In a short time of universal iamiue, how ma

bread ?—in a raging fever, how many dia

ease T—in a parched desert how many em

valued at so high a rate, is certainly no small
disparagement to the understanding of man

Can your richest purple excel the violet, or

x DESCRIPTION of the PERSON OF JESUS
CHRIST,
As it was found in an ancient manuscript,
sent hr Publicus Lentulus, President of Judea,
to the Senate of Rome.
There lives at this time in Judea, a man of
singular character, whose name is Jesus Christ. !
The barbarians esteem him as a prophet, but
his followers adore him as tiie immediate off
saving of the living (lo 1. He is endowed with
such an unparalleled virtues as to call back the
dea l from their graves, and to heal every sort
of disease with a word or a touch. His per
son is tall and elegantly shaped, his aspect
amiable and reverend. 1 lis hair flows in
beautiful shades which r.o united colours can
match, falling into graceful curies below the
cars, agreeably touching on his shoulders, and
parting on the crown of his head, like flic head
dress of tnc Nazarites. His forehead is
smoothc, and his checks without a spot, save
that of a lovely red. His nose and mouth are
formed with an exquisite symmetry ; his heard
is thick and suited to the hair of his head, reach
ing a little lielow his chin and parted in the mid
dle like a fork ; his eyes are bright, clear and
serene, lie rebukes with majesty, counsels
with mildness, and invites with the most ten
der and persuasive language. His whole ad
dress, whether in word or deed, being elegant,
grave, and strictly characteristic of so exalted a
being ;— no min has scon him laugh.; but the
whole world has frequently seen him weep ; and
so persuasive arc his tears, that the multitude
can hardly hold theirs from joining with him.

short, whatever his phenomenon may he in the

beauty and divine perfections, every way sur
passing the children of men.

In the last number, of Blackwood, the edi
tor thus beautifully and touchingly refers to
tiie late report respecting his aberration of
mind.
“To many people’s minds the idea of our
personal identity has become involved in in
extricable confusion. But for kindness shown
when kindness was most needed—for sympa
thy—and affection—yen, love itself-—for grief
and pity not misplaced, though bestowed from
a mistaken belief of our condition—forlorn—
hut not wholly forlorn—for encouragement
and solace sent to us from afar, from cities and
solitudes, and from beyond seas and oceans,
from brethren who never saw our face and ne
ver may eec it—life itself must leave our heart
that beats not now as it is used to beat, but
With dismal trepidation, ere it forget, or cease
te remember as clearly as now we hear them,
any one of the many words that came sweetly
and solemnly whispered to us from the lips of
the great and the good, whom Heaven pre
serve long on earth to benefit the race by their
genius and their virtue.”

ber, “ Th A Game of Che«s” extracted from the “ South'
ern Literary Messenger,” and commend it to the peru
sal of the young of both sexes most sincerely. It con
tains much good moral instruction for them both. It is
not always that tales of fiction have so good a moral
tendency, or contain such good general instruction for
the young.
85“ “ Sidney” will not appear—for two reasons—the
first is, that the world has growri sick of love-complain
ing swains—and secondly, because, though we are un
able to refer verbatum to the source of the poem, yet
with a little investigation, we would risk our reputation
upon finding some other author for the lines than “ Sid
ney.” While we are under this belief, we cannot con
sent to insert them, determined to publish nothing of the
kind unless meritorious and strictly original. Again,
we are not all inclined to be imposed upon by those who
hawk about their rhymes from office to office in search
of some clodpole of an editor who cant distinguish sense
horn rhyme, nor original maitter from plagiarisms.—
We had supposed that the veriest Tyro in reading, had
seen Alexander’s Feast, by Driden, and even had it not
been our lot to have looked into books, common sense
would have enabled us to have appreciated ihe striking
and original perceptions of that poem, stamped as it is
with the highest order of poetic genius.
55* As summer grows apace, it behoves us to inform
our citizens, and more especially visitors to Macon, that
we have not only a city in size, but a city in conven
ience. ,

our humble sell, we had rather sing out Eureka, Eureka,
from the excitement of soda potations, than mathemati

ever ready to indulge, nor by any means choice wheth

Besides we have an Ice-housc, and ice-creams served
up “ a-a New-York,” to fighteneff the “raw head

