MISS BREMER AT CAMP MEETING. lu sketching hastily, and in outline, the events of a day passed with Miss Bremer at , the Camp Meeting near Charleston, we trust j we shall not be thought guilty of transcending i the strict rules of propriety, since our readers j are till more or less interested in the move- ! incuts’ of one whose reputation makes her ‘ rather the guest of the nation, than of the few individuals who may have the special liappi- j nc.-s of entertaining her. If the liberty we take is not unwelcome to the accomplished lady chiefly concerned, we have no reason to appre hend the discontent of our readers. The third person of our little party was Mrs. H„ the amiable hostess of Miss Bremer; and it was upon a warm afternoon on the verge of 1 Mav, that our carriage proceeded to the Rail Road station, where we found a long train of 1 ears ready to depart for the Catnp Ground. As | bv far the greater number of the passengers , were servants, and conveyed at very low fares, j most of the cars were merely baggage wagons, j fitted up with temporary seats, all of which i were now crowded with negroes and mulattoes, ot both sexes and all ages, every face beaming j with anticipation of enjoyment at the Camp Ground. Our party found comfortable seats in u first class car, with perhaps three score other white persons, among whom were several , whose dress and manners proclaimed them to belong to the clerical order. Ihe journey “by rail” was nineteen miles, I and occupied something over an hour. At the j Camp station, we found it motley crowd of j whites and blacks, many of them waiting to j return to the city in the cars which had just ! conveyed us from it. The “Camp” is situated i ad *>ut a mile from the station, a distance which, ; m dm somewhat oppressive warmth of the afternoon, we preferred riding to walking, al- | though Miss Bremer, with true European love j for the latter independent method of locomo tion, was quite inclined to adopt it. We found j a crazy old carriage, with two equally crazy old horses, and a not much less crazy old coachman, waiting the command of any who were wil ling to pay ‘• sevenpence” for a ride. Our party was soon in the vehicle, and Mrs. H.'s servant, with the large basket of bodily com torts, behind it. The road to the Camp was rilled with pedestrians, and it required all the address of our driver to clear the way for his equipage, which he did. however, with great g'">d humour and politeness, two unfailing characteristics of an old negro servant. Arrived at the outskirts of the Camp, we dismissed our sable “whip” and advanced into the interior. Our first care was to secure tor the ladies a share of that generous hospital er which distinguishes alike “the Court, the < uinp” of the Southern people. Nor was it a difficult task. Apart from the fact that one of the trio had several acquaintances upon the ground, the name of our distinguished guest was an instant passport to the good will of a very courteous gentleman, to whose attentions ttud the unremitting kindness of his excellent wife, we were indebted for a degree of com fort, while at the Camp, far beyond our expec tations. In the behalf of their stranger guest, u> m our own, we make this acknowledgement tor their hospitality. Miss Bremer was sit once presented to se v,'i;tl of the clergymen, and finder the escort ot one of them, we proceeded to explore the 1 amp. This is more spacious than most similar grounds, in consequence of its proximity to a populous city. It is situated in the pine woods, and is flanked all around by the tents or cabins “t the families who visit it annually. These ‘ lK ‘ vc ‘ r y numerous; probably there are nearly three hundred in both divisions of the Camp— ” bite and black. Tliev are generally built of h'g* or plank, and are divided into two or ‘““re rooms. Some of them arc roughly ceiled ■ ll ‘d floored, lu the lower or negro quarter of II C ar np, the cabins are smaller and more “°wded, to accommodate the far greater num 1’ their occupants. Many ot them are instructed partially of canvass, but all are <o, "fortable and fully sheltered from sun or storm. . supper in the cabin of our friend, Mr. S.. we all proceeded to the “stand” for puhlic worship. This is a vast open building, in the centre of the ground, and presented to the European eyes of Miss 8., a strange contrast to the Cathedrals and temples of solid masonry to which she had been accustomed. It is at least 200 feet long, with a breadth of one-third that extent, and consists merely of a huge shingled roof, supported upon rude hewn posts of pine, with the whole interior open to the free winds of