Sabbath Morning-
BT “ WILD rLOW*R."
1 love the Sabbath’s holy hours—
Its rest from worldly care ;
For earth seems nearer on this day,
To yon bright world so fair.
The skies look down so lovingly,
And clouds seem Hitting forms,
That leaving Heaven bend o’er earth,
To shield us from life’s storms.
To woo our hearts from earlh away,
To seek a home above,
Where ne’er a sinful thought intrudes— .
Where all is joy and love;
Where angel harpers, clothed in gold,
Kneel round the jewelled Throne—
Where sad farewells are never heard
And partings never known.
*****
'Tis Sabbath’s holy even time!
And silence walks the earth,
While ail around, above, below,
To sacied thought gives birth—
To thoughts that wi.dly flitting back,
Gaze sadly o’er the past,
Recalling sorrows long since fled,
Or joys too sweet to last.
T* thoughts that vainly seek to pierce
The future’s unknown ' ate.
While Hope’s bright finger points us on
To Heaven’s pearly gate—
To thoughts that lead us to the time
We say to earth farewell!
Hoping to meet our much loved friends
Where saints and angels dwell.
To the great thought that God has given
To man alone eternal life—
That all his other works decay,
Though with such grace and beauty rife.
To man '. the eerm from Paradise !
Planted by God’s eternal hand '.
Redeemed by Christ from sin and death.
To join in Heaven an angel band.
[From Fraser'* Magazine .]
AUTUMN LEAVES.
Oh, Autumn loaves!
Summer’s bright roses one by one have past;
Gone is the beauty of the goldon sheaves;
Ye como at last,
Prophets of winter hours approaching fast!
Oh, Autumn leaves!
Why look ye thus so brilliant in decay ?
Why, for tho dying year when Nature grieves,
Aroyosogay .
With richer hues than grace her op ning day 7
Oh, Autumn leaves!
Ye, as ye don your crimson robes of mirth,
While dull decay a moment scarce reprieves
Your forms from oarth —
Ye tell us, happior far is doath than birth!
Oh, Autumn leaves!
Like you the dying saint in splendor grows ;
With oach faint pulse of life that foobly hoaves
At overling's close,
Hb ev’ry graco with added glory grows.
Oh, Autumn leaves!
like you he easts asido all hues of gloom,
And of his bright’ning hopes a chaplot weave
That o’er his tomb
Threw* tho glad promise of otornal bloom.
America—European Conflicts.
In commenting upon the speech made by the
Hon. R. J. Walker, at Southampton, at the
RosauTK festival, the London News makes the
following remarks:
“The great fact which opens a new era in the
history of Europe is, the readiness—we may add,
the eagerness—of the people, and consequently
of government of the United States, to come
forward and take part in those struggles which
eonvulsed Europe, and which affect even the
empire of Asia. Hitherto the Americans have
boon mere spectators of European events, and it is
hut true to add, that, as spectators, their desires,
rather went against Great Britain than for it
because the Americans could not but see that the
power of Great Britain during the war, and for a
longtime alter it, was directed rather to the sup
port of despotism than in hostility to it, A long
period has now elapsed during which not only
the sympathies of the Englishmen, but the ef
forts of their government, have beenmiinly on
the right side.
“ Kossuth’s appearance and character have
advanced, by perhaps half a century, the period
when the United States were to fling the sword
and trident into the European balance of power.
This they have already done. The vote of Con
gress in favor of Kossuth, the vessel sent to re
ceive and take him to constitutional land, the
preparations for his personal reception, the en
thusiasm of public opinion, necessarily embodied
and expressed in the opinions of all those who
have filled, or hope to till, offices of importance
iji the United States, all indicate that if, within
the last century, Russia has sprung up like a
colossus, to uphold the victoriously waving ban
ner of despotism, and that with a consistency,
a determination, and a power, which France and
England, the natural antagonists of such a prin
ple, want the courage or the unity to combat, a
power, equally collossal with Russia, equally
ardent, has sprung up in another hemisphere, to
raise the standard antagonistic to Russia, zealous
to try “stop’, to the aggressive march of despo
tism.”
The Baltimore American copies the above, and
very justly adds:
A new era will no doubt be opened in the his
tory of Europe when the United States shall
stand forth to take part in European struggles
and conflicts. But when is that time to come ?
Is it near at hand or afar off? We have as yet
room enough to grow, to expand, to develops the
elements of our political being, without being in
terfered with by the pretensions of European
powers. The antagonism which exists between
our republican system and that of European des
potism may bring on a collision whenever the
two shall come in contact on any matter involv
ing rival claims or interests. But are we to
wove forward to make a crisis of this Kind when
none presents itself 1 Are we to step in be
tween conflicting parties or nations in Europe
ia a quarrel which is theirs and not ours ?
