camped for the night upon the edge of the Ghor, between the lands of the tribes of Zcbulon and of Gad. The voyage down the Jordan occupied eight days. The distance of latitude from themoutli of the river to the Dead Sea is only sixty miles, but the course of the stream is so tortuous that it traverses more than three times that distance. Tim Jordan is interrupted in its whole progress by ex tensive and formidable rapids, which, as they at first presented themselves to our voyagers, created no unreasonable alarm for the success of the expedition. Nor did the obstacle lessen in its magnitude, as the voyage progressed; though the courage and resolution of Lieut. Lynch and his gallant associates rose with each occasion and bore them safely through dangers and difficulties that would have appalled less resolute spirits, lathe first two days, a distance of only twelve miles in a direct line was accomplished. On the second day they encountered rapids and falls so continuous and frequent that Lieut. Lynch very properly calls it, “a perfect break down in the bed of the river. A fter shooting down some of these rapids and plunging the falls, it became evident that the boats could descend them no far ther; aud now the ingenuity of our party was displayed in devising “ways and means” to proceed. On the right bank of the river an old mill sluice made off to a point below. In to this the boats Were floated and urged a long as far as possible. When the nar rowness of the canal forbade further pro gress, they unloaded the boats, and having removed all obstacles between the canal and the river, they made a sudden breach in the former and upon the artificial tide thus produced, with incredible labor, the crews and friendly Arabs bore the boats over the sloping rock and launched thorn once more into the river!

The Journals both of the sea-hoard and of tlio interior, have been, for weeks past, much occupied with descriptions of the wa tering-places of the South, and thousands of persons have availed themselves of the low fares on the various Rail Roads, to visit the mountain region of Georgia. As we said last week, this is a matter of congratulation to all, tending, as it does, to cement existing bonds between the dwellers of the moun tains and those of the low country, and to create agreeable ties between tlio sister States of Georgia and Carolina, which, by every consideration of cither feeling or in terest, ought to he closely united. Charleston has paid, during the Summer, large and willing tribute to the Cherokee and Habersham regions of Georgia ; her cit izens have crowded our Rail Roads, and fill ed, to overflowing, our various watering places. This, we sincerely hope, they will do every successive Summer, and in increas ing numbers, ns the accommodations of those regions become commensurate with the de mand of guests. Inexhaustible, indeed, arc the attractions of our mountain border— rich in scenes for the painter, and in le gendary wealth for the poet and the novel ist. When they shall have found the pencil and tlio lyre worthy of their loveliness, tiie world will ring with the cciioes of a fame as lofty and as sweet as that of even Switzer land. It is not the mountain region alone, how ever, that presents to us magnificent scene ry, or the mountain breezes only that bring health to the cheek and elasticity to the spi rits of the invalid. We iiavc placed, at the head of this article, the name of a summer retreat which well deserves to be a place of great resort; and we cannot do our readers of the interior a greater favor, perhaps, than to shew them how they can reciprocate the visits of their sea-board friends, at a less sacrifice of comfort and convenience, and to the realization of a scarcely less amount of pleasure and profit. Sullivan’s Island, named after its original possessor, and given by him to the State of South Carolina as a summering place for the eitizens of Charleston—is situated at the entrance of Charleston harbor, to the N. E. of the City, from which it is distant about five miles. It is nearly four miles in length, nnd varies from a quarter to half a mile in breadth. On the side exposed to the ocean is a remarkably fine beach, of dark-colored sand, affording a drive of three miles, cer tainly unsurpassed upon the sea-coast. The back beach opens upon a marshy inlet, a bounding with game and fish. Upon the southern extremity of the Island is the town of Moultrieville, between which and the City, two steam