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 on horseback. The rolls are very long and tight rolled, and spin so well that the spinners with us, are now spinning three hoppers per day, with as much ease as they can spin two from hand carding, & much stronger and smoother than a roller 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 light, 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 on the other side; 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 ituffed 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 send. 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.

LEXINGTON, JULY 8. Although yesterday's mail brought letters from New-York as late as the 24th ult. yet not a single news-paper was received in this place, from any of the Atlantic States--in consequence of which we have not one article of late foreign news.
Extract of a Letter from New-Orleans, dated the 13th June. "I shall leave this in a few days, as the place is becoming very sickly; from eight to ten die of a day--The fever has made its appearance in the Faubourg.
"This day I counted the number of flats here, which amounted to 237, and 63 ships--4 loaded with Africans that disgraceful trade to America. The market here is much glutted with flour, tobacco, bacon, cotton and hemp. Flour cannot be sold for six dollars, tobacco flow at five and a half, cotton flow at twenty, bacon cannot be sold at five dollars per hundred--upwards of 150,000 pounds now at market. Pork and lard do well--pork is from twelve and a half to fourteen dollars per barrel--lard thirteen to fourteen per hundred--whiskey seventy-five cents--peach brandy one dollar.
THE WESTERN WORLD. We have received the first number of the paper bearing the above title, published at Frankfort, by Joseph M. Street & Co. The principal Editor of this paper, is the noted John Wood, author of the History of the Administration of John Adams, (which was suppressed by Col. Burr.) The paper contained nearly four columns headed, "The Kentucky Spanish Association, Blount's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's Expedition," and which is promised to be continued. We shall republish this production, as it may appear, and our convenience suit, without noticing it in any other way--at least for the present.
Friday last being the anniversary of the declaration of Independence by the United States, the day was celebrated with the usual demonstrations of joy, by many citizens of Lexington, at the Independent Grove, and the following Toasts were drunk. 1st. The Patriots who suffered in '76. 2d. May Independence among Tradesmen, ever be their boast. 3d. May the Americans be united. 4th. Equality in society. 5th. Damn the Canal, sink the Navigation, and blow the manufactures of Kentucky all over the western world. 6th. May every manufacturer ever celebrate the anniversary of this auspicious day. 7th. May republicans enjoy peaceful alliance with the free born sons of the western world. 8th. May commerce and agriculture flourish throughout the western world. 9th. May the stars and stripes ever protect the American commerce from foreign insults. 10th. May the wings of Liberty never lose a feather. 11th. Thomas Jefferson, the President of the United States. 12th. May we never want a Jefferson. 13th. The memory of Benjamin Franklin. 14th. May the American people ever boast their patriot, their hero, their statesman, their departed worthy, George Washington. 15th. The Independent Grove, that has to day protected us from the scorching sun, may it ever be restored with as independent citizens. 16th. May he that despised home manufactures, be stripped round the world. 17th. May the seventeen states be welded into one united empire by the hammer of peace on the anvil of reconciliation, and may he that attempts to blow the bellows of discord, be burnt up by the sparks.
MR. BRADFORD; I was invited to celebrate the 4th day of July, at a barbecue which was held at Mr. Abner Young's spring, in Jessamine county; when I got to the place, I found a very large and respectable course of people, among which, was a brilliant assemblage of Ladies. The young Ladies and Gentlemen amused themselves with dancing in a beautiful grove--The Ladies dined by themselves, at the first table; at which time, a committee was appointed to make out the toasts; but for want of time, they made them short, and such as were generally used on the like occasions. Col. Joseph Crockett was chosen President, and Maj. John Morrison Vice-President. After dinner was over, silence was commanded--the music stopped--the Ladies quit their amusement--surrounded the table, and participated in the sentiments of the following toasts: 1. The day we celebrate. 2. The memory of Genl. Washington. 3. The President of the United States. 4. The Congress of the United States.
5. The United States of America--may their union be perpetual. 6. The Governor of Kentucky. 7. The State of Kentucky. 8. May our civil and religious liberties never be impaired. 9. The arts, sciences and manufactures--may their worth be sufficiently appreciated. 10. Peace with all nations, entangling alliances with none. 11. Amicable negotiations in preference to war. 12. The militia of the United States--may they ever be ready to repel sudden invasions. 13. The patriots of seventy-six--may their services be gratefully remembered. 14. The heroes that fell in the American revolutionary war--may they live in the memory of every American. 15. The River Mississippi--may its navigation be as permanent and uninterrupted, as the stream itself. 16. The American Fair. Cheerfulness was pictured on every countenance, and the greatest harmony prevailed, which did honor to the day, and to those Gentlemen of that neighbourhood, who bore the expence, and conducted the festival.
MR. BRADFORD; SIR--Reading in your paper of 10th inst. an advertisement of the Kentucky Musical Society, giving a concert of vocal and instrumental music, and the proceeds to be applied to charitable purposes, I beg you will insert the following, and oblige a constant reader. Delightful task, to lessen human woe, And blend the soothing strains of music with the practice of sweet humanity. In all civilized countries, institutions have been established for the relief of suffering humanity--funds raised, & asylums erected, to shelter the lone widow and helpless orphan from pinning want. Mark the progress of civilization and refined humanity among the savage nations in the world--The sick and the aged are often exposed to the inclement skies, and feel no relief from their sufferings, until the friendly arm of death arrests the progress of disease, and terminates their misery--no friendly hand to close the dying eye--lid--their bones lie scattered on the face of the earth, or bleached by the rains of heaven, serve only to arrest the footsteps of the weary traveller, and prove the wondrous cruelty of savage life. In our fertile country, where the bounties of nature are spread in gay profusion around us, and every man that enjoys health and strength to labour, may, by a moderate quantity of industry, obtain for himself and family, the comforts of life, objects of distress rarely occur; but a series of misfortune, which prudence could neither foresee nor prevent, often reduces a worthy family, from a state of prosperity, to the lowest ebb of misery. 'Tis a feature of the benevolent mind, to anticipate the wants of suffering worth, and the necessities of the travelling stranger and sojourner, who, in search of a home in this fertile country, finds his purse fail before he has arrived at the long wished-for spot--The privations he has suffered--the fatigues he has borne, and the damp and cold he has endured during a journey through the wilderness, at length overpowers him, and he is stretched on the bed of affliction, far away from kindred relations--no neighbor to visit him--a stranger to all--What an agreeable surprise to this forlorn hope, to see his bed surrounded with tender looking charity, intent on gentle deeds--administering to his wants; while the humane and health restoring physician applies the healing balm, and raises him from the bed of sickness. The writer of this, was led into these reflections when accidentally hearing of the benevolent members of the Kentucky Musical Society, seeking the abode of afflicted humanity--relieving whole families, and several suffering individuals, during the severities of last winter--and here permit me to offer up the grateful tribute on the altar of humanity, to those noble and humane characters, who promoted this laudable institution, and the generous and health-restoring physician, who has volunteered his services without fee, in the cause of afflicted humanity--Yours shall be the sweet calm of an approving conscience, and the smiles of delighted heaven. Persevere, then, ye friends to human kind, in this most noble cause, and the prayers of a thousand relieved and grateful families, shall be offered up for you before the throne of grace--Hoary fires, venerable matrons, youths,
with hearts devoted to their benefactors, will implore the blessings of heaven on his head who relieved them in the moment of want--raised them from the bed of affliction, and heart-consuming anguish to ease, content and happiness--Even infants will lift up blessings on the good man, and his tomb will be pleasingly disturbed by the grateful remembrance of posterity. Patronize the institution ye lovely daughters of Kentucky's favoured land, whose hearts glow with sensibility--who are tremblingly alive to the finest emotions of humanity, and whose generous pity is ever prone to sigh for the afflicted, and him that has no helper. And while you listen to the soothing strains, your hearts will vibrate, with the sweetest emotions; when you reflect that you have contributed to lessen human woe, 'Those feeling souls who exert themselves in this most noble cause, shall in no wise lose their reward. Soon shall the hour, the awful hour arrive, when in the presence of assembled worlds, the Judge of all, your plaudits shall proclaim, and all the hosts of heaven shall shout you wellcome. PHILANTHROPOS. Lexington, June 23, 1806.

