The Voluptuary, or the Wild Ascetic—
which is the happiest ? The one is the vota
ry of Pleasure—the other the disciple of Su
perstition. Look from the summit of that
verdant bank, besprinkled with flowers, and
jte the Voluptuary emerging from the “ bright
inters” of Fancy. The breaking billows
.arklc around him in fantastic shapes, and
wir curling crests arc enwreathed witlta sil
irr foam. Tiic blue heavens are above him—
j rich and lovely landscape smiles around
lim. He sees, gliding before him, in mimic
naiesty, the beautiful Nautilus, and hears in
tie distance, the mellowed harmony of fltrie
and bugle. lie drinks in the music and re
vels in the secnc. His reflections are unde
incd.and his sensations conf -sed- Like the
list flickerings of the lamp, his imagination
trembles from point to point, until the expir
ing scintellation, (even alter leaving its blaz
ing source of cmanaticfti,) throws around it
for a moment, a glory, and then all is dark.
Thus perishes, in his own excesses, the vic
tim of.unnatural sensibilities, which original
ly sprung from too vivid an imagination—an
imagination that would have rendered him
happy under the proper guidance of reason
and taste.
Cut see, who is he,clad in his robe of furs,
striding over the snowy hill and rugged moun
tain i It is the wild Ascetic. The roar of
r-taracts plunging from their head-long
heights, rush upon his ear, and winter frowns
in desolation around him. He looks upon
the scene, and sternly sympathises with its
horrors. Like the demon of the storm, he
seems to create the elements he moves in,
and his mind springs forward to meet them,
imparting a commanding tone to all its facul
ties,physical and mental. It is the more dark
and revolting features, not the more placid
|v.nl gently enticing charms of nature, he loves
|to contemplate. For him, her silent beauties
Bure no attraction. The frightful avalanche,
B'hich trembles above his head, ami the ter
ihc whirlpool which darkens, deepens, and
■nutters below, are much more congenial to
liis feelings. Which is the happiest?—The
fcvild Ascetic or the Voluptuary ?

should not exceed the current expenses of
Government. But the free trade party would
probably go with the administration, in f . >r
of distributing the surplus revenue (if there ,
must he a surplus) among the States ; which I
is undoubtedly the true policy.* The Aineri- J
can System pdrtv are for increasing the ex--
1 “j
penses of the Government !o keep pace with j
the increasing income. This is a dangerous I
anti-republican policy and can never meet
tiie approbation of the people while they are
capable of self government, and worthy of the
liberty bequeathed to them by the revolution- j
ary sages and heroes. But there is one do- j
partment of the Government, in which, as j
much as we are in favor of economy and
cheap governments, it wociij give us great j
satisfaction to see the present revenue nearly l
cu) oir, and the expenses greatly increased, j
W e mean the post office department. In the
prosperity and success of this department,;
every State, every county, and every town, is
equally and deeply interested ; and every
seetion of the country pays its due proportion
of the tax by which it is supported, and must
therefore be equally benefitted in its rcduc-1
tion,or entire abolition.
Let the postage on letters to any part of the 1
United States be reduced from 25 to 0 cents
—let it he reduced lbr short distances from
18 3-4 cents to 1,2, or 3 cents. Let it be
reduced on newspapers from 75 cents per
year to any part of the Union to 25 cents—
and for short distances from 50 to 12 cents
per year—and on all periodicals, pamphlets,
Ate. in th<j same proportion. The simple,
and onlv objection to an entire abolition of
the post office revenue, is, that the mail
might be unnecessarily burdened, and per
haps overloaded with unimportant business;
mail carriers might be allowed to carry letters
out of the mail as well as in it, which would
remove all temptation to fraud.
This arrangement would equally benefit
all parties and should therefore meet the tip- j
probation of all. It appears to us that it could |
not fail to be a great public benefit* Rela
tives, friends, literary men, business men,
and the religious community would all find
the means of communicating with each other,
of interchanging ideas, equally and greatly
facilitated. But tho principle, advantage
would consist in the increased faciltics of ex
tending and multiplying the means of all
kindsof knowledge. Weekly mails might j
be made semi-weekly, and scmi-weeklv dai- j
ly. The ydurdy multiplication of [>ost offices j
and post routes, and particularly the increas
ed speed of the mail between some of our]
principal cities by the present active and en* ]
terprising Post Master General show what ]
might be done were Congress to place at the j
disposal of the department a half a mil-!
lion of dollars beyond its present reve
nue. Whenever the convenience of any con
siderable number of inhabitants required it, j
we would create new offices without much ]
regard to the expense-—and wherever the
public* convenience required increased speed
in the transportation of the mail, a few bun- (
dred ora thousand dollars additional expense
should be no obstacle to its accomplishment. j
The present Head of the department has in-j
creased the speed of the mail between the j
Atlantic cities and New Orleans* about 50
per cent, and from a tri-weekly it is shortly to
be run daily. A great number of similar im
provements have been made in different sec
tions of the country, within the last two yrais,*
but they are trifling in comparison to what
could and would be done by the department
with an ample revenue.
The reduction of postage on letters would
be a great benefit to the whole country by
enabling persons in every section, -to hold
frequent intercourse with theirdistant friends
at a trifling expense, whereas, it now a- j
mounts to a tax sufficient, in by far the greater}
number of families, to render the appearance
of these social little messengers, “like angels
visits, few and far between.” When we take
into consideration the great numbers of chil
dren, who are separated from their parents
by being at some distant school in pursuit of
knowledge, or who ai gone from the borne
of their childhood in pursuit of business, or
are married, and removed perhaps from one of
tjic old States to the “far off west,” the ben
efit of a cheap and speedy exchange of let
ters is a matter of vast moment, only in re
spect to social intercourse —but add to this,
the religious, literary, political and business
epistolary correspondence that already circu
lates in the community, and there is not a
man, woman or child that would not be an
nually benefitted, directly and indirectly, to
an amount that would be sensibly felt and pro
perly appreciated.
A great benefit would also be conferred
upon the press (and upon the community at
large through the press) by reducing the post
age on newspapers. -If newspapers were
cheaper, more people would take them; and
an increased circulation of papers would
benefit in a pecuniary point of view publish
ers and editors. But the press is the Bulla- j
dium of our liberties; and by aiding and)
facilitating the circulation of newspapers, the j
post office department wouldcxtcnd and intil*
tiply the means of useful information, foreign
and domestic, in a'.l matters of interest, reli
gious, political, literary and scientific- b itli
this view of the subject who would object to
the reduction of postage on letters, papers,
•Sic. And who would object to a liberal ap
propriation from the surplus revenue to tho
post office department ? Is there any great
interest more purely national than this ! Is
there one .o which the surplus revenue could
bo applied where the advantages tc be deriv
ed from it would be as great, where there
can be no constitutional scruples—and where
all parties, and interests would he so likely to
give their hearty approbation ? To this
course, the outlines of which wc have hastily
and briefly drawn, there can be, it seems to
us, no well grounded objections from any
quarter, while the various and rich benefits
it could not fail to confer on all {tarts of the
country, and all classes of the community,
would be incalculable. Wc would not ask
a reduction of the revenue even in this de
partment till the National Debt is paid ; but
we should lie glad to see the next Congress
place at the disposal of the Head of it a halt
a million of dollars, to enable him to com
mence a general and extensive system of im
provements, beyond what the ordinary rev
enue would accomplish.
The progress and permanency of rational i
freedom depends entirely upon the general j
diffusion of useful knowledge among every
class of the community; and it certainly is a
question of deep and general interest whether
the appropriation of a portion of the surplus
revenue to the post oTtcc department, would
not by facilitating the interchange of ideas,
by affording a more cheap and rapid means
of communication between distant points,
promote in an essen : al degree the progress
and stability of onr free and invaluabfe Insti
tutions. Let the press (the medium of intel
lectual motion, Ihe lever that moves the
world) be encouraged to multiply its sentinels
of lib< rty, its guardians of the public weal,
| by reducing the postage oil their transporta
tion. I,et the means of communication be
tween distant friends be rendered cheaper
and more rapid—none will be the poorer in a
pecuniary point of view'—all will be richer in
intellectual and social enjoyment. —Boston

