I PSALM CIV. 0 BV THE LATE BIGHT HON. SIR ROBERT PEEL. #0 ! worship the King All glorious above, O gratefullysing His power and his love— Our Shield and Defender, The Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, And girded with praise. O tell of his might, Oeing of his grace, Whose robe is the light, Whose canopy, space; His chariots of wrath, Deep thunder clouds form, And dark is his path, On the wings of the storm. This earth, with its store Os wonders untold, Almighty ! thy power Hath founded ot old ! Hath established it fast By a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, Like a puntle, the sea. Thy bountiful care What tongue can recite ? It breathes in the air, It shines in the light; It streams from the hills, It descends to the plain, And sweetly distils In the dew and the rain. Frail children of dust, And feeble as frail; In Thee do we trust, Nor find Thee to fail ; Thy mercies, how tender .’ How firm to the end ! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! 0 measureless might! Ineffable love ! While angels delight To hymn Thee above, The humbler creation, Though feeble their lays, With true adoration Shall lisp to Thy praise ! Assistant Secretary of State. Dudley Mann has received the appointment to this new and most responsible office. This gentleman has resided a long time in Europe employed in various diplomatic situations un der several different administrations ot’ the General Government. We learn from the Un ion that Mr. Mann “first entered the service ol the government as consul to Bremen. He was subsequently commissioned consul to the Aus tralian port of Trieste, but he declined the ao pointment. By President Polk he was sent on a special and confidential agency to the court of Hanover, and whilst there succeeded in ne gotiating treaties with the kingdom of Hanover and with the Grand Duchies of Oldenburg and Mechleuburg Schwerin, which secured to American commerce, especially to the southern staples of cotton and tobacco, important and most valuable privileges. “The first successes of Hungarian revolution induced our government to dispatch an agent to the scene of action, with instructions to give all possible legitimate encouragement and sup port to the struggling patriots. Without his knowledge, Mr. Mann was selected for this deli cate and hazardous mission; but the reverses and ultimate subjugation of the brave Magyars put it beyond his power to accomplish his pur pose. He was not too late, however, to incur much personal peril, nor too inactive to provoke the wrath of Austrian despotism. The fa mous Hay nau had issued orders for his arrest; and had he crossed the confines of Hunga ry, he would undoubtedly have been put to death. In Vienna he was watched and thwart ed and constantly threatened by the govern ment police. “In 1850 Mr. Mann was sent in a confiden tial capacity to Switzerland, which had just then accomplished the renovation of its constitution, and for that reason, as well as because of its free institutions, the especial mark of Austrian hatred. In what manner—with what feelings of joy and gratitude, Mr. Mann, the representa tive of the great republic of America, was re ceived by the unvanquished republic of Europe, is attested by his success in negotiating a favor able treaty of commerce and amity between the Swiss confederation and the government of the United States. Having accomplished his mission to Switzerland, Mr. Mann returned to Paris, where he is sojourning at this moment. His appointment is as honorable to him as it will prove serviceable to the country. The Eufaula Bridge. The past winter and hill have been noted for a multiplicity of heavy rains. Wide spreading and devastating freshets have occurred with o unusual frequency. Not only have our mails been delayed time and again, but the river has been so otten swollen beyond its usual limits, as to occasion a far more than ordinary degree of annoyance and hindrance to boats. And so much has the patience of some of the citizens! of Columbus been tried by this latter circum stance, that they are resolving upon legal mea- j sures to have the evil remedied. We see a re cent communication in one of the Columbus papers signed “Owners of Boats,” recommend ing that policy, and calling upon the city Coun cil to take the matter in hand, to employ com ” petenl counsel to institute suit to remove the obstruction, or to open a negotiation with the owners of the bridge to remedy the evil com plained of, by draw gates or by raising tbo bridge higher. We understand a petition has circulated among the citizens of that place, for the purpose of urging this step. As to the idea of removing the bridge entirely, we presume that is a, mere extra flourish, for