CIRCULAR.
Sin.—The plans of benevolence which consti
tute the glory of the day in which we live, are so
numerous, that to obtrude another on your coq.-.
aideratiou, with arv expectation of patronage,
would be presumption, were we not persuaded of
its importance and practical utility. It is. sir, a
duty which we owe to you and to the pnblick, to
give a concise statement of the facts which have
led to the formation of a Society, the Constitu
tion of which is herewith transmitted. We nee' 1
not in form you that the number of able and faith
ful ministers of the Gospel among us by no mean’
increases with the increasing population of the
Shate—that many of our churches already organ
ized, are comparatively destitute of the ordinan
ces of the Gospel, and that many more might be
established, if they could be supplied with the
Word of Life. We have looked ar.xidusly for
this supply from those institutions in the more fa
voured sections of our country, whose laud .bh
object it is to aid young meß of piety and talent’
in acquiring an education suitable for the Gospel
Ministry ; hnt our expectations have not been re
alized. In aid of these institutions the citizens.of
Georgia liaTe heretofore contributed with their
accustomed liberality : but a general impression
at present prevails, that our benevolence should
be less diffusive; and that our exeiti ms ‘hoold h
principally concentrated in building up our owe
and repairing her waste places. In the dif
ferent denominations cf Chri-iians in onr own.
State we are personally acquainted with young
men of piety ami talents, who would gladly labour
in the vineyard of Christ, but who are unable to
Sueur the expense of an education preparatory to
the, work. Unless, therefore, some benevolent
individuals or some society shall take them under
their patronage, their usefulness will be limited
to the obscure walks of private life. Yon will
doubtless concur in the sentiment that with the
progress of literary improvement in any country,
the prosperity of religion requires a similai im
provement in the ministry- While we rejoice in
the good which many pious and zealous defenders
of the faith have been enabled by the blessing of
God to effect, whose opportunities in early life
• were limited, we caunot avoid asking how much
more good they might have done if to the same
piety and zeal had been united the learning of a
Gill, a Wesley o‘r aL> wight. Our object in short
is the supply of our own churches with pious and
able ministers of the Gospel, to bring to light tal
ents tffat are concealed under the mask of pover
ty, and to encourage young men of piety and tal
ents to engage in that glorious cause, the fruits of
which will forever remain.
As our interests are identified with the interests
f this State, as its political and literary institu
tions are dear to us; and as the religion of the
Gospel ably and faithfully preached is calculated
to secure a continuance of the blessings which
we now enjoy, shall we not use our exertions to
raise up those among u who shall “ point to
heaven and lead the way ?” And may we not,
sir, expect your hearty concurrence and liberal!
patronage ?

