EXCITEMENT IN RICHMOND, Va.
Rh iiaoao, Va., Nov. s.—Political excitement
nms high in this city.
Poetry.—We have a good many poetical
correspondents, whom we always like to grat
ify, and sometimes do so, at the expense of our
better judgment. The most of them we are
compelled, by r a sense of duty to the public, to
disappoint They do not even surmount the
difficulties in that department of grammar
called prosody—which is surely a fatal defect.
But, if even they were overcome, when you
add the still further requirements of poetic fire,
thought and imagery, they are terribly in the
vocative. “Poeta nascitur non fit” is the old
Latin proverb, to be learned in the house book,
and it signifies that the art poetic is a natural
gift, and not an accomplishment to be acquired
by study and practice. Now when our corres
pondents find themselves poetizing in their
dreams, sleeping and waking—when they find
the fire of Parnassus burning inextinguishable
in their breasts, so it will not out, or be con
trolled, we w ill make room for them in spite of
rhythmatic infirmities. But if they have to
woo the muses with infinite labor and pains, it
would be our dying request, in their case, that
they should stick to plain prose.

Editor Macon Telegraph:— Dear Sir-.— l
reached here Saturday—found this place very
much excited in relation to politics. I can say,
were all Alabama and the entire South like the
people of this place, the moment Lincoln, (if
such is the case,) is elected, w’ould in a few
minutes, be in arms. I see all the young men
and old’of this place, are wearing cockades,
inscribed, “the South, a Southern Confedera
cy.” These were made by a Mrs. Treadwell of
this place, whose name shall and will ever be
remembered, while time shall continue to be.

A GEORGIAN.
Houston Superior Court, }
October Tenn, 1860. )
Since the last term, William H. Miller, Esq.,
the efficient and accomplished clerk of this Court
has departed this life.
For many years he has been its officer, and
his constant anil unwearied attention to its du
ties has commanded the confidence of the citi
zens of this county, the approbation of its pre
siding officers, and the respect and friendship
of the Bar
In the ripe maturity of his manhood he has
passed away; he survives in the hearts and
memories of his friends.
He died among those he had served so long
and so well ; lamented by friends; a loss sad
and deplorable to those who mingled with him
in life or had occasion for his services as a capa
ble and faithful officer.
We parted from him in the bright and glow
ing spring, when nature was dressed in the
richest and lovliest green, we return and find
the drifting leaves of Autumn now strewing the
place of his last repose.
Thus we pass away in the vigor of manhood,
the decrepitude of age, the humblest capacity,
and the most brilliant intellect, alike yield to
the shafts of the -insatiate archer.
One by one the associations of this life arc
being sundered; one by one as friends, we are
parting from the living and joining the countless
multitudes who have gone before us.
Let these sad memorials of our mortal nature
prepare us more faithfully to meet and fill the
duties of life; preserve and cherish those kind
ly feelings and affections that smooths its rug
ged paths, lights its weary way with the smiles
of Providence and fit us to meet the stern judg
ment that lies beyond the silence and gloom of
the grave. Be it therefore
Jiesoiretl, That in the death of William IL
Miller, Esq., this court has lost an efficient and
faithful officer, the Bar and the citizens of Hous
ton county, one who commanded their respect
and confidence.
liesohed, That a copy of the foregoing pre
amble and resolutions be entered on the min
utes of this court and be forwarded by the
clerk of this court for publication and copies to
his surviving relatives. A. M. Speer,

