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. P. -8. 1 am informed that addresses are expec 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. !

DR IV. EVANS’ CELEBRATED SOOTHING SYRUP, fur Children Cutting their Teeth.— This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil dren, when thought past recovery, from convul sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. The preparation is so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it. When infants are at the age of four months,though 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.

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.
