MACON:
Saturday Manting, May 2», 1834.
&y~ 111 health is our apology for a meagre editorial the
present week.
3Kr There are a number of communications which
are continually floating in upon us without names, in
despite of our frequent published rule, “that no com
munication can be inserted without a responsible
name We hope that it will be unnecessary to advert
again to this matter, and also hope that it will fce re
membered that the rule will be strictly observed by us.
It lias been so cold, the last two days, that thick
clothing, and fires, have been indispensable. Thermo
meter ranging from Go to 62°.
The letter that succeeds these remarks, is copied
from the Weekly Herald, a crack paper of New-York.
It is edited by Bennett of notorious reputation for tal
ent, wit. and industry—three things, when well applied
might trip a steam-car, or “ bust” the Stone M mntain.
But with due deference for these “ bellipotent” endow
ments, we think that he failed to read the contribution
from Princeton, or else hurried over it too rapidly to no
tice the venomous spleen that must have prompted its
dictation. The writer relates a fracas between a Stu
dent from the S with, and a Jersey boy, and in doing so
throws a sarcastic allusion at the “ S luthern bloods,”
which certainly must have been inspired by some “ un
kind cut” of the willow tree, or a slap dash by way of
memento, from one of the “pinks of chivalry” as he
terms them. Now all who know the true Yankee
character, will never accuse them for want of fight.
If “any there be” that doubts it, let them test the fact*
and we promise that they will show pluck to the back
Lone. And as to the Yankee girls,
“There is no lass a’boon the Deo”
can rival them in face or in song. We verily believe
that even here in our beautiful little city “ far away
South,” we could make New-Haven blush by the con
trast of our “ Yankee lasses” with the fairest of her
own. In truth, we of the South are stealing the fairest
flowers from the par tens of the Delaware. Then why
should “ amicus” be so harsh as to sneer at the quick
spirit and dagger-speaking chivalry of the Southern
lads, when they would so readily wield them in their
I own kindred cause. Come, “Amicus,” let’s shake
hands and be friendly. Don’t snarl so— come on this
side the Potomac and we'll give you a more peaceable
I time of it, than you have with these young rebels at
I Princeton.
Princeton, March 20, 1839.
Dear Bennett, —Although ti constant read
ier of your valuable paper, yet never before
1 ve 1 been so much interested, or amused, as
r the true and graphic account of this place,
veil by your correspondent Amicus. Too
ag had Princeton remained unnoticed by the
lly journal which, by its unlimited circula
te, could give notoriety to any place. It
as unfortunate that your correspondent left
i 1 early. An event happened soon after,
hich threw the whole town into a state of
:citemcnt, and which has not yet been aba
\ou must know that in the institution at
is place there are quite a number of young
oods from the south. They arc sent here
rincipally for the purpose of keeping them
and of mischief, and of spending money in the
iost convenient way—the latter of which they
oto admiration On the day your corrcs
ondent left, one of those “pinks of chivalry’*
inught himself insulted at the table by a Jer-
Byman. lie left the room “brim full of
Irrath,” and with vengeance in his eye, told
is adversary to prepare for a cowhiding,
the Jersey man, not the least discomposed,
oiitinucd bis sacrifices at the shrine ol the
Hly-god until nature cried enough. He !ind
pt the room but a few moments, when his
jatagonist came up to him, bearing a club,
(lot unlike that used by the “Giant Despair,”
i Pilgrim's Progress of Bunyan,) and do
tatided an apology. “ (Jo to li—!1 with
our apology !” replied the study Jersey man.
this the southerner aimed a blow at the
'ad of his opponent, when the latter avoided
y clinching him.—Then commenced the
iniggle. “Dirk him,” cried one; “Hip his
amn soul out,” cried another ; “Hurrah for
>e south,” echoed the crowd. Northern men
ore there, but their courage lied neither in
loir mouths nor legs.
After the struggle had continued a few mai-
t’es, and tue Jersuynvtn wu obv oi-fy guj.
