OF THE BA.VK OF EXGLAXD.
The Bank of England was founded, and in-|
corporated into a society, in I<jo4. By the
I ' l ;,r • r then granted, it was laid down that the);
j ;; ■ua ' einent. of the business of the Br*nt{ should
b • conducted by a Governor, Deputy Governor, ;
! :.nd wenty-fbur Directors, annually chosen.
'I he qut;lilie lion cf an elector is £SOO of;
stuck (now worth £1000) which entitles him to||
'i\e one vote; and no proprietor cuu have;,
more than one vote. _ j
'i 11,, qtialific tion for a director is £2OOO of.
stock, and for a governor £ iOOO of stock.
The Bank is restricted from engaging in any
commer ial tr; ns .ctioii, except he ucann o m
bills of exchange, and gold a. mi silver.

I mentioned from advancing any money to the
I ji. iiiii monarch unless sanctioned by raraa-j 1

In 1708, the profitable nature of the business iI
of die Bank led to the at’empt on the part of 1 !

number than six persons liom dealing in bills ofi

[ dt isive check to the formation of banking es-;
tallislmients in competidun wi li the Bank; as ;
* the profit attendant on the issuing of notes wash
cue of the principal inducements to such under-;:
I takings. m |t
The Charter of the Bank, when granted in! 1
IG9T, was for eleven years —namely, to 1705 ;!j
it was further prolonged in 1007. I)
In 1708, the Bank having advanced £400,-j|
000 for the public service, without hr ores', its if
exclusive privile .< s were prolong! dto 1733. H
Various other renewals were, from time to j
’ time, : rant* d, in consideration of the advances!]
made by the Bank to Government.
Tin. last renewal was made in ITOO, when ;
the Bank advanced for the public service three
millions, for six years, without interest
fe Bank has not been exempt from political j!
r-** 1 commercial panics among the holders oi its i
’j notes.
hi 1745. the advance of the Pretender led to j j
mat rial inconveniences, which were happily !
averte 1 by his timely retreat.
In Juno 1780, during the prevalence oi the
| ue popery riots, the Bank incurred considerable ;
d ager. The apprehensions then existing led
* the precaution of placing a considerable nu
ll my force within Tie interior of the establish-j
r.aut, a practice which has been partially con
tinued to the present day.
T» t ’he most important epoch in the history|
of the Bank is the Bank Restriction Act, which:
s p vsed in 1797. It is remarkable, and per.|
’■ u.'s little known, that Mr. Pitt, when he resolv-i
r . on t' : s bold measure, for which he had no;
pr>. cedent to guide him, was so little aware of;
iuciiity with which such a change could bc !

M’e Sir Robert Peel, than whom no man was i
more intimately acquainted with the advantages i
of country banking to'the nation, acted as chair- !
man on the occasion; and cn the night when i

against it.
In 1820, a modification

part ot the law of 1708 which prohibited the ■
I partnership of more than six persons to carry |
on banking concerns. The modification then f
inade was to allow a greater number tlian six ■
i persons to form a partnership bank, provided jh
that it was not wi hiu 65 miles of London.
In i 826 was prohibited the future issue of one j:
pound notes. y
In same year, and in order to supply the va- ! ,
jcuum occas oned by the failure or succession ofii
inany couniry banks, the Bank of England!
formed the plan of establishing branch banks in y
various principal towns; o.nd at this moment |! :

