Critical Slate of the Western Frontier. —
‘flie Arkansas Intelligencer of th e 30th ult.
sa ys : —“From all the information we have
received concerning the late outrages in the
Cherokee Nation, we are convinced that a
regular rebellion was organized against the
constituted authorities of the Nation. Rev
elations of all the plans of the conspirators
(of whom the murderers of Mr. Vote and
family were by instruments) have been made,
ami subsequent events have confirm- and the
until of those statements, that Mr. Ross, the
chief of the Nation, Mr. Bushyhead, the
Chief Justice, W. S. Goodey, John Benge,
and Eli jah Hicks, five of the most popular
and influential men in the country, were to
have been assassinated on the 2>3ih inst. The
reason assigned for the killing of five per
sons named, was, that they were the heads
of the party, and by lopping them off, the
party would he paralyzed and the balance
could be easily managed. The killing of
Mr. Vore was to have taken place the
same night as the others, but for some rea
son unknown, a part of the banditi anticipa
ted their associates, and killed him on the
22d. He was not murdered for any party
purpose, but merely for his money, it be
in* supposed that he had a very large
nm omit —it is certain that he had at least
,S-}OO on hand, ‘[’here are persons supposed
tube implicated in the whole of these ne
farious and bloody trausaciions, whose
names have not been mentioned in public.
They have much to answer for, and we
Impe that, none, whether principals or ac
cessaries, will escape the punishment they

merit.
We invl'e attention to the aiticle in an
other column, entitled “The Mechanics of
Georgia,” and so fur n- s it recommends the
policy of encouragt.tg this worthy and most
estimable class of our c ozens, we indorse
everv word of it. In fact tNs policy alone
can elevate the South above i l ’ <: most ab
ject dependence upon the industry other
| mitions of the world ; and it should be
adopted even if the products of the labor oi
distant nrtizHtis were furnished us lbr noth
ing. No city or country can prosper until
it furnishes employment to its citizens, and
the profits of that employment are equal at
least to the cons imption of the place. All
consumption and no production will min
any country. The profits of exchange are
limited to 100 small a class, and are withal,
too uncertain to be the basis of prosperity,
cither for nations or corporations. There
is no safe foundation on which to build an
■enduring fabric of prospenly, but univer
sal and profitable labor, and t- at so directed
■as to cst i blisli independence of other com
munities, in relation to till things indispen
sable to the existance and well being of so
rb ‘ty.
The happy union ofagricuhutal and man
id ictuivs,insures wealth, and independence;
either alone, involves a portion of the pop
ulation in poverty, and lire whole in base
dependence upon the country that supplies
their wants. Let our mechanics therefore,
be driven front ns by our suicidal policy,
and we shall he as dependent upon the
Northern States and Europe, as an infant
is upon its mother.
These considerations ought to weigh
with tenfold more force upon souii-em
towns than upon the countiy. Their very
existence depends upon mnnufactuiing
what tlvey consume, or enough to pmchnse
what they consume. Every city that thrives
does this !—every city that does not do it,
languishes and declines !
All parties may unite here—they who
demand protection for home industry, “ill
act inconsistently if they withhold it trom
those who really are at home—-aiul those
who condemn taxation for this object, must
encourage iudustiv at home, or, nolens ro
lens, they will have to do it at terrible cost,

