A young gentleman, about 25 years of age, regarded good looking, of a liberal education, of moral habits, possessing a plantation and quite a number of negroes, sufficient to support a family in luxury, takes this occasion to publish his desires in a matrimonial line, and to acquaint some distressed damsel of his whereabouts, condition, and expectations.  He is fastidious in taste, neat in dress, of a social disposition, and feels deeply the necessity of wedding his fortune with some young lady, kind, modest, forgiving.  She must be between sixteen and twenty years of age, of medium size, well formed, of a kind heart, and "lively as a cricket."  Any young lady who meets this description, and is desirous of forming an alliance with a warm hearted Southerner, full of hope and promise, is requested to address box 61 Forsyth, Georgia, care of Julius Morgan.
