. t ] ie stand,” and gazed upon the long col imn t ] ia t was advancing, with measured to the sound of inspiriting music, ovously the gay banners waved in the . t freeze, and the long pennons streamed C n the soft summer air. Buoyant and was the Step Os every one in that stended line. As the procession reached he edge of the wood, and turned to enter l, c portal? of living oak, the devices of the ilken banners became perceptible, and the nottocs legible. If some of these embroid* •red flags should go down to the twenty ifth century, long after the work of Tem )Crancc shall have been finished, in the to al extermination of the crime of drunken icss, how will the antiquarian of those re mote days puzzle himself, and the learned eavans of his time, with their insignia and their curious symbols. What will the in verted bottle and the broken wine-glass in- Jicatc to them? What will they reply to the now significant questions—“ Who hath woes ? who hath sorrows ? who hath redness of eyes ?” What will they imagine was the substance so solemnly and earnestly inter dicted in the emphatic language : “ Touch not, taste not, handle not the accursed thing ?” They will refer to the “ History of the Nineteenth Century,” and there find re corded the annals of the grand crusade of Temperance —the exploits of the noble Knights, who did battle against King Alco hol and his legion hosts. The progress, the successes, and the final triumph of the mo ral crusaders, will form a brief but brilliant page in that eventful history. The proces sion occupied half an hour in marching to the stand, which had been gaily and appro priately decorated by the ladies with ever greens and wild flowers. In front of it, up on a rose-colored banner, were the words — MARIETTA WELCOMES ALL! The rustic seats before the stage were speedily filled by eager crowds of both sex es; and, in a few moments, a countless con gregation thronged the aisles and pews of one of those fine old groves, which the poet so truthfully tells us were “ God’s first temples.” Upon the stage appeared the chiefs of the great army—most of them arrayed in that glittering regalia which indicates the noble order of the Sons of Temperance. There was the old man, his silver hair lifted by the playful breeze, and his eye, still undim med, beaming with an unmistakable inter est and emotion ; and there, too, was the young man, whose lofty brow and finely chiselled features were glowing in the light of a holy cause. Conspicuous among the occupants of the area, in front of the stage, were the Cold water Armies, composed of boys who, in the very morning of life, had resolved to wage an uncompromising war with intemperance; and beside them the “ Daughters of Tem perance” —fair and worthy sisters of brave and resolute brothers. Time and space would fail us, to tell of all the exercises in the grove. The Orator of the Day, A. S. Wingfield, Esq., of Madison, delivered an eloquent and forcible address, and inculcated sentiments in perfect unison with the spirit and exigen cies of the great cause. The Convention so licited a copy of the Oration, and we are happy to say that it will be published in a convenient form. Numerous brief addresses were made by lads of the “ Cold-water Armiesall of which proclaimed the sincerity and earnest ness of the young soldiers of Temperance. The duty of replying to these was devolved upon the President of the Convention—ns Judge O’Neil, for whom it was designed, was not present—and never have we heard a more felicitous, eloquent and inspiring speech, than that of Judge Lumpkin on this occasion, llis illustrations were admira ble, and his enthusiasm irresistible. Speak ing of the progress of the Temperance move ment, he said that it was impossible to re strain the course of cold water. Through the strong barriers of the Blue Ridge the waters of the Potomac forced their way, and our own glorious mountain-torrent, Tallu lah, had rent the mighty walls of the rocky hills asunder in its impetuous progress ; so would the course of the Total Abstinence Reform be onward—ever onward—in spite of all the obstacles which intemperance could opipose! It is impossible to describe the effect pro duced upon the multitudes who heard the address. Now we saw the tears coursing down the cheeks of old and young—again, the thunders of applause shook the stage, and echoed through the forest—and a spirit of intense and eager delight seemed to per vade the entire mass of human beings, so densely congregated together. The enthusiasm was increased by the ap propriate odes sung by the Choir, and we must not fail to mention, particularly, the one sung to the very pretty melody, “ Dear est May ” “ Sparkling and Bright,” was also given with fine effect. The heat of the morning was