v THE MACON GEORGIA TELEGRAPH. S3M3 OF THE AMERICAN PRIVATEERSMAN. nr WILLIAM CUIDDDIX. Djr:ng the war of the Revolution, the Americans were enable.! to equip but a few national vessel.; but the patri otistn of citizens, by sending forth great numbers of armed privateers, in a measure, supplied the deficiency. They ■were manned chiefly by youngincn,ardenitu thair'country's eause, and fearless of the enemy. Abore our heads, we view unfurled. The ensign of the free. And we will leave our land to gain Wild laurels on the sea. BydariDg hearts the bark is manned. We fear no tyrant's chain. But boldly meet our country's foes, Upon the boundless main. For Freedom calls the brave to arms, And who's the coward hand That dare not wield the sword to save If is struggling father-laud 7 We heard amid our peaceful rales, The haughty Briton's boast. That we were slaves and born to yield To their triumphant host; But Liberty baa found a borne Upon our lofty hills, And with her august presence Each manly bosom thrills, And whispers from her eagle-nest, On every wandering gale, That Freedom's self will aid our cause, And strike the foeman pale. Our kinsmen armed for deadly strife, Engage upon the plain; While we the starry ensign raise, Tn rf>n.juer m «lic main* The Ood of battle be with them, His mighty arm will guide; His wisdon teach the weak to smite The smiter in hit pride. Then give that banner to the breere. Its folds shall rule the sea; In triumph waving o’er the world. The enaigo of the free. And tell us not our little band That ensign raise in vain, To aid our struggling father-land, And break oppression’s chain; That countless Britons boldly come To make us bow the knee; And mighty fleets in triumph bear Their flag on every sea. We know how fierce the atrife will be Upon the ocean wave; Yet we will sail, for death can strike Ho terror to the brave.

It was the coldest night of the uncommon cold winter of’35—and ra-m orable 16th of December. A fi e had broke oat in the evening, in ono of the principal streets of the business part of the great commercial metropolis. It raged violently, and at early morning on the succeeding day, a great poition of Ihe city lay in ashes. The rich merchant—as was his want alighted from his carriage at ihe head of Wnfl street and saw the ruins. He hastened to the scene. Where was his store, his goods, his nil? The smouldering ruins before him answered ! But he was insure d. He should save some thing at least. His policies were looked after during the day—they had expired a week pre viously. Th i millionaire was comparatively a beggar? I He had a stout heart, though, that‘rich poor man’—and well he braved the storm. He found however that it would be necessary to brea' up his 'establishment* at home, to meet some im mediate pressing liabilities. His furniture was sacrificed; bis mansion was disposed of—his sph ndid horses and carriages were put into other hand-; and even ’Jessie,’ Cuarlotte’s cad black favorite, was doomed to pass from them,'under the hammer.’ But could not some friend be found who would purchase ‘Jessi’’,* and retain her until the fjry of the blast passed ? No. Every body was |»oor, every body bad been ruined by the ‘great fire’—and no body had money. Besides, it was expensive keeping | horses. ‘Poor Jessie,’ sighed her mistress—‘I hope she may fall into good hands.’ But no body wanted 'Jessie'—and she was thrown away upon u stranger. Who did you say was the purchaser?’ In- quirtd Charlotte of her father. ‘A Mr. Manly, I th.iik.’ said the fither. And who was Mr. Manly? He was the poor strawberry boy. ded. IfCharo:te had not loved before, she nuwlookel upon the handsome and generous ^ranger with aught but displeasure. But scarce ly, she had entertained a feeling certainly *«kin to affection’ forh.m whom she remembered for seven long years; who had crossed her path so strangely; who had purchased the very cottage front which she had expected to be driven—but the sequel was soo • told. Charlotte loved, and shortly after gave her hand to .Manly. They remained in the Cottage, which was newly fiuriiished; and many times d;d she mount tier favorite Jess e, and at the side of her fond and devoted husband, roam through the romantic scenes which abound on the fir famed bland.

