impuWtohis ideas. He dwindles her ‘tone of passion’
down to ‘melancholy regret,’ and then calls it no
passion—therefore, Poetry-whereas, the very essence

love for the beautiful, the beloved, and the early lost.
I appeal to the abounding love in the bounding hearts
of the millions now living ; and to the divine spirits of
the multitudinous hosts in Heaven, it what 1 say is not
the fact. People often talk about his egotism, without
ever thinking that what they call his egotism was noth
ing more nor lese than a manifestation of his deep
seated self-consciousness of his own merits. It is
their envy of his superior abilities which makes them
accuse him of egotism. Had they a tithe of Ins gen

of his egotism.
I recollect now that the .Tews killed Christ .or say

The following Epitaph, w hich I wrote immediately
after Poe's death, I intend to have engraved upon his
Tomb Stone:
Like the great Prophet in the Desert lone,
He stood here waiting for the Golden Morni.no ;
From death’s dark Vale I hear his distant moan—
Coming to scourge the World he was adorning—
Scorning, in glory now, their impotence of scorning.
And now, in Apotheosis divine,
He stands, enthroned upon the Immortal Mountains,
Os God's eternity, forever more to shine—
Star-crowned, all purified with oil-annointings—
Drinking with Ullalume from out tli’ Eternal Foun
tains. T. 11. C.

Dear Doctor : —One of the most magnificent as
well as beautiful phenomena that ever appeared to mor
tal eyes, manifested itsell at about o clock in the noc
turnal sky. This was a most gorgeous Aurora
which overspread the Oriental Heavens, tinging the
multitudinous cumuli with its rose-coloured radiance.
When I first beheld it, it was an Aurora Orientalis. Af
ter a while it became more septentrional, diffusing itself
over the Heavens into an Aurora Borealis. This con
tinued so for some time, then finally diffused itselt in
to an Aurora Totalis.
This glorious blush from the face of the Divine Glo
ry, streamed up with its Sapphire golden splendor from
below the horizon all around to the loftiest point in the
zenith, like the rubiate folds in the gorgeous Hangings
of the Tabernacle, veiling, while rendering the ‘daik
ness visible,’ the smiling faces of ‘Arcturus and his
Sons,’ and covering over with anew baptism of spir
itual fire the ‘Frozen Serpent of the South.’ This
crimson glory, forming a pyramidal Tent in the Ilea
i ens for the encampment of the beautiful Hosts of God,
not only suffused with radiant blushes the choiring
onstellations, but glorified w ith an Angelic utterance
•ic faces of the ‘Gemini and the ‘Flying Angel,’
■ iking them as beautiful as the Cherubim that were
i >i woven in the gracefuHswnings of the Jewish Taber

■ ‘ddeas those in the curtains of the House of God.
Such was the Phenomenon as it appeared to me.

