■o as to allow his energies to stagnate In inactivity

the great poet, and the great scholar, are great work

than that of any handicraftiam—and the student's
life has more anxiety than that of any other man.—
And without the perseverance, the attention of real
industry, he can never succeed. Hence, the number
of mere pretenders to scholarship, of thoso who have
not the strength and industry to bo real scholars, but
Stop halfway, and are mere Bmattera—a shame to the

Deep and Earnest Thought.
1. It Is a rare attainment to get the power of close
and consecutive thinking. No man can do it but
with great pains. It is one of tho great ends of edu
cation and mental discipline to confer this power.
2. The romances and otbor trash of tho teeming
presses of our day, are hostile to this habit. The ex
citement of fiction is pleasurable. Deep thought re
quires pains-taking and self denial. Thousands had
rather sail over the sunny bcos of romance, and under
its bright skies, even though they reach the port pen
niless, than to encounter adverse winds and boisterous
seas, though a rich cargo should be tbo recompense.
: X 8. Bat deep and earnest thought, the power and
practice of It, Is of vast advantage many ways. It se
cures sure and great advances in knowledge. It
strengthens and invigorates ail the mental powers
It enables the mind to take large and comprehensive

thought in my ways, I took heed unto thy testimo

Deep and earnest thought is tho parent of deep
religious emotion. The unthinking can never feel
deeply.
Deep thinking exerts great power over conscience.
It sharpens Its discernment—makes it a better judge
and a bolder and wiser reprover.
Happiness.—Those who, in pursuing their various
occupations, have gathered in their journey through
life all the happiness which it can afford, have not
proposed happiness as their end. They aspired to
some object more preoiso, more definite, to which,
had it been ncccssaiy.they would bavo sacrificed hap
piness itself. It is thus they proceed on their path
way through life. Not only is the search for happi
ness illusory, but it retards us in tho pursuit of what
Is valuable.
Tho impossibility of forming to ourselves a clear
idea of happiness is tho reason that our imagination
substitutes pleasure in its stead.

To ohr eurpriso we were callod upon for the evidence
of this statement. Wo gave It, bj quoting a portion
of one of tho Republican's editorials, written dire
months since, In which Col. Biwahd was obarged, in
so many words, with being " oar Sitter enemy" For
that reason It was said that Whig8, "oapeoially ot {fit's
eounty," conld-flnd no difficulty In choosing between
him and Col. Gaulden. Now, because we re-publish
ed from the Whig organ only what was necessary to
establish the truth of our statement—and we were
certainly under no sort of obligation to publish any
more—the person who edits it exclaims; •• Will
tho reader believe that,to substantiate an unfounded
assertion, tho Georgian has let Itself down so low as
to bo guilty of garbling for the purpose of misrepre
senting onr position.” Now, the editor of the Repub
lican knows that onr assertion was not "nnfouadod
he knows as well as we do, that it was and is true,
that he did charge Col.Seward with being "onr
bitter enemy ’’—that Ip, tho “ bitter enemy” of Sa
vannah. By attempting to dony having made this
charge he only shows how utterly Indifferent he la to
the claims of veracity.
Of course, it is not surprising that no scrnples of
conscience should prevent him (after having attempt
ed, two months sinoe, to excite the hostility ol Savan
nah against Col. SawAabhy asserting that ho ly our
bitter enemy ” l) from now asserting that •• iir. Sew
ard began this sectional controversy by making un
just charges against Mr. Bartow.” Scrnples of con
science, wo venture to add, will not prevent him
from writing whatever will tend to promote tho sno-
cesa of his candidate. A paper which could affirm
that It had good Democratic authority for saying
44 that Gen. Pierce has exclusively appointed Free-
Soilers aud Secessionists to office,” need not surprise
us by the widest aberationa from troth, where it has
a purpose to accomplish.

