jIARISN HERALD. TuoMluy ’Horning’ rternary *6, 1*39 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 $• Eve,” and “Ex pulsion from Paradise,” are now exliib -1 itinsjr in this city. To the lovers of the 1 fine arts, this a fiords an opportunity of en- I joying a pleasure which seldom occurs here. ■ The subject is one of deep interest. They are copies from Debuffr , a favorite pupil ’ of the celebrated painter David, by a native i American artist. There was something 1 bohl/i the attempt even to copy works of ! sm/ magnitude; ami not a little merit in . b/ng able to accomplish successfully so j/tupendous an undertaking. j The exhibition continues open until Sut [ urday. £C$“ V.uasth.rs row the Okkfinoker. — \\ (■ understand that General Nelson has offer ed to raise volunteers to the number nuthoriz- I ed for the protection of our frontiers on the Florida borders. HisofTer will we understand, be accepted by the Governor, in preference to ordering u draft. The force when raised will 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 ing the whole Okofiuokee campaign; and as such be will continue to act, while Gen. Nel son, likewise waving his rank, will probably act during the ensuing campaign, as ht. Col onel.—Southern /{reorder. 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. TBTXI JYTO XHTTO S H CpUWTT HERA LP., NEW YORK Feb. 15. 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. Tile Ma jestic, Mustard, for New Orleans, which put back last Monday, must discharge. 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 ta Club boats, fora purse of one thousand dol 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. Churchill, 3d Artillery. From the New York Express. 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. * S IIIPNE VV S . PORT OF DARIEN, FEBRCABY2O, 1839. ARRIVED.
