail hi* troops, had made prepa
ration for panning the breach, between that
r.ml Sullivan's* Hand. He had thrown n|*
two work*, one for mortar*, and the other
for cannon: in addition to which, he had an
armed schooner, and some floating batte
ries. Against thi* force, breast works had
been erpcted on the north-eastern point of
Sullivan's Island, distant about a mile; sup
ported by a battery of one 18 pounder, and
one brass field piece, G pounder. These
were defended by the third Carolina regi
ment of riflemen, containing* upwards of
300 men—Col.’ 250 North Car
olina regular*—Col. Horry with 200 South
Carolina troops, the Racoon company of ri
flemen. 50 militia, and a small detachment
of artillery—amounting to about 180 men:
the whole being under thp command of Col.
William Thomson, of jjte third regiment
of rangers. From this post, a line of bar
ren sand hills, fronted by a hard beach, ex
tended themselves along the sea shore to
fort Sullivan, through a distance of from
two and a half, to three miles, and Col.
Thomson had orders that should he find
himself unable to prevent the passage of
Gen Clinton across the beach, he was to
retreat and re-enforce the fort with all hie
troops.
Between Col. Thomson’s station and
the fort, and siyneyvhat more than a quar
ter of a the fort, the narrow isth
mus of at that place, was fortified
across hr a breal-work; where a quarter
guard, commanded by a lieutenant, was sta
tioned.
The fort wa9 a square, with a bastion at
each angle, sufficiently large to contain
when finished one thousand men. it was
built of palmetto logs, laid one upon the
other, in two parallel rows, at sixteen feel
distance; bound together at intervals with
timber dove-tailed, and bolted into the logs.
The spaces between the two lines of logs
were tilled up wilh sand; and the merlons
were walled entirely by palmetto logs,
notched into one another at the angles—
well bolted together, and strength: ned with
pieces -of timber. They were sixteen feet
thick, filled in with sand, and ten feet high
above the platforms which were supported
by brick pillars. The fort was only finished
on the front or south-eastern curtain and
bastions, and on the south-west curtain and
bastions; the north-eastern curtain, and the
north-western curtain and bastions, were
unfinished; being logged up, only about
seven feet high. Necessity, however de
vised an expedient for making the unfinish
ed parts tenable against an escalade; by
placing thick long planks upright against
the unfinished outside wall, but inclined anil
projecting over it: which raised the height
ten or fifteen feet more —and through
which, loop holes were cut, for the use of
rifles, or musketry. The platform there
fore as finished, only extended along the
south-eastern front of the fort—and its
south-western side. Upon these platforms
the cannon were mounted. On the south
east bastion, the flag staff was fixed; bear
ing a blue flag with a white crescent, on
which was emblazoned the word Liberty :
and three 18, and two 9 pounders were
mounted there. On the south-east curtain,
six 26 French pounders, and three 18 Eng
lish pounders were placed, and on the wes
tern bastion connected with it three 20
French pounders, and two 9 pounders were
stationed. On the south-west curtain six
cannon were mounted, 12 and 9 pounders.
Connected with the front angle of each
rear bastion of the fort, lines of defence
called cavaliers, were thrown up for a small
distance <n the right and left of (he fort;
and three 12 pounders were mounted in
each of them. So that the whole number
of cannon mounted in the fort and cavaliers
•>n each side, were thirty-one; of which,
only twenty-five at any possible lime, could
hear upon the enemy, stationed in front of
the fort, and even then, four 9 pounders on
the two inner sides of the front bastions
could he scarcely used. Narrow* platforms
or banquettes were placed along the walls,
where the plank was raised against them,
for the men to stand upon, and fire through
the loop-holes. Such was the situation of
fort Sullivan on the 27th day of June; and
its garrison consisted of the 2d South-C.iro
lina regiment of infantry, amounting to 413
of all ranks; and a detachment of the fourth
South-C'arolina regiment of artillery of 22;
amounting together to 435; the while be
ing under the command of Colonel William
Moultrie, of the above second regiment.
