sider the rise of property for the year past, and
the extensive rivers, branching out into the heart

gee as far ag Hartford, and Oconee as far as Mil-
ledgeville, and the amount of 17,000 bags of cot
ton, which came down this river the present year,

most flourishing commercial cities in the United
States?”—Sav. Gazette.

Light in the. South !—During the short but in

facts haye been mentioned, which afford us, the
highest gratification. 1. The people of Buenos

attention towards the establishment of a general
system of education. 2. They have now in a
train of translation, to he disseminated general
ly, a selection of the revolutionary and such o-
tlier political writings of this country, as may
have a tendency to infuse the spirit of the North
Americans into the popular mind. This is a ra
dical beginning ; it speaks volumes, and is of it
self sufficient to place the successful result of
their struggle beyond all rational doubt.

put forth to tear the laurel that bloomed upon the
grave of the gallant dead, has been withered and
shrunk by the lightning that guarded it.—Times.
