ble publick interest. The time is probably not |
i'ar distant when it will embody the influence and !
1 iberality of the Presbyterian Church in all this
section of our couu try. As the Report of the
Managers will shortly issue from the press, we
shall not enter into many details at present. It
appears from this report, which was submitted
to the Society in an unfinished state, that a
great work has been commenced, and that this
work has been prosecuted with all that ardour
which it is calculated to inspire. The Officers of
of the Society have been limited in their exertions
only by their scanty means. Every thing has
gone forward with as much rapidity as could have
been expected ; and the smile of heaven has at
tended their incipient efforts. A mission has
been established in the Chickasaw nation, which
will, no doubt, diffuse light and salvation through
a large and desolate region, if it is not left to lan
guish for want of adequate support. Let the eye
of the Christian Church be turned to this spot as
affording, perhaps, the last hope to many degra
ded and perishing pagans, and we are persuaded
the heart will melt, and the hand of liberality in
stantly open for the support of our missionary
stationed there, and for the redemption of these
wretched sons of ignorance and degradation.
We have observed with great pleasure the pre
sence of a Missionary spirit of late in this part of
the Christian church. The effects of this spirit
were never more distinct and visible among us,
than at the late meeting of the Society. Every
member appeared desirous of bearing an active
part in the great work. The officers, and espe
cially those who have been connected with the
society from its organization, have stood faithful
ly at their posts. The Corresponding Secretary,
for the time and labour he has devoted to this
business, deserves the thanks of the Society, and,
we trust, will hereafter receive the gratitude of
many poor heathen who were ready to perish.
? The managers chosen for the present year,
1 have taken measures to supply with stated preach
ing, several destitute congregations in this state
and South Carolina, and have made all the ar
rangements in their power for the support of the
Mission among the Chickasaws. With the Chris
tian community the great question rests, whether
the work which they have undertaken shall go
on, or whether it shall expire for the want of the
necessary funds. We ardently hope, that the
cries of the heathen and of our own brethren who
are destitute of the gospel, will not be disregarded.
@n Saturday at 11 o'clock the Missionary Ser
mon was delivered by the Rev. Wm. H. Barr,
the President of the Society, from Mark xvi. 15.
The duty of the Christian church and the affect
ing plea in favour of heathen, which were present
ed in this discourse, we are persuaded, will long
be remembered and felt by those who were pre
sent oh this occasion. A contribution of SSB
65 cents was collected after the sermon, which
was a liberal sum considering the smallness of the
Congregation. The whole sum received at this
meeting was $1416 26 cents.
We cannot review the late meeting of the
Synod and Missionary Society without heart-felt
pleasure, and without a firm belief, that it is to
the Presbyterian Church, in this part of our land,
the dawn of better times. The session was re
markable for unity of sentiment and harmony of
feeling. A spirit of brotherly love appeared to
pervade the ministry, and the numerous sermons
which were delivered were generally able, affec
tionate and faithful. The audience was always
attentive,and sometimes solemn,and under the de
livery of the Missionary Sermon especially,deeply
affected. V\ e hope that in due time some spiritual
truit will appear among the people of Washington
atid its vicinity—and that they will be abundant
ly recompensed for their hospitality and attention
to the servants of Christ, in better and more dura
ble treasures than this world can afford.

On Saturday, Col. N. Ware, of Augusta was
elected without opposition to fill the vacancy in
the Senate of the United States occasioned by
the resignation of the Hon. F. Walker. The oth
er elections resulted in the choice of N. P. Bond
Esq. to he Solicitor of the Eastern Circuit, in the
room of Wm. Law, Esq. resigned—and of Col.
Samuel Groves to be a commissioner of the Land
Lottery in the room of D. Terrell, Esq. resigned.
Several propositions of great importance are al
ready.before the Legislature. Among them we
would particularly notice one by Mr. Ryan of
Warren, to alter the Constitution so as tp have
the Goveruour elected by the people, and the
bill introduced in Senate by Mr. Harden, of I
Chatham, to establish a Board of Publick Works.
This bill contemplates the improvement of all our
rivers as far as practicable ; and the construc
tion of a great turnpike road from Savannah to
Augusta ; another from Augusta, by Washington,
Lexington and Athens, to the boundary of the
Cherokee Nation ; and a third from Augusta by
Milledgeville, to the boundary of the Creek Na
tion, on the route to the seat of Government in
Alabama. We congratulate the people of this
state on the prospect of having these great im
provements in active progress in a very short
time.

