jWISCELLANEOI S.
an affair of honor.
Extracted from the Monthly Magazine, London.
America Ims lately added to our examples of
transatlantic gallantry in these matters. A
pair of doctors, quarrelling for something or for
nothing, took out their pis.ols. They fired and
missed during a round or two ; but their open
•determination was death. Accordingly they
went on with their shooting, advancing nearei
to each other at every round, until the arm of
one of them was broke. But this was not the
compact. They must go on. The wounded
man look the pistol in his lelt, fired, and hioke
his antagonist’s arm. This of course could sat
isfy neither of the heroes; at last they both
gained their object. They fired together ; the
challenger received the ball in his heait, and
died on°ihe spot. The challenged received the
ball in his lungs, and died in three hours. W lie
he »a> lymg on the ground, he inquired the re
suit of his last bullet ; and on being told that it
had done its bus.ness, expressed himself “ a hap
py man,” and said, that now he could die con
tentui. , ..
And th’s s duelling—the h morabb arranger
of scruples, the tie*icale washer out ol at tins,
the c,.rer of scan lals, rut 1 general peace-maker
of socieiy. Or is not this unequivocal baroar
is.n, wilful murder? —a determination to shed
blood without mercy ? And yet our laws slum,
ber over such things. The judge pronounces a
formal reprobation, about wuicii neither he nor
nny body else cares a jot. The jury smile, the
criminal arranges his curls, and prepares (or a
new celebrity among the fair. The verdict ids
him loose—die mob huzza him. The ladies a
dure him; the gentlemen extol his heroism;
and MiM a scound.el, black wiih malice and re
ve.ige, and dipped in blood f.om head m he. I, a
human tiger, is triumphanty scat lorh :o prey
upon mankind.
Common s nsc is as rare among nations as a
jiiong men; and no s rouger proof can be re
cm red of lue fact, than ihe tolcru ion m dud
bug in aav civilized country. The whole spir
i. of da I Ting is not merely an anom dy in pub
he manners, but an insult to that firs, prmcple
of law, which declares that no man snail he a
iud'Te in h s own quarrel, much less t ie execu
tioner. As to the actual circumstances, wua
can be a more extraordinary viola ion of com.
jnon reason, than that the formality of a mur
der shall make the murderer innocent. Ihe
duellis puts himself in a situation to kid ; and,
in the generality of instances, without the com
moil excuses for bloodshed. The dud is sel- ,
dom a matter of passion, often ol no actual in.
jury whatever. In nine instances out ol ten, u
is a murder lor etiquette. But we are to be told
that the challenger exposes his hie equally with
that of the «. hallenged. Yet if two butchers in
a market attack each other wi.h their knives,
and one of them is killed, the other is hanged.
Yet here we have more than the palliative* that
«re to make the duel innocent. Wo have the
equal den <vr, the violent passion, and the coats
cr and more violent habits of life or profession,
probably drunkenness at the moment; still, wi h
all those palliatives, the butcher is hanged. Btu
if the butcher had written a cool note to Ins lei
low butcher, instead of rousing Ins passions by
a curse or blow; if he had appointed Hyde
Park for the place of pitting him to deatu, in
stead of the site of Clare Market, an 1 had
blown out his brains with a pistol, instead ol
stabbing him to the heart with a knife, lh« butch
er would hare figured as a well-bred person,
who had done a well-bred deed; the murder
would have been an affair of honor, and tne
murderer would have established a character in
society as one “ who had killed Ins man.