heaven. The whole area is co vered with pine straw, and furnished with rude wooden benches. As we approached it, the scene was full of interest, and, to Miss Bremer, in the highest degree novel and exciting. At intervals ot thirty or forty feet, all around the building, were erected rude tables, about five feet high, which appeared like altars, especi ally as they were kept constantly piled with bright tires, that seemed as if consuming the sacrifice. These fires shed a strong but lurid glow upon the “ forest sanctuary,” and revealed without a dole, mass of human beings, the lower half teeming with black and shining faces, and the upper half less crowded by the whites—the women on one side and the men on the other. In the centre of the building stood the pulpit, a square desk, with a candle at each corner ; and all around this, enclosing a space several feet broad, was the railing of the altar, at which, upon the outside, knelt, at certain times, those who were convicted of sin, while upon the inside were the ministers, who prayed with them, or otherwise sought to impart to them consolation and hope. While we were contemplating the singular scene, and noting the eurious effects of light and shadow produced bv the fitful fires upon the huge trunks of the pines, which onr imagi nation easily transformed into tall and slender columns supporting the dome of some vast rustic C athedral, a sharp and prolonged blast ol a horn startled us from our dreamings and awoke echoes through the forest. It was the call to evening worship, and obedient to the summons, the whole congregation gathered ra pidly and nearly filled the vast area of the “stand. W e took our seats together, although not exactly scion a regie, for it was naturally the wish of Miss Bremer to be a “looker on here in \ ienna,” and to go where fancy listed in the intervals of service. It was not a little amusing to see the furtive glances which were directed to our party from eyes near and re mote, as it was whispered from one to another that a foreign lady was among them, though comparatively few, probably, of those present knew even the name or position of Miss Bremer. The latter was truly an unconscious object of attention, her whole feelings being deeply and strangely absorbed in the scene around her. \\ bile others watched her, and we, of her party, with perhaps more interest than anv of them, to gather from her eloquent face an idea of the effect produced upon her by this new scene of life. She was eagerly drinking in at eye and ear the impressions of novelty and surprise which the circumstances could not fail to awaken. When the opening hymn was sung, chorussed by several thousand voices, she seemed intensely interested, and well she might, for there was a strange and subduing power in that vast sea of sound, whose waves seemed to roll through the air around us with billowy undulations. When the hymn was finished, she turned to us and eagerly requested that the words of the song might be repeated. It was Cowper's exquisite hymn: “ O for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame ; A light to shine upon the road, That leads me to the Lamb !*’ We repeated it to her, and site expressed her pleasure both with the words and the melody to which they had heen adapted. During the prayer which followed, nearly all the vast con gregation sunk upon their knees, and Miss Bre mer looked her surprize to us, as the frequent echoes and responses to the petition of the minister broke from the lips of many worship ers. The sermon that followed was a simple and unimpassioned exhibition of divine truth. So calm and impressive was the manner of the speaker, that our friend was greatly surprized and perhaps disappointed, for she had evident ly expected a great swelling sound of words and much excitement of manner. She even thought the preacher lacking in fervour adapt ed to the circumstances, her impressions of those circumstances being evidently coloured by the reports she had heard of Camp Meeting oratory. When the sermon was concluded, the pecu liar features of the scene began to develope themselves. The altar-fires were renewed; there were even large accessions to the congre gation, and an evident feeling that the business of die night was now to commence. [Our limits will not allow us to complete this sketch in one number, and we will therefore close it at this point, promising to finish it next week.] PROGRESS. Men lacking faith in God and in man. have said that all progress is but in a circle. This is almost true; but in the fact that it is not quite so, lies boundless hope for Humanity. Society may be said to move