Library Edition off liarle* Lamb’* Work*. The Work* of Charles Lam*. In four volumes. A New Edition. Boston : Crocby, Nichols, Lee A Company. Charles Lamb will ever occupy an honored niche in the temple of fame—a favored place in the hearts of all who are familiar with his life and writing. There is something in the character of the man so irresistibly winning, that we come to love him in spite of ourselves. And the later rev- | elation* of his history give him so much true no- j bilitt exhibit so strikingly his 1 fe-long devotion and •'. If-'aorifice —show so clearly the generous •Tiipuif’* us 1 * a soul, that our reverence for him is enhanccdVianv fold. The friend and companion of Coleridge, Wo ft worth, Socthet, Hazlitt. Hunt, and many other brilliant but lesser lights, ■ his name and works are intimately associated with an interesting and eventful period in English lit- j erature. II - letters to these worthies, as well as those to Maxsino, Barton, Dyer, Lloyd, etc., form the most delightful epistolary reading in the language. We never take them up without fresh feelings ot admiral; a for the author. But why nhoulti Wf say ev.-n this much of Lamb? The world knows his history, venerates his name, anu , will continue V> read his works. Let us say, how- j ever, that the “ F— ay* of Elia” are a part of our ; * c iajKfull as they are with delicate humor, | exquisite pathos, quaint fancies and able criticism, j When we cease to sdrairo theaa beautiful creations ! of his brain, then ft thing of beauty will cease to | be a joy forever. Talyourdexecuted his task con amort and with 1 rare fidelity; the work of arranging Lamb’s cor- j respondent, and forming the whole into a con | tinuous narrative, could not have been entrusted to better hands. It is likely no one else will at tempt do again what has been so well done by Tai.koi rd—for our part, at least, we desire no <-cond attempt. The first volume of this new and complete edi tipn contains I.amb’s earlier letters, and is embel lished with n fine portrait, taken, we should judg’ ,at em advanced period of his life. Care has plowed deep furrows in that fine thoughtful face ; nevertheless, nobleness and truth have left their ineffaceable impress upon the countenance. A better portrait, perhaps, is the following verbal lirnnm by Tai-fourd himself: “ M©thinks 1 see him before rae now, as he appeared at our first meeting, and u he continued, with scarcely any perceptible alteration to me, during the twenty \ earn of intimacy that followed, and were closed by his death. A light frame, so fragile that it seemed as if a breath would overthrow it, clad in clerk-like black, was surmounted by a head of form and < xpru-.ion the most noble and sweet, i i Ilia black hair, curled < nsply about an expanded i varying expn--.ion, though tin* prevailing feeling was wad ; and • .oe nose slightly carved, and deli cately curved at the nostril, with the lower outline of the face regularly ovai, completed a head w hich was finely placed on the shoulders, and gave im portance and even dignify to a diminutive and shadowy stern. Who snail describe Ins counte nance, catch iti quivering sweetness, and fix it forever in words? There are none, alas, to an swer the vain desire of friendship. Deep thought striving with humor, the lines or mi tiering wreath cd into cordial mirth, and a smile of painful sweetness, present an image to the mind it can as little describe as lose/’ The second volume embraces the balance of the Letters and “ Final Memorials.” The third con tains the world renowned “ Essays of Elia,” and “Popular Fallacies.” The fourth and last has “ Rosamund t.rav, E - ivs, Oitinsms of the Eng lish Drahiatic Writers, the Flays, Poems, Ac.— The edition as a w hole must take the precedence of ail others in tin* country. We grow particular in our taste after reading such splendid volumes, with Much perfection of printing, delicate tinted upper hi*/) elegant binding—and can hardly go Jiuck to anything inferior in the “Art preserva live.” Nothing finer can he wished than a library stocked with books like these—valuable alike in their contents and adornments. The work is sold ‘dirt cheap”—five dollars for the ‘•ot. It may he obtained through any of our booksellers, or ordered direct from the Publish ers, AL ?sis. Cinisiiv, Nichols, Ebb A Cos., Boston, Mass. M'crci Hesalon*. An unusual and, in our opinion, very objection able practice lias been inaugurated with this ora of Conventions, of excluding the public from their deliberations and passing much of their tiin- in secret session- a practice w hich we trust will not be adopted by the (Georgia Convention now in MCKsion. No sufficient reason has yet boen assign ed for this distrust of the people, nor, ns we con ceive, cun any he given. Publicity in our legisla live tnd judicial bodies is ons of the most impor tant