For «uch n world a’ this 1
Whose dark soft eyes seemed swimming
In a sea of liquid light;
And whose locks of gold were streaming
O'er brows so sunny bright.
Like the brightest buds of summer
They have fallen from the stem;

To fade from earlfe like them.
And yet tho thought is saddening.
To muse on such as they,
And feel that all the beautiful

And perish where they rest.
A Thrilling Incident.
The Rev. Mr. Prime, one of the editors of the
' New York Observer, weho recently went to
I England in the packet strip Devonshire, has
written Ijeaie two very interesting descriptive
letters oi his trip across the Atlantic In !-•’
’ban fifteerfiiavs they were in si-ht ofthe Eug
lish coast, having never changed the course of
tiie ship fronlttte time the pilot left them, off
Sandy Hook When within a few boms sail of
Portsmouth, ■’ man tell overboard and was
drowned. The scene Mr. Prime thus describes
I —.V. I' Com. .dJi’.
A Man Overboard—Aprilß3d, Evening.—
The full moon lose on the sea and hung out
I from the sky like a silver globe, with a clearness
i and beauty that I have never seen. The ship
■ was sailing well under a fair breeze, and we
' walked the 'leek in the enjoy -ent of one of
. the most delightful evenings. Oneaf.er anoth
: er of thr passengers went below, and only a few
of the younger and more romantic remained to
look out on the waves reflecting the beams ot
I the moon now riding far up in the heavens. It
was nearly midnight when the cry shot throu ;h
| the ship piercing every ear and heart, “ a man
; overboard." Except the cry of fire, no sound on
j ship is more terrible.
For days you have been thinking every time
■ you looked over into the deep through which the
ship is rushing, of the helpless and hopeless fate
of him who shall be cast into the sea; and when
the fearful word is given in that tone of raingleJ
tear an 1 pain which the fact extorts, there is a
sinking of the heart as if each one had a friend
now perishing. Mr. Moore, the second mate,
had an assistant in the ship’s carpenter, who had
acted as a seamen during th? passage, as we had
a miserable crew. He was a fine-looking young
man, and the only one of all the men who had
interested the passengers. He had been down
in my state-room, and told me something of his
history. His patients were in Holland, and he
was on his way to visit them. A young woman
was on board to whom he was to be married in
May. and they were to return t ■ America to
spend their days His manners were very gen
tle. and he looked and spoke as ifhe had left the
’ com nrts of home, and bad entered a lite tor
■ which lie was not formed. My heart had gone
cut to him. and in return for some acts of kind
ness be had done to me, I was thinking what
present I should make him befo« gojr.g ashore,
when ut the instant the, shout was made, and
i this noble follow, the pride of the men, was
i in the pitiless waters
Mr. Moore was near him. and had given an
! order to bear ->ff the boom from the side of the
j ship: this man stepped over the bulwarks on
i the outside, pushed against the boom, the topping
I lift gave way. and he pitched forward, head first
‘ into the sea. The ship shot by him in a moment.
Nothing thrown over could reach him. His
I ei'. s of agony came up, cutting the heart. Oso
!,< t- riy. that it would have been a mercy to be
.leaf. Ttfo mate with admirable promptness
gave the order to pift the ship about. “ Ready
auout. Luff round. Hard lee. Tacks and
-beets, main top ;il haul: let go and haul.”—
I’ifoo be ieaped and cried. ” Put ,

Then we gathered oq the stern of the snip,
and looked out into the night and the sea to
watch the event. It was light enough to see
that tears were falling fasten the cheeks of some
in that anxious grous. Sfiirje of us prayed It

was silent, save the wind among the cordage,
and the heavy flapping of the saile as the ship
: lay to. A dark spot rose on the wave ; the flash
' oi the dripping oars in the moonlight met the
eye, and we knew they were coming. The
mate was soon seen standing at the helm. Our
irnpatience would not brook delay, and we sent
out the cry " Ail well V” Our hearts stood still

along the waters, and we knew that the (

Singular Discovery.
There is nothing new under the sun. The
American coffin which attracted so much atten
tion at the Great Exhibition of 1851, and which
by producing a vacuum by means of the air
pump. was thought to be an entirely new me
thod of preserving corpses from decay, has been
just proved to have oeen known in the middle
ages. While demolishing, a short time ago, the
church ot the ancient Welsh College at Helm
stedt. Biunswielc, a coffin made of lead, was
found the lid of which was of glass of immense
thickness, contained ’he body ot a young girl
apparently about twelke years of age, which
still preserved every appearance of youth and
freshness although the coffin bore date 1-161. A--
private letter Irom a bystander tells us that '
“The face and figure of lhe child per
fect as in life, not a single sign of
visible throughout the whole perso* * cneeK
preserved it, delicate forehead its
snowy whiteness. T>-«' r ', whl ;h * as ° f a
’ , beautiful gold color--*’ PyM on the brow and

