We havr received a well written article addresi

ton which at present lies on one of the wharves of
our city, sad which if permitted to remain in the
present sitnstion much longer, will injure the health
of the citil’as. We hove, however, thought proper
to omit it. believing the pro|ier authorities will sec
the necessity of removing it immediately.

For the Herald.
Mb. Editor :
Permit me to call the attention of the good
people of Mclntosh County, to a subject which
is exciting much interest, in every part of the
State, and one in which no community is
more deeply interested than our own, I need
hardly say, Sir, that I allude to the determina
tion of a number of persons, to incmorili ze the
Legislature ai its next session to pass some
law, which will effectually suppress the retail
ing of ardent spirits. I indulged the hope,
that someone Itetter qualified, would have
brought the subject before the public, but as
there remains but little lime for action, I take
the liberty of soliciting a place in your paper.
That the prevalence of ‘'grogshops” in any so
ciety, is an evil to be deprecated, 1 presume
none will deny. That they conduce neither to
the morality, welfare, nor respectability of any j
class of men is self evident. That they tend
to the subversion of good order, to die grossest
immorality, and to the coss of domestic happi
ness is not less so. Why then is a system, not
only destitute of all good, but froug'it with in
calculable evil tolerated ? The only answer
that occurs to me is because the “rightful rem
edy ’’ has nol yet been devised. An evil may
exist a long time after it is known to be such,!
and generally in proportion to its magnitude is
the difficulty of its removal.
Now the Legislature has regarded the traffic
in ardent spirits a public evil, and hence laws
have been enacted to regulate and in a measure
restrict it. These laws have proven ineffectual
(I linos- uh the inefficiency, in a great measure
of those whose, duty it is to enforce them) and
the evil still exists. A remedy has been sought,
and is now presented to the people. That rem
edy is the total prohibition of the retailing sys- .
lent whereby the sale of ardent spirits direct
ly, or indirectly, shall be rendered penal. lam
aware that a question may,arise as to the con-.
stittitionalily of such a law. This I think is set
tled by the fact that Legislation has been had
already upon the subject. The Leg Mature sen
sible of th/evil has from time to tihie pasatd
laws partially prohibitory, as is the license law. I
If it is constitutional to declare that the traffic
shall tint be permitted but under certain res- ;
triclions, is it not equally so to increase those
.restrictions so a3 to amount to an absolute pro
hibition ? If the Legislature has the right to
affix a tax of twenty dollars upon every license,
has it not the same right to make the Ux twen
ty thousand I Whyis it that a heavy lax has
been imposed upon this traffic but to prevent
the accumulation of it ? But says one. you
would deprive me of my liberty. Have I not
a right, in this free country to do as I please ?
Yes, so long as your doings affect no one, but
yourself; but when you would do that which
is an injury to a community, that right ceases, >
or they who compose it are your slaves. We !
dont petition the Legislature to muzzle A. B.
or C. let them driuk, if they will ; but we as
respectfully, and most solemnly, memoralize :
that body, to protect us from the injury which i
D. is inflicting by retailing ardent spirits.
We ask, and we will continue to ask, until
the boon is granted, that the retailer be pro
hibited from his work of dessolatton and death.
Let it not be said that we would take away the ]
means of a livelihood from those engaged in this
business.
The passage of such a law might cause them
some temporary embarrasment ; it would cur- j
tail thejr profits, but as an offset to this, let me
ask how many a rich inheritance has been
transfered from the bands of the rum-drinker
to the rum-seller ? Where is the compassion
of the retailer who receives the hard earnings
of many a heart broken wife, for that which
has made her husband a drunkard, and her
children beggars? Who will compute the woe
which the retailing system has caused within <
the bounds ofour own country ? Known only
to the Omniscient eye are the hearts that have
