SALUTATION TO AMERICA.
Land of the beautiful, land of the free,
Often my heart had turned, longing to thee ;
ir Often had mountain, lake, torrent, and stream
Gleamed on ray waking thought, crowded my dream ;
Now thou receives! mo from the broad sea,
Land of the beautiful, land of the free !
Fair to the eye, in thy grandeur thou art;
O doubly fair, doubly dear to the heart!
For to the exiled, the trodden, the poor,
Through the wide world, thou hast opened thy door ;
Millions crowd in, and are welcomed by thee —
Land of the beautiful, land of the free !
Land of the Future ! Here Art shall repair—
Kinder thy gale than her own Grecian air !
Since her true votaries ever have found
Lifty desert by America crowned !
Where, in her pride, should she dwell but with thee 7
Land of the beautiful, land of the free!
Sculpture for thee shall immortalise Form ;
Painting illumine, and Poetry warm ;
M usic devote all her fervors divine
To a heart service at Liberty’s shrine,
Till all thy gifts doubly precious shall be,
Land of the beautiful, land of the free !
Hail! then, Republic of Washington, hail !
Never may star of thy Union wax pale !
Hope of the world ! may each omen of ill
Fade in the light of thy destiny still ;
■June bring but increase and honor to thee.
Land of the beautiful, land of the free !
Touching Story.—The London Sailors’
Magazine contains a statement, copied from a
Moravian paper at Labrador, of the wreck of
an English vessel—the Graham—in Hudson’s
Bay, and the hardships and privations of a por
** tion of the crew during a lonelv voyage in
ip their boats, of nearly eight hundred miles, to
one of the outermost islands in the Bay ofOk
ak. Here they were approached by two Es
quimaux ‘‘savages,” in their kayaks. At first
the sight of them inspired alarm, but upon an
examination of their countenances, the Cap
tain was induced to believe they were not ill
disposed. On nearing the shore, they found
four Esquimaux families had their dwelling
there. The Esquimaux, on seeing the destitute
condition of the shipwrecked voyagers, gave
them a large cod-fish, and invited them on
shore. But not altogether relieved of appre
hension, they did not venture at once to ac
cept the invitation.
At length the few that were able to walk
went on shore, where they heard the woman
channting, as they afterwards learned, a hymn
of praise to God for their deliverance ; saw
them afterwards engaged in washing their
clothes ; and presently preparing a meal of
* - fish and seal ’s flesh for their refreshment ; ‘he
hardy mariners were overcome, says the wri
ter, and burst into tears. The secret of lhi«
conduct was in the fact that a Christian mis
sion had been established, long before, on that
dreary coast, and thus “icy Labrador” respond
ed to the benign influence of Christianity-
A Model Stove. —ln section No. 9, Quin
cy Hail, the latest improvement in the Stove
line which has come under our notice is that
for which letters patent have just issued to
Messrs. Jewett & Root, of the Eagle Furnace,
Buffalo. N. Y.. for their “ Folding Door Parlor
Stove,” designed either for wood or coal. It
combines both beauty and utility in an emi
nent degree. It is arranged with Blowers,
which are folded in a pocket and covered with
a case door, when not in use. They are closed
on either side of the grate, and swinging upon
hinges, when opened fall into a recess, over
which is an outer door corresponding with
and forming a part of the from of the stove,
which entirely covers them from view. This
convenient and original arrangement, forwhich
the patent was granted, avoids all trouble of
handing loose blowers. No soot or ashes find
their way to the floor or carpet, and the stove
presents the same appearance whether the
blowers are in use or snugly hidden away in
the pocket. It can be used as an open or close
stove, as occasion may require, and canaccom
module itself to a strong or light draught chim
ney, and by its having a double set of blowers,
a full or half draught can be given, as may be
desired. It thus combines all the advantages
of the heat and convenience of the stove,
with the pleasantness of the fire-place—a desid
eratum which has long been sought after by
stove men. We understand rights will be sold
for those sections of the United States which
will not interfere with the interest of the pro
prietors.—Boston Transcript.
