Extract from "An Act concerning Public Roads." Passed by the legislature of Virginia in the year 1786, and which is now obligatory in Alexandria County, District of Columbia.
Section III. The several courts shall also divide all the public roads into precincts, and as often as it shall be necessary appoint a Surveyor over every precinct, whose duty it shall be to superintend the road in his precinct, and see that the same be cleared and kept in good repair; which Surveyor shall continue in office until another shall be appointed by the said court in his stead.
IV. All male labouring persons, of the age of sixteen years or more, except such as are masters of two or more male labouring slaves, of the age of sixteen years or more, shall be appointed by the court to work on some public road: For every person so appointed, who, when required by the Surveyor or placed over him, shall, without legal cause or disability, fail to attend, with proper tools for clearing the road, or shall refuse to work when there, or to find some other person equally able, to work in his room, the sum of seven shillings and six-pence for every day's offence shall be paid by himself, if he be a free man of full age, if an infant, then by his parent, guardian, or master, and if a slave or servant, than by his overseer, if he be under one, or otherwise, by his master.
V. The clerk of every county court shall, within ten days after the appointment of any Surveyor of a road, deliver a copy of the order to the sheriff of the county, under the penalty of fifteen shillings: and the sheriff, within fifteen days after the receipt of such order, shall deliver the same to the Surveyor, under the penalty of fifteen shillings. And each clerk shall moreover once in every year, fix up in the courthouse a list of the names and precincts of all the Surveyors of roads in his county, under the penalty of fifty shillings for every neglect.
VI. Every Surveyor of a road shall cause the same to be constantly kept well cleared and smoothed, and thirty feet wide at the least; and at the fork or crossing of every public road, shall cause to be erected and kept in repair from time to time, a stone, or otherwise an index on a post or tree, with plain inscriptions thereon, in large letters, directing to the most noted place to which each of the said roads shall lead, and may take stone or wood for that purpose from any adjoining land; and for the expence of setting up and inscribing such stones, posts, or indexes, and keeping them in repair, the Surveyor shall be reimbursed by the county court in their next succeeding levy; and where bridges and causeys are necessary the Surveyor shall cause them to be made, twelve feet broad at the least, convenient and safe, and shall keep the same in repair, and for that purpose may cut and take from the lands of any person adjoining, such, and so much timber, earth, or stone, as may be necessary, the same being first viewed and valued by two honest house-keepers appointed and sworn for that purpose, by a justice of the peace, unless the owner shall freely give such timber, stone, or earth, for that use; but where a road leads through a city or town, the Surveyor shall not take any timber, stone, or earth, from any lot within the town, without the permission of the owner, but shall take the same from the lands nigh or adjacent to the said town, where it will do the least injury to the proprietor; and where the assistance of wheel-carriages is necessary for making or repairing any causeys, any justice of peace may issue his warrant, under his hand and seal, for empowering the Surveyor to impress such necessary carriages, draught horses, or oxen, with their gear and driver, belonging to any person who, or their servants or slaves, are appointed to work on the road, and appointing two honest house-keepers, who being sworn, shall value, by the day, the use of such carriages, draught horses, oxen, and driver, which valuation, with a certificate from the Surveyor how many days the said things were employed in the work, shall entitle the owner to an allowance for the same in the next county levy. And in the like manner shall the owner of timber, stone, or earth, taken for bridges or causeys, be entitled to the valuation thereof in the next county levy, upon a certificate from the two house-keepers who value the same. Every Surveyor of a road, who fails to do his duty as a-
foresaid, shall forfeit fifteen shillings for every offence.
VII. Where a bridge or causey shall be necessary, and the Surveyor, with his assistants, cannot make or maintain the same, the court of the county are empowered and required to contract for the building and repairing such bridge or causey, and to levy the charge thereof in their county levy. And where such bridge or causey shall be necessary from one county to another, the court of each county shall join in the agreement for building and repairing the same, and the charge shall be defrayed by both counties, in proportion to the public tax or assessment paid by each. Upon every such contract or agreement, both bond and security shall be given by the undertaken, payable to the governor and his successors, for the use of the county or counties, as the case shall be, with condition for performing the same, & may be prosecuted at the costs, and for the benefit of the county or counties, or any person sustaining a loss by the breach thereof, as often as it shall happen, until the whole penalty of the bond shall be paid. And all such contracts made by county courts, or others appointed by them, shall be available and binding upon the justices and their successors, so as to entitle the undertaker to his stipulated reward in the county levy, or to a recovery thereof, with costs by action of debt, against the justices refusing to levy the same.

