THE COMMUNICATION
Enclosed to the Editor of this paper for Mr. Magruder,
(Continued.)
Military discipline observed among the Indians when they go to war.
When an Indian warrior wishes to go to war, he informs one or two of his most intimate friends of his intention, and asks them if they will go with him. The party is then formed, by their informing as many men as they will with the party to consist of. Their intentions are kept a secret; as the man that commands the party, wishes to have those men only, that will at all times cheerfully obey his orders. The party always leave the village in the night secretly. When they encamp, the Captain places the oldest men in front of his camp, the youngest in the rear—the former do all the hunting for the party, and keep a strict watch for the enemy; the latter do all the cooking, making of fires, and mending the moccasins of the party.
Every war party has a small budget, called the war budget; which contains something that belongs to each: a snake's skin, a buffalo's tail, a wolf's head, or a mink's skin, the feather of some extraordinary bird. This budget is considered sacred, and is carried by some person chosen for the purpose, who always marches in front, and leads the party to the enemy. He is never passed on the march by any of the party, while he has the budget on his back. When the party halts, the budget is laid on the ground in front of them, and no person is allowed to pass it, without orders for that purpose from proper authority. No person is allowed to sit or lay his pack on a log; neither is any person allowed to talk of women, while the party is going towards the enemy. When a four-legged animal is killed by the party, the heart is carefully preserved by a person appointed for that purpose. When they encamp, a fire is built a long side of the war budget, and the heart is cut up in small pieces, and burnt in it. The sticks or spits to roast meat on, are split half in two, and the meat put between the splits, and sharpened only at the end that is to stick in the ground. No person is allowed to step across the fire—he must go round, and always one way: that is, with the sun.
It will be easily observed, that the order observed among the Indians when going to war, is calculated to prevent accidents, surprises, and keep good order. When the enemy is to be attacked, the war budget is opened, and each man takes out his skin or war bag, and ties it on that part of his body that he was directed to do by his ancestors. In such cases, an Indian when he attacks his enemy, is generally stripped naked, except what he calls his breach-clout and moccasins, and his body painted in different colours, though generally red. After the action is over, each person returns his war bag to the commander of the party, who takes the same skin or cloth they formerly were wrapped in—wraps them up carefully again, and gives the budget to the man that took the first prisoner or scalp, who leads the party home in triumph. This is considered great honor paid him, and serves as a record of his bravery in the nation. Should there be more of the enemy killed or taken, the person that takes the first scalp, or takes the first prisoner, is entitled to the greatest share of honour. When the party has returned home, the war budget is hung in front of the door of the person that carried it on the march against the enemy, where it is left hanging for 30 or 40 days; and some one of the party goes, sings and dances where it hangs; particularly those that have taken prisoners or a scalp.
When the man that commanded the party thinks proper, he assembles the party, and a feast is prepared for the people of the village, by the party, and they sing and dance all night. Those of the party who did the enemy most damage, serves out the feast to the people. After this dance, the war budget is opened by the man that commanded the party, and each one of them takes his corpenah or war bag, when the party is dissolved.
Indian Religion, and mode of Worship.
Every Indian family has one or more of the skins or images above mentioned, which are called in Miami, corpenah; or they are those instruments they consider sacred, and those they continually worship. They say, when the Creator formed them, he gave them those things, and told them, that if
they would worship them, they would live to an old age, and be happy; and some member of every family worships their instruments regularly every month, and frequently often, by preparing a kettle full of victuals, and a few pipes of tobacco; when he sings all night, the songs that he has been instructed to sing on such occasions, by his ancestors; which may be called religious songs.
