isl or puri:\oixHav.
Aw nil hi iount an.l misgiving.
Now Lovers must woo by the book
There’s an end t j al! trick and deceiving,
No man can he caught by a look.
Bright eyes or a love-breeding dimple
No longer their witchery fling;
That lover indeed must he simple
Vt ho yields to so silly a thing.
No more need we flv the bright e-lances
Wh ere Cupid shot arrows of yore ;
To skulis let ns limit our fancies,
And Love by the humps we explore 1
Oh now we can tell in a minute
What fate will be ours when we wed ;
The heart has tin passion within it
That is not engraved on the head.
The first time I studied thn science
Wi;h Jane, and 1 cannot tell how,
’Twas not till the eve of alliance
I caught the first glimpse of her brow.
Causality finely expanding.
The largest 1 happened to see;
Sueh argument's far too commanding,
Thought 1, to be practised on me.
Then Nancy came next and each feature
As mild as an angel’s appears ;
I ventured the sweet little creature,
To lake a peep over her oars;
Destructiveness, terrible omen.
Most vilely developed did iic !
(Though pet haps it is common in women,
And hearts may he all they destroy.)
The organ of speech was in Fanny ;
I shuddered. —’twas terribly strong !
Then fled, for I’d ratlmr than any
Thau that to my wife should belong.
I nexltnrned mv fancy to .Mary—
. She swore, she loved nothing but me:
Ilow the look and the index could vary,
For nought hut self-love did 1 see.
Locality, slily betraying
In Helen a passion to roam,
Spoke such predilection for straying,
'['bought I—she’ll he never at home.
Oh ! some were so tow in the forehead,
1 never could settle my irtind ;
While others had all that was horrid
In terrible swellings behind.
At length ’twas my lot to discover
The finest of skulls 1 believe,
To please or to puzzle a lover,
That Spurzheim or Call could conceive.
’TVould take a whole ape to decypber
The bumps upon Kmiiy’s head ;
So I said, 1 will settle for life here,
And study them after we’re wed.

surance, winch to them may prove highly important.
Campbell , ex Rickards and others. —Mr. Pollock
stated the case for the plaintiff, the substance of which
it as follows—
In the year of 1827, the plaintiff, who was a merchant
at Sydney, New South Wales, consigned a quantity of
goods to London, by the ship Cumberland, to the care of
Mr. Emmett, who went passenger by her, and in the
event ol'any accident to that gentleman, to the care of
the defendants, who were merchants in Leadenhall
street. The plaintiff wrote by another ship, the Aus
tralia, to his friend .Mr. Harris, solicitor, requesting him
to hand that letter Vo the defendants, but not until 31)
days from its receipt were expired, in order that the de
fendants migli* insure ttie cargo for £4OOO, and the
freight for £7oo.—As the Cumberland did not arrive
within 30 days, Mr. Harris, at the expiration of 35 days,
handed the letter to the defendants, who x on the the fol
lowing day etl’i cted the insurance at the ordinary amount
ot risk. The Cumberland, <N her crew vV passengers
(Mr. Emmett arid ais two children,) have never since
been beard of, anti at the expiration of twelve months
the defendants applied on the behalf of the plaintiff, his
principal, to tiio underwriters for the amount of the pol
icies, when they it f ■ ,1 to pay, uiledging that the de
fendants had withheld from them, when the insurance
was clfected, what appeared to them material, viz. that
tho insurance was not made until 30,davs after the arri
val of th : letter of i,.. -(ruction, and declaring tnat the
risk inconsequence was greater than it had been repre
sented to them. The deft ndants brought an action in
this Court against the underwriters, hut failed, because
Use Jury were of opinion that the information which had
been withheld was material, aitd ought to have been
communicated.—The defendants applied for anew tri
al, and the jmlgt sdecidt and that the information was ma
terial and tne v< relict correct. The plaintiff then
brought the present action to recover £4700 from tne
defendants, on the ground that, through ignorance and
negligence, they, the defendants, had not effected prop
er insurance.
