To the Hanks of Georgia.
Tout Gxinkh, Aug. 10, 1830.
M i sshs. Jovss& Sh*w: —l beg leave through
your paper to call the attention of the Hanks ol
Georgia to this part of the country. We wish
capital to purchase cotton,and also to root outan
unsound currency which is in circulation amongst
us, and plant in its stead a sound one. At pre
sent, vve have nothing hut the hills of the non
specie paying Hanks of Florida, in circulation
amongst us; and if our Planters should ship
their cotton to Apalachicola, they arc paid off in
the same depreciated currency which one hundred
miles north of them is from 10 to 30 per cent
under par.
It is the general opinion of the largest Planters
in this section of the country, that if there is
capital sufficient to purchase it, —there can and
will be sold here the next season from 15,000 to
18,000 bags of first quality cotton, and that ij
there was u certainly of having capital every sea
son, the amount would he doubled in less than
three years. Fort Gaines is one of the most
pleasantly situated towns on the Chaltahoochic
river, between Columbus and Apalachicola, and
is growing daily into importance. It Ims the
counties of Early, Randolph, Uakcr, and a por
tion of Lee, to support it, together with a portion
of Alabama. It has eight or nine stores or busi
ness houses, and about six hundred inhabitants,
it is situated in the best cotton growing part of J
Georgia, which is rapidly settling up and is daily
becoming of more and more importance, and 1
cannot doubt that if some good Hunk was to es'
lablisli a Branch in this place, it would find it
much to its interest, us well as to the interest of c
the planters and merchants. tl
We wish u sound currency, such u one as will J*
drive from amongst us the hills of the depreciated a
banks and shin-plasters of Florida and Alabama, f
and answer us a purpose in the middle and east- "
ern portion of the State. Will any of the banks
of Augusta give us a branch ! We think a 0
branch would suit us better than an agency as n
well as the bank, us it would bo permanently 10-1'
1'
eated, and would promise the planter at all times’ j
a certainty of capital. i
Will you please to give publicity to the above '
in your paper, and oblige, &c. |
Fur the Chronicle $ Sentinel. 1
Miissui;. Eiutoiis :— Knowing the interest t
you feel in the operations of the Augusta Denev- *
£
olent Society, I take the liberty, through your
paper, of calling the attention of our citizens to c
the anniversary of that Society, which is to be «
celebrated in the Methodist church on Friday '
v
evening next.
The Society, in its present form, will enter upon |
the third year of its operations after the present 1
, ‘ i
week.
i
The actual amount of good accomplished by it’ i
has been great, wy giro/, if we look at the sub- I
joet merely in an economical point of view. 1
But it is with far different feelings that its friends ,
are disposed to regard it. They contemplate it
in the character of husbands, fathers, brothers, 1
wives and sisters.
i
To wipe the tear from sorrow’s eye, to speak ,
words of consolation where they arc seldom beard. >
To place in the hands of the destitute and ufllie- '
ted mother the means of alleviating the wants of ]
her little ones. To bring the kind-hearted and
sympathizing physician to cheer by his skill the
abodes of misery, is a wish, the nrolits of which
are not to be estimated in dollars and cents.
1 am paint’d to know that this institution is in
a languishing condition, not in a pecuniary way
for our fellow-citizens show a disposition even to
lavish their funds upon it; but it languishes from a
want of interest in its operations; the great body of
the society seeming to surrender the care ot its
interests to the custody of the few who attend its
regular meetings.
1 hope that a new interest will be awakened in
the public mind by the coining anniversary, and
that the society may go on to shed its heathful
influence on the abodes of the sick of our city and
1
vicinity. Manet's.

ted from Rev. A. H. Longstrect and others, and
the annual report will doubtless be an interes
ting paper.
From the Charleston Courier,
The Southron.
This is a highly creditable |ieriodical, publish
ed at Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It is well sustained
by Alabama writers of both sexes—and is quite a
gem in the literature of the South West. On its
j list of contributors are live ladies of Alabama, and
one of Mississippi, and twelve gentlemen ol’Ala
: bania, three ot Mississippi, two ot Louisiana, one
of Tennessee, one of South-Ctrolina, and two of
Georgia. The May number is before us. It
opens with a tasteful and instructive article, on
the science of flowers, from the pch of Mrs. Ellen
B. H. Freeman, of Tuscaloosa. “The Fated Ci
ty,” Pompeii, buried in all her wealth and pride,
beneath “a flood of lava,” is sung in appropriate
strains by Alexander B. Meek, of the same place,
| the accomplished editor of the Magazine. Mrs. !
Charlotte L. Hale, of Mobile, contributes a moral
i tale entitled George Byrnhard. illustrative of the
I evils of selfishness and grasping avarice.
