It Is bestowing almost too much attention upon this loose and reck less writer, but as he has figured exten sively during his jaunt through this coun try, it is nothing more than he deserves to have a passing notice: At home, Mr. Dickens has endured as every aspiring young man must, in the progress of his career, the silent neglect, or what is worse, the active patronage of the aristocracy. lie has felt his dignity as a man—the heaven derived and aspiring man— assaulted and wounded by musty and barbarous usage. He has seen not merely the corpse, but the strong panoplied active body, and powerful spirit of the Norman conqueror and his barons, riding over the genius of the nineteenth century. He has seen at home merit trembles cringe and starve, while rank has been led and pampered by means wrung outot the despised people. The veritable Char les Dickens—the man who wrote pov erty’s and humanity’s sad drama, Oliver Twist—who is known wherev er the English language is spoken, by virtue of his own mind—not the beg garly, social alms-man of a departed ancestry—not the retrospective ap pendix "of a family vault, supported by gilded coffins—not these but a primitive identity who stands erect, self-relying, self-supported—a thinker and an actor in his own age—a foun- lain of truth for the living, not spunge of folly ftont the dead—this man Dickens, so armed and incited, has seen himself looked down upon as inferior, if seen at all, by the artificial creations of King and Lord. So re garded at home, but writing for the people, he earned a reputation which echoed to this country, and rebounded across the Atlantic with redoubled lulious. Here, Mr. Dickens found nothing to look up to. A great num ber of facts and but few symbols met his view. He is not the first foreig ner who has been in a similar di lemma. The head will grow dizzy if on an unaccustomed height, no matter how many heads arc iu company. The character ol Mr. Dickens is fix ed. He cannot get over the influ ences of education. He looks up to established rank. Finding none uni versally recognized here, he was at a loss ; he cannot now reconcile him self to the fact that human nature is seif-honored. If his object be to degrade man, simply as such—man without title or family—he is in a fair way of succeed ing if he persists in uttering his views of a society which he hardly ever saw. His observations were confin ed principally to the pigs in the gut ters of New York and lothe imported misery of Five Points. We have no quarrel with Mr. Dickens.— We wish a less ticklish position than that which he holds among the great, so called, of his own land. lie has lost the genial admiring sympathy of his country, and perhaps he may take re fuge in the smallest favor thankfully received, such as was bestowed on Mr. Bulwer when he obtained a Baronetcy.

After Mr. Dickens had been ren dered illustrious, partly by our ap plause, he came among us. When was the pen ever so honored ? Ink- shed triumphed for once over blood shed—the pen overcrowned the sword. The author because the hero. A trading population—a yard stick, pound weight,cent, percent, commu nity, left of! measuring; weighing and calculating, forgot the nounce staples and dollars, to do homage to simple, manly genius, that had nothing to be stow but its intellectual riches. A great theatre was thrown open. Art, poetry, living beauty, political and military dignity, civic worth, all con tended therein to do him honor. There was no patronage for him. It was homage. Who is there here to assume a social apex, and squint ap provingly ^on original genius? That Mr. Dickens did not find. He went to Washington—he found the Presi dent living like other people, and he was received as an equal. Doors flew open to him—hospitalities, friend- lv ads and counsels every where attended him. If his books has been before him, and he could not travel inoognito, why did he write them ? But for the sequel. The man so situated at home, and so treated here, pretends to describe local manners which he had no oportunitics ol study ing.—Guided by the spirit ol grati tude he would have been tolerably safe. In painting the areefla of pri vate life, a tolerable kind view ol it —a philosophical understanding of its good points and its foibles, would have secured him against his errors. We do not hesitate to say that the sketch of the “genteelest society - ’ of New York, so put forth by Mr. Dick ens, is as untrue in fact as it is un grateful in spirit, and comes from him, of all men, with most unseemly grace towards the people of that splendid city, who treated him so nobly. We have been occasionally in New York society, and never witnesed such flaming vulgarities as Mr. Dickens depicts. We never saw young la dies in indecent positions in rocking chairs, or heard their fathers twad dling to Englishmen about ‘‘nation’s noblemen,’" and so forth. We never saw a militia “general” behave like a blackguard in that society. All—all is caricature—an