EDITOR'S DEPARTMENT. WM. C. RICHARDS. Editor. D. H. JACQUES, Assistant Editor. atljcns, ©eorjjia: -—ae Saturday Morning,.••••Nov. 10, ISI9. POE AND POETRY. The death of Edgar A. Poe lifts already been noticed, at some length, in our columns. The appearance of a complete edition of his works, which is already announced, will furnish a fit occasion to speak more fully of him and l.is productions. Our principal ob ject in this article, is to call the reader's at tention to two poems, which are probably among the latest productions of his pen.— AVc refer to “ The Bells” and “Annabel Lee.” These poems, which would, by their unique character and real poetic merit, have attracted the attention of the public, under any circumstances, are rendered doubly in teresting by the melancholy fate of their gifted but unfortunate author, “ Whim unmerciful disaster Followed fast and followed faster, Till his songs the burden bore — Till the dirges of his hope, the Melancholy burden bore Os ‘ Nevermore,’ of * Nevermore.* ** A correspondent of the New York Tribune , says that the following poem was presented to him in manuscript, by Mr Toe, just be fore the departure of the latter for the South. It is probably the last poem he ever wrote. It bears unmistakable marks of its author s peculiar tone of thought. The melody of the following stanza is ns perfect as ever came from the wires of a harp, touched by the most skillful fingers : Put our love it was stronger by far than the love Os those who w-re ol ler than wc— Os many far wiser than we— And neither the angels in heaven above, Nor the demons down under the sea, Can ever <liss°ver my soul from the soul Os the beautiful An nabel Lee. Put here is the poem in full. We have italicised several lines which strike us as particularly beautiful : ANNABEL LEE. It was many and many a year ago, la a kingdom by the s a That a mu Men there lived whom you may know By the name of Annabel Lee; And this maiden she lined with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. 7 was a ch'l l and she was a child, In this kingdom by the sea, Put we loVi and with a love that was more than love— I and my Annabel Lee — With a love t hat the winged seraphs of heaven Coveted her and me. And this was the reason that, long ago, In ‘his kingdom by the sea, A wind b’ew out o'’ the cloud, chilling My beautiful Annabel Lee ; So that her highborn kin in in came And b ne her away from me, To shut her up in a sepulchre In this kingdom by the sea. The ange's not half so happy in heaven , Went envying her and rue — Yes !—that was the reason (as a’l men k <>w, In this kingdom by the sea.) That the mind came out of the cloud by night , Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee. Put our love it was stronger by far than the love Os those who were older than wc— Os many far wiser th in we— And neither the angels in heaven above, Nor the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Os the beautiful Annabel Lee. For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams Os the be lutiful Annabel Lee ; And the stars never i but I feel the bright eyes Os tho beautiful Annabel Lee; And so all the night-tide, 1 lie down by the side Os my darling—my darling—my life and my bide, In her sepulchre there by the sea— In her tomb by the s mnding tea. Mr. Poe was the greatest master of the art versification , that this country has ever produced. Let those who are sceptical on this point read and analyze “ The Bells.” We doubt whether the English language can furnish a poem superior to it in the musical flow of its syllables or in that com plete correspondence of sound and sense — of body and spirit, which constitute its prin cipal attractions. The Subject is common place and trite, and the poem contains no thoughts of striking originality. Its power lies in its wonderful melody. We need no better proof of its author's perfect mastery over language and his consummate skill in the arrangement of his words and syllables always the best words and the most music al syllables, than we have before us. ho, that has once enjoyed a “sleigh ride” in the cold star-light of a Northern Wln ter night, does not recognise tlie jingle j of the little hells witli which the horses are ! decorated, in the tinkling music of the first stanza ? How they tinkle. tinkle, tinkle, In the icy air of night ! R hilo the stars t fat o\er-fprii kle All the heaven. 