The papers will tell you that the object of his visit to the latter city was to be present at the open- li ve.

When the dim morning from her sleep awakes, And the full sun in cloudless beauty breaks, Gem’ing with diamond drops the dewy leaves, And bathing in rich gold the sighing trees Whose waving boughs, all moist with dew and light Blend into one, the joys of day and night: Then as each changing softness of the morn and tree One beauty forms—We w r ill Remember thee! Remember Thee! When the gay-wing’d bird fleets lightly on, Breathing her thrilling joys, in gushing song Of sweetly changing notes, now wild and glad, Now melting in sweet pathos low, to music sad:— Then each mournful cadence of her song will be A sweet,—tho’ sad—Remeinb’rance of Thee. Remember Thee ! Oh! Sarah! in thy gentle sleep, thou It evern know The mighty anguish—nor the wild deep woe Of hearts that live to feel—and wildly weep O’er memries dark, that will not—cannot sleep: Shrouding the living heart in woful gloom— ’Til like its grief become a tenant of the tomb Oh! thou would’st weep, if from thy dream less sleep could’st see The grief of breaking hearts—Rcmemb’ring Thee! Remember Thee! In the dim waste ol years, whose ceaseless tide Wafts balm to broken hearts—while youth and pride In all its warm freshness, and its soft young light _ . Is shrouded in the gloom, of life’s bleak night: Then in each changing tone ot earth s dark sea We’ll mourn a beauty gone—We will Remem ber Thee ! Augusta, August 12, 1852. MISCELLANEO US. [from the n. o. picayune.] Editorial Correspondence, Paris, Thursday, July 22, 1852. In one branch of business in France, wbich formerly gave full and constant em ployment to numbers, Louis Napoleon has caused an almost utter stagnation ; the oc cupation of the news paper correspondent is gone. In former times—in days of’48 when every species of political quack and mountebank, raising all sorts of political jack-o’-lanthorns, drew the inhabitants off into swamps of continual excitement, tur bulence and revolution, then the correspon dents of the English and American journals ever had the raw material before them to work up into interesting letters. But since Louis Napoleon-has assumed the reins of supreme power, there appears to be an end to every thing in the way of excitement. The French, under his regime, are rational beings in comparison to what they were ; they now seem to have legitimate callings and business to occupy their minds and bodies—are what we in the States are wont to term useful and industrious mem bers of society. The wheels of government now move like clock-work—run smoothly and evenly—without let or hindrance from a community which seems perfectly con tented and happy. There are no plots hatching deserving the name—n d opposi tion whatever is manifest—the Prince President has his own way in every thing; the duty of the historian, who is called up on to record the events of the last six months of the reign of Louis Napoleon Bo naparte, will be but an easy task. Whetk er the condition of the French is better or worse under such a state of things, or when all is turmoil, riot and foolish experiment, I leave it for my readers to decide. At last acoounts—and the telegraph Paris. At every point on the long route his appearance was marked by an enthusi asm most unwonted even in France—there is no mistake about this—while at Stras burg the inhabitants went almost crazy in their desire to do him honor. I know this to be so from private accounts; I do not gather it from the public rejiorts of his pro gress. After the ceremonies of the inau guration of the road were over, he appear ed among the citizens in plain clothes, and without escort of any kind, when the en thusiasm seemed to increase. I note these things as matters of history, and to show the real state of feeling in France, wherever its ruler appears openly among the inhabi-* tants. I have never been admirer of Louis Napoleon; on the contrary, I have ever looked upon the act bv which he assumed power as a positive and unjustifiable usur pation. But at the same time I have ever contended that the French were utterly unable to govern themselves—that the des potism of the one man power, as the mass es are at present educated, was preferable to the absurd attempts of the many to car ry on a republic—and I simply point to the present happy state of the country as proof that I have not been far out of the way. Every day the evidence accumulates that the people of Europe are utterly inca pable of self-government—they are half a century behind us in all the essentials that render men able to govern themselves, the preachings of swarms of revolution mon gers to the contrary. And when we all know that