MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, NOV. 4, 1822.
It is a maxim too generally received, that it
makes no difference what a man believes, if he is
only honest in his intercourse with the world
He may openly aver himself an idolater or a seep
tick, an infidel or an atheist, as he please, without
infringing in the least upon the rights or privileges
of his neighbour. It seems, indeed, plausible
enough, that a man has a right to his own opinions,
and the privilege of commuuicating them to oth
ers under such restraints as the law shall prescribe.
But it cannot be denied, that this privilege is fre
quently abused. There are injuries for which no
human law can possibly afford a remedy. They
are too subtle to be grasped and embodied and
moulded into shape, and receive an appropriate
name. They afford no tangible points on which
the law can act. Ingratitude, for instance, has
ever been acknowledged a crime, but a crime of
that nature which the law is compelled to leave
unnoticed, while other crimes of less magnitude
receive its severest chastisements.
As we are imitative creatures, opinions will
have their influence, example will have its influ
ence, and this influence, society must feel. If,
therefore, there be any standard of virtue, if
there be a right and wrong, it does most assuredly
make a difference whether the principles of our
neighbour are true or false ; whether his example
be good or bad. The opinions and the example
of a man are not confiued to himself. They are
embodied in those of his neighbour, and flow
down through successive generations. Original
as the track may be which we mark out for our
selves, it is almost precisely the same which oth
ers have trodden before. Few indeed are the
sentiments of ours which others have not main
tained. We gather them from the society with j
which we mingle, and from the books which we
read. Society in particular, is what Chesterfield
says of conversation, a common stock in which
every individual has a share. But he who exerts ’
an influence against the good of that society,
takes more than his share. For every individual
constitutes a part of society, and is affected by
the principles which it maintains, and the exam
ple which it exhibits. Society also is a nursery
in which the virtues may flourish. Corrupt prin
ciples and example render it a nursery of vice.
For the drunkard is rarely seen staggering over
his cups alone—the solitary forest seldom echoes
the language of profanity—nor can any vice be
mentioned, for the growth of which, solitude can ‘
be considered its peculiar soil. But an individu
al, possessing fascinating manners, and corrupt
principles, wins ove>* from the paths of virtue,
those who will reiterate his expressions and ap
plaud his conduct. He is then accessary to their
crimes. He lives, and moves, and acts in them,
and none but the eye of Omniscience can trace
the evil consequences of his conduct. He is the
instigator of crime, and in the worst sense of the
word becomes a partaker of other men’s sins.
If therefore, a single individual can give a tone to
society', it is a matter of the deepest interest that
the tone he such as to render his existence a bles
sing and not a curse.
Besides, it is considered much easier to destroy
than to build, to throw open the floodgates of ini
quity’ than to repair their desolating effects.
When the morals of a community begin to de
cline, its march to destruction is generally char
acterised by an increased velocity. But to re- j
pair a moral waste, is a work, long and tedious!
and toilsome. The observer can occupy stations !
some years apart, and see it progressing, but from
day to day no visible change is effected. But no
change essentially for the better can ever be ex
pected to take place independently of the Gos
pel. Society, it is true, may improve in the arts;
and sciences without this agent, but it has never!
been found to improve in morals. There is a re- !
finement of vice in one society, and a grossness in j
another, but it is vice still. Its nature is not!
changed by the change of the name, nor by all |
the taste, and gilding and frippery that can be j
thrown around it. We are often told of the eor-1
ruption of courts and the dissipation of nobles,!
and how far do they differ from the same vices in
the lower orders of society ? But wherever the
Gospel is preached with fidelity, whether by Paul
before the cruel and licentious Felix, or by Mas
sillon in the chapel of Louis, or by an itinerant
servant of the cross to the ignorant and the poor,
it will produce an effect. It will cause one to
tremble, another to be displeased with himself,
and a third to become wise unto salvation and
obtain durable riches. There is a kindly atmos
phere around a good man, that all must feel that
approach him. In every thing he says or does,
the Spirit of his Master is discovered, and where
the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. We
are therefore interested in the opinions and con
duct of others in a more extensive sense than in
the honesty of his dealings. Others are interested
in our principles and conduct. As accountable
creatures, then, it becomes us to look well to
ourselves, to dread the guilt of being partakers of
other men’s sins, and be careful never to exert an
iiVlnence on society to its injury. But he who is
only careful to do no injury, does not perform the
half of his duty:—To do good should be his con
stant object in all his employments. Then may
generations yet unborn arise and call him blessed,
lie will rest from his labours and his works do
follow him.