A true extract from the minutes of Houston

THOS. M. KILLEN, Clerk.
The Nature of Wealth and Poverty.
Men rarely know the meaning of the word
“rich.” It is a relative word, implying its op
posite “poor,” asrositiv -’v s t'<e word “north”
implies its opposite “south.” Men nearly al
ways speak and write as if riches were abso
lute, and it were possible, by following certain
scientific precepts, for every body to be rich.
Whereas riches are a power like that of electric
ity, acting only through the inequalities, or ne
gations ofitself. The force of the guinea you
have in your pocket depends wholly on the de
fault of a guinea in your neighbour’s pocket.—
If he did not want it, it would be of no use to
you ; the degree of power it possesses depends
accurately upon the need or desire he has felt
for it; and the art of making yourself rich, in
the ordinary mercantile economist's sense, is
therefore equally and necessarily the art of
keeping your nighbour poor. An accumula
tion of real property is of little use to its own
er unless, together with it, he has commercial
power over labor. Thus, suppose any person
to be "put in possession ofa large estate of fruit
ful land, with rich beds of gold in its gravel,
countless herds of cattle in its pastures ; houses
gardens, and store-houses full of useful stores;
but suppose after all, that he could get no ser
v nits. In order that he may be able to have
servants some one in his neighbourhood must
be poor, and in want of his gold or his corn.—
Assume that no one is in want of either, and
that no servants are to be had. He must there
fore bake his own bread, make his own clothes,
plow his own ground, and shepherd his own
flocks. His gold will be as useful to him as
any yellow pebbles on Ins estate. His stores
must rot, for he cannot consume them. He can
eat no more than another man could eat, and
wear no more than another man could wear.-
He must lead a life of severe and common labor
to procure even ordinary comforts; he will be ul
timately unable to keep either houses in repair
i or fields in cultivation, and forced to content
himself with a poor man’s portion of cottage
and garden in the midst of a desert of waste
• land trampled by wild cattle and encumbered
by ruins of palaces which he will hardly mock
at himself by calling “his own.’— [John lius

WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 7, 1860.
[Special Despatch to the Charleston Courier.]
THE S. C. ELECTORAL SESSION.
Columbia, S. C., Nov. 4th, 10 P. M.—A large
portion of the members of the Legislature ar
rived, others are expected by morning trains of
Monday, so that it is anticipated there will be a
very full attendance. Os those present, nearly
all readily, and earnestly utter opinions in favor
of prompt and efficient action by South Carolina
in the issue of Lincoln’s election.
There is considerable interest exhibited as to
the extent of the Special Sesssion, but the prev
alent opinion is, that it will be protracted even
if not continued into the regular term.
It is confidently believed by those who should
be informed, that the Special Message of Gov
ernor Gist will be brief, but will contain a dis
tinct recommendation in favor of a prolongat ion
of the Session, with reference to action, beyond
the Presidential election. That actio n will prob
ably include, according to Governor Gist’s re
commendation, the call of a Convention for an
early day, and the arming of the State.
Senator Chesnut and Representative Miles,
are frequently and favorably mentioned for the
office of Governor. Those who know are thor
oughly confident in the abilities and purposes
of either.
S. CAROLINA—GOV. GIST’S MESSAGE.
The South Carolina Legislature assembled in
Columbia, in special session last Monday, for
the purpose of choosing Electors of President
and Vice President of the United States. The
Message of Governor Gist is very brief and
explicit. After stating the primary object of
the called session, he proceeds to say :
Under ordinary circumstances, your duty
could be soon discharged by the election ot
Electors representing the choice of the people
of the State, but in view of the threatening as
, pectof affairs, and the strong probability of the
election to the Presidency of a sectional candi
date, by a party committed to the support of
measures which, if carried out, will inevitably
destroy our equality in the Union, and ultimate
ly reduce the Southern States to mere provin
ces of a consolidated despotism to be governed
by a fixed majority in Congress hostile to our
institutions, and fatally bent upon our ruin, I
would respectfully suggest that the Legislature
remain in session, and take such action as will
prepare the State for any emergency that may
arise.
That an exposition of the will of the people
may be obtained on a question involving such
momentous consequences, 1 would earnestlyre
commend that in the event of Abraham Lin
coln’s election to the Presidency, a Convention
of the people of this State be immediately call
ed, to consider and determine for themselves
the mode and measure of redress. My own
opinions of what the Convention should dare
do, are of little moment ; but believing that
the time has arrived when every one. however
humble he may be, should express his opinions
in unmistakable language, I am constrained to
say that the only alternative left in my judg
ment, is the secession of South Carolina from
the Federal Union. The State has, with great
unanimity, declared that she has the right,
peaceably to secede, and no power on earth can
rightfully prevent it.
If in the exercise of arbitrary power and for
getful of the lessons of history, the Govern
ment of the United States should attempt coer
cion, it will become our solemn iiuty to meet
force by force ; and whatever may be the de
cision of the Convention, representing the so
vereignty of the State, and amenable to no
earthly tribunal, it shall during the remainder
of my administration, be carried out to the let
ter, regardless of any hazards that may sur
round its execution. I would also recommend
a thorough re-organization of the Militia, so as
to place the whole military force of the State in
a position to be used at the shortest notice and
with the greatest efficiency. Every man in the
State between the ages of eighteen and forty
five, should be well armed with the most efficient
weapons of modern warfare, and all the availa
ble means of the Stale used for that purpose.
In addition to this general preparation, I would
also recommend that the services of ten thous
and volunteers be immediately accepted; that
they be organized and drilled by officers chosen
by themselves, and hold themselves in readiness
to be called on upon the shortest notice. With
this preparation for defence, and with all the hal
lowed memories of past achievements, with our
love of liberty and hatred of tyranny, and with
the knowledge that we are contending for the
safety of our homes and firesides, we can confi
dently appeal to the Disposer of all human events
and safely trust our cause in 11 is keeping.
LEAVE TO GO OUT.
Master Horace Greeley in his paper of the
2nd instant, kindly grants “any considerable
section of this Union” leave to go out of it, in
words following, to-wit:
“We dare the Fire-eaters to submit the ques
tion of Secession or No Secession be<iause of
Lincoln’s election to the popular vote of their
own people. They will be badly beaten in ev
ery State but South Carolina, and probably
beaten in her popular vote also. And let them
be assured of this —that they cannot make
feints of jumping out of the Union an 1 expect
the North to hold them. Whenever any con
siderable section of this Union shall really in
sist on getting out of it, we shall insist that
they be allowed to go. And we feel sure that
the North generally cherishes a kindred deter
mination. So let there be no more babble as
to the ability of the Cotton States to whip the
North. If they aill fight, they must hunt up
some other enemy, for we are not going to fight
them. If they insist on staying in the Union,
they must of course obey its laws; but, if the
People (not the swashy politicians) of the Cot
ton States shall ever deliberately vote them
selves out of the Union, we shall be in favor of
letting them go in peace. Then who is to
fight ? an<l what for ?

