RICHARDS, ) EDWIN HERIOT, $ £ ' aitors ’ iCliarlpstan, §. <£.; SATURDAY MORNING, NOV. 1.1851 AUTUMN LEAVES OF TRAVEL. NO. 1. New York, Oct. 20, 1851. My Dear II: Perhaps you did not think it ex actly fair for me to run away as soon as I had seen you installed in your sanctum, anti so leave you to bear the whole burden of editorial responsibility at the outset. But let it be some ralvo to your wounded spirit, to consider that by so doing, I have given, both to yourself and to our readers, the best possible proof of my confidence in your ability to meet all the de mands of your new position. And remember, also, I pray you, that I had fagged through a loug summer almost single-handed, and was really in need of a respite. Jf all this does not satisfy you, I can only add that I will make all possible haste to return. It was not a long premeditattd journey, this northward excursion of mine, and I do not know if a very considerable share of the plea sure it may afford me, will not be due to the fact of its improvisation. I have a fancy for sudden flights. I admire the man who started up from the breakfast table, and asked his wife for a clean shirt and his carpet bag, adding that business required him to go immediately to China! He was a genuine traveller, and I should shake hands with him, if I inet him in llong Kong Not quite so impulsive,however, was my departure from Palmettodom. I bade you and other friends “good bye,” in the most deliberate manner, and might probably have taken out a marine policy of insurance upon my life, but for my unwavering confidence in the good qualit.es of the “ Dudley” which was to bear me over the ocean waves to Wil mington. To her and to her companion boats of the Wilmington line, is justly due the ac knowledgement that no boats have anywhere performed more perilous service, for a series of years, with less disaster, than they. Was not my confidence reasonable then ? Did you ever lie all night upon a high shelf, with an irresistible conviction that the house was dancing a polka, to the imminent danger of pitching you off! If you have, you can form an idea of my first night’s voyage, sup posing the shelf to represent a berth, and the house dancing a polka, a steamer tossed on the billows of “a chopping sea.” I beguiled the hours occupied in passing over the North Carolina rail-way, by reading that lively novel, “Lewis Arundel, or the Railroad of Life,” a book, let me say in a parenthesis, that is quite deserving of the encomiums it has received. The Wilmington and Weldon Rail way has vastly improved of late, and so has the dinner at Goldsboro, the former without actual competition, and the latter as the direct Tesult of it, there being now three clamorous dinner bells ever appealing to the traveller, as the cars stop at the station. The same obser vation may be made with equal truth of the supper at Weldon, thanks to the march of improvement. The cars arrived at Petersburg, in Virginia, soon after midnight, and I had the interval until dawn for seeking what the hard so beautifully calls, “ Tired Nature’s sweet restorer, balmy sleep.’ 1 found it at the Bolingbroke House, and paid for it at the rate of a shilling an hour, the quality indifferent at that. Areally refreshing episode in the journey Northward, is the passage of the Potomac. The scenery of the river is varied and c harm ing, and the boat is a luxurious one, gliding quietly over the waters at the rate of nearly twenty miles an hour. Iw as deeply impressed by the slow, sad tolling of the bell, as the boat passed the spot where sleeps the dust of Wash ington. This beautiful tribute to the memory of the illustrious dead is, I believe, universally paid by steam boats while passing Mount Ver non. No sooner had the echoes of the tuneral bell died upon my ear than a broad white col umn loomed up in the prospective, renewing to tny sight the memory of the great and good. I trust that it will not be long before the cap stone of that noble monument will be carried up with rejoicings. The present elevation is only ninety-five feet, and it rises very slowly. Washington looks dull enough in the Con gressional vacations. I was pleased to see the grounds about the picturesque and Romanesque halls of the Smithsonian Institute, assuming order and neatness. The building is nearly finished. The chief improvements I noted in the metropolis, are & new and spacious hotel on the great Avenue, and the new station of the Rail-way Company, which is very extensive. Upon thirty-two huge columns of hewn gran ite, rests the roof of iron and wood. The cars for Baltimore, several in number, were densely •crowded, and now, for the first time in my Northward progress, did I lack “elbow room.” Saturday night, in a city, is the busiest of ail times, and Baltimore wore an air of life and activity, as I passed through its streets between the termini of the Washington and Philadel phia rail-ways, an inconvenient mile apart, for which, however, hack drivers and baggage porters have occasion to be joyful. The first token that I had of my approach to citydom in earnest, was the deep-toned fire bell of Philadelphia, and the subsequent clan gour of the engines, as they obeyed the loud summons. I slept soundly through the last instalment of Saturday night, or rather Suuday morning, in my favourite quarters at the VY ashington Hotel, itself a perfect type of neat, quiet, and elegant Quakerdom. 