WALD IK’S LITERARY OMNIBUS Novel and Important Literary Enterprise! Novels, Talcs, Biography, Voyages, Travels, Reviews, and the News of the Day. It was one of the great objects of “Waldie’s Library,” ‘•to jnuke good reading cheaper, and to bring Literature to every man’s door.” This object has been accomplished; we have given to books wings, and they have flown to the up permost parts of our vast continent, carrying society to the secluded, occupation to the lite rary, information to all. We now propose still further to reduce prices, and render tire access to a literary banquet, more than two fold ac cessible; we gave, and shall continue to give, in the quarto library, a volume weekly for two cents a day ; we now propose to give a volume, in the same period, for less than four cents a iceck, and to add, as a piquant seasoning to the dish, a few columns of shorter literary matters, and a summary of the news and events of the day. We know, by experience and calcula tion, that we can go still further in the matter of reduction, and we feel, that there is still verge enough for us to aim at offering to an increasing literary appetite, that mental food which it craves. The Select Circulating Library, now as ever so great a favorite, will continue to make its weekly visits, and to be issued in a form for binding and preservation, qnd its price and form will remain the same. But we shall, in the first week of January, 1837, issue a huge sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers of America, but on very superior paper, u.lso, fill ed with books, of the newest entertain ing, though, in their several departments of Novels, Tales, Voyages, Travels, &c., select in their character, joined with reading, such as should fill a weekly newspaper. By this meth od, we hope to accomplish a great good; to en liven and enlighten the family circle, and to give to it, at at expense which shall be no con sideration to any, a mass of reading, that, in book form, would alarm the pockets of the pru dent, and to do it in a manner that the most sceptical shall acknowledge “ the power of concentration can no farther go.” No book, which appears in Waldie’s Quarto Library, will be published in the Omnibus, which will be an entirely distinct periodical. Terms. Waldie’s Literary Omnibus, will be issued every Friday morning, printed on pa per of a quality superior to any other weekly sheet, and of the largest size. It will contain, Ist. Books, the newest apd the best that can be procured, equal every week, to a London duodecimo volume, embracing Novels, Travels, Memoirs, &c., and only chargeable with News paper postage. 2d. Literary reviews, tales, sketches, notices of books, and information from “the world of letters,” of every description. 3d. The news of the week, concentrated into a small compass, but in a sufficient amount to embrace a knowledge of the principal events, political and miscellaneous, of Europe and A merica. The price will be TWO DOLLARS to clubs of five subscribers, where the paper is forward ed to one address. The chibs of two individ uals, FIVE DOLLARS ; single mail subscrib ers, THREE DOLLARS. The discount on uncurrent money will be charged t»the remit ter ; the low price and superior paper, absolute ly prohibit paying a discount. HP On no condition will a copy ever be sent, until the payment is received in advance. As the arrangements for the prosecutiorrof this great literary undertaking, are all made, and the proprietor has redeemed all his pledges to a generous public for many years, no fekr of non-lulfilment of the contract can be felt. The Omnibus will be regularly issuqfl, and will contain, in a year, reading matter equal in a mount to two volumes of Rees’ Cyclopedia, for , the small sum mentioned Address (post paid,) ADAM WALDIE, 4f> Carpenter street, Philadelphia. O’ Editors throughout the Union and Cana da, will confer a favor, by giving the above one « or more conspicuous insertions, and accepting i the work for a year as compensation. BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 23,1837. POETRY. [From the Louisville Journal.] TO TIIE EVENING STAR. Hail lovely Star ! Thou glitterest now Through the calm shades ol*even, The brightest orb tfcat ever glowed Within the depths of heaven ; But *i)', bright Star—within thy sphere Does griel jje’er dim the eye ? Do whirlwinds never o’er thee sweep, Nor clouds obscure Within thy realm does blight ne’er fall Upon the opening leaf? Fade not thy flowers like those of earth, As beautiful and brief? Does the dark cypress never wave Within thy high domains ? Hast thou no tombs ? Oh say has death Ne'er wandered o'er thy plains ? Have the bright beirtgs of thy Bphere Ne’er slept in love’s sweet bowers, Then waked to see the serpent coiled Arojind their brightest flowers ? Have all the hopes in childhood nursed Ne’er died with childhood’s years, And left the fount of feeling dry Or filled with blood and tears ? Hast thou ne’er seen the passions dire O’er thy bright realms bear sway ? Has Rapine never stalked abroad, Nor Murder prowled for pfey ? Hast thou ne’er known Revenge and Hate Pant for the feast of blood, Nor seen the lurid clouds of war Brood o’er life’s troubled flood ? Thou speakest not—but thy soft flame Floats down the depths of air . So beautiful, I cannot dream That broken hearts are there ! No—Twill deem