£ TO THE CLERGY OF THE STATE OF
£ GEORGIA.
‘■ißeverend Sirs — i
i. 1 The high and responsible station which you oc-
Wcopy, has doubtless caused you very frequently
j to reflect on the amazing condescension of Al
't nighty God in committing the treasures of the
to earthen vessels. You are called to be
the Ambassadors of Heaven, and you feel it your
*duty and your privilege to execute your coimuis-
by expounding the word of God—by warn
-4 ing sinners to flee from the wrath to come, and
’ by confirming in the faith those who have fled for
refuge to lay hold on the hope set before them.
(f'Yourr is a blessed employment! a holy vocation !
f a most exalted office ! But how awfully rtspons'-
hle ! If you are not permitted to see but in part
the influence which you exert here, eternity will
unfold it in all its amazing extent, and you will
then discover the wisdom of God in <he employ
ment qf such humble means as he often uses for
the of his kingdom.
Inf the Church which Christ has established,
there is “ one Lord, one faith, one baptism.”
Whatever then may be the denomination to
which you belong, the kind and affectionate re
■ proof of an Apostle who complained in his day
that “ one was of Paul, and another of Apollos.
and another of Cephas,” may possibly reach as
far as yon. It will also be well to remember that
.
Christ is not divided—that they who are not for
him are against him, and therefore the most ex
pansile charity should be cultivated for those
who Aay differ from you on subjects which are
not Ssential to salvation. The .only motive
which we wil’ urge for the exercise of this feeling,
though by no means the only motive that exists,
nor are w,e certain that it is the most important,
arises from the sphere of your labours. A large
majority of those to whom you preach the Gospel
are not embraced within the visible Church. The
harvest is plenteous and the labourers are few.
You have room enough for the exercise of your
ministerial functions. There is more before you
than you are able to accomplish were your talents
and zeal increased in a ten-fold proportion, amt
your labour increased in the same ratio. Now, if
your brethren of other denominations are preach
ing Christ—are doing good—bid them God speed
—-follow them with your prayers, and love and
honour them as the servants of the Most High,
whatever little peculiarities may attach them
selves to their character or their creed. Let it
he remembered that none are perfect. This re
flection, when brought home to the heart, will
prepare you to pray for the exercise of that cha
rily which thinke.th no tril. And a correspond
ing conduct will wrest from the mouths of eain
savers, one of their most formidable arguments
against the cause of our common Saviour. When
they tell you that there are so many religions,
they know not which to choose, convince them
not merely by words, but by the overflowing of a
heart warm with fraternal affection, that you do
no* esteem those who differ from you in sonic par
ticulars, as belonging to a different religion. If
the partition walls which now divide you could
be levelled with the duet, and were you brought
together in the spirit of Christ, the differences
which exist between you would be found to be
merely verbal. Even were they greater than
they are, true charity would overleap them, and
embrace in the arms of brotherhood all that love
the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity and in truth.
If a union rs ever brought about between the
different denominations among us, you, Reverend
Sira, must lead the way. Yon are the living ex
allies to the flock. The sentiments which you
prliulgate, and the feelings which yon exercise,
have a much greater weight on the sentiments and
feelings of the community than you may imagine.
Whenever p Clergyman walks worthy of his vo
cation, the wicked feel a veneration for his char
acter, and are awed in his presence.
We wish now to inquire whether some means
caifnof be devised for bringing about a better
stale of feeling than that which has existed, and
which in a degree still exists between the differ
ent denominations of Christians. Now, nothing
can be done to any great extent without your
concurrence. We know not what to advise. We
jlo not expect ever to see the bars broken down
and taken entirely out of the way, which separate
different churches, but we do expect an increase
of love and harmony and fraternal affection ; and
ai far as our influence ex&nds a publick journal
'ists, we shall endeavour to promote that mutual
charity which should ever exist between the fol
lowers of Christ. You will perceive that oursta
lion also is responsible. We need your prayers
and your influence and your talents to co-operate
witti whatever God. oiay give us, for the promo
tion of his glory.
Nearly six years have expired since this paper
was established. What good or what injury it
may have done, i9 not for us to inquire. Our
readers can be6ttell with what ability and impar
tiality it has been conducted. We are sensible
that it has had its faults. But never have we in-1
tentionally wounded the feelings of one that be
longed to the flock of Christ. If you think, Rev- |
trend Sirs, that the continuance of such a paper
Improved as it can be, by your assistance, will
have a tendency to do good and promote the king-:
doin of Christ—we are bold first to ask your
prayers—-remembering that the “ prayer of a
righteous man availeth much”—and not only your
pravers, but your influence in extending its.cir
culation, and also your talents to give it increas
ing interest and utility. We have been long un
der the impression that a religious paper, conduc
ted with a proper spirit, tends as much as any
thing.els# to bring Christians of different detiomi- ;
nations together. Wbal Christian, for instance, j
can read what the Moravian*, ojr Baptists, or Me
thodists, or Episcopalians, ofjtpresbyterians, or
the disciples of Christ under aDy other appella
tion, are doing, in pieces where their labours are
blessed, and turn away from the perusal with in
difference ? Who of you would covet such a heart
as this ? Who, rather, does not feel warmed and
animated and refreshed by good news from a far
country, whoever may have been the instruments
of effecting a change for the better? Now, what j
channel can be more suitable for the conveyance
of such information than a Religious Newspaper?
If we mistake not the manifest dealings of God,
and the plain intimations of his word, there is
something like a promise to those who water the
vineyard of Christ by such streams as these. “Ma
ny are to run to and fro, and knowledge is to
increase.”
Indeed, there is no question but such publica
tions as this hare been instrumental iu awakening
sinners and building up Christians in the most
holy faith. They are evidently means, nor are
they the least that God uses for the promotion of
his declarative glory. May we not then expect
what we have asked at your hands ? Do you not
conceive it important that this instrument should
be preserved and its influence extended? Were
we striving to build up a sect by this means, we
could not ask for the patronage of any but those
who were favourable to that sect. But we wish
to see the kingdom of Christ flourish, and have
nothing to do with a sectarian spirit. This i9 the
principle on which the paper was established, and
if we have failed in preserving it, it is human to
err, but we have never intentionally erred.

