CONVERSATION ON ART.
Blest be the art that robs the grave of youth.
That gathers freshness from the blooming check,
And radiance from the sparkling eye, e’er age
Ha* blanch’d the rose or diaim'd the beauteous gem-
Corporal Zeke.
Mr. and Mrs. Simpson were good natnred,
week-headed creatures, and their daughter,
Sophia, a lovely lookin hope for any family,
was very similar to her lovin parents. Jeff, a
little red-headed urchin, their only son, was
cross and crabbed, with more shrewdness
than the rest combined. In the winter of
1821, Miss Sophia returned from Reedy
Creek Academy ; accomplished, we will ad
mit, without debate, in her own estimation,
and in the eyes of her affectionate parents.
1 was at their house, the week after Miss So
phia returned from school, and Mr. Thomas
Thornton, a genteel, well-disposed, intelligent
young man, was also there; lookin, perhaps,
for a fair one, to whom he might pay his dis
tresses. We were seated before a blazin fier.
Mr. and Mrs. S. in one corner, Mr. T. and
Miss Sophia in the center; while Jeff, with both
feet on the top round of his chair, and I occu
pied the remaining corner.
“My dear,” said Mrs. S. “we must get a
painter as soon as possible, to paint Sophy and
Jeff- —their likeness I mean.”
“ Why, 1 should think, that Sophy could do
it,” drily replied Mr. S.
“ Oh, my dear father, me never painted fa
ces at school, I am sure I would not like
it If they did ; a small basket of flowers, or a
peach, is much prettier, I am sure.”
-“The human countenance,” said Mr.
Thornton, “ with the mysterious expression of
the mind is much more noble than the gayest
wreath, and much more worthy of the efforts
of genius.”
“Oh dear, I don’t think so ; if you were
to soe some of the paintings at Reedy Creek,
you would never think of portrait painting
again.”
“ I am quite certain, Miss Sophia,” said
Mr. T. “that you have never examined the
subject fully. When Rubens and Titian, and
Raphael, and Vandyke, and Rembrandt, and
Salvator Rosa, and Angelo, and Carracci, and
our own West.’
“ The Lordy Massey,” said Mrs. S. “I
never heard father mention and of these men
in my life, and I am sure that he would have
known them, for he was in the army from the
day the battle of Lexington was fought till the
surrender at Yorktown. For my own part,
I agree with Sophy, Reedy-Creek Academy
has painters as good as any in the world.”
Mr. T. at first smiled, then a shade of gloom
settled for a moment upon his countenance,
perhaps the thought that he would have to hunt
larther for a wife, entered his head. lie pro
ceeded, “ I was about to state t .iat when these
men, though only two of them devoted much
time to portrait painting, are forgotten, then I
will visit Reedy-Creek, to see how the arts
have been improved. Only one ot those I
mentioned, lived during our Revolution, the
others were natives of Italy and Holland, and
belonged to what are termed the Dutch Vene
tion and Florentine schools.”
“ I don’t care for their schools,” said Miss
Sophy, “I’ll warrant, that Mrs. Saltamarrare.
villc, our teacher can’t paint as good as the
best of them.” Whenever ignorance and ob
stinacy oppose a man in such a cause, he
should stop at once, for they are the strongest
barriers to truth in the world, but Mr. T. hung
on, and profusely scatt tred “ pearls before
swire.” “Think for a moment Miss Sophia,
said the smut-hearted lover of art, “ what a
vast difference there is, between the qualifica
tions ofthetwo kinds of artists, & the heights of
their aspirations. One is a mere mimic, ice
coloring may be rich, and the painted peach
may appear natural to their eye, but no effort
of mighty genius has been exerted to produce
it. Tie great historical painter, and portrait
painter, compose as well as paint. r l heir most
celebrated pieces are the creations of fancy.