thee still a spot Os Joy and Love and Light, Where Sin and Sorrow visit not— Isle of the Blest—Good night! lISCELLA AY. MITCHELL, THE PIRATE. The Boston Courier, of the 27th ult.' in pub lishing the accounts of the late alleged pira cy, introduces the following article from the United Service Journal, an English periodi cal. It is not impossible if the story be not alto gether fictitious that the person generally known as Mitchell the pirate, may be the he ro. Mitchell the Pirate. —“ Well,” I said “lie is certainly a noble-looking fellow, if (hat be the famous Mitchell. I have read the lives of the Buccaneers and most of the modern nov els where pirates are commended into gener ous cut throats ; but remember no hero of them all to compare with the picture of this fine fellow. Bulwer himself could scarcely have imagined a more magnificent villain.” This was about eighteen months since, when I was standing on the wharf, observing the vessels that arrived with a fine breeze, and anchored in succession abreast of the City of Charleston, in South Carolina. A tall and most remarkable person approached tlife spot where I was standing, and where a single sai lor within a few yards was similarly engaged in w atching the vessels that moved about the harbor. The stranger appeared to.be in the prime of life, though somewhat weather-bea ten, and his tall, erect, and singularly com manding person, with an inquiring eye, ren dered him an object of instant attention. He was in the dress of a seafairing person, with a round jacket, the buttons of which displayed an anchor, and his flowing white trowsers and large Havana hat induced me to suppose that he was a naval officer. He approached the sailor, and I overheard the following dialogue. “Do you want a ship, my friend ?” “I don’t know ; where is she bound ?” “Oh ! never mind where she is bound. I want six good men ; and Fll give an advance of fifty dollars, and fifty dollars a month. “She carries, guns, I suppose ?” “Why, the guns are amongst the ballast till she gets outside—you understand ?” “Yes ; but I think I have seen you before. What’s your name, if it’s a fair question ?” “Mitchell is my name.” “Did you ever sail out of Baltimore ?” “Yes, I commanded a Colombian privateer opt of Baltimore.” “So I thought, I know you Mr. Mitchell; — you are a pirate. I got a ball through this left arm out of your schr., when we drove you off the James Taylor, Indiaman. You stood off and on at the meuth of the Chesapeake, wait-, ing for her, and I was one ot the forty men that the owners sent down in a pilot boat, to see her out of soundings. You had to up stick and run, you know.” “Ob'! I see you are a fool.” * “Ah ! you want six good men,do you. Clear out, you b y villain.” Thereupon the tall stranger did sidle off, and disappeared round the bow of a vessel close by. I then advanced to the sailor, and learned from him that this was the renowned Mitchell, who for years had carried terror to the remo test corner of the Gulf of Mexico. “He is in low water now,” said the tar, “he has noth ing left but a little fine foggery, and I expect he is trying to knock up another gang. He came over passenger in that sloop yonder from Nassau, New Providence, and I’ll bet you my soul he wants to run away with her ; but I I’ll go and give them a hint” I afterwards ascertained.that Mitchell was a native of Belfast, of most respectable parent age yrbut of the intervening periods of his life, until his career of piracy commenced, I could learn nothing. He appears to have carried on his piratical operations in the Gulf of Mexico, and passed through a variety of strange ad ventures, through all of which he is said to have preserved high notions of honor, and a gentlemanly manner of committing the most attrocious robberies. He was, indeed, the Rob in Hood, of the Gulf of Mexico. For a long period he was encamped on a rocky point of land, at the norwestern extremity of the Island of Cuba, commanding a gang of eighteen men, amongst whom, though assisted onjy by a sin gle lieutenant of a character for determination similar to his own, he is said to have maintain ed the most slavish submission to his will. He usually sallied out of his rocky hiding place in a sixteen oared boat, by the superior man agement of which, in calm weather he could approach under the quarter of a vessel without danger from a single gun. Upon one occasion, Mitchell had received information that a cer tain vessel was loading in the harbor of Kings ton, in Jamaica, for an English port; a sea man, who had come over to Cuba, declaring that he had seen the sum of ten thousand dol lars in boxes stowed away in the bread room. Knowing the time at which the brig would sail from Kingston, and consequently, when she would round the norwestern extremity of Cu ba, a strict watch was kept for her appearance, and accordingly, upon a calm evening, a little after sunset, a vessel with her marks was seen gliding along her course, about five miles from land. The sixteen oared boat was soon cut ting through the sea, filled with twenty well armed men and a small swivel in the bow. The brig was rapidly neared,and Michell hail ed her as follows : “Holloa ! brig , ahoy ; how do you do, Capt. ?” “Very well, sir: I am obliged ; but I have not the pleasure of knowing you, though you i are quite correct in my name.” “I am