JOHN FRANKLIN. Sen. May 10. Sheriff G. C. A Hew Advertisement, A .Yew Year, and a Neu> Inducement, for sub scribing to the Weekly Messenger ! THE cheapest and decidedly the most pop ular Family Newspaper in the U State*, with a circulation of many thousand subscrib ers The American Weekly Messenger is published every Wednesday, on beautiful white paper, of the largest class, at $2 per annum, or ten snbscriptions for $lO. Its contents arc adapted to the wants of the Farmer, Mechanic, Tradesman, Agriculturist, Merchant and Manufacturer. This Journal was commenced on the first of January last, and, without any previous effort to herald its success, went into immediate and rapid circulation. Such was the unprecedent ed popularity which attended its projection that, in about six months from the period it was first issued, not less than fifteen thousand names were embraced on its subscription lists! which have been ever since constantly and rapidly increasing, and now bid fair to super cede in extent and stability every other pub lication which has existed in the literary world. It is generally conceded.that the contents of the Messenger embraces as much origimal matter as any other periodical of the present day. The diffusion of useful and wholesome information, with a view to the cultivation of a correct knowledge of Polite Literature, is the chief object at which it aims. Arrangements have been entered into, by which the publish er will be assisted in the editorial department by the talents of three] or four gentlemen of distinguished abilities—and it is intendt*! to introduce several important improvements, which will bespeak additional popularity for its columns. As the character and leading features of this Journal are well known throughout the United States, it will lie superfluous to enter into a recital ol the same. The season is approach ing, however, when the reading public are ex pected to make their selections for the next year, and we deem it advisable, therefore, to furnish a brief and explicit statement of our terms, which we hope will prove satisfactory, and be implicitly observed : A ten dollar bill, forwarded by mail, postage paid, will pay for ten copies of the Messenger for one year ! A five dollar bill, forwarded by mail, postage paid, will pay for four copies for one year ! Two dollars, paid in advance, is the price of an individual subscription for one year One_ dollar, in advance, will pay for a single subscription for six months only. A five dollar note will pay one year’s sub scription to the Weekly Messenger and also the Gentleman’s Magazine, edited by W. E. Button, Esq. [p 3 Remittances from Clubs, to be entitled to the vantages of the liberal terms here offered, must be made in sums of five’s and ten’s of current Bank notes—any lesser a mount, forwarded by mail, will be Glassed a long with individual subscriptions. It will be a great saving to the publisher, and facilitate the early mailing of the paper, ii the individual forwarding the sum required for four, or ten, or more subscribers, when they are located together, will allow the package to be addressed to the Postmaster, or someone a mong themselves, who being made acquainted with the names of the Club, can as readily dis tribute them as if directed separately. All letters innst be post paid, or not be taken out of the office. Address CHARLES ALEXANDER, Athenian Buildings,Franklin Place, Philadel'a. BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNJB 28,1838. POETRY. TO A WATER FOWL. Whither, midst falling dew, While glow the heavena, with the last steps •f day, Far, through their rosy depths,dost thou pursue Thy solitary way ? Vainly the fowler's eye Might mark thy distant flight la do thee wrong As, darkly painted on the crimson sky, Thy figure floats along. Seek'st thou thy plashy brink Os weedy lake, or marge of river wide, Or where the rocky billows rise and sink On the chaffed ocean-side ? There is a Power whose care Teaches thy way along that pathless coast— The desert and illimitable air— Lone wandering, but not lost. All day thy wings have fanned, At that fair height, the cold thin atmosphere, Yet stoop not, weary, to the welcome land, Though the dark night is near. And soon that toil shall end, Soon shalt thou find a summer home, and rest And scream among thy fellows ; weeds shall bend Soon o’er thy sheltered nest. Thou’rt gone—the abyss of heaven Hath swallowed up thy form; yet on my heart Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given, And shall not soon depart. He, who, from zone to zone, Guides thro' the boundless sky thy certain flight, In the long way that I must tread alone, Will lead my steps aright. W. C. Bryant. NICK BIDDLE. [From the Madisonian.] Who is the greatest tyrant that Upon an earthly throne e’er sat? Who gnaws our marrow, bones and fat? Nick Biddle! Who bids the angry tempest roar? And sends your ships and brigs ashore? Who fires your house and robs your store? Nick Biddle! Who is it all our crops destroys? Who is it buys up states, aa boys Buy for amusement little toys? Nick Biddle! Who was it Mr. Morgan alew? Who Cholera caused in Thirty-two? The dreadful New York fire too? Nick Biddle? Who