state of Georgia upon the books of the bank, to be

it shall be the duty of the Governor to cancel and

of said bonds be sold or otherwise disposed of

and final eompletion of said road from its eastern
terminus to a point two miles northwest of the

These extracts are from the act to suspend
operations on a part of the state rail road. Fifty

the funds to be procured? The iron could not

cotning to the conclusion that- rtrev rcfarretl to ■

■u ? Act; in spirit ai,id letter shows conclusively the ob
ject of the Legislature to lave been, not to ex
pend afiy more money at that time in the com- ■
pletioh of thei road, unless the State’s borlds
could be used for that object. This islconciu

there should be no misunderstanding theirde
<sign, foatthis sgqtion . instructs the Governor to
-eancel.thp Slate’s bonds,, previously authorised
for the building of theroad, lo an amount equal
to that applied to the payment of the then
existing debts.
Now, what are the facts ? Long subsequent
to the passage of this law, the Governor direct
ed the State’s Engineer, to.negotiate a contract
for Iron to lay down the road, thereby creating
an entire new debt—a debt, in no wise, contem
plated by the Legislature as one of .those, to
the payment of which the: money received by
the State from the general government, was tohe
applied when received; and yet, when the mon
ey from the General Government was received
by the State, his Excellency appropriated it to
the payment of this debt, —and when charged
upon the floor of the House of Representatives,
with appropriating the money without authority
of law, his friends did not deny, and could not de
fend him successfully against the charge. Nev
ertheless, his learned friend, the profound legal
gentleman of the Constitutionalist, attempts a
justification, and cites an authority, which posi
tively directs the money received to be applied
to the payment of the "public debts." What
were then the "public debit ?” Were they debts
already in existence, or were they contracts in
prospectu only,—and which were negotiated
months after the passage of the law? Let the
people answer these plain questions, after an
investigation of the whole transaction, and they
•an then readily determine whether, in the lan
guage of Mr. Toombs, the “ Governor has rob
bed" the public treasury.
We might pursue this subject further, and
admitting, for the sake of argument, that the
Wavemor had autuurnj ... w" ■
lijn of the public money, ask what probable
g*od can result to the State from a Rail Road,
•Inch lias no connexion with any commercial
joint? —which, in fact, starts and terminates in
Ok woods, and was likely not to form a connex
ion with any other Road for years. What ob
ject could influence any man, having a due re
gard for the interests of the State over which he
Was called to preside, in making such an ex
penditure of the public funds ? And we might
jo on and propound various other questions in
•toanexioa with this fraud upon the State, but
we forbear. Let us not be misunderstood; we
are no enemy to the extension of this Road,—
on the contrary, we have always advocated it,
tout we desire to see the tutans of the State hus- I
banded until there is a prospect of some other
Road connecting with it, w.jch would promise
t Mum to the State.

I believe to have been legally and constitution
ally chosen, provided an attempt be made to
close the doors of Congress against their admis
sion.
The act under consideration, judging from
certificates endorsed, was first passed by the Sen
ate, and lastly by the House, and presents the
singular irregularity of having been read twice
in the House in which it was lastj acted upon,
before it was reported to the House in which it
was first passed. The constitution dedares.that
every bill shall be read three seperate days in
each House before it shall become a law. In
the ordinary course qflegislation, a bill is pass
ed through all the ordinary forms of lejislation,
in one House, before it is read in the ether. It
is possible that this objection might be avercome
by an explanation from one or bah of the
Housestot the general Assembly, tut as the
other reason herein assigned require tlat I should
withhold my assent, I return it to he Senate,
where I suppase, from the fact that t was first

As the mutiny on board the Sonere- is excit

States in reference to mutiny on the board our
Naval Ships.

Tylerism.
Redwood Fisher, assistan t Postmaster at New
York, leading’Tyler man in Gotham, and author
Ofa ro Post master General Wick
line, has applied for the benefit of flie Bankrupt
law! Among the list of.his liabilities is the fol
lowing: to
roMordecia M.Noah, editor, ofthe city of New
A ork, on a promissory note drawn bvme, payable
to him or order, dated 10th July, 1842, payable
six months after date, on account of subscription
by me to “The Union Newspaper,’’ #l5O 00
This little item indicates very plainly how No
ah’s Tyler “Union” was got up! Contributions
were-levied upon the office holders; and when, as
we suppose was the case with Fisher, they had
not the money down, they were compelled to give
a note for the amount, payable to the order of SI
M. Noah!
This then is the manner in which Mr. Tyler’s
Government establishes and supports official ga
zettes of the Government! This is the manner in
which the press is subsidised and his own power
sought to be perpetuated! Thank God, there is
yet too much virtue among the people for such a
creature as John Tyler to succeed. Despised a
like by all parties, he will go down to posterity
panoplied with the contempt of all parties, despite
his power, his patronage, or his pensioned presses.
All will notjsave.hini. By the way, if Noah
obtained many such contributions as this from
Redwood Fisher, the “Union” will be in the most
flourishing condition by and bye. His profits will
soon enable him to return to the old clothes trade
In addition to this subscription of Fisher’s, it
is understood that the New York Postoffiee sub
scribed SIOOO to put Noah on his feet again, but if
it was all in promissory notes of equal value, the
speculation will most likely prove unprofitable.—