Mr. Mitchell. Lower your boat Cap tain, and I’ll come on board and take a glass wine of with you.” The boat was accordingly lowered, for the captain of the vessel now perceived that to fall in with tlie humor of his visitor was the only chance of escape from a band of twenty well armed pirates. Mitchell was according ly conveyed above to the brig, and entered in to easy conversation with the captain. “Well, Captain, what sort of a passage have you had from Kingston ?' “Oh, a tolerable passage. How have you been lately', Mr. Mitchell ?” “Very, well, indeed ; but we are rather short of money now about Cuba.” “Ah ! every body is short of that ; times never were so bad, really.” “Well, I mustjust borrow those ten thou sand dollars you have on board, Captain.” “My ffear sir, I have not ten thousand far things in the whole brig.” “Oh yes ! now you have ; they are in five boxes marked J. J. stowed away in the bread room. Bear a hand and let us heave it up, because ft is growing dark, and my men will be up the brig’s side to look for it, if you don’t save them the trouble. Upon this the boxes were speedily produ ced, and lowered into the boat; Mitchell say ing that he would walk into the cabin, and give the captain a receipt for the money which he was so very kind as to lend him. He declar-' ed that he had a very great respect for the captain, and would be very sorry that any in convenience should befall him with his owners for lending the money to a friend, and, there fore to clear him from blame, he wrote the fol lowing receipt “Off Cuba, , 18—. “Received of Capt ,of the brig , the sum of ten thousand dollars, marked J. J., j which I have not time to count, but do not doubt that it will prove correct” * “J. MITCHELL.” He then, as if really coneerned for the cap tain drew out a purse of one hundred guineas, which he offered to him, saying that would be some recompence if he should lose his herth by his adventure ; this the captain refused as a favor to himself, but would be glad to reserve the money for his owners. Mitchell, however said he had no respect for owners, who were always insured above the ‘mark ; “but this watch,” producing a most splendid one, “will J “HEAR ME FOR MY CAUSE.” perhaps suit you better than the money, Cap tain ?” The Captain however,, would accept neither money nor watch, unless to be given up to his owners. Mitchell then shook hands with him; wishing the brig a pleasant passage, and stepping into the .boat with tlvp ten thou sand dollars, was conveyed to his own party, who we,re waiting at a little distance ; and af ter a gentlemanly gratuity to the sailors of the brig who rowed him, the sixteen oared boat disappeared towards the shore, and the brig proceeded on her way. Mitchell remained at his encampment upon the Island of Cuba till he had obtained, in .ad ventures similar to the above proceeding, mon ey sufficient to load his sixteen oared boat to the water’s edge, and then determined to leave off hi 9 piratical career, and pass into the Uni ted States; he now thought liowever. that a boat load of money, though a good fortune for himself and his lieutenant, would make a small figure when divided amongst the entire gang of twenty men.. The Lieutenant was of the same opinion, and thought that on a calm day, Capt. Mitchell and himself might easily carry the sixteen oared boat and the boxes of mon ey to the Florida shore,witlKiut any assistance from the gang ; and, moreover, it would bo quite as well to cut off pursuit,leasf these fel lows, when disappointed of their share of the booty, should revenge themselves by turning evidence against them ; “but on the other hand dead men,” said the lieutenant, “tell no tales.” The two officers then determined upon des troying the whole gang, and by ordering them in various detatched parties for pretended purposes of bringing wood, water, ami other supplies to the camp, Mitchell ami the lieuten ant actually left them to perish, and reached the .coast of Florida, whence they coasted along to the Mississippi river, for the purpose of as cending to the city of New Orleans. Here, however, their golden dreams were suddenly dashed to pieces ; for the strange appearance of a sixteen oared boat loaded with boxes, and navigated by only two hands, attracted obser vation from the banks of the river, and when Mitchell and the lieutenant landed for sup plies at a village a few miles below New Or leans, the boat was suddenly filled with a body of pdliee, and the worthies were glad to leave their ill-gotten treasure, and escape into the neighboring woods. Mitchell was now penny less again, and lurked for some time in the ci ty of N. Orleans, narrowly watched by the po lice, for his remarkable person rendered it dif ficult to conceal himself; but by being’secrct ed by a woman with whom he was connected, the exertions of the police to discover him were long unavailing. Upon one occasion in formation Was received that Mitchell was in the hut of a brown woman in the environs of the city, to which the police forthwith repair ed,but not being covetous of an encounter with a man of his prowess they determined upon discharging a volly of musketry into the house. Mitchell received a ball through his arm from this discharge, but before another volley could be sent in he sprang out of the window and es caped into the bush. ‘He next made his