Homo. 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 w hen, before the s'reaming eyes of his overjoyed paten's, nml amid iheacclamat on of all Greece, he bore off tr m amid c mpeti ors the laurel-wreath of th. 0 impiau victor. Oh ! hi me, magical spell, all powerful I nrne ! how strong must have bt en thy i fluence. When thy f.imest memory cauli cause these b on ‘.ed heme* n thoiuand tight* mweepttk-tearful women!

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 Niagara street. We cannot give the particulars, 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.

DISTRICT JAMES L. SEWARD, j lid. DISTRICT A. H. COLQUITT. Hid. DISTRICT DAVID J. BAILEY. IVth. DISTRICT W. B. W. DENT. Vth. DISTRICT E. W. CHASTAIN. O” Mr. A. 11. Colquitt will address the citizens of Sumter county, at Americus, on the Ist Tuesday, the 6th of Septemh* r. 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.” The Comet.

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. Washington, Aug. 23, 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.

This step, says the Times , ! has undoubtedly been taken in oonsequence of the movements of Santa Anna, who is concentrating on frontier a very large military force, and sup plying it very largely with the munitions of war.

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.