’Tistrue, Angels readofthe “ Judgment day,
Raphael, of the “ Transfiguration;” Rubens of
the “ Crucifiction ;” Da Vinci of the “ Last
Supper;” and West, of “ Death the Pale
Horse ;” and ot the “Healing in the Temple;
vet a powerful, effort of sublime genius, en
lightened by laborions research, placed these
abstract contemplations, ofthe mind in visible
existence before us. To show you that por
trait painters are not mere mimics. I will
relate an anecdote : A Florentine nobleman,
went before the celebrated Leonardo Da \ in -
ci, to have his portrait painted ; the artist
conversed with him upon various subjects ol
importance, to arouse the faculties ot his
mind, but no sign of intelligence was upon his
countenance or in his remarks, ihe great
painter, in despair, told him, that he could not
paint clay ; that he wanted to catch the visible
soul and paint its beauty. If 1 could paint
an eagle on a piece of silver and the painting
could make it “ currency ,” I would soon have
customers. The spirit ot avarice has driven
Copley, and West, and Trumbull, and the
young South-Carolinian, Washington A list on,
from their native land to embellish, with their
lives and works, the pages ol foreign history.
Not a year ago, the great West, after living
in the palacis of kings, after refusing, as a na
tive American, the titles of nobility; after leav
ing to the world, the legacy of sublime genius,
died in the arms of princes, and was borne by
noblemen to St. Paul’s Cathedral, to rest with
the illustrious dead who had gone before.”
[I, W. Bonypart Barlow, would just inquire
here, how many of the foreign struck fools,
who lately went to England to see a piece ot
gold put upon a woman’s head, would reject
titles of nobility, though valiant patriots at
home? that’s all.] He proceeded, “1 trust
that the day is not far distant, when American
cities can boast of as many great artists as
Rome, or Venice, or Florence, or Genoa, or
Bologna.”
“ Dang my rackets, if I shouldn’t like to
have some Bologna sassiges jist at this time,”
rejoined the promisiug Jeff.
“ Hush my darling, and shut that door;” said
Mrs. S.
“ Well, I won’t;” replied the young sprig.
“ Well,” said Mrs. S. “I have no objections
to Ang »l’s painting, nor any body else; but
the Met lodists, a simplepoor set, would,and it’s
a great pity, that that man, Martin Luther, ever
raised such a set; he being a shoemaker too.”
“ You are mistaken, madam,” said Mr. T.
" 1 arn a Methodist, and Martin Luther lived
long before W esley,the founder of Methodism.”
“ Well, I understood that Martin Luther
raised it soon after he discovered America,
and 1 can’t, for my life, wonder at such a
raising from a man that said the world was
round, like an apple, and turns round every
day.”
“ Americus Vcspucius discovered the con
tinent, mam, and I hope you don’t deny the
Earth’s spherical form, and diurnal motion
‘ round its axis V ”
“America in Augusta!” said Miss Sophia.
“ Spherical!” said Mr. S. “Countenance!”
said Mrs. S. “ Durn its exes,” said Jeff.
“ The world don’t turn round,” said Mrs.
5.,“ if it did the water would run out of our
well.”
“Certainly it would,” said Miss Sophia.
“ No doubt of it,” said Mr. S.
“ And we would fall off said Jeff.
Mr. T. rose, said it was getting late, and
departed—l went with him. He said, that if
he had known the intelligence of the family,
he would not have said a word ; for to battle
with ignorance, is to battle against your own
interests ; for it battles with science, art, reli
gion, and even private character.

Specie and Specie Payments.