safeguards of liberty and justice, and upon no reasonable grounds can it he asserted that it is proper to couce.il from the people the acts of their servants. If it is claimed that it may ho necessary to con ceal from an enemy tho debates of the Conven tion, it may lie answered that they etc of very lit tle consequence, tho result must sooner or later be known every where, and to an ouemy, tho re sult alone is of consequence, the process by which it is arrived at is immaterial, provided it is fair nnd legal. With the honorable, intelligent and high-toned class of men who compose the Soutb •*rtf Conventions, an enemy has little chance for •orruption or intrigue. Naturally, ihe people, who are profoundly in terested iu the action of the Convention, will feel disttust when its proceedings arc so studiously concealed. Any who are disposed to ho discon tented with its decision, will not be likely to be be better satisfied when they are prohibited from knowing the reasons and process by which that decision is attained -and every cause for dissen sion among our own people, even the slightest, ought in the present crisis to be carefully avoided. The delegates are responsible to tho people, and should not tear to submit to the popular tribunal all their proceedings. We can see no valid reas ons why the Conventions should thus rather ot t*ntat iau*ly cloak their proceedings in a “dark lantern” mystery, and delegates should bear in mind that no small share of the obloquy under which the notorious Hartford Convention has lain for nearly fifty years, arose not solely from its de signs, which have been accounted innocent and patriotic once or twice in the lapse of those years, But principally from its sitting with “closed doors.” It was imagiued that something very heinous was concealed under all that mystery, that they “loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil,” but they in reality shut out the public only because they belonged to that class of politi cians who, us .Ikkkkkson said, feared the people, and the decision of the people has consequently “datnnml them to everlasting fame.” llallain'N HUiorlcal Works. View of tiik Stath of Euitora during the Middle Ages. Hy llkmiy Uallavi, LL. 1)., F. K. A. S., Foreign Associate of the Institute of France. Three volumes. Boston : Crosby, Nichols, Lee A Company. ISfil. The enterprise of publishing, in a beautiful and appropriate dress, the Historical Works of Henry Ham.au, is one that must be favorably received by the American public. No edition has as yet been issued in this country that can compare with this, thus far, in all the essentials of n good li brary edition. It is what every student of Eng lish historical literature, every admirer of argu mentative power, nice analysis nnd critical acu men every bibliomaniac, even, who craves tho possession of recherche books, will desire to call his own. Messrs. Crosby, Nichols, Lbs A Cos., are living good service in giving us uniform edi lions of standard ami classical works like these, in sue i a tasteful nnd becoming dress. The three volumes now under notice comprise a “ View of the State of Europe during the Middle Ages”- a most interesting period of Old World history ; to be followed by “ The Constitutional History of Euglaud, from the Accession of Hunky VII. to the Heath of George ll.and by the “ Iu | troductiouto the Literary History of Europe in I the Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centu ries.” The whole series will be comprised in ton volumes. Hai.lam's reputation as a historian has been so long and firmly established—his vast and varied ; acquirements are so patent to the reading world, | that nothing iu the way of ©ulogium is now re quired to add lustre to his name;—yet we cannot j forbear quoting Mun i.at, who, in makiug a com ; parisou between Hallam and Scott, says: “Sir , Walter ott gives us a novel; Mr. Hallam a critical and argumentative history. Both are oc- 1 cupied with the same matter. But the former looks at it with the eye of a sculptor. His inton . tion is to give an express and lively image of its j external form. The latter is an anatomist. His j task is to dissect the subject to its inmost recess os, and to lay before us all the spring* of motion and all the causes of decay.” The distinguished essayist from whom we cite, further remarks: 4 ‘Mr. Hallam is better qualified than any o*.her writer ot our time for the office which he has tin , dertaken. IU has great industry and great acute ness. His knowledge is extensive, various and profound. His mind is equally distinguished by the amplitude of its grasp and by ihe delicacy of its tact. His speculations have none of that vagueuess which is the common fault of political philosophy. On the contrary, they are strikingly practical. They teach us not only the general rule, but the mode of applying