.ng the advantage, the Southerner drew a dag
ger, and stibbal hii opponent in the bark.
r.iis put an end to the conflict. Then were
xnrd curses loud and deep. O. e jumped
npo i the steps, and cried out, loud enough to
oe heard by the crowd, •• that every man who
carried a dirk, With the intention of using it
against his fellow students, was a coward, and
..e would maintain it.” lie wanted none to
back him, One poor leliow, wl.o is consider
ed rather deficient in the upper story, was for
i general fight between the North and South; ■
but, as he is rather to be pitied than feared, no
notice was taken of him.
Hat I am getting in advance or mv story.
Lpo i the deni trad on of the young norther
ner from the steps, a fellow, with leg; similar
to ram’s horns, stepped up to him, and asked
if he alluded to him in what he had said. The
former repeated his remarks; upon which the
latter drew a dirk and attempted to strike him,
but “lie bad got the wrong sow by the car.”
Tney both rolled down the steps, and at the
same time the dagger was taken away. V/iien
they arose, the one who had drawn the dagger
refused to continue the contest on equal terms,
but left the ground, doubtless recollecting the
okl mas ;
“ That he who fi alt's and runs away,
May live to fight another day.”
Tiiis concluded the squabble. The individ
ual dirked is now able to leave his room, and
will soon recover. lam told that the occur
rence continues to alFord much goss’p at the
tea tables of the town, and probably will until
something of more importance occurs, or un
til somebody shall again go to Washington
to wipe away the stigmas from bis character.
You cannot imagine, my dear Bennett, witli
what rapture your paper of the 29th instant
was received here. The girls are fairly be
witched. “Is it possible,” says one, “that
Bennett has at last heard that such a [dace as
Princeton existed.” “I wonder if be will
come to the next Commencement Ball,” sav
another. “ 1 hope so,” echoed a third. “ lie
writes such beautiful descriptions,” says a
fourth. “I’m sorry that his correspondent
did not see me,” responded a fifth. But I
must close this lengthy epistle. 1 have al
ready been requested by several fair ones of
the town, to hand you an invitation to the ball,
when I come to New York, which I shall
certainly do.
For the Son t born Post.
A Letter ftom William Harlow, Esq.,
To Ills cousin Robert Barlow; wherin, among odter
thing?, lie relates what betel him during the great fire
in Charleston.
Bear Cousin Bo 3:—While important mat
ters worthy of rembrance and circulation, are
fresh upon the mind, they should at all convert
ient times be registered for the good of others.
A firm belcef in the position I have assumed,
induces me to send you a few lines upon a sub
ject important to all -niy relations for
their immediate benefit and instruction. And
that I may do jestice to myself, and render the
observations 1 am goin to make, more interest
ing to you, I will commence by saying, that
about thrcc-and-threc-quarter weeks ago, I was
taken with a great longing for traveling, and
after much study upon ihc subject, I conclud
ed I would go to Charleston, it being a great
Southern sitty, and the expense not very great.
So the next day after 1 came to the conclusion,
I saddled old Soap Sticks and put out for War
rantor] ; and I got there just as the Old-boy
with his smoke, brimstone, fire, sut bags and
thundcrations reined up upon a public street,
to the great fright of Soap Sticks; and being
unused to such sights, he acted over his youth
ful days by way of sundry kicks, icarings,
pitchings, prancings and covortings, to the
great hazarding of my peace and bones. Fi
nally I hid his old worn-out carcase in a stable
where he would be well attended to until I re
turned, and immediately entered a long, green,
eight-wheeled waggon, which followed the car,
or cart, or whatever it is, ready for departure.
