New-York, Oct. 31.
At a Meeting of Respectable Inhabitants of Berkeley county, Virginia,
Resolved, That it is the opinion of the gentlemen now met, that the United States are under the greatest obligation to the members of the late Convention, for their assiduity and perseverance in accomplishing the plan of Federal government.
Resolved, That two gentlemen now present do wait upon the clergymen of different persuasions in this county, and request them to prepare a sermon, to be preached at every place of worship, on the Sabbath they think most proper, to return thanks in a special manner to Almighty God, for inspiring the members of the late memorable Convention with unity, wisdom, and unanimity to form a federal government with so great judgment, and sound policy, amidst so many and various interests.
Resolved, That the members of the present meeting do pledge themselves to one another, to contribute all in their power to establish and support the plan of federal government proposed by the late convention, as it appears sufficient and well adapted to secure peace, liberty, and safety, to the citizens of the United States.
Done at Martenburgh, the 28th day of September, 1787.
Extract of a letter from Augusta, Sept. 22.
"We have it from the most unquestionable authority, that, on the latter part of last week, Lieut. Col. Barber, of Colonel Freeman's battalion, went out upon the line upon the Appalachi, with a small reconnoitering party of eight, and that, a little above the Big Shoals, they were first discovered by a party of Indians, who had time to divide and lie down on either side of an old trail, and fired on the party as they were going to pass: That Col. Barber was wounded in both hands, his bridle reins shot in two, and his horse wounded; himself was thrown, with three men who were mortally wounded. In this situation they retreated, without being pursued. Gen. Clarke, upon being informed of this little disaster, ordered some men to be collected, and immediately marched to that quarter, and it is hoped will at least be able to discover the force of the Indians at present on our borders. Col. Barber thinks the party of Indians who attacked him consisted of about 40.
"We are informed from Greene county, that, on Friday the 14th inst. a party of Indians killed a man in Greenborough, in sight of one of the forts; the savages run off with such precipitation that every attempt made to overtake them proved fruitless.
"Arthur Fort, Esq. a Member for Wilkes county, informs us, that Major Ledbetter appeared before him and made oath to the following: On Monday the 17th inst. some Indians came to Buffalo Creek, in the county of Washington, about 12 miles from the Oconee, killed and scalped a lad of about 12 years of age, and shot a girl about 9 years old through the breast and thighs, and took two scalps off her head; they were both at work in the fields, a small distance from the dwelling house. The girl, notwithstanding the wounds she received, recovered her senses some time after, and says that she saw about five or six Indians. They made no attempt on the house."
Extract of a letter from Gen. Cooke, at Mulberry Grove, state of Franklin, to Major Elholm, at Augusta; dated August 28, 1787.
"Col. Lypton the other day, appeared with a party of about 50 men, of such as he could raise, under pretence of redressing a quarrel that had arisen between our Sheriff and the Sheriff of North Carolina, though their principal view was to put themselves in possession of our records. This conduct produced a most rapid report, that they had made a prisoner of his Excellency to carry him to North Carolina, which caused 200 volunteers to repair immediately to the house of Col. Typton, before they became sensible of the mistake; and it was only through the influence of his Excellency that the opposite party did not fall a sacrifice to our Franks. During this time a body of about 1500 veterans embodied themselves in order to rescue their Governor (as they thought) out of the hands of the North Carolinians, and bring him back to the mountains; - an instance that proves our citizens to have too noble a spirit to yield to slavery, or to relish a national insult."
Married, on Saturday Evening last, at Elizabeth-Town, by the Rev. Doctor Chandler, Aaron Ogden, Esq. to Miss Betsy Chettwood, daughter of John Chettwood, Esq. both of that place.
For the Daily Advertiser.
Mr. Childs,
OBSERVING in Mr. Loudon's paper several smart cuts of late against the Episcopalians, I have wondered and was very sorry that you'd not keep equal pace with him. I am your friend, Mr. Childs, and, as such, I warn you to take care, or he will get to windward of you; for tho' Sam. is orthodox in religious matters, he is a supple hand
in printing matters; at least, Shepard Kollock says so. Now, Mr. Childs, being, as I said before, your friend, and being moreover a friend to the cause, I thought I would throw in my mite to support it, and your paper. And I do not think I can do it better, than by bringing forward again the several admired pieces to which I have alluded; for tho' a republication may be thought inferior to original composition, and Sam. may seem to have the advantage by having got the maidenhead, I shall add such commentaries, and scatter such embellishments, over them as will set you fully on an equality with him.