been drained of their purest joy, by thisun
holly traffic. Shall we compare the loss of
reputation, and affection, and hope, with the
loss of a retailer’s stock of rum ? According to
an old proverb “it is a poor rule that does not
work both ways.” Now I think it is time, it
should work the other way. But so far from
desiring to take from him the means of living,
we would see the retailer supporting himself in
a more certain as well as in a more respecta
ble way. But if you prohibit the sale of ar
ent spirit, I cant buy it, and so you take
away my liberty. Well, which is most
in accordance with justice, and the
spirit of our government, that a community
should be injured rather than you be denied the
privilcdgc of—what? Being happy, or uaeful
or respected, or prosperous 1 No. Os tie
giading youmfilf, of bringing your family to
poverty, and wque&lhmg to your children a’
heritage of tame, or the reverse 1 ? This Is
my business and you have no right to inter
fere But it is the duty of the law to protect
your wife ind children. They have claims ns
sacred aaj’ours, to “life,liberty and the pursuit
of happiicss,” und w hen you infringe upon
thewe yoLdo that which neither the laws of
God nor your country sanction. It is not the
dostgnof the memorialists to interfere with the
personal rights of any. If a man choose to
drukt, and drink himsetfto death, of course he
in/do it, just as he would commit suicide in
acy other way. If he thinks it is one of the
ui dutiable rights of man to disregard every
fetation in life and reckless of consequences to
do as he pleases, we can only pity his delusion.
All that we desire is to be protected from a
nuisance. The people cither have the right
to require a redtess’of grievances at the hands
of the legislature, or they have not. If they
have, we regarding as we do the retailing of
intoxicating drinks ns an evil, and are nol tran
scending the liberty guaranteed to us by the
Constitution, when we ask that body to put a
final stop to the iniquitous system. If we have
nol this right, then have we not a right to de
mand a redress of grievances of any kind, and
our boasted freedom is but a name. Our ser
vants may be corrupted. Our children made
drunkards, and we have not the right to tiller
a word of remonstrance or complaint. We
would protect ourst ives from the approach of
an enemy more to tie dreaded than war, pes
tilence or famine, and that we may be success
ful we call upon the patriotic citizens of Mc-
Intosh county to subscribe to the memorial,
und tl a majority of the people sanction the
measure w e shall expect the members of the
leaislatute luobey the instructions of their con
stituents.
There is no fanaticism in this und staking.
Men of ull parties in politics and religion are
united in the effort, and although it may be ex
pecting too much to calculate upon the decid
ed action of the Legislature at its next session,
we are confident the day is not far distant
when the voice of the people shall be heard.
Public opinion is the law of the land with us,
and when once established on the side of virtue
it is irresistable.
You might us well talk of rolling back to
their fountains the wuters-ofthe Alutamaha, as
of arresting the discussion of this subject.
To the friends of the measure we say loose
no time in subscribing to the memorial. To
those engaged in soliciting subscribers we say
“Dont Give ep the Ship.”
rOB THE DARIEN IIEHAI.iI.
FEMALE EDUCATION.
It is a common observation, and one derived
from every day’s experience, that female edu
cation has ever exercised great influence upon
the happiness and respectability of society.
It has claimed the attention of every age, and,
indeed, can never fail to be an object of the
first importance to every coixmiuuily—and wo
trust it will not be presumptuous to any of our
fair readers, if it should be urged, that there
never was a period in which female education
ought to be more carefully watched than the
present. No doubt there are those who will
ba ready to tell us, that our ideas upon this
subject are rather hazarded, than maintained
by established truth—perhaps so —but we must
express the belief, that any one who is at all
familiar with the systems now adopted, will
find Ihry are not without foundation.
In easting our eje over the literature of the
present day, ive see much to admire, and much
to condemn. It is at all times cheering to the
