m* IMWAII,
MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, JAN. 17, 1825.
AN ABSTRACT
Os the Fifth Annual Report of the Board of Man
agert of the Missionary Society of the Synod of
South Carolina and Georgia.
It will be remembered that the Missiona
ry Station at Monroe, in the Chickasaw Na
tion, was established by this Board, and has
been entirely under its management. In
the lat Report, it wag observed that this
Station had then assumed “ the posture of 1
-a permanent establishment.” In the Re
port of the present year, the Board has no
reason to regret that statement.
The Chickasaw Indians still continue to
manifest an eagerness for the instruction of
their children, and assist the teachers in
promoting the obedience of their children
to the rules and regulations of the school.
No very sensible advancement in civiliza
tion is observable in the Tribe—yet as
much has been accomplished, for the time,
as was anticipated by the friends of the es
tablishment. They begin to feel sensibly
the value of instruction, and arp peculiarly
that their children should reap iis
benefits.
It should be recollected that the Chicks
saws a well as their neighbouring nations,
are not as some have supposed, a secluded,
insulated people. A white population, bor
dering on or residing in their country, bn
given to many of them a mingled character ,
and tainted them with vices unknown to the
distant interior. The example which has
. thus been set has been adverse to the moral
Christian improvement of the tribe,
and forms the basis of many of those diffi
colties which missionaries have had to en
counter.
The inhabitants of the country in the vi
cinity of the Station, are principally white
men and mixed blood Indiana, who possess
considerable property. The latter have
decent and comfortable dwellings, and some
of them large farms. The lower class of
unmixed blood have greatly improved with
in a few years. Many of their savage cus
toms are laid aside. Morders are exceed
ingly rare, hut the law of retaliation Millex
ists. Most of them have permanent homes,
and raise a plentiful supply of provisions.
This, however, is not applicable to the tribe
at large—a considerable proportion of
which has made no otheT approach to im
-provemeot, than in those vices which they
.have borrowed from the whites.
Since the last report of the Board, the
census hiss been taken, by which it appear ß
that (he number of the Nation is 4115; —
Bio of which are children under five years.
The school continues in successful opera
tion. T-he most enlightened of the natives
look to it as the prop on which the future
existence of the nation must rest. Under
this conviction, they have adopted an effi
cient measure for the speedy improvement
of the tribes, by making’an appropriation
themselves for the support of schools. A
negotiation is now pending on this subject,
which, if successfully terminated, will ena
ble the Board to enter into an efficient and
extensive scheme of operation.
The number of scholars is 56. They
are described as obedient, niTectionale and
kind, and their improvement is equal to the
expectations of their teachers. Building
have heeu erected for a local school in the
neighbourhood of the Station, which will
receive from twenty to thirty pupils, to be
under the direction of the Rev. Hugh Wil
son. One of the Indian Chiefs has mi de at)
earnest application for a second local school
50 miles from the Station. The want ol
funds and missionaries will render it im
practicable for the present, to comply with
Ihe request. Adjoining the one now estab
fished, live acres of ground have been dent
ed and cultivated, a garden prepared, aud
225 bushels of corn obtained from the little
plantation, including a small field which
was offered forlhe season. It was logo in
operation in December. At the main S;a
tion, considerable improvement has been
made. The farm is increased to 50 acres,
and has yielded the last year 1200 bushels
ipf corn, and 500 bushels of polatoes. Sev
eral additional buildings have been erected
and finished.
Although the religious advancement of
the natives has not been as great * could
have been desired, yet the labours of the
missionaries have not been altogether io
vain. Two natives who give evidence of
piety, were expected to unite with them at
their next communion. May these first
fruits of their labours among the heathen be
the beginning of a plentiful harvest. Mi
Stuart observes, “We feel that we have
pinch, very much to encourage us in our
eels-denying work. The progress of our
Childr’.n io literature and civilization, the
evident reformation of many within our in
fluence, the desire of all to hear the word
of God, find the saving effect produced in
several instances, are the leading circumstances
on which we build our hopes of future success. 11
Mr. James Holmes, a gentleman whose zeal,
prudence and piety are mentioned in the highest
terms, is engaged as an assistant, and has joined
the family. Further assistance of one or two ad
ditional teachers, and a practical farmer, is greatly
needed. All possible inquiry baa been made, but
without success.
The expenditure of the past year has exceeded
that of any previous year. But to account for
this, the improvement of the farm, the erection of
additional buildings at the Station and at the local
school, and the necessity of hiring labourers,
must be taken into consideration. Notwithstan
ding these heavy expenses, the Board state with
regret that the receipts for the past year have fal
len far short of any one previous. This unhappy
defalcation, they say, has tramelled their efforts.
