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 Jin original Anecdote.—A gentlemen of the bar, in a neighboring county, in easy circumstan ces ami pretty good practice, had rendered him self somewhat remarkable, by his attempts in 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. T HE co-partnership heretofore existing in this place, between Peter and Peter F.

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.

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.

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.