Our republicanism is dear to ns as a people.
We are accustomed to identify it with liberty,
aad to regard the latter as impossible without
the former. But where does such republicanism
as ours exist in Europe ? Nay, let the question
go farther, and let us ask ourselves where is it
probable that, under any circumstances, it can
exist in Europe ? If we are to fight for other
people, let us at least know what we are to
ight for.
If England and France are deeply and directly
interested in stopping the onward progress of
Russian aggrandisement, it is for them to prove
their claim to republican sympathy, before they
ean expect to have it allowed. They want the
courage or the unitey, says the London Journal,
to standup against Russia. If so, they deserve
to fall, and do not deserve to have their battles
tought for them by Americans. Their want of
«onrage or of unity is in proof of their want ol
fidelity to the principle of freedom and self-gov
ernment.
How can we best promote the cause of liberty
and of mankipd 1 By attempting to spread re
publicanism in other countries or by taking care
of it at home ? Shall we pour new wine into
old bottles ? Behold how the sufferers under op
pression crowd to our shores! They seek for
freedom where it is to be found. Is it not a
function sufficiently high and noble to proffer, as
we do, an asylum to the fugitives from tyranny
all the world over ? Here liberty abides; here
is her chosen temple; let her votaries come to it
if they would enjoy her presence and her bles
sings. We are not called upon to carry her rites
and her worship into temples where idols are set
* What sort of interference is it that Kossuth
feUeits from us in the affairs of Europe? Not
that we should light the battles of iiung&ry, if
she should rise up again in a struggle for deliver
ance from Austrian rule; but that this country,
in common with Great Britain, should command
fair play and see that Russia should not interfere
to aid Austria in the strife. If Russia in behalf
of the cause of despotism chooses to interfere to
aid in putting down the independence of Hun
gary, then the appeal is to the liberal nations of
the world to interfere in behalf of the cause of
freedom and to repel Russian interposition. The
result of course would be war—and it is this we
have to consider, and along with it we have to
consider how far England and France, if they
should be disposed bo move in such a business,
have a right to expect us to be their allies. They
are both at this moment united in a coalition
with Spain against us—as the French President
with an appearance of complacency announces
in his recent Message. If they should interfere
in behalf of Hungary, it would not be for the
sake of freedom in Hungary. Not at all; we
need not be deceived on that point. They would
interfere because of their dread of the growing
power ol the Czar, which they fear, as they also
fe«r the growing power of this Republic. They
would be willing no doubt to have us come in to
aid them in maintaining the balance of power in
Europe, which they would take care to adjust,
if we gave them the power to do so, with as lit
tle regard for freedom as was shown by the Holy
Alliance in 1815. But we do not believe that
they will stir a foot against Russia, if Hungary
and Italy should both rise against the power of
Austria and demonstrate their ability to throw it
off, if Russia could be kept neutral. Nobody
supposes that Russia would stand aloof. She
would send her Cossacks again, as she did be
fore; and England and France, without “the
courage or unity to combat,’’ would stand silent
ly by as they did before and see Hungary and
Italy crushed again.
AUGUSTA, GA.
SUNDAY ’ MORNING, NOV. 30.
Proprietors of Warehouses in this city
and Hamburg,will much oblige us by having the
stock of cotton in their respective Warehouses
carefully counted for us to-morrow morning.
The Tax Laws of Gkoisgia. —The taxes of the State
of Georgia, as now levied, are a disgrace to the statutes
of the State. An enterprising industrious merchant
living in one of our incorporated villages is taxed en
ormously in proportion to the wealthy planter, who
perhaps lives adjoining the corporated limits of the
Town or village. If the merchant owns a storehouse
worth $3,000 a dwelling worth $4,000. 6 negroes worth
$3,000, a stock of goods at cost, at iO,OOO, in Morgan
county, his tax this year, $101.25. A planter owns 100
negroes, 3,000 acres of land, he is worth perhaps four
times as mnch as rhe merchant, whilst his tax is only
about $54,000.
It is wrong—radically wrong. Our Legislature will
certainly regulate this intolerable state of things. Let
every man pay a tax, in addition to his poll tax, upon
what he is really Worth —let him give it in on oath.
Some would through meanness and stinginess give in
their value below what it really is—but again, many
through false pride,.would do it for more than they are
worth, so in the end nothing would be lost, and things
would in the way of taxation be made upon all people
alike. Bentham.