tempered by prevailing clouds, which added greatly to the comfort of the throng. As we remarked, pon a similar occasion, it was a day to be remembered. The great ball of Temper ance—to use a figure so common as to bo warranted, perhaps—is rolling onward with an accelerated velocity. Swift and swifter still it moves—crushing resistance, at first formidable, as the tempest sweeps down the shrubbery in its path—and daily gathering momentum which, hereafter, the most terri ble and concentrated opposition shall not for a moment withstand. With what fit ness did a distinguished speaker exclaim: “ Can the Temperance Reform go back ward ? As well could the mighty floods of the Mississippi flow towards their source — or the terrible cataract of Niagara rush up wards from the dark basin into which it had been hurled.” Ihe moral influence of such festivals as that of our State Temperance Convention, is incalculable. The opiponents of the cause| stand aghast at such exhibitions, and the j friends are encouraged to redoubled exer tion for its advancement. Many eloquent addresses were delivered at the various churches during the session °f the Convention, and we feel assured that anew anil mighty impulse has been given to the movement in the Cherokee region of Georgia— a region abounding in unparal- j lcled agricultural, mineral and munuiuctu- ] 1 ‘ n ß resources, and destined to be the gar den-spot of the State. Among other reso- lutions adopted by the Cohvetition, there was one providing for a called session, to he held at Augusta; tho object of Which is to ’ give a public and official reception to Father Mathew, whenever he shall be prepared to visit Georgia. The next annual meeting of the Convention will be held in Atlanta, in August, 1800. WHAT THEY SAY OF US IN TEXAS. The Mercantile Advertiser, Houston, Tex as, one of the best papers, if we may judge by the number before us, published in the whole Southwest, has a very handsome no tice of our Gazette, from which we make the following extract: —“We acknowledge the receipt of a number of Richard's Week ly Gazette, published at Athens, Ga. We ! opened the paper, and there it was—a jour nal truly Athenian—a classic got up in a style to astonish not only a native Texan, but even a citizen of that modern Athens, i Boston. The whole is a gem, a real French burr, cornelian ! Agriculture, horticulture, ■ manufactures, poetry, and “ small hand,” all combine to make Richard’s Gazette una \ bella gazela, a pleasant and useful paper. I It is decidedly superior to Poor Richard's 1 Almanack, and that was thought some, in j the days of Ben Franklin.” We ought to have several hundreds of j subscribers in Texas, where we are sure ,we should find appreciating readers. Shall I we not have them ? * PEACE CONGRESS. The second Annual Session of the Con gress of Nations, for the promotion of Uni versal Peace, will be held in Paris, in Au gust next. Cobden, of England, and La martine, of France, are members of this Congress. There seems now a probability that this philanthropic assembly will find Europe involved in a general war. Its de liberations may be interrupted by the thun der of Muscovite cannon at the gates of Paris! AVe fear that the time is far dis tant when a peaceful assembly, of the best and wisest men of all nations,, sitting in Paris, or London, or Rome, or Constanti nople, or New York, shall settle national disputes and quarrels, as our courts of law now settle those of individuals; yet nothing seems more practicable than such a High Court of Nations. AA'hy is it that the earth must be ploughed with the sword, and wa tered with the blood of the brave, before it will bring forth the fruits of peace ? Many thousands of the truest men of Europe must bare their bosoms to the steel, and be trod den under the feet of the war-horse, on gory battle-fields, ere the great struggle between Liberty and Despotism, which is now going on, shall be ended. But we hope and trust that the time will come, when the aspira tions of so many good men after Universal Peace and Brotherhood, will be realized. (Dur (Upntcinporarics. Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. New Ameri can Edition. New York: L Soott & Cos. The June number of Blackwood is unusu ally rich, which, as those who are acquaint ed with the work will testify, is saying much. “ The Romance of Russian Histo ry,” “ Austria and Hungary,” “Feudalism in the Nineteenth Century,” and “Civil Revoluticn in the Canadas,” are articles of great interest. “ The Caxtons” is also con tinued with increased interest. * The Medical Examiner. Philadelphia : Linds.iy & Blakiston. The number for May, 1849, has been re ceived. It is a valuable journal of Medical Science. It is edited with great ability, by Francis G. Smith, M.

