PROSPECTUS OF A PAPER
TO BE PRINTED IN ALEXANDRIA,
ENTITLED,
THE COLUMBIAN.
THE Subscriber, anxious to establish a Paper whose contents and principles will be satisfactory to the moderate or both parties, presents to his friends and the liberal public in general, the following outlines of his plan, hoping that they may be consonant to feelings warm in the defence of liberty and the true interests of the country.
The work will at all times be open to the discussion of political matters, destitute of rancor on the one hand, or of overweening partiality on the other. The Editor's selections shall be made with care and attention, never sacrificing for any purpose the real interest of the community, or wandering from the established standard of truth.
In the natural course of affairs, it will sometimes be necessary, from a want of political matter, that the columns of a paper should be supplied with moral disquisitions, practically useful and interesting, and instructive anecdotes from historic research. Nor can this course be well objected to by those whose feelings are alive to the cause of genuine morality and religion. The Editor calculates with confidence upon receiving from those whose education and means of information will authorize it, a copious supply of materials on these subjects. His paper will be at all times open to receive the reflections of the man of science, or the deep research of the critical scholar.
Communications upon all matters, touching Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures, together with plans for the general improvement in Canals, public Roads, and the various discoveries in any branch of learning or the mechanic arts, will be particularly sought after, and punctually inserted.
The editor, earnestly desirous to conciliate parties, will use his most strenuous endeavors to effect so desirable an object—and in the town of Alexandria, where he is attached by the strongest ties of nature, and of interest, he will ever consider it as a primary object, to destroy those seeds of dissention which have had the tendency to retard the growth and prosperity of the town. It is obvious to the most superficial observer, that the minutiae of politics cause a difference of sentiment, and not those general and universally admitted maxims in governmental institutions.
The principles of the great and illustrious Washington, together with his services, shall ever be revered.
The editor is far from desiring to impose on the minds of those who may favor him with their patronage, that his mind has assumed no stand on the important subject of politics, not on the contrary, he unequivocally declares, that his sentiments are decidedly republican.
As soon as 400 subscribers shall be obtained this paper will be printed, weekly, at 2 1/2 cents per ann. payable, half yearly, in advance, after the receipt of the first number.
It will be printed with a neat type, and on good paper of the ordinary size.
If adequate encouragement should be offered, after the commencement of the paper, it will be published three times a week.
Having made arrangements for the necessary materials, and contracted with a gentleman of abilities to assist in the execution of the work, the citizens of Alexandria will be immediately waited on for their patronage—Subscription papers will also be left at the Coffee House and at the principal Book Stores,
T. Longden.

WILL BE PUBLISHED
IN A PAMPHLET AT THIS OFFICE IN A SHORT TIME,
AN ADDRESS
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES:
Tending to shew that by a due encouragement of these essential interests, the nation will be rendered more respectable abroad and more prosperous at home.
TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Arlington,
The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. of Arlington House, in the District of Columbia.
AT a time when the energies of the nation seem awakened to the state of our foreign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a considerable share of the public discussion. Certain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign affairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their support. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will promote the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our province to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands—And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and confidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.
EDITOR.
Printers in the U. States will please to give this advertisement an insertion in their respective papers, and such as demand it will be paid at this office. Booksellers supplied on liberal terms, and all orders will be punctually attended to.

LETTER
From a gentleman in the interior of N. Hampshire, to his friend in Boston. June 15, 1808.
DEAR SIR. The change of political sentiments in this state, within a few months, has been almost too great for your belief. In truth, this state was not so democratic, as from the elections you would imagine.
be quiet and contented; and would so have remained, but for the republican influence has been made with the people...
"There can be no wonder at the great change which to appearance has taken place in the state. First, it is to be considered, that the majority never were decidedly democratic...
"The idea of not trusting the merchants with the management of their own property, is treated with great ridicule. In every gathering of the people...
"Great complaints are made of the apathy or inertness of their former federal leaders—they hope they will arouse from their stupor.
