FIVE DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN away from the subscriber on Sunday last, a Negro Man named Jim, alias Jim Jackson, but better known in this county and Jefferson by the name of Fifer Jim; he is about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, about 40 years old, has a round flat face, of a very dark colour, and is a stout well made fellow; he was lately confined in the Martinsburg jail from which I relieved him. He has for several years past blowed the fife for the militia companies about Martinsburg and other places, on which he performs very well, & plays the fiddle also. He had on an old surtout coat made of gray coating, overalls and waistcoat of the same cloth, a pair of about half worn shoes, split down the vamp owing to their being too small, and stockings, and probably other clothing with him.

Valuable Real Property for sale by the heirs of Michael M'Keirnan, dec'd.
Part of the real estate of said M'Keirnan in the State of Maryland, viz.
A VALUABLE Plantation of rich Lime-stone Land, on the waters of Conococheague, containing about 273 acres. This Land is of the first rate quality, with a number of never-failing Springs of water, a large proportion of good Meadow, with a House, Still House, Barn, &c. also, a number of Fruit trees, and a never failing stream of water running thro' the place; within sight of a Lutheran Church and in the heart of a German settlement. This property is about 9 miles from Hagers-town and 3 from Potomak river, and has a number of merchant mills near it.
Also for sale, in the town of Hancock, on the river Potomak, one House and Lot, well situated for a store or any kind of public business.
In the State of Virginia.
One Plantation, on which is erected the noted stand called the Half-Way House. This Tract contains 266 acres of Land, the whole of which is tillable, and a great proportion cleared; this Land is particularly adapted to small grain. Its situation makes it more valuable than perhaps many stands in the county, being central between Martinsburg and Bath; it abounds with fine Springs, a good Orchard of choice Fruit; the House is large and well calculated for the reception of travellers, a Stable, and an out house for the family separate from the tavern.
Also, 400 acres of Land, within 2 miles of the town of Bath, 20 of which are cleared and under good fence; this Land is of good quality; on the Land is a House and Stable, with good Water and some Meadow.
Also, a small Farm on Sleepy Creek, about 5 miles from Bath; this place is in good order, with a convenient House and Barn, and Meadow well watered, and a good Orchard.
Also, in the town of Bath, that noted stand known by the name of the Coffee House, adjoining the Bath square; this House is the largest and most convenient for the reception of visitors at Bath, having upwards of 20 lodging rooms, a large hall-room, a dining room, dressing rooms, bar room, and a fine Kitchen.
Also, a Lot on which is erected a large Stable, sufficient to contain 40 horses, near the Coffee House, and a small Dwelling House.
Also, a Lot adjoining the Coffee House, on which is erected a two-story log House weatherboarded and painted, with Store Room, Kitchen and Stable.
It is unnecessary to be more particular, as it is presumed any person wishing to purchase, will first view the premises. By paying a reasonable proportion of the purchase money down, the balance will be taken in easy payments. For further particulars inquire of Laurence M'Keirnan, who resides on the first described place in Maryland, to Timothy Monahan in Hagers-town, Ignatius O'Ferrall, on Mill-Creek, Berkeley County, Virginia, or Andrew Goulding, on Potomak river, 3 miles above Bath.

The following letter from New York, dated April 10th, gives a further account of the proceedings of the circuit court on the affair of the Leander. The Editor of this Gazette presents his sincere thanks to the gentleman to whom he is indebted for these interesting details.
