MILLEDGEVILLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 27, 1839. THE GREAT WESTERN. LIBERTY AND THE UNION FOREVER—THE PRINCIPLES OF WASHING TON, JEFFERSON AND JACKSON. IN proposing to establish in the city of New Orleans, a new pap.-r un der the above title, we are encouraged by the glowing and magnifi cent prospects which seem to hover around this mighty Emporium of the West, pointing its destinies to a summit of commercial grandeur to which no other city in the world can ever expect to reach. Nor are these prospects confined alone to New Orleans. When we take into view the. numerous wde-spread, and extended arms of the noble Missis sippi, winding themselves through an extent of country so immensely vast; embracing the most fertile and productive region perhaps in the known world; with a climate and scenery as beautiful as nature could form them; and a population of hardy, industrious freemen, increasin'- with every hour of the day, we do not hesitate in declaring our opinion that the West is destined, at an early day, to be one of the finest the’ noblest sections of country on the face ofihe globe; and that New’Or leans, as a commercial city, may, at no very distant period, claim the proud appellation of Mistress of the World. With such n field, then, as is spread before us, we fcannol but feel con scious of our success in the important labors which we are about to un dertake. Located, as we shall be, nt the general centre of the almost entire commercial business of the Great West," and designing that our paper shall embrace all intelligence of importance, of the United States and of Foreign Governments, it will be found especially interestin'- and useful to every class of our fellow citizens throughout the Western country. JI hl Great Western will be devoted mainly to Commerce, will support the interests of Agriculture, and will take its political posi tion and plant its standard upon the broad parapet of Democracy; it will also extend its notice tithe interests of Mechanics, and to City News, IfC. . Commerce.—The larger portion of this paper will be strictly commer cial. All intelligence of importance of this character, both domestic and foreign, will be summed up at as early a moment as possible, so as to af ford our mercantile patrons every description of news which they can desire, under this head. Agri culture.—While every other branch of industry in the United States is receiving fresh andencdliraging impulsesforjperseverance, this most important of all, seems to flag behind the general march of im provement and prosperity; and, instead of being placed at the head of our general national policy, and receivinir that fostering care and protec tion to which it is so pre-eminently entitled, is left to grope its way, sim ply by the dint of that perseverance and unwearied industry so charac teristic of our hardy countrymen. It will be our especial care to sustain the interests of this class of our fellow citizens. Politics.— I his department of our paper is one in which every class of our citizens is interested. Under this need we shall give the general political intelligence of the whole country; while we, as the conductors ot a public journal, are determined, without fear, favor, or affection, to support, with all our zeal, such measures of policy as alone will tend, in our opinion, to the promotion of our general prosperity as a people, the perpetuation of our liberties, and our beloved Union. . 1 his paper, therefore, will be purely Democratic in its principles: ha ying for its object the diffusion of equal rights, equal blessings, and equal ©wr/Ae/w, thereby promoting the general happiness of the people: and to tins end will all our energies be directed. With regard to the great questions of policy which are now agitating the people of the U nited States, respecting the currency, we unhesita tingly declare our entire preference of the Independent Treasury system, from our belief of its strict constitutionality, and in its tendency, better calculated to promote the general prosperity of all classes, than any oth er which, in our view, can be con< eived. We are strict constructionists of the Federal Constitution, and shall always oppose those splendid schemes,’or ‘ American Systems’ of monop oly, which have ever characterised lhe policy of the Federal opposition, recognising no implied interpretations of that instrument, and believing that the 'GENERAL WELFARE’ of every portion of our wide-spread confederacy, depends on a strict adherance to its plain and straightfor ward meaning, we shall not be sparing in our expositions and denuncia tions of those daring attempts which have and are now bein«r made by the reckless and aspiring leaders of the Federal Partv, to rend assunder