FARMERS ATTEND.
MANY of you having very frequently applied to the subscriber (he being in the habit of trading to the Northward) to bring a covering horse of the Eusopus breed, which you so much (and not without just cause) admire, he therefore being induced from interest, as well as having a natural disposition to accommodate, has procured one of that stock, which he flatters himself will please.—
This noble Horse, called EUSOPUS BALL,
Will stand the ensuing season at the subscriber's stable in Martinsburg, at the moderate price of three dollars and a bushel of oats the season, the oats to be brought with the mare, five dollars for insurance, and one dollar cash the single leap. The season to begin the first day of April and end the middle of July. Credit will be given for the money until the 1st of April 1805.
Eusopus Ball is a handsome dark bay, ten years old this spring, he is sixteen and an half hands high, with bone and body in proportion, and is as well calculated for the draft as any horse in the state of Virginia. The public will please to excuse me for omitting his pedigree, as I conceive it unnecessary, relying on their sufficient knowledge and acquaintance with the breed and services of those valuable kind of horses—without this, his form alone, will be sufficient to recommend him.

MR. ALBURTIS.
SINCE the names of the candidates for the honor of serving the people of this county, in the next General Assembly, have been made known, I have had frequent conversations with a number of voters on the subject of the election. In the frank and honest expression of opinion, that I met with, nothing excited my surprise and curiosity more than the aversion that I found many to possess, against the members of that fraternity to which I have the honor to belong; I knew indeed that as in Pennsylvania, a species of Vandalism little inferior to that waged by the Goths of old, had for some time past threatened the total annihilation of our order; but I knew also that that unfortunate state was a "rudis indigesta que moles" compound of materials altogether unlike the liberal and enlightened citizens of the "Ancient Dominion." I was therefore surprised to find that this very unchristian jealousy (for as yet it is jealousy only) had made its appearance here, and curious to know from whence it proceeded, I found that those who deal thus hardly by us were under the influence of vague and general impressions that were not reducible to any certain heads. — Protesting then as I most solemnly do against this undefined clamor against us, I hope my brethren of the bar will take no exceptions to my making a few remarks by way of defence against a charge that has neither certainty nor precision.
I commence, then, by an appeal to the good sense of my fellow citizens, whether it is just to condemn us not only without a hearing, but without evidence and without facts. I will appeal further to the records of past times, that will bear witness to the truth of what I say. Have we not existed from time immemorial? & where is the page of history that can call up a blush on our cheeks? Kings, Priests and Nobles, aye and the people also, have imbrued their hands in human gore, have quickened the orphan's cry and the widow's tear, and where is the man who will confront, with crimes like these the pure and unblemished order that is now so unjustly calumniated. For our skill and our patriotism, I will call up the constitution and laws of the land, those sheet anchors of public prosperity, and ask our accusers to point me out the line that has not been penned by a lawyer? Yes amiable offspring of enlightened heads and honest hearts! you cherish in your bosoms the authors of your existence and frown contempt upon those who would fain make you subservient to the parochial attempt to destroy us. But I will not degrade the dignity of my profession by further comments upon a case so clear as this. Before however I conclude I beg leave to remark that the spirit against which I here enter my protest is not a novel one, most of your readers have heard I presume of the famous English Parliament that sat in the reign of Henry IV. to which that King directed the sheriffs "ne quosdam pro comitatibus eligerent qui in jure regni docti fuissent;" "that they should not return any who were learned in the laws of the kingdom." In return for this, says Mr. Justice Blackstone, "our law books & historians have branded this parliament with the name of parliamentum indoctum or the lack-learning parliament;" and Sir Edward Coke observes, with some spleen, that "there never was a good law made therein." But, sir, I could quote authority upon authority and all fully in point. — Whitelock's Commentaries on parliament, page 361, 366, says that "those who will have a nolumus of learned senators, must have a volumus of uncouth laws." Tully the great Roman orator says, "It is necessary for a senator to be thoroughly acquainted with the laws; & this is a knowledge of the most extensive nature — a matter of science, of diligence, of reflection; without which no senator can possibly be fit for his office." And, "how unbecoming," says the abovementioned Judge Blackstone, "must it appear in a member of the Legislature, to vote for a new law, who is utterly ignorant of the old! — what kind of interpretation can he be enabled to give who is a stranger to the text upon which he comments! The mischiefs that have arisen to the public from inconsiderate alterations of the laws are too obvious to be called in question, almost all the perplexed questions, almost all the niceties, intricacies and delays which have disgraced our courts of justice, owe their original to acts of parliament many times, as Sir Edward Coke expresses it, on a sudden penned or corrected by men of none or very little judgment in the