There tire ks chief geogra phical advantages. It has ii Court house— some stores—not many; a blacksmith’s shop, a grogery, and smart^sprinkling of May weeds besides. Now, if you were rambling about in the woods and chanced to stumble upon such a place, you might s ty in your heart, that you had fiutiJ nothing particular, and ramble on farther perhaps. But if you were not over hasty, and drop in about sun down, you would find the snuggest, comfortablest, kind of a tav ern, with china trees before the piazza, and a good jolly fellow who n juices in his bean at a joke for its keeper. From him we heard a few days since, while there, the following anecdote, which is given with every thing but his liumcrous manner. But if we could give that, reader, your waist coat strings would have a fair trial before you I afF*ction ot'lrs county friend, and he declar e! you know’ll Joe, used to live on Beaverdan).

When he was married,the kin objected, and wlu n he went to make Ids outcry, it was about this time of day, a: d he had to cry spaog til! breakfast before he could worry them out. ‘ And did he worry ’em out last?’ said Cop peras. in some anxiety. 4 Worry them out.’ 1 reckon be di ?, and told them to bring in nnv frun I they had, and lie could outcry the whole kit and bdin of ’em. and if that didn’t satisfy them, make them f.-t-l the point of his knuckles besides. But in your case, you have tn hollow unt a good dca 1 what you are after, and afterwards cry sonic, a little will do.' Copperas’ metal was now fai>ly lip. and lie sprang with the utmost ala-rity upon the Court house steps, and bellowed out at the top of his voice: * I am come after a license / / /’ Every body rushed out, and there he stood roaring away. * I’m come after a license !!!’ ‘ There,’ said Bob, the hollowing part will do,’ and Coppr-ras turned down his nether lip a id began an inaudible boo boo ! * Louder,’ said Bob, and he raised it high er. ‘Lender yet. The law says you must cry out. or make out cry. which is the same thing.’ He bellowed like an Alligator. In the mean time, the crowd collected. ‘ What’s the ma'ter, Bob ! what’s he oficr. Bob?’ came from all sides, while lie stood gravely giving directions to Copperas, and s'nging out, * don’t crowd him, gentlemen, lie’s going according to law.’ A' length, every body was convulsed at the doleful coui.tena-.ce * f Copperas, he suddenly turned upon him, and said, tliat’l do, no body objects, you can get your license. A new al tercation between the Clerk and Copperas, j be e ough. however arose, upon the fee which B >b intima ted was too much. This wa»soon settled by Bob’s paying it himself, a id treating him to two gingercakes, which so won the confidence and from the NatkviUe.\Tenn ) Agriculturalist. Aeruanlem Artichoke—'{Heleanthu* Tulerosus.) From the fact, that many, enquiries have been made of late in rela io > to this Very re markable and useful plant, I am disposed to speak a few things of its culture and uses. Tne Jerusalem Artichokpis a native of the war- men parts of America, and of course was un known in Europe, tii! alter the discoveries in tnis country by Columbus and his coadjutors. Since that time it has been cultivated l > consi derable extent on the continent as’well as in Great Britain, but the reports of its profits have Considerably varied, in tbat.as well as thiscoun- trv. In the old wotld so tie have cultivated it to afford sbaJe to the game; others lu.va con verted tho stocks and leaves into fodder lor cattle, and .There again, have encouraged its growth for the tubers alone. In this country mere are two important objects to be kept iu mind in rai-ing Artichokes; 1st. i'he improve ment of land; 2-lly. The use of the tubers. How ever, the first matter is the cultivation, and 1 b gin with 1. Son,. Almost any kind of land w : II pro duce Artichokes, mid it is remarkable, that they w II grow in the shade, that is under trees, or in fence comers very well indeed. Land how ever, with a tolerably good snudv mould will give the must abundant crop.—Low, wet soils, and very tenacious clay are not so suitable. 2. Preparation of land. The ground should be broken as for corn, that is to say, one good, deep ploughing, and a thorough barrow ing will answer the purpose admirably. 3. Laying out. Rows laid off four feet each way with a bull’s tongue or shovel pfough, in most soils, will be the proper distance. 4. Quantity of Seed. From four to fiv< bushels will he required to the acre, and unless the long roots ure broken to pieces of three or four joints, or eyes each, this quantity will not will pay him in hides andsboem. l ,m S their ch i ,-en they call 'Vkl rod they use is a cowhide. >r! n, ’ , £’Wj swear ‘by hides a,d leather;' a *J U * V gam-swirch they call ‘huh a’,, and ‘heel and toe.’ A child lap stone, and tho ages of children 1 bf: J by tli • number of the shoes 8re * .J got through.

