Spinola being told, that Sir Francis Verde died of having nothing to do, said, “That was enough to kill a general.” llow many arcs, there to whom war itself is a pastime, who choose the life of a soldier, exposed to dan gers and continued fatigues ; of a mariner, in conflict with every hardship and bereft of ev cry convtniency ; of a politician, whose sport is thc conduct of parties and factions; and who, rather than be idle, will do thc business of men and of nations for whom he has not the smallest regard ? Such men do not choose pain as preferable to pleasure, but they are incited bv a restless disposition to make con tinued exertions of capacity and resolution ; they triumph in thc midst of their struggles; they droop, and they languish, when the° oc casion of their labor has ceased. What was enjoyment, in the sense of that youth, who, according to Tacitus, loved dan ger itself, not the rewards of courage? What is the jirospcct of pleasure, when thc sound of the horn or the trumpet, thc cry of the dogs, or thc shout of war, awaken the ardour of the sportsman and the soldier? The most anima ting occasions of human life, are calls to dan ger an<l hardship, not invitations to safety and ease: and man himself, in his ex cellence, is not an animal of pleasure, ncr; destined merely to enjoy what the'elements! bring to his use: but like his associates the dog and the horse, to follow the oxer uses of his nature, in preference to what are called its enjoyments; to pine in the lap of ease and of affluence, and to exult in thc midst of a larms that seem to threaten his being, in all which, his disposition to action only keeps pace with the variety of powers with which he is furnished; and the most respectable at tributes of his nature, magnanimity, fortitude and wisdom, carry a manifest reference to the difficulties with which he is destined to stum-1 gle. If animal pleasure becomes insipid when! thc spirit is roused by a different object, it is; well known, likewise, that the sense ef paiiri is prevented by any vehement affection of the soul. Wounds received in a heat of passion, in thc hurry, the ardour, or consternation of battle, are never felt till the ferment of the ! mind subsides. Even torments, deli Karatel v applied and industriously prolonged,arc borne with firmness, and with an appearance of ease when the mind is possessed with some vigorous sentiment, whether of religion, enthusiasm, or love to mankind. The continued mortifi cations of superstitious devotees in several ages of the Christian church; the wild penan ces, still voluntarily borne, during many years by the religionists of thc cast; the contempt in which famine and torture are held by most savage nations; the cheerful or obstinate pa tience of the soldier in the field: the hardships endured by the sportsman in his pastime, show how much we may err in computing thc miseries of men, from the measures of troub le and of suffering they seern to incur. And if there be a refinement in affirming that their happiness is not to be measured by the contrary enjoyments, it is a refinement w hich was made by Reguius and Cincinnatus be fore thc date of philosophy. Fabricus knew it while he had heard arguments only on the opposite side. It is a refinement, which cv ry boy knows at his play, and every savage confirms, when he looks from his forest on the pacific city, and scorns the plantation, whose master he cares not to imitate. Mgn, it must he confessed, notwithstand ing all this activity of his mind, is an animal in the full extent of that designation. Vv lien | the body sickens, the mind droops; and when the blood ceases.to flow, the soul takes its departure. Charged v. ith the care of his pre - servation, admonished bya sense c-f pleas ure or pain, and guarded by an instinctive fear of death, nature has not instructed his safety to the mere \ igiluucc of bis understand ing, nor to the gov. rnment ofiiis uncertain rt flections. The distinction bet - ixt mind and body is followed by constqm nc; sof the greatest iin portarcebut the fa :*s to which we now re fer, are not founded c.n any tenets whatever. They are equally 'rue, whether we admit or reject the distinction i:i e , tion, or whether ive suppose, that ti. sh> n. agent is formed of one, or is un assent’, lag-, o. teparate natures. And the mate rial, f, U treating of man as of •an engine, cannot v■ '■ • v cuange in the state of his history. }■■■> is a bet who, by a mutiplicity of visible organs, p< r* >rmsa va riety of functions.

