Business entrusted to their care in any.of the counties of the Cherokee circuit, trill meet with faithful attention. April 8. T HE undersigned, living nine miles north east of Cassville, in one of the prettiest valleys in Cherokee Georgia, offers the two following farms for sale: the one on which he resides, containing something near twelve hundred acres, about four hundred and for ty of which are cleared, and in a high state of cultivation, including orchards, grass fields, Stc. This farm is well improved, with first rate buildings, a good two story dwel ling, complete y finished off; also a good two story brick house, finished off likewise, two good framed barnes, and all other nec essary buildings, and one of the largest and best Apple orchards north of the Etowah river in Cherokee. This farm for beauty, fertility of soil and convenience, cannot be surpassed by any in the whole State; is as well suppb'ed with water as any situation in the country—there being some ten or twelve of the finest kind of springs on the premises, (some two or three of which are free-stone water,) besides many other ad vantages too tedious to mention, which would readily strike the attention of an ob server. His other farm is situated some three or four miles north of the above, containing Nine Hundred Acres, about two hundred of which are cleared, in fine cultivation, and under a good fence. Buildings only moderate. Any gentleman desiring rich Land, fine spring water, a beautiful situation, and -as healthy a location as can be found South, would be pleased with this place. There are also several fine mill seats on bpth of the above forms, and that convenient to water. Terms to suit the times. \V. CLARKS WYLY. March 4,1852--*£ Thomas Francis Meagher.—Another Noble Speech. On Thursday afternoon, in New York, Thos. F. Meagher, Esq., the Irish exile, ac companied by Richard O’Gorman, Sen. Rob ert Emmett, J. B. Dillon, Bart’w O’Conner and others, was waited upon at the Astor House, by a committee of the common coun cil of that city;—when Alderman Oakley presented him with a certified copy of the resolutions adopted by both boards of the common council, and earnestly requested his acceptance of a public reception into, and the hospitalities of, the city of New York.— Mr. Meagher, in reply to this proffered hon or, delivered the following eloquent address: Gentlemen:—Had the effort in which I lost my freedom been successful, the honors now tendered would not have surprised me. But it was otherwise. Far from realizing, it obscured the hopes which accompanied and inspired it—ending suddenly in discourage* ment and defeat. This the wide world knows. This you yourselves must inwardly admit, though the goodness of your nature will seal your lips to the admission, being fearful of the disparagement it would imply. The gratitude of a people is most bounteous. It is quick to appreciate, to encourage, to re ward. Never slow or stinted in the measure it pours out, its fault is to be too precipitate and profuse. Estimating merit not by the severe standard of success, it takes motives into consideration regardless of the fortune which attends them, and for whatever sacri fices they have entailed, awards a great e- quivalent. In this the gratitude of a peo ple differs from the gratitude of kings.— With the latter, success is an essential con dition of excellence. Pensions, knightly decorations, orders of nobility, these are given by kings in exchange only for the trophies which decorate their halls, or the acquisitions which widen the surface of their dominion. Not so with a people, as I have said. They do not barter and economize their gifts. Whatever the result, be the motive upright, be the deed honorable, and their favors are forthcoming. Moreover, it sometimes happens that where disaster has most grievously befallen, there their sympa thies are most evoked, and their treasures mostplenteously bestowed. This it is which explains the proceedings, in my regard, of the noble city you represent. I have sought to serve my country, and been anxious to contribue to her freedom. This I shall not assume the modesty to deny. Long before I mingled in the strife of politics, it was my ambition to be identified with the destiny of my country—to share her glory, if glory were decreed her—to share her suffering and humiliation, if such should be her portion. For the little I have done and suffered, 1 have had my reward in the penalty assigned To be the last and humblest name in M, B. PARROTT, ATTORNEY AT LAW* (CAIRSrSIRS'miLI&U (Bfio Miwfc 11. 5—ly.

