cutes, she said, “You are quite taciturn this
evening, Mr. Barlow.” He, he, he, who's
( 1C 1 grinn’d I, as 1 planted both heels on the
same chair I was sitting in, and affectionately
embraced my shanks with both arms. Tne
dvc was cast ; she burst into a fit of laughter;
rose suddenly to run, upset my chair, and I,
being doubled up in it like a ball, had nothing
else to do. but to lie upset too. I rose ns soon
as I could, half choked, with the chair dang

surplus ends of my cravat which, unknown to
me. had been hanging down in uncovered
glory, and tied them to tiie back of the chair.
Filled with shame and confusion, I turned niv
feet unto tin; path which led to the house of

thrown on my feelings, increased the ardor of
my love ; I resolved, straightway, to unbosom

respect. I ponder’d on the "subject on my

•concluded I would write a piece of poetry for
her Album, and, in the letter, express my feel
ings for her. I hardly knew what poetry was;
vet, love being the essence of poetry, my un
tutored heart swelled with emotions too big
for utterance, and too holy to be lost e’er they
had been communicated to their source. When

to and fro—scratched my head, and—oh,
horrible catastrophe!—tlie idea entered my

When morning came, I sent it post haste to

moments I spent in waiting for the return of
an answer, and happiness in the success ofmv
mental effort to captivate. The answer came; 1
souglrt the woods, that in loneliness I might
behold the assurance of her favor, and feel tlie
'ey of mutual love. I pressed the precious
messenger to my breast, and with trembling
hands and palpitating heart, 1 broke the seal—
Oil! most horrible catastrophe! just see the
answer :
Warren County, Dec. 26th, 18—.
Sir : —An expression of sincere affection
would never meet with contempt from me;
on the contrary, I would regard it as an honor,
and fed grateful for such a mark of esteem
and preference. But. sir. the design of your
letter is plain and undisguised; insult to a lady,
no honorable man would suffer to puss unre*
seated in his presence, much less offer. The
conclusion I have unavoidably come to, is,
that you are either a scoundrel or a fool; either
character is beneath the notice of a high mind
el lady. I cannot conclude without observing,
that poetry is always acceptable to me,but mea
sured nonsense is extremely disagreeable, es
pecially, when vanity prompts the bard, (as
it certainly did you,) to make yourself tlie
“ hern of the story.” L. J.
“ Scoundrel or fool,” what an alternative ! !
“ Hero of the story !” ten times worse !! L
went home, the victim of shame and despair ;
iny pride wounded ; tlie honesty of my inten
tions, and the purity of my feelings questioned
and contemn’d. I determined to smother the
feelings which agitated-my breast, and forget
tlie being who had wounded my sensibility, by
spurning, in so ungracious a manner, the ex
pression of my artless love. Since age has
added experience to my knowledge, and dis
passionate feeling has succeeded to wild love,
I have not blamed the act of the high minded
girl; on the contrary, I admire her noble and
cutting resentment of that which she thought
was a premeditated insult. I have, also, de
duced the following “ notions ” from the history
of“ my first Love-Letter.” to wit:
Ist. Excessive pride generally meets with
a corresponding degree of abasement.
2nd. Ignorance is the mot her of many evils.
3rd. Correct motives acted out in ignor
ance, are often regarded ns impure.
4th. The productions of an untutored mind
are extremely silly iu the eyes of knowledge.
(Corollary.) Taste is more improveable
than we are generally aware of.
sth. Great expectations generally end in
great disappointments.
6th. Weakness in man is disgusting to wo
man.
7th. A love-letter and “ Alhrim ” sketch,
onoe brought “ this child a button Jude lower.”

