w “The Herald of a noisy world.” RIRTxS-EYE VleTw OF EUROPE^ ~ Portugal —ln Portugal a strange fatality attends every effort of tlio people to shake off *ie tyranny of-Don Miguel, whose last acliiev incnt which has come to our knowledge, was the strangulation of seven constitutionalists, and the banishment of seven others,on a charge of having conspired against the existing ">v ernment. It is mentioned as a remarkable fact, that Don Miguel was not present on this occasion, and that the head of the victims, instead of being stuck upon pc les as u-uial, were burnt along with their bodies. The executioner, after pursuing his vocation until he became wearied with the effort, is said to have seated himself coolly upon the platform smoked a segar, and then refreshed himself for the further duties of his office, by quaffing a bottle of wine. To crown the whole, this brilliant exploit was followed by an illumina tion and a display of rockets. Spain. —The revolutionary movement in Cadiz has miscarried. One of its first effects was the assassination of the Governor, An tonio de Hierro Oliver. Either on account of the matter or manner of the undertaking, the insurgents found less encouragement than they anticipated, and on the night ofthe 4th March, left Cadiz forTarifa. They were pur sued by the royalist troops, and 45 of them taken prisoners the same night, or the next day, and immediately put to death. The main body was overtaken at Bejar on the Bth,where finding resistance hopeless,they ground’dtheir arms to the number of 400, and surrendered at discretion. The prevailing opinion was that they would be shot. Thus ends the in surrection of Cadiz or the Isle de Leon.— There are other revolutionary parties in diffe rent parts of the king lorn, particularly in Ca talonia and the mountains of ltonda; hut al though they may occasion some annoyance to the government, they have little chance of success, as to the main object of their endea vors, uni ;ss by the Course of events assistance should be rendered from abroad. The mass <>f the people will hazard nothing in the cause (“their necks are too much bowed,”) howev er ready they might be to raise the shout of liberty when once the triumph was achieved. Italy, France and Austria. —The revolu tion winch broke out in Modena about the beginning of February, was spreading from city to city, and from Province to Province— bad extended to the priest-ridden subjects of the States of the Church, and bade fair to overrun the whole of Italy—when an Aus trian army presented itself on the frontiers, crossed the Po on the sth of March, entered Modena, Parma, Ac. after a short resistance, and then marched into the States of the Church, agreeably to an understanding with the Pope, who had begun to tremble for his temporal dominion. While its movements were confined to the Dutchies of Modena and Parma, France felt herself but partially out jaged—although she knew it was virtually au attack upon the principles of her late revolu tion, and although one of her Ministers (Se bastian)) had declared that she “would never . see the Austrian forces enter Italy,”—because in these cases Austria w< able to frame a pretext for her conduct, on the ground cf fam ily alliances and the necessity of supporting the dignity of Austrian Princes. But when it was announced iu Paris that the Church, for which no such pretext could be alleged and for the acknowledged purpose of ar resting the progress of liberal principles, every Frenchman felt himself insult ed, and a sensation was produced, of the most exciting an i thrilling character.— ‘•War : war !” was the sentiment of thousands, we may say the general sentiment ; and even in the Chamber of Deputies, where the feel ing of the moment would naturally be check ed in he expression by official station, every word uttered by the Premier which might be construed in favor of war, was sure to be ap plauded, while that of an opposite tendency was received either in silence or witli evi dent marks of disapprobation. On the day that this news was received in Paris, (March 25th) a law was passed authorizing a loan of 020,000-000 francs) $22,500,000,and a fur ther loan of 820,000,000, if necessary. It was also reported (on the 29th,) that a bill was about to be presented to the Chamber, for calling into actual service 280,000 men of the National Guards. On the other hand it is known that Austria has just contracted a loan of 810,000, and accounts from Vienna state that preparations for war were going on in that capital with the utmost activity. If, as is averred in private letters, and more than intimated by some of the Paris Editors, the .French Minister at Vienna has been instruc ted by his government to require as an ul.'i matum, that the Austrian troops shall be im mediately withdrawal from the Roman States, atl’airs will soon be brought to a crisis between the two nations, and the question of Peace or War, as growing out of the affairs of Italy, w ill bo finally decided. Consequences incal culably momentous depend upon the result. A few days will inform ns. Belgium and Holland. —Here is another knot of difficulties which it will puzzle the crowned heads to solve. To the indepen dence of Belgium they have given their con sent. Bat at the sune time they have so de fined its boundaries as to exclude from it the Province of Luxembourg. This they have or eted into a Grand Duehv, dependant on Holland; ad in accordance with their decis ion, King William has appointed as its Gov ernor, the Duke Bernard of Saxe Weimar.