•Mineral teprin&s,
22 i MILES FROM MaCOX.
sspmk;® asms
ON the subscribers’ premises in Monrce coun
ty, Ga. 221 miles west of Macon, (on the
road leading from that place to Columbus, by way
of Thomastcn,) are Four mineral Springs two of
which have been rccenily discovered. They have
been analyzed, and are found to contain the fol
lowing minerals: The first is strongly impregna
ted with Carbonate of Iron, and a small portion of
lime, the second, Oxyd of Iron, carbonic acid a
fixed air, Sulphate of magnesia or Epsom Salts,
and muriatic acid. The third contains tiie same
as the second, but has a smaller portion of the
several minerals, and is colder. The fourth is
like the second, only 7 that there is no Iron in it.—
The mineral impregnation is such, that the water
may be presumed to be a valuable Tonic and al
ternative ; which have been established by the ex
peiience of some, who have proved its effects.—
Many laboring underchronic diseases have been
much benefited, and others cured.
The local situation is high and airy, and the
sweet or free stone water is equal in coolness, pu
rity and health, to any in the State.
The builders of the first four tents shall have
the privilege of timber, and can occupy the same,
every summer for four years. Liberel privileges
will be given to others. Tents can be rented on
moderate terms.
llis house is comfortable, constructed for the ac
commodation of boarders or travellers. His Ta
ble shall be well fnrnished, and the Bar supplied
with a variety jjof Spirits. The prices of Board
will be low ; and convenient houses are prapared
for the accommodation of families. Tents are
now building, and other improvements going on
about the Springs. There is a Post Oince kept
here, called Spring Hill. From the locality cf
the place, the virtue of the waters, and the un re
mitted attention which will be paid to the accom
modation of boarders and travellers; he hopes to
be lavored with his share of patronage.

WARREN COUNTY, N. CAROLINA.
the first day of June next, the Buildings of
this Establishment will be prepared for the
reception of Visitors. The Houses are large and
numerous, sufficiently so, to accommodate an as
semblage of two or three hundred persons com
fortably.
j She subscriber is flattered with the expectation,
that the conveniences and improvements which
| have been added to ihis Establishment, in all
those mutters which essentially concern the
health, comfort, and amusement of its visitors,
will render it the ensuing season, more attractive
than ever. The private apartments will afford
ample retirement to invalids, families, and others
who prefer it. They are so arranged, as to com
bine every convenience and accommodation, suit
ed to the largest or smallest assembly, male and
female. Arrangements arc also made, with the
particular design of accomodating large families,
by affording them large, spacious cabins, near to
or remote as they may select from the centre build
ing, with double and single rooms, where they
can be at all times, perfectly secure in the enjoy
ment of quiet retirement.
The Subscriber [dodges herself to devote her
chief exertions to the accommodation of private
families, will spare no means to render visitors
happy and agreeable, by providing every thing
•that may contribute to their health, by carefully
guarding against annoyances of every description.
The l J ublic Halls are abundantly spacious to
receive all who may desire company.
No Public Balls will be given at hdiecco during
the season, but those who delight-in Music and'
Dancing can partake of them without its disturb
ing cr annoying, in the slightest degree, the rest
of the Boarders.
Few Watering Places present more rational
objects of attraction than Shocco. Located in the
most healthy, rich and populous part of ths coun
try, in the midst of a polished society, it affords
in its Springs and climate many advantages, and
gives it ascendancy over all the Mineral Yv ater
ing places tothe South. It is believed that the
water never failed in its senative effects upon
persons afflicted with Dyspepsia, liillious dis
eases and general debility, where they have per
wrvered'in its use. ; > v '

