NEW SONG.
CUPID FISHING.
Cupid sat on a rock one day.
His tackle near him lying,
When Fortune passing hy that way,
Heard the young urchin-sighing.
“Oh,potent Love ! I shouftFiike,” said she
“ If lam free to ask it.,
Just to be given a little peep " afrf
Ihto thy fishing basket.” -
“Alas!” cried Love, “I’ve not
A presentable dish:
Bet here are sprats, a founder see,
And several flat fish >;
My luck ofl; V hasbeon so bad,
That I, who caught so many,
Now think myself supremely blest,
That I have netted any.”
“Tis even so,” replied the nymph,
“Look at-thy broken tackle :
No fish but sprats and flounders, boy r ,
Will find thy net a shaekle :
Thy arm has lost its wonted strength,
-Nor needest thou be told,
Thy net is much too slight for use,
Unless its links were gold.”
"The god look’d grave “Come now,”
cried she,
'“I’ll weave thy net afresh,
And see if any livingdhing,
Resists my golden mesh,
Depend upon it fish will bite.
In spite of wind and weather,
If thou wilt only throw in nets
•Which I have wove tosretl.cr.”
T • ”
And so itprov’d—Love fish’d away,
At ebb and flow of tide,
And ever drew a plenteous store,
When _ Fortune’s nets were ply’d ;
But if by chance, through vanity,
He chose his own light rod,
The fish would nibble, break away,
And disappoint the god.
POLISH WAR SONG.
On, hearts of steel! the Russian band
Are gathering in your native land,
Oe, hearts of steel! the Cossack’s scream
Has ’roused the mother from her dream;
She hears that shout, she knows it well—
'Twas raised when Kosciusko fell—
W hen Warsaw’s streets gave forth a flood
Of Maiden’s tears and father's blood !
J see the flaming city there,
I hoar the cries of fell despair;
1 hear the Spring Mine’s dreadful roar,
1 see a ruin stained with gore :
On, heart’s of steel! your country calls:
Shall tyrants spoil yodr father’s halls;
Shall Polish'maidens weep in vain !
On, hearts o'f steel! again—again.
On, hearts of steel! the Tartar Horde
Is on your pleasant Villas poured ;
"Shall Poland sink without a blow ?
'Shall her red blood in torrents flow 1
Shall Danube thunder o’er her slain,
While Cossacks scour o’er hill and plain ?
On, hearts of steel! for vengeance cry;
Tree Poland, or in battle die !
Shrink not from bayonet or spear;
- Conquer, or press a soldier’s bier:
’Then shall the page of history tell
Plow well you fought—how nobly fell;
• And glory, with her dazzling wreath,
Shall gild the agonies of death.
On, hearts of steel! for freedom fight;
Or Poland’s sun will set in night.
On, hearts of steel! the war-steeds neigh
By Cracow-at the close of day.
Think how Suwarrow baneful stood,
Polluting e’en a sea of blood,
When Poland sunk beneath tire blo\Vs
Of tyrant’s and of-inward foes :
P?k Traitors tothe land they trod,
Scorn’d by the free, and curs’d by God !
On, hearts M'fttcei! make bare each sword;
Fall furious'trti each Tartar Horde ;
Lay Russia’s host upon the plain ;
Break from each tyrant’s gallic -chain.
And Poland from the dust shall soar,
To own a Tyrant’s power no more.
Oh, hearts of st eel! or Freedom ne’er
Will make her glorious dwelling here,
On, hearts of steel! though cowards fly,
t'nfit to live, afraid to die—
Your true-born hearts shall-never quail
Before the showers of leaden hail;
Your blades shall glitter in the sun,
The blood of Poland’s foes shall run,
Till it shall wash away the staia
Of bowing to a tyrant’s Chain.
What though the land be drench’d in gore,
Tity banner, Poland, high shall soar;
And nations shall exult to know',
A tyrant fell at every blow ;
While Freedom, hoveling jn the air,
Shall fix her home forever there.
Then, hearts of steel, again—again,
I bid you seek the battle plain.

A living Clock. —Miss Hamil ton in her
book on education, gives a very remarkable
proof tiiat the memory of perception may be
enjoyed in high perfection, where all the
other faculties are defective. “An Idiot so
utterly destitute of the faculty of perception,
as never to be capable of acquiring the use
of speech, though it did not appear that his or
gans, either of speech or hearing, were at all
defective, was for a great number of years
confined to an apartment, where he was oc
casionally visited by his family and friends.
In this apartment stood a clock, to the strik
ing of which lie evidently appeared very at
tentive, and it was the only sign of attention,
which he ever- displayed—Every time the
clock struck, he made a cluoking noise, in
imitation of the sound and this he continued
to do as often as the hour returned. After
several years the clock was removed ; when
to the surprise of all he continued, as the hour
came, to make exactly the same noise. He
was perfectly exact in the calculation of*the
time, and nover missed an hour in the day or
the night; nor did he ever cluck once too many,
or too few. To the hour of his death, he con
tinued to give exact notice of the lapse of
time witliout the slightest variation !
New way of blacking Boots. —An Inn
keeper in Connecticut, who was prodigously
fond of a joke, and valued himself more on his
gibes and geers, than his good accommoda
tions and honest reckonings—one day, as he
was sitting before his door, observing a raw
looking young man from the country, whose
boots were polished much beyond the gener
al style of Iris appearance. Boniface think
ing he would be a capital subject for sport,
called to him.
‘llore young man, I wish to you.’
The fellow stopped, and Boniface proceed
ed.
‘I admiro the appearance of your boots—
such a beautiful jet black! I wish you’d tell
me how to black mine.’
‘That,’ said the awkard looking fellow,
‘ vou can do easy enough—jist rub them against