But plague the departure ! 1 sat there two long
hours stone still, and alone to boot, and not a
jot did the old thing move. After awhile the
bell rung and we put out backwards ! Yes,
Bob, backwards! for the black, smoking car
which carries all the rest, was behind, and I
with my face to it ; consequently, my back
was facing the way we were a-going. Such
mysterious facts may be unaccountable to you,
they arc nevertheless true. Nothing of great
importance happond that day; but the next
we were bothered on the South Carolina rail
road about eight hours, for this simple reason
—tlic night before, a locomotion with some
other small locomotions tied to her tail, run
clean, clear o(F the track, and tore it all to
smash a good ways. We had to stay their
until every tiling was fixed—whereby, we had
to travel about 70 miles in the night. But I
tell you what, Bob ! it wasn’t old Soap’s cant-
ering gallop, which is the top of iiis locomo
tion ; no, not bv a jug full, for she went with
a perfect freedom over creeks, rivers and
swamps, high and drv ; the sparks a flying and
I scared nearly into duck fits. We got to the
sitty at last—but every thing Was as dark as
my hat, for it was past one o’clock in the night,
and there he in no omnibustcr, or rather mo
ney busters there. 1 left on foot for a restin
place; and by following others, I was soon
way up yonder fast asleep, in a mazing high,
long and big house, called Shelton’s Hotel.—
Now, Bob, by way of moralizing, let me say
a word or two here. If, as I did in the dark
jrtcr of night, all people w.v.ild in disuejsiim
and irk circumstances of life, when all seems
bo:aeration and tanglenieat, unwilling to rely
upo l their own knowie !ge, follow the advice
and knowledge of others, they would ofen
•soon get oat of difficulty, perplexity an 1 dan
trer, a.id repo easl and. i tli.t night,mease and
safety.
Next mornin I walke ! here and there and
every whore. Bat before 1 sallied, lbvth, I I
hong it otic of the slickest, prettiest, geenteciist
*».ack hats you ever saw ; and more than all j
that Bob, a pair of boots. Yet I’m unfoitu- i
n i e, Boh; mv bat was so much nre ter than 1
I toy p \:z, tint every perso i thought it hid fhl
i lea into bad company. And my trow evs he
:mg none ol the longest, ! just could cover the
top o, my boots wall tue.n, and every steal
took, the boot legs flew backwards and for
ard ;, going Hop, flop, till at last a little terrapin
eyed, sandv-inirc i, saddle-nored, long.eared
so i ol a tinker, dvessed in calf-skin and wool,
called upon some of his com rads to “look at a
new ir i/king edition of Burke on the Sublime
and Beautiful,” pointing ;;t me, Bob. Now,
who Burke is, I can’t say ; but if bethought 1
was Iron Burke county, lie was mistakin ; and
us lor Sublime and Beautiful, i haven’t the
honor of their acquaintance. 1 finally went
in‘o a store and asked for elastic strops ; for 1
knew it the strops would not give way when
I set down, the scat of my britches would.—
And the feller after looking at mv condition be
low, banded me a great long pair of gallowses.
I left the house, as I do the subject now, without
further comment.
In tie evenm I went out on the big pond,
m a great long white ship called a steam-pack
et Neptune, nearly out o’ sight o’ land. By
jmg;! I felt the spirit of something—perhaps
poetry, working up my craw until it laboured
and brung forth my dinner. It was ns soul
and stomach a stirring time to me, as the
“days of ’76” to our progenies; for recollect
ing the British once were there, I felt martial,
bellipotent, bvllicon and belligor.erous. Futri
ot.c feelings swelled my heart as big as your
fist; and I just wanted to see that man Lord
Itawdon A his infernal trew, to fight his squad
by myself While (as I heard them sav,)
“Sonorous metal blowing martial sounds”
sent over the water the voice of glory and of
war. We came back, and feeling a kind of
goneness in the empty parts of my body, 1
made a terrible gap in Shelton’s table that
night.
But new, Bob, comes that which I would
willingly overlook ; which, were 1 chronicler
of past, present, and future, l could not put
down on paper without feeling curious all over.
