(Times emit Sentinel. ! COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. ; FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 3, 1853. Tb World’s Fair in New York. From present indications the World's Fair in New Fork will result in a grand failure. There appears to have bec-n from the beginning, that want of energy and system so essential to the success of so mammoth an undertaking. Thousands from all parts of the country have been making their arrangements in anti cipation of a visit to the great metropolis—the great object of attraction being the Crystal Palace, There is no doubt but that the exhibition will be opened some- j time during the summer— hardly until the first-of Ali ce**. however—ami while asanational affair professing to redtei, as it was designed, the enterprise and skiil of the nation, it will fail of its object in many, very many res pects ; still there will be much both new and inter esting. To the provincial there will be novelty and wonders inexhaustible—and to both provincial and met ropolitan, much to see and reflect upon. borne have already takeu their departure, and ere a month has elapsed thousands of strangers will have cou* ! gregated in New York. As much leisure will thus be , afforded them, the thought suggests itself that this spare time may be profitably employed by making excursions I to various parts oi New England aud the Middle States. e have always objected to the fruitless migrations an nually made during the summer months to places of j fashionable resort and dissipation in the Northern States ; with no other object than to kill time and a consequent waste of money. If our pleasure-seekers would find some attractions beyond the theatres, and galleries, and museums of New York—if they would but visit the beautiful and thriving towns and cities of centre New York and New England, would ramble around the country and amidst the grandeur of the White and Green moun- j tains and along the beautiful lakes that diversify the : whole northern and north-eastern section of the Union, ; aud would think while they look, inquire and investi- j gate, talk with those they meet and be willing to learu— ior there is much in the enterprise and progressiveucss of the northern States that challenges our emulation as 1 well ns admiration—if southern ‘travelers would do this, ! tbo practical good resulting would be incalculable. Gut ! many, after they reach New York—which is the great j point ol rendezvous there—fix themselves for tho season ! hardly relieved by a day’s jaunt to a watering place. A stranger thus situated eamiot, from the very nature , *>f the case see anything of northern society. Fatigued i with the din of city life and crowded thorough fares,stow- I and away perhaps in theCth story of an overcrowded ho tolstfc imposed upon by par pies who feed upon the strati- ; ger's verdancy and love of novelty, nothing else could | possibly result, but that lie becomes, ere long, surfeited with what he considers the ‘‘attractions of the north,” I and, disgusted with everything in and about city life; re- i turns home to inveigh against the avarice of the north the meanness and parsimony and imposition of the > section, when they have seen nothing beyond what a mere j street gazer might—having kept company with theat- 1 rieal goers, hotel loungers and sight seers. If a love’ for real pleasure had prompted them governed by an in telligent curiosity to know as wel( as see; they might have brought back a store of experience which, if pro- i parly used would go far towards enabling us to rival ! more advanced and densely populated States, and j which would place u* ere long, even by comparison, upon an eminence. Wc have listened to many extatic descriptions of j travelers after their summer sojourn north upon the greatness of northern cities, their vast business and eom moruial operations—their paktial residences —their de -1 ightfa! places of resort and a thousand minor matters, 1 Irom a ballet corps t< the learned Russian Gear, and the •’Happy Family, 1 winding up with a peroration red hot with invectives against the want of principle, and filching propensities of northern people, with an assev- j < vat-ion never again ;<> cross Mason and Dixon’s line— | Now we hope, for ti e good of the south, that such j never will show their noses north of the Potomac. Those j who associate with mountebauKs, spend money with bar-tenders and hackmeu, at theatres and monkey ■hows, may be sure of being fleeced—and deserve J to be. \\ e have enough charges, well founded too, against the north, without provoking our irritability by endeavoring