The Beautiful.
BY WILLIAM W. HARVEY.
The beautiful, the belov’d are made
For the human heart alone ;
The tranquil eves, the twilight shade,
And the wind’s delicious tone.
The cool, pellucid nights that droop,
From the thin rim of the moon ;
The orbing hours that softly loop,
The daylight and the noon ;
The long, all-dreamful days that slid
From the wings of summer time,,
Like a maiden beneath whose languid lid
Stole the picture of a rhyme—
A picture drawn by an olden rhyme,
As it rang within her ears,
Os the golden, glossy summe • time
A nd the arm’d cheva'iers,
Who, with the lance and bossy shield,
Like the silver dripping rain,
Went down to the Crimean battle field
And never returned again.
Foi’all that’s beautiful is a spell
To gather up dreamful things,
And quaint old rhymes have a kindred swell
To the wh ; rr of the summer’s wings.
And everything that God has made
lias some deep hidden good ;
And sorrow hath beauties like the shade
Os the d r ep sequestered wood.
The lilies bloom by the water’s side,
And the leaves drop on the stream ;
They float the sable t : de,
Like the bright barques of a dream ;
And thus joys drop from the lily stem
On the waves of life below,
And still we gather each former gem,
From the wavelet as we go.
So sweet are the joys that memory hath
For those who wander alone,
Or they fall l'ke sunbeams over a path
Where the light has rarely shone.
All that is beam't’ul hath a charm,
That is nigh akin to love,
Wf ch into the heart coiiks soil and warm
A a blessing from above.
A pearl-white flower witli streaks of red ;
A violet in the grove ;
However hidden hath often said
That ‘he world is fall of love.
For a love still lingers in every grove,
And a dream on every hill;
Though sorrow hath shadows over love,
Yet the spirit lingers still.
Shadows as over a tranquil stream
In the warm and silver noon,
When the lrggard cloudlet stops to dream
In the merriest days of June.
And ever and ever through day or night
The kindliest blessings rove;
The sun goes down and the moon comes up,
And the world is full of love.
A Convert to Jenkins.—We were not a little
amused, a day or two since, at the reasons given
us by an acquaintance, who seems to have
recently become “a Jenkins man all over,” to
use his own expression. “1 have come to the
conclusion/’ said our friend, “after a good deal
of observation and reflection, that a man who
has no property has no business to vote. We
who have property, have to stand the expense
and consequently ought to do the voting. I be
lieve strongly in the plan of basing the right of
suffrage entirely on the property qualification,
and a thousand dollars is a low enough standard.
No property, no vote! I used to be a Democrat,
but I’m ‘a Jenkins man all over’ now.”
While we begged leave to differ very mater
ially with our friend as to his theory of voting,
we could’nt help felling respect for the frank
ness of the man in coming plump out with his
real principles, instead ol keeping them back
and professing to be a Jenkins man because the
country is “in imminent peril.”— Atlanta Intel

What he died of. —We overheard once the
following dialogue between an alderman, and an
Irish shop-lifter:
“What’s gone of vour husband, woman ?”
“What’s gone cf him, yer honor? Faith and
he’s gone dead.”
“Ah, pray what did he die of?”
“Die of, yer honor ? he died of a Frida}’.’’
“I don’t mean what day of the week, but what
complaint ?”
“Oh, what complaint, yer honor; faith, and it’s
himself that did not get time to complain.”
“Oh, oh ! ay—he died suddenly ?”
“Rather that way, yer honor.”
“Did he fall in a fit?”
No answer.
“He tell in a fit, perhaps ?”
u 3’ er honor? why, no, not exactly that.
He tell out of a window, or through a cellar door
1 don t exactly know what they call it.”
“Ay, ay,and broke his neck?”
“No, not quite that, yer worshio ”
“What then!”
“There was a bit of a string or cord, or that
like, and it throttled poor Mike.”
Commerce of Louisville. —The Louisville pa
pers of the Ist, publish the annual commercial
statement of that city. The total receipts of
Baging and Rope during the past year, have
amounted to 85,795 pieces of the former, and
89,773 coils of the latter, which at a fair valua
tion,are worth $1,700,000. -The hog product
ot the season was equal to 100,000 barrels of
pork, and the consumption of flour 101,340
barrels.

