.“ 0 well mny the bottle row,
And better mny ahn speed,
And well may the boatlo row,
That wins bright vict’rya merd.
The I malic rows, the bottle rows,
The hoatie rows lull fait.
And lightsome be his life, whose lot
Is on the waters cost”—
Our “tricksy Ariel" (for we have oar Ariel.es
well as ho of the Now York Herald) hai furnished
us the following account of t splendid regatta that
was lately gut up at Vernonsburgh, (and we have
yielded him our elbow chair that he may be editori-
ally inspired.) We regret that it was done in so
quiet a manner, that few of our chitons know of it,
and could not partako in the exciting delights of the
occasion. There wero the four following entries,
viz:—
The Alice, entered by Mr. Cooper, color green,
with white stripe; dress of oarsmen, rod and white.
The Jullu, entered by Mr. Torcber, color green,
with yellow stripe; dress of oarsmen, all white.
The Return Camel, entered by Mr. Wright,
color black,with whito stripe; dress, blue and whl e.
The Coal Black Rose, entered by Mr. Snlfner,
l no particular color. \
Vll of them were pulled by two narsm-n, distance,
one mile at slack water,—prize, the smiles of the
fair sex. At tho roll of the drum, the boots canto to
the starting point, each crew impatient for the word,
and ready to sirnin every none fur the conquest
The afternoon was beautiful; o pleasant brecte just
rippled the surface of tho water, and the sun was
verging towards the horizon, gilding the accumula
tion of'towering clouds, through which ho had tra
velled the livelong day, ami which now seemed to
gather in suspense nround him, to await the tesult
of theimportant contest now about to come off. In
like manner, and forming quite ns bright a nucleus,
the ladies clustered together on the bluff opposite
the stakebnot, whore the rpce was to terminate.
Each was anxious for tho success of the bout which
she had singled out os her fnvourito, nnd eyes kind
led with hope,and foil in.despair as when (the con
test began) victory or defeat scorned to favour or
threaten her protege. •
All were now rendy, and at tho third tap of the
drum they started, and all bent strongly to the task,
while a signal gun boomed over tho water to an
nounce that tho boats wore off. For some m-'moots
the event was doubtful, but soon tho Julia and lice
were seen taking the lead, nnd u sovere brush en
sued between them; the Return Camel following
quietly in their wake,'and the Coal Black Rose fur
in tho rear, having unfortunately broko an oar-lock.
Her crew, however, strove manfully with oar nnd
paddlo, but in vain. In tho'meantime, the Alice
wn%gradually shaking off hor competitors, and final
ly camo'out nbout 60 yard in advance; tho Julia
second, the Return Camel third,nnd the Coal Black
Rose fourth.—Time of winning boat, 7 minutes.—
Tho third named boat was manned by n picked
■ (>. crew from Savannah, nnd tho other three by tho
'“native tnlnnt of White Bluff—which placo has
gained laurels not easily displaced
i- After the race, the assembled company partook
of refreshments provided at ono of tho beau'iful
villas fronting the water, where tables were spread
under Heaven’s canopy, or the verdant swan).—
The ladies who had honored tho rnce with their en
couragement, now graced the feast with their smites,
end after on hour or two of innocent mirth and hi
larity, at sunset, the company dispersed Tims
ended the “first Regain" nt Vernonshuigh, which
we hopo is the commenoem-nt of n long line of
pleasant associations and simple enjoyment
Shades of Clnanthus and Pnlinurus, (theolde*,.
coxswains on record, after Noah, who steered tho
ark when it raved with the mountain tops,) Inspire
our young men, to emulate each other in all nmuly
sports, and to those living on the river or s-abourd
grunt a taste for aquatic spurs—of nil others m>>st
useful and interesting! Indeed, wd should be glad
to see tho spirit of emulation and improvement
more wide spreud in other patticulurs. We could
vrislt to soo more pains tnk<-n to ornament our lauds
and a greater degree of patriotic nnd local pride
than we now seo. There seems generally to bo lit.
tleuttu.-hment to those places wo have 1 oked upon
from earliest days, and wo seem content that they
should remain in tho rudeness they have ever en
joyed. For our own pait, we love our nutivo soil,
with oil its sandy wastes; and there aro green spots
In it, like those In memory, that wo would change
or none on earth—for
, " Tho’ grecnei hills may catch the sun
f' Beneath the glorious heaven of France,
And streams rqi<*icing a* they run,
Like lifohe.icath tho day-beams glance,
Muy wander where the orange bough
With golden f.nit is bending low;
And there may bend a brighter sky
Cl’er green and cfosxic Italy—
And pillared fano nnd ancient gravo
Bear record of anotli-r time
While over shaft and architrave
Tho green, luxurious ivy climb,"—
Yet would wo not change for all these, the sploi did
mosshung arches of our live-oaks or the ivy-covered
columns of our noble pines,—or our glorious sky
and balmy breezes- -Thoso who do not love these,
their earliest friends, mny wander in vain, to find
more loveable objecta*nnd havo not a soul to appre
ciate nature and her luxuriance. They are thoso,
who fleo from their own thoughts and company, and
seek in change of society, end place, to forget their
own vacuity. But forgive us, gentle render, for
our digression; we began with a boat race, and end
ed wo know not where, but wo w< re led away by our
love of our native soil, which we wish to see wor
thy of tho proud attachment we feel for it. Were
we born en a barren rock, we would endeavour to
gather there, soilenough to make a garden, or to
spread out under our eyes nature’s carpet of green
turf.. There is too, much that improves tho heart
as wo improve tho natural world, and in our search.
Ings after science; for ns the Prince da Ligne truly
says, it is impossible for a wicked man to posses* a
love of nature and its cultivation.