' r l^B child had lain down to sleep
■ the i -‘ nPn! bef ol,B - The dress of white satin
! Jmrbidered in gold flowers, the shoes of white
r velvet, the lace apron, all seemed bright as if
newly purchased ; and more astonishing sti I, the
bunch of lilies held in the hand of the corpse
I still looked as fresh-and moist as though the dew
still hung upon it. The workmen engaged in
■ the demolition of the building weie struck with
I awe and immediately went in quest of the chief
magistrate of the place, who so n arrived on the
spot, accom/aiiied by several of the inhabitants
Unfortunately the worthy functionary having
recently been made the victim of a practical
joke in tfie town, and being half suspicious that
the sarnie thing was intended, would not believe
I in the reality, and seizing a spade from the
’ hand of orie of the workmen who stood near, dealt
■ a heavy blow upon the lid of the coffin, and
i smashed one or two of the diamond-shaped
i panes of glass of which it was composed. In a
’ moment, and while yet we gazed, a thin cloud
ot dust or vapor, like a smoke, rose up from the
coffin and dimmed the sight, veiling the corpse
from our view. When it had disappeared, we
gazed downwards in awe; nothing remained of
what had struck us with so much interest and
wonder—all had vanished, and left nought be
hind but a heap of discolored dust, a few rags of
tinsel, and one or ty/odried bones'!”
The rage and despair of W- , the great
antiquary and muant of the piece, knew no
bounds. He did his best to Collett the fragments
that remained, and that same evening the coffin
was conveyed to Biunswick. where it will no
doubt form one of the greatest ornaments of the
museum 'I here >a no doubt that the high pre
servation of the eoi pse had been produced by the
abstraction of all air from the coffin, it is
supposed that the child belonged to some great
Prolessor oi the University, who had performed
the experiment in secret, as it is curious tba
amid all this pains and c*re concerning the body
’ of the child, no means should have been taken
; to preserve her name from oblivion. No Wiame
is engraved upon the coffin, not even her initials
: —nothing but the date of the year in whjch she
] died or was buried (1461.) — London Mas.
\ God’s Love.—As the ice upon the mountain,
I when the warm breath of summer breathes up-

’ image of His love.

