the Board may be deceived; through the
inattention, or the self-interest of their
agents—and then, they will thankfully
receive information from any authentick
source, enabling them to justify their con
duct to the publick, in the witbdrawment
of patronage from those to whom it may
have been pledged. The Board cannot be
Jess anxious than any other portion of com
munity,,to appropriate the funds of the In
stitution, in the most unexceptionable and
advantageous manner. But they cannot be
governed in their appropriations by the
opinions of unknown and irresponsible indi
viduals, iff opposition to the written testimo
ny of agents known to the publick as well
as to themselves.
It is an easy thing to say that a Benefici
ary of the American Education Society has
not talents. The assertion may mean some
thing, or nothing. If, by talents are meant
extraordinary endowments —probably there
are inaoy beneficiaries without talents ; it
is but here and there an individual has any
thing about him very distinguished—and
such an individual when found, does not
always prove the most useful man in his
generation. But every young man whose
original powers are good, or uot deficient,
and who is disposed 10 apply those powers
with diligence, hiis in truth, u promising
talents” —he bids fair for usefulness, and
deserves encouragement. Where palpable
defects exist in the structure of the mind—
or where there is no disposition to press
through difficulties for the sake of improve
ment, encouragement ought to be with
held.
General assertions, and vague rumours,
it must be evident to every one, do not
form the proper ground lor deciding on
the competency of a young man who ap
plies for assistance, although they nmy rea
sonably prompt to more thorough inquiry
into his character. The judgment of'dlifer
ent men with regard to this point, is liable
to bn influenced by a thousand prejudices,
even when all have the same capacity for
judging; and it will not probably be doubt
ed that there are those in every communi
ty, whose judgment is not the more to be
relied upon, for the readiness with which
it is given. It is not every man who con
siders himself competent to judge of the
talents of others, that has in fact any other
standard of judgment, than some unaccoun
table-fancy; of course, it is not the opinion
of every man that deserves confidence. j
The publick has a right to expect that ils ;
charities will not be lavished on those who
will either abuse them, or make no good
use of them. This is the condition on
which those charities are entrusted to a re
sponsible Board. It is doubtless the privi
lege of any individual who has an interest
in them, lo observe the manner of their ap
propriation, and to make inquiries, or to
withhold further contributions, if the con
ditions of those previously made are not ful
filled- But itU3 also the duty of every in
dividual to inform the Board of their inad
vertent mistakes—to point out the incom
petent individuals who are receiving their
assistance, and to accompany such informa
tion with documents that may form a prop
er basis of proceeding in rectify ing-the mis
take. We venture to say that such infor
mation will ever be received with gratitude,
and acted upon with firmness and decision.
But we feel bound to add, by way of cau
tion against hasty conclusions on the merits
or demerits of beneficiaries, that those
young men who have made the least favour
able impression on superficial observers
have very often proved to he the most use
full and deserving men, not only in the min-
Wry but in other learned professions.
The best talertts —the most equally balanc
ed and powerful minds are not unfrequent
ly iu youth concealed beneath a veil of
hashfulncss and awkwardness, which is no
sooner removed by education, than a gen
ius of bhc first order discovers itself. It is
not every eye that penetrates this unseem
ly covering, nor unhappily, every hand
that is lifted to remove it. It ought to be
remembered also, that many whose youth
has been full of promise, have disappointed
the expectation of their friends in riper
years, and that a precocious maturity is
commonly followed by an early blast of
go:ne kind, on its promised usefulness.
Perhaps it may be thought a sufficient
security against the alleged waste of char
ity on the worthless, to leave the whole
business of educating pious young men for
the ministry with individual churches or
with town or parish associations. We be
liv'fc that this would be a remedy for the
evil complained of—but a remedy that
.would destroy the whole system of charita
ble'education. Leaving this result out of
the question however, we would inquire
whether small associations, if they could be
formed, would not find insuperable difficul
ties in selecting their beneficiary—in decid
ing on the competency of his talents, and
the prospects of bis usefulness. Who can
tell how riiany minds in such an association
might be prejudiced by a blemish on the
face—a trivial deformity of person—or ev
en by symptoms of modesty, so as to refuse
their support to a youth chargeable with
defects so clearly indicative of deficient tal
ents! and who can calculate the influence
of local prejudices—of personal piques—of
hereditary alieuatious, or the decisions of
such associations on the talents of a candid
ate for (heir assistance ! We have certain
ly no objection to small and local indepen
dent education societies; if they can ac
complish more “in their own way,” than
through the medium of a large organized
society,’we wish them Godspeed. Audit
were to he wished that every church in the
land were anEducation Society—but it is be
lieved that if they were all converted into
such societies today, they would find it in
dispensably necessary to the success of their
objects to associate together—establish a
Board of Direction, a general Treasury, j
&c., even il there were no other difficulty |
in their way, than that of the selection of I
beneficiaries. There are cases where this
difficulty is not fe.lt, but they are few—and
we repeat the idea with entire confidence
in its truth, —that if the business of raising
up men for the ministry were left entirely
in the hands of small and local associations,
it would never be accomplished—the eye
of Christian pity must continue to “weep
over the waste places of Zion, without de
riving a gleam of hope from the dormant
energies of the church.

