I he (whole country is gathered together, men nn ,l women, boys and girls, old and young, niC et and dance, hoot, drink, fight, and u cut up high.” Labor of all kinds is sus pended, villages and hamlets are vacated, and every soul, whether subject to nulita- , rv duty or not, if capable ol shaking a leg, trudge off by dawn of day, dressed in their I best, to the place of rendezvous, which is usually one of the principal towns. It may "be remarked there are generally quite as many women present as men, and three times as many spectators as soldiers. In fact soldiering has very little to do with the matter. Discipline, order, and subordination, are, by common consent, banished fiom tho field,and lost m the din of shooting, hooping, drinking, and dan cing. The People gather together for “ a frolic” “a real tear down frolic,” and ;licy are determined to have it, and 'nave st they do and will.

MONDAY, JUNE 25, 1827. 07* The GEORGIA COURIER will be regularly issued on Mondays and Thursdays, precisely at 2 o’clock, P. M. and it is hoped all Advertisements will be handed in, at least, by 12 o’clock on those days. We had the promise of our Warehouse friends to furnish us with the amount of Cotton received by them respectively for one year, ending the first of the present month, with the quantity now on hand^ but few have gives us the statements soli- cited. We also i equested the agents and owners of Steamboats, who have shipped to Charleston, to give us the amount sent to their respective offi ces ; but although we have been at great person al trouble to obtain what would be interesting to the public to know, we have cot succeeded.— of Only six of the principal Warehouses have fur nished us the -required statements, and but two of the agents of the Charleston boats. May we A. word or two descriptive of the uiode hope, that our friends will not forget, or may find jf proceeding on these Battalion days may i leisure, to attend to this subject before Thurs- not be uninteresting to some of our read- day? ers. The first thing heard in the morning is the random firing of guns, scraping of fiddles, and boisterous mirth and congrat ulations amongst the young rustics. By seven or eight o’clock, sometimes earlier, the IJopsesa commences. 1 he following is the process. Each tavern is provided with one or more fiddlers. Each hand with a sweetheart, a wife or locum tennis. The dance is a three or a six handed reel. \ gentleman asks two others to join him, they pay the fiddler a or a “ levy," and go to work with most huidablo zeal and industry. The fiddler pi lys as if Ins life dopended upon dispatch, end accom panies his elbow with his fort ii the most audible raps upon the floor, by way of keeping time, The dancers, it nv-iy bo supposed, aie not idle; the floor, fa well sanded, and substantial proof given that they do not dance without shoes. 1 he figure S sc/ ’ he whole figure. One of the party call i fora glass of simg, tod- dv, or something of th*-. kind, and placing hi nisei I before his partner, gives her a nod,” drinks first liimsed, and then hands her the "lass; she drinks, and passes it to the next gentleman, who goes op to his i> ropoait tlm ceremony. Thus they drink and dance until -iuqraUiaH number of tones are played, when a fresh party takes the floor, and the dance con tinues. This is one of the principal oc cupations of the day, Evefv man considers it his right, if not his duty, to go where he pleases, do as he pleases, and pay ns little attention as he pleases ; lienee it is the work of a moment to form a line; but generally toward ten or eleven o’clock, after no little noise and confusion, the several companies are formed into what is called a line. And here i view is presented worthy the pencil of Hogarth- Some with sticks, others with a stick stuck into the muzzle of an old pis tol the length of one finger, to represent fire arms. The variety of tates displayed in the uniform of the officers, it is not the least amusing part of the spectacle. Iu due season, the order is given to march to some neighboring field or common, where tho line is again formed. A few evolu tions are attempted ami performed, each in his own time, and after his own manner. The army is marched two or three times round and across the field in a pot-hook line, and then marched back into- town and dismissed, each wonderfully edified and improved in military discipline. The real business of the day is now commenc ing good earnest-Firing guns,routing, dan- cine, courting, fighting, and drinking.— Vnd that the three latter are effectively performed, the Attorney General, in due season, receives ample testimony. This is a Battalion day—training according to law. Extract of a letter received at Charleston, S. C. dated Key West, May 25. “ It is not generally known that there exists through this harbour an outlet from the Florida Stream into the Bay Mexico, through which vessels drawing 12 feet may pass in safety at low water. This pas sage is about six miles in extent, and ves sels, by passing through it, save dangerand and the delay of going ronnd the Dry Tor- tngas. Good pilots can. be obtained it Key West, to carry vessels through. Yester day the brig Bravo, one of Commodore Porter’s squadron, entered this harbour through this channel: she draws 12 feet water. ANECDOTE. In a time of much religious excitement and consequent discussion, an honest old Dutch iarmer,ofthe Mohawk, was asked his opinion as to which denomination of Christians were in the right way to Heav- en ?