MISCELLANEOUS.
IGNEZ DE ( CASTRO.
Few personages nre recorded in history who
have been oftener celebrated t>y dramatic wri
ters than this princess. There have been no
less than five tragedies formed from her pitiful
narrative, viz : two in English, one in French,
one in Spanish, and one in Portuguese. The
latter, perhaps, approaches nearer to the truth
of history, and is not inferior in point of poeti
cal merit. The author, Senhor Nicole Luis,
had no occasion to resort !o fiction to heighten
the passions of an audience, as the simple facts
are sufficient to fill up all the scenes of pity and
terror, and to show to what lengths love and re
vengc arc capable of transporting the human
mind.
The subject of this tragical piece, is as fol
lows :—Don Pedro, son of Alonzo the Fourth,
King of Portugal, and heir apparent to the
crown, having fallen in love with a lady of the
court, named Donna Ignez de Castro, thought
he could not share the crown which awaited
him with a more amiable person. She united
to all the charms of beauty the rtiost graceful
and accomplished manners. The prince, wa
ving all considerations of birth and fortune,
was privately married to her by the Bishop of
Guardn. Notwithstanding the nwptials were
performed with till the secrecy imaginable, yet
they reached the king’s year, who had premed
itated u consort for Don Pedro in the King of
Castillo’s daughter. lie questioned him as to
the truth of the report, but the prince, knowing
Ids father’s arbitrary disposition, thought it
prudent then to conceal the fact.
The nobility also hail intimation of the mar.
riage, and the preference given to Ignez had
awakened their jealousy. Hence they took
every opportunity of representing her ns a wo
man'of the greatest ambition, and pretended
that very fatal consequences were to he appre
hended from such an alliance : they also con
demned the prince ns a rash and disobedient
son. The king, who was a man of weak un
derstanding, gave ear to their calumny, and they
worked upon his passions to that degree, that he
resolved to murder the unfortunate princess.—
Accordingly he set out to perpetrate the horrid
deed, accompanied by three ol his courtiers,
ami a number of armed men, Donna Ignez
at this time resided at Coimbra, in the palace ol
Santa Clara, where she passed her time in the
most private manner, educating her children,
and attending to the duties of her domestic af
fairs. The prince, unfortunately, was abroad
on a hunting party, when the king arrived.
The beautiful victim came out to meet him,
with her two infant children, who clang about
his knees, screaming aloud for mercy. She
prostrates herself at his feet, bathes them with
tears, and supplicates pity for her children, he
seeching him to banish her to some remote des
ert, where she would gladly wander an exile
with her babes. The feelings of nature arrest,
ed his arm, just raised to plunge a dagger into
her breast. But his counsellors urging the nu
cessity of her death, and reproaching him for
his disregard to the welfare of the nation, he
relapsed into his former resolution, and comman
ded them to dispatch her ! at which they rushed
forward, regardless of the cries ol innocence
and beauty, and instantly struck off her head.
Soon after the above transaction, the prince
arrived; but, alas! found those eyes that were
wont to watch his return with impatience, closed
in death. The sight of his beloved Ignez, wel
tcring in gore, filled his mind with distraction,
and kindled every spark of revenge in his soul.
In all the agony of rage, he called aloud on the
avenging hand of heaven to punish these mon
sters, who deprived him of all ho held dear up
on earth.
As soon as her remains were interred, he put
himself at the head of an army, who sympathiz
ed with his distress; they carried fire and sword
through the adjacent provinces, and laid waste
\ the estates of the murderers. The royal troops
could not oppose them; they fled at the appear
ancoofthe gallant avengers of innocence. But
the king, wretched man! could not fly from him
self; the cries of his grand children still echoed
in his cars, and the bleeding image of their un
fortunate mother was constantly before his eyes.
Death at length commiserated his situation, and
'he expired full of repentance for his accumula
ted crimes. Ho w'as an nndutjful son, an unna
tural brother, and a cruel father.
The prince now ascended the throne, in the
37th year of his ago. He no sooner obtained
the power, than ho meditated to revenge the
death of his beloved Ignez. The three murder
ers, viz: Pedro Coello, Drogo Lopez Pacheo,
and Alvaro Gonsalva, had fled into Castillo, pre
vious to the death of the late king. The prince
ordered them to bo tried on a charge of high
treason, and being found guilty, their estates
were confiscated. Next he contrived to seize
their persons, by agreeing with the King ofCas
tille that both should reciprocally deliver up the
Portuguese and Castillian fugitives who sought
protection in their respective dominions. Gon
salva and Coello were accordingly arrested,an' 1
sent in chains to Portugal. Pacheo escaped in
to France. The king was at Santarem when
the delinquents w ere brought to him; he immo
; diately ordered them to be laid on a pyre that
was previously formed, contiguous to which he
. had a banquet prepared. Before the torch was
kindled, and while they agonized at every pore,
1 under the most lingering tortures, their hearts
f were cut out; one at his breast, the other at his
back. Lastly, the pyre was set on ablaze, in
presence of which he dined, while they evapor-
E ated in the flames.
I Having thus appeased his insatiable thirst of
’ revenge, he ordered his marriage with Donna
- Ignez to he published throughout the kingdom ;
then her body was taken out of the sepulchre,
f covered with legal robes, and placed on a mag
’ nificent throne, around which his ministers as
sembled, and did homage to their lawful Queen.
> After this ceremony, her corpse was translated
from Coimbra to Alcohaco, with a pomp hither.
; to unknown to the kingdom; though the distance
between these two places is fifty two miles, yet
■ the road was lined on both sides, all the way,
' with people holding lighted tapers. The funer
al was attended by all the noblemen and gentfe
‘ men in Portugal, dressed in lung mourning
’■ cloaks; their ladies also attended, dressed in
white mourning veils.
The cloud which the above disaster east over
the mind of Don Pedro, was never totally dis
persed; and as he lived in a state of celibacy
the remainder of his life, according to his vow,
1 there was nothing to divert his attention from
ruminating on the fate ofhis beloved spouse. —
The impression her death made on him was
strongly characterized not only in the tortures
ho inflicted on her murderers, hut also in all the
acts ofhis administration, which, from their se
verity, induced some to give him the appella
tion of Pedro the Cruel; by o’licrs ho was called
Pedro the Just; and upon the whole, it appears
that the latter title most properly appertained to
him.