— lie, it appear.-, is at his pod. issuing Procla mations e.nd decrees, in one of which lie an nounces that the Germanic Confederation have ordered 24,000 troops to he in readiness to establish the authority of the King of Hol land as Grand Duke of the said territory, a ijrecably to the provisions of the London Pro tocols. Meanwhile the Same territory is rep resented by its Deputies in the Congress of Belgium, tbb Regent of which issued a Pro-' c.Lumitoa to its inhabitants,(the Luxeinbur pliers,) exhorting them to be firm in the course they have taken, and assuring them that this oath to maintain the integrity of the B< lgian territory, shall never be violated. "We be grin our revolution,” lie says, “in spite of the “Treaties of 1815, we will finish it in spite of ghe I’rvtei'ori of London-’' Nor is the Kinc THE MACON ADVERTISER, AND AGRICULTURAL AND MERCANTILE INTELLIGENCER. of Holland an inactive spectator of these movements. It is asserted in the Messenger des Chambrcs, that he has demanded permis sion to send 10,000 men through Prussia into Luxembourg, and in case of refusal,intends to march iiis whole army, 84,000 men, through 11l inium, in order to occupy the said Pro vince. It is pretty certain that unless some further measures are adopted by the parties to the London Protocols, the war of Belgian In dependence is not vet ended. Russia and Poland. —We have so recently spoken of the relative situation of these pow ers, in the bloody conflict now pending, that wo need not at present enlarge. Here, how ever is a third source of embarrassment to the peace of Europe ; for it is not to be con cealed that different nations are looking on with very different feelings—Prussia and Austtia siding with the Russians,and France Turkey, Belgium, Sweden and England, with the Poles. Should the contest be prolonged, it will he difficult to prevent those jarring prepossessions, which in some cases are close ly allied w ith jarring interests, from express ing themselves iR something more vigorous than words: and if once the interference is begun, it is impossible where it w ill end, or by what limits it w ill bo bounded. England, contrary to her usual policy,seems disposed to keep aloof from the‘approaching contest; either because she has learned wis dom from experience, or because she has enough to do to attend to her own matters at home. Whether she will succeed, liowev | cr, must depend upon contingencies of which i neither she or we may at present dream. Eu rope is doubtless on the eve of great events, and we may well thank God, that between it and us he has placed a mighty Ocean, which will forever separate us from its broils, and shield us in a great measure from its nower. Journal of Commerce. The following important and effecting ad dress to the Polish nation lias been published by the government of Poland. Address to the People of Poland. “Countrymen—Already the combat for our existence, for our liberty, and for our indepen dence lias begun: it is perhaps the last. Our first fixed purpose is gloriously to conquer or to die; andwc have sworn that if it should please Providence to permit us to be subdued, that like unto the Jews aft> r the destruction of Jerusalem, we will never cease to be Poles. We swear now that we will hide our national ity deep in our hearts from the eyes of our enemies, but that never will a member of our great but unfortunate nation unite itself with our enemies, either by blood or by friend ship—that never shall want or contempt bring us or our latest descendants to deny Poland— but that we will look upon one another as brothers, help one another in toil, and, in the midst of misfortune, and in misery, live upon the recollections of the past and present, and preserve tiro moral presence for ever, and ra •her disperse over the face of the earth than languish in slavery- May those powers favo rable to us at least obtain this much—that, after our fall, we may be permitted to leave the sacred land of our fathers, with our pos sessions and goods. The Diet shall pre scribe tht; form of nur oath; the diet shall lake it with the Polish nation, and shall order it tube read from the pulpit. The Minister of Foreign Affairs shall ad dress notes to England and France, exhorting those pow ers that, in the event of a defeat, the remains efottr nation, as well as the pris oners, shall be set at liberty, and permitted to leave our fatherland, profaned by the enemy, soaked by the blood of the Poles, and strewed with their bones—that we wav sell without hindrance our possessions and goods, and car- ' ry with us what we can take away. Those powers will not repulse the prayers of the) people who, for the centuries, have guarded Europe on the east and in the north; and the conqueror will rejoice to be rid of a eenera tion which must ever hate him. If he pos sesses the magnanimity which he'professes to the world, lie will w illingly do a deed contri buting alike to his glory and to his interest.