The Jfliscellanist . —■ a FRAGMfcN*T. “Well, well, 1 think it’s likelyj hut dfci’t tease me any more. Your brother has mar ried a poor girl, one whom I forbid hfci to Bfcarry, and I won’t forgive him if they all starve together.” This speech addressed to a lovely girl scarcely eighteen rears old—beautiful as the lily that hides itseli beneath the dark waters. She was parting the silvery locks fa ther’s high, handsome forehead, of which her own was a miniature, and pleading the cause of her delinquent brother, who had married against her father’s will and had consequent berm disinherited, and left to poverty. Old Mr. Wheatley was a rich old gentleman, a re sident of Boston. He was a fat, good natured old fellow, somewhat given to mirth and wine and sat in his arm chair from morning till night,smoking his pipe and reading Hie news papers. Sometimes a story of his own ex ploits in our revolutionary battles, tilled up a passing hour. He had two children, the dis obedient son, and the beautiful girl, before spoken of. The fond girl went on pleading. “Dear father do forgive him, you don’t know what a beautiful girl he has married, -and ” “ l think its likely,” said the old man,“but don’t tease, and open the door a little, this plaugy room smokes so ” “Well,”continued Ellen," won’t you just see her now, she is so good—and the little boy—he looks so innocent—” “What did you say,” interrupted the fath er, “ a bey ! have 1 a grandchild ? why, why, Ellen, I never knew that before ! but I think its likely. Well, now give me my chocolate and then go to your music lesson.” Ellen left him. The old man’s heart be gan to relent. “Well,” he went on, “Charles was always a good boy, a little wild or so at College, but I indulged him ; and he was al ways good to his old father, for all ; but he disobeyed me by marrying this poor girl; yet as my old friend and fellow soldier, Tom Boner, used to say, vve must forget and for give. Poor Tom ! 1 would give all the old shoes fve got, to know what ever became of him. If I could but find him or one of liis children—heaven grant they are not sull’er ing !—This plaguy smoky room—haw my eyes water ! if I did but know who this girl was, that Charles has married—but I have! never inquired her name, i’ll find out and ! 99 “Then you will forgive him !” said Ellen, rushing into the room. • “I think it’s likely,” said the old man. Ellen led into the room a beautiful boy about two years old. His curly hair and ro sy cheeks could not but make one love him. “Who is that?” said the old man wiping his eyes- . “That—that is Charles’ boy,;' said Ellen, throwing one of her arms round her father’s neck, while with the other site placed the -child on his knee. The child looked tender ly up into his face, and lisped out, “grand-pa what makes you cry so?” The old man clasped the child to his bosom aud kissed him again iiudalgeft,* uc Ufag ilitf child tell his name. “Thomas Bonner Wheatley,” said the boy, “I am named after grand-pa.” “ What do I hear” said the old man, “Tho mas Bonner your grand-father?” “Yes, lisped the bov, and he lives with Ma ” me my cane!” said the old man, ‘and come Ellen, you come along—be quick child!” They started off at a quick pace, which soon brought them to the poor though neat lodgings of his son. There he beheld his old friend Thomas Bonner, seated in one cor ner weaving baskets, while his swathed limbs showed how unable he was to perform the necessary task. Ilis lovely daughter, the wile of his Charles, was preparing their frugal meal, and Charles was out seeking employ ment to support his needy family. Mr. Whcatly burst into tears. “ It’s all my fault!” sobbed the old man as lie embraced his old friend, who was petrified with amazement. Whop they became a lit tle com[>osed —“Come,” said Mr .Whqatly, “come all of you home with me, we will all live together; there is plenty of room in toy house for us all.” By this time Charles had come. He asked his fade r’s forgiveness, which was freely gjp. on, and Ellen was almost wild with joy. • “Oh, how happy we shall be,” she exclaim ed, “and father, you will love little Thomas so—and he’ll be your pet, won’t he?” “Ay,’’said the oldman “Ithink it’s likely.” Woman. —As the vine which has long en twined its graceful foliage around the gnarled oak aijd been lifted by it into sunshine, will, when the aspiring plant has bebanae the har dy ruder of the,forest.and is then marred by -the riding thunder belt, still fondly cling with its caressing tendrils around the riven trunk: and delicately bind up the shattered boiAsdts of-its former supporters; so it is beau tifully ordered by a Providence ever benign, that woman who is naturally dependent and -ornament of ruder man in his happiest hours, -should be-fiis stay and soUci when smitten by calamity. For thongh in converse with ; the world man may hide the blast with or-! dinary resolu ;on, woman m the moment of sudden adversity evinces a-more exalted for "titude, amiable and mildly blending the calmness of moral firmness