An Immense time in the Sane*
turn.
A day or two ago, while seated in the
editorial department of our establish
ment, posting books, pondering over
debts due us by delinquents, and show
ering left-handed blessings on tbe credit
system, our reveries were suddenly bro
ken in upon by the entrance of a sub
scriber who has taken the Standard for
seven years, during which time he paid
on account 0 dollars, ditto cents ! ‘Hol
loa !’ thought we, 4 here’s a promise to
pay one of these days ’ A mistake, as
the following conversation proves :
Subscriber—Mr. Printer, I believe I
have taken your paper about—let me
see—ah, yes, about seven years ; and
all that time, too, I have lived off the

me out a receipt now, and here s your
money.
[Subscriber deposits $14 on the t-ble,
which the editor grasps nervously, for
fear the subscriber’s mind might change,
and then fills out a receipt. Exit sub
scriber]
As might naturally be suppposed, the
thermometer of the editor’s feelings went
up into sunshine 14 per cent. Another
rap at the door—■'

. Countryman—Well, Mr. Newspaper
man, how d’ye do? 4 Been taking your

would’nt be without it no how—as .your

hav’nt attended to it sooner. How much

Editor—(running his eye over the
newspaper,)—‘Oh, here it is—two and
one’s three, and two are five—ten dol

(Countryman deposits half a saw
horse, takes a receipt, bids editor an af
fectionate good-bye, and vamoses.)

New Theory of Deluge.

her cense where it was most likely to be
effectual. For this and other reasons
he was a benefactor of his race and na
tion, and they will remember him. witli
a personal and cordial affection indepen
dent of the admiration to which bis ge
nius entitles him. That he inspired ma
ny of the nobility of England with a love
for Ireland as well as his bosom friend
Lord Byron, is well known ; but tbe
latter has recorded bis feelings in imper
ishable verse which it is not wholly in
appropriate to quote in this connexion :
My voice though, but humble, was raised for
thy right:
My vote as a freeman’s, still voted thee
free;
This hand tho’ but feeble, would arm in,
thy fight,
And this "heart, tho- outworn had a throb
still for thee;
For I loved thee and thine though thou art
not of my land;
I have known gallant hearts and great
souls in thy sons ;
And I wept, with the world, o’er the patriot
band.
Who are gone; but I wept them no long
er as once.
• * * * * •
Eut if aught in this bosom can quench for
an hour.
My contempt for a nation too servile
though sore;
Which though trod like the worm will not
turn upon power,
‘Tis the glory of Grattan and genius of
Moore.”
Moore was born in Dublin, on the
j 28th of May, 1780, and was educated
i at Trinity Cortege where he was a class
mate of Robert Emmett. He was in
tended for the bar and kept his terms
for a while in one of the Inns of Court
of London. But he was fonder of Greek
than of Norman French or Law Lattin ;
and he made a poetical translation of
Anacreon instead of studying Ft-arne on
Remainders. His name therefore is not
to be found in the 44 Reports ;” but it
is written in other volumes some of which
at least will have a perpetuity as endu
ring as our language.
The stars of literature have always ap
peared in clusters. In England we
have had great constellations of poets id
tbe reign of Elizabeth and of Ar.ne, and
j of George the 3d and 4th. The last
star has°now faded from ibe sky. AH
the great cotemporaries of Moore had
gone before him—Byron, Scott, Cole
ridge. Wordsworth, Southey, Shelley.
Moore, all are now gone; and it is not
unkind to many excellent living poets
both in our own country and England
to say that the thrones are vacant and
that there is every prospect of a long in
terregnum.
We shall take occasion in an other no
tice to speak to the characteristics of the
genius of Moore ; we have now barely
time to record the intelligence of his
death; but we could not let the occa
sion pass without expressing our affec
tionate admiration of jhe man and bis
by a horse mail twice a week from Co
lumbus. Georgia. Saturday was publi
cation day, and Friday evening at 5
o’clock, the mail was due, and we were
always in a fidget to get the 44 latest
items” for the next morning’s issue
But it frequently happened that the mail
boy would loiter, 44 making it dark” be
fore he arrived. Then we always swore
44 like old Tom Woodward, of Arkan
sas ” On one occasion, however, the
mail-rider made his appearance, about
seven hours in advance of his time—a
negro teas to have been hung that day,
and the rascal knew it J As it turned
out though, a pardon came from the
Governor, and tbe negro was not hang
ed. Perhaps we didn’t let out the next
week on the mail-boy ! Ob, but we
raked him; and we suggested that tbe
Federal Government should have a ne
gro executed every Friday, in order to
ensure a regular and speedy deliverance
of the mail. The next mail brought us
what was in those days called a 44 buck-
ett”—it was from the mail-rider and ran
thus:
44 Mr. Hupper sit yew thing yew
plaid b—1 publishin the mail rider now

