and industry. We cannot, however, pass
over a remark of the author to which brief
allusion was made by our correspondent,
Bob Short, in our last, without an expres
sion of unqualified disapprobation. That
the writer should entertain such sentiments,
argues but little in favor of his morality, but
that he should be so rash as to give them ut
terance in the pages of his magazine indi
cates a degree of recklessness as to public
opinion by no means creditable to his sagaci
ty or good sense, it is lamentable indeed,
when the popularity of authorship so inflates
an individual as to make him forget what is
due to public opinion and public morals’.
We doubt if the same number of iines are
in print, which contain more exceptionable
matter —certainly they are not to be found
in a respectable magazine. Speaking of
the natural passion of our people, for ex
citoment, he says, “It is the habitual ten
dency of the blood in the great multitude,”
and adds, “to this we owe Wrightism and
Mormonism, and Mesmerism —Joe Smith
and Mathias; to this we owe religious revi
vals and temperance manias in sad and hu
miliating abundance: hence our mobs and
murders; our Lynch Clubs and Cider rages.”
This is no slip of the pen, but a direct thrust
at religion, temperance, and whiggery—a
civil, religious, and political fling at public
opinion. The editor is loud in promises to
elevate the tone and character of our South
ern literature, but the promulgation of such
sentiments, certainly has not the remotest
tendency to effect so desirable an object.
We have not room to say half we desire on
this subject.
The next in succession is a poem enti
tled “ Our Flag,” the only merit in which is
the suppression of the author’s name. Who
did write the poem, and yfhy did the editor
give it the dignity of a magazine publica
tion 1 Take a specimen for instance,
“ I.et the banner fly,
Where winds may worship in whatever sky,
That virgin banner. It hath proudly stood,
By trial consecrate —baptised in blood
Os freedom ! in the sun’s eye—on the seas,
Spared by the tempest, honored by the breeze.”
The article following, is entitled “ His
torical Notices of Savannah,” an intolerably
long string of corporation statistics, which
appear to us sadly out of place in a maga
zine intended for general circulation at home
and abroad. Just imagine, reader, <e.n arti
cle of sixteen pages of such matter, embrac
ing two pages of the names of the “Mayors
and Aldermen of the city of Savannah from
its incorporation”—Christian and sir-names
in full. The article contains many interest
ing historical items, but these are interspers
ed among so much which is unimportant,
that they fail to entertain the general reader.
“ Henry Herbert, a Tale of the Revolu
tion,” is concluded. Not having read the
preceding chapters, we have nothing to
say of the story. The author’s name, Mrs.
Clifton, is sufficient guaranty to us of its
quality. We have yet to read any thing
from her pen discreditable to her reputation
as an author.
“ British■ Travelsi.i the United States.” —
W cweresadlydisappointed intlie perusal of
this paper. We expected to find in it a refuta
tion of many absurdities lavished on us by
British tourists; but what was our surprize to
find the author not less absurd and ridicu
lous in bis strictures upon American society
and manners than the veriest cockney John
Bull who ever passed through our land in
the disguise of a gentleman. The work,
particularly, under the writer’s notice, in the
present article is that of the lion. Charles
Augustus Murray, which he approves in a
hearty manner.
Mr. Murray’s book has never fallen into
our hands, but we remember to have seen it
generally commended by the press. The
author however controverts some of his
views—for the most part, the very senti
ments of all that he quotes in which we
should agree with Mr. Murray. For in
stance, Mr. M. repudiates lynching—our
reviewer places it upon a footing with knight
errantry, and expresses his conviction that
an occasion for the exercise of Judge
Lynch’s jurisdiction “ may arise.” Mr. M.
condemns the practice of duelling—our re
viewer in a measure approves the practice.
Now, we will not take it upon ourselves to
say that this is all “ right,” yet, in this in
stance, we do so far agree with him, as to
say that human life.is egregcously over-ra
ted, when it is valued beyond the preserva
tion of courtesy, social decorum, or the se
curity of the person from insult and injury,
and that a duel, melancholy as it is, is a less
evil than the throttling match, a fisticuff scuf
fle, a billingsgate brawl, or a bowie knife
encounter. Mr. M. attributes the absence
of aristocratic magnificence and splendor in
our private residences, to the abolition of
the rights of primogeneture, and expresses
his conviction that such an institution would
be incompatible with republicanism—our
reviewer maintains the opposite ground, and
expresses his regret that our revolutionary
forefathers saw fit to abolish it. How truly
republican !
