To Abolish (l<- ltcliUliUK of Spiri tuous Liquors. To Ol'R FELLOW CITIZENS OF GeORCIA. —The undersigned were appointed a committee at a meeting of a respectable number of the people of Putnam county to address you upon the subject of the evils which ufllict our whole community, originating from the practice of retailing intoxicating liquors in our State. We know that in coming forward to address you, we stand exposed to all the prejudices, which usually assail attempts at the reformation of great and prominent evils. The advocates and the victims, alike rally to their perpetuation, and proscription places its hand upon all who dare to raise, or assemble around the new stuudard. The imagination is set most ac tively to work, to hunt up spectres to alarm the inconsiderate and to bias and influence their judgements. The ever active vigilence of Liberty und Freedom is aroused, least some great constitutional right shall bo invaded. The “Union of Church and Stutc,” the right of the poor to do as they please, their subjec tion to tltc dominion of tbe rich, some trick of a political parly, a sectarian measure, and ma ny such other caul phrases, are the notable arguments which are ever and anon, opposed to the march of reformation. Dut, fellow cit izens, we feel that you have too long known the crying evils, to which the retail of intoxica ting drinks has given birth, to listen for a mo ment to such aspersions upon motives. We represent upon this occasion, a constituency composed of the Christian and the sinner, tltc Methodist, //aptist & Presbyterian, tltc Union and the Slate Mights man, the Lawyer and the politician, the Doctor and the Divine, the rich, the poor, and those of competency, the tempe rate, tlie retailer and the purchaser, the farmer and the merchant; ull these compose that por tion of our fellow citizens, who lately assemb led at Eatonton, and prepared and signed a memorial to the next Legislature of our State, to prohibit the trade by retailing ardent spirits, and appointed us their committee, to invite you to co-operate with them, in the great and tho good work. We approach the task with un feigned pleasure, fortified by the conviction of our rectitude, and the unanimity of those in ‘ the midst of whom we reside, we can but be lieve that the same moral sense, which lias a wakened here the energies of this great reform, will not slumber in the bosom of other com munities as respectable for their virtue, intel ligence, ami moral worth. On Sunday the 24th day of February a portion of the citizens of Eatonton assembled at the church; for the pur pose of considering upon the subject, and out of a congregation of about 120 persons, 108 signed the memorial. Another meeting in a nother part of our county has been held, and with corresponding success and equal unani mity. Upon a subject so vitally interesting to all, could there be otherwise than unanimity'? We invite you fellow-citizens, individually, to look to the ucigborhood of a retail grocery, to the condition of those who frequent it and sat isfy yourselves, whether the retail there car ried on, has produced most good or harm. If the quantity of harm prevails over the good, ought not the evil to lie suppressed, and will you not lend us your aid In its suppression? Look to your courts of Justice, and see how many of the affrays and riots, which engage the time of the country, happened in, or at a grog shop. Look to the many murders and manslaughters which are almost every where to be met with, and see how many arise from fends engendered while the parties were at the grocery ! Against the influences of those re tail shops, the law frowns with indignation. The keeping of a tipling house for theencour agement of drinking, is an offence against our laws, and punishable with loss of liberty or property, and yet these same laws license the community to retail the intoxicating spirits which are there drank. Drunkenness is made no excuse for crime, and yet we make it law ful to retail the intoxicating draught, which turns reason from her throne und whilein that i overthow crime is perpetrated. Could we ask Ia stronger argument for our cause than that which your own laws furnish 7 Look around you fellow citizens and see how many objects of charity have been made so, by frequeting these retailing shops. How many widows and orphans, pennyless, and helpless, whose hus bands and fathers, were the too frequent visi tors of them. Look at these tilings, und answer candidly to yourselves, whether the evil ought not to be exterminated. Massachusetts and | other States at the North and East, have adop ; ted a similar course. Our sister and adjoining State Tennessee lias acted likewise. Other Southern States are now moveing in the mat ter. The ball is rolling onward, and gaining at every turn, and thougli we cannot claim