During the last week, (the 2d iu Octo-|
her) we attended in company with many
other brethren, a meeting at the Hawfields,
12 miles west of this. This Churb is unit- j
ed with the Cross Roads. Mr. Montgome- j
ry, a licentiate of this Presbytery, has been !
with them some time as a stated supply,
and his labours have been greatly blessed
to them.
This meeting was said to have been the
largest ever known in this part of the coun
try. There were 110 wagons and 84 tents.
(Such is the statement 1 have heard from
good authority—l did not count them.)
The exercises were peculiarly solemn
and interesting. A deep solemnity pre
vailed over the whole assembly; and dur
ing the whole of the meeting, never was
more anxiety to hear the Gospel manifest
ed. There was no disorder or confusion,
and but little noise, except among those
who were greatly distressed on account of
their sins. The number that manifested a
heartfelt concern for the salvation of their
souls, I think, was about 200; some say
300. The Elders of the Church, and aged
Christians remarked, that it was the great
est work that ever made its appearance
among them : That it exceeded in the
number of subjects, and the solemnity of
its exercises, the great revival which took
place in this region about 1802 or 1803,
during the great work in the western coun
try, remarked for the bodily exercies which
prevailed. During the services, not more
than a third of the congregation could have
been accommodated with room in the
church. The exercises were consequent
ly conducted in the open air.
From 1500 to 2000 people were assem
bled every night in the grove. The scene
was peculiarly solemn and impressive. An
awful stillness rested upon the congrega
tion—a silence uninterrupted, save by the
rustling leaf and the voice of mercy in the
Gospel. The children of God seem great
ly refreshed by these displays of his power
and tokens of his sovereign grace. We
pray for the continuance and spread of this
glorious work. This section of our coun
try is veiy destitute of labourers : the har
vest is great and help i greatly needed.
We trust “the Lord will provide.”
With much regard, yours,
J. WITHERSPOON.
THE MISSIONARY.
MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, DECEMBER 10.
Among the many schemes of philanthropy that
distinguish and adorn the present age of the world,
there are few upon which the eye of Christian be
nevolence can rest with more pleasure than upon
those means which are now in active and success
ful operation, both in Europe and America, to
improve the moral condition of Seamen. A short
time since, and our great mercantile towns pre
sented a gloomy spectacle to those who felt an
interest in the future welfare of a class of men
proverbial for their vices, but yet possessing some
traits of character which do honour to human na
ture. In these towns the Gospel was indeed
preached, and thousands attended upon its min
istrations ; but few of those “ that go down to
the sea in ships, that do business upon great wa
ters,” and “ see the glory of the Lord, and his
wonders in the deep,” weie found among his wor
shippers in the sanctuary. An almost total neg
lect of religious duties was a characteristick mark
of a sea-faring life ; and the Sabbath day, if not
past in the commission of open and profligate vi
ces, was wasted away in thoughtless idleness or
unnecessary labour. The habits and dispositions
of seamen render them averse to mingling with the
mixed assemblies of churches, and thousands who
in their early youth constantly attended upon the
religious exercises of the Sabbath, have, by long
neglect, become so indifferent to Christian insti
tutions, as to pass whole years without eutering
the doors of a sanctuary, or hearing the name of
their Maker pronounced, except in the horrid
language of profanity ! Inured to hardships and
dangers, they acquire a kind of indifference to
their own fate, which they esteem as a virtue, and
the unrestrained indulgence of every propensity
of the human heart, they seem to consider as their
peculiar privilege, because the nature of their em
ploy ment allews them to enjoy the company of
their friends, and the society of the world, only
at intervals, “ short, and far between.” They
have, too, been considered by many quite as hope
less subjects of religious instruction or moral im
provement as were the aborigines of our forests,
before the late efforts of Christian charity proved
to the world how erroneous was the idea that an
Indian could not be tamed, civilized and Chris
tianized. But the same means, with the blessing
of heaven, is now proving, that seamen aie willing
and disposed to attend to the ordinances of the
Gospel, and feel it a duty to listen to the voice of
the living preacher, as one of the appointed means
for obtaining that knowledge and that grace
which cau alone afford them consolation in the
prospect of death, the terrors of which not all
their acquired hardihood can fully conquer.
The establishment of Mariners' 1 Churches in
many of our large sea-ports, has led hundreds to a
devout attendance upon religious services, who
perhaps could never have been prevailed upon to
enter a church of another description. There they
listen to the promises, the intreaties and the warn
nings of the Sacred Volume, and there they are
instructed in the great doctrines which it incul
