If r ou approve of the suggestion, you will please
tolgive notice to female societies to furnish cloth

] en wanting on my part to have the buildings j
-warded as speedily as possible, and at as little
i pense as the nature of the cate would admit.
1 mve ever regretted that we had so large a fam
j to support, which afforded so few labourers.
iope the Society will, in fature, guard against a
j ie procedure, and be more particular in inquir
i g into the character of families, which they may
ink of employ ing. My burden has been greatly
increased, my feelings have been much hurt, and
j tie progress of the Mission retarded by the im
j proper conduct of one of the families employed
Ibjf lie Society last fall.
r Ir it would be judged consistent with the ob
! set of the Society, I should advise that we hire
1 Jack people in future, as labourers. These
iould probably be had on better terms than white
abourers. The expense of providing for them ;
vould be less, and by employing one steady, in-;
lustrious white man to labour with them and at- ’
end to them, I believe we could have more work
lone. The difficulty of procuring white men, and
,he uncertainty as to the length of time they I
vould stay with me, has suggested this arrange
nent. It is indispensable that we have 20 or 25 ,
pcres of land cleared next winter for cultivation !
fcext season. About 40 acres well cultivated, I
- Jielieve would supply the family. We should, if j
possible, be independent of our neighbours in (his
fespect. We should also endeavour to raise stock |
Jo supply the family with meat. This is attended
with some difficulty in this country. Beasts of ,
jprey are very plenty, particularly wolves, which ;
are destructive to stock. The stock at present j
Belonging to the Mission are 15 milch cows with
,<heir calves, valued at sls each. 1 expect in
,the ifonrse of next spring to receive the balance
subscribed, and perhaps, some more : twenty-four
;Wine, worth $49: one horse, worth SIOO. The
other property may be worth about S6O.
Should there be a family or families coming on
this fall, it would certainly be better to purchase a
wagon and team to transport them than to hire.
The Society has already paid out for the hire of a ,
wagon and team, a sum sufficient to have pur-!
chased a good wagon. If you have no families to
send on, I expect 1 can procure a wagon and
team in Tennessee on better terms than you can j
in South Carolina. I hope you will use some ex- i
ertion to have me supplied as soon as possible.
After Mr. Pickens leaves me, my business must
unavoidably be suspended for a while.
Dear brother, the work in which we are enga j
ged, is of immense magnitude. It calls for our
united prayers and efforts. It demands unwea
ried diligence to meet every emergency, and con
stant application, to have everj want supplied.
We must expect delays and discouragements in 1
our way ‘These are necessary for the trial of our
faith and patience, and to convince us that we
are dependent creatures Yet we must not be ;
weary iu well doing. In the Lord’s own time we |
will reap the fruit of our labours. I seem, as yet,,
to have done nothing. I cannot say that I have j
been instrumental in the conversion of a single 1
heathen to the service of the Lord. A decent j
and regular attendance upon my ministrations, is
♦he only encouragement which I have had. The .
Indian woman, mentioned in the journal of the i
6th of May, as being seriously impressed, has at-1
tended meeting but once since I have no ,
doubt she is restsained by her husband. 1 I
have no way of ascertaining the state of her mind, !
for waut of an interpreter. This is a circumstance
ever to be lamented.
If convenient, please to send me a quantity of
tracts, assorted. These are read with considera
ble interest by those who are able to read. u The
Swearer’s Prayer,” “ Thoughts on the Observa
tion of the Sabbath,” and the tract entitled, *“ The
True Prophecies,” might be useful in this country.
I wish it to be understood by the Society that
they no longer consider themselves indebted to
me for my services during my tour among the In
dians, with Mr. Humphreys. I would rather add
to their funds than diminish them, were it iy my
power.
Tearing that this communication could not
reach Columbia before you set out for Synod, 1
shall direct it to Washington, Georgia. Let me

