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 bent, and secure it so that it will carry forty miles safely on horse-back. 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 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 of little other use; I answer, cannot they be employed at the manufacturing of flax or hem? May, 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 to cents, if to mix different colours is required, 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 feed. 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.

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 twenty pounds, Virginia currency.

THE COMMUNICATION
Enclosed to the Editor of this paper for Mr. Magruder, (Concluded.)
Customs observed among the Indians, when they visit the graves of their deceased relations. When an Indian goes to the grave of his friend or relation, he addresses himself to the grave, as though the corpse in it was living, and relates every misfortune that happened to the family since the death of the person in the grave, whom he is speaking to. After which, he leaves there a piece of tobacco, some victuals, or spirituous liquors, should he have any, and departs.
The Indians are an indolent people, which makes them fond of any kind of amusement that serves to pass away time, and make them merry: consequently they are fond of gaming and dancing. They have a variety of games, too tedious to mention, and will stake the shirts on their backs, and are remarkably honorable in paying their debts. They have also a variety of dances: the morning dance, which begins in the evening, and continues until morning; when the feast is served up to the company; an other dance is performed by a certain society: each member of the society is supposed to possess secret arts, with which he can destroy the life of his neighbour, when he pleases, without its being known to them, or any one else. All sexes are admitted into this society, with a great deal of ceremony. When they dance, it is common for each person to have an Otter skin; when the oldest members place themselves in the middle of the floor, and the dance begins, by their singing the songs of the society. There is a circle formed round the fingers immediately, and each person commences dancing with his Otter skin in his hand. After a few minutes, some one of the company makes a noise like an Otter—shakes his skin, and walks or dances round the inside of the circle—suddenly makes a motion with his skin at some one of the company, who screams out, and falls, as if he had been shot with a gun—in a few minutes he recovers, and in his turn, loadens his Otter skin, and pretending to cough up the ball he was just shot with, when it appears that the ball is in his mouth; he then puts the nose of the Otter skin to his mouth—when his piece is loaded. He then goes round the circle, as before was done, and shoots any one he pleases. In this way, the dance is continued for such a length of time as the managers think proper. No person can quit the dance until it is broke up by them. The members of this society were formerly much feared by their neighbors; but they are treated with as much contempt at present, as they were formerly feared.
The begging dance is performed by the young men and boys, who dress like warriors, and go about through the village, singing the war songs and dancing. It is customary for the heads of families, whose house they dance at, to give them something. This is the dance they generally dance among the white people. There are a number of other dances danced among
the Indians: such as the bear dance, the turkey dance, the new-corn dance, the pipe dance, and some others.
Mode of transacting business among the Indians. When business of importance comes before an Indian chief, he calls a council of the heads of each family of his village, and lays the business before them, and wishes them to deliberate on it; when an orator will rise, and after stating the importance of the business before them, he will give his opinion to the council respecting it. Should the council concur in his opinion, nothing more will be said, and the council will be adjourned by the chief. Should a difference of opinion take place among the counsellors, the subject will be debated by the different parties; after which, the chief will adjourn it as before. When the chief gives his final opinion to any thing that is thought of importance, it is done in the presence of his counsellors: as no business is done by him privately.
No crime among the Indians, is punished with death, except murder: in which case, the chiefs and old men assemble together, and enquire into the nature of the act; and after they are informed of the particulars of the transaction, and are of opinion, that the criminal acted in his own defence, or there was something that authorised him to kill the other, they will make a present to the friends of the dead, and tell them, they have wiped away the blood of the dead, and if they are the cause of spilling more blood, that the vengeance of the village will fall on them. But if they find the person has been murdered without a cause, they will lay nothing to his relations—who punish the murderer as they think proper; and it generally is with death. The Indians as above observed, live in villages from the month of April to the month of November; during which time, the women cultivate corn, beans, potatoes, pumpkins, and other common vegetables that are cultivated by the Whites. There are but few of the men that assist their women in farming. The Little Turtle and a young Weyau chief, are the only two Indians that I know of in this country, that use the plough. The balance of the year is spent in hunting. (note the young chief is called George.)
The Indians at present, decrease in their number; particularly those who live nearest the white settlements. This depopulation is owing to the scarcity of game, and a continual state of intoxication.
The Indians divide the time as the Whites do: (by moons.) Autumn, winter, spring and summer. January is called the buck moon, February the bear do. March the young bear do. April the crow—May the crane—June the whippoorwill—July the corn hilling moon—August the roasting-ear—September the hard corn—October the little fire—November the big fire, and December the young buck moon.
The Indians hold property individually, as the white people do; but they are not so fond of it as the Whites are—they are much kinder to their neighbors and strangers, than the Whites are.
The Indians have no laws—no coercive power, nor any kind of government. Their only contracts are their manners, and that moral sense of right and wrong, which, like the sense of tasting and feeling, in every man, makes a part of his nature. An offence against them, is punished with contempt, and an exclusion from society, &c.
The Indians believe, that the thunder and lightning, and other natural disturbances of the natural world, are independent and distinct powers, or beings, and worship them occasionally.
The powwowers or priests, were formerly in high estimation among the Indians: as it is believed, that they are the agents of the different great powers, or great spirits, that govern the universe—and that they have power to kill or cure as they think proper. They generally act as doctors, and it's not uncommon for them to extract a hair-ball, or the whisker of a bear, or a wolf, or a panther, from the body or joint of their patient, or at least, make them believe so. They also go through the village early in the morning, preaching, and telling the people what appears most advisable for them to employ themselves at, during the day. Those characters are not so much respected now, as they formerly were.
I have never understood, that the North-Western Indians buried their dead in any other way, than
the modes used at present; which are various. Some lay the dead body on the top of the ground, and make a crib or pen over it, and cover it over with bark. Others dig graves as the Whites do, and lay the corpse in, and cover it with bark, and cover that with earth. Others will make a coffin out of strong boards—in that they will put the Indians, to bring as much of the decedent's property with the dead body, as can conveniently be put in the grave with it.

