land LOTT BUY LIST.
I 'lHOM an examination of the I.and Lottery
) lusts, published here, rye are convinced
that reference to them for particular lots ol laud,
most be attended with very great inconveni
ence These. Lists are, notwithstanding, ar-
rango l in the best manner possible, under the
ciicuinstances attending their publication, it
has occurred to us that, after the drawing is com-
pitied, a l.isl may he published obviating all the
iiiconvi'iiivnces found to exist ill tile present
ones. This is the plan ofit :—
We a-ilt biffin with the Third Section, or Troup
County, that being the most important—take the
fast district in that Section, and arrange the lots
Tii tint district in numerical order, iium one to
the last number, describing the quality of the land,
Bud specifying by whom it was drawu, and his
place of residence. We will then pass to the
ficcond District of that Section, and give the same
information with regard to it, mid s„ on, through
all the Sections, Districts and Lots. A List ar
ranged on this plan, it seems to us, must present
many facilities and advantages to the public.
Ii is obvious i* every one, that such a work
cannot be commenced before the completion of
the drawing. Ifsulficienl encouragement is of
fered, it will then (m published with all possible
expedition, and sent by mail, in sheets, to the
tubscrihers.
Tor the whole List (in advance in all
instances) $3> 00

vances also) 1, 00
All communications must come post paid.