tbe high gratification ofhaving first put it into mo tion, let us fellow citizens, participate in the pleasure ns well as the honor ofhaving added to its revolutions and its magnitude. Your fellow citizens, MYLES GREENE, j JOHN B. DAWSON | JOSJAII FLOURNOY, l THOMAS COOPER, , Committee. JOHN C. MASON, | J. A. MERIWETHER, J The following is the form of aPelition which has already been signed by near 300 persons in Putnam, and no subject can present more nnanmity. State of Georgia: To tbe Senate and House of Representatives of this State for 1839. The undersigned citizens of this .State believing that the retail of spiritous liquors, is an evil of great magnitude among us, come into the Le gislature by Petition and ask you in your wis dom to pass such a law as will effectually put a stop to it. We do not here attempt to name the mischief that has been done in the State by quartering upon our towns, cities, villages and highways, retail shops. They are so man ifold as not to have escaped the painful notice of every member of your Honorable body. Your Petitioners come with the more confi dence because several States in this Union : have already passed such a law as to make j penal the retailing of intoxicating drinks. Surely a trafic which is full of evil, and only evil, should be banished by law, if it cannot be done otherwise. Let it be done, and your pe titioners as in duty bound will ever pray, &c. The Committee ask that some of active citizens of each county, will present it to the citizens of their counties, (botli male and fe male,) forsignatures. We ask especially that the Clergy would get some active man to pre sent it in every religious meeting, tliat the same be carefully kept until the session of the next Legislature, when it shall be presented by the members from the several counties they rep resent For the Herald. TO MY COUSIN KATE. Thou art placed within n fairy boat, And luunclied on life’s lempestious tide; Two nymphs are kneeling si thy feet, Who beg thy little barque to guide : One seems an Angel bright and fair, Her dark eye laughing silken shaded, And in her jelly hair Bl ight gems are braided. She points to pleasure’s bowers! And with a winning look she craves, To guide thy barque along ill- pearly waves To her bright land of flowers: Turn from her tempting look with scorn! ’Tis Vice! Remember All arc not Angels that bear an Angel's form. And sec t lie other nymph so fair, Her bine eye smiling, with love shaded, And in her golden hair The myrtle and violet nre braided : She points above— And with the sweetest look she craves, To guide thy barque along the stormy waves, To bowers of love: Give her the helm und keep her precepts given; ‘Tis VmnjE! 0, remember Her ways are pleasant und lead up to Heaven ! ALFRED. Darien, 1839. The Troubadour's Bride. A BALLAD. “ It is not, young Countess, Thy dowry 1 sigh for; Thy eye, bent in bashful ness, ’Tis that 1 die for. Oh, give methosceyes, linct with morn’s virgin blue, And through earth, to the grave, I’ll he true, Imlye— true'! It is not thy dowry—ah ! no, lndyc—no ; ’Tis thy love-beaming eyes—all my sunshine below. “ Tby four custles proud Loom in light from the valleys; Each harper sings loud Thy young charms in each pulace. Brave lane.es arc broken, and plumes soiled in blood; And for thee lovely msidems cull flowers in the wood. The baron who woos thee ’ll be first in the hall, And his coronet brightest and costliest of all. “ But a gay Troubadour Though I roam like the river, Less fickle my flower: * I will image thee ever. My heart is as soft as the harp that I bear, And love, twined with poesy, blooms ever there. The baron will deck thee in gems and in gold ; But thy charms I'll embalm in u song to grow old. “ Look from thy tower, imlye— List to my numbers! Eaeli leuf on the aspen tree Tenderly slumbers. Away in tiie South, in a valley of light, Our days shall be numbered by each new delight; Tlie song of Provence, and its rich, radiant wine, And its flowers, ladye bright, with my true heart, are thine.” The proud Imlye listens The young pleading lover ; The silver prow glistens As gay they shoot over, Tlie lake’s starry bosom, by our and by soil, To where paw's tlie ready steed, swift as the gulo. His foot’s in the stirrup, his hand's on tlie mane; — Thcy’rcoff and away ! —all pursuit must be vain! W. F. The author of the following beautiful and thrilling description, is unknown to us. We regret it. It is a perfect master-piece of bat tles ; completely hurrying away with the read er’s imagination, into the inidst of the deep conflict and the death struggle. We hear the roar of cannon, the flapping of banners, the heavy tramp of men and horses, and the boom ing play of martial music—we sec the thun dering charge, the death-shock of the meeting, the flash of pistol and bayonet and sabre, and