Ourselves.
We offer to our subscriber- a"a in another improve
ment in oar paper: we hope it will meet iheir appro
bation and continued support, notwithstanding a tri
finy difference is made in the terms Since our little
barque was first cast upon llic waters, she has visited
many parte —scarce a city in the United Stales but tha 7
i,i:c is “up tor." Her variety of freight makes her wel
come in every port, and the especial favorite of the La
ck: =, in consequence of her “ neat trimmings.” Iler
“sailing master" is particular to court theirfuvor, being
known to be a devoted luiic s-man, and is always sure
to bless their sight with a “ flytneniul,” orsoine sweet
‘■little love tale,” or an “elopement," or “Mi irriage
Evraordinary”—or something to catch the laughtcr
-1 ring eye of the fair one ; and then how the rogue
thu-kles at the idea of pleasing the ladies 1 But w e
v ill drop our metaphor and discourse common sense,
after paying our “ sailing-master" tlie compliment to
say, he keeps our “ little crab" in us neat and tidy a
way as the best of them, and though the packages are
n>t always of the most valuable kind, they are always
sure to be neatly done up; for, as he observes, “ they
are to be submitted to the ladies." This extreme par
tiality of our “ sailing master” for the fair is easily ac
counted for, being an extremity handsome man himself
he has had no small share of their praise and attemion,
which has so worked upon his benevolent heart as io
determine him to devote his life to tlreir service ; and
v. hich he has done in the most solemn manner. But
we were to discourse common sense, by the way, this
is an article in great demand, in consequence of its
scarcity—or, ra'her because it is more needed than any
oilier, ftehave a litt'e of itaboard, however, amongst
oilier matters, and shall proceed to deal it forth:
Ist. Common sense says that every man should take
at least one newspaper, and more if be can pay for
them.
2d. That he should pay for it—tn advance.
3d. You should never w rite Poetry unless you are in
spired, and cannot help it.
4th. You should never get angry with the Printer for
not printing it. He may have reasons you know net
of. s:h. Always send in your name, with your com
munication, for, by so doing, they meet w ith respectful
attention, if nothing more.
C. Never as* the editor the news, it is his duty to ask
thee, and then giva thee all at the appointed time.
7. Should you enter the printing office, never put your
Ur upon the type, else you make a pi that will cost
you more than sixpense.
8. Never trust that man, nor believe him, that will
expose the secrects about a printing office, for they, of
ai! others, should he kept. Depend upon it, he will ex
pose thine if thou trust him.
9. Shew thy neighbor (if ho does not) the importance
°fsubscribing to a newspaper; but do not over-per
euade him, lest he rspent and mourn over the loss of
h.s Three Dollars, and thereby suffer from thy zeal.
57r The following is an extract from a letter, of a cit
izen of Macon, who was wrecked on the Pulaski, to a
friend in this place:
“ Wilmington, (N. C.) June 23d, 1333.
“ My Dear Sir —Worn out with an accumulation of
misfortunes and anguish I pit down to write of my trou
bles. God knows I have had troubles —pecuniary and
persona!—and I have borne them like a man. Ah,

who stood by me, defended me, and never forsook me ;

imo a sound sleep, and about 11 o’clock at night, was
B'voke by a crash ; it did not seem to me very loud,
and was, perhaps, a minu'e in waking me up, as I was

most alone in the forward cabin, and 1 screamed fir
someone to open the door again and again, without a-