Fire.
The alarm of fire last night between 10 and 11
o’clock, proceeded from the residence of Mr.
Andrew McLean, on Walker street, next above
the Jail.—The situation of the building was so
remote from the location of any of the engines,
that all hope of saving it was abandoned before
any of them reached the spot, and their energies
were consequently' directed to the igfotection of
the adjacent buildings, which they accomplish
ed most successfully.
The loss to Mr. McLean was trifling we pre
sume, as he saved the most of his furniture.—
The dwelling, we understand, belonged to the
estate of Player, and was not very valuable—
whether insured or not, we could not learn.—
The fire was doubtlessly cemmunicated from
the chimney.
The Somers Mutiny.
By last evening’s mail, we. received a full ac
count of the proceedings of the Court Martial
to .investigate : the affair of ihe Somers, but as
.thedetails are too long ipr. insertion in our pa
per,Veanust endeavor to present a brief sum
mary of the principal facts detailed in the re
port of Captain McKenzie, and the testimony
of James W. ’Wales, Purser’s Stewart, to whom
Spencer communicated his plans and by whom
the muntiny vyas flisetosad.
Captain McK. says on the 11th- November
he sailed from Liberia for the United States via
St. Thomas, where he designed to take in.sup
plies. On the 26th he was informed by Lieut.
Gansevvort, tliat a! conspiracy was on foot to
capture the vessel and make a pirate of her, as-
''ler takfngfiie lives of all on board who would
not serve their purposes, and that Midshipman'
Spencer was the leader, who had communicated
his plane t. purser Wales ihcmgfit previous
' "U’:i.-W 'g, ' S. 1 ,, '•'<O
more,| during winch, Spencer (reunieu oil Id*
plans—stated he had associated with him more
■ than twenty- of the crew, swore Wales to secre
cy, and promised to have another conference
with him on the next day, the 26th, but assured
him, on parting, if he whispered a word of what
he had heard, his life would be the forfeit.—
Wales sought an opportunity to communicate
this astounding-[intelligence immediately after
interview .with. Spencer; but, observing that
Spencer and his associates watched him nar
rowly, he retired to bed, determined to make the
disclosure in the morning. Tn the morning, he
made an effort to see the Captain, but failing,
detailed what had passed between himself and
Spencer to Purser Heiskel, with a request that
he would-communicate the tacts .to the Captain,
which he did through Lieut. Qansevoort. Wales
then sought the interview which Spencer had
promised on separating tluf night before, with a
view to draw from Spencer farther details; but
no opportunity offered, and he was unsuccess
ful; In the afternoon of the 26th November,
Spencer was arrested and put in irons, by order
of the Captain—and on the day after, Cromwell
and Small, two of the prominent conspirators,
were arrested and put ip irons under a vigilant
guard, with instructions to permit no intercourse
with any of the crew—and if any was attempted,
to take the life of the individual instantly. Af
ter the attest, Capt. McK. says, and in this he is
sustained by the testimony of Wales, there was
evident signs among the crew of a disposition to
mutiny, and great and manifest reluctance to
obey orders.
Spencer when arrested, admitted the fact of
having had such a conversation with Wales, as
detailed by him, but said it was all a joke. On
examining his locker, however, a roll of paper
was found in his razor case, which was found
on examination, to contain a detailed account
of his plans written in Greek, giving the names
of those concerned—marking some as faithful
and others as doubtful. In this perilous state
after becoming satisfied of the existence of such
a horrible plot, and not knowing who to trust,
Captain McK. on the 30th November, addressed
a note to the officers under him, asking their ad
vice and counsel in a matter of such extreme
and iie.lir.ate responsibility wherennnn
inediately assembled, (the captain taking charge
of the vessel) and after spending that day and
part of the next in the investigation of the facts,
the examination of witnesses, &c. &c., they
came to the unanimous conclusion that Spen
cer, Small and Cromwell should be executed
immediately to secure the safety of the vessel,
and upon advising the Captain of their deci
sion, he promptly ordered preparations to be
made for their immediate execution, and
then himself announced to them their fate.
They asked for time to prepare, and an hour or
more was granted, during which, of course,
much was said, but as we desire not to harrow
up the feelings of the reader with these heart
rending details, we forbear any farther allusion
to them than to remark, that Spencer and Small
confessed their guilt, and Cromwell died protest
ing his innocence. The vessel arrived at St.
Thomas on the sth December. These facts are
established by the report of Captain McK., and
the testimony of Wells, and at our last dates
from New York., Saturday-, 3 o'clock p, m, the
Court was proceeding with the testimony- of
Lieut. Gansevoort, whose testimony, as far as
received, does not vary from theirs.

