Mr. Clisbv : Dear "Sir.—The dirge of Adonis, a favorite of the goddess Venus, is, in the Greek Lan guage, one of tho finest pieces of elegiac writ ing extant. I have attempted to translate a portion of it into English. If you deem it suitable to your columns, please insert it in the Telegraph. Tbe inimitable original—whose spirit I have sought to preserve, in a small degree, in an English dress—is from the pen of the refined and tender Bion, an Asiatic Greek. * Very Respectfully Yours. J. R. Dasforth. Adonis I with tears lament, And all the Loves their sorrows vent. Adonis on tbe mountaiu wild Reclines,—his snowy thigh defiled With dust, and red with streaming gore. Shed by the tusk of savage boar. The dark blood gurgles o'er his lior.bs, Iu death his dull eye, misty, swims ; And fades the rose on his pale cheek; And loudly bursts sad Venus’s shriek. Soon as, extended on the plain. Her beautiful Adonis slain The goddess’ gentle eye beheld. By mingled grief and lore impelled. She thither flew; with nimble feet. “ Adonis, ah! thy Venus greet Yet once again,” she wildly said. “ Ah, raise, dev youth, thy drooping head ! In this unheaving, gory breast. By faithfal Cytherea * pressed. Shall warm affection glow no more ! Is love's bright dream so evly o’er T” She ceases not her kiss, her sigh. Though, on cold lips, her kisses die. our institutions), it would have been best for us.— But now if we can rule in the Union, let us remain. By the word rule, he did not mean the securing high office to Southern men The achievement of success in elections is insignificant in comparison with the establishment of those great principles of free gov ernment on which the South has fixed its stamp— those true and just principles which should govern the world. The United States now stands in the first rank of nations. To obtain this position out of the Union, the South would require many years. Mr. Hammond then took up Senator Seward’s re mark, that the battle of tbe sections was fought and won in 1850. He admitted that a battle had been fought between the sections and lost to the South. There our own internal resources and the achievement of] tress looked, we thought, sadly around at the “I her hand on rt.ol.igl,.

It is neither a red nor a blue sea; but emphatically green—yes, green, of the most brilliant kind I ever saw.

By H. Bonar, D. D. A Hen Story.—'The editor of tbe Haverhill Banner tells the following story of one of his hens : “Our rose bushes having been infes ted with rose bugs, we called an old yellow hen, who was very tame, and shook the bush es for her benefit. This was twice repeated, and the other day we saw her reaching up to get the bugs which were on the leaves. But finding them out of her reach, she vcry dclib- erally took the bush in her bill, shook it with all her strength and then picked up the rose bugs that fell in large numbers.” Manufactures at the South.—The ex tent to which manufactures have been intro duced at the South is not generally apprecia ted. In Georgia, alone, there arc more than sixty cotton factories, while in other States, particularly Alabamaand Louisiana, such fac tories are being continually erected. I he southern manufacturer will, perhaps, not be able to compete with tbe East in the manufac ture of prints and the finer fabrics of cotton goods, nor will it be to his interest to attempt it. But in heavy goods, yarns. &c-, in wh ch the material consumed is the chief value, he ought to be able to rise above all formidable competition. ** Oh, stay, Adonis, loved Adonis, stay! On life's I,leak shore, ah, linger—linger yot. Thy Venus—oh, to hideous decay Thy graceful form, by odious n orms beset, How esn aha yield ? All desolate and faint, Around thy suowy neck, my nerveless arms I feebly fling, and gasp my mournful plaint, And gaze upon thy swiftly fading charms.