On a fine morning in the summer of '22, a handsome but p -orly dressed boy called at the door of a rich mansion in L o square in New York ci.y, and offered a basket of strawberries for sale. Having disposed of the fruit, he wns about to depart, when nis attention was arrested bv the appearance of u beautiful girl, some twelve years old, who crossed lli>" hall, near the door She was the only daughter of the gentleman of the house; and though he rigid economy and fresh application to Irismer- g.izcd on her but a sibgle moment, the kind look J cantile affairs, would retrieve his rapidly sin- king fortune. But his star wns descending, and his more lucky brethren fo' got that he had been 'one of tin m.’ Unfortunately lieliad nosccurity toof- fer; and the cottage was sold. It was u bright day in Autumn, the purclia- ■ion to that beautiful Cottage, with about I alt an acre of land ndjoning, laid out in a garden, well stocked with fruit trees and shrubbery, sit- ■lated on the South side of St iten Island' and mortgaged toJohn Jacob A r, for the sum often th'Ui-;and three hundred dollars—etc. etc. Sale positive—title iudispnt ,b.’e—possession given immediately; terms cash.’ The rich m »n that was—<n va’n appealed to his sunslii e friends for aid. They must have security; the times were hard; they ha l lost a debt of money; |>cople sometimes lived ton fist, it wasn’t tiieir fault; very sorry but couldn’t help him. From bad to worse he had succeeded ; and now reduced to the last extremity, he had reti red to his beautiful retreat with the hope tha which site bestowed on him struck n chord in hi-* heart, which until that moment had ucver vibrated. ‘She is very lovely,’—he exclaimed, mental, ly—.‘but she is the daughter of the great million aire—she can be nothing to mu.’ He returned to the field, in search of more fruit, but the remembrance of that sunny face attended him closely in his rumbles. *1 am young’—he continued to himself— 'would I could make my-elf worthy of her! But then she is far above me—and this thought though it did not banish the feeling—hushed it. A week had passed—and the little straw berry boy again stood, with a palpitating heart at the rich man’s door, his fruit was purchased as bef ire, and ho received his money from the white hand of the fair being, whom, from the moment he saw her, he dared to love! Sho spoke kindly to him and bade him come again. He did not forget the order. He called a- gain and again—but the season was advancing and the fruit had becomo a scarcity! 'I shall not be able to bring you any more,’ he said one morning, *1 am sorry, for it was a pleasure to call here. But we may meet here after.' The young heart which fluttered in the bo som of that lovely girl was touched at the mu sical, though somewhat melancholy tone in which this was uttered, and she timidly replied that she would remember him. *\Vo shall meet again, Miss, when—I pro mise you—shall not be ashamed to acknow ledge the poor strawberry boy.’ She thought the language singular, but they parted. one that came along would be a c w or a man in a ro i.nd jacket, and perfect raw for a jok".

Got bu-iness, I sp -se?’ Three years had elapsed. The tide ofspe- culation which was then swelling in our country bad not yet reached ’tho flood’—and the man of wealth with his beautiful daughter, rolled in his splendid carriage along Broadway, upon a fine Sabbath morning, on the way to Trinity Church; Charlotte was ‘just turned to sixteen’ and the bright bud was changing to the open rose; she was fair, indeed ! The service had ended—the magnificent carriagestoo l at the Church door—tho elegant caparisoned horses pawed (heground uneasi ly—the liveried footman held tho door and the wealthy merchant handed his lovely daughter into the coach, amid the low obeisance of her gav admirers. \Vhy does she not observe the homage of her thousand butterfly admirers? A young p'a’iilv dressed stra igerstands q u- etly at the side of tho church door—and licr gaec, for an instant, is rivett-d on h's features. ‘Who cun it?’ Site remember*—no she can. not remember.