The privi leges of so eminent a city should be sacred to those personifying a great and living cause —a past full of fame, and a future full of hope—and whoso names are prominent and imperishable. It pains me deeply to make this reply, be ing sensible of the enthusiasm which glows around me, and the eagerness with which a public opportunity of meeting me has been Clacking Women. BY DOW, JR.

I know, too, that as it grieves me, it will grieve others, and that, perhaps, the motives that have led to it may be mis understood, misconstrued, and censured.— But I am confident that, after a little while, but I do think that women have no good rea son to say anything, for if we are incompe tent, in a certain degree, women most cer tainly are, in a very uncertain degree.— Their tongues are reeds shaken by the wind —splinters upon a chestnut rail, that keep up a buzzing and jarring so long as there is a breath to move them.

[April 15. the litany which contains the names of Em' mett and Fitzgerald—names which waken notes of heroism in the coldest heart, and stir to lofty purposes the most sluggish mind —is an honor which compensates me fully for the privations which I have endured.— Any recompense of a more joyous nature, it would ill-become me to receive. Whilst my country remains in sorrow and subjection, it would be indelicate of me to participate in the festivities yon propose.— When die lifts her head and nerves her arm for a bolder struggle—when she goes forth like Miriam, with song and timbril to cele brate her victory—I, too, shall lift up my head, and join in the hymn of freedom. Till then, the retirement I seek will best accord with the love I bear her, and the sadness which her present fate inspires. Nor do I forget the companions of my exile. My heart is with them at this hour, and shares the solithde in which they dwell. The free dom that has been restored tome is embitter ed by the recollection of their captivity.— While they are in prison shadow rests upon my spirit, and the thoughts that might oth erwise be free, throb heavily within me.— It is painful for mo spunk I should feel happy in being permitted to be silent. For these reaoos, yon will not feel displaced with me for declining the honors yen solicit me to accept. Did I esteem them leas- I try, my companions and myself, seriously dictates. Yet, so far as your invitation re cognizes the fidelity with which I adhered, and still adhere, to a good and glorious cause, be assured that it has not been exag erated or misplaced. The feelings and convictions which influ enced my career in Ireland, have undergone no change. Still, as ever, I perceive within my country the faculties that fit her for a useful and honorable position ; and believing that they require only to be set in motion to prove successful!, I still would prompt her to put them forth. Besides there is within me a pride that cannot be subdued—there is within me an ambition that cannot be ap- I desire to have a country which shall work out a fortune of her own, and depend no longer for subsistance on the char- ty of other nations. I desire to have a country which I can point to with exulta tion—whose prosperity shall he my life— whose glory shall be my guerdon. I desire to have a country which shall occupy a be neficent position in the world, and by her industry, intellect, integrity and courage, shall contribute, in community with all free nations, to the common happiness and grand eur of humanity. Hopes may have darkened, but the desti ny to which I would see my country lifted, is before me still—a height, like that of Tha- bor, crowned with an eternal sun. It is a bold ambition, but in this fine country I could have none other. The moment we set our foot upon her shore, we behold the off spring of Freedom—the energy, the thrift, the opulence to which she has given birth— and, at a glance, we comprehend her fruit fulness, utility and splendor. We behold the wonders she has wrought—the deformed transformed, the crippled Colony springing into the robust proportions of an Empire which Alexander might well have sighed to conquer—the adventurous spirit of her sons compensating by its rapidity, in little more than half a century, for the thousands of years in which the fond lay still in the shad ow of the ancient forests—we behold all this, and the worship of our youth becomes more profound. To this land I came, as an outcast, to seek an honorable home— as an outlaw, to claim the protection of a flag that is inviolable. By one of the wisest and mildest of the ancient legislators it was decreed, that all those