‘•'■Corfu •Slug. 11. — We have just received cer
tain news of tlie general deleat of the Turks. It
took place at Thermopylae. It was the greatest
battle which the Greeks have gained siuce their
insurrection. Chonrschid Pacha, with an army
of 40,000 men, composed of the combined forces
of Thessaly and Macedonia, anil all the reinforce
ments from the Bank of the Danube, attacked the
strait* on the 20th July. The columns of the
Turk* which got entangled in the defile, surren
dered after great carnage, and the rest of the
Turkish arc \ took to flight. Pursued in his re
treat. Chonrschid Pacha took the route of Phar
sal>; but in this direction, lie found the defile of
T’Ochis, about four leagues long, where he lost
three fourths of she remains of his army. From j
the Village of Zoh to Thaumacos, the road re
mained blocked up with dead bodies.” (These
statements are accompanied by particulars of the
battles.)
“ The wreck of the Turkish army retreated on
the side of Corinth, where a corps of about 6000
men, consisting ofTurks of Patras and Lepanto,
had just arrived. The victorious Greek army
marched against these new enemies. This second
battle was fought on the 6th and 7th Aug. (15
days after the dates of the Austrian Observer) and
took place in the plains of St. George, between
Argos and Corinth. Three thousand Turks per
ished. No account of the wounded and prison
ers have yet been received ; but about 2000 hors
es, 120 camels, and all the Turkish baggage and
ammunition, fell into the hands of the Greeks;
and the defeated enemy moved towards Corinth,
whither they were followed with vigor, by Colo
cotrone,”
A letter received at one of the outporls in Eng
land from Constantinople, states—“ Since 1 have
been here, 14 days, a great number of Greeks
have lost their beads; they are taken from their
houses, and their heads cut off before their own
doors ; they are then stripped and laid with their
heads upon their bodies for three days; after
which they are thrown into tne harbour. The
streets being very narrow, 1 have been obliged to
step over many, lying in that situation daily.”
The King in Scotland. —“ At the Peers’ Ball
in Edinburgh, hi* Majesty looked on apparently
highly amused with the rapid and animated man
ner in which all the dancers went through the
different figures ; and here I must not omit to
mentiou an instance of singular familiarity on the
part of one of the ladies, which was obviously the
result of the emotion which the presence of his
Majesty inspired. Having to tuni her partner in
one of her complex evolutions, she held out both
her hands to his Majesty, who, far from appearing
offended with the fair enthusiast, placed his hand
upon his breast, and said with a low bow, “ 1
would most willingly, madam, if I could, but I
am sorry to say my dancing days are over.” The
report of this little incident was quickly circulat
ed through the room, and she lady became an ob
ject of interest, for that night at least.
Raleigh, N. C. Oct. 11.
Since the late storm the weather has under
gone an agreeable change ; we have now cool
mornings and evenings, and the whole face of
nature wears the hue of “sober Autumn.” The
beautiful foliage which so lately adorned our trees,
has nearly disappeared, and in its stead the with
ered and yellow leaves still hang, emblems of ap
proaching winter. This change has put an en
tire check to the progress of the disease with
which we have been afflicted this summer, and
those of our friends who are not entirely well, are
in a rapid state of convalescence. Alas ! the hand
of Death has travelled in our little city, since we
saw the last descent of summer. Eyes that hail
ed with delight the coming winter are closed for
ever ; hearts that beat high with joyous expecta
tion have ceased to throb; and many, like the
“lilies of the field, have drooped their heads and
perished” in the summer of their age. Such is
the transitory state of man ! and many a sorrow
ful wound has been inflicted, which time alone,
in his revolving flight, can heal. The towering
oak, the pride of the forest, stands proudly erect
in all its majesty ; the lightnings fall, and instant
ly it stands seared and scathed. But we aiust
not arraign the decrees of Heaven ; it is His will,
and we must submit- Since, then, “ this world’s a
fleeting show,” let ns be resigned ; and when the |
hour hath come which must call us to “ that,
bourne from whence no traveller returns.” may
we be able to meet it with a pure conscience. j