.Worship performed at the Spring on the Sabbath

way apprentice. To satisfy the public that this
is a libellous publication, Jr.f w hich t may proba

a plain statement of the case as it actually stands.
In tuc first place, I was nevtr indented to Mr.
Bartlett, and consequently cannot be viewed in

service about 14 months since, under verba! con

with. After I had determined to leave the office,
I called upon Mr. B. and told him that my situ
ation was a disagreeable end —that his treatment
i (fine was in violation of his verbal promises, and
that I was determined to quit hint. How this
and frank avowal can be tortured into “ruming
vimy,” is more than 1 can imagine. The truth
is, Mr. B. has had no just cause of compknit.—
He has, juutupon my entrance into active life, in

Hr. AmbroR 1 Haber,
We are authorised to say, is a candidate to repre
sent this County in the Senatorial branch of the
next Legislature ; and we are also authorised to
announce
TarpSey Holt, Esq.
For the Representative branch, at the ensuing e
lection.
Errata.— Our Detil—for the purpose of tor
mentihg us no doubt—occasionally delights in
raising a battle-royal among our verbs, adverbs,
adjectives and pronouns—and when he cannot ef
fect this, he kicks up a row with our orthography,
and plays the deuce with our syntax. In the last
favor of our interesting correspondent “ Lotha
rio,” he made him say—(fourth line from the
bottom) —“ Then no unhallowed footstep,” &c.
for “ II here no unhallowed footsteps,” &c. —and
not content with this, he assails us with his de
tuV-ish propensities, and in our article on the Pen
itentiary, made us use the word temerity for that
of timidity. If his satanic majesty does not de
mean himself better hereafter, we will write to
Mrs. licyall, and have him put in her Black Book.
EDUCATION.
We are truly glad to see that the communica
tion ol Mr. Cummins, in relation to a Convention
of Teachers, which we recently re-published, be
gins to attract public attention, and to excite that
interest which the importance of the subject de
mands. Mr. Brown, the worthy and erudite
Principal of the Scottsboroiigh Female Institute,
situated in the vicinity of Milledgeville, has lent
his aid to the promotion of this laudable object.
His address to the Teachers throughout the state,
w ill be found under our head of Education.”
In the event of the Convention being accom
plished, w'hich now appears very certain, Macon,
if centrality of position be regarded, Will no doubt
be selected as a proper place for holding it.
The Cabinet is right in supposing the omission
was casual. Indeed the Editor ought to have
known it—as we think we have given pretty plain
evidence of our devotion to the “Sovereignty of
the States.” The establishment and preserva
tion of the sovereign character of the States, is
with us a question of paramount interest, because
we believe it, not only essential, but indispensa
ble to the Union of the States. We look upon it as
a Palladium standing upon the base of the Con
stitution, the removal of which would be the death
knell of our liberty.
From the Rural Cabinet.
“ Though it may be deemed scarcely ne
cessary for t ts to notice such a matter —yet,
humble as are our pretentions, v. e feel some
pride of principle ; and feeble as may be our
support of what we believe to be orthodox po
litical doctrines, we wish to maintain what
little character we may have acquired for
consistency in their advocacy. The article
in the last Cabinet on the subject of Macon
and the periodicals published there, has been
transferred tothe columns of the Macon Ad
vertiser and Mercantile and Agricultural In
telligencer, save and excepting a part cf a sen
tence, to wit; “and the sovereignty of the
States.” The entire sentence as it appear
ed in the Cabinet was “from the tenor of the
Editorial matter in the numbers which have
reached us, the Advertiser and Intelligencer
promises to be an able and efficient advocate
of the Union of the States and the sovereign
ty of the States.” -
The omission we cannot but conclude was
casual and inadvertent, and therefore, our o
pinion honestly expressed remains unchan
ged.”
SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
We cannot imagine a stronger commentary' up
