CARDING MACHINE.
I WISH to inform the publick, that there is a Carding Machine in motion in the Georgetown Paper Mill, for picking, breaking, and carding Wool into rolls, on the plan that is in general use in Europe as I am informed, and in my opinion highly worth the immediate attention of all those who wish to make wool into rolls for spinning, or into hats. As the owner only wishes the owner of the wool to wash it and pick the burs and sticks out, and add a pound of grease well mixed with every eight pounds of wool, they will card a hundred weight a day, and pack it in coarse sheets, in which the wool must be sent, and secure it so that it will carry forty miles safely on horseback. The rolls are very long and tight rolled, and spin so well that the spinners with us, are now spinning three pounds per day, with as much ease as they can spin two from hand carding, & so much stronger and smoother that a fuller says there will be no comparison in the cloth. Let us consider the saving in a hundred weight of wool: a hand in a hundred days, may by hard close work, pick, break, and card a hundred weight of wool; such a hand, to find cards, victuals and clothes, must be worth one and six pence per day, which is £.7 10, and in the spinning there will be about 17 days saved, which is £.1 5 6, which make £.8 15 6, and I believe that the superior quality of the stuff will more than pay all the expense and trouble, even if to carry forty miles, & if £.8 15 6 can be saved in every hundred weight of wool, and the cloth much more durable and lightly, it will induce us to take care of our sheep, and have us and our people better clad, and cause us soon to have a surplus for our north western brethren, white and red, and render us less dependant on convulsed Europe. It may be said the hands that do this are of little other use; I answer, cannot they be employed at the manufacturing of flax or hemp? nay, how many hundreds of very valuable white women are employed at times at this very dirty and laborious business? a disgrace to the men, when such relief is offered and not made use of.
A hatter came in with his wool yesterday, and when he saw it culled out in such excellent order, he said (and may be sworn to it) he could make fur hats of it. The price for making it into rolls is 10 cents, if to mix different colours 12 cents, and for preparing it for the hatters 5 cents per pound, and the whole may be paid in linen and cotton rags that are well bleached, clean washed and dried, at 3d per pound, and a worse quality at a lower price. What inducements to heads of families to save all their rags, and get from their neighbours who have not occasion to fend. I suppose was economy and frugality used, there would be rags enough to pay for picking, breaking, and carding all the wool in the state. I am only interested in common with my fellow-citizens, the owner has rented room and water of the present owners of the mill, where they can work the machine at any season of the year.

NOTICE.
ALL persons are hereby forewarned from taking an assignment of a BOND, executed by me, as security for John Clarke, late merchant of this county, to Henry Caldwell, now a resident of Kentucky. The bond, according to my best recollection, is dated June 1790 or 1791, payable on the 25th of December following, and is for a sum somewhat exceeding one hundred and seventy pounds, Virginia currency. A late decree of Prince Edward county court has exonerated me from payment of the said bond; which was discharged by Clarke, in his life time, to Caldwell.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted , That in substantiating such claim, the following rules and regulations shall be complied with, that is to say: All evidence shall be taken on oath or affirmation, before the judge of the district or one of the judges of the territory in which such claimant resides, or before some person specially authorized by commission from said judge.
Decisive disability, the effect of a known wound or wounds received while in the actual service, and line of duty against the common enemy, during the revolutionary war, must be proved by the affidavit of the commanding officer of the regiment, corps, company, ship, vessel, or craft, in which such claimant served; or of two other credible witnesses to the same effect, setting forth the time when, and place where, such known wound or wounds were received; and particularly describing the same.
The nature of such disability, and in what degree it prevents the claimant from obtaining his subsistence, must be proved by the affidavit of some reputable physician or surgeon, stating his opinion either from his own knowledge and acquaintance with the claimant, or from an examination of such claimant on oath or affirmation; which when necessary for that purpose, shall be administered to said claimant by said judge or commissioner. And the said physician or surgeon, in his affidavit, shall particularly describe the wound or wounds from whence the disability appears to be derived.
