constant and shameful practice of our old Mother, England. B. Savannah, Georgia. For the “ Southern Miscellany.” SKETCHES FROM THE HILL—NO.I. the literary exquisite Mr. Editor —For sometime past, we have been extremely amused at the freaks of a certain female genus in this neighborhood. Truly, our risible propensities have, it would seem, been schooled to little purpose; for the very approach of this, as we shall denominate it, Literary Exquisite, incites associations of the most ludicrous nature. We have always thought that the refinement of mind lent an influence to that of the per son, and that the truly gifted could be al most identified by their majestic deport ment —as if they felt, to its full extent, the importance of that superior knowledge which was to constitute them the oracles of an enlightened people. Judge, then, Mr. Editor, what must be the effect of the con trast which offers itself in the person of our Exquisite. Her figure—how shall I des cribe it 1 If we had ever seen one of the kind described before, we might make use of the author’s privilege and borrow ; but alas! such is not the case, and we are com pelled to furnish you some idea, however insufficient of the person in question. But, first, let me ask you, Mr. Editor, are you a military man 1 If you are you will under stand us when we say that our description must be given in the words of an old mili tary friend—“’Bi >ut face!” There! we take considerable credit to ourself for the ingenuity displayed in ac complishing so difficult a task in so few words. But, say you—what does it mean ? Have we not just told you that it was in genious for its brevity; and we are not go ing to mar it by addition—suffice it that it has a meaning. With this most comprehensive description of figure we shall proceed. The manners of our Exquisite partake of as much refinement of genius as her per son. But what of this 1 her province is to instruct by precept, and not by example. llow can she be expected to devote the en ergies of her giant mind to the great and important interests of Literature, and, at the same time, give thought to those minor considerations of social and polite inter course ? Some malicious persons have been ill-natured enough to hint the old adage of ■“ what’s bred in the bone,” &c., but we must attribute this to their incompetency to judge of the absorbing duties of genius. Os what importance are those little formali ties which can only make us agreeable to a limited circle of acquaintances, compared with the great object of enlightening the whole world from the vast stores of knowl edge contained in one little cranium 1 Al though it may be a great deprivation for our social circles to forego the graceful accom plishments which characterise true gentility in the person of our Exquisite ; yet, as a true republican, we must content for the in terest of the many in preference to that of the few. It in the versatility of her mind, our Li terary Exquisite excels in any one thing, it is in what is most unpoetically termed “ scissorising.” This she has reduced to a system ; and to such a degree of perfection has she arrived, it were almost impossible to suppose those exalted sentiments and poetic expressions originated elsewhere than in her own superior mind. Truly this is an invaluable secret of which she is possessed, and she is justly entitled to all the honor de rived from it. Honor! I think I hear you ejaculate. Certainly, sir; and to allay all doubts on the subject, I’ll give you Shak spear as authority: “He that is robbed, not wanting what’s stolen, is not robbed at all.” The Exquisite hails from the North, but her interest, at present, lying South, she has, of course, adopted the not uncommon expedient of “Southern principles.” Wheth er this amalgamation effects good or evil to the South, in the majority of cases, we can not say; but in this instance it cannot be de nied that we are greatly indebted to the North for allowing such an invaluable plant to be transplanted in our soil, and to that plant, for condescending to flourish in so sterile a country. Look at the illustration in Nicholas Nickle by, page 214, and you will recognise in Ralph Nickleby, a striking resemblance to the Exquisite’s most particular and intimate friend, the “ Doctor Independence is a great trait in the human character—and the Exquisite boasts of it to a considerable.extent. True, like sensible people, she acknowledges the influence of the Fdlow God, and bows submissively at his foot stool. She would not offend the raouied aristocracy by being over nice in her ideas of independence. She is indebted, but not dependent upon the poor for her own support. What boots it if her independent notions do not tend to the just renumeration of those in her service—what right have they to expect it 1 Is it not honor and glory sufficient for them to serve her 1 Dare they to remonstrate 1 They should learn obedi ence to their “ Master /” With many virtues, who can but admire the character we have drawn of the Exqui eite ! If any there are, so obdurate as to form their own opinions, in opposition to ours, why, we cannot help it—“ the wife, man, mon ha her way.” But of this you may be assured, Mr. Editor, it is no “ fancy eketch” I’ve written you.