ferry-boats arc con tinually plying at tho very low faro of a shilling. This town is under the govern ment of a Council consisting of five Wardens and an lutcndant. Any one desiring to build upon the Island can secure, by the grant of tho City authorities, a half-acre lot, provided he builds upon it within the period of one year. The town has three streets, compactly built—in addition to which, thore arc many dwelling-houses in more or less isolated positions. Fort Moul trie—built upon the spot where once stood Fort Sullivan, constructed of palmetto logs —is a handsome and substantial structure of stone, the interior arrangements and he- ; longings of which are in the highest degree . admirable. At present, it is garrisoned by j a single company. Recently it was threat- ened with destruction by the inroads of th° sea—and to protect it, two harriers of rock were tin own out, forming an extensive breakwater, which has occasioned a largo accession of territory in front of the Fort, ;by tiie deposite of sand. This breakwater , interrupts the unity of the front beach, but affords to the dwellers upon that portion of the Island, a delightful sen-bath, at high water, reaching to their very doors. , The summer population of the Island is i about 3,000—a number that is augmenting ; every summer, and that will ho vastly in j creased when the plan now under conside ration for tiie erection of a large Hotel. ! shall be consummated. It is proposed to expend, for this purpose, the sum of 515,- 000, a large portion of which is already sub scribed. The Hotel will be built upon the sea beach, near the Fort, and will be con ducted on the most liberal scale. Mean while, pleasant and comfortable quarters are provided for visitors in private hoard ing-houses. We recently passed a night upon the Isl and, with our esteemed friend, Mr. Bart less, one of the town wardens, to whose courtesy we are indebted for a ride com pletely around the Island, and for much novel enjo3 T ment during our brief visit. Delicious, indeed, was the sea-breeze that fanned our checks ns wo flew along the smooth, hard beach, with tiie waves of the sea combing and breaking almost under the horses’ feet, and their deep but melodious voices sounding like strange music in our cars. The interior of the Island is under par tial cultivation, and rewards abundantly the toil of the husbandman. Laurel and cedar, and various shrubs, grow in profu sion on the barrens, and afford harbor to myriads of birds, whose twittering at the sunset hour almost subdues the roar of the waves. Tiie temperature of the Island is seldom excessive—the beat of the day being always attempered by the refreshing breezes that | prevail from the sea. The nights are cool, i and repose is promoted by the perpetual lul j laby of the ocean-song. | Sea-bathing is the great attraction of the j Island—and nowhere can this luxury be ob ! tained with more case and comfort. Re freshing and grateful, even now, is our re collection of a bath in the surf, while the early rays of the sun were kindling upon ■ the bosom of the ocean. Through the kind | ness of our friend 8., we were provided with a surf-line and all the comfortable appliances of the coast-bath—and it was, indeed, glo ! rious to be lifted upon the swelling bosom of the sea, agitated by the fresh breath of ; the morning. To the other memories of our visit to Sul livan's Island, wc may add that of a morn ing visit and breakfast with Rev. Dr. Gil man and his amiable family, who own a pleasant dwelling upon the beach, where they pass the heats of the summer in de lightful retirement. Sullivan's Island is destined to boa most popular summer retreat, and wc would urge our readers of the interior to visit it ere yet the hot season is over. Accessible at a cheap and easy rate, it will afford them pleasures they have never perhaps dreamed of—such as glorious ocean-views, with white-winged ships and noble steamers ploughing the mighty deep—the delicious and swectly-re fresliing breezes of the sea—the cool and buoyant embraces of tiie ocean waves—the delightful employment of fishing, rewarded ever by the toothsome sheep-head, whiting, crovalla and black-fish—and the manly pur suit of the sportsman, compensated by the curlew, the sand-bird, the marsb-licn, and the plover. A pleasanter or more health-promoting excursion can hardly be devised for the invalid, whose strength is inadequate to the demands of a mountain tour. A month on Sullivan's Island, with