The argument, that society is kept in order
bv the fear of the pistol, is nonsense, and is re
nulled by the fullest evidence—that the most
civilized nations of the ancient world knew no-
S:„.r of duelling ; that in the most intelligent
' and "accomplished classes of society winch are
especially prohibited by custom, from tins gml-
Ty mode of arbitrating their differences the
Seriy and the judges, for instance) we hud no
Ctc r . rivilitv • and lhal there are
want of mutual civhuv , ■
more duels concocted among the vulgar and un
mannered haunters of the coffee houses and the
billiard table, than in all °J ier d
It will be even universally found, hat as du
oiling ceases to be the habitual mode of decu
ding opinions, civilized manners
habitual; and for the obvious reason, ,
mutual concession has not the stigma
fear, it is the natural course ot hones ai
cated minds. If we are to be toldl that the ces
sation of duelling is the result ot civiliza »on,
the argument only shows, that duelling is con
trary to the advance of socie'y. But tlu trut
is, that until duelling has ceased to he the habit
of a country, mutual civility can make no pro
gress. Behind is still, unhappily, the most du
elling part of the empire. The consequence
results in its being the most uncivilized.* A
• The west and south of Ireland are the most duel*
ling parts of Ireland. The consequence results in
those district* being the most uncivilized.
duelling regiment is always no.orious for gene
ral want of discipline, and for being unservicea
ble in the field. A regular duellis ,in society,
is generally a ruffian in his manners, as he al
ways is a scoundrel in his principles, if not no'o
riously a black-leg by profession. But the
who e evil, as well as the whole remedy, res s
with the laws. So long as the refusal to go out
at a moment's notice, to kill or be killed, is con.
sidered by society as an essential proof of per.
sunal timidity, so long will duelling continue to
le the shame and scourge of our community.
But the laws declare authoritatively and steadi
ly, that the reputation for intrepidity shall not
be suffered to turn upon a man’s readiness to
fire in the face of another on the most trivial
occasion of dispute ; and the practice will per
ish in a twelvemonth, and before the next twelve
month is over, be wondered at among the ab
surdities of limes gone by.
Let the laws declare distinctly, that every
man who goes out to fight a duel, is a murderer;
that every message-bearer, second, &c. is an
accessary, and that they shall require nothing
mors than evidence of the facts, to deliver the
whole of those conspirators against human life
to the executioner. And the evil will he in
s an:ly at an end. But we shall not have the
honor of setting the example of this wise and
religious measure.
“ A law has been promulgated by the Elector
of Hesse, against duelling, and, if pul into effect,
it must inevitably abolish the practice in the
state which is subject to it. Whoever merely
sends a challege is liable to imprisonment in a
Unless, for not /ess than three years. If a duel
is fought in which neither parly is killed, both
parties are to be expelled the service ; to be de
prived oftheir letlers patent of nobility, if they
possess them ; and to be imprisoned in a fortress
lor not less than ten years.” .
There seems no provision here for the case of
either olThe parties being killed; but it ihe mere
attempt to kill, is to be punished by tea years
imprisonment and public exclusion from all hon
ors, wc muse suppose that death is the penalty.
The Hessian law fulls short in omitting the se
conds, and o;her simulators of the duel; who
are general! much more crini.nul than the actu.il ,
com bat an s, and wi.hout whose interference, it
is obvious no duel could be fought.
We know that the English law' at present
declares duelling murder, but the declaration is
nullified by practice. 1 lie revival ol the law,
with additional piovisions for ns being icsolute
lv carried in o effect, is a ma ter demanded by
everv cons.dera toil oi prm.-ipie, c.vd and reli
jj.ius. Liet the statute he, thiu lue law against
m irder shall he applied Wilnoul palliative or eva

never called into ac.iuu u second tune. No man
will be mad enough to send a challenge, when
he is physically cerium that tne result ol Ins
sending mat cuadeiige w.ll be Ins own hanging
at the door of Newgu.e. No man wi.l led

thy French war, and ihe’resioru.ion ol Ferdin
and Vll., wuo.se conduct maue many ot the
loose guerrilla parties continue out m the coun
try us brigands, an Enghsn merchant urnveu
one evening at a small mean town, at tue mot ol
the Sierra Morelia. In me pusnda of ihe place
where lie took up his lodgings for the nigh , he
met a (Spaniard ot a commanding figure, uud oi
a sharp, in.elligent, but ami .b e countenance.
