THE SUU-TREASUltY BILL.
This important measure, which has en
gaged I ho attention of Congress, and of
the public, so long, we have the unwel
come intelligence, has been defeated afler
all, by a vote in the House of Representa
tives of 12-5 to 111. What alterations
and amendments were made to the bill,
which may have influenced some of the
friends of it in its original shape, now to
go against it, we have not learned.
The Bank organs will doubtless now be
longer and louder in praise of the Conser
vatives, who have proved faithful to their
I iromise—upon what consideration is
mown only to themselves and employers
—while their constituents have been de
ceived and misrepresented.
These corrupt organs have been tolling
this ding dong hell, in sounding how the
bill would increase Executive patronage,
foster corruption, and ruin the Banks, the
currency, See. See. See., until we suppose
some few of the go-betweens in Congress
have become alarmed, and with the sup
pleness to lie expected from such, they
nave gone over to the Federalists, in op
position to this bill, not withstanding eve
ry man of unbiassed judgment has de
tected the device. Now we suppose the
Clayiles will, in pursuance of the com
mon resort, join with the Nullifiers, Whigs
*cui all other opponents of the adminis
tration, and sing out their notes of joy,
over the loss of this measure, at least dur
ing the present session of Congress, in or
der to advance their precious scheme of a
fifty million “monster."
There is not a republican any where
who does not see thaL the issue is now
narrowed down to a National Bank and a
Sub-Treasury-. Mr. Clay proclaims it,
and all men know it. We will not say
that this hill, with some of its most im
portant features stricken out, and other
objectionable amendments made to it,
ought to have passed; yet we believe that
it presented originally the only security
against a fifty million monopoly for fifty
years; and we believe it is vain to op
pose the passage of such a measure. It
will eventually succeed, as certain as the
sun is in [lie heavens. The Government
must be sepai ated from the banking sys
tem, or the country will be filled with cor
ruption, from one end to the other.
Mr. Clay lias brought out his National
Bank. The effect lias been tremendous.
The people are beginning to understand
the game, and will not be driven into the
support of a mammoth National Bank,
notwithstanding the defeat of the Sub-
Treasury bill for the present, by the cun
ning clamors against it, and the traitorous
conduct of some of the people’s present
representatives in Congress. They are
coming out for a divorce ofthe Govern
ment from the Banks, in every quarter of
the Southern and Southwestern States.
Thed isgraceful transaction of the ac
commodation of members of Congress by
,the United States Bank, lately made pub
lic—so dishonorable to Congress, and
blasting to the characters ofthe members,
but for the suppression of their names—
must satisfy every thinking man that if he
.would preserve our republican institu
tions, BANK and STATE must be se
parated. We have now had evidence of
such bribery and corruption as would have
disgraced the most rotten legislation of the
old world If these are already the fruits
°f the connection between BANK and
STATE, what may we not apprehend in
our years of maturity ? Shall tve not be
rotten before we are ripe ?
SEPARATION, entire and eternal sepa
ration, of BANK and STATE, must be
the watchword of Democratic Republi
cans.
The Crops.—Accounts from various sec
tions of the Stale concur in representing
the prospects of the coming crops as be-
ing generally flattering. Corn, in particu
lar, promises a more abundant harvest
"than has been gathered for several years.
Tht prospects of Cotton, however, are not
«o cheering, and fears are entertained that
an average crop will scarcely be realized.

