FOR THE GEORGIA COURIER.
THE HERAL D’» SONG.
Sir Knight from the til! an-l tournav away—
Rost thy spear aiiJ thy lance fur you bower so gay ;
Mount, mount thy fleet charger, fur I'm bidden to say,
The maide.na and minstrel now marvel thy slay.
There are lights in von castle, through bower and hall,
And the banquet is waitiug thy bugle’s last call,
• While every fair lady has a bright glance for thee,
And the best smile of friendship, thy true greeting shall be.
There's a song for the chieftain, the prize he has won,
In tilt and in toureay so gallantly run;
The earland wreath’d banner unfading shall wave,
To welcome again the gallant and hrav e!—
Then haste thee, Sir Knight, from the tournav away,
Rest thy spear and thy lance for von bower so gay—
Mount, mount thy fleet charger, for I’m hidden to say,
The aiuidena and minstrel now marvel thy stay.

MOONLIGHT.
To be alone, when Luna walks abroad,
And mantles all with pahe funereal light.
And see the calm serenity of Nature-
Sheds a soothing calmness o’er the sou!.
’Tm then “ the soul turns on itself
And startles at destruction.”
Tis then (as Byron sung) that we “ become
A part of things around us,”
And feel “ divinity.” which 11 moves within us.
’Tis then the hour for contemplation
When abstract we may turn willtin us.
•*Tis then (tempestuous passions lulled)
The soul “ delights in virtue.”
’Tis th p n a sense of moral rectitude
Diffuses o’er the soul a tinge of melancholy,
« L : ke the remembrance of joys that are past.”
Pleasing and mournful—and the retrospect
Bri ngs not a thought of fearful reckoning.”
’Tts th'n the weary watchman, as he slowly treads
Some old and mors-grown battlement,
Thinks of his"country and in the airy battles
Of his fancy, plucks a wreath of glory.
’Tis then, when silence deep and dreadful
Broods o’er Nature, that the clock’s dull sound
Falls on the heart, appaling and oppressive,
Telling of that dread hour, when thing's.
Which to “ lie resolved are hast'ning,”
Sha'l find the end of being,
And those vast worlds which float
In th’ expanse of * ther
3hall fall i t dread confusion
'Mid last convulsive throes of Nature.

The force of nature is eminently displayed in
the following elegant Ballad :
Till’. MOTHER AND HERCIITLI).
Twas on a cliff, whose rocky base
E idled the Brior wave;
Whose cultur’d heights their verdant store
To many a tenant gave.
A mother, led hy rustic cares,
Had wander’d with her child ;
Unwean’d the babe—yet on the grass
He frolick’d and he smil’d.
With whatde : ight the mother glow’d.
To mark the infant’s joy ;
How oft would pause, amid her toil,
To contemplate her boy.
fet soon bv other cares estrang'd,
Her thoughts the child forsook ;
Caiele-« he wanton’d on the ground
Nor caught his mother’s look.
-C ;»t w as each flower that caught his eye,
’Till scrambling o’er the green;
He gain’d the elifTs unsheltered edge ;
And pleas'd, survey’d the scene.
'Twas now the mother from her toil,
Turnd to behold her child—
The urchin gone ! her cheeks were flush'd,
Her wandering eye was wild !
She saw him on the cliffs rude brink—
Now carlessly peeping o’er !
He turn’d, and to his mother smil’d.
Then sported as before.
Sunk was her voice—'twas vain to fly ;
’Twas vain the brink to brave—
Oh, Nature! it w- sthine alone,
To prompt the meaus to save.
She tore her ’kerchief from her breast,
And lai.l her bosom bate ;
He saw, delighted—left the brink.;
And sought tire banquet there.

