I know of ro pss*ag in classical literature more
beautiful or affecting than that where Xenophon,
in h> Anabasis, describes t! e effect produced mi
the remnant of the ten thousand G eeks, when af
ter passing th ough danjprs without number, they
at length ascended a sacred mount;.ir, and, fnm ite
peak and summit caugh’ sight of the sea. Dashing
their bucklers, with a hymn of joy they rushed tu
multuously forward. Some wept with the fulness
of their delirious pleasure, others laughed, and more
fell on th* ir knees and b.esi-ed that broad ocean
Across its bluev.aters, little floating sea birds, the
memoiials of ttirir happy homes, came and fanned
weary souls. Ait the perils they had encoun
tered, all >he companions they had lost, all the mis
er! sthev h-d endured, were in an instant forgo ten,
and nought was with them but the gentle phantoms
of past and fu urejoy*. One was again scouring on
hi* fltet steed across the hoof-tr< dden plains of |
ThessMv : another reclined beneath the flower
ciowned rocks of Arcadia, and gazed into the drea
my eyes ot her whose form,: m'd battle and bivouac,
was ever with him ; a third recalled that proud day

Oh ! hi me, magical spell, all powerful I nrne ! how

Sunshine and Love. —lt is hard telling (says the
Knickerbocker) which of these luxuries does the
most good, Sunshine biings on summer, and
carries off melancholy, but love stocks us with
fresh eggs, young chickens, veal, sighs, and
ruffle bosomed shirts. It is to love that Nature
has intiusted the charge of future generations,
and the peopling of the great Valley of the Mis
sissippi. TJk about the power of machinery—all
the locomotives and steamboats in God’s world
could not add a single soul to Oregon in a cen
tury, if the Lord should stop the supply of “hil
ling and cooing’ - for a season. Without this
feitilizing passion, London would become as
deserted as'J hebes, for virtuous celibacy unpeo
ples a country faster than either war, pestilence,
or famine. While other passions concentrate
man in himself, love makes him live in another.
No one loves who does not prefer somebody to
himself. When we speak of love, we hope no
one will confound it with debauchery, for they
are the very antipodes of each other. One be
gets fruit, and the other does not. Love springs
from the heart, debauchery from our ungodliness.
One is the offspring of “virtue and good health,’’
and the other of vice, acd a depraved appetite
for novelty and ctime.
Love makes people moral—debauchery makes
them vile. One stock* the world, and the other
State prisons. The former w eakens pride, and
softens ferocity—the latter is made up of ego
tism and brutality. Love spreads sunshine and
happiness through the world; debauchery—
dai kness. disease, and lock hospitals. The lover
becomes a parent, a husband, a citizen. In
short, true love converts the base and the selfish
into the generous and the good, while its coun
terfeit converts even manliness and honor into
baseness and corruption. For all of which, we
again say, three cheers for the inventor of cour
ting ! YVhoever he may he, he has done more
towards spreading morality through the world
than ail the preachers that ever were born.
Monstrous. —The most flagrant and brutal out
rage of which we ever heard was committed on
Sunday afternoon, at the eastern portion of

for they are too awful for expression—but the
simple facts are that an estimable woman was
just recovering from a severe illness, who was
visited, while her friends were absent at church,
by a stranger villain, who, notwithstanding her
entreaties and prayers, basely dishonored her,
and then made his escape. The fiend has been
taken—and we hope no punishment which the
law provides will be omitted.— Buffalo Express.