Profane Hu-caring. —Mr. Weed, in one of
his letters from Europe, says
“ Another thing struck me with surprise
here. Profane Swearing has gone quite
out of fashion. I cannot speak of the nobil
itv because L have not reached their circle;
hut with all other classes, cursing ami swear
ing is “honored in the breach” rather than
“in the observance.” Oaths and impreca
tions so common in America, are not heard
here, even among the watermen, cabmen,
coal-heavers, or scavengers. The language
ot blasphemy, in its various “sliditii; scales”
of enormity, came as a pait of our education,
from the mother countiy. Is it not reason
able to hope, therefore, that among other
English fashions, adopted by the Americans,
our people will soon foibear to mingle the
name of their Creator and Redeemer pro
fanely either in their idle conversation or
their excited controversies 1 ’
Education. —Every boy should have his
bead, his heart, and his hand educated; let
this truth never be forgotten.
|3y the proper education of the head, he
will be taught what is good, and what is
evil ; what is wise, and what is foolish;
what, is right, and what is wrong. By the
proper education of his heait, he will lie
taught to love what is good, wise, and right;
and to hate what is evil, foolish, and wrong;
and by the proper education of his hand, he
will he to supply his wants ; to add
to l.is comforts, ard to assist those that are
around him.
The highest objects of a good education
are to reverence ami obey God, and to love
and serve mankind ; everything that helps
us in attaining these objects is of great value,
and everything that hinders us is, compara
tively, worthless. When wisdom reigns in
the head and love in the heart, the hand is
ever ready to do good ; order and pence
smile around, and sin and sorrow are almost
unknown.

An Ugly Customer — " Don't put on no
Extras." —A wager was made a few days
since on board a steamer, between a cou
ple of jokers, one of “ horn, pointing to an
extremely ugly man, bet a bottle of wine
that an uglier customer could not be pro
duced. ‘I I e other who had seen one of the
firemen as he passed on board—a man
whose face was screwed out of all shape—at
once took up the bet and started down stairs
fin his man. The joker had an impedi
ment in his speech, but he neveitheless soon
made known his business to the fireman,
and obtained his consent to show himself to
decide the wager. When inside the social
hall, the ugly man whose nose was on one
side of his face and his eyes on the other,
began to screw and work them about to
give his face a greater degree of ugliness.
“S-s-Mop,” said his hacker, “d-o-n’t put
on n-o no extras, st-st and jest as the Lord
made you —you rant he hint!” The other
acknowledged that lie had lost, and paid the
wager.—P icuyn no.
Anew wag to male Candles. —We have
been shown a candle about the size of a

As this is the age for economy in every

readers how to make them. Take one

Colors. — In colors the ancients certainly far
surpassed the modern. Sii Humphrey Da
vy made an effort to analyze ll.e celebrated
T\iian purple of the East, but these eflbrls
wore without success, he declared that he
could not discover of vvhat it was composed.
The Naples yellow, too, though less known,
was much used, and the art of making it is
entirely lost. The Tv ran purple is the col
or of many houses of P jmpeii, and they
look as flesh as if just painted. ihe colors
of Titian areas vivid and beautiful as “hen
first laid on by the great artist, while those
of Joshua Reynolds already looked chalky
and dead. And sir Joshua himself confess
ed after making it the study of his life, that
he had never been able to diseovot bow
Raphael and the great aitist had been able
to preserve the brightness and beauty of
their paintings. But if we marvel at these
artists three cctiturys beck, what shall we
say of those paintings found in the tombs of
Egypt, more than a thousand years old, and
vet kept fresh and blight, though buried for
that li-me beneath the ground, in the damp
dark caves of the East I ‘1 he portrait of
the very wife of SoloTnon is found there,
just as she was painted on the eve of her
departurefiom her father’s home to share
tire linn nos Judea, and not only is the col
ored’her garments preserved, but the blooms
is still on her cheek and lips and the lustre
is iu her eye even as it was then. There
are paintings too as far back as the time of
Moses—a portrait supposed to be of Nico,
the King, who drove the Israelites into the
Red Sea —ar.d even the colors of these are
perfectly preserved.— Wendell Phillip's
Address.
The following was taken from a newspa
per several years ago :
“ The following discovety was, a few
years ago, communicated by tbe Royal So
ciety of Sweeden to that of London. Aftci
roofing a house with wood, boil some tar,
and mix it with finely pulverized charcoal
till it is of the thickness of mortar, spread
this with a trowel about a fimith of an inch
thick over the roof, it “ill soon grow hard,
and defy all the vicissitudes of weather.—
Roots thus covered have stood in Sweeden
over a century and still want no repair.”
Arnold Woman's Heart. — William How
itt.iu his “visits to reniatkublc places,” says:
Every old woman’s heart is a chest oft roub
les, which, though they are unseen by the
rest of the world, are as living a-j on the
day they were put there ; and if you lift up
the lid in the slightest degree, out they fly,
and show you how sod a tiling, and how sa
cred a thing is the heart of that poor and
despised creature —an old woman.”
So it is. —When a person doesn’t staid
in need of friends they areas plenty as mos
quitoes iu the latter end of August j bat
when he really wants them they are as
scarce as grasshoppers iu winter. W ouinl
a porpoise ami his comrades are sine to at

