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

TO THE VOTERS OF KENTUCKY.
The buzz of an approaching election, for members to serve in the next general assembly, induces me to make a statement of a few facts, and submit to you for your consideration, before you give your suffrage.
By the constitution, adopted at Danville, in the year 1792, the sheriffdom and several other offices were made elective; and the justices of the county court having all the judicial business of the county to attend to, it was thought nothing more than reasonable, to allow them certain perquisites or fees, annexed by law to their office, as a compensation for their services—that during the continuance of that constitution, which was from 1792 to 1799, the sheriffs of the several counties were elected, and for the fees then fixed by law, did all the duties of the office, without complaint—that in the month of August 1799, a convention was held at Frankfort, for revising and altering that constitution, and one of the most material points which came before the convention, was that of the sheriffdom; and it was then contended, that the sheriffdom instead of being elective, ought to be given to the county court justices, as a compensation for their services, instead of the fees then allowed them by law. But those who were in favor of the sheriffdom's continuing to be elective, opposed it on two principles: first, that the sheriff was an officer of the county, and ought to be elected by the voice of the people; second, that all offices ought to be distributed as equally as possible, and it would be improper to give any set of men the exclusive right to so lucrative an office as that of the sheriffdom; which objection was answered, that the sheriff was not only an officer of the county, but of the commonwealth in general; and it was very unimportant to the people, whether he was elected, or taken from the justices of the county court, while the fees paid to the justices, was a heavy and unnecessary burthen on the people, and it could not be expected of them to do the duty, without receiving a compensation: and therefore, it would be better to give the sheriffdom to the justices of the county court, who would receive it in regular rotation, and which would be a full compensation for all the duties enjoined on them. At length the point was carried, and by the new constitution, the sheriffdom instead of being elective, is given to the justices of the county courts, and the legislature the session following, in conformity with the intent and meaning of the constitution, repealed all laws giving fees to the justices of the county court. That the sessions of 1800 and 1801, passed away, without any law passing relative to justices' or sheriffs' fees. But you will find by an act passed in the year 1800, the sheriff is allowed until the first day of September, to account for officers' fees, put into their hands for collection—and in the year 1802, when both houses were crowded with justices of the county court, nearly the same fees were given to justices, as they received prior to the adoption of the constitution, and the additional fee of one dollar and fifty cents, given to the sheriff, for summoning and empannelling a jury in a criminal case—and in the year 1803, when the house was still crowded with justices of the county court, the following additional fees were given to the sheriffs, to wit: for summoning a jury to try the right of property, one dollar and fifty cents; for taking a replevin bond, fifty cents; for taking a forthcoming bond, fifty cents; for serving a scire facias nineteen cents; for serving a subpoena in chancery, nineteen cents; for serving a declaration in ejectment, on the first tenant, twelve cents, and on every other tenant after the first, thirty-four cents; for serving a writ of possession, thirty-seven cents, for every tenant mentioned in the writ, for serving a writ of fessio, thirty-seven cents; for each tenant mentioned in the writ, for apprehending a criminal, one dollar and sixty-six and two thirds cents; for executing a peace or search warrant, sixty six and two thirds cents; and for seizing and selling any property, taking or collecting either of the revenue taxes, county levy, clerks', or other officers' fees, where the amount is under one dollar, twenty-five cents; and where it exceeds one dollar, six per cent. in addition
thereto—and that at the last session, or in the year 1805, when there was a majority of both houses justices of the county court, the fees of the justices were raised about one fourth higher than they were at any time prior to, or at the adoption of the new constitution; which will appear more plain, by examining a transcript of the laws giving fees to the justices of the county courts, and sheriffs of this commonwealth, which is hereto annexed, and shews what fees they were entitled to receive in the year 1799, and what fees they are entitled to receive at this time.