Every claimant must prove, by at least one credible witness, that he continued in service during the whole time for which he was detached, or for which he engaged, unless he was discharged; or left the service in consequence of some derangement of the army, or in consequence of his disability refused his commission; or was after his disability in captivity or on parole, until the close of the revolutionary war. And in the same manner must prove his mode of life and employment since he left the service, and the place or places where he has since resided, and his place of residence, at the time of taking such testimony.
Every claimant shall by his affidavit give satisfactory reasons why he did not make application for a pension before, and that he is not on the pension list of any state; and the judge or commissioner shall certify in writing, his opinion of the credibility of the witnesses, whose affidavits he shall take, in all those cases, where by this act it is said the proof shall be made by a credible witness or witnesses. And also that the examining physician or surgeon is reputable in his profession.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted , That the said judge of the district, or person by him commissioned as aforesaid, shall transmit a list of such claims, accompanied by the evidence, affidavits, certificates, and proceedings had thereon in pursuance of this act, noting particularly the day on which the testimony was closed before him, to the secretary for the department of war, that the same may be compared with muster rolls or other documents in his office; and the said secretary shall make a statement of all such cases, which, together with all the testimony, he shall from time to time transmit to Congress, with such remarks as he may think proper, that Congress may be enabled to place such claimants on the pension list as shall be found entitled to the privilege. And it shall be the duty
of the judge, or commissioner, aforesaid, to permit each claimant to take a transcript of the evidence and proceedings had respecting his claim, if he shall desire it, and to certify the same to be correct.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted , That every pension, or increase thereof, by virtue of this act, shall commence on the day when the claimant shall have completed his testimony, before the authority proper to take the same.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted , That an increase of pension may be allowed to persons already placed upon the pension list of the United States, for disabilities caused by known wounds received during the revolutionary war, in all cases where justice shall require the same. Provided , That the increase, when added to the pension formerly received, shall in no case exceed a full pension.
Every invalid making application for this purpose, shall be examined by two reputable physicians or surgeons, to be authorized by commission from the judge of the district, where such invalid resides; who shall report in writing, on oath or affirmation, their opinion of the nature of the applicant's disability, and in what degree it prevents him from obtaining a subsistence by manual labor. Which report shall be transmitted by said physicians or surgeons, to the secretary for the department of war; who shall compare the same with the documents in his office, and shall make a statement of all such cases, which together with the original report, he shall from time to time transmit to Congress, with such remarks as he may think proper, that they may be enabled to do justice to such pensioners.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted , That a full pension given by this act to a commissioned officer, shall be one half of the monthly pay legally allowed, at the time of incurring said disability, to his grade in the forces raised by the United States; and the proportions, less than a full pension, shall be the correspondent proportions of said half pay; and a full pension to a non-commissioned officer, musician, soldier, marine, or seaman, shall be five dollars a month, and the proportions less than a full pension, shall be the like proportions of five dollars a month; but no pension of a commissioned officer shall be calculated at a higher rate than the half pay of a lieutenant colonel.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted , That the pensions, or increase thereof, which may be allowed by this act, shall be paid in the same manner as pensions to invalids, who have been heretofore placed on the pension list, are now paid, and under such restrictions and regulations, in all respects, as are prescribed by law.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted , That from and after the passage of this act, no sale, transfer, or mortgage of the whole or any part of the pension, payable to any non-commissioned officer, musician, soldier, marine, or seaman, before the same becomes due, shall be valid. And every person claiming such pension or any part thereof, under power of attorney or substitution, shall, before the same is paid, make oath or affirmation, before some magistrate legally authorized to take the same, a copy of which attested by said magistrate, shall be lodged with the person who pays said pension: that such power or substitution is not given by reason of any transfer of such pension, or part thereof. And any person who shall swear or affirm falsely in the premises, and be thereof convicted, shall suffer as for wilful and corrupt perjury.
Sec. 9. And be it further enacted , That all laws of the United States heretofore passed, so far as they authorize persons to be placed on the pension list of the United States, for, and in consequence of disabilities derived from known wounds received in the revolutionary war, shall be, and they are hereby repealed: Provided , That nothing in this repealing clause shall injure, or in any way effect those persons already upon the pension list of the United States; and that the secretary for the department of war shall proceed upon the testimony which has been transmitted to him by any claimant, before the passage of this act, in the same manner as though this act had never passed.
