We must apologise to our patrons for losing a paper last week. The change in our weather gave us solemn warning to leave our transparent abode, and seek some other, more congenial to our devil’s fingers and feelings, than the one we then occupied. The whistling of the westlin winds and northern blasts, as they played their .Kolian strains through the varied dimensions of our Lumpkin starlights, might suit very well the fiery fancy ot’a poet, or the musical ear of a minstrel, but they are too refrigerating for the geniuses of our devils, whose mu •leal lingers mast be kept at a proper temperature. The removal then of our office to a house more suitable for the approaching winter, engrossed so much of our time, that we were compelled to postpone the publication of last week’s paper. fldWo&ncffd.— Much complaint exists among tne ctti aensof this place on aceouut of the mail arrangements. They have had a post office established there for severa swaths, but have not yet been able to get a mail. There is considerable business done at this new town, and the Merchants, Miners and others, arc compelled to send better than five miles to this office for their letters. Surely this is a great inconvenience, and one which might easily be remedied. It is true that Cane Creek Hiil would, make the continuation of the Stage line somewhat haz ardous, but a mail-bag might betaken thrice a week from this place, and thus much inconvenience, time and ex pense saved the upper part of the county. We would all the attention of those most interested, to this subject, ;„d recommend the speedy adoption of such measu.es as would remove tliocxisting evil. —: 2K3K : We are informed by Mr. John N. Rose, of this place, vbo has been engaged for some time past in purchasing „„ld, that the last two months have afforded a greater quantity of the precious metal in nrnrket. than the same length of timein any proceeding part of the mining sea son! The mining business is better now than it has been .1 any time previous, and for ties obvious reason; all who are now engaged in the business, may be considered suc cessful operators : there arc of course not near so many adventurers experimenting here as there were last spring, but the enterprising and industrious miner, is genera y well rewarded with thcglittcring treasure, for Ins research fs. On many of the branches, the gravel has been wash ed a second time, and well reward jd tho labourer. e have heard of a third time’s re-washing to have paid good wages. This has indeed appeared strange, and lias in vited philosophic speculation. Some iiave contended from these and other premises, that the gold was produced in its native rock,and might seem again to reawaken the hy jiothetical hope of discovering the long sought “ Philoso phers Stone.” But wc confess ourselves still skeptical amt unbelieving, and presume to account for the success ful re-washing of the gravel, by supposing that much of the precious mineral, must necessarily passoverthe rock r, from the moist state in which the rocks were thrown :n, and that not being washed entirely free from the ad hesive mud, the exposure to the air and sun has made, the golden particles yield on rc-washing, more readily to the iterators wishes. —: 2T2K XVc have ever since (lie sitting of our Legislature, giv tit to out readers, a journal of the proceedings of an im portant or public character in the Sedate and House of Representatives, omitting the private or local acts, except “here we were specially interested. \ e have to ay continued our abbreviated journal from our last, wuc includes the actings and doings of two weeks. n a 1 “on, we have been informed by private communication, flat the bill to incorporate the Rail Road Company, from Augusta to Athens, has passed the House. The Governor has appointed N. B. Juhan, Francis Tennille and William Searcy, Esqrs. Commissioners of the Lottery, for the Fractions in the Cherokee country. The drawing commenced on the 6th inst. and is now pro talily concluded. The prizes we understand, were pla ced in the Gold and Land wheels, and to be drawn to the names remaining undrawn from the wheels of the thrmcr Lotcrica. The number of prizes, were about twelve hundred; names remaining undrawn, many thousand. Thus has the State of Georgia continued from year to pear, to gamble away her rich inheritance. It is indeed Painful lor one wlio feels as a Georgian should, to con itast Georgia as she is, with Georgia as she might have been. Her immense extent of terri'ory which might have been so appropriated, as to havo filled our whole state withtho most splendid works of internal improvement— tniglit have have afforded employment to thousands of her citizens, and thus have filled then barns and store houses, with plenty —might have forever dispensed with the necessity of taxing her citizens—might have been a tesort to the oppressed and enterprising of all nations, and have stood forth, the pride of her people, for the emulous admiration of her sisterstates. But alas for her, her Le rislatures have listened to the syren song of gaming, ami ofGeorga Ims disgracefully iiilVMatcd,literally and emphatically, gambled away her rich iiikeiitance, and must sooner or tutor, feel through every member of her political body, the effect of her misguided legislation, and the infatuated spirit of her policy. . FOR. THE WESTERN HERALD. In accordance with a previous notice, and in furtherance of the call of she State Rights Par ty, at Millcdgeville, a respectable assemblage of the Party in this county, convened on Wed nesday the 4th inst. at the MINERS IIALL inthis place; whenon motion, Dr..L H. Thomas, was appointed Chairman, and Alfred B. llolt, Esq. appointed Secretary. The object of the meeting being explained, the following resolu tions offered by J. J. Hutchinson, Esq. were unanimously adopted. Resolved, That we approve of Caucus nomi nations, as the best method of guaranteeing to us, by an unanimous suffrage of the Stale Rights Party, a representation calculated to honor, exalt and protect t[ie sovereignty .peace and Union of the States. Resolved, That inasmuch ns we have but one representative from this county whom we can claim as belonging to our party; that Col. A. G. Fambrough, be to make up that de ficiency, and to associate with our Republican Representative Isaa'c R. Walker, and with hjtfi to act for us in the proposed convention to be held at Mdlcdgeville on the .k?th ins.t. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and that the ldtterbe instructed totransmit the same to Col. Fambrough and solicit his acceptance of the appointment. On motion of Allen Esq. Resolved that-the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the Chairman and Secretary and published in the Western Herald. J. H. THOMAS, Chairman. A. B. Holt, Secretary. At the same time and place, it. was Resolved, To form a State Rights Association in this coun ty, and a committee was appointed to drufta Constitution, and by Lws'for.the Governmjpt of the same, ahd to make their report to a meet ing to be held on the 28th inst. torthat purpose.

