Salisbury, June 8, 1821. 53 Stage to 1acg. THE subscriber, who is contractor for carrvincr the U. States Mail between xaSS3t$Z?tm Raleigh and Salisbury, by way of Randolph, Chatham, &c. respectfully in forms the public, that he has fitted up an entire NEW STAGE; which, added to other improve ments that have been made, will enable him to carry PASSENGERS with as much comfort and expedition as they can be carried by any line of stages in this part of the country. The scarcity of mone, the reduction in the price of produce, fee. demand a correspondent reduction in every department of life : Therefore, the subscriber has determined to reduce the rate of passage from eight to six cents per mile. Gentlemen travelling from the West to Raleigh, or by way of Raleigh to the North, are invited to try the subscriber's Stage, as he feels assured it only needs a trial to gain a preference. The St.irre arrives in Salisbury every Tuesday, or 9 o'clock, and departs thence for Raleigh : the same day at 2 o'clock; it arrives in Raleigh l-nday evening, and leaves tilers for Salisbury on Saturdav at 2 o'clock. .!y22,"!821. 50 JOHN LANE. fy AN away from the subscriber, at Charlotte, JiX Mecklenburg count v, N.

Before the appearance of Christiani ty there existed nothing like religion on the face of the earth ; the Jewish only excepted : all other nations were immersed in the grossest idolatry, which had little or no connexion with morality, except to corrupt it by the in famous examples of their imaginary deities : they all worshipped a multipli city of gods and daemons, whose favour they courted by impious, obscene, and ridiculous ceremonies, and whose an-i most abominable cruelties. In the po litest ages of the politest nations in the world, at atime when Greece and Rome had carried the arts of oratory, poetry, history, architecture, and sculpture, to the highest perfection, and made no in considerable advances in those of math ematics, natural, and even moral phi losophy, in religious knowledge they had made none at all ; a strong pre sumption, that the noblest efforts of the mind of man, unassisted by revelation, were unequal to the task. Some few, indeed, of their philosophers were wise enough to reject these general absurd ities, and dared to attempt a lollier flight: Plato introduced many sublime ideas of nature, and its first cause, and of the immortality of the soul, which being above his own and all human dis covery, he probably acquired from the books of Moses or the conversation of some Jewish rahbies, which he might have met with in Egypt, where he resi ded and studied for several years : from him Aristotle, and from both Ci cero and some few others drew most amazing stores of philosophical sci ence, and carried their researches into divine truths as far as human genius a lone could penetrate. But these were bright constellations, which appeared sincrlv in several centuries, ana even these with all this knowledge were ve rv dehcient in true tneoioirv. rrom the visible works of the creation they traced the being and principal attri butes of the Creator; but the relation which his being and attributes bear to man theyr little understood ; of piety and devotion they had scarce any sense, nor could they form any mode of wor ship worthy of the purityT and perlec- tion of the divine nature: they occa sionally flung out many elegant enco miums on the native beauty, and excel lence of virtue : but they founded it not on the commands of God, nor con nected it with a holy life, nor hung out the happiness of heaven as its reward, or its object. 'I hey sometimes talked of virtue carrying men to heaven, and placing them amongst the gods ; but by this virtue they meant only the in vention of arts, or feats of arms : lor with them heaven was open only to legislators and conquerors, the civil- izers, or destroyers oi mankind. I nis was then the summit of religion in the most polished nations in the world, and even this was confined to a lew philosophers, prodigies of genius and liierature, who were little attended to, and less understood by the generality of mankind in their own countries ; whilst all the rest were involved in one common cloud of ignorance and super stition. At this time Christianity broke forth from the east like a rising sun, and dis pelled this universal darkness, which obscured every part of the globe, and even at this day prevails in all those remoter regions, to which its salutary influence has not as yet extended. From all those which it has reached, it has, notwithstanding its corruptions, banished all those enormities, and in troduced a more rational devotion, and purer morals ; it has taught men the unity, and attributes of the Supreme Being, the remission of sins, the res urrection of the dead, life everlasting, and the kingdom of heaven ; doctrines as inconceivable to the wisest of man kind, antecedent to its appearance, as the Newtonian system is at this day to the most ignorant tribes of savages in the wilds of America; doctrines, which human reason never could have disco vered, but which, when discovered, co incide with, and are confirmed by it; and which, though beyond the reach of all the learning and penetration of Pla to, Aristotle, and Cicero, are now clearly laid open to the eye of every peasant and mechanic with the bible m his hand, lhese are all plain facts too glaring to be contradicted, and therefore, whatever we may think of the authority of these books, of the New Testament, the relations which they contain, or the inspiration of their authors, of these facts no man, who has eyes to read, or ears to hear, can entertain a doubt ; because there are the books, and in them is this religion.

