THE MISSIONARY.
MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, DECEMBER 3
We believe an opinion is generally entertained
by the well-informed part of the community, that
the time has now arrived when something should
he done by Georgia to euable her to keep pace
with her sister States in those great schemes of
publick utility which ore rapidly enriching,
strengthening and adorning their political eocie.
ties, and elevating the confederated republick to
a higher pinnacle of real glory than has ever been
attained by any notion under heaven. We are
well aware that our countrymen are ridiculed by
foreigners for indulging in wild and splendid
dreams of national greatness ; and we are not so
sanguine as to believe that America is “ destined”
to the first rank in the scale of nations because
we have proceeded so far and so rapidly on our
march to the point we have in view ; or because
our present prospects are bright and flattering.—
Our belief is grounded on the fact, that a spirit
now pervades in a greater or less degree, every
State in the Union, which, if not checked by
some untoward calamity, will effect for the
American Republick, that which other and older
nations have never achieved by the most uninter
rupted series of victories and conquests. As in
the pursuit of all other worldly objects, our suc
cess must depend, under God, on our oum exer
tions. We cannot sit idly down, and rely upon
some unforeseen cause to facilitate our progress
in national improvement and political and moral
distinction. It is indeed ridiculous, to predict
that we shall become a great and powerful and
enlightened nation, because our territory has.be
come immense, our settlements extending as if by
mogick. and our population and individual wealth
increasing with unexampled rapidity. If the
strength and glory of a state depend on physical
force and the wealth of her subjects alone, the
re'publicks of Greece would have melted away be
fore the countless legions of Xerxes, and the mad
man of Macedonia would have been any thing
else than the conqueror of empires, The popula
tion of a country constitutes the crude materials
from which must be formed the temple of a na
tion’s greatness ; and in proportion as these ma
terials are polished and improved,will the strength
and beauty of the edifice be increased. People
North America with as many millions as there are
now thousands, and take from this mighty mass
of flesh and bone and sinew, all moral principle,
all national pride and publick spirit—subject
these millions to the dominion of ignorancg and
avarice—let them live only for themselves , and
like the plants around them “ vegetate and die,”
and where would be this modern Persia when the
treasures which nature had lavished upon her
should excite the cupidity and stimulate the am
bition of another Alexander !
It is only in wise publick institutions, political,
literary and moral—in the improvement of inter
nal advantages—in the readiness of the people to
sacrifice a portion of private interest to publick
good—and in the general extension of knowledge
and the principles of rational freedom among all
classes of population, that a state can expect to
find that strength which shall protect her from
foreign hostility, and that virtue which can save
her from the secret and more dangerous treache
ry of demagogues in her own bosom.
These constituents of power and safety are par
ticularly essential to a representative government.
Without them, all experience has demonstrated
that a republick cannot exist. And yet, strange
as it may seem, men wlio are not deficient either
in talents or patriotism, with a full conviction of
this great truth impressed upon their minds, have
acted in a manner calculated to induce the belief
that they were totally ignorant of its plainest dic
tates, or were bent upon a policy diametrically
opposite to that which it enforces.
Need the careful observer travel out of the
State of Georgia to find examples which will justi
fy this remark ? We only ask the unprejudiced
and candid reader to review the course pursued
by the Legislature in relation to the disposition of
the publick lands for several years past, and say
if the real interests of the body politick have been
subserved by the policy adopted—a policy which
has sacrificed to the individual emolument of one
generation, that which in part belonged to, and
should have benefitted another. If the selfish
maxim, let posterity take care of itself, is a part of
our political creed, then indeed our professions
and practice have exactly corresponded, and no
more remains to be said. But so thought not
the fathers of our revolution, when they staked
their lives and every thing which they held dear
in the world, upon the issue of a contest which
might have been avoided by the payment of a few
paltry taxes.
Publick property should be devoted to publick
purposes. But what advantage has the great body
of the people, as a political association , derived
from tiie late dispositions of the publick lands ?
We ask the question, aud before the read
er shall answer it in his own mind, let him cal
culate the revenue which the state would have
derived from their sale to actual settlers, even at
half their estimated value—let him look into the
publick coders—let him travel, in imagination,
(we have not the heart to send him in any other
waj) over the most populous and wealthy portions
of the state, and view the situation of our great
publick roads—roads over which are conveyed
the staple of the laud, the rich reward of the hon
est and industrious farmer—let him view the
bridgeless creeks, on the banks of which the wea
ry wagoner and his jaded beasts are compelled to
quarter themselves,and abide the“ peltings of the
pitiless storm,” until the superfluous waters shall
have passed by, and estimate the expense and
waste of time occasioned by these delays—let
him look upon the encouragement afforded to
Education —to thousands of children who are
to be the future men of the republick, grow
ing up in ignorance and consequent vice, many
of whom, could they receive the advantages of
literary instruction, might perhaps become the
pride and boast and ornament of their country
let him attentively consider these things—ant} if
his reason and his conscience upbraid him not, let
him raise his voice for the Lottery System !
W e believe there is a reaction of publick senti
ment on this subject; and that the next genera
tion will not be the first to deplore the errours Os
present day. There is certainly an increas
ing solicitude manifested by the people of this
state with respect to the measures which the pre
sent Legislature will adopt upon the great sub
jects of Education and Internal Improvement.
They feel that it is high time something should
be done, and done too with a spirit and a zeal
which shall secure publick confidence in the ul
timate success of the plans adopted.
Upon the subject of education, much has al
ready been said in the publick papers; and the
manner in which it is noticed in the Governour’s
Message must bring it directly before the Repre
sentatives of the people. To them is com
mitted the great duty of giving it a serious con
sideration ; and with them rests the responsibility
of giving the fund already appropriated for the
encouragement of useful learning, a direction
which will best promote the objects of its invest
ment.
The opening of roads and the construction Os
bridges is scarcely less important. That a great
majority of both Houses are decidedly in favour
of appropriations for these objects there seems to
be no doubt; but in regard to the amount and
the manner of executing the contemplated im
provements there appears to be a great diversity
of sentiment; and we are not without our fears
that this difference of feeling will defeat the adop
tion of any decisive and-permanent measures on
the subject in question. For ourselves, we have
not a doubt that liberal appropriations for these
objects would receive the sanction of a vast ma
jority of the people. Let them once enjoy,
though it be only in a limited manner, the advan
tages of an improvement which will enable them
to convey their produce to a market in a much
shorter time, and consequently at a reduced ex
pense, and know too, that this improvement will
be permanent—in short, the advantages of Good
Roads and Good Bridges —and we do not hesi
tate to say, that in a few years the State of Geor
gia will be little behind any of her sister states in
the facilities afforded to land conveyance.
Should the Members of the present Legislature
close the Session without having done something
besides talk upon the great business of Schools and
the improvement of those advantages with which
a bounteous Providence has endowed us, will
their constituents hold them innocent ?