A HINT TO HUSBANDS.
If your wife is 11 u amiable woman, if,
as the wise man says, there be kindness,
meekness, and comfort in her tongue,
then is her husband not like other men.
(Eccles. xxxvi. 22.) Prize, therefore,
her worth ; understand her value ; for,
great indeed is the treasure you possess.
Speaking of women, a late writer says,
*• I consider a religious, sensible, well-
ored woman, one of (he noblest objects
in creation : her conduct is so consis
tent and well-regulated ; her friendship
so steady ; her feelings so warm and
gentle ; her heart so repleat with pity
uid tenderness.” No where does sh,
appear to so much advantage as in the
chamber of the sick ; administering to
he wants of the sufferer, sympathising
in his pain, and pointing to his heavenl)
• e«t ; as our great Scottish bard sax*,—
“ When pain and anguish wring the brow,
A ministering augi l thou!”
0 ! lioiv much uuie lovely and inter
esting to tbe heart does she appear in
-urli scenes, than in all the blaze < i
eauty, armed for conquest, and deco
tated for the brilliant exmbition of a bail
iootn.
Among the many amiable qualities o(
a woruau, I cannot help noticing two.
ith which 6he appears gifted in a pe-
.uliar degree—resignation and fortitude.
I remember hearing an eminent ph)
ician say, that he has been constant!
tut k with the superior quietness and
rsignation with which women supported
bodily pain and suffering, as well as all
he olher evils ot human life ! When
1 speak thus, l of course allude to Iht
sensible and superior part of the sex.—
Let not, therefore, the military or nava
hero suppose that fortitude is confine^
a his own profession ; that it could on
ly be met wish on the plains of Water
loo, the waves of the ocean, or the burn
ing deserts of Egypt ! No : it may also
be sought and tound in the gentle breast
of woman. It accompanies her to the
retired and silent chamber.; it supports
fier under pain and sickness, sorrow
d disappointment ; it teaches her to
sympathize with her husband and all
around her, and to inspire them wit!
patience by her words and example.—
And whileshe seeks no notice, no reward,
but the regard and approbation of her
heavenly Father, she meekly acquiesces
in his divine will, and says under every
trial, “ Father, not my will but thine br
done I”
Has it never been remarked, how
very superior, in point of discretion,
woman is to man ? Now reader, do nut
mistake me ; I mean not to say she pos
sesses more sense than, in tins par icu
Iar, man claims and we allow him, the
prerogative ; though certainly, it is nol
every lusiance that proves its truth.—
But in tbe quality of discretion, woman
is decidedly and undoubtedly his supe
rior. Unless it particularly concerns
himself, a man seldom loi,k9to the future
consequences of what he either says ot
docs, especially in small matters, or
common place occurrences. Now a
sensible woman sees at once the tit from
the unfit, attends the minutr® of things,
and looka through existing circumstan
ces to their probable result. Iu short,
a proper definition of the word discre
tion, would exactly convey a just idea ol
my meaning.
Mrs. H. Moore says, “ There
large class of excellent female charac
ters, who, on accouut of that very ex
cellence, are little known ; because to
he known is not their object. Their
ambition has a better taste ; they pa?
through life honored and respected in
iheir own small but not unimporlan'.
■qihere, and approved by Him, “ whose
they are and whom they serve,” though
their faces are hardly known in promis
cuous society. If they occasion little
sensation abroad, they produce much
happiness at home. These are the wo
men who bless, dignify, and adorn so
ciety. The painter, indeed, does not
make his fortune by their sitting to
him ; the jeweller is neither brought
into vogue by furnishing their dia
monds, nor undone by not being paid
lor them ; the prosperity of the miihoer
does uot depend on fixing their names to
a cap or a colour ; the poet does not
celebrate them ; the novelist does not
dedicate to them ,—but they posses?
the affection of their husbands ; the at
of the wise and good ; and, above all,
they possess bis lavocr, “ whom to
kuo v is life eternal.” O! proud lords
f the creation, if Heaven, in its great
kindness, has blessed you with such a
wife, bright indeed rose the sun on your
nuptial morn ; prize her, love her,
honor her, and be. it the study of your
life to make her baupy.
But the sacred volume places lh.e va
lue and importance of domestic virtue 1
in the female character, in a point of
view at once mure grand and eleva efi
>han any modern production, as may be
plainly perceived in the following ex-
iract. “ As the sun when it. tiseth in
the high heavens, so is the beau y of a
good vvifa in ihe ordering of her house,
l'tie grate, of a wife delighteth her bus
hand, and ;; silent and loviog woman is
tie gift of tbe Lord. A shame-faced
and faithful woman i? a double grace,
and her continent mind cannot be vaiu
.■d. Bl-s?ed i? ttie man that hath a vir-
>uou? wife, for the number of his day*
• hall be double. A virtuous womati re
jr>iceth her hit band, and be shall fulfil
tbe years of his life iu peace.”
MY UNCLE’S WEDDING.
My tThcle was a man of oilier year9 :
that is, his habits of acting and thinking
were all formed in the old school. He
lived twenly years with an old fashioned
wife ; and as they had been born and
:>rouiht up togeth r, they got along ve
ry well, & were as hearty, thriving, hap
py a couple, as any that are to be found
0 this day in Annandale. But the good
woman died at last ; and my uncle could
not endure a life of single blessedness,
as some rail it ; it was very wretched
ness to him. So he married a new wife,
with new notions, new fashions, and all
the et cetera* of the modern school.—
He thought he did a very wise thing.—
