The Southern Quarterly Review.
New Series. Vol. 1, No. 2—August, 1850.
Edward H. Britton & Cos., publishers, Colum
bia, S. C.
We are in raceipt of the above number of
the Southern Quarterly Review, one of the few
periodicals, if not the only one in the United
States, that challenges comparison witli the
great British Quarterlies. It equals them in
ability—in profundity of subject'and masterly
treatment—and far excels them in its mechan
ical getting up. The Review is now under the
oditorial conduct of Dr. J. H. Thornwell, one
of the master minds of the Union. The pres
ent number contains tho following varied series
of papers, to some ol which we may again re
vert:—-Greek in the Middle Ages—Our Organs
of Destructiveness—The Men of Science in the
Miudlc Ages—lhe Infinite—Sleep and Dreams
Miracles—North American Ornithology—
The Crusades—Plato’s Phredon—Critical No
tices.
Tho price of tho Review is only $5 per an
num ; it deserves the liberal support not only
of Southerners but of every American who
feels pride in the literary status and progress
of his country.
The Talladega Watch tower wants to know of
us, whether tho block recently burned in Golds
ville, Ala., was tho log cabin grocery, or the
old corn (less) crib. We nro informed thut it
was neither. Tho block was the anvil-block
in a blacksmith shop, the only house burned.
We further state for the edification of our con
temporary that the paragraph about the tiro
is circulating far and wide as a deplorable ca
lamity. For ourselves we were not “sold;”
when the paragraph was handed us, it was with
the remark that wo could publish it, if we
would, which led us to scent the mice, and
make inquiries. Goldsvillo still survives!

C. and A. Telegraph Company.
The Apalachicola Advertiser is informed by
the enterprising contractor, P. H. Musgrovc,
Esq., for the Columbus and Apalachicola Tele
graph Company, that there are already 100
miles of posts ready for the wires and that in
the course of two weeks more, 50 miles addi
tional will havo boon completed. Mr. M. says
that he will have the line in operation as far
south as Marianna by Ist November.
Judge McLeau, of the Supreme Court, has
written to tho Cincinnati Gazette iu regard to
tho application made to him for a writ of ha
beas corpus in the case of Robinson and others
in confinement in Kansas, charged with trea
son. Ho statos that as the indictment for
troasou charged the offence as within the Con
stitution, and that the defendants were arrest
ed under a warrant issued by the court on tho
indictment, he refused the writ, inasquich as
illegality, tbe only ground for release, did not
appeal - on the face of the papers.
Texas Legislature.
Mr. Bryan, on the 31st only, introduced iu
the House a joint resolution, which requires
the Govornor to convene a special Legislature
on or before Ist of January, 1857, should the
unti slavery candidate for the Presidency be
elected ; and further, that the Governor for
ward a copy of these resolutions to the Gov
ernor of each slaveholding State. The resolu
tion was referred to the Committee on State
affairs.
A letter from a bauk, continuing a genuine
bill tor one thousand dollars, was, a sow days
since, returned to the dead letter office, the

R R. Meeting in Bainbridge.
We learn from tiie Bainbridge Argus that a
Kail Road meeting was held iu that town on
the 14th, D. H. Hays in the chair, to take into
consideration the recommendations of the
Board of Directors of the .Savannah, Albany
and Gulf Railroad company, to tho citizens of
j Savannah and Southwestern Georgia.
Sixty delegates were appointed by the chair
to represent the Railroad interests of Decatur
county, at the Convention to bo held in Thom
asville on the 4th proximo.
The meeting was then addressed by Mr.
Sims, who said
He had no doubt the people of Thomas and
Lowndes would compromise upon the Bruns
wick line and still less doubt of the inclination
of the peoplo of Savannah to come to it. That
the true interest of Decatur was to use her in
fluence to produce that result. But in the
event that a compromise could not he effected
upon the Brunswick line to Thomasvillo and
from thence to Bainbridge, our delegates ought
to give to the Savannah, Albany and Gulf com
pany assurances that if they will run their
road from the initial point, direct to Bain
bridge ; the people of Decatur would favoj the
move and stand by them to the last.

Atlanta & LnGrango Railroad.
“Wo have been favored,” says the Savannah

statement:

This statement only shows what has been
done the past year, during the greater part of
which time the road has been under the man
ugement of Geo. G. Hull, Esq., as Suporinten
nent. He certainly can congratulate himself
on his suoccss, and the stockholders on their
profits. The fact that the Hon. Juo. P. King
is President, is a sufficient guarantee for its
continuing to be a paying road.