MACON:
Saturday Morning, August I, 1838.
*- , .....
fcT* The weather, the past week, has been exceed
in irk- warm, dry and sultry. Crops, in this vicinity, ore
suffering for the want of rain ; the crops of corn will be
materially injured by the drought, though it has been
heretofore quite promising, o* we learn they are, gener
ally, in most parts of the State, The health of onr city
at present is good, and, as far as we have been able to
ascertain, every prospect for its continuance. There
was a fine shower, however, yesterday.
Another letter from onr friend “Bifly Barlow”
this week : it would be superfluous to solicit for him
a perusal, as his former letters have been univer
sally received with applause. He has changed his
style, and by the assistance of “Jonathan Snip, Scool
Teceher,” presents his opinions and notions, &.c. in
improved grammar. \Veafenotso sure that Master
Jonathan will enhance the value, or interest of Billy’s
letters, though he has much improved their style ; the
one in question, however, is nevertheless a very good
one, as our readers will perceive on perusal. But come
in what shape they may, they have been alwaj's accept
able to us, and to tur readers, not only for the amuse
ment they contain, hut for the well-directed shafis of
ridicule he occasionally sends with a sore aim, towards
various manners, customs, haMts, See. Ac.
tttr The remarks of the “ St.vannali Gecrgian," in
relation to the Central Rail Road, (in another part of our
columns,) must be gratifying to every friend of internal
improvement; and especially those connected with Ma
con, and identified with her interest. The prospects of
the Road are good ; the work is going on with a rapidity
worthy the intelligent ard enterprizing Directors. A
rew Locomotive Engine has been recently placed on
the road, called the “Macon.” from the manufactory of
M. VV. Baldwin, Philadelphia, in compliment to our
city. The Editor looks forward to the day, when lie
shall be one, with a multitude of the citizens of Savan
nah, who shall arrive at our city by the aid of this en
gine. “How joyous would be that day.” Yes, to M..*
con it will he a day of joy, and of triumph over that ig
norance which would pall the energies of improvement
and blight its onward movement. And we look for
ward to the day when we shall be one of a multitude
that shall greet the Editor and his friends on their ar
rival in our city, with as loud tokens of joy as onr six
pounder can belch forth, and as ninny bumpers of ge
nerous wine, as shall make glad the hearts of all. I Clio
now will support the ignorant, niggard legislator, that
would withhold from the State her greatest source of
wealth, her proudest monument of the march of mind ?
None, none, we hope. Let this be a “ test question”
at the polls. If he be internal improvement
man, enst him off, of whatsoever party, or by w hatso
ever name he may be called. They are among the
great interests of the country, and in which every citizen
s L ould feel a deep and lively interest. But we antici
pate no longer the determined opposition of ignorance;
the shackles of prejudice have been torn up, and the
interest of the State will be brought to liear in favor of
internal improvement. The people are awake to their
interest in this regard, and though a great deal has been
done without the favor of legislation, much more can and
will be done with it. The time is fast passing away, when
people believed that the customs and acts of the olden
time were, in all respects, correct and right, and that it
would be a sin to depart from them, and we now have
a right to look for belter things. He is not fit for a
legislator who cannot act upon his own judgment with
an eye to the future, without searching all the records
of the past for an example for his conduct. Such men
are not wanting now-a-days, ’tis high time they were
laid on the shelf, the people have no further use for
them.
There are about sixty stores and dwelling houses
now in progress of building or completion in the burnt
district in Charleston. We are highly gratified at the
rapid progress this enterprizing city is making, in rising
from the extensive ruins created by the late fire ; and
predict for her yet, a glorious destiny. Her known
hospitality to the stranger, was not forgotten in the hour
of her distress, and thousands promptly stepped forward
to her aid.
The times are growing squally; party excitement is
beginning to foment, and will soon commence to boil
over. Well, we promised not to meddle with these mat
ters, though it is quite hard to keep from looking on :
we shall try to keep a good distance for fear we may get
scorched a little by the high temperature. It is amusing,
however, to watch the “ movements, doings, and so on.”
Sometimes the sight is rewarded with a summerset,
sudden and impetuous, and the Rubicon is passed by
simply a turn-over. There a lusty fellow is bearing about
among the waves with no certain direction, catching
here and there at his old tattered and torn notions—
some scramble back, and some scramble on—and some
dodge about on the midway, with a skill that baffles all
enquiry as to where he was last, or where he is now.
The greatest question of the times, at any time, is corn
ing up for the people to decide. A momentous ques
tion—a political era—a date from whence all of good is
to spring, or all of evil, to this wide spread and once
flourishing country. It will not do for politicians to be
caught napping now, they must be wary and watchful,
to be sure and strike in with the popular current, (we
speak of office-seeking politicians, those who succumb
to party inanauvring for party emoluments, not he
who is one from the conviction of principle,) in which
many will be overwhelmed, no doubt. Let the peo
ple watch well their public servants ; lay upon their
oars, as the time is not yet come for action, and keep
up an observant watch, and act when action is ne
cessary, with judgment and foretime reflection. The
South is at present in a peculiar situation, with re
gard both to her monied and political relations with the
North, and deliberation should mark her course, as
there is ample time for it before the final issue.