in a spiral line. Something is gained at every re volution, though it may seem, to the careless observer, to return to the same point. The reaction which followed the triumphs of European Republicanism in 1848, did not undo all that had been accom plished by the terrible struggles of the people for freedom. Some points were gained which have not been and cannot be lost. TO EXCHANGES. We regret to part with any of our old friends of the press, but our exchange list Inis become so large that we tire under the necessity of curtailing it, and if some of our exchanges hereafter mi - our weekly visits, they will not, we trust, attribute it io any unkind feeling on our part towards them. “We would gladly exchange with every paper in the land it we could afford it. Country papers wishing so secure a continu ance of the exchange with us, can do so by publishing our prospectus or by noticing it at length in their editorial columns. To those with whom we must part, we say a kind— good bye. (Dnr item (fnltnim. i A Splendid Bible. Mr. John Russell has for sale, at his well supplied Book Store, a very elegant copy of the Bible, printed and bound in Philadelphia , by Messrs. Lippencott A Cos., who exhibited it at the last Fair of the American Institute. It is the Bagster edition, bound in pannelled boards and shielded with heavy gold ornaments and clasps. Upon the gilded edges are wrought in colours various appropriate figures and em blems, producing a novel and elegant effect The price is only ¥125. less by far than the cost of a very unpretending copy of the same book in the days “ lang syne.” Cheap Postage. The friends of the Cheap Postage System have every reason to be encouraged by the prospects of the measure in Congress. Mr. Rusk, Chairman of the Senate Committee, has reported a bill proposing a uniform rate of two cents for each half ounce, if pre paid, and fire cents if not pre-paid. It abolishes the frank ing privilege entirely, SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. The Parisians have lately been excited to a perfect frenzy of enthusiasm, with a dance called La Siciliennc, as performed by Cerito and her husband St. Leon. African Colonization. A philanthropic gentleman of Alabama, Mr. Joseph Bryan, has petitioned Congress to build four first class steam ships, and authorise and require each ship to make four trips per annum from the Atlautic ports and Pernambuco to Li beria. Mr. Bryan thinks the following objects may be attained: 1. The suppression of the African slave trade. 2. The carriage of the mails from the United States to Liberia. 3. The regulation and increase of our trade with Liberia. 4. The promotion of the emigration of free ne groes. Education. The facetious poet, Holmes, thus describes the process of “education” at a fashionable hoarding school. What a glorious thing is this civilization of the nineteenth century : ‘‘They sent her to a stylish school ; Twas in her thirteenth June; And with her, as the rules required, ‘ Two towels and a spoon.’ They braced her back against a hoard, To make her straight and tall, They laced her up, and starved her down. To make her light and small; They pinched her feet, they singed her hair, They screwed it up with pins— Oh, never mortnl suffered more In penance for her sins!” Mnemonics. On the 23d of October, 1440, Gillez tie Retz. supposed to be the veritable Blue Beard, was led in chains to the place of execution and burned alive at the stake. “ About this date,” says the historian, “there can be no doubt, for the people of Anjou and Maine, bv common consent, whipped their children on that morn ing, so as to impress the precise date on their memory.” The peasants of Anjou and Brit tany still practice this queer mnemonic process. An Ancient Throne. M. Layard, in the prosecution of his re searches at .Nineveh, has discovered an Assyr ian Throne, made of ivory and inlaid with gold, with rings in front as if for curtains. His an tiquarian labours continue to produce results of a most interesting and important character. A Bibliothecal Hell. In the Bibliotheque Nationals, at Paris, there is a department called Hell, devoted to bad, obscene and abominable books of all countries and times and languages. These books are utterly unfit to be read, but are many of them of great pecuniary value. Re cent investigations have revealed the fact that within a few years this Hell lias lost not less than two-thirds of its victims. The liooks have been stolen. (Our fmk iintilf. Desultokia ; the Recovered MSS. of an Eccentric. New York : Baker & Scribner. 