“A poet’s hand and prophet’s fire,
•'Struck the wild warblings of his lyre.’’
MOTHER OF WASHINGTON’.
[The following beautiful lines were written by
Mrs. Sigourney, a few years sinco, while on a
visit to Fredericksburg.]
Mother of him whose godlike fame,
The Good throughout the world revere,
Ah T why without a stone or name,
Thus sleep’s! thou unregarded here ?
Fair pensile branches o’ct thee wav#.
And Nature decks the chosen dell,
Yet, surely o’er the hallowed grave
A Nation’s mournful sighs should swell—
Rome, with a burst of filial pride,
The mother of her Gracchi view’d ;
And why should we restrain the tide
Of reverential gratitude!
She to sublime Volume ia paid
Her tribute of enraptur’d tears,
W hen the dread Chief that, voice obey’d
Which sternly curb’d his infant years.
Thou, in the days of Sparta’s might,
Hadsthigh on her illustrious roll,
Bren rank’d amid those matrons bright,
Who nobly nurs’d the great of soul —
For, disciplined in Wisdom’s school,
The lofty pupil owned thy sway,
And well might he be skilled to rule,
So early nurtur'd to obey.
No enervating arts refined,
To slumber lull’d his heaven-born might;
No weak indulgence warp’d thy mind,
To cloud a hero’s path of light.
Say, when upon thy shielding breast,
The saviour of his Country hung,
"When his soft lip to thine was prest,
Wooing the accents from thy tongue—
Saw’st thou prescient o’er his brow
The shadowy wreaths of laurel start *
That fir’d with a holy glow,
The patriotic warrior’s heart.
Or, when his infant hands were taught
lly thee in simple prayer to rise—
-Say, were thy own devotion fraught
With heightened incense for the skies 7
Well rnay that realm, confiding rest,
Heroes and mighty chiefs to see,
Who finds its infant offspring blest.,
With monitors and guides like thee.
Some future age, than ours more just,
\\ ith his shall blend thy honor’d name,
And rear, exulting o’er the dust
The monument of deathless fame—
Shall thither bid young mothers wend
To bless thy spirit as they rove,
And learn, while o’er thy tomb they bend,
For Heaven to train the babes they love.
DANAS TO HER BABE PERSIES.
Bleak roar’d the blast, and Horror’s giant form
Stalk’d in the tumult of the midnight storm.
TmThs uproar wild when by the tempest shock’d
High on the tumbling surge the vessel rock’d;
Then hapless Dana* mourn’d her hitter fate,
The heartfelt curses of a father’s hate.*
Soft on her breast her slmnb’ring babe she laid :
Down gush’d theYig round tear, as thus she said:
“How fierce that foaming billow past,
And ope’d a wat’ry grave ;
Death seems to yell in ev’ry blast,
And frown in ev'ry wave.
‘Yet here with nought of care oppress’d,
My thoughtless Perseus lies ;
Sweet are the dreams that bless his rest,
The sleep that seals his eyes :
‘Else would these hapless tears be felt,
These wretched sigh’s would move
Ami teach his little heart to melt,
In tenderness and love.
‘Loud roars the storm with ruthless force,
That storm thou ounst not hear,
Dire is my father’s wrathful curse,
That curse thou canst not fear.
‘Thy looks are joy—the heart that’s glad,
The downy smile is thine ;
My lot is grief,—the soul that’s sad
The bitterest pang is mine.
t
‘To sleep in joy, thy ravish’d sense,
Ne’er may bright fancy erase ;
For all thy thought’s are innoeense,
And all thy dreams are peace.
Yes ! sleep, for thou canst sleep and warm
In rosy slumbers glow,
And with thee sleep the bitter storm,
And with thee sleep my woe.
‘0 Jove’ bestow one pitying ray,
To cheer his future hour ;
And far from Perseus turn away,
Suspicion’s baleful power.
•Nor vain that pray’r, for well I know,
Tlic fated hour will come,
To end a hapless mother’s woe,
To seal a tyrant’s doom.”
‘The father of Dana- had ordered her and his
grandson Perseus to be committed to the sea in a
dreadful night of thunder and in rain.

“Mirth, that wrinkled care derides,
“And Laughter, holding both his sides.”
A nice morality. —Some time since, a gen
tleman farmer was bargaining with a pig-dri
ver in Dorchester market for two pigs, when
the latter, to bestow a good character on the
animals, observed, “ You’ll find them ’ere a
a couple of as good moral pigs as ever you
clapped eyes on.” “ What do you mean, my
gootLfricnd ?” asked the gentleman. “Why,
your honor, you’ll find ’em as good moral pigs
as ever was, go where you will for the next.”
