“TIic ferment of a free, is preferable to the torpor of a despotic, Govern meat.” VOL. II. ATHCiVS, GEOiiOiA, JUNE 29, 1833. NO. 15. Doetrg. From the N. Y. American. The following touching lines are from the pen of Mrs. Florida White, and ivcrtj addressed to her fa ther, Gen. Adatr, of Kentucky, late Governor of the .State, and at present a Memlicr of Congress, i This gifted lady accompanies her husband, the honorable Jos. White, of Florida, on a voy ige to Europe, for the Itcnotit of her health. The best wish. I t:s and earnest prayers of a wide circle of friends ac company them. Farewell to thee, land of my birth! Though I leave thee to wan 'cr afar, Thou art dearer to me than the rest of the earth.— Ay ! dear as my own natal star: And though I should see thee not.even for years— 1 shall think of thee always, and often in tears. Farewell to thee ! land of my sire ! Abode of the brave anil the free, If ever man cherish’d a patriot’s fire And worshipped his country—'twas he: O how could I part from his lov’d—native shore, If I fancied his arms would enfold me no more ! Sweet home of my mother ! f irewell! As hit I recalled thee with pride— As hers such fond thoughts on memory swell That utterance chokes with their tide. If the thought of her only thus thrills through my heart. Could 1 sec her once more—should I ever depart. Hright scenes of my childhood ! adieu : t^weet haunts of my half open’d mind. And ye sports ! Love and Youth, consecrated by you, Oh! how shall I leave you behind ? To part thus from brothers—from sisters—from friends— Is there ought upon earth that can make me amends ? Mew.York, 7th June. 1833. MY BRIGHT ONE. Mv bright one ! thou art moving through The light an'! gr'C"*'"l dance. And there is pride upon thyhrow, And sunshine in thy glance ; And gleams of pearl look out upon T'v wreath of braided hair, \nd iewels flash—like starlight thrown Upon the thankless air. The voice of song ! the air is rife t\ uh a dream of glorious things, Thy ’' th is thrill'U'T with the life Of all its sh ining strings ; Thy head is bow’d in beauty down, Thy lips are half apart ; The poet’s deepest thought is thrown Forth from thy glowing heart! A et would thou wert where softly falls On flowers tlm evening light On dim. deep streams on cottage walls, With woodbine trail'd and bright! Thv steps should be where the lily weeps, And tHttjhrooze he in thy hair. And blessings should break from faltering lips, And thou be named in prayer. f** r c u n u th principal reason with Mehemet Ali for the endeavor to establish his power on a firmer basis, and that to this source might be trace 1 his first attempt in 1815 to make hjs troops acquainted with European tactics. Hew s, however, compelled to defer the execution o his intuitions by a mutiny of the soldi rs, who refused to submit to any change in the system to which they had been accustomed. Several years afterwards he found an op portunity of carrying into effect his favorite idea. Having freed himself from the pres- ence of his old troops, whom he despatched on various expeditious, and having thus re moved the bitterest foes of innovation out of the way, he commenced the work, ofmiliiary reform with earnestness and determination.' He availed himself of the assistance of the most skilful French aud Italian officers he could get, and made use of .11 the information they possessed, on every point of their pro- fession. His exertions were urir mittirtg, and eminently successful. Towards the close of the year 1824, he was able to. despatch a powerful arriv for the Morea. well appointed, and supplied with every necessary equipment in the European style. Our readers are nw.ire of the complete success of this expedition. Greece, which had actually destroyed the whole power which the Suitan could bring into the field, and nearly achieved its per fect independence, rapidly lost, one after an other, the advantages she had gained, and soon saw Ibrahim Pasha uncontrolled mas ter of the Morea. Mehemet Ali had not, however, devoted his whole attention to military reforms. He had labored with the gre t :st assiduity for the acquisition of naval power also ; and bv the 1 adoption of European improvements in every branch of marine service, had succeeded in constructing a navy of considerable strength. He was iot, it is true, so fortunate in the first grand trial ol his naval, as of his military ability: for the value of his reforms iu the marine was first brought to the test in the bay ofNavnrino. But in this battle, when we consider who his enemies were, the des truction of his fleet is not a proof that his ef forts to form a navy had been ineffectual; nor did it at all discourage him from follow ing up his plans for s’rentrthening his gov ernment by the accession of maritime ower. Since the period when Meheme- Ali was compelled to relinquish all interference in the affairs of Greece, while he has omi'ted no opportunity of augmenting and consolida ting his military and naval strength, he has j at the same time so far increased the resour ces of his government, as to provide amply for the permanent support of the new insti tutions. Under his rule Egvpt has become a country of both commercial and agricultu ral importance, and realized many of the oth er advantages of improved civilization.