STEAM BOAT EXPLOSION.
The boiler of the Mary Express, exploded
on Wednesday, at Biakely, while waiting for
the mail. About two feet of the centre boiler
was rent —the wltoel house blown to fragments
and a part of the upper deck. The chimney
was carried at least about one hundred feet high
and fell in the river—pieces of the pipes and
deck were thrown several feet beyond the
boat. There were about twenty passengers,
all of whom miraculously escaped, no one
being injured. .Mobile Examiner.
Mr. John Van Buren, Governor Cass and
Col. Thorne were presented to the Queen at
her levee, held June 20, being the anniversary
of her Majesty's accession.
CENTRAL HAIL ROAD.
Otir attention has heen attracted by a splcn.
did new Locomotive Engine, lately placed on
the road, from the manufactory of M. W.
Baldwin, Philadelphia. This beautiful ma.
chine is called the “ Macon,” in compliment
to our sister city ; and wc hope some day to
have the pleasure of being one of a multitude
of sur citizens who will enter that city by the
aid of this engine. I low joyous will be that
day. Many of out readers recollect the en
thusiasm which pervaded the whole of the
“ empire State,” when the first boat passed
along the great Canal. The tremendous feu
de joie that resounded through the whole extent
of that great work announcing to tlie delighted
citizens that the boat had started '■—the whole
city—the whole State, was given up to iov and
festivity—a proud day for New-York—nor
was this all an idle dream—the hopes and ex
pectations of the most sanguine friends of the
scheme have been fully—yen, ten fold realized.
Yet this great undertaking had its opponents
and bitter enemies, but now tliey “ hide their
diminished heads.”
But to return to our Rail Road—on enqui
ry as to tlie progress and prospects of the
work, we ascertained the following facts :
The road bed is graded to the extent of 73
miles. The rails are laid 35 miles, the cars
running that distance, and the Macon mail
and passengers are now carried 30 miles on
the road. This shortens the time between
this city and Macon about 4 hours ; a connec
tion with the stage line will be made in a few
days 10 miles further up. Tlie contractor for
laying superstructure is pushing on with a
heavy force at the rate of about 11-2 miles
per week.
The grading is under contract to a point 79
miles from this city, and on Wednesday of
next week, contracts will be extended to 100
miles, and the road will lie graded that distance
by the first of January next.
The force on the line is now about 400
men. Two parties of Engineers arc now ac
tively engaged in definining the line from the
Ogccchee upward, and the result of their sur
veys shows a more favorable route than was
originally calculated on.
The inhabitants of Burke county are awak
ettirig to the importance of a connection by
means 0 a branch between our road and Au
gusta, via \VaYnesborough—and if wc may
be permitted to express an opinion on the sub
ject, we have no hesitation in saving, that no
Rail Road pro : ect in the State offers a fairer
promise of profit than this hranc' 1 . A public
meeting is called at Wayncsborough, on the
Ist Monday in August, to deliberate or! the
subject. We say, “ God speed them in the
good work.” Sav. Georgian.
SUICIDE BY THE TEXAN MINISTER.
We learn from the Lexington, (Ky.) Intelli
gencer. of the !7tli ult. that Peter W. Gray
son, Esq. of Texas, committed suicide at
Bean’s Station, a few days before, by shooting
himself, with a pistol, through the head. Mr.
G. was on his way from Texas to Washing
ton City, having received and accepted from
the Government of Texas, the appointment of
Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States.
The act, it is said, was committed with much
deliberation. Mr. G. was a native of Ken
tucky.
THE DEATH OF MR. GRAYSON.
Jno. G. Todd, late a Captain in the Texian
navy, hns published n letter stating that Mr.
Grayson was not the Minister from Texas to
this Government. He was appointed but de
clined. lie was on his way to Baltimore to
attend to the procurement of a naval force for
Texas, at the time of his melancholy disease.
Mr. Joseph Stephenson, of Madison countv,
(Ky-) committed suicide on the Ist ult., by
shooting himself through the head with a rifle.
M rs. Elizabeth Ulversort, of Gurraud coun
ty, (Ky.) was found dead in the barn of her
husband, Mr. JohnG. Alverson, on the 3d ult.,
having hung herself with a rope attached to one
of the joist".
EXPORTS AND IMPORTS OF COTTON.
The quantity of Cotton exported from the
United States during the year ending Septem
ber 30th, 1837. was 438,924.560 lbs, Sea
Island, 5.286.971 lbs. Tne value of the whole
63,240,102 dollars.
TO PREVENT THE RAVAGES OF CATERPILLARS.
We have just been informed by a friend, on
whose candour we can place tlie most implicit
confidence, that injury to tlie trees from these
destructive insects may be effectually prevented
by introducing a little sulphur into the tree, ns
deep as tiie wood, so that it will come within
the range of tlie sap. This is true of fruit ns
well as of other kinds of trees. Onr informant
states that at the time he was informed of this
fact lie had a Weeping Willow much infested
with caterpillars which hud withstood all at
tempts to remove them. He then inserted
some sulphur, and at that time the sap being
in free circulation,-its influence was perceived
within twenty-four hours. The caterpillars
took up their line of march and the tree was
left without a single worm.

Readings For Children will lie furnished, with a
wood cut generally accompanying. Our object here
will be to interest and amuse the rising generation.
Tiie Music of the stage needs reformation, and it will
become our duty to point out, as far as possible, several
improvements which are absolutely required by the
rapidly increasing intelligence of die community.
To THE L vlies we have a word to say ; we shall not
forget their interests ; balls, parties, and ihe fashions
w ill claim our notice freonently, and receive such at
tention as will please. We are fully aware, that to len
der our paper agreeable, we must receive the patronage
and encouragement of our fair friends. We shall en
