Of this ro-1 nw "tical!y situated edifice 1 had hoard inrtch j —mucii respecting its antiquated appear- j d'e dcath-like silence that pervaded its ; M.'ediato vieinnge, and the time-worn a -covered tables of those who there *('Wi quiet sleep of death ;of those who ' 1 '• rbe awakened from their louden slumbers, until that awful day arrives on ] whieh tii Great J.jhovu will command the j wide earth and deep sea to yield up their in- ■ mates. As such scenes are w ell adapted to elicit the deepest emotions of our hearts, to withdraw our thoughts fora while from this world and all its grovelling pursuits, to chas ten our feelings as it humbles our pride, in a word, to elevate our souls to the contempla tion of tlie true and living God, hoping that sensations like these would visit and trart quilize my mind, I determined to gratify my long wished-for desire to see this hallowed j and sequestered spot. As I traversed the j deep and solitary vista that led to the portals of the Church, my mind involuntarily turned to a retrospect of the past, to the long num ber of years that had passed away fovever since this beautiful carpet-clad avenue, in Nature’s own livery, had been first used as a pathway to the house of prayer. llow many noble sires and virtuous matrons —how many youths of lofty bearing, their hearts buoyant with the hopes of future manhood—how ma ny lovely maidens, with hearts as gay, and steps as light as the merry bird carolling at their sides—ves, l tho’t of how many, during' those by-gone years, possessing .all that rend ers existence fascinating—who had the same feelings, influenced try the same hopes and fears, actuated by the same invisible agency that controuls my own destiny—how many of these fellow beings of mine have gone, for ever gone as if they had never been—this place that once knrwv them, knows them no more. Yes, on this very spot, in this very path, where their footstep fell as they ap proached ilie Temple of the living Cod,is now trod by many who scarcely know that such were —and, m a few brief years or months— aye, perhaps even days, the same common fate awaits me too. Such is the tenor of man’s life, a mere bubble, often bursting ere it is formed. With such reflections I found my self in front of a most chaste but venerable looking structure, embosomed in wild luxu riance of Nature’s bowers— Still here tiiou art, filling This solitude; aye, the gentle South winds To speak of thee, stealing along the tree tops In melody—thou art in the cooler air That from the inmost depths of this sweet spot j Comes scarcely felt —the ancient Oaks,the sward | Tlie green, moist sward, the jessamine, yes all tlie Wild flowers—with the mock bird flitting from ] Spray to spray, are all instinctive proofs of thee And breathe their incense up to Heaven. The mo*s grown stones covering the re mains of tliose who once held sweet commu nion in this sanctuary of the lord , who has in his own inimitable language, promised that j where “ two or three are gathered together in j his name, there he will be in the midst oi l them-”—-Y’es these testimonials to departed worth, even these, were fust crumbling into dust,beneath the insatiate ravages of time; and in a few years they will also have passed a way forever os being ortc among the many ttn erringproofs of tlie utter instability of human records, though they were traced with points of steel upon plates of adamant. Here, saiiiat this porch, how many ‘hap py, joyful greetings have boon given, now ma ny fond and anxious enquiries have been made, by those met here on that hallowed day, the best of the seven.” Ob that sacred day of sweet influences, they were here drawn as to one common centre, for here they were sure to meet one day in the week, and inter change hi! the kind courtesies of lift-—here they united their voices in singing praises to the Most High, the incense of which, ascend ing to Heaven from this little rural tabernacle of the wilderness, was perhaps, more accep table than those issuing from tlie gilded domes of the most magnificent Temples. But, wh re now are those, who assembled here when this vcommunity was in the prime and freshness of its days, before the diseases peculiar to our iow country had rendered it so unhealthy. M ill not tlie few worshippers that are left, will they not in the sadness of their hearts, point to this thickly tenanted bu rial ground, and in the agony of their bereave ments reply, where! “0, where are they, whose all that- earth could give, Beneath these senseless marbles disappeared ? Where even they who taught these stones to grieve— The hands that hewed them, and the hearts that J ' reared ? Such the poor bounds of all that’s hoped cr feared ? Within the griefs and smiles of this short day, Here sunk the honored, vanished the endeared; This the last tribute, love to Jove could pa^y— An idle pageant pile to graces past away. ’ The interior accords with tlie exterior, be ing very neat and char te, without any at- j tempts at elegance, but the walls are ador- \ ned with somg fine marble monuirients, ex- j hibifingsomc of the choicest specimens oi tlie j sculptor’s art. and commemorating the mem- j ory of the “illustrious dead”— ; ot those who were enshrined at the commencement oi the last century. At the East end is a large win dow, near this is the pulpit, from winch, for! upwards of a Century, have the everlasting j words of life and hope been conveyed to those j who seek tlie Lord with clean hands and a| pure heart* The sides of the Altar are a-, domed with four Corinthian pilasters, uphold- j ing a cornice; between these pilasters tire the I marble tablets of the Decalogue and Lord’s j Prayer, &c &c. j Over the west door, which appears the ! principal entrance, is the representation of a Pelican feeding her voting, while over the pulpit is this sentence, —“fV/ or;/ to Hod on high—on Earth, peace — Hood ! will towards i ?