with the loveli ness of Christian resignation. While she cn fibres herself into flic recesses of his nature, gently upholding the drooping head, and trooing tlic barb of anguish from the core of! the wounded heart, she chastely presses him to the dove-like resting place-of sympathy and thrilling tenderness. Female enthusiasm. It is, especially when under the influence of !o\<* of jealousy, or of superstition, in Ihe transport of maternal tenderness, <or in the manner in which they partake of popular e r.wtions-—it is in these, cases, more than in other,that.woman excites our astoniah t and admiration ; lieautiful as the sera- J'Hr-a of Clupstock, terrible as the demon of THE MACON ADVEItTiSEH, AND AGRICULTURAL AND MEIiCAN’I'ILE INTKLLIGENCER. Milton. The distinctions of j busy & conten tious life, interrupt and repress the passions of men ; but woman broods in silence and re tirement over those which occupy her mind. “To plunge a woman into madness, who is under the influence of intense emotion,” says M. Diderot, “it is only necessary that she at tain the solitude she seeks.” “A man,” he continues, “never sat at Delphi on the sacred tripod ; a woman alone could deliver the I’i thian oracle, could alone raise her mind to such a pitch, as seriously to imagine the ap proach of a God, and, parting with emotions, to cry, “i perceive him ! 1 perceive hiuv! there; there ! the god!” It was a woman, too that walked barefooted in the streets of Alexandria, with dishevelled hair, a torch in one hand, and a vessel of water in the other, exclaiming, “I will burn the heavens with this torch, and extinguish the fires of hell with this water, may love his God for himself alone.” Such parts are to be act ed by women alone. From the National Intelligencer of Aug. Vi. COL. JOHNSON’S REPLY TO MR. ING HAM. Blue Spring, 2d, August, 1831. Messrs. Hales and Seaton : After having finished the within letter, I discovered in your paper of 23d ult. that Mr Ingham had published his letter to me as well as his state ment. You will please, therefore, to publish this letter as my reply, and oblige your obe dient servant, R’H. M. JOHNSON. Blue Spring, July 31, 1831. Dear Sir: —Yours of the 16th instant was this day received, accompanied with a state ment, which, it seems you have prepared for the public, purporting to contain separate conversations with the President and myself, relative to an allegation made in the public journals that General Jackson had author ized a Member of Congress to require of Messrs. Berrien, Branch, and yourself, and your families, to associate with Ma jor Eaton, and his family, under the penalty -of being dismissed from office. You refer to tw o ar ticles in the Globe t-o justify your appeal to I the public, previously to receiving my answer in which it appeared that I had denied the above allegation, if it had any allusion to me. After the publication of this accusation against General Jackson, I received a letter from a friend, intimating that I was the mem ber of Congress to whom allusion was made, and requested to know if I had ever made such a communication. In my answer, 1 confined myself to the specific accusation thus publicly made against the President and which is attributable to yourself,and most un equivocally denied that General Jackson ever made such a requisition through me, and as positively denied having ever made such a statement to you. On the contrary, l assert ed, and now- repeat, I did inform you, in each and every ]'f n A ! htimiYo I ]hterfere in any manner whatever with the regulation of your p. .vatc or social intercourse. Thus, in a matter in which I was engaged to serve you and other friends, in a matter of a delicate and highly confidential nature, and in which Lsueceeded, unexpectedly I found myself presented in the public journals as a witness impeaching one of those friends, and ascribing to him declarations which he never made; and placed in that attitude by you, self-respect and self-defence called upon me to correct that erroneous statement. 1 cannot, therdfflrc, agree with you, that I did in any degree change rny view of the subject in considering it improper in any of the par ties to come before the public without the op portunity of comparing our different recol lections. But if you feel un ler any obliga tions of a personal or political character to come before the public previously, you will find me already as yourself io meei any fe sponsibihto- or difficulty which such a course may produce. this date, I have con sidered my correspondence with you and Mr. Berrien of a character ribt to be divulged to any one, and have therefore confined ii to my own bosom. The object of my first letter to you was to declare frankly and candidly, in the spirit of perfect respect and friendship, that I was misunderstood, provided I was the member of Congress to whom reference was made, tlrat you might have it in your power to correct your misapprehension of my com munications. I did not see how it could impeach your