trie purpose ot attaching greater importance to tae matter, lhe proposition of remedying the evil complained of by draw gates, or by raising the bridge higher, may perhaps meet with eon -8 deration. A lawsuit about the matter will be ;~* ‘ | a step of some trouble and expense, involving as j it will, strong prejudices, great interests, and an j i array of able counsel on both sides. We hop j S the people of Columbus will not get fr gh ene at the anticipa ed rapid growth of their city on account of the extension of their railroads. We j I imagine a plenty of these will supersede the ne ! cessity of so much use for the river. Those i i who are ready to pitch into a lawsuit, are som 1 times anxious to get rid of it. —Spirit of the j i South. (Times mu> Serif me l. j i COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 1, 1853. The Second Congressional District. Our little article on this subject has created quite a j flutter in the Alabama Journal office. Wo did re • gret the use of the epithet “babbling Journal,” as we j feared it might bo understood in a bad sense ; but the j reply in question so fully confirms the appropriateness of | the term, that we are quite relieved from ail uneasiness ias to its propriety. Instead of answering our questions, ! we are told that we will “be informed as soon as we i have any business to know,” —and the public are then j advised in extenso of the history of one of the Editors of the imes and Sentinel for some years past —all of which gossip may well be classed under the head of ; vain babblings. | The Journal seems to think we have grown to be “a j wise man,” and a “modest’’ since we settled in 1 Columbus ; we are sorry we cannot return the compli j ment to the junior of the Journal. His residence in | Montgomery lias had no perceptible influence on his j temper, or his politics—perhaps he was too old an of | fender. We will, however, extend the courtesies of our j refined city to the young gentleman, and hope he may i prove a3 susceptible to its elevating influences as he | seems to think we have been. Gome over Ben! The Journal is very particular to inform the public i that Mr. Hilliard will not be a candidate for Congress —but does not say a word about the aspiring Moss. The Journal thinks this paper has no business to be asking tough questions about the 2d Congressional District, and | as it is very lame at giving categorical answers, we will I not trouble it with another—but will somebody be good enough to explain this silene? Is Mr. Moss to run on the ticket of the Seott Party? Capt. Abercrombie, we j believe, is not a favorite with this class of politicians, as i lie refused to vote for the “Old Hero.” The Journal seems to think it the duly of an Editor to confine his attention entirely to his own district and State, and that any reference to elections in adjoining States ia an improper intermeddling with “the affairs ” of others.” This is a very narrow view of editorial du -5 ties, and was no doubt acquired by too long a residence > in a small place and will be corrected by a longer resi ■ dencc in Montgomery—a city almost as large as Col - ! umbus—a residence in which has, according to the Journal , produced so happy an effect upon us. We will further apologise for our rudeness in med dling “with the affairs of others” by stating that we have a very large circulation in the Chattahoochee river counties of the 2d congressional district in Alabama, j where Capt. Abercrombie is deservedly very popular, | and will be almost unanimously supported in. the next j race for Congress, whether he is nominated by the con i vention of the Scott whigs or not j We are sorry we are in such a humor for asking questions, but we must repeat our query : what has be come of the Whig Convention in the -21 Congressional District, to nominate a candidate for Congress when j there is one already in the field ? Will nobody answer ?-| Editorial Convention. We would be delighted to meet our brethren in Ma con in May next, and cordially sanction and approve of the call for a convention of Publishers and Editors. We would, however, suggest the propriety of discussing before hand, the objects and purposes of the convention. What can the convention do to advance the interests of the craft ? This is an important question, .and demands more thought for its solution than we can give it just now. Wo will suggest, however, one or two reflections which may call forth the sentiments of better informed persons. The crying evil - in our profession is the credit system. This ought at once to be abandoned. Another drawback is the character and habits of Journeymen Printers. The sober and industrious ought to be protected against the idle, vicious