1 conclude, that that great pliiloteplier kopt up no

In ono part of thit tingulur countiy, are many

breath ol heaven, nor the Hear light of day.
From the peculiar lituation of thit country, tho

In ntoonthlne, nlto ( they tako great delight. Hu«
they rarely look upon the pole-tiat; and when tho
mild rays of the Star of Uoihluhem chance tn pierce
through their mUty bulwnrkt, they ilwnye shut

TH13 MAGNOLIA OR SOUTHERN MONTHLY
By P. C. I’KKDLKTOJi.
The February No. of this Monthly ha* b««n l» ld
on our desk, and It not tho lenst behind It* prede
cessor in interest. Both of tho number* which
hnvo boon Issued possess a rare degree of merit. Wo
arc only surprised that this work does not create a
grenter interotl rimn it does, among our chitons, ol*
I though lhero is umply sufficient, as wn learn,
I encourage th i enterprise, nml to solnroiho feeling*
of the Editor in hi# arduous undertaking: yctitis not
what ho lias n right to expect from a community
like Savannah. Let those who mny doubt of it*
merit examino for thomiclves thn content* of there
two No*, and wo venture there will ho a largo In-
crcn>o of his subscription list.
Tho present number contains a continuation of
he translation of the Gbust-Socr from the Gorman
of Schd or. It D of thrilling power and interest.
Self Ditciplino.—An exceedingly well written
story from the pen of Mrs. Curolino LeeHenU.
It possesses a merit which is beyond tho mere in-
tercst of llio story.
Another loiter to the Editor, from the pen of W.
Gilmore Simms, on the subject of Southern I.itcra*
lure. Wo should bo glud, if opportunity would
allow, to examine more in deiuil tho sulycct mat
ter of those letter*. They certainly should enchain
the uttention of every nno who fools an interest
in n homo literature; bnt more especially or every
Suut orner.
The Knights of tho Golden Horso-Shoe,d:c.—
This is a well written story, and os far ns we aro
little to judge, is n true picture of Virginian charac
ter und manners. The interest of the story as well
that of llio different characters i* fast increasing.
And we predict for the writer no small share of
tho attention of the readers of iho "Magnolia."
Tito poetiy of thD number is nlio generally good.
Among which \vc notice n sonnet from tho Hon.
Richard Henry Wilde. Wotiustthot Mr. Pen
dleton will bo successful in securing frequent con
tributions from Ills classic non. HU follow citi
zens are expecting something from Mrs Wilde, and
we trust that ho will avail himself of this medium
frequently in communicotn with tho public. His
lighter literary labors In thi* matter, would greatly
uhl iho entrrpr!sn Mr. Pendleton hoi in hntidA
nml we hope ho will lay his shoulder to tlio work
wills other noble spirits nf tho land, which tlio
editor Ills succeeded In draw infr out.
r llio v
"itlwuid, und the determination west to remain > led upon to deplore. In nil hi* relations, whether
suspended spread, aim us Ucanic manifest. The
run commenced, and continued with increased in
tensity Up to the second week. On the 13th, ui a
mooting of citixcn* in this place, resolution* were
adopted recommending suspension |>y nil thu Hauk*
in Georgia, which resolution may be teen in iho
public prints. Un thu night of the IJiii. \*» receiv
ed notice from Aogixtn, that lutge demand• fur tpc
cie, or net thorn otelcingo, w ould probably be made
on u« tho next day. They weic imulr, as on* anti
ripated. Un Tuesday evening, the Director* then
in A'hens met, and acting on their own convicti.ms
n» well a# on their known opinions of absent mem
bers, then consider ing that in the existing stale of
excitement, if woroiithitied t» pay specie. t*e must
soon part with a large part of our supply, the eons*
quenceof which would have been heavy and unnece*
ing demand* on our debtor* for reduction on their
notes, determined to suspend specie pay munt* lor
the present.
Tha propriety of this determination will be the
better appreciated, when it i* known that in two
weeks from the Itt inst., this Bankwnd it* Hrm-ch
at Augusta supplied rite public with between 136
and two hundred thousand doll-ir* of specie tiiml*:
—ami ihat we still have a supply of over $100,000
in specie, lo enable u* to resume, as toonut another*
crop th*II enable our debtor* to fulfil their engage
menu with us.
It is thought proper to add, that if, in tills move
merit, we had pursued the usual emit re, wo would
have continued to pay out out coin, anil have pro
eroded In collect, with tho lea*t possible delvy tie
debts due us hy tho people. IIm> llmrU'oct uf rueh

