ger and cold. This action was on Dec. l'6th. -
' It was hoped that such a signal defeat would
have cooled the courage of the remaining sava-
ges, and disposedthem to peace. But‘ the-event
was quite otherwise. The barbarians, reduced
to an almost desperate condition by cold and fam-
ine, and instigated by Phillip, took the first op-
portunity ofjoining their forces, and, being en-
. couraged by the governor of Canada, early on the
following spring (1767) rnade..a furious on-set up-

Medfield was attacked, and half the town burnt.
and many killctl. A universal spread of conster-
nation seemed to blackeu the whole colony. it
was at this time Capt. Pierce, with his whole com-
pany of fifty English and scvt-ral Indians were
slain. Capt. Vi/atlswortlt, rnarchtng to relieve
Sutlbury, was cut off with his whole company of
50 men. They were but ied in one grave. Some
were prtt to death wi'h torments horrid to relate.
All the coutttty eastward of X-Vt-lls, was des-
troyctl by fire and s.wor‘d. It was an awful sea-
son indced—-—our fatltct's saw tltcir country invaded
on every side. Look which way they would tlte
smoke of their country asctnded up as the smoke
ola great furnace. Men, women» and helpless
bahes fell a sacrifice to barbarian cruelty. Great
tturrrbers ofthc bravest men in the infant colonies
fell irt battle. The enemy had signal advantages
against thctn. No sootter had they made their
uttexpectctl onsets, but they were retired into the
woods and mountains, tt hereit was Impossible to
follow or overtake them. Hitherto the enemy
had become generally victorious--a darker artd
tnore dreadful cloud never overspread New-
England. No man thought his life secttre-—-noth-
ing was talked of but fire and sword. All sorts
of ntert pttt on sackloth and laid irt ashes. Day
alter day was spent in fasting and prayer.
God was jealous for his land and pitied his peo-
ple—-in the midst of judgment did he remember
mercy. The trirtmplting of the lttatlteu was
but short. Ountroops irt several bloody encoun-
ters wr.-re victorious. The enctny were pursuctl
to their lurking places, multitudes of them were
put to the sword, and great numbers were taken
prisoners. The death of Phillip, who was slain
by art Indian that had deserted frotn him, togeth-
cr with the losses they had sustained and their
dtstrcsses for want of provisions and atrmtunition,
quite disltearteuctl the savages. and several tribes
lieggcd for peace; so that lit two years, this hor-
rid war was brougltt to a close; which, though
fora time. so fornritlable to our fathers, yct. tltro’
the good providence of God, broke the power of
the savage tribcs—tlte natives were never able to
recover themselves.
These were not indeed such mighty battles as
have since determined the fate of Antetica, but
they were the stru_t:gles of an infant Colony,-_.
Matty brat e young men expired in this distress-
ing war‘, whose name deserves to be had in per-
pctual remembrance.
But what relief had ottr fathers from the moth-
er country, under all these distressing calamities ?
None. They cried but there was nont-. to hear,
The lreart of a licentious prince was lratrrlenor-l to
all their distresses; his ears were shut to their
cries. On the very year when thr: colonists were
contesting with the natives the possession of the
country, and struggling hard to preserve their
footing in New-England, a prosecution was set on
foot against them, which at length issued in the
loss of the royal charter.