on the unreflecting liberality, which we of the
South have been in the habit of bestowing upon
foreign missions, than was exhibited in the result
of a meeting held at the Methodist Church in this
place, on Wednesday evening last. On the pre
vious Sabbath, it was announced from the pulpit
to a crowded congregation, that the Sunday School
in this place having been suspended for the want
cf a necessary t ipport, it was earnestly request
ed that the patrons of the institution would con
vene at the aforementioned time and place, and
devise some ways and means for an effectual re
organization of the school. The evening arriv
ed, and the Church presented—what? Not a
crowded congregation, ready to throw in their
mite and talent for the promotion of the good cause
at home. No; it was but a dreary and “ void
expanse” —a “beggarly account cf empty” seats,
that saluted our eyes. In fact, a quorum could
not be farmed to enter into the business of the meet
ing, and the Rev. had to leave the
legitimate object of the convention and the even
ing with devotional exercises. We expected
something like a sharp rebuke from the Rev. gen
tleman for the seeming want of interest displayed
on the occasion—but, with Christian forebcar
ance, he regretted that the meeting was not more
numerously attended —and offered up a fervent
prayer, that the contemplated measure might
hereafter receive a more general attention, and be
speedily' accomplished.
And is this, thought We to ourself, the discri
minating clarity, the active benevolence of a Chris
tian people! Shall We suffer our own moral in
stitutions to languish and die under our very eyes,
and lavish our beneficence to Valley of Mississippi
Missionaries, and to other and similar Quixotic ad
venturers upon our piety' and benevolence? Out
upon such misplaced humanity. Had a gaily be
dizzened Missionary from the Valley, arrived
among us, and announced his intention of hold
ing a pious Levee, for the purpose of collecting a
few hundred dollars to establish Sunday Schools
in a country where there is as much wealth and
intelliget.ee as we can boast cf, how changed’
would have been the scene! Our ears would
have been deafened with the rattling of gigs, ba
rouches and coaches, filletl with Merino Shawls,
bishop sleeves, Leghorn bonnets A beau catchers,
all in ecstacics to see the good dear mun i who hod
come alliht way from tU Volley of the Missiiripid,\
with the charitable intention of carrying their mo
ney away from them, and leaving their men moral
society unnoticed, forsaken and impoverished.
Whence arises this heedlessness in the ever,
cise of our public charities? It arises, wo fear,
from a mistaken notion prevailing among too ma
ny of U 9, which confounds charity wilfi imagina
tion. Objects of distress are apt to affect too many
of us, more in the recital than in the reality. and,
from the highly wrought colourings with w’hich
they may be surcharged by a pathetic eh quence,
they look more interesting at a distance than they
do at home. It is thus that our alms are too fre
quently dispensed to the detriment of our own so
ciety, by the exercise of a false charity, w'hich in
its ostentatious displays, appeals ra?her to our
pride and fancy, than either to our philanthropy
or judgment.
We have too long indulged in the expenditure
of our liberality ‘to aid the moral and intellectual
condition of others, whose pecuniary resources,
as we have already said, are as great, if not great
er, than our own. If neither a feeling of delica
cy or a sense of justice, can operate upon those
splendid paupers, (as we heretofore have had oc
casion to calHhem,) let us at once discard our
apprehensions of offending “ears polite,” and
tell them in plain language, that we have given
them too much already, and that if they have go t
any more begging to do, they had better go and
do it at home.
No part of these strictures, we would have it
understood, is intended to apply to our breth
ren of the Valley of the Mississippi. They are
yet, partially, if at all, apprised of the great good
w’hich is intended them —they little think w’hat
noble sacrifices are making to convert them to the
true faith, and to convince them that there is such
a Book as the Bible, and such a Being as aGoD.

