The unnatural condition of celibacy has
been the bitter fountain whence have flowed
so much calumny and invective against the ;
sex. The dark ngea have given to the 1
world all the great luminaries of Mysoga-’

wonderful examples of sublime genius and
morality, were compelled to ransack their
imaginations to supply reasons for pervert
ed religion and violated hamanity. Passiog
by St. Jerome, who wrote exhortations to
celibacy, wbat shall we say of our modern
wits—Young, Pope and Swift ? That Dr.
Young should have undervalued domestick ‘
as well as all other human pleasure, is not i
surprising. Pope and Swift after having
justly forfeited all confidence to female re
gard by a coorse of duplicity, declared an
unmanly warfare against this fair portion of
the creation. But the shafts of their satire
recoiled with a just vengeance on their own
heads ; for the whole moral force of the age
was arrayed in defence of the female char
acter ; and ten thousand swords would have
‘ittaped from their scabbards fur the presor

MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, APHII, 35.1.135.
A writer in the Savannah Republican, under
the signature of “ Peter Early,” is endeavouring
to prove that the plan of disposing of the publick
domains by Lottery, “is unwise, impolitick and
unjust;” and cHs upon the people to set an
example of self-denial and justice by putting a
final end to a system which sacrifices great publick
benefits to the paltry considerations of a little
private gain.
The late heavy rains, it is apprehended, have
occasioned a very serions injury to the farming
interest in this vicinity. Much of the Cotton pre
viously planted, has perished in the earth, and the
unparalleled scarcity of seed, renders it impossi

ly a large quantity of land prepared for cotton
must be appropriated to com.

Accident. — \ few days ago while a shopkeeper
in Irwintoo was weighing some powder, a spark of
fire was communicated to it from a segur that one
of the compaiiy was smoking. There were about
thirty persons in the house, twenty-one of whom
were injured more or less. At the last accounts
none of them had died, though the lives of two or
three were almost despaired of. Our information
is not positive, but we believe the keg was nearly
full of powder at the time it explode.d.

A Decree of the Court of Appeals in South
Carolina, is given in the Charleston Courier, of
the 16th, in which a decision is made of some im
portance in the administration of criminal law.
“ The point decided,” says the Courier, “ is, that
an endorser of a promissory note, not being a
party to the suit, may be a witness to invalidate
the note—as for instance, to prove that it had
been paid, or that the contract was usurious; and
that the objection lies against the credibility and
not against the competency of the witness.”

TERRIBLE FIRE IN BOSTON.
Rat. ly has this city been visited by so destruc
tive a fire as on the night of Thursday last. It
commenced rather before 11 o’clock in Doane
street, and raged with terrible fury till after the
dawn of Friday morning, the wind blowing fresh
from the north, and all efforts to subdue it sooner
proving ineffectual.—From the cooper’s shop the
flames soon seized on the large four story brick
stores adjacent; and thence, in spite of human ,
efforts, spread, rapidly to State Street on the
North, Broad Street on the East, Kilby on the
■West, and very nearly to Milk-St. on the South;
leaving in all this extent scarcely a building un-’
injured, and but-few not entirely destroyed. The
whole number of stores consumed is between 40
and 50, besides other valuable buildings. The
loss of property we have heard estimated by com- J
peient judges, to be between one and two millions (
of do Half ! ! There was no part of the city,,
where the heavy business centred so much ; ttod,
as usual at of the year, all the stores
were crowded with valuable merchandize, but a
moderate portion of which could be saved. The
’ scene was awfully sublime, and even terrifick.
Few of our citizens probably slept an hour during
the night.
[Recorder Sc Telegraph , April 9.
; The Navy of the United States is growing in an
extent of which we are hardly aware. Fifteen
years ago, the sailing of a Frigate from one of our
ports was quite an epoch, and the subject of con
versation for weeks or months previous. Now, a
74, with a crew all told, of nearly a thousand men,
slips off to sea one week, the next week a frigate,
and the next week another, and scarcely any note
is taken of them, except at the port whence they
’ sail.
Two frigates at ouce are just going, perhaps
gone, to sea from Hampton Roads: the Constel- j
lation, commanded by Capt. M. T. Woolsey,
, bound to Alvarado, where she will land Mr. Poin
■ sett, our Minister to Mexico, with his Secretaries,
i and then join the West India squadron ; and tbe
| John Adams, Capt. Joseph J. Ni- holson, bound
to Chagres, there to land Capt. T. A. C. Jones
and Lieut. W. W. Ramsay, who go out passen
gers, to serve in our Pacifick squadron, after
which that frigate also will join the West India
squadron.— Mat. Int. 14 th inst.

“ The facts respecting Vlr. Webster, are, that
a challenge was sent to him by Mr. Randolph,
through Mr. Benton of the Senate. No further
communication took place till in a short time, the
challenge was withdrawn. Here was no interfe
rence of the friends of the parties, so far at least
as Mr. Webster was concerned. There was no
occasion for it. He, without doubt, regarded
the challenge as having been only prompted by
feelings highly excited and further disordered by
ill health. He was persuaded, that on due reflec
tion, the message would be recalled. The event
proved, that hit opinion was a correct one. The
affair terminated here. Mr. Webster's conduct
was marked by a forbearance and a delicacy,
which won for him here, additional honour and
esteem, and which called forth from Mr. Benton
a particular and unqualified expression of admi
ration.”