ungrateful heart dictated the whole of it. We do not hesitate to say that Mr. Dickens was very, very seldom, if ever, offended by personal or national allusions while in this country. On this head we quote the following, from Mr. Buckingham, a British authority, gpeaking of Canada, he says: “Every opportunity is seized of dis paraging America and the Ameri cans, and speaking of them with un measured contempt, more of this fcelin A friend remarked the other day to us that a buisness that is “not worth advertising is not worth doing.” There is much truth in the remaik, but a truth that does not seem to be appreciated by most of our business men. It is left tor us editorially to tell the public abroad that business is done in this city, instead of giving the information through our advertising columns. Many men think to cease advertising is economy, that is reduces expenses, that if they have but little business to do it is not worth adverti sing, if they do a great deal there is no use of advertising less useful than insuring; is it less useful than a sign; is it 1 ess essential to a good business stand ? We think not. A man does not buy his goods to keep them on hand. If he did, it might be will to insure without advertising. Again, advertising it like a travelling sign. No business man will hesitate to pay OUR PRINCIPLES. In editing and publishing a newsptper, whether it be Political, Religious, Com mercial, or Miscellaneous, two very impor tant considerations are presented to the mind of the editor: 1st, The paper is to be made interesting lo all classes: 2d, It must advocate its principles, or those of its party, with coolness, candour, deliberation, and honesty—and farther, it must possess itself with a spirit of fearless independence. This we expect to accomplish in every number of the Herald, so long as we con tinue interested with it. We are identified with the great whi party—believing as we do, that the national polity inculcated by this party is conducive lo the best interests of the United States and, in strict accordance with the Constitu tion. But, we shall not be expected to hoist our satis to every breeze that blows during the present canvass—nor do we ex pect that every portion of the county or state is to dictate lo us, with reference to the many notions of different men, that may spring up, during the heat ot the ex citement : but, we will sustain our ancient land-marks, holding fast to the Constitu tion, through weal or woe. We shall support the United States Bank, and all her votaries—and, as often as opportunity may be afforded, will consider its claims upon the U. S. Likew ise, our reasons for dissenting from the opinions and acts of Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, will be given in due time. We are in favor of a Tariff for revenue —a reasonable tariff—one that will defray the ecomical expenses of the General Gov ernment. With the foregoing principles, together with the general good ef c-ur fellow citi zens, we commit and commend ourselves to the good people of Georgia—with this twenty dollars for a sign where he would never think of paying half the sum for advertising. The one is a sign seen only by those who pass the store, and can see the goods that are for sale as well as the sign. The ad vertisement is a eomprehersive sign that comes under the eye of hundreds who will never see the sign over the door ; yet some pretend to argue that because s&me men have done a good business without advertising, adver tised is unnecessary.—They might as well argue that because some men have made money without industry, industry is unnecessary. There is another light in which it appears incumbent on men to adver tise. It is the duly of a people to af ford the publishers of papers a com petent support, so long as they desire to have them. Those citizens, most interested in the business of a place dislike to be without a newspaper. They are either a public blessing or a curse. If the latter abandon them, if not, give them such patronage as will draw from them the greatest amount of utility.— Wheeling Times. A LADY’S MAN NO MORE. Curious eases come frequently be fore the New York Courts. Here is one as singular as any, reported in the Journal of Commerce. Mr. Quin is certainly one of the politest of his sex. U. S. Court.—Before Commissi an- er Itapalje —Telling a lie to oblige a Lady.