invim* this deliefttful srenp, when aj

tt-,i my attention. 1 stood concealed
beneath th’e shade of the hedge, to
cat< h the direction from whence the:
sounds proceeded, when the white
folds of a female dress caught my
f iew, passing from a distant part of
tlv* enclosure* towards the spot w here
1 was standing; as it approached
nnar’ p, I observed two female forms
w Iking arm in arm, towards an en
closed grave, over whic h a few Wild

ble mat of evergreen shrubbery.
‘The tallest, and apparently elder
female, carried in her hand, a lew
tvvigs of rose bushes which sl<
p’ iiited around the brick, arch enclos

ed to be engaged in arranging some
of the wild vines, to overgrow the
tomb stone, so as to leave nothing ‘i

patently guiding and arranging the

grow in beautiful festoons, methougtc

often pi tured the fabled f dry, and as
the silvery rays of a bright moon
sometimes reflected on her connte
nance, t!o* sweet heaqh of celestial i*
r.nceoce, which played'ther*, seemed
more than earthly. 0! it was e

MACON SALES
i
of tup: reserve lands,
the town lots and the
BRIDGE.
1 f7ILL commence on Wednesday
▼ v the first day of next 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
nose to sale in Macon,to the highest bid
| ler, in conformity with a late act of tin
| Genera! Assembly :
i All the town lots not heretofore dispos
ed of; being upwards of
in number; on the western side of the
nver; among them are (wclw adjoining
the river, and a few other choice lots for
busine-s. The residue are in more re
tired situations, and generally afford good
building sites in a pleasant and growing
..•art of the town.
Forty two gardening lots of 10 and 20
acres each ; laid out from one to one and
a half miles distant from the town in two
ranges around the Western Common.
Also, twenty eight lots on the Eastern
side ; that is to say, four of twenty, eight
of ten acres, and sixteen of one aci e each.
These la-t include the place sometimes
known as Newtown ; and will be sold,
subject to certain leases from the United
3 ates, to expire next January.
The residue of the lands in the two
reserves, are laid out in traits of 100
acres, and fractional parts of such tracts.
Os these, the uplands will be next dfer
ed ; the lowest number- first; beginning
with those on the western side.
Ou Wednesday the 22d of October
next, a 11 o’clock, A. M. will be otiered
at the place ot the other sales, the
Bridge at Macon,
together with one acre of land on the east
ern side ol the Oemulgee river, as one of
the Hutments ; and the pnviicg *of n-jitg
so much ol Fifth or B. idge stuet on tin
western bank as may be necessary for the
other hutment of ihe Bridge.
Oa I’nursday th - 23d ot October, we
shall proceed to sell the
Swamp & Bottom
lands within the Reserves, those on the
western side fir-1; continue from day
to day until completed.
The parti ular numbers that will b*
sold on each day cannot be specified; bu*
it is intended to put op the several kinds
and desciiptions in the order here men-
I boned.
The Reserves are generally well wa
ter'd, and contain several good mill
seats. The area of the whole cannot be
exactly kno vn until the fdalting is com
pleted; but twenty-one thousand acres is
the estimated quantity contained in
both Reserves and the adjoining fractions*
exclusive >f the town surveys. Perhaps
no body of land of the same extent can be
found, that embraces a greater vaiiety
in its surface, sod and timber. Situated!
just in that region w here the pine of the
lower country changes to tlv oak antii
hickory of the upper; it includes both
hese growths and soils in most of their
varieties; in some portions entire, iu oth
ers interspersed or blended. Tracts of
very hilly land, vrthat which is quite lev
el, or gently undulating, rnay be had of
almost every quality; either of oak and
hickory, or pine, or river lands; and sev
eral of tin se occasionally united in
tracts ot ICO acre3, and fractions of va
rious sizes, adapted to most of the pur
poses tor 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 sell
low. And, lyingmt the head of naviga
tion, immediately around the third town
of the state in population and trade, there
is every reasonable prospect of their soon
rising in value.
Purchasers have now an opportunity,
and apparently the last that will soon of
fer, ot obtaining on cheap and very indul
gent terms of payment, choice situations
lor residence, for trade or fi.r fanning.
TERMS OF SALE.
Perchasers of lands and Inis are to pay
the Commissioners o.i the day of the
purchase, one fifth part of the purchase
money in cash or current hills of char
tered Banks of this State, and the ip-idue
•> four equal annual instalments. —No se
curity will he required.
The budge w II be sold on the same
,l 'rm>; except that tiie purchaser will be
‘ quired to give bond with two or more
ipproved sureties lor the payment of the
lour sub- queut annual instalments.
