THE LYCEUM.
Voluntary association is the agent by which all
great moral and mental ■ reforms are effected. It is
the lever of civilization, before which prejudice is
dissolved and the clouds of ignorance flee away,—
Among the most useful and influential of the
various forms of association whose object is human
progress and the promotion of knowledge, the Ly
ceum stands pre-eminent This with many of the
other institutions which give to modern society its
polish and lofty tone, and to modern government its
strength and beauty, had its origin, like the fruit
ful Nile, far away in the deserts of past ages, be
yond the research and enterprize of many who
even claim the award of literary distinction. As a
medium of rational improvement, its importance is
daily advancing in public estimation ; its utility is
beginning to be felt not only in cities, among the
learned, hut also in villages and neighborhoods,
and by thousands who throng the retired walks of
life. The time, place and circumstance of its
origin form therefore an interesting subject of in
quiry, to which weprojiosc to devote a limited space.

man ; gives them a more intimate acquaintance
with each others pursuits, and breaks down the
fictitious barriers that arc apt to spring up betweem
than. In short it confers immense benefits on so
ciety, by imparting to all classes a high intellectual
character and lofty moral feeling. Such an insti-

Our news from Washington may be shortly
summed up. On the 21st inst. which is.the
date of our last intelligence, the Seuatc was
still laboring at the Bank bill, but with some
hope of bringing the discussiou lo a close at
an eatly day. The amendments-of the oppo
sition were nearly exhausted, aud nothing, re-
the sea coast, and bring out this prediction at least.
Tho latter gentleman dor's not gain any tiling by
his “ Relief Message,” and the people arc tired of
tho Central Bank. They now say they want a
Bank that can and w ill pay specie for its notes when
demanded, and they begin to see too, that they will
all vet be taxed to raise money ro redeem the Central
Bank notes, that arc now in circulation. Just touch
one of our “ up-country” fellows in the way of tax
ing him and he will tell you mighty quick, what he
thinks about rile Central Bank, or any tiling else

Iiostulate that the “statement of the issue” • Afterreviewingtheaeiton offheiastlegis-
just recited, is “correct or at least partially so:” , latino on tile subject of a bank—which, bye
for, if it is not, of what avail are all the tic- the bye, had no connection whatever with the
worship. If we give credence to tho historian
Pausanius, the appellation of Lycius was given
biai by Danatis the Egyj-tian, when he contested
with Gclanor king of Argos for tho scc|>trc of the
vuipirc. He told the jnoplc of Argos that he had
seen a wolf which the Greeks called liuus or /yens
achieve a complete victory over a formidable ox, hv
which Apollo intended to show them that a stran
ger should prevail over a citizen ; the wolf being a
foreign animal, whom he interpreted to mean him
self. The siqierstitious Greeks reposing implicit
confidence in the ominous prognostics of this story,
invented by a wily anil ambitious polilican, imme
diately raised him to the throne. In order to rivet
this delusion, Danaus, as soon as he was invested
with his new sovereignty, dedicated a temple to
Apollo Lycius. In the suburbs of Athens, and
on the right bank of the farfamed perennial Missus,
the Lycecm stood, deriving its name from and
dedicated to Apc llo Lycius whose statue stood at
the entrance. It is not known with cer
tainty to whom this celebrated edifice owed its first
existence. Some historians claim the honorable
distinction for Pisistralus, some for Pericles, and
inninetl lor them to do, but make a few long
winded speeches against the bill by way of , thathasatendcncy to ex tract one cent from Ins,HK-k-

