Proclamation by the Governor of No. Carolina.
W HEREAS, by an act passed at the last session of
the General Assembly of this State, entitled “an
act prescribing the mode of surveying and selling the Laudi,
of this State, lately acquired by treaty with the Cherokee
Indians,” it is made the duty of the Governor, upon the re
turn of the Maps and Field Books of said survey, to the
several places as prescribed by said act, to issue his Pro
clamation of the time and place of sale; and whereas tha
said Maps and Field Books have been returned accordingly,
Now, I, Edward B. Dudley, Governor of North Car
olina, in obedience to said act of Assembly, do hereby is
sue this my Proclamation, giving notice, that the sale of
said land will commence at the Town of Franklin, in the
ounty of Macon, on the first Monday in September next,

expense in enlarging and refitting the whole establishment
inside and out, all of which will be nent.clcan and comforta

in all respects well suited to the purposes for which they are
designed. In short the proprietor thinks he will hazard
nothing in pledging that this establishment in the general,
shall be inferior to none in the Southern States, whatever
comforts tlmt can be in any way commanded from the re
sources of the surrounding country, will he afforded to his
guests in a manner he trusts, that will be entirely to their
satisfaction. The establishment will he enlarged the pre
sent season, to upwards of thirty rooms—and charges
the same as at the other public houses in the Village.
The pioprietor flatters himself, that he is too well known
longer, by and under the superintendance and direction of
S. F. Patterson and Charles L. Hinton, Esqrs., Commis
sioners appointed for that purpose, agreeable to the pro
visions of the said act.

I NH H l’niprietor of this establishment gives notice, that

,.ii" every day in the week hut one.) The country around
, lidikmi and proverbially healthy, and besides the mineral
irciiii-rtios of the waters, there are many inducements to
m the attention of invalids and others towards this place.

■ Springs that the great attraction towards this spot con
ic "flie proprietor lias no exaggerated list of cures to
■«i'nt to tho public, for lie has just taken possession, nor
•iilil lie deem it a compliment either to the good taste or
:»i-iiy of tho public, to present such if he had them,
t he has the assurance of some of the most scientific
viicitns and chemists, to tho Taro and valuable proper-
i nf lluMO Springs. In 1824 Professor Olmsted (now
Yule College) made a strict analysis of this water, and
iruiiimnces ils foreign ingredients to Im Sulphuretted Ily-

that this npueal will not be made in vain.

or parrels, to suit purchasers, nnd upon some of which are
extensive improvements, known as the Island nnd Muddy
Creek Plantations, <fcc. I intend cutting a road in a few
months, so ns to carry the present crop of cotton from Alb.t-

distance not exceeding 50 miles; and by reference to the

Brunswick, Savannah, or Charleston, nnd perhaps from
Columbus, round by Mount Vernon, nnd up Flint river, !>v
wliich the delay, risk, insurance, «&o. of Florida Point

iNFEEIOR COURT, for Ordinary purposes, March
term, 1838.
The petition of James McNure respectfully showeth,
that Isaac Fincher, late of said county, but. now deceased,
in his life time bargained and sold to y-mr petitioner, a
certain tract of land, situate, lying and Iieing in the second
district of originally Houston now Crawford comity, and
known as Lot No. ninety-three, (No. !73) being a portion
of said Lot, and on tlie west side, and on the waters of
lelieconna creek, containing fifty acres, more or less, and
that a memorandum of said bargain was taken in writing,
which memorandum is now in possession of the aslministra-
trix, so that your petitioner cannot make the usual profert
thereof, and your petitioner further showeth that Lydia
Fincher, of said county, lias administered on the estate of
the said Isaac Fincher, and also that the purchase money
of said Laud hath been or is ready to be paid for said Laud,
wherefore your petitioner prays a rule nisi, may lx- granted
calling on the said Lydia Fincher, administratrix as afore
said, to produce the memorandum of said sale nnd make
titles to said Lot of Land, or show cause to the contrary
within the time prescribed by the statute.