8, a. cm to twinkle With n cr\ sinllinc (h light ; Keeping time, time, time, In a am t of Ilunie rhyme, lo the tintinnabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells, hi Ils, Kells, bells, bells— From thejingling ami the tinkling of the bells. The dominant tone of the word-music changes when we Hearths mellow wedding-bells— (ie’den bells ! And mark the second transition : Hear the loud alarum hells— Brazen bells! IWiat a tale of terror, now, their turbu'ency tells! In the startled car of n ght, I low they scream out their affright! Too much horrified to speak, They can only shriek, shriek, (hit of tune. The extended allitteration which occurs in the third line, adds much to the effective ness of the passage. Once more the tone changes. From the i roar und clangor of a fire-alarm, it passes to th'd slow and solemn vibrations which ring out the dirges of the departed, and we Hear the tolling of the bulls— lroi. bell*! What a world of solemn thought their monody compels. But we are making our article longer than we intended, and will close by copying entire this unique and wonderful poem. It will not be new to all our readers, but none, ( we think, will be sorry to find it here. * THE BELLS. Hear the sledge* with the bells— Silver bells! What a world of merriment their melody fore tells ! How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, In the icy air of night ! While the stars that oversprinkle All the heave;.s, seem to twinkle With a crystalline delight; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the tintinabul.it o i that so musically wells From the belts, b lls, bells, bells, Bells bells, bells — From the jingling and the tinkling of the bell*. Hear the mellow wedding bells — Golden b lls! What a world of happiness their harmony fore tells ! Through ‘he balmy air of night How they ring out their delight!— From the molten-golden notes, And all in tune, Wh.it a liquid ditty floats To the turtle dove that listens, while she gloats On the moon! ( )h, from out the sounding cells, What a gush of euphony voluminously wells ! Ilow it swells! flow it dwells On the Future—how it tells Os the rapture that impels To the swinging and the ringing Os the hells, bells, bells- Ofthe bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells— To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells! Hear tne loud a'arutn bells— Braz< n he’ls! What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells ! In the startled ear of ni .ht ilow th-y scream out their affright! Too much horrified to speak, They ran only shriek, shriek, Out of tune, I In a clamorous . pj e ding to the mercy of the fire, In a mad expostulation with tLe deaf and frantic fire. Leaping higher, higher, higher, With a desperate desire, And a resolute end avor N< w—now to sit, or never, By the fide of the pale faced moon, Oh, the bulls, bulls, bells! V/hat a tale their terror tells Os Despair! Ilow they clang, and clash, and roar! What a horror th y outpour On the besom of the palpitating air! Yet the ear, it fully knows, By the twanging And the cla ging, Ilow the danger < bbs and flows ; Yet the ear distinctly tells, In the jangling And the wrai gling, ilow the danger sinks and swells, 1 By the sinking or swelling in the anger of the bells— Os t lie bells— Os the bells, bells, b lls, bells, Bells, Bills, bells— In the clamor and the clangor of the bells! Hear the tolling of the bell:— Iron bells ! What a world of solemn thought their monody compels ! In the sile ce of the night, Ilow we shiver with affright At the melancholy menace of their tone! For every sound that floats From the rust within their throats Is a g oan. And the people—ah, the people— They that dwell up in the steeple, A 1 ab-nc. And who, tolling, tolling, tolling, In that imitlled monotone, Feel a glory in so rolling On lhe human heart a stone — They are neither man nor woman— They are neith rb:ute nor human— They are Ghouls:— And their ki g it is who tolls : And he rolis, rolls, rolls, Rolls A pann from the belli ! And his merry bosom swells With the pa; in of the b -lls ! And he dances, and be yells; Keeping tim -, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the pa; in of the bells— Os the bells Keeping time, time, time, lu a sort of Runie rhyme, To the throbbing of the bells— Os the bells, bells, b 1U— To the sobbing of the bells: — Keeping time, time, time, A- he k. e 1--, kti -lls. knells, * In-a happy Runic rhyme. To the rolling of the bells — Os the bells, bells, bells : To the tolling of tho bells— Os the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, belL. bells— To Mic moaning and the groaning of the bells. THE LAGRANGE FEMALE SEM INARY. A beautifully printed catalogue of this Institution is before us, affording both ex j ternal and internal evidence of the prosper ity of the school. We are truly happy to perceive indications of progress in female | education in the South, and we congratulate the excellent principal of the LaG range Fe ! male Seminary upon his advanced position in the good work. Glancing at the cata ; logue, we perceive that the school lias seven teachers and one hundred and twenty-two pupils. With several of the former we have an intimate acquaintance, which warrants us in declaring that they are cmiueutly qualified for their position. The music department is under the con trol of Professor Chase—a gentleman of great merit, and a teacher of high reputa tion. The course of study is liberal and judicious, and tlic expenses of all kinds very moderate. When the health and social ad vantages of LaG range arc considered in connection with the excellence of the Insti tution, it must seetn a most inviting and at tractive establishment, and we most cordial ly recommend