DISAPPOINTMENT.
%ith CJU most blind, but heart most warm,
i look’d on woman—loved and knelt—
* thought within an angel’s form,
An angel’s heart roost surely dwelt.
My fancy gave her all the charms,
That could a youthful heart enthral;
And oh, I long’d within ber arms
To place my life, my hope, my all.
When friendship told me I did err,
Its boding fears my sport I’d make ;
The tie that bound my soul to her,
No hand on earth but ber's could break.
And that fond tie. with one rude blow
Did’st thou, oh woman, coldly sever ;
My hopes have fled, I feel—1 know
That I am now a wretch forever.
Oh woman, I would fain conceal
The thought that breathes a doubt of thee;
frail as thou art, too well I feel
That thou art sacred yet to me.
I'll not reproach, save with the tear
That gushes from a broken heart;
ThepaDg of death were less severe,
Than this these bitter doubts impart. H.
FOR THE GEORGIA COURIER.
FAREWELL.
When eyes are beaming
What never tongue might tell;
"When tears are streaming
From their crystal cell;
When hands are linked that dread to part,
And heart s met by throbbing heart,
Oh ! bitter, bitter is the smart
Of them that bid farewell!
When hope is chidden,
That faiu of bliss would tell.
And love forbidden
In that breast to dwell—
When fettered by a viewless chain,
We turn and gaze, and turn again,
Oh ! death were mercy to the pain
Of them that bid farewell!

A new historical novel, from the pifevi of expressed great
Mrs. Dumont’ of Vevay, Indiana, is
shortly to appear in the west. The Sat
urday evening Chronicle, a literary paper
recently established at Cincinnati, con
tains the following extract from the novel.
The incident is given on the authority of
a gentleman who had spent twenty years
of his oarly life a prisoner among the Sha-
wanase Indians, and who knew the cele
brated Tecumseh familiar as a brother.
Ballamorc American.
“ Tecumseh was retnrning, slowly and
thoughtfully, from the chase, when a
shriek, as of nature’s last and most dread
ful extremity, burst on the stillness of the
forest. He turned, and beheld, through
a vista of the trees, a party of marauding
savages, loaded with the spoih of war. A
female form, whose fair though faded
countenance, bore a strong contrast to
the swarthy and painted features of the
savages that surrounded her, had just fal
len to the earth, exhausted with fatigue
and suffering. With one hand she clasped
a lovely infant to her bosom ; while the
other was raised to avert the tomahawk
that glittered on her closing eye. But
vainly !—the dreaded instilment sunk deed
in her pallid temples, and the sufferer al
ready struggled with throbs of death,
while the babe, now spotted with its moth
er’s blood, was torn from her last convul
sive grasp. It shrunk with instinctive fear,
as it raised its blue eyes ts the dark dis
torted features of the warrior; but he
gave a loud whoop of unimaginable hor
ror, and grasping its little feet, swung it
carelessly in the air, as he approached a
knarled tree to complete its destiny. One
moment longer, and its unstained soul
would have flown with the passing spirit
<>fits mother; but the murderous arm, as
it was drawn back for the last fearful blow,
was suddenly arrested, and a calm, but im
pressive voice bade the savage stay his
ruthless hand ! And who thus dared to use
the language of command to the ferocious
independent son of the forest ? Was it the
aged chief, whose voice resounded in the
councils of his nation? or the warrior, whose
proud front wore the scars of battle ? No
i’ was a stripling, who stood before them,
loaded with the spoils of the chase ; his
olive cheek reddened with the glow, his
eye radiant with the fire of youth. But the
impress of native authority sat on his pol
ished brow; and his slender form was
drawn up with the attitude of command.
The leader of the band quailed before
the glance of his calm but terridle eye ;
and quiedy yielded up the gasping babe to
the extended arm of the stripling.
“ I will give you these,” said Tecumseh,
throwing his load of furs at the feet of the
subdued warrior, “and the child shall be
niioe.” He received a ready assent to
the proposed exchange ; and turning away
with a look of unutterable scorn directed
his exclusive attention to the little vic
tim he had rescued. Its face was yete pur
ple, and its agony, great but the accents of
gentleness again tranquillized its features,
and it soon gazed, without fear, on the
bri ht face ofits deliverer.
satisfaction oo finding
that he fiad pleased neither of the parlies
of his day as an editor of a newspaper
for, as he said, (or might have said,) all
parties run into extremes; all parties,
therefore, are wrong,,and he who steers a
middle course between them must be
right. But it has beeu our good fortune to
make the same discovery as the Doctor;
and ours is the same conclusion. We
have avowed a determination not to sup
port Mr. Adams, and thereat the Adams
men are dissatisfied ; and we have not
given currency to the thousand petty elec
tioneering squibs, slanders, and lies, a-
gainst the administration, and therefore do
not stand very high in the estimation of
the Jackson party. So that, between the
displeasure of both parties, we might
chance to go without dinner, and exclaim,
with the Moor, “Othello’s occupation’s
gone,” if we did not happen to live in good
honest North Carolina, where there will
always be enough decent and dispassionate
men to support an editor who goes with
no party into the regions of Billingsgate,
nor any where else beyond the bounds of
decency and truth.

