It is enough for mo That Heaven hath sent me strength and health, A spirit glad and free. Grateful these blessings to receive, I sing my hymn at mom and eve. On some, what floods of riches flow ! House, herds, and gold have they ; Vet life’s best joys they never know, But fret their hours away. The more they have, they seek increase ; Complaints and craving never cease. A vale of tears this world they call, To me it seems so tar ; It countless pleasures hath tor all, And none denied a share. The little birds on new fledged wing, And insects, revel in the spring. For love of us, hills, woods, and plains In beauteous hues are clad ; % And birds sing far and near sweet strains. Caught up by echoes glad. “Itire,” sings the lark, “your tasks to ply The nightingale aings “lullaby.” And when the golden sun goes forth, And all like gold appears, When bloom o'erspreads the glowing earth, And fields have ripening ears, I think these glories that I see. My kind Creator made for me. Then loud I thank the Lord above, And say in joyful mood, His love, indeed, is Father’s love, He wills to all men good. Then let me ever grateful live, Enjoying all He deigns to give. Tribute to the Memory of Miss Susan Hundley. Far in yonder realms of bliss Thy sainted spirit now doth roain ; Escaped the toils aud cares of earth, Thou there hast found thy “happy home.” Life’s journey ended, ere a cloud Thy morning sky had overcast ; Or the bright glories of thy sun Had paled before the coming blast. Thy rosy dream of life ne'er knew One stormy visit n—all was bright; Nor yet had sorrow’s chilling dew Fallen, thy heart’s young hopes to blight. Thy pictures of the future drew Their brilliant colorings from the past; O'er thy young spirit’s early dream No sombre veil had yet been cast. Now thou art gone—hast lelt this earth Os which thou wast a crowning gem ; But art transplanted in the skies, To grace thy Saviour’s diadem Though beauteous was thy form below, Far brighter are its beauties now : Seraphic loveliness supreme Now clusters round thy radiant brow. The king of terrors unto t hee No pale dismay or grief did bring ; The grave could boast no victory here, Nor could the monster, death, a sting. Thy triends deplore thee, but ’twere wrong To mingle selfishness with grief, And wish thee back to earth again, ‘I hat their crushed hearts might know relief. Then why deplore thee l thou art blest ; And saiely landed in thy home : Then rest thee, happy spirit, rest! Escaped the evil yet to come ! Though here thy bright and joyous face My raptured sight did never greet, May I behold thee where thou art! In heaven, blest spirit, may we meet! S. C. C. Charleston, August 11th, 1853. The Grasshopper Scourge. We have recent! y traversed in various direc tions the County ofChautauque, which, with a good part of the interior of our State, has suffer ed considerably from drought during June and July. Chautauque is a grazing County, and rapidly becoming an extensive producer of But ter and Cheese. Nine-tenths of the soil clear j ed of the primitive forest is already laid down to | Grass and dotted by line herds of Cattle. The | Hay-crop was fair, though shortened by heat i and drought, but it was nearly secured before the j Grasshoppers began to devour all before them, j They took hold of the Wheat before it ripened, | trimmed it ot leaves, and lopped some of the heads, but there was probably some two-thirds of a crop, nevertheless. The Pastures and Meadows they !we since so thoroughly de voured that they show scarcely a speck of green, and many Cattle are all but famishing for food. The Dairy product will be greatly diminished inconsequence. The Oats were next attacked, and have been nearly annihilated. One friend who sowed forty bushels will not harvest twen | ty ; even the straw is nearly shorn of leaves and j often eaten through. The earliest sown were relatively tough and dry when the ’hoppers be gan to ravage in earnest, and for that reason have mainly escaped. Peas enjoyed a like im munity, while Beans are devoured almost to the root. We B saw acres that would not yield a peck. Turnips will be nowhere. One friend has sowed an acre and a half twice, and not one plant was allowed to form the second leaf. Cab bages, and indeed garden vegetables generally, are likewise annihilated ; and when we left on Tuesday the Indian Corn was being charged most ruthlessly. Acres together have been strip ped of their tassels, then of their silk, and final ly eaten through and through the growing ears, so_ that not a third of a third of a crop can be expected. Heavy and cold rains may stay the plague, but the crop is nearly ruined and there will be a