LAND LOTTERY.
From the Recorder , Nov. 13.
The Drawing of the Land Lottery which com
menced last Tuesday will be completed, it is
thought, by the first of January, about 400 prizes
being daily drawn.
The Executive has contracted with the Editors
of the Southern Recorder to print and deliver at
the Executive Office, on Monday evening in each
week, the names of the fortunate drawers in the
Land Lottery, to be forwarded by mail to the
Clerks of the Inferiour Courts of the several coun
ties.
[The rapidity of the drawing renders it impos
sible to publish in our paper even the names ,
(which is all we could do under any cirumstan
ces) of Fortunate Drawers in the present lottery,
without devoting double the room which was oc
cupied by the list of last year. We should not
be able to complete the publication of the whole
until the last of March, and as the drawing will
probably close by the first of January, it will be
readily seen that the publication of names only,
in a weekly paper, would be an unnecessary
waste of room, when all the information required
by the drawer, in regard to the situation of his
lot, &c. can be obtained many weeks earlier by
the means provided.]
No intelligence from Europe of a later date
than the news of last week has been received.
Fall of Carthagena. —The account of the cap
ture of Carlhagena by the Patriots is confirmed.
It is again said that Lima has finally surrender
ed to the besieging army of Gen. San Martin, aid
ed by the naval force under Lord Cochrane.
Three of the pirates who committed the horrid

in the harbour of Matanzas have been arrested,
aud two of them have been already executed.
Liverpool, Sept. 16.
The King's Return to London. —The Royal
squadron, with his Majesty on board, sailed from
Dunleary harbour, on Wednesday, the 6th inst.
and proceeded within the banks to near Wick
low, when the wind came directly round and
headed them, so that they could not possibly get
through the Swash, the name of the deep water
between the Kish bank and Arlow bank. The
squadron, therefore, was obliged to put about,
and a/t five o’clock P. M. on Wednesday, came
to its old moorings at Dunleary, after having been
at sea seven hours. On Saturday the Royal
Squadron sailed from Dunleary (which is now
called King’s Town) aud arrived in Milford Ha
ven on the next day. The King was detained
by contrary winds at Milford Haven till ten o’clk.
on Monday night. His Majesty sailed the next
day with the intention to bear round the Land’s
End, and up the channel to Portsmouth ; but the
wind being adverse, his Majesty returned to Mil
ford, and landed there about five o’clock, A. M.
on Wednesday last, and set off with post horses
on his way to London.
The turn of his Majesty’s head, the shape of
his hat and clothes have become quite the fashion
in Ireland since the King’s visit: every act of the
royal personage has found a crowd of admirers;
even the manner in which his majesty drank his
wine is imitated in every company by those who
wish to have a character as judges of the flavour
of Rhenish. The King on publick occasions al
ways drank bumpers, but he kept his glass four
times longer to his lips than is ordinarily allowed
for swallowing a cheerful glass, and seemed to sip
the wine drop by drop, so that the palate had the
fullest opportunity of imbibing the flavour of, no
doubt, a rare and rich vintage. The King threw
his head gently back as he sipped his glass, but
never took the wine from his lips until he had
cleared the bumper.
Gibraltar, Aug. 11.
Extraordinary Swimming. —Mr. Jas. Graham,
a gentleman belonging to the garrison, undertook
on the Bth inst. to swim from Waterport wharf to
Algesiras, and to the astonishment of every body,
reached to within musket shot of that town, in
the space of four hours and a quarter, when he
got into one of the boats by which he was follow
ed, complaining of nothing but excessive thirst.
The distance in a straight line is about 5 miles and
a half; but as Mr. Graham was forced out by the
current almost every time that he lost sight of the
house that he was steering to, by swimming on
his back, it is supposed that he may have swam
altogether about 8 miles. Tht feats of Leander,
and of a noble poet of the present day, is boy’s
play to this.
In a decree issued by the Congress of the New
Republick of Columbia, some provisions have
been made for slaves, which deserves to be re
corded at length.
“ All the offspring of the slave born after the
date of this decree, shall be free. Their masters
w ill bring them up and provide for them until the
18th year, and until that period enjoy their servi
es.
“No slaves can be sold beyond the province
of their habitation ; nor can any children be sepa
rated from their mothers. Slaves can no longer he
imported ; and a foreigner arriving in any of the
ports of Columbia, will be allowed to import but
one, under the denomination of a servant, whom
he must carry with him on leaving the country,
otherwise he will be looked upon as free. Those
slaves who have hitherto performed useful services
to the Republick, will forthwith be considered as
free.”
Uncommon Circumstance A correspondent
in Barnstable county inform* us, that on Sunday
night last, a shoal of fish of the Whale species, to
the number of nearly 100, came or were driven
on shore, on Indian Neck, and Bcachhill Cove,
in Wcllfleet, oil Cape Cod; where they were left
by the tide. They were discovered early on
Monday morning by a lad who was gunning, and
who marked 57 of the best of them for his father,
and then gave information of the others. They
measure from 10 to 25 feet in length, and the
oil extracted from them is said to be but little ip
feriour to sperm oil. The value of the whole
shoal is estimated at $2500; and the father of
the lad mentioned has been offered SIOOO for the
57 marked by him. It is expected they will net
him SISOO. These fish are known by the name
of the Black Whale fish, and formerly were com
mon on our coast., but have not been seen for ma
ny years past. It is said to be peculiar to them,
when they find themselves in shallow water, from
fright, or other cause, to run on shore and perish.

