Within the sun-Ut forest,
Onr roof the bright blue sky.
Where fountains flow, an'l wild flowers blow,
We lift our hearts on high :
Beneath the frown es wicked man
Our country's strength is bowing:
But, thanks to God they can't prevent
The lone wild flowers from blowing .
High, high above the tree-tops
The lark is soaring free ;
Where streams the light through broken clouds
His speckled breast I see.
Beneath the might of wicked men
The poor man’s worth is dying *,
But thanked be Hod, in spite of them,
The lark still warbles flying !
The preacher says, “ Lord bless us !’*
{*ord bless us!” echo cries ;
*• Amen !” the breezes murmur low,
•• Amen !” the rill replies;
The ceaseless toil of wo-worn hearts
The proud with pangs are paying ;
But here, oh God of earth and heaven!
The humble heart is praying. *
How softly, in the pauses
Os song, re-echoed wide,
The cushat’s coo, the linnet 3 lay.
O’er rill and river glide ;
With evil deeds of men
The affrighted land is ringing ;
But Still, oh Lord ! the pious heart .
And soul-toned voice arc singing !
Hush ! hush! the preacher preaeheth,
*• Wo to th’ oppressor, wo !”
Bntsudden gloom o’ercast the sun,
And saddened flowers below ;
So frowns the Lord ! but tyrants, ye
Deride his indignation,
And see not in his gathered brow,
Your day of tabulation!
Speak low, thou heav’n-paid teacher.*
The tempest bursts above ;
God whispers in the thunder: hear
The terrors of his love!
On useful hands and honest hearts
The base their wrath are wreaking;
But, thanked be God, they can’t prevent
The storm of Heaven from speaking.

mission to kill V *
44 In what manner do you desire to kill ? with
ihe sword t”
44 Y’our petitioners consider the sword as an
antiquated way of extinguishing life. There is
A savage ness about it, and a useless eflusioti of
blood. Wounds are inconvenient, and not al
ways mortal. We wish to do our work with
less trouble, and more effectually. Death by
the sword is an unjust and partial system. It
affects only those who are drawn up in battle
nrray. It falls entirely upon one sex. Accord
ing to the theory of Maltlius, there are more
human beings created than the earth is able to
contain ; therefore it is necessary that a part be
cut off, for the safety and subsistence of the
whole- Now, as there are full as many women
in the world a9 men, some process of diminu
tion ought to be devised, in which they shall
hear due proportiop. We petition for leave to
kill women and children, as well as men. We
pray that power may be given us to enter the
domestic sanctuary, and to slay by the fireside,
as well as iu the battle-field.”
44 Do you prefer the use of gunpowder to the
sword T*
“ May it please your honors, none reverence
more than ourselves, the invention of gunpow
der. As an expeditious and commodious way
©f freeing earth of her supernumeraries, it is
truly admirable > we are not per
fectly satisfied to adopt it. It is too local in its
operations. When the field is once covered
with the dead, the thunder of the cannon ceases.
Battles are not of frequent occurrence. We
prefer to employ an agent that needs no rest,
and that night and day, may follow the work of
destruction.’*
44 It would seem, then, that pestilence or fa
mine must be summoned as executioners of
your commission.”
44 We suppose that the plague may be im
ported, and we know that it has produced great
effects. The cities of the east have been hum
bled in sackcloth before it, and desolated Lon
don, anciently inscribed with the red cross, and
44 Lord, have mercy upon us,” the doors of her
smitten and almost tenantiess dwellings. The
past year, too, in the opening graves of our own
land, told how tearful was even the lightest foot
step of the desttoyer, 44 walking in dark ness.”
Famine also has withered whole nations. They
have blighted and faded nwav; 44 stricken thro*
for want of the fruits of the field.” But earth
soon renovated herteU, and was again clothed
with plenty* The harvest whitened, and the
£taoe filled ks dustets. The flocks that had
vanished from the fold returned, and the herds
lowed iu their stalls, Health and fullness of
hr*ad banished away every trace es weeping
and wo. Not only is the dominion of pestilence
w'd famine transient, but their sway is also re
stricted. In the height of their power, they kill
only the body* They have uo authority over
the soul. We desire a broader commission.
We request liberty to 4 kill the soul as well as
the body.* ”
44 What tremendous agent do you then seek,
before whom the ravages of war, and pestilence,
and famine, are forgotten 1”

