! LIFE AND DEATH OF INFANTS.
Tiicre is something peculiarly attracting and
fchiful in the first few years of the existence
Ini'ina. Their tenderness—their purity—
r native simplicity—the unruffled joys and
is, that spring from hearts yet uncontamin-
i the corruptions and depeitfulness of
d—nay, their Very little wants, undis-
lifiOin the watchful eye of the parent—in-
i our hearts a depth and purity of pleas-
Itliat no oilier earthly object can afford, and
' ' i affections to them in chords as strong
Jiey are soft and endearing. I have often
light that tho early dawning* of infant exist.
K freed from tho cilres incident to our n*

rum this endearing brightness of their morn-

F° of obscure felicity—the soul is touched
P sensations that put description at defiance.
P* only who have felt, know how to appre-
r them. The struggle between ‘resignation
I "ffection—that struggle at which oyr Sav-

• . . .»—,y—^-te'e, and our own judicia-’
ry is evidently nioro heinous tlinnphy that has
preceded it: for not a petty offenee tomes un
der the cognizance of an American judge witliV
out the trial commencing with the dreadful in-
terrogative of guilty or not guilty? Well, then,
according to the flowery reasoning of the il/c*
senger,. we have only assassin-like judges and
assassin-like laws! Will the learned gentleman
inform the people, if questions of a public na
ture addressed to an individual who shows
sonic anxiety to become a public servant bo as
sassin-like, what form ought to bo applied tn
the "Bull Dog” Club that, about two years
ago, rioted on the private errors and misfor-
tunes of many individuals in no wise connect
ed with public office? Sinners, while bellow
ing under tho switch, would do well to recol
lect what crueltios they have inflicted with tho
dagger.
Tho Messenger is equally wise in asserting
that a person could not prove his innocence,
were ho asked “if he had stole [stolen] a
horse!” The interrogatory thus vaguely pro-
>ounded would indeed bo difficult to disprove;
>uf if, after the manner of llarMns, the time
and place were specified, an i the accused
brought reputable evidence that ho was three
thousand milos distant when the theft was com
mitted, not a traverse jury in the United States
would hesitate to reaper a verdict of “not guil
ty.” If tho learned editor will but take the
trouble to. attend the petit jury at the ap
proaching torm of tho Superior Court of Bibb
County, nothing is hazarded in predicting that
he will find men under oath attesting that, a
negative has been proven to them. Tho idea
of a negative being unprovable in practice be
trays about as much ignorance of logic as the
opinion that a shilling is necessary to disinhe
rit the child of a legator does of law.
It is not my intention to array myself in the
controversy against Colonel Lamar. It would
be supererogatory in me to do so. That gen
tleman is in able hands; and will receive exa:t
justice, if truth can decide right.' My intention
is merely to show that if the editor in reference
has' not acted spontaneously on the present oc
casion, the Colonel has been unfortunate in
the choice of an advocate. As the body is
useless without reason, thp faculity of writing
without thinking and thinking aright is an idle
attainment, and productive of no good, The
remark, I am afraid, is applicable to more than
the editor’s logical and legal acquirements.
In antiquities he is equally at fault. In his
surmises as to the manner in which some articles
of European, manufacture came to be mingled
•n the barrows of Georgia with the rude earthen
ware, etc. more or less in use at the present
dav byovery aboriginal tribe hence to the Pa
cific ocean, he concludes that they could not
have been brought by the Spaniards who are
supposed to have had trading houses in this
country; because the mounds on which they are
found “must have required more men to con
struct, or defend, than ever was attached to a
trad'ng company.” Now though this is a con
clusive argument against the construction of
these tumuli and of their being entirely enelos
ed within fortifications by tho Spaniards or anv
o'her people of modern Europe, it is no proof
that these people did not build fortified houses
on onr mounds for the triple purpose of conve
nience to wafer, security from floods, and a po
s'tinn commanded by no neighboring eminence.
The necessity of bread accounts for the traces
of,cultivation; and the beads and remains of
arms serve to confirm the opinion that the es
tablishments- were trading houses. Indeed the
articles' of iron retaining their shape is con
clusive proof that thov have been dopoAited
long since the tjme of Columbus. No doubt
can exist that Florida was in part settled short
ly after the inroad of De Soto; and Du Pradt,
an early settler of Louisiana, m his account
of the settlement of that province, attributes
'he failure of a French expedition against *he
Chickasaw Indians to the presence of F.nnFsti
artillery and a sfockado fort with the English
rolnrs flying over it. So it appears that, as
both Spaniards and F.nulish had peneiratcd
this country at an early period, the articles in
question,—one, the gunlock, of hut modern in
vention,—point out tho sites of trading houses
on tumuli, which are peculiar to no quarter of
tbe.elobe, and whose origin is so completely
ve’ied ns to defy tradition ns well as history.
In concluding I must express my sincere
hone that the Messenger, may in future expend
a Ettle more thought in writing and devote
more time to tho acquirement of knowledge.—
To point out his errors can afford mo no gra
tification, as l* hive no malice to cherish or
vanity to flatter. PLOUGHM5VN.