Nearly midway between Fort Sullivan
and Charleston, Fort Johnson was situated,
; having upwards of twenty heavy cannon of
French 26 and English 18 pounders. Its
! garrison consisted of the first South-Caroli-
I na regiment of infantry, amounting lo about
| 380; and a small detachment of artillery
commanded by Colonel Christopher Gads
den of the above first regiment. And near
’ er the town on its left was the battery on i
; James’ Island, mounted with about twelve i
heavy cannon, which raked the channel, in ,
approaching Charleston from fort John
son; and where Capt. Thomas Pinckney of
the said regiment with his company was
stationed.
From Cummio’s Point on Ashley river,
along north-hay and east-bay to Gadsden’s
wharf on Cooper river, batteries, fleeches,
and bastion s mounted with cannon, were
prepared to meet the enemy: aud the
fourth, or Soulh-Carotina artillery regi
ment, as also a part of the militia acting as
artillery, were divided into detachments for
lighting the cannon at those positions. The
remainder of the town militia were to form
at the slate hou:-e. The country militia
were to form in that part of Lynch’s pas
ture which is nearest the town, under the
orders of Brigadier General Howe. And
the Norih-Carolina troops were tc form
I wo hundred yards in the rear of the coun
try militia, to he considered as a corps of re
serve. under the. immediate command of
General Lee. The total amount of these
troops in Charleston, was about 3.670; con
sisting of the 4th regiment of artillery, 200
—Charleston militia, 700—country militia,
1'970—-and IS oi th Carolina, 800. Fire ves
sel- were al-o prepared, for annoying the
British vessels should they he able to pass
the forts, and present themselves before
Charleston. The rest of ihe troops, con
sisting of the Vir. regulars,soo—N.C. regu
lars, 600—5th S. Carolina rifle regt. 268
6th Soulh-Carolina rifle regiment, i6o—and
militia artillery, 40—amounting in the
whole to about 1,563 were stationed, part
ly nt Haddreli’s Point; and in advanced
parties to the left of it, opposite to Sullivan
and Long-Islands. These troops were
immediately under the command of Briga
dier General Armstrong.
Od the morning of Friday, the 28th of June,
Col. Moultrie rode to the northeastern point of
Sullivan’s Island, to visit the troops stationed
there under Coh I homson. VVhen'he arrived, he
saw the enemy’s boats in motion at the back of
Long-lfland, os if they intended a descent upon
that advanced post; and at the same time he
perceived the men of war loose their topsails.
This having been the signal of their getting under
way the day before, he hurried back to the fort;
and on his arrival, immediately ordered the long
roll to beat, and the officers and men to their
posts. The guns were scarcely manned, and
powder issued from the magazine, when the Brit
ish squadron was perceived with their courses
fjyawn up, hearing down upon Fort Sullivan ; and
at the time, between 10 and 11 o’clock, the
Thunder bomb-ship, covered by the Friendship
armed vessel of 26 guns, anchored at the distance
of a mile and a half, bringing the salient angle of
the eastern bastion to bear north by west, and be
68
pan to throw shells upon the fort; one of which
fell upon the magazine, but did no considerable
damage. The flood tide being strong, and the
wind fair from tiie southward and west, the Ac
tive, 28 guns, the Bristol, 50 guns, the Experi
ment. 50 funs, and Solebay, 28 guns, soon came
within striking distance of the fort; when a fire
of cannon commenced upon then from the south
western bastion. But the Active, which was
the leading ship, continued her course until she
arrived within four hundred yards of the fort;
when she anchored with springs on her cable, ami
poured in her btoadside of cannon balls. The
Bristol, Experiment, aud Solebay, ranging up in
rear of the Active, anchored in like manner, leav
ing intervals between each other, and the Syren
and Acteon of 28 guns, and Sphinx of 20 guns,
formed a line parallel with them, opposite the in
tervals.
The example of the Active was followed bv the
ships, as they took their stations; and a heavy
and incessant eannonade issued from their batte
ries; while from the fort a return was made, slow,
hut sure. When this severe trial of metul and
skill was going on between the veteran ships ol
the British uavv, and the newly raised troops of
an infant repnbjick, from a low fort of palmetto
logs; (he Thnncir, bomb-ship, was throwing
thirteen inch sheik iu quick succession, several
of which fell into the turt; they were however
immediately buried in the loose sand, so that very
few of them hurst upon the garrison.
