Weekly Georgia Courier.
The encouragement, which ihe Courier has receiv
ed from the Public, demands from us an effort to in
crease it* usefulness and adaptation tu the wants of its
patrons. We are now publishing it Thrice a week,
the additional cost at ourown expense; but there are
so many of its friends badly situated in relation to
the facility of receiving it by the Mails, that we intend
to issue immediately a Weekly Paper for those, who
cannot, from the cause mentioned, receive it but once
a week. This will be issued at a period in the week,
best suited to the up-country mails, and most favora
ble for the transmission oflbe earliest intelligence to
its country readers. West present think of Saturday
morning, ao as to embrace the transactions of the
whole week, with all the new Advertisements. Its
contents will be made up from the TrUwstkly paper,
and from the Doit, after October next. It will thus
contain more intelligence of every kjnd, than ony other
weekly paper in the State. In addition to the above,
we hold oursetves bound to transmit, to its Patrona,
SHpt containing all the important intelligence during
the week, by the mails first succeeding its reception.
We shall not postpone it* commencement longer than

THE FIELD OF FREEDOM.
The last published verses from the pen of Mrs. He
mans are uddressed—Too Flower brought from the Field
of Grutli—the field beside the hake of the Four Can-
tone, where tho “ Three Tells,” es the Swiss call the
fathers of their liberty, took the oath of redeeming
Switzerland from the Austrian yoke.' The line* are
annexed.
Whence art thou, flower 7-froin holy ground,
Where freedom’s foot hath been I
Ye; bugle blast or trumpet sound '
Ne’er shook tl;at solemn scene.
Flower ofa noble field! thy birth
Was not where spears have cross’d,
And shiver’d helms havo strewn the earth -
’Midst banners won and lost:
But, where the sunny hues and showers
Unto thy cup were given.
There met high hearts at midnight hours,
Pure l;ands were raised to heaven.
And vows were pledg’d that man should roam,
Through every Alpine dell,
Free as the wind, Ihe torrents’ foam,
The shaft of William Tell I
And prayer—the full deep flow of prayer,
Hallow’d the pastoral sod,
And souls grew strong for battle (here,
Nerv'd with the peace of God.
Before the Alps and start they knolt
That calm, devoted band,
And rose, and mado their spirits felt
Through all the mountain land.
Then welcome Grutli’s freeborn flower!
Even in thy pale decay,
There dwells a breath, a tone, a power,
Which all high thoughts obey.
—Q©6—
From the Boston Traveller.
THE OLD BACHELOR.
Not a laugh was there, nor a sign of a smile,
As our friend to the bridal we hurried;
We thought of the pain he would suffer the while,
For lie looked so confoundedly flurried.
We saw him stund up, and we pitied him too,
As the parson Ihe dread knot was tying;
He trembled so much, and Ins pliiz wassoblue,
That we feared the poor fellow was dying.
We escorted him home that bright aummer’s eve,
When pale from his bridal returning—
We spoke but few words, and most sorely did grieve,
A bachelor’d no more discerning.
And who would have thought that one like lo him,
So shy of tho girls had we found him.
Would ever have had his eye-sight so dim
As lo fall in the noose that hound him ?
’Twsb sad to us all as sadness could be,
That advico in vain we’d been giving,
That instead of confined, ho might have been free,
At this moment in singleness living.
W'c cheer’d the poor fellow aa well as we could,
And thought he was sorely repenting ;
But now ’twsstoo lute—he could not it lie would,
So he gave up all thought of relenting.
Wo carried him home, and we put him to rest,
And the tears fell fast as we did it;
A tear fell from him, we knew ’twas not jest.
Though he thought that his sad smile hid it.
And sadly we talked of his blessedness gone—
How each bachelor now would upbraid him ;
Ho said he cared not, so they’d let him sleep on,
’Neath the counterpane, just as they laid him.
Slowly and sadly wo all walked down
From his room in tho uppermost story;
We vowed that his case should bo never our own,
Whom we leR not alone in his glory.

THE PILOTS.
Hnlfmoon Bay is Ihe mart of one of the rich
est districts of Jamaica. Fifty sail of ships
resort here anmia’ly, to receive end lake home
the sugars et cetera, of the parishes of St.