An appeal is made to the friends of Zion; —for
the treasury is completely exhausted. The mis
sion family have suffered privations, and still con
tinue to suffer them.
The Board close this part of their report
with a tender of thanks to several benevolent indi
viduals in North Carolina, Ohio, Kentucky and
Tennessee, for the aid which they have afforded
them.
On the subject of Domestick Missions, they ob
serve that “ but little has been accomplished dur
ing the past year. 11 But one Missionary, Kev.
John McKinney, has been in their employ, and
his labours have been confined to the upper part
of this State.
We did not intend to have noticed the coarse
and ungentlemanly, though perfectly characteris
hek allusion made to us by “ R. Flournoy sen. &z
It. Flournoy ir.” in their reply to the Present
ments of the late Grand Jury of this county. But
as a part of our obsei rations relative to those Pre
sentments appears to have been misunderstood,
we will offer a single remark by way of explana
tion. We did not use the term u villain 11 as ap
plicable to the persons presented, and it was a
tortuous construction of our language so to un
derstand us. We said, “If the conduct of oue
villain can prove a whole community to be base,
then what part of the world is pure ?” The sen
tence was merely introduced to illustrate our idea
that because a single individual had been guilty
of excessive cruelty to his slaves, it was unjust to
tax a whole community with the exercise of like
barbarity. Such was our meaning, and so we
ought to have been understood. The “ appro
brious name of villain 11 in this case was taken , not
given.
Though we do not happen to be a “ Metho
dist Preacher,” we have yet to learn that it is a
matter of reproach to belong to an order respecta
ble for piety, talents and numbers. Such a dis
covery could only have been made by the senior
Mr. Flournoy, to whom, we believe, preachers of
every denomination, who are treat enough to talk
of future punishments, are particularly obnoxious.
It is a matter of little consequence whether we
have or have not forgotten the tune of “ Yankee
Doodle I ' —it is sufficient if the enemies of our
common country still holil it in “ sorrowful re
inejnbrnnce, ll
Wealth usually, though not always justly, car
ries with it influence and respect ; and when it
fails to do so, the natural conclusion is. that its
possessors have forfeited all claim to either. The
vituperations of the elder Mr. Flournoy can only
excite the pity of those whose philanthropy
would lead them to wish him a different man, and
the contempt of others who neither desire nor ex
pect a reformation.
Messrs. Editors , —l thank you for the publica
tion you have given the Rev. Mr. Daniel's ap
pointments. But as he has uot come on I wish
you to discontinue them, as it is not probable he
will fill (he balance. Some unforeseen accident,
no doubt, has prevented. 1 have long known
him as a very persevering preacher. E. B.
Powellon, Jan. 13.
Anecdote of Gen. La Fage/tc. —The following
little incident is related on the authority of a res
pectable paper as having lately occurred at the
city of Washington. It admirably exemplifies
that genuine modesty and liberality of sentiment
which always distinguish the truly great :—A
member of Congress was attempting to apologize
to the Gen. for the nnexpected opposition which
the bill in his behalf encountered in Congress,
when the illustrious patriot immediately interrupt
ed him by saying, “ that he was one of the oppo
sition—that the gift was so munificent, 60 far ex
ceeded the services of the individual, that had he
been a member of Congress be must have voted
against it.”
T wenty-six members of the House voted against
the bill— twelve of whom were (rom Ohio. We
rejoice that only six negatives were given from
the “ Old Thirteen”—N. Hampshire 2, Con
necticut 1, Virginia 1, S. Carolina 2.
Reply of Gen. La Fayette to the Committee of
Congress , appointed to communicate to him the
Act compensating him for services rendered du
ring the Revolution.
Washington, Jan. 1, 1825.
Gentlemen of the Committee of both houses of
Congress—The immense and unexpected gilt,
which, in addition to former and conside
rable bounties, it has pleased Congress to confer
upon me, calls for the warmest acknowledge
ments of an old American soldier, and adopted
citizen of the United States—two titles dearer to
my heart than all the treasures of the world.
However proud I am of every sort of obligation
received from the people of the United States Si
their representatives in Cougress, the large extent
of this benefaction might have created in my
mind feelings of hesitation, not inconsistent, I
hope, with those of the most grateful reverence.
But the so very kind resolution of both Houses,
delivered by you, gentlemen, in terms of equal
kindness, precludes all other sentiments hut those
of the lively and profound gratitude of which, in
respectfully accepting the munificent favour, I
have the honour to beg you will be the organ.
Permit me, also, gentlemen, to join a tender of
my affectionate personal thanks to the expression
of the highest respect, with which I have the hon
our to be,
Yonr obedient servant,
LAFAYETTE.