the Dictator of France walks a- bout openly among all classes of his sub jects, without guard or escort, and when we farther know that the Emperor of Austria has just returned from a visit to Huno-ary, through the length and breadth of which he has passed without a corporal’s ^uard, and amid the rejoicings of a community which seemed to greet him as one man— when all this passes under our notice, or comes well authenticated by facts, it is near ly time for us to reserve our sympathy and our intervention until we can find a better market for them than Europe at present of fers. But I will pester you no more with politics this morning. An estimate has just been made of the cost of keeping the streets of Paris in order from which our law-givers may learn some thing. To keep a square yard of macadam as it is called in travelling condition costs per annum 4 francs, or about 80 cents ; to keep a square yard of the ordinary stone pavement in order costs 50 centimes, or a- bout 10 cents—a vast difference in the ex penditures of a large city. The weather here in Paris, which was most insufferably hot during the two first weeks of July, has turned pleasantly cool during the last four or five days, much to the satisfaction of both man and beast. The number ofsudden deaths among the population, during the excessive heat, was really alarming, the papers every morning giving long lists. Tfie number of horses which fell dead in harness was also unusual while the list of mad dogs, and of persons bitten by them and afterwards died of hy drophobia, was absolutely terrifying. Every dog running loose and unmuzzled was pitch ed upon by the police, and if he succeeded in getting clear of poisoned sausages and clubs, was compelled to run a gauntlet which in the end was enough to drive the best disposed cur raving mad. Thousands of dogs have been killed, and those left alive have only been secured by being tied fast in inaccessible b ck yards or stowed away in garrets. Many of the stories told of suf fering by hydrophobia have - been -of the most heart-rending description, while again the excitement in relation to mad dogs has given rise to several bits of waggery of the most ludicrous and laughable description. One story is so amusing that I must relate it in full. Three days'since a cattle-dealer named Taxile, appeared before the Tribunal of Cor rectional Police, brought there charged with having given a person named Rajou a most unmerciful thrashing. It was a plain case—Rajou caried the marks and more than the number of Taxile’s fists about his nose, face and eyes—he had received a mauling as severe as though he had been engaged in a prize-fight with the champion of England. But Taxile, in his defence, contended that Rajou deserved all he got, and more, and told the following story in proof. On one of the hottest of the recent hot days, he, Taxile, who is a very fat man, got into the coupe of a diligence running to Arpajon, and there found another man as fat as himself. The coupe held but three ordinary persons—there was barely room and no comfort even for the two then in pos session—but soon Rajou stopped the ve hicle and crowded himself in. Under such circumstances the latter should have been quiet, should have accommodated himself to any physical discomfort of his own choo sing ; but being a wag, be bethought him of a plan to get the coupe all to himself. Settling himself between the two fat men, he began to eye them in a sinister manner, commenced writhing about in a strange and wild way, growled something after the style of an exasperated cur, and then set to work gritting and grinding his teeth as with iTl-suppressed rage, biting his lipsj and rolling his eyes from one to the other as though savage enough to eat them up a- manner for ?” “I hope I shall not bite you!” respon ded Rajou, apparently with great effort; “I will endeavor not to bite either of you, but am not responsible for consequences !” “Bite us ! mon Dieu!” ejaculated both the fat men in a breath; “you haven’t got the hydrophobia, have you ?” “I-I-I hope not,” continued Rajou. still gritting his teeth, “but I was bitten by a mad dog a few days since, and I begin to think I have the premonitory symptoms of hydrophobia!” In less than two seconds after this last remark Rajou had the coupe all to himself while the two fat men were seen bolting a cross the fields as though forty mad dogs were after them, and puffing and blowing like porpoises. The affair might have en ded here had not the wag boasted of his exploit, the particulars of which getting to the ears of Taxile’s friends, he was so quiz zed that in his rage he sought out Rajou and gave him the thrashing complained of. The court decided that he had