PINDAR, jr. From the NaliOfta' fulelligencer. THE GREEKS. It is not passible to imagine a no bler cause than the Greeks are now engaged in. When we consider the pa-1 sufferings of this people, their pn sent sufferings, and dangers., and the cruel outrages that are daily com mitted against them, we cannot but sincerely deplore their present situa tion. To Americans, .indeed, they seem in a peculiar manner the objects of attention and sympathy. We cannot read the History of our own revolution, and compare it with the accounts daily received from Greece, without being forcibly reminded how much their .present situation resem bles what our own was forty years ago. They are now emulating the noble examples the Americans then set them and forwarding the great * work the Americans then began. The spectacle now opening before the world is truly grand. For up wards of four thousand years have the nations of the earth groaned un der the yoke of a degrading slavery ; or when they have been most favor ed, have enjoyed but a partial and ill-regulated freedom. During that time empires have been born, have flourished, and have again become extinct. The same rude forms of government have still prevailed, and handed down from age, and fortified by the prejudices of an ignorant and barbarous age, and by long habits of implicit submission, have held man kind in a willing and degrading bon dage. Out a new era has arisen. Ignor ance (so naturally the ally of tyran ny > is fast yielding to the empire of reason. The faded forms of anti quated despotism shrink from the |)ure light of a liberal philosophy. That nation which had so long been the sport of slaves, which had pass ed as a by-word for every thing de graded and contemptible, now leads the way in the glorious career of free dom. It is really an inspiring sight, and promises well for the future "de stinies of mankind, theis to behold a Diitwn, so long oppressed, and which seemed to’liave lost even the sense of' i freedom, rising again, from her ashes, 1 and setting an example to the world I of constancy, fortitude, persever- i iince, and exalted courage, which i would have done honor to the most 1 brilliant era of Grecian heroism. It is not a little painful to reflect that the fate of this noble people is still uncertain. Their short day of freedom may be quenched in blood. The rays of promise which have broken so suddenly through the gloom of despotism may pass away like the quick lightning ; and a night of slavery, darker and bloodier than ever, may succeed this momentary gleam. At a moment like this, it is . much and deeply to be regretted that astern and necessary policy should . be at variance with those generous impulses which all ol us must feel. . The law of self preservation, which s is tolerated among individuals, is en . joined to nations; and it becomes ' but too frequently necessary, in the - course of human events, to postpone justice in particular cases, to a sense . of general expediency. An unpro voked interference in the domestic : concerns of a nation must always be ■ dangerous, as an encroachment upon 1 the landmarks of international law. r Yet, if it were possible to imagine a case where such an interference might 5 be deemed justifiable, I know none which has so good a claim to be thought so as that of -the Greeks. The cruel war of extermination, which for so many months has been waged against them with so unrelent ing and sanguinary a spirit, and w ith so utter a contempt of all the laws of civilized warfare, has placed their en emies without the pale at once of hu manity and of those rules which go vern the intercourse of nations. Nor should the merit of the sufferers, bo forgotten, or the obligations we owe their ancestors. It was they who, three thousand years ago, at Ther mopyhe and Salamis. in a struggle' no less generous than the present one, vindicated their liberty against a host of Asiatic barbarians : and who, at ;i maturer period, and after the vi vifying effects of their liberty, thus nobly preserved, began to be felt, pro duced those imperishable monuments of art, of science and of literature, which have been the admiration of all succeeding generations.

