The discourses of many Ingenious Travellers (who have lately sen this part of the West Indies) have for Salubrity of Air, Fertility of Soyl, for the Luxuriant and Indulgent Bless ings of Nature, justly rendered Caro lina Famous. So that since my Ar rivakat London, I have observed many with pleasing Ideas, and Contempla tions, as if ravisht with Admiration, discourse of its ,Pleasures. Whilst others more actively prest and stim ulated, have with vehement and ar 'dont )eslres willingly resolved to hazard their lives, Families, and For tunes to the Mercy of the Wind, Seas, and Storms, to enjoy the Sweets of so desirable a Being. * * * * * * * * Carolina derives her name either froth our present Illustrious Monarch, under whose glorious Auspices it was first establisht an English Colony, in the Year One Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy, and under whose benign and happy Influence it now prospers and flourishes. Or from Charles the Ninth of that Name King of France, in whose reign a Colony of French Pro tesants were transported thither, at the encouragement of Gasper Coligni, Admiral of that Kingdom; the place of their first Settlement named in I-ion our of their Prince Arx Carolina; but not long after, that Colony, with Mon sieur Ribault their Leader, were by the Spaniards at once cut off and de stroy'd. Since which, nor French, nor Spaniard have made any Attempt for its Re-Settlement. * * * * * * * * The Soyl near the Sea, of a Mould Sandy, farther distant, more clayey, or Sand and Ojay mixt; the Lapd lies upon a Level in fifty or sixty Miles round, having scarce the least 11111 or IHadnency.

The Mul berry Tree every where amidst the Woods grows wild: The Planters, near their Plantations, in Rows and Walks, plant them for Use, Ornament and Pleasure: What - I observed of this Fruit was admirable: the Fruit there, was full and ripe in the latter end of April and beginning of May, where as in .'ngland and Europe, they are not ripe before the latter end of Au gust. A Manufactory of Silk well en couraged might soon be accomplisht, the clemency and moderateness or the Climate to indulge and nourish the Silk-worm: To make tryal of its Success, was the Intention of those French Protestant Passengers trans ported thither in Ills Majesties Frigat the Richmond being Forty-Five, the half of a great Number designed for that place; but their Design was too early ainticipated: the Eggs which they brought with them being hatch't at Spa, before we could reach the Land, the Worms for want of Provision were untimely lost and destroyed. * * * * * * * * The great encrease of their Cattel is rather to be admired than believed; not more than six or seven years past the Country was almost destitute of Cows, hogs, and Sheep, now they have many thousand Ilead. The Planter in Winter takes no care for their Provisions. which is a great Advan tage, the Northern Plantaties obliging the Planters to spend great apart or their Summer to provide Fodder and Provision for their Cattle, to preserve them from starving in Winter. The Cows the Year round brouzing on the sweet Leaves growing on the Trees and Bushes, or on the wholesome HIerbago growing underneath: They usually call them home in the Even ing for their Milk, and to keep them from running wihi. logs find more than enough of Fruit in the Sunminer and Roots and Nuts in the Winter; .S--FROM MILL TO MAN--C. hy Pay $2 t TAILOR-MADE .t a Hand-tailored Si vidual Measure for I you eliminate the middlemen and the volume of business a tes.

Their S'heep bears good Wool; the Ewes at a time often have 2 or 3 Lambs; they thrive very well, the Country being so friendly to their Nature, that it's observed, they are neither 1liable nor incident to any known Disease or Distemper. * * * * * * * * There are in Calorina great num bers of Fire Flies, who carry their Lanthorns in thei Tails in dark Nights, flying through the Air, shining like Sparks of Fire, enlightning it with their Golden Spangles. I have seen a larger sort at Jamaica, which 1)r. leylin in his Cosmography, enumerates amongst the Rarities and Wonders of Hispaniola, an Island un der the Kingof Spain, distant between 20 and 30 Leagues from Jamalsa: These have two Lights above their Eyes, and a third in their Tails: in dark nights the'y shine like Candles; for which I hlve often at a distance mistaken them, supposeing them to have been the Lights of some adjacent Plantation; and in this I have not been the first that has been so deceiv ed. Amongst large Orange Trees in the Night, I have seen many of those Flies, whose Lights have appeared like Candles, or pendant Flambeaus, which amidst the Leaves and ripe Fruit yielded a Light truly glorious to behold; with 3 of these included in a Glass Bottle, in a very dark night I have read very small Characters: When they are kill'd, their Igneous or Luminous Matter (oes not immediate ly, (til -half an hour, or an hour af ter their Deaths) extinguish. * * $ * * * * * The Natives of the Country are from time immemorial, ab Origine Indians, of a deep Chestnut Colour, their Hair Black and straight, tied various ways, sometimes oyl'd and paittted, stuck through with Feathers for Ornament or Gallantry; their Eyes black and Sparkling, little or no Hair on their Chins, well limb'd and featured, painting their Faces with different Figures of a red or Sanguine Colour, whether for Beauty or to render them selves formidable to their Enemies I APITOL WOOLEN MILLS 5 to $35 CLOTHES? uit made to your mess.

Manufactures, or Arts amongst them I have heard of none, only lit tIe Baskets, made of painted Reeds and Leather drest sometimes with Black and Red Chequers coloured. In Medicine, or the Nature of Simples, some have an exquisite knowledge; and in the cure of Scorbutick, Ven ereal, and Malignant Distemper are admirable: In all 1External Diseases they suck the part affected with many Incantations, Philtres and Charms: In Amorous Intrigues they are excellent either to procure Love or Hatred: They are not very forward in Discov ery of their secrets, which by long Experience are religiously transmit ted and conveyed In a continued Line from one Generation to another, for which those skill'd in this Faculty are held in great Veneration and Esteem. Their Religiou chiefly consists in the Adoration of the nt and Moon: At the Appearance of the New Moon 1 have observed them withopen extend ed Arms then foldend, with inclined Bodies. to make their Adorations with much Ardency and Passion: They are divided into many Divisions or Na tions, Govern'd by llegull, or Petty Princes, which our English call Ca occoes: Their Diet is of Fish, Flesh, and Fowl, with Indian lMaiz or Corn; their Drink Water, yet Lovers of the Spirits of Wine and Sugar. They have hitherto lived in good Correspondence and Amity with the English, who by their iust and equitable 'Carriage have extreanmly winn'd and obliged them; Justine being exactly and impartially administred, prevents Jealousies, and Mlaintains between them a good I'nl lerstanling, that the Neighbouring Indians are very kind, and servicea ble, doing our Nation such Civilities and good Turns as lie in their Power.