STATE LEGISLATURE.
The General Assembly of this. State adjourned
on the 22d inst. A list of the most important acts
passed will be given next week. “ Measures
were adopted (says the Journal) to procure a fur
ther extinguishment of Indian claims within the
limits of this state.” Resolutions concurring with
those of Maryland in relation to the appropriation
of publick lands in the new states for the purpos
es of education, were adopted by both houses.—
The application made by the Corporation of Wash
ington for leave to dispose of Lottery Tickets in
the State of Georgia, was refused.
CONGRESS.
The attention of this body has as yet been prin
cipally engrossed by the appointment of the ne-!
eessary committees, and in hearing petitions,
which are said to be very numerous, 45 having
been presented in one day. A resolution is be
fore the House of Representatives, calling on the
Secretary of State for any papers in his office re
lating to the differences beween General Jackson
and Judge Fromeutin, and also for such as may
relate to the refusal of Col.. Callava to deliver to
the American authorities at Pensacola, the pub-1
lick archives in his possession, and the means’
adopted by the latter to obtain the same. The i
following important amendment to the Constitu- *
tion of the United States was introduced in Sen
ate by Mr. Johnson of Kentucky, and made the
order of the day for the 2d Monday in January
next:
Resolved , by the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United Slates of America in Con
press assembled. That the following amendment
to the Constitution of the United States, be pro
posed to the legislatures of the several states,
which when ratified by the legislatures of three
fourths of the states, shall be valid to all intents
and purposes, as part of the said Constitution.
“ That in all controversies where the judicial
power of the United States shall be so construed,
as to extend to any case in law o. equity, arising
under this constitution, the laws of the United
; States, or treaties made or which shall be made
under their authority', aud to which a state shall
he a party ; and in all controversies in which a
i state may desire to become a party, in conse
quence of having the constitution or laws of such
state questioned, the Senate of the United States
. shall have appellate jurisdiction.”
I The resolutions of the Maryland Legislature on
the subject of the publick lands have been unan
imously adopted by the Assembly of Virginia.—
The New York papers say that the sentiment in
that state (the only one which has disagreed to
: them) seems to be general in favour of re-consid
’ ering the proceedings of the Legislature, aud
. little doubt was entertained that the decision
would be reversed at the approaching sessinu.
ISo clear is the expression of publick opinion
; in the old states of the confederacy, that little
! apprehension can be entertained as to the course
j which Congress will adopt in relation to this irn
! portant subject.
The Legislature of S.Carolina adjourned on the