The Atlanta papers contain nothing in re
gard to the elopement from that city. We pre
sume they will get wind of it some time during
the present century, and put it under their
“latest news” head. The Savannah Republi
can says:—Tn the “Elopement” paragraph

throe children of one of the parties were
placed at the institution of the Sisters of Mer

The Houston (Texas) Telegraph states that

The Clergy on Hoops.
The Courrier des Etats Unis, has a Paris
correspondent who writes that the French Em
press has declined putting herself at the head
or the reactionary movement against hoops,
leaving the Clergy to tight the battle single
handed : and adds :
One of them, in a sermon, lately told his fair
devotees that, according to the Scripture, the
gates of Paradise were exceedingly narrow,
and that consequently they could not hope to
got in with tlieir dresses spreading so enor
mously. Another, un Archbishop, being pres
ent at a soiree in the Palais de St. Cloud,
strove in vain to make his way between two
rows ol’ ladies, which resembled’two mountain
ranges of gauzes and flowers. One of them,
while endeavoring to make way for him, said :
“ Excuse us, Monseigneur ; the dressmakers
put so much stuff in our skirts’ . ‘That
there is none left for the waists,’ answered the
witty prelate, who pushed on between a double
row and resplendent exhidition of beautiful
white shoulders, without turning his eyes to
them very much, or being under the necessity
of using the handkerchief of Tartuffo.
Melancholy Suicide.
Mr. Ldw. \\. Moore, a young man in the
employment of Mr. Charles A. Dickey of this
city, committed suicide yesterday about one
o’clock p. in. lie was seen to pass by this of
fice in a cab, aud it was remarked by those of
his acquaintance who observed him at the time,
that lie was remarkably pale and must have
been sick. Immediately on reaching his cham
ber wo learu he attempted to cut his throat
with a razor, but failing iu that, he applied
the muzzle of a rifle to his mouth aud shot
himself and expired immediately.
The causo of this sad act, we learn, was a

Northern Preachers in the South.
The Rev. Mr. Boardman, pastor of the Bap
tist Church at Barnwell C. IL, South Carolina,
has recently been obliged to resign liis position
aud return North, because of his approval of
Senator Sumner’s course and his expressed
opposition to Southern institutions. This is
only one of the many instances in which North
ern preachers have been compelled to leave the
South on account of their hostility to South
ern principles. The editor of the North Caro
lina Christian Advocate advises them to stay
at home until both preachers and people at
the North get a better temper and learn more
of the principles and spirit of Christ and Ilis
Apostles. It is not alleged that Mr. 8., acted
imprudently, but his known political opinions
rendered him un-fit for tho ministerial work
among the people of Barnwell.— Petersburg Ex

Princely Display.
A fact which will give some idea of the
splendor Prince Paul Esterhazy is to appear in
at the Russian Emperor’s Coronation, Moscow,
is, that each of the six horses, reserved exclu
sively for his personal use, is valued at from
eight thousand to ten thousand florins—
s3,ooo to $4,000. The cloth of his favorite
horse is a tiger’s skin, the edges of which are
ornamented with brilliants, on which his fami
ly arms are designed in diamonds. This luxu
ry will be understood, when we mention that
the diamonds of the Esterhazy family repre
sent a greater value than all its other property
put together.
French Immigration.
The Bas Canada states that fifteen families
of French farmers from Normandy and fifty
two individuals from Belgium have arrived, to
settle on the government lands, in Lower Can
ada, and they are only the first instalment of
a very large French emigration expected there
during the present season. It is believed that
these 15 families from Normandy are a larger
emigration from France to Canada than lias
taken place in any one year since the conquest
of the province.
Adjournment of Congress.
Tho General Appropriation bills have nil
been passed, excepting for the Army; and
this, as is well known, was defeated on account
of the “Republicans”adhering to their amend
ment restricting the operations of the military
in Kansas, and providing for the disarming of
the militia of that territory. The bill made
appropriations to the extent of fourteen mil
lions of dollars. The extent of the damage
which will thus be occasioned is beyond com
putation, especially when we take into consid
eration the Indian wars prevailing on tho Pa
cific coast, aud tho paralysis with which the
army will be afflicted. Hostile operations
cannot be oarried forward on credit, arid no
mouey can be drawn from the Treasury except
iu'pursuance of law. Besides, the operations
at the various arsenals and armories will have
to be suspended in a great measure, perhaps
altogether, until an army bill shall be passed
mt a future session. There is some talk of an
•extra session, but this could not bo consum
mated iu a less period than sixty days, aud
•we doubt whether the extreme measure will
be resorted to, especially as the regular ses
sion would then not be far distant.— Cor. Balt.

