*&&&$*? - ** “ V • j [From the Constitutionalist &. Republic.] To James Hamilton. Turpi steernin honcsturn .” Praise to thee, Hamilton, Fidelity’s son, Praise which y*ur high noble spirit hath won, A spirit to spurn tho priestcraft of schools, That would bias right minds and make them its tools. Honors yon have lost, for the love of the Truth, And principle leavens the soul of your yon'h ; But honors you have won, and your fame is begun By your wrongs to be wiitten on the face of the sun Yes, the genius -f Yale is perverted at last, The die of her destiny Is fearfully cast, Centennial glories now pale on her brow, Her science is darkened by bigotry now. Right, right are your words, and rightfully spoken ; For the links of this Union are yet to he broken, When learning, all hoary with the labors of ages, Gives fiction approval by the dogmas of sages. Oh shame that “National Yale” should depart, From wisdom that templed her name in the heart; But memory now shall return to the spot, And sadly brood over her history’s blot. Shades of the mighty dead, no more may ye wait, Mid-*t the a roves of your Yale, di-honored of late, Alma-Mater revert s not the scroll of your names ; Come, inspire the South with your patriot flames. Let enterprise, fired by our - rongs at the North, String her sinews again, her treasure* pour forth, And Southern hearts burn with a holier zeal, And Southern hands build for their glory and weal Return to your land, thou patriot-son ! And gird on the armor of mind, Hamilton, And place thy brave breast in the van of your State, That sooner or later must fight for its fate. Yalensis. Cave Spring, Ga., March 11. The Contest Ended—Gen. Pierce Victorious. SPLENDID SCHEDULE OF NEW YORK NOMINA TIONS. The struggle is over. The President has been j too strong for the Premier. General Pierce is President. Let the New York democracy te jnice—hard shells and soft shells—hunkers and barnburners—not omitting the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, for they are all included in the following masterly schedule of New York ap pointments, which, according to our telegraphic advices, were sent into the Senate yesterday : Offices. Appointments. Sort of Shell. Collector Daniel S. Dickinson Hard Sub Treasurer.... John A. Dix . Soft DistrictfAttomey.. ..Charles O'Connor Hard. Marshal Abraham T. Hillver -Hard. Naval Officer Heinutt J Redfield Soft. Navy Agent Conrad Swackhamer Hard. Surveyor John Cochrane Soft. Post Master Isaac V. Fowler Soil. The fight between Secretary Marey and the hard shells was on the Colleetorship, and al though he succeeded in excluding Augustus Schell, the appointment of Daniel S. Dickinson, we should suppose, would b still more unpala table to the Secretary of State. The difference is. that, instead of a subordinate officer, the com mander in-chief of the hard shells, (who, more than any other man, is responsible for the defeat of the movement for the nomination of Governor Marcy at Baltimore,) is made the Collector of this port. We presume that Mr. Dickinson will accept. He will make a faithful and capable officer, or his past distinguished public services go for nothing. But tle skeptical in Marcy’* generous dispo sition to compromise this difficulty think that hi* consenting to the nomination of Dickinson n.i\ be but a trick at last. Ibe Collectorship may interfere with Dickinson’s for 185(i. He may, therefore, decline it. Perhaps Marcy feels pretty certain that lie will; and, m that event, having made the utmost concession to tlie hard shells he may vet secure the ap pointineut of a soft shell. Augustus Schell seems to have some misgiving of this sort ; for we understand that he lias telegraphed his friend Dickinson to accept the Collectorship, at all hazards. What says Mr Dickinson ? Shall we have the tight over again, or not? Mr. Schell, it seems, failing in the Collector ship, declined anything else in our city list, and is, therefore, left out entirely. Perhaps he may be offered something else , or he may be satis fied with the triumph which he has achieved for the hard shells, notwithstanding he gets no share of the spoils. Something ought to be done for Mr. Schell. Mr. Charles O'Coune , as District Attorney, is the next most prominent and satisfactory nomination for the hard shells. We trust it will meet the approval even of Prince John Van Bu ren. The sons of the fimeruld isle will cer tainly appreciate the compliment. Abraham T. fiillyer, for Marshal, will do; but we have not yet been informed whether Captain Rynders consents to this branch of the compromise or not. John A. Dix—next to Marcy and the Van Burens the most conspicuous of the barnburner soft shells—no man will question as a first rate practical appointment for Sub-Treasurer. But for his free soil aberrations and proclivities, for which, it is said, he has repented, he might have occupied to-day one of the very highest posi tions under the government at Washington. As an offset to Daniel S. Dickinson, Mr. Marcy will doubtless console himself that Gen. Dix is a Rowland for an Oliver. We have already given a