who were driven forever from their own country, should be admitted into the citizenship of Athens. On the same ground, in virtue of the sentence of perpetual ban ishment which excludes me from my native fond, I sought a quiet sanctuary in the home of Washington To no other land could the heart which has felt the rude hand of tyranny so confidently turn for a serene repose. Long may she prosper—continuing faithful to the inheritance left her by the father of the republic. Long may she pros per—gathering into the bosom of her great family the children of all nations—adding to her territory, not by the sword of the soldier or the subtlety of the statesman, but by the diffusion of her principles, and the the consonance of her simple laws and in stitutions with the good sense and purer as pirations of mankind. Long may she pros per each year adding to her stock of pros perity and dignity, and wisdom, and high above her countless fleets and cities, even to the last generation, may the monument of her liberty be descried. In the darkest storm which shakes the thrones and dinasties of the old world, may it stand unscathed !— In the darkest night which falls upon the arms of a struggling people, may it shine forth like the cross in the wilderness, and he to them an emblem of hope and signal of salvation. The Common Council seemed entirely tak en by surprise during the delivery of this address, though they could not but admire the honorable and friendly motives which prompted him to decline the flattering tes timonial while his brothers in persecution were still wearing out their time in the Pe nal Colonies. While alluding to the suffer ings experienced by these gentlemen, Mr. Meagher was deeply affected, and many of the audience were unable to control their feelings. The Baltimore and Pennsylvania delega tions were present daring a portion of the reply. _ stopping them, yon might as well fire a pop gun against thunder, or blow a hand-bel lows against a hurricane. They will talk, like a poll-parrot, merely for the sake of the noise, and (giving them credit for no evil intention) they persevere in jabbering, without once reflecting that, what was music to them may be murder to others. Oh! woman, woman! wherefore art thou gifted with such gigantic powers of gab! Thou wouldst have been an angel, hadst thou an angel's whisper. My hearers, I have been speaking of wo men as a whole. As regards their noisy lo quaciousness, there are many beautiful ex ceptions. I know some whose words have fine fur, instead of dog hair, upon them— whose tones arc as soft and musical as the mild breathings of the ieolian harp—to whom it is soothing to listen, and whose so ciety is as sunshine to the storm-beaten flow er. But, oh ! make my bed under a tin roof during a night of incessant hail; place for ty tom-cats at my window, all in <full feath er,’ (fur, I should have said,) for a tow; bid me deliver an impressive discourse in a grist-mill, soak my corns in a boiling solu tion of potash; bore my ears with a two- inch auger, or a Congressional speech upon the tariff; grate loaf sugar by my side while I am preparing a sermon on Sunday; put me on the rack if yon choose—do what you like, if you will only save me from the ever lasting clack of that woman, whose mildest tones are enough to harrow up a man’s soul, [Shakspeare!] freeze his warm blood, and make each particular hair—whisker, mus tache, and imperial included—to stand on end like bristles upon the back of a pup- worried male pig. My hearers, I am afraid that if I say much more of the gentler sex, my soul, next week, will be as full of regrets as an old cot is of bed bugs in August; nevertheless, I am bound to preach the truth to-day al though the devil may tell me to-morrow I ought to be ashamed for so doing. But, when you see my nose projecting from this old pulpit, know ye that I care not for the fear of man, the favor of women, nor the scoffs of Satan. I let out the truth, link by link, and if I am thought to libel my brother man or my sister woman, let heav en be my judge—the twelve apostles, now above, constitute a jury—and I’ll except of anything for counsel other than a New York lawyer—I can’t go that. In sooth, there is no use in trying to lessen the noise of a talk ative woman's tongue by applying the oil of praise; for the more you grease it by flat tery, the faster and louder it runs. Say not a word; put putty in your ears, and it may tire itself out. Nature made man the strongest; But woman’s tongue the longest; Now, in conclusion, my dear brethren, if you will but count up your errors, and