That I might bo both night and day,
To thy fair bosom prest. v

From which you take your tea;
For then I know at every sip
You’d give a kiss to me.
What ts meant by a Gentleman. —There is
something strangely attractive in the charac
ter of a gentleman, when you employ the word
emphatically, and yet in that sense of the
term which it is more easy to fed than to de
fine. It neither includes the possession of
high moral excellence, ner of necessity even
the ornamental graces of manner. I have
now in myanind’s ve a person whose life
would scarcely stand scrutiny even in a court
of honor, much less in that of conscience ;
and his manners, if nicely observed, would,
of the two excite an idea ofawkardness rather
than of elegance ; and yet every one who
conversed with him felt and acknowledged
the gentleman. The secret of the matter 1
believe to be this We feel the gentleman
ly character present ta:us whenever, under
all the circumstances of social intercourse, A
trivial not less than the important, through
the whole detail of his manners and deport
ment, and with the ease of a habit, a person
shows respect to others in such away as at
the same time implies, in his ovvu feelings, an
habitual and assured anticipation of recipro
cal respect from them to himself. In short,
the gentlemanly character arises out of the
felling of equality as a habit, yet inflexible to
the varieties of rank, and modified without be
ing disturbed or superseded hv them.

PKOSPECTIS
OF THE
juaqok Ms/sm
.lad .Agricultural and Mercantile Intelligencer.
MY recent relinquishment ef a participation
in the editorial labors of an old and well
established journal, would seem to require but
few preliminary remarks, in the proposed under
taking, were it not, that they are usually deman
ded by public expectation, and sanctioned by
custom. As there is no good reason why this
“time-honored observance” should be disregard
ed in the present instance, I shall submit an epit
ome of my principles, and the course which shall
be observed in conducting anew journal. The
object of the proposed publication being purely
what its title implies, supercedes the necessity
of that political commentary which the doctrines
of the day have usually demanded; yet, as my
former professions are held with unabated at
tachment, and there being no neutral ground, in
the conflicting and varied sentiments, which dai
ly arise, as to both men and measures—it follows,
that I should trot only make an exposition of my
political tenets, but also, that they should be
boldly set forth, and fearlessly defended. I have
ever indulged an ardetit devotion to Republican
ism, as the term was understood by its advocates
in ’9B—a sacred regard to the letter and spirit of
the Constitution, and a determined and fixed hos
tility to every thing like constructive or implied
powers—an extension of equal justice to all par
ties—that all power is inherent in and derived
from the people, as the original source and ulti
mate tribunal —the independence and distinct so
vereignty of the States, and their confederacy as
a Union, under a government limited and actual
.y defined in its powers. These are the promi
nent articles of mv political faith, and believing
in their correctness, shall abide by them in ever}’
trial.
Among the many topics of deep interest that
agitate the people of all classes, is the exercise
of unwarrantable governmental influence on the
industry and resources of the country, and the
unconstitutional expenditure of the public treas
ure to objects of Internal Improvement— -measures
too frequently destitute of general benefit, and of
tentimes marked by a.spirit of partiality, selfish
ness and in justice. It would be criminal for one
“seated on the watch-tower,” and in the exercise
of the duties which belong to the Press, to ob
serve, with callous iudifference, the causes which
have produced, and the effects which have re
sulted front the latitudinary construction of the
Constitution. The dangerous consequences wliibh
may ensue, are already indicated by the excited
feelings of the country. lam deeply impressed
that wrong has born done, and evil tolerated—
yet, with a spirit of forbearance, it would be bet
ter for the oppressed to bear their evils whilst
they arc tolerable, than “fly to those they know
not of.”
The present is an era in the history of our gov
ernment, distinguished for improvement. The
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—“Th# successful operation of the
federal system can only be preserved by-confin
ing it to the few and simple, but yet important
objects for which it was designed.” This is a
guarantee, that the purpose of the present Exe
cutive of the Union and his supporters, is an ef
fort to restore the Constitution to its original
healthy and unimpaired condition. lam happy
to accord with the Administration and its friends
in the wise and well directed course which is
pursued by them.
The time was, when to dissent from the mea
sures of any of the prominent parties ef 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 “ Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation,"
an empty and absurd profession. The times and
circumstances have now become more congenial
to better feeling's: the perplexing difficulties
which 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 for. I 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,
without oft'enee to an adverse party. The writer
does not believe in the infallibility of man, nor
in their perfection as a party; 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 answer
the ends of our free government, and of our
State’s interest:—such 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 he my studious endeavor to render the
Intelligencer an Agricultural and Mercantile ve
hicle: to effect it, I shall hasten to possess my
self of all the necessary materials which thesa
ample subjects furnish, to unfold every species
of information which will be thought to instruct,
to interest, and to please. It is believed, that
the mutual conjunction-of interest, between the
Merchant and Planter, cannot fail to render ac
ceptable to one,-whatever may benefit the other.
My efforts shall be used to procure the earliest
and most useful mercantile information, and lay
it before the public; and it will be my desire -to
go into Rural Affairs, and garner the choicest and
best offerings for my Agricultural readers.