1850. Some books, which would be damned by their manner, are saved by their matter, and we are content to excuse inelegancies and in accuracies of style, in consideration of the in terest and value of the thoughts and facts con veyed through it. Others, which possess no great intrinsic merit, receive absolution for their lack, on account of a racy or a brilliant style. Works which belong to neither of these classes must be saved—if saved at all—by an “especial act of grace.” in default of which we tremble for the fate of the book before us. “ Desultoria ” is the sickly offspring of a morbid sentimentalism, and we desire to treat it with all the tenderness due to its unfortunate condition ; but we have no mercy for its pre tended friends, whose conduct in sending the bantling out into a cold and heartless world to “ make its own way,” cannot be too strongly condemned. If it meets with harm, who is responsible ? The work is rambling and disconnected in its character, as one is led to expect it to be from the first clause of its title. The second clause informs us that it is the work of an “ Eccentric,” and seems to point to something fresh original and bizarre. For this we look in vain. Its thoughts are commonplace and trite, and are expressed in a weak and puerile style. We open the book at random, and copy from p. 103 the following brief passage, in il. lustration of what we have just said : “ How different, not only are the actions of various individuals, but how much does the same person vary at times ? even bordering on fickleness frequently— mure especially if he has any thing of in his nature. At one tirne. I had rather spend weeks in my solitary room, surrounded by my books, than be filling a station, the most envied bv men. At another time, my greatest delight is in mingling with men, observing actions, and peering into into their motives, in the divers conditions and stations in the vast moving world. * * * “ And give me the sight of the mountains that vary as you gaze on them during every hour of the day—to those poor sea-attached beings, who have never seen the mountains, how surprising, how wonderful are these cloud like formations.” The following is rather a cloudy passage, hut not more so than many others: “ 1 am alone with my horse and dog ; and 1 am on one of iny mad jaunts through the mountain region—a strange day it has been in a meteorological view—and now the clouds are of that singular union of blue, gray and yellow, which characterizes a storm not far distant—a storm of snow. Clouds are very intelligent inanimates—hut I consider snow clouds the most fastidious, patience-trying things in the world—for when you have the wind at the right point, the atmosphere, the exact temperature, and these very aforesaid clouds direct to the point, and you are looking every moment for the snow—east your eye to the heavens, and you will behold a palpable flirtation has taken place, and your sworn clouds are sailing off in the distant sky.” There may be beautiful islands in this sea of fog, but we have not yet been fortunate enough to discover them. The book is apparently aimless, unless, in deed, it is intended to encourage suicide, in which the author of the “ Recovered MSS.” finds relief from ills which he lias not the strength and courage to bear. Our author rails at society as it is, but points to no remedy ior its iisserted evils, and sees nothing better to come. No name appears on the title page, as author or editor, and we are ignorant when, where and by whom the book was written. Occasional “ Southerisms,” as our Northern neighbours call them, like the following, for instance, “ Enough of clouds! and tell me, oh my soul! what makes nature so much like she was in a dread suspense previous to a snow-storm?” show it to have been written south ol Mason & Dixon’s line, and authorize us to claim it as another addition to our stock of “ Southern Litetature.” Modern Literatcßß and Literary Men : being a Second Series of Literary Portraits. By George Giltil lan. New York: D. Appleton & Cos. Although we cannot, in all cases, coincide with Mr. Gilfillau in his estimates of the writ ings and genius of the distinguished individuals to whom he has given a nitch in his literary Pantheon, and, moreover, are not blind to the tinselry of his brilliant but affected and over wrought style, we confess to a strong liking lor his books, and especially for the volume be- lore us. Even the verbal and syntatic leger demain m which he so much delights, though it offends the judgment, strangely captivates the fancy. His former series of Literary Portraits won lor .Mr. Gilfillan a wide reputation, which will be more than sustained by the present volume, as