The flat tering notices of by the Northern press, had raised our expe Rations high ; but, tiuly, they are more than rea„:zcd. Part I. is a beautiful quarte, containing, <?ilhia a printed cover of ex ceeding neatness, taree of the most exquisitely finished engravings je have ever seen. These aje the State House, the|tock Mountain, and the Ogle thorpe University. *rhe first of these is a vignette on the title page, afnaster-piece of engraving.— The Rock Mountairlis a picture that will not only bear, but repay examnation. It presents a view of that stupendous scste from the Western base of the Mountain, and isis charming beyond our pow ers of description, ffbe third plate, a perfect gem i of art, is the main e|ifice of Oglethorpe University, i The finish of these plates strike us as being sur passingly fine. i This part containli, moreover, tbc Editor’s Intro duction, which we Miall probably give to our read ers entire ; a descriptive sketch of Rock Mountain, also by the Editor, dnd an historical notice of Ogle thorpe University, hy Professor Talmage. “Os the mechanical execution of the work we cannot speak too highly,” *,ays a distinguished Northern Editor; and we he;jtily coincide with him. It is, indeed, “ beautiful The letter-press actually delights th« eye with its neatness, and the paper almost rivals n whiteness the snow-flake- We cannot imagincli work of more beautiful finish. We hail the appearince of this work as an indica tion of an increasiil; literary taste among our peo ple. Georgia will ?bon assume her proper position in the world of literature and art, and we reieice in the prospect, 'll is work will bring the hitherto hidden gems of Georgia scenery to the public Uye, and gather upon them. It will call the j teurist and the pi j>sure-seeker into our borders, and induce Georgians to spend their summers amid the profuse beautie their own State, rather than wander hundreds miles to gaze on scenes of less beauty, bet of fame. The Northern pr, is says that “ Georgians should be proud of the and foster it with gen erous zeal. ’ We feel assured that Georgians trill be proud of it, and ihzt it will find it? way to their dwellings from on«| end of the State to the other.

Three days later From England. The ship Gaston, Stimson, arrived at this port last evening from Liverpool, having sailed on the 12th ult. By the politeness of a passenger, we have been favoured with the perusal of the Liver pool Courier o f the 11th ult. containing dates j| two days later than those received by the packet ship Columbus at New-Y'ork, and four days la ter than by the Great Western. The packet ship Garrick, arrived at Liverpool on the 11th ult. in sixteen daysf rom New-York. The commercial dates are to the 10th, but we are informed by a passenger, that on the 11 th. the sales of Cotton were about 2500 bales, with out change of price. intelligence from the East is highly satis factory. The war in Syria has been pushed for ward with activity. It is estimated that in all tne engagements which have taken place, the Egyp tian army hss lost 20,000 men in killed, woun ded, prisoners and deserters. The Turks in the allied army have proved themselves brave and de voted troops —and equal to any thing when com manded by European officers. The correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, says: Com. Napier, in the Powerful, with the steam ers Gorgon and Cyclops, have quitted Djoun ! Aay to attack Tripoli. By the taking of Beyrout, about 20 pieces of artillery, with ammunition and provisions, have fallen into the possession of the Allied Powers. Reports of deserters from the fortress of Acre announce the impossibility of its being able to hold out, in consequence of the continual deser tions, and of its present enfeebled state. Capt. Berkeley, of the Thunderer, commands at Sidom, which is so well fortified as to defy the attacks of fifteen thousand men. The Archduke Frede rick is also there. Thejattack and carrying of Sidon by storm was a brilliant affair. The beseiging parly had to jump from the boats into the water waist deep, and then to ascend scaling ladders unuer a tremen dous fire. The Turkish Governor of Sidon was killed, having previously cut down two of his own men who attempted to hoist a white flag. The power of Mehemet Ali in Syria is virtually annihilated, never in all probability to be exerci sed again by him or his successors. CHINA. We shall very soon hear of some overt act in this quarter of the world. The progress of the British arms seems to have been very