The Sultan has on various occasions betrayed his most anxious desire to have so desirable an event accomplished; and in 1813, at the very time when he was employing the military talents of Mehemet Ali against the Wahabees in Arabia, he despatched a person to Cairo to supersede iiim in his government. The fidel ity of one of his ministers saved Mehemet Ali from the ruin which had becu plotted against him. The Pasha, however, still continued, outwardly at least, the faithful servant of Mahmoud, and carried on the war with sue. ccas against the Arabian heretics. In the ynd, Abdalal Saoud, the leador of the rebell ious sect, was taken prisoner, and sent to Con stantinople, where he lost his head. But it ts probable that a knowledge of the real state of the Sultan’s feelings towards him. was a been proved to be for the land-forces of the Pasha. We will not now inquire how it has hap pened that, while the innovations of Mehemet Ali have afforded him a firmer foundation for the reconstruction of his power, the only ef fect of those of Mahmoud has been to under, mine the strength of the old system, without supplying any sure ground whereon to rear a new one. One cause of the wide difference in point of success between the efforts of the two great Mohammedan reformers, may cer tainly be found in the great disparity of their characters. The Sultan is far below the Pasha in talent and energy. He has, how ever, had more formidable obstacles to con tend wit|j; and perhaps even Mehemet Ali’s plans of reform might have failed, had they been brought into collision with the interests and the prejudices of such a well-combined, influential, and powerful corporation as that of the Ulemas. things ON THE MISSISSIPPI. From a Correspondent of the Portland Daily Advertiser. I have sat for hours on the prow of our steamer, and amused myself with noting ^he varieties which the fiat-boats, keel-hoats, kedge-boats, and other kinds of boats with whose names I am unacquainted, are loaded with when flouting down the Mississ ppi or- Ohio. Here goes <i Jot of hogs, horses, sue p, cows, and bullocks—and there, perchance, a lot ot negroes from Kentucky or Vir iuta, to he sold in Natchez or New Orleans for the Louisiana market. Here are flour, tobacco, corn and cotton, and there are iron, whiskey, &c. &c—in short, the productions of almost every soil. Here goes a “ broad horn” with i white flag, which signifies that it is a ped dling vessel, and si rung perhaps for P.tts- hurg, with Yankee notions and other kuicS- uuckerics ot ail sons for the farmers and far mers’ daughters on the banks of the rivers. We actually met two travelling doctors, Ya i. kees I dare say, oflering their services iu a iitifo boat “all along shore,” for hundreds of miles ! They could “ kill cnolera” or “knock over a lever,” to quote the phrases of the boatmen. When we left New Orleans, after passing the Batture, we went by from one to two thou sand flat-boats, which for three miles were on the levee. There arc on board of each of these flat boats from three to six poisons, who cook and noard within their bo lts. Thus you see the population ot New Orleans is at times greatly enlarged by strangers—and also, that numerous as are the steam-boats, they bv no mod iS engross all of the freighting business down the river. I said little or nothing of the many, very many steam-boats that crowd the levee in -New Orleans, because, though I labored hard to learn, no one could tell me how many tra ded iit New Orleans. While 1 was there, from forty to fifty were to be seen each day upon the levee, and they were coming in or le iving quite every hour in the day. It is said that there are from tour to five hundred steam-boats in the Western waters, including all trom Pittsburgh to Galena and New Or leans—and probably the estimate is not wild. When on the Mississippi, we passed three, four, and five every day ; and though not so many on the Ohio, every day we there passed many. The steam-hoats which run from large towns in the west to New Orleans, are large .and splendid boats, surpassing the best boats I have seen at the North. The Homer and Mediterranean are represented as magnificent boats. The Chancellor would be a “ a star” upon our waters. Their boats will carry a very large number of passengers. We pass ed the Splendid with 120 cabin passengers, and from 2 to 300 deck passengers. Some of the larger boats carry, at times, 500 deck passengers, among whom it is no wonder that the Cholera at this season breaks out, sleep ing, as they do, with little or no protection, and living, as they do, on food of the worst kind, halt cooked, for ten, twelve or fourteen days. These steam-boats are all, or nearly all, of high pressure. Accidents often occur, but probably not more from steam than in the oth er waters of the United States, comparing the number of boats here with the number elsewhere. One feels quite us safe in trav elling here, as on other waters. There are dangers from “running foul,” and from “snag ging.” The Mississippi is full of snags, saw yers, and planters. “ A snag” is u log or tree imbedded in the minOj and points down stream. A “ sawyer” mffers from a snag, in having a springing or sawing motion.