RECOMMENDATORY NOTICES.
Tiif. Lady’s Book.—We have receiv
ed the August number ofth s netv and attractive
periodical; and ifvve nro to judge fr. m tho num
ber before txs, it seem? justly to challenge the
patronage of tho.se who enjoy light raadmg of
the more refined description Many of Ihe nar
ratives are of a most romantic and interesting
character, and cannot fail to fix the attention of
the fair reader, who may follow the heroine in
the “trials of the heart,” or pursue the devoted
lover through the pro. is of his love and heroism
without becoming languid over the long protec
tive catastrophe, or tho successive appearance
and removal of scruples, delicacies, and difficul
ties The in'ere tof this periodical is much in
creased by dissertations of the female art of
horsemanship, needle work, and 'lancing, and oil
these subjects the young fidy may derive many
useful hints lo advance her towards gracofu'ne s
and proficiency.
As an additional attraction to this periodical
Mrs. Hemans will probably become a regular
contributor to its poetical department. The
August number contains the first appear.inco of
a very pathetic poem from her pen, in which the
bold scenery of Sonth \nierica and Cordillera.;
are combined in description with the feelings of
an European traveller, on vicwiug that singular
constehation, known nsthe“C'ross of the South”
peculiar only to the southern hemisphere. This
poem combines m a short compass, a full display
of that pat hos and touching delicacy of expres
sion, for which this highly gifted poetess has
boon so justly distinguished Another original
poetic article “The Mih-ary ' i 'uneral,” is very
upetior in style and poetic merit to the common
race of fugitive productions With the aid of
such talent, the poetic department, of the La
dy’s Book, with the continuance of the taste dis
played in its selected poetry, may confidently
compete for the prize of public favour, with any
of its cotemporaries.
The price of this periodical as will bo seen on
reference lo its prospectus, i« three dollars year
ly, or at the rale of twenty five cents each num
ber For this small sum tho subscriber is remu
nerated with a quantum of reading matter ex
ceeding that to be found in am volume of the
novels of the day—usually selling at one dollar
per volume.— lntelligencer, Flemingsburg, Kij
We hevc received the fourth number of tho
Lady’s Book. The votary of fashion and litera
ture —tho epicurian and the Musician, will each
find in it something amusing and instructing In
short, in every respect our highest expectations
respecting it have been fuliy realized.— 7/ie .Set