ble result thrfn that of the highly venerable and
voneraied Talbot. His long and faithful ser
vices aye known to the people.
Calumny and-siauder dare not approach his
fchapbtor, mid we shall be much deceived if
even in these times, lie does not come out of
tlio conflict like the Hebrew children without
the “smell of fire” oti his clothes.
It is believed that no one will dispute the
point with us when we assert that the politics
of this state have boon pushed to a degree of
asperity and strife which aro a “reproach to a-
ny people.” Nor do wo Apprehend that the
patriotism of him will be questioned whose
policy is based on the wish to rid us of this re
proach. We hope the time has again arrived
in which it is not absurd to ask our fellow-citi
zens to weigh this question calmly and dispas
sionately. Can there be any pleasure in non •
fishing feelings of hate aud intolerance to each
other? We here throw down the "white gaunt
let" to our adversaries, and say tolhem, let us
reason- together of this matter. Wo claim no
thing for our candidate on tho score of the de
merits of his omionenr. We offer to the peo
ple the nnmo of Matthew Talbot in opposition
to that of John Forsyth. We ofl'rr him with
hopes buoyant and animating; because we four
no rivalship on the score of long, consistent,
and faithful public servicos. We fear no com
petition for the palm of private worth and inte
grity of character, and for that equanimity of
temper and liberality of sentiment which place
him beyond'all comparison-ahead of his oppo
nent; we aio bold to declare that
• "He is a man, take him for all in all,"
"We shall not look upon his likeagaiti.”
Statesman and Patriot,
Mr. Van liuren and tie Woollen Bill.— At
a meeting lately held in Albany for the pur
pose of selecting delegates to the Stufe Con
vention, with reference to that to bo held at
Harrisburg, Mr. Van Buren announced li m-
self in favor of the project which he strongly
opposed at W wliington last winter. The Ar
gus says, he fully explained his course in rela
tion to that bill, rind insisted upon the necessi
ty of “protection” being ex ended to the wool,
manufactories, &•?. We are not a little curi
ous to see his speech reported at length, and
to learn the grounds upon which the honorable
senator has changed his post.—New York
Times,
While we regret that the circumstances
mentioned by Col. Campbell, should have made
it necessary for him to withdraw his numo at
a moment when his prospects were so flatter
ing, we cannot but express the heartfelt
gratification we havo experienced, that his
place should have been so promptly and ably fil
led by ono who stands second to notto in the
affections of tho people—one who is ranked a-
tnong the best and worthiest of men, ngainst
whom the voice of slender or reproach has
nover dared to breatho a whisper.. If an up
right, honorable and liigliraindcd course, devot
ed to the welfaro of his stato, and commanding
the respect and esteem ofall around him, can on
sure success, then his succoss is certain. Sure
ly no individual could be better adapted to allay
the violent heart burnings and ungovernable ex
citements which havo so long agitated tho state,
and it must be admitted by all, that no one
could bo motto likely to pursue an independent
and impartial course, founded upon the best in
terests of tho country, and untrammelled by
personal or party considerations.—Augusta
Cronicle. •«..
In announcing tho .name of M itlhow Tal