—“Veil den, (said lie) veil we ride our wheat to Albany, some say dis is de pest road, and some say dat is de pest; but I don’t tink it makes much tifference which road we take; for when we get dare, dey never ask us which way we come—and it is none of deir business-—if our wheat good. For the last three nights, we have had not a little reason to apprehend the appealance of lrost, it has been so unseasonably cold. Nankeen and the thinner articles of dress have disappear ed from the streets, and our citizens are more appropriately dressed for November than June. We have heard of a heavy fall of Hail in Abbe ville District, So. Ca., which has probably been more extensive, and may be supposed to have some connexion with the temperature of our weather. A doubtful report has heen brought fiom Ma deira, of a declaration of War between Spain and Portugal. The Spanish army has re-advanced to the frontiers of Portugal, and the Spanish Go vernment answers the inquiry of that of Portu gal, as to the cause of this movement, by saying P.at it was owing to the assembling the large torce of English and Portuguese troops towards Estremadiira- Portugal has ordered the imme- diale enrolment ot 12,000 men, to act as an army of defence in opposition to the Spanish cordon of observation. Our riven- not me pleasure, as usual, of announcing the fre quent arrivals and departures of our Steamboats. H e are inclined to think our Steamboat friends have not, this year, reaped the golden harvest, which at former periods fed their hopes and ani mated their exertions. Our reasons for this be lief are grounded on the uncertain and low state of the river, and from the greater number of Pole Boats and Lighters than usual. The light craft have affected the interest of the Steamboat own ers in their freights up and down the river, low ering them by competition, and from their being able to run, when the Steamboats were obliged to be idle, they have monopolized a great propor tion of the freight during a particular season of the year. Merchants, fearful of delay if they shipped by Steamboats, have given extravagant prices to have no delay in the delivery of their goods by smaller boats. The latter, at present, swarm on our river like fishing craft on the Banks of Newfoundland. We have heard of a predic tion, that we should have seven years of low riv er, but we believe the public did not put much confidence in the prophecy, till a number of Gun Boats were launched, in almost as quick succes sion as minute guns, just below the South Caroli- end of the bridge. As the author of this predic tion gave such practical evidence of his own be lief in its truth, and as actions furnish more convincing arguments than words, suddenly all, who wished to make money by following the indi cations of the times, commenced their operations with swelling hopes, and the whole bank of our river, for more than a mile, rang with a perpetual rub a dub, like an extensive cooper’s shop. Boats shot into the river from every Boatyard, with such rapidity, and amidst such astounding acclamations, that the fish, wondering at such unusual aggression upon their domains, began to doubt, whether they were really in their own native element. Whether the great Magician, whose example sat all this machinery in motion, had any particular design in it, or whether he was simply acting on his conviction that there would be a continued low river, and was practising on his favorite maxim, “ follow Nature,” he alone can best tell. But this much is certain, the great number of small boats, of light draft, have pro duced a great revolution in the course of our trade, and been the cause of a more natural dis tribution of our staple article than has existed for three or four years past. We consider Savannah the natural place of deposit for our cotton, and not Charleston, to which so large a portion of it has gone for several years. It was shipped here on board ol pole boats, lighters, and every kind of raft that could carry a bale. Some few of these met Steamboats down the river, but by far the greater number passed on to Savannah' in compliance with their shipping contract. Now these kinds of boats could not go to Charleston, and were obliged to unload in Savannah. Few were inclined to re-ship for Charleston at increas ed expense, without the prospect of reaching a better market. But we must wait till we receive tfie expected expositions from the Warehouses, before we can say any thing more on this sub ject EOR THE^EORGIA bow ALCIONAB. OR THE SORCERESS OF MONTILLO: A ROMANTIC TALE. Sullen an'i sail to fancy’s frighted eye, ‘ Did shapes of dun ugd murky dew advance. In train tumultuous, and of gesture strange, And passing horrible! CHARACTACUS- (CONTINUED.) Ia the course of a conversation on the ladies present at the Duke d’Atala’s en tertainment of the preceding evening, the subject of marriage was introduced. “And now we are on the topic,” said the Count to Algonah, “ let me introduce the Mar quis Rondolos as an eligible son-in-law for your daughter Amaranta !” In vain did the Count urge the propriety and eli gibility of such a a match.