Men show particular lolly on five different a*(visions —-when they establish their fortune *ho ruin of another—when they expect to excite love-bv coldness, and by showing more m:tfks of dislike than attention—when they scok friends without making any advances ot friendship; and when they are unwilling to succor thei. friends in distress. The world is too narrow tor two quanci sotnc- tools to live in it. Avarice is the chastisement of the rich. Your white hairs are the avai t-couriers of Ydir (ieatti. ’ Kj who ha3 not his hand open has lus heart 9Ut, . r *1 True prudence is to see from the com jencemeiit ot an allair what \\ ill bo the end it' it. Be of good cheer when your emmies are divided among themselves, but fear when hey arc united and of one accord. V/iiat is easily acquired does not long cm Aire. In whatsoever house you enter, remain mas ter of your eyes and your toiigAe. Why repent a second tiiiioot an action of which we have already repeated ? If you wish that your own merit should be recognised, recognize tine merit ot others. Never give counsel when it is not asked of roil; especially to those who are incapable f appreciating it. How short life would bp, if hope did not give it extent! . The body increases by sleep,-the mind ac cumulates ii*- watching. Do not shorten the long nights by slumber nor prolong the short days bv wickediiesfi. The mu;, that watches by night, rejoices bv day. To teach a knave, is to put a dagger into the hands of an assassin. A wicked soul is capable of all the wick edness it can conceive. Think on those who have gone before you —consider the empires which have passed awav, and of all which has ever been, nothing remains hut the traces of virtue. The wisest of men is he who has the most complaisance for others. Two things arc embarrassing; to be silent Mien we ought to speak, and to speak when we ought to be silent. _____ wiKts/rv. From the iV. Y. Constellation. Editorial CRr.DVi.rrv. — One would sup pose on reading the newspapers, that tlie corps editorial was made up of the most credulous beings in the world : that they were never accustomed to examine into the ‘ruth of any thing; but took every thing implicitly and upon trust. This however is not the case, as any body may easily discover by conversing with the individuals of whom the editorial fa culty is composed. They will generally Ik found to be men who are accustomed to rea son upon and to sift thoroughly the truth ot any proposition, as any other edass of people , and, tor the most part, arc men of too ninch sense and information to he imposed by every improbable storv, or every shallow artifice With which mankind arc assailed. How comes it then that \*. e find in their publications, from the bed-blanket daily down to the seven by-nine weekly, shell ridiculous instances of that upparont credulity with which they arc almost continually charged? VVe Jeavc them to answer this question tor them selves, while we proceed to give a few sp ci- Jnsns from our exchange papers, by way of li bation. Important Discovery. —We have recently had the pleasure of examining the model ot a machine for digging vessels. It begins to ex cavate at the bottom instead of the top, and thereby saves the labor of throwing out the < arth, as in the ordinary mode. It is thus a great saving of expense, as well as a preven tion ot danger IV . n a recoil of the earth, for a Mill may be dugin one part of the tint 1 moinonly employed for that purpose —an l it is self evident, that if the earth be not thrown ’’p, it cannot return upon the head ol the dig g'T* • . . The inventor of this-ingenious machine is a Mr. Mole, a young man of this neighbor hood, who has politely explained tA ns tlio operation of dm model; and who, we arc l>ap l>y to understand, intends to apply for a patent, flic invention is, of course, entirely his owti; though, with a modesty which dot s him nfi r*ito (redit, ho acknowledges that lie derived r • n first hint from the operation of the ground s'Piirrel, which,it is well known, always hc : ins digging at the bottom of its hole.” — Cob* hiiil (*~eite. I lUib’r cure for u no l '• —Mrs. Ilorc* ""■id, wr>i* known as a remarkably skilUil _ ; in f’.i? 'own. has lmrn ( gcod enough to furnish us with the following recipe for the cure ot colds, coughs, and con sumptions ; and though we have not yet had the pleasure of trying it on our own editorial selves, we have no manner of doubt of its en tire efficacy. It is simply this : Take the upper leather of two old shoes—burn them crisjr, so that they can be conveniently redu ced to a powder. To tli .-.c add the izzards ot two setting liens, also burnt or dried so as to be easily pulverised ; after which throw in a single handful of dried cuinhurnblc root —>and grind them well together in a mortal*. Then add six table spoonfuls of molasses; three ot neats foot oil, and a small ouantity of green cumcandlestickibus, together with just rain water enough to give the mixture a sort of demi-semi-Huidity. Then take one table spoonful of tiie mixture every hour, until the cough and other sympioms abate. M e are not sufficiently acquainted with the modus operand* of medicines, to giv, any ve ry exact account of the manner in which this wonderful imubc'nc effects a cure. But as far as we cah understand the matter, it does it.; work chiefly by operating en the pie-glottis which is a kind of clapper or valve, situated at the opening of the wine pipe, and w hich, during a cough, flies back and forth with infi nite violence, causing all those uneasy sym toms which attend on that complaint—but which is reduced to astute of tin- most com fortable quiescence by swallowing a very few doses of the above incomparable medicine. — We would not wish any of our friends to he afflicted with a cold, cough, or consumption, gratis; but should any of them he soalflictcd hut should not hesitate a moment in recom mending Mrs. Ilorehound’s infallible reme dy.”—Flewcllcn Adv. Extraordinary Incident. —A very singular incident happened in this neighborhood a day or two since. Miss Periwinkle, an elderly, hut respectable maiden lady who resides with her brother, Lieut. Jeck.onia.ii Periwinkle, went into the eellar just before dinner, to get some butter which had been placed there to keep it cool, when a very strange noise was heard by the family upstairs, who immediately proceeded to investigate the cause—and, as tonishing to relate !—they found tha . Miss Periwinkle had fallen plump from the cellar into the garret ! But, what is very remarka ble, though the house is three stories high, she was not in the least injured by the fall.— Bhe was, however, monstrously frightened, and wc understand lias scarcely yet recovered from the shock. So extraordinary an incident is almojt be-1 yorui belief, and we should be very much dis- ! posed to doubt its truth, did it depend oa the j evidence of our own sight. Hut fortunitely j we have better testimony-—that of the lady [ herself—of Lieutenant Periwinkle, her #ro- ! thcr—of Mrs. Periwinkle, her sister-in-law \ and her Kitty Cabbage, Mrs. Periwinkle’s i hired girl. The fact .then is beyond doubt,! but to account for it, we must confess, is en-1 tirely beyond our ability, it is, as every bo- 1 knows a principle m natural philosophy, I for heavy bodies in failing to desuend, and I not ascend. Light bodies, we know, will in-! continently mount upwards. Put levity, we are bound in justice to say, formed no part of the character of Miss Periwinkle, on the con trary she was a la<ty of singular ana V ItOVVi, edged gravity. How then are we to account for her falling upwards! But we leave the I subject for the discussion of abler pens, just observing, in the language ofllamlet, the Moor, “there are more things in heaven and | earth, than are dreamt in moral Remarkable Phenomenon. —We arc credi bly informed that a Mr. Daniel Mouscr, who resides about three miles from this place, on Sunday afternoon discharged’ from his sto mach tune living rats, two of which are lull, grown, ami the rest young ones, apparently about a month old.

