WASHINGTON BIRTH DAY. /[
Last Friday was the natal day of the great
good Washington. Tlie citizens of Augusta e * j
bratrd it by a civil ami military procession k*ch |
proceeded to the Presbyterian Church, lere |
Farewci.l Address was read by Harris, j
and an address delivered by John E*q- ■
We are innrli gratified to observe spirit in our
sister city, and regret that th*’ day/&* HOI publieally
celebrated by our ciy*&#.
ff le annul* *•* mankind are adorned but by few
such c^by** 11 *JJ*he clean ms of goodness and
i up him whose birthday
as a nbiless mirror of eon
sistency—a a angle flaw. It was a
pure and limpid stream, that, from its source, pursued
frits way into the ocean of ifntity rutiled, at times,
by the tempest, hot never mingling with aught that
was not unsullied as itself; —dashing, ever and anon,
over the rocks that would have impeded its course,
but broke, merely for a moment, the current, which
again flowed ou in tranquil mnjcatity. Like the
stream, too, which diffuse* fertility whenever it wends
—which graces the garden or gladdens the desert—
the current of this good man's life has assisted in
transforming the \\ ilderness into a blooming parterre,
rich with the fairest flowers and fruit that can ever
spring from Freedom's holy soil!
It has been said emphatically, but with more of
poetry than truth, that “Death loves a shining murk.”
The arrows of the grim tyrant are ever directed
with imptftiaf aim. They pierce, alike, the weak
ami the strong—the mighty and the humble. With
equal velocity, they reach the proudest eminence, or
divide the clouds of the darkest obscurity. No height
is above, no depth bejow, their dread certainty. It
is only as the “mark’’ is more “shining,” that the
nm>w’ flight ignore observed. The memory of
him who** life hnffeeen unadorned by alight of bril
liant exploit, uncharacterised by chequered event, or
unmarked by exemplary excellence, may soon fade
ttiyay from the mindsof men, save where it is cherish
ed, deeply and devotedly, but unobtrusively, in the
-hearts of the bereaved family circle, and embalmed
by the tears of the few fond friends. But the world
know a nothing of tiic loss which has been sustained;
and sheds no sympathizing tear with the mourner*
that are left behind. A few ltours, perhaps—a few
days, at the most—glide by, and the grass grows
above the rentingof the deceased ; and no one pan
•ses to inquire who moulders beneath ;—the wild brier
may cluster, ill tangled luxuriance, around the mar
ble destined to perpetuate his name and fame; the
damp moss may hide the chiselled story ; and the
incurious eye coldly glances on the spot, while not a
hand is stretched forth to avert the ravages of time
or rescue from oblivion the memory of its unconsci
ous victim.
Such has been the fate of the great mass of man
kind. from the creation of the world unto the present
day,—and such will it continue, to be, through all
ages to come. To this general and sweeping desti
ny there have been numerous exceptions—many for
good, many for evil. Pome is not always honorable,
ami oblivion would J>e. sometimes a blessing, which
--uses. The page which tells of the ex
ceilence of an Adrian, proclaims, too, the vices of u
Nero, —the trumpet that sounds the goodness of an
Alfred, rings the infamy of a Richard. When the
snow-topped mountains of Switzerland resound the
virtues of a Tell, the echo of the avalanches returns
the tyrannies of a Gessler ; and the spirit-stirring