LETTER FROM COLUMBUS.
Columbus, Oct. 11, 1851.
Dear Doctor : —Now that the enemies of our coun
ty are defeated and every hour brings tidings of suc
cess to the Union Legions of our good old State, the
Stars and Stripes boldly unfurled to the breeze, the j
American Eagle about to resume her pride of place I
above the croaking Vulture, I can sit down, calmly
review the past, and meditate upon the bright prospects
in the future.
A few short days ago, our Streets were crowded
with men who boasted of their strength and power,
wealth and influence to destroy tbs* Government of our
Revolutionary Sires, w hich, they declared, they hated
and despised, casting inst: t and abase upon a large re- .
spectable and industrious number of our fellow-citizens,
holding oat promises of preferment to ail that would ■
join in singing pre ins cf praise to Disunion leaders,
who were secretly advancing the- cause of a foreign fu
gitive. jeopardizing ‘.he lives and happiness of our
people, endeavouring if possible, to place the maraud
ing flag ®f Cuba above the Stars and Stripes of our j
own beloved country. To-day—where! where are
they ? American freemen arose in their might and
majesty, and by their potent voic<-s drove them discom
fited from their strong holds to seek consolation from
their brethren in the kingdom of Rhett, Quattlebum
Jt Cm
Our city is once more qniet, all good men dicoun
tenanee the conduct of the leading Fire- Eaters, certi
fiers, disturbers of public peace, slanders, and enve
droppers generally ; and all, nearly all, believe, that a
majority of one thousand voters in this District are
of the opinion that if there were fewer certifiers in the
world, Truth would not command a premium.
Asa matter of course you are aware of the fact
that we in Columbus have to think twice before speak
ing, that is to say, look around and see there is no cer
tifiers or tave-dropers within hearing, so that our pri
vate conversation may escape newspaper publicity.
We will soon get rid of this embarrassment as proper
means are now being taken to mark and exclude that
class from all decent private company.
Oar party have a large majority on joint ballot in
the Legislature, and, as it will be the duty of that
body to elect a Senator in the place of Mr. Berrien
whose term will soon expire, a few remarks upon that
subject, at this time, will not, I hope, be considered
•miss.
Mr. Berrien, certainly cannot look to the Union
party for re-election ; his course in the Senate, or, 1
should say no course at all, when he had it in his pow
er to help allay the dangerous feelings of the opposi
tion, and during this last contest the Fire-Eaters from
South Corolina to Texas, claimed him, quoted him as
authority to prove the correctness of their position ; his
letter, front its dictatorial tone, was calculated to injure
more than do us any good. In fact the man, who fan
cied he played upon the organ, when he only blew the
bellows, was entitled to more credit from the audience
for his labour, than Mr. Berrien can posssably claim for
his, from the Union party of this country. Again,
if he was a Union man (which I can safely say,
lie is not,) his age, some seventy years and upwards,
fbrbids a re-cleetion. Let him now retire to honorable
private life, and give room to a man of fewer years,
possessing more physical and intellectual ability, togeth
er with the confidence of the great Union party of
Georgia. With me, the names of Whig and Democrat
or old party lint's, are nothing; those names were
huried in the contest to save our beloved country from
total destruction ; for it is an established fact, incon
trovertible, that, if the Fire-Eating party had succeed
ed, Disunion, war, with all its horrors, would inevita
bly have followed. I therefore assert, and the Union
party will sustain me; that, any man who did not
come out boldly, in defenee of the compromise mea
sures. and declare himself for the Union, the whole
Union, and nothing but the Union, in the spirit of that
ail. i not entitled to the support, respect and confi
-iircoftthe great Union party of the South. To those
Miotic sons of Georgia, who rushed forward to save
. ir country, all—all honor is due. The people love
“iior such men ; there is no post of honor in their
■s'ltt, tii&t they would not freely bestow upon them.
l’ittrioHo hearts love to honor the faithful leaders of
their choice.

