MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, SEPT. 6, 132&7
An extract from the Report of the Augusta Aux
iliary Bible Society, promised last week, will be
found in another part of this paper. We have
published a list of the Officers and Agents, whose
duty and pleasure it is to afford every facility in
tiieir power to accomplish the benevolent views
of the Institution. Application to either of these
gentlemen for copies of the Scriptures, will meet
with prompt attention ; and we hope that none
who need them for themselves or for distribution,
will overlook the means of attainment thus pre
sented.
While in the States adjacent we observe fre
quent notices of the formation of Bible Societies,
under the most encouraging circumstances, we
hear of comparatively little exertion being made
in our most popouloiis and wealthy counties to
aid in this important business. The objections
which are urged with most plausibility against
Missionary efforts abroad, cannot operate against
Bible Societies; and those who are constantly
discoursing of home charities, must renounce all
claims td'nonsistency, or unite in the benevolent
Work of lurni*hing the poor and destitute among
( ourselves with the volume of Divine Inspiration.
There is no plan of Christian benevolence in
which so perfect a union of sentiment and action
is maintained as in the distribution of the Holy
Scriptures. Other “labours of love” are gene
rally prosecuted by the friends of religion in their
deuominalive characters; but the duty and im
portance of placing tbe Sacred Treasure in the
hands ot every individual of the human family,
are so imperative and momentous, that in Proles
laut countries, no sectarian feeling is permitted
to weaken or divide. When the friends of the
Bible cause assemble, no discordant sounds art
heard—Union, Enerct, Onward, are pronoun
ced by every tongue, and electrify every heart
There, an altar to Concord is erected, peace is
established among the most opposite sects, and
the “ party coloured coat of Joseph is exchanged
for the seamless garment of Christ.” What friend
of God, what lover of immunity and the best in
terests of his country , wdl refuse his countenance
and support to such an institution.
We observe it stated in several of the Northern
papers, that a negro ho* been recently burnt alive
in Georgia, for the murder of a white man. Tile
occurrence took place in Greenville District, S.
Carolina, and the error may have arisen from the
fact, that the owner of the negro resides in this
State. The crime, however, was committed in
South Carolina, and the punishment was inflicted
by her laws, not ours.
Court Martial. —The trial of Coin. Stewart
commenced on the 19th nit. Commodore Barron
ie the President of the Court, which is composed
of twelve Captains. Richard S. Coxe, Esq. is
Judge Advocate, and Messrs. Hopkinson and
Taylor Counsel for the accused. Four charges
(including forty specifications) were exhibited
against him. They are—Ist, Unofficerlike con
duct, 2d, Disobedience of orders. 3d, Neglect
of doty. 4t.*i, Oppression and cruelty. These
charges grew out of events which occurred dur
ing the cruise of tbe Franklin, 74, in the Pacific!;,
in die years 1821, ’22, and ’23, and relate prin
cipally to the reception on board her of private
property, and persons, contrary to the rules of
the service, and the aiding and abetting of smug
gling in the pints of Peru—also, granting improper
indulgence* to oue officer, and exercising oppres
sion and cruelly towards another. To all the
charges and specifications. Com. Stewart pleaded
not guilty, and the Court then proceeded to the
examination of witnesses.
On the 26th till. Gen. Lafayette, accompanied
by a large cavalcade of citizens, and a squadron
of cavalry, visited the Battle Ground on the bran
dy wine, and traversed most of the field which was
contested on the mentorable 11th of September
1777 The General pointed out the positions
which wire occupied by the American troops
during tiie action, and designated the height on
which lie received his wound. A large collection
of balls and other relicks of the battle, which had
beta picked up at different times, were exhibited
on this occasion. .
The General has since proceeded on hi* jour
ney to Monticello and Montpelier, on a visit to
Messrs. Jefferson and Madison.
The facetious Mr. Noah of the National Advo
cate, thus notices the late (our of Mr. Clinton to
Ohio and Kentucky, which to think
may set something in motion besides Canal