Till: FRENCH REVOLUTION.
A day, an hour of v irtuous liberty,
let worth a whole eternity of bondage.
'^Addison
ye Hons of France! awake! ad
vance!
Lo! chivalry, your ancient goddes*
cries.
But wields not as of old, her thirsty
lauee.
Nor shakes her crimson plumage in
the skies:
Now on the smoke of blazing bolts she
flies,
And speaks in thunder through yon
engine's roar:
In every peal she calls—'awake! arise!’
ciay is her voice more leeble than of
yore.
When her war-song was heard on An
daiusias shore. Byron.
Never since Philip flourished and Ute
sar subjugated the nations of the earth,
has the eye of the world been dazzled by
so brilhuut an assemblage of events as has
been recorded on the page ot history
since the commencement of the nine
teenth century. Not only have th« (hams
of despotism ceased to rattle on the arms
of the children of the west, but iberty
has walked forth triumphant in tin gar
dens of Europe. Not only on on - own
shores, have the noble nations of the
North hurled to the earth the shadles of
slavery, hut the daring sons of the South
have caught the sacred flatne, and have
risen like the lion from his lair, tobattle
and to victory. The brilliant bamer of
liberty rio ts triumphantly over the Wes
tern worid. The empire of degrading
despotism has passed away amid the
wrecks of former revolutions and chaos
oi storms and darkness.
Hail, brave and beautiful France!—
llau land of La Fayette and liberty!—
Thou art worthy to be free. Never was
there a more gallant nation, or a more
polished people. Born in the lap of lux
ury and learning, it is not strange that
the flowery and flourishing France should
sigh to be free. Nor i3 it the first time
that liberty, arrayed in her sky-blue cap,
Inis walked forth in her flowery fields.
When Napoleon arose like a giant from
his slumbers and dashed his sceptre from
the trembling hand of the Bourbon, all
Franee rejoiced, and the echo of French
redemption was heard in the remotest
wilderness of the West. Ei:* r 'r.nd, the
cool and crafty England, lo ked from
her stormy hills with a jenlou >._» , for
she feared the approach of that genius
that carries desolation to the thrones of
despots. She trembled least freedom
should sever the chains which had so long
bound her sons to feudal servitude and
toil. Sire beheld the tiger of Corsica as
lie grappled with the demon of despot
ism, and trembled at the prospect of a sim
ilar fate. Hence English hatred to the
mighty master of Europe.
But fair and fertile France was not then
prepared for her glorious rising o the lu
minary of liberty. Storms an! darkness
rested upon her bosom, and the long
night of anarchy and aristocracy over
shadowed her triumph. Power was in
the hands of a few unprincipled ruffians,
more despotic than the Bourbon who h and
fled an exile from his falling throne. Un
der their hellish reign of terror, the scaf
folds and the streets of i arts streamed
with the blood of her best and bravest Cit
izens, till the guillotine blushed at the au
dacity of her demonic rulers.
But the heads of the tyramcal Robes
pierre, and his infernal coadjutors, have
paid the forfeit of their frenzied career,
and the storm of extermination which so
long darkened all France, has sunk, long
since, below her horizon, and the birll
iant luminary of liberty has r sen again
in all the unclouded grandeur of Ameri
can glory. The rapt iity of those splen
did events which have regenerated France,
has astonished the world, and scattered
the sacred flame of freedom throughout
all Europe.—Never did a tempest in the
elemental world, rise with such fearful
velocity from the West; and never did a
Revolution in the political world, strike
such instantaneous terror to tyrants. It
came like a clap of thunder in a clear
sky; it burst upon the sons of men like
some swelling cataract which had sud
denly broken its barrier; it flashed upotri
the bewildered imagination like a might™
volcano, scattering its long-pent fires in
the Heavens. It possessed all the sub
limity and grandeur of the former Revo
lution divested of half its terror. So sud
den was the electric flash, that all France
was wrapt in the conflagration ere the eve
of dispassionate reason could look upon it
undazzled, or the understanding digest
the truth of so splendid an event. There
is no era in the annals of ages, no action
recorded on the pages of history, which
may be compared to this. Posterity will
he astonished at the desperate and daring
deed, and celebrate with delight the chiv
alrous spirit of the sons of France.
15ut there tire thousands oi Erenchnien
whose Itosoms are now heating with silent
dissatisfaction. They had vainly hojted
that Napoleon had given ‘he last Mow to
tyranny, and hurled the last crown from
the head of the Bourbon dynasty. And
again the lingering hope revived that
Charles X, was the hunt of that hated race
who should sway the feudal sceptre and
wear the unhallowed crown which hud
descended to him from his effeminate und
| tyrannic ancestors. After having deluged
the streets of Paris in blood, and tram
pled to victory over the bleeding corses of
their countrymen, they were not prepared
tb behold the last remnant of the Bour
l*ou family, elevated over the rums of a
former throne, stdl reeking with the blood
of the brave.
They had hoj*ed, liowever accomplish
ed, however patriotic that the very name
of that detested race had been obliterated
from the memory of Frenchmen, and
doomed to glide silently down the tide of
oblivion with the wrecks and relics of
their former grandeur and glory. A
breeze from the new world had borne to
their ears the renown of the rising and
flourishing Republic in the west, and they
had sighed for a government 01 the same
lenient and patriotic principles. They
had read with delight on the pages of his
tory of the glorious achievements ot
Washington; of the mighty empire of
freedom, which had risen on the rums of
a despot’s dominions; they had read of
those imperishable and nnprescriptahle
rights which were enjoyed in their purity,
and hope whispered, that Frunce should
be moddelled on the same torni, and en
joy the same patriotic prerogatives.
A darkening cloud hangs big with des
tiny over Europe. A mighty volcano is
ready to burst and scatter desolation to
the hopes of tyrants. A storm of passion,
more awful than an avalanch of the Alps,
is rolling up the horizon to precipitate its
livid lightnings on the foes ol legitimate
government and the sacred rights of man.
Tremendous will be that hour when all
Europe shall feel and uesert her indepen
dence. The tocsin of alarm has alr< udy
sounded, and the torch of civil war bla
zes in the capitols ol the continent. Al
ready have the dark brow ed sous of Spain
caught the exhihrating spirit of lreedom,
and the throne oi the despotic and bigot
ted Ferdinand totters to its fail. The
hardy, the war-hke race of Belgium, have
aroused front their slumbers; the contest
has raged in Brussels, and all Nether
land is in alarm. Nor have the bright
and beautiful children of Ituly, the sun
ny dime of science and of song, lain qui
etlj beneath their wrongs. They, too,
are up; their galling chains are rattlemg
on their arms, and the cry of liberty is
beard in their cities, lieautilul and bril-
lia.it Italy, she is worthy to follow France
in throw ing off the yoke w hich Ims for a
gss hound her sons to one long night of
superstition and ignorance. The same
lovely land which once gave laws and
learning to the world, is worthy to he
free, and to flourish again in her primeval
greatness and glory.
And will the many millions of Russia
tamely crouch at the feet ol the autocrat
Nicholas, nor make one brave effort ior
fame and freedom? V» iil they stili how
before the throne of ihe parricidal raee ol
Muscovite Czars, nor wish to see the
Kremlin again in smoking mins? W ill
not the snow clad lulls of ancient Scan
dinavia echo to the shout of victory, and
her warrior sires catch the spirit of the gal
lant sons of France?—W ill the blue-eyed
genius of Germany, and the impetuous
heroes of Hungary still wear their chan s?
Say, can Switzerland, the romantic Swit
zerland, forget the triumph of her ow n
William Tell, and hear unmoved the
cries of vice liberty, vice la Bepubtiquu
It is impossible. The time is rapidly ap
proaching when the glittering crown will
be hurled from the head of imbecility, and
the yoke of despotism broken in frag
ments at the feet of godlike liberty.—
Freedom sliull walk forth in the gardens
of Europe. Papal supremacy, nor the
dungeons of the Holy Inquisition, shall
awe the lmnds of men; they will arise in
their mighty strength, rend asunder the
unholy union of church and state, and
teach a lesson to tyrants, that men, de
termined to be free, can never he ensla
ved. Spain, the land of romantic chiv
alry, is already ripe for the contest. Per
haps, ere this hour, the mighty blow has
been struck, and the tyrannical house of
Brugnnza, the oppressor of the Mo r >rs,
hus shared the same fate whu h has bior
ted that of the Bourbon from the cata
logue of Royal Magnificence. Perhaps,
ere this hour, the streets of Madrid have
been drenched in blood, and the tri-color
ed flag floats proudly on the ramparts
kmd palaces of Gibraltar, Cadiz and the
A’apito).
‘Ye who would more of Spain & Span
iards know.
(jo reatl what’er is writ of bloodiest

