For earth seams nearer on tbia day,
To you bright world ao fair.

Aad eland* aaaui flitting fame.
That leaving Heaven bend o’ar earth,
To shield na from life’s storm*.
To woe oar heart* from earth away.
To seek a borne above,
Where ne’er a sinful thought intrudes—
Where all le joy and love;
Where angel harpers, clothed la redd,
Kneel round the jewelled Throne—
Where eed farewell* are never heard
And parting* never known,

»Ti* Sabbath’s h. ly even time !
And silence walks I he earth,
While ad around, above, below.
To sac ted thought rive* birth—
To thought* that wi dly flitting back,
Gaze sadly o’er the part,
flee ailing sorrows long since fled,
Or joy* too sweet to last.
Te thoughts that vainly seek to pierce
The future** unknown ''ate.
While Hope’s bright finger points u* on
To Henvrn’s pearly gate—
To thoughts that lead us to the time
W# say to earth farewell!
Hoping to meet our murk loved friends
Where saints and angels dwell.
To the great thought that God ha* given
To man alone eternal life—
That alt hi* other work* decay.
Though with such grace and beauty rife.
To man ! the term from Paradise !
Planted bv God’s sternal hand !
fledeemed by Christ from sin and death.
To Join in Heavan an angel band.

AUTUMN LEAVES.
Oh, Autumn leavea !
bummer's bright roaos one by one have past:
Oou* ia the beauty of the golden sheaves;
Ye come at lart,
Prophets of winter hours approaching &»t'
Oh, Autumn leaves'
Why look y* thus bo brilliant in decay ?
Why, for the dying year when Nature grieves,
Are ye so gay , . , ,
With rieher hue* than grace her op ntng day r
Oh, Autumn loaves!
Te, as y* don vour crimson robes of mirth,
While dull decay a moment scarce reprieves
Your form* from earth —
Ye tall us, happier Car is death than birth'
Oh, Autumn leaves'
Lika you the dying saint in splendor grows ;
With oaeh faint pulse of life that feebly heaves
At evening's close,
Uta ev'ry graoo with added glory grows.
Oh, Autumn leaves 1
Like yeu he caats aside all hue* of gloom,
And of hi* bright ning hopes a chaplet weave
That o’er hi* tomb
Threw* the glad promise of eternal bloom.
America —European Conflicts.
I, commenting upon the speech made by the
fleu. R. J- Walker, at Southampton, at the
KoeetTTW festival, the London Newt makes the
following remark*;
“The great fact which opens a new era in the
history of Europe i*, the leadiness—we may add,
IhaaagernaM—of the people, and consequently
of government of the United States, to come
forward and take part in those struggles which
convulsed Europe, and which affect even the
umpire of Asia. Hitherto the Americans have
L msta afvaatator* nf European orenta, It Is
but true to add, that, a* spectators, their desires,
rather went against Great Britain than for it
Wcauas the American* could not but see that the
power of Great Britain during the war, and for a
longtime alter it, was directed rather to the sup
port of despotism than in hostility to it, A long
period ha* now elapsed during which not only
the sympathies of - the Englishmen, but the el
forte of their government, have been miinly on
tha right aide.
u 'voesuth’s appearance and character have
advanced, by pernaps half a century, the period
when the United State* were to fling the sword
and trident into the European balance of power.
This they have already done. The vote of Con
greea in favor of Kossuth, the vessel sent to re
ceive and take him to constitutional land, the
Separations for his personal reception, the en
usiasm of public opinion, necessarily embodied
and expressed in the opinions of all those who
kava Ailed, or hope to ml, offices of importance
ia tka United States, all indicate that if, within
tha last century, Russia has sprung up like a
eulousut, to uphold the victoriously waving ban
ker of despotism, and that with a consistency,
a determination, and a power, which France and
Ragland, the natural antagonists of such a prin
pla, want the courage or the unity to combat, a
power, equally collossal with Russia, equally
ardent, baa aprung up in another hemisphere, to
raise the standard antagonistic to Russia, zealous
so ery u *top’, to the aggressive march of despo
tism.’’
The Baltimore American copies the above, and
▼ery justly adds:
A new era will no doubt be opened in the his
tory of Europe when the United States shall
etaad forth to take part in European struggles
aad conflicts. But when is that time to come?
!• it near at hand or afar off? We have as yet
room enough to grow, to expand, to develope the
elements of our political being, without being in
terfered with by the pretensions of European
power*. The antagonism which exists between
oar republican system and that of European des
potism may Wing on a collision whenever the
two shall come in contact on any matter involv
ing rival claims or interests. But are we to
move forward to makes crisisof this Kind when
•one presents itself* Are we to step in be
tween conflicting parties or nations in Europe
In a quarrel which is theirs and not ours ?
Our republicanism is dear to ns as a people.
We are accustomed to identify it with Liberty,
nad to regard the latter a* impossible without
the former. But where does such republicanism
us sera exist in Europe ? Nay, let the question
§s farther, and let ua ask ouraelvea where ia it
froheUe that, under any circumstances, it can
exist in Europe ? If we are to fight for other
people, let us at least know what we are to
aghl for. \
If England and France are deeply and directly
lot created in dapping the onward progress e t
R sedan aggrandisement, it is for them to prove
their claim to republican sympathy, before they
aaa expect to hare it allowed. They want the
oourage or the uniter, says the London Journal,
to atandop against Russia. If so, they deserve
to foil, and do not deserve to have their battles
tough! for them by Americans. Their want of
eoarage or of unity i* in proof of their want of
fidelity to Hie principle of freedom and self-gov
ernment.
How can we best promote the cause of liberty
and el mankind * By attending to spread re
publicanism ia other countries or by taking care
®f it at home * Shall we pour new wine into
old bottles f Behold bow the sufferers under op
pression crowd to oar shores I They seek for
freedom where it is to be found, is it not a
fa addon sufficiently high and noble to proffer, as
w* do, aa asylum to the fugitives from tyranny
*ll toe world over? Here liberty abides ; here
• her choeen temple; let her rotaries come to it
n they woeld enjoy her presence and her bles
y called upon to carry her rite*
*“• •** w toahip into temples where idols are set
- inUrfore nee „ it that Kossuth
OlMtts from SB ia the affair* of Europe? Not
that we should fight the battles of Hungary, if
aha should aiaa epagaia in a straggle for deliver
ance from Austrian rule ■ but that this country,
in common with Great Britain, should command
fair itlay and see that Russia should not interfere
to atd Austria ia the strife. If Russia in behalf
