DINNER TO OfiN’L WILUAV MTNT09II.
The distinguished Indian cliiet, general M’ln-
tosli, arrived here a few days since. The citi
zens of Augusta desirous of manifesting their
gratitude for the important services tendered by
this celebiated warrior on various occasions, but
particularly in the recent conflict witli the Semi-
noles, gave him a public dinner at the Globe
Tavern on Thursday last.
At 3 o’clock, P. M. adeputation from the coun
cil, the citizens and the military, waited on the
chief and conducted him to the Globe. As he
approached a band of music struck up n national
air—he was then received and conducted into
the drawing-room by brigadier general Glascock,
and presented to the citizens. Dinner was soon
announced, and the chieftain of the forest, was
ushered into the dining-room, with a flourish
of music. The evening closed pleasantly ; ami

bar, in a neighboring county, in easy circumstan

the way of matrimonial speculation. V maid
somewhat advanced in years, residing some miles
distant in the neighborhood, hearing of the
lawyer’s speculating propensity, that his charac
ter was unexceptionable, and his situation in life
tolerably good, resolved upon making him her
husband. She hit upon the following expedient :
She pretended suduenly>>to bfr jfaken very ill,
and sent for the man of the I aw to'draw her will,
lie attended for tliat purpose. By her will she
devised 10,0001. in bank stock, to be divided a
inong her three cousins, some thousands in bonds
ami notes to a niece, and a vast landed estate to
a favorite nephew. The will being finished, she
gave the lawyer a very liberal fee, and enjoined
DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP.

nanimously, because lie was satisfied that the
original error was iu general Gaines himself.”

On the death of Plants.—Mr. Brisscau Mirhle
the French naturalist, who has published a work
on the emigration of plants, has also written an
essay on the death of plants that contains a va
riety of new matter. The age of many trees
now in foliage according to this writer is almost
incredible. He says there are Chesnuts on Mount
Etna at least four thousand years old. That ma
ny of the Yews in Surry in England, were stand
ing in the time of Julius Cwsar, ami are at pre
sent two yards in diameter. The Cedars on
Mount Lebanon are three thousand years old.
The age of trees lie calculates from the number
of concentric layers of libers which constitute
the moss of the wdod.
The herbaceous plants which we call annual
died of old age considerably within the term of
a year. In the herbaceous plants we call bien
nials, only leaves make their appearance in the
first year. These generally die away when the
winter comes ; in the spring a new foliage, the
forerunner of the flower stem is evolved. The
blossom soon-appears ; this is followed by seed,
after which the biennial dies in the same way as
the annual.
In the herbaceous plants called perennials, the
parts exposed to the action of the light and air
perish every year after they have seeded ; but
the root survives in (he ground, new stems are
thrown up in the following spring, and blossom
.and seed is again produced.—Pet. Intelligencer attended to,

P GALLAHKtt returns liis sincere thanks
q to the citizens of Milledgeville, for the
patronage and support he has experienced, since
his arrival amongst them. The general satisfac
tion liis method of instruction has given, in other
parts of the United States, where Tie has taught
the Piano Forte, has been highly gratifying to his
feelings, and is happy to find it has been the case
(with few exceptions) since his arrival at the scat
of government of Georgia. His being at a very
early age placed under some of the greatest mas
ters—men whose compositions have drawn forth
the admiration of the enlightened and refined of
all Rations—his experience in Europe as a per
former, at a variety of the most brilliant and ele
gant public anil private concerts, and also in most
of the piincipal cities in the United States—
There are at present gentlemen in Milledgeville,
who must acknowledge the enthusiastic applause
he has been often honored with, at musical exhibi
tions where they have been present. Such ad
vantages, he trusts, give him no small claim
iliscet-ning public. The inhabitants of the sur
rounding country, who tnay feel disposed to give
their daughters that part of a polite education,
(which never fails to make innocence and beauty
shine with additional lustre) will find the expense
quadruple less than by sending them to remote
distances from their homes. Another great satis
faction is, that they can visit them, when they
may express a wish to do so. He will also give
lessons to a few young gentlemen, on the violon
cello, clarionet or flute.