—Hugh Quin was brought in custody to be examined on charge of having broken the seal of a letter, di rected to a Mr. James Murray, which had passed through the Post Office. The committal of such an offence bo ing imprisonment for one year and a fine of three hundred dollars. The letter carrier proved the de livery o f it to a young ladv, who was then in court, the wife of the said Mr. Murray, and the latter teslified that he had been given the letter by the prisoner, with the seal of it broken, and that on his inquiry of him who opened the letter, the prisoner con fessed to him that he had done it. So far the case was quite clear against the prisoner, and in his defence, Mrs. Murray, the wife of the complainant, assurance on our part, that the Herald shall ever be watchful over the interests of Georgia—and with the further promise that our columns shall everbe filled with such matter as may be calculated to edify and enlighten our readers. Those papers, with which we ex change, East of Griffin, Geo., will please direct their paper, via Griffin. The fifst No. of the Herald is sent to many persons, by request of their friends, with the hope that they will subscribe for it. Those who decline supporting the Herald, will please return the number sent, and write their names upon the margin^ together with the Post Office where it is received. Persons subscribing for the Herald, can remit their subscriptions by mail, free of charge, by getting the Post Master, either to write the letter, or franking it. This is in conformity to an Act of Congress, re specting the Post Office Department, and for the encouragement of literature, com merce, agriculture, &c. OUR TOWN—ITS PROSPECTS. There are but few towns or villages in Georgia, so envied as LaGrange. The citizens, kind, affable, generous, wealthy. Her schools not surpassed by any other place in the state ; the teachers of the finest talent and accomplishment. We have nine schools—and, unless our judg ments have been grossly deceived, there are none more prospering in ali Georgia. The names of the teachers are, Messrs. Jos. Wilson and Rev. Otis Smith, of the Brownwood Institute: Rev. C. P. Beman and O- B. Arnold, of the LaGrange High School: Uev. John E. Dawson, assisted by Mrs. Dearing, Female Seminary : Mr. John Park, assisted by Miss M. Kelsy, Female Academy. A school for Elocu tion, taught by Mr. S. A. Copeland—it is in a flourishing condition—and will add much to the ability of the professions. We understand that some seventy or eighty pupils are now receiving instruction in that valuable science. A school of local Music, consisting ot some forty or fifty pupils, taught by Col. C. D. Weeden : and a school ol Instrumental Music, consist ing of some eighteen or twenty young gen tlemen, taught by Mr. M. Higby. Like wise two infantile Schools—one taught by Mrs. Stokes, and the other by Mrs. Cooper. We have three denominations of Chris tians, viz : Baptists, Methodists, and Pres byterians. all generally attended with in terest. The Rev. J. E. Dawson is the pastor of the Baptist Church; Rev. W. M Cunningham, of the Presbyterian, and Rev. Caleb W. Key,of the Methodist E. Church. ,We have a splendid Masonic Lodge, entitled, “Union Lodge, No. 2S,” consist ing of fifty-five or sixty members. Like wise a Chapter, consisting of some twenty or thirty members. Both of which are in a flourishing condition. We have no regular bred drunkards living in our town—old Bacchus died in this place about ten months since, under the treatment of Dr. Taylor, Temperance Reformer. We have a direct communication be tween the North, South, East and West— daily stages running to Alabama and Caro lina every day ; North and South, tri weekly. The travel through this place is equal to any other point, in Western or Southern Georgia. Our market is generally stocked with a well selected assortment ot goods, by ou r merchants—who, in point of moral worth and business qualification, (taken in a body.) have but few equals and no superiors. We could say a great deal more ot LaGrange, but, we fear that onr motives may be impugned ; suffice, for the present, we have a good assortment of Lawyers, Doctors. Carpenters, Bricklayers, Coach- makers, Shoe-makers, Tanners, Wagon- makers, Blacksmiths, (any quantity,) Tinners, Cabinet-makers, Taylors. Board ing Houses, Taverns, Saddlers, Hawkers and Pedlars, Shavers, Sheriffs, Constables, Clerks of Courts—and last ol all, we have no jail, nor no tenant, if wc had one. If the good people of Muscogee, or any other county, desire to know what has be come of a certain Senator of the U. S.> we think that it is in our power to inform them. And, in giving this information, we wish it to be kept a profound secret, as we dont want ourselves to be known as the in former in this matter. Sometime in the night, on the 14th Au gust, there was considerable commotion here, respecting the arrival of the Colum bus Hack : little or nothing was learned from this packet, until Tuesday, 15th, when, suddenly in front of the Post Office, the Senator made his appearance. He was armed capapie, with Cooperism, Calhoun- ism, and Van Burenism. Every body that passed by, from the nobleman down to the peasant, received (heir portion in due season. Several persons attempted to slip in a word edge-ways, but this was impossi ble—the Judge’s tongue seemed to have been oiled so well, that nobody was heard, in all the harrangne, except himself: this appears to be proverbial with the Judge. His chief employment, while here, wc be lieve, was political disquisitions, and law, in the day-time