GEORGIA UNIVERSITY.
It may be recollected tbit a. the l ;,s '
session, a resolution was paused directtjg
a full account to be exhibited to 'lie Leg
islature, ol the receipts and disbursement'
of Franklin College, from Ist November
1831, to Ist November 1833. This was
accordingly done, and laid before the'
Legislature at its present session. Mr
Echols of Walton, from the committee,
to whom tire same was referred, has made
the following truly sensible and liberal re
port.
“The committee to whom was referred
au account of the receipts and disburse
ments of the University of Georgia, from
the Ist of November i-831, to the Ist of
November 1833, inclusive, have had the
same under consideration and beg leave
to report. That on a careful perusal of
the said report, they find the respective
debts and credits iu said account appear
fair and explicit, and furnish a distract de
tail of the fiscal concerns of that ins’ilu

enjoved the goner, us patronage of the
Legislature of this State, and has evident

but so long as lhe funds p ov ded, an

Strongest evidence should be given by

The pursuit of literature alone can secure

only remuneration that she requires, and
in fact imperatively demands. Your com

cessary to satisfy public expec ation, and
admonitory to the University of the true
course it ought to pursue. They there

From the Petersburg Inleligenccr.
Frequent meetings have been late y
held in the Northern States, for the pur
pose of obtaining an expression of public
opinion on tho subject of “immediate < -
mancipation.” In almost every case, so
far as we have had an opportunity
judging, the people have sei the seal of
their reprobation upon the nelaci"iis and
“disorganizing schemes” Garrison and
his coadjutors. They have every o hen
exhibited a determination to leave his
matter to the action of he Slave h.ddmg
States, justlv conchi li g thi' an inter,
ference on the pul ol the North, would
he a wanton invasion of their right of
property, and would be attended with
consequences, tho bare anticipation of
which fills the mind with hoior.
The foil wing account of a meeting io
Rochester. N. Y. is taken from the
Bahimoie Gazette:
The citizens of R Chester (New Yo k)
held a meeting on the 13th instant, to
take into consider..tion the efforts now
making to excite the community on the
subject of slavery. Various addresses
were made, and ihe followuig resolutions
unanimously adopted:
Whereas—lt is not only the light, but
Hie duty of all go id citizens. <>o proper
occasion freely to express their semi
meats upon measures which concern .the
National welfare —ami wheieas an at
tempt is now making to excite the
feelings of this community upon
the subject of aNational Slaveiy Society,
which Societies propose me immediate
emancipation ot all slaves in the United
States—therefore, as the sense ol this
meeting.
Resolved, I. That we sincerely de
sire to witness the total abolition ofsla
ery in these 4Jlined S ales, a s soon as it ■
can be done with d ie regard to the rigtits |
of the slave holders, and the vveilare ofi
the country.
2.That wh itevei mavbo our views of ihe
propriety of slavery, we can never sanc
tion a doctrine; which if carried mm
practice, would at once let loose two mil
lions of ignorant and degraded beings
and consign them io pauperism and crime.
3. 1 hat as the q msiiuti of slavery is
one wholly within the jurisdiction of the
respective states, we deem all interfcr
erkce on the part ol citizensot other states
as highly improper mid impolitic.
5. That we approve ot the piinciples
of ihe America.i Colonization Society
and recommend its open;!ions to the pub
lie aid.

AARON BURR.'
The long and troubled career of this
gifted, bu; wretched man, approaches its
chse. His orypu its lengthened gallery,
has not a single portrait on which lhe stu
dent will gaze with more admiration and
regret, or the philosopher with more sur
prise and doubt,than that of Aaron Burr.
T•» bis moment he is a puzzle. The ear
ly part ct his career was all brightness ;
and even op to the motwri when, caught
iu thelotlsofasuper tor mind,he was.dashed
to lhe earth blasted and destroyed —we
know not whether more to admire or con
demn. Even if his guilt were written on
the page of his country’.-, history in col
ours too glaring to be doubted—his pen
nice lias been a long and bitter one. lie
h >s lived io see his name shrouded in iu
famy; coupled with the imprecations of
his coqn ry, and hold a loft as a bua.cn<»
light to guard the unwary fi m lhe wreck
of ambition. He has lived to see and feel
all this, to creep where he has soared, to
be lhe object ol prying and ’(nulling curi
osity, or of averted and sortihii dis rust,
where once he was the -first and the b:igh
test, the cen re of al*. hopes, the observed
of all observers.
He has trod, silently and abstr iCH’d, a
round the walking crowds of the metrop
olis of his country,earning ns daily bread
to bitterness of soul, and schooling ids
high and soaring spirit to endure its degra
dation,'he mocke.y and scorn of his conn
try and his age. History lias no parallel
for such a picture. Camillus, 'disg.ace
was brief, and terminated by a glorious re
ward; Marias left he ruifis of Carthage
tn feed fa' his revenge open his enemies;
& men Belisarius was doomed io beg his
bolus for a few days, when death laid him
in an honoured giave. But Buri has con
trmplated his own ruins for more than a
quarter of a century —has had, during
that long and bitter term, the- poisoned
cbalace presence 1 daily to his lips, has
eat and drank an I slept wiia the hisses
of the world ringing in his years.
He has been guiby; but his guilt his ge.
neraily been misunderstood. It had no
thing sordid or craven spirited in it. Bn
treason was not the treason of Arnold;
and though deserving of censure, he is
also deserving of emmisseration. He