July 19th.
The Board of health are happy to inform the public, that by the Report of their Committee, it appears that only one person has been taken sick with fever in the vicinity of Vine-street, since the 15th inst. There remain sick in the same neighbourhood, with
fever, six persons, 2 of whom are considered dangerously ill.
Notwithstanding the present favourable appearances, the Board of Health are of opinion that while a malignant disease exists, the citizens ought to be on their guard to avoid all intercourse with persons afflicted with malignant fever, and to suspend visiting houses where sickness prevails.

From the Aurora of July 17.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE AURORA.
At the close of the session of congress which ended on the 1st of June, 1796, the secretary of war placed five hundred dollars in my hands, to be carried to Pittsburg, for the purpose of compensating certain persons engaged in tracing and detecting the progress and mischievous intrigues of emissaries, employed on the western frontiers and among the Indian tribes, by a foreign power, unfriendly to the United States. The money was advanced with the knowledge of the president and all the heads of department. Before the 1st of August, 1796, I paid over the whole sum to the persons thus engaged. The man principally active in this delicate business, exacted an absolute promise that his name should remain secret. The dependent circumstances and local situation of this man, forbid a disclosure of his name, had no such promise been made. The whole transaction passed within the knowledge of general Wayne, governor St. Clair, and H. H. Brackenridge, Esq. General Wayne, who was charged with the ultimate direction of this business, is no more, general St. Clair is ready to confirm the fact; and judge Brackenridge, who stands very high in the confidence of the present administration, by his letters, dated the 1st inst. authorises me thus publicly to own, that the sum of five hundred dollars was paid by me at the time, for the purpose, under the promise of secrecy, and with the knowledge of himself, of gen. Wayne, and governor St. Clair, as I have above stated—that the whole transaction was innocent, prudent, meritorious. The books of the account of the war department shew that the money was advanced at the time I have mentioned, and it cannot be pretended that any other public money was ever paid into my hands.
In the summer of 1799, the accountant wrote to me, that I was charged with the sum of five hundred dollars, and desired that I should send vouchers to close the account. When congress assembled in the December following, I gave his letter to one of the heads of department, all of whom having been in office when the money was advanced, perfectly knew the nature of the service rendered, and the stipulation of secrecy which for bad the filing of a receipt in the usual form. I therefore presume it was settled as a secret contingent expense of the war or indian department, under the appropriation for these purposes, by act of congress 1st June, 1796.
The public records of the accountant prove that this money came into my hands in June, 1796. The authority of judge Brackenridge will not be doubted, that I paid it away in July, 1796 long before the election or administration of Mr. Adams, and before my name was mentioned, or thought of as a candidate at the Pennsylvania election of 1799.
As to Mr. Lewis, who is said to have been an agent for the war department, and to have had public monies in his hands about the same time, I know nothing of the man, or his employment, or delinquency. I may have seen him, occasionally, in the public offices; but never had the slightest acquaintance or connection with him, at any time of my life. The assertion that Mr. Lewis's receipt and mine happened to be on the same day, proves, however, that the author of the calumny had access to the public books, and knew the real time that the money was first advanced in 1796; but chose to distort facts and dates, so as to connect it with 1799, and thereby give plausibility to his suspicion of electioneering corruption, as base in its nature as pitiful in its extent.
Pittsburgh, 9th July, 1802.
JAMES ROSS.
REMARKS.
"The whole of the transactions to which Mr. Rofs alludes for which the secret service money mentioned was applied the Editor was possessed of before the re-
ceipt of Mr. Rofs's letter, and an article was prepared on the subject, which is suppressed in order to give place to this letter."