Sinoular.—We have information from below
that on Wednesday lust the pilot boat Blossom, uff
the Woodlands, fell in with a Baltimore built schr. (
on board which were «nmo 25 or30 men, nil blacks,
short of provisions and water, with which tho Blos
som supplied them. On Thursday the Blossom
took the schooner in tow, intending to bring her in,
but some suspicions mouoments on the port of the
black crew induced the pilots to cast her off.
There appealed to he no person on board who
could speak English; the blacks were well supplied
with cutlasses and other weapons, Initssem to have
no skill in navigation, ns tho schooner was drifting
about apparently without any guidance or object-
having very little canvass set. When lust socn she
was about 30 miles S. S. E. of Sandy Hook.
A Spanish schooner sailed from Huvuna some 6
or 8 weeks ago, with a number of slaves on boards
and 26 whito passengers, destined for St. dago do
Culm. Intelligence was soon after received thatlhe
Mucks had risen upon the whites and put tlium to
donth, passengers, crew nnd nil. A vessel of war
was sent from Havana in pursuit, hut we have had
no account of tho schooner's capture. There is
strung reason to hclievs that the schooner reported
by the Blossom is that sumo Spaniard.— N. Y.

Mr. Editor:—It is with regret that I again in
trude upon tite patience of yourself and renders.
Whrn l first addressed you, l did so from the be
lief. formed from the communications of men of
responsibility nnd veracity, that tite speakers of the
Temperance Society had charged n portion of Conn
cil with violating their duty nod their until. A*
soon ns the sp»nk--rs alluded to. hud ox rossly de
nied such intention or assertion, the mutter with
me lost m ist ofits interest, for I quarrel with no matt
for hit opinion, nnd I know that every freeman hits
the unquestionable right to speak of tho actions of
public, servant*, in n“firm and fearless manner.” Bur
I thought it v.-ry hard thutn Church should be marie
“ th* slaughter house for tho character of honest
m 'll,” in 'rely because they Imd exercised a p ivilege,
enj.y. d by eveiy member of our happy country,
hive already sai l, that I ant glut! no such uhitigc
wit* intended, and thai tho accused still have the
“ high reg trd" of tho speaker*, n rrgi-d which
presume would not lie extended to perjured men.
This is now tho state of the case; the speaker-
of the Temp-rnncu Society expressly affirm; that
differing in judgment with the Council, they con
demned the net without impugning the motive# of
the doers; tltn members of Council who voted
against the law, think that they were right,and con
demn the judgment of the speakers of the Temper-
a co Society, without tho slightest dr-sire to attack
the leal ings and motives of anyone. And here the
mutter might safely rest, nnd an enlightened com-
mun ty be suffered to decide who was right, and
who wo* wrong.
But the author of tho c onmoniention (It has no
name) in your paper, insult ■ hut the words should
be named. As ho scorns determiner! t" keep up a
newspaper controversy,! inform him that tlto words.
t-pnrtcd to me, were, “ that the Council In re.
fusing to pits* tho ordinance, had violated llmir duty
ami their oa<h,” nr words to tho snmo effect;
and further, that ti.e Council were held up to public
indignation for their SHid vote. I have seen several
gentlemen this morning, since the communication
has appeared, nnd they havo repeated to mu that
such was their distinct understanding of the mean
ing and words of the speakers, and that nothing but
the express denial that has been mnde,could induce
hem to doubt tho accuracy of their recollection.