voiitry of science, to witness the advancement
and stteeess of intellectual exertion; nnd it is
equally discouraging, on the other hand, to
notice the profusion of spurious and disordered
productions which arc fiom day today forced
upon the public charity. It is evident, the more
extensive the literature of the country, the more
promiscuous and corruptible it becomes. Sur
rounded by such an indiscriminate collection,
females, from their extreme sensibility, their
vivacity and readiness to pursue whatever has
an attractive or fanciful exterior, know not
where to fix the attention, and arrest the won
dering curiosity; they are led by specious and
imposing prospects, to enter upon a much more
extended field, and in this way, are brought to
neglect the graver branches of literature, for
the more seiuctive and pernicious. Gould
there be any profitable end obtained, or even a
resting place discovered, every objection would
be removed, but after once indulging, there js
no presuming what may be the consequence*;
the texture of the female mind i.s too delicate
to resist such strong temptations.
We would not be understood, however, as
condemning, without reserve, every fictitious
work; on the contrary, we would urge the pro’
prtely of every one being conversant with the
favourite authors of Uje age—nor would we
advance the opinion, that females should de
vote themselves exelu.ively to the higher
branches ofseience; there as a medium in each,
and how far to proceed in either should be the
grand point of investigation. Our objections
to the great majority of romances, are founded
on the persuasion that they vitiate nnj corrupt
the morals of society; their tendency over the
female character, is to enfeeble that delicucy
and purity of heart which is her fairest and
brightest pearl; and the more intricate and la
borious occupations of the closet must inevita
bly cloud their cheerfulness and sprigh tli ness,
anJ supply a calculating and phlegmatick spir
it.
The prevalent system of education (and it
may be applied equally to both sexes) seems
to grow out of the erroneous idea, that the
mind, to reach its highest perfecting shouid
gather its stores from the indiscriminate mass
which the present age ex’ ibits—its researches
must not be restricted, but cull here a flower &
there a trope, until a confuse ‘ heap is collected
without the least harmony or order. The fal
lacy of such a sygfcm must appear obvious—
mmm awsare©®® mm
wherever the attention i directed to eo many
collateral objects, it can no longer be vigorous
or collected —"the stream diridod into go many
channels ceases Inflow cither deep or strong.”
The diffusion of opulence has also an unhappy
effect over mental improvement. It generates
luxury and indolence, and consults rather our
ease than our profit. The fashions and gaieties
of the world entice the votary of pleasure from
the more peaceful and retired walks of domes
tic life, ami the politer branches of literature
occupy the attention of the vain and ostenta
tious, to the. exclusion or neglect of the more
substantial ami profitable. It is to the pursuit’
of these objects, thut the females of the present
day give their almost undivided care; and it
is in this way that a mind, nnliirnlly strong and
vigorous, becomes enfeebled and shattered. It
is impossible, where wo grasp at shadows, to
realize any thing that is solid or material. Man
ual labour is now thrown aside, as the calling
of those to w hom nature has allotted a more
humble sphere of action, and the beautiful sys
tem <xf asconomicks is really becoming ex
tinct.
These are our views of a subject which has
been so frequently and comprehensively treat
ed, ami which we hope will soon lie more uni
versally admitted. We have been induced to
say thus much, from the high admiration we
eitteitain for the female character; —as Swift
says, bless them, we love them all—we believe
they were destined for important and exalted
purposes—beings, who by their very nature,
are calculated to calm the little ripples of in
dividual calamity, and for ever preserve and
strengthen the laws of social life As some
poet has beautifully expressed,—she seems to
have been intended by her creator, as a connect
ing link between mm and the angel—a mes
senger employed to contribute to his necessi
ties, and regulate, in un eminent degree, the
moral world.. TIDES.