law." Again sir, for I have not yet done with my authorities, the learned Judge Tucker, now one of our court of appeals, applies the foregoing remarks, most emphatically to our own country in the following elegant passage:
"If an acquaintance with the constitution, and laws of our country be requisite to preserve the blessings of freedom to the people, it necessarily follows that those who are to frame laws or administer the government should possess a thorough knowledge of these subjects. For what can be more absurd than that a person wholly ignorant of the constitution should presume to make laws pursuant thereto? or that one who neither understands the constitution nor the law, should boldly adventure to administer the government! Yet such instances occur not frequently in all countries, and the danger that they will frequently occur in this, is perhaps greater than in any other. The road to office, in most other countries is filled with a thousand turnpikes, which are rarely opened but to the rich and powerful. These possess at least the means of information. With us it is equally open to all; but men of talents and virtue are not always the foremost in the course; persons of this description are generally more backward, than those of inferior pretensions, to the confidence of the people; a confidence which, if they do not, they are infinitely more liable to abuse, than if their minds had been properly enlightened by study and application."
Upon grounds like these I rest our cause with entire confidence. To the tribunal of public opinion we bow with becoming respect, we have not plead to the jurisdiction , as perhaps we might have done, but have gone at once into the merits of the case . If a ferocious Duke of Lancaster who waded through blood and by perfdy seated himself on the throne of England, thought proper, for the security of the most precarious of all titles to exclude lawyers from his parliament, it will not form a precedent by which the most free, enlightened and virtuous people upon earth ought to be governed. They will dismiss these unjust suspicions against the gentlemen of the long robe, or rather of no robe at all; and in doing so they will gratify one who has the impudence to think himself an honest man tho'
A LAWYER.
NO opinion is more prevalent, nor none better founded, than that public officers should be amenable to the power by which they are created; nor have any body of men clamoured more, and with less cause, than the democrats about the maleadministration of the Servants of the People . But few instances of misconduct, have however, been exhibited against Federal Officers, that can be substantiated on the broad basis of truth and justice. I am by no means disposed to overlook improper acts in any sect of men, be their political opinions what they may; nor am I so great a partisan as to suppose that Federalists cannot err; but from what I have already witnessed, it appears as if democracy possessed the principle of instinctively (as it were) leading its votaries to the commission of acts from which justice revolts with abhorrence. I have been led into these reflections, from having lately seen the account of the President of the Overseers of the Poor of Berkeley County, the most of the items of which are illegal and unwarranted by law. — By this conduct Mr. Chenoweth has exposed himself, and the most glaring inconsistency is evident between his actions and the principles he has espoused and which he is so industrious to disseminate. — He is one of the warmest sticklers for democracy, and in the hypocritical cant of the day, is forever preaching up economy, and the just expenditure of the public money, and I am informed, that he has even gone so far as to declare he had received nothing, or but very trifling compensation, for all his faithful services during six years: But enough of this; Mr. Chenoweth is sufficiently known. The following account (the only one that can now be found) will better elucidate his true character, than any thing I can say. Let him be heard by the people he has so faithfully served, and whom he pretends so much to love. — If they think he has acted well, to himself be all the merit; if otherwise, let him bear the stigma, that never fails to attend improper conduct. — All I have in view, is to put the people on their guard, that they may in future
select men of sound, unblemished character, and such as are capable, and have a disposition to serve them with uprightness.