Advent of a Bloomer in Blakely.
The good citizens of this place have been for some
time watching the progress of the Bloomer style, with
intense interest, and the masculine portion of them have
generally hailed it as a deliverer of the opposite sex,
from a variety of inconveniences to which the long
trailing skirts subjected them. A good portion of the
ladies seemed opposed to the style as it subjected the
nether extremities to the scrutinizing gaze of the com
mons. The gentlemen were en masse in favor of it as
in these days o! long skirts, they are not unfrequently
called upon to sympathize with the ladies in their efforts
to protect them from the injurious effects of the streets
should they be too wet or too dry. They hailed it as
a beacon star of deliverance, and wore loud in their en
comiums. Sunday morning the 31st ult. was a beau
tiful one. The sun rose in all his splendor, and as his
bright rays came peeping o’er the scene, the dew drop
sparkled in his light like myriad of glittering gems.
Gentle breezes from the South glided almost noiselessly
along to revive the langor of earth’s inhabitants. Time
rolled on and as the sun rose higher,the deep azure of the
skies was unbroken save by a few light fleecy clouds
that rested beautifuly upon the regions of Ether. Na
ture had assumed that calm serenity so peculiar to
Southern climes, and the time had arrived when every
one looks abroad of a Sabbath morn to see what they
eati see. It was then that a strangely dressed female
was seen wending her way through the streets. The
cry of Bloomer ! Bloomer !’. was heard in every di
rection. Her air was one of a conscious superiority, and
as she passed from point to point you could but be
pleased with her light and graceful movements. It was
church day and quite a number had collected before she
made her appearance at the church. As she approached,
all eyes were turned upon her. The dress, it is true,
was not quite what the innovators propose, yet was
somewhat novel. The material we did not ascertain.
Suffice it to say that it reached just to the knees ; and
then the beautiful white pants neatly starched were
strapped down with a neatness that a few years ago
would have been envied and imitated by the gentlemen.
As the fair Bloomer entered the church a universal
titter ran through the house. The Village Belles looked
modest, cast down their heads and blushes of crimson
glow mantled their fair checks. The elderly ladies
looked on in wonder, and some, like Mrs. Partington,
sighed and said “it teas not so when they were gals.”
She passed on, took a seat, removed her veil and the
grinning phisiognomy of Ebony revealed “ Old Bf.ck.”
It turned out, that some of the mischievous ones (not
the ladies)- had agreed to give an old negro woman a
new dress if she would convert one of her old ones
into a Bloomer and come out to church on that day.
She did it, and many and long were the anathemas
passed against the mischievous ones that set the move
ment on foot. She ventured forth the next Sunday
and the good dames were about to mob her (if I may
be allowed the expression.) and she dare not appear any
more. 1 lie burlesque was complete. Bloomeristn may
become the prevailing style in all counties, but in Early
county so long as the present generation exists it will
not be adopted. D.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION
Search for Sir John Franklin.
RETURN OF THE AMERICAN SQUADRON.
We announced yesterday morning the ap
proach to our port of the U. S. brig Advance,
one of the ships sent to the Arctic seas by Mr.
Henry Grinnell,of this city, in search of Sir John
Franklin. The Advance came up rapidly, and
reached the Navy Yard at Brooklyn at about
12 o'clock. She looks as clean and neat as if
she had never been out of port. The Rescue is
not yet iu.
The Expedition has been exceedingly fortu
nate. Not a single death has occured, and near
ly every man is in better health than when he
left home.
We are indebted to the kindness of Dr. Kane
for an outline of the voyage, and for many inci
dents connected with it of great interest: we are
compelled, however, to give but a brief account
this morning.
The vessels of the American Expedition at
tained their furtherest westing on the 13th of
September, 1850. At this point they found the
British squadron, under Commodore Austin,
anxiously looking for winter quarters, in the
neighborhood of Cape Martyr. The American
vessels attempted to return, but the progress of
the season, and the slow process of congelation,
completely froze them in opposite Wellington
channel. The ice around them was of great
thickness, and they could only move as the ice
drifted. The great Northern drift in which
they were now involved is believed to be without
a parallel for duration and extent, in the history
of Arctic navigation.
They reached the latitude of *75 deg. SO min.
North, w hen they obtained sight of distant and
unknown land, and then, by the inevitable and
irresistable drift, they commenced their southern
progress towards Lancaster Sound.