Sec. 10. And be it further enacted , That this act, so far as it authorizes the admission of persons upon the pension list of the United States, shall remain in force for and during the space of six years, from the passage thereof, and no longer: Provided , That this limitation shall not affect or impair the right of any invalid who may have completed his testimony in the manner prescribed by this act before this limitation commences its operation, but which has not been transmitted to the secretary for the department of war.

Extract of a letter from a Gentleman, dated
"ST. LOUIS, June 4th, 1806 "You have heard much of swords and pistols, and battle and murder, in this place—"much cry and no wool"—It was reserved however, for young Samuel Hammond, the discreet nephew of our very worthy Colonel, to draw the first blood.—Thus it appears, that he has not carried arms for two months, without effect. His own deposition under cover, will best explain the merits of this meritorious deed.—But being behind the drunken savage, and having mortally wounded him with his pistol, at the moment when Judge Meigs, declared, "he conceived he had him perfectly in his power;" it is supposed by some, that one home thrust of the dirk, would have sufficed; but I beg you to mention this in a whisper: because lawyer Carr has declared, it was the most honorable deed of Hammond's life; who has been acquitted without imprisonment or trial. It was certainly an act of signal courage: because Le Doct Sougrain (swore, de Indian was draw his knife two tree inch, for kill de Colonel, and mine God I am save too by the pistol of Hammon—I say, mention this in a whisper: because fifty or sixty men, generally strangers to the country, have since, without law or gospel, armed under Thos. F. Reddick, Moses Soloman, esq. his clerk, and Connor, who keeps the tipling shop. Young Hammond, Hempstead, Carr, Bush, Wing, Campbell, and such like worthies being of the party—and what makes it more dangerous to mention the thing, Colonel Samuel Hammond has, I understand, in virtue of his commission of civil and military commandant, recommended the leaders of this lawless combination to the governor, to be commissioned—Yea, more—it has been said by a man high in the judiciary, that if young Hammond had been committed, the executive authority could not have carried him to jail; but this is "all cry, and no wool:" for if the thing had been ordered, it would have been done without noise or bloodshed. Finally, Hammond has killed an Indian, and the law it is supposed, will hang four more: as two have been this day convicted of murder, and two more are to be tried to-morrow. Wilkinson is a bloody fellow; he does not mind bringing half a dozen Indians to the gallows, for murdering two or three white men, more than you would to take a chew of tobacco.
District of St. Louis, } May 23d, 1806. }
Samuel Hammond junior, sworn. About one o'clock this day, I went to Mr. Darneille's, the next house above Doct. Sougrain's, to see him—he was not at home—I stayed there a few moments, when Mr. Barrett came in. Immediately after, there was a noise in the back street, crying Indians, in French. I went into the back yard, in company with Mr. Jewitt, who lives with Mr. Darneille, and the noise in a few minutes ended. I returned to the house—was talking with Mr. Barrett and Mr. Jewitt—Mr. Barrett left the place about 8 or 10 minutes after—Mr. Jewitt and myself saw a Macam Richard running past the house, apparently in great distress, crying in French, Indians, and other words I did not understand. I saw Col. Meigs and Doct. Sougrain come out of Doct. Sougrain's house—Col. Meigs stayed near the gate, and Doct. Sougrain walked down the street. I returned immediately, and very soon an Indian appeared in the street, coming from the common. The Indian appeared some what intoxicated, but I did not think him very drunk. He had a tomahawk in his hand, and seemed to be angry. He approached to a house near Doct. Sougrain's—seemed to be whetting his tomahawk: I do not know whether on a stone or on his hand—he made several motions with it, which conveyed to me the idea of scalping—he then struck once or twice in the ground, clapping his hands on his breast, and said to those who were in the street, in English, come here, come here , and appeared angry—he then chopped his tomahawk into the door of the house once or twice—he walked on towards Col. Meigs, Doct. Sougrain, myself and some others; upon which, an old man of the house which he had attacked, approached him, and upon his raising his tomahawk at him, retreated to the