add to the sum total all your actual faults, you will find that the account is to be given to the credit of the femenine gender. Bear and forbear, overlook trifles, forgive all er rors on the part of the last and loveliest of God’s works, and say as I do; Woman, with all thy faults, I love thee still. So mote it be! Sunday Sports in Blew Orleans. We gave recently an account of a Bull and Bear fight, which came off on Sunday, near New Orleans. The Crescent of Mon day last gives an account of the sports of the day previous (Sunday) on the Louisiana course. The entertainments commenced with a horse-race, two mile heats, for a purse of $400. The next entertainment was a foot race, for $25, which was won by Jemmy Owen, in two stright heats. The next was a contest for a silver goblet, to be decided by elimbing a greased pole thirty feet high. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to climb the pole. The Crescent says: The day’s entertainments concluded with the pig business—thus: A hog was turned loose, and whoever succeeded in catching About one hundred enterprising individu als entered the list against the unpromising looking swine. At the tap of the drum, the crowd raised a yell and made after the ..var mint,’’ which in his turn trotted off at a .. two-forty” lick, shaking at them his apol ogy for a tail, and going it with a rash.— He fooled every body ; no one thought he had a ran in his leata and shadowy carcass. The party finally got around the animal, and sundry grabs were made at his abrevi- ated continuation, hut being plentifully greased, it slipped through their fingers like an eel. The pig now took to the open ground in the middle of the Course. The rabble followed at a wide gap, and after running half a mile, headed off the brute, and hus tled him along to near the main stand.— Here a reinforcement went in for the fun, and the quadruped was hemmed in on all sides. He fought bravely, and spun about like a top, but he was beset fore and aft. An enterprising Hibernian finally grab bled him fly the spinal continuation, and held on to him like wax. The Porker ker- flummuxed, and was brought amidst the cheers of the crowd to the front of the main stand, where the judges announced him van quished, and awarded the prize to the con queror, who declared himself as .< Thomas Ryan, the wild Irish boy of Tipperary!” So ended the day’s sport. The same paper contains the following an' nouncement;—« Next Sunday gander pul ling and donkey racing.” Washingtons Charmed Life. Of eighty-six officers, twenty-six were killed, (in Braddock’s action,) among them Sir Peter Halket, and thirty-seven were wounded, including Gage and other field of ficers. Of the men, one half were killed or wounded. Braddock braved every danger. His secretary was shot dead. Both his Eng lish aids were disabled early in the engage ment, leaving the American alone to distrib ute his orders. «. I expected every moment,” said one whose eye was on Washington, ..to see him fall.” Nothing but the superinten ding care of Providence could have saved him. An Indian chief—I suppose a Shaw nee—singled him out with his rifle, and bade others of his officers do the same. Two horses were killed under him; four balls penetrated his coat. .. Some potent Mani- tou guards him,” exclaimed the savage — « Death,” wrote Washington, <• was levelling my companions on every side of me; bnt, by the all-wise dispensation of Providence, I have been protected.” ..To the public,” said Davis, a learned dirine, in the following month,.. I point out that heroic youth, Col. Washington, whom I cannot but hope Prov idence has preserved in so signal a manner for some important service to his country.” .. Who is Mr. Washington?” asked Lord Hal ifax, a few months later. .. I know noth- of him,” he added. .. They say he behaved in Braddock’s action as bravely as if he re ally loved the whistling of the bullets.’*—- Bancroft's American Revolution, A'Case or Conscience.—In a certain Ladies Moral Reform Society, existing not many miles from the banks of a certain riv er, the members were required to sign a pledge not to . set up,’ as it is termed, or do anything else that might be supposed to have a tendency, however remote, to immor ality. One evening as the President was calling over the names, to know whether each member had kept her obligation, a beautiful and highly respectable young la dy burst into tears, and on being questioned as to the cause, said she feared she had bro ken the pledge. Why, what have you done? asked the President. Oh ! sobbed the young lady, Dr. kiss ed me the other night when he waited on me home from meeting, Oh, well, that is nothing very bad, said the President; his kissing docs not make it that you have broken the pledge. Oh, that isn’t the worst of it, exclaimed the conscicncious young lady, I kissed him back again t A Love Tragedy.