Augusta, Dec. 26.
On Saturday evening last, the water in Savan
nah river began to rise with more than ordinary
rapidity, and by Sunday evening the river
was higher, we believe, than it lias been for ten
years past,—perhaps higher than it has been but
once since the memorable fresh, known by the
name of “ the Yazoo Fresh,” when the town v, as
overflowed, and boats sailed through Broad-street.
In the present fresh, the water was over the floor
and almost running into the windows of the steam
boat oftice ; the low lands on both sides the river
were completely covered, and it became necessa
ry to have a ferry for foot persons passing from the
upper to the lower part of the town of Hamburg,
and to the foot of the bridge on the South-Caroli- \
naside.—A carriage with four persons in it, at- \
tempting to drive across the gully, above Augusta,
was soon in swimming water, and being unable to
get on, one of the horses was drowned,—three of
the persQns in the carriage were obliged to make
their escape by plunging into the water and swim
ming to shore ; the other, who could not swim,
got upon the top of the carriage, and remained
there in water, till he was taken off—the water!
being completely over the carriage one horse, in
his exertions, broke out of the harness, and was
saved. The carriage remains in the water still.
We have not heard as yet of much damage done
by the fresh. —— Geo. Jldr.
We are informed that the Legislature of S. Car
olina have granted a loan to Sir. Shultz of fifty
thousand dollars, for five years, at six per cent.
. interest, to enable him to continue his improve
ments in Hamburg; by which it is supposed
that state will be much benefited.
We are also told that a company is about to he ,
formed for the purpose of runhiug a line of Steam-1
Boats from Hamburg to Charleston. How far
such a line, should it be established, to run on 1
Savannah river would comport with the exclusive
rights of (he present Steam-Boat Company, may j
probibly be a matter of legal inquiry hereafter. I
The gentlemen of the bar, we presume, will throw I
\ no obitacles in the way of an investigation on J
I this subject. It is said too, that two applications I
have been made to the legislature of South Car
i olina for an exclusive right ofgunning Stages for a
limited time from Hamburg- the one to Charles
ton, the other to Savannah o i the Carolina aide.

Political Phenomena. —Tin Congress of the

American Bible Society .At. affords us much l
pleasure to announce, that at a meeting of the

on Thursday, the Hon. John Jay wasunanimous
ly.elected President of that Institution in the place
of the Hon. Ellias lloudinot, deceased. A more
judicious selection to that elevated station could
not have been made. Mr. Jay’s long aud useful
life has been characterized by the most exempla
ry piety, and he has repeatedly received at the
hands of his country, the highest marks of confi
dence, and been hououred by occupying some of
the most elevated situations. But he has been
called to fill no station more exalted than the
present. The office of a foreign Ambassador,
Governour of the State of New York, or Chief
Justice of the United States, [ofljees once held by
Mr. Jay] may possess greater claims with the as
piring politician ; but that of President of the
American Bible Soceety, though divested of
political pomp and circumstance, is not less hon
i ourable than either. [Com. Adv.

Curious Fact.— The Steam boat Chancellor
Livingston has the last season made about 170
trips from New York to Albany. Allowing the
distance to be 150 miles, the aggregate will ex

carried her round the globe. We presume the
Richard has performed the same number of trips,
and when it is considered, that these boats are
generally filled with passengers, some idea may
be formed of the extent of travel on the North

FOREIGN.
The latest datesfrona England (Nov. 3) repre
sent the course of policy which will be eventually
pursued by Russia with regard to the Greek in
surrection, as yet extremely doubtful. A Russian
army still remains on the frontiers, & the negotia
tions which continue between the great powers in
relation to this business are inveloped in inexpli
cable mystery. The British ambassador in Tur
key is said to have remonstrated against the con
duct of Russia in a manner which is not very well
relished by the Emperoiir ; and to this circum
stance is attributed the very cavalier style in
which the Turkish Sultan has lately ventured to
speak of his Russian neighbours ; a specimen of
which will be seen in an article below. The con
test between the Turks and Morean Greeks is
carried on with unrelenting ferocity ; and the lat
ter have possessed themselves of several conside
rable towns, in one of which they found 60 pieces
of brass cannon, and an immense quantity of mil
itary stores. Notwithstanding the amDesty pro
claimed by the Turkish sovereign, the most horrid
massacres are still practised upon the unresisting
Greeks at Constantinople, aud it would seem
that nothing less than their total extermination
can satisfy the vengeance of their infuriated ty
rants. A government whichsanctions or tolerates
such abominable outrages ought not to exist ; and 1
if they can be terminated only by the interference
of a foreign force, every friend of humanity will j
rejoice to bear, that the Russian emperourhad be- 1
come master of Constantinople, though the whole
of European Turkey were thus added to his co
lossal empire.