Margaret’s ; and, at Sf Mark’s at Christmas,
it is nothing unusual to sen twenty or thirty
merchantmen at once, moored in the n rbor.
Still, at a secondary colonial port, the arri
val of a ship is not an every day occurrence.
The signal gun at the windward, aa it comes
sailing down on Ihe trade wind, operates like
an electric shock upon every man, woman and
child, in Ihe place. The merchant drops Ins
pen and seizes a spy-glass; the planter mounts
his mule and gallops to the Boy ; there is a
rush of tho profunum rulgus to the wharves;
and even the poor slave is permitted lo sus
pend his toils a moment, and gazo at the lone
ivunderer of the doep, as she comos, walking
tho waves in beauty, round the easlern head
land.
But none feel that suit’s mngical '-fleet like
the men for whose ear it is intendcr 1 . These
were James Henry and Thomas Glen, me
rival pilots of Halfmoon. The echoes of tho
far-off call would scarcely cease, before their
gigs would be seen cutting the water, as if life
aud death depended on their spend.
There is nothing more animating than a
boat race. The dancing boat, leaping from
wave to wave, like a live inhabitant of tho sea
—the breathing silence, flushed cheeks, and
quick nervous strokes of the rowers—the in
tense anxiety in Ihe face of the helmsman—bis
low exrctation, and fierce rebuke, hurled at
some laggard at the oar, are bII picturesque :
and then, the animating shouts from the shore
and the shipping—the bet, the laugh, the taun
ting cry, of victory, and Ihe dropped oar, and
craven eilcnco of defeat—all concur to give
an electric start to the blood, such os tho vo
taries of the turf never knew.
It was on a clear, windy afternoon in July,
that a large brig suddenly appeared in the of-
No gun had announced her approach;
no one had seen her double the eastern bead-
land ; but there she was, as if by magic, stand
ing into port undei a press of sail. At that
moment Henry was engaged with three me
repairing the rigging of a large drogger,
that lay about two hundred yards from the
wharf. The small boni had been lent lo the
upper pari of the Boy for some (arkling, and
Ihe gig was fastened to the head of the wharf.
A loud shout came over (ho wulcr from the
windward, and turning round Henry sitw Glen
standing in the stern of his gig, and waving
his hat in triumph. A glance at the ofling,
and quick as thought ho was in tho sen, fol
lowed by the other three ; and nil were seen
blowing like porpoises, and swimming nt a
prodigious rate towards tho wharf. Just then
a crowd of men rushed upog the wharf, ono of
whom jumped into the gig, and losing the fast,
met the swimmers about half vvny from the
drogger. A load hurra hurst from the multi
tude the moment they wore seated at tho ours.
“ And now,” said the deep voice of Henry,
“a dollar for each man !” and the boat went
off over the bay, like a glancing shot from a
cannon.
Glen was already outside the shipping, nnd
steering dead for the brig, across the line ol
the surf—Henry, on the contrary, pulled for
its oltermnsl breaker, thereby gaining a deci
ded advantage by throwing himself directly in
the vessel’s courso. No more was seon dis
tinctly; for Ihe breakers of the surf were run-
ning high, and (brew n mist of sparkling spray
ctween the spectators on shore, and tho view
beyond. Tho brig however, hove too, us usu
al, and then came steadily on to her moorings.
The gig of Glen was seen skulking bark on
its former way; its master standing tip and
throwing his arms about, with tho characteris
tic violence of a Creole, and apparently ven
ting his rage on his crew. Henry was then,
doubtless, on bourd Ihe brig; but his boat was
not seen in low, ns was usual, and the whole
affair looked rather myslerioue, ’till capt.
Milne landed with Henry in his jolly boat.