where, for more than half a century, pat

with renewed national pride and devotion
to the liberties enjoyed under our happy,
free and constitutional government, by
each returning fourth of July—the sacred
anniversary ol’ American freedom.
\\ e sincerely regret that suitable pre
parations have not been made for its cele
bration in this city ; yet we trust we shall
witness a sacred respect observed at the
old metropolis, for this long cherished
day of national jubilee with the people
of the Uiion ; while we hope a more ac
tive spirit of patriotism has actuated the
neighboring towns and cities, for its cele
bration in a more becoming manner.
We copy the following well-timed re
marks from the Baltimore American :
It is to be regretted that for some years
past the Anniversary of our Declaration
of Independence has lost some of its ob
servances as a National festival. With
out wishing to see this memorable day-
celebrated with boisterous excess and un
becoming licentiousness, we should be
pleased to see it made the season of rejoi
cing and innocent mirth. If there be an
occasion worthy of the loftiest commemo
ration it is that which identifies itself with
the birth of a free people, who together
with their posterity are to enjoy for ages
the blessings of liberty. The mode of
showing honor to such an event should be
dignified and exalted, that it may corres
pond in all respects with the circumstan
ces with which it is connected. The
Fourth of July should be the jubilee of
good feeling and patriotism, and should
bo honored by the wise and the good, the
young and the old, not in scenes of de
bauchery but in the exercise of intellec
tual enjoyments in which all may partici
pate. The nation that can forget the era
of its political creation will soon he un
mindful ofthe blessings which the occur
rence has conferred, and we shall have
cause deeply to regret the time, come
when it may, that shall see the day which
witnessed the Declaration of American
Independence pass unheeded and unhon
ored.
CONGRESS-IN SENATE,
Tuesday-, June 21, 1S3S.
The journal of the Senate having been
read,
Mr. LUMPKIN rose from his seat and
said:
Mr. President, I have, through a long
course of public life, generally borne in
silence the many gross misrepresentations
which have been levelled against my char
acter through the medium of newspapers.
I have relied upon my conduct as suffi
cient to put down false imputation and
slander. But a case has now arisen which,
to my mind, demands my notice.
From the time I took my seat in the
Senate up to the present morning, nothing
which I have said in debate here has been
correctly reported in the columns of the
National Intelligencer, except when cor
rected by myself. 1 have not only- on sev
eral occasions been represented to speak
nonsense which I never uttered, but more than
once what I did say lias been so perver
ted, as directly- to reverse my- real opinions.
But having no personal unkind feelings
to either editors or reporters of that paper,
and knowing of no cause of unkind feel
ings from them to me, I have passed over
those errors in a spirit of forbearance, and
without public complaint. I have, how
ever, read in the Intelligencer of this morn
ing, what purports to be a report of the
discussion which took place in the Senate,
on the 7th instant, on the bill making ap
propriations for the suppression of Indian
hostilities; and so far as my name is con
nected with the report, manifest injustice
has been done me. I am not only pre
sented in a manner to place me out of my
true position, on that occasion, but I mn
represented as having contradicted myself
in the presence of this Senate, by alter
nately- admitting, and denying, that the
propositions of the Secretary of War, were
intended to allow the Indians two years
longer time to remain in the States. This
is wholly false. I contended throughout
I lie whole discussion, that the object of
the Government in trying to conciliate
Ross, was not to delay, but rather to
hasten the removal of the Indians in
peace, and that the only time asked from
the States was that which might be re
quired by humanity, and a due regard to the
reasonable comfort ofthe Indians.
Moreover, the debate, as reported in
the Intelligencer, seems to place me in the
light ofhaving unkindly attacked the Go
vernor of Georgia, and ofhaving provoked
a reply from the Senator from Soutli Car
olina, [Mr. Preston.] Now I appeal to
the Senate, and to you, Mr. President, to
say whether the whole of my remarks
were not in the nature of a reply to the
Senator from South Carolina, as heretofore
reported under my own correction. And
to this Senate I appeal for an accuracy of
the report, as corrected by myself. My
remarks consist chiefly- of a statement of
facts, no one of which, as sanctioned by
me, has or can be controverted..
I should not have said a word on the oc
casion referred to, but for the remarks of
the Senator from South Carolina, which I
considered as havingan unjustifiable bear
ing on the Administration as well as my
self.
My object was, in the discussion refer
red to, to place all the important facts
before the Senate and the country—with
out any design whatever to act unkindly
to any one whatever. And I now in my
place, defy any human being whatever,
to controvert successfully the truth of any
fact stated in my remarks on the subject,
as reported under my own correction. I
will not quietly suffer myself on this sub
ject, to be borne down by newspaper im
putations and insinuations, founded in
falsehood, and a spirit of misrepresenta
tion. If I have erred in this whole mat
ter, (which I deny,) I ask for direct and
tangible charges, I am ready to meet all
such charges.
You will oblige the inhabitants in the
vicinity of the Court House, by having a
cellar of stagnant water, on the corner of
Hancock and Wilkinson streets, filled up.
Wherever a nuisance is suffered to remain
that is calculated to injure the health of
the city, after any one of your body has
been in firmed of its existence, the only
remedy is to call your attention to the mat
ter, by giving publicity of your refusal or
neglect to do your duty. It will require
but little time and small expense to re
lieve the community of this disagreeable
nuisance; and it cannot interfere, it is
hoped, too much with your admirable po
bey, so handsomely and successfully car
ried out this year, in promoting particular
locations and individual interests, to the
prejudice of the balance of the tax-pay
ing citizens. EQUAL RIGHTS.