this glorious Charter of our rights amUiberties, and rear upon its ruins a splendid aristocracy of wealth and pjwer. Earnestly advocating, therefore, as we shall always do, these great and fundamental principles of our government, which'were conceived hv a virtuous and patriotic ancestry while struggling for the rights and lib erties ot mankind, we shall, in all cases, give our support, for public offi ces, to such men as we are assured shall have the patriotism, talents, firmness and dispositio.i to sustain and carry out those principles suc cessfully. With all our zeal and ability, therefore, we shall advocate the re-election of MAR I IN VAN BUREN, for the next Presidential term, with the fullest confidence in his exalted talents, integrity and patriotism convinced that upon his success depends, in a very great measure, the firm and lasting establishment of those glorious principles of our revolu tion, so admirably acted upon by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Jackson. And for the second office in the gift of the American people, we shall as cordially give our support to the Hon. John Forsyth, now Secretary of State. In announcing our preference of these talented, patriotic, long-tried and approved statesmen, for the highest offices in the government, we feel a glowing confidence in the almost unanimous approval of our fellow citi zens of the West, with an abiding belief that they will rallv around the standard thus raised, proudly unfurling to the breeze the names of these distinguished individuals. Mechanics.—Under this head that large and respectable portion of our fellow citizens, among whom we have the nonor or classing ourselves, shall have a hearing. XV e invite them to Iho use of our columns. Their rights and interests must be sustained. Domestic and Foreign Intelligence.—V nder these different heads will be found all important general intelligence, both at home and abroad. ('ity Aeics,— This head wilbcmbrace all matters and occurrences of interest, of every character, relating to, or transpiring within the city. Wc shall reserve a large portion of our paper for Advertising Patrons, both of the city and countiy; and as we anticipate a numerous subscrip tion list and a wide-spread circulation, it will be to the interest of adver tisers to appear in ourcolumns. It is contemplated for this paper to be published daily, semi-weekly, and weekly, on the following TERMS. For the daily paper sl2 00 per annum. “ “ semi-weekly paper, 800 “ “ “ “ weekly “ 500 “ “ Subscriptions to be paid, in all cases, in advance, or satisfactory citv reference given, or the guarantee of the Postmaster, at the office to which the paper is ordered, for its payment.

It will be ever found contending for the legitimate rights of the people and will sustain any party whose object is the promotion of the best in terests ol American Democracy, and will support any man whose exer tions are dire* ted to forward the same clorious principles. But to any other party, or to any other men, we shall never contribute our mite to advarce or elevate. We shall support Martin A an Buren for the Presidency in preferenca to Henry Clay. We know that Mr. Van Buren, if elected President, will sustain the South, not only in her domestic institutions, hut against the endeavors soon to be adopted to injure her agricultural interest. The administration of Mr. Van Buren has already done much to advance the prosperity and happiness of our country; and we feel every disposition to allow him to continue another term in the discharge of the duties which he has thus far so creditably performed. Even awarding to Mr. (’lay all that his most ardent friends claim for him, we cannot see nnv good reason why he should supercede Mr. Van Buren, at the approach ing election. Mr. Van Buren, by the high minded policy pursued in the Canadian difficulties, and the more threatenihg troubles growing out of the boundary question between the governineht of Maine and the autho rities of the province of New Brunswick, has won the confidence and support of the American people. A war would have been, ns it ever has and ever will be, destructive to tqe ngricuhure and commerce of the South, and any means consistent with the honor and character of our country, should always he adopted to avoid collision with foreign pow ers; and more particularly with a governm 'nt whose manufnctiirescon tribute so much to our interest and prosperity as that of England. The commercial department of our paper shall receive considerabloat tention. We will give regular quotations of Colton during the business season,of the Augusta, Charleston, Savannah, New York, Mobile, New Orleans, and other markets in our own country, and the state of the prin cipal European markets.