when war wa* declared against Great Britain—iho

luicnl horison w-nt darkened o’er with portentous
cloud*—Judge ILihour w as el»cted a member of
the Legislature efVirginia from Lis native aunty
of Orange, llo served his constituents at thi* imp

sustaining the interest, tiie honor, and the glory

elected a member of the House of Uepresentativet
ot the United Suit-*, and servt'd from that time,
wiihout intermisriou, arul with the entire npprobn

ho wa* elected by tbo Legislature of Virginia, a
Judge of the Gcneiul (Joint of that State; the dunes
of which station hw discharged with groat ability
and to the satiifVcthmofalJ patties interested.

I huvo attempted, Mr. Speaker, lu give a brief
epitome oflho public siutiou* voluntarily bestowed
upon Philip I’. Barbour hy hiscotimiynicn. 1 say
voluntarily,because he wn-tono of those hiehinimlcd
ami honorable men who never sought office. Hi*
high nml commanding talents nml virtues mudo
him ono of Virginia'# must distinguished s-m*. Iu
the discharge of ull the high duties dovolwd u on
him, hi* course wn* mmked with great nhiliiy; und,
above nil, hi* motive# of net ion core never suspect

nn i-iiemy on earth, ho .li.l not know it. N'» ninn
stood higher than Judge Huibout for hi* purity uf

lungmigo can describe them. Ho was n kind, ten
tier, nnd affectionate hushuml, father, and friend,
nnd a humane master.
I can only say, in conclusion, that hi* iu Iden
death adiiiuni-liasus all uf the snered volume,which
declares "that iu the midst of life vvenro in dentil.'
I nimo you, Mr. Speuker, that tho Ilouro adopt
the following resolution:
Rssolced, That the House have learned with
deep sensibility tho dcrearo of tho Hon Philip P.
Barbour, for many year* a member, and Into
Spoakernftho Ilnuso of Representative* of the
'.'nited State*, and at tho timo of his death un ns
seriate Justice oflho Supremo Court of tho United
Smtes, which melancholy event look place sudden
ly in the city of Wathingtun on the 34th of Febru
nsy, instant; and that, os u remark of tho respect
entertained for tho memory of tlio deceased, thi*
Ilotiso will adjonrn ut 2 o'clock this day, for the
purpose of attending the funeral of tho deceased,
nnd will at -1 o'clock of thesnmndny reassemble in
the hull of the House for the dospntch of tho pub
lie bu-im-si.
Mr. Wise, after cntdially uniting in the senti
ment* just uttered, expressed Id* regret thni Mr.
Bunks had not consulted with hW cullcnguat before
ho offered his resolution. With all duo respect,
Mr. Wisn said lie rould not vote f, r it, for llio rea
son that a mightier man lliuii Judgo Barbour had
fallen, and whose death was not even nii’ ounced to
the House. He meant the illustrious father of the
judiciary, John Marshall. Ho would ask Ids col
longue to withdraw the resolution, und nol compel
him to vote against it.
Mr. Bank* »aid it so happened thut, at the time
Judge Marshall,died, Congress wu# not in session,
nor wa# the Supreme Court in #ci#ion; bo#idc#, the
event took place iu uunilici city. The Supreme
Court wn* now in torsion, nnd the Scnato had
mloptcil 0 similar resolution unanimously. Mr.
B. paid n high complin cut to tho talents ’and vir
tuos of Chief Justice Matslmll, nnd snid lltcro was
no man to whose memory ho would more cheerful
ly pay a tribute of respect. Mr. B. remarked that
when tbe death of the Hoc. Wm Wirt wnsunnontic
ed to this body, ulthough ho was at that time n pri
vote citisen, thn lleuno, on motion of the venerable
gentleman from Ma«sachuiett«, (Mr. Adorns,) uJ
journrd. Mr. 11. stated that ho had consulted with
several of hi* collec'.e*, but having just receive*
tho communication from tie Chief Justice, ii had
not been in his power to consult with Mr. Wise.
He hoped this explanation would l»o satisfactory.
Tho resolution was then nluptcd.