New- Fork, Aug. 23.
Singular. —We hove information from
below that on Wednesday lost the pilot
boat Blossom, oil'the Woodlands, fell in
with a Baltimore built schooner, on board
which were some twenty-five or thirty men,
all blacks, short of provisions and water,
with which the Blossom supplied them.
On Thursday the Blossom took the schoon
er in tow, intending to bring her in, but
some suspicious movements on the part of
the black crew induced the pilots to cast
her off
There appeared to be no person on board
who could speak English ; the blacks were
well supplied with cutlasses and other wea
pons, hut seemed to have no skill in navi
gation, as the schooner was drifting about
apparently’ without any guidance or object,
having very little canvass set. When last
seen she was about 30 miles 8. S. E. of
Sandy Hook.
A Spanish schooner sailed from Havana
some six or eight weeks ago, with a num
ber of slaves on hoard, and 20 white pas
sengers, destined for St. Jago tie Cuba.
Intelligence was soon after received that
the blacks had risen upon the whites and
put them to death, pusscngcis, crew and all.
A vessel of Avar was sent from Havana in
pursuit, but we have had no account of the
schooner's capture. There is strong rea
son to believe thut the schooner reported by
the Blossom is that same Spaniard.
Augusta. —The sickness in this city is
prevailing to a very alarming extent, as ap
pears hy the following extract of a letter,
which we have been permitted to copy .
“ Aucusta, Aug. 26. —Our city-, is in a
great stale of excitement and alarm. There
were 14 deaths last week ; mid there are
now 120 Vases of fever—a good many of
whom cannot live. 1 shall leave, this even
ing, for the sand hills, to sleep at night—
und hope that I shall escape. Some of our
most respectable citizens have had it, —
some have died. Every one that Can leave
is preparing to do so.” .
Another letter, dated 27th, referring to
the disease, which the writer terms “ Yel
low Fever,” says: “None have recovered
who have been taken, and many die, in
from 3 to 5 days. Some ofour oldest resi
dents, even of 20 years standing, have fal
len victims to the fell destroyer. Young
and old, strangers or residents—all are
subject to this devastating calamity. Sev
eral arc now at the point of death, and two
of our most eminent physicians arc at this
moment in a very critical state. Several
heads of families, male and female, have
already fallen victims to the disease. You
can form no conception as to the alarm and
excitement existing among the community.
Country people who have visited the city,
unaware of the sickness, immediately flee
from us in a panic. Our city is likely to be
deserted, should the disease continue, as
the inhabitant# arc leaving by hundreds.
The medical men here do not acknowledge
it to he the Yellow Fever—But one Physi
cian, from New-Orleans, who, of course,
has had considerable experience, unhesita
tingiy pronounces that it is so. The sick
nugs is chiefly confined to the lower por
tion of the town.” —Charleston Courier.
SAVANNAH, Aug. 2fith, 1839.
Look Out.- About ten days since, the store
of Messrs. Wreds and Morrell was broke
open by the lane— their desks was opened and
a small amount (all they could find) was car
ried off.
On Saturday night last, thestore of Mr. Wm.
H. Lloyd, Market Square, was also broke open
and robbed of what money could be got at,
fortunately the amount was small. Depreda

