BOYER** ESTABLISHMENT, A FEW D001.8 FROM
*• THE BAY-
From the Georgia Journal.
SINGULAR INCIDENT.—the Tennessee
MOTHER.
Some few year* ngn, n young man loft hi*
home in the State of Teinmwp, with a hnr*o
\Jrovur, for the purpose of «**i«t!ng in diiving a
lot ofhorse* into the ‘Georgia Market.’ The
Tennesseean. Hireling with a snlo for a/l his
horses, and not wishing to retain fine to cany
tho young man home, udvisnd him to remain in
Georgia, and seek employment us a laborer on
one of our Rail Road*, stating that it was a pro.
fitable business, by puisuing which, he could
not fail to make money. Naturally a simpleton,
tho young man followed tho ndvico of the indl*
v'uli ml who should have protected him, and who
*•' had uniiced him from his home, and sought cm*
ploy moot on tho Monroe Rail Ruud. Here he
was most unfortunately thrown into bad com.
pony, and was induced to forge an order,
uuiuuuting to about forty dollars, on a store for
goods. The forgery discovered, he was indict*
cd. tried, convicted, and sentenced to the Peni
tentiary for live years. His trial took place at
tho March term of the Superior Conn, in Mon,
roo county, 1838, since which time he has been
confined to hard labor in the Penitentiary.
His mother, an old lady of sixty years, resid
ing 450 miles from Milleugeville, hearing of the
unfortunate condition in which her son was
placed, and knowing the imbecility of his mind,
with ull a mother** eduction, dolor mined to pro
ceed at once to title place, aud to make his true
situation known to the proper authorities.-But
alas! how warn poor and lonely woman, with
out money or fiieuds, having no conveyance of
liar own, to get to Milledgevillet With a reso
lution truly heroic, this old lady determined to
travel on foot, the whole distance, and accom
panied by a sister ten years younger than her
self, she actually started, aud over mountain,
stream and valley, she walked the extraordin
ary distance of four hundred aud fifty miles, to
petition the Governor to pardon her uufonuuaie
son. An investigation of tho case induced tbe
Governor to extend to tho unfortunate youth a
remission of bis sentence, aud wahad the melan
choly pleasure of seeing the old lady and her sis
ter, together with the son, slowly wending their
way back, to their home in Tennessee. What
will not a mother** olfactions accomplish! The
incident, in tho • Heart of Mid-Lo-thum/of Jean 1
■lie Dean’s trip to London, for th« purpose of
procuring a pardon for her sinter, bears no com
parison to this proof of filial affection on the
part of a mother to an unfortunate son. May
they all reach their homes in safety, and may
tho young man, under the guardianship of his
aged mother, be restrained, in future, from iho
coniminsnu ufcrinit-.' The drover who enticed
him from home, and left him to suffer ill a land
of strangers, knowing his imbecility, should
supply his place in the Penitentiary.
Frudom of Elections.—A popular writer for
the Jiiiio Knickerbocker, diaw* this picture of
an election scene on Long island. Though the
tale is fancilul, yet many of our citizens have
seen just such doings. Tho writer -names no
parties.'
On die last day of the election, tho votes were
ns yet tieai lyeoual, and Iho result hung in sits-
pan**. ' Wnd Harry, a noted champion of the
rink party, drew In* ftimid Util Cotk aside,and
told him, hi a whisper, that he had overheard
one of the enemy de.KCubc the exact position of
a voter, who was then lying desperately drunk
tit a field, on tho edge of ucertntn brook. ‘Every
one counts,* said he, ‘and we’d best go uud nub
him at once.’ To this Bill Cork assented. Bo, ta
king a horse & wagon, which wa* on the ground
for Hie express purpose of bringing voters 10 the
polls, they drove most furiously to the place
specified. They found no difficulty in discover
ing tho situation of lha voter, lie was lying be-
neath a willow, where n water wheel threw
upon him n shower of spray—hi* head on the
sod, his feet in a brook, uud snoozing away in a
deop trance.
*lkoy Solomon*!' shouted Bill Cork, in a vcice
of thunder, bending ovor and iloleiiily shaking
him by the shoulders; but no response came
front Ikey, whose meditations were ae profundus.
‘Ikey Solomon*!’ roared Wild Hairy, giving
him a grievous punch in tbe ribs.
•Ugh!' was the response, in astuuo’sometUing
between a grunt and a growl
A consultation was now held, ft was evident
that he could not help himself, ner corporate in
the least with those who helped him. lie was
more overcome than they thought he was, and
they said i! they had ‘a known ha was eodamntd