“Tecumseh again proceeded ho weward;
his lovely burden but added fresh elastici
ty to his steps, and he advanced with ra
pid pace, till the moans of the hungry
babe arrested his progress. He then laid it
on a becTof moss ; and bringing a pheasant
from a neighboring bough, fed his famish
ing charge with its bloo*d. Never had Te
cumseh felt a purer pleasure than that
which warmed his heart when the poor
infant, as he bent over it with anxious cate,
smiled like a cherub in his face. A glow
of holy feeling thrilled through his whole
frame : and the angel of mercy, like the
pillar of fire that guided the wandering Is
raelites, went before him in light, through
the darkness of the forest. He reached
the village, and Yoncacame forth to meet
bitn. She looked for the slaughtered vic
tims of the chase; and, started with sur
prize at beholding an infant, locked in
living slumbers, and clo'hed with the tints
of a pale morning skvpw But alas ! its gol
den ringlets were stained with blood, and
Yonca at once conceived its melancholy
history. “I have brought you a gift,” said
Tecumseh, laving the sleeping innocent in
the ready arms of the compassionate girl.
It is an offering fit for the daughter of
Otulaska. Look at her, Yonca ! she is
fresh from the hand of the Great Spirit,
and pure as the snow flake that falls from
his high dwelling. Take her to your heart;
and let your affections cling around ber
like the vine that embraces and strength
ens the tender sapling. Cheirsited by the
daughter of the red man, and ignorant of
her own nation and its vices, her soul
shall retain its whiteness, like the snow on
the mountain precipice, where no foot
can tread. Removed beyond the breath
of luxury which withers the pale daughters
of her people, like the mists of the green
pool, she shall grow up fleet and healthy
as the antelope, and learn to imitate the
proud arts and active employments of the
Indian maid.”
Yonca obeyed : the infant was joyfully
taken to a heart whose affection gushed
like the tills of spring and boundless
tenderness supplied the place of the del
icacies it had lost. Ilealhty, animated and
beautiful, the babe to whom they gave the
name of Egluree, grew up unconscious of
misfortune, and regarding her foster family
with the utmost fondness. The ptedicrion
of Tecumseh was verified. No mark of
a feebler race distinguished the blue eyed
daughter of adoption. Reared in all the
gloomy magnificence of nature. Egluree,
rose above the sickly fears and ideal wants
of civilized existence. Delicate as the
tenderest flower that reared itsfragile head
in the lap of spring, she bounded through
the forest, mid the roar of winds, and the
howl of beasts of prey. Her fair falling
shoulders, which the scorching sun of re
volving summers still failed to embrown,
were early practiced to share the heavy
burdens of the native female of the forest
Egluree wove the wampum iu a thousand
forms ; she bent the twanging bow; and
witn long slender arms, paddled the tot
tering canoe over the rolling wave.”

A pill.—The editor of the N. Y. En

lowing as the measure of his loyalty to
Jackson, and we shrewdly suspect he car
ries at heart the same register yet.
“Our fidelity to Gen Jackson is measur
ed by his fidelity to the Constitution, and
the orders of his Government, and that
IS NO FIDELITY AT ALL.”
Let the Jacksonians look out! The fol
lowing is much truer metal ; it rings the
changes of a race of sycophants who have
made the servile flatterers of the tyrants
of Europe * laugh at us.’ It was contain
ed in the address of a Jackson committee
to the People of Pennsylvania.
* We hold fidelity to Gen. Jackson, un
der all circumsiancrs as paramount to ev
ery other consideration. Nine years ago,
if he had chosen, with a devoted army at
his back, and the country in a state of dis
traction, he might have assumed the impe
rial purple.' 1
May 15th 1824, the Editor of the N.
Y. Enquirer published the following—
“ The General preferring Monroe to
Madison, because the former could stand
blood and carnage better ; his recommen
dation of military men generally to office ;
his avowal that he would have bent the