A Disastrous Fire in New York.
The most disastrous fire which has visited N.
York for along time occured on Thursday night.
It broke out in the hat and fur store of Messrs.,’
Swift & Nicrfoi.s, at 158 Water street, comer
of Fletcher, which building was totally destroy--
ed, with the contents. These two stores were
owned by Mr. Howe, who was insured. Swift

The Wash iligton Correspondent, of the Union,
the par excellence Tyler paper of New York,
holds the following language touching the rush
for compensation made upon the President, by
tltese disinterested followers:
. “ I am gkid to find that your Tyler cliques in
New York are becoming more orderly and gov
ernable. I thought at one time, front their con
tinued rush to tlie Capitol; that a new party, un
der tlie name ol' “Want tojget.into the Custom
House parly," would carry'a If before them, lor
there was no waht of applfejints for Collectors,
Postmasters,- Marshal -, Navy Agents, District
Attoruies, &c., and if the Applicants themselves
were to be credited, those high functionaries
were but sorry fellows at best. Although none
has succeeded, or is likely to succeed, yet ever
and anon a poor “faint and wayworn traveller”
finds his Way down here with hrs pockets full
of letters of reeonunendation from Ihe malcon
tents, representing you all to be without the ca
pacity’ or tlie inclination to do the least service
to the President, and these denunciations gener
ally end by the complainant’.-; asking for an: of
fice. The Ptesident is like a man who is walk
ing over a straight road, and ever and anon
some kind friend advises him to turn t.> the
right or to the left, or to go up that hill, ordown
that lane, intending to do him the favor, if they
can get him out ofthe straight and honest path
he has chosen, to strip him of his coal, waist
coat, and breeches!!”

Doings in Ohio.
f If we could travel straight to Columbus by
s railroad, we should certainly lie tempted to go
t thither lor a week, merely- to have it to say in
r after years, that we had seen such a body as the
1 present Ohio Legislature. The Hon. John C.
t W right, editor of the Cincinnati Gazette, is now
s at Columbus, and his letters afford amusing
1 glimpses of the proceedings of the beautiful
i band of jacobins who now control the destinies
1 of that state. We quote from his letter of the
, 19th instant: —
I Neil House Calumbus Dec. 19.
Nothing of much consequence has been done
in the Legislature for two or rtireo qam. •—«
L
. same party voted it up again.
The leader, Byington, has introduced a pre
amble and resolutions against the General Post
Office. The preamble asserts that the late con
straction of tiie Post Master General, asto writ
ing on papers sent by mail, “is extremely puer
ile, imbecile, and ridiculous, and at variance
with the spirit and letter of such laws, [post of
fice,] and with the plainest dictates ot common
sense; and whereas a prosecution is now pend
ing against a member of this House for a viola
tion of said law ; and the establishment of such
a principle would be derogatory to the charac
ter of the Government, and only worthy of the
inquisition in its palmiest days,” therefore, re
solved, first, that the President be requested to
dismiss from office, “all officers, at whose in
stance, and by whose agency, such a ridiculous
construction lias been put upon the post office
laws.” Second, that our Kepre-cntatives in
Congress “exert themselves to procure such a
modification of existing laws, as shall extend to
members of the state legislatures the franking
privilege.” Third, that the Governor send a
copy ot these resolutions to the President, the
Ohio members of Congress, and the Governor
of each State, “except Rhode Island!”
What think you of this specimen of Locofoco
decency ? How bad the Post Master General
must feel when he sees this Legislative act of
!he great state of Ohio? How the officers will
scamper when Capt. Tyler receives the resolu
tion! What great privileges will be conferred
upon our big members in the franking way! ;
How bad Gov. King of Little Rhody will feel '
to find Byington disposed! to cut his’ acquain
tance! How certainly will this bravo terrify 1
tli* Court and jury, where the “prosecution is [
now pending against the member,” to let him 1
go acquit; Ap order to send a copy to Gov. s
Dorr is only wanting to make this flourish per- i
feet in its kind. t

vety little ellecl upon his success.