During this period the disruptions of the ice
were constant and exceedingly violent. Fires
could not be kept. The noise of the disruptions,
sometimes like thunder ar.d at others like the
crushing of vast masses together. The ther
mometer fell eleven degrees below zero, and ice
formed in the bedding of the officers and crew.
The constant exposure of the crew to cold and
wet caused the scurvy to break out here, but it
was kept from making any severe ravages for
some time longer.
About the Ist of December the expedition en
tered Lancaster Sound and passed the graves of
some of Franklin’s crew which had been recent
ly discovered. The discovery was made while
the American and British squadrous were to
gether. Capt. Penny, of the British service,
had breakfasted with the Americans. The whole
company were startled by loud shouts from a
messenger, who came in announcing that the
graves of some of Franklin’s men had been dis
covered. Parties were at once dispatched to the
spot, and unmistakable evidences of Franklin’s
former presence presented themselves. As has
already been described, parts of a blacksmith’s
forge, with the ashes, cinders, <tc., were found,
with parts of various articles of clothing—several
of which have been brought home by Captain
De Haven. Presently they found three graves,
not very far distant from each other. Light
mounds had been raised over the graves, and
flat stones placed on them, upon which were the
following inscriptions :
On the first:
Sacred to the Memory
of
W. BRAINE, It. M.
Aged, 32 years.
Choose ye this day whom ye shall serve.”
On the second :
Sacred to the Memory
of
JOHN HARTNELL, A. B. of H. B. S.
Erebus.
Aged, 23.
‘Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, consider you wav
On the third :
Sacred to the Memory
of
JOHN TORRINGTON,
Who departed this life,
Jan. 1, A. D.
on board of
H. M. Ship Terror.
Aged 20 years.
The scene of these interesting relics was pass
ed by the American vessels in the twilight, on
their way to Lancaster Sound.
On entering the Sound the disruptions of the
J ee became more frequent and the vessels were
exposed to schocks which nothing but their
great strength and admirable construction en
abled them to resist. They were so built that
pressure of ice would lift them up, instead of
crushing them. The Advance was raised in this
way six feet eight inches by the stern, and keel
ed over two feet eight inches to starboard. In
this perilous position tlisy passed some weeks.
The danger of being crushed was so imminent
that the officers and tnen prepared their knap
sacks tor immediate departure. On one or two
occasions the boatswain and other practical sea
men gave w arning that the vessel must be crush
ed, and called upon all to clear the spars. Twice
all hands were mustered upon the ice expecting
every moment to see the ship crushed and sunk.
They were then at a great distance from land,
and in the event of any such catastrophe would
doubtless all have perished.
The periods of most violent disruption of the
ice were successively, November 19th, Decem
ber Bth, and January 13th. Upon the day last
named, the ship entered Baffiu's Bay —the Res
cue not in sight. The ice had now attained a
tabular thickness of from three to six feet, and
shocks of its disruption were consequently more
severe. The thermometer fell to 46 degrees
below Zero, and stood at that point almost con
stantly for about a fortnight.
From this point the drift was nearly uninter
rupted. The table of ice was almost unbroken,
and the field of vision was bounded only by the
horizon. The vessel drifted slow ly with the ice.
and the only knowledge they had of motion was
derived from observation of the stars.
On the 18th of February the sun reappeared
and was hailed with three cheers. The ship
continued imbedded in the ice, and its libera
tion was not effected until the 10th of June,
1851. On that day they emerged from the
drift ill latitude 64” deg. 30 min. having been
enclosed for nine months, and drifted about
1060 miles! There is no record of any Polar
drift of anything like so long duration, for so
great a distance, as this.
The scurvy which had appeared during the
early part of the cruise, had been kept under,
until the reappearance of the Sun. Then the
entire deprivation of animal food, combined with
other causes, caused it to increase very rapidly
in severity. With three exceptions, every man
on board w as attacked. The only exercise which
the men could take was kicking football, and the
inability to do this successfully was in many
cases the first symptom of the disease. Capt. De
Haven suffered from it very severely, so much
so indeed, as to cause serious apprehensions on
the part of the surgeon. Every one, however,
recovered.
Upon emerging from the drift, as already
stated, on the 10th of June, Capt. Dellaveu de
termined to return to the North and prosecute,
so far as possible, the object of his expedition.
After touching upon the coast of Greenland to
refresh his crew and refit his vessel, he again
entered the ice at Melville Bay.