A correspondent has furnished us with “a succinct account of the exercises of Penfield College,” but having neglected impart to us his real name, we de cline its publication. “GLORY AND SHAME OF ENGLAND.” In another column will be found an article in defence of a work entitled as above, which recently received at the hands of the “ Magnolia” a severe, and, as our corres pondent thinks, unjust criticism. We have never seen Mr. Lester’s Book, and cannot, therefore, “ pass judgment.” Our columns are open to any who may think differently with “ B.” on the merits of the Book. JOTHAM HOTCHKISS Has favored us with a few capital re marks on “ Agricultur,” to which we beg to call the attention of our readers. [See “ The Farmer,” on fourth page.] FRANKLIN COLLEGE. In another part of this day’s paper will be found an account of the “ actings and doings” in Athens, during Commencement, which has been kindly furnished us by an esteemed friend. The following are a list of the Graduating Class : J. R. McCarter, of Franklin Coun ty ; H. Hull, Jr., of Athens; James C. Cook, of Columbus; William H. Felton, of Athens; Alfred Buckner, of Monroe Coun ty ; John H. Harper, of Greensboro’; Thomas Hamilton, of Athens: John M. White, of Elbert County ; I’eyton Moore, of Athens ; John W. Wafford, of Spartan burg, South Carolina ; John C. Vason, of Morgan County ; and A. C. Carlington, of Laurens, South Carolina. The honorary degree of A. M. was con ferred on the following named gentlemen : E. W. Harris, J. B. Jones, Ro : P. Trippe, B. F. Whitner, J. Phinizy, Walker, and S. C. Nisbet. THE WASHINGTONIANS Held their regular meeting on Wednes day night. It was well attended, and inter esting and appropriate addresses were delivered by Major William Woods and Colonel Augustus Alden. The latter gen tleman took up the objections to Total Absti nence, drawn from Scripture, and ans wered them most handsomely and conclusively. Both, as they informed us in their remarks, spoke from experience, and bore testimony to the evil effects of the vile destroyer—Al cohol—and the happy results of Total Ab stinence. On Thursday night, the Hono rable E. A. Nisbet delivered an address on the same subject, which, like every thing else from this distinguished man, was listen ed to with the highest pleasure. His argu ments were strong and conclusive; his style polished and elegant. Mr. N. is an advo cate worthy of the cause, and the cause worthy of such an advocate. Several names were added to the Pledge on both evenings —ours among the rest. Henceforward and forever we are a Washingtonian. We be lieve we are aiding one of the greatest and bestof causes, and we hope those who agree with us, will show their sincerity, and •* go and do likewise.” We had a very pleasant interview with our friend and “ brother chip,” Mr. Cline, of the ” Georgia Jeffersonian,” on Thursday last. He was on his way home from Athens, wither he bad gone to attend the Commencement exercises. He attend ed our Temperance Meeting, accompanied by ourself, and expressed himself highly pleased with the Address of the Honorable E. A. Nesbit, and at the very pretty “ turn out” made by our citizens on the occasion. COLONEL THOMAS PINCKNEY. We learn from the Charleston Courier, of Monday last, that a letter had been re ceived in that city conveying the melancho ly intelligence that Colonel Thomas Pick ney, died at Paris oq the 6th ultimo, two days after bis arrival ip that city. ‘a <D UM* mEIB MUSUMBiLILAH'Sr* AGRICULTURE. We would remind our Agricultural rea ders of the Convention of Farmers which is to be held at Milledgeville, on the second Monday in November next, and express our hope that there will be sufficient interest felt on the subject, in our own County, to ap point delegates. We are not a farmer, nor the son of a farmer, but we feel a great de sire to see our planting interest improved, and we wish to see measures taken for the prosperity of that highly valuable and hon orable portion of the commonwealth, who are engaged in the cultivation of the soil. We look upon them as the conservatives of our social compact. They are yeomanry of the land, on whose honest hearts and clear heads, we rely for the preservation of those institutions which distinguish our social or ganization and our form of government. It is time the Farmer had occupied that place in the world’s estimation to which the digni ty of his vocation, and his moral and politi cal importance to society, entitles him. The time is coming—and we hope we may live to see it—when the learned and refined will turn aside from the liberal professions and seek, in the employment of Agriculture, that exercise of cultivated taste, and the op portunity of improving art by the application of science, which such occupation so amply offers. Public opinion will be so far cor rected and elevated that no one (although, perhaps, he may be too “ lacy”) will be ashamed to “ dig.” There are drones in the world whose time is employed in con suming the products of the labor of others, and sporting away their day of fashion, and pomp, and glitter, and hollow-hearted plea sure ; and glory it) what they call “ refine ment ;” they consider themselves the elite— the very corintliian capital of society—and hold the individual who labors, and especi ally the practical farmer, who is engaged in the employment which God gave to man be fore he fell, as “vulgar;” and yet, with such people, “ the march of mind” and “the improvement of society” are favorite themes. They talk as though the perfection of the hu man race depended upon the imitation