A gteat deal of evidence was brought to show that
the delay of 30 days should have been shown to the un
dent ritets. lor it made a inat< rial differ nee in the pre
mium of insurance, mas-much as it showed that for 30
days after the arrival of the letter, the plaintiff under
took the risk himself, and that the insuring it after the
time raised the presumption that the ship was out ol
time.'
Sir James Scarlet made a most pow erful defence. He
contended th. t there was no case of great negligence or
ignorance. That for a mere mistake the defendants
could not Ic liable and that it was clear that they had
asked bom fide, and with the best intentions.
I'he Lord Chief Justice, in summing up, said, that no
imputation whatever rested on the characters of the
oefendants, for they had no doubt done what thev con
ceived was the In st. The chief question for the jury,
was, whether the custom of the trade was so notorious
in making the communication adverted to, as to charge
the defendants with great ignorance in not knowing it,
an I acting upon it.
’1 he Jury lound a verdict for the plaintiffs £4,700
minus £soo, being the extra risk, at the rate of 13 per
cent, which the plaintiff would have had to pay if the
property had been properly insured.
'lhe Grarc —O the grate! It buries every error; cov
ers every defect; it extinguishes every resentment-
From its peaceful bosom springs none but fond regrets
and recollections; who can look down on the grate even
of an enemy, and not feel a compunctious throbthat ev
er lie could have warred with the poor handlul of eurtii
that lies mouldering bt fore him? Hut the grave of those
we love—what a place es on dilation! Then it is we
call up in long review, the whole history of virtue and
gen* Knew, and the thousand cudcarincnli lavished up
on us, almost unheeded in the daily intercourse ,A inti
macy—then it is we dwell upon the tenderness, the so
lemn and awful tenderness, of the parting scene; the
bed of death, with all the stifled grief; its noiseless at
tendants; its irmte watchful assiduities; the last testi
monies of expiring love, the feeble fluttering. Aye, go
to tbc grave of buried love and meditate!—There settle
the accounts with thy conscience of every past endear
ment, unregarded, of that departed being, who never,
never can return, to be soothed by contrition! if thou
art a child, and hast ever added a sorrow to the soul, or
a sigh to an affectionate parent —if thou art a husband,
and has ever caused the fond bosom that ventured its
whole happiness in tty arms to doubt one moment of
thy kindness or thy truth—jf thou aft a friend, and hast
ever wronged in thought, or word, or deed, the spirit
and generosity confided in thee—if thou art a lover, and
hast over given one unmerited pang to the true heart
that now lies cold and still beneath thy feet—then be
sure that every unkind look, every ungracious word,
every ungentle action, will come thronging hack upon
the memory, and knocking dolefully at thy soul—then
he sure that thou lie down sorrowing and repentant on
the grave, and utter the unheard groan, and pour the
unavailing tear—more bitter, because unheard and un
availing.— Washington Irving.
[From the N. Y. Evening Post.]
The follow ing announcement of the biography of one
of the illustrious patiiots of our revolution, appears in
the Boston Patriot, and is, we believe, from the pen of
an eminent scholar of New England, whose profound
researches into our national history give a value to every
thing he writes on the subject. We concur in the ex
pectations of the writer as to the accuracy and faithful
ness with which the work will be executed.
Memoir of Governor Livingston. —We understand
that a work is now in press in New-York, entitled uMe
moir of William Livingston, former Governor of New-
Jersey .” Whoever is conversant with the history of the
Revolution will anticipate with no small degree of pleas
ure the appearance of this work. Few names in that
drama of events are more worthy to be perpetuated with
honor, or have higher claims to the praise and gratitude
of posterity, than that of Governor Livingston. In time
of peril and despondency, when hostile armies overran
and ravaged the middle states, when tho hearts of the
people began to sipk within them, and the hopes of the
nation were verging to despair—in those times that tried
the patriot’s constancy and character, the Governor of
New Jersey fulfilled the duties of his station with a
promptness, an energy, a perseverance and adresa, that
roused the drooping spirits of his countrymen, and con
tributed on many occasions most essential services to
the public caus :. No man possessed in a hitter degree
tlie esteem and confidence of Washington, and on none
did he rely more entirely fur aid and support when dan
gers threatened, or exigencies demanded.