full account of Mr. Heman J. Redfield—a makeweight to the soft shells, and the Premier particularly, for the loss of the Collectorship. He has, too, the authenti cated certificate of an old fogy, which is better than all. Mr. Conrad Swackhamer, for Navy Agent, is not so widely known. W T e have asked for infor mation concerning Mr, Swackhamer. Can Hon. Emanuel B. Hart furnish us with his life and public services ? Swackhamer is a strong name, any how. John Cochrane, for Surveyor, has beer an ac tive politician, around the edges, and has the reputation of being a pretty strong soft shell. Isaac V. Fowler, for Postmaster, is a respect able appointment. Weho;e he will prove him sell a worthy successor of Mr. Brady, and hurry up the mails. And thus the w ork is done at last. It was a great issue, that of dividing tlie spoils of this Em- City, Tht fate of the < tsusoyratic party io this State—the fate of the cabinet, and of the yarty throug iout the Union, hung upon the di- \ vision of spoils. ’I heir distribution was a task of nice and difficult responsibility. And when we find that the chiefs ot the hard shells and soft shells had to be b* ought into the res cue, we can appreciate the magnitude ot the occasion iu the cabinet. The enti-e schedule is another striking illustration of the tact and sav ing discretion of General Pierce. J Now, let the seven or eight hundred whigs in j office hei ? turn their attention to the sweets of j piiv tc life O', if they have a taste for adven > tu e, let them look at the number of whips that j are up for California and Australia, and the cent intelligence of the astonishing quantities oi j gold daily turned up in those outside countries. And let the hungry democracy be civil, and keep cool, iu their sc ram pie for the plunder which the poor whigs must disgorge. Finally, if Gov. Marcy should conclude to go to England, we shall y T et have a reorganiza tion of the cabinet, resulting from the contest on the New York Colleetorship. — N. 1. Herald (Times ani) Smiincl. COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. ~ FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 8, 1853. An Ungraceful Mirrender. CAPT. ABERCROMBIE TRIUMPHANT. i We have been much amused by an Editorial in the j Alabama Journal of the 31 at ult., headed ‘ l Capt. Aber- j cro” kie—His Position.'’ It affords the finest ilius- j tration we have seen of a man who has the ‘’malevo lence to strike, but not a fang to wound.” The Journal says—“We regret that Capt. Aber- j crombio should have determined upon the step which i lie has taken, as it is contrary to all the precedents of the Party, and in direct opposition to its usages.” W T e i are not certain that our recollection is correct, but we j think Capt. Abercrombie can find a precedent in the j conduct of his illustrious predecessor. Once on a time j Henry W. Hilliard voted for the repeal of the Whig j Tariff of 1842, and in favor of the Democratic Tariff of j 1840. This raised a storm of opposition in the Whig j ranks, and if our recollection is not at fault, u W hig ! meeting was held in Tuskegee, in which his conduct j was denounced. There was no convention, however, ! held that year, if we are not mistaken, though one was j loudly called far in some quarters, and Mr. Hilliard was sustained by the almost unanimous vote of the Demo cratic Party. And this, with the instance now on hand, suggests to us the reflection that the whig party of the 2d congressional district is never dissatisfied with its representative until he takes southern ground. Mr. Ililliurd in part forfeited its confidence hy voting against a northern tariff, and Capt. Abercrombie lias incurred the displeasure of some of its leaders by voting against the Candida eof the north for the Presidency. Com ment is unnecessary. But this is not all the Journal says in reference to Capt. Ab rcrombie. The following sentence is equally pointed : “We must, however, he permitted to express the opin’on than five consultation with his party friends # * * would at least have been treating them with | that courtesy *nd respect which it sccijas to us they | were entitled tout his hands.” ! The concluding B<-ntenc s contain a double entendre: \ we leave it to our readers to put their own construction j upon it. Here it is : | “It may he. however, that they are so highly grati ! fied at the course which our late representative has pur i sued, that they will run no candidate in opposition to j him. Well, he it so; we shall then have an easy time ! of it, and will l>< able to congratulate the democracy upon the fart that they hate h e.n so easily satisfied .’’ ; The Journal ta\s it -‘has tin idea that tile whin par ;tv in the riis', riel will put another candidate in the field” j and “se. h very little necessity f*r a convention” “if it is Opt. A.’s intention to run any how.” The Journal ; regrets “that any thing should have transpired to throw contusion into our ranks at this particular juncture of ! affairs” and consoles itself and its readers “by the philoso -1 phie reflection that what can’t be cured must be en ! dured.” All of which taken together means, we pre sume. this—“we are opposed to Capt. Abercrombie, j he forfeited our confidence, distracted our councils, un j dermined our policy and threw distrust upon our pat riotism by voting against General Scott: we would beat ■ him if we could; the only way, however, to do this, is ; to g. t him into a whig convention ; this he sees and | knows—he will run any how—‘‘what can’t be cured | must be endured,” and therefore —“ let him run ,” and i may be, one of us can get the succession.” The Future of Mexico. The arrival of Santa Anna in Mexico lias turned all eyes in that direction. Great events are foreshadowed by this occurrence. The General is unquestionably the Great Mexican, and is yet destined to play an im portant part in the history of this continent. He cher ; ishes an undying hostility to our Republic—and his Mexicanism is a furious passion. This hostility com- I meneed at San Jacinto, when and where his vaulting ambition met with a fata! overthrow, an i was confirmed I by the long succession of defeats which followed him 1 from Buena Vista to the city of Mexico. Nor need it j be disguised that Santa Anna’s private property waa I wastefully and maliciously destroyed in many instances j during the occupancy of Mexico by our troops. He has, therefore, private griefs to gratify as well as national injuries to avenge. He has but recently given ; vent to his fierce antipathy against the United States • through his agent Escobar; and we may, therefore, i reasonably expect that the whole policy of his adminis- ! tration will be inimical to the United States, and that j he will leave no opportunity unimproved to inflict injury j upon us. Whether the remembrance of past defeats ] will deter him from open war with us we cannot say. , Tie may well regard the last war as an unsatisfactory j test of Mexican chivalry. He was called to participate j in it unexpectedly and was forced to enter into battle : with such munitions and troops as he could pek up on j an emergency. It is not uurt asonable for him, there- j fore, to hope that with an army raised, equipped, and drilled under his own eye, he might expect to retrieve the misfortunes of the past, and plant the Mexican standard on a field wrested from the hated “barbarians of the north” We would not, therefore, be surpris. and if, under the influence of wound and prid , furious liatr. and j and the hope of victory, this boasted Napoleon of the j West should plunge his miserable people i to another j war with the Unit'd States. The result of such a con ! test cannot be doubtful. The niougrel raees of Central j America are no match for the stalwart men of the j north, ami will bt overcome in every contest where j numbers are at all equal. Another war with Mexico j will, therefore, result as the last, in the defeat of the j Mexican anna 5m every kittle, tbs subjugation of the * who] country and its annexation to the United States. Our citizens rushed fa the last war with a shout, and the brilli int success which has attended the heroes who bore aloft the flag of the country in that contest, will stimulate every young inan of ambition to emulate their career—and the United States will pour her armed le gions through the gorges of her mountains like a eon suming flood. It may be, however, that the remembrance of Buena Vista will curb the ambition of Santa Anna and turn his attention from foreign war to the internal maladies which .iffliect his distracted country. Such a course wisdom and patriotism will both approve. The admin istration of M exicem affairs is corrupt, property and life are insecure, the roads are infested with robbers, and the great mass of the low'er classes are buried in igno rance and vice. To cure these evils is .a herculean la bor beyond the strength of one man ; but they can be : mitigated, if the despot will resolutely set about the ; work in go.l faith and persevere to the end. We fear he lias not the Roman courage required for the ! undertaking-—it requires more than will < nable him to lead an army to victory—but the civilized world wiil i 1 ail him as more than victor, if he shall have the virtue to attempt it. The Southern Eclectic. This work, as the name imports, is made up of se lections from other works of the choicest and most read - able articles. While we disapprove of this system of poaching upon the intellectual domains of other persons, we readily confess that such works, if conducted with tact, are by far more readable than original periodicals. They confino themselves to no particular manor, but range over the whole republic of letters and pick their game. Tfie Southern Eelectic is published monthly at Au gusta, Georgia, and is conducted by .T. 11. Fitten, a I gentleman, we learn, of extensive reading and cultivated I tastes, at $3 per annum. We believe it is the first I enterprise of the sort ever started in Georgia. The i table of contents of the April number, which now lies | on our table, is full, varied and interesting. Arrest ot Stains. We are informed that William Stains, wiio killed j Col.