grand hi:herlo. The papers so far are filled with spec ulations. The Post says—The forts at the Hocca Tigris were covered with guns. There were perhaps 140 or 160, but very few of them would traverse, and the attacking ships could so place them selves that hardly one would bear upon them. In the event of an attack the havoc made among the Chinese'would, it was considered, te tremen dous. It was known that drilling was going on up at Canton night and day, the arms employed being .bows, arrows, and semilunar pikes. Lin was quite indefatigaule in his preparations since it was ascertained that fighting was actually in j tended. The Chinese were, however, in great ! terror at the report of fire-arms. In exemplifica i lion of this it was observed— | “Only a month or two since, when the little Hyacinth sloop-of-war hauled into the harbour of Macao, just to show what she could do, where it was crowded with war junks full of soldiers, eve ry one of them made his escape to the shore, mandarins and all. They took off their red jack ets, (for they wear scarlet like the English sol diers,) and put them into their capacious bree ches, throwing down their comical caps, and , stamping upon them in their fury.” A correspondent of the Bulletin announces the capture of Tobasco by the Federal forces.— As the oltier parts of that State were already in dependent of the Centralist government of Mex ico, the emancipation of the chief city complete ly annuls Bustamente’s power in that quarter. We trust General Anaya will manage better than the Federal leaders on the Texian frontier. It will not surprise us in the least, however, to hear of John Bull’s interference in the Government of Yucatan and Tobasco. He has something in view, or he would not reinforce his garrisons in the Bay of Honduras, and give a very heavy bouniy to induce a company at home to csta -1 blish a line of steam ships between England and ’ the ports in the "West Indies, and the Gulf of Mexico. 'The distress which occasionally visits ! her working men and manufacturers, has not de terred England trom greater undertakings than such a conqu°st would be likely to prove. A less expedition than that sent against China would suffice to give the British the control of Central America and Yucatan, while her Indian sypois would have nothing to fear from change of cli mate. —New Orleans Courier. Martin Van Buren was one of the chief ad j vocates of what South Carolina calls “ the bloody bill.” John Tyler was the only man in the Se j nate, who, late at night, recorded his volt against i that bill. Nevertheless, South Carolina votes i for Van Buren, and rejects John Tyler. How j fallen and degraded is the spirit of “ the chivalry j State,” since she raised the dish-cloth banner to the top of her palmetto flag-staff.— Prentice. The New Cabinet.—Until something defi nite as to the intentions of the President elect was known upon this subject, we considered the business of cubient-making about the poorest in which an editor could engage. We are now prepared to speag, because we have authentic in formation.

The following beautiful admonition to the gentler sex, we clip from the Philadelphia North American: “ A summer bird that has lingered late into the autumn, leaving its timid foot print in the first fall of snow, ever reminds us of that deli cate fair one, in light thin slippers, on an icy pavement. The bird, however, can escape to a warmer clime, and in the spring it can re-appear; but the lady is on that journey from which there is no return. The music of the bird may again gladden its native tree; but her voice will not again cheer the hearth of her home. The badges of sorrow and the slow r returning hearse, will soon tell what that slipper has done. It has taken from us in the bloom of life one that we loved, but who would not listen to the voice of bright days are now passed; the light of her countenance has fled, and the night of the grave curtains the deep couch of her repose. But a voice speaks tenderly from that grave to those whom she has left behind; it whispers the admonition which she has disregard ed. Shall that whisper not bt heard ? It is a sister’s voice that pleads.” General Harrison, we understand, is expected to leave heme for Virginia the latter part of this month. He will spend the month of January with his friends in the Old Dominion, and repair to Washington in February, to be ready on the 4th of March to enter upon the duties of the im portant office to which the People have elevated him.— Maysvil/e Eagle.