not the right to chastise the hoaxer, and compelled the fat cattle-dealer to pay 25 francs for the as sault. Another amusing story, all about the hot weather, is told of an enchanted French man living at Gentilly. Of a sudden his neighbors saw a perfect shower of chairs, tables, pots, frying-pans kettles and other articles of kitchen and household furniture flying in confusion from his windows. On rushing up they found his apartment clear-, ed of everything save the bedstead, and this he was unscrewing in order that he might pitch it out in company with the rest of his furniture. In answer to a question as to the cause of such proceedings, the man wiping the perspiration which was pouring from his face and forehead, quietly said that he wanted air !—he was too close and hot in apartments furnished. The latest news I have seen from Spain is dated at Madrid on the 4th inst. On that day the Queen arrived in the capitalj and proceeded at once to the church of Atocha, carrying the infant Princess of the Asturias in her own arms. On the next day—on the 5th of July 1852—there was to be a bull fight on a grand scale given by royal command, on which occasion, accor ding to the printed programme, the infant Princess, who must no«v be nearly six months old, was to “witness the great na tional sport of Spain for the first time !” It is to be hoped she was old enough to “take notice.” In the same paper in which I read the above I saw the particulars of a national cruise recently taken by the Queen of En gland. As the report ran: “Her Majesty Queen Victoria, accompanied by Prince Al bert, the Prince of Wales, and the entire brood of royal princes and princesses, sailed from the Isle of Wight at a quarter past 5 o’clock, on a cruise, and returned a little after 7.” The idea of calling a little ex cursion of a couple of hours a cruise, sounds ridiculous enough—is like terming a sim ple trip or errand of a boy to the post office the sending him on a long journey—but it must be acknowledged that the recreations and amusements of her Majesty of England offers her royal progeny are far more hu manizing in their influence than the page ants got up by her Majesty of Spain to tic kle the juvenile heir apparent to her throne and sceptre. Yours, &c. g. w. K. Democratic Meeting. Savannah, 31st August, 1852. In pursuance of a public call, the Dem ocratic party assembled at the Exchange Long Room this evening. On motion of Dr. R. Wayne, Hon. Thom as Purse was called to the Chair, and E. G. Wilson and John N. Lewis appointed Secretaries. Col. R. H. Griffin, after some remarks, offered the following resolutions: Whereas differences of opinion, on cer tain grave questions of national legislation, unconnected with mere party issues, have, unfortunately, for nearly two years past, di vided the Democracy of Chatham County, in common with the Democracy of all other sections of our State; and whereas, the ques tions which caused the separation, having been settled, it is now our duty, forgetting whatever of discord has existed in the past, and mindful only of the great political prin ciples which we all cherish, to come togeth er, once more on the broad platform of Jef fersonian Democracy: Be it therefore Resolved, That the Dem ocrats of Chatham County, cordially re-uni ted, hereby declare their unqualified approv al of the resolutions of the late National Con vention of the party, and pledge their indi vidual support to the nominees of that Con vention, ^ Franklin Pierce, of New Hamp shire, and William R. King, of Alabama, Be it further Resolved, That appealing to our brother Democrats throughout the State to come up to the good work of har monizingand strengthening the party, we respectfully suggest that, in accordance with our approved good custom, and for the pur pose of affecting a thorough re-union of all the friends of our principles, a MASS MEET ING of the Democracy, and all others of our citizens, disposed to unite with us in the support of Pierce and King, be called Editorial Life.—The following remarks of Dr. Johnson gives an answer to many complaints of the present day. Dr. John son says : ‘’I know no classes of the com munity from whom so much disinterested benevolence and thankless labor are expec ted as from editors of newspapers. They are expected to feel for every one but them selves—to correct public abuses, and pri vate ones also, without giving offence—to sustain the difficulties of others, without re gard to their own—to condemn improper measures of every one, and not one at the same time. They are expected to note ev erything that is important or extraordinary of men’s opinions, their notices must be cal culated to please every one, and at the same time offend no one.” to