and roaming ; and we would suggest the propriety of employing no Journeyman who cannot produce satisfactory evidence of capacity and character. There are many other subjects of interest which con cern us, but which are beyond the control, as we con ceive, of a convention. • Among these are the rates of advertising and sub scription. Amount of circulation, size and location, must necessarily produce a difference in charges. Nor do we think any good result can flow from rules ofl eti quette. If a man has not the sentiments, feelings and culture of a gentleman, it is impossible to infuse them into him by formal rules. All such matters must be left to individuals to settle between themselves, in the various modes recognised by society as legitimate. Otir Book Table.

A Falsehood Exposed. Montgomery. March 80, 1853. Editors Times and Sentinel : Sirs : I understand from Mr. Wm. B. v\ Iley, Agent j Charleston and New York steamers, that small pox f prevails in Columbus, Ga., and gives as his authority, j the Editor of the Times and Sentinel . Mr. Wiley is interested in diverting the travel that j might pass over the Columbus route to Savannah and New York, .and the above report is freely circulated ; here on the arrival of the steamers trom Mobile and at j the railroad ears. Yours, &e. We do not know Mr. W ilky ; but we beg leave to in form him that if ho is circulating the report that Smail Pox exists in Columbus, Geo., on our authority, he is guilty of an unmitigated falsehood ; there is no ease of Small Pox in this city and there has been none here for several years. Will the Montgomery papers please copy this article. The Temperance Movement. Every friend of the Temperance Reform, whether he be for, or against the action of the Atlanta Convention, must deprecate any movement which tends to bring it before the people as a political issue, upon which par ties and candidates shall divide and quarrel. We un derstand that a proposition of this sort was submitted to the Atlanta Convention, but that it was voted down with great uua limity. In this, as in most other respects, the Convention acted discreetly ; and we understand from the leaders of the movement, that the greatest care will be taken to prevent a squabble upon this question in the coming canvass. Such a squabble we should re gard as a public calamity, and will set our faces stern ly against any candidate or party which shall attempt to lug it before the people. The question of license or no license, of liquor or no liquor, is not now in issue— and it will be time enough to test the popularity of “Jonny Barleycorn,” when the people shall be called on to vote for his banishment. This time may never come, and we would save the community from the long train of evils which will inevitably flow from a canvass in which the grog shop will be the central ques tion, until there are other and better reasons for it than the success of this or that demagogue. The Atlanta Conventionists will not ask the next Legislature to abolish the liquor traffic— that question will be left in abeyance until the people are permitted by Legislative action to vote directly upon it. The issue now before the people, is whether the Legislature shall continue to regulate the system of liquor license, or whether it shall be referred to the people in their corporate county ca pacity. This is the only question which can be legiti mately made at present, and the community may well suspect the motives of a candidate for any office who thrusts himself “before them as the special friend either of cold water, or hot liquor. Be sure, he is more inte rested in his own aggrandisement than in the public welfare. We are the more solicitous on this matter as the next election is one of the most important ever held in Georgia. A Governor is to be elected—a United | States Senator is to be elected—a Judge of the Superior Court is to be elected —three of the most responsible officers in the Government. To the fi/st, the honor of our great State is committed, and many of her highest j interests. The second, represents the sovereignty of Georgia in the Senate of the United States, and the critical condition of the country and of the South de mands that he be a sound Republican and a true man. To the third, are committed the-!rve,~4ib^?tics and pro perty of the people, and none but an able lawyer, and an upright man, can worthily wear the pure ermine of justice. In such an election, a citizen ought to be permitted to go to the polls and vote for the best men and the soundest principles, untrammeled and uncon trolled by any minor or local question. If the liquor question is dragged into the canvass, it will swallow up all other issues, and the black