igiiitiirs’ Drprfincnt. WM. C. RICHARDS, Editor. D. H. JACODES. Associate Editor. (gljnrlfstott, I. SATURDAY MORNING, NOV. 2, 1850. leaves from the forest. Summerville, S. C., Oct. 23,1850. Dear Richards. —You may have cause tii regret that you ever allowed me to escape from my cage in the city. Do you flatter yourself that I shall return at your call ? Is it nti easy thing to lure back to his wire prison, the bird which has been permitted, for an hour or two, to taste the sweets of freedom among the trees and flowers of the garden ? Are the hot and dusty streets of Charleston, the din of drays and omnibuses, and wrangling of vulgar crowds, sights and sounds so attractive that they arc like ly to win me back ? Is an editor's ‘den’ on Broad-street, the vestibule of Heaven, that I should hasten to return to it? Is “more copy, sir,” a phrase of such pleasant sound that I need be in a hurry to put myself in the way of hearing of it again ? But you may mention the Battery and the Public Garden—remind me of the brilliant throngs of the young and the beautiful. which crowd the pave of King-st.,of an afternoon, and hint at the ice creams of Madame Petit, the soda tiiuutaiu of Haviland.Harral &Co.,and thoplea suies of a chat with literary friends,at Rnssell’s. It is all in vain. A walk on the Battery is not to be compared with a ramble through these forest-avenues, and if the young and fair pass not in crowds,as through the thoroughfares of the chy, the few whom I meet on the wood.paths are not less lovely. With a plenty of fiesh milk and clear cool water from the spring, your ices and soda wouid hardly tempt me, during the heats of Summer, much less now ; and in my present mood, the song of the mocking bud in its native thickets, and the music of the breeze, as it sweeps through these lofty trees have greater attractions for me than the spici est conversation of the literatures: so unless you bring Barnum and Jenny Lind to Charles ton, or convince me that our Gazette is suffer ing on account of my absence, I shall not return, to town till 1 choose to. In the mean time, having nothing else to send. I send you, two or three “Leaves from the Forest.” I. SUMMERVILLE. This is the quietest little forest-nook imagi nable —a very Paradise to the seeker after quiet and repose. Art here nestles lovingly in the bosom of Nature. The refinements and luxu ries of the town are combined with the fresh ness and freedom of the country. There are no clearings and no cultivation, except of a few shrubs and flowers near the pretty white walled cottages, glimpses of which one catches, here and there, hidden, like so many bird-nests, in embowering foliage. Pleasant paths wind among the trees in ev ery direction, and in every direction one dis covers the unpretending, but neat and tasteful dwellings of a sylvan population, ensconced snugly behind their out-works of shrubs and vines, and surrounded on all sides by tall, sen tinel pines. In my rambles this morning, I discovered two Churches, a Town Hall, and a Post Office—all in the woods ! No one, I beleive, is permitted, under a heavy penalty, to cut down a tree, as it is believed, that if the country was cleared of its forest.it would be come unhealthy, like the region surrounding it. As it is, the place is in the highest degree healthful, both in Summer and in Winter—in fact, as in all my rambles. I discovered no grave yards, I conclude that the inhabitants are obliged to go elsewhere to die ; a circumstance which, it must be confessed, subtracts some what f om the advantages of the location ! In the forests of the Great West, I have seen the far-apart log-cabins of the squatters, each surrounded by its little clearing, and I have found in these cabins the honest and in dustrious, but rude and ignorant pioneers of civilization. Such a state of things seemed legitimate. But here, in the piney woods of the South, are found the elegancies and the pol ish of the city. When I say that the place is peopled by South-Carolina Planters,than whom a nobler race is not foud on the face of the earth, no further explanation is needed. 11. A FOREST HYMN. Stretching far on either hand, Rows of lofty columns stand. By the All-Wise Builder planned, For his temple olden ; And the vista’d aisles I tread, Are with verdure carpeted. Inwove with flowers golden. List I here no ehaunting choir ; Peals no organ on the air; But the “pine lutes” everywhere, Touched by unseen lingers, Yield their music to the breeze, Chiming in with birds and bees, ’Mong the Autumn-tinted trees, Where the sunshine lingers. God, thy greatness here I feel. Heeds my heart thy love’s appeal, At thy forest shrine I kneel, All my sin confessing! Here with strength my soul imbue. Light thy altar tires anew, Aid me to be pure and true. Father, with thy blessing! 111. WOOD NOTES. It is much, to one who has been shut up through all the long, hot Summer in the crowd ed and dusty city, merely to breathe the un eontaininated air of the woods, and lis'en to the song of the wild birds, and the thousand harmonies of Nature. The perpetual anthem ol’ the pines falls on my ear. A million of wire-like leaves thrill and vibrate,as the invisi ble fingers of the breeze sweep over them ! Now the vast ocean of sound swells grandly, the breeze strengthens, and anon it dies away in soft cadence. But, soft or loud, the harmony of Nature’s music is perfect. The song of the mocking bird, the chirp of the sparrow, and the cry of the vulture break in in perfect tune. Sounds of man’s causing alone make discord. IV. AUTUMN. Autumn here lacks the brilliant but transi tory beauty of the same season in New-En gland, but is not less lovely and genial. There, for a few brief weeks it appears decked with such lavish and gorgeous splendour, as to puts to shame the magnificence of courts and palaces, and then all is over, and then the hills and fields are brown, and the trees are bare. Here, for months, all na ture seems steeped in golden atmospheres, and the deep blue skies, netted about the horizon wiih soft, silver haze, breathe a perpetual ben ediction upon the half-sleeping earth ! The foiests are still green, with here and there an amber or russet tinge, and ten thousand flow ers bloom by the wayside and in the woods. I’he breezes are cool and bracing, but not fro.