It is not my intention, fellow citizens, to accuse the legislature with corruption; but surely, when on examining, and finding in the small space of six years, that is, from 1799, (when the sheriffdom was given to the justices of the county court,) to the year 1805, you find the sheriffs' fees have been raised more than one half higher than what they were, when there was a very remote probability of the justices ever receiving them—and that since the year 1801, fees have been given to the justices, to the amount of one seventh more, than what they ever were before the sheriffdom was given them; and then recollect, that at every session, at least one half of both houses have been justices of the county court, who are at some time, to receive these sheriffs' and justices' fees—and I think you will say with me, that interest must have had too great an influence on their minds, to permit them to have done complete justice to their constituents; neither do I wish you my fellow citizens, to think, that I believe all the justices of the county court, who were in the house at the passage of these laws, so depraved, as to favour them; but certainly there is so near a connection between the profit and commission, that it now becomes you to examine strictly into their conduct, and see if there are not some, who have either by their influence in the house, or by their vote, at some one of the different stages through their passage, encouraged or supported them: for it is not necessary for a member to vote for a bill on the final passage, to make him criminal: for if he does not oppose it at every stage, he sanctions it, or at least, it carries a suspicion of favouring it, and a member like a man's wife ought not to suffer himself to be suspected: for if once she is suspected, her happiness is gone; and if he suffers himself once to be suspected, he ought to lose your confidence: for it is too late, after sustaining an injury, to declare, you have put too much confidence in your representatives: for that will never heal the wounds they have caused, and danger is only to be guarded against before it happens.

Territory of Louisiana, ss. District of St. Louis.
Personally appeared before me, one of the judges of the territory aforesaid, Samuel Hammond junr. who being sworn according to law, deposeth and saith, that some time after a publication in the Kentucky Gazette, made its appearance in St. Louis, which publication was laid to be a statement of the expedition of Lieut. James B. Wilkinson up the Missouri; he, this deponent, was in company with Doctor Andrew Steele, when the Doctor observed, that so far as the statement went, as coming from him, that is, between the inverted commas, it was substantially correct; but that it was in some part incorrect, and that he should send forward for publication, to the Editor of the Kentucky Gazette, a disavowal of the whole that was stated to have come from him; that it was not for him to point out what part of it was true, and what part untrue.

Being desired by Maj. Seth Hunt to state the particulars of a conversation that took place at my house; in consequence of seeing a publication in the Kentucky Gazette, of the day of 1806, respecting the expedition up the Missouri river, under the command of Lieut. James B. Wilkinson—I certify, that Doctor Andrew Steele acknowledged the said publication, as far as the inverted commas, to be substantially correct, and nearly in his own words; and that I have repeatedly heard Doctor Steele make the statement above alluded to. (Signed) THOMAS F. REDDICK.

The above certificate I presented to Doctor Steele this day, and he acknowledged, that it was correct, and said, that he had no objection to make to it. (Signed) THOMAS F. REDDICK.

At the request of Maj. Seth Hunt, I do hereby certify and declare, that some time after the appearance of a publication in the Kentucky Gazette, at St. Louis, touching the expedition up the Missouri, under the command of Lieut. James B. Wilkinson, Doctor Andrew Steele in conversation respecting the said publication, in presence of Thomas F. Reddick, William C. Carr, Samuel Hammond junr. and myself, observed, that "that part of the said piece in the inverted commas, was substantially correct; but that a part of said publication, wherein mention was made of the persons interested in the goods, was not correct; and that he should therefore, contradict the said statement, as it was not for him to point out the parts thereof that were untrue." I am positive, that the above is the substance of what Doctor Steele at that time observed: because I did not conceive that a misstatement of a part, rendered the whole untrue. (Signed) E. HEMPSTEAD.
St. Louis, June 20th, 1806.
I have this day presented the above certificate to Doct. Steele, who
acknowledges the same to be true and correct. (Signed) ED. HEMPSTEAD. Sworn to this 20th June, 1806, before me, (Signed) S. HAMMOND, J. P.
FROM THE WESTERN WORLD.
The Kentucky Spanish Association, Blount's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's Expedition.
