MADISON, GEO : Salurilay, October 1, IS 12. 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. C : ■■■ - ■ ■’ ■ ■- • 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. mu 3 sfi'Ji il il & ir^ COTTON Continues to come in briskly, notwith standing the inclemency of the weather.— Prices ranging at our former quotations, say for good Cotton from 6 J to 7^. (£7* Governor McDonald and family ar rived in our town on Wednesday evening last, from the upper part of the State, and left the next morning for Milledgeville.— Ilis Excellency appeared to be in excellent health. (£/“■ 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. (£7“ We learn that the Huntsville, Ala. 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.

Eight gallons of juice yields two gallons of molasses. 05 s ” Mr. Locke of the Savannah Republi can, (whig) and Mr. Kline of the Giifliti Gazette, (dem.) have been put iu nomina tion by their respective parties for the legis lature. Success to them. 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. (£7* Why would not the following con cluding lines of Wallace’s |>oem on Napo leon, apply as well tc the evils of intempe rance as to those of war 1 Wo think they would, quite. “ For oh! if all tho grief and blight Which it haa aoattored and nvn on m m Since first its pestilential flight From bcing’e sable shore began— Upon one canvass broad and high Could be by painter's pencil burl'd, That canvass hung unio the sky Would with iu margin sweep the world.” (£7* New Orleans is represented as being filled with burglars. Three houses were broken open in owe night—from the first a gold watch was taken, in the two latter they came very neat getting a couple of bites from the canine guardians of the premises.