no no'cs under £2O. In that year it began Loji

Aware of the peculiar interest which Tic sub- jj
jeca must possess at this time, we have hastily j (
sketched Tie following Biographical notice cf;
I the heroic tdumter. " •
Gen. Sumter was not, as wo have heretoforeii:
snp; o.sed, a native of this State, but of Virginia. 1 ’
G arly in iitb lie come to South Carolina, andj •
|sa led m the upper country, which at that time !;
; was much harrassed by t!io hes ility of the Indi-( j
ano. It would seem that lie then commenced |
I his career of valour and usefulness: for wo find! .
i that at the close of the Cherokee war, he ac-i ,
! companied Oconos otali, or “;he Emperor,’ 5 to! ,
England; it being common at that time to in-j
i(tucc ihe Indian Chiefs *o visit the moth .r coun-li
1 ry, for the purpose of confirming their friend, j I
. si.ip to the coloms s. Cm returning with Deo- j
nostokih to iiis homo in 1763, General, then
j Mr. Sutnlcr, found aniongs - the Indians one
Baron Dos Johnncss, a Trench Canadian, who
npoke s ven cf the Indian languages, and whom
m suspected of being an incendiary son' !o ex
| cite the tribes to iios ili y against their white
nf'ighbours. Sumter, with his characterisiic!
' resolu ; on, arres ed tins individual, taking liim j
sin le handed, in spite of the opposition of the !
Indians, and, at much personal risk, carrying j
; him prisoner ’o Fort Prince George cn the Ke- |
howee. Hes Johnncss was afterwards sent to !
j Charleston, where he was examined, and tho’
his guilt was no: positively proved, ii was deem
ed expedient io send him o England.
I romGen. Sumter s 1- ter to the State Righ s;
(Association in February last, wo learn that he
1 was in Charles on during the high exei emerii
preceding the war of the Revolution, probably
lin 177 I and 1775, a time to which the let.er
reverts with great satisfaction, as the period,
j when he enjoyed wi’h the old Whig party of|
| Carolina, an interchange of the same senli
j men s which animate the Eulliilers of the pre
■ sent day.
Vv o next meet wi h the name of Sumter in the j
;l history of this State, in 1780. He had been pre
; viously a Colonel of one of the conTaen al regi-j
mi n’s, and when in that year the Bri ish had
overrun the State, he wotild not remain to sub
i mit, but retired with other determined patriots
into IS of rh Carolina. During his absence, his
‘ house was burned, and his family tinned out of
I doors by tlie Bri ish. The little band of exiles ;
in Nor h Carolina chose him their leader, and at ‘
* I
! their bead he returned to face tho victorious :
! enemy. When this gallant incursion was made,!!
: | tie people of the Siate had for .he most part j|
; abandoned the idea of resistance, and military j|
|| operations had be- n suspended for n-„ arly two;|
! mon’hs. His followers were in a great measure!
•! unfurnished with food, clothing, and ammuni-r
: lion. Farming utensils wore worked up by
j common blacksmiths •<? supply them w ith arms,
d Household pewter was melted into bullets; and]
a thev sometimes engaged with nut three rounds'
jj to a man. #With a volunteer force thus equipped,
he commenced hostilities, and broke the quiet ofj
j subjection into which Carolina seemed to be!
| sinking.
' On the 12lh July, 1780, lie attacko.i a British
; detachmen; on the Catawba,supported by a con
; siderable force of tories—and totally rou cd and
dispersed tb.e whole force, killing Capt. Hack,
■ who commanded tho British, and Col. Ferguson.:
w hc commanded the Tories, Animated by this
f success, the inhabitan s flocked to hts standard ; j
■ ; anc j being reinforced to Ti- number of TOO men,
ij he made a spirired attack on the Bri ish poet at |
• ' Rocky Mount, but was repulsed. Marching!
• I! immediately in quest of other tk tachna ntsof.hej
ui enemy, in eight days as er, he a’tacked the post
;! a , t h e Hanging Rock, where h - annihd ;ted the,
' Prince of Wales’ Regimen’, and pu: to flight, a
. large body of Tories from iSorth Carolina.
■ When -Sumter's men went into this ba tie, not
.''one of them had more than ten bullc s. and to
- i wards the close of the fight, the anus and am
3'' munition of the fallen British and I ones w ore
ii used by the Americans.
While the American army, under tne unfor-
I tunate Gates, v.ere approacliins.Camden, Col.
' Sumter was on the west hans ot the W a.eree.