"The district attorney, yesterday morning, filed general demurrers to the plea in abatement of the defendants; they joined in demurrer, upon which he moved for leave to bring on the argument of the demurrer. The defendants asked the court to indulge them with a little time to prepare for the argument, as it was impossible for them to foresee what course the district attorney would take as to their plea, whether he would demur or take issue upon it. The district attorney opposed the application for delay, declaring that the plea was a frivolous one, filed merely for delay, and that the court would give no indulgence to the party filing it. In reply, Mr. Colden, one of the defendant's counsel, declared, that however frivolous the district attorney might consider the plea, the counsel for the defendant had full confidence in it; that the arguing of it would present to the court a question of equal importance perhaps with any that had ever been discussed in it—whether a grand jury was an arbitrary, despotic tribunal, superior to all law, or were bound in their deliberations by those rules of evidence, upon which the liberty and security of every man depended? that he entertained a hope, whenever the question should be argued, of being able to convince the court, to convince even this court, that the plea was good. The judge called upon Mr. Colden to explain what he meant by the words "even this court," which he had laid so much emphasis on—saying, that the only construction the court could put upon them was, that this court had acted in this business partially and improperly, and that it would therefore be more difficult to convince it than it would be to convince any other court. Mr. C. said, that what he had said, he had said, and that if the court put improper constructions on it, he could not help it. The judge said that if he did not make some further explanation, or apologize for the expressions he had used, the court must consider him in contempt and act accordingly. Mr. C. declared he could make no apology, whereupon the court ordered him to be committed for contempt. While the clerk was writing the order, Mr. Colden, after consultation with his friends, rose and declared to the court, that by the words, "even this court," he meant to imply, that as the judge who now presided was the same before whom the original examinations had been taken, he might be supposed to act under the influence of former impressions, and that it would therefore be more difficult to convince him than a judge who had heard nothing on the subject; and that he intended no contempt of the court. With this the judge declared himself satisfied, and annulled the order for his commitment.—After some other observation on the subject of postponement, the judge granted it until afternoon and no longer. The demurrer was argued in the afternoon with great ability. The judge will give his opinion this day."
"In the afternoon the grand jury came in, and handed a paper to the court. The judge asked them if they had gone through their business, and being answered in the affirmative, thanked them for their faithful attention and dismissed them. On opening the paper, lo! it was a presentment against the judge, charging his conduct in taking the examinations in March, with being arbitrary and subversive of the first principles of law and liberty! It is said, that the judge having read the paper, did not hand it to the clerk, but kept it in his own possession, so that its contents are only known from what has come out from some of the grand jury."
[United States' Gazette.]
On Thursday the counsel for the defendant, in the case of the United States against SAMUEL G. OGDEN, charged with being concerned in the expedition of the Leander, moved to put off the trial till the next sittings in September, on his affidavit, that in the trial of the cause James Madison and four other persons (naming them) were material witnesses—and that he believed that at that time he should be able to avail himself of their testimony. His honor Judge Talmadge, yesterday morning, told them he would grant the request so far as to postpone the trial, but not to the time they moved for—but he meant to exercise the authority with which he was invested, and would
order special sittings on the 14th of July; to which time he would put off the cause and no longer.

MIRANDA'S EXPEDITION—AGAIN.
The following communication from a person well known in Richmond, appears in the Richmond Enquirer of the 4th instant. To what credit it is entitled we submit to the judgment of our readers.
"[Endorsed on the back]
"to the Editor of the Enquirer.
"[To be delivered when Miranda's destination is made known: or within one month from the first day of March, whether known or not.]
"Richmond, March 1, 1806.
"Mr. Ritchie,
"Sir—I have heretofore withheld this communication, lest the minister of Spain might have had time to prevent the plan I wish to see effected.
"Miranda has the permission from the British government to make Trinidad the place of rendezvous; he is gone there. The delegates of Carracas, St. Lucia and Mexico, are now there, or expected to meet him. Some delay may take place; therefore it would be imprudent to name the place of attack, rather the place to be surrendered, to be made the seat of confederation.
"If Miranda is not gone to that island, you may laugh at my credulity—if you hear of his being there, you may put more confidence, than heretofore, in any communications I shall make as to this subject. Yours, &c.
"STEPHEN SAYRE."
From the New-York Gazette.
It is well known to the public, that for some time past a prosecution has been depending against me, touching the expedition of my ship, the Leander.