1 went to the theatre to see what was to be done
there; and just about half past eight, by my
old regulator, someone hollowed fire !! One
or two men yelled fire !! in the house and then
run out; but I set stone still, and so did near
ly every one else. A sad sign that we lmrdly
ever act disinterestedly, Bob. When the
show was over I went out, and not far behind
the theater a great many houses were burn
ing. My souls w hat a fuss !! bells a ringin,
some a hollowing, horses blind-folded ruunin
away with carts to them, women a faintin’ and
runniu here and there with bundles, scream
in and cryin, men pale and tremblin, the
wind a blowin a perfect gusto, houses tumb
lin down on fire, the flame away up yonder,
sometimes by itself, a roarin and twisiin, large
coals o-fire flyin, and smoke as black as a
pot, covered the whole heaven. Thus it went
on, up King street and back and sideways ;
while about fourty thousand people, men, wo
men and children, and a great multitude of
yaller niggers, mixed and swarmed and run
over one another, sometimes under horses
heels and sometimes under five ingincs drawn
by niggers. Now and then, I could hear’em
say, “ yonder is a dead man, there’s a leg
broke,” and then, “stop that thief,” and then,
“get out of the v.ay down there,” and by the
time it was sTiid, out would tumble a box, or a
bed, or something else, fioin a window up
stairs. And fine clocks and glasses w ith gold
frames, and planners, and organs, and all
kinds of furniture, were broken in the streets;
and no wonder, for many wild horses with
carts and boxes, run against one another and
over people, knocking them down and break
ing every thing they carried. Mourning, cry
ing, shouting, bawling, screaming, laughing,
theiving, squealing, horses and pigs a burning,
removing the sick, the wounded and the dead,
all a goin on at once. Where was I, Bob?
Right there in rtic front of the hubbub, walkin
here and there, to see and here every thing that
was a goin on. But ah, me ! 1 soon got into
a dreadful fix. I was standin some where, in
the neighborhood of what is called the bend in
King street, when I heard a horn blow. Eve
ry person who had located in iny neighbor
hood, immediately imigrated to foreign parts ;
but l thought they had gone to sec a house a
burnin, or something else, so I was glad to be
left alone. But 1 thought he must he a hard
harted man, who could go about tootin a ram’s
horn on such an occasion. But just ns he
stop] ed, I thought old Nick had set fine to his
magazine; for I never herd such a confound
ed report in ail my life. 1 was about twenty
steps from a bouse that was blown up with
gunpowder. I decamped vvitli nmazin speed,
and when I stopped, 1 thought of a line the
boys used to read in school:
“Oh, for a hiding place in some vast wilderness,”
Some boundless contiguousness of safety.
For just at that time, the battle of Bunker’s
nil) would have been a bouse of refuge. Not
long after, a horn blowed, and as the buck
j runs w.ieii the hounds are behind him, so ran
las it the devil was at my heels. A wav I
went over women, children, men and lior.es
nor did I stop till I was tired nearly to death.
I iiad not stopped long, when another horn
i teew, and away I bounded again ; my head
i back, and my new Imt in my hand, coat tail
stra g .t behind, and my boots a flopping, and
i.u t,.i I p.n.red iike a iizzard. I sloped on
the corner of Mectin street, and one unknown
to this deponent, where stood a great big yah
lea nigger eiy in and blunherin about bis burn
in house., Says he “I pray the fire will stop.’ j
“Amen,” sani I. W.nereupon he applied his
fingers to his core arid blew a blast louder
■ t ’ Kin hi'men trumpets. I did not wutto s y
farewell, but put out immediately, thiukin an
other non re Was about to be blowod up. As 1
" run in along L ist Biv street, a sailor was
ci UiZiiig along t.ie co ist with a thrce-pro:;ged
p;tc*;ifork in his hand, and without furling a
s lil, followed close in my wake, and boarded
me astern wit!) his grapplin irons ; m akin three
mark s oil my private log-book. Such pirati
cal inc roach meats upon my reserved rights,
caused me to shorten sail, ho.st mv flag and
snow figiit. Tiie iiietny then hauled round on
my inrhord side and made plain sailing for the
sea. I soon came into a street where there
were few people, and was walkin slowly, look
m away od yonder at that mortal big tavern
burnin. Now it happened that an old ladv
come down the street, rolling a barrell of some
dim, in a dog trot mcetin me : she was lookin
down at the barrell, and I up yonder at the
burmn tavern ; consequently, her barrell took
me just between the knees and ancles, which
stoppe I the motion of my legs, while the mo
tion of my upper story was increased ; so at
her I went, her head lodgin in the neighbor
hood of the short ribs, my hands on the pave
ment, my heels in the air. The old crazy
tli ug squalled and crept from under me, while
the light of the fire enabled her to call me a
freckled.faced taller depot. There l stood, the
“Grecian bend,” my hands on the affected
parts, breath knocked out, bat gone and the
people a laughin. .She called me an insolent,
good-for-nothing, pale-face, frost-bitten, scape
gallows :
tyiy? TANARUS, oh hush, and wo parted,
She with her rum, and 1 broken hearted.