But Mr. Murray is deficient in the usual
quantity of petty slander about our cookery,
kitchens, bed rooms, domestic regulations,
manners, -habits, &c., which is so profusely
showered upon us by his wandering coun-
trymen; and this deficiency our reviewer
very generously supplies. He says:
“ We have often resolved to become a Mis
sionary and devote our lives to the civiliza
tion of our fellow citizens. Their cookery
ispoisonous! their internal domestic arrange
ments an intolerable grievance! Sleep
ing rooms to bold numbers at once; beds for
two or three, rarely single couches; floors
occasionally swept with the broomstraw of
the nearest old field, but never scoured;
often littered too with such filth as Erasmus
describes in the English houses of bis day;
windows unconscious of glass, or paper, or
mica, or horn, and yet unfit to admit either
air or light; such have often been our lodg
ings, nay fur worse, but we avoid running
into extremes. Words fail ns to describe
the condition of the table and the kitchen.
From watching the processes of such ele
mentary cookery as is attempted, we have
been driven by sheer disgust. We shall say
nothing of the customary table cloth, nor of
the dishes, plates, knives and forks, except
this, that in all other unsafe regions, as in
Italy for example, you are indolently or
good naturedly permitted to make use of ev
ery means in your power to remedy the de
fects. We uged to clean our knives on the
stone window-sill and wash our own plates
and cups. But in America every such hint
of a desire for better things is received and
resented as an insult. Yet the ignorance
which thus refuses to be enlightened is both
ludicrous and revolting. Soup wasrecently
served to a female relative of ours at a stage
house on one of the most public roads in
South Carolina, in a wash hand basin!
Honey was once brought to table for a friend
of ours travelling withtwo ladies, in an uten
sil which cannot. by any periphrase ‘be
named to ears polite.’”
Now, we have done some wayfaring our
self in our day, but we must confess that the
experience of our reviewer far exceeds any
of the rough fare which ever fell to our lot.
Again be says:
“Everything else is similar and consis
tent. The ‘ light bread’ of the south and
southwest is always heavy; the biscuit in
stead of being twice cooked, is never half
cooked, and like the biscuit ‘the.cake is al
ways dough.’ The meats are tough from
being killed just when wanted, and are so
uniformly fried in lumps, that we would im
agine the arts of ‘roasting, baking, boiling,’
were all unknown. But this glimpse at the
sad reality is sufficient and we forbear fur
ther detail.”
After this we are led to wonder in what
sphere the writer has moved in his pere
grinations, and almost doubt if he had a fair
showing at the “first table.”
But we have gone beyond all bounds, and
must bring these remarks to a close, with a
brief glance at the other articles in the num
ber.
“ The Living Picture,” is a clever poem
by that clever writer Miss M. E. Lee.
“ Castle Dismal ” we shall not read until
it is concluded.
In the “ Editorial Bureau,” the “ Knichcr
border ” is handled without gloves, and very
justly so. We like the spirit evinced in the
article entitled “Southern Periodicals.” —
The critical notices are few,but well written.
‘the ciiicora, or messenger of the south.’
We have been favored with ah exchange
with this pleasing accession to the periodi
cal literature of the South. It is well print
ed, after the manner of the New York
Mirror, and promises to blend literaluie
and general information very gracefully to
gether. Its conductors are N. S. Dodge
and B. R. Carroll, Esquires, both gentlemen
of distinguished talent, upon whose judg
ment and good taste the public may confi
dently rely. In addition to their own efforts
we observe that contributions from many
gifted pens at the North and South will also
adorn its pages.
The Chicora, we learn, is a term by which
the aborigines designated the mocking bird,
from its similarity of sound to the first notes
of that wondrous minstrel of imitative har
mony; and with poetical appropriateness of
meaning, the name of this bird was given
to the country which produced it; hence the
entire region from Maryland to the capes
of Florida assumed that euphoneous appel
lation.