Aud he lapped me on the shoulder, ju?t
as we wrre setting down to the wedding
uppFr ; “ Bob,” said he, in a half whis
per, “ get married ; there is nothing
ike it.” “ Certainly, sir,” said I, for
1 reverenced his counsel, •* but it you
.lease I’ll stand by aud luuk on a little
longer.”
VVhen the hustle and noise were over
a little, I went down to the Dale to spend
the summer with my uncle. The good
dome had begun the work of reforma
tion ; cunning as a fox, she had broken
ground gen’ly at first. I here was a
rich, new mirror, hung low in ttie par
lour ; a bold encroachment, tor tbe old
gentleman used always to hold that look
ing glasses were only made to shave by
and that nobody w ho don’t wear a beard
ever ought to lock in one ; according-
It, his own glass had hung chin high foi
a quarter of a century, and not one ot
his own children had ever seen its own
face until they knew Ihe use of a razoi.
One after another the old articles of
r n mi rare weie displaced, and new car-
nets, chairs, tables, Sic. &c. introduced,
by my good aunt ; and whenever bet
spouse evinced the slightest disposition
to he angry, she give bun a good natur
ed chuck under the chin, and assured
the dear fellow that a good wife was al
ways mistress oi her house, and that the
was determined to be a good wjfg and
rule the. roast in her own dotni. il. B -
■ides, she taught my uncle that hi? hand
some fortune entitled him to look a ltlilc
above his neighbors ; to claim that qua
lity which should, as much as possible,
exclude the idea of equality, a vuigai
loctrine that had long been prevalent iu
he Dale.
My good uncle yielded inch after inch
to his worthy spouse, until the old house
was tilled up in great style, and a com
own farmer would handy know where,
o set down his great clumsy foot in it.—
She obtained over him a wonderful as
cendancy some how ; for he got to be a-
docile as a lauib. Sometimes, it is true,
he looked sorrowful, and sighed deeply,
and took hi9 broad brimmed hat and
cane, and trudged over the fields to
neighbor Hodge’s, to sit and smoke hi?
pipe again in an eld oak chair by the
great chimney-place, and w hen there, he
seemed loth to go back again ; but h*
loved peace, aud always went home at
tea time.
My aunt was a woman of talent. Sh.
did one thing at a time ; she was sure H
lie successful in whatever elie under
took, for she bent all her mind to the
single object. It is this singleness ol
purpose that removes mountains. She
had now set her house to rights, as she
. ailed it, and from sundry hints and pre
parations, l began ere long to surmise
hat she intended setting her old man to
rights next.
There was very little of the dandy a-
bout my unde. He wore a great brim
med Lat upon his hale round head—a
?had bellied coat of greasy green, wilh
dark ivory buttons, a vest of the genuine
old school, of idle-materials nod trap
pings, velvet small clothes, buckles, and
very large shoes, and made a very port
ly, venerable appearance in the sun.
Besides which, lie used spectacles and
tobacco, and trod flat upon bis feet tjjteu
he walked.
My aunt began her second campaign.
She bought him a wig and a quizzing
- gla°s, declaring that he looked fifty years
rBi- -.TiiT7—Tj—i ■ nrnTj-rr rrm- -rr", -.ran
gut them on too. The old man was a
lil’le testy, but she took ’dm by the arm
and brought his bald pale a ml spectacle-,
before the mirror—she ws- a tine I o.k
ing young worn to, and my uucic, I think
felt a little ashamed to appear so old.—
At any rate this was the argumeut she
used. II-s tobacco box went next. M
uncle scolded—my aunt reasoned—an ’
she beat him in the argument—though
he argued that tobacco was necassary L
preserve his teeth, she sen 1 mr a den
tist and had them plugged aud scoured
ill he fairly cried for mercy, aud assur
ed the dentist they would last forever.
But my uncle’s troubles did not err
here. The next lima his good lad
went to town she bought him a new -u
of bright blue cloth. The coa'. aud vcsi
would not meet round him by abou
eight inches ; but tny aunt gravely told
Meat her husband was not to lock like •
milling bag, the clothes wove of a pci
b elly genteel shape and size, and if ihcy
’id’nt til him, he must fit them —
th.it was all. So afer bandying a
good many mire hard wouls than
bad been used in his house befor**,
she got six thicknesses of flannel ■ li him
aud as he had grown in his way ol’dres
sing raiher too large, Bhe fi.ted up use’
of her old stays, and compressed his ro
nudity a few inches more—when the
cloihes went on and buttoned. She hue
a good deal of sweetness in her disposi-
lon, however, aud she assured him over
and over, as he sat gasping for breath
be?ide her, that he would soon grow
quite gr nteel, and the clothes bec.m
very easy, by dieting a little.
My uncle’s standing tstahlishment still
required alteration, however. Th
good dame vowed, that at present, in In
new coBtunie, he looked just like a t n. -
key—that his great feet were a ve i
“Candal to his appearance, and she g'. ;
him a small pair of boots which were go
■in to the infinite disaffection of sundry
grievous corns, which had been undis
turbed by pressure for years. My un
de could neither walk nor breathe with
•ut pain ; but diet and exercise wen
orescribed—and he was a subdued man
Me went limping about when .I left him,
and ihe last words he said to me were—
“ Bob Boh take care how...
von ...marry." With a long breath and
a sigh between earh word.
I have since heard with infinite re
gret, that myHincle is crazy. That
whenever he goes in the sun, he pro
teets that the shadow of Timothy O! t
heart is missing ; and that the devil in
the shape of a dandy pursues him at eve
ry step, and always keeps somehow be
tween him atid his lawful, portly, old
fashioned shade. It is sad news, Messrs.
Editors, and you will pity, with me, the
orroivs of the poor old man.

