''List, trhile l read thee a lesson."
Unde Bill, as they used to call him, who lived
in Woodend, was a plain matter-of-fact old codger,
who always endeavored to do about right in all
dealings with his neighbors. But one very estima
ble virtue he possessed in a rear degree, viz: punc
tuality in the fulfilment of engagements. If lie
promised you a “jag” of wood, at such an hour, the
clock would be striking while he was unloading; if
lie agreed to do a thing thus and thus it was done
thus and thus, and that it was done thus and thus,
was sufficient proof to all the neighbors round that
he had agreed to do it thus and thus.—such a
weight of character had he attained. No “loarftil
forebodings” ever influenced him to break or post
pone an engagement. Always punctual himself, he
admired punctuality in those with whom he had to
do; and when he dealt with one not like unto him
self in this particular, and it is a thousand pities
there are so many of that stamp among us,) they
were pretty sure to get the joke upon themselves, if
there were a joke in the matter; but let us cite an
instance to the point.
Unde Bill once employed one of the downtown
tailors to manufacture a suit of grey. “Now,” said
he, while lie was being measured, “I want them on
Thursday evening—will you promise to have them
done ?” “ Yes, Sir.” unhesitatingly replied the knight
of the shearers—whether with any mental reserv
ation or not we cannot say, hut the truth was not in
him if every thing was expressed, for Uncle Bill
called that evening, and there was so much finishing
to do that he could not have them till the succeed
ing afternoon. This was a sore disappointment—
nevertheless, after giving the tailor a concise lecture
on the punctuality in the fulfilment of promises, de
picting in his plain style, the advantages a trades
man whose word can always be depended upon
possesses over those promising ones with whom the
fulfillment is a matter of secondary consideration,
he departed.
On Friday afternoon, as Uncle Bill’s son Bob
came round from the mill*, he culled at the tailor’s
for his daddy’s new clothes, but there was vet con
siderable finishing to be done to them and he was
requested to asx his father to have patience till tl»e
next morning. When this was reported to the old
man Ins wrath kindled, and he vociferated, with
considerable warmth—“ Hague take the tailor!” lie
imme hateiy slipped on his great coat, proceeded
H'r-ii /a: way to the apple barrel, and filled his capa
cious p ickets with the contents thereof Going out,
he found the boys just dismissed front school, lie
called one to him, and giving him an apple or two,
«e.’. him oil in great haste for the tailor’s shop, which
by the nearest rou> was at least a mile and a half
distant, to request the tailor to come up to his house
at six o’clock—charging the boy to say nothing
about his errand to any one, and promising him
more apple; it he would return within such a time.
Ho tiien called another boy and set him oiFon the
safne errand under the same restrictions and with
the same promises: then another and another still,
ti'l he had at least twenty expresses, each a few rods
apart. . Now as the tailor sat on his bench, with his
legs akimbo humming the good old song of
“Hurrah for the cabbage, hurrah!”
in come the first boy with his “Uncle Bill N
wants to know if you’ll come up to his house at G
o clsck. -—barely waiting to get the words out, ere
he set off on his return, as the least delay might nul
lify his title to any more apples. But he had scarce
left the door-steps, when in came another boy with
the same request; then another and another. In
vain the man of fashions endeavored to make them
tarry a space to give some explanation; no, Uncle
Bill had told them to deliver their message and be
off By the time the sixth had made his appearance
the tailor dropped his work in the utmost consterna
tion; and when lie had counted ten, ho sprang from
his bench in a paroxyism of terror, believing him
self beset by a legion ol wc did not say what—
but it was agloomy afternoon, but lie was somewhat
supersticious withal. As the door opened the fif
teenth time, his hair rose on end and his bare arms
were complete goose-flesh. “Gracious father!” he
exclaimed almost beside himself,—and setoff upon
the run, bare headed an bare-backed, with his shirt
sleeves rolled up, for Uncle Bill’s. Before he had
got halfway, it began to rain heavily, but lie did not
heed this though he soon had not a dry thread about
him. He rushed into the house withall the fury of
a maniac, and 101 l flat upon the floor; lie jumped up,
again frothing at the mouth, exclaiming with extra
ordinary emphasis—“ Heavens and earth, Uncle
Bill, what do you want of me?” “O,” said Uncle
Bill, calmly, as he stood with his hands in his pock
ets “I only wanted to inquire when you thought it
would be likely that you could make it convenient
to finish my clothes?”— Lynn Messenger.