Was ever a country insulted with such impudence and falsehood. Almost every Aurora for a long time, has endeavored to stigmatize Mr. Rofs for making use of the public money for the purpose of forwarding his election. And now when the circumstances are made known, behold the editor knew of the transaction. Base and impudent beyond example. He tells us to be sure, not that he intended to give a correct statement, to the public, but that "an article was prepared on the subject." But unless Mr. Rofs had come forward to confute the calumny, the author would have continued to propagate it, as long as his slanders were read and he rewarded. But this is among the arts of an able editor. When Duane charged the suppression of Wood's history on the federalists he knew very well the whole transaction, and that it was done by col. Burr. But this direct lie, and scandalous calumny, was only the art of an able editor, says the learned Mr. Cheetham. When Duane published the million of defalcations, he knew it was false but he could not support the character of an able editor, without such little lies. The degeneracy of the times has been a frequent theme of declamation for the politician and moralist. Americans must certainly have degenerated from their sires; or it could never happen that an illiterate & unprincipled foreigner should be permitted to propagate the most atrocious falsehoods, against the reputation of the first characters in the country, impudently acknowledging them, and to be openly rewarded for the infamous conduct, by the administration. As for Duane, he is nothing—left to himself he would soon sink to his proper level or rise to that unenvied and deserved height, long since due to his merits. But what shall we think of those who encourage support and reward him. I blush for my country at the answer.
"It is to be inquired, independent of the merits of the application, under what authority or law the money was issued—for no law authorises the war department to issue even a contingent expence but for an express and not a concealed service or rather it was issued without legal authority; for admitting, and we shall, admit in its fullest latitude, that the use to which the money was applied, would have been not only proper, but wise under the circumstances alledged, if legal."
"The expence was not only proper, but wise, under the circumstances alledged." It is but a few days since the secret service money to Rofs; was a fine subject to excite the jealousies and alarm the suspicions of the people, against the administration & Mr. Rofs; when Duane knew that Mr. Rofs, at least, had acted not only proper but wise. Will any man believe that Duane was not acquainted long since with the whole transaction, both from Judge Brackenridge and the public officers? He now affects to turn off the attention, by considering the legality of the appropriation. This question has nothing to do with it as it effects Mr. Rofs, who was a mere agent. Nor does it in the least justify Duane for the suspicions he endeavoured to excite against Mr. Rofs's character.
"Of the transactions of Lewis, Mr. Rofs has unnecessarily taken the trouble to acquit himself. But Mr. Rofs has either misunderstood, or presumed more than was implied in the connection of Lewis's name with his. The circumstance of connection was wholly founded on the certificates for the secret service money to Mr. Rofs, and the secret service money to Mr. Lewis, being both dated and issued on the same day and date. This was such a fact as, without explanation, must necessarily have placed the two issues in the same department on the same date, under a common suspicion."
This is a new discovery, Because the certificates of Mr. Rofs and Mr. Lewis were dated and issued on the same day and from the same department, they must therefore be connected. If that were the case Mr. Duane, you will find very few to transact business in the same office and on the same day with you.
The remainder of his remarks is taken up in endeavouring to exculpate himself by abusing Mr. Rofs. Duane may well be attached to this kind of logic, as it has frequently been serviceable to him; but the time may arrive, when the public will demand something more satisfactory. Walb. Red.

PALSIED by deleterious drugs, Prescribed by ONE, whose fir st duty it was To cherish and support her — And Administered with savage and malignant pleasure, By EMPIRICS, Who had sworn to be her Physicians, — Fell — on THURSDAY the 1st inst. THE JUDICIARY OF THE U. STATES. The fairest DAUGHTER OF the FEDERAL CONSTITUTION.
The Deed Was the more barbarous, As it was perpetrated without provocation On a gentle, and unoffending victim: — Whose uncorruptible integrity, and filial piety, “ Which grew with her growth and Strengthened with her strength.” (If permitted to mature) Would have enabled her effectually to resist Every Outrage Which ambition, party rage or intolerance Might have attempted. Against her revered PARENT.
The Following Was the order of the Procession At the INTERMENT: — MELANCHOLY AND PATIENCE, [Bearing a mourning banner, with this inscription, “ Help Lord, for the faithful sail from amongst the Children of Men.”]