wlio, (iy a most gallant attempt, achieved at the
peril of their lives ihe capture of that daring trai
tor und spy, Joseph Deltys.
The veaeiauio Col. Bill, President
>f the Day, then rpse and begged leave
0 mention a tew facts in relation to
Be tys, uud his capture, aud a* nearly as
-ve can recollect, the substance was as
follows :
“ During the war of tha Revolution,
1 wa? an officer in the regiment of N w-
Y.«rk forces, commanded by Col. Wyn-
knop. Being acquainted with Bettvs,
who was a citizpn of Ball*:on, and know
ing him to tie bold, athletic amt intelli
gent, in au uncommon degree, I nm de
sirous of obtaining hi? services for my
count iy, and succeeded in enlisting him
with the command of sergeant ; be was
afterwards reduced lo 'he rank?, on ac
count of some insolence to an officer,
who he said had abused him without a
- >use. K owing his irritable and de
termined spirit, and unwilling to lose
im, 1 procured him a sergeantcy in Lie
(1 et commanded by G“n. Arnold, (af*
i.rwards the traitor) on Lake Cham-
dain in ’76. Belly? was in that despe
rate fight which took place in the latter
part of that campaign, between th* Bri-
ish and American fleets, on lhal L ke,
and bqing a skillful seaman, was of signal
lervice during the battle. H” fought
untd every commission'd officer on
‘■oard his vessel wa* killed or wounded,
nd then assumed command himself, and
nntinued Ihe fight with such reckless
courage, that Gen. Waterbury, who was
soenud in command under Arnold, per
ceiving the vessel was likely to sink, was
bliged to order Bettys and the re.nnaut
of the crew on board his own vessel, and
having noticed his extraordinary brave
ry and conduct, he stationed htui on the
quarter deck by his side, and gave or
der* through him, until Ihe vessel be
coming altogether crippled—the crew
mostly killed—Gen. Waterbury wound
ed, and oniy two officers left, 'he colors
were struck to the eneuiy. G- n. Wa
terbury afterwards told my father ti.at
he never saw a man behave with such
deliberate doperation, as did Bettys ;
and 'hat the shrewdness of his manage
ment showed his conduct was not infe
rior to his courage.
After this action, Beltys went to Ca
nada—turneJ traitor to his country—re»
eived an ensign's commission iu the
British army—became a spy, and prov
ed himself a most dangerous and subtle
enemy. He was at length arrested—
tried, nnd condemned to he hung at We?<
Point. But the entreaties of his aged

that of woman should be neglected. It

it is 8a deserviog of care, and will repay
care as well ; if i' he weaker and nar

proposes of society and of life would be
promoted by the establishment of do-

pardon him on promise of amendnv nt-
But it was in vain. The generosity of
the act only added rancor to his hatred,
and the whig? of this section nfihe cou. r

caused to be showu him. He r«ct uit«4
