PROSPECTUS OF THE A WEEKLY PAPER, PUBLISHED AT BRUNSWICK, GLYNN COUNTY, GEORGIA. The causes which render necessary the es tablishment of this Press, and its claims to the support of the public, can best be presented by the statement of a few facts. Brunswick possesses a harbor, which for ac ' cessibility, spaciousness and security, is une qualled on tfie'Southern Coast. This, of itself, woubfbe sufficient to render its growth rapid, and its importance permanent; for the best port South of the Potomac must become the site of a great commercial city. But when to this is added the singular salubrity of the cli mate, free from those noxious exhalations gen erated by the union of salt and river waters,' and which are indeed “charnel airs” to a white population, it must be admitted that Brunswick contains all the requisites for a healthy and populous city. Thus much has been the work of Nature ; hut already Art lias begun to. lend her aid to this favored spot, and the industry of man bids fair to increase its capacities, and add to its importance a hundred fold. In a few months, §. canal will open to the harbor of Brunswick the vast and fertile country through which flow the Altamalia, and its great tribu aries. A Rail will shortly be commenc ed, terminating at Pensacola, thus uniting the waters of the Gulf of Mexico with the Atlantic Ocean. Other Rail Roads intersecting the State in various directions, w ill make Bruns wick their depot, and a large portion of the trade from the Valley of the Mississippi will yet lindjts way to her wharves. Such, in a few wolds, are the principal causes which will operate in rendering Brunswick the principal city of the South. But while its advantages are so numerous and obvious, there have been found individuals and presses prompted by sel fish fears and interested motives, to oppose an undertaking which must add so much to the importance and prosperity of the State. Their united powers are now applied to thwart in every possible manner, this great public bene fit Misrepresentation and ridicule, invective and denunciation have been heaped on Bruns wick and its friends. To counteract these ef forts by the publication and wide dissemination of the facts—to present the claims of Bruns wick to the confidence and favor of the public, •to furnish information relating to all the great works of Internal Improvement now go ing on through the State, and to aid in devel oping the resources of Georgia, will be the leadiwrr ohiecta of tjiis Press. Such being its end and aim, any interfer ence in the party politics of the day would be - iljjproper-and impolitic. Brunswick has re el! s* benefits from—it hasr friends in all par ties, and every consideration is opposed to rendering its Press the organ of a party. To the citizens of Georgia—and not to the mem bers of a party —to the friends of Brunswick— to the advocates of Internal Improvement—to the considerate and refiectiug—do we apply tor aid and support. Terms —Three dollars per annum in ad vance, or four dollars at the end of the year. J. VV. FROST, Editor. DAVIS &. SHORT, Publisher*. BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA, THURSDAY ZttGRSJIJSG, OCTOBER 5,1837. P O E T fit 1 . THE YOUNG MARINER S SONG. I love the deep, the boundless sea— There’sjoy upon its tide, And oh ! uiy'heart beats thnllingly As o’er its waves I glide. I do not love to stay on land— ’Tis weariness to me ; Its scenes are dull and spiritless— Give me the deep blue sea ! Give me the deep blue sea, for there I feel myself at home ; I love to watch the breaking wave, There’s beauty in its foam. there is iliusic on the deep Tlqit’s heard not on the shore ; The waves ring out with harmony As they go vaulting o’er— As they go vaulting o’er and o’er, And throw on high their spray, Leaping along so joyously, Like children at their play ! Oft times I’ve bent me o’er the rail, As dashed the ship along, And felt a tempting wish to leap Amid the joyous throng— Amid the joyous throng, that seemed So full of living glee. And almost sighed that I was not A dweller of the sea. And feeling thus, my prayer has been Oft breathed upon its wave, That far beneath its glassy depths Should be my unmarked grave ! c. r. i. | MISCEIiLAHY. A DUEL AT POITIERS. Poitiers is well known to the antiqua ry as having possessed a Roman amphi theatre, of which however, when I was at that University only a vault, supposed to have been a cage for the wild beasts, remained. This cage, from the solidity the masonry, and the enormous size of me blocks, seemed indestructible, but was tidVs, aud asked foe the key of the onv l ern, I'found that it no longer existed, and |ihat on the site had been constructed the | inn of the ‘Trois Pclerins.’ It is a stone’s | throw from the Salle d’Armes, a place ! with which I had been better acquainted than with the schools. To revive my ancient rocolleetion, I entered the salle, and found there an inhabitant of the town whom I had known at college. lie proposed that we should dine together at the ‘Trois Pclerins and after drinking as good a bottle of wine as it afforded, ihe related to me what a few days before, in the very identical room where we were sitting, had happened at a dinner of the collegians. It was ordered for twelye ; but, one of the party having invited a friend, the number swelled to thirteen. It is said that superstition supplies the place of religion ; I have observed this to be the case with the most sceptical ot my acquaintance ; and thus this number thirteen was looked upon with no very ; favorable eye, and considered as a super numerary, who brought with him ill luck. I One of the set at last summoned resolu j tion enough to say, ‘I do not dine thirteen.’ ■ ‘Nor I,’ said another. ‘Nor I,’ was repea ! ted on all sides. The guest, naturally em i barrassed at this rudenesss, got up, and was about to retire,when Alfonse,to whom he came as umbra, proposed an ingenious expedient for doing away with the evil aug ery, and said ‘There is oneway of annul ling the proverb that threatens death in the course of the year to one of a party ofthir teqq, that way is, to decide which of us shall fight a duel this evening or to-morrow morning.’ ‘Done !’ cried all the students at a breath.’ ‘Shall it be among our | selves ?’ said one of them,‘No,’replied the 'author of tlip proposition : ‘for then ! two of us would have to fight, whereas it ought to be the thirteenth.’ ‘Right,’ said all the young men. ‘Then let it be with one of the officers of the garri son.’ ‘Be it so, said Alfotise; ‘we, will I make a pool as usual, at the case, all I thirteen of us : and ’ ‘The first out’ j said the student. ‘No,’ interrupted Al fonse, ‘that would be a b;tu omen ; it shall be the winner.’—‘Agreed !’ replied all, and they sat down to the table with as much gaiety and insouciance as if noth ing had been said. Dinner finished,they ' marie a.brilliant entree into the case—-a. general place of rendezvous for the stu dents and officers when they were not at daggers drawn. Two of the lafler were I playing, at billiards when they entered. But when they learnt that a duel was on ! fiflfl.they hastened to lay down their cues. A duH 1 every thing must yield to that! There were but few military men then pre sent, for that very day there was alioiree at the general commandant’s of the garri- Ison ; andbfhese few consisted of vete£ I ans, wliojrelerred passing the evening' kp. W at the case to putting on silk stockings and shoes, or of chcneqans, who in the regiment went by the name of eranos or bourreaux ties cranes. The old grognards however, did not quit the room. They all, more or less, formed a shrewd guess of wl*ft was to happen ; and,for the hon or of the service, waited for the ’quarrel to break out. In our schools and garri-, sons at Paris we are totally unacquainted with that esprit de corps which engages a whole regiment, and an entire body of young men in a duel, when two ordy are concerned ; nor can we form a notion how slight a thing a duel is considered, when it is the custom to decide all ques tions sword in hand. The pool was be gun. Never did a party, when a large sum of money depended on the issue of the game, play with more care and cau tion than those thirteen to decide which of them was to fight. By degrees the players lost their three lives, and the number was at last reduced to two ; these two were the stranger guest and Alfonse. \ The lookerson watched anxiously every stroke. Those halls, that as they rolled | carried with them the fateof a man were I followed by earnest looks. The ollicers 'came nearer and nearer, and ranged themselves round the billiard table. They were not a little interested to know wheth er they, or rather one of them—which they knew not—was to enter the lists 'with a fresh man, no doubt* unpractised in fencing, or with the most adroit and tefrihle duellist in the University. The chances were against them. The stran ger lost. A singular excitement was occasioned by the disappearance of the ball in the pocket. Some faces grew pale: but ho one stirred from . the spot where he had been standing as a specta tor. Alfonse looked steadily around him, and made two or three times the circuit of the room, as though he were in search, but in vain, of someone worth quarrel ing with. At last, he perceived a sort of sub-lieutenant, originally drum-major and muitre-d’armes, and who boasted of hav ing killed his thirty pequins, sitting qui etly in a corner. Alfonse walked straight up to him, and, saluting him with a polite ness that electrified the company, said in his cool way—‘Monsieur, 1 am exceed ingly distreseed at the situation in which I find myself placed ; but my honor is concerjigP, and you will allow me to en gage yours.’ Without further preliminaries, he gave him a severe hit in the face. The officer,, who little expected so abrupt and unans werable a mode of provocation, sprang like a madman from his chair; aqd had not Alfonse, with the activity and uimbleness ofa cat,leaped with one bound on the table, the ex-drum-major would probably have strangled him on the spot. lie was quick at the aggressor’s heels, when his own comrades stopped Jiim of their own ac cord, saying—‘Come, come ! no child’s play or boxing ! the tiling is too serious! C est ten combat a' la meet !’ Whereshail 1 find you to-morrow !’ said one of the offi cers, addressing Alfonse. ‘Fix your ground,’ was the reply. ‘No to-morrows 1’ said the officer who had received the blow ; ‘this instant !’ ‘This instant he i it, if you please,’ replied Alfonse, with the utmost indifference. ‘I shall hot sleep to-night till that blow is avenged!’ said the other, foaming with rage. ‘I, too, want to unnumb my hand. 1 have hurt my knuckles against your cheek ! bones;’ said Alfonse. ‘Where would they fight at such a time of night as this?’ ob served some of the officers. ‘ln the war den behind the cafe,’ cried the ancient mairtc (Partties ;‘a sword in one hand, and a billiard lamp in the other.’ ‘But,’ said Alfonse, ‘I am tired. 1 know your style of fighting men, Crane ; you want to make me break ground, and drive me step by step round the. garden. l)on’t [think it, my lad. Besides, the lamp may ] igo out. But, if you have no objection,! the billiard-table will be a good arena, j AVe shall he well lighted,’ and there will ' be no means of drawing hack a foot.’ l ‘Beit so,’ said the other. The doors were closed, and they laid hands oil the waiters and the proprietors of the case, \ who were going to tiio police. The swords were then brought. The two adversaries j cast lets for them, and then pulled olf j their coats and waiscoats, and unbutton- [ ed their shirts, to show that they had ; nothing under. Both then took their j swords. The officer wrapt round his' hand a handkerchief, leaving bothl ends dangling. Alfonse neglected this practice, the object of which was to distract the attention *xif his adversary by the perpetual flutte* of their two white points, thus to turn away his attention | from the sword. But Alfonse had a man- ! ner of fighting of his own, and cared lit tle (or these petty proceedings. lie nev er looked at the steel ; but, fixed his eye on that of Jtis antagonist, anticipated ov er* motion that lie made. The two wrestlers, or gladiators I might say, got on the table together, and, according to the terms or conditions agreed Qii between | the students aqd the officers, rested their "HEAR ME FOR MY CAUSE swords on the toes of their boots. A traveler from a commercial house, who happened to be present, and who could, have no interest in the scene other thailj what its novelty excited, was fixed oil to clap his hands three times, and at the third j the swords were upraised in the air and | the two combatants came to guard. A .terrible •silence reigned through the room, and for some seconds it was only broken i by the clashing of steel; for both par ties, as they skirmished, were well aware] that a single faux pas was death.— The slightest stepping back, shrinking of the body, o$ leaping on one side, must inevitably prove fatal. The officer was a head and shoulders taller than Alfonse, and looked as though he could crush him ; hut he little heeded this advantage, if advantage it was, for he by degrees lowered his body till lie was right under the sword of his foe, and almost bant himself down upon the bed of the (able. No other change in his attitude; then took place. All at once the officer ] taking this posture for the effect of fear, j made a furious lunge, which was parried! with the greatest sang jraid and skill,! and Alfonse allowed the officer to return to his ground without attempting to re-i turti 'H 11 is adversary was' deceived by [ this sort of timid defence, and, become! more adventurous, attacked him again witn increased fury—so much so, that, thrown off his guard, his left foot quitted the cushion of the tabic, against which it I had been fixed. Then it y. as Alfonse j made a rapid hinge at the officer’s face. [ He endeavored to regain the ground he had lost, to resume his position. The student would not give him time, and [ charged with impetuousity his disconcer ted enemy, who could only avoid his thrusts by keeping his body