—The Don put his haughty negative upon the proposal, and declared that he had doomed her to a more holy life in a convent. During what passed on the Prada, the Marquis d’An- tares hastened to the palace of the Count de Bellara, where he found Lady Mara, the Count’s sister, and Amaranta.—He requested a moment’s audience of Lady Amaranta in private, which Lady Mara very willingly complied with; and added, as she went out, “ I have been regretting the want of some spirited and amiable nobleman to make this fair creature his wife, who, unless this happen, is likely to be confined to a cloister for the whim of a tyranical father !” “ When Lady Mara had retired,” said the Marquis, “ f eager ly enquired of Lady Amaranta, what fol lowed Rondo’s visit to the castle, and if Clementia had forgotten me !” “ No,” replied Amaran’a, “ you are ever in her memory.—But where is your friend Ma- rano ?” “ I know not,” replied the Mar quis, “ I have not heard from him for a long time :—but I have another friend, to whose merits I would wish you to do jus tice.—Marano, my dear cousin, was not exactly what you could have wished him to be j” “ I understand who is your friend,” said Amaranta; “I own my gra titude to him—nay something more,—for rescuing me from the flames.—I confess I could have wished for such a brother to share our confinement in the castle. But now, Marquis, that is over,—and I am condemned to a place more dreary than the castle of Montillo—to the routine of a convent; and that, of all convents, the Dominician nuns ! Mv father’s rage daily increases, and my sister’s life is even in danger when I am away !” “ I swear by every thing sacred,” said the Marquis, “ I will protect her.—And,” he added, as he took Amaranta’s hand, “let my friend Olivaro Rondolos also protect you ; his life is at your service.” “ Ah,” said Amaranta, “ but Marano”—“ Cannot be •your’s,” replied the Marquis; “ he was always indifferent to you—but Olivaro’s love is better than taking the veil.” Our farther conversation was inter rupted by the return of Lady Mara, who announced that she expected her brother every moment, the clock having struck nine.—The Marquis immediately retired, and in a few minutes the Count and Algo nah entered. “ We have met with a lover for you Amaranta,” said the Count, “ in our walks ; he has made proposals to your father not, a quarter of an hour ago.”— “ vV hat signtly his prop^d* I” sa id Lady Mara ; “ when we have had a more suc cessful lover, who has but just departed.” “ Indeed,” said Amaranta, “ he is no lov er of mine.” “ Not the Marquis d’An- tares !” vociferated Don Algonah; “Am aranta, were not you aware of my utter detestation of him ?—Hell and furies, is he always to thwart me unrevenged ?— Amaranta, for this you shall prepare for the convent this very night!” He then stalked about the room till his rage was exhausted, and the evening terminated in his usual gloominess, and the determina tion that Amaranta should begin her novi ciate on the following day. Olivaro met D’Antares the same even ing, and learned what had passed, after which some future plans were discussed ; and a serenade, given by the former, un der the apartment of Amaranta, in the palace’ of Count de Bellara, conclud ed the night.—-The lady however did not appear, and an elegant present of fruit, which Olivaro sent to Algonah the following morning remained equally un noticed. Early in the morning the Don conduct ed his daughter to the convent of the Do minician Nuns, where the severe Abbess faithfully promised she should be invisible to the eye of every inquirer except him self. The Abbess herself had been driven from her lover to a convent when young, and now vindictively retaliated upon the unfortunate sisters the severity she had experienced. Under such a superior, Amaranta could expect no indulgence; the gloom of the castle was more support able than the religious routine of the con vent. Amaranta sighed for a companion with whom she could share the pleasures of friendship.—She had placed her affec tions on her cousin, Marano, not from any comparative preference, but from his hav ing been the only one with whom she had been in any way familiar; and his cool ness and indifference had increased that preference. Among the sisterhood Amaranta could distinguish no friend, but amongst the boarders was a young lady named Selina, whose lively manners and innocent con versation afforded her amusement and pleasure. They read together, and ram ble through the dreary gardens; but every effort to shake off the monastic load was unavailing. Amaranta could account for the silence of Marano more readily thail than that of the Marquis Rondolos, who pretended to be so deeply enamoured.