urging upon the Whigs repentance towards the democrats, and at night, warning sinners to return lo God 1 He says, that every body is wrong “ that was examined, and from her evidence dont go into bis views,” this he has told Toronto towards the institutions and people of the United States, in our short stay of three weeks, than I had heard of censure or condemnation of English institution and English people during all the three years that we have passed among the Americans. * * * We heard more a- buse of America and Americans from the mouths of British Canadians in a lew weeks than we had heard of En gland or the English in the United States during as many years.” Mr. Dickens would have thought more of the Americans if they had thought less of him. What is very easily gained it would seem by some latal rule, is little prised. Mr. Dick ens cannot overtop the edifice of courtly conventionalism. Boast as lie may, lie has not arrived at that point when he can philosophically look at man as heaven has made him, and not as lie is caricatured bv insli- it appeared that on receiving the let ter her curiosity tempted her to open it, which she did, and finding that it Indeed, I heard ; contained nothing that interested her, expressed in site became anxious to have it deliver ed to her husband But as It happen ed that just at that time, there existed between herself and fief husband one of those little interhwfed of love, com monly called a coolness, which now and then takes place “in the best of families,” the lady was unwilling to let her husband know that she opened the letter, and requested Mr. Quin to say that he did it, and Mr. Quin thinking himself bound in common politeness to tell a lie for the lady, and little dreaming of the trouble it was to cost him. at once complied with her request, and shortly after found him self a prisoner in the United States Court, undergoing an examination for a high crime and misdemeanor. As the lady’s evidence exonerated Quin from any crime except that of telling the lie. he was discharged, and when leaving the Court frequently vowed that he would never again tell a lie for a ladv as king as he lived. us, while wc were writhing under his ar gumentative powers. In giving this infoimation, to our friends of Columbus, we ask in turn, that they in form us whether our guest had not been laboring under an attack of political mania previous to his departure—if not, what has caused such an unusual excitement, as to drive him from home, to seek shelter in our peaceful town. We guess, “ that they expect some danger nigh, where they possess delight.” Yes, the thing is so—we are up abd doing, and beg our friends to do likewise. “Let us watch and pray, lest we enter into tempta tion.” • NEW LIGHTS AND TYLKRITES. A few, and very few, of this class of people, reside iu this portion of Georgia. Wonder what induced certain of the New Light party to quit the ship in >40 ? Some thing strange—something rotten in Den mark, we guess. Nobody can tell what is meant by the forward and backward somer sets of certain men who once wore the ha biliments of Whiggery, Anli-Subtreasury* Anti-tariff, U. S. Bank, and Nullification. We say that nobody can tell, because we re gard the Fox and the Weegle party too cunning to be imposed upon by a mongrel. That there will be offices vacant, (and not a few of them,) provided Malty or Johnny Cataline, either, should be elected, nobody doubts—because “ to the victors belong the spoils,” times past, times present, and times to come : and, we reasonable con clude, that the old tariff, sub mission! union, or soap-tail party, (as the name may be,) will not consent for the New Lights to ride over them into the cabinet bureau—they love a little of the good things of this life too well: they have not forgotten the luxury of Swartwout, Price, Harris <$• Co. Will there ever be such flourishing times fot Democrats again ? We guess not. But, there is another class of people living about here, or somewhere else, who say they are Tyleriles : poor fellows—we heartily pity them—like a ship without a helm or sail, they are tossed to and fro by the billows. What do they go for'? What are their measures ? Alas! alas!! they have no measures, and they go for “ no nothing.'" What a rumpus would be kicked up by these new faudangoes, if Malty shou d be elected :—gracious!