They hnve suid moreover, that tho' It is very painful
to them to huvo their names paraded inn matter,
with which sumo of them have no interest, yet, tho 1
if it bn necessary, they mny he given up to the speak
er*, not to impeach their veracity, but to confirm
their own assertions, that they so expressly under
stood the speakers.
In order, therefore, to convince your correspon
dent that there is no shrinking in this matter, 1 res
pectfully nsk of you, that you will give me up Ills
name, in order that I mny call upon him, nnd fur
nish him with tho mimes of rcspectahlo and respon
sible men, as authority for the assertions I huvs
made.
You will distinctly understand me, that I Jo not
desire to make up ony issue of veracity between
these gantlemrn. I hat^no desire to keep np with
them any unpleasant feeling. But I make this re.
quest ofyau, in order that your correspondent may
he satisfied that he has nutheen causelessly assailed.
No one for theexsreise of his judgment and opin
ion, will ever be by me PROSCRIBED.
n ally think they will be quietly permitted to rule
the country, and further, In their insane attempts
ngnlnst the personal rights of seven eights of their
fellow chitons j human nature is liable to err, and
this must account for their having became in a great
degree, tho advocates of hypocrisy, bigotry and
fanaticism. Tell them they never can effect tho
cure, which tin doubt many of you would wish tn
see, nnr entice men to resign the use of ardmt spir
its, by tha/urcs of laws. It is true, weak instru
ments have somulimes been used to elfiot great ob
jects. Rome was saved by tho cackling of a goose
—but we novor Inve s *en it written, that a tuition
was preserved by tho braying of asses t
WliHtihoir real intent! mi* are, is now mnleevl.
<1 ni to you all. Tlteynre now disrobed uf all that
doubt nnd myst-ry, by which they hnve heretofore
a'temp'od to cloak them. H id they all this time
been exerting thdinsnlves to induce the people to re
frain from the use of ardent spirits, they would ho
justly entitled tn the approbation «.f every good citi
zen. But it U lamentably true, that temperance
form* no pnrtufthoir projects, tlv-ir view is to get
power and tyrnniso over tho puople, and if they
can swell thoir petitions to tlm Legislature, it mat
ters not with them, whether tho*o who sign thorn,
are drunkard* or sober men, so that they can sucute
the passage of a fifteen gallon law.
Wu candidly say to you that wc cannot force our
selves to believe for a moment,'whatever may be
tho vibration uf your views regarding thoir finul in
tentions, that they aro influunced wither by a proper
regard fur the welfare of tint human race, or the mu
ni elevation of their fellow citizens, nnd that their
calculations era of the most narrow, selft-h nnd
mercenary character.
What right havo those men to stmt Into your pri
vate dwellings, get your wivos nnd children to sign
petitions, praying the Legislature tnpnssluws which
would tnuko you, the free whito citizens of this re
public, tho guardians of thi ir negroes, because fur'
sno'h, some nf their sorvnnt* nre upt to lincnmo va
lueless, “ by tho ii.v • uf ardent spirits. Is the whole
country to bo culled onto stand guard around tho
interests of a pnrticu'ur sol of men, ns if no other ctu
izen owned property of n similar chnructor, or ro*
quit«*d the interposition of the law to preserve it.
Do none of you lose negroes from various onuses,and
far more than thoso destroyed by tho use of splri
tous liquors, and what havo been your course 1 Did
you petition the Legislature to grant you luwsv-hich
would protect the fines of your negroes fioin tlmso