ALGIiSTA, GEORGLI, WEDNESDAY MORNLNG. JUNE 1 , >853.
[-From the Columbus 'J’imtt and Stntinel ]
The World's Fair in New York.
From present indications the World's Fair in
New York will result in a grand failure. There
appears to have been from the beginning, that
want of energy and system so essential to the
success oi so mammoth an undertaking. Thous
ands from all parts of the country have been
milking their arrangements in anticipation of a
v sit to the great metropolis—the great object of
attraction being the Crys’nl Palace. There is
no doubt but that the exhibition will be opened
some time during the summer—hardly until the
first of August, however—and while as a na
tional affair professing to reflect, as it was de
signed. the enterprise and skill of the nation, it
will tail of it’ object in many, very many re
spects; still there will be much both new and
interesting. To the provincial there will be
novelty and wonders inexhaustible—and to both
provincial and metropolitan, much to see and
reflect upon.
Some have already taken their departure, and
ere a month has elapsed thousands of strangers
will have congregated in New 5 ork. As much
leisure will thus be afforded them, the thought
suggests itself that this spare time may be profit
ably employed by making excursions to various
parts of New England and the Middle S’ates
We have always objected to the fruitless inigra- |
tions annually made during the summer moot s
to places of fashionable resort and dissipation in
the Northern States with no other object than
to kill time and consequent waste of money. If
our pleasure-seekers would find some attractions
bevond the theatres and galleries and museums
of New York —if they would but visit the beau- |
tiful and thriving towns and c ties of centre N.
York and New England, would ramble around
the country and amidst the grandeur of the
White and Green mountains anil along the
beautiful lakes ‘hat deversit’y the whole north
ern and north A, '""‘•‘.section of the Union, and
would think » "o" low JWook. inquire smliuves-
I ligate, talk wK 'C xjLrhey meet: urn! b.- wil
ling to learn— 1? is much in the enter
' prise and progressiveness of the northern States
that challenges our emulation as well as admira
tion—if southern travelers would do this, the
practical good resulting would be incalculable.
But many, after they reach New Yor —which ]
is the great point of rendezvous there—fix them- j
selves for the season, hardly relieved by a day's .
jaant to a w itering place. A stranger thus sit- ■
uated cannot, from the very nature of the case
see anything of northern society Fatigued with j
the din ofSity life and crowded thorough’ares.
stowed away perhaps in the 6th story of an
over-i rowded hotel, and imposed upon by liar- ;
pies who feed upon the stranger’s verdaney and ;
love of novelty, nothing else could possibly re
sult, hut that he becomes, ere long, surfeited j
with what he considers the ‘ attractions of the
north,” and. disgusted with every thing in and ,
about city life: returns home to inveigh against
the avarice of the north, the meanness and par* i
simony and imposition of the section, when
they have seen nothing bevond what a mere I
street gazer might—having kept company with
theatrical goers, hotel loungers and sight seers.
If a love for real pleasure had prompted them
governed by an intelligent curiositv as well as
see; they might have brought back a sto eot
experience which, if properly used would go far j
towards enabling ns to rival more advanced and
densely populated States, and which would place
us eie long, even by comparison, upon an emi
nence.
We have listened to many extatic descrip- I
tions of travelers after their summer sojourn .
north upon the greatness of northern cities, their
vast business and commercial operations—their
palatial residences—their delightful places ot
resort and a thousand minor matters, from a
ballet corps to the learned Russian Rear, and the. .
“ Happy Family,” winding up with a peroration
red hot with invectives against the want of
principle, and filching propensities of northern I
people, with an asseveration never again to cross j
Mason and Dixon’s line. Now we hope, for the I
good of the south, that such never will show
their noses north of the Potomac Those who ■
associate with mountebanks, spend money with :
bar-tenders and hackmen.at theatres and monkey ;
shows, may be sure of being fleeced—and deserve ,
to be. We have enough charges, well founded ■
too, against the north, without provoking our
irritability by endeavoring to saddle upon her .
people the fruits of our own folly. 4ft
There is another class of our people who pre-rt
fer a different round of enjoyment. After a;
week’s delay in the great metropolis, in order to |
brush up and don the prevailing mode, they j
take a peen at the novelties, and dash off into
the country ar to a watering place, where they I
remain probaply a week, and back again to the |
’ city—a round of amusements ensues, until, I
wearied and nervous, .off they go again to re
j cuperate—ax seeping along the green meadows,
inhaling thAfresh momitain air or enjoying the
s*a bath aaildbreezes. landing with coffimenda
bl# appreciation the neatness, cleanliness, and I
system and beauty of all they see. '1 bus the I
season is ixissea—tne retuftLH finally resolved :
rrpon. arwi'w’ith a trunk full of notion*
en route for home.
We will venture tcrassert that four-fifths of
.nr people who visi ■ nTB. north, for other than ’
j be ranked among one or
; the rtherof tue, classes we have indicated.
Neither brini pack anything useful. The one j
gbuse tbe north Because they had not brains ;
sufficient tp.gA fieyonrl toe plntr.ii of mounte
banks—the’qther wish but to skim along, enjqy- •
ing the preaint. hour and giving themselves'i.o :
trouble or thought beyond the payment of bills
and an occasional grumbling at high prices.
They return to talk through lhe events of last,
summer's pleasures, and live in anticipation ol
the coming seasqn tq be spoilt iu like 'manner.
No thought is taken qf home—no P 1 ? 8 ? brought
back for improving and beautifying their O'?p
homesteads and towns. Home is altogether ig
nored. Nothing is joyous or pleasant hut in the
distance. The mild winter passes with but lit-
Ite inconvenience—spring comes and hursts forth
with its showers and g.een verdure and fragrant
woodlands—summer steals on apace and we
apostrophise our beautiful lands in the words ol
the author of “ The Seasons.”
I Ricu is thy soil and merciful thy elime,
I Thy streams unfailing ip the »ummor’s drought.”
| But no more—romance is at an end. Our
I “ pnfailing stream” refresh only their natural
: banks, our towns are desolated, no provision
’ maile against the,solstitial heat. Their denizens
j betake themselves away, and hundreds of miles
distant sit beneath grateful shades, coded by
bubbling fountains, which have their sources
perhaps scores of miles away, and while beguiled
by such pleasure forget their own “guardian
oaks” or elms><ltisg and'parched fora cooling
shower from the rashing river or purling brook
which loves the banks perhaps almost at their
verv feet. The rich aod green shrubbery is
’ scorehed. tbe liowqrs are wilted the
■ once gravelled walks are grov.»up ip weeds, all
in dust, dearth and decay. The Streets are dry,
i and dusty, and deserted: houses are closed, ev-
I rything iskiil. #nd languid and dull. And why !
I Because ft is and under “no circum
i stances could we think of remaining in such
I APCbtr.fort and deprivation ” Birt wc hie to a
rplace built perhaps upon a barren level—such a
place we have in our mind’s eye while we
write—treeless and forbidding, but which, by
dint of care and attention, and lhe exercise of a
cultivated taste, has become a popular resort,
apd supported by those who sacrifice their home
comforts, and p’ho. because nature has done so
much for them, seem detefmiped to do nothing
for themselves.
We do not object to traveling—on the other
hand, we would encourage i! nothing so liber
alizes the mind and i mproves th? heart; but
what we do object to. is this cu ternary annual
migration from one latitude to another, like the
flocks of birds that alternate with the seasons,
and, too much like them, regardless of what is
left behmd.
i If our people would, when aw y from horn*,
gather up information with a view to its appli
cation at home in a beneficial, practical way—
if they would but make mere pastime a seconda
ry consideration, and gather knowledge as they
ride, the South woo d but little longer suffer the
taunts of the North by being pointed to half
built towns, neglected public improvements, and
a want of system, and order, arid neatness, and
in attributing all this, as they do, to the “blight
ing influences of slavery.”
W* hope the occasion of the World’s Fair, in
bringing together so many from all sections into
the very heart of our most finished and cultiva
ted metropolis, will teach many lessons of prac
tical import, which the recipients will not return
to sleep, and dream, and talk over, and extol, and
long to revisit those beautiful spots where lord
ly trees have been trained and fountains opened,
and the appliances of art have been prodigally
expended, while around them their gaze is eve
rywhere met by neglected streets, dilapidated
fences and gardens and stagnant goose ponds.
• ’ By all means go to the World’s Fair; think, as
i wgll as see, and let us profit by what may there
be learnt. We gre Southern Rights to the core,
L and are jealous of the interests gpd reputation
i of every southern man, woman and child. The
South has reached an era which calls for the ac

