legion. There nre four churches in the place—Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, nn<l Episcopnl—each of which lias a sepe rate house of worship. The last mention ed, true to the instinctive love of great names of which we have spoken, will speed- , ily consecrate another St. Peter's. The neat little edifice which belongs to this im posing title—for we cannot suppose that the title belongs to the building—is almost com pleted. The Presbyterians have built a neat and appropriate house. Os the houses of the ! Baptists and Methodists, “ the least said the better.” With most of the clergy of Rome, (not a Romish clergy, however !) wc have a sometime acquaintance. They nre men whose lives adorn their profession, and ex- | ert a salutary influence upon the commu nity. July 10th. Modern Rome possesses one advantage, which we fancy the Italian capi- , tal could not boast —at least to the same ex- | tent! True, she had her spacious baths— beneath roof and dome sustained by exqui sitely-wrought. columns —but this city has upon its very skirts, within the sound of its voices, a deep and clear river, so completely embowered in foliage and shut in by over shadowing cliffs, that it is one large bathing house, with the sky for its dome and the trees for its pillars! With a grateful mem ory of its refreshing embrace, arc we now ‘ seated, in the ebb of a hot and weary day, making these hasty records. It is a very humiliating reflection, that intellectual beings are yet so essentially animal in their propensities, that they can be guilty of crowding the doors of the din ing-hall, waiting the first touch of the tink ling steel, to rush pell-mell into the domains of Apicius! So it is, however ; and shall we record it to our own shame ? that wo have this day emulated the throng in their zeal to get to the table before all the more tempting viands wei e consumed —a myste riously electric process, by the way ! The Superior Court of Floyd County has been in session for now more than a week, and a large amount of business yet remains upon the docket. We climbed, to-day, the “Hill Difficulty,” and took a peep at the “Coart.” What a scene for Ilogarth did the interior of the Court House present!— Outside and inside the semi-circular bar, the floor was covered with tan-bark, to pre vent the noise of walking, and perhaps to protect the floor from a deluge of tobacco juice. With the latter purpose, it might not be amiss for the sextons of the churches to spread the tan-bark over the floors of the sanctuaries, judging from our observations on Sunday. But to go back to our mutton, or rather to the looof-sack. Within the bar, 6ome thirty or forty lawyers were seated on chairs, disposed according to individual taste. Some [lawyers, not chairs,] were asleep, with their heads on their knees. — Others were lolling at their case, with their feet respectfully presented to “ His Honor,” who, “ alone, in his glory,” occupied the “ bench,” [literally.] “ His Honor” was pacing the platform, very restlessly, ever and anon turning his eyes sharply upon some “ counsel” who was industriously quo ting Peters, or Vesey, or, perchance, Kel ly ! We could not help thinking, as we gaz ed upon “ His Honor,” of the impression his appearance would make in an English ses sion-room. Upon his head, instead of a full and elaborately dressed wig, he wore a broad-brimmed Panama. Instead of the lace-ruffled shirt bosom, his throat was guiltless of even a black ribbon. Instead j of the dark and flowing robe around his j form, he wore tight-fitting pantaloons of duck, which did or did not, as it happened, conceal his pseudo-boots! **** To account for tlic large number of law yers at the Court, we may mention that mo dern Rome can muster more “ limbs (and branches) of the law” than any place of similar size in our knowledge. The same remark is true of young physicians. We hope they have commenced their profession al career with an abundant stock of pa tience—a qualification which wc fancy will stand them in stead of harder-earned know ledge. Rome is a. place of magnificent expecta tions, but, as yet, of only moderate realiza tions. It is admirably situated for an ex tensive trade. Its geographical advantages embrace a Rail Road, connecting it with the sea-ports of the Atlantic, and a river navigation stretching into the heart of a fertile and populous region. Its trade is extending, though, at present, its mercan tile interest is under a cloud, arising from the almost entire failure of the wheat crop in Cherokee, upon which large expectations had been based. Wc are told that five brick-yards arc in active operation, supplying the demand for building material in the