Governor Livingston was botn in Albany, 1722, an
early descendant of the family of that name which has
become conspicuous for its numbers, its wealth, and its
talents in the State of New-Y’ork. He was the brother
of Philip Liv ingston,onc of the signers of the Declara
tion of Independence; and also tho brother-in-law of
Lord Sterling, and the father of Brockholst Livingston,
for many years an able associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States. John Jay married one of
his daughters.—These and other family connections
combined with his personal merits to diffuse a knowl
edge of his character, and increase the weight of his in
fluence.
After graduation at Yale College, in 1741, lie appli
ed himself to the study of the law, and entered with
more than usual promise into the practic e of that pro
fession in New-York. His opinions at that early period
took a strong tendency to Whigisra, and lie edited the
Independent Refector, a paper of that complexion. He
was actively concerned, also, in the dissensions about
the King’s College, which, by mingling together reli
gion, literature and politics, raised up parties, and pro
duced a good deal of excitement at. the time. We next
find him in the Assembly of New York, and soon after
wards editing the American Whig, another newspaper
of a liberal cast as its title implies.
Considerations relative chiefly to his private affairs
induced him, in the year 1772, to remove to New Jersey.
His residence was near Elizahcth-town. The growing
difficulties between England and her colonics could not
lipt awaken bis attention, anti kindle his feelings, ever
active to the cause of liiscountry and the high claims of
liberty and justice. Although a recent inhabitant of the
colony, his reputation was at once a proof and a pledge
of bis ability to serve his fellow citizens in a respecta
ble station, and his fidelity to their interest. He was
chosen a delegate to the first Continental Congress.
The election was repeated, and lie remained in that high
ly honorable post, till June 177(5, when lie was recalled
from Philadelphia by the Convention of the State to
take command of the New Jersey troops, then assem
bling at Elizabethtown for the purpose of guarding the
state against the invasion of the British, who were at that
time menacing New-York. Clothed with the rank of
Brigadier General, he entered upon the duties of the
field, acquitted himself to the full approbation of his
constituents and obtained the special applause of tho
Cotnmander-in-Chicf for the talents, activity, and ad
dress, which had marked his brief military career.
But higher distinctions awaited him, and those better
suited to his former habits and attainments.—The state
of New Jersey assumed an independent form of govern
ment, and in September, General Livingston was trans
ferred from the ranks of the army to take the helm of the
state, as its first civil chief magistrate. No higher eul
ogy needs be uttered on the manner in which he execu
ted this trust, than the fact, that he was annually re
elected four successive times, till his death, in 1790.
During that period, he was chosen by congress to be
Minister Resident in Holland, whi„h he declined.—He
was also a delegate from New Jersey in tho federal con
vention sot forming the constitution of the United States,
although at the same time governor of the state.
It is on his character and acts, as chief magistrate of
New Jersey for so long and so interesting a period, that
governor Livingston’s fame is mainly founded, and in
this relation it adds lustre to the page of Amnican his
tory. If the civil station has less glare to attract the
gaze, and less power to cull out the sounding breath of
the multitude, than the military, it is nevertheless, to
say the least, when filled with ability and self-sacrifice,
equally deserving the just awards of history, and the
Judicious admiration of the wise and .discriminating.
In 'lds view, justice is still to be rendered to many
worthies of the revolution, and particularly to the gov
ernors Livingston, George Clinton, and Trumbull. To
the first, this debt of gratitude is speedily to be paid.
