TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.
VVc will endeavor to find room for the selections sent
uaby “Alpha.”
“Ficsco” has our thanks. We will give his second
poem in our next. He shall hear from us soon about
matters and tilings.
We are anxiously w aiting to hear from some of our old
friends. We trust the hard times lias not entirely
quenched their taste for composition.
“ltanqno’s” article is but a mere ghost of a production.
The writer can do better if he tries.
Wonder what scrap-book “* * *” stole his lines “To
Alary” from? We do not receive stolen goods, if
we know it.

OCTOBER.
Hail to thee, grave old month ! with thy
frosty locks, and temperate breath, and even
pulse. Thou bast reached the third climac
teric, and in thy sober face we trace none of
the fervor of impetuous youth. Thou dc
liohtest notin the sudden freaks of sun-shine
and shower of thy young sister, April, nor
iu the hot vehemence or terrific rage of fiery
July. There is a mild serenity in thy every
humor that becomes thy day r.nd season.—
Thy smile is grateful and placid, thy frown
is stern and dignified, and thy sighs are like
an old man’s grief-—deep and sad. Thou
delightest in long evenings anti the cheery
blaze of good fat lightwood-knots—in good
old tales and merry jokes. Thou art a fire
side guest, and though the day has gone by
“ When our grand-dads, in stout October,
Thought it a sin to go to bed sober,”
(thanks to the Washingtonians,) still art thou
a favorite visiter—still art thou welcomed
by the merry glee of romping children, the
glowing smile of mischievous youth and
beauty, and the sober salutation of reflecting
age. Thou art a friend to love-making
swains and beautiful maidens —to venturous
’coon hunters, and stocking-knitting matt otis.
Thou hast united many kindred hearts by
the dim fire-light of thy long evenings. Thou
hast given to the weary, joyous intervals be
tween hours of care and hours of unconsci
ous dreaming. Thou hast afforded the read
ers of the “Miscellany” many an intellec
tual treat —many a contemplative hour —
many a gracious lesson. Then hail to thee,
old month! May we be enabled to give
thee an extra blanket, and a blazing chunk,
as often as it is our good fortune to greet
thy annual return; and may wc have no
friend on earth incapable of appreciating,
with thee, the greatest luxuries of Georgia
life—fat lightvvood to burn, good sweet po
tatoes to roast, the “ Southern Miscellany”
to read, with a pair of bright laughing eyes
looking over bis shoulder !
TO THE POLLS ! TO THE POLLS ! !
Our exchange papers from every quarter,
particularly those of our own State, are loud
in their appeals to the patriotism of the peo
ple. Whigs and democrats agree in deckl
ing that the destinies of future generations
are at stake, and that next Monday is to de
cide the political fortunes of Georgia for all
time. The editors are uttering their last
rallying speeches, and it is not unfrequently
that we meet with efforts such as would
“move the very stones of Rome to rise in
mutiny.” But as often as we change the
paper, so we change the argument, and on
the opposite side we read all fair that was so
foul, all ttuc that was so false, all right that
was so wrong, and we arc led to wonder
how an intelligent reader, who places any
reliance in what he reads, is enabled to re
pose any degree of confidence in the politics
and politicians of either complexion. But
so it goes—and each party are firm in the
conviction that they are right, and on next
Monday many a patriotic vote will be poled
on both sides.
Now in these matters we are neutral —
that is, our paper is neutral —nevertheless
we have a political creed as well as ourneigh
bors— one in which we weie bred, and from
which we have never departed. We would
feel that wo did not deserve to enjoy the
privileges of a frocman were we destitute of
political principlesin a countrjr like our own,
and we would as soon part with life itself
as with the liberty that guarantees us in the
free' enjoyment and exercise of our political
seutiments? One cardinal point in our faith,
is constitutional freedom —freedonfy of opin
ion in all matters of conscience, political or
religious—for wo hold that every just man
has a conscientious regard foY the political
institutions of his country, to which he is
amenable for every deriliction of duty—ev
ery violation of patriotic principle. We be
lieve it is the proudest privilege, and one of
tho most imperitive duties of every Ameri
can citizen, to sustain his principles at the
ballot-box. No man should in a republic
like ours be ignorant of the politics of bis
country, and no one deserves the name of
American, who would shrink from the exer
cise of the elective franchise—freely, bold
ly, deliberately, and uninfluenced by any
unworthy private interest of fear, favor, or
friendship. He barters away bis liberty,
and is a slave, who chops bis political opin
ions to suit the Hictatiun of designing de
magogues ! If there is an act of a man’s life,
in the performance of which he should rise
above every personal consideration, and be
influenced only by the proud spirit of self
independence which characterised the early
champions of liberty—the noble founders of
ourglorious institutions— it is that of deposit
ing his ballot in that sacred box ! In this, at
least, let him be a freeman, acknowledging
no mortal master!