The New School General Assembly, which
has been in session ht Buffalo for about tw<
I weeks, adjourned on Tuesday evening. The
Buffalo Courier remarks that the session has bee
a harmonious and fraternal one, although mat
ters have been discussed upon which there was r
conflict of opinion and of feeling. The slaver}
question received more attention than any
i other, and was disposed of, says the Baltimore
i Sun, in rather a harmless way. There was a
strong conservative influence in the body—near
ly all its best and most able men deprecating
further action as unnecessary and injudicious
The fashionable amusement of proml-.-.1.e.- 4313-
ciug was unanimously denounced by the As
sembly, as improper and injurious for professing
Christians either to take part in it, or to quality
their children for it by teaching them ti e art;
and it was also recommended that the discipline
i of the church be exercised towards those guilty
i of the offence.
Resolutions were also adopted in relation to
the marriage of a man with his niece, declaring
i such marriage as evidently contrary to the teach
ing of the scriptures, and incestuous, demanding
the judicial action of the churches, and if not re
I pented of should incur church censure.
Bayard Taylor, Esq., who has been appointed
j Attache to the Chinese Embassy, by Col. Mar
| shall, the U. S. Commissioner, thus writes to the
■ N. Y. Tribune from Macao, under date of March
I 20th: ■ ’ *
! The rebels boldly avow their intention o<
overthrowing the present dynasty. They ex
' hibit the greatest skill and judgment in their
operations, and their career is marked by a suc
cession of iiiiiiiternipted triumphs. They retain
no city or fortress w.ich they capture, respect
private property, commit no outrages in indi
viduals. an.! seek to conciliate those whom they
conquer. The consequence is, their ranks are
continually increasing, and unless checked be
fore long, they will succeed.iu their aims. The
British steamers ostensibly go up to protect
I British property in Shanghae. It is not known
whether they will do more than this, since,
should the rebels succeed, the probable effect
will be to open all parts of China to the world
The crisis is intensely intere ting. It is the
j first time in nearly two centuries that the Im
i perial Government has been seriously menaced
Col. Marshall, finding no authorities at Canton
who were empowered to treat with him, has
j determined to go to Shanghae, with the expec-
I tation of proceeding to Nankin, where Sen, the
Imperial Commissioner, remains at present, en
i deavoriug to check the progress ot the rebels.
Mr. Taylor also states that Commander
i Franklin Buchanan, of Maryland, the successor
I of Com. Aulick, wins good all sides,
by bis frailk prompt'and conscientious discharge
, of the his station.
r The Philadelphia Ledger states that the some-
I what extravagant appropriations made at the
I last session of the Pennsylvania Legislature have
1 made it necessary for the Executive to make a
; loan of some $700,000 from the Banks of Phila-
■ delphia. The loan is for one year, and bears six
i per cent. AH the city banks participate in it,
loaruhg Snout six per cent, of their respective
I capitals The money is to be applied to the
’ North Branch Canal, to the Mountain Division,
I and ‘o litupr permanent improvements. No part
I of it k'ill be twr’d tor the paymapt ol State intgx-.
trrst'.'liEich J*T&Tty The recourse to a
1 loan at thl* tiine hox been made the more irn
! rerative from the fact that the Attorney General
has decided that the bonus of $250,000 from the
I Girard and Mechanics’ Banks, (whose charters
I are just renewed by the Governor signing the
l bills,) and which was originally intended for the
I North Branch, cannot go to that important im
' proveiuent, b;;t,'gnfc a general law, must go to
| the sinking fund.
The message of Gov. Marfin, of New Hamp
shire, transmitted to the Legislature on Thurs
day, states that there are 6.241 miles of railroad
in the State in running order, which cost $lB,-
346,0gC fit. The last annual receipts were sl,-
768,455 98, and the expenses M4fi,sfi7 34—giv
ing a net hicomexif SBIB,BBB 44, and averaging
nearly 44 percent. oii-Uie whole investment.
In treating ffpon the subject of accidents on
lailroads, the Governor says;
I again invite legislation on this subject, and
respectfully propose, that carelessness in persons
connected with the management or running of
railroad trains, and ot machinery in other cor
poratioiia, when occasioning the loss of life, may
be made an indictable bifence, pupifhable by
-confinement to hard labor' for a term of years,
according to the aggravation of the offences: and
that a Life protecting Commission may be es
tablished. with plenary powers to examine into
all rqattero appertaining _to railroads or other
corporations, which'niay''enouiigei i iie Tiyes of
passengers, operatives and all having lawful bu
siness with such corporations:—to examine em
ployees as to their intelligence and fitness for
the stations they may occupy, where careless
ness or ignorance may endanger life ; to make
and establish rules, regulate speed and time, and
to do all other things requisite for the better pre
servation of life frotp accidents, occasioned by
the mismanagement qt qoi poratjon employees.
The banking capital of the State is $3,266,-
000, in addition to that of the Savings Banks,
which is $2,132,218. The banks in the. Gov
ernor’s view are somi'l and popular, but he is
not, apparently, in favor oi the extension of their
capital.
The debt of the State has increased during the
past year from $66,195 08, to nearly $74,000. —
The quadrennial session of last fall has been the
principal cause ol the extra expense. '.’*3?
It is said that in India lines of electrical tele
graphic communication work remarkably well
in the transmission of important news from posts
distant from each other, and 3000 miler ol ad
ditional line are to be added immediately. It is
related that a short time since, some delay hav
ing occurred in the transmission of signals from
one of the stations, the cause was asked, and the
answer returned that no one could get near the
office with messages, as two tigers and some
other ferocious creatures were prowling about
the office. Highly characteristic this ot the
jungle districts, though not an enviable position
for the clerk.
Disputed Terri roar.—General Garland was
to have left Washington Citv on the 3d for the
Mesilla Valley. He is said to have authority,
in case of necessity, to call upon the Governor
of Texas for an adequate force to repel the Mex
ican invasion of the disputed territory. The
Texan Rangers will respond with alacrity to a
summons that promises the great advantages of
sure and high pay and easy victory. It is men
tioned that Gen. Garland has said that if be
should have to hit Trias at all, he should hit
him hard.
The Journal of Commerce supposes Govern
or Trias has already occupied the disputed JMHH
ritory with 1,000 men.and says:
“ It was certainly imprudent in the Mexi|o*fr'
Government to send an armed force to oftfbpy
the disputed territory—such a step being virtu
ally an appeal from diplomacy ftp the sword;
and we are not pre lared to#y that, tbe U. S.
government is wrong in this demon
stration with a coiKitcr movement. We how
ever take it for granted that Gen. Garland is in
structed to resort to every honorable means for
avoiding a collision, consistent with the main
tenance of the question in s/rr/u quo. The first
Slid obvious proposit ion should be, that the Mex
ican fi.rces shall he withdrawn.; in which case
(}en Garland will agree not to enter, until the
affairs shall !»■ arranged between the two Goy-,
enimenrs. If Gov. Trias declines to dp this
and savs his orders are to maintain his position
at. nil hazards, then, doubtless, Gen. Garland
will also occupy the disputed territory, and if at
tacked will defend himself. But, unless attack
ed, we cannot suppose that there will be a hos
tile collision.”
Church Organs.—Two fine brgans were re