Come forward first our friend AMICUS: This gentleman has appeared, as I believe, in the Daily Advertiser already; for he took care that his production should issue from two places at the same instant, as generals confound and distract the enemy by a well timed assault from different quarters; but Amicus can never appear too often; he should be published and published on, to the end of the world. A few months since some impertinent members of the Episcopal church announced in the newspapers the arrival of Dr. Provost, Bishop of New-York; for which Amicus corrected their presumption most soundly, shewing that there are many Bishops in New-York. And he was certainly right, for I myself could count you up nine, besides stragglers, in this city. It is a clear case that every Presbyter is a Bishop, in the scripture sense of the word; and I have hopes that we shall be able to make out by and by that every Deacon too is really and truly a Bishop. O happy day, should it come! And who then but Bishop L—N! However in the mean time we have established enough to destroy the monopoly, and to teach the good Doctor, as Amicus with a very becoming familiarity tells him, that he should not file himself Bishop of New-York, but one of the Bishops of New-York (for there are many, very many Bishops in New-York); or he may call himself, as the above named author allows, Episcopal Bishop. This is a phrase which is much talked of as peculiarly happy and expressive, being of the same nature as a clerical Clergyman, a Presbyterian Presbyter, and the like. But let not those saucy gentry assume, exclusively, a title to which we have equal right. It is true, when we were under British government we detested the name of Bishop, as "the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel;" but did we love the name of Governor? And yet what wise man would now, on that account, decline the office or title? In the same manner, since we are now a free people, have we not as good a right to have Bishops as Episcopalians? We have and we will maintain it.
The next occasion upon which we made a figure in print was, when Doctor White, one of the Bishops in Pennsylvania, preached a charity Sermon in this city, and it was announced in the papers by some of his arrogant party as having been preached for the relief of Clergymen's widows. Then appeared A FRIEND TO EQUAL LIBERTY. This was the same friend that appeared for us before. He had translated his first name into English, and made some addition to it, but I knew him at a glance, the same characteristic and commendable bitterness was abundantly conspicuous (can the Ethiopian change his skin?). Nay, I thought I could trace in every letter the crabbed lines of his dear, dismal, long, meagre face. In this his second excellent production, he shewed most clearly from the above-mentioned paragraph, that, since the sermon was confessedly preached for the benefit of none but the widows of Episcopalians, and since it is there asserted that the said sermon was preached for the relief of Clergymen's widows, therefore certain of the said Episcopalians do call themselves Clergymen; which is not to be borne, since thereby they by implication assert, that there are no other Clergymen. Perhaps, Mr. Childs, you may think it odd that these people having barely called themselves Clergymen, should have given so much offence. But if you do, you know nothing at all of the matter. We must all have observed that the assertion of one's being this or that, will often be taken in dudgeon by another, and so it is likewise with respect to the negative.
For my part, I think every assertion of an Episcopalian, that he is a Clergyman, an unwarrantable affront to our Clergy, thereby obliquely inferring that they are not Clergymen. Nor do I see any reason why these people should be allowed to call of their Churches St. Paul's; for by that they undoubtedly mean that St. Paul has nothing to do with any of our's: whereas they keep him on the out-side, while we bring him into the inside of our Churches. Many other such abuses, which call loudly for correction, I may notice hereafter.
But now comes forward our friend, for the third and last time, by the name of PAULUS. And he comes now as a wag. Well, they talk of the English, Scotch and Irish, but of all wit commend me, to our own sheer hum-spun wit. That Paulus did so make me laugh; and I went home to the old woman, and I made her laugh heartily;
how he was taking to pieces the poor Rector of Brooklyn and his ordination sermon. Rector indeed! What right, Mr. Childs, have those people to assume such fine titles? Is it not insinuating that our Clergy are not Rectors? Must it not be provoking to a man, who knows himself to have ten times Mr. Wright's abilities, who is a very great orator, the very pattern of pulpit eloquence, to be stiled only an assistant, whilst Mr. Wright is called Rector? A pretty Rector truly! Would not he make a fine figure, Mr. Childs, in the North Church? I don't know whether he will ever shew his face in New-York again. I'm sure if I had got such a mauling, I would have run to the farthest corner of the world, or even into the sea, where the serpents were drowned by Saint Patrick (it is Paulus' own spelling; there he gives a severe and new cut to the brogue) that I might cover myself from the disgrace. This new Rector, says Paulus, is come to rectify us all. Ha! ha! ha! Now, what is Joe Miller to this? The Rector will rectify us all, he says.
Paulus, I believe, has put the Rector from saying much in his sermons, for the future, about serpents; for he has shewn, that, having been educated in Ireland, he probably never saw one in his life; and, therefore, could not possibly know any thing about their properties. All this is very true; and there is another puppy, from Ireland too, one Goldsmith, who pretends to give an history of all animated nature. I'm sure he never saw one hundredth part of them; and yet there are fools that will read him. I wish Paulus would give us a piece on that subject.