HEALTH AND LONGEVITY.
The article on the health and longevity of dif
ferent trades and professions is interesting. Mr.
Thackrah’s remarks upon Priaters, however, al
though they may be correct in some particulars,
are not of general application. In London, w'here
there is an overloaded population, and every “rod
of erround contains its man” —where the compos
itors are confined in close and heated printing
houses, to a fixed routine of duty, it certainly op
erates upon their health in some degree. The
same remark may apply to the large Northern and
Eastern Cities—and in the South, probably, to
New Orleans. But throughout the United States
generally, where the duties of the compositor are
more diversied than the}’ are in the old country,
it is altogether inapplicable. The compositor by
the continued action of his 'arms, keeps up a gen
tlq and* w holesome circulation of the blood —he
enjoys too an unconfmed and regular exercise,
walking through the office, during the prosecution
of iris labors, which are light, several miles in
the course of the day.- The inhalation of the
fume of the lead and antimony, when the type
are heated, is certainly deleterious; but no pru
dent compositor will go to his case, until they are
cooled. As regards the longevity ol the compos
itor, .Mr. T. also err? —there arc numerous in the
North and South, when they reach GO, 70, and 80
years of age —indeed, they come in, as a body,
for as large a share of life, as any other class of
people.

COTTON.—Our market remains without va

We are still without advices from Liverpool, later
than Ist April. The amount of Cotton on hand
yesterday, was 4351 bags.
Our river is low, and freights high—say $2 50
to $3 00, per bale.
The advantages that are certain to result
from the decision of the president, that “for
eign merchandize may be exported for the
benefit of drawbacks to any foreign port or
place to the westward or southward of Lous
tana, although such port dr place be in the
dominions of a foreign'state immediately ad
joining the United States,” it will be appa
rent, when it is known that arrangements
were in progress for importing, directly, into
iexas and Mexioo, those foreign goods,
which, hitherto have been supplied from this
city, and upon which the consumers in our
sister republic, have heretofore obliged
to pay the duties imposed here.
llud tins arrangement been effected, as
most certainly it would, had the old system
been continued, the flourishing trade between
this city and the several parts of Mexico,
would have been diverted into other chan
nels. The Cotton of Texas would have been
shipped directly to Liverpool, and the return
cargo, free of the duty that is imposed opon
foreign goods imported into the United States
would have defied competion with our mer

Monroe county, fteorgia.
riMIE undersigned, after great labcur and ex-
A pense, is at length enabled to offer this esta
blishment tothe notice of the public.
In a climate like ours, where the enervating in
fluence of long and warm sununeis is experienced
by all, inviting the operation of causes, tending
to the production of autumnal diseases, it is an
object of no trifling import to the community to
have recourse to a situation in which the assaults
of disease may be prevented, its violence mitiga
ted, and recovery rendered speedy and effectual.
Such a place the undersigned honestly believes he
is offering i n the Montpelier Spring.
Independent of the advantageous location of
this establishment; situated in a region unques
tionably healthy; the Medical qualities of the wa
ter, are of a character entitling it to high {claims
upon the confidence of the community.
The waters of Saratoga and Ballston havekmg
since, rendered them places of extensive resort,
both by invalids and persons of fashion. And tiie
signal benefits derived from their use by persons
labouring under Chronic Diseases (especially of
the digestive organs) have obtained for them well
merited celebrity—and from a pretty accurate
analysis, by gentlemen of competent science,
comparing the result with the analysis of the
Waters of Saratoga and Ballston, as published by
Dr. Mead, tliey find the waters of the Montpelier
Spring, to possess, with a trifling exception the
same chemical qualities. Asa ohalybeate contain
ing more Iron than theformer and le ssthan tiie lat
ter, with a large proportion of the muriates ef so
da and lirne ; the most striking difference being
the absence of uncombined fixedlair, with which
the Saratoga water abounds. Of the beneficial
application of this water in disease, tiie proprietor
Can bear ample testimony.
In chronic affections of the Liver, Spleen, and
their concomitant functional derangement of the
Stomach ; he can confidently assert that he has
seen no remedy of equal nature. In dyspepsia,
that Hydra of modern times, it is an invaluable
remedy, when aided as every remedy must be, by
the temperate use of a well selected regimen. In
diseases of the skin, and particularly Tetter in all
itsvariety, it is a certain remedy.ln dropsies from
visceral obstructions, chronic rheumatism, and
■that relaxation and debility consequent upon a
residence in low, unhealthy’ situations, its value
is noteasily estimated. Abundant testimony cou 1
be produced to establish the truth of this state
ment, were it necessary; but an intelligent com
munity will make the experiment and decide for
themselves ; and With their award the proprietor
will cheerfully rest the reputation of the Bjiring.
The undersigned assures the public he
Would not thus recommend the us eof the Mont
pelier water, but having been extensively engag
ed in the practice of medicine in Georgia for near
ly thirty years, claims the right to judge of the
remedy he recommends.
This fountain js situated in one of the most
healthy and best improved situations of Georgia,
seventeen miles from Macon near the road leading
from that place to Thomaston. His building is
large, airy and comfortable, situated on an emi
nence, high and commanding; surrounded by
springs of the purest water, and fcfreshed by an
atmosphere pure and invigorating.
The proprietor will be able to accommodate
comfortably one hundred regular boarders, and as
many transient persons as may favor him with
their company; and as interest and liberality are
inseparably connected in such business, it is his
determination to keep as good a house in every
sense of the expression, as is kept elsewhere i:i
the up-country. His BAR will be stored with the
best; hid STABLES well furnished aud attended.
His prices will be the same as those charged at
the Indian Spring.
Comfortable Tents will be prepared for tko 'e
who prefer furnishing their own board.