Ou the 7th of July, he spoke the American
whaling ship McLellan , and the British w haler
Pacific. A few days after, he encountered the
whole whaling squadron returning from the
North.
After entering the ice, Capt. Dellaven was
joined near Baffin Islands by the Prince Albert ,
the ship sent out by Lady Franklin. She,
however, being unable to make her way further
through the ice, returned.
Capt. Dellaven still persevered and pushed his
way northward. lie was soon, however, frozen
in a second time. lie was surrounded with ice
bergs two or three hundred feet high, and form
ing almost a complete amphitheatre about his
vessel. His progress of course was stopped, and
it was not until the 19th of August that he
effected his liberation a second time.
Finding that lie could not by any possibility
reach Lancaster Sound within the time allotted
him, he was*reduced to the inevitable necessi
ty of returning. lie started therefore for the Uni
ted States, stopped at Greenland to refresh his
men, r.nd parted for the Rescue oft the Banks of
Newfoundland.
All officers and men have returned from their
expedition in good health and spirits. Some ot
them are ready and anxious to go again, and
they are confident that good grounds remain
for believing that Sir John still survives. Some
of the British boats, on excursions from their
ships, reached a very high Northern point and
came upon the open sea which is supposed to
surround the Pole.
The expedition has been admirably conducted
and the gallant officers and crew of the two ves
sels will be heartily welcomed home by their
countrymen.
From the Cuban Prisoners.
We are indebted to Mr. Thrasher for a
copy of the following circular:— tSa'-'. News.
Havana, October 1, 1851.
The promise to many of the prisoners that
were included in the second lot sent to Spain
to remit to their friends some account of their
state has again rendered it necessary for me to
avail myself of the facilities of a general cir
cular.
On the departure of those sent away on the
Bihult., there remained in the hospital twenty
four, and in prison ten, waiting ship. These
last were removed to the Punta Castle, where
they remained until the moment of their embar
kation, and where they were joined by such of
their companions as were subsequently brought
in, and also by those who were removed conva
lescent from the hospital.
During their stay every attention has been
paid them by their countrymen, as also by Mr.
Smith, the secretary of the English Consul,
and they were visited by Gov. Letcher twice
during his short visit here, and by several of
the officers ofthe squadron. Their wants were
supplied in every respect consistent with the
rules ofthe prison, and their treatment by their
jailers was considerate and kind.
They embarked yesterday, at 2 o’clock. P.
M., on board the Spanish brig Ripa for Cadiz,
each one provided with clothing, provisions,
and money in every respect similar to those
who were sent off before, and equally in good
health and high in hope. There remain in
hospital 13, all of whom are rapidly recover
ing from their wounds, and meet with the same
kind treatment that has been extended to all.
Two men, Robert H. Breckenridge and
Ransom Beach, both of Kentucky, who were
picked up at sea, some 20 miles form land,
by a Spans!) coasting schooner, were, for a
few days, confined with prisoners,and 1 under
stand are to be tried on a charge of having
appertained to the Lopez expedition.
It is reported that several of those here are
to be liberated and allowed to return to their
homes ; and while wo rejoice at this, it is to
hoped that, with proper andcontinued exertions,
all will soon obtain the like boon.
I have the honor to be, respctfully, your
obedient servant. J. S. THRASHER.
Here follows a list of the names so the pris
oners sent to Spain by the brig Ripa. Among
them we find the name of T. McNjsll. of
Lumpkin Georgia.
The correspondent of the New York Jour
nal of Commerce publishes some interesting
items of intelligence. He says:—
“Mr. Letcher had, while here, several
interviews with Gen. Concha, and other dig
nitaries of the Government, which were pleas
ant, without being productive of any particular
benefit to the prisoners, or placing our dip
lomacy with the Spaniards on any more favor
able footing.”
1 he same correspondent informs us that the
release oi Lapt. R. H. Ellis who arrived in
New-Yoi kby the Cresent City, we have no
ticed, was obtained through the personal inter
cession of Mr. Hardy, third officer of one of
our revenues Cutters, a former friend and
intimate ot'Eius. From the New-York pa
pers we gather the fact stated on the authority
of Capt. Ellis, that all the prisoners of the
Lopez expedition will be liberated, by appli
cation to Madrid, upon the condition that the
authorities will remunerate the Spaniards of
New-Orleans for their losses by the riots there.
Gen. Concha authorised Capt. Ellis to
make this representation at Washington. The
Journal of Commerce learns from intelligent
Louisianians, now in New-York, that the
required indemnification will be made.