-ty,and they give new life to the body and new vigour to the mind. Nature is now kind ly and genial. Well may Autumn, as it mam f** U itself here.be called the “ Soft twilightof the slow declining year, All mildness, soothing loveliness and peace.” 1 bus weeks and months pass over, and what w e call Winter is half gone, ere we are aware of its presence. D. H. J. (Dnr (taip Column. The Delta of Blackwood. We have been frequently asked the question “Who is “Delta” of Blackwood’s Magazine ?” A writer in Whitaker’s Magazine, in an article upon “Modern Poets,” calls Eliza Cook “the “Delta” of Blackwood,” We are surprised that any one, at all acquainted with the poetry of Eliza Cook, and of “Delta,” should suppose their source to be identical, since their charac teristics are so widely variant. They are both marked by strong feeling, but the energy and eoncentrativeness which distinguish the effu sions of “Delta,” are wanting in those of Eli za Cook. A comparison of the “Old Arm Chair” of the latter author, which is a fair spe cimen of her verse, with the “ Casa Wapy” of Delta, or the beautiful poems in Blackwood for the last month, embraced in a “Wild Flower Garland,” will illustrate our remark. We have long regatded “Delta” as one of the finest poets of the day, and wonder that a collection of his verse has not been made, or if made in England, reprinted in this country. But we de signed ill this paragraph, only to say that “Del ta” is the nom de plume of D. M. Moir, and not of Eliza Cook. The Masquerade of Freedom. Under this title, Blackwood, for October, has a very spirited Poem, in which the treat ment of Hayrtau, at Perkins &, Barclay’s Brewery, is stigmarized as an outrage, unwor thy of the name and spirit of Englishmen. This, of course, we might naturally expect of the Toryism of Maga ; yet we do not know if the rebuke has not a degree of poetical jus tice in it. Among other pictures of freedom in masquerade, we have the following, which the writer evidently designed as a compliment to his Western brethren : “ Mysterious as Egyptian Sphynx, A perfect riddle, —who can solve her ? One while she comes with blazing links The next, she’s armed with a revolver ! Across the main, whene’er the shoe Upon her radiant instep pinches, To-day, she’ll tar and feather you— To-morrow, and she merely lynches.” An Epigram. “ The . Mercury * once, with honest rage, boiled over, When Barnum here a Mermaid brought to view, Its Jenny-phobia we may hence discover — For is not Jenny Lind a mer[e]niaid too? *The Mercury is a daily paper, of soma re putation, published in this city. The Puff Poetical. We think Mrs. Jervis ought to send us a box of her celebrated cough candy, for giving the following advertisement a place in our edito rial columns. If she does so, we will tell our “fifty thousand readers,” what two packages thereof, —which cost us fifty cents !—had upon “a miserable cold,” from which we suffered all last week. If she don’t— we won’t—that’s all! But now for A FACT IN RHYME. [NOT BY EDGAR A. POE.] I awoke one morning, cold and humid, With a cold the most consnm-ed. And the man with whom I room-ed, (W hat a bore !) Had a cough he could not cheek, oh ! My own it seemed to echo, And I wished he’d broke his neck, ah! Day before, But we said there’s naught of service, Save your candy. Mrs. Jervis, And we walked, though weak and nervous, To her door. We purchased the specific, And our cough, late so terrific, Grew quiet and pacific, Evermore. The Gold Mountain. The New-York Tribune says that the Gold Mountain is not fabulous. One of the editors of that paper has conversed with a person who has visited it. It lies in about lat. 33 deg. N., 250 miles East of Los Angelos in Southern California, and perhaps 100 West of the Colo rado. The region is as forbidding as it can be, without inhabitants, even Aboriginal, though there is a sparse population of savages on the Mahave River, say fifty miles East. The re gion is infested with rattlesnakes in incredible numbers, and the earth so full of minerals (es pecially sal teratus) that the water is absolutely poisonous. There is no water fit to drink within sixteen miles of the Gold Mountain, so called, which rises about 450 feet, rather steep ly from a canon, which has an elevation of someone hundred and fifty feet on the other side of it. The hills are composed of a dark hornblende rock, with perhaps a tenth of white feldspar intermixed with it; and the Gold is found in both, generally running in streaks or strings, though sometimes showing bulbs or lumps like a button. It has been found, by analysis to yield an average of about $2 50 per pound of the rock. * The Schoolmaster Wanted- The following is a copy, vrbatim, et litera tim, et punctuatim. of a letter received in this city, the original of which is carefully laid up, among our Curiosities of Literature. “ State of Northcarolina County September the 21st 1850 I take my pen in hand But Now Not What to say Mr I sean your Advertisement for Music and I don’t Now where you Can receve a letter or Not for I dont knw.