THE MAID 07 NO-NAN.
A CHINESE TALE.
In a richly wooded and secluded valley in th*
province of No-nan is still seen the residonce of an
aged ManCnrin, who after many years of faithful
service in .various government situations, retired,
full of years and honors, to pass in tranquility the
uays of declining life in the bosom of his family.
Man-ta-jin, for that was the name of the venerable
man, had one only daughter, the sole surviving child
of his first wife, who, dying, left him this pledge of
their affection. It was often with delight that he
contemplated the daily increase resemblance in
voice, feature and manner, between the daughter of
ner affectionately remembered mother. He had
given to his favorite child the name of iSing-lc. She
was pre-eminently beautiful. Her eves were dark
bright and sparkling : like the gems of the Eiimgan
mine, her hair was of the softness of silk, and black
as the plumage of the raven, her complexion was
fair as the white Me-lin rose, tinged with the blush
of the early morning—her voice was as the sound
of music, and her expressions flowed from her
mouth, which displayed teeth of surpassing whito
neis, like the pure stream lrom the Evkwan fountain.
Sing-le had attained the age of woman-hood, and
was solicited in marriage by numerous suitors, bv
some of whom she was termed the rose, bv others
the 1i 1 \ ol the valley. It was no uncommon occur
rence to sec inscriptions descriptive of her beautv,
hung amidst the fruit upon the branches of trees to
the following and similar effect:
The rose that bonds its head forlorn,
O’flowing with the tears of morn.
Unfolds its beauty to lh« ray.
That kisses every tear away,
Smiles fragrance' tq>on all around.
And grows on Love’s delighted ground.
These and verses of a kindred kind were hung
suspended among flowers remarkable for their l>cau
“’K| hagrare e, l hey were plucked from the
r.ef* l>\ 'he f i irs.: Hundant* of Sing-le, who ,
brougiit tnem to tn«ir mistress They were read
by her sometimes with delight, but yftener withsqr
row.
Her father, who, as life advanced, had become ex
tremely covetous, had resolved upon marrying her
to the Hcen of a neighboring district, a man ot large
landed estate and great wealth. It was the filial
duty of Sing-lc to obey in respectful silence; but her
hours were passed in solitude and tears.
From the latticed window of her chamber, (round
which the roses hung in clusters) which looked up
on the lake of the valley from the western tower of
the building, her eye had often dwelt with admira
tion on the figure of a military horseman, and she
had seen him with delight, repeatedly gain the prize
in throwing the discus and other martial exercises.
This was Binchoo, who had greatly distinguished
himself in battle with his country* enemies under the
Great Wall ofChina. A purple bridle robe of hon
or had been conferred on him by the Emperor.
The attendants of Sing-le never failed to pluck the
inscriptions from the trees under which Ping-choo
was seen to repose himself, secure of a welcome re
ception front th'ir mistress. But the destinies of
Sing-le were fixed. The period of her final union
to the Hcen approached. Several successive suns
rose and sit upon her sorrow, and the succeeding
day was that appointed for the marriage.
The sun went down amid the tears of the evening,
and the.murky clouds obscured the lustre of tin;
stars of heaven. All nature scented sunk in repose,
when the solemn stillness of the night was disturb
ed by the gentle soniul of an oar, which ruffled the
bosom of the clear blue lake of the valley. A small
boat xvas seen to glide from the shore near the
gateway of the western tower. In it was a single
white female figure. The watchman of the night
deemed it one of the spirifs of the river or moun
tain, which,on the eve of all remarkable events, were
seen in the valley. This boat reached the centre
of the lake; a plaintive and mournful song wes heard
to .proceed from the spot. To this succeeded a
faint shriek of despair and agony.
A momentary moon-beam made the object, as it
were, appear and disappear in an instant It sunk
into the lake, the surface of which seemed to tremble,
and the cold wave passed over it. The gathering
clouds portended an approaching storm, and a tem
pest arose the most violent ever remembered in the
valley. The flowers in the garden of Sing-le were
scattered by the blast, and an ancient tree, long re
garded as the pride of the forest, was, thrown down.
The heavy peals of thunder spoke the indignation of
heaven at some event which had occurred upon
earth, and the poles of the Mandarin residence, the
emblems of otheial rank, were shivered by the light
ning.