A Wag.—' The New York Gazette relate,
that a wag went last week to the Washington
Market to purchase eggs. He found a coun
tryman with a basket, containing the quantity
he wanted—-after agreeing upon the price, he
told the countryman to fold his arms, and he
would count them out of the basket* He did
so, and piled them, amounting to five dozen,
up to his chin ; then told him to hold on till
he ran home for his change. After waiting till
his arms ached with his load, without a return
of his customer, he was relieved from his awk
ward predicament by crying murder •
An elephant, said to be the largest ever seen
in this country, arrived at Philadelphia on the
IGthult. The Pennsylvanian states that he is
35 feet 3 inches long from the end of his snout
to the end of his tail, and 8 feet 9 inches high.
The price asked for him is six thousand dol
lars.
The number of slaves who have died in the
State of Mississippi, of cholera, is estimated at

per cent, of the entire slave population. Val

cuniary loss of Louisiana four millions. — Ada.
Striking and True Story. —Two young Ger
man noblemen having finished their College
Session, resolved on making together an excur
sion of pleasure in the Hartz mountains. Ha
ving been, occupied one day in a wild part of
that wild district in gathering specimens of min
erals, they were overtaken by a storm and be
nighted. Having lost their way they wandered
about for some heurs, when, wet and cold, they
came to the ruins of an old castle, where they
entered to try and find shelter for the night.
In a low vaulted room they were surprised and
alarmed to find the embers of a fire still burning.
Fearing robbers, they agreed that one should
, watch, while the other slept; and loading a
pistol which they happened to have with them,
they heaped wood upon the fire, and one of
them, wrapping himself in his cloak, lay down
to take his turn of sleep His companion, pla
cing the pistol beside him, w’as passing the time
in tracing resemblances of faces in the embers
of the fire; when, all at once, a secret door
seemed to open in the wall opposite to hirn,
disclosing several armed men sitting round a
table. One of these advancing, ordered him to
follow him, saying that resistance was vain.
The young man, starting up, seized and fired
the pistol; the man fell, when horrid to relate,
he found that lie had awoke from a dream, and
J shot his friend through the heart.- Greenock Int.

Charleston, Sept. 6.
Extension of the Rail Road. —lt will be
perceived from the advertisement of the Com
pany, that the Rail Road will be extended on
the 10th inst. to 44 Aiken,” a town laid out re
cently, 120 miles from Charleston, only 16
from Augusta, and about 20 from Edgefield
Court House, the whole distance being now o
pened excepting about one mile at the inclined
plane. In a few days after, the entire length of
the Road will admit of being traversed either
for freight or passengers. Aiken is said to be
admirably adapted in its central position, as a
general depot for the interior, being nearer than
either Columbia, Camden, or Augusta, to the
upper districts of this State. The celebrated
Cuker Spring is within half a mile of Aiken,
and promises to afford, in a resort to its salu
brious waters, an admirable retreat for the in
valid, being situated m a remarkable healthy
part of the country.
Stephen Burrows. —The notorious coun
terfeiter Stephen Burrows, who formerly flood
ed the United States with counterfeit bank
notes, is still living at Three Rivers, Lower
Canada. He is an old man, and said to be en
tirely destitute of property. The Philadelphia
Gazette says, he is a native of Massachusetts ;
hut the Gazette is mistaken, he is the son of the
late Eden Burrows, of Hanover, New Hamp
shire, and was for a time a member of Dart
mouth College, in that town. Massachusetts
was the theatre of some of his comical pranks,
and Castle Island for a season his residence. A
son of his has been elected a member of the
Provincial Parliament.— Hartford Review.
The American Press is more approbriously
treated in Mr. Hamilton’s 41 Men and Mauners

