To the Public
r IMIE FACULTY of the College would re
I respectfully nortiy'lho Parents and Guardians
of tho Students, that the conflagration of (lie new
building, however serious, will not interfero in tho
smallest degree with the regular duties of the
College. The course of instruction wifi not be
affeclod, a.s every accommodation will t.e ready
for tho students by the first of January. '1 lie
Library it is true lias been destroyed, but we feel
confident from the munificence of the Legislature
that tho loss will be so far repaired by the opening
of tho next term, as to prevent any injury atising
from its destruction. Tho Mathematical instru
ments can be easily replaced. Tin- fine Philoso
phical Aparatus and Chemical Instruments aie
uninjured, and consequently full instruction in the
higher classes can be given.
As to the personal accommodation of I ho young
mpn, no difficulty will exist, as the old building
hitherto dovoted to the residence of the two low
er clases, is uninjured, and will consequently con
tain all who now compose these clases. or who
may come by the commencement of the next
term. The two upper classes will bo accommo
dated with lodging and study rooms in private
families or the boarding houses in town, and that
without any additional charge, until the College
building slrull be repaired.
The Faculty therefore trust, and with foil con
fidence, that the credit of the Institution with ihe
Public, will not be diminished The Faculty
therefore canfide in the return of all the Students
on tho first of Jinnry next to resume thoir regu
ar duties . By order of tho Faculty

PROPOSALS,
Fur publishing Inj subscription a compendium oj
the Laics ij the Htutc vj Ciorgiu, hij Arthur
Foster.
Contauiing all the statutes, and the substance
of all tho resolutions of a general and public na
ture, aud now ot force, winch have been passed
in said State from the year 1820, to the year 1820,
both inclusive, v-ith occasional explanatory notes
and references, and a list of the statutes repealed
or obsolete To wiiich is added an appendix,
containing tho constitution of the slate of Geor
gia, us amended; also references to such local
acts as relate to towns, counties, internal naviga
tion, county academies, Arc. and a collection of
tho most approved forms used in carrying the
above laws into effect; with a copious index to
the whole It will be something like a continua
tion of Prince’s Digest, noting the laws in said
Digest, repealed or altered It may be obse ved
that tho legislature of Georgia are in tho constant
practice of repealing, altering, or amending laws
passed at thoir previous sessions, so that without
such a digest, or compilation of them, as is now
respectfully offered to tho public, it actually re
quires a lawyer, or a person who has uevoted
much timo to the examination and c< mp. risen of
the different enactments of each succeeding ses
sion of the legislature, to be acquainted with all
the laws which are of force. And having wilnes
sefl with much pleasure tho immense public utili
ty and popularity of Ihe digest compiled by Oli
ver H Prince and also having no dou t but a
similar compendium of the laws from the time of
that publication down to the present with the ad
tition of the precedents, on ibrnis, u hich will be
disced in the appendix and which w ill add great
l*y to the public utility of the work, and to the fiir
tJierance of justice, would bo very icceptablc to
the public, the compiler has ventured upon the
arduous and important undertaking. However,
not relying altogether on hi - own experience of
having been a member of tire legislature during
the passage ofihe most of tho Laws now proposed
to be published, and at the administration of
them for eight y. ars, as justice ol the inferior
court, in a county where much business of an in
tricate nature is transacted in that court and the
court of ordinary; after collating the manurcript
it has been placed in .the hands of gentlemen em
inent in the law, who alter a strict and careful
examination have politely tendered to hurt the
subjoined certificates.
The work is now in the bauds of Judge Schley
who has kindly promised as early as other en
ageinents will permit to take it through a care
ful and minute investigation, aud correction, if
correction shall be found to bo necessary aud
proper.
The great public utility of such a ivor.i must
bo obvious to all; aud the compiler, who has do
voted to it much time and lrborious study, flatters
himself that tire testimoials ,presented above,
will fully satisfy the public, that that utility has
not been lessened in tho slightest degree, by any
defect on bis part, in its general design or the ac
curacy of its execution
Augusta, July 8, 1830.
1 have attentively examined a Digest of the
Laws of Georgia, from 1820, 12 1839 inclusive,
and find the work is executed with much jud a
merit and accuracy, by A Foster, esq. of Colum
bia county,. 1 have no doubt the work will
provo valuable to every citizen who feels desir
ous to become informed of the statutes now of
firce in the state, and would lecommend alt jus
tices of the inferior court, justices of tho peaeo.
clerks, sheriffs, c. to p- ssess themselves of the
work as soon as published.
THOMAS GLASCOCK
I have examined a digest of the Laws of Geor
gia from lr-20 to lr!J!* inclusive, by A. Fnsto,
esq. and think tho work executed with great judg
ment and accuracy. Tho work is intended as a
continuation of Prince's Digest, and is, in my opin
ion, well calculated to answer that valua >ie pur
pose . Although tho author is not professionally
a Lawyer, he seems, in ascertaining tne statutes
now of force, to hive added much care examina
tion and’sludy, to his advantages as a practical le
gislate, during most of the period embraced in his
work.
JOHN P. KING.
Augusta, July, 1830.
Wright sborough, sth June, 1830.
Sir—As far as I have yet had an opportunity
of examining the manuscript copy of your digest,
ot the laws of the state of Georgia, I highly ap
prove both of its plan and execution. The vol
ume cannot fail to answer well the purpose for
which it was intended. In the appendix there
are a number of precedents or forms, which ap
pear tc have boon modeled with accuracy, and in
strict conformity to the digested statues from
which they were drawn; and with ut doubt will
add much to tho value and usefulness of 'he
work, as a mean (in the hands of the jos_„- ot
the peace, justices of the inferior courts, clerks
sheriffs, young prai tilionersof the law, and oth
ers) in errying the above named laws into effect
with greater facility.
1 am sir your obedient servant,