great deficiency of Grain throughout the County, as there is already of Feed. Half the growing Stock must be sold off, from sheer ina bility to keep it, though the County is none too well supplied. Potatoes have been trimmed up somewhat, but they are not essentially injured. Even the elders and other shrubs and weeds in the roads are stripped to the bark, and often be low it. The ravage is in good part confined to the up lands; the deep valleys of the streams are near ly free from it; so is the Lake shore. Still, the lossin that County alone must amount to hun dreds of thousands of dollars, while Erie Coun ty, Pa., and some others are equally scourged. - So, we understand, are Jefferson, Lewis and perhaps some other Counties at the North. Will any correspondent tell us what is the cheapest and surest mode of destroying Grasshoppers ? N. Y. Tribune. JttisteUmitoits. Sunshine and Love. —lt is hard telling (says the Knickerbocker ) which of these luxuries does the most good. Sunshine brings on summer, and carries off melancholy, but love stocks us with fresh eggs, young chickens, veal, sighs, and ruffle-bosomed shirts. It is to love that Nature has intrusted tlie charge of future generations, and the peopling of the great Valley of the Mis sissippi. Talk aboutthe power of machinery—all the locomotives ami steamboats in God’s world could not add a single soul to Oregon in a cen tury, if the Lord should stop tbe supply of “bil ling and cooing” for a season. Without tins fertilizing passion, London would become as deserted as Thebes, for virtuous celibacy unpeo ples tt country faster than either war, pestilence, or famine. While other passions concentrate man in himself, love makes him live in another. No one loves who does not prefer somebody to bimselt. When we speak of love, we hope no one will confound it with debauchery, for they are the very antipodes of each other. One be gets fruit, and tlie other does not. Love springs j from the heart, debauchery from our ungodliness. One is tlie offspring of “virtue and gootl health,’’ and the other of vice, and a depraved appetite for novelty and crime. Love makes people moral—debauchery makes : them vile. One stocks the world, and the other j State prisons. The former weakens pride, and ; softens ferocity—the latter is made up of ego ! tism and brutality. Love spreads sunshine and I happiness through the world; debauchery— I darkness, disease, tint! lock hospitals. The lover ; j becomes a parent, a husband, a citizen. In | short, true love converts the base and tbe selfish j into the generous and the good, while its coun- i terfeit converts even manliness and honor into { baseness and corruption. For all of which, we again say, three cheers for the inventor of cour- ; ting! Whoever he may be, he tias done more I towards spreading morality through tlie world than till the preachers that ever were born. Home. I know of no passage in classical literature more j beautiful or affecting than that where Xenophon, 1 in Ins Anabasis, describes the effect produced on ■ tlie remnant of the ten thousand Greeks, when af ter passing i hrough dangers without number, they at length ascended a sacred mountain, and, Ircm its peak and summit caught sightof the sea. Dashing their bucklers, with a hymn of joy they rushed tu multuously forward. Some wept with the fulness of their delirious pleasure, others laughed, and more fell on their knees and blessed that broad ocean Across its blue waters, little floating sea birds, the memorials of their happy homes, came and fanned their weary souls. All the penis they had encoun tered, all the companions they had lost, all the mis eries they h-d endured, were in tin instant forgotten, and nought was with them but the gentle phantoms of past and future joys. One was again scouring ori his fleet steed across the hoof-tredden plains of Thessaly : another reclined beneath the flower crowned rocks of Arcadia, and gazed into the drea my eyes ot her whose form, amid battle and bivouac, was ever with him ; a third recalled that proud day when, before tlie s'reaming eyes of his overjoyed parents, and amid die acclamation of all Greece, he bore off trmn amid competitors the laurel-wreath of the Oiunpian victor. Ob ! home, magical spell, nil powerful fomelhow strong must have been thy influence.

We cannot give the particulars, i for they are too awful for expression—but tbe j simple facts are that an estimable woman was I just recovering from a severe illness, who was j visited, while her friends were absent at church, j by a stranger villain, who, notwithstanding her ! entreaties and prayers, basely dishonored Iter, j and then made his escape.