After he has done, he invites his neighbours to come and eat the victuals he has been singing over all night. After they have assembled, the man states the cause of his collecting them together; after which, they proceed to eating with a great deal of ceremony, too numerous to mention. Each person will throw a little of the victuals in the fire, before he puts any in his mouth. There are but few Indians, who will give an opinion respecting a future state of existence. They say, that those things are only enquired after by fools and white men. Some of them have told me, that they believed there were two other worlds; that the ghosts of the people of this world, went to, after they died; that one was the place of residence of the great and good Spirit, and the other was that of the bad; and that it was believed, that the ghost of a good man went and lived with the good Spirit, and the ghosts of the bad men went and lived with the bad spirit, and was always afflicting him to do evil. When asked what qualities, were necessary for a good man, they would reply, a good father, a good husband, a good neighbour, a good warrior, and a lover of his nation. But the Indians generally appear to care but little about a future state of existence, and only appear to be anxious to live to an old age.
Ceremony observed among the Indians when they die.
When an Indian dies, his relations black their faces, and fast for a certain time, that is requested by the head of the family. The neighbours assemble, and bury the dead; after which, the heads of families that are friendly disposed towards the family of the dead, take some articles of clothing, and go and address the friends of the deceased, in the following words: "Friends, we are sorry that it has pleased the great Spirit to call one of your family from you; but this is not uncommon among us people of this world. Our friend is only going on his journey a few days before us. We have come therefore, to invite you to mourn no longer, and cover the body of our departed friend." After they return, the articles of clothing they left, are preserved for the person that is to be adopted in the place of the deceased.
Ceremonies observed among the Indians, when they adopt a living person in the place of a dead one.
When an Indian loses one of his friends by death, he believes, that if the place is not supplied by adoption, that more of his friends will die. Should the deceased be a male, the most intimate male friend is chosen to fill his vacancy; if a female, her most intimate female friend is chosen to fill her vacancy. If the deceased is a person of respectability, it frequently happens, that two persons are chosen to fill the vacancy. When every thing is ready, the person or persons are sent for, when the ceremony begins. If the deceased were a warrior, the adoption is exhibited by the warriors of the village, who assemble together at the house of the deceased—dance the war dance—sing the war song in rotation—the warrior goes thro' all the actions he did when he was engaged with his enemy; after which, repeats to the assembly the number of actions he has been in, and the number of scalps he has taken. During the time the warrior is dancing—he occasionally gives the same yells, and repeats the same words he did when he was in battle. All the time, there is a constant yelling of the war-whoop, by the assembly. When the warrior has gone through such of his war exploits as he thinks proper, he hands the war club to some other warrior, and sets down. The other rises, and repeats as many of his war exploits as he thinks proper, in the same way as the first. And this is the way the dance is continued, until each warrior of the village is called on to relate his own exploits. Some are called on two or three times. The assembly is then dismissed by the speaker of the friend of the deceased: telling them, that the hearts of the relations of the dead are glad. The person adopted, who during the dance sets amongst the relations of the deceased, is then moved by his new relations to a private room,
where he receives every thing that belonged to the deceased; also the articles of clothing that have been received from the neighbours, by the way of covering the dead. He is then told he is one of the family, and considered as such; and that he is entitled to the same authority in the nation, as the person was, whose place he filled.
When a common man, woman or child dies, the adoption is exhibited by a few people of both sexes, playing some favourite game of the deceased. If a man, by shooting at a mark, running foot races, or some other game; if a woman, by the women playing some game she was fond of.

STATE PAPER.
DECLARATION.
George the third, by the grace of God, of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, king, defender of the faith, duke of Brunswick and Lunenburgh, arch-treasurer and elector of the holy Roman empire, &c. &c.
The court of Prussia has avowed those hostile designs, which she thought to conceal by her friendly professions.
The note verbale, delivered on the 4th of April, by the Prussian envoy, baron Jacobi Kloet, to the British ministry, announces that the electorate of Hanover has been taken possession of, and that the ports of the German sea, and of Lubeck, have been closed against the British flag.
This declaration gives the lie to all those assurances by which the cabinet of Berlin has hitherto endeavoured to cloak its proceedings, to which it moreover adds the pretension that his Prussian majesty has acquired, by his system of policy, claims to the gratitude of all the northern powers.
