LAURENCE Ass’r, Sc CoL July 19. 03L ©A* t* 3359, FROST£tTTS OF TIIE SOUTHER* LITERAL MESSENGER. rfillJLS is a monthly Magazine, devoted -I- chiefly to Litkraturl, but occasion ally finding room also for articles tlia fail within the scope ol Science ; and not pro essing an entire disdain of tasteful selections, though its malter has been, a.- it will con tinue to be, in the main, original. Party Polities, and controversial rPtieol ouy, as tar as possible, are jealously exclu ded. They are sometimes so blended with discussions in literature or in moral sci ence, otherwise unobjectionable, as to gain admittance for the sake of the more valu able matter to which they adhere: bu' whenever that happens they are i.ieiUrntal, only, not primary. They are dross, tolera ted only because it cannot well be severed from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor porated. Reviews and Critical.' Notices, occu py their duo space in the work; audit is the Editor’s aim that they should have a three fold tendency—to convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths or interesting in cidents a> are embodied in the works re viewed,—to direct the readers attention to books that deserve to be read—and to ware him against wasting time and money upon that large number, which merit only to be burned. In this age of publications that by their variety and multitude, distract and q venvhelmn every undiscriminating student, impartial criticism, governed by the views just mentioned, is one of the most inesti mable and indispensable ofauxiliaries to him who does wish to discriminate. Essays and Tales, having in view utility or amusement, or both ; Historical sket ches—and Reminise.vces of events 100 min ute for History, yet elucidating it, and heightning its interest—may be regarded as forming the staple of the work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is publish ed—sometimes of no mean strain—to man ifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talentwxif our country. The times appear, for several reasons, to demand such a work—and not one alone, but inanyt Tha public mind is feverish and irritated still, from recent political strifes i The soft, ’assuasive influence of Lit erature is noede i, to allay that fever, and soothe that irritation. ' Vice and tolly are rioting abroad :—They should be driven by indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, in (o their fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it ovo)- tin' immense proportion of our peo pie:—Every spring'should be set in motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to increase their number; «o that the great enemy of popular government may no longer brood, like a portentous cloud, over the destinies of our country. Vud to accomplish all these ends, what more powerful agent can be employed, than a periodical on the plan of the’Messenger; if that plan be but car ried out in 'practice ? ' The South peculiarly requires such an agent. In all the Union, south of Washing ton, there arc but two Literary periodicals: Northward of that city, -there ire probably at least twenty-five or thirty 5 Is this con trast justified by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or the aetual literary taste of the Southern people, compared with those of the Northern ! No: for in wealth, talents and taste, we may justly claim, at ledst, an equality with our brethren »nd a domestic institution exclusively onr own, beyond all doubt, a fords us, ii we choose, twice th ; leisure for reading and writing which they enjoy. It was from a deep sense of this local want th ii the word Southern was engrafted on this periodical: and not with any design to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate sup posed local inte ests. Far from any such thought, it is the Editor’s fervent wish, to see me North and South bound endearing ly together, forever, in the silken bands ol mutual kindness and affection. Far from meditating hostility to the north, lie lias al ready drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest matter thence; and happy indeed will he deem himself, should his piges, by making each region know the other better contribute in anv es septia! degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaten the peace ot both, and to brighten mrl strengthen the sacred ties of fraternal love. The Southern Literary Messenger has now been inexistence four years—the pre sent No commencing the fifth volume. How far it has acted out the ideas here ut tered, is not for the Editor to say; he be lieves, however, that it falls not turther short of them, than human weakness usually makes Practice fall short of Theory. CONDITIONS. 1. The Southern Literary Messenger is published in monthly numbers, of 64 large superroyal octavo pages each, on the best of paper, and neatly covered, at $5 a year— payable in advance. 2. Or five new subscribers, by sending thcii names and S2O at one time to the edi tor, will receive their copies for one year, for that sum, or at $4 for each. .3.

Subscriptions must commence with tiie be ginning of the volume, and will not be ta ken for less than a year's publication. 5. The mutual obligations of the publish er and subscriber, for the year, are fully in curred as soon as the first number of the volume is issued : and after rhat time, no discontinuance of » subscription will be permitted. Nor will a subscription be dis continued for any earlier notice, while yna thing thereon remains due, unless at the option of the Editor.

