can now be had in the country. A sergeant's pay is nine dollars
per month, Corporal's seven and Carpenter's ten and a private's
are regularly paid every two months. Each person enlisting for
five years will receive twelve? dollars as a bounty. The clothing
is excellent and more than can possibly be worn?. It is not uncommon
for a soldier to have from thirty to forty dollars due him at
the end of five years for undrawn clothing. The provisions are
of the best and in abundance--the quarters are excellent.

about five feet seven inches high, eighteen or 19 years of age,
stout but awkward in his person, and when walking fast points
his elbows more than usual behind. Armistead might be readily
taken for a white man, as he is three-fourths white; his hair
is coarse and strong; of a dirty sandy colour, rather inclined
to curl. He had a variety of clothing not recollected, except
the following--a fur hat nearly new; over which he generally wears
a pasteboard; one pair of white linen pantaloons, one pair of
pale blue domestic pantaloons, one white Marseilles vest, striped
across with blue or purple, he had little or no beard; has been
raised in a dining room, and is an excellent servant in that capacity,
and probably may seek such employment in a tavern.
I will give the above reward if taken out of the county; twenty
dollars if taken in it; and fifty dollars if taken out of the
state; and all reasonable charges paid if brought home.

was held, on Saturday the 25th June, at the Presbyterian church,
in Leesburg.
Owing to the unusually early approach of harvest, few of the members
attended.--Col. William ELLZEY being the only vice-president present,
took the chair, and it appearing that a sufficient number of members
to transact business was not present, it was proposed to read
to the members attending and to the audience the proceedings and
report of the eighth annual meeting of the American Colonization
Society. These were accordingly read by the secretary, after which
the Rev. Mr. GURLEY the secretary of the mother society, (who
has visited the colony of Liberia) gave an interesting account
of its present state and its prospects, of the character and soil
of the country, of its production, and of the character of the
natives. He exhibited specimens of the coffee and mahogany, &c,
of Africa.
It was moved and carried that the meeting be adjourned to the
second Monday in August next, at which time several able and eloquent
friends of the Society, from a distance, will attend and address
our members and fellow citizens on the subject of African colonization.

July 26, 1825, OBITUARY Died in Union, Loudoun, County VA on
the sixteenth instant, in the 35th year of his age, Mr. Cornelius
VANDEVENTER. An afflicted widow and son, with numerous connegions
[sic] and friends, have cause sincerely and deeply to mourn the
unexpected privation of the deceased. The eulogist cannot convey
in exaggerated praise the estimable traits of his character. To
say the least of him, the writer of this has never known a person
who made no profession of religion, whose habits of morality were
more uniform, dignified and consistent. Indeed, from infancy he
had given an considerable portion of his time to serious and religious
meditation; and, at six years of age, he was known frequently
to prostrate himself in prayer and supplication to God, and if
continued ejaculations to heaven for pardon, with deep compunction
of soul for past offences, and repeated cries to Jesus for help
and intercession with an alternate and cheerful resignation to
the mandate of God, furnish evidence of a happy conclusion of
time, his friends enjoy the consolation. He met his fate like
a christian and a hero. He expired in tranquil sleep, without
a sign, groan or struggle, and while a multitude of mourning friends
surrounded his bed, to see the insatiate monster execute its mission,
no eye could discover when the fatal shaft was flung. The neighborhood
has never taken a deeper interest in the issue of any case, neither
did any individual ever receive more affectionate attendance.
He is now numbered with the pale millions who have gone before.
His immortal spirit, unmanacled from clay, has flown on buoyant
wings to join its kindred in the skies.