Pall Support- ers. PATRIOTISM. VIRTUE. INDEPEND- ENCE. Pall Support- ers. PUBLIC CRE- DIT. HONOR. SHADE OF WASHING- TON.
Chief Mourners. The CONSTITUTION — [In sable habiliments and Cypress veil. — A standard followed, with this motto, “ ‘Twill be recorded for a prece- dent; and many an error, by the same example, will rush into the State.”]
JUSTICE and CIVIL LIBERTY. [The scales of the former broken, and the volume of the latter torn in pieces.] NATIONAL GLORY, With her spear reversed, her shield broken, and encircled with a scroll — “ My splendor is departed.” PUBLIC CONFIDENCE AND PRI- VATE FAITH, Walked with dejected countenance, try- ing to support each other.
Then followed The Immortal Spirits of WARREN, PRESCOTT, WOOSTER, MONT- GOMERY, MERCER, SCAMMEL, and other departed worthies. Sorrow was deeply impressed on the coun- tenances of this interesting groupe; before whom went a Cherub weeping, holding out a label — “ If she rise not — ye have fought and died in vain.”
Though the mantle of oblivion is spread over her body, And the fiat of Posterity has pronounced — “ We shall see her face no more.”
We mourn not, Like those without hope: We believe “ She is not dead, but sleepeth;” And, that in due time, Some Political HUMANE SOCIETY will arise, which, rescuing her from Appa- rent Death, shall restore her To HEALTH, VIGOR, and USEFUL- NESS,
And to the embraces Of her now bereaved RELATIVES. Until then, Her memory shall be embalmed in the Affections of our Country: — And she shall be remembered in the Orai- fins of the GREAT AND GOOD: — Whose Prayers will not be unheard nor unregarded.
Her Remains Were deeply deposited in the family
Sepulchre of THE CONSTITUTION: And placed in the same Niche with those of the Late FEDERAL ADMINISTRATI- ONS.
Extract of a letter from Mr. F. Beeley, Proprietor of the American Coffee House, at Cape Francois, to the Editor of the New-York Mercantile Advertiser, dated July 1, 1802.
“ I have closed you a list of American vessels now here, which are but few, though the markets are very high for many arti- cles exported from America, such as fish, beef, pork and lumber of all kinds. E- very thing here is quiet, but the sickness prevails among the troops and the inhabi- tants, inasmuch that from 30 to 40 die daily, and sometimes more. Many Ame- ricans have fallen victims to the prevailing disorder. Arrivals from France are fre- quent. On the 30th ult. came in the ship Melpomene, Johnston in 37 days from London. We have but two or three ves- sels direct from America for a month past; to what cause this is owing we know not.

“ Death loves a shining mark, a signal blow; “ A blow, which, while it executes, alarms, “ And startles thousands with a single fall.”
On Friday last, Miss ELIZA MAR- SHALL, only daughter of Humphrey Mar- shall, Esq. was unfortunately killed by lightning. We understand she was in the portico leaning against one of the posts — the lightning struck the end of the house, was conducted down the post against which she rested, and communicated to her breast — She instantly expired. In miss M. were united all the virtues and accomplishments that could endear her to her friends and relations, who have to de- plore their loss.

Ten Dollars Reward.
Ran away from the subscriber living in Stafford County, on Tuesday, the 6th instant, a likely negro man, nam- ed GEORGE, of a dark complexion, about Twenty-Six years of age, by trade a blacksmith. He is about Six feet high, stutters very much, and is fond of liquor, when intoxicated he is very impudent and quarrelsome. As he went away without the least provocation, he will no doubt en- deavour to pass as a freeman, and I expect he has obtained a pass for that purpose. When he went away, he wore a bath coat- ing cloth coat, but this as well as his name he will probably change.
The above reward, and all reasonable expenses will be paid, if taken in Virgi- nia, and Twenty Dollars if taken in Mary- land, to any person who will deliver him to me in Stafford county, or secure him in any jail or bridewell, so that I get him again. I think it probable he may be lurking about Alexandria or Colchester, having lived at the latter place some time ago.