1 have before said, perhaps, that Philadel phia requires a sunny day to show well. Such was not Monday. At 4P.M. of its dull pro gress, I took the cars of the Camden and Am- Koy Rail-way, and was whirled swiftly across the plains of New Jersey. A part ol this road is laid with the heaviest rail ever used in this country. Its cars are the handsomest we have yet met with, and altogether it is a model rail way. At 9 o’clock, I deposited my baggage at the Howard Hotel, and forthwith departed in a Broadway omnibus upon an up-town mission, revelling in the luxury ot a long ride for a four-pence. I mean to tell you (but not until next week) what i found new and wonderful in j this American Babylon. The Irish nightingale fled on Monday—ochone ! “Flit” and our “Corresponding Editor” arc both in town,so “we three” are going to have a good time of it! Yours, and our readers, most faithfully, W.C. R. ANTI-SLAVERY SCHOOL BOOKS. The “English Reader” is one of our oldest collections of school-boy Oratory. There are some good selections in it. The topics which it embraces are generally chaste, impressive and patriotic. Many of the sentiments con tained in it, are in a general sense, such as we would desire to see impressed upon the under standings of American youth. “Lovell’s United States Speaker,” The “National Reader,” The “Young Ladies’ Reader,” “Columbian Orator,” “Scott’s Lessons,” The “Village Reader,” and numerous others, have been used for years, and are all, in some respects, valuable compila tions. We apprehend, however, there are few’ parents or teachers who are familiar with the whole of their contents, or they would demand expurgated editions for the use of their children. The sickly sentimentality of the poet, Cowper, whose ear became so “pained,” and his soul “sick with every day’s report of wrong and outrage,” that it made him cry out in agony for “a lodge in some vast w ilderness,” where he might commune with howling wolves and pan thers on the blessings of liberty, (?) stamps its infectious poison upon many of the pages of these works. Hear his wailings on this dis tressing theme: “ Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys; And worse than all, and most to be deplored, As human nature’s broadest, foulest blot, C hams him, and tasks him, and exacts his sweat \Vi th stripes, that mercy, with a bleeding heart, Weeps when she sees inflicted on a beast. Then what is man ! And what man seeing this, And having human feelings, does not blush And hang, bis head, to think himself a man? I would not have a slave to till my ground, To carry me, to fan me while I sleep, And tremble when I wake, for all the wealth I hat sinews bought and sold have ever earned. No ; dear as freedom is, and in my heait’s Just estimation prize’d above all price ; l had much rather be myself the slave, And W’ear the bonds, than tasten them on him. YY e have no siaves at home—then why abroad? And they themselves once ferried o’er the wave That parts us, are emancipate and loos’d. Slaves cannot breathe in England: if their lungs Receive our air,that moment they are free; ! They touch our country, and their shackles fall. That’s noble, and bespeaks a nation proud And jealous of the blessing. Spread it then, And let it circulate through every vein Os all your empire: that where Britain’s power Is felt, mankind may feel her mercy too.” From the American First Class Book, page 185, we quote another more modern sentiment, | which bears no less higher authority than the name of the great Massachusetts lawyer, Mr. Webster: | “That ocean which seern9 to wave with a j gentle magnificence, to waft the burdens of an j honest commerce, and to roll its treasures with a conscious pride ; that ocean which hardy in ; ilustry regards, even when the winds have ruf ! lied its surface, as a field of grateful toil; what I is it to the victim ol this oppression when he is ; brought to its shores, and looks forth upon it | lor the first time, from beneaih chains, and ! bleeding with stripes? What is it to him, but I a wide-spread prospect of suffering, anguish, ! and death? Nor do the skies smile longer; nor is the air fragrant to him. The sun is cast down from heaven. An inhuman and cursed traffic has cut him off in his manhood, or in his youth, from every enjoyment belonging to his being, and every blessing which his Creator in tended for him.” These will do for the present. h. HACKER’S STEAM CAR FACTORY. Oq the square in King-street, opposite the Upper Guard House, is an extensive establish ment for the manufacture of Rail Road Cars by steam. The proprietor, Geo. S. Hacker, Esq., is a native of Charleston, and well known as one of our most industrious and energetic fel low-citizens, who has been all his life a thor ough working man, and from the various posi tions of responsibility and importance which he has filled, in connection with the affairs of the South Carolina Rail Road Company, and their workshops, perfectly familiar with the business which he has undertaken. The experiment of opening a large manufactory for supplying Pas senger and Freight Cars for our Roads origi nated with him, and has, we learn, proved emi nently successful. Several of the elegantly furnished and substantially constructed Cars on our Rail Road, which, with their luxurious sofas and arms-charms, now afford so much comfort and repose to travellers by this mode of conveyance, have come from the Charleston Factory, and speak well for the consummate skill and good taste of all concerned in its I management. Indeed, we do not see why any Cars of Northern manufacture should be used at all on our roads, unless on account of the in ability of the manufacturers here to supply a sufficient number to meet the increasing de mand. Mr. Hacker’s Factory is one of the most complete establishments we have ever seen. Every thing is done by machinery, and chiefly by native workmen. The lumber is obtained from the neighbourhood of the Edisto, in its rough state, and passed through all the various stages of preparation for use. Ma chines for planing, tonguing and grooving, mor