“ The herald of a noisll world."
From the Charleston’Courier, of the HGth ult.
FROM Ll'- KHPOOL—DIIIEGT.
By the lr. brig Norna, arrived at Charles
ten, files of English Papers and Loyd’s Lists
to tlie 13th ult. the day of her sailing have
been received.
The fate of Poland is still held in suspense.
The Prussian State Gazette, through which
most of the recent intelligence from this ill
fated country appears oflate to be derived,
contains some intelligence, which is, howev
er, vague, and on which implicit reliance
cannot be placed. Quoting from the Silesian
Gazette, which is, of course, subject toPrus
t sian authority, it says (hat Warsaw is to be
1 summoned to surrender on two successive
days, and that if it refuse, it will be bombar
ded with artillery. It alludes also to the re
signation of Skryznecki, who is said u to have
no command whatever;” and adds that Gen.
lludtger is still in the environs of It.-.dem.
The same journal officially mentions the ap
pearance of the cholera at Berlin, and at sev
eral parts of the provinces of Pomerania and
Brandenburg, and directs precautions accor
dingly,
SkryneCkt, the late Commander in Chief of
the Polish Army had resigned, and Dembiri
ski had assumed tlie command. Later ac
pounts, bowevet, induce a belief Fiat Skryz
ncckihad been reinstated.
It is hinted that the recent excesses at
Warsaw, in which the “Jacobin Club” of that
devoted eity took so conspicuous a part, were
actually cxcilcd by Russia.
The Russian atinv was within three Eng
lish miles of Warsaw, at the latest dates, and
was daily expectihg to receive a strong rein
forcement under Gen. Kreutz.
The Coronation of the King and Queen of
England, took place in Westhiinstcr Abbey
an the Bth ult. Feastings and rejoicings in
honor of tlie occasion also occured in most of
the principal cities of the empire.
The King held at Levee the day previous,
at which tlie Representatives at that Court of
all the Foreign Powers were present— a
mongst the number the Charge ’<l Affaires
of the United States.
A revolution had broken out in Lisbon,
in favor of Donna Maria, but it was suppress
ed by the troops of tlie tyrant Migual.

The market.
Moron, November 2, 1881.
Since our last Cotton has come in more free,

mand for Cotton since the 31st ult. the date of
our last Circular, has not been so active as it was
previously; the business has been on a limited
scale, but the market is steady, and {irises are
supported. The sales for the week ended 2d inst.
amounted to 35,000 bales, of which BG3O Were