Something must be done.— The editor of
the Providence Journal, in a satirical article
on the subject of publishers of newspapers
working for nothing and finding themselves,
says :
“ We have noticed several atrocious cases
where editors had the audacity to demand pay
for cost of publishing matters of the high
est public importance, such as resolu
tions of thanks to steamboat captains, puffs
of new schools, ward meetings" marriages,
Mand obituary notices of infant children. Some
thing must be done to put a stop to this, or
editors will soon begin to think that they have
the same rights as other people.”
I The Submarine Telegraph between Dover
and Calais was laid during the last week of
August, and England is now connected with
the continent telegraphically. The operafon
of laying the wires was performed bv the aid
of a steamer. Between the paddle-wheels, in
the centre of the vessel, was a gigantic drum
or wheel, nearly fifteen feet long, and seven
feet in diameter, weighing seven tons, and
fixed on a strong framework. Upon it, was
coiled up, in careful, close convolutions, about
thirty miles of telegraphic wire, one tenth of
an inch in diameter, encased in a covering of
gotta percha, the thickness of a little finger.
The point proposed to be reached—Cape
Grinez—the nearest landmaik to the English
Coast, and between Calais and Boulogne, is a
distance of 21 miles, so that a surplus supply
of 9 miles ot wire was held in reserve for
the purpose of slackening. The route was
B|p|Arked by a series of pilot buoys The ves
sel steamed out at the rate of three or four
miles an hour into the open sea, in a direct
track for Cape Grinez. The operation of
paying out the thirty miles of wire commenced
on a signal to the sailors to “ go ahead with
the wheel, and pay out the wire.” which was
continuously streamed out over a roller at the
stern of the vessel, the men, at every 16th of
a mile, being busily engaged in riveting on to
the wlrd squarh leaden dathpa of weights ol
from 15 to*2s lbs., which had the effect of
sinking the wire in the bottom of the sea,
which, on the English coast, commences at a
depth of 30 feet, and goes on varying from
that to 100 and 180 feet. The whole of the
casting out and sinking was accomplished
with great precision and success, owing to the
favorable state of the day. This is the most
extensive experiment yet made in carrying the
telegraph under water.

Opinions of the Press.
We might fill our paper with extracts from
the journals of the South, of both political
parties, expressing their deep and heartfelt
gratification at the settlement by Congress of
the agitating questions of the day, but we can
not without prejudice to our usual variety
give place to them. We may, however, be
pardoned for transfering to our columns the
following from the “ Richmond (Va.) Enqui
rer,” a paper that basso long held such promi
nent rank among the democracy of the South:
“ We have but little room to-day for comments
on the copious and important facts which we spread
before our readers. The last week was one of the
most momentous in the history of this great confede
racy. The Housj, after exhibiting a spirit of fac
tion and a trifling with the highest destinies of man
kind, unworthy of the Representatives of a free and
enlightened people, finally, and with sudden alacrity,
came up to the work before them. On Friday they
passed me Texas and the New Me !can bills con
jointly —and on the next day (Saturday) the Califor
nia bill by 84 majority and the Utah bill by 9 majori •
ty. The struggle has been intense, and the result
most momentous. Por a long time the dark angel of
disunion hovered over our land—but the events of the
past few days have chated away the lurid spirit, the
skies have brightened, and the patriot breathes free
once more, at the prospect of the continued peace
and progress of the,free institutions of this, the only
genuine Republic on the face of the globe. While
we are free to say, that some things have gone far
differently from what we had hoped, yet, in review
ing the enormous difficulties in the path, we cannot
but conclude that the people generally will acquiesce
in the settlement of the slavery question, taken as a
whole.
e ask attention to the proceedings of Saturday ,
which we give at length. They require no expla
nation. The salient points will strike the attention
of the intelligent reader. We confess our surprise
that the California bill has passed so easily. We
had expected that its opponents would have coalesced
to emba tressif not defeat it, by parliamentary ma
neuvering. The attempt was made twice, but only
ten votes could be rallied to the call of the yeas and
nays, to effect the obj. ct. We have all the time
been satified that the bill had such strength that it
must pass, (It received, indeed, the votes of 21
members from slaveholding states!) Our only hope
was that the limits of the s‘ ite might have been re
duced —and we have more than once expressed the
belief that such a result could have been attained,
had not the adjustment been so uncompromisingly
resisted in the Senate. It is proper to add, that many
southern men, (Mr. Toombs among them) prefer the
admCdon of California with her present boundaries
—on the ground that, if she were divided, the two
states would send four free-soil Senators, instead of
tico as at present. Again, it is believed by many,
that slave labor will be found to be advantageous for
the working of the mines, and that, to attain that ob
ject, the people of California will amend (heir Con
stitution accordingly—self-interest being the rule of
action.