” I tvas on the lookout for a pilot,” said the
captain, “ and at length saw a boat putting off
across the surf. She attracted ihe attention
of all hands, for she came with a long and
strong pull. The helmsman particularly, as I
viewed him through thegluss, mado me think
ofsumc horseman I have seen, whoso bodies
get along faster than their horses. Just then,
there was a cry of ‘ o boat ahead !’ and 1 round
to!’ came next, in a voice that would have
done honor to on admiral. Looking under
the trisail boom, sure enough there wus a boat,
directly ahead, und not thirty yards off.—
‘ Down with your helm I’ i cried, 1 down !’ But
it was too late. The next sea hung us direct
ly over him, and we crushed her as I might tin
egg-shell, thus.
“ I had run forward,” continued capt. Milne,
“ on observing the imminent peril of tho boat,
nnd had returned ns quickly to Ihe qunrlcr
deck, to see what became of Ihe men, when a
figure, which lo all appearance, had cutne out
of the sea, clambered over the tnfirnil, and
jumped up on deck. “ Pilot, captain !” said
thought him gone to the bottom and the job
his own.
The abnvo are facts, of which tho write*
was an eye-witness.
he in the same gruin voice which hailed us.—
Hat he had none, nnd the brine was trickling
from his hair over a face which glowed Ilka n
red-hot shot, and I thought f could hear it
hiss. Had the sea-god himself made his ap
pearance, he could not have been more in
character, nor my ship’s company more ama
zed. ' In Ihe uame of wonder!' 1 wus begin
ning to say—whon a loud hurra came from the
other boat. Glen it seems had observed the
accident, and was coming on w : th triumphant
shouts. Henry very coolly lifted his dripping
arm, nnd vvaving it too and fro, gave him tho
sign manual of Ihe profession that Ihe ship
was supplied. “ You can be of some use,
howovur,’cried he, in his dry way, ‘you can
pick up my men, which will be just tho same
thing, you know.’ To say the truth, in tho
hurry of the moment—for it had all happened
in a minute, I had myself forgot my errand aft.
Looking off on our starboard bow, as wo then
lay with our head to the wind, thcro were
several blark object*, heaving and setting in
ihe sea, which there was no mistake in taking
for negroes’ heads. * Tho poor fellows will
drown before we can let the bout down,’thought
I, and hailed Glen, for they were not far from
him. ‘ Hollo tliore I’ said I, ‘pick up those
men !” But what was my astonishment lo see
the fellow, after shaking his fist at us, with a
malignant grin, deliberately turned txis bouts,
head to the shore. * Cun it he possible ?”
thought I; * Pass up my blunderhu* I’ * Notv
you dog, pick those men tip, or I will put n
slug through you.’ The cowardly hound
obeyed and then steered off across tho reef,
while we filled away to nur moorings.”
“ But what I consider tho marvellous pnrt of
this day’s work continued Ihe captain, ‘ is Hen
ry’s getting on board. From the atyle in
which we run him' down, and the fact that
there was another pil-.t within hail, no one
dreamed of the posaibility of his taking ua in
to port, even if he escaped drowning. It was
a wonderful instance of g'Jod luck, thnt any of
the crew, in these circumstances should get
on board, nnd an absolute miracle that he
should be thi pilot. Such however was t he fact,
it seem* that Henry supposed that we saw
him, until we got quite near him. On discov
ering that we must go over kim, he dove just
as the brig was in the act of pitching, and pas
sing under her, rose immediately under the
rudder. He caught the rudder chain, passed
Afina, the Murderer.—Aided by the polite*
ness nnd attention ol Benjamin Morris, Esq.
Sheriff of Bucks county, we wero enabled in
the vary part of the week, to look into the
Doyleslown juil, in which the murderor Mina
is awaiting his exe ulion, and to hold some
ennversution with that unfortunate individual,
us well ns with other prisoners.
Having passed through various apartments,
wewers next shown into Mina’s cell. We
found hint engaged in close converaatiun with
high constable Blaney, of this city, but upon
our entrance he instantly ro9e, and received ua
with much formality. A chain about two feet
long was attached to hie left foot. He was
in dishabille, and consequently less neat a.id
tidy in his nppearanre, than when we saw him
in court, lie however appeared cheerful and
animated, and in the course of conversation,
frequently indulged in loud and hearty laughter.
