txtraß of a letter from a gentleman in I
Pendleton Diftrift, to his friend in this
city, dated July 30, 1802.
" Notice was given that the ficrament of the
Lord's Tupper would 'fe administered in the
congregation of the Rev. Mr. Gilleland, at
Broadway creek, in, Pendleton diftri&, on the
fourth fab,hath & July, it being the 25th day of
that month. The preparation fervicc waft to
commence on Friday the „4. On the evening
before, however, the cahips began to be pitched
in the Wilderncfs, and hot within the view ' of
any artificial improvements of any kin^

a number of others, ,no doobtio the feme fitua*.,
tidn. The gr^t arid WQnd<ifßLworks which
appeared to the wondering multitude, are as
far above my power of explanation as of corn
prehenfion. ft mull be observed, then that the
faint description I am aiming at, may be very
impeded, as well as income, as the whole is
made i, from my own obfervatiun. Some parts,
therefore, may be wrong through my incapac-
to the Dey, that his affairs required his
immediate departure from Algiers, ^nd
that the procrallination of his Highnefs
was so inconvenient that it might be
the occation of his ruin. The Dey in
terrupted him, and laid—D:3 you not
atk Chriftiah justice ? Why I^ncra r that
it is a aslant practice with Christian
lawyeiaffo draw out their pleadings so
. that vefr often no decision ever takes
place. I have been informed that there
-is a Christian tribunal, called the Court
of Chancery, where some suits have
outlived the years of Methufalem. If
you w:il be fatisfied with Mahometan
justice, I Thill fettle your business in a
few minutes. As the Venetian could
not think of refilling the Dey's authori
ty, he implored,his final determination ;
when his Highnefspronounced the fol
lowing sentence : Let the Portuguese
instantly repay the two hundred and
fifty zechins to the Venetian : and as
' his highnefe was told that the Portu
guese had owed that money for two
. years, he added — Let him besides lend
•two hundred and fifty zeclfins th the
Venetian, and the latter shall keep it
likewise two years; and in case the debt
orJhould be in a Rate of insolvency, the
creditor may apply to him the baftina

parties. In the measures of these ty-
Extrafl of a letter from a gentleman in
York Diflritt, to lie friend in this cit),
dated July I, 1802.
" ACCORDING to your desire, I. ffiall give
you some account of the great revival of
religion which has lately takenplace amongst us;
but I must observe, you will hear various ac
counts about this work, for there are very dif
ferent opinions, and people speak as they are af
fedted towards it, i think I have attended to
it without partiality or prejudice, and am con
flrained to think it an extraordinary work of
God.
" It is but about fir weeks firice this work
firfl: began amongst us, and 1 assure you, since
that time the face of things are entirely altered.
People are really getting religious, and religion
has become the univcrfal topic.
“ But to be more particular. At firft, when
they were flruck, they are taken with a kind of
tremor, and generally begin to 6gh and moan ;
from that they frequently fall down and be
come severely convuifed ; some will tremble &
scream to a mod awful rate, and will fetch the
deepest and quickest sighs I ever heard. Their
hands are generally cold, and they have a
twiching in their limbs and body. From that
they will fall quiet, and get to praying, and
some will rife up and exhort.
" The time of their cxercife is from half an
hour to twenty-four hours. Ie has very differ,
ent effeas oil different people. Some are struck
but once, and perhaps sensible of nothing but
bodily pain while in exercise ; and some are
Ilruck a great number of times. It is not sup
posed that every one that is struck is made the
fubjedt of grace.
" It is a very impartial work ; it attacks all
dalles of people. Old and young, male and
female, white and black, moral and vicious are
all made fuFjeds of this extraordinary work.
Neither is it attached to any particular cir
&mftances of life. At meeting and on the
road, in their houses and in the fields, they are
flruck without diferimination, though most fre
quently under the ordinances of the gospel.
" Religious focicties are become common a
mongst us, and I have known eight or nine ex
ercised at an evening fociet,
'" Some people are very much opposed to it,
and I have known foriic struck in the heighth
of their oppofirion.
From what I have said I will leave you to
make your own inferences. 1 '
rants there is often something ludicrous,
but the true charafteriftic of their con
dud is inhumanity. The grandfather
.of the present Emperor of Morocco a
"mufed himfelf with dabbing or behead-
ing a certain number of slaves after
breakfaft, and often ordered the found
teeth of some flout slave to be pulled
out for his diversion. This fad has
been attested by Count D'^onf.e, the
French Ambassador at Morocco, who
published a faithful account of his em
bassy.—-We are in great hopes that the
will be the means of crushing all the
African underftrappers of the Porte. —
As we observed before, since the Otto
mans pay no relpeft to the law of na
tions, their extirpation, or at lead the
reduction of their power, is a necessary
measure : Thread ofbeing panic-struck
at the chimerical machinations of the
Jacobins, the Cabinets ought to deliver
the world from the iniquitous dealings
of the Algerines, and their African ac
complices.

