' tHE ’ : Quaker Springs, &even miles from Augusta, on the giea i Washington road. t The frowns of fortune have brought poor Bill Garlick to anchor at this place. HE therefore gives this information to his friends (if any.) to his numer ous acquaintances, and the public in gen eral, that he has opened A House of Entertainment , for the accommodation of all decent, ci vil travellers, add tor no others. The disorderly part of society he wishes to pass by, as their absence will be a much more delicious cordial than their money; indeed he is determined not to be pester ed with troublesome company; so that the weary traveller may lie down to rest in quiet These observations are made in consequence of this place being for-.^ ( merly established as, one of great disor der and confusion,'Which, with propriety induced thousands of gentlemen to pass by. The HOUSES and STABLES, are now repairing, and will s ,on be in good order, with a general assortment of the best of Liquors; a well furnished Table; Clean Berts; a plenty for horses, with a good hostler, and a desire to please, which I hope will be inducements suffi cient for the traveller to call, if not, he must pass by.

A writer in the Savannah Republican has wielded his pen with gieqt force,and wc hope with effect, with the -laudable view of reasoning and ridiculing the young men of this neighborhood out of their gross indulgences—particularly directing his reprehension against their degrading amours with women of colour. In one of his numbers wherein he por trays the debasing tendency of such ha bits in the most striking colors, he closes in a style ol eloquence which has all the bullion without the tinsel of Phillips, in the following terms: — .9m. Watchman. -What a frightful contrast, to the en joymentsand anticipations of the wedded virtuous man ! No dark distrust, no scar ing jealousies break in upon-his repose. No odious ailment corrodes his health or corrupt frame. No disgrace attaches to his habits. No black reproach to sul ly his posthmr*ous fame. He is not a shamed to avow the object of his passi on. She is the ornament of his house, the soother of his cares, and the honora ble mother of ins lawful children, the ■centre of his wishes, the badge of his honor. His children—their birth ne v.;r crimsons his check—.creates no gloo my presentiments in His b<«om. He views himself the founder of illustri ous families. In a country like America where talents and integrity arc the pe desf.'d of promotion, he sees, in the vista of futurity, his offspring Holding the reins of the republic, guiding the destinies of the world. He lives in conformity to the laws of his country:—and he dies in peace with man.and his maker. Such are the inducements to wed— such are the .amaranthine chaplets that decorate the brow of wedded love. Love! —sacred be its name and revered its presence, when it comes pure und -spot less from the heart. ROMANTIC. ‘ The following little narrative savours so strongly of the romantic, that we should hesitate in believing it, had wc dot been told it by a gentleman who witnessed part of the transaction: A person who had made a consider able fortune in Philadelphia, as abiltch er, went on board one of the last ships from Amsterdam, which hat a number f German redemptioners, for the pur pose of purchasing one to assist him m. his business. After examining the physiognomy ol several of the passen gers, without being able to please him -elf. his attention was arrested by the tranquility and composed countenance of a man rather advanced in years, but with much appearance of -strength and activity. Not less pleased with the con versation of the German than with his e. tenor, he described the purpose for which he wanted a servant, and obtained nie man’s consent, to purchase his inden tures, provided he would also purchase those ol his wife who had accompanied him. The parties then went ashore to complete the business, attended by the captain; and upon the names of the persons being mentioned, to insert them in the writings, they were the same with these of the purchaser’s father and mother; and upon further enquiry he ascertained them to be, in fact,'his fa ther and mother, the latter declaring, that if he was their son, he had a re markable mole on his left arm—which proved to be the case! It is added, that nothing could surpass the joy of all par ties. The Providence of God had snatched the venerable pair from pover ty and servitude, and conducted them to plenty and independence, under "the protection of an affectionate son. Jf e , it seems, had runaway from his parents' when quite a boy and from the con tmual wars in £urope neither had ever < heard of the other smee. —Raleigh Meg. < i ■ •‘V: SOLOMON AND QUEEN SHEBA, mmmm ' The following well pointed v story is taken by ©’lsraeli from the Talmud: The power of Solomon had spread his wisdom to the remotest parts Os the known world. Queen Sheba, attracted by the splendour ol his reputation, visit ed this poetical king at his own court. There one day, to exercise the sagacity of the monarch, Sheba presented herself at the foot of the throne; in each of her hands she held a wreath of flowers, one composed of , natural, the other cl artificial flowers. Art, in the labour of the mimic-wreath, had exquisitely emula ted the lively hues of nature —so that ut the d ; stance it was field by the queen for the inspection of the king it was