.i- .“A poet’s hand and prophet’s fire,
“Struck the wild warblings of his lyre.”
THE FARMER,
By T. C. Fbssemwn.
Let monied blockheads roll in wealth,
Let proud fools strut in state —
My hands, my homestead and my health ,
Place me above the great.
] never fawn, nor fib, nor fain,
To please old Mammon’s fry
But Independence still maintain;
Of all beneath the sky.
Thus Ciucinnatus at his plough,
With more true glory shone,
Than Caesar with his laurel’d brow,
His palace and his throne.
Tumult, perplexity and care;
Are bold ambition’* lot;
But these intruders never dare
Disturb my peaceful cot.
Blest with fair competence, I find
What monarch* never can —
Health and tranquility of mind,
Heaven’s choicest gifts to man.
YOUTH RENEWED.
From the Literary Souvenir.
Spring-flowers, spring-birds, spring breezes,
Are felt, and heard, and seen :
Light trembling transport seizes
My heart—with sighs beiwaen ;
These old enchantments fill the mind
With scenes and seasons far behind ;
Childhood, its smiles and tears,
Youth, with its flush of years,
Its morning clouds and dewy prime,
More exquisitely tinged by time.
Fancies again are springing,
Like May-flowers in the vales,
While long-lost hopes are singing
From thorns, like nightingales ;
And kindly spirits stir my blood,
Like vernal airs that curl the flood,
There falls to manhood’s lot,
A joy which youth has not,
A dream more beautiful than truth,
Returning spring renewing Youth!
Thus sweetly to surrender
The present for the past,
In sprigihtly mood, yet tender,
Life* burthen down to cast,
This is to taste, from stage to stage,
Youth on the ices refined by age i
Like wine well kept, and long,
Heady, nor harsh nor strong,
A richer, purer, mellower draught,
With every annual cup is quaffed.
INSCRIPTION
In a beautiful Retreat, culled Fairy Bower.
Airy spirits, you who love
Cooling bow’r, or shady grove:
Streams that murmur as they flow,
Zephyrs bland that softly blow;
Babbling echo, or the tale
Of the love-lorn nightingale;
Hither, airy spirits, come,
This is your peculiar home,
If you love a verdant glade.
If you love a noon-tide shade,
Hither, sylphs and fairies fly,
Unobserv’d of earthly eye.
Come and wander ev’ry night,
By Uie moon-beam’s gliinm’ring light;
And again atearly day,
Brush the silver dews away.
Mark where first the daisies blow,
Where the bluest violets grow ;
Where the sweetest linnet sings,
Where the earliest cowslip springs;
Where the largest acorn lies,
Precious in a fairy’s eyes;
Sylphs, though uncoufin’d to place,
Love to fill an acorn’s space.
Come, and mark within what bush
Builds the blackbird or the thrush ;
Great his joy who spares the prize !
Come, and watch tne hallow’d bow’f,
Chase the insect from tho flow’r;
Little offices like these,
Gentle souls and fairies please.
Mortals! form’d cf grosser clay,
From our haunts keep far away ;
Or, if you should dare appear,
Eee that you from vice are clear,
Foily’sminioa, Fashion’s fool,
JVlud Ambition’s restless tool!
Slave of passion, slave of pow’r,
Ily, ab tty ! this tranquil bower!
Bon of Av’rice, soul of frost,
Wretch ! of llcav’n abhorrd the most,
Learn to pity others’ wants,
Or avoid these hallow’d haunts,
Eye unconscious ofa tear,
When Affliction’s train appear ;
Heart that never heav’d a sigh,
For another, come not nigh.’
But, ye darling sons of Heav’n,
Giving freely what was giv’n ;
You, whose lih’ral hand dispense
The biessii , if benevolence :
You, who wipe the tearful eye,
You, viio Btop the rifting sigh ;
You, whose souls have understood
Tne luxury of doing good—
Gome, yt h-Yiv • otuou-lew,
Open is ruy bow’r to you ;
You, these mossy batiks may press;
Yiu, eu**h guardian fay shall bless.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
m&Mm MmwsNsm*
And Agricultural and Mercantile Intelligencer.
MY recent relinquishment of 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 hy
custom. As there is no good reason why this
“time-honored observance” should be disregard
ed in the present instance,T 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 arc 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 not 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 ardent 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—ihe 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 my political faith, and believing
in their correctness, shall abide by them in every*
trial.
Among the many topics of deep interest that ■
agitate the people of all classes, is the exercise j
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 injustice. 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.iuditferenee, 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 excited
feelings of the country. lam deeply impressed
that wrong has been done, and evil tolerated —
yet, with a spirit of forbearance, it would be bet
ter for the oppressed to bear their evils whilst
they are tolerable, than “fly to those they know
not of.”
The present is an ora 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—“ The 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 restoro the Constitution to its original
healthy and unimpaired condition. lam happy
lo accord with the Administration audits frit mis
in the wise and well directed course which is
pursued hy them.
The time was, when to dissent from the mea
sures of any of the prominent parties of our St ate,
by an attachment to any of the others, or to their
then distinguished organs, implied an hostility
and acrimony which frequently had no bounds,
i and rendered “ Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation,’’'
an empty and absurd profession. The times and
circumstances have now become more congenial
to better feelings: 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 offence 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
iny 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 encroachments.”
It shall be my studious endeavor to render fhe-
Intelligencer an Agricultural and Mercantile ve
hicle: to effect it, 1 shall hasten to possess my
self of till the necessary materials which these
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 he my desire to
go into Rural Affairs, and garner the choicest and
best offerings for my Agricultural readers.