Disappointed Love.—To a:man, the disap
pointment Os love may occasion some bitter
pangs; it wounds some feelings of tenderness; it
may Hast some prospects of felicity—but he is
an active lieing. He can dissipate his thought
in the whir! of varied occupation, or plunge into
the tide of pleasure; or, ifihe-ceneofdisapfioint
ment dc too fujl cf painful associatiops, qe can
shift his abode at w ijl ; arid taking as ft were the
wings of the moi ning.'csn fly to the utjermost
parts ol’the earth, and be at rest. But woman’s
is comparatively a fixed, a secluded, and a med
itative life: she'’is more the companion of her
own thoughts and feeling-; and if they are turn
ed to ministers of sorrow, where shall we look
for consolation ? Her lot is to be wood and won;
anil, ifunhappv in her love, her heart is like
some fortress that ha-, been captured, and aban
doned, gpd left desolate. — Green rille (Tenn )
Kissing in Rusiftv.—This is the national sa
lute—in universal vb*iie from remote antiquity
-’rather a greeting than a cates*—derived equal
ly from irreligious feeling and oriental custom.
Fathers'and sons kiss—old general* with rusty
mustaches, kiss—whole regiments kiss. The
Emperor kisses his officers. On a. reviewing
day there are almost as many kisses as shots
exchanged. If a Lilliputian corps de cadets
have earned the Imperial salute, it is bestowed
upon the head boy, who passes it on, with a
heavy report to his next neighbor, he, in his
turn, to his next, and so on, till it has been di
luted through the whole juvenile body. It the
Emperor reprimand an officer unjustly, the sign,
of restoration to favor as well as the best atone
ment is a kiss. One of the bridges in St. Pe
tersburg is ta rhisday, called the Potzalui Mast,
or Bridge of Kisses, foot of Sighs,) in com
memoration of Peter the Great, who having, in
3 fit of passion, unjustly degraded an officer in
the face of his whole regiment, kissed the poor
fellow, in the same open way, upon the next
public occasion, on this very same bridge.
On a holiday, or four de fete, the young and
delicate mistress of a house will not only kiss
all her maid servants, but all her men servants
too, and, as I have mentioned before, if the gen
tleman venture not above her hand, site will
stoop and kiss his cheek. As for the Russian
father of a family, his affection knows no bounds
if he leaves Ips cabinet d'affaires ten times in the
course of the morning, and enter his lady’s sa
loon above, he kisses all his family when he
enters, and again when he leaves ihe room—
sometimes, indeed, so mechanically, that, for
getting whether he lias done it or not, he goes a
second time round to make all sure. To judge
also from the number of salutes, the matrimo
nial bonds in these high circles must be one of
uninterrupted felicity. A gentleman scarcely
ever enters or leaves the room without kissing
his wife, either on the forehead, cheek, or hand.

A Touching Sketch of Parental Sorrow.
A few months ago, I buried my eldest son, a
fine manlj' boy of eight years of age, who had
never had a day’s illness until that which took
him hence to be here no more. His death oc
curred tinder circumstances peculiarly painful
to me. A younger brother, the next in age to
him, a delicate, sickly child from a baby, had
been down for nearly a fortnight with ;m epi
demic fever. In consequence of the nature of
the disease, I used every precaution that pru
dence suggested to guard the other members of
my family against it. But of this one, my eld
est, 1 had but little fear; he was so rugged, and
so generally healthy. Still, however, 1 kept a
vigilant eye upon him, and especially forbade
his going into the pools and docks near his
school, which he was prone to visit.
One evening 1 came home, wearied with a
long day’s hard labor, and vexed at some little
disappointments, and found that he also had just
come into the house, and that he was wet, and
covered with dock-mud. 1 taxed him with dis
obedience, and scolded him severely—more so
than I had ever done before; and then harshly
ordered him to his bed. He opened his lips for
an exculpatory reply, as I supposed, but i stern
ly checked him; when, with a mute, sorrowful
countenance and a swelling breast,-he turneu
away and went slowly to his chamber. My
heart smote me even at the moment, though I
felt conscious of doing but a lather’s duty.—But
how much keener did I feel the pang when I
was iutonned in the course ofthe evening, by a
Neighbor, that my boy had gone to the dock at
the earnest solicitation of a younger and favor
ite playmate, and by the especial permission of
his schoolmaster, in older to recover a cap be
longing to the former, which had blown over the
wharf. Thus 1 learned that what 1 had. treated
with unwonted severity as a fault, was but the
impulse of a generous nature, which, forgetful
of self, had hazarded perhaps life for another.
It was but the quickm;propting of tliat. manly
spirit which I hait always endeavored to engraft
upon his susceptible mind, and which, j'oungas
he was, had already manifested itself on more
than one occasion.
How bitterly now did I regret my harshness,
and resolved to make amends td his grieved spi
rit in tb-c morning! Alas? that morning never
came to him in iiealth. Before retiring for tlie
night, however, I crept to his low cot, and bent
over him. A tear had stolen down upon his
cheek, and rested there. I kissed it off-, but he
slept so sweetly and so calmly, that 1 did not
venture to disturb him.- The next day he awoke
with a raging fever on his brain, aild in forty*
eight hours was no more! He did not k now me
when I wasfirsl called to his bed-side, nor at anv
moment aileywards. though in silent agony 1
the scene, 1 would have given worlds torraNte
whispered one kind word in his eat, and have
been answered; but it was rrat permitted. Once
indeed, a smile, 1 thought of recognition, lighted
up his eye, and I leaned eagerly forward; but it
passed quickly away, and was succeeded by the
cold unmeaning glare, and the wild tossing of
the fevered limbs, that lasted till death came to
his relief
Every tiling I now see that belonged to him,
reminds me of the lost one. Yesterday I found
some rude pencil sketches which it was his de
light to make tor the amusement of his younger
brother; to-day, in rummaging an old closet, I
came across his hoots, still covered with dock
mud as when he last wore them; and every
morning and evening I pass the ground where
his voice rang the merriest among his play
mates. All these things speal; to me vividly of
his active life; but I cannot, though I often tty,
recall any other express ion of his thee than that
'mute, mournful one with which he tumel from
me on the night I so harshly repulse:: him.
Then ray heart bleeds afresh. (Jh! how care
ful should we all be, that in otir daily conduct
towaid* those little beings sent us by ,i kind
Providence, we are not laying up for ourselves
the sources of many a future bitter tear! HoW
cautious,: ;i ia t neither by inconsiderate word or
look we pnjustly grievetlieirgenerous feelings!
And how guardedly ought .we to weigh eve'ty
action against its motive,: lest in a moment- of
excitement we be led to mete out to the venial
errors of'-the heart the punishment due only to
wilful crime I Alas! perhaps few parents sus
pect’how often the suddefi blow, the fierce re
buke, is answered in their children by the teat's,
not of passion, not of physical or mental pain,
but ofa loving but grieved or outraged nature !