Muchs ruck with h.s appearance, the Eugiis.i
man en ered into con versa, ion with him. and
was still more delighted by his frank, spirited
style of address and talking. Before supper
was ready, the two had es.abl.shed that t-0.l ol
travelling intimacy which is not perhaps the less
delightful because it must finish in a lew hours,
and ihe parlies, in all probability, never meet li
gnin—and when the meat was served, they Sut
down to it toge her, each, appareii ly, an.x.ous to
know more of the o her. I uey conversed to
getherduring ihe progress ot the supper, and
Lug after it was over, until he sinking and fiicK.
yring lamps on the table, warned die hiighs.imun
it must be time to retire to rest. As lie arose to
do so, the Spaniard, with all his former flunk
ness ami gentlemanly manner, asked mm winch
way his road lay on ihe morrow. Ihe English
merchant replied across the Sierra Moreau, and
indicated ihe road he meant to lake. 1 tie Span
iard, shaking his head, said he was sorry tor
this, as he had reasons to suspect tout that very
road, at that very moment, was beset with rob
hers, from whose numbers and ac.iv.ty llieie
was no escape. T he Englishman confessed tout
this was very unpleasant news, purtculariy as die
affairs that called him towards Madrid were ur
wen . “But can vou stay where you ar* a day
or two,” replied ‘the Spaniard; hy that time
they may have shifted their ground, and you
ma v pass the mountains without iru.et.ug
them.’ The Englishman repeated that his busu
ness was urgent, said he was no coward, that he
had hitherto travelled in Spain without any mis
adventure, i oped s ill to do so. ‘But my good Ssen
or,’ icplied the Spaniard, ‘you will not cross tue
mountains to-morrow without being robbed, take
mv word for that !’ Well, if it must be so, let
them rob me,’ said the English merchant; I nave
little money to lose, and they will hardly lake
the life of an unarmed and unresisting man:
‘They have never been accustomed so to ad—let
it be said to the honour of the band, are
not such cowardly assassins, replied the (Spun
iard, who was then silent, and seemed to be inus
ing to himself. '
The Englishman was begmmgto ca l up one
of the s .rvan:s of the posada, to show him to his
rosiin" place, when his companion, raising his
hand, said, ‘‘Not yet, Senor, not yet! lis en !”
•md he continued in an undertone: “It was my
fortune, some time since, to have to cross the
1 Sierra Morena. alone, like you ;it was occupied
I then, ns now, by the Sa/teadores ; but I met a
man, also alone, as you have met me, who said
he had rendered the captain of the band some
service, and that he could give me a pass which
should cause my person and property to be res
ided by the robbers, and enable mo to cross
the mountains wiih perfect safety.” “A much
be.ter thing this than a king’s passport,” said
the as'onished Englishman. “Pray, what is it?
and did it succeed ?” It was only a button,”
replied the Spaniard ; “it did all that had been
promised; and perhaps it has not lost its charm;
I will give it to you, here it is.” After search,
ingin l. : s pocket the Spaniard produced a curi
ous fil.igreed silver button, and placed it in the
hands of the Englishman, begging him to be
careful of it, an 1 to present it to any robbers
that might attack "him on the Sierra. “But
were you really attacked on your journey?” in
quired the merchant. “The button was re.
spected by all the robbers I met, and I believe I
saw them all.” said the Spaniard, “but ask no
more questions, and take care of the button !
to-morrow you will see whether it has lost its
charm.” With many thanks the Englishman
took his leave, an I went to bed. On the fol
lowing morning, when he continued his journey,
the silver button ran in his head for some time.
But it was not until noon, as he was toiling np
one of the most rugged of the mountain paths,
that he had an opportunity of trying its value.
There his guide, who rode before him, was sud
denly knocked off his mule by a blow from the
butt-end of a musket, and the next instant three
other guns were levelled at the Englishman’s
breast, by men who s epped from behind a rock.