We have observed, that since the resumption of spe
c e payments in Augusta, Charleston and other places,
there has been no denial by any of the Banks of this
place to pay specie for their notes whenever demand
ed of them; and, virtually, the resumption commenced
he re on the first of September, as well as those places
where public proclamation was ma le of the fact. So
that the first of October will come and pass as other
days without any udue excitement, as many have sup
posed there would be. If there are farmers or others
who have notes on any of the Banks in this place,
and are dubious about their solvency, let them come
forward and demand the specie for them, and they will
be accommodated. We think, if we understand the
spirit and management of the various Banking Institu
tions in this place, that it is a challenging one, in the
stead of shrinking from the test. Therefore, let those
come forward who are fearful and demand and receive
the specie for their paper; there is not a Bank in Ma
con that will refuse. The above remarks have been
the result of our own observation, connected with facts
that have come within our knowledge. We under
stand that thirty thousand dollars of specie has been
received, during the present week, by the Ochmulgee
Bank, in addition ta the twenty thousand received some
time since by the steamer Comet. Wc hope that this
influx of the real grit will continue.
The w eather has undergone a material change
during the present week ; we have had bountiful and
lengthened showers of rain, with cool breezes in abun
dance, the weather having moderated to a considerable
degree, this being the time of the equinox.
OCrWe this week conclude the very able article from
the “Southern Literary Messenger,” on Political Reli
gionism.” We would sincerely desire its perusal by
all who may feel the least interested in those deep
interests of which it trea ts. To say that the celebrated
letter of Dr. Charming to Henry Clay, on the subject
of manumission, is there answered, is enough to engage
the interest and attention of every Southerner. We
acknowledge the reception of the “ Southern Literary
Messenger” extra sheet containing the article alluded
to above.
D3"We desire attention to the following in relation to
the Georgia Female College, which institution will be
opened for the itception of scholars on the Ist of Ja
nuary next.
TO THE PUBLIC.
THE GEORGIA FEMALE COLLEGE.
The building for this Institution, the most
airy, spacious, and splendid, perhaps, of any in
the State of Georgia ; containing seventy-two
rooms, with ample space for at least two hun
dred boarders, is now almost be »g completed.
It stands on a beautiful eminence, overlooking
the City of Macon, and will be opened for
public institution, on the first day of January,
1839. It will lie under the charge of the
Rev. Geo. F. Pierce, (so well known in the
State of Georgia.) as President, and who will
reside in the Institution, assisted by an able
and efficient faculty, and from whom the pu
pils consigned to their care, will no doubt re
ceive a practical and complete education. In
the College will be taught not only the whole
course of English Letters and Science, but
also vocal and instrumental Music, Drawing
and Painting, together with the Latin, Greek,
French, Spanish, and Italian Languages ; and
last, though not least, there will be in opera
tion a system of Domestic Economy, by
which the young ladies, under the direction of
experienced teachers, will be enabled, and re
quired to prepare, and keep in good order, all
their own clothing, thereby avoiding milliner’s
bills while at school, and at the same time pre
paring themselves creditably to do this work
for themselves and families, in future life.
The great object of the Trustees will be, to
make the course of studies practical and moral,
as well as literary, thereby rendering the pupils
that may pass tli ougli this Institution, the
comfort and pride of all associated with them
in after years. It is contemplated that the
fixed expense of each pupil will he about Two
Hundred and Fifty Dollars per annum. This
sum will cover the expense for the use of a
room, for eating, and tuition fees, of every de
scription; or in other words, for the use of a
room and eating. $l5O, and for tuition of ev
ery description, SIOO. The parents of pupils
will have to furnish their own rooms, with
such furniture as they deem necessary : or if
required, it will lie done by the taculty, and
charged in their bills. This last expense is
more nominal than real, as, on leaving, the
furniture can always be sold to the next occu
pant far nearly its original cost.
The Trustees are desirous to ascertain what
the probable number of pupils will be, at the
opening of the Institution, and for this pur
pose, earnestly request all persons intending
to send, to signify it by letter, addressed to
Col. E. Hamilton, (post paid,) at Macon, or
soon as may be convenient. The Board will
meet in the City of Mucon, on the 29th of
November, at which time they wish to have
this information before them, as they then ex
pect to fill the remaining offices, and make the
final arrangements for opening the Cos lege on
the first day of January, 1839. We will
merely further add, that although it is very de
sirable, and earnestly recommended, that the
pupils be boarded in the college building, yet
the rule is not imperative, and parents prefer
ring to do so, have the privilege of hoarding
their daughters within the City or Vineville,
both of which are sufficiently convenient.