This is one of the most remarkable pheno mena ever exhibited. We sincerely hope it will not become a common practice for ani mals of this description to burrow in a man’s bread basket—especially in that of apoor ed itor, who finds it sufficiently difficult to pro vide for his own wants, let alone those ot the rats. P.

Well, gentlemen, you have muddy times of it; but m a few years you may possibly have a better way of getting your cattle to market. • Drover. In what way, stranger ? Delegate. Why hn\u’t # you heard that a rail road was to be made from Knoxville down to Lynchburg? Drover. 'Veil, what has that to do with driving cattle ? Suppose they can t travel on a rail-road ? Delegate. No; but it is said they may be taken ni liens ori a rail-way. What would you think of a large pen, containing fifty or a liundred beef cattle, mounted on w heels* and travelling along a rail-road at the rate of ten or fifteen miles an hoar ’ Drover. Now stranger, do you think it pos sible lot such a thing as that to be done ? Delegate. Why, such tilings arc spoken of. Drover. Well —it may lm so—l never saw a rail-road —but I II be if 'ieneral Jack son himself could do it.

The Subjoined adven ture of Nimrod Wildfire; is mw going about in the papers ; and although ;• little hirsute, is nevertheless graphic in the extreme: — *;I was rulin' along the Mississippi in my waggon,” (says Nimrod), when I came acrosL u feller floatin’ down stream, seii.n’ in the st am of his boat fast asleep!

HOW TO KEEP BEEF A country house-keeper,®o whom a surli on or a steak is not an every day treat, lias been tuuiilit by necessity, how to keep beef ;! a.i art unknown in towns, where daily access! can be bad to markets; but is a most valua-j ble secret, equal to tint of keeping venison ; so highly prized by the Quins and Aldermen j of England; and 1 here propose, without the prospects of any other reward than the hope ,nd honest fame, to communicate it to the American public. Beef is never fit to be eaten in steaks un til a week after being killed. If a piece ol beef is suspended by a hook and strung in a dry cellar, so us not to touch the wall, it will in our hot climate in the hotest season of summer, keep from one to two weeks, without a particlo of salt; and in winter it will keep eight to ten weeks, 1 have this winter kept it two months, with a constant and great im provement to the last, and have no doubt 1 might with increasing benefit have kept it for a month longer. No one, without the proof,can believe bow asiojiisliingly it will improve in tenderness and flavor, after being kept a duo tint*); and it is doubtless much more wholesome than the recent rank, tough beef, that is laboriously rii- Heated to become a cruise of disjrepsia in some, and billions fe vers in others, as the town doctors assure us. 1 beg to recommend this keeping ot beef to all hoese-keeper.? in town and country, satis fied that after one fair trial they would no more feed on a recently slaughtered ox nan i tfir-v w ould on an Ahysinian steak with Caffra r:an garnishments.