blows up Mississippi boats? Who cuts the pockets from your coats? Who makes the counterfeit bank notes? Nick Biddle! Who is the cause of all our woes? And in our way such mishaps th.ows? Why surely every body knows! Nick Biddle! iHISCELLAIY. [From the Exeter New* Letter.] A PEEP BEHIND THE SCENES. Editorials. Every newspaper must have its Editorials. These arc the para graps or essays, which are generally pub lished in open lines, and intended to pass as original. An Editor is expected to furnish one or two such columns for every paper. The quality of the matter is of little consequence. The superficial con tents —and it i3 commonly superficial e nough—is principally regarded. The readers of newspapers very soon learn to appreciate it at its proper value. In some ot our exchanges, the editorial depart ment attracts our first attention : In oth ers we never regard it at all. Editors are very much like other men. Some of them write a great deal about nothing : others write very little, and what they do write is very little worth. Some have pretty good ideas, but are amazingly puz zled to express them ; some have not the presumption to think for themselvs, but borrow the thoughts of others, and so dis figure them by anew dress, that their au thor would not know, and if he knew, would not own them. It is a pity that such would not wield the scissors more, and the pen less. Blessed be the man that invented Scissors! an Editor, could no more get along without them, than a blacksmith without his bellows, or a tail or without his goose. But even scissors fail us sometimes. Our exchanges are occasionally so barren that we find it very difficult to select from a hundred sheets, the materials suitable for a single paper. It would be a great relief to us, on the score of labor, if we could turn politician. If it were only our business and duty to stand by and support the Administration, defend its measures, laud its members,' and attack its enemies : or on the other! ha|d if it were our vocation to denounce the administration and all who compose, or tre connected with it, and to do bat* tie Tor the opposition against the powers thal be—our task would be comparatively eas]. Any man that has a pen, and a hanl to guide it withal, might write from stinise to sunset, at the rate of two col* umft an hour, upon any political subject or my political character that he has ev er Jeard discussed, whether he happens to kiww any thing about it or not—aye, as casly as a member of Congress can speak half a day upon a question before the House, without coming within hailing dis tance of the subject in debate—an exploit very frequently performed, as all the hon est electors of Bunkum can abundantly testify. Bat we must even get along as we can; and our readers are entreated to bear now and then, w’ith our dulness, and, in chari ty, attribute it rather to the dulness of the times than to us. We assure them that wc do the best we can for their edifica tion. We hasten to give them all the ac couits we can gather, of wars and rumors of wars, tornadoes, shipwrecks, and burst ing of boilers, of murders, riots, rapes, robkeries, and all such amusing matters that come within cognizance of the pub lic press. But therf is » dearth of such matter just now. Some of our Editors, most happy in invention, and some of our pen»y-a-!iners, whose business it is to manufacture “ Wonderful Accidents,” — “Thrilling Incidents,” “Runaway Match es,” &.C., have themselves run away, and the market is at present misupplied.— Wlien they come hack they will resume their labors, furnish “marvels” to order, and satisfy the public with exciting news. We may be then more amusing—and not be obliged, as now, to begin an Editorial without knowing what we arc at, and to end it without being any better informed than when we began it. Morgan' and the Devil. In the South of Wales, every one knows that in every village there are neat little ale-houses, where every thing for the comfort of the weary traveler is provided. In the neigh borhood of one lived old Morgan who was often charged with the stealing and con veying away of horses and other property. He was frequently arrested under such charges, and brought before a neighboring squire; but do what they could, never could they convict him. Therefore, they come to the very sage conclusion, that Morgan had to do with the Devil! One evening, while Morgan and some dozen of his accomplices were seated a round a table, in one of those neat little ale-houses, drinking ale and beer, some one observed that there was a report in circulation that Morgan had lately had dealings with the Devil, and requested Morgan to state the particulars. Morgan raised his glass, filled up and drank again —and said: “Gentlemen all fill your glass es—and I will relate the facts as they transpired. Now—Gentlemen—take your drinks, and I will proceed. After a pause of some ten or fifteen minutes, during which time more than one glass was emp tied, he commenced: “now you must know, I had’nt seen His Honor for a long time, when, one evening as I was walking along the brook with my wife to shoot fowls—who should I see but the old fel low limself—Well—he was dressed