I “ The worm that dieth not , and the fire that is
not quenched.”
A must wonderful confession by a dying man
has lately been made, explaining things that have
been long hidden in mystery, and unfolding a
dreadful scene of iniquity.
A few years ago a barn was burnt, and all at
tempts to discover the conflagrator proved inef
fectual. The dying .man, referred to, tortured by
the pangs of conscience, to which those of deatli
were sensations of pleasure, had the horrid secret
wrung from his soul. He confessed that he had
robbed and murdered a man, and placing the
corpse in a bam, had set it on fire to conceal his
crime. He had au accomplice ; that accomplice
is still living, and justice, though slow of foot will
surely overtake him.
Such is a part of a story related to ns in a way
to command our belief. Further particulars shall
be given soon. In the mean time, let him that
meditates evil, know, that God is the avenger of
crimes, and murder never escapes punishment.—

rejected. The bill to establish a penitentiary has
been also rejected.
Watch.— Phineas Davis, of York, Pennsylva
nia, has made an ingenious little Watch, which is
now exhibited in the Philadelphia Museum. Its
circumference is a little less than a 6 cent piece,
and only 3-16 of an inch in depth ; it is a patent
lever, keeps good time, and goes for 30 hours. It
is said to be the most curious and accurate piece
of mechanism ever exhibited.
A second Whitcjield. —The Rev. Mr. Maffitt,
a Methodist preacher from Great Britain, has re
cently excited much attention in Boston by his
eloquence. So great has been the curiosity to
hear him, that the churches have been overflow
ed, all the avenues to them blocked up by the
people, and the preacher compelled to enter the
pulpit by the window.
Prophecies. —Counsellor Lilliensteru, of Frank
fort on the Mayne, has published a very singular
work in which he attempts to prove argumenta
tively aud methodically, that the predictions res
pecting Antichrist are now on the eve of being
accomplished. Antichrist, he asserts, will ap
pear in 1823; his arrival will be succeeded by
ten years of religious wars; after which the mil
lenium, as he assures us, will commence in 1836.
The New York Convention have not yet closed
their labours. Among their latest proceedings
were—giving to the people at large the right of
suffrage; the gubernatorial term to be two years
—the state to be divided into eight senatorial dis
tricts ; the pay of members of assembly to be $3
per day; no officer of the U. S. to be eligible to a
seat in the Legislature; and all bills for the ap

Hampshii*, in the southerly part of Groton, a
tavern day book , which it was suspected was
brought there from the county of Franklin, in the
tornado. A letter was addressed to the Post
Master at Warwick, describing the book, and he
was able to identify it, and tell whence it was ta
ken. He says it was in the dwelling house of
Mr. Jonathan Wilson, of Warwick, which house
was entirely demolished by the tornado in less
than ten seconds of time. The book must have
been carried forty-five miles in a direct line.
