THE CRUELTIES OF CRUCIFIXION.
Crucifixion was a common mode of punishment
among the Persians, Carthigcnian* A Romans
It was regarded as a most ignominious punish
ment, and was indicted by the Romans on ser
vants who had committed crimes, on robber*,
assassins and rebets. Among the last of these
Jesus was reckoned, on the ground of his mak
ing himself King or Me-siah. Luke xxiii. Al
though he was put to death, at tbe solicitude of
the Jews, tbe Romans were his executioners,
and he was crucified in tbe Roman manner.—
The sufferings endured by a person on whom
this punishment was inflicted by that people,
are thus narrated by George Gottlieb Ritcher,
a German physician. [Fam. Vis.
The position of the body l* unnatural,
the arms being extended back ami alums*
immoveable. In ca*e of the least motion
ao extremely painful sensation is expenen
ced in the hand* and feet, which are pierced
with nails, and io the back, which is lacer
ated with stripe*.
The nails, being driven through the parts
of the hand* and feet, which abound in
nerrej and tendons, create the most exquisite
anguish.
The exposure of so many wounds to the
open air, brings on an inflammation, which
• very moment increases the poignancy of
the suffering.
In those parts of the body, which are dis
tended or pressed, more blood flows through
the arterie*, than can be carried bark m
the veins. The consequence is, that a
greater qnaDtity of blood finds its way from
the aorta into the head and stomach, than
would be carried there by a natural and un
disturbed circulation. The blood vessels
of the head become pressed and swollen,
which of course causes pain, and a redness
ot the face. Tlte circumstance of tbe blood
being impelled in more than ordinary quan
lilies, into the stomach, i* an unfavourable
one also, because it is that part of the sys
tem, which not only admits 0 f the blood be
ing stationary, but is peculiarly exposed to
mortification. The aorta, not being at lib
erty to empty, in tbe tree anil undisturbed
way as formerly, the blood which it receives
from the left ventricle of the heart, is nna
bie to receive its usual quantity. The
blond of the long*, therefore, is unable to
find a free circulation. This general ob
‘troction extends it? effects likewise i 0 tbe
right ventricle, and the consequence is an
toternal excitement, and exertion, and anx
iety, which are more intolerable, ihan the
anguish of death itself. All the large ves
sels about the heart, and all the veins and
arteries in that part of the system, on ac
count of the accumulation and pressure of
blooJ, are the source of inexpressible mis
ery.
The dpgree of anguish is gradual in it*
increase, and the person crucified is able to
live under it commonly till the third, and
sometimes till the seventh day. Pilate,
therefore, being surprised at the speedy
termination of the Saviours life, inquired
in re*pect to the truth of the centurion
himself, who commanded the soldiers,
Mark xv. 44. In order to bring their life
to a more speedy termination, so that they
might be bnried on the same day, the bones
of ihe two thieves w ere broken with mal
lets, John xix. 31—37 ; and in order to as
certain this point in respect to Jesu*, Ti.z

his left side.) but no signs of life appeared,

LETTER ON GREECE.
Colonel Stanhope, of whose proceedings
in Greece the publick heard a good deal io
the course of the last year, has just publish
ed a very interesting pamphlet on the state
of that country. The Colonel, in the au
tumn of 1823, generously offered to the
Greek Committee to proceed to Greece as
their agent, and Ihe present publication
consists tor the most part of letters written
(o the Secretary of that Committee from
different part* of Greece and the lonian Isl
ands. It is concluded the best report on the
slate of affairs in that quarter which has ev
er appeared.
The following letter is on the state of
parties io Greece :
“The stale of Greece is not easily con
veyed to the mind of a foreigner. The so
ciety is formed— Ist, us the Primates, who
lean to oligarchy, or Turkish principles of
government; 2dly, ot the Captains, who
profess democratical notion*, but who are,
m reality, for power and plunder; and
lastly, of the people, who are irreproacha
ble io character, and of course desire to
have proper weight in the constitution.
The people of the Pelopoooesus are much
under the inllueoce of the civil and milita
ry oligarchies. Those of Eastern aDd Wes
tern Greece are chiefly under the captains.
Os these Odysseus is the most influential:
his father never bowed to the Turkish
yoke; he was a freeman and a robber.
Odysseus himself s< brought up by the
famous tyrant Ali Pacha. He is shrewd
and ambitious, and has played the tyrant,
bat is now persuaded that the road to fame
and wealth it by pursuing good government.
He therefore follows this course, and sup
ports the People and the Republick. Ne
gri*, who once signed his sentence of death,
is now his Minister. Os the Islands, Hy-
Jra and Spezza are under the influence of
some rich oligarchs, supported by the rab
ble; and Ipsara is purely democratick.