A movement is in progress among the Aus tralian Colonies of England, having in view independence, and a republican government. A leader in this movement is the Rev. Dr. Laing, a Presbyterian Clergyman. He propo ses to erect the Australian Colonies into the United States of Australia—a confederation resembling the American Republic. This is to be done peacefully and with the concurrence of England. * A Payng Magazine. The Tribune speaking of Peterson's Maga zine, for November, says: “It has articles from more than twenty contributors, principally fe[e]males. Fortunate correspondents, they ! Wanted to Know.

SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. (Cur 38nnk <Enblf. Losz Powers ; or the Regulators, A Romance of Kentucky, Founded on Facts. By Janies Weir. Esq. In 2 vols., 12mo. Philadelphia : Lippincott, Grambo k Cos. We have made our way through these vol umes with much the same sort of feeling with which we should traverse a rich, but tangled wild wood, at every step pushing aside obtru sive branches, as we stooped to gather the blossoms which adorn the ground. The story is one of the wildest of the fron tier genus, and is scarcely less novel in its inci dents than in its construction. To determine to what order of romance it belongs, would puzzle acuter powers of analysis than we pos sess,though if we were compelled to pronounce an opinion, we should say that was a serio-co mico-politico-metuphysico, and atUi-rhetorico story! The fertility of the author’s imagina tion is surpassed only by his recklessness of style, and, indeed, he tells us, in so many words that he “bids defiance to Lindley Mur ray and all of his disciples,” and declares his “independence of all grammar and all rules.” After this, the critic need not, ol course,take the trouble to shew that he has acted up to his vaunted independence. We would not, however, do Mr. Weir the inju.-tiee to intimate that his rhetorical outlawry is his misfortune—but boldly charge it upon him as his fault. His book exhibits a vast amount of talent, energy, and invention. That they have all “run riot” in the combination which he has presented, is a fact ior which he is amenable at the bar ol criticism. The story, however, as we have already intimated, is a narrative ol outlawry and desperate adventure, —“founded upon fact,” says the author, and re ferable to that period when Kentucky, Ten nessee, and other adjacent regions were infest ed by dangerous leagues of robbers and mur derers. The startling incidents which are in troduced, are, we suppose, bold fictions, like great beads, hung upon a slender thread of truth; and they are freely interspersed with episodes of rollicking fun, and rash adventure. The Kentucky Steeple Chase, the Dog Supper, and the botanizing Lieutenant, are so many “broad grins” on tiie otherwise tragical face of the narrative. I here is not lacking a deep and touching pathos in the delineation of some scenes in the sad life ot Mary Powers, and al so in the closing career of the robber Pilot. Ihe moralizing ol the author is, however, the most curious part ol his book. He utters his opinions with all the freedom of a stump speaker, and whether his themes be Religion, or P ashion, Morality or Politics,Union or Disunion —for he discourses of all these and a hundred other topics besides—he dashes into all, with the headlong speed of a steeple chaser, and seeks rather to relieve himself of his grotesque nations, than to compel his readers to adopt his opinions. We have attempted, thus briefly, to describe this new work, of and from “Old Kaintuck,” which we have no doubt will find a great many more readers than many of the tamer, less characteristic and more maudlin romances of the seenndem artem school. We cannot help admiring Mr. Weir’s reck lessness, even though it defends Judge Lynch, tepudiates Murray, and laughs at Milton ! Pictures from the Bible. By Alice B. Neal. With eighteen Engravings. Philadelphia: Willis P. Hazard. All who have read that delightful little vol ume of Mrs. Neal’s, which narrates “Helen Morton s I rial” will cordially welcome the au thor once more into the interesting field of ju venile literature. We certainly know of no American writer, who surpasses her in the power to interest children. There is a charm, a complete fascination about her writings, which, it is easier to feel than to analyze and describe. It may be their earnestness or their purity of style, or better still, both of these qualities together. Ihe present volume is a very felicitous grouping of picturesque narratives, from the Scriptures, constituting in their entireness, a full record of the chief events in the Life of our Saviour, and of his Disciples. Each story is beautifully illustrated by a picture, and the vol ume is full of artistic and moral beauty. It