From the Jacksonville Cour. Extra, June 21.
Another Indian fight.—4 P. M.—By the
Steamer Santee we have just received in
telligence of a battle with the Indians, on
the day before yesterdary, within a few
miles of Newnansville. Capt. Beal of the
Dragoons, with 30 or 40 men, Lieutenant
Howe of the same corps, with 12 men,
and Capt. Walker a volunteer, fell in with
abody of about 60 Indians, who gave them
a warm salute. Walker was killed, and
five of Beal’s command were wounded.
Five horses were killed; among them Beal’s
and Howe’s. Several Indians said to be
killed.
Gen. Taylor with six companies of men
arrived yesterday at Black Creek, and we
trust lie will soon leach the savages bet
ter manners than to crowd themselves
thus into civilized society.
CHEROKEE AFFAIRS.
On the 26th day of May last, Gen. Scott is
sued his orders to commence the operation of
gathering the Indians within the Stale of Geor
gia. In compliance with this order, the com-
panics stationed in the dilferent sections of the
country, forth with commenced operations, and
within a very few days all the Cherokees with
in the limits of our Slate, was safely housed in
forts, or under the control of the troops. On
Monday of last week, there was upwards of six
thousand at Ross’ Landing, waiting for a con-
veyance to Arkansas. On Tuesday or Wed
nesday following, some four thousand left on
board of Flat-bottom Boats and otherwise, for
some point below Gunter’s handing on the Ten-
nessee River, where it was expected they would
be met by, and embarked on board of Stcam-
Boats, for their new homes in the West. As
far as we have been able to ascertain, not a
Cherokee now remains within the limits of our
State. What has been done in North Carolina,
we are unable to say, having received nothing
from that quarter for some time past, in relation
to the removal ofthe Cherokees. Borders have
been given the troops to commence operations,
we are not apprised of the fact. The Athens,
Tennessee, Courier, of June 8:h, says: “We un
derstand that but little dilHculty is experienced
in collecting the Cherokees. They are dispos
ed to come in quietly and as fast as they can be
trai sported to the west. So far as we are in
formed, every tiling is going on, even more har-
moniously and expeditiously than had been ex
pected ”
In Georgia, the Indians have been treated
with great humanity and kindness by the troops,
and appear happy and content in the enjoyment
of the benefits and advantages secured to them
and their people, under the provisions of the
treaty, since they have come to comprehend,
or view it in its proper light. — Western Geor
gian, 19Ih ult.
Tlte “Great Western” brought $225,000 in
specie. This must have been gall and worm
wood to those who are endeavoring to run the
rates of exchange with the hopes of producing a
reshipment of specie to Europe.
Arrival of the Sirius.—The Steam packet Si
rius arrived at New York on Monday night, from
London and Cork, having left the latter port on
the 31st ult. She has had a pleasant and pros-
perous passage, but has experienced head winds
for a large portion of the time. The Sirius
is commanded by Capt. S. S. Mowle, and the
passengers exp-css the highest satisfaction with
the vessel, and with her commanders and ofii.
A machine has been invented, and pa
tented both in Europe and America, for
removing stains from cotton which promi
ses to be of immense advantage to the
Southern Stales, the patentee proposes
to put one of the machines in operation
in New Orleans, which if successful, is
to he purchased by a joint stock company
with a capital ol $100,000. It is calcu
lated that 35,000 pounds of cotton can be
cleansed at an expense of $300, the in
crease in the value of which at three cents
per pound, would be $1,050, thus afford
ing a very handsome profit.—Balt. Amer.
Lieut. Randolph.—The New York Eve
ning Post says that Lieut. Randolph, the
individual who assaulted Gen. Jackson a
few years ago on board a steamboat, lias
surrendered himself to the Deputy Mar
shal at Alexandria, and given bail in $500.
The trial will come on in October, and it
is said the ex-president will be summoned
as a witness.

