affected Malt ravers, for, as I said before, she iv is unacquainted witii ins real name, and tiiei'e foie tne ominous paragraph did not even ar rest her eye. He took the paper from her, for he wanted mid again to read it: some little word of hope or encouragement must have escape i him. And t.ien Alice dung herself on his breast. “Do not weep,” said he, “Heaven knows I nave sorrow enough of my own ! Mv father is dying ! So kind, so generous, so ndulgent! On God, forgive me ! There, there, compose yourself. You will hear from me in a day or two. ’ He kissed her ; but the kiss was cold and I forced. He iiurrjed away. Ste heard tie I wheels grate on the pebbles. She rushed to f the window ; but that beloved face was not visible. Maltravcrs had drawn the blinds, and thrown himself back to indulge his grid. A moment more, and even the vehicle that bore him away was gone. And before her were the flowers, and the starlighted lawn, and the playful fountain, and the bench where they h is 1 sat in such heartfelt and serene delight. He was gone ; an ! often, oa how often, did Ali e remember that his last words had been uttered in estranged tones —that his last embrace had been without love ! Tlio New-York Mirror. Below will be found the Contents of the New-York Mirror, published on Saturday, the 4th ofNovetmber: This is a weekly quarto, that stands foremost among the literary productions of the day, and has long occu pied that enviable station. A word of praise would be superfluous and unnecessary. We have only to say, for the present, that at its hebdomadal appearance it brings with it the choicest productions of native talent ; enough, of itself, to endear it to every American.

We call the attention of our readers to the Card of the Editor of the Messenger, Mr. Thomas W. White, which will be found below. We hope no Georgian will be found wanting in promptitude, to lend his aid to the foremost literary periodical of the South. (We speak of those who are subscribers to the work.) The Southern Literary Messenger is published in Richmond, Va., monthly. Tt contains 64 large super royal octavo pages each, on the best of paper, and neat- j ly covered, a! $5 a year—payable in advance. We sincerely hope 'hat the attention of the Southern reader will be called to the support of this work, which so highly merits their consideration, and is so richly de serving of their support. A CARD. To the Patrons of the Southern Literary Me -sender. —The startling cost tit which this work ias been established, and is sustained, and the backwardness of nany subscribers in fulfil ling their part of our mutual compact, calls in dispensably for an appeal ; not to their liber al itv—b it to their justice. If punctual pay ments are ever to b(3 necessary, they are pre enxuentlv so in the case of such a publication : p'r-pL/ literary—almost original—and desti tute a** the vital aid which newspapers derive from advertisements. ~ Mv all is nt stake, in this enterprizo. Tt is a venture, stimulated indeed by some hope ol i emolument; but founded largely, also, upon! well warranted exjiectation of rallying South ern talents and Southern public spirit, around j the drooping and well-nigh prostrate ba.ner of Southern Literature. Since it has now acquir ed claims also upon Southern justice,—can it be, that these arc urged in vain ! Subscribers then, who are in arrears—and let them remember that payment is due in ad vancc—will, I trust, without delay, transmit tiie amounts they owe, to me, at Richmond, by, mail, at my risk and cost; taking proper evi dence of the fact and date of mailing, and re taining a memorandum of each note. THOMAS W. WHITE. Richmond, Va., November 4th, 1637. The following remark?, in relation to this matter, we find in the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinei, of the 20th insiant, which we give our readers, in preference to any of our own : The November number of this beautiful and excellent periodical (The Southern Literary Messenger) is an exceedingly able and inter esting one—the best that has appeared for some time—and while we earnestly recom mend it to the attention of the public, we re gret that we have not time to devote to it tne critical examination and elucidation of its merits wiiich it so richly deserves. We cannot, How ever, omit to mention the excellent article enti tled “ Miss Marti ncau on Slavery by “ A South-Carol inan which, though we difler from it in one or two minor matters, is one of trie very best periodical papers that we have read for a long time, especially the latter six or seven pages of it, since President Dew’s match less essays on the subject, and partly in the same work. Its perusal alone is worth double the subscription price of the Messenger, to any intelligent and reflecting individual, especially if he be a slave-holder ; and, contracted, lalse, and suicidal indeed, must be the policy or econ omy of that slave-holder wao would hesitate a moment to subscribe for a work which thus triumphantly upholds his dearest interest and character, and those of his country, against the determined slanders of and assaults of the whole civilized world. It is monstrous, disgraceful, abominable, that, in tiie face of t lose things, trie talented, patriotic and indefatigable Editor and Proprietor should have to appeal, as he does in this very number, not merely to the lib erality of the Southern people, but to the justice of his non-paying subscribers, in behalf of such a work. Shame, shame to them, and to the South generally, that a work which has so g eat ly elevated their literary and moral character, at home and abroad, and so nobly vindicates their estimable, but calumniated institutions, should thus be forced to so painful and humili ating a necessity. While the Abolitionists are showering patronage and money upon their vile publications, and some of them from one to ten thousand dollars each annually, to slan der us in the eyes of the world, and undermine the very foundations of our society, we hesitate to patronize a single work which ably and no bly vindicates us—vea, even withhold the mo ney absolutely due to it, and necessary to sus tain its existence! What can we hope from such conduct —such stupid indifference, senseless economy, or heartless ingratitude ? Favor aiid support from God, or respect and regard from man? Surely not. Does either help t ose who will not help themselves ? And what else can sustain us, and our institutions, against the combined power and assaults of the whole civ ized world ? The South must awake from this delusive lethargy, and false, dangerous, des tructive sense of security, or its days are num bered, and its blooming fields and beautiful cit ies will soon be known only among tiie things that were. The 3lin 1 ami the Body. Oh, what a crushing sense of impotence comes over us wiien we feel our frame cannot support our mind. Wiien the hand cannot execute what the soul, active as ever, conceives and desires ! The quick life tied to the dead fori n—tae ideas fresh as immortality, gushing forth rich and golden, and the broken nerves, and aching frame and the weary eyes ! The spirit athirst for liberty and heaven—damning, choking consciousness that we are walled up and prisoned in a dungeon that must be our bur’al place ! Talk not of freedom—there is no such th ug as freedom o a man whose body is the jail—whose infirmities are tiie racks of genius! "auction sales. Rv C. L.