bottle and the pint cup will decide, in all probability, who shall be Governor, Senator, and Judge. We have therefore of set purpose avoided the discussion of the liquor question since our connection with this paper. We are sorry our example has luid no effect upon our cotemporaries, and that some of our leading and most influential papers are continually “Harping on my ; Daughter.” We beg them to let the question rest un- j til it is properly before the country, and warn all aspi rants for office to follow their example. In the coming | canvass our party will need its whole strength. Our ! enemies will leave no art untried to divide and conquer us. But if our legions will march with locked shields to the contest, we are assured of victory. Who can beat this f Our worthy Foreman, Mr. Samuel B. Harvell, on Wednesday last, set up sixteen thousand ems, in ten hours, in minion and brevier type —twelve ’housand solid and four thousand leaded. We think that a day’s work to be proud of, and defy any Printer in Georgia to beat it. This, however, is Sam’s “first jump,” and no one need enter the lists of competitors, unless he desires to be beaten, who cannot go *OOO better. Don’t all speak at once. Nomination for Whig State Officers of Rhode Island. Providence, March 24, 1853. A whig ticket tor State officers is announced this morning by the committee appointed at the late Whig State convention. The nominations are as follows ; For Governor —William W. IJoppin, of Providence, For Lieutenant Governor—Samuel Robinson, of South Kensington. For Secretary ofStatc —William R. Watson, of Pro vidence. For Attorney General —Christopher Robinson, of Cumberland. For General Treasurer —Samuel B. Vernon, of New port. The nominations give very general satisfaction, and j the ticket is decidedly the strongest in the field, as it 1 perfectly unites and harmonises the whig party.— N. Y. Herald. Corpus Ciiristi Emigrants. —By the arrival of the j ships Golconda and Howard, from Glasgow and Liver : pool, over one hundred emigrants have arrived in this city for Corpus Christ!, Texas, having purchased lands : from Col. 11. L. Kinney’s agent in London. These emigrants are of the first class, being emphatically an agricultural people, and their improvement of the lands in the Nueces Valley, which are the finest in Texas, must greatly increase their value. Corpus Christi, wo understand, has improved, within the few past years as rapidly as any town in Texas, and the greatest induce ments are offered emigrants to settle on these lands, which are daily increasing in value. Col. Kinney is ; now in this city, stopping at the City Hotel, where he j may be consulted by those who wish to purchase.— Delta. Collector of Savannah. —John Boston has been confirmed by the Senate as Collector of Savannah, - Fire. On Sunday, between 8 and 9 P. M., an alarm of fire was given, and in a short time flames were discover ed issuing from the Brick buildings, owned by Capt. John Dillon, northeast corner of Jefferson and Brougn ton Streets ; and occupied as follows : On Jefferson Street. —A. Mero, Baker shop; Lew ell H. Fiske, Shoe store; and John Riley, Grocery Store. On Broughton Street. —.1. 11. &T. Bishop, Tin ware Store; Neill Mcllugh, Dry Goods, and W. J. Hunt, as a Barber shop. The fire, it is supposed, originated in the store of Mr. Fiske. The goods and furniture, generally, were saved in a damaged state. The upper part of the buildings were occupied as dwellings. Mr. McHugh and Mr. Fiske were insured in the Mutual Company of this city; and Mr. Riley had an insurance of $3,000 in the Liverpool and London Fire Insurance Company. We did not learn whether the others were insured. There was no insurance on the ! buildings. The fire was confined to the block. — av. Courier. Pauperism in Massachusetts. —Anew system for the support of paupers is about to be adopted in Massa chusetts. Each’ applicant is furnished with anew suit of clothes, and told to go to work. If he pleads sick ness, lie is dispatched to the hospital, where, if he is | shamming, hospital diet soon brings him to his strength. If he runs off with his new clothes, a description of the j fugitive i3 dsipatched to the other almshouses, and if ! lie applies for relief to them, he is taken in and conipell- I ed to work, till he has paid for his outfit. This plan seems to be well devised to keep persons out of the | almshouse. From Havana. —The Havana correspondent of the ! Charleston Courier, under date of 21st inst-, says : Your readers will regret to learn that out much es teemed Vice President, Mr. King, is still in a very bad ! state. In fact it is said that he has not materially im > proved since he went into the Interior, although as is, I