stitutionally seated in tlie chair, it is to be hoped
our Legislature wilt take a deliberate survey
of the present state of internal improvements, and ,
inquire what still remains to be done in order to
augment our prosperity at home, and to establish
our character abroad.
Os Colleges and Academies as connected with
the literary progress of a people, we say nothing
in this place, as these points were considered with
some degree of copiousness in our paper of No
vember last. But notwithstanding all that may
with propriety be urged, in favoflr of these institu
tions of a superiour order, yet Common Schools
are the fountains from which that information
must flow, which is most important, in a govern
ment like ours. It is neither necessary nor prac
ticable for every man in the community to receive
a classical education ; but it is of lasting conse
quence, that the rising generation should be in
structed in all the substantial and useful branches
of learning. Hence the estimation in which com
mon English Schools ought to be held. Their
influence is not circumscribed to a few of a par
ticular order or condition in life, but extends to
both sexes, and affects almost every child who is
hereafter to be a constitutional member of our
great Republick. These seminaries of incipient
education ought to sustain a reputable character.
An idea more erroneous in its nature and more fa
tal in its consequences, never found admission in
to a rational mind, than that almost any thing
will do for a teacher of an English School. This
opinion has produced the worst practical ef
fects. The great majority of children in theljate
of Georgia have received the rudiments of educa
tion from men totally unqualified for the business
of instruction. After making every exception
which charity dictates in favour of here and there
a teacher of adequate qualifications, the remain
der, comprising the great mass, would make better
hewers of wood and drawers of water, than direc
tors of youthful genius and morals. This busi
ness, as important as the relations of time and the
realities of eternity can make it, is in too many
instances consigned to the hands of boys who
hardly know the first principles of orthography—
Who “ cannot teach and will not learn ;” to men
of profligate manners; or to foreigners whose
fortunes had become desperate in their own
country, and who have come hither to spec
ulate upon the ignorance and inexperience
of our scattered population. A heavier curse i
can hardly light upon a people, than to be visited
by a race of teachers who are intellectual babes
or moral monsters.
We shall conclude our remarks upon this sub
ject in our next paper.

News for Gambltrs. —Among the late present
ments'of the Grand Jury of Putnam, we notice
the names of three persons presented for gaming
with cards, and one for “ keeping a common gam
ing house,table or room in the town of Eatonton
and what is equally necessary and important, the
Jury “ earnestly request that there be no delay in
the proper steps to be taken, in order to bring the
offenders, embraced in their presentments, to jus
tice.” Let this course be pursued throughout our
State, and the statute against the destructive vice
of gaming would soon become what it ought to be
A TERROR TO EVIL DOERS.
CAUSE OF CRIME.
There has been of late much speculation in
the papers on the subject of the alarming increase
of crimes in our country ; and by some writers
this increase has been imputed, in a great meas
ure, to the mode of punishment now adapted in
many of the states. The Penitentiary plan has
been denounced as tending rather to multiply
than prevent offences ; and instead of attempt
ing to point out a remedy for the abuses which
have arisen in the management and discipline of
our State Prisons, these ‘writers have attacked the
system itself 1 ; when if must be very evident that
sufficient time has not elapsed since its introduc*
(ion to allow a fair trial of its relative merits. It
, is a mode of punishment, to perfect which, much
judgment, observation and experience are requi
site ; and for this rcasou it should not be discard
ed until its advantages and disadvantages have
been impartially considered ; and until a rational
conviction of its inutility shall render a resort to
the less humane, and less certain punishments of
the old code absolutely necessary for the safety
and moral good of the community. But when
whiskey is as cheap as milk, and when a man can
take a “ Lethean leave of reason,” and fit himself
for the commission of every crime, for two or
three cents, need we go any where but to grog
shops to find a prominent cause of that depravity
which is crowding our penitentiaries with con
victs, and erecting a gallows in every court-yard !
Let any well-informed, observing and candid man,
and to any other it would be useless to appeal,
read the following remarks from the pen of the
able and intelligent editor of the Baltimore Morn
ing Chronicle, and then decide whether it requires
any great sagacity to account for the alarming in
crease of crime in the American Slat# !