No prospect of silencing the tort appearing,
about 12 o’clock, the Acteon, Sphinx and Syren
were ordered to pass the fort and take a position
. in Rebellion Road towards the cove of Sullivan’s
Island, for the purpose of enfilading the front
platforms of (he southeast curtain and its two bas
tions, whose fire was dreadfully destructive to the
British ships and crews. This manoeuvre was
what General Lee had foreseen ; but Almighty
Providence confounded the plan, and frustrated
the attempt. For, while the detached frigates
were standing well over to the lower middle
ground opposite the fort, so as to make a tack
and pass clear of the front line of ships, then
closely engaged, they got entangled on the shoal,
when the Sphinx and Acteon ran foul of each
other. The Syren got off, as did the Sphinx, wilh
tiie loss of her bowsprit: but the Acteon was left
irnnioveably fixed on the sand. The Sphinx and
Syren now retrograded ; and hearing away under
cover of the ships engaged, they retired awhile,
to prepare themselves for farther action.
About this time of the day. the Thunder bomb
ship, having thrown 50 or 60 shells, with little
effect, ceased firing. This was occasioned b) her
having anchored at too great a distance; and the
engineer, (Col. James of the royal regiment of
artillery) was therefore compelled to overcharge
the mortars, whose recoil shattered the beds, and
so damaged the ship, as to render her unfit for
further service. The combat was now only kept
up by the four ships first engaged ; and in the af
ternoon, the enemy’s fire was increased by a re
enforcement of the Syren and Friendship. Dur
ing this severe cannonade barges passed from
one ship to another, and to and from the trans
ports, for the purpose of removing the wounded,
and obtaining fresh men, as occasion required ;
and the firing from the ships continued animated,
and incessant, till near seven o’clock in the even
ing. From this time, it slackened with the set
ting sun ; and they only returned the fire from
the fort, which ‘was opened upon them now and
then; but, in doing so, they returned it twenty
fold. At half past nine the firing on both sides
ceased, and at eleven o’clock the ships slipped
their cables, without any noise or piping, and re
turned with the last of the ebb tide to their sta
tion near Five Fathom Mole.

GEN. WARREN’S ORATION'S.
[From Knapp's “ Biographical Sketches” just
published,]
His next oration was delivered March 6, 1775.*
[He had delivered one in 1772.] It was at his
own solicitation that lie was appointed to this du-!
ty a second time. The fact is illustrative of his j
character, and worthy of remembrance. Some ;
Britih officers of the army then in Boston had pub- j
hekly declared that it should be at the price of
the life, of any man to speak of the event of March j
5, 1770, on that anniversary. Warren’s soul took
fire at such a threat, so openly made, and he
; wished for the honour of braving it. This was
readily granted, for at such a time a man would
probably find but Tew rivals. Many who woulti
spurn the thought of personal fear might be ap
prehensive that they would be so far disconcerted
as to forget their discourse. It is easier to fight
bravely, than to thiuk clearly or correctly ill dan
ger. Passion sometimes nerves the arm to fight,
but disturbs the regular current of thought. The
day came, and the weather was remarkably fine.
1 he old South Meeting-house was crowded at an
early hour. The British officers occupied the
aisles, the flight of steps to the pulpit, and several
of them were within ii. It was not precisely
known whether this was accident or design. The
orator, with the assistance of his friends, made his
entrance at the pulpit window by a ladder. The
officers, seeing his coolness and intrepidity, made
way for him to advance and address the audi
ence. An awln) stillness preceded his exordium.
Each man felt the palpitations of his own heart,
and saw the pale hut determined face - of his neigh
bour. The speaker began his oration in a firm
tone of voice, and proceeded with great energy
and pathos. Warren and his friends were prepar
ed to chastise contumely, prevent disgrace, and
avenge an attempt at assassination.