A letter from Constantinople, dated the 14th
of Sept, says : f
“ Blood still flows—the massacres continue,hut 1
■ in another manner. Greeks from Moldavia, Wal
lachia, aud the villages round Constantinople,
have been taken from their homes, and daily
brought hither ; they are peaceable men, against
whom no reproach can be made, and in general
labourers. Well, they are accused by the Turks
■of conspiracy, and massacred, as usual, without
‘ceremony. It is horrible to see these victims
dragged by executioners through all the quarters i
< of the city, whose blood stains all the streets, and ‘
gratifies the eyes of our ferocious enemies. Such
is the amnesty which his Sublimity grants to the ,
unfortunate Greeks—such the fruit of his oaths,
! end the manner in which he causes his orders of l
: peace and indulgence to be executed. His Sub
limity has just published anew Firman, which
1 seems tous to be the signal for war, and the end
iof all the hesitations of the Porte. The following
| is the concluding sentence :
“ Since the Russians, that faithless nation, do !
not attack us openly, but by indirect means, de
manding either the independence of the Rajahs,
1 or other things which the interests of my sublime
empire do not permit me to accept; I recommend
to you, brave and faithful Mussulmen, to be day
and night on your gua r d and arms, that our per
fidious enemy may not surprize us ; declaring to
I you that this independence of the Rajahs, and
these demands that are made, are so contrary to
the Ottoman power, and to the interest of the
Sublime Porte, that rather than accede to them,
we do not fear to support a war, however long
and sanguinary it may be.”
A London peper says:—“ It is confidently sta
ted in the Ministerial circles, that Ministers are
now perfectly satisfied of their having been de
ceived by Russia with respect to Turkey, and
that there is net the least reason for any longer
doubting the hostile intentions of that power.

IVRIGHTSBORO ’ FEMALE ACADEMY.
In a communi’y where the benefits of early ed
ucation is generally admitted, and the diffusion of
useful and polite literature is considered of prima
ry importance, to inoral and political happiness ;
it would be superfluous to particularize its various
advantages: Nor will any who duly appreciates
the mild, but strongly felt influew&e, which the
female character exercises over society, deem it
of small consequence to enlighten their minds,
polish their manners, refine their taste, and im
prove the native susceptibility of their intellect.
The excellencies emanating from female minds
properly embellished, obtain a command over
the virtuous more lasting than beauty, and more
attractive than fortune. The progress of every
community in refinement is not less promoted by
the example of virtuous and accomplished wo
men,than by the.lessons of moralists, or the enact
ments of legislators.
It is, therefore, with great pleasure we find iu
this female seminary, useful and refined educat ion
Iso happily blended, —and after a strict attention
| to two days examination, can express an opinion
jso decidedly favourable to the performance of
i the students.
As Ihere was so little deficiency in any of the
classes, it would be difficult and invidious to make
individual distinction. We can confidently say ,
i we have never witnessed any examination so ex
(tensive and multifarious, in which there was so
i lit*le errour and so much precision and excel
i lonce. But while we give the students applause
j due to no ordinary merit, we think their unusual
progress is, in a great degree, the effect of the fa
cilities afforded them by Miss Andrew, in the
! judicious management of her school, her very as
siduous after tion to her pupils, and superiour ca
pacity to instruct.

of this amiable and excellent man,universally be
loved, and eminently distinguished as a Christian
philanthropist. Newspaper encomiums are not
unfrequently pronounced on the most undeserv
ing ; whilst the man who has adorned society,
and whose heart and whose hand were ever ready
to extend compassion to the wretched and distress
ed, is sometimes permitted to descend in silence
to the grave, unnoticed by one solitary tribute
of praise. But Capt. Whitehead needs not our
imperfect eulogiums. His name shall live forev
er ; “ It is deeply engraven on the hearts of ma
ny who were the objects ofhis benevolence.” It
is impressed in broad and legible characters on
the records of almost every benevolent association
in our country—and above all, it is enrolled iu
the book of life, and their it shall remain through
out eternity. Captain Whitehead had perhaps
as good ground as any other man to confide his
hopes of salvation in his benevolent efforts—But
no ! His inind was too well instructed in the
| knowledge of God and divine things, to suppose
for a moment that the thousands he had bestowed !
in charity would avail for the pardon of one single |
offence. His hope rose higher; it was founded
on the roek of ages—on Jesus Christ the only
Saviour of sinners. The death of this excellent j
man hasoccasioned a chasm in the circle in which ,
he moved, which will not easily be filled up. ;
