The history of stiiciile, its phenomena arid
its ptloSophy, begins to attract attention in
tins ini’jiitjy. A moat extrordiunry number
o: S' if-inwfdcrdTs, in common with others,
iiuvo boon-committed in the t inted ."stales,
within a itjort period. Our late registers ol
deaths are filoody r. cords of crime of almost j
every line and gradation In inu-t countries,
Suicide and murder are in the inverse pro
portion of each other. \V lmrc tlio one is
most rife, the other is seldom seen, lint they
have gone on together with us in frightful
progression. Can we discover in tin statis
tics crime a solution of this mystery ? Large
capitals are the theatres of suicides, hut not
of murders. 15ut we have no overgrown cit
ies where the population of the country is driv
en, as to a centre, to find employment. W e
have no great focus of crime, where inen of
desperate fortunes congregate, as their natur
al home and refuge.
While the Suicide resorts to a city, the
Murderer remains at a diset nice from it. This
s another fact in the history of crime. Yet
we find no parallel to it in the United States.
'The Murderer, with us, lifts the fatal weapon
aliko in the city and at a distance from its
strict police and huinaniceing manners. Tne
Suicide is found to commit self-sacrifice as
well where competition for employment is
scarcely knows, as in tlio more crowded towns.
How arc these facts to be explained 1
fn every country the history of suicide, if
not of murder, is the history of the moral con
dition of its inhabitants—the history of itsgov
crninent—tlie history of its manners. The
phenomena of crime, of misfortune, of unbri
dled passions, of unrestrained appetites, may
be read in the registers of untimely death.
Do we not boast of our moral pority ! Do we
not challenge history for a parallel to our form
of government? Do wo not claim as our dis
tinguishing national characteristic simplicity
of manncis? How is it, then, that ties arc so
relaxed with us, that crime of the deepest
dye multiplies in a ratio so far beyond our ex
pectations?
Shall we look in the history of snide and
rrftirdcr for the history of those physical influ
ences which affect the moral and intellectual
constitution of man ? Is it to the history of
the earth, in various modes of acting on the
mental and physical orgaization of the species,
that we are to seek for the means o general
ising the phenomena ? Shall we look into
the pages of the Natural Historian, in short,
for a solution of the law and philosophy on this
subject? If wo find in the fog of London a
larger number of suicides than where the earth
does not give out as tjmriy humid exhalations,
shall we say that this is a part of the physical
law connected with self-destruction ? If we
find in the northern regions of France one sui
cidoin 9,8.3-1 inhabitants,and in the southern
departments one in 31,83 6, shall wc conclude
that this points to sunny clime*, as plest with
exemption from this crime, while ungniacL
regions impel to self-destruction? We con-*
fess ourselves unable tosolvc the problem, aL*
though the histor of suicide in this country is
a better illustration of the physical than the
moral theory of the origin of self-murder. I’lie
largest proportion of suicides occur at the
north.
We have often thought that it would be a
profitable lesson if, affixed to each record of
self-immoation appeared a short history of the
causes and impelling motives of the act.
What a commentary would this furnish to a
fruitlul text? A few lines would include the
essence of a system of morals. A brief scrip
tion of motives would contain an epitome and
abstract of volmns of ethical discussion and
rules of practice. — • Southern Patriot,
History. —Whatever withdraws us from the
power of our senses; whatever makes the
past, the distant, or the future, predominate
over the present, advances us in the dignity of
thinking beings. Far from inc, and far from
mv friends, be such frigid philosophy as may
conduct us, indifferent and unmoved, over any
grounds which has been dignified by wisdom,
bravery, or virtue. That mar. is little to be
envied whose patriotism would not gain force
upon the plain of Marathon, or whose piety
would not grow wanner among the rui sos
lona.
Association. —Every man, like Gulliver in
Lilhput, is fastened to some spot of earth, by
the thousand small threads which habit and
association are continually throwing around
him. Os these, perhaps, one of the strongest
is here alluded to. When the Canadian Indi
ans were once solicited to emigrate, “ What!”
they replied, “shall we say to ihe hones of
our fathers, ‘arise, and go with us into a for
eign land V ”
Memory. —lt is said of Cardinal Richelieu,
that when ho built his magnificent palace on
the site of the old family chateau at Riche
lieu, he sacrificed its symmetry to preserve
the room in which he was born. An attach
ment of this nature is generally characteristic
of a benevolent mind ; and a long acquain
tance with the world cannot always extinguish
it. “To a friend,” says John, Duke of Ruck
ing! mm, “I will expose my weakness, lam
oftener missing a pretty "gallery in the old
house I pulied down, than pleased with a sa
loon which 1 built in its stead; though a thou*
sand times better in all respects.” This is
the language of the heart; and will remind
tho reader of that good-humored remark in
•one of Pope’s letters—“ 1 should hardly care
to have an old post pulled up, that 1 had re
membered ever since 1 was a child.”