From the two last we hope it will not long be withheld. I
The biographer of Governor Livingston, wc under
stand, lias been favored with peculiar advantages for
performing his task with accuracy and faithfulness. He
has had access not only toall the original papers of the
subject of his memoir, which now remain, but to many
others illustrative of Ins deeds and times.—Governor
Livingston was a man of genius, a scholar and a wit.
He wrote some anonymous pieces which must he curi
ous even at the present day. His humorous rcplv to
Burgoyne's pompous proclamation was one of the most
happy ik mirth-stirring productions that has come from
the American press. The hut nor and satire of Hopkin
son and Livingston did more to keep alive the spirit of
the revolution than many a grave discussion about the
rights of the British parliament, or a formal address of a
public body.
THE BLIND.
In Massachusetts an institution for the education of
I the blind has been m actual operation about six mouths,
tinder the charge of Dr. Ilowe. and tvro blind teachers,
one from Puns and the other from Edinburgh. Among
the printed documents now before the Legislature of i
that Btate, is an address from the Trustees of tins most
meritorious institution,s tting forth amongothcr things
a number of interesting and curious facts, touching the
capacity of the blind to learn, and the success of the ex
periments made bv Dr. Ilowe,and his coadjutors. Insti
tutions of a similar nature have been established in l’ar
is, London, Edinburg, Glasgow, Liverpool, Dresden,
Amsterdam, Vienna, .St. IVtersburgh, and various large I
cities ol Europe, and the results that lime been obtained j
have been equally gratifying and remarkable. As an
evidence of that facility with which the want of that ap
parently indispensable sense is supplied by education
anti habit, Dr. Ilowe says:—“l have often observed, with
a delighted eye, the movements of the blind hoys in Far
ris as they leave the institution to go to play; cacit grasps
a cord held by a seeing boy, and follows him rapidly
and unhesitatingly through narrow streets, until they
enter the immense “Garden of Plants,” when quitting
the string they run away among the trees, and frolic and
play together with all the zest and enjoyment of se ing
children. They know every tree and shrub: they career
it up one alley and down another; they chase, catch,
overthrow, and knock each other about, exactly like
seeing boys; and to judge by their laughing faces, their
wild and unrestrained gesture, and their loud and hear
ty shouts, they partake equally the delightful excite
ment of boyish play.” Wc have seen instances no less
remarkable in the streets of the French me'rcpolis; wc
have seen blind men rapidly and fearlessly making their
way through the most crowded thorough fares, avoiding
th* perils that threatened them in their progress, and
even the slightest collision with the numerous occupants
of the norrow streets, with as much precision and cer
tainty, as could be displayed by any one in full posses
sion of all his faculties. In one instance we had occa.
sion to ask the way to a particular quarter ; the person
whom wo addressed was a very respectable looking man
of about 30, who was rapidly walking in the direction
wc wished to follow; in answer to our application he
courteously replied tjiat he was going toward that quar
ter , and would accompany Monsieur with pleasure; he
did so, the distance being more than a quarter of a mile
ami it was not until near the end of our walk that we
discovered, and that too from his own information, that
he had been blind from infancy—no man would have
suspected it from his rapid step, and the facility with
which lie avoided contact with all whom we met on the
way.—[A T F. Standard.

f jpUiE recent organization, and the rapid settlement and im

the territory of Georgia, known as the Cherokee Country, I
seem to require that an additioniona! vehicle of public intel
ligence should be added to (he number already located in dif
ferent parts of our State. For that purpose is the harbinger
of tne forthcoming “Herald” presented.
Its objects will be to furnish to the community in which we
reside, the usual newspaper intelligence, and to its patrons
in other sections ot the Union more remote, such information
in relation to the mineral wealth, ordinary productions of the
soil, and natural curiosities, with which* this section of the
country eminently abounds, as will he both interesting and
instructive, its location is by tar the richest part of the Gold
Region, and where nature has signailv blended the romantic
with the sublime, will give it advantages for the accomplish
ment of these objects, to which but few caii lay claim.
