The Senate is still in session and will probubly be

their respective offices,but mnny nre in contempla

Mr. Clay distinctly announced to the Senate that

IRVING’S GOLDSMITH.
The Family Library—Nat. 121-122.
We have been prevented by the exacting claim*
on our column* from noticing at length the bijou of
a volume with which the attention of Mr. l’urse
supplied us.
It is not for a splendid binding, (which though
not splendid, is as neat a* the enterprising Harpers
can make It,) but fur thu rich and natural beauties
which pervade it* pages, that we designate Irving’"
Goldsmith as a bijou.
The American Enchanter has freely used his ma.
gic wand to charm u* with the simple and faithful
sketches of noture for which tho son of Erin is so
famous.
Goldsmith wooed thsmuse Inthequietratirameot
of the dtterled village, where be could breathe that
freedom, a
- transitory flower, alike undone
By proud couteuipt or favor's fost’iing sun.”
Irving has wiih that sympathy for a corgenial
mind, which, e» he justly ronrorka, is but a trans
cript of the heart of the poet, culled tha must min.
ute particular* of Goldsmith’* history, principally
from Prior’* life, which "labor of love" he offer* as
tribute to tho memory of him, whose writings
were the delight of his childhood, and have beon a
source of vnjoyment to him through life. And who,
possessing tho least taste for reading will not ac
knowledge that he has derived the tame plensuio
from Intercourse with the poet, whose hand was
ever-open to relievo the distressed and whose melt
ing charity wo* na tlw dew, mni-u-ninj and invigo
rating lire lonely flower of the desert, and a* the
agent of divine mercy satisfying tho desolate in the
wiltlcmosfl of a cold nnd calculating world
Mcny of our renders will rcmcmlier the indiffurer.ee
to self aggrandisement which marked tlie character
of the bard of Auburn, whoso frinndship the learned
Johnson loved lochnrish, the irritnble system of the
ginnl of literature gladly yielding to iho mild speci
fics which the sterling qualities uf the bard’s uflec-
tions administered.
When Ills admired poom of "the Traveller" in
troduced him to tho Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, to
the offer of kindness on the part of the noble Dukes
the affectionate poet replied lint bn "bad a brother
there, n clergyman, that stood in need of help."
His biographer dims him nmplo ju-iice fur that
wnrmtb uf heart which dictated (bis characteristic
reply.
Who can rend hit published letter* to in’* brother
without oslimating lint simple and unosientnihiu*
chainctor of his mind, tho deep and abiding uffec
lions which portray the amiablu infficncu uf hi*
bean.
Tho honors with which he was complimented he
ap'ly compares to raOl-s besiowcd oil one who
wants the garmrnt fur which they nre intended,
wliilu ha regret* they are not more substantial,
llint his ready hand might relievo the necessities
of his destitute relations.
Goldsmith, by experienre, found that to court the
muses be should starve, while lie could by hi* othe*
literary labors eat, drink, hnvo pond clothe*, nnd
enjoy even some of the luxuries of life. Hi* prose
Was better paid for thun hi* poetry, and olthou-h
conscious of this truth he fivored thn admirers of
the muses with the Deierhd Village, fur which
tha bookseller gave him a note fur one hundred
guinea*. Goldsmith in the siihpliclly uf Ids heart,
thought it mure than tho honest man could nflnrd,
or the pieco was worth, nnd wn* nut easy until lie
returned it mid left it to the mon of books to gra
duate ilia payment according to its success. It I*
hnrdly necess ,ry to say that hewn* repaid in full,
with thank* for bis disinterested conduct.
Another fine trait in Ids character i* that he do
dined to prostitute Id* genius at the shrine of par
ty, but whl) Irish independence Spinned the wages
of ma political hireling.
We i-onnoi ciiree this hurried and crude nnliro of
Irving’s contribution to the present gonerntinn.
without citing tin* simile of Guidsmiih fiom tha life
of the poet Purnell.
"A piiet, while living, is seldom an object snffi'
cientiy great to nitraci much attention; Ids real mer
its nre known but to a few. nnd these are general y
sparing in their praises. When his fame i* increased
by time, it i* then too l*te to investigate the preu.
I in (ties of Id* disposition; the dtmoflhe morning
are patt, and tee vainly hy to continue the ckate
by the meridian eplendour."
How poetical and yet bow into. We will endea
vor to recur to these precious volumes.

when they reflect upon the fete of Jnme-G. Dro-dre.
Among the many here who nnce professed the most

LATE FROM AUGUSTA AND COLUMBUS
Great Fftthet, and Suipention of Dankt.
We leurn from a passenger nrrived last tvrnlng
in the steamer Lamar, Captain Croaker, which
boat left Aogu-ta at nine o'clock on Sunday
morning, that tho water in tho river was there
within four feet of the great freshet in Mny Inst,
which almost inundated Augusta und submerged
Hamburg. It whs over the bunks at Hamburg, end
hndcovered the Charleston and Hamburg Railroad,
culling uf all communi'ution ut Attguilu with
Charleston since Ttrursdoy Inst. The extent of dum-
age to the road was not known.
Out informant who readied Augusts hy the way of
Columbus, stares tho storm met the stngo inwhlch

with the flm down iltccurient, nnd tho flat upset,und
a colored man, a horse, tlie singe, mails, nnd baggage