its criticisms are more discriminating and profound. Ii embraces sketches of twenty-five writers, among whom are two Americans — Emerson and Longfellow. The paper on Emerson, though it contains much severe criti cism, is, on the whole, highly flattering to the “ Seer of Concord.” The following brief but characteristic passages are all that we have room to quote from it: “ Emerson, coming down among men from his mystic altitudes, reminds us irresistibly at times of Rip Van Winkle, with his gray beard and n; ty firelock, descending the Cais kill Mountains, from his sleep of a hundred years. A dim, sleepy atmosphere hangs around him. All things have an unreal appearance. Men seem ‘ like trees walking.’ Os his own identity he is by no means certain. As in the ‘Taming of the Shrew,’ the sun and the moon seem to have interchanged places; and yet, arrived at his native village, he (not exactly like honest Rip) sets up a grocer’s shop, and sells, not the mystic draught of the mountain, but often the merest commonplace preparations of an antiquated morality. “ In fact, nothing is more astounding about the writer than the mingled originality and triteness of his matter. Now he speaks as if troin inmost communion with the soul of being; Nature seems relieved of a deep burden which had long lain on her bosom, when some of his oracular words are uttered ; and now it is as if the throat of the thunder had announced the rule of three—as if the old silence had been broken to enuciate some truism which every schoolboy had long ago recorded in his copy book.” * * * * “ He is certainly, apart altogether from his verse, the truest poet America has ever pro duced. He has looked immediately, and through no foreign medium, at the poetical elements which he found lying around him. He has “ staid at home with the soul,” leaving others to gad abroad in search of an artificial and imperfect inspiration. He has said, “If the spirit of poetry chooses to descend upon me as I stand still, it is well; if not, I will not go a step out of my road in search of it ; here, on this rugged soil of Massachusetts, I take my stand, baring my brow in the breeze of my own country, and invoking the genius of my own words.’! Nor has he invoked it in vain. Words, which are picturesque—sounds, which are song —snatches of a deep woodland melody—-jubi lant raptures in praise of nature, reminding you afar off of those old Hebrew hymns, which, paired to the timbrel or the clash of cymbals, rose like the cries of some great victory to heaven—are given to Emerson at his pleasure. His prose i- not upon occasion, and elaborately dyed with poetic hues, but wears them ever about it on its way, which is a winged way, not along the earth, but through the high and liquid air.” Longfellow is eulogised without stint. We will, by and by, in our “ Glimpses of New Books,” give our readers a peep at what he says of the author of Evangeline. In the pa per in question, he thus speaks, incidentally, of American poetry and poets: “In spite of the penumbra of prejudice against American verse, more fugitive floating poetry of real merit exists in its literature than in almost any other. Dana has united many of the qualities of Crabbe to a portion of the weird and haggard power of Coleridge’s muse. Percival has recalled Wordsworth to our minds, by the pensive and tremulous depth of his strains. Bryant, without a trace of imitation, has become the American Campbell, equally select, simple, chary, and memorable. In re ply to Mrs. Hernans, have been uttered a per fect chorus of voices— “ Sweet and melancholy sounds, Like music on the waters. ” Emerson has poured forth notes, sweet now as the murmur of bees, and now strong as the roar of torrents ; here cheerful as the pipings of Arcadia, and there mournfully melodious as the groans of Ariel, from the centre of his cloven pine. And with a voice of wide compass, clear articulation, and most musical tones, has Longfellow sung his manifold and melting num bers.” The volume contains a large mass of biograph ical facts and no small amount of sound criti cism, and will be found readable and interest ing throughout. Miss Leslie’s Lady’s Receipt Book for Cooking. A. Hart: Philadelphia. 