for the legislature —don’t understand me to B ay that if you please ; lam not crazy yet —no, not I; and don’t intend to run in that race,'l assure you ; but a candidate for pro motion in the rank of literature, and it you will just give me a chance, sir, after this, I will tell you such tales—write you such tr y deal you out such sketches of cha racter, incidents, fragments, ct id onungenus, as you have not read in a month before. All I want is a chance—a half a chance, and I am in for it —the whole hog—yes, the whole hog, sir. I have the utmost confi dence in my own powers, and have no fears as to the result. It is true, that it is to me an untried field, never yet having ventured to try my powers in the department of let ters. But what of that 1 every thing has a beginning, or ought to have; and l know it is in me, and I intend to have it out. But being an untried hand at the business, I do not know yet which department I shall take, whether proso or poetry —whether I shall write tales, sketches or essays. I intend to try them all, and then I shall be a better judge. I think my forte will be tale-telling, as, among my companions, I have always been called a crack nag at the business, and. it seems to me, if a fellow can tell a tale well by word of mouth, he can certainly write it well, when he takes timeforit—and I shall take time. So you may look out one of these days for a tale; it may be a long or a short tale —I can’t tell yet, but a tale it shall he to a certainty. Poetry, I don’t know so well about that; it may be hard to work it off to my notion, and as l have never learned to talk in poetry, I may not be able to write in poetry. But that is neither here nor there—l shall notl>e satisfied until I try. I will take a good time for it, some day or other when my nap is up, and see if I can’t spin out a few verses, that will astonish the whole tribe of mon grel poetasters of newspaper notoriety. I’ll do it to a dead certainty, sir—l feel it in me. The fire—the poetic fire, is now burn ing, and the thoughts are already leaping about in my brain “ like mad;” but, I shall keep them under for the present, and after a while I shall give them a chance ; I’ll call them up agaiu, and then—oh ! shade of By ron, or any body else—then I’ll weave you such a poem as shall excite the envy, and call for the praise of all. As it regards an essay, or any thing of that sort, I think I can do that up to the handle. I shall certainly make the effort very soon, and the -first subr ject thut shall engage my pen, may be found in the “Miscellany” of July 30th, 1842. II is contained in ail article “ from the scrap book of J. Brown, of Pincliback,” and is the first sentence of the last paragraph, and is in these words: “ The greatest casualities are often caus ed by the most trifling incidents in their original effects upon the end contemplated.” Here, sir, is the entire thing, verbatim ct literatum ct punctuatim. That shall be the suliject of my first essay ; and if I do not dissect that morceau to your heart’s content, then you may say, I cau’t come it! that’s all. It’s a glorious theme. Enough is re vealed of the meaning of ihe author, to lay the foundation works of a most glorious es say, and euough is unrevealed to keep a man a guessing for the balance of his life time—and I can guess just about right, and of these shall be composed the building which I propose to erect on the aforesaid foundation. Shan’t I fix it all up after the most approved fashion ? Well, I guess 1 will. And now, sir, let me close this—this— what shall I call it 1 ’Tis not a song, nor is itaseimon. No matter what it is; as I said every thing has a beginning, or ought to have—so every thing has an end, or ought to have; and so shall this, or it shall not be my fault. You shall bear from me again, Mr. Editor, if you do the thing decently, and, as I hinted, give me a pud'occasionally to help me on, for as I write to be praised, I’d as soon you would praise me as any bo dy else. JESSE. Pinhook Point . For the “Southern Miscellany.” “ABEL PARSONS, OR A BROTH ER’S REVENGE.” This is the title of anew story, issued from the ever-teeming establishment of the editors of the “ New World. ” The scene “f the story is the city of New York; the time, the year 183S. I gave it but a hasty perusal, and am not prepared to enter into an elaborate or criti cal review of the work. The irapressiou left upon my mind is favorable. I believe it to he one of the best stories of the day. It is powerfully written, and gives the clearest evidence that the author has deeply read the human heart. The plot is a good one, and is in the main well developed, and suf ficiently