Tho facts stated iu the abovo communication,
which wo clip from tho Madison Visitor, are un
fortunately for the reputation of Georgia legisla
tion, but too truo.
Tho inequality of taxation upon tho citizens of a
Stato, whore there is no other object to bo pr*mo
tod than tho support of tho Stato goverement is
an evil of no ordinary magnitude, and should com
mand the highest energies and abilities of tho Leg
islature for its correction. There is no justice in a
system that taxes one citizen more than another
whoro all aro equally protected in person and pro
perty and whoro all bear equally tho other bur
thens and duties of tho citizen ; and there can be
no sound or sufficient reason offered to sustain such
a system. It is, therefore, certainly a reproach if
not a “disgrace” to the legislation of tho Slate.
“Bentham” has corroctly stated the disparity
between tho amounts paid by tho Merchant and
Planter in tho cases supposed. Can there bo any
sufficient reason offered to justify such a disparity !
Wo think not.
The planter with his hundred Negroes and cor
responding wealth, cortainly derives greater protec
tion to property from the government, than his
loss wealthy neighbor, tho merchant, who, notwith
standing, pays doublo tho amount of taxes. This
should not be,
Under a woll regulated system of taxation, every
man should pay something for the protection of his
person by the government; hence, the justice ol his
paying a poll tax. And it is equally proper that tho
holders of property, should pay in proportion to
the protection they receive to their property, which
can only bo justly assossedby requiring each to pay
according to his worth —no matter in what that
worth consists, whether it be merchandise, cash,
stocks, monoy at interest, Negroes, lands or cattle,
Groat as tho disparity is, in tho case presented by
Bentham, it by no means exhibits a case ol the
groatest disparity that exists under our system of
taxation. For instance, if a man were worth a
hundred thousand dollars in cattle, horses, hogs or
shocp, or oven in money hoardod up which he would
not place at interest, he would pay only a poll tax>
which in no case oxceods a dollar, while tho mer
chant mentioned by Bontham, would pay over one
hundred dollars, and possibly might owe as much
monoy as his entire property was worth. It is
therefore possible, under our tax laws, for a man
who is really worth nothing to pay a hundred fold as
moro for the support of the State thanthe citizen who
is worth one hnndred thousand dollars. This
seems a most extravagant assertion, yet it is never
theless truo.
That such a system is just or equitable, we pre
sume no sane man will oven protond to assert.
Why then should it continue to “ disgrace ” our
statute books ?
Protestantism in Italy. —The Corner Stono
of the first and only free Protestant church in Italy,
was laid in Turin on tho 31st October last in tho
presence of a largo and highly interested audience.
Tho fact that in Sardinia alono of all tho Italian
States this interesting ceromony would bo toloratcd,
not only shows the devotion of the people to Catho
licism, but also marks tho progress however slow, of
oivil and religious freedom in Sardinia. This is
one of tho immediate consequences of tho chango
in thoir Constitution somo throo years ago, by
which religious freedom is guaranteed to tho citi
zen.
The site of the Church is sn tho most fashiona
blo avenue in tho city, and tho building it is said
will bo quite an ornament to it. Tho ground cost
80,000 francs and has been paid for.
South Carolina Shoe Factory.
We take pleasure in calling the attention of
the public to the advertisement of A. LaFitt
announcing his agency of the South Carolina
Shoe|Factory. It behoves the South to sup
port and sustain these establishments, and
we hope the planters and the trade will call and
examine his stock.
Destructive fire in Nashville. —On the
morning of the 25th, a fire broke out in the
Grocery store of Mr.Bertrand,on College-stwhich
communicated with Mr. Noel’s Rev. A. L. P.
Green’s, each of which were’eonsumed. Sever
al other houses in the vicinity were damaged,
and others in great danger of destruction. Total
loss by the fire is from S3O to 40,000,
Fire at Dalton.
Passengers arrived yesterday, report that a
destructive fire broke out in Dalton on Thursday
night, on the main busings street. We could
learn no further particulars.
New Works.
We have received from Messrs. ThoSj Richards

Part 15—London Labor and the London Poor,
by Henry Mayhew.
The above works are from the press of Messrs-
Harpers & Brothers, New York.
We have also received from Messrs. Geo. A
Oates & Co., a copy of the Address delivered by
the|Hon. George R. Gilmer, before the Society of
Almuni, of Athens College.
Later from Buenos Ayres. —By the arrival
at Southampton, of the steamer Severn, advices
had been received from Buenos Ayres to Octo
ber 4th, Montevideo to the 6th, and Rio Janeiro
to the 15th.
