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.” [N umber 18.