I am sensible that it would be improper for me to discuss the merits of that case in an extra judicial manner: or to make suggestions, which, by any construction, might be deemed to interfere with the course of justice. It is far from my intention to adopt any such measure: on the contrary, I am and always have been, ready to submit to the laws of my country, in confidence, that they will be administered upon pure and proper principles: and if my conduct shall be found to have been legally criminal, I know that I am bound to abide the legal consequences. But yet, whatever may be the event of the pending prosecution, it is a duty which I owe to my friends and myself, and which I can never lose sight of, to vindicate my motive; and if it shall appear that I have acted in good faith—that nothing has been done but with the knowledge and implied approbation of the present administration—I trust, that my vindication will be complete—though political motives may have induced a change in the idea of our rulers.
Be that as it may, as the ultimate result of the present prosecution cannot be foreseen, and the consequences of it may be productive of serious injuries to my mercantile concerns, I have determined, for the present, to suspend all my payments, and wait the issue, with as much tranquility as may be possible.
I am governed in the decision, also, by other causes of the utmost importance, which in my mind render this measure indispensable. Any assistance that I might have required as to pecuniary matters, I have been offered in the fullest extent by my friends, but I have thought it my duty, under existing circumstances, to decline their offer.
The inconvenience which this measure may cause to those who hold my paper, will, I confidently hope, be of but short duration; and with a view of more fully explaining to them my particular motives, and of making them acquainted with the state of my affairs, I request that they will meet me at my house, No. 105, when the necessary explanations shall be given.
SAMUEL G. OGDEN.
April 7.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman on board the Leander, dated Jaquemel, March 1, 1806, received via Baltimore.
"General Miranda has explained to us his plan; and as we were told before we left New-York, when it was explained to us we were at liberty to proceed or return. We are landed and in good quarters; have received what was promised, and money to return, with passage free. The general will get as many men here as he wants; general Pétion at Port au Prince, who has the command of 3,000 mulattoes, speaking the language of the
people of the opposite coast, are all eager to accompany him, and the emperor of Hayti, gives every facility; and for myself, I believe Miranda will succeed. Perhaps we may yet go."
The brig Herculius Courtney, Phillips, in 7 days from Havanna, has arrived at Charleston. Captain P. left Havanna, the 25th March, and informs, that while there, a vessel arrived from St. Thomas, the captain of which stated that the ship Leander, from New-York, had been spoken in the Mona Passage by an English vessel, which permitted her to pass, as the captain of the Leander said the ship was bound to St. Domingo; she was afterwards spoken by another British ship to the southward of St. Domingo, when the same declaration was made, but the British captain observed this was not probable, as she was entirely out of the way if she was bound there, and that he would send her in for examination; that general Miranda, who was on board, then shewed him some papers which he had from the British government, the British captain immediately permitted the ship to proceed on her voyage. It was supposed she was bound to some place near the Carraccas.
A letter from Laguira, dated the 17th March, says "We have 10,000 men in arms to receive Mr. Miranda, who will have a warm reception. An embargo is laid on all vessels, and very uncertain when it will be taken off."
NEW-YORK, April 11.
On the 10th instant, after a long and tedious illness, departed this life in the 78th year of his age, the hon. HORATIO GATES, lieutenant general in the service of the United States during the revolutionary war, in which service he signified himself as a faithful, brave, gallant and distinguished officer. He was a whig in England, and a genuine republican in America. He was attached to the cause of America from a full conviction of its justice, and fought faithfully under its banners thro' every stage of the conflict. He left his native country in the early part of his life, and served several campaigns in Germany, where he acquired the rudiments of military knowledge. He came hither with gen. Braddock, and served in the British army until the conclusion of the peace. He afterwards returned to England, but finally emigrated to America, and purchased an estate in Virginia. On the rupture between this country and Great Britain he was called to take the command of the northern army, and by his skill and good conduct the troops under gen. Burgoyne surrendered prisoners of war. He was a scholar well versed in history and the latin classics, and of correct political principles. His manners and deportment were tinctured with a military bias. He was hospitable, generous, just, and inflexible in his attachment to his friends, and possessed a feeling heart. He died in the full conviction of the truth of the Gospel Philosophy, and appeared pleased when it was recommended to his serious attention in the last stages of his illness.
Philadelphia April 16.
On Tuesday, the 15th April instant, died suddenly the honorable EDWARD SHIPPEN, late chief justice of the supreme court of Pennsylvania, in the 78th year of his age.