story which depicts, in colors of living light, the pa
triotism of a Washington', reveals, in darkening
shades, the treachery of an Arnold !
It is well that it should Ik* so. It is thus that be
fore us are held, that we may mark and mistake not,
guiding stars to lend us to good, and beacon lights to
warn us from evil. Forcible and direct appeals are
thus made, not merely to the selfish interests and pre
judices, but to the purer and holier feelings of men
We may not all attain the greatness, but we may
emulate the goodness, which we admire; and we
may certainly avoid the ill which we deprecate and
abhor.
Every age of mankind, as far as can be distinctly
traced, has afforded some being, towering in the
majestic might of mind or virtue above his fellow’s,
whose departure has been mourned as a calamity,
not merely by the nation of his birth, but, oftentimes,
as a bereavement to be deplored by the whole world.
The poet indulging in the admitted license of his art,
may have spoken the language of even more than en
thusiasm, when he exclaimed, upon the fall of the
Polish hero, that
Hope, for a season, bade the world farewell,
And Freedom shrieked
but his couplet is strikingly and beautifully illustra
tive of the reverent admiration,of the deep sense of
dependence, with which the mass of mankind is ac
customed to look up to superior excellence, and the
intense grief, bordering on despair, w ith which it
sometimes regards departed worth. But grief, how
ever justly awakened, however violent its exhibition,
is not unfrequently mingled with rich and diversified
topics of consolation. A nation may mourn the
loss of the warrior chief wrhose light has been sud
denly quenched in blood ; of the statesman, cut off in
the very’ prime of usefulness, whose last throb was
for his country’s good,—but it is not always that the
sun is darkened in his meridian height, and when he
sinks peacefully to rest, after having run his appoint
ed course, the shaddows of evening bring with them
nothing to turn from or to dread.
It has been thus with him whose name stands at
the head of this article—whose achieve cents we
profoundly admire, and whose virtues we deeply re
vere. One by one, the patriots of the stormy period
ofour nation’s infancy have been gathered into tlieir
kindred sheaf, leaving, here and there, but a linger
ing remnant to mark the field where the plough-share
es the destroyer has driven its furrows. The links
which connect the days of seventy-six with the pre
sent, are severing fast. Old generations are passing
away, and new are rapidly stfßceeding.
The remains of Washington moulder in a soli
t -try famfty vault at Mount Vernon —without a stone
toteli the jHgrim who sleeps within. But his name
iwed not be mgraven on monumental marble—it is
vamped on tlicwarm tablets of the living heart. It
i> not to be prest-ved by th • myrrh and frankincense
of panegyric—it c embalmed in the dearest affec
tions of .He. 1 1! The nn-eantry of sepulchral illumi
nation is not required—the holy halo of a country's
gratitude will encircle it Isrever.
SL3 The splendid paintings of “The
Temptation of Adam $• Eve,” and “Ex
pulsion from Paradise,” are now exliib
-1 itinsjr in this city. To the lovers of the
1 fine arts, this a fiords an opportunity of en-
I joying a pleasure which seldom occurs here.
■ The subject is one of deep interest. They
are copies from Debuffr , a favorite pupil
’ of the celebrated painter David, by a native
i American artist. There was something