I do certify that the foregoing is a true copy of Mr. Chenoweth's account lodged with me, in every respect but the spelling, which has been corrected.
ROBERT COCKBURN, Clerk for the Overseers of the Poor. March 18, 1804.
The above is a specimen of his charges for his services as Overseer of the Poor and yet he never fails to proclaim on all occasions, when opportunity serves, that he has received nothing for six years attendance on that business. — This is the only account, as before stated, that can now be come at; however we may form some idea of the others from the one before us. It will be observed, that the law allows no more than one dollar per day at the general meetings, and he has uniformly charged two dollars. The law does not authorise any charge for visiting poor people in distress in his district, but he has charged one dollar for every such visit: The law requires him to administer to the necessities of the indigent and distressed, and to produce his account to the board of overseers at their next general meeting, if reasonable to be allowed and the money levied for him. It is believed that all the advances of this kind made by him since his first appointment consists of but one bushel of corn, charged in the above account at 75 cents, 50 at that time being about the market price. — Now, as it is out of our power to procure documents to guide us to complete information with respect to his other accounts, we may form some conclusion of the amount by multiplying the above sum by the years he has acted in the station alluded to; say $36 75 multiplied by 4 (for he was prevented by the Overseers of the Poor "in and near Martinsburg," who were appointed by the Court, from passing
such accounts the last year) and this prevention has been, and is to him, a source of very great affliction and complaint — well, say $36 75 multiplied by 4 will produce $147 — A handsome sum truly, when the time he was obliged to devote to this service is taken into consideration.
From the American Daily Advertiser. A CHRONICLE.
And it came to pass in those days, when peace reigned through the land, that the spies of the Gallianites returned from searching out the land of Louisiana, whither they had been sent to search it out.
Wherefore they spake unto the rulers and gathered the people together, and said unto them, the land which you sent us to search, behold it is a goodly land, and exceedingly fat, and aboundeth with much fruit, and the heathen who possess it, they are but few.
Now the people of Gallia were a mighty people, their numbers were like the sand of the sea shore, and of all their deeds which they have done in Egypt and Syria, and round about the Red Sea, are they not written in the books of the wars of the great nation?
And they said one to another why stay we here to perish in clusters for the lack of bread, let us rise up and choose unto ourselves captains and rulers, that we may go out and possess this goodly inheritance.
And the nobles and rulers assembled the people together; and they divided them into lots, and some were tillers of the ground, some were handy-craftsmen, and some men of war: and there were captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, nay even a mighty host — and they got them together many ships, and were ready to depart.
Now it came to pass that the king of the Britonites (a people over against Gallia, towards the setting of the Sun,) heard of all these things, and he sent messengers unto the Gallianites, and the messengers drew nigh and spake unto the rulers saying.
Behold the king our master hath heard of the going out of this mighty host, and he is alarmed, seeing that you are to pass by the borders of his inheritance, and the inheritance of his Brothers, the sons of the country, lest per adventure you turn and despoil the cities, and the vineyards and the cornfields, when there is no strong arm to save them, therefore he has made a vow that you go not forth, — you have declared, to inherit this land of promise.
And the Gallianites answered and said we will not turn neither to the right nor to the left, from the land we go to possess, nor suffer your cities, nor your plantations to be despoiled, nor the sons of the country to be driven out, inasmuch as we desire nothing but peace of your hands.
Howbeit the messengers of the Britonites put no trust in this people, and believed not their sayings, but departed with the same words in their mouths.
Now the Gallianites were sorely vexed on account of the message of the king of Briton, for the nation of the Britonites were a nation of warriors, and that of the Sea and the Islands of the Sea, were their inheritance, and that none could contend with their mighty ships, and they took counsel together for many days.