Monroe Rnl'-Road.
As many are not aware of the progressive atate sf
this Road, and as an unfavorable impression has gotten
posse sion of the mind 9 of some in relation to it, we have
been induced to obtain, and lay before our readers die
following information, which may be relied on as ccr
[ reef. Within thirty months from the commencement
of the Monroe Rail-Road, hence to Forsyth, twenty-five
miles will be finished, say by the first of November next,
and a portion by September. The iron for the who'e
road is received, and a large portion on the line, and
several miles of the superstructure already laid. The
first seven miles of this work is very heavy—so much
so, that visiters from abroad express their surprise that
so much work should have been accomplished in ro
short a time, and so little said in rtfcrance to it. The
enterprise is not likely to stop here. A survey has al
ready been made beyond Forsyth, twenty-two miles,
and about three miles located ; deeds for the right of
way having been taken to a considerable number.—
We have also ascertained from unquestioned authority
that it is the purpose of the Company to meet the Geor
gia Road, and form a junction with the Western and
Atlantic Rail-Road at the same time. These facts
place the matter in a different view from that entertain
ed by some unacquainted with tlie true state of things.
And it is to be hoped that the papers in the habit of no
ticing Internal Improvement in this State, will award to
this Company the justice that is their due. Ain ire en
ergetic body of men we believe do not exist in any
Company in the S'jte, than those who have the super
intendance of this Road.
Mr With pleasure we perceive by the perusal of a
Texas paper, (the Notional Banner,) that Edward L.
Holmes, our former feilow-townsman, has been nomi
nated as a candidate for Congress, to represent one of
t;e counties of that Republic. His talents are known
and appreciated by this community, and we rejoice to
see that they have likewise been in his adopted coun
try. The following is a copy of die fifth resolution pro
posed by the committee who were appointed to nomin
ate suitable candidates for Congress, and unanimously
adopted:
Resolecd, That the unimpeachable integri
ty and promising talents of Edward L. Holmes
Slave not been unobserved by the people of this
community, and the earnest w hich lie gives of
future usefulness, recommend him as a suita
ble candidate to represent tlie county of Mata
gorda.

57n The June number of the Sou h ta Literary Mes
senger is a valuable one, sustaining t a former high rep
utation. It contains Biographical sketches of Jeremiah
T. Chase, Daniel SlietHey, R iget B. Taney, N. Biddle,
and J unis Fenitnore Cooper, Esq. the great American
novelist. All of whom are and have been prominent
individuals in this country, and, consequently these
sketches must contain much of interest to tlie American
reader: we commend them to their perusal. We are
unable, at present, to notice all tlie articles in the Mes
senger, and must content ourselves with saying that
they are, so far as our reading goes, of great utility and
interest. There is, however, one which we must give a
passing notice : The Vissiludes of Life, by a lady.—
This, in interest, excels any of the articles of the sort
we have met with in a long course of reading. It is a
tale “ Os woman's wretchedness ; one to be read
Daily, in many a young and blighted heart.”
Its length prevents our inserting it la our paper as it is
our wish to da
We are gratified to learn, by a note from tire editor,
that there is no danger of the Messenger's “ suffering
shipwreck,” though some of her “ crew” have not
proved themselves trustworthy. The apprehensions
that some of tlie friends of the Messenger have been
under in consequence of the reported delinquency of a
large number of subscribers, may therefore be queiled
as it was not the extent supposed to be.
Below we give the editor’s appeal to his delinquent
subscribers, and the “ New terms for the remainder of
the present Volume only."
In consequence of repeated applications for
the Messenger for a less period tiian an entire
year, tlie Publisher has concluded to alter the
conditions, for the present year only, so far as
to receive new subscribers tor the remainder
of this volume—to commence with either the
May or June number : the eight numbers will
cost §3 34 ; the six numbers, (or half t ear,)
§3 50.
The heavy expense, which tlie publication of
the Messenger in its present style renders una
voidable, and the wish of the Proprietor still
further to improve it. makes it absolutely ne
cessary that he should hereafter receive all sub
scriptions invariably in advance.
Apjieal after appeal has been made to delin
quents, and still many withhold their just dues.
Why this is so, cannot be conceived, since it is
acknowledged, on all hands, that the Messen
ger is richly worth the amount charged for it;
no better evidence of which need lie mention
ed than tlie fact that the subscription price is
known to have been frequently paid for old
volumes.
As heavy drafts have recently been made on
the Proprietor, lor expenses incurred in estab
lishing and conducting tlie Messenger, it is
hoped those subscribers who are still in arrears
will immediately hand in or remit the amounts
they respectively owe; which, though small
when considered separately, yet, taken in the
’aggregate, present an amount of considerable
importance. In fact, if onehtlf the amount
due him could be obtained, the Proprietor would
be enabled to discharge every claim against
his publication at once : that done, he would
bring out tin: next volume of the Messenger in
anew dress, and improve it in many other res
pec’s.
Tie risk of transmitting subscriptions by
mail, will lie sustained by the Proprieto . But
every subscriber thus transmitting payment,
is requested (besides taking proper evidence
the fact, and date of mailing.) to retain a me
morandum of the number and particular marks
of the note sent.

