huntlred of which is cleared, under fence,

The situation is pleasant and healthful,
as a proof ot which, it is confidently assert
ed, thai there has not been six dollars worth
of medicine administered on the Plantation,
in the six years that I have resided on it,
nor has a Doctor once been called in.

Bradford's Springs.
IT is a circumstance of no small impo? -
port&nce to ll?c citizens of this State to
have a convenient and healthy situation, To
which they ean have access during the
Summer and Autumnal months.
The Bradford Spring, at this time, ex
hibit such a situation. The buildings,
here, are capacious and convenient ; and
arc as well calculated for the accommoda
tion of the delicate and infirm, as those
who are in search of pleasure.
The situation is, probably, one of the
most eligible that this country aHo rds
The elevation is considerably above the
common level of the surfacc. The rise
and declivity ot the hill is gradual and re
gular: and its summit smooth and un
broken. The Springs empty .out of the
basis of vthe hill, at different apertures,
where it abrubtly breaks ofi, in almost, a
perpendicular descent.
The water is a strong mineral. It is
transparent and palatable. The ingredi
ents which form the composition <>! this
mineral, have not yet been accurately as
certained bv~ chemical, analysis A few
individuals have annually visited those
Springs, and those alone, ean fovm an ad
equate idea ol'the advaiita^i which results
from attending them.
The ruinous condition of vhe buildings
in all probability, and the want of accom
mDelation has, hitherto, prevented a num
ber of persons from attending these Springs.
But the subscriber flatters himself that he
is now, well prepared for the accommoda
tion of a number of persons. And he
pledges himself to spare no exertions to
render the situation of all those who attend
tjiese Springs both comfortable and Agree

REPORT
ON THE STATE OF RfcLltifON.
The following Report was occa
sioned by n comm?? icalion laid he
fore the Board of Managers of the,
Bible* Society of CharleStAi? being
a letter from Mr, Walsh, of Phila
delphia, to Gen. Thomas Pinci;nj:v,
containing a request, that a state
m'ent might he furnished him of the.
number of churches, charitable reU
gious societies, &c. and of the state
of Religion generally in South-Caro
lina. This gentleman, it was uodei
stood, was, endeavoring to collect
accurate and complete information
ot) this subject from all parts of the.
United States, with a view to repel
the charges of foreign journalists
against this country, as not sufficient
ly alive to the , interests of religion#
nor doing her proper lion of duty
iu the great schemes tlmt ^rr~in?
operation for evangelizing the woijd^
To meet his laudable views as for a*
possible, iu relation to this State, a
Committee of Enquiry was appoint
ed, con>iiUiiig^tf the following gen
tlemen :?Timothy Ford, Esq. Hit.*
Doetui s lJi rcy, Fur man, Flinn accl
l\Umer9 and Jumes George, Msq.
the result of w hose investigation is
contained iu the follow ing statement:
The Committee of ihc Hoard of Mai.
&??!*? of ihe Ilible Society of Chauieifc
ton, to whom it was referred to inquii *
and report concerning the progress an-.t
present stale of Religion, and of the
means generally adopted for cultivating
I II. wit dtfe, i.nd diflubin* the light of
Divine Truth,, in S^ith-Carolina,
REPORT:
That within the-short period that
has elapsed since it was committed
to them to collect information on the.
above sulrject, your Committee have
not had sufficient opportunities for
extensive inquiry, and have been
obliged to avail themselves of such
, resources of intelligence as were w ith
in their immediate reach; and al
though in some instances their infor
mation has been particular, in others
it is known to be general, and in
some degree impel feet; and they
have been obliged, to content them
selves by forming estimates; in the
doing of which they have aimed lo
avoid exageration.
In the state of South-Carolina,
there are the follow ing denominations
of Protestant Christians which Com
prehend the principal part of the
population, though there, are consid*
crable numbers also of the Roman
Catholic persuasion. These are the
Episcopalians, the Presbyterians, the
Methodists, the Haptists, the Con
gregatioualisU, the Lutheuns and
the Secedrts. Of most of these
denominations it may be truly said,
that within fifieeu or twenty years
they have greatly increased, and
some of them are daily increasing
with rapid progress. To state the
numbers of congregations and peo
ple iu their severul denominations,
though practihle as to some not l>c.
ing so as to all; is deemed by your
committee t6 be inexpedient, and for
the purp **4 contemplated by this
Report unnecessary. W ithin the or
\
w ?
HckN above mentioned, some of tin id
liaviS increased three fold, some have
more than doubled, and moat of
tliem have advanced in a proportion
far liejohfl i/wgrt*w*iu;? popula*
, tion of the state'. JrTotS^TO best in
formation your (\mnfrrtt*e I wive l>ccn
able to obtain, they find that the Gos
jxfl is now preached to about Oi4*
'congregation?* of. Protestant Chris
tians; that there are about 2W2 or
dained clergyman, who labor in word
and doctrine amongst them, bosiUff