*Hq is n mmitesideni.*
'Swear him in!'roared a dozen.
•I object to his being sworn,' interposed one
of the board whoso countenance exhibited a
rare indication ofhouesty; *1 cannot couvcieni
tiously administer an oath to a man in hia situa
tion. That is just my opinion; wbat is yours,
Mr. Fiiiutiigun?’
Now tho person to whom this appeal was
made, told by the twinkle of hi* eye that ho
knew very well which way tho voto would
count. Nevertheless, he seemed gravely to
consider the question for a moment, and then
thoughtfully ropliod. * why, I think i'vo seen
drunken persons tako the oath.'
•That may be,* intrri uptnd tbe other with
soma seventy. /I’wo wrongs never mako one

To this the former simply replied, 'well, l
ahon Id say he was.’
The question having been pul to the board,
whether tbe oath should be administered, it was
catied in tiro affirmative, and the votet having
acquitted himself of the elective ftinctiou, was
carried out into an adjacent barn,and tenderly
laid upon a wliiap of straw.

THE
FOR
LITERARY MESSENGER
JUNK.
We have Rt'rangth received a numberuf the
Messenger and procoed to notice the story con-
t uned in it. We say the story, because in the
number under review, the Messenger is the
story, and tho story » the Messenger—and a
very icuinrknblo story it is. Tho title of it is
Judith Btnsaddi. it is a plain, simple narrative
of a journey performed by a Virginiastudeiit in
bad health, from tho banks of eur own Savan
nah to Charleston, and thence by sea to the
North. In his route, ho falls in with a young
lady and her brother, and then falls desperately
in love with the former, while llie latter falls
overboard on tho passage.
McKekhe. the celebrated Scotch novelist,
once undertook to produce a tale of timing in

out any extraneous aid, from hair-bteudlh es

Mr. Editor:—‘An Irish Adopted Citizen’
has asserted, that Ireland was never conquered
hy British amts; (although much doubtad) wa
will admit Iris statement, and take it for granted
that what he asserts is correct. Why limit, I
ask, tire complaints now made against the Gov-
ornment undor which they live? why tho cry of
injustice, and the grinding to the dust of the
Irish part of tho British dominions? why the
loud voice of Daniel O’Connell bhisttring in
favor of Irelund, and complaining of the oppres
sion of his counlryuiou? Is tho population
more sparse? or, has The proportion of patriot*
diminished since the time of die valiant‘Charle-
tuont?’ If tho latter is the cause, I as one native
American, would be glad they stay whoro they
are.
But, Sir, ’An Irish Adopted Citizen’ has
given ns a cine to the cause of their present op 1
proiaion.it is this: in one communication he
attributes it to British gold—and in the succeed
ing one. status religious animosity and internal
discord, as the promittent causes.
I would simply ssk, if native Americana ars
so destitute of patriotism, as to yield tho palm to
any people among whom theto is not to be
{bund men enough, sufficiently proof against
g-dd, and who allow (if we are to believe ’An
Irish Adopted Citizen’} their religious aniRiori-
ties and private bickerings to prevent them from
making one joint and successfii I efibrt fur thoir
own liberty? Thera may bo some, but there
ere others that will not.
But if tho Irish have over obtained any tiling
like liberty by their duod* of valor, I must agree
with ’An Irish Adopted Citizen’ for once, and
that is, that British gold has done its part, and
the birthright has been sold for a mess of Por
ridge. ’An Irish Adopted Citizen’ complains
that the Irish are particularized. He must
either bo asleep, or what is equally probable,
does not wish to know the cause—I will endeavor
to enlighten him (notwithstanding his proficien
cy in geographical and historical information)
and in doing this, I will ask him ono or two
questions Has he ever seen any writer for
political effect, assume the name of German, of
Englishman, of Frenchman, of Italian? And
secondly,lias he not frequently seen the name
of Irishmen, used! I beg pardon, the Irish tin
derstaiid the English language.
I have soon au Irishman at the Poll*, object to
the vote or n native American or fifty yenrs of
age, and that Irishman but threo months a rest-
dent of the State, To conclude, Mr. Editor
when 1 see tho losidcnco ofa worthy and iudus-
trious citizen, threatened with destruction, and
the military assemblod to prevent a riot occur,