(’/”—with some other inscriptions ol a simi lar character, which F do not now recollect. Over the cast window, which is immediately in the rear of the pulpit, are the royal arms j of England, —it was this “ insigniuirE that j saved this Church from sharing the fate oi , nearly all the other country Churches in Car olina during the revolutionary war, as they were either burnt, pit aged, or converted into barracks —and not the sternest republican j wo uld now wisth to see symbols ol regality J removed when it is known that they saved [ the Temple of his God from the violence of a mercenary and ruthless soldiery. Even this: little Church once had its “Chapel of Ease,” some ft or (i miles beyond; this is now a mass of ruins it is said ; the time in which it was lmilt is not known. Tho figures of *1721 have been traced upon one of the bricks. It was built in. the form of a cross, and many tomb stones are now lying about it, requiring! thechisel of “Old Mortality” to enable one to ! decypher their inscriptions. This Parish i was once the wealthiest anti most thickly set-1 th-d of any around Charleston, the Clergy of! which, for many years, were supplied by the | society in England for the “Propagation of I Ui* Gospel in foreign parts.” Tin re are; but few, it any, more antiquated Churches, j than this at Goose Creek, in the whole Un- 1 ion. A. fter satisfying my curiosity as far asprac-! ticable, l reluctantly withdrew from this deep- J ly engaging place, with the resolve of never again passing it by, on the other side. Similar to this, are most of the Parisli Churches*in the lower parts of Carolina.— From their secluded location and primitive appearance, as they stand embowered among the stately oaks and brilliant folliage of our forests, they are indeed well calculated to awaken feelings of deep and vivid interest— requiring (. ily the pen of an Iricing to clothe them W'ith as many attractions as he has so beautifully imparted to the Abbeys and Churches cf other climes. * • i* u a\ **• ia* ./ .x Cos- i: i: , r/ f „ ,V i.i * V /,■■;//////,• -* “ Our Bock relates to all the acts and employ ments of man.” —Juvenal Friday, September 9, 183|. c~fj‘ In our notice of the Kail Road Meeting on Tuesday last, we omitted, in some of our copies, ! the names of the Hon.

Audi et (dftrum partem, is a rule which shall i always govern us in laying before the public com- Uiuinications tending to affect the reputation of | official agents in the discharge of their duties, j whether they be civil, military, or ecclesiastical. | Under the guidance of this principle, we lay be ! fore tire public the letters of the Rev. John llovv | -red, and the Rev. 1). C. McLeod ; mid also let i U to froii) the Executive, We have not room | for the Rev. Mr. Worcester’s letter—it is suffi j cient tor the present to say, that it corroborates ; the statements of .Mr. McLeod. Of Mr. Howard, ! it is unnecessary for us to say any thing: he is j known throughout the the Slate as a usefttl and : patriotic citizen, and as a pious and enlightened divine. Of the former gentleman vve know no thing, but he is represented to bear a similar char acter the representations and suggestions of such men, then, should not be disregarded. We must be permitted to say, that notwith standing Governor Gilmer’s remark, in his or ders to Col. Nelson—“to let the Missionaries feel the heaviest weight of the law,” Ac. that remark did not authorise punishment,or that unusuaFtreat inent of contuftiely to thoSe under arrest, which if. contended, was inflicted on them : The law, we know, authorises the arrest, but neither punish ment or extra-judicial procedino-s. It the treatment which the Missionaries receiv ed is such as has been represented by Messrs. McLeod and Worcester, we feel no delicacy in pronouncing it cruel, oppressive, and illegal.