to saddle upon her people the fruits of our ! own folly. There is another class of our people who prefer a different round of enjoyment. After a week’s delay in ihe great metropolis, iu order to brush up and don the prevailing mode, they take a peep at the novelties, and dash off into the country or to a watering place, where they remain probably a week, aud back again to the city—a round of amusemeuts ensues, until, wearied and nervous, off they go again to recuperate—sweeping along the green meadows, inhaling the fresh mountain air or enjoying the sea bath and breezes, lauding with commendable appreciation the neatness, cleanliness, and system and beauty of all they see. Thus the season is passed—the return is finally resolved upon, and with a trunk full of notions they are *n route for home. We will venture to assert that lbur-tifths of our peo ple who visit the north, tor other than business purposes, may be ranked among one or the other of the classes we have indicated. Neither bring back any thing use- ■ ful. The one abuse the north because they had not brains sufficient to get beyond the clutch of mountebanks —the other wish but to skim along, enjoying tbe pres ent hour and giving themselves no trouble or thought I eeyood tbe payment of bills and an occasional grumbling at high prices. They return to talk through the events of last snimiu r's pleasures, and live iu anticipa ,!°n °f toe coming season to be spent in like manner. No thought is taken of home—no plans brought back for improving and beautifying their own homesteads and towns. Home is altogether ignored. Nothing is joy ous or pleasant but iu the distance. The mild winter passes With but little inconvenience—spring comes and bursts forth with its showers and green verdure and fragrant woodlands—summer steals on apace and we apostrophise our beautiful land in the words of the author of “The Seasons.” ‘‘Rich is thy soil aud merciful thy clime, J Uy streams unfailing in the summer's drought ” But no more romance is at an end. Our “unfail <ng streams - refresh only their natural banks, our town* are desolated, no provision made against the solstitial beat. Tlieir dt-uiuns betake themselves away, and hundreds ot mile* distaut sit beneath grateful shades, eooltd by bubbling fountains, which have their sources perltaj)# scores c>l miles away, and while beguiled by ►uch pleasure f<*rgu their owu “guardian oaks” or *. eon* pandng and parched for a eociiug shower from the inning river or purling brook which laves the banks perhaps almost at then - very feet. The rich aud green shr.it. cry i- scotched, the flowers are wilted and dying ’he once graved walks are grown up in weeds, all in J * * deimh * nd Tho streets are dry, and dmtr. nd deserted: booses are closed, everything is still, and languid and dull. And why? Because it is sum mer;, and tinder ‘‘no circumstance* could we think of re maining in such discomfort and deprivation.” But we hie to a place built perhaps upon a barren level—such \ a place we have in our mind’s eye while we write— treeless and forbidding, but which, by dint of care and attention, and the exercise of a cultivated taste, has be- \ come a popular resort, and supported by those who sacri fice their home oomforts, and who, because nature haa : done so much for them, seom determined to do nothing ! for themselves. We do nr't object to traveling—on the other hand, we would encourage it—nothing so liberalizes the mind I and improves the heart; but what we do object to, is this customary annual migration from one latitude to ; another, like the flocks of birds that alternate with th* ; j seasons, and, too much like them, regardless of what ! is left behind. If our people would, when away from home, gather up information with a view to its application at home | in a beneficial, practical way—if they would but make mere pastime a secondary consideration, and gather knowledge as they ride, the South would but little | longer suffor the taunts of the North by being pointed to half built towns, neglected public improvement*, aud | a want of system, and order, and neatness, and in at i tributing all this, as they do, to the “ blighting influ- j , ences of slavery,” We hope the occasion of the World’s Fair, in bring : together so many from all sections into the very heart of our most finished and cultivated metropolis, will teach many lessons of practical import, which the i recipients will not return to sleep, and dream, and talk j over, aud extol, and long to revisit those beautiful spots where lordly trees have been trained and fountain* opened, and the appliances of art have been