The number of those who professed to have been converted during the meeting, we have not understood; hut of this we are confident, the Lord did not leave himself without witnesses, who testified that Jesus had piwernn earth to forgive sins, ourselves having In ard new horn souls exult in the G>d of their salvation.

The fami ly soon after returned and were introdu ced, by Juliet, to Vlr. Hartley, as one ol her acquaintances f oiii tlie village of L, — and hr* received, from them, a most cor dial welcome. A soon a J an opportunity offered, George made known lo Mr. arid Mi-.

This proposal, en tirely uuexpertr.il. was received coldly, they however to'd him they would giv him an answer soon, and with a throbbing heart tie retired to his lodgings. Ihe glare of professional pride and pompous display of Douglass, had made a favorable impression on theinitids of Mr : ami Mis. Laurens; the ini-taken idea of wealth and distim lion being atta h and to the learned professions had awakened their vanity raised as (hey were, in the humblest w.ilks of life, they knew not that deception and vice lu.ks but t<*o fre quently beneath the garb of learning, and dial |>* dat tic pi i<b , & a false and gutty, of ten conceal vices shor.ki g to humanity. They felt assmedofihe purity of I) >ug la'-* niter.turns, and in their anxiety to procure such a son-in-I iw, determined to give George a hasty dismissal, withour consulting Juliet, or investigating the state of hei h a.t; accordingly, when lie called on the following evening, after ha.ing spent a fijw hums with Joliet in the happy conversM with winch rniitu and hcansare sup* posed to indulge he begM a tow moments private interview with Mr. L. when he again reque-'ed to know bis determina tion, and offered su h references a- would give him an opportunity of making anv enquiries he might wish, to -an fy him self, and he prepared lor an answer on his nix 1 visit. Mr. L. coldly assured him such trou b!e would be unnecessary, that his deter mination was already made, from there piesentation George had made of hi-fi milv, the truth of which he did not doubt, he had determined not to encourage a u nion b him and his daughter, and r quested dial he would nt trouble him further on the -übj ct. George was thun dersUU’ k. Well amazement in his looks, he requeued Mr L would recall so dread ful a sentence, it once swallowing up all his dearest fondest hopes of happiness; he beg’d time might be given him to otter testimonials cf In-character, and that Mr. L. would give him an explanation of the cause of so cruel a sentence, that he might seek the means to obviate it. This Mi. L coldly assured him was unneces sary, and added that such was his irrevo cable determination, advising George, that he should expert that no further in tercourse would take place between him and his daughter, other thau that of com mon acquaintances, a strict adherence to which only would prevent his forbidding him his house Hastily bidding Mr. L. gobd night, he left the house, with a bursting heart, his nund revolving in an inexplicable labyrinth at a procedure, without a precedent, at ome destroying all his future prospects of happiness. The result if this interview was imme diately communicated to Juliet, bv hei mother, with an ii junction to think no more of it, and to discountenance Hart ley fnr the futuie. Cruel was the blow and she sank under its weight. She was carried to her bed, in a sttebordering on insanity; young and anient in her affec tions, yet dutiful to her parents, she at once saw all her faiiest hopes blighted, and, like George, passed a night without rest or r onsoUiiun. lit r parents saw the blow they had inflated, but unacquainted with the m .zes of the human heart, they supposed it would soon be forgotten, aud continu ‘d relentless. j Confiding in the sincerity and promise? of Juliet, Geoige determined to return home, and leave to time to produce some change in his fvor; He called next morn ing to hid her adieu; after waiting some time, a servant was sent to let bun know ‘that the family could not see him that morning; He left the village with pangs, rending bis bosom, not easily to be ima gined, and less easily described.

As if to mot k her misery, tie made immediate proposals of nm iage u her patents, who consented, provided their daughter would yield to their wish es.

She yie tied an implicit obedience to their wishes !! I will not tax the readers patience much longer; in a lew days, Juliet wa? married. I witnes-ed tne ceremony— Fate as a statue, sh - seemed eutirely listless and indifferent to i\hat was pass ing around her, until i saluted her, and tenderly pressed her hand. I hid been her confident, until ter parent-, fearing the influence of hei friends, had fin bid her an intercourse with any. Memory seem ed to recal her situ ition, but it was omy a vivid fiash ; I saw tears streaming down tier cluck-—they ueie but few, tne flood of grief seenn and to have dried up, aud 1 s <w no more. Doug! ‘ss soon became the victim of dis sipation; in fa t. h< had long been sub ject to tins wee. but had carefully con cealed it from the parent.- ot Juliet. 1 need only ref/i the reader, to the picture drawn in my first number, it is a fiiihful illuttratiou ot the life of this wretched pair.

When I last saw her, disease and the brutal conduct of her husband, were fast preying on her vitals. She had been marned about six months, when I let t my native vi I lag ; she di and about, torn months afterward, in giving birth to a daoghti r, which 1 hear is the living portrait of its amiable mother.

It was on his- first visit to Juiiet. I was then introduced to him. and understand ing lrom her, the relationship between us, he honored uie with his confidence, from whence 1 gleaned many of the earlier cir cumstances of their acquaintance. Af w weeks after her marriage, he wrote me a few tines, requesting, in the most pathe tic manner, in language which peurtraved his menial agony, a detail fium me of’lhe i circumstances which led to that event, which I faithfully give him.

JOHN FLOYD. Camden Cos. Jhig. 8, 18/8 From the Georgia Journal. THE VIIE ROK EES. In a conversation v\ online lately hud with an intelligent gutietnari, we were givtn to understand that the prospect of a r undval of those Indians residing within the limits of Georgia was very good, and would certainly take place at no very distant day. This auspi* ions result was to be. ‘fought about, by the operation of the treaty made Lst winter with the Cherokee west of the Mississippi, it was even stated to us that, Ridge, Van, R -ss and perhaps some other in dividuals were making purchase of property west of the Missisippi with r|ie view to removal. So encouraging was all this, that we had high hop *s of witmssi’ g the early fulfilment of the wishes of Georgia in this regard. But the f Bowing information, has dashed them all. From the Charleston Mercury. We learn from the Aiknnsas Ga zette, that the Cherokecs are much dissatisfied with the treaty made with the United States, and that present appearances justify the beleif, that their Delegation will lose their heads as soon as they return.—There ap pears to be one general murmur a gainst them. Poles have been erect ed in front of the houses of the Dele gation, on which their heads are to be exhibited as soon as they return. The informant of the Gazettesaw one of them as he passed through the na tion. The people were very clamor ous—collecting in mobs, drinking, and conducting in a very disorderly manner. Their ex itement was prin cipally dfrec ted against the Delega tion—they also denounced some white persons whom they consider as insti gators of the treaty. It is, however not believed that they will proceed to commit violence on any except the Delegation. Mr. John \V. Fi. >w fks, who acted as Counsellor to the Delegation, at Washington, in mak ing the treaty, returned home some weeks since; but aft* r stopping a few days, and finding things assuming ra ther too squally an appearance for him decamped in a hurry, and has not since been seen in the nation. By some communications in the Arkan sas pHper, the treaty appears to be as unsatisfactory to the people of the Teri itory as the Cherokees. DIVERSITY OF MJM'KIJS'D.
