CHARLESTON MAIL.
We arc gratified to leirit, thiit a contract has
liecn made by the Post-Office department with 1
the S. Carolina Rail Rodd Company, for the car
riage of the Charleston And AugUsta Mail dai
ly, except on Sunday, when the cars do not
(run; and that this arrangement has already gone
into operation. We shall thus lose dne mail each
Vireek ; but the inconvenience of thiit, will be far
Wtore than counterbalanced by the advantages of
getting each of the other six mails in twelve hours,
instead of thirty-six. The Company, however,
resCririe the privilege of carrying it only three times
a week during some two or three months of the
dull summer season, if they shall again find itjto
their interest, As heretofore, not to run the cars
more frequently at such period ; but we presume
this, also, will be but a slight inconvenience com
pared with the advantages of its rapid transmis
sion during the business season. Ils increased
safety, too, over being carried by a single persori
in a wagon, through the solitary swamps of the
low country, is a very greitt advantage.
The Charleston Courier, After expressing ils
approbation of this arrangement, sdys: “ Shoilld
the Rail Road Company start the locomotive an
hour later than at present, say 7 A. M., the mail
'could be closed a 6 or half past 7, and thus enable
every one to take advantage of the mail; whereas,
should the hour off) P. M. be continued for clos
ing the mail, and it then lay by until 6 the next
morning, it would afford the opportunity of for
warding letters in advance, as has been the case
for years past, to the manifest disadvantage of the
great body of the people, as well as deducting a very
considerable amount from the revenue of the Post
Office. We confidently expect that the Depart
ment and the Company will not overlook this im
portant consideration.”
We hope that the suggestion of the Courier will
lie adopted; here also, as well as in Charleston;
hut if not, it would he better for the mail to close
there, as here, at BP. M. instead of 6; or even at
9, which would be still better.
Tins arrangomenlwith the liflil Ko;td Company
has been made in consequence of the failure of the
contractor to comply with his engagement. The
contract with him, was made, we believe, at the
Very low rate of $5,000, while the Company are to
have $10,000; hut the increased facilities offered
by the Rail Road will more than compensate for
the increased expense.
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
The following notice of this valuable new work,
by Maj. Noah, of the New York Evening Star,
is highly generous and liberal, and no less credit
able to the work itself, than to flic able and en
lightened writer. The South has no more gener
ous and zealous friend without its borders than
Maj. Noah ; and we trust none more endeared to
It, as there is certainly none more entitled to its
patronage. The New York Evening Star is un
questionably not only one of the most liberal and
impartial Northern papers, but one of the very j
ablest and most Interesting:
The Southern Literacy Messenger.-—[Month
ly''Though long delay'd, from a press of other I
engagements, we greet with a cordial welcome I
this now periodical, lately commenced at Rich- J
mond, Virginia. .h “ ilhcdcd no ghost frdm the j
grave,” oir if il did, this publication would eon- 1
vince its, that oiir southern brethren are riot less I
gifted with a fine literary taste than wilh the
higher faculties of oratory and bold original
thought, for which they have ever stood pre-emi
inont. The present work, th'fiugh fugitive in its 1
character, is a brilliant and proud testimonial of
the buried riches of mind which, like their uncx
plori’d mines of gold, lie dormant and hidden from
public observation, because there has been no in
centive, or market, or outlet to draw them forth,
and give theiti publicity. But Mr. White, the
proprietor of' this periodical, lias, wo think, sunk
a shaft into the intellectual wealth of the “ an
cient ddmirtidri,” winch will be the meads of ex
tracting find preserving the gems and pearls that
arc embaweiled there, and which only need to be
strung together, as he has judiciously done them,
to be uiiiversdlly admired, and to yield him a rich
harvest both of fariie, and, we hope, of peedniary
profit,for so lauddble an undertaking. The mate
rials & sources which he lias atedrnmand from his