ceased, in his life time bargained and sold a Lot of Land
in said petition mentioned and described, to the. said James
McNucc. and that the said Isaac Fincher departed tins life
without having executed titles, and that Lydia Fincher, of
CiawforU county, hath administered on his estate, in whose

administratrix as aforesaid, appear with the said memo-
nixl make titles to the said Lot of Land, within
afflicted husband could not finish the sentence.
Dr. Butts withdrew his hand from the wrist
of the dying lady ; he pointed to the horologe,
scarce a q»*\.rter of its sand remained in the up
per moiety. Again he shook his head ; the
eye of the patient waxed dimmer, the rattling
in tlie throat increased.
“ What’s become of Father Francis?”—
whimpered Beatrice.
“ The last consolations of the church” sug
gested Everard.
A darker shade came over the brow of Sir
Guy.
“ Where is the confessor ?” continued his
grieving brother-in-law.
“ In the pantry,” cried Marion Racket
pertly, as she tripped down stairs in search of
that venerable ecclesiastic; in the pantry I war
rant me.” The lower-Woman was not wont to
he in the wrong: in the pantry was the holy
man discovered—at his devotions.
“ Pax vobiscumV’ said Father Francis, as
he entered the chamber of death.
“ Vita brevis/” returned Doctor Butts ; he
was not a man to he browbeat out of his lalin,
and by a paltry friar of Minim, too. Had it
been a Bishop indeed,—or even a mitred Ab
bot :—But a miserable Franciscan !
“ Pencilicite /” said the friar.
“ Ars longa /” retorted the leech.
Dr. Butts adjusted the tassels of his falling
band, drew his short sad-colored cloak closer
around him, and grasping his cross handled
walking-staff, stalked majestically out of the
apartment.—Father Francis had the field to
hitnself.
The worthy chaplain hastened to adminis
ter the last rites of the church. To all appear
ance he had little time to loose; as he conclud
ed the dismal toll of the Passing Bell sound
ed, from the belfry tower; little Hubert tlie
bandylegged Sacristan, was pulling with all
his might. It was a capital contrivance that
same Passing Bell—which of the Urbans or In
nocents invented it, is a query; hut whoever
' it was lie deserved well of his country and of
Christendom.
Ah ! our ancestors were not such fools, af
ter all, as we their degenerate children, con
ceit them to have been. Tlie Passing Bell!
a most solemn warning to imps of every de
scription, is not to he regarded with impunity,
the most imprudent Succubus of them all dare
as well dip his claws in holy water as como
within the verge of its sound. Old Nick him
self, if he sets any value at all upon his tail,
had best convey himself clean out of hearing,
and leave the way open to Paradise. Little
Hubert continued pulling with all his might,
and Saint Peter began to look out for a custom
er.
The knell seemed to have some effect even
upon the lady Rohesia: she raised her head
slightly; inarticulate sounds issued from her
lips—inarticulate, that is, to ihe profane ears
of the laity. Those of Father Francis indeed
were shaqter; nothing as he averred, could be
more distinct than the words, “ a thousand
marks to the priory of St. Mary Rouncival.”
Now the Lady Rohesia Ingolsby had brought
her husband broad lards and large possessions;
much of her ample dowry, too, was at her own
disposal, and nuncupative wills had not been
abolished by Act of Parliament.
“Pious soul!” ejaculated Father Francis.
“ A thousand marks, she said—”
“ If she did, I’ll be shot!” said Sir Guy dc
Montgomerie.
“ A thousand marks !” continued the confes
sor, fixing his cold grey eye upon the night, as
he went on, heedless of the interruption : “ a
thousand marks ! and as many Aves and Tat-
ers shall he duly said—as soon as the money is
paid.”
Sir Guy shrank from the monk’s gaze; he
