Character of lion Miguel —“ There arc no
terms in our language, i believe, which can
adequately describe the compound enormities
of baseness, perfidy and villainy in so young
a man. Before the ago of 26 he had attempt
ed, or perpetr.ted every vice which histoiicnl
truth and poetical fiction have accumulated
upon the head of the most sanguinary and re
morseless that ever waded through the blood
of innocent kindred, and betrayed friends, to
the British throne. The parallel may per
haps not end here ; a Portugal, like England
may have a Bosworth Field. For one, I
should not be sorry to see it. It would be
somethingat least for the honor of high line,
age and royal blood, if like our Richard, Don
Miguel should thus bo permitted to veil the
infamy ofhis life by the courage which mark
ed its close, arid that it should not be said of
him on the page of his'orv as it was the other
night by a noble lord, that he was cowardly
because he was ciuel. I. t him not descend
to posterity .blacker than Richard, and then,
G'od knows he will be black enough.” —lhur

We meet much attention w herever we go.
At Naples, Prince Casaro (.Minister of For

from the prince to the private soldier—never
was such intense curiosity before—people
travel 50 and 00 miles to visit her. At Spez

Our ships have, for years past, been limited in
their cruizes to too few ports to be known ad
vantageously as a naval power. Our ships
should every where be seen, ns they arc so
greatly admired. Free access is permitted
to all classes, at tjverv port, which produces
a wonderful happy effect , and our Commo

has adopted. The extreme cleanliness of
our ships of war excites great surprise and

Symptom* of a Libel.
W e have been considerably surprised at the
appearance of an article in the columns cf the
federal l nicii, entitled, ‘'assassination legalised.”
M e eouhl scarcely believe it to he Editorial,
know ing as we do, the regard of its Editors for
courtesy and decorum—until we recollected the
tenacity w ith which counsel adhere to precon
ceived opinions. Even now, we are puzzled, to
perceive the object with which the piece was
published. As information it is gratuitous, un
called fer, and erroneous. The evidence upon the
trial referred to, was certainly committed to pa
per, and we understand will be given to the pub
lic, —and it the Editor of the Federal Union was
disposed to forettali its appearance, he might
have given rather more explicitly, its result. He
says, that “no evidence was adduced on the trial
lo prove that it was Camp’s intention to shoot
Gol. Miiton.” Now we have been informed
precisely the reverse. We think, it was proven
on the trial, Camp way-laid Gol. Milton, on liis
way to the Post Office ; that he also made an at
tempt on his life, by drawing a pistol when Col.
Milton turned his back upon him, to go away
Ami if the Editor is so very conversant with the
facts in the case, we would ask him, if the story
that Camp employed & hired bravo to assassinate
Col. Milton, is true or false. There is one state
ment of the Federal Union however, that we do
not understand—The Edltorsays,“// was proved
by the testimony of Cbipley, one of tha intimate
j friends ol Col. Camp” and then a few lines be-
Jow goes on to say, “several of the intimate frien4s
of Col. Camp were ready te bear testimony to the
same effect; but their evidence was repelled by
the Court. Vi e certainly think there must be
some mistake here. Be that as it may, it is a
matter with which the press Iras nothing to do.
The latter part of the article wears very much
the appearance of a brief of the heads of the argu
ment, to he addressed to the Jury, until he
makes the ciiarge of partiality directly to the
Court and Jury. How the Jury could lie a partial
one, w e should like to see made manifest. They
were selected not by the Sheriff, as is usual .
but by tw o persons appointed by the Court, and
to ensure-impartiality, one was a Clark man, and
tha other a Troup man. With respect ,to the
charge of partiality alleged against the Court,
we believe that the community see too well the
real motive ot the attack, to make it necessary to
say a word in relation to the matter. If this at
trucious libel, (for libel it certainly is, and as the
federal Union deals in significant epithets we
may he permitted the use of one at least) was in
tended for party effect, it will fail most egregious
ly, fur who would countenance a party that would
resort to such means to sustain it, Fito’ Wilson
Lumpkin himself is at the head of it?