The Power of Gunpowder —Tbe art of blasting
rocks, on a large scale, hat been brought to great
perfection by some workmen in the employment
of Messrs. Jordan and Irvine, who are engaged in
constructing the upper section of the canal now
forming on the margin of James river where it
passes through the Blue Ridge. A mass of rocks
was fractured to pieces by one blast, a few days
ago, which, by the dimensions given, must have
weighed 544 tons. The quantity of powder em
ployed was fifty ponnds.—The dimensions of the
rock were 65 feel long, 11 feet deep and 10 feet
broad.
Iron. —The great and sudden rise in the price
of iron, has caused serious inconvenience to the
manufacturers at Birmingham, who have found it
difficult on that account to compete with foreign
manufacturers. Immense orders had been re
ceived from abroad, particularly from America,
at a rate which, from (he high prioe of iron, the
goods could not be supplied; Ministers, were,
therefore, called upon to repeal the tax on iron
imported.— London paper.
Some months since, we endeavoured to impress
our fellow-citizens with the absolute necessity
there was for devoting more talents and attention
to the Iron business in this State, where we have
inexhaustible mines of the best Ore, and count
less mountains, hills and beds of the best Coal.
The rise of price in iron, in Great Britain, assur
ed us that the demand here would be great and
profitable. We, however, are willing to confess,
that we had no idea, that, so very soon.we should
be furnished with such demonstrable evidence of
the value of onr Iron and Coal. There is now in
this Stale ( Pennsylvania) orders for a very large
quantity of Pig Iroh, to be sent from Pennsylva

Brasil.-— lt appears by letters received at Phil

terminating the opponents to the Brazilian impe
rial government goes bravely on. Two of the
patriots were hung about the end of January;
and because the executioner refused to perform
the office on one of them, he was butchered on
the spot by the troops of the Emperour. He was
twice fired at by fourteen of these instruments of
despotism before life became extinct. Three
other patriots have received sentence of death,
and the trials were still going on. These sanguin
ary proceedings had thrown a gloom over the
place, without rendering the imperial authorities
more respected.— M. Y. Evening Post.
THE PRISON DOORS OPEN!
The County Jail in this town, (Portland. Me.)
is now without an occupant. Yesterday morn
ing. the last poor debtor who had pined within its
walls, having answered the demands of the law
hy the number of weary days and sleepless nights
he hud passed there, was restored 9gain to “ the
common air and common use of his own limbs ”
The present jail in this town was erected in 1797 ;
from that time until now, there has never been a
time when it was unoccupied. The last prison
t-r’s legal term of confinement expired on Satur
day night at twelve o’clock, and soon after that
hour had elapsed, the benevolent gentleman who
at present keeps the prison, hastened to the jail,
unlocked the doors, and hade the solitary tenant
go free. Long may it be ere another shall be
doomed to take his place. Imprisonment of an
honest, but unfortunate debtor! It is a barbarous
relick of more barbarous times, which but ill ac
cords with the light and refinement of the present
age. To plunge an innocent man
Into the horrour* of the gloomy jail
Unpitied and unheard, where misery moans ;
Where sickness pines ; where thirst and hunger
burn ,
And poor misfortune feels the lash of vice,”
cannot be defended on any principles of reason or
right. Under the provisions of the law of this
state which went into operation in July last, no
honest debtor can be compelled to go into jail.
He only has to give up all his property which the
law does not allow him to retain, go before a Jus
tice of the Peace, and make oath that he has done
so, and the creditor has no power to imprison his
person. This is as it should be. Not that we
would disregard the rights of the creditor in our
sympathies for the debtor; but we cannot see
what benefit it can be to any one to permit tbe
Jew to take his pound of flesh, when the poor
debtor has no means to cancel his bond. Nor do
we think the creditor, on the whole, will be more
in danger of loss under one system than the other;
for trade and credits will always regulate (hem
selves to the existing laws— Eastern Argus.
Late from India. —Captain Whitney, of the
Beverly, arrived at New York, brought Calcutta
papers to the first of January. Several spirited
engagements had taken place between the British

great loss to the latter, and not without some
considerable loss to the former. Kittoor surren
dered on the 6th December, and the whole coast

