MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, APRIL 7, 1823.
For the. Missionary .
Messrs. Editors—Both sides ought lo be heard,
that an impartial public): may have some data on
winch to form a correct judgment. The freedom
of the press is a blessing, of which we boast much
in this country. This inestimable privilege, at
present, is only nominal ; perhaps it will shortly
be something worse, if those who superintend (he
piess, arrogate the right of suppressing whatever
they deem contrary to their own political, moral,
or religious sentiments. Those who receive all
their information from the columns of a newspa
per, can never be correctly informed, while Edi.
tors arc influenced by such principles. Where
the Telescope circulates without the limits of
our own state, if its contents are btlieved, when
read, our sister States must form a very low esti
mate of our moral worth. It is not mortification
enough to the refined and religious feelings of the
community that such a character as l )r. T.Cooper
should be at the head of our College ; lint this
additional ingredient must he mixed in the bitter
cup, “ That lie has been raised to this important
station by the voice of the citizens of South < aro
lina.” This bold assertion should never have
dropped from the pen of Dr. Cooper. The man
tier and means of his elevation to the presidential
chair of the South Carolina College, are not very
well calculated to throw around him or his elec
tors, a halo of glory. When his election was
pending, there were some vacancies in the Board
of Trustees, which his friends would not dare to
have filled, till his election was secured. Such a
notorious want of unanimity prevailed in the
Board, that some voted with blank tickets. Not
withstanding this fact, Dr. Cooper, in his stric
tures on Judge Johnson of Charlston, endeavours
to impress the community wijh the belief that lie
is tne favourite of the good people of South Caro
lina. “If the system be as I presume it may
•be uncpiestionably popular,’ (hen the above par
agraph is unquestionably intended to render Mr.
Cooper unpopular. Os this there can be no
doubt ; and it is but too well calculated to injure
Ulr. Cooper in the opinion of his fellow-ci/icens.
who have placed him at the head of the first and
most important sejminary of publick instruction
in South Carolina.” flow does this assertion tal
ly with the fact, that many of the most respecta
ble and influential citizens of the State, (Dr.
Cooper himself being judge) have sent their sons
to other colleges, while I yf heavy taxation they
are contributing to the support of the South Car
olina College? The plain truth i s , men who fear
the Lord and obey his commandments, cannot
trust their sons with the biographicalAppendicerof
Dr. Priestly. Itis matter of much congratulation,
that it is not in the power of legislative committees
to change that current of moral & religious feeling
of (he Slate, which is delineated in lively characters
upon the comparatively empty walls of the col
lege edifice. It is extremely unfair to cast the
blame of the languishing state of (he Institution
on the 11 systcmatick hostility of the Clergy,”
because a layman is at (he head of it. Did a sin
gle Clergyman in the State oppose the election of
Col. Elliot? And why not ? Because he was be
lieved to be a man who possessed sound and cor
rect principles; one with whom youth might be
trusted with safety. The committee ought to
have spoken plainly, and given the true reason
•why Ministers of the Gospel are opposed to the
present President of the South Carolina College.
If he possessed the talents of an angel, the urban
ity of a Chesterfield, the perspicuity of a Locke,
and the eloquence of a Cicero ; still, a believer
in the Lord Jesus Christ dare not intrust with him
that son, whom he is commanded to bring up “in
the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” It is
both whimsical and dangerous to hazard the as
sertion, “ that it is an institution at which nothing
but human science is taught.” If this be true,
why are morning and evening prayers in college
found amongst that class of duties which devolve
on the President ? If religion be no part of the
Collegiate course pursued in this seminary, why
are the evidences of the Christian religion made
a branch of those studies, to which young men
will have an opportunity of attending, “ under
an able Professor?” Such equivocation on any
other subject, would extort a smile. Truly that
cause must be bad, which requires such support.
Should the President attempt to pray, or deliver
lectures on the evidences of Christianity, in so
doing he must either deny the Bible, or subject
himself to the broad charge of hypocrisy. He
has no alternative left. Were he to implore a
blessing in the name of Christ, and for the sake
of his merits, while lie believes him to be a mere
man, his own conscience could not exculpate him
from the charge of dissimulation. If, to avoid
this difficulty, he were to ask for blessings without
the intervention of atoning blood, where will he
find a warrant for such a bold and daring step ?
If he refuse to pray, what will he do with his oath
of office, by which he is bound with the greatest
solemnity, to execute the laws of the institution?
No view can be taken of the subject, which will
Tender it proper for a good man to place his son
where he must daily witness the exhibition of so
much inconsistency of principle and absurdity of
practice. A CAROLINIAN.
A handsome engraving of Washington’s Fare
well Address, has just been executed by Messrs.
Fairsuan & Cos. of Philadelphia. The design, as
Well as the execution, is said to be beautiful. At
the head of the Address is an accurate likeness of
our political Father, and below it is a vignette,
representing Religion, Virtue, Union and Peacei
(the great objects of the Stateiman’s veneration)
with a nest of doves, and the American banner,
fttudd ed with stars.
The Presidency. —A committee appointed at a
publick meeliug in one of the counties of Penn
sylvania, to prepare an address to the people ol
the Union on the subject of the next presidential
election, requested Gen. Jackson to inform them
whether he approved of his name being used, at
this t iu.c, as a candidate for tire Presidency. The
following is the concluding paragraph of the Gen
eral’s reply, and may explain the reason of his
declining a mission to Mexico :
The office of chief magistrate of the union, is
one of great responsibility : As it should not be
fought by any individual of the reptiblick, so it
cannot, with propriety, be declined, when offered
by those who have the power of selection. It is
interesting to the American people alone, and in
the election, they should exercise their free and
unbiassed judgment. It was with these impres
sions, I presume, and without any consultation
with me, that the members of the legislature of
the state of Tennessee, as an additional testimony
of their confidence in me, thought proper to pre
sent my name to the consideration of the Ameri
can community. My political creed prompts me
to leave the affair uninfluenced by any expression i
on my part, and to the free will of those who have
alone tiie right to decide.
Your obedient, Sic.