interesting. The principal char acters are well conceived, and well sustain ed. Two of the characters are, however, over drawn. Human nature is bad enough, hut it is hard to imagine a man so given up to the desire of revenge as is Abel Parsons, or so lost to all the finer feelings of the human fheart as Edgar Davenant. To my mind, these characters are unnatural, and yet they are powerfully delineated, and ably sustained, l'he work, too, bears upon its race the evidence of haste and prec : pitation. It appears to have been rapidly written; and hence the want of connexion in some of its parts —plainly observable by the most nipid reader. I he great fire of 1835 is finely woven in to tlie story, and made a part of the plot, leading to the denoument. It is most gra phically described, I and must have been written by an eye witness. It was a happy thought to have Sampson and Aleck, the in cendiaries, who fired the city, blown up in one of the buildings which they were rob “l n g- It was a firey death of their own kindling, and well merited. Upon the whole the work will rank with the American novels of tho day, and will 080 nothing in the comparison. ’ E. tt?” Copies of the above work can bo had of S. A. Holmes, Augusta. — Ed.

The publication of “ Cousin Billy Barlow’s letter about matters and things,” in the vicinity of Macon, isde clined. The author neglected to furnish us with his nnme, and we cannot consent to assume its re sponsibility, however much we should like to “see the fun!” We regret that we cannot publish a notice of the July number of the “Family Companion,” as furnished by a correspondent. It is well written, and expresses our sentiments, but we cannot devote so large a por tion of our columns, as it will necessarily occupy, to any one of our periodicals. “Toa Robin,” “The Liberty Pole,” “To my cousin Mary,” and “ The Drunkard’s last wish,” are re spectfully declined, us are also “Locomotive’s” views on the subject of stage travelling. “A month at the Indian Springs” shall have a place when the author sends us his name. Fictitious names will not serve our purpose in matters of the’ kind. We know nothing of the matteralluded to by “ P. R. G,” in his favor of the 10th instant. We shall hold “ Jesse” to all the promises he has made us, and shall expect the “ essay” in time for our next. Come, “Jesse” don’t back out now. ATTENTION DELINQUENTS ! Do those of our subscribers who have neglected to pay us the pittance due for our paper, suppose that we can work for nothing, and find ourselves, and live by it! We have a great many subscribers with whom we agreed to wait a few weeks from the date of their subscription, who still continue to neglect us, notwithstanding we have since reminded them of the agreement, and our need of the money. We have requested those to whom our paper was sent to send it back if they were not disposed to have their names upon our list. They have not returned the paper, or sent the money. A very little attention, and the payment of the little sum of two dollars and fifty cents by each one who is in arrears, would place us beyond embarrassment. We like to receive patronage —it is our dependence—but such patrons as receive the benefit pf our labor, without paying for it, will soon he stricken from our books. A VOLUNTEER COMPANY Might be formed in our town with little trouble, and at a small expense; and we should be pleased to see the attention of our fellow-citizens drawn to the subject. It is important, we think, that a military power should in some way be kept in existence. Our social organization—the people of the South need not be told—requires the pre sence of an armed force, sufficiently equip ped and prepared, to meet any danger aris ing from such source, which may threat en peace and life. It may l>e said, there is no probability that military aid will be needed for quelling domestic disturbance. So oth er communities have supposed, until the storm broke forth, aud it was too late to or ganize a force to arrest it, until bloodshed and death had paid the price of their ne glect. When we feel the most secure we are usually the most exposed. In a national point of view, it is also a matter of the first importance that a military force should be well organized and equipped, and regarded by the people with a proper respect. The time has not yet arrived when the nations are to “ learn war no more,” and the “peace establishment” are none of them chimereal enough to believe that our country may not yet, and perhaps soon, be involved in a dif ficulty which can only be settled by arms. But our “ militia system,” as it is at present conducted, is little more than a mere farce. So little