To the polls then, say we, to every legal
voter in the land, and on Monday next let
your votes tell for the cause you deem just,
and honest, and patriotic—trusting the re
sult to that Providence, which lias ever pre
sided over the destinies of our common
country. Let every vote be polled—let
the people speak !—vox pofuli, vox dei !
(£7” By a letter addressed to us from the
gentleman to whom allusion was made, in
our last, as the probable author of the article
in the “Southern Whig,” we are assured
that we were wrong in our surmises in rela
tion to the authorship of said article. We,
therefore, take more pleasure in acknowl
edging our error than we did in the expres
sion of our suspicion. We were at a loss to
divine any earthly reason which the writer
could have bad for making such a wholesale
attack upon ourself, our paper and our town,
and in casting about among the probabilities,
we were not the first, nor the only one, that
attributed the assault to conflicting interests,
and settled upou the gentleman alluded to
as the author, for reasons given in our reply.
With the editor of the “ Whig” we have
no acquaintance. With the gentleman al
luded to, we have enjoyed an acquaintance
of some years ; during which time we have
entertained for him none other than senti
ments of respect and friendship : nor were
we actuated in oui reply to the “ Whig” ar
ticle by any other feelings than such a spirit
of retaliation as was warranted by the belief
that lie had assailed us. Having his posi
tive assurance that be was neither the auth
or of, or bad any agency in the article in
question, we most cheerfully expunge from
our reply all reference to him—giving the
entire .credit of the production to the editor,
who, in addition to what he has felt author
ized to appropriate to himself, may also take
what of our article was misapplied to his
friend.
FIRE IN CHARLESTON.
The most destructive conflagration which
has occurred in Charleston since the great
fire of 183S, took place on Sunday night last.
The large block of stores on the Bay known
as Prioleau’s range has been entirely des
troyed. “ The fire commenced,” says the
“ Mercury” of the 2Gth ultimo, “in Burck
myer’s store, through which it ran with ter
rible rapidity, soon extending to Jones’ Oil
stoie, and thence by the roof to Lanneau’s
grocery store, all which were filled with
large stocks, and of the most combustible
character. The wind was high, which ad
ded much to the violence of the conflagra
tion, and seldom have the crowd assembled
round a fire watched its progress with more
intense anxiety—the most valuable part of
the city was considered in great danger, and
we are persuaded that nothing hut the uni
ted, untiring and heroic exertions of our ad
mirable Fire Companies saved us from a
general conflagration. We were assured
that traces of robbery were plain in Burck
myer’s store when it was entered, and the
conclusion is, that the fire was the work of
plunderers. The range of buildings belong
ed to the estate of Prioleau, and were, we
understood, insured. The entire amount of
insurance on the buildings and stocks, we
heard stated at §BO,OOO. The whole loss is
not probably much under §IOO,OOO, but of
this we speak only conjecturally.”
The “ Patriot” of the 27th says, “an at
tempt was made last night to set fire to the
Carpet store of Lambert & Brothers, in
King-street.” On the same night, the count
ing house of Messrs. Herckcnrath & Loun
des was broken open, the desks and draw
ers forced, and an unsuccessful attempt
made to open the iron chest. It would seem
that the city is infested with incendiaries
and robbers.
(£7* There was a fire in New Orleans, on
the 3d ultimo, by which the old Camp street
Theatre was consumed. One white man
and a negro were killed by the falling chim
neys. The proprietor, Mr. Caldwell, is said
to be a great loser. On the following morn
ing a fire broke out in a brick livery stable,
in Camp street —six valuable horses, three
carriages and two cabs were burned. The
fires are supposed to have been kindled l>y
incendiaries.