At a meeting of the gentlemen of the Philadelphia bar,
JAMES INGERSOLL, in the chair. It was unanimously resolved, that the gentlemen of the bar will attend, as mourners, the funeral of the late chief justice of Pennsylvania, the honorable Edward Shippen, and that they will wear crape on the left arm for thirty days, as a testimony of the respect they bear to his memory.
HOR. BINNT, Secretary.

RICHMOND, April 9.
MURDER!
And the most inhuman consequent conduct!
On Tuesday, 1st April inst. in the afternoon, the widow MORRISSET, visited two negro women and a girl ploughing on the bank of James River, in Chesterfield county, opposite Tuckahoe Island. The mistress was knocked in the head with an axe by one of the two women whilst she was speaking to the other. The first blow staggered her so much as to afford an opportunity for another, which, by the united efforts of the two women, caused instant death. Some pine bushes were thrown over the body to secret it till night, when a negro fellow, a boatman, named Jim Sirode, husband to the woman giving the first blow, coming to their assistance, the
corpse was carried some distance up the bank, to a place where the water in the river is uncommonly deep, and the current not rapid; and here! yes here! was a scene too horrible almost for repetition! The corpse was cut up with an axe into more pieces than have yet been ascertained! The neighbours have been able after two days searching with nets, to find but eight pieces of this most unfortunate woman! Among which were found two legs cut off at the knees—part of an arm—part of a thigh, and four other pieces scarcely to be known—The other parts as yet, and perhaps, never, can be found! but are numberless! and no doubt sunk thereabouts! The tracks of the inhuman wretch are plainly to be seen where he waded into the river and distributed the huncheons of his butchery! So much of the most atrocious deed was brought to light on Thursday and Friday last, as well from circumstancas as from the confession of the two women. The girl too confirms their confession, whilst the husband with a countenance of guilt, still denies the fact! but fortunately for the cause of justice, the three females, and the husband have been committed, together with another boatman, who it seems will throw some light on the affair, and yet he himself innocent, although he is husband to the other woman. The writer of this distressing article was an eye witness on Thursday and Friday, when his mind was somewhat returned by the proceedings of those whose duty both law and humanity had stimulated to action. It is deemed unnecessary to detail more particulars of this painful case; the more painful since the presence of several of the unfortunate woman's children at the inquest; It may however, be well to say, that the affair is unconnected, and unattended with any circumstances, to excite apprehensions of alarm. It is a truly singular case!
WASHINGTON CITY, April 21.
On Saturday the Senate considered the bill, sent from the House of Representatives, repealing the acts laying duties on salt, and continuing in force, for a farther time, the first section of the act, entitled, "An act further to protect the commerce and seamen of the U. S. against the Barbary powers," and struck out the two first sections which repeal the acts laying duties on salt—Yeas 16—Nays 9.—
The Senate have consented to and advised the ratification of the TRIPOLITAN TREATY—The votes were—Yeas 21—Nays 8.
The Senate yesterday passed the bill, from the House of Representatives, prohibiting the importation of certain [British] goods, wares and merchandise, without amendment—Yeas 19—Nays 9.
This bill only requires the signature of the President to make it a law.
SECRET PROCEEDINGS.—The injunction of secrecy respecting the proceedings of the house of representatives having been taken off, we hoped to be informed with some degree of minuteness, of what had been done in conclave. All that has as yet been published by authority, is a mutilated copy of the secret journal, from which it seems every thing of consequence has been expunged. We have, however, obtained from a correspondent, the following detail, purporting to be an account of the proceedings of one day. If any body can supply us with a better, we shall be very glad to see it.
Closed Doors.
The report of the committee on the president's message relative to the dispute with Spain, being under consideration Mr. —, a member from Massachusetts rose.