—just think how many clever fellows would be choused out of of fice, and how many that wanted to go in, but could not, would, we think, be enough to satisfy all the half starved office hunters in the U. S. The following we lake from the Wil mington N. C.Chronicle; let the Tyleriles io this section, if any there be, read and ponder. MR. TYLER AND MR. CLAY. The statement mat Mr. Tyler cried when it was known that Mr Clav would not re ceive the nomination of the Harrisburg Con vention, has not been disputed. He de clared he would never have come to the Convention but for the hope of getting Mr. Clay nominated. And furthermore, as if to signalize himself as, par excellence, the Clay man of the nation, he expressed him self in the strong language quoted below at the dinner given to the Convention Dele gates by the Whig members of Congress. Why is it ihat^tr. Tyler now evinces such deadly hostility to Mr. Clay ? People have a right to suppose, either that he was one of the rankest of hypocrites when using the language ol the annexed extract, or that he is something quite as bad at the present time. “I do declare, in the presence of my Hea venly Judge, that the nomination given to me was neither solicited nor expected; I went lo the Convention in honor or Hen ry Clay; and in the defeat of the wishes of his friends, I as one of them, made a sacrifice of feeling, even though my own name was associated with that of Harrison.” The Columbus Enquirer says, Thos. Bug Benton hails the signs of the times as indicative of llie restoration of the Jacksonian Policy.'' What do Mr. Calhoun’s friends say to this 1 Van Buren seems to be using the great “ Soli tary” as a kind of extinguisher upon the Southern light. It is a fight in which we have no concern—who has V’ Why, we suppose, Irom the nocturnal visit paid us by a certain Senator from Muscogee, and from the rumpus that was kicked up by him, while here that there is a considerable stir in the wigman. Go it ye Locos, we begin to “ smell a mice.”— Ed. Herald. Whigs of Troup, be on the watch-tower —the election is near at hand—the Demo crats are manccuvering—shuffl.ng is the order of the day—and we are expecting a few more candidates out—some fence men, some locos, some mongrels, &c. A word to the wise is sufficient. Melancholy Accident.—We are in formed that on Tuesday, 29th ult.. while returning from the Harris Catnp-mceting; the mules of Mr Win. Walker, took flight, and inn away with thecariiage, which con tained his tv ife, son, two young ladies, and a servant woman. The mules striking the bridge, which is over Mulberry creek, bieaking the railings,and one falling over, caused the driver to spring from his seat, and open the carriage door, front which, the too young ladies sprang out upon the bridge: Mrs. W. was so much alarmed as not to be able to get out; when, the driver linding that the carriage would be thrown over into the water, attempted to prevent it— but, it was too late—the whole of the re maining company were precipitated into the creek, which was at that, time, so me 10 or 15 feet deep. The driver succeeded in saving himself and one jle. The son of Mr. YV. swam out. The rest were all drowned. Thus, in one brief moment, this 'ovely companion, wife, sister, Iriend and mother, was called into eternity.— “ From tbe water her spirit flew, To return lo God who gave it.” What a lesson does the above teach us who live and enjoy this life :—how soon may we be called into the presence of Him who made us. It teaches us the importance of Christianity ; the certainty of death— the shortness of life—and how essentially necessary it is that our hearts should be suitable prepared to meet our Maker—lest, THE COLUMBUS GUARDS. On Sunday night, the 20ili ult., our citi zens were agreeably surprised, at the arrival of the Columbus Guards; a volunteer com pany, commanded by Captain S. A. Bailey, who had been on a military campaign of pleasure in several of the adjoining coun ties. The gallant commander, together with his officers and well disciplined company, were cordially received by our lellow-citi- zens. The camp was struck in a beautiful grove near the Methodist C'hur.h and Female Academy, whither many o( the citizens re sorted to welcome this gallaut little corps On Monday, the Guards were paraded at j now be able to publish something else, be The last of the Semijjoles.—Last week we had only time to notice the return of Gen. Wortli from a visit to the Indians near Tampa Bay. In that visit he was accom panied by General Hernandez and the Hon. I. H. Bronson. There remains in the Ter ritory, now, only a small party, of whom Apiaca is the Chief. He and his people evince every disposition to be quiet and peaceable. Having had time to discover that their companions in arms were gone, and that the tide of settlement, sweeping over their once cultivated and widely ex tended fields, is now fast hurrying them within the narrow limits temporarily as signed them, they seek only peace and en deavor to cultivate the best understanding with those already their neighbors. Their limited numbers and their narrow territory will force them to be quiet. They now lie at the mercy of the whites. As an evidence of their sincerity, we may mention that their visits lo the Post at Tampa Bay, for the purpose of trade, are constant; and their intercourse with the settlers, whether at the Post or in the woods, is most friendly. We hesitate not to say that “the Florida war” is not only ended, but that it will '‘stay- ended.” Emigrants may now seek a resi dence here with as much safety as in any part of the country.