Civilization and Barbarism, —What is civili
zation ? Noah Webester says it is the “ state of
being civilized —the state of being refined in
manners.” What then is Refinement ?“ A nice
i observance of the civilities of Social life,” says
; ho ; and thus the seeker ofthe definition vibrates
like the pendulum of a clock between the two
words, learning only that civilization is refinen
ment, and that refinement is civilization.
I Let us he perrrVittud to define a little. Civiliz
ed people are those whose manners and customs
are like our own, in whatever country we may
1 happen to bo born—and Barbarians are those
whoso manners and customs arc different from
our own. Here, for instance, a civilized man
is one who wears breeches, hoots, a shirt, coat
. and hat; who cats with a knife and fork, and
drinks coffee or tea with his hreakfdst. Pass
: to the hanks of the Arkansas, and the wigwams
■ of the West; and there the man is civilized who
I wears a blanket—drinks water, {rum is the off
, spring of civilization,) and sleeps on tile ground.
; There the civilized lady bores holes in her nose,
t and suspends her ornaments to that very respect,
i able organ —here the refined lady bores holes
, in her cars fora srnilar purpose. What is there,
abstractedly, more civilized in the cars than in
I the nose ? And yet we laugh at the sip',aw in her
blanket and with her nasal ornaments, and call
, her a savage !
Again —Mr. Brown comes down from Buffalo
> and meets his old friend, Air. Smith, in Broad,
i way. Their right hands instantly meet, and a
■ violent shaking ensues. “ What are those men
fighting about ?” says the dark son of tropical
i Africa, to his white friend. “Fighting* pooh!
They are o]d friends that have not met for a long
• time, and they are expressing their good will
■ toward each other by shaking hands.” “What
’ barbarians ! whv in my country, When two
1 friends meet, they rub their noses together.”
■ “ What savages !” says the white man.
I The ceremomonions Mr. Fitzgerald meets the
i courtly Mr. Clarence, and each raises his heav.
. er. “What docs that mean?” says Hassan
j Qglou. “We nre saluting each other,” is the
i reply. “ What a rdiculous custom,” says Has.
1 sail. “In my country, we salute by clapping
• both hands on the forehead, and making a low
, salaam.” “What barbarians!” exclaims the
. Congees, “in my land, whenever two gentle
: men meet, they snap the thumb and fore finger
• together at each other. “ How ludicrous !”says
■ the white men. Spirit of common sense! will
thou deign to tell us whether the manners and
t customs of any one of the three are more re
• diculous than those of the others.
1 The Persian pulls his meat to pieces with his
3 fingers, and eats horse flesh. “Shocking,”
s says the New-Yorker, as he sets down to a
- game dinner, to a dish of bear’s meat. —The
t Indian cooks his rattle snake much to the horror
• of brother Jonathan who breakfasts on stewed
1 eels. The Abyssinian cuts a steak from his
- cow, sews the skin over the wound, and lets the
. animal go about her business, till another fit of
1 hunger loads him to cut another slice. “The
■ unfeeling wretch !” cries the European butcher,
- ns ho s'icks a pig in the throat, and looks com
placently on the expiring gruntor. The Aloor
-3 ish lady stains her hair and the ends of her fin-
I gers with saffron. “Dear rnc how strange,”
3 says lady Barbara Belle, and away she goes to
- her toilette, to rouge fc r the evening bid I. The
, Chinese woman corrfpresses her feet into the
- length ofa paper of tobacco. The fair peri
r> patetic of Broadway laughs at the absurd cus
i tom, and screws her waist to the dimensions of
s a Spanish clear. The Turk goes to market
c and buys half a dozen wives.—“ The bruit!”
i- exclaims the civilized beauty of fashionable
e life, and marries the richest suitor that she can
it find.
i- Now then, have we not satisfactorily proved,
d j that civilization consists in our way of doing)
things,—find that barbarism consists in other
people’s way of doing tilings. Let common
sense answer. — N. I'. Standard.