Great Britain.
The accounts of the condition of the people
of Gteat Britain are of the most drestressing
character, and indicate the approach ofa crisis,
the result of which no onecan with certainly pre
dict. A London correspondent of the Boston
Times says:
I have heard it stated on authoritty which I
cannot disttust, that the condition of our com
mercial and financial affairs is occasioning ut
ter perplexity to the government and that the
aPremier has been deceived in hiscalculations
and is baffled by a still decliningrevenue; in short
the new heart to plan and effect good for the suf
fering millions seem to-be writing, ,unl <>:>:'stug:
pool of politics remains undisturbed. No
one seems inclined to come forward to join in
any effort to restore public confidence, to revive
public interest; to heal division, or to promote
measures which at least might remove present
misery, and even avert future disasters.
One of the most melancholly features in the
present condition of the country, however, is
this, —the distress and misery of the classes im
mediately above these of the al
lude to the situation of thousands and tens of
thousands of opce respectable tradesmen, who,
owing to foe stagnation of trade, are swelling
the lists of bankrupts and insolvents. As to the
general distress of the poorer'classes, the case is
truly appalling;—All the highways and by-ways
are actually strewed with sufferers of both sexes
and of all ages, who have not sufficient
clothing to cover them from the wind and weath
er. They live or rather exist, by crawling a
foag the roads, and begging their’bread, though
even in this respect, their success is but small,
for they have already drained the resources of
those who live near the great thoroughfares the}-
pas.-: along, so that people are almost incapable
of supplying their w nts anv longer.
A New Principle in Horticulture.—Mr.
H. M. Bidwell, of this citv has just sent us an
elegant cabbage-head from his garden, illustra
tive of a new principle in that important vegeta
ble, accidentally uiscovered. About the middle
ot June, having some last year’s stumps which
had been set out for salad sprouts, he broke of
3 about 3 or 4 inches long, and stuck theip in th?
ground , They took root readily and grew as thrift
ty as any other plant. Two of the three have pro
duced fine solid heads. The one before us meas
ures two fedt six inches in circumference, with
the open, outside leaves all stripped off. It is
of the drumhead shape. The other head is more
conical, and apparently a different species.
Plants may liras be obtained early, without the
labor and attention required for raising them in
het-beds. Tpc principle i« wqnhy ofinortce.—