To this calamitous night succeeded a clear and
tranquil morning, no traces were seen of the temp
est, but in the ruins it had occasioned. licr female
attendants ascended to the chamber of Sing-le, but
she was no where to be found. The intelligence
wris reluctantly communicated to her aged father,
wiio made the echoes of the valley ineffectually re
sound to the repetition of her name, lie was re
taining distracted along the shore of the lake, his
head bent down in sorrow and despair, when a chap
let of white artificial flowers was observed on the
surface of the water. It was the same which Sing
le had received as a parting gift from her dying
mother, as an elblem of innocence and virtue, to he
worn on the day of her marriage. The dog, which
had been the constant companion of Sing-le in her
hours of leisure, sprung suddenly from the bank
and plunged into the lake. With a deep uttered
moan he took the chaplet in his mouth, and gently
bearing it on shore, laid it at the feet of the disconso
late father.

CHARLES C. MILLS, Esq.
Principal Keener us the Penitentiary .
4 Vli EItEAS at a Superior Court, held in and for the
v v county of Gwinnett, at the September Term, 1831,
Samuel, i. H'urcestrr aiul Klizur Under, were convicted of
illegal residence within the Territory of this State, then in
habited almost exclusively by the Cherokee Indians, and
such other persons as were unfriendly to the rights ami inte
rest of the Statos, whereupon they were sentenced to four
years confinemer l in the Penitentiary of this Slate.
Ami whereas sound policy lias since the confinement of
said persons, induced the constituted authorities of the State,
to provide by law, for the legal settlement of the unoccupied
part of said Territory, hy a free white population—ar.d hav
ing provided for the organization of said Territory into coun
ties of suitable form and size, for the convenient and
regular administration of public justice, and the due ex
ecution of the laws of the State. And tho Legislature being
assured at their lato session, that under existing arrange
ments, w hich were daily going into execution, the country
w ould shortly contain a sufficient number of well qualified
inhabitants to carry fully into "effect, these several objects—
did therefore repeal the law, under which the said Samuel A.
Worcester and Elixur llutler were convicted and sentenced
as aforesaid.
And whereas the said Samuel A. Worcester t.nd Elizur
Butler, have made known to me, that they have instructed
their counsel, William Wirt and John Sargeant Esquires,
to prosecute the case which they had thought lit, to institute
before the Supreme court of the United States, against tho
State of Georgia, no further. But have concluded, ‘-to
I.KIVE THE QUESTION OF THEIR CONTINUANCE, ANU CONFINE
MENT TO THE MAGNANIMITY OF THE STATE.”
And moreover, taking into consideration, the earnest soli
citude for the release of these individuals, which has been
communicated te me, in the most friendly and respectful
manner, by many of the most distinguished friends of the
State, residing in various parts of the Union—amongst whom
are many of those, who have sustained the State and her au
thorities, throughout this unpleasant controversy. And also
taking into view, tlte triumphant ground, which the Slate fi
nally occupies in relation to this subject, in the eyes of the
nation, as has been sufficiently attested, •through various
channels, especially in the recent overwhelming re-election
of President Jackson, the known delender of the rights of the
State throughout this conlroversy.
And now believing as l do, that not only the rights of the
State, have been fully and successfully vindicated and sus
tained in this matter, but heing assured as I am, that the
State is free from the menace cf any pretended power what
ever, to infringe upon her rights, or control her will in rela
tion to this subject. And above all other considerations, the
magnanimity of Georgia heing now appealed to—l therefore,
as the organ of the State, feel bound to sustain the generous
and liberal character of her people.
Whatever may have been the errors of these individuals—
whatever embarrassments and heart burnings, they may have
been instrumental in creating—however mischievous they
may have been, in working evil to the Stute, to themselves,
and the still more unfortunate Cherokees- and whatever
may have been the spirit, which hss influenced them to the
course they have pursued—and however obstinately they
tuay have adhered, to the counsel of their employers, aiders,
& abettors. Yet the present state of things is such, that it is
enough—that they submit the case “to the magnanimity cf
the State.” They shall therefore go free. And KNOW YE,
that for and in consideration of all the foregoing circu'm
stances, and many more which might be enumerated i
have thought proper to remit, and do by virtue of the power
vested in meby the constitution, hereby remit, the further ex
ecution|of| thesentence of the Court against the said Samuel
A. Worcester and Elizur Butler; and order, that-they he
forthwith discharged. *

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Han kinsville Advocate.
f IMIK undersigned design, as early as a sufficient number
of subscribers can be obtained-to publish in the Town
of Hawkinsville, PulaskiCounty,Georgia, a paper under the
above title.
