Also—Dr. Ruschen^erger’s series of first books of Natu
ral History, comprising Anatomy and Physiology, Mamma
logy. Ornithology, Ichthyology, and Herpetology, Ento
mology, CoochoTogy, Botany and Geology,
It is not saying loo tji.uch’of thgse book's, that they are the
best, upon the subjects of which they treat, that have ever
been prepared for the use of schools.
A knowledge of the merits of these books will insure their
introduction in the schools throughout Georgia. The intro
duction of new and valuable boots into our schools always
is an indication of a progression in ed ucation. These valu
able school books are to be found in almost every country
town in the State.
Of the very min^ recommendations, we have received we
present the following from Rev. Mr. Betnsn:
Silt:—Having wilji care examined the “new scries of
readers for schools," published by Messrs Grigs Sc Elliott,
wiinnui hesitation. I give it as my opinion that they are ex
cellent books, well adapted to tbe purposes for which they
are designed and a* a whole decidedly superior to any
thing of the kind I have seen.
I have also exa'miqed Dr. Ruschenberger's “First Bonk
of Natural History (except the 8th number) with great plea
sure. and can most cordially recommend these little volumes
to teachers, as’ eminently calculated to interest'and instruct
their pupils in the subjects of which.

Indian Springs, Butts C0.J&IM&
THE Subscriber, Proprietorcf the Indian Spring Hotel,
for the last two years, would moat respectfully inform his
friends and patrons of this State, of South. Carolina, Ala
bama and its vicinities, that he has at a great expense,
erected a splendid HOTEL under the above name,
for tbe ample accommodation of visitors during tbe ap
proaching season. _ "
This House will he opened on the 20th day of May next.
The McIntosh House is in depth 5(50 feet by 42 wide—
contains between seventy and eighty large and airy rooms,
together with three spacious Drswing Rooms and a splen
did Ball Room; largo and wide Piazzas extending around
the Hotel—making it what has so’long been desired at this
Spring—one of the largest and most commodious Hotels
ever erected at any watering'place in the Southern country.
During the last two seasons there has been ranch com
plaint for want of more accommodations for t^e hundreds
Hint daily flock to this well known, and justly celebrated
watering place.
" This season there shall be no reason of complaint for
want of accommodations, or indeed any tiling connected
with this establishment.
The McIntosh House will accommodate over four hun
dred persons'!
Neither pains or expense have been spared in furnishirg
and titling up this House so as to render it trulv a house
for ail who may favor it with their patronage. The Tumi- '
lure is all oew and of the most sterling kind, having been
wade up no order for this establishment.
Tht location of the McIntosh House is on tbe brow of
tbe Mrlntush Hill, overlooking tbe Spring, for many years
tite > ts idence of the celebrated Col. McIntosh of the Creek
natioj, so well known and associated ifi tbe Indian history
of oui country.
Th) Subscriber, therefore, flatters himself that in order,
cointlrt. and systematic arrangement, the McIntosh House
shall hot be surpassed; and hopes from his Continued ex
ertions to please, he muy secure a share of the public pat