house—then came near to myself and others in the street, and brandished his tomahawk in the air. Doct. Sougrain run up to him, and caught him by the hand to shake hands—he jerked his hand back, and made a pass at the Doctor with his tomahawk. The Doct. jumped back, and saved himself from the blow. He approached the Doctor again, with his tomahawk raised—Col. Meigs interfered—the Indian made a pass at the head of Col. Meigs with his tomahawk—the Col. dodged his head, and received the blow on his hat—a scuffle took place for the tomahawk, between Col. Meigs and the Indian—the bye-standers hallooed, help, kill him. I conceived the life of Col. Meigs to be in eminent danger, as well as that of Doctor Sougrain, myself and others—I ran up, and fired a pocket pistol at the Indian—immediately the Indian appeared to redouble his efforts—I conceived that nothing but great and immediate help could save the life of Col. Meigs, together with myself and others, and seeing one of his hands fall to his side, and knowing that Indians generally wear knives, I was convinced, that it was to draw a knife to kill the Col upon which, I drew a dirk, and stabbed him twice—the Colonel then got the tomahawk, probably by the Indian putting his hand to the wounds—the Indian run up street—the Col. pursued him with the tomahawk about 20 or 30 paces, and made two or three strokes at the Indian; but I do not know whether any of them hit him—the Indian ran 50 or 60 yards further, and sat down—I begged of Doct. Sougrain to attend to him, and cure him if he could. He replied he would, and in a few minutes after, I was informed the Indian was dead. Doctor Sougrain said, that the Indian might kill some one, as there were women and children in the street, and that he ought to be followed; when Col. Meigs pursued him—One reason that induces me to believe the Indian was drunk, is, that he run very fast when Colonel Meigs was after him. As soon as I heard that the Indian was dead, I waited on Judge Lucas, with Mr. Darneille—told him, that I come to make my declaration on oath, and enter into such recognizance as he thought proper; which declaration I was writing, when summoned on this inquest.

PHILADELPHIA, June 16. From the New-York Commercial Advertiser of Saturday evening. MIRANDA SUCCESSFUL. The Editor has been favoured with the Political and Commercial Gazette of Hayti, of the 22d of May, containing the following highly interesting letter.
SOUTH-AMERICA. Extract of a letter from gen. Kirkland, (one of the commanders under gen. Miranda,) dated Cumana, April 19, to his friend in Hayti.
My Dear Friend, Veni, Vidi, Vici, (I came, I saw, I conquered) was the motto of Cæsar. Bonaparte has lately applied it to himself; it is now become mine, thanks to the genius who presides over liberty and independence. To my great regret, I cannot permit myself to enter into the details which I had promised you respecting the celerity of our operations, on account of the rapidity of the events which hurry us on; and the favourable opportunity which requires haste to take advantage of the terror which such successes impress. Let it suffice to you for the moment to know, that the island of Santa-Margaritti, Barcelona & Cumana are in our possession, and that at the moment in which I am writing to you, the army is filing off for Carracas.
At every step we take our army is increased by their illustrious unfortunates, who think that they be- hold in the generalissimo, Miranda, a new Washington, who comes to re- establish them to the primitive state of liberty, which the barbarity of the Spaniards had ravished from them. There is not the shadow of a doubt but that new success will crown so holy an enterprize.
The Generalissimo desires to be remembered by you. His first aid- de-camp, whom you well know, joins with his commander and myself in wishing you every kind of prosperity.
We request you instantly to communicate our progress to his majesty the emperor of Hayti. Tell him that the first intelligence which we shall have the honour to give him, will be dated from Carracas.
Forget us not, my dear friend, & believe, that as long as I live, I shall feel for you the most sincere affection. Vive L'Independence! Vive La Liberte! The Gen. KIRKLAND.
LONDON, May 1.
By the Prevoyante store ship, arrived in the Downs, the following letter is received, dated Gibraltar, 31st March—"This day's letters from Spain, state, that a war between that country and Portugal is certain, and that 50,000 French troops are on their march to Portugal."