the sinking of the bleeding, agonizing hosts ; while the broad and silent advance of tlie dis tant reserves, and the slow and sole.tnn wav ings ofbanners, gathering steadily to the cen tre of the deep and deadly turmoile, fill the imagination with admiration for the patriot ism and valor, which wrought so calm a spirit of martyrdom in the bosoms of those who won our liberties : BATTLE OF THF BRANDYWINE. We had been in the saddle about tin hour, under the intrepid Pulaski, who, with bis own hands, examined our swords, pistols, and other equipments, as if assured that the strug gle would be a deadly and a long continued one. The day was one of the most beautiful that ever bro/ce over the earth. We were about half a mile from the main body, ranged along a green slope, facing the west, our hor ses, about four hundred in number, standing as patiently as so many marble statues : until just as the eastern sky began to redden and undulate; and cloud al'tet cloud to roll up, and heave like a great curtain up the wind ; and the whole heaven seemed discharging all its beauty and brightness upon one spot. I happened to turn about, and saw the tall Pole (Pulaski) bare-headed, tilting his horse, like some warlike presence come up out of the solid earth to worship upon the very summit of the hill behind us; it might be, (for the noble carriage of the man, the martial bearing of the soldier, would permit either interpretation,) it might be in the awful em ployment of devotion, or iu the more earthly one; of martial observation: But suddenly lie reigned up bis charger, shook the heavy dew from his horseman's cap, replaced it and leap- ed headlong down the hill, just ns a bright flash passed away on tho horizon, followed by a loud report ; and the next instant a part of our ranks were covered with dust and turf, thrown up by a cannon ball that struck near the spot he had just left. Our horses pricked up their ears at the sound, and all nt once, ns if a hundred trump ets were playing in the wind, came the enemy in his advance. Pulaski unsheathed his sword, called out a select body, and set off at full gal lop, to a more distant elevation, where we saw the enemy advancing in twoeolunts; one under Knyphauscn, which moved in tremen dous steadiness, in a dark solid mass, towards the spot occupied by General Maxwell; the other under Cornwallis, which seemed to threaten the right flank of our main body. Intelligence was immediately sent to Wash ington, mid reinforcements called in, from the spot we had left. We kept our position, awaiting for a whole Hour, tho sound of conflict; at last a heavy vol ley rattled along the sky, a few moments pas eod, and then another followed, like a storm of iron upon drum heads. The whole air rung with it ; another, and another followed ; then gradually increasing in loudness, catne peal after peal, till it resembled a continual clap of thunder, rolling about under an illuminated vapor. But Pulaski, with all his impetuosity, was a general, and knew his duty too well, to hazard any movement till he should tie able to see with certainty the operations of the enemy in the vapor below. Meanwhile, several little parties which had been sent out, came in, one after the other, with the intelligence that Knyphauscn had broken down upon Maxwell in magnificent style—been beaten back again; but that he had finally prevailed, und that Maxwell had retreated across the river. A thin vapor had risen from the green earth below us and com pletely covered the enemy from our view. It was no longer possiblo to follow him, except by the sounds of his trend, which we could feel in tlie solid earth, jarring ourselves and our horses; and now and then, u quick glimmer ing in the mist, ns some standard raised above it: some weapon flourished, or some musket shot through it like a rocket. About an Hour after, a horseman dashed through the smoke on tlie very verge of the horison, and after scouring tlie fields, for a whole mile in view, communicated with two or three others, who set off in different direc tions ; one to us, with orders to hurry down to tiie ford, where the commander-in-chief was determined to fall on Knyphusen with all his power, before Cornwallis could come to his aid. It was a noble but hazardous game.