The Journal, of yesti .day, makes know’n, that anew Map of this State has been published by John Bdhune, Esq. Surveyor General.

When this body was about adjourning, the I procodings of it, were requested to be -pub lished ; yet, they have just appeared in the Geo. Journal. For ourselves, we were pre sent at that assemblage, and substantially gave an account of tvhat transpired; a trans fer of which has gone into most all the papers at home and abroad. But, a respectable member of that body, Col. Cumjiiw, of Au gusta, having awaited sometime for an official j report to appear, (and not hayipjj hoe;; Utcry Written to the Secretary; in which a ,‘cquest was made to have it published, aud expressed a delicate Complaint that it had j not bt’en previously attended to.

We regret to oMorvi- such a desire aud advance for the va- j cant seat —because it is calculated to injure the j prosperity and strength of the party- f rotn all that we learn, we perceive a strong inclination to ; forward the pretensions of diff'.'iaat '-"vtLales ; but the last iligrttgv-viDe papers, (the Journal ami Recorder) deprwate a result fraught with so much mi-chief. It is therefore proposed, by a respectable and calculating writer, in the last Re corder, (Cincinnati!®) that a Caucus be held, and for it to determine who shall be the candidate. In no event, do we wish to see a contest in our own ran ks : it produces division, and consequent ly defeat. Charles E. llavnes, Esq. is alrea dy announced a candidate. Various other gen tlemen are spoken of, but in the absence ot a re signation from Mr. Lumpkin, the names of some prominent individuals, have yet been withheld; hoping, that by the time Mr. Lumpkin does re sign, there will be an active co-operation amongst ourselves. As far as we oas learn, Robert A. Beall, of Twiggs county, is thought to have high qualifications, and to deserve the support which would be extended to him by both partios. For ourselves, we shall be satisfied w'ith an expres sion of popular choice, yet that may not be until after the election; we repeat ioxpoprdi— it is all-powerful and must prevail. GEORGIA AND MISSIONARIES. Below, will be found a communication, from Messrs. Joses and Shorter, members of the Au ti-Tanff tJonveutioii, from Georgia, who, being then a' the North, and seeing that improper opin ions were forming in regard to our State and her authorities, took occasion tuus to write, and thereby correct the very erroneous opinions which had been assumed, in many instances against us. The people of Georgia, (for the vigilant, patriotic and valuable, services of these gentlemen, in 1m Convention,) will highly appreciate th: m, and their efforts to defend their Slate, against prevail ing and popular error, and prejudices, will en sure the gratitude of all thorough-going Geor gians : l OR Till: PHILADELPHIA GAZETTE. Wc have seen With [ .in and mortification, a spirit displayed in many of the papers, pub lished in the Northern and Eastern States, to misrepresent the facts out of which lias grown the unple-aant controversy between j the :State oi Georgia, and a few Missionaries lately residing in tho Cherokee nation. It is but sheer justice to the State, that the facts should all be accurately IcrtOwn, and that none of them shoy’d lie wilfully suppressed. The course which her revilers have deemed it pro per to pursue, lias been to publish iothe world in the most aggravated shape, every allega tion, no matter from what source, or upon what authority, tending to put her ill the wrong; and to withhold every fact and explana tion however well authenticated, shewing her justTcation. Wo only ask that she shall not he condemn ed by the moral and religious portion of the American people, until after that peo ple shall ho made acquainted with all tho facts. We are both native Georgians.—wc have resided from our infancy within her borders, and we have attentively and we trust, impar tially observeed her acts and policy, partic-1 ularly in regard to the existing controversy, I and may therefore he permitted to say, that 1 her course has been misrepresented, and is | not understood by the community by whom j we arc at this time surrounded. The object of this note, is to dispel as far as we may be able, the errors into which many of our fcllew citizens have been led in reference to this j subject, and to provoke a spirit of impartial \ investigation, and inquiry such as may re-1 suit in the ascertainment of the truth. The state of Georgia, after many years of forbearance, c'orcised her unquesjionaolc constitutional right of extending her law sand jurisdiction over all persons residing within j her chartered limits. In the exercise ol this right she did no more than hud previously been done by many of her sister States, sonic of whour (struuge as it may be)are now her most relentless revilers. That she did not in this step transcend her constitutional pow er, lias been asserted by the President ot the j United States, and virtually by Congress, and tho Supreme Court. In justice to Georgia, it should bo remembered tliat she forbore to exercise the power under consideration, un til aftnf the headmen of the Chcriokeo na tion had devised, agreed upov, and 1 led a regular and permanent form ofgovern -1 incut of the State. In this aspect of affairs, it ! was not to bo expected tlfat Georgia or