[CONTINUED.] One of the Editors being informed by Mr. Brown, that Governor Greenup has written a letter to him in part his conversation with respect to him, we beg leave to lay before the public the following communication from Mr. Hopkins, who was requested to favor us with his sentiments on the subject, having been present during the whole of the conversation between Governor Greenup and J. W. Leaving our subscribers to decide on the preference which ought to be given to the weight of testimony; we shall conclude it at present, and continue our investigation of the conspiracy next paper.
Frankfort, 9th July, 1806.
GENTLEMEN, Agreeable to your request, I feel no hesitation in communicating my impressions arising from the conversation between governor Greenup and Mr. Wood, relative to the "Kentucky Spanish Association," during the whole of which, I was present.
I have a clear recollection that the statement contained in the first number of the Western World, is in substance, correct: and from the willingness with which the governor seemed to impart the information, I am much astonished at a denial of any part of it. With regard the passage to which you particularly called upon my attention, I well remember that governor Greenup stated that he conversed with Mr. Brown on the subject of the propositions of the Spanish Minister, and that Mr. Brown seemed in a guarded manner to approve of them; but on the Governor's "expressing his abhorrence at the scheme," all communication afterwards, between him and any of the party, was entirely off.
I deprecate the circumstance that has imposed the necessity of this application, and the more especially, because I had thought it would never exist; but, unappalled at the idea of incurring the displeasure of the great, if you deem this letter important to your cause, you are hereby privileged to make use of it.
I am, Gentlemen, with respect, Your humble Servant, S. G. HOPKINS. To the Editors of the Western World.
ASPECT OF DOMESTIC AFFAIRS.
Groaning beneath the oppressive weight of unabsolved crimes; bowed down with iniquity and drudging the development of a dark and treacherous scheme: at a moment when they were basking under the fond delusion that no man had the temerity to attack them, or dared to expose to light a scheme generated in the deep recesses of dark and polluted souls; the members of the Spanish Conspiracy, have clearly evinced their guilt by their deportment.
The first number of the Western World had not been two hours in circulation, when a general fermentation was observable among the people. The good man and the friend to his country, pleased to see men heretofore shielded by power, and guarded by wealth, precipitated from their fancied heights, and arraigned at the bar of popular opinion, looked upon them with an unjaundiced eye: the supernatural qualities which superstition had attached to their characters, disappeared at the approach of enquiring reason, and they saw beings subject to all the frailties attendant on human nature, and men like themselves. Reclaimed from their superstitious ideas of greatness, the people have commenced an impartial investigation of the charges which have been preferred against the enemies of their country. Unbiased by prejudice, and unawed by power; the great body of the people, the honest man and the friend to his country, are now presiding in the grand tribunal of public opinion, firmly resolved to support truth, and justice, and load treacherous dishonesty with the eternal execrations of an indignant people.
On the other hand, the members of this complicated plot, affailed at a moment when they least apprehended it, when basking in the sunshine of popular favour, encompassed with wealth and the ensigns of power, they vainly plumed themselves on the belief that no individual dared whisper to an injured people the dangers that had threatened them, and point the dispensing pistol at the portentous cloud of noxious vapours gathering around their devoted heads.
The first number of the Western World gave the knell to the departing spirit of their fatal security. The lacinated forms of virtue and patriotism, floated in airy vapours before their trou-
bled imaginations, and flayed upon the mind of the self convicted traitor; consternation seized his polluted soul, and guilt played upon every feature of his face. In the first paroxysms of despair, his eye unaccustomed to peruse the bold and dignified language of truth, traces and retraces the self same line, dubious of the correctness of their own vision, the unsteady hand impelled by the workings of a monitor who never deceives us, betrays the scene which is passing within: agitated at length beyond the power of restraint, he lacks composure in a momentary pause. True to his charge the messenger of darkness administers the completing dose; the effect is instantaneous, enthralled of his remaining honesty, relieved of his load of shame, he stands confessed, a flameless traitor and a finished villain. Plans dark as the minds in which they were generated, pass in review before the assembled conspirators. Mino: projects for a moment arrest their attention; but determination ultimately fixed on the grand point of unfathomable darkness. Sorely galled in the most vulnerable part, they descend from their former dignified deportment and mix with these plebeians, whom they were on the eve of bartering away like slaves. Inflated with anger, their hirelings, are pouring their billingsgate abuse on those who have arraigned them. Attempts are now making to influence the popular mind, and raise the hue and cry against us, under the hope, that in the general confusion they will be permitted to pass unexamined. Delusive hope; scarcely a circumstance has transpired but what we anticipated; the point is in view, and with truth and justice on our side, we shall advance unappalled through the chaos of opinion, regardless of the clamours of intriguing politicians the scurility of hired advocates, or the bluffing language of their faithful satellites.