Ex. Gov. Wise ix Norfolk.— Norfo l !,-, Nor.
2.—The Opera House, in this city, was
crammed to overflowing last night, to hear ex-
Gov. Wise. He was received with tumultuous
enthusiasm, the people rising from their seats,
I waving their hats, and giving long and contin
ued cheers. He made one of the greatest
speeches of his life. He spoke in defence of
his position and of his Princess Anne resolu
tions. and sustained the organization of Minute
Men throughout the State. He denounced as
traitors all who would not stand by the South.
His Princess Anne resolutions were adopted
by the meeting amid great enthusiasm. He
speaks in Portsmouth to-morrow night.
Great excitement exists throughout the city.
Gas Leakage.—Tn a report of the New
River Water Company, Professor Spencer in
speaking of the corrosion of iron mains and
the effect of gas leakage, states that it is com
puted that there are 4.000 miles of gs.s mains
laid under the road-ways of Ixindoti, from
which 600,000,000 feet of gas are annually ab
sorbed into the earth, the far larger proportion
of which could be saved by improved conduits.
As a matter of economy, its results w ould pay
a dividend of five per cent, on the gross capi
tal of the London companies. It is a question
for photographers, how far the extraordinary
excess of carlmreted hydrogen, with its other
impurities, contaminating their waters at times,
may account for exceptional and unexplaina
ble phenomena and puzzling failure.

I deem it my duty, in defence of the character of Mr.
H. J. Cooper, to state the facts in reference to a report
there is in circulation about the negroes carried by him
to Montgomery. I gave him a Bill of Sale of those ne
groes, and delivered them to him at the Depot.
These are the facts, and the person who reported that
Mr. Cooper had stolen those negroes is a low-bred, thiev
ish, contemptible liar and scoundrel.
It has also been reported that those two negroes were
sent off to pay a gambling debt. The author of this re
port is a base slanderer, and beneath the notice of a gen
tleman. The whole transaction between Mr. Cooper
and myself was a fair and honorable transaction.

batic ability as would surpass every other in the world
■ proceeded to Europe and brought over to New York ttie
wonderful troupe that has filled the vast theatre of the
metropolis, and the Boston and Philadelphia Academies ol
Music, for months to overflowing. My engagement with
the great tragedian, Ma. Edwlv Foerkst, who after a four
years absence from the stage has at length yielded to my
solicitations Vi re-appear at Niblo’s Garden, occupies for
his term this favorite cosmopolitan temple of the drama,
and enables me to indulge a long cherished desire, and at
the same time accede to the earnest solicitation of hosts ot
Southern ladies and gentlemen, to send my Great Troupe
to visit the principal cities ot the South ; and I assure the
thousands of ladies and gentlemen of the South who have
seen the Company at Niblo’s and elsewhere, and the pub
lic, that there will be no diminution of its numbers, or
change in its propria persona. J. M. NIXON.