ticing, &c., have been erected. About three to six Freight Cars is the average of work turned out per day. Mr. Hacker is determined to furnish both Passenger and Freight Cars, in as elegant style, and on as liberal terms, as they can be obtained from the North, and asks nothing more than a lair opportunity to enter into equal competition. With the rapid exten sion of rail roads in this and neighbouring States, there is ample room for several Facto ries of this kind, and no reason why this one, which has already accomplished so much, should not continue to meet the most sanguine expectations of its founders. h. CITY NOVELTIES. The season of gaiety and amusement hav ing fairly set in, we may expect to find some material with which to render this department of our sheet interesting. The winter campaign, with its balls and parties, theatricals, races, circus clowns and monkey shows, Ethiopian serenades, Mesmerizers, Phrenological Lec tures, Jugglers, impostors, pedlars and manu facturers of innumerable curiosities, its Pano ramas, Fairs, Concerts, Scientific Lectures, College Exhibitions, Courts, Legislative speech es, and Conventions, is yet to be chronicled in its true colours, and we are disposed to do it ample justice. With some of the attractions enumerated we have no sympathy whatever nor shall we permit our columns to be made the medium of indiscriminate puffing, by which folly may be glorified, or imposture screened. ; Repeatedly as our people have been taken in, year after year, by strolling vagabonds, who come here to prey upon their credulity and their purses at the same moment, there can be no doubt that the same game will be played over again and again, and we design to warn them against if. At the same time, we are ready to award justice to merit, from whatever quarter it may proceed. YVe would not deprive our friends or ourselves of the amusements which w'e have, but we dislike to see them fleeced. YY’e would not decry every thing that emanates from ’he North, merely because it does cotne from there—nor flatter into notoriety whatever has “Southern” appended to it, whether good or bad. Nevertheless, it is a notorious fact, that, in every ease in which we have been out- j Heroded, and made to believe that “black was j while,” and then astounded by sudden depar- j tures of our guests to “worlds unknown,” it j has been either from the hands of Brother Jon- I SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. athan, away down East, or else from our friends from the opposite hemisphere. No won der, then, that we should look upon his move ments with some degree of solicitude. The crying evil with us is, that we do not sufficient ly discriminate. YVhile our Scientific Lecture Rooms and chaste Musical Soirees, our Tem perance Halls and Galleries of the Fine Arts, are often deserted, we find multitudes in a stale of most resigned and meek gullibility, rolling up the whites of their eyes in amazement at the legerdemain tricks of the be whiskered wizard, grinning at the stereotyped and pointless jokes of the clown, or swallowing the nauseous doses of some mountebank, who comes with a Mesmerizer’s “chain,” a Galvanic Battery, or a Magnetic Telegraph, to cure the good folks of all the ills in the catalogues of our Nosolo gists. This is all radically wrong. Let us separate the wheat from the chaff, of course using due precaution that we may not, in cast ing out the tares, destroy the wheat also. h. 33'Mr. Heriot is absent from his post this week, being in attendance at the Great State Fair, in Macon, Geo. Our readers may expect a full account of its doings in our next issue. /mginrnts from nnr pnrtfulin. Uses of Moustachios. These little phiz-ical appendages, which old folks generally look upon with such pious hor ror, and young ladies particularly with such unmistakeable smiles ol approbation, are call ing forth countenance and patronage from very high sources. Two influential Military Jour nals have published letters, strongly advocating the cultivation of them as indispensable insignia fortn/anf-ry regiments. A writer in the United States Service Gazette, suggests that the mous tache be worn by both Army and Navy; that he advocates it from uo foppish freak, but as highly conducive to the health of all those who are exposed to night dews and vicissitudes of climate ; and mentions a case of an expedition, among the members of which fever prevailed, assuming a less malignant type among those who wore these antidotes. The hair on the lip protected the nostrils and caused the air to be Tariffed before it reached the lungs. If this be so, there must be, sooner or later, a revolution iu public sentiment on the subject of the Moustache. YVe confess we have been heretofore iuclined to look upon it as a barber ous relic, too foppish for plain people in gen eral, and Editors in particular; and have there fore never been ambitious of excelling our neighbours in the cultivation of them. A few more developments, however, will b-3 required, as our forefathers have taught us that “common prudence dictates that old and long tried sys tems should not be changed for light and tran sient causes.” It is evident that the custom of wearing moustachios, and valuing them highly, bears “the sacred stamp of antiquityfor w r e read in history that, nearly three centuries ago, when Philip 2d sent the young Count de Castile to Rome to congratulate Sextus the Fifth on his advancement, the Pope hastily said, “Are there so few men in Spain that your King sends me one without a beard ?” “Sir,” said the fierce Spaniard, “if his ma jesty possessed the least idea that you imagined that merit laid in a beard, he would doubtless have deputed a goat to you—not a gentleman.” Medical College of South Carolina.

