-oom, handsomely famished, apd seating herself at a Piano, played “ Home sweet Home,” with a pathos and feeling that made me forget, for a while, the fatigues a-td cares of my journey. A handsomely bound album, lay on #ard table, >n which were many choice productions ot the friendly muse, mostly appropriate memen tos from her boarding school friends and village associates. Among others, was the following, probably written by her self on leaving the school, where she as sured me, she had enjoyed many of the happiest moments of her life. Farewell to scenes of youthful joy, Dear early friends, farewell, Distance nor time, shall ne’er destroy, Pure friendships generous spell. I go to seek my native home, Within the mountain glade, And while beneath its shades I roam, Thy claims shall be repaid. Yes, thou fond friends, whose kindly beam Entwines thee round my heart. The Indian maid would lend a gleam, Pure friendship to impart. Companions of my happiest hours, In memory long shall dwell, A wreath I’ll twine, of mountain flowers, To grace my native delt. Each lovely fl -vver in Flora’s train, A cherished name shall bear, And as each morn returns again, These flowers demand my care, Such pure mementos of the heart, ’Mid savage wilds shall grow, And each returning Spring impart, A brighter, lovelier glow. After playing several of the most fash ionable airs on the Piano, she led the way into another room appropriated far her library, where a small, though choice, col lection of books, in the various depart ments of literature, were neatly arranged in an elegant mahogany book case, and a handsome writing and drawing apparutu> placed in different parts of the room. Her father, once a man of considerable talent and literary acquirements, had, b\ his long intercourse with the savages and brutal habit of indulgence in and unkennes9, entirely vitiated his taste for thecultiva tion of literature and science, yet fond to an excess, of indulging this his favorite daughter, he had made arrangements for her to receive, regularly, the niOst choice no works, and in conversation, * found her well versed in the current lite rature of the day, as well as in the seve r and departments of science usual in tin education of an accomplished female. In poetry, particularly, she evinced a truely classic taste, and could repeat some of tlie finest touches of Byron, Campbell and Moore, with much energy and poetic fuel ing; Lalla Itookh and the Pleasures of Hope, were hpr especial favorites, and in deed her knowledge of these two inimita ble poems, was almost inexhaustable; she could recall and repeat any particular passage verbatim, to any extent, and with the enthusiasm of a high wrought imrna gi nation. I have never passed a more agreeable evening. On the next morning, I arose early, and went out to enjoy the healthful morning* air from the mountains, soon af ter the dawn, I met the old gentleman, who now, free from the effects of the previous days dissipation, welcomed me with much cordiality; he recollected however, my reception the previous even ing, and apologized for having treated me so rudely saying he was often indebted to the goodness of his daughter Charlotte, for correcting the breaches of hospitality, which he frequently committed during the state of inebrity, which he candidly admitted he was frequently subject to. I received a very pressing invitation to spend the day and rest my horse, which I found the fatigue of travelling through so uneaven a country, rendered very neces sary ; 1 gratefully accepted the invitation. I amused myself, during the morning, in reading and examining Charlottes draw ings, of which she had an extensive port lolio, executed with much taste and ele% gance. After dinner, at her suggestion, we took a ramble to some of her favorite *pots on the neighboring mountain. I found her annimated iu conversation, and sometimes deeply tinged with romance. In the course of my enquiries about her habits and manner of life, I found she Sometimes thought of living among the whites and spending her future years iu the enjoyments of civilized society. A traveller from one of the northern cities, who, in consequence of an accident, had lately been confined some weeks, at her fathers house, had became warmly attach ed to her and made proposals of marriage, promissiDg, after settling some business at the South, to return and communicate his proposals to her father. She spoke in high terms of his merits, and seemed pleased with his address. On the following morning, I bid a hasty adieu to this hospitable family and pursu ed my journey. Qur story must needs pass silently o vec a space of live or six years, during whjch time I heard nothing more of the interesting Cherokee maid. While on a visit to the City of Washington, in the Winter of l saw a delegation of Cherokee Chiefs, transacting business with thu Government, among whom was the brother of Charlotte. The recollec tion of my stay at his fathers, revived in my memory. I sought his acquaintance and enquired for his sister; from him I learnt the following particulars: A few months aft sr the incidents occurred which 1 have related in the former part of tins number, the gentleman spoken of, return ed aud married Charlotte, carried her home with him to the city of where they lived for a time quiet ami happy, when he unfortunately emb: rked in a commercial speculation which entirely ruind his fortune. Under the weight of he became dissipated, am! soon reduced his interesting family to wretcheduess and beggary, deserted his amiable wife with one child, privately left his native city on board a vessel bound for oue of the southern ports of Europe, and nothing since has been heard of him. Charlotte found means to communicate these facts to her father, who immediately sent for and brought her home, where she is now residing a wretched victim o| tj man’s perfidious baseness. Her child, an interesting little girl, near five years old, the only tie which holds her to a world, affording her the most harrowing recollections.