1850. Shall I, a prospective old bachelor, be likely to get my ears boxed, if I hint aloud to the young lady readers of the Gazette, that they take a look into this work of Miss Leslie, and see what there is in the world, and how to cook it. I shall run this risk, even if 1 fare worse—to the boxed ears have added the in junction, “ Mind your own business.” As lam “ chalked out ” lor a member of the “ Old Bachelor’s Club,” I shall be exempted from all personal consideration in this matter, and my good intentions must be placed to the credit of universal philanthropy, when I say to all the young ladies who hope to have homes of their own—and some member of the Club aforesaid ought to condole with those whose prospects are as dubious as mine—that the work which Miss Leslie has here given them, might be studied half a year with great benefit, even though the lady never had occasion to exercise her knowledge. The mistress of a house ought to know how — be able to tell at a glance whether servants are versed in the best modes of preparing food, be that food rich or simple, high-seasoned or plain. Food, to support and nourish the system, must be properly cooked— prepared, if you prefer the term. There is a weakness in domestic economy somewhere, and many of our common articles of diet come upon the table the embodiment of dyspepsia. Steaks are burnt, “ done to death,” or fall far short of the required recommendation, “ just right.” A nice “ roasting piece ” will come to table, the outside “ done brown ’” with a ven geance, the second course as raw as when it was “spitted.” Hominy is usually served up with half an hour’s boiling, whereas hominy, to be hominy, requires four or five hours’ cook ing. If the mistress of the house knows how these things ought to be done, it is easy apply ing a remedy—if she don’t know, it will take a few days more than a life-time lor the servant to learn, and then the knowledge wont be worth much. But cooking—preparing food— is not the all ol life, though it is a great thing to be able to serve up the simple dish ol hominy, and make it superior to the luxurious iced cream or Charlotte Russe, and yet a thorough knowledge of Domesticry (do you allow such words?; will enable the woman to do this.— Miss Leslie takes the student by the hand and leads her over her home that is to be, explains the use and benefit of each apartment—the proper mode of caring for it—gives directions for furniture, with “ curtains to match”—and after she hits shown the house from “ cellar to attic,” she leaves her pupil with the motto, “A place for every thing, and every thing in its place.” And so, Mr. Editor, I leave this no tice and the book. If they are out of place, will you put them where they belong? The Lounger at your Table. A Dictionary of Synonymical Terms of the En glish Language. By the Rev. James Rawson, A. M. Philadelphia: Lindsey & Biackistoti. 1850. The author of this modest and unpretending, but very useful volume, deserves the warmest thanks of the student and the writer, for sup plying the want, so severely felt, of a book of the kind, at once full, comprehensive and easy of reference. The extensive, elaborate anil learned work of Crabb, though exceedingly valuable to the philological student, is by no means convenient as a manuel for the desk and for constant use. As such a manuel, we can not too cordially commend the book before us. cOitr CnntpHiprnrifG. Godey's Lady's Book, for May, has been on our table some time.

Bite is so sweetly unaffected and natural in every movement, and her great ! goodness so clearly manifests itself, that you I will yield at once, and acknowledge that all j you have previously read and heard of her was j but a faint tribute to her real worth.” Piano Fortes and Music.— The world would be a gloomy place without music ; and we feel that we shall be contributing to the happiness of our readers by directing their at tention to the musical advertisements in our columns. Messrs. Oates, Zogbaum, and Cole, : have ample and excellent stocks of instruments ! on hand, and we do not hesitate to recommend all of them as judicious and reliable musical purveyors. New Music. —Mr. Oates, of this city, has sent us the following uew pieces of Music for the Piano Forte, published by him at 234 King street: The Sunny fide Waltz. This is a graceful and pleasing composition, by Mr. Henry T. Oates, a son of the publisher. Jasper Guards’ March. By a Lady of South Carolina. Charleston Quadrilles. By Francis Wool cott. Second Savannah Polka. By Francis Rzilin. Home Street Home, Love Not, and Last Hose of Summer, three Polkas by Rziha. These Polkas are among the most popular of their kind. We are glad to see that “ New Music’ can be published as neatly and cheaply in Charleston as in the Northern cities, and we cordially say, success to this and every home enterprise. Messrs. Wm. Hall <fc Son have lately publish ed the following Music, arranged for the Piano: Otello, a Bouquet ot Melodies, from Rossini. Robert le Diable, a Bouquet of Melodies, from Meyerbeer. Capt.