— And, as the representations seem to come from responsible sources, we think it not only dilo to justice, but to the commanding officers, (whose characters have* hitherto been unimpeachable,) that a proper inquiry should be immediately in stituted. \\ e have been too long acquainted with Gov ernor Gilmer, and are too well assured of his high sense ol justice and his respectful regard for tlie sacred calling to suppose for a moment that any such order could have emanated from him. His executive dispensations have always been char acterized by a clemency, which while they did not detract front the enforcement of the laws have yet mitigated that harsh and severe character which they often unnecessarily assume whoa pla ced in the hands of those who have hern impro perly “clothed in a little brief authority.” Indeed, in the emphatic words of the Rev. Mr. Howard himself, “we all believe Governor Gilmer to be a wise and humane benefactor .” We shall make diligent inquiry, for the purpose of getting the most certain and particular informa tion relative to this unpleasant affair. And have no doubt, that in a few days we shall bo enabled, to lay before the public such facts as will not only absolve Governor Gilmer at least, from the slight est shade of censure, hut advance for him, if pos sible, the character which he sustains, of a “wise and humane” ruler. We subjoin Mr Ilowdard’s letteftous, and refer tlie reader to an another column, under tlie head of “Cherokee Missionaries,” for Mr. Mc- Leod’s letter, Ac. Mh. Sladd : In jour paper of the 30th inst. I noticed a para graph extracted from a letter addressed by Col. Sand ford, commander of the Georgia guard in Cherokee Territory, to Governor Gilmer. In wlijch the Colonel states—“ Two white men have been arrested lor illegal residence with in the territory,one of them is a Methodist Preach er by tue name of I rot, who had l*epn discounter noticed by his own Conference, for his officious and ova; zeaious interference in Indian politics, ,snd whose denunciations against Georgia, were such during one. of his political sermons as crea ted sensations of unspeakable horror in one (I)r. Butler) himself not in the least remarkable lor his character and brotherly love towards us.” In your strictures upon the uhove extract, you have justly condemned such conduct as is attribu- ' ted to the UcvM. Mr. Trot whilst you have kindly awarded to his Church, its fullest share of merit. Col. Sand ford in reporting Mr. Trot as a lidis comitenanced minister of his own Conference” has doubtless acted upon such information as he deemed entitled to the fullest credit. But I assure you Sir, as one who claims to know something of the usages of the Methodist Episcopal Church, l;ecould not have been legally employed by the Bishop, or hy r any Presiding El der whilst he sustained sucli a relation to his eon deronce as is ascribed to him by Col. Sandford. By reference to the Rev. D. C. McLeod’s let ter dated the 16th July, A published in the Chris tian’s Advocate and Journal of the 12lh ulti you will find that Mr. McLeod as his Presiding Elder recognizes him as a preacher in good standing on the ('onmauga Circuit, from which I am bound to believe that Col. Sami ford for want of correct information has virtually fixed upon the Tennes see Conference the charge of placing upon one of her stations a degraded Church Officer. Hav ing thus far performed a duty which 1 felt consci entiously hound to discharge in behalf of niy church—l would now Mr. Editor for a few mo ments direct, your attention to the contents of the Rev. Messrs. McLeod and Worcesters letters published on the 12th and 20lh d.iys of last mouth,in the Christian Advocate A the Charles ton Observer; if tho statements of tlmse Rev. Gentlemen, are worthy of credit, then surely the constituted authorities of Georgia, will promptly institute such enquiry's as will throw the proper amount of censure upon Officers who could so far transcend the bounds of i vitary dccurnm and trample under foot the sacred rights of freemen — as a citizen of Georgia, 1 feel for her dignity at home, and her respectability abroad—and verity if such accusations as are laid at the door of her officers by the “ Cherokee Missionaries” should pass without the proper investigation, then would I blush to own that i had ever exercised inyelcc tive franchise in behalf of. men, so inattentive to the imperious claims of human justice. If those missionaries have slandered the officers of our State Government, because they h- ve exe cuted with fidelity the orders tif tlie Executive j whom we all believe to be a tvtte and humane I benefactor—then Sir,the sooner they are exposed ' to their merited contempt, tho better for all who have any interest in the happi.-.'ss and prosperity of our common country.

Whereas, the Tariff of 1828, operates oppres sively upon the interests of the South, by impair ing the value of its staple commodities, and hj imposing unequal burdens upon its citizens:— And whereas, ve regard it as a duty imposed on us an members of tine Republic, to approbate all reasonable and constitutional means to relihve ourselves from a system both oppressive and un constitutional - Be if then fore resolved, That this meeting high ly approves of tlie Free Trade Convention to be held in -Philadelphia, on the fourth Monday of next September, and view it as exercising an im portant hearing upon the interests of the Southern States. Resolved, That it is important that the State of Georgia should be represented in said Conven tion, and that we highly approve of the Delegates nominated at the late meetings in Athens and Sa vannah. Tho introduction of these Resolutions gave rise to a long Bi*l animated discussion, in which they were supported by Messis. Washington Per, Thomas Campbell, Christopher B. Strong, and Henry G.
