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.

STERNE. At a large fire in London ; while the engines were discharging their contents against the front of a house, an inscrip tion on it became nearly obliterated.— “ By my sowl” exclaimed a witty Irish man in the crowd, “ this is a queer time for making a joke,” “ And who is jok.ng ? growled one of the firemen? “Why dont you see, hone}', how you are ploying ppon woids, said he, 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. Fay. Observer “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.” We .helievo it was Dr. Franklin who A pill.—The editor of the N. Y. En quirer published March 25, 1824 the fol 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 law to suit his purposes, and hanged C:;b- ot, Otis, and Lyman, of the Hartford 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 ter, addressed to Mr. James Harrison Anderson ville, S. C. or to the Subscribers at Greenville Court House, S. C. RICHARD HARRISON, B. J. EARLE, Guardians. Sept. 10 36 6t TURPIiN & D’ANTIGNAC, AGENTS. 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.

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 the Post-Office.