Sickness at New-Orleans. —The account* of the 1
ravages of the fever at Ntw-Orleans, are truly
distressing. Private letters of the 25th and 27th 1
ult. state that between 7 and 800 iiad died from :
the Ist of September up to that date—on the
24th there were 60 cases reported to the Board of
Health; and it was -upposed that about 1200 of
those who were considered liable to take the fe
ver, yet remained. Os one vessel from this port,
it is’ said that but one of the crew, (sixteen in
number exclusive of the captain,) had survived.

A warning to Sabbath Breakers. —A young

having shot one of these little animals on a tree,
he endeavoured to lift his brother up the limb, for j
the purpose of securing his prize, with the butt ;
end of the imi*ket, which he had unconsciously 1
reloaded. While in the act of affording such as- \
sistance, the piece went off; lie received the com- !

part, of revisiting America. What individual
throughout Europe—what crowned monarch
would receive so hearty a shake on his arrival,
from an American hand. How venerable would
be an interview between La Fayette, Thomas
Jefferson,John Adams, Charles Carrol and Charles
Thompson! What thoughts would such a meet
ing inspire! The American, the Spanish, the
French, the South American revolutions would
pass before their eyes in rapid succession ! with
what emotions would La Fayette pass over the
ground where lie had once retreated from Lord
Cornwallis. How would he loiter amidst the
graves of Mount Vernon, and how often would
he muse on the tomb that contains the ashes of
Washington!— Ball. Chronicle.
BEAR CHASE.
York, (Upper Canada) Sept. 23.
The week before last, two boys, one ten and
the other eleven years of age, sons of Mr. William
Johnson, of Campentield Bay, Lake Sinicoe, ob
served an old bear and three young ones swim
ming across the Bay ; they put out after them
with a bark canoe, and, by the use of their fire
arms, soon despatched the young ones, and took
them on board of their canoe. They made seve
ral shots at the head of the old one, with little or
no effect; at length, coming in contact with her,
one of them fired and broke her shoulder ; the
savage ferociousness of the animal was now raised
to desperation, she endeavoured to upset the ca
noe. A sister on shore seeing the hazardous sit
uation of her little brothers, took another boat
and put out to their assistance. The bear saw
her corning, left the boys, and made towards her,
upon which theyoung Nimrodscried out, “Don’t
fear, Sally, thump her on the nose, and keep her
back; we have broken one of her shoulders,
keep her back till we can load again, and we will
break the other.” The boys were as good as
their word ; they did so; and having both legs
disabled, they pushed her head under water with
their paddles and drowned her. They, with some
difficulty, got her into the boat, and took the four
in triumph to land. The names of these lads are
James and William Johnson.

FROM HAVANA.
By the schooner Comet, capt. Campbell, ar
rived yesterday, we received our files of Havana
papers to the 13th inst.
The U. S. ship of war Peacock, arrived, at Ha
vana, about the Ist inst. Off the Bay of Honda,
she fell in with 6 piratical schooners, engaged with
11. B. M. schr. Speedwell —the S. was aground,
and would have been captured but for the Pea
cock's coming up The P. captured 4of the
schooners and 23 Pirates—the other iwo schoon
ers were run on shore and burnt by the Pirates.
She brought one of the prizes into Havana which
was recognised as belonging there to a respecta
ble merchant, and had been captured by the Pi
rates. She was ransomed by her owner, the oth
er three were sent with their prisoners to New-
Orleans. The Peacock gave convoy to the Com
et and others on the 13th,