\\ (■ understand that General Nelson has offer
ed to raise volunteers to the number nuthoriz-

Florida borders. HisofTer will we understand,

be ordered to take the place of the troops
whose term of service has just expired. Gen.
Floyd will continue as chief of the command.
Gen. Nelson, we understand has expressed his
willingness to accept a command subordinate
to the former. Both these officers it will be
remarked, thus act in the service of the State
in subordinate positions to their military rank;
Gen. Floyd having been acting as Colonel, dur

such be will continue to act, while Gen. Nel

act during the ensuing campaign, as ht. Col

The Savannah Georgian of last Wednesday
informs us, that a “company of Cavalry from
Bullock county under the command of Captain
Boss, has tendered their services to Governor
Gilmer to serve in the Okefinokec district
against the Indians.”
The citizens of A/clntosh should bear in
mind that the election for Delegates to the Re
dacted Convention is ordered for the first A/on
day in April next. We trust the low county
will be careful and send to that body men of
talent, experience and firmness. Jt is not a
political question—hut one in which citizens of
all parties should feel ndeep interest, and upon
which the future welfare of our section of
country principally depends,—a just and equal
representation.
Mclntosh County will be entitled to three
delegates, and it is hoped that the names of
suitable gentlemen will early he presented to
to the people. ,
A considerable excitement appears to have
been aroused in Philadelphia by the following
circumstances. Mr. Goweu, who owns a large
building adjacent to the Exchange, has been
tilting it up with great splendor, and has orna
mented the front with marble columns, not un
like those of the Kxchangc itself These stand
directly upon the boundary line of his land, so
that no one can leave the house without step
ping upon land belonging to the Exchange.—
This Company, not wishing to have their inte
rest in the land silently forfeited, offered to let
the right of passage over it for SSOO per annum;
which offer being refused they proceeded to
run up a brick wall directly in front of Mr.
Gowen’s marble columns. The first day’s
work, over three feet in height, was torn down
al night, but at the last accounts the workmen
were again bnisy in prosecuting their object,
while the whole city was divided in opinion as
to the rights of parties. The piece of ground
in dispute was used as a thoroughfare, by all
citizens wishing to go to the Post Office and
the public rooms in the same building.
For the Herald.
THE DRAFT.
Mr. Editor: I perceive by your last paper
that the Governor of our state has called upon
the different Battallions for a regiment of five
hundred mounted men for service against the
Indians in the Okcfinokee Swamp. Sixty
mounted men are to be obtained by voluntary
enlistment, or by draft, from the Second Regi
ment, to serve three months. lam surprised
that the public authorities should deem it ne
cessary to call upon the citizens of the low
country, at thisseasonof theyear, for men, not
to fight the Indians, for no person of common
sense would pretend to say that any Indians
are in the Okefmokee swamp-—but simply to
guard that swamp!
It is very questionable whether it would be
good policy to take 60 men, at present, from
tlie Second Regiment. The Governor must,
or at least should know, our situation. The
business season has just commenced inconse
quence of the long draught- tjie planter is pre
paring for his crop—and the mechanic has
hardly commenced his labour. The past lias
fully convinced everyone, that where there is
the remotest prospect of a battle, or the servi
ces of our citizens actually required to defend
our State against an enemy, that patriotism
which ever glows no predominant in thebreast
of every American would induce him, at a mo
ments warning, to ofTer his services to his
country. But when his services are only re
quired to cut a road through a swamp, build
bridges and cut down large trees, to march
through bogs knee deep—l am not surprised
to hear muriDers in every direction.
Why cannot the Federal Government send
regular troops to perform this duty l If our
army is not large enough it can easily be in
creased, and then the citizen will not have to
leave his business and his family, to perform
the duty which the regular troops should.
Our (General Government wants reform. —
Congress had better adjourn, or legislate for
the benefit of the .States. Week after week
passes away, and thousands of dollars are spent
in useless and unprofitable debates. One .S’ub
treasurer runs away after another with mil
lions of the public money—and when five
hundred men are wanted, to continue, this
never ending, still beginning Florida war. the
private citizen is called upon to perform the
duty of a regular soldier. X.