— Those amongst us whom Providence shall permit to survive, or shall hr wounded and in prison, will, with eyes full of and with blending hearts, leave the land of onr fathers, with the priests of our holy faith, and repair to those distant regions of As : n, Africa and America, w hich the providence of God and hospitality shall point out, thankful to the giv er of an asylum where our nationally may still be permitted to survive.” The official journal of Warsaw to the 18ih instant, contains a long narrative of the actions between the Poles and Russ ans up to the 26th ultimo. The narrative is highlv in teresting, and proves decidedly that the Poles have in effect obtained aeomniete victory, the Russian Commander-in-Chief having been tit toriv foiled in the object which he sought to attain. m—n Association-of the Friends of Ireland. On Tuesday night the association room was completely filled by the friends of Ireland. In accordance with a resolution passed at a previous meeting, a large tri-coloured flag was suspended over the chair occupied bv the president, 'l'lie colours arc green, white, and orange, the white forms the centre, and has painted on it, the Irish Harp reclining against a tree bearing the cap of Liberty; a wreath cf intermingled shamrock and orange lily surrounds the harp, and beneath it is an Irish wolfdoginthe attitude of defence. In tiie distance is seen a vessel of war, apparently a privateer bearing the American flag, and on the hole a watch tower, on w hich is floating the Irish tri-colour flag. The whole inter spersed with appropriate mottoes; one of these is composed of the Irish words, “Aon Wien thar,” which means in English, one people. A gentleman named Skcchan presented two beautiful tri-coloured scarfs to the asso ciation, one for the President ami the other for the Secretary. These scarfs are prepar ed with extrordinary taste. They are com posed of the tri-colour, the white crosses the breast, and hears an Eagle very beautifully wrought. In the beak of that on the Presi dent’s flag is a scroll, with the words “my ad opted son,” in the centre a star, with the words “Wm. James McNeven, President of the Association of the Friends of Ireland.” flic Fogle ou the Secretary’s scarf bears the words, “We are united, let despots tremble;” I in the star, the words, “Eber Wheaton, Sec-' rotary of the Association.” The letters are all worked in gold, and the ends of the scarf arc ornamented with silver fringes. On be ing invested with the Scarfs the President and ; Secretary were greeted with repeated cheers, for w hich they returned thanks. The Presi dent remarked this was really an age of wonders, not the- least singular of which was so long the emblem of all that was baneful to to his beloved native country. Several high ly eloquent addresses were made. N. Y. Courier. A letter from a distinguished lady of New York, at present in Paris, published in the New York Commercial, after a review-of the events of the last few months and some stric tures on the weakness ofthe present govern ment of France—the King’s conduct to La fayette, Ac. says:— “I w ant my countrymen to understand the true state of things here, especially in regard to our father Lafayette. Their minds should be preparcdjto look for tV possibility that lie A his most amiable, most excellent family may yet need an asylum with us. Surely I, hope not, and as yet 1 believe not —I think it more probable that he yet will be President of a French republic; for this is undoubtedly the wish of a large party of the National Guards. I cannot express with what interest in the people—(l mean respectable people with whom I have business affairs,) —inquire after his health—how their countenances brighten or darken as the news is good or ill. “Cest pour lui, ’ said one of them to me—“encore unefoisde sauver sa patrie.” The Carlists wish too to see a republic, for they think that then the allies will bring back the Bourbons. So you see that if Lafayette lives, the times are fraught with danger to him and his fami ly. One of his daughters said to a friend, “I have wished your stay in Paris, but at pre sent I counsel you to depart—you have seen the best of our days, and what may yet the fate of our family God only knows.” 1 wish the Americans to understand this, and to be ready to receive to their arms and their hearts, this blessed family ere one hair of their heads should be injured; and if the General him self should be in heaven before these troubles cease, still America owes to his family. It is impossible to express their kindness to Amer icans. In all the exultation cf this family, where the General has stood, (and he still stands the first man in the world,) it is Amer ica that has been first in their affections— openly and avowedly Americans, that are to receive their first, their principal attentions. Madame George Lafayette was grieved to the heart to learn that she had omitted to return the call of an American lady. “But how,” said siie, “could I know under these circum stances that she was not an English lady ?” At the grand ball at Court on tlie 12th ult.— Madcmc de Lavsteric, stow! for a moment and looked along the benches—l knew she was looking for Americans, I happened to be the first who caught her eve —she instantly came with her party A sat with ine the whole eve ning, but looking out constantly for the Americans, and paying them as she had an opportunity the most endearing attentions.