THE subscriber respectfully informs those
owners of Property at the South, that his ac
quaintance with tire American, Form >•; nd K ;
grant Capitalists is very every extensive- -?, n d s
many many are constantly communicat: gbv let
ter and in person, malting inquiry how the'/may
invest their funds to good advantage, wisln y to
know if some plan could not be adopted, that they
mightcommunicate ahd correspond with own,
of Mines, Plantations, &c. at the South,
has induced me to open an office in this city aud
favor you wjth the following preamble and adver
tisement for your perusal.
I having (since 1 have opened my office) many
capitalists recorded on my books as applicants,
now tender my services as agent or informant, to
owners of property, more particularly those whs
own G old and other Mines, &c. Firmly believ
ing that much can be done to the advantage and
benefit of all concernod, by entering into engage
ments and contracts with CAPITALISTS, who
will unite, aud form companies, as mining com
panies, or engage as corpartnerk with private in
dividuals orcompauies already organized—-in fact
arrangements could be intered into with capital
ißts, to sell enr renter lease them property as above
described, or by allowing them a reasonable inte
rest and securing them by mortgaging unincum
bered real eetate, worth dhubie the amount cf
any sum required, money could be obtained on a
loan of-3, 5,7, and 10 years. Finally, to cor
clpde, it well be well to remark, in order to save
time, trouble and delay, it will be an invariable
rule to be observed and complied with, all first
communications on business, must fulry impart
the wishes, wants, and views of the applicant or
writer —and also, forward a full and correct des
cription of all or any property, (should real estate,
&c. in any way be connected with the business)
particularly describing its location, situation, quan
tity, divisions, improvements, quality, distance
from post, mercantile and manufacturing towns,
cities, tic. navigable streams, past and turnpike
roads, value, lowest prices, terms of payment, &c.
&c. and other necessary information and instruct
lions, &c. according to the nature of the business-
Also, each application must be accompanied witn
an advance retaining fee: For all business a
mounting to $20,000 and under, the advance lee
will bcslo (ten dollars) —and for all amounts of
$50,000 and under, the advance fee will he S2O,
(twenty dollars,) and in all cases postage must bo
paid or letters will not be taken from the pest of
fice—this last rule will be strictly enforced and
not deviated from.
N. B. Ail business, immaterial on what eu--
ject, will be attended to with the strict co .f . -:e
and secrecy, and all communications will cu
their arrival here, meet with an iramediuie an
swer per return of the first mail, idj' 1 wiU here
remark that this establishment is no way connect
ted with any other, though in the some building
with an office of a similar nature. With a hope?
of success and liberal support and patronage, I
subscribe myself your very obedient and humble
servant. JAS. F. D. OLDENBURG.