The present legislature are democratic, and undoubtedly Madisonians, Embargonians, &c. and would have chosen the electors if they had not dreaded the consequences.
Please to let me hear from you soon. Your friend, &c.
"P. S. I am sorry to inform you that we have disagreeable accounts of opposition being made to levying executions in different parts of the state.
FROM THE LONDON GLOBE. CURE OF HYDROPHOBIA.
Attested by the late Dr. Turnbull. Robert Dixon, a weaver, of Northam, Maine, near Berwick, was bitten by a dog known to be mad, on the 30th of July, 1781; and what is very uncommon in this case, was attacked on the same day in which he received the bite...

The mode of treatment was as follows: 1st. To the wounded leg a caustic was applied, which kept discharging from the first commencement of the symptoms, till some time after the cure. 2nd The leg was frequently bathed with warm oil. 3rd. A tea spoon full of the following electary was administered two or three times a day: Peruvian bark, in powder, one ounce; valerian, in powder, one ounce; camphor of antimony, one ounce; one drachm and a half; Russia castor, one ounce; musk, half a drachm; conserve of wormwood, four ounces; syrup of saffron, a sufficient quantity to form an electary. Opium was also liberally given to assuage the irritation and spasms. To the throat was applied a plaster, composed of opium, musk, camphor, assafoetida, and gum galbanum. The last application seemed to be more effectual than any other medicine employed. On recovering his intellects and speech, he declared he experienced the greatest relief from his plaster; and that in a short time after it was applied, he felt an agreeable and soothing warmth, descended from his throat to his leg, in the same course and direction that the spasmodic stricture had ascended; and all the complicated and painful symptoms progressively diminished, until a perfect recovery was accomplished. It is necessary, in this place, to mention as a farther and corroborating proof of the efficacy of this plaster, it was not had recourse to till the symptoms of hydrophobia had taken place. As this external application to the throat was attended with such happy success in the most dreadful stage of the disease, might it not have prevented the occurrence of this awful visitation altogether, had it been applied so soon as possible after the bite was received? It would certainly be recommended, at least to give it a trial, particularly as the mouth, throat, and other parts engaged in deglutition, form the principal seat of the disease; and as this malady, in my opinion, bears a strong affinity to urticaria and spasmodic affection, the remedies above detailed, still farther claim our most serious consideration, especially when their administration have been accompanied with such success. N. B. There are but two well authenticated cases recorded in the annals of British medicine, where patients have recovered after symptoms of hydrophobia have taken place, viz in the present case of Robert Dixon, and in the case of Elizabeth Bryan, as published by the late Dr. Nugent, of Bath.  W. TURNBULL.
PHILADELPHIA, July 2. Arrived, schooner Jefferson. Campbell, 30 days from Kingston. Off the west side of Jamaica was spoken by the British frigate Meleagris, bound to Port Royal with a deep loaded yellow sided schooner in tow, supposed to be a detained American. June 7th, off Colorados, fell in with a British homeward bound fleet, under convoy of two men of war brigs; the Orion and Sparrow was boarded by the latter and treated politely; kept in company with the fleet to the 19th. June 16th, off Maranilla reef, was boarded by the British man of war Fire Fly, Lieutenant Boyd, formerly the schooner Antelope, of Philadelphia and treated politely; the Fire Fly was thirty six hours from New Providence; Lieutenant Boyd informed captain C. that previous to his sailing, official accounts had been received at N. Providence of a naval action up the Mediterranean, between a British squadron of 8 sail of the line, and thirteen French; that the latter were completely beaten, having three taken and two sunk; and that their admiral, sir Richard Strachan, was killed; also, that Bonaparte had made Talleyrand king of Portugal. June 3rd, off Hatteras, spoke ship Medusa, outward, thirty eight days from Jamaica, bound to Boston.
By those who have for a number of years kept daily remarks on the weather and the state of the thermometer, yesterday is pronounced the warmest experienced in this city during the last ten years.