Objections to Charles J. Jenkins.
We entertain a very high regard for the personal 1
character of Charles J. Jenkins. No doubt he is s
good citizen and an honorable man. Quere: Did any
of our readers ever peruse a similar admission in any of
the Conservative presses as to the character of Herschcl
V. Johnson? We presume not : y*t he is as pure a
man.jand as devoted a patriot, as perhaps lives in the
State of Georgia.
But though we are happy to make these concessions
to the candidate of the Conservative party, and we be
lieve it is the practice of the en ire Democratic press
universally to concede to him every private virtue, we
are none the less opposed to his election to the office of
Governor of Georgia. Politically, Mr. Jenkins is one
of the unsoundcst men in the State. Ist, It is notori
ous that he approved the law which partially disfran
chised a portion of his townsmen because they were
poor men. 2d, It is charged that he admits the power
of Congress to abolish slavery in the District of Colum
bia. 3d, He is conceded to be a politician of the Fede
ral school of Daniel Wtbster, which holds the State
Governments to be inferior to the Federal Government,
and denies to them the right of resisting its encroach
ments upon the reserved rightß of the States. 4th,
Because he aided in the attempt to give the power and
patronage of the Federal Government to that arch
Federalist and Freesoiler, Daniel Webster, whose boast
it was, up to the time of his death, that ha had never
voted to add oue inch of territory to the United States
in which slavery was allowed, and never would do so;
who held himself in readiness to apply the Wilrnot
Proviso even to Utah and New Mexico, whenever there
arose the slightest probability that slavery would be in
troduced into their limits ; who introduced a Fugitive
slave bill into the Senate, in which trial by Jury was
awarded to the Fugitive in the State where he was
enptund. sth, Because in July 1852, after the Nor
thern “Whig party had shown itself so utterly unsound
upon the slavery question as to forfeit the confidence
of almost ail the Southern leaders, he cherished a ‘stron
ger and eiro than ever before to adhere to the National
Whig Party.” 6th, Because at the time aforesaid, he
declared that “upon the closest self examination he did
not perceive that he was at all DetnocraticisedP 7th,
Because he allovvs himself, notwithstanding hi strong
desire to adhere to the Whig party, to bo ced Q3 a
100 l by Messrs. Toombs and others to organise a party
utterly antagonistic to the Whig Party, and thereby
shows *h;it he either has no fixed political princip'es or
in willing to play the game that wins, no matter how
much his constituents may be deceived.
The Knilroad to fclufanla*
We find in the last Spirit of the South , a very inte
resting article on this subject. It is in response to an
appeal from Montgomery to connect that city i:h Eu
i'aula by Rail, via Union Springs. After showing tin
impracticability of building a Road in that direction with
the resources at their command, the editor very forcibly
contends for the expediency and practicability of a con
nection with Colbert, on the Girard Road ; and gives
the following flattering account of the condition of the
enterprise :
“We need a connection with the Girard and Mobile
Road, and must have it. in one way or the other. The
nearest point that Road approaches us, is at Colbert, ab.ut
30 milts distant. A road from Eufaula to that place,
would pass through or near Glemiville, and cost about
$350,000. This is the line our people have heretofore
generally looked to, ; nd a large amount of stock has al
ready iicen subscribed. This route is considerably nearer
and cheaper than the one by Union Springs ; and it can
only be built by obtaining some $55,000 more stock in the
county, in addition to $75,000 expected from Glennville,
and $50,000 from Columbus. The subscription book in
the hands of our committee appointed to raise the stock,
contains, we are advised, near $120,000. Let enquire,
now, what has } et to be done in order tven to secure this
Road, and we will see that it is no child’s play to build it.
“Csuppose we already have as before stated,sl2o,ooo, —
We expect Glennville to raise $75,000. tier citizens
held a meeting there on last Saturday—they were ad
dressed by Col. Eli S. Shorter and Dr. Dawson, a direc
ti rof the Girard R-ad. A committee was appo nted,
composed of influential men residing in that section, to
open Looks tor subscriptions to the stock. The terms
agreed on for their subscription, are somewhat similar to
ours—only they stipulate that the road shall p ies through
<>r near Glennville. The people there were fully aroused
; to the importance of the subject, and they arc going to
I work in earnest this week. They will most proba-
Ilyra sc the full amount expected from thtin The first
gtnileman there who subset*.Led to the stock, put his
name down for $7,000. and the next $5,000. Their
books will be regularly opened this week. Suppose they
raise the $75,000, that added to what we now have, will
make $195,000. Then we want $55,000 m*>re from this
County, and how are we to get it ? The committee think
they can obtain $25,000 of it by individual subscriptions,
and the* other $30,000 must be provided for in some way
by Eufaula—perhaps by raising the town subscription to
$50,000. That would make $250,000. The friends of
th s Road say they can get $50,000 subscribed by the city
of Columbus. If so, we would have, if not disappointed
in our other calculations, $300,000 in cash subscriptions
Whenever that amount is subscribed the Road by Glt-nii
viiie can be built, for the balance will be taken by the
Contractors on she Road. Dr. Dawson is however of
opinion that the Road will cost $350,000 —but says that a
cash subscription of $300,000 will secure it.”