LEXINGTON, JULY 5.
Yesterday being the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence by the United States, the day was celebrated with the usual demonstration of joy by the citizens.
The uniform militia companies, with a large number of citizens, among whom were gen. Charles Scott, general Ro. Todd, gen. W. Russell, colonel Anthony New, maj. James Heard, of Virginia, &c. dined together at Mr. Maxwell's spring. Previous to the company seating themselves at the table, they were addressed by Henry Clay, Esq. in a short but impressive speech. After dinner the following toasts were drank, each accompanied by a discharge from a twivel:
Gen. CHARLES SCOTT, President, Gen. ROBT. TODD, Vice-Presid. Gen. WM. RUSSELL, S. dents.
1. The day—may the principles which governed the patriots this day thirty years ago, be perpetuated to the latest posterity.
2. The United States—enjoying the blessings of Liberty, may they ever be an asylum to the oppressed of every nation.
3. The President of the United States—his country's boast and freemens' blessing.
4. The memories of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin—when our country forgets them, may it no longer enjoy that freedom which those illustrious patriots so ably contributed to achieve.
5. The memories of those heroes who bled in defence of our Independence.
6. Congress of the United States—may their deliberations be free from intrigue, and only tend to the public good.
7. The state of Massachusetts—we hail her political regeneration.
8. The Agriculture and Commerce of the United States—to encourage the one protect the other.
9. May success ever attend the enterprise of our commercial fellow citizens whilst they carry on that commerce through its natural channel.
10. Foreign nations—may our intercourse with them be regulated by their justice and civility towards us.
11. The Militia of the United States—to be useful they must be disciplined.
12. The memory of George Wythe—a faithful labourer in the vineyard of the republic.
13. Principle—uninfluenced by party, may it ever govern us in our selection of characters to fill places of trust, honor and profit.
14. Peace, on honorable terms—whilst we offer the olive branch to other nations, let us remember to keep our arrows well barbed, and our swords and bayonets bright.
15. The Genius of Liberty—driven from the shores of Europe—may her empire extend over the American continent.
16. The various parties in the United States—may they settle down into one, having for its object, the liberty, prosperity and happiness of the nation.
17. The Fair of our country—but for the command of God, we should fall down and worship.
VOLUNTEER.
The rising generation—may they imitate the virtues of their ancestors.
The 4th July 1807—Then may the fair sex partake of the enjoyments of the day throughout the state.
The ensuing legislators of Kentucky—may they prudently revise the militia laws of the state.
General Charles Scott—The Patriot and the Soldier.
Col. Anthony New, a worthy patriot and friend to his country, lately emigrated to our country—May his patriotism be remembered, and his worth duly appreciated.
The orator of the day, our worthy representative.
Our worthy Vice-President of the day—The tried Patriot, the firm Soldier.
The company were again ably addressed, by Jesse Bledso, Esq. after which they returned to town, and the infantry company fired 17 volleys.
The festivity of the day closed with an elegant ball at Mr. Bradley's; where a large assemblage of ladies joined in the celebration, and by their beauty and hilarity, added to the pleasure which was stamped on every countenance.
By a gentleman who passed through the Cherokee nation a few days ago, we are informed, that a very extraordinary duel was fought there on the 16th inst. between James Vann and his brother-in-law, John Falling, (a half-breed) in consequence of a former misunderstanding. Vann sent for his brother-in-law to meet him at an appointed place, about half way between their own houses, for the purpose of giving him satisfaction. They accordingly met, with their seconds, all armed with muskets and pistols. When they approached in sight of each other, they galloped up, so near that their horse's heads were touching, when they fired nearly at the same instant. The contents of Vann's musket, which was thirty rifle bullets, entered the breast of Falling, and he fell dead from his horse; and was left on the ground until the next morning. Vann's coat sleeve was burnt with the powder of Falling's musket.