The attack was so sudden, that his ideas and re
collections were disturbed, and he put his hand
in his pocket, brought out h s purse and delivered
it to the robbers, who were calling him all sorts
of opprobrious names, bt fore he thought of his sil
ver button. But when the recolleciion came to
his mind and he produced it, much doubting of
its efficacy, the oaths of the Saltea’ores were
stopped at once,as though a sacred relic had been.,
held before their eyes; they returned his purse,
earnes ly entreated his pardon for all that had
happened, and informed him that it was their
• bounden duty to see the bearer of that button
safe across the mountain. Accordinly, on went
the brigands for his guards, he blessing the s I
ver button, and they showing him every possible
attention and respect. On their way they met
wi h o her robbers, which proved how formidable
was the band, and how impossible it would have
been to escape them without the charmed but
ton.
At length they came to a low solitary house in
a wide dell, far away from the beaten path across
the Sierra, which they had abandoned for rocks
that seemed never to have been trodden. Here
tiie merchant was told that he might s - op and re
fresh himself. Nothing loath, he dismounted,
and turned to the door, when his companion at
the piatada of the preceding evening—ihe donor
of tue magical button, met him on the threshold,
with the words and ges tires of an hospitable
welcome. His tin ss waschanged—he now wore
a splendid kind of uniform, the jacket of which
was of velvet, embroidered with gold—but the
Englishman recognised his commanding figure
and impressive countenance in an instant, and
give him his hand as a friend. ‘ I got here be
fore you,’said the captain of the bandit i, for
such in fact was the donor of the button, ‘ and
have prepared a good dinner for you, being very
certain that what I gave you last night would
bring you safely under mv roof.’ The English
man expressed his grat tude, and they sat down
to dine. The bandit’s dish* s were savoury and
good, and his wine was bet er. As the wine
warmed t ie Engl s’nn; n, he ag in expressed
hi* gratitude, aim then veil u e 1 to say how as
toiiislted he was that a person of his hos’s man
ners, and one capable of such kind and gener
ous feelings and actions, could lead such a kind
oflile. The robber drew his hand across his
dark brow and fiery eyes, and said, * These are
times when thieves and traitors thrive in the
roval court, and the officers of government and
honest patriots, are driven to the highway. As
a guerilla, 1 shed my blood lor my country —for
my king, who, when he returned, would have
left me to starve or to beg! But no matter —
this is no husin ss of yours. 1 met you, liked
• your manners, and have saved you !—that is en
ough! say no more!’ The Englishman, of
course, desisted, and soon after rose to take his
leave. The captain who recovered his good
bun our, told him he should have an escort ye
a lit le further, and be put in the route he wish,
ed to follow. The merchant would then have
returned :he silver button, but the robber insist,
ed on his keeping it. ‘ You, or some friend of
vours, may have to pass this way again,’ said he,
‘ and whoever has th« button to product will be
respected ! Go wi h God! and say nothing a*
to what has happened between you and me, and
miieJAdu*:’ The merchant’s fa rewell wai »l
earn st and cordial one. Guided by the bri
gands, he soon reached th road on the opposite
side of the mountains, and would there have given
them some money for the trouble he had caus
ed. They said they had their captain’s s‘rict
commands against this—they would nor accept
a real, but left him, wishing him a happy jour
ney.
Some time, —I believe some years after this
adventure, —the English merchant heard with
deep regret that the Spanish robher-chief, whom
he described as of the handsomest men
he ever beheld, had been betrayed into the
hands of government, and put to a cruel and
ignominious death.

TO THE PUBLIC.
i ■ XIIE controversy between the Cay, and the Trus.
, JL tecs of the Academy, having become one df aome
interest to the citizens, the City Council have deemed ii
1 ad visible so give thi* short notice to the public, of their
re.isoo* for the above Ordinance, and the necessity which
i 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, as the word “ town common," itself
l seem* to import.
That being thus appropriated to the public, or com
’ mon ase of the citizens, this right his never been taken
■ from them by the legislature, or abandoned by them
selves. Nor has any act been passed interfering with
. the right of common in the citizens, except at their own
request, or for their supposed benefit.