Important Public Meeting.
Macon, June 22d, 1838.
Ii pursuance of the notice previously given
a large number of our most respectable citi
zens from the several political parties indis
criminately, met in the Court House in the
City of Macon for the purpose of lending their
aid in carrying out tlie Presentments of the last
Grand Jury in relation to the practice of Elec
tioneering by Candidates in this County’. On
motion of Gen. L. L. Griffin, the meeting
was organized by calling Mnj. Edward D.
Tracy to the Chair, and John J. Gresham,
Esq. to act as Secretary.
On motion of Gen. Griffin, a Committee

ments of the meeting on the subject pro; oced :
which Committee consisted of Messrs. James
A. Nisbet, Simri Rose. Wm. Solomon, Levi
Eckley, I). B. Butler, Jehu Campbell, and Dr.
R. 11. Randolph. The Committee retired
for a short time, returned and reported a Pre
amble and Resolutions which were taken up
by sections and after the adoption of the
amendments and substitutes proposed by Mr.
Cone, stand as follows—
Whereas the Grand Jury nt the last Term of
tlie Superior Court of Bibb County did recom
mend the suppression of the alarming evil of
Electioneering hv treating in Spirituous Li
quors and public Barbecues ; and whereas a
number of respectable citizens of this City,
have called a meeting to carry out the Pre
sentments of the Grand Jury 7 on that subject;
and believing that tlie Jury and the individuals
whose names were appended to that advertise
ment, were actuated by no other motives or
principles than to correct evils which prevails
to an alarming extent in our County, tending
to corrupt and demoralize a large portion of
our population, and destructive of tlie purity of
tlie elective franchise.
Be it therefore Resolved, That we will
support no Candidate for the Legislature or
other office in tbis County, who will himself
electioneer by treating in liquors of any kind,
or by giving Barbecues, or who wall place
motley in tlie hands of otlicrs to do so for
him.
Resolved further, That we will support no
Candidate for the Legislature or other office in
this County, who will either buy, or place mo
ney in the hands of a friend to buy votes in
any manner whatever to gain his election.
Resolved further. That we will not coun
tenance any individual who will either by false
argument or by force endeavor to induce a
nother to vote contrary 7 to that which his un
trammelled conscience shall dictate to him.
Resolved, That we will subscribe a pledge
to the foregoing effect; and that a Committee
of four from each Captain’s District, ire ap
pointed by tire Chairman, to obtain similar
pledges from the Citizens of their respective
Districts, and that tlie names of all such be
published in the public Gazettes of this place.
Resolved, That a Central Committee of

A FRAGMENT.
O’ whore Is ’he home of the shunVerinq dead,
Aid file laud where heir flatten:ig floras dwell ?
O! where have the souls of the lavhest fled
\V:.ea ton from our grasps by E entity’s spell ?
Have you sec a them hovering over tlie tomb
Where their ashes have fllcptin a quiet repose,
A® the ttiqhf win Is m mnifahy chaunteJ ’heir doom,
Or wept its chaste dews a? the tale of their wots;
While the Lght of the moon fell softly and sweet
O.i the bowers which hung o’er their b illowed re’reat?
Have you heard them on high in the still,toss of n ght
S .fiko tlie soft lay* of Music i:i he weaker spheres,
White the gloom of the skies obscured tr im your sight
The farni3 who were tuning such songs far your cars ?
Or 9hall there ne’er come o’er the living, a breath,
To whisper of those w ho are sleeping itt death ?
Met (links there are sounds on the wings of the breeze
Which none bat the sensitive spirit can hear,
As it sweep® with such majesty o'er the tall trees,
Or falls in such sweetness of tone on the ear.
I have heard. 1 have heard in tlie soft sully hour,
Such sounds breaking over this desolate waste {
Till my f-elings have bent at the shrine of their power,
And melted to listen tt music so chaste.