My pretty hat with three long thrip-a-hun
dred segars had vanished ; and such misfor
tunes betel me all that night, men in uniformity
coats and caps witli blunderbusses, went every
where, while the firemen with their plaguev
j waggons run over me several times; all of
which frighted me very much. While one
corner of the theater was burning, a man
walked out to the place on top of the house,
and in smoke and fire, tried to cut the burning
part off with an axe ; all the firemen and eve
ry body else stopped work and hollowed huz
za ! huzza! and my shrill pipes occasionally
struck in utter tins sort, pz-zav. I thought of
a man I once heard of, named Nero i think,
who was fiddlin while Rome wis hmaiinij :
for though the man deserved praise, t, e souse
needed water more. So lo help them, 1 went
to the water thing to catch hold of a ero is han
dle the men were working up a I down ; and
happenin to walk too clo e, the first time she
went up, she took me under the chops in such
a manner, that my lantern jaws popped like a
steel trap, and sent me off on my back to at
tend to my own business. When daylight
come I left the fire, which was checked soon
aftei, for the cars, and since that time, my Lump
of Loeomotioancss, which Frenologcrs cal!
the desire of traveliin, has sunk to nothin.—
My love to all.

C ominunieated,
The Fire Departm -at.
Mr. Editor : —Please allow me a small portion of
i your paper, merely to call the attention of our City
I Council to the condition of our Fire Department. If I
recollect aright, about eighteen months since a public
! meeting of the citizens of Macon was called for the pur
pose of “ forming an effective Fire Department.” The
meeting was well attended—sundry resolutions were
| drawn up and adopted—and, finally, two Companies
were formed, chartered by the Legislature, and the City
Engines delivered to them by the proper Authorities,
with the assurance that they would render the said Com
panies all the assistance in their power. Since which
time, to my certain knowledge, the City Council have
appropriated two hundred dollars for refitting the said
Engines, &c. ; sundry petitions, fioin the Companies,
have been sent in to the Council praying improvements
in that Department, all of which were “ read the first
time” and . It appears that there is a great lack
of interest manifested towards this Department not on
ly by our City Council, but by many citizens possessing
property of great value.
Because Macon has so far been exempted from the
“ devouring element,” we should Not, for a moment,
think that she will always be blessed in the same man
ner. It behooves our City Council to examine into the
condition of our Engines, Engine Houses, &c. and to
cause a monthly report to be made to them by the Head of
the Fire Department. When this is and jne, the change
will have been commenced ; but as long as there is no
interest taken in this Department by the Council, (a
number of citizens having already expressed their ob
jections to the Fire Companies, on account of their be
ing exempted from certain duties,) it cannot be expec
ted that the members of the Fire Companies will show
any further disposition to perform the duties devolving
upo.ithcm, as h y mu3t be aware that th dreffir s will
be vain, in case of fire, unless they are assisted by the
City Council, and countenanced at least, by the citizens;
nor can it be expected, that the Companies, without
I capital, can cause an “effective Fire Department” to
!be maintained. Look to it, 1 pray vou.