“ But what do you mean by moral/" “ Why,
moral pigs, your honour ; pigs as ’ll eat their
allowance any day, and do credit to their
keeper.— Tailcr.
Mr. Amos, in a lecture, lately delivered on
medical jurisprudence, related the following
singular fact:—“ 1 may mention a fact, which
of course does not appear in the printed trial,
Patch’s Counsel, then Sergeant Best, pressed
the prisoner, in conference before the trial,
to say whether he was not left-handed—but
he protested he was not——as the evidence
proved that the murder was committed by
means of a pistol shot by a-left-handed man ;
but being called upon to plead, and put up
his hand, he answered “ Not guilty,” and
raised his left hand "
The Manchester Advertiser states it a3 ra- I
tiler a whimsical fact, that at this time there
resides in the immediate neighborhood of Ox
ford Road, Manchester, three tailors bearing
the illustrious cognomens of Macbeth, Ham

TIIE FIRST STEAM'D!>AT. '
It may surprise many of our readers to learn
that the first steamboat which ever floated up
on American waters, originated in its design
and accomplishment, with a native of the
Connecticut valley. In 1785, John Fitch, a
native©fEast Windsor, Conn, conceived the
design of applying steam power to propelling
vessels, but being indigent in his circumstan
ces, and meeting with innumerable obstacles,
solicited Congress to aid him in his design,
but scepticism and doubt prevailed over his
solicitations, and assistance was denied; not
being discouraged, he succeeded in forming
a company in Philadelphia, and after unwea
ried exertions, his first rude attempt was
launched into the Delaware in the year 1789;
his education had been imperfect, but his
strong mind and habits of industry assisted
him in perfecting bis boat; the idea of wheels
had not occurred to him, but oars, working
in a frame, were substituted, aud his experi
ment was tested.
Fitch was regarded as an enthusiast and a
visionary man, and many looked upon his at
tempt with ridicule and coldness, but his
success, propitious thus fat, was to meet hu
miliating misfortunes; his boat, completed
with the most sanguine belief of its most fi
nal success, sailed for Burlington, twenty
miles from Philadelphia, and as she approach
ed the wharf the boiler burst! Chagrined and
mortified, she was towed back to the latter
city, and after unwearied efforts, anew boil
er was procured, and be again sailed for Bur
lington ; but from some cause, she only made
three miles an hour, and the expense of pro
curing other machinery being too great, liis
friends were discouraged, Fitch disheartened,
and the, enterprize was abandoned, and the
boat left to rot in the dock !
Thus it, will be seen, that efforts of genius
and enterprise, ifuneompttnied by wealth, too
often suffer and languish, and frequently are
abandoned and lost to the world, from the
scepticism of the public with regard to im
provements and inventions of doubtful utili
ty; Fitch, depressed in spirit, wearied with
unappreciated exertion and oppressed bv cre
ditors, was seized with the Yellow Fever, and
died in 1793; he continued unshaken in his
faith to the last, that steamboat navigation
would finally be successful, aad it was only
from want of pecuniary resources, that he did
not complete what was left for the triumphant
genius of Fulton to accomplish. A friend
has furnished us a little genealogical history
of Fitch and his ancestors, which may be re
lied on as accurate: Joseph Fitch, who set
tied early in Northampton, was great grand
father to John Fitch, the subject of the above
notice, and projector of the first steamboat.—
John’s father lived in East Windsor, Conn,
whose name was Joseph; he was second cous
in to Thomas Fitch, Governor of Connecti
cut iroin 1754 to 1756. Ebenczer Fitch,
who now resides in Hatfield, was first cousin
to John, who would be eighty eight years old
if he was now living. So, it appears, the first
inventor of steamboats had his early origin in
Northampton, and still has connexions living
in the neighbouring village of Hatfield.—JV.

Mineral Springs*
22 h MILES FROM MaCON.
bm m
ON the subscribers’ premises in Monroe coun
ty, Ga. 22j miles west of Macon, (on the
road leading from that place to Columbus, by way
ot 1 homaston,) are Four mineral Springs two of
which have been recently 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
i lime, the second, Oxyd of Iron, carbonic acid a
j fixed air, Sulphate of magnesia or Epsom Salts,
I and muriatic acid. The third contains the same
as the second, but has a smaller portion of the
several minerals, and is colder. The fourth is
like the second, only 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 ; \\ bieli have been established by the ex
perienee of some, who have proved its effects.—
Many laboring under chronic 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.
