done as citizens of the world and heirs of immortality? Have we performed every duty that devolves o us from the* ery na ture of oar existence, from the circtyn stances in which we were placed, and from that law of supreme love to God and su bordinate love to man which the Scriptures inculcate. Alas! we cannot, we dare not plead guiltless. The testimony against us is too strongly confirmed to admit the least excuse or palliation. Is it not then the dic tate of wisdom to resolve, trusting to an Al mighty Director, to pursue for the year on which we have entered, a course more ac ceptable to Him who is our Ruler and our Judge ? Does it not become us to lay aside all malice, and envies, and guile, and evil speakings, knowing that their consequences are such as will deprive us of the approba* } tion of our own consciences and exclude us from the kingdom of Heaven ? Andi 9 it not our duty to come to Christ as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God and precious, and be built up on him a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ ? Afflictions may be onr lot, but let us not invoke the curse of Almighty God by intem ; prance and profanity. Calamities may t, v l us, but let them be the merciful chas ’ tiseh pts of our Father in Heaven and not the mult of deliberate transgression. Ob jects of misery and compassion may pre sent themselves; but let us do more than say, “Be ye fed, and be ye clothed.” Tri als of no ordinary nature may await us, but let us be prepared to endure them with Christian resignation. The envenomed tongue of slander may rob us of our chai acter, but our consciences clear, we can ap peal to the Searcher of hearts. The scythe of death may mow us down, but how sweet will be our rest, if we fall in the dis charge of our duty, with hearts prepared for the event. And should our probation be prolonged another year, let us discharge the duties assigned us with fidelity and zeal, expecting for our reward that rich and precious consolation of keeping a con science void of offence towards God and towards man.

We have been infi>rmed on good authority, that a robbery of a novel character, was committed not long since in the county of Emanuel. A certain physician, whose name we do not recollect, and who is infirm and old, had been attending on the daughter of a Mr. and Mrs. Gregory. After the recovery of the patient, her father paid the Doc tor for his professional services, the sum of forty five dollars, which, with other collections which he had made, about the same time, amounted to seventy or eighty dollars. While on his way home, and passing by a swamp, this infirm and aged son ofEscnlapius was accosted by a foe clad in no ordinary terrors. It was no less than Mrs. Gregory, the mother of his late patient, as the Doctor has since declared un der the solemnity of an oath before a civil tribunal, habited in the attire of a warriour, her face well blacked, a musket upon her shoulder, and two or three pieces of pipe stems thurst in her mouth. She advanced with the intrepidity of Joan of Arc, prized his bridle rein with one hand, and with the other laid hold of the pocket which contained the money, and never relaxed her grasp till she tore away the pocket and secured its contents. .Mrs. G. is now in Emanuel jail waiting the return of the Superiour Court for her trial. \ ■disgraceful transaction took place in an attempt to bail her out a short time after her apprehension. The Justices of the Inferiour Court refused to accept of the securities which were offered for her appearance at court, when Gregory and an unprincipled hand attached to his interest, seized cne of the judges as he was about to return home, dragged him from his horse, dislocated his hip and left him half dead upon the ground. This gentleman was, a few days since, confined to his % ed at the court house, and incapable of returning (to his family. Congress. —No business 6f general importance has as yet been definitively acted upon in Con gress. Much important work, it is said, has been cut out, but it was apprehended that a considera ble portion of it would be left unfinished. Thomas W. Cobh, Esq. of Oglethorpe, Gen. Thomas Glascock of Richmond, Dr. Charles E. ; Haynes, of Hancock, J.R. Golding,Esq. of Clark, and Col. Thomas Murray, of Lincoln, are announ ced as candidates to represent this state in the next Congress. Sentence of Death was pronounced by Judge Johnson at the late sitting of the U. S. Circuit Court at Savannah upon eight of the crew of the smack Hiram, convicted of piracy. The execu tion is ordered to take place on the first Wednes day in April next. Hours of Sale.