eii intercepting the British on their way tothar.ee.
- on, as thcii retreat or defeat was confidently
i expected. He here formed a plan for reducm
! t British redoubt at Wateree Ferry, and inier-
I cep inar a Convoy < n the road from Charleston
: o Camden, in both of which objects he fully
i succeeded —and the news of his success reach
jed Gates, while that cfiicer was retreating after
i bis defeat, fleering of the disaster at Camden
I
retreated with his prisone s and spoils
up ''the Watcroe to Fishing Creek, where hr
1 was overtaken by Tarleton on the IS tin The
Americans had been four days without provi
sions or sleep, and their vedette? being exhaust
ed, suffered them to be surprised; the conse
quence was their total rout and dispersion. The
loss which Sumter sustained was, however, soon
repaired, for in three days lie rallied his troops,
and was again at the head of a respectable force!
At the head of his little band—augmented from
time to time by reinforcements of volunteers,
no kept the field unsupported , while, for three
months, there was no regular or Continental ar
my in the s;atf„ ile shifted his position fre
quently in the vicinity of Broad, Enoreo and I
Truer Rivers, maintaining a continual skirmish
mg with the enemy, beating up their quarters, :
cutting oil their supplies, and harrassing them !
by incessant incursions and alarms.
On the 12th of November he was attacked at
Broad River by a corps of British infantry and |
dragoons under Major Weyms. He utterly de-h
leafed them and took iheir commander prison-'
er. On the 20ih of November he was attacked
at Black Stocks, on Tiser River, by TaHeton, t;
whom he repulsed after a severe and obstinate ij
action. Tarleton claimed victory—on which!
Cornwallis wrote to him I wish you joy ofji
yo.’.r success, hut wish it had not cod yea sc'[
■much” The loss of the Americans was trifling!;
compared to that of the British, but Gen. Sum-fi
ter received a wound in the shoulder, that for jj
several months interrupted his gallant career, jj
He was placed, we are told, in a raw bullock’s ji
hide, suspended be 4 ween two horses, and thus j
carried by a guard of his men to the mountains. •
A few days afer, Cornwallis wrote to Tarleton, i
14 I shall be very glad to bear that. Sumter is in |
condition to give you no farther trouble; h.fi|
certainly has been bur greatest plague i t this j
country
On the l‘Fh of January, 1781, the old Con
gress adopted a resolution of thanks to General
Sumter, for his eminent services.
Afer the battles fought by Gen. Greene, and
the departure of Cornwallis for Virginia, Gen.
Sumter, who hod just recovered from his wound,
collected another force, and early in February.
1721, crossed the Conga re o and dcs roved duo
magazines at Fort Granby. On the advance
of Lord Ravvdon from Camden, Sumter retreat
ed : and immediately menaced another BrLHh j
post. Two days afer he defeated an escort of |
'he enemy, and captured the wagons and s‘orcs j
which they were conveying from Charles nn to j
Camden. He next, with 3-30 horsemen, swam |
across the Santee, and advanced on Fort Wat
son, but retreated on the approach cf Lord
Rawdon to its relief. On his return to Black
River he was attacked by Major Fraser with a
very large force. Fraser lost twenty men and
retreated. Having thus cheered the spirits of |
the people cf the ccn’ro of the S ate, he retired ■
j o ihe borders of North-Caroiina. In March,
! 1781, he raised three regiments of regulars. |
! Fits previous enterprises had all been executed j
by militia. He subsequently took part in the ;
| military movements in the lower country, until i
I the close of the war, and co-operating with Ma
! ricn, struck many successful blows at the Bri
tish, and was distinguished in the several actions
which were fought between Orangeburg end
| Chariest! n.
After the peace, Gen. Sumter was a dialing
guished member of the State Convention, in
which he voted with those who opposed the adop
tion of the Federal Constitution, on the ground
that the States were not sufficiently shielded 1 y
it against federal usurpation. He was after
wards selected one of the five members from
this State in the House of Representatives ofthe
first Congress under the Constitution, and con
tinued to represent South-Carolina in the natlori
ial councils until 1808. Hd uniformly support
led the principles of Jefferson, and contributed
I zealously to their glorious triumph in ’93 andj
i ’99. He took an active part with the other I
j members from this State. in denouncing apeti-i
tion for the abolition of slavery, which waspre-i
'seated from the Quakers of Pennsylvania. He!
I voted against the ref rence ol the petition to a
committee, but Mr. Madison, and other South
jern members, having respectfully voted for the
I reference, the committee, though composed part
||h r of northern members, reported decidedly a
j gainst the petition, declaring that Congress hadi
; no power in a matter reserved exclusively to the:
jurisdiction of the States. In ’95 Gen. Sumter
, was publicly insult' d by a federal mob, in the;
! Philadelphia theatre, because he refused to take!
j‘ oil’ his hat or show some such token of servile :
j respect, to President Adams.
|j For many years, the veteran patriot has lived
;in retirement amid the respect ami affection of
'(bis neighbors, and lab. !y we regret to learn, in
!| limited circumstances. He retained, however.
!j his fine spirit unbroken to the end, and at the age
II of nearly a hundred years exhibited the cheer
jl fulness and fire of youth. But a few weeks bs
ijforo his death, he vaulted into his saddle with the
j activity of a young man, and the faculties of the
i mind retained their vigour as well as those of tire
i body.
The elevated con wo which he has pursued in
1 the prest-n* crisis of our liberties is well known.
•! The spirit of the soldi or of’76 slowing unchilied
d by the winters of a century, has blazed up into
, a farewell radiance, to light the onward march
• of his vounger compatriots o the rindicafion rfi
those flights which he perilled ail to establish.
.; He died in the faith of the State Rights an 1
g Free Trade Party, animating the zealous to

.ij he backward —confirming he wavering: .and
i| his last exertion to his young fellow-citizens. like