He perceives,he r•celLct:’ amlfore-! casts ; he desires, he shuns; l.e ruin ir •s, and contemns. lie enjoys his ph a , or he , endures bis pain. All these dill- r et fine tions, in some measure, go whr togrth- - er. When the motion of the bloo i b*; guid, the muscles relax, the yndcrst&n ling is tardy, j and the fancy is dull: when clisß-m;'-. r ssails him, the physician must attend s:o - ss to what he thinks, than to what he ca‘i, nndj examine the rctnrns of his passion, tog -tlicr I with the strokes of his pulse. . With all his-sagacity, his precautions, and his instincts, which arc given to preserve his being, he partakes in the fate ot otlicr ani mals''and seems to he formed only that he mavdtf- M vriads perish before they reach tire perfection of their kind: and the individ ual, with an option to owe the prolongation of his temporary course to resolution and con- J-.ct, or to abject fear, frequently chooses the htt, r, and; by a hah.t of timidity, embitters the life he ia so intent lo rresen c. , n however, at tm.es, exempted from this mortifying lot, seems u ru.r- ir d to the lemrth oi his pened.

Mule) Mo luck, borne on his litter, and spent with dis ease still fought the battle, in the midst of which he expired ; and tin? last ellort he made, w th a finger on las lips, was a signal to con- his death; tiro precaution, perhaps, ofall which he had hith- rto taken, the most necessary to prevent a defeat. ( an no reflections aid us in acquiring this habit of the sou), so useful in carrying us throug’-many of the ordinary scenes’of life? If we say, that they cannot, thc reality of its happiness is not the les3 evident. The. Greeks and the Romans considered contempt ot pleasure, endurance of pain, and neglect of life, as eminent qualities of a man, and a principal subject of discipline. They trus ted, that the vigorous spirit would find worthy object*, was to shake otl the meanness of a so* licitousand timorous mind. Mankind in general, have courted occa sions to display their courage, and frequently, in search ot admiration, have presented a spec tacle, which to those who have erased to re gard fortitude on its own account, becomes a subject of horror. Scevola held his arm in thc fire, to shake the soul ofPorsenna. The savage inures his body to the torture, thatin the hour of trial he may exult over hisenemy. Even the Mussulman tears his flesh to win thc heart of his mistress, and comes in gaiety streamiugwith blood, to shew that deserves her esteem. Some nations carry the practice of inflict ing, or of sporting with pain, to a degree that is either cruel or absurd; others regard eve ry prospect of bodily suffering as the greatest ol evils; and in the midst of their troubles, < mb Uteri every real affliction, with thc terrors of a feeble and fejeetvd imagination.

MR. LUMPKIN. Tite-case of Mr. Forsyth, who, when Governor of Georgia, was elected to the Senate cf the U. States, is quoted with an air of triumph, for the purpose of notifying Mr. Lumpkin in withhold ing his resignation as a member of the House of [ Representatives in the same body. Rut thecases ' Ere by no means parallel. In the case of Mr. rorsyth, there was no necessity to run the State to a needless expense, or to create an unnecessa ' ry excitement, by a premature agitation of the public mind. There was ample time-to elect ms successor by the regular mode pointed out by the Constitutior.; and if there had not been, the same Instrument provides a remedy in the person of the President of the Senate. So, in no event, it will be perceived, could the State sustain an in jury by transferring her Executive officer to the Councils of the Nation. But the same argument will not hold good in the case of Mr. Lumpkin. He comes from Con gress as a candidate for the Gubernatorial Chair, and owing to the periodical arrangements of our elections, it will become necessary in the event of a successful canvass on his part, to proclaim, un necessarily, an extraordinary election at an unu sual and unconstitutional period. This would occasion a wasteful gratuitous expense of many thousand dollars to the State, and of as many more to the independent voters of the State. Let them think of this. If Mr. Lumpkin is unambitious of office—ifhe has the quiet and interest of the State and of the people at heart—it appears to us, that he should, under the circumstances as stated, have simulta neously announced hi.i resignation of his seat as a member of Congress, with the declaration of can didacy for the office of Governor of the State of Georgia. But he has failed to do so—and in failing to do so, has subjected his conduct to con st ructions by no means creditable to an honest politician. Acting upon the trite and vulgar, yet no less true axiom, when properly applied, that “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” Mr. L. knows that he is safe in office, come what will. — If, (he reasons,) I can't get elected Gover nor, why, I have the consolation of knowing that my seat in Congress remains unvacated, and I cun go Lack and occupy it, and enjoy my per dam com pensation 1 * —And is this not ambition? Does it not evidence an inordinate, grasping, and monop olising spirit, which cannot be satisfied unless glutted w ith the “loaves and fishes ?” We pause for a reply. It now seems, that notwithstanding all that has been said to the contrary, the lion. Hugh L. White, of Tennessee has consented to accept the War Department. The Warrenton (Va.) Ga zette vouches for it. And the Globe, (Govern ment official) announces, that Maj. Eaton has ceased to act as Secretary of War, and that Dr. Randolph, chief clerk in tho War Office, is now discharging the duties of Secretary of that De partment. The Charleston Courier of tho 27th ult. says, that the ship Robin Hood, arrived at that pert on the 25th ult. with 9691 bars of lrou for the Road Company, which now has under their control a sufficient quantity to complete 100 miles of the road between Charleston and Hamburg. 1 he approacliing anniversary of our National Independence vn!l be celebrated on Monday the 4th July.