families? You reply no; Thou let yom answer to

“ Thu pride which opts humility''—
But whilo I condemn tlto course of tlie intomporuto

sed to tho course pursued by those who pro
fess tltom-olvc# aggrieved 1 by the attempted

cided by the Board, wns simply one of expediency
—whether there was security enough afforded by
tho existing luws, (f those taws were enforced, or
whether un outli should bo supernddod. Homo
thought it would provu ou additional security for

they nro nut to bo proscribed for that viow of the

tuil those men to usurp a predominant powor in

ho honest, is ho cnpuldu T Thera is no fear that

show that you do not wi*h to curry this question into

KEEP COOL.
Mr. Editor :—As one whoso every interest I*
identified With our loved Savannah, I regret very
much to see iho turn nffYirs nro Inking rein ive to
the npproadiing Aldermen’* election. Never were
our municipal uffdis bettor m oingcd th in* by the
present hoard. Tito annual expose of tlto mnyot
has put this beyond the ro.ch of denial. All of
thorn, but one, arc again willing to servo ♦oir fol
low citizen*. There is <) disposition on tlto part ol
thn citizens to accept lli-‘ii'services, when suddenly
a new question arises. I myself view that question
simply as .mo ofaxpediency. While I believe that
no oath is, oreverwos, a restraint to the exercise of
had passions, I do not impugn the motives of those
gentlemen whq voted for imposing ono on tlto retail
ers of ardent spirits. 1 am n it for making a mock
ery of the office of Alderman. They must have li
berty and discretion, in exercising their judgment in
relation to th -irduties. I know tltoso gentlemen
to lie good citizens and vn uuhle officers, nnd that
their services are, anil havo been of importance to
our municipal affair*. I do not feel di*pns--d to let
the city lose their services, because my jiidgmunl,
on a point of expediency, differs front theirs. That
would indeed be poor policy.
I have boon surprised to sou the angry feelings
exhibited, on both aid-**, on this occasion. I huve
heard both suts of Aldermen ubused, ono sot for vo
ting for, the other set for voting against tho oath.
Truly, thought I, the pub'icis a hard master J and,
sir, uny mao who Likes n public office with- ut de
termining upon the honest and fearless dischutge of
its duties accord log to his own ideas nf them—most
bo constantly on aseu of vucillatinn nnd doubt.
Unfortunately for thn moral world, tho idoa of
temperance now-n-dny* is confined exclusively to
the use of spirituous liquors. If a man, whether
from tho imperative necessity of health, or the exi
gencies of tho purse, refrain* front the tompernto
us* of wine, he immediately ussumas to himself an
nrroguut air of superiority ov.-r one, who, however
temperately uses what, when properly used, is oun
of the great bounties of a munificent creator, the
juxe of tho grape. Men, whose standing and cha
racter are untarnished, are snnored nt and hinted at
at those in high pluccs who know better, setting a
bad example. But wo! to tho poor mortal who
unfortunately does drown health, wealth, and repq.
lotion in the intoxicating bowl. Instead of winning