is admirably suited for Sunday School Libraries. Our city readers can obtain it at the store ot Messrs. George Parks & Cos , Broad-street. Household Surgery : or Hints on Emergencies. By John F. South. Philadelphia: H,Carey Baird. Books on “Family Medicine” are as plenty as blackberries, though not, we fear, quite as harmless in every body’s hands ! but popular treatises on Surgery are rarely met with,though quite as indispensable as the former. An “emer gency” not unfrequently arises both in town and country, in which the delay occasioned by sending for a surgeon, proves, it not fatal, at least injurious. An intelligent perception of the danger and of the means to be employed to avert it, would, in such acase.be invaluable; and it is precisely this sort of knowledge, which Dr. South’s popular manual will im part. It contains chapters on all the processes of Surgery, which any one beside a skilful professions might undertake. It instructs in the manner of making poultices, fermentations, washes, lotions, liniments, &c., &c. It sug gests what should be done, in regard to infec tions or contagious diseases, and has some val uable hints on ventilation. Altogether.it is a book for the people, which the people should very highly esteem. Free from quackery and charlatanism of every description, it is a safe guide for “emergencies.” The Life of Luther: with Special Reference to its Earlier Periods, and the Opening Scenes of the Refor mation. By Bamas Sears, i), D. Philadelphia: Ain. S. S. Union. We cannot too highly commend this work to our readers. It deserves every word of the high praise it has elicited from the ablest Christian Journals of this country. It is the most impartial and comprehensive memoir of the great Reformer that we have ever met with, and while the material of the work is ample and rich, and much of it the result of modern and laborious research, its style is exceedingly chaste, perspicuous, and forcible. The author’s distinguished attainments, and especially his intimate acquaintance with German Theologi cal Literature, eminently fitted him to be the biographer of the great-souled Luther. The work is for sale at the well-supplied store of George A. Parks & Cos. Christiana and her Children: or the Second Part of Cottage Lectures on Pilgrim’s Progress- Philadelphia: Am. S. S- Union. The repulation of the Cottage Lectures, upon that immortal allegory of John Bunyan’s, the Pilgrim’s Progress, is almost co-extensive with the bounds of Christendom, and we feel very sure that the Second Series, embracing the “Progress” ol Christiana and her Children, will be equally well received by the religious public. The style of these Lectures is simple, earnest and impressive, and their spirit thorough ly evangelical and practical. Every family would derive both pleasure and profit from the perusal of this, and also of the preceeding vol ume. George Parks & Cos. have it for sale. The Home : or Family Cares and Family Joys, by Fred, erica Bremer, translated by Ma.y Howitt, Author’s Edition. New-York: George P. Putnum, 156 Broad way. In this beautiful edition of Miss Bremer’s works, Mr. Putnam is giving them to us in a form worthy of their importance. The Home is a favorite with all her readers, and the char acters of the Judge, Elise, Petrea, and Mrs. Gunilla, are among her most charming concep tions, The lessons of truth, transparency, and confidence in all our relations with others, taught by “The Home,” render the book one of great value to all who can appreciate such teachings. Petrea is a favourite conception of Miss Bremer. She has reproduced her in more recent works, but the original Petrea, with her extraordinary nose, “ her turn lor every thing, whether good or bad, and her dangerous desire to make herself remarkable, and to excite an interest,” must always claim our preference. All Miss Bremer’s admirers, and they are num bered by thousands, should avail themselves of the opportunity offered by Mr. Putnam, to se cure handsome copies of her books. 1. Parker’s First Lessons in Natural Philos ophy. 2. Parker’s Introduction to the above. New-York: A. S. Barnes & Cos. We have before taken occasion to commend the first of these little manuals, as character ized by a happy simplicity and perspicuity of style. The latter, equally entitled to our appro bation. It consists of conversations between a mother and a child, and conveys instruction upon the first principles of Philosophy, in a very familiar manner. It is also illustrated by numerous wood engravings. Teachers would do well to introduce these primary books into their schools. Shakspeare’s Dramatic Works. Part XXVI. King Henry VIII. Buskoii: Phillips, Sampson & Cos. This magnificent edition of the great drama tist is approaching its completion, whan it will be unrivalled by any