Then Talleyrand the priest gave counsel, why stand ye as in a strait until now; hearken unto my words, sell ye this wilderness unto the Sons of the country; for the gold and silver which ye shall get, will it not be better for ye than the desert which ye cannot possess?
And the people hearkened unto the counsel of the Levite, for he was a man of a wise and understanding heart, and they made a league with a servant of the sons of the country for 50,000 talents of gold, and 50,000 talents of silver, that they should possess the land, and that the inheritance should be to them and to their children forever.
When the rulers of the sons of the country heard of this league they exalted themselves and rejoiced together 40 days, greeting one another, and to the chief ruler gave the great praise, and proclaimed aloud their goodness and their wisdom to all the people.
Now the sons of the country laughed to scorn the vain glory of the rulers, and mocked at them, saying, why exalt ye yourselves for this measure, seeing, if there be any good in the thing, has it not been wrought out, by the strong arm of the Britonites, and by the strength of their counsel? And they were rebuked and hung down their heads, for they wot not that these things were known, save only to the sect of the Jefferites.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
LONDON, January 5.
The signal-flying at Dale on Tuesday evening, was in consequence of thirty of the enemy's gun-boats having came out of Calais. Our cruisers immediately sailed and a heavy firing was heard yesterday morning till ten P. M. it then ceased. Soon afterwards a more distant firing was heard. No particulars have yet been received, but we suppose the firing proceeded from an attack made by our cruisers upon their gun-boats in their passage from Calais to Bologne. It is certain that very confident expectations are entertained along our whole line coast, of an immediate attempt being made by the enemy. Yet, the frosty weather that has just set in, must, we should think, impede all the operations in the Dutch rivers.
Our troops on the coast of Sussex and Kent are particularly on the alert. We mentioned yesterday that sudden orders had been received at Hailsham Huts, and at Lewes, in consequence of which the troops had marched to the coast. In the middle of the night on Tuesday, orders arrived at Brighton for the 4th dragoons to be ready to march at nine o'clock in the morning: the troops accordingly marched to the eastward, but whether to Silver Hill or Pevensey we have not yet heard. It was rumoured at Brighton, that the cause of the sudden march was not at all connected with any movements made by the enemy.
January 9.
We have just seen a letter from an English gentleman who has lately made his escape from Fontainbleau, and remained boldly at Paris a fortnight, by means of a national cockade and a perfect knowledge of the language, from whence he is now returning via Germany. He says, "from the information I was able to collect at Paris, that city is in a great ferment, on account of Bonaparte's measures to gratify his ambition—The conscripts are refractory—The old veterans speak against the expedition, and say, that they would not embark to be butchered. The consul is not liked: he has thousands of enemies, and I think the opposition will shortly shew itself; murmurs and complaints multiply, and arrests are very frequent. It is the opinion of the wisest part of the people still, that the expedition will not take place. Nothing is ready, and all that large army on the coast is only placed there to intimidate the English, if I may use the expression. They are still building gun-boats at New Brisack on the Rhine but very slowly."
NEW-YORK, March 7.
The ship Manchester captain Hall, has arrived within the Hook in 52 days from Liverpool.
We understand from the Hound pilot boat, that boarded the Manchester, that captain Hall brings papers to the 9th January, which is 38 days later than heretofore received. No invasion had taken place at that time—Bonaparte was at Paris—and markets remained without any material alteration.
A French squadron consisting of one ship of the line, three or four frigates, with several transports, and about two thousand troops, which were cruising in the East Indian seas, have fallen into the hands of the English.

Ci-devant Mayor of the city of New-York, Attorney of that District—and who, as stated by the New-York Herald, confessed judgment in the District Court of the U. States, last November term, for one hundred thousand dollars, for public monies which came to his hands by virtue of his office, and have been applied to his own private use, has honored the city of New-Orleans with his presence.

IMPEACHMENT.