of tha canse of despotism chooses to interfere to
aid in putting down toe independence of Hun
gary. then tha appfcal is to toe liberal nations of
the world to interfere in behalf of the cause ol
freedom and to repel Russian interposition. The
result of aoutae would be war—-and it is this we
hare to consider, and along with it we have to
consider bow fmi England and France, if they
■tJuiLl hs disnowdite move in such a business,
have a right to expect us to be their allies. They
are both at this moment united in a coalition
with Spain against us— as the French President
with an appearance of complacency announces
in his recent Massage. If thev should interfere
in behalf of Hungary, it would not be tor the
sake of freedom in Hungary. Not at all; we
need not be deceived on that point. They would
interfere because of their dread of the growing
power ol the Czar, which they fear, as they also
fear tbe growing power of this Republic. They
would be willing no doubt to have us come in to
aid them in maintaining the balance of power in
Europe, which they would take care to adjust,
if we gave them the power to do so, with as lit
tle regard for freedom as was shown by the Holy
Alliance in 1815. But we do not believe that
they will stir a foot against Russia, if Hungary
and Italy should both rise against the power of
Austria and demonstrate their ability to throw it
off. if Russia could be kept neutral. Nobody
supposes that Russia would stand aloof She
would send her Cossacks again, as she did be
fore; and England and France, without ‘‘the
courage or unity to combat,” would stand silent
ly by as they did before and see Hungary and
Italy crushed again.
““ AUGUSTA, GAT
SUNDAY MORNING, NOV. 30.
Proprietors of Warehouses in this city
and Hamburg,will much oblige us by having the
stock of cotton in their respective Warehouses
carefully counted for us to-morrow morning.
Taa Tax Laws or Gkoroia —The taxes of the State
of Georgia, as now levied, are a disgrace to the statutes
of the State. An enterprising industrions merchant
living in one of our incorporated village* is taxed en
ormously in proportion to the wealthy planter, who
perhaps live* adjoining the corporated limit* of the
Town or village. If tbe merchant owns a Morehouse
worth $3,000 a dwelling worth SI,OOO. 6 negroes worth
$3,000, a stock of goods at cost, at 10,000, in Morgan
county, his Ux this year, $101.25. A planter owns 100
negroe*, 3.000 acre* of land, he is worth perhaps four
time* a* much a* rhe merchant, whilst his tax i* only
about $54,000.
It is wrong—radically wrong. Our Legislature will
certainly regulate this intolerable state of things. Let
every man pay' a tax. in addition to his poll tax, upon
what h* is really worth—let him give it in on oath.
Some would through meanness and stinginess give in
their value below what it really is—but again, many
through false pride.would do it for more than they are
worth, so fn the end nothing would be lost, and things
would in the wav of taxation be made upon all people
alike. ' Bbstuam.
The facts stated in the above communication,
which we clip from the Madison / isttor , are un
fortunately for the reputation of Georgia legisla
tion, but too true.
The inequality of taxation upon tho citizens of a
State, where there ia no other object to be pr*mo
ted than the support of the State goveremont is
an evil of no ordinary magnitude, and should com
mand tho highest energies and abilities of tho Leg
islature for it* correction. There is no justice in a
system that taxes one citizen more than another
where all are equally protected in person and pro
perly and where all boar equally the other bur
thens and duties of the citizen ; and there can be
no sound or sufficient reason offered to sustain such
a system. It is, therefore,' certainly a reproach if
not a “disgrace'' to the legislation of tho State.
“Bentham” has correctly stated the disparity
between tho amount* paid by the Merchant and
Planter in the cases supposed. Can there bo any
sufficient reason offered to justify such a disparity ?
We think not.
The planter with his hundred Negroes and cor
responding wealth, certainly derives greator protec
tion to property from tho government, than his
less wealthy neighbor, tho merchant, who. notwith
standing, pays double tho amount of taxes. This
should not bo,
Under a well regulated system of taxation, every
man should pay something for tho protection of his
person by tho government; hence, the justice of his
paying a poll tax. And it is equally proper that the
holders of property, should pay in proportion to
tho protection they receive to their property, which
can only be justly assessed by requiring each to pay
according to his worth —no matter in what that
worth consists, whether it bo merchandise, cash,
stocks, money at interest, Negroes, lands or cattle.
Great as the disparity is, in tho case presented by
Bentham, it by no means exhibits a ease of tho
greatest disparity that exists under our system of
taxation. For instance, if a man were worth a
hundred thousand dollars in cattle, horses, hogs or
ehoep, or even in money hoarded up which he would
| not place at interest, he would pay only a poll tax
which in ao case exceeds a dollar, while tho mer
chant mentioned by Bentham, would pay over one
[ hundred dollars, and possibly might owe as much
i money as his entire property was worth. It is
therefore possible, under our tax laws, for a man
who is really worth nothing to pay a hundred fold as
1 more for tho support of the State thanthe citizen who
is worth one hnndred thousand dollars. This
1 seems a most extravagant abortion, yet it is never
theless true.
i That such a system is just or equitable, we pro
■ tome no sane man will oven pretend to assort.
* Why then should it continue to “disgrace " our
statute books ?
s Protestantism in Italy. —Tho Corner Stono
of the first and only free Protestant church in Italy,
‘ was laid in Turin on tho 31st October last in the
’ presence of a large and highly interested audience,
j Tho fact that in Sardinia alone of all tho Italian
i States this interesting ceremony would be tolerated,
t not only shows tbe devotion of the people to Calho
-1 Ucism, but also marks the progress however slow, of
r civil and religious freedom in Sardinia. This is
J one of tho immediata consequences ot the change
. in their Constitution some three years ago, by
t which religious freedom is guaranteed to tho citi
tec.
J The site of the Church is *n the most fashiona
' bl* avenue in tbe city, and the building it is said
I will be quite an ornament to it. The ground cost
l 80,000 franc* and has been paid for.
South Carolina Shoe Factory.
We take pleasure in calling the attention of
the public to the advertisement of A. Lafitt
announcing hi* agency of the South Carolina
Shoe |F*ctory. It behoves the South to sup
port and sustain these establishments, and
we hope the planters and the trade will call and
examine his stock.
1 Dkstructivi fir* in Nashville. —On the