BITeota of the Heat In New York*

with each successive day, and yesterday culminated
at a fiery temperature. Tho number of deaths result

ing tho post forty-eight hours, is without a parallel
in tho annals of mortality. Since Saturday morning
the number of coses, ascertained to have resulted
fatally, in this city. Is 114. In addition to these were
reported 19 cases of persons who hod been prostrated
by 4, sau strokes” but were still living. In Brooklyn
38 deaths aro known to have occurred since Saturday
morning. In WilUamaburgh during tho same period
ftvo cases resulted fatally, while a large number re
covered, owing to the carefol and speedy attention
they received. There were four deaths at the Quaran
tine, Staton Island, and the same number in Jereoy
The whole number of deaths daring the past week,
caused by the excessive heat, is estimated at 220.
There were roraore that a large number of servants

The Full Trade*
Wo learn, from thoso who aro conversant with tho
matter, that our Fall trado has already opened, In a
manner indicating that it will be an unusually active
aud prosperous one. There are many customers here
from the West and Southwest who have never dealt
in this market before—a circumstance showing tlmt
tho commercial relations of Philadelphia witn tho
regions named aro extending, and, judging from tho
satisfaction that has been given by onr merchants in
respect of tho ample, varied and choice supply of
goods with which they arc tarnished this aeoaon, the
exceedingly cheap rates at which they aft sold, and
tho advantages wo possess for the seouro and speedy
transportation of there is a reasonable ground for anj
tlclpating that the future will realize the most san
guine expectations formed regarding the growing

which, of itseir.must alwa/s exert a most salutary
influence upon tbe trade or this city—wo mean that

With such attractions, then, as this metropolis pre
sents for tho southern and western trade—consisting

tho admitted fairness and liberality of our business
men, wo may reasonably conclude that our commer

surely.
During tho last two or three seasons, there has b.
a visible and steady increase in the Philadelphia job-
bing-trado. The buyers, besides coming from many
parts of the count!/ whore our mercantile houses had
previously established very few or no business con
nections, have greatly multiplied, and the individual
purchases have been very considerably enlarged ot
late. This improved demand for goods has, naturally
enough, caused a corresponding activity and expan

The British Government havo boon for some time
in great perplexity on the question what they shall do
with the island or Jamaica—once the Queen of tho
British Antilles, but now bankrupt and ruined—and,
iti fact, good for nothing. To copy the language of
tho present Governor, Sir Charles Grey—' 4 The fertil
ity of its soil, and fitness both for tillage and pastur
age, the richness and variety of its vegetable products,,
the alterations of mountain and valley, tho nu
merous hot springs and medical waters, the known
existence of various and valuable minerals, the tim
ber and ornamental woods of its forests, tbe abun
dance and variety of fish on Us coasts and neighbor
ing reefs, indicate peculiarfacilitiesfor the promotion
of tho future welfare and prosperity of Its Inhabitants,
and warrant tho hopo that, low as it has now fiiilen,
it will not bo permitted to relapse into otter barba

English themselves with great relnctanco admit
the fact, that such must be the fato of this beautiful
and fertile island. It has become already what may
be called a 41 model Abolitionist establishment.”-—

the emancipation of tho West India negroes was a
most thoughtless and inconsiderate act—a 44 tremen
dous mistake.” Rut there are Borne among them who
refuse to bolieve that any evil an possibly follow the

persons ascribe the misfortunes of Jamaia to the re
peal of tbo corn laws, and other measures of that
character; but they are not fond of being asked hmo
theso things an prevent men from, digging tho
ground. We have not heard of any project in con-
jraplation by the Home government of Great Britain
for tho rescue of this once valuable colony, though
tbo subject is contemplated with a deep ana mourn-
fhl interest by all who take pride In Britain’s supre

In addition to tho general Indolonco and povert
into which the blacks bavo sunk slnco their emanu

andObeah worship, which thoy brought with thorn
from Africa, and that they am now soon paying their
devotions to snakes, toads, and old ragged poppets.
We give theso statements as we find them in English
publications. They may or may not be colored high