town. Rome, al though her population is less than 2000, has a city charter and government. We have seen many an unassuming village, with three times her population ; but she has cer tainly ns much right to a city corporation as others of her Cherokee sisters ; and wc arc pleased to record that her municipal regulations aro strict- and efficient for the preservation of good order. Romo has no book-store —at which we greatly marvel, especially as her stores are numerous, and some of them showy. She has respectable Schools, and “ a College” is whispered about, as among the possibilities of her future achievements. Os her Hotels we might, perhaps, have said better things, had wc not “ happened” there during Court. The “ Exchange” is in the centre of busi ness, and its piazza is really the place “ where merchants most do congregate.”— Os its chambers and cuisine wc cannot speak from observation , else, perhaps, we might confirm the general good report. We are quartered at the “ llucna Vista House” — which we hope has some rooms larger and more comfortably furnished than the one which Fate (and the bar-keeper) assigned to us. Editors want elbow-room when they visit Hotels, for although they belong to “ the press,” they arc in the habit of con trolling, and not of yielding to, it. There are two steamboats on the Coosa at this place—one in good condition, and the other undergoing repairs. A steam saw mill near the steamboat landing, is In con stant operation. The newspapers of Romo arc the Southerner and the Commercial Bulletin. Wc have named them not in the order of their seniority, but of their size. The former, owned and edited by Messrs, l ouche & Cuylcr, is devoted to the Demo cratic interests. The latter is edited by Mr. Russel Rennau, and sustains the pres ent National Administration. July 11th. A pleasant journey by ‘rail,’ of 18 miles, brought us this morning to Kingston, with an appetite keenly prepared to appreciate the very excellent breakfast set before us y Dr. Johnson, at his comfort able hotel. As we approached the Kingston Depot at a quick rate, the train from Dalton on the State Road, came rapidly down, and the nrrival of the two truins at the inter vening platform was almost instantaneous. The road from Rome to Kingston is decided ly the most picturesqne in the South. Tra versing the East bank of the Etowah, it passes through a valley whose fertility and verdure gladden the eye and the heart.— Occasionally it sweeps through deep cuts, or along rocky terraces, but at every point, the river, on the one hand, presents some fresh view to attract, or, on the other, the hills rise into mountain grandeur and wildness. The Road is in excellent condition, and un der such careful management, that since it has been in operation, not a single accident has transpired. It cost, with all its loco motive appliances, and its station houses, the sum of #120,000, and is already paying a good return on the capital invested. To its able and gentlemanly Superintendant, S. T. Combs, Esq., wc are glad to make ac knowledgments for various courtesies. SOUTH CAROLINA. We have made Mr. E. 11. Mellichampeour Agent for the Gazette and Schoolfellow, and appointed, as his present field of effort, the State of South Carolina, and particular ly the upper Districts. Wo commend him and our works to the favor of tho people in that section. Our (Gossip GTolnmit. A Terrible Fate Averted! A subscriber, having removed to a village not a thousand miles from our office, and whose directions to alter the address of his papev had been somehow overlooked, writes as follows: —“A. 8. l’lease direct my Ga zette to E . This is the third or fourth time I have written you to send me the Ga zette to E . If you do not send me my paper to E , may you wear tight boots all your life, with two fleas in each of them ; be forever troubled with cross babies ; have a thousand rhyming contributors to the Ga zette ; and, when you die, may not a single tear be shed over your cold and narrow couch —all because you will not send my paper to E ! “ P. S. Be certain you send my paper to E .” Let our excellent and esteemed friend, TANARUS., believe that it needed not the argumentum ad pocketum, made use of by him in this last appeal, to induce an immediate compliance with his wish. We could not have with stood the terrible objurgations of his letter. At the first, our heart quailed and our knees trembled ; at the second, we inward ly prayed—“ Lord, deliver us !”