Heinsius aud Corneille val ued Lucan above Virgil. Adrian consid ered the eloquence of Cato superior to Hint of Cicero. And Scaliger placed Ho mer and Horace far beneath Virgil and Juvenal, llow shall we account for so unworthy preferences? Because the re flect one has for an author is proportioned lo the analogy between his ideas aud those ..f his reader. On this principle it is quite easy to account for the "enthusiasm hit Grant and Wilson," among bitter po litieal fire-eaters and the “ unconditional surrender host ” who arc held together by the “cohesive power of public plun der.” The analogy is plainly visible between them and their Master. "Addi tion, Division, and Silence,” have been their words of power. They impoverish the people by their “addition and divis ion," and propose lo answer for tiieir dimes by “silence.” An old proverb says “ A man may hold his tongue iu an ill time," aud —Amyclas silentium perditi (" Amyclto was undone by silence") —so let us hope that the silent man at Long Branch and liis following may lie sent where they can indulge their penchant without detriment to public interests. sipcelnl to the Eaterprise.

We shall give full returns to-morrow Tim ItI’KAL Cakomnian for August is equal, if not superior to any of its prede cessors. Among the writers of the pres ent number are H. W. Ravencl, I>. Wyatt Aiken, W. H. Yeomans, and E. 11 Pen dleton, of Sparta; all authorities in their departmauts. The editorial chair is ably Idled by 1). IT. Jacques, whose motto is " Progress with Prudence, Practice with Science." Walker, Evans & Cogswell, of Charleston, are the publishers PEACE. Every day it is predicted that the pres ent political campaign will ho of unprece dented bitterness. We have no faith In llie prophecy. It is expected that all means will be resorted to by Hie adherents of the present Administration to retain it and prolong the agony of misrule. The people are prepared for extraordinary rev elations by the seers of partisanism and for the most degrading measures on the part of political corruptionists. Il has already been discovered, by the wise men of the Administration faction, that the Libera! movement is hut another rebellion in disguise. They would per suade the people that the great coalition of parties and sections which culminated at Baltimore, is simply a mevemeut to re store the South to power aud rob the Na tion of what they are pleased to call the grand results of the war. The objective point is the enfranchised race, as usub!, aud they seem determined to force the war on Africa. But the issue lies not here — and they know it. The Scale does not turn upon that point, and the direction of the colored vote will not materially aifect the grand result. It is not an issue of race or complexion, or even of parlies, but of Administration of government. An Administration elevated by the dominant parly, has violated its I rusts anil degraded ils power. It lias proved recreant to its supporters, substitu ting despotism for constitutional forms, aud personal aggrandisement for National weal. It has basely betrayed and wickedly ignored the master spirits of National pro gress, and elevated to leadership the vicious and the ignorant. It has sought to barter tlie Nation’s houor in the markets of the world, and to employ the Nation's strength in keeping in perpetual degradation whole States possessing sovereignty. No jurisdiction has been sacred against its unsconstitutional crusade. These acts of despotism have disintegra ted its own party, and it is to-day an Ad ministration by National sufferance with out allegiance or respect. But one result could come—it lias come. The Nation has arisen, and having oblitera ted sectional lines and party distinctions, demands the restoration into its hands of the authority so wantouly abused. There must he no petty exhibition of acrimony, as though a party sought the overthrow of its opponent, but the calm, dignified, au thoritative command of the master to the unjust steward—“give an account of thy stewardship, for thou mayest he longer steward.” The country is in too deadly lArncst, and-, the unanimity, as we hope, is lc* complete for the restoration of good government, to admit of violent methods in the consum mation of its purpose. The calm resolve is more to be feared lhau the blatant threat, and the union of interests than the violence of faction. The extremes of the Nation are cohered, and peace comes at last, as we believe, in the choice of an Administration that will re store to the States their ignored jurisdic tion, and to aii the people the right to pro tection by laws that they righteously enact ami cheerfully obey. - •* 4- THAT BUREAU A resolution passed the Stale Senate yesterday providing for the appoint ment of a joint committee of five to report upon the feasibility of establishing a Bureau of Direct Trade aud Immigra tion between the ports of Europe and of Georgia, and ascertain the causes of the failure of previous efforts in this direc tion, aud the remedy. As to the importation of Direct Trade, there cannot be two opinions. Those States are most prosperous whose com merce with other countries is great and direct and whose home productions at tract the capital of distant nations. Hut this matter is governed entirely by the industries and conditions ot the States themselves. The increase of trade must follow the multiplication of industries and industrial agents. So long as we make New York shippers the custodians of our cotton—our only article of export of any account—it is vain to sigli for foreign shipping in our magnificent hut silent ports. New York manages to mortgage each crop before it is fairly above ground, and will effectually prevent direct trade, so long as this terrible monopoly exists. If a Legislative committee can devise a plan for the immediate removal of this difficulty, the question will he greatly simplified. The immigration project is the real one. No effort should be spared to induce the tide of immigration in the direction of the Southern Slates, and great effort has already been employed, hut with inconsiderable success. During the month of May 52,770 immigrants passed through the gates of Castle Garden, New York, and 40,758 in June, making a total in two months of 93,528 souls. The immigration hooks at Castle Garden show that hut 885 of this number turned South ward to find homes. Georgia received 39, while North Carolina received but 9. Elaboration is needless. There are two causes operating to keep down the figures of immigration to the South. First, foreign dread of competition with the labor element of the South.