assembe in the city of Atlanta, on the eigh teeth day of September next, or at such other time and place as to a majority of the party, in primary meetings assembled, shall seem expedient. Be it f urther Resolved, That the Chair man of this meeting appoint a Committee of Correspondence, five in number, to fur ther the object of the preceding resolution Seconded by Judge H. R. Jackson, and unanimously adopted. The meeting was then eloquently ad dressed by Judge H. R. Jackson, Solomon Cohen, Esq. and Dr. R. D. Arnold. Mr. Co hen stated that the Hon. W. R. King was expected to visit Wilmington, N. C., on his way home, and moved that the Chairman appoint a Committee of Three to invite him to visit Savannah. On motion of Capt. John W. Anderson, seconded by Jas. M. Jones, Esq., it was re solved that the Democratic party of Chath am be appointed a Committee to attend a Mass Meeting of the party at Atlanta. The Chairman then appointed the fol lowing Committees: Committee of Correspondence—Col. R. H. Griffin, T. M. Turner, Esq., Judge H. R. Jackson, Dr. J. Riordan and Capt. J. W. Anderson. Committee to address Hon. W. R. King Sol. Cohen, Esq., Dr. Chas. Ganahl and Hon. E. J. Harden. A motion was then made to adjourn. Be fore putting said motion the Chairman sug gested that three cheers be given for the Union of the Party, and three cheers for Pierce and King, and responded to enthu siastically. The meeting then adjourned. THOMAS. PURSE, Chairman. E. G. Wilson, ) Secretar : PS Jno. N. Lewis, f becrelanes * Important Rumor.—Sale of Cuba.—We clip from the Charleston Mercury of yester day the following dispatch dated New-York Monday last: “The Courier & Enquirer of to-day has a letter from Spain, announcing that the Spaniish Government has abandoned all hope of retaining Cuba. That Hayti aims to get possession of the Island and that ne gotiatious are going on with Soluque, the slaves to be liberated, &c. A great demon stration is. to be made in Cuba on the An niversary of the execution of Lopez. The Cuban Consul at New-York is ordered home, &c. The whole affair is believed by intel ligent men to be a fabrication and hoax.” Bank of St. Mary’s We find in the Montgomery Journal the following card of the President of the Bank of St. Mary’s which we publish for the ben- enfit of those holding or being interested in the Bills of that institution. Bank of St Mary’s.—For the informa tion of the creditors of the Bank of St. Ma ry’s I subjoin a condensed statement of its condition on the 23d of April last, when it suspended payment, and on its condition on the 13th July, about 80 days subsequent thereto. On the 23d of April, its entire indebted' ness, including circulation, deposits, out standing checks, &c., was $585,888 64. On the 13th of July, the entire indebtedness (iembracing every form of liability was $251,115 32; thus exhibiting a redemp tion, in 80 days, of no Jess a sum than $334, 773 32—which does not include nearly $100,000 of my own small change bills that have been promptly redeemed in that peri od, as presented. I embrace this opportunity of renewing my assurances to the public, that my efforts shall continue unremitted to redeem the is sues of the Bank—and that so far from its being insolvent, it will be able, within a reasonable time, to redeem, at par, its en tire liabilities, her good assets amounting to more than double her present indebtedness! It is hoped that this notice will secure the attention of all such editors as may be dis .posed to guard the people against the sac rifice of the notes of the Bank of St. Maiy’s JOHN G. WINTER. Travelling over Muddy Rodds.^-Por tions of Ohio were formerly notorious for awful roads. At some seasons of the year a mile an hour was considered good pro gress. Something of an idea of the. mud may bo formed from the following anec dote: A traveller was riding on horseback near Little Union meeting-house, when the mud was so deep that his foot touched the “lob lolly on either hand. The struggles of the poor horse to draw bis foot out of the soft clay, were, of course, desperate, and he could not make more than a mile and a half an hour. Ihe traveller soon came up with a man who was standing on the fence, with out coat or hat, and with a fence-rail wa9 plumbing the huge mortar-bed as though endeavoring to sound it. “Why, what’s the matter?” exclaimed the equestrian; “you seem excited and out of bieath. Are you merely amusing your self/” “Bless ye, no,” said the fence man. “I’ve lost my wagon and team somewhere along, here, and I am trying to see if I could find ’em.” The traveller could only give the unfor tunate man his sympathy, and proceeded on. Call not that man wretched who, what ever else he suffers as to pain