they need expect no mercy from their fel
low men ; hut to God alone must they look
for succor. “ Hit him again—he has no bu

NOVEMBER.
Next vas November; he full grown and fat
As fed with laid, and that r-ght well might scenic ;
For lie had been a fatting hogs of late,
That yet tus browes with sweat did reek and steam;
AniTvel the season was full sharp and hro ni;
In planting eeke he took no small delight,
When on he rode, nol eusie was to deeme.
For it a dreadful centaurc was in sight,
The seed of Saturn and fair Nais, Chiron hijiht.
Such is the verse in which old Spenser
marshals in the eleventh month of the year.
This month was called by the Saxons, tvinl
manat, indicating the rude visits of Boreas,
which are common in this season; and it is
said of the ancient mariners that they ceas
ed their sea-faring from this time until after
the storms of March, which they also prefer
red to encounter in their cottage homes.—
They also called it blol-monat, (blood month)
because—ns some writers say—much blood
was shed in this month to obtain sacrifices
for theit deities; but it is more probable
that this sanguinary name was given as com
memorative of what we Georgians call “hog
killing time,” which latter opinion gathers
the strength of corroborative testimony from
the allusion of the poet, aboVe quoted. The
month is represented in the person of a bur
ly old fellow, seated upon the back of e
•'dreadful centaur,” wbo, or which, (for we
don't iV. M ow whether that creature of the an
cients claiiT l t(> a mnn nr a beast,) holds
his rider firm in I s * st ’ at wi,h I,ia lefl ,iai"l