— The snags and sawyers are often just far enough under water to be concealed from the pilots, and yet to destroy the boat when un der the tremendous pressure of steam. Capt. Shreve, ianions in these waters tor drawing out the suags, has taken up very many, and made the navigation much safer with his hi- formed steamboat, which the bo .tmeu call “ Uncle Sam’s Tooth Puller.” But notwith- standing all this, there is risk from a vi_- -.ting the mighty Mississippi with its whirls aud ed dies, in winch it is very perilous to swim whenever a boat is “ snagged,” even but a few feet from the shore. The Cholera is «»w in nearly every boat on the Mississippi and the lower part "of the Ohio. 1 here has been but one case among the cabin passengers, that I know of—and the disease has lost all its terrors. The Chan cellor, in which I was, ran aground one hun dred and seventy miles below Louisville—and alter laying on the banks of the Ohio, on the Indiana side ot the river, about six hours, and viewing the huts of the Indiana settlers, who, having no slaves, are working like men for themselves, we were taken off by a boat from St. Louis, the Metamora—in which (a small boat) were about 280 persons. Soon after I came on board, one man, dead of the Chole ra, was put ou shore, in a box to be buried after this, three persons more, frightened prob. ably into the disease, were seriously attacked. I have not heard their fate; but I foarn this morning that one of our cabin passengers is seriously attacked. It is no credit to some persons, that they continued to gamble even after pestilence and death had thus trodden in upon our numbers.

The following is the Sentence pronounced by the Court upon Clough, the murderer of Mrs. Hamilton : SENTENCE. Joel Clough.—After as full, fair and de liberate a trial as I have ever witnessed in the experience of thirty years practice at the bar—you have been convicted of the murder oi Mrs. Mary W. Hamilton. In the history of this trial you have had tiif benefits of able and distinguished counsel, and if you had been their brother instead of their client, the tender ties of such a connection could not have added to the untiring zeal, the laborious and honorable efforts, the exertion of pro- fessioaal talents, the thrilling and soul subdu ing eloquence with which you have been de fended. The jury were literally of vour own selection, you were not captious and troulil some in making that selection, but you did it with prudence and discretion, and not a juror was elected but in accordance with vour own feelings. The counsel for the State conducted the cause with benignity and mer cy—hut with those talents for which they are distinguished, and that firmness for which as men ol virtue and of honor they dare not relax. Your triers, the jurors, have in the most patient and enduring manner sub- mitted to almost unexampled privations and confinement for the period of nearly eight days, until some or one of them at least, al most sunk under the pressure of his confine ment and his feelings, and by their fixed, sol emn and patient attention to every word and suggestion, must have given you the assurance that they desired not your blood, but most ardently and fervently desired to find you in nocent, if that innocence could be found even in the negative virtue of a ruined and dis tracted mind; and as to the Court, it may not become me to speak ; but I think in view of that bar, before which you must shortly ap pear, I can say for my brethren and myself, that we have endeavored so to regulate and control the trial, as to secure to you all the advantages that the fair and impartial admin istration of justice can extend to the de ceased. The final and the fatal result has been re corded, and that record speaks while miud and memory and judicial records last, and will continue to speak you GUILTY, GUIL TY, GUILTY—of the murder of Mary W. Hamilton, in manner and form as vou stood charged by the Grand Jury of the county. And who was Mary Hamilton ? Was she your enemy? Had she done you wrong ?— Was it her crime that beauty had spared her charms and smiled forth in all the loveliness of virtue, in every feature of her countenance, in the delicacy and elegance of her form, in the chaste and winning manners of her life ? And was it because you could not make such a prize your own, that you resolved in the madness of your heart, she should never live to bless another man and make him happy—as she had made the former and lamented hus band of her first and earliest love ? But I press the inquiry no further. You say you loved her—and yet, mysterious love—you seized the unsuspecting moment of her kind attentions, when sickness feigned, or real, we fear the former, drew her, at your own request—with kind attentions to your chain, her to administer to your comfort, you sei