I bad only found two who were listening
with any attention to the speaker.
“I bad by this time ample proof of the
powers of the telescope ; and discontinuing
my observations, I began to reflect on the
advantages I enjoyed, by having such a val
ttable instrument in my possession ; and
justly concluded that no person could de
ceive me. But after pleasing myself for
awhile with these reflections, I found my
*elf possessed with a desire to examine the
parson himself, and see if he spoke the lan
guage of the heart. But finding I could
not satisfy my cnriosity in the place I then
stood, I resolved to alter my position But
iu my endeavour to step from a small emi
nence on which I stood, I gave such a nod

accordingly did.
| A call was presented from the congregation of
vFairview, Gwinr.et County, to the Rev. John S.
Wilson, to become their pastor, and through the
Presbytery it was handed to Mr. Wilson, and ac
cepted by him.
The Rev. Joseph Y. Alexander presented a
dismission from the Presbytery of South Carolina
to unite with this Presbytery, was received as a
member, and took his seat accordingly.
Mr. Joseph C. Stiles and Mr. Wm. H. Wil
liams, Mr. Ephraim S. Hopping, and Mr. Jame
C. Patterson, severally requested to be taken
under the care of Presbytery, and having produ
ced satisfactory testimonials of their good moral
character, and of their regular church member
ship. they were examined on their experimental
acquaintance with religion, and the motives which
influenced them to desire the sacred office. Their
examination proved satisfactory to the Presbyte
ry. and they were received’tinder its care as can
didates forthe ministry.
Mr. Williams was directed to prepare an Exp
gtsis on Jin ficdus Abrahami sit fains gratia ? [
and a critical exercise on Romans v. 12. All the I
four candidates were examined in the languages
•and their examination was sustained.

to the form -prescribed by the hook of discipline.
Drs. Brown and Waddel and Mr. Moderwel
were appointed a committee to examine into the
expediency of establishing a Doinestiok Missiona
ry Society. • This committee reported “ that in
their’ opinion the establishment of such a society
is both expedient and practicable, and take the
liberty to suggest the propriety of appointing a
committee to draft a constitution and make the
necessary arrangements for the organization of
such a society.” This report was accepted, and
Drs. Brown and Waddel, and Messrs. Moderwel,
Church, and Gildersleeve, were appointed the
committee, and directed to report before the ri
sing of the Presbytery. A
The-following extract from the Minutes will
doubtless be interesting to many in the Presbyte.
rati connexion:
‘-Whereas the members of the Church within
tire bounds of the Presbytery are few and scatter
ed over a Comparatively latge surface of country,
and whereas great advantage has arisen from
meeting together and holding Christian commu
nion with each other in the enjoyment of Gospel
ordinances, it is therefore Rtsolved , That this
Presbytery recommend to the brethren and chur
ches under their care to meet together in at large
numbers as may be convenient, al least once a
year, and cn sacramental occasions, and that our
ancient custom of fasting, humiliation and prayer
on such occasions, be revived as far as may be
found expedient.”
Each member of the Presbytery was required
to furnish to tire stated Clerk a written statement
of the number and names of the Churches under
their care, number of communicants, baptisms, i
and members admitted since the last April Ses-.
sions, before they left the place, or transmit a ’
written statement of the same to him at Athens, 1
pot! paid , previous to the 20th of the present *■
month ; —and each session of the church was re
quired to send to Presbytery at its anDiial Spring
Sessions, a written congregational report, togeth
er with its Book of Records.
■ Verbal petitions were presented to Presbytery
from sundry places, praying for supplies, which
the Presbytery took under consideration, and
made provision for them as far as they were able
—Mr. Webster to supply South Liberty congre-;
gallon, ou W illiams’ Creek, one Sabbath, and
Or. Brown and Mr. Gildersleeve two Sabbaths
each. I

A blank letter, post-marked, (not post-paid) at
Savannah, April 6, enclosing a piece of an old
newspaper, came to band by the last mail. The
very benevolent individual who furnished us with
this morsel, is certainly entitled to the gratitnde
of tlie Pagan portion of the Seueca tribe, who
have petitioned the Legislature of New York
against Missionaries, because there is a wonder
ow fellow feeling between them. The article on
the paper is headed “ Indian Petition,” which
our readers will recollect to have seen a few weeks
since. If we are not mistaken in the character of
our antique correspondent , he has so much primi
tiveness or savageness about him, that he would
prefer the society of the drunken Red Jacktt to a
preacher of the Gospel We would advise him
to disguise his hand still more, or pay the postage
of his communications tons, or—we may take the
liberty to “ present ” him a little more conspicu
ously to the publick eye.

pool dates to the 24th February. No political’
information of particular iaterest is comiuunica- i
ted. The bill to suppress the Catholick Associa- I