We arenndebted to a passenger by the cars last evening for a copy of the New York Amer ican of the 18th, from which w’e extract the fol lowing items of news, brought by the Sheridan. The dates are from Paris of 1 Ith, London and Liverpool of the 14th. The important matter is, that the King of the French is sustained in his pacific policy by the Chambers, whilst the operations against the Egyptian Mehemet seem every where successful. Acre, the last post, being on the point of sur rendering. No disturbance followed the progress or speech of the King of the French, on meeting at Cham bers. I The news is decidedly in favor of continued peace. The Chamber of Deputies have elected all the ministerial candidates, for Presidency and Vice Presidency, by large majorities. The candidates put forward and the number of votes stood as follows: M. Sauzet, 220 M. Odillon Barrot 1.54 M. Thiers, 4 The result is considered jto indicate that the Chamber will support the ministry in a peaceful policy. The seizure of the National on the Bth, on ac count of its article on’the army under, the late ministry, in which it attacked with great violence the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours, charging them with having been the cause of disasters in Africa. From India the intelligence is disastrous and gloomy in the extreme and the miserable results of the premature withdrawal of the troops from •Scindeand Afghanistan, are now being reaped. Accounts have been received of the loss of a greater number of officers and men than during the whole Caboul campaign. Five officers and 200 men were killed, and all baggage, consisting of upwards of 1,000 camels laden with supplies, horses, ammunition, and 40 to 50,000 rupees in cash, fell a prey to the Belooches. Such, says our correspondent, is the effect of the premature withdrawal ol our troops from the country ; such the result predicted by the Duke of Wellington 18 months ago, of the foolish attempt to conduct extensive warlike ope rations on a peace establishment. Vigorous ef forts were making at Bombay to retrieve the dis asters brought about entirely by Lord Aukland’s penny-wise and pound-foolish measures. Scinde asb Belociustan —The intelligence from the North West by the present mail, is of a most gloomy and disastrous character. Within the last two months, the British arms have sus tained more reverses and a greater number of offi cers and men have been sacrificed, than during the whole of the late campaign. Quetta, De dur, Kalmur, and other ports, are in imminent danger. Kelat has been taken. London, Nov. 11. The news received to-day from India and China, was not regarded by the commercial class es as satisfactory, anu has caused an advance of 2d. per lb. on Teas. So far from any retrograde in the funds having taken place, the quotations tended rather the contrary way. The old and respectable house of H. & J. Johnston & Co. of London, had failed in conse quence of the dishonesty of a person with whom they were connected in business. Liverpool, Nov. 13. The demand for Cotton continues only mode rate, and the market, though without our being able to reduce our quotations, presents a languid appearance. Speculators have taken 750 bales of American ; the remainder of the transactions are to the trade, who seem disinclined to pur chase more than their immediate wants require. The public sale of Sea Island to-day, (declared only in Tuesday last,) went off on the whole as well as was expected,—thevmiddle and common qualities selling at the current rates by private contract, and the fine marks rather lower. 640 white were offered and 260 bags were sold at 144 to 18J, and 80 stained do. offered, 30 sold at to 104- The sales to-day, are about 3500 bags, all kinds. The import this week is 26,803 bags, 1 and the sales are 21,840, viz; 480 Sea Island 134 a 25, 50 stained do. 6J a 104 ; 4500 Uplands 5? e Gs ; 6880 N Orleans 5 a 7|; 5550 Alabama, &c. sa6§ ; 480 Pernam buco 8f a Bj} ; 280 Bahia Maceio 8g a 8£; 550 | Maranharn 7 a 84. Havre, Nov. 7. Dullness continues to reign throughout our market here. We have had no arrivals. Colton has rather declined in price. 2485 bales have been sold—enough to enable the manufacturers to keep going. I hope to give you a better ac count next week. Maternal Influence. —Timothy Dwight and Aaron Burr were firstcousins. Their moth ers were daughters of the elder Jonathan Ed wards. Both these mothers were devoted Chris tians, and both consecrated their infant sons to God on the altar of prayer. The mother ot the former lived to train him up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and to witness and en joy the blessed fruits of her extraordinary faith fulness to his best interest. The mother of the latter, f together with his excellent father,) died in his early childhood, after having experienced and communicated by letter to her father, very re markable spiritual exercises in behalf of the soul of her promising son—the recorded pledge of ? what she would have been to him, had her holy life been prolonged. Thus early bereft of paren tal axamplc. protection and instruction, Aaron Burr, with capacities not inferior to those ot Tim othy Dwight, pursued a course which has made his name a terrific beacon, both in the domestic circle and in the political world; while Dr. Dwight became eminently successful in extending the bounds of learning and religion while he lived, and left behind him a noble monument of piety and genius in his written works. Who can say but that if Mrs. Burr had lived to watch over and pray with her son, these highly gifted youths might have pursued the same narrow path so that they might have been eqally useful on the earth, and equally welcome in the Heavens. Mothers! though your childien may not pos sess mental endowments of so high an order, with which to bless or curse mankind, honor or offend God, elevate or degrade themselves, yet they do possess souls as precious, for the salvation the same blood has shed ; and while your lives have been spared they azp as much depen dant upon you for their guidance aright, and you are as deeply responsible to God as were these mothers, for the manners in which you discharge the sacred trust.