This morning we received Paris papers to the 20th, and Dutch to the 26th. The return of the French troops who were evacuating Germany, has not only been suspended, but Marshal Lefevre's corps, 20,000 strong, which had but a few days crossed to the left bank of the Rhine, recrossed it at Mentz, and advanced into Darmstadt. Great preparations are making to place Brannau in a respectable state of defence, and the head quarters of the French army are still at Ulm. Yet an article from Stuttgart of the 12th states, that the suspension upon the return of the Austrian prisoners to Austria had been taken off; which would seem to show that some arrangement of the difference between the two powers had taken place. The following are the principal contents of the French and Dutch papers, which are of considerable importance.
Upon the motion for the second reading of the bill for the repeal of the additional defence act, an interesting discussion took place in the house of commons last night, in which Mr. Canning distinguished himself by one of the most argumentative & eloquent speeches we ever heard; be it said with all due deference to the ministerialist who describe themselves as concentrating all the talents, all the genius, and all the patriotism of the country.—None of the ministers took any part in the discussion; a circumstance of a singular nature.
Mr. Canning proposed an amendment to the motion for the second reading of the bill, that it be read a second time that day three weeks. A division took place, and 119 divided for Mr. Canning's amendment, 235 against it. The amendment was of course lost, but the ministers did not seem to be at all prepared to expect that the opposition would divide so large a number. It is double the amount of what the concentration of all the talents, genius, and patriotism of the country were in the habit of dividing during the greater part of Mr. Pitt's administration.
PARIS, April 20.
Upon being continued in the office of president of the tribunal, M. Fabre de L'Aude, after expressing his grateful sense of the favors conferred on him by the emperor & the tribunal, said, "Justice requires us gentlemen, to proclaim this truth, with which we must be all impressed by our official communications with the emperor. The necessity of preserving to France her freedom and independence, of recruiting her navy, of opposing strong armies to the continental powers which might still think of weaving new plots and new coalitions, by violating the faith of treaties, could alone have induced his majesty to increase the direct contributions."
The expenditure for the year is stated to be 894 millions, (between 38 and 39 millions sterling).
Baron de Gravenreuth, the king of Bavaria's minister of war, and envoy extraordinary to the emperor of the French, is arrived at Paris. Admiral Villeneuve is also expected from Morlaix.
Letters from the banks of the Rhine announce the entire suspension of all the orders relative to the
evacuation of Germany by the French. Brannau, which was to be evacuated on the 3d, is to be fortified more strongly by the French. All the troops of the grand army have stopped in their march towards the Rhine. Lefebvre's corps have even repassed to the right hand.
FRANKFORT, April 11.
Gen. Kalkreuth has been ordered by his sovereign to take military possession of Pomerania and the isle of Rugen. Resistance is expected.
Since the invasion of Dalmatia by the Russians, fresh clouds have darkened the political horizon in Germany, which had already suffered so much, is once more deprived, for the moment at least, of the hope of being released from the burthen of foreign troops. Marshal Berthier has ordered the troops to halt, and Brannau is not to be evacuated. Lefebvre's corps has resumed its cantonments in Darmstadt. The vice-general Leopold Berthier has set off from Vienna for Paris, it is said that all difficulties are removed between Austria and France on the subject of Cataro, and that till that place is surrendered to France, the latter will continue to occupy Brannau.
HAMBURG, April 9.
Some fermentation is said to exist in Sweden. The Chamber of Commerce of Stockholm having been revoked lately, a letter was read from the king, in which he demanded a contribution to enable him to fit out 15 ships of the line or frigates, to protect the Swedish ships against the French privateers, which had taken a great number. The discussion enabled some members to depict the miseries to which Sweden was subjected by her fatal alliance with England. It was unanimously decided that no sum should be granted to the king. [We do not believe a word of this article.]
A short but sharp debate took place after the division.
To a question put by Mr. Canning, Mr. Windham replied, that he had no intention of making any alteration in the new Military Plan which he proposed before the recess.
Ten transports arrived in the downs yesterday from the River with troops on board. Their destination is a profound secret.
Admiralty Office, April 30, half past one, P. M.
The Donnegal man of war arrived at Spithead this morning, and the following message has been received by the Telegraph:—Captain Malcolm passed Cape Maze with Admiral Duckworth on the 20th of March.