prodigally expended, while around them their gaxe is everywhere met by neglected streets, dilapidated feneee and gar dens and stagnant goose ponds. By all means go to the World’s Fair; think, as well as sec, and let us I profit by what may there be learnt. We are Southern Rights to the core, and are jealous of the interests and I reputation of every southern man, woman and child, j The south has reached an era which calls for the activ ity and labor of every one of her sons. Let us learn, i even from our enemies. This is no tints for slothful dreams—we must labor constantly and efficiently if we would attain excellence. Let ue, as the quaint Car lyle urges, “ produce! produce! if it be but the piti fullest iufiniteenimal part of a fraction, iu God’s name produce it.” ! A Rare Opportunity. Wo notice that one third of the interest in the Mo bile Daily Evening News is offered for sale. Avery profitable job office is connected with the publishing. The interest is offered in either or both. The energy and enterprise now aroused in Mobile offers this as a flattering inducement to a man of thorough-going business habits. Another Fire. About 9 o’clock on Wednesday night a fire broke out in the upper part of the city, consuming the dwell ing of Col. Ragan. The furniture was mostly saved, but as in most cases recently, much damaged by tbe heedless precipitancy in removing it. No insurance. The Fishery Dispute. A war steamer has been ordered by the British Government to the Gulf of St. Lawrence to protect the fisheries. She is to be followed by another steamer and several sailing vessels. The U. S. steamer \ ixeu has been ordered from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, sup posed for tho fishing grounds. Does anybody see a speck of war ? 0$”” lion. Wm. C. Rives, our late Minister at the Court of France, and Commodore Aulick, were pas sengers in the Arctic. Wonder what has become of Mr. Commissioner Marshall, whom it is reported the Commodore turned a-foot somewhere in China, to hunt up, the best way he eau, his Celestial Majesty, the “ brother of the moon !” [From tho Savannah Republican.] The Cake which was presented to the Ladies of Sa vannah by those of Columbus, was, on Monday after noon, at six o’clock, cut and distributed to a large ami most respectable assemblage of ladies, its exceeding ex cellence eliciting from all who partook of it, enthusias tic admiration. Tin exterior of the cake was chaste and beautiful, elaborately ornamented with elegant and ap propriate designs iu silver and white, and its composi tion, internally, the most light, delicate and delicious that had ever been seen or tasted by any who shared it. Many encomiums were passed upon the donors, and the individual lady to whome fame attributed its make. The cake to be presented by tho ladies of Sa vannah to their sisters of Columbus, will be exhibited to ali who may wish to see it, at 12 o’clock, on Fii day morning next, at the Armory Hall, where and when R. H. Griffin, Esq., at tbe solicitation of the Committee, will deliver an address of presentation to the delegation of Columbus, gentlemen selected to re ceive and transport it to its destination. The Committee of La die*. Professor Wilson, of Blackwood’s Magazine, is past hope of recovery from a paralytic at tack. Colonel Colt is rapidly becoming a millionaire from the immense sale of his revolvers. The infant son of Queen Victoria is to receive the name of Leopold George Duncan Albert. Scotch Morals. —ln the Britisii House of Com mons on tiie *2‘2d inst., the bill for regulating li censes for public houses in Scotland occasion ed a discussion, with awful statements- That country was emphatically called a “drunken** one, its statistics of potation and intoxication being matchless. The Lord Advocate proclaim ed that the evil against which the bill directed i was “the National sin ol Scotland, a sin which overshadowed ail other social evils of the conn trv/’ Mr. Hume said that lie would readily vote for the introduction of the Maine Liquor Law—which excited “great laughter.’’ Mr. i Henry Drummond affirmed that every Satur day night thirty thousand men got drunk in ! Glasgow, and lay in a perfect state of insensi bility until Monday morning. We might add ! a large or small proportion of the fair sex. It is said that a Scotch preacher designated alcohol as Satan’s blood. An Interesting Character. — An Indian was j ordained to the work of the ministry by the Bap -1 tist Home Missionary Society, in Troy, New York, last week, who, to attend the convention, tea Iked, six hundred miles in snoic shoes, accom • pauied by hi * wife and child. [From the New York Heral.j Our Washington Correspondence. Washington, May 24, 1553. The Foreign Appointments of Gen .Pierce—\ ery Interesting and Curious. The catalogue of foreign appointments published in the Washington papers this morning, puts an j end to the lute very general anxiety and suspense j on the subject, aud such a sweep has been made at j plenipotentiaries, charges, and consuls, that it is only ; here f-.nd there that a comfortable berth i* left to j meet future Comitigefteies. . ; Os the first class ministers appointed, the Hernia has heretofore spoken out very freely, and in a tone of liberality which must- have proved highly satis factory to Messts. Buchanan, Soule, Seymour, Gads- ! den, Borland, and John Randolph Clay, a* well as j to the President and his Cabinet. Os the rest, a. word or two here may not be out of place* Mr. Peter D. Vroom, of New Jersey, for Prussia, j G a sort of compromise appointment. There were ; several other Jersey-men who wefe applicants ,lor j some public service abroad ; and to avoid disappoint j in<r any of them, as far as possible, they were all j set aside, and Mr. Vroom, who was no applicant at j all, comparatively, was put in as “the sop for the) JarsiesT This sort of compromising D very fre- j quently adopted in dispensing the spoils. The j most prominent examples on record are the nomi- j nation of Cos). Polk and Gen. Pierce for the Presi- j denev* The whole secret of their success was that j they* did not stand in the way of anybody. And so i it has been with Mr. Peter D. Vroom. We under stand here that Mr. Vroom can speak high Dutch j pretty well, and will, therefore, be quite at home at Berlin. William Trousdale, of Tennessee, for Brazil, is also a party compromise soiection. He is not a brilliant man. but a very fast man ; not a very dis tinguished man, but has acquired some reputation as a middling, eleverish sort of a democrat, among “the sovereigns.” .Some persons supposed, howev er, that Major Polk, brother of James K. Polk, or Genera! Gideon J. Pillow, would get the European ministerial plum accruing to Tennessee. Mr. Trousdale will be a safe man, if not a fast mau, though ho is hardly equal to Professor Maury in hi-* understanding of the commercial facilities of the mighty Amazon. Mr. Theodore 8. Fay, for Switzerland, is a nice selection. He, it wiii be recollected, was many years ago associated with General Morris and Na thaniel P. Willis, iu the editorial management of the New York Mirror. Since that time, however, Mr. Fay has extended his thoughts and knowledge of things beyond the color of a lady’s eye, the out of the most stylish dresses of a courtiy bail room, arid the fit of anew boot. Ilehas become a very re spectable diplomat —understands the languages, the politics and the politicians of the Continent, and is widely respected as an intelligent and favorable specimen of the American diplomatic corps over the water. Meantime, General Morris continues on “The even tenor of his way,” as tiie poet laureate of ihe New York military, lit erary, and fashionable peace establishment, while Nathaniel P. Willis ha* had his delicate nerves en tirely destroyed by the rough handling, without kid gloves, of the merciless barbarians of these latter days. Such have been the fortunes of the original literary firm of Morris, Willis and Fay. What a world this is, to be suit*! Os Ihe class of Charges des Affaires, Mr. Augus te Belmont for the Netherlands is a remarkable ap pointment, But it is said here that his influence among the moneyed men of Amsterdam and the Continent will redound to tho advantage of Wall street, and of oil the States and corporations in this country (excepting Mississippi) that may desire f< borrow money of the rich .Tews of Europe, to build railroads, canals, &e. It is also said that he will be useful in the Netherlands in aiding republican refu gees to get to this land of liberty and equal rights, thank God ! It is further said that the influence of the Perry and the Slidell families was an item in favor of Mr. Belm s;t. Old Virginia comes iu fur a liberal snare of “the goodies.” There is Mr. Richard. K. Meade for Sardinia, to begin with. He was, we believe, a whig Elector iu 1650, on the ticket for “Tippecanoe and Tyler too.” But he is none the worse for that. He is n. gen tleman aud a scholar. Then there is Mr. Henry Bedinger, for Denmark. He was a member of Congress from Virginia during ihe tremendous warlike debates on 54-40, and made a conserva tive speech, in which he gave a glowing descrip tion of a certain big eagle which he taw one day at Harper’s Ferry, “High up above