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.

THE WEATHER, During the fore part of the present week was extremely warm and sultry—thermone ter ranging from 85 to 90° in the shade. On Wednesday last we were refreshed by a copious shower, accompanied by much wind, thunder and lightning. We learn that con siderable damage was done to cotten and corn in the neighborhood by hail which fell on that day. The stones are reported to have been as large as hen’s eggs, and in great abundance.

DESTRUCTIVE FRESHET. “We regret to learn,” says the Peters burg Intelligencer, of the 16th, that there was a destructive freshet to the South of us on Wednesday. The Wilmington and Roan oke, the Raleigh and Gaston, the Ports mouth and Roanoke, and the Petersburg Rail Roads, were all more or less injured. “In the county of Warren, N. C., agood deal of damage was done to the Corn, the water in many places on the banks of the Roanoke and other streams covering the Corn entirely.” LOUISIANA ELECTION.

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. Your’s, truly, E. L. W. MANUFACTURES IN THE SOUTH.
