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. The following is a list of the officers of the Mis sionary Society of the Synod of South Carolina and Georgia for the ensuing year: Rev. Wm, H. Barr, President. Rev. Moses Waddell, D. D. 1 at. V. P.

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. General Intelligence. 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 outrages on the crews of three American vessels 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. [Bast, Cent. 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.— Westchester (JPa.) Pillage Record. The bill to abolish imprisonment for debt late ly before the Legislature of Tennessee, has been 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 propriation of money or the renewal of any cor porate body, to be sanctioned by two thirds of the legislature. [Sao. Gee. American Literature —American literature ap pears to be advancing in reputation abroad. A gentleman in Glasgow, writing to the editor of the New-York Daily Advertiser, informs him that *hey have nearly finished a stereotype edition in quarto of the late doctor Dwight’s Theology. Effects of Horse Racing. —At the jockey club races, at Washington, a horse bolted from the course, run against a Mr. Murray, of Washington, and a gentleman from Georgetown. The latter died of his wounds the next evening, and Mr. Murray lies extremely low. The Gazette of Pekin announces the death of the Chinese emperour Kea-King, in the following terms: 11 On the 27th day of the 6th month, his imperial majesty set out to dwell with the immor tals.” There was found after the tornado in New- 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. Proposals have been issued at Charleston, S. C. for publishing by subscription, “ Anecdotes of the Revolutionary War in America, together with Sketches of the character of the men the most distinguished in the United States by their civil and military services. By an officer of the Parti san Legion.” It is rumoured that Col. Callava has gone on to - Pensacola with the avowed intention of challeng ing Gov. Jackson. A Quack, calling himself Dr. O’Hara has been taken into custody at Suffolk, Va. for causing the death of a gentleman by administering so large a dose of tincture of opium for the cure of a head ache, as to cause his death in 12 hours. Guards for the Mail have been provided from Baltimore to Philadelphia on the night route. DIED , Suddenly, in this vicinity, on Monday evening last, Mrs. Martha M. Shivers, wife of Mr. Joqas Shivers,leaving an afflicted husband with an infant child, to lament a loss which will be long and keenly felt. In Wilkes county, on the 4th of Oct. George W. Cunningham, in his nineteenth year—and on the 19th of Oct. his brother, James A. Cunning ham, in his 21st year, leaving a wife and child. In Oglethorpe, on the 29th Oct. James Daniel, in his 80th year. He was a natiye of Pennsylva nia—a revolutionary character —a very respecta ble member and Elder of the Presbyterian church —a respectable and nsefui citizen—a kind and exemplary parent and master, and a liberal and constant supporter of the Gospel and of Charita ble Institutions. He has left behind him seven children—above 30 grand children, and five or six great grand children, tp hope,on good grounds, that he has gone to the rest and inheritance pre pared for the people of God. At Burlington, N. J. on the 24th tilt, at (he ad vanced age of 82, the Hon. Elias Boudinot, L. L. D. President of the American Bible Society, and one of the most eminent philanthropists of the age. Caution. A LL persons ‘are cautioned against trading for l\. Two Notes, given by me to Joshua Culver, for one hundred dollars each. One of the Notes was payable in December, 1818, the other in De cember, 1819. The year in which they were giv en is not certainly recojlected.
