There was a great rest of tho gentlemen of that neiglibothooj and their families, and a plentiful dinner provided for the colony, and ull that came, by .Mr. Ogle thorpe, being four fat hogs, eight turkeys, be sides fowls, English beef, and other provis ions; a hogshead of punch, a hogshead of beer, and a large quantity of wine; nnd till wus disposed in so regular a manner, that no per son was drunk, nor any disorder happened. On the HOlh, the Colony embarked on board a sloop of seventy tons, nnd tivo pcriuugcrs, and made sail, hnt were forced bv a storm to pul in a place called the l.ook-Out, and to lay there ull night. The next day they arrived at John’s, where they round huts capable to conluin them all, and it plentiful supper of venison.

The writer reports himself to liavo visited Valley River, in search of gold, where from reports which lie had heard, lie felt disposed to visit some cortam location upon the north .side of this river, in which those appearances ore rnet. The ridge in which they appear, is covered with Indian tumuli, the skeletons •nly partially conccnlcd by loose rocks from the eye. In the immediate m ighhorhond,large bodies of curt It have been thrown, evidently, says our visitor, for the purposes of mining, and ill search of some metal, lit supputt of • his, n well of antique construction makes its appearance near thirty Icet in depth—hern too through tho ridge ur hill, runs a canal, six or eight feet deep, about ten wide, utd thirty vurds long. Two or three hundred yards dis tunt and the mining evidences, broken by the numerous t mult, re appear. Here we have a pit of considerable depth; calculated to men sure 30 feet in diameter. The earth is thrown up around it, in such a manner und quantity, as proves it to havo been tho result of human labor. At a little distance, tho remnins of a furnace ore found, convenient to a small foun tain ul the head of n rnvino; nnd supposed to havo been erected for the purpose of separat ing the gold or silver or less valuable metals Irout Iho rocks. Tltoso works are all antique in their nppearunec, and resemble nothing of their supposed nature, employed in modern times. 'Flic mid,tinn of tho natives uniformly agree, that about one hundred yenrs ago. n company of white people came over the great waters in pursuit of gold and silver ; and that they spent several months nt the above named places.’ An old Indian who resided'within a low miles of the place, says that he is one hundred yours old; nnd that whon he was a very little hov, it large company of white men manufactured lead and gave to the inhabitants.

The colours of our existence were doomed before our birth—our sorrows and our crimes ; millions of ages hack, when this henry earth was peopled by other kinds, yea! ere ils atoms had formed one layer of its present soil, the cteinal and the nll-seoing Ruler ol iho universe, had hero lived the moment of our birth and the limits of our career. “ It is a hard life wo bookmen lend. Our enjoyments nro few and calm ; our labour constant. Wo grow old before our time ; wo wither up ; the sap of youth shrinks from our veins; there is mi bound in our step ; itis’n bitter life—a bitter life—a joyless life.

There is a curtain charm about greut supe riority of intellect, that winds into deep affec tions, which a much more constant and oven amiability of manners in lesser men,often fails to reach. A Socrates may claim it to-day—a Napo leon to-morrow ; nav, a brigand chief, illus trious in the circle in which he lives, may cull it forth no less powerfully than the generous failings of u Byron, or the sublime excellence of the greater Milton.

As it was, Tom was sadly addicted to the bottle, and was six days in the week most gloriously drunk by the timo he had dined, so that he was unfit for business till the next morning. Tom was well aware of his infirmi ty, and would never suffer himself to make e. bargain, while in his cups. One afternoon, a stranger called upon Tom for tho purpose of purchasing a fine horse, of which ho was tho owner. The gentleman in troduced himself as Mr. Jcremtah Johnson, and announced his business. “ Mr. Jeremiah Johnson,” said Tom loek- ing him full in the faco, “ you have a notion after my hor-hor horse, have you “ I havo,” replied Johnson. “ You are perfectly responsible, Mr. John son, nro you I” 11 I am.” “ And cun pay a pret-pretty good round pri- prico I” “ I can.” “ Well, Mr. Jeremiah Johnson, if you will call to-morrow morning at nino o’clock, I’ll tell you what I’ll toko for him,—I am too— too drunk this afternoon to make a bargain.- A", Y- Cons. A Matrimonial Tale.—A fiddler and his wife, who rubbed through life ns most couples usually do—somolimas good friends, at other times not quite so well—happoned one duy to havo a dispute, which was conducted with be coming spirit on both sides. The wife was sure to be right, and the husband was resolved to havo his own way. What was to be done in such a case l The quarrel grew worse bv their explanations, and at last their fury rnsc *.o such a pitch, that each made a vow never to sleep in the samo bed with the other for tho future. This was the most rash vow that could he imagined ; for they were siill friends, nt bottom, and besides, they had hut one bed in the house. However, resolved they wero to go through with it, and as thoy had not se parate hods, at night the fiddle caso was laid between them; in order to make a separation. In this manner thoy continued three weeks- ■ every night Ihe fiddle case being placed ns t. harrier to separate them. By this time, how ever, each repented of their voty—their re sentment was at a:t end, and their love began to return. They both wished tho fiddlu case away, but eqclt had too much spirit to sumbit. Ono night, however, as they were built lying awake, with the detested fiddle case between thorn, tho huahund happened to sneeze. To this the wife, us usual in such cases, hid, Dear bless hint!—Aye, but, replies tho husband, “ do you say that from your heart, Jenny 1” “ Indeed I do, my love, Nicholas.” “ If so,” said tho husband, “ I fancy wo might as well remove the liddlo case.” Brunswick Jelly Cetkc.—Stir together.