Every lawyer, and almost every general
reader, remembers the extraordinary will of
Mr. Thclusson, a wealthy Englishman, which
was made nearly forty years ago. Me left a
very large property vested in the hands of trus
tees, the proceeds to be laij out in the pur.
chase of lands, and the whole to accumul itc
during “life and lives in being, ” and twenty
one years afterwards, if the heir should be a
minor. The estate was thus locked up, at
compound interest, during the lives of ail his
descendants living at tile time of his death,
or born within nine months afterwards, ami
during the minority of the persons finally en
titled under the will. The particulars of the
singular will arc recapitulated in these terms
in u late English paper, which wc suppose are
substantially correct; —those who are curious
in auch things may seo the whole will and
numerous calculations of its effects, made at
different times, in the English law hooks, un
der the haads of i'helusson and Woodford.
Great attempt* were made unavailmgly to
break the will, ted U matter same before
GEORGIA TIMES, AYD STATE vtlGjtls X .ADVOCATE,
Parliament. Magnificent cs imates were laid
before the various courts of the final Amount
of this accumulation, and exaggerated appre
hensions expressed of danger to the political
institutions of the country, when so vast a
stun should become tlio properjty of one man.
’Flie lowest estimate wax chant forty millions
sterling, and on the supposition that the es
tate vested in a minor, some calculations car
ried the aggregate up to a hundred millions
sterling, at tie majority of tii In ir. Men j
were alarmed at the prospects of there being |
a subject, with a revenue exceeding the civil
list of the w hole kingdom. The alarm lias
proved to be' visionary, and the result may
serve as a lesson of the common fallacies in
the calculation of rotiooum! interest, as well
as a marked example of the waste and inutility
rtf properity in trusteeship, compared with the
( tiirift and cure of individuals. Thclusson’s
property, (livid and at the time of his death
among his children, would have multiplied
under the vigildace of watchful scll-iutcrcst
to at least twenty times the amount at which
it now stands. A dozen fortunes might have
grown out of it, each approaching it not equal
to the aggregate of the whole estate. In 181 H,
the gross annual proceeds exceeded £>9,000
per annum. The gross proceeds in the year
1831, after thirty years accumulation, in the
way of compound interest, amounted to £'22,
000 and a fraction. The nett sum paid into
the accumulating fund in tlio year 1831, was
C 10,000 and a fraction ; in the year 1929 il
was reduced to £13,000, & tlio additon niadt
to the aec uni il kited found in tho yecr Ic3(h
had shrunk to £10,510.
Patriotism of the Clergy (hiring the Revo
lutionary War. —Two minister’s sons, in tin
county of Essex, whose fathers were out in
the great struggle for American liberty and,
independence, met not long since. After
talking over some of the events of that period,
one says to the other, “I believe my father
did more than any oilier minister in tlio Slate.”
“How so?” says the other, “what did ho
d@?” “ Why, he sent three sons into the
field.’’ The other replied, “My lather did
more; he went himself, and took four with
Inin.” —Salem (!az.
A Sailor's Veracity. —A son of Neptune
said the other day to a brother tar, Jack, you
nevercaught me in a lie, in your life. Very
true replied Jack, but 1 have chased you from
one lie to another all day.

The interest which is manifested throughout the
State, to lie possessed of information relating
to the interesting section known as the t'liero
kee country, and the importance of all informa
tion that can lie obtained in regard to its geo
graphical position—the quality of its land—its
boundaries, watercourses, roads, &c. lias induc
ed the publishers hereof, at the entreaties of ma
ny persons, by industrious application, and at
considerable expense, to undertake tb pu.-.ji -
lion of this little volume. They are flattered
with the hope, that its usefulness will lie ap
preciated by all who are interested in the acquire
ment of this important portion of our Stale. The
publishers feel assured that they do not over es
timate the information it imparts, and the great
convenience and* facility, by which it can be
acquired; and, altlio’ there may lie in accuracies
in its descriptive character, (from the possibility
that entirety correct returns were not always
made by the District Surveyors) yet, as it is
the most correct that can be obtained, without
a porsooa! knowledge ofevory lot, it must be con
sidered the best information the nature of the
case admits of. Os one fact, the reader is guar
anteed, that this Look wears a correct and official
stamp —as it w as co| ie.l with accuracy from the
Numerical Books, now of file, in the Executive
Department of the Slate, after those Books were
thoroughly examined by the bite Land Lottery
Commissioners. Tho. accuracy and fidelity of
tho quality of each lot, was ascertained, by espe
cial reference to the field notes of the District
Surveyors,and their detached plats. To these de
siderata, may lie stated, tbattbe No. of each lot,
in its district and section, by whom drawn, in
whose captains district, and in what county, are
equally, and entirely authentic. It must be a de
sirable object to both the drawer, and.the pur
chaser, to have a Book of the kind we here with
submit to the public; as it embodies in a com
pressed and in a portable form, all the memora
nda information which both purchaser and seller
could have, w ithout occular knowledge or from
information dearly purchased, if procured other
wise.