we feel conscious that tltero aro thousands who

TIIE MISSOURI TRAPPER.
At the sources of the Missouri, Yellow Stone,
Platt, White, Arkansas, and Red Rivers, and
on all their tributaries, that have courses in the
Rocky Mountains, the great object of pursuit
of the trappers, white aud savage, is the bea
ver. The buffalo is hunted for food, beds,
clothing, and furniture; tho other animal is
trapped for money, It is the chief means of
gain to the savages, their dependence for their
supply from the whites of arms, ammunition,
blankets, struuding, traps, whiskey, and all ob
jects of necessity and desire. To these lonely
and sequestered regions, isolated from social
nature and man by rugged and lofty mountains,
amrwide and sterile deserts, repair hundreds
of white hunters, who huut for subsistnnee and
trap for gain. They make’their way there in
armed partnerships, fitted out as a kincl of guer
rillas. Arrived at the frowning barriers of na
ture, they separate. Sometimes a pair of
sworn friends trap together.
There are not a few, who irepqjr, each by
iiiniself and as fir a* may be, from a known
haunt of another, to’ these solitary stteams and
mountains. Outlawry, necessary avarice, and
appetite for lawless, unrestrained, and unwit
nessed roving, const nit exposure to danger,
and a habit of defying the elements, of becom
ing sufficient \o themselves, the absolute neces
sity of relying alone upon their own personal
strength and resources, create an nstonishsng
compound of quickness of perception, with a
reckless confidence in their own prowess. Wo
have seen more than one person of this cast
incurably attached to solitude and d -nger, com
pared wi It which Robinson Crusoe's sojourn
on his Island was but a mere pastoral experi
ment. They furnish an impressive proof, that
there is no mode of lifo intrinsically so repul
sive and painful, but man may become recon
ciled to it by habit.
A lonely huntor, cast upon nature and the
elements, with nothing but prairies and moun
tains in view, without bread or salt, and in jeo
pardy from beasts and savages every hour, a-
midst scenery and dangers that would lend nat
urally to raiso the heart to God, trusting to no
divinities but his knife and gun, and building
all his plans for the future on traps, regarding
the footsteps of m:tn r imprinted in tho sand, as
objects of calculating apprehension and almost
equally dreading the face of whilom tn and sav
age; in sitttat ons thus lonely and exposed, he
bravos the heat of summer, tho ices aud the
mountain blast of'wutter, the grizzly bear, and
robbers of his own race, and the savages, for
years. When he has collected a sufficient num
ber of packs of boive‘% he fells a hollow tree,
slides it into somo full mountain stream, paddles
down the thousan ! leagues of die Missouri, and
is seen with a dres-i, a gait, ami m.mnors, as ap
propriate to bis pursuits as a sailor's, bustling
about tho streets of St. Louis to make bargains
for his furs.— Western Review.

NOTICE.
1 'IIF. simplified Portable Horse Saw Mill, advertis
ed in tbo National Intelligencer, is now improved,
aud well adapted to the benefit nud ease ot the lata'
liner and mechanic; first on aocount nf the chcnpness ■
of its construction, as it has neither crank or pitmn.o,
or spur wheel, cog wheel, balance wheel, truiinet head,
or wallower, andtukes only ■istee'n sticks ot timber to
compose the frame, exclusive nf the gear wo. ks, to •
drive two saws with considerable force, having bat.
little friction on account ot the trifling gear works.—
i.iccpt the carriages, saw frames, and rag wbee.is,-
tliere is but ouc wheel for the horse* to turn round,
with fifteen pegs stuck in the upper part of the rim,
which'operate against two arms let through a lor.g
beam extending over tho centre of the wheel anil
quite ecrose the mill, and there are only two other
arms let through this beam, one on each aide, and at
tached to the top of each saw frame, balancing each
other. As the long Imam is hung on gudgeons and
boxes at each cud, and as ittakeqmo power, in amana
ner, to raise up either of the saws, being on a balance,
if each gate weighed 1000 pounds, a man could work
them up and down with ease with one hand. That
being operated by this mode of balancing, the whoir-
powenof the team is applied in thrusting the saws lli *
the wood, so that a continued stream ot saw-dust, it
a ,'ing from either one saw or the other, is equal to Inc
rotary saw and much lettqr adapted for saw tog la. re
timber. To this cheap constructed Mill, I bit now
added two pumps for pumping of water, and tw o cut.
tiug khives for cutting straw; iidthe grinding cfgra ir,
ana the washing of clothes, tffe all done by *• r*e pow
er, and many other things may, with rase be added t
it with little cost, such as carding, spinning, pick-.t.g
machines, &C. It is supposed that a Saw Mill hu.it
on this plan, will aaw, in one, with two hours, fr-m
GUO to KltXt feet of plank, and double that queutity
with four hoiaus. Time, by a trifling expense, ey. iv
la.mer anil mechanic'can he supplied w ith man\ con
veniences at their door to -av- labor. Patent^ right.'