cates, by preachers appointed by those whose dis
interested benevolenee has led them to engage in
promoting the dearest interest* of seamen, and
whose reward can only be appreciated in the al
lotments of another world.
It is not one of the least happy circumstances
attending these exertious, that Christians of most !
denominations are unitedly engaged in the great j
work. At the door of a Mariner's Church, the
sectarian feelings which unhappily pervade the
Christian community are laid aside, and the on
ly strife is, who shall do most to encourage aDd i
promote the £ausc of Christ among the wander- I
I ing sons of the ocean. Much has already been
done ; and who can estimate the amount of good
which will ultimately be effected from the united
prayers and exertions of Christians, aided as they
are by a corresponding disposition on the part of
seamen to improve the advantages which are af
forded for their improvement and happiness ? May
we not confidently indulge the hope, that the pe
riod is fast approaching, when the moral condition
of a numerous portion of our enterprising coun
trymen, whose services are of the first importance
to the nation—who have done so much to in
crease our wealth and exalt our character abroad,
and on whom we can so safely rely for protection
from foreign aggression,will be elevated to a stand
ard which shall leave no reproach upon the Chris
tian church, and make abundant amends for the
indifference but too long manifested towards that
interesting class of our fellow immortals,
“ Whose march is o'er the mountain wave,
“ Whose home is on the deep .”
Among other important subjects to which the
attention of the Legislature of South Carolina is
directed by the Governour, are a complete revis
ion of the present system of jurisprudence—a me
lioration of the severity of the Penal Code, and
the construction of solitary cells in county goals,
for the imprisonment of persons convicted op
crimes other than murder, and inciting slaves to
insurrection. A change in the mode of punish
ment of offences committed by slaves and other
blacks, which shall be less repugnant to the sug
gestions of humanity, is likewise recommended ;
and, as one great cause of the present severity of
punishment is attributed to “ the inhuman traflick
of slaves with our sister states,” by which many
of the worst characters are introduced and imposed
upon planters,the Legislature are called upon “to
arrest this enormous evil, and check a vice whose
rapid growth threatens the peace of society.”
The militia system of the state has come in for
a more than ordinary share of attention : and the
necessity of a well organized militia properly dis
ciplined, is urged with much force. Asa mean
of further and more effectual instruction, the Gov
ernour suggests the propriety of a separate enrol
merit of all young men between the ages of 20
and 25, a full regiment of whom shall be required
annually to assemble and encamp within their res
pective divisions, to be instructed in the police of
the camp, &c. under the direction of offi ers spe
cially appointed, and for such a period of time as
the Legislature rnay direct : and to be exempted
from all ordinary miiitia duty except the annual
parade. As “ popular favour, not always the
test of merit, advances to office those who are not
capacitated to discharge its duties,” it is recom
mended that all field officers shall rise ill their
respective regiments, &c. by seniority , and that
j every officer accepting of a commission, shall hold
it for the period of two years at least, unless a
satisfactory cause for resigning shall be given.
A revision of the criminal code of North Caro
lina, so as to abolish the barbarous practice of
cropping , is strongly recommended by Governour
Franklin, in his late message to the Legislature
of that state. He declines a re-election.
Superstition in France. —Two persons were
lately sentenced by a French court, to two years
imprisonment, for severely burning an old man
whom they accused of sorcery. It appeared on
the trial that these men were fully impressed w'ith
a conviction, that some family inconveniences to
which they were subjected, arose from the agency
of the supposed sorcerer, and one of them declar
ed to the court, that since the fire had compelled
the old man to undo his charm, he had found no j
difficulty in making butter Irom the milk of his {
cows, and that the vermin which had formerly
tormented him, had all left his premises.
FIRE !
On Saturday morniug last, about 3 o’clock, the
new ami spacious dwelling-house of the Rev. N.
S. S. Bernan, in the vicinity of this place, was en
tirely consumed, together with a great portion of
its contents. The fire originated in one of the
chambers,from some defect in tne chimney, and
before the family were apprized of the danger, it
had made such progress as to render ail attempts
to extinguish it unavailing. Most of the furniture
on the first floor was saved ; but all above, includ
ing a valuable library, Sc nearly the whole of his
papers, was destroyed. Several students of the
Academy, who were members of his family, lest
the greater part of their effects. The damage sus
tained by this afflictive providence, is estimated
at five thousand dollars.
State Legislature.
The bill to provide for the permanent endow- ,
ment of the University, and to appropriate mon