of their example, and virtue and common sense were exploded humbugs, and the attributes of inferior minds. They would have man kind ambitious only to pay his oblations at the shrine of fashion, to spend his time in the giddy—whirl of frivolous amusement— forget his responsibility to his Maker and his fellow-men—despise wisdom, and trifle with virtue. But the time is approach ing when our country, at least, will be purg ed from the abominable infection of their example; when the real dignity of labor will be appreciated, and he who accomplishes most for the happiness of the world will be deemed the most meritorious ; when he who subserves the end for which he was created, will hold the highest place in the es teem of others, and be deemed the only true aristocrat, the only real nobleman. Our country, we are presuming, is to advance in social improvement, and unless we “advance backwards ” virtue, and industry—her hand maid—will in due time be the chief passports to distinction, for they are the only sources of national stability and prosperity. And, as we know of no class which exhibit these qualities in greater perfection than that which is engaged in the pursuits of Agriculture, we wish to see it raised to its proper level. Public attention should be aroused : the attractions and strong induce ments which the occupation of the Farmer offers to the man of learning should be made the subjects of popular discussion. Men of intellect, and wealth, and influence, should recommend its pursuit, and, by their exam, pie, induce a suitable respect for those who are engaged in it; young men who are an nually graduating at our Colleges should be induced to adopt it, that, instead of dozing away an obscure and miserable existence, through the vain conceit of being consider ed above the necessity of “work,” may they enjqy a life of independence and comfort, raise the reputation of an employment, se cond in real importance to none, by giving their weight of character, and thus be of some service to the world. The political economist needs no argu ment to show the great importance, to eve ry classjand condition, offostering the interest of the Farmer. Our Agricultural products are the chief item of our national wealth, and, at the same time, the support of every other resource. If the fruits of the earth fail, the whole system of trade and manu factures stagnates and stops, and can only be revived when the Farmer shall furnish the nutriment on which its life depends A country can hardly fail to be prosperous so long as the earth yields its abundance to her Farmers, and they are regarded as the great moversofthe machinery of trade; and we re gard the effort now making for improve ment in the art of Agriculture as one of the brightest “ signs of the time.” We hope the reformation will go forward, aud the highest hopes of its advocates realized. Our State thus far has done but little; but experience in other States, with a soil like our own, has proved what may be done. This call for a State Convention, we hope, for the honor of Georgia, will not be disre gaided; at least, let the county of Morgan do her duty. Let delegates be appointed promptly. Her example may do good. THE “ ORION ” “ CONSISTENCY. ” We contemplated writing a somewhat extended answer to “ Consistency, ” in the “ Savannah Republican,” but a little reflec tion convinced us that we weic about mak ing too muctifuss over a very small matter. We did say that the “ Orion ” was the star magazine of the South in point of ty pography, and, in that particular, was sur passed by none in the country; we say so still, but at that time we were not aware that Mr. Richards had taken so much pains to impose a work on us, and the South gene rally, as emanating from Penfield, Georgia, which was in reality secretly printed in New York. On discovering this deception, our indignation was roused, and we immediate ly .exposed it. Mr. Richards, we under stand—indeed we might gather as much from the tone of his work, if we had no oth er evidence of the fact—is an Englishman. This circumstance, however, would not pre judice us were he prosecuting his enterprise here among us—were he one of us—and were all classes of our community benefited by the share of business and employment which his work would bring to the common stock of Southern enterprise; but to see a foreigner, seizing upon the popular preju dices of our people, and soliciting patronage for a work issuing from the Northern press, and, to all appearance, made up mainly of old English stories, new vamped, and alter ed to suit our latitude, we confess is rather more than we can tamely bear. These renegardos are after all to be distrusted, whether they vapor about our literature in the pages of the“ Orion,” or ape Southern feeling in the gentle “ Companion.” But who is “ Consistency 1” We strong ly opine that the Editor of the “ Orion ” might answer this question in propria per sona—otherwise, the testimony is worthless. Look at the last page of the June number of the “ Orion,” then on the blue cover of the July number, and you will perceive that, when it suits his convenience, the Edi tor can prevariate pretty strongly. He says, “ The work of several days is yet necessa ry to perfect the plate in the style we de sign to have all our Engravings executed.” Again : “ The plate— without accident— will be ready for our next number.” In the next (July) number, he