THE MISSIONARY.
MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26.
We have given to our readers, in this day’s pa
per, copious extracts from a letter addressed to
the Corresponding Secretary of the Missionary
Society >f (he Synod of South Carolina and Geor
gia, by the Rev. Mr. Stewart, the Missionary sta
tioned at Monroe. It appears from t'.is commu
nication, as well as from documents already be
fore the publick, that this mission among the
\Chickasaws is yet in its infancy, and that much
labour and perseverance are necessary for the at
tainment of those desirable objects proposed by
its founders and patrons. In the prosecution of
this business, funds are indispensably necessary ;
and unless the pious and the liberal come forward
for the support of the newly established mission,
these poor heathen must be abandoned by the
man of God who has gone to instruct them in sci
ence and religion, and what has already been ex
pended upon this enterprise, must be thrown away
forever.
Two things we would wish especially to impress
upon the publick mind. One is, that the attempt
to evangelize the nations upon our borders, affords
every rational hope of success; and the other, I
that we are far behind our brethren in other parts j
of Christendom, in promoting the active schemes
—of benevolence which are now exciting the ener- !
gits of the world.
We feel no hesitation in saying, that the :
scheme of Indian reformation is practicable. On
this point, theory has been solved by experience.
It has long been acknowledged by all who have i
any correct information on the subject, that the
Aborigines of the American continent are not in
feriour, in original genius, to the natives of any ,
country. Their perceptions are quick and accu
rate—their imaginations lively and vivid—their ‘
memories ready and retentive—and their reason-1
ing powers as correct and vigorous as oould be
expected in minds of the highest intellectual or
der, which have hardly received the first rudi
ments of instruction. If we would learn what ed
ucation can do for thes long-benighted children
of the forest, we must go to the Chkrokeks,w!io,
under the guidance of Missionaries, are rapidly
emerging from barbarism,and preparing to assume
and maintain a rank among those who were born
and nurtured under the fostering influence of the
best political and religious institutions. The facts
which are before the puhlick an this point, can
not be controverted ; and they are ofsuch a cha
racter and exist in such numbers as to confute all
the gloomy and sarcastick predictions of those,
who have adopted as a kind ot fundamental arti
cle of their creed, the sentiment, that savages
cannot be benefited by instruction. The Choc
taws too have opened their arms for the most cor
dial reception of Missionaries ; and the labourers
at Elliot have met with every encouragement
in the prosecution of their work,which could have
been authorized by a rational contemplation of
the means which have been employed, and the
obstacles of ignorance and prejudice which were
to be sinuiounted before the first promises of hope
could be realized. And the Cuickasaws are not
less favourable to instruction. Here is presented
before us an extended field already white “to the
harvest ; and he that reapeth shall receive a re- i
ward, and gather fruit onto life eternal. These j
savages can be tamed ; and it is the duty of those I
who are in the quiet and happy possession of all 1
the blessings which civilization and Christianity
can bestow, to employ, without delay, the ne
cessary meals for extending the same blessings to 1
them.
After an impartial survey of different sections
of the Christian Church in our own country, we
are constrained to say, that we are far behind our
Northern and Eastern brethren in our zeal and ex
penditures for propagating die gospel and evan
gelizing the world. In proportion to our means
we have done very little indeed to enlighten the
savages upon our own borders, or to erect the
standard of the cross and to insure its triumphs
among the pagans of another hemisphere. In
this great concern we have been indifferent too
long already ; and it is high time, that we should
now feel the dreadful responsibilities which
rest upon us. The blood of souls will be required
at our hands, if the cries of perishiug immortals
: pass unheeded, and if v e fly not in time to their
relief. It is true, that something has been done
of late for the promotion of the Missionary cause
r in this part of our country and in these efforts
! every friend of Zion must rejoice. But how
much more might be accomplished if the demands
of the heathen were duly weighed—how much
more would be speedily effected if the spirit of
Christ were more deeply to pervade the bosom
of the Southern Church.
j Let it not be supposed, that we would depre
! ciate any of the exertions which have been made
jof late for the neighbouring tribes of Indians. To
us it is deemed a favourable omtn, that these ex
j ertions have been simultaneously commenced by
’ different denominations of Christians; and it
j might be difficult to say whether the Baptist,
! Methodist, or Presbyterian church has manifested
: most zeal, liberality and self denial in this glorious
, work in which angels might desire to engage. We
wish prosperity to all—and in order that all the
good may be accomplished which our means ap
pear to authorize us to expect, we would deßire
to leave the impression on the heart of every
Christian, that God will require these heathen at
our hands.