tificates, and others who have generously taken
an interest in the work, and with an anxiousde

possible to the public, the cempiler will introduce
into it several highly important laws of the Uni
ted States, in common use among the people,
and which ar« often difficult to be found; among
which a e theso i relation to tho naturalization
of aliens tho reinaval of cases from the state to

rira following fino versos, on a truly sublime
and poetic subject, we select from au Irish maga

Likeness of Heaven ! *
Agent of power !
Man is thy victim,
Shipwreck's thy dower!
Spices and jewels
1 roin valley and sea,
Armies and banners,
Are buried in llrec!
What are the riches
Os Mexico’s mines,
To tho wealth that far down
In thv deep waters shine',?
Thy proud waves that cover
The conquering w< st—
Thou fling'st them to death
With one heave of thy breast!
From the high hills that view
Thy wreck making shore,
When the bride of the mariner
Shrieks at thy roar;
When, like lambs in the tempesf,
Or mews in the blast,
O'er thy ridge-broken billows
The canvass is cast—
How humbling to one
With a heart and a soul, *
To look on thv greatness
And list to its roll;
To think how that heart
In cold ashes shall bo,
While the voice of Eternity
Rises from thee.
Yes! where are the cities
Os Thebes and of Tyre;
Swept from the nations
Like sparks from the fire;
The glory of Athens,
The splendour of Rome,
Dissolved—and forever—
Like dew in thy foatn.
Bat. thou art almighty,
Eternal—sublime—
U weakened—un wasted—
Twin-brother of Time!
Fleets, tenmest. nor nations
Thy glory can bow.
As the stars first behold thoe.
Still chainless art thou!
But hold', when thy surges
No longer shalll roll,
And that firmament’s length
Is drawn back as a scroll;
Then —then shall the spirit
Thai sighs by thee now,
Be more mighty, more lasting,
More chainless than thou.

