71IWLIJ. .1 x i;oi PI.XT IALITY. ''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. IV. M’GEIIEE’S LOTTERY AND EXCHANGE OFFICE.

HENRY DUNCAN. January 18,1833. 2—lt GEO 18<41A : Hy W n.so<c Lumpkin, Governor and Commander in Chief of the Army >ml Navy of this State, and the Militia thereof. 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. * lu testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Executive Department, to be affixed, this fourteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-three, and of American Independence the fif ty seventh.

PROPOSALS • FOR Enlarging and Improving THE SOIJTISLIL\ r BATOER, A Paper note published Weekly in Athens, Geo. THE rapid increase of population, wealth and intelli gence of Wkstfyn Georgia, have prompted the Editors of the “Southern Banner,” in order to keep pace with the improvement of the times—to lay before their friends and patrons the following proposals. I hey intend about the first of February next, to pub lish she “Banner” on a largo imperial sheet—not infe rior in size or style of execution, to any now published in the State—for the accomplishment of which purpose, they have ordered from New York an entire new set of materials. The Editors deem it unnecessary at Ihis late dav, to enter into a minute detail of their political creed—thev would deem it but a work of supererogation. Suffice it to say, their best efforts will always he directed (hv dis seminating correct principles, religious, moral, and po ideal) to the advancement of the interest, honor and liappmi t of the people—particulate, that portion of them comprising tho Western and North Western see tion of the Slate ; and to wuom they muinN look for patronage and support. I lie patronage of the Banner is now respectable, hut not sufficient to meet the increase of expenditure that must necessarily occur, in effect the improvements con templated. I hey are sanguine, however in the hope that a liberal public will yield to their efforts, that sup! port and encouragement, upon which they alone must rely, for the successful accomplishment of an undertak ing so responsible. terms. The price of subscription will he the same as hereto, lore viz : 83,00 per annum in advance, or Si,oo if payment is delayed until after the year expires. As an inducement to our friends to exert themselves for us, we offer to give a copy of the Banner for every ti n responsible names forwarded bv any one individual Letters, post paid, addressed to the Editors, or to Al-’ noN Chase, Publisher, will receive prompt attention.

ASHCUY HULL, Speaker of the House of Representatives. THOMAS STOCKS, President of the Senate Assented to, December 21, 1832. WILSON LUMPKIN, Governor. January IS—l 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 tumid ever contributing their poor and Immble mite to resist encroachment, in whatever shape it may come, and op pression under whatever colorsjlisguised, ti 1 every hone shall expire in the last entrenchment of their country; ‘ ’ remaps they Ought to avow, their deep devotion to the political principles ot Washington and Jefferson, and the un blem.shed principles of all those who have been ar. orna -t i ry l ° ,he ‘ r eoU , nl o- : aml lnole especially the! cordial a id warm support of the Hero who has never dy ing laurels, botl, in the field ami in the Cabinet.

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.