Whate’er keen vengeance urged on for

people.—W bile, on the contrary, the na
ked name of a republic, has a charm for
which they have long sighed. There
seems to he a terrible game to be played
in Europe, and the happiness of millions
depends upon the contest. Yet it is to
be hojted, that, amid the gloom and ter
ror of the scene, liberty will ride forth tri
umphant, and despotism go down in b'ood
like a star that is to arise no more. It is
to be hoped that, w hen the mighty whirl
wind of passion has passed, that no priest
ridden nation will rentibn, and no degra
ded race under the influence of Popish
superstition and tyranny.—And that no
vestige will remain of Monarchic power
in France.
Should Spain, like France, succeed in
the overthrow of her tyrannic master,
what scenes will lie presented in the dun
geons ol her helhsh inquisition. Not
more, horrific were the secret recesses of
the Bastile, than would be the gloomy
caverns of monk ml cruelty and intrigue.

Toirn of Gainesville Hall county.—-A

that have,withn> the last lew years, sprang

ot none possessing greater advantages to
the capitalist, or more deserving ot no
tice lor the enterprise of its inhabitants,
than Gainesville. It is situated in the im
mediate neighborhood of the rich gold
mines winch are ibund m the western part
of the State, aid from its invigorating and
salubrious atmosphere, is a desirable sum
mer ietreat for the invalid or votary of
jiersonal comfort. But a few years ago
it was a wilderness, tenanted only by tho
savage sons of tin torest; now ;t is inhab
ited bv civilized men, engaged in the va
rious employments of usetul life, ane pos
sessing all the conveniences, luxur.es and
refinement ofa town; destined, at a day
not far distant, to rival in magnitude ma
ny oi the older and more populous.
A friend has iuniished us with the fol
lowing statistics ol the tow n: Gainesville
contains nine or ten stores, one o' v i ich
is established for the special acconni. ela
tion ol that class of our citizens rlej rived
by legislative enactment of their rights, u
suaily called “Gold Diggers.” At these
stores were bought not less than $(>5,000
worth ot gold within the last tw* lve
months; and $120,800 passed through tho
hands of the merchants in the same peri
od. It contains one Tinner’s shop, sev
eral Cabinet work shops, three taverns,
&e. &c. The building of three Churches
has also been commenced, and one of
them is nearly completed. Anew Court
House and Jail are in contemplation, and
in tne course of the present year an ex
tensive Cotton Factory w ill la commen
ced.
Partly within the limits of the tow n in
a valuable gold mine—in fact, gob’ is to
be found on nearly all the lands in the vi
cinity. Suitable machinery is shortly to
be erected for grinding and collecting tho
precious metal. In consequence of this
fact, and ns Gainesville is a central point
in the gold region, our corsespomlent sug
ge ts the propriety of some on of our
Banks establishing a branch there, and
by that naans preventing so great an
exportation of mineral w ealth. He in
forms us that many tl ousard ?’cllar»

to other States, tor no otl er teason than
the want of paper or silver to ; ttrehaso

PRESENCE OF MIND.
!' wap n the co! I season that a few oF

to the station id——, agreed to make a
shooting excursus the v **iiMty of A
gra; and gave occas t.i to an nnin'ated

under the surrounding trees, and *\.i re
fanned off the insects with their long flow

graceful feet: farther off stood a stately