I am in favour, sir, of the adoption of this report, and hope the blanks will be filled up in such a way as to give it a real, not a nominal, force; in such a way as to show the world we are, at last, rising from our humiliation. Too long have we suffered from rapacity and injustice, and it should be a cause of national joy that the American spirit has not been lost, but slumbering. Mr. — then went extensively into the merits of our misunderstanding with Spain. He occupied about three hours, and concluded by saying, "If breach of solemn treaties, if deception, fraud and insolence, if a daring intrusion upon our territory give cause of hostility, then are we justified in the adoption of war measures towards Spain." He said, "the respect due to ourselves, our safety, our honor, made an imperious call for rigorous retaliation."
Mr. G. a member from North Caro-

lin, rose next. I acknowledge, said he, Mr. Chairman, the truth of all the facts stated by the gentleman who has just spoken. I acknowledge that Spain has insulted and abused us; broken her treaties and violated our territory. This is manifest from the documents before us. But, I am opposed to the adoption of the report. My judgement, sir, is not to be misled; I trust the judgement of no member will be misled by vapourings about honour and spirit. Let us know how the national account stands. Who will be debtor and who creditor is the question that ought first to be ascertained. [Here certain estimates of the secretary of war were read from which it appeared that to carry the resolution under consideration into effect supposing the blank number of troops to be filled up with 10,000, would require an appropriation of a few hundred dollars more than it was supposed would be necessary to purchase the Floridas] Mr. G. in continuation. Then sir, I am against war measures. The proverbial economy of our ancestors long since taught that a penny saved was a penny gained, and, in the instance before us, a few hundred dollars saved will be a few hundred dollars gained. This is the motive that will sway my vote. Among individuals, money is, emphatically, called the main chance . I see not why, among nations, it should not have the same appellation, why it ought not to be acquired with the same zeal and kept with the same care. The report states that we are still in debt. In my opinion a nation in debt has its usual rights suspended. We cannot, at present, talk of raising troops or going to war. Until the debt is paid it becomes us, in my humble judgement, to bear our wrongs.
Mr. —, a member from New-York next rose. He said he entirely acquiesced in the sentiments just delivered by the gentleman from North Carolina. A gospel precept teaches, that, if one cheek be smitten we should turn the other to the blow, and, philosophy inculcated that forbearance and submission are characteristic virtues of improved and rational man. Are we, he asked, by an affectation of what is called spirit to be hurried into a disregard of these best attributes of our nature? He trusted not; he trusted that sober discretion and prudent virtue would triumph over puerile rashness and a vicious extravagance. What if we had been ill-treated by Spain? We had good reason to believe all differences between us might be buried by the purchase of a tract of territory, and that at a very low price. This was a new, and, in his opinion a very rational mode of settling a dispute. He hoped the report would not be adopted; he hoped troops would not be raised; he hoped we should not go to war; he had a great aversion to it. The Romans, the Athenians and such other deluded nations of antiquity with the mad host of modern statesmen might talk of national honour and national rights; but the more enlightened wisdom of America would disregard such ruinous baubles. He made many further remarks, and observed in conclusion, that the foresight of the committee would substitute, for the protection of national honour, the more useful and permanent advantage of the protection of the national purse.
A member from Kentucky, said he was in favour of the purchase that had been alluded to. It would give us a body of fine land, of which we stood in need. In the neighbourhood of the gulf, the soil, he had been told had an unparalleled luxuriance. Things grew up there of their own accord. If we got it our sons might grow rich without toil. Two millions of dollars for it, he thought would be cheap, and there was a chance of being able to bate down our adversary and get it still cheaper. Saving money, he thought, should be the first principle in the administration of our government. He agreed with the member from N. York, that buying land was an advantageous mode of settling national differences. In regard to ourselves it might, for a long time to come supercede the use of the sword. Spain had Mexico and a great part of South America, still left which might as occasion should offer, be bought; and that, in the event of ill treatment from France or Britain, purchase could be resorted to, as both nations had colonies, about which they did not much care, and waste lands, which he made no doubt they would sell cheap to put an end to disputes. Other members might talk of national honour; but for his part, he did not chuse that it should mar a good bargain. He quoted Adam Smith to show the great increase in the value of lands in some countries of Europe on which he grounded an estimate of the value of the Floridas a cen-
tury hence, and in conclusion, said the report should have his decided negative.
