The Enquirer

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER:

SIR,

As a friend to 'Domestic Manufactures,' you invited samples for show; and last winter, presented to all enquirers an evidence of the industry and skill of Mrs. R. G. of Dumfries—
which, being much admired, produced an appropriate and handsome poetic compliment, from your press, to that ingenious patroness of the useful arts.

It may be of national advantage, sir, again to applaud the merits of this good lady: give circulation to the reported proceedings at the late George Town show of Domestic Ware— the particulars of a race. 'Pro bono publico,' where all have merit who fairly aim with the prize.

This is accompanied by a few winter Waistcoat Patterns, from the spindle, dye and loom of her to whom, among the raw daughters of America, it was decreed, excelled them all.

These patterns may in time become the property of those gentlemen milliners who most usually respect, for the generous argument to the fair, appreciate, Virginia girls, who, presenting by recent proceedings to understand the important interest with M. G.

promote to diffuse their happy habits of industry and useful skill.

The Expresses that carried President’s message to the Philadelphia & N. York Papers, reached the former City in less than 12 hours, and the latter in 24 from Washington— going at the rate of 100 miles in 24 hours, over exceedingly bad roads. The Post master General, says the New York Gazette, intends to establish an express mail for letters.

Mr. Pinkney of S. Carolina has laid before the H. of R. of that State, a lengthy address to the P. U. S. conveying the sentiments of S. C. on national concerns, and recommending to instruct the adoption of the most energetic measures against G. B. in case she refuses to repeal her obnoxious orders in council; and to take such measures as will probably compel her to respect us as a free and independent people—The Georgia Journal says, that by direction of council of the U. S. troops have been ordered to Ft. Hawkins by Gen. Hampton, in consequence of the reported detention of Lieut. Link's party by the Creeks; that this party is however released that the Chiefs advised him not to prosecute his journey through their nation, as they could not be answerable for the conduct of their young men, as they were jealous of the survey supposed intended to defraud the innocent Indians. So far from detaining him, they furnished guides who they to carry him by the shortest route to Ft. Stoddert, whence he had set out.
