The Fixe Arts. It ia said that an ex
tensive quary of statuary marble has been dis
covered in the Cherokee Country. While mar
ble is found in large quantities in every State,
none has heretofore been discovered possessing
the purity of color and fineness of grain requi
site for the use of the sculptor. Mantle-pieces I
and tomb-etones are manufactured very ex
tensively from our native marbles,but nothing
more. The discovery of this quarry, therefore,
marks an era in the history of the Fine Arts in
our country. The ancient Greeks were in
debted to their' flue marble for their great su
periority in the most exalted of the imitative
arts. And to this cause we must ascribe in
part, that delicate perception of the Athenians
for the beautiful in forms. A quality in them
improved, or perfected, by their continued
efforts to body forth their conceptions, which
they could not have done without the abun
dance of marble. Notwithstanding the hurly
burly, and commotion of our country, she
has produced her share of sculptors, and
we doubt not that with the facilities of obtain
ing the material, we shall find many more.
Greenough, a Bostonian, who has been for
many years studyingthe masterpieces of Italy
stands among the first of the age. Several of
his groups have been exhibited in the Northern
cities, and have received much praise from
connoisseurs.
Auger is another. He is a Connecticut
man, who has received no aid from the study
of Foreign Schools. His “Jephthah meeting his
Daughter,” is considered a wonderful produc
tion for an uneducated sculptor. Where he
now is, we do not know.
Hiram Powers is a young man from the
West, of great genius. Without the slightest
assistance from models or books, he has al
ready acquired a celebrity, which will be in
creased by his pilgrimage to Italy. lie has
moulded clay busts of many distinguished
men at Washington, and goes to Florence to
prosecute his labors in the studio of Greon
ough.
Tiie specious prosperity of the few past years,
though attended with much injury, has been
favorable to the progress of the Fine Arts in
America, which we hope will not depend on
the rise or fall of stocks, nor the abundance or
scarcity of money.
The Aquatic Club of Gf.oruia. The
challenge which this club published to the
New York boatmen has never been noticed in
any official manner. A gcntleman'of this city
met some of the Whitchallers during the Sum
mer, and learned from them that they would
not consent to row against black servants; but
if the gentlemen of Georgia would row their
boat, the case would be different. The chal
lenge of the Georgia Club, says nothing of
the rowers, and the New Yorkers would have
avoided the injury their reputation has suffer
ed, had they made enquiries of the proper
persons. We are authorized to say that the
Lizzard shall be manned by gentlemen, who
we warrant, shall be the equals of the Knick
erbockers in bone and muscle, blood and
breeding.
Orders have been received by the Engineer
of the Brunswick Canal and Rail Road Cos. to
construct store houses at Brunswick and a pier
on the Altamaha. In the mean time the Canal
is progressing—the streets are opening and
the town improving. A vessel is daily expect
ed, having on board frames for houses and
stores and before Christinas, Brunswick will
present a busy scene. While many enterpris
es commenced during the speculation epidem
ic have fallen through, this Company compos
ed of Boston merchants proceeds in its works
without the remotest idea of abandoning or
even suspending its works. Looking for
ward to the establishment of a direct inter
course between Georgia and Boston and re
lving on the advantages of such a trade for
their emolument, they have counted the cost
before commencing and are not at all discour
aged.
A sale of lots will take place on the eighth
of January next. At that time a large number
of Northern gentlemen will attend with a view
of locating themselves permanently in Bruns
wick.
Indian Powell and seventy or eigh
ty warriors were taken prisoners at Fort Pey
ton. They came in for the purpose of having
“atalk.” Gen. Hernandez discovering they
were determined not to leave the Territory on
ariv conditions, instantly had them surrounded
and taken. About the same number of negros
came in a few days after. They belong to
gentlemen of South Carolina and have been
out since the first troubles. The schooner
Wm. & Henry, touched here on Tuesday last
for provisions. Sim has on board these ne
gros on their way to Charleston. From this
we may expect tiie Indian War draws to a ter
mination at last.
Melancholy. The body of a man was
discovered yesterday in an old negro house on
the road to Darien ferry. It has been identi
fied as an Irishman by the mine of White who
worked on the Canal last winter, and has
since been working at Macon. He was on his
way to Brunswick and complained to a negro
he met on the road of being weak and sick.—
He gained this old hovel and therfc died.
Erratum. In our last, we recommended to
an actor, afflicted with a propensity for writing
rhym, to leave the Muses and stick to Thalia,
Jjen we should have said Thespis. As for a
wonder, he might be inclined to take our ad
vice, we make the correction.
Piracy. The ‘ packet ship Susquehanah,
from Philadelphia for Liverpool, was captured
off the Capes of Delaware, by a piratical ves
sel. She is said to have had a large quantity
of specie, and several passengers—for whose
safety strong fears are felt The information
comes from two pilots who may be relied upon.
Texas. The Mexican Government has
notified the United States that the ports ofGal