daily’ bathing in the surf, and frequent riding or walking on the beach, would suffice, it seems to us, to bring back health to an over-tasked frame and rose tints to a pallid cheek. Tiie South Carolina and Georgia Rail Roads continue their low fares until the middle of October—affording yet ample time for a visit from the interior to this shrine of Health and Pleasure. A CHAPTER ON QUACKS. The world is full of Quacks. There are false pretenders in every profession nnd in every trade. Wo have Medical Quacks, by the million, with pills, powders, panaceas, syrups and elixirs enough, if quantity alone need bo taken into consideration, to cure or kill a bed-ridden universe ! Legal Quacks are scarcely less numerous. These are men who, possessing neither legal knowledge nor talent, (except a certain instinctive shrewd ness,) live by the Law. though not always according to law, and in whose hands an honest man fares no better than a rogue.— Then we have Political Quacks, with their vaunted specifics for all diseases of the body politic; Religious Quacks, with their new ways to get to heaven; Commercial Quacks, with their mock-auctions, “ fancy stock,” false market reports, nnd specula tions in bubbles and moonshine; but more numerous, more incorrigible, more danger ous to the Republic than all others, are the Literary Quacks! We find these in every city, town and village, in the country. Wo may divide them into three classes —Prosaic Quacks, Poetical Quacks, and Editorial Quacks. The Prosaic Quack bores you with long j Essays, interminable Treatises, and aimless j and pointless Dissertations on morals, man- I ners and religion—caoti and all of which, if i they prove nothing else, prove most conclu sively that lack of brains is no detriment to such a writer, and that Lindley Murray aud Hugh Elair were consummate fools, and far behind this age. The Poetical Quack deluges you with “Stanzas,” “Lines,” “Sonnets,” “Chan sons <T Amour” and all manner of jingling nonsense, rhyming stupidity, and sickly sentimentalism. His dullness is equalled only by his vanity. He fancies himself ano ther Byron, ami itches to seo himself in print. “ Swans sing before they die ;’t were no bad thing, 1 Should certain persons die before they sing.” From all such nuisances, “ good Lord deliv- , er us.” But all other Quacks are but as the small dust of tho balance, in comparison with the ■ Editorial Quack Against all others you wissii'f may find a means of defence, but against him nothing avails. To-day ho thrusts into I your face the “ Prospectus - ’ of the “ .Moral ‘ Steam-Engine ami Literary Uum" —wc beg pardon—“ Herald,” which he assures you shall go far ahead of anything in the maga zine line, published in America or Kurope, and give to the world a Literature, sancti fied by morality mid religion, such ns has not yet been seen! lie appeals to every man, woman and child, in Anglo-Saxon- 1 dom, to come forward and support his en terprise, as a sacred, duty to their country and the world ! Next week, perhaps, this prolific genius will meet, you at the corner s os the street, and, holding you by the but ton, spread before you the first number of his new weekly paper— “ The Great Lu minary of the Nineteenth Century, I Devoted to Literature,” &c., &c<, &c. It is useless to expostulate with him. Lack of brains is more than compensated for by a surplus of impudence and conceit. He docs not pretend that he can write correct Eng- lish. But that is a small matter. He is above the arbitrary rules of the school-men. He never got so far in his studies ns the sec ond part of “ Smith's Grammar.” Whatcly and Newman he never heard of, and Hedge is to him a fenco of thorns through which he never had a desire to break. Literary pretenders of this class are nu merous. To escape them, you must go be yond the bounds of civilization. They too often find in our communities—wc arc sorry to say—numerous supporters, more igno rant, if possible, though less conceited, than themselves. These Quacks arc very tena cious of life. The only way you can kill them, is to let them atone. Satire is lost upon them, for the simple reason that they arc so stupid that they can see no point to the best pasquinade, especially if it is aimed at themselves. Well, vive la Humbug. NATIONAL COMMON SCHOOL CONVENTION. This Convention, which was to have been held in Philadelphia on the 22d ult., has I been postponed, on account of the Cho:c to the 17th of October. Officers of Conventions or