Dong Island Colton. —We have before us a
sample of Cotton, raised the present season on the
farm of Mr. Tunis D. Culvert, about three miles
south of this village. The staple is not quite as
good as the Georgia Cotton, but for colour and
firmness it is equal to any we have ever seen.
He has about sixty hills, which are all nearly fit
forgathering. The soil on the south side of the
Island is well adapted to Cotton, and the present
instance, confirms us in the opinion that Cotton
may be cultivated with success in the northern
States. [Long Island Farmer.
The Farm of Farms. —A Mr. , at the late
Fair and Cattle Show, iri Brooklyn, Conn, spoke
of the richness and fertility of his farm in the fol
lowing terms, viz: That America was the garden
of the world ; that Connecticut was the garden of
America ; Brooklyn the garden of Connecticut;
and his FARM the garden of Brooklyn. What a

In a late London paper it appears that anew
and easy method has lately been discovered in
England, of preventing the destruction of the
young turnip plants, by the fly, and for which the
discoverer was rewarded with 200 guineas. It is
merely to sow about 2lbs. of raddish seed on eve
ry acre of turnip land, with the turnip seed ; the
fly, preferring to feed on the radish plants, will in
such a case leave the turnip plants unmolested.
The Pun Desperate. —A Lancashire gentleman
having bad the misfortune to hurt his leg, which
occasioned him to be confined to ihe house, his
friends, wishing to enliven the tedium of confine
ment, called to chat with him; in the course of
their conversation they asked him “ How he liked
the Ayreshire Legatees?” The invalid replied,
“ Very well; hut at present I would prefer a Lan
cashire leg at ease.”
A body of Methodists in Kentucky have lately
separated themselves from the episcopal Metho

At a late election in Pennsylvania, for a mem

Rice Glue. —An elegant cement may be made
from rice flour, which is at present used for that
purpose in Chixa and Japan. It is only necessa
ry to mix the rice flour intimately with cold wa
ter, and gently simmer it over the fire; when it
readily forms a delicate and durable cement, not
only answering all the purposes of common paste,
hut admirably adapted for joining together paper,
card, &c. in forming the various beautiful and
tasteful ornaments which afford so much employ
ment and amusement to the ladies. When made
of the consistence of plastick clay, models, busts,
basso-relievos, &c. may be formed ; and the arti
cles when dry are susceptible of a high polish and
are very durable. Portland Gazelle.

each subject has a voice either directly or indi
rectly in the administration of his government,that
particular care should be taken to preserve the
morals and cherish the independence and unbias- (

they beg leave to present it to be a publick griev-!
ance, that laws are not passed to prevent a prac
tice, now too prevalent, of persons making use of
the means of intoxicating their electors, or by oth

their independence and judgment, in orderto se

many procure important offices.

.Another Revolutionary Hero Gone !
DIED, at his residence, in Hancock county,!
on the 7th inst. of the Palsy, with which he had
been afflicted for several years, Henry Gray
bill, Esq. in the 8?d year of his age. He was
born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, but removed to i
South Carolina before the revolutionary war, and
afterwards settled in Georgia, where he lived for- i
ty-tvvo years. Mr. Graybtll was a conspicuous j
and active man during the contest which obtained I
our independence, and filled with credit to him
self and country, the important offices of Survey
or, Clerk of the Court, &c. and was four times
elected by the Legislature of this State, one of ttir
Electors of President and Vice President. He
had been a member of the Baptist Church for fif
ty years, and of the Masonick Fraternity, since
the first establishment s> f regular Lodges in our
State. He sustained through a long life, the most
unhlemished character—but he has been gathered
to his fathers, leaving a rich legacy- of all that is
commendable*in this life, to a numerous tram of
kindred.
Fame will publish, and Genius chronicle the il
lustrious achievements of our heroes—the measur

their renown, the splendour of their names shall
endure, till the last cycle of contending time shall
close the memory of human greatness.