had been lost in procuring his assistance, 1 got worse and

the parts around the rising were mortified and perfectly

THE HALLS OF THE MONTEZUMAS.
Montezuma II. ascendetj the Mexican throne
A. D. 1502, at the age of twenty-three, before
Mexico had been discovered by Europeans.—
He died 30th June, 1520, in the forty second
year of his age, of wounds infl eted by the Span
ish discoverers whom he had invited to his roy-' 1
al palace. Historians agree in admiring his
character.
On ascending the throne, not content with
the spacious residence of his father, he erected
ano’lv'r more magnificent, fronting on
the plaza mayo, oft He p^ enl ^Mexico.
So vast was this great structure, that, 0
the historians informs us, the space covered by
its terraced roof might have afforded nmplo
room for thirty knights to run their courses in
a regular tournoy. Ilis father’s palace, al
though not so high, was so extensive that the
visitors were too much faligued in wandering
through ihe apartments, ever to see the whole
of it. The plact s were built of* red stone, or
namented with marble, the arms of the Monte
zuma family (an eagle bearing a tiger in iiis
talons) being sculptured over die main en
trance. Crystal fountains, fed by great reser
voirs on the .neighboring bills, played in the
vast halls and gardens, and supplied water to
hundreds of m trble baths in the interior of the
palaces. Crovvds of nobles and tributary chief
tains were continually sauntering through the
halls, or loitering away their hours in atten
dance on the court. Rich carvinorx in wood
O
adorned the ceilings, beautiful mats of pairn
leaf covered the floors. The walls were hung
with cotton richly stained, the skins of wild an
imals, or g rgeous draperies of feather work
wrought in imitation of birds, insects and (low
ers, iu glowing radiance of colors. Clouds of
incense from golden censors diffused intoxica
ting odors through splendid apartments occu-
pied by the nine hundred and eighty wives and
live thousand slaves of Montezuma.
Ho encouraged science und learning, and
public schools were established thioughout the
greater pari of his empire. The city of Mex
ico in his day,'numbered twice as many inhabi
tants as at present, and one thousand men were
daily employed in watering anJ sweeping ils
streets, keeping them so clea'n that a man
could traverse the whole city with as little dan
ger of soiling his feet as his hands. A careful
police guarded the city. Extensive arsenals,
granaries, warehouses, an aviary for the most
beautiful birds, menageries, houses for reptiles
and serpents, a collection ol human moirstesrs,
fkh-ponds built of marble, and museums ami
public libraries, all on the most extensive scale,
added their attractions to the great city of the
Aztecs. Gorgeous temples—in which human
victims were sacrificed, and their blood baked
in bread, or their bodies dressed for food to be
devoured by tjio people lit religious festivals —
reared their pyramidal altars far above ihe
highest edifices. Thousands of their brother
jneu were thus sacrificed annually. The tem
ple of Maxiili, tlieir tvar god, was so.coustruct-
ed that its great alarm gong, sound.ng to battle,
roused the valley for tinee leagues around, and
culled three hundred thousand armed Aztecs
to tlie immediate service of their monarch. So
vast was the collection of birds of prey, in a
building devoted io them, ihai 500 turkeys, the
cheapest meat in Mexico, were allotted for
their daily consumption. Such were the ‘’Halls
of the Montezumas!’’ The summer residence
1 suppose you may not have heard that we
have discovered the utility of alligators. An
alligator is found to be as valuable in his way
as a spermaceti whale. An expedition has left
this place for the river of St. John’s, and the
dark tributary stream of Black creek, swarming
with these hideous creatures, with the view of
killing tham to obtain their oil.
“Tbe oil of the alligator is said to be better
for lamps than even whale oil, and it is extract
ed from the animal in considerable quantity
and without any great-difiicuiiy. For this
discovery we are indebted to the Indians, who
have been in the habit, for how long a time I
know not, of extracting tlie wTof the alligator
and using it for various purposes. It makes
a,fine transparent fluid and burns admirably.
‘You know bow many of these enormous,
amnia's aie 3':ot out of wantonnrss from the
deck of *tbe sieambonis that plough our wale is.
I expect hereafter to he ir of laws passed for
theim protection. Every time on alligator of
(ighteen feet long is shot in the long grass of
the river banks, or whi’e he is swimming, a'bar-
rel or a half barrel of oil, is wasted 1 . This •
should not be. We must allow them to be'til
led only at the proper season, when they a're
fattest, and not permit their desiruction at the
season when they lay tlieir eggs.
“ The alligator is a formidable looking crea-.
tore, it is true, but he is generally harmless.;
His office to prowl in the sluggish waters of this".
Southern region, pick up what he can and di
gest it into excellent oil for the illumination of
our houses. * Alligators will be hereafter es
teemed as useful animals as pigs—perhaps
more so, for their keeping costs nothing. The
danger is that, now that (lie world has discover
ed what they are good for, their race will be.
exterminated.”—N. Y. Evening Post.

