Ti.e mails come to us daily, freighted with the
names of those who desire to be enrobed on the
list of patrons to the Klfokmeu Kkviviu, accom
panied by the cheering and warm hearted con
gratulations of good and true Whig-, bidding us
onward ! onwaid ' ! To those who have thus
greeted our elforls wt extend our sincere acknowl
edgements for the zeal they have manifested in our
cause, and beg them to be assured that no rffrrl
shall be spared by us to accomplish the high pur
p »bca for whit n we have engaged in the contest.
To our f riends in Western and North-Western
Georgia we feel particularly grateful, the more
so, because we feared they were not entirely pre
pared to take a bold stand in defence of a sound
specie paying currency, against the rags of the
Central Bank. Their greetings are therefore
particularly grat ful to U 3, and if any thing can
increase our ardor, this will certainly have its in
fluence.
To the Whigs throughout the we say be
vigilant, be active, and with a solemn conviction
that "thrice armed is he, who hath his cause just”
march forward to triumph.
Our correspondents from every section of th e
State furnish us the most flattering intelligence
of the "lute of (be public mind, on the subject of
(he Currency and l ie Central Bank, and assure
ns, that many of those who have heretofore op
posed our course in relation to this subject will
go cordially with us. With suchjassuranees, com
bined with the justice ot our cause—we have
nothing to fear and every tiling to gain by a bald
fearless and direct course in relation lo the Cen
tral Bank. —Such a course the Hcformer-lievircd
shall maintain. L»-t the Whigs then do their
duly.

Alabama Election.
The Mobile Chronicle of the Gib instant, says :
4 The returns from the interior, look bad lor the
Whigs. In the very strongest Whig counties,
such us Monroe, Wilcor, Dallas, Montgomery,
Butler and Lowndes, the Locntacos have succeed
ed in electing a portion of their ticket—and in all
these cases, the result lias been effected, as in this
county, by Whig votes. The next Legislature
will therefore contain a largely increased Locofo
co majority, and we trust it will be sufficiently
large to enable the party to c arry out its own
measures ol Bank reform, and that it will not
shrink from the responsibility, 'i hey have been
in the habit heretofore of charging the Whigs
with defeating all their plans, and hut for the
Whiff 9, the thing would have been all ananged
at the last session ! No such excuse can be urg
ed at the next session. Tin ir majority will prob
ably be so large as lo enable them to do as the}
please ; and die people will hold them respon -
hie lor whatever is done. Let them now redeem
their pledges, and give us u sound and uniform
currency.”

Periodicals.
We have been highly favored, this week, with
periodicals, and, in addition to those already no
ticed,‘ourlacknowledgraenls are due for the| •Mag
nolia” for August, and the “Family Compan
ion,” for July ; both of which were laid on our
table yesterday. We have, therefore, but glanc
ed at their contents, and if the exterior of the
Books be any indication of the character of the
contents, they are both certainly gems ; for they
are the fairest specimens of Southern typography
we have seen, and reflect the highest credit on
their respective publishers. The Charleston
Mercury thus speaks of the Magnolia ;
‘•One thing we can say, which means a good
deal —jhe ‘‘Magnolia” has surpassed our expecta
tions. There is through the whole of these two
numbers evidence of a superintending mind at
once vigorous and independent. The discuss
ions of the foreign affairs of our Government are
strong articles —that on East India Cotton in the
present number is of the same class. 'The re
views of books are (within the limits) thorough
and discriminating, and the editorial department,
for completeness, variety and ability may chal
lenge a comparison with any monthly in the
country. There is also genuine poetry in it and
the mere matters of fancy are good of the kind.
We are proud and happy to acknowledge the
Magnolia as our Magazine and earnestly com
mend it to the support of our friends.”
We cannot say as much in behalf of the “Com
panion,” for as we remarked, we have but glanc
ed at its pages. The high character, however, of
its predecessors warrants us in commending it to
the favorable consideration of the public which
we cheerfully do.

r ‘C ome along, Hinton—rouse yourself,my bay.
L See, your caatis drenched with rain,’ soul a ftiend
ly voice behind me ; while grasping me forcibly at
the arm, the rnaj »r led me forward.
. What have 1 done? cried I, struggling lo gel
free. •Tell me—*h, tell me, have I done wrong ?
1 Have 1 committed any dreadful thing ? “Thoie is
an aching pain here —here in my forehead, as
though 1 r.uc not speak my shame.”
‘Nothing of the-kind, my boy,’ said Mahon:
‘you’ve conducted youiseli admirably. Mr. Keane
. saw it all, and. he says he never witnessed any
thing fioei: ancH.e’s no had judge, let me tell you.
* So, there, now; he satisfied and take off your wet
i dollies.”
i here was something imperative in the tone of
which he spoke; uesidej, the major was one of
thn-fc people who omehow or other always contrive
, to nave their owr way in the world, so that 1 } icl-
Utd at once, feelii g, 100, that any opposition would
1 only defer my cbaacc of an explanation.
' While i was th .s occupied in my inner room, 1
could overhear my friend without engaged in the
pri paration of a lirie ‘-upper mingling an occasion
i al olilccjtiy with ;»e simmering of gulled bone
that browned upon the tire. '1 tic clink of glasses,

a bit, we’ll talk this matter over coolly and sinsi

at once, I have arranged a meeting for you with
liuike a ! live to-morrow morning.’
1 1 gra.sp d his hand convulsively within mine,
as a gleam of savage satisfaction shot through me.
‘ir s, yes,’said he, as if replying to my looks
‘it’s all as it ought to be. Even hi> own filends are
indignant al hi.- conduct ; and indeed 1 rnay r say
it’s the first tune a stranger has met with such in
our country.’ 5
*i can believe it well, major,’ said I; ‘for, unless
from the individual m question, I have met with
nothing but kindness and good feeling amongst
you: he indeed would seem an exception lo his
countrymen.’
4 i'heicforc the ooner you shoot him the better.
But I wish 1 could see Father Tom.’
4 Adest dnmine ,’ cried the priest, at the same mo
-1 ment, as he emeied the room : throwing his wet
gieat-coat into a corner, and giving himself a shake
a Newfoundland dog might have envied. ‘lsn’t
thi- pretty work. Bob ?’ said he, turning to his
cousin wi h a look of indignant reproach , he is
not t.vcnty-four hours in the town, and you’ve got
him into a light already : and sure it’s my own
fault, that ever brought you together. Nec fur tu
na m. nec ••rattarn habes —no, indeed, you have nei
ther luck nor giaco. M uvaise tele, as tlie French
say—always in trouble. Arrah, don’t be talking
to me at all —icach me over the spirits—son a bet