The Donnegal and the Braave parted company with the other ship on the 8th off the Western Islands. On the morning of the 12th, the Braave's main mast went over board, and she began to open very much. The crew were therefore removed, and in the course of the day she foundered. She had been very much cut up in Admiral Duckworth's action.
The Jupiter, one of the other prizes, arrived at Spithead last night.

FOR SALE. 18,000 Acres of Land. ON the left hand side of the three forks as you go up the Kentucky, and at their junction. This land runs along the river three miles, and nine miles back. The bottoms are rich land; the ridges are capable of producing wheat, and other small grain. The pastureage is excellent for raising flock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes and peavines. All along the river is the sugar cane, wild cherry, and other woods common to this country. When you go back some distance, is the pine; which produces tar, turpentine, pitch and rosin; which will finally be valuable, independent of the wood that is upon the land. There is also a rock close to low water mark, that when the water is very low, shews clear salt upon its surface; and the rock itself tastes salt. There has been three water witches [as they call them] trying the experiment, and say, there is four feet square of very salt water at the top of the bank, which is not an hundred feet from the water, and close to it a very easy ascending hill for several miles; and also the wood along the river. A coal bank within 300 yards. There is also 5 valuable coal banks which are near the river, with easy access to them. A coal yard and boat yard; and it is said, several salt-petre caves. The bottoms and along the creeks would produce good cotton and hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country blacksmiths, consumes thirteen thousand bushels per ann. we will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which falls at the landing at one shilling per bushel, and twenty thousand might be sold: this might be made productive by a man of small capital. Independent of these advantages, the mouth of the three forks is the best fishing place in the state. In a small crib they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a sein, five or seven hundred barrels per annum. Tobacco, flour, beef, pork, tallow, hogs' lard, hemp, cordage, whiskey or cast iron will be taken in payment. Part credit will be given. If the whole cannot be sold, a half will be sold, or a third. A clear and indisputable deed will be given. For terms apply to Mr. Wm. Leavy, Lexington. or at this office. Lexington, May 16, 1806.
N. B. There are a number of acres of clear bottom land, and several log houses upon the above lands.

Putty and Paints, by the small quantity always on hand. One or two apprentices will be taken to the above business—boys from 14 to 6 years of age, will meet with liberal encouragement, tf
THE way to keep the money circulating in this state, is to encourage home manufactures. The rapid importation of many articles that the citizens of this state can make equal in quality and more durable in wear, has of late become a very serious evil to the inhabitants of this western country. In the single article of Ladies' Shoes, it is estimated, that not less than 20,000 dollars worth is annually imported into Lexington. The subscriber wishing to lessen the inconvenience, has commenced manufacturing Ladies' Slippers at the very reduced price of six shillings and nine pence per pair. The quality of his work, and the unusual low price, he is persuaded will secure him the patronage of a discerning public. Those merchants who have expressed a patriotic desire to encourage domestic manufactures, may now have an opportunity of sending their orders to Hugh Crawford, On Main street corner of Main Cross street. An allowance will be made to those who buy to sell again, and credit given if required, by giving approved endorsed notes, payable at the insurance office. Journey-men and apprentices wanted. eot

Lexington WARM & COLD BATHS. THE public are respectfully informed, that I have, at considerable expense, in addition to my former Baths, (on a permanent spring on my premises) erected three new Bathing Houses, one of which is solely set apart for the Ladies' use. The use of Baths, warm and cold, were so general with the ancients, and particularly in warm climates, and the advantages to be derived from them, not only to persons in health as a luxury, but also in various acute diseases, where excretuating pain has been relieved, and sudden death often prevented, by the use of the warm bath alone; as well as the advantages to be derived both to children and persons of mature age, from the use of one or the other, as the faculty may think adapted to their case; will, the subscriber trusts, ensure the countenance and support of the citizens and others to the accommodation he hopes his baths may afford. Himself and attendants, will, from day-break 'til nine at night, wait on gentlemen; and careful female servants are provided to attend at all times on such ladies as may be pleased to encourage the attempt he has made to add to their convenience and comfort. G. A. WEBER. N. B.

Persons may pay each time of bathing, or engage for the season. Lexington, 3d June, 1806.