COM. PORTER'S SQUADRON.
TheSpatii-h polacre brig Carina, was boarded
ori the 20th Feb. off Key Vaccas, by the store-ship
Brutus, attached to Com. Porter’s squadron, and
her papers not being satisfactory, she was order
ed to Key West for the inspection of the Com
modore, but not finding him there, she was sent
into Mobile for adjudication, where she arrived
on the Bth tilt.
The whole of Com. Porter’s squadron, except
the Greyhound, arrived at St. Thomas on the 3d
March. The English squadron, of four sail, pas
sed the island on the same day.
More Piracy. —On the 27th ult. the French
brig La Jeune Henrietta, put into Savannah, in
distress, having been captured by two piratical
schooners on the 17th, off the port of Havana.—
The brig was robbed of a part of her cargo, and
the captain and passengers were barbarously
whipped, and otherwise grossly insulted. After
being detained a day, during which time the pi
rates were engaged in plundering the vessel, and
extorting money from the crew hy the most cruel
personal violence, the biig was liberated, and the
captain directed to proceed on his voyage. The
pirates put on board the brig two females and a
child taken from a Dutch vessel which these ma
rauders had captured, and the crew of which it is
supposed, they murdered. One of the ladies had
a rope put around her neck and a knife present
ed to her breast to enforce a disclosure of secret
ed money. Several American vessels were rob
bed while the females were on board the pirate, a
period of only ten days. We trust the next Amer
ican vessel which these villains encounter, may
belong to the squadron of Coin. Porter.
The Philadelphia papers state, that the outer
walls of the new Penitentiary in that city will en
close eleven acres of ground. The interiour, in
tended for tire residence of prisoners, will consist
of nearly 300 cells, each intended for the abode of
one prisoner only, with a small yard iu the rear,
and so constructed, that one of the keepers, by
taking post in the centre of the building, can
command a view of all the passages. This es
tablishment promises greater advantages than any
house of correction ever built in any country.
An attempt was lately made by the negroes
belonging to Constantine Perkins, Esq. to burn
the dwelling-house of their master near Tusca
loosa, A. The fire was communicated in the
night, during his absence. The flames were ex
tinguished by the exertions of Mrs. Perkins, who
was awakened by the smoke before the fire bad
become unmanageable. The negroes refustd to
render her any assistance, a circumstance which
led to their examination the next day, when they
confessed the crime. The reason which they
gave for its commissisn was, that they wished to
live in the town, and supposed their master would
build there in the event of his dwelling in the
country being destroyed.
Information wanted.— Rumours are afloat, and
we seer more than rumours, that our government
tiave received official intormalion from our minis
ters abroad, that it is the settled determination of
the English diustry to take possession of the
island of Cuba. ‘Ye know that the last despatch
es that were received, were enclosed in an enve
lope endorsed, Very important Intelligence. Twl
cabinet councils have been held since the recep
tion of those despatches and nothing has trans
pired since they have broken up. On this subject
the National Intelligencer preserves a guarded
and ominous silence. Our government, it is per
fectly well known, would not suffer Cuba to pass
under English jurisdiction with their consent, and
it is strongly suspected, that this question has
occupied two cabinet councils. We are perhaps
nearer than many are aware, of being concerned,
not U3 neutrals, but as parties in the ensuing con
tests of Europe. Is there any other question
growing out of the present hostile attitude of Eu
rope, that could so directly affect the interest of
America? Cuba is to the United States immense
ly important, not only iu its natural, but likewise
in its political and commercial connexion with
the country.—[/j'a/i. Chronicle.
Charleston, March 17.
The schooner Eliza, arrived here on Saturday,
left Havana on the 7th inst. but brought no News
papers. We learn, verbally, that the press for
seamen was very rigidly executed, and that
amongst others taken up were sixteen Pirates —a
quarrel took place between them, after their im
pressment, in which mutual recrimination was fol
lowed by blows, and six of the number were des
perately wounded with knives; three of them