attention has been paid to it (we speak in relation to our own State) that it has at last become a subject of ridicule. A true military spirit we regard as conducive to patriotism ; but to talk of the patriotism fostered by our militia musters is worse than absurdity. Legislators—to use a parliamentary phrase—have had the subject under consi deration ; but have been unable to recom mend any plan as a substitute. The only course, then, we have to adopt is to apply such corrective and reforming measures to tho existing system as “we tho people” may deem proper, and are at liberty tocarry into operation. Onesuohmeasure is tho for mation of volunteer corps. It diffuses through B<D ID mmHi St fil H.Q <0 IB lb &A SI ITa a community a military spirit, redeems our military parades from disgrace, and awakens some respect for the citizen soldiery of the country. The existence of such a company causes an improvement in the discipline and appearance of the multitude who are annu ally called out for regimental muster. The influence of such an example on the part of a portion of their fellow citizens, will be seen in a more strict observance of duty by their officers, and the more orderly and martial appearance of their ranks while dis charging an obligation enjoined upon them by the laws of the land. We hope the gentleman who has recent ly been elected to the command of our regi ment, will not regard the intimations we have made of a neglect of duty among our military officers as being thrown out with an eye to him; for we believe be is disposed to be faithful to his trust, and take care that “ the law in such cases made and provided” is duly executed. We have it on oui pen’s end to compliment our Colonel for his judg ment in the selection of a staff, but as we to he one of these official dignitaries ourself, our readers might consider the allu sion rather personal. But, as our clerical friends say, to our subject. We can dis cover 110 good reason why our proposition should not be favorably received,and carried _ into effect at once. In such times as the present, the expense, if it were great, would be a natural and reasonable objection; hut arms would in all probability be furnished by the State, and a uniform in all respects as suitable as any other might be procured for fifteen dollars. We go for domestic manufactures, and the handicraft of the wives and daughters of Georgia can furnish us cloth for our uniform, amply suitable for the soldier or the gentleman. Suitable caps and ornaments could be obtained at a tri fling cost. A costume that is plain, com fortable and substantial, is in much better taste for the soldier than the profusion of tinsel and lace, and the cumbrous weight of gaudy trappings with which we have some times seen men burdened. They are thus, as Napoleon said of the Prussians, better pre pared for review than for battle. Music would be indispensable, and some may sup pose the difficulty in obtaining a band would be insuperable : not so; there are instru ments owned by the citizens of the town which will be furnished free of charge, and performers, no doubt, will be in readiness whenever a company shall require their ser vices. What objection, then,to an “inde pendent company 1” We speak particu larly to young men, for we expect them to make the first move. If they agtee with us, let them call a meeting, and have the thing done. CONGRESS Is still very busy making speeches and passing laws. Some of their speeches are made for “ Buncombe,” some for the grati fication of the speakers themselves, some for the castigation of private foes, and a few for the elucidation of subjects under discus sion. Congress are unfortunately at log gerheads with the President, or rather the President with Congress, and the conse quence is, he vetoes the most important acts which they pass. If legislation can relieve the country, it is certainly lamentable that the different branches of government can not agree upon the plan. But we have no idea that they will, at least, for the present. The Whigs are unyielding in their opposi tion to Captain Tyler, and the Captain is as determined not to be headed. The two houses of Congress may, and probably will, discuss and deliberate for six weeks to come, but to no purpose. This difference of opin ion between our representatives and Chief Magistrate reudere the government essenti ally powerless. One of the two parties must be egregiously in error, to warrant such an adhesion to opinion by the other, as, in the present condition of the country, prevents a compromise to afford relief.— There is, however, Do hope of such relief, and the sooner the session closes, the better.