[The Bill, it will be recollected, authorizes the
ecretary o/tbjt Treasury to pay to Gen. La
Fayette the sum of Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars; and appropriates to him and his heirs an :
entire township of land, to be located under the
authority of the President.]
CONGRESS.
A Bill for the relief of the Niagara sufferers du- :
ring the late war, has given rise to consideiable 1
debate in the House. It is advocated by Messrs-1
T racy and Crambreling of N. York, and opposed
by Messrs. Williams of N. Carolina and Barbour
of Virginia. The subject of the Militia Claims of!
Georgia has also been introduced. Mr. Thomp-!
son addressed the House at some length, and ably J
vindicated the justness of these olaims, and the |
consequent liability of the United States to ac-!
knowledge them. Their further consideration !
was postponed, to allow the debate on the Niag
ara bill, which had previously commenced, to be
renewed. An amendment to the Judiciary sys
tem, and a bill to abolish imprisonment for debt,
are also Under consideration.
On the 28th ult. the President transmitted to
the House, a letter from Com. Porter, relative to
his late hostile visit to the town of Faxyardo, in
the island of Porto Rico, The high importance
of the transaction has induced Ihe President to
order the immediate return of Com. Porter, that
all the circumstances connected with it may be
fully investigated. The following letter from
Com. Porter to the Secretary of the Navy, is the
only official information on the subject in the pos
session of the Executive.
U. S. Ship John Adams,
Passage Island , November 15, 1824.
Sir: I have the honour to inform you that, on
my arrival at St. Thomas, I was informed that
Lieut Commandant Platt, of the United States’
schooner Beagle, who had visited Faxyardo, a
town on the east coast of Porto Rico, about two
miles from the sea, for the purpose of making in
quiries respecting a quantity of dry goods, suppo
sed to have been deposited there by pirate", was,
after being recognized as an American officer, by
the proper authorities there, imprisoned and
shamefully treated.
Indiirnant at the outrages which have been so
repeatedly heaped on us by the authorities of Por
to Rico, I proceeded to this place, where 1 left
the ship, and taking with me the schooners Gram
pus and Beagle, and the boats of the John Ailam,
with Capt. Dallas, and part of his officers, sea
men, and marines, proceeded to the port of Faxy
ardo, where, finding preparations were making
to fire on us from the battery on shore, I sent a
par'y ol seamen and marines to spike Ihe guns,
which wa done in a few minutes, as the Span
iards fled on the landing of the party. I then
landed with two hundred men, and marched to
the town, spiking on the way the guns of a
small battery placed for the defence of a pass on
the road, and reached the town in about thirty
minutes after landing. 1 found them prepared for
defence, as they had received information from
St. Thomas's of my intentions of visiting the
place. [ halted about pistol shot from their
fortes, drawn upon the outskirts of (he town, and
sent in a flag requiring the Alcalde, or Governour,
with the Captain of the Port, the principal offen
ders, to come to me to make atonement for the
outrage, giving (hem one hour *o deliberate. They
appeared accordingly, and after begging pardon
(in the presence of all the officers) of the officer
who had been insulted, and expressing great pen
itence, I permitted them to return to the town,
on their promising to respect all American officers
who may visit them hereafter. We then returned
to the vessels, and left the harbour, after being
at anchor three hours.
As we were getting under way, a number of
persons appeared on the bead) bearing a white
flag, and having with them some bullocks, and a
number of horses apparently laden, no doubt a
present from the authorities of the place, which
they informed me they should send me.
There is no doubt our persons and our flag will
he more respected hereafter than it has been, by
the authorities of Porto Rico.
Every officer and man, o.i this occasion, con
ducted themselves in a manner to meet my entire
approbation.
1 have tlie honour to be, very respectfully,
your most obedient servant,
D. PORTER.

[English dates to the 26th Nov.]
COTTON MARKET.
A Liverpool paper of the 26th Nov. states, that
the sates of (he preceding week amounted to 26,-
556 bale.s, which is said to be nearly the largest
quantity ever disposed of in one week. The de
mand was regular and extensive, and the improve
ment is attributed to the shipments of manufac
tured goods which are making to the new States
ofS. America.
Great exertions have been made in England to
sve the life of Mr. Fauntleroy, who has been
convicted of extensive forgeries, but the Privy
Council determined that he should be executed
on the 30th Nov. Hjs case was one of universal
interest.
A dreadful fire has occurred in Edinburgh,
which left 400 families houseless.
The Rev. Mr. Maturin, well kfiown to the lite
rary world, died lately in Ireland.
Mr. V. Fitzgerald has been appointed Minister
plenipotentiary to the U. States.
Algiers has declared war against Spain, aDd the
Spanish commerce is much harrassed in conse
quence.
