VIRTUE, LIBERTY, AND SCIENCE.
Culture of the Sugar Cane.
Ml —Mr. M’lSfllh’a adver
tisement for sale in your paper of
“ 95 hogs.ieads of Sugar, made on
Sapelo, by Thomas Spalding, Lfq.
of equal, if not superior quality, to
any imported/* mult attract the
notice of his and the adjoining
state, w’yre it is hoped the culture
will be ‘urlued to great advantage.
This growth is highly interesting
to the United States, as a produce
which adds to our comforts, inde
pendent of foreign aid. It may
well be remembered by the friends
and acquaintances of that gentle
man, how many doubts and ineers
were thrown on his obstinacy (as
it was then called) in perlevering to
plant cant tor a crop ; but
the talents, indullry and calculation
of Mr. Spalding, have awakened
new schemes of wealth and inde
pendence tor the planters ot Geor
gia and South Carolina. He has
proved, (though by rilkmg a great
deal) the poffibiiity ot railing iugar
to any extent —-lie has Ihown the
quality and nature ot loii luitable
to that plant, and also proved that
fine and elegant lugar works can
be erected, at a finall expense, com
pared with the calculations ot the
Weft India and Louisiana planters;
the United States and this state in
particular owes him a debt of grati
tude, if to be highly ufeful to a
country, ever entitles a citizen to
this claim. It is but a few years
since he began, and he is the firft
individual who planted lugar cane
in Georgia fyftecnaticaily and with
an undeviating determination to be
fuccefsful in a crop, or prove the
fallacy of his hopes ; other planters
more cautious, have waited for the
issue of the experiment, and now,
sugar cane, is planted more or lets
on our whole sea coast—the late en
emy, whilst on St. Simon’s (a tew
miles from Mr. Spalding’s) had a
longing and a predatory eye, on
this sugar, the negroes and the ef
tabliffiment, and ruin appeared to
be the*fate of that gentleman, but
for the fortunate arrival on the Al
tamaha of the brave Blacklhear and
his small army, together with the
enterprising spirit ot the command
ing officer of M‘lntofh county,
which gave great security to Sapelo
and peace has confirmed it—if ever
Georgia sugar, becomes a valuable
staple to the state and country, it
ought in justice to the firft cultiva
tor and as a reward for the wishes
and anxiety of a firft experiment,
to be called “ Spalding Sugar/*
for had he not pursued the culture
on the scale he has done for fome
years past, would we have had any
Georgia Sugar at market ? Cer
tainly not, will betheanfwer of e
very unprejudiced citizen in the
eastern district.
Sav, Repub*
About a month previous to capt.
Osgood’s failing from Bermuda,
lieut. Wright, of the royal navy,
firft infulred, and then challenged
to fight, Mr. Price, midlhipman of
the President. Mr. P. did not hes-
[. Payable half yearly.
itate so accept the challenge, and
mer him at the time and place ap
pointed ; but Mr. W. had very pru
dently taken the precaution to have
a constable there in time to prevent
the effufion of blood. Both of
them were bound to keep tho
peace. Thus the affair ended.
The evening after commodore
Decatur’s official account of the
capture of the President was pub
lished in the Bermuda Gazette
with the editors remarks on it, thh
fame hero, Mr. W. was on the>
public square at St. George’s ex
claiming loudly against commo
dore Decatur, faying he was
d—d rafeal and a liar. Mr.
Randolph (midshipman of the Pre
sident) who was pafling him at the
time, alked him what he said ? He
repeated his assertions. Mr. R„
told him he was a great scoundrel,.
and had been proved a coward,
and if he were not an invalid he
would chastise him for such imper
tinent fallehoods He said he was
net an invalid,and immediately put
himfeif in a menacing poftu e.—
Just at this time, Mr. Ward, editor
of the Bermuda Royal Gazette &>
a justice of the peace, came up, and
told Mr. R. not to strike that gen
tleman. Mr. R. asked him who
he was? He replied, his name was-
Ward. The editor of the Ga
zette ? said Mr. R. Yes was the
answer. “You are the man I want
to fee,” said Mr. R.and I (hall
take the liberty to cane you, for
those palpable falfehoods published
in your last paper,” and according
ly gave him what he deserved. He
then returned home to his lodgings.
Mr. Wf made off, and returned
soon after with a guard of soldiers.
Mr. R. not being found, ordered
the guard to take to the guard
house another midshipman and two
Philadelphia captains who happen
ed to be on the square, and said he
was determined to take up all the
American* he could find. The
friends of those who were commit
ted immediately went to their as
sistance, and gave the required se
curity for their appearance the next
morning, when they were honora
bly acquitted by the mayor, Mr.
Ward paying costs! Mr. Ran
dolph having previously obtained 9
pass to come away, embarked on
board the Abo the morning after l
the affair happened.
Sal. Reg.
The Endymion frigate, with
the President as her prize, having
been partially repaired, (the latter
manned from and commanded by
one of the Lieutenants of the En--
dymion) failed from Bermuda on
the Bth of March for England, with
the British flag flying over the Ame
rican on board the President. The
artifice will no doubt have its full
effect in England, and “wife Jonny
Bull” believing the Endymion to
have done the business alone, will
no doubt be as highly gratified at
the fight, as he was at the famous
representation of the capture of the
Yankee frigates on the “ Serpentine
River.”