Fatal Effects of Guano.
Mr. Silas Gravel, a resident of Lower Ma
rion, Montgomery county, Pa., lately died un
der these painful circumstances. It appears he
was preparing a lot of guano to sow prepara
tory to putting in a turnip crop, and had at the
time a number of sores upon the back of liis
hands. Into one of these sores the guano
penetrated, and in u day or two after lie expe
rienced a sharp pain in one of his arms, which
extended rapidly to the shoulder, and from
thence to liis body, growing most acute, and
causing his whole system to become swollen.
Physicians were sent for, who pronounced the
case beyond medical skill. In this state he
lingered in great agony for about a week, when
death relieved him of his sufferings.
A son having asked tiie father's age, the fa

if five-eighths of both ages are added, the sum

Disgraceful Affair.
A most disgraceful affair occurred in our <ji;,
on last Monday night, the 11th inst. The fact,
are as follows, as related to us by the sufferer
of this outrage himself. Some two month
ago, a man who says his name is John Saul,.
berry, came to this city from Sumterville, 8. (.
and engaged to do work on the Marion Branch
Road. While in the city on Monday night,
young man by the name of Perkins, at the
City Hotel, proposed that they would g 0 t 0
Nance’s Tank to bath; while at the tank’
some seven persons ran up disguised, gathered
held of Saulsberry, earned him by force some J
three hundred yards up the river to an old J
shanty at a brick yard, stripped him of hi? I
clothing, and most inhumanly whipped him 1
with a cow-hide and a paddle, and blacked hi- I
person. They then carried him to a house o! a
illfame, and with licks upon his person, forced!
him to break through a window into the house 1
they then took him to the house of a negr 1
woman, made him liug and kiss the uegr
wench, and perform various other interesting I
and amusing (to them) tricks. He says the’
then took him to the Exchange drinking hous.
and forced liquor down him, and finally carrie,
him to the porch of the City Hotel, where, ai
ter inflicting quite a number of stripes with
cow-hide and paddle, turned him loose perfect
ly naked, and less of all the money he had- |
sl3 20. Saulsberry says the only reason the*,
persons give him for this barbarous and un |
lawful outrage were, that he had failed to par )
his hotel bill of about S3O, and that he ha ;
been taking buggy rides with some young la-a
dies.
We know nothing about the previous Liston 1
of Saulsberry, and had never seen him unti 1
he called at our office on yesterday to exhibit ;i
to us the laceration of his flesh made by these jj
men. He seems to be a respectable individuai f
and to our mind it is one of the most heinous j
outrages that has ever been perpetrated in 1
this State, and it is just one of those violation! 1
of the rights of persons that should be made 1
an example of. We denounce in the roundest 1
terms nil species of mob-law. We have good 1
laws, and if there is a violation of these laws. -
we have honest and upright men enough in this |
city and county to have those laws enforced. 1
and therefore, there could have been no excuse 1
for this outrage in our city. —Selma [Ala. I

Chinese Gleanings.
The Chinese, as our readers know, are ven
different from the inhabitants of most of the I
heathen countries. Among the points forffl
which they are remarkable, is the numbers: 9
their books with the mixture of wisdom and J
folly with which they are filled. As sped 9
mens, we shall now give our readers a fen I
of their proverbs. These will show that, while i
there is much darkness in their hearts, there H
is some light also.
Prosperity is a blessing to the good butajl
curse to the evil.
Better to be upright with proverty, than 1
wicked with plenty.
If you love your son, give him plenty of the 1
cudgel; if you liate him, cram him with dam- j
ties.
A word once spoken, a coach with four |
horses cannot overtake it and bring it back. J
They who respect themselves will be hoc- |
ored; but they who do not care about their M
character, will be despised.
Hear one side, and you will be in the dark; ;|
hear both sides and all will be clear.
It is foolish to borrow trouble from to-mor- 1
row.
To do good and wish people to know it, i;i I
not true goodness.
When doing what is right, the heart is easy j
and becomes better every day, but when prac- I
ticing deceit, the mind labors and every day 1
gets worse.
Those who touch vermilion become red, aid J
those who touch ink become black; so peopif I
take their character from their stupid com- j!
panions.
A gem uncutis of no use; ..o a man untaught j
is stupid.
He who labors with the mind, govern- 1
others; lie who labors with the body, is got- I
erned by others.
Our readers will not fail to see how nearly a
some ot the proverbs now quoted agree with i
Scripture truth. These, we have no doubt. j
have been preserved from very ancient times |
hen the Chinese want to describe a person 1
who pretends to be very brave, and makes a §
great parade in order to show bis courage, 1
they say that “he is cutting off’ a hen’s bead 9
with a battle ax.”
A coward who boasts of his courage they cal! J
a paper tiger.
They compare a person who pretends to bel ;
what he is not, to a fox who tries to look m |
noble and strong as a tiger.
If a person is ignorant of books, they say
‘Turn him upside down, but not a drop of j
will come out of him.’

This pugilistic feat was duly applauded, m
may be oonsidered as among the first fruit