" All with whom 1 conversed after their et
ercifes were over, seemed to be under deep gm
vi&ions; and from the declaration they made,
I do believe many were converted.
" Not having experienced these extraordina
ry operations myfelf, to rifque an opinion of
them may be thought premature and improper.
As they appeared to me, however, to be novel
and .extraordinary, my .mind and attention was ,
much engaged, and endeavoring to difeover the,
true cause, as far as my weak abilities might en
able me. On attending to a few cases, 1 soon
discovered (and with certainty too) they could
nor have their origin in human nature; then I
must look to some supernatural impelling pow
er for the pause. I can have no idea of any pow
ers which can operate Upon the mind and will of
man,but two; the one a bad and the other b'good'
one. Common sense must forbid my helictin
the firft ; because, whatever influence tbt Ddvit
may have over mankind; (and it isgiperfll,-
thought he has a great deal) fie chafes it in a .'
very different manner, namely, to Ater,gthen his
own kingdom ; to seduce and draw the people
from the service of God, and toehlift and keep
them under his banner, and in his own service.
—A house divided against itfelf cannot ftpid,
" Then it remains, that it must be th, g@d
" I do not pretend to assert this as a general
rule, but it appears to me to be the case, so far
as my observation went. Several young men
were struck down, some of whose exercises I
attended to, and who, (as I was informed by
their acquaintances) came there as oppofers,
making boasts of what they would do if any
were struck down in their presence, and exulting
greatly in their own strength, and defying all
the ministers to strike them down. 1 attended
some of the etercifes of one or more of these
young men. They appeared to be in the most
agitated misery which it is possible to conceive
or express, rolling and tumbling about for ma
ny hours in the greatest agitation :—fometimes
crying for mercy, acknowledging the most ac
cumulated load of guilt ; —then despairing to
obtain mercy; then pleading again: praying
for the fouls of their little brothers and fillers;
foyhofe of all who were met together in that
camp:—and for all the world of mankind, and
with the greatest apparent fervency and sincer
ity, that none of them might be called from
time, before their peace was made with their
redeemer. -'
" From my own obf^vation it appeared they
were struck down, and exercised in very differ
ent ways, although they generally trembled ex
ceedingly, and were remarkably cold in their
bodily ext,iicies. After they recovered, some
said they fit a great load about their heart, a
little time before the severity of the stroke ;
others said they were rather in a slumbering
and inattentive way, not at all affected at that
moment, with what they were hearing or had
heard, when they were flruck down in an in
fant, as with a thunder-bolt.
" Some were totally insensible ofevery thing
that palled for forte considerable time ; others
said they were perfectly sensible of every word
spoken in their hearing, and every thing done
to them, although to the fpedlators they appear
ed in a state of equ^l insensibility. Many cried
out exceedingly when they were firft struck
down ,• the cries were like those of the greatest
bodily distress imaginable. But this was gene
rally lucceeded in a little time by a state of ap
parent infenfibility,which generally lasted much
longer; and which in some, was succeeded, by
the strongest appearance of extreme agitation
and distress, exhibited by incessant cries for
mercy, and acknowledgments of unworthiness
and ingratitude to a blessed Savior, who had
paid their raufom in languishing, torture and
death, that they might live.
''Two things were very remarkable through
out the progress of this business, as they appear
ed to me. The firfl is, that the people did not
fall so much immediately under the ministry, as
they did at their camps, or walking through the
space between the different encampments, and
when in hearing of the public speakers.
" The next is, that those who had led the
most immoral lives, were struck down and ex
ercised with the greater apparent severity, than
those who were good moral characters, altho'
they appeared considerably distressed at firft,yet
they were not constrained to cry out, but by,
silent and comfortable contemplation they soon
recovered perfea serenity of mind; and the
most delicate conftirutions, although in all ap
pearance greatly agitated, yet they only com
plained of weakness, but rejoiced exceedingly in
themselves, and to their confidential friends, of
the conloliog comforts they received, pafling
knowledge, at least of the natural man, in a
state of nature.,
„ it feeing through the th,factious parts ;
and other parts mull be founded in conjecture.
“ Near two hundred heavy waggons were
upon the ground, besides other carriages, and it
Thought (including every age and Ter) there
could not be less than five thousand persons.
“ Two Hands were created on the ground,
and at 1 convenient distance, for the daily ex
hibitions of the public Speakers, as also the ta
ble for administering the Lord's supper. The
Hands, however, were occupied by the different
ministers, while the Lord's supper was admin-,
illcred to perhaps about 700 communicants.
%The camp was well illuminated thro' the
night, by 3 good fire being kept up in front of
every camp, besides candles, which were kept
burning in different parts of the encampment.
The whole of the time was taken up, both day
and night, (time for every necessary refrefhment
only excepted) in praising, praying, preaching
and exhortation ; and this time was only taken
up at-the refpe&ive people required it; so that
divine service was conftantfy kept up, perhaps
the whole of the time, both day and night.
“ Profefling ministers of the gospel of differ
ent feds attended, viz of the Presbyterian, Me
thodifl and Baptist churches, and performed
their refpedive duties dccafidnalfy, with very
great zeal and fervency, night and day, as their
refpeCtive abilities enabled them to under
go the extraordinary fatigue.
" A very great number of people of every
age, ( believe from ten years to seventy, were
struck down. To rifle a conjecture of the pre-
Cife number would be idly uncertain, because
they fell in their camps, on their way home,
and after they got there. Although but a few
days have elapsed since their meeting, yet I
have heard of fevdral being struck down after
they got home, who lived twenty miles diftarit
from the place of meeting. The whole num
ber who fell must have amounted to many hun
dreds. It was thought th,t more than two
hundred were down at one time. Many were
exercised with very great apparent fevefity,and
the time of continuation was very different up
on different fubjeCts; from thirty hours (and
some were longer) to two, and some were up
in less time. Some indeed appeared to be ex
ceedingly diftreffcd, and considerably exercised
who Were not struck down, but walked to their
tents, with the assistance of one or two perfonk,
where, after laying a few hours, they became
comforted and composed in a tolerable degree,
and some of them in a very extraordinary de
gree.
We had hoped our community was
free from persons who could commit so
ungenerous and Unprovoked an attack
upon a stranger so fully entitled to our
refped. This little society has hereto
fore been famed for a generous" hospi
tality. That so sacred a duty, hitherto
our boast, and even by savages, refpedt
ed, should now, for the firft time, be
violated; that a gentleman, every
where else honoured and refpeded for
his talents and his virtues, should here
be treated with indignity, and even de
nied an undisturbed enjoyment of the
benefits of our climate, is to us a fub
jeft of the deepest mortification. We
cannot attempt to excuse or extenuate
so unpardonable a breach of the laws
of hofpltality ; so grois a violation of
the common rights of humanity. We
can only, in common with the great
body of our fellow-citizens, who with
us feel for the honor of this town, la
ment the evil and deprecate its conse
quences.
That you may ever continue to en
joy, what you so eminently deferve,the
good opinion of all who revere integri
ty and talents, is, fir, out most ardent
and sincere willi.