(COPY.) Georgia, oct. 15th, 1822. Si ft; —The present aspect of poli tics in Georgia, presents, in a strong point of view, the necessity, of com mencing the work of refoimation in , our State, in every possible depart ment, as soon as possible. Should the late outrage upon the constitution and powers of the General Assembly, manifested in the forcible removal of Col. Hammond from office, be; deem ed matter of sufficient consequence to induce proceedings, the end of which would, be an expression of Lceisla live opinion upon that subject (whe ther hy impeachment or otherwise,) it will he a matter of great conse quence that there should be a change in the late presiding officers of the two Houses. Should impeachment he the mode adopted, (and I know of no case under the Constitution which can call more imperiously for that measure) there would he great pro priety in placing in the chair of the Senate, such a legal character as Judge Berrien. If this cannot be effected, because it may be feared he has not sufficient acquaintance among the members to insure his election, 1 would respectfully recommend the election of Thomas Stocks or Peter Crawford, Esqrs. according as the success of either of those gentlemen might appear most probable. In the House of Representatives, the change is more strongly recoin mended, than in the Senate, There proceedings of any kind will, in all human probability, be commenced— and it is matter ofapparoat propriety, that tlie Speaker should be such a character, and entertaining such poli tical opinions, as might ensure the appointment of a committee who would lie industrious, intelligent, independent, and honorable in in stituting and pursuing the inves tigation.—The only person at this 1 time, presents himself to my mind is, 1 Gen. Allen Daniel, of Madison coun-j ty. As an old member of the Legis-j lattice, he stands strongly recom-j mended by many other considera-l lions, such,as his perfect knowledge! ot Parliamentary rules, his general dignified conduct in the House, his I uniform independence of character, and regard for decorum—and his re publican principles and attachments to the principles of the constitution. I lie writer ot this letter would have bad it published, but that he fears its publication might defeat the object in view. From the manner in which it is conveyed to you, it will at once strike you, that he wishes it tobc con sidered as confidential. —and here-, spertfully requests that it may be! confined to your knowledge, until the | meeting of the Legislature, Then' you are relieved from further silence 1 on the subject. Should your opinions coincide with mine, the necessity of an early atten dance at the seat of government will be obvious. SOCRRTES.

If this lie the result f of the midnight conferences at Co- 1 kimbia, well has that Giant at in-!

Be this as it may, I would respectfully ask it it be not a duty which you owe to yourselves to resist the foul attempt to dictate to your representatives, by demanding through them the real name ot that man who under the mask of religion and morality, dare approach those to whom vou have confided the desti nies of die State with a digested plan for the distraction of three old, and faithful and distinguished offiders of Government. CATO. For the Chronicle and Advertiser. REMARKS On a proposal for the establishment of a MEDICAL. COLLEGE, ill the State of Georgia. .MR. EDITOR, Many appear willing to confine the triumphs of genius, and the pro gress of science to tin I ' temperate re gions. of the earth, and to imagine that the mind is governed by die same power which brings fruits and dow ers to perfection. They suppose that the intellectual energies become torpid amid polar frosts, or evaporate under the fervor of equinoctial heats; that the country which gives greatest vigor to the body is best adapted to mental acquisitions, and that we can not expect to find irradiations of knowledge in the unfavored climates of die world. These deceitful specu lations have often passed across the fancy of the visionary philospher, and like delightful dreams, have contri buted to beguile the tediousness of the journey of life. But success has long since fixed our attention upon exertions of intellect, on the rocks of Norway and the sands of Angola.— We observe human industry subdu ing those obstacles which have been opposed by nature, and the hardships incident to humanity removed by ob stinate perseverance. Deserts have been fertilized by art—mountains have sunk before the operations of human labor, and with such exhile rating examples of victorious dili gence, we cannot despair of behold ing a Medical College rise in the woods of Georgia. We have riches, talent and popu lation ; a spirit of enterprise, and a love of glory. With these advan tages our hopes must be sanguine; and our aspirations after literary ex cellence must make the laurels trem ble on those brovVs which have been accustomed to such distinguished or naments. Nature has placed no prohibition against the attainment of medical learning in this State. Public money should he expended on institutions of public utility, and the Legislators of the land cannot he more generously engaged, than in bestowing a portion of the wealth of the treasury for the establishment of a seminary, hy which the diseases of our bodies may lie re lieved or eradicated. This would prevent the external expenditure of that money of which the circulation would be more profit able to the community in which