The above works are from the press of Messrs-
Harpers & Brothers, New’ York.
We have also received from Messrs. Geo. A
Oates & Co., a copy of the Address delivered by
the|Hon. George R. Gilmer, before the Society of
Almuni, of Athens College.
Later from Buenos Ayres. — By the arrival
at Southampton, of the steamer Severn, advices
had been received from Buenos Ayres to Octo
ber -4th, Montevideo to the 6th, and Rio Janeiro
to the 15th. ,
The Brazilian troops had marched into Monte
video, to assist the Montevidians. Oribe, it was j
said, was hemmed in between Montevideo and
the troops of Urquiza, and at the last dates, was j
arranging terms for surrendering, and which it j
was supposed would be accomplished by himself j
and staff receiving passports for Buenos Ayres, |
and his troops to be made prisoners. Oribe i
wished passports for all, but this was refused.
It was reported that Oribe had escaped on
board the ship Swede, and that his troops had
been taken prisoners.
The brig L. Baldwin, mentioned yesterday as
having gone ashore on the 21st inst, on the South
Point of Brigantine shoal, was from Charleston
not Savannah, as erroneously stated. She sailed
hence on the 15th inst. We learn likewise that
she w’as insured partly in Charleston as well as in
Wall-street, New’-York.
Philomathea Lodge, No. 25,1
October 27th. A. L. 5851. {
A called meeting of the Lodge was held this
evening, on the occasion of the death ol our bro
ther William U. Bowen.
Having learned with feelings of sincere sor
row of the death ot our devoted and worthy
brother.WiLUAM U. Bowen, we delay not to pay
to his memory that tribute of respect so deser
vedly and justly due.
In the demise of our brother Bowf.n, Masonry
has lost one of her purest members, strictest ad
herents and firmest and most examplary devotees:
He w T as truly a Mason according to the original
design and beauty of the order—his was Mason
ry of the heart—he gloried in the Masonry ol
the Bible. And w’e can all well remember with
profit his apt illustrations and applications of the
sacred word to the designs of our order.
But the Scythe of Time, w’hich spares neither
the wise nor the good, has cut him off, in the
language so familiar to the deceased as a Mason .
“ The silver cord has been loosed, and the golden
bowl broken at the fountain, the dust returns to
the earth as it was, and the spirit has returned
to God who gave it.”
The great architect of the universe has ap
pointed his bounds and he could not pass. Let
us profit by his example a id imitate his virtues,
squaring our actions by the true principles of our
order, that after passing gracefully after our bro
ther down the level of time, our minds may
be fitted as living stores for that house not made
with hands, where all true Masons hope at last
to arrive. Therefore
Resolved , That w e deeply deplore the death of
our worthy brother William U. Bowen, one of
the founders of Philamotha Lodge, and regard
the event not only as a bereavement to our
Lodge, but a loss to Masonry and the community
in which he lived.
Resolved , That we sincerely condole with our
esteemed and worthy brother William B. Bowen
on the melancholy event.
Resolved , That as a token of respect for the
memory of our deceased brother, we will wear
the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
Resolved . That this Lodge will attend on to
morrow to pay the last Masonic funeral rites to
the remains of our deceased brother.
Resolved , That this memorial be entered a
mong the proceedings of the Lodge, and a copy
transmitted to the brother, William B. Bowen.