No Federalism! No Burrism! Insinuations and whispers are industriously circulated that the Editors of the Western World are the tools of the Federal and Burr parties. No charge is more unfounded—No set of men we hold in greater abhorrence than the leaders of the Federal and Burr factions, or any factions whatever. There are Burrites however, in the state of Kentucky, and we know them; but happily they are only to be found among the conspirators we are now exposing. We were well acquainted with the object of col. Burr's visit to the state of Kentucky, before he left the city Washington. We knew the proceedings of his agents in this state, at New Orleans, and at St. Louis—we are perfectly informed of the nature of his contract with general Wilkinson, as likewise the articles agreed to at Frankfort, between him and Mr. John Brown. But these will be detailed in the concluding part of our narrative. We only request at present the attentive perusal of every independent citizen, to the proofs which will be brought forward, both of the existence of the conspiracy of the Spanish association, and of another equally dangerous, which probably will only be destroyed by the purchase of the Floridas.
STATE OF KENTUCKY, SCT. Court of Appeals.
June 20th, 1806. John W. Hunt and others, Appellants, against The heirs of Frederick Warnick deceased, appellees.
The Court being now sufficiently advised of and concerning the premises and having inspected the record and proceedings herein, delivered in the following written opinion, to wit:
In this case, the material and important question is, can aliens take by descent or inherit lands in this commonwealth.
By the common law of England, aliens are incapable of taking by descent or inheriting lands. (Coke Litt. 8. 2 Black. Com. 219. Bac. 80.)
By the ordinance of the Virginia legislature, passed in 1776, it is declared that the common law of England, all statutes or acts of Parliament made in aid of the common law, prior to the fourth year of the reign of King James the first, and which are of a general nature, and not local to that kingdom, &c. shall be the rule of decision, and shall be considered as in full force until the same shall be altered by the Legislature.
The eighth section of the article of the Constitution of this state, declares that the laws of Virginia, of a general nature, and not local to that state, &c. shall be in force until altered or repealed by the General Assembly. It must, therefore, be manifest that the common law of England, respecting aliens, is in force in this commonwealth inasmuch as no law of Virginia or this state has changed, repealed or altered this principle of the common law. The constitution and laws of the United States a long train of acts of the Virginia Legislature, also the acts of the General Assembly of this commonwealth, clearly evince, that the government of the Union, Virginia, and this state, have considered the common law of England respecting aliens as being in force, and

that all foreigners are deemed aliens, except such as shall or have become naturalized. Wherefore, it is decreed and ordered that the decree of the General Court be received, with costs, and the cause is to be remanded, with directions to dismiss the complainant's bill with costs Which is ordered to be certified to the said General Court.

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 in 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 excruciating 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. 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.

YOUNG LADIES' ACADEMY.
The examination of the Young Ladies in Mrs. Beck's Academy, commenced on Monday last, and continued until Thursday. The several branches of literature on which they were examined, consisted of spelling, reading, writing, arithmetic, English grammar, composition, rhetoric, logic, natural philosophy, astronomy, geography and music; in each of which, they acquitted themselves with great credit, and in a manner highly honorable to their preceptresses. This examination evidenced great attention to their studies, on the part of the pupils, and gave ample testimony of the superior qualifications and ability of the head of the school. The uncommon progress the young Ladies have made, is highly flattering to Mrs. Beck, and must be a source of joy and consolation to parents, who have intrusted their daughters to her care. The Editor cannot forbear expressing the satisfaction he experienced in attending the examination, nor can he withhold that tribute of applause to the young Ladies, or of approbation to Mrs. Beck, which was evinced by every spectator. He cannot close the subject, without congratulating the public on the establishment of this Academy—an institution which promises to become more important, than any in our country.