tleman lias been “ a fatting nCg* looks
portly and sleek “as fed with lain” —^ 10
inference is clear he had killed hogs, Qi.'l
hence his name. We love to settle these
antiquated questions with clearness and pre
cision.
But of the month. We have little to say
of November that we have not already writ
ten of October. The days are a little short
er, the weather is a little colder, a little more
Cotton is out, and the leaves fall faster than
they did last month. The woods that com
pass us about on every side, are beautiful
beyond description, making our lovely vil
lage to resemble a gem set in an iris wreath.
But we are in tbe beginning of November :
in a few weeks the trees will he stripped of
their variegated foliage, and the wintry
winds will sigh through I heir leafless branch
es the solemn requiem of the parting year !
MORGAN ACRIt'UI.Tt.’RAI, SOCIUTV.
By an advertisement in our papet to day.
it will he seen that a meeting of this Socie
tv will be held at the Court-House in Mad
ison. on next Tuesday, the 7th instant
We are happy to perceive the interest which
is beginning to be felt on this subject thro’-
out the State, and we sincerely hope that
tho citizens of Morgan will not be backward i
in seconding the efforts that are now making I
to promote the general diffusion of scientific
Agricultuial knowledge. Perhaps the citi- j
zens of no county in tin? State have a greater
stake in this matter than those of Morgan, j
for upon the adoption of some improved
plan of Agriculture depends the future pros- ■
perity and permanency of our population.
It is time that the old, short-sighted, suici
dal policy should he abandoned—every con
sideration of patriotism and social advance
mnit demand the change, Georgia has al
ready sent her thousands of pioneers to the \
new countries, and it now becomes her cit
izens to husband her resources, and, by
timely care and culture of her “ red hills,”
to make some return to a generous soil for
the bounteous harvests they have reaped in
times past. In no way can the change de
sired he so effectually promoted, as by the
concentrated energies of Agricultural Asso
ciations. Through their agency rnu:h has
been effected in other States, and it is to
their instrumentality that vve look for the
elevation arid improvement of Agricultuie
in our ow n State. Let every Morgan plant
er, then, that would be true to the interests
of his culling, identify himself with the So
ciety recently established in our county.
(U® The Legislature will convene at Mil
ledgeville on Monday next, and the Inau
guration of Governor Crawford will take
place on Wednesday. We refer our rend
ers to an article from the “Recorder,” in
another column, for a prngamme of what it
is expected will be accomplished by the
Legislature at its approaching cession.—
May the best hopes of the country be real
ized !
COTTON MARKET.
The sales of the week, ending last even
ing, amounted to 900 hales, at the following
prices : 5 hales at 5 cents—B at 5J —4 at
5.J —7 ut 6— S at 6 1-IG—3 at 6J—4 at G£—
Bat G 5-16—.3 at G a —3 at G 7-IG—lls at
Gj—46 at G 9-15—249 at 6jj—29G at 6a—
-47 at 6 70-100—49 at 6 81-100—43 at GJ.
The weather has been fair for the ptist
few days, and Cotton has come in briskly.
The market has been firmer since the ac
counts by the Hibernia, and though, as mir
sales will show, no material advance has re
sulted, we believe people generally, buyers
and sellers, are less fearful of burning their
fingefs than when prices were more fluctu
ating. The generel tenor of the European
news is good. A planter of nur'Coiirity has
favored us with the perusal of a letter from
his Liverpool correspondent, dated October
3d, IS-13, covering a Circular of the 29th of
September, on which day the sales of Geor
gia uplands amounted to 3,430 bales, at 4 a
for ordinary to middling,
to good, and a 6 for good to fine. Tne
following is an extract from the letter :
“ Since the date of the annexed Circular
there has been an f etivc demand for Cotton,
both from spinners ond speculators, and the
daily operations have been on a large scale,
establishing fully j|d per pound advance gen
erally. This has been produced by the last
accounts from your side confirming previ
ous apprehensions of short crops, and by tbe
impression also that the accounts now due
from the East Indies and China will ho of a
character to advance still further the already
favorable condition of the manufacturing in
terests. There are many ctrcnmsfnnces in
favor of a large consumption in this country,
and by the extent of the supplies our mar
ket will be chiefly regulated, as it becomes
more nearly ascertained.
“ Our opinion is, that on a crop of two
millions of hales our present range of prices
would he well maintained, and would cal
culate on a rise of per pound on eVcry
100,000 bales. The crop is estimated to he
under that quantity. The sales of all kinds
in the last throe days sum up 40,000 hales,
of which one-half is on speculation at per
pound advance on last week, as before ob
served.”
ENGLAND AND MEXICO.
In our last we alluded to a difficulty which
had occurred between the representative of
the British Government and the Government
of Mexico. By later accounts the intelli
gence is confirmed, and the cause of the
misunderstanding explained. This is the
“head and front” of the matter: On i!ip
] J'h of September last a hall was given at
the Palace in the city of Mex
ico, in c.onirn.'morulum of a victory obtained
by Santa Ana oft’-- the Spaniards at Tam
pico, to which all the f K** i ? n Ministers wore
invited. Among the decorat ’° ns die
were the trophies taken by lit Mexicans
from llie Spanish and Texans, which \"’cie
suspended at one end of the room. Among
the flags taken from the Texans, was an
English Jack which attracted the attention
of Mr. Doyle, the British Charge <!’Affaires,
who immediately sought an explanation.—
On being informed by Mr. Boc.anegin, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, that the flag was
there as a Texan trophy, and that no disres
pect was meant to the British Government,
Mr. Doyal expressed himself satisfied, hut
desired that it should be taken down, while
the company was at supper. He was in
formed that it should be removed tbe next
day, but not being satisfied with this promise
he immediately retired, with nil the English
present. On the next day he addressed a
note to the Government, demanding that
the (lag should he taken down, and, as a sat
isfaction for tbe insult, should he hoisted in
the public square and saluted with twenty
one guns! The insolent demand was not
complied with, and Mr. Doyle notified the
Government of Mexico that liis diplomatic
intercourse with if was at end until ho re
ceived orders from Ids Government. This,
then, is to be tlie pretext for British inter
ference with Mexico and Texas. Mr.Doyle’s
despatches have gone to England : he has
also sent despatches to the Admiral of the
West India Station, and tlie citizens of Vera
Cruz are in daily expectation of a British
fleet. This movement, with the nceounts ;
given in the New Orleans papers of the in
trigues of the British Government to obtain
possession of Texas, w ill, we hope, arouse
•lie attention of our Government to mattf rs
in that quartet - .
CC?Oui Minister, Mr. Everett, appeared
in the roval procession on the occasion of
the prorogation of the late British Parlia
ment, with coachman and out-riders in gay
livery, himself in full court dress with gold
and embroidery. What a representative of
a republic ! How unlike our Franklin, our
Adams, or our Jay—who, in their day, would
have seen England’s Queen in a “ duck fit”
before they would have compromised their
firm republican principles, by condescend
ing to make one of such a monkey-show.—
But the Ape blood will manifest itself on
such occasions. Nature, in making men,
even in this country sometimes fulls far short
of producing a Republican.
Monday, the first day of January,
1844, has been designated by the Governor