tuous dream- at two in the morning. Trueeuough
die mi hi societal u/n tuum —,- but little 1 thougnt
he’d he getting you shot before you Jett the place.’
1 endeavored to pacify the good priest a* well as
1 was able ; the major, too, made every explana
tion; but wtiat b. rwcen his being called out of bed,
his anger at gening wet, and his cousin’s well
known character for affairs of this nature, it was
not before he It ul swallowed his second tumbler of
punch Thai he wmild ‘listen in ray son.’
“Well, well, n it is so. God’s will be done,” said
he with a igh 4 U i bon roup d'egree, as we used
lo say formerly, D beautiful treatment for had
blood; but may be you’re going to light with pistols
—oh, mitrthcr, them dreadful things !*
4 I begin to suspect,*said the rnajoi, iy Jy, “that
Father lom’s afraid if you shoot t lick, he’ll never
tret dial fifty pounds he won —/line i/lie lurrymu—
eh. Torn ?’
* Ah, the spalpeen,’ said the priest, with a deep
groan, ‘didn’t he »!o me out rs ttiat money alreaoy?’
‘iloiv so lathei 1 said t, scarce able to repress my
laughter at the expre.-sion of his lace.
‘1 was coming down the mam street yesterday
evening, with boctor Flunkell, the bishop, beside
me, discoursing a little theology, and looking as
pi«m- and lespcctubt.' us may be, when that villain
Burke came running out ul a shop, and pulling out
his p » kcibook, cued.
44 'v ait a bit, h .idler Tom.you know I’m a little
in your debt about that race, and as you’re a spurt
ing • naracter, it’.- only fair to book up at ouct.’
4 ‘Whai is this I hear. Father Lofluv?’ says the
bishop.
“till, my lord,’ says 1, ‘he’s a jocosus purr —a
hUM.bu_ it ; b.a’guani; u farceur t > i*ur reverence,
and ihri’s the w* y he i- always tulli:;g his jokes
upon the people.’
‘And -o lie d-cs not owe you this money?’ said
the hi.d.op, looking mighty hard al us both.’
‘Not.» farthing of it, my lord.’
‘ I hal’.-»nmioi iable, any how,’says Burke, put
ting up his pocket-book; ‘and, faith, my luid,’saiJ
he, with a w ink, ‘i wish i had loan of you lor an
h >ur or tw o every settling day, for troth, you’re a
trump;’ and with that he went off laughing till ye’d
have thought he’d ;iplit his sides —and J am sure 1
wish lie had.’
1 don’t think Mr. Buikc himself could have
laughed louder or longer at this scheme, than did
we in hearing it. The priest at length joined in
the mirth, and I could perceive, as the punch made
mure inroads upon him and the evening wore on,
th..i his holy horror of duelling was gradually mel
ting away before the warmth of his Hibernian pro
pensities. Like a wei sponge passing across the
surface of a dark picture, bringing lonh fiom the
gloom many u figure and feat me indistinct before,
and display ing touches of light not hitherto appre
ciable, so whiskey seems to exercise some stiange
pjwer of displaying its vetanes in all their breadth
of character, divrs-:ing them of the adventitious
clothes in winch position or profession invested
them: thus a tipsy I nshman stands Imth in the
exuberance of his nationality, UiUernicis Hibernior.
Forgeling all his moral declamation on duelling,
oblivious of his late indignation against his cousin,
he rubbed his hands pleasantly, and re I a tea story
alter story of his own early experiences, some of
them not a little amusing.
The ma jor, however, seemed not fully to enjoy
the priest’s anccdoiht powers, bur sipped his glass
with a grave ami sententious air. ‘Wry true,
Tom,” said he, at length breaking silence;‘you
haw seen these things for a man of «our cloth;
but when’s the man living —show him lo me, I
say—that ha*, had my « xpcrience. either as princi
pal or second; haven’t I had my our men out in
the : ante morning?’
‘Why, i confess,* .aid !. meekly, that does seem
an extravagant allowance,*
‘Clear waste, dovvmight profusion, du luxe man
e'ltr, nothing else,’ observed Father Tom. —Mean-
while the maj >r rolled his eyes fearfully at me,
and fidgeted in his chair with impatience to be ask
ed for his .-lory, and ;:s 1 myself had some cuiios-
By on the subject, 1 begged him lo relate it.
4 l oin, here, doesn’t like a story at supper,’ said
the major, pompously; perceiving our attitude of
attention, he resolved on being a little tyrannical
before telling it.
The priest made immediate submission; ami
sly ly hinting that Ins objection only lay against
stones he hail been hearing for the last thirty years
said he could listen to the narration in question
with much pleasmc.
•You shall have it, then!’ said the major, as he
squared himself in his chair, and thus began ;
‘You have never been in Castle Cm me I, Hinton?
Well, there isa\v ; de, bleak line of (he country'
there, that strctche* away to the westward, with
nothing but large, round-backed mountains, low,
boggy swamps, with here and there a mud-hovel,
surrounded by, may-be, half an acre of lumpers, or
bad oats; a few small streams struggle through
this on their way to the Shannon, but they aie
brown and dirty as the soil they traverse ; and the
very fish that swim in them are hiown and smutty
also.
‘ln the very heart of this wild country, I took
it into my head to build a house. A strange no
tion it was, for there was nr neighborhood and no
spoiling ; but. somehow’, 1 had taken a dislike to
mixed society' some time before that and i found it
convenient to live somewhat in retirement; >o that
it ihe pailridges were not in abundance about me
neither west* the process servers; and the truth
war, J Kept a much sharp«r look-out for the sub
shenffihan i d;u lor the snipe.
‘Of course, as 1 was over head and earsiu debt,
my notion was to build something very consider
able and imposing; and, lo be sure, 1 had a fine
{ portico, and a flight of steps leading up toil; and
there were leu windows in front, and a grand ba
* lustrade at the top; and, faith, taking D all in all,
- the building was so strong, the walls so thick,
the windows so narrow, and the stones so black,
that my cousin, Darcy Mahon, called it Newgate;
r and not a bad name either—and the devil another
it ever went by: and even that same had its ad
vantages, for when lire creditors used to read that
e al the top of my letters, they’d say —‘Poor devil!
g he has enough on his hands: there’s do use troub
ling him any more.’ Well, big as Newgate looked
7 from without,it had not much accommodation when
f you got inside. There was, ’tis true, a fine hall, all
flagged; and. out of it, you entered what ought to
1 have been the dinner-room, thirty-eight feet by se
i ven and-lweuty, but which was used for herding
sheep in winter. On the right hand there was a
cozy little breakfast-room, just about the size of
j this we are in. A: the back of the hall, but con
cealed by a pair of folding doors, there was a grand
staii-ca.se of old Irish oak, that ought lo have led
3 up to a great suite of bed-rooms, but it only eon
-1 ducted to one, a little crib 1 had for myself. The
remainder were never plastered nor floored; and,
; indeed, in one of them, that was over the big
e drawing-room, the joists weie never laid, which
was all the better, for it was there we used to keep
our hay and straw.
‘Now, at the time i mention, the harvest was not
’ brought in, and instead of its being full, as it used
to be, it was mighty low—so that, when you open
- ed the door above stairs, instead of finding the hay
d you, it was about fourteen feet down be-
I, neath you.
e 4 1 can’t help boring you with all these details:
first, because they are essential to my story; and
next, because, being a young man, and a foreigner
to boot, it may lead you to a little better uuder
> standing of some of our national customs. Os all
the partialities we Irish have, after lush and the
ladies, i believe our ruling passion is to build a big
>f house, spend every shilling we have, or that we
o hive not, as the case may be, in getting it half fin
ished, and then live in a corner ol it, ‘just for gran
h deur,’ as a body may say. It’s a droll notion, after
all; but show me the county in Ireland that hasn’t
at least six specimens of what 1 mention.
‘Newgale w'as a beautiful one; and although the
sheep lived in the parlor, and the cows kept in the