The editors remark, that as the Chicora,
or Mocking bird, is one of those daring min
strels who elicit harmony from the most va
rious and discordant ngtes of others, they
have thought the name not unfit for a paper
which professes to do the same in the de
partments of science and art —hoping that
over the North, the East, and the West, it
may wing its way, and in blithesome mimi
cry return with notes whose softness shall
improve under the influence of our South
ern clime.
The first number opens with an interest
ing tale of romantic love and Indian war
fare in the early settlement of our country,
by W. G. Ware.
Mrs. Sigournej’s ever graceful hand also
contributes a gem or two. Miss M. C. C.
furnishes some elegant and attractive tho’ts
on flowers. A series of papers upon the
interesting subject of Geology is commenc
ed by a distinguished Professor; and other
agreeable items fill its pages.
The Chicora is also, as we understand, to
be embellished with engravings illustrative
of Southern history, eminent Southern men,
fashions, &c. —and we cordially unite with
its editors, in hoping that their journal, com
bining the taste and cultivation of the North,
with the genius and poetry of the South,
may bo received with general welcome and
approbation. Price, $3 per annum.

Correspondence of the “ Southern Miscellany.”
Oxford, July 21, 1542.
Mr. Ilanlcitcr :—l reached this place at
an early hour on Tuesday morning, the
19th. It was my first visit to the place, and
truly I was delighted with it. Imagine to
yourself a dense forest with only trees
enough destroyed to make room for the
dwellings which have rapidly sprung up
since the place was settled—with here and
there a fine mansion, or beautiful cottage,
embowered in a grove of forest oaks, adorn
ed in front with a tastefully arranged flow
er garden, and you may have some notion
of the place. The College Buildings are at
the extreme end of the village, and arranged
more for comienience than show. The wa
teris delightful—thelocatiou fine—and there
is every thing to promise the young student
in pursuit of knowledge, health and enjoy
ment. Os the citizens composing its popula
tion it is not my purpose to speak, only to
say that I’have never fallen among a people
more after my own heart. I shall never for
get my first visit to tliis retired and wood
land village, or the kindness and hospitality
with which I was greeted.
But I desire to give you a short account
of the exercises connected with the Institu
tion, which is located here.
Tuesday was the day set apart for the
delivery of an address before the two litera
ry institutions—the Few and Phi Gamma
Societies—by the Rev. George F. Pierce,
of the Georgia Conference. At an early
hour, I secured a seat in the large and spa
cious church, (which has but recently been
erected,) which was soon rapidly filled with
an immense crowd, gathered from all parts
of the State. At eleven o’clock, the pro
cession from the College arrived at the
church ; at its head, the President and Ora
tor, followed by the Faculty, the Trustees,
the Honorary Members of the Societies,
and the Students, each wealing the distin
guishing badges of their respective Socie
ties.
Prayer having been made by the Rev.
Nicholas Tally, the Oiator arose, and ad
dressed himself to the duty before him, and
for one hpur and a quarter he held the im
mense auditory in profound and delighted
attention, I shall not attempt to give you
even a synopsis of the address. (I presume
it will be published-) It is impossible for
me to do so. The theme was the’ “ Bible”
—the Bible, as a school book—the necessi
ty and importance of making it a part and
parcel of every course of study. I was pre
pared to listen to a fine address; the past
character of the speaker, and my own knowl
edge of his gifts led me to expect something
at least from him, to repay me for my visit:
but, sir, I hardly know how to speak
my own opinion, without rendering myself,
in the estimation of others obnoxious to tho
charge of adulation. I dare not, then, say
all I feel and know of its merits. The au
thor not only sustained his former well
earned reputation, but far, very far, exceed
ed the highest expectations of his warmest
and most devoted friends. The subject was
worthy of the orator, and the address was
worthy of the subject.
At night we had some very good speeches
from the members of the junior class. We
were informed that the exercises on W ed
nesday—the commencement day—would
commence at the) hour of nine o’clock, and
long before this hour the house was filled,
and many were compelled either to go away
or maintain themselves standing during the
time.