Equestrian Statue of Jackson. —The Wash ington Republic, says that Mills’ equestrian statue of Jackson, will probably be finished du ring the summer and occupy its destined place in that city. The Republic thus speaks of it : “ Several descriptions of this admirable work of art have been published, but none of them can convey to the reader the thoughts and emo tions of wonder and suprise awakened by be holding the majestic and life-like creation of the gifted artist. “ The aspect of the horse,” says a very judicious critic, “ is at once fiery and graceful,.while the iron will and indomita ble energy of his rider are most faithfully ex pressed.” The design of this statue is original in that it rests upon the hind feet of the horse, self poised, and without the aid of any extrane ous support. 1 his has never heretofore been successfully attempted. The equestrian statue of Peter the Great, which has attained a world wide celebrity, as is doubtless familiar to our readers, is ingeniously sustained in its position by the tail of the horse and the folds of the ser pent upon which he treads ; but .Mr. Mills, by a nice distribution and adjustment of the weights of the different parts of his statue, is enabled to dispense with these adventitious aids, and the forms of both horse and rider, thus relieved from every thing like artifice, are left with perfect freedom to display the high ideal of art.” It is said that Mr. Mills is in possession of a plaster cast of the head of our lamented states man, Calhoun, and accurate measurements of his person. We trust this is true and that his next work, will be a statue of that great man, to occupy a place in the Federal City. National Academy of Design. —A corres pondent of the New York Evening Post, thus speaks of the opening of the new rooms of the National Academy : “ There are few galleries in Europe that sur pass in beauty of finish, in easiness of access, and in good ventilation and light, the new rooms of the National Academy of Design. I look upon the opening of these rooms as the commencement of anew era in art among us. For it so happens that nearly all our young artists who have been studying abroad during the last few years, have returned since the last annual exhibition ; and, in addition to this, quite a number of French and German artists have, during the same period, come and settled among us. We have, therefore, a collection of pictures in the academy now,displaying a great er variety and amount of talent than'has ever before been shown upon its walls. *’ 1 he works of our younger artists are ex ceedingly interesting. It seems but a few months since we were regretting the loss of Cole, Inman,Alston, and others ; but look what a list of younger ones are hastening on to take their places ; Rossiter, Kensett, Church, Crop sey, Cranch, Flagg, White, May, Duggan, Richards, Hicks, Stearns, Peale, and others equally clever, but whose names I cannot at this moment bring to mind. “ I may be too sanguine, but I look upon these young men as those who are destined to lay the foundation of an American school of painting. In execution and in knowledge of the art. they are equal to the best of the mo dern European painters. What they lack is mind, but this will come with age arid experi ence. Like all young persons, they are led away lor a while with color and effect; but the study of human nature will, I feel confident, make them give less attention to what merely j addresses the eye, and more to what influences I the understanding. 1 owers Eve. —\Y e learn with deep regret a regret that will be shared by all lovers of art, that Powers’ statue of Eve, executed for Mr. Preston of this State, and considered by some, [ the artist s master-piece, has been lost by ship wreck of! the coast of Spain. Brtrnfinlitnu dV.aiim. 1 he b ike Department. —The Anniversary of the hire Department of our city was cele brated on Friday, the 3d instant, by an im posing parade. W e have rarely seen an exhi bition oi the kind that has been equally credit able to those engaged in it. The presence of the Oglethorpe Fire Company, from our sister city of Savannah, added to the interest of the occasion. After the parade, the various Com panies engaged in the usual exciting contests for supremacy. Everything was conducted with the most perfect order and good feeling. In discipline, efficiency and friendly feeling, our Fire Department is not exceeded by any in the country. The A, R. Taft. —The barque A. R. Taft, of Boston, which went ashore on Stono Break er on Sunday, it is feared will become a total wreck, the tide flowing over her deck at high water. Large quantities of damaged goods have been recovered by the pilot boats and smacks which have visited her. Fire. —The rear of a frame building in Meet ing street, a few doors below the Theatre, was discovered to be on fire on Saturday afternoon. Being surrounded by wooden buildings, appre hensions were entertained of a serious confla gration, but these were happily put to rest by the prompt and efficient action of our fire com panies, and the fire was extinguished with but trifling injury.— Mercury .. tTljf (Dlit Itfnrlii.