t and a voice called out —
:i ‘lt’s Bob Mahon, boys! By the hill of Scariff,

l There was Dan Lamoeit, Tom Burke, Harry Eyie.
Joe M’Mahon, and the rest of them; fourteen souls

s truth, to all appearance, they lost every thing bur
s their appetites. Their hoises weie dead beat, too.
and they looked as miserable a crew as ever you

. 4 J bey told U 3 you were away,’ says Burke,
t ‘S. me said you were grown so pious, that you
never went out except on Sundays,’ added old
I Harry', with a grin.
1 ‘Begad,’ said L ‘as to the luck, I won’t say much
? for ii ; foi here’s all 1 can give you for your
- dinner,* and so I pulled out the lour birds and shook
: them at thorn;‘and a.lo tne piety, troth, maybe,
you d like lo keep a fast with as devoted a sou ol
1 the church as myself.*
j ‘Hut isn’t that Newgate up there?* said one.
‘That same.’
‘AmMrou don’t mean to say' that such a house as
, Ilia* l>#n’t a good larder, and a fine cellar ?*
, 4 You’re right,* said I,‘and they are both full at
b this very moment —the one with seed potatoes, and
llu* other with Whitehaven coals.*
L ‘Have you got any baron?’ said Mahon.
J ‘Oh, yes*!* said I, .there’s bacon.*
‘And eggs,’said another,
i ‘Foi ihe matter of that, you might swim iu bat
i tei.’
‘Come, come,’said Dan Lambert,‘we’re not so
i badly off,‘after all.’
i *ls there whiskey ?* cried Eyre.
‘Sixty-three gallons, that never paid the king
, sixpence!’
‘As 1 said this, they gave three cheers you’d
; have heard a mile off.
‘After about twenty' minutes’ walking, wc got
up lo Hie house, and when poor Darby opened the
I door, i thought fac’d faint; for, you >ee, the
red coats made him think it was the army, coming
to take me away; amt be was lor running off to
i raise the country ; when I caught him by the neck.
‘lt’s the blazers !ye old fool,’ said I. ‘The geii
j tlemeu arc come to dine here.’
‘llurroo!’ said he, clapping his hands on his
. knees—‘mere must be great distress entirely .down
about Nenagh and them pans, oi they’d never
think of coming up heie for a bit to oat.’
L ‘Which way he the stables, Bob?* said Buike.
• ‘Leave all that to Darby,’said I ; for ye see he
[ had only to whistle and bring up as many people
as he liked —and so he did, 100 ; and as there was
room for a cavalry regiment, the horses were soon
bedded down and comfortable; and in ten minutes’
i time we were all silling pleasantly round a big
fire, waiting for the rashers and eggs.
‘Now, ii you’d like lo wash y our hands befoie
dinnei, Lambert, come along with me.*
: *By all means,’said he.
4 1 he others were standing up 100 ; but I obser
ved, that, as the house was large, and the ways of
i it unknown lo them, it was belter to wait till I’d
tome back for them.
' ‘This was a ie.«l piece of good luck. Bob,’ said
Dan, a« he followed me up stairs—‘capital quarters
we’ve fallen into ; and what a snug bed-ioum ye
, have here.’
* Vos,* said 1, carlessly ;‘it’s one of flie small
rooms —there are eight hke thi , and live large
ones, plainly furnished, as y ou see; but for The pre
set: f, you know —’
‘On,
sleep hen —the other fellows may care for y our
funi-posters with satin hangings.*
•Well.* said I, ‘if you aie really nut joking, I
may Tell you that the room is one of the warmest
in the house’—and this was telling no lie.
‘Here I’ll sleep,* said he, rubbing hi- hands with
■ di iudion, and giving ihe bed a most affectionate
look. ‘And now let unjoin the rest.’
‘When I brought Dan down, I took up Burke,
and ailei him M‘Mahon, and on to the last; but
every time 1 entered flic parlor, 1 found all bestow
ing immense praises on my house, and each fellow
lead v lo bet he had got the best bed room.
‘Dinner soon made its anpearance ; for if the
cookery was not veiy perfect, it was, at least,won
derfully’ expeditious. There were two men cut
ting rashers two more frying them in the pan, and
another did nothing but break the Eggs ; Darby
running from Hie parlor to the kitchen and back
again, as hard as he could tint.
‘Du you know now, that many a time since,
wht n 1 have been giving venison, and Burgundy,
and claret, enough to swim a life boat ia, 1 often
thought it was a cruel waste of money; for the
fellows weren’t half as pleasant as they were that
evening on baton and whiskey!
•I’vea theory on that subject, Hinton, I’ll talk
to you mure atout another time; I’ll only observe
now, that I’m sure we ail over-feed our company'.
I’ve tried both plans; and my honest experience is,
that as far as regards conviviality, fun, and good
fellowship, it is a great mistake To provide too well
for your guests. Ilure L something heroic iu eat
ing your mutton chop, or your log of a turkey',a
muog jolly fellows; there is a kind of reflecting
flalit iy' about it that tells y ou, you have been invi
ted foi your drollery, and not for your digestion;
and that your jokes, and not your flattery, have
been your recommendation. Lord bicss you 1 I’ve
laughed more over red-herrings and potteen than
I ever ext eel to do again over turtle and toquay.
‘My guests were, to do Them justice, a good illus
tration of my theory. A plea>anicr and a meirier
parly m-ver sat down tcgethcr. Wo had good songs
good stories, plenty of laughing, and plenty of
drink; until at last poor Darby became so overpow
creo, by the fumes of the hot water, I snppo.se,
that he wbs obliged to be carried up to bed, and so
we were compelled to boil the kettle in the p uior.
This, I think, precipitated mailers; fur, by some
mistake, they pul punch into it instead of water,
and the more you Lied to weaken the liquor, it was
only’ the more tipsy you were getting.
‘About two o’clock, live cl the party’ were under

forwards, like insane pendulums, ami the rest were
mighty noisy, and now and then rather disposed to
be quarrelsome.