FROM THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER. "Full of years, and full of honor." On Saturday morning the eighth instant, departed this life, the venerable Chancellor of the Richmond district, GEORGE WYTHE. Over the suspected causes of his death, let us for a moment draw the veil. Every situation in life has its duties. Let us therefore respect the rights of the accused.* But of the deep, the solemn, the almost unparallelled impression produced by his death, we may be permitted to speak. Let the anxious solicitude manifested for his recovery; let that sorrow which buries beneath it all political distinction; let the solemn and lengthened procession which attended him to his grave; declare the loss we have sustained. Kings may require manoleums, to consecrate their memory; faints may claim the privileges of canonization; but the venerable George Wythe needs no other monument than the services rendered to his country, and the universal sorrow which that country sheds over his grave. * It is generally believed, that this patriot has been brought to his grave by means of the "most foul, base and unnatural," and that the accused is to undergo an examination.
NEW-YORK, June 12. The Schooner Morning Star, capt. Oldridge, of Providence, R. I. failed from thence on the 10th ultimo for Washington, N. C. On the 15th, between the capes of Virginia and Hatteras, she fell in with a British cruising ship, which, either carelessly or wilfully, ran foul of her. An officer boarded the Schooner and impressed one man, an American citizen, with a regular protection. Capt. Oldridge remonstrated against his taking the man, informing him that he was short handed, having in all but five men, officers included, one of them sick below, and a vessel of 61 tons to navigate; but his remonstrances were in vain. The ship parted from the Schooner and the people on board the latter discovered that in consequence of the blow she had received from the ship, she leaked very badly. Having spent the night in pumping she was found to have three feet of water in her hold, and off Ocracoke bar, and blowing a gale, it was thought most safe to attempt going in, even without a pilot; but in attempting it, she struck on the bar, and immediately foundered. The officer from the ship refused to tell her name, or that of her commander, whose conduct reflects so much honor on the British navy.