“ Amelia, the Western Poetess,” by Win. U.
Gallagher, ''selected (rom the Htzptriar) i: an
article defeat beauty ami interest,on “the sweet
and thrilling notes" of a young poetess, which
some lime since, “burst startingly upon the ear
of the literary world, from the wilds oi Kentuc
ky," ami whi.di were “caught up by melody lov
ers, throughout the Union, and sung in every
; peopled valley, and echoed from every sunny hill
side of our vast domain.” From this article we
arc tempted to make the following extracts, part
ly to introduce our readers to this Backwoods Fo
i etess,” and partly to justify the enthusiasm of her
eulogist.
“ The first three or four pieces of hers, that
were given to the public, were published rather
by stealth than otherwise, so diffident was their
■ young author, and ignorant of the presence oi
that high genius which animated her soul. The
medium of publication, selected by her friends,
was the Louisville Journal, and through tins pa
per she received a favorable introduction to the
world, from one fully capable of sympathising
with her spirit, understanding her genius, and ap
preciating the ‘forms of tilings unknown,’ w hich
her rich ‘imagination bodied lortli.’ Since that
time, scarce a fortnight has passed, in which the
gushing melody of her harp has not fallen upon
the ears, and touched the hearts, of thousands of
her country men; and recently its notes, as a gen
tle and spiritual accompaniment to the voice of
Old Ocean, have passed over the Atlantic, and
drawn plaudits from those not apt to bestow
praise where merit is not manifest.
And here, in ‘Amelia’s’ lines written ‘On see
ing an infant sleeping on its Mother’s Bosom,’ is
one of those tender and beautiful pictures, with
their delicate outline and rich warmth of coloring
which the genius of Mrs. Jlemans used with
such delight to paint.
‘li lay upon its mother’s breast, a thing
Bright as a dew drop when it first descends,
Or as the plumage of an angel’s wing,
Where every tint of rainbow beauty blends ;
It bad suit violet eyes, that ’ncath each lid
Hall closed upon them, like bright waters shone,
W bile its small dimpled hands were slyly hid
In the warm bosom that it nested on.
There was a beam in that young mother’s eye,
l/il by the feelings that she could not speak,
As Irom her lips a plaintive lullaby
Stirred the bright tresses on her infant’s cheek;
While now and then with melting heart she prest
Soft kisses o’er its red and smiling lips—
I/ips, sweet as rose-buds in fresh beauty drest,
fire the young murmuring bee theirboney sips.
it was a fragrant eve; the sky was full
OI burning stars, that tremulously clear
Shone on those lovely ones, while the low lull
Os falling waters fell upon the car,
And the new moon, like a pure shell of pea.il,
Encircled by the blue waves of the deep,
Lay mid the fleecy clouds that love to curl
Around the stars when they their vigils keep-
My heart grew softer as I gazed upon
That youthful mother, as she soothed to rest
With a low song her loved and cherished one—
The hud of promise on her gentle breast;
For ’lis a sight tlial angel ones above
May sloop to gaze on from their bowers of bliss,
When innocence upon the breast of Love
is cradled in a sinful world like this.”
‘ Our backwoods poetess !' Alas, that we
should have to tear the richest jewel from our own
coronal, and place it in that of another ! Ilut,
the little town of Bt. Michaels, in Maryland, has
the honor of being the birth-place of Amelia B.
Uoppuck; and far be it from us to conceal in an
article like the present, the knowledge of this fact.
I' rom the deep bosomed solitude of the western
wilderness, however, first stole upon the ears of
the American world, the sweet strains of the
young Singer; and with this, and the certainty
ol her ever abiding among us, till her gushing
melody is hushed in death, we are satisfied.
The father oi Miss Coppuck, a respectable and I
ingenious mechanic, removed to Kentucky, from I
Maryland, some four years since, and after tarry- ]
ing a little time at Lexington, settled in Louis
ville. Amelia is one of a family of four or five
children, among whom are two sisters older than
herself. Bho was about fourteen years of age at
the time of her removal to the West, and had
been for several years in the habit of stealing
alone to her chamber, or into the fields and woods,
and improvising verses. Some of these she
sang, as they gushed from her full heart, to wild
old airs; and such would live in her memory, and
occasionally he warbled Irom her tongue for weeks,
and then pass into forgetfulness. Others she
would reduce to writing, during the impulse in
which they were produced; and those which were
fortunate enough to get transferred to the blotted
page, held their existence thus by a very feeble te
nure—for no sooner were they supplanted in her
affections, by a more recent child of her restless
ami burning fancy, than they, ‘the firstlings of
her flock,’ were given to the flames, an offering
to that Genius whose spirit she felt moving upon
the waves of her soul, but whose character she
could not comprehend, and whose mission to her
was yet a mystery.