MIRANDA.
A letter from Curacao, received at New-York, of the 21st May, says The famous Miranda has been in this quarter, but we have heard nothing of him for two weeks past."
A report was in circulation at Barbadoes, when the Urania [arrived at New-York] left there, that the Province of Carraccas had declared in favour of General Miranda.
Schr. Henrietta, Fearson, arrived at Baltimore on Tuesday, from Curacao, whence she failed the 20th May. By her we learn, that the various reports in circulation there respecting MIRANDA, kept the public mind in constant agitation and suspense, without giving the least shadow of certainty to any of his operations. It was generally believed, that if he had acted with more vigor and perseverance at first, his expedition might have been attended with success: but that owing to his waiting a great part of his time in useless and unnecessary manoeuvres, together with his long stay at Jacquetel, he gave the Spaniards sufficient time to become acquainted with his hostile intentions, and to put themselves in a proper state of defence against any attacks he could make, by filling every place in the least liable to invasion, with troops—by apprehending those who appeared to favour him, and have them properly secured, or removed from the coast, and finally, by sending vessels in search of him. There was no certain account of the capture of Miranda's two schooners, and many believed the report only raised by government, to lull the fears of the people.
Balt. Tel.
Captain Manton, arrived at Boston, from Marcellus, in lat. 42, long. 64, was boarded from the Leander, captain Whitby, and treated with great politeness. Whitby showed him the President's late proclamation, and expressed his regret at the unfortunate occasion of it, and said the accident was wholly unintentional.
Virginia Paper.
BRITISH HUMANITY. In a debate in the British house of lords, on the subject of intercourse between America and the West Indies, lord Holland by way of shewing the impolicy of any restrictions upon our trade with those islands, observed, that "He trusted parliament would never again try the experiment which was productive of so much misery to the West India colonies in the period from 1784 to 1785, when their supply from America was cut off; and, in consequence of which, in Jamaica alone, 15,000 negroes died from the famine which that regulation produced."
If 15,000 were starved to death in one island, how many must have died with hunger in the whole of the British islands? And what a dreadful degree of misery must have been endured by those who survived? Yet these restrictions, though occasionally relaxed, are still generally continued in force, by a government, too, which many degenerate Americans hold up to be a model of humanity, honour and justice!
Trent. True American.
LONDON, May 3.
A letter from Deal states, that a very heavy cannonade was distinctly heard about 5 o'clock on Thursday morning. As the sound came in a direction off Boulogne it is conjectured that commodore Owen's squadron had begun his Spring plan of annoying the French batteries.
The letters by the Lisbon mail are very contradictory. Some of them express great apprehensions with respect to the designs of Spain
and France, while others say, that fears on this head have greatly subsided. The Topaze, French frigate which had so long been in the Tagus, had slipped out and passed the Star British sloop of war in safety; the latter being prevented from immediately following the frigate by the batteries on shore—a circumstance which is considered by some as an hostile interference on the part of the Portuguese, but which we cannot view in this light, when we consider that the neutrality of Portugal binds her to protect alike the ships of all nations within her several ports and harbors. An order has been issued by the Spanish government for removing all restraint from American vessels trading to the ports of South America.
The surrender of Cattaro to the Russians continues still to be an object of complaint on the part of France against the court of Vienna. Though the number of the French troops in Iliria and Dalmatia is represented at not less than 30,000, and of course capable of expelling with ease the Russians at Cattaro, who are said to be but a few hundreds, is thrown on the Austrian government, from whose hands alone Bonaparte will receive the possession. The military commander of the post, Gen. Brady, and the civil commissioner Marquis Chifflieri, are accused of having wilfully given up the place to the Russians, and even of having invited and persuaded them, against their inclination to take possession of it; seeking merely to save and cover themselves, by a pretext, from the charge of breaking the engagements of their court, so as to involve it in a war. The Austrian government is thus called upon to punish Gen. Brady and the Marquis Chifflieri, as having traitorously given up its possession, and hazarded involving it in a new war. It is called upon at the same time to expel the Russians by force—a proceeding which has a direct tendency to involve Austria in a war with France.
To embroil two Sovereigns, from whose alliance Bonaparte has to dread the most serious danger to his power, must be the object of this instigating and impelling Austria to obtain by force, a restitution, which, even without supposing France to have as much as 30,000 men in Iliria and Dalmatia, or the Russians to have only a few hundreds in Cattaro, the French ought naturally to be the persons to attempt. From this debate, it is probable that the peace now existing on the continent will not be of long duration; that Bonaparte, if he ever is at peace, is so only for the purpose of enabling himself to renew the war with a certainty of doing more mischief than he wills either to have the opportunity of overwhelming Austria before she is prepared, or, by forcing that power to take any step against the Russians, to dissolve forever a connection, which presents the most terrific aspect to his schemes of power. Austria will, we trust, in this dilemma, act with becoming spirit and honor. The aid of Britain will not be wanting to any nation disposed to assert its independence, and to maintain its honor.
The peace establishment of France is estimated, by a report on that subject presented by Gaudin to Bonaparte, to be 600 millions of livres, and the expense for the current year 894 millions.