! Minister to Constantinople—Launch of a Steamer—
j Fish Mortality Emigrants.
Baltimore, August 24, 1853.
The announcement of the appointment of Carroll
Spence aa Minister to Constantinople gave great satis
faction here this morning among the Democracy, not
perhaps so much on account of any special friendship
towards Mr. Sp nee, but because by his appointment
the Hon. Robert M. MeLane was possibly disappointed.
The steamship Tennessee was launched to day from
the yard of Mr. Robb, and is a fine specimen of ma
rine architecture. She is to run between Baltimore and
Charleston, in conjunction with the steamer Palmetto,
which, built one year ago as an experiment, has been
unable to carry one-half the freight offering for it.
The fish in our harbor were yesterday again stricken
dead from some unknown cause, making it necessary
to remove them forthwith in order i<# preserve the
health of the city. There were millions of them float
ing about the harbor.
Upwards of five hundred German emigrants arrived
here yesterday, and some of them have already started
for their western homes.
Washington Rumors.

It is rumored that Gen. Gadsden, our Minister to
Mexico, is instructed not to otTer money for the relin
quishment oi’ Mexico’s claim to the Mcsilla Valley, but
is authorized to offer a considerable sum i’or a large
slice of Sonora.
Carroll Spence, of Baltimore, was to-day appointed
Minister resident at Constantinople, lie is a gentle
man of talents and honor. It is an admirable selection
and creditable to the Administration.
Marion Superior Court. —The Superior Court for
this county convened in this place on Monday las r , pre
sent his Honor Alfred Iverson, presiding, Col. Jack
Brown, Solicitor General, and a number of the mem
bers of the bar,among whom are several men of dis
tinction. The business of the Court has progressed
with as much exptdi.iou as the ends of justice would
admit, and ihe dignity, ability and impartiality with
which Judge Iverson presides has won the admiration
of ail having business in Court. As this is the last
time he will visit our place in the capacity of Judge,
his term of office expiring before the next term of the
Court, we wish him prosperity and happiness in the
private life which be seeks, trusting that the robes he
voluntarily casts aside may fall upon shoulders as wor
thy to wear them. — Vademecum.
Crops in Europe —The late accounts from Europe
are of a character to awaken much interest. The cir
cular of Jos. Sturge & Cos . states that crops are worse
than in any year since ISI6. That potatoes vv.il be
shorter than since 1 846 ; that the wants of England
will equal 15,000,000 qrs. of grain, a quantity larger
than ever before, France will also want a large quan
tity, although the government has foolishly made ar
rangements to have flour quoted leas in August in or
der to allay fears. The effect that the large import of
grain into England may have upon exchanges excites
fears. But England has exported 8,000,000 lbs. more
of her products the six months of 1853, than last year
in the same period, and these are to be paid for from
all quarters, and continental exports are depended upon
to sustain the exchanges under the corn imports.
Charleston. —Tin* Courier sa\s, we are gratified to
learn that the Fall business >f this city is likely to be
vt ry large. Considerable quantities o : goods are daily
arriving, and buyers from Alabama and Tennessee have
already, we understand, made their appearance in the
market. The city, to use the phrase of one of out
leading medieal practitioners, being “alarmingly healthy,”
no one need fear coming at once, and such an impetus
we trust will he given to the trade of our city by an
early attendance of our country friends as to place
Charleston at the highest pinnacle of commercial pros
perity she has ever attained.

immediate transmission to the Rio Grande frontier, ot
a very large qasntity of artillery, ammunition and ord- ;
nance stores—more in amount than Gen. Taylor had
during his whole campaign. This step, says the Times , !
has undoubtedly been taken in oonsequence of the
movements of Santa Anna, who is concentrating on

plying it very largely with the munitions of war.

