Character of lion Miguel —“ There arc no terms in our language, i believe, which can adequately describe the compound enormities of baseness, perfidy and villainy in so young a man. Before the ago of 26 he had attempt ed, or perpetr.ted every vice which histoiicnl truth and poetical fiction have accumulated upon the head of the most sanguinary and re morseless that ever waded through the blood of innocent kindred, and betrayed friends, to the British throne. The parallel may per haps not end here ; a Portugal, like England may have a Bosworth Field. For one, I should not be sorry to see it. It would be somethingat least for the honor of high line, age and royal blood, if like our Richard, Don Miguel should thus bo permitted to veil the infamy ofhis life by the courage which mark ed its close, arid that it should not be said of him on the page of his'orv as it was the other night by a noble lord, that he was cowardly because he was ciuel. I. t him not descend to posterity .blacker than Richard, and then, G'od knows he will be black enough.” —lhur kiigori't Speeches, vol. Hi. p. 505.

At Naples, Prince Casaro (.Minister of For eign Relations) and his family, visted our ship. Indeed, the ship is crowded with visit ors from morning until evening, of all classes, from the prince to the private soldier—never was such intense curiosity before—people travel 50 and 00 miles to visit her. At Spez zia, officers of the court of Medina visited us. Our ships have, for years past, been limited in their cruizes to too few ports to be known ad vantageously as a naval power. Our ships should every where be seen, ns they arc so greatly admired.

