No blame can he Sionably attached to any one for this most Istrous occurrence.

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. JOHN FERGUSON. Spring Hill, Monroe co. May 13. 9 Shocco Springs, 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 ' j An arrangement will be made to have Divina .Worship performed at the Spring on the Sabbath .(lay, when such visitors as may choose,can attend preaching w ithout inconvenience. * My terms for Board, Ac. will be the same as last year, viz. $1 per day for each grown person; $22,50 per month, or SO per week; Children and Servants half price. For Horses !f 15 per month, or 60 cents per day. ANN JOHNSON. May 12, 1831. 9— _ MIL BARTLETT, in his last Telegraph has thought proper to advertise me as a runa way apprentice. To satisfy the public that this is a libellous publication, Jr.f w hich t may proba bly hereafter convince Mr/ B) I will give them 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 lhe character of an apprentice. 1 entered into his service about 14 months since, under verba! con ditions, the spirit of which he has never complied 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 dulged in a malignant attempt to Wound my feel ings and hurt my character without my ever hav ing injured him or given him any just cause of romplaint. lint the Blow which he intended ioi 1 me will certainly recoil ifjwn his own head. I NICHOLAS W. SMITH. • ' M ylo e * Friday, May 20, 1881. 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. The following gentlemen have been appointed Directors of the Branch of the Hlate Bank of Geor gia, in Macon:— J. T. Rowland, L. Newcomb, J. G. Seymour, R. Coleman, A. Baber.* D. Woodbyry, Thomas Taylor, At a meeting of the Board this evening, J. T. Rowland was unanimously elected President. * -l new Member. 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. lor tiie Macon Advert.it.

S: CHILDERS,? Macon, May 13, g-d •Montpelier Spz 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.