COTTON MARKET.
“L ; Liverpool, Feb. S3, t
We experienced a most animated demand for
Cotton, during the whole of last week at Steadily
advancing prices, and the extent of business
transacted, has seldom been equalled during the
same period.
A private letter of the same date, received at
Savannah,states that during the ten days previous,
50,000 bags were sold. Good Boweds were quo- j
ted at ltd a 13d—Sea Islands 22d a 2s. t>d.
On the receipt of this information, expresses!
were immediately sent tp N. Orleans and Mobile. ,
A letter from Aogustaofthe 7th iust. informs j
that prime lots will command from 22 to 24 cents j

Macon, April 6.
Pick Pockets.— According to the usages of this
fraternity, from time immemorial, of honoring all
great occasions with their presence, they have not
been unmindful of the progress of Gen. Lafayette
through this country. Several depredations were
committed in Charleston, Savannah, and Augus
ta, hy them; but as far as we have, heard, they
were generally upon the indiscreet fashionables,
who carry large pocket-books, in a manner calcu
lated to inspire belief that they are men of busi
ness. These, although swelled to an enormous’
thickness, contained little else than dunning let
ters, love letters, unreceipted tailors’ bills, &o.
without any money to discharge them.
One of them who happened to get a haul of
Hamburg hills, was beard, unconsciously, to ex
claim, upon examining his prize, that he could
not take such money, except at a large dis
count!
In Milledgeville, however, they were more suc
cessful, and obtained four thousand five hundred
dollars, from the pocket of Major James Smith,
of Clinton. Suspicions being entertained of two
persons travelling on the road to Alabama, they
were pursued, overtaken, and arrested in the In
dian nation, beyond the limits of Georgia. On
Monday they were brought through this place, on
theii way back to Milledgeville. We understand
that oneol them made a partial confession of liis
guilt —About 890 dollars was found on him, and
300 ou the other. Both were Frenchmen, gen
teelly dressed, and well mounted. They passed
turmigh this place, one pist before Gen. Lafay
ette, and the other a few hours behind—when
arrested, they were ahead of lum; although not
together, they had exchanged horses.—They ap
peared to be attending the progress of the Gen
eral, to take advantage ot any circumstances
that might offer of committing depredations in
the crowds assembled in the large towns on his
way.
GENERAL ORDERS.
U. S. Ship North Carolina, )
, of/ Cape Henry, Jan. 12, 1825. $
Sir —The dissensions and bickerings which
have unfortunately existed in the Navy, and par
ticularly among the junior officers, for several
years past, originating, as it is supposed, in the
predominance of habits which have insidiously
crept into the service, hy ihe most improper and
unjustifiable relaxation of discipline, seem at
length to require particular notice.
Pile prevalence and frequency of fighting and
quarrelling among some of the younger officers,
and Ihe detestable practice by them and others
of fighting duels, defaming each other, and assum
ing to themselves Ihe right of making the conduct
of their equals and superiours topicks of conver
sation and indecorous animadversion, at tavern
tables, in stage coaches, steam boats and other
puhlick places, have been carried to such an ex
lent for some time past, as to require a resort to
measures the best calculated to produce immedi
ate reform, and to save the character of the ser
wce, as ivell as their own from impending ruin Si
disgrace.
f have, in consequence, to require all officers
who are now, or shall hereafter be, placed under
my command, to respect and obey them.-eives,
e!id to use the utmost vigilance and attention in
enforcing in others, their subordinates, due res
pect and obedience to the laws and regulations
.uude and provided for tin government and con
duct of all officers belonging to the navy of the
U. States. As lam determined from this date
not to permit the slightest violations of such laws
and regulations with which 1 nlay become ac
quainted, to pass unnoticed.
Should disputes unfortunately happen between
the officers of this or any other ship in the squad
ron which I have been appointed to command,
they are not on any account to assume to them
selves the right of settling snch disputes, in any
other m-anner than by an appeal to the captain of
the ship to which they belong, or to myself, if ne
cesary. And I would have it further to be un
derstood, that for a violation of this order, by any
officer, I shall not fail to put the laws in force
ogamst him to their utmost extent.