zed that moment to plant the fatal dagger in her bosom—perpetrated the horrid deed. She lived to say—“ Oh ! mother, mother, I screamed, screamed—you did not come, and Clough has killed me because I would not mar ry him. I could not mother—J could not, you know. I must die, I must die /” But I for bear—I desire not to extract the dagger from her bosom and plant it in your own. I know your blood will not atone for hers. But I have said this much, that you may see and feel we have a just abhorrence of your crime, and to banish from your bosom all hope of a favorable interference by the Court, with that department of the government, in which is lodged the pardoning power. Ban ish then, we intreat yon from your mind, every hope" aud expectation ; put out at once the faintest ray of hope that may penetrate into the darkest recess of your cell, and prepare to meet your God ! The blood you shed was precious blood, but infinitely, infinitely more precious is that blood which was shed on Calvary ; and on that and that alone we com mend you to look for pardon and eternal life. It remains only for us to pronounce the sentence of the Law—and it is considered and adjudged that you be taken from hence to the prison of tliis county from whence you earned and there be kept in close and secure custody until Friday the 26th day of July next, between the hours of 11 o'clock in the morning and 3 o'clock in the- afternoon, you be taken to the place of public execution and there to be hanged by the neck until you are dead, and may the Almighty God have mercy on your soul! Woman.—-Never shrink from a woman of strong sense. If she becomes attached to you it will be from seeing and valueing simi- lar qualities in yourself. You may trust her for she knows the value of your confidence; you may consult her, for she is able to advise, and does so at once with the firmness of rea son, and the consideration of affection. Her love will be lasting, for it will not have been lightly won; it will be strong and ardent, for weak minds ire not capable of the loftier grades of the passion. If you prefer attach ing yourself to a woman of feeble understan ding, it must be from the fear of encounter ing a superior person, from the poor vanity of preferring that admiration winch springs * ‘ from ignorance to that which rises from ap preciation. A wotqan who has the beauty of feminine delicacy and grace—who has the strong sense of a woman, yet softened and refined by the influence of womanly feeling—whose passions are strong, but chastened, and direc ted by delicacy—whose mind is brilliant alike trom its natural emanations and its stores and acquirements—whose maimers have been formed by the imperceptible iniluence of good society, in its broad sense, yet arc to- tally free from the co sciousness and affec tation oi an etiquette, though it is the highest —who, though she shines and enjoys the world, finds her heart’s happiness at home— is not this the noblest and the sweetest of the creatures made by God ! Letter from Maj. Downing We feel ourselves highly honored with the following letter from so celebrated a character as Maj. Downing; and shall certainly expect a visit trom him on his arrival in this city.—N. Y. Gazette. Washington, Thursday morning, June 6. Dear Sir—As the President gets me to read all the newspapers to him, being consid erable slie’* at the business, I most always take the New York Gazette first, d and he have both come to the conclusion, seeing you have printed all my letters, to write you a lino respecting our eastern tower. Both of us have been as busy as bees packing up for Downingsville for a week back. The Presi dent waked me up this morning before day light, and asked me what I thought of the weather. Says I, Gincral, its going to rain. Says he what do you think ? Had wc butter start? Yes, says I; we dident mind the weather in New Orleans and a ducking should never frighten a soldier. Well says he,, if you aint afraid 1 aint—so before we eat our breakfast, you sit down and write a line to Mr. Lang, and tell him he may expect us this day week, and ask him to engage us rooms at the largest house in New York. I wanted to go to the tfity hotel, but the President thinks Holt’s house the best. However says he, we wont quarrel about it—let Mr. Lang decide the question. If you engage Holt’s, tell him to get his blacking machine in order, for the President makes a terrible rumpus about his boots. ' The President asked me the other day haw I should like to go up iu Mr. Durant’s balloon. Catch a weasel asleep, says I ; Gincral suppose I should break my neck, what would become of you ? O, says he, Major, there’s Mr. Van Buren at hand. That cock won’t fight says I; one Yankee is worth two Dutch men any day. Well, says he, just as you please about that ; but Mr. Van Buren, you know, is going to Downingsville with us—that was agreed on long ago. The Gincral got a little touched at what I said about Mr. Van Buren, but I stopped his mouth pretty quick. Says I, Gineral, hav’nt I