We give a brief synopsis of the political news: ENGLAND. The English Ministry having been defeated in Parliament on two or three minor questions, I gives force to the general belief that they will be compelled to resign. D’lsraeli the leader of the opposition, having recovered his health, the Protectionists have been inspired with new courage. FRANCE. The assembly have been engaged during the week in discussing the electoral law for the suppression of the clubs. It is not expected that the committee on the Press will report until after the elections, whtch come off on the 2sth of April. At a meeting of the delegates for the republi can press of Paris, to recommend a candidate for the Seine, M, de Geradin obtained a major ity of votes. ITALY. Letters of the 4th from Rome, state that fi nal arrangements have been made for the Pon tifl’s return. He would arrive at Turicero on Sunday. This determination was made notwithstanding the contractors of the loan have given notice of their intention to limit the amount of the loan to the sum already paid. The Senate of Turin is debating a law for the abolition of ecclesiastical privilege-. A large French fleet.and an American squad ron are at Naples. GREECE. The Greek question has not been adjusted and in the event of the failure of the friendly offices of France there is every reason to ap prehend serious difficulty i*.-tween England and Russia, as the former, in the event stated, has given Admiral Parker express orders to en force a complete blockade of the coast of Greece. Should he do so, the Emperor of Rus sia has given assurance of his intention to ad vance to the assistance of King Otho. No authentic advices of a later date than March 28. have been received from Athens, at which time the result of the meeting held two days previously, between Baron Gros and Mr. Wyse, had not transpired. The meeting is said to have been of a very amicable, character; but if a telegraphic dispatch dated Athens, April 2d, published in the Breslau Zeitung can he credited, the good offices of France have failed to effect a satisfactory settlement of the dif ficulty. (Tljr jiinas us tljr |)nt[. Cuba. —Appearances indicate that there is something serious and formidable in the much talked of prospective struggle for the inde pendence oi Cuba, ami that Spain is alive to the dangers which threaten her “ (Jem Island.” La J*atria says that the naval force on the coasts of Cuba is to be greatly augmented. On the subject of these preparations, the New York Sun holds the following language : “ The formidable preparations of the Span iards indicate, and truly too, that the move ment in and out of Cuba, for the freedom of that Island, is no puny affiair. The Spaniards are preparing for a terrible struggle, and they they will have it, though the odds are greatly in their favour. July 4th, 1850, the anniversary of the Independence of “Los Yankees,” is approaching, Senors of Spain ! Send on your steam frigates and your seventy-fours! The free Cubitus will have use for them.” Georgia Bituminous Coal. —We are inform ed, says the Augusta Constitutionalist, that an inexhaustible bed of Bituminous Coal exists in Walker county, just beyond the Tunnel, and very near the Rail Road. It is the property of .Mr, Cravens, who designs working it in con nection with a Company at Chattanooga, and we learn that on the completion of the Tunnel, we may expect large supplies of the article in this market. Cuba. —Gen. Lopez, it is stated, has actually sailed for St. Domingo, with the intention of assisting the Spanish portion of the population to overthrow the blacks, and afterwards mak ing that island a rendezvous for future opera tions against Cuba. Magnificent Present. —The gold snuff box, richly studded with diamonds, which revolver Colt received from Sultan Abdul-Medid, is said to be a rare specimen of workmanship, and to have cost $2,500. Philadelphia Mint. —The Mint at Philadel phia is about to receive alterations and addi tions, which, when completed, will enable it to coin, when worked to its full capacity, at least $3,500,000 per month, or forty two millions per annum. Macon. —We are pleased to learn that ex tensive preparations are in progress for rebuild ing the burnt district. The buildings are to be ot brick, and in the most approved modern style. China. —lt is proposed to raise our Charge ship to China to a lull mission. The reasons given, are that the Chinese, like many other people, are impressed with the importance of a nation in proportion to its Ambassadorii. show, and that the salary of a chargeship, $4,500 with outfit, is not sufficient to support our representa tive at Canton or Pekin with dignity. Infantile Mortality. —ln the rural parts of England 47 per cent, and in Massachusetts 40 per cent die, while they are going through the process of development ; but in New Orleans it is estimated that only 3fl 98-100 per cent die under 20. The chief fatality there occurs with ages from 20 to 40. Banks of Honor. —The French have just started anew idea— Banks of Honor. These j institutions are to loan small sums to the meri torious poor, without bond, writing or promise j pay, and nothing but a naked pledge to re | turn the loan, which is not to exceed 200 francs j ($37.50) to each applicant.

As its name indicates, the work will be made up of select ed material, consisting chiefly of choice articles from the Southern Literary Gazette, hut not confined exclusively to that source.