The Army and Navy Chronicle, in no
ticing the appointment of Mr. Paulding,

the situation of Secretary of the Board of

in 1S15 to the )'ear 1823, when he was
appointed Navy Agent for the port of New
York, which office he has held until the
present time.
The. way to feel rich, or rather to be jo.—Ne
ver want any thing but what you must have,
and never buy any thing but what you want.
Owe no man any thing, but be content to have
a little of something in your pocket—or, as
Franklin would say, always be prepared for a
rainy day. The man who has but little, and
is contented with that is richer than he who has
abundance yet wants more. The rich fear po
verty more than the poor. Riches do not make
rich.

horsemen of that region. We observe
the military officers in high rank in Rus
sia who meet, with defeat, generally come
to a violent death so«n after. Poison is
the remedy, and the Autocrat himself has
sometimes to take it.
GREAT BRITAIN AND THE U. STATES.
Extract of a speech delivered in the British
House of Commons on the 6th of March lust
by Lord Stanley.
“But I will allude to one other point, because
it regrrds a piece of singularly good fortune on
the part of her Majesty’s Government; and be-
cause I am happy io have this opportunity of
paying a tribute, which I am sure no man in
tins cauntry will withhold, of admiration and
acknowledgement of the candid, houorabte, and
handsome manner in which the cent ini Govern
ment of the United States have maintained faith
with this country. Placed, as they were, in the
midst of a population over whom their laws
gave them very little control, and placed as Ca
nada was, by the side of a Government, which,
if any unauthorized intervention of Republican
troops had taken place, would have been the
last to have complained of it—the feelings of
the American people on the whole of the borders
of the two countries being excited—the national
Democratic feelings of the United States pope,
lation being inflamed in favor of the rebels in
Canada—irritated by temporary, aud perhaps
unavoidable acts of frontier aggression—still
the Government of the United States, in the
most manly and most honorable manner, have
abided by the faith of treaties; and perhaps at
the risk of losing their own popularity as a Re
public, have enforced, carefully; the mainten
ance of a strict neutrality. But if the Govern
ment of the United States had taken a different
course, if it had so happened that, in availing
themselves of those pretexts which the border
States were too ready to lay hold of—if, avail
ing themselves of the proper power of passing
troops across the frontier Territory, between
the Slate of Maine and Canada, they had sought
to seize that opportunity, upon their own terms,
and at their own seasons, to settle the long dis
puted question of the boundary by force, where
would have been the hopes of successful resist
ance, founded upon the prudence or foresight
displayed hy the Government of this country,
in keeping down the wretched insurrection
which has disturbed the tranquility of that colo.
ny?”
EXPRESS MAIL.
It is remarkable with what pertinacity the
federal newspapers of the Northern Atlantic
cities denounce the express mail. The New
York Journal of Commerce compliments Mr.
Kendall as a most able and efficient officer, and
says the only thing wanting to render his admin
istration of the Post Office Department perfect
and complete is the abolition of the express mail.
Now, when these editor’s so well know Mr. Ken
dall’s character, it is a little surprising that they
should thus be constantly exhibiting their cloven
foot.
Perhaps most of our readers do not understand
the object of attacking the express mail. We
will inform them. When the ordinary mail a-
lone was in operation, these editors had an ex
tensive subscription in the Soutli and Southwest,
because the earliest intelligence from the North
and East could only be obtained through their
papers. Since the express mail has been in
operation, it brings slips containing the current
news to the Southern and Southwestern country,
several days in advance of the ordinary mail,
and this news is then transferred to our own pa
pers, and disemminated through our own section
of country. The necessity of taking this north
ern commercial papers is thus obviated and their
subscription lists have accordingly fallen off.—
Our citizens receive earlier intelligence than
they did formerly, and they support their news
papers at home, instead of those abroad. It is
quite natural therefore, that the northern papers,
should be opposed to Mr. Kendall’s great im
provement.—Mississippi Intel.
It is said, liy speculations in western
lands, Daniel Webster lias cleared four
hundred thousand dollars! Save Mr. Web
ster, who is better off for this grand spec
ulation? Is the laborer or cultivator of
the soil, who is forced'to give Mr. Web
ster a sum over and above the Government
price, that he clear $400,000? Would it
not have been quite as well for those who
beat the bush—who bear the burden in
the heat of the day, to have had these
hinds at Government price? To prevent
the public domain falling into the hands
of speculators was the specie circular is
sued; and because the specie circular gave
not the drones in society pre-eminence
over labor, was the war against it waged.