bent back wards. Alfonse forced him to the edge of the table, when his foot tripped, and at that moment lie drove the sword up to the hilt in his heart. The unhappy ofli ccr cried out, “Hit ! hit !” Then he raised himself to his full height, and fell backwards from the top of the table to the floor. Awful was the sound that the weight of that body made upon the boards of the room ! There was mixed up with it a feeling—a dread lest the dead man should hurt himself in falling. Never did I see, fori was present, so dreadful a dbnfest! Never di# I experience any thing so frightful as the silence of those two men—as the flashing of their sword#! by the light of the lamps—as the fall of the vanquished, who, disappearing behind the table, seemed at once to have been engulphed in a tomb that opened from behind to receive him!—[Bently’s Mis cellany. Deacon Slow.— Deacon Slow had three sons; it is unnecessary to mention his daughters—who were, as Dacca’s sons , are apt to he—the deuce only can tell why j —very roguish. They were in the habit of poking fun ;rt an old ram, who endeavor ed to make his share of the sport, by hut ting them over, a kind of fun which he often manifested a disposition to play off upon the Deacon, as he marched down to salt the flock—for these were duties to which lie paid strict attention,rife lie was! exceedingly humane, except when he was j made very wroth, on which occasion liisi anger would burn, like a furnace seven; times heated. Now the Deacon’s sheep | pasture was on the Shawsheen river,! which is narrow hut deep, andthe pasture J terminates in a precipice which rose sis-j teen feet above the water and shelved o- j ver it, as a beetle-browed house hangs o- j ver a narrow street ; and the boys, who had exhausted all other fun upon the ram, were in the habit, now and then, of squat ting on the edge of tlio precipice, and j darting a hat at him, at which he would 1 come with blind fury thereat. The hoy j who held the lial could easily leap aside, and the exasperated ram was quickly j cooled by a plunge headlong down the precipice, into tfie stream—at this j they were one day caught by the Deacon their lather, who took them into the thick et close by and annointed their hacks! thoroughly with the.oil of birch—an ox- 1 cellent application in such cases made and provided. It is not always effectual, however, and in this case the disease was not cured, as the boys were a few days af ter waiting round the place in order to repeat the joke on the unsuspecting and j innocent rain ; hut on beholding their! father at a distance, coming with his has-; ketyf salt, they hid in the thicket which, they had had so good occasion to remem- j her. Slowly came deacon Solomon Slow, | and after he scattered salt, he stood thought within himself, that it would be amusing to sec the rain bolt over the precipice into the river. He saw no one nigh—how should he,* when the boys were bid in the bushes ? and ta king off his brotfd-brimed hat, he made demonstrations which at once attracted the notice of the lord of the flock, who |et out as usual in lull speed.

You cannot desire to indulge an idle fancy the expense of your hus band's Reputation ?” The affectionate wife smiled sarcastical ly, as she replied, “A mosaic centre table will certainly contribute largely towards the discharge of your debts.’ Delmoreton was deeply wounded.— “True madam—it is indeed, but an insig nificant item, a mere feather in my pecun iary halanqe; yet I cannot, and will not retain the most petty superfluity, when those who have confided in me, cannot he indemnified, even by the most unre served surrender of my property.

Ran dolph Clifford soon entered, starting as he beheld his beloved Septima, as if some formidable apparition had appalled his senses. A single glance assured his wife that lie was struggling against some vio lent and unwonted emotion. She eager ly followed him, as lie threw himself into a chair, pressing his hands upon his head, as ifby crushing the machinery ofthdught, he would prevent its future operation. “Are you ill Randolph?” He shook his head in silence. “Speak then, my love, and let tne share the burden of your secret sorrow.” “Are you not assured of my entire sym pathy, whatever he the nature of your per plexity ?” “Can you forgive me for deceiving you, dear Septima ?” “Why, that'will certainly be rather difficult; hut as rny suspense is not likely to he terminated before I promise absolu tion, you may consider it as yours.” This was said sportively, in the hopa i of changing tlie gloomy tenor jof his fcel- I ings.—But the bankrupt, could not bear j her innocent gaiety, which like the gambo ] ling of a devoted lamb, unnerves the hand | that must inflict the stroke.