The increase of crime in the United States, has
beeu ascribed to the penitentiary mode of punish
ment, than which nothing can be more false. It
is a common error to ascribe effects to one cause
which often result from a variety of causes. We
question for example, when a man deliberately j
purposes murder in his heart whether he was ever;
restrained from its commission by the horrours of ;
ajailorof a penitentiary? He knows that his j
life will be put in*o jeopardy and that the proba
bility of his evading criminal justice will he as one
to a thousand. The same general remark will
apply to all other criminal offences. A man who
has seriously determined to rob his neighbour of
property, regards a penitentiary as a matter of
subordinate consideration. Make the criminal
law as severe as .ve may, there will be, we will
venture to say, nearly the same amount of crimes
perpetrated, ceter is paribus, as if the punishments
were comparatively light. No, the increase of
crime results,we will venture to say, from far oth- I
er causes. We have a vast amount of indolent (
poor, of foreign and of domestick origin, many
unable to find employment, if they would labour, I
and many who would not labour if they could get
employment, some with families and some with
out families, who must either eat or starve, for
there is no alternative. There has, as we all
know, been a decline in business. This state of
apathy, which prevents our large capitalists from
active exercise, deprives the honest poor of bread
and fuel. They are perhaps debtors, who are
unable to find employment, and their next re
source is begging. Another cause of crime and
one infinitely more productive than all the rest,
is the extreme cheapness of whiskey. One of
our western papers asserts, that such is the low
prices of that article, that milk and whiskey may
be obtained at the same price. A man who can
at the expense of one or two cents, resort to a
temporary oblivion of all his sorrows, will proba
bly yield to that temptation. He has now be
come a voluntary maniack—fit for the perpetra
tion of any crime—he beholds his wife and chil
dren in distress: a false courage, under the influ
ence of that powerful spell, is generated in his
heart—he robs his neighbour of his property, and
the deed is now done—his character is lost and
he shudders at the crime, when he returns to his
senses. Unable to bear the stings and lacerations
of his conscience, he flies again to the intoxica
ting fluid—his family are ruined, and he himself is
doomed at last to expiate his crime in the peni
tentiary, or on the gibbets.
It may be made a question, and a very serious
question, whether all our charitable societies,
formed for the dissemination of gospel truths, all
our Sabbath schools ; all the unheard of and un
paralleled exertions of the present age, to reform
the condition of the poor botli for time and eter
nity, can counterbalance the evils from this one
cause of pauperism and of crime. And yet con
gress have been requested to co-operate in such
benevolent projects of reformation—they have
been requested to impose a tax, to render it less
difficult for our countrymen to become voluntari
ly maniacks. They have been shewn that by
such a coursfe of conduct they will replenish our
exhausted treasury, while they aid the great work
of political reformation —while they preserve the
peace and quiet of families and confederate with
the good and the just of all political parties and of
all religious denominations—to prevent poverty,
and crime, and disgrace, and the gibbet,they have
been urged by all these powerful motives, and
still they have refused—they choose rather to
borrow mon°y and to plunge the nation in debt,
rather than to impose a tax however trifling, upon j
whiskey.
General Intelligence.
English dates to the 16th of August have been
received by an arrival at N. York.
RIOT IN LONDON.
Avery lerious disturbance took place in Lon
don on the removal of the remains of the Queen,
which seems to have eventuated in a very differ
ent manner from previous political tumults in that
metropolis ; the mob having succeeded in accom
plishing their purposes in defiance of the govern
ment. and the bayonets of the military. It ap
pears from the long and minute accounts which
are given of the transaction, that the ministry re
solved upon removing the Queen’s body within
the period specified by herself, viz. three days.
Against this procedure her friends urged, that it
was the first time Ministers had shewn a disposition
to comply with the Queen’s wishes, and insisted
that suitable preparations could not be made in
the allotted space. But the great objections with
the multitude appear to have been, the employ
ment of a military guard, and the determination
of the government that the procession should not ’
pass through the city. On the appointed day an
immense assemblage of people collected in front
of Brandenburgh-house ; and when the undertak
er appeared w'ith authority to remove the body, i
Dr. Lushington, one of the Queen’s executors,
commanded him to touch it at his peril, stating
that the government had no right to interfere with
his duty as an executor of ht:r majesty’s will—
that her body was under his care, aud should not
be removed until preparations suitable to the rank
of the deceased were made. The undertaker re
plied, that his orders were imperative, and he
should do his duty. Dr. L. then said, he would >
neither use nor recommend violence, and would 1
join the procession, not as an executor, but as a
private individual. The most unbounded grief is I
said to have been manifested by many of the !