— By a lata act of the General Assembly of this State, it is declared, that the hours of Sheriffs and Constables sales shall be from 10 o'clock in the forenoon, till four o’clock in the afternoon. Manufacture and Sale of ardent Spirits. FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW. Nothing is more common than the use of wbot was originally poetick language in specking on tbis subject. People talk of swallowing distilled poison and maddening draughts ; but these ex pressions have ceased to be figurative. Though we are fully aware of the mischief— thow£ we have seen it demonstrated to be almost cause of all the sufferings, the poverty and the crime to be found in this country, we still proceed without any attempt to arrest it. VVe convert the exuberance of our harvests, which the bounty of Providence has bestowed, into seductive pois on, where “ the ingredient is a devil.” There is not only no restraint on the production of the ar ticle, but every facility is afforded for its distribu tion. Men who are too lazy to work, are allowed nearly without a check, to entice others to lose their senses, their property and their honesty, in these infernal draughts 1 Formerly,a dram could only be obtained at tav erns ; but now every store in the country is turn ed into a dram-shop ; while in the cities, they spring up in every street and at every corner. No farmer can go to purchase necessaries for his family, without being exposed to the temptation ; uo labourer can get to his home without passing a score of these tippling houses, but for which he would have gone home sober to his family. If he passes them at first, they are sure to decoy him at last. Fatigued, thirsty, and seeing them surrounded by his companions, lie may go by a few times—but he begins to enter by degrees; the practice soon becomes a habit, and he finally consumes his earnings and his strength within their pestilent attraction. Yet with all this ac knowledged, this immense, and we fear increas ing mischief, when a moderate tax would be some check upon it; a tax that would supply all the deficiencies of the treasury, and be levied upon the most noxious of all luxuries, we find the legis lators of this nation shrink from imposing it, for fear of popularity ! Surely they ought to look with some pity on the wretch who has been drawn into the commission of crime through intoxication, and the cheapness and facilities, for which they have declined to lessen.” FOREIGN. The ship South Boston, arrived at Charleston, brings English dates to the 15th November. No political news of importance is communicated.— The same impervious cloud which has so long obscured the designs of the Continental powers in their negotiations upon the subject of the Greek insurrection, still hangs over them, and the vari ous reports which are given in the French and English papers are so contradictory, that no opin ion can be formed of the real situation of affairs on the theatre of war, or of the intentions of those states whose interference in the broil was so confidently expected a few months since. The King of France, in a speech at the opening of the chamber of deputies, thus alludes to the condition of Turkey : “ Great calamities afflict the East. Let us hope that they approach their and that the prudence and cordiality of all the powers will find the means of satisfying what re ligion, policy,and humanity may justly demand.’i The internal condition of France is represented as being in the highest degree prosperous. Accounts from Constantinople state that Persia had declared war against Turkey,and had put an army 0i'60,000 men inmotion towards the province of Bagdad. The King of England arrived in London from the continent on the Bth Nov. Disturbances of an alarming nature continue in Ireland, and the military have not been able ef fectually to restore order. Troops had been sent over from England. P ePolulion in Brazils. —A passenger was put on board the steam boat Virginia on her passage from Norfolk here, from the brig Revolution, in 36 days from Pernambuco, which sailed the 10th of Nov. He states, there had been a complete Revolution throughout the Brazils. The Govern our and staff had been shipped off from Pernam buco, and the Prince Royal had been sent from Rio Janeiro. The same state of things existed at St. Salvador and Monte Video—-there was some resistance made at Pernambuco by the royal troops, but after about 100 being killed, were compelled to surrender. All the ports were thrown open. Flour dull at 6 mill reas. I’rovis. ional governments were established, and every thing had become tranquil. It is also said that the Patriot General Artigas, was a prisoner at Buenos Ayres, and that that unsettled place had had three different Govern ours within a month previous to last accounts from there. Balt. Amer. Murder. —A murder was committed on Mon day morning the 24th ult. on the body of John Parkes, Esq. near Wrightsboro’, Columbia Coun ty, by a negro fellow of his own.—As far as the particulars have heen elicited, Mr. Parkes at tempted to chastise the fellow for some miscon duct, particularly it is believed for having, as In supposed. cut the axle of a carry lo,; the negro ran back until he had drawn Mr. P. near the branch, then seizing the stick with which he was chastis ing him, struck him, and having succeeded in disabling him, retired, got a light wood knot and fractured his scull and then'threw him into the branch ; where the body lay until the second day when it was discovered by information communi cated by other negroes to whom the murderer had confessed. Before the body was found the mur derer had made his escape and had not been taken as late as Monday last. Mr. Parker was a bachelor of about 35 years of age and a very worthy and resp ctable memher of society. It is hoped that the Governour will offer a re ward for his apprehension, and that for this pur pose his friends in the vicinity will furnish such early and official information as may authorize him to do so. The negro’s name is Aaron, he is