it to the patronage of those wueat ©laitsio who aim high in the education of their daughters. DESERET. The Mormons are a strange people. Their achievements at Nnuvoo demonstrated this. 1 Compelled to leave their city and temple there, they pushed boldly westward, and established themselves far beyond the bounds of civilization, on the borders of the great Salt Lake. And now what do we be hold ? Within the space of three years they have built anew city, made a wild, barren country to bud and blossom as the rose, es tablished manufactures and commerce, or ganized a regular government, with a sin gularly wise and liberal Constitution, and at the next meeting of Congress they will apply for the admission of their new State of Deseret, into the Union. Show us a par ! allel to this! Religious enthusiasm lias doubtless been 1 the great motive power in this wonderful enterprise, and Associated Interests the j means by which so much has been accom plished. Individual effort could never have compassed such gigantic results. There has been unity in design and in execution throughout. The name of this now State—Deseret —is said to signify, according to Mormon inter pretation, “ honey bee,” and is suggestive of associated industry. The Constitution, which was framed in the City of the Great Salt Lake, on the sth of March, 1849, for bids tlie passage of any law on the subject of religion, and is free from any tiling like rant, fanaticism or religious prejudice. — Thus these Mormons, the wildest fanatics, and the most visionary enthusiasts on the subject of religion, that the world has ever seen, in politics and in business have shown themselves in the highest degree shrewd and practical men. We see no reason why j the new State should not be admitted at j once into the Union. The future destiny of Deseret, who can foresee? It presents political, social and religious phenomena entirely unique in their character and manifestations, and worthy of the study of the Philosopher. * ©itr ©ossip Column. A Mahoraedan Heaven. Evlea Effendi says: “It is known by the Traditions that the Prophet being asked what the Faithful would duin Paradise, an swered, We shall eat and drink, and dally with boys and Ilouris, and shoot with ar rows. This exercise being the favorite ex ercise of the Prophet, the Infidels never could make any progress therein.” Madmoselle Rachel. On dit that the great Tragic Actress Ra chel is about to visit the United States. — Look well to your French, ladies and gentle men, that you may be able fully to enjoy the classic strains of Racine. The Tunnel. No public enterprise in our State has in terested us mire deeply than the tunnel on the State Rail Road—and it is with sincere gratification that wc record the triumph of Science and Art in the union of the two lines of excavation. This happy event took place on the last day of October, and created no small degree of enthusiasm among those who had been so long toiling eagerly and arduously for its consummation. Our space will not allow us to say more of this great work at present, than that is an honor to the State—to the enterprising contractors, Messrs. Grey, and to chief engineer Mitch ell, under whose vigilant eye it has been brought to so successful anil early an issue. We intend, if possible, about the first of January next to pass through it, and shall then find botli an occasion and a motive to give our readers a detailed account of the work. Curious Magnetic Repu’sion. It is related upon the authority of Voigt, | that the common horse-fly is always repelled i by the loadstone or artificial magnet, and | that it is never seen to settle in close prox imity to-it. If this be a fact in philosophy, !it is certainly a curious one. Will our read j ers assist us in observations, that the truth lor fallacy of the proposition may be deter mined ? No More. At a recent business meeting of a certain society, the committee on finance was called upon for consultation and report. The committee was composed of three members one of whom, named Moore, was absent.— | The chairman of the committee therefore I informed the presiding officer that two of the committee were present, but no Moore ! The College 8011. At ft convivial party held some years since by a number of under graduates in College, the President of the feast called upon each person present to toast his favorite belle —whereupon one of them, no ted for liis bookish propensities, very grave ly proposed, in his turn, “ The College Bell!” More Cariosities. A cheese made of “the milk of human kindness.” One of “the traces of sorrow.” [The : other anxiously wanted .] The point of the “ sting of remorse.” The egg resulting from “ The Lay of the Last Minstrel.” The “ last quarter” of the spendthrift moon.