character or lessen your reputation to consid er and acknowledge it a mistake, without yo tr assumption of the ground that you un derstood ine better than l understrod myself, and that you could make the public believe so. My standard of confidence and friend ship, arising from’a personal and political in timacy of twenty years, would have dictated that course tome. Such a course could have been injurious to none, and less troublesome to all. But so far as lam concerned, I fee! perfectly willing to take the course adopted by yourself, of placing our views before the public. Ido not, however, think that it will be much benefittod by our labors; and I am farther induced to believe that the public will place a less value upon the controversy than you do. In denying the confidential character of our conversations, you urge, as one consideration, that the intimation to in vite Maj. Eaten and his family to your large parties was .offensive, although you arc kind enough to believe that I did not so intend it. If the nature of the suggestion changed in your mind the character of the conversation, and the relation of that perfect friendship which had so long existed, would it not hare been magnanimous and generous in you to have advised me of it? I now come to the material point in controversy—whether Gen eral Jackson, through me, required of you to invito Maj. Eaton and his families to your large parties. This was made upon my own responsibility, with an anxious desire more effectually to reconcile the then existing dif ficulties.. But Gen. Jackson never did make such a requisition, in any manner whatever, directly or indirectly; nor did I ever inti mate to you that he had made such a demand. The complaint made by Gen. Jackson against this part of his cabinet was specific, that he had been informed, and was induced to be lieve, that they were using their influence to have Major Ea'ort and his family excluded from all respectable circles, for the purpose of degrading him, and thus drive him from office ; and that the attempt had been made even upon the foreign ministers, and in one case had produced the desired effect. He proposal no mode of aecoii:modatiflor satis faction, but declared expressly,that if such was the fact he would dismiss them from of fice. He then read to me a paper contain ing the principles upon which lie intended to act, which disclaimed the right to interfere with the social relations of his cabinet. — Acting in the capacity of a mutual friend, and obeying the impulse of my own mind, can it be supposed that I would have misrep resented any of the thus defeat the object I had in view ? I should have con sidered it a gross violation of tire ties of that friendship which then existed between*is, to have carried on to you such a message, as that you should invite Maj. Eaton and his family, or any other persons, to your large or small parties, under a menace of dismissal from op fice. When the President mentioned this charge of conspiracy, 1 vindicated you agaitHt it. I gave it us mv opinion that he was mis informed. To prevent a rupture, I request ed the President to postpone calling upon those members of his cabinet till Saturday, that I might have the opportunity of two days to converse with them. When I made my report to the President, I informed him that I was confirmed in my ojiinion previously expressed, that lie had been misinformed as to the combination and conspiracy. I informed him of your unequi vocal and positive denial of the fact, and communicated every thing which transpired between us calculated to satisfy his mind on the subject. It was this report of mine that gave him satifaction, and changed his feel ings and determination —not his ground as you have supposed; with me he had no ground to change. He had assumed none except that which I have stated ; nor did I ever make use of such an expression to you that he had changed his ground. It is true that I inform ed you that the President was very much ex cited, but I do not now recollect the precise language used to convey my idea of that ex citement. I presume you had the advantage of your private memoranda, when you say I compared him to a roaring Lion. Aon attribute to me another declaration which I never made—that on our way to Mr. Berrien’s 1 stated that the President had in formed me that he would invite Mr. Branch, Mr. Berrien, and yourself, to meet him on the next Friday, when he would inform you of his determination in the presence ol Dr. Ely. I never received or communicated such an idea. The paragraph is substantially correct when that part in reference to Dr. Ely is ex punged. It is true, in some of our various conversa tions, the name of Dr. Ely was mentioned, but in connection with another part of the ,f imXameU ***_, tll^l when the rumors against Maj. Eaton and his family had been opened to him by Dr. Ely, he had invited the accusers to make good their charges, and that they had failed—this is the substance of that part of our conversa tion in