inflicted, pleasure denied, has a child for whom he hopes, and on whom he dotes. Poverty may grind him to the dust, obscurity may cast its darkest mantle over him, the song of the gay may be far from his own dwell ing, his face may be unknown to his neigh bors, and his voice may be unheeded a- mong those with whom he dweljg, even pain may rack his joints, and sleep flee from his pillow but he has a gem which he would not part, with for wealth defying com putation, for fame filling a world’s ear, for the luxury of the highest health, or the sweetest sleep that ever sat upon a mortal eve. “Friendship is often outgrown ; and his former child’s clothes will no more fit a man thar some of his former friendships. Often a breach of friendship is supposed to occur, when there is nothing of the kind. People see one another seldom; their cour ses in life are different; they meet, and their intercourse is constrained. They fancy that their friendship is mightly cooled.*” Philadelphia, Aug. 28.— Vessel sunk by a raft.—About one o’clock this morning, a large lumber raft in tow of a steamer, ran foul of a small vessel lying at anchor above Kaign’s point, near the Jersey shore, and struck her amidships, she filled instantly and sunk, the raft passing over the spot she oc cupied. No particulars are known as to her name, or whether any one was on board. No cries were heard. A preacher in—no matter where—ob‘ served, one day, that a striking proof of this wisdom and benevolence of Providence was given in placing death at the end of life— thus giving one time for preparation. This was almost as profound a remark as that of another person, who thought “it was lucky that Sunday was placed at the end of the week, instead of the middle, as it would have made a broken week of it.” The Burial Customs of the Banes.—The European correspondent of the Spring- field Republican, writing from Copenhagen gives the following account of the burial customs in that country: “A visit to one or two cemeteries in the vicinity of Copenhagen, led me to remark some instances in which the custom of the Danes varies slightly from our own. The various ‘lots,’ as we call them, are separa ted, as with us, by hedges or iron fences, but with them you’d not see the oblon_ tapering mounds of earth, which remind us of a coffin, and are with us inseparable from the idea of a grave; but instead, you find a mound or slightly oval in form, surrounded and supported by a ring of baked gray earth enware, or else merely banked up with a bor dering of white sea sand. Sometimes, and this seems to be the newest lasliion, this mound is enclosed by a basket-shaped iron railing. But no matter how this inner inclo sure is formed, it is always planted with flowers or shrubs or even with trees, which thus grow, not as is usual with us, around the grave, but directly upon it.” Another Slander Refuted—Gen. Scott bids fair to become one of “the best abused men” who has ever run for the Presidency. The following letter from Senator Wade to a gentleman in Norfolk, while it explains it selt^ will show to what shifts his opponents are put in their work of slander. Washington, 'August 18, 1852. Win. H. Granbery, Esq.—Sir: I have the honor to receive your note of the 16ih inst., stating that at the head of a Democratic pa per, published at Elizabeth City, N. C., call ed the “Democratic Pioneer,” is the follow ing:—“I would sooner cut off my right hand than lend it to the support of Slavery.” Gen. Scott to Senator Wade. All 1 can say of the above is, (what have frequently said of it since it has been floating about in the papers,} that Gen. Scott never made any such a declaration to me or in my hearing, nor did I ever say, or pretend that he ever did, and I believ^ it to have been fabricated with a view to preju dice the Southern people against the old General. And permit me to add, that the morbid sensitiveness of the Southern mind on this subject, renders it peculiarly liable to such impositions; and Northern dema gogues knowing this, will not fail to take ad vantage of it. . Wm. H. Granbery Esq. B. F. WADE. Hasty and Cool.