His last borne had been taken from him, tin* fair girl was motherless. Tne heart of the fond fat her niisgave Ii in when he receiv'd informa tion that the premises must he immediately va cated. The daughter wept in silence upon the bosom of her affectionate and unhappy paren'. He had keen a proud man, but bis pride was now bumble, and calmly be tesigned himself o the stroke of affliction. He. too, wept. O! it was fearful to see the strong man weep! But bis troubles were more nearly at an end. The day following that upon which the sale occurred, had well nigh sped. The afternoon was brig t and balmy, and the father sat with his daughter, in the recess of one of the win dows which looked out upon the road. Hu had received a note from the purchaser of the cot tage, inform ng him that he shou'd call upon li ra in the afternoon fur tin: purpose of exnini ningthe premises more fully than he had an op- I portur.ity of dot g. They await his'Visit. A stranger ou horseback h tiled suddenly in front of the court yard gate, and turning tlie head of his black steed, ho quietly ambled to the door. ‘O, father,’ shouted Charloite, forgetting fo» the moment her sorrows, ‘ look! lien; is my dar ling little Jessie,nnd’—, akuockat the door called her at once to the recollection. Tne door was opened by the once princely proprietor in L -c square. Before him stood a courteous looking y* ung man, who in quired for Mr. S. •That is my name sir; and 1 have the honor of addressing. — •Mr. Manly, sir—now the owner of this cot- tnge. I have just received the deed from the hands of my attorney, and with your permission shall bo-glad to examine the esiate.’ ‘Walk in sir; you are master here and 1 shall vacate as soon as your pleasure requires it. My daughter sir,’ he continued, »s the stranger en tered tho parlor,—-This is Mr. Manly, Charlot te. The purchaser of our little cottage.’ ‘Tho person whom you once knew only as the‘poor strawberry boy,’as he took ber ex tended hand. ‘My dear sir,* said Manly, addressing tbo fa ther, ‘I am tlm owner of this c< ttoge.

Form e bus I been no niggard to me, sir; my endeavors have | been crowned with success, and I came here to ‘No! nothing much io pa ticular,’ said Cop peras w ith a very mysterious air. ‘ M < II,’ said Boh, bv w.iy of finding oat his errand, ‘he won’t be in for sonic time, may be I could do your business?* An«l thereupon Copperas fell to wriggling and screwing about, looking very n easy. At last he started up suddenly, putting his fa e close to jhc tavern keeper’s, und said in a half whisper: * I’ve enrne on this marrying business,’ and then laugh's! a good deal at it, for ha was a very cheeiful fellow. ‘ Who is to be married ?’ enquired Bob, in a whisper. ‘IJnele Ben and Tilda Strong!’ •License eh? Oa ! ah! Well—that’s differ ent. The Clerk wiil have to grant that; I’ll <tep over and see if lie’s come,’ and away he ran. ‘ Thomas,’ said he as he spied that worthy, at his writing table, ’there’s a chap at my iiouse who wants it license, but I can’t make him understand any thing 1 say to him.’ * Why, what’s tne inaiter,’ asked Thomas. ‘So deaf, a in lestone is only a circumstance to him. But I’ll bring him over, it isn’t worth white for me tell trim any thing, and he hurried off. O t their way to the office, Rob, in n spirit of friendly confidence, informed Mr. Copperas, ■ hat the Clerk was a crank, cross-grained old a llow, but he niusu’t mind bis talking loud, its just his way. Copperas had hardly entered the door be fore he bawled out, ‘ I’m c<>me after a license for undo Ben Stnno and Tilda Strong.’ 4 Well,’ said Thomas in the same tone, ‘von need’nt hollow out so ’ Then turning to Bub in bin usual tone, ‘that’s just tho way wi’hdeaf people, they think every body as deaf us tliein- selvt s.’ Bob nodded to Copperas, to intimate that lie didn’t hear, a d lie screamed still louder. * I say J/r, I leant to get a license /’ * D-» you think I’m drofasa pus' ? You’d better nuke a public outcry of it at the Court house door young man,’ said Tlmm.is, some what irrita’ed.