spectators, of all ranks, particularly the females, |
who remained uncovered during a heavy rain,
until the-coffin was placed upon the hearse, aud
the procession moved off. The exact route de
signated by the government was unknown to the I
’ multitude far some time, aid crowds of people ‘
were seen flocking from one point to another,
I evincing the greatest indignition. When it was
discovered that the procesiion would not pass
through the city, impedimetJs of every descrip
tion were thrown in its way in various places, aftd
finally a mass of carriages, wagons, &c. extending
quite across the street, and presenting a depth of
100 yards, completely impeded its course. The
guaids were insulted, stones and mud thrown at
them, and every possible indignity offered, until a
magistrate directed them to fire upon the mob,
when 40 or 50 carbine and pistol shots were dis-.
charged, by which 3or 4 are said to have been
killed, and 10 or 12 wounded. The crowd was
in some measure dispersed, but rallied again at
other points, and finally obliged the procession
to pass through the town—the cry of “ victory !”
“no red-coats ! no butchers !” resounding from
(he triumphant multitude. The military are said
to have behaved with much coolness and modera
tion, and seemed anxious to avoid any collision
with the unarmed but enraged and insulting pop
ulace. It was 5 o’clock in the afternoon before,
the procession passed the boundaries of the city i
The windows and doors of many houses were clos- i
ed while it was passing, and the house of the fa- j
mous Mr. Cobbett was entirely covered with |
black cloth ! The hearse was drawn by eight black !
‘horses, decorated with black feathers. It is a
- circumstance that Capt. Doyle, of the
Glasgow frigate, which carries the Queen's re
mains to Brunswick, is the same officer who assis
ted her on board the vessel when she embarked
for England to be married, in 1795.
The King was at H.ollyhead,on board bis yacht,
when he received the news of the Queen’s death.
After reading the despatch he retired, and was
seen no more through the day. He gave orders
for the vessels in attendance to lower their col
ours half mast. At the last dates he was in Dub- !
tin, and it will be seen by the article below, that \
‘• his majesty is in a fair way to dissipate the grief
of his late bereavement in listening to the “ hearty
welcomes” of his Irish subjects, and drinking :
their hra ! ths,“ five fathoms deep” in “ good Irish
whiskey punch
FROM THE NEW-YORK SPECTATOR.
THE KING'S VISIT TO IRELAND.
The King had landed in Ireland, and was re
ceived with a hearty welcome. All ranks and
classes, at his landing, pressed forward to see him,
crying, “The King! God save, God bless the
King !” His Majesty, when he landed, was
dressed in a close, lung blue coat, blue trousers
and half boots, black silk handkerchief round his
neck, a seal-skin travelling cap, with a broad gold
band, and white silk gloves. When the crowd
were pressing round him, he shook hands and
talked with them indiscriminately. He proceed
ed to Dublin without a body gitard, amidst an
immense concourse of people, and without a sin
gle policeman on duty. The cavalcade having
attended his Majesty to the Park, in Dublin,
when about separating from them, he addressed
•he people as follows : -
“ My Lords and Gentlemen, and my good Yeo
manry—l cannot express to you the gratification
I feel at the warm and kind reception I have met
with on this day of my landing among my Irish
subjects. lam obliged to you all. lam particu
larly obliged by your escorting me to my very
door.
“ 1 may not be able to express my feelings as I
wish. I have travelled far. I have made a long
sea voyage—besides which, particular circum
stances have occurred, known to you all—of
which it is better at present not to speak. Upon
those subjects l leave it to delicate and generous ■
hearts to appreciate my feelings.
“ This is one of the happiest days of my life.
I have long wished to visit you—my heart has al
ways been Irish. From the day it first beat I
have loved Ireland. This day has shown me that
lam beloved by my Irish subjects. Rank, sta
tion, honours are nothing ; but to feel that I live
in the hearts of my Irish subjects, is, to me. the
most exulted happiness.
“ I must now once more thank you for yonr
kindness, and bid you farewell. Go and do by
me as 1 shall do by you—drink my health in a
bumper; I shall drink all your’s in a bumper of
good Irish whiskey punch.”