Our Foreign Relations in equal scales—May we cease to respect those that fail to respect us.  12th. The Congress of the United States—May they bear in recollection, the wisdom, firmness, and disinterested patriotism, which animated their forefathers this day 32 years, and may the course they take, at their next meeting, prove alike felicitous.  13th.

A corn shelling machine is advertised in a Kentucky paper, which may be worked with the ease of a common grindstone by hand, and will shell an hundred bushels of corn in a day. It may also be worked by a horse or water, and is very simple and not likely to get out of repair. The price of making it is about twenty dollars.
THE RESURRECTION. The following extract is taken from the fifth book of Mr. Stewart's Poem, where the author coming more immediately to his subject, apostrophises the sun on the morning of Resurrection. His description of the effects of the last Trumpet—the bursting of the tombs—awakening of the dead, &c. form a picture awfully sublime, and may enable our readers duly to appreciate the merits of the work. (Charleston Courier.)
Hail! glorious Orb! who since young time was born, Hast lit with smiles the rosy realms of morn; Herald of light and life! whose genial rays, O'er glad creation pour'd the vital blaze— Thou too must fade, when elemental war, With fiery rage dissolves each glittering star! Thou, radiant Moon! shalt lose thy milder light, And rule no more fair regent of the night! Ye beauteous planets, that triumphant roll; Ye stars, whose silver studs the vivid pole; All, all your worlds shall melt in fervent fire, And in one grave with death and time expire! Yet, yet awhile, O Sun! thy lustre shed, O'er the last morn, to light the slumbering dead, Then in proud majesty thy race resign, And own the hand that made thee was divine. As by Sicilia's isle are softly seen, Gay lemon groves and woodlands ever green, While o'er the bright blue sea no pinnace flies, Nor whispering zephyrs fan the glowing skies;— All, all is calm, no restless billows rave, Nor e'en an oar divides the plaintive wave; Till the dimm'd sky thick clouds of ashes spread, When the red lava gushes from its bed, And whelms the plain; the hissing torrents roar, Plough through the waves and boil along the shore; From the deep calm the dreamless sleep below, The heart, thus woke, the crash of worlds shall know,
Hark! in deep tone the bursting thunders roll, Rock the high sky and rend the echoing pole: Hark! to the awful blast in archangels sound, When the last trumpet shakes the world around: "Thou waning earth! resign each moulder'd form; Wake, sleeper wake, nor fear creation's storm! Ye ocean waves! where e'er your billows sweep, Yield the long dead from all your cosy deep, Disgorge your victims, every corse restore, Death has expired, and death shall be no more!" Swift through the lucid fields the Seraph's fly, Unbar the tombs, and lo! disclosed they lie— The marble ceremonies burst—in glad surprise Ope from long sleep the death-extinguished eyes, And view in chasten'd joy, and new amazement, O'er ether's vast unnumber'd visions blaze; Now the wide earth, from all her loneliest shores, Wakes ages past, the earliest dead restores; Fires every eye and shews every hand, From burning Sego to the Scythian land, From nameless climes the countless myriads move, To meet the awful majesty above! There, the dark colors of the torrid zone, There every shade the frigid regions own, Obey alike the trumpet's call, And their same judge the one great Lord of all! There too the sea, o'er all her trembling bed, Sees vital vigor nerve the scatter'd dead; Though the bleach'd bones in rude confusion lay, Ten thousand fathoms 'neath her briny way, Each shall know each, and every limb retain, Its long-lost pride of symmetry again. What lovely form, from yonder opening tomb, Rises to life, in beauty's fairest bloom? Close on her bosom smiles an infant fair, That seems impatient for the paths of air; One snowy arm the riven stone divides,— Swift through the chink, the rosy cherub glides! One gentle arm the eager boy restrains, Who, just released, the coyant azure gains! And on his cheek while beams of triumph glow, And from her eyes while dews of rapture flow, Around the heart hope's vivid splendors play, And charm their spirits to the realms of day. To the four winds of Heav'n, wide o'er the sky, On nimble plumes the floating cherubs fly; Heralds of God! In splendid phalanx steer, To urge the