Thus actually dispossessed of the ancient inheritance of my family, and insulted in my dignity as a sovereign, I have ordered those measures to be taken which the honor of my crown requires; but I still owe it to myself, to Europe, and to my subjects, to make a public declaration of my sentiments, as elector of Brunswick and Lunenburgh, upon the unjust usurpation of my German possessions.
It is not necessary to prove how contrary this act is to the rights of nations, or to the laws of the German empire. Their infraction is too evident to be required to be proved. It is the most sacred principle of good faith, of honor, and, in fact, of all the obligations upon which the reciprocal safety of different states among themselves, and of each civil society in itself, repose, which are trodden under foot in such a manner, that the world would have difficulty in believing it, if I did not cause the facts to be laid before them, which are authenticated in the narrative which I have ordered to be prepared.
The proceedings of the court of Berlin when the electorate was occupied by its troops in 1801; its conduct, far from being friendly during the negotiation for the indemnities which followed the peace of Lunenburgh; the declaration which it made when France prepared to invade the electorate; and, lastly, the burdensome conditions under which it endeavoured to cause it to be evacuated, to substitute her own troops, instead of France, had given too many proofs to the government of Hanover, not to endeavour to avoid all sorts of intervention on the part of this power, even at the moment that it was on the point of engaging in a dispute with France.
The events which retarded the arrival in Hanover of the expedition, concerted between Great Britain, Russia and Sweden, gave the Prussian troops an opportunity of anticipating them, after the French army had been obliged to evacuate the electorate.
This step was accompanied by the most friendly protestations on the part of Prussia. She invited the Hanoverian government to resume its functions in my name, and to collect the wreck of the army.
The country already so unfortunate, doubly felt the numerous requisitions extorted by the Prussian corps, without the least regard to the situation in which the French left it.
After the unfortunate result of the campaign of the allies in the south of the empire, an attack in the north was expected.—His imperial majesty of Russia, to obviate the dangers to which Prussia might be exposed, placed, in consequence of the convention of Potzdam, his
troops under count De Tolsfroy, and the corps of general Bennington, under the orders of his Prussian majesty, and promised him, moreover, all the assistance for which he might have occasion. It was scarce to be expected, that Prussia would avail herself of this advantage, and of that which the promise of the subsidy she had asked of Great Britain gave her, to obtain from France terms contrary to the interest which these resources were intended to protect. This notwithstanding, has actually happened.—The secret treaty, the effects of which are beginning to appear, was signed by count Haugwitz and the French general Duroc, the 15th of December, 1805, the period fixed at the term when Prussia was to declare war against France, in case that power should have rejected the propositions which Haugwitz was to make to her in consequence of the convention of Potzdam.
Seven days after, December 22, the cabinet of Berlin proposed to the British ambassador the arrangements to be taken in common with the Prussian generals, propositions of the allied armies in Lower Saxony: and dispatched, in consequence, lieutenant colonel Baron De Krusemark, with a letter to the Hanoverian government, to induce it to furnish provisions for the French garrison at Hameln.
It was necessary to concur in this arrangement (which only provisionally terminated the fourth of January) because it was to prevent the French troops from undertaking any thing against Hanover during the negotiation.
Was the court of Berlin then ignorant in what manner count Haugwitz had concluded this negotiation? Did it not know, before the signature of the treaty, what would be the end of it? Or did that minister dispose, as he pleased, of the good faith of his master.
It was on the 27th of January, that the cabinet of Berlin announced to the Hanoverian government, "that in consequence of a treaty signed and ratified by the two parties, my German possessions would no longer be occupied by the French troops; that they would be entirely evacuated by those who were still there, and delivered up, until a future peace between England and France should have decided their condition, to the protection of the troops of his Prussian majesty, and to his exclusive administration." The Hanoverian government was required, to no purpose, to intimate to all the public officers, that they were, for the future, to consider themselves as finally responsible to the Prussian commission of administration, excluding all foreign reference.