On motion of Mr. Reuben Thornton, Richard Winn, Esq. was called to the Chair, and Gaston J\l. Under wood, Esq. appointed Secretary ; after the bu siness for which said meeting .had been called, had been disposed of, tho following preamble and resolutions, were introduced by Mr. R- Thornton, and ably sustained by sound logical reasoning from himsclt; when the vote of the meeting being taken thereon, they were unanim ously adopted. Whereas, for the want of a proper.inderstand ing amongst the people of the original Demo cratic Republican principles of the Government, we find ourselves as a nation fast tending to consolidation, anarchy and confusion, which in some instances have already p.oved highly in jurious, and extremely oppressive to various sections of the country, and to our own State particularly, the great evils of which, if not checked, we fear will ultimate in the basest despotism, and overthrow of the Government; and believing that the only salve for the con tinuation of the Government, and the arresting tho progress of so great an evil, is the general discrimination of a correct knowledge of the principles of the Government amongst the pie. Be it therefore Resolved, by this meeting, that a meeting of the Citizens of this county who arc attached to the State Rights Party, be called on the second Tuesday in January 1834, for the purpose of organizing a State Rights Associa tion, with a view of procuring and circulating amongst the people the best information in their power relative to the pure Democratic Republi can principles of the Government, as set forth by Thomas Jefferson in ’9B and 99, and con stituted the basis of his administration thereaf ter. 2d. Be it further Resolved, That there be a committee of five persons appointed for the pur pose of drafting a constitut'on, and making oth er necessary arrangements preparatory to the organization of said association, and that they report the same to said meeting. On motion of Col. Buffington, Resolved, That James W. Jo* Robert Mitchell, David C. Neal, Richard Winn ami Joseph Rivers com pose that committee. Resolved Further, that these proceedings be signed by the Chairman and countersigned by the Secretary, and published in the Western Herald. RICHARI ) WINN, Chairman. G. M. UNDERWOOD, Secretary. FOR THE WESTERN HERAI.I>. Mr. Editor —I have noticed in the columns of the Christian Index, a letter written from this place by one of our Citizens, containing what 1 concievo with due dcfference to the young gen tlemans “moral worth” is a gross slander upon our county. I should- be loth to ehgage in a controversy with one who has shown himself so public spirited as to appear before the public vero nomine and endeavours to awaken the sym pathies of the religious community abroad, in behalf of the destitute white savages at home ; and I should not now notice the effusion of the o-entlernan’s prolific imagination, if it were not that already have our town andl county .suffered from the misrepresentations of the msucwus, or from the desire of figuring like the gentle- j man, in the columns of a Newspap r. It is not now my object, to notice tho author of this pi- j ous, commiserhting epistle, and who thus courts public attention, and could not be better pleased than by carrying onin hisrealnamr,uncwspapcr controversy; and it would be the height of folly and extravagance in anv one, to attempt to pun ish by satirical exposure, those who thus court the lash, by baring their backs. But justice to the good people of this county, and to the ex emplary and edifying Divines, who have ci-t their lots with us in jhe gold region, requires that the assertions made by the gentleman allu ded to, should be flatly contradicted. He sa's, “ several thousand persons reside in this coun ty, and not one Minister ofthe gospel.” How this assertion comports with the gentleman’s “ moral worth,” I leave to the people of this county to ascertain. To my knowledge, Air. Editor, there are four resident Clergymen in the county, and mv acquaintance is quite limi ted, perhaps the geqjleman, being a public man, might on rcfleclion’ipcrease the number in the neighborhood of a dozen—one he could not for get— one of the ablest of denom ination, who resides not three hundred yards from the gentleman’s own domicil, and if he would put himself to a little trouble, he might hear from him every Sabbath, as good a ser mofi as he httr.sel&ieould preach, though he took for his text, “ The wicked on- Increases his ranks, and public morals suffer mi^b.” Again he says, “ none are found philanthro pic enough to cast their labour of love in this : populous country.” Surely the geptleman must have suffered a great deterioration’ in a faculty of the mind, that used to afford him much self congratulation, and must have forgotten the Me thodist and Baptist preachers, who put up re gularly, each, once a month at his own house. But again he speaks, and who can withstand the appeal ? th at “ so far as gospel preaching