Anecdofe of Gen. Hamilton.*— During
the life lime of this distinguished stateman,
a;ul while on a journey to Albany, he
cii meed to put up for a night,at a tavern in
one of the small villages on ihe Hudson
river, where a Mountebank had advertised
a display of his ingenuity at slight-of-hund,
slack wire, &c. on that evening. Induced
by motives of curiosity, aud a desire to
while away the tedious hours of a win-
ters’s evening, the General look a front
seat in the apartment allotted for the per
formances. His keen, piercing eye did
not escape the observation of the Juggler,
who going up to him, dchanding him a sil
ver dollar, politely requested him to hold it
lest it might escape his fingers without his
knowledge. The General, thinking some
harmless trick was intended, and beine
desirous of humoring the joke, very readily
accepted the dollar, and clenching it fast
■»’ hand, waited in momentary eipoc-
ention, that I got through the perform- | bear “ the test ot human scrutiny, of tal
:e much belter than I anticipated when ; ents and of time”—a private, life honor
able to himself, and a public one honor
union of some attempt being made to
extricate it from his grasp, without his
privily.—The Juggler whenever be at-
neinplej to perform a new trick, would
first cast an enquiring glance at the Gen
eral, as much as to say, “ Bow look out for
the dollar,” when the former would im
mediately look in his hand, to convince
hiouelf that he was yet in possession ot
it. A fit the performance had ended, the
Mountebank requested bis dollar of Gen.
H. who on returning it, observed that he
could discover no trick in it. “ 1 do,
though, ” replied the Moumebank: »“
You had not been three minutes in the
loom, when I perceived that if I did not
do something *.o divert your attention, you
would delect every trick 1 attempted; I
therefore gave you the dollar to hold, and
managed to have it absorb so much of your
atte
ance much belter than I anticip
vou first fixed your eyes upon me.” Gen.
H. it is said, was highly amused with this
chef d' oucre of the Juggler and pronounc
ed it the best “ trick” performed that
evening.—Scoharie Republican.
—003—
CHARACTER OF BOLIVAR.
It was ou the 18th of Oct. that I was
introduced to Bolivar. I cannot say that
I felt not, at the moment of introduction,
the peculiar sensation which the presence
of one who had filled the world with his
deeds, naturally inspired. If I had any
sentiment approaching to humility on the
occassion, arising from awe inspired by
the moral influenca of the man, it was dis
sipated by the mode in which he received
me, with a cordial downright English
shake of the hand. It is the historian’s
business to do justice to his general char
acter, I can only describe how I saw him
at a short inlet view, when not under the
influence of excitement of any kind. As
a man, lie had, in my view, achieved ntoie
than Washington. He had delivered his
country without foreign assistance, and
under every possible disadvantage: No
France had tendered her armies, and het
wealth to aid him. No Franklins, and
Henrys, and JefTersons, were at his right
hand, nor the stern uncompromising vir
tue of the New England race. The ig
norance and the utter want of experience
of those around hint, both in civil and mil
itary affairs, threw every thing upon hi
genius; lie dared nobly and succeeded.
His talents in the field, and his invincible
perseverance in spite of every obstacle,
no not surpass his skill in raising resources
for war,and impressing his fellow-citizens
with confidence in his ability and respect
for his government as a chief of the peo
ple. How he kept down, and contolled
faction, quelled mutinous dispositions, and.
having sacrificed every shilling ol his for
tune in the cause of his country’, pursua-
ded others to follow his example,is a pro
blem difficult to solve. In these respects
no one ever surpassed him. In the move
ment of larger armies, with better formed
materials, he may have been excelled, but
in the passive qualities of the soldier,
ihe rarest found united in th military char
acter few or none, have equalled him.—-
Hunger, thirst, torrid, heat, mountain’s
cold, fatigue, long marches (in respect
of distance from Caraccas to Potosi, from
the centre of the northern half of the tor
rid zone almost tothe extreme limit of the
southern on one occasion,) in desert and
burning sands, all were borne by him and
his followers with a patience never out
done by similar, or any other moans, and
crowned with complete success- He has
been accused of his ambitions view toward
absolute power, time car> alone settle this
point. He has yet shown no such dispo
sition, but rather the reverse.
The person of this extraordinary man
has perhaps been before described ; be is
in make slender, but of an active and en
during frame, about five feet seven inches
in height; his features raiser sharp, nose
aquiline, and expression firm but not strik
ing in the way of intellect; moreover, Iris
face generally bears marks of hardship,
and is care-worm. His eyes are penetra
ting rather than intelligent, and he seldom
suffers a stranger lo get a view of them; at
least I found in the inlervi vvs I had the
honor to hold with him, that this was the