The German Settlements in Texas. —A pa
per, published in Western Texas, speaking of the
German settlements on Spring Creek, Spring
Branch, at New Braunfels and Fredericksburg,
and in the counties of Austin, Colorado and Fay
ette, says universal evidences of thrift prevail.
Fine samplns of cotton unsurpassed by and are
brought to market from several of their settle
ments. The Spring Creek settlement is produc
ing as good cotton as the State affords, and the
industrious Germans of that neighborhood are
entitled to the credit of establishing the reputa
tion of Spring Creek lands for the production of
as ample a crop and as fine a staple of cotton as
any other uplands in the State.
The New York Calamity. —The evidence
before the coroner’s jury, to investigate the cir
cumstances attending the late accident at the
Greenwich street school, is published in the New
York papers, but no new facts have come to light
yet Miss Harrison, the teacher, whose sudden ill
ness caused the alarm, testified, and her account
of the origin of the alarm is substantially what
we have given. The cry for water, raised by
some of the girls of her class, to revive her, caus
ed the supposition that there was fire. She had
never remarked that the stairs were unsafe, and
had never before an attack like this one.
U. S. Mounted Dragoons. —The Washing
ton correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
says;
A vigorous effort is now making by the War
Department to reduce the expenses of the Quar
ter-master’s Department, which are enormous.
The Secretary of War will undoubtedly recom
mend the mounting of another regiment of Dra
goons, and the establishment of another company
of Light Artillery, (making with those now ex
isting, four, or one for each regiment of Artil
lery) and yet it is believed that the estimates for
the service of the year terminating the 30th of
June, will be fifteen hundred thousand dollars
less than those ol last year.
Schools in France.—The number of com
munal schools in France, according to the French
President's message, has increased somewhat; it
is now 54,930. The communal schools for girls
amount to 10,542. There are 4,522 free schools
for boys, and 11,378 for girls; altogether the pri
mary schools have increased by 306.
Slaves Escapes to the Bahama Islands.—
The following is an extract from a letter re- ]
ceived ill this city, dated: ■
“Miami, (E.F.) Nov. 12, 1851.
“On the 3rd inat., five negro fellows—two of
them belonging to Mrs, A. Sahate of St. Augus* 1
tine, two to Col. W. F. English, and the other to 1
Mr. L. Crawford—stole a sloop of nine tans, be
longing to a Mr. O. W. Ferguson, and made their ]
escape to the Bahama Islands. They bad a fine
moonlight night, and a fair westerly wind to fa* ;
vor the accomplishment of their purpose. One i
of English’s boys had been running the sloop lor
some time between this place and Key West,
and had jnst arrived in the river that night. — j
It being too late when she arrived, they did not
land the supplies belonging to the settlers in
this neighborhood, and therefore made the writer
one among the sufferers by their booty.”—Savan