believe, generally the case with the diseases si mil iar I to that with which he is afflicted, some days he has ! been far better than on others, The Jacksonville, Fla., Republican says that a diffi culty occurred in Columbia county, Fla., about a fbrt night ago, which resulted in some respects seriously j and fatally- It is related that Mr. John S. Goodbread ! and A. 8. Goodbread had a dispute with Mr. Henry j Pratt, about the latter setting a fence on lire and enter ! ing the land of one of the Good breads- Shots were ex -1 changed between A, S. Goodbread and Henry Pratt, and a second shot fired by the former entered among a I crowd of negroes and children, killing a negro woman : and wounding one of Pratt’s children. ______ Later from Buenos Ayres. —Accounts from Buenos Ayres to the 20th of January have been received. The j city was still besieged, and the whole population was j under arms, endeavoring to drive off the insurgents, j There was no prospect of raising the siege. Washington Affairs. —Capt. Easly will retain the post of Commissioner of Public Buildings, in conse quence of the active part taken by him in exposing the | Capitol extension frauds. Elisha ‘Whittlesey is also entitled to retain the comp trollership of the Treasury in consideration of his faith of the public moneys. YVe learn that our late Representative in Congress, Hon. James Abercrombie, passed through town on Sun | day iast on his way to Pike court, —Spirit of the South. Pork.- —A writer in a Cincinnati paper estimates j that unless pork rules above sl6 50 a sl7 per bbl. in New York city, from two to three dollars will be lost on every hog packed in the Mississippi Valley this j season. Mr. G. P. Putnam has written an able and convinc ing letter to the National Intelligencer , in favor of in ternational copyright. Such a law, he urges, would not increase the price of books, and would benefit American authors quite as muck as it would those of England, lie : also thinks it would be advantageous to American pub lishers, who, as ho remarks, are generally in favor of international copyright. rn , . . i the cost ot running a passenger train from New York to Albany (one hundred and fifty miles) is about j thirty-two dollars. The Methodists of this country have built churches nearly at the rate of one per week during the eighty | seven years of their existence as a denomination. A. Washington correspondent of the Columbia Caro* | linian says: “The Palmetto Armory, built to manufac ; ture arms to fight the General Government, has re ceived a contract from the War Department to make arms for Uncle Sam.” Numbers of Jamaica planters, impoverished by the decline of property in the Island, have emigrated to Australia, [t is. !. riiat a son of Senator Soule will bo appointed Secretary of Legation at Paris. The Gray Mare the Better Horse.— ; The Bangor Whig relates that in the little town j of Eddington there is a family, consisting of six children, the mother of whom is robust, healthy and active, hut the lather is of quite a different j character. It had been arranged that the wife should go to California and make her “pile,” | whilst the husband should stay at home and take care of the children. This arrangement was mutually satisfactory, and the woman obtained her outfit for the land of gold. On arriving at ; New York she found an opportunity to cook ; during the passage out, and she immediately j sent back to her family fifty dollars of her funds, and has gone on her way rejoicing, and with the determination to get her share of the gold of California. Philosophers say that shutting the eyes makes | the sense of hearing more acute. A wag sug gests that that accounts for the many closed eyes that are seen in our churches every Sun day morning. | Booth, the tragedian, had the misfortune to have his nose broken by Thomas Flynn, some years since.

The particularly respectful and at the same time half-affectionate manners of all the blacks who came in my way, told also a story of tho past character of the city, confirming the impression of old family conservatism for which it is fam ous. I am inclined to read a third historic chroni cle in the average speed of promenade on the sidewalk here, which is considerably slower than on the pave of any other American city. — l was quite impressed with this last phenome non. A passage to Charleston from New York, to seethe let-alone magnolias, the looks of leis ure, and a few things taking their time as if eternity were really still on hand, might be ra tionally established, 1 think, among the pilgrim ages of refined curiosity, on our very fast side of the water. The inhabitants have a luxury here, cheap in a pine-timber country, but the enjoyment of which is very far beyond any cost, with so sandy a soil and so warm a climate—a plank road, forming a drive of some miles out of the city.