You ntcet for recreation and for informtttion-—
you would become wiser and better by the more
agreeable. In your confederation you will no
longer be strangers one to another; prejudice
and suspicion will be banished ; nothing cart here-
after make you forget that you all share iii a feli-
city, on the duration of which depends your mu-
tual friendship. The stronger and more t xrcnsive
this sentiment becomes, the nearer will it bring
to perfection your public and private ltappiness.
You will assist one another in distress, as vir-
rhmts brothers ; every thing useful and beautiful
in the society of genuine Masons will be diffused,
like the rays of the summer's sun over the uni-
verse. You have been made sensible of your‘ in-
dividual weakness and of the incfiicacy of all the
means which you could use to produce the divine
image of genuine masonry upon you, and that
nothing but the divine band could draw it there.
VVhen you were first initiated into this honora-
ble society, you had high hopes. you would do
great things ; out after hard strivings and strug-
glings, you lttb-wed much, and your endeavors
were ardent, but you found that no great effect
followed, and you concluded that you grew more
and more rusty. But at the time of your being
raised to the degree of Master Mason, you were
thoroughly convinced of your own weakness and
of the necessity ofa thorough change. Then it
was that the rubbish of pride and self-rigltteous-
ness‘ was cleared from being your covering, and
thus were your hearts prepared, as a clear canvass
or lamb skin, to receive the divine image of gen-
uine masonry.
You have all been thus humbled and mortified
....you have been reduced into this medicinal self
despair. ft is the huntble heart alone that is sus-
ceptible ofthe image of genuine masonry , pritle
can never receive its linctrmcnts, nor can it be
carved on an inseusible stone. The bright beams
of the divine perfecrions are thus made to shine
upon every genuine mason, the attractive beau-
ties of holiness and all the wonders tltereofstruck
your minds with delightful astonishment. and
you viewed them in a light unknown before.—-
Hereupon, you. as genuine masons, were enabled
to cast yourselves. with all your corrttptions, up-
on an all-srrflit;ient _Saviour, and with all your
heart embraced his mediation. The view of this
glory proved to he transformative, and while you
‘were contemplating the object, you received its
; likeness.
The rays of glory beaming on you, as
it were, rendered your hearts transparent, and
the heautics of holiness were stamped upon you.
Now your minds took a new turn and your life
tr new cast: the difference then appeared to the
‘.
Q
world, and you soon became as speckled birds a-
mong them—-they were weary of your society,
and you were weary of theirs. Having been the
subject of this operation, let it be your perseve-
ring endeavour to improve and perfect it : you
will long and labour to be fully conformed to gen-
uine ntasonry, and, as it were, to catch the Sav-
iour's air, his manner, and his spirit, in every
thought, in every word, and in every action.
Let it be the labour of your life to subdue your
passions, and to brighten and finish the feature ol
the divirte image within you, by repeated touches
and re-touches. If you resemble the prince of
Heaven, with him you shall dwell forever.
Have you been the subjects of this divine ope-
ration? Push home the inquiry. If so, you may
rt-juice ttithout being the subjects of delusion:
having received the divine impress, it is a sure
earnest of the heavenly inheritance.
The image ofthc supreme archittct is the pass
port into the heavenly country ; a passport that
never was disputed; and if you bear it, the gates
of heaven will be open for your reception, and
your masonic and angelic brethren, who ltavc the
saute look, the saute manner, and the same spi-
rit; Will all hail your arrival and shout yfiur' vtcl-
contc ; will ottn you as their kindred from your
resemblance to tltcm, and you will immediately
commence a familiarity with them, from a confor-
i'.y of your dispositions.
The supreme Architect will also own the dear
image of his son, and the son \\lll acltttowlcdgc
his own image, and confess the relation.
Blessed moment 1 when we shall all appear in
his full likeness, without spot, or wrinkle, or any
such thing; where no stranger of'anotht_-t- cmm.
tcnance or another‘ spit-it slt-all mingle among you,
but all be cast iii the same mould, and all be clo-
thed itt genuine masonic unilornt. with the beau-
tics of holincss,and the robes of immortal bliss.
My dear brethrt-n—-do not your eager hearts
spring forward to meet that day? But amid all
