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. [FOR THE OEOROUH.] Mr. Editor:—I have read the lucubrations of g|* A Slaveholder,” in lan evening’s paper. That “‘'slaveholder" is, no doubt,* most able man, accord ing to his own conception. But others can think as well as his sapient “ self.” Libertt is a Jewel too highly prized tube sacrificed at the shrine of personal feelings. The While citizens nf Savannah do not require to hold slaves to know what is for their " weal or wo. 1 They imagine that they are able to know who are republicans, jun as well whether they are worth • groat or worth a plumb. They bcliovo they are freemen—and they hnve placed their bands in their nockcts, nnd found that they were 1 TAX PAYERS. N, B.—“ Brevity is the soul of wit”—vide Ana creon. Freedom is only known when tho Ballot Box is opined.

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. Com. Adv 23d inti. [for the Georgian.] 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 •unities which so ufio-i impoverished your menus to suppmt and maintain, inn respectable wuy.y.tur families? You reply no; Thou let yom answer to them ho, t>, in*nil and obey tho “eleventh command ment,” and you will then warrant a speody and sure amendment in that specie of property.

SAVANNAH. “ Thu pride which opts humility''— But whilo I condemn tlto course of tlie intomporuto advocates of teinporauco, I am equally oppo sed to tho course pursued by those who pro fess tltom-olvc# aggrieved 1 by the attempted urdinsneo. It rmiunt bo expected by thorn, uor has any writer ou their side, hinted at such a thing, that tho City authorities will abatiduu all exorcise uf authority over the retail of spiritous li quors. Thoir retail must bo in auhservi unco to tlto laws and to good order. Tho question to be de 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 good behaviour—anil voted accordingly. Surely they nro nut to bo proscribed for that viow of the subject. To you I would snv, do mu imitate thoso would be dictators in tlioit unchuritablcuoss, uud proscription. . Do not lot this question como among you, and destroy your pouco nnd unity. Do not por- tuil those men to usurp a predominant powor in public affairs by this question. Discard it from po litical affairs. Ask concerning your candidate, is ho honest, is ho cnpuldu T Thera is no fear that nieu incompetent from intemperance will over bo entrusted With power to do injury. An intemporutc mun will soun display his fault, uiul tho euro to ill* public is soon worked, l’ul down thus* agitators, by refusing to notico them. All they want is that you should, by a false'stop, commence tho attack, lie ware how you do it. Trust t„ tlto sober sense of tho community. To both sides, 1 would suy, show that you do not wi*h to curry this question into politics by openly supporting indiscriminately thoso gentlemen who voted fur the oath, uud thoso who vo:eil against it. They have nil shown thumselvos faithful servants. Let them reap the reward of our renewed coniidunco. ANTI-rilAUlSEG. [FOR THE or.OROUN.] TO THE INDEPENDENT VOTERS FOR AL DERMEN, OF THE CITY OF SAVANNAH. Fellow Citizens What are tho motives which actuate the members of Temporunco Soclotirs, in tho present crusado against tho constitutional rights of the grocers, and very many other classes of so ciety ? Are th-*y pure nnd untinctured by selfish- nu-sof purpose and of self? Compare the public acts of thoso men with their professions, and whilst so doing, you w II nckgnwle Iga that instead of eg* orci-ing that great moral influence and r.hrislinn like propriety of conduct, with a mixture of the milk nf human kindness, to serve as guides to cheer their less enlightened brethren onward, and assist their weakness in resisting the temptations of tho bottle, they are even now sowing tho seeds of strife and confusion t hrongh ovary ramification of sociuty, until “ Madness rules the hour." I n*k of yon, wh" are these men ? What avideners hnve they given uf superior wisdom, that the people should tamely yield, like scroites.

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.

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.

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 take un oath, l mi faro lie is admitted to ptocti-e in tho State—tlto member# of C *uncil, have to tako an oath.