In an age of science—in a country where polite education is essential to our intercourse in society—and at a period when we are shaking off the prejudices of Gothic barbarism, it was a source of pain to the philanthropic bosom—to the mind of enlarged views, and to the heart which held in proper estimation, the importance of the female character to our happiness, to see the minds of that sex wrapped in ignorance, and subjected to all the inconveniences attendant on a want of education. Happily for our country, this source of pain and anxiety is removed,—and the opportunity now offers, of making the female sex what they were destined to be by a beneficent Providence, the fother of our cares, the consolation and ornament of the human race.
COMMUNICATED.
It has been long a just matter of complaint, that the plan of education for the female mind, has generally been by no means equal to the rank, which females hold in all civilized society. Those who had the pleasure of attending three days past, the examination of the young Ladies in Mrs. Beck's Academy, must rejoice in beholding a foundation laid, for removing in a great measure, this ground of complaint. Let the world be told, that young Ladies from every part of the State, are here, not only made perfect in the elegant and useful arts of reading, and spelling, and writing, and accounts, and drawing and music, but that they have also infused into them, with great care, the first principles of geography, and astronomy, and logic, and rhetoric, and natural philosophy. In the institution, we hail the dawn of that day, when science shall establish her universal empire over the inhabitants of the Western world—when sisters shall vie with their brothers in their knowledge of every useful part of literature—and when mothers shall be able to judge for themselves, what progress their sons and daughters are making, in the places of public education.

NEW-YORK, June 25, 1806. To the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser.
The enterprise of General MIRANDA, in my ship Leander, having excited considerable interest and attention in the public mind, which has been for some time past, deceived by various, ridiculous and unfounded rumours, I think it proper to give publicity to the following extract of a letter, which I have just received from a gentleman of respectability, on board the Leander, the correctness of which, may be relied on.
Your very humble servant, SAMUEL G. OGDEN.
Extract of a letter, dated Grenada, May 27, 1806, from a gentleman on board the Leander, to Samuel G. Ogden.
"We left Jacquemel on the 27th March, arrived at the island of Aruba on the 9th of April, where, after taking in sufficient water, we failed on the 15th April, and being off the Main on the 27th, near Port-Cavello, we fell in with a Spanish brig of 20* guns, and a schooner of 16 guns, by both of which we were attacked, and had an action of half an hour; but no apparent damage done on either side; however, during the contest, we were so unfortunate as to lose two Schooners, we had chartered at Jacquemel, on board of which vessels, were about 60 men. This circumstance, was occasioned by those Schooners falling to leeward, and our not being able to separate the brig from the Schooner, in which case, we certainly should have saved our little convoy; however, to remedy this evil, we immediately determined to go to Trinidad, to obtain such information and assistance, as the British might be disposed to afford us.
"On our way, we fortunately fell in with the British sloop of war Lilly, Capt. Campbell, who received us with much cordiality, and informed us, it was his particular instructions to serve us, at the same time advising us to put into Grenada, as the Governor of that island had some particular communication to make to General Miranda. We have already received the Governor's assurance of the most prompt co-operation. We shall probably take up one or two days at most, in making the necessary arrangements here, and shall then proceed immediately to Trinidad, (in company with the Lilly sloop of war,) where we understand the Governor of that island will also give us every assurance necessary.
"The Jason frigate is now on the coast, with a number of volunteers on board; this ship is commanded by Captain Cochrane, son of Admiral Cochrane, who, we understand from the best authority, has particular instructions to protect and forward our enterprise.
"I have now the happiness to observe, that this new turn to our operations, has given much animation to all friends on board the Leander, and I sincerely hope, my next will inform you, that our glorious enterprise is fully accomplished."
NORFOLK, June 27. MIRANDA.