the same thing to y ou, i’ll slip away, ai.d gel into

*<)| course, if you won’t take anything more.—
Just mal.c yourself at home; and,as you don’t kuow
Ihe way he»e, follow me!’
‘l’m atraid ’ said he,‘Til not find my way home ’
‘1 think, said I,‘its very likely'. Bui, come a
long!’
‘1 milked up Mairs before him; but, instead of
turning to Hie ffft, 1 went the other way, till I
came to the door of the large room, that 1 have
told you already was over the big drawing-room,
1 ust us I pul inv hand on the lock, I contrived to
blow out the candle, as if it was the wind.

step in, ;u.J 1M go tor a light.’
‘He did as he was bid; but, instead of finding
himself on my beautiful little carpel, down he
went foui teen f. et into the hay at the bottom. 1
looked down after him for a minute or two, and
then called out—
“An i am doing the honors of Newgate, the least
I could do was to show you the drop.
‘ ‘Good night, Dan! but let me auvise you to get
a little larther from the dour, as there are mue
coming.*
‘Well, sir, when they missed Dan and me out of
the room, two or lliice more stood up, and declared
for bed also. The first I look up was Ffrcnch, of
Green Park; for indeed he wasn’t a cute fellow at
the best of times; and, if it wasn’t that the hay
, was o low, he’d never had guessed it was not a
, feather bed till he woke in the morning. Well,
down he went. Then came Eyre! Then Joe
i Mahon—two-and-Uventy stone —no less! Lord
pity them!—his was agreat shock entirely! But
when I opened to door for Tom Burke, upon my
conscience, >ou’d think il was P ndemonium they
had down there. They were fighting like devils,
and roaring with all their might.
4 ‘Good night, Tom,’said I pushing Burke for
) ward. -It’s the cows you hear underneath.’
i ‘*Cowsl’ said be. ‘lf they’re cows, begad, they
; I must have got at that sixty-three gallons of potteen
I yon talked of; foi thy *re all drunk.*
‘With l ost, he snatched the candle out of my
i haul, .. c locked d -wn into the pit. Never was
such a-i Jo seen before or since. Dan was pitch
ing iMw pv-or J- Bench, Ffrcnch, who, thinking he
, had an enemy before mm, was hitting outmauful
- Iy at an old turf-creel, that rocked and creaked at
? every blow, as he called out —
i “I’ll smash you ! I’ll dingc your ribs for you,
- you infernal scoundrel!’
, ‘Burke was struggling in the hay, thinking he
, was swimming for his life ; and poor Joe Mahon
, was patting him on the head, aud saying,*Poor fel
; low! good dog!’ for he thought it was Towsei, the
r bull-teiricr, that was prowling round the calves of
- his legs.
t ‘lf they don’t get tired, there’ll not be a man of
1! them abliveby morning !’ said Tom, as he closed
- the door. ‘And now, if you’ll allow me to sleep on
d the carpet, I’ll take it as a favor.’
n ‘By this lime they were all quiet in the parlor ;
li so I lent Burke a couple of blankets and a bolster,
o aad, having locked my door, went to bed with an
- easy mintend a quiet conscience. To be sure,
g now and £pn a cry would burst forth, as if they
a were killing somebody below stairs ; but I soon
if fell asleep and heard no more of them.
i- ‘By daybreak next morning, they made their es
d cape; and when 1 was trying to awake at half
d past ten, I found Colonel M’Morris of the Mayo,
- with a message from the whole four.
e ‘A bad business this. Captain Mahon,’ said he ;
1, 'my friends have been shockingly treated.’
g ‘lt’s mighty hard,’ said I, ‘to want to shoot me,