The bell rings for fire. Every one starts

because he knows the chances are so
widely scattered. Anon a hearse with its
long funeral train goes by. No one thinks
it will be his turn next, because he never

as great a fuss about it as if it was some
thing new, and he had not had warning

[communicated.]
Gentlemen—In these times of turmoil
and excitement on the subject of the cur
rency, Independent Treasury, National
Bank, resumption of Specie payments,
&c. &c., permit one of your subscribers to
occupy a small space in your columns, on
the subject of Female Education. That
the education of females in our State, and
perhaps in the South generall\ T , has been
too much neglected, 1 presume but few
will deny; and to enable the sex to dis
charge the high responsibilities and vari
ous duties which devolve on them as
social companions, daughters, wives or
mothers—that the mind should be proper
ly cultivated and trained—that she should
have an education, all will admit. The
public mind for some time has been in
some good degree directed to this subject,
and various institutions of high character
have been gotten up, for the purpose of
affording facility for the education of our
daughters. The friends of female educa
tion are still looking forward, in fond an
ticipation of seeing not only those Semi
naries, which have been established,
nourished and supported liberally until
they have come up to their lull stature in
usefulness; but, that other Schools or Sem
inaries wiil be established and fostered in
various parts of the State, until every sec
tion of it will have the means within its
reach of giving daughters such an educa
tion as their sex and condition require, to
develope all the native energies of the
mind, and to enable them, with properly
cultivated minds and morals, to wield their
magic influence in correcting the vices and
folly of the day. That the destiny, for
good or lor evil, of all civilized countries
depends much upon female influence, i# a
fact that will not be controverted; then
how important for the well being of fam
ilies, neighborhoods and nations, and par
ticularly of the United States, that the fe
male mind should be well cultivated, and
properly trained and imbued with useful
knowledge, and virtuous "principles, that
our destiny may be onward until we as a
people reach the high elevation, for which
we were created, and for which, our free
and happy institutions, properly fostered
and administered, are so eminently fitted.
My mind has been more immediately
called to this subject by attending the ex
amination of the pupils in the Female
School at Eatonton, on the 14lh and 15th
inst., of which institution and examination
I propose to say a few words. The classes
from the highest to the lowest, acquitted
themselves with great credit. The exer
cises and examinations were arduous and
thoroughjinterspersed with experiments in
Chemistry, and explanations of the sci
ence of Astronomy and Music, by the
young ladies of the School. The pieces
of music performed on that occasion, some
of which were by girls from 8 to 12 years
old, were very interesting, but when the
Piano was touched by the larger pupils,
or by Miss Downing, who has charged of
that department, accompanied with her
voice, which lor melody and perfection of
its tone is rarely equalled and never sur-
pased, the audience which was large, in
telligent and highly respectable, could not
be restrained from manifesting their appro
bation, bv public plaudits. The exercises
closed with a public Lyceum, composed
of a portion ofthe pupils attached to the
School, on the evening of the 15th, when
a number of interesting addresses were
read, by the Miss President, and other
members of the Lyceum, and the follow
ing querydiscussed: “Which are to be pre
ferred, public or private schools ?”
In this discussion the debators acquitted
themselves with great credit, so that at the
close ofeach address some gave their plau
dits publicly, while in groups around where
I sat, there was a unanimous concurrence
b\'the low but expressive whisper of ap
probation, in the ingenuousness and abil
ity of the debate.
The Eatonton Female School is under
l he superintendance of Major James W.
Armstrong as proprietor, and his accom
plished lady, assisted by Mrs. Cobb, each
>f whose qualifications to impart instruc
tion is unquestioned, by those who have
had an opportunity to form an opinion
Vom observation. In discipline, the pro
prietor is pre-eminently qualified. The
minds of the pupils are constantly im
pressed as to the objects for which they
arc placed at school; not to cultivate no-
tionsofpride, extravagance and indolence,
but for the purpose of improving their
minds and acquiring useful knowledge
which will be serviceable in after life, and
also with the importance of a high stand
ard of truth, prudence and virtue, with all
their moral appendages. Mrs. Taylor,
formerly of Macon, gives lessons in wax
and ornamental painting, in which the
pupils for the short time they were enga
ged had made rapid progress. The de
partment of music, as before remarked,
is under the superintendance of an accom
plished and highly qualified instructress,
(Mi ss Louisa T. Downing, formerly of
Hartford, Connecticut.) I feel it a (luty
to remark that this department of the
school, combining in a rare degree a per
fect acquaintancein theory, with the prac
tice of this science, offers the very highest
advantages to such parents as may desire
the instruction of their daughters in this
branch of ornamental education.
It is not unusual, to find those who are
able by precept to impart instruction in the,
science, but it is quite so, to find those
who are capable of imparting it by example.
In tin’s respect, the school possesses the
highest advantages. In every regard the
school at Eatonton, is highly creditable,
useful and desirable.
The Academy building is capacious and
airy, situated in one of the most pleasant
and handsome natural groves in the up
country. The school is furnished with
expensive Geographical, Astronomical and
Chemical apparatus, and musical instru
ments, for the use and improvement of
the pupils. One of the peculiar charac
teristics of this school (and which may be
said of some others of the kind) is that the
proprietor has no stated salary; is not sub
jected to the whims and caprices of a
board of trustees, for the management of
the school; but has to rely upon his energy
and prudence, and the advancement of
those committed to his care, for success
and pecuniary compensation. The op
portunities of religious instruction are not
surpassed, if equaled,by any village in the
State; there being several ministers of dif
ferent denominattoirs who reside m ths
village. There is a large Sabbath school
upon the union plan, in successful opera
tion, and what may be said with great
truth, and credit to the different denomi
nations in Eatonton, they are on the most
friendly terms with each other, worship
ping and uniting together, without jeal
ousy, in every “good word and work.” I
feel a pride and confidence in recommend
ing the Eatonton Female School to the
public patronage.
A VISITOR.