Ihe scene was sublime. A patriot in whom the
flush of youth, and the grace and dignity of man
hood were combined, stood armed in the sanctuary
of God, to animate and encourage the sons of lib
erty, and to hurl defiance at their oppressors.—
The orator commenced with the early history .of
the country, described the tenure by which we
held our liberties and property—the affection we
had constantly shown the parent country, and
boldly told them how, and by whom these bles
sings of life had been violated. There was in this
appeal to Britain—in this description of suffering,
agony and horrour, a calm and high-souled defi
ance which must have chilled the blood of every
sensible foe. Such another hour has seldom hap
pened in the history of man, and is not surpassed
in the records of nations. The thunders of De
mosthenes rolled at a distance from Philip and his
host—and Tolly poured the fiercest torrent of his
i invective when Calaline was at a distance, and
his dagger no longer to be feared, hut Warren’s
speech was made to proud oppressors resting on
their arms, whose errand it was to overawe, and
whose business it was to fight.
| If the deed of Brutus deserved to be commem
orated by history, poetry, painting and sculpture,
should not this instance of patriotism be held in
lasting remembrance ? If he
That struck the foremost man of all this world,
was hailed as the first of freemen, what honour
are not due to him, who, undismayed, bearded
the British lion, to show the world what his coun
trymen dared to do in the cause of liberty ’ Ifthe
statue of Brutus was placed among those of the
gods, who were the preservers of Roman freedom,
should not that of Warren fill a lofty niche in the
temple reared to perpetuate the remembrance
of our birth as a nation.
* He fell in Ihe. battle at Bunker's IhU on the
\7th of June following.
Forty-five bodies have been taken tip on the S.
shore of Long Island,opposite Brookhaven,drown

VENTRILOQUISM.
Mr. Nichols, (lie Ventriloquist, gave a humour
ous specimen of his art Inst evening, in Market.
street. Walking with a friend between nine and
ten o’clock, past the corner of Church and Mar- ;
ket where a well was sinking, the surface i
being slightly covered wilh loose boards, his com- 1
panion suggested to him that it offered a good op- 1
portunity to evert his powers of speech. Iwo or
three persons happened to he near the spot when ;
Mr. N. raised one of the boards, and asked who
was down there ? No answer was returned.—Me
again asked, did I not hear someone dosvo here
calling for help ? A voice answered from the bot
lom of the well, Yes, sir! Mr. N.— Bow came
you down there ? Voice—The workmen left me
here, and shut tiie well—O, my friend, put down
a ladder ora rope and help me out! By this time
:10 or 40 persons hod assembled, uttering curses
on the workmen for leaving the man in the well.
One man repognizt-d in the voice, old Tony Schuy
ler, a black man, and said he knew him ; he now
called out to him, Tony, is that you ? Voice—Yes,
sir, help me out, I am almost frozen and drowned.
The man asked how long he had beeu there ? Two
hours : O put down a ladder ! By this time there
had arrived a number of lanthorns, ropes, ladders,
&c. Mr. N. now walked off and left the deceiv
ed multitude preparing to draw Tony up from
the well. Their lights, however, soon convinced
them that Tony was not there. Now a warm
dispute arose among those who said it was al! a
hoax, and those who swore they heard Tony.—
I he writer left them in the height of their dispute,
and went home.
I have since become acquainted with the histo
ry of Mr. Nichols, which may not he uninterest
ing to the public!:. He is a young gentleman
about 20 years of age, a native of Nantucket, Ms.
He did not know, till lately, that lie possessed the
power of ventriloquism. About 18 months ago,
while a clerk in a counting house at Savannah,
he first saw the famous Charles, exhibiting at that
place. Charles, in an address to the audience at
one of his exhibitions, on the powers of ventrilo
quism, observed that there were undoubtedly ma
nv who possessed the same powers he did,hut that
they did not know how to call them into action ;
he said there might be some even in his present au
dience. Young N. immediately recollected that
while he was a lad he could whistle in his throat,
which none of his companions could do, and was
determined to try the experiment of ventriloquism
as soon as he should arrive at home the same eve
ning ; he djd so, and found himself perfectly suc
cessful.
P. S. Since writing the above, I have had an
interview with Mr. Nichols, and he has satisfied
me of his powers being equal to those of Charles.
I took him into several different apartments in my
house, and he executed three voices to admira
tion. Mr. Nichols is the first and only ventrilo
quist the U. States has ever produced, and has
promised to give a publick exhibition in a few
days.

