SIR

SIR,
Ii am not greatly deceived in the
present state OF the public mind, that distin-
guished patriot and orator Mr.. John Ran
dolph is not so much general favorite as he
formerly was, and infinitely less so than he
deserves to be.
take it that this change is to be attribu-
ted in great measure. to his competitors in
Congress, who perceiving that he alone has
the penetration to discern the true interests
of his country, and the honesty to pursue
them, consider themselves as thrown into
the shade by the superior effulgence of his
patriotism, and therefore lose no occasion of
sendeayoring to undervalue his efforts, and to
misrepresent his motives.
1t is indeed a curious fact that while he
has laboured, ever since he gave over his in
tention of visiting Europe, to illumine that
benightcd body, scarcely one in twenty of it's
members has availcd himself Of his friend
ly light but goaded on by unprovoked hos
tllity to Great Britain, stung with envy Of
MIR. RS virtues, and wheedled by the ca
resses of France. they have abandoned him;
and trusted to his single & unsuppor.ed zeal
the vindication of his country's rights. To
the shame Of the republicans it must be spo-
ken, the fcderalists alone, for some time,
had the sagacity to see the force ofhis argu-
mcnts, but these gentlemen have now dis
covered that he is somewhat too honest for
them, and they too have gone below, and
icft him alone upon deck in the political tem-
res. 10 scud or lie to as occasion may serve
! AN however proud to see that this true

The farmer never need enquire for instru-
ments to kill time. 1t is his rational employ
ment to keep pace with the steady hours, and
enliyen the long day with his well paid indus
try.
When the sun refused his assistance in
making hay, instead of killing time, kill the
bushes in your field and pasture. IF you en-
quire the fatal hours or days for cutting them,
| know but one certain rule-mow them
when they are high enough to shade the grass
like vices, they must be cropped In the bud.
Never suffer the branch to grow the root
will soon die Of course.
Nov them but once year, and, like the
will of stubborn child, but half subdued, they
shoot up with double boldness.
You would spend hundred dollars in the
law, rather than suffer ltigious neighbor to
gain half dozen rods of your land. Why
should you be tamey disseized by the birch
or thorn HALF the sum would eject the most
tenacious shrub from whole acre, and leave
YOU in quiet possession of the soil.
Consider this, and you will be cautious how
you leave the scythe, hoe and plough for the
less profitable and more dangerous weapons
Of the law.
There is a time and turn to every thing
While the politician is observing the turn OF
the times, and the trader intent on turning bis
dollars to profit, the economical farmer will
not forget to turn his land in due time. AS
soon as You have reaped your wheat and rye,
if the aDd is for tillage next year, take the first
opportunity to turn the soil with the plough.
The stubble will keep the ground light, and
the weeds, instead drumming to seed, will be
turned toa manure.

sow"

Little reliance is to be placed upon many
pleasure day or two since, of conversing with
a gentleman ofrespectabiity and intelligence
from the camp before Augustine. He in
forms US that there was no truth in the report
published in several papers that the governor
of Augustine had offered to give up the cas-
tie if demanded in the name Of the u States
No such intimation bad been given, nor is the
least disposition manifested to relipqush the
fortress while it can be retained. Colonel
Smith, with about two hundred American
troops is encamped about two miles from the
castle, having no orders to act offensive, or 10
abandon his position. "he patriots are short
distance in the rear of col Smith. Some ex
curtions from the castle have been made for
cattle, sc. but no diminishing has taken place.
Three of the patriots were not long since at
tackled in house by nine Spaniards; one OF
the patriots was killed, and two Spaniards
were also killed, and the rest ran of. This IS
all the boodshed that has as yet occurred
Col Smiths troops are pretty healthy; be has
only lost one man within tweve months, and
that one came from Norfolk in the last stages
of consumption.
The proceedings Of the executive OF Geor-
gia relative to Florida, were, it is supposed,
predicated upon the confident belief and assn
rance, that an act OF congress would pass for
taking possession of that country. The re-
lection of the bill for that purpose, has created
both astonshment and disappointment. The
castle of Augustine ls represented as place