The Brazilian troops had marched into Monte
video, to assist the Montevidians. Oribe, it was
said, was hemmed in between Montevideo and
the troops of Urquiza, and at the last dates, was
arranging terms for surrendering, and which it
was supposed would be accomplished by himself
and staff receiving passports for Buenos Ayres,
and his troops to be made prisoners. Oribe
wished passports for all, but this was refused.
It was reported that Oribe had escaped on
board the ship Swede, and that his troops had
been taken prisoners.
The brig L. Baldwin, mentioned yesterday as
having gone ashore on the 21st inst, on the South
Point of Brigantine shoal, was from Charleston
not Savannah, as erroneously stated. She sailed
hence on the 15th inst. We learn likewise that
she was insured partly in Charleston as well as in
Wall-street, New r -York.
Philomathea Lodge, No. 25, i
October 27th. A. L. 5851. i
A called meeting of the Lodge was held this
evening, on the occasion of the death of our bro
ther William U. Bowen.
Having learned with feelings of sincere sor
row of the death ot our devoted and worthy
brother, Willi am U. Bowen, we delay not to pay
to his memory that tribute of respect so deser
vedly and justly due.
In the demise of our brother Bowen, Masonry
has lost one of her purest members, strictest ad
herents and firmest and most examplary devotees:
He was truly a Mason according to the original
design and beauty of the order—his was Mason
ry of the heart —he gloried in the Masonry of
the Bible. And we can all well remember with
profit his apt illustrations and applications of the
sacred word to the designs of our order.
But the Scythe of Time, which spares neither
the wise nor the good, has cut him off. in the
language so familiar to the deceased as a Mason .
“ The silver cord has been loosed, and the golden
bowl broken at the fountain, the dust returns to
the earth as it was, and the spirit has returned
to God who gave it.”
The great architect of the universe has ap
pointed his bounds and he could not pass. Let
us profit by his example aid imitate his virtues,
squaring our actions by the true principles of our
order, that after passing gracefully after our bro
ther down the level of time, our minds may
be fitted as living stores for that house not made
with hands, where all true Masons hope at last
to arrive. Therefore
Resolved , That we deeply deplore the death of
our worthy brother William U. Bowen, one of
the founders of Philamotha Lodge, and regard
the event not only as a bereavement to our
Lodge, but a loss to Masonry and the community
in which he lived. •
Resolved , That we sincerely condole with our
esteemed and worthy brother William B. Bowen
on the melancholy event.
Resolved, That as a token of respect for the
memory of our deceased brother, we will wear
the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
Resolved.. That this Lodge will attend on to
morrow to pay the last Masonic funeral rites to
the remains of our deceased brother.
Resolved ,* That this memorial be entered a
mong the proceedings of the Lodge, and a copy
transmitted to the brother, William B. Bowen.

The German Settlements in Texas. —A pa
per, published in Western Texas, speaking of the
German settlements on Spring Creek, Spring
Branch, at New Braunfels and Fredericksburg,
and in the counties of Austin, Colorado and Fay
ette, says universal evidences of thrift prevail.
Fine samplns of cotton unsurpassed by and are
brought to market from several of their settle
ments. The Spring Creek settlement is produc
ing as good cotton as the State affords, and the
industrious Germans of that neighborhood are
entitled to the credit of establishing the reputa
tion of Spring Creek lands for the production of
as ample a crop and as fine a staple of cotton as
any other uplands in the State.
The New York Calamity. —The evidence
before the coroner’s jury, to investigate the cir
cumstances attending the late accident at the
Greenwich street school, is published in the New
York papers, but no new facts have come to light
yet Miss Harrison, the teacher, whose sudden ill
ness caused the alarm, testified, and her account
of the origin of the alarm is substantially what
we have given. The cry for water, raised by
some of the girls of her class, to revive her, caus
ed the supposition that there was lire. She had
never remarked that the stairs were unsafe, and
had never before an attack like this one.
U. S. Mounted Dragoons. —The Washing
ton correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
says:
A vigorous effort is now making by the War
Department to reduce the expenses of the Quar
ter-master’s Department, which are enormous.
The Secretary of War will undoubtedly recom
mend the mounting of another regiment of Dra
goons, and the establishment of another company
of Light Artillery, (making with those now ex
isting, four, or one for each regiment of Artil
lery) and yet it is believed that the estimates for
the service of the year terminating the 30th of
June, will be fifteen hundred thousand dollars
less than those of last year.