And by way of variety, the “ ear piercing fife and
the spirit stirring drum” will soon be sounding the ala

and the waving banners will be seen in beauteous ar

Southern Literature & the ‘ Augusta Mirror.’
Time which with its myriad of changes, revolutions
and counter revolutions at length establishes permanent
government, will also from the depth of its political cru
cible, throw up into active existence the orations of the
mind, which when first thrown into it, were rudae cl
moles indigestae quae, yd as education advances, come
cut refined, elevated and often sublime conceptions of
the human intellect. Thus it is in newly erected states.
The politi \al balance must first be secured—laws must
be framed and administered, and government placed
upon certain foundations, before the national taste dis
covers its tendencies towards the cultivation of lircra
ture and the fine arts; they are the last signs that occur
to apprize us that the superstructure is completed.—
Literature stretches out her hand to gild the finished
fabric, and the perfections of painting and sculpture,
tell us in their near approach to nature, that man and
government has advanced to the utmost limit of civili
zation. To go farther, would he treading upon the at
tributes of the Deity and making us, at least in powe r
and mind, temporal Gods.
It was the Augustan age that preceded the downfall
of the Romans. The halo that it shed upon that empire
seemed to be the breathing space, between the exhaus
tion of the vital energies of her heroes and writers as
they gathered up and spent their strenglh to heave the
last stone upon the “ eternal city ” that had taken a
thousand years to build, and the revulsions of the phy
sical and moral world that soon overwhelmed the proud
est triumphs of her arts and learning. These reflec
tions are called up by the contemplation of our own in
fantile slate in literature, (I allude of course to South
er!] Ti teraturc) andto the recent appearance of the “Au
gusta Mirror.” From the Potomac to the Mississippi,
how few literary journals, papers &c. have we, in com
parison to the vast and mammoth resources both of
wealth, population and mind that might be brought in
to active operation. Are we waiting for government
to ripen, or are we so exclusively occupied in mercena
ry speculations that we grow heedless alike of both
literature and religion? Stand forth, ye “clay cold
spirits,” ye moneyed autocrats, ye cotton-bale samplers
and answer, is it so ?
To ligh’co up this dull prospect, we gladly hail the
“Augusta Mirror,” we give it the friendly grasp, and
betoken for it a long life, a useful and a happy one.
Its first appearance augurs well for its future useful
neess; and located as it is, in one of the first of South
ern cities, it will waken up the slumbering genius of the
South. Let the gifted of each sexsend in their contri
butions, and surely even in Augusta there must be wit,
talent and industry enough, to rank it soon among the
first of literary jeurnnls. And by way of a parting
“goodbye” to its young and enterprising editors, we
i bid them God speed, over the untrodden paths of South
ern Literature. The journey will be rugged and care
besprinkled, but when accomplished, ye will repose on
a bed of rose.-,

We only want a Claude Lorraine to throw upon can
vass our mornings and evenings in May, to make them
as calm, fine and beautiful as were ever Italian skies,
wrapt as they ore in the glowing reminiscenses of classic
tale. All that we could ask to finish the picture, would
be a few ruined temples, a remnant of a Colliscum’s
arch, a fragment of a marble acqueduct, and perchance
some few columns of barronial castles, or now and then
a tower-flanked pantheon, to take us back
“ To the land of the lost Gods
And Godlike men,”
and to reflect from their parian whiteness the light of
that lovely planet as it moves above in her own firma
ment in all the calm majesty of acknowledged and un
rivalled beauty.
No wonder that the Fagan bows down and wor
ships the Moon ! Ravished with the heavenly inspira
tion by wliich she fires up the heart, and believing as
we look upon her in all her transcendant purity, and
thesweet, holy serenity that marks her progress as she
gleams in bright effulgence inttr minora siicra, that she
may be the favored daughter of the “ Great spirit” who
“ spake her into being,” would it be irreligious to join in
the mysterious adoration ?
“ The moon is up; by Heaven a lovely eve 1”
would have been the exclamation of the poet, had he
wandered out with us on Tuesday evening. What
emotions does not nature (impregnate with her own di
vinity) excite, and what eye could have looked forth up
on her in her own great temple, the blue expanse above
only now and then fretted with a few a few stars to re
lieve the “ rapt vision” from the clear and unbroken
stream of light, poured over hill and dale from the Orb
that ameliorates so much the solitude of darkness, and
not feel the heart melt before the glorious presence?
Mr. Wiide would never have expatriated himself to
find a land mo: e genial in its climate, or more pictur
esque in its scenery than our own dear native Georgia.
For from the sea shore to the mountains, from the wave
that meets his morning kiss, to the towering Yonah *
that reflects the sub’s last beams from its grey and rug