migh ty fiae—like a great gentleman; but, I knew him very well by the tip of his tail which hung out of the leg of his breeches. “So”—says he, why Morgan! is it you? why how are you, my hearty?” “Pretty well, I thank your honor,” said I, touch ing ray hat with reverence at the same time. “And what are you doing down here, says he, “and what’s that thing your car rying in your hand?” Said I—Oh! noth ing but iny bacca pipe, to smoke with while walking out by the brook.” Now, you Lnow the Old One is mighty fond of bacca, and he said Morgan, suppose we have a smoke, and I’ll thank you.” You’r mighty welcome, said I, at the same time handing him the gun. He put the muzzle to his mouth to smoke! Now thinks I, my old boy, I’ve got you, for you must know I wanted to pick a quarrel with him. So I touched the trigger and off went the gun “Puff!” says he, pulling the barrel out of his mouth. He stood a little to think about it, and shaking his head at me; said Damn strong tobacco, that, Morgan!” The old fellow then walked off, looking mighty huffed, and sure enough I hav’nt seen his Honor since. And that’s the way I got clear of the Old Kooii, my boys. ‘Diamond cut Diamond.’—A rare place is a menagerie, both for exhibition of the animals observed, and the humans observing. Various are the drolleries in each, which pass before the keeper.— “Have you such an animal as a Prock, in j your mentangentry?” said a back-woods wag to the President of a western itinerat ing ‘ Institute’ of wild animals.—“No; never heerd on him; what sort o’ critter is he?”—“He is a Wisconsin varmint which it is difficult sufficiently adequately for to describe. He is exceedingly fleet—in fact, very much so. He has four legs—two short ones on one side, and two long ones on the other. He always grazes on an inclined plane; and the way they catch him, is curious. They head him, make him turn round, and this brings his long legs on the updiill side—consequence of which, his short legs an't no account. He falls down, rolls over and over, and is mighty soon catched.” The apparently credulous President offered a handsome sum for a live specimen, and proceeded to hoax the naturalist in return, while he was deeply interested in a cage of playful foxes. “Them animals,” said he, “comes from Iceland, a cold country,north of Can ada a piece. They are very fond of crows’ eggs, which they steal from precipices on the sea-side. They are cunning critters —very. When they come to a spot where they expect to find a batch of nests, they make a ring, and begin to wrestle, to see which is the strongest. When they find out, the stoutest goes to the edge of 1 the precipice, takes the next neighbor’s tail in his teeth, and he takes another, and so on, till the string is long enough to hang over and reach the eggs, which are then handed out from one to another, (our greedy listener forgot to ask how,) until they arrive in safety at the top!” The J ‘prock’ fabulist retired, filled with amaze ment at the marvelous vulpine string. [Knickerbocker. We take the followingjV* <f esprit from the Boston “ Post” as not inapt to the times. We ought to mention that the Ourang was sold at auction for SIOOO. A Serious Question.— The debate ii# the Abolition Society on Monday evening was very animated. The daring proposi tion was made that the Ourang advertised to be sold by Mr. Tyler, the Auctioneer on the day following, should be rescued, as the slaves were from under the nose of the honorable Chief Justice, last summer. It was clearly proved that the Ourang was an ornament to human society—a being highly endowed with intellectual powers, and capable of appreciating and enjoying the blessings of freedom as George Thomp son himself. The ladies present appeared to take a great interest in several anecdotes related by one of the speakers, of the affec tionate natureofthis abused portion of the “human family.”—One of them (Henry Fitzgdeald Augustus Outang) fell in love with a white lady, and finding his advanc es rejected, actually died of a broken heart, but no word of complaint was ever heard from his lips. Another, (Orlando Montgomery Outang) seeing a pretty girl standing at her father’s door, seized her, and bore her to his “lofty home in a for est tree,” where he watched her, and fed her with cocoa nuts, for three weeks, when his captive escaped and returned to her fathers’s house unharmed. Several other interesting facts connected with the history of this “deeply injured race” were related in the course of the evening. The proposition to rescue before the sale, how ever was finally rejected—it being thought more consistent with the principles of the Society to restore Mr. Outang to liberty after the purchaser had paid his money for him, and by that means a suffering fellow creature would not only be reliev ed from the hand of a hard-hearted mas ter, but the master punished for his sin in dealing in Outang flesh, by being robbed of his property. What the final result will be, time only can determine. OUT ANG IS YET IN CHAINS !!!