done you more ser vice than he ? Did’n’i I stand by you through thick and thin, when you got into that scrape with the Cabinet, did’n’t Mr. Van Buren throw up his commission, and leave you in the lurch. And did’n’t I recommend Mr. Liv ingston, and Mr. Kendall, and Gineral Cass, and Isaac Hill, to take the places of those who abused you like a pick-pocket, as soon as their backs were turned ? And did’n’t I put down the nullifiers ? and did’n’t I write your proclamation and Mr. Webstcr’si speech? The Gineral aint any hand at an argument, and I had the weather gage of him. Well, says he, Major, have your own way—there’s no doing any thing without you. When I found how the wind blew, think’s I, now’s my time. Gincral, says I, if Mr. Van Buren goes to Downingsville, he’ll take the shine off of botli of us, and we may as well hang up our fiddle. Do you think so? says he. Yes I do, says I. Then we’ll go without him, says the Gineral, for I don’t allow no man to take the rag off' of you or me. So you see Mr. Lang, I can uo pretty much as I please with the President, and we are to have the ride to ourselves. As it grows late, and we are to set oft" as soon as breakfast is cleared away, I must conclude at present, with requesting you to make all necessary preparations for us, and I shall cali with the President, and make you a visit as soon as we land at the Battery. If our time is not too much taken up, I shall write jou further when we arrive at Philadcl- phia. I have directed Mr. Barry, our Postmaster Gineral, to send this letter by the fast mail. Your friend, JACK DOWNING. To John Lang fisq., New ’York. Selling a dog.—Dick Lazybones was the owner of a large dog, which it cost as much to keep as it would two pigs ; and the dog be sides was utterly useless. Nay, he wafc worse than useless • he took up houseroom and greatly annoyed Dick’s wife. “ Plague take the dog!” said she, “Mr. La zybones, I do wish you would sell him, or kill him, or do something or other with him. He’s more plague than his rotten neck is worth—always laying in the chimney corner and eating more than it would take to main tain three children. I wonder you will keep such a useless animal.” “ Well, well, my dear,” said Dick, “say no more about it. I’ll get rid of hitn one of these days.” ' This was intended as a mere get-off on the part of Dick : but as his wife kept daily din ning in his ears about ^he dog, he was at length compelled to take some order on the subject. “ Well, wife,” said he as he came in, I’ve sold Jowler.” “Have you indeed ?” said she, brighten ing up at the good news—“ I’m dreadful glad of it. How much did you sell Iiim for, my dear ?” ' ' “Fifty dollars.” “Fifty dollars! What—fifty dollars for ono dog ? How glad t am» That’ll almost buy us a good horse. But where’s the money, my love?” , } “Money! said Dick, shifting a long pipft lazily to the other corner of his mouth, “ I did’nt get any money—I took two puppies at 25 dollars a piece.”—iV. Y.

Hobhouse has re- signed the office of Chief Secretary for Ire land, and his seat in Parliament, feeling that if he retained it he must vote against minis ters for the repeal of the house and wiudow duties. Turkey.—The intelligence published in this paper on the 3d inst. upon the authority of the Wirtemburg Gazette, of the conclusion of Peace between the Sublime Porte and Me hemet Ali, the rebellious Pacha of Egypt, is confirmed. On this subject the Editor of the London Courier remarks : “ The French Journals of Sunday confirm the intelligence received yesterday of the conclusion of a treaty of peace, between the Sultan and Mehemet Ali, which will confer on the latter the soverei t nty of the whole ofSy. ria, iu addition to the puchalics with which he was previously invested. Ibrahim Pacha, it is stated, had in the mean time, consented to evacuate Asia Minor.” “ The Russian troops which were advan. cing upon Constantinople trom the principali ties are stated to have received orders from the Porte to suspend their marches. The Messager asserts that Russia speaks of in demnity for the expense of sending troops to the assistance of liie Porte, and proposes to leave 12,000 troops in the sultan’s dominions until the final settlement of the affairs of the East. Vienna, April 27. The accounts received to-day by express from (Constantinople are of the 14th April.— They announce that despatches from Iviuta. kia had brought Ibrahim’s answer, accepting the proposals of the Porte to cede Syria, Da mascus and Alcpho, but demanding besides Adana and Caramania, on which he would commence his march homewards. The influenza has prevailed here in a very extensive degree for these ten or twelve days, and 30 or 40,000 persons have been attacked. It docs not seem dangerous, most of the pa- tients recovering in a few days.—Allgcmeins Zcitung, May 2 and 3. Brussels, May 4. Holland and Belgium.—An English Courier, who is the bearer of the treaty be tween the Sultan and the Viceroy of Egvpt, passed through Brussels in the night o 1 ’ the 2d inst.