M\CON SAT ES OF THE RESERVE LANDS, THE TOWN T.OTS AND TIIE 3? !!. 1 D Cx E WILL commence on Wednesday the first day of n* xt October, and will continue from day to day with the exception of the first Monday and Tues day of that month. We shall then ex pose to sale in Macon,to the highest bid der, in conformity with a late act of the General Assembly : All the town lots not heretofore dispos ed of; being upwards of in number; on the western side of the river; among them are twelve adjoini g the river, and a few other choice lot- f r busme-p. The residue are in more re tired situations, and generally afford good building sites in a pleasant and growing part of the town* Forty two gardening lots of 10 and 20 acres each ; laid out from one lo one and a half miles distant from the town in two ranges around the Western Common. Abo, twenty eight lots on the Eastern side ; that is to say, four of twenty, eight of ten acres, and sixteen of oue acre each. These last include the place sometim s known as Newtown ; and will be sold, j subject to certain leases from the United SUete-, to expire next January. ■"'ihe residue of the lands in the two reserves, are laid out in tracts of 100 acres, and fractional parts of such tracts. Os these, the uplands will be next offer ed ; the lowest numbers first; beginning with those on the western side. On Wednesday the 22d of October next, at 11 o’clock, A. M. will be offered it the place of the other sales, the Bridge nt Macon, together with one acre of land on the east ern side of the Octnulgee river, as one of the hutments; and the privilege of using so much of Fifth or Bridge street on the western bank as may be necessary for the other butmentof the Bridge. On Thursday the 23d of October, we shill proceed to sell the Swamp & Bottom lands within the Reserves, those on the western side lir-t; and continue from day to day until competed. The particular numbers (hat will !)• sold on each day cannot be specified; bu 1 it is intended to put up the several kinds nd descriptions in the order here men tioned. The Reserves are generally well wa tered, and contain several good mill seats. The area of the whole cannot be exactly known until the platting is corn pitted; but twenty-one thousand acres i the estimated quantity contained in both Reserves and the adjoining fractions, exclusive of the town surveys. Perhaps no body ofland of the same extent can be found, that embraces a greater variety in its surface, soil and timber. Situated just in that region where the pine of the lower country changes to the oak and hi. kory of the upper; it includes both tiiese growths and soils in most of their varieties; in some portions entire, in oth ers interspersed or blended Tracts of very hilly land, or that which is quite lev el, or gently undulating, may be had of almost every quality; either of oak and hickory, or pine, or river lands; and sev eral of these kinds occasionally united in I tracts of 100 acres, and fractions of va- ’ rinuß sizes, adapted to most of the pur poses for which land is wanted. From the pressure of the times, and more especially from the quantity of lands and town lots that have been lately in the market, these must unavoidably self! low. And, lying at the head of naviga-j tion, immediately around the third town of the state iu population and trade, there is every reasonable prospect of their soon j rising in value. Purchasers have now an opportunity, ; and apparently the last that will soon of fer, of obtaining on cheap and very indul-l fjent terms of payment, choice situations or resident . fur bade or fo> fainting. TERMS OF SALE Perchasers of lands and lots are to pay the Commissioners on the day of the purchase, one fifth part of the purchase money in cash or current bills of char tered Banks of this State, and the re-idue in four equal annual instalments —JVo se curity will be required. The bridge wdl be sold on the same terms; except that the purchaser will be required to give bond with two or more approved sureties for the payment of the four subsequent annual instalments.