“ Os course we may expect fierce denunciation, in
some quarters, of the whole batch of measures which
have passed Congress, and which, we believe, will
crush Northern fanaticism, by removing the pabulum
upon which they rioted. * ♦ ♦ * Upon
a settlement of the irritating questions which have
perilled the Union, we trust that a good spirit will
animate the two sections of the Union—that fanati
cism will be put down at tha North, and that a more
just regard for Southern rights will infuse itselfinto
the Northern portion of the confederacy. We have
happily escaped from the precipice of disunion. Let
the North gather an useful lesson from what has just
passed, and learn to practice more justice and regard
for our constitutional rights.”
But we have seen no journal which seemed
to feel greater joy, than the Florence Ala.,
Gazelle, one of the leading Democratic jour
nals of North Alabama. The editor seems to
have been thrown into an ecstacy of delight.
Hear him :
*■ We are too happy this week to write Editorial.
Ail we can say is, that the compromise bills have
passed—the Union is saved, and Rhetlites and dis
unionites are numbered among the things that were.
If we were not the big dog among tho Sons of Tem
perance—we should unquestionably take a spree.
Friends, rejoice with exceeding great joy.”
The Tuscaloosa Flag, another prominent
and Jeadicg organ of the Democratic party of
that State, remarks:
“ California is admitted as a State, the Texas Bill,
the New Mexico and Utah Bills, without the Wil
mot proviso, have become laws before this time.
While we deeply deplore the admission of California
v. ith her enormous limits, and could have wished
that other counsels on this matter could have pre
vailed, we wish it distinctly understood that we
are not among those who would dissolve the Union
on that account. The whole matter of admitting
California we believe to have been informal, to say
the least, and was unwisely hastened by executwe
interference. But other States have been admitted
without passing through the preparatory steps, and
though we tnir.k both Congress and the last adminis
tration are highly to blame, the one for improper in
terference, the other for not reducing her limits we
repeat it, that we are not in favor of a dissolution of
the Union for this reason alone.
“We are firm believers in the resolutions of’9B
and ’99—and guided by them, we do not think this
action of Congress so “dangerous” in its tendency as
to call upon the South for the ‘extreme physic’ of
secession. The remedy of State interposition ac
cording to Mr. Madison, Is only to he invoked by the
States on‘occasions deeply and essentially affecting
the vital principles of their political system. Acting
then upon the principles thus laid down, we are not
in favor of a separation of the Union, because Cali
fornia is admired into the Union. Though its ad
mission may be illegal and unconstitutional, still it
is not in our opinion, sufficient cause for destroying
the confederacy.
“ The Texas Bill, as we understand it, if accepta
ble to her, should unhesitatingly be accepted by the
Southern people. Fur the surrender to the United
States of a portion of her Territory in the North
Western part of the State—whicl though large, is
yet but a very small portion of her vast domain —she
is to receive $10,000,000 to be paid her by the United
States. This is not only highly beneficial to Texas,
but will tend g eatly to strengthen the South and her
institutions. Texas it will be remembered has never
ceded her public lands to the U. States, but reserv
ed them as fund to pay off the debt created when
she was a separate Government. She, for a surren
der of but a small portion of her Territory, receives
enough to discharge her public debt, and will retain
for her own use the bulk of her vast domain. This
will p;t her in a condition which will invite emigra
tion from every part of the country —the extent and
fertility of her soil—the cheapness of her lands—the
exemption from high tuxes, will form inducements
to settlers, such as no new stale has ever held out,
and we may speedily look to see the State divided
into several new slave Slates. In this view we re
gard tho Texas Bill as a decided benefit, to the South
—and look upon it as the future means of strength
ening our institutions.
Upon the whole, we are glad the troublesome
question is settled, and we shall rejoice if it be the
means of restoring harmony to a distracted country.
