Indian Spring Reserve.
I N conformity to an act of the Legislature of the 22d
duy of December last" to dispose of the McIN-
TOSIl RESERVES in the county of Butts,’’ the un-
dsrsigued Commissioners have had the Ocmulgee Re
serve laid off into “four tots as nearly square as prac
ticable,’’ embracing 530 acres, and have ascertained
that there will be 34 lots of two acres, on the Indian
Spring Reserve—14 do. of four acres—10 do. of twen
ty acres, and 16 do, of thirty acres—total 72 lots.
They will therefore offer for sale, on Monday the 21st
day of April next,
THIS 4 LOTS
of the Ocmulgee Reserve, at the house of Mr. Alex
ander, ou said lands, and invite the attention of all
those who wish to purchase valuable lands. And on
the next day, Tuesday, tho 22d of April, they will
commence selling
the dots
at the Indian Springs, on that Reserve, beginning on
the two acre lots, then the four, and so on iu regular
order, until all are sold.
The two acre lot, No. 2. has on it a largo house, 74
feet by 60, built for a TAVERN, with a kitchen and
out-house. There are, also, other lots, that have hou
ses, or summer tents, calculated for rent, or occupan
cy, the ensuing season.
The sales will be made, each day, until all arc sold,
bettveeh 10 and 2 o’clock, and one filth of the amount
of the purchase money uiust he paidon the day of tale,
in terms of the law, and the balance “in four equal am
nual instalment*.” ...
A plan of the hits will be left with Col. Balev, at
the Springs for the Inspection of all persons who inny
call.
It la expected by the Commissioners, that the ad
vantages of the village contemplated at the Indian
Springs, in the use of Mineral Haler, and other tiros-
pects of health, ought, and will bring together a large
number to compete for choice, at the time of selling
tha lots.

* SNUFF.
\V bile some folks will talk in praise of tea,
Souchong, young Imou und bohea.
Orsucu-like precious stuff,
Others will speak the praise of rum,
W but good it does: and theu there’s some,
Will slug the praise of suuff.
Throughout the wide creation round.
There s‘ nut a being to he found;
But that will Irave bis pnff;
And I’m determined to have mine— .
Nor think ye luir ones, 'tis u crime
To make u dush atsuutf.
I’ve seen a dame sit idly down.
And strew the snuff o’er shawl and gown,
'Till nose and lips are both jupnaa’d,
luhuie the bltby stuff.
And more industrious ones I’ve seen.
Yet more indecent too, 'twould seem,
VV ith maimers something rough;
Who set their tables, uiuke their breud,
Wash up their dishes, comb their head,
With oue baud full ol suuff.
When e’er they send their butter down,
W ilh eggs or puulliiy to the town,
And ietir there’s not enough;
They tell the hoy he must get some,
Tobacco, sugar, tea, aud rum,
And take tue rest in suuff.
Oh! Lorrilhtrd, could you but see
Tiie havoc made, you djoin with me,
^ And say you've made enough;
For 'mougthe habits of creation,
. There’s uoue hut drfiiking, (in the nation,)
So hud as taking snulf.

breathings of spring.
What wak’st thou spring !~swect voices in tho woods,
And read like echoes that have long been mute:
T|iou bringust back to fill the solitudes*
The lark’s clear pipe, the cukoo,s voiceless flute,
Whose toue seems breathing mournfulness or glee,
E'en as our hearts may be.
•And the leaves greet the spring!—the joyous leaves,
W hose trembling gladden many a copse und glade,
W oere each young spray a rosy flush receives,
W lien thy south wind hath pierced tile whispery shade,
And happy murmurs running through the grass,
Te.ll thut thy footsteps (mss.
And the bright waters—they too hear thy call;
Spring the awakenerl—thou bust burst their sleep;
Amidst the hollows of the rocks their foil
Makes melody, and in the forest deep
Where diamond sparkles, mid blue gleams betray
Their sudden windings to the day.
And flowers—the fairy peopled world of flowers!
Thou from the dust hast sc; that glory free,
Colouring the cowslip with the sunny hues,
And pencilling the wood a neurone:
Silent they seein, yel each, to thoughtful eyo
' _ Glows with mute jioetry.
But what awak’st thou in the heart ob spring?
The huiimn heart with sll its dreams and sighst
Thou that giv'st buck so many a buried thing,
Restorer ol lorgotton harmonies!
Fresh songs and scenes break forth where'er thou art
What wak’st thou in the heart 1
Vain longings for the dead!—why come they hark
With thyyoung birds and leaves and living blooms!
Oh! is it not that from thy early track
Hope to the world may look beyond the tombs?
Yes! gentle spring, no sorrow dims thino air.
Breathed by our lov'd ones there!
MISCELLANEOUS.
Origin of the wurd Assassin.-—The Assassins
were a sort of funatics, inhabiting iho hills of
Persia, who devoted their lives to rho destruc
tion of their religious enemies. Tlioy accom
plished their base purposes by the most detesta
ble means ; and the daggers of their missiona
ries were felt by tho Christians und Mahome
tans in the East and West. They fell
at length by tho arms of the Mogul Tar
tars.
Irish . Anecdole.-^Twu Irishmen fighting
together, one of theth nocked the other down,
mnl seeing him lio motionless, thought ho had
killed him ; taking linn by tho Imud ho cried,
“O my dear Puddy; now bo after speaking to
mo and if I have killed you tell me honey !”
To which tho oilier nnswetd—“No niy dear
Mac, I un’t dead at all; but by my slioul I
um speechless.
Thu late lord Botetout, soon after voting for
the cyder tar, observed ns ho was travelling
through Hereford, that the populace were burn
ing hint in effigy. Itltediately stopping his couch,
arid giving a purse of guineas to the mob, he
said “Pray gemlrimen, if you will burn me,
bum me like a gentleman ; don’t let me linger.
I see you have not faggots enough.’*
Punishment for Seulding.-^ln the first code
of laws in Massachusetts, wo find tho following
whulesumo provision madd to restrain scolding;
Whereas there is no express punishment bv
any law hithertb established, affixed to the evil
practice of sundry persons, by exilrbitancy oftlie
tongue in railing und scolding: It is therefore
ordered) that all such persons convicted before
any court or niagistraie, that hath proper cog
nizance ofthb case, shall bo g igged hr set id a
ducking stool, and dipped over head and ears
three times in somo convenient place of IVonIi
or Salt wafer, as the cdurt or Magistrate shall
jndge meet;”
What sea would uno wish tb bo in on a