h;i3 any influence, the people of this country are as’ destitute as the savage!” Has the gentleman I never attended .any of (he religiousanieetings 4ljjs county —in the CTierokee country? |p quarterly three days meetiMJ; tne‘sMi;J and the Sabbath . Schoow ‘orTalonega alid Auraria ? or d.ffe.s his assertion of the destitution of religious influence arise from the fact, that “ he thdt is giddy,thinks the world, turns round.” V - • Thus Mr, Editor, is the ,dm and substance of this pious, pathetic, sutftuA and “ appalling”, description of the dearth and religious influence, a slander upon the good people of this county, anti it haSPSppeared in a paper published at a disrancc, and is not the first mis representation to irljure the county, that has appeared in the public prints, I have taken tho liberty to request its contraction through the medium of vour paper, (pner re ports, hurtful tt? the good name of this county, have distant prints over anonymous signatures; hut tnis last bears all the authentici ty,the author’s real name can give it, Wc ad mire the prudence that dictated? that this sym pathising, philanthropic offspring ot tho gentle man’s imagination,'should have been sent to be matured from homo—else had its authenticity best remained in umbra anonyma. Thus much may suffice in noticing one “ who grasps at stars and fastens in the mud.” By way of parting admonition, I would nd viso the young gentleman to gratify his desire ot figuring in tho columns of a newspaper, in some other way, than by slanderous attacks up on the morals of this county; as by the selection of a more discreet theme, he wonld insure to himself, tba impunity he merits. AMICUS VERI. 53“ The Christian Index, and other papers which have published the letter of Mr, P. are requested to give this also, an insertion. TOR TIIR WESTERN HERALD. UNION PARTY. This appellation has been assumed by a par ty at Millodgeville composed of the shreds of ail parties, it is a collection of the “turpitudi and ignorance” of the land, whether it has all the component parts of the “beast” mentioned by Daniel the prophet, I will not say, it is cer tain however there is a great deal of brass and some “potters clay” in the composition, it is also said there is in the evening sessions of the party a good deal of 1 eel clay. The chief object of this “Union party” seems to be the dividing out the loaves and fishes amongst themselves in the distribution of which they give to the eleventh how men , notonly an equal share but nearly the whole, however it is probable before the sepe rate all will be gratified, as they are now busily engaged in making new judicial circuits; and if there should not bo space enough, to make as many as will satisfy all who may want Judg ships; the “Superintendant of the mightywork shop” will appoint some of them to agencies in the glorious work of turning such Indians out of possession as are found on the lands of his favorites, should any still be found unwilling to make an honest support by their own industry. “Jim Crow” and “Die in the ditch” will come in to the aid of “the Superintendant,”havc them made post masters, or enroling agents &c. “how we apples swim” what circuit in Georgia but found persons enough wil'iug to preside over it, no draft has ever been resorted to lor that office, candidates in abundance were found seeking those offices at every election, and yet this “Union party” are about to give away six thousand dollars a term for the purpose 01 doing that which could have been as well if not much better done without such expenditure, how long will the people of Georgia submit to be thus dupCd? ‘ WESTWARD 110.

History, in its - lenghened gallery, has not a single portrait on vhich the student will gaze with more adnairatioh and regret, or th'(Ujhita#pher with more surprise g/ufdoubt, thiWfhat of Aaron Burr. Tqjthjg ihomemt he is a puzzle. The early his career was all brightness; and evergnp’ moment when, eaugtX’fcrtoils of a supetsßrmind,he was dashed to thejearth blasted and -destroyed—we know not whether more to admire or Condemn.

History has no parallel for such a picture. Camillus’ disgrace was brief, and terminated bv a glorious reward; Marius left the ruins ot Carthage to feed fat his revenge upon his enemies; and even Belisarius was doomed to beg his obelus for a few dayH, when death laid him in an honored grave But Burr has contemplated his ow.i ruins tor more than a quarter of a century; has had during that long and bitter term, the poison ed chalice presented daily to his lips, has eat and drank and slept with the hisses of the world ringing in his ears. He has been guilty; but his guilt has general ly been misunderstood. It had nothing sordid or craven spirited in it. Burr’s treason was not the treason of Arnold; and though deserving of censure, he is also deserving of commiseration, Ho was ambitious— “Twasa grievous fault, But grievously bath CiE-sar answer it.” John Forbes, whose conviction for the mur der of Col.