which Doctor Ely’s name was men tioned. Again, you say 1 called at your house at about 5 o’clock, when we walked to Mr. Berrien’s. The fact is that you called for me I at my lodgings about that time, by a previous I appointment. This is a mistake in a matter \ of fact of no great importance, except to show how easily w& forget. If we thus dif fer in matters of fact, how much more liable to differ as to words; and still more as to the time, manner, and circumstances in which these words have been introduced, and still more as to the precise meaning the speaker wishes t-> convey to the hearer! Having thought it important to memoran dum our conversation, would if not have giv en additional proof or your friendship and confidence, and would it not have been an act ofjustico to me, to have furnished me with it, (so far as l was concerned,) that I might have corrected, if necessary, any erro ncous impressions which my conversations may have made upon you? The witness in court is often misunderstood by lawyers and jury, and as often called upon to correct the mistake and to explain his meaning; and you have gained little, in your desire to be ac curate, sp far as 1 am concerned, by failing to present me with your private memoranda; and if now furnished, I dare think that 1 might put a different construction upon your own notes. Again : you are incorrect in supposing that I informed you that the President requested me to converse with you and your colleagues. It was iny own proposition ; and in this you will find l am supported by Mr. Berrien.— Nor did 1 ever say that your families had uot returned f tie call of Mr. Eaton ;?and that if they would leave the first card, and open a formal intercourse in that way, the President would Ibe satisfied. Such an idea never entered my inind ; for I never did know the precise man ner in whirl, the social non-intercourse ex isted between your families, whether cards had ever passed from either or not ; and sure 1 am, that the President and myself never had any conversation on the subject. From first to .last my my efforts were put forth to reconcile the parties concerned; they were for the time being successful. I have never claimed anv merit for what I did: 1 felt, hap py, however, that I was in .any way instru mental in prolonging die political relations which have since been severed, in which 1 have had no agency, and which 1 deeply re gretted. Having thus acted, to. my great mor tification I find myself dragged before the public to vindicate myself against sentiments and conversations imputed to me by a part of those friends, without the opportunity of explaining to them their misapprehension of what.l did say. M ithout adverting to any farther inaccura cies of your letter and statement, I have the honor to he, Very Respectflly, Your obed’t serv’t. „ R. M. JOHNSON. Hon. Samuel D. Ingham. LATEST NEWS FROM EUROPE. Since our last, advices have been receiv ed from Europe up to July. The Packet ship* Manchester and Sheffield, both arrived together on the 10th,at New York, bringing Liverpool papers to the 7tli of July. In the British House of Commons, on the oth ult. the Reform Bill was ordered to a second reading, by a vote of 361 to £il ; ma jority 130. The 12th was fixed for the dis cussion in Committee. The King of France has summoned the, Chambers for the 23d of July, instead of the 9th of August, the day previously fixed ; in dkler, it is said, to secure time for the pas sage of a law to authorise the receipt of the contribution i idirecicrs. The Morning Her ald affirms Paris to be still in a ferment; and adds :—“all eyes are still turned towards the approaching anniversary of the which is invoked mth exultation by the move ment party, dreaded with horror by the friends of tranquility, and anticipated with intense anxiety by all. The Ministry seem to be fully fusible of the danger in which (bey particularly are plneed, and are now bow ed before a force which they manifestly in tended at first, by calling 30,000 regular troops to their aid in Paris, to have opposed, and hoped to conquer. The King, it is now said, will attempt to take the direction of the great national celebration into his own hands by imposing upon it something of the shape of a Court ceremonial; but it will be for the event to show whether this Citizen Monarch still possesses the magic wood by which he could 12 months ago lay the wliirldwind of men’s minds, and guide the storm ot their pas- sions. Prince Leopold lias consented to accept the Belgian throne, on terms, which, it is supposed, will Ik- at last agreed to by their Congress. The" London Courier criticises his letter as “too cold, too calculating, too diplomatical;” and says :—We would there fore implore the Bclgiams to look at the spir it rather than the letter of his qualified ac ceptance of the Crown, and to comply with the conditions imposed by their Sovereign.