\V HERE AS the Trustees
7 of the Academy of Richmond County, have
given notice that they will lease the South Common on
the first Tuesday in February inst. und whereas the said
S. Common is of right the property ol the city ol Augusta,
& has not been leased for enclosure or cultivation but with
the consent of the citizens of Augusta, and by special
Legislative enactment, neither of which has been obtain
ed to authorize the enclosure or cultivation of said com
mon. '
And whereas the City Council believe that the en
closure and cuhivalion of the said South common will
prove injurious to the health ol the citizens generally.
Sec. Ist. lie it therefore ordained by the City Council
of Augusta, that it shall not beTlawful for any person or
persons to make any fence or enclosure by ditch or other
wise in any part of the common ot Augusta, Wr, uth of
Watkins Street.
Sec. 2. And be it further ordained, that any person

Sec. 3. And be it further ordained, that each & every
fence, ditch, enclosure, part of enclosure or obstruction,
shall he considered a nuisance and it shall he the duty ol

abate such nuisance, by removing any fence or other oh
structions made or found on any part of the said common
Wouth of Watkins Street.

By the Mayor Mayor of the city of Augusta.
Geo. M. IV'ai.kek. Clerk.
to 'Tens miiiic.
npHE controversy between the City, and the Trus
■ tees of the Academy, having become one of some
interest to the citizens, the Ciry Council have deemed it
advisable to give this short notice to the public, of their
reasons for the above Ordinance, and the necessity which
called for it.
The City Council have been advised and believed,
that when Augusta was laid out. and planned by the pro.
prietory government, the common was defined and ap
pended to the town, for the common benefit of the lot
holders, and citizens, ns the word “ town common,” itself
seems to import.
That being thus appropriated to the public, or com
mon use of the citizens, this right has never been taken
from them by the legislature, or abandoned by them
selves'. Nor has any net hern passed interfering with
the right of common in the citizens, except at their own
request, w for thqir supposed benefit.
That tho power to lease given to the trustees, was to
lease for years, and lias long since expired, and,
being then givun to promote the health of the city, at the
requestor the citizens, should not now he exercised,
when experience has shewn that the enclosure would
most probably be injurious to the health ot the city, and
is therefore opposed to the wishes ol the citizens.
That the City Council, have not abandoned the rights
of the citizens-by paying for a few years for their own
property, in ignorance or negiect ol the rights of the
citizens, which they failed until recently to investigate.
That this neglect is I»-ss extraordinary than the un
warrantable assumption of a fee simple title in the trus
tecs, when in fact they never were appointed any thing
more tf.an the mere agents of the stale to lease.
That the trustees are themselves conscious that they
have no legal title to the common, is sufficiently man
iteste-l by the desperate step recently takcp by jhem, ot
causing the common to be run out as vacant Lanu y under
the law securing head rights.
The City Council acting only as the guardians oftHo
rights of the citizens, expect their reasonable co-opora
tion in the maintainance of their rights.