him back by gentle means, instead of pointing out
forcibly, bflt mildly, the inevitable rain, temporal and
spiritual, that awaits him who indu g**s in drunken
ness, (nnd no ono can paint such a picture too high
ly,) tho modern Phari.ee “exalt* bis horn,” “makes
broad bis phylactery” before men, and in public
meetings, like his prototype of old. thunks his Oad
he is “ not like other mon," and offer# up tho poor
victim of intemperance as a sacrifice on ihealturo
bis own vanity. Pointed at, denounced, proscribed
with reckless in lifferencu, tho drunkurd flies again
to his dram, and seeks in tho deceitful oxcitement
of liquor a balm for ull bis ills.
Does ono differ from one of thoso intemperate
temperance inon(of courso I allude only to those
who are really so) ns to the course to bo pursued in
keeping down the Hydra of inlem{>arance, you
yourself nre immo liately mado the butts of thoir
shafts t your motive# are assailed by your being told
that your “ conduct is calculated to roll on tho tide
of intemperance, and deluge the hopes and happi
ness of men,” (see a communication in Tuesday’s
Georgian,) what, Mr. Editor, is this a mere figure
of s|ioech, or U it not in fact th« rant grievous ac
cusation that could be brought against uny mun ?
These men modestly ussu.no to bu the “ friend* of
truth, law, and order”—(#co too same piece)
and tho rotder or hearer is art ully It'd on to infer
that tit »»c who oppose tha n, oppose truth, Itw.and
order. Mr K<}itor, I would dosigtialo such condu t
by tho significant term of “ Protestant Jesuitism’’—
I do not altriliutn rich conduct to all who are on-
railed on the list of Tumpvrancn Mociotie*. I be-
Have there a-e many, the lar;e majority, who are
earnest uud honest in tite course they pursue. But
I •quully believe that there are other*, who wish to
gratify thoir ambition by brooming dictators to a
whole community. Sir. thaw aro more kinds of
pride titan that which •‘•ows lUalfln sumptuous liv.
lug. Thera is a prid* said to ba especially grateful
to bD Sxualc mzjv/-
guard which it thrown araund” us. Look Sir, a
meeting is called of all those, who are opposed to
the object of the Temperance 8ocloty of tills city—
and tlto question mad-, whether the principles of
Temperance are to bo supported or put down.—
1 rejoice at this i«*t»o, a brighter day bus never tin wn*
odupon this oily, furl fool enured that when that it
thi-Jti uo point—that thn pious,the moral,thu frietkltoi
truth ami order and law, will harmonize In feeling
nnd action. Sir, wc must have taws to meet the
•I’llll of 1 he ago, The good cannot consent In live in
community when) their principle* era slighted and
Lireganled—where the temperate are to bn ruled
by tho Intemperate—whore the retailer in ardent
spirits oqjoy# greater privilege* than the honest in*
dusirlousmorlinnic.
The writer “ P.” spunks nf martyrdom. Why,
sir, wo never cun slay any mm. Our only weapon is
tho “ sword o ho spirit,” honest, undisguised—
painted truth. Iio uny bo sluln by that—for when
pro-rnted faithfully it invariably pierces und cuts
asunder. The feeling nwukctipd on this subject
may bo denounced “fanaticisnv,” hut it Is tho fanati