Philadelphia: Carey & Hart 1849. ; Narratives of voyages and travels can I hardly he otherwise than interesting, though they may add little to our fund of knowledge concerning the countries and cities visited by the narrator. Talcs of foreign lands and of foreign manners of customs, never weary us. The decree of interest with which we listen to them or read them de ! pends, of course, in a great measure, upon the mannor in which they are told. Tho author of the work before us was at tached to our Pacific Squadron, in the ca pacity of Fleet Surgeon, and visited Rio, Valparaiso, Callao, Lima, the Marquesas, Hawaii, Honolulu, Monterey, Maiatlan and other places, and hail unusual facilities for acquiring a knowledge of men and thing in those interesting places. Many of his sketches are quite graphic and arc replete with interest. We were particularly pleas ed with his descriptions of what he saw in Callao and Lima and with the life-like pic tures he lias given us of persons and places in California. The work is well written hut, in some portions, rather meagre and unsatisfactory in its details. The generftl A-cador will, however, find much in it that will repay a careful perusal. * Frank Forrester’s Fish and Fishino of the United States, and British Provinces of North America. Illustrated from Nature, by the Author. By Wm. Henry Herbert. In one vol Bvo New York: Stringer & Town-end. Wc have examined Mr. Herbert's beauti ful volume with much care and interest, and arc prepared to pronounce a most favorable verdict upon its merits. It is one of the most attractive books of the season —and possesses a vast fund of valuable informa tion in the department of icthyology. The author lias made as nearly a perfect book of its kind, ns a first edition could possibly lie. It comprises almost every variety of fish in the waters of this western world, and the most prominent varieties are illus trated by highly finished engravings. The work is arranged with great care and em bodies in addition to the writer’s extensive knowledge, the most authentic information furnished by American naturalists. It is a book for the student, the naturalist, and the angler. Mr. Forrester is a true disci ple of worthy Isaac Walton, mid there are few fishermen, we apprehend, but could take lessons of him most advantageously. Many a pleasant anecdote beguiles the attention of the reader in the raidst of sci entific details, and it is far better sport to read Frank’s graphic pages tlun to sit upon the edge of a brook when the trout will not be persuaded to rise to your fly. It is a worthy companion to the author’s “ Field Sports,” certainly a book quite sui generis, and deservedly popular. The pub lishers have done their part as handsomely as “ Frank Forrester” has performed his— making the book, in all particulars, unex ceptionable. Hayni.s’ American Baptist Almanac, for 1850. < h ulestoa: S.iinu 1 Hart, Sr. This Almanac is edited by Rev. T. W. Haynes of South Carolina, and contains be sides the usual Calendar, many important statistics of the Baptist Church. It is, of course, of peculiar value to all those inter ested in the history and condition of that branch of Zion. It can bi had at the very low price of 0 cents, or Soper hundred. Mother Goose in llkek olyi'Hics. Philadel phia: Geo. S. Appht in. Some of our grave readers may he inclined to wonder that we should notice so insignifi cant a book as “ Mothei Goose;” but we beg them to recall the days of their child hood when if that veritable and wonderful chronicle did not charm tiem, we can't con ceive of what sort of stuff they were made. The edition before us is made up of words and pictures—thus not oily delighting the fancy of the child, but taxing its ingenuity to make out the meaning of the symbols.— It is a very pretty and a very popular little volume. ©uv Contemporaries. Holden's Magazine. New York i Wm. 11. Diets. Since the death of its worthy and enter prising proprietor ami projector, C. W. Hol den, this magazine has passed into the hands of Mr. Win. H. Dietz, who retains the name by which the work is so well known, and under which it has gained so enviable a reputation. Mr. Dietz promises that the work shall not deteriorate in liis hands, but shall commenco anew volume with addi tional attractions. It will he under the ed itorial charge of Charles F. Briggs, who has been connected with it from the beginning. The November number, which is the first issue under the “ new administration,” does not full behind its predecessors in interest. Sraham's Magazine, November, 1819. l’hila (le phia: S. D Patterson & Cos. We were sorry to miss Graham from our table for several months, and we are glad | to welcome it again—cheerfully accepting j the apology of the Publishers for the mis take hy which its visits were suspended. It has occupied a very high place among the | illustrated monthlies, and was ever a favor- I ite with us. In the number for next month we find much attractive material, both in art and letters, and the Publishers seem determined to run their race of competition with spirit and credit. EUzaCook’s Journal; American Reprint. New York : John Townsend. The announcement that Eliza Cook, the favorite poetess, was about to publish a weekly magazine in London interested us much, and we feel no ordinary gratification in welcoming the American edition to our exchange