the storm.” But whether it was that eagle, o r something else, that caused it. Mr. Bedinger whs not re-nomina ted by that district. So he went off and set up the practice of the law in New York city. In 1851, however, he returned to the valley of Vir ginia, and run as the democratic candidate in ids old district, against Faulkner, independent whig, and was beaten badly, because he was tinged too deeply with secessionist!). Faulkner having suc ceeded in getting the democratic nomination, ibere was nothing left tor Mr. Bedinger than a cull by the administration. Lucky man at last! He goes to Copenhagen. Then there is Captain Scott, who brought down, last spring, thirteen Presidenti al candidates at asingie fire—he goes Consul to Rio. A good hit. But the most important post of them is that ot Mr. Shelton F. Leake, as Commissioner to the {Sandwich islands. Mr. Leake has been a clever member m Congress, and, though a strict constructionist, wo presume he wiii co-operate with Secretary* Marcy most heartily in securing the annexation of the Sandwiches, Ring Kanrie harneha, and all. Four good foreign places for the Old Dominion. This much for having start ed the. ball for Franklin Pierce at Baltimore. Who can sov now that the General does not re member hi** friend* ! Charles Woodbury, for Bolivia, is good ; .lack son, (Union man, and relative of Gov. Cobb.) o{ Georgia, is good; Bisseli. ut Illinois, for Buenos Avres, is excellent —that is ;* mi I i'ary country, al ways iu hot water, anil Bisseli was a colonel—a gallant, fighting colonel—in the Mexican war. He is not a large man, but he is keen, and pluck to the | backbone. A military man for Buenos Ayres is the very thing that was wanted. But ive must not f orget our old editorial friend, Saui Medary, of the Ohio Statesman* for Chili. The whole editorial corps mus: endorse torn, and there is u branch of the Ohio oemceracy that ui.l be glad to get him off to South America, because lie would whip them into t e liace*. But the most remarkable, and the m<>-t funny : of ail the foreign schedule, is Robert Dale Owen. , for Naples. He i- the son of Robert Owen, the socialist, and, in Lis* younger days at least, was a disciple or the old gentleman, ami a rollahora ttur with Fanny Wright. He published, at one | time, in his own proper name, a very extraordina ry and ami-scriptural hook on “Natural Physiolo gy;’’ and everybody knows that ihe anti-Malthu eiuu due rhies of that sc eu ific work are utterir unfit for the climate of Naples, including Major Poik, (who was ;ne Cti rge there once before.) Mr. G*en was appointed, but Mr. Oxen is a man of unusual iearuing and abilities. Hu is an archit ct —ride the Smithsonian Institution and ihe big work on that subject. He i-a peel—his melo-drama <*f “Pocahontas.” and hs fugitive poem*, of which the following is a verajele: ’“To home where’er Uw heart is, Where’er it*e living treasure* dwell. In palace or in ptisoD wails, hi cottage or iu hermit's cell. He is a politician of great experience and üb.l ties, and has lately redeemed himselt itom the unpopu larity of his matrimonial guide, eng rafting upon i.i*’ new constitution of Indiana a provision securing to women certain salutary independent rights, in the holding of property, &o. In a word, Mr. < )w- • en is one of the best educated and most tainted “f , Gen. Pierce’s diplomatic corps, though by no means ; the handsomest man aicons them. “Hand-onie is ns handsome does;' 4 and wchave 4 greatfaith in Ro bert Dale’s capacity to tiilfil all the duties, direct, or contingent, which may fall upon the Charge to Naples. The list of consuls affords a fine field for a oep-; arate leittr. Theappointmeut of Ed winDo LoGn.one oi the edi- ’ tors of l he late Southern Press —the central organ < f ihe secessionists—as Consul to Alexandria, in : Egypt, shows that in coming in with the Baltimore nominal on he was in good time. Elwood Fisher, his associate* did not come in, and can’t expect anything; and what he is doing here jut now, no* body can tell. Perhaps he is just looking on and enjoying tlie sport. He is not the only GRiaket that likes a little fun. Upon the whole, we doubt whether in any list that could be drawn up of the same number oi men a9 the schedule of foreign appointments pub lished in this morning’s papers, con'd be put to gether, such an extraordinary variety ot politicians, philosophers* poets, aud romancers, as arc here strung upon thfcsame string Yei they are mostly able men ; and the various interests necessary to be j consulted in these appointments, would not admit of the t igid, hide bound discipline of the hard-shells.