A member from New Jersey next rose. I admit, sir, said he, all the statements of the honorable gentleman who first addressed you to day, but I am nevertheless against the report, and hope it will not be adopted. The important question before us, has not yet, as it strikes me, been viewed in its true light. The real party to this dispute with us is France. I hope this is seen. Adopt the report on your table and war with France, not Spain, is the consequence. Mercy! Mr. Chairman! When the long sword of the minister now in your metropolis is seen shining in the drawing rooms, or trailing through yonder avenue, who does not shudder at the anticipated vengeance of the Emperor? Who does not think of Lodi? Who does not think of Marengo, where he said it was his custom to "sleep upon the field of battle?" Is it not madness to talk of fighting such a man? I, for one, renounce all the honour that would flow from a conflict with him. At the present critical juncture, Sir John Falstaff's notions best suit the American people, "the better part of valour is discretion." Hordes of Gallick regiments stand with their swords half unsheathed ready to strike us. The caution of the legislature would be trusted, return them safely to their scabbards. The arm lifted up to strike, a reflecting man would stay by a soothing douceur. The Floridas, he said, formed a fertile and valuable country, and with humility, he preferred taking peaceful possession of them for a few millions of dollars to fighting battles there.
Here the usual hour of adjournment having passed, the committee rose reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again.
MARTINSBURG, April 25.
On Monday last an election was held in this town, for the purpose of choosing two representatives for the County of Berkeley in the State Legislature.—The candidates were
Major James Stephenson and Philip C. Pendleton, Esq.—Federalists.
Mr. Jacob Weaver and Capt. James Russel—Democrats.
At the close of the poll the votes stood as follows:
For J. Stephenson, 235 Elected. P. C. Pendleton, 239 J. Weaver, 195 J. Russell. 190
Letters from Washington inform, that on Monday last the motion for publishing the secret message of the President being before the House of Representatives Mr. Randolph, in a speech of considerable length, dealt forth his invectives in a manner, that far outstripped all former ones. In comparison, it might be said, they were mild and conciliatory. He charged the President in terms with a want of energy, talents and consistency. He accused Mr. Madison of unconstitutional views in wishing to draw from the Treasury before the last meeting of Congress, public monies for the purpose of carrying on the negotiation with France. He said some gentlemen pretended to suspect him of having changed his principles, and talked about his imprudence in thus speaking so openly of the Executive. But those he despised as back stairs whispers; no man dared to tell him so to his face. His principles were the same as ever, but he declared all his confidence in the men at the head of our affairs was gone forever. He asked gentlemen to say, whether they would wish to legislate on any advice derived from such corrupt sources? He asserted his right in the name of the party to speak of men high in office in plain terms. He meant to try Mr. Jefferson by the same scale which had been adopted in the trial of John Adams, and the same measure should be meted out to him that had been meted out to another. He attacked Varum, Eppes and Jackson in language personal and pointed beyond example. They each made an attempt at a defence; but it was barely an attempt.
[New-York Herald.]
A young government ours is, yet corruption has already taken a root that will never be eradicated. The pure democrats, who hate the leaves and fishes, but love the people as the bee loves vinegar, are already quarrelling among themselves; and corruptly intriguing for office thro' the instrumentality of the next presidential election. The factions are three: the New-York faction (or Clin-
ton faction); the Madison faction, and the Monroe faction. All the leading partisans of the different factions expect in case of success, Secretaryships, Ambassadorships, Contractorships, Collectorships, and all the glittering objects of pure democratic worship. Mr. Bidwell is to be secretary of state, or of the treasury, should Madison succeed; Mr. Randolph is to be what he pleases, should Monroe succeed; should De Witt Clinton succeed, the devil and all will be promoted. Munroe is expected home shortly to make his bids. [Wash. Fed.]
The following melancholy article is copied from the Pennsylvania Correspondent, printed at Doylestown, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
"News of murders and robberies, generally excites a greater degree of interest, than information of any other kind. Intelligence is circulating in this neighbourhood, of which the following is the substance. Its authenticity is not sworn to, but should it prove to have been a melancholy reality, the public shall hear more about it.