American edition, what ever. It does honour to the American press. £ljr 3Httsintl Wn rlk. Jenny Lind at Tripler Hall. —Our New York exchanges contain very glowing des criptions of the first Concert given by Mile. Lind at the New Musical Hall. It is spoken of by all as the most brilliant musical spectacle ever witnessed in that city, though we have our doubts whether the Reporters cherish a suffi ciently vivid recollection of the first and last nights at Castle Garden Amphitheatre. How ever, the scene at Tripler Hall had some fea tures of surpassing elegance, the intense bril liancy of its thousand Lamps, setting off’ to great advantage the decorations of the splendid room, and the rich and varied costuming of the audience, that filled it to its extreme capac ity. The “Come Sereno” of Somnambula, and the “Inflammatus” of the Stabat Mater were received with the warmest enthusiasm. The favourite Bird Song, which so astonished the Bostonians, was sung for the first time in New-York, and some pronounce it to be the greatest vocal triumph that the Nightingale has yet acheived there. At the expressed wish of Mile. Lind, Mr. Barnum has reduced the price of tickets to Three Dollars, excepting on ly for the seats in the First Circle, which are Four and Five Dollars, according to their posi tion. This arrangement will secure crowded houses for months to come. The Alpine Glee Singer. —Under this title, Messrs. M. H. Newman & Cos., of New-York have just published a very choice collection of Secular Music, arranged in four vocal parts, for choirs and Musical Societies. The volume contains one hundred and fifty pieces, embra cing many of the most popular airs of the day, and we know of no Glee Book that at all ap proaches it in merit. The arrangement of the parts is by Mr. Bradbury, whose high reputation gives ample guarantee of both the taste anti ef fectiveness with which his labour has been per formed. His own compositions, occasionally interspersed with the selections, are worthy of their position, and do great credit to his warm and genial musical temperament. We have not time to designate the gems of this fine col lection, but we can cordially bear our testimo ny that the book contains fewer ineffective pie ces than any collection which we are acquaint ed with. It deserves a large share of the pop ular favour. Mr. Robinson’s Concert. —We are sure that we only echo the sentiment of the large audience who attended the Concert on Wenes day Night, when we say that it exhibited a very superior degree of musical cultivation, on the part of the performers. The recitatives were well given, and the chorusses admirably effective, Mr. Speisseger’s instrumentation was all that wo could have desired, and rare ly have we heard the organ to greater advan tage than upon this occasion. We have not space to notice the performances in detail. A special mention, however, of the Alpine Cho rus, a beautiful Chant,adapted to Longfellow’s Poem, of the Angel Reaper ; and the brilliant Allegro Finale, “The Heavens are Telling,” from Haydn’s Oration of the Creation, is abso lutely due to the performers ; and yet, between these and other peices, we cannot help feeling that comparison would be invidious. Mr. Robinson’s choir would do credit to any Church in the land. We do not know where their singing is surpassed, or we may even say equalled. Certainly in no Protestant Church that we are acquainted with. Madam Biscaccianti. —The friends of this accomplished vocalist will regret to hear that she met with a severe loss, in the death of her only child, during the passage to Europe. Parodi.— This celebrated Italian singer, the reputed rival of Jenny Lind, is ex pected to arrive in New-York, this month. She cannot, however, renew the excitement which has attended the Swedish Nightingale.

This great singer is drawing large houses in Paris. She receives S4OO a night, only. New Mlsic. —Messrs. Win. Hall & Son, of New-York,have recently pub ished the follow ing new music ior the Piano Forte : Welcome to Jenny Lind, Valse pour le Pia no, par Strakosch. This is a brilliant Waltz, worthy of the great names connected with it. Fantasia sur des motifs Lucrezia Borgia. Romance from the Opera of Matilda. Melodie Irelandaise. Thema. “Come o’er the Sea, Maiden with me.” La Marcellina. A Mazurka. These four compositions are by Wallace, who seldom does any thing wiihout a full share of merit, and these will sustain his repu tation as a brilliant composer. Friendship Waltz. This is a simple and not very meritorious piece, by James Billak. O’ We beg leave once more to remind our musical readers that Wm. Hall & Son, have recently published three elegant volumes of Jenny Lind’s Music. Her Swedish Melodies English Ballads, and Operatic Songs, each complete in one volume. <Tiir Park Cariin.