The Marshall (Texas) Republican publishes a ’ letter from General Rusk, dated Nacogdoches, July 28, 1853, addressed to tiie Hon. W. T. Scott, from which we make the annexed extract. I Gen. Rusk is of opinion that the action of the I legislature of Texas, at tlie next session, will j have a very material effect in determining the j question of the route of the contemplated rail ! road to the Pacific. He says : I believe it will be in the power of tlie Leg ; islature, at tlie next session, to determine the I question of tlie route of the Pacific road. None i oftlie surveys authorized by Congress having ! been ordered south of the 35th degree of north | latitude, it will devolve upon Texas to present j her own route, and its advantages, independent ■ of the aid of General Government, which if ne i cessary, can be better obtained perhaps after the 1 route is selected than before. The friends of i all tlie other routes are active, and it therefore ) becomes absolutely necessary for Texas to be ’ likewise. W e have the best route by far, and a | large amount of vacant land ; and with these advantages it will be our own fault if we lose ! the road. Gen.

Gov. Paine, as you are aware, and as I very much regret, died at Waco. Gfiti. Clarke has some business at Houston or fie would come through your section of the country. He has had a slight attack of fever, which delayed him, or I should have prevailed upon him to come up to Marshall. 1 have received some very satis factory letters from Arkansas, El Paso, San Diego, and other Points, and I entertained but little doubt of being able to bring about the ac tive co-operation of Memphis, Vicksburg, Arkan sas, N. Orleans and California, in favor of our route ; and if so, and Texas stands up to her largest interests, 1 feel sanguine that we shall secure the Pacific Railroad, and its completion at an early day. A Serious Affair,— We regret to state that a serious and probably fatal affray occurred last night between Mr. Hall, one of the editors of the Crescent, and Mr. Haughton, a lawyer of this city, in which the latter was dangerously woun ded. He was lying in a very critical situation at last accounts, but little hopes being enter tained of his recover}’. The cause of the difficulty, we understand, was a paragraph which appeared in the local col umns of the Crescent, yesterday morning, and at which Mr. Haughton took offence. He, Haughton, as we have been informed, accom panied by a friend or friends, visited the Cres cent office last night,and afterascertaining from Mr. Hall that he was responsible for the offen sive paragraph, attacked him with a cane. The parties grappled with each other, when Hall drew a knife and inflicted the wound which is ( likely to prove serious. Affrays of this kind are deeply to be deplo red. One thing is certain, however, that he who visits the domicil of another, and particularly the editorial domicil, for the purpose of commii- t ting an act of petsonal violence, must expect to hold his life by a very slight tenure. This we 1 think is a well settled principle in this region.— ! True Delta, Aug. 28 th. i [TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE. [From the Georgia Telegraph.! ‘. Views of a Union Democrat. Sir : —I regret to discover, that a portion of the Union Democrats are permitting themselves to be deceived by the tricks of the enemy. A Union myself,l have never hesitated before giving my humble support to the Demo cratic candidates, and I am fully convinced that such is the position of all who have a true un derstanding of the political condition of Geor gia. 1 did not become a Whig when I united with the Union organization, and Ido not see why I should support the new party of Mr. Toombs, simply because I defended the Compromise. I ’ was born a Democrat, and a Democrat I in -1 tend to die. When I considered the Union in danger, I abandoned mv party—but in a period of profound peace and quiet when the issues of 1850 are extinct, and our safety in no jeo pardy whatever, nothing shall seduce me into the support of my old Federal antagonists.— The Union party is dead, and I for one, am lift* willing to chain myself to the carcass at the bid ding of the Whigs. Many months ago, Mr. Jenkins publicly proclaimed that the Union or ganization was disbanded, and lie openly rejoi ced at the result. He not only did that, but lie announced himself as good a Whig as ever.