I We have received the catalogue of the officers and j students of this Institution for 852—’5‘C j There were 182 students in attendance during the ! term.

If the | truant sons of the South now at the North, were : brought home and entered as students in the aoadem i ic groves of our own Institutions, her numbers would be j doubled, and anew impetus be given to education at j the South.

FOR THE TIMES AND SENTINEL. Mr. Editor. —As one of the signs of the times, allow me to say, that I attended a lecture on Temperance dei-v ered by the Rev. J. E. Evans, in the Court Uon*e at Thomaston,on Monday night the 27th u!t. He confined himself to an explanation of the action of the Atlanta Convention, and the reasons for such action. At the close oftiie lecture the chairman of the meeting put the ques tion to the crowd, for the court house was full of a!! classes of the Community, “All that ate in favor of leaving the question of the Liquor Traffic to the people, ;js desired !>v the convention, eay /ou that are opposed, NO. The I’s were very strong and full, but not a single No was heard. It was found afterwards, however, that there wert a few of them present, but tiny were completely paralyzed bv the overwhelming voice of the meeting—and I reneat, this w-as a promiscuous meeting, add not called for special purposes. Dr. Rogers then introduced several resolutions which were unanimously adopted. These resolutions approved of the notion of the conven tion, provided for organization in th* county, and in very strong terms deprecated any connection of the temperance movement with party polities, and pledging the meeting to the use of all proper means to prevent it. I am glad to see that the friends of the temperance cause have thus set themselves to piss the question ujion its own merits, and keep it out of politics. S. L. S. Headings from Punch.

Irish Trimming.— A .young lady who thinks more about her clothes than her country, says j it must be delightful to live in Ireland, because there is so much Kibbmrsm there; and she understands it is very Uillinsy Th New Bible House. One of the largest, if not the largest, building in New York is the new Bible House, occupy ing tiie square bounded by Third and Fourth-avs. and Eighth and Ninth sts., which is now being completed for the use of the American Bible i Society. Its construction has been rendered necessary because of the rapid extension ot the field of this Society’s operations. For some years past much inconvenience has been expe j rienced from the want of greater accomodations I for furnishing the increasing demand for its pub- I lications —notwithstanding the magnitude ot the establishment in Nassau st., which has, up to tis time, been occupied. In January, 1852, the Society secured the lot on which the new building has been erected. Its area is about i three-fourths of au acre, comprising between eleven and twelve city lots. The shape of the building is nearly a triangle, with unequal sides, it has a front of 198 feet 8 inches on Fourth-av 202 feet on Eigbtii-st., 96 feet 11 inches on ; Third-av., and 232 feet 6 inches on Ninth st, — making a total front of over 700 feet. The depth of the building is 50 feel. There is a large area in the centre. The bight of the building from the sidewalk is over seventv feet, and it is divided into six stories It is substantially built of brick, with brown stone trimmings, and when ready for oceupa* i tion will have cost between $250,000 and S3OO-, 000. The building is commanding in appear ance. Occupying a block by itself, it is safe from exposure to fires, and from damage to j books in the process of manufacture, by dust, ! smoke, or vapor from other buildings, as none | are adjoining. It also has every facility of light and air ; and from it is had a,most command ing view of the surrounding city and country, land and water. Proper attention has been | paid to the ventilation of the building. The Bible enterprise had its origin in London , The British and Foreign Bible Society was formed in 1804. It led s to the organization of Bible Societies in this country, the first one of which was instituted in Philadelphia in 1808; the second