Mr. Nicholson, from the Managers appointed to support the articles of Impeachment against John Pickering made the following report:
"That on Friday, the second of March, the Managers, agreeably to the directions of the House appeared at the bar of the Senate, to support the said articles of impeachment, when John Pickering was three times solemnly called, but did not answer, or appear either in person or by counsel. The President of the Senate then stated, that he had received a letter, signed R. G. Harper, accompanying a petition signed Jacob S. Pickering, who called himself the son of the party charged. The petition being read, it was found to contain a statement of a variety of matter, particularly the insanity of judge Pickering, upon which the prayer of the petition was founded for a postponement of the trial to some future day. Mr. Harper was called to the bar of the Senate; he entered, and stated that he wished it to be distinctly understood, that he did not appear at the bar of the Senate, as council for John Pickering, from whom he had received no authority for that purpose; but that his object was to support the facts contained in the petition of Jacob S. Pickering, the prayer thereof."
"There was a short pause—when Mr. Harper rose again, and enquired, whether his appearance in support of the petition would be construed as the appearance of Pickering, by counsel: The President of the Senate answered, he presumed, that Mr. Harper's appearance would not be considered as the appearance of John Pickering, by counsel."
"The Managers, under these circumstances, felt themselves bound to object to Mr. Harper's being heard in any other capacity than as a counsel for the party who was impeached; and briefly stated their reasons for the objection."
"The Senate withdrew to a private chamber where it is presumed the question was debated—The Managers again appeared at the bar of the Senate this day and was informed by the president, that it had been resolved to hear Mr. Harper in support of the allegations contained in the petitions of Jacob S. Pickering, and the prayer thereof. The Managers enquired at what point of time it was intended that Mr. Harper should be heard and whether this was a measure preliminary to the trial. The president of the Senate declared that he could not undertake to explain the resolutions of the Senate; but that their sense must be collected from the resolutions themselves. The Managers then offered themselves ready for trial, declaring that they were prepared to open the prosecution on behalf of the house of Representatives;—and that the witnesses were ready to prove the fact charged in the articles of impeachment. Upon this offer being made, the President of the Senate stated he considered it to be the sense of the Senate, that Mr. Harper was to be heard before the trial commenced."
"The Managers considered this as an irregular step, & not believing that they ought to discuss any petition presented to the Senate from a person who was not a party to the impeachment, and this, too, before the party charged, although duly notified, had appeared, either in person, or by attorney, withdrew from the Senate chamber; They will not feel themselves either bound or authorised to appear again, until the Senate shall inform them, that they are prepared to proceed in the trial, unless specially directed by this house."
MARTINSBURG, March 16.
Married on Tuesday last, Dr. THOMAS PATTERSON, of this Town, to Miss JANE CLARKE, Daughter of Mr. George Clarke, of Greencastle, Pennsylvania.
On the same day, Mr. JAMES HANNAH, to Mrs. ANN PARKE, both of this County.
Memoranda.—Edward Livingston, late United States District Attorney has actually confessed judgment for one hundred thousand dollars to the United States on account of public monies which he has pocketed. Mr. Harrison was removed to make way for this hero of economy.
Major Hart, one of Mr. Jefferson's republican commissioners of bankruptcy for Connecticut committed forgeries to the same amount, and has virtually resigned by running away.
The Postmaster of Upper Marlbro. (Maryland) has run away with all the receipts of the post office. A federalist has been removed to make way for this worthy patriot; who, no doubt, bawled as loud for liberty as the best of them.
INTERROGATORIES
 1. Do these facts confirm your belief in the good policy of removing faithful men from office to make room for needy favorites?  2. Is it more for the public good to be cheated by democrats, than to be faithfully served by federalists? 
3. Are you a spouting, swaggering democrat? If so, we shall hardly be able to convince each other on these points, and had better leave the dispute where it is. (Federal Ark.)
Some very extraordinary antiquities have lately been discovered on the banks of the little Miami river, state of Ohio. They consist of structures bearing every evidence of an acquaintance with the arts of civilization and of science, and from their great extent leave little room for enquiry as to the ancient state of this continent which sets aside all former hypotheses.