—but, at the third specification, we exclaimed with Macduff: “ Oh, horror! horror! horror! Tonguo nor heart Cannot conceive, nor name thee r* In the contemplation of this dire afflic tion, we considered not the fourth and final malediction; but rushing, with suspended breath and visible horror on our face, into the presence of our book-keeper, thrust the fatal missive into his hand, and prayed him, for the love of Heaven, to avert the terrible danger by an instant compliance with the ominous direction that appeared all over the letter, within and without, like the fla ming inscriptions which the demons wrote upon the accursed barrels in “ Deacon Giles’ Distillery!” The Gazette has been sent to E , and we breathe freer; though, lest the curse should be even now working to its fulfilment, we cautiously avoid wearing boots at all —humor our only babe in every whim —carefully examine eve ry suspicious-looking letter that arrives through the Post-office—resolved, if we dis cover in any “ the mark of the beast, to refuse them, and, finally, have made at least one friend promise to shed a tear upon our final resting place. We have had a lesson not soon to be forgotten, and hereafter no subscriber need apprehend any delay in having his directions to alter the address of our paper complied with. Historical Accuracy. An Italian, who visited this country a few years since, and wrote an account of what he saw, has the following interesting item of history : “ On Bunker Hill is a cel ebrated monument, erected to commemorate the victory gained by the Americans over the English in 1776. It was commenced by Engineer O’Donnell Webiter, in 1827, un der the Presidency of the celebrated La Payette, and finished in 1843.” Sentimental. A young lady of our acquaintance, being asked by a gentlemen if- she had read Mrs. Eastman’s Legends of the Sioux, replied that she had not, and added that “ blic should dearly like to read it, for it must bo a very sentimental book.” She probably supposed that it was a collection of legiti mate love tales—legends of the “ Sigh-oh Plagiarism. Son}C individual, with as little sense as honesty, recently sent to the Temperance Banner, as an original contribution, the fine old poem, by Marsdcn, “ What is Timer” beginning— “ I asked an aged man, a man of cares.” We mention this, to express our astonish ment that there should be found, at this day of diffused knowledge, any ope suffi ciently stolid to suppose that a plagiarism so glaring as this, could escape detection and exposure. The fable of the jackdaw in borrowed plumes, is not a whit less applica ble now than in the days of iEsop. While on this point, we beg leave to assure our would-be correspondent, “ Henricus,” that we have already met with the poem which he “ offers with much diffidence for publica tion —it being a first attempt”! We annex the piece entire, as it appears in “ The Poets and Poetry of England,” where it is attributed to William Lisle Bowles ; REMEMBRANCE.

Many readers of the Gazette arc enquir ing, “ What has become of Flit?” In reply to them all, wc are happy to say that lie has recently reported himself from Peekskill, on the Hudson, and promises to resume the “ Flit Correspondence” at a very early day. We hope to publish a letter from him in our next number. Advertisement Extraordinary. We clip the following advertisement from the Charleston Courier. Tho “ Lady Alice” is described by the English critics as “ the most brilliant and exciting story that has appeared for a long time.” Surely our friend Russell, (or the printer for him,) has made a great mistake in his specifica tions of the title-page: T ADY ALICE, OR THE NEW UNA—A J_J description of a system of Military Bridges, with India Rubber Pontoons; prepared for tho use of the United States Array, by Capt. Geo W. Collura. Just received bv JOHN RUSSELL, 236 King St. Edward S. Dodge, Esq. This accomplished and favorite Artist has returned to our town, and proposes, if the indications are favorable, to re-open his Miniature and Daguerreotype Rooms. He is at the Newton House, where specimens of his unsurpassed skill in the Fino Arts may be seen. oitr Cook Qlablc. [Publishers and Authors who desire to havethoir Books noticed in this Gazette, are requested to send copies to the Editor through Stringer & I Townsend, New-York, or Carey & Hart, Phil. i Benjamin Franklin. His Autobiography ; with | a Narrative of his Public Life and Services.