Ourcolumns to-day contain a proposition by
Rr. Jto'jt. C. Rrown, of Scottsborough, to publish
a Literary Journal devoted to the cause ol Learn
ing and Education. A Journal of this kind is
very much wanted in our country. It is a great
relief to turn from the stern conflict of opinion in
the polilica l arena, to the humble but more peace
ful walks of Literature; to shut out from the
weary mind the boisterous clashing of contending •
partitsand dwell with a calm contentment on the
classic page ; toJeaye the angry strife, the em
bittering discussions,apd the unquiet longings of
political ambition, to - sequester, ourselves from
tile fierce onslaught of partizitn warfare, and seek
for a time, rest, and gratification, in the undis
turbed bow ers of Learning. Education is a sub
ject of vast importance, and a journal devoted to
its interest, though its precepts may be less at
tended to amid the din of parties is certainly not
less useful, than the lofty tone of the proudest
political paper in the country. A periodical of
such a character is calculated to do much good,
it carries information to a very man’s fireside, and
exhibits the arcana of Literature and Science in
their most winning colors around the domestic
hearth. Those who would pause at the appalling
labor of investigating the folio pages of philoso
phy, would there find the task rendered compara
tively easy, and the path to the acquisition of
knowledge shorn of half its difficulty. A design
cf such real moment to. every man in society,
should not be.rendercd abortive for the want of
proper patronage, and we therefore commend the
prospectus of the Academician to' the attentive
perusal of our readers.

LETTER 2nd,
To iiis Excellency VI ilson Litmjxßiii.
The questions which 1 had the honor to pro
pound to your Excellency in my former letter,
have doubtless received your Excellency’s atten
tion, and that promptness of disposition which
your Excellency has always manifested, to cor
rect the misrepresentation of your Excellency’s
views and opinions, has doubtless urged your
Excellency to lay tlieir answers before the peo
ple. Your Excellency is unquestionably aware,
that your opinions on national politics, are of
vastweight with the people of Georgia tor their
cotissiteuey, inflexibility, and soundness ; and
tbe rectitude of your Excellency's course has
been of so palpable a nature, as to challenge tho,
admiration of your Excelleney’sencmies.and the
w onder of your Excellency’s friends. With an
accurate knowledge of the premises, therefore,
your Excellency is no doubt ready, with your
Excellency's characteristic candor to reconcile
tho slight and seeming contradiction* in your
Excellency's political life' With the intention
of affording your Excellency the gratifying task
of unravelling the tangled web that seems to en
fold some of your Excellency’s late conduct,
and dispel the mystery that lias long shadowed a
portion of your Excellency's actions, I am in
duced to submit lor your Excellency's consid
eration, a few at""’questions, to evade which,
I I know, that year Excellency will (with a just
Ilian's aWioircncc fcf dnptW'f ) refuse m rwsep
i to the degradation of subterfuge. In pursuing this
catechism, I am aware of the moral sublimity of
your Excellency's position before the people of
Georgia ; and I am duly impressed with the pro
per sensations of awe and respect, which such a
spectacle is calculated to inspire. With a cor
rect knowledge of the generosity and importance
of the task I have undertaken, to enable a great
man “strugglisg with the storms of Fate” to re
lieve himself from the petty embarrassments that
beset his path ; I am induced to ask vour Excel- j
leney’s patient attention to my project, as well
as your Excellency’s aid in the investigation and
settlement of the contradictory nature of the con- j
duet that lias l»een imputed to- your Excellency
First, then I would ask ot'your Excellency,-If, at
the time the correspondence was about to appear
that had passed between Gen. Jackson, John C.
Calhoun and others, you did not with a generous
indignation denounce the transactions which gave
rise to it, as the foulest conspiracy that had taken
place in the American annals, to prostate a /vit
riolic oral talented man your friend, Mr. Calhoun.
I fee! I w ould be doing injustice to vour Excel- j
lency’s ingenuous frankness, to ask if those were,
your Excellency’s candid opinions on that mat 1
ter, at that time ; and I have no doubt your Ex- i
rellency would not hesitate a moment lu unswe, !
the enquiry in the affirmative.
Secondly, 1 would ask of your Excellency, if
it is not true, that pftei the part you had taken, j
and the opinions you had expressed in relation
to that correspondence, that ycur Excellency ;
w aited on the President, previous to vour depar
ture fn m Washington, and ii a whining syco
phantic manner told him, that you were liis firm
and fast friend, and did yen not, to a few individ
uals, alter your return home, make spurt of Jack
son and his Kitchen Cabinet?
Your Excellency doubtless can assign a com
petent reason for your Excellency’s sudden
change of opinion, and I would suggest to your
Excellency the propriety of promulgating it,
lest the envious and malicious might assign a
nother motive than the true one. Your Excel
lency might he subjected to the charge of double
dealing, and attempting to curry favor with .he
President ; A charge 1 ain persuaded, from
which your Excellency is as free, as your Ex
cellency is from the odium of using solicitation!
and entreaty, to induce the Missionaries to accept !
a pardon.
Your Exellcncy will see the importance,(much
better than I can pourtray it) ofelearingup these
minor difficulties, and explaining a course of
conduct that is riot very well calculated to ele
vate your Excellency’s character, as an honorable
man, but on the contrary, has a tendency to jeop
ardize the reputation for honesty of action w hich
even a private man would be anxious to acquiie.
I should think (and perhaps 1 would have with
me, the unbiassed opinion of every man whore
sides in the State over which ycur Executive
truncheon is swayed, with a dignity and efficien
cy peculiar only to yourself,) that a character ‘or
dissimulation, hypocrisy, and low cunning,
would ho unworthy the ambition ofa man, iu the
bumbler ranks of society, and one that would lie
indignantly repudiated with the stern acceiilsof
an lionestanger. Blit your Excellency may have
discovered, that it is a necessary acquirement tor
the Governor of a State; and if s», will doubt
less bamoved by considerations of public utility,
te make the discovery known, for the benefit of
those who may ba called on to succeed your Ex.
celleney in tbe arduous Superintendence of a
Mighty Workshop. CHATHAM. j