— We may not implore this in vain, when we tell them that their friends (who are then friends because they are the friends of nation al independence every where) in the Confer ence have resolved, that the obstinacy of the King of Holland shall not prevail against the spirit of justice and equity which has rcgida ted the decisions taken with respect to Belgi um. If the Belgians do what is right they may be assured that the Kingof Holland must do what is liberal, or have to contend, single handed, against the Kingdom of Belgium.— There are those in the Belgian Congress who will understand what we rnean, and explain it to their colleagues and tho nation. Brussels papers of July 6th, had reached London :—There have been some stormy discussions in the Congress at Brussels, one party declaring tor war, and the other re commending the acceptance of the terms of the Allied Powers, and of Prince Leopold as SoVCrP'ff 7 ’ If ic antopefotl that the latter party will carry the question by a respectable majority when the matter comes to the rote. A private letter from Brussels, of July 4, says—“ The Regent is suspected of not being indisposed to increase the obstacles to the immediate settlement of the crown. M.Sur rct Cholltr appears to have, found out all at once that even the reflection of the sover eign power is not quite so irksome as he af fected to think but a short time ago. The agitators it appears,have been at work in Lou vain, and some other places where there had been some troublesome movements.” The London Courier mentions a coinage of five franc pieces, to the value of 50,000/. sterling, with “Henry V Rio de France,” on one side, and the lleur de lys on the obverse and states that proclamations to the. French people in the name of Henry V. have been printed in London. We can hardly believe the exiled Burhons to be so besotted is an enterprise for the recovery of their dominion in France would bespeak them to be. William Roscoe, Esq.—This elegant and enlighted historian and scholar, died at Liv erpool, on the 30th of June. His declining health Jiad,for some p - it, precluded any hope that his valuable life could be prolonged to any distant date. The London Courier of July 6, says : “Wild and senseless as tlic project of counter revolution in France by the ex-Royal Fami ly may apjicar to be, we understand from an authentic source, that there are, at this mo ment, many persons ready to receive them in France, and that the partisans of Henry V. calculate on success, not so much through the influence and exertions of that party, as through the dissatisfaction which many of the Liberals are said to feel at the want of ener gy in their present Sovereign, and the stagna tion of trade in the French capital, by which many thousand are in a state of destitution, favorable to any attempt at revolution in which money may not be wanting.” Calais, July 2. —This town isat. this mo ment in the greatest confusion, and nothing for the last two hours has been heard but the drums beating to arms, the word of command from the military officers’, or the exulting shouts of the populace from every quarter.— The cause of this tumult, it appears, is, the general discontent of the working classes at the present extraordinary high price of corn, which they attribute principally to the mo nopoly of a few r -h merchants in this town anti neighborhood. From the London Courier, July 5. The following letter has reached us from our correspondent at Warsaw. If is stated in another letter, of which an extract has been shown to us, that the Poles having taken the important fortress of Bobruysck in Lithuania, whif'h served as a Russian depot for arms and ammunition : V> .viisaw ; June 23 — The head-quarters are at \\ arsaw. The Russians have been at Pluck, but they have again retreated from thence; this morning a of troops went through the Wolski Rogatka. It was yesterday decided that a levy en masse should be raised in this country, War- saw exeepted, to give the Russian army in i the kingdom a mortal blow. According to letters from Lithuania, Gen- j era! Gielgud has joined the insurgents, and lias seventy thousand men under his orders; he leaves there forty thousand ayd returns here with the remainder. Two regiments of Russian light cavalry have joined Gen. Chlapowski’s standard, and have already fought against the Russians.^ It is said tiiat the insurgents have driven six thousand Russiansfinto Gallicia, where by force they were obligeJfc lay dow arms, a.rJ that, in the Ambassador lias left \ ienria. This, J do not guarantee. Lamrerg, June 6.—The insurrection in Podolia and the Ukraine extends every day further, except in the immediate vicinity ol Kaminicz, occupied by GeneraH-Biidiger, Hvitli ilforps of 6,000 men. The nobility, by jcmaDcipatingtheir serfs, have excited such Ia spirit of enthusiasm, tiiat aliwdy 60,000 j men are under arms, and have s#orn fidelity fictile National Government of Poland. The family of Sobanski were the first to set so wise and noble an example, and they were innad diately imitated by the families* of &c. The main force of the insurgents con sist of cavalry. They are already in posses j sion of 15 pieces of artillery, 9 of which were ! taken on the first explosion, and 6 on a more recent occasion. A body of 500 Volliyniun insurgents made an ineffectual attempt to join Roinarino and Chrzanowski, but being pressed by the Russians, were obliged to throw themselves into Gallicia, where they were disarmed. Berlin, June 21.