Washington, wus lit llm flut, and with unnther pnr
sun lodged on an island in the Ocmulgee, where
they hod to remain all night exposed tn the flirod,
which nt morning had rnvorerl the island; they
snved themselves, it is snid, hy climbing trees.
This ferry i« about soven mile* from Munticello.
On reaching Mnnlicello our infermnnt remained
there two days, when he started for Madison. All
thn bridges over the small streams between these
two places wore carried away.
They'at length reached Madison, nnd on the
route from Madison to Augusta, their progress was
impeded In one or two instances, by damngo to the
roud by the rains, which caused more or leu de
lay.
Tho stenmer camn from Augusta on tho height
probably of the freshet, which being over the
bunks caused nil the skill ofCupt. C. to avoid the
danger* uf the passage.
We letrnal-o from our informant that it was said
nt Columbus thut the Banks there had suspended,
and at Augusta he learned that some of tha Banks
there had likewise suspended. Thi* rumor, though
it may be true, should be received with grains or
allowenco.
Since the abovo wn* In lyp n , learn from Gen.

ty, thu river having been greatly swollen hy tho
ml. The mail stage from din east with four pa-
singers, among w hom was the Hon. Hines Holt on
his war home frnm Washington, was waiting for tlie
flit, and in attempting tn puss in the same flat was
tarried river the full. Mr. H. and ono u her of tire
passenger-jumped nut of the stage und swam for an
island, which they fortunntely readied. They were
exposed during tho night to the inclemency of die
weather, the water rising to such u degrau dint
they were compelled to climb a tree for snfuty; tint
rain continuing to fall all night accompanied with
thundot and lightning. The flat passed down the
rivet with the stngo nnd horarx, a short distance,
when it struck a snag and wu* capsized. One

remaining h inds and passengers reached tho shore
in safny.
From die Ocmulgee to Madison, we loam that
all tiro bridges and several uf tlie mill* were enrri-
•d nwny. From MnilLon to Augusta, the G -orgiu
Rail Road bud received n good deal of damage.—
Within 12 miles from die fm mer place the hank* of
the cut gave way, and covered die rails fur some dis
tance. burying one of the Locomotive* on it* way
op. When our Informant left, they were engaged
in clearing the road, aryl it was supposed that apar 1
of it would be ready for u»e in a day or two—from
thence widiin 20 mile* of Augusta thu roud wn* not
injured. From tho latter distance some of die road
had sustained some injury foe six miles in different
places,so thatthecars could not run. The road would
probably be in repair for travel In die course <Jf a
lew days. From thi* point to tho depot the road
had auitained no injury. The water at Augusta
was not so high hy several feet as it was imho
freshet in May la»t. At Hamburg we lenm con
siderable damsgn was sustained nnd the rail road
much injured—to what extent we are not able to
learn.
We also learn that in the upper part of Augusta
iho streets were under water. Many boats and

Muiiin nf ike other Department, wns one of thu
liest officers of iheGovrrnirient. They Intend using
tha carving knife savagely,and it is understood that

Mr.Chy, a day or two ago. told ono of lha Senators,

manner for I lie Havana Consulship. Your delega

unfortunately 'he place is considered n lucrative one*
und there are applicant* for it from nearly every

would hardly he reasonable lo suppose that your

The Sonnte sat to-day fur arvorul hours, in di*.

the Federal party concluded the other night in

of their allies in thi* city, u Mr. Dyer, an old gentle-
engaged in tire auction and commission busl-
ne»s. Tim wu*te of public lime nod money causvd
by ihi* proceeding, wm* forcibly illustrated hy Mr>
Buchanan, of I’onnsylvnuia, who was followed hy
Mr. King, of Alabama, in u few romttrks, showing
this us a commencement of Whig reform. Mr. Cluy
or Kentucky, answered these objections hy stating
that hisintention of calling anextra session had been
promulgated ut Richmond hy Gen. Harriton, und
that it would in all human probability, be held on
or about lire 1st of Juno. Mr. Sevier replied to
Mr. Clay, and asked what had become of tlmt gen-
t'nman'* economical notion*, ns ho and his friend*
hnd, in thu lute effort lo teduco lire sulorfek of offi
cues, Ireen invariably opposed hy thn gentleman
from Kentucky, ns limy were likely to he in this in-
stance. Tho votn wa* then taken and resulted in
tho choice uf tire Whig rnucu* man, Mr. Dyer, hy
a strict party vote, 20 lo id.
The next move wns msdo by Mr. Mangum, of
N. C. tu test tire election of Bluir Sc Rives na
printers of the House, ns though it had hot taken
place. On this, a long debate ensued of n very in
teresting character, in which Mussr-. Buchanan