ON presenting to the people this prospectus, the Edi
tor deems it superfluous to any one word with re
gurd to the utility of i. There arc, wever,
particularly at this time, oilier duties that m not he
avoided so easily. In cntu r mg the political arena, we
may not conceal our sentimei 'ts ; for we conceive it our
duty, to our friends and opponents, friendly to avow
them. The Stale Rights* Doct.Hues ns contended for
by the best expounders of the Constitution arc those
we avow; we hold that each state h. I ®, reserved to her
self, all and every right, not surrendered up and enum
erated in the Constitution of the Unite "1 States ; that
they may, nay should, and have reserved tor the very
purpose, those rights, that whenever occasion requires,
they m ( ay he exercised ; but the states should ho care
ful, in she exercise of what are called and supposed to
be reserved rights, those surrendered up are no* viola
ted : for they are no more the rights of the states loan >1
they had never been exercised by them. The Gone r ul
Government too, must move within its legitimate sphere,
carefully observing what powers it may exercise—what
are reserved to tiie respective sovereignties and what
have not been granted. While here, we remark that
we arc uncompromising Union men, and feel and consider
ourselves identified with all those that now rally under
the standard of the twenty.four slates, whatever minor
distinctions may, heretofore, have separated us.
As respects the parties in Georgia, too, we have a
word to say.—We have acted with perfect satisfaction
to ourselves, with the Republican party. The spirit
of that party will be carried into our labours ; but we
wish it understood that we have not, and cannot
now consent, to advance our parly views and pros,
pects by contending ngainct those of our opponents ;
we offer to our opponents the free use of our columns,
if they are propeily used.
It is useless to say any thing of the interesting coun
try in which tHc Intelliget\c:v will be located—the
farmer is invited there by its fertile lands—the un
healthy, by its waters and air—the chyrnist by the
valuable treasure found in its bosoiti.

PROPOSALS
FOll ENLARGING AND IMF ROVING THE
SOUTHER** BAN2TER,
A Paper now published Weekly in Athena, Geo.
rHIIIB rapid increase of population, wealth and Inlel
■ ligcnce of Western Gi:oroia, have prompted tha
Editors of the ** Southern Banner,” in order to keep
pace with the improvement of the limes—to lay before
their friends mid patrons, the following proposals:
They intern! about the first of February next, to publish
tlie “ Banner” on a largo imperial sheet—not inferior in
size or style of execution, to any now published in the
State —for the accomplishment of which purpose, they
have ordered from New-York an entire new set of inate
j rials.
, 'flic Editors deem it unnecessary at this late day, to
enter into a minute detail of their political creed—they
would deem it but a work of supererogation. Suffice it
to say, their best efforts will always be directed (by dis
; seminating correct principles, religious, moral and
political) to the advancement of the interest, honor and
happiness of the people—particularly that portion of
them comprising the Western and North Western sec.
lion of the State ; and to whom they mainly look for pat-
| t ronago and support.
d The patronage of the Banner is now respectable, but
<1 not sufficient to meet the increase of expenditure that j
e must necessarily occur, in effecting the improvements
t- contemplated. They are sanguine, however, in the
hope, that a liberal public will yield to their efforts, that ,j
support and encouragement, upon which they alone 4 |
must rely, for the successful accomplishment of an tin* e—
dsrtaking so responsible. H
TERMS.
The price of subscription will be the same as hero- #
to fore—Vi/.: $3,00 per annum, in advance, or $4,00 if
payment is delayed until after the year expires.
As an inducement to our friends to exert themselves
for us, we offer to give a copy of the Banner for every
c * ten responsible names forwarded by any one individual,
1,1 Letters, post paid, addressed to the Editors, or to 3 '
I't VnnoN Chase, Publisher, will receive prompt attention. **■