“How Mr. Clay is to chase him off his hunting
ground, 1 caunot foresee; probably lie may push
on to Tennessee and have an interview and an
understanding with the Hero of New Orleans, and
eat another dinner. I learn that the venerable
Jefferson has expressed a desire to see Mr. Clin
ton on the subject of a uniform system of internal
improvement—this will bring bint to Virginia,
where he will have another dinner, until he eats
his way to the while house at Washington. Mr.
Clay must be stirring, or we are all up a tree. We
must think of some bargain to check this rapid
Biarch of the enemy ”

*‘#Ea HAND TAKETH HOLD O.V THE DISTAFF.”
The ‘Wyoming Herald ’ states, that Mis* Mary
Smith, of Pitlston, has repeatedly spun 120 knots
in a day. We do not hold ourselves competent
to appreciate the amount of this young lady’s
work, but we presume that it is much more than
is generally performed. We have no objections
to those enjoying the elegancies oi life whose for
tunes warrant it—but the interest* of the country
-are more promoted by the 120 knot* of thread
spun by Miss Smith, than by all the street yarn
that hus been spun these ten years.— U.S.Gas.

LATEST FROM ENGLAND. j
[F rom English papers to the 16 Ih July.)
The Liverpool Cotton Market had began to re- ■
vive, but in consequence of immense importations
the last few days, but few sales could be made at
the prices asked. The arrivals in one day from 1
the United States were 21,000 bales, aud from tbe
Brazil*, 9,000-in a:] 30,000 bales.
At Havre, the Market had again become dull;
but it was expected the demand would be increas
ed, in consequence of the plague having broken
out at Alexandria, Egypt, which would operate
against imports from that country.
1 he latest accounts from Greece represent the
state of affairs some what less favourable to tbe
good cause—they are, however, derived from
Turkish sources, and are contradictory.
A Serious Trick ! —At the close of the polls in
Lexington, Ky. Mr. Wickliffe invited his friends
to his house, where two or three barrels of punch,
&c. were prepared, of which 4 or 500 persons
drank. Some knaves, actuated either by a re
vengeful or mischievous spirit, threw a large quan- ;
tity of Tartar Emetick in the delicious stimulant, !
and shortly after the barrels were emptied, it was !
observed that every road leading from Lexington. ]
(in number 10,) presented the singular spectacle
of scores of men vomiting for their lives One of
the individuals engaged in this cruel sport, has
been taken into custody, another has made his
escape, and some are suspected who might have
been engaged in more honourable employment.
It is reported here, though we hope without foun
dation, that three of the men thus unmercifully
dustd, have died ; and that several others are
dangerously ill.— Western paper.
The Nova Scotian of July 27, states that a large

head about three feet from the water.
Bible Society in Columbia. —lt appears by pa
pers lately received from Bogota, that the newly