appearance at the town of Mobile, at which place he supported himself} some time by working in a sajl-loft, a busi ness at which, though not probably bred to it he was said to be expert, and soon opened a3 a sail maker on his own account, marrying a young woman with money ; and for two years he carried on a flourishing business in this line at Mobile. After that time, however, it became pretty generally known whom the sail maker was, and the merchants at Mobile not knowing how secure their vessels might be against the machinations ‘of such a man, or what associates might secretly be around him determined upon withdrawing their support from him as a sail-maker, and in various other ways to induce him to depart from the place. He was accordingly banished in this manner from Mobile and passed over to the Bahama Islands, whence he had come over to Charles ton in the sloop which the sailor had pointed out What his intentions there were, appear ed very plainly from his conversation on the wharf; but having occasion to leave Charles ton on the following day, I never heard farther of his adventures. Expressing afterwards much surprise at the public appearance of this well known piratical adventurer, I was in formed that the extreme difficulty of procur ing satisfactory evidences rendered prosecu tion for piracy almost always unavailing, and that the passing of the Island of Cuba into the power of a great maratine nation, is tfie only effectual method of suppressing the desperadoes of the Gulf of Mexico. H. F. There is elasticity in the human mind, capable of bearing much, but which will not show itself until a certain weight'of affliction be put upon it; its powers may be compared to those vehicles whose springs are so contrived that they get on smoothly enough when loaded, but jolt confoundedly when they have nothing to bear. ” 51 "From the New York Evening Star.*' Visit to tup, Exploring Squadron. We visited orw&aturday the gallant little fleet, ifrwhich the country takes, at this moment, on the eve of their departure so lively a pride and deep an interest. We embarked at Castle Garden in a ten oar ed barge, commanded by a sprightly young middy,-scarcely younger, however, than the hale and hearty looking youths who comprised the crew. The air was bracing and pure, with a clear blue sky ; the white caps flung their spray upon us, and somewhat moistened our black civ ilian dresses, spite of the tars ‘rowing dry,’ as the nautinal expression is. But we did not mind the sprinkling, for it was a heavenly day, and the distant our superb bay, tiugedjn the golden ar.d carmine livery of an American autumn, never presented a scene more gorgeous and picturesque. And there too cleaving gaily through the foaming blue waters in evofy direction were the craft of steam and canvass of every description that al ways forms so cheering and delightful a panonu.ua on our magnificient harbor. Three of the squadron only arc now ly ing off the Battery, the Macedonian hav ing hauled round to the Navy Yard. The first we came to was the substantial storo ship called ‘The Relief,’ and as we moun ted up her bulwarks and landed on -her polished quarter-deck, where we were po litely received by the officer of the day, we could not help being struck with the neatness, discipline, comfort and security, which she presented, and which looked, in truth, as if she was most rightly named, and every way calculated to furnish to the hardy crew, when in their most peri lous excursions, all the good tilings of this earth which they may chance to stand in need off. An admirable hospiuk and store ship she is calculated to make, and a most esseiftial and indispensable accom paniment is she to the 6quardron. For when men like our brave seamen, stand ready to do all that men dare do, they should at least have at hand every solace which can be procured for them on the spot to reward them w ith a snug berth, good nutriment and raiment, and nursing, where the toils they must necessarily be exposed to, may make those comforts de sirable. This vessel, too, though her mo del is more for strength and frieglit, and accommodation than for speed, in a good breeze is no mean sailor, and showed her powers in this respect, we learn, ’most ad vantageously, in cdniing round from Nor folk. From the Relief we soon, rede scendeiPinto our barge again, and proceed ed to the Pioneer hard by, one of the stout litle brigs which, with her compan ion the Consort close to her, and the very sac simile of her, are to be the van guard, to do all the most heavy and dangerous duties in battling the icebergs and sea monsters, animate and inanimate, that may obstruct their path in the discovery of the great problems left for American courage to solve in the dreary regions of the Po lar Seas. When we looked at the fine models of these craft, and their neat rig, and then examined their interior construction, we could not have believed that so much grace of exterior could, by the art of man, have been combined with so much solidi-! ty and strength. At the water line on the bows, they form in thickness a wood en bulwark of sf?ven feet massive beams and intervening layers of plank, all close ly seamed and clamped and braced to gether ; strengthened still more by staunch eons that pass throughout the sides of the vessel to the kelson, to prevent com pression, if, haplessly, as