Prayer was made by Rev. Bishop An
drew. The Salutatory oration was delivered
by Mr. W. Lewis, of Green County, who
had divided with two others the first honor.
This speech was well written, and delivered
in very fine style indeed. The whole audi
ence felt the touching remarks undressed by
the speaker to the Trustees, the Faculty,
and especially to the President of the Col
lege. There were times durin|this speech,
when many an eye gave evidence of the
possession of that true and correct thermo
meter of feeling, a tender heart.
He was succeeded by Jacob R. Danforth,
of Augusta, who received the second honor
—his subject “Our Country.” ’ This young
gentleman gave evidence of much research,
arid an intimate acquaintance with ancient
history. His speech abounded in classical
allusions, and with the exception of a sen
tence now and then rather long, was finely
written: but age and experience will bring
with them the pruning knife.
The third speaker, A. R. Branham, of
Eatonton, Georgia, who divided the third
honor with three of his class mates, address
ed us from the subject, “Criticism injurious
to Genius”—He did the subject ample jus
tice, and however we may differ with him
in the sentiments he delivered, still we are
prepared to do justice to his effort, and
pronounce it very good.
F. A. Hill, of Macon, the fourth speaker,
gave us ashis theme the old epicurian max
im, Dum vivimus vivamus.” There was
a vein of satire running through the greater
portion of this speech, and many practical
reflections drawn from it. It was well and
sensibly written. Let him but practice bis
own precepts, and lie will succeed.
The next speaker, John A. Jones, of Co
lumbus, gave us ashis theme, “Political
corruption the cause of national dissolution.”
This was the most youthful looking speaker
of the whole, and from the evidence of pro
mise we saw in his graceful attitude, and
fine delivery, he will, no doubt, become a
pretty speaker.
The next on the list wasO. L. Smith, of
Greene County. His subject was “ Modern
Refinement,” and I assure you, sir, he
did the subject ample justice. The main
part of his address Was levelled at the fash
ions of the present day ; and I am sure that
I have never heard or read anything upon
that subject, so true in fact, and so biting in
satire. There were timesduring its delive
ry when the whole audience was convulsed
from one end to the other, and yet all un
moved, and apparently unconscious of liis
own agency in producing it. The young
speaker went on levelling shaft after shaft at
the follies of the day, as if it was a matter
of-course business with him. (If I can suc
ceed, I will get that speech for you, Mr.
Editor, to spread upon yourpages; it should
not be lost.)
[W e shall be glad should our correspon
dent succeed in his efforts to get this speech
for publication in the “ Miscellany.” We
have heard several speak greatly in its
praise.— Ed.J
The last spoecli, the Valedictory, was de
livered by G. W. W. Stone, of Walton
County. It was a most successful effort.
It was longer than the others, and though
we had remained seated a long time, still
there was not, during its entire delivery, any
appearance of impatience ; and the tender
and eloquent farewell of the young student
melted many an eye to tears.
The de<trees were then confered, and the
President declared his farewell address to
the Graduates ; the benediction was uttered,
and the multitude dispersed.
This was a proud day for Emory College.
The performances of the students, in my
judgment, reflected the highest credit on
their teachers. Any Piesident, of any Col
lege, in any country, might well be proud
of such a graduating class. Every friend
of the institution who was present could not
but be delighted. The whole affair went
off in the best style, and with the best feel
ings. You looked in vain for any of that
pomp, and parade, and tinsel, and glare,
which are too often the most prominent ma
terials exhibited at most commencements.
Here it was truly the reverse ; here was the
“feast of reason and the flow of soul.”
The denomination of Christians who have
control of this institution, should cherish it
os the apple of their eye. Here, literary
instruction is combined with moral and re
ligious culture—and while the mind is pre
pared to take its position in the world, and
gather from the wide fields of literature and
science, the garlands that shall adorn it, the
soul—aye, the soul—the itiner man—is
taught, by faith to lean itself upon the strong
arm of the Eternal —to take its proper place
in the spiritual world, and gather around it
self, as its crowning glory, the graces of the
spirit. May Emory College long endure to
bless the world with its literature, and the
Church with its Religion.