As to his gibes on Trinity College, in and about the University of Dublin, he has exhibited that nursery of ignorance in a light so supremely ridiculous, that I cannot possibly hope to encrease the contempt that will fall upon it. As I said before, of all wit commend me to our own sheer hum-spun; so I say now, of all scholars, give me our own hum-spun scholars. The last rub upon the poor Rector of Brooklyn, which I shall mention, is in these words: "Why should the Rector put his candle under the bushel of Brooklyn?" There Joe Miller may hide his head again. Locke, in his definition of wit, says it is essential that the witticism be not obvious. Now this is pure wit, for I'll be hang'd if any one can accuse it of being obvious. But I can explain it. The word bushel Paulus has put in Italics, to imply a wipe at the people of Brooklyn, who fell and measure their potatoes, turnips, or apples by the bushel; or, which is still more ingenious, he asks Mr. Wright why he should put his candle under the bushel of Brooklyn, intimating that Mr. Wright's Church, at Brooklyn, is not bigger than a bushel. Now, Mr. Childs, don't you laugh? And Paulus says the truth, I assure you; for Brooklyn Church is not a bit bigger than a bushel. I am sure it is not so large as the pulpit in the North Church. Farther, by asking, why should the Rector put his candle under the bushel of Brooklyn, Paulus very sarcastically seems to glance at an ambition in the Rector to get an establishment in the vicinity of this city; and, at the same time, leads him to a very mortifying comparison between himself, who vainly languishes for such promotion, and our great Orator, whose candle, not long ago, was hid under a bushel in the country, but now blazes in the largest Church in New-York.
I have nothing more to add, but an hearty exhortation to Paulus, that he persevere in his rancorous pursuit of the whole Episcopalian tribe; and, especially, of the Rector of Brooklyn; and that he carefully avoid being diverted by the mistaken moderation of some Clergymen, who claim kindred with us, and affect the character of liberal men. They will say, that it is hard for the public to decide on scraps of sermons, which perhaps may be widely distorted from the meaning they have in the context. They will say, that great allowance should be made for time and place; and that Mr. Wright's general character has not the least resemblance to that of a bigot. But let Paulus be assured that those who entertain such sentiments, if they are not from the same despicable Island as the Rector of Brooklyn, will be found to have been neighbours to it. I am told that the inhabitants of Ireland were once called Scots; a clear proof that it was either peopled from Scotland, or Scotland from it. And indeed the two nations seem very much alike. They are sunk in the same ignorance, and possessed of the same impudence. I am told that the only difference is, that the greater part of the people, in one country, run wild upon barren mountains, called Highlands; and, in the other, on barren flat-lands, called Bogs.

To the PUBLIC.
HAVING yesterday, late in the afternoon, re- ceived information of a report circulating here, that Peter Landais---(who was an officer in the Continental Army, commanded in Europe in the late war, and was, in America, broke, and rendered incapable of public service, by a Court martial--- for matters of a date subsequent to, and unconnected with, the charges I made against him in Europe; which are of a nature to call his life in question, and of which the most material proofs have never been published, but are lodged in the office of Foreign Affairs)---did personally insult me in this city on Friday last, by spitting in my face; I take this me- thod to declare, that the said report is an absolute falshood: it being impossible that such an insult should have been offered to me with impunity, un- der any circumstances whatever.

New-York AIR FURNACE.  PETER T. CURTENIUS and CO. have repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the necessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory of Cast Iron in the completest and best manner. Castings made in an Air Furnace, are allowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Foundries, to be better than what is made in a Blast Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace, the ware is made out of the softest and best Pig Metal, and, by its being melted a second time, the scoria, or dross, is expelled, and nothing but the pure Metal remains. In a Blast Furnace, the Castings are made out of the first smelting of the crude Ore, and are more or less spongy, and often full of cold shuts: the difference, in short, is nearly the same as there is between refined and Bloomery Iron.---The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as light, as smooth, and as good as any imported from Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware being as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manufactures of his own country; but a more powerful argument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported ware, chiefly owing to a duty of six pounds per ton being laid on foreign castings. The ware manufactured at this Furnace, consists of the following articles, viz. Pots and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons, tea kettles, pye-pans, skillets, griddles, potash kettles and coolers, whaling-kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cases, cast bars for sugar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for flattening-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close stoves for work-shops, Franklin stoves neatly decorated with carved work, Bath stoves-grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's cabouses of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread; mill-roads and gudgeons, saw-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearlashes, cast iron terrews for fulling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, flash-weighs, forges, hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundred, quarters, fourteen and seven pound weights; cart, waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and sulkey boxes, &c. &c. N. B. Persons who want any backs, or other ware, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to send their patterns and orders to the FURNACE , near Mr. Atlee's Brewery, or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENIUS , No. 48, Great Dock-street, near the Exchange. Oct. 15. 6m