We observe it stated in a late number of the
Columbian Star, that the Rev.Mr. Fisk, one of tin
American Missionaries to Palestine, is supported
by ladies in Charleston, S. C. This is a mistake.
Mr. Fisk is supported by the “ Missionary Socie
ty of Savannah,” an association composed -cf
Christians of different denominations In that city.
The American (late New England) Tract
Society, have published during the last year,
470,000 Tracts. These will average about 10 pa
ges each, making a total of about 4,700,000 pa
ges ; a greater number than has ever been pub
lished in one year.
Choctaw Mission. —Mr. Kingsbury writes to
the Secretary of the Board, under -date of May
10, that he was attending a council to which he
was called for the purpose of inquiring into some
idje and slanderous reports relative to the Mis
sionaries and several of the head men. He states
that a great effort was making to oppose the pro
gress of the Gospel, and all the zeal and discre
tion which could be exercised, were required to
counteract the evil designs of the enemies of light
and truth Dissolute white men, settled in the
Indian territories, are generally, bitter enemies to
the moral improvement of the natives, and many
of them spare no pains to counteract the exer
tions of the missionaries. An Indian who had
two children in the school at Mayhew, came and
took them away in consequence of bad reports,
which he said he did not at first credit, but having
heard
The boys wept bitterly when told they must leave
the school, on seeing which their father observed,
• You cried when 1 wished to bring you
oere, and it seems l shall have trouble to get you
away.” They were affectionate and obedient to
their teacher, to whom their departure was ex
tremely painful.
Providential Interposition. —Lorn. Barter, in
o inimunicating to the Secretary of the Navy th
.flicial details of the late capture and destruction
of pirates by Lieut. Watson, very justly observes:
” When we take into consideration the im
mense superiority of force opposed to him, the
advantage and preparation on the part of the pi
rates, and the result of the action, we carn.ot but
he impressed with the conviction; that notning
less than Providential influence and protection
could have occasioned consequences so fatal ti
the pirates, and so exempt from injury on out
side as to appear almost miraculous.”
General Intelligence.
BAD .YEIVS FROM EUROPE.
An arrival at New York has brought English
papers to the 29t!i of June. The intelligence fur
nished from Spain appears to he conclusive of
the fate of Constitutional Liberty in that country.
Vhe editor of the Cora. Advertiser observes, that
‘‘There is not a syllable furnished by6ilher f
these arrivals, that wears an aspect favourable ‘ >
the cause of Spanish liberty. Mina has had an
other unsuccessful battle with a detachment of th.
French in Catalonia, and has shut himself up in
the Sen d’Urgel, with but a handful of followers
—less than a tluuisaud, bv all accounts. The
French have moved rapidly over the southern
provinces, without any opposition worth naming,
and Cadiz is closely invested by land and sea.—
Gibraltar papers to the 4th July, received at
Philadelphia, state, that Cadiz was closely invest
ed by the French both by sea & land ; and it was
reported that the Cortez had offered to surrender
the person of the King into the hands of the duke
d’Angooleme, provided he would guarantee their
■ ersonal -afe >.
It was rumoured at Frankfort, that she Turkish
fleei, which has been so long preparing for sea.
has been very roughly handled by the Greeks.
Nothing certain, however, was known with re
gard to war operations in that quarter.
Virginia Penitentiary Destroyed.
The Penitentiary at Rictynond, Va. was com
pletely destroyed by fire on the evening of the
10th mat. The fire commenced in the central
building, and baffled every exertion to check its
progress. The prisoners were all secured by the
military, and marched off to the capitol. The
ldssto the Commonwealth is estimated at 200,000
dollars. It is strongly suspected that the fire was
designedly communicated.
Dr. Walsh — Taken.— lt is fnentinned in the
New Yoru Gazette, that Dr. VVm_ A. Walsh, of
Lausingbnrg, was apprehended on board the
steamboat f ire-fly, by Mr. W. S. (Miter, of that
city. It is stated that Mr. Miter, from an early
acquaintance with Dr. Walsh, on meeting him in
New York, warned him of his danger, by inform
ing him “of the large reward that was offered for
his apprehension, but which would not induce
him to distress an old acquaintance.’ Walsh then
went off, expressing his determination to go up
the Hudson to see his family. On reflection how
ever, Mr. Miter considered it his duty to society
to forego his friendly feelings, and after consulting
with a friend, he went in pursuit of the accused,
found him on board the Fire fly, and conveyed
him to prison.
We are not apprised of all the particulars
of the transaction which has placed Doctor
Walsh in his present situation, and if we were,
it would be improper perhaps to detail them, as
an investigation must take place before a legal
tribunal, where evidence on both sides must be
heard, and where a decision highly interesting
and important to him and the country must take
place. —Augusta Chronicle.

Salisbury. N, C. August 5
A netl of Counlerftilert broken up.— \ friend
writes us from Lincolnton, that or the 27th inst.
certain persons by the name of David Gillan, J.
Powers. Christian Rhodes, Michael Rhyne and
others, were arrested and brought to examination
on the charge of counterfeiting. Khyne was dis
charged, Rhodes admitted to bail, and the others
’ committed to jail. In the course of the examina
tion, information leaked out as to the place where
their apparatus fur coining was concealed; a par
ty set out ir. search of the same. On reaching
the house of Gillum Powers, they there, by a cu
rious accident, Ibund twenty dollar*, manufactur
ed principally outofjxtrfer. but very badly execu
ted: they also found 15 more concealed in a
piece of woods not far from the house. These last
were in a very imperfect state, not as yet having
- received the impression of the stauopa. It remain
ed yet to find out the mouldi, end these were also I
brought to light in acm ions manner. During the
time while the party were making their search, j
they were regaled with many gentle oaths and
appropriate epithets from the ladies of Gitlam,
and David Powers:—at length, Mrs. Powers, in a
canting way, said to the party, “that they had
belter dig up the garden—the searchers observ
mg signs of alarm in the countenance of the other
lair one, at this unseasonable remark of her com
panion, determined to take her at her word; they
commenced searching in the garden, and in a very
short time, found the moulds in a sugar-dish, bu
ried in the earth ; also, pewter, and many other
ingredients necessary to carry on the trade of
coming dollars. In the course of the different
searches, about 60 dollars were found with the
party. Our readers, we have no doubt, would
be surprised to hear that all this has been going
on in the neighbourhood of their old acquaint
ance, Abraham Collins, and he has had no hand
in it; but l.et them check their surprise—for old
Abraham and young Abraham too, were there:
they were implicated, examined, and committed
to jail. Young Abraham is a graudson of the old
one, and, from all accounts, bids fair to be wor
thy of the stock from whence he sprung. The old
man says he is 70 years—the young one is about
18 years of age.
These are the persons who some time since
discovered the silver Mine in Lincoln ; it is now
ascertained to be a trick of theirs, to cover their
counterfeiting operations.
The citizens of Lincoln, and its vicinity, de
serve well of the community for their perseve
rance in detecting this gang of villains: they
spent four days in searching out, arresting and
guarding them until examined and committed.