‘They* will be the laugh of the whole country,

y ‘There’s not a man of them can see!—their eyes

‘The Lord be praised !* said I. ‘lt’s not likely

te ‘With this, there was a roar of laughing fron

>y CHAPTER XXIX.
il ■ THE DUEL.
When morning broke, I started up and open
hi ed the window. It was one of those bright and
k beautioua dayoreaks which would seem to be the
t- compensation a northern climate possesses lor its
’ want of the azure sky of noon aud the bilvery
( iT moonlight of night, the gifts of happier climes.
Tne pink hue oi the sky was gradually replac
’ ing the paler tints, like a deep blush mantiling
f the cheek of beauty ; the lark was singing high
m heaven, and the deep note of the blackbird
r- came meiiowed from the leafy grove ; the cattle
*• were still at rest, and seemed half-unwilling lo
break the tranquil stillness of the scene, as they
lay breathing the balmy odours from the wild
n flowers that grew around them. Such was the
lt picture that lay on one side of me ;on the other
a was the long sheet of a little town, on which vet
u the shadows of night were sleeping; the win
dows were closed ; not a smoke-wreath rose
r ’ liom any chimney, but all was still and peace
ful.
u In my little parlor 1 found the good priest and
the major fast asleep in their chairs, pretty much
m the same attitudes 1 had left them some hours
h before. The fire had died away; the square de
ir canter of whiskey was emptied to its last drop,
k and the kettle lay pensively on one side, like
some shipwrecked cruft, high and dry upon the
bore. 1 looked at my watch ; it was but four
o’clock. Our meeting was appointed lor half
past five ; so I crept noiselessly hack to my room,
s nut sorry to have hall an hour to myself of undis
turbed reflection. When I had finished my dres
t sing, I threw up the sash and sprang out into the
garden. It was a wild uncultivated spot, but
blill there was something of beauty in these old
trees whose rich blossoms scented ihe air, while
ilio rank weeds of many a gay and gaudy hue
-hot up luxuriantly about their Hunks—the pink
marsh-mallow and the taper fog-glove mingling,
0 their colors with the sprayey meadow-sweet, and
the sweelbner. There was an air of solitude in
the neglect around me that seemed (o suit the
’’ habit of my soul; and I strolled u!ong from one
j walk to another, lost in my own thoughts.
There were many things at a moment like that
t I would fain have written—fain have said; but so
3 it is in the wealth of our ( motions we can give
- nothing; and I could not bring myself to write to
' my friends, even to say farewell. Although I
J felt that in every stage of this proceeding I had
nothing to reproach myself with, this duel being
thrust on me by one who had singled me out for
s his hatred, yet I saw, as its result, nothing but
1 the wreck ot all my hopes. Already had sue in
i' timated how strong was her father's attachment
to his nephew, and with an expressive tear cau
tioned me against any collision with him. How
vain are all our efforts, how fruitless are all our
' endeavors lo struggle against the current of our
, fate! We may stem for a short lime the full
’ tide of fortune—we m-y breast, with courage
' high and spirits fierce, the rough billows as they
break upon us. but we are certain to succumb in
? the end. With some men, failure is a question
of fear—some want the persevering courage to
drag on amid trials and difficulties—and some are
f deficient in the temper which, subduing our ac
i lions to a law, governs and presides over every
moment of our lives, rendering us, even in our
1 periods of excitement and irritation, amiable to (
' ! the guidance of our reason.
Tfiis was my case ; and I felt that, notwilh-
I j standing all my wishes to avoid a quarrel with *
, Eurke, yet that in my Jiearta lurking spirit urged (
me to seek turn out and otter him dt fi ince. While
these thoughts were passing through my mind, 1
suddenly heard a voice which somehow seemed (
hall-fam liar lo my ear. 1 listened: it came from
; a room ol which the window was partly open. I
! now remembered that poor Joe lay in that part of
the house, and the next moment I knew it to be j
i his. Placing a ladder against tho wail, I crept
quietly anti! I could peep into the room, "i he ’
p‘*or fellow was alwii.-—silling up in his bed.
, | with his hunting-cap on, an old whip in his band
; which he flourished from time to time with no
small energy; his cheek was flushed; and his eye,
I prominent and flashing, denoted the accss of high
lever. It was evident that his faculties, clouded
as they were even in their happiest moments,
were now under the wilder influence of delirium.
|He was speaking rapidly to himself in a quick |
j undcr-tone, calling the d<»gs by name, caressing .
i this one. scolding that; and then, bursting forth
into a loud tally-ho ! his lace glowed with an v
! ectactic pleasure, and he broke forth ini > a rude *
chant, the words of which I have never forgotten,
for as he sung th in in a voice of wild and toucSi
ing sweetness, they seemed the very outpourings
of his poor simple heart.
) “1 never yet own’d a horse or bound, 1
1 never was lord of a foot of ground; <
Yet few ore richer, 1 will be bound, \
Than me of a hunting morning. j
“I’m tar belter off nor him that pays,
For though I’ve no money, I Jive at my ease.
With bunting and shooting whenever I please, k
And a tally-high-ho ia the morning. 1
s
“As i goon foot, I don’t loose nay sate, J
As I uhq the gaps, I don’t break a gate, t
Aud if I’m not first, why I’m seldom late, f
V* ith ray tally-high-ho in the morning.
“And there’s not a man, be he high or low, d
In flic parts down here, or wherever you go, 1
Tim doesn’t like poor Tipperary Joe, i
With his tally-higfi-ho in the morning.”
A loud view-holloa followed this wild chant,
and then the poor tellow, us if exhausted by his
efforts, sank back in the bed, muttering to I.im- t
self, in a low, broken voice, but with a look so
happy, and a smile so tranquil!, he seemed more ,
a thing to envy, than one to commiserate and
pity.
4 I say, Hinton,’ shouted the major from the c
window ol my bedroom, ‘what the dcuse arc you
doing up that ladder there? not serenading Mrs. j
Doolan, 1 hope. Are you aware it is five o’-
clock F c
1 descended with all haste, and, joining my t
friend, took his arm, and set out towardsthe ren
dezvous. :
•1 didn’t order the horses,’ said Mahon, ‘for the
rumor of such a thing as this always gels abroad j
by one’s servants.’
‘Ah, yes,’said I,‘and then you have the po- j
lice.’
•'The police !’ repealed he laughing; “not a bit ]
of it my boy : don’t forget you’re in glorious old
Ireland, where no one ever thinks of spoiling a t
fair fight. It is possible the magistrate might is (
sue his warrant it you did not come up to the
time, but lor any thing else ”
•Weil,’said I, ‘that certainly does afford me ]
a..oilier glimpse of your habits. How lar have ,
we lo go, major V
‘You remember the grass-field below the sunk s
fence, lo the left of the mill V t
‘ Where the streams runs V
‘Exactly, that’s the spot. It was old Pigolt {
chose it, and no man is a better judge of these
things. By the bye, it is a very lucky that Burke
should have pilcned upon a gentlemen lor his ,
friend—l mean a real gentleman,—lor there are (
plenty of his acquaintances, who, under that
name, would rob the mail.’ y
Thus chatting as he went, Mahon informed