The friends of this Institution will have ex
pended, of their private funds, in its erection
and outfit, considerable more than Fity Thou
sand Dollars, without expecting any other re
turn or benefit, than that which every other
citizen of the country may receive. Their
object has been the public good, and now with
confidence and pleasure, they offer its trea
sures to the rising generation of their beloved
country women.
By order of the Executive Committee.
LOVICK PIERCE, Agent.
Macon, Sept. 18,1838.
Riding a thunderbolt—news from the Moon —a
visit to the Garden of Eden—old Time retracing his
footsteps—new method of catching a rogue —visiting
battle-fields astride of a tempest—tour of the United
States and Europe made in a few seconds, without
expense—a certain cure for every disease —together
with many other wonders too tedious to mention, all
done by James S. Olcott, with the potent agency of
Animal Magnetism. But wc will give a part of his
own account published in the Charleston Courier of
the 10th instant.
6tli Experiment. —l reduced a young man
to a magnetic state, and immediately re
stored him. He expressed a desire to re
turn into it. It was effected in two min
utes. I • discovered to him London, Paris,
New-York, Philadelphia, the catacombs of
Paris, Falls of Niagara, a caup meeting,
five miles distant; the lady of the house just
as she was leaving it, dashed him into the
Baitle of Trafalgar, and of Waterloo, and
awoke him terrified and delighted.
7 tli Experiment. —l threw my three children
at different times into tempest and battle, con.
veyed them in a steam boat, balloon, and on a
thunder bolt. They saw the ocean lashed into
fury, vessels tossed by the billows, and driven
by the winds ; beheld the lightning flash and
heard the thunder roll; saw armies marshalled
and conflict; heard the word of command; the
shouts ofthe victors, and shrieks ofthe dying;
listened to martial music; and saw the dying
and the dead. They individually and invaria
bly awoke when they came to the terrible,and
with a smile resigned themselves again to my
influence.
Bth Experiment. —While magnetizing a hoy
of eleven years, I took it into my head to dash
him to the moon. The experiment succee
ded. What kind of inhabitants are they ?
“ Ican’t tell.” Do you see them? “Yes.”
Are they larger or smaller than we ? Much
smaller and very thin. More or less beauti
ful ? “Not as beautiful.” Describe the r
houses. “Long narrow buildings, without
doors or windows. What is the climate?
“Cold and very chilly.” Roads ? “ Very
narrow foot-paths.” Describe the inhabitants.
“I can’t see them now.” It is composed of
land and water ? “Yes.” What is the light?
“ Faint.” Did it appear faint before 1 asked
you ? “No.” Are there blank doors and
windows? “Yes.” I will that you see and
describe the people. “ I can’t compare them
to any thing.”
9th Experiment. —l conveyed a female child
into the Garden of Eden before the apostacy.
How do Adam and Eve look ? “Beautiful,
but tricked — they arc naked!” The same,
after the apostacy. “They are beautiful and
dressed.”
10 tli Experiment. —A female friend had re
mained an entire sceptic, having lost a breast
pin and scissors, and suspecting a female ser
vant, she consented to he magimtized. Having
her in my power, I carried her the tour of the
United States and Europe —threw her into
tempests and battles —discovered to her many
of the most striking curiosities of the world—
caused her to travel on board vessels, steam
boats, in balloons, and on a thunder-holt. In
these terrific scenes her heart beat with won
derful celerity and force. She saw her arti
cles in the bottom of the box ofthe servant,
but when she found a convenient time to exam
ine it, it was entirely empty ot its contents.
She became a believer in the reality of the
agency, but doubted as to its efficiency in de
tecting the thief and recovering the property,
because she failed in fact. She was unwilling
to continue the pursuit.
REBECCA LAMAR.