“Tbe parties may be said to be three—
first, There is Mavrocordato, tbe oligarchs
of the islands, and some of those of the Pe
loponnesus, and the legislative body.
These are for order and a mild despotism,
either under a foreign King, or otherwise.
This faction stood high, hut must now
change its principles or lose it* power;
2dly, There is Colocotroni, and some of the
captains, and some of the oligarchs of the
Mures, who are for power aud plunder.
This party is going down hill at a gallop.
And 3dly, There is Ipsilanti, Odysseus, Ne
gris, and the mass, who are now beginniug
to embrace republican notions, finding that
they cannot otherwise maintain their
i power.
| “Now the question is, which of these
parties should an honest man embrace ? All
have stumbled by endeavouring to hug tbe
best of these factions. I have pursued an
other course, cautiously avoiding them all.
I have loudly rated all for their vices, and
as loudly praised them for their good acts.
| This tor one who has no genius for polt’i
| cal intrigue, facticks, or what is called di
plomacy, is the safest cour-e. It places a
mn of a plain mind on a level with, and
even above, a high flying politician of the
1 Gentz or Mettermch school.
“Greece and all the islands are tranquil,
with the exception of two towns—namely,
| Napoli, which ia blockaded by the Govern
| meot, and Missolongtii, which is disturbed
by a body of Soliots, who play the preto
riaus.
“ Civilization and good government are
gaioiog ground, chiefly through the means
ot publicity. There is a great fond of vir
toe in Greece, but it is monopolized by the
peasantry. What is most wanted is a good
representative body, some good prefects,
good judges, and pnblick writers. Two or
three active and stroDg minded Englishmen
might do incalculable gooJ in Greece, for
the people are anxious to improve.
The war lingers, owing to the dissen
sions which prevail among tbe ruling few;
otherwise it might easily be put an end to,
with the assistance of the loan. Eastern
and Western Greece may be defended with
about 12,000 men. By taking one cf the
castles at the mouth ot the Corinthian Gulf,
and blockading Patras and Lepanto with
1000 men each, these fortresses might be
reduced. During these operations the
people of Olympus should be encouraged
to rise io rear of the Turkish armies. Af
ter a summer’s defensive campaign, the
Greeks should pu*h on in the winter, aod
sorprise and conquer.
“ My principal exertions have been di
rected towards promoting education, pub
licity, union, and military exertion, and to
wards crushing the oligarch*, by giving
power to the people, and raising the char
acter ot their Representative* I confess
that I am sanguine with respect to the ut
timate success of the Greek* I found thi*
opinion on the virtuous character of the
people, on the strength of tbeir country,on
their martial character, and tbeir being all
armed, on the multiplicity of little chiefs,
oo the sudden ri-e and fall of ‘heir leaders,
oo the love they have for their ancestors,
on the clashing interests of their eoemips,
and on their attachment to tbe elective
franchise, annualily, universality, publicity,

PUBLICK EDUCATION.
STATEMENT
Os the Common School System of Connecti
cut, prepared at the re./uest of Alfred Cuth
bert, of the House of Representatives by A.
VV. Edwards.
The state of Connecticut, is divided into
counties, towns and ecclesiastical societies
sometimes called Parishes.
The inhabitants living within the limits
of an ecclesiastical society are constitnted a
school society, and are required to meet an
nually at such time and place as they may
judge proper, and on being so met are to
choose a moderator, a clerk and a treasur
er and also to choose a committee,consisting
of three or more of their member* to ord*r
their affairs for the year ensuing.
The Society ha* power to divide itself
into districts for keeping schools.
The School societies at their annnal meet
ings are to appoint a proper person to be a
committee for each school district, whose
doty it is to manage the concern* of (he
district and to provide an instructor for the
school, with the assent of the district, and
the visitor* of the school Society. The
inhabitants of the school districts io their
lawful meetings by a major vote, have pow
er to appoiot a clerk, who is to be sworn,
and whose duty it is to make entries of all
their voles and proceedings, and give at
tested copies thereof, which are legal evi
dence in coarts. They also appoint a treas
urer, who is 9worn to a faithful discharge
! of bis trosl, and who is to receive all mon
! ies belonging to the district, and pay out
the same to the order of the district, or the
committee of the district: and render his
account annually. They also have power
to build and provide a school house, make
rules relative to Ihe school house, and to
damages done the same, and the furniture
and appendage* ; and relative to the wood
to be supplied by the inhabitants ; aud to
compel obedience by denying the privile
ges of the school to the children of those
who refuse a compliance with such rule*.
They also have power to lay taxe* for the
above purposes, and to appoiut a collector
to collect such taxes as may be laid hy
them; and their collector has the same
power to levy and collect such taxes by
warrant from a justice of the peace, as col
lectors of town taxe* have by law ; and is
responsible in the same manner for neglect.
