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. [To be continued.] f General Intelligence. 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 j 20th inst. after passing 27 acts—one of which I makes the delibeVate and wilful murder of any slave iu said state punishable with death.

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. I So that Hamburg though yet a its infancy seems to have acquired astation of ommanding impor tance amongst commercial pi ces.— Geo. Adv. j Political Phenomena. —Tin Congress of the United States, the supreme piwer oftbe land, is uow iu session, and the Leiislatures of twelve states, are either now in section, or have been within a few days, viz : Vernjrot, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Car-1 olina, South Carolina, Georgk, Alabama, Ten nessee, Kentucky, and Missouri. Thus we have the supreme central government in motion, and a great number of others in many respects equal- i ly supreme and independent, like so many plan-! ets revolving around it, and in motion at the same ■ time. Long may these governments'xontinue to move on in harmony, each in its own orbit, and each diffusing its own proper warmth and lleht and health and vigour, to the different parts of the po litical system. .V. Y. Com. Adv. New York, Dec. 8. American Bible Society .At. affords us much l pleasure to announce, that at a meeting of the Board of Managersof the American Bible Society, 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.

Washington, Nov. 30. Remotest Tribes of Indians. —Yesterday and the evening preceding arrived in this city Major B. O’Fallon, United States Agent on the Missouri, accompanied by a Deputation from the Pawnees, Omakars, Kansas, Ottoes and Missouri*.—Their object is to visit their Great.

They are from the most remote tribes with which we have intercouse, and they are believed to be the firs! of those tribes that have ever been in the midst of our settlements. The Pawnees are said to be the most warlike tribe we have any knowl edge of-not so numerous as some others, but more formidable, because united and accustomed to war.

Partridge, thatl the reporl of his life having been attempted by] one of his students, “ is without even a shadow of foundation in truth—that nothing has occurred among the members of the Institution, since its establishment, which could afford the least colour for such a report.” From what source, or motive, the report originated, we are at a loss to con jecture. Windsor Journal. Longevity in Georgia. —Mrs. Phoebe Johnson, aged one hundred and nine years, is still living in Columbia county. She came with her husband to this country in 1732, and was the first white female that landed in Georgia Our information is derived from her son-in-law ; and he mention ed to us, that the old lady intends removing with him and his family to Alabama, in the course of a few weeks. [Augusta Chron. 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 ceed 25,000 miles, which would more than have 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 river. [N. Y. Statesman. 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 general quietness appears to pervade the other portions of the continent. A dreadful pestilence has nearly depopulated the city of Barcelona, in Spain. One thousand persons are said to have diedinone day. It was expected that the King of England would visit Paris on his return from Hanover.— He had been confiued for several days by an at-. tack of the gout. London , JVbr. 3. i 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. The fashions of short sleeves for the ladies has become universal in Paris. They expose their arms to the tip of their shoulder. The Physicians have exclaimed loudly against it, but Fashion laughs at their warnings. Fashion in every thing bears sovereign sway, ALnd trigs and periwigs have both their day.

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.

The writer of this article Ims been (not a little) surprised to discov er rio mention in the publick papers of the death 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. ; The infant church, of which lie had foryears been j an ornamental member, must deplore Ibe extinc- ! lion of one of her brightest lights—it is indeed j put out, but only to shine with augmented refill- ; gence iu the mansions of bliss.