ARRIVAL OF THE COLUMBIA. Three days later from England. The steamship Columbia, with the mail of July 19th, from Liverpool, arrived at Boston on the Ist instant. North and South American Coffee ) House, London, j Tuesday, July 19, 4 o’clock, A. M. Mr. Charles Willmer, News Agent, Liver pool. Sir —Youi determination again to run a special express to Liverpool with the morn ing papers of the day of the steamer’s sail ing, has induced me to delay forwarding my summary of news until this hour, thereby being enabled to give you the latest intelli gence received in the metropolis for the Columbia. Since the departure of the Great Wes tern, which sailed from Biistol on Saturday last, no eveut of striking importance has occurred. The accounts from the manufac turing districts continue to be of the most alarming and fearful character. The dis tress and starvation that exists in every part of the country is appalling in the extreme; and without some improvement in trade speedily takes place, it is difficult to say what will be the result of the movements which are every where taking place. In Staffordshire and other districts of the Pot teries, the colliers are going about in bands demanding contributions from the trades men } and unless they shortly return to their labors the potters will be thrown out of Work by the want of coal. Yeomanry and troops are pouring into Newcastle undei- Lyne and the adjoining places, and serious collisions are hourly expected, though as yet it does not appear that any serious distur hances have occurred. In Manchester, Leeds and Lockpprt, the excitement is im mense, and some idea of the state of things in the first named place may be formed from the fact that the following resolution has been adopted at the meeting of the Anti- Corn Law Association held at that place: “ That believing this country to be on the eve of a revolution, and being utterly without hope that the Legislature accord justice to the starving millions, a requisition be forthwith prepared, signed, and forwarded to the members for this borough, calling upon them (in conjunction with other Liberal members,) to offer every opposition and im pediment to the taxation of a prostrate peo ple, for the purposes of a bread-taxing aris tocracy —that the wheels of government may be at once arrested through the rejec tion or prevention of votes of supply.” Public meetings have been held at Leeds, Liverpool, and a variety of other places, at which the speakers have indulged m a strain of language of the most dangerous and re volutionary character. In Stockport, it is stated that tho amount, paid in wages, has been reduced to 8,000 per week, and from Bto 10,000 persons have been deprived of work. A number of additional mills have been closed, jn Manchester, including two belonging to William Guest, Esq. by which upwards of 600 hands have been deprived of the means of subsistence. There can be no denying the fact that their exists in the country an immense amount of want and misery ; but at the same time there can be no doubt but that the policy pursued by one of the political sections of the country is very detrimental, which, instead of alle viating the many who are suffering from want, only tends to keep active a spirit of hostility to the government, and thereby en dangertng the safety of the country. The Anti-Corn Law Conference have issued an other circular, calling upon *the people to hold meetings and send deputations to Lou don to consult with the league, and to seek an interview, not only with Sir Robert Peel, but the whole cabinet, and lay before the members of the same such an account of the state of trade as shall, it is thought, in duce them to prolong the sitting of Parlia ment, end reconsider the questions a repeal of the corn and other provision laws. France. —The Parisian papers, are filled with matters growing out of the late me lancholy death of the Duke of Orleans. The first expressions of grief and regret which they made at the untimely death of the Prince, are giving place to political par ty. The regency question is at present the most dominant one in Paris. The Koval Ordnance convoking the Chambers for the 26th inst, has been issued and is known to be for the purpose of pass ing a Regency Bill: and all parties begin to regard this question as the first trial of strength. The semi-ministerial journals announce that the intention of the Govern ment and King is to have the Duke of Ne mours appointed Regent, the Dutchess of Orleans remaining tutoress of her children. No sooner was this known than opposition began to cabal against it. It has been alleged that M. Thiers has al ready and openly espoused the Regency of the Dutchess of Orleans. The Courier de Lyon of the 6th states that the rain which fell in that neighborhood on the preceding day had completely dissi pated all fears for the harvest. Portugal. —We have accounts from Lis bon to the 11th inst. The opening of the cortes took place on the preceding day by the Queen, who delivered the usual speech. Spain. —The Madrid papers of the 7th complain of the insecurity of the highways, which are infested with brigrands in every direction. The Valenica stage coach was stopped by twenty mounted knights of the road, wbo pillaged the passengers and took away the horses. The Madrid Gazette of the Ist, contains a circular from the Minister of War, com manding the organization of the detach ments of troops for the purpose of putting an end to smuggling. Austria. —The Courier de Lyon, of the 10th, announces a serious disturbance to have broken out at the Mantua between.tbe Jews and Christians, The government was obliged to interfere by force; but the people tore up the pavement and attacked the soldiers with stones; who fired on the multitude, killing fifty persons and wound ing many. The disturbances still continued, and no Jew dated ts make his appearance in the streets. MAIL ARRANGEMENTS. Northern Mail—due daily, by 31 o’clock, ak. ; departs daily, at 7, r. m.

