(CONSTITUTIONALIST.
AVGUSTA :
FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 25. 1831.
Wi tender to our readers the compliments ot the
■?rat frcst, of any consequence, which has visited
us this season—the mornings cf Wednesday and i
Thursday presented a cheering sight to the valelu- j
dinarian, as well as to him of iron nerves and co
bust health.—After a summer and autumn of such
'Unexampled distress to our city, nothing could c
have been more gratifying than a visit from the r
.. Ruler of Hi’ inverted yo.ir,
His scatter'd hair with sloel, like ashes 611’d— '
His breath concealed upon his lips, his cheeks 1
Fring’d with a beard made white with other mows 4
Thau time of age ; Hi* forehead wrapt iu cloudi—
A leaden branch hit sceptre ; and his throne
A sliding Car,—— ——
Urged on by florins along its slippery way.”
The last Milledgeville Journal contains a slight
sketch of the debate upon the resolution introduced
to modify the act of Lot cession in reference to the in- i
terminable subject of Attorney’s ti Jury tees -as also,
some remark* from a doien gentlemen or so, upon
m bill from the Senate to reduce the price of Grants
in certain Lotteries from six to five dollars. We
wonder, for our part, how there can always be so •
many friends to one sort of reduction, while more;
important subjects for that kind of razee ing are |
neglected.—Arguments in favour of each are pre
dicated of the will of the sovereign people.—But
more anon.
Mr. Custis in a late speech upon Poland, says !
•> friends and countrymen, remember that on |
». the days when ye struck for your freedom," two
distinguished ch.valric Poles repaired to your stand-1
»rd. Pulaski bivouacked with Lafayette on the night
preceding the hard tough' field ot Brandywine, tin
that memorable day, the small force ot American
wav airy was principally under the command of the i
gallant Pole, who, riding up toward the British 1
Horse, that greatly exceeded him in numbers,
waved hi* sabre, and cried to the foe, “come Mes
sieurs, come and take the sword of Pulaski." At
the siege of Savannah, the French and Americans,
after several desperate assaults, were repulsed from
the works. Then it was left for Pulaski to dare
what warrior never dored before,, tfi e assault of a
Certified town by cavalry. In the onset he received
a mortal wound, and fell, extorting admiration from
his enemies, and sealing with his blood his devotion
to our cause. Grateful for his services, Americans
have associated the monument of Pulaski with that
of Iheir awn illustrious Green; and he (Mr. C.)
called upon Americans to deck that monument with
« wreath of never fading laurels, by aiding the coun
trymen of die Hero to obtain the freedom, hi* life’s
vblood aided to obtain for us (Cheers.)’’
Prom liie Macon Messenger.
Extract of a Letter from Milledgeville,
N.OT*JiBSK 17th.
As you will perceive from the journals, we have
kaen catting out a great deal of work, some of which,
no doubt, will be spoiled in the making -Amidst
the mass of local ma ter which we have been notified
will require our legistadve function* some few bills
as general interest have been reported The deter
■Tnination la .amove the Indiana kay/knd thi •«»«■
sippi appears to be fixed and set tied —» strong dis
position is manifested to reduce the salary of the
Judges, but it is supposed by those who are an fast
in these matters that the attempt will be fruit less.
The opposition to the Penitentiary system tt very
decided, and has already elicited from some of our
political economist* many sage speculations which
may be regarded as improvement* in the science of
natural law. Although opposition to the system
chime* in with popular sentiment, I have not yet
heard one well founded argument against it from the
wery few who pretend to reason upon the subject.
The Savannah Republican of Saturday last,’stales
-hat—"A Petition and Memorial to the Legisla
ture, for the purpose of gaining funds to erect t
bridge over Savannah River,, just above the city is
mow circulating, and has already obtained a large
tnumlf ar of signatures. U sta.e* that tna only com
munication between Savannah and the part of Caro
lina adjacent, is more difficult, than with places hun
dred* of miles off Tlie ferry, which, is now the
is two miles long, & not sufficient for pur.
pone* of trade. By the construction of a Bridge,
«nd proper causeways and roads Leading to it, the
trade of a wealthy part of Carolina from which Sa
vannah is now totally excluded, would be opened.
A bridge would 'open a communication with a coun
try from 80 to 100 miles in length, and 30 in breadth.
To most of us. so difficult is the access from the
Georgia side, this is a perfect terra intngnila. Should
the Legislature grant the Petition, it will no doubt
prove of immense benefit to the city. The cost
estimated at 50,000 dollar*—and there is every rea
son to suppose, that the amount of tolls from the
wagons aid carts, which will convey the produce
to Savannah, would amount to 5000 dallars per an
num- There are no serious obstacles to the erec
tion of a Bridge, and we hope that the Legislature
will listen to the voice of the oldest city in the
Jtate.” --
St. Mary's Church, which was burnt down yes
terdry morning, was in 5 lien IF street, near Pitt, and
not in Put-street, as we staled It is doubtful whs-
Hher the fire was the result of accident or design.
The building was insured for 8000 dollars. Tlia
Commercial Advertiser give* the following particu
lar* of the damage done by the fire ;
No 23, [Sneriff street] a three story frame build