A DARING ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.
The Savannah Georgian of the 26th ult. says:
“The Banking House ol the Bank of the State of
Georgia, was entered between the closing ot bu
siness on Saturday and Monday morning, sup
posed to be during Sunday. The outer door of
the vault was forced open—nearly all the draw-
ers of the Officers’ desks opened and searched
—tlie inner iron door presented the obstacle to
the villain’s entering the Vault, and the Bank
has sus a'ned no loss, not a dollar having been
stolen, as they were unable to obluin access to
the money. The following paper was left on
the table of the President directly in front of his
chair, written in a plain hold hand.
“That iron door made a complete April Fool
of us.” And on the reverse of the sheet, the
following, “It is hard to kick against the pricks
—Bad Luck.”
The citizens should be upon the alert—there
are no doubt, incendiaries among us, who fail
ing to obtain money, may resort to other
means.
All vagrants should be arrested and examin
ed.” —
Outrage on Tex ts Indians.—We learn from
a petition or memorial in the Texas Chronicle
of May 12th, addressed to President Houston,
from the Red River county, under date of April
29th, that Col. Robert Potter, late of North
Carolinian notoriety, has wantonly involved the
frontier inhabitants in danger. On a vague
suspicion that the Coworscslmdda Indians had
stolen his horses, he arrested a party of them and
trieil them; they escaped and he followed them
with an armed body, fired upon them, killing
three and having two of his men killed. He
carried off with him all the Indian women and
children he could lay hands upon.
The inhabitants have implored the Indians
not to wreak their revenge upon the settlers
until President Houston has had time to inter
fere.—they state that Power’s horses have not
been stolen at all, but rnay be found on his pas
ture range.—Miss. Free Trader, 14th ult.

TOWN LOTS FOR SALE
On the first Tuesday in August next.
F ROM the recent discovery of the Mineral r.nd Lime
stone Waters, and from the solicitation ol several
gentlemen of the first respectability, the subscriber lies
thought proper to lay off a number of I.OT.3, each con
taining ONE ACRE immediately joining the village of
CaRnesville. This village contains advantages not lobe
surpassed. There is a Mineral Spring possessing the same
properties of the Madison and Franklin Springs, and
thought to be equally strong. Judge Whiten and Mrs
Catharine Terrel has wells also of Limestone water, thought
to be pure and strong. From these springs and the salu
brious air that we receive from the top of the Currahee
Mountain, which is in plain view of the lots offered for
sale, we may say it is the seat of health. There is a very
flourishing Male and Female Aesdeniy, supplied with as
good Teachers as there is in the State. There are several
young rnen preparing for professional pursuits, and bids
fair to be the first men in our country. The advantages of
a school of this kind, away frera large cities, being far from
the bad influences of mixing multitudes, such as the idle,
intemperate, profane, extravagant, &c. Those who wish
to he benefitted hy these schools, in the surroundiug and
low country—and those who are desirous of procuring a
residence w hich promises health, profit, pleasure, Sic. will
do well to attend the sales and secure lots while they may
be bought on reasonable terras. One half of the purchase
money will be required on tho 25th day of December next,
the balance twelve months thereafter.