Thou stern end euvage Kingof dismal hell All, why was Cytherca goddess-born. Incapable to die, and doomed to dwell From my Adonis, far—bereaved, forlorn? Ah, dreadful Proserpine, to thee descend All noble things, ail precious things and fair. And thou, thriced loved Adonis, thou must spend Thy youth, in sad. eternal exile there.” Ah Cytherea, pour tbe swelling tear. Thy fair Adonis dead—his winning voice No more upon the lonely hills, thine ear Shall catch, thy heart beneath his smile rejoice. * A name for Venus. July 27th, 1838. Senator Ilainsuond’s Beech Island SPEECH. We copy from the Charleston Mercury of the 2Gth ult., the following synopsis of Sena tor Hammond’s Beech Island Speech. The high position which Gov. Hammond is destin ed to fill in the politics, not of South Carolina alone, but of the country at large, gives a pe culiar interest to this his first public demon stration and deliberate exposition of his opin ions since he entered his senatorial career. We are glad to see it is a hopeful, courageous, manly, and Union Speech,'so far as the pres ent policy of South Carolina and the South is concerned. While it admits dauger and the necessity of constant watchfulness and prep aration, it is full of hope for the successful maintainance of our rights under the Federal Constitution and in the Union established by our patriotic sires. Senator Hammond then came forward, in themidat of enthusiastic chesting, aud addressed tbe nssem blage for the space of an hour. Ho alluded to the grateful pleasure it gave him to be in the midst of bis friends. Among them he hnd spent nearly the whole of his manhood. He had lived as their co- Iaborer in the obscure fields of agriculture, and was yet ardentlv attached to their company and to the absorbing toils of the field. It wus known that, when called by the voices of many in tho State to leAve his peaceful avocation of agriculture, he was loth to relinquish bis labors; in fact, be had almost an aversion to being taken from the haudlea of the plough, as it were, and placed by his beloved State in the august conncil of the confederacy of this vast nation—a council in tbo keeping of whose wisdom and power was all the honor and safety of our coun try : a council composed of the elite ofthe land's in telligence, and equal to that of any other country in the world. Taken somewhat unprepared, on this occasion, while fueling the arduous duties and labors of tbe last six months, and returning home to enjoy rural quiet, he was not forgetful of tbe esteem of his friends and the complimentary allusions to his sorvi- ces. These he would accept aa the evidence of good will on their pait, rather than any great merit on his He would frankly say he was no orator. Orators arc- not, like poets, born; they are made by practice and bo was not skilled in the consummate art. For twenty years be had been devoted to agriculture, and agriculture aud oratory were not in the same line of pursuit. He would, therefore, make but a plain speech, giving an account of his stewardship and the results of his observations. When be went to tlio federal Congress six months ago, he found the admission of Kansas, under the Lecomptnn Constitution, the all-absorbing and ex- citing subject before the representatives of the peo ple aud the government. To him tho whole theory and schema of squatter sovereignty was a matter of disgust. The Kansas-Nebraska bill was a delusion and deception from the beginning. He felt satisfied that on tbit basis the South would never unite. The President piead and tried to do bis best. North and Sonth; but it was evident that it was nsubject fraught with trouble. He (Mr. H.) was ever opposed to this Kansas-Nebraska bill; aud if there was a single good feature iu it, it waa that it allowed the people, free from interference, to frame principles for them selves after their own fashion. It was a snare to those at the South. It was rotten with fraud, and those who made it fiiuched from its consequences. Its only effect was to add another State to the Union; His hearers knew that Kansas, so far aa Congress can admit it, w^s now admitted, will the Lecompton Constitution, aud without the Green proviso. Mr. H. reviewing briefly the admission of Kansas, under the Conference bill, questioned if Congress can call a State Convention, and considered it a dangerous pre cedent. He alluded to his own position and that of Mr. Bonham, the Representative of Edgefield. He found no fault with the honorable gentleman. Mr. Bonham may have been right, andhu may have been wrong. If Mr. Bonham erred,his error wasenthe aatc side. He was worthy of all confidence, since he acted from the honesty ot his convictions, and such a man should be honored and cherished by his constituents. Mr. Hammond then alluded to other topics before Congress during the session. He voted for the in crease of the Army and Navy. He had heard a num her of sophomore speerhes against increasing these arms ofthe national defence. They were worthy of college students, rather than grave Senators of tbe uation. He apprehended little dauger from a stand ing army: and, ms to tho extravagance of these measures, he replied to Senatorslhat if the expenses of the departments bad been examined, they would be found double that of the army. The navy ahould be increased, because the South was utterly indefea sible in its present condition. la the port of Char leston there was but one naval ateamer of light draught. The Southern coast needed for it* protec tion a uumcrojs fleet of small vessels. The fact is, our navy was now what it was forty-five years ago, and is in a sad and disgraceful condition. Senator Hammond said he would now address him self to tbegreatquestion of therelations ofthe North and South. He would speak as he tliongbt, and it would give him pleasure lor his hearer* to take what he said in the spirit in which it was uttered. In his opinion there were many gronnda for apprehension at tae South; but there were also strong reasons for hope and confidence. Whatever relatious might From the London Family Herald.