The above address has been handed

fully believe to be an unfounded abuse
of a refpedable stranger, and in those
of esteem of his general character, and
cordial wishes for his welfare. But as
it is expressed a style which those of

Gentlemen,
I receive with great respect the flut

politeness; It is the benevolent dispen
sation of Providence that every evil

and the base and cowardly attack of
an anonymous wanderer has been am
ply compensated to me by theaffurances
of your refped and esteem; these as
surances, this pledge of your partiality
and favor, are peculiarly gratifying to
me, at a time when the cUlls of domes

my absence from my family, upon
whom no less than upon myfelf, an im
preflien.has been made by this ad of
kindness and attention to our feelings,
which the effort of any unworthy indi

power—the power of God. ks further Support
of this belief, a strong judgment arises from
the effect of the operation itfclf: 'the pleadings,
profeffions, and declarations of the fubjeds,
when under the exercises, after they recover the
use of speech, are the fame with what we have
defefibed in the gospel, as the declaration of the
conviction of fin, righteousness and judgment..
" We End that Saul, of Tarsus, was flruck
down, made blind, and trembled, who had been
a violent persecutor of the church of God,.and
who was converted in that extraordinary man

Lord,and became the great apoflic of the Gen
tiles. ~
" If this is the power of God difffayed amongst
us of which I cannot entertain a doubt) I mull
leave you to conjecture why this power is thus
manifefted, kt this time, and in this particular
and uncommon manner. The answer of this

human wisdom —it is hid from our eyes.
" It mzy-be to bring about some great event,
or design of Providence, for purposes which we
can neither conceive, nor comprehend.

formality in things of religion make this miracu
lous mercy of God necessarily exhibited amongst
us, to shew his power, and to convince of fin,
righteousness and judgment. But these things
arc too deep for me."
WE entertain too high a refpeft for
your character, and have too much at
heart the honor of the town we live in,
to hear of your approaching departure

the people of Wacccamaw were, conse

" The government has imposed a
,tax or contribution on the inhabitants
of the Island, as follows ; On women
resident in the colony, 6 dollars per
head ; on men of the poorest class,
without diferimiriatidn of color, 8 dol
lars—American merchants from 750
to 900 dollars ; French merchants, 450-
to 600 ; one halt to be paid down, and
the residue in 30 days. In case of de
fault, 5 per cent, for one month is to
be erased, and then an arrtft and sale
of property without delay.
" Independent of those taxes, they
have caused every American resident