W e have been considerably surprised at the appearance of an article in the columns cf the federal l nicii, entitled, ‘'assassination legalised.” M e eouhl scarcely believe it to he Editorial, know ing as we do, the regard of its Editors for courtesy and decorum—until we recollected the tenacity w ith which counsel adhere to precon ceived opinions. Even now, we are puzzled, to perceive the object with which the piece was published. As information it is gratuitous, un called fer, and erroneous. The evidence upon the trial referred to, was certainly committed to pa per, and we understand will be given to the pub lic, —and it the Editor of the Federal Union was disposed to forettali its appearance, he might have given rather more explicitly, its result. He says, that “no evidence was adduced on the trial lo prove that it was Camp’s intention to shoot Gol. Miiton.” Now we have been informed precisely the reverse. We think, it was proven on the trial, Camp way-laid Gol. Milton, on liis way to the Post Office ; that he also made an at tempt on his life, by drawing a pistol when Col. Milton turned his back upon him, to go away Ami if the Editor is so very conversant with the facts in the case, we would ask him, if the story that Camp employed & hired bravo to assassinate Col. Milton, is true or false. There is one state ment of the Federal Union however, that we do not understand—The Edltorsays,“// was proved by the testimony of Cbipley, one of tha intimate j friends ol Col. Camp” and then a few lines be- Jow goes on to say, “several of the intimate frien4s of Col. Camp were ready te bear testimony to the same effect; but their evidence was repelled by the Court. Vi e certainly think there must be some mistake here. Be that as it may, it is a matter with which the press Iras nothing to do. The latter part of the article wears very much the appearance of a brief of the heads of the argu ment, to he addressed to the Jury, until he makes the ciiarge of partiality directly to the Court and Jury. How the Jury could lie a partial one, w e should like to see made manifest. They were selected not by the Sheriff, as is usual . but by tw o persons appointed by the Court, and to ensure-impartiality, one was a Clark man, and tha other a Troup man. With respect ,to the charge of partiality alleged against the Court, we believe that the community see too well the real motive ot the attack, to make it necessary to say a word in relation to the matter. If this at trucious libel, (for libel it certainly is, and as the federal Union deals in significant epithets we may he permitted the use of one at least) was in tended for party effect, it will fail most egregious ly, fur who would countenance a party that would resort to such means to sustain it, Fito’ Wilson Lumpkin himself is at the head of it? k .11 J’lil r I Vi. r „ . Ourcolumns to-day contain a proposition by Rr. Jto'jt. C. Rrown, of Scottsborough, to publish a Literary Journal devoted to the cause ol Learn ing and Education. A Journal of this kind is very much wanted in our country. It is a great relief to turn from the stern conflict of opinion in the polilica l arena, to the humble but more peace ful walks of Literature; to shut out from the weary mind the boisterous clashing of contending • partitsand dwell with a calm contentment on the classic page ; toJeaye the angry strife, the em bittering discussions,apd the unquiet longings of political ambition, to - sequester, ourselves from tile fierce onslaught of partizitn warfare, and seek for a time, rest, and gratification, in the undis turbed bow ers of Learning. Education is a sub ject of vast importance, and a journal devoted to its interest, though its precepts may be less at tended to amid the din of parties is certainly not less useful, than the lofty tone of the proudest political paper in the country. A periodical of such a character is calculated to do much good, it carries information to a very man’s fireside, and exhibits the arcana of Literature and Science in their most winning colors around the domestic hearth. Those who would pause at the appalling labor of investigating the folio pages of philoso phy, would there find the task rendered compara tively easy, and the path to the acquisition of knowledge shorn of half its difficulty. A design cf such real moment to. every man in society, should not be.rendercd abortive for the want of proper patronage, and we therefore commend the prospectus of the Academician to' the attentive perusal of our readers. [For the Times.} LETTER 2nd, To iiis Excellency VI ilson Litmjxßiii. The questions which 1 had the honor to pro pound to your Excellency in my former letter, have doubtless received your Excellency’s atten tion, and that promptness of disposition which your Excellency has always manifested, to cor rect the misrepresentation of your Excellency’s views and opinions, has doubtless urged your Excellency to lay tlieir answers before the peo ple. Your Excellency is unquestionably aware, that your opinions on national politics, are of vastweight with the people of Georgia tor their cotissiteuey, inflexibility, and soundness ; and tbe rectitude of your Excellency's course has been of so palpable a nature, as to challenge tho, admiration of your Excelleney’sencmies.and the w onder of your Excellency’s friends. With an accurate knowledge of the premises, therefore, your Excellency is no doubt ready, with your Excellency's characteristic candor to reconcile tho slight and seeming contradiction* in your Excellency's political life' With the intention of affording your Excellency the gratifying task of unravelling the tangled web that seems to en fold some of your Excellency’s late conduct, and dispel the mystery that lias long shadowed a portion of your Excellency's actions, I am in duced to submit lor your Excellency's consid eration, a few at""’questions, to evade which, I I know, that year Excellency will (with a just Ilian's aWioircncc fcf dnptW'f ) refuse m rwsep i to the degradation of subterfuge. In pursuing this catechism, I am aware of the moral sublimity of your Excellency's position before the people of Georgia ; and I am duly impressed with the pro per sensations of awe and respect, which such a spectacle is calculated to inspire. With a cor rect knowledge of the generosity and importance of the task I have undertaken, to enable a great man “strugglisg with the storms of Fate” to re lieve himself from the petty embarrassments that beset his path ; I am induced to ask vour Excel- j leney’s patient attention to my project, as well as your Excellency’s aid in the investigation and settlement of the contradictory nature of the con- j duet that lias l»een imputed to- your Excellency First, then I would ask ot'your Excellency,-If, at the time the correspondence was about to appear that had passed between Gen. Jackson, John C. Calhoun and others, you did not with a generous indignation denounce the transactions which gave rise to it, as the foulest conspiracy that had taken place in the American annals, to prostate a /vit riolic oral talented man your friend, Mr. Calhoun. I fee! I w ould be doing injustice to vour Excel- j lency’s ingenuous frankness, to ask if those were, your Excellency’s candid opinions on that mat 1 ter, at that time ; and I have no doubt your Ex- i rellency would not hesitate a moment lu unswe, ! the enquiry in the affirmative. Secondly, 1 would ask of your Excellency, if it is not true, that pftei the part you had taken, j and the opinions you had expressed in relation to that correspondence, that ycur Excellency ; w aited on the President, previous to vour depar ture fn m Washington, and ii a whining syco phantic manner told him, that you were liis firm and fast friend, and did yen not, to a few individ uals, alter your return home, make spurt of Jack son and his Kitchen Cabinet? Your Excellency doubtless can assign a com petent reason for your Excellency’s sudden change of opinion, and I would suggest to your Excellency the propriety of promulgating it, lest the envious and malicious might assign a nother motive than the true one. Your Excel lency might he subjected to the charge of double dealing, and attempting to curry favor with .he President ; A charge 1 ain persuaded, from which your Excellency is as free, as your Ex cellency is from the odium of using solicitation! and entreaty, to induce the Missionaries to accept ! a pardon. Your Exellcncy will see the importance,(much better than I can pourtray it) ofelearingup these minor difficulties, and explaining a course of conduct that is riot very well calculated to ele vate your Excellency’s character, as an honorable man, but on the contrary, has a tendency to jeop ardize the reputation for honesty of action w hich even a private man would be anxious to acquiie. I should think (and perhaps 1 would have with me, the unbiassed opinion of every man whore sides in the State over which ycur Executive truncheon is swayed, with a dignity and efficien cy peculiar only to yourself,) that a character ‘or dissimulation, hypocrisy, and low cunning, would ho unworthy the ambition ofa man, iu the bumbler ranks of society, and one that would lie indignantly repudiated with the stern acceiilsof an lionestanger. Blit your Excellency may have discovered, that it is a necessary acquirement tor the Governor of a State; and if s», will doubt less bamoved by considerations of public utility, te make the discovery known, for the benefit of those who may ba called on to succeed your Ex. celleney in tbe arduous Superintendence of a Mighty Workshop.