they must ex pect to be, they are occasionally wedged in between swift-moving masses of float ing fields of ice. Even if tbe outward plankings are torn up and shattered, there remains heavy wooden walls yet impene trable to water and impregnable to re newed attacks. Every one of the company was delighted with the whole arrangement of these vessels, and the perfect adaption of their form, struc ture and equipment to the purposes for which they are to be employed. Much conversation also naturally passed on the means of protection against intense cold and floating ice, the value of furs, of the portable soups and white wine used by Parry, &.c., and a variety of other matters. Lieut. Claiborne, the officer of the day, politely explained every portion of the vessel, as had also the Lieut. Pinkney, of the Relief, and on reaching the Consort we were treated with the same marked civility by Capt. Glynn, her worthy com mander. At the Navy Yard, which we soon pul led round to with our spirited oarsmen, we passed the dapper little brig Active, the last and fifth vessel, least in size, but not by her rakish look destined, we think, to be the least efficient of the gallant flo tilla. We now reached the noble frigate Macedonian, the flag ship of Commodore Jones, commander in chief of the squad ron. —This ship is built entirely anew and of the strongest construction, and with scarcely a timber remaining of-tha. i. W. F«p*T, KUITOH. NUMBER less elegant British vessel whose name she bears. We were by the Commodore and his first Lieutenant, Mr. • every part of the frigate, and must for .want of space, be. excused from entering into all the admirable de tails,of her arrangements for tbe' scien tific corps, officers and crevfy by remark ing in general, terms, tlret every thing to the utmost minuteness is perfect Cud complete. To the naval department •and to Com. Jones more especially is due the consummation of details embodied in this frigate, focarry out with entire, as we hope, triumphant sucoes, the noUd task of exploring the unknown and resources of the vast Pacific, yjjwn other nations for centuries have, it istrue, made imperfect examinations and brought much valuable'matter to light, but neve/* we believe, have uudertaken-the investi gation on so perfect and extended a plan as that which is now about to set out from our shores. *. Respf.ctaihi.ity op mechanics. The following sentiments, from a high literary source, are deserving a place in the Bos ton Mechanic. They are said to be from a new wmrk df the Misses Sedgwick, ded icated to farmers ansf mechanics : ‘lt is certainly a false notion in' a denj# ocratic republican, that a lawyer has ariy higher claim to respectability— geatSkt, if you please, than a tanner, a‘ goldsmith, a painter or a builder. It is the fattflElbf the mechanic, if he takes the place' $» signed to him by the government and in stitutions of his country. He is of the lower orders, only when he is self-degra ded by the ignorance and coarse manners which are associated with manual labors, in countries where society is divided into castes, and have therefore come to be considered inseparable from it. Rely upon it, it is not so. The old barriers are down. _ Time has come when, ‘being mechanics,’ we appear on ‘laboring .days’ as well as holidays, without the ‘sign of our profession.’ Talent and wprth are the only eternal grounds of distinction. To these the Almighty has affixed his ev erlasting patent of nobility, and these it is which make the bright, ‘the immortal names’ to which our children may aspire as well as others. But we must secure, by our own efforts, the elevations that are accessible to all. The Salique Law. The number of female sovereigns upon the thrones df Europe at this day, occasions a good deal of speculation as to the origia and wis dom of the law which so rigorouajy ex cludes them in some countries; now ve ry little is known with any certainty of tins same Saliqvc law. It is said to have' came from the Franks : but.it is written 1 in Latin, and it is a certain fact that the ! Franks could neither speak nor write tin. The law in its present shape written in the time of Charlemagne; but even at that time it passed as a law of the highest antiquity, and the pream ble of tliis law mentions the anterior collec tions of Theodoric, Childepert, and Dag-- opert. It was addressed to the people subjected to the empire of the Merovin gians ; and those who ascribe its origin’ tlie ancient Alatnans and Bavariens know really but little about tbe matter. As to its propriety and wisdom, as one half of Europe approves while the other rejects, it leaves the question unsettled. [Frankfort paper. Conscience in the Morning Hour. In Bulwer’s last novel, Ernest Daltra vers, is the' following passage “We afe apt to connect the voice of conscience with the stillness of midnight. Bui I think we wrong that innocent hour. . It is that terrible ‘next morning,’ when rea son is wide awake, upon which fastens its fangs. Has a man gambled ia way his all, or shot his friend iu a duel— has he committed a crime, or incurrej a laugh—it is the next morning , wheoxliew irretrievable past rises before him like a® spective—then doth the churchyard of memory yield up its grisly dead ; then ia the witching hour when the foul fiend within us can least tempi perhaps, but most torment.