ON A 3UN-DIAL NEAR VENICE,
With the inscription—“ Horas non numcro nisi scrcnai.'
From a Volume of Mss. Poems,
BV HON. RICHARD HENRY WILDE.
Let others in some dreary clime
Of fogs and storms, and snows and showers,
Mark the slow lapse of lingering time—
I only count unclouded hours.
Beneath calm, pure, and brilliant skies,
Where all is sun-sbiue, mirth and flowers,
I seize each moment a3 it flies.
And truly tell the cloudless hours.
When Heaven withdraws its cheerful ray
From Pleasure’s waste and leafless bowers,
I take no note of Night or Day—
I only heed unclouded hours.
Learn then, from me, this rule of life :
When Fortune smiles, or Danger lowers.
In bliss or wo, in peace or strife—
Learn but to count unclouded hours.
A uy testa, Georgia.
TO THE PUBLIC.
It having been suggested to roc by a portion of
the Directors of the Chattahoochee Rail Road
Bank, that in my statement published in the pajiers
last week, in relation to the liabilities of the officers
and directors of said Bank, I was not stiffit iejiRy
explicit as to the amount due by each of'them—
to do justice to the directors, as the amount of
iheir liability bears but a small .projiortion to the
amount named, 4o wit: ^85,700 due to the Bank
by all combined, it will lie recollected that I slated
at the time, that the amount was not equally divi
ded among them, hut that it the directors (the prn-
per guardians of the Bank) consented to the taking
of all this money from the institution by its officers,
they were equally to blame. From what know
ledge I had of banking, I thought lhati
was placed under the exclusive confro.'l
rectors; that neither the President,
any other person cculd legally or IioncslB^^ike oncj
dollar for private purposes, withoufarfyorder from (
the Board of Directors. Under view of the
matter, I summed up their liabihtie»*ggrrgafrly.-
Bv request, however, and in explanation, 1 hereby
state, that the aggregate debt of three of the direct
ors, to wit: Mr. Leonard, Mr. Campbell and Mr.
Spivey, was about SI, 100—that of Col. Jones, tho
other director, S5,000. (passed by the Board of Di.
rectors,) the balance was taken by the PresidehI
and Cashier without an order from the Board.
For the inattention and neglect of the directors
in uniting to inquire into and control the transac
tions of the Bank, they are responsible to public
opinion. They thought it but just, however, that
their individual liabilities should lie known. From
these circumstances, it appears that the management
and control of the Bank was left pretty much to
the President and Cashier. This was unfortunate,
as the sequel proved'. L. B. MOODY.
Among the thousand eulogies of General
Harrison, we havc seen none more beautiful
than that pronounced by Mr. E. D. Mansfield,
of Cincinnati'. \Vo annex the closing para
graphs:
Yesterday the young Harrison entered yon
der fort, amidst the thick shades of nnculii- ,
vated nature. To-day lie is gone to his grave,
the chief of a great nation; and that spot is
alive \Vitli a ! panorama of arts, and men, and I

he left it tire city, lie entered 1 if a Sillihltern,
lie left it-a President! Th'e country and the
trthVt fun parallel together. Me grew with its
growth, and lie strengthened with its strength.
We turn from the vision of the Capitol, lo
the face rtf the dead. In that mortal body,-
and iu that quiet sleep, is the cud and the
summary of all human power. The sounds
of the trumpet have died away upon the air;
the orb of glory litis ceased lo shine; and the
red llag of victory no more unfolds its crimson
sheet! Why gaze the people on yon narrow
house? Why is it rlorhed in datk array, the
altar arid- r-he chancel ? Why does lire voice,
so lately j’riyftil, give forth only tones of sad
ness ? lie is gone! and from earth furever.—
Warrior! thy bhrtle is ended. Statesman!
thy duty is done. FafOwell to thee, our pio
neer chief! No more wilt thou look upon
the forest! But, green as its foliage, be tliy
memory to nr.
There is a p'aVt of the life' Of the great and'
noble, which sutvives the body, even lieie
on earth. There is a monument, more dura
ble than brass. This remainder iu their lives
is the memory of their deeds. Fame is the
only plant of earth w hose leaf never withers.
It belongs not so much to the dead as to us;
not so much to the present as to the future.
It gfotVs with advancing ages.
Already has Fame seized her trumpet!—
Already has the recording angel of history ta
ken his pen. Already do the men of future
ages come up to read his pictured page. Al
ready do we hear the voices of advancing mil
lions re-soundhis praise aud re-echo his name
from the shores of distant time !•
Tradition among the Indians of the Nortli-^ r
west tell «s, that wlicti a great chief had fal
len, it was riie duty of finch one of his tribe,
as tlrey ptisseef his tomb, lo place upon it a
handful of earth; and that thus they honored
his memory from generation ro generation,
till by their friendly tributes,that.tomb became
the mighty mound upon these western plains.-

“ They likes it !”—Wc have seldom been
more amused than w ith the following remntks
of a .writer in tiie Charleston Mercury :
“ The removal of the deposites, which has
heen so much the theme of party controver- 1
sy, really did much more good than harm.— I
Its tendency was to check the extravagant
spirit of the time. It did partially check it.
All will remember what was called the panic,
the scarcity of money, that for a short time
followed the removal of the deposites. This
was exactly what the country wanted.”