The dispatch addressed the 25th of January, to the Prussian minister, and intended to justify this proceeding, was signed by the King of Prussia's own hand. It ended with these words—"I think it unnecessary to observe how much the territories in question ought to be satisfied with change of scene; and my wishes would be fulfilled, if in consequence of the disinterested views by which I am impelled, the administration I have taken upon me, should turn out to the happiness of the country and its inhabitants; and by the means, satisfactory to his Britannic majesty, to whom I desire nothing more than to give, in this instance, as in all others, all the proofs of consideration, of deference, and of friendship, which circumstances may put in my power."
The experience of the past, and the well founded apprehensions of the future, did not allow me to hesitate about the part necessary to be taken; and my electoral government was instructed not to enter into any negotiation, the object of which might have been to avoid a new French invasion, by allowing the Prussians to occupy Hanover.
The protest made upon this occasion by my electoral minister of state, was ineffectual. The king of Prussia caused the greatest part of the country to be occupied at the moment that my troops re-embarked; and his measures were executed without the least regard.
It was too easy to foresee that count Haugwitz would find means at Paris to bring back the arrangement between Prussia and France, announced here, as ratified by the contracting parties, to its original intention.
This was what took place; and the French troops took possession of Anspach, one of the objects of compensation, according to the treaty of December 15, the very day that the marquis de Lucchessini could reach Berlin, with intelligence that
France required the execution of the articles agreed upon at Vienna. The answer returned by the British cabinet, to the communication of January 25, did not arrive at Berlin until after the minister of state, baron Hardenberg, had announced to the British envoy the hostile measures which have compelled me to suspend my relations with a court which could so far forget itself.
The Prussian note of April 4, can furnish no good arguments to establish an unjustifiable measure.
It begins by vaunting the pacific disposition of Prussia. This disposition is no further sincere, than as it has for its foundation the principles of a just neutrality. The note delivered by the cabinet of Berlin to the French minister on the 14th of October, at the very instant that Prussia appeared to feel the affront which she received by the violation of the territory of Anspach, acknowledges that the conduct which she had followed to that time, had proved of advantage to France.
Her actions had much less pretensions to the character of impartiality. After having permitted the French troops who seized on the electorate of Hanover, a passage through the Prussian territory, she declared herself ready to oppose, sword in hand, that which the emperor of Russia had demanded for his armies.
France herself forced the passage: she pretended to offer excuses for that step, but it was in a manner equally offensive.
She had seen too clearly where the resentment of Prussia would terminate, which in fact appeared to be stifled, when his imperial majesty of Russia engaged in a personal communication with the king.
Prussia then demanded subsidies of Great Britain, which were promised her, and she signed the convention of Potzdam, the conditions of which, she would, doubtless, have been more disposed to fulfil, if I could have so far forgotten my duty, as to consent to the proposition of ceding the electorate of Hanover for some Prussian province.
Prussia affirms, that from the events of the war, she has not had the choice of means to secure the safety of its monarchy, and of the states of the North. She wishes to make it appear, that she has been compelled to aggrandize herself, and to become the instrument, rather than the object of the vengeance of my enemies.
Such an avowal does not become a great power. All Europe knows that it depended on Prussia, before the battle of Auerlitz, to give repose to Europe, if she had taken the part which her real interests and the outraged honour of her monarchy dictated to her. She can no longer be excused, after having missed such an opportunity; and even since the event of the 2d of December, did she not command an army of 250,000 men, who still remember the victories it obtained under the great Frederick, which was in the best disposition, and supported by the whole Russian army, two corps of which were actually under the command of the king of Prussia?
She would, without doubt, have been subject to certain risks; but she found herself in a situation when every danger must be encountered, to save the honor of the state. The prince who hesitates in making a choice, destroys the principle which serves as the basis of a military monarchy; and Prussia ought already to begin to feel the sacrifice she has made of her independence.
The note of April 4, affirms, "that France had considered the electorate as its conquest, and that its troops had been on the point of re-entering it, to make a definitive disposal of it."
The electorate of Hanover as an integral part of the Germanic empire, is not concerned in the war between Great Britain and France: nevertheless, it has been unjustly invaded by that power, which has notwithstanding, frequently indicated the object for which she was disposed to restore it.