Associations which have appointed delegates, are re quested to forward to the Corresponding Secretary, Alfred E. Wright, Esq., Pliila- I delpliia, the names of the persons thus ap pointed. Georgia should be well represented in I that Convention. We trust that delegates chosen will not fail to attend. * “WOMAN & WOMAN’S LORD.” We wish to call attention to the excellent Story of Real Life, with the above title, commenced in last week's Gazette, and con tinued in the present number. It was writ j ten by one who has tiie welfare of her na tive State, and of her sex, at heart. While , it is a very pleasant story, it is something J more. It was written with a high purpose, and touches upon social evils, which claim the earliest attention of our legislators.— ;Do not fail to read it * j our (Gossip Column. American Books Abroad. Mr. Henry Colman's book—“ Letters on ; European Life and Manners”—has been se- I verely handled by the London critics, who find fault with the freedom cf his descrip tion of life among the upper classes —an of -1 fence so venial, that wc are only surprised it should be even alleged against him. The Edinburgh deals somewhat tartly with Hudson's “Lectures on Shakspeare,” and | denies to the book the meed of merit gene rally acceded by our critics. The frequent reviews of American books in English pe riodicals, afford evidence of one thing, at least —that American Literature is making itself felt in the Old World. There is no 1 longer pertinence in the once sneering ques tion of a transatlantic writer, “ Who reads an American Book ?” The last Quarterly ’ acknowledges, in a handsome manner, that while England sends her books into every American cottage, she receives some valua i hie returns in the writings of our Irving, Prescott, t'hanning, Cooper, and others. - Longevity of Poets. j Wordsworth, the noble, contemplative and philosophic bard of R.ydal Mount, at the ad vanced age of 79, has recently been mingling in the Court festivities of London. Rogers, ; too, only two years the junior of Words | worth, attends picture sales, and goes to routs. James Montgomery, also, sixty-sev en years old, is as active and benevolent as ever. Joanna Baillic, who will soon num ber her “ four-score years,” is yet the cen tre of a charmed circle at Hampshire. An English journal, from which we derive the above items, remarks —“ Poetry must be a healthful occupation.” Contrary to the S general impression, there must bo about the divine art, a geniality, n sustaining, if not a revivifying power, most grateful to its possessor, and most happy in its influence. Blessings and long life, say we, to such poets as Wordsworth,Rogers and Montgomery! More of the Same Sort. We published, in our last, a poetical pas quinade on Homeopathy. A Homeopathist gives a “ Roland” for their “ Oliver,” in the following reply : AT.T.OPATHV. Take some calomel— The more you take tho bolter ; Mix it with a drop Or two of cistern water. Feed some to your dog; It will make him vomit, And, may be, soe stars, And perhaps a couict. Once in each half-hoar Take a rousing potion— Say a tumbtcr-full, If that suits your notion. Should you chance to die— As you ’re almost sure to— You may safely swear That it did not cure you. But here comes the advocate of a system which we like better than either of tho oth crs. The lines arc copied from the Provi dence Journal: SENSEOPATHV. Take the open air— The more you take the better; Follow Nature's laws To the very letter. Let the doctors go To the Bay of Biscay : Let alone, the Gin, The Brandy nod the Whiskey. Freely exercise— Keep your spirits cheerful — l.ot no dread ol sickness Make you uv r tearful. Ent the simplest food — Drink the pare eold water : Then you will be well— Or at least yon ought to. * Rather luJeflnitc. A correspondent of Holden's -Magazine, in the list number of that Journal, intro duces, ander the head of “ Waifs of Beau ty,'’ a poem, entitled “Georgiann,” “by Dr. T 11. Chivers, of this State,” which he says he cut from the “ Gazette,” aud which lie calls “ ono of the finest Lyrics ever written by Ray American poet—or, 1 may say, Eng lish ” Now, ns there is nothing in the ar ticle alluded to, to indicate where it origi nated, “ this State” may mean New York, ov Texas, or any other individual member of this confederation of Republics, and the “ Gazette” referred to may he any one of the hundred* of papers hearing that cogno men.