Paovismes, November 11, 1801,
j FACTORY BURNT,
rdtton Factory twinblishnaent, owned by the
Orleans Manufacturing Company, situated on Pal
iner’s River, in Rehobolli, was burnt to the ground
last night, between 8 and 9 o’clock. The factory
building was of wood, containing about 2,000 spin
dles. The fire took in tbebhule room, in tin* gar
ret, but in what manner is unknown. Very little
of the machinery or other property was saved The
value of the factory is staled to have been 25 000
dollars—ls,ooo were insured at the Hartford JE'na
Office. The owners are S. B. umford amd L.
\V. Clifford, of lbi« town, H. Peck, of Rehobolli,
and a gentleman of Newport, whose name we could
not learn. The fire was distinctly visible in this
town for more than an hour.
Eeveral fifty dollar bills of the North Bank of this
city were shown to us yesterday, from each of which
a narrow strip had been taken in such a uaj as that
from every 12 bills a new one might be formed. In
the places thus mutilated, they were blotted with
ink so as to conceal the deficiency of the letters,. I

Remarks on Apparatus.
This School Furniture is cheap and use
ful—children from four to ten years of age,
s readily understand its utility from the plain
'• explanations and easy experiments of the
! parent or teacher,
A The words Apparatus, Astronomical,
Geometrical, Chemical, &c. &c. may sound
i. * fifjrrf*. and perrt»p» startle the fears of some
i-jof inv little friends who go to school i
3 and of some young Ltdiesand gentlemen
*iu the city 'and country who fee! too
y old to learn } but (hey,all have the, friendly
r assurance of a School Mas^r— that these
h words mean nothing bad—nolhTfig IkLLf what
f they may understand with proper altcntitm,
“ nothing bat what diey may handle with pro
e fit and pleasure. If a schcol room may be
;cal!ed a menial Workshop these are the
1 tools ; the Teacher, the Master, the Learn-,
9 ers the Apprenticed. ■ . • !
L 'i The v/riter seriously hopes that the time
1 is not distant when every family iu the
* Slate will manifest more interest in having
. a well furnished study—with Apparatus
- and Books judiciously selected—than some
of them now do in the splendour of their
* Carriages and elegance of their Parlours.

Remarks on Piano Fortes and Organs,
• in few articles have the people of Geor
; gia been more imposed on than Piano Fortes.
s As furniture, many of them may’ appear
-I well ; but as musical instruments, they arc
almost worlhlc3s---aad would be'dear-as a
I gift, were (he owner obliged to keep them ft!
• repair. Dubois and Stodarl’s plain Pianos,
• and Bibcock’s of tne highest finish, are the
» best tne writer has seen in th;m market.
H - has not met with Dubois & I? oil art's or
namented Pianos, nor with Babcock’s plain
. ones. Many of Babcock’s instruments, in
Georgia mid other places, bear Chickenng’s
• name.——“ The Piano is best adapted to the
II lighter'ki ’d of music, bul in the hands of a
j master, v/;ll tel! home on the feelings with a
rational pleasure on grave subjecs The
. Grand Up"ght Piano Fortes, with three
• strings to each hammer, and a shit ing key
h bond, are cjui'e superior to the Horizontal
‘jones. Tney are more expensive.
J The Parlour Organ, compared wiih the
* best Ptano Fortes, is every way a superior
instrument. !n variety, sweetness and pow
• er of one. it greatly ezceia 'he Piano. If is

It stands in mne much better than the Piano,