it in particular cases.” It is worthy of mention, that the volume of “Supplemental Notes,” published in is now incorporated in the original work. The energetic and popular Publisher* have our bent wishes for their pecuuiarv success in their enterprise of issuing, in all the beauty and rich uess of paper and print which distinguishes the books emanating from the “ Riverside Press.” the historical works of Hbsrt Hallam, to match their elegant Library Editions of Hume, Gibbon, Ma caulay, Ac. And we feel confident they will meet with the most generous support in all sections of our common country. Ihv aeries of Haul am’s Histories, or any of the works enumerated iu the advertisement, which may be found in another column, may be obtained direct from the Publishers, or ordered through anr of our W wU. rs. ‘ Messrs.

From the Mercury of Monday we take the fol lowing items : An officer of Fort Sumter, on Saturday, called at our counting room and subscribed for the Charleston Mercury, to be mailed to him at Fort Sumter, for the next three months. Refusal to Sell Revolvers to South Caroli na. We learn that in cousequenco of the Into charge of Judge Smalley, of New York, the agent of Colt’s revolvers in that city has refused *to till any orders from this State for those weapons. The following wo clip from the Courier of the same date : Tub Flag or South Carolina.—The Joint Com mittee of both Houses of the Legislature, on Saturday uight, made choice of a flag or ensign suitable to be born bv South Carolina. The Com mittee will report t\ie result of their labors to day. The Hag chosen will consist of a plian white, ground, with a greon Pahnotto tree iu the centre, ami a white crescent in tin* left upper corner on a square blue field. Youthful Voluxthrrs. Benjamin C. Pawley, of Hpottsvlvania, Ya., aged PI years, was on u visit to Petersburg, Vn., when he heard of the occupation of Fort Sumter, and the probability of war against South Carolina. He immediately sent his horse home, and set out for Charleston, walking u great, part of tile way. On his arrival here, and the report of his inten tion, Col. John S. Preston generously undertook to equip him, and he is now awaiting response from him to be enrolled as a recruit under Lieut. W. Hampton Gibbea. Colutnhus Daniel, 18 years of age, has reached the city from Nashville on a similar mission, and lias been enrolled by Lieut Gibbcs. A Goon Kxohanok.- President Bn cl) a nun, who seems only capable of n “property” view of tin* great political movement of the day, seized and occupied Fort. Sumter, in violation of plighted faith and in menace against tho South. In return ho gave us Fort Pulaski, and the State of Georgia, previously considered doubtful by many friends and advocates of secession. It will be easy to take Fort Sumter when necessa ry, but can the Union recapture Georgia? It has been a very good exchange for the South, and the President, in order to gam tho false and treacher ous approval of the Abolitionists, who for three years have denounced him, lias done more for the ftouth than he could have done by non-action, or by open defence of the South. Tin n to tuh South.—The National Volunteers, a military organization at the Federal Capitol, embracing some 500 names, held a meeting a few nights since at Harmony Hall, which was attended by a majority of the members. Capt. K. Cleary was chosen President, and J. 11. Gantt, Esq., Secretary of the meeting. Able and fervent addresses were delivered bv Dr. Boyle, F. A. Aiken, Esq., and L. Q. Washington, Esq., who introduced a preamble and resolutions, which were adopted unanimously, with tremen dous applause. The preamble says that the Federal compact has been repeatedly and grossly violated by the North, and is no longer a shield of defence for the rights of all, but anngency by which the doctrines of the ‘“higher law” may be carried on at such times nnd in such manner as its advocates may consider expedient. It deprecates the attempt to convert Washington into an armed camp by en rolling the militia, and odds, that if Maryland and Virginia should resume sovereign power, the re teution of this city by tho Black. Repub.ican Gov ernment would be not only uusafe but impracti cable. We hold, then, that the destinies of Wash ington are intimately linked with the States of Virginia and Maryland, and that to oppose their their action would be ruin to every property hold er in this city. Therefore, Resolved, i. That we will stand by and defend the South, and that under no circumstances will we assume a position of hostility to her interests j or affiliate with a military organization prompted by a partisan spirit to subserve the aims of the Black Republican party. 2. That the reign of terror attempted to be in augurated in our midst is a system of tyranny which calls for tho most emphatic rebuke. * H.