"A man living on or near the Dry Lands, who had to pay the sum of 800L. about the first of April, called on his neighbour who kept a public house, informed him of the payment he had to make, and observed, he had the whole amount at his own house, except 15L. which he wished to borrow for a few weeks; the landlord very cheerfully agreed to lend the sum required, stating that he had it not in possession, but expected to go abroad the next day to collect the money, and would return in the evening when his neighbor might call and receive the sum wanted. With the joy which an honest man derives from the expectation of being able to fulfil his contracts did the neighbor call at the time appointed; the landlord had not returned; he therefore waited contentedly, every moment expecting him to come in; at the request of the landlady, he concluded to retire to bed, and if asleep at the return of her husband, he was to be called up; it being late he soon fell asleep; but had not slept long before his slumbers were disturbed by terrific dreams; he awoke his bed-fellow, (a pedler who had taken his lodgings there for that night only) and informed he had dreamed his house was on fire, and his wife and children involved in the flames.
The pedlar intreated him to lie down and quiet his apprehensions; but expostulations are unavailing to a man whose imagination is disordered from the idea that his family are in eminent danger.—He would go home, and the pedlar feeling interested in the interpretation of the dream, agreed to accompany him; taking along a pair of excellent pistols which the pedlar had with him well loaded. The night was dark, and as they approached the house, a bright light excited new and strong suspicions. Each taking a pistol they cautiously approached the lighted window, where with astonishment they beheld three men with blackened faces, counting money at a table; each of the spectators singled out his man, and two of the midnight plunderers fell lifeless on the floor; the third was met at the door, but conscious guilt had unnerved his arm, he was soon despatched. Reader, "if you have tears prepare to shed them now." The agitated husband went into his bedchamber, where the wife of his bosom and three young children were weltering in blood, and closing their eyes in death, having been inhumanely butchered in the "unsuspecting moments of sleep." by the three persons before mentioned. My informant could not give the names of the parties, but states, that on washing the blackened faces of the deceased robbers, they proved to be near neighbours of the owner of the house, and were intimate family connections.
EPIGRAM.
SAID a Reverend Divine, "Here Patrick, my lad, Under guidance of worldly dominion. I much fear your conduct has been very bad— Let me know your religious opinion."
Quoth Pat, "My opinion's the same to a hair As Murphy's who keeps at the sign of the bear." "How now," cri'd the Parson, "You elf!" "Why arrant be aisy! your Rev'rence must know, He thinks I shan't pay him the score that I owe— By my shoul, and I think so myself."

JAMES & JOHN LANE. Shepherd's-Town. April 25, 1806.
THE Members composing the Berkeley Troop of Cavalry, lately commanded by Captain Peter Lawson, are requested to attend muster at Martinsburg, on the second Saturday in May next, for the purpose of training. A punctual attendance will be expected, as there will be some appointments then made. JESSE BROWN, 1st Sergt. April 25, 1806.
JOHN ALBURTIS, Has it in contemplation, if sufficiently patronized, to print an elegant edition of Addresses to Young Men , By JAMES FORDYCE.
And for that purpose submits the following proposals to the consideration of all who feel for the welfare of the present and rising generation, whose happiness these Addresses are so admirably calculated to promote.
TERMS:
The above Addresses shall be printed with an elegant and entirely new type, on good paper, in an octavo form, and will contain about 500 pages.
They shall be neatly bound and lettered for $2 25—or $2 half bound, payable on delivery of the work.
They shall be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained, and finished without delay.
TO THE PUBLIC.
THE present publisher, as a member of that class of the community, to which this highly valuable work is addressed, recommends it particularly to his young brethren—but every person who feels for the good of his country, and for the welfare of society, he doubts not, will consider it a duty to patronize a work of this kind.