Convention, probably includihg the re
spectable Secretary, all exhibir a fero
cious disposition, tramm lied by no con
stitutional or legal barriers, checked by
no humane or just considerations. It is
out of the question out of all reason, to
think of him even for a moment for Pre
sident /”
Wo have one serious question for all
serious and reflecting men : Can the Ed
itor of the Enquirer, now the supporter of
Gen. Jackson, be honest or sincere ?
Pomp.—Pomp is so much the seducing
notion of a Neapolitan, that if he cannot
hire a boy to walk after his wife to church,
he will put on his sword and follow her
himself, to give her an air of grandeur.—
An Englishman would rob on the high
way, or sell himself a slave, with as much
good will as follow his wife to church in
that manner.
ELOPED,
I N THE month of may, 1826, from the service
of Mr. James Harrison, at Andersonville,
Pendleton District, S. C. with whom he had been
] laced by the undersigned, bis gnardians.
AUGUSTUS HARRISON THURMOND, a lad,
then about sixteen years of age, stout and well
made, of full round face, ruddy complexion, light
hair, and grey eyes. He wore, when he went
off, a large Leghorn hat, a oat of figured Bom-
bazett, lead color, with black sprigs, and panta-
'oons of Russia drill or sheeting. He had been
sent by Mr. Harrison, with a loaded boat, to Au
gusta, and on the return, deserted it at Peters
burg, Ga. without any known, or imagined cause.
He was traced a day or two in the direction oi
tiilledgeville, and after diligent search through
Georgia aud Alabam and has not been heard of
since. He has relations in Alabama, and in the
Territory of Arkansas, to whom it was supposed
and hoped he would endeavour to make his way.
But we learn that he has not been beared of
among either; and great apprehensions are en
tertained for'his safety. Whosoever can furnish
the undersigned with any information concerning
him, will confer a most valuable favor by doing
so ; and whosoever will return him to us, shall
not only be indemnified in all expenses, &c. but
shall be most liberally rewarded. Information
on the subject, will reach its destination by let

Have just received a fresh supply of the celebrated
Swaim’s Panacea,
For the cure of Scrofula, or King’s Evil, Ulcers,
Rheumatism, Syphilitic, Mercurial and Liver
Complaints, and most Diseases arising in de-
bilitated constitutions, or from an impure state
of the Blood, &c. iic.
T HIS Medicine has acquired a very extend
ed and established celebrity both in Hos
pital and Private practice, which its efficacy alone
has supported for these seven years past.
■ As a spring or fall purifier it has given new
constitutions to thousands, it is by its operation
on the Blood that such surprising cures have been
performed in numerous diseases.
The effect of this medicine is such as not to in
terrupt either business or pleasure, and requires
only the common restraint of moderation in diet.
It is conveyed by ti e circulating fluids, and cor
rects their tendencies to all those diseases which
originate in vitiated blood, diseased liver, or de
praved appetite. It is a safe medicine, and re
moves all those evils which an unsuccessful use
of mercury so often occasions. No one, how
ever is advised to take it. without first fully con
vincing himself of the truth of what is here stated
and the rectitude of the Proprietor’s intentions.
This Medicine has the singular fortune, a just
tribute to its great merit, of being recommended
by the most celebrated Practitioners of Medicine
in the United States and elsewhere, whereas not
one of the spurious mixtures made in imitation
of it, is supported by the Faculty. This fact of
fers an argument so plain and conclusive, that it
needs only to be mentioned to enforce convic
tion.
From Dr. Wm. Price, formerly Surgeon of the
Pcnnsylrania Hospital, &lc.
Liverpool, (*ng.) Sept. 1823.
The Vegetable Syrup, called Swaim’s Pana
cea, prepared by Mr Swaiin, of Philadelphia,
has recently been introduced here by Dr. Price,
from the United States of America, where it is
now extensively used in the treatment of a varie
ty of Chronic Diseases.
Of the efficacy of this preparation Dr- Price
has had abundant and most satisfactory evidence,
during a course of experiments made under his
direction, whilst Surgeon of the Pennsylvania
Hospital; and since his arrival in England, he
has had the good fortune of witnessing many ad
ditional instances ofits successful administration.
The diseases in which this Medicine has been
paiticularly useful, are those arising from con
stitutional causes—as in the various forms of
Scrofula, whether affecting the bones, joints, or
soft parts; and in cases, where a disposition to
this disease is manifested by debility only, it
operates as a preventive to the local disease by
its beneficial effects on the constitution. It is
equally efficacious in mercurial disease, and in
the secondary forms of Sypilis, and has lately
been gi^en with marked success in chronic dis
eases of the Liver, which had resisted the careful
exhibition of mercury It has, likewise, very re
cently been administered with decided advant
age by one of the most distinguished Surgeons in
London, in a case which had entirely destroyed
the right eye of the patient, and a great portion
of the side of the face. WM. PRICE, M. D.

