from which the grout body of the newspaper pre-’s
enisnatesand is nourished; the party whoso pom

ents, eloquence and patriotism, have gone atirond
into many tun «, thus mumble liefiuv a simple move
ment of popular common sense? It were well for
tlra Whig* to consider it. There is no singe effect,
no glittering mysteiy, nolmpulsoofbliiidiug passion,
no resistless ti'lu ol personal pupil I iriiyngaiu-t thum
—they are in liiut beaten in spite ofall there things
in their favor, they are swept uway by the clear,
direct, culm progress of a lew radiml situ, lu polin-
cal principles. They huvo opposed inces»nnt denun
ciation, perversion tunl hubbub, but in vain; truth
liko the sharp voice of the mountaineer, Ims pierced

of intrigue and trick, and preiension uml noise, they

tha decline. For lira last six or seven weeks there
has been a most withering and parching drought,
which, together with the rust and ivvseev*. hu* cut
the cotton crop at least otra-third short in this and
the adjoining districts. Tlra corn crop, to tav the
most of it, will not exceed tho ordinary average
supply. The true state of fact*, as to the present
prospect of lira cotton crop, should Ira made known

lo counteract the effects which former report* may

cohdiwted with ability—many of tlram with con
summate vigor.
Ai-oiher mnrkeil contrast between tlw English
and Am-rienn jmininls, is the style of tlte editorials.
Tho Anrariciins nro iiiraoinmoiily preira to rhectu-
tieiil llourislras, jH>lii*)i«-<I |nt'unIs, out-hursts of fun-
cy, and I'nvjirant spodnraos of wliut is termed line
writing. Tlra Englndi ore particularly sedulous in
avoiding nil this. They rniely indulge Ih ortm-
meats, trope* uud figures—never itt gntwrol declu-
inatiiin. uud other ad captanilntu devices. T hey
npiranl to tlra common sen*e and to lira passions, if
von will, hut seldom, if ever, do tlray seek to mis
lead the judgment by captivuting tlra fancy. Wo
do not recollect having ever witnessed Ili an •Eng
lish paper, any article resembling some of tlraso
wordy uud windy lucubrations, of which tho staple
material is runt, that nre so fmi|ucntly to bo met
with in A'neriruti journals. The English press is
rcmaikahle for tho simplicity of its style—even ex
pression* tlw most hackneyed, absolute vulgarisms
ure omployml by them; every grace of writing
strains sacrificed to absolute jranpicuity; their Inn.
eungo. while nervous nnd forcible, is divested uf
even the slightest exuberance tliut is nut indispen-
hie fur the preservation of the sense.
Tho Anrartcuu press ha* been cunsidored partic
ularly nlmsive. Tho foe* to popular governments
and repiihlicnn Institutions, hn ve iiistanecd thu vi
tuperative character iff our political journals us evi
dence of tho unbridled license into whii li liberty
has degenerated. There is no doubt that Mir press
is altogether too personal; too much dispos- d to
unconditional invective; too indiscriminate iii its
attacks mi individuals Hence its usefulness ns n
means of li'ilding up the guilty, to censure and op
probrium, Ims been materially abridged. When
praise and blame become i qunlly iavisli nnd incon
siderate, distrust is the speedy and nntuml consi-
queuce. The unra.trictcd liirarty of the press in
this country Inn in this manner proved a correctvo
ofitsuf; for its freedom from eoitsorship, while
it giv. s it alnT'Tgt entire unanimity iu its a.imilts
upon tho character uud principles of individ'inls,
neutralizes its malign iiiilu-nco, by disseminating a
general want of confidence in its loose and reckless
assertion*. Theso observations are, ofcouise, trat
without exceptions; hut as n genurul ruie, we me
persuuded this will bo found just.
But liuwevor few and fooblo thu restraints upon
tlra press in America, nud however bold nnd indis
criminate may Ira its nttneks upon persons, we aro
fully of opini -n that -the journals of England are far
beyond us in the art of vituperation. The minis
terial nnd opposition papers in London might well
instruct us in it point itt which they nre far more
perfect timn ourselves. Tlra variety of ubusive
terms which tlray hurl nut only at each other, hut
at tlra loading politicians in th- kingdom is incon
ceivable: "scoundrels," "liars,” clients," “knaves,"
" perjured villinns," and tho like, aro fair snmples
of tlw luxuriance of imective in which they indulge.
The |raor* and potentates of Great Britain ore the
pritie pal objects of attack undr oynlty itself esenpes
not unscathed. The simplicity of style which
marks their compositions gives them opportunities
of indulging in tho coarsest personalities. No
courtly trope ur delicate allegory half conceals while
it discloses the keen sarcasm and bitina retort. In
linked virulence uflitugunge do they fearlessly scut-
tor the filthy garbage of tlrair t nncor. Reprehensi
ble as is tlra tone of the American press, ii is more
seemly nnd dignified tliuu thu: of otir.trattsuilnnlic
iiuigldmis.
With all tlra tnct nnd iutellectnnl resources dis
play d by tlra English press, tli-rc is of less mci-
ness, freshness and originality than are commonly
encountered iu this country. Nino tenths of the
Rritish journalists appear by tlrair wri ings to he
Idickncycd pirtiznn*. There is u 8|»ociox of me
chanical labor in tlrair composition which impres
ses itself disngivenh'y upon thu mind. Tho lead
ing editorial tunny wonts tho nspurl of the sponta
neous product tff observation nnd rellectiou. It
lias mure frequently an artilici d clinnictcr. ns \f "
weie cnncocled by a mind which liiul been drilled
and disciplined to tlra mechanical act of writing an
article every tiny. It looks like a regular ba*hw»*
transaction. T lie editor receives a certain conipen-
sa ion, which is tlehited by n per contra of copy.
One mode of accounting for this peculiarity is tlte
exclusively political clinmcier of most of the public
j'ttmuiU. The editorial* treat tff nothing hut poli
tics, and uf coiirsu, discus* such subject* entirely
in a spirit <ff puny. A man who giras to work with
dogged perseverance to indite political disquisitions
six days in the week, enn scarcely fail to give to hi*
composition* th • form nnd impress we have noted.
A few of tlra lending papers in this country aro ra
pidly subjecting themselves to similur cr ricisni, bv
pursuing a course which wo ctuisidur unwise and
unnecessary.—iV. O. Bee.

