t “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.

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 let and Shakespeare ! EPIGRAM. Why should all girls, a wit exclaimed Surprising farmers be Because they are always studying The art of husband-ry 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. I ork Constellation •'YOTJCJ2.

I May If) io-tf 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.

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.

May 37-4 m ! 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. NICHOLAS CHILDERS. Montpelier, Monroe county, May 18th, 18.31. TO OUWEItS OS' GOLD MINES, PLANTATIONS, Ac.

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.