the Connecticut Bible Society, in May, 1809 ; and the third in Massachusetts, in June, 1809. Similar Societies sprung up, un til, in 181(3, they numbered 70. A central or ganization was deemed expedient, On the se ! corn! Wednesday of May, 1816, a Convention ! of sixty delegates, representing twenty-eight lo i c 1 Societies, met in the lecture-room of the | Dutch Reformed Church, in Garden-st., organ : izoti a Society,adopted a constitution and issued ! an address. The Bible House in Nassau-st., at present in use, was erected in 1822, fifty feet in front and one hundred in depth, and five stories high, at a cost of about $22,500, which was paid by the citizens of New York. The printing and i binding part of the establishment, after-wards added, six stories in bight, cost about the same i aTtromtfTrLmofT ey. ‘ily'thir nTcreasetn the valuer of property, this has more than doubled in value and has been sold to the Baptists for $lO5 000, to be occupied as offices for.their Bible and Mis i sionarv, Foreign and Domestic operations. The j Baptists have recently sold the northern part of | the property for $50,000, probably to he con- I verted into stores. The first President of the American Bible So i ciety was Hon. Elias Boudinot, of New-Jersey, who continued in that position from May, 1816, until his death, in October, 1821. 11 is succes sor, Hon. John Jay. of New-York, performed the duties of that office until in 1828, when he j resigned on account of his infirmities. ‘Pile J third President was Hon. Richard Varick, of New York, who continued his services until his death, in 1832. The next was Hon. John Cot ton Smith, of Connecticut, who continued in the | office until his death, in December, 1845. (y •’le : filth and present incumbent of the pres/p tg I Chair is Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen, ! Jersey. The receipts of the Society the first! year of its operations, 1816-’l7, were $37,779 I 35; audit issued6,4loßibles, but no Testa- i ments. Its income has continued to increase, i with some fluctuations, hut rapidly, until in the j the thirty.sixth year of its operations, 1851-’52, its receipts reached the sum of $308,744 81; and its distributions amounted to 221,450 Bibles, and 444,565 Testaments. Si nee its organiza- i tion, the Society has received about $4,500,090 and has put into circulation an aggregate of i about 9,000,000 Bibles and Testaments. The ! issue of the current year will reach 700,000. : Oi‘the above income it has made grants ainoun* | ting to 8500,000 to aid in the publication of I tiie Scriptures at various mis-ionai y stations in | foreign lands. It has supplied thousands of sea ; men with the Scriptures; and sent them by sea men to nearl y every part of the world. Crimin als in jails and penitentiaries have been supplied; ’ rooms in many of the hotels, and many of the Railroad Station-houses have been furnished. — i d'he inmates of various humane institutions i throughout the country have been supplied. j I Hie Bible has also been carried into hundreds I of thousands of families throughout the country. j < Depositories for the Bible brave been opened in j every part of the land. Auxiliary Societies to j ; the number of 1,400, with 2,400 minor branches ! extending from Maine to California and Oregon, i increase the facilities of the Society in collecting funds arm distributing its publications. Thirty traveling agents are constantly employed form ing new and reviving old auxiliaries, collecting funds, &c. At the present time the Scriptures, in whole or in part, are in print in over 200 lan guages. The American Bible Society has pub lished the Scriptures, or portions of them, in 24 tongues, and aided in issuing them in others.-- Among the languages in which the Soripturts are now being published by this Society are the j English, French, German, Danish, Swedish, ■ Spanish, Dutch, WeLb, and other European j languages ; two or three African dialects ; and j the tongues of the Choctaws, Cherokees and Ojibbewas among the Indians. This gene.nl idea ot the Society and the extent of i's opera tions will serve to show the urgent want of such an establishment as has been erected.