The Dublin Advertiser states, that as the Mar
quis of Londonderry (Lord Castlereagh) was pre
-1 paring to enter his carriage, a gentleman, Mr. B.
Norwood, of Townshend street, stepped from the
crowd, and addressing his lordship, said, “ My i
Lord, you have been well received today, after
an absence of upwards of twenty years, from the
capital of your native country, and we have one
favour to ask of you.” “ Ask it,” said his lord
ship. “ A repeal of the Window Tax,” replied
Mr. Norwood. His lordship laying his hand upon
his heart, said emphatically, “ On my honour, if
it is in iny power, it shall be granted.” This de
claration was received with reiterated shouts of
applause.
• GREEK INSURRECTION.
We have but little additional information from
Greece, Turkey, or Russia. The latest account
from the capital of the latter, is, that a reconcili- •
ation would take place between the Emperour
and the Porte. But we can hardly think this
possible. While every thing is thus in doubt as
to the course Russia will pursue, the news by
every arrival in this country is calculated to ex- j
cite deeper and deeper feelings of horronr and i
execration at the savage ferocity that has uniform
ly marked the conduct of the Turks. Can the
European Sovereigns stand the quiet spectators
of the remorseless barbarities of these inhuman
monsters ?
j Couriers are constantly arriving and departing,
j at the several Courts, with despatches, as it is be
] lieved, in relation to the affairs of Turkey. Eng
land is supposed again to have offered her media
} tion. Austria appears to be more closely uniting
i with Russia.

TURKEY.
From the borders of the Danube, frontiers of
Servia, July 7.—We have just learned that the
ill-fated town of Smyrna has been the theatre of
new disorders. It is asserted that the Mussul
mans (furious at the concessions made to the For
eign Consuls by the punishment of the authors of
| the late excesses) get fire to the quarters of the
; town inhabited by the Christians, and that three
parts of Smyrna fell a prey to the conflagration.
Very few Europeans, it is affirmed, have escaped,
| and the English Consul is cited as being amongst
| the number of the victims. We anxiously look
for further details from thence.— Cour. Erancais.
Cronstadt (Transylvania) July 15.—A great
calamity, which, after a thousand other disasters,
has overtaken Bucharest, has given me the time
to escape.from that wretched town. This calam
ity was a terrible earthquake, accompanied by
onednhe most violent hurricanes known in the 1
71
recollection of the people of this country; aboot
1400 houses have been thrown down; a great
number of inhabitants have been crushed under
the ruins. A storm of hail, large as nuts, which
ensued, destroyed a part of the trees which the
hurricane had left, as well as a few countrymen,
who were in the open fields, and almost all the
harvest. The Turkish soldiery, seized with su
perstitious terror,cried out, “The infidel Ypsilan
ti, whom we seek on earth, has ascended to the
sky, to fight us from thence.” The plains of
Wallachia, which 1 have passed, from Bucharest
to the frontiers, once so fine and now pre
sent nothing but the aspect of desolation. The
corpses, which cover them every where, infect
, the atmosphere; nothing is heard but the melan
choly howlings, with which dogs wandering, after
having lost their masters, fill the forests and the
country. Neither houses, nor towns, nor villages
are to be seen. The barharians, to vent their
rage, have even destroyed the fruit trees. More
than 20,000 souls have been dragged into slavery
beyond the Danube. The men, and such women
as were advanced in life, have been massacred
1 without pity, and life is only spared to the young
women destined to the Harem, and to children to
ibe educated in tbe Mabomedan religion. Con
vents and churches are every where razed. In a
I Monastery.of virgins, the elder were put to the
sword, and the younger ones carried away into
; slavery. The Wallachian troops, who have so
basely betrayed the interest of their country in
j battle, as well as their Greek comrades in arms,
j see their errour too late, and rally with the Greeks
I round Jordaki, a Greek of Thessaly, and former
|ly the chief of the militia of that country. De
| spair has revived their courage, and they have
! gained several partial victories over the Turks,
whom they have repuled at several points, after
having killed more than 4000.
The population of European Turkey is estima
ted at five millions two hundred and eighty-eight
thousand Greeks, and one million five hundred
and ninety two thousand Turks.
