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 s on, on the simple pruot lhal men have gone oj. to shed bloou illegally ; and the law wdi be 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.

The Spin s i JSriguild. —“A s.ion time after 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. 100 DOLLARS REWARD.

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. February 8 68 A.

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.

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. Editors in Georgia are requested to publish the *• bove. ’December 2D 58 fSUP WHEREAS the Trustees of the Academy of Richmond County, have given notice that they will.lease the South Common on the first Tuesday in February hist, and whereas the Said ■.