After so many absurd and contradictory accounts of this person, we are enabled to present our readers with one which may be relied on.
A brig from Barbadoes, went up the Bay yesterday, from on board of which, a passenger forwarded some Barbadoes papers to a gentleman in this place, who has since favoured us with them, from one of which, will be found the article respecting Miranda.
This expedition, undertaken with insufficient means, and conducted in the most unskillful manner, and with unaccountable delay, has terminated as might have been expected.
It was reported at Barbadoes, that Admiral Cochrane intended to furnish Miranda with some aid, with which he proposed to renew his attempt on the Continent; but this we doubt: because we have been informed from good authority, that
if the people were prepared and disposed for a revolution, that Miranda is not a man in whom they have confidence. This was well understood at Trinidad, with which and the Main, there is much communication, though the nations are at war. New-York pap.
PETERSBURG, July 1.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in Norfolk, to his friend in this town, received by the last Mail.
"By accounts from St. Thomas, in 11 days, it appears, that France had declared WAR against SWEDEN and DENMARK.
"General MIRANDA has arrived at Barbadoes, having been unsuccessful in his attempt on Spanish America. The two Schooners that accompanied him, were captured, with several of his principal officers; and his own ship had a severe battle with two Spanish guarda costas, but beat them off."
(The Intelligence.)
MIRANDA.
So much has been published with respect to this distinguished adventurer; the accounts have been so various and contradictory, that there seems little probability of arriving at the truth. We are, however, more inclined to believe, that he has failed in his enterprise, and that his two Schooners, on board of which were several of his officers have been captured. Accounts from various sources, seem to corroborate this intelligence. It is supposed, that all those found on board the Schooners, (among the rest, a son of Col. Smith, of New-York,) will be treated as pirates, and suffer the punishment of death.
Every friend to the freedom and happiness of man, must regret the failure of this attempt, to rescue the inhabitants of South America, from the most ignoble bondage, ever borne by any people. Governed by priests, as bigotted as illiterate, they experience all the terrors of religious fanaticism, and groan under a load of the most intolerable slavery. A change in any event, could not render their situation more deplorable, and we heartily wish Miranda had been successful.
NEW-YORK, June 20.
LATE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE
A Gentleman who arrived this morning in the ship Charles, in 39 days from Penzance, has obligingly furnished us with a file of London papers, to the 7th May, inclusive. This Gentleman informs us, that in a conversation he had with Mr. Munroe, just before he left London, our Minister mentioned, that he had reason to believe, that the differences between Great Britain and the United States, will soon be advantageously settled.
A new treaty has been ratified between Russia and the Ottoman Porte.
"The Swedish troops, says the London Courier, are evacuating Lunenburg, and retiring to Swedish Pomerania, which, it is supposed, the Prussians will immediately invade.
"There was a report yesterday, May 6, that Count Haugwitz was to be sent to England, to adjust the differences between the two governments. A man more unlikely to succeed in such a mission, could not have easily been selected. We do not believe the report." (New-York pap.)
LONDON, May 9.
This morning the Hamburg mail due on Wednesday, arrived, and the intelligence which it brings, is of the utmost importance. If the accounts from different parts of the Continent may be relied upon, the Russians have actually evacuated Raguila and Cataro, in consequence of which, the French have discontinued the works which they were constructing at Brannau, and the divisions of Marshals Ney and Soult have commenced their march. A slight skirmish has taken place between the Swedes and Prussians, near Ratzeburgh, the result of which was, that the former, being inferior in number, were compelled to retire.
The insignificant fortress of Gatta, still holds out, although a French army of 24,000 men, with a formidable train of artillery, are employed in the siege. The garrison consists of 6000 men, who are supplied with provisions. It is supposed, that Mafena means to attempt the invasion of Sicily, as he has collected a number of transports; but we think it very improbable that he would attempt such an enterprise, while the English and Russians are complete masters of the sea.

16 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 stock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane, brakes and vines. 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, shews clear tall upon its surface; and the rock itself takes 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 buthels 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 craft 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, 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.