A Strong Bank.—An investigation into the .. affairs of the Wolfborough (N. H.) Bank, shows a deposite of $lO in specie, and about S4O in the bills of other banks, to redeem ft circulation of $30,70$ with. A Renowned Quack. — About fiveoi six years ago there became known to fame, in the Shan-, dean construction of celebrity—i. e. within a cir cle somewhat beyond sight of the smoke of one’s house—one Vincent Priessnilz, and illiterate far mer in the Province of Moravia in Germany, who having invented a remedy for disease, which proved successful, accidentally or otherwise, in some peculiar cases, was noised about as the dis coverer of the long remedy. Bv degress, however, his celebrity has exceeded the Shandean limits, until at this time he is known over a great part of the continent and in Great Britain. Hundreds flock to him, among whom are said to he not a few of the nobility. His remedy is cold-water and nothing else—this ta ken inwardly and applied externally ? hut always cold. He continues to reside at his little farm, and observes the same simple customs he preser ved when unknown. The great and the proud submit to them—lured by the charm of supersti tion, and the glimmering hope of health, the rich man’s bliss the poor man’s riches, they yield up their luxuries and tneir splendour, and resign themselves to the 'rigid simplicity of the Quack physician. The following short description of Priessnits’s mode of treatment ot disease is a trans lation from a German paper : Dr Vinzentz Phiessnitz. —This new cele brated physician last summer again performed great and astounding cures. His fame has al ready extended to America. But a few years ago he was denominated an eccentric quack. A large cumber of patients visit him every year, among which are many of the nobility of Europe. He resides near the town of Grafenburg in Ger many, in a mountainous but very healthy spot. His method is different from that of any other physician. He uses no medicine except cold wa ter. and he generallycures his patient in three days but in no instance is more than six days requisite. As soon as the symptoms of an inflammatory dis ease appear the Doctor takes a linen sheet, wets it in cold water and after wringing it effecually, he spreads over it a very thick blanket on a bed. He then undresses the patient with great des patch aad|lays him on the wet sheet in bed, wraps this and the blanket very tightly around him, and covers him with several feather beds. If the pa tient is articled with a disease of the brain or oth er disease which occasions fever in the head, he applies also a wet linen sheet to it, but much thicker than the other, and wraps it several times around the head, particularly around the forehead and temples, and covers it with a blanket. For an inrtamation of the throat, he applies the same about the neck. These applications are repeated every 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes, according to the proportion of the fever. The patient after being ten minutes in this situation, becomes warm throughout the system. In some cases where the head is much affected, he applies one or two buckets of cold water to the back part of the head und neck, every time he repeats the application of the wet sheet. These frequent coolings lessen the fever, and generally in two hours it is entire ly conquered. When this is accomplished the patient remains in bed with the wet sheet around him, more covering is applied over the body ex cept the head, which is kept as cold as possible. In the course of an hour or an hour and a half, the patient becomes heated, and soon after a per spiration follows, which however does not affect the lungs. The pa.ient is now allowed to drink —but only cold water, the windows of the room are thrown open to admit the fresh air even in win ter, which pierces through the room, increases the perspiration. After remaining in this heated con dition from two to three hours, he is immediately placed into a bathing tub situated near the bed filled with cold water, where he remains five minutes during which his whole strength will admit. After the bath he is rubbed perfectly dry, is again dre sed and takes some exercise in the room. This method is repeated as often as the symp toms of a fever appear and from three to six re petitions the uisease is cured. The recover}’ fol lows in a few days, and the patient may then pur sue his avocation without feeling any loss ot strength. All kinds of medicine, says Dr. Pries nitz, are unnessary, nay, highly dangerous. Ail spices, as well as coffee, tea, wine. &c. are pro hibited, and water, cold