A lady named Mrs. Fortune, lately in London
presented her husband with three female twins
(un Paddy would say) at a birth. This i* ,i

To tho President of the United St it. s.
Mn.LEOUr.7ii.Le,6ec. M-). IS27'
Sir.— I have Leon requested' by the Gt uernl •
Assembly to open a correspondence with von,
in oider to facilitate tho adjustment of tho
Boundary line between this State rind Vho Ter
ritory of Florida, it is well understood here,
that until tint act of Congress, passed ltie'4'h of
May 1826, authorizing ihe 1* resident to run
mid make a lino dividing Florida from Goor-
gut, is .titered or repealed, the Chief Magistrate
of the Union lias nut power to comply with the
great expectation of the Smtu in rotation to its
Southern Boundary. This communication is *
made, therefore, under the expectation that it
will be I,till before Congress, with flitch recom'-
nu-tid.ition as the respective rights of<tte State,
and of the United States, may in your judg .
tueiit, require. Tito subject is of deop interest
to tiiis State, not from the vuldo of the land, tho
tide of which is'dependent on the decision of it,
but because the description of tbo boundary is
u purl of our constitution. To tha Uipiii it is
of little moment, except ns it affords u fair occa
sion to consult frankly the wishes Of one of its
niemtifus, and to establish a character for libe-
ruli.y to the individual State, of fur greater im
portance than die acquisition of a few hflndred
thousand acres of grid territory. It is one. too,
in winch evon a concession to the State, if tho
right were doubtful, is recoimneudod by tho
consideration that tho land which would be
gtveu up, remain 4 portion, although in a differ
out tin ui, ol ilie United Slates, and of tho re
sources of the Union.
Addressing myself to tho Government of tho
Union, to whom tho territory of Florida now
belongs, no doubt is ontertuiitod, that a demon
stration of tho right of tho State will be follow
ed by a prompt acknowledgment, arid such le
gislative provision, ns may lie necessary to se
cure a full enjoyment of it. Tlid Son hiu n lijn-
its of Georgia depend, 1st upon tho Charter tb
the Lords Proprietors of Carolina, of 1663,
Second, upou the Proclamation of tiie King bt
Great Britain of 1763, establishing the bounda
ry hoi Ween Georgia and the two Floridits, and
the Kiug’s commission of tho 30th of NtJvbm-
her, and tho 3d of September, 1783. . > -
Confining myself to tho Southern Bouridary
of the State, according to tho territorial limits
fixed in die COmpac: with the United States of
1802, it is a lino beginning at the Soutl'uni
branch of tho St. Mary’s river, thenco up tho
said river to its source, tlionco it! a direct Into
to the juuction of tho Flint aud Chattahoochio
livers. Subsequorit to the Treaty of 1782,
Spurn havmg obtained from Britain a cession of
llio Florida*, without any distinction bfliirins;
was disposed to atuko territorial pretensions ini
consistent with our rights; Tim treaty of 1795
concluded at Sim Loreuzo by Mr. Pinckney
und the Duke of Alcutlia, put au und m. ilium
preteusmiis. The 2d article of tho Treaty)
conformably to dm instructions of Mr. Jeffer

Washington's administration; describes tho lino
between Florida and tho Utiimri States (acting
lor Georgia) ui tile wotds used in the treaty of