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 excavating 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 necessity 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. Dr. Buchanan, in England, and Count Rumford, a native of our own country, with numerous other writers of eminence, have so fully set forth the advantages of Warm and Cold bathing, that the reading of their works, it is presumed, will be amply sufficient to ensure remuneration to the owner, for the expenses incurred in the present undertaking. Persons may pay each time of bathing, or engage for the season. Lexington, 3d June, 1806.

TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING.  ORIGINAL ODE  For the 4th of July, 1806.
Hail lovely morn! thou source of festive joys Resplendent o'er the Land of Freedom rise, With golden sparkles touch the pearly dews, And Light and Liberty at once diffuse.  And thou, the guardian of this western globe, Bright Goddess of the starry robe Columbia! shedding perfumes round, descend Thy light bestreaming locks unbound, While all the strings of joy resound, Come, lead our jocund dances round and round Hark! how the brazen trumpets roar, And cannons thunder round the boundless shore, Our songs of conscious joy to Heaven ascend
Be present Nymphs! ye sons of labor In unthroned strike the labor Bring casks of wine, the goblets bring, Make hoary age and wisdom sing! All, all! shall join the jovial chorus, All celebrate this glorious day, Care's gloomy throngs shall fly before us, Join all in freedom's festive roundelay!
Hark! far around the drums are beating, The distant, still more distant swells repeating, Loud Echo rides o'er Allegheny's rocky chains, His thousand peaks reverberate the strains, Adown his thousand streams they roll, Thundering loud from pole to pole, The hanging woods aloof, Up to the starry roof, Concordant to the mighty chorus swell, And Heavenly Harmony strikes her golden shell.
Such was the boundless joy That sparkled in Columbus' eye When first he saw amid the clouds These mountains rear their piny shrouds— So danc'd his sea-worn throng When their harps to rapturous joy were strung— Th' astonish'd hills and dales around, Listening to the wondrous sound, Hail'd the bright Genius of immortal song.  Ye Sons of Art and godlike Science, Whose golden labors bid defiance To every curse pale-want can bring, Whom Chance or Wisdom's choice has hung Into Freedom's happier world, The bliss of Peace and Independence sing.

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 excellent for raising flock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes and peavines. All along the river is the sugar tree, 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, shows 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 a valuable coal bank 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 buthels per annum. 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 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.

THE SUBSCRIBER
Makes & sells woman's good lined and bound slippers at 69 3/4 a pair by retail. The quality of his work and the unusual low price, will (he conceives) secure him the encouragement of a discerning public, who have annually exported from this place from 20 to 25,000 dollars a year for the article of women's shoes; by their affording him encouragement in this partial experiment, they will soon induce other shoemakers to follow the example, and thereby stop the importation and save the money amongst ourselves.