— Ignorant that he used every ingenuity to convey a few lines to her, which were al ways interrupted by the sagacity of the Abbess, Amaranta’s prospects of libera tion began to be dimmed by the gloom that enveloped them. This hopeless objection was farther heightened by the decline and death ot ER/ J ^ 0UI1 £ f* r * en( l Selina, whose fine form ^ Mflder the altered mode of life to whf liSh he had been accustomed ; . she threw herself on the corpse of the departed saint, and could be scarcely torn from it, till the efforts of Emelina withdrew her from her friend, and, by her sharing her grief, reconciled her sooner to the melan choly loss. This young lady had been received as a boarder but a few days be fore Selina’s death : her consolatory visits to Amaranta in the cell, and her interest ing manner cemented a friendship between them, and induced the latter to bless the goodness of Providence which had replac ed the friendship she had lost by another. A solemn requiem was performed by torch light to the remains of Selina, after which she was consigned to the -burial vault of the convent. Amaranta had bidden her friend good night, and was sitting in her cell, with her lamp and crucifix before her, ruminating on the awful ceremony of death, when she thought she heard soft and solemn music stealing upon her ear.—In a little time the sou-id melted into words, and she heard herself distinctly called. She started up, and opened the door, but no one appear ed ; the lamp in the mean while expired, and amid the darkness a gradual light shone into the chamber, increasing its brightness, till a smiling and lovely angel became visible, clad in robes of azure and white, and crowned with a beaming radi ance. It was Selina’s spirit, on which Amaranta looked with astonishment and delight.—The figure spoke smilingly :— “ My friend, you will shurtly be with me! In nine days you will go hence !” The sptritthen retired with a look of delight, and the lamp recovered its extinguished brightness. The more Amaranta mused upon the words of the vision, the less able was she to determine their purport, if they bore a general or a literal signification. The conversation of Emelina was formed to relieve the mind from sadness. “ Would you believe (said Emelina to Amaranta, on the third evening after the funeral of Seli na) that a convent is my aversion ? Much less do you think that Olivaro Rondolos is my cousin. I know also the Marquis d’Antares, and the adventure which indu ced him to your acquaintance.” Ama- ranta eagerly enquired if she knew ihe Marquis’s friend, the Count Marano de Pinato.—Emelina sighed deeply, and said, “ Yes, my friend, I do.—I think I may trust you with a secret. The object of your choice is the same : but he is per haps forever lost.” “ What! is Marano dead !” exclaimed Amaranta.—“ If such be his fate, I am ready to take the vows with you.”—“ Indeed’” replied Emelina, “ this would not augment your happiness. The Marquis Rondolas doats on you.— Vour love for Marano is but of a weak growth, cherished mostly by solitude, while the affection of myself for Marano has been considerable from infancy. To an invisible eye, Rondolos is the prefera ble lover of the two. When his generous offers are contrasted with the unnatural and tyranical conduct of your father, you must be either more or less than a woman to reject him.” Discourses like these had their effect on the mind of Amaranta, which naturally loved gaiety. On the followhtg day Emelina was 'called to the grate, and in half an hour returned wim a letter for Amaranta from Olivaro. The letter breathed the most ardent affection, and pressed for a favorable reply. The natural operation of the love of life, and the little prospect of any return of affec tion from Marino, added to the arguments of Emelina, indued Amaranta to return a kind of negative approbation of his suit. Olivaro, on the evening following the serenade, paid a visit to the Count de Bellara, in the hope of being admitted in to the company of Amaranta, and chang ing the determination of Don Algonah, who petrified him with the intelligence that he had that morning immured her in the convent.—From this unfavorable in terview, Olivaro flew to his friend D’An tares, to unbosom his grief. “ You come very opportunely,” said the Marqnis, to relieve me from the tortures of reflection. This morning early I aWokc, and went into my garden to enjoy its cooling shade. In a few minutes I heard a rustling among the laurels, and beheld a tall person, shrouded in a black cloak, advance ; his figure was the same with that I had accos ted in the church at Calatr^va.—After gazing upon me for a moment with the malice of a fiend, he drew from his cioak a letter sealed with black, and which bore my father’s signet.