water only is recommen ded, and to be used very copiouly. From the New Orleans Picayune. Uncle Ike’s Poncy. Os all the tarnation creeturs that ever cum in to this world jest for a plague, our Uncle Ike’s poney was a ieetlc o’the outdashest I—Sitch a haw-hawin’ as Jim Gorkins’ boys used to set up, when Uncle Ike tried to turn him round their corner, so as to get him down the lane, was a caution to ski eech-owls. Oi l Marlue J inkins said that it put her in mind of one Mister Span ler that she’d hern tell on, that had his boss’s tail tore rite smack out on account of his bein’ too obstroperlous; but Uncle Ike alwus reckoned that his boss couldn’t be cured without it was driv in. Uncle Ike never could, some how or nother, git fairly mounted, but the sar pent would back rite agin the fence, and rare up like a hay-stack. “You darned everlastin cree tur,” says Unde Ike, “ why on airth can’t you go ahead jest as easy as logo agin that are tenceV And then Uncle Ike would git off' and give him a pooty considerable smart hidin’, but he wouldn’t dars too git on him agin, cos he’d run when he got licked for about half a day, jest like a mad bull arter a streak o’ lightnin', and Uncle was a letlle afeared, at sitch times, of gettin’ his head works knocked all to squash. And he was jest as ugly as sin, in harness, and Uncle Ike said, that if he warnt a family boss, a kind o’ air loom, he ’ud a got red on him long ago, cos there warnt no doin’ nothin’with him, no how. So there warnt but one feller down about our parts that could cum it over the poney, and that felle was Joe Beadle, he that used to court Jane Wig gins, and he could manage that critter jest as easy as whistlin’. Wal, it cum out one night that there was to be a dance down in the Town Hall, and Betsey Johnson, Joanny Rogers, Ke- Taylor and a hull bilin’ o’gals, allowed that they had detarmined to go. So they raked and scraped about to git fellers, and Keziah she pitch ed upon Joe, cos she wanted to rile Jane Wig gins, for tellin’ ; Aunt Sukey that she (Keziah) had to borry a pair of stockins to go to George Ri ley’s weddin’ in. Wal, Joe agreed to hitch on, cos he sort o’ kalkilated that Jane would git that town fellow Dick Wilson, that sol in the Dea con’s pew the Sunday afore, to go along o’ her, and he wanted to know for sartain sure.—So there was all-fired prime stayin’ and Joe went down to Keziah's and tackled up their spankin’ Bill, and got in and sot off. Dick stood out for the poney, and Jane jined it with him, tho’Un cle was dreadful onwillin’, but as there was two agin one, he at last gin in, howsoindever he told ’em aforehand, that he shouldn’t a mite wonder if they both cum hum missin’. So they rigged out and went oft’ pooty named fierce,slicked rite stret past Bets Johnson’s team and beat Joe Bea dle all to nothin’. Lor ? Golly! didn’t Jane puss up and look as big as ail out doors when they rid past Keziah, and didn't Keziah look rite stret ahead, jest as tho’ there warn’t nothin' happenin’. They went on at a pooty smart jog, ’till they cum up to Squire Collins’ mills, and there was an old trunk, that laid kind o’ slantcndiklar along the road. At sight o’ that the poney skeered and hauled stret up. “ Hullo, you var mint git up !” says Dick—“darn ye if ye don’t I’ll wollopye;” and he did wollop him, first right and then left, then both hands, ’till he got reg’- !arly tuckered out, and all of a steam o’ sweat, and then ian-3 she tuck the whip and laid it on to the critter like Thanjksgivin’ into punkin pies; jest then along cums Keziah and Bets and all hands, and sitch a time as they had was a war nip’ to ttrangers. Joe Beadle undertook to cut round Dirk’s team liansum, but the old creetur sheered ofl', upsol the slay, and out went Joe and Keziah chewallop into the snow bank. Bets Johnson’s slay got into the same rut, and they went out head over heels alongside. Theponey started to run off, knocked over Dick Wilson, and tore one leg of his trowserloons clean off, cotched the slay up agin a pile o’ plank, knock ed it into a cocked hat, and tore for hum like all natur. As for Dick, he heard one of the boys hint that his trowserloons was made for gome boddy with one leg, so he picked himself up and scattered arter the poney. Keziah’s bonnet got smashed into a picker o’ misery, and she lost one shoe into the bargain, but at last they all got stowed away agin, and Jane got into Bets John son’s slay, and off they went to the ball; but the hull story had got there afore ’em, and when they got in there was a general snickerin’, ’till byme by one long nose feller at the lop of the ball, haw-hawed