MUSCOGEE COUNTY NOMINATIONS.
FOR SENATE,
JOSEPH STURGIS.
FOR REPRESENTATIVES,
ALEXANDER McDOUGALD,
MARTIN J. CRAWFORD.
Our Ticket Accepts.
Wo take pleasure in announcing to the public that
the candidates selected by the Democratic party of
Muscogee county have accepted the nominations ten
dered to them. They are now our Standard bearers;
and their victory will be the triumph of the Demr jra
cy ; their defeat the overthrow of the Democracy. Let
every true and genuine Democrat buokle on hia armor
and join in the battle. The Democratic flag waves in
front of the array. It is inscribed with the time hon
ored principles for which we have so long contended.
The Equality of the States ; the freedom of the people ;
and a Constitutional Union.
The Conservative Nominees-
We understand that the Conservative party on Sat
urday last met in Cjnvention and nominated Col.
Wal"? for the Senate ; and B. A. Thornton and Wil
liam Wooldridge for the House. Tne nominees
are clever gentlemen ; but they are bound to be beaten.
The Judgeship.
By reference to his letter, it wiil be seen that Col.
Holt declines to be a candidate for the Judgeship in
this circi ,; t. We think if he would allow his rpme to
be used, he would be convinced in October next, that
the people sought him for the office. An independent
judiciary, free from pavty control, is indispensable to the
liberties of the people. Will the people allow him to
decline ?
The Washington Monument.
We have received a circular from this association,
suggesting that lo.xes be opened at the polls in Octo
ber for the reception of such contributions rs our pa
triotic people may be willing to make for the completion
of this splendid monument in the Capital of the United
Sfnt’ to the memory of Washington. We hope the
commissioners appoint ?d to superintend the election
will attend to the matter. Let every cit’zen give a
dime, and the work will . con be completed. The
Secretary well says: “It wiM be pitiful, wondrous
pitiful, if out of twenty-five millions of souls who inhabit
this great country, rendered independent, prosperous
and happy, mainly by his exertions and devotion to its
cause, the sum necessary to erect a monument worthy
of such a man, cor'd not be completed for want of the
small pecuniary aid which every American should feel
it h ; s pride, rs well as his duty, to afford.”
Surgical Infirmary in Savannah.
We invite the particular attention of our readers to
the advertisement of Drs. Wildman & Ganahl, of Sa
vannah, Ga.
Dr. Wildman is too well known in this community
to require eulogy on our part. W T e think we do not
exaggerate, when we designate him the first Surgeon n
Georgia.
Dr. Ganahl has spent seven years in Europe, at the
schools and hospitals of France, England and Germany,
and has occupied the post of Physician and Surgeon to
the Savannah Hospital.
Their Institution is established on the most approved
basis of similar establishments in Europe.
The afflicted who need Surgical aid, probably can
not do better than place themselves in the hands of
these accomplished gentlemen.