The colonel made to him a speech, stating that by liis own treaty, -neither lie nor his people could lor the future head a hand ; and that by a treaty Keokuck was placed head of the .Sac nation, Arc. Keo. kock spoke awhile to the Hawk, then ad dressed the council, begged. nothing might be remembered of what the Hawk ban said ;' that he was too old to say any thing good,and that he was answerable for.his good beha viour. The (>oor old chief recalled Ins words, and I do not know that my sympathies were ever more excited than in witnessing his expiring struggle for freedom. Nothing but his advanced age, and want of military power, will prevent him from making anoth er effort. In the sequel, Keokuck’s baud gave us a splendid dance; but the Hawk’s party were either too dejected or too sullen to participate in the festivities.

On the other hand, it gives an ehse nnd polish to men of sense and learning* which nothing else can supply ; a judicious mix ture of those refined manners in w hich our neighbors excel, adds a grace and a bril iaucy to every solid u'-compltahmeut. The theatrical conqmny at Lowell (Mass.) untlcr the management of Ms« Barfett, have been arrest) tl, and were to undcigo an exam ination at the Police court, in that town, tea peeling which we copy an extract from (he eorespomlence of the Boston Transcript: “ All the legal talent of the bar will be hroCght out on the occasion; rnd a trial for murder Could hardly excite more interest or make more talk. One of the lawyers, and I believe there are ftihe retained by the accused, tells me he intend* to bother the witnesses,by making them sweat, “»/ they dare, “that the prisoners at the bar are the same persons they saw on the stags. He thinks it will puzzle them to prove Andrews’ identity ; but he is afraid of Rarrett’s long legs — there is nobody in Lowell that lias such another psir. There is no guessing how the affair will termin ate. Public feeling is greatly excited. We arc divided into theatre goera and anti-theatre goers. & scold and sputter at each other like wild cals.” What is civilization hut an increase of human disparities? The more the luxu ry of the few, the more startling tbe wants and the more galling the sense of poverty. Even the dreams of the philanthropist on ly tend towards equality ; and wnere is equality to he found but in the state of the savage ? - NOTICE* f|MIK Small Hi its of the current Ranks of this I State will be received at this office, for tick ets to any amount. flv order of the Commissioners.

The Editor is of opinion that Philosophical Education as it is generally conducted iu our Universities and Academies, is toomudh eonfinsd to the communication of knowledge, and that ion little attention is bestowed . n the formation of the intellectual habits, of judging, iea'aoning, and communication, by which alone, the proseeutraa of science, after leaving School or College, and the business of active life, can ho successfully pursued. It is therefore, his design, lo condscl this work in reference to the analysis of the ha man mind, and to endeavor (o forward the gfaad object of fitting our son's and daughters for practi cal-Lire. There being no work of th* kind in th* South ern country, it is taken for granted, that no oao w ill question the propriety of endiravoWing to establish an organ of so mufb needed : W« adopt the sentiments of uo (tarty, wo are pledged to no society, nor is it oar wish to dictate as te any inode or course to b* pursued in general, sr particular instruction, Oor aim shall be,-to open the avenues of ihoi.gUtun this important subject, and by our efforts, endeavor lo blete th* country of our adoption; the land of our children; the home that we lote ! At a time when manual labor school*, and other respectable institution? are rising around us, it is reasonable to expect, that some mode of communication, with regard to the success or failnre of any attempts, is very deetrablo.... Teachers need a periodical Wherein they* mar exprese their views, and from which they may learn the views of others, and gether encourage ment and guidance in the arduous task of instruc tion ; it is our design to collect information from every source and make .our paper an argan of corenrtm(cation between distant teachers and tbo friends of Education jin general. Perhaps at no period of our history could there be a greater calk foreerrect vinvrs on school-book* and apparatus; necessary to facilitate the progress of the pupil: Wo will, therefore, endeavor to sapply oar columns with respoctthle view* of manuals and information with regard to all tbs machinery of Education. That our paper may interest every thinking man, and be ah inmate of tbe family circle: il will embrace Agricultural, and Me chanical essays: Polite Literature: Essays on Moral and Physical Science ; Biography, Origi nal, and Selected Poetry ; and Stricture* on Uto best modes of Education; discipline of Schools, notices of literary institutions, and literary Works; in fine any subject calculated to interest the planter, the teacher, mother, father, guardian and student. Disputed points in politics or religion, shall be entirely excluded, nor is the Academician ever to be the vehicle of malevolent insinuations, err ungenerous aspersions. It shall be the Constant aim of the Editor, to unite all conflicting inter ests, and views, in the noble object of training children in the ways of wisdom, and diffusing a taste for literature, the arts aod sciences, which ever tend to make a happy and enlightened peo ple.