Governor Quitman of Mississippi, has ap

The following is the act of the last Legisla
ture under which the Governor is expected to
call a Convention :
An Act to authorize and require the Governor of
the State of Georgia tj call a Convention of the
;people of this State, and to appropriate money
for the same.
Whereas, the non-slaveholding States have for a
series of years perseveringly interfered most wrong
fully with the institution of slavery at the South, by
such aggressive measures of interference as to ren
der it no longer a question of doubt that the Federal
Legislature will soon adopt such restrictive measures
against the institution of slavery as to trammel, fetter,
and confine it within certain geographical limits never
contemplated by the original parties to the constitu
tional compact; and whereas Georgia, in her sove
reign capacity as a State, has delegated no other
power to the Federal Government than those found
in the Constitution of the United States, and believ
ing that her best interests, and her honor as a sove
reign and independent government, require that she
should meet all encroachments in a calm and manly
spirit of resistance:
Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the State of Georgia, in Gen
eral Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the
authority of the same, That should the Congress of
the United States pass any law prohibiting slavery
or involuntary servitude in any territory of the
United Slates, or any law abolishing slavery in
the District of Columbia, or any law prohibiting the
slave trade between the States where slavery may
exist, or admit into the United States as a State of the
Confederacy the sparsely peopled Territory of Cali
fornia and New Mexico, or should the Governor of
this State receive at anytime satisfactory evidence
that any slave or slaves having escaped from this
State, and that such slave or slaves is or are refused
to be given up to the proper owner, by the authority
of the State in which such fugitive or fugitives may
be found, then, or in either of the foregoing events, it
shall be and it is hereby made the duty of the Gover
nor of this State, within sixty days thereafter, to issue
his proclamation, ordering an election to be held in
each and every county to a Convention of the people
of this State, to convene at the Seat of Government
within twenty days after said election.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the coun
ties now entitled to two Representatives in the House
of Representatives of the General Assembly of this
State, shall each be entitled and shad elect four de
legates to said Convention, and the counties which
are entitled to one representative shall elect two dele
gates to said Convention.
Sec. 3. An 1 be it further enated, That said elec
tion for delegates shall be conducted and held in the
same manner as elections for members of the Legisla
ture now held in this State, and that all returns of
elections shall be forwarded to the Governor of this
State, who shall upon application furnish each dele
gate elected with certificates of election.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the sum
of thirty thousand dollars be and the same is hereby
appropriated out of any money in the Treasury, for
the purpose of defraying the expenses of said Conven

by vote regulate their per diem pay and mileage.

For the Chronicle 8? Sentinel.
The authoritative statement in the last Fede
ral Union, leaves no doubt but that Gov.
Towns will call the Convention contemplated
by the act of the last Legislature, to consider
what mode and measure of redress Georgia
should adopt, because of the admission of
California. Approving as I do the course
pursued by our Senators in Congress, and by
our Representatives, Stephens,Toombs, Cobb,
Owen and Wellborn, upon the questions
which have arisen out of our Territorial ac
quisitions from Mexico, I would suggest to
the several Counties in which these gentle
men reside, the propriety of sending them as
delegates to the Convention. They have re
presented Georgia in Congress with fidelity
and ability, they understand the questions at
issue, and the true interests of Georgia—they
are at the same time attached to the Union of
the Slates, and the rights of the South—their
voices should be heard in the Convention.

A NEW GRAPE.
The Lincolnton (N. C.) Republican, gives
the following account of a new Grape Vine,
called the Lincoln Grape, from its being first
found iu that county, and which as now attract
ing much attention.
A few days since, we accompanied our friend, Dr.
Butt, into his Vineyard, which has been planted and
brought to its present highly productive condition all
within three or four years. The sight presealed to
us, on catering, would have thrown an excitable
epicure into ecstaiics. Although there appeared to
be a little too much shade to admit of abundant
growth, and the ripening process in its highest per
fection, yet the large, full, rich clusters, apparently
resting on each other, hung, in a luscious profuse
mass, all over and among the thrifty vines.