Springs ,
22 i MILES FROM MaCCN.
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
of Thonvaston,) are Four mineral Springs two of
which have been rccenily discovered. They have
been analyzed, and aic found to contain the fol
low ing 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 tire 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 Tunic and al
ternative ; which have been established by the ex
perience of some, who have proved its effects. —
Many laboring underchronic diseases have been
much benefited,and others cured.
Tire 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,

Sliocco Springs,
WARREN COUNTY, N. CAROLINA.
(Nine miles South of 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 Visitors. 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 coiivi nienees and improvements which
have been added to iliis 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 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 pledges herself to devote her
’ chief exertions to the accommodation of private
families, & w ill spare no means to render visitors
happy and agreeable, by providing every tiling
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 Sliocco during
the season, but those who delight in Music and
Dancing can partake of them without its disturb
ing or annoy ing, in the slightest degree, the rest
ot the Boarders.
Few Watering Places present more rational
objects of attraction than .Sliocco. Located in die
must healthy, rich and populous part of tbs coun
try, in the midst of a polished society, it affords
in its Springs and climate many advantages, and
give* 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 ami general debility, where they have per
servered in its use.
An arrangement will be made to have Pivina
Worship performed at the Spring on the Sabbath
day, when such visitors as may choose, can attend
preaching w ithout inconvenience.
My terms for Board, &c. will be the same as
last, year, viz. $1 per day for each grow n person ;
if 22,50 per month, or $6 per week ; Children and
Servants half price. For Horses sls per month,

Spring,
illonroc comity, Georgia.
TgllTE undersigned, after great labour and ex
* p< use, is at length enabled to oiler 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 winch the assaults
of disease may be pr< vented, i'.s 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. Aad the
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, they find the waters of the Montpelier
Spring, to possess, with a trifling exception the
same chemical qualities. Asa chalybeate contain
ing more Iron than theformer and less lhan 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 w hich
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, and particularly Tetter in all
itsvaricty, 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 not 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.
The undersigned assures the public that he
w ould 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 from Macon near the road loading
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 will be able to areommodate
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 bis
determination to keep as good a house in every
sense of the expression, as is kept elsewhere in
the up-country. Ilis BAR will be stored with the
best; his STABLES well furnished and attended.
His prices will bet! e same as those charged at
the Indian Spring,
Comfortable Tents will be prepared for those
who prefer furnishing their own board.

IMIE subscriber respectfully informs those

quaintance with the American, Foreign and Emi

many are constantly communicating hy let
ter and in person, making inquiry how they may
invest their funds to good advantage, wishing to
know if seme plan could not be adopted, that they
might communicate and correspond with owners
of Mines, Plantations, &e. at the South, &c

I having (since J 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

ing that much can be done to the advantage and
benefit ol all concerned, by entering into engage

will unite, and form companies, as mining com
panies, or engage as corpartncrs with private in
dividuals orcompauies already organized in fact
arrangements could be intered into with capital
ists, to sell c r rent ur 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
loan of o, 5, /, and 10 years. Finally, to eon.
elude, it well he well to remark, in order to save
time, trouble amt delay, it will be an invariable
rule to be observed and complied with, all first I
communications on business, roust fuliy impart
the wisher, tuanh, and views ot the applicant or
writer and also, forward a full and correct des
cription of all or any property, (should real estate,
&o. in any way be connected with the business)
particularly describing its location, situation, quan

from post, mercantile and manufacturing towns
cilice, &c. navigable streams, post and turnpike
roads, va'ue, lowest prices, terms of payment, &e.
&c. and other necessary information and instruc
tions, &e. according to the nature of the business.
Also, each application must be accompanied with
an advance retaining fee : For all business a
mounting to $20,000 and under, the advance fee

$50,000 and under, the advance fee will be S2O,