7 Days Later from Pin gland.
At a late hour we received London papers to
the 15lh of January and Liverpool to the 17th
both inclusive, brought by the ship Hibernia,
Capt. Cobb, which vessel sailed from Liver
pool on the 17th January.
The packet ship Roscius sailed in company.
The Liverpool Albion of the llllh, says, that
St. Andrew, Pennsylvania, Lockwoods and
Brighton were or would he total wreck ; that
much of their cargoes was already washed out
and strewed along the coast. Wo copy from
the same paper the following account of the
manner in which Captain .Smith and the pas
sengers of the Pennsylvania perished.
After striking, and owing to the violence of
the gale, which brought her into collission with
the hank, against which she struck with great
force several times, she rapidly filled with wa
ter. At this eventful crisis, she being then a
bout three miles from the shore, a brief con
sultation was held with the passengers. The
result was that Capt. Smith ordered the jolly
boat to he launched, into which Mr. Parsons,
of Manchester, Mr. Barrow, of New-York, Mr.
•Suiter, of South America, and another gentle
man entered, accompanied by the Chief mate,
Mr. Blydeuburg, and a young Scotchman, na
med Downey, together with five of the crew.
The ill-fated boat did not long live in the tem
pest.
About midway between the vessel and the
shore she swamped, ami all on board were
thrown into the foaming element. Two of
the passengers, Ifossrs. Thompson and Doug
lass, had taken the precaution to provide them
selves with swiming bolts, and they sustained
themselves; but the rest of the poor fellows,
alter struggling in vain for some time, sunk to
rise no more. Mr. Thompson, finding it hope
less to contend with the waves, threw himself
on his hack, and, supported by his belt, trusted
to the waves to carry him onward. As the
tide was coming in, he was propelled with con
siderable speed, and eventually, much exhaus
ted, reached the shore.
FRANCE.
The King of France lias suffered a most af
flicting bereavement in the death of his beau
tiful and accomplished daughter, the Dutchess
of Wirtenburg. She expired at Pisa, on the
2d of January, being in the 25th year of her
age. She was married in 1837. The, Count
was to go into mourning for two months.
The advices we have from Paris are of
•ho 13th. At that time the Chamber of
Deputies was still engaged in discussing the
address in answer to the speech. M. Gui
zot was the first speaker in support of the
address, and made a severe attack on the
ministry. Odillon Barrot mid Thiers also
spoke at great length on the same side,
Count Mole replying. The speech ofM.
Thiers was directed chiefly against the evac
uation of Ancona.
On the ministerial amendment to .the
paragraph relating to Belgium, the vote
was 210 for, 212 against. The vote‘on the
Ancona paragraph was considered very
doubtful.
The intelligence of the capture of San
Juan de Ulloa was received in Paris on the
oth, having been brought by the Rhone,
from New York.
A vessel had arrived at Brestfrom Hayti.
having on board two of the French envoys
and $150,000 on account of the indemnifica
tion.
From (lore's Advertiser of Jan. 17.
Nine hundred bales of Cotton have been
saved from the Victoria, from Charleston,
on shore near Leesowc with out damage ;
the tide now Hows through the vessel. Part
of the wreck of a vessel, (supposed to be
that of the Lockwoods) drove against the
Victoria’s stern this morning, broke her
rudder, and did her other damuge.

REGATTA.
The third annual Regatta of the Aquatic
flub of Georgia took place at St. Marys, on
Monday last.—We have received no authentic
account of the races, but learn by a friend
who was present, that a race came off for the
Club purse entered for. four oared boats, be
tween the “Caroline King,” owned by f’apt.
Richard F. Fluid, and the “C. C. 8.” the
“beautiful unknown,” to which we alluded in
our last, owned by Messrs. Gignilliat and
Stock well, of this city, and built by the latter.
The race was won by the C. C. S., beating
the Caroline King, an open length or more.
We would however state that the C. K. is a
nix oared boat.
♦Several other races took place. We are
happy to learn that tin* club have agreed here
after to meet at Brunswick.
The Caroline King is now hereon her way
to Augusta to complete w ith one of tin* Augus

lars.
The race which was expected to take place
here on the 22d, is postponed till some time
next month, when several races are expected
to come off, —Brumncick A dr.
FROM FLORIDA.
Gakkv’s Fkkry, Feb. 14.
Within the last month, thanks to the
energy and perseverance of Cupts. E. S.
Winder and L.J. Beall, of the 2<J Dragoons,
nearly forty Indians have been taken.
Among them a cousin of Sir Samuel
Jones, vulgo Sain ditto; they do not appear
to manifest any sorrow’ at exchanging the
savage for the civilized life, and seem to
show the true spirit of philosophy. They
perform their dances for the amusement
and edification of by-standers with no
apparent leluclancc and frequently indulge
in a laugh themselves. There is a plan now
on foot, which I hope will prove the means
of getting a few more of the forest gentry
into our hands. Gen. Taylor expects to
leave Dead-man’s Bay about the 20th inst.
on an expedition in to the everglades. He
will strike east from the hay and meet a
part of Col. Twiggs, command, who will
leave shortly from the western coast, about
Indian river and Key Biscuyen. The stea
mer Isis, now chartered by the United
States left yesterday with two companies
for Key Biscayen ; one of them Capt. Rus
sell’s of the 2d Infantry, the other Lieut.
Geo. Taylor’s of the 3d Artillery. The
whole under the command of Maj. S.

