that had made life so pure and 1 pleasant; the charm of thinking the professions of those who ex pressed affection and interests for her, were sincere, was departed. She had worshiped truth—she found thej world false—her spirit was not for-i med to endure it; and sho could not have recourse to the maxims of phi losophy or what is far better, the promises of Christianity to aid her to resign her hopes of felicity here, and seek her portion in that world where truth is bliss. She appeared calm, and resigned, but there was in her manner an apathy, almost a deadness of feeling, towards those, objects and friends that seemed onco to interest every faculty of her mind. She er complained of pain, but she evi dently declined—her beauty <1 id not fade; site retained her angelic charms till the last; and after Iter pure soul had departed, the clay it had once Inhabited, looked too holy to resign to corruption and the worm. She was buried beneath the shade of a broad sycamore, and the white rose bush planted at her head, still droops over her grave. CABINET, n tow Junk 14, ib .b. Fourth of July !!!

Gen. Dawson agreed to furnish a dinner for as many as may wish to partake. Th- mas Dawson, Chairman. * ■ ■■ Wo foci sensibly the obligation we owe to the Editorial corps of Georgia fur the manner in which tiny, in ge- j nerd, have, noticed the entree of the Cabinet—though this acknowledge ment may be due to all, we certainly j exinrienc* the weight of obligation in a different eatin as regards the Re corder and Constitutionalist—Than our readers and patrons may also judge, as to this matter, we make the following extracts—The Recorder says all the avocation* which are not i i 1 discreditable, almost any should be pre ferred to the printing of a village newspaper—’tu labor literally thrown away, where there can be neither profit nor a reasonable hope of any, either for the present, or in all future time. D e advise Mr. Robinson to seek, by all means, a situation more favourable.” On this the Constitutionalist re marks, “Now we are sorry to find our Mil* ledgevillc friends throwing cold water up on the experiment of the Warren Printer; I the more so, for knowing as we do, toe unaffected patriotism and intelligence of the citizens of Warren county, which ! will no doubt be steadily exerted in support of their Cabinet. D e confess |we entertain already for this little pa per, a strong attachment, because we i think wp discover in some of its original ; essays, the pen of an oh! friend—one i through all changes is still the ,’Paine —a 1 gentleman distinguished as moth fur hi® | goodness of heart aX for his steilicg worth and unassuming deportment. \N e hope Mr. Robinson’s paper will go on and prosper—wc are sure the editors ot the Recorder hope so tuo—and we mistake much if there be not found from time to time, in the Huiol Cabinet, much ratter both in politics and polite Litera ture v. - rthy of being Ireasuied up.” As to Ihe advice given by the Re corder, it appears to savor of that be nevolence which says “be ye fed and be ye clothed” — To whom shall wc go —not to the Metropolis, (says the Re corder) forsooth, there are plenty ol hungry expectants thereabouts alrea dy. \Ve must, for the present, con tent ourselves with our “ destiny ob scure” and labor assiduously in our vocation, Imping that the friendly an liripations of the Constitutionalist may be realised, and the forebodings of the Recorder may ultimately prove “ such stulf as dreams arc made of.” The meeting of the friends of the present administration of the General I Government, proposed to have taken place at Wrightsboro’ on Saturday : last, lias been postponed till the 41h of July next—and then—and then— look out for a storm in a tea pot. The General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which convened at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, on the Ist. ult. was expected to have closed its session by the 27th. The only intelligence we have received, from that body, lias been through the medium of the Christian Advocate & Journal. The case of Dennis B. Dorsey, an Itenerant Preacher, ex p-lied by the Baltimore Conference fur recommending and circulating pamphlets of an i nil Animator/ charac ter against the government of their Chun h and slanderous of its Minis ters, &c. &c. (we presume, r peri odical entitled “The Mutual Rights of the Ministers and Members of the Methodist Episcopal Church”) came before that body by appeal—the de cree of the Baltimore Conference which ex< luded him from the Church, was confirmed, ninety six in favor and sixty two against. A correspon dent of the Advocate says, “ Though j this discussion did not involve the ab-1 jstract question contended for by Mr. Dorsey and his friends, it speaks loud,j and will long be heard in favor of the “ancient landmarks.” anil against; the spirit and manner in which some I of our unhappy and mistaken breth ren have conducted their publications. And it should not be forgotten that neither D. B. Dorsey nor any of his coadjutors was cot detuned for an ex pression of his opinion, but for the intemperate & inflammatory manner in which that opinion was expressed, and for uttering and circulating slan ders against the living and the dead. This distinction must be borne in mind by those who would justly ap preciate the merits of this controvert ►sv.” • The General Conference have made the following elections:—Dr. John Emory, for Editor and General Book Steward—The Rev. Beverly Waugh, for Assistant Editor and Book Stew ard—The Rev. Charles Holliday, A gent at Cincinnati —Dr. N. Dangs, for Editor of the Christian Advocate X Journal—And the Rev. Win. Ca p rs, Representative to the Wesleyan Methodist Conference. The next General Conferance is to meet in the city of Philadelphia, May 1, 1832. The Macon Georgia Messenger of the 7th inst. says, The Commission ers after completing their surveys of the public reserves at tins place, came to the resolution, as we un derstand, previous to their adjourn ment, of deferring the sale until Oc tober next.