Extraordinary Fortitude. — A gentle
man came from Catwbrotre, Cornwall
two yea s since, and consulted the medic
al officer of the Pl ymouth Eye Infirmary,
on account of a shot which entered his
left eye ball four years and a halt before,
namely, in 1827, from a gon filed a* a
woodcock by another person, producing
instant blindness in the Jell -eye,and uneas
ing pain from :hat time. In exploring
the eve for the shot, through a fi tulous
opening in the scler .lice, a b ny and cry
stabzed lens was extracted, and with it
the supposed cause of his suffering, then
attributed to the spicula? of the b<>ne. in
February 1833, the same gentleman re
turned to Plymouth, and said that the
shot must still be lodged in the eye, as his
pain was most acute, and his fear of los
ing theotheteye from sympathy very
great. A second operation wts perform
ed, at his particular request, and the an
terior jjart of his left eye removed; and
the vitreous hntnor scooped out. The
eye suppurated and sunk, but still no
I shot was found. On the 23d iost. he
came a third time to Plymouth, fcaiiug
blindness also in his right eye, and reqoes
ted to have the remaining portion <»i hi*
left eve extirpated; this was done. In
'hat part of the optic native which expand*
and forms ahe retina, was found a bock
shot, impacted so firmly, that a consider,
able effort was required to detach it from
its bed, in which it'must have been lodg
ed for six years and six months, close'y
embraced by tho nerve. Such was th.-
patient’s ez'reme forti'Ude, that not even
was his hand raised, nor a syllable ol
complaint uttered during the whole oper
ation, certainly the most painful that can
be performed on the human frame. Ihe
patient is doing remarkably well, and i*
alrruidv rewarded wi h relie' for his per--
severance and fortitude. Plymouth Jour

TO MAKE SALT BUTTERFRESH
Put four pounds of s ilt butter into a
churn with four quarts of new milk, and
a small portion ol arnotto. Churn them
together and io about an hour take out
the butter, ami treat it exactly as fresh
butter, by washing it in water and add ng
customary quan'ity of suit. This is a
singular experiment. The butter gains a
bmt three ounces in each pound, and is
in every respect eq lai to fresh butter. It
would be gicatlv improved by the addi
tion of two or three ounces of fine sugar,
pt powder. A common earthen Churn an
swefs the same purpose as a wooden one;
and may be nurrh isrd at any pot shop—

F R THE COURIER
PHREXDLOGY
The co rse ol Lectures dn this novel
and inleiestmg -cu nee, now in progress
at the Presby eiiau Lecture Roam, af
fords a rich ticat to those fond ot *he
study of iitiman character in its various
springs and modifications. As this science
has a most important and intimate con
nexion with education, a subject on which
the public are most wofully ignorant and
mat-entive, these lectures should excite
that attention they so justly merit.
Il was the opinion of the great Spurz
hetnt, who may be styled the Father ot
Phi enology, that the science <»f man has
progressed less than any other species <>!
knowledge since the grand career of the
“ march of intellect” commenced. Now'
as we ail belong tt> the genus, man, and
have t<> do with men in every day’s pur
suits, n seems qni e as important that we
should know something <>| his nature and
qualities, as of sea m >nsters, ex tic
beasts and birds, and the numerous non
descript productions of earth, air and sea,
with which dur over-matvellotts public
arc so easily set agog. We should be
sorry to have it said that the standard < f
tasle in our beloved city, was not suffici
ently elevated to relish an entertainment
so purely intellectual. The style of the
Lectures is singularly felicitous. ‘Tis of
that quiet and chaste kind, the result of
a mind long disciplined to close investiga
tion, and with whom words art lie me e
slaves, and not tyrants of thought.

The Diamond it is said, is generally
in the narrow cicvices of rocks, loose,
and never adherent to the fixed stratum,
as if mindful of its superior origin and
value, it disdains to mingle with inferior
minerals. Thev who are most valuable
in the intellectual or moral world are al
ways found te ired from the common herd
of base nnd inferior rrnrids, and feel too
pure and well informed to corrupt

THE MO TH ER’S FAREWELT. TO HE
WEDDED DAUGHTER.
Go dearest one. my selfish love
Shall never pale thy check ;
PC il e’en a in uher’s tears for thee
Will > in sadness spe ;k ;
Yer bo.v can I with cold de -s check
The ' tntiing tears that s'art !
Hast thou not turned from me to ''welt
Within another’s heart ?
I think on earlier, bngher days,
Wh> n first my lip was prest
Up n they baby brow, whilst th ru
Lay Pel: le-S on my breast ;
In fancy still 1 sue thine eye
Up lifted to my face.
I hear thv lisping tones, and mark
With j «y thy childish grace.
E’en then J knot* it would be thn? ;■
1 tlo'Ught e’en in that hour,
Another would its perfume steal.
When I had reared the flower ;
And yet I will not breath a sigh
How can I dare repine ?
The sorrow that thy mother feels
Was suffered once by mine.
A mother’s love!—oh ! thou know’ei
H >w much of feelingf lies
Tn those sweet words; the hopes, the fe.l/3
The daily strengthening ties :
It lives er - - yet the infant draws
Its earliest vital breath,
And dies but w<ben the mother’s
Chills in the grasp of death.
Will he in whose fond arms thcu
Thi e all of earthly bliss,
E’en feel a love untiring, deep,
An<i free from self as this ?
Ah, n« ! a btwband’s tendeniese
Thy gentle heart may prove !
But never, never wilt thou meet
Again a mother’s love.
My love for thee must ever be
Fond as in years gone by.
While to thy heart I shall be like
A dream of memory.
Dearest, farewell, may angel host?
Their vigils o’er thee keep,
How can I speak that fbarful word,
and yet not weep ?