THE BIOGRAPHER OF TOM PAINE.
The end of an Infidel. —Among the frequen
ters of Tammany Hall at the Sunday meetings
of the Infidels, William Carver, up to yester
day afternoon, has been most constant. This
man. many ofour readers will recollect, was
the bosom friend, associate, and biographer of
Tom Paine. At his house Paine died: and
on him the moral mantle of the great apostle
of infidelity fell. It was Carver who vouched
for the correctness of Paine’s life, and the hap
piness of his death. He is now eighty three
years of age—almost deaf, and nearly blind ;
filthy eve rj to disgust in his personal appearance
—and was at Tammany Hull on Sunday, shiv
ering with cold—his cloths all rags—friendless,
hopeless, houseless. In his hand he had a
number of printed petitions, which one of his
brother infidels had presented to him, to the
following purport :
“This is to certify that the petitioner, ‘Will
iam Carver, is now 83 years old, and In a very
destitute condition, &e. The smallest dona
tion thankfully received.”
Carver we believe is at the present time the
; President of the Society of “Moral Philanthro
j pists.” Who hold their revels at Tammany
Hall, and who are this week to meet to cele
brate Tom Paine’s birth day. The philanthro
py of infidelity in this ease, as it has been in
j a thousand others, is clearly read in the histo
ry or Carver. The article below will convey
a moral not soon to he forgotten.
Reported for the Daily Express.
1 Prison Scene. —About (t oeloek last eve
ning, a wretched, hoary headed, po\ erty strick
en individual named William Carver, was
brought in by officer Waldron, whom he said
he had found begging about the streets, and in
a state of titter destitution.—The wretched
man was so deaf, that it was with difficulty the
cause of his arrest could he explained to him,
that he felt it a duty incumbent on himself to
see him comfortably provided for ; and for that
purpose he should send him for six months to
the Almshouse.
The old man on hearing this, broke out ill
the most vehement strain of invective against
the whole magistracy of the city. “I am,” said
he, “the bosom friend of the great Tom Paine,
that was—and 1 too was his biographer. Not
all the combined powers of hell, earth and
heaven, shall deprive me of my liberty. I’ll
fight, 1 will—l will die before I’m shut up by
any of ye.” And then in tones of submission
and entreaty, begged that he might be let go
till Wednesday—“for that,” said he, “is the
birthday of the great man Paine ; —my friend
—the friend of man.”
To his request, the magistrate, however,
would not accede ; and finding him inexorable,
he then plead that he might go “till to morrow,
to arrange his worldly affairs”—“and on to mor
row,” said he, “I’ll certainly return, and go
willingly to the almshouse.” “I will —my
word’s my bond, so do now let me go—you
will not sure now refuse me. I’m now eighty
three years and four months old, have paid tax
es here for forty years, and never harmed man,
woman or child—so do lot me go.”
All was however, in vain. 11c was removed
to the kitchen of the prison, with orders from
Mr. Merritt that every thing for his comfort
should be provided.—On reaching the kitchen,
his entreaties for a temporary release was re
tie wed ; and finding entreaties useless, lie com
menced with threats of violence upon the keep
ers and others in altendence. In persuanco
of his threats, he drew from his pocket a large
clasp-knife, with which lie attempted first to
slab those around; and not succeeding in
which, he made Iho attempt to cut his own
throat. In this however, he \vas foiled ; asho
was seized, the knife taken from him, and his
person effectually secured.
