Heritor, w l>° came to this country in 1652, was a

must havothc glow of intellect and sentiment,gcaptam in the army ol Charles I., and was re-
II ns the glow of a social being. Hegwarded for his fidelity with a grant of land by
not onduro to make that mental effort, noces
sary to nrrivo at important conclusions upon
any of the great sub jects of life ; they are dis
posed to tukn upon trust, or dismiss entirely,
what they cannot (ullv comprehend without
close investigation. Hence wo miiv ncconnl
for the different schools into which the ancient
philosophy divided itself. A man of no ori
ginal turn of mind, and capable of thinking for
himself, arising now und then, would push hit
thoughts and investigations into a channel Hit'
ferent from his predecessors, and thus estab
lish a new school. Such were Socrates anil
Aristotle. A herd of unthinking Hein
out catching the spirit of their masters, rushed
after them nnd celebrated their praises, callin' 1
them philosophers and their thoughts philoso
phv ; so that in the course of time, men of
opposite characters have been philosophers
and everv thine, however insignificant, he
been dignified with the name ol philosophy
Upon this snmo principle of disinclination t'
close investigation, wo may account for tin
origin of sects nnd parties. Who is tho leadei
of a party, or the head of a sect? Is ho one
who marches in propria persona ns a captain
In front of his company 1 Ccrtainlv not Who
then is he ? Ho is the thinker, tho nno win
relieves his partisans from the trouble of think
fng, by thinking for them. Thus we sen tin
origin of quarrels, broils, bloodshed; two of
these thinkers, these lenders, pushing on in
their reasoning career, presently cross each
other’s pntli, and though they may hnvo the
politeness to pass without bluws, their follow
ors seldom will.
Now, how comes it that men arc thus pas
■ftive, thus prone to be led by the nose ? The
answer has nlrendy boon given ; they nre too
mdolent to think ; they would rather take a
matter upon trust than investigate it with
that patience which wo must carry with us
whenever we go in search of truth. Tho rem
edy for this untural indoloncc, nnd tho only
remedy, is education. Tho courso of educa
tion usual in tho col legos nnd high schools ol
this country, forces tho mind to examine, lo
understand, and to appropriate tho ideas pre
sented to it. Where this is not tho case, the
course must be in n great menstiro abandoned.
Now the mind, by being thus for u long time
directed in a certain rottrse, feels, from its
vory nnttiro, a propensity to push its inquirie
beyond the point nl which its extraneous help
■topped ; just ns a hall will keep rolling lorn
after tho propelling cause has ceased to act
What, then, is this, but an inclination prodn
ced by education to throw aside its usual help;
and to think for itself? Thai every man
should think for himsolf on everv subject, is
impossible, both on account of its limited pow
ers, nnd nlso on account of tho vast field of
-human knowledge. All wc wish is, liiul eve
ry man should so accustom himself to close
thinking, to critical investigation, that ho cun
nt plensuro, sift tho thoughts of others, sepa
rate truth from falsehood, und be beyond the
reach of all false argumentation, lint the
misfortune is, that most men do not. ami in
truth ennnut think for themselves on nny im
portant subject. The rensou of this, ns hns
alroudy boon hinted, is the want of education.

parately considered, lies in the importance
which the spirit of chivalry has given to tho
female se.r.
The ancients pilled a man against a man

and the graces nnd energy which nntnre had
given to his corporeal frame. This was the
«taio of things in the lime of Homer. Inn
tnoro refined nee, they added all those excel-
ennes which grow out of the most fervid and
inlire love of country. Antiquity taught her
natives to love women ; the ngo of chivalry
aught her subjects to adoro them. The vul-
pir maxim, that love is never love in its best
"lirit, Inil among noeqnals, is not true. The
ove of Parent and Child, is its best model
ind its most permanent effect. It is an excel-

