MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, JUNE 20, 1325.
The General Assembly of (he Presbyterian
Church closed its session in Philadelphia, on the
Ist inst. The business transacted was mostly ot
Van ordinary nature. During their session, they
linaiiimotislv recommended, that their Churches
patronize the American Colonization Society, and
that collections for its benefit be made on the
4th of July next. The resolutions of the Assem
bly on this subject, as well as the Narrative of the
State of Religion within their bounds, will be giv
en hereafter.
The Lottery Act has compelled us to omit sev
eral articles prepared for this department.
MOUNT ZION EDUCATION SOCIETY.
Mat 7, 1825.
The Society met pursuant to adjournment*
The meeting was opened with prayer.
On motion of Joseph Bryan, Esq. the minutes
of the last meeting were called for and read.
liaac M. Wales, Esq. read the Report of the
Directors, which on motion of M. H. Carrington,
was accepted.
On motion of Joseph Bryan, Esq. to present,
through our President, the thanks of this Society
to Mr. Stiles, for the very appropriate address de
livered before us on this ocrasion—the question
was put and unanimously adopted.
On motion, it is resolved, that the very feeling
remarks of Mr. Foot, one of the Beneficiaries of
this institution, be publickly noticed with the re
port of the Directors.
The Society then proceeded to the choice of
Officers for the ensuing year. On counting the
votes, the following persons were declared to be
duly elected :
Rev. John Brown, D. D. Pres.
Edwin Wiley, V. Pres.
M. H. Carrington, Trcas.
Wm. Burritt, Sec.
Mrs. Wiley. Mrs. Wales, Mrs. Rossetter, Mr.
Foot, Mr. Wilcox, Mr. Kelsey, Mr. Wales—Di

WM. BURRITT, Sec.
The Directors of the Mount Zion Education
-ociety, in compliance with a provision of the
Constitution, make their
SIXTH ANNUAL BEPORT.
Os the money in the treasury at the last Annu
til Meeting, seventy dollars have been paid to the
liev. Dr. Waddel towards the support of Bene
ficiaries who are members of the University of
Georgia, There was in the hands of the Treasur
er at the close of the last year, the sum of s4l 93
■rents. There has been received by donation,the
sum of $25, and from members of the Society, on
account of their annual subscription, sl6; and
there has been received by contribution the sum
o! S2B 43, all which remain subject to the appro
priatioli of the Society.
Though it is to be regretted that the Society
have not been able to do more on account of the
smallness of its annual contributions, yet tlier.
can be no doubt but that the funds furnished
through the instrumentality of the Society, since
its commencement, have been faithfully applied,
and have essentially aided some indigent and
pi,.ns young men in acquiiing an education.—
One who has heeu aided by our charity is now a
minister of the Gospel, and labouring among us,
and as is confidently believed, successfully labour
ing for the salvation of immortal souls. I his fact
of itself furnishes not only an inducement, but a
powerful motive to future exertions. The Cross
pel is now preached in places where probably it
would have not been, had it not been for your
charity ; and the hearts of the pious are comfort
ed and cheered, and sinners are urged and in
structed to embrace the Saviour.
No state in the Union opens a wider field far
Missionary labour, than the State of Georgia. It
is conceded that an adequate supply of Missiona
ries cannot be obtaiued from abroad. Few of
our educated young men become preachers of
the Gospel; they are generally the sons of weal
thy parents, and if they engage in any profession
it is in one that may lead to wealth r honour. Il
our population is ever to be supplied with a
preached Gospel, it mud be by educating among
us those who may be qualified to become Mis
sionaries, and who may be willing to devote their
‘aients and their time to promote ‘he best inter
ests of their fellow beings. That such may be
obtained, is evident from the fact that there are
now several individual members of Franklin Col
1,-ge who are supported by Christian liberality,
and who are qualifying themselves to become
preachers of the Go-pel.
The pious have hailed with joy the institution
of a Domestick Missionary Society in thi State.
It is considered as an auspicious omen which fore
bodes better times in the. more extensive enjoy
ment of religious privileges among our citizens.
But the exertions of the Society must be limited
if they have to send abroad for their missionaries.
Other parts of our country need Missionaries, and
it is impossible to supply them. Hence arises a
powerful motive for the continued exertions of
this Society.
Never were there greater inducements to the
exertions of Missionary and Education Societies
than at the present time. A sense of the impor
tance of the Institutions of Christianity never
more extensively prevailed. There is an increas
ed disposition on the part of our population to re
ceive the Ministers of the Gospel kindly and to
hear them gladly. Infidelity is less prevalent, or
less clamorous, or more afraid to disclose itself.
So favourable an opportunity should not be lost
nor neglected ; and every friend of the Redeem
er every friend to man, and all who wish to pro
mote the best interests of ‘he State, should unite
in aiding the endeavours of Missionary and Edu
cation Societies.
All which is respectfully submitted.
After the reading and acceptance of the forego
ing report, the Rev. George Foot rose and addres
sed the Society in a feeling and affectionate man
ner. He returned his thanks to the Society Tor
the aid he had received in completing his educa
tion. and in preparing for the Ministry. He re
marked that he was indebted for all his educa
tion to Christian liberality, and that hence arose
a powerful motive to coifseerate himself to the
work ot the Ministry, or to de vote all his time and
all his talents in labouring <o promote the spread ;
of the Gospel and the salvation of souls. He ;m
pressively urged the Society to a continuance of
their exertions, and fervently implored the bles
fji.e of Heaven upon this and all similar Socie
ties.