deemed impossible to decide as her question im ported, which wreath was the production of nature, and which the work of art — The sagacity of Solomon seemed perplex ed; yet to be vanquished, though in a trifle, by a trifling woman, irritated his pride. The son of David, he who had written treaties on the vegetable produc tions “from the cedar to the hyssop” to acknowledge himself outwitted by a woman, with shreds es paper and glazed pain tings! The honour of the monarch’s reputation so divine sagacity seemed diminished; and the whole Jewish court looked solemn and melancholy At length an expedient presented itself to the king, and it must be confessed wor thy,of the natural philosopher. ‘Obser ving a cluster of bees hovering about a window, he commanded that it shook be opened—the bees rushed into Hie court, and alighted immediately on one of the w'reaths w hile not a single one fixei on the other. The baffled Sheba had one more reason to be astonished at the wis dom of Solomon. [Such is the story. Mr. ©’lsraeli/ thus turns its moral. This would make a pretty poetical tale It Would yield an elegant description, and a pleasing mo ral: that the hee only rests oh the natu ral beauties and never fixes on the pain ted flowers however inimitably the co lour may be laid on. Applied to the la-! dies, this would give it pungency/] * FOREIGN. === FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT. Office of the Cbrricstin Southern Patriot. Oct 15,18 \7. From'Kingston (Jamaica) papers, recei ved at the officeef the Southern Patri ot, by the brig Mary and Sophia, arri ved last evening. Latest from the Spanish Maine.. Kingston, (Jam.) Sept. 2S. flis majesty’s schooner Speedwell, lieutenant Bavinton, 4 days from Cura cao, anchored at Port Royal yesterday forenoon; by her we received Curacao Gazettes to the 2Sd ult. from which we have copied a lew articles principally re lative to the affairs of the Spanish Main. Curacao, August 9. Thursday, the 7th of this month,.being the birth day of her royal highness Fred erika Sophia Wilhelmifia, princess royal of Prussia, dowager princess of his se rene highness William V. prince of Or ange and Nassau hereditary stadholder of the United Netherlands, &c. the troops farm!* ; the garrison of this colony were drawn up underarms atß o’clock in ihe morning, and at noon a royal salute was fired in honor of the clay. Letters from St. Thomas of the 28th ult. coming from very respectable sour ces, furnish us with the following intel ligence, received there by late arrivals from Cumanaand Margarita, which cur readers will perceive is in direct contra diction to what we published in our last, relative to the successes of gen. Morillo. Undcr such circumstances we have of ten experienced much difficulty in sta ting the posture of affairs on the Main, but whether in the present case accounts of the one party should be believed in preference to those of the other, we shall leave it to the judgment of our leaders to determine. “ The expedition directed by general Morillo against Margarita has met with an unfavourable issue. He had succeed ed so far in landing a considerable num ber of troops near the bank of the Are nas, at the same time that his squadron was menacing Pampatar. The people of Margarita conceiving thi to ne a scheme of the enemy, in order to conceal their real intent, was safely to effect a landing, left a garrison at Pampatar suf ficient to annoy their operations in that quarter, and marched with the greatest part of theif forces to meet the invaders, who had introduced themselves by the way of Arenas—alter fortifying the heights with some good corps of reserve, the independants pushed forwards to wards the shore, posted themselves in ambush, and suffered the enemy to ad vance unmolested, until they were caught in the centre, and in the middle of two fires. The surprise of the ene my was such, that according to the ac counts of the patriots, they sugared a most extraordinary and sanguinary de feat, and fled in extreme disorder. Their loss is-stated at 600 slain, and an equal number wounded, who were conveyed in < 5 vessels to Cumana, a great number dis persed in the mountains who were daily made prisoners, and some drowned in ■ the confusion to regain their ships. Three whole days had been employed by the victors to secure#the ammunition aban doned by the royalists; and it is assert ed that none of tfcese would have esca pe4 had therefctfen time for t!.e C rv I to co-operate to advantage.

We can find many of our countrymen who have been at every port of our continent, and who have not chosen the inconveniences of travelling by land. In great cities they have seen fiie pro • gress of each state, each province <§' each territory. And if they have not receded I from better to worse; from the most en lightened society to all,the feeble aids of distant settlements, they have seen from ] the first records of commerce, how much the arts of life, the intercourses of life, and the luxuries of life, have contributed to bless the condition H>f man. It. is this ] viewiwhich the commercial man delights to take. He can circumnavigate the globle to find what will bless commerce and give it protection, with more plea sure than fake an excursion of a few hours where each thing is separate. The whole is read inthe place where coin-*' merte collects all that is good for man. The following comprises a list of the placescapt.