YVe now and then, in our scissor-ings, meet some remarkable coincidences and curiosities, of which we intend to give our readers the benefit. One of the most ingenious exemplifi cations of the fact that, theie is something in a name, we find in a stray copy of an old peri odical work. It is as follows: I AwoXtuv IV lloXcwp VII O \c(OV V I Aea> 111 Ew*’ V 12, II It is curious that the word Napoleon, taken m the above order, will, 1 y dropping a letter each time, form a sentence of which the fol lowing is a translation : Napoleon being a lion, from a lion, going about a destroyer of cities. This may be “all Greek” to some of our friends, and so it is with us. It is only by em ploying the Greek characters, C 9 written and arranged above, that the coincidence is pro duced. To all who are familiar with the ca reer of Napoleon, this paradox cpmmends it self at once, as one of the most remarkable cu riosities of literature on record—a.vi how the man who first found it out, got on the track of it, is infinitely more curious. The Institute Fair. Gold Medals are offeree for the best speci mens of home products in the several depart ments of Industry enumerated below —to be awarded at the approaching Fair, commencing on Monday, 17th inst.

The new Omnibus Line between the Ex change and Line-street, has been the great no velty of the past fortnight The pedestrian’s occupation's gone, now, i nce any one of the sovereign people can have a ride behind a pair ot gay steeds for a fvurpence —the cheapest cash price. The Omnibus is, as its name im ports, for all —at least, all who know how to behave in public. It will be a convenience to many business men who do not keep vehicles or horses, and will doubtless be well patronized. The line will continue ruining daily, (Sundays excepted,) leaving Line-street at 7 o’clock, A- M., and the Exchange at o’clock, A. M., and continue half hourly to leave each of these stations until 9 o’clock, P M. Incredible! The papers speak of a man in some North ern city, who performs the astonishing feat of walking along the under side of a raised mar ble slab, with his head downwards. Alas! what is man, after all, when the utmost stretch of credulity cannot give him the credit of per forming a feat which the merest worm of the dust does repeatedly evt ry day, (the newspa pers to the contrary, notwithstanding.) The caterpillar may scale the most inaccessible walls witli safety, whilri, if he ntlompto to xvalli out of his usual course, it is “heels over head” with him. Love—What is it? A modern writer defines it to be “ a sweet contagion, which attacks people with great se verity between eighteen and twenty-two. Its premonitory symptoms are sighs, ruffle-shirts, ringlets, bear’s grease and whiskers. It feeds j on moonlight and flutes, and looks with horror on ‘biled pork’ or baked beans.” Wonder what he defines that kind which attacks young folks between twenty-two and seventy; and if it has any premonitory symptoms.” h. £lje Itfnrlit nf ilrt. The American Art Union. —YY*e are pen- j ning this notice at no great distance from the Galleries of this popular Institution, where we beguiled the greater part of the evening, in company with several friends, among whom was a distinguished artist, several of whose works embellish the walls of the Galleries, i His familiar acquaintance with the pictures and j his ready courtesies, greatly facilitated our ob- ! servation, and saved us much tedious reference j to the pages of the Bulletin. Both the spa- j cious Galleries are now nearly filled with pic- j tures, there being over three hundred upon the | walls. Ol course there .are some of such slight I merit that it escapes detection altogether; but j we are free to say, that the majority of the j works indicate much talent and taste, and not ! a few of them are exquisite gems ot Art To single these out for remark is not exactly our i intention, and yet some special notice is due to | them. Perhaps the most imposing picture in the Exhibition is Rosseter’s impersonation of the ideals of Moral, Intellectual and Physical Beauty, beautiful and faithful alike in design and in colour. A glowing picture of “ The Amazon and her childien,” by Leutze, attracts the attention of all. In the historical depart ment, the largest picture is catalogued as “Mur ray’s Defence of Toleration.” It is from the pencil of Rothermel. Glass has two admirable