[ From tho Mobile Tribune.] John C. Calhoun. We were walking from Clark’s hotel in Colutn i bia to the legislative hall, in December, 1834, j when we were suddenly grasped by the arm, and as suddenly wheeled to the “right about.’’ — Kerr Boyce, of Charleston, still holding us firm ly, said, “Let me introduce you to Mr. Calhoun* ’ We feel even now the thrill that tingled through j our young blood Calhoun ! We were utterly con- I founded, and remained, as if rooted to the spot, jin speechless amazement, when Mr. Calhoun ! advanced and offered his hand in the most cor- I dial manner. He had evidently been convers • ing with Mr. Boyce in his usual dashing style ] ami his face was clothed in smiles. We looked l at him, and then it was we saw. that eye, the | blackest, the most brilliant, and the most intel -1 lectual that we ever saw in mortal head. YVe ! have seen all the distinguished men of the lini | ted States—except General Jackson —but their | eves were nothing when at rest. But Calhoun’s j eyes never were at rest ; they glanced like | lightning, not dazzling you, but literally flash | ing with the fire of genius,—-in a word, lie is the i only man that we have ever encountered who i bore the indelible mark of genius. The ino ! ment you looked into his eyes and caught their | expression you saw the God—tho spirit that i rules the world—and you never dreamed of I doubting his superiority to yourself and to all | the men of the age. If all the splendid eyes of all ; the beautiful women of America were gathered j together in one bright, blazing, beaming focus, 1 they would pale before the Greek fire of this ! transcendent genius. Its glance was magical— | that of Alexander the Great could not have been | more so—and black as the raven’s wing ; there I was a glory in its beams that played like light ning on the edge of a storm, j His manners were irresistible ; cordial, kind, ] warm with the spirit of enthusiasm that anima- I ted his soul, you felt his power as if a spark of I electricity had touched your heart. *T am very glad to meet with you/’ said Calhoun, ob ; serving our excessive embarrassment, and evi | dentlv with a feeling of pride as he noticed the ; reverential respect of his youthful admirer.— | “l have to tiiank you/’ he replied, “for your • kind notice, and for your correspondence.’’— • “Let us keep it up/’said Calhoun, his bright I eve glancing—“let us keep it up ; it is never too | late to do something in a good cause.” He then j dashed off in bis rapid style, his hand and eve ! assisting by their motion the current of his ex* i traordinary conversation. We call it con versa i lion for want of a better term ; but it was a brilliant speech, iu which political axioms were i thrown off in sentences, and with such rapidity and such irrepressible vivacity that it required ; ali our attention to follow him iu his lightning flight. What a talker ! We shall give frequent i instances of his conversational ability m the* course of these pictures, and therefore merely | state at present that he touched, as he flashed along, on motives, characters, and conduct of parties and partisans ; the nature and form of | governments ; their domestic concerns and j foreign relations ; their tendency to destroy liberty, and the method of repressing grievances. ! These were the themes which interested him I most. He seemed to seize the truth by intuition; ; there was apparently no mental struggle, but idea followed idea as if the machinery of his ; mind delighted in perpetual motion. We see I him now in our mind’s eye as be stood on that memorable occasion—-his features earnest and intent; his voice full and sonorous ; his enuncia tion rapid ; his tongue taking tiie thought as it came from his brain, and giving it shape ; and his hands, winch seemed to hold the argument that he was combating, assisting by their enet* gelie action to impress those ideas and thoughts on your memory forever. His personal appear ance, too, was entirely different from any ol the thousand descriptions which have been given of him bv the insidious scribblers and invidious i valets who have scattered their falsehoods from : Maine to Mexico. Iu person, he was six feet high ; his figure spare ; his face rather pale, without beard ; and as he wore at that time a white neckcloth without a collar, you were in* . duced to believe him older than he really was. ; But his spirited style of conversation exhibited anything else but premature age, and his hands, which were very white, added not a little to his fine personal appearance—indeed his hands, i were beautiful associates for his glorious eves.