A word to* (ampaign Subscribers.
Wo intended before this to have solicited the con

ring the late campaigh, but for various reasons it lias
been neglected. \Ye now, therefor •, make the solici
tation, and would be happy if our labors iu the cause
of the Union have increased the number of the perma

rely for all the support we expect to receive, and if per
chance any crumbs from the table of politicians should
fall into our hands without our begging for the boon,
we shall consider them a “ God-send’’ or, as printers
say, a little fat in our pan ! To the people, however,
we look for that amount of generous support which is
necessary to sustain any Press in an independent posi
tion. If that is granted to the Georgia Citizen its
motto will continue to he “ Independent in all things—
neutral in nothing,” but if it is withheld, then with the
loss of our independence do we give up a position which
will then have lost all its charms in our sight.
To those who have already ordered their names
transferred from the campaign to our Regular List,
we return our special thanks. Their flattering appre

in our behalf.

tablishment.
Mr. Robt. Findlay’s Ne w Establishment promises to
be a magnificent improvement in the Manufacturing
Department of this city, lie is putting up a very ex
tensive range ot brick buildings, for the various purjxja
es of a Foundry, Machine shop, Steam Engine and Lo
comotive Manufactory, that when finished, will bean or
nament to the place as well as a most useful addition to
our industrial operations. The main building is three
hundred and twenty by fifty feet, and two stories
high. At the extreme end ot this range will be the
boundry, where all the necessary apurtenanccs for
moulding, casting, &c. will be arranged. Next to the
Foundry will be the machine shop for turning, drilling
and finishing Iron Work. Here will be placed the hoist
ing and lowering cranes , by which one or two opera
tives can accomplish the work of a dozen, without such
tackle. Over head will be the wood shop, where pat
tern work and the finishing of lighter jobs will be car
ried on. Large gateways are arranged for the passage
of teams through the building, for the purpose of loading
and unloading with case. In front and lateral to the
main building is another range of brick, where the Pro
prietor’s office and Clerk’s rooms will be placed—and a
row of suitable ihops extending eastwaid two hundred
and eleven feet.
In the rear of the extreme end of this range, will bo
another wing extending south one hundred and twenty
five feet, where a trip Hammer and other implements
for forging Iron will be put in blast. Here will be plac
ed a Steam Engine, to move the machinery as well as to
supply air to the various smitheries spoken of as occu
pying the front range and aforesaid wing. The whole
building will be fitted up with all the improved appa
ratus for facilitating the work to be done and will be able
to give employment to three hundred hands, two-thirds
of which number Mr. F. expects to have employed, be
fore the first of January, 1853. When he gets in blast,
in his new location, we will take pleasure in giving him
another blast from the Citizen bugle.
That Biff Boot.— it would be no bad way of
guessing at the site of Mix and Kirtland’s assortment
of new Boots, Shoes, &c. by a comparison with that
big sign which they have set up in front of their estab