semi-historical pictures, entitled The Departure for Naseby and The Return from Naseby. This artist delights in contrasts, and presents them effectively. In the important department of Landscape, there are many fine paintings, from Durand, Doughty, Church, Kensett, Crop sey, Huntington, Richards, Cranch, and others. Leutze has also a beautiful landscape. In por traits, we saw’ nothing to surpass Mr. Flagg’s “Isabel,” the heroine ot “Measure for Mea sure.” Several charming pictures by Peele, attracted our notice, tnd we lingered with pleasure before two or ;hree works by a lady, Mrs. Lely Spencer, whom we subsequently saw among the throng of visitor*. The Galleries are crowded upon every seasonable night, and although there is no admission fee, the visitors are, almost without exception, well-behaved. Is not this owing, in great part, to the refining influence of Art ? All classes throng to the Galleries—the rich and the poor, the merchant prince and the humble artizan. We saw po verty there to-night, but happily Poverty does not imply the absence of taste, and it is a mat ter of rejoicing that the exquisite gratifications of the Arts are afforded at no cost to those W’ho could not pay for their enjoyment. We rejoice in the success of the Art Union, for the great good it is accomplishing—a good not quite unniixed perhrps with ill, but still of a degree and extent high and ample enough to atone for occasional mistakes in management. Webster Replying to Hayne.— This pic ture by Healey, is now open to the public on Broadway. It is certai ily a most striking and remarkable work, full <f life and vigour, and exhibiting great effectiveness of grouping and colour. The spectator’s wonder is excited y the fidelity of the portraits, not only of the im mediote dramatis personte, but of the Senators and distinguished visitors. There are upwards of 125 life-size portraits upon the canvass. The work has cost the artisl four years’ labour, and he estimates its value at SIO,OOO. It is stated, in the Art Union Bulletin, for October, that it is destined, after an extensive exhibition by the artist, to fill a niche in Fanueil Hall, as the property of the city of Boston by purchase. €ijt jMnstrnl itfurlir.

Miss Jenny Busk. —The Southern Press, Washington, thus heralds the advent of this young American Cantatrice:—“lf this young ladjv-child, we ought to say, for she is only twelve years of age—preserves her present compass of voice, with the development of wonfllnhood, she will he one of the greatest singes of the age. She is doubtless as great a musical phenomenon as Jenny Lind was at her age, and under t.-.c tuition of Garcia or Me', v**fcer, will become as celebrated. She is AOi''Wight out by a speculator, nor as a ne cessary means of living. She is the child of highly respectable persons, in good circum stances, and has been brought before the public under the earnest solicitations of musical pro fessors. They say, and say rightly, that such a talent should not be buried. Baltimore will yet be proud of her.” (Pur 3Bnnlt £atilf. The Home Book of the Picturesque.—W r e have looked over a copy of this unique book, and found it fully up to the expectation we had formed of it, from the notices of the New’ York press. It is indeed an exquisite book—a large quarto, embracing thirteen highly finished line and 6tipple engravings, from original pictures by 9uch artists as Durand, Cole, Huntington, Kensett, Richards, Church, Talbot, Gignoux, YVier and Cropsey. Among the gems of the collection, we are proud to place the only Southern picture it embraces—a view’ in the Alleghanies of North Carolina, by Mr. T. Ad dison Richards. It is a lovely scene, unsur passed in beauty by any of its companion pic tures. The text is from various able pens, and of varied interest. YY’e can do no less than say of the work, that it docs credit alike to its enterprising publisher and to American Art. YVe shall notice it more fully hereafter. The Home Book of Beauty. —This book is j somew hat kindred to the one just noticed, but even more expensively produced. It is a superb quarto, embellished with thirteen lovely female faces, all from actual portraits. YVe can only thus briefly announce its appearance, and be speak for it the patronage of every admirer of female loveliness. (Dur Cnntnnfiarnrirs.

The “Allg.

It is said that they intend leaving Eu rope in search of Africa.
