Dear Sir, I write TO let YOU know,
Pursuant of OUR grand design,
We have at length determined to
Give you permission to resign

The course that we think proper TO.
And the whole country recommends,
That all corruption should be stopped,
And we are troubled by some friends
That can't be altogether dropped,
And So You see, by very force,
We're driven TO this irksome course.
Being a rather sad affair,
And really for no other reason,
I've been - pains 10 take good care
TO break tie thing TO YOU in season;
And you can have till half past one,
To pack your duds up aud begonc.

For it is known that on late
Occasion, you have voted So

Corrupt aud vicious man could do.
The thing Is known beyond doubt
And duty bids us turn you out

Hard Lodging and no Heading.-Not
long since a Captain of a Steamboat OF
Columbus, started his boat down the Chat

ia Randolph county, Georgia, gave up the
helm to his Mate, and concluded to take
a land passage, by way Of tramp, and ioin
IN with the boat at some particular place.
where he had been in the habit of takI.g
IN wood. However, b. some means, he
lost his way, and came 10 a woIfpen, or
wolffall,-He, supposlng it to be a hog
pen, thought that he would crawl in at the
hole underneath the pen, to rest himselfthe
remainder part Of the night, and save him
self from the attack OF panthers and other
devOurlng beasts OF the wood. But. un.

surprise, when, IN the very act of getting

CONCLUSION.

These opportunities OF Information,
ceased at tins period, with my retirement
from this interesting scene Of action. /
had been more than year soliciting leave
TO 90 home with view TO place my daugh-
ters IN the society aud care of their friends,
and to return for short time, TO my sta
tlon at Paris. But the metamorphoss
through which our government was then
passing from its Chrysalld to its Organic
form, suspended its action in a great de-
gree; and i, was not til the last of August
that received the permission had asked.
And here | cannot leave this great and
good country, without expressing my sense
OF its pre-emlnence Of character, among
the nations Of the earth. a more beneyo-
lent people have never known, nor great
er warmth and deyoicdness In their select
friendships. Their kindness and accom-
mediation to strangers, IS unparalleled and
the hospitality of Paris 10 beyond any thing
! had conceived 10 be practicable 10 large
city. Their emlncnce, too, in science,
the communicative disposition Of their scr
entilic men, the politeness Of the general
manners, the ease and ylyacity Of their
conversation, give a charm to their socle-
ty, to be found no where else. In COM