Serious Accident.—On Wednesday last, a
bank of earth fell suddenly upon Mr. Stevens,

many bruises.— lb.
Quite Accommodating.
[From the West Point ( Ga .) Advocate .]
Mr. Editor .-—Should there be any persons,
who desire to be tied together in the blessed
state of matrimony, we would cite them to our
friend K. J. T. Little, esq., who holds forth at
the Post Office. He has done so much ol the
business lately, that he has become proficient in
the ceremony, and “does up things brown.”—
Nothing deters him from attending to business
of this character, especially, when the parties are
“runaway.” He rises at the hour ol midnight
when the weather is at freezing point, undaun
ted by storms or rain, and flies with alacrity to
perform the pleasing duty of uniting the loving
couple with the silken bands of wedlock. He v
keeps constantly on hand a supply of blank
Marriage Licenses, therefore, those who are dis
posed to tie the knot in defiance of stubborn fa
thers, scolding mama’s, or self-willed guardians,
can be accommodated in the shortest time imag
inable provided they bring a few extra Dimes,
byway of keeping up appearances, not that he
requires or expects it.

Kossuth and the Printers. —The New-
York Typographical Society has appointed a
committee to wait upon Kossuth on his arrival,
with a congratulatory address and an invitation
to attend the Franklin Anniversary dinner of the
Society, which takes place in January.
Kossuth and his Enemies.—lt is stated that
agents of the Austrian despot are engaged in New
York in the work of endeavoring, by the most
insidious means, to poison the minds ol the citi
zens against the illustrious Kossuth, and to in
duce them to believe that the great Magyar is
not only one of the greatest humbugs that ever
existed, but that he is a devil incarnate, devoid
of the feelings of common humanity, cruel and
despotic. The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer says:
“To effect their object, the most infamous
slanders and falsehoods are promulgated in a
quiet way, concerning Kossuth, and such jour
nals as are supposed to be hostile to him, are put in
possession of these falsehoods, from whence they
are issued to the world. In fact, the game play
ed in Marseilles by the notorious attache, is being
repeated here, but I am happy to say, with very
indifferent success.”

Treason Trials. —-The Circuit Court met again
this morning at 10 o’clock to proceed with the
trial of Castner Hanaway, indicted for treason.
The Court-room, as heretofore, was densely
crowded, but the utmost decorum prevailed.—
The prisoner, W’ho is a young man of about 35
years, of tall and slim person, displays much self
possession.
Six more jurors were sw’orn this morning, ma
king eleven in all. The following is a list of
their names Robert Elliot, Thomas Connelly,
James Wilson, Peter Martin, Robert Smith, Jno.
Janken, James W. Hopkins, Ephraim Fenton,
Solomon Newmon, and Jonathan Wainwright.
The twelfth juror was chosen, but was not
sworn, betause the jury could not separate if all
were sworn. To-morrow being Thanksgiving
day, the Judge adjourned the Court till Friday
morning.
Schenectady, Nov. 24,1851. —This afternoon,
about 4j) o'clock, the gasometer of the Schenec
tady gas works exploded, and seriously, if not
fatally wounded Patrick Donelly. Mr. John
Eaton, superintendent of the works, and a laborer,
were also somewhat injured. Owing to some
leaks in the gasometer, the bonnet was taken off
early in the morning, for the purpose of allowing
the gas to escape, so that they could enter and
paint the inside. The laborers, w’hile Mr. Eaton
was absent, and contrary to his express and of
ten repeated orders, took a lighted candle and
were lowering it into the gasometer, when it
exploded, blowing it and the brick building erect
ed over it to atons, and throwing the men and
rubbish in every direction. Providentially, Mr.
Eaton had just entered the door of the gas-house,
having been on business in this city, and there
fore escaped with slight injury.
Later from Havana.—We learn by the ar
rival of the brig Gulnare, Captain Philips, at this
port, yesterday, from Havana, that a report was
current, at her departure, to the effect that Mr.
John S. Thrasher would be pardoned by the Cap
tain General, on condition he leave the island,
and that twenty days would be allowed him
to arrange his affairs.
