In offering his services to the public as an instructor to the female youth of Geor gia, he would remark that several years uf his life have already been devoted, wilhsurcess, to the important duties of Female Education; and although the details of the sys tem which formerly enabled him to earry, toa highly desir able extent,both the moral and intellectual improvement of his pupils, cannot be enlarged on here, yet he feels confi dent of suceess in rendering those entrusted to his care not only useful and virtuous members of sneietjr, but its must accomplished ornaments.

THE HOPEFUL HEIR. “Every thing is arranged for jour wedding with Susan Tompkins,” said a father to his only son the other day, “I hope you’ll behave your. m, Thomas." The individual ad- self like a man, dressed was a young mail seated in a chair, des patching a huge piece of bread covered with thick molasses; his only answer was a s'gh, ac companied by a flood of tears. Tt.e parentstar- ted, nnd, in a angry voice, demanded, “what ob. jections can vou have? Susan is handsome and wealthy, and married you must be, some time or another. Your mother and I were married, and it is my command lhat you prepare for your nuptials.”—“Yes,” finally sobbed Thomas, “that’s a different case: you married mother; but I—I’m to be sent out to marry a strange gal?” A long standing Milk Score.—It is stated in a Paris paper, that a man forty-four years of age, in prison there, is detained for the milk which he drew from his foster mother’s breast. When he was weaned, in 1795,his father owed the nurse 300 francs, which sum was never paid; and when the son came of age, he took the debt upen himself, giving a note of hand for the amount, payable in two years, wish in terest. At the time the note became due he was unable to take it up, and it was renewed, with the addition of stamps, interest and charg. es. This process has been continued till the present time, when the accumulated debt a- mounts to no less than 5,700f., besides l,213f. for costs. NOTICE.

M- and 4 o’clock P. M. WM. Y HANSELL, Mayor. Milledgeville, November 17,1838. 22-R The following is the most graphic delienea- tion of the miseries and effects of intemperance that we have ever seen. It is from the argu. ments advanced by certain citizens of Portage county, Ohio, in a memorial to the Legislature on the subject. And yet its march of ruin is onward still!— It reaches abroad to others—invades lhe fanr.i. ly and social circles—and spreads woe and sor- row all around. It cuts down youth in its vigor —manhood in its strength—and age in its weak ness. It breaks the father’s heart—breaves the douling mother—extinguishes natural affection —erases conjugal love—blots out filial attach. men t—blights parental hope—and brings down mourning age in sorrow lo the grave. It pro- duces weakness, not strength; sickness, not health; death, not life. It makes wives windows —children orphans—fathers fiends—and all of them paupers and beggars. It hails fevers— feeds rheumatisms—nurses gout—welcomes ep idemics—invites cholera—imparls pestilence, and embraces consumptions. It covers the land with idleness, poverty, disease and crime. It fills your jails—your alms houses—and de mands your asylums. It engenders controver sies—fosters quarrels—and cherishes riots. It contemns law—spurns order—and loves mobs. It crowds your penitentiaries—and furnishes the victims for your scaffolds. It is the life-blood of the swindler—the aliment of the counterfeiter —the prop of the highwayman, and the support of the midnight incendiary. It countenances the liar—respects the thief— and esteems the blusphemer. It violates obli gation—reverences fraud—and honors infamy. It defames benevolence—hales love—scorns virtue—and slanders innocence. It incites the father to butcher his offspring—helps the hus band to massacre his wife—and aids the child to grind his parricidal axe. It burns up man consumes woman—detests life-curscs God—and despises Heaven. It suborns witness—nurses perjury—defiles the jury box—and stains the judicial ermine. It bribes votes corrupts elections—pollutes our in stitutions—and endangers our government. It degrades the citizen—-debases lhe legislator— hishonor the statesman—and disarms the pa triot. It brings shame, not honor; terror, not safety; despair not hope; misery, not happiness. And "now, as with the malevolence of a fiend, it calmly surveys its frightful desolations, and in satiate with havoc, it poison* felicity—kills Lxtraordinary sect of Fanaticts in India. The old German romances, relate of one of their heroes, that he fabricated a sword so tem pered that nothing could resist its edge. He tried •tone day upon a warrior clad in atmor which lie deemed sword proof. “Do you feel any llnug?" said lie after he had given the blow.— “I had a feeling as of cold iron in mv bowels,” was the answer. “Shake yourself'” said the owner of the sword. The warrior shook him self, and fell in pieces from his head downwards. This is an extraordinary story, hut not lo be compared witlt the following, which we fiud in a journal received hy the last arrival from Eu rope. Prom the Inited Service Journal. Ever since I have been in India I have heard of a class of Mussulmans, lhe disciples of a sect or saint, by the name Shaikh Ruffai, who, in or der to impress the unbelievets with the truth of the Mussulman faith, imparled to his followers the powerof plunging swords & daggers into their body, cutting off their tongue, frying it, and put ting it together again, cutting off the head and and limbs, sc< oping out the eye, and in truth, doing with their head and body whatsoever it pleased them