Line of Packets between Charleston and Li'
vrpool.—Wo perceive with gratification nml
pride, from nn advertisement in our columns, this
morning, that a I no of packet ships, owned in Char
leston, to run monthly between Charleston nnd Li
verpool, is to be set in openition on the first of Fe
bruary next—so tlint ■ n the first of every month,
tlior- will ho n departure from Charleston for Liver
pool, ami on lira 15lli of every mouth n departure*
from Liverpool fov Charleston—thu* transmitting
intelligence with the regularity of tho nmil, nml mer
chandize ami produce witli that certainty and dis
patch which are essential lo the life nud prn*|>erity
of trade. This is thu most important step yet taken
in tho South for the establishment of a direct trade
with Europe; it will constitntcA[u new era inourenm-
mt-n-ial relations; nnd is, we trust, hut the begin
ning of a system, which, when more* widely extend
ed, will place Clinrloston on n fooling of more ad
vantageous competition with the emporiums of tho
North. All that it needs to onsaro success is that
it should receive a liberal support nnd encourage
ment from our direct importers, nnd this, we trust,
will bo freely extended in n truly mercantile and
patrintic spirit. The ships to compose this line are
the Chieora, and tho Thomas Bennett, both built
it this port, lira Liverpool, uml the Medora, May
tlray huvo rich freights and be wufted hy auspicious
breezes 'cross the broad Atlnntic! Tho merchants,

was covered with n white frost, tho first tff any con-
sequence that we have had this full.
The unprecedented drought under which this S''C-
turn of tlra country labored during the Inst 12 or 15
mouths, still continues, without the least appear-
auve of rain. Tho water courses and springs nre,
in many instances, entirely dried up; and those

THE SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
The above named periodical Ims fnvoured us with
an Octolier visit. " Seclusnval" occupies a distia.
guislied place, and deserves it, A paper on " Do
mestic Slavery" by Judge Upshur, is timely and
well written. "TheSilent Tear," hy the Milford
Bard, is a gum, and "The Whippoorwill" is really
poetry.