Tricks of the Harlequin—Another Summerset.
When the canvass now progressing in Georgia first
opened, our readers will tecolleot that Robert Toombs
set the ball in motion by a set speech to the faithful in
this city, in wliioh he gave the plan of the campaign,
lie said many strange things, but the strangest and
most emphatic of all his sayings, was that bold one
heretofore noticed in our columns “The Compro
mise saved the Union , hut did not save the Soutfi.”
We of course expected after this announcement from
the Autocrat of the Conservative party, that we would
hear no more of “disunion” —that spell-word of the
last canvass ; that that scene in the tragedy of Con
servative polities was ended ; and that the dramatis
per son <e would go on to the next act in the play, and
raise the curtain upon the terrible scene of “the South
in danger.” For a time they were true to their prom
ise, aud Dix, \ room and Brown were marched upon
the stage arrayed in the terrible trappings of Abolition
ism • but alas! no body was alarmed 5 aud the -au
dience soon grew disgusted with the exhibition. The
stage trick was understood, and for fear of being hiss
ed off the stage, we suppose, these horned monsters
were hustled behind the curtain, the drop let down,
and the bell rang for another act. Again the great
stage manager, Toombs, appears before the audience
and announces a repe i ion of the act of “The
Union in danger.” Place, Oglethorpe—Wednesday,
September —. He,<r him :
“The Fire-eaters and Freesoilers, who bated the
l nion so terribly, two years ago, were still in ambush,
w aiting for the opportunity to have their revenge, by
destroying the Union at all hazards and upon any
pretext •, the one set to throw off the impertinent
Yankee nation, as they call them in derision ; and the
other set of destructives proceed to wash their eon
sciences from all fraternisation with slaveholders! The
danger exists, is increasing, and ought to be diminished,
Once allow the enemies of the compromise to obtain
control of the public offices, they will gradually force
their way into the high places of the Government, and
then —farewell to the Union.'’
Such is the language of Mr, Toombs at Oglethorpe,
as represented by one of his friends to the Journal
Messenger. Well, the Fire-eaters and Freesoilers, ac
cording to Mr. Toombs and his servile followers, have
obtained control of thi “public offices”—they have “forc
ed their way into the high places of the Government
and what then ? Has the Union been dissolved ? Did
any body hear its timbers give way ? Is any body
hart? It seem 9 not. Then either Mr. Pierce has not
conferred his offices on Fire-eaters and Freesoilers, or
Mr. Toombs is a false prophet. We do not care which
horn of the dilemma he gets on. In the first case, he
makes an untrue statement of facts; and in the other,
he makes a false prediction.
“The Union in danger!” how preposterous, when
every year adds to its strength and extends its boun
daries. “The South in imminent peril 1” when her fir
mest and best friends are in the ascendant, and control
the whole policy of the Administration.
We wonder if Mr. Toombs will never tire of this pre
posterous attempt to humbug the people; if his con
fidence in his own unparalleled assurance will never
fail him. We are astonished alike at his success and
his effrontery. But his time has come; when the crafty
fox doubles upon his track you may be sure his pur
suers aro hard upon his heels, and that the hour ot his
dcom is nigh. This at'empt to revive the shadowy
ghost of 1850 at this stage of the canvass is a pregnant
sign that he doubts the success of his last throw. The
game is slipping from his hands, and by October he
will be a broken and desperate political gamester.
True, the South is in peril, but not now. As long
rs Franklin PierGe and Jefferson Davis wield the power
and patronage of the Government, we are safe. But
when the results of the policy forced upon the South by
Mr. Toombs and his allies, whereby the immense domain
on the Pacific was dedicated to freesoil, shall have de
veloped itself, and the reins of Government are in the
hands of other men, then will the South be in
danger—then will she enter upon the long, hopelers,
aud dreary minority, predicted by Mr. Hilliard, with no
power to prevent oppression and no spirit t a resist it.
When that day and that hour shall come, the South
will point to Mr. Toombs and the reckless party he leads
as the authors of her wee.
The Eufaula Railroad again*
We perceive that an attempt ; s being made to di
rect the attention of the cit ; zens of Eufaula from the
proposed Railroad connection with this city, to one
with Montgomery, at Union Springs. Wo are surpri
sed that any practical man should give oountenance to
this delusion for a moment. It is necessary to
build only thirty miles of Railroad to secure a connec
tion with Columbus ; and Eufaula wi'l beassisted in
this work by a subscription of at least fifty thousand
dollars by the City Council ; and one of at least seven
ty-five or eighty thousand dollars by the wealthy citi
zens of Glennville. r his road therefore is feasible, and
will be built if the >ple of Eufaula are true their own
interests; and will give them a connecton with Savan
nah, only about seven miles longer than the most di
reot road they can build, and also with Mobile, through
the Girard road, and the rich valleys of upper Geor
gia and Tennessee, by the Opelika Branch Road.
On the other hand, Eufaula cannot connect with
Montgomery without building a road at least one hun
dred miles long. It is idle to suppose that Montgome
ry can give her any effectual aid in this work. The
entire resources of Montgomery are pledged to the
Pensacola Road. Five hundred thousand dollars of
her capital is already pledged to this enterpsise ; and
we presume th : s is as much money as a city of her re
sources can bear. Besides she is compelled to aid in
other works connecting her with the Railroad system
which is surrounding her, or loose her importance by
the superior advantages which this system will confer
on the rival town Selma. We take it, therefore, that
Montgomery cannot build the contemplated Road to
Union Springs for many years to come. Neither can
Eufaula look for aid from the people in the neighbor
hood of Chunnenugggo Ridge. Their entire energies
are directed to the completion of the Girard Road to
their doors, by which they will be brought into connec
tion with the splendid Railroad system of Georgia.—
Can Eufaula then build the road to Union Springs unaid
ed, except by the meagre subscriptions she can pick up
on the line of the road ? The question is absurd. And
if she be able to build a road which cannot be short
er than forty five miles, what will she gain when it is
comp’eted ? Simply a connection with Mobile aud Co
lumbus, through the Girard Road—an end she would
equally obtain by a rood to Colbert.
For fear that someone may imagine that we are
blinded by our location, we gladly refer to the authori
ty of Charles T. Pollard, the able President of the
Montgomery and West Point Railroad, as to the fea
sibility of building a road to Union Springs from Mont
gomery. After admitting that the Girard Road will be
completed, he says in a letter to Daniel Pratt, which
may found in the Autauga Citizen , “But it the Gi
rard Road is continued to Mobile, I can see no benefit
to be derived by Montgomery from building a road to
Union Springs, which is an independent and isolated
route, and would not, I believe, do business enough to
pay the expenses of making it.”
Mr. Pollard, is a citizen of Montgomery, better
posted in Railroad enterprises than any man perhaps
in Alabama, and very largely interested in every work
which will enchanee the prosperity of that city. His |
authority upon this point is conclusive. If, therefoie, ]
the people of Eufaula desire a Railroad, let them bend
all their energies to the Columbus connection, and there :
can be no reasonable doubt but that their wishes will be j
realized in a very short time.
The Muscogee Railroad.
We republish this article in order to correct .a typo
graphical error.
By reference to our advertising columns it will fce
seen that freight on cotton to Savannah has been redu
ced to fifty cents a hundred pounds. This will secure
a very large freight business this winter to the Road.—
We are pleased to learn that the business of the Road
is now very heavy, and that the stream of travel which
flows over it is constantly increasing.
It may be of interest to travellers to know that an
express train leaves Savannah every week on the arri
val of the steamers, and that the connection is con
tinuous to Montgomery, Ala. This is therefore the
quickest and cheapest route of travel from New York
to New Orleans.
Shipwreck. —We learn wiih regret that the Ship
Asia, Capt. Robinson, which cle-ved here for Europe on
the 27th ult, was driven ashore on Sand Island on ‘ast
Wednesday night. The Ship will be a total loss, we
understand, and probably but little of her cargo, which
consisted of spars, handspikes, hewn timber and dtek
plank, can be saved, — Mobile Register.