The news from Greece is of the most cheering
character. The success of victories which imme
diately preceded the abandonment of the naval
operations of the Turks for the season, were more
brilliant and decisive than we had supposed, as
appear from the Constantinople accounts them
selves. The Ottoman ministry had circulated ac
counts of several advantages said to be obtained
by the Captain Pacha, but they were suddenly
succeeded by the most disastrous news.
It was said that a great officer of the Seraglio
had been beheaded ; and the disgrace of the Grand
Vizier generally believed.
It is reported that a Greek fleet has blockaded
the mouth of the Dardanelles, and cut off the sup
plies of corn from the Turkish capital—the city
was in a state of confusion and terror.
The naval campaign on the part of the Turks
has closed in their complete discomfiture and dis
grace. On the land, their defeats, though not as
signal, have been severe and nearly decisive.—
It is not now believed that they can possibly suc
ceed in reducing Greece, and the Ottoman pow
er in Europe is said to be shaken to its base.
Accounts from Peru communicate disastrous
intelligence relative to the war in that quarter.—
The Patriot force under •(Jen. Bolivar, after a tan-
guinary conflict, were entirely routed by the roy
alists near Truxillo on the 16th Sept. Bolivar lias
retreated to Guayaquil to re-enforce and re-or
ganize his army, and Canterac has entered Col
umbia.
Emigration. —The Frieods in North Carolina,
at their yearly meeting, came to the determina
tion to send all the coloured persons under their
care to the Haytien Republick. They are in all
about 700, being persons whose unconditional
emancipation is not permitted by the laws of N.
Carolina, and who have for many years been
held in trust by the Society.
Perkins’ Extraordinary Steam-gun.—The Lon
don Mechanicks 1 Register contains an interesting
account of this murderous engine, which was ex
hibited at Mr. Perkins 1 works, Regent’s Park, on
the 3d inst. This piece of mechanism is formed
by simply introducing a barrel into the steam
generator of any engine, and by the addition of
two pipes towards the chamber of the gun, intro
ducing a quantity of bulls, which, by the action of
a handle to the chamber, are dropped into the
barrel, and fired one by one, at the rate of from
4to 500 in a minute. The explosive force of the
steam, which rushes from the generator and expels
the halls, is about seven hundred pounds to the
square inch; with this force, a musket ball fired
against an iron plate, at the distance of one hun
dred feet from the gun, is completely flattened,
and when a force ol 8401bs. to the square inch is
applied, the ball is actually driven to pieces in
such a way, that none of its fragments can be col
lected. Mr. Perkins is about to construct a four
pound field piece on this principle, which nmy be
drawn by two horses. The most extraordinary
part of the affair is, that one pound of coals is
found to produce the same effect as four pounds
ot gunpowder in the ordinary.
Destruction of the Macon Branch Bank. —On
this subject we have been favoured with the fol
lowing letter:
Extract of a letter from F.. S. Rees, Esq. Cash
ier of the Darien Bank.—“ We have just heen in
formed that our branch at Macon was destroyed
by fire on the night of the 26th December, and
least some misrepresentations may be made in
Savannah, I will stale the loss which may have
taken place to the extent, viz. $13,651 57 in
funds, and nearly all must have been of the bills
of this bank.” [Sar. Georgian.
Montrose, (Penn.) Dec. 17.
Caution to Hunters and Sabbath breakers.—
Two small parties were hunting, on the Sunday
before last, in the neighbourhood of Bainbridge,
N. Y. Hiram Cornwall, a young man, aged
eighteen, in company with his brother, and a Mr.
Beardsley, having dressed a deer, spread the skin
on his shouldprs, will) the hair outwards—on his
way home while his comrades were cautioning
him of his danger, a gun was discharged, Corn
wall staggered, exclaiming, O dear! His com
rades supported him in their aims, and he died
instantly Philly and Corhan, f the other party,
glancing at him while passing through the under
brush, took him lor a deer, aud Philly discharged
his rifle, the ball passing through the heart of
Cornwall.
Holy Alliance. —Another Congress of the Holy
Alliance is talked of, pnd is to be held at St. Pe
tersburgh. Their object is said to he the consid
eration of the afl'airs of Greece, Spain, and South
America.
Napoleon's House at St. Helena. —A corres
pondent, who subscribes “ A bailor,” has favour
ed us with a letter, in which he informs us that he
has recently arrived in this country, from St.
Helena; that the house in which the ex-Empe
rour of France was imprisoned Las been convert
ed into a barn ; and that in the room where he
breathed his last, there is now a machine for
thrashing corn. [Liverpool Mercury.
A Town under the hammer. —W. perceive in
the Hamburgh paper, by an advertisement, that
E. B. Belcher, Sheriff of Edgefield District, will