— He avowed that he was not democraiicized in the slightest particular, and he advised the Union Democrats to return to their old party organiza tion. I intend to take his advice. I have faith in the Democracy, and no personal feeling shall make me an instrument in tlie hands of Mr. Toombs. Upon what pretext can Uuion Demo crats support Mr. Jenkins ? Not as a member of tlie Union party, for he himself lias declared it disbanded. Not as a Democrat, for he has asserted himself a Whig. Not as a supporter of the present Administration, for liis partisans are denouncing the President. Not as a friend to the people, for lie was the advocate of a law, making one thousand dollars the price of suff rage. Upon what principle, l ask again, are Union Democrats to support him ? Ji'his posi tion differs at ail from that which he occupied in 1844, I have yet to discover it. He is neither a Democrat nor a Union man. The convention which nominated him was not a Uuion Conven tion, anti no sane man supposes that it was Democratic. Mr. Jenkins is a Whig—a bitter, consistent, uncompromising Whig—and as such, I consider it my duty, and the duty of those Democrats who acted with me in 1850, to oppose him to the last. lam told that tlie Union Democrats have been proscribed in tlie division of the offices.-- Sir, this may be a good argument for those who are democrats for the sake of spoils and plunder, but to men who are Democrats from conviction such reasoning conveys an insult. lam not a Democrat because I want office for myself or my friends, but because I believe tlie Democrat ic creed. It would not affect my position if all the offices in the State had been appropriated as alleged. Men may deprive me of political hon ors, but they cannot deprive me of my faith. To that faith, l intend to stand under every contin gency. When I know that Johnson and Col quitt are Democrats to-day. and when I remem ber that they were Democrats long before the issues of 1850 came into existence, I am satis fied. lam more than satisfied when 1 compare them with Mr. Jenkins, wiio has been a bitter U big from my earliest memory, and with James Johnson, who has become a renegade and a Whig for the stike of political emolument. iam not singular in these opinions. They are shared by many Union Democrats, whoso views are worthy of attention. They are the sentiments of Col. Chappell, the President of tlie last Union Convention—of Mr. Chastain, and Mr.lliliyerboth Union Democratic members of Congress, and as I believe, of all Union Dem ocrats who have studied tlie position of parties. To my mind, the path of duty seems very clear. Others may do as they please but I will never sup port the man who declared the Union party no longer necessary, and at the same time denied that he was in any way a convert to Democ racy. “ PULASKI. The Yellow Fever at Natchez. — The Free Trader, of Wednesday last, says: The yellow fever is now prevailing in Natchez as an epidemic, and lias been certainly so since Friday last. On Saturday there were six inter ments ; on Sunday 5 ; Monday 3 and on yes terday 3—equal, in proportion to present pop oulation, to one hundred a day in New Orleans. Tiie disease, however, seems to prove fatal al most entirely among foreignersandotliersun acdimatedjbut chiefly among the former, though several of our oldest citizens have been seized with it Everybody has left town that could, and hut very few are left. Business is at a dead stand. But two dry good stores were open on Main street yesterday ; most of the merchants have sought temporary locations in the country and neighboring villages. A greater panic never occurred before, from a similar cause, among any people. Our streets look desolate, indeed. You may walk for an hour, sometimes, and meet a dozen persons.—- Tiie disease, however, tlie physicians unite in saying, is manageble when prompt measures are taken. Cooper once slurred a certain Governor by attributing the disease in the potatoes to the “mortification” they felt at seeing so small a member of their family in the gubernatorial chair ! Yellow Fever in Vicksburg. —The Vicksburg Whig, of Tuesday last, refers to reports spread throughout the country in relation to the health of that city, and says : It is true that the physicians report cases of yellow fever in our midst, but as yet it has not become prevalent, nor are the cases numerous. The fever is not general enough in its character to pronounce it epidemic,’and we sincerely trust that by proper observance of sanitary regula tions, it will not become so. The Whig adds that it is difficult for those af flicted with the fever, in town, to obtain proper nursing, and suggests that it would be well for those who are willing to nurse the sick, to form themselves into a quasi association, that they may be better able to render service where it is mostly needed. A/t Irishman. —A merchant, who died sud denly, left in his desk a letter written to one of his correspondents. His clerk, a son of Erin, seeing it necessary to send the letter, wrote at the bottom : “Since writing the above, 1 have died.” Chloroform Counteracted.— Dr. Torbert de Lambelle, a distinguished physician of Paris announces that a shock of electricity given to a patient dying from the effects of chloroform, im mediately counteracts its influence, and returns the sufferer to life. The fact is worth knowing if it be a fact. Number 36,
