A DECLARATION OR CONFESSION OF FAITH;
As revised or compiled from the Philadelphia Baptist Confession of Faith, By Ambrose Dudley, John Price, Joseph Redding, Carter Tarrent, Robert Johnson, John Payne and Bartlett Collins, who were appointed a committee for that business by the Elkhorn Association.
And as the business of its adoption, expected to come on in the next August Association, the members of that body may do well to make themselves acquainted with it. The price is very low, only 12 1/2 cents for a single one, or one dollar per dozen. It is probable some of them will be sent to several towns neighbouring.

All you that have my stone received And find them not to suit, I'll haul the offals back again, And send a freer recruit.

(BY AUTHORITY.)
LAW S OF THE UNITED STATES.
AN ACT
For establishing Rules and Articles for the Government of the Armies of the United States.
(Concluded.)
Art. 88. No person shall be liable to be tried and punished by a general court martial for any offence which shall appear to have been committed more than two years before the issuing of the order for such trial, unless the person by reason of having absented himself or some other manifest impediment, shall not have been amenable to justice within that period.
Art. 89. Every officer authorised to order a general court martial, shall have power to pardon or mitigate any punishment ordered by such court, except the sentence of death, or of cashiering an officer; which in the cases where he has authority (by article 65) to carry them into execution, he may suspend until the pleasure of the president of the United States can be known; which suspension, together with copies of the proceedings of the court martial, the said officer shall immediately transmit to the president for his determination. And the colonel or commanding officer of the regiment or garrison where any regimental or garrison court martial shall be held, may pardon or mitigate any punishment ordered by such court to be inflicted.
Art. 90. Every judge advocate, or person officiating as such, at any general court martial, shall transmit, with as much expedition as the opportunity of time and distance of place can admit, the original proceedings and sentence of such court martial, to the secretary of war, which said original proceedings and sentence shall be carefully kept and preserved in the office of the said secretary, to the end that the persons entitled thereto may be enabled, upon application to the said office, to obtain copies thereof. The party tried by any general court martial, shall upon demand thereof made by himself or by any person or persons in his behalf, be entitled to a copy of the sentence and proceedings of such court martial.
Art. 91. In cases where the general or commanding officer may order a court of inquiry to examine into the nature of any transaction, accusation or imputation against any officer or soldier, the said court shall consist of one or more officers, not exceeding three, and a judge advocate, or other suitable person as a recorder, to reduce the proceedings and evidence to writing, all of whom shall be sworn to the faithful performance of their duty. This court shall have the same power to summon witnesses as a court martial, and to examine them on oath. But they shall not give their opinion on the merits of the case, excepting they shall be thereto specially required. The parties accused shall also be permitted to cross examine and interrogate the witnesses, so as to investigate fully the circumstances in question.
Art. 92. The proceedings of a court of inquiry must be authenticated by the signature of the recorder and the president, and delivered to the commanding officer; and the said proceedings may be admitted as evidence by a court martial in cases not capital, or extending to the dismissal of an officer, provided that the circumstances are such, that oral testimony cannot be obtained. But as courts of inquiry may be perverted to dishonorable purposes, and may be considered as engines of destruction to military merit, in the hands of weak and envious commandants, they are hereby prohibited, unless directed by the president of the United States, or demanded by the accused.
Art. 93. The judge advocate, or recorder, shall administer to the members the following oath:
"You shall well and truly examine and inquire, according to your evidence, into the matter now before you, without partiality, favor, affection, prejudice, or hope of reward. So help you God."
After which the president shall administer to the judge advocate, or recorder, the following oath:
"You, A. B. do swear that you will, according to your best abilities, accurately and impartially record the proceedings of the court, and the evidence to be given in the case in hearing. So help you God."
The witnesses shall take the same oath as witnesses sworn before a court martial.