—There is a story going of a young man who was once invited to dine with a gentleman of rather sudden tem per. The dining room was on the second floor, and principal dish a fine roast fowl When the old gentleman undertook to carve it, he found the knife rather dull, and in a sudden passion, flung it down stairs after the servant who had brought it; whereupon the young man seized the fowl, and with admi rable dexterity flung it after the knife. “What on earth do you mean?” exclaim ed the old man, as soon as he could speak. “I beg your pardon,” was the cool reply, “I thought you were going to dine down stairs.” A preacher was holding forth and had contrived so to work upon the feelings of his auditors, that the straw on the ground inside of the altar was completely covered with prostrate mourners. Perceiving there were many others present, ready to cast themselves down, who ■- refrained from so doing solely through the want of straw to lie upon, he cried out in the midst of his ex hortation—“Straw! straw! We want more straw here! Brother Brown for the Lord’s sake run up to your tent and get more straw? Twenty souls lost for the want of straw!” (KT “Trust to Providence! Trust to Providence for assistance,’’ exclaimed a lazy husband, while his affectionate spouse was endeavoring to roll a barrel of flour up stairs. “Trust to Providence, eh! you lazy shape of a man. Do you suppose that Providence will come down and assist me to roll this barrel of flour up stairs while the devil is looking on?” E3T We learn that Rollins, said to be an accomplice of the notorious Dr. Hines, and who aided in the recent escape of that gen tleman, was arrested yesterday by the City Marshal and officer Russell, by whom he was lodged in jail with his professional friend. It appears that on Tuesday, this man Rollins succeeded, not exactly in mes merizing, but in liquorizing a verdant indi vidual, from whom he took one hundred dollars in money, a gold watch, and some other articles. With these he had made his escape, and at some place not far from Scriven’s ferry, traded his plunder for a horse, and under the name of Harper was about to continue his journey, when he was arrested and brought hack to the city, where it is to be hoped he will receive the atten tion and consideration due to his talent and enterprize. Such men as Dr. Hines and Rollins alias Harper, are entirely out of their latitude in our city, and it is to be hoped their success in attaining their deserts, will have the effect to encourage other profes sional characters of the same sort to stay away.—Sav. Mews, 26th inst. J8T “Daddy,” said a young hopeful, “let’s go up to the nine-pin alley and roll.” “Roll! boy what do you know about roll ing?” “Me know about? Why, I can roll your darned eyes out in less than ten minutes.” The long mooted question, “Who struck Billy Patterson?” we presume may be considered as settled. Some of the rap pers have been conversing with his spirit, and it savs he never was struck. “Sammy, my boy, what are breach es of trust,” said a father to his smartest son. “Why, what a funny question, Pa.” “Can’t you answer it, Sammy?” “Yes, Pa, but I don’t like to.” “What a silly boy; come, out with it.” “Well} Pa, your Sunday trousers are “breeches of trust,” cos you got ’em on tick.” [Exit Pa, whistling.] A boy was prising the skill with which a sister played the piano forte. “Why,” said he, “she once imitated thunder so natural ly that the old woman had to stop her.” “What was that for?” asked a person standing near. “Because the imitation thunder turned all the milk sonr!” jfceT “Mother, I would not be surprised if our Susan gets choked some day. rt “Why, my son?” “Because her beau twisted his arms a- round her neck, and if she had not kissed him to let her go, he would have strangled- her the other night.” J83T It seem there is a faint fmnor of a liberation of political prisoners in France. Warm as the weather has lately been, we were scarcely prepared for this new proof of it. It has even melted Louis Napoleon’s heart.—-Punch The Albany Patriot once sayth: One of our Methodist clergyman remarked that if all the world believed the second coming wasto take place on the 13th of March, 1851 at 3 o’clock, P. M., two-thirds of them would delay all preparation for it tUl half past two.” “Plaze, sir,” said an Irishman to a traveler would yez be so obliging as to take me great coat to Boston with yez?” “Yes,” said the man in the wagon; “but how will you get it again?” “Oh, that’s mighty aisy, for sure I’ll re* main inside ov it.” “You havn’t opened your mouth during the whole session,” complained a member of the late Massachusetts Legislature to a Representative from the same town. “Oh, yes I have,” -was the reply; I yawned through the whole of your speech on tho “liquor bill.” - A Sharp Wit.—An Indiana paper 9ays t that during a trial in Lawrenceport, a young lad who was called as a witness was asked if he knew what was the obligation of aq oath, and where he supposed “he would go if he told a lie? He said he supposed “be would go where all lawyers went to!” There is nothing purer than nothing sweeter than charity; nbthi than love; nothing brighter than virtue; and nothing more steadfast than " These, united in one mind, form the L the sweetest, theriehest, the brightest, ! holiest, and the most steadfast hapj" **