however meet them all with manly firmness,
and follow the old proverb by saying, “ whatever
is, is right.”
John M. Tillman is no more! I, in particular,
have not only lost a friend, but a faithful servant
in time of adversity, as well as in time of pros
perity, he was true to me in all stages, regardless
of consequences, and true to his trust. He went
to Florida, as my agent, on business of impor
tance, and died in Pensacoia with a severe at
tack of bilious fever—I as yet, have not been in
formed on what date, but it is between the 13th
and 24th of August He was in my employment
from the latter part of 1821, until his death; he
has these last three years, acted as my full con
fidential agent, and has in a number of instances
made himself individually responsible for my
benefit, or the benefit of Hamburg, iu consequence
of which, he, as well as myself, was embarrassed
in pecuniary circumstances.
A solemn pledge was made between us, in case
any thing was to happen to him, and I should be
the longest liver, that I should honorably and ful

therefore hereby give notice to all his creditors
that I will fully comply with this pledge, and that,

or THE
Southern Agricultural’st.
T HE want of a work to which our planters
could refer for information, relative to tbe
Agriculture of the Southern section of the Union
has long been felt, and has long been submitted
to as a necessary evil for which no remedy was
at hand. With a sufficiency of talents and of en
terprise, to conduct experiments to draw infer
ences and to detail them, yet have we presented
to the world, the spectacle of a high minded and
enterprising, agricultural community, destitute of
original agricultural works, aud depending sole
ly oo original communications, or Foreign publi
cations for all our knowledge on these subjects.—
Whilst others have carefully collected and recor
ded the experience of their practical Farmers,
we have permitted the hard earned knowledge
of our farmers to perish with them. Whilst others
have been straining every nerve in the cause, we
have been mere lookers on, whilst they have
advanced rapidly, we have been stationary, or
at best have progressed but slowly. From what
cause has arisen the vast superiority of the North
over the south in all which relatesto Agriculture?
Has it been that they alone have turned their at
tention and profited b> them? Not so. The
Planters of of the South have been as enterpri
sing and as active in their researches, as those of
the North. But whilst the discoveries made by
the latter are brought immediately into notice by
their periodical publications, those of the former
are known but to few for want of a proper vehi
cle of communication. Hence it has been that
their improvements have been more rapid than
our’s, and that we are at this day deficient in this
branch of knowledge. Such being the case, does
it not become our Planters to come forward and
assist in the present undertaking and contri
bute from time to time such information as may
be of service to the community- This work will
be divided into three parts. Part 1st. Original—
Part 2d, Selections and Reviews—Part 3d, Agri
cultural Information.
Part 1st will contain all Original Essays on
Agriculture, Horticulture, Botany, Rural affairs,
and Domestic Economy, Not only the present
staple articles of the South will be attended to,
but also the introduction of new objects of Cul
ture such as the Grape Vine, Olive, Capers, Tea,
SugarCane, Silk Worm and others, which have
yet been untried, &i of course not known how far
they may be climatised. Only that branch of Hor
ticular will !-e for the present attended to, which
relates to the Kitchen Garden, When the pro
per time shall arrive, we are prepared to give
directions for the cultivation of the higher bran
ches.
Part 2d will contain Selections from Foreign
Works on the above subjects so far as they may
be applicable to the soil and climate of the South
ern section of the Union, or may in some way be
of use to our planters. Reviews of such works as
may treat ofthe Agriculture of these States, or
such as may either directly or indirectly have an
influence on us, will be inserted in this part of
the work.
Part 3d will contain brief Agricultural Notices
as that our planters may not remain ignorant of
what is going on, but may have an opportunity of
knowing what is done in the different parts ofthe
world in aid of Agriculture. It is hoped that this
knowledge will be a spur to our enterprise, and
cause us also to make fresh exertions. Here al
so will be inserted a list of Agricultural, Horti
cultural and Botanical Works, and occasional-
ly some notice will be taken of their conteuts.—
Advertisements of Agricultural Works, and Im
plements, or any other which may interest the
Planters generally, will be published on a sepa
rate sheet, and attached to each number.
We hope all such as are favorably disposed to
the work will assist us in contributing to its pages,
and also in procuring subscribers for it. We re
quest, all who are disposed to contribute. to for
ward to us their communications as early as pos
sible. Those who have made experiments with
Grape Vines, Olives, Silk Worms, or any other
articles new to our States, or can give any infor
mation relative to them, we particularly solicit to
communicate what they may know on the sub-
ject-
Communications for this work may be left at

will be attended to.

WHEREAS, both branches of the General As

and delay'in the dispatch of public business, and
is, according to the population in the respective
counties, very unequal—And whereas, also, from
the increasing number of members in both bran

part for their deliberations will not be sufficiently
large for the purpose, and will consequently be
requited to be enlarged at very great expense—
therefore,
Be it resolved. That at the next General Elec

voters be requested to signify to the ensuing Le
gislature whether they wish a convention for the
special and exclusive purpose of altering the 3rd
and 7th sections of the first article of the Consti