— They sympathise w ith us in our joys and our sorrows. Never in mv life, did I see so com passionate a being as Madame de Moubourg, the General’s eldest daughter. It was yester day that she wept with one who wept—Yes wept—-not a solitary tear, liut long did the stream of compassion flow down her cheeks as she sat. bv the mourner and held her hand. It is for this familv, as well as for its still dearer Patriarch and Father, that rnv country should watch with a sympathy and affection lively as th"ir own. “Just as the twig is lent, the tree's inclined." “ UNIX E RSITY OF A LAB AM A.” ( Nea r Tu&caloosa .) This Institution has already gone into op eration under the most favorable circum stances. Furnished with ample resources, derived from grants of land by the General Government, it is placed on an equal footing of stability and permanency with the mostfa vored Colleges in the United States, in consequence of its endownmeflts, the Trus tees have made the College charges less than at any other reputable College in the .Union. The Buildings already provided, are two buildings for lodging and study rooms, capa ble of accommodating about one hundred stu dents, four Professors’ houses, a boarding) house, a hall containing six large rooms for lectures and recitations, and a Rotunda for a large chapel and spacious library.

At the late Superior Court for the county of Scriven, two of that class of cases generally denominated Borough cases, were submitted to the Jury—in one of which several lots in the town of Jacksonboro’ were found subject to the Plaintiff’s Execution—in the other case I there was a mistrial. Several interesting) points arose in the progress of these causes, i and were adjudicated by JudgeLxw with his I accustomed clearness and intelligence. His 1 Honor held that a Plaintiff in Execution, in a I claim case, is not bound to exhibit his Judge ment in evidence until the claimant proves) that he derives title from the Defendant in' Execution or those claiming under him; and he also ruled that the claimant could not set up an outstanding title in a third person to de feat the claims of the Plaintiff in Execution— because the claimant having, under the pecu liar provisions of our law, sworn that the pro perty was his, and submitted himself to the issue whether it be his or not, it is not compe tent for him to shew the title of any other than myself. In the contest for Administration of the Es tate of Scott —the Jury returned a verdict in favor of two of the cousins—one on the father’s side, and one on the mother’s. The Court held the Law to be very clear, that all the Cousins, both paternal and maternal, were i heirs of the decessed. His Honor charged 1 the Jury that in deciding which of the kind red of equal degree should have administra tion, it was their duty to consider the aptness for business—and the characters of the con tending parties—and to commit the trust to hands of the most worthy and capable. A 1 question of residence, was also presented in the cause. One of the applicants—a gentle man of high respectability and entirely fitted ) to conduct the administration, had leftCaroli j n-a since the deatli of Scott, with the purpose of residing here, should lie obtain letters of ; administration. The Court held that the j length of time, for which a party bad been resident in the State, was not material, but the Jury must be convinced that a permanent and not temporary residence had been established Iby the proof. Evidence of the sayings of the j applicant to prove his intention of remaining —animus remanedi —was rejected. Our law ; provides that an administrator must be a citi ! zen of the United States resident in the State of Georgia. The residence of the applicant | was considered insufficient by the Jury. The Court did not adjourn until Saturday ! afternoon, and then without finishing the bu siness. A good deal of excitement prevail cd, and “the big guns” were often discharg ed. Interesting trial. — Mrs. Joanna Clews, charged with the murder of her husband, w as put upon her trial week before last, in the city of Philadelphia. The case was given to the jury on Saturday evening, and the jurors ; were not allowed to call until they should j agree upon a verdict, the Judge deciding that J he was not warranted in allowing food to be ) taken into the jurvroom. In this state they ; remained, from Saturday evening to Monday ; forenoon, 10 o’clock, w hen they were direct ed to come into Court; and on being asked if 1 they had agreed upon the verdict, they an ) swered that they had not, and probably never should. Mr. FERGrsoN, an aged Juryman, they j stated that he had reason to fear that his life j was in danger, and requested, that the Jury might ho discharged. Mr. Ashrnrad, another member of the Jury, stated that his health w.as feeble, and he had reason to fear serious consequences from longer confinement; he then felt very unwell, and was sure that his malady would increase. A majority of the Jury stated, that they would no* consent that any member should be allowed to eat; they had for some time been divided in their opin ion