tardy, and the just to cheer; 'Mid starry spheres, to rule, with guard'n care The untried voyage through the deep of air. Now o'er the virtuous breast new pleasure steals, And all the soul celestial transport feels; Near, and more near, it views with fond surprise, Unnumber'd worlds in long succession rise, Sees the blue vault with thronging millions shine, And every orb its rival dead resign: And, nearer still, with eagle glance surveys The flaming sun, nor winks beneath the blaze. See! o'er his brow while lambent glories play, Immortal Newton feel the vital day;— He, whose rapt eye could search each distant sphere, Unseen, unheard, by other eye or ear, He, born to bless, improve, instruct mankind, And pour the blaze of science on the mind; He, whose high soul the paths of wisdom trod, And found all nature speak of Nature's God; Who, unseduc'd by philosophic pride, Proclaim'd the wonders of Omnipotence wide, And, from creations unexplor'd before, Taught man the source of Being to adore! Now woke from sleep, once more, with joy reviews The studded Heav'n's expand their silver hues. Dark as the gloom, when warring tempests o'er, Deep silent night enwraps the turbid shore. VOLTAIRE awakes!—the wild convulsive throes Of death's last shock yet speaks despair and woe; Emblem of that dread scene when vice no more Could dare her prince of infidels adore; Still, on his front indented horrors dwell, His livid lips still awful struggles tell, In terror's hour the Atheist clings to life, Though—God blaspheme—he urged him to the strife, He, who the band of impious sophists led, Now starting groans, and writhes him on his bed,

The situation is healthy, affords fine water, embraces the great advantages of proximity to the court house of the county, church, mills, tobacco inspections, navigations, fish, fowl, oysters, &c. enjoys respectable neighbors and genteel society; and from its central position between Potomac and Rappahannock, thereby commanding the benefit of both these rivers, is particularly well suited to the business of any gentleman of profession. Wherefore it will be sold either with as much land as will afford a competent support of wood and water, with the improvements alone, or with between four and five hundred acres, as shall be most convenient to the purchaser; and possession can be had on the first day of January next. This land lies level, generally; possesses an abundance of materials for fencing, some timber for building and occasional repairs, a plentiful stock of fire wood and is of the usual soil in this neighborhood that does not lie immediately on the margin of the broad water courses.
The improvements consist of a dwelling house of convenient size, perfectly new, built of the best materials, handsomely finished with a fine cellar to it, and a variety of other accommodations for a genteel family—a store house with a counting room to it, and a fine cellar to the whole of that building also—a barn, comprising stable and granary—a good house with other accommodations for an overseer, and customary houses of other descriptions—to which are annexed a well laid off productive garden handsomely paled in, a good yard, some valuable wheat and grass lots, and orchards of a variety of selected fruits of the most approved kinds; and all well enclosed.
Also, another Tract of Land, in Culpepper county, containing about two hundred acres, mostly in wood, and unimproved. In the event of the sales of the foregoing Lands, I will dispose of some valuable Negroes my Plantation utensils, some Household and Kitchen Furniture, Cattle, Hogs, Horses, &c. Among the latter are a pair of good Saddle Horses that match well for a Carriage, some excellent Work Horses, and a thorough bred Stud Horse only seven years old in April last. He is an excellent Foal-getter, and from his size, blood, and figure, is justly entitled to be ranked among the first class of Horses in this country. The whole of this property, excepting my negroes, which I shall dispose of in my neighborhood for their own accommodation, will be sold under a small reserve that will be required in money, or at short dates, at private bargain, either on easy payments in the purchasers own paper, if satisfactorily secured, for approved bonds well endorsed, property in Alexandria or its vicinity, or suitable merchandise.
The premises can be reviewed and terms made known, by application to G. CHAPIN, esqr. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county.