ranean, and Coui’g- Officer of (he U. S.
Navy.
Charles W. Morgan, Esq.
Capt. of the U. S. ship North Carolina.
The General Order of Commodore Rodgers,
will, we have no doubt, have a salutary effect.
Our Navy has suffered much and lost some of its
brightest ornaments, and the country has been
deprived of some of the beet and bravest men in
the service, by a practice that may, without loss
of honour, be entirely dispensed with. If our of
ficers fall in battle, they fall in defence of their
country ; and while we mourn their loss, we tell
of their deeds of valour, and speak proudly of
their honourable death But how is it when they
fall, not in defence of their country —nor by the
hands of an enemy, but in a contest where an
American arm is raised to shed American blood—
where two who have together braved the battle
and the tempest—and who have, side hy side,
and under the same flag, sustained each other in
the hour of danger—when these meet, and one
falls by the hands of the other, what are our feel
ings then l—Nat. Journal.
The culture of Cotton is rapidly increasing iu
the lower parts ofVirginia. It is one of the great
staples of the Petersburg!! market. In some situ
ations well calculated for its cultivation, (he pro
duct is worth S3O an acre. The V'irginia cotton
ranks in some of (he northern markets next to
Georgia Sea Islands. In some counties near the
sea shore,the peculiarity of the Sea Island climate
may possibly he nearly imitated, and the quality
of the article proport ionabty improved.

Accounts from Rome give a remarkable illnstra

KENTUCKY-
The following deplorable picture of the condi
tion of this Sta'e is given by a Mr. Willis, one of
the members of its late Legislature :
“ Our Judges of the Court of Appeals repealed
out of office ; the Constitution of our State trod
den under foot; our treasury robbed and empty ;
capitol burnt down ; convicts in the penitentiary
naked and starving ; Governonr’s son a murder
tr and cut throat ; a deficiency of $40,000 in our
revenue ; a denial of justice by our execution
laws ; a relief Legislature.”
And the party that lately ruled the State is
thus characterized in a spirited address from Mr.
Wickliffe to his constituents ;
” They are (says hey the parly that establish
ed the Independent Banks, and suspended the
laws for the collection of debts ; that annihilated
the credit and wasted the stock of the bank of
Kentucky—that multiplied offices, and divided
them among themselves—the same party that in- i
vited and brought to this State the Branch Banks
of the United States, and after borrowing upwards
of two millions of dollars from them, attempted
to drive them from the state—the same party that
had wasted the revenues of the State, that had
doubled the expenses and taxes of the govern
ment, that had ruined our credit at home and
abroad, that had sunk labour and every man’s
1 estate at least halt in value, that had banished
specie from the country, and introduced in its
stead base, disgusting, depreciated, ragged pa
per currency.”
An affecting event, the result of fraudulent
bankruptcy. — Benjamin Rush, the son of thai dis
tinguished citizen who added to the stock of sci
ence by his labours, and reflected honour upon
his country by his virtues o* well as his genius,
fell a victim to thp arts of a villian, who tricked
him out of about 40,000 dollars, the fruits of some
years of successful enterprise. Unable to throw
off from his rnintl the consciousness of the depen
dence to which he was thus reduced, he came to
the dreadful determination of seeking an end to
his cares in a voluntary gruve Before he dis
charged the fatal pistol, he addressed a sensible
letter as to the disposal of the little property he
possessed, to his friend in New Orleans. He de
clared that his life had become a burden to him,
and that he could no longer sustain it. He was
only about 25 years of age, remarkably beautiful
in his person, very highly accomplished, and of
the most fascinating mariners and conversation.—
But this case, affecting as it is, we cannot com
pare with instances of fathers and mothers advan
ced in life, and they and their children separated
forever, and cast upon the world to seek a preca
rious subsistence, and all this to feed and sustain
in profligacy some bankrupt old knave, who has
neither wife nor child. The cares and anguish in
flicted hy such a villian do not indurate the pil
low of his barren bed. Every day brings to our
knowledge some additional reason for the call we
have made upon our fellow citizens to discrimin
ate between the honest bankrupt and a villian
who transfers the properTy of his creditor to some
congeuial rogue, locks up his accounts, and not
only laughs at the vast ruin he has made,but seeks
an extenuation of his treachery and his shame In
the defamation of his victim. N Y. pap.
Smoking. —“ What harm is there in a pipe ?”
says young Puffwell—“ None, that I know of,”
said his companion. “ except that smoking indu
ces drinking—drinking induces intoxication—in
toxication induces bile—bile induces the jaundice j
—jaundice leads to dropsy—dropsy terminates in
death. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.”
There are five requisites for a professed drunk
ard ; A face of brass, nerves of steel, lungs
leather, heart of (tone, and an incombustible liv

his muscular arm and attempt to enforce and co
erce a preponderation of the timidity and fears of
my client?

C —Did not Mr.— attempt the infliction of
the most violent and outrageous corporeal contu
sion and chastisement?
W. Sir?
C. Did not Mr.— attempt to strike the plain
tiff? ,
W. Yes, sir.
C, From your situation could you not have the 1
most commanding view of she altercation, and .
Was there any thing interfering tntwe*., you and
the objects that could in any wise dim ymr uptSc- >
oJar faculties or create any obtuseness of vision ?

bright view of this most villanous, foul and ran
corous transaction ?