the joy which that transporting prospect affortls,
it may be sufficiently humbling to you that tho’
you hate received this intpress yet it is but very
imperfect ; as art unfinished embryo, this itnagc
is as yet bttt very faint.
Let this consideration constrain you to put
yourselves daily r:r.‘ttler' this operation, till the
heavenly picture he matured; and I beg leave
most -atft-ctiottatcly, (and believe me, I speak with
melting and pathetic benevolence) to request you
(.llll‘,.;Clllly ttt attt-nd upon all the means which the
grand Architect is pleased to use as his peucrl.
Btetltt-ctr, guartl against every thing that may
tlcfr)r'm the divine draft, or delay its perfection.
()0 on. my brethren. in this tvay, and the glori-
ous picture will daily catch more and more ofthc
divine original, and soon come to complete per-
fection. Show to all around you, by your deport-
ment, that you will endeavor to improve in mo
raltty and religion. by walking upon the level of
justice, Withtn the square of ti uth. and ever keep-
ing within the circle of benevolence. Thus will
you follow him whose birth yotr this day cele-
brate. He too was agenuine mason. and you are
ntost affectionately '.ltlVlst'(l ever to keep him in
view as tour masonic model.
(}l~‘.()l(GE VV.IrsHttvG'ron was ofa manly deport-
mcrtt : the expression of his countenance indica-
ted the two leading features of his charat:rer---
firmness and sensibility. ‘'
Perfectly simple in his manners, be practiced
none of those artificial t'cpt'r‘:sentatiot1s of excel-
lence, which, however well imitated and support-
ed, will drop off in sortie ongoartletl moment. He
never showed the smallest inclination to appear
more or less learnc:d, or more or less any thing
than he really tvas. ()n the nearest view. no con-
cealed weakness, or disguised selfishness, were
ever unveiled, so that the more intimately he \V".ts‘
known. the more consistent his cltaracter appear-
ed ; the inviol-able chain of principies which reg-
ulrttcd his conduct was the more developed, and
he was not only the more esteemed and loved, bttt
what is rare and contrary to a general rule. the
more also was he admired. Such is the force of
genuine tIflZ'lSSllI'l1C(l\‘i'0|'Il'l; which. like the W0! k-
of nature, discloses more excellence as it is more
accur:ttel_v inspected.
ln couvcrsttttou he was ttnaffccretl and instruct-
ive; and although the habits of his mind t;enerall_v
turned it to ol)jr-cts of importance. yet he seldom
failed to mix with his arguments tnuch wit and
pleasantry, of which he possessed an altrrntl-.tnt
vein. \Vhen, ll()\VcVL‘l‘.lll5 prii_tciplcs were contest-
ed, he entercd ittto the subject more deeply than
is agret-atule to tltefasltionablc tone of cortrersa-
tion, which shines lightly over the surhtcc of all
subjects, and penetrates to the bottom of noue.—--
A zcortling-l_v,mixed cornpanies.snclt as busy Sc gay
life tnttst be, could not be inuclt to his taste ; cott-
versations, in which no sentiment is (lCll\’C|'(:(l with
freedom,or expressed with force,lest it should hap-
pen to press upon the Cl1alactt:l‘_.ttCll0nh or connex-
ions of some person present.could not accord with
the sine rity of his manners. lint the more he
confined his society within the compass of his
ft iends,the stronger were his attacltrttents to them.
-Of these, his relations as a hrtsbatzd, it natural and 5
tnasonic brother, being the closrst, were conse-
quently the more conspicrtoutt. As on all occu-
sions, he regulate-.tl his cottduct by the strictest re-
gard‘to duty, this principle could not fail in these
important instances, to produce its full effect;
here, however, its operation was suppressed by
the strength of his affections. lle let no opportu-
nity pass of proving his filial pit-t_v irt one case, or
of cementing the unio_n of hearts in the other.
Brethren, in this way does genuine masonry be-
come the centre of urtion among the brethren,
and the happy means of conciliati_ng and ccrnetrt-
mg into one body those person.-'. of all ages and of
all nations. of all dertontinations. who might oth-
erwise have rernainctl at a perpetual distance,
tlrerehy s=.rt.-ngtltening. and not tveakenirrg. the di-
vine obligations of religion and love. Confident
ofthejustice and of the interesting nature ofrhese
obligations, let me ask, is there in the wide rc-
gious of human concet‘ns——is there in the still
wider regions of the universe, an object which
ought more to cngross the attention anti the labor
of man, than thus to aim, and thus to labor, to.im-
plant truth and to inculcate virtue? ()u__t;ltt not
these things to seize the heart,to inspire the voice,
and to command the hands of every genuine ma-
son ?

