The T’.irris correspondent ot the Now York World furnishes some additional particulars relative to the unfortunate Empress Carlotta, which will be read with interest. The history of the world is little more than successive chapters of the misfortunes of rank, particularly during the last seventy years. Os these mis fortunes of people born to power, the sorrow* of woman Occupy the largest space. Zcnobia in chains has given one of our own sculptresses a theme. The expulsion hf Eve from Eden makes the tendercst suggestion to Christian art and literature. Jacqueline, of Holland, is the dearest passage to every Dutch man’s wife. And the episode that wo rn in must love in the onreer of Napo leon, is the grief of Jusephiue. Love and pity ape greater than all condemnation. It is absurd to speak of what one has deserved after one has loved and suffered. He would be a bo! ’., abused man, who should say to day that Josephine has a history of both stain and sorrow. Therefore, what I shall write for you upon the last great distress of the “Empress" Car lotta, of Mexico, must be without men tion of the vanity that preceded her decline, or the wrong and crime of the cause for whose loss she is so sorely demented. To day, in the chateau of Miraraar t at T rieste, which she quitted to be a Queen three years ago, amidst the dipping of colors aud the discharge of cannon, Carlotta lies a raving maniac. T hi* dor, lact wools, hcl lessen ilc parted in the city of Rome, which she visited at the commencement ot her brief reign, to appease the wayward impulses and interests ol the pontiff of her church. The vanity of sudden dominion and her traditions of superstition have wrecked her at the footstool of the Priest, without whose blessing she ce M not live happy in conscience, and by whose control she lost her crown and i her hopes. It is his hist triumph. The red shirts of Garibaldi are at his gates. Avaunt! the last Swiss guard ! This Queen, now woman, takes higher 'fdaee in history by h<-r fail than by her promotion. Her very weakness severs her from rebuke, jier illness is now the most particular and tender theme in b.uropp. There is no wife or mother who does not make part with her. She lits now in the chateau of Miramar making plaintive entreaties for hrr bus,. hand to rejoin her. If he values love more than lands, let him come. A Baby’s BtfioiuriiY.— An editor thus docs up the biography of a recent accession to his household: \S e have hail so many kind friends asking about the baby, that we thought it necessary to biograph the chap briefly, and somewhat after the current ctyle of the day : “It * a boy. • lie’s a busier. Weighs nine pounds and a quarter, and old wod ian tell ns that he will grow heavier as his weight increases. lie’s the first boy of which we've been proprietor, and of course is tha only baby in town. The old woman before mentioned cjelare him the very image of his pa: ‘“A faithful copy of his faithful sire, In fa i ami gesture.'" But in justice so the youth, we must gay we think him an improvement on the original—a word of progress, you know. This young American is as old as could be expected, considering the time he was born, and will doubtless bo too old for bis lather in a few years, if he has good luck. ife in ejeito rcti'eeot on politics, and only wants to be let alone. He thinks he favors Mrs. Winslow’s policy. We havn’tnamed him yet; We want to,five him a distinguished cognomen, but the fame of our great men is at present so precarious that wo don’t like tberisk. ■ It is perhaps unnecessary to say, ns all biographers do ■ f’ distinguished per sonages, that the subject of this sketch was born at an early ago, of ‘poor but respectable parents.’” It was Illuejasoy who spoke of his “paternal pa” as poor, but “on it.” < irv nmr.cTOHY.

The selections are judicious, and the ar rangement is excellent. Heading is here presented as an art: the consecutive meth ods of instruction are thoroughly exhibited, while tho principles of correct aud elegant Heading, with tho illustfutions that em body them, are so happily introduced, that easy and natural progress may be made. I am particularly pleased with the NKW JSIXTIT KUADEB. This work has pecu liar merits. It combines, in an eminent <lo gr?«. the best features of our most pbilo losphio systems of Elocutionary Heading; and, apart from Us other recom men dot ions, is especially worthy of the attention of Teachers on the ground of its eclectic value. 1 shall introduce the New Sixth {loader into the Elocutionary Department of this Uni versity. A. A. LTUSCOMU, Chancellor.” •‘Butler’s Grammars impress me very favorably. So far as 1 have been able to examine them, they strike me ns very suc cessful etiorts to adapt the subject of Gram mar to young minds. They teach the pupil how to think in the study of Grammar; and as most Grammars fail at this point, I can very fully commend these books to the at tention of Teachers. A. A. LIPSCOMB, Chancellor.” We could append the endorsement of these rare Books from ail the important Teachers in the City of Augusta, who will hereafter use them exclusively in their schools.