Art. 94. When any commissioned officer shall die or be killed in the service of the United States, the major of the regiment, or the officer doing the major's duty in his absence, or in any post or garrison, the second officer in command, or the assistant military agent, shall immediately secure all his effects or equipage then in camp or quarters, and shall make an inventory thereof, and forthwith transmit the same to the office of the department of war, to the end that his executors or administrators may receive the same.
Art. 95. When any non-commissioned officer, or soldier, shall die or be
killed in the service of the United States, the then commanding officer of the troop or company, shall, in the presence of two other commissioned officers, take an account of what effects he died possessed of, above his arms, and accoutrements, and transmit the same to the office of the department of war; which said effects are to be accounted for, and paid to the representatives of such deceased non-commissioned officers, or soldier. And in case any of the officers, so authorized to take care of the effects of deceased officers and soldiers, should, before they have accounted to their representatives for the same, have occasion to leave the regiment, or post, by promotion, or otherwise, they shall, before they be permitted to quit the same, deposit in the hands of the commanding officer, or of the assistant military agent, all the effects of such deceased non-commissioned officers and soldiers, in order that the same may be secured for, and paid to, their respective representatives.
Art. 96. All officers, conductors, gunners, matrosses, drivers or other persons whatsoever, receiving pay, or hire, in the service of the artillery or corps of engineers of the United States, shall be governed by the aforesaid rules and articles, and shall be subject to be tried by courts martial, in like manner with the officers and soldiers of the other troops in the service of the United States.
Art. 97. The officers and soldiers of any troops, whether militia or others, being mustered and in pay of the United States, shall, at all times, and in all places, when joined or acting in conjunction with the regular forces of the United States, be governed by these rules and articles of war, and shall be subject to be tried by courts martial, in like manner with the officers and soldiers in the regular forces, save only that such courts martial shall be composed entirely of militia officers.
Art. 98. All officers, serving by commission from the authority of any particular state, shall on all detachments, courts martial, or other duty, wherein they may be employed in conjunction with the regular forces of the United States, take rank, next after all officers of the like grade in said regular forces, notwithstanding the commissions of such militia or state officers may be elder than the commissions of the officers of the regular forces of the United States.
Art. 99. All crimes not capital, and all disorders and neglects which officers and soldiers may be guilty of to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, though not mentioned in the foregoing articles of war, are to be taken cognizance of by a general or regimental court martial, according to the nature & degree of the offence, and be punished at their discretion.
Art. 100. The president of the United States shall have power to prescribe the uniform of the army.
Art. 101. The foregoing articles are to be read and published once in every six months, to every garrison, regiment, troop or company, mustered or to be mustered in the service of the United States, and are to be duly observed and obeyed, by all officers and soldiers who are or shall be in said service.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That in time of war all persons not citizens of, or owing allegiance to the United States of America, who shall be found lurking as spies, in or about the fortifications or encampments of the armies of the United States or any of them, shall suffer death, according to the law and usage of nations, by sentence of a general court martial.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the rules and regulations, by which the armies of the United States have heretofore been governed, and the resolves of congress thereunto annexed, and respecting the same, shall henceforth be void and of no effect, except so far as may relate to any transactions under them, prior to the promulgation of this act, at the several posts and garrisons respectively, occupied by any part of the army of the United States.

Together with his discovery, invention, or improvement, he shall also send a sealed letter, containing the same motto, device or signature, and subscribed with the real name, and place of residence of the author.
2. Persons of any nation, sect, or denomination whatever, shall be admitted as candidates for this premium.
3. No discovery, invention, or improvement shall be entitled to this premium, which hath been already published, or for which the author hath been publicly rewarded elsewhere.
4. The candidate shall communicate his discovery, invention, or improvement, either in the English, French, German, or Latin language.
5. All such communications shall be publicly read, or exhibited to the society, at some stated meeting, not less than one month previous to the day of adjudication; and shall at all times be open to the inspection of such members as shall desire it. But no member shall carry home with him the communication, description, or model, except the officer to whom it shall be intrusted; nor shall such officer part with the same out of his custody, without a special order of the society for that purpose.