Death of ITenry Caiman. A late steam er brought the sad intelligence of the death Rev. Henry Colman, author of “ Familiar Let-ur from Europe,” and of many well known contributions to the agricultural lit erature of the country. Mr. Colman had engaged a passage for his return in the steamer, hut died it Islington, near Lon don, the day before she sailed. Miss Cushman, the distinguished actress, was among the passengers in the Caledonia, which lately arrived in Boston. So. also, were Miss Eliza Cook and Miss 11. M. Ilayes, English writers of some distinction, mem bers of tiie literary circle of which Jcrrold and the Hnwitts are well-known in this country. £!)e oltJ lUorl*. The steamer Niagara, which arrived in Boston on the 7th inst., brought most dis astrous intelligence from the Old World. Hungary, the hope of European Liberty,has at length been crushed! The iron heel of the autocrat of Russia is on her neck. We give below a brief compendium of the sad news. The intell'gencc from other parts of Europe is of little interest , when placed by the side of tiiis. Fall of Hungary. The accounts publish ed in various foreign papers, of the late op erations in Hungary and of the melancholy reverses of the patriots contain many dis crepancies in dates, places, and circumstan ces, and some of the Paris journals discred it the news, but the prevailing impression seems to be that it is true, and that the gal lant Hungarians have lost all for which they have been carrying on an heroic, glorious, but unsuccessful struggle against the coa lition of Austria and Russia. Tiie Vienna accounts, via Warsaw, is, that at Vilagos, on tiie 13th instant, General Georgy, at the head of 30,000 or 40,000 men, laid down his arms, and surrendered to the Russian Mar shal I’askiewitsch, .at discretion. The Ber lin account is, that tiiis took place at Arad, on the 11 tli inst., a:: I that honorable condi tions were granted. It is added that Gen. Bern, at the head of another division of the Hungarians, was defeated on the sth inst., with immense slaughter, according to one account, by Gen. Ilaynau, according to an other, by the combined forces of the Rus sian Gens. Luders and Harford—that Bern, Dcmbinsky and Kossuth, have all fled, that the Hungarian Diet had dissolved itself,and, in short, that Hungary lies at the mercy of j the conquerors. i Os the main fact wc think that there is not the slightest ground for doubt; and we ! shall wait with impatience for all particulars j connected with the negotiation, which has led to the prevention of a further effusion of human blood. Although Georgcy was Dic tator, it docs not appear that lie acted upon , his own judgement alone, for we arc told by the Kolnor Zeitung that Kossuth, Georgcy i and Bom held a council at Arad, when ! Georgcy frankly declared that he had no j hope for Hungary, aud that all further rc- ! sistance was vain. Kossuth and Bern were j for continuing tho war. Georgcy's argu ments were conclusive with a number of Hungarian officers, who insisted upon yield ing to the Uusso-Austrian powers. A great 1 portion of the besieging army at Temcshvar,’ amount to between 30,000 and 40,000 men. also were in favor of submission. These de- \ monstrations heing made in so unreserve l j and unequivocal a manner left Georgcy no ] alternative but to open negotiations for! peace, which were gladly accecdod to by the j Russian Commander in Chief. Kossuth, ta king with him the insignia of the Hungari an empire, immediately quitted Arad with ! tho view of crossing the Turkish frontier, in company with Bern, Demhinsky, Guyon, and other leading chiefs of the abandoned cause. It docs not appear, that n regular direct communication has been yet re-established with l’esth. The Magyars still maintain their ground in the Scliutt, and their out- j posts arc in Bos. General Czrich was in l’resburg on the 10th, and the battalions sent suddenly in the Schntt defiled before j him. These troops, however, were present- j ly countermanded, and sent to Raab. The Peace Congress. At the first meet ing of the peace congress, on Wednesday, in , the great Hall of St. Cecilleon, Chansscc dc , Antcm, about lf>oo persons were present, I the celebrated Victor Hugo in the chair. The I flags of all nation adorned the hall. The! tars and stripes of the United States occu- i ©£\l!!!l a pied a conspicuous position, floating side by ; side with the tri colors of France and the English union jack. Mr. Cobden and bis party wove received with becoming applause, and the American gentleman were saluted