Alabama Important Oroinaxcb.—The Uon reution, yesterday, by a large majority, passed an Ordinance, (reported by the Military C ommittee, to provide for the military defense of this State. !

Burning of the Steymspip William Jenkins.— • Yesterday morning, about 1 o’clock, the alarm of j fire was given, and it was soon known that the j steamship William Jenkins, Capt. iiullett, lying at Carle*ou’s wharf, near the gas house, was on 1 tire. She was immediately cut loose from the j wharf and moored on tlie other side of the river. \ The .L ukins arrived iu our port, from Boston via * Baltimore, < n Friday afternoon last, with u full j cargo. At tbe time of her catching tire she had | but a portion of her cargo discharged. The Jen- i kms was a sido-wheel steamer, of about l f ooo j tons, and owned in Baltimore by Messrs. Jenkins ; A De Ford. Previous to her trip from Boston to ! this port, she came out of the dry dock at Wil- i mingtmi. having had some sStv'nV) worth of re- j j pairs done. She was worth about #50,000, aud ! will prove a total loss. The origin of the fire, we , learn, was accidental.— Sar.h. A, 20tA. The Tr ops for Pensacola. —lt is reported I here that owing to the number of troops already j concentrated at Pensacola and on the hue ot march ! 1 thither, the Governor of Alabama has counter- I i minded the order to the Barbour county compa- ! ; nies. We will not vouch for the correctness of ! | this rumor, however. If the Administration in- j | tends to blockade the port of Pensacola, as report- ‘ ! ed by telegraph, it would seem the better policy j to get possession of Fort Pickens before the 1 blockading squadron arrives and strengthens Lieut. Slimmer’s position. If so, the larger the j ’lumber of troops concentrated by the States at < ; Pensacola, the better. Since the above was in type we learn the re- j | port is true. —Columbus Sun , ; Raising of thb Gborgia Flag at Fort Pi las- l si.—Yesterday morning, after divine service at Fort Pulaski, the commissioned officers of the i ■ several companies garrisoned there, under the or i ders 01 Col.