— By Rev. 11. Hastings Weld. W’ith numerous designs by J. G. Chapman. In one vol. Bvo , pp. 549. New York: Harper & Brothers. — 1819. This elegant volume has met with that ; generous reception from the public, which j it merited ; and if we are somewhat late in noticing it, we are none the less prepared to appreciate and oommend it. About half the volume is occupied by Franklin’s own ac i count of his life, which has been deservedly ; called “ one of the most charming perform ances of the kind ever written.” It cer tainly possesses a remarkable degree of in terest, attracting every class of readers. The labors of Mr. Weld occupy the other half of the work, and embrace the public life of Franklin, and those services to his country which have made his name not only famous, but glorious. The illustrations by Chapman form one of the great attractions of the book. They are about eighty in number, and are very ceautiful, both in de sign and execution. The typography and paper are faultless. Rural Letters, and other Records of Thoughts at Leisure, written In the Intervals of more hur ried literary labor. By N. P. Willis One vol. 12mo , pp. 380. New Y’ork: Baker & Scribner. 1319. Mr. Willis is a favorite with us, despite his foibles, and we can always find pleasure in the perusal of his graceful, fanciful, and unique sketches. Os this description are most of the contents of this volume, where his admirers will recognize familiar things, such as the “ Letters from Under a Bridge,” “ Open-air Musings in the City,” “ Invalid Rambles in Germany,” and “ Letters from Watering riaccs.” No American writer is better acquainted with society than Mr. Willis, and he shews it up in a most inimitable style. His free dom would be impertinence, but for tho grace which invests it. lie uses the oddest imaginable similes, and sometimes talks non sense with as much propriety and effect as if he were serious. The exceeding versatil ity of his genius—for he possesses real ge nius—is not surpassed, if equalled, by that of any of his contemporaries. He certainly makes an admirable editor; and although he had a deal of egotism, it is willingly overlooked for the sake of his ra ciness. Os the “ Rural Letters,” those “ from under a bridge” are the best. All, howev er, are exceedingly readable and pleasant. Dahcotah, or Life and Legends of the Sioux around Fort Snelling. By Mrs. Mary East man, with a Preface by Mrs. C. M. Kirkland One vol. 12m0., pp. 288. New York: John Wiley. 1849. The Indians,” says the amiable author of the preface to this volume, “are full of poetry” —and these beautiful Legends of the Sioux afford abundant proof of the truth of the remark. Tlio Indian character, in its native simplicity, is essentially poetical— and those authors who have skilfully work ed this prolific vein of American Literature, have won for themselves an enviablo repu tation, and helped to redeem their country from the reproach often cast upon it, that it had nothing fresh and indigenous in litera ture. The Indian features of Mr. Cooper's delightful books, aro their crowning beauty and excellence. Mrs. Eastman is the wife of Capt. East man, of the U. S. Army, and having resided several years at Fort Snelling, in the imme diate vicinity of the once powerful, but now almost extinct nation, of the Sioux Indians, with whom she had frequent intercourse, she is qualified to tell us much about that interesting tribe. When wc add that she is not less gifted with pleasing powers of nar ration, than in the material for their exer cise, we shall, perhaps, sucoeed in enlisting, at onoe, the reader's good will towards her very agreeable volume, In the author’s Introduction and Prelimi nary Remarks, wo have many glimpses at the social life and condition of the Dacotalis —blended with a saddening picture of their rapidly waning glories, and their fast-com ing destiny. An account of their customs, feasts, and dances —as also of their writing, their names, their doctors, their gods, and other features of their social economy, is not without real interest. The volume comprises nearly a score of romantic Legends, received by Mrs. East man from the lips of the red men and wo men, in their own wigwams or in the fort. They aro very beautiful —brimful of tender ness and poetry, and of a deep religious feeling They reflect the inner life of the Delian, and in the simple yet impressive narrative of tlio fair authoress, win our hearts to admiration of his native noble ness. Mrs. Eastman has performed a grace ful, and, wc doubt not, to thousands of read ers, a very acceptable task ; and we dismiss her book, with the hope of meeting her again and again in the fair tournament of letters. Dehmot O'Bkikn, or the Taking of Tredagh. A Tale of 1649. By Henry William Herbert, author of “The Rornon Traitor,” &c. New York : Stringer & ‘Townsend. 1849. This is a pleasant Irish story, told in Mr. Herbert’s usual attractive style. This will be deemed a sufficient recommendation by those who have read and admired the pre vious works of the author. * Water Cure in America. Edited by a Water Patient. New York: John Wiley. 