The Book will contain a Numerical list of all
the lots draw u in the different sections of the Land
Lottery, excepting such as arc returned third
quality ; and if any of the third quality has any
improvement on it, stien lot also will be embrac
ed. To each lot, will be affixed a letter a, hor e,
which designates the quality ; a for th e first, b
for the second, and c for the third ; and leave also
attached the Nos. of acres improved—the draw
er’s name, the district in which he gave in as
lor lunate drawer, and the county in which he
resides, and the No. ofhis lot, and the district and
section in which it is located. Whenever a dis
trict is not represented particularly, the reader
will learn that all the lots in said district, (as
In the sth and other districts,) are returned third
quality—To each district its boundary is stated,
with some brief, but applicable remarks.
The publishers forbear any further exordium
of this, their “little effort”—preferiog that its me
rit and usefulness shall speak more audibly its
own praise. Such as it is, (and it is hoped, it
will be pronounced good) is respectiully dedica
ted to the people of Georgia, by

AS tiki public 'lias sustained litis
.lottery up to the present time, and from
recent events which have taken place, since the
last notice, the Proprietor- deems it proper to
give a suctinct history, of it from the beginning
to the present time: leaving out as much as pos
sible what has been already published.
The proprietor sometime before lie offered this
Lottery to the public, I rad mortgaged nearly
all the properly totwo persons whom he owed—
one contained the negroes,tho other the lands,
G.e.—And as he believed for less than half of
its value: however, with a view to lake them up
before, or at the time* they hceaitie .due, and
proceeded on with his mercantile businsss; blit
he was from misfortune unable to take up the
mortgages, and having made many'other credi
tors, and perceiving that lauded property had
fallen nearly half its value, add finally finding
for vvliat il w ould bring that even all Iris property
Would not satisfy his creditors, unless lie gets
its value ; and having In-cn thus fixed, and being
anxious to do justice to his other creditors, as
Wjcll as the mortgagees, offered his property in
sard Lottery.
lie applied to his creditors for tlje.ir apprrd>!-'
ion—and amongst them one whose chfinits
quite inconsiderable, refused—an i issued Iris Ii
la (after w hich others issued and levied on the
, property, and it was all sold from tlio Ist Tues
! Jay iu last August ami up to the Ist Tuesday
! n September—and bought in by two mortgages
at comparatively small prices—but more than
the amount of the fi fa : and the property left
with the l’roprielor, to carry on the Lottery.
Said creditor's claim being younger than'others,
the money was paij.tn the eldest claim—and
lie still not paid.' On visiting Savannah, the Pro
prietor, was taken, by this s.itno creditor by casa,
and placed in'confinemeiit on the twenty-t rird of
last .March. And in tbe iueail time tlie niortoa
gees .attorney took possession of the negroes
offered in the scheme of said lottery and sold
them, his proper to state that from the salts (of!
tickets, there is a larger amoymt of money On
hand tiinn*the amount of the nine negroes in thei
scheme in said Lottery. On taking now near-’
lyt wo months to ran aft (both personally pil'd
by letu-rs) a. number ofgcnUcnten, Uic best course !
to he taken, the Proprietor from their advice, as
well as Ris own convictions lias come to the)
conclusion, to voiiliiiiie the said Lottery ; hut ad
mits he must have tiie aid of his country : Hei
will present a petition to the next Legislature ■
ss spoil as it-sits, with a nutrfber of respectable!
liguers, praying leave todruw said Lottery; (alnl !
to pay casli to prize' holders instead of negroes [
o ihcoaioitn/ set forth in the scheme of said hr- (
groe’s. Then justice will be dons to purchasers j
id' tickets, ami to his numerous creditors; and
he will feel grateful to bis country w hich will :
verify the old adage, *» a friend in need is a friend
indeed.”
lie dees not make this appeal to the public
with a hope of obtaining the fame of Tnfiole
on pi old by means ot chance and fortune—no;
he only asks, whtit can I>e done by bis state—
for its aid so as to act legally—and only to main
tain bis steadiness of purpose and firmness of
mind by w liicli"although poor, he will he able to
pass 'the remainder of Iris days, neither tube
grieved w ith past prosperity, nor to no broken
down by present or future adversity, but tube
gratified lor having the salisfhction ol dc-iug jus
tice, and for the. following very good reasons:
—it w ill balance his affairs, restore lus credit,
satisfy his creditors, and to injure neither iudi-:
I vrilual nor country ia this peculiar case.
It is therefore requested that the purchasers of
Ticket* remain satisfied’uni: I it is known wheth
er the Legislature w ill have rejected or granted
j bis Petition.— If rejected, all the money will be
[ immediately returned by the Agents, but if on
, the other hand the Petition is allowed he will
have time to Sell the unsold tickets, ami draw
s-.id Lottery by the first of next January, the
time specified in the last notice dated the 25th
, of March.