•Sale of a Wi c by her Hatband. til Carlisle,
j On Saturday, the 7th April, the inhabitants of

j rney had no children during their union, and!

j Tins announcement attracted the notice of thou s-’

; on a large oak chair, surrounded H-y many of her |
; • .ens, with a rope or halter made of straw round
; her neck. She was dressed in a rather fashion.

an elevated position near her, proceeded to put

j with all her perfections and imperfections, fori

After an hour or two she was purchased by |
Henry Mears, a pensioner, for the sum of ticend
ty shillings and a JScw L'oundland dog. The
[ happy pair immediately left town together amidst
j ’he shouts and huzzas of the multitude, in which
they were joined by Thompson, who, with the
I greatest good homor imaginable, proceeded to
1 put he halter.which his wife had taken off, round!
j the neck of his Newfoundland dog, and then
| proceeded to the first public house, where lie
spent the remainder of the day.
The £iiu-missive Wife, —A marred wemaii
j was called effectually by Divine grace, and be

liwasa lover of pleasure and of s'n. When
j spending an evening as usual, with his jovial 1
j companions, at a tavern, the conversation hap-j
ipened to tarn on the excellencies and faults ofl
their wives. -The husband just mentioned gave
the highest cm omiums cf ins wife, saying she
was all that was excelent, only that she was a
d d methodist. “Notvvi hs'andingwhich,”
said he, “such is her command of temper, that
were 1 to take you, gentlemen, home at midnight,
and order her to rise and get supper, she would
be all submission and cheerfulness.” Thccom
|| pany looking upon tliis as merely a brag, dared
j! him to make the experiment by a considerable wa
il ger. The bargain was mode; and about midriigh
■ j ihe company abjourned, ns proposed. Being ad.
; milted, “Where is your mistress?” said the bus-
I band to the maid servant who sat up for him.—
; “ She is gone to bed, Sir,” “Call her up,” paid
lie. “Tell her I have brought some friends!
'home with me, and desire she will get up, and!
| pr< pare them supper.” The good woman obey-;
■led the unreasonable Summons: dressed, came
| down, and received the company with perfect
; civility : told them she happened to have some
chickens ready for the spit, and that supper:
j should be got as soon as possible. The supped!
/ was accordingly served up; when she perforrnerd,
jj he honours ofthe table with as much cheerful-1
_; ness as if she had expected company at a proper!
;season.
‘•j After supper, the guests could not refrain
4 from expressing their astonishment. One of
j them particularly, more sober than the res', t hus
■j addressed himself to the lady; “Madam,” said!
■| he, “your civility fits us with surprise. Our
q unreasonable visit is in consequence of a wager'
j which we have certainly lost. As you are r.

Tiiis wise and faithful reply ailecLd the whole

2 the husband. “Do you, my dear,” said he.

I thank you for the warning. By the grace of

'4 Friday, the first of this month, we attend
ed an examination of Mm. Leigh’s pupils,
and were highly gratified with the result. The
first class, had, durmgMhe -Session, (which com.
menced the Ist January last,) studied Arithme
-1 he, English Grammar, Geography, History and
Natural Philosophy. We were particularly
pleased with tlie promptiiudc, distinctness, and
perspicuity of < heir answers to the various ques
tions propounded to them. We are convinced,
j from the clear & discriminating manner in winch
the examination was conducted, that her pupils
wdl never receive vague and indistinct impres
i sions of the several branches of education to
j which their attention may bo given under her
| direction. From what we have witnessed, we
■can assure the parents of the youthful females,
who have been, or may be confidcded (o the in
s: rucucn of Mrs. Leigh, that they will have no
thing to unlearn; and"judging from the advance
ment of her present pupils, that they will learn
as much that is useful and drnamen’al as at any
0 her female Seminary in the State* or in any
other State. W e cannot conclude the accoun
ot the examination, (which has been superior to
any wc have witnessed,) without congratulating;
our fellow citizens ofthe Stab generally, upon
the re-establishment of a female Seminary of
learning, at the Cherokee Corner, in Oglethorpe
County, winch promises to equal, if not excel
that which formerly cxis ed at that place, and
| sincerely hope that paren s who are desirbus of
I giving their daughters an education, which may
; render them no f only useful members of society,
1 but ornaments ofthe community of which they
may be members, will patronize th- infant Senr
i nary, which cannot fail to reward in the most
; uoeral manner any patronatre thr v may b stow,
ij it is necessary «.o add "hat the Junior Class ap
|; neared to equal ad van‘age in the branches of
j education, to which their attention had'be.cn di
j; reeled,
