Miscellaneous. From the Providence American. We have li.td the pleasure of pre senting our readers with several spe cimens of the po tie composition of the II on. It. 11. Wilde, of Georgia, whose exquisite taste in the construction of tin’ sonnet, and the lighter stanzas of delicate versification, it is to he re has not had more opportunity for cultivation. We are aware that a gentleman so deeply immersed in the business of a profession, at the head of which he stands in his own State, besides the calls upon his tal ents as a member of the national Le gislature, the gratification of a taste for p etic composition most be a rare arid stolen amusement. If however, its exercise * fiord as much pleasure f<>r himself as it invariably co. f. rs on those permitted to see the results of his elegant (riding, we should suppose i the temptation to a more frequent in’* j diligence would he irresistible. The following sonnet, before pub lished under a signature not usually adopted by Mr. W. we know to be Ins; and though evidently a slight and careless eff*rt, it is marked with an atlra* tive freshness and delicacy. SONNET. Thou ha*t thy faults Virginia!—yet I own 1 love the still, although no son of thine; For I have climbed thy mountains not alone; And in id • the wonders of thy vallies mine.

July 19 h 8 . *f Macon oales OF THE RESERVE LANDS, TIIB TOWN LOTS AND THE BRIDGE. \\7 ILL commence on Wednesday f V the first day of nxt October, ami will cont nue from and y to dav with the excepti"ii of the fiist Monday aid Tues day of that month. We snail then ex po*e to sale in Macon, to the h gh *st bid der, in c nfo: mity with a late act of the General Assembly : All the tow*) lot* not heretofore dispos ed of; being upwards of in number ; on the western side of the river; among them are twelve adjoining the river and a fev other choice lots fo* busme-s. ‘The le-ulue ate in more re ti ed situations, and generally afford geo ! building ‘■ifea in a pleasant and giowin art of the town. Forty tw< gardening lots of 10 and 20 acre* each ; laid out from one to one and a half miles distant from the town in tw > ranges around the Western Common. Also, twenty eight lots on the Eastern -ide ; tli.it is to say, four of twenty, eight of ten acres, and sixteen of one acie each. These la** include the place sometimes known as Newtown; and will be sold, subject to certain lea es from the United States, to expire next January. Th** residue of the lands in the two reserves, are laid out in tracts of 100 o res, and fractional parts of such tracts. Os .these, the uplands wi I be next offer ed ; the lowest nu ibers first; beginning with those on the western side. On Wednesday the 22d of October next, ai 11 o’clock, A. M. will be offered at the place of the other sates, tha Bridge at Macon, together with one acre of land on the ea t ern side of the Ocmulgee rivei, as one of the hutments ; and die privilege of u*i';g so much ol Fifth or B idg * street on the vestern bank as may be necessary for the other hutment of the Bridge. On Ttrursday the 23d ol October, we dial! proceed to sell the % Swamp & Bottom land* within the Reserves, those on the western side first : and continue from day to day until completed. The particular tibmbers that will be sold on each day cannot be specified; but it is intended to put “p the several kinds and desciiptious m the order here men tioned. The Reserves are generally well wa ter and, and contain several good mill se ts The area of the whole cannot be exactly kno < n unt I the platting is com pleted; but twenty-one thousand acres is the estimated quantity contained in both Reserves ami the adjoining fractions, exclusive of the town sutveys. Perhaps no bodv of land of the same extent can be V found, that embraces a greater variety in its surface, sod and timber. Situated just in that region where the pine of the lover country changes to the oak and hickory of the upper; it includes both hese grow hs and soils in most of their vaiieties; in some portions entire, in oth ers interspersed or blended. Tracts of very hilly land, urthat which is quite lev el, or gently undulating, may be had of almost every quality; either of oak and hit kory, or pine, or river lands; and sev eral of these kind* occasionally united in tracts of 100 acres, and fractions of va rious sizes, adapted to most of the pur poses for which land is wanted, j From the pressure of the times, ard .more especially from the quantity oilaud s and town lots that have been lately iu the market, these must unavoidably sell low. And, lying at 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 th** last that will soon of f* r, of obtaining on cheap and very indul gent terms of payment, choice situations for residence, fur trade or for farming. TERMS OF SALE. Perchaseis of lands and lids are to pay the Commissioners on the day of the purcha-e, one fifth part of the purchase money in cash or current bills of char tered B. nks of this State, and the residue in four equal annual instalments.— No se cuirty will be required. The bridge vv II he sold on the same term ; exc* pt th .t the purchaser will he required to gne bend with two or more approved met-cs for the payment of the four sub- que* t annual instalments. W. N.