An affecting incident relative to this lady,
who it will be remembered was one of the fe
male survivors of the ill starred passengers on
hoard the Pulaski, has just come to our knowl
edge. Miss Lamar, says a gentleman from
Charleston, whose life was saved on the same
portion of the wreck, was our guardian angel,
cheering the desponding, alleviating tlia sor
rows of those who had seen the waves ot the
ocean close over their nearest and dearest re
latives, and administering hope and consolation
even to the veteran sailor, to whom scenes of
terror and dismay had long been familiar. So
great in fine, was the confidence she inspired
in the heart of every member of our unfortu
nate band, that those whose fate it was never to
reach the shore alive, when they felt their hour
approaching, requested as a favor, that they
might be allowed to rest their heads upon her
lap, and breathe out their dying moments with
all the consolation she was capable of afford
ing. And thus all those who were unable to
survive the horrors of the awful hour, with
their last looks turned towards her who had
never quailed or blanched beneath the terrors
of the scene, although the stoutest hearts had
failed, and the boldest trembled in anticipation
of their fate.
How do the glories of a Catharine, a Sa
marimis,ora Margaret de Valdemar, pale
before the virtues of such a woman. Let
those who bear the name of Lamar,henceforth
cherish it more proudly, than if it conferred
wealth, or power, or nobility upon its pos
sessor. Boston Times.

On the 9th instant, of the Yellow Fever, while on his j
pas*age from Charleston to Bridgeport, Air. BEN J. \V.
PLATT, of this city, formerly of Bridgeport, Connecti
cut, aged about 37 j ears.
At a called meeting of the Washington Fire Com
pany, on Tuesday evening last, the death of Benja
min W. Platt, a member af the company, was an
nounced by a brother member, nearly as follows:
Mr. Presilient: —A sad occasion indeed has brought
us together this evening: an occasion which is fraught
with sorrow and mourning. We are called together for
the purpose of paying a last tribute to the memory of a
brother, a friend, a companion.
I have been favored with a perusal of the letter which
brought hither the melancholy intelligence of the death
of our esteemed fellow member, B. W. Platt. He died
on board the brig Buenos Ayres, while on his passage
to Bridgeport, from Charleston— four days out —of the
epidemic so prevalent at the last named city; arid his
remains, we are informed, were interred off Barnegat
Light-House, (near New York,) last Sabbath week.
Mr. Platt left us but a few days since, apparently in
perfect health—and as 1 am informed, on a visit which
would, perhaps prove the happiest he ever made. He
jest us with the hope of soon returning, accompanied by
a happy Bride. But, alas ! how uncertain is life ! In
stead of being again permitted to vist his aged parents,
and his friends—to join, once more, the happy group
that were anxiously expecting him, and embracing all
that was dear to him, he has been cut down in the
bloom oflife, away from his parents, his love, his brother,
and his friends.
It is unnecessary for me to utter a word to eulogize
his character. You are all as well, and a number of you i
much better acquainted with his moral worth than I. I
close my remarks, by expressing the sincere wish, that
ere this, his spirit has “ winged its flight to iis native
heaven.”
The following resolution were then offered, and adop
ted unanimously.
Resolved, Thatwe s'ncerely sympa'li x»with the pa
rents, relatives, and friends of our deceased brother. j
Resolved, That the Washington Fire Engine be
srouded in mourning for the space of thirty days, in '
testimony of our respect for the deceased; and that at ,
our next regular drill, each member wear the usual
badge of mourning.
Resolved, That a Committee be appointed to corres
pond with the relatives, of our deceased friend—express
ing our sympathy, our heart-felt sorrow, and our loss
in this sad dispensation of Divine Providence.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be
entered on the minutes of the Company ; that a copy
thereof be sent to each of the relatives of the deceased.
And that they be published in the several papers of the
city.
Messrs. Purse, Hanlciter and Mills were appointed
a commi.tee under the third Resolution. The meeting
then adjonrned. L. P. STRONG, Foreman.
