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. Hon. Sam 1 i, L. Southard, Sec'y of the Nary % Washington. FOREIGN. [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.