6. The society having previously referred the several communications, from candidates for the premium then depending, to the consideration of the twelve counselors and other officers of the society, and having received their report thereon, shall, at one of their stated meetings in the month of December, annually, after the expiration of this current year, (of the time and place, together with the particular occasion of which meeting, due notice shall be previously given, by public advertisement) proceed to the final adjudication of the said premium: and after due consideration had, a vote shall first be taken on this question, viz. Whether any of the communications then under inspection be worthy of the proposed premium? If this question be determined in the negative, the whole business shall be deferred till another year: but if in the affirmative, the society shall proceed to determine, by ballot, given by the members at large, the discovery, invention, or improvement, most useful and worthy; and that discovery, invention, or improvement, which shall be found to have a majority of concurring votes in its favour shall be successful; and then, and not till then, the sealed letter accompanying the crowned performance shall be opened, and the name of the author announced as the person entitled to the said premium.
7. No member of the society who is a candidate for the premium then depending, or who hath not previously declared to the society, either by word or writing, that he has considered & weighed, according to the best of his judgment, the comparative merits of the several claims then under consideration, shall sit in judgment, or give his vote in awarding the said premium.
8. A full account of the crowned subject shall be published by the society, as soon as may be after the adjudication, either in a separate publication, or in the next succeeding volume of their transactions, or in both.
9. The unsuccessful performances shall remain under consideration, and their authors be considered as candidates for the premium, for five years next succeeding the time of their presentment; except such performances as their authors may, in the mean time, think fit to withdraw. And the society shall, annually, publish an abstract of the titles, object, or subject-matter of the communications so under consideration; such only excepted as the society shall think not worthy of public notice.
10. The letters containing the names of authors whose performances shall be rejected, or which shall be found unsuccessful after a trial of five years, shall be burnt before the society, without breaking the seals.
11. In case there should be a failure, in any year, of any communication worthy of the proposed premium, there will then be two premiums to be awarded in the next year. But no accumulation of premiums shall entitle an author to more than one premium, for any one discovery, invention, or improvement.
12. The premium shall consist of an oval plate of solid standard gold, of the value of ten guineas; on one side thereof shall be neatly engraved a short Latin motto, suited to the occasion, together with the words—The premium of John Hyacinth de Magellan, of London, established in the year 1786. And
Thomas Jefferson is the President of the Society, and Robert Patterson, Caspar Wistar and B. S. Barton Vice-Presidents.—Philadelphia.
on the other side of the plate shall be engraved these words. Awarded by the A. P. S.—for the discovery of— A. D.—
And the seal of the society shall be annexed to the medal, by a ribbon passing through a small hole at the lower edge thereof.
CONDITIONS OF THE
Extra-Magellanic Premium.
Mr. De Magellan having fixed at ten guineas the sum to be annually disposed of as a premium according to the strict terms of the donation, and the Magellanic fund having been so managed as to produce an annual surplus, the society, with a view to promote as far as may be in their power, the liberal intentions of the donor, have determined that the above
Surplus-Magellanic Fund
shall be employed, in the first instance, according to the strict conditions of the donation, if a sufficient number of deserving candidates shall have applied for the same; otherwise, that such surplus, or so much thereof as cannot be applied as above, be awarded by the society to the authors of useful inventions or improvements, on any subjects within the general view of the Magellanic donation, or to the authors of such communications as may lead to such inventions or improvements, and which communications may be deemed worthy of the premium. The premium to consist of a Gold Medal of the value of not less than twenty, nor more than forty-five dollars; or the same sum in money, at the option of the candidate, accompanied with a suitable diploma on parchment, with the seal of the society, and "may be awarded at such stated meeting of the society, as shall be agreed to at a previous stated meeting; due notice thereof being given to the members."
