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.

I’etition to a Legislature for License to sell Spirituous Liquors. 41 May it please your honors to grant us per 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” ** My it please you to grant our petition for a license to sell ardent sprits .?** H. S. Hartford , Conn. May 22. 1833. Mr. Jenks, of the Nantucket Inquirer, 9ays —•* A hearty laugh occasionally is a mark of wisdom ; it shakes the cobwebs out of a man’s, brain, and the hypocondria from his ribs, far more effectually than either champaigne or blu ’ jnlls.” l 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 1000; and in Louisiana at 10,000, or about 8 per cent, of the entire slave population. Val uing each slave at S4OO, would make the pe 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.

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.

JAMES WHITE, Adm'r, , Thomaston, 2d September, 1833.—17. . l/lwv*iV **'!■ vr tt;p VVkV 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. {£? Editors who have published any of the notices that have been issued, respecting said Lottery, will be pleased to give the above one nsertion per till the Legislature sits in next November. June 26. 7 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. J. B. BATEMAN.