“ Alteram sorlem - bene preep-ratum pectus.”
“ A well prepared breast hopes in adversity and
fears in prosperity another condition.”
A few years since the price of our staple com
modity rose to thirty cents. All the energies of
the planter were directed to the growth of cot
ton, to the neglect of his other agricultural con
cerns. Provisions became scarce and dear. The
necessaries and luxuries of life were graduated
on the same exorbitant scale with the staple com
modity. Large debts were contracted on a short
credit. The means of meeting their payments
were reckoned certain from the average quantity
of cotton which (he planters could grow and the
price which it bore. Money appeared plenty.
Extravagance ensued. The cost of maintaining
a family was treble what it ever had been. A
drought,ensued. Cotton feU.but the price of other
articles did not fall in proportion, nor were the
people disposed to return immediately to their
former habits of-industry and frugality. Credi
tors began to demand payment in vain. The
Sheriff came ; and many a person whose circum
stances had been easy and respectable, was strip
ped of all his possessions. Many a wealthy man
was reduced to beggary and want. The experi
ence of these things is so recent (hat it cannot fail
1o be remembered, and it ought to prove a caution
to the whole Southern community, to begin in
time to guard against the recurrence of those dis
tressing events which circumstances appear to
forebode.
INDIAN COMMOTIONS— GEN. McINTOSII
KILLr.D !
An extra sheet issued from the Southern Recor
der Office, on Tuesday last, announces the arri
val (here on Monday, of Chilly Mclntosh, and
five chiefs of the Nation, bringing the distressing
intelligence that a party of four hundred Indians
had on the Saturday previous, attacked the resi
dence of his father, whom they murdered, togeth
er with Tustunnuggee Tom me, Chief of the Cow
eta towns. The house of Gen. Mclntosh was
burnt, and his cattle and • slaves driven off. Ilis
son escaped with much risk, and has gone on to
Washington City. Whether this hostile move
ment was the result of dissatisfaction produced
by the conclusion of the treaty, or whether some
recent act of Gen. Mclntosh has excited their
fury, we have not learrred. Gen. M. was on the
eve of setting out to explore the country destined
for the Nation, west of the Mississippi. There is
too much reason to fear, says the Recorder, that
while men were the instigators of this horrid
butchery.
SMALL POX!
It is with surprise and deep regret that we learn
the existence of this loathsome disease in Monti
cello, Jasper county. The Board of Health an
nounced, on the first of May, that it had mani
fested itself in Jive cases. An express has been
despatched for the vaccine matter, and every
possible precaution is taking to prevent its spread
ing. May heaven avert the threatened calamity !
Communication.
The General Meeting of the first district of the
Georgia Association, will commence at Bethel,
Hancock County, on Friday, the 27th of May,
and hold three days. The Churches will do well
to attend to the recommendation of the Associa
tion, and appoint three of their Members to at
tend. Several preachers are expected to attend.