— And Pulaski, whose war horse literally thun dered and lightened along the broken and sto ny precipice by which we descended, kept his eye warily to the right, as if not quite certain that the order would not lie countermanded. We soon fell in with General Greene, who was posting, all on fire to give Knyphausen battle and the next inomen saw Sullivan in full march over a distant Hill to-wards tltc en emy’s flank. This arrangement would, doubt less, have proued fatal to Knyphauscn, had not our operations been unfortunately arrested, at the very moment we were prepared to fall upon him, man and horse, by the intelligence that Cornwallis had moved off to another quar ter. It was a moment of irresolution—doubt. It was the death blow to our brilliant hopes to victory. Greene was recalled, and Sullivan commanded to linlt. Hardly had this happened, our horses being covered with sweat, ttnd froth, fretting in the bit like chained tigers, und ourselves covered with duet, it being an excessively hot and sul try day, When a heavy cannonade was heard on our right flank, and Greene, to whose divi sion we had been attached, was put into mo tion to support Sullivan who we had left home some hours before. The truth now broke upon us like n thunderclap. The enemy had passed, concentrated, we supposed, and fallen oil our right. I shall never forget Green’s countenance, when the news cante; he was on the roadside, upon an almost perpendicular bank, but he wheeled where he saw, dashed down the bank, his face white as the bleached garble, and called to us to gallop forward, with such a tremendeous impulse, that wc marched four miles in forty minutes. We held on o;tr way in a cloud of dust, and met Sullivan all in dis order, nearly n mile from the ground, retrea ting step by step, at the head of His men, and shouting himself hoarse, covered with blood and sweat, and striving in vain to bring them tostand, while Cornwallis was pouring in up on them an incessant volley. Pulaski dashed out to the right, over the broken fences, and there stood awhile upright in his stirrups, reconnoitcring, while the ene my, who appeared, by the smoke and the dust that roiled before them in the wiiuk to lie much nearer than they really were, redoubled their efforts ; but at last, Pulaski.saw a favor able opportunity.—The column wheeled; the wind swept acMkiS their van, revealing them like a bnttullion of spirits, breathed fire and smoke. He gave the signal; Archibald repea ted it, then Arthur; then myself. In three minutes, wc were ready for tlie word. When Pulaski, shouting ill a voice that thrilled through and through us, stuck spurs into his charger ; it wasabalf minute, so fierce and terrible was his charge, before we were able to come up with him. What could lie mean! Gracious heaven ! My hand convulsive ly, like that of a drowning man, reigned up for a moment when I saw we were galloping straight forward into a field of bay Ones: yet he was the first man ! and who would not have followed ? We did follow Him, and with such a hurri cane t f fire andstCitl, that, when we wheeled, our whole path lay broad before us, with a wail of (ire on the right band and on the left; but not a bayonet or a blade in front, except what were under the hoofs of our horses My blood rushes now. like a flash of fire through my forehead, when I recall the devastation that we then made, almost to the very heart of the enemy’s column. But Pulaski, lie who afterwards rode into their retrenchments on horseback, sword in his hand, was accustomed to it; and having brokenover them once, aware of his peril if he should give them time to nwakfl from their consternation, he wheeled in a blaze of fire, with the intention ofreturning through a wall of death, more perilous than that Which shut in the children of Israel, upon the Red Sea. But no ! the wall had rolled in upon us ; und we were left no alternative, but to continue aswc had began. The undaunted Pole rioted in tlie excess of his joy! I remember well bow he passed tnc, covered with sweat and dust, riding absolutely upon the very points of their bayonets. But, VOL. 1. NO. 13. nt last, they pressed upon Him, and horseman after horseman fell from our saddles ; when we were all faint and feeble, and even Archi bald was fighting on foot, over his beautiful horse, with Arthur battling over his head, we heard the cry of “Succor! Succor /” Imme diately wc felt the enemy give way, heaving this way, then that, and finally concentrated beyond us. “Once more !” “once more I” cried Pulaski, and away he went, breaking in upon them as they were forming; and trampling down whole, platoons, in tlie charge, before a man could plant his bayonet or bring His gun to an aim ; our aspect, as weeamu thundering round them, was sufficient; tlie enemy fled, and wo brought off our companions unhurt. I liuve been in many a battle many an one that made my Hair afterwards stand when I dreamed of it:—but never in one where the carnage was so dreadful: and firing so inces sant as that which followed the arrival of Greene. But the enemy hud so effectually secured his exposed points by ranks of men kneeling with planted bayonets, that we could make no impression upon, although we rode upon them again and again, discharging our pistols in their faces. SPRING.