•Mineral Springs,
22 k MILES FROM MaCON’.
6S3S2SJ® smut* ffiiu
ON the subseribers' premises in Monroe coun
ty, Ga. 22{ miles west of Macon, (on the
road leading from that place to-Columbus, by way
of Thomaston,) are Four mineral Springs two of
which have been recenily discovered. They have
been analyzed, and are found to contain the fol
lowing minerals : The first is strongly impregna
te! with Carbonate oflron, 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 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 ; which have been established by the ex
perienoe of some, who have proved its effects.—
Many laboring underehronic diseases have been
much benefitted, and others cured.
The local situation is high and airy, and the
sweet or free stone water is equal in coolness, pu
rity aiuUiealth, 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.
His house is comfortable, censtructed for the ac
commodation of boarders or travellers. His Ta
ble shall be well fnmished, and the Bar supplied
with a variety Jof Spirits. The prices of Board
will be low; and convenient houses are prepared
for the accommodation of families. Tents are
now’ building, and other improvements going on
about the Springs. There is a Post Office kept
here, called Spring Hill. From the locality of
the place, the virtue of the waters, and the unre
nlifted attention which will be paid to the accom
modation of boarders and travellers; he hopes to
be* favored with his share of patronage.

WARREN COUNTY, N. CAROLINA.
(Nine miles South tf Warrcnton and sixteen
miles North of Louisburg.)
ON the first day of June next, the Buildings of
this Establishment will be prepared for the
reception of V isitors. The Houses are large and
numerous, sufficiently so, to accommodate an as
semblage of two or three hundred persons com
fortabiy.
She subscriber is flattefed 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 preterit. They are so arranged, as to com
bine every convenience and accommodation, suit
ed to tlie largest or smallest assembly, male and
female. Arrangements are 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, w here they
can he 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, A w ill 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 Halls are abundantly spacious to
receive all who may desire company.
No Public Balls will be given at Shocco 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, the rest
of the Boarders.
Few Watering Places present more rational
objects ot attraction than Shocco. Located in the
most healthy, rich and populous part ofths 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 Water
ing places to the South. It is believed that the
water never failed in its senative .effects upon
persons afflicted with Dyspepsia, llillious 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. .’

•llonlpelitr Spring,
Monroe comity, Georgia.
PJMIE undersigned, after great labour and ex-
JL 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
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 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.
The waters of Saratoga and Ballston have long
since, rendered them places of extensive resort,
both by invalids and persons of fashion. Ami the
signal benefits derived from their use by persons
labourir. • 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
\\ a tors of Saratoga and Ballston, as published by
Dr. Mead, they find the waters of the Montpelier
Spring, to possess, with a trilling exception the
same chemical qualities. Asa chalybeate contain
ing more Iron than theforiner 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 llie 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 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 .In 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 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 awmrd the proprietor
will cheerfully rest the reputation of the Spring.
The undersigned assures the public that" he
would not thus recommend -the use of 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 is situated in one of the most
healthy and best improved situations of Georgia,
seventeen miles frcir. 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 refreshed by an
atmosphere pure and invigorating.
The proprietor w’ill 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 ia every
sense of the expression, as is kept elsew here in
the up-eountry.. His BAR will be stored with the
best; his STABLES wellfurnished and attended.
His prices will he the same as those charged at
the Indian Spring.
Comfortable Tents will be -prepared for those
who prefer furnishing their own board.

THE subscriber respectfully informs those
owners of Property at the South, that his ac
quaintance with the American, Foreign and Emi
grant Capitalists is very-every extensive—and as
many are constantly communicating by let

invest their funds to good advantage, wishing to
know if some plan could not be adopted, that They
might communicate and correspond with owners

1 having (since I 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 who
own Gold and other Mines, Ac. Firmly believ
ing that much can be done to the advantage and
benefit of all concerned, by entering into engage
ments and contracts with CAPITALISTS, who
will unite, and form companies, as mining com
panies, or engage as corpartners with private in
dividuals orcompauies already organized—in fact
arrangements could be intered into with capital
ists, to sell or rent or lease them property as above
described, or by allowing them a reasonable inte
rest and securing them by mortgaging unincum
bered real 'eetate, worth double the amount of
any sum required, money could be obtained on a j
loan of J, 5,7, and 10 years. Finally, to cctn.
elude, 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