The society have also thought proper to point out a few subjects, to which they would wish to direct the attention of those who may be disposed to become candidates for the premium; informing them at the same time, that communications on other subjects which come within the general or particular views of the donor, will not be excluded from the competition. It is also necessary to be observed, that all communications for the extra-premium must be made and transmitted agreeably to the form and manner prescribed in the conditions for the original premium.
The objects towards which the society would direct the attention of candidates are,
 1. The best experimental essay on native American permanent dyes or pigments, accompanied by specimens.  2. The best means of navigating our rapid rivers against the stream.  3. The best essay on the general natural history of the ranges of American mountains in the country east of the river Mississippi.  4. The best essay on the natural history and chemical qualities of the hot and warm springs of the United States, or of any one of them.

EXTRACT
From Mathew Lyon's Circular Letter to his Constituents.
"Thirty thousand dollars appropriated toward the expense of making a road from Cumberland, in the state of Maryland, to the state of Ohio, crossing the Allegany mountains, and those called the Blue Ridge, or Laurel Hill, in the narrowest place between the navigable waters of the rivers Potomac and Ohio. This road will be a great accommodation for the people who wish to move to the Western country. To Fort Cumberland there is boatable navigation part of the year; a good road to travel on to Redstone on the Monongahela, about 75 miles, will be of importance to us in many points of view. By this route the Western merchants, may bring their goods to the waters of the Ohio, from Boston, New-York, Philadelphia, or Baltimore, for less than half what it has heretofore cost in transporting goods from Philadelphia. From Alexandria and Georgetown, on the Potomac, the cost of transportation will not (when the road is done, and some further improvements made in the navigation of the Potomac) exceed on third of the present price of carriage from Philadelphia. This will very essentially reduce the price of heavy articles which are brought from the Atlantic ports to the Western country, at least four cents in the pound, which, in crockery, glass ware, steel, copperas, alum, rosin, logwood, pewter, and many other kinds of goods necessary to our country, must be a considerable saving in the pockets of the Western people. The obtaining the law and the appropriation for this road, for the three sessions I have had the honour of being a Western member, has been an object of my most earnest attention; it met with strong opposition from Pennsylvania on the one hand, and from the south of this on the other; it has happily been carried through this year, principally by the aid of the northern members."
NEW-YORK, May 8.
Arrived yesterday morning, the pilot boat Patriot, captain Ingraham, who was dispatched on Saturday evening last in pursuit of the vessels which had been captured within our jurisdiction and sent to Halifax. Captain Ingraham proceeded about 160 miles beyond St. George's Bank, and returned without discovering either of the vessels.
The Russian account of the battle of Austerlitz has been published. It contradicts the French relation of that engagement. It states, that the whole loss of the Russians during the war did not exceed 17,000 men; that so far were they from having any colours taken, that they actually retained all their own, and took one pair of French; that the allied forces were inferior in number to those of the French; and that the Russians commenced their retreat at the particular desire of the emperor of Germany.
PHILADELPHIA, May 12.
GEN. MIRANDA. —The Boston Gazette of last Thursday, contains the following paragraphs.
"A letter has been received in town from Barbadoes, dated 14th April, giving information, (via Trinidad) that Miranda had effected a landing in the Spanish American province of Caracas: That he had taken the town of Camana, on the sea-board—the town of Barcelona on the river Neveri, in the interior and was in full march for the capital of the colony, situated about fifty miles from the coast. Mr. Fitzwilliam acts as his secretary. The expedition failed last from Curraoao. The above information is confirmed by capt. Rishbrough, who arrived here the 6th from Martinique. It appears that the American ship Leander was joined by some British cruisers; and that Miranda has pro-
claimed the independence of the province. The intelligence was brought to Martinique by a Danish vessel."
DREADFUL FIRE!