when I see one IrUhman.divide and distract a

Sunday last, between a party ofsome fifty men,
who had been landed from a schooner above the

place who had set out to oppose them.
The party from the schooner is said to have
crossed ovor from tho American aide, but this
does not appoar, by any means, certain. No

this melancholy tale of his love is universally
credited, at the place described as his father’s
cottage and the country around. The name of
the Hero is very littlo altered from h'ls real one,
and the main fsatiires of th« story are the sains
which we have always heard, and which hsve
almost become traditional in that romantic re
gion. We know that be is yet a bachelor—and
the common belief of hi* friends is, that the
causes are grief and mortification for the failure
of the dream which occurs but once in e life
time. The author is the Rev. Henry Ri/rrxzR,
D. D., President of Washington College, in
Virginia—one of the ripest scholars of the age,
and a man so modest and retiring, that he has
hidierto been almost buried beneath the ponder
ous and musty tomes which he habitually hnn
dies. We can well imagine the coaxing aud
persuasion of friends which it required to re
produce this gem of the mountains. Now,
however, that he is once out before tho public,
wo mistako the sagacity of the Harpers if they
dn not seize upon this book and its author as
their own henceforth. One novel from such
pen is worth a hundred of your amiable pirates,
and modest robbers—and religious) libertines
(imitations of tho Bulwer school) with which
our presses are teeming.

books oflhe Custom huitso it was found that
Mr. Boltnmly had made at least twenty olio en
tries, by the assistance of Deputy Campbell, ir.
every case by the highest cost package of each
invoice,
The goods at issue ire supposed to have busn
part of those 21 false and fraudulent entries.
The proper marks, tags, and numbers were
missing, and the ends ot the pieces and the
boxes in which thoy were placed, were singu.
larly gouged and cut, apparently with a view to
erase the means of tracing the goods.
Judge Davis decided that tho government had
made out a case of‘probable cause’ of fruihfiand
tliis placed the burden of proof upon the claim,
attt to trace the goods to thair origin, and show
that they wore regulurly imported, and that the
allegations in tho information, were false —
Having failed to do this, the goods are of course
legally forfeited. Their value is about $19,000

The Omega has jugi procured tho “Grand

of it, 1 merely say to you by this ship,that a meet

&c. a deputation was appointed to wait on the
Hong Merchants, and inform thorn that a Com

THE CANTON NEWS.
Wo learn further by other Letters thpn we
have already published, that there was whon tho
Omega sailed, an actual stoppage of all Trade
with Foreigners,with some prospect of violotice,
The Omega hardly escaped, a Lingaist having
bean sent down to brink her back, who howev
er, did not arrive in tune. Two English ships
were carried back. No Foreigners wtro allow*
ed to leave Canton—and ou die 23d March, a
posse of soldiers entered the factory of Dent &
Co., demanding Mr. Dont, because lie had not
left iho country ns ordered by dm Emperor.
Mr. Dont not being present. Mr. Inglis went
into the city with the officer, nccoo.puniud' by
Thom und Morrison as iuterproters. Mr. KU
lint soul around a circular on the 23d in Macao,
•biting thut ho had ordered the Eng id: pan of
tho opium fleet hack to Hougkong, in company
with die Same sloop of war, and there to put
themselves in a state ordafouce. He left Macao
fur Canton the satuu evening, in order to de>
mand passports for ull British subjects to leave
Canton The opium in M&cao was all bueing
ro.embarked on board ship, os tho commission,
er bad threatened to search all tbe houses in
Macao fur it. The Fort government had re.
coived orders to fit up e house for tho Commie,
•ioner, and they were making ready tho tavern
on Praya Graude, near die landing place, for
hit reception. There ware twenty war junks
anchored in the Roads. The people in Macao
are in great trouble, for if the opiu.u trade is cut
ofTfroni the place, they have a snd prospect of
starvation, or at feast great misery before them.