—HaiI lovely spring ! Thou art ever welcome. Thy coming has long been looked for, and thy presence has called forth many a smile of joy and gladness. I adore thee as being the plea santest season of the year. Thou has so many joys—so many sweet tones of melody twined around thy pathway, that I could wish thee ever with us. Thou scem’st to beur on thy wing the sound of many sweet voices that have long been mute and unheard. Thou seem’st too, to remind us of our indebtedness to our God, for the preservation of our lives through the past, departed winter. And we cannot, I think, hut take heed by thy warning—and con sider beforo we farther advance, that it is our duty to send up a prayer of gratitude to the kind Preserver of our lives from season to season, and thank Him for tho many privileges that have been bestowed upon us by His bountiful hand during days of sickness and pain, and raised us front the couch of disease, and given us strength that we may be able to wander forth among the vallics and plains, to pluck the gentle flower, that thy warm breezes, sunny spring, will soon put forth. Thou hast caused the gentle streamlet and mighty river to burst their frosty fetters, and to move on again in their wonted courses. Tbe ice-bound plain has begun to witness thy presence, and will ere long wear an aspect of fer tility and lovliness.—The forests too, whose stately oaks have long appeared dead and leafless, arc alike effected by thy warm sunshine. The favorite thrush, whose blithsomc notes have been hushed for many long months by the cold and rugged winter, is beginning to resume its wonted visits about our windows, and to fill the air with its sweet music. Who docs not love a bright spring morning ? Who does not love to wander forth among the fields and groves, while the buds and blossoms are springing into life ? No one, I think, who is an admirer of nature and nature’s works. What can be more delightful to tho contemplative mind, than the enjoyment of such pleasures? It is indeed animating and instructive to ramble over the beautifully clad fields of nature, and behold the various plants and flowers that cover the ground. It seems to bid the mind hold communion with its God, and remind us that all we see springing up arround our paths is caused by the never failing goodness of that Being who has promised the annual occurance of the sea sons. FORTUNE TELLING. The trade of telling fortunes with cards lias of late been extensively carried on by at least four females in this city, three of whom are white, and one of them black; and many of both sexes, who were foolish enough to inquire into the arcana of the future, have been most elegantly gulled. The females who carried on this interesting branch of prophetic and decretal knowledge had small cards issued, bearing their names, number, and trade;, and these were handed by children to young und elderly ladies and gentlemen in the streets, to induce them to try their fortunes, and tempt the future to reveal to them their desti nies. Among the number who have for some time flourished in these pretended revelations of occult science, was Louise Krafts, a native of Philadelphia, who had been reared in Paris, and who, with iter husband, occupied apart ments in a small house, at No. 8 Chrystie street, whence she sent forth her cards, and whither she received her company. As many elderly ladies, in walking out with their daugh ters, had been tempted by tlie gift of these cards, attd had found it rather a matter of annoyance, they induced a gentleman of tbeir acquaintance to visit the prophetess of fortune ; and lie, after paying Half a dollar for the privi lege,had more falsehoods told him than he will find true in all his life. He therefore yester day repaired to the police office and preferred a complaint against Mrs. Kiaft, us a vagrant or disorderly person, in consequence of whicli she was arrested and held to bail in SSOO to keep tlie peace and be of orderly conduct for one year, under pain of imprisonment. She gave the required bail, and was discharged. In her examination, she said she did not pretend to tell what the real fortunes of per sons were; but if any were foolish enough to give iter money, she was willing to receive it, and tell them as good a story as she could. Two otiiers, named Mrs. George & Mrs. Drissinger, who pursued the same enlightened calling, were also arrested, and Held to bail as disorderlies. Fortune telling, henceforth, will be a rather dangerous and troublesome busi ness, and unless it is carried on in secret, will subject its authors to the mortification of ar rest, and the pain and shame of imprisonment. “Honey Moon.” — Through this word is in common use, its derivation is little known, as nothing respecting it is found in the dictionaries, or origin is from a custom of the Teuta£SE!l an ancient people of Germany, who dfsflk mead, methcglin, a bevrnge Ufh honey, for thirty days alter wotblHp^