The correspondence between thosa gentlemen is of the most delicate nature, and should not have found its way to the public eye. The conduct of Mr. Ingham in the affair, we consider highly censurable. He has unnecessarily outraged the feelings of Gen. Eaton, and merits, what he ought to receive, a signal punishment. That arch hypocrite, the Editor of the tJ. S. Telegraph, calls the stand which Gen. Eaton, has occupied in defence of his insulted honors, “an at tack upon thc liberty of the press.''" —What! is it an attack npon the liberty cf thc Press, for a man to de fend the reputation of his wife? If it is, woe, woe, to the morals, the happiness, the security of socie ty. We blush for the honor and dignity of the American Press, that there can be found one anjong us, one who would attempt to shield his unmanly conduct by such a pitiful and disgusting subterfuge. . MR.

In that paper of this evening is contained the follow- | ing rdhark of my wife : * “It is proven that the Secretaries of the Treasury, and of tho i Navy, and of the Attorney General, refused j to associate with her.”* Tnis publication appears in a paper which professes to be j friendly to you, and is brought forth under your immediate eye. - I desire to know of you, whether or not you sanction or will dis-! avow it.

Sia: I have not been able to ascertain, from your note of last evening, whether it is the publication referred to by you, or the fact stated in the Telegraph, which you desire to know whether l have sanctioned or will disa vow. If it be the first you demand, it. is too absurd to merit an answer. If it be the last, you may find authority for the same fact in a Philadelphia paper, about the first of April last, which is deemed to bo quite as friendly to you as the Telegraph may bo to me.— When you have settled such accounts with you particular friends, it will be time enough to make demands of others. In the mean time, I take the occasion to say, that you must be not a little deranged to imagine that any blustering of yours could induce mo to disa vow w hat all the inhabitants of this city know, and perhaps half the people of the United States believe to be true. lain, sir, respectfully yours,&c.