The Louisville Journal says—Yesterday
Wm. Preston, Esq., produced a subscription
of 4)50,000, (twenty-five gentlemen subscribing
$2000-each,) which sum he has placed to the
credit of the Governor in the Bank of Ken
tucky, to be used by the Governor in.’case it
should be necessary in despatching troops to

Preparations in Tennessee.—AVe find in
.the Nashville papers, a correspondence between
tlie Nashville Blu’s and Gov. Brown. Thai
company informs the Governor that they will
hold themselves in readiness ffcr any emergen
cy that may occur. The Governor docs not
think their services will be needed if' the War
is to be terminated on the banks of tlie Rio
Del Norte, but lie thinks it will become neces
sary to invade tbe heart of Mexico, and, in
that case, their services will be required.—
Among the volunteers is ex-Governor Jones,
and a company in Jackson and another iri

two statues of the Hmpcror and bis faf'^r.—
Tlie great cypress trees, under which the*Aztec

Some of them, fifty feet in circumference, are
several thousand years old, but are yet as green
as in the days of Montezuma, Whose ashes, or
those of his ancestors, render'sacred, in the
eyes of the native Mexicans, the hill of Cha-
poltepuc. Natural decay and a waning pop
ulation now mark the seat of power of the great
Montezumas.
The rifles and muskets in the various.State

OHIO WINE.
From an elabora'e report, presented lo the
Horticultuial Society of Cincinnati by Hr.
Flagg, it appears that there are seventy-eight
vine-yatds in Hamilton county, Ohio, of which
more than fifty are cultivated by Germans.—-
About two hundred acres are planted with tho
grape, of which one hundred are in bearing
older.
The Cincinnati Gazette extracts the following
facts from tbe report:
The amount of wine made last year exceed
ed 22 OpO gallons, notwithstanding more lthap
one half the crop was cut off by the frost and
rot, and many of the vine-yards are hut jnqt
coming into fruit. The average yield of wine
per acre, for‘five years in succession, is estima
ted at 450 to 500 gallons, which sells quick a.t
$1 to SI 50 per gallon. There will be a,t
least one hundred acres more put down to grapes
this spring, making three hundred in all,' ill
Hamilton county. There are also eight or ten
vine-yards in Kentucky, within a dozen mile's
of this city. Tlie varieties of grape general
ly cultivated are the Catawba and the Cape.;
the latter is called at the east, the Schuylkil
Moscadel, ar.d furnishes the red wine. That
from the Catawba' is white, and sells the high
est. The Isabella, so popular at the east, is
universally thrown up here, as unsuited to tho
climate.
OLD SOLDIERS.
Another of the old soldiers of the Revolution
has passed from life.to eternity. In SHefibury,
Vermont, Aaron Denio, a patriot of the Revo
lution, died at tlie age of ninety-one; nnd in
the same lewn, the day previous, George Niles
died at the surprising age of one hundred and
five years, nine months and eight days. He
served in the old French nnd Indian' war, and
went through the war of the Revolution.—
Smco lie was 100 years old, he ha F a fit ot
sickness, but recovered end worker, all day
in the field.
DEVOTION IN WOMEN.
-Devotion, l believe, ‘exalts a woman’s beau
ty to its highest perfection. There is no pic
ture so beautiful as the Madona*s, and. if 1 were
a woman [ would be religious, if from no other
motive than just from vauily. No one doubts
that the human countenance is modified by iho
feelings cherished in the heart, ancl she who
cherisheth the mild and benevolent and Chris
tian affections cannot be otherwise than \c:v
pretty. If there ore any ugly women in the
world, it is because thdy have not been brought
up religiously.