list. The first monthly part (for September) is before us. It contains 04 pages of closely printed matter, and is sold for 12 1 2 cents, making the annual cost of the work 84,50. At this exceedingly low price it should circulate throughout the Lind—enlightening and enlivening alike the mansion and the cottage. We wish for it a most ample success, because we are sure that it will merit it—a conviction sustained hy the first numbers. Wc shall occasion ally draw upon its pages, if only to whet the edge of appetite in our readers to pos sess the work for themselves. The SautVcm Quarterly Review, for October, 1549 Oh rlc ton: James S. Burges. The welcome of our contemporary is not at all diminished that it comes with com -1 inendable promptitude—and which we re gard as an omen of its prosperity The present issue is decidedly a valuable one, embracing numerous able articles on sub jects of deep interest. A pleasant and scholarly notice of Layard's Nineveh leads “ff the number, and is followed by an arti -1 cle on the Frcc School System in South Car ; olina, of which we shall have something to say on another occasion. A review of La martine’s Girondists will arrest and repay : the attention of the render. [ls it an error lof the press which all through this article, spells the word constituent with an a in the final syllnbly, or arc we to consider it as a now revelation in Orthography ?] Then follow papers on California, The Philosophy of the Beautiful, The Right to Labor, The Geology of South Carolina, The Resources of Alabama, El Buscapie, Recent American Poets—embracing Bayard Taylor, Ralph Hoyt.J. M. Regard and Robert P. Hall, the two latter South Carolinians. The twelfth and closing article is the Industrious Editor's compete! of Book Notices—in which he dashes off witli a free hand, the leading features of half a century of new books and pamphlets. The lit view deserves the earnest and cor dial support of Southern literary men. If there is any praise or virtue in seeking the honor of our own laud—then surely ought we to sustain this work. Blackwood’s Magazine. Reprint fur October.— New York : L. Scott & Cos. The conclusion of “ The Caxtons,” and a continuation of the “ Dies” form the alpha and omega of the present issue. Between these extremes of interest lie sundry at tractive points—prominent among which is tlie pr. gressive “ Story of a Green Hand” —a fine and eloquent paper on Mrs. Somer ville's Physical Geography, and a somewhat earnest view of the state of affairs in Cana da. £l)c tUorttr. The steamer Hibernia arrived at New York, on the 6th instant, but we have as yet, received no news through the mails.— From the rather meagre and unsatisfactory Telegraphic Reports, published in the Char leston papers, we gather the following brief items: The Markets. Cotton had advanced fully one penny per pound, during the two weeks ending on the 19th ult. The sales during that period reached 300,000 bales, being the largest ever known in that market. At the close of the week's business on the 19th ult. Fair Upland was quoted at G 3-8d and Fair Mobile, 6 5-Bd. In Wheat, Corn and Flour there is no material change. The quotations are about the same as at the sailing of the Europa.— Yellow corn is quoted at 275. 6d. to 285.; white at 28s. 6d. a 295. 6d. The market for Tobacco in Europe was very active, and prices were advancing. Political Matters. There is no definite news from Turkey. The general impression is, however, that Russia will not venture to declare war on account of the refusal of the Turkish Government to surrender the Hun garian refugees, who are said to be still in Widdcn. Bern, Deuibinski. and a number of others, have embraced Islamisiu, and joined the Turkish army. Thiers has declared himself, in the French Assembly, decidedly conservative on the subject of Romish affairs. In England nothing had transpired in the political way of an important character.— The Rent Conspiracy in Ireland is said to be still progressing. A treaty has been entered into between Austria and Prussia. Gen. Ilaynau con tinues to control the administration of Hun garian affairs. Rome is still in a most unsettled condition, and beyond these items there is nothing of import to note. Accident on the Georgia Rail Road. The Augusta Constitutionalist of the 4th inst. says: “As the Picayune, a small locomo tive which runs between this City and Bel air, was making her trip yesterday after noon, she met a wood train coming down about four miles from this city. It was on a descending grade, and a curve in the road, and notwithstanding every exertion was used, the two locomotives came in collision. The Picayune was much injured, and the passenger car knocked off the road.—The most melancholy part remains to be stated. A lady (we could not learn her name,) on board of the cars, attempted to jump from it, and in doing so fell on the rail and was so seriously injured that she died shortly after. The other passengers escaped with out injury. slj Sli j'J® © ‘if. THE BHAKSPEARE CALENDAR. Prepared tor Richards’ Weekly Gazette.