Black Hawk anu ms tarty at home. —
We have been favored with the follow mg- let
ter from an intelligent correspondent, dated
Fort Armstrong, Upper Mississippi, /
August sib, i 333. )
The whole suite-arrived hero a few days
since, loaded with assumed dignity and cost
ly presents.
iveokuck’s band had speedily followed to
welcome their brothers ; a grand council as
scmbled, among w horn was myself, to witness
the deliverance of the Hawk to his nation.
The council opened with the address of ttie i
President to Black Hawk, in which iie is in
formed that in future lie was to yield suprem
acy to his interior, Keokuck, the white man’s
finvuii.
The old chief rose, in violent agitation, de
nied that the President had told him so, and
said that lie would not be advised by any
body ; that he wanted what he said to be
told to the President, -...d that he in person
wo_.it have said so in Washington, but tnat
Ins interpretrer could not sufficiently make
known his views. The colonel made to him
a speech, stating that by liis own treaty,
-neither lie nor his people could lor the future
head a hand ; and that by a treaty Keokuck
was placed head of the .Sac nation, Arc. Keo.
kock spoke awhile to the Hawk, then ad
dressed the council, begged. nothing might
be remembered of what the Hawk ban said ;'
that he was too old to say any thing good,and
that he was answerable for.his good beha
viour. The (>oor old chief recalled Ins
words, and I do not know that my sympathies
were ever more excited than in witnessing
his expiring struggle for freedom. Nothing
but his advanced age, and want of military
power, will prevent him from making anoth
er effort. In the sequel, Keokuck’s baud
gave us a splendid dance; but the Hawk’s
party were either too dejected or too sullen to
participate in the festivities.
You may tell the good citizens of New
York, these Indians would willingly get up
another war in order to make another visit to
the'Hast and return loaded with presents and
almost satiated with attention.— Dai. Ade

overtures to Mr. O’Connell to lake office under
it, Wc have taken some pains to ascertain