Tho cell in which ho is confined is above
ground, niry, light and comfortable. By tho
side of his bed stood a small table, upon which
were writing materials, und a large loiter, just
sealed, addressed to his father at St. Salvador,
under the litlo of Brigadier General. A num
ber of religious tructs were strewed about the
room, and a Spanish bible occupied a shelf at
the head of his hod. On the wall tvo noticed
Ihe form of a cross, mode in pencil marks by
Miira himself.
Miou spoke without reserve of Ins life and
character. Several of the incidents ho men
tioned wo noted down soon after, and we shall
give them to tho reader, first promising how.
over that but littlo reliance should be placed
upon any which aro not corroborated by well
known facts. His stories are contradictory,
and invented, apparently, to excite the wonder
of the curious. He said his parents were ofa.
distinguished family, in high honor, in Trim-
dad do Cuba, in which island he was born, and
continued to reside until he sailed for America.
Tho early part of his life passed with but little
to distinguish it from othors, except an extra
ordinary propensity for mischief, and a fond
ness for female society. When ubout Ihe uge .
of seventeen, ho met with a singular adven
ture while sailing in a Spanish vessel, on an
excursion to a neighboring port. They feli in
with a dismantled ship, belonging to tho Co-
lombisn service from which u boat, containing
sovoral sailors nnd a gentleman in rich uni
form, aud a lady, was seen to put off. Tho
boat approached the Spunish vessel, und tho
gentleman in uniform briefly mentioned tout
his vessel wus in a sinking condition, and link
ed to bo taken on hoard : which request, how
ever Ihe Spanish Captain refused, alleging ao
a reason, that the sufferers wer* his Country’s
oneutiun, and not untitled to Immune treatment.
Mina expostulated with him, and implored
him, by all means to lake the lady on board,
who it wan a any to (ftrcetve, was u most beau,
lil'ul and interesting creature, not more iIiuq
fifteen years of uge. His entroaties had nut
little effect, until ho seized a largo Spanish
knife, and swore lie would kill the first man
that dared to prevent Ihe crew of the boat
from coming on board. They wero thon han
ded on deck, nnd Mina took caro that they
should bo well treated.
The gentleman proved to bs a distinguished
officer in the Columbian army, and the lady
his daughter. To her Mina made love, and
so successfully, that she consented to marry
him upon their arrival at Cuba. Her father
immediately returnod home, and when there
remitted, us u marriage portion for his daugh
ter, $22,000 in Spanish doubloons, and sub
sequently 17,000, in Colombian coin, together
with an infinite variety of jewels, rings, lie.
With a portion of this money Mina bought a
handsome plantation, upon which he soltlea.
lie lived with his young wife very happily, fop
about a year, when slto died in giving birib to
a daughter. Tho girl lives with his parents,
and will inherit his estate. Mtnu spoke also
of another daughter, now living in Cuba,
which bn culled—fur some reason- he did not
explain—an “ unnatural daughter.”
After the death of his wife, Mina, having
nothing to occupy his nttentionv connected
liiiusel with a buttallion of grenadiers, holding
lire ruiflt of cadet. The officers were general
ly overbearing, much given to intemperance,
•>nd consequently unpopular with the men.—
They became at length so insolent and tyran
nical, (hat u portion of the battallion resolved
in revolt. Accordingly, availing themselves
of u favorable opportunity on a parade day,
they seized u piece ofeunoon, in possession of
some blacks, and turning it upon Ihe officers,
fired and killed a considerable number. The
panic which this movement occasioned was
only momentary, the office At rallied the grea
ter portion of the soldiers, and drove (be re.
valters from the field. They fled to a thick
et. in a distant part of the island, where they
organized into a banditti, making Mina their
leader. They numbered forty, all desperate
fellows and capable of any species of crime—
They depredated on Ihe inhabitants to a great
extent, and in the course of their career, rot*
thence to the cabin window, would have enter-■ b&J tho royal treasury of a large umouot of
ed it, but (bought himself too damp for a lady’s; money. This Inner feat was accomplished at
stateroom—so passed up to the lasts of the'the instance of Mina. lie entered the office
sir rn boats—and thence over the ta^rail to tho' at a p.rlicul ir hoar, when the principal guard
quarter deck, and took the bng just as G1 m | was withdrawn, and having himself secured
