    The Convent of lona.
The writer of an article on t:f:s renowned es
tablishment, in a late number vuf the American
Quarterly Register, remarks that: it if an interest
ing fact in the history of the chych, that during
the greater part of the sixth ceijOry, while in En
gland the lights of lea.nmg and -e igiun were sul
lering an a mosl total eclipse, in rdand they slionc
forth with distinguished splcndc 1 lie c ' er o. v of
Ireland were among the most le mod anl efficient
in the woild. She was an asytu i for the persecu
ted of other lands, and her c ir< lies prospered
greatly- Ireland, at that period was proverbially
denominated insula sanctorum, ( i islanu of saints.
Missionaries, moreover, went fi»u n Horn that coun
try in all directions, and to tlii : spirit is owing,
among other things, the great .stitution at lona,
concerning wh ch Cr. Johnson, ho saw the spot
in 1773, wrote the celeoratedse.j ence: “Far from
me and from my friends be such frigid philosophy
as may conduct us, indifferent a d unmoved, over
any ground whi. ii ha- been dig; tied by wisdom,
bravery, or virtue. That man i'* little to be en
vied, whose patriotism would n gain force
the plain of Marathon, or wbc 3 piety would not
grow warmer among the ruins v [' lona.”
At this date the ruins were i r}‘ distinct. The
churches of the two convents v re both standing,
though unroofed. The chapel r the nunnery was
in use for a coiv house I A iar e graveyard sur
rounds the buildings ; and here sings and princes
and priests lie in promiscuous c nfusion. The re
putation of the place :or sanct y was such that
applicants for burial on its pit aises were made
even by .Norwegian and Irish,2; well as the Scotch
kings, and the chieftains of he Isles. Several
monarchs are said to have abdit ted their thrones,
ami retired, in the evening of : e, to the cloisters
of lona, that they might here re pa re for death,
and secure for themselves a pla cos burial. It is
re ! atcd by the older historian ), that forty-eight
kings us Scotland, four ol Ire’, id, eight of Nor
way, and one of France, lie int re lon this island.
The foupder of lona, was Ft uinba,born in Ire
land, A. L). 521. After labonnl with signal suc
cess, for a time, in his own cou try, he set sail for
the shores of Scotland. His ttention was first
directed to the Fi ls, many of \ horn were convert
ed. To reward him for those i tedious, the king
of the Piets put him in posses on of the litt'e isl
and of lona, lying on the outei shore of M 11, one
of the principal of the liehrii *s. Columba now
returned to Ireland, and havi ;1 [secured twelve as
sistants. came back and established himself on
lona. The first object was prepare huts, and
erect a little church. Rut as ftlieir fame spread,
and numbers resorted to them (It instruction, tliese
original structures gave place lo olners of a more
permanent character; and in a few years lona was
covered with cloisters and c lurches, and became
the residence of a numerous ai|l learned body of
ecclesiastics. r
The establishment is cornmlnly spoken of as a
convent, but was more properl i a college, or rather
a theological and missionary chool. Its alumni
went out from time to time in all directions, and
exerted a mighty influence. J ley scattered them
selves all over Scot and, the North of England,
Ireland, Wales, and even the .elgic Provinces of
Germany. New institut ons, f couise, were cre
ated Indeed, i. is said by sot e writers, that not
less than a hundred different convents, founded
substantially after the model • that at lona, and
growing up under its influence rose into being du
ring the next 400 years. Th members of these
establishments, and the missi nar.es from them,
were denominated Culdccs. ; ill) the growth of
some of these rather declin
ed. Then it suffered by an illusion of Danish pi
rates. A Norwegian party ntaged the Island af
terwards. Still it subsisted, fj late as the thir
teenth or fourteenth century, [hen this, together
with all the Culdee establishn Hits, were subjected
to the Romish bishops, by t |e authority of the
kings of Scotland. Subsoquei ily, it seems to have
been a eat of one of the pisl ps of the isles.
It is remarkabl ,as the wri er in the Register
observes, that so little should e known or said of |
lona in modern times, after v,l its renown. The i
locality,even, is a terra incog :ita to most persons, j
We have stated that the isiarjl lb*s on the outer !
shore of Mull. The chaniuf between the two I
islands is about half a mi e ii|width, and of diffi
cult navigation, owing to the exi-tonCe of sunken
rocks. lona is two miles and ,a half in length, and
a little more than a mile in oreadth, containing
3,000 Scotch acres. The suit co is uneven, rising
into hills, the most elevated < which is about 400
feel above the level of the se r The soil is easy of
culture. Dr. Johnson descri -d it as remarkably
fruitful. In his time there w: re some hundred in
habitants, of whom he says,; '.n no very flattering
terms certainly.—they are oJcedingly gross, and
almost entirely neglected. ifunow not if they arc
visited by any minister. T1 island, which was
once the metropolis of learni g and piety, has now
no school for education, nor temple for worship,
only two inhabitants that cr i speak English, and
not one that can wi ire or rea \
Such are the clianges a fe ; centuries produce;
such the vanity of all the iagnificence and re
nown of earth. Truly o: e ' night moralize even
now, over the “ruins of lon , .”

a kright of the birchen rod I “can you decline a

perplexed courtesy,“l canl-but I hate to most

fI’IHE pn sent flourishing trade, and the growing
importance ofliaraburg in a commercial point
of view, fully authorize the establishment of such

a vehicle of trade and intelligence. Every effort
will be made to render the Journal entirely ac
ceptable to the liberal andenterj rizrngcommunity,
for whose patronage it presents itself. Political
facts will bfe given to the public as matter of news;

be carefully excluded from our columns. Partic
ular attention wi.l be given to the state of the
Markets at home and abroad, and we shall furnish
regularly corrected lists of the prices current al
Hamburg, Augusta and Chaileston. as well as co
pious extracts from the Trade Lists of the North
ern cities. Our extensive mail facilities will give
us intelligence from evory part of the Union at the
latest possible dates; and the means they will al
so afford us of transmitting our paper speedily to
every post-office throughout the South and South-
West, will make the Journal useful and valuable
to the business-men of these sections of our great
country, and we shall look with confidence for
patronage at their hands We shall endeavor to
rind a place in-our columns for. every thing of in
terest to the business classes of the people and the
community generally; and, in short, no expense or
labor shall be spaced ta render the Jsutnal a truly
valuable paper, and in ewry way worthy of the
,- avor and support we now solicit foe it.

lal will be pHnteJ twice a week, with g«od type,
>n a beautiful while paper of aa extra-imperial
size.