literary, scientific and poetic contributors arc abun
dant, and of the choicest quality ; Add the tact he
has displayed in their arrangement anil selection
indicate a sound taste and eminent qualifications
for the task he bus entered upon.. \Vc of the
'north may boast of more colleges and universities
than the south, and a more general diffusion of
education among the mass of the population—
'more philosophy too, and perhaps more cold, al>-
slrfec science; but ean we compare With they of
that genial climate of the stm in the pure inspira
tion of poetry, if passion, of love, —“ the thoughts
that breathe, the words that burn I”—the soul of
pathos, of scnjlfticnt, of chivalry,—the thunders
sublime eloquence ! We believe not, and
we tu'.’O even this unpretending periodical as de
monstratiVm conclusive that in them dwells, whe
ther with or ,without iricntkl cuftdre, the divine
empyrean, the ur. dying fires lit We genius. It
were invidious to particularise diflTcfont essays;
but we cannot forego nan’'ing in the third nutdher,
one of masterly power, of m ust felicitous add ori
ginal diction, and of intense am? thrilling interest,
entitled “My Classmates.” No .American pen
that has dipped in tire fictions of the drama
can, as we think, he found to have surpassed this
beautiful story. There is another, called “ Cu
pid’s Sport,” in Sterne’s happiest manner. The
“ Cyclopean Towers” is also a beautiful little
gent. The fair ladies of Virginia have added too,
with their plumes, some elegant stanzas. Care
should he taken in this department, for our coun
try is overrun with the rhymifig mania, hut little
of the fruits of which litis a higher merit than that
of the glittering versification and maWkish Affec
tation of the della cn’/icaH school. As to foreign
matter and subjects, they sliohld be avoided gs
hackneyed, especially where there is so much
more solid and purer a capital to work with at
home.
THEATRICAL-
Tlle Augusta Theatre was opened on Monday
evening by Messrs. Haht & Hahiit ; and our old
favorite, the distifiguished tragedian, Mr. Coopeb,
and his interesting and accomplished daughter,
made their appcdrHnce as Duke .drama and
Juliana, in the comedy of the Honey Moon —a
piece abounding in fine language and sentiment,
and striking scenes, mingled with much that is
unnatural, strained, and preposterous. The au
dience was respectable, but nol large, owing partly
to the occurrence of large fashionable parlies, on
the same evening; and partly to tile Circus!
shame on it ! evincive bs it is of a most deprived
and vitiated taste. But, by the bye, the Theatre
is getting to be as low in its character and amuse
ments as the Circus—borrowing from it, as it docs,
its course jests and scenes and negro songs—as
though, despairing of being able to raise the pub
lic taste to its own proper level, it consented to sink
to its. This is a fatal error, since it not only
drives dway the more respectable, by whoso pa
tronage alone it can advantageously subsist, and
appeals to that which it must share with the
Circus, and with many odds against a fair com
petitition with it; hilt justifies those assaults of
bigotry and fanaticism which alarm away the
timid and dependent. How shameful and ir
rational it is, though, that the sectarian religious
should tolerate the Circus, atiii not the Theatre! .
Is it that they consider the coarse, vulgar, and |
merely sensual gratifications of the Circtis, and an
association with Horses and stable-boys, more mo
ral and religious, Ilian the cultivated, intellectu
al beauties, and instructive lessons of the drarna i
that “ hold, as ’twere, the mirror up to riature;” or
that the harsh, unnatural, and repelling dogmas of
bigotry dnd fanaticistti fear the mist-dispelling ra
diarice of that enlightcricd wisdom arid compre
hensive iriorality of the drama, which appeal at
once to the head and heart, and teach Us to “ look
through nature up to nature’s Godl” Woof
course Speak of the Drama as it should be;
and as it wotlld be, but for that intolerant opposi
tion which cuts il off from the countenance of the
more orderly, religions, and respcctalfib, and throws
it, for support, on thrisc whose improprieties the
presence of such persoris would restrain—there, as
it docs elsewhere.
We were greatly pleased with the performance
of Mr. and Miss Coopeb, which was really a rich
I and beautiful intellectual and moral treat. Mr.