1849. To those interested in Hydropathy—and every person should be sufficiently interest ed to investigate its claims—this is a valua ble work. It gives an account of more than two hundred cases, of various diseases, treated with water, by Drs. Wessclhoeft, Shew, Bedortha,Shieferdeckcr, and others; with notices of the various Hydropathic es tablishments and publications in America. The Sry. A Tale of the Neutral Ground. By J. Fennimore Cooper. Revised, corrected and illustrated, with a New Introduction, by the author. One vol., 12m0., pp. 463. The extraordinary success which has at tended Mr. Putnam’s enterprise in pub lishing an elegant, uniform edition of Wash ington Irving’s works, has induced him to undertake, in similar style, tho works of the first and best American novelist, J. Fennimore Cooper. The volume before us is the beginning of this new series, and we welcome it with a deep-felt and earnest pleasure, containing, as it does, the author’s earliest novel, originally published a quar ter of a century ago. The reader is too well acquainted with “ The Spy,” to afford us any apology for referring to the story itself, further than to say that, in the intro duction to this edition, Mr. Cooper relates an anecdote of the war of 1775, upon which he founded the plot of his admirable work. It is a beautiful incident, and lends a ten fold interest to the story. Tho “ Spy” was, in truth, a real personage, but so secret were his operations, and so perfect was his concealment, that not even his name has come down to posterity. Mr. Cooper tells us, also, that when he printed the first volume of “ The Spy,” the second was unwritten ; and, so small were the encouragements to literary labor, that he did not, for several months afterwards, commence it. When, at last, it was in pro gress, the author received a hint from his publisher that it might grow too long for profit—and, to relieve his anxiety, Mr. Cooper wrote “the last chapter, which was actually printed and paged several weeks before the chapters which precede it were thought of.” This is one of the “ curiosities of Litera ture,” and exhibits, most strikingly, “ the day of small things” in American letters. Since then, wbat v*oaHerfnl changes have taken place in the geographical, commer cial, political, social and intellectual condi tion of our country. These changes our author has watched with a vigilant eye. and the good and the bad in them are still the prolific themes of his pen. We trust that American readers will make this new edition of Cooper's works an ova tion to his genius. Naebative ok the U. 8. Exploring Expedi tion to the Rivek Jordan and the Dead Sea. By W. F. Lynch, U. S. N. Com. of the Expedition. One vol., Bvo., pp. 508. With maps and numerous illustrations. Philadel phia : Lea & Blanchard. 1849. We have read this work with profound interest and much satisfaction. It records the results of one of the most judicious and successful exploring expeditions ever sent out by an enlightened government, and re fleets the highest possible credit upon all parties connected with it. Lieut. Lynch’s narrative is easy, graphic and pleasing, despite occasional lapses in grammar, and other blemishes. His field of research—so important and hitherto littlo known —has become invested with a tenfold deeper inter est than ever. The economy, despatch, un wavering zeal aud energy displayed in the adventure, are beyond all praise. The me chanical execution of the work is beautiful, exceedingly. It is a volume to adorn the most elegant library. As it is our intention to prepare an extended notice of the work for our Critical Department, we shall say no more of it, at this time, than simply to urge our readers to procure it immediately. Sljc OU> lUovlti. By the arrival of the Niagara, we have Liverpool dates to the 30th ult. The news is important, but not of such startling im port as by some previous arrivals. We make the following summary : England.—\n Parliament, tho removal of the Jewish Disabilities bill has been re jected in the upper house by’ a majority of 20, the Ministers not venturing to call for the proxies. Baron Rothschild, having been rejected, has already accepted the Chilton hundreds, and made an appeal to the electors. His success is considered certain. The House of Commons has affirmed the second reading of the marriage bill, to ren der valid marriages with the sisters of de ceased wives. Owing to the unfavorable accounts of the growing crop of cotton in America, received by the last steamer, an extensive business has been transacted, during the past week, at aq advance of l-8d to l-4d per lb. The quotations are as follows: Fair Upland, 4 7-8d ; Fair New Orleans, 4 l-8d a 4 -12d, a 4 5-Bd. France.