T!w jestitinny ol a witness was lately
rejected in Connecticut, after he had been
sworn, and had testified, on the ground of
bis being an Atheist, and not believing .n
a future state ofexistenc#.
The Grand Jury of Hall County, Geo.
have presented as a grievance, ‘‘the privi
lege taken (and apparently connived at by
the genetal government) by the inhabit
ants of the Cherokee Nation, in renting
,nnd leasing the lands of said Nation to the
white inhabitants of the States, which we
the Grand Jury) believe to belong to this
” (Georgia,) and call the attention ;
of the Legislature to this subject. So, the ,
Cherokee war is begun before the Creek
U ended. We always expected and be
lieved that wo should have more trouble
with the Cherokees than we have ever
with their neighbors. It is folly for
us to expect, that they will sell their lands |
at any price. They have already refused, J
positively, and we believe the late ortrani- ;
nation of their government has thrown ad- j
ditional obstacles in the way of such an j
event. Among others, their late constitu
tion is said to recognize the right of inai- 1
vidual properly in the soil, and has made ,
provision for parceling out the whole ter
ritory to individuals in fee simple. Each j
'individual will, therefore, in future main
tain the same right to his land that he has !
ill wa vs done to his horse or his gun. But j
this is a delicate subject, and one which
requires a cool head and a just hand for its
jinal adjustment.
Col. Howard, who died lately at Balti
more, was the highest living officer in
rank in the continental army, extent La
fayette. Gen. Sumter, who is still living
was a m'litia officer, and never Ivtd a con
tinental commission.
There was frost at Raleigh, N. C. on !
the 17th, and at Georgetown, S. C. on the
'18th. We have had two slight frosts the
last two mornings.
The enemies of Mr. Adatns, being foil—
ed in their attempts to fix the charge of
porrnption on Messrs. Adams and Clav,
have changed the parties and have been
at work on Mr. Webster. They charge
Mr. Webster with having accepted a
corrupt proposition from Mr. Adams be
fore his election, to which it is alleged,
h<* was opposed ; and the editor of the
New-York Post, says, “he had been in
possession of the facts a Ions* time* But
v?ifortunately, these cleansers of theAuge-
an stable of American politics referred to
the Hon. John Bailey of Mass., as the
bearer of the proposition. Mr. Bailey in
his letter has pronounced't an “ unblush-
, \nc falsehood.” The calumny was first pub
lished in the Philadelphia Palladium, on
the authority of “two nipmbers of Con
gress.” It was published only three days
before the Pennsylvania election,and was,
no doubt, intended to bear on its result.—
O, infamous !—But notwithstanding, the
administration is still succeeding in the
great majority of the counties whose re
turns have been received. Present gain
in Philadelphia and the counties heard
from, for Mr, Adams over Gen. Jackson,
6,909.
Between the 14th and 21st, 14 nersons
died in Charleston; only two of \ellofr
Fever—six whites.
Many of our friends, from the similarity
of style in Gen. Jackson’s letter to Carter
"Beverley, and Mr. Eaton’s letter, insist
■that the latter must have written the Car
ter Beverly letter, as. if the General could
not write. Now one thing is certain—
both friends and foes will admit, that the
General knows how to make his mark.
We have been constantly reading about
Mr. Beverly’s abortion, Mr. Eaton’s a-
bortion, Gen. Saunders’ abortion, &c.—
If our great men have so many abortions,
kittle great men, we are afraid, will be
•scarce in future,
Cuba is praying, according to a friend
•of the N. Y. Enquirer, for the election of
■Gen. Jackson, that he may incorporate it
-with our Union.

Some of our laughter-loving tenders
inquire, “ Where are your anecdotes ?—
You used to give us a column.” That
was in the idle summer, when we had
loom for them, and nothing else to do.—
JThis is now no time for laughing : days
•ire short—no room—look at the adver-
-isements—they are more profitable than
jokes—though it would be a good joke, if
we get pay for all cf them—a sad joke, if
we do not.
The Cherokees, according to the Ili-
wassean, did not meet the Commissioners
tor making a treaty with them for their
lands, at the time appointed. The com
missioners, after waiting a few days, start
ed home ; but shortly after leaving the
Agency, received a message from, a few
leading Cherokees, wlfcli induced them
to return. Its purport is not known.
Fire.—The Blacksmith’s Shops be-
jpnging to the Penitentiary of Georgia,
with if cnnriderabfe quantity of'seafiooed
timber, were destroyed last week by' fire.
The main building was endangered. The
Governor was personally active in subdu-
i ng the raging element. Loss $3000.
245 persons are said to have embraced
religion and joined the church at a late
Camp-Meeting in Newton county, Geo.
Among the “.Stars” engaged for the
Augusta Theatre, are Miss Clara Fisher,
Messrs. De Camp, Hamblin, Burroughs,
Roberts, and Forrest— he latter gentle
man's engagement is not positive. Mr.
Cooper is gone to Europe. The Corps
Dramatique destined for this place, are
now in Norfolk.
Savings Bank.—We notice that the
last half year'* report of a single savings
bank in London, gives an aggregate ot de
putes for that period of £283,230, 13s.
One-third of which was bv females.