North Carolina Gold.—We have seen some
specimens of the ore taken from the gold mine
lately discovered in North Carolina, and brought
to this city by a gentleman from Clieraw, (S. C.)
about thirty miles from the mine. The metal as
taken from the bed, is almost in a pure state—
there being not more than 10 per cent, of alloy.
The mine is supposed to he very rich and exten
sive, and the precious metal is contained in a sand
bed. It is obtained by sifting the sand. Some
tiiqes large and valuable masses are found. A
poor man, we are told, bitrly found a piece by
accident, which is worth seventeen hundred dol
lars !—J\f. Y. Spectator.

td in the Court of Appeals of Maryland, which
lias been pending more than eighteen years.
Returns have been so far received of the elec
tion in Alabama make it more than probable
that Gov. Pickens ha- been re-elected. G. W.

A lot of ground in the city of New York, the
area cf which is about 25 hy 30 feet, was lately
s -Id for 920.500 ! This must be the highest price
ever paid for the -ame s.iace of ground. It is at
the enormous rate of one million and a hundred
mid eighty-nine thousand dollars per acre.
Anew Fit. —A lad at Epsom (England) races
was apprehended for takitlg a handkerchief ont of
i gentleman’s pocket. He made a curious de
fence; he sard tie was subject to fits, and did not
know what he was about when he took the hand
kerchief! Whereupon his worship observed that
■e had heard of fits of anger, fits of love, &c. and
no doubt there might be fits of stealing, hut he
imped the prisoner would find the tread-mill an
excellent reined, against a recurrence of such fits.
The King of Wirtemburg lately gave his sub
jects a Constitution. This unkingly act hat
startled the Holy Allies, and they have withdrawn
the if ambassadors ! A column of Austrian troops
will probably be sent to deliver the monarch from
this voluntary enthralment, and to restore hap
piness to his subjects !
An American traveller in Italy states that the
old king of Naples is the greatest crowned dunce
m Europe. His ideas never extended to any thing
more important than hunting and fowling, and so
fond is tie of the latter, that he prevailed on the
Pope to allow him to shoot pheasants on the Sab-
Oath ! It was to support this brute in absolute pow
er, that Austria marched an army to Naples,.and
overthrew the constitutional government
Conspiracy against Alexander. —’The British
Press of June 14, in commenting on an article
from Berlin, respecting disturbances in Russia,
says -“ A conspitaey .against the life of Alexan
der is said to have been discovered, in which sev
eral of the first families in his dominions pfe re
ported to be involved. The unnimunication is
stated to have been made by an eocltsia.-tick to
the empress mother, and to be of such moment
that the northern despot has abandoned all inten
<ion<f proceeding on his summer tour through
1ta1... i ini there coiieiiniinating the plans of the
Hos, A'li trice against the frtedoui of that fine and
oppre-s <1 country and irpain, and conspiring fur
tlief against the repose and happiness of Europe.
Alexander’s grandfather, the besotted Peter, anil
his father.the frautick Paul,both fell by the hands
of assassins. Strong discoutent has prevailed
throughout Russia since the detp designs igainst
the Turkish provinces were abandoned. Since
Alexander withdrew bis ravenous hordes from the.
Truth, and transferred them to Poland, the mur
mur nf dissatisfaction has been frequent and loud.
The war against the Ottoman was popular from
two motives—first, from fanaticism and religions
attachment to the Greeks ; and next, from the
thirst .for sptvrT and plunder. Strong reproach
throughout all Russia has fallen on Alexander for
his vile’ duplicity and conduct to the Greeks.
He first incited them to revolt, and then abandon
ed them to their fell oppressors, lie shrunk from
the contest with the Moslem, dismayed by the
jealousy of Austria and the persevering interfe
rence of Great Britain. He thought, too, to take
the Turk unprepared, and he saw his fanaticism
enkindled, and the sabres afid ataghnns of the
Janntssaries dashing in the sun-beamv. Wide
spread n order, rapine and violation succeeded
among the deluded Greeks; the sun went down
for weeks together amid the shrieks of extermina
ted victims, and the moon slept for nights upon
an ocean of blood. Divine or human justice
would not be accomplished unless the perfidious
despot tasted in his own person a portion of the
indescribable suffering his frauds and falsehoods
bed entailed on hapless thousands. This is not
the first conspiracy batched against him ; anoth
er broke out in the Imperial Guards before. His
fall would be a pnblick benefit to Europe ; his ex
istence and power are incompatible with its salety
or freedom. We are no friends to conspiracies,
and would wish to see him fall otherwise than by
the assassin’s bands; but it would be well for the
civilized world and its happiness that be was no
more.”