On the occasion of the inauguration of Jared Sparks, the distinguished historian and biographer, as President of Harvard University, the facetious Dr. Holmes, of Boston, perpetrated the following : Long live old Harvard! Lo, her rushing train Greets anew sign-board stretched across the plain ; While the bell rings—and that the bell shall do, Till Charles shall drop his worn-out channel through; It gently bints to every cur that barks, Here comes the engine—don’t you see the Sparks'! A Prophecy. The following extract from a poem, writ ten by Augustine Duganne, a year ago, seems like a prophecy which is now finding its fulfilment in Europe From Muscovy—Mother of Slaves— To their graves, To their graves, on the banks of the Rhino, The serfs of the Autocrat pour, And their blood shall now-nurture the vine. From Danube’s red shore, From Dnieper and Don, Shall gather the barbario hordes, The Tartar and Hun, Whose laws are their swords; From desert and border, Each bloody marauder. Shall haste to the land of the vine, To mingle his blood with its wine 1 * Congress of Nations. We learn that our townsman, Judge Lumpkin, has been appointed, by the Ame rican Peace Society, a Delegate to a Con gress of Nations, to assemble this summer in Paris. The Cholera Asphyxia. A dispute lately arose between two phy sicians iu a Western village, where two or three fatal oases of Cholera had occurred, as to the genuineness of the disease. One warmly asserted that it was, and the other, with equal earnestness, asserted that it was not, the Asiatic Cholera, when a waggish friend of both parties put an end to the dis pute, by saying to the negator —“ Well, Doctor, whether it is the genuine Cholera or not, you can’t deny that it is the Chole ra as-Jixes-y.ou.” “Just let him alone!” An amusing anecdote was related to us the other day, of a pious old farmer, who, ip days “ lang syne,” used to take his crop to Charleston market by wagon, and who, on one occasion, entrusted the expedition to his two sons —Sam and Jim. When the boys were fairly off, laden with the old man’s strictest charges as to prudence and WISHBiI @l3ll tie caution, he assembled bis family, as usual, at the hour of prayer, and made the udven turers the specinl objects of his supplica tions. He prayed that God would take care of Sam, and keep him out of tho clutches of the sharpers who infested Charleston, and then closed by adding—“As to Jim,; oh Lord, just let him alone —ho is stum l! enough to take care of himself!” . One of Horn’s Puns. A friend of ours met Horn the other day, in New Y’ork. He was intently watching an Irishman, who was carrying mortar up a ladder, to the top of a building. “ That man is not a mason,” said the incorrigible joker; “ he is a (h)od fellow.” * Pictorial History of North America. Mr. E. P. Baright, Agent for Frost’s Pic torial History of North America, has favor ed us with a sight of a Prospectus, and some specimen pages of that work. The plan of Dr. Frost embraces the entire continent. He commences with the early discoveries and settlements of the English, French, Spaniards, Dutch, &c., and closes with the late war with Mexico. The reputation of Dr. Frost is a sufficient guarantee for the impartiality, accuracy and interest of the work. Those who wish for the work, will j do well to give their names to Mr. Baright : as subscribers. ®ttr Book (ftctble. [Publishers ami Authors who desire to have their Books notieeil in this Gazette, are requested to send copies to the Editor through Stringer & Townsend, New-York, or Carey & Hart, Phil. I. The Poet and His Song. One vol., pp. 118. Charleston: John Russell. 11. Poems, by a South Carolinian. One vol., pp. 104. Charleston. Samuel Hart, Sen. Both of these volumes are from the Charleston press—both are from the pen of that most prolific and versatile genius, “ Anonymous,” and both commend them selves to us by the modest and unpresuming manner in which they pay their devoirs to the public. The Poet and His Song, is a poem of near ly two thousand lines, and narrates the va j ried experiences of one “ born a Poet,” and endowed with all a poet’s glorious but dan -1 gcrous gifts It is characterized by delica , cy and refinement of thought aud feeling, | rather than by vigor or depth. An earnest i love of whatever is beautiful, and good, and j true, is manifested throughout. The versi | fication, though occasionally marred by me trical and rhythmical imperfections, is gen erally smooth, flowing and graceful. If the writer is young and unpracticed, as we think, we have much to hope from the fu ture efforts of his muse. The following ex tract, in which the influences of Nature up on the impressible soul of the Poet child are most truthfully described, will give the reader an idea of the style of the poem : “And solemn night bad stooped from out of heaven, And on him bent the starlight of her eyes, And folding him within her arms, had given The power to read her holy mysteries. For him the Storm-King drove athwart the sky j His fiery steeds, for him the thunder rolled, For him were sunset ’s robes of Tyrian dye, Her azure depths and g ites of fairy gold. The wind tide flowing thro’ the summer leaves, Tho torrent’s rush, the sounding waterfall, The rain-drops pattering on the cottage eves, The hush of noon, the insects’ murmur, all, By other ears unheeded, were to him The glorious anthem of a thankful world, Where no ungrateful thought, no sin could dim j The glory of God’s banner there unfurled. And silent