MACON:
Saturday Morning, September 1, 183:3.
We dislike apologies. So docs every body else. But,
nevertheless, they are sometimes necessary. In this
case, however, an apology is not necessary Our read
ers will not grumble with us, because we pen so little
ourselves. They rather prefer the nrticlesof ourcorres
pondents, together with those that are selected. It is
not the province of an editor to fill his paper with his
own matter, whether it be good or no, but rather to make
judicious selections that arc suited to their taste, and
useful to his readers generally. If we have accomplish
ed this object, we feel that our duty to our subscribers has
been done. It is quite an easy matter, when par
ty feelingis excited, to write party slang. We have no 1
identified ourselves with any party, (we speak of the les
ser distinctions of party ns now existing among us,) for
the reason, that wc have always thought there was am
ple room in our State for a literary and miscellaneous
publication, and that it would meet with support. Our
judgment has not been disappointed in this matter. —
We have endeavored to establish a miscellaneous pa
per, to be of general use, to be suited to the homes and
firesides of all, and a welcome visitant in every society,
and useful companion in every vocation. To effect this
object, we hate labored under many difficulties and in
conveniences which we hope time will rectify, and which
few can understand, save those who have undergone a
similar trial and been acquainted with the vexations and
mishaps attending anew publication, when ample
means cannot bo commanded. Inexperience, too,
brings with it its attending evils, which tipje alone can
Ameliorate, by wearing off its rougher edges and polish
ing it to a bettertaste. With oursecond volume, we hope
to bring to hear more extended means and new energy,
in the acemplishment of our original object.
£tCr Our citizens are returning.' from the North, this
season, earlier than usual. They find warm, dry, and
dull times with ns, but very little sickness. We shall
rejoice when they have all returned in safety, and our
streets are again teeming with business and animated
life.
The two last numbers of the “ New-York Mir
ror” has been embellished with beautiful engravings of
the Giraffes, and their method of transportation; also,
a lengthy and interesting history of the species. They
are to be removed to the South, for the winter, after a
short tour in the western States.

Political Religionism. — By a Southron.
This is an able vindication of Southron rights and
our republican institutions, in general, from the foul
aspirations of clerical fanatics and foreign monarchists,
who take every opportunity to decry the stability of our
Republic, and predict, in their highways and byways,
its ephemeral existence. Tips great experiment, to
which the eyes of the whole world are turned, in its
process of trial, lias thus far stood the ordeal, to the dis
appointment of all, save her own true sons. It has al
ready withstood many trying and severe tests, and her
devoted sons may confidently look to its continuance;
for every trial past is a strengthening bond for the fu
ture ; a beacon, to warn the daring voyager from the
shoals and quicksands of an unknown sea. This arti
cle we must p'ace upon our sheet, notwithstanding its
great length, and solicit for it a perusal. The following
are the contents of die present number. We have not
time or space fora critical examination of its papers:

Herald Office, )
St. Augustine, Aug. 28, 1838. j
A negromanJbelongingftoL. Kingsley, Esq. who was
taken from Drayton's Island, some time since by In
dians, returned to town on Thursday evening last. He
states that he was captured by the party, and carried
to an island, which it took them six days to reach. He
says that there are a large number of Indians, as heex
presses it—“ plenty, plenty, plenty*;" but as he is an old
African, he has no very extended idea of numbers, and
but little correct knowledge can be obtained front him.
He can give no idea of the direction he travelled. He
was six days in returning. He was dealt with hardly,
and had but little food given hitn, which doubtless ren
dered him more anxious to effect his escape.

Sir The following letter, from one of the Officers o»
board the United States ship Vincenness, dated “ Off
Cape 7/enry, midnight, August 18, 1838,” is front the
New-York Times :
“Sir—l have just thought it might be a satisfaction
to you to know something definate about the Exploring
Expedition. Oar ship, the Vincennes, is a first class
sloop of war, of 750 tons, commanded by Charles Wil
kes, Esq. She lias had a light spar deck put upon her
which gives her the appearance and some of the com
forts nnd conveniences of a small frigate. Her usual
battery of 22 guns, is reduced to 8, and a correspond
ing reduction of her compliment of upwards of 200 men
to 150 men, including scientific gentlemen, of whom
wo have three, and one horticulturist. The Peacock,
Wm. L. Hudson, Esq. commander, is a second class
sloop of war, of the some construction, 600 tons burden
—the same reduced battery, a crew of 130 men, inclu
ding three scientific gentlemen The store ship Relief,
A. K. Long, Esq. commander, is 450 tons burden, has
6 guns, and 75 men, and the remaining two of the sci
entific corps. The brig Porpoise, lieutenant Cadwaller
Ringgold, Esq. commanding, is 208 tons, lias 4 guns,
and 65 men and officers in all. There are also two pi
lot-boat-schooncr, recently purchased, (late the Ncw-
Jerscy and Independence, of your port.) The first now
called the Sea Gull, commanded by passed-midship
man James Reed, is 110 tons burden, and has 15 men.
The second now called the Flying Fish, cimmanded
by pßssed-tnidshipman Samuel Knox, is 90 ten*, and
has 13 men all told. The squadron left Hampton Re;*},
this iii«inoon, and are now oil the pitch of the Capt,
and the pika-boat about to leave no and sever the la-t
link that binds us to home and native land. The squad
ron makes a fine, imposing appearance. IFe have a
fine breeze, and all are as cheerful end liappv as could
be expected in the circumstances. The Expedition is
now' fairly off, and you may tender our countrymen oar
sincere and hearty farewell and congratulations on the
occasion. In great haste, your ob’t. serv’t."
By the recent arrival from Canton, we
learn that the exports of Teas to the United
States, from the 10th of July, 1837, to the
Ist of April, 1838, were 212 piculs Congo,
22,122 do. Souchong, 1.718 Pouchong, 1,100
Pecco, 3,750 IJyson, 34,995 Young Hyson,
4,770 Hyson Skin, 171 Twankay, 5,169 Gun