In the whole Southern Circuit, although it extends over
far more territory than any other in the State, there is not
printed a single paper, Surely this Circuit has not iesolved
to be behind every otoer in the State, in tiie march of im
provement 1 While,then, the citizens of every other Cir
cuit, have the pleasure of rcceivingby each mail, papers prin*
ted within thrir limits, may we not, with reason, indulge the
sanguine expectation, that our citizens, us also those of
other Circuits, (to whose {papers they contribute a liberal
patronage) will bountifully aid in the support of this attempt
to establish a paper in tliie place, and contribute much to its
circulation.
Hawkinsville has been so rapid in its growth, and basal
ready risen to so much importance, in a commercial point of
view, as now to render it the most important town in the
Southern Circuit. What place, then, could or would be
more suitable lor tiie establishing and supporting a oaper ?
It has become the fashion, of those who make proposals
for edititing a paper, to declare their political creed ; that
all may know by their colours, on which side they will
fight. The undersigned, without censuring such example,
will follow it in part only. They, therefore, declare them
selves to be native Georgians, and that while they design
to steer clear of extremes, they no less fervently hope to be
ever found on tho side of the people, the true democracy
ot the State. Prudence might require them to stop here :
but they feel constrained to go further.—The various and
momentous questions, which agitate to the very centre, our
political connexion as sovereign States, and the fearful en
croachments of the United States’ Government (more espe
cially as manifested by the late decision of its supreme
Court,) which like some dreadful yawning gulph, threaten
he most awful and ruinous consequences, demand of every
true patriot and advocate of his country, to he at his post
and like the faithful an, to tell when all’s well, or every
hope is past. With what disinterestedness and deep devo
tedness have not tho Southern people ever been attached to
a just and equitable union of the State! How many con
cessions, and what convincing sacrifices have they not
made, and will they not even yet make, as peace oii'erin<rs
upon the altar or social harmony ! llut it has been justly
sahl, that a cold, calculating, selfish policy, like the Isracl
ite s rod,is swallowing up every better feeling, and calling
upon all to fall down and worship this “ rndden image ” as
the only true and living Whatever may be the course
ot others, while tho undersigned truly hope, that cur excel
lent Constitution, our once'happy Union, and the high des
tiny to which under happy auspices, it may aspire, will not
merely live like some golden age, as a song in the memory
m posterity; they trust in the fervor of their heats to be

presenting to the people this prospectus, the
xOp Lditor deems it superfluous to say one word with re*
gard to the utility of newspapers. There are, however,par
ticularly at this time, other duties that may not be avoided 85
Easily. Iu entering tho political arena, we may notconcetl
our sentiments, lor we conceive it our duty, to our friends
and opponents, frankly to avow them. The State Rightt’
Doctrines as contended lor by the best expounders of the 1
Constitution are those we avow ; we hold that each State
has reserved to herself, all and every right, not surrendered
up and enumerated in tho Constitution of the United States;
that they may, nay should, and have reserved for the very
purpose, those rights, tint whenever occasion requires they
may be exercised ; but the States should be careful, in the
excerciscot what are called and supposed to be reserved
rights, those surrendered up are not violated : for they are na <
more the rights ot the States than if they had never been ex
ercised. by them. The General Government too must move
within its legitimate sphere, carefully observing what pow
ers it may excercise—what arc reserved to the respective so
vereignties, and what have not been granted. While here,
we remark that we are uncompromising Union men, and
feel, and consider ourselves identified with all those that now
rally under the standard of the twenty-four States, whatever
minor distinctions may, hcretofoae have seperated us.
As respects the parties in Georgia, too, we have a word to
say \\ e have acted with perfect satisfaction to ourselves,
with the Republican party. Tho spirit of that party will be
carried into our labors; hut we wish it understood that we
have not, anti cannot now consent to advance our party views
and prospects by contending against tivse of our opponents,
we olfer to our opponents the free use of our columns, if they
are properly used.
I t is useless to say any thing of the interesting country in
which the Intelligencer will be located—the farmer H inti
ted there hy its tortile lands— the unhealthy, by its waters
and air the chymist by tho valuable treasures found in i* s
bosom. »