General Intelligence.
In consequence of the heavy rains of the past
week, no mail has been received from Augusta
since Thursday last, and to this circumstance
must be imputed the barrenness of our news de
partment.
The latest English dates are only to the 2ist
September ; and arrivals are anxiously looked for
by the speculators in cotton,flour,&c. who are pla
ced in no very agreeable suspense by the unusual
period which has elapsed since the receipt of any
information from the English markets. The price
of Flour in the northern cities, which was consid
erably advanced by the last news from England,
is declining. The sales of Cotton in Augusta
on Monday last, were brisk at 13 o 16 1-4.
London, September 15.
We have received, this morning, the Paris Pa
pers of Monday and Tuesday last. Their con
tents are of considerable importance, particularly
in what relates, to Spain, where
every day more fierce, and the revolution seems
hourly hastening tc that close which every un
prejudiced observer, who marked its origin and
watched its progress, must have anticipated.
Scene by scene, and not by act, the drama has
I gone on, developing its plot and unfojding its
characters with as much consistency as the most
skilfully constructed tragedy.—What is now the
situation of the country, and what the situation of
; the King ? The former is convulsed with dissen
tions, conspiracies and civil war ; the latter, in
sulted, defied, and all but dethroned. The very
copious extracts which we have given preclude
us today from entering more largely upon the
i ominous aspect of affairs in that conptry ; but our
readers need only peruse the intelligence we lay
before them, duly to appreciate a crisis which
appears inevitable. —Courier.
The papers also contain a Turkish document
of some interest, though it is too long to give to
day. We allude to the Manifesto of the Grand
Seignior, which was published in the Austrian
Observer of 7th instant. It is dated the middle ol
last month, and addressed to all the Grand Vi
ziers, Mirinianus, Mollahs, Wayvoues,.and other
publick functionaries of the Ottoman Govern
i meut. The purport of this Manifesto is, to set
forth the benign and paternal protection which
the Sublime Porte has ever extended towards all
its subjects, and towards the Greeks in particu
lar ; to deplore and condemn the rebellious con
duct of the latter in certain provinces of the em
pire ; and lastly, which is the most important
part of the documtnt, to forbid that any violence
or injury should be offered to the persons or pro
perty of the Greeks, except in cases of positive
insubordination. Any publick officer, or other
individual, violating this injunction, is threatened
with the penal displeasure of the Grand Seignior.
What practical effect may result from this de
claration in favour of the unoffending Greeks, it
might be hazardous to conjecture. We can only
j hope that it will check those wanton massacres
j and indignities, the details of which have lately
l been so afflicting to humanity.
! The news from Constantinople is to the 13th
; ult. when tranquility continued to prevail in that
capital. Twenty of the malefactors, who had
been daily occupied in committing massacres,
; had been executed, and a hundred sentenced to
the bastinado.
From the National Intelligencer.
At the resent elections in Georgia, the votes of:
the people were taken on the question of authori- !
sing a Convention to revise and amend the Con- ]
stitution of the state. It appears that not more
than half of the electors of the state, about 23,000, !
gave any vote on the queston ; but of the number ;
given, more than three-fourths were against a i
Convention; so that the measure is put to sleep
for the present. We confess that we are surpris
ed at this result, and if we might be allowed to
express any feeling on the subject, we also regret
it. If the people of the state are satisfied with
their constitution as it is, no one else has a risht
to object to it; but it seems to us, if they prefer
its present form, and fear innovation, they ought
to have authorized a Contention to secure it from
change, inasmuch as the Legislature now have
the power of altering it at pleasure. The ques
tion, therefore, presented a paradox, in form—
because those who desired no changes, were ne
cessarily in favour of a convention, to amend ; A
those who wished the constitution left at the
mercy of the Legislature, and thus liable to fire
quent alteration, were, of course, the oppouents
of amendment.
Description of the Whirlwind and Water-Spout
in Lake Sanapee.
The people in New-London, N. H. on Sunday,
6 o’clock, P. M. Sept. 9, 1821, were observing a
cloud of frightful blackness which obscured the
northern and western quarters of the heavens,
illumined by a continual blaze of lightning, with
a roar of thunder, portentous of a terrible tem
pest fast approaching, and threatening destruc
tion by wind and hail; when there appeared in
Lake Sanapee, a Water-Spout, rapidly
ing New-London, [which borders upon the Lake]
like a pillar of black cloud charged with mischief,
20 rod 9 diameter in the water, and half a mile to
wards its top, reaching to the heavens—whirling
and foaming terribly—ploughing and carrying up
the water. On reaching the land, it scraped up
the ploughed ground, with which, and the water,
it plastered every thing in its passage across New
London. A considerable tempest of wind, rain,
and some hail, followed one mile in its rear.

Dreadful effects of Gambling.— The Malay,
when he has lost his all, and perhaps pawned
his wife, his children, nay himself, for debts at the
gambling table, seizes his knife and desperately
“ runs a muck at all he meets,” in the street,
cutting, stabbing, and murdering every one who
falls in his way, until be is shot down, or disarm
ed, exhausted, by someone of superiour strength.
An instance of a similar description occurred late
ly in Paris. An individual, who had lost his all,
rushed from the gambling table, entered the shop
attended by a lady, shut the door after him and
stabbed her; a female servant who entered was
laid low by nine stabs of his dagger, and the la
dy’s nephew, who came to her assistance, was
also stabbed in several places; he then fled to
to the street, and was not secured until he had
stabbed two other persons. All this, says the ac
count,occurred in the most frequented part of the
capital. Phis, however, is not the conclusion of
the story, bloody enough in all conscience already.
He was taken to the guard house at the Bank,
which he had scarcely entered when he drew a
pistol from his pocket and blew his brains out!

By a late estimate, it appears that the real es

A brick building of three stories had been erect
ed and the workmen were placing the timbers to
receive the roof. They had collected timber and
several thousand brick, (altogether weighing 10
or 15 tons,) upon the third floor. Seven men
were at this time in the building, and two or three
were about entering it ; Ethan Button and Alex
ander Allen were on the first floor; Button had
come in on business and was standing as a spec
tator j Mr. Ely was on the second floor and the
other four on the third floor, when the third floor
gave way and with all the timber and brick, went
down, carrying with it in one general crash, the
two floors beneath and the timber connected with
them. The four meu who were on the third
floor escaped without severe injury, as did Mr.
Ely who was on the second; Allen and Button,
who received the whole mass upon their heads,
were taken from the ruins not only alive, but ap
parently out of danger; Mr. Allen was soon ex
tricated, but more than 30 minutes elapsed before
the immense weight of timber and brick was re
moved from Button. It is impossible intelligibly
to describe the situation in which- Button was
found. We can only say that death touched him
on every side, and had his body been moved in
either direction from the place it occupied, his
destruction would have been inevitable. So true
is it that though man's heart deviseth his way , the
Lord direetelh his steps.