C. may have lost perhaps something of the e
’ nergy, fire, and animation of youth—we will
* concede this, at least, since carping critics,
with a vitiated longing after rantings and roar
ings, arid foreign novelties, will have it so, and we
consider it of little moment—bht there is still the
1 same grace, dignity, and majesty, chastened by
age and experience, and the same intellectual and
6 moral beauty. Miss Cooper’s Juliana was a
’ fine personation of that arduous character—not
equal, certainly, to some we have seen, but yet
r highly interesting, and in some parts, strikingly
so—mostly, perhaps, in the mare mild and tender
Scenes. The manner in which she Softened from An
,, ger into affection & contrition, & returned & kissed
*, the Duke, under the influence of bis address, while
. instructing her to dress for the rural party —ad-
dressed her father, at the close of the last cottage
.. scene—and met and spoke to her husband, as
„ the Duke, in the last scene—was touchingly
0 beautiful. In silent, pathetic, artless simplicity and
g tenderness of manner, she is evidently most at
i- home; and we therefore look forward with much
d interest to her performance of the gentle Detde-
i mona and Virginia. Her performance is certain*
; ly very striking, for one so young in years and
her profession, arid gives the most flattering as
] snranee of future cx'cHlence mid distinction in the
I latter. She possesses a fine person, and sweet,
i interesting countenance, the expression of which,
however, appeared much restrained hy natural
timidity—an amiable and excellent trait in one so
young, and which, as it wears off, will afford a ful
ler, freeer scope to her fine natural powers and
many striking accomplishments.
Miss Clahke, as Zamora, was very interest
ing, and made a flattering impression. Mr. Habt’s
Moch Duke was very comic and amusing, albeit
rather overdone.
The best we ran say of the ll’ool Dealer is,
that it was a matter of “ great cry and little wool;’
and as this was its first appearance here, we sin
cerely hope it may lie the last.
YVhen Mr. Bailee sings Zip Coon again, we
trust it will lie at the Circus. Disgraceful as negro
songs arc to any Theatre; they are peculiarly in
appropriate to a Southern one; and we trust the
manager will discard them altogether.
JAC«SON*i CONSISTENCY.
The Constitutionalist, in justly censuring the
vile practice and principle of appointing members of
Congress to office, arid mentioning Judge Cobb’s
efforts to restrict it, says, with a gravity & seeming
siricerity, truly ludicrous, “But he never could suc
ceed. Nor can President Jackson succeed in induc
ing Congress to take the same subject under consi
deration, thohgb it has made a topic of his Mes
sages, since his election to the Presidency.”—Ha,
ha, ha ! Now, dd'es the Constitutionalist really
believe the Presided! sincere, in that matter, and
that he really wishes his recommendation a
dopted 1 As well might it suppose a gambler
sincere, in advocating the suppression of gam
bling, over the Faro table, or a grog-dealer or
drunkard sincere, in advocating temperance bc
hihd the counter iff his griig-shop, or with a
tumbler of whiskey in his hand!—Why, has
not he continually advocated every thing good,
and practiced every thing that is evil I
Did he not preach the great danger of “ irres
ponsible power,” and take all the power of the
government and its “ responsibility;” to himself!
Does he not oppose one Bank, as unconstitu
tional and 1 nexpedient, arid take up many others
more certainly unconstitutional, fully ns inexpe
dient, and a hundred fold less safe or responsi
ble! ,
Dhl lie not recommend the -ostriction of the
Presidency to rtrte term; unnecessarily run for a
second; and, willi his vyhole party, sol down Mr.
M'Duffic as an enemy, because he introduced Re
solutions into Cengress in accordance with his
professed wishes !—lf hc i really felt as he profess
ed to do, would ho not Have declined a second
canvass, and set that example in favor one term t
which General Washington set in favor of two ?
And if the first Washington gave a virtuous and
noble example even more authority than that of
law, why might not the *• second Washington’
have anticipated a similar result! If the former
example was far more honorable and distinguish
ing than a mere precept, why would not a second
bne have been so, too !
Did he not censure strongly the interference of
public dffiecrs in elections! And have not
“ his" public officers iutcrlered more in them than
all that Have preceded ttScm put together; and
evidently with his concurrence and approbation!
Did he not rcromrilcrid “ Reform and intro
duce more and greater abuses thtiri all he found,
or that have been known before 1
Did ho not pledge his administration to “ Re
trenchment and Economy” !—and have not the
expenses es bis administration boon immensely
greater than those of ariy precedirig one !