on the vigilence ofour watchmen,
Unparalleled Trotting. —A horse called
Dutchman, trotted three miles under the sad

Augusta Ga. one day last week from a sick

upon investigation was found to have been
caused by a quantity of bacon that was

Troubles in Turkey and Egypt.— The Sul
tan Mahmoud is dead, supposed to have been
poisoned.
The “Monitenr,” of July 27th, contained the
following telegraphic despatch from Marseilles
of the events of the 25th: —
“Thedeath of the Sultan was known at Al
exandria on the Bth; and on the following day
a Turkish schooner readied Alexandria with
Negib Bey. kiaya of the Captain Paeha on
board, charged to announce to the Viceroy of
Egypt the presence of the Captain Pacha of
Shutkio, on his way to Rhodes, and to propose
to place Ihe Turkish fleet under to Viceroy’s
protection, in order to guard .-igainsl the trou
bias likely to follow the Sultan’* death in Tur
key. A reply was dispatched hy Mehemet Ali
in the steamboat called the Black Sea, to Ihe
Pacha, but its tenor is unknown. On the 10th,
Askiff Effendi. sent hy the Sultan to announce
the. death of his father, reached Alexandria.”
This corroboration of the defection of the
Turkish Admiral with the fleet is bad enough.
But worse and still more startling tiding* have,
we fear, to lie added to it. These are, that the
members of the new Divtin, or Government,
at Constantinople, have taken a step similar to
that of the Capital) Paeha, and have written to
Mehemet Ali to put themselves and the Sultan
under his protection, offering him the heredit
ary government of Syria and Egypt, and in
viting Mehemet Ali to Constantinople to re
organize ihe Government,
All this is said to have been done, by Russia;
and that England. France, and Austria will stop
those measures, and preserve the independence
of Turkey.
Constantinople, July Bth. —We areherein
tiie greatest consternation, and fear the worst.
Hafiz Pacha has lost a battle against Ibrahim
Pacha between Aleppo and the Euphrates.
Ibraham Pacha, who was more and more ap
prehensive that the presence of the ‘Ottoman
army would cause an jnsurrenction in Syria,
has attacked the army of Hafiz Pacha, and
overthrown it after a short action. The Turks
behaved in a most shameful manner; they
betook themselves Ae-ffight after the first can
nonade, and it improbable that Hafiz Pacha has
scarcely been/hie to save or rally a third part
ofhisa’rmy. This'blow is decisive,and places
the throne of the Young Sultan in extreme dan
ger, who is but just pioclamcd.
On the 25th ult., between Airitab and Bir,
Ibraham Pacha ordered a general attack of the
whole army. His force was arrayed in three
divisions, of which the centre was comman
ded by Soliman Pacha (formerly Colonel Sol
ves, a Frenchman,) while he lea the right
wing in person. The attack war commenced
at daylight, and before ten o’clock the whole
Turkish panic-struck force had literally “
thrown down their arms” and fled; 140 pieces
of cannon, a field of battle covered with mus
kets, through away in their flight, their camp
enquipage and tb< military chest abandoned,
form a rich sp.nl, which will go far towards
indemnifying Metheraet Ali for tiie expenses
of his defence.
On this news reaching Captain Pacha, the
Admiral of the Murkish fleet, he immediately
sailed for Canida to give the fleet up to Me
hemet Ali. The French Admiral Lalande,
who lies off the Dardanelles with some ship of
the line, has not hindered the Captain Pacha
from sailing in consequence of this declara
tion. The Prince de Joinviile had reached
Constantinople. Lord Ponsonby had written
to Admiral Walker, ordering him to leave the
command of the Turkish fleet, if the Captain
Pacha did not return to Turkey immediately,

long reposed ill Phelps’ Tomato Pills, it is proper
for the proprietor to request the public to investigate
the. source of tl)e,se publications before lirey are indu
ced to credit their truth and honesty.
An inquiry, for this purpose, n tide at Brunswick,
Ohio, where the proprietor of‘Miles’ Extract’ resided
for a long time and commenced his‘pill career,’ will
be sufficient to render harmless these aspersive insin
uations. Having no desire to injure ‘Miles’ Extract
I would suggest no further inquiry, and am satisfied
to risk the Compound Tomato Pills upon their mer
its in competition to any preparation purporting to
be Tomato. While the effort to blend other prepa
rations to the true Tomato Pills are continued, per,
sons wishing the genuine medicine should be partic
ular to notice that they bear the signature of the pro
prietor, G. R. PHELPS, M, P. but not an engrav

Cotton Establishment.
An investment of $25,000
IS wanted from a company of five gentlemen
I (85,000 each,) for the establishment of a co
ton factory, on one of the most eligible situa
| tions in the Southern States, for health and
convenience, in the County of Mclntosh
(Georgia,) distance from Darien four mile-,
on a bold salt Creek, landing direct from tha
sound of Doboy bar, with a wide and open
view of the sea; forming a crescent. Said
Creek having a depth of water at a bluff lau
ding (where the location of said factory shall
be made,) of at least 14 feet water; —in the
rear also of which is an excellent body of pine
limber furnishing the necessary fuel fnrastcam
Engine.
In the vicinity arc several saw mills, from
which can be got all the necessary material -,
in the progress of the buildings,—The site
also being laud locked, offers a safe deposit for
lumber. The advantages of such an establish
tnent in the neighborhood i.s obvious, The In
ration being a perfectly healthy summer r<
treat ;—the vicinity immediate to Dnrien, where
the choice and selection of cotton can he made,
or at Macon—with the advantages beside, to
neigboring planters in giving employment to
young female servants who can be profitably
employed in preparing the raw material, anil
yarn for market. Investments oflhis nature,
have uniformly resulted profitably nd safe in
the upper part of this State, The establish
mem in view will be the only one known on the
whole southern seaboard. The sum of $11,5011
being taken up, any number of gentlemen wish
ing to embark here will signify the same, to Mr,
Isaac Snow, of Darien, (P. M.) with their
views on the subject.