CANALS AND RAIL ROADS.
Mr. Strickland, the architect, who was sent out
to. Europe a short lime since, hy the Pennsylva
ilia Society, for the promotion of internal improve
ment, to acquire minute am! accurate informa
tion respecting Canals, Rail Road*, tic. writes to
(he managers of the Society from Edinburgh, un
der date of June sth, as follows:
“ As flic relative advantage of rail ways and ca
nals, there appears to be but one opinion among
the ablest Engineers in England; both modes
of transportation have been particularly tested,
and although much wealth and commercial great
ness have been prduced by numerous canals, still
rail roads offer greater facilities lor the conveyance
of goods, with more safety , speed and economy.
It is a matter of little importance whether the
surface of the country where they are introduced
be level or mountainous; if levtl, horse* or loco
motive engines are to be used ; if muunlainous ,
a stationary steam engine or brack is to be ap
plied on the summit ; while the ascent is to be
overcome at once, hy lui-an* of an inclined plane.
I feel it a duty to state distinctly my full convic
tion of the decided superiority of Rail-icays over
other modes, as a means of Conveyance and one
which ought to command the serious attention of
ttie people of Pennsylvania.”
If rail roads have a decided superiority over ca
nal*, as stated above, by Mr. Strickland, we may
expect soon to see them exteosivaly introduced
into this country. Philadelphia and Baltimore
will doubtless immediately connect themselves by
rail roads, with the towns on the Ohio, and thus
prevent the loss of the trade which would other
wise pass through the Erie canal to this city.—
Perhaps New-York may one day find it more eco
nomical and convenient to be connected by a
rail road dnecily with Buffalo, to receive and
transmit goods through the circuitous line of the
canalanil Hudson river. We ventured to suggest
nearly a year ago that, after ell our sanguine cal
culations, the Erie canal may be in time rendered
usele*s in consequence of the superior advantage*
presented by steam carriages moving on iron rail
ways. We have seen no reason as yet to alter
cur opinion— [N. Y.Observer.
ANOTHER MURDER IN’ KENTUCKY.
We learn from the Castigator , printed in Rip
ley Ohio, that a Mr. Boswell, son-in law of Gov.
De-ha of Kentucky, arrived at (hot place on the
21st ult. and was the next morning arrested and
cufiveyed to Maysviile on a charge ol an attempt
to murder Mr. Clark, of Fleming county Ke'n’ky.
Since his apprehension it is reported that Mr
Clark has died of bis wonnds. Should this he the
fact, the prisoner will probably meet with less of
the “ law’s delay” than has been i xperienced by
his brother-in-law, the murderer of the lamented
Francis Baker, as Mr. Clark’s connexions are
said to be wealthy and influential — Chil. Times.
The London Courier of the 9th, after having
mentioned (he report of the invasion of Cuba from
Mexico, observe*—“ There would he some dan
ger, we should think, of a project of this kind, if

the cabinet at Washington, which might, ulti
mately, even branch out into others with our own.

RELtEP ANt> ANTI-RELIEF.
Our readers generally are acquainted with the ’
leading points of difference between the two par-’
ties, known by the appellations of relief and anti
relief, which havu for several years agitated the
State of Kentucky. Between these purties (here
has just terminated, (if we may hope (hat it has
terminated) one of the most violent political strug- 1
gles that domestic politics have ever given rise to
in any one of the States of the Union.
The struggle has resulted in the most signal
success of the friend* of the Old Court, or the
anti-relief party, who will have more than two to
one of their adversaries, in the next legislature.
1 his success is said to be greater than was antici
pated by either parly, and is so complete, that it
is supposed it will be decisive, as to the Judicial
questions, at least for a long time,— Nat t . hit.

“Never mind that, (replied the man of dough)

pence, left the shop. The baker called after him
that he had not paid money enough. “ Never

have recently lost two subscribers, who gave as a
reason for their discontinuance, the trouble ot