rite out, ond then so on one ar ler another chock down the room. I vow but didn’t we have a prime time that night—the gals warn’t none o’ the ugliest, and jest before breakin’ up lime, the fellers got the fiddler drunk, and put out all the lights, and sitch a scratchin’ for cloaks and bonnets, and sitch a hugging and kissing, and screamin’, and gittin hum thro’the snow banks, warn’t no laughin’ matter for hye nas. Jane Wiggins never arter trusted the po ney without Joe Beadle, and the gals gincrallv allowed, that there wouldn’t a been hall the sport, only for that surpent— Uncle Ike's Poney. From the Louisville Journal. We are glad to welcome the bright and gifted V tola once more to our columns. The, following is certainly among the sweetest of her many de lightful favors. It is an address written for tiie young ladies of Airs. M’Kee’s Female Seminary, at South Hanover, la., who completed their course ol studies last session; and is published at their request .- Go lorth—the world is very wide, And many paths before ye lie, Devious, and dang’rous, and untried ; Go forth with wary eye ! Go ! with the heart by grief unbowed I Go! ere a shadow or a cloud Hath dimm’d the laughing sky! But, lest your wandering footsteps stray. Choose ye the straight, the narrow way. Go forth —the wcrld is very fair, Through the dim distance as ye gaze, And mark, in long perspective, there, The scenes of coming days. Orbs of bright radience gem the sky. And fields of glorious beauty lie Beneath their orient rays ; Yet, ere their altered light grow dim, Seek ye the Star of Bethlehem ! Go forth—within your distant homes There are fond hearts that mourn your stay ; There are sweet voices bid ye come; Go —ye must hence—away ! No more within the woodland bowers \cnir hands may wreathe the summer flow ers, No more your footsteps stray ; To hall and hearth, to grove and glen, Oh when will ye return again ! Not when the summer leaves shall fade. As now they fade from shrub and tree. When autumn winds, thro’ grove and glade, Make mournful melody; The long, bright, silent, autumn days. The sunset, with it« glorious blaze, These shall return—but ye Tho’ time may all beside restore, Ye may come back to us no more. Go—ye have dreamed a fairy dream, Os cloudless skies and fadeless flowers, Os days, whose sunny lapse shall seem A fete ’mid festal bowers ! But of the change, the fear, the strife. The gathering clouds, the storms of life, The blight of autumn showers. Ye have no vision—these must be Unveiled by stern reality ! Ye must wake (for time and care Have ever wandered side by side,) To find earth false, as well as fair. And weary too, as wide. Ye yet must wake, to find the glow Hath faded from the things below.

Jf.sts of Domitian.—Like Nero, whom he resembled in some points, Domihan was capri cious in his cruelty. When at the shows which followed the triumphs, a tempest of lain came on he would not allow any one to quit the place and seek shelttr. He himself also remained ; but he had several cloaks, and changed them as they be- | became wet. Many of the spectators died in con sequence of colds and frvers. To console them, he invited thejp public supper, which lasted all through the He gave the Senate and Knights also a curious supper, at the same lime. The room in which he received them was made perfectly black ; the seats were black ; by each stood a pillar with the name of the guest on it, and a sepulchral lamp ; naked slaves blackened to resemble spectres, came and danced a horrid measure around them, and then each seated him self at the feet of a guest; the funeral meals were then brought in black vessels. All sat quaking in silence ; Domilian alone spoke, and his dis course was ol death. At length hedismissed them; but at the porch, instead of their own attendants, they found strange ones, with chairs and sedans to convey them to their homes. When they were at home and began to respire freely, word came to each that one was come from the Emperor ; terror returned, but it was agreeably dispelled by finding that the pillar which was silver, the sup per utensils of valuable materials and the slavewho had played tiie ghost, weie arrived presents from the palace.— Keighiley’s Roman Empire. We Like Spunk. —The editor of the Fay ette (MissO Advertiser, a Van Buren man, thinks it is had enough to be beat, without being com pelled to publish the election returns. He says he will see Harrison and every body else in Gui nea before he will do it, and then he won’t. Hear him: “What! must vie strip bare our backs, and permit the whigs to clap their hands at the sight of every bruise?