We have alluded to Miss Coppuck’s two sis
ters. They have both been married several years
and separated from her. Her mother is dead and
reposes alar off. Her own lot is cast, among
strangers, in a strange but welcome land. And
of the severance of persons, and the sundering of
holiest ties, occasioned by these events, the young
poetess has sung in some of the sweetest strains
that have ever gushed Irom the full heart of Hu
manity. ‘My Sisters,’ is the brief and simple in
scription of those music notes.
‘Like flowers that softly bloom together,
Upon otic fair and fragile stem,
Mingling their sweets iu sunny weather,
E’re strange rude hands have parted them;
So were we linked unto each other,
Sweet Sisters! in our childish hours,
For then one fond and gentle Mother
To us was like the stem to flowers.
She was the golden thread that bound us
hr one bright chain together here,
Till Death unloosed the chord around us.
And we were severed far and near.
The flowret’s stem, when broke or shattered,
Must east its blossoms to the wind,
Vet round the buds, tho’ widely scattered,
The same soft perfume still we find ;
Ami thus, although the tie is broken
That linked us round our mother’s knee,
The memory of words we’ve spoken,
When wo were children light and free,
Will, like the perfume of each blossom,
Live in our hearts where’er we roam,
As when we slept on one fond bosom.
And dwelt within one happy home.
I know that changes have come o’er us;
Sweet Sisters! we are not Hie same,'
For different paths now lie before us,
And all three have a different name ;
And yet. it Sorrow's dimming fingers
Have shadowed o’er each youthful brow,
j So much of light around them lingers,
I cannot trace those shadows now.
Ve both have those who love ye only,
V\ hose dearest hopes are round ye thrown;
M hile, like a stream that wanders lonelv,
Am I, the youngest, wildest one.
My heart is like the wind that beareth
Sweet scents upon its unseen wing—
The wind ! that for no creature carelh,
Vet stealeth sweets from every thing:
It hath rich thoughts forever leaping
1 p. like the waves ot flashing seas.
That with their musicslillare keeping
1 Soft time with every fitful breeze ;
Each leaf that in the bright air quiver;,
The sounds from hidden solitude.-.,
And the deep How of far off rivers, '
And the loud rush of many Hoods.
All these, and more, stir in my bosom
Feelings that make my spirit glad,
Like dew-drops shaken in a blossom
And yet there is a something sad
Mixed with these thoughts,like clouds,that hov’r
Above us in the quiet air,
Veiling the moon’s pale beauty over,
Like a dark spirit brooding there.
Hut, Sisters! these wild thoughts were never
Vours, for ye would not love like me
To gaze upon the stars forever,
To hear the wind’s wild melody ;
.j Ye’d rather look on smiling faces,
And linger round a cheerful hearth,
Than mark the stars’ bright hiding places.
As they peep out upon the earth.
But, sisters, as the stars ofeven
Shrink from day’s golden Hashing eye,
And, melting in the depths of heaven,
Veil their soft beams within the sky;
So will we pass, the joyous hearted,
The fond, the young, like stars that wane,
’Till every link of earth lie parted,
To form in Heaven one mystic chain ?
We have spoken, in this paper, first of‘Amelia,’
—then of Miss Coppuck—and now ‘another
change’ must come over spirit of this dream.—
It shall be ushered in by a few verses, that may
be allowed to speak their own praises to every
pure heart.
‘Oh, for the bright and gladsome hours,
When, like a wandering stream,
My spirit caught from earth and sky,
The light of every beam ,
When if into my laughing eye
A tear-drop chanced to start,
’Twas banished in a moment by
The sunshine of the heart.
I’m musing on the happy past,
The first spring time of life,
When every tone of wind and wave
With melody was rife;
When all youth’s hopes and promises,
Those rainbows of my sky,
Danced forth in fairy vision
Before my wandering eye.
My heart is with the leaping rills,
That murmur round the home,
Where first my lips were taught to speak,
My tiny feet to roam ;
The sweet songs of the happy birds,
The whispering wild voiced breeze.
That caught the faint breath of the rose,
And waved amid the trees.
How many mournful memories,
Steal gently through my mind,
Like spirit-voices borne along
Upon the wandering wind ;
And as Thought leads me back again,
1 almost seem to trace
In each sweet flower, and shrub, and tree,
borne fond familiar face.
’Tis thought, because I smile on all,
That I am vain and gay,
That by the world's light flattery
I may be lured astray ;
They know not that my heart oft breathes
Its fragrance out in sighs,
That sad songs tremble on my lips,
And tears within my eyes.
My thoughts are all as pure and sweet,
As when {I was a child,
And all my bright imaginings
Are just as free and wild ;
And were it not for one bright link,
Within affection's chain,
1 I'd wish to wander to that spot,
I Andjie a child again.'