Savannah, April 29.
A man named Michael Nugent was killed in an
affray on Wednesday night last, at about half past
eleven o’clock, at a Grocery Store, near the eas
tern end of the Bay. As many stories have been
jin circulation, we give the following particulars.
Nugent, we understand, was a discharged soldier,
recently arrived from St. Augustine. ‘The dispute
originated in a 50 cent bill given by him for li
quor, and for which he demanded the change of
a dollar. It was refused, aud an altercation ensu
ed, when he was ordered and ultimately forced
out by Farr, the keeper of the store. Nugent
soon after returned, the dispute was renewed, and
he was again turned out by Farr and his wife—
the latter, according to a part of the evidence
before the Coroner’s Jury, striking him with a
stick. The parties were now on the platform iu
front of thifrioor, when Nugent knocked Mrs. F.
down. Farr immediately retired into the house,
and returned with a gun, which had been previ
ously loaded with duck shot. Nugent was at
ttii lime a few yards in front of the door, and
with hi* hack inclining towards it, conversing
wjth auotber individual, vyhen Farr from the door
levelled his piece and discharged its contents at
the bead of Nugent, who fell without uttering a
word. The head of the deceased presented a
shocking spectacle, the left side of the upper part |
of it having been carried off, and a part of the]
brains literally blown out. It is stated that all ■
the parties were more or less intoxicated; and i
that Farr expressed his willingness immediately to
surrender himself to justice. He was apprehend
ed the same night with his wife and committed to
jail, where he will remain for trial at the next
term of the Superionr Court in this city, the lat
ter having been discharged The following is the
verdict of the Jury of Inquest:—
“That the said Michael Nngeht came to his
death by the discharge of a gun fired by the hands
1 of John Farr, on the night of the 27th of Apiil,
’ 1825, in the city of Savannah, the charge from
| which iaid gun entered the head of said Michael
I Nugent, which uocasieued instant death.”

The Editor of the New York Evening Post has
received a Porto Rico paper containing the con
demnation, confession, and execution of eleven
pirates, who made their escape on shore from a pi
ratical schooner, and were afterwards taken in
the woods, which schr. was captured by the
boats of the U. S. schr. Grampus, Lieut, Sloat.
When these pirates were takeu to the place of
execution, the chief, Cofrecinas, refused to be
blindfolded, saying that he bad murdered three or
four hundred, and thought, that by this time, he
ought to know how to die, and that lie wished to
see how they managed. ‘[ATaE lnt.
A Turn Out. —The JourneymemCarpenters of
Boston have agreed to insist upon lonfiniug their
day’s labour to ten working hours. Their em
ployers refuse to comply with the’ demand, and
5 or 600 workmen are in consequfnce now said
to be without employ. The Centieel states, that
at a meeting of the Journeymen Carpenters on
Monday evening, upwards of 450 : attended. Two
of the Master Carpenters have adveitised for 60
workmeu from the country.
An appropriation of $12,000 has bsen made by

A young man,previously of excellent character,
was sent from the State of Mississippi lately to
New Orleans, to sell 77 bags ot Cotton. After
transacting the business well, and receiving pay,
he was beset, intoxicated and seduced by gam
biers, and lost the whole of the money. He af
terwards, in despair, enlisted as a soldier.
A letter has been received in this city from Mr.
Miller, who sailed hence for Greece, a lew months

yet, before the war terminates.— Boston paper.