Ilis Excellency appeared to be in excellent

(£/“■ The heavy rains during the past
week in the lower sections of the state, caus
ed some slight injury to the Georgia Rail
Road, by which the regular night train was
interrupted for a few nights. The train
however came through in the day until the
injury wa3 repaired, and now the cars pass
from this point to Augusta as tlie man left
for Texas, between two days. The road
we believe is in good condition, and we
trust no further interruption, however slight,
will occur to the rapidly increasing travel.

merchants are testing the expediency of
conveying their goods to that place over
our road. It is thought considerahleexpense
and time may be saved by adopting this
route, instead of the former.
TRULY SENSITIVE.
The editor of the Knickerbocker some
little time since was full of prattle about
“ sectional literature,” and in almost every
numhei read the magazines of the South a
lecture about the vanity of their pretentions,
and counseled them how they should deport
themselves, for which Mr. Simms of the
‘ Magnolia,’ took the gentleman to task,
and soon brought him to his bearings. In
the June number of the Magnolia, Mr. S.
retorted severely, in an article of some length,
in reply to a very impertinent article in tho
Knickerbocker entitled “ Southern Periodi
cals,” and in the same number, hut in anoth
er article, alluded to a little poem of his
own, commencing,—
“My little girl sleeps on my arm all night,”
which had been contributed by someone
unknown to the Knickerbocker as original,
and which the editor published with very
flattering comment. “We reclaim our off
spring,” says Mr. Simms. In their perusal
he forgets “ the small passions and petty
strifes,” of the world, and concludes his re
marks with the following beautiful sentence,
alluding to the death of his beloved chil
dren :
“ Ho who has surrendered, thrice surren
dered, the child of his affections to the tomb,
in the first days of its freshness ; in its beau
ty, its innocence and bloom, when its voice
was first besrinninsrto he heard in the dear
est and fondest prattle ; how should he glow
with petty anger, or strive in petty conflict,
or feel those yearnings of petty ambition
which make the head feverish and the heart
unjust.”
That such a train of reflection, revived
by the perusal of the poetic outpourings of
his deep affection for a sweet departed one,
should tend to soften the asperities of feel
ing, ar.d calm the grosser impulses of a pa
rent’s heart, those who have experienced
with the writer the same tripple affliction,
will readily credit, while they admire the
manly sensibility of one who shrines such
sacred memories in his inmost heart.
In the last “ Knickerbocker” Mr. Clark
replies to Mr. Simms’ first article with much
spirit. But after having sent his reply to
the printer he meets with Mr. Simms’ arti
cle entitled the “Fugitive Reclaimed,”
which concludes with the sentence above
quoted, in reference to which the Knicker
bocker says—
“ This is noble and eloquently said. That
the assumption with which the paragraph
opens does us injustice we think the reader
will perceive, and the writer perhaps admit.
But let that pass. We sincerely sympathize
with our bereaved contemporary, for we are
‘acquainted with his grief.’ We are kin
dred at least in * one baptism of sorrow ;’
and this touching record of his domestic
affliction shall obliterate from our mind all
remembrance of the ungracious words which
reach us between the same covers ; nor shell
we hereafter permit ourselves to peruse a
line from the writer’s pen that may be cal
culated to change the kindly impressions
with which we close these hurried and in
terpolated thoughts.”
So we presume the hatchet is buried, and
we sincerely hope these amiable brothers of
the quill will so deport themselves iu future
that no cause of further unpleasantness may
arise between them. They should be friends,
for there are not two more able magazine
editors in the country —wc speak of them
as editors.
ODD MUSTERING OF THE “KING’S ENGLISH.”
The editor of the “ Hamburg Journal,”
speaking of the late prize fight, says : “ The
fight lasted two hours and forty-one minutes,
both weighing about 137 pounds, and near
ly of one age.” Now, brother Yarborough,
will you be good enough to tell us how you
arrived at the weight of those houis, and by
what mode of computation you are enabled
to make them “nearlyof one agel” We
always thought there was at least 60 min
utes difference in the ages of any two hours
—never heard of twin-hours—and though
we have heard them called dark, heavy,
dreary, black, dull, sad, etc., we never be
fore read of an hour “ weighing about 137
pounds!”