In the course ofthe present week, a vessel ltas
cleared at our custom house for l*'lorida,* with a
cargo of sugarcane plants, cotton seed, attd agri-
cultural utensils, &c. which, we learn, are intend-
ed tor the use oftlte settlements now fornting, on
what is called Forbes’ Purchase, on the Appalach-
icola river. VVe understand front set eral gentle
men who have lately visited the above place, that
the t;lima'e, soil, and situ.tt‘.on, offer many and
great inducements to advtntttrers; and it is said
that a number of wealthy planters of this state
have it in contemplation to remove their proper-
ty, Ste. to that quarter-. A sample of the sea isl-
and cotton made there last season, we have seen;
and are informt-di, that it has also been examined
by some of the best judges in this city and Sa-
vannalt,wlto give it as their opittiort that it is equal
to any ever produced itt Georgia or South Ca ro-
lina, in point ofstrength anti length of staple, and
fineness of fibre.

and cordial gratification we learn, that the Span-

danger of hating Indian wars on our southern ex-
tretrtity stll't(-:tl u|) by foreign adventurers. The
evils that have arisen from this source, have been
great and perplexing ; and the United States have
been subjected to great expense and dtfliculty,
and to not at little vcxation, by disturbartces raised
antottg the lntlians under foreign juris(liction.——
This rttiscltief, and the origin ofir, is now remo-
vcd, we trust forever, in that portion of our do-
minions. .
Another circumstance of great importance to
be consitlt.-red, is the check that will now be put
to the introt.luction ofslaves. through the 1“loridas,
into the United States. That this iniquity will
be entirely destroycd, so long as the slave trade
is carried on upon the present scale at Cuba, is
not to be expected. But when the Floridas are
furnishetl with regular governments under our
law s, and those laws are fairltftrlly executed, it will
be attended with considerable tliflic_rtlty,,a,n§l no

lfv the Treaty just concluded with Spain, the

'17:» Unicortz.-—Irt the 47th number ofthc Quar-

article itt rcltezion to the Snowy llattge of the fli-
malny mottnt-.tins——formirig that stop: ndous but-
tress, tvlticlt supports on the south the elevated
'|'-ablt-Land of Central Asia. The article of which
we speak, is a review of a tottr through a part of
these lTl0tlIllttill.*-, to the sottrces of the _Rivcrs
Jumna and Ganges. lo the course of the review,
the writer introduces a letter from a British oili-
cer commanding in the hilly country east of No-
paul, to the Marquis of Hastings. stating that the
Unicorn, so long considered as a fabttlotrs animal,
actually exists at this moment in the interior of
Thibet, where it is well l:.nown to the inhabitants.
The description of the animal corresponds exactly
with the Unicorn of the auciettts. The hoofslare
divided, and the size that of a horse from twelve
to thirteen hands high ; fierce and extremely
tvild ; seldom, if eve r caught alive, but frequently
shot; and that the flesh is used for food. '7The
person who gave the inforntationvto the author of
the letter (Major Latter.) has repeatetlly seen
these animals. and eaten the flesh of them. They
;go together in ltetds, like wild buffaloes. The
;' (lrawint; accompanying the letter shows some rc-
l semblance to a horse, but has clovcn fools, a long
curt-ed ltorn growing out of the fore-head, artd at
boar slttrped tail. From its herding together, ob-
serves the reviewer, as the unicorn of the script-
ures is said to do, as well as from the rest of the
description, it is evident that it cannot be the rhi-
noceros‘, which is a solitary animal.—Coyn. .r1dn.

as soon as Tawszrr felt her water, he made a pitch
between her leg“: and tntnbled flat on her back ;
and the instant her head touched the ice, it stuck
fast, and there she lay, kicking and screaming
most prodigiously. Jonathan seeing her, thought
she had the fits; so he bounced over the fence
and wrenchctl her up, but she left a bunch of
wool and scalp behind, full as broad as your hand.