Ex Pep. I'n :-,oi GRIZET. COCHRANE. a tali: or tweedmobth moor. U heu the tyranny and bigot y of the las* Janies diove l is subjects to take up arms against him, one of the most fomiklahle i neinies to his dangerous usurpations was ■ Sir John Cochrane, ancestor of the present earl of Dmidonnhl. He was one of the | most prominent actors in Argyle's rebellion, ami for ages a settled gloom seemed to have hung over the house of Campbell, enveln ping in a common ruin all who united flier fortunes in the cause of Hu chieftains. Tim same doom encompassed Sir John Cocli ram . He was surrrounded by the King’s troops—lone, deadly, and desparati was his resistance but at length, overpower ed by numbers he was taken prisoner, tried, and condemned to die upon the scaffold. He had hut a few days to live, and his jailor waited but the arrival of his death warrant to lead him forth to execution. llis farnih ami his friends had visi ed him in prison, and exchanged with him the last, long, hearty earning farewell. But tune was one who came not with the rest to receive his blessing-—one who was the pride of his eye, and of his house -even Grizel. the daugher ot Ins love. 'Twilight was casting a deeper gloom over the gratings of his prison-house, he was mourning for a last look of his favorite child, and his head was pressed against the told damp walls of his cell to cool the feverish pulsations that shot through it like stings ol fire, w hen the door of the apartment turned slowly on its un wieldly hinges, and his keeper entered fol lowed by a young and beautiful lady. Her person was tali and commanding; her eyes dark . bright, tu:d tearless; but their very brightness spoke sorrow—of sorrow too deep to be wept away ; and her raven tres ses w ere parted ovt r an open blow, clear ami pure as the polished marble. 'J’he un happy' captive raised his head, and they en ter..!— •My child ! my own Gri/.el ! f liefcgclnimed and she fell upon his bosom. ‘My father! my dear father!’ sobbed the miserable maiden, and she brushed away the tear that accompanied the words. ‘J our interview must be short, very short.’ said the jailor, is lie turned and left them for a lew minuus together. ‘God help and comlort thee, my daugh ter!’ added the unhappy father, as lie held her to his breast, and printed a kiss upon her brow. ‘1 had feared that I should die without bpstowing my blessing on ihe heed of my own child, and that stung me more than death; — tlisu art come, my loye—-thou art come! and the last blessing of thy wretched father^- ‘Nay! forbear!’she exclaimed, not thy last blessing!—not lliy fist!—My father shall not die !’ ‘Be calm! be calm, my child !’ returned lie, ‘would to heaven that I could com fort thee—my own ! my own • Bui here is no hope—within ihrec days and thou and ill my little ones will be’—Fathcrlesss he would have said, b’t the words died on his tongue, ,r I luee days! repeated she, raising her head horn his breast, but eagerly pressing his hand—'my lather shall live!—ls not my graud-father the friend of father Petre, I he confessor and the master of the King , • roni him he shall beg the life of his son, ai.d my father shall not die.’ ‘Nay nay, my Grizel,’returned he ‘he not deceived,there is no hope—alremiy my doom is scaled-—already the King lias signed the order lor my executiou, and the messenger of death is now on the wav.’ et my father shall not ! shall not did’ she repeated, emphatically, and clasping her li'uius together. ‘Heaven speed a daughter’s’ purpose she exclaimed; and, turning to her father, said calmly—‘we part now, but we shall meet again.’ •What would my child?’ inquired he eagerly, gazing anxiously on her lace. ‘Ask not now, she replied, inv father ask not now; but pray for me, and blessing.’ He again pressed her lo his heart, and wept upon her neck. In a l*w moments the jailor entered, and they were torn from the arms of each other. On the evening of the second day after the interview, we have mentioned a way faring man, crossed 1 the drawbridge at Ber wick, (roin the north, and proceeding down Marygate, sat down to rest upon a bench by the door of an hostelery on the south side of the street, nearly fronting ivliere what was called the ‘Main guard* then stood. He did not cn'er i lie inn ; for it was above his appirent condition, being that which Oliver Ciomwell had made his head quarters a few ygars before, and where at some earlier period, James the Sixth had taken up his residence when on his wav to enter on the sovreignty of England. The traveller wore a coarse jerkin, fastened round his body by leathe n girdle, and over a small cloak, com posed of equally plain materials. He was evidently a young man, but his beaver was drawn down, so as almost to conceal lus features. In the one hand he carriedj a small bundle, and in the other a pilgrim’s stall. Having called for a glass of wine, he took a crust of bread from his bundle, and after resting for a few minutes, rose to de part. The shades of night w ere setting in, and it threatened to be a night of storms. The heavens were gathering black.the clouds rushing from the sea. sudden gusts of wind were moaning along the streets,accompanied by heavy droj s <d rain, and tlujface of the Tweed was troubled. ‘Heaven help thee, if tliou intendest to travel far in such a night as tiiis ?’ said the sen tinel at the English gate, as the traveller pas sed him and proceeded to cross the bridge. In a lew minutes he was upon the borders of the wide, desolate, and dreary moor of Tweedmouth, which for miles, presented a desert of whins, sere, and itunted heath, with here aad there a dingle coveted with im at* thick brushwood. lie slowly toiled over the deep hill, braving the stomi which low raged in wildest lury. r i he rain fell iu lor-, reins, and the w>ail howled as a legion of lanusheii wolves, hiiiliug its dolHul and angry echoes over the heath. Still the stranger pushed onward, until he proceeded two or t: ree irrrles limn Lerwick, when, as il unable longer to brave the storm, he sought slit her an Hst crab and bran.file bii-hcs by tiie waytide. Nearly an lour had | asset! since he sought this imperlcct refuge, aud the darkness ofthe night and tire storm bail increased together, when the sound ol horse's teet was heard hurriedly splashinga ong tiie road. The ruler befit his head to the bias*. Suddenly his horse was grasped by the bridle, the r rfer ym sed his iieatl, and the traveller stood before him, I holding n pistol to bis breast’. •Dismount!’ cried the stranger, sternly. * ‘The horse it an. benumbed anti stiickenetl with fear, made an effort lo leach his turns; but, in a moment, the hand ot the robber# quitting the bridle, grasped the breast of the ■ ider. and dragged him to the ground. He fi II heavily on his faoe and for several niin les rein,.ined senseless. r l he stranger eizedtbe leathern bag w hich contained tho mail for the,north, and flinging il ou bug shoulder,, rushed across tiie heath. Early cn the following morning, the in habitants ol Berwick were seen hurrying in groups to the spot where the robbery had been committed, and v ere scattered in i very -direction arop.nd.the moor, -but no trace of the robbery could he obtained. *fhree days had passed, and Sir John Cochrane yet lived. r l he mail which con tained his death warrant had Lien robbed, and before another order for firs execution could be given, the intercession of hisfalhcr, the carl ol Rundonald, with the king’s eon lessor might be succsslul. Grizel now be taine almost bis constant companion in his prison, and s| ok e to liim words ol remtert. Nearlv fourti en days bad (lassrd sii.ee ihe protracted hope in the bosom ol the prisoner became more bit,ter t’ an his first despair, lint even (hi t h> pe, bluer as it vv: s, perished. The interCes-iou of his father had been un suecessful—agd a second tin e the Iq < rod and would be despotic monarch, signed the warrant lor lus death, and within a little mine than another day that warrant would reach his person. ‘The will of heaven be done,’ groaned the captive. 4 J ‘ ■ ‘Amen!’ returned Grizeh with wild ve hemence, ‘but my lathe r shall not dies’ Again ihe rider w ith the mail h id reathed thetnoorol Tweedmouth and a second tinio lie bore with him the doom of Cochrane. ; He spurred his horse to his ustmost speed, he looked cautiously In lore, behind, ant* around him, and in his right hand he car ried a pistol ready to defend himse'f. 'I he moon slieil a ghastly light across the heath, rendering desolation visible, and giving a spiritual embodiment to every shrub. He was turning the angle ot a straggling toipse. when his I orse reared at iVie report ot a pistol, the lire w hich seemed lo dash into its very eves. At .’he seme moment llis own pistol Hashed, and the horse reared more violently, and he was driven from the sad dle. Iri a moment, the foot <,( the robber was upon his breast, who hemline over him, anti brandishing a short dagger in his hand, said, ‘Give me thine arms, or die.’ The heart of the king’s servant failed within him, and, without venturing to reply, he did as he was commanded. •Now, go thy tvay,’ cried the rolbcr sternly, .‘but leave with me the mail—lest a - thing rnme upon line.’ The man therefore arose and proceeded tow ards Berwick, trembling : and tl e robber, mounting the horse which he had left, rode rapidly across the heath. Preparations were making for the execu tion of Sir John Cochrane, the officers ot the law waited only for the arrival of the mail with his second death-warrant, to leatl him forth to the scaffold, and the tidings arrive, that the mail had again been robbed.