The following beautiful lines are by Burns,
but not to be found in the ordinary editions of
his works. At the request of many of our
friends, we have procured a copy from an ac
complished gentleman, who sings the song with
the taste of kindred genius.
v Mary ! when the wild wind blows,
And blasts the beauties o’ the rose,
Thy coining fate to me it shows,
And I could weep for Mary.
Oft has the blossom decked the tree,
Since first thy laughing tell-tale ce’
Confess’d a wee bit love for ine,
And I was sniit wi’ Mary.
Mary ! I ha’e lo’ed thee lang,
Thou’rt ay the burden o’ 1113' sang,
Baith day and night where'er I gang
I think on naught but Mar}'.
When sleep seals up my wearied ce'
In dreams thy angel form I see,
And in fond rapture sigh to thee
1 Oh dinna leave me Mary !
Mary ! when the world’s unkind
And poverty throws me behind,
I oft can cheer my drooping mind
Wi’ thoughts o' thee sweet Mary :
For were 1 sick and like to dee,
Thy angel smile could comfort me—
Then come what will my prayer shall be
For happiness for Mary.
Pimento tree, —One of the most val
uable trees of Jamacia is the pimento,
which flourishes spontaneously and in
great abundance on the north side of the
island, its numerous white blossoms mix
ed with the dark green foliage, and with
the slightest breeze diffusing around the
most delicious fragrance, give a beauty
and charm to nature rarely equaled, and
of which he who has not visited the sha
dy arbours, and profound groves of the
tropics can have little conception. This
lovely tree, the leaf of which, bruised,
emits a fine aromatic odour, nearly as
powerful as the spice itself, has been
known to grow to the height of from thir
ty to forty feet, exceedingly straight, and
having for its base the spinous ridge of s>
rock, eight or ten feet above the surface
of the hill or mountain. A single tree
will produce IYO oftherawor 100 pounds
of the dried fruit. The indigenous for
est and even exotic trees of Jamacia,
grow to a prodigious height ; the palmet
to royal is frequently found one hundred
and forty feet ; the vast trunks of the Cu
ba (wild cotton tree) and fig trees, often
measure ninety feet from the base to the
limbs, and the trunk of the former, when
hollowed out lias formed a boat capable
of bolding one hundred persons. There
is a great variety of timber for agricultu
ral and household purposes, and some ex
quisitely beautiful cabinet woods.
Female Society. “In the conversa
tion, ol ladies,” says Flecnoe, a writer of
Charles the second’s time, “as in an ac
ademy, of virtue, I did learn nothing but
goodness—saw nothing but nobleness,
and one might as well be drunk in a
christul fountain, as to have any evil
thoughts whilst in their company, which
I shall always remember as the happiest
and innocentest part of my life.”
W 001 the Nine.”— “Do you woo
the muses, sir, the immortal nine ?” said
a female exquisite one day to a fellow,who
was pufliing a cigar. “I woo the long
nine, ma’am,” was the brief reply.

one of the great objects of “ WsJdic s Librarr,”
“to make good reading cheaper, and to hfing
Literature to every man’s door.” This sbges*
has been accomplished ; we have give* 44t
books wings, and they have Sown to fbe mpf
permost parts of onr vast continent, carrying
society to the secluded, occupation to the lite
rary, information to all. We mow propoee still
further to reduce prices, and render the assert
to a literary banquet, more than two fold ac
cessible ; we gave, and shall centinne to give,
in the quarto library, a volume weekly for two
cents a day ; we now propose to give a volume,
in the same period, for less than four tent* a
week, and to add, as a piquant seasoning to the
dish, a few columns of shorter literary matters,
and a summary of the, newt tfnd evMrta of the
day. Wc know, by experience and djUcala
tion, that we can go still further in the’ matter
of reduction, and wc feel, that there is stjll
verge enough for us to aim at oflferingdo art
increasing literary appetite, that mental food
which it craves. -

so great a favotite, wil! Continue to mafceYUr