These works considered as military fortifications, are not confined to one position, nor to that rude uniformity distinguishing the works of unrefined nations.
The principal course of fortifications which are situate a few miles from the Ohio, are composed of a number of squares and oblong communications, adapted to the position of the ground, several rising banks and hills are chosen as points of defence; and circular as well as rectangular structures present themselves; which are connected by long chains of works of various lengths from half a mile to a mile.
It is remarkable that the communication is preserved and sally ports open covered by interior breast works, adjoining the neighbouring springs; the sides of the hills form a natural talus or glacis to the general range of the works, and a covert way is cut from each of the sally ports to the springs. In one point where there is a spring somewhat distant from the main fortress, a small fortress appears—the size of the greater may be conceived by that of the less, which forms a parallelogram of 662 by 331 feet. The sides of some of the squares are from 1000 to 2000 feet. And one of the communications extends to the distance of 2864 feet.
One of the most extraordinary of the discoveries of these antiquities, is what we call a turnpike road, formed of stone; which issues from one of the sally ports of the greater fortifications more than 20 feet wide and had been traced to the extent of 3 miles from the works in good order.
Twenty miles above the greater fortification on the same river is another series of works, upon similar principles. There are no ditches to any, but great ingenuity is perceptible in the choice of positions and the application of art to the line of apparent defence.
A Mr. Ludlow found in one of the works an iron ball of 70 pounds weight, which has thrown great difficulty in the way of enquiry. May it not have been adventitiously placed there? Or does it belong to the ancient works?
Massacres, at Aux-Cayes—From the New-York Gazette of the 5th inst.
Capt. Fairchild, who arrived here yesterday from Aux-Cayes, gives us a most distressing account of the situation of that place. He informs that the most horrid massacres were going on at Aux-Cayes; a few nights before he sailed, most of the whites of that place were put to death. Mr. McIntosh, a citizen of the United States, Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Carter, merchants of that place, who do business for Americans at Aux-Cayes, and two or three others, fortunately escaped, they having thrown themselves under the protection of the commander in chief Cauchois. Captain Fairchild brought out five French passengers, whom he picked up at sea between three and four leagues from land, and who made their escape from Aux-Cayes in an open boat during the massacre at that place. A stagnation of business took place immediately after the commencement of the massacre.
Capt. Fairchild further informs, that the magazine at Port-Republican was said to have been blown up, and that a great number of people were destroyed in the explosion—and it was said that the blacks suspected the whites to have been the instigators of it. Shortly after this event, all the whites, except six, and all but three or four at the Cape, were massacred.

The SAILOR'S FAREWELL.
Hark! the holla, that calls us away! Tom, fill up a bumper in haste; While the ship lies unmoor'd in the bay, Let us drink to the days that are past.
Let us drink, jolly boys, ere we part, To our mates that carouse on the shore, To the friend whom we lodge in our heart; To the nymph whom we prize as our store.
Adieu to the hut in the vale, To the secret recess in the grove; To old Ned, with October so stale; To Sally, the maid of my love.
To the joys of the feast and the glass, Where beauty displays all her charms; To the song and the buxom young lass, That melts at the sound in your arms.
See the mainsail that floats on the wind, Hark! they heave up the anchor!—Yee ho!
Our friends stand assembled around, While the shores all re-echo—hillo!
Farewel to our dear native home, And our sweet little pastimes of yore; O'er the wide spreading ocean we roam, And may see the old hamlet no more.
Yet the heart of a sailor can feel For his friends, for his country's re- pose! To these he presents the smooth peel; And the rough oak beneath—to their foes.
Ye breezes, blow fresh from the land! Thou Power, on all nature impress'd, Who holds the wild winds in thy hand, O smooth the rough billows to rest.
They fill the loose sails as they glide; The landscape recedes from the view; In our broad wake, we furrow the tide— Ye shores of Columbia, adieu!