ten to two; and there appeared no likeli hood of any change. The Judge then ordered Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Ashmead to be affirmed. They men tioned their state of bodily health, a statement fully confirmed by their respective appearan ces. The Judge directed them to return to their room; he then sent cu officer for the physician of these gentlemen, and after cer tificates of their cn.U'cble state, and tlie .lun ger of longer continuing in confinement, had been presented, the Jury was again called, and discharged. The case, will, therefore, come before the next Court of Oyer and Terminer, to be held by the Judges of ike Supreme Court. Wc believe the counsel for Mrs. Clews consider the discharge of the Jury as an ae quital, and that she cannot be tried again. [ From the Journal of Law.] MISTAKING siDES. “ Vice-Chancellor's Court, Monday, Jan. 2G, 1829. “King vs. Turner. —This case, the circum stances of which did not transpire, was put into his honor’s paper to be spoken to. The | point was of a legal nature of no public inter est, but an oversight of Mr. Stigden’s appear i ed to give considerable amusement to the court. “Mr. Horne and Mr. Pemberton were heard on one side, and “Mr. Sugden following, concurred in the argument -of those learned gentlemen, and confidently stated that the law was quite celar. “The Vice-Chancellor.—Then Mr. Sug den is with you, Mr. Horne. “Mr. Horne said that the argument of his learned friend was, certainly to his surprise, on his side; but that his friend happened to be on the other. (Great laughter.) “Mr. Sugden, who, after consulting with his junior (Mr. Jacob) appeared not a little disconcerted, said that he found Jie had mis taken his side. What he had said, however, was said in all sincerity; and he never would for any client, be he who he might, come into court and argue against what he thought to be a settled rule of law. As learned persons, however, had differed on the present point, he hoped his honor would decide it without ref erence to what had fallen from him. “The Vice-Chancellor jrromised he would do so." Times, Jan. 27, 1829. W hen Curran made a blunder of the same description, (and the like is told of Erskine) far from losing his presence of mind, or stam mering out a confession of error, he calmly and instantly went on with “And now, my lord, having anticipated my adversary’s argu j ment, I shall proceed to point oift its fallacy.” Law Mag. A nearly similar incident is said to have happened to Luther Martin, who triumphant ly redeemed his mistake by a masterly refu tation of his own argument. “The price of Liberty is eternal vigilance.” Extract of a letter, dated Washington, April 25. “I had a very free 'conversation with the President yesterday on the subject of the new Cabinet. It was mentioned in my pre sence, that the appointment of Mr. Living stong was objected to by some of the friends of the Administration—and with that spirit of frankness which characterises him on all oc casions, he entered very freely into the rea sons which induced him to make this ap pointment. Sorno of these I will state to you. In the first place, I must remark to you that the story of Air. Livingston being once a defaulter, is misunderstood. The President examined into that matter some time ago when he turned his attention towards nomi nating him as Minister to France. Mr. Liv ingston has documents in his possession to prove, that not one cent of the money ever came into his hands. The bonds on which suits were instituted, were collected by his Deputies and Agents and squandered by them whilst he was sick in bed, where he had been confined for three months. The money, notwithstanding, has been .paid up by him, and his accounts closed some time ago; as the Comptroller informed me this morning. “The President stated, that when Mr. Van Buren first communicated his w'ish to resign, he had made it his business to cast about and see where lie was to find his successor:— That he found the subject full of difficulty:— That it was all important to him at this period of the w orld, that he should have a man at the head of the State Department who was w ell versod in the principles of maritime and in ternational law: That the prospect before us gave an importance to those qualifications now, greater than at an ordinary period, as in the c\ ent ot a war in Europe, we must ex pect to be drawn into discussions again upon those subjects That he thought it also im portant to have a man, if possible, whose pub lic course had been such as to make him w ell acquainted with the diplomatic history of the world—that he thought it also indispensable to have a man at the head of the Cabinet, who belonged to the old Republican School) and with whose disposition and habits he w as well acquainted. That Mr. Livingston had acted as his Aid at New Orleans, in difficult times— that he knew him well, and the value ol his services: That his reputation abroad as well as at home, as a profound jurist, and as a gentleman of accomplished erudition united to his habits and profession of life' seemed to point him out as peculiarly fitted lor the place for which he was selected : Flint it was true Mr. Livingston and himself differed upon some points, but that he could