died immediately, and the other three were not
expected to recover. A few days previous to the
Eliza’s sailing, a number of boats left Havana, on
board of which it was said there were about 300
men, destined, as was supposed, for Cape Anto
nio, Sic. on a Piratical expedition. These despe
radoes will be likely to come in contact with
stune of Com. Porter’s squadron.
Salt Water. —A person at Wheeling, Va. has
penetrated a rock seven hundred and fifty stet, in
search of salt water. He found a vein at the
depth of 440, but not sufficiently large for bis pur
pose. He bores by horse power, at oue fourth
the usual expense. At 500 feet he passed through
a thin stratum of stone coal. 3he rock still pre
sents the same appearance that it did near the i
surface of the earth. [Washingtonpa. I
FOREIGN ITEMS.
In the British Parliament the threatened war
against Spain excites but oue common sentiment
of indignation.
Sir James Mcfntosh, Mr. Brougham, and Mr.
Denman, champions always of the rights of roan,
distinguished themselves in the debate on this sub
ject, and operfly vindicated u war by England in
support of Spain.
Lord Liverpool praised (he leaders of the Spa
nish tevolution, as having conducted it with un
exampled prudence and moderation.
The speech of the British Monarch, and the
subsequent discussion in Parliament, are well
calculated to arrest the infatuated war spirit of
the rash advisers of Louis the 18th.
3he Continental Powers are making demon
strations in favour of the position assumed by
France ’ towards Spain. An army of 100,000
I Austrian, Prussian and other German troops, is to
be stationed along the Rhine. A more active
part is assigned to Russia, who, it is reported* is
to place a fleet at the disposal of France, and ••
to march 30,000 men into Italy, to be embarked
for Catalonia. Another Congress is talked of, to
be assembled at Verona.
On the aaniversary of the death of Louis XVI.
the shipping at Marseilles struck their yards and
hoisted their flags balf-mast, with the exception
ot one Spanish ship, called the “ Constitution or
Death,” the captain of which swore he would do
no such thing, unless compelled by force, which
was accordingly resorted to.
But little is said in the late accouuts, respect
ing the Greeks and ‘l urks, and that little is fa
vourable to the cause of the Greeks. The Janis
saries of Constantinople have cut off the heads of
the Viziers, the Director of the Customs, and
Haleb F.ffendi. Chourschid Pacha, and the Cap
tains of the fleet which suffered at Tenedus, had
■also expiated the crime of being unsuccessful,
with the loss of their lives.
A profitable Subscriber. —When Mr. Holt, a
printer, established his newspaper in New York,
in 1796, a person in the vicinity of Albany, who
was wealthy, but celebrated for his narrow, pe
nnrions disposition, beeauie one of his earliest
subscribers. At the end of the first year, the ed
itor sent bis account for the yearly subscription,
urging a request, that it might be settled the first
convenient opportunity. No answer, however,
came. The bills were sent regularly for eighteen
years, but with the same success—till at length,
Mr. Holt, as may well be supposed, got out of all
patience with his customer, had the whole ac
count made out and sent to him ; adding to the
foot thereof, that if it was not immediately paid,
be would put it in suit, and discontinue sending
any more newspapers. The subscriber, having
read over the account, exclaimed, with a disdain
ful sneer, “ IVhat an ungrateful puppy! 1 was
one of the first that encouraged his paper by sub
scribing ; have continued ever since ; and this is
the return he makes me!”
Fat Hogs and Cattle. —3'he Bridgeton (N. .’.)
Whig gives us an account of a hog fatted and
killed by Mr. Harris, which was but 20 months
and 22dayj old, and weighed alive nine hundred
and seventy-five pounds. The weight, when dres
sed, was 892 pounds. The same paper mentions
four hogs killed by Mr. J. Johnston, whose aggre
gate weight was 2,081 pounds, though their ave
rage age did not exceed 20 months. A Heifer a
little rising three year 6 old, which weighed 1,186
pounds.
The Baltimore Morning Chronicle notices the
approach of war in Europe as “ brighter pros
pects.” Some thousands of human beings are to
be killed ; as many more maimed ; a now peace
ful region to be devastated, its inhabitants plun
dered and impoverished ; women ravished ; chil
dren bayonetted ; liberty in jeopardy, and its de
fenders exposed to the revengeful grasp of super