That the power to lease given to the trustees, was to
1 lease for seven years, and has long since expired, and,
being then given to promote the health of the city, at the
request of the citizens, should not now be exercised,
when experience has shewn that the enclosure would
most probably be injurious to the health of the city, and
is therefore opposed to the wishes of the citizens.
That the City Council, have not abandoned the rights
of the citizens by paying fora few years for their own
property, in ignorance or neglect of the rights of the
citizens, which they failed until recently to investigate.
That this neglect is less extraordinary than the un
warrantable assumption of a fee simple title in the trus
tees, when in fact they never were appointed any thing
more than the mere agents of the state to lease.
That the trustees are themselves conscious that they
have no legal title to the common, is sufficiently man
ifested by tiie desperate step recently taker, by them, of
causing the common to be -un out as vacant laud, under
the law securing head rights.
The City Council acting only as the guardians ofthc
rights of the citizens, expect their reasonable co-opera
tion in the maintainance of their rights.

I’ROFUSALS
FOR ENLARGING AND IMPROVING THE
SOUTHERN BANNER,
A Paper now published Weekly in Athens, Geo.
rapid increase of population, wealth and Intel
ligence of Western Georgia, have prompted the
Editors of the “ Southern Banner,” in order to keep
pace with the improvement of the times—to lay before
their friends and patrons, the following proposals:
They intend about the first of February next, to publish
the “ Banner" on a large imperial sheet—not inferior in
size or styl* 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 mate
rials.
The 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 oi
them comprising the Western and North "estern sec
tion of the State; and to whom they mainly look tor pat.
ronage and support.
The patronage of the Banner is now respectable, but
not sufficient to meet the increase of expenditure that
must necessarily occur, in effecting the improvements
contemplated. They are sanguine, however, in the
hope, that a liberal-public will yield to their efforts, that
support and encouragement, upon which they alone
must rely, for the successful accomplishment of an un

THI 4 unrivalled medicine, for which the demand has
been so incessant and extensive, during the last
few years, is still offered for the relief of the unfortun
ate. Its miraculous powers for healing diseases which
resist the ordinary remedies, have been emphatically
confessed by the first physicians of the country. It is
still prepared with that care and judgme t which Ins se
cured it so higli a reputation, and the public nre renew
edly assured, that though its effects nre so powerful and
immediate, the ingredients are wholly vegetable, and of
a kind perfectly innocent. Unbelievers in its efficacy,
arc invited to come and examine the numerous cases for
themselves.
O* To avoid impositions, the public are requested to
observe the following particulars .• Ist. The Genuine
medicine has the title William W. Potter’s Vegetable
Catholicon. 2d. There has no: been, nor will there be,
any alteration in the bottles in which the Genuine Ca
tholicon ha* been distributed, since the commencement
of its manufacture, and they will be labelled as hereto
fore. 3d. Wm. W. Potter’s Vegetable Catholicon, is to
be -.id of Turpin df D’Autignac, who are the only A
gents for it* sale in Augusta, Georgia.

sue the Ladt’s Book regularly, about the commence
ment of each month. This, it is believed, will be found
of eencrnl advantage to subscribers.
The February number of the Lady’s Book contains
the usual variety es interesting literary matter, includ
ing several original nrtich sos great merit. The em
bellishment* have been adopted and prepared with at
tentive care, and it is believed will give universal satis,
faction. The frontispiece, representing the Queen of
Belgium, is, at this juncture, peculiarly appropriate,
and has much merit as a picture. The whole-length of
Napoleon is one of the best specimens of that style of
engraving, which has ever be* n presented to the public,
and reflects high credit on the artist, Mr. Lubbren. The
Mermaid of Martin Meer, though of a different kind,
is no les* excellent. Lord Byron’s beautiful stanzas
“ Ther* is none of beauty’s Daughters,” set to music
by an eminent composer, will be found in this number.