Nothing but his classic taste and his longing aspirations
to witness amid the scenes of their legitimate birth, the
faded and time-worn, but from the hour of their antic
quity, venerable and consecrated relics of “Imperial
Rome,” called him hence—
“ On sloping mortnds, cr in the vale beneath,
Are domes where whilom kings did make repair;
But now the wild flowers round them only breathe;
Yet ruin’d splendor s‘i’l is lingering there.”
“ So deem’d the Child,” and so may Richard Henry
Wilde love to wander in the same path .hat called forth
the vivid and soul-wrought genius of Child Harold as
he threw into his poem the burning inspiration of a
mind deeply imbued with the recollections of that eias
ic land. He is gone from us—and we may see him no
more—but from the bosorn of his lone retreat, near
Tiber’s side or in Alpine vale, he will sendback across
the waters, the sweet verse of “ Tasso” t that we may
sing them in cur own tongue, and cherish him in memo
ry, who was once tiie worshipped of all that was gifted
and beautiful and chivalric in Georgia.

DOC In the April number of the North American Re
view, is an article on Lockhart’s Memoirs of Sir Walter
Scott, replete with beauty, interest and information.
We regret that we cannot give the whole production to
our readers, and the regret is increased when we are
aware that so few take that periodical.
We take the he following specimen from it—but we
advise all who can obtain die Review, especially the
females of this city, to read the whole article; and we
promise them more advantage from its thirty-five pages,
than from volumes of the chaff now winnowing upon
j the world.
“At the High School, in which he was placed by his
lather at an early period, he seems not to have been
particularly distinguished in the regular course of stu
dies. His voracious appetite for books, however, of a
certain cast, as romances, chivalrous tales, and worm
eaten chronicles scarcely less chivalrous, and his won
| derful memory for such reading as struck his fancy,
soon made him regarded by his fellows as a phenome
non of black-letter scholarship, which, in process of
time achieved for him the cognomen of that redoubta
ble schoolman, Duns Seotus. He now al«o gave evi
dence of his powers of creation as well as acquisition.
He became noted for his own stories, generally border
ing on the marvellous, with a plentiful seasoning of
knight-errantry, which suited his bold and chivalrous
temper. “Slink over beside me, Jamie,” he would
whisper to his schoolfellow Ballantyne, “ and I’ll tell you
a story." Jamie was, indeed, destined to sit beside him
during the greater part of his life.”
Os the publications of the “ Lady of the Lake,” he
says:
“ In 1811, Scott gave to the world his exquisite poem,
“ The Lady of the Lake.” One of his fair friends had
remonstrated with him on thus risking again the laurel
he had already won. He replied, with characteristic,
and indeed prophetic, spirit, “ If 1 fail, / will write prose
all my life. But if I succeed,
‘ Up wi’ the bonnie blue bonnet,
The dirk and the feather an a’!’ ”
In his eulogy on Byron, Scott remarks, “ There has
been no reposing under the shade of his laurels, no liv
ing upon the resource of past reputation; none of that
coddling and petty precaution, which little authors cal]
“taking care of their fame ” Byron let his fame take
caro of itself.” Scott could not have more accurately
described his ow.i character.
“ The “ Lady of the Lake” was welcomed with an
enthusiasm, surpassing that which attended any other
of his poems. Ic seemed like the sweet breathings of
l is native pibroch, stealing over glen and mountain,
and calling up all the delicious associations of rural soli
tude, which beautifully contrasted with the din of bat
tie and the shrill cry of the war trumpet, that stirred
the soul in every page of his “ Marmiou.” The publi
cation of this work carried his fame as a poet to its most
briiliant height. Its popularity may be inferred from
the fact, stated by Lockhart, that the p;ist horse duty
r se to an extra lrdinary egree in Scotland, from the
eagerness of travellers to visit the loca’iiies of the poem.,
A mora subsiantiyd evidence was afforded in its tftias
ing cirsubdor, and caaeequ&nty' its profile. TV press
could scarcely keep pace with the public demand, and
no iess than fifty thousand copies of it have been sold
since the dato of its appearance. Tiie successful au
thor realized more than two thousand guineas from his
production. Miiton received ten pounds for tiie two edi
tions which lie lived to see of his “ Paradise Lost.” The
Ayrshire bard had sighed for “ a lass wi’ a tocher.” —
Scott had now found one in the Muse, 9uch as no Scot
ish, nor any other poet had ever f iund before.”