Judge Story’s discourse before the Alumtr of
Harvard University on the 23d ult. has beeh ,
published. Its theme is “the dangers, diflit ul
ties, and duties of scholars in our own age and
country.” And in treating it he has exhibited,
fur the warning of his countrymen, the fearful
tendency of the times to ever}' species of ultra
ism, nurturing thereby “a spirit of innovation,
experiment and oscillation, which haves no
resting place for sober meditation or permanent
progress.” He shews that “much which we
deem new in letters is but an ill disguised plun
der from the old repositories; and that much
which we vaunt to be true consists of old falla
cies, often refuted or forgotten, or of unriph the
ories which must perish by the way side.” The
prevailing fondness for light, superficial, and
’fugitive reading is thus treated:
Thia has been gradually upon the increase
ever since the commencement of the century,
and has become not only the fashion, but I may
say, the passion of the day. It has been ibstei
by, and in its turn it has "administered to, our
periodical literature, which, from small Ntgin
nings, has at length accumulated to such a mass
as threatens to overwhelm all the other depart
ments of literature and bury them under its av
alanches. Novels and romances, and other ex
citing' fictions, increase upon us with a fearful
rapidity, and, in conjunction with periodicals,
constitute the staple of nearly all the leading of
the l eading public. They are circulated in pro
digious numbers through the cheap weekly and
penny press. They are found with all the stu
died attractions and ornaments of letter press
and engraving upon the centre tables of the re
fined and wealthy, (.'.led up with a gay and va
ried profusion. ’They line the saloons of our
hotels and boarding houses. They fly on our
railroads, and swim in our steamboats, with a
dazzling and almost dizzy activity. Nota pas
senger ship trusses the Atlantic, which is not
freighted with the wet sheets of the last weekly
or monthly, or quarterly, or the last story of the
James and Blessingtons and Bulwers.
The consequence is, what might naturally lie
expected, that many of our best minds, and es
pecially those who pant for early distinction,
devote ail their thoughts and all their time to la
bors of this son. They are seduced by the ea
ger appetite of the public for novelty, and the
ready returns both of money and reputation, to
abandon more serious and less attractive stu
dies. They turn with indifference or disgust
from topics whieh require profound investiga-
tient of the stop- progress toj iaols eAitoierii-en
and of the long and cold resArchewhich de
sires of the men of other days, who were con
tent to hide their time, and await the aw ard of
posterity. They seek not to build the lofty poe
try, which shall spread to the hearts of a thous
and generations. They come as shadows, and
as such they will assuredly depart. The white
foam of the combing billow dies away at the
moment, when it breaks upon the shore. But
the depths of the ocean remain undisturbed and
noiseless, for they belong to the things ot eter
nity.
We construct all sorts of machineiT for toe
readv diffusion of science, and.the circulation
of philosophy. Our lecture rooms and lyqp
ums are crowded, day after day and night after
night, with those who seek instruction without
labor and demand improvement without effort.
We have abundance of zeal and abundance of
curiosity enlisted in the cause, with little aim
at solid results or practical ends. It seems no
longer necessary, m the view ol many persons,
for students to consume their midnight lamps in
palid and patient researches —or in communing
with the master spirits of other days—or in in
terrogating the history ol the past —-or in work
ing out, with a hesitaiingprogress.the great pro
blems of human life. An attendance upon a
few courses of lectures upon science, or ait, or
literature, amidst brilliant gas lights, or brilliant
experiments, or brilliant discourses of accom
plished rhetoricians, are deemed satisfactory
substitutes for hard personalstudy in all the gen
eral pursuits of liie. Nay, the capital stock
thus acquired may be again retailed out to less
refined audiences, and give ready fame and pro
fit to the second hand adventurer.
Another danger, following close in the train
of that, which I have been considering, is the
feverish ambition for an artificial structure of
style in all classes of composition. We no
longer relish the quiet, easy, and idiomatic tones
of the olden literature. The flowing grace and
simplicity of Addison—the terse yet transpa
rent style of Swift—the natural yet elegant dic
tion of Goldsmith—the playful humor and col
loquial familiarity of Lamb, mixed up with
deep reflections, and occasionally sprinkled with
quaint phraseology—these are no longer in the
possession of the public favor. If they are not
deemed dull, they are passed by with indiffer
ence. They are more often praised than they
are read. They hold, indeed, a certain conven
tional rank; but it is more as a matter of cour
tesy to escape debate, than of sincere love of
what is true or beautiful. We require a more
intense and exciting style-—strong and anima
ted language—sudden and vivid contrasts —ab-
rupt changes, and unexpected turns of thought;
high coloring, and wild, and (it may be,) start
ling figures of speech. And so that the story
tells, and the narrative flies on, or the satire