In the last North American Review,
p. 446, speaking of Mr. Clay’s efforts to
procure the recognition of the Indepen-
derice of South America, the Reviewer
remarks that “ his speeches on this sub
ject are among the most powertul and
brilliant productions of his mind, and pas
sages of them were read with enthusiasm
at the head of the South American armies.”
Firginui.-!—Many persons (says the
Virginian,) seem to have forgotten the re
sult of the last presidential election in Vir
ginia; for their benefit we subjoin a state
ment of the votes given for tho several
candinates
Crawford, 7542
Adams, 3058
Jackson, 2290
Clay, 1064 6-102
Majority for Crawford, 1140.
The celebrated Race Mare Arid, was
sold at auction, in Richmond, on the 16th
inst. for $1600 She was bought by Mr.
Wvnn. The celebrated horse Edipse,
was sold at New-York, on the 11th inst.
for $8050, and his vanquished competitor,
Henry, for $4100.
New-Jersey.—We have ascertained,
says the Trenton True American of Sa
turday, 13th inst. that there are a
majority in favor of tho Administration in
both houses of the Legislature. There
will be a majority, if we are not greatly
mistaken, of 17 at least in Joint Meeting.
Buchanan's Statement.—A gentleman
who is travelling about this state, getting
subscribers to a new edniott of Eaton's
/ ife of Jackson, informs us 'hat Buchan
an’s statement is a terrible damper to his
business. Many' persons, he says, who
had promised hint to subscribe, or given
hint encouragement that they would do so,
now decline altogether.—
Kentucky Commentator.
Expected Naval Action.—The brig
Gulden Grove, a* New York, from New
Orleans, reports that a heavy cannonading
o f frnm four to five hundred guns, had a
'short time previous to her departure, been
heard off Mobile. It was supposed that
the Mexican and Spanish Squadrons had
met at that place, and engaged in combat.
No further particulars had been received.
[From the New-York Enquirer.}
She has finished her education."—Do
you observe that young lady with a com
pressed shape—an enormous French hat
—a superabundance of chains, bracelets,
crosses, golden hearts, &c. dec. mincing
her steps through Broadway 1 "She has
finished her education." Observe Miss
Prissy with her hair tnpapilote, her slip
pers sjip shod, her calico morning gown
unhooked, her eyes half closed, and her
mouth in the sulks, slide to the breakfast
table at 9 o’clock. “She has finished her
education." See tint young lady lol
ling on 'he bed dc crying over a novel.—
“ She has also finished her education."—
Only mark the fine, bfdd, independent air
" hicb Miss Dashaway puts on as she sails
through the drawing rooms—a nod to one
—a smile to another—Harry how de do,
when do you marry? Bless us a quadrille;
Bennett play “ Go to the devil and shake
yourself.” “ Engaged sir, for the next six
cotillions.” “ She has likewise finished
her education." Observe that voting lady
at (he piano, thrumming the march in the
Freychutz and squalling out of all tune &
harmony, unavoche, or“ Love was once
a little boy.”—“ She has also finished her
education."
The fact is, that young ladies at the
present day finish their education before
they have actually commenced. They
mistake tlie mere elementary and introduc
tory pttrt of their education for the com
mencement, when in fact, the commence
ment may be dated from that period when
mind and faculty develope themselves and
embrace in a comprehensive manner, all
the details and items of early instruction,
giving to each, force, stability and finish.
If is before the flower puts forth its ge
nial buds, that it is taken from the parent
stalk, and though admired and carresed for
a tune, it soon withers.
The Liverpool Albion, in noticing this
subject remarks—
“ T* eie is a lady, of whom I have some
knowledge,that‘finished her education.’—
bv leaving peculiary good advantages at
an early age. She is now a wife and the
mother of six children. She plays well
upon the piano—sings sweetly—dances
elegantly—is very polite, &c.—But her
husband must, and actually does, put all
the children to bed, andt takes care of them
through the night ; and as to her table,
the bread is execrable, to one who has
visited his grandmother’s pantry—and
her coffee—O / her coffee !—it would
cost her her head, if the very scent ot it
leached the Grand Turk’s palace—and
yet the lady lias 'finished her education.’*
TiTE ELM TREE.
We are informed it is m contemplation to
erect a stone, or some l#ting memorial,
with suitable inscription, upon the spot
upon which |he“ Great Elm” stood.—
Our readers are aware we allude to the
venerable elm tree under which the impor
tant treaty between William Penn and
the Indians was held, in 1682 The plan
commemorating this interesting event, up
on the spot where the transaction took
place, is happily conceived.—Penn. Gaz.
“The truth strikes upon the ear, when
men are sobered bv the labours of the day,
when no mortal eve sees them, aDd when
the twilight, and the silence, and the lone
liness combine in causing it to make a
deep impression.”
Grand Garden.—A new place of sum
mer’s recreation, is, we understand, to he
opened, early in the next season, in the vi
cinity of the metropolis. It is to be got
up after the fashion of Vauxhall Garden,
that famous and delightful resort for the
Londoneis—and several wealthy and pub
lic-spirited individuals, have, we are told,
formed themselves into a company for the
purpose of carrying the project into execu
tion. The walks or promenades, are to
belaid out in the most extensive and taste
ful style—with here and there, elegant re
cesses for the accommodation of private
parties ; while the amusements will con
sist of grand concerts of vocal and instru
mental murre, and splendid fireworks and
illuminations. Eve. Gaz.