turned to the window, and muttered to himself
something that sounded like “Don’tyou wish
you mav set it ?”
* * # # *
The hell continued to toll. Father Francis
had quitted the room, taking with him the re
mains of the holy oil, he had been using for
Extreme Unction. Everard Ingolsby waited
on him down stairs.
“ A thousand thanks !” said the latter.
“A thousand marks!” said the friar.
“A thousand devils !” growled Sir Guy
do Montgomerie, from the top of the landing
corner, which remained between her finorer
and thumb. She looked at Sir Guy, drew the
thumb and forefinger of her other hand slow
ly along its border, till it reached the opposite
extremity-—She sobbed aloud “ So kind a
lady ! ^ said Beatrice Grey—“ So excellent a
wife ! responded Sir Guy.—“ So good!” said
the damsel. “So dear!” said the knight.—
<( pious!’ said she.—“ So humble!’ said he
So good to the poor!”—“ So capital amana-
ager “ So punctual at matins !”—“ Din
ner aished to a moment!”—“ So devout!”
said Beatrice. “ So fond of me !” said Sir Guy.
“ And of Father Francis !”—“ What do
you mean by that?” said Sir Guy de Mont
gomerie.
{The knight and the maiden had rung their an-
tiponic changes on the fine qualities of the de
parting lady like the Strophe and Antistrophe
of a Greek play.—The cardinal virtues once
disposed of, her minor excellencies came un
der review.—She would drown a witch, drink
lambswool at Christmas, beg Domine Dump’s
boys a holiday; and dine upon sprats on Good
Friday ! A low moan from the subject of
these eulogies would intimate that the enume
ration of her good deeds was not altogether
lost on her,—that the parting spirit felt and
rejoiced in the testimony.
“ She was too good for earth,” continued
Sir Guy.
“ Ye—ye—yes !” sobbed Beatrice.
“ I did not deserve her !” said the knight.
“ No—o—o—o !” cried the damsel.
“ Not but that I made her an excellent hus
band, and a kind ; but she is going ; and—
and—where, or when, or how—shall I get
such another ?”
“ Not in broad England, not in the whole
wide world” responded Beatrice Grey: that
is, not just such another!”—Her voice still,
fluttered, but her accents on the whole were
more articulate: she dropped the corner of her
apron, and had recourse to her handkerchief;
in fact her eyes were getting red—and so was
the tip of her nose.
Sir Guy was silent; he gazed for a few mo
ments steadfastly on the face of his lady.
The single word ‘ Another!’ fell from his lips
like a distant echo;—it is not often that the
viewless nymph repeats more than is absolutely
necessary.
“Bim! home!” went the hell—Bandy-leg
ged Hubert had been toiling for half an hour
—he began to grow tired, and Sr. Peter fidgity.
“Beatrice Grey!” said Sir Guy do Mont
gomerie, “what’s to he done? what’s to become
of Montgomerie Hall ?—and the buttery—and
the servants ? and what’s to become of me,
Beatrice Grey ?”—There was a pathos in his
tone ; and solemn pause succeeded. “ I’ll
turn monk myself!” said Sir Guy.
“Monk !” said Beatrice.
“ I’ll be a Carthusian ?’ repeated the knight,
hut in a tone less assured : he relapsed into a
reverie. Shave his head!—he did not so much
mind that—he was getting rather bald already;
but, beans for dinner—and those wtliout but
ter—and then a horse hair shirt!
Tlie Knight seemed undecided : hi* eye
roamed gloomily round the apartment, jmised
upon different objects, but as if they saw them
not: its sense was shut, and there were no
speculation in its glance: it rested at last,
upon the fair face of the sympathizing damsel
at his side, beautiful in her grief.
Her tears had ceased, hut her eyes had cast
down, and mournfully fixed upon her delicate
little foot, which was heating tire devil’s tattoo.
There is no talking to a female when she
does not look at you. Sir Guy turned round—