scqrclies, or the humor is broatlchstin its light-;,
weare quite content tfiat the composition should
new—die quaint or the legendary—the eant
phrases of France mystical combinations
of Germany. Every where we tniss the raci
ness and richness of the Anglo Saxon idiom,
and even the ponderous vigor of the Roman
roots forced into the native soil. To borrow
the language of an eminent critic—“ The great
defect is the want of repose—too much and too
ingenious reflection—too uniform an ardor of
feeling. The understanding- is fatigued; the
heait ceases'to feel.”
Mf.smf.ris.m and St’ROßnv.—The following
extraordinay relation is from the London Corres
pondence of the Journal of Commerce:
A most extraordinary surgical operation has
been performed, the particulars of which will be
found detailed in a couple of columns in the
London Morning Heraldofthe 26th tilt. James
Wombell, 42, a laboring man had suffered for a
period, of about five years with'a painful affec-s
tion of the left knee joint. He wasadmitted in
to the hospital at Welle w, in Noftinglminsiiire,
and it was decided that.amputation should take
place above the knee joint, and it was according
ly done while -the patient under the .influence of
mesmeric sleep! On the Ist of October this
wonderful operation was .thus performed, ns
given in the words of the mesmerizer, one Mr'.
W. Topham, a lawyer-oflhe Middle Temple,
London: “I again mesmerized hire in ibnr min
utes. In a quarter of an hour I told Mr. W.
Squire Wood (the operator) that he might com
mence. I then brought two fingersof each hand
gently in contact with Wombell's closed eyelids,
and there kept them still furl her to deepen the
sleep. Mr. Ward, after one earnest look at the
man, slowly plunged his knife inttrthe centre of
the outer side of the thigh, directly to the bone,
and then made a clear ineixfon round the hone to
the opposite point on the outside of the thigh.
The stillness at this moment was something
awful. The calm respiration of the sleeping
man alone was heard, for all others seemed sus
pended. In making the second incision the posi
tion of the leg was found to be more inconvenient
than it had appeared, and the operator could not
proceed with his former facility. Soon after the
second incision a moaning was heart from the
patient, which continued, at intervals, until the
conclusion. It gave me the idea ofa troubled
dream, for his sleep continued as profound as
ever. The placid look of his countenance
never changed for an instant ; his whole frame
rested, uncontrolled, in perfect stillness and re
pose ; not a muscle or nerve was seen to twitch.
To the end of the operation inaluding the raw
ing of the bone, securing the arteries anil ap
plying the bandages—occupying a period of
upward of twenty minutes—he lay like a statue.
With strong sal volatile and water he gradually
and calmly awoke, and when asked to describe
what he had felt, thus replied: ‘1 never knew any
tbingnTnre.- (arrer lit-being mesmerized,) and
never felt any pain at all; I once felt as if 1
heard a kind of crounching.’ He was asked if
that was pains ul; he replied, ‘No pain at all; I
never had any, and knew nothing till I was
awakened by that strong stuff.’ The ‘crounch
ing’ was the sawing his own thigh bone. The
first dressing was performed in niesmeric sleep,
with similar success and absence of all pain.” ’
This case is so important that I have condens
ed its principal features, and when I consider the
gr avity with which the operation was surround
ed, the numbers whp were present, the unquer- I
tionable rank and respectability ofthe profess- '
ional gentlemen, and the utter absence of all
affectation, I must candidly admit that scepticism ,
is staggered and that we are no longer in a posi
tion to deride orde.--.pise influences so extraordi- ’
nary, important and practical. j. w. o. <
T rue.—Dr. Channing says.—“A peojile that
deems the possession of riches its highest source
of distinction, admits one of the most degrading
of ail influences to preside over its opinions’.
At no time should money be ranked as more
than a means; and he who lives as if the acqui
sition of property were the sole end of his exist
ence, betrays the dominion of the most sordid,
base and grovelling motive that life offers.”
Preservation or H . lth.— .tn ancient
philosopher once said, “If sou find it necessary
to have recourse to medicines, there are three,
which you may make use of with safety, yjz; a
tranquil mind, moderate exercise and temperate
diet.”
The celJiraied French physician, Dumoulin
on his death-bed, when surrounded by the most
distinguished physicians of Paris, who regretted
the loss which the profession would sustain in
his death, said: My friends, I leave behind me
three physicians much greater than myself:”
Being pressed to name them, each of the doctors
supposing himself to be one of the three, ne an
swered, “water, exercise and diet.'
There is a pretty thought contained in the fol
lowing epitaph on an infant:
•‘He took the cup of life to sip,
For bitter ’twas to drain—
He put it meekly from his lip,
And went to sleep again.”
Pride and Shame.—ln a fable by Mandeville
it is said that you have but to increase a man's
pride, and his fear of shame willever be proper- '
lion to it: for the greater va’ t tu, a man sets upon '■
Himself the mure paios be will take, and the
greater hardships he will tjidergo to avoid
shame.