The \ icksbtirg. (Miss.) paper says that

placed the Acts of the last Legislature of
Mississippi, in the hands of his pupils, for
tho purpose of instructing them in the art of
tinning turd English and bad grammar into
good. He is of t pinion, that the pamphlet

other things, that he had stolen a pig from
Fun Carroll, The priest told him he must
make restitution. Luke cou!J‘nf ; how
could he, w hen he’d eaten it long ago? Then
he must give Font one of liis own. No,Luke
didn’t like that—it wouldn't satisfy liis con
science—it vvonln't be the downright identi
cal pig lie stole. “Well” the priest said, “it
he wouldn't he’d rue it, fur that the corpus de
lictum, Tim’s pig, would lie brought forward
against him at the final reckoning. “You
don’t mane that, father? “Indeed but the
father did.” “And may be Titu himself wiii
J lie tin re too?” “Most certainly.” “Och,
; then, why bother about the trifle this side of
; the grave? If Tim’s there, and the pig’s
there, sure I can make restitution to him
then you know.”
The following extraordinary statement is
taken from the Lexington Intelligencer—

Long Speeches.—Nothing is so utterly
weal isotne as long-winded speeches; and tl
any Parliamentary orator could see the face
of blank dismay with which the people tvho
have anything to do—who are not utterly idle
—take up a newspaper tilled with debates,
they certainly would have more mercy in
their inflictions. How dreadful iiis to see
the first page one solid mass of small, close,
black. leaden types ; tlje second, the same,
and closer still; the third, oh, horror! still i
dentical,
JFhere forests of no meaning dim the page.
In which all comprehension wanders lost;
and the fourth still more dpcaaful lis as im
penetrable as the rest, except where a single
“hear, hear,” all that many a reader peruses
of a debate, or a laugh, which souuds to your
ears as if it caine from the interior of a sep
ulchre, and makes you wonder what on earth,
in such a dense mass of heavy types, any one
can get to laugh at. If any prosing member
could see the readers of such a piper at such
a moment —could sec him turn away from
the debate with a sigh, or could witness the
vivid relish with which he devours two or
three paragraphs of news for which the ora
tors have left room it the bottom of the last
column, surely he would have some compas
sion.”—Examiner.
The H andcri.ig Piper’s reigiv isoter. His
travels arc no longer chronicled ; his manners
marked, or his dress recorded. He goes from
town, and save the ragged urchins attracted
by the squeal of hts bagpipes, nc one troubles
himself about the itinerant discourser of elo
quent music. This catastrophe has been
brought about principally by an unfortunate
“p” which pushed itself impudently into his
signature on the way-book ot a Yankee tavern.
Tbe world run mad about the Wandering
Pipper ,” as he termed himself, soon became
an object of derision. When the troubadour
next assumes the impoi tancc,and exacts horn- '
age due to wealth and rank, it is hoped that

Gold.— The richest specimen wc have ever
seen, was found a few days since, on Major
Alford B. Holt’s f-ot near this place. A rock
weighing twenty or thirty pounds,taken from
a pit near the slate, with large pa.tides of
gold, from the size of a peppercorn lotliat ol
a marble, thickly interspersed thought it.
The rock has been broken, a part of it sent to
New-York,and part lo Mrlledgevillc. Though
the best specime ll was kept by the ow ner.

A ThpUndid T/i/Hiiker. —The editor of the
Witness, puhliscd in Middletown (Conn.) ill
naturedly publishes at full length the only
speech ot an aspiring memherof the legisla
ture, during three years; He says the reader
must “imagine the tall and rmnosmg figure ot
the ornlor reduced .to an angle of forty five
degfees—lns legs, crook-ant—his arms,
ramp-ant—his hands grab-ant—liis-eyt *
squint-ant— the scintillstioris of genius Hash
ing from the latter in such quick succession,
that they form a halo of glory around Ins splen
did head and expresove face. Here is the

