mw<?a?m CHE RAW GAZETTE. FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE 23, 1839. 1 1 Certain uLiterary" and Miscellaneous journals in Virginia and South Carolina, still at- I tempt to discredit the "Mecklenburg Decla- i ration of Independenr In eo doing, how- \ ever, they only br..jg discredit upon them- I selves. For the evidence in favor of the docu- ] ment is such as must bring conviction to any < rational mind that will dispassionately exam- ; ine it. If state jealousy is the foundation of ] any part of the prejudice with which the conductors of the journals refered to view this subject, it is surely time to discard it. 1 We are indebted to a friend in New York t for a copy of the " Sun, Extra" containing a j report of the trial of a Dr. Septimus Hunter for manslaughter, in causing the death of a patient by mal-practice in Obstetrics. The ??1 t. cuuubci iur itit; ueicuuauk auvuipicu iu caw-uuv the material part of the testimony on the ground that his client was lawfully set to ^ work by the deceased or her friends, and that ^ * the death of the patient, if caused by him, laid 8 the foundation not for an indictment, but for a civil action for damages. The court over* ruled the objection and admitted the testimony, which proved that the death of the wo- ^ mac was caused by mal-praclice of the de- ( a fendant, through ignorance of the professional f I duties which he had undertaken to discharge* f " The jury, accordingly, after a labored argu<ment by the counsel <n both 6ides, brought in t a verdict of manslaughter. The sentence of fi the court was twelve months confinement in q the Penitentiary. Here the doctor will be n taught to labor in some mechanical employ. ment by which, when liberated, he may be able honestly to support himself without endangering the lives of those who patronise a him. e Tko oTimnla ic a flrrvad ntiP. And the first of *, M U? ?A?U.r.V b , l the kind which, so far as we know, has been ^ set in this country. The prosecuting attorney ^ in opening the case, stated that only two such were on record as having occurred in any court. It is to be hoped the case will call attention to the subject in other parts of the country, and thai Bimilar prosecutions will ? follow in different Stales. Tnousands upon ^ thousands are killed annually in this country n by men as ignorant as Doctor Hunter, many of them more so, who by loud professions of extraordinary skill and success in the treat, ment of disease lure into their bands confi. ding victims. It is no excuse that they intend 1 no evil. They may consider their remedies v and practice safe. Many of them may verily believe at the time they are ki'ltng their pa tient, that they are doiug the very best thing v which could be done to save btm. Hunter be. ^ lieved the same thing; but his patient fared none the better for that. 11 was his confidence that carried him forward in the mischief wnich ^ he was doing, against the cries and resistance gi of his patient and the remonstrance of her friends. If quacks knew the danger of their ouackerv. nine:v-nine in a hundred of them * ? ? ( would quit it. It is to their ignorant confi- 1 dence that their boastmg is often to be ascri- f bed, rather than to any extraordinary moral j depravity, or wish to deceive. They are com- j BionJy so ignorant of the structure and func. tions of the different organs in the human frame?of the diseases to which these organs are liable, and the derargiraeut of function ^ which sometimes occur, as well as of the na- S ture and effects of the drugs which they use> and the symptoms by whtcn these effects are indicated, that they do not often know when p death occurs, whether it is caused by the diseaee or by their treatment. A timely and proper investigation would often throw light on such cases that would enable the public as well Q as the practitovers to understand them better, ji We believe a statute of an adjoining State, I seldom executed, requires a jury of inquest to 6 be summoned in every caso of death from whatever cause. Such a law, if properly executed in these days of quackery, might pre. ^ vent many of the ceaths which now occur.

The first were in a vessel from , Havana. None have been reported as < occuring on shore. Yellow fever has not usually commenced in Charleston before 1 August. j THE SEASON. We have accounts from the south and , south west of a long continued drought which has greatly injured cotton and com. In this section of country the season has been dry ; butnot as much so as in other places. We have had a few general rains, be. sides some thunder showers of limited extent. Crops have suffered but not irrecoverably. Early rains would still bring them out. Since the above was written we have had an abundant rain here, the second within n week. FOURTH OF JULY. The following arrangements have been adopted for celebrating the approach ing Anni. irersary of American Independence?

BLAKENEY, I Marshal of the Day. Mr. C. A kinson of Columbus, N. J. has | ed this season 150,000 wortns of t e **two rrop white" variety, all of which have now nude their cocoons.

BR1CX MACHINE. We had the pleasure yesterday of wi ? lessmg the operation of a machine for nakmg brick, which is one of great inge. imty, and it appears to us lik'dy to superedethe old tedious and exp nsive mode. Hie machine is chiefly of cast iron, pon I'Tous and strong, as t is necessary it should le, for the work it has to do. Six moulds work**! by a six horse pow?r engine, will make in a common day's vork, 20,0U0 bricks, fit, without other la? >or to be set in the kiln. The only labor )esides piling the bricks, is that required to Jig the clay, and haul it to the machine, vhere it is taken by elevators, and passes rom s ep to step, until the brick is pushed ay the machine itselffrom the mould, ready o be put into the kiln. The depth of clay in the mould before ;he pressure, is abut 4 1-4 inches, which is impresse d by the immense weight ot lear 100 tons, brought into action by the toggle joint, to the common thickness of two inches. The machinery by which the mould is filled is curious and efficient and its efficiency is only equalled by its simplicity, rhe machine now bu.lt is the first put up by :he inventor, and works well and saiisfacto -- ' li?nn fiu,l Tlio maturi. rny, SO iar as nao uccu inuu. > -.v ........ nl used was the loamy soil in the vicintv of Kensington, and from this the bricks, as they came from the moulds, were square, solid and ponderous. The machine was built at the Franklin Iron Works, James T. Sutton, proprietor. The present machine is intended, we understand for Baltimore. As they must have the effect of reducing the cause of making brick, nearly two thirds, and consequently, the price of brick, we hope toe^o 'hese ma. chines in general use.?Phila. U. S. Gaz. REMARKABLE LONGEVITY. Mr. Adam Rogers, of Bangor has published an account of the longevity of his father's family, which shows the following remarkable result.

The Collector of this port, it is stated, has 1 just discovered an old law of Congress, (pass| ed 1792,) by which all the whale oil imported I for 40 years is proved to be in violation of that o law, inasmuch as it requires every fishing p vessel to be enrolled as such, and to be provided with a l.cense accordingly. The Collec- j tor has la'ely required bonds f the owners of the ship Monmou h, from a whaling voyage, for the payment of 15 cents per gallon on whale |c and 25 cents on sperm oil, for having violated this law Every craft now whaling under a , register, is in Ike condition This discovery ' creates much excitement among the whalers.