nature chanted to his ear The mighty harmony of choral song, The forest stems uprising, far and near, A visible hymn, whose cohoes, borne along By smiling hills, were to the mountains given, And from their cloud capped summits soared to heaven. Ho swept in dreams o’er ocean vast, Yet saw it not by tempests rolled ; Its ripples at his feet had cast Their diamond foam and sands of gold, And while his soul its grandeur knew, He loved it for its beauty, too.” The volume contains, in addition to the poem, front which it takes its name, several minor pieces. Os these, “ Boyhood” pleases us most. We are sorry our space will not allow us to copy it here. The other volume before us—Poems by a South Carolinian—contains a collection of miscellaneous poetry of considerable merit. There is more vigor and freshness in most of the pieces, than is to be found in the “ Poet and bis Song,” but they fall below that poem in gracefulness, and in elevation and purity of tone. The author is a lover of common sense and common feeling, and heartily despises German transcendental ism, and spiritual moonshine and mysticism. The longest poem in the book—“ An Ele gy”—we have not read. “ Getting Sober,” “ Midnight in a City,” “ Autumn Leaves,” and the stanzas commencing, “ Though fate of all others bereaves me,” particular ly please us, but their length preclude their insertion here. We will close by copying the following simple but pathetic lines : WELL, THOU ART IN THY GRAVE, AT REST. “ Well, thou art in thy grave, at rest. And I am iu the world alone ; The ilow’ry turf is on thy breast, A colder weight upon my own : A weight of lone and loveless years, Without a hope to break the gloom— Without a heart whose friendship cheers, And lights the pathway to the tomb Thine is the durk, undreaming sleep— Without a throb—without a start; And mine the woo that cannot weep, But silently consumes the heart. * Kavanagh, A Tai.e. By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Boston: Ticknor, Rced& Fields The reading public lias already passed a favorable verdict upon Kavanagh, and we need only add our word of commendation to the general voice, and assure such of our readers as have not already perused it, that a rich treat is still in store for them. Kavanagh is one of the pleasantest books, to say the least of it, that has lately fallen in our way. It is just the book to take up on one of these warm afternoons, it is so de liciously refreshing. It is a beautiful prose poem, and though inferior, \ye think, to Hy perion, it does no discredit to its talented author. We expected much, when the book was first announced, and have not been dis- j appointed. The story is but the slight thread, on which are strung, like pearls, a j thousand beautiful thoughts and fancies. Mr. Longfellow’s pictures of village life in New England, will strike any one who is j acquainted with the manners, customs and habits, which prevail in Yankee-land, as exceedingly well drawn, and true to life AA’e have not room to insert here any ex tracts, as wo had intended, but shall give our readers a chapter or two in future num bers. * A Universal Pronouncing Gazetteer. By Thomas Baldwin. Philadelphia: E. 11. But ler & Cos. 1841). This is the eighth edition of this exceed ingly useful work, and contains a Supple ment giving the pronunciation of near two thousand names. In fullness and accuracy, the most important points in such a work, this will compare favorably with any book of the kind. * Family Failings. By the Author of “Tho Hen-pecked Husband,” “Percy; or the Old Love and the New,” &c .&c New York: 11. Long & Brother. 1848 This is a vivid portrayal, in the form of a novel, of a series of scones, characters and incidents, in the higher walks of Eng lish life, and gives one a deep insight into the mysteries and falsenesses of an artificial society. It shows how the affections are thwarted, and the highest aspirations of the soul crushed, by false and unnatural so cial arrangements. * Old London Bridge : or Tho Days of Henry VTII. By C. Herbert llodwell. Author of ; “ Fanny, the Little Milliner,” “ The Bush Ranger,” &c., &c. New York: Stringer & Townsend. 1849. This is a Historical Romance. It presents 1 to us pictures of Life in London, three liun : dred years ago. From the perusal of a few chapters, we judge that it possesses consid erable value, aside from its absorbing inter est as a novel, as a truthful sketch of some of the prominent features of society, as it existed at the time in which tho scene is laid. ©cncral Intelligence. Progress of the Cholera. The Cholera is raging unabatedly at St. Louis and Cincin nati.

We give below an abstract of the Hibernia’s news : England.— The British Government re pudiates all sanction of the proceedings of the French Government against Rome. Parliament is engaged in debating the Canadian Losses Bill, and it has occasioned much excitement. Mr. Oladstoue warmly opposed the bill, and Lord John Russell, in reply to some of his remarks, characterized them as injudicious, and calculated to en courage the rioters in Canada. The bill for the abrogation of the Naviga tion Laws has passed the House of Lords without material amendment, and has re ceived the royal sanction It goes into ef fect on the Ist of January next France. —On Wednesday, the 18th, an incipient insurrection was detected in Pa ris. About 25,000 of the followers of the Mountain Party were engaged in it, headed by M. Elliegc Arngo, but it was promptly suppressed by the troops.