he seated himself on the edge of the bed, and,
placing his hand beneath the chin of the lady,
turned up her face in an angle of fifteen de
grees.
“ I don’t think I shall take the vows, Bea
trice; but what's to become of me? Poor,
miserable, old—that is poor, middle aged man
that I am!—no one to comfort, no one to care
forme!” Beatrice’s tears flowed afresh, but
she opened not Iter lips. “ ’Pon my life, con
tinued he, I don’t believe there is a creature
now would care a button if 1 were hanged to
morrow.”
repeat it, but the dose was interrupted in tran
situ. Doubtless the adage
“ There is many a slip.
’Twixt the cup and the lip,”
hath reference to medicine. Sir Guy’s lip
was against all but in conjunction with that of
his bride elect.
It has been hinted already that there was a
little round polished patch on the summit of
the knight’s pericranium, from which his locks
had gradually receded; a sort of oasis—or
rather a Alant Blanc in miniature, rising above
the highest point of vegetation. On this lit
tle spot, undefended alike by Art and Nature,
that at this interesting moment a blow de
scended, such as we must borrow a term from
the Sister Island adequately to describe—it
was a “Whack!”
Sir Guy started upon his feet; Beatrice
Gray started upon hers; but a single glance to
the rear reversed her position—she fell upon
her knees and screamed.
The Knight too, wheeled about., and beheld
a sight which might have turned a holder man
to stone. It was she!—the all hut defunct
Rohesia—there she sat, holt upright! Her
eyes no longer glazed with the film of im
pending dissolution, but scintillating like flint
and steel ; while in her hand she grasped the
bed-staff—a weapon of mickle might; as her
fiusband’s bloody coxcomb could now well
testify. Words tvero yet wanting, for the
quinsey, which her rage had broken, still im
peded her utterance ; but the strength ami ra
pidity of her guttural intonations augured well
for future eloquence.
Sir Guy de Montgomerie stood for a while
like a man distraught; this resurrection—for
such it seemed—had quite overpowerd him.
“A husband oft-times makes the best physi
cian,” says the proverb; he was a living per
sonification of its truth. Still it was whisper
ed he had been content with Dr. Butts, but
his lady was restored to bless him for many
years. Heavens, what a life holed!
The Lady T Rohesia mended apace; her
quinsey was cured; the hell was stopped, and
little Hubert, the Sacristan, kicked out ol the
chapelry; St. Peter opened his wicket, and
looked out. There was no body there; so he
flung to the gate in a passion, and went back
to his lodge, grumbling at being hoaxed l>y a
runaway ring.
Years rolled on. Tho improvement of La
dy Rohesia’s temper did not keep pace with
that of her health ; nnd, one fine morning,
SirGuy de Montgomerie was seen to enter the
porte cochere of Durham House, at that time
tire town residence of Sir Walter Raleigh.
Nothing more was ever heard of him; hut a
boat full of adventurers was known to have
dropped down with the tide that evening to
Deptford Hope, where lay the good ship, the
Darling, commanded by Captain Key mis, who
sailed next morning on tlie Virginia voyage.
A brass plate, some eighteen inches long
may yet be in Denton chancel, let into a
broad slab of Bethersden marble ; it repre
sents a lady kneeling, in her wimple and hood;
her hands are clasped In prayer, and heneatU
is an inscription in the characters of the age.
“ I’rae for ho suwle ef ye Lndy Itoase,
And foralle Christen sowles.”
The date is illegible ; but it appears that she
lived at least till Elizabeth’s time, and that the
dissolution of monasteries, had lost Mary
Rouncival her thousand marks. As for Bea
trice Grey, it is well known that she was living
in 15S8, a Maid of Honor to “good Queen
Bess.”