Sin: I have received your letter of to-day, and regret to find that to a frank and candid inquiry brought before you, an answer impu dent and insolent is returned. To injury un provoked, you arc please to add insult.— What is the remedy ? It is to indulge the expectation that, though a inau may be mean enough to slander, or base enough to encour age it, he yet may have bravery sufficient to repair the wrong. In that spirit I demand of you satisfaction for thc wrong and injury you done me. Your answer must determine whether you are so far entitled to the name and character of a gentleman as to be able to act like one. Very respectfully, , J. 11. EATON. D. Ingham, Esq. REPLY. Washington, 2(pA June, 1931. Sin : Your note of Saturday, purporting to !'e a demand of satisfaction for injury done to Vouwas received on that day; company pre vented me from sending you an immediate answer. Yesterday morning, your brother in-law, Dr. Randolph, intruded himself into my room, with a threat of personal violence. I peifectly understand the part you are made to play in the farce now acting before the A merican people. I am not to be intimidated by threats, or provoked by abuse, to any act inconsistent with the pity and contempt which your condition and conduct inspire. Yours, sir, respectfully, S. D. INGHAM. John 11. Eaton, Esq. MR- EATON TO .MR. INGHAM. June, 1831. Sir : 'i our note of this morning is received- It proves to me that you are quite brave e nough to do a mean action, but too gn at a coward to repair it. Your contempt I heed not; your pity i despise. It is such contempt ible fellows as yourself that have set forth ru mors of their own creation,and taken them as a ground of imputation against me. If that be good cause then should you have pity of yourself, foryour wife has not escaped them, and you must know it. But no more : here our correspondence closes. Nothing more will'be received short of an acceptance of my demand of Saturday, and nothing more be said by me until face to face we meet. It is not my nature to brook jour insults, nor will they be submitted to. J. 11. EATON. S. D. Ingham, Esq. The very extraordinary correspondence be tween the Ex-Secretaries of War and of the Treasury, which will be found in another col unin, appeals to have prodneed, as it was well calculated to do, a singular state of things at Washington. Immediately after the threatened personal attack upon Mr. lngham, by Major Eaton, the former ceased to act as Secretary of the Treas ury, and was to have left the city on the 22d inst. tor his residence in Pennsylvania. The Intelligencer of that date says:—“The city is full of rumors of strange occurrences; but they have not assumed a scope sufficiently defined to authorize their introduction into our columns.” Upon (he above, thc Alexandria Gazette of the 22d has thc following : “ Wars and Rumours of Wars. —The Dis trict is again full of “rumours of wars” be tween the ex-members of the ex-Cabinet.— Wc are acquainted with some o: the particu lars, but choose to wait a while. Mr. Ea ton is disposed to show fight—Mr. Ingham is not belligerent. Perhaps Mr. Berrien’s met ; tie will be tried. Mr. Branch is toofar oIT, or else he would be called uj>on to toe the mark. Comm unieat ions. Rail Koart. For the Macon Advertiser, It has been objected againt the construe j tion of rail-roads.in this State, that our staple | artie'e, cotton, is so light that it will never ! afl'ord freight enough to pay a profit on rail road stock. If this be so, I readily admit 1 that the question is at an end. For it would j be folly in any people to construct a rail-road if, when done, there should be nothing to be' carried on it but articles, so light, that there j weight should bear a very small proportion ,to their value. Nothing can be plainer than | that no rail-ioad is wanting, or ever will be 1 wanting to convey out of the country, silk, j spices, gold dust,nor any other article that can j be 1 carried as well or nearly as well without ! it. It might be admitted that there is not now i a sufficient weight of staple exported to justi fy a rail road, and still an obvious answer might he found to the objection in the well known fact, that freight and travelling in crease with the facilities of transportation* The Runkcrhill Monument is to be built of of granite brought from Quincy, 1 think from 12 to 20 mil< s distant, large edifices arc now in progress in Troy, the Marble and granite for which comes from 100 to 150 miles dis tant up the Hudson and down the canal. Ten years ago, probably not more than 200 persons left New York daily tor Albany where it re quired several days for the journey. Now, the trip is preformed in 12 hours; and at least 2000 persons make it daily, and to take an in stance on the spot; lam told that the present daily stapes are as well or nearly as well fill ed as the former tri-weekly stages were. ’File trutlris, there is no department in the whold frame of political or social economy in which it is so difficult for the supply to transcend the demand as in this. The supply of cheap, safe and (xpeditious conveyance, ever has, and ever will, create a demand for itself. Peo ple will travel, who never before thought of travelling; and they will transport articles which they never before thought of transpor ting if it can be done quickly, cheaply, and I safely. My own opinion is that if a safe tran sit hence to Savannah in twenty-four hours I should be substituted for the present hazard ! ous one of 18 to 21 day’s, the freight and trav elling would from that alone be doubled. I would however on this subject; where so much is at stake place no dependence or con jecture, however probable, lest we might be met by countervailing causes that we now know nothing of. In order to be perfectly safe, I-would bottom my cafculaffbns not on any expected increase of custom; but on that which already exists, in this we cannot be deceive and. The true question then on this, perhaps the only safe basis is, not what routes in Georgia would probably after a time draw to themselves such an amount of business as would render them ultimately profitable ; but what routes have now on them so much freight as to be immediately so, there maybe several such in Georgia, but that from Maoon to Sa vannah is certainly of that discriptimi. A rail road on that route, supposing it to cost as much per mile a* that from Charleston to Hamburg would amount to about 8900,00<f or, to have the estimate surely large, enough, let us say a million of dollars. The ship ments of cottoq have been for several yeafs gradually increasing in quantity; this amount ed during the last season to something up. wards of 60,000 bales, the freight ami insu rance on which to Savannah tnav be averaged at 81 75 per bale, suppose them to be carried on thc rail road at 1,25 per bale, the down freight is 875,000 The up freight of the salt, iron, groceries and otherarticles brou’t up, is doubtless much heavier than the cotton carried down,but put it down at thc same 875,000 8150,000 This, after allowing 850,000 for contingent expenses affords an interest of ten per cent on the investment supposing the roSd to go into operation to-morrow. Without taking into thc calculation or allowing any thing for that self-creating power of improvements of this nature, which every where else has been found to be so great, or even for the natural ly increasing growth of cotton in the new country above us, which lias been lately, 8 or 10,000 bags per annum, and which must have an outlet whether there is a rail road or not.