any j other sovet. igii State, would remain silent j and inactive, and permit within nor own 11m i its, and upon her own territory, three seperate i independent and inconsistent governments to exist. To prevent such a state of tilings, she extended her own laws over that portion of the Cherokee country within her limits, and abrogated the -"s and f>™i of other things the laws "ovoffi u, tne State provided that all white persons (whether citizens of Georgia, or persons coin- j i„g frow -*,. Ct-t-sYudMi shouia - , j siding upon the Cherokee territory within the limits of the State, on or after a particu lar day designated in the act, should take and subscribe an oath to support the constitution and laws of tire State of Georgia, or be held ,mi ei .isldercd guilty or a high misdemean or, subject to indictment therefor and oil con- viction, to be punished as therein specified.— When the day mentioned in the act arrived, many white persons were found residing up on the territory, some of whom removed, and many took and subscribed the oath required; but a few absolutely refused to do eitiier, and among and at the head of the_j here the Missionaries. They were then respectfully notified by the authorities of the State, of the provisions of the law, and urged to a compli ance with them, but they utterly and peremp torily refused. Their arrest was the necessa ry and inevitable consequence- They were however discharged from their first arrest up on the ground taken by themselves that they | were agents of the general government. ; This was subsequently ascertainc not to be ! the fact, and they were again respectfully no ; tified by the authorities of Georgia, that their ; continued residence was unauthorized and il j legal; that they should have if desired a reasonable time within which to rc ; move or if they chose to remain they could do ‘it by raking & subsbnbing the requisite oath, j — They again braved the authorities and j law i of the State, took to themselves the right to decide upon the constitutional power of the ' State to pass the law in question, and made known their determination to disregard its provisions. It was dot to have been expect ed that a sovereign and independent State j would have suffered herself to Ire browbeaten by a few men, though they were in holy or ders. The State was thus forced to the al ternative of either p. rmitt'jig her laws to he ; delibera-ely violated with impunity, or to (cause the missionaries to he a second time ! arrested. The latter course was promptly pursued; the missionaries wgre not only ar rested, but indicted, tried; convicted and sen tenced in the due ffirm of lam And to show hew tenderly the state was disposed to act towards those misguided and uiifortunniertien, and how regardful ahe was of the rights of o-j tilers, wo will in conclusion state, that af l ; ter these men had arrived at the Penitentiary ! of tho state .as convicts, aud before their coin mitnient, flic Governor of the State tendered to each one a full and ample pardon, on con dition of an assurance that they would in the way rno.t agreeable toitb>sti9eH'C3 obey the / ! laws of the State. One of the missionaries. | (Mr. Trott) and eight other men not mission* j aries, promptly accepted the pardon, but the other two, Messrs. Butler and Worcester— maintained 1h r original ground, that the State had no right to pass the law by which they were about tube punished, and rejected the pardon. We now beg the favour of you to publish in your paper in connection with the forego. 1 , ing, the passages in the Savannah paper here | with inclosed and marked. We also request ! you to procure and republish in your paper the correspondence between the Governor of i Georgia and the Missionaries ; the Utter of the Governor to the Rev. .John Howard; two letters from the latter gentleman on the same subject. The documents referred to may be found in the Georgia Journal or Macon Ad* vertiser of tho early part of last month. When those documonts shall have been consulted, and when the facts which they shall devclope shall have been made public, no one we think can believe, that the .Mis sionaries have paid that regard to the lavs of the land, and to magistracies, which is most plainly enjoined upon them by the Holy Scrip tures of which llieyprofcss to be the heralds. They utterly deceive themselves—they are not martyrs to the cross el Christ, but they are martyrs to their own foby and stubbor ness. If it were necessary to the defence of . 1 the State, we apprehend there would bn but ; little difficulty in establishing ft further impor- tant fact, td wit : that these Missionaries hn<l . most active and mischievous agents in cxcit*. ing the Indians to h course hostile to tbr> mild and philanthropic policy of tho General Government toward that unfortunate people*, and in engendering the most unfriendly feel ings towards Georgia ami her citizens. But we forbear to insist upon tins for the present, and centent ourselves width the foregoing 1 statement of facts, l>y which it will appear manifest, that unless the Missionaries were j clothed • ith power to resist the State of 1 Georgia, and nullify her legislative acts, the reprobation of an enlightened community must full on them and not oh the State whoso j sovereignty they haye denied, and whose au ; Ihoritv they have Contemned and defined.