Suicide of a New Yoik Merchant.
The New Yyi k Times furnishes the following
larticulars in relation to the death of Mr. H. D.
?elden, ol that city, who was lost from the Ara
na on her last trip out to Liverpool:
A mer#ichoiy incident occurred on board the
lay befoi ? the Arabia’s arrival at Liverpool, on
ler last trip out. M'- H. D. Selden, well-known
n New York trona his long connection with the
muse of A- I ■ Stewart & Co., as the head sales
nan in t'.e Sliswl department, in a moment,
•oubtless of mental alienation, jumped over
ma rd, and was- drowned He had been with
hat house for 17 or 18 years, and enjoyed its
•onfidenee totlie tidiest extent. He left it, how
•ver, on the 14 <>f May, and had formed a part
ership wth other parties in New York, on
chose behalf h» was on his way to India for the
nirchaso ot goods. He had been ill during the
vhole voyage, jiot so much from sea sickness as
rom other ailments, which he had when he
nine on im.-.d. Under the care of the shin’s
■iorgeon, w'wever. he seemed t<: lie getting bet
or, though";.; continued to be greatly depress
'd, and co. ptMued of serious suffering during
he voyage, tltfjffient most of his time, after
he first day. m his stateroom, which was in the
orward ca“.o, on the starboard side, naxt to that
if our inlorfi ttnt.
On Thursday, 12th, he was on deck several
imes, and Reined quite as well as usual. On
Friday mori /ng he go: up very early and went
ibove, and worked with the sailors for half an
lour in clearing the deck. He came down, and
iv accident tvent into the room next: to his own,
hrowing hit coat upon the sofa. Being remind
'd of bis mi lake, he looked about, took up his
'■oat, and v int out. He soon after went into
mother roi p, and asked the occupant if he had
rhaved. Hrsaid hebad. He asked him if he
had change | his linen. He told him no, but he
uteu.dnd4x4‘q«- jJn taiid. ue beifove.l he w-mIJ
"T.-.O—w*..taut—soon came back—said he had
haved and changed his linen, and then went
ibove. as oex correspondent came up at about
8 o’clock, he was standing at the gangway door,
■omplaining ot illness to a passenger who ad
; vised him to eat olives, as a cure for sea sick
ness and soon left him. He said it was of no
use—he was very ill and cared but little what
became of him.
He seems to have then gone below—came up
again and passed out. at the larboard gangway,
went just forward ofthe paddle box arid jumped
over the railing. The passengers being then
nearly all at breakfast, no one seems to have
<een him go over. A sailor at the masthead,
however, saw him as he passed astern, and gave
the alarm. The Captain and first officer were
both below, but came up immediately, though
ait half dressed. The steam was at once blown
iff—the boatswain with five men got into the
long boat, and the ship backed towards the
place where he had disappeared A life pre
server had been thrown over, but it was floating
by itself. The poor man was seen once or
wire to raise his bands high out of water, but
ifterwards the only guide to his position was a
red garment, supposed at first to be a sailor’s
shirt, but which proved to be the inner lining
■f his overcoat. Up to this time it was believed
hat the unfortunate person w.<s a sai'or, who
had fallen from aloft, and as the shirt seemed to
ne alone, it was thought he had thrown it off;
and was probably swimming. The sea was
perfectly smooth, however, and nothing could be
seen of him.
The long boat had by this time been cast off,
and on reaching the garment found that it; en
closed his body, which it seemed to have buoyed
up. At first.there seemed to be some slight
signs of life. |nd it was hoped he might be reviv
ed. Some rlelay occurred in hoisting the boat
ilongside, as the ringbolt gave way and let it
Imp. It, was finally lifted up—half full of wa.
'er, —and it was then first discovered that the
unfortunate victim was Mr. Selden. Although
he was evidently dead when brought aboard, all
possible efforts, by friction and otherwise, were
used for his restoration, but in vain. A plain
board coffin was made in which his remains were
deposited and taken into Liverpool, where, after
m inquest, they were given in charge to the
American Consul. Upon his person weje found
bills of exchange to the amount of $40,000 on
Brown. Shipley & Co. We understand he left
a family in this city, upon whom this sad news
must fall, of course with crushing weight.
All possible efforts seem to have been made for
his rescue. Some fifteen minutes elapsed be
tween the time the alarm was g ! ven and that
when bis body was reached, which is not more
than is usual in such cases, though better dis
cipline and less confusion might have made it
less. The first officer of the Arabia exerted
himself to the utmost iu the endeavor to effect
his rescue. 1..' ...' '