Did he not, as the CoristitutioHalist says, urge
the corrupting and dangerous Influence and ten
dcncy of appointing members of Congress to of
fice, and again and again recommend the adop
| tion of some restriction upon it! and yet has
I he not appointed infinitely more members of Con
gress to office than all his predecessors together!
Has lie not —but where is the use of continu
ing the sickening detail ! Is not this enough to
show the virtue and sincerity of a Jackson pro
fession! and is it not worse than mockery to
quote his professions! It is true, us the Constitu
tionlilist says, that if an amendment iff the
Constitution, to prevent the appointment of
■ members of Congress to office, “ were adopted,
it would blast the prospects of seven-eighths of
f them, of being fchosento fill the offices of Govern
> ment;” and “the principal inducement they had,
' in courting the suffrages of the people, would be
! taken from them, &c.; and it is not to bo cxpect
-1 ted, therefore, and doubtless was not, by General
: Jackson, that they would second his recommend.
* ation, and approve such An amendment-
Will the Constitutionalist, publish this Arti
‘ clc, and say, in the face of it, that it believes Gen.
' Jackson sincere, in recommeridifig such oil a
■ meridment!
We shall piiblish the entire article of the Coristi
* tutionalist, hereafter, as it is a continuation of the
> subject of the onewc lately published with warm
" approval, and with the exception of the passage

11 “NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR.
. I The following article on this subject from the
Augusta Chronicle (which we give entire monlet
that our own remarks may hot be misunderstood,)
, s-cins to us to have been penned under a misap
, prehension of what webad slated in regard to out
I own views, and the communication referred to,
Wc intended to say that inasmuch, as it was tin
’ derstood that u convention was about to assemble,
■ a short time previous to its reception, tlje const!-
ijhcnt impossibility of eliciting any thing liken go
iter.nl expression of opinion from the presses in the
different quarters of the State, operated to ils ex
clusion. After it became known that a Conven
i tioii tvohld not lie assembled until some liiiic sub
; sequent to tbe session of the Legislature, we weie
about giving it h place in our dolmans, when the
sariie nomination appearing in the Recorder, r-n
--1 dored it unnecessary. There is now ample time
to plAec before the people the suggestions of such
individual* as may choose to otter thenl; and the
views of the Chronicle arc, in the main correct. Il
it is in the power of the press to afford any light.
; to that body when it shall assemble, doubtless it
i should do so. Now it obviously is not an “un
, suitable time” for such a course for the reason that
lire contemplated session of the Convention may
not take place till April, certainly not earlier; and
there is ample time to give such an impoitan sub
ject the grave reflection and consideration, which
its merits.
Coinciding as we in general do with the Chroni
cle on such questions of Federal jjelicy as have
been subjects of public discussion, wc are gratified
to perceive that on this iribasure of domestic poli
cy the only difference ariAHs from misapprehnii
sion. A convention for the purpose of nominating
candidates, wc know to be a favorite project with
the Chronicle ami well as with ourself; divested
as it is of the midnight plotting and caucus in
trigneing against which we have to contend. Wc
would observe, in passing, that the Chronicle
seemed to understand our remarks ns indicating
a censure, such however was not our intention.”

GERMANY.
Ip the sitting of the German, Diet of the
fiOti) ofOctober, Count Von Munch Del
linghausenj the President, delivered a
speech,™! introducing the measures adopted
in the Itifd diplomatic conferences at Vien
na for repressing all manifestations of the
spirit of liberty in the German Cionsrlitti
-1 (innal Stales. This object is sought to he
obtained by Iho institution of a Court of
1 Arbitration, Invested with the- power oi’do
, ciding all disputes which may rivise he
-1 tween the Rcprcsenntive Assemblies and
thegovermonts.—What the nature ofjtulg
ments pronounced by arbiters chosen by
one side only will be, it is not diffiglt to
conjecture! This arbitrary measure is an
1. appropriate coin(riniod to die celebrated
rescript adopted hy the Diet on the 2-'th
1 of Juno 1802, iigainst (ho liberty of the
‘ press, which, lidivevcr, instead of attain
ing its professed dbject of establishing or- (
der and tranquility, gave birtli to uu agita- ,
tion in Germany which it seems in the 1
ayes of the Holy Alliance still exists, and
which we believe this new encroachment 1
of despotism will only serve to increase. 1
! English paper.