After a ttlo the mistress came in, looking serene and thoughtful, as if she had been comforted by Sugar—Theory ofHigli Prices. The high prices which have rilled for sugar in the last few years have developed some sin gular circumstances in relation to production. It seems to have been the case, judging from the results in the countries of largest con sumption—United States, Great Britain, and France—that the usual influence of high pri ces in diminishing consumption, has not been felt in sugar, since the consumption has been rather increased than otherwise. Thus 1852' was the low year to jugar. New Orleans, (in New York averaging"then $4,84, and Havana brown $5.75.) Prices continued to rise, with some fluctuations, all over the world, until in 1857 New Orleans sugar in New York was $9.04, and Havana $9.69. These prices in dicate the rise all over the world, nevertheless, the consumption of cane sugar in the three coun tries named was in 1852, 807,000, and in 1857 it was 802,000. Thus, at prices nearly doub led, the consumption was greater, apparently, though an immense fall has since taken place, involving much loss and heavy failure in the trade all over the world. The value of the sugar consumed iu the three countries in 1852, was $77,000,000 and in 1857 $160,000,000. This fact is at variance with the theory that high prices diminish consumption. They do so no doubt in some degree, but the mere ad vance in the figures for the sale of an article does not really constitute a high price—the real price consists in the relative ability ofthe buyers. In a time of activity of trade aud impr(yr«4 goucrnl bnolllCM, ttlC til)Hit}’ of Uli consumers to purchase necessaries and com forts is greater, and they do so if the price is higher than it formerly was. In the case of sugar, which is always an accompaniment to other articles, the demand for it depends upon those other articles. The Island of Cuba is the largest consuming country in the world, because its natural and spontaneous supply of fruit is immense, and sugar added to these for preserves becomes an important item of food. So in the Northern United States, the supply of fruits, peaches, strawberries &c., of which it is tbe custom of every family to preserve quan titles every year—When these arc abundant and cheap, the price of the sugar is far less an object than when they are scarce and dear. Thus a basket of peaches weighs about 50 lbs., which will be reduced to 20 lbs. when ready for the sugar, which is used pound for pound. In some years a basket of peachgs can be had for 50c.; in others $5 are given. If sugar is Jjc. and peaches are 50e, the 20 lbs. of pre serves will cost 60c. for the former and $1 for the latter. At the higher prices for the peaches the cost will be $5 for tlie fruit and $1 for the sugar, but when the fruit is dear the sugar is obviously likely to be cheap, and tho reverse. It follows that the condition of the fruit crop has an important relation to the consumption of sugar, whatever may bo its srice. The. use of coffee or tea, hi greater or ess quantities, has also a great influence, and not a less important oue is the use of that ar ticle in drinks of wine or spirits, all of which are affected by other causes than the price of sugar. It follows that the extended use of any and all of these articles throughout Europe | these exercises owing to the i*rg« spaue occupied aud America makes rapid demands upon the >>y other impertout matter. To l.e candid, w* most supply of sugar. In Germany, in particular. As one of the Judges on the occasion, wo inu.-t, say, that the contest l’er the second prize was spiri ted and most difficult to decide. There wete Flour noy, King, Hardeman, Roberts and Kendrick—all good speakers, and all deserving some special mark of distinction—but all could no; he accommodated. The Committee decided that. Messrs. Fldornoy of Ga., and Slaughter of Ain., should divide the honor of the second orize. This aivard we are pleased to say, gave entire satisfaction to tho committee, and was doubtless right and proper.

With the im proved condition of the people, this habit changes to the American custom. The use of sour salads aud sauces in Germany in some degree supplied the want of sweets, aud the custom is changing. The whole consumption is, therefore, rapidly outrunning the supply of cane sugar, of which the production is every where closely restricted by the want of labor In all sugar raising countries the cry goes up for labor. • The British West Indies have been confessedly ruined for the want of it. The de mand for it in Cuba has fed the sla7e trade in spite of all efforts to restrain it. A rise in the value of a hhd. of sugar is always au extra premium for a hand. The Brazils have al most abandoned sugar raising for want of hands. The Mauritius and Reuuiou lost large quan tities of cane last year, because there were no hands to harvest. In Louisiana the effect of the same cause is self evident. The use of beet root sugar is not amenable to the same difficulties. It is as good a paying crop as the farmer can have, and is not restricted for want of labor. Sorghum will not produce sugar profitably, but it will distill to greater profit than beet root, leaving that article free for su gar making. Chemistry is, however, busy with a new effort at transmutation, with much promise of success. The famous chemist, M. Braconnet, of Nancy, has succeeded by the help of sulphuric acid iu transmuting certain woods, straw, hemp aud flax into sugar, pound for pound, but not of a quality that will gran ulate. There is every hope from wlia.t has been done that science may yet enable a house keeper to fill his sugar bowl from his old straw beds, and convert the baskets in which fruit has been kept into sugar to preserve them.— U. iS'.