— x\n excursion upon it, under very lovely guid ance, was one of bright lines in my companion’s and my own chronicle of Southern travel. We saw, here and there, upon the road side, one of those moss-draped trees which form so beauti ful a feature of the cemetery at Savannah-thorgh without the associations which there give a melancholy character to this pendant drapery, it has a perversely different expression. So rag gedly apparelled and standing in the dust bv the side of a common road, the “monarch of the woods” looks ludicrously Don-Cesar-de-Banzan ish. We. left Charleston on the morning of May Bth, and travelled across a couple of States, with fewer “experiences,” it seemed me, than I eves ; before found in the same amount of longitude.— It was partly the mode of travel, no doubt.— Railroads seem only to erase distance-stage coaches used to punctuate, emphasize and make it intelligible. But some part of the monotony of our traverse of South Carolina was due to its pine-barrens, no doubt—a class of landscape where Nature does not seem to be turning the elements to ordinary account. One sees nei ther vegetation nor inhabitants. At a cross road, I remember, we saw a quadruple waggon team almost becalmed amid the sand, with n sleepy looking negro on the nigh wheel horse ; and at a desert station, from which several sand tracks branched away, there was a private ear- our fe 1 lK\ v-passengei - but, ot the remainder of the great State that has such a will of its own, I remember nothing but one prairie of pond lilies and miles with wildernesses between. Perhaps the influence this kind of native soil might have on a mind that would thrive by being turned in upon itself, may account for the marked character of which this State seems to be a natural cradle. There are those who require to “see life,” and there are those who can stay at home and live it- - the domestic manufacture making the latter class better acquainted with the warp and woof article. VVe were eight hours crossing South Caroli* na—a disrespectfully brief travese of which 1 felt quite ashamed, on a first visit—and, crossing the Savannah River, we ascended a bank into the State of Georgia. This seemed the begin* ; ning of a higher platform of land, a different soil, and surface more uneven and picturesque. Augusta, the town we landed at, looked veu New-England-ish, to my eye. There was a lively air about the people in the streets, plenty of fresh paint on the houses, new signs, bright- ‘ c oloured bricks, broad streets with no ’grass in them, and an unequivocal accustoiped-ness to “enterprise” in the paces of the cart, horses. The ladies whom we saw shopping, looked very fashionable dressed, and metropolitan. I saw but one novelty which told of climate and usa ges different from the North—a very common looking man strolling along leisurely in his shirt sleeves and gazing into the shop windows, but with a negro benind , him carrying his coat ! ‘t his was the nearest approach I had seen, out of London, to the mounted “tiger” riding behind the dandy “swell” with the waterproof overall fastened to his crupper. The darkey footman was dressed in tow-cloth jacket and trouser and wore a white felt hat with ragged rim—his black skin underneath looking fat, shiny and comfortable. Ihe curious part of it was to see the quality of man that could afford to be hi master. He was, himself, hardly as clean and tidy as would be nocessary to pass for “respe - table’’ in a working-man at the North. Mom likely, he was an eccentric specimen, but there w r as no misgiving of his authority, in the air of hi faithful Juba. There must either be a generally diff used taste for park-scenery, in Georgia, or there is seme local advantage in thinking out woods and clear ing them of underbush, which appeals to the common policy of every inhabitant, Woodland of majestic trees, with open pasture- range b> neath, were never out of sight, from one side o the State to the other, [t was only odd—ms seeing these in England as appurtenances of ancient family estates, every aisle of tree-trunk? serving mainly as a note of admiration to some famous name—to see them here doing honor to nobody in particular. Passing through wind might be manorial estates ofgreat magnificence, 1 inquired in vain for the name of a proprietor. Nobody knew whose grandeur and dignity was there waving in the wind and making the hid sides imposing. It was like glorification going to waste. I was disappointed, (travelling as one does, in a rail-car, Kke a mailed letter in an envelope) not .to hav had the opportunity to see a specific