— While the Hibernian and the Prussian may willingly accord the rights of man hood and citizenship to the npgro, they shrink (and uo discredit to them) from as suming any closor relationship. The second cause is even more dama ging—namely the “ reign ofterror ” which has been systematically maintained by the present Administration, all over the South, particularly along the Sea-hoard. It is lolly to talk about increasing immigra tion in a country whoso industries are paralyzed by the tramp of hostile soldiery and whose citizens are in daily and night ly fear of arson and murder. The only remedy that can lie suggesteds is a change of Administration, when the establishment of peace and the assurance of protection, will quicken tho energies of the pcoplo at home and attract settlers from abroad. We cannot therefore see, What a Bureau of Direct trade and Im migrating, can do in this matter, except to relieve the State treasury of funds for it support. The Southern Review, vol. XL, No. 23, A T. Bledsoe, I,L. 1)., Editor, St. Louis; Southwestern Book and Publishing Company. This ponderous Quarterly for the quar ter ending with the present month, vindi cates its claim to a place in the van of modern criticism and thought. The first urticle is on the hackneyed subject of “ Apostolical Succession,” and appears to he Hie first in a contemplated scries of papers on the same subject. So learned and elaborate a paper is, un doubtedly proper food for a review, and cannot lint he a sweet morsel for theolog ical wranglers, hut we shall not attempt a synopsis of it for our readers, taking it for granted that they move in an atmosphere of sublime indifference to tho interminable controversy. The second article is more to our liking, and, we opine to the majority of the readers of the Review. It is an admirable and favorable criticism of " Southern Voices,” a volume of poems by Dr. W. 11. Holcombe, of New Orleans; published by J. B. Lippincott & Cos., Philadelphia. Says Hie reviewer : “ Southern Voices ” is the offspring of the late war. Had our poets been silent on the occasion, the very stones would have cried out against them. The full soul is always eloquent. The voice pours forth in song when the heart remembers. The hand seizes hold of the harp to quiet the agitations of the spirit. A down trodden people sometimes rises higher for its fall, and expresses itself in numbers. * * * * j u (] ie main, the poetry of our author bears evi dence of artistic skill, and will pass suc cessfully through the ordeal to which the most cynical reviewer 'inay it.” After glancing at some of the sorectionß from Mr. Holcomb’s hook, we tmi inclin ed to agree with the genial rcvie&r. We have space for one speciKu only, but we are contkleut that intelligent read ers will desire to lcno\y the whole, a small part of which is so exquisite. It isdhe last staD/aof “The Dead Soul,” which must indeed recall the wondrous spirit and genius of Shelly : “ Whatever may he in the land or the sea, Or the blue dome brooding above, What Nature reveals in her opening seals, Of beauty, or glory, or love ; What Art unrolls ou tier flaming scrolls, Or bards in music rehearse, .Arc the shadows fulling from our souls Outlie floors of the Universe.” Tlic remaining articles in the Review are A Survey of the Churches; Hume's Philosophy; lion. A. 11. Stephens on the Late Her—which may be emphatically styled a war of words between Stephens and the edttor of the Southern Review. Romance of Heal Life an admirable pa per on Wallis’ discourse on the life and character of George Peabody. London and its People; a readable and entertaining account of a picture of Lon don Town, penned in 1854. IK TANARUS) Whedon, D. I)., is the title of a very severe retort by Dr. Bledsoe upon l)r. Whedon. It seems to he a sort of Kilkenny eat fight, and does no credit to the Review. A few Book Notices complete the table of contents. This department is promised greater attention in future. We hope this will not prove “a promise to the ear, to be broken to the hope." Hon . B. 11. Hill began a series of arti cles on the Majority Report on the State Road lease in the Constitution, yesterday. The first article is able and temperate, and concludes thus As 1 do not write anonymous commu nications ; as I desire nothing more than to get before the public all the true facts touching this lease—almost the only good work which a minority of true and noble Democrats were able to accomplish under the Bullock reign ; and as I am more than willing that my friends, the fair and learn ed four who sign this report, shall have all the advantage in the discussion to which the fact can entitle them, I sign my name to this and the other articles following ou this report. Ben.i. 11. Hn.fi. A colored girl had an attack of sun stroke yesterday. • It Is a Ma ur of the unsuccessful man, that lie always locks his stable door when the horse has been stolen. This sort of wisdom never thins about bodily health until it is gone.