NOBLE CONDUCT OF AN AMERICAN CAPTAIN.
Her Majesty's Ship Hercules , )
Halifax Harbor, 28th March, 1839. \
Mr. Howe, Sir—May I beg the favor of
your giving insertion to the following state
ment:
On our passage from England to this port,
when in lat itude 42 N. and longitude 42 \V.
we observed a sail haul up for us, apparently
with the desire of speaking this ship, I imme
diately closed with her, and found it to lie the
American ship “Commerce,” of and from
Charleston, bound to Liverpool, commanded
by Capt. Pony, and that his object in comrau
nicating with us, was, to beg that we would
receive on board part of the crew of the “ Eliz
abeth Caroline,” of St. Stephen, New Bruns
wick, which vessel be had met, dismasted and
water-logged, in latitude 39 N. and longitude
45 W. and had taken all the crew off the wreck
six days previously.
These unfortunate persons had been 23 days
on the forecastle of their vessel, lashed to the
windlass, exposed to every sea, with barely
sffiucient food to sustain life, arid all the water
that they had remaining was hut two gallons,
when the “Commerce,” fell in with her.
Mv motive in detailing to you those partic
ulars, is principally to express my admiration,
and that of all thoie under my command at
the generous and humane conduct of Capt. Per
ry, as it. has been made known to us by the
men belonging to the Elizabeth Caroline.
It appears that the Commerce foil in with
this wreck by the merest chance, at about half
past nine at night, on the 4th of March ; and
that on hearing tire cries of the crew, the Com
merce instantly shortened sail, wore round
and went close alongside of the water-logged
vessel; Capt. Perry hailing them in these
cheering words, as tiie men have themselves
represented :—“ Keep up your hearts, hoys,
there ir, too much sea to hoard you know, hut
I will never leave you till I take you off, ” and
through the night he twice or thrice passed
round them, repeating those consoling words
txnd offering to veer them water and provis
ions if they were in immediate want of either.
These generous assurances this brave sailor
rigidly fulfilled, and after perseveringly keep
ing close to the vessel for two nights and a day,
it blowing very hard all tho time, he at length
succeeded in getting the people all out of her
into the Commerce, where lie clothed them
with a kindness, which, as they gratefully say,
they never can forget, or will cease to acknowl
edge’
In thus making known the exemplary con
duct of Capt. Perry, it is with sorrow 1 have to
draw a disgraceful contrast oa the part of a
vessel, barque rigged, which on the very morn
ing of the day that the Commerce fell in with
the Elizabeth Caroline, hauled up within three
miles of the wreck, and took in her studding
sails; yet though the weather was then fine,
she bore up again to the Eastward without of
fering the slightest assistance, her object thus
evidently seeming to have been plunder; and
that on discovering living persons on board of
the Elizabeth Caroline, which would have ren
dered this design abortive, she at once aban
doned them all to their late.
For the honor of tile two nations, it is to be
hoped that those who acted thus inhumanly,
did not belong to either England or America,
though the crew of the shipwrecked vessel, 1
regret to say, believe her to be English ; but
to whatever country she may liclong, I trust
her name, and that of her unfeeling master,
will be brought to light, in order that tiie man
who could act so heartless —so cruel a part,
may be held up to the execration o‘ mankind ;
and thus receive the punishment which he so
well deserves. I have the honor to be, sir,
vour most obedient servant,
J. TOUP NICHOLAS,
Cyptain 11. M. S. Hercules.
P. S. —l may add, that with the view of
shewing our admiration of the noble conduct
of Capt. Perry, in staying so long and so per
severingly in a gale of wind by the wreck of
the “ Elizabeth Caroline, ” the officers of the
“ Hercules, ” and myself, together with Major
Estcourt of the 43d Regiment, and the officers
of the detachments of the 15th, 54th, G6th and
85th Regiments, taking a passage in this ship
from England, have made a subscription for a
piece of plate, which we mean to present to
the worthy American Captain, as a lasting
memorial of the generous deed which he per
formed. J. T. N.