MISCELLANEOUS. THE VICTIM. A Russian adventure.— Som«i years ago, business of importance called me to St. Petersburg. Being unwill ing to go alone, I succeeded in inducing friend Saville to accompany me. 1 metion bim, poor fellow, as be form ed a very prominent feature in the little adventure I am about (o relate. 1 will pass over the incidents of our journey until arrived at St. Petersburg, when, having transacted my business, I to favor Savill’s wish, deter mined to proceed to Ja'osly, where he bad relations. In stead, however, of going lhe direct route, we visited Ker iloy, a small town on the Scheksma, a branch of the Vol ga, for the purpose of seeing a renowned hermit, who we were told was an Englishman. This was inducement enough for us, circuitous as was the route we went. Arriving lute al night, we with considerable difficulty succeeded in getting lodging, which, though very mean and wretched, we at last entered. 1 he landlord, a talkative man, told us during our repast, all the news an 1 scandal which in a small town generallt abound. Among other things, he told us that'lho next morning the punishment of the knout was to be perform ed-lor \\w.ve \\v.s horrid barbarity is considered quite a spectacle, to see which people flock in from all points; The culprit was a young Jewess, remarkable for her beau ty, and the crime was the mutder of her father. If the punishment of the knout did not end her existence, the wheel was in readiness to complete the scene of blood. From his account it appeared that the whole circum stance was veiled in no slight obscurity, inasmuch as the only evidence against the poor girl was, that when ques tioned as lo where her missing father was, she shed floods of tears and was silent. This in Russia was enou«h to sea) her fate. She was accordingly condemned, and was in prison when we arrived here. Being much interested for tie poor girl, we (Saville and 1) determined to see het. We went, and by m< aisof a handful ofsilver, we succeeded in bringing the jailor to admit us. The prison was gloomy to a degree; and never did I see so lovely a creature as met our eyes. She seemed scarcely above twenty, if so much. She, like most of her race, was dark, with intensely bright eyes, which even her misery could not quench. She spoke to us in French, and in piteous accents protested her inno cence. Iler story was soon told. Beloved by a Russian protestant, her heart would not obey the stern command of that father with whose murdet she was charged. Her father reviled her—and here she stopped aed burst into tears. More we could not elicit. Even the j.iiler, stern as lie was seemed touched with something like pity. Saville hasty in every thing, determined to attempt to save her. Hurrying off, he hastened to the head shirri, or police, and in vain attempted to purchase her release. He was refetted to a higher authority at Petersburg. Thither, then, regardless of the utter impossibility of being in time, he hurried that very evening. 1 then remained to trv to console lhe victim. Never shall I forget the splendJr of those dark, swimming eyes, when cast upwards in fervent prayer lor the success of her anticipated deliverer. The night passed heavily enough. She could not be brought to comprehend the awfulness of her hopeless situation.— \etshe shuddered as she drew her slight shawl over her exquisitely moulded shoulders, so soon to be lacerated bv the unpitying stroke of the lash ! The gray morn, chill and comfortless, came at last, and with it the fatal hour ol the victim’s punishment. Though almost senseless when led out, a faint blush and one wild spread of terror flitted over her features as the hand of the executioner tore lhe upper covering from her neck and shoulders. She was tied to the scaffold, and— but why proceed—nay, I c.rnno' proceed to describe the disgusting and horrid ceremonials. It is enough to say that, tho’ no sound of agony escaped her as lhe white and quivering flesh was torn from her beautiful back, yet when after nearly fifty strokes of the lash, bumau nature gave P.

Friends.— Experience lias taught me that the only friends we can call our own—that know no change—are tlmso over whom the grave has closed: the seal of death is lhe only seal of friendship. No wonder, then, that we cher ish the memory of those who love us, and comfort ourselveff with (he thought th;r they were unchanged to the last. I he regret we feel at such affections has something in it that softens our hearts, and rend rs us better. We feel more kindly disposed in our fellow creatures, because we are satisfied wiiii ourselves, —first, for being able to excite affection, and, secondly, for the gratitude with which we repay it—to the memory of those we lost; but the regret we prove at alienation or unkindness of those we trusted and loved, is so-mangled with bitter feelings, that they seas lhe heart, dry up the fountain of kindness in bur breasts, and disgust us with human nature, by wounding our self love in its most vulnerable part—the showing that we have tailed to excite affection Where we have lavished ours.— One may learn to bear this uncomplainingly, and with out ward calm, but the impri ssion is indelible, and he must be made of different materials to the generality of men who does not become a cynic, if he become nothing worse, after suffering such a disappointment.— Byron. THE PROFESSOR OF SIGNS. Iwo ways of telling a story.