The Board of Health of Moniieello have an
nounced that the Small Pox has disappeared from
that placp, and invite a renewal of former inter

Foreign News. —Liverpool papers to May 1,
have been received at New York. The Cotton
Market remained about the same as by the last
advices.
The Corn Laws and the Catholick Bill occu
pied the attention of the British jaarliament.
The news from Greece continued rather unfa
vourable, although no reverses of moment have
been experienced by the Greeks. The Turks
are making greater efforts than ever, and their
troops wire every wherein motion. The Greeks
were equally active, and a bloody campaign was
anticipated.
The Greek papers acknowledge the receipt of
the subscriptions in their favour forwarded from
the United States.
A dinner was given on the 6th inst. in the city
of Augusta, to the Hon. John C. Calhoun, Vice
President of the United States. Among the toasts
on the occasion, was the following : 1
Hon. J. C. Calhmin—W e delight to honour
those to whom honour is justly due.
When this toast was given, Mr. Calhoun rose
and thanked the company for their kind senti
ment ; observing, that no two States were more
identified in interest than those of Georgia and S.
Carolina. H< regarded with pleasure every indi
cation of congeniality of feelings between them,
at the same time he should reprobate any con
certed scheme of union for interested or sectional
objects, as against the spirit of the national com
pact. He then gave—-
Georgia and South Carolina —ldentified in all
their interests, may they be united in sentiment
and friendship.
One penny per pound is now paid in Charles

A bale of goods from the city of New York,de
siened for Orange county, Indiana, is mentioned
as having arrived at Buffalo. Its tour is as follows:
From N. York by the Hudson river and the Erie
canal to Buffalo—then up the lake to Erie in Pa.
.thence to Pittsburgh by land (the Ohio canal not
‘being finished) —thence down the Ohio river to
Jeffeisonville,within 50 miles of the owner’s door.
The whole distance is 1317 miles, only 180 ol
which require land carriage. Such are the facil
ilies afforded by internal improvements, and yet
some of the States are slumbering over the ad
vantages afforded them by nature,and which they
have ample means to improve.
Dr. Hamlin, of Louisiana, lately obtained a
verdict against Gen. Hughes of SII,OOO in an ac
tion of slander. Soon after the judgment was
recorded, Dr. H. came into court, and volunta
rily recorded satisfaction for the amount, observ
ing that he did not want Gen. H.’s money, but
to protect an injured reputation. That object
being obtained by the verdict, he would have
none of the money.
Extract of a letter from Mount Sterling, Ky. to a
gentleman at Lexington, dated May 2, 1825.
“ Our citizens have been somewhat excited
lately by the news of a party of counterfeiters
carrying on their business about thirty miles from
this place. A company of about fifleen left here
on last Thursday, and came on their camp in a
very remote and mountainous part of the country.
They had a small paper mill to go by water, and
had made about S6OOO, principally on the Barks
ot Tennessee, South Carolina, and New Orleans.
I Two of the party were taken and three made their
’ escape ; the two ringleaders, Sturdevant and Al
’ len, made their escape, but it is expected they
will be taken. I have seen the money, and do
not hesitate to say, that I should have considered
it genuine. The information came from a young
man who had acted as their clerk for some years,