L. A. Godet Sc. Co. take this opportunity of request
ing igentato forward the sums which they may respec
tively be indebted, as they are anxious to close the ac
counts of the last year. Delinquent subscribers are
once more invited to liquidate the claims against them.
Th* number of new subscribers received since the
commencement of the present year has been very grati.
fying, and gives assurance that the Book still continues
to advance in public favor. Persons wishing to subscribe,

of public int«llifcnce *hould be added t* the number al
ready located in different parts of our State. For that
purpose is this harbinger of the forthcoming “ Herald”
presented.
Its objects trill be to furnish to th# community in which
we reside, th# usual newspaper intelligence, and to its
patrons in other sbction# ol the Union more remote, such
information in relation to the mineral wealth, ordinary
productions of thssoil, snd natural curiosities, wiih which
this section of th* country eminently abounds, as wii. be
both interesting tnd instructive. Its location in by far
the richest pari of the Gold Region, *nd where natur*
has signally blended the romantic with the sublime, will
give it advantages for the accomplishment of these ob.
jects, to which but few can lay claim.
The limited apace which may he devoted to politic*
will be occupied in disseminating what we believe to h
the oldßepublican doctrine* of the Jefferaonian school. I
this we shall endeavor ta he liberal and temperate. —Wei

With thi»vOry brief exposition of our design, *e shal

TO BE C'ON'DCCTKD BY HOWELL COBB.
ON presenting to the people this prospectus, the Edi
tor deems it superfluous to say one word with re
gard to the utility ot newspapers. There are, -jwever,
parieuiarly at this time, other duties that m not be
avoided so easily. In entering the political arena, we
may not conceal our sentiments ; for we conceive it our
duty, to our friends and opponents, friendly to avow
them. The State Rights’ Doctrines as contended for
by the best expounders of the Constitution are those
we avow ; we hold that each has resettled to her
self, all and every right, not surrendered *B)s end enum
erated in the Constitution of the United Statee ; that
they may, nay should, and have reserved for the very
purpose, those rights, that whenever occasion requires,
they may be exercised ; but the states should be oere
ful, in the exercise of what are called and supposed to
be reserved rights, those surrendered up arc not viola
ted : for they are no more the rights of the states than if
they had never been exercised by them. The General
Government too, must mpvc within its legitimate sphere,
carefully observing what powers it may exercise—what
are reserved to the respective sovereignties and what
have not been granted. While here, we remark that
we are uncompromising Union men, and feel and consider
ourselves identified with all those that now rally under
the standard of the twenty-four states, whatever minor
distinctions may, heretofore, have separated us.
As respects the parties in Georgia, too, we have w.
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 cur party views and -pros
pects by contending against those of our opponents ;
we offer to our opponents the free use of our columns,
if they are properly used.
I: is useless to say any thing of the interesting court,
try in which the Intelligencer will be located—the
farmer is invited there by its f.rtile lands—the un
healthy, by its waters and air—the chyaaist by tho,
valuable treasure found in its bosom.
The earliest attention and notice will be given of sJUL
new discoveries of gold mines or other raluabl# curiosi
ties
The Editor will practice Law in the count!## of Che.
rokee, Cass, Forsyth, Lumpkin and Floyd, and will bo
thankful for any business committed to his attention
those counties.
All letters and communications to the Editor, relating
to the Office, or other business, must be postpaid to en.
title them to notice : this rule w ill be firmly adhered to.
All communications intended fox publication must bo
accompanied by a responsible and respectable name.
Nothing of a personal character, either in the form of
a communication or advertisement, will, in any instance,
be permitted to appear in our columns.
Our subscription will he three dollars each year, when
paid in advance, or four dollars at the end of the year.
Advertising and Job 'fork solicited and executed
with neatness and despatch.
A synopsis of all the sheriffs’sales will be published,
in Augusta, Milledgevdle and Macon, at the expense of
the proprietor.
The paper may be expected to appear by the 20*h of
February.
Our corrcspond«*nts will direct their communicatiana
to Cherokee Court Mouse.