— ln the days of King James the first, the “Solomon” of England, the Embas sador from the Kingdom of Spain, in conversation with James spoke of the difficulties he met with in his inter course with strangers, and lamented that there was not in the colleges Professors to teach the languages of Si°nsj which should be a universal language among the people of all countries. Ilis Majesty, as much given to the sin of boasting as any man need be, declared that at his college of Aberdeen, there w is an officer, a ProfeSStfr, who taught the language of Signs. Oh ! said the Embassador, I will go and converse with him. But said the King, it is a great way off, many hundred miles. Hit were ten thou sand leagues I will see him. I will =tart off to-morrow. Saying which, he bowed and left the King. James find ing in what a dilemma he had placed himself, immedately wrote to the heads ot the college, stating what he had done, and ordering them to prepare immediately for the Embassador’s visit, and to get off as well as tliev could.— The professors were bothered at first what to do ; but the King’s command they dared not disobey : at last they thought ol one Geordy, wit > had but one eve, whom they believed would bring them off if any could. Geordy was accordingly procured, and was duly tutored, and gowned to prepare for the Embassador. In due time the Embas sador arriving, made known his business, ahd was ushered, with due ceremony into the room where Geor dy was, the professors remaining trembling in and ad joining room. The Embassador, after a brief conversation with Geor £ dy, retui ned to the room where the college officers were; and declared himself highly gratified with his intercourse! with the Professor of Signs. They wished him to give the particulars. “When I entered the room, I held up one linger, signifying there is one God. He replied bv holding up two, meaning that there was two, the Father and the Son. I held up three, signifying the Father, Son and Holy spirit, lie answered by clenching his band; signi fying that these three wore one.'*— (For the Embassttdof was a good Catholic,” and of course believed in the sub lime mystery.) “I then took from my pocket an orange; signifying that God was good in giving us the luxuries of* file. He answered by holding tip ;■ piece of bread, signi fying that God gives not only the luxuries, but the neces sities of life. Ihe Embassador then left the place, and Geordy was called in to give his v< rsion of what took place, “lhe rascal,” said he, “dont you think the first provoking thing he did, was to hole up one finger, as much as to say, you have got but one eye. 1 held up two fingers to let him know that I thought mv one eye as good as his two. He then held up three fingets, to sav there were but ' three between us. 1 clenched ( .y fist, shook it in his fac°, and hid a mind to knock him down, and would have done it but for displeasit g your worships. Well, then, to pi evoke me still tuither, lie held up an orange,as much as lo say,‘see here--your beggarly, cold country, can’t produce lhe like of this.’ I field up a piece of barlev bannock, to tell him 1 did’nt care a d—n for his orange so long as 1 could get this. But I’m sorry after all, I did’nt knock the rascal will do it if he provokes me again.” A distinguished American lady while at Rome, was ask ed by a cardinal, if he could have tho pleasure of pre senting her to the Pope. On being interrogated if she would be permitted to converse with his holiness, the car dinal replied, that she could not, flial was an honor confi ned to the princesses of the blood, lhe daughter of sove reigns. “ But sir,” replies the lady, “lam a princess of the blood, the daughter of a sovereign—for in America the people are all sovereigns, and I am the daughter 6f one of the people.” His holiness was so much pleased with the Spartan boldness of the reply, that an interview was granted, and the American princess admitted to an honor to which no lady of private station had ever before aspired; The lady or the first Governor of Vermont An authentic anecdote.— T. Crittenden, the first govern or of Vermont, who was a plain farmer, alike remaikable for strong native powers of mind, and the republican simplicity with which be conducted every thing in his public duties, and in his domestic establishment, was once visited by a party i f travelling fashionables fiom one of our cities. When lhe hour of dinner arrived. Mis. Crit tenden, to the astonishment of her lady guests, Went out and blew a tin horn for the workmen, who Soon arrived ; when to the still greater surprise, and even horror, qf these fair cits, the whole company, governor, his lady, guests, workmen and all, were invited to sit down to the substantial meal which had been provided for the occa sion. After (he dinner was over and the ladies were left by themselves, one of the guests thought she would gen tly lake Mrs. Crittenden to task fir this monstrous viola ton < f the rules of < ity gentility, to which she had been as sh thought, so unceremoniously made a victim. “ You do not generally sit down to th ■ same table with your workmen I suppose Mrs. Crittenden?” “Why,” replied the governor’s I idy, whose quick wit instantly appreciated the drift of the other, “ why, I am almost ashamed to say, we generally have, but I intend to amend soon in this particular. I was telling the gov ernor this very morning, that it was an absolute shame that the workmen, who did all the hard labor should fare no better than we who sit so much of the time in the house, earning* little or nothing, and I am determined hereafter, to set two tables—the first and best fur the workmen, and the last and poorest for the Governor and i myself.—* Greqn Mountain Emp.