That brief, candid, straight-beaded
document, was tbe very first expussion
of a harsh opinion that we had encoun
tered ; and not one of the many hard
cuffs that we have had sinee, ever hurt
us half as much. We nevar troubled

porated every principle of doctrine and
duty necessary for the salvation of man
at that day. To enter the ark was to be
confirmed in tbe life of religion which it
represented. The flood of waters he
considers the emblem of an inundation
of evil and impiety, and refers to vari
ous passages in Daniel, Isaiab, Jeremi
ah, and the New Testament, for the pur
pose of showing that tbe encroachment
of fallacious reasoning and false princi
ple are not only compared in tbe Scrip
tures to floods of water, but are actually
called floods and the ovetflowing of riv
ers. This, he argues, is the real import
of the flood in the time of Noah. The
perishing of the millions by the deluge
is to be understood, he says, in a spirit
ual sense, as the perishing of souls bv
the overwhelming influence of sin.
In a lecture upon the subject, deliv
ered by Mr. Stuart, he advances many
plausible arguments in support of bis
theory. A literal flood, like that des
cribed by Moses, the reverend gentle
man says, could not have taken place.—
Men of science reject as an absurdity tbe
idea of a universal deluge having occurr
ed since the creation of man. Geology
utterly confutes this supposition. The
learned Dr. Buckland, tho orthodox
Dr. Hitchcock, and many others equal
ly worthy, have abandoned it, and none
stand out for a literal flood except a stub
born few who make the omnipotence of
God the scape goat of physical impossi
bilities.
These arc Mr. Stuart’s views, as we
find them reported in the Cincinnati pa
per, and we give them as somewhat start
ling innovations upon the general belief,
without expressing any opinion as to
their soundness.
Hit iiim again.—Tbe following item
from a New Orleans paper, we publish
for the benefit of those who ought to ad
vertise but don’t:
44 At New Orleans, a man who bad
but recently commenced business, found
bis creditors rather too prompt in urging
the payment of their little bills. ‘What
is the matter ?’ he at length asked. ‘Do
you fear me?’ 4 Yes,’ was tbe hesitat
ing reply of a modest dun. ‘Fear me!’
he exclaimed, ‘on what grounds? Has
any one said I am not honest ?’ 4 No ;
Credit.
Strange, indeed, the delusion of the
whole credit system, which, in all its
branches, b a system of usury— in ef
fect, if not design ! It sheds its intoxi
cating influence over all wbo come be
neath it, and bewilders, for a time, the
most intelligent and best constituted
men.
The impression of a credit—postpon
ing tbe day of payment—is like tbe im
pression of a far off period of death, an
accountability on the mind of the way
ward, vigorous, and healthful sinner;—
who, though in bis moments of calm re
flection realizes the certainty of the com
ing event, and may believe in the full
retribution of stern and irrevocable jus
tice, yet banishes tbe thought in
ment with but a slight twinge of con
science, and goes on, still keeping the
day of penitence and change in the illu
sory distance. The man who receives
credit, receives goods of certain value,
without the impression of returning val
ue in exchange, as he would if paying at
the time of reception. lie deals, tbere-
Speech of Hon. Junius Hillyef
of Georgia,
On the Union and State-Rights Parties
cf Georgia, in the House of Repre
sentatives, March 16, 1852.
On motion by Mr. Houston, tbe
Committee of the Whole on tbe state of
tbe Union proceeded to consider House
bill No. 207 , 44 To supply deficiencies
in the Appropriations for the service of
the fiscal year ending 30th of June,
1852.
Mr. HILLYER obtained tbe floor,
and said:
Mr. Chairman : I desire to call tbe
attention of the committee to a remark
made by the gentleman from Virginia,
[Mr. McMullin,] some weeks ago, hi
reply to tbe gentleman from Florida,
[Mr. Cabell,] in which tbe honorable
gentleman from Virginia took occasion
to say of the Union party of Georgia,
that it was composed of factions of all
parties ; and he saw proper to apply to
that honorable and patriotic association,
the term 44 piebald.”
Mr. McMULLIN, (interrupting)
I did use the word attributed to me by
the honorable gentleman, but I used it
under the excitement cf the$nom#nt. I
intended nothing disrespectful te that
party ; for the gentleman is, perhaps,
not awaro that I acted and co-operated
with it during the last Congress.
But, sir, with the permission of tbe
gentleman from Georgia, I will mako
one further remark, for I do sot expect
to trespass upon tbe House again. I
did feel somewhat sensitive upon the
subject of tbe Union party—
[Mr, Brooks here rose and made s
point of order, that the debate was ont
uf order, according to the 31st rule of
the House. Tbe chairman decided, that
by the usage of the House tbe debate
was in order, from whieh an appeal was
taken, and the committee sustained tbe
decision]
Mr. HILLYER, (resuming ) Mr.
Chairman, I have no objection to reliev-
ing tbe gentleman from Virginia, but
the same position and the same senti
ments have been often avowed by oth
ers—by those wbo grossly misapprehend
,n0 * j however, the history of the Union party
in Georgia ; for I am proud to say to
day, and on this floor, that so far from
the Constitutional Union party of Geor
gia being composed of factions of all
parties, that from the mountains to the
sea b>ard, down all our line, there is
not one Disunionist—there is not fonnd

now in excellent credit and proscering