—A young farm labor er, named Diory, of Fressancourt, depart ment of the Aisne, France, and a servant girl, named Celestine Falour, long enter tained a violent passion for each other, but the parents of the latter resolved to prevent their union. This plunged the loving couple into despair, and they resolved to die. The man, accordingly, a few weeks ago, procured a double-barrelled gun, which he heavily loaded. He and the girl then went to the cemetery at some distance from the village. She placed one of the muzzles in her mouth, touched the trigger with her foot, and fell dead The man then seized the gun, and by means of a string, which he had previously attached, discharged it and he, too fell dead, with his skull shattered to pieces. A Model Dun.—The Eastport Miss. Un Chineten of Gratia. Tasso’s conversation was neither gay nor brilliant. Dante was either taciturn or satirical. Butler was silent or biting. Gray seldom talked or smiled. Hogarth and Swift were very xbeent-mind- edin company. Milton was unsociable, and tttdlt iXtitsMa when pressed into conversation. Kirwan, though copious and eloquent ft* public addresses, was meagre *3*1 dull in colloquial discourse. Virgil was heavy in conversation. La Fontaine appeared heavy, course rid stupid; he could not speak and discribe What he had just seen, bnt then he was die model of poetry. Chaucer’s silence was more agreeable than his conversation. Dryden’s conversation Was slow and dull, his hnmor statumine and reserved. Descartes was silent in mixed campany. Corneille in conversation was ao insipid that he never failed in wearying. Ha did not even speak correctly that language of which he was such a master. Ben. Johnson Used to sit silent in company and suck his wines and their humors. Southey was stiff, sedate, and wrapped up in asceticism. Addison was good company With his inti mate friends, but in mixed company he pre served his dignity by a stiff and reserved si lence. Junius Was so modest that he could scar cely apeak upon the tooet common subject without a suffusion of blushes. Fox in conversation never flagged ; his an imation and variety were inexhaustible. Dr. Bently Was loquacious. Grotius was talkative. Goldsmith wrote like an angel, and talked like poor Poll, Burke Was eminently entertaining enthu siastic, and interesting in conversation. Curran was a convivial deity; he soared into every region and was at home in all. Dr. Rich dreaded a pen as he did a torpe do ; bat he sordid talk like running water. .. the fire is going ottt, Miss Filkins.” «I know it, Mr. Green; and if you would act wisely you would follow its example.

His name is Prade- anx, an artificial flower maker, 32 years old. On the 7th of April, he murdered a man in the Rue des Sevres, and stole 600 francs; on the 22d April he murdered a woman in the Rue VanneaU: ott the 30th April he mnrdered a second woman in tha Rue des Bourguignoris; on the 1st May ha attempted to murder another woman in tha Rue des Sevres. In committing this assas sination he was arrested. The most dramat ic incident is that he was about marrying a young artificial flower maker the day of his arrest, and of his last murder. When tha gendarmes went to his house they found car riages before the door, and bride and guests within waiting the appearance of the bride groom. The bride had on her neek and head several jewels, which her betrothed had sto len from his murdered victims! Melancholy End or a Romance.—A letter to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, dated May 27th, gives a narrative of an ill-aasor- ted marriage, as follows t In 1839, and 1840, Catlin, the painter, hibited a number of Indians in London, a- mong whom was Cadotte, an interpreter. Sarah Haynes, then a beautiful English girl of sixteen, became enamored of Cadotte, and they were married On reaching America, the romance of love was over; for two or three years they resided on the banks of the river St. Clair, on the little property the bride was possesed of; and since that at the and holding him fast by the tail, was to ■ ion thus talks to bis subscribers who have |'g au it > vrhere she taught French and music, Napoleon used to say, * Strange as it may appear, when I want any good head work done, I choose a man, provided his education has been suitable, with a long none.