in large bodes for tbe purpose of forcing them
from that territory.— Mat. Int. 14th inst.
From the M. York Mat. Advocate , 2 d inst.
On the 31st ult. an old offender was brought to
the police as a confirmed drunkard and vagabond,
one who had been often arrested and permitted
to fun loose, upon promise of amendment. While
his commitment to the penitentiary for four
months was making out, he begged to say a few
words ; and being an intelligent man, he deliver
ed himself in the following manner:
“ May it please your honour, I am an English
man by birth, and have been frequently drunk in
old England, but never punished for it. I was not
in that country as I ant in this, and it arose from
the extravagant price of liqnor. Here, in this
free and happy country, as you call it, I can get
drank for three cents, you have no excise—you
have no tax upon liquors—you sell for three
cents, that which in England, would cost a shil
ling sterling'; you throw temptation in the way of
a poor devil—he yields to the infirmity of his na
ture, and you then lock him up in prison for four
months. lam an honest man, though Ido get
drunk, and the Scripture says, “an honest man
is tbe noblest work of God,” but when those
words were written, America was not discovered,
for you tempt us to sin, and then punish us for
sinning.
You can fly to arm* to preserve your liberties,
you can shed your blood in defence of your
Country, yet you cannot prevent the awful in
crease of drunkard). You want moral courage to
adopt the only and the sure remedy, which is, to
lay a tax upon spirituous liquors so as to place j
them out of the reach of the poor and labouring
classes, who will then be as sober on compulsion
as they are now drunken upon attraction.” So
saying, with a profound bow he walked off in
custody of the officer.
Times have altered. —The following picture of
the 11. States is copied from the London Morning
Herald, of December, 1785. Opinions, since
that time, have undergone some change.
” The state of every thing in Ameiica—politi
cal government, civil order, common neighbour-
[ hood, and daily dealings between man and mad,’
to say nothing of the arts, &c.—is in such deplor
able deficience and depravity, that the friends of
j Dr. Franklin and Gen. Washington imagine those
; distinguished characters will abandon their coun
■ try, and end their days in Europe. The idea of
| Dr. Franklin’s retnrn to Europe is reasonable
’ enough in expectation. A man like him, used
; to all the soothing and indulgent gratifications of
1 learned luxury in London and Paris, can never
I bear to have his old age robbed of its accustomed
; otium, amid the dire and perilous barbarities of
; American ignorance and anarchy. As to Gen.
Washington, his free spiril must be disgusted at
tbe shocking scene, but he has the strong bands
of property to tie him to the soil.”
A Mice Point of Law. —Blackstone, speaking
of tbe right of a wife to a dower, asserts, that if
land abide in the husband for a single moment,
the wife shall be endowed thereof; and he adds
that this doctrine was extended very far by a Ju
ry iu Wales, where the father and son were both
hanged in one cart; but the son was supposed to
have survived the father, by appearing to strug
gle the longest, whereby he became seized of an
estate by survivorship ; in consequence of which
seizen bis widow obtained a verdict for her dower,

At a called session of the Jackson County Aux
iliary Colonization Society, held on the 2d day
of April, 1825. the following preamble apd resolu
tions were offered and unanimously adopted :
V\ hereas it is obvious that the present is an age
olgreat and successful experiment and enterprise,
all having the melioration of the condition of the
human family in view ; and whereas we do believe
that the American Colonization Society may be
justly ranked with the greatest means employed
at Uiis time with a view to the accomplishment of
those events which are indispensable as a prelude
to that happy day (and which cannot be distant)
when violence and oppression shall be driven from
the world, and the “ knowledge of God shall
cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.”
Therefore be it Resolved, That this Society,
impelled by the foregoing considerations and con
victions, and in anticipation of final success, re
new to each other the solemn pledge of fidelity &
perseverance in aiding to the utmost of their
means the great and laudable enterpiize of the
Parent Society.
2. Resolved, that this Society in anticipating
the approaching 4lh of July next, see much to ex
cite their love and gratitude to God, and they
trust in a just proportion their love to their fellow
creatures of every cast: It is therefore recom
mended that, that day be set apart as the Day
that ushers in the first and great American Jubilee ;
and that so fur as the members of this Social)
are concerned, or their influence extends, to loose
the bands of labour on that day—and that a com
mittee consisting of Wm. Pentecost, Hugh Mont
gomety, David Boring, Hosea Camp and Joseph
Hampton* be, and they are hereby appointed and
requested to open a correspondence with such
persons as they may deem most friendly to the in
stitution, with a view to solicit donations in be
half and for the use of the Parent Society, and*to
call their attention to the expediency of forming
Auxiliaries ; and that they also avail themselves
of tbe advantages of that auspicious day, in so
liciting donations for the use of what we do not
scruple to call, one of the greatest enterprises.
3. Resolved, that it is the opinion of this Soci
ety, that the cause in which the American Col.
Society is engaged, is Mational , and therefore re
quires and merits Mational aid ; they consequent
ly look with anxious anticipation to (he National
and State Governments, for their efficient co-ope
ration, and to Auxiliaries and individuals for more
liberal contributions.
4. Resolved, that (he Treasurer of this Society
transmit to Richard Smith, Esq. Treasurer of the
American Colonization Society, all the money in
his hands, except so much as may be necessarily
retained for incidental expenses, and report to
the Society at the next meeting.
6. Resolved, that the proceedings of this day
be transmitted to the Editors of The Missionary
for publication.
6. Resolved, that the Society now adjourn to
the first Saturday in September next.