Between 7 and 8 o'clock on Friday evening last, a fire broke out in a trunk maker's shop, on the North side of Dock street, between the bank of the United States and that of Pennsylvania. It being immediately in the neighborhood of several wooden buildings occupied by cabinet makers, carpenters, blacksmiths and curriers, the flames soon made such progress, in spite of every effort, as to threaten complete destruction to that part of the city. Though every possible exertion was made by the citizens in general, and particularly by those enterprising young men who have formed themselves into hose companies, the fire continued for more than two hours to increase with alarming rapidity. At length having reached Carter's Alley on the north, Third street on the west, and Goshorth alley on the east, it was effectually checked and its progress arrested. Owing, however, to the violence of the wind from South West, a three story brick house in Front street, at the distance of nearly two squares, took fire, and with the one adjoining it was consumed. Several vessels on the river also took fire, but were extinguished without material injury.
We have not been able to ascertain the amount of the damage, the number of buildings consumed, or the names of the particular sufferers. It is supposed that 15 or 20 dwelling houses have been destroyed, besides a great number of work shops of various descriptions.
May 13.
Capt. Martin, of the Louisa, (who arrived here on Saturday last,) left Curraoao the 17th April; at which time no account of the arrival of Miranda on the Spanish Main had been received there. But a report of an insurrection having taken place on the Main, was very current.
May 14.
A letter from the supercargo of the brig Gayoso, of New-York, dated New-Orleans, April 14, says: "We were prevented performing our voyage by the Spanish government, who peremptorily refused us a passage up the Mobile river, after two petitions to the governor and intendant of both the Floridas. The Gayoso was going to Fort Stoddard for the express purpose of getting a load of cotton for the New-Orleans market."
May 15.
The ship John Jay, Fry, from Batavia for Providence, R. I. laden with coffee, &c. (captured some time since by the Driver sloop of war) was condemned at Bermuda the latter end of April, vessel and cargo. An application having been made by the agent of the owners to the high court of admiralty, the ship and cargo have been ordered to England. Another American ship was at Bermuda under similar circumstances.

He has on hand a handsome assortment of Ladies' Kid and Morocco Slippers, superior to any imported. Likewise, a choice assortment of Gentlemen's Boots and Shoes of the best quality—Childrens' Shoes of all sizes. As the above articles he can warrant, as they are his own manufacture, and he will sell lower in price than any importer.

Isaac M'Isaac.
May 21st, 1806.
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 willing 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.
Journeymen and apprentices are wanted.
TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD.
Ran away from the subscriber living in Lexington, a mulatto girl named FANNY, about five feet five inches high, eighteen years of age; she is a very sprightly, sensible girl, capable of exercising great cunning to conceal herself; she is a remarkable good spinner, and has attempted to line herself for the purpose in this neighborhood—paying for a free woman. The above reward will be given to any person who will bring her home, or secure her in any jail.

DARE DEVIL, (OR JOHNSON'S COLT.)
STANDS in Lexington, near the lower end of Mr. Dodge's rope work and adjoining Mr. J. Maxwell's field, at the white stable on the late extension of Upper-Street; to be let to mares at ten dollars the season, which may be discharged by the payment of six within the season. twenty-five cents at the stable door.
DARE DEVIL is an elegant deep bay, black legs, mane and tail, full 15 1-2 hands high, was got by the old imported Don Carlos, his dam by old Harmless, his grand dam by col. Fitzhugh's noted True Whig. To say more of his pedigree I conceive unnecessary. His colts are large and very elegant, and those that have been tried, are found to be horses of great strength and activity, fine figure and gaiety and have, when grown up, commended very high prices; Dare Devil is a horse of fine figure, and great gaiety & sprightliness, and certainly possesses the grand requisites either for the turf, saddle or harness; excellent eyes, fine limbs, strong bone, muscular strength and action equal perhaps to any horse in the United States, as will appear from the following sketch of his performance.