Fashionable Movements. —There is
n 'hiijio tlmi the world around us are so
anxious to learn as the fashionable move
ments of the liaut ton. of 'bis ’ i*htv city.
flow could the small corps de reserve that
trio it lightly in Boston, Phil dc'phia, or
Baltimore, got along without having an ex
ample set them from Now York I Accor
ding to tlio accounts of modern travellors,
there exists much semi-emharbarism in
these three cities Wo will not state host'
much, because people who travel info such
reut»ie parts, and touch places lievned die
magic irclo of fashion, are too often given
to romancing and story telling.
The hunt Inn here, is proceeding
in the splendid march of fashion. •On
New Year’s Evo “the Assemblies” com
menced at the City Hotel, in tho most
splendid sty!«, the grand saloon of that mag
nifiicent establishment having been most
elegantly and laStcftllly fitted up fur the
season. No fewer then one hundred and
three gontlomen and sixty giiie ladies of
the first rank of fashion were present —
which is considered a very large qoority of
fashion in a population of onlv 213000 souls
These are the very elite of society—the
cream of the beau monde. Not a particle
fvulgarism was permitted to show itself.
Several new beauties graced the occasion
with their bright eyes an odd debutante
<>r two were brought no', besides several
distingue s os botho sexes who have just re
‘timed from the tour of Europe. ’Tis Hue
only about one twentieth of those present,
could boast th it their families had merged
from obscurity fifteen yeais ago— btif, what
of that? Money is everything now a
days
The stylo id’ manner is now very much
improved There is a delicate repose—
a softness of approach; a calmness of mind
that wins its way irresistibly to the heart.—
The tumultuous minh, is banished to Phil
adelphia, or Bo'slon, but particularly to
B dtimore. Tne pitch of the conversa
tional tone is fallen into a most beautiful
and sentimental whisper. Iri point of
dress there is also much improvement
The mairied belles dress a great deni ton
much—probably this arises from the iiine
formed taste of the husband ; but our young
ladies array themselves with the utmost
simplicity, and in the purest taste. Anew
dance of the most be\viching'character has
just been imported from France.— it is
called la galopade. It is one of ihe most
extatic movements that ever w >s invented.
It is entirely a revolutionary discovery,
never having been known till after the trots
jours de. Paris. Many i urioos anecdotes
are told ofits origin and its effects. It can
only ho perpetrated iu a large b ill room, "lid
hence it has not been able to squeeze its
wa y y* t «»•'» small private p ints? ofa
thousand cacti. Tins splennta nance is
performed in pair-, as the wa'iz, but it is
much mure r.-pid; it is singular where that
is circular, and ri quite* much skdl, sci
enc , ni l par'.irul-ti ly a mastery over eve
ry motion. Them is noi s.. much whirling
in it a* in the waltz. and hence ihe ladies j
like it buyer. On tjie occasion referred
to, it was danced with great splendor and .
eclat,
At the supper tables, the superb cuisine
ol Jennings shone f. nil in awful magnifi
conce. Several ueiy pyramids, &r. j
have been also recently invented, but *.ve j
are hound to silence on this head.
Under the uew regime, the assemblies
are now managed »nh great skill and ef
fect. Three yeais ago, th u i-colored'flag
was hoisted—in effort was made to 10-
form—the radical system was banished,
the dose corporation wis introduced, and
the beau monde now flotirisoiot? iu the
highest degree Vive la bagatelle.
J\*uocltirs in Gentlemen's Dresses, for
December. — File most fisiomble colours
for dress coats are blue wills small plain
gilt huitons, and blue velvet collars. Itus
s*a i ran wi’h gilt buttons, and dark olive,
s i'tlt butioiis and collar of velvet; same col
our.
For morning frocks, black i.nd blue, gen
earally double breasted; collar of cloth, and
buHons the colour of the coat. Claret fr<u k
coats are not unfashionable, but iht v should
have velvet collars.
Great ('oats. —The Brighton beaver
continues to he wont; they are made dou
ble lire .sled, with cr-'S* fl ips and pockets;
the cellar and lappel* are velvet. Dress
great coins are made of nut-brown snpor
fiim cloth, and generally single breasted,
with velvet collars the colour of the coat.
More Novelties in Great Coats. —The
weather bar now become cold enough to
give an impulse to the Winter fashions, par
lictilarly to redingntes; those that we are
going to cite appear to ns to present some
innovations, which we shall endeavor to
describe. The first that we consider wor
thy of attention is a redingnte in apalga;
the colour of the new shades of light gtey
—it has a square collar, with large lappel-,
round at the top—they are edged with silk
braiding—the cuff- me round—the skirt*
are very long and very wide at the bottom
The second redingote is in granite casfi
fine—it is made n schalt, bordered an<
trimmed before with a quantity of hraidtu
enchainette, terminated ov olives.
The third is a redingo'e dr - <r»» rotnposr
of black (doth, with a collar and crane, - 1
the usual form, Dimmed round with tr* s*< >
a cordurcs piquees a plat—the front is or
namented with nine of those button-hob
wiiich are called aI t motrsquetaiie; tlmi
are wide at tho ton, and became gradually
narrower towards ihe bottom.
Military rendigotes or polonaise*, a* they
are indis riminatelv caMed, composed of
!>lue cloth; they are made quite tight, with
out l.apnels, and witti a narrow c.oll ir, they
fasten in front by gl mces and olives; some
are nrHomentml with silk br;t;;ii»g oil the
collar, ihe bust, and the cuffs.
Wi isfcoits for morning are of various
materia's, the cashmer shawls pattern is the
most fashionable; There is also another
article; -q iite new, ami a good deal worn;
if is called Swansdowp-Casinnei*; it i< verv
thick arid warm, and is made of a variety
es elegant palters. For dress waistcoats,
velvet and silk have monopolized the whole
f ishionable area, arid white Macella is sel
dom seen any where,
F t morning Dowsers of mir fashionables
have taken it into their ' eads’tu choose an
article that is decidedly particular, and, as
if‘o m ike the fislti >n contrast (without
mistake) to ill that lias ever gone lief re,
they have rhousen the hh ck ami white ■
cheerked Woolsev. Tliis is an aitide
generally used for lining gentlemen’s trav
elling coats ; it is vary course, and the pal |
tern is black and white chequered This
is quite enough to convince the most scep
tical that there is no accounting fur tuns
which ftshinosometimes thinks well to in
dulge in ; however, these truw»rs are be
coming verv general.
A gentleman who devotes a great deal of
his time to the gooil fit of his clothes,