The French papers give the particulars of the
naval victory obtained by the Greeks over a Turk”
ish squadron at the Dardanelles, consisting of one
j vessel of three decks, 3of two decks, 3 frigates,
1 6 brigs, and 2 corvettes; the Greek fleet consisting
iof 35 sail of smaller vessels. Most of the Turkish
1
j ships were carried by boarding, except the three
| decker, which was destroyed by a fire-ship. Tbe
: contest was carried on with the greatest fury, and
the carnage on both sides immense. The Greek.-
are said to have fought with a valour worthy of
the best days of Greece.
Several vessels sent by the Barbary States to
the aid of the Grand Seiguor, have been captured
by the Greeks.
The Ex-Empress Maria Louisa, (now Dutchess
of Parma) directed her court to appear in mourn
ing until the 24th October, and a funeral service
to be performed in her chapel, when the news of
her husband’s decease was officially received from
St. Helena.
A large packet addressed in the hand writing
of Bonaparte to the emperour of Austria, has been
forwarded to Vienna. Bonaparte hat left the
bulk of his property to his nearest relatives.
The military establishment of Great Britain is
to be reduced from 80,000 to 66,000 man.
At the late sales of fractional lots, in the counties
of Walton, Gv innett, Hall, Habersham and Ra

Singular Death. —On Thursday afternoon,
about 5 o’clock, HENRY JANSON, Esq. Dele
j gate to the Convention from the County'of Ulster,
when apparently in perfect health, fell down in
. the Capitol, at Albany, and expired instantly.
He had the moment before purchased a ticket for j
1 admission to Peale’s celebrated Picture of the 1
| COURT OF DEATH, now exhibiting in the Sen- ’
ate Chamber ; and while he was crossing the
threshold of the door leading to the picture, he
was instantly summoned from the representation
to the awful reality.
It has several times been intimated, in the
American papers, that the British Government 1
poisoned Napoleon; and the same intimation is |
made in relation to the death of the Queen.
1 Upon this subject we will use the language of the
. Charleston Courier. “To arrive at such a con
clusion, so readily, savours much of a distemper
ed imagination, or’ a malignant spirit. Why,
without a shadow of evidence, in opposition to
statements publickly certified by respectable in
dividuals, why attribute wanton and gratuitous
murder to the government of a civilized nation ?
Why calumniate the age in which we live ? Why
throw out surmises of guilt and of crime, with no
better basis than black suspicion, and relentless
enmity ? The grave of a brave man, or of an un-
fortunate female, is the last place on earth to sow
the seeds of slander.” JV. Y. Spectator.
Caution to Parents.
The Connecticut Courant, gives'the distressing
particulars of a child being burnt to death by its :
clothes faking fire. The child was three years I
old, and had been imprudently left in the house j
alone by its mother.
I An affair of honour—so called. —We learn that
an affair of honour took place yesterday morning, j
between two officers of the naTy, in the vicinity’
of this city. We have not heard the particulars,
> nor the name of but on* of the parties. One of
them was killed. JV. Y. Sped.
ANOTHER.
Saratoga, Aug. 23.—A duel was fought th'l
. day, in this place, by two gentlemen, who are 1
; passing some time, in a fashionable manner, at
the Springs. It was said, that the quarrel arose
I from slight neglect of etiquette. The transac
tion was calculated to give a dark picture of hu
man nature. It was between -Coffee and Sambo,
two black dandies from the South. There was
a short correspondence, from which we extract
the following remarks: Cuffee said, he honour
ben suited in de manner, which compel him for
de sake of he own character, to deman de proper
explanashun, or de satisfiaeshun of a gemman.
Sambo, with the true spirit of the times, said, a
furder correspondence could be of quineequance,
in coming from de point, for he should no distract
any sing he said or done, for dat is not de way of
Massa —but he said he much l adder have a chally,
dan a core upon, in dis style. With these feel
ings, an amicable settlement could hardly be. ex
pected, and in fact, was not brought about by tbe
interposition of their friends.— And these <7 ham* t
pions of honour went one half mile from the vil
lage, and fired at each others ivory two or fi-ree 1
times—but neither was so fortunate ai to Tall in*
the field—for the seconds had the precaution to
load the pistols with dough, which is admirably
calculated to heal wounded honour, black or
white. Pittsfield Sun.