Hayne, the Com missioner from South Carolina, has, it is under stood, moderated his views since his arrival here, and will remain for several days longer. The opinion is almost unanimous in secessiou circles that all collision between the Federal and State governments should be studiously avoided. Col. Hayne has been daily, since his arrival here, consulting with the leaders of the secessiou movement here, who are opposed to precipitating : hostilities. It is believed that stroug representations have been made, within the past few days, urging the authorities of South Carolina to afi'ord Major An | derson every facility for marketing and obtaining i other domestic supplies. A plan is now before the Committee on Federal Relations of the Virginia House of Delegates, which is regarded as of great interest in political circles here. The idea£mauated with Hon. R. A. Pryor, Congressman of Virginia, and receives the t cordial endorsement of Messrs. Crittenden, Doug las, Breckinridge, W. C. Rives, and other distiu guished gentlemen—embracing all shades of ! Southern and conservative opinions. The plan alluded to is as follows : j First, There must be some definite and conclu | sive settlement of the slavery question, or sepa- 1 ration is inevitable; Second, Proposing the Crit j teuden compromise, as amended by Douglas, us the basis of a fair and honorable adjustment of j existing difficulties, and as the least which Vir i ginia feels she could accept as a settlement; Third, The appointment of a Commissioner to j eac h State in the Union, respecting the action of I V lrginia, and inviting from them a response to this measure of conciliation; Fourth, A strong appeal to the Federal Government to stay its hand, and avoid all acts which may lead to collis ion, pending the mediation of Virginia; Fifth, An appeal to the seceding States to preserve the existing status of governmental aflairs within their limits, and to abstain from all acts which may precipitate to collision. A dispatch from a distinguished source in Vir ginia says that there is no doubt that this plan will pass both Houses of the Legislature. Similar movements will be made in the Legis latures ol Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky. Arrangements are making here for that purpose. Russell has been before the Special Committee of the House of Representatives in regard to the abstracted bonds, aud promptly answered the questions which were propounded to him. He has also laid before the Committee a written state ment of everything he knows relative to this matter. Erroneous dispatches have been sent here rela tive to the defeat of Crittendeu’s compromise in the Senate. The subject will probably come up again to-morrow under the motion to reconsider. Washington, Jan. 18. —The New York Herald’s correspondent says that the President’s instruc lions to Major Anderson are to act strictly on the defensive, but if the authorities repeat the experi ment of tiring upon vessels, Fort Sumter will open her batteries. Another correspondent says, on the authority ot a Senator, that although the President refuses to receive Commissioners from a single State, he will not withhold official recognition from an authorized ambassador from a Confederacy of se ceding States. Naval officers for Pensacola station have been formally detached, and now awaiting orders. Commodore Shub\ick is not dead. He is re ported perfectly well. Washington, Jan. 13.—1 tis confidently believ ed that the Republicans in the Senate do not in tend, under reconsideration of Crittenden’s pro positions, to vote otherwise than before. They will again reject them. Their determined policy now is said will be not to yield their party position. Secretary Holt was confirmed to-day as Secre tary of War by a vote of 38 to 13. Washington, Jan. 20th.—Many urgent letters have beu sent to Florida, Alabama and Missis sippi, and other Southern States, by secessionists here, advising that Fort Pickens, in Pensacola harbor, be not interfered with at*present, as such a course would probably cause a collision with the Federal troops stationed there. Gen. Havre, the Commissioner from South Carolina, will remain here for ten days or two weeks longer. His visit bus been productive of great good in tht‘ interests of peace. It is not apprehended that any attack will h e made on Fort Sumter at present.. The Alabama Congressmen await official in structions before leaving for home. The Georgia Congressmen will also remain here till officially notified of the secession of their State. Dispatches have been sent to all the Northern Legislatures now in Mession, urging them to co operate with Virginia, in a National Convention. Messrs. Taylor of Louisiana, Phelps of Missouri, Rust of Arkausus, Whitelv of Delaware, Winslow of North Carolina, all join iu the minority report of the Committee of Thirty-three. The principal point in the report is the adoption of Crittenden’s resolutions as amendments to the Constitution. If this is rejected, dissolution of the Union is in evitable, and stops are to be taken to c*all a Con vention of the States with a view to divide the Federal property and settle the terms of commer cial and social amity between the two sections, and a perpetual arrangement respecting the navi gation of the Mississippi river. Washington, Jan. 21st.—Numerous applications continue to be made by postmasters in the seced ing States for supplies of postage stamps. Be fore the orders are filled, an affirmative response is necessary to the question, whether they do now and will continue to hold themselves responsible to the Government in conformity to existing laws for all the postal revenues received by them. Or ders have been filled accordingly for such Post masters as follow the example of Postmaster Hu ger, of Charleston. Thus far, postal communication has been unin terrupted. Judge Greenwood still has the tender of the Secretaryship of the Interior under consideration. NORTH CAROLINA CONVENTION. Raleigu, N.

In connnction with these'Mills already up, it was my purpose to put in some t wo Wool t ’ards and eight Looms, at a cost of not over 2000 dol lars. as estimated by Mr. Alfred Jinks, near Philadelphia.