1 . 'Meirs. Editors :— Having observed that puK
i He attention has again been attracted to tbe tnf.
I portance of a Railroad communication between
, Macon and Charleston through Augujyi.. I’de
-1 sire to bring that subjectrto the consideration ol
ourcitizenlf ft will tie remembered, that a few
years since, a Railroad convention was held in
Macon with the view of obtaining another out
let for our trade and produce to the ocean. At
that convention an unfortunate division of opin
ion as to the point of intersection with the Geor
gia Railroad led to a defeat of the enterprise
Savannah became awakened to the importance
ofdeftnding herself against the threatened un
dertaking. and inunediately lent her aid to the
Gorddn Railroad, which was ir. a languishing
condition, finished that road, and aided in its ex
tension tu’Eatoirton She has, also, lent effi
cient aid to the Burke Railroad, which will soon
be completrd to Augusta. For her energy in
urg ng forward these various enterprises »he de
serves great credit, and conferred great benefits
upon the country penetrated by her roads, and
is already reaping the rewards of her industry
and perseverance.
It was doubtless the design of these two cross
roads to prevent the building of a road from Ma
con to Warrenton, by opening a communication
to the Capital of the State, and silencing the
demands of Middle Georgia for a Railroad to the
seaboard. But these roads do not meet the ques
tion which was projiosed to the convention be
fore alluded to. and I shall be greatly surpris' d
if Charleston, with ail her wealth and public
spirit, shall lie still and see 200,000 bales qf cot
ton pass through Macon to Savannah without
making an effort to draw a part of them with
the accompanying trade to herself. The exten
sion of the South Crrolina Railroad across the
river at Augusta, removes the only uarrier
whjch has pre ented Charleston from compe
, fciire siifcessfully for the cotton whigh arrives at
-Augusta, and T < iinfflir dOHUTj'nrsr Stus .»11l aid
liberally in building a Railroad from Macon to
Warrenton, which will so greatly add to the
cotton received at Augusta.
The importance of such a road to Macon will
be seen at a glance. In our present condition
we are dependant absolutely upon the Central
Railroad, and that Company knowing such to
be the fact, will give the preference to those
who are not thus wholly dependant. Acting
under these influences, the cotton from Griffin,
Oglethprpe, Columbus and all intermediate pla
ces, will have the preference in transportation
over cotton received at Macon. The conse
quence will be, that during the business season
we will always bejjompelled to wait until the
others are served ; buyers of cattail, knowing
this, of course, cannot give '«• Hand prices as if
there were a speedy communication with other
markets. Decrease in prices here will drive
trade to othe’ places, and Macon, notwithstand
ing the “ material aid” which she furnished in
building the Central Railroad, will bo made to
suffer by its policy towards her.
The road which I am advocating will also be
important tn Augusta, For with competition
for freights at that point, b’tween the Caroling
Road, the River and the Burke Road, produce
will always be carried forward at very low rates.
With such facilities, and with the favorable com
mercial regulations of an interior town, the
Augusta merchant will be enabled fa compete
successfully with those of Lotn Charleston and
Savannah, in the purchase of cotton and in the
sale of goods to merchants and planters of the
interior.
The Georgia Railroad too, will receive the
benefit of a large additional freight and travel
over the lower part of her road, from the build -,
ing ofthe feeder which is now proposed. '•
Nor can I overlook the advantage which such
a road would be to the beautiful and hospitable
city of Columbus. With the markets of the
Gulf opened to her by the noble Chattahoochee,
and Savannah and Charleston by Railroad, what
a commanding position would she occupy.
For the building of such a road there from
Macon, through Milledgeville anfl Sparta to
Warrenton, we rely upon tho cities of Charles
ton. Augusta, Macon and Columbus, the planters
of Hancock apd Baldwin, the Georgia and tho
South Carolina Railroad companies It is cer
tainly the interest of all theso to unite their es-
lorts in carrying forward the work. Such a
road with its equipments would probably cost a
, million of dollars, and the money cap be raised if
the enterprise will pay.
To convince the public of the profitableness of
, such a road. I have only to say, that the Central
Railroad cannot carry offthe produce which will
accumulate at Macon, and a part of it must find
its way over the new road. And I have yet to
be convinced that a bale of cotton could not be
carried through toAwWsta, either to Charleston
tor Savannah, as cheap as by toe Central Rail
road, with the au] of tfie, competition which will
exiijt pt Augusta. And 1 have no doubt, that
1 when the Girard and Mobile Railroad shall be
’ completed, both the great mail and travel will
’ be again attracted to this olfi lips, formerly tra
• versed by the hlrr.Uring stßgu Hat* ' \
Ag«m it is the. univrsal experience,(that
I the opening of new facilities for trads and fcivel
increases that trade and travel. In fact, the
■ settled policy and conviction of the country, is,
’ that all the business and trade of the country
will be done by the railroad. They have already
' driven out all other modes of conveyance, we
are dependent upon them, they are no lonjjejf frn
article of luxury but necessity, and we mutt