it had been accumulated. We lose a great deal by the annual emigration of our citizens in search of professi onal knowledge, and the inconveni ences of this loss would be remedied hy prudential economy—hy the bene volence of the Legislature. The guardians of the State ought to look to its welfare, and allow no opportunity of improvement to pass unregarded. No patriot could wil lingly restrict us to our present pro gress in civilization ; wo can be more ! refined and enlighted, and every lover of his country must tool a supreme satisfaction in its advance to perfec tion. The Southern constitution suf fers much from the severities of a Northern winter—it necessarily en dures many disagreeable shocks, and not (infrequently returns home almost unfitted to dwell in the spot of its nativity. If we always yield to the authority of prejudiced opinion, we will re main stationary. It was only by si lencing the irrational calumnies of many, that our independence was ef fected. The project for the estab lishment of a Medical College in the State of Georgia, may possibly meet with opposition ; but a serious and solemn exam : nation of its merits should patronize its erection. LECTOR. The following is an extract of a letter, received hy one of our friends, from an acquaintance in the country, dur ing the last summer, and for some of the oddities displayed hy the wriler, wo have requested it for publication. I was last week at the new, and I celebrated, city of- , the grand so- j cus of tlie local concerns of the coun- 1 ty of . ihe distance from here is about 45 miles. J drove up in the gig over as rough a road, as the most hypocondrioal■devil could wish, and had many “ hair breadtli ’scapes, not! by “ flood or fields,” but by a curs’d j ricketty, narrow, stumpy, up and i down-bill it.ad. In the first place j my horse was near running away, be- 1 lug scared by a large brandy hogs-1 head hoop, getting fast to one of the wheels, and making its revolutions with the same velocity, came round “ snake-poling” the horse, at every turn, and of course the faster he went, the more ho was polled. Now, al though I may, some time or other . come to an end, by a hoop , or loop, i —yet ’twould be pity so great a small » man as myself should be hook’d out • «of the world in any such manner, — i and that too in such an obscure place 11 —with nobody by, to tell the world flinan obituary, with what patience and Christian resignation, 1 bit the clay. Travelling onward some few miles further, Jupiter met me, in a 1 tremendous passion, with both hands aim’d by thunderbolts, the which, he f was flirting about in every direction, ' | pay in:: no respect to trees or persons, i ihe old fellow sent fortli one of the ! loudest claps, just over my head, > I that 1 ever lr ard, and which had a ■ 1 second timt like to have clapp’d, the . j seal upon my destiny. I assure yon ; ! never was as much frightened in • I my life, and the horse, being more so, . commenced pitch'mgand floundering, : notwithstanding which, I kept my : seat and held sturdily on to the lines, : unt'd he became pacified ; and it was : only then I discovered that had been so much alarmed j i perhaps, howe i ver, the glare oflighfnhig might have . affected me,) my nerves were not in a f tremor, bnt I felt that my cheeks i were blanch’d, if indeed they ever . could boast a color, and my heart . palpitated not violently, but alann -1 ingly and painfully. There is no honor to be gained in f braving the Thunderer; and I think , had that renowned hero, and fonni ( dable Greek Achilles, been in such a f storm lie would, at least, have felt, . his danger, notwithstanding, Ins sup . posed invincibility ; —by the bye, I , have just thought of the derivation of ; his name, it was “ currently re . ported and generally believed” that . he held a “ charmed life,” he escap’d j so generally, and his wounds, if he ' got any, heal’d so fast ; —beside it . was not at first known that even a . wound in his heel would not heal. . Now all these things, combined with > his soldier like appearance, had such an effect upon the poor deluded Tro gans; that whenever any of them , met him, they at once prostrated . themselves and exclaim’d Ah ! Kill ■ us!!

Travelling in what is 1 termed style in this part of the coun i try, and looking tolerably decent; . ( as dress you know in these days, is more likely to display the gentlemen than address,) I was immediately ushered into the best parlour ; which by the bye, answered all purposes— . dressing-room—dining-room—draw ing-room—kitchen, and bed-chaim , her. I found that the washing-house, which to me is often a pest, was here not necessary, the elements doing that duty to the hearts’ content of the inmates, {'here were five or six strap -, ping fellows, in this aforesaid parlor, amusing themselves by quaffing new brandy, from a quart pot —about a j dozen of different species of melons spread over the floor in halves and quarters, of which, each having his patent spring-back Spanish knife in Jiand, they were partaking as the best means to qualf the alcahol thinking I suppose, that it was absurd to be filling themselves with large draughts of water for the sake of a little brandy. A tolerable pretty wench was standing drying— her petticoats, before a roaring fire. It still rained very hard, and the folk when 1 entered, where in serious de bate; die subject, whether the afore said maiden should tarry all night, or proceed to her home, with her bro ther thro’ the storm.