State Legislature.
The General Assembly are still engaged chiefly
on business of a local or private nature. Before
the House of Representatives is a bill to repeal the
act allowing Debtors the privilege of prison
hounds; and also, one to provide for the perma
nent endowment of the University. This last
bill proposes to make an annual appropriation-for
the support of the University of SBOOO, in lien of
the property from which the funds of that Insti
tution are now derived. The hill to fix the sala
ries and fees of the publick officers, has passed the
House and is now before Senate. It makes no
alteration in the present salary us the Goveruour,
Judges, Attorney and Solicitors General. The
Salaries of the other State Officers and the fees of
county officers are reduced to the old standard,
prior to the increase of compensation in 1818. It
will not, it is thought, pass the Senate in its pres
ent shape, if it does at all. [S. Recorder.

The ship Cortes arrived at N. York on the 18th
nit. from Liverpool, which port she left on the
9th Oct.
The Cotton market at Liverpool, sap a letter
of Oct. 9th, “ continues in a deplorably dull state.
Cotton was yesterday almost without demand,
and prices are scarcely supported, more particu
larly lower and middling qualities, which are re
duced 1-8 to l-4d per lb.”
The imports into Liverpool during the month of
September, were 44,999 bales—of which 23,561
were from the U. States The sales during the
same period, were 43,950 ; and the stock on
hand, Oct. 1, amounted to 177,000 bales.
The injury sustained by the grain crops in Eng
land, and other parts of Europe, has been consid
erable, though not so extensive as was appre
hended at the commencement of harvest. Af-’
terthe arrival of the Cortes, flour was sold in N. |
York at $7 a 7 1-4 per hbl.
The appearances of a war between Russia and
Turkey have subsided ; and it is said that friend
ly relations have been established. Hostilities \
still continue between the Turks and Greek in- .
surgents. The latter have Jefeated the Pacha of
Salcnica in a bloody battle near Cassandra, in
which the monks of Mount Athos took a part ;
and it was rumoured that the Turks had experi
enced another defeat at sea.
The King of England is making a tour on the
continent. He landed in France on the 25th
September, and proceeded to Brussels, accompa
nied by the Duke of Wellington, with whom he ,
visited the battle ground of Waterloo. The French
napers say that the Princesses of the reigning
families in Germany have put themselves in the !
way of the royal widower on his route to Hanoi
ver, with views too obvious to require explana
tion.
Nothing of particular interest appears in the
papers in regard to the troubles in Spain.
A respectable English paper of the 7th Oct.
contains the following article j
Our readers will learn with some surprise, that
England and Spain are upon the eve of a state !
of things very little short of actual war ; and that i
a feather, almost, may turn the scale either way, I
This affair is briefly as followsln a Spanish
paper, called the Regulator, appeared in tenor 1
the following paragraph. “It is affirmed, that
hit Brittanick Majesty, George the Fourth, will
do himyelf the honour of taking a second wife in
his present journey to the continent; and that
fhis lady will be chosen from one of the German
courts—perhaps the youngest Princess of the
Austrian house of Esterhazy—a young lady of the
age of 18 years, and therefore extremely well suit
ed to the mature yeara of his British Majesty,
now in his COth year. The paper (hen goes on
to add, “ that this news can excite no surprise,
since there are persons to whom all crimes are
permitted, and who, though the object of general
exeefation, nevertheless enjoy all the favours of
fortune, if remorse do not assail them at every
hour and every minute of the day, and they are
permitted to enjoy the fruits of their misdeeds.”
Immediately upon the publication of this atro
cious libel, the British Ambassador applied to the
Spanish government, and demanded, as he had a
good right to demand, the punishment bf the li
beller. The Spanish government ordered the
prosecution of the editor and printer ; but the
grand jury, or what is tantamount to it in the
Spunish administration of justice, threw out, as
we should term it, the bill, endorsing on the back
of it that they saw no matter of prosecution in
the act alleged. The British Minister, therefore,
and the powerful monarch whom he represents,
have received no satisfaction for this atrocioui
insult, and, so far as Spain and her government
are concerned, have no explanation or satisfac
tion to expect for one of the most abominable li
bels in modern times!”