France was at length compelled to abandon the country, and forty thousand of my troops, and those of my allies, were established there, when the count de Haugwitz signed the treaty which disposes of my states.—It is true, that the Russian corps was then at the disposal of his Prussian Majesty; but its chief, with the genuine spirit of an honorable man, was not the less determined to fight, if the allies of his master were attacked. We shall not speak of the French garrison which remained at Hameln, insufficient in point of number, deprived of the means of defence, and on the point of being besieged, when the promises of Prussia, caused the plan to be abandoned.
The intention of France to dispose definitively of the electorate would have

been contrary to the affection she had often made. It would, moreover, have been contrary to the usage of war, since even a conquest is not definitively disposed of before a peace; and particularly at a moment when a wish might exist to manifest a pacific disposition.
Prussia has no right to judge if Great Britain had the means of opposing the return of her enemies to the electorate. Her power furnishes her with the means of bringing the war to an honorable end, for the interests she defends; but it is difficult to conceive in what light Prussia pretends that her measures removed troops that are strangers to the electorate, and ensures the repose of the north—Her troops, in consequence of the barbarous conduct of her cabinet, will remain as much strangers to the electorate as the French troops.
Prussia should not speak of her sacrifices at the moment when her only aim is to aggrandize herself, unless she feels the loss of her independence to be such, and how much she has departed from her duty, in abandoning one of the oldest possessions of her house, and of subjects who implored in vain her assistance. Besides, sacrifices have no connection with any system of policy, and confer no right on her to usurp the government of my German subjects, whose fidelity nothing has hitherto shaken, and which they will retain towards my person, and a family of princes, who for many ages have only fought their happiness.
It is evident that the conduct of the court of Berlin is not the free expression of the will of its sovereign, but the consequence of the influence exercised by my enemies, on the cabinet of that prince. All the courts and all the states however, who can judge of circumstances, and all that they owe to the system adopted by the court of Berlin, will agree that the act committed against a sovereign united to his Prussian majesty by the ties of blood, and until now by those of friendship, places the safety of Europe in greater danger than any act of open hostility on the part of a power with which we might be at open war.
Convinced of the justice of my cause, I make my appeal to all the powers of Europe, who are interested in resisting the consolidation of a system which, by threatening the political existence of an integral part of the German empire, brings into question the security of the whole. I demand most earnestly the constitutional aid, which is due to me as elector, from the empire, its august head, as well as Russia and Sweden, powers which have guaranteed its constitution, and still continues to manifest the most honorable disposition for the preservation of my states.
Lastly I protest in the most solemn manner, for myself and heirs, against every encroachment on my rights in the electorate of Brunswick Luenenburg and its dependencies; and I repeat, in quality of elector, the declaration made by the minister of my crown at the court of Berlin, that no advantage arising from political arrangements, much less any offer whatever of an indemnity or equivalent, shall ever engage me to forget what I owe to my dignity, the attachment and exemplary fidelity of my Hanoverian subjects, so as to yield my consent to the alienation of my electorate.

At a meeting of the Trustees of the town of Lexington, June 25, 1806, the following Ordinances were adopted:
Be it ordained, That the several proprietors of dwelling houses within the limits of the town, be, and they are hereby required to furnish fire-buckets, as follows: For each house that was valued at the last assessment, to 3000 dollars, or upwards, four buckets; for all valued between 3000 and 2000 dollars, three buckets; all between 2000 and 1000 dollars, two buckets, and all under 1000 dollars, one bucket for each house; to be procured on or before the 1st day of September next, under the penalty of ten dollars for each failure.
Be it further ordained, That it shall be the duty of every citizen, in case of an alarm of fire, to repair with all possible speed, to the place in danger, unless prevented by indisposition, or some unavoidable circumstance; and any person failing to attend, when summoned to a fire, or after they do attend, refusing to obey the orders of the officers of the fire companies, shall forfeit and pay the sum of three dollars, for every such offence.