Democratic Meeting in Oglethorpe.
Oglethorpe. Aug. 26,1353.
Gentlemen : We had a glorious rally of the Democracy
hereon yesterday, and notwithstanding the many numerous
and generous predictions ofltis political adversaries to the
contrary, Maj. Colquitt was present, and by his able and
luc.d exposition of the doctrines and positions of the
party not only showed himself a foeman worthy of
the steel of his competitors, but revived the spirits
of his f.lends and proved to them that it was altogether
practicable, notwithstanding the boasts of the Conserva
tives, with proper exertions on our part to carry the district.
He was well received and left an impression that will tell,
and teii favorably in October next. He was aided in the dis
cussion by Mr Howard, of Crawford, who, in addition to
the many home truths ha toid, made the fur fly from the
Republican Citizen party in general and the division under
the command of General Toombs in particular. Major
Colquitt, accompanied by Mr. Howard, leaves here to-day
for Hawkinsvilie, at which place they will address the peo
ple of Pulaski on Saturday next. lam sorry that my lim
ited time will not allow me a more detailed account of the
actings ana doings on yesterday; at another time when I
have more leisure I may do so. It is enough at present to
say, that although our candidate is guilty of the unpardona
i 1j sin and presumption of being a young man, hedoes not
fear to meet his adversary on any field of discussion, where
the questions growing out of the affairs of the country are
.n issue, and when the meeting does take place his friends
ntertain no fears for the result—-it will be creditable to him
and will vindicate the choice of those who nave placed
him in the front of the battle. LANIER.
P. S. Owing to the severe hoarseness under which
Judge Colquitt was laboring, brought on by the exertions
of the previous day, he was unable to make a speech. He
nevertheless pave the people a little talk, in which he indi
cated too true line of policy. The Judge has no new lau
rels to reap as a stump orator, and the loss fell on those
who expected a rich repast. L.
Further Irom the Canvass.
Hawkinsvuj.e, Aug. 29,1553.
Messrs. Editors: 1 had the pleasure yesterday of attend
ing a meeting of the Democracy of Pulaski county, which
was addressed by Major Colquitt and Messrs. Chappell and
DeGraffenried. You have good reason to be proud of your
standard bearer in this district. The gravest charge pre
i ferred against hint Heretofore, is, that he is too young ; but
I at-ver have I known a man grow old in the opinion of his
enemies so fast as Colquitt has done since he took the field.
The danger now is that the Whigs will attempt to prove
him an old Fogy before the first Monday in October next.
His effort yesterday was most creditable in every particular.
He evinces the most perfect mastery over the questions in
volved in the contest, and his exposure of the imposture of
Chang and Eng in their professions of Democracy, and in
their pretendea distrust of General Pierce on the slavery
question, was admirable. We hear that you have been told
that this county is claimed by Johnson by 200 majority.
Even to this sort of exaggeration decency requires some
metes and bounds, i heard no man in Hawkinsville cr out
of it say that the county coaid possib.v he carried for John
son by more than 50 vote?; while very many were, confi
dent that Pulaski would go for Colquitt by 50 or 75 ma
jority. The of Messrs. Chappell and DeGraffen
ried were powerful efforts and were in the happiest and best
spirit possible. They took high and catholic ground for
the enure re-union of the Democracy of Georgia. They
iave the hirtory of Mr. Jenkins’ agency in dissolving the
Onion paity, and in the happiest manner exposed h^ia
consistency in now fawning around Union Democrats for
tiieir support.
We cannot express our thanks or appreciation of the
handsome style in which these gentlemen are bearing them
selves in the canvass. In conclusion I have this? to say. unfl
I would say it emphatically, let ytur county, old Musco
gee, do her duty and this fight is ours.