Distressing Erent.-On Sunday evening,2sth lit.
Mr. Newdy G. Connell, of this county, was burnt
to death about a mile from Warrenton. He was
on his way to Augusta with a wagon, and was last
observed sitting over a fire which he had prepar
ed for the night, and is supposed to have fallen
into it in a fit. When found, the flesh on one arm
and one side of his body was burnt almost to a
cinder. He continued in the most excruciating
agony until Monday afternoon, when he expired.
An attempt to rob the mail, and murder the
carrier was made between Stafford C. H. and
Fredericksburgh, Va. on the morning of the 12th
ult. The villain who made the attempt con
structed a blind near the road, from behind which
he discharged a musket at the carrier loaded with
three balls. Providentially neither took effect,
and the design was frustrated. One of the balls
was found in the mail bag.
Two American and one British vessel, captur
ed by pirates, have beeu retaken by the U. S.
brig Enterprise, which has also succeeded in de
stroying four piratical cruisers. Notwithstanding
,ihis success, however, there seems to be no di

been very lately reported, attended with circum
stances of extreme barbarity.
The number of inhabitants in Virginia, accord

At the late session of the Legislature of Ken
tucky, five members refused to take the oath re
quired against duelling —but were notwithstand
ing, allowed to take their seats. Perhaps there
was some management in this business, and the
oath dispensed with, in order to allow these five
gentlemen the enviable privilege of adjusting all
disputes among the members which might require
to be settled in an honourable way. We believe
that it is no new thing in the annals of duelling to

which a roan feels to have his brains blown out
solely on another person’s account may render
such cases somewhat rare.

Thomas Haswell, charged with robbing the
mail at Louisburgh, N. C. was tried at Raleigh
on the 14th ult. and found guilty. He was re

the court, when it is expected that facts will be
produced which will mitigate the severity of bis
punishment.

Progress of the Canal. — We are happy to state,
that the Canal from this place to the Little Falls,
has been completed within the time contemplat
ed, and opened for the purpose of navigation. ’
The water was let in from the termination of the
Utica level to the Falls, on Thursday last. On j
Friday morning, Mr. Seymour, acting commission- j
er on the Eastern section, Messrs. Wright and !
White, engineers, together with several other 1
gentlemen, started from this village in the Chief;
Engineer, and followed by three other boats, with j
passengers, performed the first trip on this inter- j
esting portion of the Erie Canal. At the Little!
Falls, the arrival of the boats was announced by a i
national salute aDd the cheers of a great number
of people who had assembled to witness the
scene. Here an incident took place which excit
ed considerable interest, particularly in the minds
of those on board who had participated in the
dangers and difficulties of the revolutionary war.
There was a gentleman present who belonged to
the family of General Washington, during the
latter part of that eventful period, and who re
ceived him on board his barge after he had taken
leave of the army at West Point, and conducted
him to New York, and from thence to Elizabeth
town, whence he took his departure for Annapo
lis, where Congress was then sitting, to resign his
commission. The rudder of the Chief Engineer
was surrendered to this gentleman, who guided
her into the first lock at the Falls, while the band
of musick played Washington’s march, and the
discharge of cannon reverberated from the sur
rounding hills.

More trouble among the Singing Masters —The
Westchester Herald, after alluding to the account
published some weeks since, of the “ Carlisle

hearts, &c. and finally a horse, with which be had
eloped, gives an account of another of the species,
who has been playing his demisemiquivers in that
co. Master Crotchet has been teaching a Singing
School atYorktown,where he was much esteemed
by the fair,and while in “the full tide of success
ful experiment,” a tip-staff very unceremoniously
gave him a slap on the shoulder, and conducted
him to jail at White Plains, charged with stealing
and selling a yoke of fat oxen, and also of enter
ing a store in South Salem, without the knowl
edge or consent of the owners, and taking sun
dry articles not unto him belonging, and without
paying any thing therefor. Johnson, (his name)
probably thought that we were already living un
der the new constitution, and that all was liberty
and equality now. It is said that since his remo