unteered to join in the attack on the Hessians
at Trenton. He was at that period a Lieuten-
nnt in the company of Captain Washington,
and on the fall of his superior was called upon
to assume the command. He was subsequent
ly wounded in tho engagement while charging
two pieces of the enemy’s artillery. In Col
Trumbull's painting of the “ Capture of (lit
Hessians,” Lieutenant Monroe appears pros-
trato nnd bleeding on the field. On his reco-
very he became attached lo tho staff of Gene-
rul Lord Stirling with the rank of Major ; and
afterwards fought beside Lafuyette, when the
latter was wounded in the Battle of Brandy-
wine.
Washington, confiding in his ability to or
ganise an additional corps for tho army, re
commended his appointment to the command
of a regiment of the Virginia line. He was
accordingly promoted to tho rank of Colonel,
hut before the regiment was completed, the
war had ceased. On his retirement from the

To oppose the tariff men with their own weapons, and
ut the same time to patronise the industiy of our own
State in preference to another, we aio under obliga
lion to purchase whatever articles we may want of the
manufactunrs here, if they can be obtained as cheap
Isewherc. This is undoubtedly the caso with re
gard to the Athens Factory, and we see no reason why
it should not be in all cares where manufactories are
established in the Southern country. YVc have at least
one very decided advantage over all other countries—
we have the raw material in abundance, and by manu
facturing it here, we save the enormous expense of trans
portation. The manufacturing busmct-3 in Georgia is
yet in its infancy, and we cannot predict lo what ex
tent or perfection it may ultimately he carried—it is a
tact, however, that is proven by the experience of all
ages, that in starting a project, the principal evils arc
presented with which it is necessary to contend, and
decr< ase gradually as the plan progresses. If there
fore, the Athens Factory can at this earlv day contend
uccessfully with those old and well regulated esta
blishmcnts at the North, it argues favorably for its fu
ture prosperity. At all events,its proprietors dorm sue
cess for their enterprise, and we ere confident that tin
patronage of a community, liberal and enlightened as
this is known to be, will be readily and cordially ex

people of Georgia, in which he briefly slates hit* nlt-oS
and principles, upnn several very important po-iliciti
lubjects; among which is his opposition to the Pruilen-

is his object in thus obtruding himself and ins opinions
upon the public ? were the first questions that natural
ly presented themselves to my mind; and upon enquiry,
I found that several of my neighbors w ere of the -ame

the s udonl should lie next devoted to the ago

thdHgli of n very different cast from thnl of the
best period of niicient history. Kach has its
beauty. Considered in relntion to man, as n
epeems of being divided into two soxes, the
itge of chivalry Ims greatly the advantage over
the purest ages of antiquity. IIoiv Ihr their
■cveml excellencies may be united and blen
ded together in futuro lime, may bo a matter
for lifter consideration. The elegant and in
quisilive Dr. Robertson remarks, that though
chivalry is considered as a wild institution
the result of caprice and the source of extrav
agance, it had a very serious effect in refining
the manners. Valor, humanity, courtesy, jus- wi the Sth, minute guns were fired and belts tolled
lice, honor, were the characteristics of chiv
alry ; and to these was added religion. War
was carried on with less ferocity, when human
ity, no less than courage, came to be deemed
tho ornament of knighthood. More gentle
•nd polished manners wero introduced, and
violence and oppression ceased. A scrupu
lous adherence to truth, with the most religious
attention to fulfil every engagement, became
the distinguishing character of a gentleman
because chivalry was regarded as the school
-of honor, and inculcated the most delicate
•cn-ihility with respect to that point
An acquaintance with the age of chivalry
may be begun with St Paylayet' memoires sur
r anciunne chcvalric.—and Southty's chroni
cle of the Citi. Cervantes’ admirable romance
its contents, and that high veneration for, nnd
•trong sympathy with its hero, which it is cal
culated to excite in every ingenuous mind, is
one of the noblest records of the principles of
chivalry. It is not noccssarv to recommend a
complete eye/e of the best writers upon this or