says, “ Nothing has been done to the plate” Oh! Consistency, thou art a jewel! We did esteem honesty one of the cardinal virtues, and Mr. “Orion” one of the honorable men, but, alas ! in the latter, we were mistaken. We ask again, who is “ Consistency I” Will the Editor answer this question 1 and, perhaps, he may find it in his heart to an swer another—Who is “ Inez V’ —for we should rejoice to have a good danceuse to poisonetto at our tout ensemble. Correspondence of the “Southern Miscellany.” Athens, August 4,1842. Mr. Hanltiter — The exercises of Com mencement have just closed. I have only a very few minutes that I can appropriate— which I must do “ currents calamo” —to giv ing you a brief sketch of this great literary festival. I scarcely know with what to com mence. I must adopt somewhat the form of a will, in order not to omit some of the most important actings and doings of the last few days. Item —The annual Commencement Ser mon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Few, to an enlightened audience on the3lst July. 1 had not pleasure of being present, but have heard it spoken of in flattering terms. Item —The weather on Monday morning, the great day of arrival, was highly unfavor able, and, no doubt, prevented many from coming who would otherwise have honored the occasion ; but on Tuesday—-the first day of College Exercises—the heavens bore a different aspect. It was like the balmy day of opening spring; nature seemed to sympathise with the occasion, and not to wish to throw any obstacle in the way of enjoyment. At 10 o’clock, the Junior Ora tions commenced, and much maturity of in tellect was exhibited by the young gentle men, who had the honor of an appointment as orator. The audience, which was very large, were highly pleased, and many were the compliments bestowed, deservedly, on the youthful speakers. I cannot particular ize, as tine will not permit. I send you a card containing the speakers’ names and subjects. At J o’clock, P. M., the Address before the Alumni Society was delivered by H. V. Johnson, Esq., of Jefferson—an ora tion replete with able views in behalf of education, and one whose publication would do much good. I should be do ing injustice to the occasion, if I passed over an address by Colonel Lumpkin, on Tuesday night, on the subject of temperance, in which the speaker displayed the eloquence of the Orator, and the benevolence of the philanthropist. Item —Wednesday—Commencement day —the Graduating class concluded their Col legiate career, in making their last speeches and receiving their degrees. I send you also a handbill containing an account of names and subjects. As with the Junior Orators, I must pass over these without dis criminating. All were good and several excellent. The President’s Address whs, as usual with him, full of good advise, ably enforced, and showing clearly that the good wishes of the instructor would follow the object;, of his care throughout life. ltem^—> Judge Law, of Savannah, was the Orator before the two Societies on the next day—Thursday—and well did this distin guished son of Georgia discharge his duty. Chaste in his style—graceful in bis delivery —able in his argument, and forcible in his illustrations—he fully and completely es tablished to a listening and delighted au dience, the necessity of a close union be tween the intellectual and moral nature of man. The address will be published,* and time forbids any analysis. Item —A round of gaiety and social en joyment will now succeed, and I assure you there is rich materials present to secure it. 1 should be pleased to make this sketch more perfect, but am forced to conclude for this to reach you in time. What I have left out will give you a subject for an editorial, and as you will see many from this place, I will leave it for you and them to finish. P. SUCH COOt WEATHER, For the month of August, as we have liad for the last few- days, we have never before experienced. Fires and overcoats were ve ry comfortable on Monday and Tuesday, and those who neglected to wear the latter, probably, like ourself, took cold. Such weather is extremely unfavorable to health —even dangerous; and our citizens cannot well be too careful in avoiding exposure to the night air, or abstaining from fruit. Wa termelons are full of “ chill and fever,” and peaches, if eaten, should be followed by a dose of No. 6. The “ weather,” as we heard several remark this morning, “is warmer to-day.” “THE FAMILY COMPANION.” The July number of this work was re ceceived yesterday. THE PRESIDENCY. Colonel Benton has written a letter to a friend in Detroit, from which the following extract is taken: “ You are in error in classing roe among those who are before the People for the Presidency. I have taken care to keep myself out of that category —Jirsthj, by de clining a nomination from the citizens of Philadelphia city and county ; and, second ly, by publicly declaring myself in favor of Mr. Van Buren. These public demonstra tions, on my part, must have escaped the observation of such of my friends in your quarter, as have classed me among the list of candidates or expectants, at the ensuing canvass.” (£7“ The Printing business in the United States is estimated to give employment to two hundred thousand persons and thirty millions of capital. * £7**lt is stated that Herr Cline, the cele brated rope dancer, has been killed in Mex ico by a party of brigands.