“ The cruel spoiler came,
“ Nipt this fair flower”.
On Tuesday and Wednesday last, a hoary old
man, on whose head three score and ten winters
had shed their snows, was seen in our town, look
ing for his wife , who had been iured away by the
wiles of a seducer, about a year and a half since,
while the unsuspecting husband languished on a
sickbed, lo which he was confined for several
months afterwards. The old man, whose name
is Boon, resides in Frederick Cos. Maryland, and
being told that his quondam partner was in the
neighbourhood a short time since, he had. as
soon as his feeble health gave him sufficient
strength, undertaken this journey, which it seems
has been unsuccessful. He is extremely poor,but
never regarded his poverty as a misfortune until
now, when it deprives him of the power of con
tinuing his inquiries. He speaks of his wife in
terms of doting fondness, and freely forgives the
guilty aberration. He describes her as being of
middle age, and in person
“ All that beauty can express,
Or youthful poets fancy when they love.”
Her c educer be believes to have been a German
from Pennsylvania ; hut on this point he cannot
be certain, as he thinks he could not have seen
him more than two or three times, and then du
ring the illness above mentioned, when hi- senses
frequently forsook him. After leaving an adver
tisement, the old man sat out to return to his
cheerless home, with a heavy heart, on Wednes
day morning.
Judge Washington. —We are requested to state
in behalf of Judge Washington, that the slaves on
his plantation, of which he has a great number,
had become from long indulgence, discontented
and riotous ; that there were serious causes of ap
prchi-tfiioii that this conspiracy would lead to
alarming results if it was not checked in the out
set ; that he selected the most riotous of his
slaves and sold them in a body to one man, the
friend of Judge W. as the mildest pnnithment that
could be inflicted ; that they were disposed of
with their wives and families, in the hope that
this separation would be better for all parties
concerned. So far we have received information
and no farther. Ball. M. Chron.

Court of Serjjpnr.—Catharine Fields was in
dicted and convicted for being a common scold.
The trial was excessively amusing, from the vari
ety of testimony, and the diversified manner in
which this Xantippe pnrsued her virulent propen
sities. “ Ruder than March wind, she blew a
hurricane and it was given in evidence, that
after having family individually, the
bipeds and quadrupßs, the neighbours, hogs,
poultry and geese, she would throw the window
open at night to scold the watchmen. Her coun
tenance was an index to her temper—sharp,peak
ed, sallow, and small eyes. To he sentenced on

Sept. 9.
The Common Scold , convicted at the present
court of sessions, not relishing the paragraph in
onr paper, called at our office to prove that she
was an injured woman, by giving us a “ touch of
her condition.'” Being unfortunately out, she
commenced with the clerk, and after giving him
a specimen of her melting powers, she concluded
by scolding the devil [waiting hoy] in the office,
and then taking her departure, announcing her
intention to pay me a visit ; which, if she is bent
upon doing, we shall return the compliment by
putting her to press, and taking an impression of
this singular virago, for the benefit of the sex gen

AFRICA.
The Baard of Managers of the American Colo
nisation Society, have just received from Mr.
Rush, our minister at London, some recent
intelligence of the present slate of the Af
rican Slave Trade. Mr. Rush states, that by ac
counts which have reached the British govern
ment from their commissioners at Sierra Leone, a
sensible diminution of the slave trade is declared
■to have taken place ; and this diminution is as
cribed, in a large degree, to the well directed ef
forts of the U. 8. cruisers tn that quarter.
Lieut. Stockton, of the U. States’ schooner Al
ligator, in a letter to the Board of Managers, ob
j >egw—“ 1 aor* and mere persuaded cf the
I usefulness of your society. I believe it will be in
strumental in meliorating ihe condition of Africa.
The unfitting clan of slate dealers are still, and
more exultirigly than ever, draining the dearest
veins of that country. Is such to continue to he
their fate ? And will not Christendom put an end
to it ? Are they to be torn from their homes, from
their frit mis, from their father’s graves, while the
vultures of the world are proclaiming freedom, ami
1 forming coalitions for its security ? May the fa