Whenever a district shall agree to build
a school house the place where it shall be
erected, union the inhabitants of the die-
Irict unanimously agree, an the place, is
fixed by a committee appointed by tbe
school society for that purpose ; and all
meeting* of the school district* are to be
called by tbe committee thereof appointed
by the school society, who are to give three
days warniog, inclusively, to all the qualifi
[ ed voters living within the limits of the dis
diet to meet at some convenient time aod
place within tbe district.
Ech school society is to appoint a suit
able number of person* not exceeding nine,
of competent skill in letters, to be overseers
or visitors of the school* in such society,
whose duty it is to examine the instructor*,
and to displace such r may be found defi
cient in any requisite qualification, or who
will not conform to the regulations by them
, adopted. To snperintend and direct tbe.
j general instruction of the scholars, and to
j vi*it the schools twic e at least during each
seaon for schooling, at which visitations
two or more of them shall be present, wherf
they nny require from the master **>ch ex
erci*es of the youth as will show their pro
ficiency in learning.
No person can keep a district school un
til he ha* been examined and approved by
the visitors of the school society to which
the district belong* ; and shall receive a
certificate of snch examination and appro-
bation subscribed by the visitor*, or a ma
jority of tham, or by a committee consisting
of not le* than three of their number up
| pointed by a majority of the visitor*.
Any school society may, by a vote of two
| third* of the inhabitant* presenl, in a legal
meeting warned for that purpose, continue
a school cfa higher order for the common
benefit of tbe society, to instruct Ihe youth
in English Grammar, composition, geogra
phy, and the learned languages. No pu
pil is to be admitted to this school of a high
er order till he ha* passed through the or
Hinary course of instruction in the common
schools, and has arrived to such maturity
of years and understanding as to be capable
of pursuing the higher branches of learning
in such school. And the visitor* of the
schools in each school society, or a majori
ty of them, are to admit such number of pu
pils to the school of a higher order as can
conveniently he instructed in it, and in such
course a will give to all an equal opportu
nity ; and the school money is to be appnr
1 oned according to the number of scholars
between the ages of lour and sixteen, that
attend the school of a higher order from
any district, and those that attend the com
mon school in the same district.
A sum equal to two dollars on every
thousand of the amount of the assessment
lists of the year proceeding, is appropriated j
out of the monies arising from the state tax.!
to be applied for the use and benefit ofj
common schools, to be drawn from the j
treasury under the direction of the comp-j
roller, at the same lime aud in the same
manner a* the interest arising from the
school fund. The state tax i* commonly
one cent on the dollar of the assessment
list. This two dollar* on the thousand
amounts therefore to twenty per cent, of
ihe state lax The state now has a school
tund arising from the sale of their western
•and*, the interest of which is appropriated
for the support of common schools, and the
law now provides that when io any one
year the amount of interest arising from the
school food, exceeds sixty-two thousand
dollars, the amount of such excess shall for
that year so far diminish the sum appropri
ated from the avail* of Ihe state tax. This
excess has been such for a few years past
as entirely to relieve the state tax from any
charge for the support of common schools.
The interest arising from the school
fund after deducting the expenses attending
the same, is distributed to the school socie
ties severally according to the number of
persons in such society, between the ages
of fonr and sixteen.
The committee of each school district is
required in the month of Aognst, annually,
to enumerate all persons residing and be
longing withio such district, on the fim
Monday us that month, between the ages of
four and sixteen, and within the month
make return thereof together with the
oatne of each person to the committee of
the school society, notified in writing and
sworn to before a magistrate. The com
mittee of the school society from the cer
tificates so returned to them, are to certify
under oath to the comptroller of publick ac
counts, on or before the 15th of September
annually, the number of persons between
the age* of four and sixteen, that on the
first day of August in that year were resid
ing within that society and belonging there
to; and that from the best information thev
have obtained they believe Ihe returns
made to them are correct. The lists and
returns made to the school society commit
tee, by the school district committee, are
to be lodged with ibe treasurer of the soci
ety to be by him preserved for (he usa of
the society.
The comptroller of publick accounts on
the application of the committee of any !
school society, is to draw an order on the !
treasurer for such proportion as snch *cboo!j
society may be entitled to, of the monies!
appropriated for the support of common!
schools, as may be in the hands of the treas- j
ureron the first days of March and October l
annually—and each school society is to di- (
vide the same among the several districts ■
therein, on the principles above stated, ac
cording to the returns which have been
made to them. Bat no order is to be drawn
io favour of any society, nor is the treasu- j
rer to pay any money, until the committee
of the society shall certify fb the comptrol
ler of publick accouols, that the schools in
that society, have been kept, for the year
ending on the 30th of September precediog,
by iostructers duly appointed and approved, I
and in all respects according to law, and ‘ <
that all monies drawn from the publick } s
treasury by (bat society for that year •P* ‘
propriated to schooling, have been faithful-I 1
1y applied and expended in paying and
boarding och in*trocter*.