JAMES C. TATE, C. C. O. July 23 3wml7 Berkshire Hog& rl£ subscriber having been for some time engaged in raising Berkshire stock, would inform those who feel desirous of improving their Hogs, that he has now on band eight or ten SUPERIOR 80WS, selected from the stock of the best breeders St the North, vis i From Mr Loosing, of Albany, New-York, one eow ; from Mr. C. N. Bement, of Three Hills Farm, near Al bany, three sows ; and Irom Messrs. A. & G. Bfentnall, of Canterbury, New-York, three Sows —together with some of my own raising, the produce of some of the above named sows. 1 have also a boar from Mr. Los aing, and a very superior boar from Mr. Bement, My stock of bogs are the produce of the most cele brated boars ever imforteo into this country, among which may be mentioned Reading, Black Prince, Siday, Ontario, and Jack of Newburg, who arc too well known to require comment. My boar “Marquis,” purchased from Mr. Bement, was pronounced by that gentleman superior in point of form to his celebrated boar “Rip Van Winkle,” (his half-brother,) who received the first prize at the Fair of tlie New-York Slate Agricultural Society, held at Syracuse in September last. I have also a full blooded China sow, purchased from Mr, Be ment, whose produce by Marquis, 1 shall have to dis pose of this fall. I have one pair of White Hogs, a large English breed, imported direct from England, and landed in Savannah in June last; and also a very su perior Berkshire sow, imported direct, who will shortly arrive, Those who wish to ascertain the quality of my stock are referred to a communication front Air. Bement, in the May number of the Cultivator, accompanying the portrait of Rip Van Winkle, in which he says: “lsent last year to Mr. John Bon nei, of White Plains, Georgia, several breeding sows, and no one, 1 assure you. has been more rigidor particular to procure the fuse blood, and the host animals too. Applicants for pigs, in that section, may depend on procuring from him the real * simeon pures.’ ” 1 deem it but justice to myself to state, that at the Fair of the “ Planter’s Club,” of Han cock County, held at Sparta, on the Cth of December last, the only prize awarded for a boar, was given to “ Black John,' 1 a pig four months and twelve days old, and weighing IG6 pounds that day. The above pig Was bred by myself and sold to Mr. A. E. W. Brown, near Sparta, and was the only one of mv stock that was present at the Fair, It is necessary also to state that full and written ped igrees, running back to the original stock Ixforteo from England, Witt be given of every pig pur chased from me, together with a certificate of age. To the produce of the sow purchased from Mr. Loosing I can give no pedigree on the mother’s side, not having been able to procure one from him. 1 have been par ticulariy careful to obtain full and correct pedigrees, not only for the purpose of procuring the best stock, but because without them, no breeder can ascertain wheth er or not he ia really crossing his stock, which is ad mitted by all to be very essential. 1 believe that 1 have been at more trouble and greater expense, than any other man in Georgia, in obtaining the very best hogs, invariably ordering the best without limitation of price, 1 have contracted for, and will receive this fall, from Mr. A.