But his accents fell unheeded : his brother-
in-law and the friar were gone : he was left
alone with his departing lady and Beatrice
Grey.
Sir Guy dc Motitgomerie stood pensively at
the foot of the bed: his arms were crossed up
on his bosom, his chin was sunk upon his breast,
his eyes were filled with tears: the dim rays
of the fading watch-light gave a darker shade
to the furrows on his brow, and a brighter tint
to the little ball patch on the top of his head,
for Sir Guy was a middle aged gentleman, tall
and portly withal, with a slight bend in his
shoulders, hut that not much: his complexion
was somewhat florid, especially about his nose,
but his lady was in extremis, and at this partic
ular moment, he was paler than usual.
“ Bim borne!” went the bell—tlie night
groaned audibly: Beatrice Grey wiped her eye
with her little square apron of lacc de Malines;
there was a moment’s pause—a moment of in-
affliction j she let it fall—all hut one
fcVc & _ _
trice; “ you know there’s—there’s Master
Everard, and—Father Francis—”
“ Pish !” cried SirGuy, testily.
“And—and there’s your favorite old bitch!”
“I am not thinking of old bitches!” said Sir
Guy de Montgomerie.
Another pause ensued, tho Ivnight had re
leased her chin, and taken her hand ; it was a
pretty little hand, with long taper fingers, and
filbert formed nails, and the softness of the
palm said little for its owner’s industry.
“Sit down, my dear Beatrice,” said the
Knight, thoughtfully, “you must be fatigued
with your long watching, take a seat my child/’
Sir Guy did not relinquish her hand; hut he
slided along the counterpane, und made room
for his companion between himself und the
bedpost.
Now this is a very awkward position for two
people to he placed in, especially when the
right hand of the one holds the right hand of
the other; in such on attitude, what can the
gentleman do with his left ? Sir Guy closed
his till it became an absolute fist, and his
knuckles rested on tho bed a little in the rear
of his companion.
“Another!” repeated Sir Guy, mosing, “ if
indeed I could find such another!” He was
talking to his thought, but Beatrice Grey an
swered him.
“There’s Madam FJtzfbozle!”
“A frump !” said SirGuy.
“Or the Lady Bumbarton.”
“ With her hump !” muttered he.
“ There is the Dowager—”
11 Stop—stop!” said the Knight, “stop one
moment. He paused; he was all on the trem
ble; something seemed rising in his throat, hut
he gave a great gulp and swallowed it. “ Bea
trice,” said he, “what think you of—” his
voice sank into a most seductive softness—
“ what think you of—Beatrice Grey ?”
The murder was out:—The Knight felt in
finitely ielieted, the knuckle.-> of his left, hand j children of sorrow have tottered into this hum-
unclosed spontaneously, and the arm he had j fti e burial ground, and thrown down the weary
felt such a difficulty in disposing of, found it-, burden of grief and wretchedness under w hith
self, nobody knows how, all at once encircling
tones the now unforbidden tenderness, an»l
how fhrillingly the allowed kiss and tlie beau
tiful endearments of wedded life will make
even the parting joyous, anti how gladly they
will come beck from the crowd and empty
mirth of tho gay, to each other's quiet compa
ny. I picture to myself that young creature,
who blushing even now, at his hesitating
caress, listening eagerly for his footsteps as
the night steals on, and wishing that he would
come: nnd when he enters at Inst, and with
an affection as undying as his pnlse, folds her
to his bosom, I can feel the very tide that goes
flowing through his heart, nnd gazo with him
on her graceful form ns she tnoves about him
for the kind office? of affection, soothing all
his unquiet cares, and making him forget even
himself in her young and unshadowed beauty.
I go forward for years, and see her luxuriant
hair put 6oberly away from her brow, and her
girlish graces ripened into dignity, nnd her
bright loveliness chastened with the gcntle-
meeknessof maternal affection. Her husband
looks on her with a proud eye, and shows the-
same fervent love and delicate attention which-
first Won her fair hand. Their children are
growing up about them, and they go on, full of
honor nnd untroubled years, and nre remem
bered when they die.” • • •
The Graves of the Poor.—From an elo
quent sketch- in the ‘ Motley Boole.'—I stand up
on the graves of the Poor. Over this simple
field, unvaried by mark or monument; I cast
my eye and feel the power and presence of
death more than in the tombs of kings, or
standing beside those huge mausoleums, the
pyramids. Here the grim phantom stalks
naked; not skulking, as in the cemeteries of
the rich and prosperous, behind funeral piles,
or stealing away from the gaze amid masses of
carved marble. Every step of the tyrant falls
clear and distinct upon the grave of some lowly
son of earth and poverty. How many of the
the jimp waist of the pretty Beatrice.
The young lady’s reply was expressed in
three syllables. They were—“OhrSir Guy!”
The words might he somewhat indefinite, hut
there was no mistaking the look. Their eyes
met, Sir Guy’s left arm contracted itself spas-
they have fainted in the sun.
All accordant must he ihe trumpet blast that
can melt into one harmonious web of fife
those motley elements. What a pageant of
wretchedness and rags and pmnnw would (he
inhabitants of this single acre form, could they
he summoned from their rest. An archaugePs
motlically; when the eyes meet—at least, as , peal alone could startle hack into life (from
their’s met—the lips are very apt to follow the which their sufferings was so deep and pierc-
example. The Knight had taken one long, j ing) the various multitude. An omnipotent
loving kiss—nectar and ambrosia ! He thought 1 edict, in truth, it would require to force them
on Dr. Butts and his Repetatvr l oust it?—afre-|once more upon a scene where anguishand
scription Father Francis had taken infinite tears were their only legacy, and the grave
pains to translate for him. He was about to| the ty/iet, rent-free grave, their reversion !