ports to Great Britain for the same period,
were 170,420 piculs, or 23,523,733 lbs. of
Black Teas, and 40,835 peculs, or 0,244.060

Matrimony, as it Should Be—A Union of
Hearts.
Os all the good by Heaven design’d,
To soothe the passions of mankind—
There’s none that yields a purer source,
Amidst life’s complicated course.
A state where all the virtues blend.
And genial beauties all transcend ;
Unfetter’d by a cold restraint.
Nor poison’d by deception's taint.
Endear’d by sympathies so kind.
That every impress on the mind
Shares its weight of good or ill—
Enhancing or depressing still.
Bright’ning every bright desire,
By doubling intellectual fire;
Strength’ning every impulse pure
By energies that both endure.
Comprizing every social joy
Ordain’d for man, without alloy ;
A holy institute of love,
Approved by records from above.
Fair virtue, by Religion shrin’d,
In union, hearts forever bind,
The strongest link beneath the skies,
And purest pledge that honour ties. M.

Dr. Jfculilef t Celebrated Eye Water for ln
damatioH and Weakness of the Eyes.
rgtHE great advantages of this infalible remedy places
A it as a general appendage to families, and a con
stant vade-mecum to Inc traveller. This Eye Water is
prepared with the greatest aarr, and has never been
known to fail in effecting a speedy and safe restoration
of the diseased organs. It is useless to attach any cer
tificates by way of praise or recommendation. The
reputation and immense sale that has attended Dr.
Scudder’s Eye Water, is the fairest proof of its utility
and beneficial tendency ; it has been the means of
preserving sight to many of the afflicted, from the help
less infant to the aged parent. Thousands of letters
have been received by Dr. S. within these few years,
containing flattering remarks relative to this Eye Wa
ter—and the cures effected by it, have been set forth as
wonderful beyond precedent. Dr. Scuddcr confidently
recommends this Eye Water as a safe and valuable
remedy—and he trust that his experience as an Occu
list, to weigh against the gross impositions which are
daily practised on the public by advertisements of dif
ferent kinds of Eye Water, many of which are unsafe
to use. Prepared'by Dr. John Scudder, Occulist and
inserter of Artificial Human Eves. A supply of the a

PATENT MACHINE SPREAD
STRENGTHENING PLASTER.
IN the preparation of these very Superior and Ele
gant Plasters, no cost or trouble is spared to ensure
possible degree of perfection, in point of utility, elegance
and comfort. They are spread of various sizes on kids
of the best quality, by Machinery, invented expressly for
the purpose, (which gives them an advantage over every
plaster heretofore offered to the public) as by this means
they can be made of a uniform thickness, and free
from the inequality of surface which frequently prevents
others from adhering, or renders them irritating and
uncomfortable, an objection, which it is impossible to
avoid by the usual method of spreading Plasters
The composition used in these Plasters, is carefully
prepared at a lower temperature, from a combination o
valuable Resinous Gums, with the ad-mixture of sever
al choice aromatics, entirely separated from all extra
neous and irritating particles; and from its peculiar
combination of highly strengthening, anodyne and
slightly stimulating j/ruperties it affords a pleasant and
effectual remedy, in all cases of pain in the side and
breast, weakness or oqtpression of the chest; jtain or weak
ness of the bark or loins ; Also, in the sense of sinking j
and faitness at the pit of the stomach, accompanying 1
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. In Rhematie, or pain
ful allections of the limbs or joints, their Anodyne and i
Stimulating properties render them particularly benefi- |
cial. In Colds, Coughs, or Asthmatic Afiections, they 1
will be found to give immediate and permanent relief.
Persons who from sedentary habits, or other causes, are !
predisposed to affections of the lungs, will find these
I’l-sfers an effectual security against those pulmonary •
attacks which prove but two frequently, (when neglect
ed) the precursory symptoms of Consumption; and in
deed in a climate like ours, where colds snd coughs are j
an almost unfailing consequence of the sudden changes j
to wnich all are subject, every one at all liable to suffer !
from the influence of these causes would find the great- j
cst possible security in having his chest and lungs pro- j
teeted by one of these invr'uable Plasters.
To children suffering from 1\ r hooping Cough, or :
Colds affecting the chest or lungs, the. sedative and ano- i
dyne properties of these Piasters, afford signal relief.
These Plasters being spread much more rapidly, as
well as better, by Machinery, are sold much lower than
Plasters spread in the usual method.