The limited space which may be devoted to politics, will
be occupied in disseminating w hat we believe to be the old
Republican doctrinesof the Jeffersonian school. In this we
shall endeavor to be liberal and temperate. Well w ritten es
says upon all sides of this subject, when they do not inter
fere w ith ‘he private character of individuals, shall find a
place in our columns; as will also those of a literarv,, scien

\\ ith this very briet exposition of our design, we shall
submit our work to the public. Upon their decision will de
pend its long continuance, and its final success.
The first number of the “ Herald of the Gold Region,” will

To the Public.
ON the Ist day of this month, there took place a tremen
dous storm at Thomaston, which is found to have ex
tended wide and lar, and to have done much damage ; owing
to which, the itinerant agents employed to sell tickets could
not arrive in time, and the drawing of the Union Hotel Pro
perty Lottery could not take place on the 2d inst. As there
is considerable stock yet to dispose of, the Frcpietor thinks
it best to have tliedrawing when the stock is fold, or most
certainly the first day of January next: this will give him
time to sell the balance of the tickets.
Messrs. Saltmarsh A: Overton start a fine Post Coach I’-

I The interest which is manifested throughout (lie State, to
! he possessed of information relating to the interesting sec
-1 tion known as the Cherokee country, and the importance of
all information that can be obtained iu regard to its geo
graphical position—the, quality of its land—its boundaries,
water courses, roads, &c. has induced the publishers hereof,
attlie entreaties of many persons, by industrious application,
and at considerable expense, to underlake the publication.ol
this little volume. They are flattered with the hope, that
its usefulness will be appreciated by all who are interested
in the acquirement of this important portion of bur State.
The publishers feel assured that they donot over estimtna
the information it imparts, and the great convenience apa
facility, by which it can he acquired; and, altho’ there may
I he inaccuracies in its descriptive character, (from the possi
j bility that entirely correct returns were not always made by
| the District Surveyors) yet. as it is the most correct that can
j he obtained, without apersonal knowledge ofevery lot, it must
be considered the best informaiion the nature of the case
admits of. Os one fact, the reader is guaranteed, that this
Book wears a correct and official stamp —as it was copied
with accuracy from the Numerical Books, now of file in the
Executive Department of the State, after those Books were
thoroughly examined by the late Land Lottery Commission
ers. The accuracy and fidelity of the quality of each lot,
was ascertained, by especial reference to the field notes of
the District Surveyors, and their detached plats. To these
desiderata, may be stated, that the No. of each lot, ig its
district and section, by whom drawn, in w hose captains dis
trict, and in what county, are equally, and entirely authentic.
it must be a desirable object to both the drawer, and the
purchaser, to have a Book of the kind we herewith submit to
the public; as it embodies in a compressed and in a portable
form, all the memoranda information which both purchaser
and seller could have, without occular knowledge or from
information dearly purchased, if procured otherwise.
The Book will contain a Numerical list of all the lots drawn
in the different sections of the Land Lottery, excepting such
as are returned third quality ; and if any of the third quality
has any improvement on it, such lot also will be embraced.
To each lot, will be affixed a letter «, A, or c, which desig
nates the qnality; u for the first, b for the second, and e lor
the third ; and have also attached the Nos. of acres improved
—the drawer's name, the district in which he gave in as
fortunate drawer, and the county in which lie resides, and the
No. of his lot, and the district and section in which it is loca

the reader will learn that all the lots in said district, (as in
the sth and other districts,) are returned third quality—To
eaeh district its boundary is stated, w ith some brief, hut appli
cable remarks.
The publishers forbear any further exordium of this, their
“little efi'ort”—prefering that its merit and usefulness shall
speak more audibly its own praise. Such as it is, (and it i,
hoped, it will be pronounced good) is rospectiully dedicated