me that P«gott was an old half-pay colonel, whose ■
principal occupation for thirteen years had been
what the French would call to assist at affairs of ,
honor. Even the major himself looked up to him
as a last appeal in a disputed or a difficult point;
and many a reserved case was kept for his opin
ion with the same ceremonious observance as a ,
knotty point of law for the consideration of the
twelve judges. Crossing the little rivulet near
the mill, we held on by a small by-path which
brought us over the starting-ground of the stee
. j pie chase, by the scene of part of my preceding
| day’s exploits. While I was examining with
same curiosity the ground cut up and trod by the
hursts’ feet, and looking at the spot where he had
: taken the lence, the sharp sound of two pistol
shots quickly aroused me, and I eagerly asked
> what it was.
, ‘Snapping the pistols,’ said Mahon. “Ah, by
t the-bye, and all this kind of thing is new to you:
. never mind; put a careless, half-indifferent kind of
3 face on the matter. Do you lake snuff? It doesn’t
f signify; put your hand in your pockets, and hum
•Tatter Jack Walsh!’
As I supposed there was no specific charm in
j the melody he alluded to, nor, if there had been,
had I any time to acquire it, I consoled myself
. by observing the first |part of his direction, and
, strolled after him into the field, with a noncha
a lance only perhaps a little too perfect.
> Mr. Burke and his friends, to the number of
y about a dozen persons, were already assembled,
Q and were one lo judge from their loud talking and
hearty laughter as we came forward, it would
[f seem difficult to believe the occasion that brought
>, them there; so, at least, I thought. Not so, how.
ever, the major, for, with a hop, step, und a jump,
; performed by about the shortest pair of legs in
the barony, he sprang into the midst of the par
” ty, and with some droll observation on early ris
ing, which once more called forth their merri-
ment. Seating myself on a large moss-covered
stone, 1 waited patiently for the preliminaries to
y be settled. As I threw my eye among the group,
I perceived that Burke was not there; but on tum
iS ing my head, I remarked two men walking arm
m-arm on the opposite aide of the hedge. As
* they paced to and fro, I could see, by the violence
of his gesticulations, and the energy of his man*
Id ner, that one was Burke. It seemed as though
,n his companion was endeavoring to reason with,
I and dissuade him from some course of proceed
t~ ing be appeared bent on following; but there was
a savage earnestness in bis manner, that would I
ir not admit of persuasion; and at last, as if wearied!
and vexed by bis friend’s importunities, he brokel
rudely from him, and, springing over the fence,!
1_ called out, ‘Pigott, are you aware its past six?*—!
te Then pulling out bis watch, he added, ‘I must bel
at Ballinasioe by eleven o’clock.’ ]
m ‘lf you speak another word, sir,’ said the colo-|
ot nel, with an air of offended dignity, ‘I leave tbeJ
,1c ground. Major Mahon, a word, if you please.’ m
, r They walked apart from the rest for a few stfl
r S conds, and qhen the colonel, throwing his glofl
if upon the grass, proceeded to step off the gromH
with a military precision and formality, that^H
am sure, at any other time, would have higher
amused me.
After a slight demur from iLe mijor, to which
I could perc-dire the colonel reiduy yielded, a
walking stick w„s stuckai either end of the mea
sured distance, while tho two seconds, placing
themselvta beside them, looked a. each other with
very great satisfaction, and mutually agreed it was
a sweet spot.
‘Would you like to look at these 1 ’ said Pigott,
taking np the pistols from where the; lay on the
grass.
•Ah, I know them well,’ replied the major,
laughing; -these were poor Tom Casey’s, and a
better fellow, and a handier with his iron, never
snapped a trigger. These are ours, colonel;’ pre
senting, as he epoke, two splendid.looking Morti
mers, in all the brilliancy of their maiden fresh
ness. A look of contempt tiom the colonel, and
a most expressive shrug of bit shoulders was his
only reply.
•Begad, I think so,’ said Mahon, as if apprecia
ting the gesture; ‘l’d rather have that old tool
with the cracked s ock—not but this is a very
sweet instrument, and elegantly balanced in the
band.’
•We are ready now,’ said Pigott: ‘bring up
your man, major.’
As I started up to obey the summons, a slight
busile near attracted me. Two or three of
Burke’s friends were endeavoring, as it were, to
pacily and subdue him; but bis passion knew no
hounds, and as he broke from them, he raid, in a
voice perfectly audible where I stood, ‘Won’t I,
by G—; then I’ll tell you, if I don’t shoot him— ’
‘Sir,’ said the colone I, turning on him a look
of passionate indignation, ‘if it were not that you
were here to answer the appeal of wounded hon
or. I’d leave you to your fate this moment; as it
is. another such expression as that you've used,
and I abandon you on tbe spot.*
Doggedly and without speaking, Burke drew
his hat far down upon his eyes, and took the
place marked out fur him.
‘.Mr. Hinton,’said the colonel, as he touched
his bat with ihe most courteous politeness,-will
you have the goodness to stand there.’
Mahon, meanwhile, handed each man bis pis
tol, and whispering in my ear -aim low,’ retired.
•The word, gentlemen,’ said ibe colonel, -will
be, one. two, three. Mr. Hinton, piay observe, 1
beg of you, you’ll not reserve your lire alter I
say (hrei*r* With his eyes fixed upon us, he
walked about ten paces. ‘Areyou ready, aie you
both ready!’
‘Yes, yes,’ said Burke., impatiently.
‘Yes,’ said I.
•One, two, three.’
I Idled my pistol at the second word, and as
the last dropped from the colonel’s lips, one loud
■ eport rang through the air, and both pistols
went off together. A quick, sharp pang shot
through my cheek, as though it had been seared
by a hot instrument. 1 put up my hand, but the
ball had touched the flesh, and a few drops of
plood were all the damage. Not so, Burke; my
ball had entered above the hip, and already his
trowsers were stained with blood, and notwith
standing his endeavors, he could not stand up
straight.
■ls he hit. Pigott?’ cried he, in a voice har.-h
from agony. ‘ls he hit, I say 1 ’
•Only grazed,’ said I, tranquilly, as I wiped the
slain from my face.
‘Another pistol—quick. Do you hear me, Pi
gott?’
‘We are not the arbiters in this case,’ replied
the colonel, ccolly. ‘Major Mahon, is your
friend satisfied?’
‘Perfectly satisfied on our own account,’ said
ihe major; ‘hut if the gentleman desires another
shot ’
•I do, I do,’ screamed Burke, as, writhing with
pain, he pressed both hands to his side, from
which the blood, now gushing in torrents, formed
a poo! about his feet ‘lie quick there, Pigott, I
am getting faint.’ He staggered forward as he
spoke, his face pale, and his lips parted; then,
suddenly clinching his pistol by the barrel, he fix
ed his eyes streadiiv on me: with a curse he
hurled the weapon at my bead, and fell senseless
to the earth. His aim was true, for straight be
tween ihe eyes the weapon struck me, and Idled
me lo the ground. Although stunned for the
moment, I could hear the ciy ol horror and in
dignant shame that broke from the bystanders—
but the next instant a dreamy confusion came
over me, and I became unconscious of what was
passing around.