able, as to quantity of the stock on hand, but to make
the picture complete, a Cinderella slipper small enough
to suit the foot of a fairy should be suspended to the
tassel of the big boot, in order to represent the true con
dition of their varied supplies. As to the quality of
their goods, we speak, understanding!;/, when we say,

Southern Manufactures.
The following article from the Montgomery, Alabama
Atlas will serve to indicate the tendency of the South
naturally, to fall into the only true path of indepen
dence—that of extending her manufacturing facilities
and developing all her industrial and mechanical re
sources as well as agricultural.. There is also a hint
in the article to our own city and State Machinists to
be up and doing lest competitors from a distance bear
off the big Silver Pitcher premium at the ensuing State
Fair, for the best Steam Engine. Look to your laurels,
gentlemen!
MONTGOMERY MANUFACTURING CO.
l * Many of our readers, doubtless, are not aware
that there is an establishment of Iron Works, in our
city, which gives daily employment to nearly one hun
dred and fifty hands. But such is the fact. The es
tablishment of the Montgomery Manufacturing Com
pany, under the control and management of Messrs.
Gindrat & Cos., is now not only one of the largest of the
kind, in the South, but is turning out machinery, the
style, beauty of finish, and Strength of which, are se
cond to none.
In taking a stroll through their extensive shops a few
days since, we were shown by Mr. J. S. Winter, (one
of the proprietors of the establishlishment) an engine,
the general appearance of which we will not attempt
to describe; but merely affirm that it was, although yet
unfinished, the handsomest piece of machinery we ever
saw. \\ e never knew before that iron could be brought
to so fine a polish. It will well pay any one for the
trouble to go and examine it. This engine, which is
of thirty horse power, is to be sent to the Fair in Geor
gia. It is very appropriately named the Alpha , and if
we mistake not, will, receive the first premium.
This establishment commenced the construction of
steam engines about IS months since, and have turned
out over eighty since that time. Such establishments
as this among us do away with the necessity of sending
to Northern markets for machinery.” t
New History of the United States.
Through the kindness of a friend, we have been per
mitted a sight of the “ proof sheets of last chapters of
the History of the United States or Republic of Amer
ica,” now in press, from the pen of that experienced
and accomplished lady, Mrs. Emma Willard, princi
pal of a world-renowned Female Seminary at Troy, N.
Y. Mrs. Willard has brought down her lnstory to
June 1851, and she has adopted the judicious plan of
sending these proof sheets to prominent Statesmen and
distinguished personages of the Union, for their revi
sion and correction of historical facts, if errors are by
them discoverable—prior to the publication of the
work. By these criticisms, corrections and alterations,
by the highest authorities, the authoress aims to give
an impartial and truthful History of the American
Republic, which shall at once be “ carefully free from
errorand “sacredly made the record of truth.”—
Perhaps, there is no other person in the Union more
capable of accomplishing, in a faithful manner, the task
Mrs. Willard has assigned to herself. Having been
for thirty years engaged in the business of instruction
and intimately conversant with events that have been
passing, connected with her enlarged acquaintance with
the history of the country and government since the
beginingof the Republic and before, she is, we think,
peculiarly qualified to write an acceptable and interest
ing work, on the subject she has selected. Her histo
ry will be the crowning work of a useful life, and we
doubt not, every way worthy of her fame, as an Ame
rican woman of cultivated genius and fine intellect.
“Grfatncss Reviewed, or the Rise es the
South.”
This is the title of a Georgia Poem, by Cuyler W.
Young, Esq., of Halcyondale, Scriven county, which
has been on our table for several weeks, awaiting no
tice at our hands. The continued pressure upon our
columns will even yet preclude anything like a critique
upon the performance as a whole, and we shall there
fore coutent ourselves with a passing commentary upon
its more striking and remarkable parts.
The author is the same gentleman, who in days past,
tried to found an Klysian city, in the saudv pine region
near the Central Railroad, and who, then flooded the
country with rather marvellous descriptions of the
perennial beauty and parodiso-like scenery of his
“ Ilaleyondale,” all of which showed that he was a
man of true poetic sensibilities and had an “eye with
fine frenzy rolling,’’ whenever a just occasion offered
for such orbicular motion, at an angle of 45 degrees or
upwards.
With an ardent constitution and temperament of the
same calorific intensity, tho author, last year, threw
himself into the political breach and from the steps of
the Lanier house, in this city, gave all his energies to
annihilate, by his eloquence, the enemies of his coun
try. Then it was, that the gentle zephyrs of his “Hal
cyondale” home, were waked into the strong wind and
lashed into a tempest against Fillmore, Webster & Cos.
until they were swept away by the blast, as reeds be
fore the hurricane. No marvel, indeed, if the victims
of our author’s patriotic denunciations have never lifted
their heads since the lightning of heaven conveyed to
then the news that Colonel Cuyler Young, of llaloy
ondale, had taken the field against thoir political views
and policy.
Thus much of the history of the author. Now for
the poetry before us.
“Greatness Reviewed” commences with a phi Hi pic
upon Daniel Webster for being called “God-like” and
I
for his bad grammar , as reported in the newspapers.
He says—
“ Thus, when the Godlike Webster opes his mouth,
To blow his wisdom on the North and South,
Trembling for fear and rev’rencc ye shall stand,
And see a human God of Yankee land.’’
(
Our author then goes on to impeach the conduct of
Mr. Webster in the Caroline aflair, as follows:
When A. McCleod burnt the Caroline,
And play’d fell havoc with on yon frontier line— .
For which high crimes at Lock port he was tried, ,
And at the bar of justice almost fried ; |
Then John Bull’s agent, 11. S. Fox, bawled out, ,
Turn loose this British subject, or I’ll route
With British soldiers every Yankee file
Who guards McCleod in his durance vile.
That sapient Dan, with mock discretion, then
Despatched to Lockport -J. J. Crittenden,
Who, with instructions from that Marshfield sage,