Governour Manning has issued his proclama-1
tion offering a reward of S2OO for the apprehen
sion of Alexander Howie, who, on the 22d March
last, in the district of Edgefield, murdered Peter

district, murdered hii step-brother, named Gun.
neis, while asleep, in the most shocking and cru
el manner, by knocking out his brains with a
club. They had some previous dispute, while
heated by liquor; and it is supposed both we re
intoxicated when the crime was committed. The
murderer has been confined in Edgefield jail, and
it is asserted that he boasts of the crime he has
committed. [&'ou(A. Intel.

Mr. John Lewis Cocke of Powhatan, Va. put

At New York, last week, a woman appeared
before a Court, and insisted on a right to be sent
to the Penitentiary. This being denied, she
went out, and immediately stole several watches.
On being brought back, she demanded to be con- J
victed of grand larceny, and committed for 14
years, exclaiming if this crime was not enough
they might add burglary and bigamy. She was
sent to prison to await her trial.

Steam Printing Press —The powers of steam,
(says Mackenzie in his experiments in ch mistry,
printed in London) are becoming more known
every- day. Even typography has received ils
wonderful aid. The Times, and other newspa
pers, have for a long time been printed by cylin
ders impelled by steam, and assisted only by three
boys, who are thus enabled to do the work of six
teen men. In addition to the e-onomy in saving
manual labour, the otherwise waste steam is car
ried round the buildings connected with the print
ing offices, which nut only saves a great expense
in fuel, but affords that steady and uniform heat
so necessary in a printing establishment. Cow
pi-r’s patent steam engine prints two sides of a
sheet of paper at the same lime.
Effects of a Canal in prospect.— Thirteen acres
of land in Worcester, Mass, much of it meadow,

Lafayette's. Loss.— Extract of a letter from Gen
eral Lafayette, to a gentleman in Philadelphia,
dated at Loubville, May 12.
“ In the night of the Bth and 9th instant, we
ran foul of a snag,which lay two feet under water,
and so well enfiladed our steam boat, that it pier
ced through our upper deck, and .sunk the boat
in a few minutes. We had time, however, to
come out of the ladies’ cabin before the wate r
had penetrated through the partition, and all
lauded safely without any life being lost. The
Paragon, which was descending the river, in tie
morning, was good enough to take us on boanl
and bring us to this place The accident is not
imputable to any one; the conduct of the cap
tain of the Mechanick was such as to entitle him
to the thanks which you will see in the St. Louis
Gazptte. You will find in another part of that
newspaper an error, which I wish much to he cor
rected ; it is that I have only lost :uy carriage and
tny hat; the latter was most obligingly replaced
by a manufacturer of Louisville. Bn’ among the
lost trunks is that which contained al! the papers
which I had preserved during my journey—all
my letters to be answered—and a great number
of answers which I had prepared during twelve
days’ navigation. This loss throws all my cor
respondence into confusion. 1 have not saved a
single memorandum: and as to every thing ante
rior to the shipwreck, 1 must rely on the indul
gence of n y friends.
I expert to be, on the 28th or 291 fi of this month,
at Pittsburgh, and arrive at Boston on the 16th of
June, by the way of Albany. I hope to be at
New York on the 4th of July—thence to go to
Washington, taking Philadelphia in my way, to
take leave of several respected friends, and em
bark for France on the 15th of August.’