Still Later accounts from Canada—nil go to confirm the probability of War! About nine arrests for high Treason have been made from among the principle citizens. It is expected that the country will soon be declared under martial law. The following is an extract from the New-York Ex press, of the 23d ultimo, which wili shew in some de gree the state of the country near Montreal: The houses and barns by the roadside from which tiie Cavalry had Iteen fired upon in tiieir : retreat, were all found with the doors and win dow shutters nailed up. A careful search Was of course made, but though the fires were ■ still burning in some of them, there were nei jther weapons nor inmates to be found in any. The party then proceeded along the road, find ;ing the houses w til one or two except ions on ly, deserted, and uniformly without arms in , them. Scouts were frequently se#n mounted, and riding down the several concession roads to the main roads; but on sight of the troops, I they uniformly started off* again. An individ- Jual who was met upon the main road, stated that as he had came along lie had seen limn [hereof men, woman and children, leaving the houses along the road, and going off right and left, tie men mostly armed. About six miles from Chambly a man was over taken on the road, armed. When arrested, he admitted that he had turned out to join a party timt was designed to intercept the troops. About a j mile furthr t the Cavalry, who were little in ad vance of ti e main body, gave chase to a party of about 30 armeM horsemen, whom they saw ut some distance before them and who made off immediately at full speed, turning to the left up a Concession road towards the Bel leisle mountain. After a mile and a naif of hard riding, most of them took to the woods, while the remainder made their escape along the road. A company of the infantry coming up, were then ordered to the bush, tiie Cavalry being drawn up along the edge to cut olFsucu as might be driven out. Some twenty or thirty shots were exchanged —with what effect on the reliefs is not, known: and two prisoners named Mongeau, father and son, and four horses, were taken. No eof the soldiers w ere hurt. The elder Mongeau, when taken, was armed with a horse pistol, the younger with a fusee. Both had a good sup ply of ball cattridge, a part of which they do dared to have been served out to them by Dr. Kember, of Chambly, one of the missing he roes of the revolution, whose present locate is by many shrewedly conjectured to be south of line 45 deg. (i. c. in the States ) On trr ving at Booth’s Tavern, not far from Chambly. a party of about 100 men were found posted ju t beyond tae bridge ; but they made off so fast as the troops came up, that only four of them were taken. The party reached Chambly with their seven prisoners a little after sun down. From the general statements made by the prisoners, it is evident that a very large bodv of men had been called out to oppose tae troops, and that courage, rather th in numbers, was wanting, to induce them to attempt it.— The two Mongeaus, we understad are identi fied as having been of the party that fi red on the Cavalry on Friday. The two Magistrates and the Deputy Sheriff returned on Saturday night to the city. The troops with their pris oners, who are placed in separated confine ment, remaine at Chambly. 55" Professor Wilson, edi’or of Blackwood’s {Edin burgh) Magazine , has fallen into a s’ate of menial im , becility. “ The last infirmity of noble minds.” The ! world will feel the loss. Death of Senator Kent. It is with feelings of more than ordinary regret (say? the Baltimore Chronicle, of the 25’h that we learn from a gentleman who arrived in this city las' night, that the Hon. Joseph Kent, Senator in Congress from this State, was thrown from his horse yesterday, while riding through his farm, and immediately killed.— Charleston Courier. v The Brazorin (Texas) Star, o r the 13th ul timo, says : “It is a fact connected with the history of our country, that our national em blem. in all probability owes its adoption to the j fancy of a young ladv who resides in Georgia.! On the oassage of the Georg” l ’ Battel-on tcro’j Knoxville, they were presented from trie fair j i bands of Miss Joanna Troutman, with a beau h fui (lagthe first of the'kind ever displayed in Texas.