Commencement Week.
The entertainments of the present week, have
been of the interesting character usual on such
occasions. The lateness of the hour at which
we write, and the space at our command, will not
permit us lo enter into particulars, or make any
comments upon the performances separately.
The Commencement sermon was delivered cn
Sunday by Duct. Few; on Tuesday morning was
the Junior Exhibition ; in the afternoon we had
an address before ibe Alumni Society by H. V.
Johnson, Esq. distinguished by great force of
thought, elegance of diction, useful and practical
suggestions, and fervent piety; and at night Col.
J. H. Lumpkin attracted a large concourse of citi
zens and strangers to the Methodist Church, to
hear him upon his favorite topics—the evils of
intemperance.
The speakers of the Junior class were as fol
lows :
H E. Gibson, Quincy, Fla. Public Opinion.

The Degrees were then conferred upon the
graduating class, and other alumni of the institu
tion, accompanying which was an able and feel
ing address by the President.
The exercises of both days were enlivened by
music from two Augusta Bands, whose services
were engaged for the occasion.
In the afternoon and at night, the young ladies
es the Female Academy held a Fair, which Was
well attended; and their receipts fully equal to
their expectations. We trust that in dispensing
the charitable fund thus acquired, the hearts of
many us our poor may be made glad.
On Thursday the address before the literary
Societies of Franklin College was delivered by
Judge Law of Savannah. Os this address it is
only necessary to say, that the high teputalion of
the learned and polished author was fully sus
tained.
Os the proceedings of the Board of Trustees,
the most important is the new organization of the
Faculty. In consequence of the withdrawal of
the 6,000 appropriation by the last Legislature it
became necessary so to arrange the Professorships
as to dispense with two of the chairs, and reduce
the salaries of the others 20 pet cent. This the
Trustees have very reluctantly done. The Fac
ulty, however, is composed of the same number
as it had in 1830, when it was in ts flourishing
a condition as it ever has been since ; and we
doubt not that it will be found still quite sufficien
for ail the purposes of imparting sound and use
ful instructions in all the branches belonging to a
Collegiate course. Two vacancies having occur
red in the Board, by the resignation of Judge
1 ood, they were filled by the
Grand Project.
Beisxbt of tbe New York Herald is nut with
what be calls a magnificent ”project for the ad
vancement of Liitaature and Science. He thus
sketches his plan in an address to the -Axeri
CiS PCBUC.”
“ We propose to publish original tales, novels,
travels, sketches, poetry, or scientific papers, writ
ten by American authors. We propose to nnnt
and publish such works, in the shape of Extra
Litsbakt Heralds, just as often and aa last as
they can be issued from our vast printing estab
lishment, to the extent of once, twice, or thrice
a week. Tbe form of these publications is lo be
like that of the Weekly Herald —‘he price
ceois per single sheet, and in proportion for each
additional sheet. These works will be published
in editions of 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000 copies,
so as to give a cheapness that may ensure their
extensive circulation and popularity.
Tbe terms which we offer to all American au
thors are these'The cost of printing and pub
lishing, at the lowest cash piices. is first to be re
imbursed out of the receipts—the profits, af.er
this deduction, is to be divided equally between
the publisher and the authors, as fart as tkese
profits arc received, weekly or monthly. I’he re
ceipts on every new edition arc to be divided rn
the same principle.”
Tyler Convention is Ohio.—The Colum
bus Journal slates that “the Tyler party” ol Ohio
met in that city on the Ist. “The number par
licipaiing in the proceedings (says the Journal)
was 37. What portion of this number atten
ded as delegates lo the Locofoco Young Men’s
State Convention on Thursday we are una
ble to say. Mr. D. Smith, the editor of the
Western empire, the Locofoco organ at Dayton'
is one of the 37, and has been appointed one of
the committee to report resolutions.”
A letter received by a member of Congress,
from his friend in Columbus, dated 2d inst. says:
“Yesterday, the Tyler State Convention as
strublcd here at the capital of our Slate. The
North gave up ; the South kept not back ; the
East and the West met together. This great
Convention was duly organized in the old court
room, within the bar, numbering in all twenty
two.'’
The receipts on the Boston aud Albany Rail
road fur six days ending on the 30th July, were

between man aud man. Thu’ endowed with a
good uaimal mind, he was unambitious of public

DIED,
At her residence in Appling. Columbia coun
ty, Ga., on the 23d June, 1842, Mrs. Ann I!.
Dawson, wife ol the Rev. I)-. T. H. Dcwios.
She was the daughter of Col. Hugh and Mrs.
Mary Blair; was born 10th of June, 1811 —and
was brought to the experience of personal reli
gion at Wheat’s Camp Ground, Lincoln county
Ga., in 1827, and soon after joined the Methodist
Episcopal Chuico in Appling, of which she re
mained a worth member till God called her lo
himself. She was united in marriage to Dr. D.
23d us February, 1830. Our beloved sister Daw
son was remarkable for her devoted piety in all
the relations of life ; —as a wit-, she w as prudent,
faithful, affectionate, and kind, to a proverb. As
a mother, she was surpassed by none in endeav
oring lo train her little ones up in the nurture
and admonition of the Lord. As a mistress, she
always manifested a lively interest in the wclfoe
of her domestics, not only for their bodies, lhat
they might be well fed and dollied, hut lor lln-ir
souls, that they might he pardoned, sanctified,
and saved ; and for this purpose, she took great
pains to have them attend on the ministry of the
word. She even went farther, and took delight
in reading lo them the Holy Scriptures herself.
She was a Christian whose light was always
shining. Her Methodism was consistent; —no
one ever saw on her, or any of the family, anv
superjiuities of dress. Her house was always
the home of the ministers of Christ; and while
she loved all for her Master’s sake, she had a pe
culiar regard for the Itinerant ministers, because
she used to say, they had leftall for Christ’s sake.
Her frith never falteicd ; when the day of pain
ful affliction and trial came, she was ready. She
seemed to have a presentiment ol her death for
three weeks before it took place ; told her hus
band she did not want to live, only that the will
of God might he done. When he asked if she
did not wish to live for her children’s sake, she
replied, "I can commit Ihem lo the care of Gou.”
After many exhortations lo her husband to live
near lo God, and meet her in Heaven, she gave
him special directions concerning her children,
and requested that they should be biought up lo
dress plainly, adding, lhat she did not regret her
own course in reference lo these tilings.— Sue
then gave to all her friends and relations her dy
ing charge, to meet her in Heaven, and finally
requested her husband to send lo the farm, (near
by) and have the seivants brought, lhat she
might see them, and give them her dying advice.
It was done; —and she told them farewell, and
obtained from them a pledge to meet her in heav
en-
The closing scene came on, and she repeated.
“I’ll praise my Maker while I’ve bicath,” and
then she said,
“ Jesus can make a dying bed
Foci soft as downy pillows are,
While on his breast I lean my bead.
And breathe my life out sweet I v there.”
i hc-.-e were her last words, and they wcie ut
Ured in a whisper; soon afier ibis, he sweetly
and quietly fell asleep in Jesus. O.i the 24iii,
the writer of this notice preached her funeral -cr
mon, from Rev. xiv 13, “ Blessed are ihe dead
who die in the Lord.” The spirit of the Lord
was verily present, and all wept, but God’s chil
dren rejoiced with joy unspeakable, and full of
glory. Our departed sister has left behind one
of the fondest and kindest of husbands, and four
children to mourn her loss.