with enthusiastic cheers. Names of par ties who gave in their adhesion to the prin ciples of flic congress were read, and then M. Victor lingo read hisapcoeli amidst im mense applause. It is described as an ex quisite piece of composition, repieto with the most benevolent sentiments. It is understood that the French govern ment have expressly forbidden speakers from making any illusion to passing pol itics. General intelligence. The great topic of the day is tho Secret Expedition. The following disclosures are made by the New York papers, of what is being said and done in that city in relation to the mytscrious movement. Rumors were current, at the latest dates, that several vessels had been seized and detained by the government, for an alledgcd violation of our neutrality laws, in conveying men and mu nitions of war, intended to be used for the invasion of Cuba, “ The Stent Expedition. The public in terest in tliis expedition continues to in crease daily. Whatever may be its desti nation —whether Cuba, Riera Madro, or California—one tiling is now pretty well as certained, and that is, that it is a ‘ hona fide’ enterprise, and not a sham, as many supposed. There are highly respectable men at the head of it, several of them offi cers of the United States army.—hast even ing, pursuant to adjournment a hasty meet- : ing was held, and immediately after ad journed till this evening—after the officers’ collecting the enlisted in groups in the cor ners of the room, and giving them instruc tions only intended for their own oars. It is stated that they adjourn to other places, more retired, and that this public mooting is but a cover; though muskets and bayo nets may he occasionally seen there. “ It is quite evident, indeed, that it is not in Lafayette Hall tho business of the expo- i dition is really done. It is done outside. We have ascertained that fifteen hundred men have been already enlisted, of which five companies have set out—none can tell where. One thing has been ascertained, and that, is, that they went to New Jersey from New York It is said they proceeded to Philadelphia thence ; hut that is by no means certain. We know a gentleman who received a letter from one of them the day ha wont, in which he bade him farewell, but said lie could not tell him his route or des tination at present. Agents are out in all directions enlisting men. Johnny Watson boasts he lias enlisted a large proportion of the expedition. “ On Monday evening, Capt. Call’s com pany, numbering sixty-five, met at the Montgomery Ilall, Prince street, where they received private instructions from their of ficer. Among other distinguished officers, arc Col. Carlington, who stands very high in command, and Col. Oarr. We know the head-quarters of tln.se officers, and that they arc in constant communication with Havanna merchants, who somehow or oth er, happen to be here just now. Some of these gentleman have been at the meetings, and may easily be distinguished by their complexion, dress and moustache. All these men seem earnest and serious. You will seldom see them smile. They evidently feel sensible of the responsibility that rests upon them. A rumor gained pretty exten sive circulation last evening late, that the ship in which the remainder of the 1-500 men were to sail, was seize! by order of the Uni ted States government; but from all the en quiries we afterwards made, we did not find i it confirmed. We believe, however, there is no doubt that a revenue cutter with four guns, is watching the movements of the ex peditionists, but bow she can legally pre vent any vessel sailing out of this port for California, Cuba, or Mexico, or any other part of tho world, we arc at a loss to know. Further, we doubt that a revenue cutter I would be able to prevent the sailing of the ! adventurers.” Important from Cuba. The steamer j “ Queen,” arrived at Mobile, brings advi ces from Havanna to tbe 29th ultimo. Tbe letters to the Delta say that great excite ment prevails throughout the 1-land of Cu i ba—that tbe Captain General has ordered ! out 4,000 troops, and sent a large number to Principe, Trinidad, und St. Jago, which towns arc said to be in a state of insurrec tion. The English Consul has sent to Jamaica for more troops to protect British property on the Island. Tho Cuba papers say nothing of any in surrection, and attribute the military move ments to tho proclamation of our Presi dent. —— (Dur Contemporaries. The Temperance Banner. PeafieiJ, Ga : Beuj.