(I?* The next thing to a letter containing
§2 50, postage paid, with an order for the
“ Miscellany,” is such an epistle as the fol
lowing, from a genuine advance paying sub
scriber. •
“ Dear Sir—Owing to some cause I did
not get any paper on Monday. Let me as
sure you I was much disappointed. They
may say what they please about the incon
venience of wanting a quid of tobacco, and
not being able to get one; hut may Ibe
preserved from accidents of this sort with
all such papers as the Miscellany, which al
ways affords something new. I had just as
soon walk twenty miles, do without break
fast, dinner and supper, and sleep on a pile
of corn cobs, as miss the pleasure I derive
ftom each of your papers. If you have a
spare number and wi(l mail it to me, you
will oblige me very much. Yours truly.”
The “ Miscellany” was duly sent, but
was probably borrowed by some .good friend
of yours and patron of ours, berore you re
ceived it, but you should have another, sir,
if we had to issue an edition especially for
your accommodation. We like men of taste
and judgment, and we can assure you our
circle of friends is increasing rapidly.
Moral Influence. —A country editor com
plains bitterly of the dishonesty of some of
his subscribers- who have taken his paper
for five years, without paying him a cent.
The Boston Mail thinks tiiat the circum
stance of their having read the paper so
long, without having imbibed any principles
of honesty and justice, argues rather unfa
vorably with regard to its own moral influ
ence.
Not a fair inference brother Mail. It
is the shoolmaster’s duty to give the people
education, the preacher’s to give them reli
gion, and the printer’s to give them knowl
edge of all matters and things; but for such
as are naturally destitute of moral honesty,
there is no redemption; the hible couldn’t
save them witboq£ a total reformation on
their part. The final settlement of such
men's accounts will be fearful —no grace, no
bankrupt law.
fiC?** A severe gale was experienced at
Key West on the 4th ultimo, in which sev
eral vessels were wrecked. Three fishing
smacks belongingto the Island have not been
heard of since the storm, and are supposed
to have been foundered, with all on board.
Brigs Tuscarville and Boston were totally
dismasted. Schooner Comet, which sailed
just before the gale, for New-York, with a
cargo of Sugar, and a number of passengers,
is supposed to have been wrecked—a water
cask and a portion of her deck load having
been picked up. The steamer Natchez,
plying between Havana and Matanzas, es
caped with the loss of her rudder and fore
mast ; she was brought in by the wreckers,
repaired, and lias gone on her voyage to
Havana. The smack Van Buren has not
been heard from. Love Key Beacon has
been entirely washed away, and several of
the wrecking vessels driven ashore so high
that they will probably never he got off.—
Sand Key Light House also received con
siderable injury. The amount of property
destroyed has been great, and no doubt ma
ny lives have been lost. The wreckers of
Key West will reap a harvest, proving the
old adage, “ it’s an ill wind that blows no
one good.”
(£7” We learn that Mr. Thomas
W. White of the Southern Literarv Mes
tt
senger, sustained a paralytic stroke, while
on a recent visit to the city ot New York.
The attack was unusually severe, and fears
were entertained for his life, hut we in
formed that he is fast recovering though he
will probably remain an invalid for life.—
Mr. White is a practical man of uncommon
energy, who has done much for the advance
ment of literature at the South. By almost
unparalleled industry and perseverance he
has conducted the “ Messenger” to its pre
sent prosperous condition. May he livelong
to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
(£7” The agent of the American loan,
Mr. Robinson, is traveling on the continent,
not being able to effect a loan in London.—
We once heard of a chap who complained
that he was “lovviji reputation, out of mo
ney, out of friends, and five hundred miles
from home, traveling on a blind tnuel." —
Mr. Robinson may find consolation in the
reflection that others have been as badly
situated as himself.
RUMORS.
The papers contain various rumors and
surmises in relation to important changes at
Washington. It is said that the resignation
of Mr. Webster is in the hands of the Pre
sident, and that Mr. Lewis McLane will be
the next Secretary of State. Mr. Cushing
is to succeed Mr. Forward as Secretary of
the Treasury. It is also stated that the pre
sent Tyler organ, the “ Madisonian,” is to
he merged in “ The Globe,” which is in fu
ture to be conducted by Mr. Blair and Isaac
Hill of Vermont. John Jones, tho present
editor of the Madisonian, is to be provided
with an office. All this, however, is but the
rumor of these uncertain times.

SUSPENSION IN GILMER.
Things are represented to bt in a shock
ing condition in Gilmer. The sovereigns
have set sheriff’and court at defiance, and
have entered a nolle prosique in all legal pro
ceedings relative to the collection of debts.
