Below is the OCR text representation for this newspapers page.

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 ies for the erection of anew Collegiate Edifice at 1 Athens, passed the House of Representatives on Tuesday last—on the following day a motion to reconsider the minutes as respected the passage of this bill was rejected—Yeas 48—Nays 49. The bill to repeal the act restricting the intraduc- i tion of sieves into this state has passed the House. ! A resolution contemplating the sale of the frac tional surveys in Dooly, Houston, Monrop, Hen ry and Fayette, was rejected on Wednesday last—yeas 35—nays 55—Yesterday the House of Representatives had under consideration a bill to incorporate a Company for establishing a Turn pike stood from Athens to Augusta. One of the most important measures now before the Legislature is a bdl introduced in Senate to regulate the rate of interest between our State Banks and the Branch Bauk of the U. States at Savannah. South. Rec. General Intelligence. Late from F.ngland. —English papers to the 23d Oct. have been received in New York. They communicate no political news of importance. The state of publick feeling in Spain has be come more tranquil ; and nothing at present indi cates a counter-revolution The king of England entered the capital of his Hanoverian dominions on the 9th Oct. and was received by an immense multitude of people in the most flattering manner. The sales of Cotton in Liverpool for the week ending 6n the 22d October, amounted to 6000 bales. Uplands 8 3-4 alO 3-4d. 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. Milan, Sept. 5. 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. Bell's Weekly Messenger, London. Mail Contractors. —The following is a letter from the Post-Master-General, to the Post-Master in this city : General Post-Office , Nov. 2 lit, 1821. TnostAs W. Bacot, Esa. Post-Master, Charleston, S. C. Dear Sir— We have yours of the sth and 6th inst. Every Mail Contractor is bound by con tract, to carry the Mail either in a Stage body, or well and securely covered with an Oil cloth or a Bear skin, so that no injury can be done to the mail by rain or snow, under a heavy penalty. 1 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. YS'ith great esteem, R. G. MEIGS, P. S. —Please to apprise the Contractors who visit your office of my determination. Another Pirate captured. —The U. S. schooner Porpoise, Lieut. Ramage, has captured a piratical vessel ofl'St. Thomas. The engagement lasted two hours, and the Porpoise lost two men—no other particulars known.

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. From the Doyleslown Correspondent. American Genius and Enterprise rewarded. — Our fellow citizen George Clymer, the inventor of the improved PRINTING-PRESS, has been : more successful in introducing the Columbian Printing Press into the “ Old World,” than his most sanguine hopes had led him to expect. He had put into operation in England, in August last 86 presses; some in France, Russia, South Amer ica, and 4in Ada ; and the demand increases, as the knowledge of their superiority becomes extended. British compliment to American Literature.! From the London Monthly Magazine for Sep tember. “ The flourishing condition of American Liter ature is proved by the superiority of its periodical journals. The North American Review, publish in Boston, quarterly—The Philadelphia Journal of Medical and Physical sciences, edited by Dr. Chapman, published quarterly—The American i Journal of Science, edited hy Prof. Sillimaii quar terly— The Archaeologia Americaue to be contin ued annually—are inferiour to no works in Eu rope, for good taste, intelligence and style.” Dr. Thomas Cooper, was elected President j of the South Carolina College on the Ist. instant.