11 here is a ‘mystic meaning’ in the four lines
which we have in italics, and we almost fear to
‘read the riddle.’ We know not how many young
bachelors’ hearts we have fired, in the course of
our remarks, ‘with a sense of delight and of
love ;’ and therefore it is, that we hesitate at this
stage ot our task. It is always disagreeable, to
be compelled to throw cold water upon a generous
ardor. Duty, however, is paramount to inclina
tion. All which means, that the ‘Amelia,’ whom,
few pages back, we transformed into Miss
Coppuck. must here undergo another metamor
phosis, and be presented to our readers as Mrs.
Welby ! Cool down your ‘furnace-breathing bo
soms young gentlemen, and tuck your tear-damp
ened handkerchiefs carefully out of sight. ‘lt’s
no use Inkin’ on !’ as the sage Samuel Slick, of
Slickville, says ; for Mr. George Welby, a young
Louisville merchant, is ‘the happy man.’ Miss
Coppuck was married to Mr. Welby, some five
or six' months ago ; and may that ‘one bright
link within affection’s chain,’which binds her to
the West, grow brighter and brighter, and stronger
and stronger, forever, as life wears on! Her
husband has ‘taken a jewel to his heart;’ may
he ‘wear it’ as becomes a mas !
The time has not yet arrived, for either analy
sing the character of Mrs. Welby’s genius, or
scrutinizing her poetry with a critical eye. That
the former is of a very high order, no one can
deny, who has anything like a just appreciation
of imaginative writings: that the latter Hows
from a heart which has been touched by the true
wand of Inspiration, can be doubled by none
but those who walk with their heads buried in
rent-per-cent, calculations, and carry their hearts
in their pocket books. More completely than any
other poet of our country, we think, with a soli
tary exception, Mrs. Welby comes within Shak
sphare’s classification, of ‘the lunatic, the lover,
ami the poet, tdie truly is ‘of imagination all
compact.’ She ‘has her being’ in an Ideal World,
where the children of her burning fancy‘live and
move,’—where the flowers of Paradise bloom and
breathe out their wealth of perfume—where the
winds of Eden fan her bright cheek and lave her
fevered temple—and where the lulling sounds of
brooks, like Kedron, fall upon her enraptured car.
And there
‘bright thoughts to her are given,
As many as the clustering leaves of June
And her young heart is like a harp of heaven
Forever strung unto some pleasant tune.’
That this is a state the most favorable of any
| to poetical developement, wo by no means believe;
I nor do we think that Mrs. Welby is to live in it
j s 0 exclusively hereafter, as she has done hereto
| ,ore - Happy, indeed, might it be for her, if she
j could. But a new existence is now opening j
i upon her, the stern realities of which will soon j
I gather about her way. This is the existence of !
j Actual Life. And when the Palpable Presence i
| of this world come in contact with the Air Shapes '
ot the Ideal, there will be a severe conflict, in
i which in dreams, visions, imaginings, hopes, ay!
; al> that in young life wears the feeling ofimmor-
I tality, shall be overthrown, trampled upon, and
j crushed forever. But out of this conflict, and
; from among the wrecks of its creating, the poshe !
I will come with achastened heart, and with purer j
i tastes, and brighter purposes, and stronger hopes, ‘
and feelings that, having been tried in the fur
i nace. shall be mighty to suffer and to do.
When Mrs. Welby shall have tinned this
j point in her career, her poetry will wear a new
i aspect, and speak of a new life ; and then may
it be freely examined, and with a surutiny that
{ Would now he unjust, and be safely subjected to
I tests, which it could not now endure.

there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the
pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup
in the nursery where there are young children; fur
if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the
pores and healing the gums ; thereby preventing
■convulsions, fevers, &c. Sold only at Dr. Wm.
Evans’ Medical Office, 100 Chatham street, New-
York, where the Doctor may be consulted on all
diseases of children.
PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF
Dr. EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent
of Dr. Evans ’ Soothing Syrup-. Dear Sir—The
great benefit afforded to my suffering infant by
your Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and
painful dentition, must convince every feeling pa
rent how essential an early application of such an
invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and
toiture. My infant, when teething, experienced
such acute sufferings, that it was attacked witq
convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that
death would soon release the babe from anguish
till we procured a bottle of your Syrnp; which as
soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change
was produced, and after a few applications the
child displayed obvious relief, and by continuing in
its use, 1 am glad to inform you the child has com
pletely recovered, and no recurrence of that awful
complaint has since occurred ; the teeth are ema
nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health.
1 give you my cheerful permission to make this
acknowledgment public, andwill gladly give any
information on this circumsti nee.