! and they will always pay a fair remuneration.
lam aware that the bqi!ding of such q road
’ as I have advocated, might ale,rm the jealousy of
those who wish to pncourage our own sea-port
towns. But with the facilities. already offered
to she need not fear honorable rival
ry, and we have been taught in Macon that the
I interests qf a particular community, must be
, made always to yield to the accomplishment of
. any great public enterprise. Charleston is a
Southern City—we are proud of her as such,
and should do all we can to build her up. and
i while we unfeignedly rejoice at the grotying
prosperity of Savannah, there is no
Georgia, bound as she is to Carolina by a
community of intcfesrs arid pursuits, should not
seek a favorable communication with the great
seaport of that State. G.

We published yesterday’the resolutions adopt
ed by the General Assembly of this sect at its
' repent session, at Buffalo. To, tb.osa who have
watched the onward growth of fanatical senti
ments aa it has invaded every department of
Northern society, this new development will be
i no surprise. It is but another fragment of the
scum which is ever boiling up from that hissing
and angry pool. Politically speaking, wp do
not regret it. We rather welcoopp it as the suie
working of those netupd causes, which are go
ing on to disintegrate on the one hand, and re
, caiit, 'beneficently to re-erecton the other. Slave
ry agitation is now doing wonders for the insti
tution. The South are daily outgrowing gny
maudlin sentiment which she may buve hither
to felt in relation to slavery, and vituperation
and slandef contribute now to the very whole
some result of exasperating her peop'e against
their calumniators, and instilling a more dogged
purpose to adhere to the institution.
But these resolutions address tfi suenjhei's of
this church in the Sqt;th a eu-ayg and vital ques
tion. WRI thyy permit their consciences to be
purged on th? subject of slavery by their aboli
tion mfs-niymed “ brethren?” [t is Reedless to
attempt to disguise the fuyt--:ti;e inquisitor has
entered their churches and home*. The eyes
of theg jeljaw-citizens in the South are upon
them, and they look for a conduct and action
worthy of brave Christifns and true Southern
ers.
We append a set of counter enquiries sub
mitted in the following resolutions by a South
ern delegate. Dr. Rosa, cj Tennessee. The Rev
erend Doctor was evidently determined to pre
sent the chalice to their own lips :
That, with an express disavowal not to be in
quisitorial, &<•.. a commitee of one from each of
the Northern Synods of-.-=»aba appointed, who
shall be requested to report at the next General
Assembly.- .'jfe , <■
1. The number of Northern Church members
who traffic with slave holdersand are seeking to
make money by selling them negro clothing,hand
cuffs and cowhides.
2. How many Northern Church members are
concerned, directly or indirectly, in building and
fitting out ships for the African slave trade, and
the slave trade between the States.
3. How many Northern Church members have
sent orders to New Orleans and other southern
cities, to have slaves sold, to pay debts ccming
to them from the south. [See Uncle Tom’s
Cabm.J
4. How many Northern Church members buy
the cotton, sugar, rice, tobacco, oranges, pine ap
ples, figs, ginger, cocoa, melons, and a thousand
other things, raised by slave labor.
5. How many of these Church members have
intermarried with slaveholders, and have thus
become owners themselves, or enjoy the wealth
made by the blood of the slave—especially if
there be any Northern ministers of the Gospel
in such a predicament.
6. How many Northern Church members, aie
the descendants of men who kidnapped negroes
in Africa and brought them to Virginia and New
England in former years.
7. What is the aggregate and individual wealth
of Church members thus descended, and what
action is best to compel them to disgorge this
blood stained wealth, or to make them give dol
lar for dollar, in equalizing the loss of the South
by emancipation.
8. How many Northern Church members,
ministers especially, have advocated murder in
resistance to the laws of’the land.
9. How many Northern Church members own
stock in the underground railroads running off
fugitive ‘laves, and Sabbath breaking railroads
and canals.
10. That a special committee be sent up Red
River to ascertain whether Legree, who whip
ped Uncle Tom to death (and a Northern gen
tleman) be u<jt still in connection with some
Northern Church in good and regular standing
11. How many Northern Church members

has handed to the
n rusal a number of private {

v rectitude of cond!>ci are well known to
ri quaintances here. The writers all conciw in
speaking very favorably of their adopted coun
t try, and express themselves not only satisfied
. but delighted with the change they have made. .
They represent the climate as being peculiarly
congenial, and the soil as exceedingly fertile,
P and state that the emigrants from t» eU. States
. have been generally very successful in securing
i* homes for themselves and a’qniring the meant
# of comfortable livelihood. Some-one or two in»
? stances are spoken of where emigrants have
. been unfortunate ; but this is attributed to<auses

