rticle seventh is entitled -"a History of &eorgia," from its first d'scovery to the adop tion of the present Constitution, in 1793, by Wm. Bacon Stevens. 'I'his work of Dr. Ste ; ens, Professotrof Belles Lettres, at Athens, is one of great research and value, and is oniy in part completed. It does honor to its author, to the State of Georgia, and to those of her citi% zens who have aided the learned professor in dny way in his labors. In the cominencement of Chia article. the reviewer pays a well merited tribute to the enterprize and public spirit, and rapidly advancing intelligence of our sister Sia e. We believe that Georgia, in her march ib idipiovement. is perhaps, at this time, excel led by no State in the Union. The last article entitled "Critical Notices," Contains many thingzs which will please the general reader. We commend the present gumber to the perusal of our readers who have an opportunity of prucmrin it. Forthc Alrcrtisrr. tEM1NIsCENCEs OF THE P.ALMETTO REGI 5: EN-T. LIEUT. J. WILLIS CANTEY. No. X1. To scatn his virtues, and to praise ' exa'ted nerit oh his heart, On Fame's bright punt his na. 'e to raise. 'T'hese become the p:.triots part.-Asos. Lieutenant Willis Cantey. 2d Lieut., Company C., Kershaw District, was the son of the presett Adjutant Generd of the State-a noble son of a worthy sire. Of all that can render character estimable and lovely, he was the happy possessor. Gen tie, modest, unpretending. yet brave, gen erous and high-minded, he inspired all - around him with feelings of the warmest friendship and admiration. le was a fine specimen of the Carolina Gentleman, and a true representative of the exalted character of his chivalric family. Delicate in his feelings and nice in his sense of ho nor, he had always a peculiar regard fur the' sensitive feelings of others, and care fully avoided giving cause of offence to any. But though slow itt offending, he 'as arrong the first to show resentment 'wheu an insult or indig-tity was wantonly offered him. By his example, he always incuicated high and gentlemanly hearing. He could not brook low and unseemless '^conduct-strictly honorable himself and exalted i.s his sentiments, he was quick in condemning what to his nice sense of ho. nor .seemed unbecoming and offensive; and if anything strikingly unjust or degra. ding came within his view, he met it with a sharp rebuke, which gained not a little .are~b..a~peculiar twirl of the lips he al, *..,ways gave when highly displeased or dis satiafede In has general intercourse. with others, Lieutt Cantey was retiring an-I inclined to taciturnity; but in the circle of his is mediate and chosen friends, he was cheer ful, conmunicative and jovial. In his 'alliances of friendship, lie was candid. sIticre eand'const - s in form 'iig-tliese ties; he in dissolving then ''Whe~6brolaen, th. side.. He may b acteristidalfly be petently to do ge - -toi kirt e geneersity. - 'He hada teIr,fo pity, and a band Open- as daty, for meltig-chariy.' HI xe~av iv. fiire vi'es il'e cl'iara'cet of LU. Catitey mi ifri'ctly military joinat of vte w,- ive' will * not fi'ud- less to admire. Though thir! int command~ ini his company, he was, from * peculiar circumstances, ol'ten plated first, and he prov-ed himself as capable of filling -athis-as he-wuasof fillinig hisown immediatme -..post. - lHe was' fully competent to- comn manod and to lend his'-comnpany under any *an.,a!ll circumnstances. He made, it is truiejittle showosf lhis-military knowledge, buthe' always provedl himself equal to the p'erforstances of any task that might-hbe *assigned him. lie was quiet anid mrild in "his instructions to his company;: but he in st'ected well, and his itnfluenice was strong' ly felt. As a disciplinarian, he might ap pear comewhat rigid in comparison w'ith *'other officers oF his company. Hlis'disci pline,'however, w'as only the sugitestion of a resolute mind, impelledl by htigh no tions of excellence andI prompted by a strong desire to improve and excel. But if leaning on thre side of rigor (which we think wvas uot the fact,) his discipline was stripped of every sembldance of severity by the bland anid conceiliaitory spirit withI which it was' admirnistered. IIf it incited *to dnty, it certaintly gave no just cauise of offence: it was tempered with so miuch kindness anti good nature. it ha-I like. wise another peculiarity. It worked easi ly and quietly-it created no disturbance it worked ito ill-wsill-ii put a chiek. ir is true, upon the utronig-willed andi the wrong headed; but the res'raim was nearly al ways enforced by muildl, yet firm and man '.y entreaty. This wvas first exhaiusted atnd force was applied to only wh~en nothing short of force would answer the purpose. The penalty of the law was always the dernier resort. In the spirit with whtichm he bore the long sickness that afflicted him, and itt his gal lantry on the field of Sattle, Lieut. Cante~ gave evidences of fortitude and bravery, wihich deserve to place him high in tile af fections of his cotmntrymien. For miotthr he was prostrate on a hed of sickness, - ailicted with the diseases of the cli mate. Under their blighating influencee, he grew pale, feeble and emaciated ; Ihnt the spirit within him wrought with manttly for 'titde, and showed clearly the stamninee al which he aaos made. Providence smile. upon his spirited virtues, arnd once nmore the flush of health began to glow in) It cheeks, WVhen the regiment left Puebbt for the city of M~exico, he girded oil hi' sword again, and though muich exposed and threatened with a return of his disease, he nobly persisted in wvhat he contsidered the discharge of his duty, and nev'er f~ilter ed for a moment on any occasion wvhen the hour of danger approached, lie took an active part in all the fierce conflicti around the city of Mexico. On the terri rle day at Chorubnsco, lie stood witt "ianful hearinig the furious assaults of the n'cemy, and by his valor, achieved a name highly honorable to himself, and every way worthy of his native State. lIn this en. the command of his company devolve !now exclusively on himself. The impoi tant duties now resting on him, and th trying emergencies in which lie was plat ed, called forth all the energies of h.s n ture, and exhibited him in a new 1igh and under new developments of charace: lie came up manfully to the high de nands of his new post, and displayed degree of resolution and promptitude rar in one so young and inexperienced. Whil leading his men fearlessly on in the path of danger and distinction before the height of Chi:1pultepec, lie fell by the enemy fire, covering himself nith honor and gle ry. lie survived his wound some hour and at length expired in a village near th city of Mexico, (Tacnhnya) to which I had been removed. His death was deep ly felt by his command, and much lament ed by the wholo regiment: for he we much beloved and esteemed. Ile deserve a conspicu us rank among the young war tiors. who died fighting for their countr; and State. South Carolina. knowing hi character, would take pride in doing hone to his memory.

Iecker, of the Velasco, that before he left Vera Cruz, it was reported and generally be. - lieved there that the Congressat Queretara I had dispersed without atting on the Trea ty; and it was universally -admitted by all t classes, Mexicans. that there would he an s peace, but that the A mericans would have - either to occupy the whole country, or to s retire from it entirely. Since writing the above, we have re ceived the Vera Cruz Free American of the 5i1 inst., for which we are indebted to f the pnlite attention of Mr. Boyle oithe firm r of Boyle & 1accurry, merchants, of Vera Cruz It contains nrr news of importance, but is not the less acceptable. The Free American speaks indignantly of the conduct of the Mexican authorities, who, it is stated, are doing all they can to 1 humiliate the American citizens in Vera Cruz, and calls on the Governor to inves tigate the tmatter, and see that justice is done. It scents that since the commence ment of the armistice, the Mexican anu e thorities have resorted to all sorts of pet ' ty annoyances, trntl, as far as they dare, t have dune every thing they could to grat ify their revengeful feelings.
