85P’* > The author ol the following stanzas, (says the Lou isville Journal,) is one ol the trut ‘t poets that our land has produced. There is always something in his poetry which distinguishes it from all other poetry. Ws thoughts and ut terances are peculiarly his own. 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 ligencer. 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. r ‘Embracing Christianityis what the Ivmg „* jd the firgt time lw h .

J. JONES. 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. ICT Mrs. Marble’s School commences Monday, 26th inst. For particulars, see advertisement. Jno. A. Dii. This Gentleman has written a letter to Garvin of Augusta in which he denies that he ever was an Abo litionist, sustains the Fugitive Slave law, and places him self upon the Baltimore Platform. 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. Cokumbus, Sept. 6, 1853. Hon. Joseph Sturgis, Col. Alex. Me Doug aid, and Col. Martin J. Crawford. Gentlemen —At a meeting of delegates ol the Democra tic party of Muscogee connty, held iu Columbus this day, Hon. Joseph Sturgis was unanimously nominated a candi date for Senator, and Col.

REDDING. * TILMAN D. WESI, „s’ Columbus, Sept. 9th, 1853. Yours of the 6th inst. has been received, addressed to Messrs. Crawford and McDougald and myself, informing me that a convention of the Democratic party of Muscogee county held that day, had nominated me their candidate for the Senate at the approaching election, and had constituted you a commitr 3 to commur’cate the same, and ask my acceptance. Although the nomination was wholly unsolicited on my pa.*., Ido not feel at libeliy to decline it, and aha”, ther. • fore, accept the same. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, JOSEPH STURGIS. To Messrs. B. V. Iverson and otheru, committee. Columbus, Sept. 9, 1853. Gentlemen —Yours of the 6th inst. has been received, ad 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 election, and had appointed you a committee to communi- J cate the same, and ask my acceptance. I have also seen the resolutions adopted by that conven tion, laying down the basis upon which the party would act; the resolutions are in accordance with my views and m a 3t my hearty approval, and 1 therefore, accept the nomi nation. Respectfully your ob’t. eerv’t. ALEX. McDOUGALD. To Me; re. B. V. Iverson and others, committee. 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. Very respectfully, MARTIN J. CRAWFORD. To Me T.J. B. V. Iverson and others, committee. [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. HINES HOLT. { The New Election Law . —The Central Georgian j gives the following summary of tho New Election Law, j passed by the last Legislature. It is intended to regu late all Elections except those of the militia: *‘Bv it all managers of elections, whether freeholders, I Justices of the Inferior Court, or Justices of the Peace, are required to take and subscribe the oath there men "ioned • which must be written and subscribed on the sheet containing the list of voters ; in addition to the lLt heretofore required to be returned, an additional list of the voters must be returned to the Clerk of the Supe rior Court, within three days after said election, for the use of the Grand Jury of the Caunty. It will also be seen that the number of the votes upon the list is re quired to be entered on the ticket; but on counting ont the tickets the managers are prohibited from exposing the tickets, or allowing bystanders from examining the numbers. These are to be sealed up and returned to the Ch rk of the Superior Court, where they are to re main sixty days, and if the election is not then contested, they are to be burned without opening or examining ; they are not subject to be examined by any one except such election shall be contested.” Moses Livingston, who effected his escape from the jail of Henry County on Sunday night the 28th ult, by the aid of some person on the outside, wrs retaken in Randolph Cos., Ga., on Tuesday last, and again com mitted to jail.

Tomb o f Mr. Webster.— A marble block has been placed in front of Mr. Webster’s tomb at Marshfield—similar to those which he erected in memory of his wife, son and daughters— which bears the following inscription : DANIEL WEBSTER, BORN, JANUARY 18, 1782, Died, October 24, 1852. Lord, I believe, help thou my unbelief. Philosophical argume n t, especially that drawn 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.