THE dispositions and manners of Young Men may be regarded as of the greatest consequence both to the present and future generations—As intercourse with those of worthy manners and dignified deportment, is evidently, much more efficacious in moulding the minds and directing the actions of others, than the highest authority, or the wisest example, of age. How deeply society will be affected, by the connections which Young Men shall form, and by the conduct which they shall hold, as they advance, it is not difficult to imagine; nor can it be necessary to prove, that, as the behaviour of individuals in their early days gives for the most part a turn to the rest, so from the character of our Youth in general, we may prognosticate favourably, or otherwise, concerning our own times, and those that shall more immediately succeed them.
THE above work, tho' more particularly addressed to, and intended for, the improvement of the minds of Young Men, inculcates principles that would add dignity to age, and be ornamental to the nature of either sex. To persons acquainted with the author and his writings, any recommendation that could be offered, would be superfluous; but to those unacquainted with both, it may be proper to observe, that the work here offered, has stood the test of time and experience, and has been universally extolled by the virtuous of every sect and country where it has been read.
It would be a valuable present from a parent to a child, and for which they may expect remuneration in the rational improvement made in the minds of their progeny.
To complete this work, in a style that will do it justice, will subject the publisher to very considerable expense; but he doubts not but he shall be compensated for his expense and trouble, as every one will acknowledge, that the dissemination of books of this kind are an actual good to the community at large, and will therefore feel disposed to patronize it—for this purpose all who feel inclined to do so are invited to the Office of the Intelligencer, Martinsburg.

Woollen and Cotton Manufactory.
THE subscribers respectfully inform their friends, and the public in general, that they are about to erect, and will be ready to commence by the first day of May next, a MANUFACTORY at Mrs. Hunter's mill, in Martinsburg, for the purpose of Carding, Spinning, Fulling, and Dying , where persons applying can get their Wool carded to spin at home, or carded and spun, or carded, spun, woven, fulled, dyed and finished, agreeable to their directions and quality of their wool; to which they solicit the public attention. As but few in this part of the country are acquainted with the nature and usefulness of these machines, it will not be improper to state, that a woman can spin with greater ease twice the quantity of machine rolls in a day, than she can of those of her own carding; besides, they will make much even yarn and better cloth. It is necessary that the wool be brought in a sheet sufficiently large to contain the rolls, with one pound of soft grease to ten of wool; the rolls can be transported any distance without receiving any injury. Beside improving the quality of cloth manufactured at home, it will lessen the expense and labour; which renders its encouragement an object well worthy the attention of farmers and others, who make their own cloth. It will also be of great advantage to hatters to have their wool broke on the machine, as it is much better for their business, and considerably cheaper than having it done by hand. The subscribers flatter themselves, that a generous and patriotic public, will afford them an encouragement equal to the magnitude and usefulness of their business; and assure them that no exertion or attention shall be wanting on their part, to render general satisfaction to all those who may please to favour them with their custom.
L. WESTOVER & ROBARTS.

N. B. They will also carry on the BULLING and DYEING business previous to the manufactory, as is common in this part of the country. They also profess to dye scarlet, or any other colour that exists from that to the common lead colour.

The celebrated running Horse, FLORIZEL.

FLORIZEL is a handsome gray, upwards of fifteen and a half hands high, and was bred by John Tayloe, Esq. of Mount-Airy. Florizel was got by Gray Diomed; he came out of the same mare that Cupbearer did; his dam by Harris's Eclipse (son of old Fearnought, out of a Shakespeare mare imported by Col. Baylor) his grand dam by Celer, his great grand dam by the imported horse Silver Eve, out of a Jolly Roger mare. Celer was got by the imported horse Janus, his dam by the imported horse Aristotle; his grand dam by the imported horse Whittington; his g. grand dam by Jolly Roger; his g. g. grand dam by the imported horse Beau out of an imported mare of Francis Eps, Esq.
Mark Anthony (the fleetest horse of his day any distance) was by Partner; Partner by Old Traveller out of the imported mare Selim. Aristotle and Whittington were both got by the Culler Arabian.
Janus was got by Janus (son of the Godolphin Arabian out of the famous little Hardy mare) his dam by Old Fox; grand dam by the Bald Galloway. Jolly Roger is the 'Roger of the Vale' of the Stud Book.
Great attention will be paid to mares put to Florizel, but I will not be accountable for accidents.