This project, which is deemed so absorb 1
by the English journalists, is very similar ,
to our Court of Arbitration, if we are to ]
take the exposition of the Constitution as 1
given bv the Cdhsolidntionists, (is Iho (rue 1
. one, The Diet, composed of members I
’ nominated by the Kings and Princes, are 1
to appoint the court which is to decide
, upon the disputes between the said Kings I
j and their Legislative Assemblies! Wbuta ■
. fafen! And We would ask, is it any less so, |
when contotided that the Federal Govern- ■
' incut is to have the appointment of the court 1
• wiiich is to decide upon M claim to power? 1
As we know perfectly well before hand what 1
' will be the' decision oftllo German Court, 1
so wc know what will he the decisf.n o(
the’other court. It is very likely that in
small matters, courts may now ami then
, give unbiassed decisions, but oh great ques
tions it is impossible. And the reason ol
’ Iho impossibility is tins, (hat no one will
. be appointed on either court, whose opini
, ons on the great principle, to be decided, ,
( are not already known. — V: Si Tel.
The late Judge Dooi.vof Georgia, was I
, remarkable for his wit, as well as for blh- 1
er talents. 1
At one place where he attended Court, !
, he was not well pleased with his entertain- j
rhent at the tavern. On (he first day, of I
j the Court, a hog—under the name ol a
I pig—had been cooked whole and laid on .
(he table. No person attacked, it. It was
brought the next day, and the next, and -
’ treated with (he same respect; and it was 1
j on the table on the day on which the conrt j
„ adjourned. As the party finished their
t dinner, Judjre Dooly rose front tbe table [
, and in a solemn manner addressed the 1
I Clerk. “Mr.Clerk,”fsaid he “dismiss that 1
j hog upon his recognizance until the first 1
day of the next Couft; He has attended
so faithfully during tlje present term, thiit
I don’t think it will b’e necessary to take
any security.” , 1
At another tavern at which the Judgb ,
’ boarded,there was much complaint, among
” the lawyers arid their boarders that the
’, rituals were not prepared in a cleanly
manner. Judge Dam.vtook the landlord
to one side and said he bad si/ftit, 1 thing to
communicate to him that might be of ad
j vantage to his house.’ ‘lt relates, says',
he, “to your table. If you would have
the dirt on one plate and the dictuals on
another, and lei your guests mix it to sui
j themselves, according to Uteir different
tastes, it would he a decided improve
’ ment iri the rifilerlainiricnt.”

Fox, the Quaker. —Penn says, and his life
shows it, that Fox possessed, on nil occasions, the
most lindaunted courage. Though of ah ardent j
temperament, yet he possessed such self com- J
maud as rarely, if ever thrown otfhis guard by ■
insult and outrage, and lie manifested the most for- j
giving disposition. He wns simple, dignified 11ml
manly in behaviour ; grave yet affable and plea-1
sant in conversation, and so ready in reply as to
continually ha'He his most subtle antagonists.
One instance may he given : he was imprisoned
in Launceston goal, and brought up For trial before
Judge Glyn. He was ordered to take off his hat,
Fox inquired whilt authority there was in law or
scripture for this compulsion ; at which the Judge
fell into H passion, and cried, “Take him away
goulor ; I’ll fork him !” >Soon after he sent (or
him again, and ori seeing bird, exclaimed, “CcfiradJ
where had they hats from Moses to Daniel!
Come, answer me—l have yon fast now !” Fox
immediately replied,—“The three children were
ordered to he thrown into the furnace with their
coats: hose, and hats on.” The Judge blatantly
slipujed, “ Take him away, gaoler,”— lV. Ho wilt

He Said that he liked tin l paper, only that they
were too many advertisements in it, und il did not
contain us much reading matter as he would like,
“ Perhaps,” said the oilier, 11 it contains quite ns

to see the countenance of the person addressed, hut
it had vanished. There was u perfect blank when;