to do; all of which Col. G ^ in company with a clergyman, a Mr. , had seen, when the latter grew sick, and ran out of the place, di-claring it was the power of Salan, which to this day he believes, and lhe Colonel, that it is done through the powerof the art of ma- gic, at which I of course laughed, and declared that so soon as a man of the regiment (by name Shaikh Kun eit, one of these Ruffai) should re- turn from furlough, I would witness the exhibi tion. A large tent was accordingly pitched, and fil ly lamps furnished, and plates full of arsenic, and quantities of a plant of the cactus tribe, fill- ed with a milky juice, a drop of which, if it fall on your skin, blisters it, and a vast quantity of the common glass bangles, or bracelets worn by the women, and daggers, and swords, and things like thick steel skewers, and other horrid look ing weapons like a butcher’s sleel, only with a large handle covered with chains, aud about twenty Ruffais to heat all manner of drums; and so, when all was ready, about five of the officers left the moss table witli myself, and along with us about a hundred sepoys crowded iuto the ter.t.— When we were seated, and silence obtained, the work commenced by a sort of chant from their sacred books, the drum beater joining in and keeping time; the chant increased at length both in noise and velocity, until having worked themselves into an ecsiacy, they seized hold of the instruments, the body kepi in a sort of swing, ing motion, some plunged lhe skewer instruments, one through each cheek, another through the tongue, a third through the throat, and then commenced s’abbing themselves with swords and daggers and all sorts of nasty instruments. Others cut off their tongues, and having roasted it in the fire: put it in their mouth again, when they immediately united: they eat the arsenic and the blistering milk-plant, whilst others munched the glass bangles as though they were the greatest delicacies. This was all done within half a yard of my knees, for they came up close to me with many lamps, in order that I might see there was no de ception; and I do assure you it made me feel sick, and produced any thing but an agreeable sensation on my mind, for this moment I know not what < lm*k of it. I an) not superstitious, and, although the colonel and many very res. pectable natives had dcclated to me that mey did actually do these things, and that, if a sense were to be in anv manner trusted; they had seen it all done, I would nevertheless, not believe it. I was told beforehand, that it required faith and purity on the part of the performer, and that then not a drop of blood would follow, but that otherwise n few drops of blood would sometime* follow the instrument, and the performer would receive some slight injury. On taking my departure from the tent, I hap- pened to say, that I should, at all events, think more honorably of their prowess if I saw them exhibited in the open face of day, and divested of noise, metion, paraphernalia, 6ic. On the fol lowing day, whilst reclining on my couch al a- bout two o'clock, reading an English newspa. per, without a servant or a soul near me, in rush ed their Kazee (priest or judge,) his hand full of instruments, which, throwing upon lhe ground, he seized one, plunged it through his tongue up wards, so that it stuck into hi* nose, nnnther through his throat; he then stabbed himself with a bright and sharp crease, which entered his bo dy about three inches, not a drop of blood fell; he was going to cut off his tongue, when I begg. ed of him to desist. I was, in truth, perfectly- nauseated at the sight. The man w as in a state of phrenzy, and really looked frightful, his face stuck full of in-truments, nnd cutting himself with all his might. I sang out for some ppople, and turned him out. I have now told you what I have spen, and yet I will not ask you to believe it, for I know no: myself what to think. There are many persons of very strong minds, in other respects, who firmlv believe, and do not hesitate to declare their belief, that, although driven out ofChristen. dom, demology, witchcraft, nec.omany, and the entire list of black and forbidden arts and powers, are abroad and in full existence in India. And I must declare, that I will never again trust my senses if I did not see all that I hnve told you. I examined the instruments—I saw them drawn out of the flesh, and no scar, or blood, or mark left; I also saw a man eat and swallow three oun- ces of arsenic, nnd crunch and swailow glass bangles innumerable, and yet, nlthough “seeing is believing,” I can scarcely sav that I believe what, before a court of justice, I would swear 1 had seen. Tlie fi.ll )* nj is an extract fo n :.n article on the Dignitv of the Law as a ptofesaion, in tho Christian Examiner for May: “The lawyer is a teacher whenever he rist* at the Imr, either ‘to convince the Court,’ *p«r. suadc the jury,’ or charm the listning crowd that are hanging upon his accents. Many a set men preached ol a week day, in the court houses, goes further, and remains longer wiih its hearers, than those which come on Sunday from the pnlpt. The lawyer teaches the wit. ness that comes before hiin; the twelve sworn men that watch eveiy moment and catch every word, and the client tlini trus;s in him, lennitr from him as ftom one wito should ‘vindicsle rights and redress wrong.’ By the wink ofhie eye at (he covert turn of* question, a vain jery- man or a wavering witness inay be led in net tliat which will fearfully effect his eternal well being. As the bar is more or le>s high minded, strict and pure, so will that great class of the community, which is ever so contact with it, he made able tgid pure, or shuffling and foul. In no wav, at ao spot, can a body of men acting profesionally, .xert more inoral influence, than through legal proceedings hi course of justice. Let the bar be corrupt, and the bench which is influenced by il, or comes directly from it. will be corrupt too, nnd let this take place, nnd that corruption of the people would allow it, will be increased by it ten fold. Agriculturalists, me. chanics, nnd even merchants, as such have no like power and therefore is the Lawyer pre. eminently a tcucher, and so clothed with a ditr. nity.” Benefits of Advertising.—The fojjowing cu rious coincident was presented in two letters re ceived at this office oil two successive days.— Richmond Enquirer. Goochland, September 4.—I thank you for your kind attention to my advertisement in the Enquirer. I yesterday received a letter from Mr. O., in Buckingham, informing me that he had apprehended my runaway, &c. Petersburg, Sept. 5.—I have recovered my horse, in consequence of the advertisement in your paper being read by a gentleman on James river, in Powhattan, where he had been rode by some negro. But for the advertisement, it is not in the least probable l should ever have heard of my horse again. From the Maysville (Ky.) Eagle. We can give a case showing the benefits of advertising, even stronger than either of the Enquirer. A gentleman in Mason county, some weeks since lost a very fine hors®, which he believed to have been stolen. He gave us an advertisement was published in this paper, the Louisville Journal, and the Cincinnati Gazette. About two weeks ago the advertiser received a letter from a gentleman in St. Louis, Missouri, staling, in substance, that, on the previous day he had picked up the Louisville Journal, and on casting his eyes over the advertiaemens, disco, vered'that the horse and thief were then upon his plantation—the thief mauling rails and the horse gazing in his pastures. The owner has probably before this, obtained possession of his horse, and the thief may be daiiy expected here to take his trial for horse stealing. A Sailor in Woman’s Clothes.—-But f warn’t safe yet: so I claps on a suit of Suke’s duds over mv gear, and being but littlo chap, with some slutching, and lotting out a reef or two here and there 1 got my sad al! smugly bam, and clanpgj i ca p with a thousand little frills around my face, and a straw hurricane house of a bonnet as big as a Giiinamun’s Caboose over all, with & large black wail hanging in the brails down afore, and my shoes scandaled up mv legs, so that i made a good looking wci.ch.' Well, 1 bid all hands good bye. Sake piped her eye a bil; But we had made our calcula tions o’ matrimony, and she was to join me at Portsmouth and we was to make a long splice of it off hand; but then, poor thing, she thought, inayhap I might be grab’d and punished. (Jp comes the coach—but the fellow won’dnt heave too directly, and ‘Yoho!’ says I giving.bun a hail,‘Going to Portsmouth, ma’am?, says he, throwing ail aback and coming a shore from his craft. ‘To be sure lain,’says I. ‘What made >ou carry on that fashion? Is that all the regard you have for the sex?’ says 1—‘Would, you like to go inside ma’am?’save lie opening the gangwny port. ‘Not a bit of it says 11 ‘stow away your damage slops belot*. but givir me a birth pon deck.’ Werry good, ma’am/ says he shutting the gangway port again: will you allow me assist you up?’—‘Not by no man ner o’mearis sa> s I *Whv, do you lake me for*, to think the captain of a frigate’s maintop enn’v find his way a iofi?’ ‘You mean the captaiir of lhe maintop’s a ife,’says Susan, paying me back the pinch I gave her. ‘Ay, my precious,’’ says I; ‘so 1 do to be sure.

Death of the Male Giraf’e.—The New Y«rk Era has the following notice of a aerious lomet** the interest nf natural history: "The beautiful m & Giraffe, recently arrived in this city fromt' A lexander, Egy pt died suddenly yesterday morn ing immediately afier feeding, without exhibiting; any previous illness. This is th6 only male Giraffe ever brought to this country, and its loss* perhaps, will not be replaced tor many years io> come. It was.tevetal feet taller than ihe •males; exhibited previously and enjoyed the greatest? a pa rent health up to the moment of its death.— It is supposed that poison has been administered! to the anmial, and several medical gentlemen' were yesterday engaged in analysing the con tents of its stomach. The result we have not learned. It is to be hoped, if sueh has been the- case, that the wretch who could have the base ness lo wantonly destroy such a noble crea ture, may be feretted out and brougiitto puns isbment. Test of good four.—Flour which wr pure anrfi unadulted, may be known by your seizing ai handful briskly, and squeezing it half a minutes it preserves the form ofthe hand in one piece, al though placed rudely on the table. Not so< with that which contains foreign substances; its adhesive property is weak, and it falls to pieces immadiately. The whiteness of flour is no eri- dence of its goodness; the different materials used 1 in adulterating flour, have a tendency to whiten. it. * I am alone: but what of it?—the benefit# oTar single life far surpasses the miseries of lojielinese. True, we bachelors have none to care for us, no one to attend fo our little comforts; and that: our near relations wish us uncomfortably dead’ and buried, when we have once signed a testa ment in their favor. But then we drink efarer —keep our horse—preserve our figure—a*wi come home as late as we please, without being rated by any woman on earth. All these are great blessings.