The Turks and Greeks. —The contest between
the Greeks and their oppressors, is continued ob
stinately', but it is impossible for us to speak with
any degree of certainty with regard to the rel
ative situation of the belligerents. By an extract
in a subsequent column, dated London, Sunday
evening, October 21, (the latest date received)
it will be seen that if true, the Greeks have gain
ed some importanf advantages over the Turks.
All accounts, however, concur in staling that
there is no prospect of war between any of the
Continental Powers and the Turks. The Rus
sian forces are represented to be withdrawing
from the lines of the Turkish provinces. The
Courier says there is not “a man breathing, we
presume, whose mind has been expanded by the
iore of antiquity, and whose opinions partake of
the spirit of the age in which we live, who would
not devoutly exclaim “ May the Greeks be free!”
But the statesman and the politician would pause
ere they acted upon this impulse. The most val
uable good of life may be purchased at a price far
beyond its value; and if, (as would be almost in
evitably the case) the independence of Greece
could only spring from the dislocation of the ex
isting political relations of Europe, who would
not consider that price as too great ? The Greeks
have with them the wishes of every people ; but
we venture to affirm, they cannot expect the co
operation of any. N. Y. Sped.

Death of Bergami. —We were all astonished
to hear of the Queen’s death ; it was indeed sud ■
den : but will y r ou not likewise be surprised to
hear that the famous M. Bergami is also dead ?
The Queen died on the 7th : he died on the 10th,
with a complaint in his bowels. 1 first heard it
reported in this city, and had it confirmed on my
visit to the Ville d’Este, on the lake of Como.
This is where the Queen lived, and it still belongs
to her, or at least to her executors.

Dear Sir— We have yours of the sth and 6th

have charged each Contractor who has violated
his contract in that respect, with a penalty of One
Dollar a mile, in every case that has come to my
knowledge for some time past; and it is my de
termination to debit every offender. 1 shall, as
usual, rely upon your vigilance in reporting each
case that comes to your knowledge to the end
that a proper corrective may be applied.

In the three great states of the union it will be
seen that the last ten years have completely re
versed their rel live standing. Virginia which
was the first settled, and always until the last
census continued to be the first state in the uni
on, is now the third. New-York, which thirty
year* since, did not contain half the population
of Virginia, is now the firrt state. Pennsylvania,
which is one of the oldest states, and which con
tinued until 1810 the second in the union, at the
census lost her ancient rank, New-York out-nmu
bering her by an hundred and fifty thousand, and
taking her place. But the last ten years have
’ restored her to her ancient standing, she having
during that period outranked Virginia. New-
York, which thirty years since was the fifth state
in the union, is now the first, and in less than
twenty years hence, Virginia which has hereto
fore been the first state, will be as low or lower
than the fifth. These three states contain
3,445,000 inhabitants, considerably more than
1 the whole population of the United States during
the revolution. [Sa/em Register.