Schools in France. —The number of com
munal schools in France, according to the French
President’s message, has increased somewhat; it
is now 34,930. The communal schools for girls
amount to 10,542. There are 4,522 free schools
for boys, and 11,378 for girls; altogether the pri
mary schools have increased by 300.
Slaves Escaped to the Bahama
The following is an extract from a letter re
ceived in this citv, dated:
‘•Miami, (E.F.) Nov. 12, 1851.
“On the 3rd inst., five negro fellows—two of
them belonging to Mrs. A. Sabate of St. Augus
tine, two to Col. W. F. English, and the other to
Mr. L. Crawford—stole a sloop of nine tans, be
longing to a Mr. G. W. Feiguson, and made their
escape to the Bahama Islands. They had a fine
moonlight night, and a fair westerly wind to fa
vor the accomplishment of their purpose. One
of English’s boys had been running the sloop for
some time between this place and Key West,
and had jnst arrived in the river that night.—
It being too late when she arrived, they did not
land the supplies belonging to the settlers in
this neighborhood, and therefore made the writer
one among the sufferers by their booty.”—Savan
nah Republican , 28 Ih inst.
Serious Accidf.nt. —On Wednesday last, a
bank of earth fell suddenly upon Mr. Stevens,
an assistant engineer on the Augusta and Way
nesboro’ Railroad, while he was engaged in
measurng the excavation. Mr. S. is seriously
injured, having one of his hips crushed, besides
many bruises.— Jb.
Quite Accommodating.
[From the West Point (Ga.) Advocate.]
Mr. Editor: —Should there be any persons,
who desire to be tied together in the blessed
state of matrimony, we would cite them to our
friend K. J. T. Little, esq., who holds forth at
the Post Office. He hasdone so much of the
business lately, that he has become proficient in
the ceremony, and “does up things brown.”—
Nothing deters him from attending to business
of this character, especially, when the parties are
“runaway.” He rises at the hour of midnight
when the weather is at freezing point, undaun
ted by storms or rain, and flies with alacrity to
perform the pleasing duty of uniting the loving
couple with the silken bands of wedlock. He
keeps constantly on hand a supply of blank
Marriage Licenses, therefore, those who are dis
posed to tie the knot in defiance of stubborn fa
thers, scolding mama’s, or self-willed guardians,
can be accommodated in the shortest time imag
inable provided they bring a few extra Dimes,
byway of keeping up appearances, not that he
requires or expects it.

Kossuth and the Printers. —The New-
York Typographical Society has appointed a
committee to wait upon Kossuth on his arrival,
with a congratulatory address and an invitation
to attend the Franklin Anniversary dinner of the
Society, which takes place in January.
Kossuth and ms Enemies. —lt is stated that
agents of the Austrian despot are engaged in New
York in the work of endeavoring, by the most
insidious means, to poison the minds of the citi
zens against the illustrious Kossuth, and to in
duce them to believe that the great Magyar is
not only one of the greatest humbugs that ever
existed, but that he is a devil incarnate, devoid
of the feelings of common humanity, cruel and
despotic. The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer says:
“To effect their object, the most infamous
slanders and falsehoods are promulgated in a
quiet way, concerning Kossuth, and such jour
nals as are supposed to be hostile to him, are put in
possession of these falsehoods, from whence they
are issued to the world. In fact, the game play
ed in Marseilles by the notorious attache, is being
repeated here, but I am happy to say, with very
indifferent success.”

Treason Trials. —The Circuit Court met again
this morning at 10 o’clock to proceed with the
trial of Castner Hanaway, indicted for treason.
The Court-room, as heretofore, was densely
crowded, but the utmost decorum prevailed.—
The prisonor, who is a young man of about 35
years, of tall and slim person, displays much self

Schenectady, Nov. 24,1851. —This afternoon,
about 4i o’clock, the gasometer of the Schenec
tady gas works exploded, and seriously, if not
fatally wounded Patrick Donelly. Mr. John
Eaton, superintendent of the works, and a laborer,
were also somewhat injured. Owing to some
leaks in the gasometer, the bonnet was taken off
early in the morning, for the purpose of allowing
the gas to escape, so that they could enter and
paint the inside. The laborers, while Mr. Eaton
was absent, and contrarj to his express and of
ten repeated orders, took a lighted candle and
were lowering it into the gasometer, when it
exploded, blowing it and the brick building erect
ed over it to atons, and throwing the men and
rubbish in every direction. Providentially, Mr.
Eaton had just entered the door of the gas-house,
having been on business in this city, and there
fore escaped with slight injury.
Later from Havana. —We learn by the ar
rival of the brigGulnare, Captain Philips, at this
