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. Correspondence ot the Telegraph. Eufaula, Ala., Monday, Nov. sth, ’6O. 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. 1 see suspended on the summit of her house, (a very beautiful one too, ) the stars and stripes —ls stars to represent the 15 Southern States.

Hurrah for Alabama. 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, John M. Giles. W. F. King. A true extract from the minutes of Houston Superior Court. 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 \ l in. 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.