—1 tis reported that I Field Marshal Count Paskewitsch is ill of the i Asiatic fever, at St. (The 1 statement of the Posen Gazette that lie had arrived at VVilr.a is not conSrnied.) It is said j that he has declined to take command of the I army- Practje, Bohemia, June 11.—The Polish corps of Dwernicki arrived on the Austrian territory in the greatest misery, having been marching several days and nights with little or no rood, and incessantly engaged in com bat with the Russians. The Emperor of Aus tria having been informed of the arrival of his corps, and their distress, ordered for fhern new clothing, and every proper assistance, but directed that the officers should be sep arated from the soldiers. The separation was painfully affecting ; the soldiers threw themselves at the feet of their officers, clung to their knees, and these brave companions mutually shed tears when ordered to be sepa rated. The cholera morbus is spreading frightfully in Lemberg. The Emperor has sent there his first physician in Bohemia, and the counsellor of the government, Nadherney with ten physicians and surgeons. A strong cordon sanitaire is established between Mun gary and Gallicia. The disorder advances towards the west. The Austrian military preparations are carried on with great activi ty ; the army is at this moment more numer ous iirnMieifer equipped than it was in the years iBl2 and 1814. London, June 30, 1831.—The accounts from Poland are most gratifying. The main army, which has remained at Praga since the battle of Ostrolenka, having been refreshed from its fatigues, and strengthened by new levies, had broken up from its cantonments and proceeded against the enemy. The death of Diebitsch, the accounts of which had reached Warsaw, about the middle of the mouth, may have determined the Polish Com inamler-in-Chief to make this movement. The insurrection in Lithuania had succeed ed beyond-the most sanguine expectations of the friends of the Polish cause. General Gielgud, with a brave and well appointed army of 10,000 men, would encourage the people to rise where they bad hitherto re mained inert, or support them where they had already revolted. The insurgents in the Po lish provinces belonging to Russia had ac quired strength, and would in a short time be able to master the Russian troops in their neighborhood. About two o’clock this morning, we re ceived an express from Brussels, \\:‘h the news of Tuesday. The people of that capital appear, from the journals and the private let ter*, which have reached ns, to have been in the highest state of excitement and impa tience in waiting for the arrival of their depu tation from London with a sovereign or anar chy—with peace or war. The deputies left London only on Sunday, and did not reach Ostcnd till Monday after noon. They would not be able to get to Brussels till Tuesday afternoon, unless they had travelled all night, which they had no strong motive to do, as the result of their mis sion was not to lie delivered to Congress till Thursday, this day. By a letter which we have received from Ostend, we are glad to learn that the ac counts of their mission, which the Deputies allowed to be communicated to the inhabit ants of that port, were highly satisfactory.— They announced with an apparent triumph, which is a good omen of their success in the capital and with the Congress, tbM “the pro tocols had been much modified, and that the Prince had accepted.” We shall learn in a day or two the cfhinion of the sovereign mob of Brussels on the subject. The Siamese twins having lately made a country excursion from Boston, they were somewhat intruded upon during their ram ifies, ly the country people, and one of them, whether Clung or Eng we do not remember, fired his fowlmgpieee at an individual. Chang and Eng were thereupon carried before a ma gistrate and bound over (jointly we guess,) to keep the peace. The Editor who gives the account, observes quaintly enough that there can be no great hardship in this pro ceeding; since they have been under bonds all their lives (?) it. would be lather hard however, if Eng should commit a capital of fence, without the volition or concurrence of Whang, to inflict a joint punishment. Sup pose for instance, that one of them should commit a murder, without the assent, or against the will and wishes of the other what is tube done .with the criminal ?He must of course ggynihangedor the ltl l . must be punished with the guilty. himself would be able to do as little v justice in such a. ,case, as he has done 5 justice in the vile doggerelism lately such honorable mention of by one of , tute and learned contemporaries.