case so much, that it even lessened him in
my estimation,-as the habit of any one not
looking you fairly in the face in society
is apt to do. His brow* is wrinkled bv
thought and anxiety, so much, that a scowl
seems almost always to dwell upon i?. In
giving an audience, sitting, as was a cus
tom, lie seemed to want the easy carriage
of person in such a situation, aud had an
awkward custom ofpassing his hands back
wards aud forwards over his knees. H IS |
delivery was very rapid, but in tone
monotonous, and be by no means gave a
stranger an opinion favorable to his
urbanity. The qualities of a stern re
publican soldier must, however, be ex
pected to differ from those of the courtier
of the European school, who is seldom a
hero; and it would be strange enough, if
the person of Bolivar should not have been
in any way tinctured with the stormy, war
like and singular character of the chequer
ed scenes he had encountered.
The following is the description given
of Mr. Adams iu the Address adopted by
the late Administration meeting iu Louis
ville :
A man who from his youth, has been
trained up in the politics of the country,
and whose name is found every where
conspicuously connected w-ith its history.
A man who in his you’ll was distinguish
ed for his correct habits, his assiduity in
acquiring useful knowledge, whose char
acter for integrity and patriotism has nev
er been quesiioned by the bitterness of
party spirit*
A man of the first order of intellect; of
long experience ; calm and deliberate iu
his measures, and firm in his purpose.
A man who through his whole life pub
lic and private, in all its particulars, will
of tal-
able to our country.
A man who was pronounced, more
than thirty years ago, by our political fa
ther, the sainted Washington, one of our
most valuable characters.
A man who enjoyed the confidence,
and participated in the administration, of
Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Mon
roe,
The-man who first introduced in the
councils of the nation resolutions laying
the foundation for a general system of in
ternal improvement.
A man pronounced by Monroe entitled
to confidence from his long service, bis ac-
kn.r.vledged'abilities, and unquestioned in
tegrity.
A man declared, by Gen Jackson him
self, in the hour of difficulty, to be;an able
helpmate, whose connexion with Mr.
M otir-e’s administration would afford gen
eral satisfaction.
A man ofvvhom Monroe said, that what
ever there was of excellence in his admin
istration, was greatly to be attributed to
his counsels.
A man, who has been described for up
wards of thirty years, bv, Mr. Jefferson
as able, honest, and learned, aud one who
would make a safe Chief Magistrate of
the Union.
It is attempted to bo impressed on the
public mind by the advocates of’ General
Jackson, that when Mr. Clay came to
Washington in the winter of the presiden
tial election, he was undetermined whether
to give his vote to Mr. Adams or Gen
eral Jackson, being desirous to ascertain,
in the first instance, whether General
Jackson, if elected, would make him Sec
retary of State. How does litis square
with the following sentence from General
Jackson’s let’er to Samuel Swurtwout, of
the 23 of February, IS25— ‘ I am well a-
ware that term, “ Military Chieftain,”
has,/or some time past, been a cant phrase
icith Mr. Clay and certain of his friends ;
but the vote with which I have been hon
ored by the people, is enough to satisfy
me that the prejudice which was thereby
sought to be produced, has availed hut lit
tle.” If Mr. Clay had been previously
so industrious in his endeavours to preju
dice the people against Gen. Jackson, are
we to bo persj'aded that he had not
made up his mind to oppose his election
Lry his personal influence also 1 Is it like
ly that he would make a corrupt overture
to a man, whom, by his opposition, he had
made his enemy 2 The advocates of Gen.
Jackson count largely upon the public cre
dulity, when they expect to make pros
elytes by efforts like these.
Peach TVine, dried Peaches, Syc.-—Re

I NFORMS his friends and the public, that he

Commission Merchant, for the disposal of every
Duane
street, east side of Broadway, and at the Medical j
store of Dr. Hart, corner of Broud-way and j
Chamber street, 3 doors from Washington Hall,

The astonishing success which this remedy has
obtained in restoring habitual inebriates to so
briety, has established its virtues beyond all con-
tra.iiction, and supersedes the necessity of any
further comment.
The remedy is as innocent as it is effectual; so
much so, that it is often given to children in fe-
blilo forrudamts. and freouentty ncpsa family
medicine for Dyspepsia, &ic. All that is requireip
to ensure its specific efiect is to abide strictly by
the directions. It is put up in packages sufficient
for one individual cure, a id accompanied with
ample directions for its use, signed inthehand-
wiitiug of the subscribers, w ithout which none
are genuine. We are induced to adopt this mea
sure, as in consequence of the great celebrity
which Dr. Chambers’ 'medicine lias obtained,
there have been, and doubtless will be, many spu
rious imitations. On enclosing to us the usual
price. $5. postage paid, the medicine can be sent
by mail. To those who are unable to pay. on