the Senate at the approaching election, and had constituted

Although the nomination was wholly unsolicited on my

dressed to Judge Sturgis, M. J. Crawford and myself, in
forming me that a convention of the Democratic party of
Muscogee county held that day, had nominated me as one
of their candidates for Representative at the approaching

cate the same, and ask my acceptance.
I have also seen the resolutions adopted by that conven

Columbus, Sept. 9, 1853.
Gentlemen—l have received your note informing me that
Judge Sturgis, Col. McDougald and myself had b m nomi
nated to represent Muscogee county in the next Legislature.
I d ; d not desire this nomination, and had I known that it
was intended, I should have positively refused the use of
my name, but it’s now made, and I cannot, injustice to
the principle upon which it was made, decline.
Ice that the old line Democracy, the Union Democra
cy and the Southern Rights Whigs who support the admin*
istration of Gen. Pierce, are represented by your ticket; it
is, therefore, presumed that thus uniting upon terms of
equality and justice between all the elements composing the
party none need complaiu.

[FOR THE TIMES AND SENTINEL.]
Columbus, Sept. 9, 1853.
Mess.... Editors : I reached this city yesterday after an
absence of more than two months, and find the question of
my candidacy forjudge of the Chattahoochee Circuit still,
to some extent, agitated.
As I have been directly approached on this subject through
your columns of the 7th inst., by “A member of the Bar,”
will you allow me their use, so far as to say, in reply to that
communication and to all other enquiries, that I am not a
candidate.
In a former letter addressed to a gentleman of the Circuit,
and which met the eye of the public, through the Columbus
Enquirer of the 14th of Jane, I said, and in eo saying, was
entirely sincere, that I did not desire the office. lat the
same time intimated that I should not feel at liberty to de
cline a call to it by the people of the Circuit, (not by a par
ty) if made under such circumstances as indicated that the
office sought me as its incumbent, rather than I the office.
Near three months have elapsed since the letter ..Haded
to, and Ido not feel that any such call has been made
upon me.
While I have received the personal and flattering solici
tations of “A member of the Bar” and many valued frierds
to become a candidate, the evidence has not been by any
means afforded that such is the desire of the people of the
Circuit.
On the contrary, so far as any indication has been made
it has been in favor of another; and whatever may be my
individual opinion of the policy and propiiety of party
nominations in this particular connection, it constitutes the
most marked expression of the popular will to which pub
licity has been given.
Duly censible ofthe individual preference of “A member
of the Bar” and others, I feel that no violence is done to
their friendship or to any duty which I owe the public—
while I indulge my own preference in announcing that I I
am not a candidate. _ 1
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant.

from the vastness of the Universe, in comparison
with the apparent insignificance of this globe*
has sometimes shaken my reason tor the faith
which is in me ; but my heart has always assured
and reassured me that the gospel of Jesus Christ
must be a divine reality. The sermon on
mount cannot be a merely human production.
This belief enters into the very depth ot my
conscience. The w hole history of man proves
it Daniel Webster.