—W hile I looked at the well known hand-writing of my parent, the strange messenger had departed. The letter contained an injunction for roe in stantly to repair to the mansion on the banks of the Tagus, and not to undertake the journey I had projected without his permission.—After a pause of some min utes, I was certain that the disguised could be no other than Pedro, by whom I suspected I had been deceiv ed in the church; but how Algonah, or his agent, could know my inten tion of visiting the castle of Montillo, I cannot imagine. However, I am resol ved to comply w ith the order of the letter, and I will go well armed, that I may know whether I have to do with body or spirit.” f(To be continued.) said hfe spoke advisedly when hfe declar ed he had good reason for beliving -that that Right Hon. Gent, had proposed (when he found that feelings of a hostile nature existed in some quarters against liimj to the King and Mr. Peel, that he should be permitted to retire (so averse was he that Mr. Peel should doso) pro r vided the government could thereby be kept together: but this proposition was of no avail. His Majesty as well as the country was alive to the services and mer it ofMr. Canning, and the consequence of such approval was his appointment at the head of the government and a seces sion of a majority of the Cabinet. —QO©— New Life pic Server—Anew Life Pre server has been recently invented by Dr. Comstock, of Hat tfnrd Conn, and a spe cimen left at our office for examination.— It is made of cloth, in the form of a clyn- der, like a bag, 5 feet long and 4 or 5 in ches in diameter, filled with straps, to tie it round the body. By means of a brass tube with a stop, it may be inflated with air from the lungs in a minute or two, and is 1 then capable of sustaining from 30 to 45 pounds of iron in water. The cloth is ren dered impervious to the water* by a ce ment of elastic gum. A bag made of the same materials lias held water 54 hours in our office without being moistened through. The steamboat McDonough lias been supplied with 50 of these life preservers for the security of her passengers, in case of emergency. Those who may wish to see an experi ment, may be gratified, we understand, as it is Capt.

Since the news brought by the Ship La goda from Liverpool, given below, our market for Cotton may be considered as improved ^ cent. It is certainly more steady. By the Ship Lagoda, arrived at Savanah June 20. Liverpool, 1st May. We see no prospect of Cotton being better for the present, or some months to come- Still if the Import should fall off, and the present rate of consumption continue, or should the demand for goods continue, or sooner or later it must pro duce an advance, but our fears lead us to look more for the reverse. Cottons do not come forward freely from the Brazils, but from Egypt they begin to come, and it is not likely there will be any lack from that quarter, particularly if we judge from the opera tions of the Pachas Agents in forcing off their old There is a steady demand for Sea Islands at 10.1 a 12. LIVERPOOL, 5th MAT. The business in Cotton the past week was lar ger than had been expected ; about 2000 bags, mostly Americans, have been taken on specula tion. The sales on the 38th ult to last evening, were 18820 by private and 290 by Auction, viz ; 380 Sea Islands, 10 J a 17; 49 Stained do., 7 a 9 ; 9360 Uplands- 6 1-8 a 7 ; 4300 Orleans, 4250 at 6 a 8, and 50 at 8 1-2. Upland Cottons have not been offered so free ly, and the prices are fully supported, but Orleans are so pressed upon the market, particularly the lower qualities, that we consider them an 1-8 per lb. lower than last week, and are even lower than a corresponding quality o'. Uplands. The sales to-day are estimated at about 1800 bags. Liverpool, (Saturday,) 5th May. Our Cotton market has continued very steady this week ; the demand from the trade has been good, and the business done is extensive. The lower descriptions of Bowed have advanced about l-8d. per! b-but there is no alteration in other kinds. There has been a limited demand for Tobacco from the trade and foi Ireland at our quotations. Only a few small sales have been made in Caro lina Rice. A postscript of the 7th, tefers for prices to the Circular of the 5th, and says that though the im ports continue heavy, it was thought they would not affect prices. The arrivals at New-York, which bring news from Liverpool to the 9th May. correspond with what we publish to day, received at Savannah by the Ship Lagoda. Later fromLiverpool. By the arrival ofthe ship Lagoda, at Savannah, on the 20th instant, having left Liverpool on the 7th May, we receive the following interesting information, so honorable to Mr. Canning : A public meeting, called by the May or, was to take place on the 10th May, for the purpose of addressing the King on the formation of his new Ministry. At the meeting of gentlemen, at whose re quisition it was called, the Chairman, Mr. Gladstone, in the course of some remarks, said—“With respect to the appointment of Mr. Canning, to whom,the finger of the country seemed to point from every quar ter, as the most able and competent of His Majesty’s subjects.