The sheriff’s and clerk’s offices have been
entered, and all the papers, minutes, records,
&c. carried off, so that it will be impossible
for the Court to proceed with the business
of the county, at the approaching term. —
The perpetrators of these outrages upon
the laws of the land are yet unknown.
(£?*■ “ Why the tones of a horse-hair,
placed in a window so as to produce a mourn
ful vibration on the air, are any more entitled
to be called music than the dying groan of
a stuck pig, or the wail of a woman with the
tooth-ache, I never could divine,” said one,
annoyed by some dozen of the “wind harps”
in his sleeping apartment. “ The reason is
plain,” replied his bed-fellow ; “ the latter
are only monious, while the former are har
monious.” “ Well,” rejoined the other,
“ they are, all of them, very mel odious, bar
ring the mel.”
(£7“ The prize fight mentioned in out
last has caused considerable, and we trust,
wholesome excitement in New York. Sev
eral arrests have taken place, and energitic
measures are adopted to secure the patties
concerned in the brutal outrage. On the
post mortem examination of McCoy’s body
it was discovered that he had “ bore more
than any other man ever lived under, and
that he was gradually and actually beaten to
death.” Walsh of the “New York Auro
ra,” gives a touching account of the scene
at the house of McCoy’s mother, after his
body brought home. We give an ex
tract :
“On entering the house of Mrs. McCoy,
at the corner of Dover mid Water streets,
previous to the arrival of the coronet, I saw
the mother of the dead boy walking up and
down the room, stupified with grief, uttering
the most wild, woful and incoherent sen
tences. The dreadful shoc k she had re
ceived in the awful death of her ‘ darling
hoy,’ as she expressed it, had thrown reason
from its seat. She reverted back to his
childhood—to his virtues—to the tenderness
with which she reared him, and to his dread
ful and untimely end, in a manner wild and
incoherent as it was, that would melt the
hearts of the unfeeling wretches who stood
by and saw her ‘ dutiful darling boy butcher
ed.’ ‘ May the curse of God meit the gold
ye matte by killing my own heart’s bov.’—
‘ May God forgive you, for I can’t.’ • Glo
ry he to the Lord, ’twas his holy will to afflict
us,’ and a hundred other similar exclama
tions hurst in rapid succession from her.
His sister, too, went on for hours, venting
her sorrows in short, pithy sentences. 1
never read or heard such natural strains of
eloquence as 1 heard from this young wo
man. After talking some time, she pulled
out an old pocket book, and took a suspen
der buckle from it. She looked at it, kissed
it, and then hurst into a flood of sobs and
tears that seemed to melt her very soul.—
‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy! may the curse of
God rest on, and wither the villains that
thought yourlife and soul warnt wortli more
than a hundred dollats.’ Never did I see,
and I hope I never will again, such cold and
cheerless misery—such heart-withering
agony and despair. The heartless and un
principled vagabonds who seconded that
boy, and the cowardly blackleg blackguard
who opposed the stopping of the fight until
he sank dead in the ring, should have been
present on Wednesday in that dead boy’s
house, and if they have hearts to feel, hell
could inflict no greater torture. Surprising
as it must certainly appear to every man
who is possessed of the least particle of
feeling or humanity, there were men there
present (who had stood coolly and silently
by and seen the poor boy murdered,) laugh
ing and sniggering at his heart broken moth
er’s lemarks, until they were summarily
stopped by the bystanders.”
The matter will serve for a seven-days’
excitement for the presses of the great Bab
ylou to harp upon—then perhaps for the
sake of change, the tune will be altered
from the execration of, to sympathy for the
murderers.
(£7“ It is stated that Mr. Williams, the
celebrated Western temperance lecturer,
has obrained since he joined the Washing
tonians, thirty-five thousand eight hundred
and fifty signatures to the pledge. Os the
number nine were distillers, and thirteen
retailers of ardent spirits, and the balance
of all sorts, ranging from the temperate to the
most abandoned order of drunkards. If a
man deserves the title of a benefactor for
making two spears of grass grow where
but one grew before, what should be said
of one who has snatched so many “ brands
from the burning”—who has reclaimed so
many of his own species from the brutal
slough of drunkeuness. In the days of the
ancients he would have been proclaimed a
God.