THAT CORN STALK.
The last “ Columbus Enquirer” thus al
ludes to our paragraph of last week about
the prolific corn-stalk left with us by Judge
Sufliild :
“ The ‘Southern Miscellany’ states, that
the editor has been presented with a'Corn
stalk bearing; ‘twelce f’li'll-'g'roAvn ears. We
have at this present writing no pattieular
reason to doubt his statement ; hut there is
a tale told, somewhere, of a man’s sticking;
an iton crow bar in a piece of land that was
so rich, that in the morning ?l had sprouted
out all over thick with ten-pei.fiy nails : this
last affair we never ditl believe.”
Now, fiicnrf Sn’mivel, we wish, in the'first
place, to remind Von that we didn’t say
“ t welve fnllgroicn ears” in the second
place, that we have no objection to yonr
skepticism in reference to that crow-bar
sprouting ten-penny nails, for we don’t be
lieve that such a growth Wnld be obtained,
in one single night, even on the richest plan
tation in Morgan county —and in the third
and last place, wc wish you distinctly to un
derstand that you mustn’t begin “for to go
for to come” to doubt our veracity about
that corn-stalk. If you do
“ Corn stalks twist your h# : r,
Cart-wheels around you
Fiery dragons tarry you off.
And inortnr-pertlcs pound you !”
C7* Mr. Weed, in his let'ers from Eu

“Jottings,” Inklings” and “ Pencellings”
that were ever written by the hundreds t f
s-Cnseless Popinjays who have had their
heads turned by a little foreign travel—
speaking of the Prorogation Procession
says :
“ This Royal demonstration exhibited in !
hold and striking relief the contrast that
exists between the Rich and the Poor of
England. The trappings upon the Horses
that drew the Queen’s Coat-b, would have
furbished the whole Poor of London with n
sumptuous repast. The livery of the fat
Coachman who held their reins, would have
made the infant 1 yesterday saw die in its
starving Mother’s arms, comfortable for the
ordinary term of human existence. The
solid gold with which the Condi is so ex
pensively and ostentatiously adorned, would
raise a thousand families from indigence and
suffering to a competency and to happiness.
I wished, most devoutly, that the whole
American People could have seen this vain
glorious display of the expense of sustain
ing a Monarchy. Nothing could have been
better calculated to make us love and cher
ish our owu Government and Institutions.”