"MKM't Thf* k-r -AHt I hid *ht lionet

Travelling to lioohics is of great use.
It changes them from stupid blockheads
into prating coxcombs ; it improves them
as bottling does small beer, which then
becomes brisk without growing stronger.
On the other hand, it gives an ehse nnd
polish to men of sense and learning* which
nothing else can supply ; a judicious mix
ture of those refined manners in w hich our
neighbors excel, adds a grace and a bril
iaucy to every solid u'-compltahmeut.
The theatrical conqmny at Lowell (Mass.)
untlcr the management of Ms« Barfett, have
been arrest) tl, and were to undcigo an exam
ination at the Police court, in that town, tea
peeling which we copy an extract from (he
eorespomlence of the Boston Transcript:
“ All the legal talent of the bar will be hroCght
out on the occasion; rnd a trial for murder Could
hardly excite more interest or make more talk.
One of the lawyers, and I believe there are ftihe
retained by the accused, tells me he intend* to
bother the witnesses,by making them sweat, “»/
they dare, “that the prisoners at the bar are the
same persons they saw on the stags. He thinks
it will puzzle them to prove Andrews’ identity ;
but he is afraid of Rarrett’s long legs — there is
nobody in Lowell that lias such another psir.
There is no guessing how the affair will termin
ate. Public feeling is greatly excited. We arc
divided into theatre goera and anti-theatre goers.
& scold and sputter at each other like wild cals.”
What is civilization hut an increase of
human disparities? The more the luxu
ry of the few, the more startling tbe wants
and the more galling the sense of poverty.
Even the dreams of the philanthropist on
ly tend towards equality ; and wnere is
equality to he found but in the state of the
savage ? -

The Editor is of opinion that Philosophical
Education as it is generally conducted iu our
Universities and Academies, is toomudh eonfinsd
to the communication of knowledge, and that ion
little attention is bestowed . n the formation of
the intellectual habits, of judging, iea'aoning, and
communication, by which alone, the proseeutraa
of science, after leaving School or College, and
the business of active life, can ho successfully
pursued. It is therefore, his design, lo condscl
this work in reference to the analysis of the ha
man mind, and to endeavor (o forward the gfaad
object of fitting our son's and daughters for practi
cal-Lire.
There being no work of th* kind in th* South
ern country, it is taken for granted, that no oao
w ill question the propriety of endiravoWing to
establish an organ of so mufb needed : W«
adopt the sentiments of uo (tarty, wo are pledged
to no society, nor is it oar wish to dictate as te
any inode or course to b* pursued in general, sr
particular instruction, Oor aim shall be,-to open
the avenues of ihoi.gUtun this important subject,
and by our efforts, endeavor lo blete th* country
of our adoption; the land of our children; the
home that we lote !
At a time when manual labor school*, and
other respectable institution? are rising around
us, it is reasonable to expect, that some mode of
communication, with regard to the success or
failnre of any attempts, is very deetrablo....
Teachers need a periodical Wherein they* mar
exprese their views, and from which they may
learn the views of others, and gether encourage
ment and guidance in the arduous task of instruc
tion ; it is our design to collect information from
every source and make .our paper an argan of
corenrtm(cation between distant teachers and tbo
friends of Education jin general. Perhaps at no
period of our history could there be a greater calk
foreerrect vinvrs on school-book* and apparatus;
necessary to facilitate the progress of the pupil:
Wo will, therefore, endeavor to sapply oar
columns with respoctthle view* of manuals and
information with regard to all tbs machinery of
Education. That our paper may interest every
thinking man, and be ah inmate of tbe family
circle: il will embrace Agricultural, and Me
chanical essays: Polite Literature: Essays on
Moral and Physical Science ; Biography, Origi
nal, and Selected Poetry ; and Stricture* on Uto
best modes of Education; discipline of Schools,
notices of literary institutions, and literary Works;
in fine any subject calculated to interest the
planter, the teacher, mother, father, guardian
and student.
Disputed points in politics or religion, shall be
entirely excluded, nor is the Academician ever
to be the vehicle of malevolent insinuations, err
ungenerous aspersions. It shall be the Constant
aim of the Editor, to unite all conflicting inter
ests, and views, in the noble object of training
children in the ways of wisdom, and diffusing a
taste for literature, the arts aod sciences, which
ever tend to make a happy and enlightened peo
ple. Advertisements of Teachers, School sad
Rooks, wit) bo inserted at the usual rated, bo*

to make the Academtcknu subserve the purposes
of Education and general information. The pa