Charlotte, N. C. -August 23.
It becomes our duty as publick journalist*, to
publish this week an account of the most daring
attempt at murderous assassination, which has
probably ever occurred in this State; for the par
ticulars of which we are indebted to tbe polite
ness of a friend. On the —th instant, Joseph
Wilson, Esq. of this town, in company with Wil
liam Roane, Esq. ot Burke couuty, a Mr. Crane,
aud a servant boy of Mr. Wilson, repaired to the
house of Mr. Elliott, in Rutherford county, on
the land belonging to the mansion formerly owned
hy the notorious Allen Twitty Mr. Wilson in
tending to send from thi* house for Mrs. Twitty,
and endeavour to make some arrangement that
might be agreeable to her, about the possession
of the premises on which she lived, which he pur
chased some years ago, and which he has since
recovered in action at law. From the situation
iu which Mr. Elliott was found when they arrived
there it was deemed best to proceed to the house
occupied by Mrs. Twitty—when they arrived
within a short distance, the servant alighted to
let down a pair of draw rails ; and at this instant
a rifle was discharged at the company from behind
a garden fence, about fifty paces distant, and
was succeeded by another, and another, until six
were fired in quick succession. Mr. Roane was
dangerously wounded in the abdomen, the ser
vant shot through the thigh, and two of the horses
wounded. Tbe company then commenced re
treating, when Mrs. Twitty rose from her lurking
place, and showered upon them a profusion of
curses and imprecations, which were soon suc
ceeded by a discharge of several more rifles.
Our distinguished fellow-citizen, Mr. Wilson,
who was iu front, and the one, no doubt, who*e
1 life was most sought after by the assassins, mirac
ulously escaped unhurt. At our last accounts,
I Mr. Roane and the boy were both living; though
the life of the latter was thought to be in immi
nent danger. His leg had swelled to an enormous
size, and mortification was apprehended. The
; ball was cut out of the thigh of the boy ; but the
! one which wounded Mr. Roane still remained iu
his body, the physicians not having been able to
i find it.
: Mrs. Twitty has been arrested and committed
to jail; but her son, David Twitty, who is sup
i posed to be the instigator of this outrage and the
: prime actor in it, absconded and had not been
i taken at the time our informant left Rutherford
-1 ton The citizens of Rutherford county, we;
trust, will spare no exertions Jo apprehend this j
fellow ; for in addition to his daring attempt on >
the life of Vlr. Wilson, there is no doubt from the
statement published in our last from the Fayette
ville Observer, that he is engaged in the business
jof counterfeiting—a business that his father long
! followed, but who is now dragging out a solitary
I existence in prison, the just punishment of bis
1 iniquity.— Journal.

Extraordinary Antiquity. —We have been fa
voured (says the Brighton Gazette) with (he in- i
spection of a piece of linen cloth, now in the ‘
possession of Mr. Thomas, of Tuubridge Well*, |
which formed a part of the inner integuments ;
which covered the breast of an Egyptian lady. I
T he mummy was discovered in the year 1822, atj
Boinou, in Upper Egypt, and canre in possession
ol Mr. Granville, of London. On removing the
outside case, the body of a female was discover
ed, enveloped in bandages of linen cloth, which
were applied to every part of the body with the
inos! extraordinary nicety and skill; when com
pletely developed, the body was Ivuiiii! to be in a
most perfect state of preservation, the flesh of the
muscles solt, and all the joints quite pliable, and
it proved decidedly the finest mummy ever yet
seen iu Europe. The uncommon state of preser-1
valion of the body induced Dr. Gianville to sac
rifice, for the sake of anatomical science, (he most
perfect specimen yet known, and he accordingly
commenced a regular dissection of the body, the
resells ol which he communicated to the Royal
Society in a mo.t interesting dissertation, w hich
was read in the month of May', 1825. Sir Everar.l
Home ami Dr. Granville discovered that the body
was that ol a leaiale, and from certain anatomical
.lata, they had very little doubt that she was 45
or 50 y ears of age, had had several children, and
died ol a dropsy. i bis piece of cloth is at least
3000 years old, as Herodotu*, the most ancient of
the historians, who flourished 500 years before
the ..hristian era, mentions that Ihe Egyptians
formerly practised the art of embalming the dead,
which art was then lost. It is certainly a won
derful specimen of ttie perfection to which the
cultivation of flax and the arts of weaving and
tanning had arrived at that very distant period.
I tie wrappers round the body weighed 28 pounds
9 ounces, and it is most singular that all the most
scientifick and modern methods of bandaging, as
now practised by the French and English Sur
geons, were known aud used in this instance at
least 3000 years ago.

ever gratifying to the hearts of anxious parent*

him with a faculty of discriminating, and a judge
ment far above mediocrity, which enhanced the
expectations of all who knew him; and had it
pleased his Creator to have lengthened his days
to the full play of his judgement for the relief of
his afflicted fellow men, no doubt his loss would
have shocked any community iu which he might
have been destined to labour. His morals were
as perfectly unexceptionable us his manners were
agreeable: He was raised by religious parents,
and had earl; imbibed from their examples and
precepts, a knowledge of the obligations under
whinh he stood to his God, and so far from meet
ing him with that alarm, terror and confusion, (he
irresistible concomitants of the unprepared, he
met him with a composedness of mind and resig
