they knew that at the sales in Alabama th
money ot those two states had been prefer
red. It certainly was incumbent upon th
Government to give a public notice for
reasonable time before the sales—of the kin
ot money which might be offered, as well a>
of that which the Receiver was not authoris

Athens, June 22, jj
The final examination of the Senior Class]
has closed, and we understand that it was!
attended by a greater number of the Trus
tees than usual, among whom was our dis
tinguished fellow citizen W. H. Crawford,!
who with the rest of his collegues seemed to
take a greater interest in the subject than
is common on such occasions. We are hap
py to learn that the Class acquitted them
selves with great credit, and gave to the
Faculty and Trustees unusual satisfaction,
Tlu* number ofgr duates at commencement '
will exceed that of any preceding Class,
who have received the College honors.
We are informed that Mr. Crawford at
tend ol a large party, given by the President
of the University, to the Senior Class, at:
which, with an unusual How of spirits, he
joined in the social pleasures ot such an oc
casion, and contributed much to the general
satisfaction by his free and cheerful conver
sation.
It is a source of peculiar gratification to
wi' i ■ -s the public services of Ibis inestima
ble individual, recommencing under circum- :
stances so praiseworthy to himself, and so
■propitious to the best interest of Ids state.
The lively concern which he seemed to feel
and express for the literature of Georgia, '
must have been greatly heightened by the re
collection, that to the judicious management 1
of his own distinguished preceptor its present
flourishing condition was mainly attributa
ble, and that under his auspices, it had re
ceived a character and direction that would
be sensibly felt in all its future tendencies
however diversified or remote. [Sentinel.
Masonry —The United Stales Gazette re
marks : “ VVe have never noticed a more
general determination on the part of the Ma
sonic Fraternity of'celebrating the Festival
of St. John the Baptist, than appears at pre
sent. Almost every paper we receive, con
tains a summons for the craft. The recent]
public services of the Grand Lodge in this;
city, and the approaching imposing cere-i
monies of the Brethren at Bunker Hill, are
evidences of the increased strength and
beauty of the order ; and on examining the
report of the Grand Lodge of New-York, in
June, 18-23, we arc struck with the state
ment tliat warrants were granted for forty
four new Lodges in different parts of that
Slat;- 0 . an increase which we suppose is un-|

Another Patriot Victor//. —A letter from
Kingston, of May 11, announces the total
defeat of Olaneta by General Sucie in Pe

ing. Phis news came by a gentleman who
left Lima on the I4di of March. Callao
still held out, the Rival General Rodil
flattering himself that Omneta might *uc
l ceed. It was thought, however, that learn-
I ing his defeat, Rodil would retire on board
j the French squadron off Callao, and leave!
' the garrison to its fate. Fourteen patriot!
1 ships were blockading Calao, and had the!
I best understanding with the American and j
British squadrons.
It was reported at Pernambuco on the
18th ult. that Callao had surrendered to
Gen. Bolivar.

who were to be present at the celebration
at Bunker Hill, one of them was to wear
the coat in which he fought, there having in
it nine bullet holes.
FOR THE CONSTITUTIONALIST. 1
EMILY'S TOME.
IN the afternoon of one of those delici
us day s so common in the month of May, lj
s I was riding slowly through the roman- .
ic county ot F n, and admiring its
•eautitul scenery, I discovered not far a
icad a small cleared spot covered with rich
grass, and the ruins of a house which, from
lie style of their architecture, appeared to
uive once been the residence of wealth, j
Near the centre stood a clump of spread
ing oaks, which threw around a delightful
. ZJ 1 T 1 • "
isliade. Led by curiosity I approached, and
-aw with some surprise, a young man sit
jtingona tomb-stone beneath these trees,
j His eyes were bent upon the ground, as if
jin deep meditation, and his whole appear
ance was indicative of despair. 1 was
touched with compassion at the sight of his
'sunken eye and pallid cheek, and alight
ing from my horse, seated myself near him
[on (he tomb, and attempted to draw from
him the story of his woes, and to oiler con
solation. He refused to be comforted, but
readily related bis tale of sorrow. It was
short, and 1 shall endeavor to give it as
nearly as possible in his own words :
“ That desolate house” said he, “ which
you now see, was the favorite summer re
sidence of Col. 11 , until the death of
his wife. Immediately after this melan
choly event, he removed with his daughter, |
his only child, to a place a few miles dis- '
■tant. It was there that I first became ac- '
quainted with the lovely Emily R . She j
(was in her eighteenth year, and all that pa-l :
rent, lover, or friend could wish. The I
death of my parents, a few years before,] 1
had left my wealth and person at my own]
disposal. These I threw at her feet —hut
why recall those blisful moments—suffice '
it to say, I wooed and won. In a few
j weeks I received her hand at the altar, and
was the happiest of men. Several months
trolled over our heads, and each succeeding;
day appeared happier than the one that had
! passed. VVe were strolllingone afternoon in
I the grove surrounding our dwelling,when she
appeared suddenly 'melancholy, & said that
j her stay on earth would be but short. She ex
; pressed the wish that at her death she might |
| be buried beneath these spreading trees by
tier mothers side. Alas her presentments
were but too true. The heavens had by this
time put on a stormy appearance, and the
[rumbling of the thunder warned us to retire.
VVe returned to the house, and awaited the
coming storm. The rain came in torrents,
and the flashes of lightning were incessant.
My Emily was speaking to me in a soft
voice, when I was suddenly bereft of sense
and motion. I recovered in a few minutes,
and ran to Emily who had apparently fainted,
I raised her in my arms—Great God what
were my emotions when I found that the
spark ot life had forever fled i (here he re
mained silent a few moments in violent agi
nation when he again proceeded) she wushu-,
jried in this spot, and 1 removed to a cottage
at the foot of yon mountain now gilded by
the last rays of the evening sun. The ago
ny I then suffered has settled down into
despair. This place I visit daily, and on
her tomb pour out my unavailing prayers to
the Almighty, to take me from this world of
sorrow. My only wish is, that we may not
be parted in death, and that my body may
rest beside her’s in this retirement.”
He ceased —the sun was now setting, and
after offering what consolation was in my
power, I resumed my journey. Having oc
casion a few months afterwards to pass the
same road, I again visited this lonely place,
but the child of sorrow was not there, every
thing wore (he same appearance as before,
except that a new grave was beside Emily’s
tomb. VIATOR.

My Dear Sir —l have received your kind

tunity to perform that duly ot devotion and
gratitude.
I shall be obliged to leave you on the