I PRINCIPLES.

portant principles, the REEORITIER, Revived, will ad
vocate the elevation of HENRY CLAY, of Kentucky, to

The REFORMER, Revived, will be as large as its predecessor, the
r Reformer, published in 1840, which will contain more reading matter
than any paper in the state except the Weekly Chronicle and Sentinel, de

Prospectus.
A YEW FEATURE.
The Proprietors being desirous to commence the work at the earliest possible day, in order to
produce a healthy state of public opinion on the subject of currency, propose to the friends of a
Sound Circulating Medium: IF ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ADVOCATES OF A
SOUND CURRENCY WILL EACH ENCLOSE TWENTY DOLLARS IN GOOD
MONEY, AND THE NAMES TO WHOSE ADDRESS THEY DESIRE THE PAPER
SENT, WE WILL COMMENCE THE WORK EARLY IN AUGUST. Now is the
time for the advocates of a Sound Currency to have their sentiments promulgated, and we will see
if they are equal to the crisis.
In presenting to the People of Georgia, and in fact the whole South, for it is net designed to
be a mere local paper, the Prospectus ol a new paper, to be devoted to the principles for which wo
have so zealously contended, some explanation of our design may not be inappropriate to a just ap
predation of our object.
For many years we have seen the downward tendency of things produced by the mal-adroinia
tration of the General and State Governments. —We have seen, and who has not, the best curren
cy that any government ever afforded its citizens destroyed, and an irredeemable paper currency
substituted in its stead—the national honor disregarded and the national credit prostrated—the
Executive branch of the Government descending Iromhis dignified station to mingle in the politi
cal contests of the day, and directly endeavoring to corrupt the people by the influence of his pa
tronage —the Executive himself disregarding the expressed will of a large majority of the Congress
of the Union and vetoing bills on mere questions of expediency, virtually making himself a su
preme dictator, commanding what acts shall, and what shall not become laws ! these are only a few
ol the evils under the influence of which the country is groaning, and it is for the purpose ot ren
dering our feeble aid to remove the burthen which has cast such a blight upon the enterprise, in
dustry and prosperity of the people that we propose to publish the “Reformer Revived.”
Our object is to render it a medium of communication so cheap as to place it within the reach
ol every man in the country, to have it find its way to the palace of the opulent and the Log
Cabin of the poor, to invite them to a calm investigation of the causes which have led to our
- disasters, and to invoke their co-operation to remove them, by a restoration of a sound currency
of uniform value throughout the Union, the re-establishment on a firm basis of the national cred
it, the preservation of the of the and ,by compelling the State Banks to redsem
their obligations. And to whom can we appeal with greater confidence for support and counten
ance in this important work than the working men, the industrious laboring classes, who constitute
the great mass of the people, and who are more deeply interested in a sound cuirency than any
other class in the nation 7 None —none. We repeat, to none can we appeal with more confidence
for snpport than the worthy laboring man, and the enterprising man of business, to whom if you,
i secure a sound currency, every department of business will prosper and the nation move forward
in her onward march to greatness and glory.
Tothe hands then of the advocates of a sound National and State Currency, the supporter* of
law and order, do we commit our project and invoke their aid in a cause in which they in common,
with ourself are so deeply interested. Give us your aid: support, and sustain us in our effort*
against rotten banks, and furnish us with the means to enable us to send the Reformer Revived,
to every man, woman and child in the country, who can read and reflect, and sooner or later will
its influence be felt, aud the heart of the patriot gladdened with the sight of a sound specie curren
cy usurping the place of irredeemable rags.
We ask every man who can conscientiously lend us his countenance in this good work, to take
our prospectus and form clubs in his neighborhood often, twenty, fifty or an hundred subscribers,
and we pledge ourselves to enlighten the people, to expose the evils and to point them to the remedy.

TO ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN
STEAMBOATS AND VESSELS.
f|NHE proprietor has two Marine Railways, (one
I that has been in operation foul years, for ves
sels of 200 tons and under,) and a new one more
i particularly for Steamboats. Boats 200 feet long
can be taken up, (or vessels of 500 tons.) The
advantage to Steamboat owners hereabouts is very
considerable ; first, the risk of sending a boat to sea
when she wants repairs, and that on the most dan
gerous coast in the Union, then the time and ex
, pense of a long voyage, then the article of fuel
, alone, that would he required to take a boat to the
North, say from Wilmington, and bring her back,
would in an ordinary way cost more than her Rail
way fees would amount to.
The facilities of repairs arc as follows ;
i We can start a gang of carpenters, Caulkers, and
• joiners, of about thirty men, or more if required.
A Blacksmith shop is attached to the establish
ment, and I am authorized by the President of the
Wilmington Sc Raleigh Rail Road Company to say,
that work oi any description (except shafts,) can
, be done at their Depot here.
Carpentering, caulking, and Joineis work is car
ried on at this establishment, and all kinds of Spars
are furnished.
Price for taking up Steamboats 50 cents per ton,
and after 24 hours 10 cents per ton per day. Ves
sels 30 cents per ton, and after 24 hours 10 cents
per ton per day. Pine wood for Steamboats can
1 be had at $2 per cord. JAMES CASSIDY.

I TAKE this method of informing the people of
Georgia, that I have recently returned from
a New York, where I have provided my-elf with
every variety of instrument and apparatus neces
j sary in the practice of Surgery. Operative Surgery
; has advanced during the last few years, at a more
1 rapid rate, perhaps, than any other branch of the
healing art; so that diseases and deformities but a
.’ short time since regarded as irremediable, are now
.’ treated with almost unvarying success —such as
e Strabismus or Squinting, Club-foot, Distortions of
the Spine, and certain cases of Stammeiing. In
- regard to the older operations in Surgery, such as
the operation for Gravel, Cataract, Hair-lip, See., 1
deem it unnecessary to say more, than that 1 have
- procured new and improved instruments for the
e periormance of many of them,
n N. B. Medical Students taken and prepared for
d College on reasonable terms, and as good oppmtu

as yet known, on account of its being stom
achic and tonic. It is prepared entirely from plants,
and is warrant ed to contain nothing injurious to
the human constitution. This being its first in
troduction in this place, consequently itsvirtues are
but little known, but in Europe, and the different
cities in the United States, where it has been used,
it has never failed of complete success. Itmay h
given tochildren at any age, and in all instance
where it fails of success in destroying every
any kind of worm, after a fair trial, the raeaep
will be refunded.

THE ONLY CERTAIN REMEDY FOR
FEVER AND AGUE ! I
THE original Rowand’s Tonic Mixture, fox
Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, and Narrow
Weaknesses, can now be had only in its full
strength, genuineness and pn.ity, under its present
name of '• ROWAND’S IMPROVED TONIC
MIKTI RE,” being now prepared again solely by
the author himself, at No. 28 North Second Street,
Philadelphia. Look for the written signature oi
the original inventor and proprietor, JNO. R. RQW
AND, over the mouth of each bottle, without
which it cannot be genuine. Any one -01110 will
have the audacity to forge said signature, in the
nefarious attempt to palm upon the public a spu
rious imitation or counteifeit, will be liable to the
’ state prison.
K.B. With & view tu re-establish entire confi
’ 2f ECC efficiency of “ Rowand’s Improved
1 Tomb Mixture,” to effect a lasting cure of Fever
and Ague, the proprietor restores the original guar
antee, vii: The money shall be returned in every
case wherein the remedy has been punctually wedl
without producing the desired effect.