quite young and scarcely grown, (say 19 or 20 years of age,) about 5 feet 10 inches high, and rather stoutly made. Chronicle. The Hon. Judge Drayton, of the U. 9. Circuit Court, Charleston, has decreed to the captain and crew of the U. S. brig Enterprize one half of the net proceeds of the piratical vessels captured near Cuba, and one fourth of the net proceeds of \he cargo of the Aristides, re-captured at the same time. [Sa. Georgian. A pod of Manilla cotton with the seed has been sent to Mr. Skinner the editor of the American Farmer. It is described as possessing a softness to the touch resembling silk—hut of short staple. The pod divides into two pieces, and is in other respects very much like silk weed, or wild cotton. [Sat 1 . Republican Good Prize— A gentleman purchased at the marshal’s sale of the cargo of the piratical vessels carried into Charleston by the Enterprise, several pieces of cotton bagging—on opening one of them he discovered several dollars worth of spe cie in Spanish and English coin. t Raleigh, December 23. Arrival of the statue of Washington, VVe have great pleasure in announcing the ariival in our city, on Monday last, of.the Statue of Gener al George Washington, sculptured hy the celebra ted artist Canova, of Rome, and intended for our Capitol. The reception of this great and splen did work at its place of destination, was attended with the most general and lively display of fee - ing ; and the interest of the occasion was much | heightened by the circumstance of the Legisla- I ture of the state being in session. Colombia, S. C. Jan. 1. ! On Friday morning last, au inquest was held by ! Wm. Branthwaite, Esq. Coroner of Richland dis trict, on the body of James Kenny, a labouring man of this town. It appeared in evidence, that on the preceding night, a dispute took place be tween the deceased and a woman of colour, by the name of Tempe, which ended in a scuffle be- j tween them, in which the deceased received a! stab in the throat, of which he died in the course of 15 or 20 minutes. [Gazette. Early Repentance.— “ Whereas” says an ad vertiser in the Harrisburg Intelligencer, “ certain circurastaices having rendered it impossible that my wife Elizabeth £whom I married yesterday ) and I should live any longer together, 1 have therefore, &c.” Brevity —An English journal states that the length of the indictment in the case of Goldstien, tried at the old Bailey for forgery on the King of Prussia, was exactly forty-seven yards. After this let no American complain of the length of any speech in Congress, or of publick documents. [Phil. Union. The committee of valuation have assessed the town of Boston, on taxable property, at the large amount of 92,600,000. The return made did not much exceed 20,000,000. Republican. By the report of the Treasurer of the State of Alabama, it appears that the amount on hand at the commeuceav fc nt of the past year, and the re ceipts during the year were $49,865,34 1-2, and the disbursements during the same period, 44,161,49, leaving a balance in the Treasury on the 15th Nov. of 4,203 87 1-2. Ib. PLAY UPON NAMES. From the Fayetteville N. C. Gazette. A pun upon Members’ Names. —Although the milleninm is not yet arrived, yet there are hud dled in one house, in Raleigh, Haicks, Rails, Campbells , and a Lamb, and perhaps there may he A*se9, as there has been heard a Bray. Though they have a Ruffin, and an Outlaw, aud one that is Wilder, they are not without Gentry , ami one that is Wtllborn —there is a House, with in the house ; and though they have Smiths, a Fisher, a Miller, a Webster, and a Mercer, and exhibit all the varieties of Black , White and Green, which give high expectations of their do ings to all that ,can Seaicell, yet there is no Lillie manufactured, but nothing exported or sold. If every Person , and Boddie of them were Wade in the Scales, many would want Morthead to save them from oblivious Graves. Although they have Love, nay even Hyman himself, and Bishops Watson and Whitfield at hand, no nuptials have yet been consummated—Some of them like the writer of this try to be Sharp Skinners, yet they only prove themselves Blont Hookers. They have Beards and no barbers, Flowers without a Gardener, a Bell without noise, a Hill that is level ; a Lemon that is not acid ; a Walker that is seldom on foot ; a Hastings that is always slow, a Pool near Jordan , without water, and a Flint without a steel—ln short, many projects are be ginning to Hatch,the secrets of which it is supposed will ere long l eak out; and yet of all these Par ticulars, there is only one that is Strange. Education. —The Congress of Columbo, has established by several decrees, a System of Edu cation in the New Republick, by the establish ment and endowment of Primary and Secondary schools and Colleges, similar in most respects to that so earlj’ adopted, so long continued, and found so highly beneficial to New England. Bonapartean Manuscripts. —A Paris paper says —“ A report is in circulation in London that the English government has secured to itself the in spection of all the manuscripts left by Bonaparte, without any regard to the persons in whose hands they might have been deposited. It is said even that Sir H. Lowe, Gov. of St. Helena, has taken possession, temporarily, of all the papers of Napo leon, and has brought them with him to England.” I.