SHIP CANAL THROUGH CENTRAL AMER
ICA.
A hill is now passing through the House of Com
mons for.the incorporation of a Company whose
purpose is to make a passage for ships, from the
Atlantick t# the Pacifick Ocean, through the nar
row country which connects North and South
America. The immense advantage arising from
such an undertaking is apparent to every one who
looks at a map of the world. The long and dan
gerous voyage around the vast American contin
ent, by Cape Horn, will be thereby saved to all
vessels going to the great South Sea; while tin
voyage to India and China will be shortened 9 or
10,000 miles. The plan is riot, however, the old
one, of cutting straight through the Isthmus of Da
rien, which, even at the narrowest part, would
be a work of incalculable labour and expense,
and indeed would probably never accommodate
any vessels larger than barges. A line has been
discovered in the new state, entitled “The Unit
ed Provinces of Central America,” formed by riv
ers and lakes, which will only require a canal of
twelve miles long, and the clearing of a river chan
nel, to complete an entire water passage for large
ships, from one ocean to the other. Surveys of
the whole communication were found in the office
of a late Spanish Minister of Marine; for the big
otted government of Spain, in conformity with its
general colonial policy, kept all information of
this kind as secret as possible, lest foreigners
should take advantage of it. The proposed cap
ital of the Company is only one million, and it
seems that mining in Guatimala is said to be unit
ed with the other object. It is thought that the
toll, which the South Sea whalers alone could well
afford to pay, would make the proposed canal a
profitable scheme. If the data upon which the
plan is founded are correct, the undertaking will
he one of enormous benefit, and will effect a sort
of revolution in our distant and most valuable
commerce. There could not certaiuly be a bet
ter time for trying such a speculation with the re
quisite spirit. There only wants now a canal
through the Isthmus of Suez, and then the two
great desiderata , for which all geographers have
sighed, would be accomplished, and little of cir
cuitous navigation left in the world !
BILLS OF MORTALITY.
The number of Deaths, in the city and liberties
of Philadelphia, during the year 1824, were 4399.
In the same year, 1244 men, 1204 boys, 387
women, 1006 girls,—total 4341, died in (he city
and county of New York. The Smallpox carri
ed off 394, of whom 113 were coloured persons.
Seven hundred and thirty-six died of consumption,
and 231 of convulsions.
In Baltimore 1468 deaths occured, —IBB by
consumption, 48 by convulsions, and 2 by Small
pox.
In Philadelphia there were 663 deaths by va
rious kinds of fever. In New York, only 190.
In Baltimore 211.
There were two suicides in Philadelphia, five
in Baltimore, and nineteen in New York. In Phil
adelphia there were besides, “ four deaths by
landanum, one or two of which ought, perhaps,
to be classed with the suicides.
Deaths by intemperance. In New York 70,
in Raltiiuore 25, in Philadelphia 22, besides 53
by Slania a Potu.
In Philadelphia there was one death from taking
“ Tartar Emetickln Baltimore one from drink
ing “ Oil of Vitriol.”
Drowned, —at New York, 53, at Philadelphia
37, at Baltimore 27.
The number of deaths by Old Age, is stated
to have been 151 in New York, 72 in Baltimore,
: and only 53 in Philadelphia.
It is worthy of note that one sixth of the whole
i number of deaths in Philadelphia, was coloured
; people, though they form only one twelfth of the
i whole population.
A still more remarkable fact is mentioned in
I the Baltimore Bill of Mortality. According to
I the census of 1820, the number of free coloured
! persons in that city was 10,306, aud of slaves 4,-
375. The number of deaths in 1824 was, of free
persons 368, being about one to 28 ; of slavts 48,
: being about one to 4)0 ; that w tqpre than three
| fret to one slave f
The number of deaths in New York in 1824,
exceeded that in 1823, by 897.
In Philadelphia there were in 1823, 4600 deaths,
lor 201 more than in 1824. There were twenty
more births in the city and liberties last year than
’ in 1823.
; The use of Charcoal in preventing the putre
faction of auimal matter ha* often been commend
ed, and the application of this interesting proper
ty of charcoal, to the preservation of provisions
] for ships at sea, cannot be too often insisted upon.
] We have another pleasing confirmation of this
fact in the statement “ that the crews of the two
i-Russian ships whioh lately sailed round the world,
1 were extremely healthy—during the whole three
years of their voyage, only two men died of the
crew of the Nava and the Ncvashada did not
; lose a single man—not only their fresh water was
preserved in charred casks, but the same precau
tion was applied to the preservation of their salt- 1
ed provisions. The beef they carried out with
them tasted as pleasantly upon their return, as it
did three years before, when first salted.”

“ It is composed entirely as its title implies, of
selections from foreign journals. A few words
may show that it is, however, far from being ad
verse to our own institutions or literature—and
that on the contrary, it may have an important
efiect in preventing the dissemination of doctrines
in discordance with the principles upon which
our society is constituted. Some of the British
Reviews and Magazines are reprinted in this
country exactly as they appear at home, and they
as well as those which are not published here,
embrace much matter of little interest and no ad
vantage to our readers—and which is not unfre
quently fitted to vitiate their literary taste, their
morals, and their political principles. But while
it cannot be denied that there is in all these for
eign journals a large part which consists of details
and speculations which are uninteresting to Amer
ican readers, or mischievous in their political or’
, moral tendency, it is equally certain that a con
siderable portion of (heir contents is of general
application and of interest and value, and that
they embrace much (hat is in a very high degree
interesting and curious—practical, sound and
’ able—refined and elegant ; much that will excite
thought and refine (he imagination—that will
“raisethe genius and mend the heart.” And
when we consider that the greatest philosophers
and statesmen, as well as poets, criticks, and all
other men of literature, now find the periodical
press the channel through which their opinions
can he conveyed to the greatest number ol men,
it will appear very evident, that a knowledge of
wnal is thus written and done abroad is necessary
to the successful cultivation of our own literature,
and important to the politician, scholar and man
of business, a* well as to him who reads only for
amusement.
To persons who reside at a distance from the
great depositories of New Books and New Inven
tions, a work conducted upon this plan is pecu
liarly important, as affording to them an opportu
nity of keeping pace in some degree with the pro
gress of knowledge, at a very trifling expense of
money or time.
When it is added that most of the literature of
the day is not easily accessible in any other than
this form to our families, it will readily be ac
knowledged that a work conducted upon the
plan of the Museum may be in a very considera
ble degree interesting or valuable. How far this
Journal has been successful in endeavouring to
merit these appellations, must be determined by
the publick ; and the rapid increase of the sub
scription list is the most gratifying proof of suc
cess.”