The Bdymoln Case—A Precedent.
A correspondent writes as follows to tho Albany
Journal:
The newspapers seem to be much engngod in dis
cussing the case of Edymoln, who recently obtained
from Gov. Seymour, a pardon from the Ststo prison,
by forging a petition, Ao., upon which the pardon
granted. It is supposed to bo a now ease under
many who would rather tbe road should not be built,
while with a central truhk. directly from Charleston
to Savannah, there Is drer/ dUpoaltion to acoommo-
data Waltorboro’, and other Important places with
brandies. And it Is, perhaps, a question whether:
brandies terminating at suoh points, are not the mat
to their afvantage. YorkvJllo, for Instance, was left
out of tbo road from Columbia to Charlotte. She
constructed a branch for herseir, and tbe result has
been, that no village in tbe up country has so Im
proved.
Tbo Charter wlll bo applied for, however, at tho
next session of tbo Logldaturo. and if granted, as
there is no doubt it will be, then will come the tug of
war between conflinotlng Interests.—C% Standard.
But the ease is not without q precedent. Allow mo
to relate in occurrence whioh took place more than
thirty years ago, In Herkimer oounty.
A notorious old rogue, by tbo name of Barnes, was
convicted of grand larceny, and was sent to the State
prison at Auburn. In the course of a few weeks after
•eing sent to prison, Barnes was found parading the
streets of Herklmor village, and ostentatiously snow
ing a pardon signed by Gov. Clinton. I think It was
in the year 1818 or 1819.
. A I
upon
don.
In reply the Governor sent up apetltlon purport
ing to bavo been signed by David Hall, First Judge
of the county; Robert Shoemaker, Sheriff; by tuo
County Clerk, and District Attorney, and by various
other porsons. giving an account of the trial and con-
>he year 1818 or 1819.
Hotter was addressed to tho Governor enquiring
m whose recommendation he had granted the par-
go Treaty, renderingt ..... ....
ry. posts along tho Moxicon border no longer neces
sary.
victlon of Barnes, and stating a great variety of rea
sons why he should not have been convicted,
praying for his Immediate pardon,
signatures were all forgeries.
m couvid
Tbe petition and
h this case tio person supposed that the pardon
oould be treated as a nullity and Barnes bo again
committed in tbe State Prison. The Governor had
exercised an nnancstionablo prerogative in granting
the pardon, and it could not be revoked or annulled.
In the cash that has recently occurred I have no
donbt that tho second imprisonment of tho man after
Governor Seymour granted a pardon, was wholly
illegal.

Tho civil war in Venezuela has been cut short by a
fearful catastrophe—a most destructive earthquake
at Cumanu, the apit&l city of the province of that
name, forming a part of Venezuela, and being the
only provima in rebellion. The earthquake occurred
tho loth of July, and was the most disastrous that
has ever occurred in South America. Tbe first shock
was felt only about two minutes, yet in tbatBhort
abort space of time it destroyed evory honso bnt one
in tho principal part of the city, called Puente Arri
ba, Six hundred Boldlers In the barracks were among
the victims. Tho CumananB immediately sent their
submission to Gen. Monagas, and solicited Buccor.
Cqmana is a city of about eight thousand population,
lying on tho gulf of Cariaco, and is the oldest city on
the continent, having been founded in 1803. Tho
earthquako was felt in Barcelona, and destroyed
throe large buildings, including the barracks, fust
after seven hundred soldiors had leftthcm. All along
the coast of Venezuela shocks were felt, but no mis
chief was known. It is said that the superstitions
of the people led them to look nnon the earthquako
os an evidenco of tho Divine disapprobation of tbo
revolution.
■ Hot Weather In New York.
The heat for the past six days has been most aw
ful. In our publication offico, a place with ten or
twelve windiws and doors constantly open to the
cost, wrath and west, the mercury has ranged, from
9 A. M. to 4 P. M., from 90 to ftl02 degrees, and near-
air, when there was any, from all points, the mark
has bceu from about 00 to 98 day and night.
From various accounts received, we Bhould lodge
that at least a hundred horses have been killed in the
meantime in this city alone. All sorts of business in
the traveling line has been retarded-railroad trains
relays, omnibuses reduced to half speed, aud pedes-
trianism almost brought to a standstill.
Another Inch week wonld outrival in mortality the
heiobt of the cholera of 1849.
Tho number of deaths lost week Is reported at 685 ;
but tbo real number must havo been at least 700—tbe

Evory oSty.%vn and hamlet In tills neighborhood
has suffered itniko proportion, and even in the airiest

Potato Blight.—In several field* | n tho neighbor
hood of St. Andrews, N. B., and in various other parts
or tho county, this dread malady has again made its
appearance. The heavy rains have proved fatal to
the potatoes in tho vicinity of Now Haven. Many of
them when pulled up by tho roots are found to be so
decayed as to present nothing but slimy strings, and
largo numbers of those taken from tho ground, in an
apparently sound and healthy state, decay in a few
