they would swallow the 'ship- at one mo

' In proposing to publish a new Journal; and there

Theology, we will carefully and conrtaritly hold up

A CARD. -Miss Mklish returns her grateful
AA acknowledgemcnta to those, who, with gene-
tous confidence, nave entrusted their children to her
care.' Aa she is a stranger to many in Raleigh, it
has been auggesled to her that she ought to state to
those who may deem the information important, that
jier education has fitted her lor the office of a teacher.
J In Europe, she was for some yars a pupif of the
celebrated Mr. Babks, Professor of Rhetoric and Elo
Uon, " completed heratudie. under the best

Were FssHixoas Cnorsa, Esq., author f tho Spy,
Pioneer, &c. Gcoaea GaiFriK,Esq. Coi.THqax,now
in Europe. She Is prepared to teach the plain and
higher branches of a thorough English Education, to
gether with French and Spanish and Italian Langua
ges; also Music.
;; Miss Melish recommends to her pupils to study
French upon the Oral system, introduced by Messrs.
Makerca and Vaick, but she will teach either upon
the old 'principle, or the" new, as she has studied both.
: C As' to her mode of instruction, she would lieg leave
19 state that her object is not to cram her pupils with
masses of undigested matter,, becauso she is fully
aware that the memory can be cultivated at the ex-
pence of the higher faculties of the mind. : For in- 1 mer Goods, consisting in j part of the follWirig arti
stance, a child might commit the consents of a Geog- I cesf Superior black and blue-black Silks, fancy col-

Seven hundred and "twenty' acre, Ta xall county
on the A'tamahaw River," adjoining lands of Ambrose
uordon and others. " , . .
These lands ate offered to be sold at private sale,
but if not disposed of in this manner to our satisfac
tion, they will be sold to the higheot b'dder, on 'the
first Tuesday in December next, at the Court bouse
door in the city of Milledgeville, one-third rash, the
balance in two equal annual payments, with interest,
and undoubted personal security. 1 i -
We offer for sale also two' splendid settlements of
land, in Baker county, one containg 1250 acres, the
ther 2250 acres. The first settlement e.mbracea the
following lots: Nob. 26 and 3, 8th district Baker;
No. 19, 20; and 22, 7th district Baker 1250 acres.
The other setdement contains the following Lots
of Land, to wit t Nos. 225. 256, 265, 295, 294, 266,
2g7, 229, 2522250 acres, and all in the 2d district
Baker county.
In regard to the character of these two last named
settlements of land or plantations, it is sufficient to
say, they have been pronounced by competent judges
to be inferior to no body of land north of the Sabine
River. Their location, fertility, and production, for
corn and cotton, cannot be narpased; they -lie
tween the Chattahoochee and Flint River; a section
of our State that is rapid y attracting public notice,
and in a very few years will stand unrivalled as a cot
ton growing section of the Southern States. These
were selected with great care.and expense, by one of
the best judges of such property in his life time, for
bis special uae and accommodation. w ' v-r -: jr
The undersigned are very desirous to diapDse of
them two bodies of land, in two separate plantations,
and will do so at private sale; to a fair purchaser; Tand
on good time. But if not so arranged, they will' be
offered at the same' lime and place, arid oh the.aathe
terms, as the first mentioned scattering lands, lot by
lot, and they are offered to the public at this early no
tice, in the hope of their receiving the strictest person
al examination. ; f ; '

HENDE K S ON GA Z E Tt
The undersigned proposes to publish a Weekly
Paper under the above tithi, in the Town of Hender
son, Granville County, N. C. h Will be devoted to
the proper purpose of this class of publications luo
enlightenment of the People t and, at such a lime 'as
tbM, when diverse and adverse opinions upon subjects
of geiieral concernment are dividing the public mind,
the Lditor will best promote this purpose by seUH
forth the duTerent doctrine, held by opposing parties ;
and advocating those which he believes to l-e Uue.
Si far. then, as the Gazette assumes a political char
acter, it will espouse the cauea of true Republicanism,
In opposition to the policy and principles of the pfeM
sent Administration, and fight manfully the good light
agajnst theowera that be, in behalf of the powers
that will lie, when truth shall triumph over error.
And the Editor will account himself fortunate if the
exertion of his-feeble abilities' shall contribute a mite'
to the extension of Whig principles, and the elevation
of General. Hi ami son, to the highest station of dig
pity and trust in' the National Government.
In the discussion of public questions, however, it
will be the Sim of the' Editor to preserve the dignity
pf the Press, amid the turmoil of political strife, from
the degradation to which it too often sinks from that
rancour and virulence of party spirit, which ever proves
the greatest drawback to the cause it is designed to
promote.- And the undersigned pledges himself that
this paper shall be conducted with fairness, and truth
-shall show all respectful .courtesy to honest oppo
nents and maintain a' gentlemanly bearing: towards
all. He has chosen his -ground the firm foundation
of well settjed princifdea-and .with alt openness and
candor, he will rear upon it a structure of reason and
argument as a strong hold of the pause he. believes to
be just. From political friends, he expects' patron
age and support from enemies, nothing but the res
pect due to an honorable enemy and this it will Ins bis
endeavor to command. : . :?
A considerable portion of the Gaxctte will be devo
ted to the entertainment of the lovers of Polite Literi-
tore-and in this department, the publisher will exert
himself to recommend it to men f mtelUcen' and
taste.-'v1-'---r: ' . '; .'
" The publisher can command the most ample means
for obtaining thie latest 'news from all parts of the
country and the Gazette wtll always supply full jp
teltigence jupon all subjects of general interest. The
daily arrival of Goods. 4c by the Rail Road the
prices current of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Richmond, "Norfolk, Petersburg, Henderson, Raleigh
and U ilmington, will be regularly' puhlivhed, with alt
Other matters of interest to the people of this immed:;
ate neighborhood. ; The Gazette will be of the size of