—A letter from Washington say» :
“It is understood that the propriety of Mr.
Calhoun’s going into Convention at this time
a subject ol anxious consideration on the part of
himself and his friends. It would hardly be just
to him to go into a Convention composed of all
the States, as the Locotbco memlrers from nor
thern and eastern States, that will in no event
give a Locofoco electoral vote, will be seen t 0
be in favor of Van Buren. I have no doubt
however, that the course to be pursued will lie
soon settled, as Isaac Hill has arrived, who,
with Mr. Woodbury, who is to go on to Mr.
Calhoun’s ticket as Vice President, will feel au
thorized to act for New Hampshire and the
North generally.”

“Another Year has gone.”
BV W. O. B.
“Weep world, for in the chain of Time
A link is brok’n—ZAe year is dead."
What means at midnight's hour that hollow knell,
Which mounful, as for some departed soul,
Peals on tny waking sense, and, solemn, bids
Each silver chord of feeling deep respond?
Another year is pulseless! hand in hand,
Close o'er the vuwning grave, where, nentry like,
Pale Death with brandished dart keeps spectral
watch,
I see in halos bright of glory clad,
The spirit forms of faded Seasons bend.
Hark! on the blast that wails in sympathy,
Rises dirge-like, in undulating swell,
A solemn train; os on its coffin lid,
Like to the clouds that grate ov’r mortal clay,
Fond hopes, and joys, and cherished wishes ail
Fall thickly by Memory sad alone
To be exhum’d—again in shapes of life,
To pass but unsubstantial visions dim,
In the cell ofthe. imagination.
Another year has gone; its sun has sunk
Below th' horizon of the viewless past,
And twilight gray, pierc’d not by one stray beam,
A fitting shroud folds loosely on its bottom.
Oh what dire changes has remorseless Time
On his broad wing brought to this mundane sphere
Singe last his beam-shod courses yoked,
To roll his chariot around th’ ecliptic.
'.NwLtqns-bear. his impress; impires vast,
S'endiiiu their march unceaseless tow’rds the
West’; —r.
Have heard the rushing ofhis pinions bold,
Like to the bolt that shakes the thunder’s home,
As widely soaring he made war on nature.
Oh! how in his mad course, has one short year,
Resistless, like th’ Kamsin's fiery blast,
Swept darkling o’er the earth, and buried low
The. bright, the holy and the beautiful.
Departed shades, that but a span ngone
Breath’d the free air of life, w here are ye now?
The foot that started Glory’s race to run,
The hand that grasp’d—th’ towering brow
Circled with wreath immortal, and the form
That knelt at Honor’s footstool, or strain’d up
With rigorous strength, the threatening main,
To where proud Fame hur shining temples held,
Or Victory smiling reared here palm branch.
Th’ expansive mind,that matchless,soar’d to grasp
In darting flight, ev'n space unlimited.
Th’ ambitious eye, keen as the dazzling ray,
Which it would feed upon; and th’ liquid longue
That all mankind with deepest music thrill’d.
The crested warrior, whose godlike form
Did stem the purple tide of battle well.
The child of passion, with the aged seer,
And the soft minstrel youth of golden dreams,
And the joyous-hearted free-toned maiden,
Radiant.with heaven’s own loveliness?
Deep from the mystic halls where silence reigns,
Like spirit’s wail, an echo answ’ring breaks —
Where are they? Gone! gone from th’ world forev’r.
Another year is buried; but the glass,
Whose last grain, droping, mark’d its parthed
breath,
Saw sprung from changeless system definite
Another loll’wer in the course of time;
And th’ bland gales that its sad requiem sang,
Beck from its tomb with anxious haste return’d,
The infant’s cradle with their wings to rock.
Once more shall pass in circle join’d, ov’r earth,
The seasons, foll’wingin succession quick.
Old winter past, again the vocal spring,
Clad in gay blossoms and in dewy flow’rs, ,
Shall woo winds spice-fed; stir with od’rous breath
The balmy seed, and incense dropping myrrh,
And fill with heartful sweetness ail the air.
Young summer, too, the thristy plain will sear;
Upon whose sluggish steps, with bounteous horn,
And wand dispensing bloomy ripeness round,
Her wide path mark’d through seas of waving
grain,
Behold the yellow autumn.
In th’ diadem
Os the New Year, hope, love and joy—bright gems;
Will shed abroad their lustre. Man, again
His leading destinies will close pursue;
And in restraint, by heaven’s great law upheld,
Ail things shall their primal order keep,
While rings with rapturous praise th’

AUGUSTA MARKET.
Wbdneseav Ewnino, January 4.
Cotton—Since onr last report, and up to this
day, we have had an active and animated trade in

We give no decline in our quotations, but that the
asking prices are with difficulty obtained. We
quote 4J a 7 cents as extremes of the market.
Bagging and Bate Hope—The demand fol both
these articles has again commenced since the
holidays, and prices remain without change.
Flour— Canal Flour is still selling at wliriesale
at per bbl—retail price .$6,50. Country Flour
is in better demand, and a rood article would
command 85J a S 6.
Bacon— New Bacon from wagons has been sold

annah at para J perct. discount. Central Bank
notes are selling at from 36 to 40 per ct. discount.

Our review of last Saturday morning left the
cotton market in a very dull state, and with a de
cidedly downward tendency in prices, in conse
quence of the large stock on sale, and the advance
in the rates of freight. Since then the receipts of
• Cotton have continued large, nnd the rates of
freight have also further improved, and under the
influence of these causes the, market has declined
fully a quarter of a cent on nil descriptions below
good fair. The rates for good fair and good and
tine, are better maintained on account of thfc com
parative scarcity of these grades, add cannot well
be quoted lower, but our quotations for them how
ever, in the present state of the market, are mere
ly nominal. Owing to the reduction in prices,
buyers have been operating yfffyujxtensively, the
sales or Saturday, having ainpunWfl to fully 6500
bales, on Monday to 8500, ana yesterday to 5600,
in all ..0,000 bales dining the three days. Some
very important purchases have been made for the
French and other Continental markets, but the
largest portion of the business, however, has been
on English account. Buyers for our home mar
kets at the North, have operated to only a triflin?
extent, comparatively.