—A Bill regulating the press has been introduced into the Assembly. It pro poses a law, for temporary application, simi lar to that of Louis Philip, and powers arc given by it for the temporary suspension of evory journal attacking the constitution, or making direct appeals to tho army against the Government. The law against Clubs has already been put in force. The bickering which has been carried on between tho President aud a portion of his Ministry, is rapidly approaching an issue, and it is supposed will result in the retire ment of some of the lending members of tlio Cabinet. The principal cuuse of the dissen sion is the anomalous and fratricidal policy of the Government in regard to Italy. The advices from Paris, on Tuesday even ing, state the city was perfectly tranquil, and business on the Bourse steady, with an upward tendency and a rise in prices. Five per cents closed at 80f. 20c. Home. —After a severe bombardment, the squadrons of the French army succeeded in establishing themselves within the outer walls of Rome, early on the 22d of June. Since that time, they have been occupied with attempts to acquire possession of the j inner bastions and defences, but, up to the 23d and 24th, they had not made much pro gress. The gallant Romans nobly contested every inch of ground. Rome was completely at the mercy of ! Gen. Oudinot, who had made proposition to save the city from destruction, which, it is thought, the Romans will accept. The Austrians have captured Ancona, af ter a desperate resistance, and the bombard ment of Venice was suspended in conse quence of proffers of capitulation. Austria and Hungary. —The reports of warlike movements are contradictory —some favoring the Hungarians, and others the Austrians. The cholera has broken out in the Austrian camp, near Waaf. China. —Accounts from China say that the Emperor has refused to open Canton to foreigners, as was provided by the treaty with Great Britain. This will cause trou ble in that quarter. C&cncral Intelligence. Progress of the Cholera. In New York, on the 12th inst, there were 116 new cases of Cholera, and 30 deaths. In Philadelphia, on the 11th, there were 83 new cases and 32 deaths. In Cincinnati, on the 11th, there were 70 deaths by Cholera, and on the 12th, there were 79 deaths by the same disease. In Columbus, Ohio, over 80 deaths have occurred in the State Penitentiary. At St. Louis, on the 10th, the interments were estimated at 100. The sextons had become so careless and indifferent about ma king their reports, that official data could not be procured. On the 11th, the interments amounted to 190, of which, 150 died of Cholera. Gov. Totrns was unanimously nominated for re-election, by the Democratic Conven tion, which assembled at Millcdgcville on Tuesday last. Mrs. Madison, relict of James Madison, former President of the United States, died in Washington on the 13th inst. Hon. Chapman Johnson, a distinguished citizen of Virginia, died in Richmond on the 12th inst., in the 71st year of his age. British League. More than 80 branches of the British League have been formed in Upper Canada alone, and new branches are being rapidly organized in every tow n and township in the Province. More than seventeen million passengers passed over the Railroads in Massachusetts during the past three years. Only fifty-six persons were killed, and sixty-five were in jured. The Outbreak at the Charleston Work House. The boy Nicholas, slave of Mr. Kelly, George, slave of Mr. Holmes, and John, slave of Dr. Toomcr, rec.ntly tried in Charleston, for an outbreak in the Work House, and assaulting and wounding L. Mc- Namara, Lieut. Ward, and other white men, have all been sentenced to be hung. Cotton Crop. The following is an ex tract from a letter received from one of the largest and most respectable Planters in Baker County, in this State, to his Factors in Charleston : “Baker County, July stb, 1849. “ You request mo to give you my opinion of the growing crop: The crop is small, and at least a month behind last year's crop; there are at least one-half of the stalks that hive not yet bloomed. I think we may rely iq>on it, that the crop will not reach more than Iwo-thirds of last year’s crop, and many, more likely, will not reach two-thirds. A few Planters, who were not injured by the frost, may, perhaps, make a full crop, but there are many men who will not mako one-half a crop. There arc fields of Cotton on the richest lands, that up to this time, have not had a bloom to every hundred stalks.” Hon. George Bancroft, our Minister at the Court of St. James, received the degree of Doctor of Civil Law, from Oxford Uni versity, on the 20tli June. ®SJ it D J'J Di U D 7. THE BHAKSPKARS CALENDAR.