All the money provided for the u-e of
school* received by the eocietf committee
is to be paid over to the treasurer of (be
society, who is to stand charged with and ac
count for the same; and the society com
mittee are to receive, examioe and liquidate
the accoo.its of the districts within tbeir *o
ciety; and where the district* have kept
their schools according to law, are to draw
orders on the, society treasurer for their
proportion of the ichont money.
Whenever the expense of keeping a
school, exceed* the amount of the pnblick
money appropriated for that object, the
committee of the district, with such per
*nn* as the district may appoint for that
purpose, at a meeting legally warned for
that purpose, are coostilnled board to ex
j amine the bills, and apportion Iho deficient
cy according to the number of days each
! person has sent a scholar to the school;
but if this cannot be ascertained, then ac
cording to the number of scholar*. Aod
Any justice of the peace living in the town
where ruch school has been kept, may
grant a warrant directed to the collector of
school taxes within the district for the col
lection of the *iime.
If any coinmiite-e makp a fiilse certifi
cate, by which money is fraudulently drawn
from the treasury of tbe -tfate, each person
*ignmg such false certificate, is subjected
ton forfeiture of sixty dollars, and is
made the duty of the comptroller to bnog
suit for the same.
GEORGIA RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCI

Report of the Managers of the Georgia Relig
ious Tract Society —Dec. 1821.
From the *hort period that ha* elapsed
since the organization of our Society ju its
present form, and that too “at a season oT
the year unfavourable to active operation*,’
little comparatively could be expected in
oor fir*t report. We have reann to be
thankful, however, that under all the cir,
cmnstances, we have been able to do some
thing in the caose of our Redeemer, with
out interfering w ith tbe claim* of other be
nevolent institutions.
• It was Dot thought advisatde, after our
; present organization, to make any general
■j attempt in the way of collections. The
j annual meeting being but seven months
j off, and (he Season *o far advanced, it wag
.'conceived by the Board, that by delaying
any considerable effort till the officers of
the ensuing yenr were elected,more would
be accomplished io the course of a twelve
month, than by any immediate call on the
publick. The receipts qt lh treasury
have of course been limited. It nnopars
that $l7O 45 have been received, &SIB3
56 paid unt, including what was paid over
by the Treasurer of the Augusta Bible So.
ciety ; leaving a balance of 13 dollars and
11 cents due the Treasurer.
Since onr commencement we have re
ceived 72318 pages of tracts. Os these
21068 were handed over from the Auxilia
ry Bible Society, 50(100 pages have been
ordered from New York, and 1250 pages
procured from Charleston. Thirty six
thousand one hundred and seventy eight,
pages have been distributed and soid, leav
ing 36140 pages on hand. We have also
disposed of 21 gross of the Christian Xlina
nack, printed at Chnrleston. The board beg
leave to remark, in passing, that Ibis la-t
publication promises to be a valuable sddi.
tiou lo the means ofChristian improve men*.
It is in a form which meets every.eve, and
containing valuable information impotent
to all classes, on other subjects, it is sotSlt
for by maoy who perhaps never voluntarily
peruse any other tract. How much good
may be almost unconsciously done by Ihu*
combining religions instruction with infor
mation on every day’s business, we cannot
posMbly calculate. We now distribute a
large part of the Charleston edition of this
Almanack, eno the heard is not without
hopes (hat during another year one may he
prepared, particularly adapted to our own
stale, and published od our own account.
The great multiplication, during late
yer?,of religious pnblicationsand the forms
in which they are presented, afford cheer
ing encouragement to the piobs heart, in
the mighty cause we all profess to love. —
The signs of the times tell u* that the pe
riod is drawing near when “ Holiness tofba
Lord shall be written on the bells of me
horses”—when all human employments
shall be consecrated to the service of our
God and Saviour, and all human efforts di
rected lo promote his glory. The work
will assuredly be done, for it is the Lord’s
aod he has promised to accomplish it for
; hi* own name’s sake, (i is our high pytv
| ilegp humbly to co-opprate in so glorious a
; work; to lend our feeble aid to tbe cause of
;our Redeemer; and in his strenglh, and
: trusting only lo hi* grace lo “ come up to
the help of the Lord against Ihe mighty.”—
Homan exertion* are less than nothing and
vanity, without his blessing. Bnt it pleases
him to work by means, and if we are tuada
these means, the glory is not our owd, tbe
, thanks are not due to us. It is be only,
that woiketb in us to will and to do, accor