[roil THE UKOItGIAN.j
Mr. Editor:—I could not have permitted my
self to huvo been drawn into this controversy, by
tho sole consideration of the poreunal attack made
upon me. This is what ovrry faithful sm-unt of
tho m istcr m ist expect, uud when it cuiucs upon
him, iu tho discharge of duty—battling for tho great
principles of truth und rigliloousnu't—it is n sub
ject of unfeigned rejoicing. But Sir, I have felt,
uud still fold, that important,—vital principle are.
at stake; tlml u question involving the pence,
dor, moral*, uud huppiuoss of men, i* licfoio thu
peoplo; und, as l trust, it is not in me to shrink
front any responsibility resting upon me. “ Pro
scribed” cannot expect tout his staU-ineut* can bu
passed oversuA sitentio. Sir, 1 mil only deny thui
uny attack wus meant upon tint motives of die
members of Council—but I distinctly assert, that
nothing wus said oil tlint suhjtci. It bucuiues nut
me to sit, in judgment, upon tho tuoiivus uud pur
poses of the heart* uf mmi. But tho conduct uf
public men, js public property—and the necessity
ofuddrossing thu Mayor of mu city n note, to
certain Ms motives, was uiuiCke.sury, as wu I
nutliiug to suy pro or con ou tliut subject. Thu
vote was before us. It belonged to thu community,
and till humblest citizuu hud an undoubted right,
to express his opinion upon tin- suoject, in a tree
uud tearless manner. Now Sir, wiiut is charity?
“ It consist- in tho love of God uud oitf neighbour."
But it is nulthut disposition or habit, which silences
the tongue on the subject of crime, and views ull
tnun “ with a promiscuous, uudistinguisuiiig utlcc-
lion, which gives every man tin equal title to our
love.” It shut* not our eyes to the broad—obvious
di-ltiicliun between good and bud men—nor does
it dent -ml »f tho curitlian, a base submission to
thusu, who ousting off', what ho considers solemn
obligations, act without reference to (he welfare of
the peoplo. Imrity compels him to oppose error
und criuui, as much as it prompts him to love,
truth, and virtue. Now Sir, a broad assertion wus
made by “ Proscribed”—and repented in Jus si-coiuI
communication, tlint this uttuck wus muJu by tho
speakers at tiie Tcinporancu .Meeting. Lot that
auihoriiy be adduced -I t'lio words of the spenkors
bo cited. Upon tins Sir, I insist. This writor
“ J’.” cannot evudo this po.nt, by saying, that as I
contended, they were under the strongest obliga
tion to incorporate thn act of the State, into tho city
ordinunce*; and a quibble was resorted to, to sot
aside this .obligation; therefore, thn motives of
Council were attacked. Let mo present this point
fully before yon, Mr. Editor. The question made
by “P.’’.himself, is—"wus there uny obligation
resting on Council, to pass such a law?” Ho ul-
t-mpted to prove tho negative; of c -urse, if there
is nny discussion, or difference of opinion, it remain
ed for mo to say, that th--y were solemnly bound,
as l humbly conceive, by every legal nnd moral
obligation to pnss tho law. I am lint cupuble of
usserting that they, or tho writer “ P..’’—for whom
I entertain feelings of high regard, had “ committed
perjury." Nor does this f -How, from tho position
assumed, or thu language used. Permit mo to il
lustrate this point, and thus set it in tho clearest
light. Eveiy man is hound to contend fur tho truth
on all subjects, und on all occasions. It d-ms not
follow that I charge my neighbour with falsehood,
because 1 maintain that he is espousiag tho sido uf
error.
But to tho question. Why this “ storm,” which
has so suddenly gathered into blnckncss and terror?
Wus it for simply saying that tho voto of Council
was calculated to retard tho progress of * Tompur-
onco—to increase the evil, which tho Legislature
designed to suppress.' Let thnt storm como. It
will purify thu atmosphere, when it shall hove pas
sed ovor us, and leave behind it, a bright sun and
clear sky. Tho design of the LegLIaturo was to
remove the immense evil of intemperance among
our slaves. Is not that design frustrated—defeat-
od—destroyed ? “ P." should have recollected that
in quettiuning th<* morality of tho law, ho has not
paid a high compliment to thn collected wisdom of
thn State—and may according to tho course of his
argument, be said to have attacked the motives of
thut body. Be this as it may. Tim obligation is
on the Council What duos this writor urgo to set
aside this obligation? As soon <u you go beyond
the corporate limits of the city, beyond tbs jurisdic
tion of the Council in this matter,—tho powor of
cratroling, granting and regulnting licenses, is
vested in the Inferior Court. They aro compnllod
therefore, to administer thi* oath to every retailer,
when another within a stone's throw of him, is per
mitted to deal out tho liquid poison, to whom he
pleases, without any such restraint. Is not tho
evil greater in this city, than in any other part of
thn country ? Are not tho Stat* Laws continually
violated by the retailer- ? And d *es not the obliga
tion to pas* thi* law, grew upon tho Council, with
the increase of the ovil ? Carry out tho objection of
P.”~and where dove it lead u# t It sweeps
away all laws. It takes away from oar Courts of
Justice their highest sanctions A lawyer has lu