, in the least calculated to diminish the force of
the statement that the country affords greater”’

The American ex lactstroin letters written
by F. Johns and Jacob M. Moore, now
citizens of Liberia.both of whom are well known
! in Baltimore.and any statements of theirs we*

. Mr. Johns writes under date ot March 16th,
' 18'3—
“ Although [ do not intend to persuade any

Under date of March 14,1853, Moorevvrites as
follows:
“ Friend Walker:— We are all in
and prosperity.” * * * “J have

here is nearly SIOO per month. I attend to „
immigrants at the Virginia reception house,
which I get $42 50 per month, but this does not
interfere with my private business” Hethen *
alludes to his family and friends, all of whom are
spoken of as being in good health and engaged
in profitable business. “ John Bowie is the only
one of the expedition who is not doing well. He
is working about by day’s work for other peo
p’e.” [The expedition spoken of left here in the
■ barque Liberia Packet in 1851, and numbered
upwards of sixty persons.]
“ Politics run high here now. as our Presiden

nees are : Samuel Benedict for President, E. J.
Ray for Vice President; and J. J. Roberts for

* * * “You know me well;come out here and
you will never regret it, and come at once.
Your six months provision will give you a suffi
cient start. I only, brought sl6 with me, and
after eighteen months, I am worth some hun
dreds, clear of all demands.”
In relation to the condition of the immigrants
the other letters ’corroborate the statements of
Messrs. Johns and Moore, and Several of the
writers are anxious to have chsir friends follow
them.
Georgia Railroads.—Hon. Edward Ever
ett, in a lecture delivered in New York, on
Wednesday evening last, paid a high compliment
to “ Georgia, the Empire State ofthe South,”
giving her credit for eight hundred miles of
finished railroad. The Herald estimates the ex
tent of our railroad track, at nine hundred and
ninety miles, at a cost of, say $20,000,000. and
’
adds—
Besides these, the citv of Savannah has just
surveyed a road to Florida, having its western
terminus at Pensacola, a distance of three bun>-„4hf
dred and eighty miles. Savannah will build tip' T
to its western border, two hundred and ninety
miles. $1,500,000 have bean subscribed.
Besides these roads, three hundred mi les more
are in contemplation, and will certainly be
built. These will make the system of railroads
in Georgia amount to one thousand five hurgired
miles. It is remarkable that the State has ntg
given a copper in aid of one of these roads, ex
cepting that from Atlanta to Chattanooga, which
wholly belongs to it.
It may be added that the New York and Sa
vannah Ocean Steam Navigation Company have
now four shifts of 1,400 tons each—the Florida
Alabama, Augusta' and Atlanta. No doubt is en
tertained that within the next, three years, there will
he a daily line of such ships between the two cities. _•

Pur impping Triumph* Acknowledged.
America is the country which enters into this
competition with the greatest energy and skill,
I here is no doubt tiial; all branches of the
American navy h.uva ihe benefitof an education
far superior to rhat which can be obtained by
the class in Great Britain In re
le.ence to I his it. may be remarked that papers
have-been supplied by the American government \
to the masters of great numbers of merchant ' \
vessels, containing a system of directions with
respect to observations to be made durin« their
re-ipevtice voyages. Aided by toese and the
logs oi the vessel*, Lieutenant Maury has been
enabled to obtain such a knowledge of the cut
rents oi thp ocean, and the trade winds, aa to to
reduce the length of certain voyages by almost
one-tbird. A discovery of this nature has the
effect of giving the Americans some king very
like a monopoly of a particular trade for a certain
■time. It is not too much to assert that the logs I
of th> greater number ot English merchant
vessels would b.uvabeen utterly useless in inves
tigations of nature.
Tb» general education of matters of English
vessels is, no doubt, limitably detective. The
feeling of the meeting yesterday was unanimous
as to the Necessity ot providing by a sufficient
education for the remedy ot evils of this kind.
On O<R mercantile and maritime eminence de
pends our position among the great powers of
the world. We have up to tb» present time
been in the possession us so many natural ad
vantages that the race of competition has been
for us comparatively easy. Ore by one these
advantages may be counterbalanced. We are
menaced in our manufactures, in our trade, and
in our maritime supremacy. As a means of
rising superior to these dangers,' none can be
more efficient than a sound practical education to
the mercantile and mailtime classes of our com
munity; and if the meeting yesterday isable to
render such an education more practicable, it
will merit the gratitude not of the city of Lon
don merely, but of the nation at large.