In the fall '97, he won the Jockey Club colt's purse at Lexington; in the fall '98, he distanced the noted running horse Weazle, four miles the heats, at maj. Blackburn's course; the same fall he won a purse at Frankfort, beating several fleet horses; was brought to Lexington the next day by 12 o'clock, notwithstanding the roads were very deep and heavy, was started immediately (without being cleaned) flew the course, leaped a high fence that was put up at a short turn in the course with the intent to keep the horses from flying off the course, was leaped back, saved his distance that heat, and took the purse, two miles the heats, beating col. Bibb's noted running stud horse Black Shark, and col. Kirby's Roan. In August '99, he won a quarter race for 100l. at Miller's Town, carrying 200lbs. to a catch, beating col. Buckner's mare, a noted quarter nag; the same year, in September, he received a forfeit of 500 dollars, on a match with the noted running stud horse Alfred, two miles the heats; the same fall he won a purse at Danville, two miles the heats; the next week he won a purse at Bairdstown, three miles the heats, beating Black Shark, and distancing the noted horse Gold Wire, one week after walked over the course at Louisville for the ft day's purse. There are a great number of other races formerly run by Dare Devil, which he was successful in, but do not state them lest I might be inaccurate; one however I am informed of by Mr. Gatewood—a purse race, the heats, at George Town, where he more than double distanced the famous running horse Diomede, which had been kept by Mr. Gatewood. I believe I may say with propriety, that he has run and won more races than any horse that ever run in this state.
The foregoing statement of his pedigree and performance, is impartial and precise, as near as I could ascertain from good authority.

"TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING."
ORIGINAL
Lines from an unpublished Poem, entitled "The Progress of the Press."
TO THE MEMORY OF GENERAL WASHINGTON.
Great chief! immured within the silent tomb, But still surrounded with a blaze of light, Where Pallas mourns the great Ulysses dead! Say, may a muse inapt in his lay Invoke thy shrine and drop upon its base, True gratitude! the memory of the heart! That long contrite, oppressed with its weight, And lives by utterance of ungov'n'd sounds.
O Washington! this country's father! and the Friend of man, take me where thou and ether share
A calm unruffled by the storms of vice, Where like thy course no human frailty moves, But all is temp'rance! dignity! and truth!
Exalted man! the luminary chief! Around whose urn the state stars conscious roll Leaving a light to inter the grave And break the sullen selfishness of death! The battle's rage to lead and cradle fury To an infant sleep we've his alone! For when the storm with crashing thunder came
We common men were shelter'd by his arm Like happy villagers at harvest home! Something there was so dignify'd in him, None dar'd dispute Jove's seed upon his brow! Nor quip, nor idle joke sat ever there, But grave and awful as the cause he steer'd, He made us fear, yet love authority! And yet this rich pre-eminence of man! Escapes not slander's even-gnawing tooth. God rais'd no base material in it, But Heaven itself is seal'd by impious fools, No wonder then they censure Washington! Attacking all from cradle to the cruch, They trail their venom on the whitest urn!
Yes, 'tis a truth that uninstructed men Freedom's abuse! like some who shake their thirst
And then deface the fountain where they drank, Must kick the lion in the arms of death! So much it serves a coward's pride to tell, At least "he touch'd a sword within its sheath!"
But what is man without humility? A gust of wind that breaks the social fence, And scatters merit to make way for fools. 'Tis not as some suppose, a random leave For all to act as suits their disposition, That sense defines just government. So thought not Washington the great, the good!
So thought not Hamilton the deep profound! Men, who compos'd a galaxy below, And shone with pure, inimitable light!
Define true glory, say what it infers? "A fond attachment to posthumous fame," It feeds the lamp of everlasting fire! And lit these patriots smiling to their graves! They fought with Albion, Albion was a foe, The stoutest Amazon of modern times! They fought and conquer'd, thence arose A glut of wonder! and spacious room For exercise of magnanimity! Well, was it wrong with one so bent, and yet So strong, to form alliance amicable? Whose manners, country and domestic beauty Commingled with our own, and whose proud blood
Do what we may, will run along our veins, The high flush'd children of a graver mother!