The Doctor has not less than twenty-five or thirty
varieties—the Catawba and other choice native pro
ductions, the Isabella, the best French Wine, and
some eight or ten others of the most celebrated grapes,
all together presenting a checkered scene of extreme
beauty, ofevery color, from nearly a clear white to
the darkest hue ; but none was to us half so attrac
tive as the deep-blue, though not very large Lincoln
Grape, which has recently been taken from its wild
state in the woods, and cultivated with such surpris
ing success, by Dr. Buttand a few others. The vine
is ot a vigorous growth, and it is far the most prolific
bearer we have ever seen. The bunches are large,
and in general so completely full, that not another
can grow upon the cluster; and the flavor of the
grape is much superior to any other we have evej
tasted. In this we are not singular ; for we are in
formed by the Doctor, that every one of his numerous
visitors, before being informed which is the natural
growth of Lincoln County, invariably selects the
Lincoln Grape as far the most deliciously flavored
of ajl the excellent qualities growing in his vineyard.
The produce of a single vine of the Lincoln G'rapo
growing in this county, is almost incredible. The
quantity is estimated, by a Reverend gentleman of
the first respectability and others who visited it this
season, to be not less than one hundred bushels !
The Lincoln Grape, when its superiority becomes
generally known, promises to become the popular
grape of North America. The growth ofthe vine is
more vigorous, it is a more prolific bearer, the grancs
ripen more evenly, are leas liable to rot, aud the fla
vor is much finer than any other cultivated here • but
how much of this ia owing toils adaptation to’this
soil and climate, of which it is a native, we are not
prepared to say. If like the Catawba, which is also
a native of Lincoln county, it flourishes elsewhere as
well, its cultivation will, in a very short time, become
general.
Too much credit cannot be awarded to Dr Butt
for the the pains he Uas taken to excite an interest in
the science of horticulture, aud in the cultivation of
the soil generally.

From the Columbus Enquirer,
The Convention,
It is generally supposed that the Governor
will call a Convention, and in view of such an
event there is beginning to manifest itself a
small caving in on the part of the disunionists
They have found that the people will not stand
their wild and dangerous doctrines, and will
not send delegates to that Convention who are
bent on the destruction of the government.
Hence they have attempted to ease off on se
cession,then to compromise or non intercourse
and finally some of them are liberal enough to
leave the mode and measure of redress to the
discretion of the Convention. Well this is
hauling in your horns smartly. But are the
people so green as to be humbugged by any
such stuff? The Governor is not authorized
to call a Convention except by straining the
law of the last legislature to meet the simple
and single fact that California has been admit
ted as a Slate. What can the Convention do
that will alter the condition of that State ? Will
its members be guilty of the folly of attempting
to repeat or set aside the law bv which she was
admitted 1 Surely not. What then will they
do ? This is the question that the people must
look well to, for its action will depend entirely
on the kind of men that are sent to represent
us there. It is openly avowed by the more
unscrupulous of the disunionists that Georgia
ought to withdraw at once. Well the Con
vention is the only agency by which she can be
torn from her sister States, and if a majority of
its members are of the right stamp this nefarious
purpose will be consummated.
Now it is the received opinion that whatso
ever the Convention may do, will be binding
on the people, that ai! must submit to its ac
tion and abide their fate under its decision. If
this be true, how all important it is that we as
certain well what the delegates selected intend
to do. There should be no foul plavi n the
matter. If Georgia is ripe for disunion and
her people desire to experience the penis of
such a fate, they have nothing to do but fill
that convention with the turbulent and dissat
isfied spirits that have labored for months to
prepare the public mind for anarchy, blood,
and final despotism. But we will not insult
our fellow citizens by such an insinuation.
They know the value of the government un
der which they live, and we are not afraid that
they will commit the destinies of government
to a set of men who are laboring to destroy it.