- The Usefulness of Birds—in the strict sense of the term—is sadly undervalued and overlooked. They render services to socie ty which give them substantial claims to our consideration, and which the utilitari an himself may not despise. In the following passage from Mr. Peabody's official report on the Birds of Massachu setts, made by order of the Legislature, some of these services are properly brought into view; But a more important object of the survey is to ascertain, with respect to many birds which man pursues with unrelenting vengeance, whether they are really as in jurious as is usually supposed. The crow, the grakles, and others of that description, do certainly make havoc with the corn. The cedar birds, robins, and others, make large demands upon the garden; but it is certain that the grubs which they devour, would, if suffered to lire, destroy all the promise of the year: and while wc have nothing but the birds to protect us from these destroyers, there ase some means already known, and many others will be discovered, to preveut the birds from taking more than their share. If any one will consider the subject, ho will see that insects are by far the most formidable enemy man has to contend with. The moscheto, for example, occa sions far more suffering, and is actually more feared than the lion. Other enemies equally contemptible, are busy throughout the summer torturing our beasts to mad ness, and destroying the comfort of mail.' [TERMS ft IN ADVANCE. i The birds are the instruments rnmniisini ed to keep down their numbers, and if they are exterminated, hour is this work to be done? It may be said, that, if the injurious birds are destroyed, harmless ones will still labor in that vocation; but the misfortune is that all together are not sufficient for the purpose, and if they are exterminated the evil will grow. It is well known that the cultivation’ of fruit is regarded as hopeless by many, and found discouraging by all who attempt St And the reason is, not that birda plunder the trees, but that insects distroy them. The insects then, and not the birds,.are the proper subjects of extermination. Means may be found to prerent the birda from taking more than their portion oftbe fruit, but it is not probable that human agency can contend with the millions of the insect race. If so, we are taking the part of our enemies against oar friends; and it may be our persecution^ the birds, which has caused the insects. to increase in number to such an extent, that many doubt, whether, under present circumstan ces, the more delicate kind of fruit are worth the trouble and expense of cultiv* tion. Irish Duel extraordinary. On Friday morning a duel was fought at New ton Park, between a Mr. Pigot, and a Bfr, Carroll. Mr. Pigot was attended by aMr Griffiths and a medical gentleman, the names of the other parties are unknown. At the sixth shot Mr. Pigot received bis adversary’s ball in she leg. At fonr or five of the previous shots the parties drove the ball through various parts Os each other's clothes, but they were deter mined to shoot on until either would bo hit. It is said that Mr. Pigot called for another shot while the blood was pouring* from his leg; his request, as a matter of course, was not granted. The dispute between the parties arose from a billiard table, at a late hour on Thursday night, or rather an early hour on Friday morn ing, and they did not retire to rest anti? they settled their dispute. Mr. Pifeet’s wound is not dangerous.— [Dublin Reg ister. A clear Case. A' man was brought before a Justice of the Peace for stealing a spade. The Justice asked the accuser what evidence he had to produce of the truth of the charge. “I have two witnesses who will swear that they saw him steal it.” He then demanded of the accused what defence he had to make. “I can bring twelve men who w9E swear they did not see me steal it” On which the Judge pronounced it & very clear case of twelve against two, rad! dismissed the complaint—[Hingham Ga zette.

The lady declared herself defeated, and resigned her stir hand to the gymnastic conqueror.—*^~- A Murdirous Wzapon. The Rich mond (Va.) Whig gives the following ac count of a destructive weapon in the form of a pistol: “Allen’s self cocking and six-bandied pistol, a specimen of which may be eeen at Mr. Tyler’s, is a beautiful speeugen of American ingenuity. We* have never seen anj thing of the kind to equal it for convenience and beauty, and for simplici ty and ingenuity in construction. It is small enough to be carried in the breech es pocket with comfort, and may be fired six times in about half a minute. By pulling the trigger, .the cock rises from the nipple, until it gets to a perpendicular, when it instantly falls upon thef nippje a gain with sufficient force to caueAlfoe percussion oftbe cap, - As the cock ris es, the barrels, all of which are welded to gether, turn and present a nipple to the descending cock. No movement of the hand is necessary, except the pulling of the trigger, to discharge the six barrels.” It is estimated that the Boston and Providence Railroad, and the Boston and Worcester Railroad, and the Boston and Lowell Railroad, perform the work of, at least fifteen hundred hones in the Con veyance of passengers- Allowing, fcor tons of hay to a horse for s 6000 tons of hay less per ed on those three routes, than formerly.