any foreign publication. Congress, as a body,

what has been already published. ,
The proprietor, sometime before he ottered
this Lottery to the public, had mortgaged near
ly all his property to two persons whom ie
owed—one contained the negroes, the other
‘ the lands, Ac. and as he believed for less than
half of its value ; However, with a view to take
them up before, or at the time they became
due, and proceeded on with his mercantile u
siness; but he was from misfortune unable to
take up the mortgages, and having made many
other creditors, and perceiving that landed pro
perty had fallen nearly half its value, and final
ly finding for what it would bring, that even all
his property would not satisfy his creditors,
unless he gets its value ; and having been thus
fixed, and being anxious to do justice * ,ls
other creditors, as well as the mortgagees, offer
ed his property in said Lottery.
He applied to his creditors for their approba- j
tion—and amongst them, one whose claim is
quite inconsiderable, refused, and isiiued bisfi
fa (after which, others issued and levied on
property,) and it w’as all sold, from the first
Tuesday in last August, and up to the first
Tuesday in September, and bought in by two
mortgages at comparatively small prices, but.
more than the amount of the fi fa, and the pro
perty left with the proprietor to carry on the
Lottery. Said creditor’s claim being younger
than others, the money was paid to the eldest,
claim, and he still not paid. On visiting Sa
vannah, the proprietor was taken by this same
creditor by ca sa, and placed in confinement on
the 23d of last March, and in the mean time
the mortgagee’s attorney took possession of the
negroes offered in the scheme of said Lottery’
and sold them. It is proper to state, that from
the sales of tickets, there is a larger amount of
money on hand than the amount of the nine
negroes offered in the scheme in said Lottery.
On taking now neaHy two months to consult
(both personally and by letters) a number of
gentlemen , the best course to be taken, the pro
prietor from their advice , as well as his oww
convictions has, come to the conclusion to con
tinue the said Lottery, but admits he mus
have the aid of his country. He will present a
petition to the next Legislature as soon as it
sits, with a nnmber of respectable signers, pray
ing leave to draw said Lottery, and to pay cash
to prize holders instead of negroes to the amount
set forth in the scheme of said negroes. Then
justice will be done to purchasers of tickets, and
to his numerous creditors, and he will feel
grateful to his country, which will verify the old
adage, 44 a friend in need is a friend indeed.”
He does not make the appeal to the public
with a hope of obtaining the fame of Timoleon
of old, by means of chance and fortune—no;
he only asks what can be done by his State—-
for its aid so as to act legally—and oaly to
maintain his steadiness of purpose and firmness
of mind, by which, although poor, he will be
able to pass the remainder of his days, neither
to be grieved with past prosperity, nor to be
broken down by present or future adversity, but
to be gratified for having the satisfaction of
doing justice, and for the following very good
reasons—it will balance his affairs, restore his
credit, satisfy his creditors, and to injure neither
individual nor country in this peculiar case.
It is therefore requested, that the purchasers
of tickets remain satisfied, until it is knotvn
whether the Legislature will have rejected or
granted his petition. If rejected, all the money
will be returned by the agents; but if, on the
other hand, the petition is allowed, he will have
time to sell his unsold tickets, and draw said
Lottery by the first of next January, the time
specified in the last notice, dated the 25th of
March. J. B. BATEMAN.

notices that have been issued, respecting said
Lottery, will be pleased to give the above one

A CARD.
IT is known that the Thomaston Union Ho
tel property Lottery was offered to obtain
the value of the Proprietor’s property, or a suf
ficiency bv which to enable him to pay his debts.
It is also known, that the failure or carrying of’
it into effect, is now set to depend on leave from
the ensuing Legislature for the drawing.
He knows it has not been owing to a want of
exertion in him—nor can he believe it has been
the want of generosity or confidence in the pub
lic if it ultimately fail. Therefore, let it be re
membered, that although he may be continued
in confinement, away from his family pnd busi
ness, by a refractory creditor, (to the injury of
ail,) yet ho considers himself bound by honor j
and justice, in case df failure, to see every ticket j
which has been sold & paid for, redeemed, and \ .
the expenses paid, before he can make an exhi-!
bit to his creditors. It would be doing, (after’
what has taken place,) injustice to his feelings, i
to generosity, and to the community to expect
it of him.