They will do no such thing.
but it is tauntingly asked if Georgia will
back out from her position, and if her people
will deliberately repudiate her own act 7 The
answer is at hand. The people have not spo
ken on the subject; they never authorized the
Legislature to call a Convention either to se
cede from the Union, or dissolve it. Bui art
ful and designing men have discovered of late
that this Convention may be converted into
an engine powerful enough to destroy this
Government, and strong enough to crush the
resistance of the people. But there is a mis
take in this. Coming events have cast their
shadows over the laud, and the people are now
beginning to see in the half way gloom around
them the ultimate intentions &f their very par
ticular friends. The time then to resist the
movements no \v on foot, is when the dele
gates are selected. Send to that Convention
the disciples of Rhett and others of his kidney,
am l what will you have to hope for but that
awful condition beyond which there is nothing
but the gloom of despair ? VVe speak to the
happy nd prosperous farmers of tl.ecountry,
who scarcely know, by its weight, that there is
a government at all. VVe speak to the me
chanics, who have plenty of work and get well
paid lor it. VVe speak to the merchants,
whose commercial relations extending far and
wide, enable them to see and feel the untold
and incalculable ruin that would follow in the
t:ain of civil commotion. VVe speak to each
and every one, and ask if they can hope to bet
ter their condition by slabbing off and joining
some little confederacy ? If not, look well to
what you do. There are men openly for dis
union-men. who if they had the power, would
drive from the State or hang every mother’s
son who has the independence to differ with
them. Send such men to the Convention, and
what may the country expect of them when
clothed with such tremendous power ? Will
they regard the peace of your families, or the
safety of your property as of any consequence,
provided they can carry out their schemes?
Not they. Although we are not in the habit
ofdictating to our fellow-citizens, yet we feel
that the present is an occasion full enough of
danger to warn them again to look well to the
future.

in that immortal mind, there are no riches
more valuable than ail thy coffers of gold ?
May he not be rich in the wealth ofloving
hearts and sweet smiles? And is he not rich
in the beauties of nature —is not all the earlhjhis
to enjoy ? And how knowest but the “pearl
ofgreat price” is his, compared to which all
thy wealth is as the small dust of the balance ?
“He is a poor man.” And so raayest thou be
to-morrow. A day, yea an hour, may strip thee
ol thy possessions, and doom thee to beggary.
Thy riches are uncertain, tnou canst not cal
culate upon them. And even if they follow
thee through life, there is a moment when in
respect to this world thou wilt be as poor as
thy neighbor.
It is the moment of death. Thou canst not
carry thy goods with thee ; they would sink
thee in the dark river.
Again thou sayest, “ He is a poor man.”
And was not the master of ns all poor ? Were
not his followers and friends among earth’s
destitute ones ? And if thou art sa* ed at last,
will it not be through humble reliance upon
him who had not “ where to lay his head ? ”
And art thou ashamed of those in the same
humble and yet honored condition / Must
not thou become “ poor in sprit,” before thou
canst inherit eternal glory 7 Little then does
it become thee, because thou hast a few mere
grains of golden dust than thy neighbor, to
exult and triumph over him, to pass him by
with a sneer, or even with coldness and ue

Hi” For Incipient Consumption, we know
of no better remedy than Wistar’s BALSAM OF
WILD CHERRY. It is soothing and healing in its
nature, and is admirably adapted to allay and dissi
pate that annoying and distressing irritation which
so much prevails at this season of the year, caused by
coughs, colds, and chills, brought on by frequent and
sudden changes of the weather. We know of seve
ral severe cases which have been radically cured by
the use of this Balsam. Some two years since a
frieid of ours was eulTering under what was thought
to be confirmed consumption—a severe cough, loss of
appetite, night sweats, &c. By the use of the Bal
sam, he dispelled these alarming encroachments, and
is now in the enjoyment of comparative good health,
New England Washingtonian, Boston.
LOST VOICE RESTORED!
New Bedford, Aug. 10, 1948.
Mr. S. W. Fowie; —Having seen many certifi
cates published in relation to Dr. Wistar’s Balsam
of Wild Cherry, I take this opportunity of offering
u word in its favor, which you a;e also at liberty to
publish. A few months since my wife’s lungs be
came so much affected by u sudden cold, that she
lost, her voice, and suffered severely from pains in the
breast. Her situation caused her friends much
alarm. Having heard your Balsam strongly recom
mended by those wno had used it, I purchased a bot
tle of your agent in this place. She took it accord
ing to directions, and it produced a wonderful effect.
Before using one bottle >he had completely recovered
her voice, the pains subsided, and her health was
soon fully restored. Yours truly.