I'hc builders of the first four tents shall have
the privilege of timber, and can oecupy the same,
every summer for lour years. Liberel privileges
will be given to others. Tents can be rented on
moderate terms.
His house is comfortable, censtructed for the ac
commodation ot boarders or travellers. His Ta
ble shall lie well furnished, and the Bar supplied
with a variety .ot Spirits. The prices of Board
will be low ; and convenient houses arc prepared
for the accommodation of families. Tents are
now building, and other improvements going on
about the Springs. ’lhere is a Post Office kept
here, called Spring Hill. From the locality of
the place, the virtue of the waters, and the unre
mitted attention which will be paid to the accom
modation of boarders aiul travellers; he hopes to
be favored with his share of patronage.

(Ai inc miles South of Warrcnton and sixteen
miles North of Loideburg.)
4 |N the first day of June next, the Buildings of
" " this Establishment will be prepared for the
reception of 1 isitors. The Houses are large and
numerous, sufficiently so, to accommodate an as
semblage of two or three hundred persons com
fortably.
She subscriber is flattered with the expectation,
that the conveniences and improvements which
have been added to ibis Establishment, in all
those matters 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 are also made, with the
particular design of accomodating largo 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 thev
can be at all times, perfectly secure in the enjoy
ment of quiet retirement.
The Subscriber pledges 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 Public Hails are abundantly spacious to
receive all who may desire company.
No Public Hulls will be given at iShocco during
the season, but those who delight in Music and
Dancing can partake of them without its disturb
ing or annoying, in the slightest degree, thereat
ol the Hoarders.
few Watering Places present more rational
objects ot attraction thah Sltoeco. 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 clifnate many advantages, and
gives it ascendancy over all the Mineral Water
ing places to the South. It is believed that the
water never failed in its senative .effects upon
persons afflicted with Dyspepsia, Billions dis
eases and general debility, where they have per
servered in its use.
An arrangement will be made to have Divina
Worship performed at the Spring on the Sabbath
day, when such visitors as may choose,can attend
preaching without inconvenience.
My terms for Board, &c. will be the same ns

Montpelier Spring*
Monroe county, Georgia.
7SMIK undersigned, after great labour and ex-
pense, is at length enabled to offer this esta
blishment to the notice of the public.
In a climate like ours, where the enervating in
fluence of long and warm summers is experienced j
Ky 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 in 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.
i'Jie waters of Saratoga and Ballston liaveleng
since, rendered them places cf extensive resort,
both by invalids and persons of fashion. And the
signal benefits derived from their use by persons
labouring under Chronic Diseases (especially cf
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
\\ aters of Saratoga and Ballston, as published by
Dr. Mead, they find the waters of the Montpelier
Spring, to possess, with a trifling exception the
same chemical qualities. Asa chalybeate contain
ingrnore Iron than theformer and less than the lat
ter, with a large proportion of the muriates of so
da and lime ; the most striking difference being
the absence of uncombined fixed air, with which
the Saratoga water abounds. Of the beneficial
application of this water in disease, the 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 modem 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, aud particularly Tetter in all
itsvariety, it is a certain remedy. In dropsies from
visceral obstructions, chronic rheumatism, and
that, relaxation and debility consequent upon a
residence in low, unhealthy situations, its value
is net easily estimated. Abundant testimony could
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 Spring. <
’i he undersigned assures the public that he
would not thus recommend tho use of the Mont
pelier water, but having been extensively engag
ed in the practice ot medicine in Georgia for near
ly thirty years, claims the right to judo-e of the
remedy he recommends.
1 his fountain is situated in one of the most
healthy and best improved situations of Geonria,
seventeen miles from Macon near the road leadlno
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 refreshed by an
atmosphere pure and invigorating.
1 lie 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 in
the up-country. His BAR will be stored with the
best; Ins & IABLES well furnished and attended.
His prices m ill be the same as those charged at
the Indian Spring.
Comfortable Tents w ill be prepared for those
who prefer furnishing their own board.