Ilepcrt made by a committee of the Agricultural Society of Pendleton, S. Carolina. HEAD, MiVDlBEn 12, 1818. The committee appointed upon Farm Stock, beg leave now to report : That this subject embraces a very important branch of husbandry and rural economy, and is very extensive when taken in all its relations, must be obvious to all who have paid the small est attention to agricultural pursuits. our committee, believing that it was only intended by the society that they should lay before it such facts and ob servations as were calculated to shew the preference of one snecies cf the r,ame genus of domestic animals over another, so far as it respected the oper ations of husbandry, or the comforts and profits of the farmer, will confine their observations to such as are con sidered of the first importance, and endeavor to shew why the farmer should turn his attention to the raising and ucing one kind rather than anoth er. The breeds of horses not being so distinct in this country as in some others, it is difficult to desciibe the race most valuable to the farmer as best suited to the business of agricul ture. In some of the middle states, the large dray breed is used as best suited to their heavy market wagons ; and in the eastern and all the southern states, a middle sized horse is prefer red, on account of his not consuming so much food, his being able to endure much more fatigue, and perform more work in the same time. Your commit tee are of opinion, that, if horses are thought the most proper animal upon a farm, for the wagon, the plough, and the cart ; those which spring from the common breed, and partaking a little of the blood-horse, arc the best calcu lated to perform all the services of the farm horse, with the greatest ease and expedition, and with the least expense to the owner. But those which are raised upon the farm, beyond w hat are necessary for its use, should, at any rate, be crossed with the best blood in the country as such will not cost more, in the raising, than the coarsest, and will command a much greater price for the saddle or pleasure carriage. And if any particular breed of fine horses has shown its decided superiority, in the southern states, for vigor of con stitution, activity' and strength, it is that which has descended from the Genius stock, which has, from its make and qualities, become almost a distinct race. It has long been a question, however, whether the horse or the ox should be preferred as a beast of the plough. It has been urged in favour of the ox, j that he was capable of bearing great j fatigue, was equally docile, lived near- ly as long as the horse, subsisted upon j less expensive food, and almost entire- J 1 A ,1 l iy wiuioul grain, auu m uic enu was convertible into the most delicious food for man, and afforded valuable mate rials for his comfort and convenience. That if by accident he became laixic or blind, still he would depreciate Imt lit tle in his value, whereas the hofsz under the same circumstances, would 13y reference to the Steed Book, it will ap pear that the imported horse which has g-iven a name to this stock of hcrses, was Gcruu?, and net Janus, as h commonly supposed. be worse than useless. To this it is answered, that although the horse is a more delicate and expensive animal, whose carcase is worth nothing, yet that he more than compensates for these qualities, by the expedition with which he performs his work, thereby enabling the farmer to save much time, byr doing so much more in the same space, and "time is money." Al though the ox does not require so much grain as :he horse, yet he demands a greater quantity of provender or long forage, and as he is certainly less ca pable of bearing heat than the horse, it seem-; that he is only suited to an elevated and cool country, which af fords good pasturage and meadows ; arid therefore, before the ox can be j worked to great advantage in any coun try, grass and hay must be first attend ed to. For these reasons, where the ox was formerly7 the common beast of the plough, the horse is almost univer sally substituted. To find an animal uniting most of the good qualities of the horse and ox, with but few of the objections applicable to either, is cer tainly a great desideratum in agricul ture. In the opinion of your commit tee, the mule is better calculated to an swer the general purposes of the farm, than either the horse or the ox, as uni ting the good properties of each with, but few of the bad. Nothing but ig norance and prejudice could have kept the value of this useful animal so long from being known among us. But ot what is ignorance and prejudice not capable ? It is, however, very strange, that the most intelligent writers upon farm stock, appear, and acknowledge themselves to be ignorant of them as a beat of the plough, particularly as their great value has been long known in the south of Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America. In old Spain, the stock, frpm which theyr descend, is as much attended to, in point of pedi gree, as the finest horses in England there, a pair of good mules will cost twice as much as a pair of good horses, and in South America, a mule is con sidered worth many horses, and in some parts of our own state, one gnod mule is valued equal to two plough horses. These facts are stated, to shew that we are not singular in think ing highly of mules, and for this pr. -ference it is thought there are reasons sufficient to convince every calculating mind. The mule is more easily raised than the horse, more able to bear heavy burthens, equally strong for the draft, more patient, equally docile, will live twice or thrice as long, capable of en during much more labor, will do as much work in the same time, and will not be more than one half the expense, as they will not eat more than one half the grain, will make use of long forage, which the delicacy of the h.rse will reject, and will bear the heat full as well, perhaps better. Besides all this, they are able to work sooner, and are only in their prime when the horse has become an useless expense by age. From the smallness of their foot, they may not answer so well as the horse in deep, miry roads, but from the excel lence of the hoof, they will never re quire to be shod, except upon long journies over rocky roads. That most useful and neglected ani mal the cow, has engaged the attention of vour committee, and as this is be lieved, upon the whole, the most im portant stock for the farmer, much might be said on this subject, but it is thought unnecessary, upon the present occasion, to say more than to express an opinion, as to the kind which is the best for this country, and the reasons for that opinion. That the stock which is mingled with what is here called the English breed, and in England the short-horned or Dutch breed, is better than the common stock of the country, it is believed no one can doubt, who was present at the cattle show of this society, in September last, or who has, at all, attended to the improvement of this animal. There, several calves were exhibited, all of which, except one, partook in different degrees of this foreign breed of cattle. T'ne one exhibited of the common br'jed, was certainly very large, and did great credit to its owner, and nt the same time no one present could think that it was at all comparable to any one of the others. This was conclusive as to