TOBACCO MANUFACTORY. JACOB LAUDEMAN, INFORMS his friends, and the public in general, that he has removed from Lexington, about three miles, on Henry's mill road, where he will carry on as usual. He will also keep a constant supply at Mr. Joseph Hudson's store, in Lexington, by wholesale and retail, opposite the court house, which will be sold on the lowest terms for cash; he will give from three to nine months credit, on giving bond with approved security. Persons applying may be furnished with the different kinds of Snuff, Rappee and Scotch, all kinds of Chewing and Smoking Tobacco, and Segars, all of which I will warrant equal, as to quality, to any manufactured in the state.
THE way to keep the money circulating in this place, 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 are wanted.
ABRAHAM S. DRAKE, TAYLOR. SHAKES this method to inform the citizens of Lexington, and the public in general, that he has commenced business in the shop lately occupied by Mr. Holmes, Taylor, on Main street, nearly opposite Benjamin Stout, faddler, where he intends carrying on the above business in all its various branches, and hopes from his knowledge of the business, with the strictest attention, and desire to please, to meet a share of public patronage. Ladies and Gentlemen who will please to favor him with their custom, may depend on having their work done on the shortest notice, and in the most fashionable manner, and with neatness and dispatch. One or two boys are wanted to the above business. Such country produce and store goods as may suit, will be taken.
Wanted Immediately, At J. Charles' Printing Office and Book Bindery, FOUR APPRENTICES. Boys from 12 to 16 years of age would be preferred. The salary given to journey men of either of the above branches, is from 20 to 40 Dollars per month. Very high wages will be given for a well inclined black or yellow boy, of from 15 to 20 years of age, provided he is bound for three or more years, to work at press.

Be so kind Gentlemen as to call in, and judge for yourselves. I am the public's humble servt. 12m Lawson M'Cullough

TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING. O pity! if thy holy tear Imperial decks the wing of time, 'Tis when the soldier's honor'd bier Demands the glistening drop sublime; For who, from busy life remov'd, Such glorious, dang'rous toil has prov'd; As he, who on the embattled plain Lies, nobly slain.
He who forsakes his native shore To meet the whizzing hail of death; Who mid the battle's fateful roar, Religns his lingering parting breath; Who, when the deaf'ning din is done, So well deserves as valor's son, The proud, the lasting wreath of fame, To grace his name.
Hard is his fate, the sultry day To wander o'er the burning plain; All night to waste the hours away, Mid howling winds and beating rain; To talk, O vision fally sweet! With her his eyes will never meet, And find at morn's returning gleam, 'Twas but a dream!
To make the hanghty brow severe; To bear th' impetuous stem command; To heave the high, to drop the tear, While mem'ry paints his native land; To know the laurel he has won, Twines round the brow of fortune's son, While he when stre'g'h and youth are flown Shall die UNKNOWN!

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 pasturage is ex- cellent for raising stock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes and pea- vines. All along the river is the sugar cane, wild cherry, and other woods com- mon to this country. When you go back some distance, is the pine; which produces tar, turpentine, pitch and rosin; which will finally be valuable, indepen- dent 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 flat 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 flat 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 bot- toms and along the creeks would produce good cotton and hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country black- smiths, consumes thirteen thousand bush- els per ann. we will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which sells at the landing at one shilling per bushel, and twenty thousand might be sold: this might be made productive by a man of small capi- tal. 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. To- bacco, 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.