I love a government constructed so That pride's the first ingredient in it, And still that pride sustained by resolution To fight, or cut at once the lure of war. There is a man, a true American The smallest diamond of the statesman's mine And yet the greatest in its value, I love To make my heart his bezil and wear him There entire—give me the man like Randolph Virtue's friend! whose mind most impetuous Shines like a candle in a merchant's vault To show the trash for which we barter freedom. What are these broadcloths, muslins, stock- ings, pray
Tomen made merely wearing none at all? What are these bottles, iron, peeler ware, To men whose jewel freedom should remain? Who see vast quantities of land before 'em And home-made stuff to put upon their backs. Republics live by stern integrity, Or still are worse than monarchies severe, Give me the England, England with her faults, Who never barter'd what was national, And never pick'd till convinced by knocks! Speak not this language to European chiefs, 'Our nose is tender pull it if you dare, 'But if you twist it, place some cotton under.' Give hands to France, to Spain set arms a- kin,
Clos'd fists to Britain is not dignity. This is not Washington, nor those her sons, Who second Carthaginian measures! If all have wrong'd us, banish all at once, Or make them take the produce from our shores. For still be 'em all this carrying stuff Will dig a grave less sweet than Burns's cot- ters.
Two sorts of bread our goodly world affords One foreign spread with human blushes; The other native, dressing out the mind In sweet contentment's patriotic grain! Give me the bread my country can afford, And though I ask it with a beggar's voice, 'Twill seem more sweet than vapid luxuries eats.
Tasted with labour in a foreign land! There is a holy prejudice in man, His country's love, who feels not this A wilderness deserves of wide extent And many beasts to bear him company! What is this life, without attachment To something less extensive than the world? Depend to me to GoldenGate mine, Where starry days the splendid day of man. If there be chance a native public comes Brought by some casual hand to cheer my sight,
How mean the diamond looks, else valued high!
This country love pervades the darkest realm, And shortens night to the poor Greenlander.

"The Americans in all their distresses and when their boasted independence and union seemed to be on the verge of dissolution would listen to no abatement of their claims. Some
idea may be formed of their feelings and their unbroken spirit from this single circumstance, that above a thousand of them had performed all their late marches without shoes or stock- ings, and had their feet decorated by the fe- so as to leave a track of blood behind them. [History of England.]

FOR SALE.
18,900 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, railing flock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes and pea- vines. All along the river is the sugar tree, 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 resin;
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 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 hun- dred 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 pro- duce good cotton and hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country black- smiths, consumes thirteen thousand buth- els 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 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 seam, 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.

IMPORTANT.
TO all those who with either to become citizens or to hold lands in that delight- ful country south of Green river. The subscriber being inclined to remove to Tennessee, offers for sale, the plantation on which he now resides, together with six thousand acres of land, situate on both sides of Red river, and Big Whip- perwil, including several fine mill seats, and as valuable a body of timber as any on Red river; surrounded by barrens, some of which are equal in quality to any in Logan county; about 90 acres of cleared land, under good fence, a small apple orchard of the best fruit, a peach and cherry orchard, all in full perfection. On the premises is a large and elegant two story Brick House, entirely new, to- gether with other necessary buildings. In point of health and beauty, this situa- tion perhaps is exceeded by none in the state of Kentucky. The plantations lay one on the north, the other on the south side of the river, a little below where the two forks unite, and just opposite the confluence of Big Whipperwil. Those streams afford water sufficient (the river in particular) all the year to support a merchant and saw mill. A considerable quantity of the timbered land is fine rich bottom.
The subscriber has also for sale sundry other tracts of land in Logan county, and likewise in Christian county, one tract in Livingston county, and one on Cum- berland river, Stewart county, state of Tennessee; he has in one complete tract in Christian 15,000 acres, equal perhaps in value, to any tract in that country. It is situate on the main source of Little river, including several miles on both sides of the river, and including some fine mill seats, (this river is a