- tm. Cotton Crops. —The Huntsville, Alabama Re publican, speaking of the cotton crops in the big bend of Tennessee, says,— ■“ the planters gene rally, are actuated by u most laudable spirit of improving the quality find appearance of their cotton. Each is emulous to excel his neighbour not in quantity but in quality, of his crops, he rewards his bauds according to the neatness and cleanliness of their day’s work ; many of them have introduced the practice of carefully sunning and Jiyiiig the cotton on scaffolds before it is car ried into the gin houses, and great improvements have been made in the construction of gins to avoid cutting the staple. From the best informa- j tion we have on this subject, we believe the pre- ! sent crop will be greatly superiour, both in the cleanliness of the cotton and the neatness of the bales, to any heretofore shipped from this valley During the present session of the legislature in this place, a Creek Indian cauie to town with mockasins for sale. Meeting with Mr.——, near the State House, he inquired if he wanted to buy mockasins. Mr. , replied, no, but; told him if he would go to that house, pointing to 1 the State- House, and walk up stairs, (opening to . the hall occupied by the Representatives,) he , would see a man sitting on a high bench, at the back of the house, who wanted some. Estechat te accordingly entered, and mounted the stairs, thinking to find a ready sale for the fruit of his la bour, and already swallowed, in imagination, the delicious draught of intoxicating nectar, which the disposal of his merchandize would enable him ‘ to purchase ; but just as he had ascended the steps, a question was taken, and the ayes and noes called for; the ayes were few and weak, so I as not to be noticed by our red neighbour; but upon calling for the noes, a general exclamation ‘ of No ! resounded through the hall; —which the | Indian took as directed to himself, in anticipation of his inquiry ; whereupon he turned shout and I hurried down stairs, exclaiming, “no too much, 1 no too much”—quite disappointed iu his market. [Cahauiba Press. I In Tennessee an act has been passed to enable I persons to prosecute for thdir just debts. This | act provides that upon the application of any poor person, who shall make oath that he or she is not able to prosecute a suit to (he end of ob taining their rights, it shall be the duty of the clerk to issue a writ or other process without ; charging for the same, or taking Ccuiity ; and the court is directed to assigD counfeel, able and learned in the law, to prosecute sue i suit without; fee or reward. m. Speaking of th.e latest news rom Spanish America, via the United Stales,, the London Courier at length frankly acknowledges that u Spain must soon relinquish the feeble grasp by which she yet retains her American possessions.” <> _ Scarcely a night passes, either in New York or Philadelphia, but some atrocious act of assault or robbery is committed. The pension which the emper.our of Russia settled upon Madame Moreau, the widow of the General, will, it is said, now that she is dead, continue to her daughter. 1 Robert Gray, of Philadelphia, has been senten ! ced to 10 years imprisonment in the Penitentiary • for stealing books from the store of E. J. Coale. i The reasons assigned for the severity of this pun ; ishment are,that books may be stolen from a book store with greater facility than almost any other article, and the almost impossibility of identifying them, or to prove that they had not been previ ously sold. The prisoner, a man of intelligence and respectable appearance had likewise abused i the confidence repqsed in him, having been per ! initfed to visit the shelves of the bookstore. He plead guilty. We understand that the number of students at the -Vtaiical School in Philadelphia, this season is about 400, being more than there have been for several years past. [Franklin Gas. Brooklyn, Con. Dec. 3. Singularity —There is now living in Killingly, a man by the name of Moffett, who ha 9 had three wives, who are all alive, and whose present wife has three husbands, who are all living, and what is still more remarkable, the second wife of the husband is married to the second husband of the wife, making a mutual exchange ; and, to crown all, Moffet’s daughter is married to his present wife’s son ! A difficult question of genealogy for our learned judges to settle, if a large estate should descend to the heirs hereafter, as well as a practical comment upon our divorce laws, which adapt, with such facility, the whimsical caprice of man to the standard of legality ! We believe however, that there was a Scriptural reason for granting each of the bills of divorces, but of this we are not positive. [Observer.

THOMAS LITTLE. January 5, 1822. THOMAS LITTLE having in this paper in serted an advertisement, “ forewarning all persons from trading for a note” given by said Little to the subscriber, and whereas many may I suppose that the note was fraudulently obtained, ’ this is to inform the pnblick, that said note was ! given, after a negotiation of several days, for the ! rent of the House and Plantation where the sub i scriber lately lived, upon terms voluntarily offer ed by said Little. Said Little has since hired , another plantation for a less rent, and refuses to abide by his first contract.