M\ recent relinquishment of a participatin'*
m the editorial labors of an old ami well
established journal, would seem to require bn
tew preliminary remarks, in the proposed under
takmg, were it not, that they are usually demur.'
ded by public expectation, and sanctioned l, v
custom. As there is no good reason why tin
“time-honored observance” should be dram,nr/
ed in the present instance, I shall submit an° r j.*
omo ot my principles, and the course which s f n fi
be observed m Conducting „ new journal.
object el the proposed publication beimr n lm ,| v
wlrat its title implies, supercedes the necesriu
of that political commentary which the doctrines
of the day have usually demanded; yet, pi
former professions tire lurid with unabated /.
tachmeni, and there being no neutral ermiml 'i
the conflicting and varied sentiments, which dai
ly arise, as to both men and measures—it follow,
that I should not only make an exposition of - t v
political tenets, but also, that they should "io
boldly set forth, and fearlessly defended. 1 v m .'
ever indulged an ardent devotion to Republican
ism. as the term was understood by its adw cat, ,
m ’9B—a sacred regard to the letter and spirit ,f
the Constitution, aftd a determined and fixed for
Hilly to every thing like constructive or implied
powers—an extension cf equal justice to all par
ties—that all power is inherent in and drrrivo.l
from the people, as the original source and ulii
mate tribunal—the independence and distinct so
vereignty of the States, and their confederacy as
a Union, under a government limited and ectua’-
-y defined in its powers. These are the promi
nent articles if my political faith, and believin'
in their correctness, shall abide by them in even’
trial.
Among the mriny topics of deep interest tint
agitate the people of all classes, is the exercise
of unwarrantable governmental influence on th.
industry and resources of the country, ami tic
unconstitutional expenditure of the public treas
ure to objects of Internal Improvement-—measures
too frequently destitute of general benefit, ami of
tentimes marked by a spirit of partiality, selfish
ness and -injustice. It would be criminal for one
“seated on the watch-tower,” and in the exercise
ot the duties which belong to the Press, to ob
serve, with callous indifference, the causes which
have produced, and the effects which have re
sulted from the latitudinary construction of the
Constitution. The dangerous consequences which
may ensue, are already indicated by the exeite-1
feelings of the country, lam deeply impressed
that wrong has been done, and evil tolerated—
yet, with a spirit of forbearance, it would he he’
ter for the oppressed to hear their evils whils
they are tolerable, than “fly to those they know
not of.”
The present is an era in the history of our tot
eminent, distinguished for improvement. 'Th
lover of his country beholds it on its “return
march to its original purity and principles.—
Already has the distinguished head of the gov
ernment, said—“Fli* successful operation of tin
federal system Can only be preserved by confin
ing it to the few and simple, but ya important
objects for which it was designed.” This is a
guarantee, that the purpose el' the pr< sent Exe
cutive ot the Union and his supporters, is an ef
fort to restore the Constitution to its orfeinai
healthy and unimpaired condition. lam happy
i to accord with the Administration and its friend's
tn t.ie wise and well directed course which i<
pursued by them.
Ihe time was, when to dissent from the mra
sures of any of the prominent parties of our State,
by an attachment to any of the others, or to their
then distinguished organs, implied an hostility
and acrimony which frequently had no bounds
and rendered “ IVisdam, Justice, and Moderation,"
an empty and absurd profession. The times ami
circumstances have now become more conirenial
to better feelings: the perplexing difficulties
winch have surrounded us—those emanating
abroad, and fostered at home, have subsided,
with the acknowledgment of our rights, and the
successful accomplishment of nearly all the ends
which we have contended lor. 1 can review my
past course in relation to State affairs, with cheer
ing approbation; my future efforts will be inti
mately connected with the past; and it is hoped,
wiihout offenee to an adverse party. The writer
does not believe in the infallibility of man, nor
in their perfection as a parly; it will therefore be
my endeavor to support worthy men, and ap
prove such orthodox measures as may emanate
from, genuine patriotism and unadulterated re
publicanism—such measures as will best answe
toe ends of our free government, and of our
Mato s interest:—sueh men as will “defend the
rights of the People, the -Sovereignty of the
States, and the Constitutional authority of the
Union against all encroachments,”
It shall lie my studious endeavor to render the
Intelligencer an Agricultural and Mercantile v. -
n ?l e ' t 0 effect it, I shall hasten to possess mv
ol all the necessary materials which these
ample • ibjccts furnish, to unfold every species
ol information which will bo thought to instruct,
to interest, and to please. It in believed, that,
the mutual conjunction of interest, between the
•Merchant and Planter, ennnot fail to render ae
ceptabl-.* to one, whatever may benefit the other.
*ly efforts shall be used to procure the earliest
and most useful mercantile information, and lay
it before Ul9 public; and it will be iny desire to
go into Rural Affairs, and garner the choicest and
best oth-rings for my Agricultural readers.