Resolved, That the foregoing ordinances be published in the Kentucky Gazette for three weeks, and that a copy thereof be delivered to each person within the limits
of this tragical event, are briefly the:
Some time previous to the 14th of May, the greater part of the white French inhabitants of Cape Francois, were ordered under some pretence, to a fort about 3 leagues from the town, and there confined. On the night of the 14th, the residue of these unfortunate people, amounting to about 150, were strangled in their beds, by order of the Emperor: the blood-thirsty villains, not content with this, plunged their bayonets in their bodies—mangling them in a horrid manner. They then plundered the houses of those unfortunate people, who had thus fallen victims to the avarice and cruelty of the black Emperor. On the 15th, it was reported at the Cape, that those of the inhabitants, who had been sent to the fort, had been put to death in the most cruel manner, and their dead bodies treated with the greatest indignity.
PHILADELPHIA, June 7.
On the arrival of Miranda off Barcelona, he wrote a letter to his brother on shore, advising him of his intention, & requesting him, his mother and sister, to retire into the interior, and to take with them the most valuable of their property. Miranda's brother was alarmed—and left he should be suspected of being concerned in the enterprize, or favouring the views of his brother, he hastened to the Governor-General at Carracas with the letter. An immediate alarm was excited, and vessels were dispatched in pursuit of Miranda. The capture of his two schooners was the result.
We also learn, that after the engagement, the Leander stoop two days off Bonnaire, repaired her rigging, and put to sea; since which, she has not been heard of.
We learn verbally, that the two Spaniards who went out with Miranda, as soon as the two schooners struck their colours, jumped into the sea, and were drowned.
June 12.
The Boston Gazette of Monday last, gives the following article:— "We learn that a British 14 gun brig is now cruising within our Bay. A vessel arrived at Salem on Friday last, was boarded the same day by this privateer, and her letters and papers opened, and strictly examined. The commander of the brig informed, that he should keep a good look-out for a number of ships (of which he said he had a list) homeward bound to this and the neighboring ports from distant places. A letter has been received at Russel's Insurance-Office, which had been broken open, and endorsed on the back—"Examined by one of H. B. Majesty's privateers, June 6, 1806."
KINGSTON, May 10.
Arrived his majesty's ship Echo, capt. Muddle, from Aruba. The Echo sailed from Aruba, with the expedition under gen. Miranda, but parted from the Leader on the same evening in a squall and fell to leeward of Curracoa; she therefore returned to Aruba, and took in a cargo of mules for Jamaica.
A vessel arrived at Aruba on the 3d inst. and brought intelligence that gen. Miranda had effected a landing at Porto Cavello; where the garrison, after discharging a few guns loaded with sand, opened the gates of the city, and received him; also, that Carraccas was ready to yield in the same way, to which province he had proceeded; and that the Leader after debarking the general and staff, and 150 soldiers, had returned on the 30th ult. to Bonnaire.
The force under the duke of Kent, mentioned some time since, as being expected in the West-Indies, is reported to be destined against Carraccas; and it supposed, with good reason, that Miranda's expedition was fitted out under the auspices of Great-Britain. The Leader, we understand, had 90 stand of arms, and 500 barrels of powder on board."

CARDING MACHINE.
I WISH to inform the publick, that there is a Carding Machine in motion on 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 eighty pounds of wool, they will card a hundred weight a day, and pack it in coarse sheets, in which the wool must be sent, and secure it so that it will carry forty miles safely on horseback. 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, & to 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, as 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 hemp? nay, how many hundreds of very valuable white women are employed at times at this very dirty and laborious business? a disgrace to the men, when such relief is offered and not made use of. A hatter came in with his wool yesterday, and when he saw ituffed out in such excellent order, he said (and may be sworn to it) he could make fur hats of it. The price for making it into rolls is 10 cents, if to mix different colours 12 cents, and for preparing it for the hatters 5 cents per pound, and the whole may be paid in linen and cotton rags that are well bleached, clean washed and dried, at 3d per pound, and a worse quality at a lower price. What inducements to heads of families to save all their rags, and get from their neighbours who have not occasion to send. I suppose, was economy and frugality used, there would be rags enough to pay for picking, breaking, and carding all the wool in the state. I am only interested in common with my fellow-citizens, the owner has rented room and water of the present owners of the mill, where they can work the machine at any season of the year. Elijah Craig. Georgetown, June 20, 1806.
HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.
Advice to Religious Emancipators.
Can two walk together except they be agreed? Amos 3:3. I find a sprinkling of Emancipators amongst the different societies in Kentucky, living in communion with those of contrary sentiments. In principle, one is wrong in practice, both are wrong. If I believe hereditary slavery is a moral evil, am I not doing wrong, when I live and commune with those who live in this evil? Why not then come out and make no noise about it? Answer. I can do more good by living in society and warning them of the evil. But Sir, your reproof loses its weight, when you exclaim against a crime, and then tacitly submit. It is not unlike reproving a gambler, and then sitting down and keeping game for him. I suppose in the sequel, you would be willing to share of his money in the bargain. I think it more to my credit to go out of a gentleman's house when he gives me a hint to walk out, than to stay and pester him, until he drives me out. Perhaps he will get angry, and set all his hounds after me, which will make me angry; and to there will be two mad men, and of course, we shall begin to trump up charges against each other, and make our last state worse than the first. Experience is the best teacher. Open your eyes, Emancipators, and walk out like honest men, and enforce your doctrine by example and precept. I am sorry for Semi-Emancipators. They put me in mind of the fable of the old man and his two wives: the old wife plucked all the black hairs out of his head; the young wife all the white, until they left him as bald as an Eagle.

SONNET TO MUSICK.
Sweet Governess of Sounds! canst thou controul The jarring passions? thro' the listening ear! Ev'n anger passes in his mad career, And owns thy magic influence o'er the soul! Backward wretches ebbing tide begins to roll— Grief's clouds disperse, thence neutral sky grows clear— Joy's corruscations cheer despair's dark pole, And hope and light, at thy approach appear. Behold yon humble Minstrel of thy hand, Whose pipe resounds along the echoing street; Tho' void of sight, yet skilful in his hand, And tender is the tune he plays, and sweet; His heart is blithe, his countenance is bland, O happy art! that can misfortune cheat!

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.

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, shews clear flat upon its surface; and the rock itself tastes salt. There has been three water-witches [as they call them] trying the experiment, and say, there is four feet square of very 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 said, several salt-petre caves. The bottoms and along the creeks would produce good cotton and hemp. Lexington, independent of the country blacksmiths, consumes thirteen thousand lbs per annum, we will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which falls at the rate of one shilling per bushel, and the 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 a fishing place in the state. In a crib they can get five hundred pounds in a day, and may get by a few or seven hundred barrels per annum tobacco, flour, beef, pork, tallow, lard, hemp, cordage, whiskey or corn will be taken in payment. Part will be given. If the whole cannot be sold, a half will be sold, or a third clear and indivisible deed will be given. For terms apply to Mr. Wm. I. Lexington, or 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.

A Great Bargain may be had in that HANDSOME SEAT OF LAND WHEREON I now live, of 451 acres, lying on David's fork of Elkhorn, in Fayette county, eight miles from Lexington; there is about 120 acres of open land—the dwelling house is brick, two stories, 47 by 22, finished in a neat plain manner—two grist mills in good repair, having lately been built anew, the dam and all the under works of the mills are locust timbers; and the mills are generally allowed to grind faster than any mills in the quarter; one pair of the stones are French burrs—the springs and flock water are very extensive, and was never known to fail.—There is likewise on the place a distillery, convenient to the mills.

WARM & COLD BATHS.
THE public are respectfully informed, that I have, at considerable expence, 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 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. Buchan, 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 expences incurred in the present undertaking. Persons may pay each time of bathing, or engage for the season. Lexington, 3d June, 1806.