Dismissed the culprit Ironi the felon's stage.
* * * *
If Ilcrmodorus, that Ephesian rake,
Who helped the Romans their sage laws to make,
Was honored with a statue for his manes,
Why not raise one to Webster for his pains?
And though that Daniel knows not English grammar
Tie can upon protective tariffs hammer,
And at a dinner to Miss Vespucci say,
“ Can you, dear madam, parlez-vous francais ?”
Before passing this withering piece of intellectual
sarcasm, will the author please inform us who or what
did McCleod - “ play fell havoc with.” lie had al
ready burnt the Caroline and he could not “ play havoc”
with that which was nonest inventus. But, perhaps
this is only a lapsus pennte, which, in a second edition
of irs immortal poem will be corrected. We would
also suggest that ho or his printer has put bad orthogra
phy in Mr. Fox’s mouth as well as found bad gram
mar in Mr. Webster’s speeches, when he made Mr. F.
say—
“ Turn loose this British subject, or I’ll route’ I '
the final vowel attached to the verb rout not being ac
cording to Dictionary.
, Leaving Webster, our author gets after Henry Clay
with a bludgeon —thus:—
“ The greatest, wisest, noblest, and the best
Os human Gods, is Ilarry of the West 5
Who for his diplomatic skill at Ghent,
Excels the wise men in the testament;
Who, as a leader of a factious mob,
Has kept this Union always in agog.”
This is complimentary, very, in one who boasts of
having once been President of a Clay Club and still
cherishes a warm personal regard for the man he stig
matizes as a “ leader of a factious mob!” Strange
“ personal regard” that would be in a man of prose
ideas, however it may comport with postry.
Mr. Benton is next introduced as
The human God of war and gold,
With his huge belly, and his face so bold—•
Who many a foe has sent to his long home,
And cried aloud, “ Let the ns sassirt come.’’
Then comes a New Hampshire Senator who is de
scribed as one who pours hail upon the Senators, fco.
“ This valiant Falstaff leaves the helm to Seward
Who pops his head up when he begins to talk
Like some good hen when watching for a hawk j
Or like the buzzard, when he an eagle views,
lie flies on faster and still faster*****.’’
The gentle reader whose stomach is weak must not
too critically examine into the nature of the word re
presented by tho five stars, as a corresponding jingle to
“ views for fear he may light upon a phrase, not so
pleasant to those who have ever taken quant, svff. of
Lobelia Injlata ! The delicacy of the poet in con
cealing a disagreeable association by five stars, is cer
tainly a “ poetic license’’ most ingeniously conceived
and happily introduced, just at the precise salient point
where the imagination was likely to take wings into the
regions of the Empyrean !
Our author pursues the subject of politics, describing
Polk, Clayton and other eminent men, as
rheae Jacks, Jack Falstafls, Clav Webster and all’’
\\ ho shall “ in the ditch of obscurity fall.”
until he runs through the list of modern Gods that
men do worship, of all of whom but one, (John C. Cal
houn,) he seems to have a very contemptible if not
contemptuous opinion, when he changes the subject a
little and goes into the lino of music, petticoats and
yankees, by way of “spice” to the entertanmeut, in the
following manner:
“ Or will ye be the slaves of men vvho’ve sinn'd
By worshipping the songstress Jenny Lind?
O V enus ! in the nineteenth century,
In New Orleans, a Yankee preacher’s knee
Was bent in prayer for safety of Miss Lind
J roin raging billows and the stormy wind.
He was quite right to pray for her salvation,
And for her safe return hack to this nation ;
But when that prayer was published in a paper
That seemed much like an idol'trous caper ;
And (there must have been in his dun eye a moat
Thus soon to deif y a petticoat.
And when this vestal virgin goes on to charm ’em,
A crowd of asses will shout out Barnuin !
Barnum! Barnum ! Barnum ! come out, Barnum 1
And let us see your nose and lengthy arm 1
Hurrah for Barnuin! hurrah for Jenny!
Shouts a crowd whose soul is worth a penny ;
A crowd who’ll bellow at these pretty tunes,
And care for nothing else but picayunes;
O, save each state and each honorable court
From anything a Yankee ever wrote !
And who, for gold are for this glorious Union.
But who for/ore will hold no “ communion”
“ W it Li slave breeders, who have no common schools
Or literature to civilize their fools.”
“ Shaktpear’s immoral —Bryant is the mau,
And Willis is soft and sweet as a fan •,
And Beecher is sweeter, and Smith is devout,
And W illiams is a quaker out and out,
And sweetly describes the right of submission
By every man in every condition.”
Some little girl by some Onderdonk's side,
\V r itli Bible in hand o’er the waters wide,
From drowning is saved by that bishop serene,
And this is of some great poet! the theme.
* * * * * *
The life of John Smith with the author’s portrait,
Or the tears and the sighing of poor little Kate,
Who loved a parson and knelt down with him,
For the forgiveness of their mutual sin.
Such is the boasted Northern literature,
And such the little that can well insure
A herd of pedlars, quacks, and factious jades,
To dastardize the men and spoil the maids.
Then the itin’rant Yankee pedlar comes
And whines his nasal speech about your homes,
And humbly begs you, as a little toady,
To subscribe for tho book of Louis A.Godey.
You take the book—your daughter reads the stories,
And feels delighted with its Yankee glories;
And when you’re least suspecting any mcdler,
You find your daughter stolen by a pedler.”
But our limits would fail us to pjint out half the
peculiar beauties of this remarkable specimen of Geor
gia Literature, and we must therefore refer our readers
to the work itself for further gratification. Mr. Board
man lias a few copies on hand, which will doubtless go
“ like hot cakes” when the public are enlightened, as
ti)cy now are, on a subject so interesting to every Geor
gia Patriot, “ to the manor born.”
Floyd House.—t his extensive and populares- |

A Liberal Railroad Company.— From a
correspondence in the Ala. Journal of the loth inst..
we notice that Chas. T. Pollard, Esq., President of the
Montgomery and West Point Railroad has plaeed a
carat the service of Messrs. Gindrat & Cos. of Mont
gomery, wherein to convey free of charge, on that
road, the Engine which the Company have manufac
tured for exhibition at the coming Fair, in this city, and
also such persons as Messrs. G. <fc Cos. may send in
charge of the machine to the end of the road. We
hope that when the Engine reaches Griffin, the same
courtesy will be extended to this “first contribution
from Alabama’’ by the enlightened head of the M. & W.
Railroad.