I In London a married lady, of the most respec

itv had previously invented Lace, the D—l would
not have tempted Eve w ith an Apple.” In this
instance the lady was under 20 years —had been j
married a few months, and was in a delicate situ

Lord Byron, it is said, is coming to this coun
try. We are sorry to hear it. He will not be
pleased with the U. Stales. Neither tbeirclimate
nor their manners are sensualized, as in Italy. He
will find that bis mind has travelled in advance
of his withered ttie flowers that he hopes
for in his path. He will behold the pious recoil

poetical subject, at least as much so as “ Don
Juan.” Campbell writes doggrel about us, and
“ little Moore” wrote slander. If Lord Byron

to, would be his disaffection to the Ministry.
But if he should abuse us, we ought not to com

At Walnut Grove, Abbeville Dist. South Caro
lina, on the 24th of March, 1823, Mrs. Louisa M.
Cater, consoit of the Rev. K. B. Cater. 33ie loss
of this amiable lady is deeply felt by all who were
intimately acquainted with her, and who knew
how to estimate moral worth and religious excel
lence.
About ten or twelve years ago she became ex
perimentally acquainted with the Lamb of God
that taketh away the sins of the world. Since
that period she walked worthy of the high voca-’
tion wherewith she was called. Through all the
varied scenes of domestick life, as daughter, sis
ter, wife and mother, she exhibited the virtues of
an humble and zealous follower of the meek and
lowly Jesus. She knew in whom she believed,
and that he was able to keep that which she had
committed unto him against that day. ller
health was not good for some years past; but still
she was cheerful, calm, and resigned, fully per
suaded “ that all tilings work together for good to
them who love God • to them the called
according to his purpose.” For some months pre
vious to her death, she spoke of her dissolution
with as much composure, and certainty as people
do generally of the common concerns of life.
While her friend? were fondly anticipating her
recovery, she was busily engaged in setting her
house in order; for she knew that she would die
and not live; but this knowledge excited in her
soul no alarm. In all her piotracted illness she
suffered as seeing him who is invisible. She long
ed to depart and be wilh Christ, which is far bet
ter. Her eternal gain is a severe loss to her sur
viving friends; especially to her widowed hus
band, and the helpless pledges of their mutual
love. But let them not sorrow as those who
have no hope. “ Blessed are the dead who die
in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saitli the
Spiiit, that they may rest from their labours, and
their works do follow them.” —[ Communicated.