not expect to get a Cabinet who would coin eule with him upon all points—and that it would be for hint to give the rule, and for his •secretaries to execute Lis views as he had done heretofore. The President frankly stated, that in bis friend, Judge White, he had (he most imlim |ted confidence, and that he had invited him “I ,nc most pressing manner, to take charge of the Mar Department, whose duties lie was highly qualified to discharge: Among oth cr reasons, on account of his extensive and familiar acquaintance with our Indian affairs, that arc so important to Ihe peace and tran-i T-t’lity of our comffry this time: Hut noth-1 ing could have induced, Judge V.bite to <d charge ofthe State Department. llj. s pur suits ill life had allowed him no opportune of becoming acquainted with its duties h the first place ; and in the second place ’j,' - retiring habits were such ilia) he could not V prevailed upon at tins time of life, 0 adam them to that constant intercourse which th * head oftlm .State Department must have wit} Foreign Ministers Foreign Agents, Ac. and with the forms and etiquette necessary to b observed in it, Ac—And with all, it was ab° solutely certain that Judge White would not have listened to the suggestion for one i no ment, of taking the States Department: That he had considered the pretensions of manv others ofthe friends of the Administration and could not see where he was to find otic better suited for this place, upon the whole than Mr. Livingston. “The President remarked that nothing gave him more unfeigned pleasure than his friends frankly and openly to state to him at all times, any objections they might have to his course upon any and every point. That he estimated them the more highly, the more unreserved and frank they were with him.— All he asked was, that they would not break out into complaints upon first impressions but would look at the matter all round, before they decided and then they would readily ad mit the difficulties with which lie had to con tend. Those that had been spread before him for the last two years, he thought, ought to entitle him to some indulgence on the [out of his friends—They ought to wait andjud"e the tree by its fruit, lie did not despair at all of realizing yet, all the expectations of the country. “He would continue to administer theGov eminent upon the principles of Thos. Jeffer son, so far as his duties were concerned; and to preserve the Union and Liberty of the country,as far as it was in his power. The sincerity of this declaration, no unprejudiced or honorable man would deny, who knows the character of General Jackson, and havewio nessed on this occasion the spirit and manner with which it was made.” “Of these most brisk and giddjr-paeed times." From the Camden Journal. It is stated in a Vermont paper that a load of smuggled broad cloths was lately seized by a Custom House officer in that State, and that said goods belonged to two red hot anti . tariff' men —Wc have no doubt of it- The manufacturing monopolists, arc of the whole human family the most clamorous patriots, and make most noise about their love of coun try, their longing after national independence and ail that sort of flummery ; but we behove as little in their patriotism, as we do in tin policy of a government that lends itself to their schemes. Wc know the manufacturing spirit well. It is the spirit of greedy cupid ity and self-aggrandizement-—'Hie spirit of robbery and oppression towards all other por tions of the community—that, were it left st liberty to pamper its unhallowed cravings up on others until nothing more was left to prey upon, would turn to filch from itself! U< believe it religiously. If the monopolists could bring if about, they wo(tld not onl grind all other classes to dust, but, bavin r donc that, they would with equal complacen cy grind cachother. It is the nature of th< system Which our Government has taken so much pains to foster. It is possible, that twelve millions of free people will for anv length of time, suffer themselves to bo thus stultified and imposed upon by some fifty or a hundred thousand cotton and woollen spin ners ! It is not possible; and if the friends of free trade and rational legislation will art with a moderation and good sense becominir so just a cause-—will leave off the ridiculous and senseless blustering of the bully, and as sutne the more efficient and more potent atti tude of reason and argument, the downfall o' the Misbaptised “System” will be hastened. It is a system nearly equally onerous in ever.’ district of our common country, anti acute people cannot be long in making the discov ery ; if their judgment be appealed to instend of their passions. If they are convinced, la ther than threatened in obstinacy. In the neighborhood of Jacksonboro’,Scriv en County, there is a curious and beautiful Spring —which bursts front the hill-side, and spreads immediately into a small lake. The fountain is overshadowed by Myrtles and Pop lars—its waters are cold and clear, and with its White and boiling sands, and moss-covered fragments of limestone, and thousand plants that luxuriantly springfrorn the lmmid margin, it presents a pleasant scene in strong contrast with the pine-barrens extending! far around on all sides.
